"I do not think our companionship need be so complicated. If you fall, I will pick you up. And if I fall, I will pick myself up. How can I carry the burdens of other without bracing for my own?"

Biography
According to her mother, Jina, Reyna was found swaddled in a cave, nearly sacrificed by some bloodthirsty-yet-forgotten cult. As no settlements nearby claimed to be missing any children, Jina brought the baby with her back to Ul'Dah, raising her as her own. Though she was obviously not a miqo'te, Reyna was otherwise a normal girl, and she had always been treated as such by her friends and family.Having grown taller and stronger than many of her sisters, Reyna was known to be caring and sweet, if not overprotective. Though she has always been nothing less than a blood daughter to her, Jina also never held the nature of Reyna's heritage from her, and always pushed her to seek out that culture, if she so chose. When Reyna came of age to explore the world on her own, she threw herself into the adventuring profession, her strength- and perhaps her relationship to Jina, who had been a fine adventurer in her youth- carrying her through her fledgling years into the adept swordswoman she is today.It was during those early years that she lent her aid to a Sister of the Light, and in return they lent their boundless knowledge of the Hrothgar people. Reyna was more than willing to offer herself in service to a group so chivalrous, and she spent ages pouring through every tome that even vaguely mentioned the Hrothgar people.Though those memories seem distant, Reyna holds both them and the Kismet name close. She carries herself as a product of both the Hrothgar and Keepers that brought her this far, and it is their path she follows as she comes into her own. As one of the few living females among her people, the idea of Queendom occasionally floats in the back of her mind, but it is always overtaken by the thrill of battle.
