Backstory

Written by Tamm'lin Maertena's Player

The start of this story is that there isn't even a start. S'kye quite literally woke up in some damned forest one day, couldn't remember where they were, who they were, and whose shirt they even had on. No wounds could be seen, no chocobos nearby, and really it almost seems the lalafell just laid down for a nap... then forgot her life. Which, in hindsight... isn't all that great. However, S'kye managed to bumble out of the forest and into a nearby village of Sun Seekers, who luckily for S'kye, managed to take pity on the poor, portly, and apparently brain-absent thing. They took the Lalafel in, assuming she was a child from the skies, who'd been sent down for a second chance at life. The Clan gave her a name and integrated here into the village with much joy.

As the Lalafel spent her time with the village of Miqo'te, curious things started to happen. The Lalafell gained the ability to read, write, and speak with grace and brevity, without being taught - And in all manner of tongues! More than that, the Lalafell seemed to have extensive knowledge in Aether manipulation and esoteric mathematics, which seemingly came up at random. They couldn't remember the information at will, but the flashes that came on their own were powerful things, and S'kye's heading often pounding in pain afterwards for a few moments each time a piece of new information came rushing back to them."

When she finally left the Seeker tribe to travel forth into the world, to much fanfare because the cats really did enjoy her sunshine-face waddling around camp, S'kye eventually found herself in Ul'dah.

Why Ul'dah? Well... she liked the way the name rolled off the tongue. "Uuuuhhhlll'Daaaah!" She'd murmur, smiling to herself, adorable nose wrinkling up.

The moment she stepped foot into the city... nothing happened. No memories came flooding back, no ghostly twinges of "This looks familiar...", no pulls towards any sort of direction.

And this was good and pleasing to S'kye, who'd spent the last few years at the whim of her flighty memories.

With gil in her purse and a cheerful waddle to her step, the socially awkward, perhaps rightfully so, Lalafell began a new life in Ul'dah.

Now, even though her moments of painful memory return were now few and far between... she still had such a warm, comfortable feeling towards the magickal arts. It started out as curiosity, but quickly became full-on near insatiable lust for all types of magickal knowledge.

... And she seemed to have such a strange affinity for reptiles, of all things. Huh, weird!

LIKES ■ Reading EVERYTHING. ■ Writing about everything in her Journal. ■ Practising magicks. ■ Not being dead. ■ The feeling of a dagger in each hand. ■ Chocobo Hatchlings. ■ Studying everything that can possibly be studied.

DISLIKES ■ Regaining Memories of her past self. (They're the most painful to regain.) ■ Remnants of the Calamity. ■ People who use magic. ■ Her eye colour. ■ Brutes.

FLAWS ■ Regains memories at the worst times, incapacitating her. ■ Naive - Her lack of knowledge often results in people taking advantage of her with lies. ■ Reads too much. ■ Really short.

Appearance & Personality

Despite living with a village of people that worshipped the day, S'kye herself is actually quite pale. It's unbeknownst if this is due to her health or her love for robes.

Her bobbed hair is a dark black colour that often matches the dark attire she usually wears. Despite living in the dry deserts of Thanalan, her hair seemingly remains smooth and soft.

S'kye's love of black clothing doesn't come from some brooding nature or love of darkness, she simply likes black clothing because she likes the color and being able to blend into the shadows when large, scary, predators try to eat her. She usually wears some dark robes with her hood down, but has also acquired some pale formal attire in her travels. A lover of shinies, S'kye tends to wear whatever pretty rings and miscellany she can find.

The most unique feature of the Lalafel is her eyes. Not unheard of but still quite rare for a Lalafel, S'kye's heterochromia is often the subject of teasing and insults. She jokingly says that one of her eye's turned red after she defeated Ifrit (which she didn't) as a sign of her gaining the Primals power (a lie).
