She has gained renown- or rather infamy- in some circles for her short temper and tendency to lash out at those who cross her.<br /> ==Biography==<br /> ===Early Life &amp; Childhood===<br /> Astria Stanier was born in the city of Ishgard to Godric and Cordelia Stanier. Her mother, Cordelia, was a talented seamstress and her father, Godric, was a soldier-turned-bounty-hunter known for his skill at arms. The family was quite wealthy as a result of the combined fortunes of their ancestors, most of whom were craftsmen or merchants. When Astria was 2 years of age, her parents adopted her cousin, Elisa, after her parents passed away. The children were nearly inseparable throughout childhood, though they were frequently at odds. The children gained a reputation with those who knew them for being troublemakers, often gaining their entertainment at the expense of others. What time Astria didn't spend with Elisa was spent with her father, from whom she received the majority of her martial training. Her father insisted she master archery, but she quickly gave up the bow, forcing her father to acquiesce to her demands to learn lancing instead.<br /> ===Adolescence===<br /> Around the age of 12, Astria and Elisa started becoming more aware of what the world had to offer. They both developed a passion for reading and learning new things, though most often different subjects. Where Elisa was more interested in subjects like alchemy, Astria developed a particular interest in history. Since the family was wealthy, their love of books was no issue. Astria soon found a friend in Cathryn Blacke, the daughter of a much poorer family on hard times. After introducing Cathryn to Elisa, the trio became extremely close, and convinced Godric and Cordelia to hire Cathryn as a maidservant. <br /> ===Adulthood and Present===<br /> As time went on, Cordelia's health began deteriorating. Astria began spending more time with her mother, knowing the inevitable end was near. She was often joined by Elisa and Cathryn. By this time, Cathryn had become, for the most part, a member of the family, and had been given her own quarters within the family's home. After a few months, Cordelia finally passed away, and Godric who was elderly for a man of his occupation joined her a few months later. Astria was not overly saddened by this, though, as she had come to terms with the fact that her mother and father would eventually pass away. Elisa, on the other hand, was devastated by the loss, and much of Astria's time in the coming days was dedicated to comforting her. After the fog of mourning was finally lifted from the household, Astria returned to what she enjoyed; reading, and practicing lancing. However, she and Elisa soon discovered a love for traveling and decided to take a trip to Limsa Lominsa. It was on this trip that Astria discovered a new hobby: Solving people's problems for money. Though she never became a full-time mercenary, she enjoyed the work well enough. She and Elisa continued taking trips to different locales in Eorzea, mostly in the Black Shroud which they had decided was their favorite place to visit. Eventually, the traveling became more seldom, but still retained its charm. The duo did not travel together as often, but would buy various gifts to compensate. Eventually, on one of her solo trips to Ul'Dah, Astria met an Auri man named Jenkshi Kagon, who would become her next employer. The man was the operator of a courier service known as the Veiled Ravens. The couriers were interesting enough, though a only select few stood out to Astria. The courier service, however, did not last long for Astria, as deliveries became fewer and farther between and more dangerous than she liked. The couriers ended up going their separate ways, and Astria and Elisa returned to their normal lives.<br /> <br /> ==Traits and Characteristics==<br /> ===Personality===<br /> Astria, though a seemingly calm individual, is known to those around her for her short temper and occasional outbursts. She is easily annoyed, and tends to avoid interaction with those who have annoyed her in the past. In social situations, she does her best to maintain a polite facade, more often than not waiting until after the conversation to remind people of their idiocy. Astria is not the type to make friends easily, and is often known to display a lack of interest in conversations with many people. Many have noted her reticence and almost puritanical outlook, as she often refuses to divulge information about her personal life, and is openly condemning of lewd behavior. When she does engage in conversation, however, she is sometimes unenthusiastic, and on occasion rude, but, although rare, she has her moments of kindness. Not hesitant to express her displeasure with any given situation, she complains often, and will do so until she can find nothing more to complain about. For the most part, however, she enjoys speaking to those she deems worthy, especially if she is talking about herself or Ishgard. As a result of being well-read, Astria considers herself to be fairly intelligent, often believing herself to be more intelligent than others. She rarely hesitates to correct the mistakes of others, no matter how minor.