'''Flickering Ember''' is a blind roegadyn hailing from Eastern Thanalan. The girl has accomplished the seemingly impossible by growing up in solitude within the arid region. She is a feral child who has been partially assimilated into society over the course of several years. When she was first discovered in the wilds of Thanalan shortly after the Calamity, she was essentially mute with the exception of a few toddler-like words. Though with often animal-like mannerisms and a lack of understanding towards society and culture, Ember keeps home in The Goblet along with her free company, Aeon.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #C94C33;font-size:14px;color:#120A07;">Physical Description</div>===
Despite her youth, Ember's height matches many of the tallest roegadyns. It is easily her most apparent feature as she towers over most people, including many roegadyns. Her next most recognizable features are her ashy dark skin, fiery red hair, distinctive facial markings, and her odd eyes. Ashy dark skin contrasts with her bright red-orange fiery hair, creating the look of a young woman who encompasses the spirit of the very volcanoes her clan hails from. Her body is marked by several scars she has obtained from her rugged lifestyle. None of these are grisly battle scars, but rather small, faint, and faded ones that are too difficult to notice without staring. Aside from her scars, she has two more noticeable markings elsewhere on her body. The more obvious one is the claw like marking that spreads from one end of her face to another. It appears to be permanently graphed into her skin. The other is runic symbol on her left upper back, just over where her heart is. It is clearly of a magical nature with its glowing chill blue and intricate design.

Aside from height, Ember lives up to another of her race's features with her muscular build. A lifestyle of hunting and surviving with no one to depend on but herself has kept her physically strong. However, she is not as well chiseled as an experienced, fully grown roegadyn warrior. Ember's weight can fluctuate as well depending on her current living situations. Much of the time her friends and family provide her with food, something on which Ember indulges on without limit. This helps her put on some much needed fat. Overall, she is a muscular, physically strong girl who could still use some toughening up to reach her full potential.

Ember's eyes are another item of note. The young woman is blind though she is without cataracts or any noticeable injury to the eyes. They are normal and healthy. Clues of her condition can be gathered from how she looks at her environments around her. She does not make eye contact wit objects or people nor do her pupils shift much. Often times this can result in her appearing to stare at something or someone endlessly.

Her voice is on the husky side but lightened by Ember's typical inquisitive, enthusiastic, and generally happy demeanor.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #C94C33;font-size:14px;color:#120A07;">Personality</div>===

Ember is a person of extremes. She is either quiet and mistrusting, hostile and aggressive, or sweet and affectionate. In new situations or around those she does not know, she can be reserved and suspicious. However, her trust can be easily won by gift-giving, aiding her when she is in need, or providing her with affection. If Ember feels threatened for whatever reason, even if the gesture is relatively mundane or harmless, she will lash out. She is very protective of things she claims as her own and this can extend past just items of value. Most importantly, Ember loves and desires attention. She longs for the approval of others and places extreme importance in impressing others that she has a strong opinion of.

She is curious of almost everything and enjoys actively interacting with people and/or items. Even the smallest things in life can bring her great joy. She can also be stubborn at times, choosing when or when she will not listen to others. However, the more she sees an individual as a superior, the more she will be willing to listen to them. Her solitude can lead her to be insensitive but the well-being of others is a top concern for her. Above all, she is affectionate and seeks happiness through others.

Apart from this, Ember acts on instinct and irrational thought to guide her in decision-making, a product of her upbringing. Often times she is more of a do-er than a thinker. Because of her upbringing, she hasn’t had the advantage of education but more importantly, she hasn’t been mentally stimulated the same way others who have grown up around people have. She did not learn to speak until very late in her life, troubling for her mental development. She is overall not as intelligent as many others for this reason, although she holds no mental conditions. More times than not, though, she is simply ignorant and can make up for her lack of knowledge with cleverness, should the situation call for it.

It is unknown where Ember came from, who her parents are, or when she was born. It is a mystery even to herself. The first sightings and rumors of a wild child, little more than a beast, began passing around in some settlements of Thanalan over a decade ago. The villagers spoke of a young girl who looked and acted like an animal. These early accounts always spoke of her from a distance and described her more as a fairytale or an urban legend than a real child in need of help.

Ember cannot recall a time where the desert was not her home. Parents, friends, social norms, entertainment, man-made amenities, language – all these were not only foreign to her but completely unknown until a short while ago. The majority of her life has been spent roaming and living off the land on her lonesome. Above all else, the need for survival ruled the entirety of her life. Life in the desert is a hard one.

She often took up residence in abandoned buildings or in other similar shelters around Eastern Thanalan. Her lifestyle was nomadic, often traveling to all other areas of Thanalan, except for the north. However, she would always end up returning to the Eastern Thanalan at the end of these journeys.

In this way, her concerns were for food, water, shelter, and safety. Wherever food and water was plentiful would dictate what region of Thanalan she would migrate to. Shelter was necessary to evade the sometimes too overbearing heat. Safety was not only to refrain being killed by other more dangerous creatures, but to overpower them when possible for a required meal. Fun and entertainment was rarely a factor in her life.

As she grew, personal accounts of her in the various villages increased. She grew bolder and became willing to rob farms of their produce and livestock. Still, she remained elusive to capture.

It wasn't until the Calamity occurred that everything changed. The catastrophic event killed a startling number of people and forever changed the landscape of the world. It affected those living in the wilderness just as it had those who dwelled in cities. The result was an injured Ember, badly in need of treatment.

Shortly after the Calamity, search parties person out to retrieve the injured and the dead across the region of Thanalan. It was during this search that a search party from Ul'dah came across Ember. At the time, she was too weak to resist capture and was taken back to the city.

There, she was placed in the care of Menphina's Joy Orphanage. Shortly after her admittance, the orphanage became full and was unable to accept any more children orphaned by the Calamity.

Ember's presence caused quite a stir right from the get-go. After a few days of care, she became conscious enough to turn violent on her saviors. She had never known human interaction and so she turned on them, biting them and scratching them viciously like an animal. She had no restraint which increased the dangers of such a crude method of attack.

[[File:Ember graphite 2.png|200px|thumb|right| A sketch of Ember sent out by Menphina's Joy Orphanage]]

The orphanage endured Ember's uncontrollable and volatile behavior for a long period of time before discussions of casting her out from the orphanage took place. The girl had been unresponsive to kindness and showed no signs of improving her violent behavior. Furthermore, the girl had no education or skills. She could not talk. It was required to restrain her to perform simple tasks such as bathing her, treating her injuries, or getting her to participate in other hygienic care.

It was the emergence of a roegadyn named, Burning Mountain that changed everything. The roegadyn prevented the the girl from being cast out and took her into his own care as a foster father. The man worked long and hard to try and assimilate Ember into social society. It was a long and slow process but one that ended up proving success. Ember began to learn language skills and basic social behavior. She could communicate with other humans without attacking them. She learned 'Hello' , 'Please' , 'Thank you' , and 'Goodbye.'

However, over time Burning Mountain took notice to how Ember pined for her old life back in the wilderness of Thanalan. She had long since recovered and have learned a great deal in that time. Still, she had much to learn, but he would not keep her from her own life. He agreed to release her back into the wild, though they would still occasionally meet to brush up on Ember's language skills.

:<font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font>[[Jericho Lapointe]] : Ember met Jericho at a time of turmoil in his life. In their first meeting, Jericho could not control his magical powers and was unleashing a series of dangerous spells. Ember was able to diffuse him by simply taking his hand and holding it. Ever since then, the two have shared a close bond that has taken a romantic turn. Jericho needs Ember for her positivity and smiles and Ember needs hims for his grounded and supportive nature.

:<font style="color:#F0F078;" size="3">♥</font>[[Brynhilde Wulf]] : At the time Ember met Brynhilde, she was still living on her own in the desert. Brynhilde triggered a chain of events that lead to Ember gradually connecting to other people more and more. It is thanks to the older woman that Ember has been able to find love, family, and friends. She not only sees Brynhilde as her mother but she also sees her as a rolemodel. Because of this, Ember both seeks comfort from Brynhilde as well as a need to impress her. Additionally, in terms of authority, Ember views Brynhilde's word as stone.

:<font style="color:#F0F078;" size="3">♥</font>[[Faolan Woodlock]] : A young man whom she shares quite a few similarities with. Both grew up in the silence of the wilderness, caring for themselves in harsh regions--him in snowy lands and Ember in the arid regions of Thanalan. They share a wanting for others that can feel far away or awkward due to their upbringing in solitude. Because of this, Ember takes a refuge in Faolan's presence where they have an unspoken bond. Although the woodsman often has trouble with being touched, Ember often holds his hand whenever she can.

:<font style="color:#F0F078;" size="3">♥</font>[[Sophia Grave]] : In many ways, Sophia and Ember are vastly different from each other. Sophia has proven a trustworthy ally and companion to Ember. Her very presence brings her great comfort and delight. Sophia is both knowledgeable and a strong opponent--two traits that Ember holds in high regard. In short, Sophia has always been there for her which has made Sophia's recent decisions all the more painful for the young roegadyn who loves and looks up to her like a sister. Recent events have pitted Sophia against the rest of her family--something that has broken Ember's heart.

:<font style="color:#F0F078;" size="3">♥</font>[[Tiergan Vashir]] : Tiergan is like a vastly older brother to Ember. Where she views Zaius as fun, Tiergan is regarded as the more 'parent-like' one in his willingness to scold her. She only sometimes listens to him but recognizes that Tiergan has experience and wisdom that is often invaluable. Perhaps one could question the extent of wisdom a man who has spent much of his life fighting in the arenas could impart. However, it is precisely because of Tiergan's physical aptitude that leads her to such beliefs. With him as a companion to help guide her through several traumatic events, she holds him in high regard. Even if Tiergan can be a bit of a grump, having him around is always a celebration for Ember.

:<font style="color:#F0F078;" size="3">♥</font>[[Zaius Rhal'seer]] : Like Tiergan, Ember views Zaius as a vastly older brother. However, their relationship dynamic differs dramatically. Where Ember thinks Tiergan as stern, Zaius is fun-loving. Long stretches of absence and their brief meetings only serve to heighten her value of him. She has a more affectionate bond with Tiergan but Zaius is the cool older brother whom Ember admires strongly. Intrigued and amazed by his stories of power, Ember holds an immense respect for him by his sheer strength alone. His power, cleverness, dominance, and knowledge make her view him as an ideal rolemodel, alongside Brynhilde. In short, she wants to grow up to be him.

:<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">♥</font>[[Caen Jabari]] : Caen is an upbeat teenaged miqo'te, very recently turned adult. Like Leilani, she sees him as an equal of sorts. Ember likes Caen's positive presence that could dissipate any frown. Despite his positivity, Ember knows it is housed by an inner sadness. She was there when the amnesiac magically received his memories back--of which she has been unable to forget the tragic death of his mother. Ember feels for Caen's loneliness but he always excels in making ::her:: never feel alone. She appreciates how willing he is to touch her and let her touch him. Caen has often forgotten that Ember is blind, to which Ember also fails to realize he does not know due to his willingness to guide her by the hand. She often questions some of his logic, finding some of his reasonings on certain concepts to be strange.

:<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">♥</font>[[Ja'ren A'lenthin]] : Ja'ren came into Ember's life around the time she took residence up in the Goblet. Even when they had first met, they held an amicable relationship. Her opinion of him grew the more she got to know him. The Miqo'te youth has a special type of vision that Ember found fascinating. When they lived together it was common for Ja'ren to make gifts with his crafting skills as well as provide meals for the household. Their relationship grew into one that is akin to that of siblings, with both of them looking out for one another. Ember enjoys pestering him while Ja'ren tolerates it. Recent happenings have hurt her feelings towards him. Even so, he remains dear to her.

:<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">♥</font>[[Leilani Leilai]] : Leilani is a teenaged lalafell girl whom Ember thinks of as an equal, perhaps not in combat, but in her handling of the world. Leilani is chipper and enthusiastic. She is a practitioner of the arts: music, dancing, pies. ( Ember especially likes the pies.) When Ember is with Leilani, she always feels welcome.

:<font style="color:#679AE7;" size="3">♥</font>[[Avenio Naemig]] : First met on a mission to recover a village's missing children, Ember didn't really start to form an opinion of him until they teamed up to rescue [[Faolan Woodlock]] from mysterious monsters. The highlander may not speak much, but he carries his character through his deeds. Avenio aided Ember during some of her most vulnerable points of their most recent mission together. Though she has witnessed a scary side of him, Avenio managed to reassure her.
:<font style="color:#679AE7;" size="3">♥</font>[[Bertrand Irons]]: "Irons" to Ember. Bertrand is a capable, knowledgeable, and dedicated doctor with a warm and friendly demeanor. Bertrand has cared for several of Ember's injuries, a kindness that she is not likely to forget. Without even knowing her, he took a genuine interest in helping her. On top of this, Bertrand helps to boost Ember's confidence by assuring her that her blindness is a strength, not a weakness. He has taken to reading storybooks to her.

:<font style="color:#679AE7;" size="3">♥</font>[[Brave Horizon]] : A fellow roegadyn Hellsguard who has been cut off from society up until recently. This is a history that she shared with Ember, although for differing reasons. Brave is a comforting presence for Ember and perhaps vice versa. Ember views Brave as an equal and therefore someone that she feels she can confide in.

:<font style="color:#679AE7;" size="3">♥</font>[[Chachanji Gegenji]] : For a brief period, Ember had become her old feral self for unknown reasons. Since her transitioning back to normal, Ember remembers the care he had placed in her. His presence is calming and memories of him combing her hair provide a somewhat instinctual interest in his hair. He has a kind and friendly nature that Ember feels she can confide in and look to for aid.

:<font style="color:#679AE7;" size="3">♥</font>[[Daghbheri Himalspyr]] : Or simply "Dog" to Ember. The two first befriended over him gifting a meal to her. Since then, Dogberry has become an adult friend to her. She appreciates his kind, casual, and laidback nature. She finds him to be approachable with interesting topics to discuss.

:<font style="color:#679AE7;" size="3">♥</font>[[Memeli Meli]] : First met at Memeli's own girls' only slumber party, Ember has since then found a friend in the pink lalafell. Memeli is loud, playful, and most of all FUN. It is quite easy to be entertained when she is around. Memeli is also noticeably caring towards her friends. Ember adores it whenever the young woman addresses or acknowledges her. She is convinced that Memeli has sprouted bunny ears due to how consistently they are worn.

:<font style="color:#679AE7;" size="3">♥</font>[[Staelufre Lysmerl]] : Staelufre is a person who often steals much of Ember's interest. The miqo'te woman has some kind of connection to magic that Ember has never known, she tells the most amazing, fun, and informative stories, knows the roegadyn language, and she is often getting into trouble. She is fascinated by every word Staelufre speaks. Ember also sees Staelufre as a person that respects and regards her as an equal, despite Ember viewing her as having superior knowledge of the world.

:<font style="color:#;" size="3">♥</font>[[Virara Wakuwa]] : Virara had also met Ember in her feral state, though she scarcely remembers Virara's presence from that time period. She does, however, remember her and is intrigued by her. They share similarities, both being feral children. They also share a love of food. Ember often misunderstands her customs, especially anything that relates back to Virara's Master. However, Ember greatly respects her fighter's spirit.

:<font style="color:#E6D5D5;" size="3">♥</font>[[Jancis Milburga]] : Ember has had a few meetings with Jancis. Jancis is always polite and kind to Ember. She constantly interprets Jancis' manner of speaking as a sign of the woman holding an unspoken respect and/or affection towards Ember. She is unsure how Jancis knows her but she goes along with it instead of letting it bother her.

:<font style="color:#E6D5D5;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#BEC3BC;" size="3">●</font> [[Teld're Eska'aldren]] : Teld're is an enigma to Ember. She often forgets how she met him or how he knows her. In his mysterious nature, Ember is curious of the extent of his knowledge and power, speculating that he must have a hidden depth of strength that she has not yet witnessed. She is slightly wary of him but has taken a liking to him due him being amiable towards her on a consistent basis. His past as something of a slave and his connection to Tiergan and Staelufre provide her interest in him.

:<font style="color:#BEC3BC;" size="3">●</font>[[Gus Pumpkinweed]] : Met only once. Ember dislikes Gus Pumpkinweed for one simple reason: Her friends do. However, she also views him as skimping out on a promise to give food. (Though in reality he did take an interest in gifting Ember food)

:<font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font>[[Reginald Ozrik]] : Initially mistrustful of him after L'aenoh's accusing him of hurting Staelufre, her first impression of the man was not improved even after the misconceptions had been cleared up. Though perhaps justified in his agitation, after being punched by L'aenoh, Ember took this to represent how Reginald is. His poking fun of the way she spoke particularly struck a self-conscious nerve. Even after he apologized she was unable to forgive him and took the apology further to be an insult.

:<font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font>[[Sebastian Grave]] : Sophia's brother and a source of mistrust for Ember due to her negative first impression of him. She views the young man as aggressive, aloof, and callous. Subsequent meetings have done little to improve her opinion of him despite being mild encounters.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #A9A9F5;font-size:14px;color:#3D3D3D;">Portia Bartel</div>===

: A young noblewoman of Gridania, Portia was once an accomplished conjurer, but now studies thaumaturgy. She is pregnant with her first child, and eagerly awaits motherhood. At first glance she seems like a very kind, motherly figure. But she carries a darkness with her, something that has made her stronger, more assertive, and at times, surprisingly cruel.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #3D3D3D;font-size:14px;color:#A9A9F5;">Appearance</div>===
[[File:PortiaTattoo.png|left|380x390px|Portia and her tattoos]] Although a Seeker of the Sun, Portia's skin is very pale. Her hair is a common shade of brown streaked with white that she wears down. The fur of her ears is brown, blending into her hair, and the fur of her tail the same except for the tip being white as if dipped in cream. Her face is round and soft-looking, with purple eyes. Her left eye is a dark purple, but the right looking a few shades lighter. Under her left eye is a small white marking. Over the lighter eye, a scar only a few years old crosses down from above her eyebrow to just a little down her cheek. She is average height, though her body is thin and delicate-looking, and picking her up one would realize she weighs only a little more than a child. From neck to wrist to ankle she is now covered with tattoos of an ancient-rune natures, and though she has not spoken of their reason, it is noticeable that when she uses the aether, the tattoos shimmer and glow.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #A9A9F5;font-size:14px;color:#3D3D3D;">Personality</div>===

: Very kind and respectful. She upholds the image of a proper lady by offering polite conversation to anyway without qualm. It is one gets to know her, however, that one might see the darkness that has taken her soul. Plagued by a difficult life and urged by her master Zagi'zi, Portia is at times bitter. It would seem that the happy exterior is a mask that hides a dark center. She is extremely loyal, especially to Zagi'zi, and would take her own life if he asked it of her. She is also extremely protective, part of her motherly instinct that she's always had, but even more-so now that she has given birth to her daughter.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #3D3D3D;font-size:14px;color:#A9A9F5;">Biography</div>===

====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Childhood</div>====

: A small bundle was found in the Twelveswood by a Hyur couple. They discovered an infant, a small Seeker kit, and adopted the baby as their own. Portia was raised by the Bartel family, wealthy nobles from Gridania. She had a very blessed childhood, growing up without want. She was raised as a lady, learning all the common talents such as music, art, literature, and crafting. Portia attended school, and when she was younger, was teased by the many Elezen and Hyur in her class, even fellow Miqo'te, because she didn't look anything like a Keeper. Due to the racism of the time, she tended to keep to herself, staying quiet and out of the way.

====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Teenage</div>====

: In the last few years of her schooling, Portia finally came out of her shell, dismissing the snide comments made about her and became content in her life. She enjoyed reading and singing and flower-arranging.

: She grew up knowing that her role in life would be as a wife to a nobleman and have children. At her nineteenth year, she had still not been courted by any man, and her parents feared that she would not be taken care of after they were gone.When she was twenty, the very wealthy Lord Deavin Vantis asked her father for her hand.

: Portia does not care to speak of the things that happened to her during her engagement. Deavin turned out to be a cruel man, an owner of several female slaves, and a sadistic mind. He did unspeakable things to her, including an incident that caused the scar over her right eye and discolored iris. When it was discovered by a nursemaid that she was barren and could not produce heirs for Deavin, she knew her life here would be doomed. Portia ran in the night, and in doing so, angered Lord Deavin. For her insolence, he had her mother and father killed. When Portia discovered the bodies, she knew she would be on the run for the rest of her life, for fear he would find her and finish her off as well.

====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Present</div>====
[[File:PortiaandZapprentice.png|right|328x390px|Portia and Zagi'zi]]
: The last few years, Portia studied conjurey as she traveled Eorzea and visited orphanages. She volunteered her time cooking, cleaning, and taking care of children in return for food and shelter. She also trained with the Lance in the deserts of Thanalan, spending time as an ally of the Amalj'aa and meeting Vanhi, her drake. Vanhi and Portia spent a lot of time together, especially during troubled times, and the two of them bonded strongly.

: Recently, the great black mage Zagi'zi Kumai came to her when she had all but given up on finding happiness. Plagued by the direction her life had taken her, Portia was at a loss for direction. Zagi'zi offered her a deal, to become his apprentice and follow every order no matter what. In return he would make decisions for her, and take all responsibility for her, so that she would no longer feel the guilt and pain of consequence.

: Portia began to study the art of thaumaturgy under Zagi'zi, doing all she could to make him proud. He urged her to take the next step in her life, and seek revenge for Lord Deavin's cruelty. Together, the two of them returned to the Vantis manor. Portia in all of her rage and pain killed every guard she found inside in cold blood, even burning some alive. After finding Lord Deavin, she tortured him by dismembering him (literally) and burned him.

[[File:Portiaandbabyluna.png|left|390x390px|Portia and her daughter Luna]] It was around this time that Zagi'zi and Portia conceived, and Portia gave the news to her master of her pregnancy. He reacted at first with denial, and then ignored it. Since then he has been distant with her, speaking to her very little.

: Portia returned to her home in Gridania, and after being abandoned for 5 years, has spent most of her time alone in the large house restoring it to its formal glory. Near the end of her pregnancy, Zagi'zi had Portia get ancient rune tattoos covering over her entire body, from neck to her wrists and ankles.

:Portia has now given birth to hers and Zagi'zi's daughter which she has named Luna Bartel.

====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Combat Abilities</div>====

: Portia used to only be able to use healing magic and some simple water and rock spells, but ever since studying thaumaturgy, she has found it impossible to use healing magic. She mainly uses black magic now, competent in both ice and fire spells as well as some barriers. She also knows her way around a lance, but ever since becoming Zagi'zi's apprentice, has dedicated her life to being a mage. Once a rather weak fighter, Portia can now somewhat hold her own in a fight. Ever since getting tattoos, her powers have been especially amplified.

After feeling shut-out by the rest of the world, and finding stability in him, Portia realized she had growing feelings for the man, even if he was well-guarded.

She knows the rest of them see her as someone who plays on the dark side, and she can no longer deny it either.

==Character==
[[File:Jaques Tiergan.jpg|300px|thumb|left|Art by Tiergan Vashir.]]
This guarded, scowling, and often intimidating looking Duskwight tends to keep to himself. Those observing him may notice how he seems to always move with purpose and carries himself with confidence and balance. Whatever he is wearing will typically be in good repair, although obviously well used.

[[File:Tattoo-larm.jpg|right|armband tattoo.]]

===General===

Server: Balmung

Full Name: Jaques Guillaume

Name & Aliases: Jaques, Tabby, Tabby-elf (which he hates), Jack (usually as an insult or those who are after or know about the bounty.)

Pronunciation (listen to the french version): [http://translate.google.com/#en/fr/Jaques%20Guillaume]

Birthplace: - The Clan Marécage caverns are located in southern Coerthas. In the mountains just north of the Yafaem Saltmoor.

Voice: Deep, mature, masculine.

===Appearance===

[[File:Jaques scarrification.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Scarification banner down right side.]]
Jaques is on the tall and heavy side for an elezen, standing at about 6 fulms 10 ilms and roughly coming in at 240 ponz. Although he is in no way fat. In fact he's more on the well-muscled side for his kind. Instead of the typical grey and ashen skin tones of other Duskwights his is dark brown. His face is is rectangular with a thin, sharp, slightly down-turned nose, fuller lips, and a stern and pronounced brow over narrow, almond shaped bright amber eyes. He has a old scar that runs diagonally down away from his nose on his left cheek and has a fading black tribal like tattoo around his eyes that seems to only accentuate the guarded and impassive scowl that he typically wears. His thick and unruly black hair is kept braided back away from his face at pretty much all times and the thick, full beard is kept trimmed and well groomed. His ears are of slightly longer length than average and upturn slightly at the tips. The lobes are pierced and he usually wears a pair of black dangling claws fashioned into earrings. At his neck he wears a black bone and stone necklace and is otherwise unadorned with such accessories.

Jaques's clothing tends to run on the more practical and simple side rather than anything flashing and flamboyant and seems to prefer more muted and natural colour tones. He's most often seen in leathers of some variety with a pair of metal claws strapped to a heavily pouched belt. He always has a hunting knife strapped to his right boot. He sometimes is seen wearing dark plate armour and sporting a large axe strapped to his back. He is almost always seen carrying a much abused and patched pack.

His layered scarring gives away his life as a melee fighter. If one can see his legs and arms they'd see several minor scars on his knuckles, forearms, shins and knees. All of them of varying ages. He does has a few body scars. Claw rakes run parallel to the spine over his shoulder blades. There is a scar from what was probably a fairly major wound on his right side just above his pelvic bone, going from front to back. Also on his right side, starting just below the armpit and ending just above the old scar is some very fresh scarrification. A tribal-esque banner. On his left side and peck he has a fairly major but fully healed burn scar. He also has a tattoo on his left bicep. A simple thin complete black band. The bottom of the band is lined with red and has a break on the outside of the arm with red orb in the center of the break.

===Behavior===

:'''Motivations:''' Helping those in need, especially those he calls friend. Building a new life for himself and for his love.

:'''Disposition:''' Quiet, cold, distrustful and stand-offish to those he first meets. However he does tend to remain polite. Protective and friendly to those he knows and calls friend.

He tends to keep to himself most times or is sometimes seen associating in smaller groups of people. He tends to be a planner, not liking to go into situations and confrontations blind. His emotions tend to be hidden behind his stern and impassive scowl. He does seem to actively avoid going into places that serve alcoholic beverages. With the only exception being the Bismarck where he occasionally works as as a fill in chef. It takes a bit to rile him but once his temper is lost he does tend to loose it violently. He can be quite opinionated on some things and doesn't have much of an issue sharing them once you can get him talking. However ask something too personal without being trusted and he'll clam right back up again.

Once he does start to open up more of his personality shines through. Such as his dry and sometimes sarcastic sense of humor and his protective nature. He is always seeming to want to know how those he cares about has been and how their fairing. If they're having troubles he usually will offer his assistance freely. Sometimes his protective nature can border on the obsessive and will practically force his assistance or protections on someone, whether it's fully wanted or not. He also tends to live more for others than for himself.

::* Bias against Wood Wailers and by extension the Wildwoods for continually "escorting" him out of towns and to the very outskirts of the Shroud for "poaching" and begging in the small settlements and towns around Gridania.
::* Alcohol. He tries to avoid alcohol as he doesn't know moderation. Once he starts he usually doesn't stop until his body makes him.
::* Is very bad at judging item/service values and is bad with his money.
::* Can be very ignorant of the workings of overland society.
::* Has nightmares and doesn't sleep well unless he takes a sip of a potion Polkah taught him to make. And even then he can only take it if he knows he'll have a safe roof over his head for the next few hours.
::* Very non magical. Can do some limited aetheric manipulations through his training as a monk. But they are his personal aether he's learned to manipulate. His also very non-sensitive to aetheric fluctuations and levels of where ever he is.

===Hobbies/Talents===
::* A really good cook.
::* Fishing.
::* Gambling.

==You might know him from...==

When he was a wandering drunkard from the outskirts of the Shroud in the 3 years prior to game launch. Perhaps you gambled with him, gave him a handout or had a drunken brawl with him. Or perhaps you taunted him and scorned him. Or simply tried your best to ignore him.

Recently, you might have seen him in Ul'dah or Limsa. He seems to have cleaned himself up and has not been begging or drunk as far as anyone has seen.

Very recently you might know him from the Ul'dahn 150k gil bounty that had been placed on his head. The description matches Jaques but the name on the bounty has him listed as "Jack." Wanted dead or alive for harboring the fugitive Vaughn Antain, who has a bounty of 850k gil and wanted alive. These bounties are no longer active.

He is now the owner of The Desert Rose. Those from Ul'dah might have heard of the place at one time or another as a very expensive brothel located in the seedier section of Ul'dah. Current rumor is that the brothel is no longer accepting patrons although the reasons are a little vague and open for speculation.

==Rumors==

===Current Event Rumors===

If even half of 'em were able to be proven he'd be put weaponless into a deathmatch in the pits for a bit of bloodsport." --Immortal Flames clerk

==Personal history==

===After exile===
Jaques had a fairly steep learning curve and a fair amount of culture shock since his exile. He did his best at first, scavenging off the land around the outskirts of the Shroud and never even set foot into a settlement. But then the first winter hit. He had no where to supply and stock provisions and he had to enter the outlying settlements else he starve or freeze to death. He'd scavenge from rubbish heaps for leftover scraps to eat and soon learned the art of begging for handouts. It was that first winter that he stared his decent into alcoholism. For the next three years he became little more than the areas wandering homeless drunkard. His life revolved on either being completely sloshed, or figuring out how to become that way.

A chance encounter with a Miqo'te named Polkah, the first person since the exile to really help. Gave him the nudge he needed to get him on a better path for himself. That story can be found here: [http://facetsofeorzea.enjin.com/forum/m/11780670/viewthread/7977473-jaques-gillaume-recovering-alcoholic]

==Clan Marécage information==
<spoiler>
===General information===

::* The Clan Marécage caverns are located in southern Coerthas. In the mountains just north of the Yafaem Saltmoor.
::* The caverns were discovered by a group of 12 extended families. The Guillaume were one of those families that makes up their clan.
::* The community is highly insular, communal, and are a fairly self sufficient hunter/gatherer society.
::* They have no monetary system.
::* The caverns are not just rough cut walls. Stoneshapers (sculptors) are highly prized for their artistry. Patterns and gems have been carved and inset into the walls, columns and passages. The floors are polished smooth. Sculptures representing Byregot are common.
::* Just over a malm away there is another cave structure that this tribe actively mines for gems and other earth commodities.
::* The clan has been and remains to be fairly successful due to the community's continued sweat blood and tears.
::* For religion they acknowledge the Twelve. But they have strong leanings to Byregot, the Builder. They have rituals and such they perform before excavating a new area in order to ensure a safe excavation and divining where to dig. They also have a few religious holidays in his honor.
::* Those charged with defense of the caverns and any activity outside the caverns are called Guardians.
::* Cave structure and development. Originally the caves where three large connected caverns. With hard labor (and explosives...) over the centuries they have added additional large caverns as well as smaller branches leading to private living quarters. The living quarters are pretty much just for that. They are fairly small spaces and used for sleeping/intimacy/privacy. When a couple newly wed, they will take up a spare living quarter. If none are available then one would have to be hollowed out. Of the original three caverns: The first cavern, the one leading to above ground, is the smallest of the caverns. It is used primarily as a staging and receiving area. Goods that are brought in are processed here. DWs heading out of the caverns use this area to equip, supply and prepare. The second cavern is the largest. This is where games/the arena/festivals/the school/general socializing can be found and is held. Most of the living quarter branches start off from this cavern. The third cavern, still fairly large in size, is the community mess hall. Most of the storage and mushroom crop passages lead off from this cavern. The clan created a fourth cavern deeper than the original three. This one is where the council members convene and work. The only passage from that cavern is the one linking it to the third.
::* During one of their early living quarter expansions, they blasted into a small crevice that extended deeper down into the earth. Right into an underground river. This is where the community's fresh water is now supplied from. When things shifted during the calamity, the crevice apparently deepened and the clan had to rework their mechanical pump to reach their fresh water supply.
::* At the time of Jaques exile there were ~350 individuals that called the caverns their home.
::* Up until very recently there had been no conjuration available in the caverns and so they used more traditional medicines and alchemy.

===Politics/laws===

::* The 12 families elect one head to represent them on the council.
::* The council is responsible for directing and looking out for the best interests of the community as a whole. The clan has notices that 12 families coincides with The Twelve. It is considered a good omen. But it isn't like each seat represents one of The Twelve or anything like that.
<spoiler>
::* In lean years the council takes direct control on rationing and distributing goods.
::* Under the council, prominent family members tend to look after and police their own families.

'''Laws:'''

::* One must provide for the community in some capacity.
::* One will never take the life of another.
::* One will not take more than their share. Especially at the expense of others.
::* Two child per married couple. (This was established at the founding of the clan to help create a stable, predictable population growth. By this point it's tradition and not much push to change the law.)

===Growing up in the clan===

There is a school set up in the main cavern that serves as a place for children to learn about a variety of subjects. They start schooling at about the age of 5. The elders are usually tasked with teaching the younger generations.

A child isn't restricted to a job their parents adhere to. Instead, as part of their schooling, they are tested for a variety of aptitudes and are nudged to fully explore and discover those strengths. A child who shows remarkable physical prowess and skills at combat will usually become the guardians and hunters. One that shows a lot of abstract thought and looks/plans on things as a whole would probably be groomed as a family head, if not a potential council member.

Combat learning (whether physical or magical) was just as manditory to learn as reading, writing, and plant lore.

===Punishment===

The individual accused will stand before the council. The council will review their crime and then a majority vote will take place on the level of punishment.

'''Ostracism'''- The lowest tier of punishment. Most common punishment. The individual will be ostracized from the group for an initial period of 3-7 days with a third party community member being assigned to monitor the individual. They will still be allowed to live amongst the community and their caverns will still provide a roof over their heads. But that will be the extent of that the community will help the convicted individual. They will not get to partake in the communal meals and services.
If the individual didn't simply leave the tribe or die, (both rare) then the individual would be presented back in front of the council for further judgement. The person who had been assigned to monitor the convicted will report their findings of how the convicted performed. If they attempted to make amends with the community (Still providing some service for the community even though they were getting nothing in return for example.) then the individual would be welcomed back into the community. If the convicted didn't try to make amends or deliberately decided to continue to cause issues inside the community, then the council would re-review the individual's punishment. It could be extended if they saw some hope. Or the punishment could escalate.

'''Banishment'''- The middle tier of punishment. Fairly rare punishment. But was known to happen. The individual will have demonstrated that they could not and/or would not assimilate into the community and work for the community betterment. This individual is given a small window of time to supply and say farewells. Then they must leave the clan. They were allowed to visit and share on major holidays, if they wished, to check up on any loved ones they left behind.

'''Exiled'''- The top and final tier of punishment. Reserved for those who actively and intentionally caused some harm to the community. Very rare punishment. The individual, upon sentencing, is immediately cast out with only the Items on their person. Their names are stricken from record as the individual is kicked out of even their family. In the eyes of the clan: The exiled have the duskwight race. But he/she may no longer BE a duskwight. The individual is (obviously) never allowed back to the caverns.

'''Additional notes''':

Usually if the crime isn't large enough to make it to the council, the family heads will punish their own. Sometimes with lesser ostracism but could include everything from a stern talking to, to a public humiliation, or to a caning.

Infanticide, while uncommon, is practiced within reason. Its one of the grim allowances they've made to relieve some of the restriction on a couple only being able to have two children. For instance: because neither gender is viewed more desirable than another, killing an infant based solely on gender is hugely taboo. Couples have been banished for it. But if the babe has a major physical deformity or very apparent diminished mental capacity at or shortly after birth? Then it is generally considered a kindness to help those babes pass on rather than have them not be able to fit within and be unable to contribute to the society.

===Outside interactions/contacts===

Common expeditions out of the caverns.

::* To head down to the saltmoors for fishing, hunting, and gathering.
::* To head to the mine.

Scheduled expeditions out of the caverns.

::* To convene with a couple neighboring clans for joint holidays/customs/and trade.
::* Once a year, after the majority of the trading with the neighboring clans had concluded, and towards the end of the harvest season for the surface dwellers. The clan puts together a caravan of the seasons surplus goods and gems make the many malm journey eastwards. There they meet up with a predominately hyur settlement where they trade for things like grains, textiles, and other resources and luxuries they can't get themselves.

'''Flickering Ember''' is a blind roegadyn hailing from Eastern Thanalan. The girl has accomplished the seemingly impossible by growing up in solitude within the arid region. She is a feral child who has been partially assimilated into society over the course of several years. When she was first discovered in the wilds of Thanalan shortly after the Calamity, she was essentially mute with the exception of a few toddler-like words. Though with often animal-like mannerisms and a lack of understanding towards society and culture, Ember keeps home in The Goblet along with her free company, Aeon.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #C94C33;font-size:14px;color:#120A07;">Physical Description</div>===
Despite her youth, Ember's height matches many of the tallest roegadyns. It is easily her most apparent feature as she towers over most people, including many roegadyns. Her next most recognizable features are her ashy dark skin, fiery red hair, distinctive facial markings, and her odd eyes. Ashy dark skin contrasts with her bright red-orange fiery hair, creating the look of a young woman who encompasses the spirit of the very volcanoes her clan hails from. Her body is marked by several scars she has obtained from her rugged lifestyle. None of these are grisly battle scars, but rather small, faint, and faded ones that are too difficult to notice without staring. Aside from her scars, she has two more noticeable markings elsewhere on her body. The more obvious one is the claw like marking that spreads from one end of her face to another. It appears to be permanently graphed into her skin. The other is runic symbol on her left upper back, just over where her heart is. It is clearly of a magical nature with its glowing chill blue and intricate design.

Aside from height, Ember lives up to another of her race's features with her muscular build. A lifestyle of hunting and surviving with no one to depend on but herself has kept her physically strong. However, she is not as well chiseled as an experienced, fully grown roegadyn warrior. Ember's weight can fluctuate as well depending on her current living situations. Much of the time her friends and family provide her with food, something on which Ember indulges on without limit. This helps her put on some much needed fat. Overall, she is a muscular, physically strong girl who could still use some toughening up to reach her full potential.

Ember's eyes are another item of note. The young woman is blind though she is without cataracts or any noticeable injury to the eyes. They are normal and healthy. Clues of her condition can be gathered from how she looks at her environments around her. She does not make eye contact wit objects or people nor do her pupils shift much. Often times this can result in her appearing to stare at something or someone endlessly.

Her voice is on the husky side but lightened by Ember's typical inquisitive, enthusiastic, and generally happy demeanor.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #C94C33;font-size:14px;color:#120A07;">Personality</div>===

Ember is a person of extremes. She is either quiet and mistrusting, hostile and aggressive, or sweet and affectionate. In new situations or around those she does not know, she can be reserved and suspicious. However, her trust can be easily won by gift-giving, aiding her when she is in need, or providing her with affection. If Ember feels threatened for whatever reason, even if the gesture is relatively mundane or harmless, she will lash out. She is very protective of things she claims as her own and this can extend past just items of value. Most importantly, Ember loves and desires attention. She longs for the approval of others and places extreme importance in impressing others that she has a strong opinion of.

She is curious of almost everything and enjoys actively interacting with people and/or items. Even the smallest things in life can bring her great joy. She can also be stubborn at times, choosing when or when she will not listen to others. However, the more she sees an individual as a superior, the more she will be willing to listen to them. Her solitude can lead her to be insensitive but the well-being of others is a top concern for her. Above all, she is affectionate and seeks happiness through others.

Apart from this, Ember acts on instinct and irrational thought to guide her in decision-making, a product of her upbringing. Often times she is more of a do-er than a thinker. Because of her upbringing, she hasn’t had the advantage of education but more importantly, she hasn’t been mentally stimulated the same way others who have grown up around people have. She did not learn to speak until very late in her life, troubling for her mental development. She is overall not as intelligent as many others for this reason, although she holds no mental conditions. More times than not, though, she is simply ignorant and can make up for her lack of knowledge with cleverness, should the situation call for it.

It is unknown where Ember came from, who her parents are, or when she was born. It is a mystery even to herself. The first sightings and rumors of a wild child, little more than a beast, began passing around in some settlements of Thanalan over a decade ago. The villagers spoke of a young girl who looked and acted like an animal. These early accounts always spoke of her from a distance and described her more as a fairytale or an urban legend than a real child in need of help.

Ember cannot recall a time where the desert was not her home. Parents, friends, social norms, entertainment, man-made amenities, language – all these were not only foreign to her but completely unknown until a short while ago. The majority of her life has been spent roaming and living off the land on her lonesome. Above all else, the need for survival ruled the entirety of her life. Life in the desert is a hard one.

She often took up residence in abandoned buildings or in other similar shelters around Eastern Thanalan. Her lifestyle was nomadic, often traveling to all other areas of Thanalan, except for the north. However, she would always end up returning to the Eastern Thanalan at the end of these journeys.

In this way, her concerns were for food, water, shelter, and safety. Wherever food and water was plentiful would dictate what region of Thanalan she would migrate to. Shelter was necessary to evade the sometimes too overbearing heat. Safety was not only to refrain being killed by other more dangerous creatures, but to overpower them when possible for a required meal. Fun and entertainment was rarely a factor in her life.

As she grew, personal accounts of her in the various villages increased. She grew bolder and became willing to rob farms of their produce and livestock. Still, she remained elusive to capture.

It wasn't until the Calamity occurred that everything changed. The catastrophic event killed a startling number of people and forever changed the landscape of the world. It affected those living in the wilderness just as it had those who dwelled in cities. The result was an injured Ember, badly in need of treatment.

Shortly after the Calamity, search parties person out to retrieve the injured and the dead across the region of Thanalan. It was during this search that a search party from Ul'dah came across Ember. At the time, she was too weak to resist capture and was taken back to the city.

There, she was placed in the care of Menphina's Joy Orphanage. Shortly after her admittance, the orphanage became full and was unable to accept any more children orphaned by the Calamity.

Ember's presence caused quite a stir right from the get-go. After a few days of care, she became conscious enough to turn violent on her saviors. She had never known human interaction and so she turned on them, biting them and scratching them viciously like an animal. She had no restraint which increased the dangers of such a crude method of attack.

[[File:Ember graphite 2.png|200px|thumb|right| A sketch of Ember sent out by Menphina's Joy Orphanage]]

The orphanage endured Ember's uncontrollable and volatile behavior for a long period of time before discussions of casting her out from the orphanage took place. The girl had been unresponsive to kindness and showed no signs of improving her violent behavior. Furthermore, the girl had no education or skills. She could not talk. It was required to restrain her to perform simple tasks such as bathing her, treating her injuries, or getting her to participate in other hygienic care.

It was the emergence of a roegadyn named, Burning Mountain that changed everything. The roegadyn prevented the the girl from being cast out and took her into his own care as a foster father. The man worked long and hard to try and assimilate Ember into social society. It was a long and slow process but one that ended up proving success. Ember began to learn language skills and basic social behavior. She could communicate with other humans without attacking them. She learned 'Hello' , 'Please' , 'Thank you' , and 'Goodbye.'

However, over time Burning Mountain took notice to how Ember pined for her old life back in the wilderness of Thanalan. She had long since recovered and have learned a great deal in that time. Still, she had much to learn, but he would not keep her from her own life. He agreed to release her back into the wild, though they would still occasionally meet to brush up on Ember's language skills.

:<font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font>[[Jericho Lapointe]] : Ember met Jericho at a time of turmoil in his life. In their first meeting, Jericho could not control his magical powers and was unleashing a series of dangerous spells. Ember was able to diffuse him by simply taking his hand and holding it. Ever since then, the two have shared a close bond that has taken a romantic turn. Jericho needs Ember for her positivity and smiles and Ember needs hims for his grounded and supportive nature.

:<font style="color:#F0F078;" size="3">♥</font>[[Brynhilde Wulf]] : At the time Ember met Brynhilde, she was still living on her own in the desert. Brynhilde triggered a chain of events that lead to Ember gradually connecting to other people more and more. It is thanks to the older woman that Ember has been able to find love, family, and friends. She not only sees Brynhilde as her mother but she also sees her as a rolemodel. Because of this, Ember both seeks comfort from Brynhilde as well as a need to impress her. Additionally, in terms of authority, Ember views Brynhilde's word as stone.

:<font style="color:#F0F078;" size="3">♥</font>[[Faolan Woodlock]] : A young man whom she shares quite a few similarities with. Both grew up in the silence of the wilderness, caring for themselves in harsh regions--him in snowy lands and Ember in the arid regions of Thanalan. They share a wanting for others that can feel far away or awkward due to their upbringing in solitude. Because of this, Ember takes a refuge in Faolan's presence where they have an unspoken bond. Although the woodsman often has trouble with being touched, Ember often holds his hand whenever she can.

:<font style="color:#F0F078;" size="3">♥</font>[[Sophia Grave]] : In many ways, Sophia and Ember are vastly different from each other. Sophia has proven a trustworthy ally and companion to Ember. Her very presence brings her great comfort and delight. Sophia is both knowledgeable and a strong opponent--two traits that Ember holds in high regard. In short, Sophia has always been there for her which has made Sophia's recent decisions all the more painful for the young roegadyn who loves and looks up to her like a sister. Recent events have pitted Sophia against the rest of her family--something that has broken Ember's heart.

:<font style="color:#F0F078;" size="3">♥</font>[[Tiergan Vashir]] : Tiergan is like a vastly older brother to Ember. Where she views Zaius as fun, Tiergan is regarded as the more 'parent-like' one in his willingness to scold her. She only sometimes listens to him but recognizes that Tiergan has experience and wisdom that is often invaluable. Perhaps one could question the extent of wisdom a man who has spent much of his life fighting in the arenas could impart. However, it is precisely because of Tiergan's physical aptitude that leads her to such beliefs. With him as a companion to help guide her through several traumatic events, she holds him in high regard. Even if Tiergan can be a bit of a grump, having him around is always a celebration for Ember.

:<font style="color:#F0F078;" size="3">♥</font>[[Zaius Rhal'seer]] : Like Tiergan, Ember views Zaius as a vastly older brother. However, their relationship dynamic differs dramatically. Where Ember thinks Tiergan as stern, Zaius is fun-loving. Long stretches of absence and their brief meetings only serve to heighten her value of him. She has a more affectionate bond with Tiergan but Zaius is the cool older brother whom Ember admires strongly. Intrigued and amazed by his stories of power, Ember holds an immense respect for him by his sheer strength alone. His power, cleverness, dominance, and knowledge make her view him as an ideal rolemodel, alongside Brynhilde. In short, she wants to grow up to be him.

:<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">♥</font>[[Caen Jabari]] : Caen is an upbeat teenaged miqo'te, very recently turned adult. Like Leilani, she sees him as an equal of sorts. Ember likes Caen's positive presence that could dissipate any frown. Despite his positivity, Ember knows it is housed by an inner sadness. She was there when the amnesiac magically received his memories back--of which she has been unable to forget the tragic death of his mother. Ember feels for Caen's loneliness but he always excels in making ::her:: never feel alone. She appreciates how willing he is to touch her and let her touch him. Caen has often forgotten that Ember is blind, to which Ember also fails to realize he does not know due to his willingness to guide her by the hand. She often questions some of his logic, finding some of his reasonings on certain concepts to be strange.

:<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">♥</font>[[Ja'ren A'lenthin]] : Ja'ren came into Ember's life around the time she took residence up in the Goblet. Even when they had first met, they held an amicable relationship. Her opinion of him grew the more she got to know him. The Miqo'te youth has a special type of vision that Ember found fascinating. When they lived together it was common for Ja'ren to make gifts with his crafting skills as well as provide meals for the household. Their relationship grew into one that is akin to that of siblings, with both of them looking out for one another. Ember enjoys pestering him while Ja'ren tolerates it. Recent happenings have hurt her feelings towards him. Even so, he remains dear to her.

:<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">♥</font>[[Leilani Leilai]] : Leilani is a teenaged lalafell girl whom Ember thinks of as an equal, perhaps not in combat, but in her handling of the world. Leilani is chipper and enthusiastic. She is a practitioner of the arts: music, dancing, pies. ( Ember especially likes the pies.) When Ember is with Leilani, she always feels welcome.

:<font style="color:#679AE7;" size="3">♥</font>[[Avenio Naemig]] : First met on a mission to recover a village's missing children, Ember didn't really start to form an opinion of him until they teamed up to rescue [[Faolan Woodlock]] from mysterious monsters. The highlander may not speak much, but he carries his character through his deeds. Avenio aided Ember during some of her most vulnerable points of their most recent mission together. Though she has witnessed a scary side of him, Avenio managed to reassure her.
:<font style="color:#679AE7;" size="3">♥</font>[[Bertrand Irons]]: "Irons" to Ember. Bertrand is a capable, knowledgeable, and dedicated doctor with a warm and friendly demeanor. Bertrand has cared for several of Ember's injuries, a kindness that she is not likely to forget. Without even knowing her, he took a genuine interest in helping her. On top of this, Bertrand helps to boost Ember's confidence by assuring her that her blindness is a strength, not a weakness. He has taken to reading storybooks to her.

:<font style="color:#679AE7;" size="3">♥</font>[[Brave Horizon]] : A fellow roegadyn Hellsguard who has been cut off from society up until recently. This is a history that she shared with Ember, although for differing reasons. Brave is a comforting presence for Ember and perhaps vice versa. Ember views Brave as an equal and therefore someone that she feels she can confide in.

:<font style="color:#679AE7;" size="3">♥</font>[[Chachanji Gegenji]] : For a brief period, Ember had become her old feral self for unknown reasons. Since her transitioning back to normal, Ember remembers the care he had placed in her. His presence is calming and memories of him combing her hair provide a somewhat instinctual interest in his hair. He has a kind and friendly nature that Ember feels she can confide in and look to for aid.

:<font style="color:#679AE7;" size="3">♥</font>[[Daghbheri Himalspyr]] : Or simply "Dog" to Ember. The two first befriended over him gifting a meal to her. Since then, Dogberry has become an adult friend to her. She appreciates his kind, casual, and laidback nature. She finds him to be approachable with interesting topics to discuss.

:<font style="color:#679AE7;" size="3">♥</font>[[Memeli Meli]] : First met at Memeli's own girls' only slumber party, Ember has since then found a friend in the pink lalafell. Memeli is loud, playful, and most of all FUN. It is quite easy to be entertained when she is around. Memeli is also noticeably caring towards her friends. Ember adores it whenever the young woman addresses or acknowledges her. She is convinced that Memeli has sprouted bunny ears due to how consistently they are worn.

:<font style="color:#679AE7;" size="3">♥</font>[[Staelufre Lysmerl]] : Staelufre is a person who often steals much of Ember's interest. The miqo'te woman has some kind of connection to magic that Ember has never known, she tells the most amazing, fun, and informative stories, knows the roegadyn language, and she is often getting into trouble. She is fascinated by every word Staelufre speaks. Ember also sees Staelufre as a person that respects and regards her as an equal, despite Ember viewing her as having superior knowledge of the world.

:<font style="color:#;" size="3">♥</font>[[Virara Wakuwa]] : Virara had also met Ember in her feral state, though she scarcely remembers Virara's presence from that time period. She does, however, remember her and is intrigued by her. They share similarities, both being feral children. They also share a love of food. Ember often misunderstands her customs, especially anything that relates back to Virara's Master. However, Ember greatly respects her fighter's spirit.

:<font style="color:#E6D5D5;" size="3">♥</font>[[Jancis Milburga]] : Ember has had a few meetings with Jancis. Jancis is always polite and kind to Ember. She constantly interprets Jancis' manner of speaking as a sign of the woman holding an unspoken respect and/or affection towards Ember. She is unsure how Jancis knows her but she goes along with it instead of letting it bother her.

:<font style="color:#E6D5D5;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#BEC3BC;" size="3">●</font> [[Teld're Eska'aldren]] : Teld're is an enigma to Ember. She often forgets how she met him or how he knows her. In his mysterious nature, Ember is curious of the extent of his knowledge and power, speculating that he must have a hidden depth of strength that she has not yet witnessed. She is slightly wary of him but has taken a liking to him due him being amiable towards her on a consistent basis. His past as something of a slave and his connection to Tiergan and Staelufre provide her interest in him.

:<font style="color:#BEC3BC;" size="3">●</font>[[Gus Pumpkinweed]] : Met only once. Ember dislikes Gus Pumpkinweed for one simple reason: Her friends do. However, she also views him as skimping out on a promise to give food. (Though in reality he did take an interest in gifting Ember food)

:<font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font>[[Reginald Ozrik]] : Initially mistrustful of him after L'aenoh's accusing him of hurting Staelufre, her first impression of the man was not improved even after the misconceptions had been cleared up. Though perhaps justified in his agitation, after being punched by L'aenoh, Ember took this to represent how Reginald is. His poking fun of the way she spoke particularly struck a self-conscious nerve. Even after he apologized she was unable to forgive him and took the apology further to be an insult.

:<font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font>[[Sebastian Grave]] : Sophia's brother and a source of mistrust for Ember due to her negative first impression of him. She views the young man as aggressive, aloof, and callous. Subsequent meetings have done little to improve her opinion of him despite being mild encounters.

