Oh, hey! Hang on a sec, I'll be right with you.
It's a bit unexpected, to be sure, seeing a cute, petite thing like Rhiannon running an equipment shop, and smithy. However, talk with her for even a few moments, and you'll soon realize that she knows a LOT about what she's doing. Really, it shouldn't be so surprising, in this day and age. After all, anyone, so long as they have the aptitude, can do ANYTHING. Mind, a mind for details, a pair of skilled hands, and a very solid grasp of certain principles hasn't hurt Rhia's odds of success at ALL.
See... she started out wanting to be a mage, but it turned out that that wasn't such an excellent option. There were any number of unsavory rituals involved to being inducted into most of the magical orders, and the benefits did NOT outweigh the potential humiliation, and other problems. That didn't deter her, mind you... it just prompted her to seek another way. And, well, as it happened, she had the courage to go where others wouldn't, and seek knowledge there, in the far east, gaining an unusual understanding of magic, at least as locals see it, as well as numerous other skills besides.
Some seven years after running away from the magic academy, she returned home, an accomplished spellweaver and smith, to set up shop, doing things her way, and incorporating the best of what she'd learned in the process. In the end, it has produced weapons and armor that, while not traditional, are certainly as good as or better than most you'll find. Delicate detail work has added numerous effects beyond the norm, ensuring sharpness and durability beyond that of most swords. However, those are just her special works. Her normal works are just as good, and easier to make, requiring far less time and skill.
Needless to say, her store is well-stocked at this point, and business is booming. Curiously, though, there's some competition, as well. while her work has attracted some interest from nobility and mercenary groups, she can't help but hear comparisons between her work and that of another store, some distance away. Her curiosity, now, has been piqued, and she's preparing to find out just what all the fuss is about... and whether or not the person running it DOES look so much like her...
Pfft. Other little details? Who needs them. Except maybe one... she's 5'6. The rest should be obvious, or found out in RP.
