<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#444146;font-family:Georgia;"><div style="padding-bottom:14px;font-size:16px;"><i>"To live is to feel death's shadow."</i></div></div>

<div style="padding-bottom:14px;font-size:13px;color:#444146;font-family:Georgia;">Born into a highly esteemed family among Gridania's gentry, Solenne's life was one of privilege and duty from the very beginning. But while she was learning to become a fine lady and a respectable conjurer, she was also secretly learning how to sneak through shadows, pick locks, gather information, and wield a pair of daggers. By the time she was 12 years old, she already knew that the life her parents had planned for her was not the one she wanted. As she grew older, she hid more and more of herself away from the world, until the woman known as Solenne Lagarde in polite society was only a pale shadow of the real Solenne. Upon reaching adulthood, her dreams became reality, and she began to secretly engage in dangerous and daring exploits under the alias "Lady Winter." She led a team of adventurers on rescue missions to Ishgard, infiltrating the city and smuggling out dozens of so-called heretics condemned to die at Witchdrop. When the death of her best friend and co-leader brought these missions to an end, she turned to smaller intrigues and adventures in the Black Shroud to ease her boredom. Eventually, she joined the Mythril Wings, a La Noscea-based free company devoted to the pursuit of knowledge, the betterment of the world, and the protection of the weak. She then unveiled her secret life and showed Eorzea her true colors. No longer is Solenne Lagarde merely known as a wealthy Gridanian socialite, businesswoman, and conjurer. Now she openly embraces her role as a leader in her free company and a force for positive change in the world.</div>

<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="General"><div style="font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #4f5766;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px black;letter-

<div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#26212B;font-family:Georgia;">Solenne's natural lankiness is softened by gentle curves and the lithe grace of a dancer. She is of medium stature, neither standing out from a crowd nor becoming lost in it. There are few visible scars or blemishes on her fair skin. Her hair exhibits her playful individualism: since her adolescent years, she has been dying her pale blond locks a distinctive shade of smokey blue with frosted highlights. Her eyes are also blue and usually accentuated with smudged black eyeliner and light blue shadow. Her lips are typically stained a soft cherry-red shade. Her face is heart-shaped, her mouth generous, her eyes keen and tilted up at the outer corners. She often appears to be smiling ever-so-slightly over some private joke.</div></div>

<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="General"><div style="font-family:Georgia;padding:10px 15px; background: #4f5766;font-size:16px;color:#ffffff; text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px black;letter-spacing:0.2em;"><center>PERSONALITY</center></div></span></h3>

<div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#444146;font-family:Georgia;">Solenne's manners and bearing have all the elegance and refinement that one would expect from the scion of one of Gridania's wealthiest and most respected families. She is poised, charismatic, and when the situation allows for it, vivacious. She sparkles at large social gatherings, yet seems equally content to enjoy a polite tête-à-tête with an acquaintance. But she is more than just a well-bred lady. She has the heart of an adventurer, the soul of a leader, and the mind of a tactician. There is a restlessness in her that cannot be stilled. She craves danger and excitement, but not merely for their own sake. Instead, her goal is to bring change to the world, one rescued soul or one vanquished foe at a time. She's only happy when she's dreaming impossible dreams and fighting for hopeless causes.

He became very ill and left the company, and now she has no idea where he is, or whether he's even still alive.</div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;color:#444146;">Thank you for visiting Solenne's wiki. If you're interested in learning about my other characters, please visit [http://solennelagarde.tumblr.com my FFXIV tumblr blog], which contains shorter RP profiles for each of my alts. My blog also contains more screenshots, playlists, stories, RP threads, and and other information about my characters.

<div align=justify><div style="padding:0px 10px; font-size:16px;color:#000000;font-family:Georgia;text-shadow: 1px 1px 1px silver;">'''RP Preferences and Limits'''</div></div>
:<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;color:#444146;">■ '''RP Style''' I tend to write paragraph posts, and sometimes my posts spill over into several chat entries. I find that this more descriptive style of RP gives me better immersion than short, choppy posts. I'm willing to write shorter posts, especially at crowded events where there is significant chat scroll, but overall I find that RP style less fulfilling. Also, while typos happen to the best of us, I prefer to RP with people who make some effort to use correct grammar and punctuation. But I will definitely make allowances if English is not your first language.</div></div>
:<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;color:#444146;">■ '''Limits''' At present, I am only willing to ERP with close friends whom I deeply trust. I have nothing against ERP or those who enjoy it, but due to some bad experiences, I am ''very'' picky about my ERP partners. If we've been RPing together for a while, feel free to ask, but please be willing to accept my answer if I say no. Please note that I will ''not'' RP scenes involving sexual violence. Brief or subtle allusions to rape are acceptable. Detailed descriptions are not. I also don't like RPing scenes involving extreme gore, body horror, or torture, although I might be willing to make exceptions in very specific circumstances. Violent scenes that are less gore-heavy are fine. Several of my characters live violent lifestyles, and my RP reflects that.</div></div>

<td style="width: 50%;vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Helvetica;"><h3><span class="mw-headline">

<div align=justify><div style="padding:0px 10px; font-size:16px;color:#000000;font-family:Georgia;text-shadow: 1px 1px 1px silver;">'''RP Hooks'''</div></div>
<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;color:#444146;">If you're interested in meeting Solenne, see below for some possible ways our characters could cross paths. I'm also willing to RP established relationships. Do you want your character to be a long lost friend, ally, or relative of Solenne's? There are several ways to make that work.</div></div>
:<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;color:#444146;">■ Solenne has been an active member of the Conjurer's Guild since she was 12 years old (so about 19 years). She no longer spends much time at the guild now that she lives in La Noscea, but she still stops by from time to time. If you play a conjurer who trained at the guild, there's a strong chance that your character has met Solenne before.</div></div>
:<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;color:#444146;">■ Is your character the adventurous sort? Were they the kind of person who would have been interested in smuggling heretics out of Ishgard? Maybe they were part of Solenne's team. Alternatively, they could have been a collaborator who assisted Solenne from inside Isghard, or even one of the refugees that Solenne rescued. Or perhaps your character was on the opposite side. Perhaps they were a temple knight or an inquisitor who once sought to capture the elusive Lady Winter. The possibilities are endless.</div></div>
:<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;color:#444146;">■ Do you play a member of Gridania's wealthy elite? Then your character has probably met Solenne at various social functions in the past. Solenne is the last surviving member of one of Gridania's most respected families. Her deceased father, Gautier Lagarde, was once a force to be reckoned with in Gridania, with contacts in the Order of the Twin Adders, the Wood Wailers, and the God's Bow, not to mention the various guilds. Perhaps your character comes from a rival family, or perhaps they made their debut in polite society at the same time Solenne did. If you play a young gentleman, Solenne has probably danced and flirted with him at parties. Maybe she even allowed him to steal a kiss before promptly forgetting his name. She had a reputation for being flighty and frivolous in those days.</div></div>
:<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;color:#444146;">■ Solenne is an officer in her free company, so if your character needs to hire a group of adventurers for any purpose, she would be a good person to talk to. While the Mythril Wings are a free company with good intentions, they aren't above getting involved in some shady dealings to achieve their goals. Don't be afraid to ask them to do something not-quite-legal. If they think your character's heart is in the right place, they'll probably take the job.</div></div>
:<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;color:#444146;">■ If your character is a businessperson, they might meet Solenne that way. She not only handles all the business concerns of the Mythril Wings, but she has many private investments of her own.</div></div>

''"She is truly better than all of us; Halone smiles upon her, and raises her shield against the unjust in her defense."'' - Lord Aronaux de Farendaire

== Appearance ==

'''Height:''' A few ilms below average

'''Weight:''' Relatively thin; despite the wealth and food security afforded to her by her nobility, Judiel does not eat to excess, preferring to ensure that the poor and downtrodden she serves have enough food to simply survive.

'''Complexion: ''' Fair-skinned with freckles

'''Hair: ''' Dark black, occasionally dyed in the Dalamud red of House Farendaire.

'''Eyes: ''' Dark blue

Judiel holds a deep and unshakable belief in the Twelve, most especially her patron goddess Halone but she is loathe to accept teachings of the Holy Ishgardian Orthodox Church of Halone particularly unconscionable. While she professes Halone as her patron, Judiel focuses mainly on the Fury's calls for mercy and justice for the poor and sick. Judiel would never want for an apostate or heretic to suffer execution in the name of Halone, and she deeply believes that this is against the very character of the Fury Herself.

=== <br/><u>'''''<span style="font-size:medium;">Positive</span>'''''</u> ===
[[Solenne Lagarde]] - A long-time friend and partner in crime, Judiel worked with Solenne Lagarde for years in a smuggling ring devoted to removing accused heretics from the danger of the Inquisition. After the death of Solenne's lover and kingpin of the operation, Judiel fell out of communication with her until a chance meeting at the Grindstone, a tournament in Ul'dah. The two now speak regularly and continue to orchestrate battles they feel are worth fighting for. Judiel trusts Solenne more than any other soul in the world, and would readily die to save her friend's life.

[[Virella Douront]] - Moved to tears after Aronaux informed her the story of the pregnant Ishgardian exile, Judiel has gone out of hey way to send several care packages to Virella Douront to give as much comfort as she possibly can. After a long and contemplative conversation in Limsa Lominsa, Judiel counts Virella among her close acquaintances, and is glad to have found a woman who has come to the same conclusions on the state of the world as she has. Judiel sees Virella as a proud, noble, and just Lady of Ishgard, and mourns the fact she has been exiled from the Holy See simply because of a pregnancy by a foreign Hyuran lover.

[[Hiro Matsubara]] - An amnesiac hyur Judiel met whilst she walked about the streets of Limsa Lominsa shortly after Ishgard's reentry into the Eorzean Alliance. Finding him a curious fellow, Judiel immediately struck a friendship with Hiro, discovering they shared a wish she had scarcely even realized before: adventure. These two kindred spirits have seen their relationship blossom quite quickly, and their shared romantic attraction blazes as strong as their wanderlust.

