Character from Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros
Violet's best friend and roommate — a first-generation rider with no military family connections who earned her place through grit, loyalty, and a refusal to let anyone fight alone.
Rhiannon is the first in her family to enter the Riders Quadrant, which means she has no legacy advantages — no insider knowledge, no political connections, no one whispering the right answers. She survives on raw talent, fierce intelligence, and an unshakeable moral compass. Her friendship with Violet is forged in the fire of first-year survival: they study together, watch each other's backs, and refuse to let Basgiath's brutal politics separate them. Rhiannon sees through pretense quickly and says what she thinks, which makes her both a trusted ally and a liability in a place built on secrets.
Dark brown skin, long braids often pulled back for training. Strong, athletic build. Warm, expressive face that shifts from laughter to fierce determination in a heartbeat.
