History:
Rydia was born in the village of Mist. By the age of seven, she was the village's most powerful summoner but only because Eidolons trusted children more than adults. The village was hidden away from the majority of the world with her mother's Eidolons protecting the village from intruders. While not all the family within Mist were capable of summoning, the village lived like a happy family. Rydia was the youngest summoner within town, but there were still other children around her age to play with. Even during those time the green haired girl was known for having a big heart and smile, trying to help everyone she could. The town was isolated but never once did anyone feel alone because of the togetherness Mist shared. Sadly, it all ended on the tragic day her mother's died before her eyes.
Summoner share special links with the Eidolons summoned. The supernatural creatures don’t live in their world, and so in order to be manifested into their world they are linked to the lives of the summoner. When an Eidolons link is cut from this world by dying, its summoner dies as well. However, the Eidolon never truly dies since its true self is safe within another realm of existence.
Rydia’s mother controlled the most powerful summon in the village, thus she became its protector. Her Eidolon, the Mist Dragon, was summoned and stayed outside of town to protect the village. While usually Mist Dragon just dealt with roaming monsters, on that fateful day it was two humans that came to slay it. The invaders had managed to kill the dragon thus killing her mother. Rydia was near her mother when she collapsed. She had told the girl to run and warn the villagers when she felt her life slipping away, but the young girl couldn’t leave. She begged and pleaded for her mother to wake up; she didn’t have to die because her Eidolon died! The Eidolon wasn’t really dead so her mother shouldn’t have to really die! Soon the men that killed her mother appeared in the village, causing a large fire. Even in the chaos Rydia refused to leave her mother’s side. She couldn’t accept her death. All the villagers seemed to be frantic, but the two foreigners seemed to be calm regardless of the blazing flames; the two strange men started talking about how they killed the dragon and how the stories of summoners must be true. They were gloating over her mother’s death! When the two men approached her, the young girl felt all her anger and fury swelling in her heart. Not once in her life had she experienced such detestable feelings until they came into her life. One offered to help her, but she quickly refused their help and summoned an Eidolons to protect her from their advances. The men who killed her mother couldn't be trusted! Titan appeared, causing an earthquake and sending them far away. Unfortunately, she, too, was caught in the earthquake.
By the time Rydia awoke, the man had taken her to a place she thought was safe. It was far away from her village since even indoors it felt warm. And nothing was familiar. Her mother was gone and so was her village. Now she was far away in some unfamiliar place with a man who killed them all. Even when he tried to talk to her, she couldn’t speak back even to yell at him. Her anger made her mute and for that, she sat there with her bottle emotions until she fell back to sleep. That night, soldiers marched in demanding her life. Oddly enough, the same man that destroyed her previous life seemed bent on keeping her safe now as he slew his former allies. She hated him for killing her mother, but when he fought to defend her Rydia's perspective changed. The man's name was Cecil and he soon became Rydia's friend. She apologized for her harsh treatment of him earlier, seeing now he had a kind heart. With his urge to protect her, she couldn’t help but feel sorry for him. People from his country wanted her dead because she was friends with the Eidolons. And while she could summon them, she wasn’t too strong; she definitely wasn’t strong enough to defeat an army. And yet Cecil still was willing to keep her near to ensure her safety. While gaining such a great friend didn’t make up for losing her happy family, she was happy to have Cecil.
When he learned another friend of his was sick in the village then he set off to find a cure with Rydia accompanying him. The road ahead was rather harsh, but the two were rather lucky to find a very powerful sage in need of help. The walk was quite a far distance and by the time they reached the city that could cure Rosa, the Red Wing had attacked the city to steal their Crystal. There the group met Edward, the prince of Damcyan. His parents were slain and the person he loved the most died to protect him and all he could do was cry. The young girl looked at him with disgust. He was supposed to be strong as an adult but all he did was cry. If she could act like an adult and continue on then so could he. Her words were harsh, but she had met them to encourage him. She knew it was hard to watch loved ones die, but he needed to continue on. If there was hatred in his heart, then he should have had determination like Tellah and gone off to avenge he loved ones. Cecil did the same and eventually the prince came around. The group headed off to find the pearl that was the cure to Cecil’s friend disease. Once they slain the monster, the group rushed back to save Rosa, Cecil’s childhood friend.
Rosa was a very pretty and nice woman, being around her instantly brightened Cecil’s feelings. Rydia liked her almost instantly since she was such a kind woman. She cared for the wellbeing of others before herself, wanting t immediate head to Fabul after being given the medicine. But there was more to Rosa than just being nice. She was forgiving and encouraging. The blonde woman’s determination made Rydia see past her fear of fire to the people that needed the group’s help. The next place Baron would strike was Fabul but the roads were covered in ice. Rosa knew magic but only white magic meaning Rydia would need to melt the ice with fire. And even though she hated fire with such passions for taking away the village she loved and people who treated her like family, her new friends needed her to be strong so they could be strong. And if they were going to stop Baron from making people sad like she once was, she had to melt the ice. And so, for the first time the young Rydia casted fire and they headed off to island of Fabul to warn them about the threat to their crystal. On their way to Fabul they met a monk who joined up with them in order to keep Fabul safe, unfortunately, when they made it to the city-state, the events in Damcyan seemed to continuous replay themselves.
