Behaviors

Speech&&Accenting: Abaigeal has an accent that is noted as foreign by most. She will often replace "I's" with "Ah's" and shorten some words while using "Ye" for "You". Along with her accent she will also use her country's colloquialisms which can often be misinterpreted. The sound of her voice is often cheerful and energetic. Though, it can be sultry when with ones she is intimate with.

Demeanor: Abai is drawn to the concept of living life outside the box. She resists being caught up in conventional boundaries and rules, and actively seeks out change for her benefit and often for the benefit of others as a whole. Abai just doesn't sit around hoping for things to come to her. She is more of a go-getter that will do what she can and what she wants. Hence one of the reasons she has left Eri'Lan'.

She has a bit of a playful jesting streak that causes her to constantly go head to head in a battle of witty retorts. Mostly at Soliloquy Tavern one can find such banter and back and forth's between her and other patrons. Abai is determined to stand her ground and eventually get you to believe her. If she tells you the sky is Neon yellow by the end of the night you just might thinks so too, unless of course ye took a bad dose of Rocky Chocobo. That also comes from being a true Eri'ish bony lass. She can develop quite the temper and tear you a new one when you least expect it. Something about Eri'ish women and bad tempers, you know hell hath no fury like a woman scorn. Note of advise unless you enjoy getting your head torn off don't piss off the lass.

Abai does posses a sweet natured side. Her mother bless her soul said it was because she is everyone's sweetheart being born on the start of day of Valentione's Day. She can be the one to let you cry on her shoulder, tell your secrets too. Or hell just enjoy being in her company. She can give you the warm fuzzies.

Quirks&&Ticks: She has a strange affinity to walking about barefoot. Twirls her hair around her finger when annoyed or thinking, at least when it's long. When she wears it short she plays with her braid. Abai also tends to make a TSK noise when she doesn't agree with actions or words. She picks at her nails when nervous or thinking of what to say. Stammers and blushes when extremely nervous, flustered, or in the presence of someone she...fancies.

Likes: Children Dancing Stories- Telling and Listening Drinking Peach Scents Learning new things Fairy tales and Whimsy Fresh Flowers A man with a level head on his shoulders

Dislikes: Those that pick on the weak just because they are strong Stubbing her toes The smell of wet dog Banana's they leave a chalky flavor in her opinion Men who try too hard...but then not hard enough either.

Hobbies: Teaching Dancing (all forms)-Though it //is// nice to have a partner Training Cooking Hand-to-hand combat

Favorites: Favorite Food/Drink: Sour Red Favorite Creatures: Cats Least Favorite Food: Onion's..they make her crey. & Bananas. Least Favorite Creature: None, Known.

Abilities

Adventurer:

Gladiator White Mage/Conjurer Daggers Sword/Shield

Strengths: Quick and nibble on her feet allows her to "dance" her way out of most combat situations. However, she is known for using her loud mouth to taunt and hold attention...in other words she makes good bait.

Weaknesses: As someone has recently pointed out to her there is a difference in gladiator and Gladiator. She knows enough from her child hood hunting with daggers and using throwing knives to use the pointed end. However, She recently has taken up the sword and shield and is not quite used to the weight of armor and actually having to wear shoes. She's rather green, but in a way it also adds to her strength as she in unconventional in her tactics.

Crafter:

Weaver

Strengths: Having had to tend to her father and brother since she was young it only made sense she had to do the tailoring and mending of their clothes. Often times she could be found taking some of her father's shirts and recreating them into something new.

Weaknesses: With recent events finding time to actually do it.

Entertainer:

Bartender/Server Lousy Singer Poet Dancer-Sword Dancer

Strengths: Dancing is something she finds she can get lost in. She can find and create a beauty with something dangerous like live steel and show off its more docile qualities with a strong reminder that it's still lethal. Much like herself if need be.

Weaknesses: Sometimes she will push herself to the limits and realize that she over exerting herself. This usually ends with her passing out on the floor or collapsing on the nearest person.

Family

• Father: Killian Causland (50's)—Born in one of the City States associated with the Island Clusters off to the North-West. Native folk know it as Eri’lan’. Not well known as outsiders, as they have yet to give it a name or put it on the map. It's got a blend of all sorts much like Eorzea. Its believed that long ago there were quite a few Eorzeans had traveled North-West in expansion to claim the land for Eorzea, only when they arrived they fell in love with the land and the natives it was had to leave. Killian is a good natured man business man who married a young foreign woman who landed off the coast of his village when he was just a young lad of 19 cycles. A striking young woman that towered above him caught his eye and he had never regretted it. He currently still resides in the Island Clusters, only traveling to Eorzea for Merchant trips and to check on Abaigeal.

