Rikkala Suthriim
Sage Rikkala Suthriim
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
She’s in good shape from all the traveling she does.
Body Features
The first thing to note about Rikkala is that her skin is very pale for a Telvanite.
Identifying Characteristics
Her body is covered in scars from a nearly fatal fall she had as a child that she hides beneath her clothing. They’re largely concentrated on her back, thighs, arms, and there is a couple on her abdomen with a very large one across her chest. Only her face remains unscathed.
Special abilities
She has the ability to raise and lower temperatures. She can make it so hot that things combust or so cold that ice forms. It’s far easier for her to make it hot than it is to drop the temperature, as to make things cold she has to draw the heat into her body. She can make herself very sick if she absorbs too much heat and has even passed out from it a few times.
As a result of her powers, she doesn’t really feel the effects of the weather around her. She gets wet in the rain just like everyone else, but she doesn’t get cold.
Apparel & Accessories
She looks very normal until you realize that she keeps her skin as covered as possible. Typically, she wears pants, tops that are both sleeveless and short sleeved, an assortment of gloves (the length varies on what else she’s wearing at the time), and scarves. She wears jewelry over her gloves. On her left hand she has a thumb ring, a ring on her middle finger, and a bracelet. On the right there’s a ring on her pointer finger and one on her pinky. All her rings are plain silver bands. The bracelet is copper.
Specialized Equipment
She doesn’t hold much truck with ceremonial robes, but when their required, she dons a pair of red form fitting pants as well as a red wrap around tunic with long sleeves. The edges of the tunic are trimmed in gold and the tunic is held in place by a thick gold band.
Underneath the tunic are two trailing bits of gold cloth that cover the outside of her legs going down to the knees.
She wears a pair of golden boots that are a little higher up than her ankles. She tucks her pant legs into them. This is quite easy to do as the sides of the boots lace up.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
She was born in the small town of Kirikiyuu in Telvan. Shortly after her third birthday, her father got a job teaching in a school in Karath, so the entire family moved there. She’s the oldest of three siblings. Her two younger ones, a boy and a girl, are twins.
Ever since she was a little girl, she’s insisted on being the center of attention. She’s always been one of the more popular girls town. She’s always been an average student, making it through school at a reasonable pace.
She was very young, not quite five she had the fall that caused her scars.
Quite by accident one day she met up with the ancient Sage named Jasepara, who took Rikkala under her wing, teaching her about the Fire Lord and the role of the Sage in the grand scheme of things. When her training was complete, she took over the post of Sage allowing Jasper to spend the last month of her life in peace. Currently, she resides in a remote location known to very few.
Intellectual Characteristics
Rikkala is incredibly outgoing and friendly, though she tends to come off as pushy. Nosy is another word that’s often applied to her, but she’s just overly curious and doesn’t really have much in the way of a sense of personal boundaries. When she’s really curious, she tends to forget that others might not want to talk about something.
Behind her extroverted personality, she hides a great deal of fear. She’s afraid of being alone. She is also terrified beyond belief of heights. Stairs are an ever present source of fear and, unfortunately for her, they're everywhere.
Personality Characteristics
Savvies & Ineptitudes
She has a very hard time undressing in the company of other people. She doesn’t like exposing her scarred skin. While she has a great sense of rhythm, she can’t dance. She’s also a little clumsy. She’s a terrible liar as her face gives her away every time. She hates large staircases and small spaces, as they cause her mild to panicky fear.
Likes & Dislikes
She likes hats and hair bands, playing music, and the colors blue (oddly enough), wheat, and garnet.
She really hates swimming as that means that she has to reveal parts of her body that she’d rather keep hidden. In general, she’d not very fond of physical activity beyond walking. The smell of alcohol makes her sick to her stomach every time she smells it. She really doesn’t like to be alone. She can’t stand having to walk up or down large amounts of stairs. It’s not that she doesn’t like to do so, it’s that a small part of her still remembers just what happened on the day she fell down a set of stairs, getting her scars and that part is afraid of stairs.
Virtues & Personality perks
Musically, she’s quite gifted. It’s easy for her to talk to complete strangers. She has no difficulty performing in front of large groups as she’s been doing it since she was young.