'''Flickering Ember''' is a blind roegadyn hailing from Eastern Thanalan. The girl has accomplished the seemingly impossible by growing up in solitude within the arid region. She is a feral child who has been partially assimilated into society over the course of several years. When she was first discovered in the wilds of Thanalan shortly after the Calamity, she was essentially mute with the exception of a few toddler-like words. Though with often animal-like mannerisms and a lack of understanding towards society and culture, Ember keeps home in The Goblet along with her free company, Aeon.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #C94C33;font-size:14px;color:#120A07;">Physical Description</div>===
Despite her youth, Ember's height matches many of the tallest roegadyns. It is easily her most apparent feature as she towers over most people, including many roegadyns. Her next most recognizable features are her ashy dark skin, fiery red hair, distinctive facial markings, and her odd eyes. Ashy dark skin contrasts with her bright red-orange fiery hair, creating the look of a young woman who encompasses the spirit of the very volcanoes her clan hails from. Her body is marked by several scars she has obtained from her rugged lifestyle. None of these are grisly battle scars, but rather small, faint, and faded ones that are too difficult to notice without staring. Aside from her scars, she has two more noticeable markings elsewhere on her body. The more obvious one is the claw like marking that spreads from one end of her face to another. It appears to be permanently graphed into her skin. The other is runic symbol on her left upper back, just over where her heart is. It is clearly of a magical nature with its glowing chill blue and intricate design.

Aside from height, Ember lives up to another of her race's features with her muscular build. A lifestyle of hunting and surviving with no one to depend on but herself has kept her physically strong. However, she is not as well chiseled as an experienced, fully grown roegadyn warrior. Ember's weight can fluctuate as well depending on her current living situations. Much of the time her friends and family provide her with food, something on which Ember indulges on without limit. This helps her put on some much needed fat. Overall, she is a muscular, physically strong girl who could still use some toughening up to reach her full potential.

Ember's eyes are another item of note. The young woman is blind though she is without cataracts or any noticeable injury to the eyes. They are normal and healthy. Clues of her condition can be gathered from how she looks at her environments around her. She does not make eye contact wit objects or people nor do her pupils shift much. Often times this can result in her appearing to stare at something or someone endlessly.

Her voice is on the husky side but lightened by Ember's typical inquisitive, enthusiastic, and generally happy demeanor.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #C94C33;font-size:14px;color:#120A07;">Personality</div>===

Ember is a person of extremes. She is either quiet and mistrusting, hostile and aggressive, or sweet and affectionate. In new situations or around those she does not know, she can be reserved and suspicious. However, her trust can be easily won by gift-giving, aiding her when she is in need, or providing her with affection. If Ember feels threatened for whatever reason, even if the gesture is relatively mundane or harmless, she will lash out. She is very protective of things she claims as her own and this can extend past just items of value. Most importantly, Ember loves and desires attention. She longs for the approval of others and places extreme importance in impressing others that she has a strong opinion of.

She is curious of almost everything and enjoys actively interacting with people and/or items. Even the smallest things in life can bring her great joy. She can also be stubborn at times, choosing when or when she will not listen to others. However, the more she sees an individual as a superior, the more she will be willing to listen to them. Her solitude can lead her to be insensitive but the well-being of others is a top concern for her. Above all, she is affectionate and seeks happiness through others.

Apart from this, Ember acts on instinct and irrational thought to guide her in decision-making, a product of her upbringing. Often times she is more of a do-er than a thinker. Because of her upbringing, she hasn’t had the advantage of education but more importantly, she hasn’t been mentally stimulated the same way others who have grown up around people have. She did not learn to speak until very late in her life, troubling for her mental development. She is overall not as intelligent as many others for this reason, although she holds no mental conditions. More times than not, though, she is simply ignorant and can make up for her lack of knowledge with cleverness, should the situation call for it.

It is unknown where Ember came from, who her parents are, or when she was born. It is a mystery even to herself. The first sightings and rumors of a wild child, little more than a beast, began passing around in some settlements of Thanalan over a decade ago. The villagers spoke of a young girl who looked and acted like an animal. These early accounts always spoke of her from a distance and described her more as a fairytale or an urban legend than a real child in need of help.

Ember cannot recall a time where the desert was not her home. Parents, friends, social norms, entertainment, man-made amenities, language – all these were not only foreign to her but completely unknown until a short while ago. The majority of her life has been spent roaming and living off the land on her lonesome. Above all else, the need for survival ruled the entirety of her life. Life in the desert is a hard one.

She often took up residence in abandoned buildings or in other similar shelters around Eastern Thanalan. Her lifestyle was nomadic, often traveling to all other areas of Thanalan, except for the north. However, she would always end up returning to the Eastern Thanalan at the end of these journeys.

In this way, her concerns were for food, water, shelter, and safety. Wherever food and water was plentiful would dictate what region of Thanalan she would migrate to. Shelter was necessary to evade the sometimes too overbearing heat. Safety was not only to refrain being killed by other more dangerous creatures, but to overpower them when possible for a required meal. Fun and entertainment was rarely a factor in her life.

As she grew, personal accounts of her in the various villages increased. She grew bolder and became willing to rob farms of their produce and livestock. Still, she remained elusive to capture.

It wasn't until the Calamity occurred that everything changed. The catastrophic event killed a startling number of people and forever changed the landscape of the world. It affected those living in the wilderness just as it had those who dwelled in cities. The result was an injured Ember, badly in need of treatment.

Shortly after the Calamity, search parties person out to retrieve the injured and the dead across the region of Thanalan. It was during this search that a search party from Ul'dah came across Ember. At the time, she was too weak to resist capture and was taken back to the city.

There, she was placed in the care of Menphina's Joy Orphanage. Shortly after her admittance, the orphanage became full and was unable to accept any more children orphaned by the Calamity.

Ember's presence caused quite a stir right from the get-go. After a few days of care, she became conscious enough to turn violent on her saviors. She had never known human interaction and so she turned on them, biting them and scratching them viciously like an animal. She had no restraint which increased the dangers of such a crude method of attack.

[[File:Ember graphite 2.png|200px|thumb|right| A sketch of Ember sent out by Menphina's Joy Orphanage]]

The orphanage endured Ember's uncontrollable and volatile behavior for a long period of time before discussions of casting her out from the orphanage took place. The girl had been unresponsive to kindness and showed no signs of improving her violent behavior. Furthermore, the girl had no education or skills. She could not talk. It was required to restrain her to perform simple tasks such as bathing her, treating her injuries, or getting her to participate in other hygienic care.

It was the emergence of a roegadyn named, Burning Mountain that changed everything. The roegadyn prevented the the girl from being cast out and took her into his own care as a foster father. The man worked long and hard to try and assimilate Ember into social society. It was a long and slow process but one that ended up proving success. Ember began to learn language skills and basic social behavior. She could communicate with other humans without attacking them. She learned 'Hello' , 'Please' , 'Thank you' , and 'Goodbye.'

However, over time Burning Mountain took notice to how Ember pined for her old life back in the wilderness of Thanalan. She had long since recovered and have learned a great deal in that time. Still, she had much to learn, but he would not keep her from her own life. He agreed to release her back into the wild, though they would still occasionally meet to brush up on Ember's language skills.

:<font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font>[[Jericho Lapointe]] : Ember met Jericho at a time of turmoil in his life. In their first meeting, Jericho could not control his magical powers and was unleashing a series of dangerous spells. Ember was able to diffuse him by simply taking his hand and holding it. Ever since then, the two have shared a close bond that has taken a romantic turn. Jericho needs Ember for her positivity and smiles and Ember needs hims for his grounded and supportive nature.

:<font style="color:#F0F078;" size="3">♥</font>[[Brynhilde Wulf]] : At the time Ember met Brynhilde, she was still living on her own in the desert. Brynhilde triggered a chain of events that lead to Ember gradually connecting to other people more and more. It is thanks to the older woman that Ember has been able to find love, family, and friends. She not only sees Brynhilde as her mother but she also sees her as a rolemodel. Because of this, Ember both seeks comfort from Brynhilde as well as a need to impress her. Additionally, in terms of authority, Ember views Brynhilde's word as stone.

:<font style="color:#F0F078;" size="3">♥</font>[[Faolan Woodlock]] : A young man whom she shares quite a few similarities with. Both grew up in the silence of the wilderness, caring for themselves in harsh regions--him in snowy lands and Ember in the arid regions of Thanalan. They share a wanting for others that can feel far away or awkward due to their upbringing in solitude. Because of this, Ember takes a refuge in Faolan's presence where they have an unspoken bond. Although the woodsman often has trouble with being touched, Ember often holds his hand whenever she can.

:<font style="color:#F0F078;" size="3">♥</font>[[Sophia Grave]] : In many ways, Sophia and Ember are vastly different from each other. Sophia has proven a trustworthy ally and companion to Ember. Her very presence brings her great comfort and delight. Sophia is both knowledgeable and a strong opponent--two traits that Ember holds in high regard. In short, Sophia has always been there for her which has made Sophia's recent decisions all the more painful for the young roegadyn who loves and looks up to her like a sister. Recent events have pitted Sophia against the rest of her family--something that has broken Ember's heart.

:<font style="color:#F0F078;" size="3">♥</font>[[Tiergan Vashir]] : Tiergan is like a vastly older brother to Ember. Where she views Zaius as fun, Tiergan is regarded as the more 'parent-like' one in his willingness to scold her. She only sometimes listens to him but recognizes that Tiergan has experience and wisdom that is often invaluable. Perhaps one could question the extent of wisdom a man who has spent much of his life fighting in the arenas could impart. However, it is precisely because of Tiergan's physical aptitude that leads her to such beliefs. With him as a companion to help guide her through several traumatic events, she holds him in high regard. Even if Tiergan can be a bit of a grump, having him around is always a celebration for Ember.

:<font style="color:#F0F078;" size="3">♥</font>[[Zaius Rhal'seer]] : Like Tiergan, Ember views Zaius as a vastly older brother. However, their relationship dynamic differs dramatically. Where Ember thinks Tiergan as stern, Zaius is fun-loving. Long stretches of absence and their brief meetings only serve to heighten her value of him. She has a more affectionate bond with Tiergan but Zaius is the cool older brother whom Ember admires strongly. Intrigued and amazed by his stories of power, Ember holds an immense respect for him by his sheer strength alone. His power, cleverness, dominance, and knowledge make her view him as an ideal rolemodel, alongside Brynhilde. In short, she wants to grow up to be him.

:<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">♥</font>[[Caen Jabari]] : Caen is an upbeat teenaged miqo'te, very recently turned adult. Like Leilani, she sees him as an equal of sorts. Ember likes Caen's positive presence that could dissipate any frown. Despite his positivity, Ember knows it is housed by an inner sadness. She was there when the amnesiac magically received his memories back--of which she has been unable to forget the tragic death of his mother. Ember feels for Caen's loneliness but he always excels in making ::her:: never feel alone. She appreciates how willing he is to touch her and let her touch him. Caen has often forgotten that Ember is blind, to which Ember also fails to realize he does not know due to his willingness to guide her by the hand. She often questions some of his logic, finding some of his reasonings on certain concepts to be strange.

:<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">♥</font>[[Ja'ren A'lenthin]] : Ja'ren came into Ember's life around the time she took residence up in the Goblet. Even when they had first met, they held an amicable relationship. Her opinion of him grew the more she got to know him. The Miqo'te youth has a special type of vision that Ember found fascinating. When they lived together it was common for Ja'ren to make gifts with his crafting skills as well as provide meals for the household. Their relationship grew into one that is akin to that of siblings, with both of them looking out for one another. Ember enjoys pestering him while Ja'ren tolerates it. Recent happenings have hurt her feelings towards him. Even so, he remains dear to her.

:<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">♥</font>[[Leilani Leilai]] : Leilani is a teenaged lalafell girl whom Ember thinks of as an equal, perhaps not in combat, but in her handling of the world. Leilani is chipper and enthusiastic. She is a practitioner of the arts: music, dancing, pies. ( Ember especially likes the pies.) When Ember is with Leilani, she always feels welcome.

:<font style="color:#679AE7;" size="3">♥</font>[[Avenio Naemig]] : First met on a mission to recover a village's missing children, Ember didn't really start to form an opinion of him until they teamed up to rescue [[Faolan Woodlock]] from mysterious monsters. The highlander may not speak much, but he carries his character through his deeds. Avenio aided Ember during some of her most vulnerable points of their most recent mission together. Though she has witnessed a scary side of him, Avenio managed to reassure her.
:<font style="color:#679AE7;" size="3">♥</font>[[Bertrand Irons]]: "Irons" to Ember. Bertrand is a capable, knowledgeable, and dedicated doctor with a warm and friendly demeanor. Bertrand has cared for several of Ember's injuries, a kindness that she is not likely to forget. Without even knowing her, he took a genuine interest in helping her. On top of this, Bertrand helps to boost Ember's confidence by assuring her that her blindness is a strength, not a weakness. He has taken to reading storybooks to her.

:<font style="color:#679AE7;" size="3">♥</font>[[Brave Horizon]] : A fellow roegadyn Hellsguard who has been cut off from society up until recently. This is a history that she shared with Ember, although for differing reasons. Brave is a comforting presence for Ember and perhaps vice versa. Ember views Brave as an equal and therefore someone that she feels she can confide in.

:<font style="color:#679AE7;" size="3">♥</font>[[Chachanji Gegenji]] : For a brief period, Ember had become her old feral self for unknown reasons. Since her transitioning back to normal, Ember remembers the care he had placed in her. His presence is calming and memories of him combing her hair provide a somewhat instinctual interest in his hair. He has a kind and friendly nature that Ember feels she can confide in and look to for aid.

:<font style="color:#679AE7;" size="3">♥</font>[[Daghbheri Himalspyr]] : Or simply "Dog" to Ember. The two first befriended over him gifting a meal to her. Since then, Dogberry has become an adult friend to her. She appreciates his kind, casual, and laidback nature. She finds him to be approachable with interesting topics to discuss.

:<font style="color:#679AE7;" size="3">♥</font>[[Memeli Meli]] : First met at Memeli's own girls' only slumber party, Ember has since then found a friend in the pink lalafell. Memeli is loud, playful, and most of all FUN. It is quite easy to be entertained when she is around. Memeli is also noticeably caring towards her friends. Ember adores it whenever the young woman addresses or acknowledges her. She is convinced that Memeli has sprouted bunny ears due to how consistently they are worn.

:<font style="color:#679AE7;" size="3">♥</font>[[Staelufre Lysmerl]] : Staelufre is a person who often steals much of Ember's interest. The miqo'te woman has some kind of connection to magic that Ember has never known, she tells the most amazing, fun, and informative stories, knows the roegadyn language, and she is often getting into trouble. She is fascinated by every word Staelufre speaks. Ember also sees Staelufre as a person that respects and regards her as an equal, despite Ember viewing her as having superior knowledge of the world.

:<font style="color:#;" size="3">♥</font>[[Virara Wakuwa]] : Virara had also met Ember in her feral state, though she scarcely remembers Virara's presence from that time period. She does, however, remember her and is intrigued by her. They share similarities, both being feral children. They also share a love of food. Ember often misunderstands her customs, especially anything that relates back to Virara's Master. However, Ember greatly respects her fighter's spirit.

:<font style="color:#E6D5D5;" size="3">♥</font>[[Jancis Milburga]] : Ember has had a few meetings with Jancis. Jancis is always polite and kind to Ember. She constantly interprets Jancis' manner of speaking as a sign of the woman holding an unspoken respect and/or affection towards Ember. She is unsure how Jancis knows her but she goes along with it instead of letting it bother her.

:<font style="color:#E6D5D5;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#BEC3BC;" size="3">●</font> [[Teld're Eska'aldren]] : Teld're is an enigma to Ember. She often forgets how she met him or how he knows her. In his mysterious nature, Ember is curious of the extent of his knowledge and power, speculating that he must have a hidden depth of strength that she has not yet witnessed. She is slightly wary of him but has taken a liking to him due him being amiable towards her on a consistent basis. His past as something of a slave and his connection to Tiergan and Staelufre provide her interest in him.

:<font style="color:#BEC3BC;" size="3">●</font>[[Gus Pumpkinweed]] : Met only once. Ember dislikes Gus Pumpkinweed for one simple reason: Her friends do. However, she also views him as skimping out on a promise to give food. (Though in reality he did take an interest in gifting Ember food)

:<font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font>[[Reginald Ozrik]] : Initially mistrustful of him after L'aenoh's accusing him of hurting Staelufre, her first impression of the man was not improved even after the misconceptions had been cleared up. Though perhaps justified in his agitation, after being punched by L'aenoh, Ember took this to represent how Reginald is. His poking fun of the way she spoke particularly struck a self-conscious nerve. Even after he apologized she was unable to forgive him and took the apology further to be an insult.

:<font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font>[[Sebastian Grave]] : Sophia's brother and a source of mistrust for Ember due to her negative first impression of him. She views the young man as aggressive, aloof, and callous. Subsequent meetings have done little to improve her opinion of him despite being mild encounters.

'''Flickering Ember''' is a blind roegadyn hailing from Eastern Thanalan. The girl has accomplished the seemingly impossible by growing up in solitude within the arid region. She is a feral child who has been partially assimilated into society over the course of several years. When she was first discovered in the wilds of Thanalan shortly after the Calamity, she was essentially mute with the exception of a few toddler-like words. Though with often animal-like mannerisms and a lack of understanding towards society and culture, Ember keeps home in The Goblet along with her free company, Aeon.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #C94C33;font-size:14px;color:#120A07;">Physical Description</div>===
Despite her youth, Ember's height matches many of the tallest roegadyns. It is easily her most apparent feature as she towers over most people, including many roegadyns. Her next most recognizable features are her ashy dark skin, fiery red hair, distinctive facial markings, and her odd eyes. Ashy dark skin contrasts with her bright red-orange fiery hair, creating the look of a young woman who encompasses the spirit of the very volcanoes her clan hails from. Her body is marked by several scars she has obtained from her rugged lifestyle. None of these are grisly battle scars, but rather small, faint, and faded ones that are too difficult to notice without staring. Aside from her scars, she has two more noticeable markings elsewhere on her body. The more obvious one is the claw like marking that spreads from one end of her face to another. It appears to be permanently graphed into her skin. The other is runic symbol on her left upper back, just over where her heart is. It is clearly of a magical nature with its glowing chill blue and intricate design.

Aside from height, Ember lives up to another of her race's features with her muscular build. A lifestyle of hunting and surviving with no one to depend on but herself has kept her physically strong. However, she is not as well chiseled as an experienced, fully grown roegadyn warrior. Ember's weight can fluctuate as well depending on her current living situations. Much of the time her friends and family provide her with food, something on which Ember indulges on without limit. This helps her put on some much needed fat. Overall, she is a muscular, physically strong girl who could still use some toughening up to reach her full potential.

Ember's eyes are another item of note. The young woman is blind though she is without cataracts or any noticeable injury to the eyes. They are normal and healthy. Clues of her condition can be gathered from how she looks at her environments around her. She does not make eye contact wit objects or people nor do her pupils shift much. Often times this can result in her appearing to stare at something or someone endlessly.

Her voice is on the husky side but lightened by Ember's typical inquisitive, enthusiastic, and generally happy demeanor.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #C94C33;font-size:14px;color:#120A07;">Personality</div>===

Ember is a person of extremes. She is either quiet and mistrusting, hostile and aggressive, or sweet and affectionate. In new situations or around those she does not know, she can be reserved and suspicious. However, her trust can be easily won by gift-giving, aiding her when she is in need, or providing her with affection. If Ember feels threatened for whatever reason, even if the gesture is relatively mundane or harmless, she will lash out. She is very protective of things she claims as her own and this can extend past just items of value. Most importantly, Ember loves and desires attention. She longs for the approval of others and places extreme importance in impressing others that she has a strong opinion of.

She is curious of almost everything and enjoys actively interacting with people and/or items. Even the smallest things in life can bring her great joy. She can also be stubborn at times, choosing when or when she will not listen to others. However, the more she sees an individual as a superior, the more she will be willing to listen to them. Her solitude can lead her to be insensitive but the well-being of others is a top concern for her. Above all, she is affectionate and seeks happiness through others.

Apart from this, Ember acts on instinct and irrational thought to guide her in decision-making, a product of her upbringing. Often times she is more of a do-er than a thinker. Because of her upbringing, she hasn’t had the advantage of education but more importantly, she hasn’t been mentally stimulated the same way others who have grown up around people have. She did not learn to speak until very late in her life, troubling for her mental development. She is overall not as intelligent as many others for this reason, although she holds no mental conditions. More times than not, though, she is simply ignorant and can make up for her lack of knowledge with cleverness, should the situation call for it.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #C94C33;font-size:14px;color:#120A07;">Background</div>===

It is unknown where Ember came from, who her parents are, or when she was born. It is a mystery even to herself. The first sightings and rumors of a wild child, little more than a beast, began passing around in some settlements of Thanalan over a decade ago. The villagers spoke of a young girl who looked and acted like an animal. These early accounts always spoke of her from a distance and described her more as a fairytale or an urban legend than a real child in need of help.

Ember cannot recall a time where the desert was not her home. Parents, friends, social norms, entertainment, man-made amenities, language – all these were not only foreign to her but completely unknown until a short while ago. The majority of her life has been spent roaming and living off the land on her lonesome. Above all else, the need for survival ruled the entirety of her life. Life in the desert is a hard one.

She often took up residence in abandoned buildings or in other similar shelters around Eastern Thanalan. Her lifestyle was nomadic, often traveling to all other areas of Thanalan, except for the north. However, she would always end up returning to the Eastern Thanalan at the end of these journeys.

In this way, her concerns were for food, water, shelter, and safety. Wherever food and water was plentiful would dictate what region of Thanalan she would migrate to. Shelter was necessary to evade the sometimes too overbearing heat. Safety was not only to refrain being killed by other more dangerous creatures, but to overpower them when possible for a required meal. Fun and entertainment was rarely a factor in her life.

As she grew, personal accounts of her in the various villages increased. She grew bolder and became willing to rob farms of their produce and livestock. Still, she remained elusive to capture.

It wasn't until the Calamity occurred that everything changed. The catastrophic event killed a startling number of people and forever changed the landscape of the world. It affected those living in the wilderness just as it had those who dwelled in cities. The result was an injured Ember, badly in need of treatment.

Shortly after the Calamity, search parties person out to retrieve the injured and the dead across the region of Thanalan. It was during this search that a search party from Ul'dah came across Ember. At the time, she was too weak to resist capture and was taken back to the city.

There, she was placed in the care of Menphina's Joy Orphanage. Shortly after her admittance, the orphanage became full and was unable to accept any more children orphaned by the Calamity.

Ember's presence caused quite a stir right from the get-go. After a few days of care, she became conscious enough to turn violent on her saviors. She had never known human interaction and so she turned on them, biting them and scratching them viciously like an animal. She had no restraint which increased the dangers of such a crude method of attack.

The orphanage endured Ember's uncontrollable and volatile behavior for a long period of time before discussions of casting her out from the orphanage took place. The girl had been unresponsive to kindness and showed no signs of improving her violent behavior. Furthermore, the girl had no education or skills. She could not talk. It was required to restrain her to perform simple tasks such as bathing her, treating her injuries, or getting her to participate in other hygienic care.

It was the emergence of a roegadyn named, Burning Mountain that changed everything. The roegadyn prevented the the girl from being cast out and took her into his own care as a foster father. The man worked long and hard to try and assimilate Ember into social society. It was a long and slow process but one that ended up proving success. Ember began to learn language skills and basic social behavior. She could communicate with other humans without attacking them. She learned 'Hello' , 'Please' , 'Thank you' , and 'Goodbye.'

However, over time Burning Mountain took notice to how Ember pined for her old life back in the wilderness of Thanalan. She had long since recovered and have learned a great deal in that time. Still, she had much to learn, but he would not keep her from her own life. He agreed to release her back into the wild, though they would still occasionally meet to brush up on Ember's language skills.

:<font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font>[[Jericho Lapointe]] : Ember met Jericho at a time of turmoil in his life. In their first meeting, Jericho could not control his magical powers and was unleashing a series of dangerous spells. Ember was able to diffuse him by simply taking his hand and holding it. Ever since then, the two have shared a close bond that has taken a romantic turn. Jericho needs Ember for her positivity and smiles and Ember needs hims for his grounded and supportive nature.

:<font style="color:#F0F078;" size="3">♥</font>[[Brynhilde Wulf]] : At the time Ember met Brynhilde, she was still living on her own in the desert. Brynhilde triggered a chain of events that lead to Ember gradually connecting to other people more and more. It is thanks to the older woman that Ember has been able to find love, family, and friends. She not only sees Brynhilde as her mother but she also sees her as a rolemodel. Because of this, Ember both seeks comfort from Brynhilde as well as a need to impress her. Additionally, in terms of authority, Ember views Brynhilde's word as stone.

:<font style="color:#F0F078;" size="3">♥</font>[[Faolan Woodlock]] : A young man whom she shares quite a few similarities with. Both grew up in the silence of the wilderness, caring for themselves in harsh regions--him in snowy lands and Ember in the arid regions of Thanalan. They share a wanting for others that can feel far away or awkward due to their upbringing in solitude. Because of this, Ember takes a refuge in Faolan's presence where they have an unspoken bond. Although the woodsman often has trouble with being touched, Ember often holds his hand whenever she can.

:<font style="color:#F0F078;" size="3">♥</font>[[Sophia Grave]] : In many ways, Sophia and Ember are vastly different from each other. Sophia has proven a trustworthy ally and companion to Ember. Her very presence brings her great comfort and delight. Sophia is both knowledgeable and a strong opponent--two traits that Ember holds in high regard. In short, Sophia has always been there for her which has made Sophia's recent decisions all the more painful for the young roegadyn who loves and looks up to her like a sister. Recent events have pitted Sophia against the rest of her family--something that has broken Ember's heart.

:<font style="color:#F0F078;" size="3">♥</font>[[Tiergan Vashir]] : Tiergan is like a vastly older brother to Ember. Where she views Zaius as fun, Tiergan is regarded as the more 'parent-like' one in his willingness to scold her. She only sometimes listens to him but recognizes that Tiergan has experience and wisdom that is often invaluable. Perhaps one could question the extent of wisdom a man who has spent much of his life fighting in the arenas could impart. However, it is precisely because of Tiergan's physical aptitude that leads her to such beliefs. With him as a companion to help guide her through several traumatic events, she holds him in high regard. Even if Tiergan can be a bit of a grump, having him around is always a celebration for Ember.

:<font style="color:#F0F078;" size="3">♥</font>[[Zaius Rhal'seer]] : Like Tiergan, Ember views Zaius as a vastly older brother. However, their relationship dynamic differs dramatically. Where Ember thinks Tiergan as stern, Zaius is fun-loving. Long stretches of absence and their brief meetings only serve to heighten her value of him. She has a more affectionate bond with Tiergan but Zaius is the cool older brother whom Ember admires strongly. Intrigued and amazed by his stories of power, Ember holds an immense respect for him by his sheer strength alone. His power, cleverness, dominance, and knowledge make her view him as an ideal rolemodel, alongside Brynhilde. In short, she wants to grow up to be him.

:<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">♥</font>[[Caen Jabari]] : Caen is an upbeat teenaged miqo'te, very recently turned adult. Like Leilani, she sees him as an equal of sorts. Ember likes Caen's positive presence that could dissipate any frown. Despite his positivity, Ember knows it is housed by an inner sadness. She was there when the amnesiac magically received his memories back--of which she has been unable to forget the tragic death of his mother. Ember feels for Caen's loneliness but he always excels in making ::her:: never feel alone. She appreciates how willing he is to touch her and let her touch him. Caen has often forgotten that Ember is blind, to which Ember also fails to realize he does not know due to his willingness to guide her by the hand. She often questions some of his logic, finding some of his reasonings on certain concepts to be strange.

:<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">♥</font>[[Ja'ren A'lenthin]] : Ja'ren came into Ember's life around the time she took residence up in the Goblet. Even when they had first met, they held an amicable relationship. Her opinion of him grew the more she got to know him. The Miqo'te youth has a special type of vision that Ember found fascinating. When they lived together it was common for Ja'ren to make gifts with his crafting skills as well as provide meals for the household. Their relationship grew into one that is akin to that of siblings, with both of them looking out for one another. Ember enjoys pestering him while Ja'ren tolerates it. Recent happenings have hurt her feelings towards him. Even so, he remains dear to her.

:<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">♥</font>[[Leilani Leilai]] : Leilani is a teenaged lalafell girl whom Ember thinks of as an equal, perhaps not in combat, but in her handling of the world. Leilani is chipper and enthusiastic. She is a practitioner of the arts: music, dancing, pies. ( Ember especially likes the pies.) When Ember is with Leilani, she always feels welcome.

:<font style="color:#679AE7;" size="3">♥</font>[[Avenio Naemig]] : First met on a mission to recover a village's missing children, Ember didn't really start to form an opinion of him until they teamed up to rescue [[Faolan Woodlock]] from mysterious monsters. The highlander may not speak much, but he carries his character through his deeds. Avenio aided Ember during some of her most vulnerable points of their most recent mission together. Though she has witnessed a scary side of him, Avenio managed to reassure her.
:<font style="color:#679AE7;" size="3">♥</font>[[Bertrand Irons]]: "Irons" to Ember. Bertrand is a capable, knowledgeable, and dedicated doctor with a warm and friendly demeanor. Bertrand has cared for several of Ember's injuries, a kindness that she is not likely to forget. Without even knowing her, he took a genuine interest in helping her. On top of this, Bertrand helps to boost Ember's confidence by assuring her that her blindness is a strength, not a weakness. He has taken to reading storybooks to her.

:<font style="color:#679AE7;" size="3">♥</font>[[Brave Horizon]] : A fellow roegadyn Hellsguard who has been cut off from society up until recently. This is a history that she shared with Ember, although for differing reasons. Brave is a comforting presence for Ember and perhaps vice versa. Ember views Brave as an equal and therefore someone that she feels she can confide in.

:<font style="color:#679AE7;" size="3">♥</font>[[Chachanji Gegenji]] : For a brief period, Ember had become her old feral self for unknown reasons. Since her transitioning back to normal, Ember remembers the care he had placed in her. His presence is calming and memories of him combing her hair provide a somewhat instinctual interest in his hair. He has a kind and friendly nature that Ember feels she can confide in and look to for aid.

:<font style="color:#679AE7;" size="3">♥</font>[[Daghbheri Himalspyr]] : Or simply "Dog" to Ember. The two first befriended over him gifting a meal to her. Since then, Dogberry has become an adult friend to her. She appreciates his kind, casual, and laidback nature. She finds him to be approachable with interesting topics to discuss.

:<font style="color:#679AE7;" size="3">♥</font>[[Memeli Meli]] : First met at Memeli's own girls' only slumber party, Ember has since then found a friend in the pink lalafell. Memeli is loud, playful, and most of all FUN. It is quite easy to be entertained when she is around. Memeli is also noticeably caring towards her friends. Ember adores it whenever the young woman addresses or acknowledges her. She is convinced that Memeli has sprouted bunny ears due to how consistently they are worn.

:<font style="color:#679AE7;" size="3">♥</font>[[Staelufre Lysmerl]] : Staelufre is a person who often steals much of Ember's interest. The miqo'te woman has some kind of connection to magic that Ember has never known, she tells the most amazing, fun, and informative stories, knows the roegadyn language, and she is often getting into trouble. She is fascinated by every word Staelufre speaks. Ember also sees Staelufre as a person that respects and regards her as an equal, despite Ember viewing her as having superior knowledge of the world.

:<font style="color:#;" size="3">♥</font>[[Virara Wakuwa]] : Virara had also met Ember in her feral state, though she scarcely remembers Virara's presence from that time period. She does, however, remember her and is intrigued by her. They share similarities, both being feral children. They also share a love of food. Ember often misunderstands her customs, especially anything that relates back to Virara's Master. However, Ember greatly respects her fighter's spirit.

:<font style="color:#E6D5D5;" size="3">♥</font>[[Jancis Milburga]] : Ember has had a few meetings with Jancis. Jancis is always polite and kind to Ember. She constantly interprets Jancis' manner of speaking as a sign of the woman holding an unspoken respect and/or affection towards Ember. She is unsure how Jancis knows her but she goes along with it instead of letting it bother her.

:<font style="color:#E6D5D5;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#BEC3BC;" size="3">●</font> [[Teld're Eska'aldren]] : Teld're is an enigma to Ember. She often forgets how she met him or how he knows her. In his mysterious nature, Ember is curious of the extent of his knowledge and power, speculating that he must have a hidden depth of strength that she has not yet witnessed. She is slightly wary of him but has taken a liking to him due him being amiable towards her on a consistent basis. His past as something of a slave and his connection to Tiergan and Staelufre provide her interest in him.

:<font style="color:#BEC3BC;" size="3">●</font>[[Gus Pumpkinweed]] : Met only once. Ember dislikes Gus Pumpkinweed for one simple reason: Her friends do. However, she also views him as skimping out on a promise to give food. (Though in reality he did take an interest in gifting Ember food)

:<font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font>[[Reginald Ozrik]] : Initially mistrustful of him after L'aenoh's accusing him of hurting Staelufre, her first impression of the man was not improved even after the misconceptions had been cleared up. Though perhaps justified in his agitation, after being punched by L'aenoh, Ember took this to represent how Reginald is. His poking fun of the way she spoke particularly struck a self-conscious nerve. Even after he apologized she was unable to forgive him and took the apology further to be an insult.

:<font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font>[[Sebastian Grave]] : Sophia's brother and a source of mistrust for Ember due to her negative first impression of him. She views the young man as aggressive, aloof, and callous. Subsequent meetings have done little to improve her opinion of him despite being mild encounters.

'''Flickering Ember''' is a blind roegadyn hailing from Eastern Thanalan. The girl has accomplished the seemingly impossible by growing up in solitude within the arid region. She is a feral child who has been partially assimilated into society over the course of several years. When she was first discovered in the wilds of Thanalan shortly after the Calamity, she was essentially mute with the exception of a few toddler-like words. Though with often animal-like mannerisms and a lack of understanding towards society and culture, Ember keeps home in The Goblet along with her free company, Aeon.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #C94C33;font-size:14px;color:#120A07;">Physical Description</div>===
Despite her youth, Ember's height matches many of the tallest roegadyns. It is easily her most apparent feature as she towers over most people, including many roegadyns. Her next most recognizable features are her ashy dark skin, fiery red hair, distinctive facial markings, and her odd eyes. Ashy dark skin contrasts with her bright red-orange fiery hair, creating the look of a young woman who encompasses the spirit of the very volcanoes her clan hails from. Her body is marked by several scars she has obtained from her rugged lifestyle. None of these are grisly battle scars, but rather small, faint, and faded ones that are too difficult to notice without staring. Aside from her scars, she has two more noticeable markings elsewhere on her body. The more obvious one is the claw like marking that spreads from one end of her face to another. It appears to be permanently graphed into her skin. The other is runic symbol on her left upper back, just over where her heart is. It is clearly of a magical nature with its glowing chill blue and intricate design.

Aside from height, Ember lives up to another of her race's features with her muscular build. A lifestyle of hunting and surviving with no one to depend on but herself has kept her physically strong. However, she is not as well chiseled as an experienced, fully grown roegadyn warrior. Ember's weight can fluctuate as well depending on her current living situations. Much of the time her friends and family provide her with food, something on which Ember indulges on without limit. This helps her put on some much needed fat. Overall, she is a muscular, physically strong girl who could still use some toughening up to reach her full potential.

Ember's eyes are another item of note. The young woman is blind though she is without cataracts or any noticeable injury to the eyes. They are normal and healthy. Clues of her condition can be gathered from how she looks at her environments around her. She does not make eye contact wit objects or people nor do her pupils shift much. Often times this can result in her appearing to stare at something or someone endlessly.

Her voice is on the husky side but lightened by Ember's typical inquisitive, enthusiastic, and generally happy demeanor.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #C94C33;font-size:14px;color:#120A07;">Personality</div>===

Ember is a person of extremes. She is either quiet and mistrusting, hostile and aggressive, or sweet and affectionate. In new situations or around those she does not know, she can be reserved and suspicious. However, her trust can be easily won by gift-giving, aiding her when she is in need, or providing her with affection. If Ember feels threatened for whatever reason, even if the gesture is relatively mundane or harmless, she will lash out. She is very protective of things she claims as her own and this can extend past just items of value. Most importantly, Ember loves and desires attention. She longs for the approval of others and places extreme importance in impressing others that she has a strong opinion of.

She is curious of almost everything and enjoys actively interacting with people and/or items. Even the smallest things in life can bring her great joy. She can also be stubborn at times, choosing when or when she will not listen to others. However, the more she sees an individual as a superior, the more she will be willing to listen to them. Her solitude can lead her to be insensitive but the well-being of others is a top concern for her. Above all, she is affectionate and seeks happiness through others.

Apart from this, Ember acts on instinct and irrational thought to guide her in decision-making, a product of her upbringing. Often times she is more of a do-er than a thinker. Because of her upbringing, she hasn’t had the advantage of education but more importantly, she hasn’t been mentally stimulated the same way others who have grown up around people have. She did not learn to speak until very late in her life, troubling for her mental development. She is overall not as intelligent as many others for this reason, although she holds no mental conditions. More times than not, though, she is simply ignorant and can make up for her lack of knowledge with cleverness, should the situation call for it.

:<font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font>[[Jericho Lapointe]] : Ember met Jericho at a time of turmoil in his life. In their first meeting, Jericho could not control his magical powers and was unleashing a series of dangerous spells. Ember was able to diffuse him by simply taking his hand and holding it. Ever since then, the two have shared a close bond that has taken a romantic turn. Jericho needs Ember for her positivity and smiles and Ember needs hims for his grounded and supportive nature.

:<font style="color:#F0F078;" size="3">♥</font>[[Brynhilde Wulf]] : At the time Ember met Brynhilde, she was still living on her own in the desert. Brynhilde triggered a chain of events that lead to Ember gradually connecting to other people more and more. It is thanks to the older woman that Ember has been able to find love, family, and friends. She not only sees Brynhilde as her mother but she also sees her as a rolemodel. Because of this, Ember both seeks comfort from Brynhilde as well as a need to impress her. Additionally, in terms of authority, Ember views Brynhilde's word as stone.

:<font style="color:#F0F078;" size="3">♥</font>[[Faolan Woodlock]] : A young man whom she shares quite a few similarities with. Both grew up in the silence of the wilderness, caring for themselves in harsh regions--him in snowy lands and Ember in the arid regions of Thanalan. They share a wanting for others that can feel far away or awkward due to their upbringing in solitude. Because of this, Ember takes a refuge in Faolan's presence where they have an unspoken bond. Although the woodsman often has trouble with being touched, Ember often holds his hand whenever she can.

:<font style="color:#F0F078;" size="3">♥</font>[[Sophia Grave]] : In many ways, Sophia and Ember are vastly different from each other. Sophia has proven a trustworthy ally and companion to Ember. Her very presence brings her great comfort and delight. Sophia is both knowledgeable and a strong opponent--two traits that Ember holds in high regard. In short, Sophia has always been there for her which has made Sophia's recent decisions all the more painful for the young roegadyn who loves and looks up to her like a sister. Recent events have pitted Sophia against the rest of her family--something that has broken Ember's heart.

:<font style="color:#F0F078;" size="3">♥</font>[[Tiergan Vashir]] : Tiergan is like a vastly older brother to Ember. Where she views Zaius as fun, Tiergan is regarded as the more 'parent-like' one in his willingness to scold her. She only sometimes listens to him but recognizes that Tiergan has experience and wisdom that is often invaluable. Perhaps one could question the extent of wisdom a man who has spent much of his life fighting in the arenas could impart. However, it is precisely because of Tiergan's physical aptitude that leads her to such beliefs. With him as a companion to help guide her through several traumatic events, she holds him in high regard. Even if Tiergan can be a bit of a grump, having him around is always a celebration for Ember.

:<font style="color:#F0F078;" size="3">♥</font>[[Zaius Rhal'seer]] : Like Tiergan, Ember views Zaius as a vastly older brother. However, their relationship dynamic differs dramatically. Where Ember thinks Tiergan as stern, Zaius is fun-loving. Long stretches of absence and their brief meetings only serve to heighten her value of him. She has a more affectionate bond with Tiergan but Zaius is the cool older brother whom Ember admires strongly. Intrigued and amazed by his stories of power, Ember holds an immense respect for him by his sheer strength alone. His power, cleverness, dominance, and knowledge make her view him as an ideal rolemodel, alongside Brynhilde. In short, she wants to grow up to be him.

:<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">♥</font>[[Caen Jabari]] : Caen is an upbeat teenaged miqo'te, very recently turned adult. Like Leilani, she sees him as an equal of sorts. Ember likes Caen's positive presence that could dissipate any frown. Despite his positivity, Ember knows it is housed by an inner sadness. She was there when the amnesiac magically received his memories back--of which she has been unable to forget the tragic death of his mother. Ember feels for Caen's loneliness but he always excels in making ::her:: never feel alone. She appreciates how willing he is to touch her and let her touch him. Caen has often forgotten that Ember is blind, to which Ember also fails to realize he does not know due to his willingness to guide her by the hand. She often questions some of his logic, finding some of his reasonings on certain concepts to be strange.

:<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">♥</font>[[Ja'ren A'lenthin]] : Ja'ren came into Ember's life around the time she took residence up in the Goblet. Even when they had first met, they held an amicable relationship. Her opinion of him grew the more she got to know him. The Miqo'te youth has a special type of vision that Ember found fascinating. When they lived together it was common for Ja'ren to make gifts with his crafting skills as well as provide meals for the household. Their relationship grew into one that is akin to that of siblings, with both of them looking out for one another. Ember enjoys pestering him while Ja'ren tolerates it. Recent happenings have hurt her feelings towards him. Even so, he remains dear to her.

:<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">♥</font>[[Leilani Leilai]] : Leilani is a teenaged lalafell girl whom Ember thinks of as an equal, perhaps not in combat, but in her handling of the world. Leilani is chipper and enthusiastic. She is a practitioner of the arts: music, dancing, pies. ( Ember especially likes the pies.) When Ember is with Leilani, she always feels welcome.

:<font style="color:#679AE7;" size="3">♥</font>[[Avenio Naemig]] : First met on a mission to recover a village's missing children, Ember didn't really start to form an opinion of him until they teamed up to rescue [[Faolan Woodlock]] from mysterious monsters. The highlander may not speak much, but he carries his character through his deeds. Avenio aided Ember during some of her most vulnerable points of their most recent mission together. Though she has witnessed a scary side of him, Avenio managed to reassure her.
:<font style="color:#679AE7;" size="3">♥</font>[[Bertrand Irons]]: "Irons" to Ember. Bertrand is a capable, knowledgeable, and dedicated doctor with a warm and friendly demeanor. Bertrand has cared for several of Ember's injuries, a kindness that she is not likely to forget. Without even knowing her, he took a genuine interest in helping her. On top of this, Bertrand helps to boost Ember's confidence by assuring her that her blindness is a strength, not a weakness. He has taken to reading storybooks to her.

:<font style="color:#679AE7;" size="3">♥</font>[[Brave Horizon]] : A fellow roegadyn Hellsguard who has been cut off from society up until recently. This is a history that she shared with Ember, although for differing reasons. Brave is a comforting presence for Ember and perhaps vice versa. Ember views Brave as an equal and therefore someone that she feels she can confide in.

:<font style="color:#679AE7;" size="3">♥</font>[[Chachanji Gegenji]] : For a brief period, Ember had become her old feral self for unknown reasons. Since her transitioning back to normal, Ember remembers the care he had placed in her. His presence is calming and memories of him combing her hair provide a somewhat instinctual interest in his hair. He has a kind and friendly nature that Ember feels she can confide in and look to for aid.

:<font style="color:#679AE7;" size="3">♥</font>[[Daghbheri Himalspyr]] : Or simply "Dog" to Ember. The two first befriended over him gifting a meal to her. Since then, Dogberry has become an adult friend to her. She appreciates his kind, casual, and laidback nature. She finds him to be approachable with interesting topics to discuss.

:<font style="color:#679AE7;" size="3">♥</font>[[Memeli Meli]] : First met at Memeli's own girls' only slumber party, Ember has since then found a friend in the pink lalafell. Memeli is loud, playful, and most of all FUN. It is quite easy to be entertained when she is around. Memeli is also noticeably caring towards her friends. Ember adores it whenever the young woman addresses or acknowledges her. She is convinced that Memeli has sprouted bunny ears due to how consistently they are worn.

:<font style="color:#679AE7;" size="3">♥</font>[[Staelufre Lysmerl]] : Staelufre is a person who often steals much of Ember's interest. The miqo'te woman has some kind of connection to magic that Ember has never known, she tells the most amazing, fun, and informative stories, knows the roegadyn language, and she is often getting into trouble. She is fascinated by every word Staelufre speaks. Ember also sees Staelufre as a person that respects and regards her as an equal, despite Ember viewing her as having superior knowledge of the world.

:<font style="color:#;" size="3">♥</font>[[Virara Wakuwa]] : Virara had also met Ember in her feral state, though she scarcely remembers Virara's presence from that time period. She does, however, remember her and is intrigued by her. They share similarities, both being feral children. They also share a love of food. Ember often misunderstands her customs, especially anything that relates back to Virara's Master. However, Ember greatly respects her fighter's spirit.

:<font style="color:#E6D5D5;" size="3">♥</font>[[Jancis Milburga]] : Ember has had a few meetings with Jancis. Jancis is always polite and kind to Ember. She constantly interprets Jancis' manner of speaking as a sign of the woman holding an unspoken respect and/or affection towards Ember. She is unsure how Jancis knows her but she goes along with it instead of letting it bother her.

:<font style="color:#E6D5D5;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#BEC3BC;" size="3">●</font> [[Teld're Eska'aldren]] : Teld're is an enigma to Ember. She often forgets how she met him or how he knows her. In his mysterious nature, Ember is curious of the extent of his knowledge and power, speculating that he must have a hidden depth of strength that she has not yet witnessed. She is slightly wary of him but has taken a liking to him due him being amiable towards her on a consistent basis. His past as something of a slave and his connection to Tiergan and Staelufre provide her interest in him.

:<font style="color:#BEC3BC;" size="3">●</font>[[Gus Pumpkinweed]] : Met only once. Ember dislikes Gus Pumpkinweed for one simple reason: Her friends do. However, she also views him as skimping out on a promise to give food. (Though in reality he did take an interest in gifting Ember food)

:<font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font>[[Reginald Ozrik]] : Initially mistrustful of him after L'aenoh's accusing him of hurting Staelufre, her first impression of the man was not improved even after the misconceptions had been cleared up. Though perhaps justified in his agitation, after being punched by L'aenoh, Ember took this to represent how Reginald is. His poking fun of the way she spoke particularly struck a self-conscious nerve. Even after he apologized she was unable to forgive him and took the apology further to be an insult.

:<font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font>[[Sebastian Grave]] : Sophia's brother and a source of mistrust for Ember due to her negative first impression of him. She views the young man as aggressive, aloof, and callous. Subsequent meetings have done little to improve her opinion of him despite being mild encounters.

'''Flickering Ember''' is a blind roegadyn hailing from Eastern Thanalan. The girl has accomplished the seemingly impossible by growing up in solitude within the arid region. She is a feral child who has been partially assimilated into society over the course of several years. When she was first discovered in the wilds of Thanalan shortly after the Calamity, she was essentially mute with the exception of a few toddler-like words. Though with often animal-like mannerisms and a lack of understanding towards society and culture, Ember keeps home in The Goblet along with her free company, Aeon.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #C94C33;font-size:14px;color:#120A07;">Physical Description</div>===
Despite her youth, Ember's height matches many of the tallest roegadyns. It is easily her most apparent feature as she towers over most people, including many roegadyns. Her next most recognizable features are her ashy dark skin, fiery red hair, distinctive facial markings, and her odd eyes. Ashy dark skin contrasts with her bright red-orange fiery hair, creating the look of a young woman who encompasses the spirit of the very volcanoes her clan hails from. Her body is marked by several scars she has obtained from her rugged lifestyle. None of these are grisly battle scars, but rather small, faint, and faded ones that are too difficult to notice without staring. Aside from her scars, she has two more noticeable markings elsewhere on her body. The more obvious one is the claw like marking that spreads from one end of her face to another. It appears to be permanently graphed into her skin. The other is runic symbol on her left upper back, just over where her heart is. It is clearly of a magical nature with its glowing chill blue and intricate design.

Aside from height, Ember lives up to another of her race's features with her muscular build. A lifestyle of hunting and surviving with no one to depend on but herself has kept her physically strong. However, she is not as well chiseled as an experienced, fully grown roegadyn warrior. Ember's weight can fluctuate as well depending on her current living situations. Much of the time her friends and family provide her with food, something on which Ember indulges on without limit. This helps her put on some much needed fat. Overall, she is a muscular, physically strong girl who could still use some toughening up to reach her full potential.

Ember's eyes are another item of note. The young woman is blind though she is without cataracts or any noticeable injury to the eyes. They are normal and healthy. Clues of her condition can be gathered from how she looks at her environments around her. She does not make eye contact wit objects or people nor do her pupils shift much. Often times this can result in her appearing to stare at something or someone endlessly.

Her voice is on the husky side but lightened by Ember's typical inquisitive, enthusiastic, and generally happy demeanor.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #C94C33;font-size:14px;color:#120A07;">Personality</div>===

Ember is a person of extremes. She is either quiet and mistrusting, hostile and aggressive, or sweet and affectionate. In new situations or around those she does not know, she can be reserved and suspicious. However, her trust can be easily won by gift-giving, aiding her when she is in need, or providing her with affection. If Ember feels threatened for whatever reason, even if the gesture is relatively mundane or harmless, she will lash out. She is very protective of things she claims as her own and this can extend past just items of value. Most importantly, Ember loves and desires attention. She longs for the approval of others and places extreme importance in impressing others that she has a strong opinion of.

She is curious of almost everything and enjoys actively interacting with people and/or items. Even the smallest things in life can bring her great joy. She can also be stubborn at times, choosing when or when she will not listen to others. However, the more she sees an individual as a superior, the more she will be willing to listen to them. Her solitude can lead her to be insensitive but the well-being of others is a top concern for her. Above all, she is affectionate and seeks happiness through others.

Apart from this, Ember acts on instinct and irrational thought to guide her in decision-making, a product of her upbringing. Often times she is more of a do-er than a thinker. Because of her upbringing, she hasn’t had the advantage of education but more importantly, she hasn’t been mentally stimulated the same way others who have grown up around people have. She did not learn to speak until very late in her life, troubling for her mental development. She is overall not as intelligent as many others for this reason, although she holds no mental conditions. More times than not, though, she is simply ignorant and can make up for her lack of knowledge with cleverness, should the situation call for it.

:<font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font>[[Jericho Lapointe]] : Ember met Jericho at a time of turmoil in his life. In their first meeting, Jericho could not control his magical powers and was unleashing a series of dangerous spells. Ember was able to diffuse him by simply taking his hand and holding it. Ever since then, the two have shared a close bond that has taken a romantic turn. Jericho needs Ember for her positivity and smiles and Ember needs hims for his grounded and supportive nature.

:<font style="color:#F0F078;" size="3">♥</font>[[Brynhilde Wulf]] : At the time Ember met Brynhilde, she was still living on her own in the desert. Brynhilde triggered a chain of events that lead to Ember gradually connecting to other people more and more. It is thanks to the older woman that Ember has been able to find love, family, and friends. She not only sees Brynhilde as her mother but she also sees her as a rolemodel. Because of this, Ember both seeks comfort from Brynhilde as well as a need to impress her. Additionally, in terms of authority, Ember views Brynhilde's word as stone.

:<font style="color:#F0F078;" size="3">♥</font>[[Faolan Woodlock]] : A young man whom she shares quite a few similarities with. Both grew up in the silence of the wilderness, caring for themselves in harsh regions--him in snowy lands and Ember in the arid regions of Thanalan. They share a wanting for others that can feel far away or awkward due to their upbringing in solitude. Because of this, Ember takes a refuge in Faolan's presence where they have an unspoken bond. Although the woodsman often has trouble with being touched, Ember often holds his hand whenever she can.

:<font style="color:#F0F078;" size="3">♥</font>[[Sophia Grave]] : In many ways, Sophia and Ember are vastly different from each other. Sophia has proven a trustworthy ally and companion to Ember. Her very presence brings her great comfort and delight. Sophia is both knowledgeable and a strong opponent--two traits that Ember holds in high regard. In short, Sophia has always been there for her which has made Sophia's recent decisions all the more painful for the young roegadyn who loves and looks up to her like a sister. Recent events have pitted Sophia against the rest of her family--something that has broken Ember's heart.

:<font style="color:#F0F078;" size="3">♥</font>[[Tiergan Vashir]] : Tiergan is like a vastly older brother to Ember. Where she views Zaius as fun, Tiergan is regarded as the more 'parent-like' one in his willingness to scold her. She only sometimes listens to him but recognizes that Tiergan has experience and wisdom that is often invaluable. Perhaps one could question the extent of wisdom a man who has spent much of his life fighting in the arenas could impart. However, it is precisely because of Tiergan's physical aptitude that leads her to such beliefs. With him as a companion to help guide her through several traumatic events, she holds him in high regard. Even if Tiergan can be a bit of a grump, having him around is always a celebration for Ember.

:<font style="color:#F0F078;" size="3">♥</font>[[Zaius Rhal'seer]] : Like Tiergan, Ember views Zaius as a vastly older brother. However, their relationship dynamic differs dramatically. Where Ember thinks Tiergan as stern, Zaius is fun-loving. Long stretches of absence and their brief meetings only serve to heighten her value of him. She has a more affectionate bond with Tiergan but Zaius is the cool older brother whom Ember admires strongly. Intrigued and amazed by his stories of power, Ember holds an immense respect for him by his sheer strength alone. His power, cleverness, dominance, and knowledge make her view him as an ideal rolemodel, alongside Brynhilde. In short, she wants to grow up to be him.

