Description:
Like all fairies, she is tall and lithe compared to the average human yet the woman possesses a rather curvy build in comparison to other fae. She was alive when the halfsun bomb was deployed, and it's evident in her appearance. She possesses pointed, elfin features that would look cute and pixieish on another person. However with Riley's grim yellow eyes and defined brow, the sharp angles of her face only give her a vicious cat-like aspect to her appearance. Riley's skin is a pallid washed out yellow-gray, and riddled with small blemishes and scars from numerous fights and accidents. The most prominent of which is a long precise cut that runs from her right eyebrow, curves around her eye to stop at the bridge of her nose. There is also the matter of her wings, one is a perfectly normal fairy's wing glossy and clear like a dragonfly's. The other is a clunky looking piece of machinery that spits out smoke and demands constant repair. Nevertheless, the cybernetic wing works, not well, but it works...sometimes...occasionally...
Riley's is basically a textbook definition of hedonism. She does things of her own accord and when she wants to do them. Riley has little respect for others unless they are genuinely better than her in the only things she thinks matters. Sex, fighting, getting drunk, and getting paid so you have more money for getting drunk with. The woman is particularly good at avoiding consequences through a combination of being pretty, being mean, and being tough as fucking nails. Despite her rough and tumble nature, it is possible to get close to the pirate woman. Those she considers her true friends will get her utmost loyalty if nothing else
Relationships: None as of yet.
History: Before and during the first few years of the war, Riley was a perfectly normal, perfectly nice, perfectly law-abiding citizen. She had a good life, her parents had loved her as much as any child could ask, she was not bullied or picked on, she was happy.
All that changed when the world caught fire.
Her father, Gideon Giles, was one of the scientists who worked on the Halfsun bomb. Riley of course, did not know this as his job was to be kept confidential from even his family. Even if it had not been, Riley was not interested in it anyway. She knew he was a scientist, but did not care to know the specifics of his work. It was not long though, before Gideon began to crack. He did not support the halfsun bomb, and he knew what the consequences could be yet was powerless to stop it. It was his moral dilemma, that led to the first tragedy of Riley's life.
One day, Riley was invited over for dinner at her parents house. She remembered instantly thinking something was wrong, the house was quiet and the lights seemed pallid and dim as if a foreshadowing of the times to come. She walked in, had a remarkably bland dinner with her folks where Gideon picked numbly at his food and her mother spent most of the time idly chattering about where the cat was. When Gideon spilled the beans on the Halfsun project, Riley did not truly understand what she had been told yet she was horrified to say the least.
The next day, her father was found in his study, a bullet in his head.
A week later her mother dissappeared.
Riley knew not whether her parent's deaths were true suicides or well-planned hits, but she was panic and grief-stricken. She aimed to flee Errare, to defect to the enemy. Predictably, she was stopped. A assassin was after her before she even crossed the border, and through sheer persistence and a miraculous luck she managed to kill the assassin and escape mortally wounded. She lost both her wing and her innocence when she killed that man, a tragedy at the time, but an event that later dulled in comparison to the detonation.
Riley managed to escape and lie low in a small town in Sideris
THIS IS A MAJOR WIP OMG
