When she used to be at sea, Ariuni would often be assigned the night watch and as such spent hours on the forecastle gazing at the stars to pass the time, reciting known constellations and honing her skills at guiding by the way of stars. Even now she often spends evenings somewhere of the reach of the lights from the city to gaze up at the stars.</div> |

Ariuni's style is heavily influenced by Thavnairian fashions and as such prefers to wear clothes that feel comfortable to wear, yet show a good amount of skin, both for practicality and to show of her body. She is a savvy merchant and is not above using a little tease to get that purchase. Her outfits are often accented with expensive gold jewellery that hints at her steadily growing wealth.</div> |

Given how Ariuni has had multiple aliases over the course of her life and has not used her real name in over 10 years, she much prefers to be called by a nickname rather than a full name. Even her current alias is just that — an alias. </div> |

As with many others who hail from Othard, the Au Ra distrusts the horsebirds — otherwise known as chocobos. Ariuni much prefers the use of horses as she as years of experience handling them unlike Chocobos. As such, she will go out of her way to avoid having to use them, despite being well aware they are the cheaper and prime means of transportation in Eorzea.</div> |

Ariuni has a distrust towards other Doman Raens due to the status of her family. She does not want the possibility of being recognized — however unlikely, and despite of how many years it has been. While she has not used her birth-name since the day she left her old life behind, the chance of being recognized is still present and as such she minimizes the interactions she has with them.</div> |

Having experience quite enough of this during her childhood from members of her own family, Ariuni cannot stand for it — be it towards herself or towards others. It is one of the few instances of where she might intervene on the behalf of a stranger.</div> |

In the years of being free from her previous fate of an arranged marriage Ariuni has grown a distaste for the whole idea of marriage and long-term relationships. While she might not be opposed to the matter in a literal sense, she will go above and beyond to avoid being tied down to someone in a relationship.</div> |

If there is one subject guaranteed to make Ariuni uncomfortable, it is the matter of her past. There is no one alive with whom the Au Ra has shared it with — and it is her intent to keep it that way.</div> |

After a life a childhood of having Ariuni's entire future planned out for her and the hours of her days scheduled ahead for weeks at a time, being able to retain the freedom she currently has is perhaps the most important thing to her. It is the underlying goal behind many, if not most, of her decisions and choices that she makes.</div> |

On the surface it seems that achieving it is the only thing that matters to the Au Ra. But behind it all is the knowledge that money makes other people hesitate to touch her, it gives a layer of security and protection. It gives a certain power — a power she intends to use to make sure that nothing that comes her way will be able to make a mess of the life she has built for herself.</div> |

Through years of being at sea, Ariuni has learned to handle the more extreme weathers one would find at sea; the blistering heat of a windless day, the raging storms of the sea, a heavy rainfall or strong trade winds. The Au Ra also carries the knowledge on how to protect herself against the dust storms of the deserts.</div> |

One might not think so at a first glance, but Ariuni has been taught in the ways of proper conduct, correct manners and the activities befitting a proper noble's daughter. She has discarded most of these teachings in her daily life, but she has not forgotten them. On occasion one might see the subtle hints of them in the way she carries herself and small mannerisms, but perhaps most telling of all is the elegant style of her handwriting that betray the quality of her upbringing.</div> | ||