<span style="font-size:smaller;">Note: This section is editable by anyone. Just keep in mind that the rumors here may be both true or false.</span>

"Lord Galendor de Farendaire was a good, holy, and just man. 'Tis a shame that he fell to the the Dravanians, twenty years ago, but his legacy lives on. Lord Aronaux and Lady Judiel, the twins, are both lovely, pious people, I assure you." - Elderly Ishgardian Servant to House Farendaire

"Lady Winter is a hated woman here in Ishgard - at least, the echelons who embrace the Fury's Will unquestionably - yet let us not forget that with her in every lowborn's tale is Lady Autumn. I shall bring Lady Autumn to the sword just as soon as I would Lady Winter." - Inquisitor in the Tribunal

"Lady Judiel? Didn't she try to be a clergywoman or something? I recall that she was training in Halonic doctrine until she abandoned her education. Rumors swirled that she had fallen into bed with a fellow student, but no one else in the Scholasticate picked up their possessions and left. 'Tis not that anyone truly cared who a clergywoman knew behind closed doors, but the Enchiridion warns against it." - Sleep-deprived Student in the Scholasticate

"I believe I met Lady Judiel Farendaire once, although I might be thinking of someone else. If recollection serves, she's a very sweet and prettily behaved young noblewoman. I know no ill of her." - [[Solenne Lagarde]]

== History ==
Born in her house's ancestral seat, Castle Farendaire, secluded in a peaceful, sleepy valley at the edges of a lake, Judiel and her twin brother Aronaux knew little hardship in the first four years of their lives. The terror of the Dravanian Horde was known to them, certainly, and they saw for themselves the different lives of commoners, peasantry, and the various ranks of nobility, but hardship and war were distant things for them. Their sleepy life ended when the sun itself was blotted out by the approach of the Horde, and despite the valiant efforts of Lord Garion, his lieges, and the militias of the common folk living in fortress's vicinity, Castle Farendaire and all its lands fell to the enemy; only Lady Celinae, the widow of Garion, her twin children, three guards, her chosen manservants and the wet nurse of the children escaped through a hidden passage under the fortress.

Celinae's political mastery, vast range of contacts and acquaintances throughout Ishgardian territory, her relatives in her maiden House Embrelle, and House Fortemps' eternal debt to House Farendaire (through the valiant action of Ser Abelard, founder of House Farendaire five centuries before) allowed the remnants of her family to settle in the capital and live a comfortable, if quiet life. Judiel showed an early propensity for charity, goodwill towards the common people, and prayer, leading Celinae to send Judiel to Saint Endalim's Scholasticate, where she was privately tutored by Father Augustinoix Rameau.

When Judiel came of age, she was ordained a minister of the Orthodox Church, and proceeded thenceforth to attend to the needs of those in need, within Ishgard and beyond its gates. Judiel returned to the Scholasticate in the interests of elevating herself as a priestess, yet she realized early that she desired neither the chastity nor mundane lifestyle of clerical life.

In the years after the disastrous Calamity, Judiel came to befriend the Gridanians Richaud Debonet née Monsoulois and his lover, Mademoiselle Solenne de Lagarde, who operated under the names Lord and Lady Winter as they smuggled accused heretics out of Ishgard. Liberal in her faith and loathe to see the innocent killed needlessly by the Inquisition, Judiel joined their operation and saved many under the pseudonym Lady Autumn. Some years later, Richaud Debonet was captured and executed by the Inquisition, and the entire group parted ways; Judiel would not see Solenne again until after the Gates of Judgement had been opened, at a chance meeting outside Ul'dah.

As civil unrest in the wake of the Archbishop Thordan VII's fall in Azys Lla, Judiel held firm to her faith and goddess even as approval of the Church descended into hatred; though she disapproved of the more conservative leaders of the Church, and believed the new wisdom of Ser Aymeric and the High Houses, she believed in her heart of hearts that Halone was the loving protector of her Chosen People. This was the darkest time for Judiel, as she bore the brunt of both clerical disdain and the commoners' hatred, and on an otherwise normal night she was stoned brutally by three Brumelings; only a quickly-raised protective ward allowed for her escape to Farendaire Manor, where she locked herself away in isolation for a sennight. At the end of this time, however, she returned to her ministry, faithful as ever in the mercy of her goddess.

With the end of the Dragonsong War and rise of the Republic, Judiel has been faced with a crisis of vocation. While there will always be the poor and hungry in Ishgard, their situation had improved immensely with commoners in government and the need to feed soldiers abated, and Judiel was stricken with wanderlust and the desire to further hone her magical talents. She has reconciled her conflicting desires and Halonic obligations by being granted by the Church the blessing to bring Halone's justice across the realm as a hunter of the voidsent and undead She abhors.

* The Ardently Faithful - A counter-revolutionary faction within Ishgard for which Aronaux has no patience.

* Loyalists of Nidhogg

Though once a devout defender of the Holy Ishgardian Orthodox Church of Halone the Fury, mainly out of nationalist sentiments above true religious conviction, Aronaux has become somewhat of a nonpracticing believer, claiming belief in the Fury and Enchiridion while rarely attending mass at Saint Reymanaud's Cathedral.

Lawful good to the point of being terribly uptight, but his heart is in the right place. Lord Farendaire bears a strong sense of duty, courage, and absolute loyalty to House Farendaire, the Holy See of Ishgard, the Faith, and those he has come to consider his friends. On the other hand, Aronaux is terribly standoffish to those he considers his cultural inferiors, such as auri and tribal miqo'te, while giving commoners the light of day only when it is necessary. With changing cultural attitudes and a change of his own priorities, however, Aronaux has begun to shed this bigotry.

Yet after much contemplation and a second conversation with Virella Douront and mutual friend Riven Astralyas, Aronaux has concluded that Virella's exile was unreasonably harsh for such a common offense, and he has become wary of the priest behind her banishment and the Holy Ishgardian Orthodox Church of Halone as a whole.

== History ==
''
Born in his house's ancestral seat, Castle Farendaire, secluded in a peaceful, sleepy valley at the edges of a lake, Aronaux and his twin sister Judiel knew little hardship in the first four years of their lives. The terror of the Dravanian Horde was known to them, certainly, and they saw for themselves the different lives of commoners, peasantry, and the various ranks of nobility, but hardship and war were distant things for them. Their sleepy life ended when the sun itself was blotted out by the approach of the Horde, and despite the valiant efforts of Lord Garion, his lieges, and the militias of the common folk living in fortress's vicinity, Castle Farendaire and all its lands fell to the enemy; only Lady Celinae, the widow of Garion, her twin children, three guards, her chosen manservants and the wet nurse of the children escaped through a hidden passage under the fortress.

Celinae's political mastery, vast range of contacts and acquaintances throughout Ishgardian territory, her relatives in her maiden House Embrelle, and House Fortemps' eternal debt to House Farendaire (through the valiant action of Ser Abelard, founder of House Farendaire five centuries before) allowed the remnants of her family to settle in the capital and live a comfortable, if quiet life. When he was of age, Aronaux was squired to Lord Sorel, his uncle, and showed a remarkable talent with the bow early in his training.

When Aronaux came of age, he was knighted appropriately and stationed at Camp Dragonhead, the largest fortress in Coerthas flying the banner of House Fortemps; additionally, as the only male heir of Garion, he was now the lord of the house, yet his more politically savvy mother handled most important matters. In time, he found love with a knight stationed in Steel Vigil, under the vassalage of House Haillenarte; despite talk of marriage only some moons before, Aronaux watched from the battlements of Camp Dragonhead with horror as the fire and smoke of the Vigil under siege rose over the horizon.

Lord Aronaux served valiantly in combat as the Dragonstar flared brightly, serving Fury and Country at Camp Dragonhead and on the Steps of Faith against Vishap. He was suspicious of the slow tide of foreigners entering Ishgard under Fortemps supervision; he regarded them as useful allies in the rural areas of Coerthas, but to invite them beyond the Gates of Judgements seem to him then as foolish and impractical. As he gradually made acquaintances with the foreigners, and the lies of the Church revealed, his disapproval and hostility faded away.

As civil unrest in the wake of the Archbishop Thordan VII's fall in Azys Lla, Aronaux took a moderate stance which placed himself between the extremes of the conservatism of his mother and liberalism of his twin sister.

With the end of the Dragonsong War and rise of the Republic, Aronaux is a proud representative in the House of Lords, where he is well-regarded as a brilliant speaker, writer, and hardliner against both clerical and commoner extremism.

Apart from his duties as knight and lord of Ishgard, Aronaux is a noted published historian, writing on such issues as the Dragonsong War, the Autumn War, Belah'dia, and proto-Ishgardian civilization before the murder of Ratatoskr.''

== Rumors ==

<span style="font-size:smaller;">Note: This section is editable by anyone. Just keep in mind that the rumors here may be both true or false.</span>

"Lord Galendor de Farendaire was a good, holy, and just man. 'Tis a shame that he fell to the the Dravanians, twenty years ago, but his legacy lives on. Lord Aronaux and Lady Judiel, the twins, are both lovely, pious people, I assure you." - Elderly Ishgardian Servant to House Farendaire

"His father's a man to be mourned, his mother's a woman to be feared, his sister's a woman to be loved." - Ishgardian Knight of House Farendaire

"None of us have been able to solicit even a longing stare from Lord Farendaire! It's not as if he's betrothed to any particular girl..." - Airheaded Ishgardian Noblewoman

"Half the women of the Pillars are trying to bed that poor Farendaire boy. The other half are letting their brothers know about him." - Ishgardian Nobleman

"I believe the boy means well, but he is a product of the culture in which he was raised. He is of Ishgard, proudly so, and therefore he is misled on certain subjects. Unfortunately, ignorance and indoctrination can be as dangerous as malice." - [[Solenne Lagarde]]

"I think at his core he is a good man, and true. He is just...woefully, frustratingly sheltered. Nothing that cannot be fixed with a bit of healthy exposure to the rougher parts of life." - [[Eliane Dufresne]]

== History ==
''
Born in the Coerthan wilderness to Lord Galendor and Lady Celinae, Aronaux and his twin sister Judiel were raised at the Ishgardian fortress and Farendaire ancestral home of Castle Farendaire until the age of four; the family of four lived quite an idyllic, peaceful life, somewhat removed from the chaos of the Dragonsong War elsewhere by fortune alone. This fortune did not last; shortly after Aronaux's fourth nameday had passed, the Dravanain Horde flooded into the valley in which Castle Farendaire stood, and utterly decimated both its stone walls and the inhabitants inside. Lady Celinae, as word arrived that her husband had fallen to the enemy, and knights still alive fled en masse, took her children and fled through an old tunnel system, arriving within a few moons to the Holy See, where House Fortemps aided the wounded Farendaires in offering a manor to them within the city.

