Rhea Fighter (圃人 (レーア) 剣士, Rēa Kenshi) is an Adventurer and Wizard Boy's partner and the newest Student of Burglar.

Appearance

Rhea Fighter is a young woman of small stature, but for a Rhea, she is of average height and is deceptively well-endowed. She wears light armor and dons her slim legs with black stirrup leggings. Rhea Fighter sports red hair which she keeps tied back in a short ponytail with a white ribbon and has yellow-green eyes.

Personality

Rhea Fighter has a bright and happy personality, easily getting excited about adventure and other small things. She also does her best to keep her partner Wizard Boy in the right by making him mind his manners and keeps his abrasive nature in check. Her friendly attitude made her fast friends with Priestess and even helped bridge the gap between Wizard Boy and her fellow rookies Rookie Warrior and Apprentice Cleric who didn't like him, but Rhea Fighter won them over.

Despite her uppity nature, she is also easily spooked, something other like Lizard Priest and Female Knight have enjoyed exploiting to see her "cute" overreactions. This is overshadowed by her desire to break barriers for Rheas; instead of becoming a scout as usual, she aspires to be a Warrior and "Bigger than Big" someday.

Rhea Fighter has a massive appetite, even for a Rhea, eating a large stack of pancakes and honey for lunch and not gain a pound.

Chronology

Background

Hailing from a small country Shire, Rhea Fighter ran away from home to escape an engagement she did not agree with. She took her grandfather's sword who inspired her to become an Adventurer like himself, and headed for the Western Frontier.

Goblin Slayer Volume 6

Lizard Priest gives Rhea Fighter advice

At the Adventurer's Guild, Rhea Fighter timidly asks Lizard Priest what his party was doing with their potions, seeing them tying different knots to them. Lizard Priest informs her of the knots function, but Goblin Slayer informs her of not relying on that if she cannot memorize it perfectly. Understanding, she returns to her rookie Party after Goblin Slayer gives her advice to start slow with Rat Slaying Quests. Although her newly-formed party completed the quest, they received some rat bites, but they had prepared antidotes just in case after seeing Goblin Slayer's Party buy some. However, the party disbanded when the leader's family called him back home leaving her as a solo Adventurer for now, but she makes it clear she's looking for a Party.

Rhea Fighter regrets training with Female Knight

In between looking for a new Party, Rhea Fighter went to the new training grounds where she trained with Female Knight, who decides to not hold back. As she begs for the veteran to go a little easy on her in her own adorable way, Female Knight only makes things harder. Completely exhausted, she takes a break with Wizard Boy, Rookie Warrior, and Apprentice Cleric where she laments that Female Knight isn't exactly a good teacher but acknowledges her obvious skills. While enjoying her training and lunch, Rhea Fighter requested Priestess form a temporary Party with her so she could go on a few Quests, when she agreed, Rhea Fighter got Wizard Boy, Rookie Warrior, and Apprentice Cleric to go with them.

Rhea Fighter and Wizard Boy set off

When Goblins attacked the training grounds, Rhea Fighter was one of the Adventurers led by Priestess to rescue the rookies who had left the grounds at dusk. During the battle, she commended Wizard Boy for deterring the Goblins with his new Shout spell. The next day, Rhea Fighter declared she would tag along with Wizard Boy, despite the latter's objection as he returned to the Capital to start his career. The two rookies witnessed Goblin Slayer laugh in reaction to their bickering, before setting off.

Interim

In between Volumes, Rhea Fighter had found a "Master" for her training and took his word seriously.

Goblin Slayer Volume 9

During the Winter, as the Ice Witch began to work her magic to bring forth the "Unending Winter", Rhea Fighter is tasked with leading Hero and her Party to the Northern Mountains by the Frontier Town with Wizard Boy. Though she wasn't expected to actually partake in the saving of the world, she took the job seriously and happily while Wizard Boy realized they were glorified baggage carriers.

On the Mountains, Rhea Fighter sees Rookie Warrior, Apprentice Cleric, and their new friend Harefolk Hunter had already stopped the Unending Winter with Goblin Slayer's Party. Rhea Fighter is happy to see them and is forced to "remind" Wizard Boy of his manners when he starts getting a little snarky with them.

Goblin Slayer Volume 12

When an entire city fell to the Forces of Chaos, Rhea Fighter and Wizard Boy are hired by Heavy Warrior, Spearman, and Goblin Slayer to map out the area and do some initial scouting of the area. As Wizard Boy tries to signal with his glowing staff for the trio of veterans and fails, Rhea Fighter can't hold back her laughter at his attempts to look cool and failing.

Suddenly, the trio of veterans rise out of the sewage thanks to Breath Rings, which completely freaked Rhea Fighter out.

Goblin Slayer Volume 16

Round One: Flawless Victory, no seriously

Rhea Fighter decided to take part in a Jousting Tournament, gaining an oversized lance, donkey, and a mismatched hand-me-down set of armor for the event. After placing first in the Shire and ranking high in the Rhea section of the tourney, Rhea Fighter earned her right to complete in the final leg in the Capital. Her placement in the Tourney became extremely complicated though as she learned all participants would be competing against each other as Supreme God's Paladin removed all the different leagues in a ill-advised quest for "equality". This put Rhea Fighter in a difficult position as she was now forced to compete against participants twice her size instead of her fellow Rhea, something that many viewers and fellow participants saw as extremely unfair.

We will Rock you!

Despite the initial hurdles against her, Rhea Fighter is able to push through and claim many victories allowing her to progress through the tourney. With the sheer amount of odds against her and her perseverance, Rhea Fighter was viewed as an underdog fan favorite with the crowd. However, despite her victories, many spectators made it clear they felt her being forced to compete against people twice her size was indeed unfair for her, which made her hard won victories all the more amazing for the crowd.

By the quarter finals, Rhea Fighter was placed against Supreme God's Paladin, someone she was very interested in defeating. Even as both she and the Supreme God's Paladin were dismounted and a swarm of gargoyles attacked, Rhea Fighter took all her aggression out on the Supreme God's Paladin and scored herself a victory amongst the chaos.

Despite her victory against the man that made her journey a nightmare, Rhea Fighter lost in the finals. However, the loss didn't defeat her spirit, as it only reaffirmed her dream of becoming "Bigger than big" to herself, Wizard Boy, and even her Donkey as she set out another Adventure.
