The Story of Trails - Rixia - We’re back with the Story of Trails, this time looking at one of my favourite characters in the entire series, Rixia Mao.
Rixia was born in the Calvard Republic, a land that, for the most part, we know very little about. But she represents a character who is forced down a path that she never chose, inheriting a century old lineage as a legendary assassin. However, upon coming to Crossbell she begins to change, finding a path of her own.
During a long term contract with an Eastern syndicate, Rixia finds a light in the darkness by performing on stage at a famous theatre, buoyed and motivated by someone she now see’s as her radiant sun. Initially in awe of this famous performer, Rixia works tirelessly as both assassin and actress, struggling to choose between what she is compelled to do, and what she wants to do.
Rixia may not have as tragic a past as some other characters in the Trails Series, but her story is unique in that it shows someone who feels forced to walk down a way of shadow without any sign of an escape route. It’s scary to think that had Rixia not arrived in Crossbell at this time, she may have stayed this path till her death.
In light of this brilliant character, today in our ‘The Story of Trails’ series we’ll be delving into the background of Rixia Mao, and recounting her steps through the Trails Universe. So sit back, relax, and let’s enjoy another dose of Trails Series lore!
