Rhus Vernix

Rhus Vernix is a character role-played by MoodyWeatherASD.

General Description
Rhus Vernix has nearly identical features to her mother (Evelyn Danse) but with red hair instead of green. Her red hair is a derivative of poison sumac and, if touched, may cause a painful burning itchy rash. She favors feminine clothing, as well as hats or hair nets for the purpose of protecting others from her poisonous hair.

Personality
Rhus is a people-pleaser with a soft airy voice. She has a slight addiction to weed and cannot pass up an opportunity to eat at Burger Shot.

Background
Soon after moving to Los Santos, she learned that she was only a few months old instead of the twenty-something-years she'd believed herself to be. This was confirmed by multiple people, including Doctors Maxwell Goethe and Sophia McMoo, both of whom had worked closely with her mother. They explained to Rhus that she is not human, but rather a genetic clone of her mother Evelyn Danse, combined with DNA derived from an external blood source that she'd siphoned from as a seedlet. The seedlet then sought a host to burrow into. Some time after, she burst from their chest and emerged as a mature adult.

Rhus would take some time to come to terms with her new identity as something called a spriggan-demon and the fact that all of her memories up until that point were, apparently, false memories.

On March 7, 2023, Rhus was hired on as an Admin Assistant at MRPD.