:<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">♥</font>[[Caen Jabari]] : Caen is an upbeat teenaged miqo'te, very recently turned adult. Like Leilani, she sees him as an equal of sorts. Ember likes Caen's positive presence that could dissipate any frown. Despite his positivity, Ember knows it is housed by an inner sadness. She was there when the amnesiac magically received his memories back--of which she has been unable to forget the tragic death of his mother. Ember feels for Caen's loneliness but he always excels in making ::her:: never feel alone. She appreciates how willing he is to touch her and let her touch him. Caen has often forgotten that Ember is blind, to which Ember also fails to realize he does not know due to his willingness to guide her by the hand. She often questions some of his logic, finding some of his reasonings on certain concepts to be strange.

:<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">♥</font>[[Ja'ren A'lenthin]] : Ja'ren came into Ember's life around the time she took residence up in the Goblet. Even when they had first met, they held an amicable relationship. Her opinion of him grew the more she got to know him. The Miqo'te youth has a special type of vision that Ember found fascinating. When they lived together it was common for Ja'ren to make gifts with his crafting skills as well as provide meals for the household. Their relationship grew into one that is akin to that of siblings, with both of them looking out for one another. Ember enjoys pestering him while Ja'ren tolerates it. Recent happenings have hurt her feelings towards him. Even so, he remains dear to her.

:<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">♥</font>[[Leilani Leilai]] : Leilani is a teenaged lalafell girl whom Ember thinks of as an equal, perhaps not in combat, but in her handling of the world. Leilani is chipper and enthusiastic. She is a practitioner of the arts: music, dancing, pies. ( Ember especially likes the pies.) When Ember is with Leilani, she always feels welcome.

:<font style="color:#679AE7;" size="3">♥</font>[[Avenio Naemig]] : First met on a mission to recover a village's missing children, Ember didn't really start to form an opinion of him until they teamed up to rescue [[Faolan Woodlock]] from mysterious monsters. The highlander may not speak much, but he carries his character through his deeds. Avenio aided Ember during some of her most vulnerable points of their most recent mission together. Though she has witnessed a scary side of him, Avenio managed to reassure her.
:<font style="color:#679AE7;" size="3">♥</font>[[Bertrand Irons]]: "Irons" to Ember. Bertrand is a capable, knowledgeable, and dedicated doctor with a warm and friendly demeanor. Bertrand has cared for several of Ember's injuries, a kindness that she is not likely to forget. Without even knowing her, he took a genuine interest in helping her. On top of this, Bertrand helps to boost Ember's confidence by assuring her that her blindness is a strength, not a weakness. He has taken to reading storybooks to her.

:<font style="color:#679AE7;" size="3">♥</font>[[Brave Horizon]] : A fellow roegadyn Hellsguard who has been cut off from society up until recently. This is a history that she shared with Ember, although for differing reasons. Brave is a comforting presence for Ember and perhaps vice versa. Ember views Brave as an equal and therefore someone that she feels she can confide in.

:<font style="color:#679AE7;" size="3">♥</font>[[Chachanji Gegenji]] : For a brief period, Ember had become her old feral self for unknown reasons. Since her transitioning back to normal, Ember remembers the care he had placed in her. His presence is calming and memories of him combing her hair provide a somewhat instinctual interest in his hair. He has a kind and friendly nature that Ember feels she can confide in and look to for aid.

:<font style="color:#679AE7;" size="3">♥</font>[[Daghbheri Himalspyr]] : Or simply "Dog" to Ember. The two first befriended over him gifting a meal to her. Since then, Dogberry has become an adult friend to her. She appreciates his kind, casual, and laidback nature. She finds him to be approachable with interesting topics to discuss.

:<font style="color:#679AE7;" size="3">♥</font>[[Memeli Meli]] : First met at Memeli's own girls' only slumber party, Ember has since then found a friend in the pink lalafell. Memeli is loud, playful, and most of all FUN. It is quite easy to be entertained when she is around. Memeli is also noticeably caring towards her friends. Ember adores it whenever the young woman addresses or acknowledges her. She is convinced that Memeli has sprouted bunny ears due to how consistently they are worn.

:<font style="color:#679AE7;" size="3">♥</font>[[Staelufre Lysmerl]] : Staelufre is a person who often steals much of Ember's interest. The miqo'te woman has some kind of connection to magic that Ember has never known, she tells the most amazing, fun, and informative stories, knows the roegadyn language, and she is often getting into trouble. She is fascinated by every word Staelufre speaks. Ember also sees Staelufre as a person that respects and regards her as an equal, despite Ember viewing her as having superior knowledge of the world.

:<font style="color:#;" size="3">♥</font>[[Virara Wakuwa]] : Virara had also met Ember in her feral state, though she scarcely remembers Virara's presence from that time period. She does, however, remember her and is intrigued by her. They share similarities, both being feral children. They also share a love of food. Ember often misunderstands her customs, especially anything that relates back to Virara's Master. However, Ember greatly respects her fighter's spirit.

:<font style="color:#E6D5D5;" size="3">♥</font>[[Jancis Milburga]] : Ember has had a few meetings with Jancis. Jancis is always polite and kind to Ember. She constantly interprets Jancis' manner of speaking as a sign of the woman holding an unspoken respect and/or affection towards Ember. She is unsure how Jancis knows her but she goes along with it instead of letting it bother her.

:<font style="color:#E6D5D5;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#BEC3BC;" size="3">●</font> [[Teld're Eska'aldren]] : Teld're is an enigma to Ember. She often forgets how she met him or how he knows her. In his mysterious nature, Ember is curious of the extent of his knowledge and power, speculating that he must have a hidden depth of strength that she has not yet witnessed. She is slightly wary of him but has taken a liking to him due him being amiable towards her on a consistent basis. His past as something of a slave and his connection to Tiergan and Staelufre provide her interest in him.

:<font style="color:#BEC3BC;" size="3">●</font>[[Gus Pumpkinweed]] : Met only once. Ember dislikes Gus Pumpkinweed for one simple reason: Her friends do. However, she also views him as skimping out on a promise to give food. (Though in reality he did take an interest in gifting Ember food)

:<font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font>[[Reginald Ozrik]] : Initially mistrustful of him after L'aenoh's accusing him of hurting Staelufre, her first impression of the man was not improved even after the misconceptions had been cleared up. Though perhaps justified in his agitation, after being punched by L'aenoh, Ember took this to represent how Reginald is. His poking fun of the way she spoke particularly struck a self-conscious nerve. Even after he apologized she was unable to forgive him and took the apology further to be an insult.

:<font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font>[[Sebastian Grave]] : Sophia's brother and a source of mistrust for Ember due to her negative first impression of him. She views the young man as aggressive, aloof, and callous. Subsequent meetings have done little to improve her opinion of him despite being mild encounters.

Brynhilde stands at 6 fulms and 1 ilm tall with long, slender limbs and neck. She has the archetypal developed musculature of the Highlander woman, while keeping the feminine body shape.

[[File: BrynSketchPainter.JPG|thumb|right|]]

Bryn has a slim face, with a fine nose, full lips and thick brows. She has porcelain-pale skin, with light freckling across her nose, cheeks and shoulders.

Her eyes are a very pale sky blue, and she keeps them lined with brown kohl.

Her hair is quite thick, and she usually keeps it neatly tied. It is mostly smooth, but some of Brynhilde's hair has a coarser texture to it owing to her Highlander heritage, and these strands she wears in locks she binds with ribbon and adorns with charms. When worn loose, her hair reaches below her shoulder blades.

[[File: Bryn sketch.jpg|thumb|left|By [[Lurial Vashir]]]]

A good look at her reveals that Bryn takes greater pride in her personal appearance than your average adventurer. When not in her well-kept armour, she chooses light, often feminine attire. She has a good eye for colour and her fingernails are oddly well-kept for an adventurer. She wears a pleasant lavender fragrance, and often applies a light gloss to her lips.

Bryn has no tattoos, but a few fine scars on her hands and arms. She does, however, have some significant scarring on her torso. She has two piercings in either earlobe, and wears simple silver studs in them.

Brynhilde's voice is smooth and somewhat breathy. While her cycles in greater Eorzea have softened her Ala Mhigan accent, it is still notable in her rolled R's and occasional pronunciation of W's as V's. Her accent is more pronounced when she is upset.

She maintains good posture, typically keeping her head held high and back straight, accentuating her already considerable height as a Highlander. At rest, her expression is often stern or impassive. She can often come across as haughty.

====<div style="background:#ACD3EB;font-family:Georgia;font-size:30px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;"><center>'' Strengths ''</center></div>====

Bryn, despite surface impressions, is a woman of intense feeling. She is deeply compassionate, and fervently loyal to friends and family. She is very principled, and has a tendency to consider the needs of the group above her own. She will willingly do what others won’t, if she believes it is for the best. She is determined to the extreme; once she has decided on a course of action, naught will keep her from her goal.
[[File: Bryn Valor.png|thumb|left|]]

With her calm, confident demeanour and tendency to be decisive and assertive, Bryn is a natural leader. While she does not actively seek to lead, she is comfortable being the one others turn to for guidance.

Although she always desired a family, Bryn's devotion to the resistance kept her from ever having children of her own. Perhaps as a result, and owing to her qualities of being 'the protector' type, Bryn has a mothering side to her. She likes to take care of those around her, be it through making sure they're fed a decent meal, or through offering a sympathetic ear.

Having spent her younger Cycles in Ala Mhigo's noble courts, Bryn is adept in charm and flattery, and will happily employ both to her advantage in social situations. Bryn has been known to use her skill in diplomacy to smooth over difficult social situations to great effect. She can sometimes come across as rather flirtatious, although she rarely has genuine romantic intentions.

====<div style="background:#ACD3EB;font-family:Georgia;font-size:30px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;"><center>'' Flaws ''</center></div>====

Her desire to protect those around her, coupled with her ‘bigger picture’ views, can make her very self-destructive and reckless. She is a martyr, with little regard for her own safety and happiness. Her principles can make her overly-righteous at times, to the point where she has difficulty perceiving other views and shades of moral grey. As a result, she can be prone to extremism.

Cycles spent in the militarized environment of the Ala Mhigan resistance have left Bryn with a measure of distaste for authority, rules and rigid social structures. She cares for laws only insofar as they serve toward achieving moral ends. As soon as she perceives them as having become a hindrance to those ends, Bryn swiftly abandons them in favour of her own moral code. This can make her something of a wildcard.

[[File:BrynHowlingEye.png|thumb|left|]]

Bryn can be overly-proud, sometimes to the point of arrogance, and is often loathe to reveal anything about herself which she feels could put her at a disadvantage. Brynhilde is incredibly guarded, and rarely ever surrenders information about herself unless asked. Even then, her answers are often evasive and sometimes dishonest. She can be uptight and reluctant to relax.

She is slow to trust and does not cope well with emotional vulnerability. She has a strong desire to maintain control at all times, both of herself and her environment, and sometimes unfortunately of the people in her life, too.

Although it is a difficult thing to provoke her into anger, her temper is explosive when lost. It takes a lot to drag Bryn into an argument. Once there, however, she digs her heels in and doesn't yield. She’s not entirely above a shouting match if the argument is regarding something she feels passionately about, but generally she prefers to avoid conflict whenever she can. Insults have little effect on her; the quickest way to witness her temper is to attack those she cares for. That said, a particularly sore point is her Ala Mhigan heritage. Insult it at your peril.

Having come from a traditionalist Mhigan family, Brynhilde has some unhealthy prejudices and attitudes. She tends to keep these mostly to herself, and as a result they rarely affect her relationships.

Brynhilde believes that she has a duty to suffer until her final day. Moments of happiness for her are thus shadowed by a quiet anxiety which is hard for her to discard.

====<div style="background:#ACD3EB;font-family:Georgia;font-size:30px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;"><center>'' Romance ''</center></div>====

Being the guarded character that she is, Bryn does not grow close to others quickly. A potential lover would need to be willing to invest the time and energy needed to get her to lower her defences before there could be any chance for intimacy. Trust is a big issue for Brynhilde and she is also keenly aware that, owing to her history, allowing others to get close to her may put them at risk of harm.

In others she respects the qualities of strength, virtue and courage. Her partner would need to be a person who is non-judgemental and compassionate. She is put off by lecherous behaviour and empty flattery.

Bryn recognises that she is equally attracted to both men and women, but her prejudices keep her from being attracted to anyone who isn't either Highlander or Roegadyn. She is concerned for the purity and longevity of the Highlander race, and so would be very reluctant to enter into sexual relations with a man of another race.<br><br>

====<div style="background:#ACD3EB;font-family:Georgia;font-size:30px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;"><center>'' Ideology ''</center></div>====

<br>'''Religion'''

The best word to describe Brynhilde's religious beliefs would be "Gods-fearing". She believes in the Twelve but does not actively worship any of them, although in her youth she gave homage to Rhalgr, according to her peoples' custom. Bryn believes that the Twelve have little involvement in or care for the lives of mortals, excepting that they are vengeful and sure to dole out justice to those who are cruel.

She believes nonetheless that she has been favoured by Rhalgr and Halone all her life, a belief that causes her no small amount of grief.<br>

'''Politics'''

Brynhilde grew up in the militaristic culture of Ala Mhigo, and so was raised with a concern for the needs of the group, the unit and the nation above the individual. Her traumatic experiences of war and the warrior culture turned her away from this mentality, as she saw the worst that the 'greater good' mindset could lead to. She subsequently turned toward a firm belief in the worth of each life, and the irrevocable dignity of the individual.

As such, she reviles politics that disregard the needs of the poor and disempowered. She holds contempt for those who support such politics, and particularly those who believe that it is acceptable to sacrifice the few for the sake of the many.

Brynhilde despises the lust for wealth, and is prone to distrust those who display it.

[[File:BrynHeader_Combat.png|1100px|]]
<br>

<br>
In battle Brynhilde favours the sword and shield, and prefers a longer blade to the shortsword or gladius. She is swift in battle and possessing of remarkable grace, fighting with a dancing, flourishing style of swordplay rarely seen among adventurers. She tends toward a more defensive stance, and most often on the battlefield can be found with shield raised, stood between her comrades and that which would harm them.

In combat, Bryn wears a combination of plate, chain and leather. The heavy plate she wears to guard her torso against the inevitable blows she endures as a defender, as well as to guard her sword-arm. She wears the lighter chain on her legs to preserve mobility, and the leather on her gauntlets and greaves to maintain flexibility.

She has incredible staying power; although she may have suffered heavy blows and her body screams with fatigue, she will fight until either her foe is defeated, or she is overwhelmed. Pain seems to have little effect on her.

Her strong Highlander body gives Bryn the raw strength to overwhelm most opponents in close-quarters combat, with the exception of Roegadyn and male Highlanders. However, she possesses little defence against magical and ranged attacks.

After many moons of intense practice and study, Brynhilde has achieved a greater mastery of curative magic. As she continues to improve, she seeks ways to utilise her spells in close-quarters battle, so as to better defend and protect her allies.

Although rarely employed, Brynhilde has an understanding of the basic functioning of magitek small arms and improvised explosives. She is also skilled in the use of the traditional Highlander weapon of the zweihander, or two-handed sword.

If given the choice, Bryn would rather not fight at all. Although she is not a pacifist, she detests senseless violence and never fights without good cause.<br>

<br>
<br>
Bryn is a Landsknecht, a follower of a little-known and proud martial tradition of Ala Mhigo. She is very selective about work she takes on, often agreeing to it only if she would not be required to violate her moral code in order to complete the job. As such, she has built up a modest reputation in Limsa Lominsa and Ul’dah as a reliable person who deals fairly and honourably with those she works with. She has a marked concern for the underdog and the downtrodden. Recently she has mostly concerned herself with the dealings of the secretive Aeon free company.

Bryn loves to ride, and she and her chocobo, Astridr, typically cover several malms every day. She finds a measure of peace in travelling, in cooking and reading, and sometimes in writing. She loves Chocobos and hounds, often preferring their company to that of other people.

She also has a secret, tragic love for trashy romance novels. You know, the really awful ones with titles like, ‘The Viscount’s Mistress’, and ‘The Doctor’s Bride’. Heaving bosoms abound!

Bryn likes music and stories, particularly romance. She enjoys drinking, and owing to her noble origins, is a talented dancer. Just perhaps not in the dancing styles you’d most often find in Eorzea’s taverns.

Their unlikely pairing had a somewhat rocky start, as it was marred at times by misunderstanding and tension. Despite this, the two continued to be drawn together by mutual attraction until they at last embarked upon a romantic relationship.

Bryn admires Dog's frankness, humour, sensitivity and devotion to his son, although at times she struggles to understand his outlook on life. While at first her attraction to him was mostly in the physical sense, Bryn's growing feelings for Dog have been coming to the fore in recent weeks. She looks forward to seeing where their relationship goes with cautious optimism; a rare thing, for her.</spoiler>

Close enough, even, for Bryn to place her life in Tiergan's hands. Bryn was pleasantly surprised to learn that they share a homeland, and has come to appreciate Tiergan's selflessness and combat proficiency. Having correctly guessed Tiergan's difficult past, Bryn also feels sympathetic toward the Miqo'te. Despite her thinly-veiled prejudice against most Miqo'te, Brynhilde views Tiergan almost as a brother.</spoiler></td>

<td style="width:50%";><font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font>'''[[Striding Oak]]''' <spoiler>The two met in La Noscea when Oak came to Bryn's aid as the Hyur fled attackers. Oak arrived in time to find a gravely wounded Brynhilde, whose life she saved by ripping a spear tip from her side so that the White Mage [[Ne'ci Aera]] could heal her. After that, the two began to develop a close friendship. As moons passed and the two spent time together, Bryn began to realise that her feelings for Oak ran deeper than she was ready to admit. Eventually the two confessed their feelings, and embarked upon a loving, affectionate and happy relationship. Oak's long absence in the previous cycle was difficult for Brynhilde to cope with. Eventually she resolved to move on with her life, although it was no easy decision for her to make.

Now that Oak has returned, things between the two of them couldn't be further than what they once were; their relationship is cold and sometimes hostile. Bryn will not speak on it.</spoiler>

While some might find Ember's lack of any understanding of social mores odd or frustrating, for the most part Bryn finds them endearing. She has a maternal attitude toward the girl, and her protective urges over her can unfortunately lean toward the overly-fierce.</spoiler>

Those days have long since passed, and events following them have left Bryn feeling increasingly distanced from the Hellsguard. She is often frustrated by Brave's hot-headedness and what Bryn views as an over-eagerness to jump to rash action. She struggles to find a way to articulate her feelings to Brave and grow closer to her, but guilt keeps her at bay.</spoiler>

Bryn and Arcian, however, are similar in their serious attitudes. This has perhaps kept them from being as close as they could be. Nonetheless, Bryn has opened up to Arcian before, and the younger Highlander is aware of one of Bryn's gravest secrets. To this day, she remains one of a tiny handful of people who know the true extend of the horrors of her past.</spoiler>

Bryn intially found Gharen's taciturn nature quite frustrating, but time spent training and socializing together since has given her a better understanding of the man. Bells spent in conversation with Gharen have shown Bryn a kindly, honourable and admirable man whose company she greatly enjoys. She wishes to see him safe and happy, but has thus far maintained her distance out of respect for his pride.</spoiler>

While she holds no ill will toward Ary personally, Bryn has come to the grim realisation that if it were necessary, she must be ready to do her harm.

===''Moderate Rumors''===
::* "That's an odd bird she rides. Beautiful thing, but it's got a mean streak a malm wide. A bit like the rider, heh."
::* "She's a tricky woman to track down. I hear she never stays in the same place for more than two nights. Sounds like trouble to me."
::* "She's done well for herself. Aye, she used to be a down-an'-out, like most of the other Highlanders you see in the Sultanate. If only more refugees would care to follow her example, it'd do wonders to clean up cesspits like Pearl Lane."
::* "Isn't that--? No, no. I must be mistaken. But damn if she doesn't look like one of those wretched somnus junkies I used to see around the refugee camps."
::* "There are no records anywhere of anyone by that name having existed prior to the Calamity. She could've fallen to Eorzea from Dalamud for all I know."

===''Rare Rumors''===
::* "You'd do well to avoid that one. She's been seen in the company of the shadier types of Ul'dah. I don't know what she's involved in, but it can't be good."
::* "Rumour has it that she was one of the few poor souls who survived Carteneau, but just barely. It's hard to imagine what she might've seen and been through."
::* "There's a sizeable bounty on that woman's head. Questionable characters are willing to pay handsomely for her capture, but not for her death. Quite who these characters are working for is uncertain."
::* "Aye, that's her. ''Adelfrida Bloodwoad'', daughter of the resistance. So called because she used to paint her face with the blood of the Imperials she had slain in battle. What, you don't believe me? Bah, fine. Believe as you wish. But I'm tellin' you, that one's as the Highlanders of old; she's as vicious as they come."

===''1539 - 1558 : The Ala Mhigan Cycles''===
<br>
<spoiler>
Adelfrida Brandulfr (meaning,”Noble Beauty, Fire Wolf”) was born in Ala Mhigo on the 22nd Sun of the First Astral moon, 1539. The eldest child of the wealthy and highly-respect nobleman Járngrímur Brandulfr, Adelfrida was heir to a house possessing both ancient roots and proud standing. Járngrímur was a decorous, rational man, a staunch royalist, and a somewhat distant father who raised his children with careful precision, but little affection. Nevertheless, Adelfrida idolised him and was the very image of the dutiful daughter, obeying his edict that she act as a guardian and watchful eye over her two younger siblings, Bjollgrímur and Adele.

The siblings were inseparable, and lived a life of ease and privilege until the chaotic events of King Theodoric’s reign. Shortly after Theodoric began his persecution of the monks of the Fist of Rhalgr, Adelfrida’s mother, Adelheid, was charged with aiding enemies of the monarch and so was sentenced to public execution.
</spoiler>

===''1558 - 1559 : Rebellion''===
<br>
<spoiler>Thus the Brandulfr siblings fell in with the rebellion against Theodoric, which culminated in the end of his reign as the Garlean Empire moved in to Ala Mhigo. While many at that time viewed the Empire as liberators, this misconception was quickly dispelled when Garlean forces began to purge the city of its nobility and coerce Ala Mhigans into what was essentially slavery. The Brandulfrs then found themselves exiled from the city their family had called home for centuries.
</spoiler>
===''1559 - 1572 : The Resistance Cycles''===
<br>
<spoiler>Initially, Adelfrida and her siblings did not move west into Eorzea as many of those first refugees did. Instead, embittered by the loss of her home and way of life, Adelfrida succumbed to the urgings of her brother and joined the resistance movement against Garlemald. Those early days of the resistance saw some victories. But young Adelfrida was driven by a burning hatred and rage toward the Imperial invaders who she believed had taken her life from her.

Cycles passed, and still the family lingered in Gyr Abania, fighting Imperial forces wherever they found them, raiding their supply shipments and seizing whatever Garlean weapons and technology they could. The siblings fell in with a group of resistance fighters led by Dreki Ironmantle, an ex-captain in Theodoric's royal guard. Eventually, their accumulated, albeit modest, successes against the Imperials earned a reputation for the Brandulfr siblings, who by this point had been affectionately dubbed ‘The Pack’ by their comrades. But it was Adelfrida in particular who became something of the local resistance’s darling; with her flame-red hair, her youthful energy and ardent devotion to the cause, as well as her savagery on the field of battle, she and Dreki's company became rallying figures for several of the small resistance groups still remaining in the mountainous regions of Gyr Abania.

The resistance’s petty victories in the skirmishes against the Garleans in and around Gyr Abania did not satisfy Adelfrida. As the cycles passed and the Ala Mhigans seemed to grow no closer to retaking their home, her rage intensified steadily. It called for a blow to be struck against the Imperials in the region the likes of which they could never recover from. Eventually the resistance planned an operation with the potential to do just that.

Under Adelfrida’s leadership, a small unit of resistance fighters risked all to embark upon the mission to destroy a nascent Castrum in the Highlands. But in her hatred and zeal, Adelfrida could not anticipate the catastrophic consequences ahead of her.</spoiler>

===''1572 - Present Day : Without a Cause''===

<br>
<spoiler>''"... I've nothing else tae do. When I finally let go, I thought I'd be free.

''Instead I floundered, and felt lost without anything tae strive for, however hopeless.''

'' I can't be one of these aimless adventurers, content tae fight for fame and fortune. 'Tis meaningless tae me."''</spoiler>

Bryn's identity as Adelfrida Brandulfr has been a closely-guarded secret for the last twenty Cycles, a necessary measure to avoid the Empire's hunting. If you intend to have your character allude to Bryn's history or identity, or her status as a fugitive, please speak to me first.

The correct pronunciation of her name would be "Breen-HILL-d' Voolf." The R should be briefly rolled, if possible. However, Bryn usually introduces herself simply as "Brin Wolf", as so few people are able to pronounce her name properly.

This character is on the Balmung server.

I'm in-character 90% of the time. Please don't be afraid to say 'hi' or drop me a /tell in-game. I'm always up for random meets, too. I am in the GMT time zone, but often play late.

An imposing Highlander known for her stoicism and fierce pride in her Ala Mhigan heritage, Brynhilde is a somewhat common sight around Ul'dah and Eorzea's wild places.

Guarded yet amiable, she appears a capable warrior and mercenary.

However, this Highlander is more than she seems. Disgraced Ala Mhigan noble and ex-Resistance fighter, Brynhilde lives life under a false identity, ever seeking to stay one step ahead of the Garlean Empire's terrible vengeance. All the while she endeavors to redeem herself for the crimes of her youth, a burden which she feels she will never escape.

She leads the secretive and enigmatic Aeon free company from their home in the Goblet.<section end=featured-blurb />

== Say Hello to Kero: A summary ==
<span style="color:#0000FF">Blue text denotes most recent info changes. If you've read over this, but see blue text, check over them for new info.</span>

*When asked about where she comes from, she will likely tell you that she's been with Arky since her early childhood, and that seems to be all she's willing to divulge of the topic. She found citizenship with Ul'dah some time before the Calamity. When she first arrived she was with two others, Arky and Nanokie, the latter of which was believed to be their sibling. As not many know about her, there has been no need to clarify their relationship. One thing that will become easily noticeable, is her reliance on her partner, Arky. This man has not been seen in many months, and Despite all odds, Keroa holds to his idea that he yet lives and holds to his ideals as if they were her own. This causes her to make choices she otherwise would not if left to her own devices. Currently acting head of Aether Corp in his absence, she does what she can to help those in need in his stead.
*She is not one to openly engage in social activities and is most likely to be found at their company hall, studying Aether, and seeing to the managerial duties of her new found leadership status which she only hopes is temporary. Of these duties, are included to aid those less fortunate, Aether's company hall has something of an open door policy. If one finds themselves in need of temporary housing, or a warm meal, or even sanctuary for a night she will do what she can to give them comfort and aid. Usually some small paperwork is involved if any individual intends on staying longer than a fortnight.

*Those who come to her hall for aid quickly find that though she offers aid almost without question, she is suspicious and skeptical of all who come to her door. Pray do not expect a warm welcome from this woman should you require aid, and woe be unto you should you bring trouble to her doorstep and endanger any of Arky's legacy.

*Any who spend time around this miqo'te will notice that she tends to favor Aetherial manipulation despite having a strict ban on it's use in the hall. She is possessed of a deep well of Anima, and proficient in Aetherial manipulation. Practiced in the arts of Thaumaturgy and Arcanima she has what could be considered a frightening skill with destructive magic, able to cast simple spells of fire or ice without the aid of an arcane utterance. The more powerful the spell, the more focus she will need to cast it, including chants and words of power. She favors flame above all else, and this fact becomes quickly apparent, especialy if you have the poor luck or sense to startle this solitary keeper.

==<div style="padding-left: 5px; padding-bottom: 3px; padding-top: 3px; font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 255, 255); background-color:#483d8b; line-height: 1.8em"><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif"><center>'''Appearance'''</center></span></div>==

Being a Keeper of the Moon she bears all the natural physical signs a s such. Wide dilated eyes, more pronounced fangs from her Keeper cousins and even her tail betrays her Keeper lineage, a white tipped tail.

'''Body :'''

*Keroa is fairly short, as far as Miqo'te are concerned, standing at 5'3"
*If one would be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of her bare back, they would notice the strange tattoo that seems to mark several adventurers attendance to the Calamity. To ask her of it, she may not even know it is there.
*Keroa's body is covered in a plethora of rather large and numerous scars. Her face, forearms, and lower legs have been spared these physical mutilations. However Keroa keeps these covered as often as she can. Despite residing in the desert, she is constantly seen to wear long sleeves, and long skirts or pants, to cover them. (This is knowledge to be used in the off chance a PC sees Kero showing her upper arms, chest, or back.)[http://keroamosuke.tumblr.com/post/116099932054/updated-reference-for-keroas-scars-better-quality|See external link for reference.]]
*When you watch closely to her body language, you will see that only her right ear uses it's full range of motion. The left ear attempts to mirror the actions of its partner, but at best can only manage a sad little twitch or wiggle.

'''Face:'''[[Image:Kmosuke001.png|thumb|right|350px|A close up example of Keroa's eyes.]]

*Though one would not notice at a first glance her eyes are hetero chromatic, the right being a deep green and the left blue.
*Keroa bears a 'beauty mark' below her left eye, accompanied by classic miqo'te stripes, three upon each cheek.
* Just as the tip of her tail boasts pure white, so too are there stubborn strands of white in her hair. She has recently learned to her dismay that dye will not stick to these stubbornly white strands. With no family to inquire about it too, she simply doesn't question it and chalks it up to her keeper bloodline.
* She wears an Astral choker that is present on her at all times. She is unable to remove it by normal means and has no intention of doing so. When close enough, "Arky" can be read on the setting above the Astral stone, and "As'tarotte" can be read beneath it. Sometimes she idly touches this as if to remind herself that it is still there.
*(Keroas Character model has small baby fangs, Please do not take this as canon fang length. She bears traditionally larger canines. thank you for your cooperation!)

==<div style="padding-left: 5px; padding-bottom: 3px; padding-top: 3px; font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 255, 255); background-color:#483d8b; line-height: 1.8em"><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif"><center>'''Behavior'''</center></span></div>==

*Not one to openly reach out and forge companionship, it is rare to see her strike up a conversation. Usually her mood is telegraphed through the language of her tail and ears. Unless directly spoken to, she will not usually speak, however if you hit the right topic has been known to go on one hell of a tangent.

*Used to be easily spotted at the Sands. Nowadays it is rare to see her out at the Sands at all.

*<span style="color:#0000FF">Most often seen wearing some form of facial cover, from visor's to masks. She seems loathe to show her face.
*Cold and abrasive to strangers to the point of being rude.
*wordlessly helps people she deems otherwise incapable, there are a few occasions where she can be seen at pearl lane and stonesthrow distributing supplies to the homeless.
*Usually nowhere to be seen between the 15-20th of each moon unless she is stricken by an extreme case of wanderlust or an emergency requires her attention.</span>

=== Miscellaneous ===
*True neutral allignment based on the [http://easydamus.com/alignmenttest.html Easydamus test]
*When she becomes upset or excited, a noticeable change in her speech pattern occurs. Her words become short and broken, as though she were trying to talk faster...or maybe she just looses control of her tongue?
::'''example:'''"Oh? and just what,exactly do you expect that would accomplish?" Would sound more like, "An' what th' bloody 'ells d'ye think yer doin'?"

*When relaxed, it becomes apparent that she does not have a clear grasp on, or does not care for 'proper manners' As one could easily see her eating with only the use of her hands more often than one would see her use utensils.

*Touched with void energies. those sensitive to it should be able to pick it up.

*Stiff/shy with people she doesn't know, unless in the company of an individual she does know.

*Has acquired the ability to see peoples aetheric aura

*Telegraphs her mood through via her tail and ears, and at times, can be seen holding her tail in her lap to keep it still.

*Will not hesitate to improvise, should the need arise. (using an arrow as a stick for shishkebabs, for instance.)

*scratches at the nape of her neck when she's talking, an idle habit.

*Has an abnormally low body temperature. Cold to the touch.

=== Combat ===

*Keroa is loathe to relinquish her hard earned Dark Magics, and would just as soon toss a fireball at an enemy as put an arrow in their throat. both cases normally call for a bit of distance, but she wouldn't pause to improvise in close quarters if need be, and has been known to risk burns to her own person in order to deter any would be attackers.

</center>

===(Player Characters)===
:<font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">■</font>[[Arky Mosuke]]: It is unclear exactly what relationship these two have, however, it is obvious that they know each other very well, and that Keroa is fiercely loyal to this Seeker.
:<font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">■</font>[[Haruki Aoyuki]]: A rather silent male miqo'te whom she had met through Arky. Ao has recently been 'tasked' with watching over Keroa at Arky's behest. She's found his mostly silent companionship refreshing, as she does not need to restrict her use of magic around him, in fact, she seems to enjoy casting blizzard spells around him. And he seems to truly enjoy each spell. Keroa seems to have developed some special bond with Ao. He's managed to push aside a few of her insecurities. Impressive, for a silent guardian. Ao is one of the rare few to actually fully win Keroa's trust.
:<font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">■</font>[[As'tarotte Hyun]]: Arky's betrothed. She currently wears a collar to match her own, etched with Arky's name, just as hers is. Often mentioned in idle conversations, it is clear she has grown somewhat fond of this Seeker.
:<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">■</font> [[Granil Tempish]]: This Lalafell turned Miqo'te and back offers Keroa a fresh view on her Aether studies, and a rhyme or two to juice things up. Keroa feels relieved that Granil understands aether on the same level that she herself does. And, hopes to test the limits of her knowledge together with him. Assuming he doesn't brew up an explosive during his random musings.
:<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">■</font> [[Lanza Razaul]]: Hired security for Aether corp. After an initially rough few encounters, Keroa wonders if she was to harsh on this blonde hyur. Whether or not she admits it, Lanza reminds her of someone she knew when she was just a child, and finds herself developing something of an awkward friendship with him. He has not been seen in moons. She feels she has driven him away, and silently shoulders this burden.
:<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">■</font> [[Onuma Ahntifi]]: A passing accquantance that has bolstered a bit of Keroa's confidence, claiming that she wanted to get to know Keroa better. Recent event's had led Keroa into telling Onuma about where she came from, and how she'd met Arky. She divulged this information with some reluctance, however, as she merely did so to clear up confusion caused by her incoherent ramblings. She hopes that Onuma will keep those tales to herself, but as she forgot to ask her not to mention it to anyone else, she can only hope.
:<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">■</font>[[Kerr V'yen]]: A blonde haired Miqo'te Keroa met one day on her frequent trips to Ao's house, upon finding the house was occupied, Ao introduced the two of them, and they shared words, at first completely avoiding the topic of themselves. Some time later, Keroa would visit Ao's house once again, to find Kerr badly wounded, bandaged and unable to do more than wince in pain. As he is a friend of Ao's she offered to heal his wounds the best she could. After a short conversation then, she wonders if Kerr is safe to be around, but has promised not to speak of him or his whereabouts. Whether she has done this for Kerr, or herself, remains to be seen. Also: He sent her Rolanberries.
:<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">■</font> [[Alandiel Silmontaix]]: An elezen woman of refinement in Keroas eyes. She is calm and astute, and growing to be a presence she welcomes in the company hall.
:<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">■</font> [[Mikh'a Korofi]]: Without Mincing words, this young calico doctor has saved Keroa from the grasp of death a couple times, and seems to ask nothing in return other than the ability to check on her to ensure that she remains healthy. She is still hesitant to trust the young man, despite having already seemed to bare her soul to him in some small manner. He knows much more of her than she would prefer. All the same she is grateful to have him as an ally, and hopes that she will not come to regret trusting him.
:<font style="color:#B2B2B2;" size="3">■</font>[[L'mila Lania]]: A Demure Miqo'te whom Keroa is had a Hard time dealing with. She vanished once again, but serves a reminder for Keroa to care for herself lest she become too weak to even eat.
:<font style="color:#B2B2B2;" size="3">■</font>[[Altima Zeroblade]]: Altima was another accquantance met through Arky. She has proven to be someone that Keroa has chosen to trust, albiet tentatively, she is quickly growing fond of this battle ready Qo'te, as they share a mutual, odd relationship with Arky. Altima's disappearance, has further solidified Keroa's belief that, in the end, people are only ever temporary, and will end up leaving in the end.
:<font style="color:#B2B2B2;" size="3">■</font> [[Gus Pumpkinweed]]: Keroa has encountered this Lalafell more than once. Each time accusing her of ombrophobia, due to her choice of dress. His behavior may seem a little off to Keroa, however she doesn't think much of it. However, as he has approached her, with the offer of supplying gil and actual supplies in exchange for studies in Aether, she has become skeptical; Most just come to learn, few offer compensation. she has not seen him since.
:<font style="color:#000000;" size="3">■</font> [[Suzi Suzo]]: A Lalafellen spitfire that was brought to Aether one day by Granil. A good baker, and one Keroa would rather not end up on the bad side of.
:<font style="color:#000000;" size="3">■</font>[[Orpheus Arkouda]]: Keroa doesn't know what to think of this one. She is terrified and intrigued all the same and hates him for the simple fact that he cannot respect her personal space, and herself even more for allowing him to do so. she is off put by this beast of a Miqo'te, and is likely to turn tail and try to avoid him if she can help it. He has shaken her to the core.
:<font style="color:#000000;" size="3">■</font>[[Gunther Wallace]]: This charismatic Miqo'te often has Keroa's eyes rolling as she attempts to avoid him at every possible turn. His persistent, optimistic behavior however has been working in his favor. She sees a potential ally in him, and a great potential risk. After all, his line of work is worrisome for this paranoid miqo'te.
:<font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">■</font>[[Lambert Arkwright]]: One that Keroa would sooner forget existed. Her many nicknames for him are "Redheaded Voidsent" "Twelves damned Redhead" and most recently "The Dullard". He has since been confirmed for dead.
:<font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">■</font>[[Yangh Linh]]: Keroa has only had chance, small encounters with this deeply bronzed Keeper, but each encounter has only led to bad things happening.
:<font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">■</font>[[Roswyn Valhuri]]: A young Miqo'te that Keroa met the same day she me Ao. She has been kind enough to help her keep an eye on troublesome Arky. After several incidents involving roswyn and Arky, Keroa feels justified in choosing not to trust Roswyn, and seems rather vehement on keeping the Keeper away from herself, and Arky. Has been reported deceased.

== Say Hello to Kero: A summary ==
<span style="color:#0000FF">Blue text denotes most recent info changes. If you've read over this, but see blue text, check over them for new info.</span>

*When asked about where she comes from, she will likely tell you that she's been with Arky since her early childhood, and that seems to be all she's willing to divulge of the topic. She found citizenship with Ul'dah some time before the Calamity. When she first arrived she was with two others, Arky and Nanokie, the latter of which was believed to be their sibling. As not many know about her, there has been no need to clarify their relationship. One thing that will become easily noticeable, is her reliance on her partner, Arky. This man has not been seen in many months, and Despite all odds, Keroa holds to his idea that he yet lives and holds to his ideals as if they were her own. This causes her to make choices she otherwise would not if left to her own devices. Currently acting head of Aether Corp in his absence, she does what she can to help those in need in his stead.
*She is not one to openly engage in social activities and is most likely to be found at their company hall, studying Aether, and seeing to the managerial duties of her new found leadership status which she only hopes is temporary. Of these duties, are included to aid those less fortunate, Aether's company hall has something of an open door policy. If one finds themselves in need of temporary housing, or a warm meal, or even sanctuary for a night she will do what she can to give them comfort and aid. Usually some small paperwork is involved if any individual intends on staying longer than a fortnight.

*Those who come to her hall for aid quickly find that though she offers aid almost without question, she is suspicious and skeptical of all who come to her door. Pray do not expect a warm welcome from this woman should you require aid, and woe be unto you should you bring trouble to her doorstep and endanger any of Arky's legacy.

*Any who spend time around this miqo'te will notice that she tends to favor Aetherial manipulation despite having a strict ban on it's use in the hall. She is possessed of a deep well of Anima, and proficient in Aetherial manipulation. Practiced in the arts of Thaumaturgy and Arcanima she has what could be considered a frightening skill with destructive magic, able to cast simple spells of fire or ice without the aid of an arcane utterance. The more powerful the spell, the more focus she will need to cast it, including chants and words of power. She favors flame above all else, and this fact becomes quickly apparent, especialy if you have the poor luck or sense to startle this solitary keeper.

==<div style="padding-left: 5px; padding-bottom: 3px; padding-top: 3px; font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 255, 255); background-color:#483d8b; line-height: 1.8em"><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif"><center>'''Appearance'''</center></span></div>==

Being a Keeper of the Moon she bears all the natural physical signs a s such. Wide dilated eyes, more pronounced fangs from her Keeper cousins and even her tail betrays her Keeper lineage, a white tipped tail.

'''Body :'''

*Keroa is fairly short, as far as Miqo'te are concerned, standing at 5'3"
*If one would be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of her bare back, they would notice the strange tattoo that seems to mark several adventurers attendance to the Calamity. To ask her of it, she may not even know it is there.
*Keroa's body is covered in a plethora of rather large and numerous scars. Her face, forearms, and lower legs have been spared these physical mutilations. However Keroa keeps these covered as often as she can. Despite residing in the desert, she is constantly seen to wear long sleeves, and long skirts or pants, to cover them. (This is knowledge to be used in the off chance a PC sees Kero showing her upper arms, chest, or back.)[http://keroamosuke.tumblr.com/post/116099932054/updated-reference-for-keroas-scars-better-quality|See external link for reference.]]
*When you watch closely to her body language, you will see that only her right ear uses it's full range of motion. The left ear attempts to mirror the actions of its partner, but at best can only manage a sad little twitch or wiggle.

'''Face:'''[[Image:Kmosuke001.png|thumb|right|350px|A close up example of Keroa's eyes.]]

*Though one would not notice at a first glance her eyes are hetero chromatic, the right being a deep green and the left blue.
*Keroa bears a 'beauty mark' below her left eye, accompanied by classic miqo'te stripes, three upon each cheek.
* Just as the tip of her tail boasts pure white, so too are there stubborn strands of white in her hair. She has recently learned to her dismay that dye will not stick to these stubbornly white strands. With no family to inquire about it too, she simply doesn't question it and chalks it up to her keeper bloodline.
* She wears an Astral choker that is present on her at all times. She is unable to remove it by normal means and has no intention of doing so. When close enough, "Arky" can be read on the setting above the Astral stone, and "As'tarotte" can be read beneath it. Sometimes she idly touches this as if to remind herself that it is still there.
*(Keroas Character model has small baby fangs, Please do not take this as canon fang length. She bears traditionally larger canines. thank you for your cooperation!)

==<div style="padding-left: 5px; padding-bottom: 3px; padding-top: 3px; font-size: 16px; color: rgb(255, 255, 255); background-color:#483d8b; line-height: 1.8em"><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif"><center>'''Behavior'''</center></span></div>==

*Not one to openly reach out and forge companionship, it is rare to see her strike up a conversation. Usually her mood is telegraphed through the language of her tail and ears. Unless directly spoken to, she will not usually speak, however if you hit the right topic has been known to go on one hell of a tangent.

*Used to be easily spotted at the Sands. Nowadays it is rare to see her out at the Sands at all.

*<span style="color:#0000FF">Most often seen wearing some form of facial cover, from visor's to masks. She seems loathe to show her face.
*Cold and abrasive to strangers to the point of being rude.
*wordlessly helps people she deems otherwise incapable, there are a few occasions where she can be seen at pearl lane and stonesthrow distributing supplies to the homeless.
*Usually nowhere to be seen between the 15-20th of each moon unless she is stricken by an extreme case of wanderlust or an emergency requires her attention.</span>

=== Miscellaneous ===
*True neutral allignment based on the [http://easydamus.com/alignmenttest.html Easydamus test]
*When she becomes upset or excited, a noticeable change in her speech pattern occurs. Her words become short and broken, as though she were trying to talk faster...or maybe she just looses control of her tongue?
::'''example:'''"Oh? and just what,exactly do you expect that would accomplish?" Would sound more like, "An' what th' bloody 'ells d'ye think yer doin'?"

*When relaxed, it becomes apparent that she does not have a clear grasp on, or does not care for 'proper manners' As one could easily see her eating with only the use of her hands more often than one would see her use utensils.

*Touched with void energies. those sensitive to it should be able to pick it up.

*Stiff/shy with people she doesn't know, unless in the company of an individual she does know.

*Has acquired the ability to see peoples aetheric aura

*Telegraphs her mood through via her tail and ears, and at times, can be seen holding her tail in her lap to keep it still.

*Will not hesitate to improvise, should the need arise. (using an arrow as a stick for shishkebabs, for instance.)

*scratches at the nape of her neck when she's talking, an idle habit.

*Has an abnormally low body temperature. Cold to the touch.

=== Combat ===

*Keroa is loathe to relinquish her hard earned Dark Magics, and would just as soon toss a fireball at an enemy as put an arrow in their throat. both cases normally call for a bit of distance, but she wouldn't pause to improvise in close quarters if need be, and has been known to risk burns to her own person in order to deter any would be attackers.

</center>

===(Player Characters)===
:<font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">■</font>[[Arky Mosuke]]: It is unclear exactly what relationship these two have, however, it is obvious that they know each other very well, and that Keroa is fiercely loyal to this Seeker.
:<font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">■</font>[[Haruki Aoyuki]]: A rather silent male miqo'te whom she had met through Arky. Ao has recently been 'tasked' with watching over Keroa at Arky's behest. She's found his mostly silent companionship refreshing, as she does not need to restrict her use of magic around him, in fact, she seems to enjoy casting blizzard spells around him. And he seems to truly enjoy each spell. Keroa seems to have developed some special bond with Ao. He's managed to push aside a few of her insecurities. Impressive, for a silent guardian. Ao is one of the rare few to actually fully win Keroa's trust.
:<font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">■</font>[[As'tarotte Hyun]]: Arky's betrothed. She currently wears a collar to match her own, etched with Arky's name, just as hers is. Often mentioned in idle conversations, it is clear she has grown somewhat fond of this Seeker.
:<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">■</font> [[Granil Tempish]]: This Lalafell turned Miqo'te and back offers Keroa a fresh view on her Aether studies, and a rhyme or two to juice things up. Keroa feels relieved that Granil understands aether on the same level that she herself does. And, hopes to test the limits of her knowledge together with him. Assuming he doesn't brew up an explosive during his random musings.
:<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">■</font> [[Lanza Razaul]]: Hired security for Aether corp. After an initially rough few encounters, Keroa wonders if she was to harsh on this blonde hyur. Whether or not she admits it, Lanza reminds her of someone she knew when she was just a child, and finds herself developing something of an awkward friendship with him. He has not been seen in moons. She feels she has driven him away, and silently shoulders this burden.
:<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">■</font> [[Onuma Ahntifi]]: A passing accquantance that has bolstered a bit of Keroa's confidence, claiming that she wanted to get to know Keroa better. Recent event's had led Keroa into telling Onuma about where she came from, and how she'd met Arky. She divulged this information with some reluctance, however, as she merely did so to clear up confusion caused by her incoherent ramblings. She hopes that Onuma will keep those tales to herself, but as she forgot to ask her not to mention it to anyone else, she can only hope.
:<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">■</font>[[Kerr V'yen]]: A blonde haired Miqo'te Keroa met one day on her frequent trips to Ao's house, upon finding the house was occupied, Ao introduced the two of them, and they shared words, at first completely avoiding the topic of themselves. Some time later, Keroa would visit Ao's house once again, to find Kerr badly wounded, bandaged and unable to do more than wince in pain. As he is a friend of Ao's she offered to heal his wounds the best she could. After a short conversation then, she wonders if Kerr is safe to be around, but has promised not to speak of him or his whereabouts. Whether she has done this for Kerr, or herself, remains to be seen. Also: He sent her Rolanberries.
:<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">■</font> [[Alandiel Silmontaix]]: An elezen woman of refinement in Keroas eyes. She is calm and astute, and growing to be a presence she welcomes in the company hall.
:<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">■</font> [[Mikh'a Korofi]]: Without Mincing words, this young calico doctor has saved Keroa from the grasp of death a couple times, and seems to ask nothing in return other than the ability to check on her to ensure that she remains healthy. She is still hesitant to trust the young man, despite having already seemed to bare her soul to him in some small manner. He knows much more of her than she would prefer. All the same she is grateful to have him as an ally, and hopes that she will not come to regret trusting him.
:<font style="color:#B2B2B2;" size="3">■</font>[[L'mila Lania]]: A Demure Miqo'te whom Keroa is had a Hard time dealing with. She vanished once again, but serves a reminder for Keroa to care for herself lest she become too weak to even eat.
:<font style="color:#B2B2B2;" size="3">■</font>[[Altima Zeroblade]]: Altima was another accquantance met through Arky. She has proven to be someone that Keroa has chosen to trust, albiet tentatively, she is quickly growing fond of this battle ready Qo'te, as they share a mutual, odd relationship with Arky. Altima's disappearance, has further solidified Keroa's belief that, in the end, people are only ever temporary, and will end up leaving in the end.
:<font style="color:#B2B2B2;" size="3">■</font> [[Gus Pumpkinweed]]: Keroa has encountered this Lalafell more than once. Each time accusing her of ombrophobia, due to her choice of dress. His behavior may seem a little off to Keroa, however she doesn't think much of it. However, as he has approached her, with the offer of supplying gil and actual supplies in exchange for studies in Aether, she has become skeptical; Most just come to learn, few offer compensation. she has not seen him since.
:<font style="color:#000000;" size="3">■</font> [[Suzi Suzo]]: A Lalafellen spitfire that was brought to Aether one day by Granil. A good baker, and one Keroa would rather not end up on the bad side of.
:<font style="color:#000000;" size="3">■</font>[[Orpheus Arkouda]]: Keroa doesn't know what to think of this one. She is terrified and intrigued all the same and hates him for the simple fact that he cannot respect her personal space, and herself even more for allowing him to do so. she is off put by this beast of a Miqo'te, and is likely to turn tail and try to avoid him if she can help it. He has shaken her to the core.
:<font style="color:#000000;" size="3">■</font>[[Gunther Wallace]]: This charismatic Miqo'te often has Keroa's eyes rolling as she attempts to avoid him at every possible turn. His persistent, optimistic behavior however has been working in his favor. She sees a potential ally in him, and a great potential risk. After all, his line of work is worrisome for this paranoid miqo'te.
:<font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">■</font>[[Lambert Arkwright]]: One that Keroa would sooner forget existed. Her many nicknames for him are "Redheaded Voidsent" "Twelves damned Redhead" and most recently "The Dullard". He has since been confirmed for dead.
:<font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">■</font>[[Yangh Linh]]: Keroa has only had chance, small encounters with this deeply bronzed Keeper, but each encounter has only led to bad things happening.
:<font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">■</font>[[Roswyn Valhuri]]: A young Miqo'te that Keroa met the same day she me Ao. She has been kind enough to help her keep an eye on troublesome Arky. After several incidents involving roswyn and Arky, Keroa feels justified in choosing not to trust Roswyn, and seems rather vehement on keeping the Keeper away from herself, and Arky. Has been reported deceased.

==History==

Sthalwilf Maemrstymmwyn, as her name suggests, is the daughter of Hammer Voice and noted piratess Eyriswerd Keltkhan AKA "Grinning Eyri", captain of The Midnight Kestrel. Steel's life growing up in the thalassocracy was unremarkable by Lominsan standards. Her father was delighted when his baby daughter grasped for his smithing hammer when she was a toddler, and he set to involving her in his trade at every opportunity. Her interest in the arts of armorsmithing and swordplay led her into full training in swordsmanship and light training in armorsmithing, though she was never fully admitted as a member of Naldiq and Vymelli's. Despite this, she embroiled herself in her training and grew up into a powerful example of the Roegadyn race.

Steel Wolf had no aspirations beyond living her days out in Limsa Lominsa until she had met a Roegadyn man named White Stream. The two had a practically idyllic romance penned by bards--their connection was immediate, and the courtship whirlwind. A student of Naldiq and Vymelli's, their shared desire to become the finest smiths in Limsa Lominsa was one of many passions they shared.

Shortly after White Stream was granted the clearance to open his own armory, the two of them married and they set to pulling together the funds to create Steel Wolf Arms--a armorsmith shop named in her honor. To fund the venture, the pair took to adventuring, keeping themselves to leves and security needs of the greater La Noscean area.

The days leading to Dalamud's descent saw White Stream being called to further lands and more dangerous exploits, while Steel continued to aid the defense of La Noscea. Finally, on the eve of the Battle of Carteneau, White Stream was called away to bolster the ranks of the Maelstrom. Despite her protests and her own substantial skill, she was ordered to sequester herself into shelter.

White Stream would never return.

After the rebuilding efforts began to bear fruit, and Steel Wolf was granted time to mourn her slain husband, she began to re-focus her efforts on the original plan the couple had made. Presenting herself to Naldiq and Vymelli's for official training, she began the long process to becoming a recognized armorsmith of the Guild.

Today, she continues her personal quest to see her fallen husband's wishes come true, as well as renewing herself to the cause of liberty for all of Eorzea which he died for. To supplement her schooling, she has once more taken up adventuring, offering herself to the Maelstrom's service. Day by day, she begins to hear the siren call of adventure in lands across the realm, her attentions slowly moving from building shields to becoming one.

