"It's strange, I've met so many people and very few of them I'll ever see again." - Kaiya Ailbhe

Basic Info

At an unimposing five fulms, Kaiya was a typical, lean, pale-skinned, white-haired Miqo'te. Her eyes were blue, with round pupils characteristic of Keepers of the Moon and almost everyone else. Thin, tribal streaks were drawn across the side of her face. Her usual attire was well kept, and she was rarely seen without a pair of round glasses on her face and a grimoire at her side.

History

At a young age, Kaiya's parents uncharacteristically took her to the Arcanist's Guild and left her within their care. Given her age and experience with the world, she was unaware of how abnormal her presence was as a Keeper of the Moon child. During the near two decades she spent there, her parents visited once a year, occasionally missing a year if something important came up. During her time at the Arcanist's Guild, she excelled at her studies and gained a patriotic zeal for Limsa Lominsa. When the lost arts of the Nymian Scholars resurfaced, she began to learn them as soon as possible. A little over two years ago, she took a special interest in field work and travel. Eventually, she moved to Ul'Dah to begin work for a Company known as the Hungry Wolves.

Many a person she met in Ul'dah and the Wolves, friends and acquaintances alike. Most of them she met and never saw again. Others she finds once in a blue moon. Still others who were once close have drifted for various reasons. It still left a positive impression on her overall. Regardless, the steady decline of friends coupled with a feeling of stagnation caused her to move on. She left the Hungry Wolves, which had re-branded itself into Desert Fang, and moved to Gridania. She joined the Heartwood Trading Company, as ties to the Company encouraged her to make the attempt to reapply her abilities to a different set of work.

Personality

While she managed to be among some of the most astute students of Arcanist magics, she lacked in social graces for most of her time in the Guild. As time progressed, she grew to be a kind, caring, formal woman. Being social in large groups was once a challenge for her, but as time passed she vastly improved in her abilities to speak and listen. At one time, her caring nature was a near farce, only a tool for a cold, calculating tactician trained by the Arcanist's Guild, but a few genuine friends gave her a reason to care for others in earnest.

She keeps a particular formality around her, oftentimes struggling to remember using informal nicknames in place of a simple Mister or Miss. Her standing posture was straight, chin held high, arms often held in front of her or behind her with her hands lightly clasped. She frequently adjusted her glasses, though it has become more habit than necessity. Her tail remained almost completely still at all times, though her ears still moved frequently to pick up the sounds around her.

Affiliations

Limsa Lominsa - Her home, and the home of the Arcanist's Guild. For better or worse, she carries an unquestioning loyalty to her city-state.

Desert Fang - Her former Free Company, she aided them in whatever way she can. Before a shift of leadership, she served as an adviser to one of the primary leaders of the Company. After the shift, she was largely unneeded as an adviser and went back to her normal work of paperwork and running a seldom used clinic.

Heartwood Trading Co. - Her current Free Company, she aids them with paperwork, a combat medic, and a doctor. She views the Company with tentatively high regard, though her confidence in the membership as a whole is shaky at best. Still, she finds herself grateful to have active work.

Other Notes

- She has a small, but effective network in Limsa Lominsa.

- One of the few, behavioral traits she kept as a Keeper was a preference for moonlight over sunlight.

- She regularly submits research to the Arcanist's Guild.

- Her glasses have a band tied behind her glasses to keep them to her face.
