=== General ===

'''Lilithium Altair (Lil-ith-ium Ah-l-tair) '''is a older Hyur midlander who is often seen in and around Ul'dah and various other parts of Eorzea. Her maternal nature and affectionate disposition leaves her well liked by most who come across her. Widowed three years before the Calamity and with her three children all grown and out of the house as of roughly a year ago, Lili finds that she's able to focus on herself and her own happiness for the first time since her teens. It's left her with many doorways of oppurtunity to choose from, some full of light and adventure while others harbor a darker purpose...

Recently, she has become the owner of a staffing company known as the Free Wing Society and adopted a little boy named Adokenai. On top of that, she has opened her heart that led to avenues she never dared dream were possible. She currently has a mate/fiance (C'kayah Tia), and has been pursuing various interests that range from people to books to trying her hand at the aetheric arts.

'''Note: Lili is able to see the aether of various individuals she meets. They manifest as light and colors, and I will sometimes whisper people OOC to determine what their aether is like so Lili can react or adjust accordingly.'''

=== Appearance ===

[[File:LiliSelf.png|none|LiliSelf.png]]

Standing at 5 fulm and 4 ilm, Lili is used to seeing the world from the shorter side of things. She used to wear her pale blonde hair long and nearly to her elbows, but almost two moons ago she chopped it rather short. Recently, she's grown it out again. Her eyes are very light green with a silvery cast to the color to give it an odd shimmering quality. While her features deceive others of her true age, she bares what marks she has with pride: Some crows feet at the corner of her eyes that show when she laughs, and similar lines at the corner of her lips that only start to show when she is smiling broadly. Having bared three children (two of which were twins), she was left with rather shapely hips and added curves that she had not possessed in her youth. One of the physical features most noticed by some who meet Lili is her rather large bust despite her small size. It usually causes her a myriad of problems, as some of her shorter Miqo'te friends and Lalafell companions sometimes get suffocated when she hugs them. The rest of her is well toned from the muscle and strenght it takes to wield her axe and fist weapons, and sunkissed from her years by the shores of Limsa or the sands of Ul'dah.

=== Behavior ===

Having gotten pregnant at fourteen and raising or looking after her children and those of others left Lili with a maternal nature that has been driven down to the core of her very being. She tends to look out for those around her, especially those that she feels a soft spot for, or those around her children's age (teens to early twenties range). Though this maternal drive of hers doesn't make her a pushover in the least, as it is possible to ignite her ire with the right buttons being pushed. Over all, she's calm and even tempered and usually the voice of reason for those around her. Ever one to play devil's advocate.

== Combat ==

=== General ===

Lili hasn't had much of a need to show her skills publically, but in the few times she's sparred with friends she's shown a great aptitude for a martial arts style of combat. Her fists, being her primary weapon, are usually not the thing to worry about. They sometimes serve as a mere distraction for her rather powerful legs to catch someone off guard. When she does happen to use her axe, it's an interesting sight since some of the weaponry are almost as big as she is. Yet she yields them with ease, using all her force with each blow. She fights with a certain level of honor, though if the situation should call for it she won't be afraid to play dirty.

=== Family ===

●Ghislan Nightwing (deceased): Lili's late husband who went MIA during an assignment against the Garleans. After no body being found over the last near decade he's been gone, everyone has safely assumed he is dead and Lili no longer mourns her first and only true love. He was also of Ala Mhigan descent and large for a Highlander (7 fulms).

''●''[[Adokenai Kodomo]]: A young Lalachild who Lili met at the Quicksand one day. Since meeting, Lili had adopted the little boy as her own. He even calls her 'Mom' regularly, and comes running to her whenever he sees her. Usually when seen together, the little boy is being held by his new mother or playing around some where near by.

''●''Khavan Nightwing: Lili's oldest child and oldest son. At nineteen years of age, nearing twenty, Khavan is engaged to a male elezen and usually bothers Lili for wedding preperation.

''●''Sarameda Silverlark: Youngest twin daughter of Lilithium Altair and Amore Silverlark.

''●''Deisarameda Silverlark: Oldest twin daughter of Lilithium Altair and Amore Silverlark.

●Rahsha Altair: A Sunseeker miqo'te that Lili's parents found when Lili was only five. Abandoned on a supply ship, no one knows her tribal origin and could never relocate birth parents. Rahsha and Lili grew apart after Lili left home, and now the two rarely see one another. A short time ago she learned what hand Rahsha had to play in the death of their parents, and while it's helped Lili understand her adopted sister more, it still hasn't mended the bridge between them.

''●''Andromeda and Reiko Altair (deceased): Lili's parents died shortly after the twins were born in a simple but tragic fire. Both were botanists who were unmatched in their knowledge of the land and its bountiful treasures.

=== Other Relationships ===

''●''[[Aedan Mathis]]: On her way to gather herbs in the Sylphlands, she came across a Hyur slumped over his faithful chocobo. Bloodied and unconscious, Lili took him to the nearby Sanctum of the Twelve and managed to save his life. While the two aren't in close contact, she sees him sporadically and keep in the back of her mind his offer to look after her children as a way of thanks for her helping him.

''●''[[Aya Foxheart]]: The Quicksand's favorite barmaid, Lili worked alongside C'kayah to help Aya with some personal problems, and offered the woman multiple safe places to hide away at should she had needed it. Afterwards, she hasn't seen much of her, though that hasn't stopped the affection she began to feel towards the woman.

''●''[[Azeiox Nelles]]: An elezen Lili met one day at the Quicksand who always seems to be looking out for her son and letting him right on his shoulder without batting an eye. Intimidating at first, she later found his more quiet nature to be comforting and enjoys spending time with him when she can. The nature of their relationship to outsiders appears friendly, though if there is anything else going on they certainly don't show it. In private they made the decision to become lovers, though the relationship never went very far and overall they are good friends.

●[[Chokho Viqqoh]]: A Keeper woman Lili met at the fishfry event the Society put on, she flirted rather heavily with Lili and even poured a cup of water on her to see her wet in her bikkini. They met up later when they found out they were neighbors, and have started a comfortable friendship. Chokho has made her attraction known, and Lili returned the sentiment. Their lives keep them busy and often apart, though they make time to spend with one another when they can. With the passage of weeks Lili's affections have softened, though she still wonders how the miqo'te woman is doing.

''●''●[[C'kayah Tia]]: A Miqo'te who once supplied Lili with alchemical materials she was having a hard time acquiring, he was smitten with her from the start and she rejected his advances over and over again. Instead, teasing him with playful retorts and equally playful skepticism. They ended up being around one another off and on as time went on, and over time Lili came to see that his feelings and gestures were indeed sincere and affectionate by his repeat efforts to prove such. They were mated and even engaged for a time, and though the details of their separation are unclear Lili doesn't seem to regard the male with any ill will though you certainly won't find her seeking him out.

''●''[[Darturu Torlan]]: Darturu and Lili were once mated, but his co-creation of the Blacktalon Vanguard made balancing work and a relationship difficult. The two eventually decided to part ways, still caring for one another, but now left to their own devices. As time has passed and seeing less and less of him, her feelings had softened to the point where romance is no longer something she entertains with the Miqo'te. They have not seen one another since she left the Vanguard, and she seems to have no desire to change that.

''●''[[Dheina Tayuun]]: A young Miqo'te she met when coming back to Ul'dah via her previous mate, Darturu. They keep in touch sporadically, and have a pleasent friendship.

●[[Graeldelon Bloodrage]]: One of the newer members of the Society, Lili doesn't know the young man very well. However she can occasionally be caught looking at him with a faint and curious little smile as well as fussing over recent wounds he suffered as part of a training exercise.

''●''●[[Kagewoe Erasus]]: Fiance of Nymira's, Kage is also one of her officers. While she is not close to the male, she is confident in his abilities to help her and Nym keep everyone in line and together. Recent events with the Society have the two walking on thin ice around one another and generally not around one another.

''●''[[Kal Numara]]: A Highlander woman who is also a friend of Lili's. Usually teasing her, and constantly referring to her as 'Mama' or 'Mama Lili'. Such teasings are usually met with Lili retaliating (playfully so).

[[Kenthy Pennyfeather|''●''Kenthy Pennyfeather]]: A miqo'te Lili met through her interractions with C'kayah and the Morbolvines, she's grown a light friendship with the woman, as well as quite a bit of respect due to the help that was given to her during her experience in the form of a Moonkeeper. Despite her sassy and slightly abrasive nature, Lili finds her pleasent. During a series of discussions involving Kenthy and C'kayah's desire to add intimacy to their current relationship, Kenthy lashed out at Lili in a way that had her feeling almost hostile towards the woman. Later on, the two women managed to patch things up and Lili gave Kenthy her blessing to be involved with C'kayah. She doesn't see the redhead regularly, but should one ask she considers her a friend.

''♥●''[[Kaiten Skyborn]]: Lili and this hyur have been involved for quite some time, and recently their relationship has grown more solid. They usually spend much of their free time together, often accompanied by Lili's adopted son Ado. They stared off as lovers with [[C'kayah Tia]] as Lili's primary, but once that relationship dwindled off Kaiten has grown to become first and foremost in Lili's heart.

''●''[[Kaohastraal Aeseroix]]:A very large roe man that was introduced to Lili via T'shina at the fish fry event. His Garlean name took her aback at first, but when they started talking he eased her mind and explained some of his story. He's admitted to having an interest in her on many levels, and they've agreed to simply get to know one another. Though it's hard to know what Lili is thinking when they're seen together. As of late, she's started helping him with a number of private matters regarding his 'health'.

''●''[[Katiti Kati]]: Lili met this Lalafell around the time she met Ado, who served alongside Toff as one of the Lalachild's unofficial guardians. She eventually joined the Society, being hired as Ado's official teacher. Lili trusts her judgement, but worries with how much she stresses over things all the time.

''●''●[[Kolhi'to Embhre]]: Creator of the Blacktalon Vanguard and Lili's former employer, Lili has known Kol for quite some time. However, they seem neither friendly nor hostile. Instead only polite when meeting or speaking in passing. More often then not Kol's grumpy attitude tends to irk Lili even if she may not always show it.

''●''[[Leon Maxwell]]: A young boy Lili met through Tenha'a, she's done her best to look out for his well being and educate him on matters he inquires about, such as love. Knowing a few tidbits about his current health and situation, she's been doing some research into what can possibly be done to help him. Between her work in the Society and his involvements in other matters, assisting him hasn't been as large of a priority. Recently, she learned that he found a cure which brought her happiness to know that perhaps now he could live a long and healthy life.

♥●[[Locke Rinannis]]: She had seen this man when he was around one of the free company houses next to Blacktalon, though never spoke to him or approached him. Later, she heard he was looking for work and offered him a job at the Society. He's one of her most quiet employees, and as a result she actively tries to drag him around the others and be social. His polite demeanor and timidity charms her, and she finds him rather attractive though she values him as a friend and workmate moreso then anything.

''●''[[Mouse Wytchwood]]: A miqo'te girl with odd origins and green hair, Lili has always regarded the girl with motherly concern and attention. From watching her from afar or explaining terms and concepts she does not easily grasp or helping with her hair. She knows enough of Mouse's backstory to keep her eye on the girl when she's able to, and to try and guide harm out of her way.

''●''[[Nymira Valeroyant]]: One of the members of the Society and its' main healer, Nym is not only a good friend of Lili's but also one of her officers to help keep the Society running smoothly.

''●''[[Rock Shattermountain]]: A Highlander Lili has recently met when helping with the Pumpkin Cafe opening night. He also is a friend of her adopted son, Ado. After a night out together, he confessed to feelings of a more romantic nature, and the two have been slowly getting to know one another from there. He is also the one that gave her a little pet fawn whom she affectionately calls Dot. As their interractions have progressed, as well as his hints and confessions to seeing Lili as a prospective wife, it left her flattered by his intense emotions. While she still cares for him, they have drifted into more of a close friendship.

●[[Tendha'a Rendha]]: A male Miqo'te whom Lili met shortly after the creation of the Vanguard. The two quickly became friends and confidants, and he is the mate of T'shina Vashka. Since Lili and C'kayah started seeing one another, neither of the two have spoken much and he never said a word when he officially left the Society with T'shina and a few others. Even after C'kayah stopped being a regular part of Lili's life, Lili shows no interest in rekindling a friendship with Tendha'a or related associates.

''●''●[[Toff Vaughn]]: One of Ado's original guardians, Lili went to Toff and Katiti before she formally adopted Ado. While she respects the man, his childish bouts of attitude test the limits of her temper, including with how he has grown the habit lately of flirting with taken women. Whether he seems to know they're taken or not.

''●''●[[Togy Brandmakt]]: A previous lover, the two seperated due to Togy's wanderings and traveling keeping them apart moreso then together. While not on bad terms, his unstable nature and her mixed responses to his off days makes their interractions a hit-or-miss.

●[[T'shina Vashka]]: A young woman Lili regards as a friend, the recent interractions Lili has had with C'kayah has strained their relationship. Afterwards, the two didn't speak for a while and had one rather large argument that Tenha'a even became part that drove Lili away emotionally. Things never fully recovered after that, and when finding out that Lili and C'kayah were still together, she resigned from the Society.

●[[U'zhan Tia]]: A Miqo'te that Lili met due to his associations with T'shina, he asked Lili to go adventuring with him. Shortly afterwards, he stopped speaking with her. Having gotten the impression he was very much like the womanizing 'Nunh' types he claimed to dislike so much, Lili has had very little desire to rekindle a friendship. With his mating to one of her employees, Liandri, she is slowly getting more accustomed to seeing the man hanging around the Society grounds.

== History/Timeline ==

[[File:BirfdayLili.jpg]]

=== 1544-1559 Childhood/adolescence ===

Born an only child, Lili had a comfortable life with her parents living in Ul'dah. Taking frequent trips to the countryside and the desert to look for new herbs and roots and other things that were in demand or that her parents needed to discover. They met a variety of people and went a variety places before Lili even learned how to walk, though their home territory was always Ul'dah and the Thanalans. Around the time Lili was just turning five, her parents decided to relocate to La Noscea and start maping and surveying the lush island terrain. While on the cargo ship to Limsa Lominsa, the Altairs discovered a tiny bundle that was wailing and screaming and covered in bloodied rags. A newborn Miqo'te child, still covered in the blood of labor pains, though with no mother in sight. No one on the ship knew where she came from, and eventually Lili's parents made her part of the family and named her Rahsha.

Time passed easily in La Noscea. Lili treasured little Rahsha as if she was a blood sister. The tail and ears were only a cute little addition Lili liked to play with. Around the time she was eight and Rahsha was barely three, a family moved in nearby from Ala Mhigo with a single child of their own. A dark skinned, blonde haired, red eyed little prankster of a boy named Ghislan Nightwing. He was immidiately taken with Lili, even as a young boy, and showed it in his typical fashion of flipping her skirts, pulling on her head, and throwing sand and mud balls at he face. This usually earned him retaliation of equal brutality by Lili, with assistance from little Rahsha while their parents looked on with affection and amusement.

The years passed without incident. The comings and goings of the outside world seemed far away from Lili. Her life consisted of her family and Ghislan, and it seemed to be all she needed. As Ghislan and Lili got older, they went from children to friends, and before long, they were fawning over one another in the typical girlish and boyish fashions. Shortly after Lili's fourteenth birthday gathering, their love for one another was too much to be contained (in their young eyes at least). Following their coupling, Lili realized she was pregnant, and the two quickly escaped into the night to find the closest Priestess of Menphina to bless a union between them. Their elopement was received with a measure of shock and surprise that was quickly welcomed by all, save for Rahsha. Feeling that her sister abandoned her, the little Miqo'te never quite outgrew such feelings.

And thus began the life of Mrs. Lilithium Nightwing.

=== 1559-1569 Lilithium Amal'thea Nightwing ===

The married life was one Lili slipped into with ease. Shortly after turning fifteen summers, she gave birth to Khavan Amadeus Nightwing, who looked more like his father then anything else. Despite being young, they were hard working with Lili spending the majority of her time as a house wife taking care of their son with the aide of both of their parents. While Rahsha was loving to a degree to Khavan, she was still distant with her sister. It was something that, while Lili mourned for the lack of emotion she got from her, she couldn't focus on too deeply and still provide the needed care for her family.

During the first few years of their marriage, Ghislan continued to grow. Taller and taller and taller, reaching well past the average height for a Highlander. While it certainly got attention in a crowd and delighted Lili as well, it caught the eye of a few mercenary groups who saw great potential. Soon, he was recruited and cycled through a few companies who paid well and the work was mostly geared towards training. It brought in enough profit that Lili and Ghislan built their family home from the ground up. A beautiful, pale stoned cottage melded with shells from the nearby shore.

Throwing a grand celebration with friends to honor the new homestead, everyone (even Lili) drank in good cheer. One man amoungst them, however, took advantage of the situation. A long time friend of the couples' who joined Ghislan as a healer in some of his fights and jobs, his poor health would be the death of him soon and they all knew it. Amore Silverlark was his name, and he was the only living member of his family. Determined to not leave this world without carrying out his family name, he guided a very intoxicated Lili to a back room to take advantage, and succeeded with getting her pregnant. Overcome by guilt, he confessed to Ghislan who nearly killed him on the spot were it not for Lili intervening. Barely able to let it pass, Ghislan agreed to curb his animosity while it was discussed on what to do. A few weeks later, Amore succumbed to his illness and passed away, leaving Lili and Ghislan with two choices: Keep the illegitimate children, or find a way to terminate the pregnancy.

Months later, Deisarameda and Sarameda Silverlark were born. In honor of Amore and Ghislan's more happy history together, they kept the surname and Ghislan raised them as his own. Sadly, they inherited their father's illness and were in poor health as children and even into their now adult life.

Shortly after the girls were born, Lili's parents died abruptly in a house fire. Mere days later, Rahsha disappeared with what little belongings she covered from the fire. To this day, Lili has rarely seen sight of her adopted sister and has heard rumors that she retreated to the Shroud to perhaps find clues to her true family.

The years passed without incident. Ghislan put aside his mercenary life to join the military efforts around La Noscea and even beyond. During one particular assignment he was doing freelance for the Immortal Flames, they were attacked by Garleans in which Ghislan was captured and taken away. There was never a body recovered, and Lili was wracked by grief for a number of years. Even with her children there as support, it slowly became accepted that Ghislan was likely dead and never returning. Her soulmate, the love of her life, the father of her children, was gone. There was no more to be done.

And so, life went on.

=== 1569/0-Present Calamity ===

Lili ended up retaking her maiden name of Altair a few years after Ghislan passed, not feeling right baring the name of her dead husband. The day of the Calamity, Lili and her three children visited the empty grave on a little cliff over looking the sea that was dedicated to Ghislan. All four watched in complete horror as the world around them was torn to bits and land and buildings became decimated. Thankfully, their home remained intact and they suffered no severe losses. Lili focused more on her alchemical talents to help locals and those in the cities while making a little extra money for herself and her family. Within the last two years, her children grew up into beautiful, capable young adults. All three starting to go their own ways to build their new lives. It left Lili in an interesting position: After almost two decades of being married, being widowed, raising children...she now had time to focus on herself. A thrilling but frightening prospect she still has difficulty comprehending to this day.

Lili spent the first few months trying to find hobbies. Interests. Even dabbling in the company of courtesans to appease some of the loneliness seeped into her heart. Money that Ghislan left behind in his passing was enough to sustain her day-to-day life, but she still felt empty. Unfulfilled. Without her soulmate, she began to wonder if she'd eventually die of a broken heart the way some songbirds did when their mates passed. During a trip out by Moraby, Lili came across a Miqo'te man named [[Kolhi'to Embhre]] who passed along a possible business proposition at his free company, Black Sun Trading. Intrigued, Lili followed through on the matter and found employment working for the Silverstars, Matthias and Althena. It gave her a new purpose and new motivation, and during that time she met and had a brief coupling with one of her coworkers named [[Togy Brandmakt]]. While things didn't last, it opened a door for her she never thought she'd try again: Dating.

Work for Lili in Black Sun was usually fairly slow, with the occasional incident breaking up the monotony of each daily routine. But the people were interesting, and many interesting occurrences happened in the Bismarck from laughter to violence. Later, it was announced that the trading company would become an academy (Black Sun Academy), and Lili became the school receptionist. She kept an eye when she could on some of the more naive members and prospective students, including a young woman named [[Mouse Wytchwood]]. Through an old lover, Lili learned of Mouse's mysterious nature and past and vowed to keep it quiet and continue to help watching the girl from afar. Her focus became the school, as well as finding ways to relieve herself of her loneliness. She took her alchemy back up again, as well as continued her parents' legacy and proficiency in botany.

More time passed with very little incident. For a period, Lili was surrounded by an influx of interested parties who wished to start relationships with her. Only one caught her interest in the end, a miqo'te man she met through Kolhi'to named [[Darturu Torlan]]. Charmed and taken in by his good manners, wit, and appearence, he soon became a regular part of her life. And soon, a significant other. Shortly after this her youngest daughter, Sarameda, became ill. Needing constant care and attention, Lili took an extended period of time to be with her daughter and away from the world. Including away from Darturu.

Shortly after Sara finally recovered, Lili heard everyone had relocated to Ul'dah to start up a new company with Kolhi'to as head of the organization. A mercenary group called the Blacktalon Vanguard, and Darturu was his partner. Lili relocated so as to help with the group, as well as be supportive of Dart. While the relationship with Darturu didn't last and they eventually parted ways, she still met many new people and still talks to quite a few even after she left the Vanguard to start her own group, the Free Wing Society. During this time she met a young lalachild named [[Adokenai Kodomo]], a resident tot at the Quicksand that seemed to be cared after by Momodi and the adventurers that inhabited the place. So taken by him, she decided to adopt the boy as her own and the announcement was made at the opening of the Pumpkin Cafe. There, she met two people: [[Rock Shattermountain]] and [[Sarial Hawke]], both of whom took a liking to the woman and her charms. They later joined the Society, along with others that Lili knew from Blacktalon and beyond.

Also during this time, she met a man named [[C'kayah Tia]] who supplied with her alchemical regents that she was having a hard time getting a hold of. The attraction between the two was almost instant, and at the end of the night Lili decided to give him a link to her personal pearl. Not expecting to hear from him for quite some time (if ever), Lili was surprised when he got a hold of her almost immediately afterwards. It set off a chain of interactions that sent them down an unexpectedly passionate path of emotions and intimacy that Lili never seemed able to push aside. Even though at the begining she was wary, he made her feel like she could take a chance. It led her to meeting even more people, like [[Kenthy Pennyfeather]] and [[Miah Polaali]], and eventually led to her and Kayah becoming mates. While their relationship was 'open' and unconventional, she also took in a lover named [[Kaiten Skyborn]] while C'kayah took in his own interests.

The Society continued to thrive, though some of her friendships suffered as a product of her relationship with C'kayah. Her long standing friendship with [[T'shina Vashka]] and [[Tenha'a Rendha]] being the primary ones, as their dislike of C'kayah and vehemence against Lili being with him led to them recently leaving the Society. While this happened, Lili remained firm in her decision to spend her future with the male. Life continued to change, and still does to this day. Though Lili and C'kayah eventually parted ways, she took the developments in stride and poured herself further into work.

'''Currently''': Lili remains working, balancing a home and professional life as best as she's able. She's usually found in Ul'dah or her company house, managing her employees or organizing relations and jobs. More often then not her time is work related save for those rare moments where she spends time quietly with her family, friends, or Kaiten. She's been out of the public eye as of late, relocating her and her son as a product of her engagement ending and getting them situated in a new home and routine.

:-Lili is very kind and affectionate to most people she meets. That doesn't necessarily mean she's flirting with you. 
:-I tend to ignore or shut down individuals who get upset OOC about not being romantically involved with Lili and/or not getting the oppurtunity. She didn't pick you so there's probably a reason. Get over it.

== Character ==

=== General ===

'''C'kayah Tia''' (''Ka-kai-yah Tea-ah'') is an active, vigorous Seeker of the Sun living in the city-state of Ul'dah. Somewhat "urbanized" compared to many of the Coeurl tribe, he typifies the sort of energetic Tia who leaves to [[Coeurl Tribe|Hunt the World]] and decides that it's pretty nice out there. Very distinctly not a hero, he walks that grey area between mere decadence and villainy.

'''Note: C'kayah does not have the Echo, nor is a part of the Scions. He has no information on anything relating to the events portrayed in the game.'''

