Scherzo Riruha

“My name is Scherzo Riruha, an Elvaari from Heartsford Cliff. While I do believe that art comes in many forms, I strongly believe that music is one of the most important forms of art next to written prose. A melody can inspire just as many feelings just like a poem can if done right.

• Born and raised in Heartsford Cliff, Scherzo Riruha was the only daughter of an Elvaari family whose father was a prolific piano composer and orchestra director. Scherzo didn't have much to do as a young child, or rather, nothing really interested them when they were young; Working for the Hearth? A mild distraction at best. Becoming a Wayfarer? An unmecessary risk filled with worthless delusions of gold, rare treasures and fleeting fame. Environmental Division? They REFUSED to touch a wild animal with their bare hands.  

• The longer it thought about it, the more it had dawned upon her that music might be the golden ticket; having always admired its father's work, and her innate passion for writing, it had figured that the best way to go about things was to become an orchestra director itself. It loved how its father, Adagio Riruha, cleanly directed his orchestra, smooth and flawless, since then, Scherzo had decided to follow on his footsteps, and someday write a play of her own. Although it wasn't exactly a smooth process, it was known for being a rather stubborn and persistent person, wanting their music to be played to a perfect T.

• A hyperfixation that made those around it feel unsure and nervous, at one point in life, Scherzo became a music professor, one that most people feared because of her no-nonsense, elitist approach to music. And unfortunately, it had manifested into a curse that allowed her to actively see the notes being played from any live instrument, which further fed into its fixation. It wasn't all doom and gloom. …For the music alumni at least. As every year the students attending Scherzo Riruha's music course would gather together to be part of Scherzo's personally curated orchestra, formed by top-of-the line students. This orchestra would play at Blossom, Glimmer, and Frost in their respective festivals.

• Unfortunately, ever since the day Scherzo comitted a mistake on Sundance 1225, she hasn't dared to play again in latge events since, in fears of being seen as a fraud, or that people think she's out of touch. She will still play, but at smaller scale festivals and the like.

• Scherzo has also been composing her own songs, as well as playing the piano since then, in an effort to keep herself up to speed regarding music, as well as self-entertainment and creativity. Making her own theatre play was a dream that was thankfully given life in the form Scherzo's first, and so far, only self-written theatre musical, "Roselia and the Emerald Monarch". To this day, Scherzo still composes music and plays piano wherever she is invited, or in her own home, and rumor has it she has been writing a new stageplay.
