Description

With charming eyes and a mesmerizing smile, her red soft hair falls over her petite shoulders like water. Her tightly fitted corset and her beautiful dress that reveals her silhouette accentuates her amazing figure. Her beauty is so astonishing it seems out of this world. Her confident look and eyes reminds you, though, that she is from a being of this world after all.

Rua is an entertainer that appears at the Bean Rua Pub/Night Club in Emain Macha. She is the Pub's top diva, and seems to know more about milletians than initially appears. Some residents of Emain Macha believe that Rua is the incarnation of Macha, due to her beauty and charm. However, she claims the rumor to be false.

She can read your daily horoscope and counsel you on a wide variety of topics.

A tracker for whether Rua is working or resting is available at the Mabinoger fansite.

History

Her dress was made by Ailionoa when she asked her to make a more revealing and comfortable dress.

Rua's Sidequest Story

Rua's Brother

Rua asks for food items, accessories, combat weapons and gloves, and finally clothing, stating she wants to try the food, adores the equipment, and wants to practice self-defense skills, respectively. However, as the sidequest progresses, the player character becomes increasingly wary about her stories in order to obtain the items (i.e. - "I lost the Dagger", "The Guardian Gloves broke", etc.), and when they try to confront her with it, she guilt-trips them into acquiring more items for her. Upon giving her the 21st item, Rua allows access to her home and explains the truth of all these items collected.

She, in fact, lied about everything. As Rua gives the player her other dress, which she poured her heart and soul into making herself, she explains that she has a younger brother. He had dreams of becoming a knight or adventurer, but was permanently paralyzed during The Tragedy of Emain Macha. Most of these items given to Rua are gifts to give her brother hope, and are what he seemingly desires. Rua also admits that she would go to any length to see her brother walk again, even going so forth to commit lies.

After the horrific event, Rua started to work as an entertainer at the Emain Macha Pub. The master of the Pub, Lucas, knew of Rua's situation and allowed her to work there. On most occasions, Lucas would let Rua slide work since she would spend the rest of her time staying beside her younger brother at home. To this day now, Rua's younger brother is struggling to stay alive, since he may move on one of these days.

Trivia

• Rua in Irish means "Red Hair" or "Red Haired". Bean Rua, the name of the Pub/Night Club means "Red Haired Lady" or "Red Haired Woman".
• Rua's NPC track title, "Primrose Beneath the Moon", refers to the fact that Rua only appears at night in Bean Rua (similar to how real-world Evening Primroses bloom at night).
  • Evening primroses are more commonly thought of as yellow or white, though red even primroses do exist (i.e. the ironically day-blooming oenothera versicolor) and many evening primroses turn pinkish-red with age.
  • The title appears to be have a level of linguistic wordplay or confusion; Rua is associated with literal roses (as seen on her outfit), instead of True Primroses (Primula) or Evening Primroses (Oenothera).
  • Another NPC, Brielle, is also associated with the Evening Primrose.
