[b]Magical abilities:[/b] N/A [b]Personality:[/b] Riya is a normally quiet girl, though she can be friendly and sometimes outright silly.

When she was old enough she left town and began to travel, becoming a bard. It was not till a couples months after she became a bard that she entered the assassin business. As it turns out, bards don't normally get paid that well, unless they are a very famous and renowned one. So many of them take side jobs, some as thieves, some as assassins, which is the side job Riya embarked upon. At the start she had qualms about killing another human, but quickly realized that many of her targets were bad people, very few were innocent, those that were she avoided taking contracts to kill. After some time she made a name for herself, under an alias, Nightbird, making a good amount of coin.
