Suen is a Keeper of the Moon miq'ote born in the North Shroud in a small family of botanists living on the outskirts of Hyrstmill.
Oblivious of everything by nature, Suen is the perfect example of the scatterbrain and clumsy girl often obsessed with Magitek and tinkering, spooky lore and cool adventures.
Very autonomous and independent, she is also incredibly nosy, cheeky and crafty.
Rather small in size even for a mi'qote and frail in stature, Suen still developed the necessary stamina to wander the roads everyday. She tends to exhibit a mousy, nerdy and tomboyish appearance. Her hair is taupe, and her pale complexion, long ears and fangs, and her round hazelnut eyes are typical of the Keepers of the Moon. Suen's sleek, delicate features are often hidden behind dust, dirt or soot, and her hair most of the time disheveled and running wild. The time spent on her journey out of the Twelveswood gave her skin a tanner complexion than she used to show.
Scars & Markings: Her skin is generally pretty flawless, when clean, but a few cuts and marks hard to define can be found all around her hands and limbs, which are probably the product of her inability to deal with manual labor without hurting herself in the process. A more recent scar on her shoulder was left by an arrow. She also has a few cute freckles on her cheeks, as well as your typical, average female Keeper markings on her cheeks.
Voice: Suen speaks with a deep Gridanian accent that can also show hints of Mi'qote Keeper tongue. Her voice tends to be somewhat high-pitched, but not crystal clear, rather hoarse. Overall, the opposite of the aristocratic type.
Clothing: Suen is often seen wearing simple, ample, yet sturdy clothes either cut for workshops, or travel and woods. Overall, it often gives her a rather rugged, roguish aspect that she arbors with pride.

Suen is a spirited girl that enjoys satisfying her curiosity while fleeing her responsibilities. She cares very little for luxuries or mannerisms, she can eat for two and be infinitely nosy over anything which tends to make her behavior rather unpredictable.
In spite of her nerdy ability to get overexcited at the mention of new horizons, obscure lore, and technology, Suen shares the solitary nature of her kin with great zeal, often gone and wandering around by herself. She can sometimes be found lost in her thoughts, or outright living in her own world. Her clear lack of realism can make her engage into incredibly risky situations that no sane person would consider even vaguely safe to do, but she has now learned to somewhat temper that tendency of hers.
Due to her awful clumsiness, she is for most people a walking danger that should be kept away, which often prevented her to make a lot of friends. In direct relation to that, she lacks of self-confidence and tries to overcompensate by acting tough, cool and rebellious with a 'No fucks given' mentality, but will turn very awkward every time her personal feelings get put on the table.
Suen tends to loath conformism and authority and is a bit of an anarchist. She is pragmatically disillusioned with any form of higher ethics and honour - concepts she finds utterly naive, hypocrite, self-deceiving and stupid - and she usually puts the emphasis on her own well being and can show an infinite amount of devotion to her few friends.

Suen has a serious knack for machinistry and firearms, for which she shows an innate affinity despite her clumsiness. She has elementary knowledge in botany - especially in her native land - and as the eccentric she is, somewhat well read.
Under her propensity for the worst to happen and her utterly clumsy manners, Suen hides a keen and cunning mind: she is way smarter than she lets it appear. Left alone, she remains rather resourceful and can get as crafty as foxes. Her pragmatic upbringing in the woods taught her to do with very little and simple things, and she rarely requires a lot for subsistence, used to take from nature what nature gives.
Like most of her kin, she inherited of some of their traits, like powerful legs, ears and smell, although certainly not in an order of magnitude similar to those shown by the hunters of the family. Suen was not especially favored among her kin for her martial or hunting prowess. While not outright weak, she remains a frail individual, but her constant vagrancy on the road gives her a surprising amount of endurance.
Like for most manual labour, aetheryte travel is something that eludes her, not that because she lacks in anima or connection to aetherial powers, but simply due to her rather random ability to teleport herself everywhere but at the destination she had initially planned.
Born near the small village of Lucky Autumn bordering Hyrstmill in the North Shroud. Suen was raised in the art of botany along her only sister so that she could take part in the family business by helping her mother. Small in size and all but wealthy, the Shiyuh family was nevertheless recognized and appreciated in the botanists guild in Gridania for its usually unconventional take on the trade. This made them naturally part of the Keepers integrating and meshing well with the gridanian society.
Suen was mostly known around Gridania for working as the little delivery girl sent by her mother to replace her sister that was dead set training to become part of the God's Quiver. She quickly got quite fond of scaring little gridanian children with all kinds of twisted spooky tales. What people chose to remember though was her uncanny ability to mess things up at the most random times, and her rather strange obsession with the nearby Castrum Oriens and garlean stuff didn't exactly help her making many friends.
For her coming of age at around sixteen cycles, Suen refused to play the family game with a wandering male. Added to the whole lot of her eccentricities, she got into heated arguments with her mother over tradition and responsibility, and the eventual mention of the Coeurlclaws being the only alternative was the last straw for the young Keeper. It leaded her to the rash decision of enlisting into the garlean military as a middle finger to everyone, but an incident involving a magitek Reaper cut everything to a closure and Suen left the Twelveswood on her own with the intention to lead a new, free life on a journey across Eorzea.