=== Appearance ===

<blockquote>
"I am tall for a Miqo'te, and I have always been blessed with swift feet and an athletic build. My coarse brown hair is unruly, like my father's. I used to keep it braided, but I spend the time now to keep it styled. My eyebrows, which are fine, I get from my mother, as I do my eyes. I have fangs, a legacy from my maternal grandmother, a Keeper of the Moon. While I do not dress like a tribal Couerl - I am too fond of stylish urban Miqo'te fashion - my mannerisms sometimes give away my affiliations."
</blockquote>

[[File:C-finalOriginalsmallest.jpg]]

=== Behavior ===

Despite his tribal background, C'kayah has adapted to civilized society like a fish to water. He is curious, energetic, and adventurous, with the sort of overweening fondness for the trappings of civilization that sometimes develops in civilized barbarians. While he likes to portray himself as a the same carefree Miqo that he's always been, living through the Calamity has affected him, making him more aware that ignoring a threat does not make that threat go away. He doesn't tell anyone, but the last five years have seen him apply himself to study (of healing, of history, and of politics) with a diligence that is quite unlike him.

== Combat ==

=== General ===

Originally trained in his tribe as a hunter, he has continued to hone his skills, becoming an accomplished tracker and archer. While he picked up the sword during the Calamity, he considered himself only knowledgable enough to get himself into trouble. Since his disastrous encounter with Thunder, he's applied himself to the study of swordsmanship with an uncharacteristic drive. His overall philosophy of combat is that it is best to engage an enemy in a way that he knows they have been defeated before they are even aware that they are in combat.

<blockquote>
"If I am in a fair fight, then I have done something terribly, terribly wrong."
</blockquote>

== Tendencies ==

<blockquote>
"Likes/Dislikes: I like to roam, and I like to return. I like good food, fine wine, witty conversation with intelligent people, beautiful women (oh? Did you think that a Tia, by not breeding, has no knowledge of women?), and comfortable living. I like subtle and thought-provoking poetry and philosophy. Dislikes? I am not fond of Elezen, or at least those Elezen who maintain that the rest of us are merely invaders in their world. I dislike limitations. I dislike foolish behavior, maudlin sentimentality and boredom. Most of all, though, I like power and I dislike an empty purse."
</blockquote>

=== Family ===

<blockquote>
"My parents are C'xin Nunh and C'issapa Oya. My father is very conservative, holding to the "eternal ways of of Coeurl Tribe". My mother... is something of a free spirit. They said that she has Keeper blood in her, which I suppose means that I have it as well. My own wandering feet I have certainly inherited from her. Other relatives? You know how it is in a Seeker tribe, especially one such as the Coeurls. I have many relatives, many siblings by my father, yet none (that I know of) by my mother. Some I got along with very well, and we exchange letters to this day, though I have not seen any of my siblings since I left to Hunt the World, twelve years ago."
</blockquote>

::● '''C'xin Nunh:''' C'kayah's father. C'xin is extremely conservative, and expects C'kayah to uphold the traditions of the tribe. Often distant with his children, C'xin nevertheless takes an active interest in their lives.
::● '''C'issapa Oya:''' C'kayah's mother. C'issapa is an extremely free-spirited and free-thinking woman whose sharp canines and large eyes betray a mixed ancestry. C'issapa reveres Menphina, and it is from her that C'kayah developed his own devotion to the diety. C'kayah and C'issapa have always been extremely close.
::●● '''The rest:''' As is common with Seeker tribes, C'kayah has many brothers and sisters.

=== Other Relationships ===

<blockquote>
"I suppose my natural disposition is to make fresh acquaintances, and to break with them so readily, although always for a good reason, and never through mere fickleness."
</blockquote>

::● '''[[Adokenai Kodomo]]:''' This five year old Lalafell child is [[Lilithium Altair]]'s adopted son. One evening while helping Lili get him ready for bed, the child fell asleep in C'kayah's arms, startling him with the intensity of his affection for the Lalafell.
::● '''[[Alyeis Daimeiris]]:''' A mysterious Keeper with an extralegal background who has been seen in his company from time to time. Considering both of their pasts, there is some speculation that they may be working together towards nefarious ends.
::● '''[[Ari'za Tyanu]]:''' A young Seeker who C'kayah took on as a member of Tylwyth Narah and a student in the darker aspects of criminal activities, their relationship immediately grew complicated when she discovered she was with child. Her rough past left her with little ability to trust others, but C'kayah's willingness to commit to aiding the woman led to a fragile trust between her and him. While the two are attracted to one another, though her views of Seeker relationships prevent them from acting on this. After the birth of her twin daughters, he found himself spending a great deal of time with the children until the appearance of an old enemy of hers convinced her that the safest course of action for her and her children would be to go into hiding.
::♥● '''[[Aya Foxheart]]:''' C'kayah met this attractive Hyur when he passed through Fallgourd Float. The two immediately bonded over drink and flirty conversation. They saw little of one another for some months after that, until she relocated to Ul'dah and began to work in the Quicksand as a barmaid, when they renewed their friendship. They share similar outlooks, both having rejected the future their childhood was preparing them for in favor of living their lives as they want to. While it is clear that both are attracted to each other, he values her primarily as a friend and will do anything to help her, should she be in need.
::● '''[[Dennthota Ahtahrmwyn]]:''' A Roegadyn bandit going by the street name of Thunder and leader of a gang who viciously attacked C'kayah outside the Royal Ball in Ul'dah. While C'kayah originally orchestrated a manhunt for the bandit, her elusiveness has led him to abandon the search. He has taken to wearing a sword in case the bandit strikes again.
::● '''[[Erik Mynhier]]:''' C'kayah met Erik through Siha, who the big Hyur adopted as a sister. Erik is everything C'kayah is not: tall, noble and virtuous. Despite all of that, C'kayah found himself enjoying the big Hyur's company, possibly due to Erik's loyalty towards Siha. As time passed, however, he began to be aware that all was not well with the Hyur. A strong sense of duty compounded by a devotion to dying a heroic death made him wary, distancing himself from the man. His fears proved well-founded when Erik was killed in what, to C'kayah, were completely avoidable circumstances. After heroic measures by Siha, he was returned to life. Since his death and return, however, he has heard rumors of troubling behavior.
::● '''[[Friederike Visconti]]:''' A Miqo'te barmaid at the Laughing Lady, and mate of Shifu Karambit. The three have become friends and have frequently been seen talking together.
::● '''[[K'eyona Tone'lico]]:''' A mysterious Miqo'te woman who's been seen in C'kayah's company, typically talking in quiet areas of Ul'dah away from prying eyes and listening ears. Some who have encountered her theorize that she works for him in a private investigator and mercenary capacity.
::● '''[[Kage Kiryuu]]:''' C'kayah met this Lalafell while trying to reverse the effects of Natalie's tempering. The pair bonded over their shared interest in helping her, and have since become fast friends. Kage's ascension to the ranks of the Sultansworn pleased him, though lately he's begun to wonder if the realities of the position are good for the Lalafell's innocent spirit. Kage made up the fourth member of the Cat tribe before it's dissolution. Kage and Natalie's creation of a new tribe with Kage as Nunh mere days after the dissolution of the Cat tribe has soured C'kayah's feelings for the Lalafell, moreso after Kage's mysterious transformation into a Miqo'te. However, a recent meeting between the two has somehow convinced C'kayah to act as a mentor to Kage, helping the man come to terms with his new identity.
::● '''[[Kanaria Galanodel]]:''' Osric Melkire's Hyur lover. C'kayah helped her to save Askier Mergrey during his ill-fated attempt to attack Ul'dah under pressure from the Garleans. As a reward, she brought him news that Osric had been tasked with C'kayah's death. Rationally he doesn't blame her for the dissolution of his tribe, but feelings often do not have a basis in rationality.
::♥● '''[[Kenthy Pennyfeather]]:''' A Sunseeker with a mysterious past who C'kayah has been seen conversing with lately. Their relationship is complex, with Kenthy's acidic nature hiding sincere feelings for her. For his part, C'kayah highly values her judgement, and has made her his lieutenant within Tylwyth Narah. While those close to them have seen hints of the deeper feelings that run between them, neither share the details of their relationship with strangers.
::● '''[[Kiht Jakkya]]:''' Vice Matriarch to the Morbolvine clan and associate of an underworld figure C'kayah has dealt with in the past. Their relationship is colored by suspicion and doubt. While they recently overcame their past antagonism, bonding over shared regard for the clan, it was not long before renewed conflict soured their relationship.
::♥● '''[[Liana Blu]]:''' C'kayah met Liana as she was burying the remnants of a Roegadyn that had attacked Suri. Moved by his concern for Suri, she was convinced to let him help them to escape Ul'dahn justice. Thal to Suri's Nald, C'kayah has nothing but admiration for her. He once harbored hopes of something more, but she rebuked him. After Suri's departure, they briefly pursued an odd relationship - not friends, not lovers, but something else. As the months have gone on, he's seen Liana less and less. After her near-mortal injury and rebirth, he renewed his friendship with the Keeper.
::●'''[[Lilithium Altair]]:''' An alchemist to whom he supplied contraband materials, something sparked between C'kayah and this Hyur. When they met, both were nursing freshly broken hearts, and they tried to balance their mutual attraction with some degree of caution, circling one another like a pair of gladiators in the moment before the attack. They soon both admitted that their attraction was real, and began to spend a great deal of time together, developing a complex and unconventional open relationship which consumed them for a time.
::● '''[[Natalie Mcbeef]]:''' A dedicated Sultansworn Paladin who subjected him to an in-depth investigation. Over the course of it, the pair were surprised at the feelings they developed for each other. Despite the misgivings of their friends and associates, the pair decided to pursue a relationship that blossomed into an extremely strong partnership. Over the months they grew closer, eventually attempting to create an urban Miqo'te tribe in Ul'dah. This ended with a vicious fight seemingly caused by the strain of trying to deal with two different groups that wanted C'kayah dead. The news that she formed a new tribe, with Kage Kiryuu as Nunh mere days afterwards has transformed his love for her into a burning hate that has only gradually subsided.
::● '''[[Miah Polaali]]:''' Matriarch of the Morbolvine clan. A distant relative of C'kayah's, he has dealt with the Morbolvines for years as a smuggler. Recently renewing his relationship with the clan, he discovered their old Matriarch dead and Miah in her place. He's aware of Miah's driving ambition to turns the clan into something more: a Power in the underworld. While he is interested in helping them take this place, he has repeatedly run afoul of the mercurial Keeper and doubts her ability to achieve her ambitions.
::●● '''[[Osric Melkire]]:''' A usually-mased Immortal Flame with whom C'kayah worked to stop Askier Mergrey's plans for detonating a ceruleum bomb in Ul'dah. While the two are sometimes antagonistic, it is clear that C'kayah holds a grudging respect for the man, considering him a beacon of honorable behavior in an otherwise unrecoverably corrupt organization. At the same time, Osric's staged hunt of C'kayah was a catalyst for the dissolution of his tribe, and he still holds an active dislike for the man for that.
::● '''[[Rinh'li Nelhah]]:''' Another Morbolvine and associate of Dennthota's, the hostility of this Keeper to C'kayah isimmediately clear to any who see them together. For his part, C'kayah delights in baiting the stuttering, angry man.
::● '''[[Rinh'sae Nelhah]]:''' Brother to Rinh'li, Rinh'sae and C'kayah have gradually warmed up to one another. Rinh'sae has done work for him, and his competent and loyal nature have sparked a strong regard for the Keeper in C'kayah.
::● '''[[Roswyn Valhuri]]:''' A young Keeper woman who C'kayah's known for years, though they only re-established contact with one another within the past year. For a time, their feelings for one another were all-consuming and clear to anyone who saw them together. The violence of their attraction threw them together and spun them apart until at last C'kayah began to avoid her, though he continued to watch after her from afar. After his first encounters with Lolorito's assassins, he contacted her for aid and found that she'd changed radically from the ambitious girl he'd known into a smart, capable woman. He was surprised at this change, but more surprised that their feelings for one another remained just as strong, though tempered by his belief that neither could be what the other desired. Despite this, his feelings for her continued to grow, until one disastrous night soon after the dissolution of the Cat tribe. Her simultaneous revelation that she had become the mate of another and her insistence on his presence in her life - in his mind as a sort of Tia - left him shattered and for a time he refused to see her. They have since attempted to reconcile, but fate seems to desire to keep the pair apart. After an emergency pulled him away from her, she broke off contact with him. He's since realized that their relationship is healthy for neither of them, and has resigned himself to not seeing her. Distance has allowed his feelings to settle, and he returned to his old practice of keeping an eye on her from the shadows, ready to use his resources to ensure her safety. His recent attempts to warn her of one of her business contacts, however, were met with hostility on her part. He's ceased observing her and has decided to leave her to her own devices, as she so clearly seems to want.
::● '''[[Siha Xinkei]]:''' A scrappy little Keeper girl who was rejected by her family, Siha has managed to touch a genuine spot of compassion in his decadent heart. News of Erik's illness shocked her, causing her to dedicate herself to finding some way to save her brother. After his death and rebirth, she pulled away, spending more and more time in the pursuit of dark studies with cruel associates for a time before recently coming back into his life. He discovered that the innocent girl he knew is now a capable and intelligent woman. Her confession of her feelings for him left him thoughtful for the future for a time, though she vanished again soon after that, leaving him wondering where she is and what she's doing.
::● '''[[User:S'rahvi Khai|S'rahvi Khai]]:''' An extremely attractive Seeker C'kayah met through Natalie. While their relationship was originally based on mutual attraction, they've since become close friends. Rahvi's abilities as an alchemist have proved very valuable to C'kayah.
::● '''[[Shifu Karambit]]:''' An intense Keeper woman, new to Ul'dah, who had been seen in Natalie and C'kayah's company quite a bit before his departure from their tribe.
::♥● '''[[Surilian Blu]]:''' A young Keeper who's somehow managed to kindle extremely strong (and completely unexpected) feelings in him. A characteristically ham-handed declaration of those feelings drove her away, much to his despair. His attempts to patch things up in the aftermath failed miserably, as neither Miqo'te were able to overcome their awkward inability to really communicate. As the months have passed, his feelings for her have not declined. Recently, following an attack by the bandit Thunder, C'kayah learned that Suri risked her life in an attempt to exact vengeance, suffering capture and torture at the hands of the bandit, though he also learned that Suri had worked briefly with her, promising to deliver C'kayah to Thunder in exchange for the death of Natalie - a deal Suri broke within minutes. The pair have since admitted their feelings for one another, though in the typically dysfunctional manner they exhibit with one another. Suri's decision to become [[Artorias Mason|Artorias Mason's]] mate spurred a resolve in him to stand by her and support her relationship with the Hyur. His love for her remains, but he tries to keep it buried inside.
::● '''[[Tana Firesong]]:''' C'kayah encountered this odd Miqo'te lancer when she attacked him for his supposed crimes against the general public. Escaping with the help of Natalie, the pair eventually worked past their differences and became friends. While guarding him, she earned the ire of the Morbolvines after a duel went bad, resulting in her departure to the mountains. Despite this, he continues to defend her and hopes that she is well.
::● '''[[Torken Queb]]:''' A tall Hyur sellsword who C'kayah has hired in the past for jobs. Forceful and direct almost to a fault, Torken has proved valuable in situations where discretion isn't called for.

== History/Timeline ==

=== 1548-1565 Childhood/adolescence ===

C'kayah was born into a sept of the Coeurl Tribe in the deserts around Ul'dah, C'kayah (like many Seekers) both loved the security of his enormous extended family and chafed at the restrictions imposed by them. Coeurl tribe children typically join a ''ton'' at adolescence, leaning to fill an adult's role with the tribe. With his love of wandering, he chose the Hunter's ton, learning the skills of tracking and shooting and enjoying the freedom that tramping through the wilderness provided. On his seventeenth name-day, he left his sept to [[Coeurl Tribe|Hunt the World]], a Coeurl "travelling ritual".

=== 1565-1572 The carefree life ===

Initially upon leaving his tribe, Ul'dah drew him in, as it draws in so many. When he first arrived he had no money, so life was hard for him. His skills were ill-suited toward gaining a living within the city, so he found himself earning his way through mercenary work, caravan-guarding and the like. Along the way he developed his rudimentary Couerl medical talents, becoming a decent frontier medic. Ul'dah is a decadent place, and he took to this decadence wholeheartedly, especially after attracting the notice of A'rela Nereh, a wealthy silver merchant. Twice his age and a notorious consumer of attractive young Miqo'te, he briefly became her lover while she, in turn, taught him to appreciate the comforts of civilization as well as the importance of connections, though he did not appreciate ''that'' lesson until years later. Back on his own when her attentions wandered, he began to supplement his income by smuggling and theft and soon grew wealthy enough to enjoy life in Ul'dah. All good things must come to an end, however, and he was chased out of that city in his eighteenth year.

Over the next few years, he made his way across the world, spending most of his time around Limsa Lominsa and Gridania. Like Ul'dah, these places combined plentiful opportunities for acquiring money with a wealth of pleasures on which to spend it. By this time he had developed a grab bag of competencies, allowing him to get by while avoiding the tedium of a full-time occupation: smuggling, petty theft (though never more than his victims could afford), fixing (in the sense of ''arranging'' matters), and even the occasional legitimate job. In Gridania he met his first real love, a young thief who called herself S'aitei Koei - an obvious pseudonym. Another Ul'dan refuge, S'aitei was an escaped slave with the lash scars on her back to prove the cruelty of that institution to him. Settling in the Shroud, they made the forest their home, living from the proceeds of C'kayah's smuggling. Their intense and unconventional affair lasted nearly three years, consuming them until they could no longer sustain it, like coal burned to ash. They remained close friends afterwards, and much of his apparent arrested adolescence and inveterate womanizing could be considered his heart yearning to return to those three devastating years.

=== 1572/0-Present Calamity ===

C'kayah did not take the Garlean threat seriously at first, considering such politics to be inconsequential to him. As the clouds of war gathered, however, he began to see how he may be affected. Like many around Gridania, he learned to handle a sword in anticipation of a Garlean invasion of the city proper, though he moved to the city when the Gridanians set out for Cartaneau.

Like all who survived the Calamity, the devastation wrought by Bahamut and the red moon shocked him, giving him the full measure of the Garlean threat. He awaited the end with the other Gridanians, and when it did not come, he lent his aid as a medic to the streams of refugees and survivors. The event opened his eyes to the larger concerns of the world.

S'aitei disappeared during this time, and he presumes she died in the calamity. He nurtures a slow-burning hatred of the Garleans as a result of her loss.

In the aftermath of the Calamity, he gradually returned to his old ways. Smuggling and ''fixing'', in his mind, were good ways to both help those who lacked what they needed while also giving him the money he desired. He has recently managed to placate the Ul'dahn Syndicate and was allowed to return to that city, where he began to give up his wandering life. Gathering a number of talented criminals, he began to contract out their services as the Nald'Thal's Hand Social Club. Once the Club reached a significant size and level of power, he left it in the hands of his old lieutenant, a Seeker woman named [[Emelie Annel]], to pursue other opportunities. The Club operated for a time out of [http://laughinglady.enjin.com/| The Laughing Lady], a tavern known for its underworld ties, before shutting down recently.

His time at the head of the NHSC opened his eyes to the larger political landscape of the Ul'dahn underworld, and he went from observing it to trying to manipulate it. In the time since his departure from the NHSC, he has concentrated on building ties with ever more criminal organizations. Students of the Ul'dahn underworld sometimes speculate that he's engaged in a long-term manipulation of the underworld, with the ultimate goal of placing him on the Syndicate.

With his mate [[Natalie Mcbeef]], he created the [[Cat Tribe]], an urban Miqo'te tribe roughly based off of [[Coeurl Tribe]] customs. [[Kage Kiryuu]] and [[Shifu Karambit]] were more recent additions. However, recent allegations that he was behind an attack on the family home of [[Lolorito]], the head of the East Aldenard Trading Company and member of the Syndicate, have led him to leave his tribe and mates, fleeing Ul'dah. The added strain of a second party seeking his life sparked a vicious fight that resulted in his abandonment by both Natalie and Kage, leaving him alone to face his foes.

Following his tribe's betrayal, he began to focus on restoring his network of underworld contacts and engineering a return to power, all while under pressure from Lolorito's assassins and bounty hunters. He immediately faced an additional complication when the rogue Flame [[Osric Melkire]] fingered him for an assassination attempt. He managed to turn this to his advantage, staging his own death to remove the threat from Lolorito and let him figure a permanent solution to the problem. This came in the form of a shadowy deal with a little-known Shroud-based underworld figure, who somehow managed to convince the Syndicate figure that C'kayah wasn't behind the attack. At the same time, his relationship with [[Roswyn Valhuri]] changed for the worse, leaving him shattered and easy prey for a clan of Keepers, the [[http://morbolvines.enjin.com/ Morbolvine Clan]], who were associated with the bandit Thunder. Their unfamiliarity with keeping prisoners led to his easy scape

It was about this time that he encountered [[Kenthy Pennyfeather]], an acidic and abrasive Sunseeker. The two developed an unlikely friendship, leading to their work in the Sea Wolf crime syndicate [[http://tylwyth-narah.enjin.com/ Tylwyth Narah]]. Soon after this he sold alchemical reagents to [[Lilithium Altair]], a charismatic Hyur. He was immediately attracted to her, and pursued her aggressively. Nursing a freshly broken heart herself, she held him at arms length, though their mutual attraction prevented her from turning him away completely. Over time the pair grew close, finally admitting their love together and falling into a complex relationship which consumed them for some time. At the same time, his relationship with Kenthy grew more and more solid, and the pair are now quite devoted to each other and to the success of Tylwyth Narah.

=== General ===

'''Lilithium Altair (Lil-ith-ium Ah-l-tair) '''is a older Hyur midlander who is often seen in and around Ul'dah and various other parts of Eorzea. Her maternal nature and affectionate disposition leaves her well liked by most who come across her. Widowed three years before the Calamity and with her three children all grown and out of the house as of roughly a year ago, Lili finds that she's able to focus on herself and her own happiness for the first time since her teens. It's left her with many doorways of oppurtunity to choose from, some full of light and adventure while others harbor a darker purpose...

Recently, she has become the owner of a staffing company known as the Free Wing Society and adopted a little boy named Adokenai. On top of that, she has opened her heart that led to avenues she never dared dream were possible. She currently has a mate/fiance (C'kayah Tia), and has been pursuing various interests that range from people to books to trying her hand at the aetheric arts.

'''Note: Lili is able to see the aether of various individuals she meets. They manifest as light and colors, and I will sometimes whisper people OOC to determine what their aether is like so Lili can react or adjust accordingly.'''

=== Appearance ===

[[File:LiliSelf.png|none|LiliSelf.png]]

Standing at 5 fulm and 4 ilm, Lili is used to seeing the world from the shorter side of things. She used to wear her pale blonde hair long and nearly to her elbows, but almost two moons ago she chopped it rather short. Recently, she's grown it out again. Her eyes are very light green with a silvery cast to the color to give it an odd shimmering quality. While her features deceive others of her true age, she bares what marks she has with pride: Some crows feet at the corner of her eyes that show when she laughs, and similar lines at the corner of her lips that only start to show when she is smiling broadly. Having bared three children (two of which were twins), she was left with rather shapely hips and added curves that she had not possessed in her youth. One of the physical features most noticed by some who meet Lili is her rather large bust despite her small size. It usually causes her a myriad of problems, as some of her shorter Miqo'te friends and Lalafell companions sometimes get suffocated when she hugs them. The rest of her is well toned from the muscle and strenght it takes to wield her axe and fist weapons, and sunkissed from her years by the shores of Limsa or the sands of Ul'dah.

[[File:LiliandWhisper2.jpg|none|LiliandWhisper2.jpg]]

=== Behavior ===

Having gotten pregnant at fourteen and raising or looking after her children and those of others left Lili with a maternal nature that has been driven down to the core of her very being. She tends to look out for those around her, especially those that she feels a soft spot for, or those around her children's age (teens to early twenties range). Though this maternal drive of hers doesn't make her a pushover in the least, as it is possible to ignite her ire with the right buttons being pushed. Over all, she's calm and even tempered and usually the voice of reason for those around her. Ever one to play devil's advocate.

== Combat ==

=== General ===

Lili hasn't had much of a need to show her skills publically, but in the few times she's sparred with friends she's shown a great aptitude for a martial arts style of combat. Her fists, being her primary weapon, are usually not the thing to worry about. They sometimes serve as a mere distraction for her rather powerful legs to catch someone off guard. When she does happen to use her axe, it's an interesting sight since some of the weaponry are almost as big as she is. Yet she yields them with ease, using all her force with each blow. She fights with a certain level of honor, though if the situation should call for it she won't be afraid to play dirty.

=== Family ===

●Ghislan Nightwing (deceased): Lili's late husband who went MIA during an assignment against the Garleans. After no body being found over the last near decade he's been gone, everyone has safely assumed he is dead and Lili no longer mourns her first and only true love. He was also of Ala Mhigan descent and large for a Highlander (7 fulms).

''●''[[Adokenai Kodomo]]: A young Lalachild who Lili met at the Quicksand one day. Since meeting, Lili had adopted the little boy as her own. He even calls her 'Mom' regularly, and comes running to her whenever he sees her. Usually when seen together, the little boy is being held by his new mother or playing around some where near by.

