Nature & Demeanor

Nature & Demeanor

Demeanor: ~Bon Vivant~ Live for today, because tomorrow may never happen. Star lives and breathes in the 'Now' of life choosing to spend little time in self-reflection, regretting the past or even planning for the future. Life is a party meant to be enjoyed and there is no sense in being down in the dumps when you could be dancing! Light-hearted and carefree she often comes off as a 'ditz' or free spirit that cannot be tied down.

"HELLO!" with an enthusiastic wave to a startled stranger not accustom to being accosted by an energetic Miqo'te girl. She's supremely friendly with no qualms at all going right up to a stranger and introducing herself. In Star's own words she is... "I am the Star that fell from the skies to grace the lands of Eorzea! I am the greatest fighter Ul'dah has ever known and the prettiest girl you have ever seen! I am as swift as lightning and as graceful as a coeurl no one can surpass the awesome that is me!"

Most find Star either amusing or obnoxious yet she thrives in any reaction as long as she gets one. She will often come off as a ditzy, 'innocent' Miqo'te girl who is most agreeable with others. As long as people seem to genuinely like her she is a variable people-pleaser doing whatever it takes to make others happy. This attitude makes it very easy for her to be taken advantage of but most treat her like a 'special child' humoring her but giving her very little credit as being anything other than an adorable nut.

Nature: ~Praise-Seeker~ Deep down Star craves the approval of others and will at times come right out and say it. "Do you like me?" a weighted question that offers only the smallest crack to the fragile ego of an otherwise seemingly outrageous and outgoing young woman. Her self-esteem is built up on a house of cards that can easily be knocked over with the right kind of words. Her demeanor recovers quickly however for as long as her mask remains intact.

~Secret-Nature: Manipulator~ There is a very little-seen side of Star that she often does not show to others but people fascinate her. It is questionable whether she lives her life with her heart on her sleeve or instead is the most cunning narcissist capable of convincing the world, and herself, that she is capable of real passion. The creation of her outward persona of Star was part of this need to create an illusion of little suspicion. How much is real and how much is fiction depends entirely on the circumstances. While Star can be manipulative and cunning her motives are generally not for ill-gains but rather in support of her endeavors to be liked.

Concept: People handle loss and trauma in very different ways and Sashana has chosen to cope with the terrible, dark truths of her history by tucking them away behind a mask that is far easier to get along with on the surface. The double-edged sword of the persona Star however is that her deepest desire to be included and accepted is impossible while she lives a life not true to herself.

Habits: With more triggers than a radio control tower Star is a maze of volatile states of being. She often responds to emotional issues with vocal outbursts that can range from threats of violence to running away to hide. Her anger is always always rooted in sorrow and when she is sad she tends to try and find a small place to hide. Those who come to know her may learn of her hiding spots.

Due to a fear of being trapped Star very rarely sleeps indoors unless she is with someone. If left alone she'll usually end up sleeping outside even if it's only to go to the roof.

Notable Features

Notable Features

Common Appearance: A tall and curvaceous woman that balances well between a gentle softness over a toned physique it is obvious she is physically active but her muscles are not overdeveloped attributing to the fact that she favors speed over strength. Her natural hair color is a pale blue yet she styles it with pink highlights to make herself appear more youthful and innocent. Her beautiful round face smiles often with a bounce in her step as though she is incapable of standing still for long periods of time. She has no scars, no visible blemishes and no markings except for the natural pale birthmarks striped across her cheeks. For someone who boasts at being an excellent fighter she has no real outward signs aside from her toned physique that she's ever suffered. Her skin tone is a bit tanned as though for a Keeper, she spent way too much time in the sun.

Scars & Markings: An unfinished tattoo on her left arm and along her side she usually covers up or wears makeup to hide. She also has a few bite-mark scars on her collar. The woman is hairless from the neck down, unable to grow hair as though someone had altered her to prevent it. Hidden piercings, one blue and one green

Voice: A youthful, high-pitched and bubbling voice that often speaks in slurred slang. She can speak in a more formal manner but it requires effort.

Clothing: She enjoys showing off her body prone to wearing belly shirts and tight pants. To find her in a skirt is rare and usually only reserved for dates. She can clean up very well when she wants to. She wears a perfume of lavender and sandalwood bought for her by her brother. He claims it smells like their mother.

