Lynnette Dracht
WIP WIP WIP
Lynnette Nyvenia Dracht is a an Ishgardian-born midlander hyur that has been thrust of the confines of the Holy See's walls and into the outer world it so preciously had kept out for years. Whether or not they call her a heretic or an exile, the woman has been gone for over several summers. Though the Holy See's church and politics may be something she despises, there's a yearning in her heart, her soul to go back home. To step in the city-proper once more is only but a yearning dream. Yet the Gates have opened. So perhaps it may not be that far off.

Appearance & Personality
- Not typical of the standard Ishgardian, Lynnette's appearance is marked as somewhat of a mystery. Red hair and darker skin are far from the ideal fair skinned and light blonde hair that many of the Holy See seem to have. Perhaps because of her poorer nature and spending time out in the sun could attribute to the complexion - not only after she left Ishgard but before it, when the snowy lands were not common place. Her eyes sparkly light a light bluish-gray sky one finds on a clear day in the Holy See or in Limsa Lominsa.

Childhood
- Born to Alderic and Jacinthe Dracht, Lynnette Nyvenia Dracht was born into the infamous Brume within the Holy See of Ishgard, second born after the first-born daughter. While life was less than ideal in that portion of the city, her father managed to keep them somewhat comfortable on a Temple Knight's pay. That was until her two younger brothers came around. Her sister and she were sent to one of the churches in order to get a small education during a small time of peace against the Dravanians. Here, she would learn the basics of reading and some writing, though compared to someone of high birth, it was nil. There is not much that Lynnette really remembers from her early childhood besides going for the few times in her education, but nothing too large of note has happened for her to bother reminiscent about the past.
Teenage
- Boring childhood as she had, Lynnette's teenage years were something far different and far more consequential towards her future. There came a time when the family grew on harder times, as they grew older, it meant more gil going out. And it forced she and her sister to find someway of supplying money for the family. While he sister went the route of tailoring for the odd gil here and there, Lynnette chose to go into training to be a Temple Knight. Not only would she be allowed shelter and food, but the small stipend the midlander would receive would be enough for her to send home to her brothers who were not of age yet to join either the Temple Knights or the Dragoons.
- During her training, things went on as normal, practicing the sword, the shield, and the bow. While Lynnette did not excel at any of the three, she did learn them well enough to use them. This continued for two to three years. At the end of the third year, the young Ishgardian was at an age where her skills would be tested and she'd have to go through a trial to earn her rights as a Temple Knight. This was not going to be a hard task for her. Other rather, it should not have been. On the eve of her trial, it was announced that she herself and several of the recruits she had trained with would be scouting out an exterminating heretics for the Holy See. That was easy, that was something she could do. Lynnette was prideful for her country and thus, these heretics should be eliminated. Paired off into groups, she and another female recruit had gone into Coerthas Western Highlands in search of these heretics that were last spotted in the north. Did they find them? Yes. But what happened afterwards was something Lynnette never intended. Why would anyone think it would?
- Heretics were found, but there were adults and children. Not being the 'leader' of the duo, it was decided the other female, an Elezen, would take the adults and Lynnette would get the children. And that is where the trial for her came to an immediate halt. The children there were no older than ten and in retrospect, they were only years younger than her and had lives to live. She refused. One thing led to another. It resulted in a blood curdling scream from her fellow and the rush of one of her superiors. Not one that entirely liked her. Again, she had to fight, this time, bloodied. Having to run through the lands and skipping Ishgard all together was her only choice in getting out alive. Even if she would be marked a heretic.
- Life went on, she escaped to Gridana to the mill in the Northern Shroud. There, she was able to heal - no questions asked as long as she paid. Lynnette would be scared in two places regardless of the magicks to help her. She could not go back to Ishgard. Not yet, not until some of this had passed over.
- Her teenage years remained in Gridania proper, where she would continue her bow lessons along with taking a mentor to help her with the harp and flute. It was also under this man's guidance that she should also take up singing lessons, her voice and stories interesting to him. She did as such, practicing here and there everyday until she decided she was wanting to travel over the lands of Eorzea.
Present
- Currently she is working and Wayfarer's Rest as a Waitress after meeting Casmi Hawke during the 5th Umbral Moon. Since then, she has taken up residence there as well as working. She's seen as a vetern at keeping those at the bar happy and tends to have some good bar tending skills. How, she attributes it to her days when she went to taverns and those cup games. (Who would have known those would come in handy!)
- The Ishgardian woman is also pregnant with Casmi's child and is around two months along.
