Background:
Birth & Childhood:
Rinya was born on Vedir into the Shuri family of the A’Kalash tribe.
Vedir was a world covered with wide windy canyons; most of them so deep that the sunlight never reaches the bottom, thus making the Vedirians live on top of the many plateaus. It was through this planet surface that the Vedirian tribes developed a unique culture where aviation is the main way of movement and transport. So Rinya was born with the blood of aviators.
Ever since she could remember, she had always dreamt of flying. Her father, the owner and pilot of a small air-cargo freight business, trained her in flying cargo gliders so that she could later work with him and carry on the family business some day.
At the age of ten, she went to a TSAB flight show with her family. The first moment she saw the aerial mages, she knew that she wanted to fly like them in the sky, without a glider or plane.
Her father didn’t like her sudden decision and ordered her to stop the stupid thinking at once. Rinya of course, did not.
Since then, the tension within the family never vanished and at the age of twelve she left her home and joined the TSAB.
In service:
Influenced by the traditions of her home world, which reached back to ancient Belka, she chose the Belkan style of magic, even if it wasn't the best choice for someone who wanted to become an aerial mage. But, with passion and hardwork, she succeeded to enter aerial training.
While she was normally good at teamwork, the somewhat reckless nature of her attacks made it difficult for her to adapt to the ways the aerial mages fought, and she nearly dropped out of aerial training. To her luck, an instructor saw the potential of her being more of a melee attacker than a ranged combat mage. Rinya was given an instructor that taught her the fighting style of a Belka Ritter, and, considering the history of her homeworld, she was given her own Device that was created after a traditional Vedirian aerial melee weapon.
Thanks to this, Rinya was able to graduate from the training school as one of the top ranking students, as an A-ranked aerial mage.
Dragonfly:
After graduation, Rinya was assigned to the Air Armaments Service Squadron "Dragonfly", an experienced battle squadron that handled patrol and rescue missions.
Rinya's first big mission was when Dragonfly helped other units in the search for a Class-1 criminal that was detected in Central Midchilda.
Dragonfly found the fugitive, but, Rinya, who was the most inexperienced, was the first to be wounded in battle and was ordered to retreat at once. She later discovered that Dragonfly was totally wiped out.
Rinya wanted to return to battle immediately, but, for her condition, was ordered to stay behind. While she was being treated at the first-aid station, the criminal was captured.
Road to Officer:
As the only survivor of Dragonfly, Rinya was sent on leave and she visited her family on Vedir, but the still-existing tension between her and her father made her return to Midchilda quickly.
Back in service, she supported other aerial squadrons on different missions.
It was the JS incident that brought her to the attention of her superiors.
During the battle against the Saint's Cradle, Rinya was flying around the battlefield, supporting other units and engaging Drones in direct combat.
Through her bravery and quick-thinking on the field, she was promoted to 2nd Lieutenant and was sent to an Officer's course, her official rank now determined as AA.
Personality:
Rinya is a bright and energetic person that some people would even call her reckless.
She can be very proud and stubborn sometimes, but this is only to hide her true feelings when she is insecure.
Rinya loves flying and is very glad she joined TSAB because of it. She still thinks very fondly of her old home, even though she is not on good terms with her father.
She also tries to see the good in people first.
Windlanze
Windlanze (Wind Lance) is a device crafted after a Vedirian wind-rider's lance.
In ancient Belka, these traditional weapons were used by Vedirian knights in aerial battles and air jousting.
Swung in fast flight, the lance could deal massive damage on impact to its target.
Windlanze is additionally equipped with a second form and a Belkan cartridge system.
Modes:
Klingenform (Blade Form):
Windlanze’s standard form is a short spear with a long blade.
Zwillingsklingenform (Twin Blade Form):
A second blade appears on the other side of the now-shortened hilt. This form is used when battling more opponents at once.