''●''Khavan Nightwing: Lili's oldest child and oldest son. At nineteen years of age, nearing twenty, Khavan is engaged to a male elezen and usually bothers Lili for wedding preperation.

''●''Sarameda Silverlark: Youngest twin daughter of Lilithium Altair and Amore Silverlark.

''●''Deisarameda Silverlark: Oldest twin daughter of Lilithium Altair and Amore Silverlark.

●Rahsha Altair: A Sunseeker miqo'te that Lili's parents found when Lili was only five. Abandoned on a supply ship, no one knows her tribal origin and could never relocate birth parents. Rahsha and Lili grew apart after Lili left home, and now the two rarely see one another. A short time ago she learned what hand Rahsha had to play in the death of their parents, and while it's helped Lili understand her adopted sister more, it still hasn't mended the bridge between them.

''●''Andromeda and Reiko Altair (deceased): Lili's parents died shortly after the twins were born in a simple but tragic fire. Both were botanists who were unmatched in their knowledge of the land and its bountiful treasures.

=== Other Relationships ===

''●''[[Aedan Mathis]]: On her way to gather herbs in the Sylphlands, she came across a Hyur slumped over his faithful chocobo. Bloodied and unconscious, Lili took him to the nearby Sanctum of the Twelve and managed to save his life. While the two aren't in close contact, she sees him sporadically and keep in the back of her mind his offer to look after her children as a way of thanks for her helping him.

''●''[[Aya Foxheart]]: The Quicksand's favorite barmaid, Lili worked alongside C'kayah to help Aya with some personal problems, and offered the woman multiple safe places to hide away at should she had needed it. Afterwards, she hasn't seen much of her, though that hasn't stopped the affection she began to feel towards the woman.

''●''[[Azeiox Nelles]]: An elezen Lili met one day at the Quicksand who always seems to be looking out for her son and letting him right on his shoulder without batting an eye. Intimidating at first, she later found his more quiet nature to be comforting and enjoys spending time with him when she can. The nature of their relationship to outsiders appears friendly, though if there is anything else going on they certainly don't show it. In private they made the decision to become lovers, though the relationship never went very far and overall they are good friends.

●[[Chokho Viqqoh]]: A Keeper woman Lili met at the fishfry event the Society put on, she flirted rather heavily with Lili and even poured a cup of water on her to see her wet in her bikkini. They met up later when they found out they were neighbors, and have started a comfortable friendship. Chokho has made her attraction known, and Lili returned the sentiment. Their lives keep them busy and often apart, though they make time to spend with one another when they can. With the passage of weeks Lili's affections have softened, though she still wonders how the miqo'te woman is doing.

''●''●[[C'kayah Tia]]: A Miqo'te who once supplied Lili with alchemical materials she was having a hard time acquiring, he was smitten with her from the start and she rejected his advances over and over again. Instead, teasing him with playful retorts and equally playful skepticism. They ended up being around one another off and on as time went on, and over time Lili came to see that his feelings and gestures were indeed sincere and affectionate by his repeat efforts to prove such. They were mated and even engaged for a time, and though the details of their separation are unclear Lili doesn't seem to regard the male with any ill will though you certainly won't find her seeking him out.

''●''[[Darturu Torlan]]: Darturu and Lili were once mated, but his co-creation of the Blacktalon Vanguard made balancing work and a relationship difficult. The two eventually decided to part ways, still caring for one another, but now left to their own devices. As time has passed and seeing less and less of him, her feelings had softened to the point where romance is no longer something she entertains with the Miqo'te. They have not seen one another since she left the Vanguard, and she seems to have no desire to change that.

''●''[[Dheina Tayuun]]: A young Miqo'te she met when coming back to Ul'dah via her previous mate, Darturu. They keep in touch sporadically, and have a pleasent friendship.

●[[Graeldelon Bloodrage]]: One of the newer members of the Society, Lili doesn't know the young man very well. However she can occasionally be caught looking at him with a faint and curious little smile as well as fussing over recent wounds he suffered as part of a training exercise.

''●''●[[Kagewoe Erasus]]: Fiance of Nymira's, Kage is also one of her officers. While she is not close to the male, she is confident in his abilities to help her and Nym keep everyone in line and together. Recent events with the Society have the two walking on thin ice around one another and generally not around one another.

''●''[[Kal Numara]]: A Highlander woman who is also a friend of Lili's. Usually teasing her, and constantly referring to her as 'Mama' or 'Mama Lili'. Such teasings are usually met with Lili retaliating (playfully so).

[[Kenthy Pennyfeather|''●''Kenthy Pennyfeather]]: A miqo'te Lili met through her interractions with C'kayah and the Morbolvines, she's grown a light friendship with the woman, as well as quite a bit of respect due to the help that was given to her during her experience in the form of a Moonkeeper. Despite her sassy and slightly abrasive nature, Lili finds her pleasent. During a series of discussions involving Kenthy and C'kayah's desire to add intimacy to their current relationship, Kenthy lashed out at Lili in a way that had her feeling almost hostile towards the woman. Later on, the two women managed to patch things up and Lili gave Kenthy her blessing to be involved with C'kayah. She doesn't see the redhead regularly, but should one ask she considers her a friend.

''♥●''[[Kaiten Skyborn]]: Lili and this hyur have been involved for quite some time, and recently their relationship has grown more solid. They usually spend much of their free time together, often accompanied by Lili's adopted son Ado. They stared off as lovers with [[C'kayah Tia]] as Lili's primary, but once that relationship dwindled off Kaiten has grown to become first and foremost in Lili's heart.

''●''[[Kaohastraal Aeseroix]]:A very large roe man that was introduced to Lili via T'shina at the fish fry event. His Garlean name took her aback at first, but when they started talking he eased her mind and explained some of his story. He's admitted to having an interest in her on many levels, and they've agreed to simply get to know one another. Though it's hard to know what Lili is thinking when they're seen together. As of late, she's started helping him with a number of private matters regarding his 'health'.

''●''[[Katiti Kati]]: Lili met this Lalafell around the time she met Ado, who served alongside Toff as one of the Lalachild's unofficial guardians. She eventually joined the Society, being hired as Ado's official teacher. Lili trusts her judgement, but worries with how much she stresses over things all the time.

''●''●[[Kolhi'to Embhre]]: Creator of the Blacktalon Vanguard and Lili's former employer, Lili has known Kol for quite some time. However, they seem neither friendly nor hostile. Instead only polite when meeting or speaking in passing. More often then not Kol's grumpy attitude tends to irk Lili even if she may not always show it.

''●''[[Leon Maxwell]]: A young boy Lili met through Tenha'a, she's done her best to look out for his well being and educate him on matters he inquires about, such as love. Knowing a few tidbits about his current health and situation, she's been doing some research into what can possibly be done to help him. Between her work in the Society and his involvements in other matters, assisting him hasn't been as large of a priority. Recently, she learned that he found a cure which brought her happiness to know that perhaps now he could live a long and healthy life.

♥●[[Locke Rinannis]]: She had seen this man when he was around one of the free company houses next to Blacktalon, though never spoke to him or approached him. Later, she heard he was looking for work and offered him a job at the Society. He's one of her most quiet employees, and as a result she actively tries to drag him around the others and be social. His polite demeanor and timidity charms her, and she finds him rather attractive though she values him as a friend and workmate moreso then anything.

''●''[[Mouse Wytchwood]]: A miqo'te girl with odd origins and green hair, Lili has always regarded the girl with motherly concern and attention. From watching her from afar or explaining terms and concepts she does not easily grasp or helping with her hair. She knows enough of Mouse's backstory to keep her eye on the girl when she's able to, and to try and guide harm out of her way.

''●''[[Nymira Valeroyant]]: One of the members of the Society and its' main healer, Nym is not only a good friend of Lili's but also one of her officers to help keep the Society running smoothly.

''●''[[Rock Shattermountain]]: A Highlander Lili has recently met when helping with the Pumpkin Cafe opening night. He also is a friend of her adopted son, Ado. After a night out together, he confessed to feelings of a more romantic nature, and the two have been slowly getting to know one another from there. He is also the one that gave her a little pet fawn whom she affectionately calls Dot. As their interractions have progressed, as well as his hints and confessions to seeing Lili as a prospective wife, it left her flattered by his intense emotions. While she still cares for him, they have drifted into more of a close friendship.

●[[Tendha'a Rendha]]: A male Miqo'te whom Lili met shortly after the creation of the Vanguard. The two quickly became friends and confidants, and he is the mate of T'shina Vashka. Since Lili and C'kayah started seeing one another, neither of the two have spoken much and he never said a word when he officially left the Society with T'shina and a few others. Even after C'kayah stopped being a regular part of Lili's life, Lili shows no interest in rekindling a friendship with Tendha'a or related associates.

''●''●[[Toff Vaughn]]: One of Ado's original guardians, Lili went to Toff and Katiti before she formally adopted Ado. While she respects the man, his childish bouts of attitude test the limits of her temper, including with how he has grown the habit lately of flirting with taken women. Whether he seems to know they're taken or not.

''●''●[[Togy Brandmakt]]: A previous lover, the two seperated due to Togy's wanderings and traveling keeping them apart moreso then together. While not on bad terms, his unstable nature and her mixed responses to his off days makes their interractions a hit-or-miss.

●[[T'shina Vashka]]: A young woman Lili regards as a friend, the recent interractions Lili has had with C'kayah has strained their relationship. Afterwards, the two didn't speak for a while and had one rather large argument that Tenha'a even became part that drove Lili away emotionally. Things never fully recovered after that, and when finding out that Lili and C'kayah were still together, she resigned from the Society.

●[[U'zhan Tia]]: A Miqo'te that Lili met due to his associations with T'shina, he asked Lili to go adventuring with him. Shortly afterwards, he stopped speaking with her. Having gotten the impression he was very much like the womanizing 'Nunh' types he claimed to dislike so much, Lili has had very little desire to rekindle a friendship. With his mating to one of her employees, Liandri, she is slowly getting more accustomed to seeing the man hanging around the Society grounds.

Yet why do I have a feeling she can change if you harm someone she holds dear, especially Ado or any of her company members.." - [[Azeiox Nelles]]

*: "She has an innate talent for something. What exactly? I cannot fathom, though it makes her judge the character of individual's seemingly well. Aside from my skepticism, she's rather fair and kind-hearted, though she could easily stomp out behaviour that would be unwarranted or disrespectful." - [[Liandri Mei]]

== History/Timeline ==

[[File:BirfdayLili.jpg]]

=== 1544-1559 Childhood/adolescence ===

Born an only child, Lili had a comfortable life with her parents living in Ul'dah. Taking frequent trips to the countryside and the desert to look for new herbs and roots and other things that were in demand or that her parents needed to discover. They met a variety of people and went a variety places before Lili even learned how to walk, though their home territory was always Ul'dah and the Thanalans. Around the time Lili was just turning five, her parents decided to relocate to La Noscea and start maping and surveying the lush island terrain. While on the cargo ship to Limsa Lominsa, the Altairs discovered a tiny bundle that was wailing and screaming and covered in bloodied rags. A newborn Miqo'te child, still covered in the blood of labor pains, though with no mother in sight. No one on the ship knew where she came from, and eventually Lili's parents made her part of the family and named her Rahsha.

Time passed easily in La Noscea. Lili treasured little Rahsha as if she was a blood sister. The tail and ears were only a cute little addition Lili liked to play with. Around the time she was eight and Rahsha was barely three, a family moved in nearby from Ala Mhigo with a single child of their own. A dark skinned, blonde haired, red eyed little prankster of a boy named Ghislan Nightwing. He was immidiately taken with Lili, even as a young boy, and showed it in his typical fashion of flipping her skirts, pulling on her head, and throwing sand and mud balls at he face. This usually earned him retaliation of equal brutality by Lili, with assistance from little Rahsha while their parents looked on with affection and amusement.

The years passed without incident. The comings and goings of the outside world seemed far away from Lili. Her life consisted of her family and Ghislan, and it seemed to be all she needed. As Ghislan and Lili got older, they went from children to friends, and before long, they were fawning over one another in the typical girlish and boyish fashions. Shortly after Lili's fourteenth birthday gathering, their love for one another was too much to be contained (in their young eyes at least). Following their coupling, Lili realized she was pregnant, and the two quickly escaped into the night to find the closest Priestess of Menphina to bless a union between them. Their elopement was received with a measure of shock and surprise that was quickly welcomed by all, save for Rahsha. Feeling that her sister abandoned her, the little Miqo'te never quite outgrew such feelings.

And thus began the life of Mrs. Lilithium Nightwing.

=== 1559-1569 Lilithium Amal'thea Nightwing ===

The married life was one Lili slipped into with ease. Shortly after turning fifteen summers, she gave birth to Khavan Amadeus Nightwing, who looked more like his father then anything else. Despite being young, they were hard working with Lili spending the majority of her time as a house wife taking care of their son with the aide of both of their parents. While Rahsha was loving to a degree to Khavan, she was still distant with her sister. It was something that, while Lili mourned for the lack of emotion she got from her, she couldn't focus on too deeply and still provide the needed care for her family.

During the first few years of their marriage, Ghislan continued to grow. Taller and taller and taller, reaching well past the average height for a Highlander. While it certainly got attention in a crowd and delighted Lili as well, it caught the eye of a few mercenary groups who saw great potential. Soon, he was recruited and cycled through a few companies who paid well and the work was mostly geared towards training. It brought in enough profit that Lili and Ghislan built their family home from the ground up. A beautiful, pale stoned cottage melded with shells from the nearby shore.

Throwing a grand celebration with friends to honor the new homestead, everyone (even Lili) drank in good cheer. One man amoungst them, however, took advantage of the situation. A long time friend of the couples' who joined Ghislan as a healer in some of his fights and jobs, his poor health would be the death of him soon and they all knew it. Amore Silverlark was his name, and he was the only living member of his family. Determined to not leave this world without carrying out his family name, he guided a very intoxicated Lili to a back room to take advantage, and succeeded with getting her pregnant. Overcome by guilt, he confessed to Ghislan who nearly killed him on the spot were it not for Lili intervening. Barely able to let it pass, Ghislan agreed to curb his animosity while it was discussed on what to do. A few weeks later, Amore succumbed to his illness and passed away, leaving Lili and Ghislan with two choices: Keep the illegitimate children, or find a way to terminate the pregnancy.

Months later, Deisarameda and Sarameda Silverlark were born. In honor of Amore and Ghislan's more happy history together, they kept the surname and Ghislan raised them as his own. Sadly, they inherited their father's illness and were in poor health as children and even into their now adult life.

Shortly after the girls were born, Lili's parents died abruptly in a house fire. Mere days later, Rahsha disappeared with what little belongings she covered from the fire. To this day, Lili has rarely seen sight of her adopted sister and has heard rumors that she retreated to the Shroud to perhaps find clues to her true family.

The years passed without incident. Ghislan put aside his mercenary life to join the military efforts around La Noscea and even beyond. During one particular assignment he was doing freelance for the Immortal Flames, they were attacked by Garleans in which Ghislan was captured and taken away. There was never a body recovered, and Lili was wracked by grief for a number of years. Even with her children there as support, it slowly became accepted that Ghislan was likely dead and never returning. Her soulmate, the love of her life, the father of her children, was gone. There was no more to be done.

And so, life went on.

=== 1569/0-Present Calamity ===

Lili ended up retaking her maiden name of Altair a few years after Ghislan passed, not feeling right baring the name of her dead husband. The day of the Calamity, Lili and her three children visited the empty grave on a little cliff over looking the sea that was dedicated to Ghislan. All four watched in complete horror as the world around them was torn to bits and land and buildings became decimated. Thankfully, their home remained intact and they suffered no severe losses. Lili focused more on her alchemical talents to help locals and those in the cities while making a little extra money for herself and her family. Within the last two years, her children grew up into beautiful, capable young adults. All three starting to go their own ways to build their new lives. It left Lili in an interesting position: After almost two decades of being married, being widowed, raising children...she now had time to focus on herself. A thrilling but frightening prospect she still has difficulty comprehending to this day.

Lili spent the first few months trying to find hobbies. Interests. Even dabbling in the company of courtesans to appease some of the loneliness seeped into her heart. Money that Ghislan left behind in his passing was enough to sustain her day-to-day life, but she still felt empty. Unfulfilled. Without her soulmate, she began to wonder if she'd eventually die of a broken heart the way some songbirds did when their mates passed. During a trip out by Moraby, Lili came across a Miqo'te man named [[Kolhi'to Embhre]] who passed along a possible business proposition at his free company, Black Sun Trading. Intrigued, Lili followed through on the matter and found employment working for the Silverstars, Matthias and Althena. It gave her a new purpose and new motivation, and during that time she met and had a brief coupling with one of her coworkers named [[Togy Brandmakt]]. While things didn't last, it opened a door for her she never thought she'd try again: Dating.

Work for Lili in Black Sun was usually fairly slow, with the occasional incident breaking up the monotony of each daily routine. But the people were interesting, and many interesting occurrences happened in the Bismarck from laughter to violence. Later, it was announced that the trading company would become an academy (Black Sun Academy), and Lili became the school receptionist. She kept an eye when she could on some of the more naive members and prospective students, including a young woman named [[Mouse Wytchwood]]. Through an old lover, Lili learned of Mouse's mysterious nature and past and vowed to keep it quiet and continue to help watching the girl from afar. Her focus became the school, as well as finding ways to relieve herself of her loneliness. She took her alchemy back up again, as well as continued her parents' legacy and proficiency in botany.

More time passed with very little incident. For a period, Lili was surrounded by an influx of interested parties who wished to start relationships with her. Only one caught her interest in the end, a miqo'te man she met through Kolhi'to named [[Darturu Torlan]]. Charmed and taken in by his good manners, wit, and appearence, he soon became a regular part of her life. And soon, a significant other. Shortly after this her youngest daughter, Sarameda, became ill. Needing constant care and attention, Lili took an extended period of time to be with her daughter and away from the world. Including away from Darturu.

Shortly after Sara finally recovered, Lili heard everyone had relocated to Ul'dah to start up a new company with Kolhi'to as head of the organization. A mercenary group called the Blacktalon Vanguard, and Darturu was his partner. Lili relocated so as to help with the group, as well as be supportive of Dart. While the relationship with Darturu didn't last and they eventually parted ways, she still met many new people and still talks to quite a few even after she left the Vanguard to start her own group, the Free Wing Society. During this time she met a young lalachild named [[Adokenai Kodomo]], a resident tot at the Quicksand that seemed to be cared after by Momodi and the adventurers that inhabited the place. So taken by him, she decided to adopt the boy as her own and the announcement was made at the opening of the Pumpkin Cafe. There, she met two people: [[Rock Shattermountain]] and [[Sarial Hawke]], both of whom took a liking to the woman and her charms. They later joined the Society, along with others that Lili knew from Blacktalon and beyond.

Also during this time, she met a man named [[C'kayah Tia]] who supplied with her alchemical regents that she was having a hard time getting a hold of. The attraction between the two was almost instant, and at the end of the night Lili decided to give him a link to her personal pearl. Not expecting to hear from him for quite some time (if ever), Lili was surprised when he got a hold of her almost immediately afterwards. It set off a chain of interactions that sent them down an unexpectedly passionate path of emotions and intimacy that Lili never seemed able to push aside. Even though at the begining she was wary, he made her feel like she could take a chance. It led her to meeting even more people, like [[Kenthy Pennyfeather]] and [[Miah Polaali]], and eventually led to her and Kayah becoming mates. While their relationship was 'open' and unconventional, she also took in a lover named [[Kaiten Skyborn]] while C'kayah took in his own interests.

The Society continued to thrive, though some of her friendships suffered as a product of her relationship with C'kayah. Her long standing friendship with [[T'shina Vashka]] and [[Tenha'a Rendha]] being the primary ones, as their dislike of C'kayah and vehemence against Lili being with him led to them recently leaving the Society. While this happened, Lili remained firm in her decision to spend her future with the male. Life continued to change, and still does to this day. Though Lili and C'kayah eventually parted ways, she took the developments in stride and poured herself further into work.

'''Currently''': Lili remains working, balancing a home and professional life as best as she's able. She's usually found in Ul'dah or her company house, managing her employees or organizing relations and jobs. More often then not her time is work related save for those rare moments where she spends time quietly with her family, friends, or Kaiten. She's been out of the public eye as of late, relocating her and her son as a product of her engagement ending and getting them situated in a new home and routine.

=== General ===

'''Lilithium Altair (Lil-ith-ium Ah-l-tair) '''is a older Hyur midlander who is often seen in and around Ul'dah and various other parts of Eorzea. Her maternal nature and affectionate disposition leaves her well liked by most who come across her. Widowed three years before the Calamity and with her three children all grown and out of the house as of roughly a year ago, Lili finds that she's able to focus on herself and her own happiness for the first time since her teens. It's left her with many doorways of oppurtunity to choose from, some full of light and adventure while others harbor a darker purpose...

Recently, she has become the owner of a staffing company known as the Free Wing Society and adopted a little boy named Adokenai. On top of that, she has opened her heart that led to avenues she never dared dream were possible. She currently has a mate/fiance (C'kayah Tia), and has been pursuing various interests that range from people to books to trying her hand at the aetheric arts.

'''Note: Lili is able to see the aether of various individuals she meets. They manifest as light and colors, and I will sometimes whisper people OOC to determine what their aether is like so Lili can react or adjust accordingly.'''

=== Appearance ===

[[File:LiliSelf.png|none|LiliSelf.png]]

Standing at 5 fulm and 4 ilm, Lili is used to seeing the world from the shorter side of things. She used to wear her pale blonde hair long and nearly to her elbows, but almost two moons ago she chopped it rather short. Recently, she's grown it out again. Her eyes are very light green with a silvery cast to the color to give it an odd shimmering quality. While her features deceive others of her true age, she bares what marks she has with pride: Some crows feet at the corner of her eyes that show when she laughs, and similar lines at the corner of her lips that only start to show when she is smiling broadly. Having bared three children (two of which were twins), she was left with rather shapely hips and added curves that she had not possessed in her youth. One of the physical features most noticed by some who meet Lili is her rather large bust despite her small size. It usually causes her a myriad of problems, as some of her shorter Miqo'te friends and Lalafell companions sometimes get suffocated when she hugs them. The rest of her is well toned from the muscle and strenght it takes to wield her axe and fist weapons, and sunkissed from her years by the shores of Limsa or the sands of Ul'dah.

[[File:LiliandWhisper2.jpg|none|LiliandWhisper2.jpg]]

=== Behavior ===

Having gotten pregnant at fourteen and raising or looking after her children and those of others left Lili with a maternal nature that has been driven down to the core of her very being. She tends to look out for those around her, especially those that she feels a soft spot for, or those around her children's age (teens to early twenties range). Though this maternal drive of hers doesn't make her a pushover in the least, as it is possible to ignite her ire with the right buttons being pushed. Over all, she's calm and even tempered and usually the voice of reason for those around her. Ever one to play devil's advocate.

== Combat ==

=== General ===

Lili hasn't had much of a need to show her skills publically, but in the few times she's sparred with friends she's shown a great aptitude for a martial arts style of combat. Her fists, being her primary weapon, are usually not the thing to worry about. They sometimes serve as a mere distraction for her rather powerful legs to catch someone off guard. When she does happen to use her axe, it's an interesting sight since some of the weaponry are almost as big as she is. Yet she yields them with ease, using all her force with each blow. She fights with a certain level of honor, though if the situation should call for it she won't be afraid to play dirty.

=== Family ===

●Ghislan Nightwing (deceased): Lili's late husband who went MIA during an assignment against the Garleans. After no body being found over the last near decade he's been gone, everyone has safely assumed he is dead and Lili no longer mourns her first and only true love. He was also of Ala Mhigan descent and large for a Highlander (7 fulms).

''●''[[Adokenai Kodomo]]: A young Lalachild who Lili met at the Quicksand one day. Since meeting, Lili had adopted the little boy as her own. He even calls her 'Mom' regularly, and comes running to her whenever he sees her. Usually when seen together, the little boy is being held by his new mother or playing around some where near by.

''●''Khavan Nightwing: Lili's oldest child and oldest son. At nineteen years of age, nearing twenty, Khavan is engaged to a male elezen and usually bothers Lili for wedding preperation.

''●''Sarameda Silverlark: Youngest twin daughter of Lilithium Altair and Amore Silverlark.

''●''Deisarameda Silverlark: Oldest twin daughter of Lilithium Altair and Amore Silverlark.

●Rahsha Altair: A Sunseeker miqo'te that Lili's parents found when Lili was only five. Abandoned on a supply ship, no one knows her tribal origin and could never relocate birth parents. Rahsha and Lili grew apart after Lili left home, and now the two rarely see one another. A short time ago she learned what hand Rahsha had to play in the death of their parents, and while it's helped Lili understand her adopted sister more, it still hasn't mended the bridge between them.