-
Raih is a Keeper from the Shroud. She was the first person that Suen met on her arrival to Thanalan. Sharing a passion for spooky tales and rogue feats of all kinds, they immediately became good friends, enjoying each other's company, although Suen fell completely and unflinchingly for her. Suen eventually had to confess to Raih.
-
Lise is a cute silly Xaela from clan Avagnar who used to play detective when Suen met her. She tends to be clumsy and inexperienced about everything in Eorzea, but Suen believes she just lacks a lot of self confidence. She loves her colourful imagination and happy go lucky mood and finds her crazy and overblown antics pretty fun. As they grew pretty close overtime, Suen never really suspected that Lise had a thing for her, until Lise disappeared, kidnapped by enemies of her clan.
Aeon
Aurou is a sharlayan Keeper of the Moon, experienced in conjury and dating Leon. She is a quiet and nice girl that likes making everyone happy, and cares a lot for her entourage. She proved to be an unyielding compassionate confident for Suen, even if they do not agree on everything.
Aeon
Leon - or 'Laid-back Leon as for Suen - hails from Ishgard and is Aurou's significant other. He is cool headed and fun, easy going with everyone. Leon is a lot into allagan technology and proved to be a weathered, insensitive to pain machine. His past as a child soldier probably seems to hide a darker side that Suen is unaware of.
The Crimson Guard
Arzilia is a midlander fallen dragoon that passed for dead to her kin. Her and Suen met while traveling and a recent salvage run saw the flirty Hyur overcoming Suen's defenses and steal a kiss or two, leaving the Mi'qote overly confused about the whole ordeal.
Order of Ouroboros
Oyuu is the one that brought Suen to work with the Order. That somewhat jaded Xaela is not very talkative and forthcoming and prefers to keep everything up to the point, but otherwise surprisingly considerate toward Suen.
Order of Ouroboros
J'Takra is a wise-ass, snarky Seeker that seems to accompany Oyuu everywhere he goes. Suen finds him funny well enough, and appreciate his realistic, cynical views on morality.
Order of Ouroboros
Arthurioux is a young elezen also part of the order. Suen appreciates that he proved to be a learned man able to discuss on intellectual subjects, while staying pretty modest.
Wayfarers of Eorzea
Tira and Suen met in Hawthorne's Hut, caught out in a thunderstorm. She is a gridanian orphan and turned very friendly with Suen. They wandered around in the Shroud, even flirting with the outskirts of Castrum Oriens, and promised to see each other again for a discovery trip in Ishgard.
-
L'rah is an eccentric extroverted Seeker and a good friend of Raih who tends to flirt -very- crudely with every man there is, although it doesn't prevent him to direct his lewd comments on pretty much everyone. Suen understood pretty fast that it might actually be a way for him to overcome a deep lack of confidence, perhaps.
Evenstar Institute
Sami is the cool-headed and cute daughter of Yashaix, and proved to have quite a different personality. Suen immediately got along with her easy going and tough, "shrug it off" nature. They recently saw each other again on a mission to slay a coerthan dragon.
-
Suen met Vayne in Lemieux' den of sky pirates. The elezen does his best to piss everyone he meets and reeks real danger in Suen's eyes, which didn't exactly prevented her to make a deal with him on possible Magitek exchanges.
Dufresne Bellworks
Brave is a laid back and considerate Hellsguard. She used to work for the Aeon company and took care of the Airship maintenance. Suen paid her a visit at her new place, Dufresne Bellwork, where she got introduced to Barev's group, some of them ex Aeon members.
Aeon
Morgana is a self appointed taumathurgic witch that spends her time teasing people on their flaws, often bordering on petty bullying or just outright harassment. Suen got the target of those jokes to a point where she seriously started considering killing her at the first opportunity.
Lemieux Skytrade
Tristanaud runs a privateer and trading air company, hiding yet another skypirate den. Suens immediately got along with his flair for tales and adventure but she quickly got a glimpse of how dangerous the man seemed to be under the mask.
-
Culann is a dashing but hung-up and polite ishgardian blacksmith that happens to work on airships and Magitek, which immediately caught Suen's attention. She hopes to work on possible projects with him with the goal to learn proper theory, or to share tricks together.
Aeon
Ferus is a cold, no-nonsense Mighan bastard. He used to belittle Suen at the first occasion, but his grumpy and cynical side actually made Suen change her mind progressively. He has always been ready to help her without any questions though, and he might have accepted her as part of the group since she killed someone.
Aeon
Kairen is another member of Aeon, an she is bonded to with Ferus, to Suen's uneasiness considering their race and age difference. Suen thinks she really should get to know her better.
Aeon
Lute acts as a liaison for the Maelstrom and is quite versed into Arcanima. Suen mostly knows that she is very wealthy and proved to be nice enough every time they had to work together.
Aeon
Oyungujin is another Aeon member, secretive, not very talkative, and risk and violence averse. He seems to seep a certain amount of dark mystery which made Suen immediately smell a shady, spooky past.
Aeon
Rei'li is Leon brother. Suen met him a few times during her time at Aeon and they got along well, although his sudden shows of affection tended to freak her out.
Aeon
Leilani is Aeon's young lalafellin (pink) bard. She is very green and still a bit of a child, but her actual courage and willingness to deal with threats made Suen appreciative of her ability to be a 'badass kid' when required.
Aeon
Khuja'sae is the son of an intricate Keeper family. He is a young boy but already lost an eye and gets into a lots of trouble constantly. Suen found him somewhat whimsical and whiny, but sweet otherwise.
-
That nice looking Keeper guy is an acquaintance of Raih that Suen met a few times. He also shares the same homeland and Suen liked talking about all those spooky tales on the primal Odin with him. Like with Raih, Suen felt aat ease with him.
RareX
Ki'lari is a Keeper matriarch that mistook Suen for someone else and abducted her, almost torturing the young Keeper. Albeit definitely shaken and wary, Suen learned to see how caring Ki'lari was for her group, that she is without news from since then.
Aethereal Warriors
Paul caught Suen in Uld'ah when she got the attention of the authorities by sneaking into the area around Castrum Meridianum. Fortunately not really interested in taking her to the Blades, he offered Suen that she do some investigative work for him instead, as bait.
- ■ "What is that cute little animal you draw Suen?", "It's a Morbol, mom." 7 year-old Suen and her mother
- ■ "The Twelve know why, but the child suddenly decided not to eat meat again and live on vegetables! What got into her this time?" Suhyi Shiou, during her daughter teen whimsical crises
- ■ "But... where are you going like that lassie?", "How should I know??" Suen's answer to a concerned inkeeper on her pilgrimage
- ■ "You see that lass there? Yes? Now... Look at her left pocket... See? I would bet my wages that's fucking garlean tech! Some kind of key? I dunno.." An observant patriot
- ■ "How did that stupid mi'qote got into possession of that reaper? I am not really sure how that shit did ever happen to begin with... We stumbled on her, spying on us... Then the decurion slipped on something and all hell got loose. The last thing I saw was her, sitting on the reaper, and i'm not even sure she was more in control than us... Kind of embarrassing, when you think about it." An anonymous garlean evocatus
- ■ "And the reaper? What about it?", "It kinda burnt the village for us, actually... Really, we were just there for the show... And no, I don't know how it self destructed." An anonymous garlean triarus answering to the same evocatus
- ■ "Mor Dhona is a silly place." Suen to various people.
- ■ "A lot of things seem to go above her head." Leon Greymoon.
- ■ "Suen? Ah, she's a funny one. Cute, too. Kinda reminds me of my sisters a little bit, I think that's why I try to keep an eye out for her. I'm pretty sure I just end up giving her bad ideas, though." Raih Unaze.

