When she was only seven months old, Rhiannon was discovered to be a potential Slayer. She was taken from her small home in London by a member odf the Watchers Council. They killed her sitter and set the house on fire, making it look like a demon attack. Her assigned Watcher, Nigel Heston, raised her on his own, training her from the day she could hold a stake.Sample RP:
When she was thirteen she asked him, thinking he was her father, what had happened to her mother. It was then that Nigel told her the truth. Her emotions overcame her and she inadvertantly set fire to the training room. Since then Nigel was careful to not let her get too overly emotional.
She went to a public school and then to a small country university. She graduated with a degree in History and is certified to teach the subject.
She knows of her surviving family but does not try to see them as it would be too painful on everyone. She has, however met her cousin, Katherine when she came to Wales looking for kin. She keeps tabs on the younger girl, just in case.
~~Addendum to Rhiannon's History~~
Rhiannon lived in the countryside with Nigel all her life. She was 21 years old when he informed her one day that ...(While practicing)
Nigel: Your hour is past, child. The next generation has been born."
Rhi: "What's that mean? I'm never going to be The Slayer?"
Nigel: "No, child. I'm afraid not."
Rhi: (Throwing down her weapon): "Well then, I quit!"
Nigel: "You cannot."
Rhi: "And why not?!"
Nigel: "Because this is who you are. What will you do if you quit? Go to America, find your family and insert yourself into their life? I do not see that happening."
Rhi: "Well, then, what do I do?"
Nigel: "You continue on. You may not be the Slayer but you have the knowledge of one, and you *are* strong..."
Rhi: (interrupting):"Not as strong as the Slayer."
Nigel: "There will always only be One.".....
Rhiannon finally conceeded to Nigel and kept up with her training, keeping the streets of London safer from the evil that dwelt there.
"Rhiannon, you cannot. I refuse to let you." said the older man.
"Sorry but I have to." she replied in her deepened accent. "I'm not a child anymore and I have the power. I've been called."
"I haven't heard anything from the council. It has to be a spell of some kind. A hoax."
"Be still Nigel. You'll have another heart attack. I'm only going to see what's going on."
"But you'll be walking right into the center of evil."
"Bloomingdales?"
"Sunnydale!"
"Oh, yes. I know it's the Hellmouth and everything, but honestly. Don't you think that an entire life of training has made me prepared?"
Nigel slumped down in his chair. "We didn't take you only to have you walk away from us, Rhi. We wanted you to be safe."
"Yes, Nigel. I understand. You thought demons were out to destroy the council and all the watchers and their families. Knowing my father you knew he'd have wanted me taken care of, especially after finding out my true identity." She sighed. "I've heard it all before. And I'm still going."
"Very well. If you must. But I warn you. There will be more than just vampires in Sunnydale. Demons, witches, both good and bad.... it's all there, Rhi... Just be careful."
Rhiannon walked over to the highbacked chair and gently kissed the old man on the forehead. "You've been my family since I could remember. You alone. I wont forget you.. and I'll come back."
walking away, Rhiannon knew the old man wouldn't live to see her return. The doctors called it terminal, she called it a curse.
