Creature of Fable 0 - Same as default Rinley, which means she is on Frantic.

Called Away 3 Rinley was created to guard the thing trapped under the shrine, and so her life has been spent pulled towards that strange and surreal land of the Shrine Beneath. It’s a lot like the surreality of Bluebell Park, but with subtle differences in its Properties:

Emotions must have a tangible impact on the world.

People must honor customs and forms.

Events must repeat themselves until something transformative happens.

The sea must be tranquil.

Everyone has a role to play.

A terrible power sleeps here. 

Being so attuned to this place, Rinley has found herself connected to the Estate of The Lies That Keep You Going, sometimes occasionally reworded as “The Lies That Make Life Worth Living”. They include such silly things like “mercy” or “belief” or “love”, and Rinley is positive that those kinds of things can be spread via stories and legends!

She is metaphysically tied to a shadowy being, who, of course, is Iolithae Septimian, the dread thing trapped under the shrine. Once, when they were sitting together and Iolithae was combing Rinley’s hair, the kind Deceiver said that Rinley was destined to go on grand adventures and do great deeds. But that was a while ago, and Rinley hasn’t been back since.

Rinley has a variety of powers due to her connection to The Shrine Beneath - she can call upon the edges of that world, flooding the place she is currently in with its properties. She can show up as a spirit whenever her name is spoken or whenever there’s a story to be told, and she’s extremely lucky at times. Locks and doors can’t keep her out, and sometimes they even spring open for her.

There are strange treasures buried beneath the earth that Rinley can call upon, and she can even mimic the Titov family magic by pulling up whoever or whatever she needs occasionally. She can shape the world of the Shrine Beneath, and sometimes she can shape people or items into a form more fitting of that world - usually as a bound but powerful being.

And she can bestow the touch of the Lies That Keep Us Going upon people, comforting them with the inspiration that can keep them, well, going. This usually bestows upon them an Issue of Vice, because even though it helps them in the moment, too much of a good thing can be... not a good thing.
