This is part of why Aymeric's very humanist but no less deep faith is really important for her growth as a little spark of the divine, regardless of The Ship. There's a thread of something kind in accepting the truth of the divine being formed by mortal belief. It saves her. #rinhcalore
Exceptionally in tune with how she works through things and giving her what she needs. It's part of how they grew closer but also part of why it took so long because he was so careful not to impose his own feelings/wants. #rinhcalore
She can lift them. It's just a whole other understanding of aether and weaving/enhancing it in different ways. :) #rinhcalore
Nidhogg's last laugh or something. But he's gotten good at carrying grief, and on new moons, when he dreams, Rinh and Aymeric are there with the others he's lost too. She brings them to the edge of the far shore and they wave to him so he knows he's got a home waiting. #rinhcalore
Until Rinh showed up and was a divine vessel to a dosojin kami that called itself Higanbana. And so there she stayed, enshrined for all of her early life. #rinhcalore
Both an end and a beginning. #rinhcalore
Had been around all that long to care or experience itself as such before the sundering. #rinhcalore
And always has a bit of the "Ardbert rejoining" flavor but like. Azem has a lot more to give. Now that they're fully rejoined, it's not clear if Rinh can totally die in a natural sense, her healing ability already extremely potent before she basically fully refused with a modern god so 🤷♀️ #rinhcalore
say Rinh definitely *hates* that person. It's not really in her personality much. #rinhcalore
happened and while he was sort of superficially healed in the journey/shift, he was basically out of w/e time he had left to him in that particular configuration of fate. #rinhcalore
I made a sheet of her main ARR looks 🖤
#rinhcalore
He saw her grow up being called a divine vessel and worshipped... Her being the savior of the star kind of tracks. But he does worry about her. She's still his baby sister. He helps the scions a bit during StB and houses her when she's recovering after EW. #rinhcalore
So the healing isn't really her echo but. It's sorta affected by it. #rinhcalore
The guy that raised her is always "Father." Her brother called their mother Mama until she passed, so that's what Rinh would say to refer to her if it came up. #rinhcalore
Posting about some kinda silly Hingan moon cat headcanons I have because I'm constantly rotating Rinh around in my head while I queue for frontlines so #rinhcalore I guess.
a reference sheet for a grey-skinned keeper of the moon miqote with dark blue hair and red eyes. In the central images, she is wearing a foggy-blue coat and matched shorts and thigh-high boots. Her hair is cut to jaw-length.
basic ref updated! rinh in early endwalker adventuring gear. her look here is built on the work of so many talented creators (all referenced in the sheet)🖤
#rinhcalore
to kind of pick a "patron" kami for the child. Rinh's (kami) father is Tsukuyomi. 😅 (her brother's (kami) father is Daitenzan!) #rinhcalore
She was outgoing, free-spirited, and a talented dancer and medium. Rinh knows her as a murky and mythologized ideal told through the lenses of her older brother and the priest that raised her (and had been endlessly infatuated with Sumi). #rinhcalore
to be w/e he wanted her to be. Sadu was an encounter more than anything, but she was so grounded in who she was and had such an unwavering sense of self that she also seeded in Rinh. I think Sadu knew that Rinh needed her point of view and that well of strength for the future. #rinhcalore
So if she's traveling with anybody in a non urgent capacity it'd be pretty normal to do something other than teleport. I'm those cases she's basically a "it's the experience that matters" over mode of transportation preference person. #rinhcalore
Rinh's mother died during childbirth and her clan claims no fathers, just patron kami. So she has no sense of her biological father, but claims Tsukuyomi as her father by cultural tradition. The man that raised her was obsessed with her mom and had a.. complicated relationship with Rinh. #rinhcalore
And then, you know. MSQ starts to role and it becomes clear she doesn't get to just "pretend" to be their hero for all that long. TL;DR Now she trades one stifling duty for another and accidentally finds herself rather than trying to find herself and falling into another stifling duty. #rinhcalore
Now she's just got some goldish scars and full access to Azem's aether - but that was an EW thing. It was really really hard for her to reconcile Azem as part of herself. Aymeric dealt with a lot in the aftermath. She came back from the First pretty lost. #rinhcalore
This was fun. :3
A mood board for Rinh.
#rinhcalore #ffxivoc
Azem needs a redesign (by that I mean new eye color probably). I need to make a chart. For Azem, their twin, and Lycoris. #rinhcalore
Finding out she's just a shell, actually. She's just a nest for a selfish god, shaped like someone long gone. She refers to herself like this a lot like that will help her make peace but she's so afraid it's true. #rinhcalore
Her name is a tiny part of all that and she's mostly just like "my mom gave me this and I never met her, so it's precious." #rinhcalore
