Yes, her name is pronounced with a voiceless alveolar trill.
No, I am not sorry.
Yes, everyone does mispronounce it because the sound is extremely rare.
Yes, she does get annoyed whenever anyone does so.
Anyways, I have finally gotten around to making a second character ref. It actually went far quicker than the one I did with Kaj. Unlike my work on Kaj's I stopped myself from doing a whole bunch of full extra drawings which saved a ton of time. Instead I mostly focused on her outfits. In contrast to myself, Rhelki is supposed to have at least some level of fashion sense and actually wears different outfits. This is in sharp contrast to Kaj and Felix who will most likely end up wearing the same thing most days (especially Kaj as I am unsure he even owns more than one set of clothing). As such I started tinkering and researching different outfits for her making this into kind of a little outfit study for myself. I am quite pleased with the result.

Thank you. I actually hope everything I wrote made sense. I jotted it down after midnight since I was trying to get this done the night before I posted it, but I was not able to and also did not have time since I quickly finished up all of the layout stuff in the morning before posting. >.>
I read that and I still don't know how to pronounce her name ;) Interesting family history, especially that her mother was a wild Kitsune. And I didn't realise she felt so strongly about Kaj. Why is she so angry in general?
She really does look very different in her winter and summer coats! Very nice designs for her clothing, are those paw-prints on her summer-dress? Also hhhhmmm interesting about the enchanted earrings!

I put the IPA pronunciation there, but to use English words to kind of explain it (English vowels are all sorts of messed up and dialect dependent so this is just me trying to get close), it would be rail-key. The main thing that's weird is the initial R sound which is both trilled and voiceless. This means that you don't engage your vocal chords while saying it and the easiest way to do it is kind of add a breathy H sound before the R. It's a pretty odd sound only found in a few languages, Icelandic and Welsh for example. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voice.....alveolar_trill
But this is why everyone just calls her Rel, pronounced like rail. Because, despite making her name, even I recognize that it is way too hard to pronounce.
Yeah, she basically has ended up as collateral damage for way too many of Kaj's pranks. Even when he is explicitly trying to avoid her, she somehow ends up getting hit. As for why she's angry, that's more of just a personality fault. She just has anger issues and finds it difficult to control that emotion. She probably needs therapy and anger management to be honest.
On the dress they were supposed to be little flowers, but sadly I had to compress the image way too much to make them noticeable.

I see, interesting, thanks! Hhhhhmmm it would be kind of amusing if her enchanted earrings had something to do with her unintentional entanglement with Kaj, but I'm sure you have your plan for those ;)
I guess if you spent one-hundred years as an animal it might result in some personality quirks!
Ah OK, yes I see it now, I was fairly sure paw-prints weren't the sort of thing she would wear.
