Rumi



"'Life here should be peaceful, and life after should be perfect.' -Episode 4"

Appearance
Rumi is a tall changeling with long, white, opalescent hair tied back by the bangs, with pieces falling down his face and shoulders. He has softer, more androgynous features, and iridescent eyes with long eyelashes. Protruding from his forehead is a pair of crystal-like horns, the left of which is broken in half. Golden tattoos of the sun and other celestial bodies mark his arms. On one ear is a black and gold earring with a dangling ornament, and his wrists are covered in gold bands. He wears a black, purple, and gold coat with faint blue patterning along the edges and transparent billowing sleeves. Beneath that is a tight, sleeveless shirt with a gold collar, and a black and gold glove on his left hand. Along with that, he wears white dress pants and funky, black thigh-high boots that have gold accents and purple bottoms. Across the back of his coat is the symbol of the solstice sun, struck through with a crescent moon and has celestial patterns around it.

Rumi has a pet named Sunny. Sunny is a 3-tailed fox pup who has a sun pattern across his forehead.

Previous Identities
It is hinted at several times, that Rumi has lived multiple different lives over his years and that he uses these as inspiration for the stories they tell on their travels.

Raoul Leblanc
Before her current form, Rumi took the appearance of a storyteller named Raoul. Raoul was a much taller and more chiseled man, with medium-length black hair that flowed over one of his bright blue eyes. On the opposite eye he wore a silver monocle that attached to his ear like a piercing; and he had facial hair along his cheek that was cut in tiger patterns. He wore a heavy and flowy black overcoat with a purple gradient on the inner fabric, growing more saturated as it went down, and an exaggerated popped collar. Underneath he wore a white striped dress shirt tied at the collar by a pink ribbon, that struggled to stay buttoned around his muscular chest. Around his waist was a belt with a fancily designed holster that carried an ornate sword that looked to be a mix of a katana and knight's sword. He wore laceless leather boots that came up to his knees, and leather pants.

Background/History
Rumi, under his identity as Raoul, was a town hopper and proclaimed "gentleman thief", someone who stole only from those who he believed deserved it. He often shapeshifted, as displayed by his talk with Sunny near the end of Episode 1: Shattered Worlds, Crossing Fates in which he reassured the fox pup that this would be the last time he would change, they then shifted into their present form as Rumi.

For years, she had prepared to steal from an extremely powerful and famous, religious family known as the Holy Family, a group beloved by most people across the country but who had turned a blind eye to the less fortunate. On the Day of Choosing, Rumi, still in their identity as Raoul Leblanc, put this plan into action. He easily managed to sneak through the front gates and past the door of the Holy Family's mansion, after convincing the guards that there was trouble behind Atlouse's cathedral.

He attempted to deceive another guard by pretending to be plague-ridden, when this didn't work he opted to tell the guard his plan instead. The guard then ran into the hallway calling for guards, Rumi taking this opportunity to continue her mission. Rumi eventually managed to get to a barred door in the basement of the mansion. As they entered, they came across a room full of tomes on either side of the statue of a man, standing valiantly with a sword in his sheath. The sword seemed to call to Rumi, and upon taking it, the weapon fused with his other sword and formed a beautiful hooked harp-sword (pictured in his official reference). As he held it, Rumi saw visions of the future- visions of love, pain, hope, and adventures with two other individuals at his side.

He was confronted by one of the sons of the Holy Family, Arboth, but managed to prevent any fights by casting Suggestion to make the son stand down. As he exited, Rumi noticed panic in the Atlouse cathedral, some saying that the high priest had been stabbed. As he made his way up the roof of a building to get a view of the town, he watched chaos began to erupt as he looked down upon his blade, the sky pitch black as if in eternal twilight.