<br /> <br /> ===Physical Traits===<br /> Astria is roughly 5 fulms and 6 ilms tall and is fairly average in size. Being very conscious of her appearance, she takes great care to look presentable at all times, never letting others see her when she believes she is not. Her love of the colors white and purple are more than apparent in her wardrobe, as she is usually seen, in public at least, wearing her characteristic white armor or, on some occasions, a currant purple dress. She keeps her sapphire hair pulled back in a neat ponytail, on occasion stating she hates the way it looks when she leaves it down.<br /> <br /> ===Likes and Dislikes===<br /> ====Likes====<br /> This Hyur is a woman of simple pleasures with simple desires. She enjoys tea, books, traveling and buying nice things for herself. She also enjoys fighting, often visiting the Lancers' Guild to spar while on trips to Gridania. One of her greatest loves, however, is her home. Being very nationalistic, Astria considers Ishgard to be nearly without flaw and often praises it whenever the chance arises.<br /> <br /> ====Dislikes====<br /> For everything Astria likes, she seems to dislike 70 others. Almost anywhere she goes, she can, and will, find a complaint about it. In Thanalan it's too hot and the sand annoys her, in La Noscea it always smells of salt and it's too humid, and in the Black Shroud, though it's her favorite place to visit, she complains about insects and the scent of the forest. She also has a particular disdain for bards, minstrels and clowns, though nobody is entirely sure why. Possibly her most vehement dislike is alcohol of any kind, which she will zealously refuse to drink regardless of the situation, but she never explains why she despises it as much as she does. Astria also expresses open dislike for flirting and romance in general, but again does not specify why.</div>

She is often seen buying random gifts, counting things that don't require counting and reading.<br /> ==Biography==<br /> ===Early Life &amp; Childhood===<br /> Elisa Stanier was born in Ishgard, and adopted at the age of 2 by her aunt and uncle, seamstress Cordelia Stanier and bounty hunter Godric Stanier, following the deaths of her parents. Throughout childhood, Elisa and Astria were extremely close, though they argued frequently. The family was fairly wealthy, and the children were often given anything they requested. The girls developed a talent- and a reputation- for terrorizing the neighborhood with their antics. The schemes were more often masterminded by Elisa, who was the more strategically minded of the two. When Elisa wasn't with Astria, she was spending time with her aunt, learning to sew, which she quickly became skilled at.<br /> ===Adolescence===<br /> Around the age of 12, Astria and Elisa started becoming more aware of what the world had to offer. They both developed a passion for reading and learning new things, though most often different subjects. Where Elisa was more interested in subjects like alchemy, Astria developed a particular interest in history. Since the family was wealthy, their love of books was no issue.

Elisa and Cathryn, more often than not, spent their days with Astria who insisted on attending to her mother nearly constantly. It was during this time that she began to become curious about the nature of Astria and Cathryn's relationship, though she dared not inquire, and so the curiosity soon faded. After a few months, Cordelia passed away, and a few months later, Godric followed. The loss devastated Elisa, and in the coming days she required almost constant consolation. During this time, Elisa began devoutly studying alchemy as a distraction, eventually becoming very knowledgeable in its practice. After some time, Astria and Elisa found a love for traveling, and began traveling around Eorzea, though it eventually became more seldom. During one trip, or more accurately, an attempt to figure out more about the group Astria was working with, she met the benefactor of the group, an Elezen named Auvix Trisault, who would end up employing her as an accountant of sorts. This vocation did not last long, however, and she and Astria returned to their normal lives for a time.<br /> ==Traits and Characteristics==<br /> ===Personality===<br /> Elisa, unlike her sister, is a difficult person to annoy and is much more cool-headed. However, when she does become annoyed or angry, she is known to lash out at people verbally. She is only somewhat social, usually preferring a book and a cup of tea to a conversation, however when engaged in a conversation she is often very enthusiastic. She enjoys taunting and tormenting others, usually going out of her way to do it when the desire to do so hits her. She is relatively easy to befriend, though she occasionally forgets her interactions with some people, as she has a tendency to be a bit absent-minded from time to time. Being relatively weak physically, she considers her intelligence to be her greatest strength, and does not hesitate to flaunt it, especially when it comes to alchemy or arithmetic. She often feels the need to prove her own knowledge to others, either by demonstration or by patronizing people she considers less intelligent than herself. Being tolerant of many things, Elisa does not complain very often, but when she does, her complaints are fairly minor. Despite her antisocial tendencies, she deeply enjoy helping others as well, though whether any given person will receive assistance or torment is entirely up to chance.