A young, female Keeper Miqo'te, Rhysa is short in stature and delicately-boned. Born with a shock of pure white hair, she keeps it styled loose, with only a loose braid to keep most of it out of her face whilst she roams Eorzea. Pale skin speaks of hours spent venturing out only past sundown, as was her tribe's tradition, while curious blue eyes seek out each and every new anomaly she stumbles across. Her large ears twitch and pivot at the slightest noise, while her tail sweeps behind her, its fur longer and shaggier than the average Miqo'te.
Scars & Markings: White tribal markings curve under her eyes and edge along her brow line, while a lone scar sits in her cheek. A Rhysa-typical injury, she gained it years ago when scrapping with her older, larger sister, despite knowing she'd lose.
Voice: A half-decent singer, Rhysa's voice often takes on a humming, melodious pitch, often causing others to confuse her statements for questions. More recently, the Keeper has proven that with a modicum of effort, she can lessen the accent to her voice to something closer to those of the city-folk, those she has yet to find a good reason to.
Clothing: As the fifth and final child in her family, the young explorer grew up clothed in hand-me-downs and patchworked threads. As an adult, she cares little for what she is wearing, so long as it gets the job done–Yet an observer might notice a certain spark in her eyes when passing tailors displaying their wares that may hint to a certain.. fascination. Above all else, the former huntress is near always found with a flower of some kind strewn into her hair, for reasons she remains noticably tight-lipped.
A studious individual, Rhysa often gives strangers the false impression that she is meek and quiet. In reality, once the miqo'te opens her mouth to ask a question, you may be hard pressed to get her to stop. Her interest in the world around her often trumps her interest for the people in that world, unless you are of race that she's yet to encounter. Still, if you can get her to stop and chat for a moment, Rhysa is a rather friendly and good-natured young woman, if a bit naive and gullible at times. If you prove to be someone of interest, or reveal yourself to be knowledgable in a field she is not (which are.. most fields), be prepared for an onslaught of studying looks and queries.

A prominent figure in the ever-inquisitve Keeper's life. Pirate captain, general scoundrel, and admittedly both dangerous and volatile, the man has oft proven to be a bit of a enigma both utterly foreign and achingly familiar in behaviour to the young woman. Rhysa has.. feelings for him. Strong ones. Ones she's quickly becoming more sure of, as time goes by. The pair have become ever-closer, and Rhysa is.. not keen to let him go anytime soon.
A fellow explorer, Rhysa met him at the end of a tedious hunt and discovered their similar interests in an evening of lively drinking. Friendly and charming, they've had a series of run-ins, and now that there are less secrets between them, the Keeper takes it upon herself to occasional worry about his state of being, especially after hearing of some of the things done to him.
A threatening mystery, Rhysa counts herself lucky to have survived the encounter with the foreboding MIqo'te.. if he could still truly be classified as one. Still, despite the menace he seemed to exude constantly, he provided both companionship and intrigue. Already she has more questions for the next time they stumbled upon each other-- if she lives through a next time, that is.
My boss! Mysterious, but with'a sense of humour behind th' disguises. A bit spooky, but 'n a way that I wouldn't mind being, one day.(WIP)

■ "Heard she got lost in the South Shroud again- Girl doesn't have her head screwed on straight."
◢ Uncommon Rumors -A little more difficult to hear. Use sparingly or ask first!
■ "Say, I heard Rhysa's run out of Gil. Poor girl can't seem to find a steady job."
■ "Damned Miqo'te stole fruit from me! Saw her lookin' pretty keen as she held those oranges. Shoulda known better."

■ "Think she's fair an' shy? Don't let her pretty face fool you. I think Sass has a knack fer bein' deceivin'. She's by no means weak despite her appearance, she knows how to use those claws. Oh... that she does." Vasir'li Solhu
■ "There is something going on between her and Black Jack, that is for certain. But whatever it is, she is not opposed to sticking up for herself when he makes an idiot of himself. If you ever find yourself on a date with her, do well to hold your tongue and keep an eye on her, lest she slip out the back with something of your person." Es'mena Nenda
■ "She's a liar and she stands there lookin' like a antelope 'fore a bow while her friends attack people!" Mek'ir Azhra
Hawk's Eye. A youth spent hunting game of all sizes with her sisters has made Rhysa into a formidable archer, more than able to hold her weight among her fiercesome litter.
Swiftsong. Near always the smallest in a group, the ivory-haired miqo'te makes up in speed what her slight form has denied her in strength, often utilizing this to put lethal distance between a beast and her arrows.
Fang and Claw. It would be unwise to dismiss her unarmed lethality. Born with the sharp claws of her race and the long canines of her tribe, she is not above using them as a last resort against a foe that has backed her into a corner.
Passive
Darkvision. As a Keeper of the Moon, a nocturnal evolution has granted her kind increased vision in the darkness they are so often surrounded by.
Detect. Another gift given from her time spent tracking wild prey through shrouded forests, Rhysa's sight and hearing have been honed to a sharp point. Movement in her line of sight or range of hearing very seldom go unnoticed, making her a hard target to sneak up on.
Resistances
Night Chills. A pleasant enough stroll during daylight hours, the temperature in the Black Shroud lowers significantly as the sun does, acclimitazing those who choose to wander in the darkness. Rhysa can stand colder temperatures than many, though artic temperatures are still lethal.
Featherfoot. Agile by birth and trade, Rhysa makes for a slippery target with any kind of distance.
Weaknesses
Sunlight. Born and raised in the safety of the shade, Rhysa is harshly affected by bright lights and hot heats, to the point of being nearly unable to function.
Personal Space. Small, slight, and used to range combat, she has little to no recourse against armed enemies that can get close and stay close.
