Reya Tiderunner

Reya Tiderunner is a Deep Merfolk. She currently resides in Fornost, the capital city of the Kingdom of Aurora. As of writing this article, they are training to be a full member of the Order of Aurora, a militaristic group that operates mostly as armed charity workers or skilled diplomats.

Early Life
Reya was raised by her adopted father, Sirius Tiderunner. They lived in a small hut in an underwater village of no renown, deep under the rolling waves above. Sirius supported their small family by making tools, weapons, and other miscellaneous metallic objects for the people of the village who needed it. Reya eventually took interest in this, and started to join in her father's trade, helping out as much as she could in the workshop, before eventually learning how to make her own tools and weapons.

However, peace would not last forever. The threat of war and invasion eventually came to the sea, causing Reya to flee in the midst of battle, whilst her father stayed and fought to cover the escapees along with several other villagers. Guilt overcame Reya for years, as she has never seen her father since. She lived with regret and doubt, barely scraping by as time went on.

Personal Life in the Present Day
After fleeing, Reya washed upon the shore of Haven, in South-Western Rathnir. After getting her bearings, and examining the local landscape, she eventually found that she was near the city of Fornost, and sought to find some help there. Eventually, she ended up taking up permanent residence there, after developing an interest in the customs and practices of the land-dwellers.

She spent her time writing about the new things she experienced, as the big city's complexity and liveliness paled in comparison to her small underwater abode. Reya heard about the Order of Aurora one day, and decided to join it in hopes of redeeming herself.

When Reya is not training to become a full member of the order, she practices medicine, with Hazel McSpiegel.