''●''Andromeda and Reiko Altair (deceased): Lili's parents died shortly after the twins were born in a simple but tragic fire. Both were botanists who were unmatched in their knowledge of the land and its bountiful treasures.

=== Other Relationships ===

''●''[[Aedan Mathis]]: On her way to gather herbs in the Sylphlands, she came across a Hyur slumped over his faithful chocobo. Bloodied and unconscious, Lili took him to the nearby Sanctum of the Twelve and managed to save his life. While the two aren't in close contact, she sees him sporadically and keep in the back of her mind his offer to look after her children as a way of thanks for her helping him.

''●''[[Aya Foxheart]]: The Quicksand's favorite barmaid, Lili worked alongside C'kayah to help Aya with some personal problems, and offered the woman multiple safe places to hide away at should she had needed it. Afterwards, she hasn't seen much of her, though that hasn't stopped the affection she began to feel towards the woman.

''●''[[Azeiox Nelles]]: An elezen Lili met one day at the Quicksand who always seems to be looking out for her son and letting him right on his shoulder without batting an eye. Intimidating at first, she later found his more quiet nature to be comforting and enjoys spending time with him when she can. The nature of their relationship to outsiders appears friendly, though if there is anything else going on they certainly don't show it. In private they made the decision to become lovers, though the relationship never went very far and overall they are good friends.

●[[Chokho Viqqoh]]: A Keeper woman Lili met at the fishfry event the Society put on, she flirted rather heavily with Lili and even poured a cup of water on her to see her wet in her bikkini. They met up later when they found out they were neighbors, and have started a comfortable friendship. Chokho has made her attraction known, and Lili returned the sentiment. Their lives keep them busy and often apart, though they make time to spend with one another when they can. With the passage of weeks Lili's affections have softened, though she still wonders how the miqo'te woman is doing.

''●''●[[C'kayah Tia]]: A Miqo'te who once supplied Lili with alchemical materials she was having a hard time acquiring, he was smitten with her from the start and she rejected his advances over and over again. Instead, teasing him with playful retorts and equally playful skepticism. They ended up being around one another off and on as time went on, and over time Lili came to see that his feelings and gestures were indeed sincere and affectionate by his repeat efforts to prove such. They were mated and even engaged for a time, and though the details of their separation are unclear Lili doesn't seem to regard the male with any ill will though you certainly won't find her seeking him out.

''●''[[Darturu Torlan]]: Darturu and Lili were once mated, but his co-creation of the Blacktalon Vanguard made balancing work and a relationship difficult. The two eventually decided to part ways, still caring for one another, but now left to their own devices. As time has passed and seeing less and less of him, her feelings had softened to the point where romance is no longer something she entertains with the Miqo'te. They have not seen one another since she left the Vanguard, and she seems to have no desire to change that.

''●''[[Dheina Tayuun]]: A young Miqo'te she met when coming back to Ul'dah via her previous mate, Darturu. They keep in touch sporadically, and have a pleasent friendship.

●[[Graeldelon Bloodrage]]: One of the newer members of the Society, Lili doesn't know the young man very well. However she can occasionally be caught looking at him with a faint and curious little smile as well as fussing over recent wounds he suffered as part of a training exercise.

''●''●[[Kagewoe Erasus]]: Fiance of Nymira's, Kage is also one of her officers. While she is not close to the male, she is confident in his abilities to help her and Nym keep everyone in line and together. Recent events with the Society have the two walking on thin ice around one another and generally not around one another.

''●''[[Kal Numara]]: A Highlander woman who is also a friend of Lili's. Usually teasing her, and constantly referring to her as 'Mama' or 'Mama Lili'. Such teasings are usually met with Lili retaliating (playfully so).

[[Kenthy Pennyfeather|''●''Kenthy Pennyfeather]]: A miqo'te Lili met through her interractions with C'kayah and the Morbolvines, she's grown a light friendship with the woman, as well as quite a bit of respect due to the help that was given to her during her experience in the form of a Moonkeeper. Despite her sassy and slightly abrasive nature, Lili finds her pleasent. During a series of discussions involving Kenthy and C'kayah's desire to add intimacy to their current relationship, Kenthy lashed out at Lili in a way that had her feeling almost hostile towards the woman. Later on, the two women managed to patch things up and Lili gave Kenthy her blessing to be involved with C'kayah. She doesn't see the redhead regularly, but should one ask she considers her a friend.

''♥●''[[Kaiten Skyborn]]: Lili and this hyur have been involved for quite some time, and recently their relationship has grown more solid. They usually spend much of their free time together, often accompanied by Lili's adopted son Ado. They stared off as lovers with [[C'kayah Tia]] as Lili's primary, but once that relationship dwindled off Kaiten has grown to become first and foremost in Lili's heart.

''●''[[Kaohastraal Aeseroix]]:A very large roe man that was introduced to Lili via T'shina at the fish fry event. His Garlean name took her aback at first, but when they started talking he eased her mind and explained some of his story. He's admitted to having an interest in her on many levels, and they've agreed to simply get to know one another. Though it's hard to know what Lili is thinking when they're seen together. As of late, she's started helping him with a number of private matters regarding his 'health'.

''●''[[Katiti Kati]]: Lili met this Lalafell around the time she met Ado, who served alongside Toff as one of the Lalachild's unofficial guardians. She eventually joined the Society, being hired as Ado's official teacher. Lili trusts her judgement, but worries with how much she stresses over things all the time.

''●''●[[Kolhi'to Embhre]]: Creator of the Blacktalon Vanguard and Lili's former employer, Lili has known Kol for quite some time. However, they seem neither friendly nor hostile. Instead only polite when meeting or speaking in passing. More often then not Kol's grumpy attitude tends to irk Lili even if she may not always show it.

''●''[[Leon Maxwell]]: A young boy Lili met through Tenha'a, she's done her best to look out for his well being and educate him on matters he inquires about, such as love. Knowing a few tidbits about his current health and situation, she's been doing some research into what can possibly be done to help him. Between her work in the Society and his involvements in other matters, assisting him hasn't been as large of a priority. Recently, she learned that he found a cure which brought her happiness to know that perhaps now he could live a long and healthy life.

♥●[[Locke Rinannis]]: She had seen this man when he was around one of the free company houses next to Blacktalon, though never spoke to him or approached him. Later, she heard he was looking for work and offered him a job at the Society. He's one of her most quiet employees, and as a result she actively tries to drag him around the others and be social. His polite demeanor and timidity charms her, and she finds him rather attractive though she values him as a friend and workmate moreso then anything.

''●''[[Mouse Wytchwood]]: A miqo'te girl with odd origins and green hair, Lili has always regarded the girl with motherly concern and attention. From watching her from afar or explaining terms and concepts she does not easily grasp or helping with her hair. She knows enough of Mouse's backstory to keep her eye on the girl when she's able to, and to try and guide harm out of her way.

''●''[[Nymira Valeroyant]]: One of the members of the Society and its' main healer, Nym is not only a good friend of Lili's but also one of her officers to help keep the Society running smoothly.

''●''[[Rock Shattermountain]]: A Highlander Lili has recently met when helping with the Pumpkin Cafe opening night. He also is a friend of her adopted son, Ado. After a night out together, he confessed to feelings of a more romantic nature, and the two have been slowly getting to know one another from there. He is also the one that gave her a little pet fawn whom she affectionately calls Dot. As their interractions have progressed, as well as his hints and confessions to seeing Lili as a prospective wife, it left her flattered by his intense emotions. While she still cares for him, they have drifted into more of a close friendship.

●[[Tendha'a Rendha]]: A male Miqo'te whom Lili met shortly after the creation of the Vanguard. The two quickly became friends and confidants, and he is the mate of T'shina Vashka. Since Lili and C'kayah started seeing one another, neither of the two have spoken much and he never said a word when he officially left the Society with T'shina and a few others. Even after C'kayah stopped being a regular part of Lili's life, Lili shows no interest in rekindling a friendship with Tendha'a or related associates.

''●''●[[Toff Vaughn]]: One of Ado's original guardians, Lili went to Toff and Katiti before she formally adopted Ado. While she respects the man, his childish bouts of attitude test the limits of her temper, including with how he has grown the habit lately of flirting with taken women. Whether he seems to know they're taken or not.

''●''●[[Togy Brandmakt]]: A previous lover, the two seperated due to Togy's wanderings and traveling keeping them apart moreso then together. While not on bad terms, his unstable nature and her mixed responses to his off days makes their interractions a hit-or-miss.

●[[T'shina Vashka]]: A young woman Lili regards as a friend, the recent interractions Lili has had with C'kayah has strained their relationship. Afterwards, the two didn't speak for a while and had one rather large argument that Tenha'a even became part that drove Lili away emotionally. Things never fully recovered after that, and when finding out that Lili and C'kayah were still together, she resigned from the Society.

●[[U'zhan Tia]]: A Miqo'te that Lili met due to his associations with T'shina, he asked Lili to go adventuring with him. Shortly afterwards, he stopped speaking with her. Having gotten the impression he was very much like the womanizing 'Nunh' types he claimed to dislike so much, Lili has had very little desire to rekindle a friendship. With his mating to one of her employees, Liandri, she is slowly getting more accustomed to seeing the man hanging around the Society grounds.

== History/Timeline ==

[[File:BirfdayLili.jpg]]

=== 1544-1559 Childhood/adolescence ===

Born an only child, Lili had a comfortable life with her parents living in Ul'dah. Taking frequent trips to the countryside and the desert to look for new herbs and roots and other things that were in demand or that her parents needed to discover. They met a variety of people and went a variety places before Lili even learned how to walk, though their home territory was always Ul'dah and the Thanalans. Around the time Lili was just turning five, her parents decided to relocate to La Noscea and start maping and surveying the lush island terrain. While on the cargo ship to Limsa Lominsa, the Altairs discovered a tiny bundle that was wailing and screaming and covered in bloodied rags. A newborn Miqo'te child, still covered in the blood of labor pains, though with no mother in sight. No one on the ship knew where she came from, and eventually Lili's parents made her part of the family and named her Rahsha.

Time passed easily in La Noscea. Lili treasured little Rahsha as if she was a blood sister. The tail and ears were only a cute little addition Lili liked to play with. Around the time she was eight and Rahsha was barely three, a family moved in nearby from Ala Mhigo with a single child of their own. A dark skinned, blonde haired, red eyed little prankster of a boy named Ghislan Nightwing. He was immidiately taken with Lili, even as a young boy, and showed it in his typical fashion of flipping her skirts, pulling on her head, and throwing sand and mud balls at he face. This usually earned him retaliation of equal brutality by Lili, with assistance from little Rahsha while their parents looked on with affection and amusement.

The years passed without incident. The comings and goings of the outside world seemed far away from Lili. Her life consisted of her family and Ghislan, and it seemed to be all she needed. As Ghislan and Lili got older, they went from children to friends, and before long, they were fawning over one another in the typical girlish and boyish fashions. Shortly after Lili's fourteenth birthday gathering, their love for one another was too much to be contained (in their young eyes at least). Following their coupling, Lili realized she was pregnant, and the two quickly escaped into the night to find the closest Priestess of Menphina to bless a union between them. Their elopement was received with a measure of shock and surprise that was quickly welcomed by all, save for Rahsha. Feeling that her sister abandoned her, the little Miqo'te never quite outgrew such feelings.

And thus began the life of Mrs. Lilithium Nightwing.

=== 1559-1569 Lilithium Amal'thea Nightwing ===

The married life was one Lili slipped into with ease. Shortly after turning fifteen summers, she gave birth to Khavan Amadeus Nightwing, who looked more like his father then anything else. Despite being young, they were hard working with Lili spending the majority of her time as a house wife taking care of their son with the aide of both of their parents. While Rahsha was loving to a degree to Khavan, she was still distant with her sister. It was something that, while Lili mourned for the lack of emotion she got from her, she couldn't focus on too deeply and still provide the needed care for her family.

During the first few years of their marriage, Ghislan continued to grow. Taller and taller and taller, reaching well past the average height for a Highlander. While it certainly got attention in a crowd and delighted Lili as well, it caught the eye of a few mercenary groups who saw great potential. Soon, he was recruited and cycled through a few companies who paid well and the work was mostly geared towards training. It brought in enough profit that Lili and Ghislan built their family home from the ground up. A beautiful, pale stoned cottage melded with shells from the nearby shore.

Throwing a grand celebration with friends to honor the new homestead, everyone (even Lili) drank in good cheer. One man amoungst them, however, took advantage of the situation. A long time friend of the couples' who joined Ghislan as a healer in some of his fights and jobs, his poor health would be the death of him soon and they all knew it. Amore Silverlark was his name, and he was the only living member of his family. Determined to not leave this world without carrying out his family name, he guided a very intoxicated Lili to a back room to take advantage, and succeeded with getting her pregnant. Overcome by guilt, he confessed to Ghislan who nearly killed him on the spot were it not for Lili intervening. Barely able to let it pass, Ghislan agreed to curb his animosity while it was discussed on what to do. A few weeks later, Amore succumbed to his illness and passed away, leaving Lili and Ghislan with two choices: Keep the illegitimate children, or find a way to terminate the pregnancy.

Months later, Deisarameda and Sarameda Silverlark were born. In honor of Amore and Ghislan's more happy history together, they kept the surname and Ghislan raised them as his own. Sadly, they inherited their father's illness and were in poor health as children and even into their now adult life.

Shortly after the girls were born, Lili's parents died abruptly in a house fire. Mere days later, Rahsha disappeared with what little belongings she covered from the fire. To this day, Lili has rarely seen sight of her adopted sister and has heard rumors that she retreated to the Shroud to perhaps find clues to her true family.

The years passed without incident. Ghislan put aside his mercenary life to join the military efforts around La Noscea and even beyond. During one particular assignment he was doing freelance for the Immortal Flames, they were attacked by Garleans in which Ghislan was captured and taken away. There was never a body recovered, and Lili was wracked by grief for a number of years. Even with her children there as support, it slowly became accepted that Ghislan was likely dead and never returning. Her soulmate, the love of her life, the father of her children, was gone. There was no more to be done.

And so, life went on.

=== 1569/0-Present Calamity ===

Lili ended up retaking her maiden name of Altair a few years after Ghislan passed, not feeling right baring the name of her dead husband. The day of the Calamity, Lili and her three children visited the empty grave on a little cliff over looking the sea that was dedicated to Ghislan. All four watched in complete horror as the world around them was torn to bits and land and buildings became decimated. Thankfully, their home remained intact and they suffered no severe losses. Lili focused more on her alchemical talents to help locals and those in the cities while making a little extra money for herself and her family. Within the last two years, her children grew up into beautiful, capable young adults. All three starting to go their own ways to build their new lives. It left Lili in an interesting position: After almost two decades of being married, being widowed, raising children...she now had time to focus on herself. A thrilling but frightening prospect she still has difficulty comprehending to this day.

Lili spent the first few months trying to find hobbies. Interests. Even dabbling in the company of courtesans to appease some of the loneliness seeped into her heart. Money that Ghislan left behind in his passing was enough to sustain her day-to-day life, but she still felt empty. Unfulfilled. Without her soulmate, she began to wonder if she'd eventually die of a broken heart the way some songbirds did when their mates passed. During a trip out by Moraby, Lili came across a Miqo'te man named [[Kolhi'to Embhre]] who passed along a possible business proposition at his free company, Black Sun Trading. Intrigued, Lili followed through on the matter and found employment working for the Silverstars, Matthias and Althena. It gave her a new purpose and new motivation, and during that time she met and had a brief coupling with one of her coworkers named [[Togy Brandmakt]]. While things didn't last, it opened a door for her she never thought she'd try again: Dating.

Work for Lili in Black Sun was usually fairly slow, with the occasional incident breaking up the monotony of each daily routine. But the people were interesting, and many interesting occurrences happened in the Bismarck from laughter to violence. Later, it was announced that the trading company would become an academy (Black Sun Academy), and Lili became the school receptionist. She kept an eye when she could on some of the more naive members and prospective students, including a young woman named [[Mouse Wytchwood]]. Through an old lover, Lili learned of Mouse's mysterious nature and past and vowed to keep it quiet and continue to help watching the girl from afar. Her focus became the school, as well as finding ways to relieve herself of her loneliness. She took her alchemy back up again, as well as continued her parents' legacy and proficiency in botany.

More time passed with very little incident. For a period, Lili was surrounded by an influx of interested parties who wished to start relationships with her. Only one caught her interest in the end, a miqo'te man she met through Kolhi'to named [[Darturu Torlan]]. Charmed and taken in by his good manners, wit, and appearence, he soon became a regular part of her life. And soon, a significant other. Shortly after this her youngest daughter, Sarameda, became ill. Needing constant care and attention, Lili took an extended period of time to be with her daughter and away from the world. Including away from Darturu.

Shortly after Sara finally recovered, Lili heard everyone had relocated to Ul'dah to start up a new company with Kolhi'to as head of the organization. A mercenary group called the Blacktalon Vanguard, and Darturu was his partner. Lili relocated so as to help with the group, as well as be supportive of Dart. While the relationship with Darturu didn't last and they eventually parted ways, she still met many new people and still talks to quite a few even after she left the Vanguard to start her own group, the Free Wing Society. During this time she met a young lalachild named [[Adokenai Kodomo]], a resident tot at the Quicksand that seemed to be cared after by Momodi and the adventurers that inhabited the place. So taken by him, she decided to adopt the boy as her own and the announcement was made at the opening of the Pumpkin Cafe. There, she met two people: [[Rock Shattermountain]] and [[Sarial Hawke]], both of whom took a liking to the woman and her charms. They later joined the Society, along with others that Lili knew from Blacktalon and beyond.

Also during this time, she met a man named [[C'kayah Tia]] who supplied with her alchemical regents that she was having a hard time getting a hold of. The attraction between the two was almost instant, and at the end of the night Lili decided to give him a link to her personal pearl. Not expecting to hear from him for quite some time (if ever), Lili was surprised when he got a hold of her almost immediately afterwards. It set off a chain of interactions that sent them down an unexpectedly passionate path of emotions and intimacy that Lili never seemed able to push aside. Even though at the begining she was wary, he made her feel like she could take a chance. It led her to meeting even more people, like [[Kenthy Pennyfeather]] and [[Miah Polaali]], and eventually led to her and Kayah becoming mates. While their relationship was 'open' and unconventional, she also took in a lover named [[Kaiten Skyborn]] while C'kayah took in his own interests.

The Society continued to thrive, though some of her friendships suffered as a product of her relationship with C'kayah. Her long standing friendship with [[T'shina Vashka]] and [[Tenha'a Rendha]] being the primary ones, as their dislike of C'kayah and vehemence against Lili being with him led to them recently leaving the Society. While this happened, Lili remained firm in her decision to spend her future with the male. Life continued to change, and still does to this day. Though Lili and C'kayah eventually parted ways, she took the developments in stride and poured herself further into work.

'''Currently''': Lili remains working, balancing a home and professional life as best as she's able. She's usually found in Ul'dah or her company house, managing her employees or organizing relations and jobs. More often then not her time is work related save for those rare moments where she spends time quietly with her family, friends, or Kaiten. She's been out of the public eye as of late, relocating her and her son as a product of her engagement ending and getting them situated in a new home and routine.

=== General ===

'''Lilithium Altair (Lil-ith-ium Ah-l-tair) '''is a older Hyur midlander who is often seen in and around Ul'dah and various other parts of Eorzea. Her maternal nature and affectionate disposition leaves her well liked by most who come across her. Widowed three years before the Calamity and with her three children all grown and out of the house as of roughly a year ago, Lili finds that she's able to focus on herself and her own happiness for the first time since her teens. It's left her with many doorways of oppurtunity to choose from, some full of light and adventure while others harbor a darker purpose...

Recently, she has become the owner of a staffing company known as the Free Wing Society and adopted a little boy named Adokenai. On top of that, she has opened her heart that led to avenues she never dared dream were possible. She currently has a mate/fiance (C'kayah Tia), and has been pursuing various interests that range from people to books to trying her hand at the aetheric arts.

'''Note: Lili is able to see the aether of various individuals she meets. They manifest as light and colors, and I will sometimes whisper people OOC to determine what their aether is like so Lili can react or adjust accordingly.'''

=== Appearance ===

[[File:LiliSelf.png|none|LiliSelf.png]]

Standing at 5 fulm and 4 ilm, Lili is used to seeing the world from the shorter side of things. She used to wear her pale blonde hair long and nearly to her elbows, but almost two moons ago she chopped it rather short. Recently, she's grown it out again. Her eyes are very light green with a silvery cast to the color to give it an odd shimmering quality. While her features deceive others of her true age, she bares what marks she has with pride: Some crows feet at the corner of her eyes that show when she laughs, and similar lines at the corner of her lips that only start to show when she is smiling broadly. Having bared three children (two of which were twins), she was left with rather shapely hips and added curves that she had not possessed in her youth. One of the physical features most noticed by some who meet Lili is her rather large bust despite her small size. It usually causes her a myriad of problems, as some of her shorter Miqo'te friends and Lalafell companions sometimes get suffocated when she hugs them. The rest of her is well toned from the muscle and strenght it takes to wield her axe and fist weapons, and sunkissed from her years by the shores of Limsa or the sands of Ul'dah.

[[File:LiliandWhisper2.jpg|none|LiliandWhisper2.jpg]]

=== Behavior ===

Having gotten pregnant at fourteen and raising or looking after her children and those of others left Lili with a maternal nature that has been driven down to the core of her very being. She tends to look out for those around her, especially those that she feels a soft spot for, or those around her children's age (teens to early twenties range). Though this maternal drive of hers doesn't make her a pushover in the least, as it is possible to ignite her ire with the right buttons being pushed. Over all, she's calm and even tempered and usually the voice of reason for those around her. Ever one to play devil's advocate.

== Combat ==

=== General ===

Lili hasn't had much of a need to show her skills publically, but in the few times she's sparred with friends she's shown a great aptitude for a martial arts style of combat. Her fists, being her primary weapon, are usually not the thing to worry about. They sometimes serve as a mere distraction for her rather powerful legs to catch someone off guard. When she does happen to use her axe, it's an interesting sight since some of the weaponry are almost as big as she is. Yet she yields them with ease, using all her force with each blow. She fights with a certain level of honor, though if the situation should call for it she won't be afraid to play dirty.

== Tendencies ==

[[File:LiliandAdo3.png]]

Always one for trying and learning new things, Lili spends much of her idle time active in one way or another. If she's not relaxing in the Quicksand or the occasional visit to the Drowning Wench, she'll be home or out and about doing some kind of activity or socializing.

=== Family ===

●Ghislan Nightwing (deceased): Lili's late husband who went MIA during an assignment against the Garleans. After no body being found over the last near decade he's been gone, everyone has safely assumed he is dead and Lili no longer mourns her first and only true love. He was also of Ala Mhigan descent and large for a Highlander (7 fulms).

''●''[[Adokenai Kodomo]]: A young Lalachild who Lili met at the Quicksand one day. Since meeting, Lili had adopted the little boy as her own. He even calls her 'Mom' regularly, and comes running to her whenever he sees her. Usually when seen together, the little boy is being held by his new mother or playing around some where near by.

''●''Khavan Nightwing: Lili's oldest child and oldest son. At nineteen years of age, nearing twenty, Khavan is engaged to a male elezen and usually bothers Lili for wedding preperation.

''●''Sarameda Silverlark: Youngest twin daughter of Lilithium Altair and Amore Silverlark.

''●''Deisarameda Silverlark: Oldest twin daughter of Lilithium Altair and Amore Silverlark.

●Rahsha Altair: A Sunseeker miqo'te that Lili's parents found when Lili was only five. Abandoned on a supply ship, no one knows her tribal origin and could never relocate birth parents. Rahsha and Lili grew apart after Lili left home, and now the two rarely see one another. A short time ago she learned what hand Rahsha had to play in the death of their parents, and while it's helped Lili understand her adopted sister more, it still hasn't mended the bridge between them.

''●''Andromeda and Reiko Altair (deceased): Lili's parents died shortly after the twins were born in a simple but tragic fire. Both were botanists who were unmatched in their knowledge of the land and its bountiful treasures.

=== Other Relationships ===

''●''[[Aedan Mathis]]: On her way to gather herbs in the Sylphlands, she came across a Hyur slumped over his faithful chocobo. Bloodied and unconscious, Lili took him to the nearby Sanctum of the Twelve and managed to save his life. While the two aren't in close contact, she sees him sporadically and keep in the back of her mind his offer to look after her children as a way of thanks for her helping him.

''●''[[Aya Foxheart]]: The Quicksand's favorite barmaid, Lili worked alongside C'kayah to help Aya with some personal problems, and offered the woman multiple safe places to hide away at should she had needed it. Afterwards, she hasn't seen much of her, though that hasn't stopped the affection she began to feel towards the woman.