Stances on RP: Usually 'heavy' kind of RP, with emphasis on humane character development and growth as well as gritty or light-hearted, overall mature settings. Modest tri-dimensional characters, lasting and creative plots. I'm not okay with overpowered types of characters or unrealistic characters, or mary-sues. I am not okay with breaking the lore. I will however always try to adapt to my RP partners specific styles and needs!
Hooks and relationships: Totally open to any idea that can provide potential quality RP with my character. If you feel that my character profile can provide a hook for a story you have in mind, don't hesitate to reach me out to see what can be done! I am also definitely open for family ties, or background/business connections between characters. Suen is mostly designed as a supporting character, even if she has her own story.
RP combat and injuries: Open for most systems as long as they make sense to me. I can roll random dices or settle it through a fully organic RP exchange without any other tool, or a combination of both. I am a strong supporter of dealing with the consequences of every actions our characters do (except when true death, or other very dire things have to happen, which will need my consent).
Miscellaneous: That wiki page is pure OOC knowledge unless your character specifically knows or learned about it.
Important! If anything that my character does or says unsettles you in an OOC manner, or if suddenly you are not okay with something in my RP, please let me know right away! Communication is key! I am also very embarrassed and anxious when it comes to reach people out ingame repeatedly, so.. don't hesitate to tell me if I'm being intrusive or anything.
Player Info: EU player, GMT+1. Usually available between 19:30 and 23:30 GMT in the week, or most of the day in the week end.

Wiki Templates: Using the skill stats window from Fancy Template and my layout is inspired by Rixo and Nanagi's template for its simplicity and clarity. Thanks to the authors!
You can use this wiki page layout at will and I will be glad if people actually do, but please try to change the colour theme at least - yes, mine is not just gray...! Thanks.
