"So let me get this straight. You're an archer with a rap sheet with the Empire, who also sings beautifully, has dangerous friends and goes on insanely risky missions, -and- you're a chocolatier. Oh, and you're pretty cute, I guess."
"Sounds about right, yeah."
- U'zamza to Rihxo
- X'rihxo Matoi, better known as simply Rihxo or Miss Matoi to some, was born on the 24th Sun of the 1st Astral Moon. Rihxo grew up with a quiet enough life in Limsa Lominsa, training under her father in the manner of the bow. The oldest of her four siblings, Rihxo always had an optimistic look on life, and left home fairly early on, followed by her youngest sister X'rhoxi. Now, Rihxo aims to brighten the spirits of all she meets in Eorzea, be it through song or through her natural charisma.
- Rihxo may be from Limsa Lominsa, but since she has found there are often more people in Ul'dah, she spends most of her time there. You can often find her in the Quicksand, and occasionally wandering about the markets. If she isn't there, then she is most likely at home back in Limsa Lominsa or out on the job.
- Rihxo has never really bothered to keep up with politics and doesn't plan to change that. As long as the people don't suffer for the government's doings, she is fine with it.
- Currently working for the free company Arcadeus.
Rihxo's Inventory
Rihxo always keeps a large satchel at her hip, no matter what she's wearing. Last updated: May 20th, 2016.
- - Two tins (about the size of a bread plate) of pearl chocolate.
- - One tin (also about the size of a bread plate) of a mix of pearl chocolate and sour berry candy.
- - A leather-bound journal. A bit worn, though looks to be fairly new.
- - Medium-sized Gil pouch.
- - Three sticks of charcoal.
- - 5 arrows with emerald fletchings.
- - A hunting knife.
- - A thin, but sturdy pouch. Appears to hold papers.
- - A hardback journal. Embossed on the front is a rose, with silver and gold filigree. A Starlight gift from Zamza.
- - A fox pelt.
Height: 5 fulms 4 ilms
Weight: 100 ponz
Complexion: Sandy Tan
Hair: Gunmetal Blue
Eyes: Emerald Green
- Rihxo is a Miqo'te whose outward appearance might be a little intimidating at first, but looking past that, she is rather cute. The first things one would notice about Rihxo is that her right eye is always covered by an elegant crimson eye patch, and showing just below it is a scar along her cheekbone. The visible eye - her left one - is a bright, vivid emerald green. If asked to show one the eye, she might agree if she trusts them enough; usually she will just describe it as 'cut up something fierce'. She has a more rounded face and two white markings under each eye, though one is usually covered by the patch, as well as two brown stripes on each cheek and her forehead. Her lips are naturally a deeper red, and her skin is tanned from plenty of time out in the sun. Her hair is, arguably, one of her most defining features; it's a long, pastel blue mess of a mane, with enough curls and volume to hide a Lalafell in. (She hasn't tried, but if someone told her this, she probably would.)
- Rihxo's body is naturally rather curvy, boasting an ample chest and wider hips. Her legs are thick and accustomed to many days of travel, typical of any Miqo'te. While thin, her form is a bit more muscular than one might expect, but don't let that fool you; Rihxo's true talent is in her dexterity, where she is able to easily move around gracefully and quickly. Most of her movements are light and airy, but with a purpose; never clumsy, but never seeming calculated. When in combat, she will often use this to her advantage, shuffling and weaving about the battlefield in something reminiscent of an intricate dance.
- Her voice is usually rather upbeat and happy toned, though a deeper pitch than what one might expect from her demeanor. When angered, it tends to get higher pitched, which doesn't help her in the slightest. Singing, however, her voice is melodic and often described as just plain beautiful. She tends to get a bit shy when complimented on her voice, even though she's done these things for years.
- Given the title of "Chocolate Queen", Rihxo always smells of various kinds of sweets, most notably... well, chocolate. Her hair has a tendency to smell like berries, though. According to Trin Morwen, she tastes like chocolate and cherries.
Scars and Markings
- ♥ Right Eye/Cheekbone: Two scars over her eye. Rendered the eye blind. Another along her cheekbone.
- ♥ Left Shoulder: Spear wound. Looks like a puncture wound.
- ♥ Waist (Left side): Spear slash. Also a tear in her coat there, though it's been stitched back up.
(Art by Yourou on Tumblr.)
