Rhiannon is your very typical girl next door type. She's open-minded about most things and not a loose cannon in most senses. She has a good sense of humour, although slightly dry. Ri is a likeable sort of person, but can be somewhat idealistic. Her sheltered upbringing can sometimes make her slightly naive at times, despite her high level of intellect. It is true that she's outgoing and will get along with most people at least - the only person she's known to really hate is Evelyn Stirling. Always the logical one, she hates pointless conflict, and would much rather sit down and discuss the problem in a calm, collected manner. She does have a temper that could raise the roof on a bad day; however it takes a lot for her to enter into a screaming match with reckless abanon.
Rhia has always been the sporty type - she enjoys friendly competition, and finds it impossible to walk away from anything once the gauntlet has been thrown down. It doesn't always make her the best team player as she becomes focused on winning, and will pay any price - no matter how high - in order to do so. One way to ensure that she will give you a run for your money is to make a differentiation between males and females. Close-minded people are a pet hate of hers, and sexism is something she finds nearly impossible to tolerate.
The mess Northcutt left her in has resulted in her being more guarded than she used to be. Where she used to struggle to express emotions, now she will hide them completely. They are not necessarily a sign of weakness to her, but she certainly believes that a person is stronger without them. Despite this, though, she's nowhere near indestructible. In the end, she's just as human as the next person but she would prefer not to put herself in the same position as with Matthew.
She has, for lack of a better phrase, a fairly high bullshit tolerance. Still slightly rebellious by nature, Ri still does struggle with obedience sometimes, but simply no longer has the heart to rebel. She will put up with a lot from a person, but eventually she will turn around and tell them where they can stick their attitude. Even though her emotions are hidden, they still do exist. She has the habit of forming strong emotional connections. When she does, it's bound to be recklessly with no regard for the consequences. If you earn her respect or friendship, you'll likely have it for life.

[/font][/center]appearance »
Rhiannon has blonde hair and light blue eyes. Her hair is usually up in a ponytail - but when it isn't it reaches to just below her shoulders in slight waves. She is fairly short for a model, at 5'7", but looks taller because of the fact she has long legs. Generally, she has quite a willowy sort of build, which makes her look even taller.
Even though she wasn't brought up in a rich family, three years in the modelling industry has given her a taste for the finer things in life. She does quite like her high-end clothes these days, and rarely leaves the house without at least some make up on. Even though her usual style is just normal jeans and shirts, you can always tell they've cost a pretty penny.

life history »
Rhiannon grew up in Surrey, England. Her family was the typical working-class - her parents had normal working-class jobs, and there was certainly not enough spare money to spoil their only daughter. They were about as far from middle class as one could get, but Rhia still grew up safe and sheltered, in a quiet little town just outside one of the bigger cities. There was one particular family that her parents got along with well there - the Stirlings. When Rhiannon was eight, she met their little girl, also an only child.
The main difference between Rhiannon's and Evelyn's families quickly became apparent. Where Rhiannon's was every bit working class, Evelyn's was a typical middle class family. Not only was Ev spoilt rotten, she was everything Ri was not. After having been provoked quite enough by the little brat, Rhiannon decided to put her in her place - much to Evelyn's parents' disgust. While their parents maintained an uneasy friendship afterwards, it was agreed that Evelyn and Rhiannon should be kept away from each other.
Due to her high level of intelligence, by the time Rhia reached Year 11 of school, she was every teacher's worst nightmare. Lazy and somewhat insolent, she made it impossible for people not to know when she was bored in class. When she was, her favourite activity became winding up the teachers. Despite constantly being sent out of classes or being given detention, Rhiannon was well-liked by the other students, and continued to do well on the academic side of things. Sporty as well, she made it onto several of her house's sports teams, including the hockey team.
After having failed her final exams that would enable her to move into her final year of school, Rhiannon found herself back in Year 11. Now more rebellious and high-strung than ever, she became a constant headache for both teachers and prefects alike - until she met Matthew Northcutt. Ironically, he happened to be in a rival house, but was also the school's head prefect. He was also on his house's opposing hockey team. They soon became fast friends, much to many peoples' disapproval, and slowly Rhiannon began to settle down. Under his careful guidance, she began to excel in hockey as well. Somewhere along the line, she suddenly realised she was hopelessly in love with him, against all better judgement. Unsure what to do, Rhiannon reverted back to her old rebellious ways, despite Northcutt's constant attempts to keep her out of trouble by allowing her to be excused from detentions and the like.
Not long after all of this, Evelyn arrived at the school. Always one for gossip, she was listening out for anything to cause trouble from - and the hottest piece of gossip at that point was the out-of-control Ryder House girl and the head prefect from Chastity. Somehow, she caught wind of the fact that Rhiannon was in love with him, and so set about trying to ruin it. For a while, it seemed as though he was interested in her rival...at least until an anonymous gossip monger posted the entire plan for the whole of the school to see, glossing over the minor detail of Rhia's feelings for Northcutt. The exposure of it only served to push Northcutt and Rhiannon closer together, but slowly; inevitably, the school year began to draw to a close, and with it, Matthew's final year in school.
After graduation, he left almost without a trace. The only reminder of him, the letter addressed to the head master in which he gave his suggestion for the new head prefect, as was tradition at the school. Surprisingly, it was Rhiannon's name - and the teachers took his suggestions to heart. As her last year in school began, this time without Northcutt, she found herself chosen both as head prefect and captain of the Ryder House hockey team - both of which were owed to him.
Despite having promised to keep in touch with her during the year they would be separated, he vanished into thin air afterwards. Rhia sent several letters, but never received a reply from him. Unknown to her fellow students, she spent her last year at the school in utter misery. She settled into her new roles extremely well, but after the realisation that evidently Matthew had no intention of communicating with her, there was always something less about her - everyone could see it.
Somehow, after graduating at 19, Ri found herself funnelled into the modelling industry. Now a successful model, three years later, with a taste for the finer things in life, she is in Addison for a career break, and to get away from the memories that haunt her in England.