==Personality==
Despite the tragedies she had faced at the fall of Dalamud, Steel Wolf remains overall upbeat and optimistic. She is almost always wearing a smile or a smirk of some kind, and is usually ready with a quip or a joke, good or bad, wanted or not. As a product of both Hellsguard and Sea Wolf rearing, she is almost always at odds with her duality in terms of how she presents herself: one moment she'll joke and brag, another moment she'll become reserved and incredibly polite. Even her speaking is caught in between the seafaring brogue inherent of Lominsans and the measured, clear speech of the Hellsguard.

When in battle, Steel's attitude completely changes. Levity gives way to cold precision, and she usually is laser focused on taking down those who threaten the ones she's charged to protect or who would threaten her personally. Years of training with the sword and shield have allowed her to gather and cut down foes with relative ease, and her keen sense of battlefield awareness lends her to being the front of the charge.

Recent personal events have begun to darken Steel's overall demeanour. An attack during a personal anniversary at the lichyard and time spent with the Amalj'aa has shown her some of the darker aspects of the world and herself, and has opened her mind to the concepts of focused rage and cold assault over valiance. As such, she has recently been seen hefting a large axe and carrying herself with a greater sense of power. She has not turned away from the plights of the realm, but she has adjusted away from the concepts of heroism and leaned more into the realm of aggressive force and doing what must be done at all costs.

==Affiliations and Known Associates==
Steel has a loose association with the Maelstrom, operating under conscription than any part of the official rank and file.

===Likes===
* drinking
* making gil
* spending gil
* creating and maintaining heavy armor
* cake

===Dislikes===
* Garleans and Garlemald
* The Sultansworn, though more ideological disapproval than dislike
* cowards
* bad beer
* most merchants

===Areas of Expertise===
* '''Martial''': Steel's primary proficiency is with the heavy weapons of war--swords and axes in specific, though her current preference is for the axe.
* '''Crafting''': Steel is a journeyman armorer, able to fashion and maintain most styles of armor. Her work is basic and functional, lacking high levels of quality or excessive filigree.
* '''Other''': Steel has some aetheric ability, though she has to read notes from a grimoire in order to perform any magic. This ability is very meager at best, however.

===Strengths===
* immense physical strength
* fierce battler
* willing to do most any job for gil
* friendly conversationalist
* loyal friend

===Weaknesses===
* prone to fixating on the past
* tends to charge into impossible odds
* known to have a temper
* heavy drinker
* terrible in private/dating situations

==Other Notes==
===Religion===
Steel is generally agnostic, choosing to not directly revere the Twelve. Her life has been self-focused, and the machinations of gil and its use for survival have her worshipping hunt and job boards over deities.

===Equipment===
Steel is a small mobile fortress, of sorts, seen often in heavy armor and axe, with her chocobo Guldblyss laden with a large enough pack to see her through long trips across Eorzea for weeks at a time away from an established camp. In the moments when she's in a major town, she's usually very simply dressed.

===Rumours===
The following rumours can be heard about Steel, predominantly in Limsa Lominsa or Ul'dah. (If your character has an opinion about her, feel free to add it here.)

====Common rumours====
* She's a wanted criminal and consorts with many like her
* She's a former pirate
* She has a penis (this rumor was spread by a particularly surly drunk she had kicked out of the Missing Member)

====Uncommon rumours====
* She's a bodyguard and strong arm for a large crime syndicate

==Personality==
Sigurd comes off as relatively easy going, usually calm and collected. Not much seems to get under his skin, though that's simply the outward impression he gives. He'd grown thick skin from working in his family's trading business year after year, dealing with people from across the continent who were tired of the heat or just plain rude.

Underneath, Sigurd is a very passionate and ambitious man, genuinely concerned for those around him. He wishes for the well-being of Thanalan and wants to do whatever he can to help prevent another Calamity. He lives with a regret in his heart, believing an incident that happened right before the Calamity was entirely his fault when in truth, it wasn't. He buries the regret deep within him, never showing it with other people as he attempts to hide it. Even so, he tends to speak about his family and past rather highly, omitting the more miserable parts of his history.

With his work with the family trade post, Sigurd has gotten to know a wide variety of customs from various races. He is accustomed to being surrounded by people and thrives in crowds. When alone or simply not traveling with other people, he has a strange tendency to talk to himself, particularly when sarcastically remarking on the current situation.

Being taught to read and keep complex business records at an early age, Sigurd is highly academic. He tends to stick his nose in books and read the things cover to cover whenever he can. He often keeps small books in his pockets when traveling long distances. Despite never receiving a day of formal education, Sigurd knows a wide span of information, mostly by talking to others and reading whatever books he could get his hands on.

As a tradesman, Sigurd is a bit more focused on money than he cares to admit sometimes. Growing up with 7 siblings, Sigurd spent a good deal of the time playing middle fiddle, unable to get funding to buy books or magic-infused gems. This lead Sigurd to turn to gathering and collecting. For the most part, Sigurd gathers materials which crafters consider valuable, but on occasion he'd find strange things like crystals or gems. He has a relatively good understanding of the value of an item, and isn't particularly fond of seeing people throw valuable things away. He has a bit of a gem collection, preferring to keep hold of elementally aspected gems. He also enjoys collecting unusual books.

Sigurd means well in everything he does. His overall initiative is to prevent another calamity so no one will have to feel the pain he felt (and still feels) when it affected his own family. He fled his home to pursue this goal, though his journey had taken an interesting turn when he encountered his first big voidsent. He has become obsessed with researching the void and voidsent and will sometimes forget to sleep or disappear for a few days, burying himself in his work. Everything is about the void and fixing it, because he feels something is wrong. Whenever he encounters a major voidsent, the "crystals" begin talking loudly, calling out his name. He hasn't figured out what the crystals are yet, but he knows this is all somehow connected to the void and to the Calamity. He is relatively open about his research, but he never truly goes into the details of what he finds.

==Family==
Sigurd comes from a rather large family. 5th borne, he's nearly the middle child of 8 kids. His family runs a tradepost along one of the main trade routes near Highbridge in Eastern Thanalan. The post offers a place out of the sun and a refuge when sandstorms would blow across the desert. The post sells various items made by family members. While Sigurd isn't good at any hand crafts, he is good at math and writing, leaving him to keep the books. While the tradepost still stands after the Calamity, his family was thinned out by the Lambs of Dalamud.

Parents:
* Aldwin (father, died from heart problems)
* Aeditha (mother, sacrificed to Dalamud)
Kids
# Kineburga (sister, sacrificed to Dalamud)
# Fredderick (brother)
# Averil (sister, sacrificed to Dalamud)
# Lyell (brother)
# Sigurd
# Hilda (sister)
# Athelyna (sister)
# Leofwin (brother, tempered by Ifrit)

==Trivial information==
* Aldgoat steak is his favorite dish, though he is preferential to any sort of grilled meat. His travels have introduced him to grilled dodo. Sigurd's favorite snacks are ginger cookies and pretzels. His least favorite food is raw oysters. He doesn't like fish in general.
* Sigurd has a bad habit of chewing on the arm of his glasses when he's reading. While he generally wears his glasses, he doesn't need them for reading or anything close. In fact, he didn't know he needed them until one of his guildmasters realized he couldn't read the tapestries on the far end of the building. Sigurd had believed things were blurry in the distance for everyone due to how dry Thanalan was in general and never thought anything of it. The guildmasters then sent him to the goldsmith's guild immediately to get glasses.
* He has replaced his glasses 4 times so far, the first time after he faceplanted into the mast of the ferry ship, once more after his sight got worse, and finally after he lost them over the side of a boat.
* Sigurd prefers two-handed staves and will only use a one-handed weapon at last resort.
* According to his father, Sigurd can barter his way out of a fight with the Beastmen. While he certainly knows his way around a trade, Sigurd claims his skills are not as great as his father says.

He finds her one of the least judgmental people he knows. The two get along smashingly and he really does look up to her strength with how she handles things, especially battle. They share a love of gems and shiny things. Sigurd considers her one of the people he can talk to about anything and she won't judge him for it. She has taken to calling him "Hwyznacht", not that he can pronounce it. It's a pity he accidentally killed her in an attempt to save her life.
*[[L'aenoh Tia]]: a rather harsh miquo'te swordsman who thought it would be funny to pretend to drown Sigurd during his first time swimming. Since Dhem's death, the two do not get along at all.

==History==
For prose drabbles, see [[Sigurd Rainecourt/Stories]]

===Before the Calamity===
Sigurd was born into a trading family. The family owned a popular trade post where they would sell wares and food to travelers wishing to seek solace from the sun or harsh weather. It was also a popular place traveling merchants would trade and sell stock as well. Growing up, Sigurd quickly learned he wasn't adept at any of the tradecrafts, making poor leathers and even poorer food. While all family members could read, Sigurd was particularly adept at reading and math at an early age and kept the books for the family.

The first good few years of his life were the typical life of a trader, involving manual labor and bookkeeping. He began gathering supplies as a hobby, trading extra supplies for books with traveling merchants. Sigurd studied any books he could get his hands on, his favorites were books about thaumaturgy and other magical arts. He worked hard and traded almost all of his possessions for a basic bone staff, and at 15 he learned to cast his first elemental spell, fire. It was an unusual talent for the family, as no one in the known history was ever a mage of any kind.

[[File:PreCalamitySigurd.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Sigurd before the Calamity]]While old enough to venture on his own and start his own life, Sigurd chose to stay with the family and the tradepost while venturing out. He took to travel, delivering messages and supplies around the area. He was drawn to Camp Drybone, seeking out the Aetherite crystal. He was certain the thing was talking to him, but he brushed it off as heat exhaustion. Returning home, he arrived just in time to help fend off a small band of Amalj'aa who had ventured near the outpost. It was his first true battle, and it was exciting as he used his fire magic to do good.

For the next five years, whenever Sigurd visited or passed by Camp Drybone, he swore the crystal was speaking to him. While he couldn't quite understand the words, he knew it was speaking. One day, he finally approached it again, staring up at its tall towering height. It sure was a pretty thing, filled with that aether which fascinated him greatly. As he reached out and touched it, he was struck with loud voices and words filling his mind. For the first time, the crystal spoke in something he could understand, repeating over and over again that the moon was falling. Danger was coming. The words were so loud and the energy emitting from the crystal so intense that it knocked Sigurd out cold.

Several days later, he awoke at the local inn. The crystal was still murmuring but its words had changed once again. "Lambs of Dalamud," it whispered. Sigurd had heard of them. Cultists. Worried, he quickly returned home to learn his mother and two of his siblings had been lured away when they'd gone out to search for Sigurd after he didn't come home, their bodies found mutilated just the day before. Distraught, he stepped outside for some air and saw what the Crystal was babbling about. Dalamud fell to the earth.

===The New Era===
After the threat of the Lambs and Dalamud had quieted, the world busied repairing itself. Most of it, anyway. The incident with the Lambs had driven a strong rift between Sigurd and his eldest brother Fredderick. He blamed Sigurd for the Lambs sacrificing their family members, claiming that if Sigurd had been there, they never would've left the house to look for him. Sigurd wished to defend himself but he couldn't quite explain what had happened that day. He didn't fully understand it himself. Sigurd came to blaming himself for the entire ordeal. Overhearing a conversation between Fredderick and Hilda, Sigurd fled, planning on throwing himself off the landing strip under Highbridge, but ended up stopping himself from doing so.

For three years, he ventured from place to place, helping people out in Thanalan and attempted to refine his Thaumaturgy. He stayed in Blackbrush for some time, helping out the people there until the crystal whispered again, and he left, believing his presence would bring death. when the crystals spoke, they seemed to bring about disaster. He soon moved on to Horizon but soon left there too when the local crystal began babbling.

He found himself having difficulty with the refinement of thaumaturgy, often missing far targets or finding himself worn out. Hearing of the Thaumaturgy Guild in Ul'dah, he caught a lift from a merchant's cart to Ul'dah, offering the driver some odd items he'd collected around the area as payment for his troubles. Again, Sigurd heard the crystals whispering. Shaking it off, passing it off as aether sickness, he continued on his way, joining the Thaumaturgy Guild.

Sigurd dedicated much of his time divulging in the books of thaumaturgy and practicing the arts. While the elements soon came to him, Sigurd found himself having trouble with proper targeting. At first, the guild masters thought it was perhaps a focus issue. In the guild hall, when discussing a banner on the far end of the room, they discovered that it wasn't a focus issue but instead that he simply couldn't see his targets clearly.

It took a few days to adjust to the new glasses, and there were times when he simply forgot to wear them. But soon he grew attached to them, only removing them when pouring over books or similar close activities. Finally back on track with his studies, Sigurd ventured out on a quest from the Thaumaturge's Guild. The guild had received a request to investigate some strange rock formations around a hillside near the train depot.

On his way to the depot, he passed Black Brush where he was certain the aetheryte crystal there was speaking to him again. He couldn't understand the words, but for the first time since he started hearing the crystals talking, this one called out for him by name. ''Sigurd, la malplena malfermiĝas. Ili venas. Venas!'' He approached the crystal and touched it, but it didn't offer him anything which would help him. Just words he couldn't understand.

Unable to know what the crystal was saying, he continued on his way toward the depot. The place was crawling with coblyns, which didn't seem to care that he was there. He attempted to shoo them away anyway, and they chattered angrily at him while then ran off. A large shadow overtook him, and he quickly realized he wasn't scary enough to frighten coblyns. This large creature was.

The creature quickly assaulted Sigurd and nearly overwhelmed him had it not been for a blond hyur stranger jumping into the fray. They quickly felled the creature, and the blond explained the creature was called a voidsent and was after shifts in aetheric energy. The two parted ways, the blond saying he had someone very important to find.

The incident left Sigurd interested in this voidsent creature and what sort of aetherial shift it could be after. Sigurd spoke with Cocobuki, the thaumaturgy guildmaster, about what he'd encountered. Cocobuki explained what he knew about voidsent, though his knowledge about them was limited. The vague information left Sigurd interested to find more. With the warning in mind, Sigurd continued to research more about the aetheric flow, hoping to connect it with the voidsent or perhaps the crystals which kept whispering in his ears when he'd pass them.

Sigurd volunteered himself as a researcher on the subject, hoping to gather as much information as he could on them. The guildmasters were at first wary of the subject, but they could see Sigurd's dedication to it was genuine, that he wished to help people with the information and not use it for something more sinister. They gave him their blessing.

Sigurd poured over information within the Ossuary for days at a time, piecing together any bits of information he could. He'd become obsessed with the idea of the void, drawn to it for some unknown reason. In a way, he hoped the research would offer information on the words he'd hear the crystals whisper, on why they would speak so loudly when the voidsent would appear. His research proved broken at best, offering little insight on patterns. But the research was never enough. There was just always something missing. He knew nothing about anatomy or physiology, leaving his information purely external and magic-based.

His research sparked the interest of someone within Amajina & Sons Mineral Concern. Recent voidsent activity in the mines had sparked a bit of a hysteria after a few deaths when some bombs self-destructed. The representative approached Sigurd, offered to fund his research and travel expenses in return for information to prevent deaths in the mines and quell the hysteria. Sigurd was a loyalist, but he couldn't quite turn down a plea for help. He was a bit wary of the Concern's true initiatives, but the representative assured him that the research would go to protect the people. He couldn't quite turn down the offer, as his true initiative was to help people with his research. The Concern bought him his chocobo, which he named Gingersnap.

While he accepted their funding and returns to them research, Sigurd didn't consider himself a Monetarist. To him, the work with the Concern was a contract, something done to save and protect lives, and perhaps line his pockets just a little bit too. He poured excess into the Ossuary for funding.

===The Coral Sea===
Finally venturing out for something other than research, he encountered Augustine Frost, a rather harsh and marginally terrible guy that somehow he befriended. This odd sort of cross between friends and flirtation drew him to a rather odd fellow by the name of Renaud Becquerel, and after Renaud fondled his chin and told him to grow more facial hair, he easily convinced Sigurd to join the Coral Sea, for the betterment of Eorzea and to make some gil too.

The Coral Sea proved to be one of his better choices to put him on the right path towards doing some good. While some were offput by Sigurd's obsessive research of voidsent, others were willing to share their experiences and information with him. Sigurd began making more connections outside the company as well, particularly a pair of miqo'te twins, A'randr and A'rho, whom he and Dhem nearly teleported on top of one day when returning to Limsa.

[[File:CoralSeaInNym.jpg|200px|thumb|left|[[Sigurd Rainecourt|Sigurd]], [[Stefan Delumiere|Stefan]], [[I'tsu Fhuz|I'tsu]], and [[S'lyhhia Yosh|S'ly]] exploring the ruins in the City of Nym.]]The company received a few jobs here and there, the first one being somewhat disastrous. In an attempt to protect a farmer, the group of Coralites was tricked into killing a group of who they thought were pirates but turned out to be food for a monster hunter. Their second mission had a much more adventurous feel as they ventured into the ruins of Nym, eventually stumbling upon an ancient trap. Their trials and tribulations paid off, as they were rewarded with treasure, and Sigurd walked away with a Nymian tome.

After some adventures, things quieted down, though the crystals whispering had gotten stuck in his mind again. While he wished to seek information on the Nymian tome, he found himself seeking answers about the crystals. He struck up an academic alliance with Raphael Ashe and Reinette Sompt, agreeing to meet up every so often to talk research.

The whispering started up again, but Sigurd pursued his research, leaving for Drybone to research phurbles. He did his best to avoid family but instead stumbled upon his old friend, Ruruna Runa, who had also managed to survive the Calamity while their other friends did not. The whispers interrupted his research, drawing him from it and in the middle of an emergency. Ifrit had been summoned. Not one but four incarnations. He called for help, sending a plea across the company's linkpearl, and sure enough, Coralites swarmed to assist. Ifrit fell, though a team nearly lost its members in the process. Shortly after the incident, Sigurd threw his original journal over the balcony of the Bismark.

Things wound down and Sigurd returned to researching. He'd been tasked with finding vodoriga. Unfortunately they were difficult to find but his research was quickly interrupted by a missive from Dreux, his researcher friend in Coerthas. Garuda had been sighted, and Dreux had heard of Coral Sea's success with Ifrit. He called for help and Coral responded. She proved difficult, mostly after she got upset when Tau groped her during their first encounter. After a chase across the Highlands, Garuda did fall and they left successful.[[File:sigurdreinettevignette.png|200px|thumb|right|[[Sigurd Rainecourt|Sigurd]] and [[Reinette Sompt|Reinette]] at the Celebration of the Trader]]

Sigurd found his research subjects out in Coerthas. Vodoriga. Plenty of them. He spent time researching them, and even on one occasion, he took Reinette along. She confessed to him that she'd been interested in him emotionally, and he confessed he felt the same way. And thus the two became a couple.

Sometime later after research had quieted and the primal threat and been temporarily quelled, the realm came crashing down anyway. During a training session, it all went wrong. Dhem impaled Renaud in a fit of fury, sending Sigurd into a panic. He believed it was a result of the curse somehow, that people simply just died around him. Fellow Coralites calmed him down and he stayed instead of fleeing as he had done before when he believed the curse caught up with him. Sigurd was convinced he'd lost his mind when Renaud downplayed the entire thing.

Things cooled down once again, as they seemed to do with Coral. Dhem decided it would be fun to seek Mistbeard's treasure. Sounded fun enough, so in a small team with Memeli, Stefan, and L'aenoh, the four set out to Hullbreaker Isle to see what they could find. They returned with an old shoe, some cloth, trinkets, and a lot of wounds. Their adventures proved painful, though L'aenoh got the worst of it when he lost an eye to a hornet.

More members became part of Coral, expanding the large, existing family. And that bond was put to the test as the Maelstrom cornered Sigurd, asking for help with a large primal threat. Leviathan had been summoned and was terrorizing the seas. The company set out in two teams, attempting to combat the menace. The first team met the primal seabeast diligently but ultimately lost the battle when the boat capsized. Their efforts had weakened it, at least, allowing the second team to bring victory. The first team, Sigurd among them, washed up on the shore of the Mist, fortunately finding their way home with a few missing articles. Both teams suffered injuries, but nothing which couldn't heal.

Members of the Coral Sea have had a long-term battle with people tempered by the Siren. It began early in the year when investigating a farm which called for help but was in actuality filled with those tempered by the Siren, leaving several members injured and one kidnapped. After a daring rescue came the pursuit of a piece of the Siren's shattered harp. A peddler named Chuck Dongler had acquired a piece of the harp. Coralites pursued and ended up finding the piece and nearly finding themselves in a trap. Fortunately the assassin sent to kill them turned out to be an old friend, T'xidh, the cofounder of the company.[[File:SigurdSirenScars.jpg|200px|thumb|left|[[Sigurd Rainecourt|Sigurd]]'s scars resulting from the battle against the Siren's tempered in their own house.]]

Moons passed, and not a word about the siren or the harp until suddenly the idea of hunting down the rest of the pieces and summoning the Siren themselves to kill her came to mind. Dhem intended to send out a group of intrepid Coralites to find the rest of the pieces, but fate worked against them. Four of the tempered invaded the house, ambushing everyone within. A fight ensued, and Sigurd attempted to stand watch at the door as the four tempered attempted to escape. Dhem took a near fatal dagger to the midsection, and several of the members found themselves temporarily charmed. Sigurd attempted to guard the door, casting some spells to deter the tempered, but the horse-headed man with the axe took a swing at him, snapping his staff in half and sending him clear through the door, leaving him with some very deep wounds and a couple broken ribs.

Despite injuries, he and Memeli attempted to pursue the one with the harp, the horse-headed man, who in the end did get away. Sigurd blamed himself for letting the man get away, but he could barely stand when they pursued him and the pink lalafell. A week later, the Company pursued the summoned Siren. Despite injuries, Sigurd joined the main pursuit group, helping to fight the Siren herself and hopefully bring an end to this Siren saga.

Things turned for the worst shortly after that. Dhem had suffered aetherial sickness due to interaction with the Siren. Working closely with several members in Coral, Sigurd worked to find a solution, ultimately translating a spell which involved magicks from the times of Belah'dia. The spell meant to fix her knotted aetherflow oversaturated her with aether, ultimately killing her. Sigurd took the blame for the incident, causing his severe spiral downward into despair, self-loathing and depression.

==Basic Info==

J'azhar is a people-pleaser. He is genial and good-natured; an inveterate chatterbug and an incurable (read: insufferable) flirt. Even if you are a Roegadyn. ''Especially'' if you are a Roegadyn. If you press him, you might find a certain dry edge to his humor.

He comes from a small clan near the Sagolii that you've probably never heard of, and makes his living - such as it is - plying his services as a dashing gentleman of negotiable affection on the streets of Ul'dah.

This is, he would insist, really all there is to know about him.

==Appearance==

J'azhar is more than usually diminutive, even for a Miqo'te, but what he lacks in stature, he makes up in charm. His skin is a deep brown, though not so brown as some, and his hair is silvery, though not so silver as some. He is usually to be found strolling the streets of Ul'dah (or perched somewhere about the premises of the Quicksands) in sandals, a pair of very gallant red breeches, and a smile.

==Likes==

* People.
* Places.
* Things.

==Dislikes==

* Striking out.
* Appearing unsophisticated.
* The cold.

==Affiliations==

* You. His new friend. You are looking for company, yes?

==Player Rumors==

* ''[Add freely! Reasonable IC knowledge only, please.]''
::* "A good-natured chatterbox who could do with a lesson in his own worth. It is much more than he would have himself believe." - [[Berrod Armstrong]]
::* "He hides. Is scared. Scared of a person. I not know who. Even if not say, feel scared other people too. Maybe not feel good with other people. Very many people is not good. He is nice. I like. He keep secrets. Not say. Want do things alone. I not want him do this. It is hard find him way to say more." - [[Flickering Ember]]

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#585350;font-family:Georgia;">Around strangers, Tiergan initially carries himself in a quiet, cautious manner, working to keep his thoughts and emotions close to the vest while watching closely for the behavior of others. He is easily swept up by anger, passion, and impulsiveness, often acting first and asking questions (or having huge regrets) later. A lifetime of deceit, greed, and trickery has left the miqo'te wary and mistrustful of those around him and he sometimes struggles to be at peace when not alone. With friends and allies, the miqo'te has an even greater difficulty concealing his emotions. The closer one becomes to him, the more he becomes something of an open-book.</div></div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#585350;font-family:Georgia;">Outside of combat, close contact of any kind sometimes triggers intense discomfort if the miqo'te is not expecting it. He maintains a respectful distance from others and often only approaches others in a way that is obvious and offers plenty of time for them to escape or tell him to stop if they feel threatened. Tiergan avoids speaking about his past history whenever possible, except that he was a refugee from Ala Mhigo, and tends not to pry into the history of others if he can sense it's not wanted. Privately, Tiergan yearns for nothing more then something resembling a family or being with a group of people he can fully rely on. However, the very idea of letting down his guard and extending his trust to a large number of people makes him feel so exposed and vulnerable that he avoids doing so at all costs.</div></div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#585350;font-family:Georgia;">Though Tiergan believes the Twelve exist and reveres them, he does not actively worship any of them save for Rhalgr, who he seems to pay respect to mainly in remembrance of the nation that had once been his home. The only god Tiergan will sometimes speak poorly of is Nymeia the Spinner as believes everyone is in control of their own lives and can forge a different path whenever they so choose. He finds the concept of Fate abhorrent, particularly because it would mean much of his life's suffering was somehow destined.</div></div>

: <div style="font-family:Georgia"><font style="color:#616978;" size="3">■</font> '''Listening and Standing in the Ocean'''. After a lifetime of being trapped in the desert, Tiergan loves the ocean for it’s sheer contrast. He enjoys standing on the coast, listening to the waves crash against the sand while the water swirls around his feet and will sometimes even sit in the surf, letting it wash over him. It’s one of the fastest ways for him to relax.</div>
: <div style="font-family:Georgia"><font style="color:#616978;" size="3">■</font> '''Reading'''. Tiergan had a very rare opportunity to learn to read and write during his early adulthood. He jumped at it, hoping the education would help him emulate an Ala Mhigan general he adored as a child who was extremely gifted with words.</div>
: <div style="font-family:Georgia"><font style="color:#616978;" size="3">■</font> '''Friendly Sparring'''. Combat gets his blood pumping and sends a thrill through his veins. The more challenging, the better as it usually means the other person can take hits without breaking and Tiergan can fight more freely. He’s much more leery of doing it around an audience however - due to his history.</div>
: <div style="font-family:Georgia"><font style="color:#616978;" size="3">■</font> '''Rich, well-cooked foods'''. Tiergan is an atrocious chef and should not be allowed anything resembling a kitchen. Because of this, he traesures a fine, well-made meal created by the hands of an expert cook as much as the Monetarists treasure coin. He especially likes Aldgoat Steak.</div>
: <div style="font-family:Georgia"><font style="color:#616978;" size="3">■</font> '''"The little fluffy white cakes from the Quicksand."''' Powdery and delicious, Tiergan could devour these by the dozens. However, depending on who asks, he'll deny his enjoyment of them to his very last breath.</div>
: <div style="font-family:Georgia"><font style="color:#616978;" size="3">■</font> '''Travel'''. As much as he might appreciate having a home to return to, after so many years forced to stay in one place, Tiergan is often swept up by wanderlust that carries him far and wide to explore the greater world and all its secrets.</div>

: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#6f6574;" size="3">■</font> '''Heavy Crowds'''. Densely packed crowds often make it difficult to see who is potentially coming for him and limits how much he can move, or even wield a weapon without potentially harming a stranger on the sidelines. He can appreciate a crowd for helping him disappear into it when pursued, but doesn't like to stay within it for very long.</div>
: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#6f6574;" size="3">■</font> '''Tight, enclosed spaces'''. Tiergan loathes feeling trapped or caged in any manner and will often become anxious in compact places with few avenues of escape.</div>
: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#6f6574;" size="3">■</font> '''Being restrained in any fashion'''. A lifetime of memories being bound is not something easily forgotten.</div>
: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#6f6574;" size="3">■</font> '''Fighting Pits and Arenas'''. While Tiergan doesn't mind fighting tournaments - fights occurring in an arena or coliseum like setting with a large audience makes him feel uncomfortable. Illegal fighting pits also pose the added danger of someone recognizing him and so he avoids them at all costs.</div>
: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#6f6574;" size="3">■</font> '''Battling against mages'''. Due to lack of experience fighting mages, Tiergan is ill-equipped to fight them and has difficulty facing off against them. Magic was something he had very little aptitude for and spells are highly effective against him in combat.</div>
: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#6f6574;" size="3">■</font> '''Being pressed on details about his history'''. Some things are better left buried in the sands of time.</div>
: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#6f6574;" size="3">■</font> '''Loss of Control'''. As reckless as Tiergan can be, he hates losing control of his own body whether that be through illness, drugs, or too much alcohol (though he has a foolish habit of getting drunk while deeply unhappy with something.).</div>

Many of Tiergan's most painful memories are tightly bound around his former-master 'Omen' - a powerful criminal lord so secretive that no one knows his true name, or what he looks like. Unable to find and kill the man himself, Tiergan spends much of his time slaughtering Omen's men and disrupting his operations in the hopes it will strike a blow to Omen's finances and eventually draw him out of hiding. Until that day comes however, Tiergan is content to continue hammering away at his old master's empire ...and potentially kill his way to the very top.</div>
: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#6f6574;" size="3">■</font> '''Family'''. After losing his parents during the Fall of Ala Mhigo and thinking his sister to be dead for over a decade - Tiergan is fiercely protective of family and those close enough for him to consider family, often throwing himself recklessly into danger in order to ensure their safety.</div>
: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#6f6574;" size="3">■</font> '''Redemption'''. His behavior as a slave was cruel, barbaric, and heartless - oppressing and harming those around him in order to gain luxuries and benefits that came as a reward for holding all the others in line. Now as a free man exposed to the wider world outside of the pens, Tiergan looks back upon his history with regret and anger that he'd chosen to turn against those who were like him instead of rallying them. He now spends much of his focus attempting to aid and protect those who need it with the hope that he can one day reach Thal's gates knowing he'd done his best to become something more than the tyrant he was in the slave pens.</div>
<td style="vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Helvetica;"><h3>
<div style="padding:10px 35px;background: #605E6E;font-size:14px;color:#ded5cf;font-family:Georgia;text-shadow: 1px 1px 1px black"><center>'''S T R E N G T H'''</center></div></h3>

: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#6f6574;" size="3">■</font> '''Loyalty'''. Though the miqo'te's trust is difficult to earn, once it is gained, Tiergan is a strong, steadfast ally willing to sacrifice life and limb for those who patient enough to befriend him.</div>
: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#6f6574;" size="3">■</font> '''Stalwart'''. Built to weather the brutality of the Bloodsands, Tiergan is resilient, very rarely becomes ill, and often throws himself onto the front lines to bear the brunt of the damage in battle.</div>
: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#6f6574;" size="3">■</font> '''Combat Prowess'''. Fighting has been a core part of Tiergan's life for over 15 years and what he lacks in military discipline, he makes up for in pure, savage ferocity.</div>
: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#6f6574;" size="3">■</font> '''Tenacity'''. Once Tiergan has set himself upon a task, he is relentless in his pursuit of it and ''will not stop'' unless provided with a clear, solid reason to do so.</div>
: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#6f6574;" size="3">■</font> '''Tracking'''. A skill acquired out of need and pure determination, Tiergan was forced to learn basic tracking skills very quickly in order to pursue targets issued by levemetes for coin - and to hunt down the men of his former master in order to slaughter them. </div>
: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#6f6574;" size="3">■</font> '''Identifying certain drugs and poisons'''. Due to his life as a slave, Tiergan is familiar with an assortment of drugs and poisones often employed by slaving rings and lanistae to subjugate others or force them to do what they desire.</div>

<td style="vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Helvetica;"><h3><span class="mw-headline">
<div style="padding:10px 35px; background: #575D6B;font-size:14px;color:#ded5cf;font-family:Georgia;text-shadow: 1px 1px 1px black"><center>'''W E A K N E S S'''</center></div></span></h3>

: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#6f6574;" size="3">■</font> '''Mistrustful'''. Repeated cycles of deceit and betrayal have left the miqo'te highly mistrustful and paranoid of the intentions of others. While he aches to create bonds and friendships, it can take quite some time for him to truly offer his trust to another person.</div>
: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#6f6574;" size="3">■</font> '''Reckless'''. Tiergan often acts on pure instinct, throwing himself into dangerous or even lethal situations with little regard for his own safety. While sometimes this can work out in his favor, in many cases it reaches a point where it can often be seen as self-destructive..</div>
: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#6f6574;" size="3">■</font> '''Difficulty with Emotion'''. Due to the violent, frenzied nature of Tiergan's past, the miqo'te's often has difficulty keeping his emotions in check, particularly when he feels strongly about something. Intimacy can sometimes trigger a fight-or-flight response from him if approached poorly. He is easily triggered by things that remind him of past events and often handles the subsequent fear or panic poorly.</div>
: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#6f6574;" size="3">■</font> '''Difficulty with Physical Contact'''. Life as a slave has made Tiergan wary of being touched - especially by surprise. His back is a gnarled, heavily scarred mess that is highly sensitive to touch and pain - approaching him the wrong way can even provoke a violent, instinctive response.</div>
: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#6f6574;" size="3">■</font> '''Difficulty combating Magic'''. Though Tiergan is a seasoned veteran of battle, the vast majority of his combatants have been physical melee fighters. Dueling against mages is more alien to him and his lack of experience sometimes leaves him incredibly vulnerable to their attacks. </div>

<td style="vertical-align: top;font-size:9pt;font-family:Helvetica;"><h3><span class="mw-headline">
<div style="padding:10px 35px; background: #605E6E;font-size:14px;color:#ded5cf;font-family:Georgia;text-shadow: 1px 1px 1px black"><center>'''Q U I R K S'''</center></div></span></h3>

: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#6f6574;" size="3">■</font> '''Eye Contact'''. One of the easiest ways to get a read on Tiergan is to watch his eyes. He looks directly at another person when they're speaking, regardless of whether he is angry or sad. However, he will often avert his eyes or even close them when discussing difficult topics that cause him pain, anxiousness, sorrow, or fear. He has difficulty meeting the gaze of another person he deeply respects if he fears their eyes would only carry heavy scorn or deep disappointment.</div>
: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#6f6574;" size="3">■</font> '''Detachment'''. Sometimes when forced to elaborate upon difficult, painful situations, he distances himself - speaking as though he weren't present.</div>
: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#6f6574;" size="3">■</font> '''Aversion to Deep Intimacy'''. While Tiergan's not opposed to the an occasional light fling and casual intimacy, the moment things venture further than that towards a serious, concrete relationship - he becomes intensely uncomfortable and anxious unless approached in a specific manner. He is extremely adverse to people trying to pull him into some kind of serious relationship long before he's ready and may respond with panic or violence if pushed too far.</div>

[[File:imggoesleft.png|280px|left]][[File:imggoesright3.png|280px|right]]<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 10px;font-size:13px; color:#585350;font-family:Georgia;">With numerous scars running across his flesh like a latticework and a body swathed in a mix of plate, chain, and leather - Tiergan looks every bit the gladiator he once was. He is tall for a miqo'te, standing at 5 fulms 8 ilms with broad shoulders and a thick, heavily-muscled frame. His skin is a golden bronze color further deepened by time in the sun - the richness of it marred by various scars of many types. His hair is a stark white, carelessly cut and styled without much regard to appearance. One need only to glance at the male to realise Tiergan places far more value on his clothing and possessions being functional than beautiful..</div></div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#585350;font-family:Georgia;">Tiergan typically maintains a strong but subtly aggressive posture, his frost-blue gaze fierce, sharp, and occasionally cold. He rarely seems relaxed and even at rest, can appear to be a calm shell with a simmering tempest just waiting beneath the surface. The miqo'te is almost always in armor and even his more casual clothing reinforced in one way or another - particularly at his back - to offer him protection regardless of the situation.</div></div>

Zaius Rhal'seer

Flickering Ember: /* Rumors */ Added a rumor!

<div style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:12px;">
<div style="background:#5B5B59;font-size:50px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;"><center>''''' Zaius Rhal'seer '''''</center></div>
<br>

<center>Former slave, current mercenary, killer. On first impression, Zaius is disturbingly outgoing, with a zeal for living, yet given over to violence; dedicated to the art of hand-to-hand combat, taking every fight offered, living for the moment, and concerned only with enjoying life to the fullest, whether in combat, at the forge, or in the kitchen(?!).<br><br>

A refugee from Ala Mhigo, brought over the sea as a child by his teacher and her husband, Zaius honors their lessons in combat by using them, finding the greatest satisfaction from a fight to the death. Practitioner of a fighting style learned in the temple of the Fury of Halone, a rare and frowned-upon subsect of the Fists of Rhalgr, he fights with equal parts skill, madness, and fury.</center><br>

<spoiler><br>
Sixth Astral Moon, 1577 (Nov' 2013)
::* After wandering Eorza without particular aim or desire, Zaius settles down in Ul'dah after hearing that a 'pugilist' guild has opened, using gil earned through his adventuring to purchase a modest home. <br>
Third Umbral Moon, 1577 (July' 2013)
::* Zaius reconnects with Tiergan Vashir, discovering him as part of a Free Company. Joining it expressly to pursue and re-ignite their rivalry, he and Tiergan brawl viciously in the courtyard of the company several times, eventually leading to their mutual departure after rising tensions prove too intense to resolve.
First Umbral Moon, 1578 (Feb' 2014)
::* Zaius joins a mercenary company unlisted on most records, with no history to it, known only as 'Aeon'.
Fourth Umbral Moon, 1578 (August 2014)
::* During a battle with [[Varus Adelric Rosenthal]], Zaius' home is one of several destroyed by the magical forces unleashed. At first he seems to have sided with the magus, and briefly fights with [[Brynhilde Wulf]] before choosing to stand against Varus as one of his spells injures everyone present. In succession, he.engages a mysterious masked agent of the Magus', Varus' right hand Rukira Michaelis, and then joins the rest of Varus' opponents in fighting the spellcaster directly. By the end of the battle, he has weathered Garlean technology, numerous magical assaults, and hours of combat. He survives.
::*While waiting for his next bout at the Wolf's Den, Zaius' attention is drawn to a seemingly-possessed Zaku Degenwulf, the latter easily battering and besting a half-dozen Maelstrom as Zaius watches. Confronting him alone, the two fight briefly before Zaius is brutally wounded and thrown into one of the jutting rocks near the dock, left to drown in the ocean. He survives.
::*A little over a week later, Zaius would confront Zaku in front of Cliffperch, engaging the other once Zaku made it clear he was not possessed so much as afflicted by a form of rage Warriors would on occassion succumb to. This time the fight ended with Zaius breaking Zaku's jaw, Lacey Orwell preventing him from finishing the Highlander off.
::*A third encounter with Zaku would end in a similar fashion, the two destroying a good portion of the furniture in Cliffperch before once again [[Lacey Orwell]] intervened along with Faolan Woodlock to stop him from killing the Highlander.
Sixth Astral Moon, 1578 (November 2014)
::*Confronting [[Teld're Eska'aldren]] near Oschon's Torch, the two finally give in to their mutual desire for conflict, engaging in a battle to the finish. While Teld're revealed the ability to manipulate his own internal aether for defensive and offensive purposes, Zaius' modified armor and his techniques enable him to hold his own. The fight ends inconclusively, with [[Tiergan Vashir]] interrupting them before either can kill the other.
::*Only two weeks later Zaius and Teld're meet again. This time Teld're lures the Keeper into a battle in a lake, upon which he uses his aether to turn the water into a series of razor-sharp blades, savaging Zaius and driving his armor deeper into the resulting wounds, as well as battering him senseless once he can no longer stand as a result of the blades. Zaius is dragged into a nearby cabin by Teld're, who watches him throughout the night. He survives.
Sixth Umbral Moon, 1578 (December 2014)
::*After a significant bidding war with [[Rukira Michaelis]], Zaius wins a date with [[Tiergan Vashir]] for the sum of 3,000,000 gil. For charity.
::* Zaius is introduced to [[Aiouxdaux Beaumont]] by Teld're. The two promptly fight, with Zaius pinning Aiouxdaux down, only to find the elezen had slipped a dagger between the plates of his armor, damaged by his magic earlier. Rather than release Aiouxdaux, Zaius opts to tear his throat out, and is stabbed in the heart in return. He survives.
::*Zaius takes on Staelufre as a student, who seeks to learn one of the arts of his school. After failing to incite in her the anger needed to use the technique, he resolves to find something to bring forth the necessary emotion...
First Umbral Moon, 1578 (February 2015)
::*Having helped [[Staelufre Lysmerl]] to find her anger by kidnapping both she and her future husband [[L'aenoh Tia]], he calls her to Coerthas. There, after a brief skirmish, Zaius passes on one of the techniques learned as a Fury of Halone to her, enabling her to survive a mortal wound received during their fight. Satisfied at her learning, he offers to continue teaching her less esoteric fighting skills. She accepts.

Zaius stands at 6 fulms even with solid, powerful limbs. He has a very developed build as compared to most Keepers, having taken great care and effort in maintaining proportion and flexibility despite his size.

[[File: Zaiustorso1.jpg|thumb|right|]]

Zaius has a heart-shaped face, with a strong jaw. His eyes are a deep, bright gold. They express his emotions vividly, anywhere from his normal amusement at most things, to the blank, mindless savagery he can display in a fight.

Her hair is thick, and he keeps it fairly short in the back and sides, barring either one or two braids towards the front. His bangs tend to fall in front of his eyes when he goes too long between trimming it. Before his second fight with [[Teld're Eska'aldren|Teld're]] he kept the ends of his hair dyed blue in front and on his braids. However, the aetheric energy released by Teld're somehow dyed the ends of Zaius' hair in those parts blood-red, the hair now simply naturally changing colours as it reaches the length. Zaius has elected not to bother looking into getting the effect reversed because it's a time saver, and it matches his armor nicely.

[[File: Zaius_frenzy_large.jpg|thumb|left|By [[Lurial Vashir]]]]

Despite his very violent lifestyle, Zaius' armor usually bears little sign of wear and tear beyond scuffing and the occasional cut across the leather or gouge in the metal portions of his armor. As a talented blacksmith and leatherworker, he maintains and modifies his own equipment, preferring to base the look and build of it off of old gladiatorial armor he used to wear. This not only allows for a good amount of flexibility but also serves to throw off opponents that don't know any better; expecting to easily cut or punch or cast through simple leather, the darksteel plates and layered chain beneath give him more durability than one would normally expect.

Strangely for someone that had spent their entire life training to fight or fighting, Zaius has no scars or distinguishing marks. The reason for that is a modified technique learned from the Fury of Halone school, which builds on the 'second wind' ability to allow for immediate, and slow steady healing. While nothing close to a healer's magic, it allows a fighter able to summon the necessary rage and focus to prevent otherwise mortal wounds from finishing him off, as well as preventing scarring. Unfortunately the time required makes it unusable in a fight, or at least not without an incredibly gracious opponent.

Zaius speaks with a rather low voice, one that matches with his build. Whenever he gets excited or cheerful, which is often, he tends to get loud; when he gets quiet things aren't much better either. His eyes are extremely expressive, anywhere from when he rolls them to when he's about to throw a fight's first punch, to when they nearly empty completely when he gives into his rage.

He often prefers to lean against things, getting a good view of a room, and tends to keep quiet in large groups, but otherwise comments on anything and everything without regard to what people think of his opinion.

====<div style="background:#5B5B59;font-size:30px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;"><center>'' Strengths ''</center></div>====

Zaius' most obvious strength is his literal strength; while those that succeed at the arts and techniques involved in being a monk can already perform marvels like rapid bursts of speed, breaking rocks with bare hands, and the like, Zaius has spent a great deal of time honing his body. Whether toughening his joints or striking points by hitting hanging sheets of metal, to what he regularly eats, to daily exercise, Zaius has always determined that the best way to win a fight is to make sure you don't need a weapon to do so. He's strong enough to carry another miqo'te under one arm like a sack of grain, and has been able to throw even roegadyn about, although certainly not with ease.

Following that train of thought, Zaius has been following the path of unarmed combat from almost the moment of his birth. First trained as Fury of Halone, then after his imprisonment as a slave grappling, even spending time at the Ul'dah pugilist's guild to see what there was to see, Zaius had been fighting and killing with nothing but his body for nearly thirty years. While able to wield other weapons, and recognizing the advantage offered by heavy plate mail, and in fact very proficient in the use of a heavy axe, oftentimes putting a weapon in Zaius' hands makes the Keeper ''less'' effective.

Zaius was given work in trades before his enslavement, thanks to his parents, and continued them where possible until he was freed. While cooking is his passion, he is also an exceptionally accomplished blacksmith, able to craft the most difficult of works, and a very skilled leatherworker as well. His dedication to improvement has served him well when it comes to his three trades.

====<div style="background:#5B5B59;font-size:30px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;"><center>'' Flaws ''</center></div>====

Once Zaius had decided on a course of action, he can rarely be persuaded from it. This can be dangerous for himself and those around him, as while he's capable of looking at things from a long-term perspective, he can often be impulsive, doing things that are socially and morally unacceptable.

In a fight he will not surrender, even while in a position of obvious disadvantage. Zaius knows that it's his fate to die on the battlefield, whether it's today or tomorrow matters little to him. He'll throw himself against seemingly impossible odds, and while he's survived to date through his own skills, the aid of others, and fortune itself, sooner or later a day will come where all three are not up to the task of keeping him alive in the face of overwhelming odds.

(More to come!)
[[File:zaiusplaceholder.png|thumb|left|]]

====<div style="background:#5B5B59;font-size:30px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;"><center>'' Romance ''</center></div>====

Zaius' views on romance are fairly odd, something he would point out is likely a result of his upbringing. While he has been in an ongoing relationship with [[Tiergan Vashir]] for some time now, both agreed that taking other occasional lovers would be acceptable, especially as Tiergan prefers to keep his relationship with Zaius, if not secret, certainly quiet. On occasion, the two have even had the same lover at the same time, something that Zaius takes no end of amusement in. Despite doting on Tiergan in private, the two bicker constantly, competing in almost every way that comes up. Zaius' philosophy of never having anything he couldn't stand to have taken from him if need be is stretched to the limit by his relationship with Tiergan.

Qualities he looks for in a partner include being straightforward, determined, opinionated, and stubborn. Zaius also enjoys helping to draw people out of their shell when it comes to romantic liaisons, not being one for jealousy. Someone with a strong physical presence, who isn't afraid to fight for what they believe in, or what they want, or...just fight, really, draw his attention quickly. Despite finding someone appealing from a physical and emotional standpoint however, Zaius tends not to pursue very far. He is more likely to flirt shamelessly, especially if the person in question is already in a relationship, double-especially if the person's partner is there. The fact of the matter is, Zaius is rather picky as to whom he decides to chase after with determination, and while he has had a few one-night-stands, he prefers something more long-term, whether that be more physical encounters after the first, or something less carnal.

Zaius has never had much cause to distinguish between men and women when it came to persons he finds appealing.<br><br>

<div style="font-size:15px;" align="right">[[Zaius Rhal'seer#Character| [TOP] ]]</div>

==<div style="background:#5B5B59;font-size:40px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;"><center>''''' Combat '''''</center></div>==

<br>

<br>
Almost without exception, when called upon to fight Zaius will do so hand to hand. Even a simple sparring contest is, to the Keeper, a contest that can only end one way; death. Otherwise, how is someone supposed to know if they're truly better, if one of the combatants is holding back? With that in mind, recent developments have come to show him that some people are more interesting alive and dead, and to that end he's returned to using a bare handed style while 'only' sparring. His learning didn't end with the disappearance of his teachers, and after he was enslaved he had a variety of instructors, further honing his abilities and expanding them beyond striking to including grappling, and wrestling, fighting in close quarters with little room to move.

In an actual fight, where he's looking to slay an opponent, Zaius will usually make use of a set of gauntlets he crafted himself, each finger covered in segmented, layered armor to allow for grappling and flexibility, and each ending in a razor sharp point. Patterned on his old gladiator mail, but crafted and re-crafted each time new metals are discovered by metallurgists, the gauntlets are capable of matching most contemporary weapons of the time.

Against opponents such as dragons, Voidsent, or the like, Zaius employes a reforged copy of the ancient Relic Weapon known as Kaiser Knuckles. Much like with his gauntlets, he is constantly upgrading and reforging them as new options become available, although that often requires relying on a certain smith near Fallgourd Float...

Zaius' stamina is seemingly inexhaustible, enduring endless hours of combat, as well as wounds and beatings, its rare to see the Keeper ever need to take an extended rest. As long as there is a fight nearby, the violent chaos seems to feed the Keeper, urging him to continue fighting until there is no one left standing. A good part of this is due not only to the techniques he learned from his various teachers, but the exceptional conditioning he puts himself through. Despite his immense build, he is flexible enough to raise a leg up and over his head, and strong enough to hold it there for a good period of time. As one of his opponents observed, it seemed like speed and mass were not properly explained to Zaius Rhal'seer.

While able to disrupt certain spells using various techniques meant for silencing enemies, Zaius himself has no talent with the magical arts, either offensive or defensive.

Aware of Garlean technology and its dangers, Zaius has familiarized himself with certain facets of their equipment, at least enough to break it effectively in combat, including magitek armor, gunblades, and most of their warmachines.<br>

<br>
<br>
Adventurer, gladiator, ex-slave, mercenary, madman. Zaius has been all of these and more. He doesn't show any remorse or hesitation in discussing his past, whether his cruel training as a child, or the violent tendencies that continue to this day. While no assassin, Zaius until recently had worked for both sides of the law, especially in Ul'dah, where enough gil could be passed around to ignore a Keeper and his role in fighting whomever needed fighting. Recently however he has somewhat bettered his reputation by working to keep the Beastmen tribes in check, as well as performing more 'honest' work for the three city-states, including joining the Immortal Flames...only to switch to the Maelstrom mid-battle during one of the engagements in Cartenau, with the reasoning that he'd gotten bored always fighting for the same side, and needed a change.

While his first love in trade has always been cooking, taking a good bit of satisfaction from a well-made meal, especially a challenging one, it is seeming more and more that his true gift might lay in metallurgy. Specifically blacksmithing, to which he has taken quickly and with aplomb. Devouring challenging tasks and difficult crafts with equal hunger, he's set to his work with hammer and file almost as intently as he has his hand to hand combat. In a distant third remains leatherworking, although he's more than skilled enough to repair and even modify his own armor, mingling two of his talents together to improve his own equipment.

Rarely, Zaius finds himself with a free moment or two when he's not fighting, training, or working on his tradeskills. In those incredibly infrequent moments, he has a few books stashed about his home. While he enjoys sitting down with one of them, his attention is never occupied for long.

===Family===

Zaius was born under a different name, to the master teacher of the Fury of Halone temple in Ala Mhigo. He refuses to give the original names of his parents, or his own. They both went missing during a dangerous job more than fifteen years ago, and he's long since given up any chance of seeing them again. The person behind their disappearance was dealt with, essentially closing the book on Zaius' family.

'''Father:''' Unknown ''(deceased)''<br>

'''Mother:''' Unknown ''(deceased)''<br>

<br>
===Linkshells and Organisations===
[http://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/showthread.php?tid=6868 Aeon] Free Company: In the year 1578 Zaius registered with a relatively unknown Free Company known only as 'Aeon'. Other than offering standard mercenary services, little was known of them. While privy to their secrets, this is one of the few topics that Zaius won't disclose a great amount of detail on. Instead, he offers up only that they were a great deal of fun, a wonderful source of ongoing strife and violence, and that if any curious folk were to learn more, he could give them the opportunity to join them...if they asked.

[http://coralsea.enjin.com/ The Coral Sea] Free Company: Late in 1578, after departing Aeon, Zaius signed up with the Coral Sea after undergoing their interview process and (in an amazing act of oversight) managing to pass.

