WARNING! |
I AM NOT A PIRATE!!
To the brothers.
Rioha, born as Rioha Decima Brightmane, is a central character and tritagonist in Skylark. She is member of The Crew as well as the pilot of The Ship but was once the first mate in her uncle's crew unaware of his more illegal activities and real nature.
After the arrest of her uncle, Rioha hid aboard The Ship and later met the brothers, Garen and Wake at the start of their adventure into the world.
Appearance
Rioha is a young woman with bright orange hair and eyes, she has light colored skin tone with a slim but toned figure.
Personality
Rioha is a practical individual with an honest, mature demeanor grounded in reality, often serving as the level-headed contrast to her more reckless and eccentric friends. Even as a child, she displayed remarkable maturity, frequently questioning her uncle about his plans following his banishment.
Beneath her stern exterior, however, lies a free spirit who deeply values personal freedom and the ability to choose her own path. In defiance of her family's strict traditions, Rioha chose to forge her own way. She is highly intelligent, with a pragmatic and worldly perspective, often relying on her cleverness and insight to solve problems.
A gifted engineer, Rioha is extremely knowledgeable about the inner workings and smooth operation of The Ship, which she regards with fierce protectiveness. She was often frustrated by Garen and Wake’s early mishandling of her "baby," showing open pride and satisfaction during perfect landings, and breaking down in tears when Agatha and her gang caused damage to it. The incident left her visibly heartbroken and momentarily hopeless.
History
Rioha was born in Port Ballesta, the ancestral hometown of her family the Brightmanes. Like the rest of her family, she was raised to one day join the military as per tradition.
Story

While her uncle and the crew are being arrested, Rioha hid in a closet aboard the The Ship. She stays there for days, eventually falling asleep. When Garen and Wake are getting ready to leave the High Islands, the two panic as they realize that neither knows how to pilot the ship while wondering what to do next, a half-asleep Rioha makes a noticeable loud noise and wakes up. The brothers wonder what it is and hope to check it out.
Excited by a possible intruder, Garen leads the search and sniffs out the room. Rioha tries to mask her breathing, but she's suddenly welcomed by Garen smashing into the closet's door with his face. In a panic, she fires a crossbow bolt that grazes Garen's shoulder, which annoys him while Wake watches the chaos and freaks out too. A hurt Garen tells his brother to calm down and to help him close the wound, but Rioha takes the initiative by using her finger and apologizes for shooting him Garen tells her that he'll take care of the rest.
After calming down, the three
