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!

I would LOVE for Sabrina to have been a customer of Reha's in Minrathous. Back home, Reha would've definitely been friendly towards customers like Sabrina but not exactly friends with them, since she had her family and dwarf community to lean on. But now that she is in Cumberland, Reha would be very keen to latch on to a familiar face and foster a closer, more genuine friendship given the chance-- if you're down for that?

Asmund probably won't know Reha's reasons for leaving home right away (unless Luren tells him, in which case Reha would be a very unhappy camper) but the whole marriage avoidance thing is definitely common ground they could bond over (if Reha got over herself enough to share it). In the meantime though, Reha wants to hear literally everything about Ozarmmar!!! Asmund should brace himself for NON-STOP questions about every last detail. (Apologies if this opens old wounds for him. Reha is too excited to talk to somebody from Ozarmmar firsthand to remember to be sensitive.)

And Reha would very much like Pilar to be a customer. Reha promises she only deals in the very best, well-made fabrics (a Melra family value instilled in her very young). And although Reha definitely favors flashier fashion for herself, she has a lot of respect for beautiful women who can rock the classic elegance. (And, of course, if she gets to know Pilar beyond the initial 'now there is a classy customer' snap judgment, Reha would really appreciate someone of Pilar's standing as a customer).

Yes yes yesssss. Hee hee, and she was making A LOT OF CLOTHES in anticipation of this trip. So she would have been there a lot in the last couple months. And yeah, Sabrina is more of an introvert by nature, extrovert by... profession. So familiarity with is a good starting point. But she definitely will need more friends here, more real friends. Sabrina will not, uh, be lasting the entire game, but that just means we should move on their friendship sooner than later.

Asmund hopes Luren respects the girl's privacy, but you know, however that goes. Oh stone, that's a complicated feeling. Asmund absolutely LOVED Orzammar and everything about it (with especially lots of <333 for the proving grounds), so like yes he will tell her stories. But then there's the heartbreak of being tricked into exile to save his bff's life and all. So... a mix.

Pilar has presence without drawing attention to herself. You know, the dead don't really notice what you wear when dealing with them~~~ And she's an advisor to the king, so not trying to be in the spotlight. But yes, she is great to have as a customer ;)

	She is both precious and angry, tho probably a lot less precious in some characters' opinions by the end XDDD There are so many things she doesn't even know her own wants and feels on. :D:D:D:DDDD She'll need someone relatively apolitical she can girl gossip about. She brought someone home from the ball >> (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The baaaaaaaaaall, and you totally missed it. The dancing was the ~~~~best. Clearly they need to start chatting over the network bc Sabrina toooootally snagged the hottest person in game by her aesthetics. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Reha will congratulate Sabrina on her sound victory in the hot people snagging department. But c'mon, Sabrina, what did you weaaaar? What did your hottie wear? WHAT DID LITERALLY EVERYONE WEAR? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It is one of the best departments. Clearly, for Reha, just below the what people were wearing department. And don't worry, Sabrina has a wonderful memory. Aaaaaand sadly since Reha is a dwarf, they cannot do the whole dreamwalking thing to show her~~~~ (Reply to this) (Parent)