In the structure of the pens, the most dangerous would assume the rank of Alpha, and be responsible for keeping order. In exchange, they received numerous benefits, from better food and lodgings, all the way to trips outside to spend gil earned by forcing the the rest of the slaves to stay in line. It was after becoming Alpha of his own pen that Zaius was sent to Tiergan's, who was Alpha at the time, to bring the arrogant slave to heel...a curious choice, given Zaius' own mannerisms. Nonetheless, he succeeded, unseating Tiergan within a week, after Tiergan had held the position for three years. What began as a relationship expressed through steel and fist quickly turned lustful as well, although Tiergan never did manage to take back the position of Alpha, and more and more Zaius began to offer the former Alpha is protection from the various other slaves that Tiergan had once reigned over. Zaius lost track of Tiergan for several years, only tracking him down when he registered with a Free Company. The two remain together, albeit in an open relationship, with the understanding that, sooner or later, Tiergan always returns to the Keeper. The fact that the two are slowly beginning to admit actual feelings towards one another has made their relationship more challenging than ever before.</td>

<td style="width:50%";><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Teld're Eska'aldren]]''' : Recently introduced to Teld're by Tiergan, Zaius immediately found something in the other miqo'te that reminded him of himself at a younger age. Amused by the self-revelation, he immediately challenged Teld're to a fight to the death. After Tiergan broke up their first encounter, they had a rematch without interference, with Teld're using his advantage of aetheric manipulation and a carefully chosen battlefield to savage Zaius. Given the nature of the fight, Zaius was rather surprised to wake up the next morning, and resolved to get to know Teld're better. This has resulted in several more encounters, including a particular memorable cooked stew.</td>

<td><font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Brynhilde Wulf]]''' : Leader of the free company Aeon, Zaius respects Brynhilde a great deal for her decision to lead a group of people he considers to be mostly crazy and self-destructive, himself included. Well aware that Brynhilde does not return that respect, the fact doesn't seem to bother him in the least. While they briefly fought during the Varus incident in Ul'dah, he looks forward to the chance to actually make a solid attempt at killing her.</td>

Finding out her actual loyalties did little to dispel Zaius' enjoyment of the few times they'd met in combat, and while both battles were 'unofficial', Sophia's identity disguised, he greatly appreciated her skill. Despite leaving Aeon, Zaius looks forward to a future rematch, and attempts to keep ties with Sophia, knowing that her inevitable actions on the part of her homeland will result in chaos and violence...both of which he'd be loath to miss.</td>

<td>'''<font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font>[[Varus Adelric Rosenthal]]''' : Introduced to him through his interest in Aeon and their mysterious nature, Zaius at first regarded the magus as a loudmouth overconfident man, prone to going on at length about his own superiority. However, after witnessing Varus easily besting several members of the free company, his interest in the magus was piqued. Tracking him down through mutual connections in Ul'dah, the two conversed at length, Zaius enjoying the discussion regarding morals and ambitions, before parting on neutral terms. During Varus' attack on Ul'dah, Zaius was more than willing to fight against Aeon for the thrill and the challenge, but an aetheric attack done by the magus quickly had Zaius turning on him. Afterwards he was one of the few the magus revealed his rebirth to, initially, trusting correctly that Zaius would keep the fact to himself in anticipation of future conflict to come. Zaius was disappointed to learn of the magus' subsequent disappearance, if only because the magus' talent for wreaking havoc would be sorely missed.</td>

However, when Zaku Paku was given a new name, Zaku Degenwulf, and somehow transformed into a far more physically imposing Highlander, Zaius took notice. This would culminate in three fights while Zaku found himself unable to master the inner rage that came with Warrior training, becoming almost-possessed. After two attempts to finish Zaku off were interrupted by [[Lacey Orwell] he considers the matter closed, and Zaku a fun fighting partner...at least until one of them kills the other.</td>

<td><font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font>'''[[Flickering Ember]]''' : Zaius finds the young roegadyn's utter lack of social graces and complete honesty refreshing rather than irritating as some might. He also considers her innocent in a sort of odd, roundabout way, especially given how quickly she jumps to 'kill the bad people' as a default method of dealing with a dangerous situation. She's one of the few people that Zaius would actively defend instead of assuming that they would simply be fine on their own, as her naivete means that others could take easy advantage of her.</td>

<td><font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font>'''[[L'aenoh Tia]]''' : First encountered over a mysterious 'link' similar to one shared by the members of the Free Company Aeon, Zaius decided to take L'aenoh up on what he believed to be shameless flirting. Arriving at the house of the Free Company Coral Sea, Zaius discovered that L'aenoh had no intentions at all of following through with Zaius' interpretation of events, and was in fact in a long-term relationship with [[Staelufre Lysmerl]]. Zaius promptly brawled with him down the stone steps of Mist and out onto the beach, before tying him to the bed in the medical wing of the Coral Sea house. He enjoys the other's willingness to resort to violence within a short time frame, and while he finds the other male appealing, he respects L'aenoh and Staelufre to keep to playful flirting and little else. Recent events regarding his training of Staelufre have soured L'aenoh's attitude towards Zaius (specifically when Zaius kidnapped him and tortured him in front of Staelufre), while Zaius himself simply takes the other's foul temper in stride. Zaius also attended the twosome's wedding, as well as baked their wedding cake. </td>

<td><font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font>'''[[Staelufre Lysmerl]]''' : First met in front of Coral Sea House, Staelufre immediately demanded retribution towards Zaius for attacking her mate, [[L'aenoh Tia]]. With the other Coralites insisting the fight would not be to the death, the two fought for several long minutes before Zaius, seeing something familiar in her eagerness to fight, accepted her request for him to train her in his healing technique. After several brutal training sessions designed to allow her to feel the rage necessary to use the skill, she successfully used it to stave off a mortal wound, impressing Zaius with having learned the technique in a matter of months. Recently his treatment of her during their training has come under intense scrutiny by the leader of the Coral Sea Free Company, as well as L'aenoh himself, towards which Zaius feels no particular guilt. In his opinion, Staelufre now has a formidable survival technique that will enable her to fight longer, harder, and more frequently. Her bouts of rage-fueled killing are, in his opinion, a fair trade. Zaius attended her wedding to L'aenoh, and also baked their wedding cake. </td>

===''1548 - 1557 : The Ala Mhigan Years''===
<br>
<spoiler>
Zaius Rhal'seer's true name has been lost to the ages, except perhaps a long-forgotten registry buried and charred, somewhere in the fallen temple where the Fist of Rhalgar monks kept their records. Also the name of his teacher and her husband, Zaius' mother and father, and the ones who gave up their home, their duty, their faith, and their friends to give their son a chance at freedom across the ocean, in the strange continent of Eorza. Before that however they raised their child from birth to be a weapon, one that would defend Ala Mhigo against enemies without and within, one of the Fists of Rhalgar. The two practiced a frowned-upon variation of the martial arts and chakra aligning done by the Fist of Rhalgar, their sect known as the Furies of Halone. While the Fists were based on learning centering, balance, using their chakra to bring focused ruin upon their enemies, the Furies focused on unleashing the inner fury, raw primal instinct and the desire to win at all cost. While fearsome opponents in combat, more than once their temple came close to being sealed for the effects such training took upon the mind, body, and soul.

To that end, Zaius was told to kill for the first time when he was 6 years of age.

A treasured pet was put before him, and he was told to slay it. After a great deal of abuse he finally did so, not with the skills he'd learned, but with a knife sharpened to a razor's edge. He cried, as a child should have done. In front of the class, their teacher, his mother, berated him for how long he had taken. In private, she agonized with her husband; the two had hotly debated which school to enter him into, and had decided that he would follow in his mother's footsteps, as Fury. After seeing him suffer, she thought about abandoning his training altogether...yet together the two resolved to continue teaching their son. By now the city was beginning to turn on itself, the rebellion being funded and prosecuted in the shadows by the Garlean empire growing and seething. Many of the monks and fighters fell in with these elements, but there were those that saw what was to come; the end of their nation. So it was that with heavy hearts, Zaius' mother and father reached out to a trader from the continent of Eorza, a rare friend made on the field of battle, and made their decision: they would leave Ala Mhigo, abandon their sacred duty, their faith, their years of service, all for the chance to spare their son the horrors of what was to come. To escape their fellows, to be branded as traitors, and hunted until the war itself came in force would have killed nearly anyone.

Zaius was 9 years old when he and his parents made it to Ul'dah, weeks ahead of the war that never was.

</spoiler>

===''1558 - 1564 : The Streets of Ul'dah''===
<br>
<spoiler>Life in Ul'dah was hard, even before more and more refugees from Ala Mhigo began to stream into the city. With few skills beyond their ability to kill, Zaius' parents were forced to take whatever work came their way, regardless of how moral or immoral it might have been. Fortunately for Zaius, the two had dedicated themselves to an entire city, a religion, as a way of life; rededicating themselves, now to their son, made it easy to ignore who they were defending, and who they were attacking. Not unaware of the dangers a pair of Keepers of the Moon living with their vulnerable son could bring down on themselves were they too vicious or cruel however, the pair took care to never work too strongly against one group or one side, the exception being the various Beastmen Tribes. Recognizing their own limits as a result of their focused training, they resolved that their child should have more options.

Zaius' original name and tribe are long lost...or at least until I decide to actually develop them.

The correct pronunciation of his name would be "Zeye-us Rhal-Seer."

This character is on the Balmung server.

Zaius is rather coarse, blunt, and violent even when joking. Please remember this if you decide to say hi.

'''Jancis Milburga''', a [[Category:Hyur|midlander hyur]], is an merchant's daughter orphaned in the Twelveswood and forced to come into her own.
==<div style="background: #BEBEBE; padding: 0.5em;">''Appearance''</div>==
Jancis is overall quite plain in her manner of attire and appearance; though she keeps herself kept she does not follow the fashion or trends of higher classes or wear makeup.
Her hands are soft and she'll typically wear gloves to protect them. [[http://imgur.com/a/7x8pw Album of References]]

Jancis has an alto voice range and no vocal training.

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

'''Scars:'''
*A knife scar across her cheek done in a traditional design which has stretched and faded as she's come into adulthood. Received as a child.
*A keloid scar with a spider-like style with thin branches on her stomach and on her lower back; gotten from being impaled with a conjured stalagmite from [[Melfice Vainchelon]] in disguise.
*Left leg has uneven texture from a zombie attack during the onslaught at Ul'dah's gates headed by [[Jin'li Epinoch]].
*Right shoulder has small jagged scars from the claws and teeth of a possessed imp attack. Received while rescuing [[L'aenoh Tia]] from a dark blood mage.
*Three indented slots on her left side starting at her lower ribs which look like a giant fork stabbed her (which is what happened). Inflicted by [[Augustine Frost]] while under the influence of "Pink Primal" [[Memeli Meli]].
*Left arm has speckled skin coloring from burns and aether damage, a mix caused by [[Jana Ridah]], [[Delial Grimsong]], and fighting Louvel for [[Ja'ren A'lenthin]].
*Right hand has very faint white lines in the shape of teeth, caused by [[Reginald Ozrik]] biting her hand during an ordeal and healed hastily to lessen backlash.

==<div style="background: #BEBEBE; padding: 0.5em;">''General Demeanor''</div>==
Jancis is awkward socially, ranging from blunt questions to over elaborate sentences as if talking in a storybook.
She calls nearly everyone by some kind of title and will avoid saying the name of people she does not care about.

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

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

==<div style="background: #BEBEBE; padding: 0.5em;">''Combat - Views/Behavior''</div>==
[[File:Mark Crilley Manga Shading.jpg|350px|right]]
*<b>Skills</b>
:*While not very smart in battle, Jancis does not fear it. She will go in and try to support everyone she's an ally with regardless of her own safety.
:*As a conjurer, Jancis is sensitive to the elements and through training has become more sensitive to the aether and magicks around people she's close to, giving her an edge on healing serious conditions at crucial times.
:*She's light of foot and quick to find a place she thinks will not hinder her allies.
:*She is trained in poisons and venoms, taking them herself in small doses to build up an immunity. She will use it as a rudimentary attack by throwing and misting as a distraction.
:*Trained with basics of a shield and staff. Usually does not have both at once and will two-hand whichever she has. Carries a wand and has natural items on her person at all times to form conjuration.

*<b>Weaknesses</b>
:*Jancis is typically too preoccupied watching her allies she fails to watch out for herself and would be an easy target.
:*Her strength and dexterity in a fight is not too keen and she would easily fall in one-on-one battle.
:*Her ability to "read" aether is a novice level, so things that are unnatural or done by an arcanist she cannot undo by the same means. She can do little more than sense the presence of aether.
:*Being a conjurer, she relies on her voice to call out to the elements to assist her. Anything that would hinder that or interrupt her would leave her to rely on physical abilities alone.

==<div style="background: #BEBEBE; padding: 0.5em;">''Tendencies''</div>==
[[File:Jancis Milburga 16-bits - by Ilweran zpsregqfop1.gif|right]]
:*Jancis grew up mostly on her own out in the wild of the Shroud. Her habits and words do not follow current culture 100%; she will use odd terms and not understand idioms.
:*Wearing pants her entire childhood, she compensates for typical 'style' by wearing leggings.
:*Apologizes constantly.
:*Tends to be hands-on with people, touching their arm or shoulder, and does not understand the concept of personal space.
:*Gives everyone a title, typically using their first name along with it. Lord, Lady, Master, Sir [[http://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/showthread.php?tid=8054&pid=103830#pid103830 Resource]]

• '''[[A'rho Tia]]''' - A humorous and giving aether user and something of an artist to Jancis. She is easily enchanted and smiling at the man for his witty humor and curious ways he shows care to those around him, particularly his twin brother and L'aenoh. "Master A'rho".<spoiler>
[[File:Arho_wiki_profilepic.png|200px]]<br>
'''Notes'''
*Has a twin brother A'randr, who is he very close to.
*Can manipulate aether into a carbuncle as an extension of himself.
'''Past Events'''
*Met via Rinilda and spoke in-length at the Grindstone one night about healing and even assisted in smaller wounds.
*Met again and spent a good deal of time together during All Saint's Wake where the man continued to encourage and compliment the conjurer's costume.
:*Won the story contest with the girl and mirror.
*Most of the time he comes around the house, Jancis gets distracted and unknowingly helps the man steal many of the juice boxes L'aenoh keeps at the bar.
*Coming to Leanne's picnic, Jancis aether travels with A'randr and he gets very sick. She tells A'rho who claims that his brother could have died and is furious. She feels very calleous and neglectful for leaving A'randr as he was.
*A'rho was marked by the voidsent Mistress Gwendoline. During the fight, A'rho came by and was helping with the wounded at Coralhaus. Asked to look into this voidsent Gwendolyn, he took a sample of everyone's blood to hopefully figure out the problem. Becoming marked himself, he worked to help stop her influence by calling everyone affected together to share information and come to a resolution. Held one of the rings that contains Gwendoline's feelings and memories.
</spoiler>
• '''[[A'randr Tia]]''' - Shy smiling man, Jancis has a strange fondness for the quiet and stoic figure. Finding him quiet and kind with a weird awkward bashfulness, she always tries to talk to him for no particular reason. After seeing his childish display, she keeps her tone more polite than before considering how poorly his body and temperament react to hardships. "Lord A'randr"<spoiler>
[[File:Aran001.png|200px]]<br>
'''Notes'''
*Brother of A'rho
*Has sweaty hands
*Sells tobacco and other smoking novelties.
*Enjoys juice boxes, particularly apple.
'''Past Events''''
*Met at the All Saint's Wake party, unable to talk to him with all the commotion and crowd.
*Going to Leanne's picnic, the two travel via aether which leaves A'randr ill. Telling her to go on ahead, Jancis finds out later how bad it affected him.
*Making a leftover eel dinner, Jancis asks Sigurd to make juice which the twins help with. Coming over with surprise cake, A'randr destroys an orange in his hand which Jancis helps clean off while quoting from a book.
:*“If love were a color, it'd be orange. Not because that's a romantic color, but because it's the sweetest. If you want to know how I feel about you, I just made some juice out of it. Grab a glass—a tall one.”
*A'randr found out that A'rho has been marked by the voidsent Gwendoline and asked for a sample of blood to follow-up with, giving to alchemists he knows. After asking about the results, the man avoided answering and had a fit about a strange woman in his house. Jancis hasn't seen him since and worries what happened with her contaminated blood.
</spoiler>
♠ '''[[Alveo Soulseeker]]''' - Jancis met Alveo while working as a support in the same Free Company and ended up having feelings for the sailor. Once recovered from his life-long ordeal, they confessed their feelings for one another and were to be wed.<spoiler>
'''Past Events'''
*Uponing joining the Harbingers of Dawn company, Jancis got wrapped up in a personal condition of one of the soldiers. By chance missing the worst of his afflicted curse; she ended up trusting Alveo and his companion Rynn.
:*While mostly being forced to be a source of outsider support, Jancis continued to bring aid and deal with the awkward man with a gruff demeanor. She was there when Alveo defeated Illear, freeing himself, and found him to be much more than a cold husk.
*Looking to prove her worth and ease the conscious of her beloved, Jancis joined the Maelstrom as a medic. Unknown to her, this only caused her lover more worry and concern. Her current work has her going along the coastal towns assisting the locals with their ailments and concerns.
*''Al-well that ends well'': After many trips North to find her beloved and assist him in his ordeals and endeavors, Jancis continued to find only traces left behind by the man. Contacting his other friends and mentors, whom had not heard of his ventures nor received word back from him, as well as sending multiple letters she was assisted in the end by another friend who confirmed Alveo was actively receiving her correspondence and was going on his own missions of his own accord. Though heartbroken, she learned to live with his decision and discontinued her trips North or holding out for contact; knowing his indecision before about a life of settling down and his refusal to put her into danger clearly trumped any importance she held on his heart previously.
*Being brave and strong-headed in a rare occasion, Jancis lost her proper demeanor with Sir Filangieri which led to a complicated encounter with the two. Alveo finding out and taking it poorly, Jancis decided in order to "forgive herself" to take up a huge amount of debt to protect Alveo. Jancis was indebted to Lady Tasa.
:*Reuniting with Alveo by chance while working, he convinced her that they could "go home", but the soldier's true intentions were to goad the knight Sir Filangieri into a fight. After being humiliated in front of the others, Jancis was strained with thoughts of giving up on her beloved. The situation was more compounded by his additional apologies and a very intimate offer. Jancis' trust in Alveo has improved dramatically from the sailor's continued efforts to compromise with the stubborn knight.
*Key events including rejoining the Maelstrom, night of the Pumpkin Cafe opening, and Dhemgeim's nameday celebration have solidified Jancis' commitment to Alveo.
*In a show of loyalty and to give Alveo clarity, Jancis has entrusted him with her most precious possession: a silver charm bracelet, infant-sized, with a seashell-shaped charm bearing the engraving "L.F.".
*At Alveo's lack of concern and mix-up that he intended to take on a near suicidal job for a shady mercenary group, she struck him. Anytime this is brought up, Jancis feels very guilty.
*Alveo proposed on the 30th Sun of the 3rd Umbral Moon, after the Grindstone they traveled to the Sagoii Desert where the two had first realized how much they cared for one another. While Jancis did not grow up knowing such culture of marriage outside of fictional books, she is excited about the title and reacts to it, particularly from Alveo.
*With a surprising change, Alveo has gone North to assist his mentor in an emergency call. Cleaning out their home and resigning from his position with the Coral Sea and the Maelstrom.
*With little word of his departure, Jancis finds his mentor and learns he has no information on his departure nor had insight of it, much as he does not care for the woman.

♠ '''[[Bartolomeo Filangieri]]''' - A well respected knight, Jancis met Sir Filangieri her first night with the Harbingers. He left quite an impression on her from his approach and kindness, even taking a particular interest in one of her childish toys. After a particularly crucial fight Jancis has dropped her overly-polite demeanor with the knight which can easily be taken the wrong way. She also reacts acutely to his mannerisms, be them good or bad. She will follow his direction without question. Jancis will refer to him as "Sir Filangieri" strictly. Whereabouts unknown.<spoiler>
[[File:Bartolomeotier.jpeg|200px]]<br>

*At the Coral beach party, Jancis treats the knight in a particular way which causes him to kiss her. Saddened by her childish mistakes, she ends up apologizing to both him and her then betrothed.
*Losing track of the man's movements through Ul'dah and then Gridania, she believes the man dead or gone.

• '''[[Berrod Armstrong]]''' - Fist fighter and leader of the Agents. Jancis admires the strength and compassion she sees in the man. His gruff demeanor throwing people into realizing the potential they hold, despite the quite and reserved manner he treats her in with their brief meetings. She thinks quite a lot of the man and his company; relying on their hospitality when she passes through the desert. "Sir Armstrong" "Berry"<spoiler>
[[File:BerryWIKI.png|200px]]<br>

*Had to heal at Grindstone previously when the man would fight in it. Every time she did, he is quiet and reserved.
*Meeting again moons later, Berrod had a striking difference in character, bright and energetic, to apologize and thank her for all the tolerance in front of an intra-FC argument and fight.
*Attended his bonding ceremony to Caleb. Missed the reception due to many circumstances and her dress being used for bandages. [[http://i.imgur.com/w30BkpA.jpg Scene]]

Coming to visit him in Reinette's room, he talks of runes and trying to understand who put it there and what kind of holy metals were used to create the ring within. He shares there is a 'man' called Telos that might help, but has to be reached in dreams and apparently holds no love for Faolan. The three decide to go to Faolan's house in Coerthas to find out what they can. Still having some of the inchor that came out of Faolan, they will test the ooze to see if reacts to anything, particular some special daggers of metals Teld're is versed in understanding.
:*Reinette shared that Faolan wanted to do the surgery immediately and felt compelled to in his haste less he look for someone dubious to do it.

• '''[[Kale Aideron]]''' - Once Knight of Ul'dah's Sindicate now Bloodsworn of the Immortal Flames. Continues to run into the man time-to-time and assist him with small tasks.

</spoiler>
<font style="color: #AC58FA" size="3">♥</font> '''[[L'aenoh Tia]]''' - Trained and rustic swordsman with few wits about him beyond his heart. Continues to do the best for this "hunter" as far as dealing with his wounds and problems from his past. Jancis now cooks a particular skillet bread specifically avoiding baking for his sake. Also is very protective of the man and will put up with most anything he dishes out, but continues to fail to protect him from harm since healing is a large ordeal for the man. He is something of a weakness for Jancis, getting upset easily about someone threatening to harm him or actually harming him. Other names "Ganzjaega", "Abarsoemr", referred to as "Sir L'aenoh"<spoiler>
[[File:L'ae_2.png|200px|right]]

*Has a complicated glyph on his back, inhibiting his aether flow.
*Creates crazy drink concoctions.
:*Green Bottle: Every shot can taste like something else and have a different effect.
:*Black Bottle: Tastes nice, but shoots through the person in half a bell.
*Carries people like sacks of popotos.
'''Current Goals'''
*Understand the glyph on his back and find a way to remove it.
*Talk him out of relying on Hnaba's 'mentor' for his problems.
*Try to renew faith in the man after outright attacking Coral members.
'''Past Events'''
*Jancis truly met the man after Dhemgeim impaled Captain Renaud, particularly for glaring at Alveo.
*While baking cupcakes with Hnaba and Memeli, Jancis takes a look at the empty socket L'aenoh's eye was in, which he hadn't cleaned. She insists on cleaning it out and finds out more about the hornet that stung it and festered. First hint that the man cannot be healed, but Jancis completely misses it.
*Touch based on with dealing with the man's odd behavior of staying away from everyone, particularly Zhen. The two later on drifted apart.
*''Hunting the Hunter;What is Love? Hnaba Don't Hurt Me, Don't Hurt me, No more..''L'aenoh Tia is kidnapped from the Coral House which leads into a nightmarish love crush with a demented woman and the painful aftermath.
:*L'aenoh is taken from the Coral house, Still Shore, by force.
:*Following any leads she can find regarding the struggle and kidnapping of his man which has led her to Gridania. Following her Guildmaster's urgings that the elements speak of a disturbance in the Central Shroud along with fellow company members Tausenadel Geispyrsyn, Q'nagali Yehn, Guillaume Rigolant, and Hnaba Jinjahl. As Hnaba leaves to search other leads, the other four find Hnaba at the place of the disturbance alone; a house covered in blood with an obvious place of capture with other such horrors of gore. Confronting the miqo'te, Hnaba slips down a secret passage in the floor which the other give chase on.
:*The group finally catch up to Hnaba in a defiled spire, surrounded by imp-like creatures that cry out thankfully in men's voices when slain. The fight proves difficult, knocking out Q'nagali and Guillaume from severe injuries, but eventually the remaining Coral manage to subdue the insane woman.
:*After much probing and being forced to a point to batter Hnaba with her shield, L'aenoh is found still clinging to life in a cell. Jancis' is particularly troubled by another corpse that is found in the search that was dressed up in L'aenoh's clothes but was burnt to death. The only way she could tell it was not the miqo'te was his eyepatch was on the wrong side.
:*Recovering and returning to the Padjal E-Sumi-Yan, Hnaba is handed over to the Wood Wailers and the rest of the company's wounds are treated by the conjurers. The same evening, L'aenoh is found by Staefrue wandering south back towards La Noscea. Panicked, Jancis give chase on foot to the wounded man. Unable to deny his tortured request the three travel to their house, the Still Shore, aggravating Jancis' wounds. Having to backtrack to Gridania and other locations, Jancis continues to delay her own healing and recovery.
:*Making a grave error in trying to heal L'aenoh further, Jancis resolves to find what Hnaba poisoned the man with and try it herself so she can duplicate the effects and find a potential treatment for it instead of the trial and error on someone else.
:*Getting help from Chuchukepa Hohokepa, Jancis finds out the main ingredient is somnus. Going to Ul'dah, she looks for a means to treat the withdrawal. L'aenoh also asks her personally to find something to deal with his shakes, be it from forcing the information from Hnaba or other means. Finding the notes of an late alchemist, Jancis goes to reproduce the detoxification serum in hopes it will help the hunter's pains.
:*Cici ends up helping Jancis with the main need of somnus through a mysterious "shadow knight" C'kayah Tia. Jancis is honored for the reason the man decided to help, as if he did not assist in the course of love, he would dishonor his guardian deity.
:*By using notes gained from a dead alchemist and adding in to the somnus a growing percentage of blood plasma and a purifying catalyst, Jancis was able to create a serum that could wean the person off their addiction and rebuild natural functions. While the serum itself takes a lot of blood and an illegal substance, the conjurer is relieved greatly that L'aenoh is able to recover without pain.
:*While recovering from battling the Leviathan, trouble comes from L'aenoh's room to find that Hnaba is there tied to a chair and beaten half to death. Jancis takes action in an ill-swept attempt to take the woman's life in a merciful and quiet manner (quiet as it can be with her screaming). The woman is kept in Stefan's room while L'aenoh mills over believing that she can deal with the seal on his back.
:*Learning that L'aenoh also has a aether flow problem, due to a arcane seal on his person, can contribute to his problem with healing and recovering from his addiction. A'rho Tia is looking into the seal and its structure. He is making the mistake of hoping Hnaba will shed light on his condition and the reason for it. [Scene]
:*After seeing the condition Hnaba is left in and also the house that L'aenoh and Staelufre have together far from the troubles in the Still Shore, Jancis gets L'aenoh to agree to finding out what he wishes in the next few days, or she will return Hnaba to Gridania.
:*Checking in on Hnaba in her 'prison', Jancis is abhorred to see the filthy and broken condition she is in. Franz Renatus fixed her hands and Jancis takes it on herself to wash up the woman. Chaska Dakwhil and Reginald Ozrik are also present, looking on as Jancis is forced to wash the crying Hnaba. Runes are found on the mattress in blood and removed by Franz.
:*Following days L'aenoh take Hnaba out to question her and find out about the seal on his neck, restricting his aether. Learning of a mentor in Southern Shroud, Hnaba is slain, much to the pain of Chaska and Reginald.
*Offers to take Jancis to the Starlight Ball, which she declines because he confesses he was going to ask Lady Edda first and only asked to make Oscare leave. L'aenoh does not trust the man for his blatant declarations of being Garlean.
*Learning that L'aenoh became part of Staelufre's "fury training", the man was wounded which upsets Jancis greatly. She stays the night to ensure their safety. [[http://i.imgur.com/JR20ZFV.png Scene]]
*Attended L'aenoh's bonding to Staelufre, hearing about a fight. In the end it all turned into word fluff, Jancis confirming it over and over.[[http://i.imgur.com/QE3gNTq.png Scene]]
*During and after helping X'kohu with corrupted crystals embedded in his body, the man kisses Jancis and tries to hold her. L'aenoh keeps a keen eye on the other miqo'te. Jancis bothers her friend for romance novels, or 'warm books' to help her cope with the lack of love. [[http://i.imgur.com/JhnzKeO.jpg Scene]]

• '''[[Kurt Steel]]''' - Axeman, cook, and retainer of the Red Wings. Jancis met him in a curious way that has made their initial contact awkward from her own actions despite his kind, protective, and attentive mannerism. She's taken up the habit to writing him letters. Overall, her mannerism to him is conflicted in the urge to help repair the wounds she sees within him and the her belief in her inability to without taking them on herself. "Lord Kurt" "Kurt"<spoiler>
[[File:KSteel.png|right|200px]]
'''Notes'''
*Sable Hall's Steward
*Raised in Wineport by his mother, who is a tough cookie.
*Has the ability to channel fury, an old warrior skill.
'''Current Goals'''
*Receiving word from Kurt, Jancis waits patiently to speak to the man face-to-face about their previous encounter. Hearing about a wound he received up north from Cliodhna, she head to his Company's Hall to help with his recovery from poison.
'''Past Events'''
*Acquaintance meeting at Cliodhna's Drinking Contest where the man was helping manage the event. Jancis had noticed his endless supply of food offers to guests and also how he ran off with a large waraxe to get a fresh kill for Spahro.
*At a fundraising auction for guard services, Jancis uses some of her debt to help out with the funding. Giving Leanne a large platinum coin to bid on Kurt and make sure he went for a fair price, Leanne takes it further and matches the bid to ensure winning. She then introduces the two where the man insists on helping both of them for their contribution.
:*"Cashing in" the bid, as Kurt put it, the two travel across part of La Noscea as he shows the conjurer different parts of the isle he use to travel in his youth. [[http://jancisstuff.tumblr.com/post/119402518268/ic-log-meeting-kurt Log]]
:*Learning more about one another, Kurt takes a "gamble" and declares he is interested in getting in line with the others looking to court Jancis (wherein she says no one is).
:*Continuing from seeing the coral reef off the coast of del Sol, Kurt takes Jancis swimming to touch them, then makes a bold move later on. Sure she could not simply accept such a kiss, she departs.
</spoiler>
♥ '''[[Lan Darklyn]]''' - The sword of the Harbingers and knight figure from the desert, Jancis ran into the man and (by chance) became fond of him. A semi-sad coincidence, Lan looks somewhat like Jancis' lost love, save for the short hair and sapphire eyes. The feelings were more complicated as she learned more of the man's past to nearly match with hyur fostering and training, as well as running into one another from short meetings long before. She nearly sees the man as the success she wanted for herself, and tries to assist the man in subtle ways so his life stays happy and prosperous unlike the 'twin' she fell in love with. "Saint Lan" "Sir Darklyn" "Lan".[[http://i.imgur.com/bPi3GGz.jpg Lan Darklyn]]<spoiler>

*Jancis met early on in her travels and re-met at the auction. To keep the man from being bid on by his subordinate, Jancis gave the highest bid.
*Offered to assist her and the priests of Athlyk in pilgrimage and has continued to have the Harbingers involved, coordinating guards for Halone and having Arrelaine handle Menphina's pilgrimage.
*Followed-up on failed assistance with "Lynx". Though the woman was put in Jancis' custody, she failed to remove the foreign aether or persuade the woman to have it removed.
*Update with the status of the Red Ruby Assassins.
:*Asked for help from Lan and Val about assassins she had been following, Jancis was also attacked and needed a safe house to stay in. Lan offered the hidden room behind his office, where she stayed for a fortnight to recover. [[http://i.imgur.com/iKbijVj.jpg Scene]]

♥ '''[[Leanne Delphium]]''' - Jancis met while healing at the Grindstone, impressed by her ability to deal with pain while Jancis tended to others with more serious wounds. The lady appears now and again to sing at pilgrimages and around Jancis, always sharing more about herself especially in love to be a kindred spirit. A comforting presence. "Champion Leanne" "Lady Leanne"<spoiler>

*Find out more about the Red Lotus stones. Leanne is The Harp.
'''Past Events'''
*Met at the Grindstone when the lady held onto her own shoulder wound waiting for the other opponents to be healed in a rather brutal round.
*After assisting Captain Dogberry to deal with the Primal Moogle King, heard Leanne sing for the first time at the hot springs in Outer La Noscea.
*Encouraged the travelling bard to have a home base with people who care about her, joining the Coral Sea.
*Dealing with an insane northern house, Leanne helps physical deal with the problem and recover Lady Edda.
*Bard for pilgrimages to [[Lore:The Twelve|the Twelves' stones]] for Nald'thal, Nophica, Halone, and Thaliak.
*Check in with Leanne about her broken heart and inability to sleep. Sent her out to find Cali's Poppy flowers to make a helpful tea or tincture. The two ended up singing together and sharing some woes about lost love.
*Leanne down more than usual, Sir Gegenji thinks up a surprise party with friends to cheer her up. Jancis brings along a small book with a long poem that reminds her of the bard.

♥ '''[[Memeli Meli]]''' - One of the Coral Sea, Memeli has a crazy reputation for being a caring bold company kin and a diabolical arcanist of unquestionable power. Jancis usually tolerates the lady's antics and is used as a piece of furniture by her. In case the lalafel tries to either slap or lie to Jancis, she has gotten into the habit of grabbing Meli's hair. Their continued relationship improves and Jancis has found a very soft and supportive spot for the strangely sweet lady. "Lady Meli"<spoiler>
[[File:MemeliMeli.png|200px|right]]
'''Notes'''
*Very sensitive to hair grabs, but Jancis has also adopted the gesture to show fondess.
*Loves sweets.
*Has the strange ability to try and subdue people with chemicals.
*Unknown cosmic aetheric powers lie within.
'''Current Goals'''
*Ask for counsel regarding Virara and this dependence the woman feels to someone she calls 'Master'.
*''Memeli's Bread and Butter'': After heading to a ruins for other reasons, Memeli falls under a curse from the ghost of a white mage.
:*Realizing that the ghost is leaving clues to draw Memeli in, others go with her and fall under some spell that punishes them with sewn up mouths and their tongues split to keep them from talking. The night goes on while tending to wounds to follow Ehla in finding the lost Coral Captain who 'fell into the box'.
:*Recovered initially was a white mage staff which is currently missing.
'''Past Events'''
*''Meli the Primal'': After following along with another one of Memeli Meli pranks, many members are sent on a while goose chase for a riddling pantry thief. While "rewarding" Jancis, Meli's kiss leaves an enchantment that makes the conjurer obsess with the lalafel and her wishes.
:*From the serious insistent urging of Jezune Garinthe, Jancis shakes off the spell and is left confused as to what happened.
:*Later on, many others get entranced by Meli's trick and the company is forced to physically fight them to break the enchantment. Memeli gets grounded for her dangerous tricks.
:*In front of the Sultana's area, Jancis defends Memeli in that she did nothing wrong to the Jewel's ruler. Backed up by others of Coral Sea, they all leave.
:*After this ordeal and getting wounded in the transgression, Jancis is quick to pull on Meli's hair if she needs to and does not accept kisses from her.
::*Jancis has three "dash lines" from a lance wound (the lance was shaped like a fork) before of this prank.
*Has been invited to Memeli's room with other ladies for rituals Memeli calls "Slumber Parties". The ritual usually ends up speaking truths of life in the matters of love, eating a lot of sweets, and then falling asleep. [[http://files.enjin.com.s3.amazonaws.com/623462/module_gallery/original/2147469.jpg Scene]]
*Memeli is suffering, sleeping long times and having time lapses in memory. Searching her aether flow, the arcanist's body is flooded with a chaotic ramble of elemental aethers and none with her own distinctive natural mark on any of them. Realizing the woman has supplemented her own powers with random crystals, the fear of her contracting the same curse Dhemgeim had is alleviated. Working with Reinette to help purify the aether flow in Memeli, the condition clears up so the primal can return to her usual activities/schemes.[[http://files.enjin.com.s3.amazonaws.com/623462/module_gallery/original/2205273.jpg Scene]]

She enjoys talking and listening to him. "Master Ojune" <spoiler>

<font style="color: #AC58FA" size="3">♥</font> '''[[Oscare Iono]]''' - A garish huntsman turned tragic figure, Jancis was really taken from his care and concern over Cici's exhaustion when they met. Jancis blunders in their friendship by dishonoring the man with her attempts to repay him and make him smile. She continues to watch and visit the man, despite how much his rejection upsets her, doing her best as he ends up running off. "Oscare" "Sir Iono"<spoiler>
[[File:Ffxiv_11012014_182920.png|200px|right]]

*Oscare openly admits his Garlean roots and some of his intentions, which makes reefs between them depending who is involved, forcing the highlander into a shell of emotional suffering.
*Has violet eyes and multiple scars around them.
*Has a family still alive and will talk of his father and two sisters in particular.
*Has a rosewood crane he carved, a mechanical toy man that shoots confetti he made, a rare aether-weaved red scarf, a card with the Queen of Diamonds on it, and a hair clip with feathers of a rare bird the man hunted. [[http://i.imgur.com/OHoRiin.jpg Crane]]
'''Past Events'''
*Aged Rumor: ''"It's almost like Nophica herself blessed that girl with the power of eternal kindness. If I ever met a gal nicer than her, I think I may just faint."''
*Jancis met Oscare at the Pumpkin Cafe while he was working as a bouncer along side Cici. Jancis was really taken from his care and concern over Cici's exhaustion, offering to walk them back to the city and giving up all his pay for a room at the inn.
:*After meeting that time, Oscare would often come up behind Jancis and cover her eyes, asking her to guess who he was.
:*After sending him a barrel of pears she picked to show gratitude to helping Cici, the man calls for Jancis over the Coral Linkshell. A ton of the company shows up for this meeting which intimidates the man, but Oscare ends up hugging Jancis and thanking her for the pears and gives her a picture book of his family.
*Jancis had gotten involved with a friend's contract to find a thief. Not knowing the ultimate plans, she knows the man has taken an important heirloom of Oscare's. With Alveo agreeing to assist, she took it to pursue the problem and help the tall hunter. After finding out the man who stole the bow is known to Oscare's family, the man was found in a hideout in the Shroud. Oscare and Alveo took on the group and recovered the heirloom ending in a nasty fight. [[http://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/showthread.php?tid=5431&pid=91226#pid91226 Post]]
:*In a journal of family notes and pictures Oscare gave her, Jancis finds that in some of the pictures of Oscare and his dad, Oscare's dad was carrying a simple bow with a small piece of ruby on both ends of the bow. Overall, it looks like a standard longbow, but with gray and yellow stripes. Oscare's dad has the same skintone as Oscare, same purple eyes, and has vivid red hair.
*After the Grindstone contest where Oscare lost control and tried to kill Hornet, Jancis was charged with caring for the man the night after. Able to visit him at the Agents' bar briefly, Jancis noticed the scarring around his eyes and the color of his eyes a startling violet. Her trust in the man dwindles as he continues to fail controlling himself.
:*Oscare's comments over losing his memory with the Warrior Stone and his current mannerisms are recalling memories of another's actions and behavior, only to conflict Jancis all the more.
:*Ran off crying "I'm sorry." Repeatedly. Jancis has written the Iono family, hoping they have some kind of recourse to comforting the hunter.
:*Attempting to get others to assist in the troubles of the highlander, Jancis contacts Oscare's family for advice, the returning message is from Oscare himself in a very warm and confident letter asking to meet up with her. [[http://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/showthread.php?tid=8166&pid=109775#pid109775 Letter]]
:*Meeting with him again, Jancis receives a beautiful rosewood crane figurine Oscare carved himself.
:*Weeks after posters are put up around cities for a Starlight Ball, Oscare comes to the Coral household and, after some fiasco with injuries, Oscare manages to ask if Jancis requires an escort to the Ball in a very awkward and nervous manner. The day after he returns apologizing for asking her and, after remarking on her attire, vanishes again.
::*Oscare attempts once again to ask the conjurer to the Ball, who is immediately snubbed by L'aenoh as he quickly debuffs the attempts by the highlander claiming he would escort the woman.
::*At the Ball itself, Oscare avoids Jancis the entire night, despite her attempts to see him and even offered to dance. After the fact she arrives at his quarters to offer and is once again rebuked.
*Oscare hosts a Story Time out in the cliffsides of La Noscea, where Jancis offers out snacks and tells a children's story about Minglo Moving the Mountain. [[http://i.imgur.com/VUm5jzl.jpg Scene]]
:*Oscare drops off a card from his company, the Agents, thanking Jancis and her company for their assistance in a dispute and discord in their own halls.
:*Getting advice from the bard [[Nathan Telluride]], Jancis once again attempts to help soften Oscare's demeanor and bring out the happy man she first met.
:*[[https://soundcloud.com/akirakosemura/light-dance-with-violin Oscare arrives at the Still Shore in a navy blue suit and performs on the violin as a gift to Jancis.]] "I am happy." "That is also a gift." "Maybe I do it for a reason?" [[http://i.imgur.com/N4zg1nT.jpg Scene]]

*Being told she can request his presence 'when she wishes', Jancis invites the highlander to the farmlands in La Noscea to show him a 'magic trick' which is more or less a conjurer training exercise with wind and water. The trick ultimately lures birds to come fly around Oscare in search of seeds. Calling it 'beautiful' he runs off quickly afterward instead of smiling as she hoped.
*Invited to attend the bonding of Kayllen Stormbringer and Sojiana, other Agents, afterwards the two gave wishes and blessings at their guardian's stones. [[http://i.imgur.com/U0pIE4l.jpg Ceremony]] [[http://i.imgur.com/VPvenT1.jpg At Thaliak's Marker]]
*Called to the Goblet, Oscare presents her with a little mechanical toy she doesn't really understand beyond its amazing ability to spit out confetti and fanfare. A gift for Little Lady's Day. During so, he confirmed that his actions, gifts, and manner are a show of friendship and not an act of courtship.
*Performed at the pilgrimage for Thaliak, disgracing the celebration.

• '''[[Osric Melkire]]''' - A Sergeant of the Immortal Flames, Jancis knows little of the man but believes the best of him.

<font style="color: #AC58FA" size="3">♥</font> '''[[Otto Vann]]''' - An eccentric artist from Ul'dah, Jancis met the man while he was dressing one of her company members. By random chance the man continues to come to her for her opinion and now some of her work in dealing with concoctions. More concerned with the man's well-being, Jancis continues to learn and tolerate his extravagant lifestyle to get a glimpse of understanding this man's way of thinking. Very willing to help the man and is still amazed by the amount of detail the man can pay attention to; she cares deeply for the troubles that no one else seems privy to or could even fathom.

*''You Otto Know'': Jancis continues to run into the artist "by chance" and ends up having strange and endearing conversations with. The man's lifestyle is confusing for the conjurer, but she does what she can to help this, overall, good-natured highlander.
:*Jancis is a part-time advisor for the man, trying as she might to make it more as a friendly favor than a paid service.
:*Not finding gil to be overly valuable herself, Jancis continues to turn down the abundance of wealth Otto offers her.
::*In lieu of monetary payment, Otto has gifted her a workspace consisting of a table, chairs, and some tools. He handmade a wardrobe from walnut and other Glade-natural wood and stocked it with a dress and other garments (she uses it for more storage like a pantry as well), and a quilted bed-like fur rug. Many plants as well. [[http://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/showthread.php?tid=5431&pid=110260#pid110260 Story]]
:*In connection with the Sultansworn, Otto asks for Jancis' knowledge and connections with [[Coatleque Crofte]].
:*In a very kind gesture, Jancis has accepted his help in searching for her fiance, [[Alveo Soulseeker]], who hasn't been heard from in three months. Working with Otto's right-hand, [[Ridley Silverlake]] returns with news that Alveo's group was slain and the man is missing in action. She also provides other records of Alveo's activities, proving he has been moving and working beyond need to be away.
:*Though uninterested in the outskirts of Coerthas, Jancis comes to support Otto's fighting ring in comforting fighters and assisting with wounds.
:*Supplies Otto from time to time with a 'medicine' that consists of herbal concentrations of tea to assist the man in sleeping and keeping awake. The orbs are covered in chocolate and are almost more of a placebo as far as how potent the effects are.
:*After the murder of his love, Anna, Jancis hopes to find a way to help the powerful man cope without acting on pure vengeance.
:*Surprised with a luncheon treat, Otto takes Cici and Jancis out for finger sandwiches and pineapple juice on the beach of the Mist after Jancis' ordeal with the warehouse attack.

::*Talking about her own problems, Otto has heard about one of the people who attacked Jancis and how wants to know the other woman's name.

:*Otto joins the Coral Sea's plight to cease the Leviathan's attack on the coastline and he gets wounded badly. Chaos ensues in the house, leaving Otto to deal with the pain with narcotics and semi-healing. Scarred by the show of weakness and embarrassment that the bruises and wounds would bring to a man of his status, he starts secretly training in lance-work pushing his body to extremes. Finally meeting up with the man, Jancis feels guilty and tries to apologize, but only ends up talking about other 'things of interest' like Leanne's heart and Jancis romantic situation with Z'enath.

</spoiler>
♦ '''[[Renee Becquerel|Renaud Becquerel]]''' - Captain of the Coral Sea. Jancis knows very little of this man and finds him full of rumors and contrasting behavior, going between a caring father figure to a careless and ruthless figurehead.

*Got involved with dealing with Gwendoline, which pains Jancis greatly for his cold demeanor with reminding her of killing the lost and calling her an 'incompetent hunter'.
</spoiler>
♥ '''[[Reinette Sompt]]''' - Alchemist and the Practitioner of the Coral Sea, Jancis admires the pacifist for her determination and benevolence. She also delights in the many books belonging to the elezen woman. Jancis follows the lady's direction particularly in the welfare and care for the others in the company. "Lady Reinette"<spoiler>
'''Notes'''
*Her right hand is severly burnt from what Jancis knows as a fireplace accident, though it is clear the wound has many layers of old scar tissue and neglect.
*Keeps notes and records of her lost mentor which shocked and tramatized the woman severely. Jancis knows the man had a tragic ending (though in reality he was tested on victims and the like which has eluded the conjurer's knowledge and leads her astray in comforting the woman.)

*Try to mend the wounds between the lady and her love with neglect and selfishness.
:*After asking Sigurd about his lack of attention to her and how busy the woman is, the man confessed he is self-focused and his offers have gone unanswered. Jancis has confronted Reinette about this clash, getting an answer from the lady that she is unsure how she feels and has kept her distance.

*Jancis protected from a slaver, the 'papper'. While her and many others posed as slaves to find the whereabouts of [[Chuchukepa Hohokepa]]'s mother, one was harrassing Reinette to the point that Jancis stepped in and 'fought' off the woman for the man's attentions. After being successful and fight broke out and Jancis conjured a large boulder upon the man which ended up causing fatal damage. Surprised at the outcome of not disabling the man, Jancis still feels remorse for the encounter, but heartened that Reinette was not forced into the situation more.
*Prayer leader for pilgrimages to [[Lore:The Twelve|the Twelves' stones]] including Nald'thal and Nophica.
*Assisted with dealing with [[Memeli Meli]]'s aether condition, which had bad timing with the First Mate's death and instilled fear that the curse passed on to the lalafell. Sitting in a simple ceremony of purified soil and crystals, Jancis was able to channel aether to clear out Memeli's flow from all the toxic randomness she sucked in before.</spoiler>
♦ '''[[Roen Deneith]]''' - A quiet awkward lady, Jancis tries to see all of the good and pain that she's been told about in the woman. She treats her kindly and is curious about her. "Lady Deneith"<spoiler>

Though useless to help it seems, Jancis offers to what supplies she had left and a simple way to contact for help.
</spoiler>
♦ '''[[Sigurd Rainecourt]]''' - Thaumaturge of the Coral Sea, Jancis views the man with regard for his intelligence and natural ability to reason with just about anyone. She holds more empathy and compassion for the man after being used as a scapegoat for Lady Dhemgeim's death on top of the mysterious tragic past the man has only mentioned before. Jancis listens to him for his eloquence and ability to haggle/barter any deal as well as his abilities to coerce others. "Master Sigurd" "Sigurd"<spoiler>

*Got to assist searching for the mysterious Maelstrom officer Derrick Drake which led the two, along with Tausen and Monty, on a whilwind chase that ran into a crazy highlander with a trust in manly muscles. Surprisingly, Sigurd was no slouch and was forced to flex to earn enough reputation to continue the search.
*During the terrible ordeal of trying to find a cure for Lady Dhemgeim's condition, a spell is used in quick timing which fails, taking the woman's life. Blamed for the death, Sigurd is put on trial for disobeying a direct order. Viewing everyone's pain and anger being directed at the mage as a means to making him a scapegoat for the numerous complications, Jancis defends the man bringing up the moral obligation he had to at least attempt to save the dying First Mate.
*Asked for his help,with Gwenoline's mark on Jancis. Taking time in the deepest halls of the Ossuary, the man remarkably finds an ancient book talking of a Gwendolyn and her succubus-style abilities. Protecting the Coralhaus with wards, he helped gain information on the voidsent, contact another who knew of her, and took on the disagreement in the company. Jancis tributes much of her salvation and recovery from the voidsent to Sigurd.
</spoiler>
♦ '''[[Staelufre Lysmerl]]''' - The wild lady and namesake of the Coral Sea's home. Over time Jancis has grown grateful and closer to the Staelufre after the ordeals her lover and the advice they have given one another.

That you are the scent of summer blooms and the gilded lights that dance across violet petals. That this is you, and it is how I remember you. Visions of woodlands and small, beautiful things. Strong, growing things."''
*Jancis met the huntress through L'aenoh as the woman was skittish about being under a roof.
*In following on L'aenoh's kidnapping, Staelufre returns and follows another route in hopes to assist. Afterwards she does much to help the man recover, falling in love with one another.

♦ '''[[Syl Souther]]''' - Something of a black sheep, but still a skilled healer. Jancis finds the tough and harsh-tongued woman delightful. Since nearly leaving the Coral Sea, she tries to do extra work and nice things for the lady, even after their close experience. "Lady Sylian" <spoiler>

*After being tricked by Memeli, Syl drinks the entire elixir of a love potion. Being overdosed, Jancis feels trapped to not try and purge the woman's system for how Lady Meli reacted to the same treatment and lets the potion run its course. Syl ends up giving Jancis a kiss before the conjurer can stop her and is forced to use her magicks to let Syl sleep off the rest.
:*At Berrod and Caleb's bonding, the two finally get a chance to talk about what happened and apologize to one another.[[http://i.imgur.com/cgq5NZD.jpg At Wedding with Jeris]]
*Received a letter from the woman signed Sylian. Jancis now refers to the woman by that beautiful term.
</spoiler>
♠ '''[[Tasa Rhyzul]]''' - The hardened warrior with a subtle softer side, Jancis met Tasa while preparing with the company to save their leader. Despite Tasa's brash demeanor, she is a wise woman with a lot of heart and patience for the less experienced and has earned quite a bit of Jancis' respect. She is technically the warrior's indentured servant as she pays back a debt and is bidden to comply with any requests Tasa makes, though the lady does not enforce it. Believed dead.<spoiler>
[[File:Tasapic.png|200px|right]]
'''Past Events'''

*Looking to relieve Alveo of all the debt he has accrued, Tasa agrees to repay the majority of it from her vast amount of wealth. Jancis feels a need to repay Lady Tasa for her generosity and kindness. Convinced the warrior isn't actually pushing for reimbursement, she looks for other ways to be loyal and giving.
:*After Lady Tasa effectively "proposed" to Jancis, the conjurer feels that she's not obligated to help the warrior out of a gil contract and more to be kind in general. Also, Jancis encouraged her to talk to Cici about their relationship. Tasa took her up on the advice, effectively moving from romantic attraction to more platonic.
</spoiler>
♥ '''[[Tausenadel Geispyrsyn]]''' - Sailor in Coral Sea with a jovial soul and a knack for cooking, Jancis revers the man for his manly expression of compassion and his ways of dealing with bad situations under pressure. One of the leaders Jancis will take seriously. Considering all that has happened, Jancis tries to do whatever will make him comfortable, but is fairly sure his heart and spirit went to sea with his dead wife. "Tausen"<spoiler>
[[File:Tau-Wiki-Ava.jpg|200px|right]]
'''Notes'''
*Great storyteller and writes his own romance books. Time-to-time Jancis will borrow them because Tausen writes them and they have a huge amount of absurdity to them which appeals to the conjurer.
*Loves animals and has a whole zoo of them living in his room. Has a particular fondness for cactuar.
*Father was a servant in Ishgard, but was swept away to a life at sea at a very young age.

*Received a pet coblyn, which is something of a managable runt, for telling a story during his campfire time together.
*Living together in the Coral house, Jancis has been fed and even cared for after a slavery ruse gone wrong, staying on Tausen's cot for the night after killing a man for attempting to touch Lady Reinette.
*Worked with Tausen along with fellow company members Naga and Guil. The most reliable of the party, they find out that Hnaba has been misleading them the entire time and in a grueling fight barely make it out with L'aenoh still alive.
:*Later on when Hnaba is brought by force to the Coral house, despite Jancis' protests, the conjurer is injured trying to give the wicked woman peace. Tausen follows Jancis to her room and tries to console her while also rebute the old miqo'te's nonsense rambling with the problem of bringing trouble to the company's own walls.
*With cunning knowledge, Tausen is one of the few to figure out Memeli's clues to recovering all the food in the Coral pantry from her hijinks. With the reward of a kiss, Dhemgeim, Tausenadel, and Jancis all succumb to Memeli's 'pink tempering'. He's one of the first to recover from the lalafel's whims.
*Attended the wedding of Dhemgeim and Tausenadel, which filled the entire Sanctum of the Twelve and celebrations lasted long into the night.
*Mocked in a story written by Chaska, Jancis looks to get an apology for Tausenaden for being a victim in the obvious attack on herself. Finding out that Jancis has made a terrible mistake and Chaska has no idea about the story itself. She still does not know who tried to humiliate Tausen.
*Attended a Turnsday celebration that Tausen was at, helping the man leave when a drunk lady was starting to hang off the man.[[http://i.imgur.com/BEq3OhL.jpg Scene]]
*After Lady Dhemgeim's death, she tried to help the man recover by failed and has doubts the man will return from his sojourn to the north truly, only visiting now and then instead. [[http://i.imgur.com/uhUmnCa.jpg Scene]]

♦ '''[[Tiergan Vashir]]''' - A swordsman, caring, yet tormented man. Every interaction Jancis has had with this man has only improved her opinion of him. He is one of the few that will call for her help and sees more sides to her than most even in their brief interactions. She thinks very highly of what the man has overcome, though not well known, and hopes to show the same gratitude in return. "Sir Vashir"<spoiler>
[[File:DA_tier.jpg|200px|right]]
'''Notes'''
*Close to J'azhar
*Back and most of his body is overlapped with scars, particular weapon ones.
'''Current Goals'''
*''Dance of the Red Lotus'': Jancis receives a curious red stone at a Valentoine present from an curious group. Little did she know it was for a vile purpose with Sir Vashir's life hanging in the balance.
:*A small crimson gemstone, flat and about the size of Jancis' palm, arrives in the mail. The symbol of a Crane is somehow carved within it. Attached is a letter written on fresh parchment in clear neat script: ''Dearest friend, In the spirit of the newest holiday, we are distributing blessings of prosperity to all. Please accept this gemstone and think of it as a token of good fortune. -- Sisters of the Red Lotus --''
::*The aether within the gem is very subtle. It almost seems to trace along her own with feather-light touches, but doesn't take or steal energy. It is not entirely innocuous however. Ethereal strands of aether from countless outside sources in all directions funnel towards the red gem. They all trace along your own, almost like an exploratory caress, before moving like a river to some distant location. The gem is using Jancis as a focus. And while it does not absorb her aether - it is certainly using some aspect of it for some unknown purpose.
:*Telling Lady Leanne about the curious stone she received, Leanne is surprised and ends up having one of her own, the Harp. She warns Jancis about the subtle convincing voices that come from the stone and how she cannot bear to leave it.
:*Following up on this with Tiergan later on, she finds out more from Staelufre on the docks of the Mist, and agrees to help close the lotus that is slowly draining the man's aether away.
:*Sharing with Living Ember because of a cake wish the lady made, the two agree to practice testing Jancis' ability to follow the aether trails to find more of the people involved with the lotus to close the petals.
*:Known Stones: Leanne - Harp, Chachanji - Rabbit, Ember - Firefly, Staelufre - Owl
'''Past Events'''
*Quote: ''"You're never a tool. Just a beautiful friend both inside and out. Never forget that. I spent all of my life being shaped into a weapon and a tool for another's use. I know one when I see one. And that is not who or what you are."''
*Met as part of the Coral Sea, the knight joining and calling for assistance over the linkshell for his companions, including Teld're.
*Worked with on hunting the tempered for the Siren, following his lead and helping to encourage Chuchukepa against the tempered kraken they ran into.

