Ryllis and Kali were infants when they were dropped off on the doorstep of an old Zefiryn church on Nazarius Isle, down Mikena's southern coast. They grew up very differently; Kali a goddess, Ryllis a priestess. Ryllis doesn't have the godly peacock tail her sister has; she looks identical to Kali but she was never considered holy. It might be expected that Ryllis would resent her sister for this, for having the perfect life while Ryllis had to stay in the cramped dorms with the other priestesses and undergo intensely painful training - but she never did, and she never will. Instead Ryllis hates the women in charge of the church, the ones who constantly remind Kali to be quiet and kind, to listen to the lessons they tell her and repeat it back. Ryllis is desperate to get Kali away from the church and has been working for months on a serious plan to escape. The last time they tried the women in charge threatened to kill Ryllis for blasphemy; Kali threw a terrible and fearsome fit, the first time she'd ever displayed those godly powers they were sure she'd inherited, and they let Ryllis go. It did not deter Ryllis at all; she is determined to get them both away and to let Kali experience a more normal life, if there is one to be had.
Ryllis' personality can be boiled down to her unending devotion for her sister and her drive to protect her. She's almost always angry and distrustful and it's because of her sister; Kali's naivety would get her in trouble if Ryllis could not immediately spot those people trying to take advantage of her, to win her favor or threaten her or anything else. Ryllis is on edge a lot, infrequently relaxed and usually snappish if unexpectedly touched. Ryllis resents authority figures and has no care for the traditional moral compass; she obeys Kali because she trusts and loves her but she wouldn't care if anybody else told her the same things. Kali will listen to basically anything but she defers to Ryllis; so much to the church's frustration, Kali will not obey the priestesses if Ryllis has already told her not to. It has caused a great deal of friction between Ryllis and the staff but they've trained her a little too well; Ryllis is the best fighter at the church and none of their other guards have half a hope of taking her down. Ryllis does have some minor powers (because she is Kali's twin and so by default a demigod) but they're nothing like Kali's. They are also tied to her emotional state, so the atmosphere in a room can start to feel pretty heavy if Ryllis is in a bad mood.

and if the heavens can be both sacred and dust
oh maybe so can the rest of us
