Race: Greenscale Skarlak
Age: 30
Home:
Pillar: Emeri
Notable Features
Rimi's father has some blackscale blood mixed in the family and that is noticeable in her looks. With sharp teeth, spikes and horns she can look a bit scary sometimes. Not very attractive to a greenscale, who mostly looks for human-like features in a mate. Not that she cares much about finding a mate.
Background
Rimi's parents run a shop in King's port, specialized in luxury tea and fine spices. Rimi grew up helping in the shop and doing deliveries. She especially liked the math that came with counting the money at the end of the day and delivering at places where stories gathered. At the inns, she would often stay to listen to the songs and folktales of the bards and the marvelous stories of travelers. Some of her favorite places were the private schools and academies around the city, where she looked in awe at the interesting instruments and listened full of wonder at the lectures. Though she did not always understood what exactly they were talking about, she always was eager to learn more about the wonderful subjects. Her parents were proud to see their daughter so eager to learn and were more than willing to turn a blind eye to the fact that their "delivery girl", took so long to return from her errands. Until one day that all changed.
Rimi was seven years old when her parents caught her with a stolen artifact after returning from a tea delivery to a mage. Her attachment to the rare and shiny magical stone made them see a whole different side of their daughter. Though the mage forgave Rimi after she apologized and returned the artifact, her parents were very disappointed in her. They decided that it would be better for business if Rimi would stop delivering for a while. They made arrangements with one of their traders to teach Rimi the skills of a merchant. After packing up and saying goodbye, Rimi left in the care of the traders. While traveling she learned to haggle and how to make a good profit, but she also learned how to play instruments and gathered stories from all the parts of the country.
Between Rimi's tenth and eleventh birthday, she returned from one of her travels with the news that she had attuned to a pillar. Although they were sad to have missed this moment, her parents were glad that she had attuned to Emeri. This would surely favor their daughter in setting up her own business. In the years that followed, after more traveling and studying, she had become the owner of her own trading business.
Personality
Rimi loves stories, folklore and knowledge. Almost as much as money. And rare items, did I mention rare items? She likes to be in charge and have things go according to her plan. She is cautious and it seems like she hires a lot of people to protect her caravan. Even though she seems to be able to handle her own in a fight.
Feelings Towards PCs
Eierryn and Sly: Very good with animals. That fox is good for business, especially now we made a name as the Silver Foxes. Eierryn did not have the chance to show her true potential in battle yet though. Rimi is curious to see her fighting style. Maybe she can teach Eieryn a trick or two with the dagger.
Glad of War: A good warrior and he gets along with the other members of the crew, although he can be obnoxious at times.
Krom: Rimi and Krom go back years. She met him when he was hired for one of the caravans she was traveling with. She hired him herself a few times after she began her own business and is very fond of him. He is fun to be around and she feels she can trust him with her worries. He does drink a lot. Maybe too much. Still, it hasn't made for any troubles during travel and/or fights.
Haaszander: Although Haas can act strange sometimes, Rimi is fond of her. Maybe it is because they are both Skarlak, or maybe because she has many things to learn from her. She's very interested in her lore about the pillars, her stories from traveling and venom. She likes to spar with her and learn more techniques.
Feelings Towards NPCs
Elias: Impressive and interesting. Rimi thinks he is a good addition to the team and hopes to learn a thing or two from him. Makes Phrixus look small and puny.
Phrixus: Originally brought in to scare away bandits, Phrixus turned into the target of Glad and Krom's jokes. Rimi takes pity on him and tells them off when she thinks it gets out of hand. His new abilities are a good asset to the team, better keep him around.
Tilly: She is young and funny. Her potions and knowledge about ingredients come in handy in situations. She reminds Rimi of her younger sister and feels a bit protective of her.
Tova: A Westerner. Rimi understands why he kept it a secret and believes his story. She trusts him wiith maning the stand.
Susie: Rimi is very protective of her little sister, who is 14 years younger than her. While Rimi looks like her father and has a wilde reptilian look, Susie takes after her mother and is is softer, much more like a human. When she was small she always looked up to her big sis. Now Susie is just a rebellious, obnoxious little brat. *sigh* But family is family....
Imbri: She does not like Imbri. Started off at the wrong foot. The crew seems to trust him though. A little.
Ephrath: Seemed like a good guy. Turned out to be a filthy arserag. It was fun seeing his skull bashed by Krom. The memory of the sound of the cracking of his cranium will always bring a smile to her face.
