PERSONALITY ​

Rhaenys is a warrior, with a far dangerous weakness than any of her kin. She was born to a family of proud Mando'ade, a clan that had returned to Mandalore only short decades prior to hr birth. Though she had only known life on her home planet, she was raised to honor the old traditions and believe. Though a woman, she is a fighter first, a ruthless one at that. Even as a young child, she couldn't control it, making her first kill her own older brother when they were still young. Her punishment had been severe but her belief that she was to be her father's eldest was such cause to pride that what she had done always remained a high point of her early childhood. Rhaenys loves her family, and is devoted to the point where she will have no mercy in protecting them and yet in the case of hr brother, she had witnessed him as competition to her path to glory in Buir's eyes even though she he himself had never given her cause to believe she was any less proud of her than h was of Maran.

She is strong and capable with a number of different weapons, fighting side by side other man and never thinking herself weaker because of her gender. In fact, her gender had not become an issue until her first husband who wanted a wife, not a fellow warrior to live his life with. She wasn't even twenty at the time but it was the first time she came to see she could be a woman without losing who she was as a warrior. Rhaenys is dangerous and has become far more dangerous since the birth of her second son (her first son was weak and crippled at birth and was thus put out of his misery just hours before he was born) but her love for her children, and for no one more than Rhaegan. With his arrival, she had devoted herself to creating a fierce warrior worthy of their clan and of Mando'ade, one that would grow strong and join the Death Watch same as she had, and all her vod.

Rhaenys speaks when necessary and no more than that. She doesn't raise her voice other than in battle. The damage given to her tongue, her severe punishment for taking her brother's life, had healed long ago but it had taught her that talking isn't always necessary. Sometimes, one has to listen and observe, study your friend same as your enemy. This lesson had guided her throughout her life, made her into the woman she is. Perhaps, it had even made her more dangerous because Rhaenys rarely speaks her mind and it is often in very particular situations. Probably the ones she has spoken most are her vod, whether of blood or adoption. They know her better than almost anyone in this world.

Her devotion to her clan is infinite, rivaled only by her love for her son. Rhaenys lives her life with a sword in her hand and plans on dying on the battlefield some day.

STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES:
(+) Strong: Rhaenys was trained to fight from a young age.
(+) Devoted: When it comes to her family and clan, she will stop at nothing.
(+) Skilled warrior: As part of her training, Rhaenys was taught to use various weapons that are considered primitive but are meant to insure her ability to fight close combat. She's also been taught to use modern weapons and has solid aim.
(+) Always armed: Rhaenys almost never goes anywhere without at least one weapon, if nothing then at least a small dagger.
(+) Blacksmith: Not not an expert in the field, Rhaenys loves working with metal and creating weapons, even if it's more often than not helped by their clan blacksmith.
(+) Student of mechanics: She's definitely more for ancient ways but understands the necessity of the time, because of which she will never stray from learning how to build and fix or get grease on her fair skin.
(+) Mother: The rise in her humanity was given with the birth of her true first born, her Rhaegan. He is a warrior, and pride of his clan. Though he's capable and strong, she would still protect him and gut anyone who would hurt, or even worse kill him.
(+/-) Ruthless: For all the strength Rhaenys possesses, it's countered by a ruthlessness that is both a strength and a weakness. It gives her the power not to hesitate but to strike at her enemies without remorse. In the same way, it creates a hollow inside her heart, allowing her to detach and seek impersonal means and goals to achieve. That very ruthlessness emerged from the day she had been born and it first manifested itself on the day she had murdered her older brother, all because she refused to be second born to her father.
(+/-) Remorseless: She understands the necessity of death and murder, she will take a life with ease. If she could cut the throat of her own blood, then gutting a stranger comes far easier. In many ways, this has served her well in becoming the warrior that she is but at the same time, it can detach from those she loves.
(-) Injured: Because it quickly became obvious what she had done, Rhaenys had been punished by her father, her tongue had been cut, resulting in a long scar.
(-) Silent: The injury caused as punishment for her action resulted Rhaenys to become quiet as a child, in the beginning in order to avoid causing herself pain but in time, it had become a habit.The injury no longer hurts but it had taught her the value of listening, though it had not taught her to be less ruthless.

PHYSICAL APPEARANCE​

Blue eyes and golden pale hair, Rhaerys came into this world looking too much like her mother and nothing like her father. Her Sorrusian blood and warrior nature betrayed her relation to him early on, her adult height close to that of a full blood Sorrusian. Rhae was born loud and strong even as an infant and regarded without little care for gender throughout her growing up. The fact that she was a girl wouldn't matter on the battlefield so it did not matter in her training either.

Though her long hair can easily allow her to slip into a dress and be more like her gender may dictate to the outsiders, she is a warrior first, and a woman second, always preferring the comfort of a battle armor and her weapons than dress up. At least it did always until her first husband wanted a woman at his side and not a fighter. He respected her for what he was with a sword in her hand but, with him, Rhae learned she could also be feminine.

Though her body is filled with scars and healed cuts, all of it had left fading marks that can often be hid beneath her clothes. Deepest and most painful scars is inside her mouth, leading from the top and almost all the way through. When Khaliah cut through it, he had cut deep, that the healing process took longer than with any other mark on her body. On different parts of her body, Rhaenys had tattoos spread in different places of her body. Each tattoo represents a pride, an accomplishment, meant to remind her of her past but she doesn't brag about it or show any of them too often.