- Rihxo is an easygoing girl, at least when you first meet her. Casual with her conversation but a bit more formal with her words, she's easy enough to understand. Despite living in Limsa Lominsa all her life, she doesn't carry much of an accent, though it does come out a bit more when she's drunk. It's uncommon to see her without a smile on her face, save for when a situation really doesn't call for it. Often, she's unintentionally flirtatious, simply giving a compliment and it comes off as flirtatious. Due to this, she's had a fair share of suitors come after her, most of them rejected (though not painfully; she's too oblivious and often just too sweet to turn them down directly).
- Getting to know Rihxo better, it's more obvious that she has a lot of things that haunt her about her past, but they don't seem to get to her, at least not too much. She's still quite agreeable, and her loyalty is undeniable; though, both of these were evident from the start. Typically she is relaxing with one (...or more) of her friends in the Quicksand, or simply out on the job.

Rihxo's fighting style is very elegant, surprisingly enough; all of her movements tend to look like she's performing a very intricate dance. She prefers to keep her distance from a target - not below using laced arrows and carefully placed, precise strikes to help disable them - before going for the killing shot, often aimed at the temple. If someone gets too close - as in, she is completely unable to use her bow - she will pull daggers from her boots (always thigh-high for this reason) and begin to fight with those, though this is seen as a last resort. If there is clearly no hope for her, she will flee if she deems it necessary in order to live. Her arrows are color-coded for her own sake; all have red fletchings, but the 'fiery hot' ones have red shafts. Rarely, a killing blow will be dealt with a green-fletched arrow. This is her way of honoring her father, X'matoi, who used green-fletched arrows; this is done when she feels a target would be a kill her father would be proud of.
Weapons
Rihxo's signature weapon is her bow, which she's grown very adept with over the years. Several months ago, she completed her formal training with the Archer's guild. Her sister, Rahwa, forged her a new bow to commemorate her graduation. Lightweight and almost gothic in appearance, the bow is an impressive work of weaponry, and Rihxo is incredibly proud of it. For some armors, though, it is glamoured to appear to be a more simplistic red and orange-hued one (because looks are important to her, for whatever reason).
Rihxo has been taking lessons from the Dutiful Sisters and has been seen occasionally using daggers. They are your typical Maelstrom Lieutenant's issue, though carved into the pommels of the daggers are the symbols of Azeyma and Menphina. They look as though they have been used before, moreso than they wold if just Rihxo had wielded them...
Magic
Rihxo has a bare minimum understanding of magic, since she never really learned about any of it. As such, any questions about magic would best be directed to her sisters - specifically Rhoxi.
Crafting
Rihxo is unsure as to what crafts she wants to take up (other than improving her culinary skills), but she does have an interest in weaving and carpentry so that she can make clothing and create new bows.
Birth and childhood (0-10)
- Rihxo was the first born out of all of her siblings in Limsa Lominsa. She never got a taste of the tribal life, as her parents had decided to settle in the coastal city for reasons never really disclosed to Rihxo. It was a relatively peaceful time, with her brother R'theqe and the twins Ratoh and Rahwa born one year and three years after her, respectively. At age two Rihxo nearly fell off one of the walkways on the Upper Decks. At age five she would begin her homeschooling with her mother, and her youngest sister Rhoxi was born.
Teen Years
- Rihxo's brother left for Ul'dah when she was thirteen to receive formal training as a pugilist. Rihxo began training under her father at age fourteen, and learned the ways of archery, which is her best skill as of late. Rhoxi also followed her around like a lost chocobo chick, which was something that would remain unchanged until Rhoxi turned about sixteen.
Adulthood
- Rihxo had set out for Gridania to receive formal training with the archers there, her sister Rhoxi her shadow as always. However, on the way there, the Calamity hit, and thus the two had to return to Limsa Lominsa to ensure that their family had made it through alright. All of the siblings had made it out, but there was no sign of their parents. Rihxo likes to think that her parents are alive, just far away somewhere. But she knows this likely isn't true.
- After staying with her siblings for a while, she decided to take up mercenary work as a way to keep money coming in. She always took up as many jobs as she could complete, and tried to ensure they were all done as soon as she could. The strenuous pace, surprisingly, exhilarated her, and she's kept it up to this day.
Rihxo's Parents
- Rihxo's mother, X'rohni Matoi, was a first lieutenant in the Maelstrom. A silver-tongued and attractive rogue, she served from the day she could enlist until the Battle of Carteneau, where it is assumed she died. When she wasn't busy with her work as a lieutenant, she would often do humanitarian work, and was thus often away from home. After the battle, her body was never found, and has been officially labelled as "Missing" for the years since. Rihxo gave up on her search about a year ago, but even now, a tiny part of her wants to believe her mother is out there, even though she knows this is almost certainly not the case.
