Rhea Quinsley

'' "Well... don't take whatever amount of time you have left for granted... if you really want to, you can set the world on fire and leave a massive legacy that'll grant you the true immortality of being remembered forever..." ''

Rhea Quinsley is an Etherian bounty huntress well-known for bringing bad luck wherever she goes thanks to her uncontrollable Spirit Incarnation. Initially having only survived in Valorna by means of thievery and murder, she eventually found her way to the Ether and was trained to become a formidable opponent. Years later, she meets Qrow Branwen at random and starts a romantic relationship with him, which helps her overcome problems like self-loathing, self-distrust/self-fear, and self-blame.

Character Type/Status
 Character type: OC 

 Status: Alive 

Personality
Up until her encounter with Qrow, Rhea had been a self-loathing woman who always put the blame on herself for anything that happened while she was present, even though she wasn't intending to cause those things. She would constantly question the purpose of her existence, and ultimately resorted to drinking to numb her pain. However, once she met Qrow, her attitude began changing for the better, as she started to become less pessimistic as she saw that she wasn't alone.

Her current personality is level-headed, strategic, and kind. She's able to keep her cool in most situations, think of plans, and is willing to help others in any way possible. She holds some of the same ideologies as other Etherians, such as forgiving those who are truly remorseful, and that killing should be saved as a last resort. She also gains inspiration easily, as seen when she asked Qrow to help her design Rubrum Mortem, which functions similar to Harbinger.

Despite normally being level-headed and calm, she can quickly lose her temper in specific situations, especially those involving figures like Sharron, who had physically, mentally, and emotionally abused her upon learning about her half-human status. She is also very vengeful towards Sharron, and, in a fight, will stop at nothing trying to deliver retribution.

Appearance
Rhea has short blonde hair, amber eyes, a slim athletic build (though she occasionally appears with a more malnourished-looking build), and a Caucasian skin tone. She has a scar on the base of her neck, and several purple, crimson, and black crystal rosettes scattered all over her skin due to having suffered from the Bloodshard Curse, which she usually keeps hidden for unknown reasons. After undergoing her mortal transcendence, she gains two dragon horns, both decorated with gold chains, the left one having one chain with a red onyx crescent moon attached to the end, the other having a black onyx rose attached between two chains. She also keeps her horns concealed on a normal basis. Her current outfit consists of a purple shirt with a crimson bolero, a golden belt with black buckles, brown pants, cream-colored boots with dark grey buckles, and a grey-to-black skirt that lies around the top of her hips and ends at the tops of her ankles in the back, and at the top of the sides her knees in the front. The skirt doesn't fully cover the front of her legs. She is currently 36 years old.

After becoming a demigoddess, her right iris becomes dark violet in color, and her left iris becomes scarlet.

During The Eternal Record, she develops partial heterochromia in the form of seafoam green cresents taking up part of both irises, due to her transformation into a half-Wraith.

Backstory
Having grown up in Valorna, she had to hide her status because she started off half-human. Eventually, her parents' deaths would be faked by Amista, causing her to fall under the care of foster parents who neglected and abused her. She ran off because of this and started living the life of a criminal in order to even survive, honing her combat and survival skills at just 13 years old. However, this wouldn't last long, as she would soon be able to escape to the Ether. When she first interacted with Kaneki, the lead bounty huntress in the Ether, she thought she would be arrested, but instead was offered the opportunity to become a bounty huntress in her own right, which she accepted after giving it some thought. From there, she would grow to be a strong fighter, but a pessimistic one. Growing resentful and afraid of herself, she became a drunkard in an attempt to find some way to ease her pain. One evening, while running away from something in Gaia, she ran across a man named Qrow Branwen, who, unbeknownst to her, would provide her with help that she needed. He offered to take her to a bar, and after both got very, very drunk, Qrow kissed her - something that she managed to remember and told him about the next day. From that point on, Rhea's attitude improved, and she became more hopeful about her future.

"I-I didn't do anything wrong in your eyes..?" (During her first interaction with Kaneki)

"If you had seen me a few years ago, you probably wouldn't have even known what I was supposed to be." (During her first interaction with Qrow)

"Exactly...during my early childhood, misfortune...kept finding its way into my life...it started when I was five, when my parents were killed... I ended up being taken into a foster home, but the time I spent there was a time of neglect and abuse...my foster father had an addiction to gambling, and my foster mother paid no mind to me...so after eight years...I ended up fleeing, and without any other options available due to the fact that I'm half-human...I had to start living the life of a thief and assassin."

"I dunno, I guess that I got it from fighting alongside you and seeing your own weapon...personally, before meeting you, I had never really seen weapons that can shift to different forms mechanically." (During the conversation with Qrow about upgrading her setup)

"I think that we should definitely be prepared to get involved if we have to. Even though I've never been up against Eniya nor that servant of hers face-to-face before, I've been able to feel how much power both hold...and it's certainly something that one person alone can't handle." (During the time that Eniya was becoming a prominent threat again)

Trivia

 * Rhea's first official concept originated from a Roblox game called Kingdom of Hreinngar. Her backstory of having to steal (and kill) to survive was set in stone, but her having been a Valornian native didn't exist at the time since Prism hadn't come up with the idea for the Valornians yet.
 * Before becoming an official OC, Rhea's character was initially supposed to be a cat youkai named Keida. However, this idea was eventually changed and used for another character with the same name.
 * In The Eternal Record, Rhea was the first known person to become a half-Wraith.
