Rya is a character in Elden Ring.
Rya is a scout for the Volcano Manor who seeks recruits among the Tarnished. She is first met in Liurnia, asking for help to recover a stolen necklace. In return she offers an invitation to the Volcano Manor and a quick trip there. Inside the manor she learns the truth about her own birth, and her fate depends on the Tarnished's final choice.
Lore
Rya appears as a young woman, but her true form is a man-serpent born within the Volcano Manor.
She serves Lady Tanith as a scout and believes Tanith to be her true mother. Her real name is Zorayas.
When Rya learned that she was born of a hideous rite deep in the manor, the truth broke her. She begged for death, for the mercy of forgetting, or for a new path of her own.
