~ Psychological Profile ~
Personality: First and foremost, Rianne is the type of person without any manners. She has little care for what people think and even less care to try to please them. Most people that meet her get the impression that she’s the shy and quiet type, but a few minutes in her presence reveals that to be extremely wrong. She’s about as bold as you can get, and while she can be very rude, ultimately she does want the best for those around her.
And this is no secret, but she’s kind of an idiot.
Likes:
+All food
+Smoking and drinking
+Loud concerts
+Hoarding useless junk
+Picking on people
+Practical jokes
Dislikes:
-Wasting things
-Indecisiveness
-Really hot/cold weather
-Loners
-People who can’t take a joke
-People who mumble
Strengths: Rianne is adept at adapting to different social situations to get what she wants, although her bull-headedness sometimes gets in the way of that.
Fears: Needles.
Hobbies: In her spare time, she enjoys playing games, watching movies, basketball, and playing tabletop games with her friends.
Secrets: Rianne is a bit of a kleptomaniac, though she claims that it’s an impulse that can’t be helped.
Outlook on Life: Do whatever you want, really. Just make sure it won’t come back to bite you in the ass, though.
Affiliation: Warriors of Divine Light
Moral Alignment: Chaotic Good
~ Combat Profile ~
+Wings of Faith: Rianne summons a pair of brilliant wings behind her, allowing her to create bursts of speed or make leaps over great distances rather than true flight. The wings are quite resilient and can work as a makeshift shield for up to two people, including herself.
She can swipe her wings in any direction to unleash a barrage of golden feathers that pierces through her enemies. If they strike a demon, the feathers burst into light, disorienting them and scorching their bodies with radiant energy.
+Chains of the Warden: A swarm of ethereal chains rise from the earth, seeking out targets of Rianne’s choosing. Anything that is bound by these chains cannot phase, teleport, turn invisible, or change forms. Along with being physically restrained, of course.
The chains can also be used as weapons, lashing out like powerful metal whips against her foes. If they strike or bind a summoned entity, the chains release a pulse of energy that banishes it back to whence it came.
+Storm Shield: Rianne summons a holy barrier that is resistant to physical damage and the first type of energy that hits it - the more the shield is exposed to that same energy type, the stronger it becomes. Any other magic or elements that assault the barrier are able to wear it down with enough pressure. Substantial physical power will also shatter the barrier.
This can be cast as a mobile barrier around a single target (Medium-Energy), as a temporal ring of energy (Low-Energy), or as an object such as a wall or dome (High-Energy). If it’s a large object, she can move the barrier around in short increments, otherwise small barriers can usually be carried like shields.
Minor Abilities:
-Purification: Rianne generates a brilliant sphere of light that passively heals injuries and dispels harmful magic near it. She can command the light to pulsate, dispersing magical darkness and temporarily blinding her foes.
-Imbue: Rianne reinforces an object with divine energy. Imbued objects have significantly greater durability and kinetic impact. If sufficient force is exerted in an attack, a shockwave of light erupts outwards, able to knock away foes or pulverize them into the ground depending on the direction of the strike.
-Valor: Rianne creates an aura around her that grants nearby allies improved resistance against physical strikes and the power to remain standing after receiving blows that would normally blow them away or knock them out.
Special Ability:
>Blessing of the High Priestess: By channeling her energy, Rianne can temporarily grant a nearby ally one additional minor ability.
Equipment:
[Weapon: War Staff] This silvered staff is surprisingly dangerous at close range, able to deliver blunt force with its flat side or slash through foes with the bladed wings adorning the head. Because it is an item attuned to holy magic, she can cast any spell with at least the reach of her staff rather than her hand.
[Weapon: Handgun] It’s emblazoned with the insignia of the WDL to make it look more official, but otherwise it’s only slightly more effective against demons. She’s not a great shot with this thing, so it’s mostly for emergencies.
[Armor: Priestess Robes] These robes offers only slight protection from physical attacks, but they have a natural resistance against many magical effects.
[Holy Items] Vials of holy water, cases of purifying salt, packs of incense, a holy bible, and a spray can for painting sealing circles. She usually wears a pair of silver cross earrings when on duty as well.
[Other] Rianne usually has her wallet, phone, and house keys in her bag. She also keeps a whistle and some first-aid on her person.
Minor Skills:
[Veteran] Rianne isn’t immune to fear or exhaustion, but she’s made it a habit to maintain her composure and keep a sharp eye out for trouble.
[Aikido] While she is certainly no brawler, she can knock aggressive fighters flat on their backs even if they’re well trained if they aren’t careful.
[Driving] She's amazing behind the wheel, though her recklessness tends to make people second-guess her abilities.
[Acting and Singing] She always was a theater kid at heart.
[Ukulele] For some reason she knows how to play one?

~ Miscellaneous ~
Biography: Rianne was always something of an adventurer and a troublemaker. She was a bully on the elementary school playground, a club leader in middle school, and a dropout in high school. She barely scraped by with a GED, deciding that she had far better things to do with her time, like drinking profusely and hanging out with awful people.
In the middle of a little joyride with her friends one night, she ran into something particularly unpleasant - a throng of lesser demons tearing apart a soon-to-be corpse. She'd known about them vaguely, but this was her first real run-in with them. Ignoring the shrill screams and pleas of her friends, she inhaled sharply and floored the gas with her gaze dead-set on the creatures before her, steering expertly to pulverize two of them before they could move out of the way. It was a very instinctive and short-sighted move, of course - as she tried to back up, the remaining demons were able to latch onto the car and break its windows, tearing the doors from their hinges with a metal shriek that matched their own.
Rianne could only save herself in this situation. She clambered through the broken front windshield, scarring herself in various places as she dove through the shattered glass. WDL members dropped in quickly and secured the location, but by the time the demons had been killed, so had her friends. The presence of the two dead demons piqued curiosity among one of the senior members and Rianne was questioned afterwards after being taken into their custody.
Now, it's been about seven years since they've taken her under their wing and Rianne has placed herself neatly in their ranks of their 1st class members, if just barely. That night haunts her to this day and the only thing that brings her solace is to make the world a safer place by driving out the things that turned her life upside down in just a few minutes.
