Rhona

Species: Human

Sister of Alastar

THMC01 Shades of Light/01

Younger sister (nineteen) of Sir Alastar, a paladin in the Order of Rodrick, in Roneland. (Old Scotland). Parents had been killed in the Magic Wars, and the Order had taken them in, raised them. Strawberry hair, nineteen years old. Green eyes, turned black when using special powers of magic (a form of physical magic). Shadows seemed to come alive - tendrils of mist and shadow wrapped around the object, causing them to become powerless, and scream. In later phases, she, herself, turned to shadow, and personally savaged the enemy (remnant). Larick described her magic as "dark", or "darkness", as opposes to magic which carried shades of light with it. Had hidden these powers until now, but was finally discovered, and she and Alastar had to flee.

Awakening

THMC01 Shades of Light/22

In the final fight with the sorcerers, Rhona realizes that her full powers were available whenever Alastar reinforced and continually replenished them with his healing powers of light and strength, sending the power to her throughout her efforts. Really, the two of them working together! But it was more than just healing, it was awakening. As long as he was doing that while her magic was active, she could feel it coursing through her as if it were simply another layer of muscles she had to clench. She could understand it like it was part of her mind she had never used but was suddenly active, and all she had to do was will an action to be so, and it would be. The powers of light and of dark would be working together.
