Jancis Milburga, a midlander hyur, is an merchant's daughter orphaned in the Twelveswood and forced to come into her own.

Appearance

Jancis is overall quite plain in her manner of attire and appearance; though she keeps herself kept she does not follow the fashion or trends of higher classes or wear makeup. Her hands are soft and she'll typically wear gloves to protect them.

Jancis has an alto voice range and no vocal training.

Beyond what the character actually wears:

  • Around her neck is a simple chain holding a handmade ring with a lapis lazuli gem in it.
  • Has a plain handkerchief of cotton (not always the same one she constantly gives it away).
  • Typically has a small book-sized satchel containing basic medical supplies, a map, and a waterskin.
  • There is a wand or other natural-wood on her person or in her satchel.

Scars:

  • A keloid scar with a spider-like style with thin branches on her stomach and on her lower back; gotten from being impaled with a conjured stalagmite from Melfice Vainchelon in disguise.
  • Right shoulder has small jagged scars from the claws and teeth of a possessed imp attack. Received while rescuing L'aenoh Tia from a dark blood mage.
  • Three indented slots on her left side starting at her lower ribs which look like a giant fork stabbed her (which is what happened). Inflicted by Augustine Frost while under the influence of "Pink Primal" Memeli Meli.

General Demeanor

Jancis is awkward socially, ranging from blunt questions to over elaborate sentences as if talking in a storybook. She calls nearly everyone by some kind of title and will avoid saying the name of people she does not care about.

Having a kind heart, Jancis is very patient and forgiving with others. She's happiest when she is feeling useful and is a good follower. Has a soft spot for children and young animals, but in general she's very 'hands on' touching people on their arms or shoulders and taking their hands to make connection.

Fearless and willing to speak up to bring about understanding and clarification on matters she finds to be wrong, particularly if it is hurting someone. Defensive of friends and allies, or those she deems in duress, she will stand up in protection and literally block words or physical attempts of harm.

Combat - Views/Behavior

Mark Crilley Manga Shading.jpg
  • Skills
  • While not very smart in battle, Jancis does not fear it. She will go in and try to support everyone she's an ally with regardless of her own safety.
  • As a conjurer, Jancis is sensitive to the elements and through training has become more sensitive to the aether and magicks around people she's close to, giving her an edge on healing serious conditions at crucial times.
  • She's light of foot and quick to find a place she thinks will not hinder her allies.
  • She is trained in poisons and venoms, taking them herself in small doses to build up an immunity. She will use it as a rudimentary attack by throwing and misting as a distraction.
  • Trained with basics of a shield and staff. Usually does not have both at once and will two-hand whichever she has. Carries a wand and has natural items on her person at all times to form conjuration.
  • Weaknesses
  • Jancis is typically too preoccupied watching her allies she fails to watch out for herself and would be an easy target.
  • Her strength and dexterity in a fight is not too keen and she would easily fall in one-on-one battle.
  • Her ability to "read" aether is a novice level, so things that are unnatural or done by an arcanist she cannot undo by the same means. She can do little more than sense the presence of aether.
  • Being a conjurer, she relies on her voice to call out to the elements to assist her. Anything that would hinder that or interrupt her would leave her to rely on physical abilities alone.

Tendencies

  • Jancis grew up mostly on her own out in the wild of the Shroud. Her habits and words do not follow current culture 100%; she will use odd terms and not understand idioms.
  • Wearing pants her entire childhood, she compensates for typical 'style' by wearing leggings.
  • Apologizes constantly.
  • Tends to be hands-on with people, touching their arm or shoulder, and does not understand the concept of personal space.
Likes
  • Children and young animals.
  • Feeling useful & following others.
  • Natural trinkets:flowers, sea shells, rocks, etc.
  • Being called by a nickname.
  • Fruit, by itself or in other things like drinks.
Dislikes
  • Mistrust and dishonesty.
  • The unnatural/voidsent.
  • Loud noises.
  • Corrupted people, power grabbing, misconduct.
  • Being called "Child" or childish.
Hobbies/Talents
  • Reading/Writing
  • Healing Arts
  • Poisons,Venoms, and basic Herbal uses
  • Basic Cooking
  • Conjuring

Relationships

Jancis has no known family.