<br /> <br /> ===Physical Traits===<br /> Elisa is smaller in frame, and is about 5 fulms, 6 ilms in height. She strives to keep her platinum white hair neat and as pretty as possible, considering it her most attractive feature. She usually wears a dress, but can be seen wearing a variety of outfits depending on the time and place. <br /> ===Likes and Dislikes===<br /> ====Likes====<br /> Elisa is, and has always been, a woman of intellectual interests. She enjoys reading and learning, but also teaching in some instances. She enjoys the occasional conversation, but in many cases would prefer to leave the conversation to others while she does other things. Elisa also gains much pleasure from giving gifts to others and goes out of her way to purchase gifts, sometimes placing extensive orders and spending large amounts for a single person.<br /> <br /> ====Dislikes====<br /> Elisa is not one to state her displeasure regularly, but she has been known to complain about heat in different regions, preferring instead the much cooler climates of the highlands of Coerthas. Elisa has a particular dislike of flirting, especially when it's directed towards her, and will often ignore it.</div>

She has gained renown- or rather infamy- in some circles for her short temper and tendency to lash out at those who cross her.<br /> ==Biography==<br /> ===Early Life &amp; Childhood===<br /> Astria Stanier was born in the city of Ishgard to Godric and Cordelia Stanier. Her mother, Cordelia, was a talented seamstress and her father, Godric, was a soldier-turned-bounty-hunter known for his skill at arms. The family was quite wealthy as a result of the combined fortunes of their ancestors, most of whom were craftsmen or merchants. When Astria was 2 years of age, her parents adopted her cousin, Elisa, after her parents passed away. The children were nearly inseparable throughout childhood, though they were frequently at odds. The children gained a reputation with those who knew them for being troublemakers, often gaining their entertainment at the expense of others. What time Astria didn't spend with Elisa was spent with her father, from whom she received the majority of her martial training. Her father insisted she master archery, but she quickly gave up the bow, forcing her father to acquiesce to her demands to learn lancing instead.<br /> ===Adolescence===<br /> Around the age of 12, Astria and Elisa started becoming more aware of what the world had to offer. They both developed a passion for reading and learning new things, though most often different subjects. Where Elisa was more interested in subjects like alchemy, Astria developed a particular interest in history. Since the family was wealthy, their love of books was no issue. Astria soon found a friend in Cathryn Blacke, the daughter of a much poorer family on hard times. After introducing Cathryn to Elisa, the trio became extremely close, and convinced Godric and Cordelia to hire Cathryn as a maidservant. <br /> ===Adulthood and Present===<br /> As time went on, Cordelia's health began deteriorating. Astria began spending more time with her mother, knowing the inevitable end was near. She was often joined by Elisa and Cathryn. By this time, Cathryn had become, for the most part, a member of the family, and had been given her own quarters within the family's home. After a few months, Cordelia finally passed away, and Godric who was elderly for a man of his occupation joined her a few months later. Astria was not overly saddened by this, though, as she had come to terms with the fact that her mother and father would eventually pass away. Elisa, on the other hand, was devastated by the loss, and much of Astria's time in the coming days was dedicated to comforting her. After the fog of mourning was finally lifted from the household, Astria returned to what she enjoyed; reading, and practicing lancing. However, she and Elisa soon discovered a love for traveling and decided to take a trip to Limsa Lominsa. It was on this trip that Astria discovered a new hobby: Solving people's problems for money. Though she never became a full-time mercenary, she enjoyed the work well enough. She and Elisa continued taking trips to different locales in Eorzea, mostly in the Black Shroud which they had decided was their favorite place to visit. Eventually, the traveling became more seldom, but still retained its charm. The duo did not travel together as often, but would buy various gifts to compensate. Eventually, on one of her solo trips to Ul'Dah, Astria met an Auri man named Jenkshi Kagon, who would become her next employer. The man was the operator of a courier service known as the Veiled Ravens. The couriers were interesting enough, though a only select few stood out to Astria. The courier service, however, did not last long for Astria, as deliveries became fewer and farther between and more dangerous than she liked.