TATTOOS:

• ( Dha Werda Verda ) marks the right side of her lower back.
• ( Kote, darasuum kote. Te racin ka'ra juaan kote. ) is written with black ink at her left lower arm, on the inside.
• Symbol of Mando'ade rests on back of her neck though her hair generally covers it.
• Symbol of the Death Watch rests just under her left collarbone.
• ( Namadi ) is written on her inside left wrist.
• ( Rheagan ) is written on her inside right wrist.

HISTORY​

Rhaenys was born the second child of Khaliah, mothered by Mara the Unbroken, one of his "war wives". She was second only to his first born, who had fittingly been called Maran. The age difference between the two wasn't much, despite the belief that eight years should pass after the birth of a firstborn son. Perhaps, it would have been best if a second child was not brought into the world so quickly. Among her people, gender was of little consequence and she was quickly taught her first lessons when she had began to move. She had been only three when she'd attempted to move Father's sword and failed miserably with the lac of of strength. This lesson quickly taught Rhaenys that though she was told she would be a warrior like her brother, she was not strong enough yet. At the same time, she could not recall when she first began to resent Maran for being the first born child of their Father. It had been a knowledge she had grown up with. At the same time, her Mother gave birth to her sister Buurenaar though she welcomed a sister, she was not before her.

By time Father's true wife Sidik had given birth to Dagon, both Maran and Rhaenys had been heavily committed into their training, growing stronger along side other children of their clan. The sight of a second boy had made something turn in her. For Father now had a boy if he so desired, and that of his true wife, he did not need Maran any longer. Her mind worked in odd ways, even in then, her ruthlessness forming quietly but steady. It was just days after Dagon had been born that Rhaenys decided, Father could be content with a son but she would be his first born from then on. But because she understood she did not stand a chance in a contest of strength against Maran, her act had been done at night, while everyone was fast asleep. She smothered her older brother where he slept, fighting against him as he struggled, finally cutting his throat before he could overpower her.

The act itself brought little joy to Rhaenys but it brought her a sense of accomplishment as she defeated her first foe. Maran's struggles were however heard and Father was soon alerted to her action, finding her still standing over him in absolutely silence. When he asked her what she had done, she had simply said: I am your first born now. It had angered Khaliah that her punishment was swift. Using the same dagger she had used on Maran, he ordered her to put out her tongue. Rhaenys obeyed and soon he had cut through it. It had been double punishment. The wound was patched up soon after but the harsh wound had been a valuable lesson in its own right. In the months to followed, she continued to train but never spoke, in risk of opening her wound. Khaliah did not talk to her, he did not even look at her until she had defeated a boy from their clan some years later, bringing pride to him and her mothers.

Her lesson had however not fixed her flaw, her ruthlessness increased in the years to come though it served her well in her training and in combat. By the time her teenage years were coming to an end, she had been married. Her first husband was Namadi but not of her blood. Their first child was born with a damaged limb and once again, Rhaenys acted, ending her own newborn baby's life. This time, it had been an act of mercy for a child who could never be the warrior he ought to have been. She was twenty when she gave birth to a healthy boy, named Rhaegan. Her husband died shortly after as a member of the Death Watch. This opted her to reach out, once she had done her motherly duties to her own son and joined the Death Watch. Her son would remain within the clan, trained by capable of warriors though Rhaenys made it her business to keep a close eye on his training, interrupting whenever she deemed necessary.

Five years passed before she had allowed a man to touch her though she had never chosen a second husband for herself. Instead, the Death Watch had given her a purpose, as did her duties within the clan. Rhaenys takes who she with a sense of pride and duty, as she does training younger members of her clan, even if they're not of her blood. One of these affairs have resulted in the birth of her daughter, Khalia. At the same time, the clan began to decay, the changes swept throughout the planet. Her warrior spirit couldn't allow her to fall behind such beliefs for Arasuum was not her fate, so Rhaenys quietly tried to rally her clan against the demise of their ways. Watching her own Buir give into bureaucracy instead of picking up his sword had been the worst to see, she had expected a strength in him she had always believed he had. In the end, it didn't matter, even he had fallen. In the end, she had focused on her children, teaching them the rhymes and training them as she had been trained. If she could only save two from the fate that had struck through Namadi, then so be it. In the darkest of those time, called for Kad Ha'rangir to battle its nemesis, just as Buir had told when she had been a child. She had hope in his return, in the battle that would destroy the pacifistic ways, the sloth that wasn't the least bit fitting of their warrior race. She had belief he would come, and it would bring the change meant. That belief had kept her going, kept her training her two children in the same ways she and all her vod had been raised.

As the flames began, Rhaenys had believed it was what had been brought onto them because of what they had decayed into. Like wildfire that had spread, the screams echoing its speed. For a time, Rhaenys couldn't find Rhaegan, while Khalia remained at her side as she searched. They had found him only when the fire had subdued and the ashes flew across. Her firstborn lived, but he had burned marks on his hands which could be healed. Rheagan had seen her Buir, he had tried to help him but the fire had spread, making it impossible. Khaliah too had perished into the flames. One by one, the vods returned to their three mothers for they were now their elders. Rhaenys stood beside them, despite the decay of their world, their mothers remained strong each in her own right and way. Crippled in numbers, the clan Namadi survived.

Now, the title of the first born wasn't just a thing of pride, it was a necessity. Rhaenys worked hard, followed her vod, raided and rebuilt with them, ensuring their clan survived throughout the hard times. And when their Sole leader returned, Rhaenys answered the call and returned to the Death Watch, knowing full well her clan would be safe in the hands of their mothers, and with Rheagan mature enough to be a man and be of use. Soon, the warrior promised herself that day, we will have our glory once more.
