My Story So Far
Born to an Ala Mhigan woman and traveling Ishgardian mercenary during Garlean rule of Ala Mhigo, it would not be long before Rezi would lose her mother to a Garlean raid, only to be spared and adopted by one of the officers who had been present. Her father was long gone. From here on forth, she would be raised under an Imperial roof.
At 13 years old, she had joined an Imperial Cadet Unit of which once she graduates, she would join the Crania Lupis. But, 2 years later would change her life forever.
When she was 15, her adopted father would be sent to join Gaius van Baelsar's 14th legion at Cartenau Flats. Wanting to be at her father's side, she had snuck along, posing as a foot soldier under her dad's command.
Cartenau as most know, was a nightmare for both sides of the fight. Though Reztilonia had survived Bahamut, her father was not so lucky. He had been killed, and at his side, tossing her helmet away, she would cry, beg, and even pray for him to somehow make it. But it was all for naught, and her rambling caught the attention of soldiers from Limsa Lominsa. They captured her and sent her to prison as a POW in the seaside city-state.
Broken as she may be after her father's death and her capture, she would prove to be resilient and very stubborn. Which eventually would earn her, a sort of freedom. After proving themselves, they were given the opportunity to join the Maelstrom. But the first chance they had, they would escape their captors.
That chance would come shortly after the Battle of Baelsar's Wall. They would be assigned to a patrol on the Griddanian side of the Wall, where she would make her escape. Taking an arrow to the shoulder along with many, many cuts and bruises. She ran through the dark Twelveswood until she could no longer hear her pursuers.
Bruised, bloodied and broken, Rezi happened upon a small hunting shack deep in the woods, and with all her remaining strength, she broke into the shack, looking for food, water, and something to bind her arm, when all of a sudden she perked up and heard voices, so she hid behind the door, sword drawn, waiting for whoever it was to enter. Then, as the purple haired Miqote entered the hut, Rezi took a weak step forward, pointing her blade at the catgirl's throat before collapsing in front of her and losing consciousness.
They would not awaken for several days and once they did, the purple haired miqote girl was by their bedside, her name was Reyna Hawthorne. After explaining her situation and apologizing, with some help from Reyna, she was granted permission to stay with the Moon Keeper clan.
Their relationship would blossom from this point, and eventually they would call each other lovers. As Rezi healed, she would learn new skills of hunting, trapping and of medicinal properties of plants in the wild, as well as honing her skills with the bow, employing her new skills with the bow against a pair of slave traders hiding out in the woods. Freeing these slaves would start her small band of Rangers, ambushing those of not so savory tidings.
Eventually her work in the Black Shroud would gain the attention of a Totally Not Shady Business, where she would agree to contract work for several jobs.
While still operating in the Shroud, word of her Rangers had reached the ears of one of the New Ishgard's High Houses, who had reached out with an offer Reztilonia could not refuse. A full pardon from the Eorzean Alliance, a new home, and the chance to fight Garleans, and give folks their freedom. Hence marked the birth of The Order of Fallen Snow, and Rezi being Head Ranger. Her first time seeing action would be at Ghymlit Dark, and from there after she would spend time in the Far East, as well as assisting in the Restoration of Ishgard. But even so... She did not feel whole, something was missing. The one's she called friends were now her enemies, the ones she called enemies were now allies. They knew that they were of Ala Mhigan heritage, but they were raised Garlean, and she hated that, if people knew, would they not hate her as well...? She pledged herself to give other people their freedom, so she could prove herself that she was worthy of everyone she knew's love and acceptance.