Astria considered Arismont the more level-headed of the pair, though she liked both equally.<br /> <br /> ==Traits and Characteristics==<br /> ===Personality===<br /> Astria, though a seemingly calm individual, is known to those around her for her short temper and occasional outbursts. She is easily annoyed, and tends to avoid interaction with those who have annoyed her in the past. In social situations, she does her best to maintain a polite facade, more often than not waiting until after the conversation to remind people of their idiocy. Astria is not the type to make friends easily, and is often known to display a lack of interest in conversations with many people. Many have noted her reticence and almost puritanical outlook, as she often refuses to divulge information about her personal life, and is openly condemning of lewd behavior. When she does engage in conversation, however, she is sometimes unenthusiastic, and on occasion rude, but, although rare, she has her moments of kindness. Not hesitant to express her displeasure with any given situation, she complains often, and will do so until she can find nothing more to complain about. For the most part, however, she enjoys speaking to those she deems worthy, especially if she is talking about herself or Ishgard. As a result of being well-read, Astria considers herself to be fairly intelligent, often believing herself to be more intelligent than others. She rarely hesitates to correct the mistakes of others, no matter how minor.<br /> <br /> ===Physical Traits===<br /> Astria is roughly 5 fulms and 6 ilms tall and is fairly average in size. Being very conscious of her appearance, she takes great care to look presentable at all times, never letting others see her when she believes she is not. Her love of the colors white and purple are more than apparent in her wardrobe, as she is usually seen, in public at least, wearing her characteristic white armor or, on some occasions, a currant purple dress. She keeps her sapphire hair pulled back in a neat ponytail, on occasion stating she hates the way it looks when she leaves it down.<br /> <br /> ===Likes and Dislikes===<br /> ====Likes====<br /> This Hyur is a woman of simple pleasures with simple desires. She enjoys tea, books, traveling and buying nice things for herself. She also enjoys fighting, often visiting the Lancers' Guild to spar while on trips to Gridania. One of her greatest loves, however, is her home. Being very nationalistic, Astria considers Ishgard to be nearly without flaw and often praises it whenever the chance arises.<br /> <br /> ====Dislikes====<br /> For everything Astria likes, she seems to dislike 70 others. Almost anywhere she goes, she can, and will, find a complaint about it. In Thanalan it's too hot and the sand annoys her, in La Noscea it always smells of salt and it's too humid, and in the Black Shroud, though it's her favorite place to visit, she complains about insects and the scent of the forest. She also has a particular disdain for bards, minstrels and clowns, though nobody is entirely sure why. Possibly her most vehement dislike is alcohol of any kind, which she will zealously refuse to drink regardless of the situation, but she never explains why she despises it as much as she does. Astria also expresses open dislike for flirting and romance in general, but again does not specify why.</div>

She is often seen buying random gifts, counting things that don't require counting and reading.<br /> ==Biography==<br /> ===Early Life &amp; Childhood===<br /> Elisa Stanier was born in Ishgard, and adopted at the age of 2 by her aunt and uncle, seamstress Cordelia Stanier and bounty hunter Godric Stanier, following the deaths of her parents. Throughout childhood, Elisa and Astria were extremely close, though they argued frequently. The family was fairly wealthy, and the children were often given anything they requested. The girls developed a talent- and a reputation- for terrorizing the neighborhood with their antics. The schemes were more often masterminded by Elisa, who was the more strategically minded of the two. When Elisa wasn't with Astria, she was spending time with her aunt, learning to sew, which she quickly became skilled at.<br /> ===Adolescence===<br /> Around the age of 12, Astria and Elisa started becoming more aware of what the world had to offer. They both developed a passion for reading and learning new things, though most often different subjects. Where Elisa was more interested in subjects like alchemy, Astria developed a particular interest in history. Since the family was wealthy, their love of books was no issue. Around this time, Astria introduced Elisa to Cathryn Blacke, a much poorer girl who would go on to become a very good friend of the duo, though Cathryn was always closer with Astria than with Elisa. After much pleading on the part of Elisa and Astria, Cordelia and Godric finally agreed to hire Cathryn as a maidservant.<br /> ===Adulthood and Present===<br /> A few years later, Cordelia's health began deteriorating. Elisa and Cathryn, more often than not, spent their days with Astria who insisted on attending to her mother nearly constantly. It was during this time that she began to become curious about the nature of Astria and Cathryn's relationship, though she dared not inquire, and so the curiosity soon faded. After a few months, Cordelia passed away, and a few months later, Godric followed. The loss devastated Elisa, and in the coming days she required almost constant consolation. During this time, Elisa began devoutly studying alchemy as a distraction, eventually becoming very knowledgeable in its practice. After some time, Astria and Elisa found a love for traveling, and began traveling around Eorzea, though it eventually became more seldom. During one trip, or more accurately, an attempt to figure out more about the group Astria was working with, she met the benefactor of the group, an Elezen named Auvix Trisault, who would end up employing her as an accountant of sorts. This vocation did not last long, however, and she and Astria returned to their normal lives for a time.<br /> ===Relationship With the Vilauclaires===<br /> Elisa's association with the Vilauclaire family began early in life, as the two families had been in business together many years ago, and maintained friendly relations with each other. Elisa and Astria never interacted with the older members of the Vilauclaire family beyond formalities, but they maintained a friendship with the children, Adrienne and Arismont. The friendship was not the closest, but the two families were anything but distant. Elisa always preferred Adrienne to Arismont, considering her to be the more intelligent of the pair, though she was equally friendly to both of them and included them in many of her antics.