I approve of this exercise.
What kind of stories has your character gotten into?
Rhio's gone through a lot since the relaunch. She started out confused, lost, and low on resources, hoping mostly to reconnect with people she considered friends. As it turned out, two of those people wound up rejecting her rather thoroughly, which stung, but she's started to rebuild her life despite that fact. In fact, she's probably in a better place now than she was at the end of the prior version. The usual set of love stories, betrayals, alliances, deceptions, and occasional pleasant conversation.
How has your character changed since the game relaunch?
She's gone from having more or less nothing to having quite a bit - an apartment in Gridania, a girlfriend, a small circle of friends, and the prospect of more in the future. She's also nursing quite a bit of newfound bitterness at those she'd expected to reconnect with, although that's not really a change; she's always had a list of enemies.
How is your character adjusting to the five years?
For her part, Rhio is largely doing her best to ignore it. Nel, her lifeline at the transition, treated her mostly as an old friend that had been away for quite some time, and that's how she's treated others that didn't jump forward. There's nothing she can do about it, the world moved on without her, and all she can do is try to fit herself back into the world.
What has been your favorite/most shocking RP moment so far?
When Rhio's current girlfriend asked her out on a date. It was so bracingly unexpected, especially considering how often she finds herself pining after someone rather than being pined for. It was unexpected, it was surprising, it worked perfectly, it allowed for a great deal of character development.
What was the most surprising thing you found out about your character?
How Rhio makes most of her money.
What relationships did your character build?
Lots. Rhio's developed a longtime (if distant) friendship into a romance while at the same time losing two longtime friends. She's also found herself at least two very close friend, with one of them hoping for more and the other quite happy to simply be her confidante. She's also engaged in her usual plethora of backroom deals and built at least a small reputation for that, along with making at least one new enemy.
What are you looking most forward to seeing in the future?
I'd really like Rhio to resolve matters with at least one of her outstanding enemies; I doubt it'll happen, but it would be nice. (Note that "resolve" does not necessarily mean "patch things up.") I'd like her to develop her current relationship and start getting a better sense of where she fits in Eorzea as a whole. She's always been a wanderer, and it's time for her to start putting down firmer roots.
