__________________IN-DEPTH STUFF

Physical Description
Risa has bronze skin and jet black hair that seems to almost have hints of red, green, gold, and purple in it under certain lights, like a black opal; her eyes are a dark, earthy brown. She's built soft and curvy, with almost doll-like features. Though pretty enough, she's not exactly the kind of great beauty they write songs about.

Personality
A little shy and awkward but nonetheless cheerful, Risa has a rather friendly and open personality. She's slow to anger, but she will hold a grudge for years.

Having spent her whole life in the city, she is additionally a little helpless outside of her "native environment", though she certainly tries her best to adapt (often with very little success).

Magic/Abilities
Risa is an earth mage with a particular connection to precious stones and metal. She also has a magnificent green thumb, but doesn't realize that may be an extension of her magic. Of course, her magic is almost entirely unconscious--she isn't trained, and doesn't use it with any real intention in an effort to match the expectations of her family and community.

Relationships
Her parents, Yui and Kenta Serrin; and her younger brother, Ori. The rest of her family has the more stereotypical, wheat-blonde hair of the Thanati populace, but Risa is so nearly a carbon-copy of her mother in almost all other regards that it's a small inside-family-joke that she is, in fact, some sort of changeling spirit.

History
She has one...and it's all pretty boring. She somehow wound up working with her father crafting jewelry.

Perhaps the most interesting anecdote from Risa's history actually occurred before she was born. While her mother was pregnant, she went walking as a gentle way of getting fresh air. In the trees just behind the city limits of Suna, near the grand temple, she came across an injured rabbit who seemed to have escaped an encounter with a larger animal, but was severely wounded. Feeling sorry for the creature, she brought it home and cared for it until it was strong enough to be released back into the wild.

The night she let it go, she had a strange and vivid dream: the rabbit came to her and spoke, asking what she would like in return for her kindness. Though she initially demurred any form of reward, when the rabbit pressed she said simply that she wished her child would be exceptional in their lands—of course she wanted her baby to be happy and healthy above all, but if the strange dream-rabbit was asking...

The rabbit accepted her request, and vanished.

When Yui woke from the dream, she shared it with her husband and both found it amusing, but secretly wondered if it might mean something special for their firstborn.

Though Risa was told the tale as a bedtime story growing up, she hasn't exactly shown herself to be "exceptional" just yet...