<br /> <br /> ==Traits and Characteristics==<br /> ===Personality===<br /> Elisa, unlike her sister, is a difficult person to annoy and is much more cool-headed. However, when she does become annoyed or angry, she is known to lash out at people verbally. She is only somewhat social, usually preferring a book and a cup of tea to a conversation, however when engaged in a conversation she is often very enthusiastic. She enjoys taunting and tormenting others, usually going out of her way to do it when the desire to do so hits her. She is relatively easy to befriend, though she occasionally forgets her interactions with some people, as she has a tendency to be a bit absent-minded from time to time. Being relatively weak physically, she considers her intelligence to be her greatest strength, and does not hesitate to flaunt it, especially when it comes to alchemy or arithmetic. She often feels the need to prove her own knowledge to others, either by demonstration or by patronizing people she considers less intelligent than herself. Being tolerant of many things, Elisa does not complain very often, but when she does, her complaints are fairly minor. Despite her antisocial tendencies, she deeply enjoy helping others as well, though whether any given person will receive assistance or torment is entirely up to chance.<br /> <br /> ===Physical Traits===<br /> Elisa is smaller in frame, and is about 5 fulms, 6 ilms in height. She strives to keep her platinum white hair neat and as pretty as possible, considering it her most attractive feature. She usually wears a dress, but can be seen wearing a variety of outfit depending on the time and place. <br /> ===Likes and Dislikes===<br /> ====Likes====<br /> Elisa is, and has always been, a woman of intellectual interests. She enjoys reading and learning, but also teaching in some instances. She enjoys the occasional conversation, but in many cases would prefer to leave the conversation to others while she does other things. One of her greatest pleasures is helping those in need, and as such she can often be seen assisting the poor in Ishgard. Elisa also gains much pleasure from giving gifts to others and goes out of her way to purchase gifts, sometimes placing extensive orders and spending large amounts for a single person.<br /> ====Dislikes====<br /> Elisa is not one to state her displeasure regularly, but she has been known to complain about heat in different regions, preferring instead the much cooler climates of the highlands of Coerthas. Elisa has a particular dislike of flirting, especially when it's directed towards her, and will often ignore it.</div>

She has gained renown- or rather infamy- in some circles for her short temper and tendency to lash out at those who cross her.<br /> ==Biography==<br /> ===Early Life &amp; Childhood===<br /> Astria Stanier was born in the city of Ishgard to Godric and Cordelia Stanier. Her mother, Cordelia, was a talented seamstress and her father, Godric, was a soldier-turned-bounty-hunter known for his skill at arms. The family was quite wealthy as a result of the combined fortunes of their ancestors, most of whom were craftsmen or merchants. When Astria was 2 years of age, her parents adopted her cousin, Elisa, after her parents passed away. The children were nearly inseparable throughout childhood, though they were almost always at odds. The children gained a reputation with those who knew them for being troublemakers, often gaining their entertainment at the expense of others. What time Astria didn't spend with Elisa was spent with her father, from whom she received the majority of her martial training. Her father insisted she master archery, but she quickly gave up the bow, forcing her father to acquiesce to her demands to learn lancing instead.<br /> ===Adolescence===<br /> Around the age of 12, Astria and Elisa started becoming more aware of what the world had to offer. They both developed a passion for reading and learning new things, though most often different subjects. Where Elisa was more interested in subjects like alchemy, Astria developed a particular interest in history. Since the family was wealthy, their love of books was no issue. Astria soon found a friend in Cathryn Blacke, the daughter of a much poorer family on hard times. After introducing Cathryn to Elisa, the trio became extremely close, and convinced Godric and Cordelia to hire Cathryn as a maidservant. <br /> ===Adulthood and Present===<br /> As time went on, Cordelia's health began deteriorating. Astria began spending more time with her mother, knowing the inevitable end was near. She was often joined by Elisa and Cathryn. By this time, Cathryn had become, for the most part, a member of the family, and had been given her own quarters within the family's home. After a few months, Cordelia finally passed away, and Godric who was elderly for a man of his occupation joined her a few months later. Astria was not overly saddened by this, though, as she had come to terms with the fact that her mother and father would eventually pass away. Elisa, on the other hand, was devastated by the loss, and much of Astria's time in the coming days was dedicated to comforting her. After the fog of mourning was finally lifted from the household, Astria returned to what she enjoyed; reading, and practicing lancing. However, she and Elisa soon discovered a love for traveling and decided to take a trip to Limsa Lominsa. It was on this trip that Astria discovered a new hobby: Solving people's problems for money. Though she never became a full-time mercenary, she enjoyed the work well enough. She and Elisa continued taking trips to different locales in Eorzea, mostly in the Black Shroud which they had decided was their favorite place to visit. Eventually, the traveling became more seldom, but still retained its charm. The duo did not travel together as often, but would buy various gifts to compensate. Eventually, on one of her solo trips to Ul'Dah, Astria met an Auri man named Jenkshi Kagon, who would become her next employer. The man was the operator of a courier service known as the Veiled Ravens. The couriers were interesting enough, though a only select few stood out to Astria. The courier service, however, did not last long for Astria, as deliveries became fewer and farther between and more dangerous than she liked. The couriers ended up going their separate ways, and Astria and Elisa returned to their lives of reading and traveling.<br /> <br /> ==Traits and Characteristics==<br /> ===Personality===<br /> Astria, though a seemingly calm individual, is known to those around her for her short temper and occasional outbursts. She is easily annoyed, and tends to avoid interaction with those who have annoyed her in the past.