''●''[[Azeiox Nelles]]: An elezen Lili met one day at the Quicksand who always seems to be looking out for her son and letting him right on his shoulder without batting an eye. Intimidating at first, she later found his more quiet nature to be comforting and enjoys spending time with him when she can. The nature of their relationship to outsiders appears friendly, though if there is anything else going on they certainly don't show it. In private they made the decision to become lovers, though the relationship never went very far and overall they are good friends.

●[[Chokho Viqqoh]]: A Keeper woman Lili met at the fishfry event the Society put on, she flirted rather heavily with Lili and even poured a cup of water on her to see her wet in her bikkini. They met up later when they found out they were neighbors, and have started a comfortable friendship. Chokho has made her attraction known, and Lili returned the sentiment. Their lives keep them busy and often apart, though they make time to spend with one another when they can. With the passage of weeks Lili's affections have softened, though she still wonders how the miqo'te woman is doing.

''●''●[[C'kayah Tia]]: A Miqo'te who once supplied Lili with alchemical materials she was having a hard time acquiring, he was smitten with her from the start and she rejected his advances over and over again. Instead, teasing him with playful retorts and equally playful skepticism. They ended up being around one another off and on as time went on, and over time Lili came to see that his feelings and gestures were indeed sincere and affectionate by his repeat efforts to prove such. They were mated and even engaged for a time, and though the details of their separation are unclear Lili doesn't seem to regard the male with any ill will though you certainly won't find her seeking him out.

''●''[[Darturu Torlan]]: Darturu and Lili were once mated, but his co-creation of the Blacktalon Vanguard made balancing work and a relationship difficult. The two eventually decided to part ways, still caring for one another, but now left to their own devices. As time has passed and seeing less and less of him, her feelings had softened to the point where romance is no longer something she entertains with the Miqo'te. They have not seen one another since she left the Vanguard, and she seems to have no desire to change that.

''●''[[Dheina Tayuun]]: A young Miqo'te she met when coming back to Ul'dah via her previous mate, Darturu. They keep in touch sporadically, and have a pleasent friendship.

●[[Graeldelon Bloodrage]]: One of the newer members of the Society, Lili doesn't know the young man very well. However she can occasionally be caught looking at him with a faint and curious little smile as well as fussing over recent wounds he suffered as part of a training exercise.

''●''●[[Kagewoe Erasus]]: Fiance of Nymira's, Kage is also one of her officers. While she is not close to the male, she is confident in his abilities to help her and Nym keep everyone in line and together. Recent events with the Society have the two walking on thin ice around one another and generally not around one another.

''●''[[Kal Numara]]: A Highlander woman who is also a friend of Lili's. Usually teasing her, and constantly referring to her as 'Mama' or 'Mama Lili'. Such teasings are usually met with Lili retaliating (playfully so).

[[Kenthy Pennyfeather|''●''Kenthy Pennyfeather]]: A miqo'te Lili met through her interractions with C'kayah and the Morbolvines, she's grown a light friendship with the woman, as well as quite a bit of respect due to the help that was given to her during her experience in the form of a Moonkeeper. Despite her sassy and slightly abrasive nature, Lili finds her pleasent. During a series of discussions involving Kenthy and C'kayah's desire to add intimacy to their current relationship, Kenthy lashed out at Lili in a way that had her feeling almost hostile towards the woman. Later on, the two women managed to patch things up and Lili gave Kenthy her blessing to be involved with C'kayah. She doesn't see the redhead regularly, but should one ask she considers her a friend.

''♥●''[[Kaiten Skyborn]]: Lili and this hyur have been involved for quite some time, and recently their relationship has grown more solid. They usually spend much of their free time together, often accompanied by Lili's adopted son Ado. They stared off as lovers with [[C'kayah Tia]] as Lili's primary, but once that relationship dwindled off Kaiten has grown to become first and foremost in Lili's heart.

''●''[[Kaohastraal Aeseroix]]:A very large roe man that was introduced to Lili via T'shina at the fish fry event. His Garlean name took her aback at first, but when they started talking he eased her mind and explained some of his story. He's admitted to having an interest in her on many levels, and they've agreed to simply get to know one another. Though it's hard to know what Lili is thinking when they're seen together. As of late, she's started helping him with a number of private matters regarding his 'health'.

''●''[[Katiti Kati]]: Lili met this Lalafell around the time she met Ado, who served alongside Toff as one of the Lalachild's unofficial guardians. She eventually joined the Society, being hired as Ado's official teacher. Lili trusts her judgement, but worries with how much she stresses over things all the time.

''●''●[[Kolhi'to Embhre]]: Creator of the Blacktalon Vanguard and Lili's former employer, Lili has known Kol for quite some time. However, they seem neither friendly nor hostile. Instead only polite when meeting or speaking in passing. More often then not Kol's grumpy attitude tends to irk Lili even if she may not always show it.

''●''[[Leon Maxwell]]: A young boy Lili met through Tenha'a, she's done her best to look out for his well being and educate him on matters he inquires about, such as love. Knowing a few tidbits about his current health and situation, she's been doing some research into what can possibly be done to help him. Between her work in the Society and his involvements in other matters, assisting him hasn't been as large of a priority. Recently, she learned that he found a cure which brought her happiness to know that perhaps now he could live a long and healthy life.

♥●[[Locke Rinannis]]: She had seen this man when he was around one of the free company houses next to Blacktalon, though never spoke to him or approached him. Later, she heard he was looking for work and offered him a job at the Society. He's one of her most quiet employees, and as a result she actively tries to drag him around the others and be social. His polite demeanor and timidity charms her, and she finds him rather attractive though she values him as a friend and workmate moreso then anything.

''●''[[Mouse Wytchwood]]: A miqo'te girl with odd origins and green hair, Lili has always regarded the girl with motherly concern and attention. From watching her from afar or explaining terms and concepts she does not easily grasp or helping with her hair. She knows enough of Mouse's backstory to keep her eye on the girl when she's able to, and to try and guide harm out of her way.

''●''[[Nymira Valeroyant]]: One of the members of the Society and its' main healer, Nym is not only a good friend of Lili's but also one of her officers to help keep the Society running smoothly.

''●''[[Rock Shattermountain]]: A Highlander Lili has recently met when helping with the Pumpkin Cafe opening night. He also is a friend of her adopted son, Ado. After a night out together, he confessed to feelings of a more romantic nature, and the two have been slowly getting to know one another from there. He is also the one that gave her a little pet fawn whom she affectionately calls Dot. As their interractions have progressed, as well as his hints and confessions to seeing Lili as a prospective wife, it left her flattered by his intense emotions. While she still cares for him, they have drifted into more of a close friendship.

●[[Tendha'a Rendha]]: A male Miqo'te whom Lili met shortly after the creation of the Vanguard. The two quickly became friends and confidants, and he is the mate of T'shina Vashka. Since Lili and C'kayah started seeing one another, neither of the two have spoken much and he never said a word when he officially left the Society with T'shina and a few others. Even after C'kayah stopped being a regular part of Lili's life, Lili shows no interest in rekindling a friendship with Tendha'a or related associates.

''●''●[[Toff Vaughn]]: One of Ado's original guardians, Lili went to Toff and Katiti before she formally adopted Ado. While she respects the man, his childish bouts of attitude test the limits of her temper, including with how he has grown the habit lately of flirting with taken women. Whether he seems to know they're taken or not.

''●''●[[Togy Brandmakt]]: A previous lover, the two seperated due to Togy's wanderings and traveling keeping them apart moreso then together. While not on bad terms, his unstable nature and her mixed responses to his off days makes their interractions a hit-or-miss.

●[[T'shina Vashka]]: A young woman Lili regards as a friend, the recent interractions Lili has had with C'kayah has strained their relationship. Afterwards, the two didn't speak for a while and had one rather large argument that Tenha'a even became part that drove Lili away emotionally. Things never fully recovered after that, and when finding out that Lili and C'kayah were still together, she resigned from the Society.

●[[U'zhan Tia]]: A Miqo'te that Lili met due to his associations with T'shina, he asked Lili to go adventuring with him. Shortly afterwards, he stopped speaking with her. Having gotten the impression he was very much like the womanizing 'Nunh' types he claimed to dislike so much, Lili has had very little desire to rekindle a friendship. With his mating to one of her employees, Liandri, she is slowly getting more accustomed to seeing the man hanging around the Society grounds.

== History/Timeline ==

[[File:BirfdayLili.jpg]]

=== 1544-1559 Childhood/adolescence ===

Born an only child, Lili had a comfortable life with her parents living in Ul'dah. Taking frequent trips to the countryside and the desert to look for new herbs and roots and other things that were in demand or that her parents needed to discover. They met a variety of people and went a variety places before Lili even learned how to walk, though their home territory was always Ul'dah and the Thanalans. Around the time Lili was just turning five, her parents decided to relocate to La Noscea and start maping and surveying the lush island terrain. While on the cargo ship to Limsa Lominsa, the Altairs discovered a tiny bundle that was wailing and screaming and covered in bloodied rags. A newborn Miqo'te child, still covered in the blood of labor pains, though with no mother in sight. No one on the ship knew where she came from, and eventually Lili's parents made her part of the family and named her Rahsha.

Time passed easily in La Noscea. Lili treasured little Rahsha as if she was a blood sister. The tail and ears were only a cute little addition Lili liked to play with. Around the time she was eight and Rahsha was barely three, a family moved in nearby from Ala Mhigo with a single child of their own. A dark skinned, blonde haired, red eyed little prankster of a boy named Ghislan Nightwing. He was immidiately taken with Lili, even as a young boy, and showed it in his typical fashion of flipping her skirts, pulling on her head, and throwing sand and mud balls at he face. This usually earned him retaliation of equal brutality by Lili, with assistance from little Rahsha while their parents looked on with affection and amusement.

The years passed without incident. The comings and goings of the outside world seemed far away from Lili. Her life consisted of her family and Ghislan, and it seemed to be all she needed. As Ghislan and Lili got older, they went from children to friends, and before long, they were fawning over one another in the typical girlish and boyish fashions. Shortly after Lili's fourteenth birthday gathering, their love for one another was too much to be contained (in their young eyes at least). Following their coupling, Lili realized she was pregnant, and the two quickly escaped into the night to find the closest Priestess of Menphina to bless a union between them. Their elopement was received with a measure of shock and surprise that was quickly welcomed by all, save for Rahsha. Feeling that her sister abandoned her, the little Miqo'te never quite outgrew such feelings.

And thus began the life of Mrs. Lilithium Nightwing.

=== 1559-1569 Lilithium Amal'thea Nightwing ===

The married life was one Lili slipped into with ease. Shortly after turning fifteen summers, she gave birth to Khavan Amadeus Nightwing, who looked more like his father then anything else. Despite being young, they were hard working with Lili spending the majority of her time as a house wife taking care of their son with the aide of both of their parents. While Rahsha was loving to a degree to Khavan, she was still distant with her sister. It was something that, while Lili mourned for the lack of emotion she got from her, she couldn't focus on too deeply and still provide the needed care for her family.

During the first few years of their marriage, Ghislan continued to grow. Taller and taller and taller, reaching well past the average height for a Highlander. While it certainly got attention in a crowd and delighted Lili as well, it caught the eye of a few mercenary groups who saw great potential. Soon, he was recruited and cycled through a few companies who paid well and the work was mostly geared towards training. It brought in enough profit that Lili and Ghislan built their family home from the ground up. A beautiful, pale stoned cottage melded with shells from the nearby shore.

Throwing a grand celebration with friends to honor the new homestead, everyone (even Lili) drank in good cheer. One man amoungst them, however, took advantage of the situation. A long time friend of the couples' who joined Ghislan as a healer in some of his fights and jobs, his poor health would be the death of him soon and they all knew it. Amore Silverlark was his name, and he was the only living member of his family. Determined to not leave this world without carrying out his family name, he guided a very intoxicated Lili to a back room to take advantage, and succeeded with getting her pregnant. Overcome by guilt, he confessed to Ghislan who nearly killed him on the spot were it not for Lili intervening. Barely able to let it pass, Ghislan agreed to curb his animosity while it was discussed on what to do. A few weeks later, Amore succumbed to his illness and passed away, leaving Lili and Ghislan with two choices: Keep the illegitimate children, or find a way to terminate the pregnancy.

Months later, Deisarameda and Sarameda Silverlark were born. In honor of Amore and Ghislan's more happy history together, they kept the surname and Ghislan raised them as his own. Sadly, they inherited their father's illness and were in poor health as children and even into their now adult life.

Shortly after the girls were born, Lili's parents died abruptly in a house fire. Mere days later, Rahsha disappeared with what little belongings she covered from the fire. To this day, Lili has rarely seen sight of her adopted sister and has heard rumors that she retreated to the Shroud to perhaps find clues to her true family.

The years passed without incident. Ghislan put aside his mercenary life to join the military efforts around La Noscea and even beyond. During one particular assignment he was doing freelance for the Immortal Flames, they were attacked by Garleans in which Ghislan was captured and taken away. There was never a body recovered, and Lili was wracked by grief for a number of years. Even with her children there as support, it slowly became accepted that Ghislan was likely dead and never returning. Her soulmate, the love of her life, the father of her children, was gone. There was no more to be done.

And so, life went on.

=== 1569/0-Present Calamity ===

Lili ended up retaking her maiden name of Altair a few years after Ghislan passed, not feeling right baring the name of her dead husband. The day of the Calamity, Lili and her three children visited the empty grave on a little cliff over looking the sea that was dedicated to Ghislan. All four watched in complete horror as the world around them was torn to bits and land and buildings became decimated. Thankfully, their home remained intact and they suffered no severe losses. Lili focused more on her alchemical talents to help locals and those in the cities while making a little extra money for herself and her family. Within the last two years, her children grew up into beautiful, capable young adults. All three starting to go their own ways to build their new lives. It left Lili in an interesting position: After almost two decades of being married, being widowed, raising children...she now had time to focus on herself. A thrilling but frightening prospect she still has difficulty comprehending to this day.

Lili spent the first few months trying to find hobbies. Interests. Even dabbling in the company of courtesans to appease some of the loneliness seeped into her heart. Money that Ghislan left behind in his passing was enough to sustain her day-to-day life, but she still felt empty. Unfulfilled. Without her soulmate, she began to wonder if she'd eventually die of a broken heart the way some songbirds did when their mates passed. During a trip out by Moraby, Lili came across a Miqo'te man named [[Kolhi'to Embhre]] who passed along a possible business proposition at his free company, Black Sun Trading. Intrigued, Lili followed through on the matter and found employment working for the Silverstars, Matthias and Althena. It gave her a new purpose and new motivation, and during that time she met and had a brief coupling with one of her coworkers named [[Togy Brandmakt]]. While things didn't last, it opened a door for her she never thought she'd try again: Dating.

Work for Lili in Black Sun was usually fairly slow, with the occasional incident breaking up the monotony of each daily routine. But the people were interesting, and many interesting occurrences happened in the Bismarck from laughter to violence. Later, it was announced that the trading company would become an academy (Black Sun Academy), and Lili became the school receptionist. She kept an eye when she could on some of the more naive members and prospective students, including a young woman named [[Mouse Wytchwood]]. Through an old lover, Lili learned of Mouse's mysterious nature and past and vowed to keep it quiet and continue to help watching the girl from afar. Her focus became the school, as well as finding ways to relieve herself of her loneliness. She took her alchemy back up again, as well as continued her parents' legacy and proficiency in botany.

More time passed with very little incident. For a period, Lili was surrounded by an influx of interested parties who wished to start relationships with her. Only one caught her interest in the end, a miqo'te man she met through Kolhi'to named [[Darturu Torlan]]. Charmed and taken in by his good manners, wit, and appearence, he soon became a regular part of her life. And soon, a significant other. Shortly after this her youngest daughter, Sarameda, became ill. Needing constant care and attention, Lili took an extended period of time to be with her daughter and away from the world. Including away from Darturu.

Shortly after Sara finally recovered, Lili heard everyone had relocated to Ul'dah to start up a new company with Kolhi'to as head of the organization. A mercenary group called the Blacktalon Vanguard, and Darturu was his partner. Lili relocated so as to help with the group, as well as be supportive of Dart. While the relationship with Darturu didn't last and they eventually parted ways, she still met many new people and still talks to quite a few even after she left the Vanguard to start her own group, the Free Wing Society. During this time she met a young lalachild named [[Adokenai Kodomo]], a resident tot at the Quicksand that seemed to be cared after by Momodi and the adventurers that inhabited the place. So taken by him, she decided to adopt the boy as her own and the announcement was made at the opening of the Pumpkin Cafe. There, she met two people: [[Rock Shattermountain]] and [[Sarial Hawke]], both of whom took a liking to the woman and her charms. They later joined the Society, along with others that Lili knew from Blacktalon and beyond.

Also during this time, she met a man named [[C'kayah Tia]] who supplied with her alchemical regents that she was having a hard time getting a hold of. The attraction between the two was almost instant, and at the end of the night Lili decided to give him a link to her personal pearl. Not expecting to hear from him for quite some time (if ever), Lili was surprised when he got a hold of her almost immediately afterwards. It set off a chain of interactions that sent them down an unexpectedly passionate path of emotions and intimacy that Lili never seemed able to push aside. Even though at the begining she was wary, he made her feel like she could take a chance. It led her to meeting even more people, like [[Kenthy Pennyfeather]] and [[Miah Polaali]], and eventually led to her and Kayah becoming mates. While their relationship was 'open' and unconventional, she also took in a lover named [[Kaiten Skyborn]] while C'kayah took in his own interests.

The Society continued to thrive, though some of her friendships suffered as a product of her relationship with C'kayah. Her long standing friendship with [[T'shina Vashka]] and [[Tenha'a Rendha]] being the primary ones, as their dislike of C'kayah and vehemence against Lili being with him led to them recently leaving the Society. While this happened, Lili remained firm in her decision to spend her future with the male. Life continued to change, and still does to this day. Though Lili and C'kayah eventually parted ways, she took the developments in stride and poured herself further into work.

'''Currently''': Lili remains working, balancing a home and professional life as best as she's able. She's usually found in Ul'dah or her company house, managing her employees or organizing relations and jobs. More often then not her time is work related save for those rare moments where she spends time quietly with her family, friends, or Kaiten. She's been out of the public eye as of late, relocating her and her son as a product of her engagement ending and getting them situated in a new home and routine.

=== General ===

'''Lilithium Altair (Lil-ith-ium Ah-l-tair) '''is a older Hyur midlander who is often seen in and around Ul'dah and various other parts of Eorzea. Her maternal nature and affectionate disposition leaves her well liked by most who come across her. Widowed three years before the Calamity and with her three children all grown and out of the house as of roughly a year ago, Lili finds that she's able to focus on herself and her own happiness for the first time since her teens. It's left her with many doorways of oppurtunity to choose from, some full of light and adventure while others harbor a darker purpose...

Recently, she has become the owner of a staffing company known as the Free Wing Society and adopted a little boy named Adokenai. On top of that, she has opened her heart that led to avenues she never dared dream were possible. She currently has a mate/fiance (C'kayah Tia), and has been pursuing various interests that range from people to books to trying her hand at the aetheric arts.

'''Note: Lili is able to see the aether of various individuals she meets. They manifest as light and colors, and I will sometimes whisper people OOC to determine what their aether is like so Lili can react or adjust accordingly.'''

=== Appearance ===

[[File:LiliSelf.png|none|LiliSelf.png]]

Standing at 5 fulm and 4 ilm, Lili is used to seeing the world from the shorter side of things. She used to wear her pale blonde hair long and nearly to her elbows, but almost two moons ago she chopped it rather short. Recently, she's grown it out again. Her eyes are very light green with a silvery cast to the color to give it an odd shimmering quality. While her features deceive others of her true age, she bares what marks she has with pride: Some crows feet at the corner of her eyes that show when she laughs, and similar lines at the corner of her lips that only start to show when she is smiling broadly. Having bared three children (two of which were twins), she was left with rather shapely hips and added curves that she had not possessed in her youth. One of the physical features most noticed by some who meet Lili is her rather large bust despite her small size. It usually causes her a myriad of problems, as some of her shorter Miqo'te friends and Lalafell companions sometimes get suffocated when she hugs them. The rest of her is well toned from the muscle and strenght it takes to wield her axe and fist weapons, and sunkissed from her years by the shores of Limsa or the sands of Ul'dah.

=== Behavior ===

Having gotten pregnant at fourteen and raising or looking after her children and those of others left Lili with a maternal nature that has been driven down to the core of her very being. She tends to look out for those around her, especially those that she feels a soft spot for, or those around her children's age (teens to early twenties range). Though this maternal drive of hers doesn't make her a pushover in the least, as it is possible to ignite her ire with the right buttons being pushed. Over all, she's calm and even tempered and usually the voice of reason for those around her. Ever one to play devil's advocate.

== Combat ==

=== General ===

Lili hasn't had much of a need to show her skills publically, but in the few times she's sparred with friends she's shown a great aptitude for a martial arts style of combat. Her fists, being her primary weapon, are usually not the thing to worry about. They sometimes serve as a mere distraction for her rather powerful legs to catch someone off guard. When she does happen to use her axe, it's an interesting sight since some of the weaponry are almost as big as she is. Yet she yields them with ease, using all her force with each blow. She fights with a certain level of honor, though if the situation should call for it she won't be afraid to play dirty.

=== Family ===

●Ghislan Nightwing (deceased): Lili's late husband who went MIA during an assignment against the Garleans. After no body being found over the last near decade he's been gone, everyone has safely assumed he is dead and Lili no longer mourns her first and only true love. He was also of Ala Mhigan descent and large for a Highlander (7 fulms).

''●''[[Adokenai Kodomo]]: A young Lalachild who Lili met at the Quicksand one day. Since meeting, Lili had adopted the little boy as her own. He even calls her 'Mom' regularly, and comes running to her whenever he sees her. Usually when seen together, the little boy is being held by his new mother or playing around some where near by.

''●''Khavan Nightwing: Lili's oldest child and oldest son. At nineteen years of age, nearing twenty, Khavan is engaged to a male elezen and usually bothers Lili for wedding preperation.

''●''Sarameda Silverlark: Youngest twin daughter of Lilithium Altair and Amore Silverlark.

''●''Deisarameda Silverlark: Oldest twin daughter of Lilithium Altair and Amore Silverlark.

●Rahsha Altair: A Sunseeker miqo'te that Lili's parents found when Lili was only five. Abandoned on a supply ship, no one knows her tribal origin and could never relocate birth parents. Rahsha and Lili grew apart after Lili left home, and now the two rarely see one another. A short time ago she learned what hand Rahsha had to play in the death of their parents, and while it's helped Lili understand her adopted sister more, it still hasn't mended the bridge between them.

''●''Andromeda and Reiko Altair (deceased): Lili's parents died shortly after the twins were born in a simple but tragic fire. Both were botanists who were unmatched in their knowledge of the land and its bountiful treasures.

=== Other Relationships ===

''●''[[Aedan Mathis]]: On her way to gather herbs in the Sylphlands, she came across a Hyur slumped over his faithful chocobo. Bloodied and unconscious, Lili took him to the nearby Sanctum of the Twelve and managed to save his life. While the two aren't in close contact, she sees him sporadically and keep in the back of her mind his offer to look after her children as a way of thanks for her helping him.

''●''[[Aya Foxheart]]: The Quicksand's favorite barmaid, Lili worked alongside C'kayah to help Aya with some personal problems, and offered the woman multiple safe places to hide away at should she had needed it. Afterwards, she hasn't seen much of her, though that hasn't stopped the affection she began to feel towards the woman.

''●''[[Azeiox Nelles]]: An elezen Lili met one day at the Quicksand who always seems to be looking out for her son and letting him right on his shoulder without batting an eye. Intimidating at first, she later found his more quiet nature to be comforting and enjoys spending time with him when she can. The nature of their relationship to outsiders appears friendly, though if there is anything else going on they certainly don't show it. In private they made the decision to become lovers, though the relationship never went very far and overall they are good friends.

●[[Chokho Viqqoh]]: A Keeper woman Lili met at the fishfry event the Society put on, she flirted rather heavily with Lili and even poured a cup of water on her to see her wet in her bikkini. They met up later when they found out they were neighbors, and have started a comfortable friendship. Chokho has made her attraction known, and Lili returned the sentiment. Their lives keep them busy and often apart, though they make time to spend with one another when they can. With the passage of weeks Lili's affections have softened, though she still wonders how the miqo'te woman is doing.

''●''●[[C'kayah Tia]]: A Miqo'te who once supplied Lili with alchemical materials she was having a hard time acquiring, he was smitten with her from the start and she rejected his advances over and over again. Instead, teasing him with playful retorts and equally playful skepticism. They ended up being around one another off and on as time went on, and over time Lili came to see that his feelings and gestures were indeed sincere and affectionate by his repeat efforts to prove such. They were mated and even engaged for a time, and though the details of their separation are unclear Lili doesn't seem to regard the male with any ill will though you certainly won't find her seeking him out.

