Born to first-generation nobles, she had access to tutors and education afforded to those with status, without her parents confronting many of the expectations or pitfalls of their betters. Riza was found to be a quick study, with a sharp wit and a tendency to find trouble, though never enough trouble to warrant major repercussions. When she showed an aptitude for magic, her parents were ecstatic; magic wasn’t necessarily uncommon, but if one was powerful in it, they could enjoy advancement and security in the court. [break][break] Upon completing her basic education in her late teens, Riza was assigned a patron in the court, a lesser courtier. They both knew the relationship was temporary, and that Riza was eventually meant to advance out of the partnership, but the two became friends. The elder Twili recognised in her a burning ambition and ego, and stoked those fires. He taught her the more… subversive elements of illusion magic, how to increase one’s charisma and nudge people toward her way of thinking, how to disguise herself mask her voice to eavesdrop in places she shouldn’t be. He also introduced her to other members of the court, and she found that she quite enjoyed the diplomatic games they played. While her patron expected her to surpass him someday, he also wanted her to feel indebted to his kindness, so that she would help him out in turn. But Riza’s experience of court life lasted only a couple of years before intrigue and politics were the least dangerous thing around. [break][break] Shortly after Zant’s forces swept into the castle and usurped Midna, his soldiers began apprehending nobles that had been in the court for too long, those he considered “Midna-Loyalists.” Even as the Twilight Princess built a coalition in the realm of light, Zant decapitated what she’d built back at home. Riza’s patron was one of those executed. She was rounded up at the same time as him, and would never forget the sound of the knock at her door, the faces of Zant’s “royal guard” leering down at her, the inquisitor she sat across from and his demeaning words, his scorn. Still, the girl was fortunate in that her tenure in court was deemed of an acceptable length. She was asked a series of questions, forced to loudly denounced Midna and her former patron in front of the Usurper King, and then allowed to return to work. It wasn’t long before she was assigned a new position working for the Royal Court Mage, a Zant-placed crony. Riza filed paperwork for him, scheduled meetings, took dictation, and cried herself to sleep out of pure fear every night. She didn’t hate Midna, she actually quite liked her. The time she spent under Zant’s rule permanently scarred her, not so much the fear of the man himself but more what she was forced to do just to survive. Her patron’s screams as he was dragged away, his pleading tone asking her to tell the inquisitors that he was innocent. Her heart broke in that time, and never really fixed itself. [break][break] And then it was over. Midna and her Hero of Light battled Zant and the demon that had given him his power, killing them both. She swept back into the capital and took up her throne once more, and Riza felt… empty. She was emotionally and mentally exhausted, too tired to even feel relief at the danger having passed. She found it was good to work through the trauma, helping Midna readjust to court life and helping resettle things. In return for her assistance, she was given an apprenticeship under the new Royal Court Mage, a lovely old man who treated her like a person and helped her hone her magical ability. The next 200 years were stable, wonderful for her self-esteem and career. She got to know the other nobles, raised the prestige of her own house through her research and hard work, and was being groomed to eventually replace the old man who had taught her so much. She found it difficult to relax, though. It was hard to connect with people again when in her worst nightmares they were dragged to the guillotine. It was hard to trust them when a voice in her head told her everything they said was a lie. [break][break] What little faith Riza had in things working out ended with the rise of the cultists. A bubbling anxiety began to rise in her gut again as she sat in on meetings with the Court Mage, meetings where he was informed of more guards found dead, or large demonstrations of those who would imitate Zant. Her breath would catch when someone in the court made a move she wasn’t anticipating, and quick movements threatened to stop her heart. Riza, of course, wasn’t the only courtier who had been around before, and she had been seeing others ducking into private rooms to ride out anxiety episodes just the same as they no doubt had been seeing her. Her already troubled sleep only got worse after Midna’s official proclamation regarding the cultists. Deranged, bloodthirsty, wanting to follow in the footsteps of Zant. Eventually, the fear began to affect her work. Her mentor was understanding and offered her some time off, so she could get away from the castle until this all blew over. The news was getting better, he told her. The attacks were getting less severe and less frequent, and the castle was as secure as it had ever been. She declined, much to her later regret, but believed him. He was correct, of