♥ '''[[Val Nunh]]''' - A uncooth fighter, Jancis met Val while she was being evaluated to study under the Harbingers. Catching her attention with the nickname "Milly", Jancis has built up a respect for the miqo'te for his realistic and kind-hearted views as well as his honestly in all matters. She tries to keep in touch with the man and support his feelings of usefulness and wanted. Sends him random items with cards, particular naming the item. "Val".<spoiler>

*Visiting one another in the Mist to return something of Aya's, the two have time to catch up with one another where Jancis awkwardly asks for advice concerning tails and fighting.
*Date Auction before Starlight. Seeing Val up on stage to be pawned off to anyone, Jancis takes on debt to win. She brushes off his offer to pay her back.
:*Overwhelmed by another man who paid an exorbitant amount of gil for Val at a Ladies' Day auction, Jancis fails to continue the tradition.

Continuing their correspondence, the two piece together their memories and trade shows of gratitude to one another.
:*After meeting, Jancis offers to assist Z'enath in a job he took on from a group of ruffian bandits that were laying waste to small hovels.

Jancis waits the days he claims to be gone realizing a deep worry and concern for the man. Missing him fervently, she continues to check in with the Flames if he has contacted them. Considering the ordeal she had with her lost love, she is coming to realize how intense her concern and care for the knight is.

:*During the Nophica pilgrimage, Z'enath is delayed as he finds some people associated from the assassin group he's hunting. Sporting a black eye, he makes it there and hides it under his hair, the two suspects getting away.
:*Learning more about these assassins Z'enath was mixed up with, Jancis turns at the Seeker Keeper eclipse celebration to find him missing. Not seeing him since, she believes he has either been taken or killed.

:*Randomly running into Cici speaking with Sir Evans, the gladiator asks Jancis to help him pick out some clothing for the upcoming Starlight Ball. After many bells and watching the man put on a random assortment of clothes the two manage to find something deemed appropriate for the gala. The entire time, Jancis finds the man a big awe-inspiring for having a freedom from such cultural boundaries but accepting of them at the same time, listening to his stories of his large family and their Feastday practices, and the reason for all this work is to give an unknown woman at the time the night of her life before he leaves.

::*After listening, Zachary explains he has had dreams of the missing warriors from the Calamity and believes he can find them in the void.

[[http://i.imgur.com/CLjOFpD.jpg Scene]]

Shocked that he has returned, wounded with a broken arm, she insists he go visit with his friends as she uses her dress to bandage up his wounds, in turquoise. The man ends up leaving with a promise to return for everyone including her.
*At Red Wing's fundraising, Jancis takes on extra work for the gil to donate to their coffers. With Jana's help, she wins the bid on Zachary despite all of the taunters. He insists on taking her out and talking.

[[File:QIvPuyu.jpg|225px|right]]
Jancis Milburga was born as Lleuedwyn Fishcot, daughter of a middle-class merchant family. The Fishcots were known for their ability to export fish and were a successful travelling merchants. Misfortune came upon them on a trade route in the northern part of the Twelveswood; their caravan was overrun by scouting soldiers looking for monks from Ala Mhigo.

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

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

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

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

*'''Belongings'''
:* ''Spade'': A small blackened iron garden spade. The item itself has a curious handle that's not a design for digging tool. The spade was originally a dagger which was held by Jancis' captain in case her and Ja'ren's possession by the powerful voidsent, Gwendoline, became permament and the company failed to save them. Throwing the dagger to the sand, Jancis retrieved it and brought it to a close friend, Sir Gegenji, who melted down the metal and reforged it into something more fitting. The original hilt was reused.
:* ''Herb Satchel'': A small cloth bag, no bigger than Jancis' palm. It is tied with a bow faded in color and filled with sweet smelling roots. Embroidered with an initial "M" on the front, the satchel is plain otherwise. Given to her by Lady Edda; a goodluck charm the lady made when she was young.
:* ''Red Scarf'': A regular-sized square scarf of shimmering red silk which no other decoration to it. The silk it is made of, however, has fire aether within it from a very delicate process of some of the adapted creatures among the crystals around the land and picking up the elemental aspect. The scarf itself always gives off a subtle warmth.
:* ''Red Lotus Stone'': Kept wrapped in handkerchief, a small crimson gemstone, flat and palm-sized with the symbol of a Crane is somehow carved within it. The gem has subtle aether trace that connects this stone to its many others and a device called "The Lotus".
:* ''Lapis Ring'': A simple silver ring with a small lapis lazuli set. The blue stone in this ring once belonged to the mask Jancis would wear while travelling. Promising her first love to not wear the mask anymore by giving it to him, the mask was shattered and all that remained was the stone. Later on, it was set to be her engagement ring. The item is kept on a chain now instead.
:* ''Painting'': A hand-painted map of Eorzea done in more artistic brush strokes than one for locating and serious use. In particular on this painting are key points highlighted: the city states and everywhere of note that pertained to what Z'enath and Jancis knew of together at the time.
:* ''Seashell Charm Bracelet'': A small scalloped-shaped silver charm had the engraving "L.F." upon it. The bracelet itself was also silver and meant for a toddler's wrist. The item was given to Jancis' first love and lost somewhere, possibly in the snowy mountains of Coerthas.

:*♪The way that you love dear, the fate of the world you leave behind ♪ A way to the future, making a moment built to last ♪ You want to love, well now's your chance ♪ "To me, Jancis is someone full of opposites. She is strong, and gentle. She is withdrawn, but extroverted. There is so much honesty within her, but she's mysterious in her quiet nature. The clearest thing I've ever seen about Jancis is how she loves. She loves everyone, good and bad, because they are people and to her that is the most important of all the things. Jancis is someone who wears her heart on her sleeve, and is strong enough not to let it get broken by the world. The slow but up-beat tune of this song suits her to me. I love the way it goes up and down, because I feel Jancis must have had a lot of hardships in her life. But overall, this song is full of hope."

A fistfighting prodigy from a tiny atoll community far across the Jade Sea, Virara is a vibrant, tenacious Plainsfolk who is as awkward as she is strong. Isolated by her unusual body and her harsh upbringing, she is struggling to adapt to life in Eorzea. Though she harbors a violent spirit and a surly disposition, within her eye hides a burning desire to become a righteous and virtuous woman.

: At 3'4" and growing, Vira is unusually tall and lean for a Lalafell. She is more toned as well, though their characteristic physique makes it difficult to discern. Raven hair, dyed haphazardly to resemble Doman black, done up in pigtails frames a round, immaculate face disinclined to expression. She wears an eye patch more often than not, to honor her Master, who did possess such an injury. Virara's vision itself is fine, despite a cosmetic injury to her left eye that rendered it slightly dilated at all times, making it appear to be darker than her right.
: Her gaze is intimidating on a primal level that disconnects with her short stature, complimented by her generally dour, emotionless countenance and tendency to stare. Though she might be small and cute, her withering gaze and threatening atmosphere can give her the impression of a rabid animal, or a haunted doll. Her voice is quiet, breathy, smooth and almost pleasant to listen to; yet with her yells comes a terrifying force.
: She's also somewhat scarred across her body from extreme training, though she rarely shows these.
: Though it is hard for non-Lalafell to see her in any light other than the generic, cherubic cuteness common to her species, Vira possesses something akin to statuesque dark beauty. Her height and enigmatic looks lends her a mysterious air uncommon to either Ul'dahn or Lominsan/Merlthor Lalafell.

: Vira is ill at home in either the culture of Eorzean, Plainsfolk, the culture of Doma, the environment in which she was raised, or amongst any other race. She is a loner (though not always by choice.) with painfully deficient social skills, ignorant of mores and unable to read the mood. An aura of dangerousness radiates from her steely glare and wired posture that always seems a step away from pouncing. Vira may seem placid at times, but even then a dynamic, fervent energy circulates beneath the surface.
: Her life has been dedicated to the cause of becoming stronger and she knows no other way. Having communicated through her fists practically since she was old enough to walk, a lifetime of hardship has left Vira profoundly alone, and her Master is the only human connection she's truly been able to enjoy, a fact that leads her to blind worship. Yet at the same time, the adversarial nature of her training leads her to regard her master ultimately as an enemy. The complexity of emotions she feels towards her Master leads Virara to put little stock in defining her emotions, and she scorns introspection to her own detriment. To Virara as she grew up, feelings were a force within her to be channeled into her blows; precisely what she felt was never a question to her, but rather how hard she felt it.

: Vira only truly feels alive when fighting. Her Master raised her to exercise self-control, but the pugnacious Lala is actually quite hot-blooded underneath it all. The more dangerous and potentially fatal the situation, the more at home she feels. Though she was 'civilized' by her martinet Sensei, a sort of feral undercurrent drives her most instinctual actions.
: She plays at being a cynic, something she picked up from her Sensei, but ultimately has a moral compass and inwardly admires those who fight for an ideal, rather than self-gratification. She's capable of things like kindness and compassion, but in her early life these were in such low demand that they confuse and bother her inwardly.

: Virara is very brave, almost suicidally fearless, but loses her nerve when it comes to supernatural things (Because she is too much of a materialist and fears things she can't punch like ghosts.) and typhoon/hurricane weather. (Childhood trauma.) Her overly literal and realist way of thinking also makes her more or less a complete dunce when it comes to the magic arts.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#6F5A8B;">Biography</div>===

=====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Childhood</div>=====

:: The girl who would become Virara was born to a couple from the islands in Merlthor. Orphaned at sea by a typhoon, she was cast away in a worm-eaten barrel to the shores of a coral atoll halfway between Othard and Eorzea. Hunger and thirst drove her half mad. She forgot her name, her family's faces, even her old language. Now nearly feral, the tiny girl fought fiercely to survive at no older than five or six. Only through an uncanny strength and copious luck did the castaway live for more than a year. Tiny and alone, everything and later, everyone, was a potential threat.

:: During this time, Garlemald solidified its powerful claim on its holdings in Othard. Many refugees fleeing oppression retreated from their continent, particularly from Doma. What started as an unremarkable atoll visited only by the occasional smuggler gradually grew into a shanty town full of the runoff from Garlemald, and from there expanded into a series of small fishing, trade and supply communities tailored to the cultural needs primarily of those from Othard and Doma. Cities were sometimes more water than earth and stone canals rose up seemingly out of nowhere. Incredible masses of Doman refugees poured in, particularly at the start of the disastrous rebellion years later.

:: The young Lalafell had become a stranger to civilization. Tentatively entering the territory of the intruders, she secreted herself into the remote alleys and canal ways of the settlement, soon to become a tiny, unremarkable dot named Llymlaen's Necklace on Eorzean maps. The girl stole and mugged her way into a higher calorie diet, and grew stronger. Soon she could easily beat and rob any refugee children and relieve them of what little food kept them from starvation. She had no conscience any more than a wild animal, and lacked the ability to recognize the harm she did to others, and as a result grew stronger and bolder, eventually even attacking weakened adults. On her small island, she became hated and was driven out of town whenever they caught sight of her. But neither could they capture the girl.

:: After a few close calls, she became semi-civilized, learning their language through observing from the shadows. She knew she needed some basic ability to communicate as the intruders became more numerous and their towns grew larger. She smuggled herself from island to island by offering food she stole, never staying in one place more than a night. Eventually, the locals on almost every island grew wary of her once more as she finally neared her maximum height at somewhere around ten or twelve years old; she'd lost count long ago.

=====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Captivity</div>=====

:: One day, the pickings had been slim. The children hid from her bullying, and unable to mug or steal anything from the Domans' store rooms and fish pots, she became acutely aware of her hunger and desperation set in. She set eyes on a tanned, grim woman missing an eye, sitting in a rude street front tea shop. Her build was strong, her posture confident, and she stunk of blood. The way she carried herself, and the grisly tattoos on her arm would have normally been warning enough to tell her to keep a wide berth from the stranger, but she was too famished to notice. She gambled. With an eye missing, she was doubtlessly blind on that side and pickpocketing should have been easy.

:: After slipping her hand into the woman's robe around her waist, where all the Domans kept their coin purses, the urchin abruptly found herself on the ground, beaten raw, her arm numb and unmoving. The woman bore down upon her. "Steal from me, would you? I've never met a child so eager to die. I shan't oblige you." Carried off to no objections by the locals, the girl found herself bound and collared in a drafty house redolent of sandalwood and incense on the biggest island in the Necklace.

:: The woman who held her prisoner her stated simply that since the girl conducted herself like an animal she would be treated like one, and thus was given the epithet "Wakuwa," which in the stranger's peculiar dialect from an island near Doma, meant simply "pig," in reference to her build and size.

:: In the hellish half-year she spent in captivity, she initially took every attempt possible to escape, but in all cases found herself thwarted and beaten horribly. Eventually her rage over boiled. She had thrashed a few refugees hard in her years, sometimes until they stopped moving, but it was the first time she wanted to do so purely out of malice. The woman seemed aware of this, and one night opened the store room door to the small, stuffy chamber "pig" was tied up in.

:: "You hate me, don't you?"

:: Though she was smaller than her, the girl's violent nature, contrasting with her inhumanly focused glare, provoked a flinch in the older woman. With every reckless blow the captive girl threw, futile as it was, her eyes took on a quality the Doman lady had seen before in shark infested waters off the coast of the Necklace. The essence of void, entered before the fatal bite, was the state of innocent brutality known only to a beast. When Virara's eyes grew wide with rage, their dark pupils seemed to eclipse everything sentient inside her. Perhaps it was this inner nature that the coldly smiling woman resonated with.

:: "Enough to kill me, huh?"

:: A few wild, reckless swings and desperate clawing at the room's dirty floor were answer enough.

:: The woman hunkered down, nursing a long, smoking pipe, as she was wont to do.

:: "You're not the first. Many men and women came before you, and all have failed. I was stronger, better than them. And you, a bloody pig, have the gall to think you've got what it takes to retire me?"

:: Clearly interested, the woman undid her collar... and immediately pinned the flailing child to the floor, foreseeing her obvious assault before it came.

:: "Only a Spoken can kill me. Spoken have names. A pig has no use for one. I'll grant you a name fit for a Lalafell."

:: Combining some haphazard syllables in a manner roughly resembling her race's typical rhyming name scheme, Virara was born anew as a person. The name was meaningless and odd to the ears of her kind, but her keeper didn't care. The woman, who demanded Virara merely refer to her as Sensei, underwent a dramatic metamorphosis in how she regarded the girl. What once was arbitrary, vicious behavior for no other purpose other than reprisal or amusement, focused itself into an intense reformation of her character. She took on the Doman language and lifestyle, as taught to her by Sensei in between puffs on her long pipe. Virara was no more than a servant, but she ate better than she had in years, often times several magnitudes more than Sensei herself. Though Sensei knew she was hated by literally everyone in every settlement in the Necklace, she sent her out regardless on errands, and Virara often had to find and pay merchants and traders for foodstuffs and goods as secretly as possible.

:: With time Virara grew hale and strong, and when obedient, Sensei didn't harm her, though she was casually dismissive and rarely spoke to her conversationally. While Spoken now, Sensei still did not regard Virara as anything approaching an equal. She demanded more from Virara, and Virara obliged, giving up her life of theft and violence for one of constant study and dutiful toil. Her personality radically changed, molded as if she were an infant again in the hands of her watchful master. There were times when Virara forgot that she had meant to kill this woman altogether, and her seething hatred slowly evaporated into a mist of forgotten grievances.

=====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">The Labyrinth Fist</div>=====

:: Virara began to exhibit an unnatural constitution. She was constantly hungry and required more food than Sensei initially intended to give her, eventually forcing the woman to train Virara to fish for herself. Vira helped Sensei plant a small orchard in the uncleared land behind her home, and they dried apricots to save them for the spring.

:: In addition to this strange metabolism, Virara seemed to have no real grasp of her own strength, which was already disproportionate to her size. When chopping wood, Vira would often hew the logs straight through, and leave deep rend marks in the stone beneath. Her arms would be red and sore afterward, and sometimes even needed medical attention. Sensei believed that something in Vira's mind was shattered from since she was castaway, transcending exhaustion and pain, but her servant didn't fully understand anyway.

:: Vira's unnatural constitution piqued Sensei's interest once again. "You've become Spoken now, Virara. Far from the pig you once were. An animal does not kill out of hatred, nor for some flimsy concoction of 'reasoning.' You recognize a distinction between right and wrong, a quality most Spoken either possess or claim to. Which applies to you, I don't have a care for. A thinking being has the ability to weigh the life of another in her hands. Do you wish to become fully Spoken, with all that truly entails?"

:: From that day forward, something in the woman's eyes changed. Virara could tell, merely by looking at her, that Sensei had recognized her. No longer a servant or an animal, she was a true student.

:: "Watch yourself, brat," Master warned her, "For the very instant I deem you a failure is the instant I stop your heart."

:: Sensei was the inheritor of a style of combat from Doma, compiled from many nations' martial arts long before their nation was formed, long before Garlemald and the occupation. This style was Shichisei Meikyuuken, or the Seven Star Maze Fist. She had left for reasons she wouldn't divulge during the early years of the Rebellion. In her own words, it was a method of fighting, unarmed or armed, that would render its masters either a god or demon. This sounded like an excellent tool to kill her master with, so she agreed outright. Such was the reasoning she provided herself consciously, but Virara felt an unfamiliar, rising sensation in her chest when her Sensei gazed at her more softly than before. Her face often began making a faint expression alien to her, the corners of her lips curving upward. The feeling was good, though she scarcely understood what it meant.

:: The training was harsh, almost as much so as the mistreatment she endured during her early stay with Sensei. Five years were spent in enhanced study; both her civilizing and fighting training became feverishly intense. Master's method of instruction was merciless to the point of insanity, and countless times her new student courted instant death simply by sparring with her. Virara learnt of foreign languages other than Doman and how to cook for herself at the same time she was shattering iron spheres with her palms and cutting down orchard trees with her forearms. Eventually Virara was honed into a fist fighter of prodigious skill. A natural, her abnormal muscle power and hyperactive metabolism meshed keenly with the explosive, lethal blows of the style. Meikyuuken was a direct style, in comparison to its convoluted name, but perhaps its simplicity belied a more subtle insidiousness. Even the most innocent of testing blows could easily transition to a fatal hit. Its guards were deflections and strikes at the same time. A seemingly linear step in fact involved countless subtle curving movements and changes in speed. Economy of movement, a strong defense, and mythril-like core body conditioning were its areas of focus, on top of penetrating defenses and ending the fight in a single blow. With time, Virara could slay next week's dinner (The rare, expensive aldgoat not common on the Necklace) with a single blow to the forehead, the thickest part of its skull. Prodigy was a term oft used and rarely deserved, but in some sense it did apply to her.

:: In time Sensei also conversed more with her student. She told of Doma's history and its culture, the war with Garlemald. She mentioned in passing that she once had a family, and that she was the only student of the style left. Sensei expressed a disgruntled hatred of both Garlemald *and* Doma, and stated in vague terms that her nation "betrayed" her, but in what way she never said, and she only spoke of the matter when thoroughly drunk. Sometimes Virara could her her master praying alone outside in the grove at night. The list of names she prayed for was long. It soon became her lullaby.

:: The Calamity came and went for Virara. Unlike most, it was not a happening of significance in her life. As with everything, the inhabitants of the Necklace merely adapted. Their remote location helped protect them, slightly, from the wrath of the cataclysm. Though some died in the horrible storms and massive waves, both Virara and her master escaped unscathed, though they lost their home and had to live amongst the locals in their new floating raft and boat community. Much of the landmass was submerged, but the Necklace was part of the sea and its inhabitants were hardy people. Virara became accustomed to the steady rock of ships and boats beneath her feet, soon beginning to find dry land unnatural.

:: The two increased in strength together as summers and winters passed like migratory birds. Eventually, Sensei's past in Doma caught up to her. Often she would leave to walk along the piers and canal ways late at night to deal with 'urgent business.' On rare occasions she would leave the islands entirely for days on end. She often came back disheveled and scratched up. Sensei's excuse was that she fell down, drunk, which Virara typically believed because she was very much addicted to rice wine, but eventually the excuses stopped flowing and the injuries became more severe. It appeared not all of the past she'd left behind in occupied Doma wanted to be forgotten.

:: One night, a man dressed in black and wearing curious weapons greeted Virara as she rose groggily from her sleep to relieve herself. A desperate struggle ensued, in which Virara's life nearly ended, if not for Sensei's intervention. The killer was obscenely skilled, and quickly had even her Master on the defensive, but he hadn't counted on Virara breaking his knee in twain from behind. When the assassin reeled in pain, Virara simply did as she'd done with the aldgoats before. It ended quickly. A muddy, dark film seemed to cross the iris of her eyes as she locked gazes with her Sensei. Something lay there in her Master's single eye, something nostalgic and painful, a sense of agonizing recognition. That brought Vira back to reality, but before the significance of what she'd done set in:

:: "Virara, your training, as it has been until now, is over. You're not ready to face me and kill me yet, not until you've inherited the art from me fully."

:: Days later, Sensei prepared a satchel full of supplies, some rugged traveling clothes, and a pair of bone hora, meant solely to protect Vira from her own freakish strength, and told her to go to Eorzea, as a test of worthiness to begin learning the succession techniques of Shichisei Meikyuuken. Told to seek out a man that Sensei supposedly crossed paths with in an arena years ago, Virara set out on a trade vessel bound for Ul'Dah's bay of Dha'Yuz, hunting for the man known as "Holyfist" to challenge him. But Virara did not leave without a final, taxing "gift" from her exacting Sensei...

=====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">The Power to Slay</div>=====

:: Arriving in Eorzea, Virara was immediately beset by a suffusion of sounds and sights utterly alien to her. Ul'dah was dry and teeming with people, the marketplaces overflowing with goods Virara could scarcely imagine in her time on the Necklace. Immediately she began setting out to find the Holyfist and crush him, in accordance to her Master's wishes, but her lack of physical strength after the woman's crippling acupressure technique left Virara feeling a sense of vulnerability and frailty hitherto unknown to her. Hamon did not take the Lalafell girl seriously and instead set her about the Pugilist's Guild attending to menial tasks and doing strength training. Virara assumed that Hamon was pitying her, or felt she was unworthy of a match, humiliating the girl. Hamon for his part may have felt she was pushing herself too hard, or just wanted free labor.
:: In any case, Virara would eventually get her wish to face Hamon in a match, but as a method of rehabilitating the aged warrior after events Virara was not privy to reignited his fighting spirit. This fulfilled Virara's obligation to her master. In her short time as a member, Virara spoke little with other pugilists and absorbed tremendous knowledge of the typical Ul'dahn hand to hand combat styles with typical ease, but the culture of the locals remained bewildering to her.

:: One day, in the Quicksand, Virara met a tiny boy. Having never spoken to or known another of her kind before, Virara engaged him as awkwardly as could be conceived. This was Chachanji Gegenji, a swordsman training to become a hero. Idealistic and naive in the extreme, Virara initially found "Chagenji" curious. His name was hard to say, his stature was small despite his fairly athletic frame, and he had the awkward air of a cowardly runt, the kind Virara used to pummel on the islands. But when she looked at his earnest, well-meaning gaze, something hot and fearsome boiled within her. This was a boy who endured hardship that did not even compare to her own; he knew suffering but felt it was something others could be saved from indefinitely. It was unacceptable to Virara that he could maintain such a gilded impression of the world around him, ignorant of her own limited experiences and worldview.
:: Though initially appreciative of Chachanji's attempts to befriend her and help her adjust to Eorzean culture, his peaceful attitude and heroic tendencies perplexed the comparatively merciless and hard-hearted Virara. Her relationship with him grew more and more tense, and with time Chachanji's presence in her mind became overwhelming. Every waking thought was of how he vowed never to take a life needlessly, and his boundless confidence in his ability to protect others close to him. Virara only understood the strength necessary to kill.

=====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">The Power to Save</div>=====

:: This eventually culminated in a furious duel in Thanalan, in which Virara prematurely exerted her strength, despite still being crippled, against a reluctant but determined Chachanji. Meikyuuken roared loudly that day, with her forms in weakened but prominent use. Such a display could hardly go unnoticed. Though she shattered his armor and nearly killed him outright, Chachanji cemented himself as a true warrior by being the first person to stand up after one of Virara's blows, outside of her own Master. For the first time, Virara understood that the intensity of emotion she felt towards Chachanji was respect, not hate. This was the 'power to protect,' to save others, that Virara had failed to grasp. To prioritize the survival of another being was inconceivable to a girl who struggled to survive from birth. That personality, and that line of thinking, began to quickly enthrall her. A stranger to happiness, Virara felt the odd sensation again, much as she had once her Master allowed her to take up their art.

:: Her sense of closeness with Chachanji deepening, she allowed her first friend, and the first boy she'd ever known, to guide her to a more tame state, wherein she did not challenge anyone she found strong enough to be worthwhile to a duel, and could interact with Eorzeans more normally. She met others such as Warren and Sei Castille, who trained Chachanji and thus earned interest from Virara quickly. Ququki Quki, another Lalafell, amazed the ignorant Virara with her knowledge of aether. She met Dren Gonne, another boy with a similar background to her own, and a feral streak she understood all too well. With time, however, it was no longer sufficient for Virara to live out of the Quicksand as a boarder. While she made money from time to time working odd jobs out of the guild, and as an unnervingly destructive extra hand in Momodi's kitchen, Virara wished to see more of Eorzea, and to have a solid base from which to stage those endeavors.

=====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">A Place to Rest</div>=====

:: Determined not to become reliant on her new acquaintances, Virara trained herself to the limit, traveling across the land from each great city to fight dangerous fauna, traverse hazardous terrain and bolster her stamina through more frequent cooking. With time her old strength returned, though her ability to perform the techniques of her art still seemed limited. But the lifestyle of drifting from inn to inn, sometimes sleeping in alleys or under the stars as she did before she met Master, was draining, not to mention lonely. It was a fact that Virara herself would never admit, but she felt keenly the distance between Eorzea and the Necklace. Sometimes she would sit for hours, watching the surf lap the shores of La Noscea in utter silence. Other times she would train, perform long and short kata, almost hoping a watchful eye over the horizon would find her, even if her islands were far from that horizon in the other direction.

:: On an excursion to train in Mist, Virara came across Memeli Meli and Chachanji, who had recently joined the association "Coral Sea." Over time, Virara's visits to Mist became more frequent, and her friendship with the other two deepened. Memeli in particular was a strange girl, full of good humor and warmth, whose behavior differed greatly from Virara's despite the similarity in their ages, and Virara began to consider for the first time if her own upbringing wasn't abnormal in comparison to her new Eorzean friends. Virara also noticed that the way she tended to focus on an opponent with all-encompassing attention when angry seemed to happen to her around Chachanji often, even when she was calm, but remained ignorant and thought little of the strange feeling.

:: Virara eventually signed on with Coral, though the loose association and lack of direction in such a free-spirited group confused the girl. She boards with Memeli and Chachanji, as she was already practically a resident before joining due to her homelessness. For the first time, Virara had found a place she could consider home outside of that waterlogged, odorous longhouse in the Necklace. Yet the image of her Master still remained forefront in her mind. Could she maintain the power she owed her benefactor? With the softness of her new lifestyle, could she slay her Master when their fated time of confrontation finally arrived? Virara seemed convinced that would be impossible, especially after a humiliating loss (By her perception) in a friendly duel against Memeli, for which she admonished herself mercilessly inside.

:: She resumed her training with an obsessive vigor, incorporating new knowledge of Aether and Eorzean culture into her education. When Virara focused on moving her body and training her physique, she could not think deeply. When she was free of deep, irrelevant thoughts, she didn't need to feel unease. Something about her new friendships, the triumvirate she had formed with her Coral companions, was eating away at her, but with her mind empty as it was, Virara could not perceive it even with the slightest of awareness. She understood she was frustrated with something, but what it was she could not begin to describe. Confronting her feelings, she resolved to allow herself to become closer to her "first boy" and "first girl" friends, but feared the worst; that her presence in their relationship would disrupt the accord they shared.

:: She also began to train to cook in a manner befitting sane people, to make herself more useful to her new home and not frighten the others with her martial culinary practices.

=====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Bloody Roots</div>=====

:: Virara is currently being hunted by an unseen, depraved foe. This enemy has left her a grisly gift in her mail at her new home, and a blood soaked letter in Doman code. The creeping darkness of her Master's past has finally caught up to her only student. The first bloody deathmatch races with unholy fervor to its promised day.

:: At times stalking, at times watching, the enemy follows Virara with their malevolent eye. Their actions are restricted so long as she remains in the highly secure Mist. But how long will it be until they find a way to reach her even in the security of her own home? The thought consumes Virara, forcing her to ponder in ways she hardly engaged with since her youth. And with the other challenges Coral faces from a malevolent, supernatural presence, it seems unlikely she will be able to return to her intense preparation for the day she meets Master again.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#6F5A8B;">Miscellaneous</div>===
: <li>Virara possesses abnormal body strength for a Lalafell. Due to being smaller, her muscle mass is still inferior to that of a larger race, as well as her weight, but the explosive power of her blows is extremely lethal. To date she has regularly slaughtered large, strong animals with her bare hands, pulverized a stone golem in one blow, punched an ingot of cobalt through the floor of her house, and shattered a cobalt breastplate using nothing but her bare elbow. Her speed and endurance are also conditioned to levels beyond that of which a Lalafell normally can achieve. What sort of strain this physique puts on her health is unknown. It also seems that somehow, her body heats up to an unnatural degree when enraged, or when aether is funneled into her. It may have something to do with her unique, rapid metabolism, which provokes near-constant hunger.
: <li>'Wakuwa,' for 'pig,' is an epithet and only really known OOC. (I derived it from an Okinawan word.) In the unlikely case your character can use it for her, remember that it's derogatory and Vira only adopted it as her name out of respect for her Master. Other people are most definitely not allowed to use it. Given Lalafell naming conventions, her real name is Virara Vira. Shocking, I know.
: <li>Virara wears eye patches because she imitates her Master. Her pigtails were styled by Master as well, and Virara continues to dutifully tie her hair in the same way, even though not a single feminine bone exists in her body. She also dyes her hair (poorly) to emulate her Doman Midlander hair color.
: <li>Since coming to Eorzea, Virara has become sensitive about her unusual height, envious of shorter Lalafell. She is learning from Memeli how to be 'cute,' but has many misconceptions about what that entails.

: <li>Before leaving to Eorzea, Virara was crippled by her master through acupressure for reasons she doesn't understand. She has since recovered much of her prior strength, though lack of practice has resulted in some difficulty performing her style's techniques.
: <li>Her education is incomplete due to Sensei's incredible laziness. She just didn't bother to teach Virara about many things, but what she did focus on Virara learned voraciously, if in unorthodox manners. Her blind spots are tremendous, being ignorant of local culture, out of touch with emotions and abstract concepts, and for years not even knowing how babies are made. Needless to say, she has no real knowledge of romance.
: <li>Her cooking is unorthodox, to say the least. Nothing is wrong with the food, it even tastes good, but she usually uses her bare hands, with very few cooking tools other than a hot fire. Virara also likes some of her food Mega Flare-level spicy. Be careful if asking her to give your food a bit of kick, unless you like life or death struggles.
: <li>When angry or agitated, Virara tends to find the highest place she can get to to be alone in. When scared, which is rare, she finds a tiny cramped place to hide in, like a barrel or closet.
: <li>When speaking Doman, Virara gives a totally different impression, with a rough air and vastly expanded vocabulary. She speaks liberally with 'masculine' pronouns and other verbal characteristics. (This is based on the assumption that Doman follows similar rules to Japanese, as many of their other lore elements do. She is an "Ore" '俺' girl.)
: <li>The one thing Virara is superior to her Master in is tending to bonsai trees. Sensei butchers them.
: <li>Virara's singing voice is akin to the trumpets of the apocalypse.

: <center>Forgive me if your character is not listed here: I'm trying to limit myself to those who have pages.</center>
: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font> UNKNOWN : Virara's Master. A notorious manslayer from Doma, whose shadowy exploits and wanton atrocities during the country's ill-fated rebellion were innumerable. Little is known about this terrifying woman, but everything Virara says about her suggests a martial artist of such transcendental skill that only the term 'monster' could properly describe her. For years Virara's only human interaction was with Master. She owes everything that she is to her. Murky, undefined feelings flow through Virara towards Master, stronger than anything she knows, but they are not friends, and not family. Since the day they met Virara has been determined to kill her, both out of obligation and an undefined degree of legitimate hatred.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Chachanji Gegenji]] : Initially agitated by what she thought was a softhearted and weak boy, Virara's fascination with him has grown to something more. He is her first friend, the first Eorzean she knew, the first person to challenge her worldview, and the second person to withstand her strikes, after her Master. It is possible that her attachment to him is more intense than she lets on, but Virara's poor grasp of emotions ensures that what form it takes remains ambiguous.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Memeli Meli]]: This diminutive rapscallion is Virara's first female friend close to her own age. She both admires and envies many qualities Memeli possesses, such as her bright demeanor and knowledge of aether. However, having lost to Memeli in a match, Virara's passion has risen from a faint smouldering to a dancing flame. Currently, Memeli is teaching Virara to obtain the secret technique known as "cuteness." Virara solemnly swears to stand atop this new technique and become invincible to all foes!

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Leanne Delphium]]: One of Chachanji's friends. She has a distinctive look about her that piques Virara's curiosity, but she seems also very aloof and mysterious in some ways. However, Virara doesn't dislike her in the slightest. In fact, she grows more and more attached to Leanne as time goes by. She is weak against her openness and sense of simple warmth, and admires her ability to sing, which Virara is piss poor at.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Ququiki Quki]]: An acquaintance of both Virara and Chachanji, Virara is impressed with "Cookie's" fighting spirit, despite her physical weakness and debilitating condition. Quki is a wellspring of arcane knowledge, despite being significantly younger than Virara, so often the conversations between the two boil down to Quki attempting to explain something that seems simple to her, but is far too complex for an ignorant Virara to grasp. Virara, unlike probably most people, is impressed by Quki's tendency to overdo it when training and somewhat cautiously encourages the dangerous behavior.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Dren Ghonne]]: Lonely and frail-looking, Dren met Virara in the midst of a strange engagement near the chamber of rule, beating a giant adamantoise taken in for a leve to death, hungering for tortoise soup. Dren's soup immediately got on her good side, but his past in servitude, so readily volunteered, innately struck a chord with her, being not dissimilar to her own. In an attempt to both help her new goal of using her strength for others, not merely herself, and also out of empathy for Dren, she volunteered to let him stay with her in her room at the Quicksand.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Warren Castille]]: Chachanji's mentor, and thus a person who Virara innately respects. But in Virara's case, respect can sometimes also mean 'wants to drub mercilessly.' Ser Castille is a prying sort who seems to be aware that Virara came from an abnormal upbringing. She respects Warren greatly for his insight into her and wants to learn from him to better understand how he and Chachanji think, and to improve herself accordingly.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Ha'uruh Nunh]]: A friend of Warren's. Virara doesn't know him well, but was startled to know he trained under the same master as Sei. She feels some curiosity as to what caused them to become so different, and wants to know more. "Howl" was strangely protective of her when she took a contract from Surge, and Virara quickly noticed his irregular behavior.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Jancis Milburga]]: Virara has spoken to her a few times, and has recently become more personally involved through a medical meeting. Jancis seems to have a natural poise and ladylike nature that intrigues Virara, who does not possess the qualities herself. Yet at the same time, there are deeper similarities between the two that aren't immediately apparent. It seems very likely they will come to understand each other even better soon. Like Leanne, she has the atmosphere of an 'older sister,' if Virara had any grasp of what that actually was.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Jajara Jara]]: An associate of Memeli's through her organization. Virara knows a fist fighter when she sees one, and immediately wanted to challenge her, though she held back. She seems to respect her as the first older Lalafell she had met, but sadly, Vira's intensity and lack of social awareness made for an intimidating first impression, as she is wont to do. To Virara she is a wise, older lady, and she sometimes calls Jajara Aunt, much to her chagrin.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Chuchukepa Hohokepa]]: Virara met this strange man whose name is hard to say in the Coral house. Not accustomed to meeting others of her race, let alone older ones, she reacted in a similar manner to how she regarded Jajara. Naturally she was surprised to find the two not only know each other, but are very close in a way Vira scarcely understands. She sees him as fretful and meticulous, but wise about the Aether, which Virara barely understands. 'Master' Chuchukepa trains Virara in how to cook like a more sane woman.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Bizaza Biza]]: Another member of Coral Sea Virara knows from a few conversations. Like Jajara, she is an older Lalafell that Virara sees as wise. She does her best to try and respect Bizaza and treat her as an elder, but this only serves to make Bizaza sigh dejectedly at unwanted reminders of her age.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Flickering Ember]]: More than anything else, Virara knows the terror of living in a bestial state, half mad and concerned with only her own survival and safety. When she locks eyes with Ember and sees the raw instinct there, she feels a sense of nostalgia that epitomizes its original definition of "the pain of returning home." But as Ember grows in humanity, so too does Virara's trust in her. The fact that she fed Virara doesn't hurt.

: <font style="color:#8C92AC;" size="3">●</font> [[Surge Dravorgas]]: A strange Hyuran man who is abnormally interested in learning about monsters. Virara doesn't really get the importance of his research, but quickly saw him as a useful excuse to explore Eorzea and practice her skills on new, living targets. Getting paid per contract doesn't hurt either, and Surge's bizarre mannerisms perplex and amuse Virara.

'''Flickering Ember''' is a blind roegadyn hailing from Eastern Thanalan. The girl has accomplished the seemingly impossible by growing up in solitude within the arid region. She is a feral child who has been partially assimilated into society over the course of several years. When she was first discovered in the wilds of Thanalan shortly after the Calamity, she was essentially mute with the exception of a few toddler-like words. Though with often animal-like mannerisms and a lack of understanding towards society and culture, Ember keeps home in The Goblet along with her free company, Aeon.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #C94C33;font-size:14px;color:#120A07;">Physical Description</div>===
Despite her youth, Ember's height matches many of the tallest roegadyns. It is easily her most apparent feature as she towers over most people, including many roegadyns. Her next most recognizable features are her ashy dark skin, fiery red hair, distinctive facial markings, and her odd eyes. Ashy dark skin contrasts with her bright red-orange fiery hair, creating the look of a young woman who encompasses the spirit of the very volcanoes her clan hails from. Her body is marked by several scars she has obtained from her rugged lifestyle. None of these are grisly battle scars, but rather small, faint, and faded ones that are too difficult to notice without staring. Aside from her scars, she has two more noticeable markings elsewhere on her body. The more obvious one is the claw like marking that spreads from one end of her face to another. It appears to be permanently graphed into her skin. The other is runic symbol on her left upper back, just over where her heart is. It is clearly of a magical nature with its glowing chill blue and intricate design.

Aside from height, Ember lives up to another of her race's features with her muscular build. A lifestyle of hunting and surviving with no one to depend on but herself has kept her physically strong. However, she is not as well chiseled as an experienced, fully grown roegadyn warrior. Ember's weight can fluctuate as well depending on her current living situations. Much of the time her friends and family provide her with food, something on which Ember indulges on without limit. This helps her put on some much needed fat. Overall, she is a muscular, physically strong girl who could still use some toughening up to reach her full potential.

Ember's eyes are another item of note. The young woman is blind though she is without cataracts or any noticeable injury to the eyes. They are normal and healthy. Clues of her condition can be gathered from how she looks at her environments around her. She does not make eye contact wit objects or people nor do her pupils shift much. Often times this can result in her appearing to stare at something or someone endlessly.

Her voice is on the husky side but lightened by Ember's typical inquisitive, enthusiastic, and generally happy demeanor.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #C94C33;font-size:14px;color:#120A07;">Personality</div>===

Ember is a person of extremes. She is either quiet and mistrusting, hostile and aggressive, or sweet and affectionate. In new situations or around those she does not know, she can be reserved and suspicious. However, her trust can be easily won by gift-giving, aiding her when she is in need, or providing her with affection. If Ember feels threatened for whatever reason, even if the gesture is relatively mundane or harmless, she will lash out. She is very protective of things she claims as her own and this can extend past just items of value. Most importantly, Ember loves and desires attention. She longs for the approval of others and places extreme importance in impressing others that she has a strong opinion of.

She is curious of almost everything and enjoys actively interacting with people and/or items. Even the smallest things in life can bring her great joy. She can also be stubborn at times, choosing when or when she will not listen to others. However, the more she sees an individual as a superior, the more she will be willing to listen to them. Her solitude can lead her to be insensitive but the well-being of others is a top concern for her. Above all, she is affectionate and seeks happiness through others.

Apart from this, Ember acts on instinct and irrational thought to guide her in decision-making, a product of her upbringing. Often times she is more of a do-er than a thinker. Because of her upbringing, she hasn’t had the advantage of education but more importantly, she hasn’t been mentally stimulated the same way others who have grown up around people have. She did not learn to speak until very late in her life, troubling for her mental development. She is overall not as intelligent as many others for this reason, although she holds no mental conditions. More times than not, though, she is simply ignorant and can make up for her lack of knowledge with cleverness, should the situation call for it.

:<font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font>[[Jericho Lapointe]] : Ember met Jericho at a time of turmoil in his life. In their first meeting, Jericho could not control his magical powers and was unleashing a series of dangerous spells. Ember was able to diffuse him by simply taking his hand and holding it. Ever since then, the two have shared a close bond that has taken a romantic turn. Jericho needs Ember for her positivity and smiles and Ember needs hims for his grounded and supportive nature.

:<font style="color:#F0F078;" size="3">♥</font>[[Brynhilde Wulf]] : At the time Ember met Brynhilde, she was still living on her own in the desert. Brynhilde triggered a chain of events that lead to Ember gradually connecting to other people more and more. It is thanks to the older woman that Ember has been able to find love, family, and friends. She not only sees Brynhilde as her mother but she also sees her as a rolemodel. Because of this, Ember both seeks comfort from Brynhilde as well as a need to impress her. Additionally, in terms of authority, Ember views Brynhilde's word as stone.

:<font style="color:#F0F078;" size="3">♥</font>[[Faolan Woodlock]] : A young man whom she shares quite a few similarities with. Both grew up in the silence of the wilderness, caring for themselves in harsh regions--him in snowy lands and Ember in the arid regions of Thanalan. They share a wanting for others that can feel far away or awkward due to their upbringing in solitude. Because of this, Ember takes a refuge in Faolan's presence where they have an unspoken bond. Although the woodsman often has trouble with being touched, Ember often holds his hand whenever she can.

:<font style="color:#F0F078;" size="3">♥</font>[[Sophia Grave]] : In many ways, Sophia and Ember are vastly different from each other. Sophia has proven a trustworthy ally and companion to Ember. Her very presence brings her great comfort and delight. Sophia is both knowledgeable and a strong opponent--two traits that Ember holds in high regard. In short, Sophia has always been there for her which has made Sophia's recent decisions all the more painful for the young roegadyn who loves and looks up to her like a sister. Recent events have pitted Sophia against the rest of her family--something that has broken Ember's heart.

:<font style="color:#F0F078;" size="3">♥</font>[[Tiergan Vashir]] : Tiergan is like a vastly older brother to Ember. Where she views Zaius as fun, Tiergan is regarded as the more 'parent-like' one in his willingness to scold her. She only sometimes listens to him but recognizes that Tiergan has experience and wisdom that is often invaluable. Perhaps one could question the extent of wisdom a man who has spent much of his life fighting in the arenas could impart. However, it is precisely because of Tiergan's physical aptitude that leads her to such beliefs. With him as a companion to help guide her through several traumatic events, she holds him in high regard. Even if Tiergan can be a bit of a grump, having him around is always a celebration for Ember.

:<font style="color:#F0F078;" size="3">♥</font>[[Zaius Rhal'seer]] : Like Tiergan, Ember views Zaius as a vastly older brother. However, their relationship dynamic differs dramatically. Where Ember thinks Tiergan as stern, Zaius is fun-loving. Long stretches of absence and their brief meetings only serve to heighten her value of him. She has a more affectionate bond with Tiergan but Zaius is the cool older brother whom Ember admires strongly. Intrigued and amazed by his stories of power, Ember holds an immense respect for him by his sheer strength alone. His power, cleverness, dominance, and knowledge make her view him as an ideal rolemodel, alongside Brynhilde. In short, she wants to grow up to be him.

:<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">♥</font>[[Caen Jabari]] : Caen is an upbeat teenaged miqo'te, very recently turned adult. Like Leilani, she sees him as an equal of sorts. Ember likes Caen's positive presence that could dissipate any frown. Despite his positivity, Ember knows it is housed by an inner sadness. She was there when the amnesiac magically received his memories back--of which she has been unable to forget the tragic death of his mother. Ember feels for Caen's loneliness but he always excels in making ::her:: never feel alone. She appreciates how willing he is to touch her and let her touch him. Caen has often forgotten that Ember is blind, to which Ember also fails to realize he does not know due to his willingness to guide her by the hand. She often questions some of his logic, finding some of his reasonings on certain concepts to be strange.

:<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">♥</font>[[Ja'ren A'lenthin]] : Ja'ren came into Ember's life around the time she took residence up in the Goblet. Even when they had first met, they held an amicable relationship. Her opinion of him grew the more she got to know him. The Miqo'te youth has a special type of vision that Ember found fascinating. When they lived together it was common for Ja'ren to make gifts with his crafting skills as well as provide meals for the household. Their relationship grew into one that is akin to that of siblings, with both of them looking out for one another. Ember enjoys pestering him while Ja'ren tolerates it. Recent happenings have hurt her feelings towards him. Even so, he remains dear to her.

:<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">♥</font>[[Leilani Leilai]] : Leilani is a teenaged lalafell girl whom Ember thinks of as an equal, perhaps not in combat, but in her handling of the world. Leilani is chipper and enthusiastic. She is a practitioner of the arts: music, dancing, pies. ( Ember especially likes the pies.) When Ember is with Leilani, she always feels welcome.

:<font style="color:#679AE7;" size="3">♥</font>[[Bertrand Irons]]: "Irons" to Ember. Bertrand is a capable, knowledgeable, and dedicated doctor with a warm and friendly demeanor. Bertrand has cared for several of Ember's injuries, a kindness that she is not likely to forget. Without even knowing her, he took a genuine interest in helping her. On top of this, Bertrand helps to boost Ember's confidence by assuring her that her blindness is a strength, not a weakness. He has taken to reading storybooks to her.

:<font style="color:#679AE7;" size="3">♥</font>[[Brave Horizon]] : A fellow roegadyn Hellsguard who has been cut off from society up until recently. This is a history that she shared with Ember, although for differing reasons. Brave is a comforting presence for Ember and perhaps vice versa. Ember views Brave as an equal and therefore someone that she feels she can confide in.

:<font style="color:#679AE7;" size="3">♥</font>[[Chachanji Gegenji]] : For a brief period, Ember had become her old feral self for unknown reasons. Since her transitioning back to normal, Ember remembers the care he had placed in her. His presence is calming and memories of him combing her hair provide a somewhat instinctual interest in his hair. He has a kind and friendly nature that Ember feels she can confide in and look to for aid.

:<font style="color:#679AE7;" size="3">♥</font>[[Daghbheri Himalspyr]] : Or simply "Dog" to Ember. The two first befriended over him gifting a meal to her. Since then, Dogberry has become an adult friend to her. She appreciates his kind, casual, and laidback nature. She finds him to be approachable with interesting topics to discuss.

:<font style="color:#679AE7;" size="3">♥</font>[[Memeli Meli]] : First met at Memeli's own girls' only slumber party, Ember has since then found a friend in the pink lalafell. Memeli is loud, playful, and most of all FUN. It is quite easy to be entertained when she is around. Memeli is also noticeably caring towards her friends. Ember adores it whenever the young woman addresses or acknowledges her. She is convinced that Memeli has sprouted bunny ears due to how consistently they are worn.

:<font style="color:#679AE7;" size="3">♥</font>[[Staelufre Lysmerl]] : Staelufre is a person who often steals much of Ember's interest. The miqo'te woman has some kind of connection to magic that Ember has never known, she tells the most amazing, fun, and informative stories, knows the roegadyn language, and she is often getting into trouble. She is fascinated by every word Staelufre speaks. Ember also sees Staelufre as a person that respects and regards her as an equal, despite Ember viewing her as having superior knowledge of the world.

:<font style="color:#679AE7;" size="3">♥</font>[[Virara Wakuwa]] : Virara had also met Ember in her feral state, though she scarcely remembers Virara's presence from that time period. She does, however, remember her and is intrigued by her. They share similarities, both being feral children. They also share a love of food. Ember often misunderstands her customs, especially anything that relates back to Virara's Master. However, Ember greatly respects her fighter's spirit.

:<font style="color:#E6D5D5;" size="3">♥</font>[[Avenio Naemig]] : First met on a mission to recover a village's missing children, Ember didn't really start to form an opinion of him until they teamed up to rescue [[Faolan Woodlock]] from mysterious monsters. The highlander may not speak much, but he carries his character through his deeds. Avenio aided Ember during some of her most vulnerable points of their most recent mission together. Though she has witnessed a scary side of him, Avenio managed to reassure her.

:<font style="color:#E6D5D5;" size="3">♥</font>[[Jancis Milburga]] : Ember has had a few meetings with Jancis. Jancis is always polite and kind to Ember. She constantly interprets Jancis' manner of speaking as a sign of the woman holding an unspoken respect and/or affection towards Ember. She is unsure how Jancis knows her but she goes along with it instead of letting it bother her.

:<font style="color:#E6D5D5;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#BEC3BC;" size="3">●</font> [[Teld're Eska'aldren]] : Teld're is an enigma to Ember. She often forgets how she met him or how he knows her. In his mysterious nature, Ember is curious of the extent of his knowledge and power, speculating that he must have a hidden depth of strength that she has not yet witnessed. She is slightly wary of him but has taken a liking to him due him being amiable towards her on a consistent basis. His past as something of a slave and his connection to Tiergan and Staelufre provide her interest in him.

:<font style="color:#BEC3BC;" size="3">●</font>[[Gus Pumpkinweed]] : Met only once. Ember dislikes Gus Pumpkinweed for one simple reason: Her friends do. However, she also views him as skimping out on a promise to give food. (Though in reality he did take an interest in gifting Ember food)

:<font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font>[[Reginald Ozrik]] : Initially mistrustful of him after L'aenoh's accusing him of hurting Staelufre, her first impression of the man was not improved even after the misconceptions had been cleared up. Though perhaps justified in his agitation, after being punched by L'aenoh, Ember took this to represent how Reginald is. His poking fun of the way she spoke particularly struck a self-conscious nerve. Even after he apologized she was unable to forgive him and took the apology further to be an insult.

:<font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font>[[Sebastian Grave]] : Sophia's brother and a source of mistrust for Ember due to her negative first impression of him. She views the young man as aggressive, aloof, and callous. Subsequent meetings have done little to improve her opinion of him despite being mild encounters.

</div>


<div align=justify><div style="padding: 10px 15px;">You'll often find A'rho with his twin [[A'randr Tia]]. The two are rarely separated and can often be found skulking around their home in the Lavender Beds, The Gold Saucer, A'randr's Lounge or the Still Shore. They still make frequent trips to Ul'dah and Limsa for varying reasons- A'rho's being that he is either making a delivery for the Weaver's guild (from which he still receives work) , or selling their all natural herbal smokes.

A'rho also makes frequent trips to Mor Dhona to collect corrupted Aether crystals. He's been arrested once in Coerthas for possession of dangerous magical materials without a license to harvest such, though he managed to escape before sentencing.
If you are discussing something deliciously scandalous or opening a can of tasty tuna, you can bet the twins will make a beeline to eavesdrop or bug you for a sandwich.