As time passed in Ishgard, Aronaux grew to into a strong, disciplined young man particularly proficient with the bow. At the age of eighteen, after obtaining knighthood in service to House Fortemps, Aronaux was stationed at Camp Dragonhead for a year's time; that year was cut short by the fall of Dalamud, and in the chaos of the Calamity Aronaux lost many a friend, acquaintance, and ally to crazed wildlife, voidsent, and the flames of the Elder Primal Bahamut.

Lord Farendaire returned to Ishgard and dwelt there for the next five years, save for the occasional hunting party out in the Coerthan wilderness or arrival to a battle with the Dravanians. Yet it was not until the Dravanian siege led by Vishap that sorely tested Aronaux's resolve, for he found himself upon the Steps of Faith with all the Horde's might before him. This, far more than the Calamity, is the moment he remembers most clearly; he never felt as much endangered by the Dravanians' later invasion of the city, although he aimed his bow against the enemy as well that day.

Within recent moons, the unrest in Ishgard has affected House Farendaire most personally; Lady Judiel, a fervent believer in the Holy Ishgardian Orthodox Church of Halone, who oftentimes can be found deep within the Brume administering to the cold and starving, was assaulted by a pair of anti-clerical revolutionaries whilst she traveled alone. Although she was able to muster a magical ward and flee, House Farendaire has begun to prepare for a march into Coerthas - and a return to the long-abandoned Castle Farendaire, now that the Dravanian Horde has inexplicably disappeared.''

==Personality==
Hiro is something of a clean slate, free from the burdens of whatever life he once lived before amnesia befell him. He is friendly to anyone who hasn't proved themselves unworthy of his kindness, and is perfectly willing to share a table and a drink with complete strangers should they invite the opportunity. While he's happy with his comfortable life in La Noscea, he's lately found himself longing for something more, something new, and is more than willing to break a rule or two for adventure. He carries with him an almost childlike sense of wonder, and sometimes naïveté, that often causes others to mistake him for being younger than he truly is. Conversely, his youthful nature does belie a certain wisdom, oft shown in seemingly mundane, yet equally meaningful statements about how he thinks the world may work. He's an incredible lightweight, when it comes to drink, and tends to turn into a drooling mass of gibberish and bad puns after just one mug of ale. Despite his outward friendliness, large crowds of strangers raise anxieties from him, leading him to prefer small groups of close friends over a horde of acquaintances. He's very protective of those closest to him, sometimes even a little clingy if he's feeling fragile, yet does just as well on his own if need be. He's prone to bouts of melancholy, but has yet to be seen angry. Ironically, he also has a good memory.

His alignment is Neutral Good. His nameday is estimated to be in July.

*Reading. Hiro is not only quite smart, but has an incredible love of learning. He was quick to re-learn how to read and write Eorzean, and spends much of his free time delving into books of all sorts.
*Cats. No one has an explanation, but Hiro is the first to melt for any sort of feline creature. He's even adopted one of his own, whom he calls "Twinkie."
*Food! Both Doman and Eorzean. He's in the process of figuring out how to cook for himself.
*Magic. The spells etched into his arm have intrigued Hiro, and he wonders what clues of his past he can uncover through the Arcane.
*Pun-based humor.

===Dislikes===
*Doing ANYTHING halfway. This presents itself in strange ways, particularly through the cleanliness of his room. It's either really clean, or really messy. There IS no in between.

**Hiro especially dislikes those who value material possessions over the lives of people.
*Rude people. Particularly the ones who attack random strangers for the sake of banditry.

Kri'sie Crimsonlion and Yuki Kurenai: Hiro met both Kri'sie and Yuki recently at Bronze Lake, after being invited by the former to join their impromptu hot spring party. Hiro found the brash, loud Hellsguard Kri'sie to be funny and welcoming, despite her abrasive nature. He also found a kindred spirit in the Doman Yuki, and they talked at length about the unusual nature of Eorzean culture. (Despite Hiro most-likely being Eorzean himself.)

Gwyn Trahaern: While they've scare met, Hiro quickly took a liking to Gwyn, finding her career as a reporter beyond intriguing. Their first meeting was filled with a variety of stories, silly humor, and more talk of food than the average man could stomach. Pun not intended.

[[Judiel Farendaire]]: Until recently, Hiro was rather ignorant to the complexities of Ishgardian culture. Through a stroke of luck, he met the kindly Judiel, who was quick to teach him the basics about her homeland's culture and war. However, his interest in the woman soon moved beyond that of her home city. In only a few short meetings, Hiro has found a kindred spirit in Judiel, who shares his insatiable wanderlust and desire for adventure. Most recently, Hiro confessed romantic feelings for his dear friend, and was surprised to find she reciprocated, particularly because of Ishgard's disdainful views on inter-racial relationships.

==Biography==
===Arrival===
About a year and a half ago, a small Doman refugee settlement on La Noscea was disturbed by a strange occurrence. A mysterious man recognized by no one seemingly fell out of the sky, crashing through the boughs of pine trees and landing in a rose bush. He wore no clothing and carried no keepsakes, having only a series of mysterious tattoos to possibly identify him by. When he awoke, he struggled with speech, but managed just enough to communicate that he had no knowledge of where, or WHO he was. The mystery man spent some time recovering and relearning. He quickly remembered how to properly speak, read, and write, but little else. The refugees dubbed him "Matsubara," for the circumstances in which he was found, and soon after, the man chose the forename "Hiro." He's lived peacefully with his new family, forming particularly strong bonds with the three who found him, Rinko, Stahl, and Maiya, as well as Elala, the farmhand who took them in. On one occasion, however, peace was disturbed, and the settlement was attacked by a small group of bandits. It is then that Hiro discovered his tattoos' tie to Arcanima, instinctively using one of the spells to repel the attacker. Since then, Hiro has grown restless, trying to uncover the secrets of the spells into his body. While he still lives on Vylbrand, he aches to explore the world beyond, and see what he finds.

At the time, virtually nothing is known about Hiro from before his appearance at the refugee colony. As more is revealed, more will be added.

==Personality==
Hiro is something of a clean slate, free from the burdens of whatever life he once lived before amnesia befell him. He is friendly to anyone who hasn't proved themselves unworthy of his kindness, and is perfectly willing to share a table and a drink with complete strangers should they invite the opportunity. While he's happy with his comfortable life in La Noscea, he's lately found himself longing for something more, something new, and is more than willing to break a rule or two for adventure. He carries with him an almost childlike sense of wonder, and sometimes naïveté, that often causes others to mistake him for being younger than he truly is. Conversely, his youthful nature does belie a certain wisdom, oft shown in seemingly mundane, yet equally meaningful statements about how he thinks the world may work. He's an incredible lightweight, when it comes to drink, and tends to turn into a drooling mass of gibberish and bad puns after just one mug of ale. Despite his outward friendliness, large crowds of strangers raise anxieties from him, leading him to prefer small groups of close friends over a horde of acquaintances. He's very protective of those closest to him, sometimes even a little clingy if he's feeling fragile, yet does just as well on his own if need be. He's prone to bouts of melancholy, but has yet to be seen angry. Ironically, he also has a good memory.

His alignment is Neutral Good. His nameday is estimated to be in July.

*Reading. Hiro is not only quite smart, but has an incredible love of learning. He was quick to re-learn how to read and write Eorzean, and spends much of his free time delving into books of all sorts.
*Cats. No one has an explanation, but Hiro is the first to melt for any sort of feline creature. He's even adopted one of his own, whom he calls "Twinkie."
*Food! Both Doman and Eorzean. He's in the process of figuring out how to cook for himself.
*Magic. The spells etched into his arm have intrigued Hiro, and he wonders what clues of his past he can uncover through the Arcane.
*Pun-based humor.

===Dislikes===
*Doing ANYTHING halfway. This presents itself in strange ways, particularly through the cleanliness of his room. It's either really clean, or really messy. There IS no in between.

Kri'sie Crimsonlion and Yuki Kurenai: Hiro met both Kri'sie and Yuki recently at Bronze Lake, after being invited by the former to join their impromptu hot spring party. Hiro found the brash, loud Hellsguard Kri'sie to be funny and welcoming, despite her abrasive nature. He also found a kindred spirit in the Doman Yuki, and they talked at length about the unusual nature of Eorzean culture. (Despite Hiro most-likely being Eorzean himself.)

Gwyn Trahaern: While they've scare met, Hiro quickly took a liking to Gwyn, finding her career as a reporter beyond intriguing. Their first meeting was filled with a variety of stories, silly humor, and more talk of food than the average man could stomach. Pun not intended.

[[Judiel Farendaire]]: Until recently, Hiro was rather ignorant to the complexities of Ishgardian culture. Through a stroke of luck, he met the kindly Judiel, who was quick to teach him the basics about her homeland's culture and war. However, his interest in the woman soon moved beyond that of her home city. In only a few short meetings, Hiro has found a kindred spirit in Judiel, who shares his insatiable wanderlust and desire for adventure. Most recently, Hiro confessed romantic feelings for his dear friend, and was surprised to find she reciprocated, particularly because of Ishgard's disdainful views on inter-racial relationships.

==Biography==
===Arrival===
About a year and a half ago, a small Doman refugee settlement on La Noscea was disturbed by a strange occurrence. A mysterious man recognized by no one seemingly fell out of the sky, crashing through the boughs of pine trees and landing in a rose bush. He wore no clothing and carried no keepsakes, having only a series of mysterious tattoos to possibly identify him by. When he awoke, he struggled with speech, but managed just enough to communicate that he had no knowledge of where, or WHO he was. The mystery man spent some time recovering and relearning. He quickly remembered how to properly speak, read, and write, but little else. The refugees dubbed him "Matsubara," for the circumstances in which he was found, and soon after, the man chose the forename "Hiro." He's lived peacefully with his new family, forming particularly strong bonds with the three who found him, Rinko, Stahl, and Maiya, as well as Elala, the farmhand who took them in. On one occasion, however, peace was disturbed, and the settlement was attacked by a small group of bandits. It is then that Hiro discovered his tattoos' tie to Arcanima, instinctively using one of the spells to repel the attacker. Since then, Hiro has grown restless, trying to uncover the secrets of the spells into his body. While he still lives on Vylbrand, he aches to explore the world beyond, and see what he finds.