course; the stories were getting better and the feeling of anxiety that hung over the court began to dissipate. [break][break] The knock at her door was the same as the one 200 years earlier. The exact same. Even though she had no way of knowing what it was, the blood froze in her veins when she heard it. Her stomach dropped and heart threatened to leave her when she opened the door to see the same masks Zant had worn, tears leaping to her eyes. She hadn’t heard the struggle as Midna had fled, nor any sounds of fighting from her wing of the palace. But she was led to another tribunal, though fortunately was spared facing the new Usurper King, and forced to denounce everyone around her once again. To her reckoning, Pem wasn’t as chaotically violent as Zant, and while she was released from her position, Riza was instructed to remain on the palace grounds, under the eyes of the guard. She was expected to do work during this time, though it was more prison labour than that to which she had been accustomed. Outside of meetings strictly related to her assigned work, she was isolated. She had two options, to kill herself or to defect, find Midna, and help restore her to the throne. Given that she could always just do the former if she failed the latter, she saw no issue with giving it a try. [break][break] If anything, it was surprisingly easy to slip out. Pem’s guards were dutiful and wary, but she had been working diligently and, upon request, cleared to visit her family for a day. Her parents lived on the opposite end of the city, still in that smaller estate that kept them from the prying eyes of thieves and anti-establishment radicals. Once she was out of the lines of sight of the guards and the Sols, she pulled a small cloth out of her cloak and unwrapped it, revealing a small mirror shard. It had taken all of her remaining fortune, cashing in every favour she was owed, and no small amount of luck for the snippets of conversations and slipped notes to avoid the guards, but she had been able to get a small shard of a magic mirror. An amusement bubbled inside her, a cynical humour that had manifested and been nurtured under Zant’s government. Her life’s work, everything she’d done, amounted to a small trinket that wouldn’t even last the trip. Understanding that her life rode on success, she steeled herself, released a breath, and travelled to the world of light. [break][break] It took several days to adjust to this new land. She’d emerged in Castle Town, a name she had read in a book once but of which she had no further knowledge. The light realm was an exact antithesis to the environment in which she had learned to cast magic -and, well, live- and merely existing within it weakened her. She was still able to disguise herself, but any other spell she’d learned during her apprenticeship was too much for her. Fortunately the city was less busy at night, and she could disappear in the shadows, allowing her to to steal some clothing to cover her hands and skin, and also to blend in with the natives to this realm. All that remained visible was her face, allowing her to limit her magic use to a minor glamour darkening her skin and allowing her to pass as a Sheikah, the closest light realm inhabitants to her race. It was a relief, once her disguise had been completed, to avoid the glares of the people around her- despite having all of their needs so easily fulfilled, the denizens of this realm seemed wary and suspicious around her, almost rude. In escaping their close attention, she was at least able to begin searching in earnest.

[attr="class","Vappmiscbox"] [attr="class","Vappmischdr"] [attr="class","Vinfoion"][attr="class","ion-wand"] inventory [attr="class","Vappitem"] [attr="class","Vappitemstext"] SPELL OR ITEM NAME: Intermediate Illusion - Being practised with illusion magic, Riza is capable of instantly manifesting a glamour or magical disguise, and maintaining it for some time. If she’s doing something basic, like changing the skin tone on her face to blend into the Light Realm, she can maintain the disguise for up to twelve hours before needing to rest. If it’s something more intensive, like appearing to be another race entirely and masking her voice, she can only hold the illusion for up to one hour before needing to rest. This time limit is based on stress as well; she must maintain at least some concentration on her appearance. If she is in battle or in a particularly stressful or dangerous situation, her ability to maintain a disguise will shorten to a matter of minutes. [break][break] RACIAL ABILITY: + Shroud: Twili have the ability to become one with the shadows around them, making them masters of stealth. They can hide in a shadow of any size while they are in the Realm of Light. [break][break] - Weak to Light: Twili are vulnerable to light based attacks and sunlight, taking extra damage from those kinds of magic. [break][break] OTHER: A wand gifted to her by her mentor, the Court Mage to Midna. It is made of dark wood, with blackstone at the edges encircling white, roughly-cut crystals. Wrought, gold-plated metal winds around the length of the wand, clasping the stone at each end just below the crystal setting. When she is using the wand as a focus for her magical abilities, the crystal at the top will emit a faint glow.
