Y'lyfriel Sikah
Contents
Character
Lyfriel has been long-separated from her proper tribe, and spent much of her life in La Noscea. After losing her mother and sister in the Calamity, she began studying the Arcanum at Mealvaan's Gate, in Limsa Lominsa. She earned a suitable living for herself, and dabbled in the culinary arts, weaving, and most of all, scholarly research. After a series of misfortunes at sea, though, the Sunseeker left La Noscea and found herself in the Twelveswood. Since meeting with Rhesh'ir Zhwan, she has traveled and adventured with numerous others, eventually making her way Southward, into Thanalan. After helping her companions wade through much trial and tribulation in the desert region, she has decided to journey home to La Noscea, albeit with the intent of continuing her travels after.
Appearance
Her face carries traditional Sunseeker markings, as well as a few thin scars. She wears her hair fairly short, and keeps herself generally fit. She has finally come to look like a proper traveler, often bringing her grimoire, her bow, and a quiver full of arrows whenever she departs from a city proper. Her time previously dedicated to hobbyist studies has largely dwindled, in favor of honing what she sees as her most useful talents. That said, it’s the rare occasion that she doesn’t have some scholarly text or another along with her. In the past several moons, she has added a pair of symmetrical marks, one beneath each eye. Though temporary, she seems intent upon applying them every morning.
Behaviour
Lyfriel will most often be seen with a smile on her face, whether it is genuine or forced. She is studious, and speaks with an air of formality, but is prone to occasional teasing when in the company of those she trusts. She is quite prompt in her habits, and no matter where she is, will often rise along with the sun to either practice her archery or groom her chocobo, Noire.
Combat
Lyfriel is a dedicated student of the Arcanum, and is always seeking ways to augment her talents and capabilities. Her grimoire is with her at all times, and is nearly full of personally inked geometries and equations. She is also becoming quite proficient with a bow. None of her talents, however, have made her much of a combatant; she has seen little real fighting, and does what she can to avoid it.
Tendencies
She often jokes that she is becoming more Keeper of the Moon than Seeker of the Sun, but her changes in habit and waking bells would reflect some truth in that sentiment. She spends equal numbers of evening and daylight hours awake and has nearly settled into a routine of sleeping twice per day, to accomodate her new habits. She has also entirely dropped the "Y" tribe designation from her name, when introducing herself. She has not used it for several moons.

- ■ "I've 'eard her gettin' shouted deaf in the Bismark. Don't think the maesters care much for 'er." - Limsa Lominsa Resident
- ■ "Always see her alone, that one. Only time not, when she's gettin' the ears beat off her, sparring with Yellowjackets up the beach." - La Noscean Merchant
- ■ "I saw her climbing out of an airship, yesterday. All confidence and swagger, one of those godsdammed huge books tucked under one arm. Looked like she'd had a rough day, but was smiling for it.- Yellowjacket
- ■ "She ran past me, t'other day, red in the face, and a welt the size of a La Noscean orange on her cheek. Hope she sought a healer." - Local Fisher
- ■ "She believes that if everyone is together that we'll be alright. It's naive, but... endearing." - Rhesh'ir Zhwan
- ■ "Lyfriel is everything. She calls me 'her Moon', but in reality, she is the same for me. She is a soft, beautiful light in my life. Only, I don't have to wait until nightfall to see her shining properly~" - Rhesh'ir Zhwan
- ■ "She's a strong-spirited girl, and unlike most sunseekers, I find her pleasant to be around. But she has an air of apologeticness about her that I can't shake, and it almost bothers me, to a degree. She works far too hard to please everyone, and her kindness is a double-bladed edge. What will happen when she runs out of resources to give, I wonder? Will she break, or will something new bloom?" - Onuma Ahntifi
- ■ "Lyf is our constant, and truly the best friend I've ever had. Without her, the group would surely have drifted apart. I confide in her more than anyone because she has truly earned it." - Dawson Colwell
- ■ "Lyf has a good heart. As far as I'm concerned, she's at the center of our little tribe. She works hard--probably too hard--to make it all work, and for that I am grateful." - Dawson Colwell
- ■ "Miss Lyfriel is very, very kind. She deals with so much when all of us are together, and yet she's always smiling! Even when Rhesh'ir is being a ..Rude. A rude rude." - Rahn'a Lihzeh
- ■ "I can't say she'll cease to surprise me anytime soon; seems she's a swift study with all sorts of subjects. She's even taken to designing her own arcane geometries as of late! I endeavour to emulate her educational eagerness, then maybe one day I'll be as much of an asset to the tribe as she." - Kodaro Ba'rococo