At the time, virtually nothing is known about Hiro from before his appearance at the refugee colony. As more is revealed, more will be added.

==Biography==
===Arrival===
About a year and a half ago, a small Doman refugee settlement on La Noscea was disturbed by a strange occurrence. A mysterious man recognized by no one seemingly fell out of the sky, crashing through the boughs of pine trees and landing in a rose bush. He wore no clothing and carried no keepsakes, having only a series of mysterious tattoos to possibly identify him by. When he awoke, he struggled with speech, but managed just enough to communicate that he had no knowledge of where, or WHO he was. The mystery man spent some time recovering and relearning. He quickly remembered how to properly speak, read, and write, but little else. The refugees dubbed him "Matsubara," for the circumstances in which he was found, and soon after, the man chose the forename "Hiro." He's lived peacefully with his new family, forming particularly strong bonds with the three who found him, Rinko, Stahl, and Maiya, as well as Elala, the farmhand who took them in. On one occasion, however, peace was disturbed, and the settlement was attacked by a small group of bandits. It is then that Hiro discovered his tattoos' tie to Arcanima, instinctively using one of the spells to repel the attacker. Since then, Hiro has grown restless, trying to uncover the secrets of the spells into his body. While he still lives on Vylbrand, he aches to explore the world beyond, and see what he finds.

At the time, virtually nothing is known about Hiro from before his appearance at the refugee colony. As more is revealed, more will be added.

==Personality==
Hiro is something of a clean slate, free from the burdens of whatever life he once lived before amnesia befell him. He is friendly to anyone who hasn't proved themselves unworthy of his kindness, and is perfectly willing to share a table and a drink with complete strangers should they invite the opportunity. While he's happy with his comfortable life in La Noscea, he's lately found himself longing for something more, something new, and is more than willing to break a rule or two for adventure. He carries with him an almost childlike sense of wonder, and sometimes naïveté, that often causes others to mistake him for being younger than he truly is. Conversely, his youthful nature does belie a certain wisdom, oft shown in seemingly mundane, yet equally meaningful statements about how he thinks the world may work. He's an incredible lightweight, when it comes to drink, and tends to turn into a drooling mass of gibberish and bad puns after just one mug of ale. Despite his outward friendliness, large crowds of strangers raise anxieties from him, leading him to prefer small groups of close friends over a horde of acquaintances. He's very protective of those closest to him, sometimes even a little clingy if he's feeling fragile, yet does just as well on his own if need be. He's prone to bouts of melancholy, but has yet to be seen angry. Ironically, he also has a good memory.

His alignment is Neutral Good. His nameday is estimated to be in July.

===Likes===
*Reading. Hiro is not only quite smart, but has an incredible love of learning. He was quick to re-learn how to read and write Eorzean, and spends much of his free time delving into books of all sorts.
*Cats. No one has an explanation, but Hiro is the first to melt for any sort of feline creature. He's even adopted one of his own, whom he calls "Twinkie."
*Food! Both Doman and Eorzean. He's in the process of figuring out how to cook for himself.
*Magic. The spells etched into his arm have intrigued Hiro, and he wonders what clues of his past he can uncover through the Arcane.

===Dislikes===
*Doing ANYTHING halfway. This presents itself in strange ways, particularly through the cleanliness of his room. It's either really clean, or really messy. There IS no in between.

*Rude people. Particularly the ones who attack random strangers for the sake of banditry.

Kri'sie Crimsonlion and Yuki Kurenai: Hiro met both Kri'sie and Yuki recently at Bronze Lake, after being invited by the former to join their impromptu hot spring party. Hiro found the brash, loud Hellsguard Kri'sie to be funny and welcoming, despite her abrasive nature. He also found a kindred spirit in the Doman Yuki, and they talked at length about the unusual nature of Eorzean culture. (Despite Hiro most-likely being Eorzean himself.)

Gwyn Trahaern: While they've scare met, Hiro quickly took a liking to Gwyn, finding her career as a reporter beyond intriguing. Their first meeting was filled with a variety of stories, silly humor, and more talk of food than the average man could stomach. Pun not intended.

[[Judiel Farendaire]]: Until recently, Hiro was rather ignorant to the complexities of Ishgardian culture. Through a stroke of luck, he met the kindly Judiel, who was quick to teach him the basics about her homeland's culture and war.

In only a few short meetings, Hiro has found a kindred spirit in Judiel, who shares his insatiable wanderlust and desire for adventure. Most recently, Hiro confessed romantic feelings for his dear friend, and was surprised to find she reciprocated, particularly because of Ishgard's disdainful views on inter-racial relationships.

[[File:Ffxiv 11182015 200122.jpg|thumb|Aekira Swyfte moping obnoxiously in Camp Dragonhead.]]

You may also be interested in: [[Hiro Matsubara]]

==Basic info==
'''Name:''' Aekira Swyfte

'''Nicknames:''' Aek, Aeki, Kiri, Kir, and any number of other silly nicknames. Also commonly referred to as "Handsome."

'''Birthplace and Nationality:''' Born in a small village north of Limsa Lominsa, making him La Noscean by birth.

'''Current Residence:''' Horizon, Thanalan.

'''Sexuality:''' Heterosexual

'''Marital Status:''' Single

'''Occupation:''' Mercenary, who specializes in finding missing people and items.

'''Server:''' Balmung

'''Quote:''' ''''' "You know, sometimes people ask me how I got into this profession. Finding missing people, missing things. Truth is, I'm looking for something myself. Something important. And it's something I can't afford to lose, because honestly, it's the only thing I have left." '''''

==Appearance==
'''Gender:'''Male

'''Race and Clan:''' Mix-clan Hyur, though his outward appearance is far more that of a midlander than a highlander.

'''Age:''' 22, 23 or so.

'''Height:''' About 6'3"

'''Body Type:''' Wiry, narrow through the hips and torso. His chest and arms are particularly muscular. He's almost always slouching a little.

'''Eye Color:''' Pale blue

'''Hair Color:''' Bluish black

'''Complexion:''' Fair-skinned, with an olive-y twinge.

'''Notable Features:''' Aekira's body is riddled with scars, the most notable being a thin one lining his left cheek and a larger, jagged one through his upper abdomen. His ears are multipierced.

==Personality==
Aekira's outward personality is somewhat artificial. He works hard to maintain a cool, aloof exterior. In reality, he's very shy, soft-spoken, but easily annoyed. While he'll talk about parts of his past if asked, he rarely elaborates completely upon anything, likely out of discomfort. When drunk, he either becomes cynical and emotional, or quiet and passive, depending on the mood and the company. His hands shake noticably when he's upset, and his expression is as readable as a book, despite his best efforts. He's an angry crier, which he considers unfortunate given his status as an angry individual. He isn't always quick to trust people, but when he befriends someone, he will do anything to keep them safe. More than anything, Aekira is driven by a desire to help the people he's close to, if only to repay them for constantly protecting him.

His alignment is True Neutral. His nameday is April 18th.

===Likes===
*Song. Aekira's an avid musician, and supposedly a lovely singer, but he's too stage-frightened to showcase either talent comfortably.
* Drinking, and probably a little too much.
**He favors brandy, particularly a brand called Sparklight. ''"Aged nine years in an oaken barrel soaked in Mor Dhona ectoplasm. Sounds weird, but it gives you a nice little tingle in the back of your throat."''
* Birds. Particularly the intelligent ones, like crows, owls, chocobos, and the like. Seagulls are the exception. He HATES seagulls.
*The ocean. But what self-loving Lominsan DOESN'T like the ocean?
*Friendly teasing, oddly enough.
*Organized sparring, far moreso than pointless bar brawls and forced underground rings. He enjoys honing his skills in such settings, and won the Grindstone event his second week of competing there.

===Dislikes===
*Oversized crowds and other tight spaces. Aekira is somewhat claustrophobic, and generally dislikes the caged feeling he experiences when surrounded by too many people. This may also contribute to the aforementioned stage fright.

Kieran (Pet Chocobo, or as Kiri calls him, the "Evil, evil ostrich.")

===Friends and Good Standing===
U'Rhynaer Tia: Aekira's business partner and closest friend is a tea-loving healer from the Drake tribe. Rhyn joined Aekira's profession with a similar goal in mind, that being to find his missing sister, but also to make sure Kiri doesn't meet some gruesome fate at the hands of his own recklessness. A player NPC character.

Miyoh Hibana: The Raen woman known as Miyoh was one of the first people Rhyn and Aekira were hired to rescue. Out of both gratefulness and intrigue, she decided to accompany them. She gives painfully accurate advice, calling it "A mother's intuition." She's asked her business partners to help her find her young daughter, though she doubts they'll ever meet again. A player NPC character.

[[Catalina Darkblood]]: Aekira's lover disappeared some time ago on a personal vendetta. He waited for her for two years without contact, and even thought her dead until she suddenly returned to Thanalan. Aekira's since had a chance to talk things over with Cat, and the two are making an attempt at repairing their relationship... but opinions on the success of this "Second Take" vary greatly between the two.

[[Reina Dancer]]: A dear ally, drinking partner, and valued confidant, Reina became a fast friend of Aekira after he was caught eavesdropping on her conversation. Despite his outward annoyance, Aekira actually appreciates her teasing. Reina is also responsible for introducing him to the Grindstone, and is probably the only person on the face of Eorzea who calls him "Aek."

[[Judiel Farendaire]]: While not necessarily friends, Aekira and Lady Farendaire have occasionally assisted each other in professional endeavors. They seem to have a history, but the two share no hard feelings between each other.

Vektis Sol: Aekira first met young Vektis at the Grindstone. He decided very quickly that he'd do anything to shut his loud mouth up, alas, they did not meet on the battlefield. The Miqo'te's earnest, try-hard personality has since grown on him. Aekira can trust Vektis to liven up any party, though he still pities the kid's lack of intelligence.

[[Lucaell Tareth'eian]]: A fellow hyur musician Aekira met in the Quicksand, who approached him because the "Quiet, intimidating ones" are the most interesting. She's attempting to rope Kiri into a duet, nervous though it makes him.

===Memorable Aquaintances===
[[Aronaux Farendaire]]: Aekira first encountered Aronaux while on a job in Coerthas, and quickly decided he disliked him after the Elezen declared Limsa was full of savages. Aekira often wonders how such a "Pompous ass" could possibly be related to someone as down-to-earth as Judiel.

