It's probably not totally realistic for Rhone to be afraid of these zip-line things. The folk tend to live in high places, trees and cliffs (why, we'll see…) so she'd be used to heights, and these zip-line things are rather ubiquitous in Gatlan-Bar… But, I know RL people that are deathly afraid of ubiquitous modes of travel (planes, trains, elevators, ski lifts…) so it's maybe not that unrealistic after all. Plus it was just fun to draw her scared face!!
Speaking of these zip-line things… I envisioned them working both ways (although going up would be much slower) but I haven't totally worked out the organics (not mechanics, like many things in this world, they're made of a pseudo-living material). For now, let's just say Magic or Applied Phlebotinum!
Anyhow…
Looks like our rambunctious gal is kinda famous!!
Life and Good Dreams!

Some one needs a hot dog or pop corn to enjoy the show.

Certainly!! Of course, cuisine is a little different here - should get a chance to show that soon!!

Watching turns in to actually doing eventually! I love how the two sisters are a complete contrast from one another! xD
KimLuster at 5:59PM, Feb. 4, 2018
Ha, you're right! And they were probably more partners in crime at one time, but quite different now!!

Who'd want to see a beautiful young woman fighting?...
KimLuster at 6:28AM, Feb. 4, 2018
My man says, when he's see two equally beautiful women, the one he thinks is sexier is the one who looks like they could kick the other's A$$!

If their pulley tech is some kind of techno organics, then it doesn't require much explanation; it would just run on the same kind of chemical energy all living tissue uses.
KimLuster at 5:31PM, Feb. 3, 2018
I was thinking along those lines, but still had trouble envisioning it!!

It's not surprising that she'd be mixing it up in dangerous pit fights in her free time. I wonder, has she ever tried juggling venomous snakes?
KimLuster at 5:32PM, Feb. 3, 2018
Yes, while singing 'Praise da Lawd!'

Those facial expressions are priceless. And how can she not spar? She's the protagonist. Gotta show off. She's a known fighter, gotta show off.
KimLuster at 5:31PM, Feb. 3, 2018
Thanks! And Well... you may be right!!

Rope pulley & a skin full of water more than the load & up you go. No magic & no more mechanics than you've already implied.
KimLuster at 5:29PM, Feb. 3, 2018
I'm listening! That'd work... Not sure if the moment will appear in the story but I like holistically knowing how it might work!!

Haha! She has a rockers "Kiss" look on her face before going down the zipline

These folk have learned how to channel Gene Simmons!!

Everyone has that one friend.
KimLuster at 11:13AM, Feb. 3, 2018
I've had that one friend - I've been that one friend... @_@
jerrie at 8:30AM, Feb. 3, 2018
get in there and spar!just watching? BAH! Blasphemy!
KimLuster at 11:13AM, Feb. 3, 2018
Keep talkin' - she's listenin'!

It would be fun to see Rhiaan fight, but if she did that she would end up revealing her super-powers. Unless she is able to dial them back.
KimLuster at 11:13AM, Feb. 3, 2018
Having been this way since birth, she's probably gotten pretty good at hiding it. Recall how, in her fight with the banditti, she mentioned doing nothing more than a skilled staff fighter can do...