A'rho is a remarkably curious young man. His thirst for knowledge is utterly boundless. Years and years of second-hand, outdated and inaccurate texts have left him yearning to hunt down the truths behind legends and learn more of the vast world around him. Every chance he gets to explore with his brother, he gladly takes. He also has a bit of a fixation on the macabre, though his friendly demeanor may not show it. He loves ghost stories, urban legends and has a secret love of the supernatural and darker aspects of the arcane.
A'rho has bloomed into quite a social butterfly. He's grown increasingly more confident in both social situations and his own abilities as a mage, though he remains flighty and distracted at times. When very nervous, he has a tendency to ramble. He is witty, friendly and cheeky. He loves to talk as much as he does to listen. He can also be a bit of a gossip and tends to speculate wildly on matters that are none of his business. This has gotten him into more than his share of trouble.
A'rho is generally a decent, honest person, but he is not above lying or being nasty to those who offend him. He takes slights to himself and others around him very personally and he has no trouble calling people out for being rude. His own poor manners (generally his tendency to unhinge his jaw and inhale entire plates of food or letting his gaze linger on some unsuspecting muscular bugger) escape his notice and he'll vehemently deny that he just ate half a cake even if all the crummy evidence is scattered about his face and plate.

He adores his twin brother, and though they have their share of disagreements, he is un-waveringly loyal to him and has chosen to stand by and support him. His sense of humour settles somewhere around dry and sarcastic though he certainly isn't above toilet humour and boner jokes.
Though he is absentminded and frequently forgetful, A'rho is highly intelligent and a very accomplished mage. Largely self-taught, he possesses some degree of skill in each branch of magic and he has only furthered his skills with easy access to the guilds and their archives. Recently he's grown a bit power-hungry- searching for ways to augment and amplify his magical abilities that he might outclass his peers.
A'rho's aspirations generally involve lazing about on a sunny beach surrounded by shirtless men fanning him and feeding him grapes. However if the whole idle rich thing doesn't pan out, he's considering a career in archaeology.

<tr>
<td style="vertical-align: top;"><h3>
<div style="padding:10px 35px;background: #8C6170;font-size:16px;letter-spacing:0.2em;color:#ece8bd;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px #6f373a;"><center>LIKES</center></div></h3>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Food'''. A'rho is a big eater, there is no question about it. His sweet tooth leaves much to be desired.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''A'randr Tia'''. His precious and beloved twin brother. Whatever A'randr's flaws, A'rho will defend him tooth and claw.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Reading'''. A'rho is an avid consumer of trashy gay erotica and the Hildebrand books, though he boasts quite a library of rare grimoires and literature that he “acquired” during his days of study at the Ossuary and Arcanists guild.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Stylish Clothes'''. A'rho is a slave to fashion- the more absurd and outrageous the trend, the more delighted he is to follow it.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Animals'''. A'rho's room is growing into quite the menagerie of odd beasts, all of which he dotes upon. </div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Large Men'''. A'rho makes no secret about his predilections and preferences, in large part because he has, much to his own bewilderment, frequently attracted the attentions of the opposite sex.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Magic'''. A'rho's deepest passion is weaving spells and utilizing them to greater purpose than combat and healing.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Sharing'''. Little else delights A'rho more than sharing his loves and vices with friends. Get in losers, we're going shopping.</div>
<td style="vertical-align: top;"><h3>
<div style="padding:10px 35px;background: #8C6170;font-size:16px;letter-spacing:0.2em;color:#ece8bd;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px #6f373a;"><center>DISLIKES</center></div></h3>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Irrelevence'''. A'rho dreads being useless, stemming from his days in the tribe.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Willful Ignorance'''. Nothing frustrates A'rho more in a person than a lack of curiosity.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''The Tunnel Drakes'''. What can A'rho hate more than the sleazy gang his brother belongs to? He blames them for much of A'ran's less-than-stellar character traits, and has been trying to get his brother to move in better social circles.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Stinky Cheese'''. A'rho has consumed many things, few of which have disagreed with his undiscerning tastebuds and iron-clad stomach. But gods does he hate those Elezen and Goblin made cheeses.</div>
<td style="vertical-align: top;"><h3>
<div style="padding:10px 35px;background: #8C6170;font-size:16px;letter-spacing:0.2em;color:#ece8bd;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px #6f373a;"><center>MOTIVATION</center></div></h3>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''His Brother'''. However irresponsible A'rho can be, the moment something brings harm to his brother, he instantly regrets it. He's let potential friendships fall through because his brother disapproved, and he struggles to be a good influence in A'randr's life.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Wealth'''. A'rho has grandiose dreams of manors and indoor swimming pools and harems of beefy men atop piles of glittering treasure and gil. His current lifestyle is a touch more modest, but he is generally happy not to be struggling to have two gil to rub together.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Friendship'''. In the past year of making friends, A'rho's extroverted personality has really had a chance to blossom and shine. No more is the hesitant and shy Miqo'te from his days in the tribe.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Knowledge and Power'''. A'rho is a touch thirsty for plumbing the unknown depths Thaumturgy and Arcanimy have to offer. His research into corrupted Aether and materia is almost solely to boost his own magical reserves to further his spells.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''“Romance”'''. Heavy quotes here as A'rho has utterly no experience whatsoever, and his idea of how love plays out comes from rather raunchy novels.</div>
<td style="vertical-align: top;"><h3>
<div style="padding:10px 35px;background: #8C6170;font-size:16px;letter-spacing:0.2em;color:#ece8bd;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px #6f373a;"><center>STRENGTHS</center></div></h3>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Positive'''. A'rho is a born optimist. Often this can come off as being over-confident, but he genuinely tries to bring out the best qualities in himself and others. His compliments are frequent and sincere.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Intelligent'''. A'rho, like his brother, is quite gifted intellectually. While his brother pursues alchemy, A'rho dedicates himself to the mechanics of Aether. His circumstances have left him largely self-taught and many of his lessons were, quite literally, trial by fire (or in one case, electricity).</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Loyal'''. While his friendship isn't hard to earn, his loyalty is a bit more tricky. Once earned, however, he will keep your secrets, offer any advice he finds relevant and support you even during the toughest times. A'rho is no fair-weather friend.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Resourceful'''. When things are scarce, A'rho can make do. Much of his equipment is of his own design and put together out of scrap and garbage. He is a quick thinker and an asset in a sticky situation. </div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Earnest'''. A'rho is sincere in his emotions- it is easy to tell where one stands with him as he makes no effort to mask his emotions. Friends and loved ones are shown great admiration while his distaste for enemies or other unpleasant people is readily apparent.

<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Overly Blunt'''. A'rho's earnest nature has it's price- he's lost his and his brother's enterprise several customers on account of not being able to sufficiently disguise his dislike of individuals, as the facade came off as insincere and mocking.
</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Overbearing'''. A'rho's optimism can become quite exasperating at times.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Sensitive'''. He takes slights, or perceived slights, to heart and is quick to retaliate and can be quite nasty.
</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Scatter-brained'''. He loses focus easily, bouncing from one project to another. He has a poor memory, though he compensates for this by keeping a ledger on him at all time.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Weakness'''. A'rho is, quite literally, weak. He lacks much in ways of physical strength. He is, by no means infirm, and his hyper-active nature means he is out and about, but he struggles with hard labour and opening jars.</div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 15px;">
A'rho is virtually a mirror image of his twin brother A'ran, right down to their mismatched eyes, matching tattoos and scars on the opposite cheeks. There are some differences however- A'rho's white hair is shorter, and almost curly, though its natural volume is apparent and it has the tendency to fluff up if left unchecked. His physical features are a bit softer as well. He sports a bit of a tummy and a rounder face as he is a bit more sedentary than his twin and has a tendency to eat his weight in cake.
Like his twin, his skin is tan, his hair thick and shockingly white. They share identical tattoos because they derive a great deal of enjoyment from matching.
A'rho's prominent wardrobe is light cuirasses or stylish robes in shades of green, or purple (though never both at the same time, perish the thought). With his brother's encouragement, A'rho's clothing choices can be skimpy on occasion though he generally lacks the confidence to pull off swaggering about in battle-panties like his twin, and sticks mostly to more modest (if often ostentatiously coloured) garments.

With the grand opening of the Gold Saucer came the accessibility of Chocobo Racing and A'rho was more than eager to enter Persnickity into the races. He found he was not only quite good at racing, but enjoyed it as well, and has since entered into races under the pseudonym “Pastel Power”, a mysterious jocky who dons a mask and bandana with all manner of grandiose rumours about him.

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 15px;">
Nophica's Bounty are the various blends of herbal smokes that A'randr has concocted and A'rho markets. They've had considerable success in only a few short moons of selling them, and they can be purchased at various stalls and shops throughout Eorzea.
Current blends are:
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Sweet Leaf'''. A mild blend of Chamomile and Marshmallow, for a calm and sunny sensation. Considered a nice smoke after dinner and dessert.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Regal Leaf'''. A rich blend of Chamomile and Cocoa; to bring you confidence. They say smoking this will bring you luck!
</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Lofty Leaf'''. A smoky blend of Chamomile and Moko Grass; to relax your body and mind. Incredibly popular at the Cam Bronze Lake.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Warm Leaf'''. A spicy blend of Chamomile and Licorice root; to warm you on a chilly evening.
Surprisingly popular in Coerthas.</div>

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 15px;">A'rho has an incredible aptitude for magic. What he lacks in raw power, he more than makes up for in versatility and resourcefulness.

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 15px;">
=====Early Years=====

Once upon a time A'rho was a cute chubby kit who drooled on everything and his primary motor skills involved rolling around like a fluffy marshmallow pudding. He lived with his mother and twin who was older than him by a whole five minutes. A'rho was pretty much inseparable from his brother, often following behind to explore some nearby cave or crevice with the other kits their age. A'rho lacked any of the dexterity and skill his twin had for fishing an hunting, and was widely regarded as a bit of a disappointment and nuisance by the more pragmatic tribe members.

However, at around the age of four, A'rho exhibited a natural predilection to setting things on fire. ...With his mind.

This, of course, came as a bit of a shock to their harried mother who already had her hands full with A'ran who had taken to climbing anything he could get a decent foothold (and several things he couldn't), regardless of its stability or how much breakable knickknacks it contained. A son who could wield the forces of nature as if they were mere playthings was a whole 'nother level of trouble.

Needless to say, both brothers spent a lot of time outside.

They led a happy enough existence, once A'rho learned enough to control his magic so that he wouldn't burn the village down.

=====Off to Ul'dah=====

This was all to come to a turn shortly after their twelfth nameday. The Nunh that was their father was challenged, defeated, and killed by a younger tribesman. The death left A'ran bitter and in a few moons his rage had reached boiling point. He attacked the new Nunh, and was spared only because he had not come of age. Their mother saw a disaster in the works, and shipped her sons off to Ul'dah where a friend of hers set them up with a small flat and jobs. A'ran took to mining and A'rho to weaving.

A'ran's anger did not dissipate. He vowed to kill the Nunh who killed their father, and, though he was not as close to their father as A'ran, A'rho promised he would help and support his brother in this endeavor and return to the tribe with him.

A'ran often came home half-choked by the dust and fumes he'd been breathing. Seeing this, A'rho got a hold of every book on Conjuring and Arcinamy he could lay his grubby hands on, studying and practicing late into the night to cleanse his brother of the dust and ash. A'ran, in the meantime, got caught up with a gang and while A'rho didn't approve, he remained supportive of his brother.

=====Present Day=====

These days, A'rho has grown to love his freedom and time away from the tribe. He's taken to studying the properties of Materia and Aether Crystals (both corrupted and benign) for his own personal gain. He's taken a particular interest in corrupted aether which has led to a number of ...failed experiments. He continues to hone his magic, studying as often as he can. In the last few months, he's mastered some advanced Arcanist spells. He still occasionally takes on commissions from the Weaver's Guild, though that particular chapter of his life is coming to a close.

He and A'randr have presently started their own business, selling organic, all-natural herbal smokes under the trademark Nophica's Bounty. The have recently purchased a home with their earnings and are enjoying middle-class life a fair bit. They have frequented the Gold Saucer.

The twins also felt another loss when their friend Dhem died to a curse from the Siren. A'rho took it particularly hard, as Dhem was very dear to him and it was the first loss of someone he truly cared for.

The dullness of middle class life has evaporated recently. A'rho has become increasingly more involved with his friends at the Coral Sea, and was unwittingly roped into a problem they've been having with a particularly nasty Voidsent. Asked to test the blood of three members who'd been stricken by shadowy tendrils, A'rho did not know he shouldn't breathe the floral scented fumes for an extended period of time. He wound up falling asleep and encountering said Voidsent, and has since joined the ranks of those it marked.

Needless to say, A'randr did not take the news well.

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[A'randr Tia]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#bca6d6;" size="2">♥</font> ''')''' - '''Brother'''</div>
: <div>A'randr is the most important person in his life. A'rho loves him with all his heart and is very protective of him. A'rho doesn't like being far from his brother, even if it's just a few days. The twins have developed a codependency that can come off as a bit unnerving to those who get to know them well enough.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Faezbhar Rysswilf]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#F02311;" size="2">♥</font> ''')''' - '''Beau'''</div>
: <div>A'rho is sweet on Faezbhar. Affectionately calls him 'Fuzzy Bear'. A'rho finds him utterly charming and extra cuddly. His infatuation has not gone unnoticed. Granted, one would have to be blind, deaf, and catatonic to miss it.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">A'jirho Nunh (Deceased)</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#C24640;" size="2">✖</font> ''')''' - '''Father'''</div>
: <div>A'jirho could not have been more openly disapointed about what a lump of useless that the son named from him turned out to be. A'rho never had much of a relationship with his father who did little to hide his disapproval of Rho's magic. A'tho considers his passing and the move to Ul'dah the best thing that ever happened to him, though he keeps these particular tidbits of internal strife to himself, since their father is one of the few people he thinks A'randr cared for.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">A'rhanbolo Dhavha</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="2">♥</font> ''')''' - '''Mother'''</div>
: <div>A'rho's mother. She's a stern woman and well-respected in their little branch of the A-tribe, and Rho loves her to pieces. He still visits her frequently and they catch up with their day-to-day lives. Gave A'rho a small handmirror as a parting gift when he was twelve, though that has wound up in... very interesting circumstances.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Dhemgeim Shyrdoenwyn]] (Deceased)</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="2">♥</font> ''')''' - '''Dearest Friend'''</div>
: <div>Dhem may as well have been family as far as A'rho is concerned. She always gave the best hugs and ear-scratches. Her death hit him hard, and he deeply regrets not being around more for her. And being late for her wedding.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Sigurd Rainecourt]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="2">♥</font> ''')''' - '''His Other Brother From Another Mother'''</div>
: <div>Sig might have been directly responsible for Dhem's death, but A'rho still believed in him. He cares deeply for Sigurd and is almost as protective of him as he is of A'ran. Since his trial, A'rho has been trying to pull Sig out of the obvious funk he's in. After all, researchers of questionable magic need to stick together</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[L'aenoh Tia]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="2">♥</font> ''')''' - '''Vitriolic Best Bud'''</div>
: <div>A'rho takes a great deal of delight in teasing L'ae and drawing mustaches in his very public displays of pornographic books. A'randr has kept A'rho from getting directly involved with L'ae's troubles in the past, though he managed to sneak in advice and things when he could. L'ae's marriage to Staelufre has been an utter delight and A'rho is very proud of him.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Rinhilda Stonebreaker]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="2">♥</font> ''')''' - '''Cake Friend'''</div>
: <div>A'rho loves Rin because she shares his delight in doing nothing but eating sweets, lounging around and talking absolute shit. He considers her sweet, funny and an absolute delight. In his more recent pieces for Nophica's Bounty, he's used her as the model for the goddess.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Staelufre Lysmerl]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#6B8E23;" size="2">✔</font> ''')''' - '''Friend'''</div>
: <div>A'rho likes Stae a fair bit, though they've only talked a handful of times. Still, he likes her odd way of talking and perceptive nature- finding her refreshing reprieve from his muddled thoughts.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Jancis Milburga]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#6B8E23;" size="2">✔</font> ''')''' - '''Friends'''</div>
: <div>Jancis is sweet and precious and lovely. He met her at the Grindstone and helped with healing, and he instantly took a shine to her. The fact A'ran likes her as well is just a bonus.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Certia Soteru]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#6B8E23;" size="2">✔</font> ''')''' - '''Friends'''</div>
: <div>Certia cooked him food. Twice. And he invited her for a sleepover party where they totally talked about boys and painted each other's toenails. The fact that Certia has trusted him with the super secret truth about her means he will never betray her trust under pain of death.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Ehla Selhah]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#6B8E23;" size="2">✔</font> ''')''' - '''Classmate'''</div>
: <div>A'rho and Ehla met at the Arcanists Guild and bonded over being disgustingly obnoxious and overbearing. And Carbuncles- both the cute kind and the affliction of the skin. Truly a friendship for the ages.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Caen Jabari]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#6B8E23;" size="2">✔</font> ''')''' - '''Precious Cinnamon Bun'''</div>
: <div> Caen is tiny and precious and shared Faezbhar snuggles with him. A'rho feels instantly responsible for his well-being and wants him to have friends and happiness and plates of sugar cookies.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Reinette Sompt]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#6b6e72;" size="2">●</font> ''')''' - '''Nice Lady'''</div>
: <div>Thought her treatment of Siggy was cold but understandable. He still thinks she's pretty amazing though.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[A'rahn Tia]] and [[A'ghust Tia]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#6b6e72;" size="2">●</font> ''')''' - '''Other Twins'''</div>
: <div>They're the other twins! Perhaps what A'randr and A'rho might have been.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Khuja'ra Bajhiri]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#6b6e72;" size="2">●</font> ''')''' - '''Let's Get Some Shoes.'''</div>
: <div>Get in loser, we're going shopping.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Valentinoix Thibault]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#6b6e72;" size="2">●</font> ''')''' - '''Stuffy Elezen #1,478'''</div>
: <div>While Val offered rho some helpful information, it took a while for him to decipher it because Val talks like someone from three hundred years ago.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Reginald Ozrik]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#6b6e72;" size="2">●</font> ''')''' - '''That Floppy Haired Hyur'''</div>
: <div>A'rho refuses to get his name right because Reginoot just sounds cuter.</div>

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Appearance & Personality</div>===
:A'randr is the product of Ul'dah, lured from tribal traditions by the golden gleam of coin and the comfort it promises. Cool, calm, and confident, he puts on so many airs, it's a wonder he doesn't float away. In truth, he is an aloof individual, preferring not to socialize if there is nothing to be gained and even then, his interactions often come off as flat and shallow. At his default, he speaks in dull, dry tones though he becomes much more amiable around those he is close to, especially when Rho is in tow.

:His years of toiling in the mines have left him with a lean and muscular build, appearing stocky on his short frame. This is a stark contrast to his softer, more rounded twin, making it simple to tell the two apart.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Biography</div>===
=====Early Years=====

:Ferocious little kit he was. The pride and joy of A'jirho Nunh, A'randr was shown clear favoritism over his numerous half-siblings from a very early age. Personally taught by the Nunh to fish, trap, and hunt, he was groomed to follow in his father's footsteps when the time came.
:Rising to Nunh-hood became an obsession, a fixation for the boy. Everything was done with purpose: if it did not serve to better himself or better his tribe, it was not worth pursuing at all.

=====Off to Ul'dah=====

:<font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[A'rho Tia]] : Little brother! Rho is the center of his world, and his moral compass. He's very dependent on his brother, to the point where he views the world in a matter of, "Us, and them." Unhealthy, to say the least.
:<font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Leopold Starke]] : The closest thing he has to a best friend, honestly. A'ran treats Leo as a second brother. Second-place brother, rather. Rho always comes first, a fact that makes Leo a bit jealous considering his own family issues. A'ran will still pat his head and smooth out his bangs, though, in the breaks between bashing skulls and smuggling drugs into Limsa. It's unsettling to witness.
:<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[L'aenoh Tia]] : A'randr didn't particularly like him at first and took to mocking him upon their first encounter, though they've become friendly with one another over a short period of time. A'ran is a friend when it suits him and usually doesn't pull through when L'ae really needs him. Also, he supplies his high.
:<font style="color:#F02311;" size="3">♥</font> [[Sigurd Rainecourt]] : A'ran initially sought out to befriend him because he viewed Sigurd as "the other third wheel," and so they should band together at parties. For a brief period, A'randr attempted to court him but was incredibly wishy-washy in his affections, treating it mostly as a joke. He dropped his pursuit a bit too easily when Sigurd and Reinette began seeing one another, though he remained privately bitter over the pair if only because he felt Reinette <i>swooped in</i> on his "territory". Time has left him to stew on it and he has begun to pick at the cracks in their crumbling relationship, waiting for his opportunity to <i>swoop</i> this time. Asshole.
:<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Reinette Sompt]] : Nnngghghrnrnghh, she's so nice though.
:<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Dhemgeim Shyrdoenwyn]] : He considered her a close friend. But then she died because of Sigurd's shitty spellcasting. Welp.
:<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Jancis Milburga]] : She flips the little wings out on her juice boxes. Oh no, how cute! A'randr finds her sweet and holds a shy admiration for her. Typically he refers to her as "Miss Jancis" to be polite, because she deserves no less. And because he doesn't remember her surname.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Appearance & Personality</div>===
: Nailah is short for a highlander, so much that several people have referred to her as a "Shortlander" instead. She is about a head and a bit lower than her peers, standing at approximately 168 cm. She is of a build that appeals more to mobility and speed, combined with the usual strength for a highlander. Her muscles are lightly defined, with her skin being of a fair hue - often subject to tans as she spends a great amount of time in the regions where the sun is rarely anything but baking. She appears to be somewhere in her late twenties, and her time around in Eorzea has landed her with a number of scars. The most distinct ones are located on her left shoulder - Respectively, a large melted scar from a severe burn, and several grim scars from a plethora of knife-cuts and lashings. Her hair is of a deep red color, often compared to an intense fire. It's cut short, in a fashionable style. She has grey eyes, and on her left cheek she carries a water-resistant piece of face-paint that she touches up on once in a while.
: Of attire, Nailah greatly prefers relaxed clothing. She is rarely armored, opting for leather whenever required. She can often be seen in lominsan-inspired attires, and has no problem wearing slightly revealing clothing. She is rarely, if ever, sighted in dresses and skirts. Almost at all times, people will see either or both of her bags with her - a rucksack for longer trips, and a single-strapped shoulder bag for daily errands. She is a woman who is used to the concept of living out of your bags, and as such she often carries a multitude of items with her, stretching for survivalist gear, food and knives to trinkets and pelts.
: In recent time, Nailah has also been sighted wielding two daggers, however they are usually concealed within her attires.

: Nailah as a person is a woman used to the rhythm of the world. She usually puts up a facade of smiles and pleasant conversation when she is out and about. She enjoys meeting new people, and is always game for talking about business of various sort. Should one be persistent enough to break through her barriers, one would find a Nailah that is showing signs of wear of the years. Her job isn't an easy one, and she finds it hard to leave her worries go and relax. She misses elements of her past dearly, and may seem much like a flickering flame.
: Her biggest passion is her company, she owes it a lot for practically saving her life, and will go to great lengths to keep it safe. The same can be said about her closest friends, she is fiercely loyal until someone proves that they do not deserve her loyalty.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Biography</div>===

====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Childhood</div>====

: Nailah was born into a time of trouble, where uncertainty and fear weren't uncommon in Ala Mihgo, the great City State of the Highlanders. She was the youngest child in a pack of three, to her Highlander mother and Midlander father. They had met within the field of keeping people safe, and continued to work as that in the first few years of Nailah's life. When the King of Ruin fell, however, the turmoil that followed and preceded the Garlean takeover was too much for her parents to handle, and they were subsequently killed. Strangers found Nailah and her two elder siblings, though she had been separated from them, and as such they were sent to different orphanages. Nailah ended in Ul'dah, too terrified to say her own name. She was given the name Sastra by her caregiver at the orphanage, and she continued to live here for all of her childhood, with memories from her time in Ala Mihgo fading into the subconsciousness of her mind.

====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Teenage</div>====

: Sometime around her thirteenth year, Nailah was faced with no other option but to move away from the orphanage. She'd become too old to stay, and as a last act of kindness, the orphanage gave her several options to find work and mentor-ship in Ul'dah. But neither the crafts nor the guilds of arm caught her interest. Rather, she chose to seek outside of the walls, with no knowledge of what dangers that was out there. That she survived her first night, and the moons to follow, was down more to luck than her skills. She did however start to pick up on tips and tricks, and after some years of making it on her own, she came upon a settlement that hesitantly allowed her to stay for a number of years. It was here that she met the love of her life, where she matured and honed her skills to her own kind of mastery, and it is where she realized that no matter how much love she felt for a place -and it's people, the wanderlust would always overcome her in the end.

====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Present</div>====

: Whilst Nailah has adjusted to her position in her company, she still has many challenges both grand and small, that is ever evolving as she treads further down her road. She doubts her own capabilities, and is in the wake of a removal of a blockage of her aether, learning the arts of Thraumaturgy in order to make up for one of her worst shortcomings: Being rather miserably defenseless in advanced combat situations. Her progress is slow, as she is not familiar with the concept of sitting down and reading a book. She has over the past few months learnt how to read and write to some extend, but is still lacking efficiency and routine. However under Mikh'a Elakha's expert guidance, she is confident that she will at least survive her trials.
: When it comes to her social life, it stands more muted compared to earlier times. Her company work is weighing down her time, and when she finally does try to socialize with her employees, it usually results in people feeling awkward as she is their boss. She has been seeking to visit other bars and events more frequently because of this, and has been blessed to meet several people she can have perfectly normal conversations with her.
: It would seem the winding path is taking her further and further away from her life as it was just a few years ago, something she has noticed - time will tell if she can keep on denying herself the ways and tendencies that she once used to live for.

Some people see her unfit to lead, or outright think the decisions she makes are mad, but i came to realize that we might simply underestimate her.

'''Flickering Ember''' is a blind roegadyn hailing from Eastern Thanalan. The girl has accomplished the seemingly impossible by growing up in solitude within the arid region. She is a feral child who has been partially assimilated into society over the course of several years. When she was first discovered in the wilds of Thanalan shortly after the Calamity, she was essentially mute with the exception of a few toddler-like words. Though with often animal-like mannerisms and a lack of understanding towards society and culture, Ember keeps home in The Goblet along with her free company, Aeon.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #C94C33;font-size:14px;color:#120A07;">Physical Description</div>===
Despite her youth, Ember's height matches many of the tallest roegadyns. It is easily her most apparent feature as she towers over most people, including many roegadyns. Her next most recognizable features are her ashy dark skin, fiery red hair, distinctive facial markings, and her odd eyes. Ashy dark skin contrasts with her bright red-orange fiery hair, creating the look of a young woman who encompasses the spirit of the very volcanoes her clan hails from. Her body is marked by several scars she has obtained from her rugged lifestyle. None of these are grisly battle scars, but rather small, faint, and faded ones that are too difficult to notice without staring. Aside from her scars, she has two more noticeable markings elsewhere on her body. The more obvious one is the claw like marking that spreads from one end of her face to another. It appears to be permanently graphed into her skin. The other is runic symbol on her left upper back, just over where her heart is. It is clearly of a magical nature with its glowing chill blue and intricate design.

Aside from height, Ember lives up to another of her race's features with her muscular build. A lifestyle of hunting and surviving with no one to depend on but herself has kept her physically strong. However, she is not as well chiseled as an experienced, fully grown roegadyn warrior. Ember's weight can fluctuate as well depending on her current living situations. Much of the time her friends and family provide her with food, something on which Ember indulges on without limit. This helps her put on some much needed fat. Overall, she is a muscular, physically strong girl who could still use some toughening up to reach her full potential.

Ember's eyes are another item of note. The young woman is blind though she is without cataracts or any noticeable injury to the eyes. They are normal and healthy. Clues of her condition can be gathered from how she looks at her environments around her. She does not make eye contact wit objects or people nor do her pupils shift much. Often times this can result in her appearing to stare at something or someone endlessly.

Her voice is on the husky side but lightened by Ember's typical inquisitive, enthusiastic, and generally happy demeanor.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #C94C33;font-size:14px;color:#120A07;">Personality</div>===

Ember is a person of extremes. She is either quiet and mistrusting, hostile and aggressive, or sweet and affectionate. In new situations or around those she does not know, she can be reserved and suspicious. However, her trust can be easily won by gift-giving, aiding her when she is in need, or providing her with affection. If Ember feels threatened for whatever reason, even if the gesture is relatively mundane or harmless, she will lash out. She is very protective of things she claims as her own and this can extend past just items of value. Most importantly, Ember loves and desires attention. She longs for the approval of others and places extreme importance in impressing others that she has a strong opinion of.

She is curious of almost everything and enjoys actively interacting with people and/or items. Even the smallest things in life can bring her great joy. She can also be stubborn at times, choosing when or when she will not listen to others. However, the more she sees an individual as a superior, the more she will be willing to listen to them. Her solitude can lead her to be insensitive but the well-being of others is a top concern for her. Above all, she is affectionate and seeks happiness through others.

Apart from this, Ember acts on instinct and irrational thought to guide her in decision-making, a product of her upbringing. Often times she is more of a do-er than a thinker. Because of her upbringing, she hasn’t had the advantage of education but more importantly, she hasn’t been mentally stimulated the same way others who have grown up around people have. She did not learn to speak until very late in her life, troubling for her mental development. She is overall not as intelligent as many others for this reason, although she holds no mental conditions. More times than not, though, she is simply ignorant and can make up for her lack of knowledge with cleverness, should the situation call for it.

Tiergan was seven when the Empire devastated Ala Mhigo - sparking the beginning of a life marred by violence, savage fighting pits, drugs, and chaos. His parents were slain trying to defend their home and he was separated from his elder sister, Lurial, when slavers captured him along with several other Ala Mhigan refugees fleeing from the region.

Now as an escaped gladiator-slave, Tiergan takes various jobs as a mercenary while slowly and methodically working to destroy his former-master's sprawling empire. For without facing the past - can a man truly be free?

| <span style="color:#f0f8ff">Heavy scarring all across his body - particularly at his back. </span>
|}

<br/>With numerous scars running across his flesh like a latticework and a body swathed in a mix of plate, chain, and leather - Tiergan looks every bit the gladiator he once was.

He is tall for a miqo'te, standing at 5 fulms 8 ilms with broad shoulders and a thick, heavily-muscled frame. His skin is a golden bronze color further deepened by time in the sun - the richness of it marred by various scars of many types. His hair is a stark white, carelessly cut and styled without much regard to appearance. One need only to glance at the male to realise Tiergan places far more value on his clothing and possessions being functional then beautiful.

The male typically maintains a rigid, quiet, but subtly aggressive posture, his frost-blue gaze fierce and cold. He rarely seems relaxed and has an air about him like a coeurl forced into a corner - tensed, angry, and his eyes fixed upon any and all potential danger.

===<div style="background:#444363; font-size:30px; color:#FFFFFF">Behavior and Personality</div> ===

Around strangers, Tiergan strives to carry himself in a calm, somewhat stoic manner, keeping his thoughts and emotions close to the vest while watching closely for the behavior of others. However, he is easily swept up by anger, passion, and impulsiveness, often acting first and regretting later unless it is something he meticulously plans for. A lifetime of deceit, greed, and trickery has left the miqo'te wary and mistrustful of those around him and he struggles to be at peace when not alone. With friends and allies, the miqo'te has more difficulty concealing his emotions. The closer one becomes to him, the easier he is to read, transforming the mercenary from a cold, stand-offish figure to something of an open book.

Outside of combat, close contact of any kind sometimes triggers intense discomfort if the miqo'te is not expecting it. He maintains a respectful distance from others and only draws closer in a way that is obvious and offers plenty of time for the other to stop his approach if they feel threatened. Tiergan avoids speaking about his past history whenever possible, except that he was a refugee from Ala Mhigo, and tends not to pry into the history of others. Privately, Tiergan yearns for nothing more then something resembling a family or being with a group of people he can fully rely on. However, the very idea of letting down his guard and extending his trust to a large number of people makes him feel so exposed and vulnerable that he avoids doing so at all costs.

Though Tiergan believes on some level that the Twelve exist, he does not actively worship any of them save for Rhalgr, who he seems to pay respect to mainly in remembrance of the nation that had once been his home. He firmly believes everyone is in control of their own lives and can forge a different path whenever they so choose. He finds the concept of Fate abhorrent, particularly because it would mean much of his life's suffering was somehow destined.

==<div style="background:#444363; font-size:30px; color:#FFFFFF">Combat</div>==
As a gladiator, Tiergan was known for throwing himself into battle with a blade in his right hand and a steel-gauntlet in his left. He preferred close-quarters combat and liked going on the offensive right from the start, moving in fast and aggressive with the hope of leaving precious little time for his adversary to guard or parry. He pressed hard, testing his opponent's defenses until he found blood and weakness. He dressed light - armoring only certain parts of his body while keeping much of the rest exposed - though whether this was due to some sort of strategy to help him move more swiftly or because he was forced to garb himself in that manner is unclear.

In current times, the miqo'te's fighting style has shifted slightly. Though he still mainly relies on speed and aggression to carve his way to victory, the mercenary is now often seen carrying a shield and - especially when fighting alongside others - tends to engage in battles from a more cautious, defense-minded approach. He is heavily armored, the plate, chain, and leather covering up most of his body (and subsequently, most of his scars.)

Casting his shield to the side is often a sign that the miqo'te has, in a sense, shifted back to his old ways and intends to seek blood in any way he can regardless of any damage to himself.

His greatest weakness is fighting ranged combatants that are able to keep him from closing the distance. He especially loathes fighting spell-casters of any kind and often rushes to get in close as soon as possible when facing one.

==<div style="background:#444363; font-size:30px; color:#FFFFFF">Occupation, Skills, and Pastimes</div>==
Tiergan often describes himself as a mercenary, usually favoring jobs geared more towards combat such as escort missions, guarding people of interest, defending towns, or participating in all out attacks against bandit camps. He avoids jobs that may bring him too close to working for members of Ul'dah's dark underbelly and outright refuses missions that force him to subjugate the poor, the innocent, or the people of Little Ala Mhigo.

The miqo'te is a member of the Immortal Flames' Free Brigade. However, his name on any official documentation would come up as V'rahn Tia.

=== Affiliations ===

Immortal Flames Free Brigade<br>
Ul'dah Adventurer's Guild

=== Family ===

Tiergan was born into a life of poverty. However, most of his memories of that time were happy ones due to his parents shielding their children from the insanity and chaos caused by Ala Mhigo's King of Ruin.

<br/>'''Father:''' V'rahn Nunh ''(deceased)'' - Seeker of the Sun - Formerly a Tia that had grown tired with his life in his tribe. The scarlet haired male left to forge a path of his own and ended up in Ala Mhigo where he met his mate, Siha. He took on the last name 'Nunh' after his children were born as a cheeky way of showing he now had a 'tribe'.

'''Mother:''' Siha Ashir ''(deceased)'' - Keeper of the Moon - Similarly to V'rahn, Siha had left her tribe to experience the world outside of the usual traditions of Moon Keeper life and ended up in Ala Mhigo where she met and settled with her mate. They were both slain attempting to protect their children in the midst of the rebellion and the Garlean advance on Ala Mhigo.

'''Aunt:''' V'ira Tarja ''(deceased)'' - Seeker of the Sun - V'rahn's fiery sister. She left their tribe alongside V'rahn, eager to experience the world outside of its confines, and traveled with him to Ala Mhigo.

'''Uncle:''' C'aseen the Poet ''(deceased)'' - Seeker of the Sun - A monk in the ranks of the Fists of Rhalgr who yearned for unmatched power in order to defend his way of life unopposed. He fell madly in love with V'ira and would spend nights singing ballads to her, not realising she was fighting feelings for him. Eventually they would come together and sire a red-haired boy who V'ira named Vailyx.

'''Sister: [[Lurial Vashir]]''' - Both Tiergan and Lurial were given more Hyur-sounding names to help them fit in more easily amongst the mostly Hyuran population. Their last name is a combination of Siha's family name and Rahn's tribe. Lurial is an information broker by trade, based in Ul'dah and often watches out for her brother even if he does not always notice.

'''Cousin: [[Vailyx the Swifttail]]''' ''(MIA)'' - Seeker of the Sun - As children, Vailyx, Tiergan, and Lurial were a cheerful, rambunctious trio that were constantly playing together and occasionally getting into all manner of trouble whenever Vailyx came up with a clever plan. As he was the oldest of the group, Vailyx often was protective of his younger siblings and young Tiergan looked up to Vailyx deeply, seeing him as both his best friend and role model. The young miqo'te attempted to emulate his older cousin in any way he could. Tiergan has not seen Vailyx since he was seven, and was unaware that Vailyx survived the Fall of Ala Mhigo until recently. He still holds onto the hope that Vailyx may still yet be alive.

'''Cousin: [[Caen Jabari]]''' - Seeker of the Sun - A sprightly, acrobatic youth without any memory of his past. Tiergan was initially unaware of Caen's existence as the youth was born long after Tiergan was enslaved. The former-gladiator was later overjoyed to learn that he not only had another surviving relative, but that Caen was the younger brother to Vailyx. He's is now determined to protect Caen as he believes Vailyx would and to give the boy the family Caen has been missing for five long years.

===<div style="background:#444363;font-size:30px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;">Romance</div>===
<br>
Tiergan is a man who actively avoids romance. While he has slept with various men and women on a casual basis and shared his bed with many during his time as a slave, his history is largely violent and full of unhealthy relationships both intimate and not. The last major romantic relationship of his past ended with the death of his lover and the sense that he catastrophically failed to protect the woman he loved. He badly hurt the last two people he attempted to romance in current times in ways that ended the courtship, largely viewing the failed relationships as being a direct result of the kind of unpleasant person his life experiences have forged him into.

This, along a fear of being confined and controlled from his time as a slave, makes him incredibly skittish of romancing anyone. The overwhelming tide of sensations that come with forging a romance are far too intense and too raw, leaving him with the strong potential to lash out in one way or another. He enjoys casual intimacy amongst close friends, but responds with extreme discomfort or even panic if pressed to draw into a relationship of a far more serious nature as it triggers far too many unpleasant memories.

['''OOC:''' Romance RP not one of the main focuses of my RP. I enjoy romantic tension and conflict. If your character attempts to romance Tiergan, do so knowing that it most likely result in a clusterfuck that has an extremely small chance of turning into a normal RP relationship. ]

It's clear the two have a great deal of history together - but Tiergan often refuses to go into detail about it.

Tiergan occasionally makes the trek towards Faolan's territory, to seek out advice and to learn the very beginnings of conjury. Recently, bizarre events have made Tiergan extremely wary of the woodsman, but also terrified for the hermit's future safety. The wheel turns. The Cycle begins again.</td>

Tiergan often refers to Teld're as a 'storm siren' for the swordsman's dangerous, storm-like nature and his tendency to pull others to him with a sense of charismatic grace. It has become a source of both fascination and frustration for Tiergan as he often finds himself unable to simply walk away when Teld're calls for him -- far too allured by the swordsman's voice.

Tiergan is never sure what to make of the towering elezen that seems to observe and protect others from the shadows. The man rarely speaks of his motives, and the revelation that Juste was, in some way, Garlean, has sewn considerable mistrust in the miqo'te's heart.

It wasn't until recently that Tiergan returned and apologised for his cowardice, though the mercenary seems relieved to see Niko'lai has already moved on, finding a lover that reciprocates the bard's affections. </td>

=== Common Rumors ===

::*"That man? Ah, he's jus' a mercenary. Tends to pick jobs that mostly revolve around fightin' and beatin' the stuffing outta someone - but what mercenary doesn't these days?"
::*"I see that one wandering about Little Ala Mhigo from time to time. He doesn't speak much - just arrives, drops off food, supplies, and what have you to the people there - and leaves after exchanging words with only a few select individuals."
::*"Tiergan - eh? He used to be quite the successful gladiator at the Coliseum back in the day. Haven't seen him fight in a little over three years though."

=== Moderate Rumors ===

::*"Oh, he ''seems'' like the calm and collected sort, sure, but hit him in the back - ''hard'' - an' he fights like a demon unleashed!"
::*"Thal's balls! I used to bet on that man in the fightin' pits - the ones ''outside'' the Coliesum that the Brass Blades turn a blind eye too. Used t'create a right bloody spectacle whenever he stepped in the ring. Haven't seen him fight in some time though. Not sure what happened."
::*"I think he might have a sister? She works as an information broker in Ul'dah. Don't know if they particularly like each other though - no one's ever seen them spending much time together."
::*"I see that one leaving the city all the time. Sometimes it's just for a usual job or mission. Other times, he vanishes for days and sometimes comes back bloodied and bruised. He'll say he was simply on a rough job - but the look on his face says it was something much, much more sinister then that. Best not to keep close company with that one, I say."

=== Rare Rumors ===

::*"That one's a slave, or at least he used to be. Fought on the Bloodsands for one of the most brutal men alive. It's a miracle he's even free."
::*"I hear a criminal lord that goes by the name 'Omen' used to own that one. Would pay good coin to have him brought back too. The man rarely lets his slaves loose - usually the only way out is a mountain of gil or death."

[[File:DA tier.jpg|left|506x625px|DA_tier.jpg]]

=== Childhood ===

Tiergan was seven when the Empire devastated Ala Mhigo. His parents were slain trying to defend their home and he was separated from his older sister, Lurial, when slavers captured him along with several other Ala Mhigan refugees fleeing from the region.

Sold to a shrewd and wealthy merchant, Tiergan spent the next six years burrowing in mines and quarries, performing hard labour along with many other child-workers who had been bought for the same purpose. With each year that passed, the youngling grew more angry, vicious, and aggressive - making him difficult to control and risky to keep. His memories of life before the quarries were beginning to fade, but he still recalled the kind voice of his mother, the warm strength of his father, and the sister he'd been torn away from when the madness began.

Instead of putting the slave down and wasting an investment, the merchant eventually traveled to the Ul'dahn Black Markets and resold Tiergan as a potential gladiator slave to a secretive criminal lord known only as "Omen." The youth made his first kill not long after, when he was thrust into a room with another child of the same age and told that only one of them would be permitted to leave alive to become a gladiator.

The years that followed were a frenzied blur of harsh, rigorous training; brutal combat in illegal fighting arenas; and terrifying, nightmarish visions. Blackroot Rose leaves were used to give the youth a cruel, but lethal advantage towards the start of his 'career' and somnus was used to calm the boy afterwards, making him docile. The constant back and forth between frenzied uncontrollable violence and mind-numbing calm nearly turned the youngling into a shattered mess. However, as Tiergan grew more powerful in his own right, the use of Blackroot Rose became blessedly less frequent, eventually stopping all together.

With time, Lurial heard word of Tiergan and tracked him down. The brother and sister found ways to meet and stay in contact, their strong sibling bond becoming unbreakable over time as they took solace in the fact the other had survived and they were not truly alone.

=== Adulthood ===

At the age of 17, Tiergan was moved into the adult slave pens. There, an unusual hierarchy was established where the strongest slave - designated as the "Alpha" - received special privileges and treatment in exchange for keeping all of the other slaves in line. The Alpha status was signified by a single red band around the upper arm and other slaves could fight the reigning Alpha with hopes of defeating them and taking their place.

Savagely clawing his way to the top, Tiergan reached Alpha status within a year. There, he embraced luxuries and pleasures he'd previously been denied, freedoms he'd never truly known. With each day that passed, the more the miqo'te indulged himself in a world of sadistic aggression, pitiless savagery, and hedonistic dominance. He took what he wanted, touched what he liked, forcing others to bend to his needs and desires as he took advantage of everything being an 'Alpha' afforded him. There were three other equally powerful contenders for the position. However, through a combination of luck and skill, the Tiergan managed to remain Alpha for three solid years until he lost the position to Zaius - a vicious, towering miqo'te with unparalleled strength and a sharp, calculating mind, who had only arrived within the pens a week before.

At first, Tiergan viewed Zaius with a great deal of resentment. After spending so much time at the top, the idea that someone could simply appear and defeat him within a week of arriving was infuriating. To make matters worse, the older, stronger male was often cruel and abrasive, mistreating Tiergan at every possible opportunity. Other slaves that had always fought Tiergan one-on-one in hopes of stealing his position, swiftly began ganging up on him in groups to exact revenge. Omen's men no longer regarded him with any measure of respect and he was denied all of the things he'd once enjoyed.

In desperation to regain his position, Tiergan clashed with Zaius often, fighting with the other male over and over, until eventually a frenzied, tumultuous relationship developed. Gradually, the abuse Tiergan faced at the hands of others vanished as he fell under Zaius' protection. Even Omen's men hesitated to bring Tiergan any harm, his bond with Zaius swinging wildly between enemy, friend, and lover. Tiergan's emotions fell into conflict, his sense of pride making it difficult for Tiergan to see Zaius as anything other then a hated enemy or rival to be defeated... while Zaius' tendency to protect and defend him made it hard for Tiergan not to feel a little appreciation and even fondness for the older miqo'te. As the years passed, Zaius became both his most hated opponent and most valued, trusted confidant. Zaius knew him better than any other, and having a 'friend' that he could quietly rely on, someone who always had his back -- even if it came at a price -- was an experience that radically changed Tiergan's perceptions.

It wasn't until sudden rioting erupted amongst the slaves and one of the walls to the pens exploded that Tiergan was eventually able to escape. With countless other slaves fighting each other and pouring out of the opening, Tiergan and many others were able to flee Omen's control. Tiergan later learned it was all orchestrated by her sister who had been planning to liberate him, but had no way of relaying the news. The gladiator-slave was finally free.

His first taste of freedom did not come easy. His time as a slave had forged him into a rough, heartless man of violence with a sadistic streak tempered only by the fact that he'd been humbled by Zaius. It took him a little more than two years years, with Lurial and others gently (and sometimes not so gently) guiding him every step of the way, for Tiergan to unlearn many old, brutal habits and to transform into a far more quiet, balanced individual.

=== Present ===

Since his escape, Tiergan has become a mercenary, taking on whatever jobs he can to survive. Omen placed a notable bounty on his head in order to have the gladiator returned back to the Pits, only for Tiergan to respond by either killing the bounty hunters that pursue him or sending them back to Ul'dah with broken, shattered bones. While he is a relatively quiet man and does not draw too much attention to himself save during combat -- he doesn't always fully disguise himself when going about his life in Ul'dah, relying on the considerably large miqo'te population to help him blend in with the crowd. He will sometimes however, give his father's name in the place of his own when signing documents that can leave an obvious paper-trail for others to follow.

He's often seen around Little Ala Mhigo and other nearby refugee camps, delivering food and supplies to the people there, before leaving as swiftly as he came. Every once in a while however, Tiergan heads out on his own, vanishing for a long stretch of time and coming back days later, bloodied and disheveled. He engages on a bloody vengeful crusade, tracking down Omen's men, slaughtering them, and disrupting his old master's activities in hopes of bringing the man's vast empire crumbling down to the foundations. Knowing that inciting Omen's anger too much would cause him more problems than he could manage, Tiergan takes great care not only to disguise himself during these 'hunts', but to kill everyone that might return to speak of the destruction he sows and is relentless in his brutality and rage.

He looks back upon his past with a mix of anger, deep regret, and an infuriating sense of yearning he cannot shake. As much as he hated being shackled by anyone and privately wishes he could atone for the depravity of his actions as an Alpha, a small and terrible part of him can't help but miss the position and all the luxuries he enjoyed. It is a dark, unpleasant part of him that the miqo'te keeps buried, hoping that with time, it will eventually go away.

==<div style="background:#444363; font-size:40px; color:#FFFFFF">Character Connections</div>==

The following characters may have the possibility of an RP link with Tiergan:

::* A gladiator or anyone affiliated with the gladiator's guild - they would recognise Tiergan a fellow gladiator who was successful in the coliseum. He was known for wielding a sword and a steel, clawed gauntlet when fighting and wore a brass gorget around his neck.
::* Anyone has ties to the Ul'dahn criminal underground - they might have seen Tiergan brawling it out in illegal combat pits. If they frequented them often enough or had deep enough ties, they would also know he was a gladiator-slave.
::* If your character has really REALLY strong ties to the Ul'dahn criminal underground - they would know he was owned by "Omen."
::* Fellow mercenaries - they may have worked together at one point or another. Or they would recognise Tiergan as another mercenary who often took jobs that involved either violence, killing, or guarding something.
::* Ala Mhigans, Ala Mhigan refugees, and people living or working in Little Ala Mhigo.
::* Fellow slaves - anyone who was enslaved shortly after the Garlean Empire struck down Ala Mhigo, was a child-laborer, or was a slave may have connections to Tiergan.
::* Bounty hunters may know of the sizable bounty on Tiergan's head. He is wanted alive.

'''Staelufre Lysmerl''' (pronounced /stail-OU-frey LEES-mar-ill/) was born on 10th Sun of the 5th Umbral Era (October 10th). Her name means "Still Shore of the Bright Sea". She is a miqo'te who was born to one of the vagrant Jackal tribes in La Noscea, wandering through much of Eorzea with them during her childhood. She has kept the affinity to remaining in the wilderness over any form of civilization to this day, and has a very odd way of speaking.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #EB9F9F;font-size:14px;color:#6B5344;">Basic Info</div>===
Not everyone can understand or relate to Staelufre. This is, at times, exceedingly frustrating to her. She speaks with a parlance that was invented and perfected by a hermit, and thus the mannerisms she uses are very foreign and often leading to misunderstanding. She has, however, been getting lessons on how to speak easier and has begun to become acquainted with a more common cant. Only adding to her oddities, she will avoid cities at a very unreasonable rate. At times, she also forgoes the comfort of houses and chooses to disappear into the wilderness for suns at a time. She prefers alcohol and fighting to any sort of minimal comfort, and excels in agility over brute strength or magick. Because Staelufre is terrible at remembering names, she often gives people her own "nicknames" derived from the roegadyn language.

: Staelufre cuts a slight figure, but nothing about her short stature is wasted. She is muscled and athletic in build, though short. Her skin is tanned and golden in complexion from both heritage and a great many days in the sun. With naturally pink hair and tail, though neither accept to being tried to tame. Her hair is fluffy and wild, and so often cut short or bound down by clips. Usually, after hunting, it's also caked in mud. Even more stunning than a girl with pink hair are her gold eyes. They glare at most of the world from behind long lashes, sharp and stripping. Even with the round face and fat, up-turned nose, the gentleness of her face is ruined by such intruding eyes.

: In almost all situations Staelufre's garbed lightly, wearing little more armor than leather. If there's any metal to her outfit, it is to reinforce weak points such as her shins or forearms. Never does Staelufre show her back, as across it is an uneven and encompassing scar that stretches from shoulders to lower back. More scars mar her arms and hands, though she also commonly wears gloves. Staelufre never goes anywhere without at least a knife, either hidden or plain, and cannot stand to equally part comfortable realms without her most precious ring.

: Staelufre most often stands slouched or with arms crossed, especially when in the presence of others. In crowds she is withdrawn, quiet and in corners. Anything more than five or six others and Staelufre simply tends to leave. She does not, under many circumstances, go into cities or crowded areas. She fears large numbers of people after being so withdrawn from civilization. It is to a point where she resents and hates any form of building or city, even at times preaching against the luxury of society. While she believes her words, she does also enjoy the luxuries that homes can provide. Beds and showers are much better than roots and cold lakes.

: In one word, a sum of her personality would be paradox. She is innocent and violent, both a hunter and likewise utterly feminine. She is harsh in her truths, and warm in her lies. Staelufre is both wise when it comes to others, and utterly ignorant in how to interact with them. Introspective, yet starved for friendship. Should anyone offer her kindness, she will eagerly drink it up and follow at their heels thereafter. Being alone for so long has both driven her to want freedom and to equally want camaraderie.

: One thing that is less fluid and contrary is her perspective on other people. People are either weak or strong, prey or hunters. Those who are prey she pities and sees no value in. Those who are hunters, she respects. Respect does not always mean Staelufre likes or trust them, however. After spending so long in the wild, she knows very well how to discern who is stronger and how to avoid confrontation. Unfortunately, she also strives to better herself at nearly every turn, so often has a deliberate cause and wish to throw herself into unfair situations just to come out stronger. This often makes her come across as rash, when the acts are in fact deliberate and she's always keenly aware of the very real danger of dying.

: If in situations when speaking to an individual person she trusts, Staelufre's personality truly shines through. Her words are eloquent and well-chosen, her loyalty is unbearably strong, and her optimism unyielding. She gives advice as best she can and admits ignorance when she cannot. Pride does, at times, keep her from asking for help when she needs it. When speaking to an individual that Staelufre dislikes, she becomes guarded and calloused. Her words are gated, capable of meaning anything, and her lies are so smooth it's impossible to tell them from the half-true metaphors. Her ability to command her emotions in front of those who she deems weaker is impressive, as is her capability of detaching value to their life. Those who are weak, in her opinion, are better off dead. Should Staelufre be speaking, however, individually with a person she doesn't yet know well, she'll always regard them in the way she would regard a new hunting territory. Assessing their weaknesses and prying for strengths, seeking the balance of their personality to determine whether or not they are worth her time.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #EB9F9F;font-size:14px;color:#6B5344;">Combat</div>===

: Staelufre does not fight other people very well. She is more akin to the hunt, to employing stealth and surprise, than to fighting others one-on-one. The thrill of battle still runs hot through her, however, and she always enjoys a good fight. Even if it means getting beaten black and blue, she'll take on an opponent if nothing more than for the experience of it. Because of her inexperience in direct combat, she relies mostly on her larger skills. This would be agility and speed. Not getting hit is the biggest name of her game, and while she can take a couple blows they wear her down quickly. Training for combat is not much in hefting weapons and striking dummies. She trains for flexibility and endurance. Running, stretching, climbing; unorthodox things that keep her body in shape but often don't translate into direct physical combat.

