[b]Personality: [/b]
[list]
[*]Chipper - cheerful and upbeat about most things.  While perhaps not inspirational she can relieve some gloom with her optimistic attitude.
[*]Personable - while not necessarily a socialite, Rhiannon is someone who has the knack of getting on with others.  This may not be a buddy-buddy type relationship but, at the very least, means that working alongside her is never a problem.
[*]Inoffensive - she goes to great efforts not to step on anyone's toes without being completely passive.  Rather than taking sides she becomes an arbiter, mediating between disputing groups thanks to her apparently empathetic nature.
[*]A bit slow on the uptake - she can be slow to grasp a tense situation and this can become an issue when she enters a standoff with her cheerful mood.
[*]Weak nerves - while not a coward, Rhiannon is reluctant to step out of her comfort zone which is largely limited to things she [i]knows[/i] she is proficient at. In a combat situation this could cause her to hesitate to take on a role she has little to no experience with.
[*]Slow to master - Rhiannon is not a quick learner.  Once she has something down, she knows it like no one else.  Getting to that point, however, can take her quick a while longer than others.  She's a hard worker which goes some way to compensating for this flaw but nevertheless she may lag behind others to begin with.[/list]

[b]Skills:[/b]
[list]
[*]A good singer - being from Wales, Rhiannon has been well schooled in the art of singing through school choirs.  As an added bonus, her lyrical accent makes nearly anything she says sound musical.  She can't play any musical instruments, however.
[*]Stamina - alongside her flaw of being a slow learner, Rhiannon has developed considerable stamina.  She is by no means a slow runner but it is in the endurance challenges where she will shine.
[*]Chess genius - no one has won against her in years and she enjoys crushing those who challenge her.

[b]Background: [/b]

Rhiannon was born in central Wales, in the shadows of the Brecon Beacons.  Both her parents hailed from the area, as had their parents, such is the nature of those born in the Valleys to settle where they were born.  As the only child she was showered with love and gifts and so found it easy to venture out of the constricting and traditional daily Welsh Valley life, visiting the larger towns and cities just across the border into England.  Later, after school, she moved out entirely and studied Chemistry at Cardiff University, staying in the halls of residence there.

That is not to say that she found it easy to adjust to city life, with the thousands upon thousands many more people living and working there compared to the slow and quiet days in the Valleys.  Still, she enjoyed the bustling nature of the city while still being surrounded by her fellow Welsh for comfort.  Gaining her degree she was reluctant to return to the Valleys, the expectation that she would abandon her adventure and settle down with one of the local boys (there were, according to her mother, several interested parties).  Instead she took up another family tradition, one that could not be argued with, and enrolled in the military.  Thus, she was posted across the Atlantic to America to begin her training.
