Rinya

Rinya Idaho fanart

Rinya Idaho was the eldest daughter of the final ghola of Duncan Idaho and Mother Commander Murbella, and lived during the time of the advent of Kralizec. She was the older twin of Janess Idaho.

Youth[]

Rinya was conceived and born when Murbella and Idaho were held captive aboard a no-ship-prison which was located on the Bene Gesserit capital world of Chapterhouse. Upon being born, Rinya was whisked away from her parents to be brought up inside of the Sisterhood. Contrary to many Gesserit births, Rinya was aware of her parentage, and was allowed to muse on, and even visit her mother.

The Water of Life[]

When her mother became leader of the combined Bene Gesserit/Honored Matres group, the New Sisterhood, Rinya took all opportunities that the group presented to her. She was considered a prodigy, excelling in all of her training that the sisters presented to her. To the dismay of Murbella's Gesserit aide, Bellonda, Rinya decided to take the Water of Life at age 14, to try to become a Reverend Mother. Encouraged by Murbella's Matre aide, Doria, Rinya instructed the acolytes to began the ritual. Janess burst into the room with her mother, and begged Rinya not to begin the procedure. Headstrong and stubborn, Rinya began the life-changing process, and chanted quietly the Litany Against Fear. To the horror of all present, Rinya died, and Janess burst into tears as her twin sister passed away.