''●''[[Darturu Torlan]]: Darturu and Lili were once mated, but his co-creation of the Blacktalon Vanguard made balancing work and a relationship difficult. The two eventually decided to part ways, still caring for one another, but now left to their own devices. As time has passed and seeing less and less of him, her feelings had softened to the point where romance is no longer something she entertains with the Miqo'te. They have not seen one another since she left the Vanguard, and she seems to have no desire to change that.

''●''[[Dheina Tayuun]]: A young Miqo'te she met when coming back to Ul'dah via her previous mate, Darturu. They keep in touch sporadically, and have a pleasent friendship.

●[[Graeldelon Bloodrage]]: One of the newer members of the Society, Lili doesn't know the young man very well. However she can occasionally be caught looking at him with a faint and curious little smile as well as fussing over recent wounds he suffered as part of a training exercise.

''●''●[[Kagewoe Erasus]]: Fiance of Nymira's, Kage is also one of her officers. While she is not close to the male, she is confident in his abilities to help her and Nym keep everyone in line and together. Recent events with the Society have the two walking on thin ice around one another and generally not around one another.

''●''[[Kal Numara]]: A Highlander woman who is also a friend of Lili's. Usually teasing her, and constantly referring to her as 'Mama' or 'Mama Lili'. Such teasings are usually met with Lili retaliating (playfully so).

[[Kenthy Pennyfeather|''●''Kenthy Pennyfeather]]: A miqo'te Lili met through her interractions with C'kayah and the Morbolvines, she's grown a light friendship with the woman, as well as quite a bit of respect due to the help that was given to her during her experience in the form of a Moonkeeper. Despite her sassy and slightly abrasive nature, Lili finds her pleasent. During a series of discussions involving Kenthy and C'kayah's desire to add intimacy to their current relationship, Kenthy lashed out at Lili in a way that had her feeling almost hostile towards the woman. Later on, the two women managed to patch things up and Lili gave Kenthy her blessing to be involved with C'kayah. She doesn't see the redhead regularly, but should one ask she considers her a friend.

''♥●''[[Kaiten Skyborn]]: Lili and this hyur have been involved for quite some time, and recently their relationship has grown more solid. They usually spend much of their free time together, often accompanied by Lili's adopted son Ado. They stared off as lovers with [[C'kayah Tia]] as Lili's primary, but once that relationship dwindled off Kaiten has grown to become first and foremost in Lili's heart.

''●''[[Kaohastraal Aeseroix]]:A very large roe man that was introduced to Lili via T'shina at the fish fry event. His Garlean name took her aback at first, but when they started talking he eased her mind and explained some of his story. He's admitted to having an interest in her on many levels, and they've agreed to simply get to know one another. Though it's hard to know what Lili is thinking when they're seen together. As of late, she's started helping him with a number of private matters regarding his 'health'.

''●''[[Katiti Kati]]: Lili met this Lalafell around the time she met Ado, who served alongside Toff as one of the Lalachild's unofficial guardians. She eventually joined the Society, being hired as Ado's official teacher. Lili trusts her judgement, but worries with how much she stresses over things all the time.

''●''●[[Kolhi'to Embhre]]: Creator of the Blacktalon Vanguard and Lili's former employer, Lili has known Kol for quite some time. However, they seem neither friendly nor hostile. Instead only polite when meeting or speaking in passing. More often then not Kol's grumpy attitude tends to irk Lili even if she may not always show it.

''●''[[Leon Maxwell]]: A young boy Lili met through Tenha'a, she's done her best to look out for his well being and educate him on matters he inquires about, such as love. Knowing a few tidbits about his current health and situation, she's been doing some research into what can possibly be done to help him. Between her work in the Society and his involvements in other matters, assisting him hasn't been as large of a priority. Recently, she learned that he found a cure which brought her happiness to know that perhaps now he could live a long and healthy life.

♥●[[Locke Rinannis]]: She had seen this man when he was around one of the free company houses next to Blacktalon, though never spoke to him or approached him. Later, she heard he was looking for work and offered him a job at the Society. He's one of her most quiet employees, and as a result she actively tries to drag him around the others and be social. His polite demeanor and timidity charms her, and she finds him rather attractive though she values him as a friend and workmate moreso then anything.

''●''[[Mouse Wytchwood]]: A miqo'te girl with odd origins and green hair, Lili has always regarded the girl with motherly concern and attention. From watching her from afar or explaining terms and concepts she does not easily grasp or helping with her hair. She knows enough of Mouse's backstory to keep her eye on the girl when she's able to, and to try and guide harm out of her way.

''●''[[Nymira Valeroyant]]: One of the members of the Society and its' main healer, Nym is not only a good friend of Lili's but also one of her officers to help keep the Society running smoothly.

''●''[[Rock Shattermountain]]: A Highlander Lili has recently met when helping with the Pumpkin Cafe opening night. He also is a friend of her adopted son, Ado. After a night out together, he confessed to feelings of a more romantic nature, and the two have been slowly getting to know one another from there. He is also the one that gave her a little pet fawn whom she affectionately calls Dot. As their interractions have progressed, as well as his hints and confessions to seeing Lili as a prospective wife, it left her flattered by his intense emotions. While she still cares for him, they have drifted into more of a close friendship.

●[[Tendha'a Rendha]]: A male Miqo'te whom Lili met shortly after the creation of the Vanguard. The two quickly became friends and confidants, and he is the mate of T'shina Vashka. Since Lili and C'kayah started seeing one another, neither of the two have spoken much and he never said a word when he officially left the Society with T'shina and a few others. Even after C'kayah stopped being a regular part of Lili's life, Lili shows no interest in rekindling a friendship with Tendha'a or related associates.

''●''●[[Toff Vaughn]]: One of Ado's original guardians, Lili went to Toff and Katiti before she formally adopted Ado. While she respects the man, his childish bouts of attitude test the limits of her temper, including with how he has grown the habit lately of flirting with taken women. Whether he seems to know they're taken or not.

''●''●[[Togy Brandmakt]]: A previous lover, the two seperated due to Togy's wanderings and traveling keeping them apart moreso then together. While not on bad terms, his unstable nature and her mixed responses to his off days makes their interractions a hit-or-miss.

●[[T'shina Vashka]]: A young woman Lili regards as a friend, the recent interractions Lili has had with C'kayah has strained their relationship. Afterwards, the two didn't speak for a while and had one rather large argument that Tenha'a even became part that drove Lili away emotionally. Things never fully recovered after that, and when finding out that Lili and C'kayah were still together, she resigned from the Society.

●[[U'zhan Tia]]: A Miqo'te that Lili met due to his associations with T'shina, he asked Lili to go adventuring with him. Shortly afterwards, he stopped speaking with her. Having gotten the impression he was very much like the womanizing 'Nunh' types he claimed to dislike so much, Lili has had very little desire to rekindle a friendship. With his mating to one of her employees, Liandri, she is slowly getting more accustomed to seeing the man hanging around the Society grounds.

== History/Timeline ==

[[File:BirfdayLili.jpg]]

=== 1544-1559 Childhood/adolescence ===

Born an only child, Lili had a comfortable life with her parents living in Ul'dah. Taking frequent trips to the countryside and the desert to look for new herbs and roots and other things that were in demand or that her parents needed to discover. They met a variety of people and went a variety places before Lili even learned how to walk, though their home territory was always Ul'dah and the Thanalans. Around the time Lili was just turning five, her parents decided to relocate to La Noscea and start maping and surveying the lush island terrain. While on the cargo ship to Limsa Lominsa, the Altairs discovered a tiny bundle that was wailing and screaming and covered in bloodied rags. A newborn Miqo'te child, still covered in the blood of labor pains, though with no mother in sight. No one on the ship knew where she came from, and eventually Lili's parents made her part of the family and named her Rahsha.

Time passed easily in La Noscea. Lili treasured little Rahsha as if she was a blood sister. The tail and ears were only a cute little addition Lili liked to play with. Around the time she was eight and Rahsha was barely three, a family moved in nearby from Ala Mhigo with a single child of their own. A dark skinned, blonde haired, red eyed little prankster of a boy named Ghislan Nightwing. He was immidiately taken with Lili, even as a young boy, and showed it in his typical fashion of flipping her skirts, pulling on her head, and throwing sand and mud balls at he face. This usually earned him retaliation of equal brutality by Lili, with assistance from little Rahsha while their parents looked on with affection and amusement.

The years passed without incident. The comings and goings of the outside world seemed far away from Lili. Her life consisted of her family and Ghislan, and it seemed to be all she needed. As Ghislan and Lili got older, they went from children to friends, and before long, they were fawning over one another in the typical girlish and boyish fashions. Shortly after Lili's fourteenth birthday gathering, their love for one another was too much to be contained (in their young eyes at least). Following their coupling, Lili realized she was pregnant, and the two quickly escaped into the night to find the closest Priestess of Menphina to bless a union between them. Their elopement was received with a measure of shock and surprise that was quickly welcomed by all, save for Rahsha. Feeling that her sister abandoned her, the little Miqo'te never quite outgrew such feelings.

And thus began the life of Mrs. Lilithium Nightwing.

=== 1559-1569 Lilithium Amal'thea Nightwing ===

The married life was one Lili slipped into with ease. Shortly after turning fifteen summers, she gave birth to Khavan Amadeus Nightwing, who looked more like his father then anything else. Despite being young, they were hard working with Lili spending the majority of her time as a house wife taking care of their son with the aide of both of their parents. While Rahsha was loving to a degree to Khavan, she was still distant with her sister. It was something that, while Lili mourned for the lack of emotion she got from her, she couldn't focus on too deeply and still provide the needed care for her family.

During the first few years of their marriage, Ghislan continued to grow. Taller and taller and taller, reaching well past the average height for a Highlander. While it certainly got attention in a crowd and delighted Lili as well, it caught the eye of a few mercenary groups who saw great potential. Soon, he was recruited and cycled through a few companies who paid well and the work was mostly geared towards training. It brought in enough profit that Lili and Ghislan built their family home from the ground up. A beautiful, pale stoned cottage melded with shells from the nearby shore.

Throwing a grand celebration with friends to honor the new homestead, everyone (even Lili) drank in good cheer. One man amoungst them, however, took advantage of the situation. A long time friend of the couples' who joined Ghislan as a healer in some of his fights and jobs, his poor health would be the death of him soon and they all knew it. Amore Silverlark was his name, and he was the only living member of his family. Determined to not leave this world without carrying out his family name, he guided a very intoxicated Lili to a back room to take advantage, and succeeded with getting her pregnant. Overcome by guilt, he confessed to Ghislan who nearly killed him on the spot were it not for Lili intervening. Barely able to let it pass, Ghislan agreed to curb his animosity while it was discussed on what to do. A few weeks later, Amore succumbed to his illness and passed away, leaving Lili and Ghislan with two choices: Keep the illegitimate children, or find a way to terminate the pregnancy.

Months later, Deisarameda and Sarameda Silverlark were born. In honor of Amore and Ghislan's more happy history together, they kept the surname and Ghislan raised them as his own. Sadly, they inherited their father's illness and were in poor health as children and even into their now adult life.

Shortly after the girls were born, Lili's parents died abruptly in a house fire. Mere days later, Rahsha disappeared with what little belongings she covered from the fire. To this day, Lili has rarely seen sight of her adopted sister and has heard rumors that she retreated to the Shroud to perhaps find clues to her true family.

The years passed without incident. Ghislan put aside his mercenary life to join the military efforts around La Noscea and even beyond. During one particular assignment he was doing freelance for the Immortal Flames, they were attacked by Garleans in which Ghislan was captured and taken away. There was never a body recovered, and Lili was wracked by grief for a number of years. Even with her children there as support, it slowly became accepted that Ghislan was likely dead and never returning. Her soulmate, the love of her life, the father of her children, was gone. There was no more to be done.

And so, life went on.

=== 1569/0-Present Calamity ===

Lili ended up retaking her maiden name of Altair a few years after Ghislan passed, not feeling right baring the name of her dead husband. The day of the Calamity, Lili and her three children visited the empty grave on a little cliff over looking the sea that was dedicated to Ghislan. All four watched in complete horror as the world around them was torn to bits and land and buildings became decimated. Thankfully, their home remained intact and they suffered no severe losses. Lili focused more on her alchemical talents to help locals and those in the cities while making a little extra money for herself and her family. Within the last two years, her children grew up into beautiful, capable young adults. All three starting to go their own ways to build their new lives. It left Lili in an interesting position: After almost two decades of being married, being widowed, raising children...she now had time to focus on herself. A thrilling but frightening prospect she still has difficulty comprehending to this day.

Lili spent the first few months trying to find hobbies. Interests. Even dabbling in the company of courtesans to appease some of the loneliness seeped into her heart. Money that Ghislan left behind in his passing was enough to sustain her day-to-day life, but she still felt empty. Unfulfilled. Without her soulmate, she began to wonder if she'd eventually die of a broken heart the way some songbirds did when their mates passed. During a trip out by Moraby, Lili came across a Miqo'te man named [[Kolhi'to Embhre]] who passed along a possible business proposition at his free company, Black Sun Trading. Intrigued, Lili followed through on the matter and found employment working for the Silverstars, Matthias and Althena. It gave her a new purpose and new motivation, and during that time she met and had a brief coupling with one of her coworkers named [[Togy Brandmakt]]. While things didn't last, it opened a door for her she never thought she'd try again: Dating.

Work for Lili in Black Sun was usually fairly slow, with the occasional incident breaking up the monotony of each daily routine. But the people were interesting, and many interesting occurrences happened in the Bismarck from laughter to violence. Later, it was announced that the trading company would become an academy (Black Sun Academy), and Lili became the school receptionist. She kept an eye when she could on some of the more naive members and prospective students, including a young woman named [[Mouse Wytchwood]]. Through an old lover, Lili learned of Mouse's mysterious nature and past and vowed to keep it quiet and continue to help watching the girl from afar. Her focus became the school, as well as finding ways to relieve herself of her loneliness. She took her alchemy back up again, as well as continued her parents' legacy and proficiency in botany.

More time passed with very little incident. For a period, Lili was surrounded by an influx of interested parties who wished to start relationships with her. Only one caught her interest in the end, a miqo'te man she met through Kolhi'to named [[Darturu Torlan]]. Charmed and taken in by his good manners, wit, and appearence, he soon became a regular part of her life. And soon, a significant other. Shortly after this her youngest daughter, Sarameda, became ill. Needing constant care and attention, Lili took an extended period of time to be with her daughter and away from the world. Including away from Darturu.

Shortly after Sara finally recovered, Lili heard everyone had relocated to Ul'dah to start up a new company with Kolhi'to as head of the organization. A mercenary group called the Blacktalon Vanguard, and Darturu was his partner. Lili relocated so as to help with the group, as well as be supportive of Dart. While the relationship with Darturu didn't last and they eventually parted ways, she still met many new people and still talks to quite a few even after she left the Vanguard to start her own group, the Free Wing Society. During this time she met a young lalachild named [[Adokenai Kodomo]], a resident tot at the Quicksand that seemed to be cared after by Momodi and the adventurers that inhabited the place. So taken by him, she decided to adopt the boy as her own and the announcement was made at the opening of the Pumpkin Cafe. There, she met two people: [[Rock Shattermountain]] and [[Sarial Hawke]], both of whom took a liking to the woman and her charms. They later joined the Society, along with others that Lili knew from Blacktalon and beyond.

Also during this time, she met a man named [[C'kayah Tia]] who supplied with her alchemical regents that she was having a hard time getting a hold of. The attraction between the two was almost instant, and at the end of the night Lili decided to give him a link to her personal pearl. Not expecting to hear from him for quite some time (if ever), Lili was surprised when he got a hold of her almost immediately afterwards. It set off a chain of interactions that sent them down an unexpectedly passionate path of emotions and intimacy that Lili never seemed able to push aside. Even though at the begining she was wary, he made her feel like she could take a chance. It led her to meeting even more people, like [[Kenthy Pennyfeather]] and [[Miah Polaali]], and eventually led to her and Kayah becoming mates. While their relationship was 'open' and unconventional, she also took in a lover named [[Kaiten Skyborn]] while C'kayah took in his own interests.

The Society continued to thrive, though some of her friendships suffered as a product of her relationship with C'kayah. Her long standing friendship with [[T'shina Vashka]] and [[Tenha'a Rendha]] being the primary ones, as their dislike of C'kayah and vehemence against Lili being with him led to them recently leaving the Society. While this happened, Lili remained firm in her decision to spend her future with the male. Life continued to change, and still does to this day. Most recently she and C'kayah have become engaged, she has offered her and the Society's aid in the Doman refugee matters, and continues raising and caring after Ado.

'''Currently''': Lili remains working, balancing a home and professional life as best as she's able. She's usually found in Ul'dah or her company house, managing her employees or organizing relations and jobs. More often then not her time is work related save for those rare moments where she spends time quietly with her fiance, a friend, or a lover. Much of her business affairs seem to revolve around a few of her members that require 'special' care due to their natures or conditions both aetherical and non.

:-Lili is very kind and affectionate to most people she meets. That doesn't necessarily mean she's flirting with you. 
:-I tend to ignore or shut down individuals who get upset OOC about not being romantically involved with Lili and/or not getting the oppurtunity. She didn't pick you so there's probably a reason. Get over it.

=== General ===

'''Lilithium Altair (Lil-ith-ium Ah-l-tair) '''is a older Hyur midlander who is often seen in and around Ul'dah and various other parts of Eorzea. Her maternal nature and affectionate disposition leaves her well liked by most who come across her. Widowed three years before the Calamity and with her three children all grown and out of the house as of roughly a year ago, Lili finds that she's able to focus on herself and her own happiness for the first time since her teens. It's left her with many doorways of oppurtunity to choose from, some full of light and adventure while others harbor a darker purpose...

Recently, she has become the owner of a staffing company known as the Free Wing Society and adopted a little boy named Adokenai. On top of that, she has opened her heart that led to avenues she never dared dream were possible. She currently has a mate/fiance (C'kayah Tia), and has been pursuing various interests that range from people to books to trying her hand at the aetheric arts.

'''Note: Lili is able to see the aether of various individuals she meets. They manifest as light and colors, and I will sometimes whisper people OOC to determine what their aether is like so Lili can react or adjust accordingly.'''

=== Appearance ===

[[File:LiliSelf.png|none|LiliSelf.png]]

Standing at 5 fulm and 4 ilm, Lili is used to seeing the world from the shorter side of things. She used to wear her pale blonde hair long and nearly to her elbows, but almost two moons ago she chopped it rather short. Recently, she's grown it out again. Her eyes are very light green with a silvery cast to the color to give it an odd shimmering quality. While her features deceive others of her true age, she bares what marks she has with pride: Some crows feet at the corner of her eyes that show when she laughs, and similar lines at the corner of her lips that only start to show when she is smiling broadly. Having bared three children (two of which were twins), she was left with rather shapely hips and added curves that she had not possessed in her youth. One of the physical features most noticed by some who meet Lili is her rather large bust despite her small size. It usually causes her a myriad of problems, as some of her shorter Miqo'te friends and Lalafell companions sometimes get suffocated when she hugs them. The rest of her is well toned from the muscle and strenght it takes to wield her axe and fist weapons, and sunkissed from her years by the shores of Limsa or the sands of Ul'dah.

[[File:LiliandWhisper2.jpg|none|LiliandWhisper2.jpg]]

=== Behavior ===

Having gotten pregnant at fourteen and raising or looking after her children and those of others left Lili with a maternal nature that has been driven down to the core of her very being. She tends to look out for those around her, especially those that she feels a soft spot for, or those around her children's age (teens to early twenties range). Though this maternal drive of hers doesn't make her a pushover in the least, as it is possible to ignite her ire with the right buttons being pushed. Over all, she's calm and even tempered and usually the voice of reason for those around her. Ever one to play devil's advocate.

== Combat ==

=== General ===

Lili hasn't had much of a need to show her skills publically, but in the few times she's sparred with friends she's shown a great aptitude for a martial arts style of combat. Her fists, being her primary weapon, are usually not the thing to worry about. They sometimes serve as a mere distraction for her rather powerful legs to catch someone off guard. When she does happen to use her axe, it's an interesting sight since some of the weaponry are almost as big as she is. Yet she yields them with ease, using all her force with each blow. She fights with a certain level of honor, though if the situation should call for it she won't be afraid to play dirty.

=== Family ===

●Ghislan Nightwing (deceased): Lili's late husband who went MIA during an assignment against the Garleans. After no body being found over the last near decade he's been gone, everyone has safely assumed he is dead and Lili no longer mourns her first and only true love. He was also of Ala Mhigan descent and large for a Highlander (7 fulms).

''●''[[Adokenai Kodomo]]: A young Lalachild who Lili met at the Quicksand one day. Since meeting, Lili had adopted the little boy as her own. He even calls her 'Mom' regularly, and comes running to her whenever he sees her. Usually when seen together, the little boy is being held by his new mother or playing around some where near by.

''●''Khavan Nightwing: Lili's oldest child and oldest son. At nineteen years of age, nearing twenty, Khavan is engaged to a male elezen and usually bothers Lili for wedding preperation.

''●''Sarameda Silverlark: Youngest twin daughter of Lilithium Altair and Amore Silverlark.

''●''Deisarameda Silverlark: Oldest twin daughter of Lilithium Altair and Amore Silverlark.

●Rahsha Altair: A Sunseeker miqo'te that Lili's parents found when Lili was only five. Abandoned on a supply ship, no one knows her tribal origin and could never relocate birth parents. Rahsha and Lili grew apart after Lili left home, and now the two rarely see one another. A short time ago she learned what hand Rahsha had to play in the death of their parents, and while it's helped Lili understand her adopted sister more, it still hasn't mended the bridge between them.

''●''Andromeda and Reiko Altair (deceased): Lili's parents died shortly after the twins were born in a simple but tragic fire. Both were botanists who were unmatched in their knowledge of the land and its bountiful treasures.

=== Other Relationships ===

''●''[[Aedan Mathis]]: On her way to gather herbs in the Sylphlands, she came across a Hyur slumped over his faithful chocobo. Bloodied and unconscious, Lili took him to the nearby Sanctum of the Twelve and managed to save his life. While the two aren't in close contact, she sees him sporadically and keep in the back of her mind his offer to look after her children as a way of thanks for her helping him.

''●''[[Aya Foxheart]]: The Quicksand's favorite barmaid, Lili worked alongside C'kayah to help Aya with some personal problems, and offered the woman multiple safe places to hide away at should she had needed it. Afterwards, she hasn't seen much of her, though that hasn't stopped the affection she began to feel towards the woman.

''♥●''[[Azeiox Nelles]]: An elezen Lili met one day at the Quicksand who always seems to be looking out for her son and letting him right on his shoulder without batting an eye. Intimidating at first, she later found his more quiet nature to be comforting and enjoys spending time with him when she can. The nature of their relationship to outsiders appears friendly, though if there is anything else going on they certainly don't show it. In private they made the decision to become lovers, and developments are still very fresh and new between them. The time they have spent together is very few and far between, but it seems to fit Lili just fine.

●[[Chokho Viqqoh]]: A Keeper woman Lili met at the fishfry event the Society put on, she flirted rather heavily with Lili and even poured a cup of water on her to see her wet in her bikkini. They met up later when they found out they were neighbors, and have started a comfortable friendship. Chokho has made her attraction known, and Lili returned the sentiment. Their lives keep them busy and often apart, though they make time to spend with one another when they can. With the passage of weeks Lili's affections have softened, though she still wonders how the miqo'te woman is doing.

''♥●''[[C'kayah Tia]]: A Miqo'te who once supplied Lili with alchemical materials she was having a hard time acquiring, he was smitten with her from the start and she rejected his advances over and over again. Instead, teasing him with playful retorts and equally playful skepticism. They ended up being around one another off and on as time went on, and over time Lili came to see that his feelings and gestures were indeed sincere and affectionate by his repeat efforts to prove such. Since asking her to be his mate, and she in turn asking him to marry her, the two have been through great obstacles that have made them stronger then ever. When seen together, Lili couldn't be happier.

''●''[[Darturu Torlan]]: Darturu and Lili were once mated, but his co-creation of the Blacktalon Vanguard made balancing work and a relationship difficult. The two eventually decided to part ways, still caring for one another, but now left to their own devices. As time has passed and seeing less and less of him, her feelings had softened to the point where romance is no longer something she entertains with the Miqo'te. They have not seen one another since she left the Vanguard, and she seems to have no desire to change that.

''●''[[Dheina Tayuun]]: A young Miqo'te she met when coming back to Ul'dah via her previous mate, Darturu. They keep in touch sporadically, and have a pleasent friendship.

♥●[[Graeldelon Bloodrage]]: One of the newer members of the Society, Lili doesn't know the young man very well. However she can occasionally be caught looking at him with a faint and curious little smile as well as fussing over recent wounds he suffered as part of a training exercise.

