Appearance & Personality

Standing at between 5'5" and 5'7" (an above average height for an Auri female), Aelia could at first glance be mistaken for a teenager, but paying closer attention to her facial features one might be able to make out a few lingering signs of maturity - the occasional wrinkle, skin tight in some places around the scalp, a gray hair or two. Her skin is a tanned brown, natural from birth, and her hair a deep amber colour which is cut into a messy bob with a long fringe. Aelia's eyes are steel gray, and deep blemishes of black circles under her eyes are the result of her genetics, though without knowing otherwise could be mistaken for a sign of exhaustion.
Being an Auri woman, Aelia shows the scales and horns that are distinctive of her race, and they are a soft cream in colour, the horns curled and pointed towards her mouth. A short and sharp-looking tail protrudes from her rear, and like other Au Ra, it is capable of moving both consciously and unconsciously.
Aelia was usually, if not always, seen wearing the traditional Garlean Soldier uniform. Although her rank granted her allowance of the more elaborate and imposing suit of armour worn by other centurions, Aelia spent more time polishing than actually wearing it, preferring to keep it locked away for more ceremonious occasions.


Living up to her name, Aelia quo Flammeus has a fiery temper and a short fuse, earning her the sobriquet of 'Aelia Flameheart'. Stubborn and ruthless, she punishes any who disappoint her - and due to her high standards, this is more often than not everyone who crosses her. Very early on upon meeting her, most Garlean soldiers have learnt that her appearance is nothing to be mocked, as the Auri woman packs a punch, and even her superiors are aware of the rage she unleashes upon her subordinates. Due to this, being assigned to the same Castrum as Aelia has become something of a punishment for new soldiers, or for soldiers who have failed their duties in some way.
Loyalty is Aelia's strongest quality, and while she is renowned for dealing merciless punishment for failure, she rewards those who exceed in their duties almost as fervently. As a result of this, she knows who to rely on for certain jobs, and trusts them explicitly (until they fail and are replaced with someone else). Indeed, any who are able to impress the Auri woman tend to be firm loyalists of the Empire, and many become enthralled by Aelia's commitment to Garlemald, willing to lay down their lives if it means carrying out her orders.

Combat

Trained from a young age by the Empire, Aelia employs a mix of traditional gladiatorial arts with Garlean style. Normally seen wielding a Garlean standard issue sword and shield, there is nothing exceptional or noteworthy about her equipment, though all Garlean equipment is far superior to anything made in Eorzea.
Used to life-or-death situations, the Raen is adept at hand-to-hand combat, though it is usually very scrappy and unrefined. She is not above using dirty tricks to win fights, knowing that when your life is on the line, honour makes for thin armour.
She usually wears thin and light materials when fighting, as her style is based mainly around parrying blows and her speed, rather than relying on heavy strikes. This often gives her the edge in stamina over opponents who wear thick metal.

"No! I...I don't want to talk about the centurion! She'll hear me!"
"There is nobody more committed to the cause than Quo Flammeus."
"That one? We call her 'Flameheart', Gods be with you if you attack any Castrum with her in it, adventurer."
◢ Moderate Rumors (Moderately difficult to overhear)
"Some say she takes orders from the Emperor himself..."
"You seen those tired looking eyes and those dark circles under them? She must push herself too much."

◢ Rare Rumors (Very difficult or rarely overheard)
"Some say she took a leave of absence to look for a husband, but came back to the army two years later twice as angry! Wonder what happened in that time..."
"When she gets really angry, her tail quivers a bit and then stays still...it's how you know when to stop spouting excuses and get ready to be beaten."
"For someone on the front lines, she really seems to hate fighting, like, proper fighting."

RELATIONS

Romantic Interest Platonic Love Sexual Desire Good Standing Neutral Standing Poor Standing

Tsuria Windstep - Aelia's sister, and the person she cares about most. Though she treats her roughly at times, there is no doubt that she loves her, and will protect her until the end.


Eva cassel - A woman as stubborn and proud as Aelia herself, the Auri woman can't help but despise this midlander for her ruthlessness and cruelty. In other words, she likes her.

Okhi Lyehga - A chance meeting long after their first brought the two women closer together. Despite intense attraction on Okhi's half, Aelia is unwilling to see the woman as anything more than a friend - Eorzean passion being too different to what she expects in a relationship.

Oscare Iono - Regarding him as mostly a thick-headed brute, Aelia is curious to discover exactly what it is that makes Oscare tick; their times meeting each other at random providing her with new insights each time.

Sayuri Kanno - Though Aelia considers this Au Ra to be a bit too naive for her own good, the two seem to get along without any problems. Aelia for one appreciates the cheerful yet serious nature of the woman.

Kosetsu Kensei - A real mystery, and one Aelia has committed herself to solving. Though it seems Kosetsu wants nothing to do with Aelia, the Garlean has not yet given up on learning more about her.

Akari Kurokawa - One of the first friendly faces after Aelia lost her status, Akari has been a source of relief for the Raen - someone she is able to confide in about her worries with the empire and her true motives of being in Eorzea. She may well be the only person Aelia could call a friend.

Krattel Voss - A fighter in training, Aelia is trying her best to help this woman with her problems, albeit in unorthodox ways. Well mannered and friendly, Aelia gets along with Krattel well despite their differences. The two have since opened up more to each other, with Aelia becoming Krattel's mentor. Despite both having desires for each other, the two have agreed that they mean more than just that, and look forward to learning more about each other.

Jiao Sachaba - Member of Aelia's current free company, Jiao seems to be a mature and positive woman, who - while almost completely opposite in nature to Aelia - the Garlean seems to enjoy spending some time with to talk.
