Rhionna Hazelhawk
Full Name: Rhionna Hazelhawk
Nicknames: Rhi, Rhon, Bleeding Heart Hazelhawk
Occupation: Junior student, cheerleader, political activist, 3rd floor RA
(Azer Dorm)
Homeplane: Faerun
Group Membership: Sigil Prep Cheer Squad,
Iltinger’s unnamed union for flying students,
numerous political groups
Background: Rhionna came to Sigil Prep full of hope and wonder. She was
fresh-faced, innocent, and ready to take on the world. She had barely set her
bags down in her room on Azer Dorm, floor five, when she discovered the thing
that would set her college career.
Flyers.
She found a sheet of colored paper, advertising a rally
for goblin’s rights, and then and there, she knew what she had to do. Protest!
Soon, she was hip deep in every protest, picket, soup
kitchen, sit-in, stand-in, and love-in on campus. Save the trees, save the
gargantuan Wildspace whales, save the Tarrasque. Rights for humanoids, rights
for sapient plantlife, rights for living constructs. If there was a cause,
Rhionna was for it.
She managed to squeeze in time to join the cheer squad,
who quickly became her closest group of friends. (Well,
Maddie hates her, but she is awesome at the top of
the pyramid, so she gets a reprieve).
As time went on, and class pressures started to cave
in, she had to cut back, usually only involved in a dozen or so causes in a
given week. Still, when you have a civil rights issue and need someone to carry
a sign, she’s your go-to girl. She is presently the RA of the 3rd floor in
Azer Dorm.
Appearance: Rhionna has rich auburn hair that bounces and behaves, and
deep, earthy skin. When not in her cheer uniform (which seems to be omnipresent
on most cheerleaders around the Prep), she usually wears flip-flops and
earth-tone skirts and blouses. Some people are surprised to find out she’s not a
druid from her manner of dress, but her bardiness is pretty obvious once she
starts talking.
Role-playing Rhionna: Rhionna is an enthusiastic supporter of whatever
cause she’s currently supporting. She’ll go to lengths, arranging meetings with
faculty, city council... she even once tried to contact the Lady, though that
didn’t work out too well. Setbacks don’t seem to spoil her mood, though people
who disagree with her can.
If she’s not cheering, she’s usually holding a sign
somewhere, or a petition. If someone approaches her with a problem phrased the
right way (as a social or political issue), she’s usually quick to help out.
“Can you help raid the Dungeon of Eternal Moldiness this weekend?” won’t cut it,
but “The dragon who’s holed up in the Dungeon of Eternal Moldiness is
threatening at least four endangered mold species” might get her muck deep in a
dungeon delve with you.
Her peppiness can be contagious, and don’t be surprised
if you end up passing out a flyer or two after a brief conversation. You may not
have realized how deeply you care about Mournland Relief until you’ve talked to
her.
