Rhio goes under "other" (this is becoming repetitive), mostly because she's in the midst of undergoing a massive crisis of faith.
When the game launched, Rhio followed Thaliak without the slightest iota of commitment. She liked the idea behind the Scholar, but she was generally not terribly concerned with deities. Still, she had no real need or desire to be an iconoclast and paid her dues appropriately. As far as she was concerned, the gods were simply entertaining stories.
A series of losses in her life saw her slipping gradually into a resigned acceptance of Nymeia, helped along by some of her discussions with Eva on the subject. It wasn't so much that she switched over to being a full believer that she started to believe that fate was clearly present in her life, which made the hop to believing in a deity less onerous. It also made her misery at least a touch more explainable. So she marked off fully intending to die in the last battle, that fate had a purpose for her that involved her death.
Needless to say, that didn't happen. So come ARR, she's going to be knee-deep in wondering what she's supposed to do or feel. Neither fate nor the absence of fate have worked out well for her, and so she's left adrift and confused. What happens after that is... well, I really don't know. But it does mean she's not quite agnostic, nor a devoted follower.
