Appearance

Avaline Starsong is a lithe girl with a feminine build, but when her muscles are exposed, you can tell she's built for archery. She has a queenly jawline, stunning Keeper's eyes and pale skin that nearly resembles the moon itself. Though, unlike most Keepers, her skin shows a golden undertone that resonates from her half seeker heritage. On her face, she bares the striped markings of the moon. On her left cheek she wears a scar that resulted from her oh so mischievous nature leading her into the weapon hold of her past tribe. Her eyes are a deep burgundy, or were... Her right eye has become a dead, cloudy light blue over time due to a horrible accident in her past. And her hair is a light golden blonde mane, soft and silky in texture, passed down to her by her Seeker father.

History

Avaline was one of the two children mothered by Mihra Eshal, a woman stolen from her home tribe amongst Keepers into a forming splenter Seeker tribe known as Manticore. As a very young kit, Avaline lived along side her older brother, Lyle, and her mother. Within the spliced tribe, there was much tension amongst some of the original stolen women. They were not mistreated in more than forcing their stay, but for some, that was too much in itself. Mihra had made up her mind to escape. With her young daughter in her arms, she made a break for it. Though, Lyle, for being so close to the Nunh, was left behind to not risk the evidence of her plot. Upon escape, she changed her daughter's name from the Seeker's tribal to a name that would allow her to live safely amongst the Gridanian's. This way, risk of recapture was lowered. On that night, Me'avahl Kihl became Avaline Starsong. A name that would bring her daughter success amongst the heavens where the moon resided. As an young adult, Ava began to branch out on her own and left her mother's side. She now searches Eorzea for her long lost brother and the beauty of the land her mother spoke of so often.

Personality

Ava tends to be very friendly and heavenly sweet, but has as time has passed, she's learned to keep her suspicions after getting some worldly experience within Ul'Dah. She can go from prideful huntress to playful kitten and then to quiet observer in a matter of seconds. If one word could describe her, it would be 'curiosity'. Though with curiosity comes a cautious watch,and it's likely she'd take a swing at anyone who catches her off guard as she'd investigating those tempting curiosities! In Ava's eye, the world is her playground. She finds entertainment in her own mischievous tendencies. Nosing around where she is more than likely not meant to go and small playful testing with others would be something to expect when dealing with this miqo'te. She has much to learn when it comes to dealing with anything of 'bedroom' nature, and she is very inexperienced due to her mother's watchful eyes. But boy, can that girl play up those bright keeper eye's to reel in what she wants to play with! While not that particularly 'girly', she loves to indulge in her feminine side, fixing flowers in her hair, adorning with jewelry, and experimenting with minor cosmetics like tinted lip balms and subtle perfumed scents.

Affiliations and Known Associates

Me'Kihl Nunh - (Father)(Non-player)

Ava has never really known her father. She was too young to remember him before leaving her tribe.

Mihra Eshal - (Mother)(Non-player)

Ava grew up along side her mother and was quite close to her. She raised Ava alone within Gridania to keep her from being so easily stolen away as she, herself, once was. Mihra was a woman of strength and heart that would never give up in a fight. She has instilled the same drive in her daughter.

Lyle Daray - (Brother)

Though Ava and him have already met again, they have not yet recognized each other. As far as they both know, the other is a stubborn miqo'te that just doesn't listen, but beyond that, there seems to be mutual care.

Ta'Kheo Nunh

Avaline met Ta'Kheo within the Quicksand. Over time, he has grown the closest to her in friendship and romance. As the one she trusts, it was him that she went to when she ran into financial trouble, causing the loss of stay at the inn. Even though her income has returned to a consistent enough flow, she opted to stay with him as her room mate.

Areas of Expertise

• Martial: Bard (Archery and Harpist)
• Crafting: Culinary skills were learned though her mother, but he expertise is limited to the meals she grew up with.
• Occupation: Avaline is a freelance huntress. Of course, this has its downsides when the industry isn't buying. Usually she gets by just fine with using her skills to bring in meat to local butchers and skins to leather shops.

Strengths

• Archery. Her aim is as sharp as a needle's point.
• Her flirtatious innocence gives her sway with most she deals with. It's genuine, but don't doubt she knows how to use it to her own advantage when the going get's tough.
• Though she is physically weak, her canines and pure wit are both sharp as can be. So beware!

Weaknesses

• Her right eye has become completely dead over a period of time due to a tragic event when she was very young. Her memory blocks most of the accident, but she can, however, recall the location. If you're to get her talking about it most of what she babbles off about it is a fantasy she's created herself. Needless to say, approaching from the right gives you the advantage over her..Less she hears you coming!
• Thunderstorms. This relates back to the event she can not fully recall. The mystery all occurred during the midst of a loud thunderstorm. Ever since she was a kitten, the noise brings back feelings of terror.
• Her small size has her at the disadvantage of dealing hands on combat. Up close, her strength could easily be outmatched.

Other Notes

Equipment

Her style varies day to day, but if in armor, she is bound to have her bow and arrows.
