Ryzela Anastasa

The Birth of Ryzela
Ryzela was born to Aranea Branyeno and Layenor Anastasa on the isle of Tortuga, Republic of Kush. Living on a cramped little mushroom island, she became very interested in cooking mushrooms, always leaving her home to collect some for her mother to cook and add to her soups and dishes. She lived a happy, calm life, and was content with the way things were.

The Early Days of Life
In her early years, Ryzela helped her mother with cheesemaking and cooking, whilst helping her father with brewing and smithing, She worked hard, and gained great skills during this time. When she turned 17, she took up dueling lessons with a legendary pirate that came to visit, and learned alot of things from him. On her 19th birthday, after partying on her friend's boat, she walked through town, and found her father being burned at the stake, but her mother was nowhere in sight. As her father burned, the crowd turned towards her, and began to run after her, causing her to flee in response. She took up refuge on the pirate's ship, and would sail with them until her unexpected change of plans.

The Voyage
As she traveled across the seas of Rathnir, she saw many places and many people. Eventually it dawned on her that it would be nice to keep a journal of her travels. And so she did. She wrote down each and every thing in her journal that she found interesting. Writing down a bunch of info from a Coltmaeran citizen about the underground city that rebelled from them. After taking a few drinks from Coltmaere, she boarded the ship, and set sail further north. Along the coastline of Bardonia, on a stormy night, a drunken Ryzela stumbled into the Pirate daughter's chambers. She spent the night with the daughter, and eventually the daughter's father walked in. After a tense standoff, Ryzela was thrown off ship and marooned on the coastline of Bardonia. Faced with nothing but The Shack infront of her, which was east of Bardonia City, she looked inside and grabbed some supplies placed by travelers, before heading west. She made it to the town of Bardonia City, and admired it's walls for a few minutes before heading inside. It seemed like a ghost town to her. Despite this, she traded the supplies for some food and clothing, and went on her way again.

She made it her goal to make it to Alda. After all, she heard that was a haven for refugees. It took multiple months, but on the way, she had a strange encounter. As she was harassed by the birds of the night known as Phantoms, she took cover in old Bardonian ruins and tried to fight them off. However, it was of little use. Just as a phantom swooped in to attack her, it was knocked out of the sky by a powerful arrow. She looked over into one of the towers and spotted a man with a ghostly appearance. She watched the man pick the phantoms out of the air one by one, before disappearing. She was amazed, but had no time to dig further into this. She nicknamed the man the Phantom Purger, and on her travels, started to make small offerings to the man. After that incident, the sky was clear of phantoms for her, and her travel to Alda was left mostly uninterrupted.

The Arrival to Alda
After multiple long months of travelling, Ryzela finally made it to Alda. She loved the town of Haleos and admired it for it's simple, yet beautiful design. She decided to stay after being given an offer of citizenship from Uneasy Duskworn. It took only two days to get herself a home and unpack her things. Her first few days were chaotic. She had met a man by the name of Cabbage Saxon that threatened to kill her, and made good friends with Emilia and a few other Aldans.

Life in Alda
She found interest in cheese making and brewing not long after her arrival, and it only took a month or two until the man who had threatened her when she first arrived to ask to marry her. She agreed, mainly cause she had nothing better to do, and was just a tad bit afraid of him. She contacted the woman who built her house on tips of how to prepare weddings, and this woman was Helena Amakiir. Helena accepted her plea for help, and gave her some tips on what to wear, how to properly act, etc.. The day of the wedding came, and Ryzela walked slowly up the steps to Haleos Castle to marry Cabbage Saxon. She met him up the hill with a smile, and entered the Castle. Walking down the main aisle, they stopped right before the priest, and said what they had to. It was a long night in Kala after that. With loads of drinks, partying, and fishing. Ryzela only remembered the partying due to how drunk she had gotten. After that, she went back to her home, and started work on renovations.