PC Friends

  ( = Romantic Interest, = Old Friend/Deceased, = Platonic Care )

 Coatleque Crofte: A strong-willed knight, Jancis met her through guild masters to tutor and teach in the basics of conjuration. Becoming trusted friends, the two travel together often and share studies. Cici is like family to Jancis and is her first source of comfort and will typically try to follow her around despite the city politics and protocol. Though Jancis fails to understand much of the subtle work Cici does, she still will speak up about the shadow sides of it. Is usually left in the dark on her "sister's" real activities, but trusts the intention and meaning behind the secrets. To others Jancis will refer to her as "Lady Crofte" but personally will call her "CiCi".
 Iron Sea: A stalwart protector and worrisome fighter, Jancis had seen the large man in passing at the Grindstone accompanying Lady Edda. They met more officially at Master Vann's fist fight. Finding him later on in the rain in Limsa, the two became closer to share woes with one another. Jancis continues to remind the man of his worth and to leave his unchosen past "Agate" behind. Jancis cares deeply for the man for his heart-felt wisdom and clarity and will back him up regardless of his reasoning. Were roommates at the Still Shore. "Sword" "Sir Iron"
 L'aenoh Tia:  Trained and rustic swordsman with few wits about him beyond his heart, Jancis truly met the man after Dhemgeim impaled Captain Renaud, particularly for glaring at Alveo. Continues to do the best for this "hunter" as far as dealing with his wounds and problems from his past. Jancis now cooks a particular skillet bread specifically avoiding baking for his sake. Also is semi-protective of the man and will put up with most anything for his sake. Lost his left eye. Half of his right ear is missing. Mark on his back. Other names "Ganzjaega", "Abarsoemr", referred to as "Sir L'aenoh"
 Oscare Iono: A garish huntsman, Jancis met Oscare at the Pumpkin Cafe while he was working as a bouncer along side Cici. Jancis was really taken from his care and concern over Cici's exhaustion, offering to walk them back to the city and giving up all his pay for a room at the inn. Jancis continues to blunder in their friendship by dishonoring the man with her attempts to repay him. She continues to watch and visit the man, particularly after a strange display of mannerisms from him even if he ends up running off. Has violet eyes and multiple scars around them. Has a rosewood crane he carved. She's taken to calling him "Oscare", less he get upset, but will call him "Sir Oscare" or "Sir Iono" if referring to him.
 Otto Vann: An eccentric artist from Ul'dah, Jancis met the man while he was dressing one of her company members. By random chance the man continues to come to her for her opinion and now some of her work in dealing with concoctions. More concerned with the man's well-being, Jancis continues to learn and tolerate his extravagant lifestyle to get a glimpse of understanding this man's way of thinking. Very willing to help the man and is still amazed by the amount of detail the man can pay attention to; she cares deeply for the troubles that no one else seems privy to or could even fathom. "Otto" "Master Vann."
 Staelufre Lysmerl: The wild lady and namesake of the Coral Sea's home. Jancis met the huntress through L'aenoh as the woman was skittish about being under a roof. Over time Jancis has grown grateful and closer to the Staelufre after the ordeals her lover and the advice they have given one another. Does not agree with her ways of handling problems, particular for her violent nature. Has a wooden fawn that was carved for her. Given a name. "Lady Staelufre"
 Z'enath Vashyr: A Free Paladin of Ul'dah and accomplished swordsman, Jancis fails to remember their first encounter in Gridania shortly after the Calamity. Re-united, the man continues to try and repay her for that first meeting. Finding him cheerful and inspiring, the two have become good friends after his continued assistance and support. Owns a home that his caretaker/father left to him; helps make it his own place by bringing things and repairing items. Has a smile that always catches her off-guard. Sneaks her flowers every time they meet. Jancis will ask for his help and writes him often; she struggles with the amount of attention and reverence he does on her behalf. Refers to his eyes as garnets. "Z'enath" "Sir Vashyr" "Dearest"

