Reyka

Once a father, once a merchant. Now simply a tired man, that hides his face behind the mask with amethyst crystals that looks like horns, and a mask of calm.
Reyka prefers to be alone, remembering the past and living a slow, peaceful life in the middle of the forest. Once you ask for help, he might offer a hand, just don't be too greedy with your desires. He's a good listener and might be a good friend, if you are the right person.

From childhood, he was familiar with trade and money, having been raised by his father as a merchant. They often moved from place to place, and Ray longed to see the world, until an accident left him alone at the age of sixteen. He was forced to live like a squirrel in a wheel, working odd jobs here and there without the prospect of official employment or trade. However, when he finally reached adulthood and saved enough money, he decided to continue his father's business, delivering exotic and domestic goods from town to town, meeting different people and enjoying the sights the world had to offer, often thinking of his father. Until one day, he met a beautiful girl, a farmer's daughter named Evelyn, with whom he fell in love at first sight. He immediately realized that no commodity could compare to the value of her glance or smile, and decided to settle down for a while, trying to attract her attention and her heart.
Fortunately, they were well-suited to each other and began spending more time together. Ray settled permanently in the city, finding work and helping her with the farm as best he could, even finding a hobby in carving wooden figures and utensils. Another four years passed, and he already knew many people in the small town where Evelyn was born, and finally received her parents' permission to marry, a marriage he spared no expense.

They weren't particularly wealthy, but they lived very, very happily, sharing their own little house on the outskirts of town with a garden in the yard. Ray set up his own shop selling home-grown vegetables and other goods he could craft from wood. They had a beautiful daughter, Lily, who inherited her mother's hair and her father's eyes. It was a truly happy time, one he'll never forget, especially after what happened... one day, bandits infiltrated the town, and by the time the guards dealt with them, many people had already died, including Evelyn, and their daughter had disappeared.
It was a real blow to Ray. He cried uncontrollably, holding his wife's cold body in his arms until the morning, still unable to find his daughter. When Evelyn's father came to him and learned everything, they decided to hold a funeral—not elaborate, but heartfelt. Her lifeless body was carefully placed in a makeshift coffin and buried in her parents' yard.
Much time had passed since then. Evelyn's father, now alone, had assured Ray to continue moving forward, as that was what she would have wanted, and he himself had taken to drinking every night while her daughter's husband had once again become a traveling merchant. Keeping the three closest people to him in his heart and mind, he continued his family's work, visiting many more places, now wearing a mask that helped him not feel the pressure in his chest at every thought of those who were no longer with him. He promised himself one thing: that he would find his daughter, even if he had to search every nook and cranny of the world. He needed to know that his daughter was alive, or at least find her body so he could arrange a funeral. But the thought that she might be dead always filled his heart with grief and fear.
