When she came of age, Rhaya received this talisman from her grandmother, the tribe's Matriarch, on behalf of all the tribe After the Calamity, it is the only memento she has left of her family, and she never takes if off #Rhayalore 🌕 Art by @greenleafo.bsky.social and @winterleigh.bsky.social 🥰

Throwing the Evercold fit here before disappearing in the Fire Emblem mines (patiently waiting tomorrow to get my copy of FW 😴) ⚠️Slight spoiler for 7.56⚠️ #FFXIV #GPose #OneGlamAWeek number 59 (more like one glam a year at this point 😅)

Storm😼 @hellsxstorm.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Glad to see that Robin will be slaying as always 🙏 Rhaya is a bit more wary of the cold 🥶

Storm😼 @hellsxstorm.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

I want to participate but that's the closest thing I have to WolExarch 😭 They didn't get together until much later and there wasn't really any romantic tension between them in Shadowbringers (except some crumbs during the end of 5.3)

Storm😼 @hellsxstorm.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

I am completely normal about Rhaya with slit pupils 🥹

Storm😼 @hellsxstorm.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

Also quick and dirty edit but I can see this becoming Rhaya's new hairstyle, retroactively changing somewhere between EW and DT 🤔

Storm😼 @hellsxstorm.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

Canon outfits ! Finally got around to cement one "canon" outfit for Rhaya for each expansion, more lore in alt text ⚠️Slight spoiler warning on the last picture for 7.56 outfit⚠️ #Rhayapose #Rhayalore (also I noticed too late I fucked up the advanced dyes of the HW shoulders, but my sub ran out 😩)

Mikh'a only helped Zana and Poki conceive a child and wasn't involved in raising Rhaya, but he still visited the tribe semi often. Rhaya loved seeing him, but never considered him her parent His stories of adventures were what first awakened her curiosity to the world beyond the woods #Rhayalore

010

Storm😼 @hellsxstorm.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

Poki was more hotheaded. It is her who taught Rhaya to hunt, and as Rhaya became adult their relationship evolved into more of a strong friendship than a typical parent/child bond They still loved each other with all their hearts, but treated each others and acted as equals in their activities

000

Storm😼 @hellsxstorm.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

Zana was very intellectually and spiritually inclined, and it was her who taught Rhaya how to read, buying story books to passing merchants. Rhaya loved her more than anything in the world She was also the most emotionally available, and was always there for her when Rhaya got sad or upset

Cleared the Forked Tower and Occult Crescent just before the end of my sub 🙏 Now to wait for Fortune's Weave 🥺

To a world assaulted by Light, she travelled #FFXIV #GPose #Rhayapose

My WoL Rhaya just after she arrived on the First, she's shielding her eyes from the light with a hand and wincing, her ears flatened and pointing backward, the pupils of her eyes reduced to a narrow slit

Always late to those but here she is 🫣 #GPose #Rhayapose

Vaillante is the black chocobo offered to her by Haurchefant after the trial Rhaya had already started bonding with her in the stables of Camp Dragonhead after the banquet, so he arranged things to gift her ownership She's been of great support for Rhaya and her friends ever since #Rhayalore

Storm😼 @hellsxstorm.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

This tree looks so fucked up 💀 For context, Mikh'a fathered Rhaya BEFORE falling in love with Yohah, and their relationship is why Zana and Poki didn't ask him to also father their second child #Rhayalore

My WoL Rhaya's family tree

On top is Rhaya's grandmother, the family matriarch
Below are two of her daughters (out of 4 total), Zana and Yohah, with their respective partners, Poki and Mikh'a
Zana and Poki being two women, they had to ask men to father their children, Rhaya and Hnaba. The sperm donors are linked to each woman with dotted lines. Rhaya is Zana's biological daughter, with Mikh'a as the donor. Hnaba is Poki's biological daughter, with an unnamed man as the donor
Yohah and Mikh'a also have a daughter, Thya

Storm😼 @hellsxstorm.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

Poki lived in a small lakeside village, envious of the nomadic ways of the tribes coming in to trade. In her youth, she spent most of her time hunting in the forest, dreaming of leaving the village to travel someday. As soon as she became adult, she eloped with Zana's tribe to finally live her dream

