Ryia Ward

History
From a small house of no importance, Ryia had grown up with her elder brother, she was the only girl. At the tender age of ten, her eldest brother left to join the King’s Army at twenty. From then on, Ryia grew up trying to match her brother’s memory. Her mother was a seamstress to the royals, who was always moving her family around. Despite her marriage with her husband, Lucille was simply a whore. Her mother had slept with numerous others, royals being most of them. Ryia’s father was a blacksmith. He had his suspicions of his wife disgracing their marriage, but when Ryia was born, they were solidified. From a family of blondes, Ryia was the only brunette. Having enough of her father’s hatred of the possibilities that she was a bastard, at the age of eighteen, she left to join the Dragon Riders. After the first year of training, she had received Ohen as an egg, for that reason, her dragon was extremely protective of the female. Now at nineteen, Ryia is a member of the Dragon Riders and helps train the King’s dragons. She hopes to lead alongside Baelfire as a senior Dragon Rider and to protect anything that needs help.
