A'ielia Raha

[edit] Details Personality Relationships Rumors Gallery OOC Notes GENERAL INFORMATION When A'raha Nunh defeated the former in combat the once isolated Antelope Tribe of Doma's plains saw themselves brought to the forefront of the Resistance as per the shifting leadership. A'yenja Dhol, a Huntress, served as the primary consort for a time before producing twins named A'ielia and A'onane. Raised beside others they proved free spirited, prone to wanderlust, precocious, stubborn, and eager to experience whatever the world threw at them with an unchecked fearlessness. A'ielia took up the arts of magic and utilized a peculiar to foster her talent: she possessed the Echo and some of its abilities. Gifted with Aetheric Sight, Linguistic Comprehension, and Clairvoyance to some degree, she proved able to see through camouflage and spells; but also to identify nearby energies and blend them into spells. Tempered by in her teenage years by the loss of her sister to the Garleans that assaulted them, she raged in her adulthood and joined the Resistance as a way to avenge A'onane. With help from allies newly found and some brought together, A'ielia saw the liberation of her people and those too within the Doman Borders; but Ala Mhigo also needed aid and as such? She left with the blessings of her Tribe and journeyed to fight back against the Garleans there. As the fighting came to a strange place of peace and than not, she took what time she could to traverse the lands of Eorzea now open to her and to even see the strange lands of the First. Now left to wander in the wake of the war, she acts in an almost mercenary fashion: collecting what she can to assist others; but always keen of learning. APPEARANCE Slender as she seems, A'ielia is someone whose body contains a decent amount of leaner muscle and overall athleticism. Be it running or swimming long distances, or even staying long in the fight- she seems to have both durability and endurance cut into into her as well. This however does not take away from the fact that she fairly small among her people and stands at below the average for most Miqo'te. Feminine with more subtle curves to her, she often seems tomboyish in appearance and this is only aided by the youthfulness in her vivid green eyes and dewy complexion. Unlike other Seekers who came from the deserts or tropical regions, A'ielia came from the plains of Doma and therefor has some notable differences in how she appears and what her features are. Like many Seekers she has vertically slit pupils, but her fangs are slightly less pronounced in length and her claws seem a bit sharper and longer naturally. Her tail is also long and easily touches the ground but a majority of it's bulk is a thick fur coating, and as with her tail- her ears are larger with an elongated tip and stiffly postured on the top of her head. Thicker 'furred' she has a secondary downy layer of fur in her hair and it gives her a strange look as it puffs her hair ever so slightly. Aspects That Stand Out: ■ Hair: Pink ■ Eyes: Green ■ Height: 5 fulm, 4 ilm ■ Weight: 100 Ponz ■ Build: Athletic & Lean ■ Markings: Freckles on the face/shoulders ■ Scars: Burn mark, left shoulder. PERSONALITY To the eye and upon meeting her, one might accuse her of being grouchy at best or depressed at worst given her almost pessimistic nature and dark humor; but to anyone who can see through the vain attempts to make herself feel better- she's a caring individual with a deep sense of empathy and compassion for her fellows who uses the rough edges to keep herself from getting hurt. Tempered and patient, she has an almost maternal quality to how she makes cares about her friends and has little issue with mediating fights or squabbles when they happen. Though she has a soured view on the war and the Garleans, it's more recognizable that her hatred of them comes from pain and anguish... from loss. Duty and conviction bind her, and she serves as best she can to help and fight for others, but at times she has trouble getting passed her stubbornness and pride to realize that she herself might need help. L I K E S ■ Tea. Doman brews especially, with more savory flavors. ■ Fishing. When able, and often on a boat. ■ Spicy Food. Anything pickled, fermented, and HOT. ■ Cloud Watching. Is it a fish? A bird? An airship?! ■ Good Conversation. All topics, warts and all. D I S L I K E S ■ 'Needless Suffering'. Kill them and get it over with, torture and pain are the tools of weaker individuals. ■ Disloyalty. Betrayal is a deeper cut than one can know. ■ Overly Sweet Food. Too much sugar rots your teeth and crashes you. H O B B I E S ■ Weaving. Knitting too, anything with string and yarn. ■ Aetheric Study. The Aether is a thing to be understood. ■ Brewing. Fermentation is an art, and good beer is hard to find. S T R E N G T H S ■ The Echo. Like many, A'ielia heard the call of something greater than herself and was blessed by it's gift. Able to utilize minor clairvoyance to see the future or glimpse into the past she also found that no matter the language, she could comprehend and speak it back with ease. This was all culminated however to her oddly unique ability: Aetheric Sight. A'ielia herself is actually blind but the Echo gave her the ability to see colors, patterns, and the whole of the worlds as they are in their energy. For some this is troublesome as she can pinpoint Garleans and their technology without fail, and certain other facets stand out as well: forbidden and voidal things that would kill her for seeing them. ■ Heightened Abilities. Due to her natural blindness A'ielia developed a stronger sense of smell, taste, hearing, and touch: thus she has an easier time picking up vibrations and movements; but more importantly it's nigh impossible to sneak up on her due to how strong her senses are. W E A K N E S S E S ■ Sensitivity to Brightness. Her Aetheric Sight has a cost, A'ielia is prone to migraines and headaches, and can easily be blinded for seconds or minutes by a violent and strong enough clash of Aether. ■ Alcoholism. Drinking to kill the pain has made it so that she has developed an addiction that has physical consequences, pushing herself too far makes it obvious that she may only be as strong as she is because she's too stubborn to be seen otherwise. M O T I V A T I O N S ■ 'For Hearth, Home, and Family'. The world is cold and does not care about those within it, it will cannibalize itself if nature pleases; but A'ielia cares and finds herself dedicated to the cause of peace and unity. This keeps her active and out in the world, trying always to secure a better future for her people and those around her.