Poki, a miqo'te woman with pale skin, stripes on her forehead, and light pink hair. She wears a long green tunic with leather protection and metallic plates on her forearms. She is crouching on a tree branch, hidden by foliage, her bow at the ready, observing her target

Storm😼 @hellsxstorm.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

Zana is the eldest daughter of the Garanjy family, living with her mother and 3 younger sisters, as well as another family, forming their nomadic tribe. They moved around the West Shroud for as long as she can remember. She is gifted with magicks, a gift nurtured in preparation to becoming Matriarch

Zana, a miqo'te woman with dark grey skin and black hair. She wears white paint on her face, a blue and black dress with ornate embroideries, and silver jewelry. She is sitted on her knees in a red tent, hands resting on her thighs and looking straight ahead

Storm😼 @hellsxstorm.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

And her papa, Mikh'a ! He is a childhood friend of both Poki and Zana, and is the reason they met in the first place. When the two woman asked him for help to get a child, he gladly accepted An adventurer by trade, he visits the tribe regularly to spend time with his friends and his daughter !

Rhaya, a miqo'te child with grey skin and black hair with pink braids on the side, sits atop her father's shoulders.
Mikh'a is a miqo'te man with grey skin and dark brown hair, wearing lightly armored adventuring gear

Rhaya's mamas !! Zana (on the right) is her biological mother and future family matriarch, and taught her magicks and sciences Poki (on the left) is an incredibly skilled huntress, and taught her all about foraging in their forest home They love each other and their daughter very much 🥰 #Rhayalore

Three miqo'tes walk hand in hand in a forest. In the middle, Rhaya, a child with grey skin and black hair with pink braids on the sides, holds her mothers' hands while frolicking happily.
On the right is Zana, her biological mother, a woman with dark grey skin and black hair, wearing an ornate black and blue dress (or is it gold and white ?) held by an orange leather belt, and bejewelled sandals.
On the left is Poki, her other mother, a woman with pale skin and pink hair, wearing a long green tunic with leather protections and metallic plates on her forearms and shins.

It's time to say goodbye to the boat... until next time 🎆 #GPose #Grhaya #Wolgraha

My WoL Rhaya and G'raha Tia, sitting huddled against one another in swimsuits, looking at fireworks in the distance

My WoL Rhaya leaning in to kiss G'raha Tia, with fireworks going off in the background illuminating them with colorful lights

I couldn't stop thinking about this while posing this one 🤣

A zoomed out version of the second picture. In the background we can see Zhloe and Khloe Aliapoh with T'kebbe. An arrow points towards Zhloe saying "Responsible big sister", while another arrow points towards Rhaya saying "Not so responsible big sister"

What's the point of the pool if not throwing your little sister in it when she least expect it ? 😈 #GPose

Thya, my WoL Rhaya's little sister, relaxing on a chair by the pool on the Queen Lhaminn. An ominous shadow looms over her

Rhaya has picked up Thya and is jumping in the pool while grinning. Thya is trying to wrestle herself free and is shouting at her sister

Both sisters are now in the pool, and Thya is glaring daggers at Rhaya, who pokes Thya's nose to further taunt her

Thya has climbed on Rhaya's shoulder and is pushing with her all weight to try and sink her. Rhaya is laughing openly, resisting her sister's assault with little efforts

Storm😼 @hellsxstorm.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

Crystal clear waters, the sun on my skin, a soft sea breeze, and you by my side... Oh how I wish these moments could last forever ! #GPose #Grhaya #Wolgraha

Congratulations 🥳 And thank you for the opportunity !! Trying my luck with my WoL Rhaya

Storm😼 @hellsxstorm.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

Throwing my WoL your way, might as well try my luck 🫣 Also would you be willing to work with a custom design for a swimsuit or do you want only vanilla in-game glams ? (sliding you this for (un)related reasons : bsky.app/profile/gree...)

