Weapon of choice (if any):

Hidden on a strap wrapped around her forearm is a sort of
leather band which holds a staff. It is about the size of a
police baton when relaxed but she can snap it out, revealing
a full 6 foot tall spear with a wicked blade on the end. She
uses this, and on rare occasions when she can conceal it a
baretta pistol.

Weaknesses in combat:

She can become too focused on a single opponent and can get
distressed to furious if she becomes endangered or looses. She
can become enveloped with trying to predict an opponents next
move and suffer from it. She looses the fun sometimes because
she’s too precise. Also small size. Vulnerable due to no long
range weaponry in her actual weapons arsenal. Fire and
imprisonment in sunlight can kill her.

Strengths in combat:

Will became a private assassin for pay, size allows her a bit more
agility. Shadows can cloak her. Although she wears glasses as
disguise and for minor vision damage, using Eagle Eyes can
compensate.

BACKSTORY

Describe their childhood (newborn - age 10):

She was born in the Pre-Renaissance era
to a book binder and his wife. Her Mother
came from Venice and was traveling with
her father. She met Rima’s father, and was
love-struck, but was betrothed to another.
She was defiant, taking after her father’s
nature. Her parents disowned her, and she
chose to stay with the man whom she fell
in love. They married and moved to
Florence. In 1398 Maria delivered Rima’s
elder sister, Carmen, and then in 1400
Rima herself, having her twin brother born
mere minutes afterward.

Describe their teenage years (11 - 19):

The family of five lived well on the Mother’s
earnings from her baking, and father’s earnings
of binding books for the wealthy. In the year
of 1410, Rima and Thomas as 10 years olds, and
the older, more darker yet with expensive
tastes 12 year old Carmen, lost their mother
when their apartment caught fire. Rima herself
nearly perished, but Thomas freed her leg from
the flames before she could catch fire any
further. Their father was left broken- hearted,
but did his best to care for them.

One he eve of Rima and Thomas’s 19th birthday,
neither had yet to marry. The pair were on
their way, returning from the market when they
were attacked by the creatures of sin, myth,
and legend: Vampires. The pair of them quickly
sank their fangs into Rima and Thomas. Thomas
was nearly drained, but Rima was chosen to be
turned. Rima awoke, body feeling like ice, but
something was wrong. She could smell the blood,
and she reacted the way a vampire does: by
biting. That is how Thomas was turned.

Rima had been gifted with understanding since
she was small, and the pair struggled for a few
years, unable to return home for fear of
exciting the wrath of the church. Eventually
though, they ran into a small coven which
explained that they had been turned by Rogues.

Describe their adult years (20+):

At the age of 22, and stuck in the appearance of the
Vampires, the twins ran into their sister. Carmen
demanded to know what had befallen them, and
inflicted horrible words of guilty upon them, telling
them of how their father had passed. Thomas lost it,
and she was turned.

The group disbanded, although Tomas and Rima remained
in contact with one another. Now in 1413, Rima was
rapidly discovering a love for the arts. Learning was
being encouraged. Things were blossoming beautifully.
She and her brother remained mainly out of site, but
during the day, Rima would occasionally take a bonnet
or umbrella and tour the cities.

Times continued to change, things evolved. 63 years
later, Rima met Leonardo di Vinci. She herself was
proving to have talent but he bested her by far.
Leonardo was 24, and she had retained her appearance.
She observed him, spoke with him, and at one point,
he asked her to model for him. She kindly refused,
thinking of her life span. In 1500, she discovered
the talented young Michelangelo in her travels, he
was very closed off, but allowed her to watch. After
a few months, the pair formed a friend ship. The 25
year old Michelangelo spoke the words: ‘You’ve
inspired me. A canvas deserves your touch from my
hands. And so as I promise now, you will be upon my
greatest work.’ These proved true when he painted
a likeness of herself into the ceiling of the Sistine
Chapel. After departing from him, she found the
intuitive Raphael in 1506. He was 23, and was proving
to learn from others. She was forced to depart from
him a few months after finding him, unwilling to have
him turned, and unwilling to reveal herself. All
three artists had few things in common however: In
disguise, Rima was at each of their death beds, each
inspired and educated her, and each proved to be
worth far more then anybody ever imagined.

Centuries came and went, and Rima dedicated herself
to learning more of art and culture. She met a great
number of famous historical figures. Now, she had
adapted well. Recently though, her sister was taken a
the heir to the Blackraven throne, leaving her next
in line, and her brother was killed by a Hunter after
trying to protect her. She still feels guilt for it.
Despite this, she had learned modern teachings, and
her current identity is that of a renowned Italian
historian. She has proven to be both a Medieval and
Modern woman, along with a Vampire and Assassin,
playing all roles relatively well.
