• Horseback riding: Ugh, only as a last resort. She'll take a slidewalk or an aircar any day or at the very least a horse and carriage, thank you.

• Friends: her brother Jose, sister-in-law Linnel, and nephew Jamil, and Dyannis, of course

• Hobbies: reading, arguing Empire politics, drinking way too much wine with friends and family
• Other Information: The "black sheep" of the Raineach clan, Jamil's Kiha Mari is his father's younger sister and has always been his favorite aunt, mostly because they share interests the rest of the family does not. Unfortunately, his parents have always vetoed her offers to let him go off-world on vacation with her.
