Fresh meat
Hey there, hi there, ho there! New player and character, here. My name is Beth and I'm bringing in Reha Melra, younger sister of everyone's favorite blacksmith, Luren Melra.

A city dwarf from Tevinter, Reha has no kind of martial training whatsoever and is very much a civilian. She is a talented trained tapestry-weaver but since that artform is time consuming and doesn't pay as regularly as she'd like, Reha set up shop as a clothier back home. And upon her arrival, she is looking to do the same in Cumberland. While she is absolutely a shameless self-promoter, Reha won't exactly be advertising her real reasons for leaving home (which is to say, she is lowkey procrastinating the whole 'get married and procreate for The Good of Dwarf Kind' thing out of fear that she might be infertile and therefore fail at something for the first time ever).

You can read more about Reha over at her profile. Beyond Luren, she probably won't have many previous connections but as a new arrival in the city looking to build a business she will absolutely interact with anyone and everyone. So, if you have any desire to throw your characters at her in any way, feel free to let me know. I'm pretty much open to anything and really looking forward to playing here!

Yeah, at the risk of seeming like a total creeper I have been reading things during the whole application process and I already know in my heart of hearts that Reha fully wants to be Narazda when she grows up. I'm super looking forward to interactions there because Reha will definitely be starry-eyed admiring of Narazda's entire deal but she'll also want to impress Narazda enough to one day be considered a peer rather than a protege-- and the sooner, the better.

I also think Reha will deeply enjoy Noëlle-- not just as a potential customer but as a source of inspiration as well. Reha has never been to Orlais but she digs their attitudes about fashion. And she digs pretty much everyone's stories. If Noëlle tells any tales of Orlesian fashion triumphs and misadventures, she'll have a rapt audience and friend in Reha.

And as for Caspian, just give Reha enough time to figure out the Pentaghasts are The Family to know in this city and that Caspian is one of them and she will surely find some connection to ~~exploit~~ foster into a friendship!

This does not make you a creeper, it makes you just like me. OKAY MAYBE IT JUST MEANS WE'RE BOTH CREEPERS????????????????

I mean Narazda's second in command is still some nebulous NPC but she needs soome proteges, so come along Reha, learn from the lady with Big Plans for the guild.

Noe loves telling absurd stories so I think we'll have an easy win there.

Cas would like to point out that his family hates him and pretends he doesn't exist, so knowing him will not get Reha far. XD

DO THE CREEP

Reha looks forward to learning from Greatness. (And listen, if NPC second-in-command isn't working out, Reha may be willing to sabotage them and make a bid for the position herself one day. Just saying.)

Yay for easy wins with Reha and Noe!

And whyyyyy does Cas's family hate him? Reha genuinely wants to know. As a friend. Tell her all your troubles.

	Work hard, reha, and your dreams may come true~ Noe is happy to have a new friend. Excellent. Cas would like to know if you have all day? Because there's a long list of reasons. No, like really, can we just pretend his last name is like Smith. tyvm (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Reha assures Cas she has all night for him... wait, no, she didn't mean it like that. Just. Here. Have another ale and vent away, okay? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yes please not like that, you are a little young for him and you really don't need this hot mess who falls in love on a dime mooning after you, either. Just, wow, disaster waiting to happen right there.......... we'll stick to the ale. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Yeah, no worries on that front. Reha is very much of the 'ain't nobody got TIME for that' with regards to romance. Honestly, she gives the whole romance/love/recreational sex thing in general the side-eye. Ale she believes in. And learning more about the royal family's inner-workings from a disowned relative's drunk venting is a solid information-gathering tactic, as far as she's concerned. (For what it's worth, Reha isn't a total monster and would be genuinely sympathetic... just, yanno, genuinely sympathetic with an agenda, is all.)

	The more you tell me about her, the more she sounds like a mini Noe with some Narazda thrown in. Of course I adore her already (Cas just wants someone to care about his issues, he ain't even mad). (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm really looking forward to her interactions with Noe and Narazda, both. (And Cas too. Reha totally cares about your issues, dude. I mean, ultimately she cares for totally selfish reasons, but it's still caring. That counts, right?) (Reply to this) (Parent)