: Primarily, to defeat an opponent, Staelufre uses daggers. She looks for openings in armor first, and exploits any vulnerable spots. Due to being spry and nimble, reaching odd places isn't very difficult. What is difficult is getting close enough to cut without getting hit. So after a few slashes, Staelufre tends to back off and exhaust her opponent by letting them bleed out. To opponents she aims to kill rather than simply defeat, she usually aims for the neck or their gut. Blood is not something the miqo'te is shy of. If she aims to kill as well, it is even less likely that Staelufre will approach an opponent directly.

=====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#6B5344;">Tribal Years</div>=====

:: Born daughter of J'tyraka Nuhn in the jungles of La Noscea as J'adaeza, she had a relatively blissful childhood. Their tribe was exceedingly small, no more than forty people at once, and strictly nomadic. Primarily they traveled through La Noscea, but in her lifetime did build small crafts to carry them across the waters to find new hunting grounds in the Black Shroud. Because of the fact they were so small, it was required for every member of the tribe to be trained and responsible for many aspects of the community. From small things such as building fires, or to larger things such as teaching the children. It was expected, in her tribe, for men and women to both be able to hunt as well as mend wounds.

:: As with all the other children, being trained to be a productive member of the tribe begun as soon as infancy ended. Her life was relatively easy, for all that a nomadic tribal life could be. She did not excel very well when it came to cooking or skinning creatures. She did not have much patience to learn to stitch clothes back together, and was often scolded for playing too roughly with the other children. Yet one day, she was brought to her mother's tent and given a choice of weaponry. This would be the weapon she would wield for the rest of her life in the tribe, trained in it until it became as much part of her as a limb. Only then would she be allowed to hunt. J'adaeza chose a spear, which was too large for her scrawny form, but stubbornly kept to it.

:: To those of younger ages, one of the more experienced Tias became their teacher. He taught them how to use the weapons they chose, in a strict yet not unkind manner. J'adaeza at this time was awful with the spear. She commonly dropped it, or was much too loud when carrying it around. She was scolded almost constantly, given extra exercises to learn her weapon better, and not allowed to return to the fires until she finished them. It was punishing, but also rewarding. So early in age, she didn't become bitter by the experience, but instead elevated to enjoy the push of her body. To wield the spear was not a natural thing to the tiny pink-haired girl, but she progressed and became decent at it. Once proficient enough, the Tia then began to train her in hunting tactics and strategies. How to step quietly and place traps, the knowledge of sensing danger and so forth.

:: At ten, as is traditional in her tribe, J'adaeza was taken on her first hunting trip. She was not permitted to strike at any creatures or wander on her own. She stuck closely to the side of one of the mature hunters, and while much of what she learned was applied, she found she had much more to learn. The thrill of the hunt sunk quickly and deeply in her heart, however, and it soon took her over. She became obsessed with hunting, and decided after but a few meager years of training to dedicate her life to it.

:: This went against her tribe's custom, however. When J'adaeza's more relaxed chores and duties began to wane in favor to her hunting, she was taken aside and spoken to. At first, they only expressed concerned. Then, when she ignored their words and abandoned her other disciplines in arrogant need for the sport, they began to punish her in true. As an adolescent who, as pre-teens tend to be, was absolutely certain she knew what was best for her, J'azaeda rebelled against the obedience they demanded from her. This was not an uncommon thing at her age, even in the tribe, but it was still disruptive to a community so small. She was frustratingly single-minded and stuck to it. So one evening, after a particularly bad spat with her aunt, she decided to leave the tribe.

:: Leaving itself wasn't terribly traumatic to J'adaeza. The tribe, at the time, was on a particularly wealthy streak in the Shroud. She took a sufficient amount of foodstuffs and her spear, and set off at the opposite direction. It was liberating, for a while, until she found that one of her half-sisters trailing slowly after her. Having heard of J'adaeza's leaving, J'adisa had soon departed for her own reasoning. Guilt and familial obligation forced her to look over this other girl, who had no skill in hunting or fighting.

=====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#6B5344;">Death</div>=====

:: While J'adaeza and J'adisa traveled back to La Noscea, they found that life without a tribe was more difficult than previously imagined. While J'adaeza was a fair enough hunter, she was poor at every other practical application. Her rebellion became her own punishment, as her sister and her struggled to feed themselves or find proper campsites. There were many close calls to unsavory sorts and rabid beastmen, and J'adaeza gathered many colorful stories about swiping equipment from unsuspecting travelers.

:: During such a colorful tale, she managed to cross paths with the wrong sort of folk. The story involved behind to why, and how the events unfolded, tends to change with each evolution of the story in present day; suggesting a reluctance to admit why or perhaps even a true confusion as to its truth. But what she does always tell, and seem to recall accurately, is the mutilation of her back. Tossed into the sea of Vylbrand, she nearly drowned. Miracle of miracles, she survived. Washed upon the beach with her back quickly growing an infection. Time for her at this point grew wildly inconsistent. A fever over-took her and she wandered in search of shelter or help. Her body was dying, already weak from her time in the water and what she was certain had been her death. Now, she was experiencing the agony of dying all over again.

:: Here is where [[Vilsewaen Steinhoh]] rescued the dying miqo'te. She had no idea, for a long time, that she was even in the care of anyone. He tended to her in one of his camps in the lowlands of Vylbrand until she recovered enough to become lucid and aware of her situation. They spoke, and while she was still too weak to move did tell him of her sister and where their campsite had been before her near-fatal accident. J'adisa came immediately and helped Vilsewaen tend to J'adaeza. He spoke strangely, but treated them kindly, and offered more than enough hospitality that they felt comfortable staying at his side.

====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#6B5344;">Rebirth</div>====

:: Though the two half-sisters did not intend to stay with Vilsewaen long, his proficiency of living alone was more than they had. When he offered to teach them, they ended up agreeing. Thus it was that the two came under his tutelage, and the tutelage became something more. His patience and lack of social skills were precisely the right combination of dry and kind that the two bonded with. So when Vilsewaen, the wandering hermit that he is, said he was climbing higher to the La Noscean mountains he took J'adaeza and J'adisa with him.

:: There is where J'adaeza's birth into Staelufre became apparent. Though she may had been on the physical brink of death before, with Vilsewaen's help she finally accepted that she will never again be part of a tribe. And as the hermit accepted these two lost girls into his care, he gave to them his traditions and philosophies as well. So J'adaeza and J'adisa came to be known, respectively, as Staelufre Lysmerl and Siehrova Brynstymm. The women were encouraged to be free and study whatever pursuit came to their heart, while their new father ensured their welfare and ability to look after themselves. So they developed into two opposites. Where Staelufre was wild, Siehrova was patient: Where Staelufre learned and strengthened her body, Siehrova was curious and expanded her mind. The two were dawn and dusk, and they both loved Vilsewaen as if he were the sky itself.

:: The three were very happy for a long time. As was his nature, Vilsewaen would often leave the two to wander. Even attached to others, he was still a hermit at heart. But Staelufre and Siehrova did not seem to mind. Their growth became exponential as they explored the mountains of La Noscea, alone and away from any civilization. The two bonded until their differences expanded and then compounded, both taking pieces of each other until neither were sure which one began and the other ended. These are the happiest memories to Staelufre, with her ever-present sister and her wayward father. Each so dear to her that she would have rather died than be left without them in the world.

:: Eventually Staelufre and Siehrova left La Noscea. Vilsewaen went with them as far as the Shroud, and from there they wandered to Coerthas. The cold weather did not suit Siehrova, but the stars fascinated her sister. Staelufre had always been fascinated by stars and their clarity in these northern grounds stole her heart away. They wandered wherever they wished, though often returned to their "home" in the mountains.

====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#6B5344;">The Calamity</div>====

:: About four years before the Calamity fell, Vilsewaen took in another rogue soul. While Staelufre isn't sure where the old man found [[Renee Becquerel]] - who was then Renaud - he certainly came to become a large figurehead for the elezen. The then-named Wakkeyha Syngronn became Vilsewaen's apprentice. This excited the first time Staelufre ever felt jealousy in another person. She had always thought of her father as belonging to their family, and here was an interloper to steal Vilsewaen's time and ideals away from their already precious moments. It frustrated her, and she harbored equal envy that Renee had the Echo while she did not. So when the Garlean forces threatened their doorstep and Renee announced her leave, Staelufre was overjoyed... until Vilsewaen announced he was leaving as well.

:: She remained in the mountains of La Noscea until after Dalamud hit. Then she waited longer for Vilsewaen to return. Eventually, she became too anxious and left - parting with Siehrova for the first time in years. She traveled, seeing the cruelty and savagery that was brought on with total desolation. While uninterested in helping cities to rebuild and regrow, she did know that her skills as a hunter would do many well. So Staelufre took up many odd jobs, expanding her skills and honing her ability as a hunter to be met by the need and demand of others.

:: This continued until the ships were rebuilt and the island reconnected to the rest of Eorzea. Then Staelufre left, wanderlust unable to be sated. She continued to work as a hunter for hire for a small time, building a thin and unimportant network of people who knew her by face if not by name. She abandoned it, however, when Revenant's Toll was being formed. Instead she returned to Siehrova and two journeyed there, to a place where Siehrova's genius and thirsty for knowledge could be met on a frontier that would also excite her more than any dusty library. For a time, Staelufre remained in Mor Dhona withe her sister. She did little other than wander and explore, doting upon her other half until such time that she became too thirsty for the hunt again.

====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#6B5344;">Present</div>====

:: So she left. She regathered her structure of hunting for meager favors or bits of gil, for things that she could not make or find herself in the wild. This was when she came to find, from Vilsewaen, that the long-left apprentice Renee Becquerel had started a Free Company. While the name the Coral Sea was appeasing to her, what truly interested her was the name of their home. It was named in her honor, supposedly, and while her desire to be free and away from any form of civilization was strong... the compulsion to see such a strange thing was stronger. So Staelufre wandered for her first time into the Mist, and quickly became lost.

:: This was where she met [[L'aenoh Tia]]. Through a quick spiral of events, he introduced her to many others of the Coral Sea. Their relationship becoming something strong, she remained near to the Mist - begrudgingly - to also remain near him. Her first impression of the people was unpleasant. They commonly referred to her as "Zhen's replacement" or "stray", and it happened so often and with so much repetition she accepted it as the views of all those who lived within walls. Dejected and hurt by their actions and calloused attitudes, Staelufre withdrew even further from any want to be apart of the Coral Sea or its people.

:: It took much convincing and debate before L'aenoh was able to get Staelufre to join the Coral Sea's roster. She still argues that she's not properly a member. In her eyes, she has never been fully socially accepted. Yet she is officially documented in their applications, so is technically a member. Being with the Coral Sea has expanded those she met, as well, to most everyone that she currently knows. While she disappears for long times to hunt or do whatever else she wishes, she does commonly return to the Free Company house either for its luxuries or its company.

:: Even more recent, she's been traveling to the Goblet on a frequenct basis. There is a select few of people who have caught her interest, and that she's certain hold answers they may not be sure that they have. As ever, she has a habit of finding ill fortune and then diving into it even deeper.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #EB9F9F;font-size:14px;color:#6B5344;">Miscellaneous</div>===

* She has a habit of naming people, and will eagerly explain the names she's given and their meaning to great detail.

* Her favorite food is cake. Specifically rolanberry and chocolate flavored.

* Odds are, if someone's in good standing with her, she will do almost anything that they request of her.

* If you give her sweets, expect her to always look to you for more. (Don't feed stray cats, kids!)

* Some of her other names include:
:: J'adaeza Tyraka
:: Skaenliht Lysmerl
:: Klynskaet Lysmerl
:: Kleinstyr Lysmerl

: <font style="color:#F02311;" size="3">♥</font> <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[L'aenoh Tia]]: "Ganzjaega Riklifaeld" : A man she met in the Mist. Their beginnings were rather rough, though both held an attraction for the other since the moment they met. After some struggle with a rather cruel Keeper named Hnaba, they came together and bonded in a way neither expected. Ever since, the two have been inseparable. Staelufre has come to love him in true. She has no plans to deviate from his side, and goes to great lengths to ensure his safety. They were married on Feburary 28th.
: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Vilsewaen Steinhoh]]: Her father, her mentor, her brother. He is the person Staelufre respects the most in her life, and strives to be like. It is a constant disappointment to her that she cannot follow in his footsteps, or become precisely alike him. Almost everything she does is to give him pride and prove herself worthy in his eyes.
: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Siehrova Brynstymm]]: Her sister. Staelufre is wildly protective of her intelligent and kind kin. Their shared history has forged their bond into something that is unbreakable. She values Siehrova for her intelligence and quick wit, and admires her for being able to do so many things that she cannot even conceive possible. While her sister works on various projects in Mor Dhona, almost always consisting of magitek, Staelufre makes sure to provide her sister with every comfort and need she could ask for.
: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Renaud Becquerel]]: "Wakkeyha Syngronn" : Her brother, her rival. He is the apprentice of her father and his natural affinity to truth and ownership of the Echo has made Wakkeyha the favorite of Vilsewaen. In this, Staelufre is constantly jealous of him and irritated of his natural prowess with mysticism. She sees in him all the things she wishes she can be, and he is blissfully ignorant of such facts. His fawning and doting over Staelufre as his own sister only makes her feel guilty of this, and oddly endeared to the man she names brother.
: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Telos]]: "Guolstyrm Grymhoh" : Someone who holds the answers to many of her questions. He's treated her fairly, and kindly, and for this she holds to him a sense of loyalty. There's something that makes others frightened of him, but whatever wariness this caused has been abandoned. He has earned to her a place in her heart as an idol: Someone she is willing to follow without question and with idealistic devotion.
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Jancis Milburga]]: "Solkeim Brynroega" : Her friend. Jancis and she first met through L'aenoh, and the healer has proved nothing but kind and stalwart. Even in the heat of battle or its gross after-effects, the woman never seems to waver. Even in the grossest of situations, Jancis is a shining beacon for her to orient herself. Staelufre remains loyal to her, and has never had cause to question this. She plans to ever be.
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Ja'ren A'lenthin]]: "Arengybet Haerzhylt" : Their relationship begun on a rocky note. Miscommunication and estranged feelings made the two incapable of seeing eye-to-eye at first. Yet, when entrusting Ja'ren with a mysterious Void artefact, the two began a strange journey that solidified their friendship. Unexpected circumstances brought them even closer, and Ja'ren teaches her much of her magick and control over it. She ever admired Ja'ren, though also finds him foolish at times.
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Tiergan Vashir]]: "Wynztier Eifaufre" : A recent friend to Staelufre, but a strong one. Originally a strange man, she became endeared to him after a long talk about the Lotus. Some of his earnest personality began to shine, and with it Staelufre saw someone of noble heart. She has since followed him throughout much of Eorzea on bizarre adventures to save friends or return them home. Every time they speak, she finds her respect for him growing. And also a sister-like desire to scold him for so often succumbing to his emotions.
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Zaius Rhal'seer]]: "Doenruht Formnwust" : Staelufre's teacher. After Zaius insulted her mate by beating him in battle and tying him to a bed, she sought Zaius out to seek revenge. With original intentions of killing him, she was instead impressed by his technique and strength. After agreeing to teach her, and a couple lessons, she's come to trust the Keeper entirely. He shows to her an amount of care and yet willingness to let her learn. Because of that, she gives him an amount of blind faith many would advise against.
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Teld're Eska'aldren]]: "Myrganais Gesprheti" : The seer, as she called him, is a strange and recent friend. He is mercurial and ever-shifting. In just one sun, she saw many sides to the man and is fascinated by each of them. The curiosity likewise expands to his various mysteries and entanglements he's entered himself in. She has spent an increasing amount of time in his company and the company of his friends, and each moment has only made her loyalty to him grow. She is determined to be a stalwart friend at his side.
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[J'azhar Tia]]: "Blynulm Wakknberk" : Introduced to her through Sylas, the young member of Jackal tribe was originally supposed to be a source of information. He quickly charmed her not only with a sense of his kindness for their mutual friends, but also his innocent manner of speech. They spoke of not only the more grim things, but also of lighter topics that soon left her laughing and delighted. It seems their friend circles have merged, for which Staelufre is only thankful, as she's ultimately fond of J'azhar's fretting and warm personality.
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Aiouxdaux Beaumont]]: "Weichnsthal Merlnebel" : The dervish doctore was someone she first bonded with after a sparring bout that had left both of them nearly dead. She understands him rather well, despite knowing so little of him. She thinks him someone of great amusement and deadly skill, and so looks up to him quite a bit. He seems to have many heartaches, though they are not yet close enough for her to offer to help with them as much as she would wish.
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Mikh'a Elakha]]: "Saelbwaent Sylbtoum" : The gentle shadow was someone who first left his mark after healing her during her original spar with Aiouxdaux. The experience was a painful one, but after meeting a second and third time, he won her over with his quiet presence and gentle gestures. She is desperate to learn more of him, and to spend more time with someone she feels could earn her trust.
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Leanne Delphium]]: "Weinspaer" : The appointed "best friend". After having scolded Staelufre on ill social behavior, L'aenoh assigned the two of them to be friends from then on out. It's been somewhat uncertain ground, but the hat-clad woman is such a different presence that Staelufre help but agree she's fine friend material. Much is unknown about Leanne, though she manages to keep amusing Staelufre.
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Faolan Woodlock]]: "Nezelcwin" : A man she hardly knows. He smells of campfire smoke and forests. This initial impression leads Staelufre to wanting to know more. After recent events that led her to witness Faolan's way of healing, and the knowledge he witnessed Dhemgeim's death, she's only more intent on prying beneath that mask of his.
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[R'sass Thras]]: Her student. A young miqo'te whose tribe has disbanded, she was intent on learning to hunt. The reverence Sass has for her is baffling and, as she believes it, misguided. But it is still a pleasant and entertaining thing to teach another her methods of hunting.
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[R'ostam Tia]]: Relative to R'sass, Staelufre finds him hot-headed and brash. His silent behavior, she knows, is entirely a front for a confused and conflicted young man. She hopes to teach him a little of fighting, though also knows that she is by far the least capable of giving him what he needs to know to make a better life outside the tribe.
: <font style="color:#BEC3BC;" size="3">●</font> [[Memeli Meli]]: "Toffvann" : A powerful lalafell and magnificent braggart. She holds little respect for this person, but does recognize in her the potential to do much. They haven't shared much but in passing, though Memeli's ability to find trouble and also find her way out is always worthy of admiration.
: <font style="color:#BEC3BC;" size="3">●</font> [[Finecia Hawke]]: "Blahntrachyn" : A peculiar hyur. Staelufre does not trust Finecia in the way she would never fully trust a dragon. Though she wears her past plainly, there is always an uncertainty to what happening in Finecia's mind. She is, at least, a reliable healer.
: <font style="color:#BEC3BC;" size="3">●</font> [[R'lexia Thras]]: "Lihtleita" : A quiet miqo'te who has not revealed much about herself. While she is Finecia's mate, Staelufre is not yet sure of Lexia's mettle. She seems determined, but there is a weakness and hesitance in her actions that makes Staelufre wonder.
: <font style="color:#BEC3BC;" size="3">●</font> [[Chaska Dakwhil]]: "Tenkoeya" : Ja'ren's mate and a person Staelufre always wonders about. While mute, her wisdom and cunning is unprecedented. Or because it is because of her inability to talk that Chaska has a way of thinking unparalleled. Either way, Staelufre owes deep respect to Chaska, though knows the two of them are unlikely to ever become friends.
: <font style="color:#BEC3BC;" size="3">●</font> [[Franz Renatus]]: "Iyrnfystsyn" : After having dealt with an unpleasant elezen, the two came to a mutual understanding. She does not truly wonder after the man, but does at times wonder at his strength. He has, at the very least, the presence enough for her to take his word as truth.
: <font style="color:#BEC3BC;" size="3">●</font> [[Oscare Iono]]: "Blanabrenn" : Another she knows to be a Garlean. She does not particularly care for this dark-skinned hyur, but he has never done anything to upset her either. At best, she knows him as Jancis' friend.
: <font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font> [[Tausenadel Geispyrsyn]]: "Wybhaerz" : An officer of the Coral Sea. Upon their first meeting, he seemed kind enough, though at their second and every meeting after, he insists on calling her "Stray". Staelufre has expressed her displeasure with this sentiment, and refuses to forgive him for being unable to listen to her or respect her.
: <font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font> [[Sigurd Rainecourt]]: "Bremlohr" : A pitiful little hyur. His weakness makes her dislike and distaste for him very obvious. She thinks that it is a shame, for he has many strong allies, but will never reach to such heights himself.

</div>


<div align=justify><div style="padding: 10px 15px;">At least superficially, '''Renee Georgette Becquerel''' is an outgoing, outspoken woman defined by her passions and a nature that fits the mould of a bard and a patriotic Limsan to a near-ridiculous degree. With a carefully-crafted appearance and tendency for passionate displays that betray a deeply idealistic and romantic worldview, it can be easy enough to write her off as not just boisterous, but as a loud and even obnoxious extrovert with a quick wit and occasionally sharp tongue.

While hardly an act, her superficial appearance is just that. In private settings, something she values deeply, Renee's introversion and deliberative personality is far more apparent than first impressions might let on. Prone to introspective dwelling, Renee gives deep meaning to intimate relationships and, above all else, open honesty.

Many might know her as [[Renaud Becquerel|Renaud Georges Becquerel]], Captain of The Coral Sea and dedicated officer of the Maelstrom. Shortly after the death of his friend and First Mate, Dhemgeim Shyrdoenwyn, Renaud acquired a rare alchemical elixir and, quite simply, became a woman. Though at first it seemed to be something of a joke, for reasons Renee cagily refuses to divulge the details of, the change became more apparently permanent until he took on a new name, even if she did otherwise remain more or less exactly the same person but whatever changes brought on by Dhemgeim’s death.

Renee makes no bones about just how much she enjoys the varying reactions to her new appearance. While she considers herself a woman just as she previously considered herself a man, Renee believes herself to be the exact same person she's ever been and, if that's not true, then that any difference in her personality has nothing to do with her gender. As she and plenty of others have noticed, Renee is at least more or less the same person she has ever been, but the response to her as a woman both from those who knew her as Renaud and those who didn’t gives her ample opportunity to read the attitudes and intentions of others.<br>

<div align=center><div style="font-size:13px;"><table style="position:center;" width="90%">
<tr>
<td style="vertical-align: top;"><h3>
<div style="padding:10px 35px;background: #8C6170;font-size:16px;letter-spacing:0.2em;color:#ece8bd;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px #6f373a;"><center>LIKES</center></div></h3>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Honesty'''<br>
Above all else, Renee values honesty and lives a philosophy centred around the idea and ideal of its pursuit, dedicated to it to the point that she avoids actively deceiving others at all costs.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Music'''<br>
Not just a bard, but a Limsan and the child of a sailor, Renee generally prefers singing and harps as both make for easy travel. Rarely, she can be found wielding a fiddle.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Writing'''<br>
Believing herself partially responsible for the future of the bardic arts, Renee is a hoarder of fantastic-yet-true stories.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Woodworking'''<br>
An artefact of her time in the Shroud, Renee is a carpenter of considerable artistic talent and, upon returning to Limsa Lominsa, learned the skills of a shipwright.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Limsa Lominsa'''<br>
Patriotic nearly to a fault, Renee believes deeply in both the might and right of her homeland. She is deeply loyal to the thalassocracy, its Admiral, and the rule of law they represent.</div>
<td style="vertical-align: top;"><h3>
<div style="padding:10px 35px;background: #8C6170;font-size:16px;letter-spacing:0.2em;color:#ece8bd;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px #6f373a;"><center>DISLIKES</center></div></h3>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Dishonesty'''<br>
Be it people causing harm by lying to others or causing harm by lying to themselves, Renee openly dislikes people who live their lives without at least passing regard to the value of honesty.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Cowardice'''<br>
Renee will readily encourage people who can't fight for themselves to think of their own safety, but one of the easiest ways to lose her respect is to have the power to act and choose not to out of fear.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Selfishness'''<br>
Renee has no problem with self-interest and a desire for personal gain, but she draws a stark line with people who live their lives at the detriment of others.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Pirates'''<br>
Renee appreciates the history of piracy Limsa had to claw out of and is openly hostile to people who romanticise it and worse to those who would try to bring it back.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Racism'''<br>
Between being an adventurer and having grown up in a city with few Elezen, Renee has little tolerance for those with little tolerance.</div>
<td style="vertical-align: top;"><h3>
<div style="padding:10px 35px;background: #8C6170;font-size:16px;letter-spacing:0.2em;color:#ece8bd;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px #6f373a;"><center>MOTIVATION</center></div></h3>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Security'''<br>
The Becquerels are a family of the dead and dying and Renee's own life has been defined by a great deal of aimlessness. She eagerly seeks to have a place of her own, both literal and figurative, where she can settle down to a peaceful, prosperous life.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Redemption'''<br>
Renee walks around with her fair share of regrets for decisions made in the past. While she's emotionally balanced enough they don't bog her down, she has an inherent desire to prove to herself that she is, in fact, a truly worthwhile person.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Love'''<br>
A passionate idealist, Renee's a true romantic and values love as not just the gratification of another, but an ideal truly worthy of earnest pursuit. She cares about loving and earning the love of those she cares about.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Self-Control'''<br>
As something she once had a desperate lack of, Renee puts a great deal of weight on self-control and maintaining it within reason, but that doesn't mean she doesn't enjoy life. Renee eagerly seeks a life of...</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Hedonism'''<br>
A trait she's always had and, for a time, suffered for. Whether she's an earnest and passionate bon vivant or a demented and mentally-unwell lecher might be up for debate, but Renee values the chance to live her life well and share the pleasures of that life with others.</div>
<td style="vertical-align: top;"><h3>
<div style="padding:10px 35px;background: #8C6170;font-size:16px;letter-spacing:0.2em;color:#ece8bd;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px #6f373a;"><center>STRENGTHS</center></div></h3>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Tenacious'''<br>
A quality that's defined much of her later life and earned her standing in the Maelstrom. Renee is deliberate about when she engages in conflict, but when she does, she draws stark lines and is willing, if not always eager, to make decisions, come what consequences may.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Loyal'''<br>
Though she tries to be at least genial with most everyone she meets, Renee rarely gives others the benefit of her intensely trusting loyalty. To those she does, it is an earnest bond and one that is desperately hard to break and rarely broken without dire cost.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Passionate'''<br>
When anyone or anything manages to gain her true affections, Renee's overwhelming earnestness is either an incredible boon or a terribly obnoxious problem. This is especially the case with people she believes need her protection, guidance, or otherwise meddling.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Intelligent'''<br>
Being quick-witted and well-educated makes Renee a strong thinker with a tendency to delve into the philosophical. On the battlefield, Renee is a deliberate tactician who rarely leaps into a fray without a well-formed and flexible plan.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Socially Deft'''<br>
If nothing else and when it doesn't violate her devotion to an honest life, Renee is capable of practised social grace and considerable charisma or, failing that, considerable superficial charm.</div>
<td style="vertical-align: top;"><h3>
<div style="padding:10px 35px;background: #8C6170;font-size:16px;letter-spacing:0.2em;color:#ece8bd;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px #6f373a;"><center>WEAKNESSES</center></div></h3>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Prideful'''<br>
For better or worse and often worse, Renee believes herself inherently better than most people. While she has her talents and usually keeps this fault in check, it is entirely possible for her self-righteous habits to come through and rarely do they do so in a way that inspires more confidence than aggravation in others.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Meddling'''<br>
While it might be born out of caring for people, Renee has a terrible and terribly obnoxious habit of meddling in the lives of those she feels a combination of worthy, interesting, and needy.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Jealous'''<br>
Renee's jealousy goes hand-in-hand with her deep trust. She's protective of what and who she considers hers and, for how much she cares about loving and being loved, fears the loss of those very loved ones.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Occasionally Tactless'''<br>
Appreciating open honesty has its downsides. While rarely oafish, Renee tires quickly of showing "unnecessary" grace to people she considers fools and will gladly deliver hard, honest truths just to be done with a frustrating issue. This rarely actually makes anything better.</div>
<div><font style="color:#8f827a;">■</font> '''Introspective'''<br>
Being aware of this fault, she seeks the company of those she has some intimate connection with, but her pride often gets the best of her and causes her to fail to fully divulge in just what way she's suffering. When this happens, she tends to pull away from people, dwell on her discomfort, and succumb to a grim moodiness.</div>
<td style="vertical-align: top;"><h3>
<div style="padding:10px 35px;background: #8C6170;font-size:16px;letter-spacing:0.2em;color:#ece8bd;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px #6f373a;"><center>QUIRKS</center></div></h3>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''"Flowery"'''<br>
From ornate speaking habits, to wild gestures of her hands, and to how she dresses, Renee is especially showy. Whether or not it's ridiculous ostentation or simply a genuine love of theatrics is impossible to tell for sure, but it's a presentation she lowers only when matters require she dial herself down from a solid 11.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Intensely Spiritual'''<br>
Much of Renee's adult life has been defined by the spiritual and it shows. She measures problems in equal parts between mortal concerns and those of a "higher" nature. An experience with either death or near-death only intensified this.</div>
<div><font style="color:#7e7b79;">■</font> '''Handsy'''<br>
There's a point between "fond acquaintance" and "dear friend" where Renee becomes really quite uncomfortable and cares little for personal space.</div>

<div align=center><div style="padding:10px 0px; background: #5a1d33;font-size:20px;color:#ece8bd;letter-spacing:0.2em;text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px #6f373a;font-weight:bold;">APPEARANCE</div></div>
<div style="float:left;margin:15px;border:1px solid #180618;width:300px;background:#ece8bd;">
<div align=center><div style="height:425px;width:300px;">[[File:Renee_Appearance.png]]</div></div></div>
<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 15px;">By common standards, Renee makes for a lovely woman. At six fulms, one ilm, she isn't terribly tall for an Elezen woman and sports a full figure with a layer of softness that adds plenty of shapeliness over the muscle one would expect from a well-travelled adventurer. For a Wildwood, her skin has a conspicuous natural darkness with just enough of a muted duskiness beneath it to suggest her mixed heritage. Adding to the case is her dark hair, almost entirely devoid of colour but for the faintest hint of a deep brown in just the right light.

Her features run a little long with angular cheekbones framing a chiselled and rather prominent nose. Her sharp, cunning eyes are mismatched; one a dark green, the other a bronze brown and sit beneath a sharp brow, often in the earliest stages of a wolfish grin, crooked to match her lips with dark lipstick usually making them look fuller than their actually-average lushness. Conspicuously new and a style adopted from a friend, a beauty mark draws attention to the right corner of her mouth.

Renee's sense in fashion occasionally nears the elegant but more often dives deep into the showy and downright extravagant. Sweeping coats, contrasting colours, deep necks, and ample jewellery make picking her out of a crowd an easy task. The same care for her physical appearance carries over to her grooming as she obviously pays meticulous attention to her hair, skin, and nails keeping them all in the best condition one could reasonably expect from an adventurer. Usually lingering around her is the scent of floral perfume, moisturising oils, and a faint hint of fragrant tobacco, making her presence just that much more obnoxious.

Some might rightly accuse her of vanity, but Renee is always eager to point out just how few complaints about her vanity were levelled when she was not Renee but Renaud.

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 10px 15px;">Like many adventurers and, ideally, all officers of the Maelstrom, Renee is a deadly combatant. Skilled with a bow, Renee is remarkably talented without mention of her abilities as a bard. While she has cursory training in other weapons, particularly the axe, Renee's true mastery is the bow and it is one she will eagerly rely on given the choice to do so. What sets her apart as a combatant is a well-trained focused calm. In a fight, Renee eschews anger, instead focusing with lethal intent on the task of overwhelming her opponent and ideally ending any fight she's been forced into as quickly as possible.

In terms of both her abilities in combat and her general personality, Renee does not take well to light scraps or, in fact, "honourable" combat. Renee relies on stealth, the element of surprise, and brutal efficiency to assure victory which goes a long way to explaining just why she so eagerly avoids physical violence until absolutely necessary.</div></div>

For obvious reasons, much of Renee's life is defined by her life as Renaud. Both by force and by choice, Renee has travelled across much of Eorzea, leaving a mark of some kind everywhere she's gone. Though in her youth in Limsa Lominsa, she might not have distinguished herself as entirely upstanding, her adult life has in large part been lived to make up for those mistakes of the past. Likely chief among that effort to make up for her past has been learning to cope with the issue of "overheated humours" that wound up driving her out of Limsa Lominsa. This desire for a kind of redemption has driven Renee to hold herself to the high standard that has defined her adult life, especially recently.

Though well-travelled, the most likely place anyone who hasn't met her on a particularly infamous excursion would know Renee from, either as Renee or Renaud, would be from Limsa Lominsa in the years surrounding the Calamity or Gridania nine years before it. Renee has hunted pirates and Garleans alike, slain primals, and distinguished herself as both an officer of the Maelstrom and, more recently, an adventurer.

<div style="padding:10px 0px 0px 10px; font-size:18px;color:#6f373a;text-shadow: 1px 1px 1px #dddddd;font-weight:bold;">Youth in Limsa Lominsa</div>
: <div><font style="color:#585350;" size="2">■</font> '''1542''': Born on the 10th Sun, 5th Umbral Moon to Georgette Friloux and Beauvissoix Becquerel in Limsa Lominsa, something Renee knows nothing about. Later named Renaud Georges Becquerel, he is raised by Beauvissoix Becquerel and his wife, Vivienne. Georgette remains a family friend to Beauvissoix and Vivienne, the latter having been unable to conceive a child of her own.</div>

: <div><font style="color:#585350;" size="2">■</font> '''1542-1559''': Renaud lives with his parents, getting a solid education in maritime skills from reading and writing to the advanced mathematics necessary for cartography and navigation and even military and naval strategy. He shows a knack for sailing and even occasionally serves as a deck boy aboard a ship of which his mother is the cartographer, The Coral Sea.</div>

: <div><font style="color:#585350;" size="2">■</font> '''1559-1563''': Gawky Elezen or not, Renaud starts really coming into his own as a young man. As he gets older, Renaud develops an issue with sex addiction and, between his good reputation and relative charm, gets himself into no end of trouble. Among his saving graces, aside from dumb luck, is the Muse, a brothel operated by a family friend (and still unknown to him, his biological mother), Georgette Friloux. At the Muse, Renaud works through some of his pent-up needs and stays out of at least the worst kind of trouble, but it doesn't last.</div>

: <div><font style="color:#585350;" size="2">■</font> '''1563''': Renaud makes his way into a relationship with a young Roegadyn woman and the two have a passionate, if secretive affair. At the height of this relationship, the pair actually consider running away together but are caught in the act by the young woman's father. At this point, Renaud, now a known womaniser and deviant, is summarily beaten and more or less told to leave Limsa under considerable threat to his safety. Renaud relents and, at the behest of his concerned parents, leaves for Gridania to live with his only other living relative, his grandmother.</div>

<div style="padding:10px 0px 0px 10px; font-size:18px;color:#6f373a;text-shadow: 1px 1px 1px #dddddd;font-weight:bold;">Gridania and Oliviette Becquerel</div>
: <div><font style="color:#585350;" size="2">■</font> '''1563''': Gridania does not agree with Renaud in the least and the feeling is very much mutual. As a boisterous, outspoken Limsan with skin a little too dark to be a pure Wildwood, Renaud's experience of Gridanian culture is even more defined by xenophobia, coldness, and an open loathing of outsiders than usual. Still, Oliviette, his grandmother, demands he make something of himself more worthy than a disgraced pervert. Renaud takes up work as an apprentice carpenter and begins honing his skills with a bow.</div>

: <div><font style="color:#585350;" size="2">■</font> '''1565-1668''': Renaud comes into his own as a carpenter and a bowman. The former is much more his official line of work while his work as a bowman mostly comes in the form of provided an extra hand with the Gods' Bow when foreign adventurers prove a little too unreliable. While never really enjoying the full respect of a non-outsider, Renaud learns to grudgingly tolerate what he sees as deep flaws in Gridanian culture. During this time, Renaud develops a sense of self-control and restraint over his issues involving sex. While the addiction is never really "cured", Renaud at least learns how to manage it.</div>

: <div><font style="color:#585350;" size="2">■</font> '''1568''': Now a talented carpenter and archer, Gridania finally begins to grate on Renaud more than he's willing to tolerate. Renaud decides to follow in his father's path and take to the road, but it's a road that inevitably leads him back to his native Vylbrand.</div>

<div style="padding:10px 0px 0px 10px; font-size:18px;color:#6f373a;text-shadow: 1px 1px 1px #dddddd;font-weight:bold;">Return to Vylbrand</div>
: <div><font style="color:#585350;" size="2">■</font> '''1568-1572''': After a relatively short journey across Eorzea, Renaud arrives in Vylbrand. Many of the errors in his past have been grudgingly forgiven, if not forgotten, with time. While still not an adventurer outright, Renaud travels around Vylbrand and eventually encounters a mountain hermit and his "daughter", [[Vilsewaen Steinhoh]] and [[Staelufre Lysmerl]]. Renaud develops a relationship with the two, coming under the tutelage of Vilsewaen's philosophy, one that advocates a life lived in pursuit of truth as an ideal and higher calling. Renaud continues his travels of Vylbrand, but never strays too far from these newfound friends who quickly become a kind of family.</div>

: <div><font style="color:#585350;" size="2">■</font> '''1572''': As the war with the Garleans reaches a fever pitch, both Renaud and Vilsewaen leave the relative safety of the north to assist with the Maelstrom's efforts with Renaud actually joining the ranks proper. By the time the battle lines are drawn and the war reaches its climax at Carteneau, Renaud is wounded and unable to assist in the fight. Vilsewaen Steinhoh is among those soldiers who flee the massacre. Beauvissoix and Vivienne Becquerel, however, are not so fortunate and are slain by Garlean forces before the true horror of Carteneau and the ensuing Calamity is unleashed on the realm.</div>

<div style="padding:10px 0px 0px 10px; font-size:18px;color:#6f373a;text-shadow: 1px 1px 1px #dddddd;font-weight:bold;">The Maelstrom</div>
: <div><font style="color:#585350;" size="2">■</font> '''00''': While Renaud, along with many others now returning from Carteneau, recovered from his injuries the news of his parents' deaths hit him understandably hard. Still, he mourned, he prayed for their peace, and he moved on. The horrors of the Calamity meant almost every single Eorzean was in a state of mourning, which made it hard to dwell on one's personal losses. The loss of his parents instilled in Renaud a new sense of direction, a motivation to fulfil the potential in himself and in his family line. Once he was fit to serve again, Renaud threw himself into his service with the Maelstrom.</div>

: <div><font style="color:#585350;" size="2">■</font> '''00-04 (1572-1576)''': With his unit in the Maelstrom, Renaud scours northern Vylbrand for pirate activity, purging natural harbours of threats to the thalassocracy. An outspoken patriot and loyal serviceman, Renaud quickly distinguishes himself and rises through the ranks. Without a doubt, Renaud is on the career path. Renaud maintains his focus on his spiritual life, maintaining a connection to the world and developing a vision of the future he truly believes worth fighting for. At some time during his most direct service to the Maelstrom, Renaud awakens to the Echo, something he does publicly discuss to the present day.</div>

: <div><font style="color:#585350;" size="2">■</font> '''04 (1576)''': A fellow member of Renaud's unit, Valenor Ashmoon, is gravely wounded and the group returns to Limsa Lominsa to resupply and send Valenor home. During his leave, Renaud learns of a coming opportunity, a new initiative in the Maelstrom (along with the other grand companies). The regrowing numbers of adventurers will be offered greater access to grand company resources and be able to gain rank and, simultaneously, certain officers can be allowed freer reign over their operations, functionally becoming adventurers as well. As Chief Storm Sergeant, Renaud leaps on this opportunity, seeing it as a way to achieve his greater goals in service not just to Limsa, but to all Eorzea. He hires the recouperating Valenor Ashmoon as his seneschal, a personal assistant, as Ashmoon is too hobbled by his injures to take on physical labour, much less adventuring.</div>

: <div><font style="color:#585350;" size="2">■</font> '''05 (1577)''': Now starting to work as an adventurer in earnest, Renaud finds a friend in another wandering Miqo'te, T'xidh Tyraka. T'xidh is herself an earnest, philosophising sort with high-minded ideals and is inspired by Renaud's outspoken goal of "igniting the kindling spirit of Eorzea as an example to all Hydaelyn." In their back-and-forth discussions, the idea of a free company motivated by their goals takes shape, as an homage, Renaud names the newly-founded company after the ship his mother served on which sank somewhere in the Rhotano some years prior, The Coral Sea. At some point after The Coral Sea's founding, T'xidh is called away to a group of refugees she'd previously helped, she disappears and is, moons later, presumed dead.</div>

: <div><font style="color:#585350;" size="2">■</font> '''Late 05 (1577)''': The Coral Sea is a swiftly-growing, healthy organisation. Many of its original, high-minded goals have been eschewed in favour of something far less martial and something far more familial. By now, Renaud is a well-known figure among his peers in the Maelstrom and is a proper Storm Lieutenant to boot. With The Coral Sea demanding less of his focus as a military leader, Renaud turns his attention to his friend, Dhemgeim Shyrdoenwyn, his First Mate and Sentinel of The Coral Sea. Seeking to draw attention to her alcoholism and unbridled rage, Renaud instigates a training duel with her. A superior combatant with a sword, if blunted by her rage, Dhemgeim overwhelms Renaud, crushing his armour and driving her sword through his chest, all but slaying the man. Renaud spends moons recovering from his dire wounds and sees his incredibly fortunate survival as a product of not just talented healing, but the spiritual strength he's cultivated over the years. This experience with near-death (or actual death, as Renaud sees it) leaves him with considerably stronger convictions and a thick scar beneath his collarbone.</div>

<div style="padding:10px 0px 0px 10px; font-size:18px;color:#6f373a;text-shadow: 1px 1px 1px #dddddd;font-weight:bold;">Renee Becquerel</div>
: <div><font style="color:#585350;" size="2">■</font> '''06 (1578)''': A long-term ramification of The Coral Sea's combating either a or the Siren, Dhemgeim Shyrdoenwyn begins to succumb to aether sickness caused by exposure to a fragment of the Siren's harp. Renaud takes an intense personal interest in the unfolding horror, desperate to save his friend, especially after she struggled to reclaim her life from alcoholism. Through a convoluted series of events, Dhemgeim dies a torturous death as a result of a botched attempt to heal her with unknown magicks prepared by someone who failed to follow his direct orders. Though he puts forward the front of a stalwart, trained Captain, such a horrific loss clearly devastates Renaud.</div>

: <div><font style="color:#585350;" size="2">■</font> '''06 (1578)''': A few weeks after Dhemgeim's death at a ladies party hosted by Memeli Meli, Renaud, still in grieving, decides to lighten the mood and keep tabs on his company's morale by acquiring an elixir of fantasia and arrives very much as himself... Just as a woman. The reaction to his transformation has the intended result of providing a distraction for others but less intended is the distraction it provides to himself. While Renaud doesn't blame himself for Dhemgeim's death, he sees it as a result of his orders or at least those orders failing to be followed, he views her death as his responsibility. This combination of grief and the guilt that comes with the responsibility of command leaves Renaud, for the first time, incredibly uncomfortable in his own skin. The opportunity to be someone else without ''actually'' being someone else gives Renaud the chance he needs to heal and grow from the experience. Over time, the change becomes more apparently permanent, both to those around him and himself until culminating in the realisation that he is indeed not quite the same person and decides to live his life as it is now. She takes on the name Renee Georgette Becquerel, not wishing to give up her old name entirely, and going on being more or less the exact same person she ever was.</div>

: <div>Of course, when directly asked about this, Renee will either dodge the question or give a technically true answer and cite the original reason for the change, meeting the "dress code" of Memeli Meli's party.</div>

<div><font style="color:#b3aba6;">■</font> “Aye, Becquerel? I knew that gawky shite a good epoch back. More charm than wits with that one, got run out of Limsa after years of chasing women and laying with the wrong fathers' daughters. Got that 'appetite' under control well enough now, though.”<br>

<div><font style="color:#b3aba6;">■</font> “Captain Becquerel's a fine officer, certainly, but uh...

Well, yes, very loyal!”<br>

<div><font style="color:#b3aba6;">■</font> “She's a fine enough woman, isn't she? But she's ''not'', though. I knew that Becquerel back when he was still Renaud, oh was he a charmer and he had hands like you wouldn't believe... Not right though, is it? Nobody who loves themselves that much changes like that for nothing. Damned suspicious, if you ask me.”<br>

<div><font style="color:#b3aba6;">■</font> “Don't rightly know why she's in the Maelstrom. See this bow? It's a genuine Becquerel! Sold it to me herself, 'patriot's discount' she said! Hells, I beat a half-dead fishback the rest of the way with the damned thing and it still works a treat! Can't tell you what she learned in Gridania, but be damned if Limsa don't need more woodworkers of her grade.”<br>

<div><font style="color:#948d8a;">■</font> “Becquerel? I worked with him or, rather, ''her'' isn't it now? Certainly fine work from an outsider and a good deal more trustworthy than a lot of adventurers before the Calamity, if not quite as skilled. Really thought they were going to settle down and stay, join up with the Gods' Quiver. Good sort, they are, if a bit brutal. 'Tis rare to see an outsider hunt the Coerlclaw so viciously. Suppose fear's a good a tactic as any.”<br>

<div><font style="color:#948d8a;">■</font> “Madame Becquerel? I repaired her roof, you know. The woman's an absolute terror, even if she is every bit of a hundred years old. Suppose that's Ishgardians for you, isn't it? Even when they leave the place for good, they take a little bit of it with them, don't they? Related to those weird Valentione folk as I hear it told! Wait, you mean her grandchild? Hells, don't much know them.”<br>

<div><font style="color:#706b68;">■</font> “I knew Vivienne and Beauvissoix, Thal keep them, lovely folk they were, died fighting at Carteneau. But their child? Could've come from Vivienne's stock, sure enough, she was a bit of a mix herself, but I knew her damned well and she was barren, couldn't conceive. Now I don't know many dark-skinned Elezen Beauvissoix was close to, but I do know a certain brothel owner who was friend to both of them.”<br>

<div><font style="color:#706b68;">■</font> “Captain Becquerel's a good officer, certainly, and a fine example of why we let our officers have such free reign, but she's not nearly as smooth as that grin of hers would have you think. After what happened with Shyrdoenwyn, Becquerel nearly getting done in by his own first mate... The man was ''dead'', let me tell you. You don't bleed that much and live. He got back on his feet, sure enough, but you spend that many moons having to work just to breathe while putting that much into trying to fix your First Mate? Little wonder he took it so hard when she died. I'm damned surprised he didn't break down more than he did. I probably wouldn't be able to look myself in the mirror either, but then...

<div style="margin-top:-20px;font-size:14px;">
: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Rinhilda Stonebreaker]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#F02311;" size="2">♥</font> <font style="color:#533A8E;" size="2">♥</font> ''')</div>
: <div>Rinhilda represents the stable, reliable life Renee wants for herself in the long-term. Their relationship started around doing light adventuring work together, but as Rinhilda left the lifestyle of adventuring, Renee started getting an idea of just what it means to live a more "normal" life.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Staelufre Lysmerl]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="2">♥</font> <font style="color:#533A8E;" size="2">♥</font> ''')'''</div>
: <div>Staelufre is one of the one of the first people Renee consistently travelled with and fought alongside as an actual partner. Renee very much views their relationship as familial and grants the Miqo'te no small amount of leeway. In spite of whatever Staelufre may see Renee as, Renee sees Staelufre as a peer and a dear friend.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Vilsewaen Steinhoh]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="2">♥</font> ''')'''</div>
: <div>Unlike Staelufre, Renee does not view Vilsewaen as a parental figure but a mentor and a friend. Through Vilsewaen, Renee's already spiritual view of the world deepened and developed into an appreciation of nobler callings than simple security.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Dhemgeim Shyrdoenwyn]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="2">♥</font> <font style="color:#533A8E;" size="2">♥</font> ''')'''</div>
: <div> Dhemgeim was a friend and a catalyst for an immense about of change in Renee's life, including the most obvious one. Though they were wildly different people, Renee viewed their lives as oddly similar, capable of great potential but hampered by deep flaws. It was Renee's experience with Dhemgeim, both in life and in death, that turned her desire to enable the potential of others into a more nurturing and even parental desire to protect the good in others.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Giselle Friloux]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#6B8E23;" size="2">✔</font> <font style="color:#533A8E;" size="2">♥</font> ''')'''</div>
: <div>Given their almost unseemly similarities, Giselle and Renee made fast friends with one-another. The two have an odd connection through Giselle's mother, Georgette, but met and became friends independently, though their mutual appreciate for the Muse - Georgette's brothel - hastened the growth of their friendship. The bizarre similarities between Renee and Giselle are a frequent subject of discussion and humour, but they write off these similarities as coincidence. They are, in fact, complete idiots.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Annaliese Sellecere]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#6B8E23;" size="2">✔</font> <font style="color:#533A8E;" size="2">♥</font> ''')'''</div>
: <div>Met through Giselle, Renee appreciates Annaliese's more serious attitude and appreciates even more that attitude doesn't go far enough to become sour and unpleasant. Between Giselle and Annaliese, Renee has the feeling of actually belonging to a relatively normal social group, even if most of what they do together is smoke, gossip, and meddle in the lives of people who don't want them meddling in their lives.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Reinette Sompt]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#6B8E23;" size="2">✔</font>/<font style="color:#F02311;" size="2">♥</font> <font style="color:#533A8E;" size="2">♥</font> ''')'''</div>
: <div>Reinette is an excellent example of the kind of person Renee believes truly "worthy" of her often obnoxious meddling. Now Reinette's First Mate and Practitioner to The Coral Sea, Renee has taken it upon herself to do what she can to improve Reinette's lot in life and help the woman see what Renee believes to be the immense good in herself.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Tausenadel Geispsyrsyn]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#6B8E23;" size="2">✔</font> ''')'''</div>
: <div>An officer of The Coral Sea and someone Renee considers a friend. Renee appreciates Tausenadel's more "sensitive" approach to things and generally tender heart, though it may not always be entirely obvious to him. She's come to show him considerably more patience after the death of his wife, Dhemgeim Shyrdoenwyn, fully aware of the immense pain he undoubtedly suffers for it.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[L'aenoh Tia]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#6B8E23;" size="2">✔</font> ''')'''</div>
: <div>An officer of The Coral Sea and a friend. Given his "unique" personality, Renee choosing L'aenoh as an officer lead to some consternation with certain members of the company, but it was a decision Renee has been glad to see validated by a stalwart and surprisingly reliable companion.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Leanne Delphium]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#6B8E23;" size="2">✔</font> ''')'''</div>
: <div>Leanne is a target of Renee and Giselle's meddling. Renee can't help but appreciate how well the Miqo'te handles the undoubtedly irksome attention and is generally graceful in her dealings with others, obnoxious, meddlesome Elezen or otherwise.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Jancis Milburga]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#6B8E23;" size="2">✔</font> <font style="color:#533A8E;" size="2">♥</font> ''')'''</div>
: <div>Renee appreciates Jancis' seemingly unflinching grace as a diplomat and views her as an almost aspirational figure as Renee believes her to be someone considerably more "normal" than herself while still being uniquely decent.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Trisselle Ganathain]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#6B8E23;" size="2">✔</font>/<font style="color:#F02311;" size="2">♥</font> <font style="color:#533A8E;" size="2">♥</font> ''')'''</div>
: <div>Like Reinette, Trisselle is someone Renee sees enormous potential in, if potential threatened by flaws that may well overwhelm that precious good. Renee enjoys Trisselle's company for the sake of her odd brand of innocence and an almost ridiculously earnest, romantic view of the world.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Georgette Friloux]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#6B8E23;" size="2">✔</font> <font style="color:#533A8E;" size="2">♥</font> ''')'''</div>
: <div>Renee deeply values everything Georgette did for her in her youth as Renaud. Georgette and the Muse provided Renee a healthy, or at least non-destructive, outlet for what was almost certainly a form of addiction. For better or worse, Renee almost sees Georgette as a role model, an intelligent and generally shrewd woman who knows well how to guard what is hers, whatever her motivations might be.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Memeli Meli]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#6B8E23;" size="2">✔</font> ''')'''</div>
: <div>Though some might see Memeli as worryingly "eccentric", Renee sees her as surprisingly intelligent, cunning, and somehow oddly compassionate. Renee believes she and Memeli share certain traits on a superficial level, but the exact extent of those traits is so different that their differences contrast and complement one-another for the better.</div>

: <div>'''<font style="font-variant:small-caps;">[[Sigurd Rainecourt]]</font>''' '''(''' <font style="color:#C24640;" size="2">✖</font> ''')'''</div>
: <div>There is likely no one so low in Renee's opinion who is actually alive. Renee believes Sigurd personally responsible for Dhemgheim Shyrdoenwyn's death and, by sheer virtue of the fact Renee could not bring herself to condemn Sigurd to the Ossuary for wielding unknown magic, declared Sigurd's fault to be one of incompetence, effectively giving him the gift of pardon for killing Dhemgeim.</div>