Other Acquaintances & Old Friends

 Aaron Glacier - Swordsman. Jancis met at the Grindstone particular when the man tried to refuse aid to his wounds. The two continue to meet up at random times and she tries to talk to the otherwise quiet and conflicted man. Hugged her after returning his sword in a surprise display. "Champion Glacier" "Sir Glacier"
 A'rho Tia - A humorous and giving aether user and Something of an artist to Jancis. Met via Rinilda and spoke in-length at the Grindstone one night about healing and even assisted in smaller wounds. Met again and spent a good deal of time together during All Saint's Wake where the man continued to encourage and compliment the conjurer's costume. Jancis is easily enchanted and smiling at the man for his witty humor and curious ways he shows care to those around him, particularly his twin brother and L'aenoh. "Master A'rho".
 Alveo Soulseeker:  Something of a good-hearted misfit, Jancis met Alveo while working as a support in the same Free Company and ended up having feelings for the sailor. Once recovered from his life-long ordeal, they confessed their feelings for one another and were to be wed. Upon asking, she refers to memories of him as "very warm". After doing her best to follow his endeavors, she realized his love for adventure is what truly made him happy. Though MIA in the eyes of Maelstrom and dead in others, Jancis believes he is somewhere better and living the life he wants. Any time the man is mentioned nowadays, she looks thoughtful and wistful.
 Bartolomeo Filangieri: A well respected knight, Jancis met Sir Filangieri her first night with the Harbingers. He left quite an impression on her from his approach and kindness, even taking a particular interest in one of her childish toys. After a particularly crucial fight Jancis has dropped her overly-polite demeanor with the knight which can easily be taken the wrong way. She also reacts acutely to his mannerisms, be them good or bad. She will follow his direction without question. Jancis will refer to him as "Sir Filangieri" strictly. Whereabouts unknown.
 Chuchukepa Hohokepa - Thaumaturge of the Coral Sea with a nervous demeanor. Assisted in saving Sir L'aenoh. Connected with the Ossuary. Fights with Lady Meli constantly about Jajara. Jancis regards the man as one of the most bravest people she knows for his ability to answer calls for help regardless of his own welfare and despite his own nervousness. Has a very important hat. "Master Chuchukepa".
 Franz Renatus - Fighter with powerful arcane abilities. Jancis met in Ul'dah looking for a pet rat for some of the homeless children of Ul'dah, dubbing him the "Hero of Ul'dah". Strange aetheric aura about him. Spoke of his wife and family. Looks sad usually. Revealed to Jancis part of his past including his Garlean blood, third eye, and more about a man he is 'infused' with who saved his morality. She has accepted his change and is interested in helping unlock his memories. "Master Franz" "The Hero of Ul'dah"
 Kale Aideron: Knight of Ul'dah's Sindicate. Met the man at the Grindstone in Sir Filangieri's company, where the two knights found common ground. Continues to run into the man time-to-time and assist him with small tasks. Has a friendly chocobo named Eskandar. Man has a bad impression of miqo'tes and forces Jancis to stand up for Sir Vashyr. Very dedicated to Thanalan and Ul'dah. "Sir Aideron" "Kale"
 Leanne Delphium - Traveling Bard and Archer. Competitor at the Grindstone. Has a hat. Sings lovely songs about love and adventure. "Put on my shoes, put on my hat. Adventurer am I." Jancis met while healing at the Grindstone, impressed by her ability to deal with pain while Jancis tended to others with more serious wounds. The lady appears now and again to sing at pilgrimages and around Jancis, always sharing more about herself. A comforting presence. "Champion Leanne" "Lady Leanne"
 Memeli Meli:  One of the Coral Sea, Memeli has a crazy reputation for being a caring bold company kin and a diabolical arcanist of unquestionable power. Jancis usually tolerates the lady's antics and is used as a piece of furniture by her. In case the lalafel tries to either slap or lie to Jancis, she has gotten into the habit of grabbing Meli's hair. "Lady Meli"
 Obsidian Hornet: An exotic sellsword, Jancis met the Hornet during a beach party briefly then again as part of the Coral Sea. After inquires from her on Jancis' safety and her relationship with Alveo, Jancis trusts and feels protected around the ebony lady. "Lady Hornet" to others, or "Hornet" to her. She has a golden linkpearl in case of trouble. Believed dead.
 Tasa Rhyzul: The hardened warrior with a subtle softer side, Jancis met Tasa while preparing with the company to save their leader. Despite Tasa's brash demeanor, she is a wise woman with a lot of heart and patience for the less experienced and has earned quite a bit of Jancis' respect. She is technically the warrior's indentured servant as she pays back a debt and is bidden to comply with any requests Tasa makes, though the lady does not enforce it. She will always refer to her as "Lady Tasa." Believed dead.
 Tausenadel Geispyrsyn: Sailor in Coral Sea with a jovial soul and a knack for cooking, Jancis met him during his grand return from overhearing his story of living through the temptations from Garuda herself. Living together in the Coral house, Jancis has been fed and even cared for after a slavery ruse gone wrong. Great storyteller and writes his own romance books. Jancis revers the man for his manly expression of compassion and his ways of dealing with bad situations under pressure. One of the leaders Jancis will take seriously. "Tausen"
 Val Nunh: A uncooth fighter, Jancis met Val while she was being evaluated to study under the Harbingers. Catching her attention with the nickname "Milly", Jancis has built up a respect for the miqo'te for his realistic and kind-hearted views. She tries to keep in touch with the man and support his feelings of usefulness and wanted. Sends him random items with cards, particular naming the item. To others she will refer to him as "Lord Saint" but in his presence tries very hard to say "Val".
 Xydane Vale: Lone swordsman with knightly intentions, Jancis met the man when he came out of nowhere into the Coral Sea's house holding a letter she had written to Cici. Seeing his condition and overwhelmed by the selfless act, Jancis tries to follow the swordsman's tracks and whereabouts to repay him for his kindness with her own. "Sir Xydane", "Xydane"

