R&D Two: Rilla Manco
You spend so much time asking questions that you forget to listen for the answer.
Name: Dr. Rilla Manco
Age: 38
Gender: Female
Division: Research & Development
Time with SHADR: About a year and six months. She began working for SHADR only a few short weeks after— well, that's for another time.
Citizenship: British
Education: B.S. in Biological Sciences (Northwestern University)
Ph.D, Archaeology (University of Cambridge)
Appearance: Rilla Manco has been assured she is more than beautiful, but the compliment and those like it have lost their edge on her. What she pictured as flattering and blushworthy has become tedious and unnecessary. Dr. Manco has long since been married to her work. She hasn't kept up with fashion trends as often as she used to, leaving most of the clothes in her closet to become well-worn favorites instead of new and daring attire. The waxing of her eyebrows into pencil thins lines has been given up, and along with that Rilla has finally let her dark brown hair grow out, no longer in the phase of spiting her parents by chopping the wavey length short. As of recently, she also finally relented to using contacts. Rilla has always been on the short side at 5'3", but there's nothing to blame but genetics on that one. The goddess says she'd look better decked out in gold and gems but that's just gaudy.
Personality: For someone who works with million-year-old fossils, Rilla has always been naturally clumsy. She isn't sure quite what started it—maybe too small of an inner ear or the fact she quit ballet within one year of starting. She never was a fan of any sort of sport, more of a bookworm, which wasn't much of a surprise to either of her parents who both have their own PhDs. What was a surprise was the major, but Rilla isn't one to be trifled with. Her tolerance for criticism and rejection is rather high, both in academics and dating. She does not get rattled by argument easily and can find fun in a spirited debate for most subjects. Her stress levels seem to have tripled in the past few years, leaving her a bit distracted and skittish at times, but that isn't something most can blame her for.
Metahuman Abilities: Due to a... misstep in her research, Rilla has become bonded to a "goddess." Despite her constant disbelief and cynicism, Rilla has been gifted with the knowledge of past civilizations and ability to decipher and speak in ancient languages. She also occasionally has played with the idea of telekinesis given to her through her bond, but it isn't something she is very good nor accurate at yet.
