-> '''Appears In:''' ''Bard of the Black Violin'', ''Archives of the Scholar''
->'''Played By:''' Penthepoet (writer), teeninapoliticalabyss (voice actor)

->''"I remember my path now... Put bluntly, I’m a bard. I have a violin. I can play. That playing is filled with magic. And I can make things happen with that."''

Ryael, better known as the Bard of the Black Violin, is a final-stage Risen. In their previous life, they were an Arkn MusicalAssassin and the most powerful Bard who ever lived. Now, they are seeking to rediscover their powers and atone for their past crimes.
----
* AmbiguousGender: While biologically male, Ryael identifies as non-binary and prefers to use them/they pronouns. They become extremely uncomfortable when addressed by their birth name (Ryan).
* CoolSword: In their Arkn life, Ryael possessed “Reignbreaker”, the legendary sword that killed Gavreel Irinith. It was said to have been capable of changing form based on the preference of the wielder, and to drive men to murder for the longing of it. [[spoiler: It was previously Ellpagg’s cane sword, Dragon’ier.]]
* ElectiveMute: Apparently, sensory overload plays a part. They usually communicate via sign language (a skill they recalled from their Eelekti life).
* ICallItVera: Ryael's violin is named "Ashling Telma" (a.k.a. the Black Violin).
* IHaveManyNames: They've been called Ryael'Ayre Sorin, Ryael'Ayre Sorin Callokure, the Bard of the Black Violin, the Ruach'mor, the Dancer Delgaliel, and the Eld'strixa Monachiel -- and that's just their ''Arkn'' names and titles. Their human names have included Ryan and Ryael Morrow.
* KindHeartedCatLover: They’re very fond of their pet cat, Mirrin (and post pictures of him on their blog).
* MusicalAssassin: In Ryael's Arkn life (in the words of Faust), "basically they were a hero and badass who went around doing hero things and committed murder by violin."
* MusicMagic: Ryael's violin uses Ethric energy, and is capable of hypnotizing and manipulating humans (among other things).
* PastLifeMemories: As a Risen, Ryael suffers from these. They worry about being out in public with friends, out of fear that they'll get caught up in a memory and hurt someone. Apparently, their former selves were ''not'' good people.
** Later on, we learn that Ryael's fear is justified when Ryael explains that [[spoiler: they nearly killed one of their friends during a remembering "episode"]]. There's also the fact that while remembering their past, they have pulsing headaches and behave very uncharacteristically.

!![[spoiler: Miriam Magdal]]
->'''Appears In:''' ''Bard of the Black Violin'', ''Archives of the Scholar''
->'''Played By:''' Penthepoet

->''"[D]o you know who I am?"''

The former best friend of [[spoiler: Ryael Morrow]] from their Arkn life (and current arch-enemy in their Risen life).
----
* ArchEnemy: They are this to [[spoiler: Ryael Morrow]].
* AntiVillain: In her Arkn life, she killed Gavreel Irinith because she thought Gavreel was responsible for [[spoiler: the death of her human crush, Marceline.]] She ends up being mistaken in this regard [[spoiler: (and the repercussions of this event are implied to be the reason why Miriam is hunting Ryael currently)]].
* EvilFormerFriend: They were the Inkaal'sen to [[spoiler: Ryael'ayre, in their Arkn life]].
* InSeriesNickname: Traitor.
* MeaningfulName: Her name has its roots in the name of Miriam (or Mary) Magdalene, who was the first person to see Jesus after his resurrection.

->'''Appears In:''' ''The Secret Chord Composing''

->''"[T]he oddness of this whole thing is getting out of hand for me to hold back any longer[.]"''

An older, final stage Risen who is tasked with raising his blind grandson after the disappearance of his son and daughter-in-law.
----
* CoolOldGuy: While he's not that old (he's only in his 50s), he definitely qualifies.

* TheMentallyDisturbed: She appears to suffer from an undefined mental illness. Faust's comments hint that her mental health has degraded significantly over time.
