Backstory

Rufina always had issues standing up for herself, instead living in the shadows of her friends and following their every move. She always wished she could be tougher to make sure she can be the best version of herself she strives to be. She hides in an emotional shell and tries not to break it. She met Jaunea and Lavender at a young age, choosing to go with them to become a White Mage, as she wishes to care for people, something she wishes was done for her.

She had a huge fear of standing out, and upon meeting Samantha in their White Mage class, Rufina became highly jealous. She was not only highly different in appearance to the other White Mages, but was also skilled. This made her feel she has failed as a human, but instead of learning from Samantha and being the lady she wants to be, she and her friends decided to pick on her to bring her down, as the other two also had some sort of vendetta against her.

The last straw broke when the three of them went and mocked Samantha for minutes straight to get her to break, causing her to tear up and run away. She felt some form of sadness from this, as she noticed this behavior she threw at Samantha, insulting her for her weight and other physical traits, she felt like crying herself after realizing she was once on the receiving end of this.

After a while, hearing Samantha became queen of their kingdom and overthrew a prior false royal family, she realized she needed to plead forgiveness, fearing she would get executed to pushing her to her breaking point. But instead, Samantha responded with only kindness and acceptance. She cried, perhaps tears of joy, that she was not getting executed, or perhaps because this is what she was hoping for. She simply gave her a hug, apologizing sincerily, offering her aid whenever she may need it. From that day on, she never spoke with Samantha again, but deep down, wishes she had another opportunity, perhaps to learn from her.

She now idolized the person she once pushed around and mocked. She soon after distanced herself slightly more from Jaunea and Lavenera more and more to find her own purpose in life, one of redemption and faith. But as the two raised her like mothers, she still runs back to them from time to time for comfort. She never got to achieve her goal of standing up for herself fully, but always tries to leave a positive mark on others daily, even those friends, hoping to push them to the right direction of kindness she is also aiming towards, as she believes the main goal of a White Mage isn't to be the top-class, toughest or prettiest, but to be there for those who need you, and she aims to put those words into action any way she can.

Physical appearance

Rufina is a 5'06" tall girl with an average figure, hidden underneath a white mage robe with maroon triangles as opposed to the usual red ones. She has long maroon hair tied in a ponytail by a small brown bandana, with brown eyes and a beige skintone.

Personality

When she is not around Jaunea or Lavendera, Rufina tends to be highly sensitive and timid, usually spacing away from people, but when she is around them, she seems like a completely different person. She is quite tough and relentless to others who she thinks opposes her. Most people think she just tries to appear innocent just to make others let their guard down, but the truth is she lives in fear. She tends to get highly jealous of those who can stand out from others without fear or who force their path, as she always falls short and comes running back to her closest friends for help. She is scared of betraying them, even if it's the smallest thing.

Plotline

If Samantha and Richard choose to arrive to their home, the three White Mages will notice them, as Rufina will approach them and invite them in kindly. Many different conversations here will ensue depending on which of the White Mages is spoken to. When approaching Rufina, she will ask Samantha if she is injured, hoping she remains safe.

After speaking with all three of them, they will take a small break to have a meal together, to which they accept. Further conversations will start from there, such as the three girls saying how their lives have been going recently and giving more comments about their past with Samantha, to which she will respond with "Honestly, if you three didn't push me to my breaking point, this whole thing might have never happened. Sometimes, I look back upon that day as the worst day of my life, but I remember, this was the day that I was rescued by Richard...if none of this ever happened, who knows if we would have ever found eachother...so I treasure this day, as strange as it may sound." to which all three of them asked her how the two of them even met, to which Samantha's face turns a burning, embarrassed red color, but Richard comforts Samantha and the two explain further what happened. They understood and apologized again, and Samantha says again "If this hadn't happened, I probably would've never met Richard. At this point, it felt like some sort of blessing in disguise."

After this long chat about their past and learning about eachother more, the four of them gained a mutual understanding for eachother.