In Fabul, they were able to keep the city from being completely destroyed but Rosa was kidnapped. She was taken by the same man who helped Cecil destroy her town. Rosa was a friend, so they had to save her! Soon the party was off to Baron to save her and stop this Golbez from his plot. Baron was the country of the Eight Corps, but their navy corps was their weakest. Going by ship seemed best, or so said the Dark Knight. But during the trip, Leviathan, the Lord of All Waters attacked the vessel! Such a thing spelt doom, sending all the sailors into a frenzy. Rydia was thrown overboard almost instantly as the great sea serpent tried to destroy the ship. Even though the brave Yang tried to save her, the moment she hit the water she sank faster than her could swim. When all she could see was blue, she felt a great rush pulling her away from the ship and Yang. The young summoner swallowed by the Lord of All Waters.
While Leviathan might have swallowed the girl, he didn't ingest her. Instead, the King of Eidolons took her to the lands of Feymarch. For what seemed like years, the girl stayed with the Eidolons and they became her second family. Lord Leviathan and his wife, Asura cared for Rydia like a daughter. As time passed, Rydia wondered about her old friends. Did Cecil save Rosa? Where they able to stop Baron? Because time passes differently in the land of Eidolons, Rydia grew older as what was years in those lands. She assumed the same had happened to the outside world and the problems with Baron resolved themselves. As Rydia grew stronger, Asura finally told the green haired girl what was happening in the Overworld. Worried about the others, Rydia took off to try to help her friends. When she arrived to the Dwarven Castle, she made it just in time to save Cecil and defeat Golbez with her Mist Dragon. Sadly, she wasn't able to stop him from stealing the Dark Crystal. More tragedies seemed to follow all their attempts to retrieve the Crystals failed as well as what was thought to be the deaths of Yang and Cid.
Soon fate leads the group the moon. Eventually they learn the disasters and tragedies that Rydia's witness was all a plot of a man named Zemus. When the time arose for the final fight, Cecil asked her and Rosa to stay on Blue Planet since their was no guarantee of coming back. Even Edge chimmed in saying 'it was for grownups,' trying to mock her. While Rydia left in a rage, she had no real intentions of missing such a battle. So many people had died because of Zemus including her mother. Cecil was forced to fight his brother and the Giant of Babil had caused such destruction! She couldn't just sit back. The two stoleaway on the ship and eventually convinced Cecil to rejoin the party. While Golbez and Fusoya were able to defeat Zemus, his hatred turned into a monster called Zeromus. They were all able to destroy Zeromus and the world was safe once again.
Likes:
Friends - Rydia would be nothing without her friends, especially Cecil. They're always willing to help her and risk their lives to save her.
Feymarch - The land of the Eidolons is her second home. Rydia has always been close with the summons and secretly prefers that world over her own.
Eidolons - Naturally, as a summoner, Rydia is close with the Eidolons. She even considers two to be her parents.
Pigs - They're so cute!
Dislikes:
Fire - While she did conquer her fear of fire, she still has bitter feelings towards it since Mist was destroyed by it.
More Than One Moon - It has lead to trouble, repeatedly.
Being Treated Like A Child - She's quite old, despite her looks. Rydia feels she should be treated as an adult thought sometimes her childish nature has her treated otherwise.
Fears:
Strangers - She's always a little hesitant to get to know new people. Strangers did appear in her hometown and destroy everything...they just later became her friend.
Lose of Friends - With no family, minus Asura and Leviathan, Rydia only has her friends. She wants nothing more than to keep them safe.
Being Petrified - She's seen so many people turned to stone in her life; not once did it ever look enjoyable.

RP Sample:
Things were hard to comprehend. One moment she was reminiscing with Edge about the past and now she was here. She wasn’t exactly too sure where here. Nevertheless, fate seemed to change and Rydia had to change with the times. Whenever she mentioned things about the Blue Planet, people looked at her weird. Mist didn’t exist here. Baron wasn’t the name of any known town. Feymarch was completely inaccessible. They all made her think she was imagining the past, but she knew her those memories of her dearest friends were real.
“Someone’s daydreaming…”
Rydia’s green eyes blinked as she looked up. To her surprise there was a man leaning over her all of two inches away. The woman yelped lowly in shock as she fell out her chair. The man just chuckled at her tumble. Her cheeks puffed up as she gave him a disapproving glare. Why did some men like to tease her? It wasn’t like people here thought of her as some adult child. No one knew how old she truly was here, though Rydia had a hard time trying to keep up with that herself. The world of the Eidolons had made her much older than she claimed to be. ”I was not daydreaming!” she protested as she rose back to her feet. ”I was just thinking about someone.” She folded her arms and turned her back to him. Unfortunately, such actions caught his interest. He probably was looking to prey on who that someone could be. Unfortunately, the truth was he was right. Not in the mood for more taunting, Rydia quickly exited. She quickly headed for outside, just looking to get some type of fresh air.
A cold wet wind hit her pale cheeks the moment she stepped outside. It was raining again. It rained yesterday and the day before that. Such depressing weather made her miss home even more. How was Cuore getting along without her? Was she playing nice with the other children? Did Asura and Leviathan decide to take her in during Rydia’s absence? The long haired woman leaned against the wet walls of the building as she stared at the rolling clouds, once again lost in thought. A thunder rumbled, bringing Rydia back to her sense. She shook her head as she looked back towards the door. She needed to held back inside before catching cold. After all, she did have new responsibilities to take care of in this world.
