I'm running round in circles
Going places I go everyday
Don't wanna be here anymore
I've got no reasons left to stay
If only I could find the things I miss
There must be some place
Where there's more to life than this
I will search no more
I will search no more
'Cause it's you that I've been looking for
In the land of the living, there's a key
In the land of the living, to open me
In the land of the living, I will search no more
'Cause it's you that I've been looking for
In the land of the living, there's a key
In the land of the living, to open me
In the land of the living, I will search no more
'Cause it's you that I've been looking for
In the land of the living
Land of the Living-Milk Inc.

Known History
This is a work in progress and where I can work on it at work when e-mail isn't an option ;-) Her entire history to date can be found at Ronyo Cruxis History
Basic Timeline:
Born: July 4, 1935
A Time of Innocence: Ronyo was born on July 4, 1935 to Keith and Marcia Rifkin as Stephanie Estelle Rifkin. Her twin sister, Sherry Elaine Rifkin and her were taken into Arcadia while playing hide-and-seekin a woodland area near their California home one summer afternoon about 10 minutes from the base in San Diego. What the twins know of their past is fractured and one will remember some pieces of their past that the other does not. What they have been able to piece together is that they remember growing up somewhere in California in the 1940's by fashion trends they remember, their father was in the US Navy amd mom stayed home with the twins and their newborn baby brother and July 4th has some importance to them but they are not sure why.
The Birth of Kit-Her Kidnapping: November 1942 (awaiting approval)
She remembers playing outside, hide-and-seek with her sister (name of PC tie-in) when HE showed up wanting to show her a better hiding place, if only she knew where he was taking her. Ronyo's first Gentry Alasdair, The Prince of Thieves and Ravisher of Names ran a thieving ring and used child labor to support his operation and she was one of his charges. He stole her childhood and her name from her, so the other kids she ran with named her 'Kit' because of her golden-red hair and they said when she slept she looked like a little fox. During her servitude of the first Keeper she was forced to steal anything from food, to fine silk and golden rings to other children on the other side.
Regret Leads to a Promise: January 13th 1971
She was ordered by her Keeper to find a replacement for a child he recently lost to sickness and she helps lure a young boy named Eric into the hedge with her. She did not want to do it and makes a promise with him that they will escape Arcadia together one night and go back home. Four months pass by and they sneak off to a hedge where they are caught and separated for what seems like several years.
A Failed Attempt: Four months in Arcadia after Eric is taken
Kit, Eric and Charity sister reach a spot in the hedge that shows promise to escape through when Eric turns towards the twins, "dialoge pending". It is that split-second hesitation that cost them their freedom. for now. Bloodwine, the Warden, and Alasdair capture the three children and its the Prince of Thieves himself that snapped the whip against Kit's back-leaving her scars that can be seen even today.
A Loss of Innocence
Kit was repeatedly raped by the Warden the day after her capture while the Prince of Thieves was busy selling her brother Eric to another Gentry. It was only a week but it felt likes months or years for Kit during the week she is kept in "The Closet" a small windowless cell that is 5 x 5. The isolation from everyone else, the daily beatings and constant darkness took a toll on her mentally, emotionally and spiritually-rumor has it she still gets claustophobic in small, dark places. They say that when she was finally released from her cell she had aged to appear almost sixteen and the woman-child was now more woman than child.
A'mael's House of PleasureAs soon as the Prince had realized what happened to Ronyo he couldn't risk keeping her. The years of torment and the spell that kept her youthfull innocence had somehow broken and now she was more dangerous than ever.

Background:
Lovers (Past and Present)
You're cruel devine
your blood, like ice
One look, could kill
My pain, your thrill...-Groove Coverage, Poison
Make you break down
Shatter your illusions of love
Is it over now -- do you know how
Pick up the pieces and go home

