Editing Beyond crisis ABF:Reika (section)

==Description==
Reika is from a homestead in northern Helenia. Her immediate family was killed by raiders a number of years ago, and she barely escaped, tearing herself from a knife pinning hand to tree with a burst of more strength than her childish frame could generate. An uncle in 'the south' (ie the area around Farna) reluctantly took her in, but the relationship was always strained due to disapproval of her mother's choice of husband, Reika's diminished ability to contribute to the farm due to injury, and the weird stuff that 'just happened' around her, especially when upset. When the pox swept through the village, her cousin's death and her recovery made things worse. Reika went out hunting small game a lot to get away and progressively built up her control over her unusual abilities.

Reika is determined to get revenge and start building a life for herself away from her abusive relatives, and sees joining up with mercenaries flocking to the province as a good way to do both, despite its risk.
Life on Candy Planet isn't for the faint of heart.