Kri'sie Crimsonlion: Aekira's first experience with Kri'sie involved her dragging him across the Quicksand by the shirt collar in an attempt to get him to socialize, an experience he would very much like NOT to repeat. Kiri and Kri often tease each other about the incident.

[[Solenne Lagarde]]: Solenne and Aekira have never formally met, but have encountered each other a number of times. The Elezen woman gives Aekira a slightly uneasy feeling.

Reina Sol: While he doesn't know Vektis's sister well enough to call her 'friend,' Aekira finds Reina Sol pleasant, even if a little unassuming. He was impressed by her fighting talent at the Grindstone.

Domitien Jeulerand: Aekira's only experience with this pompous fellow occurred in the middle of a linkshell conversation outside the Quicksand. The Elezen mistook Aekira for being homeless and threw gil at his feet, despite his linkpearl and well-maintained weaponry being in plain view. Needless to say, this did NOT go over well.

==Biography==
===Pre-Calamity===
Aekira Swyfte was born and raised with his two brothers in a village near Bronze Lake. He took an interest in both his father's work as a sailor and his mother's as a musical instructor at a young age, and often dreamt of becoming a bard and having grand adventures. After his mother succumbed to illness during his twelfth summer, Aekira accompanied his elder brother, Fer, to Ul'dah, where the latter made a living as a performer and gladiator. It was on Ruby Road that he met Drake siblings U'Rhynaer and U'Yuna. The pair introduced both brothers to their native branch of the U tribe, where Aekira first learned how to use a bow and arrow. When the Garlean invasion of Eorzea reared its ugly head, Aekira and Fer rejoined with their arcanist brother, Scero, and the three formed an adventuring party. They enjoyed great success, until the battle at Carteneau and the following Calamity claimed Fer's life.

===Post-Calamity===
After Fer's death at Carteneau, Aekira and Scero had a falling out, not speaking for many years. In the meantime, Aekira worked as something akin to a bounty hunter, taking jobs in Thanalan for some time until he was recruited by a company. (The current whereabouts of this company are unknown, and he refuses to say.) He reconnected with U'Rhynaer, who has since become his best friend and closest confidant, occasional awkward flirtation aside. Aekira first met Scero again some five years after they separated, at which time he discovered the death of their father, and the foul play that may have been involved. This is a time period Aekira rarely elaborates upon, and it is only known that Scero disappeared not long after their reconciliation. It's thought that Scero's supposed death became the inspiration for Aekira's latest business venture, as they had become quite close again after settling their differences.

At the time, very little is known about Aekira's past outside of this, as he usually fails to elaborate upon any one time period. As more is revealed, more will be added to this section.

==Basic info==
'''Name:''' Aekira Swyfte

'''Nicknames:''' Aek, Aeki, Kiri, Kir, and any number of other silly nicknames. Also commonly referred to as "Handsome."

'''Birthplace and Nationality:''' Born in a small village north of Limsa Lominsa, making him La Noscean by birth.

'''Current Residence:''' Horizon, Thanalan.

'''Sexuality:''' Heterosexual

'''Marital Status:''' Single

'''Occupation:''' Mercenary, who specializes in finding missing people and items.

'''Server:''' Balmung

'''Quote:''' ''''' "You know, sometimes people ask me how I got into this profession. Finding missing people, missing things. Truth is, I'm looking for something myself. Something important. And it's something I can't afford to lose, because honestly, it's the only thing I have left." '''''

==Appearance==
'''Gender:'''Male

'''Race and Clan:''' Mix-clan Hyur, though his outward appearance is far more that of a midlander than a highlander.

'''Age:''' 22, 23 or so.

'''Height:''' About 6'3"

'''Body Type:''' Wiry, narrow through the hips and torso. His chest and arms are particularly muscular. He's almost always slouching a little.

'''Eye Color:''' Pale blue

'''Hair Color:''' Bluish black

'''Complexion:''' Fair-skinned, with an olive-y twinge.

'''Notable Features:''' Aekira's body is riddled with scars, the most notable being a thin one lining his left cheek and a larger, jagged one through his upper abdomen. His ears are multipierced.

==Personality==
Aekira's outward personality is somewhat artificial. He works hard to maintain a cool, aloof exterior. In reality, he's very shy, soft-spoken, but easily annoyed. While he'll talk about parts of his past if asked, he rarely elaborates completely upon anything, likely out of discomfort. When drunk, he either becomes cynical and emotional, or quiet and passive, depending on the mood and the company. His hands shake noticably when he's upset, and his expression is as readable as a book, despite his best efforts. He's an angry crier, which he considers unfortunate given his status as an angry individual. He isn't always quick to trust people, but when he befriends someone, he will do anything to keep them safe. More than anything, Aekira is driven by a desire to help the people he's close to, if only to repay them for constantly protecting him.

His alignment is True Neutral. His nameday is April 18th.

===Likes===
*Song. Aekira's an avid musician, and supposedly a lovely singer, but he's too stage-frightened to showcase either talent comfortably.
* Drinking, and probably a little too much.
**He favors brandy, particularly a brand called Sparklight. ''"Aged nine years in an oaken barrel soaked in Mor Dhona ectoplasm. Sounds weird, but it gives you a nice little tingle in the back of your throat."''
* Birds. Particularly the intelligent ones, like crows, owls, chocobos, and the like. Seagulls are the exception. He HATES seagulls.
*The ocean. But what self-loving Lominsan DOESN'T like the ocean?
*Friendly teasing, oddly enough.
*Organized sparring, far moreso than pointless bar brawls and forced underground rings. He enjoys honing his skills in such settings, and won the Grindstone event his second week of competing there.

===Dislikes===
*Oversized crowds and other tight spaces. Aekira is somewhat claustrophobic, and generally dislikes the caged feeling he experiences when surrounded by too many people. This may also contribute to the aforementioned stage fright.
*Being forced to sit still and otherwise being rendered helpless.
*Fighting without purpose. He wants a good reason to sink a fist into someone's face... and he's remarkable good at finding them.
*Fighting lancers, in ANY context.
*Pompousness.
*Coerthas, probably because of ALL THE POMPOUSNESS.

==Character==
===Personality===
Brash and openly xenophobic when in his native land of Ishgard, this Elezen is a man fighting a war against himself. Oddly enough, outside of Ishgard he is open, outgoing, friendly and even kind.

This internal conflict has driven the male towards arrogance, hedonism and relatively small abuses of his power - at least while in the Holy See. He knows the limits of his power and exactly what he can get away with. He's developed an inferiority complex like no other, due to his bastard birth and lack of true-born blood, however, he tries very hard to mask that cancerous aspect of his personality.

Anthony writes Arthurian Romance and children's fables ICly, and has a few small stories published under a nom de guerre. He also dabbles in poetry. The young man is innately skilled, but his writing is mainly rumination and fantasy. Higher literary plot and skills are still a bit beyond his grasp, but he does attempt them once in awhile.

He keeps a journal, bound in black leather. It is always with him, no matter where he is, or what he's wearing. Filled with soliloquies of self-doubt, stories of daily events, and his dreams committed to paper, the pages within this journal are things he would never speak of aloud - except maybe to a lover, or a best friend.

http://tinyurl.com/AVICJournal

===Appearance===
Lord Anthony de Valron is the only surviving offspring of an Elezen Lord of Ishgard. He is baseborn, but was granted his father's lands and titles, as the only surviving Valron. His face in general is reminiscent of his mother's but it has the sharp edge of his father's noble heritage. His ears, too, are smaller than a trueblooded Elezen. He is fair of hair, and his eyes are the hue of the finest of emeralds.

His armor is well-kept, perfectly shined. He's taken to wearing a Chivalric Coat when wearing his sword and a Foestriker's Tabaard when using his bow. He takes pride in his armor and weaponry, tending to their upkeep himself. In fact, his armor is kept on a mannequin in his private chambers in plain sight.

===Personality===
In Ishgard's forums and streets, Lord Anthony de Valron is the perfect example of nobility. His carriage is upright and proud, his emerald orbs rarely stop to look at the commoners decorating the street as the trash they are. Of course, that isn't actually what he thinks. However, the man has perfected the veneer of casual disdain necessary to be highborn in Ishgard - and it bothers him greatly.

In a southron city, Anthony is totally different. He's kind, flirtatious and funny. He'll approach anyone for a conversation, so long as they seem to be amicable. He introduces himself as Ser, not Lord due to people often disliking the very concept of nobility. It suits him, though, as he views himself in a far more martial light than some see other noblemen and women.

==Combat==

===Fighting Style and Weaponry===
Anthony fights with the strength, passion and skill of a Knight of Ishgard. He favors a bastard sword, forged with titanium alloy. He does not often use a shield, which allows him a more aggressive style of swordsmanship - however, situationally, the Knight will use one, mainly when fighting Lancers/Dragoons or Bards/Archers. Many of his enemies have overextended themselves because they viewed him as an easy target, only to have limbs cleaved from their bodies due to his quick strikes.

As of late, the Lord of House Valron has taken up the bow. He's often seen around with a shortbow as well as a bastard sword - his typical armament.

===Training and Innate Talent===
Lord de Valron has trained with Lance, Bow, and Sword since he was a child of six. He's put thousands of hours into his fighting skills and is suitably capable. He's also got an innate talent for quick reactions, making him a nimble swordsman and a skilled archer.

==Tendencies==

===Likes===
::* Anthony enjoys writing, and he keeps a black leather-bound journal on his person at all times. He also dabbles in writing songs, but has not the talent to sing them.
::* The Knight enjoys fighting and considers himself quite the swordsman. Some of it may be hubris, but the boy has a great deal of innate skill and years of training.
::* He enjoys spending time with his friends.
::* Anthony likes pretty girls. It tends to get him in trouble.

===Dislikes===
::* Dragons. Duh.
::* People who do not offer respect to him or others. He'll step in if he sees a fight, or argument.
::* The influx of new people in Ishgard. There's just way too many.

===Hobbies===
::* Writing - The Knight carries his journal everywhere.
::* Dueling - Anthony loves to spar and put his swordsmanship to good use. He's pretty good.
::* Business - He actually enjoys creating business relationships and making Gil.

