Rhiannon would be reluctant to admit that the past had a firm grip on her present - being one to promote the 'living in the now and looking to the future' outlook on life, it was terribly embarrassing. And being far more prideful than she ever let on, she often pretended as if nothing bothered her. She was resilient, independent, and didn't NEED anyone - right?
"I'm trying," she told Skadi, "it may not look like it, but I am trying." She had a lot of hang-ups, especially in regards to family. 'Blood' family in particular. She sighed. "I'm here, aren't I? I know that doesn't seem like much but for me, it's a huge step." She was there, wearing her father's gifts, attending family dinners. Socializing, being pleasant (more or less), and learning about Alfheim.