Thea Cromwell, Friend. (♦) - The Student. Character's Thoughts: "The Lost." Ahelissa's first Conjury student through the Free Mages Guild. Thea has become a powerful conjurer in her own right. Mentoring a student in the ways of empathy and healing can be a very touching experience for those involved and as such, Ahelissa is very close to Thea. Iona Falconsoul, Friend. (♦) - The Student. Character's Thoughts: "The Mender." Another adept of Conjury met through the Free Mages Guild, After their initial meeting they became fast friends.

Character's Thoughts: "The Shadow." Originally a mercenary under the employ of Domhnall Anifean. Ahelissa met Ylaziel in earnest when both her and Isycar Heilrendre needed treatment at the Savaliere clinic. Ylaziel's small frame and quiet demeanor evoke a motherly feeling in Ahelissa giving her a soft spot for the little Au'Ra, she has since come to consider Ylaziel a good friend.. Kaelen Royeaux, Friend. (♦) - The Student. Character's Thoughts: "The Forestborne." Longtime friend and fellow Conjurer from Stillfane Glade, Kaelen grew worried at Ahelissa's extended absence and came to Notre Ciel to find her.

Captian of the Wraith squad, Kyo is a proficient user of void and a fairly competent warrior. While Ahelissa respects these things, she does not appriceate some of the man's past tactics in battle or his sometime brisk and unfriendly demeanor. Its because of these reasons Ahelissa tends to avoid interacting at length with Kyo when she can. Jarek Savaliere, Neutral. (●) - The Power-Hungry. Character's Thoughts: "Her Ex-Husband." Jarek holds the dubious honor of being Ahelissa's first husband. Ahelissa saved him from years of servitude as the thrall of a Voidsent. He wished to prove his worthiness of Ahelissa's love, but took it to extremes that eventually drove them apart. Ahelissa left Jarek with his brother in Ishgard, with his brother Baron Killian Savaliere and swore never to return to Ishgard. Isycar Heilrendre, Neutral. (✖) - The Crass. Character's Thoughts: "The Saboteur." A Mercenary hired by Domhnall Ainfean, Isycar gained Ahelissa's ire quickly after coming into Domhnall's employ.

Ex-Guard and warrior for Notre Ciel, 'Kal' as he's known hovers in a unique spot among the people on Ahelissa's list. While she considers him a friend and capable warrior, she cannot condone some actions that he has taken on recent joint missions, and as such tends to keep him at arms length. Levidian Savaliere, Enemy. (✖) - The Adversary. Character's Thoughts: "The Void-Thrall." Levidian Savaliere was the head of house Savaliere when Ahelissa came to work for Notre Ciel. It was later discovered that Levidian was a Dark mage and at least one encounter with him and his minions left Ahelissa's sister, Roysa, injured badly enough she was unable to continue as a guard for Notre Ciel.

Artwork Screenshots ಌ OOC NOTES ಌ OOC INFORMATION Player Note I rarely plan my characters future, so everyone she meets and interacts with has an effect on her, some are chronicled here - some not. Personal RP Limits I do not ERP, nor do I involve myself with story arcs that bring torture or harm to children. Yes, implying something happend in the past is fine, but Ahelissa is the sort of person that would instantly step in and put a wrench in the works for stories that revolve around those things. ■ I will playRescue of said suffering children.. Happy endings for the little ones is my only requirement, most other things I am open to if you send a tell first so that we can clear up any grey areas. ■ I won't playAhelissa and her family are off limits. I enjoy playing her as a character and intend on keeping her around for a long while hale and whole. Disclaimer Little Tidbits. ■ I'm not unreasonable. Send me a tell and we can talk about what you have in mind. CHARACTER TIDBITS Potential Plot Hooks Ahelissa was sent home to Ishgard after the fall of the Stone Vigil and hailed a hero before she was granted her Knighthood with the Dragoons. People will occasionally recognize her for this. ■ A prolific healer, Ahelissa is always helping people whever she can - it's entirely possible she's treated you in the past if you've passed through Gridania and been refused treatment by Stillfane Glade. ■ She trains Conjury at Stillfane Glade, if your character is a Conjurer or White Mage it's possible she's helped you in your education of Conjury. ■ Ahelissa is a Hearer and recognized by Gridania as being a Hearer, as such, she does conduct official business for Stillfane Glade from time to time. ■ Ahelissa has fought with the Warrior of Light on at least two occasions, it's possible that someone who did the same fought at the same battles as them. Character Lore Adherence As a player I try to adhere to game lore as closely as possible, however I am willing to bend here and there in the interest of a good story. ■ No changes required.
