LIKES: Although dancing has helped her financially, Runa does not only dance to earn her coins. No, she dances because losing herself in the music allows her to free her mind from the ghosts of her past and her worry for tomorrow. For a time, Runa can pretend to be back in her beloved village, surrounded by people she had known her whole life, without the fear of getting enough food for a full meal for both her and Kylee, her baby sister. She loves the smell of fresh herbs, recalling the small garden that she helped cultivate with her mother and auntie and tries to buy Bay leaves to put in stew whenever she has enough to do so. 
 

DISLIKES: Sewing was never a favorite pasttime for the blonde performer, and has become even less so, now that she has little choice, but to mend thinning clothes and even make some on her own, since clothing was a huge expense. Runa was never more grateful in her life then when she started to bring enough money in to actually purchase new outfits for herself and Kylee. Being in a city has it's charms and abundance of opportunity, but Runa hates the crowded streets and basic disregard city folk have for each other. If she has her way, she would move out into the country and back to the mountains. 
 

PERSONALITY: Despite everything that she has gone through, despite losing almost everything of value to her, life has not beaten her morals out of her. She treats people with sympathy and kindess. Even when she was struggling to attain food and shelter, she spared a few coins to others who were in the same boat she was in. Even after her popularity sky rocketed, she still managed to drop money into the hats or cans of the homeless, or put food in their meager pots. She keeps the spirits of Kylee and herself up, with optimistic speeches on cold nights and hopeful stories during hungry ones. 
 

PERSONAL MOTTO: "My problems will always be there, but I will not allow them to dictate my heart and my soul, the rhythm I am gifted with will make sure of that"
 

GENERAL BACKGROUND: Runa came from a small village that was high in the mountains and far removed from most travel and merchant routes. Surprisingly it was very self reliant and could provide the villagers with everything that they could need. The crops were fertile and well tended, the animals productive and easy to manage, the resources such as wood, stone and even mining materials were plentiful. To a degree, it was a paradise even if it solely lacked in worldly trade or interaction. There was the odd caravan that would travel through the mountain passes to visit and pass news, but those visits were scattered, with the villagers on guard until the caravans left. Runa could never understand why her people were so untrusting of strangers, that is until her village was attacked. The Lord of the Province grew envious of the village and wanted it for himself, believing that the village was on the border of his lands and thus should pay him for use of the property. He was wrong of course, but that did not stop him from hiring mercenaries to lay waste to the definant villagers. Runa escaped with her younger sister Kylee, who was merely a small child at the time and travelled to find safe haven. Life for orphaned girls was hard and few who could hire, were willing to put up with a small child who needed attention between finished chores. At one point, Runa started to dance in the streets in exchange for coin. Back in her village, she was an accomplished dancer and danced in a place of honor during festivals and ceremonies. It was not a steady way to make ends meet, but she managed to pull through. Word of her was spreading through the city that she had taken residence in and before she knew it, Runa was invited as a performer to the homes of rich individuals, climbing her way up to the courts of Royalty, all while taking care of her sister. Hardships have dogged her past and more lay before her, an uncertain future for a woman whose only true skill is to dance....yet she will always face it with a smile and a well placed step forward.
