Ryne Lumiere

Background
"Light. Has it ever helped anyone around me? Has it ever rid the darkness in mankind's hearts?"

Ryne is a person with a mysterious past full of loss and struggle of losing good people in her life to which she describes "darkness". Because of the feeling of loss, she no longer trusts in the "Light" to prevent or rid people of becoming tempered by "darkness".

Left by an abandoned temple in the woods at a young age, she was found and raised by two individuals named Volund Forrest and Katrine Blacke. Volund was a man of a unique prowess of craftsmanship while Katrine knew how to survive in the wild woods. Both have lived through years of strife and wars. Ryne saw both of them as her role models rather than family. They taught her how to walk, talk, and build her own character throughout the years. As Ryne lived in the woods and had no communication with the real world, she developed an imaginary friend named Gaia. Gaia had looked like Ryne but with dark hair. Gaia would act as the motivator for Ryne's actions. Ryne believed that doing good things (counted as light) while doing bad things (counted as contributing to darkness). However, she also believed that there had to be a balance in order for her to grow as a person.

In the year 2018, Volund and Katrine became gravely sick and weren't able to take care of Ryne any longer. Ryne blamed that the darkness in her actions growing up caused both of them to become ill over time. She attempted to do good things for them to get better. To no avail, nothing happened. Ryne tried to rid of the darkness in their hearts by showing how good she has become. Gaia would tell Ryne that it is her fault that the darkness got them. Nothing can be saved.
