Rhee Barnes

Name: Rhianu "Rhee" Barnes
Age: 24
Birthday: November 12th
Residence: Trizzica D'Crocio, Lualdi Region

Appearance: Rhee is scrawny and small-framed, barely over five feet in height. Her tendency to wear baggy clothes might make her seem slightly bigger than she really is, though in reality, all it does is mask how utterly frail-looking she is. Her limbs seem more like sticks than anything else, and her face having sharp, angular features to begin with might encourage comparing her to a skeleton. Despite owning a pair of glasses, Rhee generally forgets to wear them, as her eyesight is really only bad enough to impact her when reading something.

Rhee's brown hair is cut short, ending just at her shoulders. Her bangs tend to hang in her eyes, and she has green eyes that are heterochromatic in the center, so her pupils are surrounded by brown. She has several piercings -- lobe, helix, and eyebrow, and she favors silver colors for them. Otherwise, she doesn't wear jewelry or wear anything especially fancy or expensive. Rhee more prefers function over form, though her aesthetic overall leans towards muted colors, especially shades of grey, and she replaces clothes that are stained or that have holes in them.

Personality: Sullen, pessimistic, and resigned describe Rhee well. She bottles up positive emotions and despises laughing in public, because she cannot make any laughing sounds whatsoever, and her laughter sounds more like awkward, rasping breathing. Being born mute, as her vocal cords cross instead of laying parallel, she can't speak, and she tends to give up on talking to people the very moment they indicate feeling inconvenienced by waiting for her to write down what she wants to say. She'll be more sociable with people who know sign language, but she doesn't expect people to sign at her if they don't need to and actually resents being thought of as deaf. When confronted with problems in communicating, Rhee will give up if the other person doesn't make the effort, usually with a long, drawn-out sigh -- her primary and favorite "verbal" means of conveying how she feels.

Despite having a morbid sense of humor herself and joking about it, death actually tends to rattle Rhee, and being reminded of it will make her feel on edge. She dislikes being near graveyards or around things (such as Cubone) that are reminiscent of death, and the impending sense of dread pertaining to the apocalypse has done little in removing death from the forefront of her mind. Rhee certainly believes that Lualdi is doomed, but she also thinks nothing can be done about it. Every now and again, she takes her loyal Growlithe, Procyon, to investigate Time's Scar with her due to finding it altogether interesting. Anything particularly odd or unusual will capture Rhee's attention easily; it takes her mind off dreary things.

Rhee's memory is poor, and she tends to forget certain things rather easily. Furthermore, she also has weak psychic powers that let her see flashes or impressions of other people's memories if she makes physical contact with them. The stronger a memory is, the stronger the impression, especially if it was at the forefront of the person's mind when Rhee touched them. She cannot control this power or use it intentionally except for maintaining contact with someone in hopes that her psychic powers will manifest enough to get an impression of their memory. Combined with Rhee's own sometimes-incomplete memory, this results in her sometimes mixing up what has actually happened to her and what happened to someone else that she just saw. Occasionally, she will go to places she sees from other people's memories and see how many people she recognizes from "her" memory.