''●''●[[Kagewoe Erasus]]: Fiance of Nymira's, Kage is also one of her officers. While she is not close to the male, she is confident in his abilities to help her and Nym keep everyone in line and together. Recent events with the Society have the two walking on thin ice around one another and generally not around one another.

''●''[[Kal Numara]]: A Highlander woman who is also a friend of Lili's. Usually teasing her, and constantly referring to her as 'Mama' or 'Mama Lili'. Such teasings are usually met with Lili retaliating (playfully so).

[[Kenthy Pennyfeather|''●''Kenthy Pennyfeather]]: A miqo'te Lili met through her interractions with C'kayah and the Morbolvines, she's grown a light friendship with the woman, as well as quite a bit of respect due to the help that was given to her during her experience in the form of a Moonkeeper. Despite her sassy and slightly abrasive nature, Lili finds her pleasent. During a series of discussions involving Kenthy and C'kayah's desire to add intimacy to their current relationship, Kenthy lashed out at Lili in a way that had her feeling almost hostile towards the woman. Later on, the two women managed to patch things up and Lili gave Kenthy her blessing to be involved with C'kayah. She doesn't see the redhead regular, but should one ask she considers her a friend.

''♥●''[[Kaiten Skyborn]]: Lili and this hyur were involved for an extended period as lovers and friends. Due to less and less time spent together and Lili's recent engagement to C'kayah, the two had drifted apart and Kaiten soon disappeared from her life completely. Without warning, he came to her office one night with vows of love and how much he had missed her. Revealing that falling in love with another woman helped him better understand how she could love him and C'kayah both in her own ways and at the same time, it helped with their reconciliation and the slow process of coming together once more.

''●''[[Kaohastraal Aeseroix]]:A very large roe man that was introduced to Lili via T'shina at the fish fry event. His Garlean name took her aback at first, but when they started talking he eased her mind and explained some of his story. He's admitted to having an interest in her on many levels, and they've agreed to simply get to know one another. Though it's hard to know what Lili is thinking when they're seen together. As of late, she's started helping him with a number of private matters regarding his 'health'.

''●''[[Katiti Kati]]: Lili met this Lalafell around the time she met Ado, who served alongside Toff as one of the Lalachild's unofficial guardians. She eventually joined the Society, being hired as Ado's official teacher. Lili trusts her judgement, but worries with how much she stresses over things all the time.

[[Kolhi'to Embhre|''●''Kolhi'to Embhre]]: Creator of the Blacktalon Vanguard and Lili's former employer, Lili has known Kol for quite some time. However, they seem neither friendly nor hostile. Instead only polite when meeting or speaking in passing. More often then not Kol's grumpy attitude tends to irk Lili even if she may not always show it.

''●''[[Leon Maxwell]]: A young boy Lili met through Tenha'a, she's done her best to look out for his well being and educate him on matters he inquires about, such as love. Knowing a few tidbits about his current health and situation, she's been doing some research into what can possibly be done to help him. Between her work in the Society and his involvements in other matters, assisting him hasn't been as large of a priority. Recently, she learned that he found a cure which brought her happiness to know that perhaps now he could live a long and healthy life.

♥●[[Locke Rinannis]]: She had seen this man when he was around one of the free company houses next to Blacktalon, though never spoke to him or approached him. Later, she heard he was looking for work and offered him a job at the Society. He's one of her most quiet employees, and as a result she actively tries to drag him around the others and be social. His polite demeanor and timidity charms her, and she finds him rather attractive though she values him as a friend and workmate moreso then anything.

''●''[[Mouse Wytchwood]]: A miqo'te girl with odd origins and green hair, Lili has always regarded the girl with motherly concern and attention. From watching her from afar or explaining terms and concepts she does not easily grasp or helping with her hair. She knows enough of Mouse's backstory to keep her eye on the girl when she's able to, and to try and guide harm out of her way.

''●''[[Nymira Valeroyant]]: One of the members of the Society and its' main healer, Nym is not only a good friend of Lili's but also one of her officers to help keep the Society running smoothly.

''●''[[Rock Shattermountain]]: A Highlander Lili has recently met when helping with the Pumpkin Cafe opening night. He also is a friend of her adopted son, Ado. After a night out together, he confessed to feelings of a more romantic nature, and the two have been slowly getting to know one another from there. He is also the one that gave her a little pet fawn whom she affectionately calls Dot. As their interractions have progressed, as well as his hints and confessions to seeing Lili as a prospective wife, it left her flattered by his intense emotions. While she still cares for him, they have drifted into more of a close friendship.

●[[Tendha'a Rendha]]: A male Miqo'te whom Lili met shortly after the creation of the Vanguard. The two quickly became friends and confidants, and he is the mate of T'shina Vashka. Since Lili and C'kayah started seeing one another, neither of the two have spoken much and he never said a word when he officially left the Society with T'shina and a few others.

''●''●[[Toff Vaughn]]: One of Ado's original guardians, Lili went to Toff and Katiti before she formally adopted Ado. While she respects the man, his childish bouts of attitude test the limits of her temper, including with how he has grown the habit lately of flirting with taken women. Whether he seems to know they're taken or not.

''●''●[[Togy Brandmakt]]: A previous lover, the two seperated due to Togy's wanderings and traveling keeping them apart moreso then together. While not on bad terms, his unstable nature and her mixed responses to his off days makes their interractions a hit-or-miss.

●[[T'shina Vashka]]: A young woman Lili regards as a friend, the recent interractions Lili has had with C'kayah has strained their relationship. Afterwards, the two didn't speak for a while and had one rather large argument that Tenha'a even became part that drove Lili away emotionally. Things never fully recovered after that, and when finding out that Lili and C'kayah were still together, she resigned from the Society.

●[[U'zhan Tia]]: A Miqo'te that Lili met due to his associations with T'shina, he asked Lili to go adventuring with him. Shortly afterwards, he stopped speaking with her. Having gotten the impression he was very much like the womanizing 'Nunh' types he claimed to dislike so much, Lili has had very little desire to rekindle a friendship. With his mating to one of her employees, Liandri, she is slowly getting more accustomed to seeing the man hanging around the Society grounds.

*:"Lilithium.. Hmm.. She is a women with her priorities straight which isn't something I can say about most women I have seen.." He would narrows his eyes slightly. "And yet she still manages to enjoy her life with every passing moment. I envy her for it but she treats those who can not with kindness, something rare in all of Eorzea.. Yet why do I have a feeling she can change if you harm someone she holds dear, especially Ado or any of her company members.." - [[Azeiox Nelles]]

*: "She has an innate talent for something. What exactly? I cannot fathom, though it makes her judge the character of individual's seemingly well. Aside from my skepticism, she's rather fair and kind-hearted, though she could easily stomp out behaviour that would be unwarranted or disrespectful." - [[Liandri Mei]]

== History/Timeline ==

[[File:BirfdayLili.jpg]]

=== 1544-1559 Childhood/adolescence ===

Born an only child, Lili had a comfortable life with her parents living in Ul'dah. Taking frequent trips to the countryside and the desert to look for new herbs and roots and other things that were in demand or that her parents needed to discover. They met a variety of people and went a variety places before Lili even learned how to walk, though their home territory was always Ul'dah and the Thanalans. Around the time Lili was just turning five, her parents decided to relocate to La Noscea and start maping and surveying the lush island terrain. While on the cargo ship to Limsa Lominsa, the Altairs discovered a tiny bundle that was wailing and screaming and covered in bloodied rags. A newborn Miqo'te child, still covered in the blood of labor pains, though with no mother in sight. No one on the ship knew where she came from, and eventually Lili's parents made her part of the family and named her Rahsha.

Time passed easily in La Noscea. Lili treasured little Rahsha as if she was a blood sister. The tail and ears were only a cute little addition Lili liked to play with. Around the time she was eight and Rahsha was barely three, a family moved in nearby from Ala Mhigo with a single child of their own. A dark skinned, blonde haired, red eyed little prankster of a boy named Ghislan Nightwing. He was immidiately taken with Lili, even as a young boy, and showed it in his typical fashion of flipping her skirts, pulling on her head, and throwing sand and mud balls at he face. This usually earned him retaliation of equal brutality by Lili, with assistance from little Rahsha while their parents looked on with affection and amusement.

The years passed without incident. The comings and goings of the outside world seemed far away from Lili. Her life consisted of her family and Ghislan, and it seemed to be all she needed. As Ghislan and Lili got older, they went from children to friends, and before long, they were fawning over one another in the typical girlish and boyish fashions. Shortly after Lili's fourteenth birthday gathering, their love for one another was too much to be contained (in their young eyes at least). Following their coupling, Lili realized she was pregnant, and the two quickly escaped into the night to find the closest Priestess of Menphina to bless a union between them. Their elopement was received with a measure of shock and surprise that was quickly welcomed by all, save for Rahsha. Feeling that her sister abandoned her, the little Miqo'te never quite outgrew such feelings.

And thus began the life of Mrs. Lilithium Nightwing.

=== 1559-1569 Lilithium Amal'thea Nightwing ===

The married life was one Lili slipped into with ease. Shortly after turning fifteen summers, she gave birth to Khavan Amadeus Nightwing, who looked more like his father then anything else. Despite being young, they were hard working with Lili spending the majority of her time as a house wife taking care of their son with the aide of both of their parents. While Rahsha was loving to a degree to Khavan, she was still distant with her sister. It was something that, while Lili mourned for the lack of emotion she got from her, she couldn't focus on too deeply and still provide the needed care for her family.

During the first few years of their marriage, Ghislan continued to grow. Taller and taller and taller, reaching well past the average height for a Highlander. While it certainly got attention in a crowd and delighted Lili as well, it caught the eye of a few mercenary groups who saw great potential. Soon, he was recruited and cycled through a few companies who paid well and the work was mostly geared towards training. It brought in enough profit that Lili and Ghislan built their family home from the ground up. A beautiful, pale stoned cottage melded with shells from the nearby shore.

Throwing a grand celebration with friends to honor the new homestead, everyone (even Lili) drank in good cheer. One man amoungst them, however, took advantage of the situation. A long time friend of the couples' who joined Ghislan as a healer in some of his fights and jobs, his poor health would be the death of him soon and they all knew it. Amore Silverlark was his name, and he was the only living member of his family. Determined to not leave this world without carrying out his family name, he guided a very intoxicated Lili to a back room to take advantage, and succeeded with getting her pregnant. Overcome by guilt, he confessed to Ghislan who nearly killed him on the spot were it not for Lili intervening. Barely able to let it pass, Ghislan agreed to curb his animosity while it was discussed on what to do. A few weeks later, Amore succumbed to his illness and passed away, leaving Lili and Ghislan with two choices: Keep the illegitimate children, or find a way to terminate the pregnancy.

Months later, Deisarameda and Sarameda Silverlark were born. In honor of Amore and Ghislan's more happy history together, they kept the surname and Ghislan raised them as his own. Sadly, they inherited their father's illness and were in poor health as children and even into their now adult life.

Shortly after the girls were born, Lili's parents died abruptly in a house fire. Mere days later, Rahsha disappeared with what little belongings she covered from the fire. To this day, Lili has rarely seen sight of her adopted sister and has heard rumors that she retreated to the Shroud to perhaps find clues to her true family.

The years passed without incident. Ghislan put aside his mercenary life to join the military efforts around La Noscea and even beyond. During one particular assignment he was doing freelance for the Immortal Flames, they were attacked by Garleans in which Ghislan was captured and taken away. There was never a body recovered, and Lili was wracked by grief for a number of years. Even with her children there as support, it slowly became accepted that Ghislan was likely dead and never returning. Her soulmate, the love of her life, the father of her children, was gone. There was no more to be done.

And so, life went on.

=== 1569/0-Present Calamity ===

Lili ended up retaking her maiden name of Altair a few years after Ghislan passed, not feeling right baring the name of her dead husband. The day of the Calamity, Lili and her three children visited the empty grave on a little cliff over looking the sea that was dedicated to Ghislan. All four watched in complete horror as the world around them was torn to bits and land and buildings became decimated. Thankfully, their home remained intact and they suffered no severe losses. Lili focused more on her alchemical talents to help locals and those in the cities while making a little extra money for herself and her family. Within the last two years, her children grew up into beautiful, capable young adults. All three starting to go their own ways to build their new lives. It left Lili in an interesting position: After almost two decades of being married, being widowed, raising children...she now had time to focus on herself. A thrilling but frightening prospect she still has difficulty comprehending to this day.

Lili spent the first few months trying to find hobbies. Interests. Even dabbling in the company of courtesans to appease some of the loneliness seeped into her heart. Money that Ghislan left behind in his passing was enough to sustain her day-to-day life, but she still felt empty. Unfulfilled. Without her soulmate, she began to wonder if she'd eventually die of a broken heart the way some songbirds did when their mates passed. During a trip out by Moraby, Lili came across a Miqo'te man named [[Kolhi'to Embhre]] who passed along a possible business proposition at his free company, Black Sun Trading. Intrigued, Lili followed through on the matter and found employment working for the Silverstars, Matthias and Althena. It gave her a new purpose and new motivation, and during that time she met and had a brief coupling with one of her coworkers named [[Togy Brandmakt]]. While things didn't last, it opened a door for her she never thought she'd try again: Dating.

Work for Lili in Black Sun was usually fairly slow, with the occasional incident breaking up the monotony of each daily routine. But the people were interesting, and many interesting occurrences happened in the Bismarck from laughter to violence. Later, it was announced that the trading company would become an academy (Black Sun Academy), and Lili became the school receptionist. She kept an eye when she could on some of the more naive members and prospective students, including a young woman named [[Mouse Wytchwood]]. Through an old lover, Lili learned of Mouse's mysterious nature and past and vowed to keep it quiet and continue to help watching the girl from afar. Her focus became the school, as well as finding ways to relieve herself of her loneliness. She took her alchemy back up again, as well as continued her parents' legacy and proficiency in botany.

More time passed with very little incident. For a period, Lili was surrounded by an influx of interested parties who wished to start relationships with her. Only one caught her interest in the end, a miqo'te man she met through Kolhi'to named [[Darturu Torlan]]. Charmed and taken in by his good manners, wit, and appearence, he soon became a regular part of her life. And soon, a significant other. Shortly after this her youngest daughter, Sarameda, became ill. Needing constant care and attention, Lili took an extended period of time to be with her daughter and away from the world. Including away from Darturu.

Shortly after Sara finally recovered, Lili heard everyone had relocated to Ul'dah to start up a new company with Kolhi'to as head of the organization. A mercenary group called the Blacktalon Vanguard, and Darturu was his partner. Lili relocated so as to help with the group, as well as be supportive of Dart. While the relationship with Darturu didn't last and they eventually parted ways, she still met many new people and still talks to quite a few even after she left the Vanguard to start her own group, the Free Wing Society. During this time she met a young lalachild named [[Adokenai Kodomo]], a resident tot at the Quicksand that seemed to be cared after by Momodi and the adventurers that inhabited the place. So taken by him, she decided to adopt the boy as her own and the announcement was made at the opening of the Pumpkin Cafe. There, she met two people: [[Rock Shattermountain]] and [[Sarial Hawke]], both of whom took a liking to the woman and her charms. They later joined the Society, along with others that Lili knew from Blacktalon and beyond.

Also during this time, she met a man named [[C'kayah Tia]] who supplied with her alchemical regents that she was having a hard time getting a hold of. The attraction between the two was almost instant, and at the end of the night Lili decided to give him a link to her personal pearl. Not expecting to hear from him for quite some time (if ever), Lili was surprised when he got a hold of her almost immediately afterwards. It set off a chain of interactions that sent them down an unexpectedly passionate path of emotions and intimacy that Lili never seemed able to push aside. Even though at the begining she was wary, he made her feel like she could take a chance. It led her to meeting even more people, like [[Kenthy Pennyfeather]] and [[Miah Polaali]], and eventually led to her and Kayah becoming mates. While their relationship was 'open' and unconventional, she also took in a lover named [[Kaiten Skyborn]] while C'kayah took in his own interests.

The Society continued to thrive, though some of her friendships suffered as a product of her relationship with C'kayah. Her long standing friendship with [[T'shina Vashka]] and [[Tenha'a Rendha]] being the primary ones, as their dislike of C'kayah and vehemence against Lili being with him led to them recently leaving the Society. While this happened, Lili remained firm in her decision to spend her future with the male. Life continued to change, and still does to this day. Most recently she and C'kayah have become engaged, she has offered her and the Society's aid in the Doman refugee matters, and continues raising and caring after Ado.

'''Currently''': Lili remains working, balancing a home and professional life as best as she's able. She's usually found in Ul'dah or her company house, managing her employees or organizing relations and jobs. More often then not her time is work related save for those rare moments where she spends time quietly with her fiance, a friend, or a lover. Much of her business affairs seem to revolve around a few of her members that require 'special' care due to their natures or conditions both aetherical and non.

=== General ===

'''Lilithium Altair (Lil-ith-ium Ah-l-tair) '''is a older Hyur midlander who is often seen in and around Ul'dah and various other parts of Eorzea. Her maternal nature and affectionate disposition leaves her well liked by most who come across her. Widowed three years before the Calamity and with her three children all grown and out of the house as of roughly a year ago, Lili finds that she's able to focus on herself and her own happiness for the first time since her teens. It's left her with many doorways of oppurtunity to choose from, some full of light and adventure while others harbor a darker purpose...

Recently, she has become the owner of a staffing company known as the Free Wing Society and adopted a little boy named Adokenai. On top of that, she has opened her heart that led to avenues she never dared dream were possible. She currently has a mate/fiance (C'kayah Tia), and has been pursuing various interests that range from people to books to trying her hand at the aetheric arts.

'''Note: Lili is able to see the aether of various individuals she meets. They manifest as light and colors, and I will sometimes whisper people OOC to determine what their aether is like so Lili can react or adjust accordingly.'''

=== Appearance ===

[[File:LiliSelf.png|none|LiliSelf.png]]

Standing at 5 fulm and 4 ilm, Lili is used to seeing the world from the shorter side of things. She used to wear her pale blonde hair long and nearly to her elbows, but almost two moons ago she chopped it rather short. Recently, she's grown it out again. Her eyes are very light green with a silvery cast to the color to give it an odd shimmering quality. While her features deceive others of her true age, she bares what marks she has with pride: Some crows feet at the corner of her eyes that show when she laughs, and similar lines at the corner of her lips that only start to show when she is smiling broadly. Having bared three children (two of which were twins), she was left with rather shapely hips and added curves that she had not possessed in her youth. One of the physical features most noticed by some who meet Lili is her rather large bust despite her small size. It usually causes her a myriad of problems, as some of her shorter Miqo'te friends and Lalafell companions sometimes get suffocated when she hugs them. The rest of her is well toned from the muscle and strenght it takes to wield her axe and fist weapons, and sunkissed from her years by the shores of Limsa or the sands of Ul'dah. Around her neck is a long chain with little silver fingerbells attached to it, and on her ring finger looks to be a wedding or engagement ring of some kind.

[[File:LiliandWhisper2.jpg|none|LiliandWhisper2.jpg]]

=== Behavior ===

Having gotten pregnant at fourteen and raising or looking after her children and those of others left Lili with a maternal nature that has been driven down to the core of her very being. She tends to look out for those around her, especially those that she feels a soft spot for, or those around her children's age (teens to early twenties range). Though this maternal drive of hers doesn't make her a pushover in the least, as it is possible to ignite her ire with the right buttons being pushed. Over all, she's calm and even tempered and usually the voice of reason for those around her. Ever one to play devil's advocate.

== Combat ==

=== General ===

Lili hasn't had much of a need to show her skills publically, but in the few times she's sparred with friends she's shown a great aptitude for a martial arts style of combat. Her fists, being her primary weapon, are usually not the thing to worry about. They sometimes serve as a mere distraction for her rather powerful legs to catch someone off guard. When she does happen to use her axe, it's an interesting sight since some of the weaponry are almost as big as she is. Yet she yields them with ease, using all her force with each blow. She fights with a certain level of honor, though if the situation should call for it she won't be afraid to play dirty.

[[File:LiliandAdo3.png]]

=== Family ===

●Ghislan Nightwing (deceased): Lili's late husband who went MIA during an assignment against the Garleans. After no body being found over the last near decade he's been gone, everyone has safely assumed he is dead and Lili no longer mourns her first and only true love. He was also of Ala Mhigan descent and large for a Highlander (7 fulms).

''●''[[Adokenai Kodomo]]: A young Lalachild who Lili met at the Quicksand one day. Since meeting, Lili had adopted the little boy as her own. He even calls her 'Mom' regularly, and comes running to her whenever he sees her. Usually when seen together, the little boy is being held by his new mother or playing around some where near by.

''●''Khavan Nightwing: Lili's oldest child and oldest son. At nineteen years of age, nearing twenty, Khavan is engaged to a male elezen and usually bothers Lili for wedding preperation.

''●''Sarameda Silverlark: Youngest twin daughter of Lilithium Altair and Amore Silverlark.

''●''Deisarameda Silverlark: Oldest twin daughter of Lilithium Altair and Amore Silverlark.

●Rahsha Altair: A Sunseeker miqo'te that Lili's parents found when Lili was only five. Abandoned on a supply ship, no one knows her tribal origin and could never relocate birth parents. Rahsha and Lili grew apart after Lili left home, and now the two rarely see one another. A short time ago she learned what hand Rahsha had to play in the death of their parents, and while it's helped Lili understand her adopted sister more, it still hasn't mended the bridge between them.

''●''Andromeda and Reiko Altair (deceased): Lili's parents died shortly after the twins were born in a simple but tragic fire. Both were botanists who were unmatched in their knowledge of the land and its bountiful treasures.

=== Other Relationships ===

''●''[[Aedan Mathis]]: On her way to gather herbs in the Sylphlands, she came across a Hyur slumped over his faithful chocobo. Bloodied and unconscious, Lili took him to the nearby Sanctum of the Twelve and managed to save his life. While the two aren't in close contact, she sees him sporadically and keep in the back of her mind his offer to look after her children as a way of thanks for her helping him.

''●''[[Aya Foxheart]]: The Quicksand's favorite barmaid, Lili worked alongside C'kayah to help Aya with some personal problems, and offered the woman multiple safe places to hide away at should she had needed it. Afterwards, she hasn't seen much of her, though that hasn't stopped the affection she began to feel towards the woman.

''♥●''[[Azeiox Nelles]]: An elezen Lili met one day at the Quicksand who always seems to be looking out for her son and letting him right on his shoulder without batting an eye. Intimidating at first, she later found his more quiet nature to be comforting and enjoys spending time with him when she can. The nature of their relationship to outsiders appears friendly, though if there is anything else going on they certainly don't show it. In private they made the decision to become lovers, and developments are still very fresh and new between them. The time they have spent together is very few and far between, but it seems to fit Lili just fine.

●[[Chokho Viqqoh]]: A Keeper woman Lili met at the fishfry event the Society put on, she flirted rather heavily with Lili and even poured a cup of water on her to see her wet in her bikkini. They met up later when they found out they were neighbors, and have started a comfortable friendship. Chokho has made her attraction known, and Lili returned the sentiment. Their lives keep them busy and often apart, though they make time to spend with one another when they can. With the passage of weeks Lili's affections have softened, though she still wonders how the miqo'te woman is doing.

''♥●''[[C'kayah Tia]]: A Miqo'te who once supplied Lili with alchemical materials she was having a hard time acquiring, he was smitten with her from the start and she rejected his advances over and over again. Instead, teasing him with playful retorts and equally playful skepticism. They ended up being around one another off and on as time went on, and over time Lili came to see that his feelings and gestures were indeed sincere and affectionate by his repeat efforts to prove such. Since asking her to be his mate, and she in turn asking him to marry her, the two have been through great obstacles that have made them stronger then ever. When seen together, Lili couldn't be happier.

''●''[[Darturu Torlan]]: Darturu and Lili were once mated, but his co-creation of the Blacktalon Vanguard made balancing work and a relationship difficult. The two eventually decided to part ways, still caring for one another, but now left to their own devices. As time has passed and seeing less and less of him, her feelings had softened to the point where romance is no longer something she entertains with the Miqo'te. They have not seen one another since she left the Vanguard, and she seems to have no desire to change that.

''●''[[Dheina Tayuun]]: A young Miqo'te she met when coming back to Ul'dah via her previous mate, Darturu. They keep in touch sporadically, and have a pleasent friendship.

♥●[[Graeldelon Bloodrage]]: One of the newer members of the Society, Lili doesn't know the young man very well. However she can occasionally be caught looking at him with a faint and curious little smile as well as fussing over recent wounds he suffered as part of a training exercise.

''●''●[[Kagewoe Erasus]]: Fiance of Nymira's, Kage is also one of her officers. While she is not close to the male, she is confident in his abilities to help her and Nym keep everyone in line and together. Recent events with the Society have the two walking on thin ice around one another and generally not around one another.

