Personality
Shy, kind, straight forward

Backstory
Riniya was born and raised in a village outside the main city of Silversea. When she was young, she discovered her abilities for magic and she excelled in Illusions. For a time, she kept this between herself and her parents. A good of way of keeping this secret was practicing in secret, far outside the village. No one was suspicious of her leaving because she was always so shy and kept to herself.

Once she matured, she heard of that they were establishing and that they were hiring teachers. By this point she had mastered Illusion magic and decided why not. Though she was terribly nervous about it, she gathered up the courage, applied, and was put in charge of teaching the Illusion magic classes.

Her optional courses were well-excepted, letting several students enter, including Cecelia Ashwell.

When the Necropolis Incident hit Silversea, she was more of a tactical contributor. She coordinated the relief efforts in the residential areas and sent mages to defend the surrounding villages, in case the undead left the city. She. more than most, was relieved when the battle with the undead ended and necromancy outlawed.
