Rina Von

In spite of her mild, serene temperament and cultured vibe that's similar to Valentine's, Rina Von is, in actuality, a total outdoorsy person who loves traveling and has always thought of finding the wonders of foreign places as one of her life goals. In her opinion, having a long bath after a day of sightseeing and admiring sceneries is basically the best way to have a holiday. Sadly, her never-ending workload has caused her to postpone her much-anticipated travel plans over and over again as she comforts herself with all kinds of excuses. On the bright side, her job scope in the Citadel does fit her passion, so at least it isn't all that miserable.

Rina Von, as a mature adult with an extraordinary temperament, is the object of Fenia's fascination. The girl's instinctive tailing behavior had, for a time, made Rina Von think she was being stalked, which sparked off a little chaos in the Citadel at the time. Thankfully, the misunderstanding was quickly resolved, and facing the slightly uneasy Fenia, Rina Von proposed a deal—she would teach Fenia "the self-restraint of adults" in exchange for the right to rub the cheeks of the girl, who was constantly following her around, as a unique destressing method.

Since the first month Rina Von joined the Citadel, she had been drawing up vacation plans for "when she took a break from work," but this wish still had yet to fully come true even after she registered and became part of the Eternal's crew. Although she did get to travel a few times during some short breaks, they all either required her to work remotely, be continuously on calls, or the Citadel would summon her back urgently before she even arrived at her destination. She no longer even remembers when was the last time she went on a real holiday.

Her friends had provided Rina Von suggestions, hoping she could learn to say no and speak out when she had too much on her plate... but she remained swamped with work despite putting these suggestions to practice, probably because she just had too strong a sense of responsibility.

"At the end of the day, the Citadel's work is endless, and the operation of a 'Save-the-World' organization is also incredibly complex. To fulfill my dream of becoming a Fabricate scribe and to make use of m-my value as an undergraduate... I have to work even harder!"

"But keep working overtime, and you'll die before your dreams are realized, young one."

After Rebis bluntly pointed that out, Rina Von began studying all types of health supplements, tonics, and even the recently trending "Urban Beauty Professional Healthcare Set" when she wasn't working. Apparently, one pill of it, and you'll be brimming with energy enough to get back to work.

Compared with the other crew members who work full-time for the Eternal, Rina Von is partly responsible for her own stress. To illustrate, if there isn't much difference in salaries, the majority of people will likely choose the more relaxing job with more days off, but Rina Von tenaciously refuses to resign from the Citadel and would rather spend all that effort going back and forth.

Just what is it about the Citadel's work that she can't bear to leave behind? Most people won't understand it, but this is self-evident for the others in the Citadel. The pursuit of knowledge, rescuing others, and keeping the fire of hope alive for the world all sound conceptual but are, in fact, the ultimate goals of a significant number of people in the Citadel; Rina Von is no exception.

Aside from clerical work, she will also leave Senanonic to go on combat missions as a member of the Destroyer from time to time. Combat missions are not only tough but also extra dangerous. However, this helps Rina Von understand what and who exactly her work is for. Whenever she sees the lives of people who got help becoming better and better and the wounded rescued from dangerous regions gradually recovering, it fills her with motivation to keep doing what she does.

If just the effort of one person is sufficient to make such tremendous changes in the world around her, Rina Von reckons she's all right with working this way all her life! But from her friends' perspective, they likely still hope that she can rest awhile before jumping back to work.
