Rybech's avatars are short, shortest of all the deities of the Alethean Pantheon, thick thighed and hipped but lithe and flexible. She has a moderate bust size and muscular arms. Her hair fails just below her shoulders and is mostly straight. She is a very physical person with a high fem-butch aura.
Body Features
Rybech's ebony black skin, silvery-white hair and elvin ears mark her drow heritage and are very striking on her compact, muscular frame. She generally wears leather armor or finely cut and embroidered pantsuits.
Facial Features
With high cheekbones and a narrow, curved jawline, Rybech's forceful personality are easy to spot. The ease with which she smiles and bursts into full bodied laughter, though, prevent her from looking too severe.
Physical quirks
Right handed, posture is open and tends to lean back just a little. As though her confidence and exuberance just can't quiet be contained.

Personal history
Rybech Baenla was born a drow mortal during the younger days after the signing of The Accord of Aleth . She was impulsive and free spirited as most of Auras's drow were not under Lolth's sway at the time. As she was coming into full adulthood, Fatekeeper Kharen was beginning her rise to power and descent into tyranny, unsurprisingly Rybech became a leader among the movement to oppose her. As the Priesthood of Fate spread their campaign of enforced happiness and peace, the tension between the two groups grew.
At the peak of the cold war between Kharen and the opposition, Rybech and her fellow leaders planned a daring stunt to rob and deface the central Temple of Kharen in order to embarrass and discredit the Priesthood and their dogma. They failed and were captured. After trial a public execution was set for the opposition leadership, but when Kharen's divine fire fell from the heavens to smite them, instead of being consumed, Rybech felt something within her awaken and she ascended as the Goddess of Luck and Chance. She destroyed Kharen's temple in an explosive burst of divine energy, forcing Kharen to retreat and officially escalating their cold feud to a full scale war as Corlan En-Dal called the full Alethean Pantheon to conviene and determine the implications of this newly arisen deity.
The War of Destinies lasted for nearly almost 100 years and threatened to rip the Alethean Pantheon apart as more and more of the deities took one side or the other. When it finally ended, it saw Kharen and Rybech face-to-face with each other on the battleground, the confrontation opened Kharen's eyes to how her heavy-handed rule was ensuring peace, but destroying joy and adventure in the world. She called back her forces and fled back to her private domain to consider her actions and how to move forward. Rybech was not satisfied with a mere ending of hostilities, and pursued Kharen and the two disappeared for nearly 1,000 years. When they re-emerged it was by each other's side as allies, which soon developed into a fiercely loyal friendship, and then marriage. While the two do not always agree, and have even found themselves on opposite sides of the battlefield since then, they are fiercely loyal to each other, passionately in love, and always strive to work through any conflicts with discussion.

History
Corlan's initial view of Rybech was unease as her ascension to goddesshood was unexpected and through much of the balance of power among the Alethean Pantheon into question. However he secretly supported her opposition to Kharen during the War of Destinies, and the two became friends. He was firmly on the side of her and the other members of the Ascended Court during the period of high tension between Auras's firstborn deities and the first generation of those who rose later.
