Rhi is a slim young woman. The golden hue of her skin and the streaks of blond throughout her brown hair are the result of spending large amounts of time in the water and sun of her home. The green of her eyes are rimmed by a circle of dark grey. She is 20 Turns, 0 months, and 22 days old. Swishy trous of a dark, deep blue ripple gently around Rhi's slender legs, appearing quite feminine and almost like a skirt with all these folds and swirls. Even darker embroidery decorates the slightly flared hems, melting into the cloth in their intricate swirls and twists of design. Her feet are fitted into plain sandals; thin straps curve up between her toes, joining together to wrap and twirl around her delicate ankles. Her blouse is fitted slightly to her form. It's shade is that of fresh cream, tinged only with even paler embroidery which streaks across the front of the blouse and swirls around the pearly sea-shells buttons fastening it up her front. Short sleeves are fitted snugly to her arms, while the hemline is tucked neatly into the tops of her trous. A small tag in the hem reveals this was made by Katlynn. A knot of the blue and white of the seacraft is proudly worn on her shoulder, signifying her position as Headwoman. She wears a fine silver necklace. Her hair falls in gentle waves to her waist, the golden streaks much more prominant now, than they usually are when she has her hair pulled back. Unbound and untamed, it has a will of its own as evidenced by the frequency with which it creeps around and onto her face.
About Rhi. She was born to a small fishing hold west of Tillek to a Seacrafting family. With a pretty average family background life was pretty quiet for her. Until she was about 14 turns old. Her mother's friend from her youth, (who happened to be the Lady Selchin of Tillek Hold, but that's another story) with whom she had remained close friends, mentioned on a visit to their cothold that a girl of about Rhi's age had come to live at Tillek Hold, and asked if Rhi would like to come and work at the Hold for a while. Taking her up on this offer, she found herself off at the Hold and generally helping anyone who needed help. And so began the friendship of Jaxelle and Rhi. During the next few turns they managed to get themselves into all kinds of trouble, (mostly on Jax's prompting I feel compelled to say), and formed a sisterlike bond that none could break. Their adventures over the turns, which have most often included Aralia, have included getting drunk on Lord and Lady Tillek's boat (on their best Benden wine - hey it was in dusty bottles.. they weren't to know that it meant that it was good!); rapelling down cliff-faces in search of an elusive gold firelizard clutch; Sewing apprentice Harpers into their cots and the infamous rhyming game. (don't ask) A few turns later when she was about 17, it was arranged that she move down to the Master Sea Hold, to work as an assistant headwoman to Carlin. It was there that she met Berek, an apprentice seacrafter at the time. Time passed, promotions happened and they eventually found themselves handfasted in what was a rather unorthodox ceremony. Carlin at this time, moved up to High Reaches Hold with Dalynn, asking Rhi to take over the responsibilities of Headwoman at the Seacraft Hall, and this is what she continues with at present. About three turns after they were married, Berek unfortunately disappeared at sea, which left Rhi somewhat withdrawn. With Jaxelle now established at the Weavercraft Hall as its Headwoman, she finds herself somewhat alone. She has thrown herself into her work, and doesn't really seem to have much time for other things.
