Biography

Rydia . She/They . Scavenger
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

THE PAST
She was born in the Snowsquall Tundra, a relatively peaceful and survivable region of the Southern Icefields, and yet it always seemed that finding enough of anything was a constant challenge. She credits this early exposure to tough living with her ability to scavenge anything from anyplace. As an older dragonet, her family began to sell warm furs and handcrafted tapestries & baubles at the Trading Post, and from this, she learned how to negotiate, to recognize a bargain, and how to haggle with merchants.

Yet she knew that eking out a living on the tundra wasn't the life she was destined for... Surely there had to be more to life than this! So, with tears in her eyes, she set out from home to explore the rest of Sornieth, hoping to make her fortune and, perhaps, a better life for her family one day.

Unfortunately, for all her bright dreams, Rydia was met with hardship at every turn. She passed through the realms as a nomad and at times, a beggar. Through the domains of Earth, Arcane, Plague, Water, Light, Lightning, and Shadow, she roamed. Each time, she found she could only do the one thing she wished to stop: eking out a living as a scavenger. She tried to keep her hopes high and her spirits light, but as time passed, she struggled more and more.

Finally, she returned to the Shifting Expanse, to the gleaming electrified cities and the harsh, unforgiving deserts... If she were being honest with herself, she expected to go there to die. But as so often happens, she found herself encountering something she did not intend...

"Excuse me?" the timid voice said.

She turned slightly to face the Wildclaw who was standing a few feet behind her. He was clearly a few years her younger, though he seemed to have the wisdom of age behind his eyes. "Yes?"

He cleared his throat. "You dropped your satchel."

"Oh... Thank you."

He shuffled beside her, hesitant. "Do you live here? Or are you a visitor like me?"

She smiled sadly. "Both, and neither. I'm a wanderer. Why would you come to visit here? There's nothing but cables and wires..."

The Wildclaw brightened. "There's so much more than that! There are scientific laboratories and observatories, and some really marvelous work being done in the field of engineering. Well, and I have a lot of friends here as well. That's why I'm really here, honestly. I promised to come back and share my research notes."

"What do you study?"

The Wildclaw lit up, and from there was sparked a beautiful friendship.

THE PRESENT
Though it was difficult for her to believe, Rydia fell fast and hard for the mild-mannered astronomer. His eagerness and optimism reminded her of what she had lost - and gave her fresh hope that she could rebuild her life. But that changed when Starfall told her that he was going to return home.

"I suppose this is goodbye," Rydia whispered.
"It doesn't have to be. Come with me!"
"What?"
"To the Moonrise Mountain! In Wispwillow Grove! You'll be welcomed with open arms. I promise you! There are all kinds of dragons there. And Wildclaws, just like us. And - well, and there's me. Please... Come with me!"

Rydia shook her head slowly, tears running down her face. "I can't."
Starfall staggered backwards a step, heartbroken. "But why not?"
"I don't - I'm not - ... Starfall. You're... You're kind. And loving. And you have the whole world ahead of you. I... I don't."

Starfall contemplated her words for a long moment. He shifted on his feet and rubbed his talons together nervously. Finally, he sighed and lifted his head to look into her eyes. "I know how I'm going to die."
Rydia's eyes widened. "What?" Surely he couldn't have been serious...
But Starfall nodded. "I've always known. My family, um... We're seers. All of us. I can see things... Terrible things. But the terrible things don't make me stop wanting the good things... I just appreciate them more. No matter how much or how little life there is ahead of us, we can always make the most of what we have. Always."

Rydia gasped softly, feeling as if suddenly she could breathe again after holding her breath for a very long time. She felt...free. Unburdened. Hopeful. "Then... Let's go home," she replied with an uncharacteristic timidity.

Starfall clasped her talons in his, and together, they made the journey back to Wispwillow Grove, to rest and to watch the skies of the land of Shadow.

Rydia


𝕾𝖊𝖆𝖘𝖔𝖓𝖊𝖉 𝕾𝖈𝖆𝖛𝖊𝖓𝖌𝖊𝖗

(Seasoned Scavenger)

Despite her hooded figure, she's rather amiable; a humble energetic adventurer and fair merchant, Rydia quickly became a familiar face in the clan's market. Her skills and experience in the field landed her a spot as a clan guard, and as a favorite storyteller among the hatchlings.

She particularly enjoys small animals, often seen watching birds flutter about or catching bugs to observe before releasing them. They have no patience for those who disrespect animals or their friends.