===Local Haunts and Common Locations===
::* Ul'dah: Anthony can be found near the Quicksand, or seated in the Gold Court. He prefers the waterfalls and plants in that area, as he's quite unused to the heat.
::* Gridania: He's often seen at a table inside the Carline Canopy, towards the back. He doesn't like the crowds. He can also be located near or inside the Mih Khetto Amphitheatre
::* Coerthas/Ishgard: The Jeweled Crozier, the Astrologicum and the Fortemps Manor are all places that Anthony frequently haunts. Camp Dragonhead and the Observatorium in Central Coerthas are also common locations.

==Relationships==
===Family===
* Lord Aronaux de Farendaire
* Lady Aelayne de Valron (Soon to come alt, distant cousin!)

===Friends===

==Rumors==

===Common Rumors===
::* "Have you heard? Halone's Spear's comin' around again. That Lord de Valron's startin' up his private army once more. I hear he's hirin' the best, as long as they do what they're told. Pays well, too!" - Ishgardian Tavern Patron
::*
::*

===Uncommon Rumors===
::* "Oh? Lord Valron's rebuilding the Spear? Wonder where you heard that. You'd think he'd come to his father's lieutenants, eh?" - Ser Johnathon Durmont
::* "Lord Anthony's something else. The life of the party, to be told. Don't tell his friends, he's rather afraid of them finding out." - Ul'dahn Trustfund Party Boy
::*

===Rare Rumors===
::*
::* "Anthony wants to be the next Grand Company. Kid's got an ego bigger than his inferiority complex." A snort filled with derision accompanied the almost-insulting words before the well-born male walked off, without ever giving a name.
::*

===PC Rumors===
::* "Lord de Valron brings an unique mix of strength and personality to the mercenary business. Once he takes a contract, he'll see it through." - Ser C'adrien Tia
::*

==Halone's Spear==
The Free Company Halone's Spear is a private military contracting firm that does a great deal more than a standard mercenary company. The Spear maintains a reputation of perfection in the field - at least, in regards to their contracts. They have never broken one or failed while completing an assignment. Their operations range from razing a rebel village, escorting -very- expensive caravans of jewels and precious metals, to training a resistance force behind enemy lines. The Company has existed for two hundred and twenty five years and was House Valron's claim to fame for eons.

[Headcanon]
Ishgard has long fought the Dragonsong War, pitting those who fight for the Holy See against the hordes of Dravanians. It stands to reason that those who serve their terms in the military might seek another form of more lucrative fighting service afterwards. Perhaps, the best of these would seek service in a unit well known for their competency, their personal honor and the fact that they never, ever have abandoned or broken a contract.

House Valron founded this company of soldiers, and long ago - in the faintest of memories, the company saved a group of House Fortemps Knights and some minor members of the family from sure death by the Dravanian Horde. This served to both elevate the elder Valron from the gentry to the nobility, and to cement the reputation of the Company in Ishgard.
[End Headcanon]

[Introduction]
Enter, <Halone's Spear>, a highly-reputed and expert group of mercenaries who style themselves as a private army, rather than mercenaries. They prefer the term "contractor", to mercenary. If you have a problem, if no one else can help - and if you can afford them, maybe you can hire the Spear.

Soldiers who are part of Halone's Spear are military veterans, with years of experience and training. Fighting against them would be the equivalent of fighting against a modern day special forces unit.

'''Lawful Neutral'''

== Personality ==
Lawful good to the point of being terribly uptight, but his heart is in the right place. Lord Farendaire bears a strong sense of duty, courage, and absolute loyalty to House Farendaire, the Holy See of Ishgard, the Faith, and those he has come to consider his friends. On the other hand, Aronaux is terribly standoffish to those he considers his inferiors, such as auri and tribal miqo'te, while giving commoners the light of day only when it is necessary. With changing cultural attitudes and a change of his own priorities, however, Aronaux has begun to shed this bigotry.

[[Virella_Douront| Virella Douront]] - After meeting her in a chance encounter at a small tavern in the hamlet surrounding the First Dicasterial Observatorium of Aetherial and Astrological Phenomena, Aronaux held a rather high and positive opinion of the astrologian, and considered her a righteous and pious woman. In the following moon, however, he would discover that Virella had been exiled from the Holy See of Ishgard for bearing the child of an Ala Mhigan highlander, and for but a moment his opinion of the woman was lowered extensively. Yet after much contemplation and a second conversation with Virella Douront and mutual friend Riven Astralyas, Aronaux has concluded that Virella's exile was unreasonably harsh for such a common offense, and he has become wary of the priest behind her banishment and the Holy Ishgardian Orthodox Church of Halone as a whole.

[[Solenne Lagarde]] - Originally wary of this foreigner's faith and intentions, Aronaux has grown to count the Gridanian among his friends after the revelations of Judiel regarding Lady Winter and Lady Autumn's former heretic smuggling ring. After discovering Solenne's past with Judiel, Aronaux has put on a friendly, welcoming front - not terribly difficult, as after the events of the Ishgardian Hostage Crisis Aronaux has grown wary of the Church's control - and promised her any aid that she might ask for. While her lack of faith in any particular god remains disturbing to him, Aronaux is willing to ignore her apostasy for the benefit of Ishgard.

<span style="font-size:smaller;">Note: This section is editable by anyone. Just keep in mind that the rumors here may be both true or false.</span>

"Lord Galendor de Farendaire was a good, holy, and just man. 'Tis a shame that he fell to the the Dravanians, twenty years ago, but his legacy lives on. Lord Aronaux and Lady Judiel, the twins, are both lovely, pious people, I assure you." - Elderly Ishgardian Servant to House Farendaire

"His father's a man to be mourned, his mother's a woman to be feared, his sister's a woman to be loved." - Ishgardian Knight of House Farendaire

"None of us have been able to solicit even a longing stare from Lord Farendaire! It's not as if he's betrothed to any particular girl..." - Airheaded Ishgardian Noblewoman

"Half the women of the Pillars are trying to bed that poor Farendaire boy. The other half are letting their brothers know about him." - Ishgardian Nobleman

"I believe the boy means well, but he is a product of the culture in which he was raised. He is of Ishgard, proudly so, and therefore he is misled on certain subjects. Unfortunately, ignorance and indoctrination can be as dangerous as malice." - [[Solenne Lagarde]]

== History ==
''
Born in the Coerthan wilderness to Lord Galendor and Lady Celinae, Aronaux and his twin sister Judiel were raised at the Ishgardian fortress and Farendaire ancestral home of Castle Farendaire until the age of four; the family of four lived quite an idyllic, peaceful life, somewhat removed from the chaos of the Dragonsong War elsewhere by fortune alone. This fortune did not last; shortly after Aronaux's fourth nameday had passed, the Dravanain Horde flooded into the valley in which Castle Farendaire stood, and utterly decimated both its stone walls and the inhabitants inside. Lady Celinae, as word arrived that her husband had fallen to the enemy, and knights still alive fled en masse, took her children and fled through an old tunnel system, arriving within a few moons to the Holy See, where House Fortemps aided the wounded Farendaires in offering a manor to them within the city.

As time passed in Ishgard, Aronaux grew to into a strong, disciplined young man particularly proficient with the bow. At the age of eighteen, after obtaining knighthood in service to House Fortemps, Aronaux was stationed at Camp Dragonhead for a year's time; that year was cut short by the fall of Dalamud, and in the chaos of the Calamity Aronaux lost many a friend, acquaintance, and ally to crazed wildlife, voidsent, and the flames of the Elder Primal Bahamut.

Lord Farendaire returned to Ishgard and dwelt there for the next five years, save for the occasional hunting party out in the Coerthan wilderness or arrival to a battle with the Dravanians. Yet it was not until the Dravanian siege led by Vishap that sorely tested Aronaux's resolve, for he found himself upon the Steps of Faith with all the Horde's might before him. This, far more than the Calamity, is the moment he remembers most clearly; he never felt as much endangered by the Dravanians' later invasion of the city, although he aimed his bow against the enemy as well that day.

Within recent moons, the unrest in Ishgard has affected House Farendaire most personally; Lady Judiel, a fervent believer in the Holy Ishgardian Orthodox Church of Halone, who oftentimes can be found deep within the Brume administering to the cold and starving, was assaulted by a pair of anti-clerical revolutionaries whilst she traveled alone. Although she was able to muster a magical ward and flee, House Farendaire has begun to prepare for a march into Coerthas - and a return to the long-abandoned Castle Farendaire, now that the Dravanian Horde has inexplicably disappeared.''

[[Virella_Douront| Virella Douront]] - After meeting her in a chance encounter at a small tavern in the hamlet surrounding the First Dicasterial Observatorium of Aetherial and Astrological Phenomena, Aronaux held a rather high and positive opinion of the astrologian, and considered her a righteous and pious woman. In the following moon, however, he would discover that Virella had been exiled from the Holy See of Ishgard for bearing the child of an Ala Mhigan highlander, and for but a moment his opinion of the woman was lowered extensively. Yet after much contemplation and a second conversation with Virella Douront and mutual friend Riven Astralyas, Aronaux has concluded that Virella's exile was unreasonably harsh for such a common offense, and he has become wary of the priest behind her banishment and the Holy Ishgardian Orthodox Church of Halone as a whole.

[[Solenne Lagarde]] - Originally wary of this foreigner's faith and intentions, Aronaux has grown to count the Gridanian among his friends after the revelations of Judiel regarding Lady Winter and Lady Autumn's former heretic smuggling ring. After discovering Solenne's past with Judiel, Aronaux has put on a friendly, welcoming front - not terribly difficult, as after the events of the Ishgardian Hostage Crisis Aronaux has grown wary of the Church's control - and promised her any aid that she might ask for. While her lack of faith in any particular god remains disturbing to him, Aronaux is willing to ignore her apostasy for the benefit of Ishgard.

