Rhea's PersonalityRhea is an outgoing young woman with a large heart. She is extremely compassionate and optimistic. Although she suffered a lot of self loathing as a teenager and young adult, she is learning to love herself and has a passion for teaching others to do the same.
Rhea's BackgroundChristmas Eve, Year 80: following the end of Lucie's birthday party, Cecilia's water broke. Though it was the middle of a snowstorm, it became quite apparent that Ceci was being thrown into active labour. As the van Loons were there for Lucie's party, Rhea's uncle Niels volunteered to drive Rico and Ceci to the hospital, while Rhea's aunt Amanda looked after the kids. En route to the hospital, Rhea decided that she didn't want to wait to make her debut into the world.

Meanwhile, on a backstreet where Niels was driving, there was a car accident right in front of them. Trapped as a result of the accident, Rico had no choice but to deliver Rhea right there in the middle of the road, with heavy snow pouring down on the roof of the car. Both parents were relieved when the baby girl appeared totally healthy.
From toddlerhood into your childhood, Rhea was rather quiet and introverted. In the public eye, she kept close to her parents and took longer to socialise with other children. As she grew older, she blossomed into an outgoing, social child with a passion for fashion and modeling. Although Rhea loved being in front of the camera, for both acting and modeling, she also had dreams of directing her own film one day. She enjoyed playing with her father's camera equipment and pretending to host her own talk show.
After high school, Rhea decided that rather than going to college, she was going to pursue her dream of becoming a professional model. Against her parents advice and permission, she ran away to Los Angeles, where she remained for approximately a year, struggling to start her career. Since early adolescence, Rhea had been self conscious of her looks - she always hated how different she looked compared to her parents and other siblings - but now, in LA, she quickly became conscious of her weight and body. She very, very briefly modeled lingerie, until her parents found out, and quickly sank deep into an eating disorder. After an intervention from her sister, Lucie, she agreed to return to New York and seek psychological help.
After lots of counseling and proper nutrition, Rhea eventually recovered from bulimia and the averse health problems it brought along with it. She began working at a talent agency as a scout and receptionist, and eventually did some managing for a few clients before enrolling in Julliard as a Drama major.
While working, she met Shinji Fujimoto. A bereaved widower and single father of a little girl named Sakura. Rhea encouraged her to get Sakura into modeling, and also befriended him. About a year later, their relationship took a turn and they admitted romantic feelings for each other. Years later, they moved in together.
Currently, Rhea lives in Manhattan, NY with her husband, Shinji, his daughter Sakura, and their two children Zephyr and Rosaleah. Rhea is an up and coming actor and an active spokeswoman for a few campaigns and companies.