• Mother: Sabine (Rainer) Causland (Deceased) Highlander Hyur that was a part of a nomadic tribe of peoples. A ruthless and almost savage people one would say. While amidst a squirmish with a group of Sea Wolf's that eventually ended on their ship, a storm had struck and set the ship off course to the North-West landing them on a place the natives called Eri'Lan'. Upon landing and waking up from the ship wreckage she found the people had taken a kindness to her and her people. Assisting to the wounded and tending to the weak. The people went as far as to offering their supplies and homes to the taller robust strangers and the remaining Sea Wolf crew. She had met Killian and his family that day, eventually falling for and wedding into his family.

• Brother: Faolan Causland (31)—Oldest child of the Causland's. Faolan while five years older than his sister had always felt the need to protect her. While he never really saw her as "sister" he had always seemed to note that she was able to keep up with him and his best friend Ayden. As years went by his need to protect and look after his sister faded as it proved she could do more and more herself; almost becoming more useful and better at things that he was supposed to be good at. While he never showed his jealousy or resentment he often wished that Abaigeal would fall from her pedestal that their father had placed her upon. A month before her 16th birthday, that day would come. He regretted harboring any ill feeling and has strived to at the very least keep in touch with his Sister. He has since married and has produced a daughter. One whose spirit reminds him very much of his beloved sister.

• Sister: Isabel Tolen -(22) Adoptive While it started as a harmless joke between Abaigeal teasing one of her patrons into thinking Isabel was her sister, the two have actually grown quite close. The small joke has since carried over into Abai's mind where she does indeed regard the younger woman as her sibling. Friends of the two often can hear them refer to each other as "Sis" or "Seester". She enjoys her company and hopes that some day Isabel may actually regard Abai as sort of an adoptive sibling of sorts as she has told the lass on many occasions that she is always there is she needs "family".

Friends and Associates

The rough form that would have come from her mother’s “Highlander” side is Abigail. Still, the same meaning but with her father’s origin. Her last name has a few interesting meanings.

The Original origin of the name is unknown though thought to be nomadic people who had migrated about.

Backstory:

Eri'Lan Early Years:

0 - Joyous is she who was born on the day of Valentiones.

Show text

"Joyous is she who was born on the day of Valentiones," was the blessing whispered over the tiny babe quietly sleeping in her mother's loving embrace. She was of soft peaches and cream skin coated with a hint of rose colored blush to her cheeks, chin and nose. Small freckles pepper the newborns face, while thick dark lashes line her lids. A proud father standing over mother and child as a five year old mop headed lad peek up from the side of the covers.

"She's beautiful...every spitting feature of her Ma." He crooned idly stroking the long and sweat matted locks of the labored woman. "She even has yer peaceful sleeping features..." His smile splitting his features as a large calloused hand gently stroked the babe's cheek.

"Aye...She is Beautiful...Though I see she has more of her Da...The pert little nose...and the—" She was silenced by a soft kiss that was placed upon her lips. A ghost of mused utterance bubbled from the woman's lips. "Killian...ye keep that up and the two will have a another shortly after..." She jested shifting her arm a bit.

"Faolan, Meet your sister..." She raised her elbow to as so teh young lad could catch a better glimpse. His brows furrowed with a pout upon his lips. "What's wrong my little Wolf?" She question the boy with a chuckle.

With a sharp exhale the youth clambered upon the mother's bed crawling closer and gently poking the Sleeping girl's cheek. His brows furrowed again as he finally replied. "Mama...This...is a seester...Ah wanted a brudder..." He woeful sighed again before questioning. "What can Ah do with a lass..." He frowned again as the two parents chuckled rather bemused.

"Ah me boy...she may look like a doll now...but ye'll see. She'll find a way to bring ye joy—joy..." Killians face light up as he looked to his wife. "Sabine...Ah think Ah have a name..."

The tired woman quirked a brow. "Oh? You do? You mean I don't get to pick this time?" She chuckled, her slight movements lightly jostling the sleeping bad as so she uttered a soft and peaceful coo. "Oh...we shouldn't wake the wee one..." She whispered.

"Aye,aye...but her name...Abaigeal...It means—"

"It means Joyous...or one who brings joy..." Sabine weakly smiled up to husband. "Tis the same back home..." She looked to the little one resting before kissing the top of the red and russet tressed babe. "What do you think Faolan?" She questioned the young lad her gaze rising from her daughter to her son.

"Ah still think she should be a brudder...And Ah don't know //hooow// she will bring joy." The five year old crossed his arms in a pout before his features soften. A small hand reached out and caught her brothers finger in her sleep. His hazel eyes widen for a moment before a smile crossed his face.

"Da!! Da!!! She—She touched me first!!!" He beamed brightly as the infant hadn't moved since placed in her mother's arms. "She...er...Aba-..Abai--Abai-ge-al. She touched me!!! Ah'm her favorite!!" he proudly mused and sputtered with excitement.

