Day-Chaser Makes Paths Long-stretch Morning Riser (Earth-4001)

Riser (personal name Morning Riser and long name Day-Chaser Makes Paths Long-stretch Morning Riser) was an ancient human living on Earth (then known as Erde-Tyrene) during the Forerunner-Flood war. Riser was a Florian, a member of a diminutive species of human known today as Homo floresiensis. Native to the settlement of Marontik, Riser was a friend and mentor of Chakas and later acquainted with Bornstellar-Makes-Eternal-Lasting. He was among the humans who survived the firing of the Halo Array through the Forerunners' Conservation Measure, being later returned to Earth.

Personality
Riser was very cheerful and took a liking to food. When not communicating with his own kind, Riser spoke in a clipped, simplistic manner, although this was the result of other languages lacking many of the intricate aspects of Florian communication which complemented verbal expression. Despite this, he spoke multiple human languages. He also had particular knowledge about the practical uses of plants and herbs, which he would often share with others.

Over the course of his long lifespan, Riser had gained a great deal of knowledge and was wiser than his mannerisms may have indicated. He was quick-witted, mostly unimpressed by things larger than life and had a dry sense of humor. Riser also possessed an inclination for leadership, which he stated was because of his small size, not in spite of it. He was generally friendly towards Bornstellar and was greatly saddened by the memories provided by his geas.