Prejudices

Prejudices

• Wildwood Males: It has been Star's experience that most Wildwood are self-important bigots that have only done her and others like her great harm. She tends to tease them relentlessly with very few exceptions to the rule. A few Duskwights have befriended her but they are usually an exception not being seen by Star as one of 'those' people. She will never come right out and say it but due to Dolet, her foster father, Wildwood Males make her anxious and she doesn't care to be alone with them. If they are also a Scholar she will likely avoid them altogether.
• Roegadyn Males: Her dislike of Roegadyns stems from a fear associating them with a very traumatic experience in the recent past. She can be neutral with them but she'll likely never be interested in more than that.
• Aetherial Healers / Scholars: Those who use the aether to heal or are more the scholar type make her anxious when she observes it. In the middle of combat she's thinking of other things but in a more clinical setting it unsettles her.
• Garleans: Considers them to be misguided, bull-headed and the pawns of a greater wickedness. Former Garleans don't phase her.
• Ascians / Paragons: Star has a very keen, distinct fear of the Ascians. She believes they are the true evil behind everything.
• Lalafel Star adores most Lalafel both for the fact that she finds them absolutely adorable but also because she sympathizes with the fact that they are rarely taken seriously and are often underestimated.
• Lovers Star has no true prejudice against any particular race when it comes to attraction as long as the personalities match but once she takes someone as a lover they will always hold some small weight with the Keeper.

Abilities

Abilities

Strengths

Strengths

1. Observant - A keen sense of hearing and a livelihood that depends on it Star is usually very perceptive of her surroundings even when she pretends not to be.
2. Swift - While not all of Star's boasts are completely true she is faster than your average Miqo'te. All those years running from authorities has its advantages!
3. Intuitive - Border-lining clairvoyance at times with the uncanny way Star can often deduce outcomes based on what she has observed. She can be very tactical when she puts her mind to it.
4. Creative - Star has a very active imagination and mixed with a bon viant personality she often tries to be the life of the party and make others laugh. She enjoys entertaining others.
5. Acting - Star is very accomplished at pretending to be something she is not right down to the point that she can even carefully fake 'flaws' in her demeanor to illicit a reaction. This can be a double-edged sword however as sometimes Star lives a lie so long she forgets it is one.
6. Resilient - You can knock her down but she'll only get back up. Emotionally and physically Star has a way of dealing with things.
7. High Pain Tolerance - Due to her past Star has a disturbing tolerance for pain. It is not that she is incapable of feeling it more that she has the capacity to compartmentalize her physical state and work through situations others may find crippling.
8. Helpful - Star's desire to be liked makes her very eager to help others. If you ask her for help she's likely to do everything she can to assist.

Weaknesses

Weaknesses

1. Impulsive - Star has a tendency to make quick decisions based on current circumstances regardless of what the long-term may be.
2. Emotional - From an emotional standpoint Star wears her heart on her sleeve and can be prone to emotional breaks and can be manipulated if people know her weakness
3. Boastful - While she doesn't always really believe everything she boasts she is prone to make over-the-top statements about her abilities and those of others. It is a mix between pumping up her own self esteem as well as embracing a mantra that most people react to (for good or bad).
4. Lightweight - Star is not very big physically and no matter how hard she trains she will never be as strong as someone larger than herself. She must rely on cunning, speed and endurance to overcome stronger fighters.
5. Claustrophobia - Star does not do well in small, enclosed, confined spaces particularly when coupled with cold temperatures. This manifests the strongest inside small caves or underground. The touch of someone she trusts can help to quell it.
6. Low Self Esteem - Star does not really believe half of what she says. She has a very low opinion of herself which leads to her desperation to be liked. Most of her personality traits stem from this earnest need to be loved.

Adokenai Kodomo ( ♥ ● ) - The Orphan

Adokenai Kodomo - Star's very first day in Ul'dah she was stood up for a date. Distraught she ran all over searching for him when she came upon Ado in the Quicksand. She explained her plight to the young boy who proceeded to try and help. He played the perfect little matchmaker hooking her up with Rhashi Zahra. She mistook Adokenai at first for a very quiet, odd Lalafell and thought he was a genius. Still convinced the young man is vastly undervalued and is very intelligent she has started to make secret plans involving Ado in her antics.

History

History

OOC: If you take knowledge of Star's past from this without her telling you IC I will blacklist you. She gets very frantic and runs away when anyone comes anywhere close to homing in on her history. Unless you tie her up and make her talk, or she really trusts you, you're likely to never really know.

Childhood: No one knows if Star was abandoned by her biological parents on purpose or if it was an unfortunate displacement from her home being destroyed. She was found alone on an island in the Sea of Ash and transported to shore. The sailors knew very little for how to take care of a young Miqo'te child and she was quickly unloaded at the nearest Port. She was too young to really remember the details of her early days but the vague memory of the coast and the kind sailors still resonates in her today.