Background

QIvPuyu.jpg

Jancis Milburga was born as Lleuedwyn Fishcot, daughter of a middle-class merchant family. The Fishcots were known for their ability to export fish and were a successful travelling merchants. Misfortune came upon them on a trade route in the northern part of the Twelveswood; their caravan was overrun by scouting soldiers looking for monks from Ala Mhigo.

The Rest of the family murdered in the heretic hunt, the toddler Lleuedwyn was left to die in the woods. The soldiers had not been far off, refugees from Ala Mhigo as supporters of the monks escaped before persecution had been near the caravan. Coming to salvage what was left, they found Lleuedwyn and kept her as an asset to survive. Hiding out in the dawn of war, they found a secluded cavern deep in the Shroud protected by the Elements and the Woodswrath because they were caring for a child of the woods.

The highlanders were known as "Guardian" and "Shaman Milburga". Lleuedwyn was referred to strictly as "Child" and taught basics of survival, given books, and even taken into close villages with a mask and large clothing. She was mostly secluded from interacting with others and learned most of what she knew in the world from books or overhearing her two "protectors". As she grew into adolescence Shaman Milburga began to teach the child how to feel and understand the elements; partly to continue their protected place in the woods but also as a means for the girl to take care of herself later on in life.

From one of the many books Jancis picked out her own name and became more restless with the lack of interaction that she had so often read about. Over time she became more aware of her situation, the fate of her parents, and a limited recollection that she was an orphan. She became more adventurous and gathered items from her 'secret outings'. Caught on several outings, Guardian decided their time was up in the seclusion and the war had left more refugees around Gridania.

Giving her some supplies, Jancis was left out on the road with instructions to find the city and appeal to the generosity of the Conjurer's Guild. For about five years she worked for room and board while studying the art of conjuring and is now at the point to explore the world and build her future.