It was during this time that she began to become curious about the nature of Astria and Cathryn's relationship, though she dared not inquire, and so the curiosity soon faded. After a few months, Cordelia passed away, and a few months later, Godric followed. The loss devastated Elisa, and in the coming days she required almost constant consolation. During this time, Elisa began devoutly studying alchemy as a distraction, eventually becoming very knowledgeable in its practice. After some time, Astria and Elisa found a love for traveling, and began traveling around Eorzea, though it eventually became more seldom. During one trip, or more accurately, an attempt to figure out more about the group Astria was working with, she met the benefactor of the group, an Elezen named Auvix Trisault, who would end up employing her as an accountant of sorts, though this vocation did not last long, and she and Astria returned to reading and occasionally traveling.<br /> ==Traits and Characteristics==<br /> ===Personality===<br /> Elisa, unlike her cousin, is a difficult person to annoy and is much more cool-headed. However, when she does become annoyed or angry, she is known to lash out at people verbally. She is only somewhat social, usually preferring a book and a cup of tea to a conversation, however when engaged in a conversation she is often very enthusiastic. She enjoys taunting others, usually going out of her way to do it when the desire to do so hits her. She is relatively easy to befriend, though she occasionally forgets her interactions with some people, as she has a tendency to be a bit absent-minded from time to time. Being relatively weak physically, she considers her intelligence to be her greatest strength, and does not hesitate to flaunt it. Being tolerant of many things, Elisa does not complain very often, but when she does, her complaints are fairly minor.<br /> ===Physical Traits===<br /> Elisa is smaller in frame, and is about 5 fulms, 6 ilms in height. She strives to keep her platinum white hair neat and as pretty as possible, considering it her most attractive feature. She usually wears a dress, but can be seen wearing a variety of outfit depending on the time and place. <br /> ===Likes and Dislikes===<br /> ====Likes====<br /> <br /> ====Dislikes====</div>

She has gained renown- or rather infamy- in some circles for her short temper and tendency to lash out at those who cross her.<br /> ==Biography==<br /> ===Early Life &amp; Childhood===<br /> Astria Stanier was born in the city of Ishgard to Godric and Cordelia Stanier. Her mother, Cordelia, was a talented seamstress and her father, Godric, was a soldier-turned-bounty-hunter known for his skill at arms. The family was quite wealthy as a result of the combined fortunes of their ancestors, most of whom were craftsmen or merchants. When Astria was 2 years of age, her parents adopted her cousin, Elisa, after her parents passed away. The children were nearly inseparable throughout childhood, though they were almost always at odds. The children gained a reputation with those who knew them for being troublemakers, often gaining their entertainment at the expense of others. What time Astria didn't spend with Elisa was spent with her father, from whom she received the majority of her martial training. Her father insisted she master archery, but she quickly gave up the bow, forcing her father to acquiesce to her demands to learn lancing instead.<br /> ===Adolescence===<br /> Around the age of 12, Astria and Elisa started becoming more aware of what the world had to offer. They both developed a passion for reading and learning new things, though most often different subjects. Where Elisa was more interested in subjects like alchemy, Astria developed a particular interest in history. Since the family was wealthy, their love of books was no issue. Astria soon found a friend in Cathryn Blacke, the daughter of a much poorer family on hard times. After introducing Cathryn to Elisa, the trio became extremely close, and convinced Godric and Cordelia to hire Cathryn as a maidservant. <br /> ===Adulthood and Present===<br /> As time went on, Cordelia's health began deteriorating. Astria began spending more time with her mother, knowing the inevitable end was near. She was often joined by Elisa and Cathryn. By this time, Cathryn had become, for the most part, a member of the family, and had been given her own quarters within the family's home. After a few months, Cordelia finally passed away, and Godric who was elderly for a man of his occupation joined her a few months later. Astria was not saddened by this, though, as she had come to terms with the fact that her mother and father would eventually pass away. Elisa, on the other hand, was devastated by the loss, and much of Astria's time in the coming days was dedicated to comforting her. After the fog of mourning was finally lifted from the household, Astria returned to what she enjoyed; reading, and practicing lancing. However, she and Elisa soon discovered a love for traveling and decided to take a trip to Limsa Lominsa. It was on this trip that Astria discovered a new hobby: Solving people's problems for money. Though she never became a full-time mercenary, she enjoyed the work well enough. She and Elisa continued taking trips to different locales in Eorzea, mostly in the Black Shroud which they had decided was their favorite place to