Name: Rita Neith
Age: 20
Personality:
Rita has a resting angry face, but hates to have it pointed out. She generally views people through the lens of "I'll treat you how you treat me". She's typically quite brusque with those she's not particularly close to, and hates having her affairs pried into. If she feels that she has an obligation to do something, she generally follows through with it, and is more than happy to help out those who don't mistreat her.
She has a generally low tolerance for alcohol, and is a happy drunk. She also quite likes to drink when she gets the chance. If she sees someone she doesn't dislike struggling, she often goes over to offer them help, often even to the exclusion of whatever she was working on prior. She's slightly claustrophobic. She has a sharp distaste for theft.

History:
Rita was born in a small city in the once-domain of the Sechs empire before it's disintegration. When she was seven, the city was sacked. Her parents were killed during the chaos of the battle in the city, and she found herself out on the streets. After nearly starving to death, she found herself in one of the street gangs of the impoverished city, and eventually ran into her adoptive brother. Over time, she took care of him and ended up easily falling into the role of an older sister for him.
Over the next three years, she was stuck in the role of a pickpocket and beggar before she finally decided to start searching for odd jobs around town. She was strong for her age, and although meagre, she was able to earn enough for her and Leslie to eat. As she continued to grow, one thing led to another, and she picked up the skills to go out of the city hunting. And from there, she made the leap to mercenary work, although she refused to have anything to do with the wars, much preferring jobs to capture or slay nearby monsters.
Eventually, when she was sixteen and Leslie was twelve, she realized he had a talent for scholarship and started sending him to school using job proceeds. Unfortunately, due to the costs of the scholarly lifestyle, she was forced to take jobs further and further from home.
A few weeks before the shipwreck, Leslie finally finished his studies, and the pair decided to take a trip, both as a celebration for his graduation, and in search of a better place to settle down and build a more permanent life. Unfortunately, the ship they took was wrecked, and they found themselves among the castaways on the island. In the month since, Rita has helped guard the group from wild animals and monsters, and has generally helped with any labor needed to resettle the city.