- Would your character know of/about Rihxo's mother?: Yes, if they had access to Maelstrom documents, or served in the Maelstrom before the battle.
- Rihxo's father, X'matoi Tia (though, since they were never very tribal cats, he was sometimes called Rokaya Matoi) was a famed archer throughout La Noscea, known as one of its finest. The Emerald Arrow, (called this due to not only his striking eyes that all the Matoi children share as well as the color of the fletchings he used) as some called him, was always one to fight for justice, even if he had peculiar ways of going about it. His work and private life were kept very separate, however, and thus Rihxo never knew much about what he did. Much like Rihxo's mother, he fought at the Battle of Cartenau, and was never seen since. He has also been officially labelled as "Missing" since the battle. Rihxo wishes he were still here, as she wanted to learn more of his wisdom, not to mention he would play a pivotal role in helping Valen, as he had helped him before.
- Would your character know of/about Rihxo's father?: Yes, if they had access to Maelstrom documents, lived in La Noscea before the Battle of Carteneau, or took on mercenary work in Thanalan or La Noscea.

Want to walk up to Rihxo? Can't figure out how to start a conversation? Here's some ideas!
♥ You notice Rihxo's scent. It's a pretty powerful one of chocolate, and if you're close enough to her, her mane hair smells like berries alongside that.
♥ Rihxo is often clad, head to toe, in an almost entirely crimson outfit - matching eye patch and all. This has earned her the affectionate titles of "Madame Red" from Nanagi and "Strawberry" from Ben.
♥ Her bow is rather... unique. Gothic in appearance, she's never seen without it. It's obviously something special to her.
♥ About a month ago, the primal Ifrit was summoned. She and Nanagi, often seen around Ul'dah, were missing during this time - suspicious, to say the least.
♥ If your character is a Garlean, or a spy for them of some kind, the name Matoi might be recognizable. The family is currently wanted dead by Garlemald. (Ask/let me know before using this one, please!)
♥ Another one of her affectionate titles, "Chocolate Queen", is from her tendency to always have chocolate on her - very delicious chocolate. She doesn't mind sharing!
♥ Rumor has it that a Miqo'te clad in red, a Lalafell clad in black, and a Hyur in glowing armor came out from a Garlean base... after having destroyed it. The three quickly left together as well.
♥ If you lived in Limsa pre-Calamity, it's quite likely you ran into Rihxo. She lived there her whole life, and was often seen in the Wench singing for money.
♥ Note on pre-Calamity Relations: I'm really interested in these, as it makes for interesting backstory and future RP! Rihxo's changed a lot after the Calamity - personality and looks-wise - so it's definitely possible it could happen! Message me if you're interested in doing something with that!

About the Player:
Hi! I usually go by Silent or Novi online. Or you can just call me Rihxo, I really don't care.
I take too many screenshots (seriously, look at my gallery, I have a bit of a problem) and I skip on leveling to RP. Yeah, I admit it. Sometimes I cosplay, and sometimes I do decent art, I guess.
I'm on the East Coast so I'm in the EST time zone, and usually online in the evenings on weekdays and pretty much all day on weekends. I'm open to forum RP, as well, though I might be slow with replies. (I check that less often.)
Do you like to RP? Then I want to RP with you! If you see me in-game, walk up! Rihxo doesn't bite. Any comments on my wiki are welcomed, as well. In-game, I am Rihxo Matoi if you want to whisper me or add me to your friends list so we can RP sometime later.
Thanks for reading this whole wiki! It took me a while to put together. Danke, mein Freund! (Thank you, my friend!) (Oh, also, I know a little bit of German. Surprise?)
Annotations:
This template created by Rihxo Matoi (y'know, me) with the help of Nanagi Nagi and has pieces from the templates of Unnamed Mercenary, Roen Deneith, Cyrus Wolfe, Odette Saoirse, Jaliqai Qulaan, Xeiz Feine, D'lyhhia Lhuil. and Coatleque Crofte,
Danke sehr, alle! (Thank you, everyone!)
Other Stuff
- Yes, Rihxo's entire family has names that begin with R. Why? I really don't know. I just felt like having a lot of R alliteration, I guess.
- Rihxo looks great in an armorkini. Too bad this will never be seen IC.
- I wrote this "Other Stuff" thing at 3am and I have no idea why.
- Nanagi is an IRL friend of mine, which is why I mention her a lot, both IC and OOC. And hey, Valen is too! Shoutout to both of you <3
