"When I grow up, I'm gonna be a great knight! You'll get to be my healer, Sylv-Ia!" - Ryssa

Ryssa became the tomboy of the Skyrim story plotted between Kuro and myself. Her mother even assumed the unhatched baby was a boy that the name was supposed to be Rysso--but they changed it to Ryssa upon realizing mother's intuition wasn't right about the sex of her child (kinda). xD

With Sylv-Ia and Ryssa, the two are like sisters. Ryssa was always there to protect her friend, Sylv-Ia and make sure nothing ill befell her, and Sylv-Ia always leaned on Ryssa for support and always healed her friend whenever she got too knee-deep into trouble.

When Ryssa does leave Whiterun to train to become a better knight, it was like losing a soul mate for Sylv-Ia, and it was hard to cope the many years without her friend. Upon Ryssa's return, Sylv-Ia does everything she can to make sure she stays.

Ryssa's shield is supposed to give the look of a head of a horse since Whiterun's mascot is a horse. XD She has the two-piece outfit to show a bit of sex appeal, but I wasn't about to let her body go undamaged with that much showin', thus the scars and burned off fur! ;P Ryssa is very dominate, and even in her relationship will she show she's not going to let a man tell her what to do.
