hey, Thanks!!

I've always felt that Rhania as a character must come from a humble, folksy background.
I let her father speak in a "thick vulpine dialect" in chapter two, hinting at a background as an immigrant.
So when I did the theme, I thought of guitar and flute because they are portable instruments with a folk-like quality to them.
I also wanted to let the rural simplicity shine through, so unlike Snowy, she has very few "expensive" chords to her theme.

Rhania was very much attached to her brother, and his death has left a scar of sadness that doens't quite heal, so the theme alternates between minor and major keys all the time, as if she carries a touch of sadness with her all the time.

The harpsichord was not planned at all, because I didn't feel that it reflected her rural background. I intended the piece to be guitar and flute only, but the instruments were too soft and rounded - I needed something to add that crispy timbre.

Rhania goes through A LOTover the course of the story, and her theme would not fit in as a soundtrack at all times, e.g. it would feel out of place when she's in jail or travelling with Arbinger. But I wanted it to feel at ease when she's introduced in chapter two, and the reader goes "yeah, that theme makes sense", but also at the conslusion of the story when she is a fully developed "seer".