Also managed to make it to #grahaap just in time to witness an Exarch dressup challenge ? Or something like that 😄 So many cool ideas for as many beautiful glams 🥰

Thank you @wolgrahaweek.bsky.social for the guided tour of the Crystal Tower and then the absolute walloping by Scylla ! It was a lot of fun ❤️

At that's a wrap on #wolgrahaweek2026 ! I'm so happy to have managed to do something for each day, and kinda proud of each of my entries ☺️ #GPose #Grhaya #Wolgraha #wolgrahaweek

Two miqo'tes, G'raha Tia and my WoL Rhaya, are laying in the grass, partially under the shadow of palm trees. G'raha is sleeping, an open book held on his stomach and a smile on his face, while Rhaya strokes his hair, her head propped up by her hand, her own face close to his

"The future is where my destiny awaits. But yours lies outside of these doors" #wolgrahaweek2026 day 6 - Greetings/Goodbyes #GPose #Grhaya #Wolgraha #wolgrahaweek

A picture of G'raha Tia and my WoL Rhaya, separated by the Crystal Tower's door, just after G'raha locked himself inside
His right hand is placed flat on the door, his left hand clamped into a fist, looking sad but resolute. His eyes are hidden by his hair
On the other side of the door, Rhaya has her right hand also flat against the door and her left hand into a fist, but this time it is raised and against the door, as if she just hit it. The hand hides her eyes, but a tear can be seen dropping from her face

"A new adventure together. Unlike any we've experienced before" #wolgrahaweek2026 day 5 - Adventure/Relaxation #GPose #Grhaya #Wolgraha #wolgrahaweek

A picture of a wood-panelled wall, covered with various framed pictures, as well as a drawer with yet more pictures and some other stuff. On the wall, two shadow silhouettes are also visible, of a miqo'te holding another one's hand, seemingly Rhaya pulling G'raha while running towads their next adventure.
The frames hold pictures of Rhaya and G'raha Tia. In the middle, the largest picture is of the Scions, the day of their official disbandment. Around it, there are pictures of the two during some of their newest adventures, including in Ishgard, the Cieldales, the Omphalos, Tuliyollal, Solution 9 and Auxesia

After G'raha transferred his soul and memories into the Soul Vessel, and his body was completely consumed by the Tower, Rhaya hugs the "statue" of crystal, holding on tight to the vessel containing the whole of her dear friend, eyes closed and tears rolling down her cheeks

A two part edited screenshot of FFXIV, cut in the middle by the Crystal Tower in the distance
On the left, the Crystal Exarch stands in Lakeland, hood up and allagan staff in hand, gazing at the tower. The castle of Laxan Loft visible to his left, the Lightwardens' light setting the sky ablaze
On the right, Rhaya, Warrior of Light, stands in Mor Dhona in her battle gear, spear in hand, also gazing at the tower. To her right, the carcasses of Midgardsormr and the Agrius stand silent in the midst of Silvertear Lake, beneath a slightly overcast blue sky
A thin red thread, tied to their pinky finger, connects them across the picture's divide, a symbol of their connection through the tower

"The Warrior of Light's tale is one of unyielding bravery. To tell it was to feel courage; to hear it was to feel hope" #wolgrahaweek2026 day 2 - Truth/Fiction #GPose #Grhaya #Wolgraha #wolgrahaweek

In the far future, after Black Rose ushered in the 8th Umbral Era, G'raha Tia stands in the ruins of Fortemps manor, looking up to a massive painting of Rhaya, Warrior of Light and Slayer of Nidhogg.
He stands in the shadow, while a pale ray of moonlight shines on the painting from the damaged roof, illuminating Rhaya's face. He holds out his hand, as if trying to reach the painting. Rubbles are littering the floor around him.
The portrait is highly idealized, showing Rhaya in a gold and blue armor, holding a golden spear and a shield bearing the coat of arms of House Fortemps, in the same pose Halone is often depicted in. In the background, stained glass like the ones found in Saint Reymanaud's Cathedral cast colorful glints on her armor

Storm😼 @hellsxstorm.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

Did I rewrite a part of Rhaya's backstory because of a character we've seen 5 seconds in a trailer ? 🫥 Did I do it to add some angst ? 🫣 Did I give her some more trauma in the process ? 🙂 (I'm sorry, I can't help it with the tragic backstories 😭)
