Personality: Rea is quite an opposite of what many expect a Guardian would be, she is quiet, shy and reclusive, very awkward at talking to people. She has anxiety and is prone to overthinking, being paranoid and not famous for being confident in herself. However, her heart makes up for it. She is incredibly kind, sweet and generous, eager to offer help to those who need it, physically or emotionally. She has a lot of love to give, to her kingdom, family, friends and subjects, and will often use opportunities to spend time with her loved ones, praise and compliment them to others and watch her people from afar, being happy and healthy. Somewhat ironically to her anxiety disorder, Rea was raised by one of her mothers as a warrior, not necessarily to be one, but to follow their life and beliefs. She was taught the significance of courage and honor, to never kneel before those she deems unworthy, no matter the status or age, and to never back down, to fight for what she believes in and be loyal to those who fight for her as well.
Skills and Abilities:
- Element- Rea's only element is Water on the level of Guardian, perfected to its limit in every detail. The color of her water is normal cyan-ish blue.
- Water Breath- A stream of water summoned from her mouth, it can be a small droplet or a swift, bone-breaking blast, less frequently used as an attack and more so as summoning the water when there is none in the surrounding environment.
- Water Manipulation- An ability to control and shape water to her heart's desires, Rea can rise it to drown/splash someone, stop and part it- even the large areas like the sea-, shape it into tendrils, hands and blades, take it off of a wet person, even multiply it, turning a small droplet into a lake's worth of water. She can also change the density of it to make it far more thick to serve as a good shield or blade.
- Telepathy- Like all creatures affiliated with Water, Rea can project her thoughts onto other people without the need to use her vocal cords. Telepathy works the same as speaking, it can be heard by people in the area depending on her 'volume', which works wonder in physical barriers like underwater but also between walls and the like. Someone can respond telepathically only if they themselves posses the ability though Rea sometimes can 'nudge' them into it, though it's very taxing and not for longer than few words.
- Peak Physical Condition and Grandmaster Combatant- Almost perfect physical condition due to decades of rigorous training and special diet; she is one of the best martial artists amongst Guardians- considered lovingly as the best- able to fight in both close and long ranges, swift and nimble but hiding surprising strength. She has perfected numerous forms of fighting and is perfecting all techniques, evasive, offensive, defensive etc.
- Grandmaster Swordswoman- Rea is experienced with many weapons but is never seen without her twin swords, a rare occasion when she doesn't fight without them, they are like her extended arms and she has perfected fighting with them.
- Genius-level Intellect- Rea is a Monarch heavily educated from early age in manners of military strategy, law enforcement, laws in general, in-depth medicine and others, not to mention developed amazing perception, attention to detail, quick thinking and deduction.
Backstory: Rea was born in Mymis to two mothers, Yesenia and Anychilassa. She led a simple, calm life, dotted on by her parents and exploring the new world. Her mothers did notice she had trouble befriending other children and was generally stressed by social encounters, but they weren't worried. She was young after all, and had all the time to learn to coexist with others. One day, her and Anychilassa were off on the beach, swimming and having fun when Rea unconsciously unlocked her element, using it to propel herself through the water and manipulate the waves, much to Anychilassa's pleasant surprise (she had not said anything, wondering on the extension of the instinct that caused this graceful manipulation). However, they weren't aware they had a spectator. Several days later, Yesenia came home and with ecstasy announced that Liege of Water was interested in Rea being their heiress. Rea was surprised and nervous, but her mother comforted her and told her all the great, honorable things Guardians did, managing to calm her and she did try, to see what It was like. She ended up liking Guardians' loyalty towards their nation and each other, their determination to protect it, so she enrolled In their school and Apprentice program. The Water Guardian, Seirit, ended up choosing her for a permanent Apprentice due to her natural precision with her element and, later on, by the code of honor and martial arts she was taught by Yesenia. Her mothers separated at one point in her childhood due to wildly conflicting opinions on how should they raise Rea, but they remained close by to support their daughter. She even met a man, Irenario- through his son being one of the Apprentices- who she ended up falling in love with and marrying. Rea became a somewhat awkward, but regal, kind and famed Lady, a Monarch most devoted to protecting her people.
Notes:
- Voice Actor: Nicole Oliver youtu.be/7YKOzHmqZbw?t=32s
- She is quite shorter than an average dragoness.
- It's suspected that she might have a bit of raptor blood in her due to her long hind kegs and being able to easily stand on them. She honestly doesn't know and doesn't care too much to find out.
- Yesenia is a diplomat from Eavolan, a warrior kingdom, which is why she taught her daughter the life and skills of a warrior (also as a warrior, she is closely connected to Guardians professionally, which is how she easily found out her daughter was selected as an Apprentice). This is also the reason why her and Anychilassa separated, for the latter had calmer, more pacifist upbringing in mind. Those differences were endearing and exciting in their courtship, but driven them apart when their child began growing
- Despite maybe, technically, being of Eavolanian ethnicity and adopted some of its cultures, Rea never quite felt connected to it and more so to Mymis, which disappointed Yesenia, as it was still her home, home she worked for.
- She doesn't see her mothers that often nowadays, due to Yesenia being a diplomat and Anychilassa a traveler, and their relationships can be tense due to different opinions and rare communication (respectively), though they do love each other and try to chat regularly
- QPPs with Aquila, they trust and love each other like no one else, and you bet Rea is secretly plotting to make polygamous marriages legal in Mymis so she can add Akie onto her spouse pile
- Slowly starting to bond with her stepson, they were awkward around each other for a long time due to their natural discomfort with socializing, but over time they grew to enjoy each other's company and share interests. Ventos even started calling her 'Mom', a gesture that touched her significantly more than she expected and she too grew to dearly care for and protect him.
- She suffers from social anxiety and treats it with time and care. It's better now than we she was younger and she learned to handle it better in some situations, especially business-related
- While she is married, her husband and her don't live together. Rea in her Palace, Irenario in his Mansion, under agreement to most efficiently pursue their goals and careers without difficulties and prejudices of living together. They still talk every day and meet up often, as well as spend several days in each other's home when a convenient situation strikes
