Wanderers / Independent
Riona Willard
Crow's Aide
Fuller account: Age 20, height 160 cm, class Eagle (archer). Her official character card instead gives Birth Year Unknown, Faction None, Height 171 cm, CV Kim SaeHae — described there as a mysterious woman who carries out the will of the wandering swordsman Crow, as skilled with a bow as any soldier, her origins and deeds shrouded in mystery. Why she travels with Crow and calls him her lord is left a mystery on the card itself.
Crow's childhood friend and loyal aide since his days as Ice Pandragon — she served as his vice-commander under the prince before Gratias. All of Ice Pandragon's other subordinates abandoned him after Gratias. Riona alone stayed — because she loved him. She is not a parchment-subplot character; she is his constant companion across the entire span of his exile, present for every year of the wandering that the main story glosses over.
She also has a second companion alongside Crow: Xuan Nore, a female assassin mercenary they encounter near Trisis during the wandering years, who joins them.
