- Some short lived teenager's flirts before the Calamity
- Leih Aliapoh, her first real relationship that lasted for 4 years before imploding violently because of Rhaya's negligence and communication issues
- Haurchefant after the banquet, ended as we know 💀

Rhaya was in a relationship with Leih Aliapoh (from the archer's questline) from shortly after the Calamity until ARR
They broke up on rather bad terms but made up as friends in post-SB

Does your WoL/OC have a crush or a romantic relationship with a non-Scion NPC?
I thought of this question because of people who don't have the typical Scion or MSQ character ships.

Traveling to all the corners of Hydaelyn, both Source and shards (with G'raha and occasionally other friends, maybe a child or two), learning all about its people past and present, transmitting her own stories and experiences to others, no conflict or war ever again

Rhaya was born in the western parts of the Black Shroud, and her tribe moved often, so the specific place she doesn't know nor care about. The whole region was burned in the Calamity, and returning to where her entire tribe died would bring her too much pain, so she doesn't want to

She never brought the subject of the former to any of her friends, and tried to play it cool after the later, but when she woke up in a panic attack after an especially bad nightmare, she was forced to admit that the event had left a deep trauma and opened up about it to her loved ones

Marriage was kind of a foreign concept to her growing up, in the Shroud love is love and people didn't need a ceremony to make things official
Also, even if a woman kept the same mate for her whole life, the men don't usually stay with the tribe all year long
So, no marriage. Unless...?

Vaillante is the black chocobo offered to her by Haurchefant after the trial
Rhaya had already started bonding with her in the stables of Camp Dragonhead after the banquet, so he arranged things to gift her ownership
She's been of great support for Rhaya and her friends ever since

Against large enemies, she uses Dragoon jumping techniques to kinda "fly" around her foes and harass them with quick slashes until she finds a weak spot to exploit. Because of this, Hraesvelgr named her "Skydancer" after his trial, and the name sticked

Rhaya's mamas !!
Zana (on the right) is her biological mother and future family matriarch, and taught her magicks and sciences
Poki (on the left) is an incredibly skilled huntress, and taught her all about foraging in their forest home
They love each other and their daughter very much 🥰

Mikh'a only helped Zana and Poki conceive a child and wasn't involved in raising Rhaya, but he still visited the tribe semi often. Rhaya loved seeing him, but never considered him her parent
His stories of adventures were what first awakened her curiosity to the world beyond the woods

Only people close, but she loves it ! It reminds her of how her sisters would always play with her hair before the Calamity
After she cut it short, Alphinaud, Alisaie and Lyse took turns styling her hair on the boat to Kugane. Her current hairstyle comes from one of those attempts 🤗

Rhaya had been adventuring for 4 years by that point, and she was just traveling to Limsa Lominsa for work
Her Echo had already awakened during the Calamity (Dalamud fragments burning in the atmosphere count as a meteor shower), but it was the first time she heard Hydaelyn's voice since

My "canon" for the event is Rhaya insists that the assault on the Tower of Babil is launched immediately after she wakes up, so she can throw herself in "work" and not think about what happened
If she was forced to wait for a day, she would quickly fall into psychosis