Malic Stitch Grandmaster of The Exalted Guild of the Fae-Touched Artisans I started as a model for his latest clothing line a few years ago and one thing led to another during a fitting. I became his apprentice in the guild, but as Spring turns to Summer and than to Fall the colors of the illusion of a possibility of something more than an occasional lover faded between us with the coming Winter and as the wheel turns so do we. Perhaps this newest rekindling of passion and desire for one another will last longer than the latest Spring clothing line...only time can really tell.
Darius Black Hammer Local Autumn Court King and a decent enough fighter but I don't see anything serious developing between the two of us but I do on occasion enjoy his company.
Christian I remember attending one of his discussions on a womens place in Corporate America and shattering the glass ceiling that hold so many of them back. I'll admit I was intrigued to find a man taking on that stand publicly that I wanted to know more about him and philosophical views. I couldn't tell you what city we were in but I remember the bar and the hotel room.
Family
Charity is my twin sister and closest friend. The founding "Thief" and fellow sister of our motley. I do not know what I would do without her, I can only say that I am thankful that when Alasdair told her I was dead that that she didn't give up hope, I can only imagine what that would have done to her-to give up hope on the dream we shared to leave that hell together.
“The desire to be and have a sister is a primitive and profound one that may have everything or nothing to do with the family a woman is born to. It is a desire to know and be known by someone who shares blood and body, history and dreams . . .” - Elizabeth Fishel
Vayne Cruxis Vayne may not be my brother in blood but he is all the same to me my brother and more. In my darkest hour of despair and surrender he was a reminder that there was hope for us both. In a twisted turn of events I was the one who both cursed him into becoming what he is today but also partialy responsible for his freedom.
Friends
Martiya The founding "Gypsy" and fellow sister of our motley. If you want on the boat, you have to ask her.
James Hannay I ran into this "Old Man" one night while listening to local gossip and helped lead him to the hedge that would send him back.
Associates & Allies
Jimmy Quick The man has soul, talent on the stage and real easy on the eyes
Killswitch You know that bike I ride? The one with the running mustang? Yeah that's Killswitch's handy work and if you ever stop by his shop look up on the wall and you can see us both.
Longshot Fellow thief and member of the Guild. Some of his finest steel can be found in my shop.
Uriel de Lenormand A professional photographer who makes most pale in comparison to the photos he takes and one of the few who find my scars beautiful.
Coronus Flare a metal craftsmen that made her some items for her.. um.. pleasure room.. yeah that's it..
Legion Autumn Court and Ronyo's apointed adviser from the Court of Fear during her reign as Spring Queen.
- Looking for other tie-ins who may have been part of the same thieves guild run by the Gentry that exploited child labor
- Accomplices who helped her create a smuggling network that focused on helping those Changelings who wanted to (and could afford the price) cross the hedge back to the human world. She is not without compassion and will, on frequent occasion, take on “free jobs” in return for favors later.
- Those Changelings that she helped leave Arcadia

Quotes
"It is not easy to steal where the landlord is a thief" - Anonymous Irish quote
“But he did not understand the price. Mortals never do. They only see the prize. Their hearts desire, their dream....But the price of getting what you want is getting what you once wanted.” - Niel Gaiman
“You can change your beliefs so they empower your dreams and desires. Create a strong belief in yourself and what you want.” - Marcia Wieder
“The cost to return to the human world is great, are you prepared to pay such a cost? No cash you say…no bother just sign this contract and I’ll collect my payment later.”
"I cannot undo the pain I have caused over the years, cannot return the lives I was forced to have helped the Fae steal but they will regret the loss of their slaves as I help as many as possible escape now that I am older, wiser and more crafty. HE will regret he enslaved me as a thief-take that back, he already has."
"I don't have your precious whatever and EXCUSE ME but does it look like I have a raccoons mask? Didn't think so." - Ronyo trying to defend innocence for once again being accused of doing something her twin did.
"Laverna was no more chaste than she was honest, and had many lovers and many children. It was said that not being bad at heart or cruel, she often repented her life and sins; but do what she might, she could not reform, because her passions were so inveterate."-Aradia, Gospel of Witches: Chapter XV-Charles G. Leland -"Well, if you leave out the children part I guess that sums me up" Ronyo having a discussion about Laverna with Darius

"Sometimes there is something you cannot fill in another person's life. She can do that for him." *shrug* Gaea, soon after her breakup with Vayne.
"She can have what she wants with a simple request and a small payment, it's simple." The Captain
"Royno is the face of my savior.....i owe her my life and undying devotion. my love for her is deep and my wraith for anyone that will do harm to this woman is even deeper.."James Hannay