Before the Calamity: Bounced around, unwanted, from one place to the next as a young child she eventually came into the care of Honoroit Dolet, an Elezen scholar formerly of Ala'Mhigo that eventually came into Garlean control. He considered himself a very educated and enlightened man with a profound thirst for knowledge living in a large tower where he could observe the stars and scientifically predict the future. His love for science bordered on obscene obsession and the man grew cruel and wicked over time. There were some rumors that he may even be Ascian though no one ever knew for certain. He took in unwanted Miqo'te children for his experiments, Star among them. Much of Star's adolescence was spent being tortured only to have the scholar heal her back to perfect health again. This has led Star to have an incredible tolerance to pain and a complete disregard for fear of death.

After the Calamity: Her foster-father, Honoroit Dolet worked for the Garlean Empire and when Bahamut brought down their flagship they were forced to retreat and regroup. A lot of blame was shifted toward her Foster-Father and in the chaos of rebuilding the man became even more cruel. He stopped healing some of her adopted brothers and sisters and their bodies were often left to rot in the halls. The man had truly gone mad. Star tried to convince some of the others to escape but many were too far gone, too broken to have a hope left for them in this world. Star did the unthinkable, she made her escape from that Tower of Horror and stowed away on an Air Ship bound for Gyn Abania where she wandered south along the Velodyna River until she came upon a small town. She ran into a group of refugees making their way south to Thanalan. It was a long trip but eventually she did make it to Ul'dah with plenty of time on the way to decide once and for all that she would never be a victim again. She would grow to be strong enough that she could protect herself or find others to do it for her.

Realm Reborn She came to live off the streets of Ul'dah returning to her roots as a street-wise young woman. She would perform for strangers in exchange for gil as well as watch and learn the Puglist fighting technique of Ul'dah. A dirty street-fighter she would use cunning and deception to defeat larger opponents. Her love of humor and attention eventually led her to the Comedy night of the Kindred Free Company and the attention of a young man named Syleion soon had her smitten. She signed on with them however as fate would have it she found it difficult to maintain long-standing friendships. Unable to hand the teasing of her colleagues she was prone to verbal outbursts and periods of unpopularity.

Her relationship with Syleion bloomed yet the demons of her past would rear up and create a rift between the two that she never recovered from. After leaving for an extended period of time Star came to know Ronin. At first they were merely friends but a secret affair sparked an adventure leaving the two bonded. While not always the healthiest of relationships the trials that the duo faced together cemented an unbreakable bond of mutual abuse.

When Ronin'ra's estranged brother came calling a series of murders were soon put to blame on the Jinehga name and a period of subterfuge and confusion as Orien'to implemented the use of glamours to hide his true identity it destroyed the relations between Star and the Luminary of Kindred, Nailah, forever. Leaving for greener pastures the two have been in and out of trouble ever since.

Heavensward After her mate Ronin'ra and her only real friend Raelyse betrayed her trust she was devastated. Her botched attempt at suicide created a new, distant resolve in the heart-broken woman but to make matters more difficult she was pregnant. She holds on to fragile strings of hope while deep down the lies and layers of a fractured mask are starting to frey what little spark of goodness is left in her.

Hard Limits

Hard Limits

I am a very laid-back and easy going player. Who I am is very different from who my character is. I am always willing to listen to ideas and conceive new plots. I won't judge you even if your thing isn't my cup of tea. Respect me and I'll respect you. That said there are some things that are hard limits and I will not budge on.

• Other-world canon / inter-dimensional travel
• Absurd / Cartoon-like (e.g. Falling off a cliff and creating a giant crater but you're okay! It's ACME)
• Blatant disregard for FFXIV's lore
• Changing my character to fit your plot
• Nullification / Maiming to the point of disability. (I don't mind my character getting hurt but do not remove limbs)
• Death & Rebirth
• Fantasia (Lore Devs said Fantasia is not a lore item. I have 0 interest in any plot that involves race changing)

It's safe to bet if it's not in my list of hard limits I will at least consider it. I love dark, mature content as much as I love light-hearted humor and fun. If you want to be villainous toward my character feel free as long as you're willing to also accept the consequences. If you want a reason to play with Star here are some ways we could come across one another.

• Heard about her work as a model / promotional girl and hire her to bark about some event you're having.
• Meet her on the road travelling anywhere in Eorzea
• (DARK/PLOT): Know about the bounty on her head and seek to capture / take her in.
• Are a long lost sibling from the Clan from Gyr Abania
