History

Personality

---

Never judge a book by its cover. You never know if a blade is hidden within the folds..

On the surface, Menelwen appears to be a strong, caring, independent woman who will go to great lengths to aid another however she can. It's not rare for her to slip a piece of gil underneath a warm loaf of bread as she serves tables at the different taverns she works at -- it coming straight out of her own pocket, of course. It's earned the nickname 'Gil Bread', and it is definitely not on the menu. She knows when someone is trying to trick her into getting free coin, and though she will serve them, she keeps her coin to herself.

Within the pages however...Menelwen is scared. Her calm, pleasant facade flickers from time to time as she works. Her heterochromia eyes glaze over as her gaze snaps across the room, jumping from the doorway and windows to the different tables. The break in her routine is quickly masked, however to the sharp eye of those who know her, it would be obvious that she did not feel as safe as she acted.

Beliefs & Religion

---

Menelwen's father went to great lengths to teach his little girl about the twelve gods. He would promise her that they would look out for her, keeping her safe if, for some reason, he was not around. She used to believe his words, for whenever something would happen, he would be at her side within a few heartbeats. However, when the strong Elezen tragically passed away, Menelwen quickly found her faith in the Twelve shaken. Why would they let someone who praised them so, who believed in them, fall as he did? With every passing event, no matter how large or small, she began to question how much influence the gods, if they did exist, actually held. How powerful were they, if they existed at all?

Logic and reason snuck its way into her mind as Menelwen grew into a young woman. She questions how strong her faith is to this day, though in the end, she always results to relying on her own strength to prevail.

Standard Equipment

---

• A dagger strapped to her inner thigh.

Rumors

Common Baderon Tenfingers, taverner of the Drowning Wench: "What, blondie there? Aye, she's been 'ere for a couple of months. Works as fast as a chocobo, she does. Eh? What's 'er name? Go and bloody ask 'er, scrag!" S'dhodjbi, waitress of the Drowning Wench: "She works here a lot. She's really nice! Sometimes she even shares her tips if I ask really nicely!" *Giggles*

Moderate Drunk Patron: "He...hehehe...aye, 'ol knife ears 'er could serve me ANY day!"

Rare Ship Captain: "I swear I've seen 'er before....wasn't she with a taller elf back at the Jewel?"

Relationships

---

Friends Mihro Tethra - Menelwen has had a few interactions with the Seeker of the Sun, as he was the quartermaster for Khy'zen Vashai's ship. The man seems pleasant enough, even if he does keep stealing her flour sacks to make beds. Hachi Ten'ahn - Spunky, hyper, and warm hearted; the Miqo'tes carefree attitude often brings a smile to Menelwen's face...until it brings trouble. The smaller woman means well though, and Menel is happy to call her a friend. Grey Everheart - Though as stubborn as a Tarbh Uisge, the Hyur has proven himself to be loyal to whatever cause he pushes himself towards. The two have shared a drink here and there, though that is normally due to Menelwen tending to some sort of bruise or cut the man earned from a scuffle just previous. Khy'zen Vashai - Cocky and prideful, the sea-hating Captain has shown several colors; some ill, and some good. He often comes to her for advice, which she is both willingly and happy to give. Vamiri Lamiri - A Lalafell that enjoys referring to himself as "The Man", he has proven to be troublesome at times....okay, most of the time. Menelwen still isn't sure if he means ill, or if he is just different from the other Lalafell's that she had met on her travels. In any case, the small man is lucky to be alive after destroying her kitchen so many times. Nivaar Swann - The two met when the gladiator happened upon her small bar, the Bastard's Honor, in La Noscea. The man is a pleasure to talk to, and whenever he comes to visit she always has a plate of steamed carrots waiting for him. Maximus - Menelwen's Chocobo. Although the growing hatchling gets himself into trouble more often than naught, he is her baby, and she loves him with all of her heart. Bananas - A small monkey that caused havoc briefly on Khy'zen's ship. Menelwen has, temporarily, adopted the animal. He and Maximus seem to get along...some of the time.

Family Oriabelle [Or-re-a-bell] Veara - Menelwen's Mother. [Deceased] Rohisse [Row-highs] Veara - Menelwen's Father. [Deceased] Calthius [Cal-thee-us] Veara - Menelwen's Brother. [Alive]