"Seems Faolan, will have no problem with a sister..." Sabine cooed reaching her hand up for her husband's.

"Aye...seems so..." He smiled back taking her hand in his. "Seems that our lit'le lass is also earning her name this namesday..." he mused.

5 - Death of her Mother, A Lass is raised a Lad.

Show text

Abaigeal without her mother was raised along side her brother. Her father having no indication of what young ladies should or shouldn't know raised her as a "second son" of sorts. She grew up sort of tomboyish learning how to do things that was traditionally considered male of the house.

7 - Learning the ways of the house...someone has too.

Show text

Still learning things such as hunting, and fishing she hadn't quiet realized that there was things such as gender roles. Not until a family moved in next door. They had a son her brothers age. The two siblings would often go over to play, however the older woman took a curious interest in her. Wondering why she hadn't quite learned some of the expected "normal" things that young girls usually know by that age. Not that the kinder woman couldn't understand that it was probably more fun to learn how to hunt and skin marmot then to clean and wash clothes. Still feeling she should at least help Killian, Abaigeal was soon learning how to cook and do wash and learn various house mouse chores.

10 - Me & My Brother &--& His Friend.

Show text

Ayden. His name was Adyen and he could climb trees faster then Faolan! He was faster at running and better with a bow. But certain not nearly as good with a blade as Abai. The three children were inseparable.Pretending they were adventures going on a grand expedition. Like three peas in a pod. Of course this also the awkward age when Abai stared to realize that boys were...uh...boys. Her attitude would fluctuate between blushy blushy and seeing Ayden as nothing more then a brother.Her first crush ever.

15 - A Proposal one //can// refuse.

Show text

Killian had taken a few trips to the homeland of her mother. His travels as a merchant taking hi to new places and meeting new people. Over the years he had developed a relationship with a wealth elezen merchant who happened to have a son about a few cycles ahead of Abai. The two felt it would be great to have a union of trade. The elezen merchant having expand his horizons to the Isle City-States across the water with out having to do the actual work. The only catch would be to ensure that the business deal not go south was to send Abaigeal to be a pawn of business. She would wed their son,and she would become a mindless trapped doll that would be required to learn in the trade and help her "husband" in away possible. Needless to say. It wasn't long after her father had her pack her things. She was thinking she was going to accompany him on this trip just after her fifteenth cycle, only when they reached the pier she learned the truth. Terrified, scared, and with reckless abandon she ran getting swept away by the crowds and finding herself on another ship. It didn't matter where it was going. But where ever it was. It would be her choice.

16 - Always keep moving. Traveling Performance.

Behind the Scenes (OOC Information)

Name Scheme for Abaigeal and her Family:

As when Abaigeal was created , her intended was to be an Irish like hyur. Her speech was to be a replication dialect and lingo of such. Especially with the term “Highlander” for a Clan descriptor. My head immediately took it to “Gaelic Highlander’s” However, with the name scheme info that was released, It seems I lucked out and don’t have to change anything really! Except for finding Germanic-Irish names, which are often associated with Palatine Germans, (Lutheran’s who were prosecuted by the French and driven from Germany to England. Who migrated to Ireland) Anyhow on to explanations!

Abaigeal Causland- (“Joyful or Joyous”) The name Abaigeal is spelled with the Gaelic pronunciation. The Germanic form that would have come from her mother’s “Highlander” side is Abigail. Still the same meaning but with her father’s origin

Sabine (Rainer) Causland – (“Tribe of Sabine” “Advice-&-Army”). The name “SABINE” itself is a female Germanic name as well as the surname RAINER. They are referenced to be kind of brute force and tribal with names that instill fear or are graphic. While SABINE is the name of an actual nomadic tribe that existed throughout Europe, it seemed appropriate.

Rainer- Is name that can be interpreted as “Wise Army” Or “Army Adviser” Which fits with the powerful connotation that is supposed to be shown in the “HIGHLANDER” name scheme. It’s origin is also Palatine, but leans more towards Germanic.

Killian Causland (“Associated with Church” “[absolom] Peace”). This is the Huge tying in factor to the whole name scheme of tying Irish and German names together to create Abaigeal. Killian or Cillian means “associated with the Church” and comes from A missionary that traveled across Europe and about the Rhines. The Rhines is where the Palatine people had roughly originated.

The name Causland is more widely known for Scottish, but has been found in some Irish linage. The Original origin of the name is unknown though thought to be nomadic people who had migrated from Europe.

Faolan Causland –("Wolf" or "Follower of the Warrior") It seemed like something a Highlander would name their son but incorporates “Eri’lan’” naming.

Name/Alias: Elle/Lauren or you can call me Abai.