"Lord Galendor de Farendaire was a good, holy, and just man. 'Tis a shame that he fell to the the Dravanians, twenty years ago, but his legacy lives on. Lord Aronaux and Lady Judiel, the twins, are both lovely, pious people, I assure you." - Elderly Ishgardian Servant to House Farendaire

"His father's a man to be mourned, his mother's a woman to be feared, his sister's a woman to be loved." - Ishgardian Knight of House Farendaire

"None of us have been able to solicit even a longing stare from Lord Farendaire! It's not as if he's betrothed to any particular girl..." - Airheaded Ishgardian Noblewoman

"Half the women of the Pillars are trying to bed that poor Farendaire boy. The other half are letting their brothers know about him." - Ishgardian Nobleman

"I believe the boy means well, but he is a product of the culture in which he was raised. He is of Ishgard, proudly so, and therefore he is misled on certain subjects. Unfortunately, ignorance and indoctrination can be as dangerous as malice." - [[Solenne Lagarde]]

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #cacfd7;font-size:14px;color:#313131;">Appearance</div>===
<div style="padding-top:10px; font-family:helvetica;">Solenne's natural lankiness is softened by gentle curves and the lithe grace of a dancer. She is of medium stature, neither standing out from a crowd nor becoming lost in it. There are few visible scars or blemishes on her creamy-fair skin, but her body is not her canvas, and it hides her secrets well. Her hair is, to some extent, a different story. Since her adolescent years, she has been dying her pale blond locks a distinctive shade of silvery blue with frosted highlights. Her eyes are also blue and usually accentuated with smudged black eyeliner and lavender-blue shadow. Her pigmented lips are typically glossed in a neutral shade of pinky-mauve so as not to compete with her favored color palette. Her face is heart-shaped, her mouth generous, her eyes keen and tilted up at the outer corners. She often appears to be smiling ever-so-slightly over some private joke, and who's to say she isn't? Like her skin, her face divulges little about her rich inner life.</div>

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #cacfd7;font-size:14px;color:#313131;">Personality</div>===
<div style="padding-top:10px; font-family:helvetica;">Solenne's manners and bearing have all the elegance and refinement that one would expect from the scion of one of Gridania's wealthiest and most respected families. She is poised, charismatic, and when the situation allows for it, vivacious. She sparkles at large social gatherings, yet seems equally content to enjoy a polite tête-à-tête with an acquaintance. But under all that good breeding is a wild, desperate yearning for freedom, adventure, and outrageous behavior. When she can escape from her duties at home and at the Conjurer's guild, she has a tendency to disappear into the wilds on mysterious exploits, emerging sometime later with a new vibrancy in her eyes, a new life in her step, and new secrets stored safely away in her pretty head.</div>

<div style="padding-top:16px; font-family:helvetica;">One of her greatest secrets is that, although she is an accomplished healer, she loves the feel of a blade in her hand. At night when Gridania sleeps, she steals out into the courtyard of her family estate to practice her knifeplay under the stars. She can move in the shadows, pick locks and pockets alike, and she knows which poisons will kill a man silently and which will make him suffer for days. She revels in her own dual nature -- a cutthroat conjurer who carries death in one hand and life in the other.</div>

<div style="padding-top:16px; font-family:helvetica;">What Solenne values most is liberty. Under the dutiful and law-abiding persona that she wears to honor her family name beats the heart of a rebel. If her own freedom or that of another is threatened, she will scheme and conspire and fight to preserve it, working tirelessly against governments, militaries, and law enforcement if necessary to achieve her ends. Moreover, she will relish every perilous moment of every daring plot she involves herself in. Although her outward appearance is that of a pretty, frivolous, wellborn lady, her core is fashioned from aether-infused steel. She is a force to be reckoned with, but she makes certain that very few ever realize it.</div>

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #cacfd7;font-size:14px;color:#313131;">Biography</div>===
<div style="padding-top:10px; font-family:helvetica;">Born into a highly esteemed family among Gridania's gentry, Solenne's life was one of privilege and duty from the very beginning. She grew up knowing that, as a Lagarde, she was in the public eye. She was expected to conform to all the mores of Gridanian polite society, and so she did, at least to all outward appearances. But even as she learned to play the part of a fine lady, she was covertly honing other, less conventional skills. Her natural hunger for intrigue, coupled with a determined desire to test the limits of her own cleverness, drove her to study the arts of lockpicking and pickpocketing. She used these abilities, not to commit thefts, but to acquire information. It was a private game that she played with herself; she would decide on a tidbit of hidden knowledge that she wished to gain on a specific subject or person, and then she would employ all her secret talents and wiles to obtain it. And on those rare occasions when she was caught, her adroit tongue and graceful charm always came to her rescue.</div>

<div style="padding-top:16px; font-family:helvetica;">While her parents didn't suspect that their well-mannered daughter had embarked on a career of espionage, they did realize that a precocious young mind like hers needed employment. Since she showed an early aptitude for conjury, they arranged for her to join the Conjurers Guild. which proved temporarily successful in diverting Solenne's attention from her less-than-legal pursuits. She loved conjury. In it, she found an endless source of knowledge that she did not have to plot and scheme to obtain. She might have been content to devote all her energies to conjury from that point on, if not for a fateful meeting with a certain Richaud Debonet.</div>

<div style="padding-top:16px; font-family:helvetica;">Solenne first encountered Richaud on a stormy night when she caught him climbing over the wall that surrounded her family's estate. The boy seemed intent on robbing her home, so she informed him that she would not allow it. For his part, he seemed quite perplexed by this girl who had chosen such a strange time for a garden stroll. The two young Elezen struck up an unlikely friendship, and it was not long before Solenne was confessing her own interest in breaking and entering, and Richaud was promising to teach her a bit of knife play to complement her other unusual talents.</div>

<div style="padding-top:16px; font-family:helvetica;">Solenne's lessons commenced almost immediately, and over time she and Richaud grew close enough that the boy was willing to trust her with his most dangerous secrets. She learned that his real name was Richaud Monsoulois, and that he and his mother had recently settled in Gridania after fleeing from Ishgard. His father, a falsely accused heretic, had not been so fortunate. Richaud's dream was to return to Coerthas one day and rescue as many innocents as he could from the clutches of the Inquisition. As time went on, that became Solenne's dream, too.</div>

<div style="padding-top:16px; font-family:helvetica;">Their dream became a reality when they reached adulthood. Together they formed a secret society of spies, mercenaries, adventurers, and financial backers, all of whom were dedicated to the cause of liberating Ishgardian prisoners and assisting Ishgardian refugees. They operated in Coerthas for a number of years, hatching one daring scheme after another and saving as many lives as they could. Their exploits are, naturally, shrouded in mystery. None but those involved ever knew the names of the conspirators or the different roles they played in each dangerous rescue attempt.</div>

<div style="padding-top:16px; font-family:helvetica;">There are whispers that a certain Elezen woman -- known only by the alias "Lady Winter," and by the myriad masks she donned like the consummate actress she was -- participated in several plots that breached the gates of Ishgard itself. Her impersonations of various Ishgardian noblewomen gained her entrance to that impregnable city not once, but on multiple occasions, and she never left empty handed. But that woman's identity remains unknown but to a few. Solenne keeps her own counsel on that subject, as on so many others.</div>

<div style="padding-top:16px; font-family:helvetica;">Two years ago, Solenne's mother died suddenly. Her father was nearly incapacitated by grief, and Solenne felt it necessary to turn her attention homeward. She retired from her life of danger and intrigue, meaning to return to it as soon as her father had recovered. But in her absence, disaster struck the little society of liberators. Richaud was captured during a mission and summarily executed. Without his leadership, the group disbanded. It was the end of an era, and Solenne grieved as much for the loss of Richaud's dream as for Richaud himself.</div>

<div style="padding-top:16px; font-family:helvetica;">Since that time, Solenne has had no close affiliations with any organization other than the Conjurers Guild, but that doesn't mean she hasn't found ways to make use of her unorthodox skillset. Behind those vivid blue eyes, her agile mind is never still. There is always another adventure on the horizon for Solenne.</div>

: <font style="color:#788192;" size="3">■</font> "She's pretty, but too frivolous for my taste. She smiles and dances and flirts too freely. I've never seen her serious about a man before. I'm not sure she has a heart to lose."
: <font style="color:#788192;" size="3">■</font> "Solenne is well respected at the Conjurer's Guild. She's still young yet, but she shows a lot of promise as a healer."

<b><div style="padding:10px 25px; background: #788192; color:#ffffff">◢ Uncommon Rumors</div></b>
: <font style="color:#788192;" size="3">■</font> "Solenne used to be best friends with a poor boy -- Debonet was his name, I think. They made for an odd couple, with her finery and his rags. Haven't seen Debonet around for a while, though. Maybe they had a falling out."
: <font style="color:#788192;" size="3">■</font> "She might seem a trifle shallow at times, but make no mistake, Solenne Lagarde has hidden depths. When the Calamity struck, she volunteered to go into the worst-affected areas of the Twelveswood to aid survivors. If nothing else, that girl is brave."
: <font style="color:#788192;" size="3">■</font> "Bit of a thrill-seeker, that one. You wouldn't think it to look at her, but when you tell her a thing is dangerous, her eyes shine like she's just made up her mind to do it. You'd think a conjurer's life would be exciting enough, but I don't think it is -- not for her."

: <font style="color:#788192;" size="3">■</font> "Some people say that Lady Winter is just a myth, but I've seen her with my own eyes. True, she looked the spitting image of Lady Honorienne Justinaux at the time, but it was really Winter in disguise. I don't know who she is or where she came from, but I know I'd have gone off Witchdrop for sure if she hadn't smuggled me out of Ishgard. There's at least a dozen of us who owe our lives to her."

: <font style="color:#788192;" size="3">■</font> "Lady Solenne de Lagarde? A pleasant Gridanian noblewoman, by all means, yet it seems I unintentionally drew her ire. How so, you might ask?

