Character

General

Lyfriel has been long-separated from her proper tribe, and spent much of her life in La Noscea. After losing her mother and sister in the Calamity, she began studying the Arcanum at Mealvaan's Gate, in Limsa Lominsa. She earned a suitable living for herself, and dabbled in the culinary arts, weaving, and most of all, scholarly research. After a series of misfortunes at sea, though, the Sunseeker left La Noscea and found herself in the Twelveswood. Since meeting with Rhesh'ir Zhwan, she has traveled and adventured with numerous others, eventually making her way Southward, into Thanalan.

Appearance

Her face carries tribal markings, as well as a few thin scars. She wears her hair fairly short, and keeps herself generally fit. Her style of clothing has changed to match her environment; she dressed rather well before arriving in the Twelveswood, whereupon her more expensive clothing was replaced by leather and durable cloth. After arriving in Ul'dah, she dressed herself as well as her meager amounts of gil could afford.

Behaviour

Y'lyfriel's demeanor has changed, over the past few moons. After departing her life in Limsa Lominsa, she has found herself more open, curious, and forward in her actions and words. On numerous occasions, she has devoted her full energy and efforts to helping others, sometimes to the point of her own exhaustion. She remains rather stubborn and speaks with a formal tone, but certain influences have encouraged her to try out the occasional teasing and jesting.

Combat

Though she still studies the Arcanum intensely, she has become more accustomed to, and more confident with, the use of her bow. She has seen few true skirmishes, but in all of them she has surprised, even scared, herself by her aptitude for quick thinking, even if it means taking a life..

Relationships

♥ Romantic Interest    ♥ Sexual Desire    ♥ Platonic Love     ● Good Standing    ● Neutral Standing    ● Poor Standing

Friends & Acquaintances ♥● Rhesh'ir Zhwan:She met him in the Black Shroud, and almost immediately his wry, mischievous behavior left her liking him. He introduced her to archery and life within the Twelveswood, both of which are now quite revered by Lyfriel. As she's learned more of his life (albeit, very slowly) she has become more and more fond of him, to the point of realizing an attraction that she, for quite some time, refused to acknowledge. This realization reached its peak when the man was held on trial by the Immortal Flames, where she worked tirelessly to build an appeal in his favor. During this time, she confessed her feelings to him in private, but has been forced to wait until the crisis is resolved, before she can truly speak to him on the subject.  ♥● Tahla'li Tayuun:A Moonkeeper whom Lyfriel met shortly after arriving in the Black Shroud. Though slow to warm to him, he has certainly earned her respect by now. Before Tahla'li's bow arm was injured, he imparted useful archery lessons for her, a kindness which she has attempted to repay by giving advice on channeling aether. This talent, which Tahla'li seems to possess in large quantity, still piques her curiosity.  ● X'linwh Tia:After meeting this young Seeker in the Shroud, it took some while for him to come back into Lyf's graces. The tribal life that he knows often conflicts with Lyfriel's own principles, though, she has become more patient in reacting to them, of late. She feels a deep sadness for X'linwh after being present for the eradication of his tribe, all of whom had been tempered by the primal, Ifrit. Though she stands apart from the man's Seeker heritage, she is constantly curious about it.  ● Dawson Colwell:The hyur conjurer is both a trusted companion and imparter of wisdom. There is little advice Dawson would give that Lyfriel would not listen to. She recognizes his talent in manipulating aether, and senses a difficult past that the man would rather not speak about; something she shares. In spite of her clear admiration and their friendly demeanor towards each other, she often has difficulty approaching him. Regardless, the man's dedication to the party he's traveling with is quite clear to her.  ♥● Onuma Ahntifi:The Keeper woman left a positive impression upon Lyfriel from the moment they met, and even after the occasional strife with other of their acquaintances, her importance has only grown in Lyf's eyes. She often trusts Onuma before any other with whatever is on her mind, to the point of them almost having a sisterly report, at times. Lyfriel has great admiration for the woman's myriad of talents, and the relationship she shares with Lotan'to Jiub.  ● Lotan'to Jiub:Though the Keeper man remains wholly mysterious to Lyf, she has high regard for him and his abilities. He is clearly skilled in combat, yet he maintains a calm and contemplative demeanor that often serves to temper the more fiery attitudes within their party, particularly Onuma's. Though she would readily admit to enjoying the man's company, she has difficulty approaching Lotan'to for much the same reason as she does Dawson.  ● Kodaro Ba'rococo:Though she still knows quite little about this strange Seeker Miqo'te, Lyf has encountered him enough times, and spoken to him in earnest, that she trusts him. His steadfast support of his friends and dedication to his training has earned quite a lot of her respect; Lyfriel is eager to learn more about him.   ● Surilian Blu:While Lyfriel was initially warm and welcoming to this Keeper woman, her recent hostility and apparent duality has chilled these feelings. She knows there is True good in Suri's heart, but cannot fathom why should would attack Onuma so savagely, unprovoked. As such, she does not outwardly trust her.  ● Rah'na Lihzeh:Lyfriel has spent more time around this Miqo'te man of late, though, she still knows very little about him. His close friendship with X'linwh, Tahla'li, and Kodaro put some assurance in her that Rah'na is trustworthy and capable. She would like to learn more of him, and his cousin Chesh'ir, but the series of conflicts she has found herself involved in has prevented it.  ● Pipituu Kipichuu:Though she has only spoke with him once, this Lalafell merchant both impressed and surprised her. His generosity, eagerness, and craftiness piqued her interest, and she still wonders at the possibility of accompanying his caravan to Coerthas.  ● Mijisaa Qisaa:TBD~They really need to meet!  ● U'dahsh'a Nuhn:She does not yet know what to think of this Miqo'te. He is clearly a very talented combatant, and resourceful; is it merely her harsh view on Sunseeker men that keeps her distant, or something else?  ● Sthalmoen Merlskyfwyn:Though it's been some time since Lyf has encountered or spoken with Stahl, she thinks fondly of the Roegadyn woman. She has not forgotten, and will not, how the woman came to the party's aid after their encounter with the Amalj'aa and subsequent battle against Ifrit. She still owes Lyfriel a tour of Ul'dah, though, of late, Lyf has seen more of the city than she really cares to.

Rumours

Easily Overheard Rumours

■ "I've 'eard her gettin' shouted deaf in the Bismark. Don't think the maesters care much for 'er." - Limsa Lominsa Resident

Somewhat Difficult To Overhear Rumours

■ "Always see her alone, that one. Only time not, when she's gettin' the ears beat off her, sparring with Yellowjackets up the beach." - La Noscean Merchant

Rarely Overheard Rumours

■ "I saw her climbing out of an airship, yesterday. All confidence and swagger, one of those godsdammed huge books tucked under one arm. Looked like she'd had a rough day, but was smiling for it.- Yellowjacket

■ "She ran past me, t'other day, red in the face, and a welt the size of a La Noscean orange on her cheek. Hope she sought a healer." - Local Fisher

Player Character Rumours

■ "She believes that if everyone is together that we'll be alright. It's naive, but... endearing." - Rhesh'ir Zhwan

■ "She's a strong-spirited girl, and unlike most sunseekers, I find her pleasant to be around. But she has an air of apologeticness about her that I can't shake, and it almost bothers me, to a degree. She works far too hard to please everyone, and her kindness is a double-bladed edge. What will happen when she runs out of resources to give, I wonder? Will she break, or will something new bloom?" - Onuma Ahntifi

■ "Lyf has a good heart. As far as I'm concerned, she's at the center of our little tribe. She works hard--probably too hard--to make it all work, and for that I am grateful." - Dawson Colwell