visit. Eventually, the traveling became more seldom, but still retained its charm. The duo did not travel together as often, but would buy various gifts to compensate. Eventually, on one of her solo trips to Ul'Dah, Astria met an Auri man named Jenkshi Kagon, who would become her next employer. The man was the operator of a courier service known as the Veiled Ravens. The couriers were interesting enough, though a only select few stood out to Astria. The courier service, however, did not last long for Astria, as deliveries became fewer and farther between and more dangerous than she liked. The couriers ended up going their separate ways, and Astria and Elisa returned to their lives of reading and traveling. <br /> ==Traits and Characteristics==<br /> ===Personality===<br /> Astria, though a seemingly calm individual, is known to those around her for her short temper and occasional outbursts. She is easily annoyed, and tends to avoid interaction with those who have annoyed her in the past. In social situations, she does her best to maintain a polite facade, more often than not waiting until after the conversation to remind people of their idiocy. Astria is not the type to make friends easily, and is often known to display a lack of interest in conversations with many people. Many have noted her reticence and almost puritanical outlook, as she often refuses to divulge information about her personal life, and is openly condemning of lewd behavior. When she does engage in conversation, however, she is sometimes unenthusiastic, and on occasion rude, but, although rare, she has her moments of kindness. Not hesitant to express her displeasure with any given situation, she complains often, and will do so until she can find nothing more to complain about. For the most part, however, she enjoys speaking to those she deems worthy, especially if she is talking about herself or Ishgard. As a result of being well-read, Astria considers herself to be fairly intelligent, often believing herself to be more intelligent than others. She rarely hesitates to correct the mistakes of others, no matter how minor.<br /> <br /> ===Physical Traits===<br /> Astria is roughly 5 fulms and 6 ilms tall and is fairly average in size. Being very conscious of her appearance, she takes great care to look presentable at all times, never letting others see her when she believes she is not. Her love of the colors white and purple are more than apparent in her wardrobe, as she is usually seen, in public at least, wearing her characteristic white armor or, on some occasions, a currant purple dress. She keeps her sapphire hair pulled back in a neat ponytail, on occasion stating she hates the way it looks when she leaves it down.<br /> <br /> ===Likes and Dislikes===<br /> ====Likes====<br /> This Hyur is a woman of simple pleasures with simple desires. She enjoys tea, books, traveling and buying nice things for herself. She also enjoys fighting, often visiting the Lancers' Guild to spar while on trips to Gridania. One of her greatest loves, however, is her home. Being very nationalistic, Astria considers Ishgard to be nearly without flaw and often praises it whenever the chance arises.<br /> <br /> ====Dislikes====<br /> For everything Astria likes, she seems to dislike 70 others. Almost anywhere she goes, she can, and will, find a complaint about it. In Thanalan it's too hot and the sand annoys her, in La Noscea it always smells of salt and it's too humid, and in the Black Shroud, though it's her favorite place to visit, she complains about insects and the scent of the forest. She also has a particular disdain for bards, minstrels and clowns, though nobody is entirely sure why. Possibly her most vehement dislike is alcohol of any kind, which she will zealously refuse to drink regardless of the situation, but she never explains why she despises it as much as she does. Astria also expresses open dislike for flirting and romance in general, but again does not specify why.</div>

She has gained renown- or rather infamy- in some circles for her short temper and tendency to lash out at those who cross her.<br /> ==Biography==<br /> ===Early Life &amp; Childhood===<br /> Astria Stanier was born in the city of Ishgard to Godric and Cordelia Stanier. Her mother, Cordelia, was a talented seamstress and her father, Godric, was a soldier-turned-bounty-hunter known for his skill at arms. The family was quite wealthy as a result of the combined fortunes of their ancestors, most of whom were craftsmen or merchants. When Astria was 2 years of age, her parents adopted her cousin, Elisa, after her parents passed away. The children were nearly inseparable throughout childhood, though they were almost always at odds. The children gained a reputation with those who knew them for being troublemakers, often gaining their entertainment at the expense of others. What time Astria didn't spend with Elisa was spent with her father, from whom she received the majority of her martial training. Her father insisted she master archery, but she quickly gave up the bow, forcing her father to acquiesce to her demands to learn lancing instead.