You may not need to refer to me by my title, friend. I treat everyone with equal respect...provided they are proven worthy of it, of course.

— Reine

Lady Reine Garden is a human Virtuso. She is a childhood friend of Emilie Silverlake, as well as a part of Ascalonian nobility. Raised in a family, whose pride lies on their devotion to the Goddess Melandru, Reine continues that tradition by maintaining their prestigious garden located in their resident at Ebonhawke, while simultaneously honing her skills as a fencer to compete in a fighting tournament against various opponents throughout Tyria.

Much like a rose with thorns, Reine's good-hearted, yet fiery personality has shaped her dignified view of the world, treating others with respect regardless of their social status. This has allowed her to convince her parents into adopting Emilie, who at that time was a poor orphan on the street, into their family, giving her a second chance in life. She continues to be her friend's inspiration, even when the two went separate ways, thanks to the intervention of a Ministry Guard.

Personality

Reine displays the characteristics of a gentle, yet passionate being. Eager to treat those "lower" than her as her equal despite their status, her humble nature has made her approachable to many. At the same time, she is willing to judge an individual based on their personal merits, meaning that her kind nature doesn't extend to those she deems unworthy of her dignified stance, such as fellow nobles who would look down upon the commoners, or individuals who express prejudice towards people around her e.g. Sons of Svanir.

Nevertheless, Reine is not keen on violence, and would resort to reason with the involved parties to defuse the situation, even when there are more practical solutions at hands. This is not to be mistaken for cowardice, though, as she would still put up a fight, should she be forced to defend herself and others from harm.

Combat Abilities

Reine is a standard Virtuoso, specialized in Dueling and using Illusions to her advantage.

Being primarily a melee fighter, Reine makes use of her Rapier, which allows her to easily maneuver around her opponents and inflict swift yet ferocious strikes onto them. Alternatively, she can also make use of her Rifle, though in a more traditional sense where her marksmanship is put to good use to engage her foes, as opposed to healing and supporting her allies.

Trivia

• Reine's theme follows the concept of nature and beauty, the two aspects that are represented in both her religion (Melandru) and her profession (Mesmer) respectively.
  • Her father, amusingly, is an Engineer who has made various contraptions to help with maintaining their prestigeous gardens. He is also responsible for making firearms for both her and Emilie.
• Reine's fighting style and her association with nature has earned her the nickname "Bumblebee".
  • This is also a play in a quote "Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee." by Muhammad Ali.
• Reine is explicitly left-handed, meaning her "main-hand" weapon is wielded on her left hand, and her "off-hand" weapon wielded on her right, an inverse of how a Guild Wars 2 character is typically depicted.
