Major updates coming to Tarantellia in 2024!

Ariza

(a.k.a. Riza, Rizzy)

"Ariza, my dear friend, you are my guardian angel. I don't know what I would do without you or Priscilla's."
— Heartbroken patron crying over a scone and tea
The cashier and greeter at Priscilla's Bakery in La Chiave a Croce, Ariza, takes her time to make sure everyone feels welcome.   Prior to working at Priscilla's, Ariza was a mighty adventurer alongside the shop's baker, Loneli. However, Ariza is not known here as the hero who saved a distant town or helped slay a dragon. Here, she is known as the kind soul who heal hearts and warms tummies.   It would crush Ariza, if her sweet community - the community that she worked so hard to build - came crashing down because of what happened when she and Loneli were in the Hollow. Fortunately, word doesn't travel quickly between planes.

Social

Social Aptitude

Ariza exudes confidence despite her trepidation with the unknown. Her bubbly personality is often confused for extroversion but she doesn't mind. It's a secret as sweet as Loneli's pastries.   Due to her desire to understand the sapient condition, Ariza has spent decades engaging with others to satiate her curiosity. Her philosophy on treatment of others is: "meet them where they are and celebrate that."   As a social magnet, it's a common sight in Priscilla's Bakery for customers to speak conspiratorially with Ariza over personal matters. While she does not crave this knowledge, she loves being a sounding board, confidant, and ally.

Mannerisms

"From the moment you walk into Priscilla's, you're home!"
— Ariza
  While too child-like to be mothering, Ariza finds a way to make everyone feel comforted and welcome. Her positivity can turn off some people, then again, those aren't the people who frequent Priscilla's. The repeat customers are the ones who find Ariza's personality engaging and Loneli's baking heavenly.
