A former member of Nah division who joined the Astral Order after the entire order went to her one by one begging her to join. Despite her professed lack of knowledge or ability with Pandem due to her only reaching the third tier of it and being unable to progress further due to her unwilling bind, the order considered her absolutely vital.
Reika is one of the last seven paladins in the entire known galaxy, largely due to the celestial plane refusing to bind any further after the Era of the Purge destroyed most of the gods. While others have learned to channel the plane itself, only the true paladins have access to the iconic smite spell. She is a master swordsman and one of only two pandem casters in Sol capable of the void gate spell without the assistance of ethi enchantments. She is said to simply operate on a higher level of time than anyone else, since she can do this on reaction to point blank gunfire. She possesses a legendary sword called "Hayashi" that grants her the ability to move as lightning at will.
While she isn't much of a pandem scholar, she is the order's Knight-Champion, its greatest warrior. She serves largely for PR and getting things done.
People are often warned about the perils of making small talk with Reika, because her life story is horrific and sends people into depression upon realizing what she has suffered through. Due to her pandem corruption she cannot use cybernetic prosthetics and so her missing arm and eye can not be replaced, however since her bind will not allow her to progress any further she can still operate many smaller ethi technologies such as doors.

Original Bio:
Reika possesses a rare pandem bind to a storm archangel in the celestial plane. Basically she can suddenly decide she has wings and do some things with electricity and wind. She is technically a bounty hunter to make ends meet but her real passion is murdering Vloz'Khress because they killed her parents in front of her when she was six as an "example" during a slave riot. The riot escalated from there and culminated in her losing her arm and eye during all the chaos. Fleeing from the Vloz'Khress, she was sent through a pandem rift to the celestial plane since they don't like demons much there and Vloz'Khress is a primarily demon house. Though the other slaves left the child behind to die due to her injuries, the angel that would become her pandem bind found her and offered a deal.
That particular archangel had a feud with a demon one of the Vloz'Khress Val's were bound to, Reika was offered a chance for some revenge. From there she spent her life in the celestial plane training. After returning to Zonaricht to get some good old fashioned revenge, she just wandered off now that her mission was complete. Though she didn't exactly do it very stealthily and it was a Val, so Vloz is offering a good chunk of money for her head. Good luck collecting it though, being bound to an angel gives her the highest regenerative abilities of any possible bind. However since she acquired the bind after her mutilation she never got her arm and eye back, and being pandem she can't use cybernetics.