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #aeb1be;font-size:14px;color:#313131;">Appearance</div>===
<div style="padding-top:10px; font-family:helvetica;">Solenne's natural lankiness is softened by gentle curves and the lithe grace of a dancer. She is of medium stature, neither standing out from a crowd nor becoming lost in it. There are few visible scars or blemishes on her creamy-fair skin, but her body is not her canvas, and it hides her secrets well. Her hair is, to some extent, a different story. Since her adolescent years, she has been dying her pale blond locks a distinctive shade of silvery blue with frosted highlights. Her eyes are also blue and usually accentuated with smudged black eyeliner and lavender-blue shadow. Her pigmented lips are typically glossed in a neutral shade of pinky-mauve so as not to compete with her favored color palette. Her face is heart-shaped, her mouth generous, her eyes keen and tilted up at the outer corners. She often appears to be smiling ever-so-slightly over some private joke, and who's to say she isn't? Like her skin, her face divulges little about her rich inner life.</div>

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #aeb1be;font-size:14px;color:#313131;">Personality</div>===
<div style="padding-top:10px; font-family:helvetica;">Solenne's manners and bearing have all the elegance and refinement that one would expect from the scion of one of Gridania's wealthiest and most respected families. She is poised, charismatic, and when the situation allows for it, vivacious. She sparkles at large social gatherings, yet seems equally content to enjoy a polite tête-à-tête with an acquaintance. But under all that good breeding is a wild, desperate yearning for freedom, adventure, and outrageous behavior. When she can escape from her duties at home and at the Conjurer's guild, she has a tendency to disappear into the wilds on mysterious exploits, emerging sometime later with a new vibrancy in her eyes, a new life in her step, and new secrets stored safely away in her pretty head.</div>

<div style="padding-top:16px; font-family:helvetica;">One of her greatest secrets is that, although she is an accomplished healer, she loves the feel of a blade in her hand. At night when Gridania sleeps, she steals out into the courtyard of her family estate to practice her knifeplay under the stars. She can move in the shadows, pick locks and pockets alike, and she knows which poisons will kill a man silently and which will make him suffer for days. She revels in her own dual nature -- a cutthroat conjurer who carries death in one hand and life in the other.</div>

<div style="padding-top:16px; font-family:helvetica;">What Solenne values most is liberty. Under the dutiful and law-abiding persona that she wears to honor her family name beats the heart of a rebel. If her own freedom or that of another is threatened, she will scheme and conspire and fight to preserve it, working tirelessly against governments, militaries, and law enforcement if necessary to achieve her ends. Moreover, she will relish every perilous moment of every daring plot she involves herself in. Although her outward appearance is that of a pretty, frivolous, wellborn lady, her core is fashioned from aether-infused steel. She is a force to be reckoned with, but she makes certain that very few ever realize it.</div>

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #aeb1be;font-size:14px;color:#313131;">Biography</div>===
<div style="padding-top:10px; font-family:helvetica;">Born into a highly esteemed family among Gridania's gentry, Solenne's life was one of privilege and duty from the very beginning. She grew up knowing that, as a Lagarde, she was in the public eye. She was expected to conform to all the mores of Gridanian polite society, and so she did, at least to all outward appearances. But even as she learned to play the part of a fine lady, she was covertly honing other, less conventional skills. Her natural hunger for intrigue, coupled with a determined desire to test the limits of her own cleverness, drove her to study the arts of lockpicking and pickpocketing. She used these abilities, not to commit thefts, but to acquire information. It was a private game that she played with herself; she would decide on a tidbit of hidden knowledge that she wished to gain on a specific subject or person, and then she would employ all her secret talents and wiles to obtain it. And on those rare occasions when she was caught, her adroit tongue and graceful charm always came to her rescue.</div>

<div style="padding-top:16px; font-family:helvetica;">While her parents didn't suspect that their well-mannered daughter had embarked on a career of espionage, they did realize that a precocious young mind like hers needed employment. Since she showed an early aptitude for conjury, they arranged for her to join the Conjurers Guild. which proved temporarily successful in diverting Solenne's attention from her less-than-legal pursuits. She loved conjury. In it, she found an endless source of knowledge that she did not have to plot and scheme to obtain. She might have been content to devote all her energies to conjury from that point on, if not for a fateful meeting with a certain Richaud Debonet.</div>

<div style="padding-top:16px; font-family:helvetica;">Solenne first encountered Richaud on a stormy night when she caught him climbing over the wall that surrounded her family's estate. The boy seemed intent on robbing her home, so she informed him that she would not allow it. For his part, he seemed quite perplexed by this girl who had chosen such a strange time for a garden stroll. The two young Elezen struck up an unlikely friendship, and it was not long before Solenne was confessing her own interest in breaking and entering, and Richaud was promising to teach her a bit of knife play to complement her other unusual talents.</div>

<div style="padding-top:16px; font-family:helvetica;">Solenne's lessons commenced almost immediately, and over time she and Richaud grew close enough that the boy was willing to trust her with his most dangerous secrets. She learned that his real name was Richaud Monsoulois, and that he and his mother had recently settled in Gridania after fleeing from Ishgard. His father, a falsely accused heretic, had not been so fortunate. Richaud's dream was to return to Coerthas one day and rescue as many innocents as he could from the clutches of the Inquisition. As time went on, that became Solenne's dream, too.</div>

<div style="padding-top:16px; font-family:helvetica;">Their dream became a reality when they reached adulthood. Together they formed a secret society of spies, mercenaries, adventurers, and financial backers, all of whom were dedicated to the cause of liberating Ishgardian prisoners and assisting Ishgardian refugees. They operated in Coerthas for a number of years, hatching one daring scheme after another and saving as many lives as they could. Their exploits are, naturally, shrouded in mystery. None but those involved ever knew the names of the conspirators or the different roles they played in each dangerous rescue attempt.</div>

<div style="padding-top:16px; font-family:helvetica;">There are whispers that a certain Elezen woman -- known only by the alias "Lady Winter," and by the myriad masks she donned like the consummate actress she was -- participated in several plots that breached the gates of Ishgard itself. Her impersonations of various Ishgardian noblewomen gained her entrance to that impregnable city not once, but on multiple occasions, and she never left empty handed. But that woman's identity remains unknown but to a few. Solenne keeps her own counsel on that subject, as on so many others.</div>

<div style="padding-top:16px; font-family:helvetica;">Two years ago, Solenne's mother died suddenly. Her father was nearly incapacitated by grief, and Solenne felt it necessary to turn her attention homeward. She retired from her life of danger and intrigue, meaning to return to it as soon as her father had recovered. But in her absence, disaster struck the little society of liberators. Richaud was captured during a mission and summarily executed. Without his leadership, the group disbanded. It was the end of an era, and Solenne grieved as much for the loss of Richaud's dream as for Richaud himself.</div>

<div style="padding-top:16px; font-family:helvetica;">Since that time, Solenne has had no close affiliations with any organization other than the Conjurers Guild, but that doesn't mean she hasn't found ways to make use of her unorthodox skillset. Behind those vivid blue eyes, her agile mind is never still. There is always another adventure on the horizon for Solenne.</div>

: <font style="color:#252e55;" size="3">■</font> "Solenne? Ah yes, that's Gautier Lagarde's daughter, and a very fine young lady. I heard she's been taking care of her father's business affairs ever since he lost his wife. I suppose that's why she spends so much time abroad."
: <font style="color:#252e55;" size="3">■</font> "She's pretty, but too frivolous for my taste. She smiles and dances and flirts too freely. I've never seen her serious about a man before. I'm not sure she has a heart to lose."
: <font style="color:#252e55;" size="3">■</font> "Solenne is well respected at the Conjurer's Guild. She's still young yet, but she shows a lot of promise as a healer."

: <font style="color:#252e55;" size="3">■</font> "Solenne used to be best friends with a poor boy -- Debonet was his name, I think. They made for an odd couple, with her finery and his rags. Haven't seen Debonet around for a while, though. Maybe they had a falling out."
: <font style="color:#252e55;" size="3">■</font> "She might seem a trifle shallow at times, but make no mistake, Solenne Lagarde has hidden depths. When the Calamity struck, she volunteered to go into the worst-affected areas of the Twelveswood to aid survivors. If nothing else, that girl is brave."
: <font style="color:#252e55;" size="3">■</font> "Bit of a thrill-seeker, that one. You wouldn't think it to look at her, but when you tell her a thing is dangerous, her eyes shine like she's just made up her mind to do it. You'd think a conjurer's life would be exciting enough, but I don't think it is -- not for her."

True, she looked the spitting image of Lady Honorienne Justinaux at the time, but it was really Winter in disguise. I don't know who she is or where she came from, but I know I'd have gone off Witchdrop for sure if she hadn't smuggled me out of Ishgard. There's at least a dozen of us who owe our lives to her."

<div style="padding-top:16px; font-family:helvetica;">Since that time, Solenne has had no close affiliations with any organization other than the Conjurers Guild, but that doesn't mean she hasn't found ways to make use of her unorthodox skillset. Behind those vivid blue eyes, her agile mind is never still. There is always another adventure on the horizon for Solenne.</div>

: <font style="color:#252e55;" size="3">■</font> "Solenne? Ah yes, that's Gautier Lagarde's daughter, and a very fine young lady. I heard she's been taking care of her father's business affairs ever since he lost his wife. I suppose that's why she spends so much time abroad."
: <font style="color:#252e55;" size="3">■</font> "She's pretty, but too frivolous for my taste. She smiles and dances and flirts too freely. I've never seen her serious about a man before. I'm not sure she has a heart to lose."
: <font style="color:#252e55;" size="3">■</font> "Solenne is well respected at the Conjurer's Guild. She's still young yet, but she shows a lot of promise as a healer."

<b><div style="padding:10px 25px; background: #252e55; color:#e2e3ea">◢ Uncommon Rumors</div></b>
: <font style="color:#252e55;" size="3">■</font> "Solenne used to be best friends with a poor boy -- Debonet was his name, I think. They made for an odd couple, with her finery and his rags. Haven't seen Debonet around for a while, though. Maybe they had a falling out."
: <font style="color:#252e55;" size="3">■</font> "She might seem a trifle shallow at times, but make no mistake, Solenne Lagarde has hidden depths. When the Calamity struck, she volunteered to go into the worst-affected areas of the Twelveswood to aid survivors. If nothing else, that girl is brave."
: <font style="color:#252e55;" size="3">■</font> "Bit of a thrill-seeker, that one. You wouldn't think it to look at her, but when you tell her a thing is dangerous, her eyes shine like she's just made up her mind to do it. You'd think a conjurer's life would be exciting enough, but I don't think it is -- not for her."

: <font style="color:#252e55;" size="3">■</font> "Some people say that Lady Winter is just a myth, but I've seen her with my own eyes. True, she looked the spitting image of Lady Honorienne Justinaux at the time, but it was really Winter in disguise. I don't know who she is or where she came from, but I know I'd have gone off Witchdrop for sure if she hadn't smuggled me out of Ishgard. There's at least a dozen of us who owe our lives to her."

: <font style="color:#252e55;" size="3">■</font> "Lady Solenne de Lagarde? A pleasant Gridanian noblewoman, by all means, yet it seems I unintentionally drew her ire. How so, you might ask? I am left only to wonder; I spoke no ill of Gridania, and I've no desire to make an advance on a woman." - [[Aronaux Farendaire]]