<br /> ===Adolescence===<br /> Around the age of 12, Astria and Elisa started becoming more aware of what the world had to offer. They both developed a passion for reading and learning new things, though most often different subjects. Where Elisa was more interested in subjects like alchemy, Astria developed a particular interest in history. Since the family was wealthy, their love of books was no issue. Astria soon found a friend in Cathryn Blacke, the daughter of a much poorer family on hard times. After introducing Cathryn to Elisa, the trio became extremely close, and convinced Godric and Cordelia to hire Cathryn as a maidservant. <br /> ===Adulthood and Present===<br /> As time went on, Cordelia's health began deteriorating. Astria began spending more time with her mother, knowing the inevitable end was near. She was often joined by Elisa and Cathryn. By this time, Cathryn had become, for the most part, a member of the family, and had been given her own quarters within the family's home. After a few months, Cordelia finally passed away, and Godric who was elderly for a man of his occupation joined her a few months later. Astria was not saddened by this, though, as she had come to terms with the fact that her mother and father would eventually pass away. Elisa, on the other hand, was devastated by the loss, and much of Astria's time in the coming days was dedicated to comforting her. After the fog of mourning was finally lifted from the household, Astria returned to what she enjoyed; reading, and practicing lancing. However, she and Elisa soon discovered a love for traveling and decided to take a trip to Limsa Lominsa. It was on this trip that Astria discovered a new hobby: Solving people's problems for money. Though she never became a full-time mercenary, she enjoyed the work well enough. She and Elisa continued taking trips to different locales in Eorzea, mostly in the Black Shroud which they had decided was their favorite place to visit. Eventually, the traveling became more seldom, but still retained its charm. The duo did not travel together as often, but would buy various gifts to compensate. Eventually, on one of her solo trips to Ul'Dah, Astria met an Auri man named Jenkshi Kagon, who would become her next employer. The man was the operator of a courier service known as the Veiled Ravens. The couriers were interesting enough, though a only select few stood out to Astria. The courier service, however, did not last long for Astria, as deliveries became fewer and farther between and more dangerous than she liked. The couriers ended up going their separate ways, and Astria and Elisa returned to their lives of reading and traveling. <br /> ==Traits and Characteristics==<br /> ===Personality===<br /> Astria, though a seemingly calm individual, is known to those around her for her short temper and occasional outbursts. She is easily annoyed, and tends to avoid interaction with those who have annoyed her in the past. In social situations, she does her best to maintain a polite facade, more often than not waiting until after the conversation to remind people of their idiocy. Astria is not the type to make friends easily, and is often known to display a lack of interest in conversations with many people. Many have noted her reticence and almost puritanical outlook, as she often refuses to divulge information about her personal life, and is openly condemning of lewd behavior. When she does engage in conversation, however, she is sometimes unenthusiastic, and on occasion rude, but, although rare, she has her moments of kindness. For the most part, however, she enjoys speaking to those she deems worthy, especially if she is talking about herself or Ishgard. As a result of being well-read, Astria considers herself to be fairly intelligent, often believing herself to be more intelligent than others. She rarely hesitates to correct the mistakes of others, no matter how minor. <br /> ===Physical Traits===<br /> Astria is roughly 5 fulms and 6 ilms tall and weighs around 150 ponz. Her love of the colors white and purple are more than apparent in her wardrobe, as she is usually seen, in public at least, wearing her characteristic white armor or, on some occasions, a currant purple dress. She keeps her sapphire hair pulled back in a neat ponytail, on occasion stating she hates the way it looks when she leaves it down.<br /> ===Likes and Dislikes===<br /> ====Likes====<br /> This Hyur is a woman of simple pleasures with simple desires. She enjoys tea, books, traveling and buying nice things for herself. She also enjoys fighting, often visiting the Lancers' Guild to spar while on trips to Gridania. Her one love, however, is her home. Being extremely nationalistic, Astria considers Ishgard to be nearly without flaw.<br /> ====Dislikes====<br /> For everything Astria likes, she seems to dislike 70 others. Almost anywhere she goes, she can, and will, find a complaint about it.

Eventually, the traveling became more seldom, but still retained its charm. The duo did not travel together as often, but would buy various gifts to compensate. Eventually, on one of her solo trips to Ul'Dah, Astria met an Auri man named Jenkshi Kagon, who would become her next employer. The man was the operator of a courier service known as the Veiled Ravens. The couriers were interesting enough, though a only select few stood out to Astria. The courier service, however, did not last long for Astria, as deliveries became fewer and farther between and more dangerous than she liked. The couriers ended up going their separate ways, and Astria and Elisa returned to their lives of reading and traveling. <br /> ==Personality==</div>