''●''[[Kal Numara]]: A Highlander woman who is also a friend of Lili's. Usually teasing her, and constantly referring to her as 'Mama' or 'Mama Lili'. Such teasings are usually met with Lili retaliating (playfully so).

[[Kenthy Pennyfeather|''●''Kenthy Pennyfeather]]: A miqo'te Lili met through her interractions with C'kayah and the Morbolvines, she's grown a light friendship with the woman, as well as quite a bit of respect due to the help that was given to her during her experience in the form of a Moonkeeper. Despite her sassy and slightly abrasive nature, Lili finds her pleasent. During a series of discussions involving Kenthy and C'kayah's desire to add intimacy to their current relationship, Kenthy lashed out at Lili in a way that had her feeling almost hostile towards the woman. Later on, the two women managed to patch things up and Lili gave Kenthy her blessing to be involved with C'kayah. She doesn't see the redhead regular, but should one ask she considers her a friend.

''♥●''[[Kaiten Skyborn]]: Lili and this hyur were involved for an extended period as lovers and friends. Due to less and less time spent together and Lili's recent engagement to C'kayah, the two had drifted apart and Kaiten soon disappeared from her life completely. Without warning, he came to her office one night with vows of love and how much he had missed her. Revealing that falling in love with another woman helped him better understand how she could love him and C'kayah both in her own ways and at the same time, it helped with their reconciliation and the slow process of coming together once more.

''●''[[Kaohastraal Aeseroix]]:A very large roe man that was introduced to Lili via T'shina at the fish fry event. His Garlean name took her aback at first, but when they started talking he eased her mind and explained some of his story. He's admitted to having an interest in her on many levels, and they've agreed to simply get to know one another. Though it's hard to know what Lili is thinking when they're seen together. As of late, she's started helping him with a number of private matters regarding his 'health'.

''●''[[Katiti Kati]]: Lili met this Lalafell around the time she met Ado, who served alongside Toff as one of the Lalachild's unofficial guardians. She eventually joined the Society, being hired as Ado's official teacher. Lili trusts her judgement, but worries with how much she stresses over things all the time.

[[Kolhi'to Embhre|''●''Kolhi'to Embhre]]: Creator of the Blacktalon Vanguard and Lili's former employer, Lili has known Kol for quite some time. However, they seem neither friendly nor hostile. Instead only polite when meeting or speaking in passing. More often then not Kol's grumpy attitude tends to irk Lili even if she may not always show it.

''●''[[Leon Maxwell]]: A young boy Lili met through Tenha'a, she's done her best to look out for his well being and educate him on matters he inquires about, such as love. Knowing a few tidbits about his current health and situation, she's been doing some research into what can possibly be done to help him. Between her work in the Society and his involvements in other matters, assisting him hasn't been as large of a priority. Recently, she learned that he found a cure which brought her happiness to know that perhaps now he could live a long and healthy life.

♥●[[Locke Rinannis]]: She had seen this man when he was around one of the free company houses next to Blacktalon, though never spoke to him or approached him. Later, she heard he was looking for work and offered him a job at the Society. He's one of her most quiet employees, and as a result she actively tries to drag him around the others and be social. His polite demeanor and timidity charms her, and she finds him rather attractive though she values him as a friend and workmate moreso then anything.

''●''[[Mouse Wytchwood]]: A miqo'te girl with odd origins and green hair, Lili has always regarded the girl with motherly concern and attention. From watching her from afar or explaining terms and concepts she does not easily grasp or helping with her hair. She knows enough of Mouse's backstory to keep her eye on the girl when she's able to, and to try and guide harm out of her way.

''●''[[Nymira Valeroyant]]: One of the members of the Society and its' main healer, Nym is not only a good friend of Lili's but also one of her officers to help keep the Society running smoothly.

''●''[[Rock Shattermountain]]: A Highlander Lili has recently met when helping with the Pumpkin Cafe opening night. He also is a friend of her adopted son, Ado. After a night out together, he confessed to feelings of a more romantic nature, and the two have been slowly getting to know one another from there. He is also the one that gave her a little pet fawn whom she affectionately calls Dot. As their interractions have progressed, as well as his hints and confessions to seeing Lili as a prospective wife, it left her flattered by his intense emotions. While she still cares for him, they have drifted into more of a close friendship.

●[[Tendha'a Rendha]]: A male Miqo'te whom Lili met shortly after the creation of the Vanguard. The two quickly became friends and confidants, and he is the mate of T'shina Vashka. Since Lili and C'kayah started seeing one another, neither of the two have spoken much and he never said a word when he officially left the Society with T'shina and a few others.

''●''●[[Toff Vaughn]]: One of Ado's original guardians, Lili went to Toff and Katiti before she formally adopted Ado. While she respects the man, his childish bouts of attitude test the limits of her temper, including with how he has grown the habit lately of flirting with taken women. Whether he seems to know they're taken or not.

''●''●[[Togy Brandmakt]]: A previous lover, the two seperated due to Togy's wanderings and traveling keeping them apart moreso then together. While not on bad terms, his unstable nature and her mixed responses to his off days makes their interractions a hit-or-miss.

●[[T'shina Vashka]]: A young woman Lili regards as a friend, the recent interractions Lili has had with C'kayah has strained their relationship. Afterwards, the two didn't speak for a while and had one rather large argument that Tenha'a even became part that drove Lili away emotionally. Things never fully recovered after that, and when finding out that Lili and C'kayah were still together, she resigned from the Society.

●[[U'zhan Tia]]: A Miqo'te that Lili met due to his associations with T'shina, he asked Lili to go adventuring with him. Shortly afterwards, he stopped speaking with her. Having gotten the impression he was very much like the womanizing 'Nunh' types he claimed to dislike so much, Lili has had very little desire to rekindle a friendship. With his mating to one of her employees, Liandri, she is slowly getting more accustomed to seeing the man hanging around the Society grounds.

== History/Timeline ==

[[File:BirfdayLili.jpg]]

=== 1544-1559 Childhood/adolescence ===

Born an only child, Lili had a comfortable life with her parents living in Ul'dah. Taking frequent trips to the countryside and the desert to look for new herbs and roots and other things that were in demand or that her parents needed to discover. They met a variety of people and went a variety places before Lili even learned how to walk, though their home territory was always Ul'dah and the Thanalans. Around the time Lili was just turning five, her parents decided to relocate to La Noscea and start maping and surveying the lush island terrain. While on the cargo ship to Limsa Lominsa, the Altairs discovered a tiny bundle that was wailing and screaming and covered in bloodied rags. A newborn Miqo'te child, still covered in the blood of labor pains, though with no mother in sight. No one on the ship knew where she came from, and eventually Lili's parents made her part of the family and named her Rahsha.

Time passed easily in La Noscea. Lili treasured little Rahsha as if she was a blood sister. The tail and ears were only a cute little addition Lili liked to play with. Around the time she was eight and Rahsha was barely three, a family moved in nearby from Ala Mhigo with a single child of their own. A dark skinned, blonde haired, red eyed little prankster of a boy named Ghislan Nightwing. He was immidiately taken with Lili, even as a young boy, and showed it in his typical fashion of flipping her skirts, pulling on her head, and throwing sand and mud balls at he face. This usually earned him retaliation of equal brutality by Lili, with assistance from little Rahsha while their parents looked on with affection and amusement.

The years passed without incident. The comings and goings of the outside world seemed far away from Lili. Her life consisted of her family and Ghislan, and it seemed to be all she needed. As Ghislan and Lili got older, they went from children to friends, and before long, they were fawning over one another in the typical girlish and boyish fashions. Shortly after Lili's fourteenth birthday gathering, their love for one another was too much to be contained (in their young eyes at least). Following their coupling, Lili realized she was pregnant, and the two quickly escaped into the night to find the closest Priestess of Menphina to bless a union between them. Their elopement was received with a measure of shock and surprise that was quickly welcomed by all, save for Rahsha. Feeling that her sister abandoned her, the little Miqo'te never quite outgrew such feelings.

And thus began the life of Mrs. Lilithium Nightwing.

=== 1559-1569 Lilithium Amal'thea Nightwing ===

The married life was one Lili slipped into with ease. Shortly after turning fifteen summers, she gave birth to Khavan Amadeus Nightwing, who looked more like his father then anything else. Despite being young, they were hard working with Lili spending the majority of her time as a house wife taking care of their son with the aide of both of their parents. While Rahsha was loving to a degree to Khavan, she was still distant with her sister. It was something that, while Lili mourned for the lack of emotion she got from her, she couldn't focus on too deeply and still provide the needed care for her family.

During the first few years of their marriage, Ghislan continued to grow. Taller and taller and taller, reaching well past the average height for a Highlander. While it certainly got attention in a crowd and delighted Lili as well, it caught the eye of a few mercenary groups who saw great potential. Soon, he was recruited and cycled through a few companies who paid well and the work was mostly geared towards training. It brought in enough profit that Lili and Ghislan built their family home from the ground up. A beautiful, pale stoned cottage melded with shells from the nearby shore.

Throwing a grand celebration with friends to honor the new homestead, everyone (even Lili) drank in good cheer. One man amoungst them, however, took advantage of the situation. A long time friend of the couples' who joined Ghislan as a healer in some of his fights and jobs, his poor health would be the death of him soon and they all knew it. Amore Silverlark was his name, and he was the only living member of his family. Determined to not leave this world without carrying out his family name, he guided a very intoxicated Lili to a back room to take advantage, and succeeded with getting her pregnant. Overcome by guilt, he confessed to Ghislan who nearly killed him on the spot were it not for Lili intervening. Barely able to let it pass, Ghislan agreed to curb his animosity while it was discussed on what to do. A few weeks later, Amore succumbed to his illness and passed away, leaving Lili and Ghislan with two choices: Keep the illegitimate children, or find a way to terminate the pregnancy.

Months later, Deisarameda and Sarameda Silverlark were born. In honor of Amore and Ghislan's more happy history together, they kept the surname and Ghislan raised them as his own. Sadly, they inherited their father's illness and were in poor health as children and even into their now adult life.

Shortly after the girls were born, Lili's parents died abruptly in a house fire. Mere days later, Rahsha disappeared with what little belongings she covered from the fire. To this day, Lili has rarely seen sight of her adopted sister and has heard rumors that she retreated to the Shroud to perhaps find clues to her true family.

The years passed without incident. Ghislan put aside his mercenary life to join the military efforts around La Noscea and even beyond. During one particular assignment he was doing freelance for the Immortal Flames, they were attacked by Garleans in which Ghislan was captured and taken away. There was never a body recovered, and Lili was wracked by grief for a number of years. Even with her children there as support, it slowly became accepted that Ghislan was likely dead and never returning. Her soulmate, the love of her life, the father of her children, was gone. There was no more to be done.

And so, life went on.

=== 1569/0-Present Calamity ===

Lili ended up retaking her maiden name of Altair a few years after Ghislan passed, not feeling right baring the name of her dead husband. The day of the Calamity, Lili and her three children visited the empty grave on a little cliff over looking the sea that was dedicated to Ghislan. All four watched in complete horror as the world around them was torn to bits and land and buildings became decimated. Thankfully, their home remained intact and they suffered no severe losses. Lili focused more on her alchemical talents to help locals and those in the cities while making a little extra money for herself and her family. Within the last two years, her children grew up into beautiful, capable young adults. All three starting to go their own ways to build their new lives. It left Lili in an interesting position: After almost two decades of being married, being widowed, raising children...she now had time to focus on herself. A thrilling but frightening prospect she still has difficulty comprehending to this day.

Lili spent the first few months trying to find hobbies. Interests. Even dabbling in the company of courtesans to appease some of the loneliness seeped into her heart. Money that Ghislan left behind in his passing was enough to sustain her day-to-day life, but she still felt empty. Unfulfilled. Without her soulmate, she began to wonder if she'd eventually die of a broken heart the way some songbirds did when their mates passed. During a trip out by Moraby, Lili came across a Miqo'te man named [[Kolhi'to Embhre]] who passed along a possible business proposition at his free company, Black Sun Trading. Intrigued, Lili followed through on the matter and found employment working for the Silverstars, Matthias and Althena. It gave her a new purpose and new motivation, and during that time she met and had a brief coupling with one of her coworkers named [[Togy Brandmakt]]. While things didn't last, it opened a door for her she never thought she'd try again: Dating.

Work for Lili in Black Sun was usually fairly slow, with the occasional incident breaking up the monotony of each daily routine. But the people were interesting, and many interesting occurrences happened in the Bismarck from laughter to violence. Later, it was announced that the trading company would become an academy (Black Sun Academy), and Lili became the school receptionist. She kept an eye when she could on some of the more naive members and prospective students, including a young woman named [[Mouse Wytchwood]]. Through an old lover, Lili learned of Mouse's mysterious nature and past and vowed to keep it quiet and continue to help watching the girl from afar. Her focus became the school, as well as finding ways to relieve herself of her loneliness. She took her alchemy back up again, as well as continued her parents' legacy and proficiency in botany.

More time passed with very little incident. For a period, Lili was surrounded by an influx of interested parties who wished to start relationships with her. Only one caught her interest in the end, a miqo'te man she met through Kolhi'to named [[Darturu Torlan]]. Charmed and taken in by his good manners, wit, and appearence, he soon became a regular part of her life. And soon, a significant other. Shortly after this her youngest daughter, Sarameda, became ill. Needing constant care and attention, Lili took an extended period of time to be with her daughter and away from the world. Including away from Darturu.

Shortly after Sara finally recovered, Lili heard everyone had relocated to Ul'dah to start up a new company with Kolhi'to as head of the organization. A mercenary group called the Blacktalon Vanguard, and Darturu was his partner. Lili relocated so as to help with the group, as well as be supportive of Dart. While the relationship with Darturu didn't last and they eventually parted ways, she still met many new people and still talks to quite a few even after she left the Vanguard to start her own group, the Free Wing Society. During this time she met a young lalachild named [[Adokenai Kodomo]], a resident tot at the Quicksand that seemed to be cared after by Momodi and the adventurers that inhabited the place. So taken by him, she decided to adopt the boy as her own and the announcement was made at the opening of the Pumpkin Cafe. There, she met two people: [[Rock Shattermountain]] and [[Sarial Hawke]], both of whom took a liking to the woman and her charms. They later joined the Society, along with others that Lili knew from Blacktalon and beyond.

Also during this time, she met a man named [[C'kayah Tia]] who supplied with her alchemical regents that she was having a hard time getting a hold of. The attraction between the two was almost instant, and at the end of the night Lili decided to give him a link to her personal pearl. Not expecting to hear from him for quite some time (if ever), Lili was surprised when he got a hold of her almost immediately afterwards. It set off a chain of interactions that sent them down an unexpectedly passionate path of emotions and intimacy that Lili never seemed able to push aside. Even though at the begining she was wary, he made her feel like she could take a chance. It led her to meeting even more people, like [[Kenthy Pennyfeather]] and [[Miah Polaali]], and eventually led to her and Kayah becoming mates. While their relationship was 'open' and unconventional, she also took in a lover named [[Kaiten Skyborn]] while C'kayah took in his own interests.

The Society continued to thrive, though some of her friendships suffered as a product of her relationship with C'kayah. Her long standing friendship with [[T'shina Vashka]] and [[Tenha'a Rendha]] being the primary ones, as their dislike of C'kayah and vehemence against Lili being with him led to them recently leaving the Society. While this happened, Lili remained firm in her decision to spend her future with the male. Life continued to change, and still does to this day. Most recently she and C'kayah have become engaged, she has offered her and the Society's aid in the Doman refugee matters, and continues raising and caring after Ado.

'''Currently''': Lili remains working, balancing a home and professional life as best as she's able. She's usually found in Ul'dah or her company house, managing her employees or organizing relations and jobs. More often then not her time is work related save for those rare moments where she spends time quietly with her fiance, a friend, or a lover. Much of her business affairs seem to revolve around a few of her members that require 'special' care due to their natures or conditions both aetherical and non.

=== General ===

'''Lilithium Altair (Lil-ith-ium Ah-l-tair) '''is a older Hyur midlander who is often seen in and around Ul'dah and various other parts of Eorzea. Her maternal nature and affectionate disposition leaves her well liked by most who come across her. Widowed three years before the Calamity and with her three children all grown and out of the house as of roughly a year ago, Lili finds that she's able to focus on herself and her own happiness for the first time since her teens. It's left her with many doorways of oppurtunity to choose from, some full of light and adventure while others harbor a darker purpose...

Recently, she has become the owner of a staffing company known as the Free Wing Society and adopted a little boy named Adokenai. On top of that, she has opened her heart that led to avenues she never dared dream were possible. She currently has a mate/fiance (C'kayah Tia), and has been pursuing various interests that range from people to books to trying her hand at the aetheric arts.

'''Note: Lili is able to see the aether of various individuals she meets. They manifest as light and colors, and I will sometimes whisper people OOC to determine what their aether is like so Lili can react or adjust accordingly.'''

=== Appearance ===

[[File:LiliSelf.png|none|LiliSelf.png]]

Standing at 5 fulm and 4 ilm, Lili is used to seeing the world from the shorter side of things. She used to wear her pale blonde hair long and nearly to her elbows, but almost two moons ago she chopped it rather short. Recently, she's grown it out again. Her eyes are very light green with a silvery cast to the color to give it an odd shimmering quality. While her features deceive others of her true age, she bares what marks she has with pride: Some crows feet at the corner of her eyes that show when she laughs, and similar lines at the corner of her lips that only start to show when she is smiling broadly. Having bared three children (two of which were twins), she was left with rather shapely hips and added curves that she had not possessed in her youth. One of the physical features most noticed by some who meet Lili is her rather large bust despite her small size. It usually causes her a myriad of problems, as some of her shorter Miqo'te friends and Lalafell companions sometimes get suffocated when she hugs them. The rest of her is well toned from the muscle and strenght it takes to wield her axe and fist weapons, and sunkissed from her years by the shores of Limsa or the sands of Ul'dah. Around her neck is a long chain with little silver fingerbells attached to it, and on her ring finger looks to be a wedding or engagement ring of some kind.

=== Behavior ===

Having gotten pregnant at fourteen and raising or looking after her children and those of others left Lili with a maternal nature that has been driven down to the core of her very being. She tends to look out for those around her, especially those that she feels a soft spot for, or those around her children's age (teens to early twenties range). Though this maternal drive of hers doesn't make her a pushover in the least, as it is possible to ignite her ire with the right buttons being pushed. Over all, she's calm and even tempered and usually the voice of reason for those around her. Ever one to play devil's advocate.

== Combat ==

=== General ===

Lili hasn't had much of a need to show her skills publically, but in the few times she's sparred with friends she's shown a great aptitude for a martial arts style of combat. Her fists, being her primary weapon, are usually not the thing to worry about. They sometimes serve as a mere distraction for her rather powerful legs to catch someone off guard. When she does happen to use her axe, it's an interesting sight since some of the weaponry are almost as big as she is. Yet she yields them with ease, using all her force with each blow. She fights with a certain level of honor, though if the situation should call for it she won't be afraid to play dirty.

== Tendencies ==

[[File:LiliandAdo3.png]]

Always one for trying and learning new things, Lili spends much of her idle time active in one way or another. If she's not relaxing in the Quicksand or the occasional visit to the Drowning Wench, she'll be home or out and about doing some kind of activity or socializing.

=== Family ===

●Ghislan Nightwing (deceased): Lili's late husband who went MIA during an assignment against the Garleans. After no body being found over the last near decade he's been gone, everyone has safely assumed he is dead and Lili no longer mourns her first and only true love. He was also of Ala Mhigan descent and large for a Highlander (7 fulms).

''●''[[Adokenai Kodomo]]: A young Lalachild who Lili met at the Quicksand one day. Since meeting, Lili had adopted the little boy as her own. He even calls her 'Mom' regularly, and comes running to her whenever he sees her. Usually when seen together, the little boy is being held by his new mother or playing around some where near by.

''●''Khavan Nightwing: Lili's oldest child and oldest son. At nineteen years of age, nearing twenty, Khavan is engaged to a male elezen and usually bothers Lili for wedding preperation.

''●''Sarameda Silverlark: Youngest twin daughter of Lilithium Altair and Amore Silverlark.

''●''Deisarameda Silverlark: Oldest twin daughter of Lilithium Altair and Amore Silverlark.

●Rahsha Altair: A Sunseeker miqo'te that Lili's parents found when Lili was only five. Abandoned on a supply ship, no one knows her tribal origin and could never relocate birth parents. Rahsha and Lili grew apart after Lili left home, and now the two rarely see one another. A short time ago she learned what hand Rahsha had to play in the death of their parents, and while it's helped Lili understand her adopted sister more, it still hasn't mended the bridge between them.

''●''Andromeda and Reiko Altair (deceased): Lili's parents died shortly after the twins were born in a simple but tragic fire. Both were botanists who were unmatched in their knowledge of the land and its bountiful treasures.

=== Other Relationships ===

''●''[[Aedan Mathis]]: On her way to gather herbs in the Sylphlands, she came across a Hyur slumped over his faithful chocobo. Bloodied and unconscious, Lili took him to the nearby Sanctum of the Twelve and managed to save his life. While the two aren't in close contact, she sees him sporadically and keep in the back of her mind his offer to look after her children as a way of thanks for her helping him.

''●''[[Aya Foxheart]]: The Quicksand's favorite barmaid, Lili worked alongside C'kayah to help Aya with some personal problems, and offered the woman multiple safe places to hide away at should she had needed it. Afterwards, she hasn't seen much of her, though that hasn't stopped the affection she began to feel towards the woman.

''♥●''[[Azeiox Nelles]]: An elezen Lili met one day at the Quicksand who always seems to be looking out for her son and letting him right on his shoulder without batting an eye. Intimidating at first, she later found his more quiet nature to be comforting and enjoys spending time with him when she can. The nature of their relationship to outsiders appears friendly, though if there is anything else going on they certainly don't show it. In private they made the decision to become lovers, and developments are still very fresh and new between them. The time they have spent together is very few and far between, but it seems to fit Lili just fine.

●[[Chokho Viqqoh]]: A Keeper woman Lili met at the fishfry event the Society put on, she flirted rather heavily with Lili and even poured a cup of water on her to see her wet in her bikkini. They met up later when they found out they were neighbors, and have started a comfortable friendship. Chokho has made her attraction known, and Lili returned the sentiment. Their lives keep them busy and often apart, though they make time to spend with one another when they can. With the passage of weeks Lili's affections have softened, though she still wonders how the miqo'te woman is doing.

''♥●''[[C'kayah Tia]]: A Miqo'te who once supplied Lili with alchemical materials she was having a hard time acquiring, he was smitten with her from the start and she rejected his advances over and over again. Instead, teasing him with playful retorts and equally playful skepticism. They ended up being around one another off and on as time went on, and over time Lili came to see that his feelings and gestures were indeed sincere and affectionate by his repeat efforts to prove such. Since asking her to be his mate, and she in turn asking him to marry her, the two have been through great obstacles that have made them stronger then ever. When seen together, Lili couldn't be happier.

''●''[[Darturu Torlan]]: Darturu and Lili were once mated, but his co-creation of the Blacktalon Vanguard made balancing work and a relationship difficult. The two eventually decided to part ways, still caring for one another, but now left to their own devices. As time has passed and seeing less and less of him, her feelings had softened to the point where romance is no longer something she entertains with the Miqo'te. They have not seen one another since she left the Vanguard, and she seems to have no desire to change that.

''●''[[Dheina Tayuun]]: A young Miqo'te she met when coming back to Ul'dah via her previous mate, Darturu. They keep in touch sporadically, and have a pleasent friendship.

♥●[[Graeldelon Bloodrage]]: One of the newer members of the Society, Lili doesn't know the young man very well. However she can occasionally be caught looking at him with a faint and curious little smile as well as fussing over recent wounds he suffered as part of a training exercise.

''●''●[[Kagewoe Erasus]]: Fiance of Nymira's, Kage is also one of her officers. While she is not close to the male, she is confident in his abilities to help her and Nym keep everyone in line and together. Recent events with the Society have the two walking on thin ice around one another and generally not around one another.

''●''[[Kal Numara]]: A Highlander woman who is also a friend of Lili's. Usually teasing her, and constantly referring to her as 'Mama' or 'Mama Lili'. Such teasings are usually met with Lili retaliating (playfully so).

[[Kenthy Pennyfeather|''●''Kenthy Pennyfeather]]: A miqo'te Lili met through her interractions with C'kayah and the Morbolvines, she's grown a light friendship with the woman, as well as quite a bit of respect due to the help that was given to her during her experience in the form of a Moonkeeper. Despite her sassy and slightly abrasive nature, Lili finds her pleasent. During a series of discussions involving Kenthy and C'kayah's desire to add intimacy to their current relationship, Kenthy lashed out at Lili in a way that had her feeling almost hostile towards the woman. Later on, the two women managed to patch things up and Lili gave Kenthy her blessing to be involved with C'kayah. She doesn't see the redhead regular, but should one ask she considers her a friend.

''♥●''[[Kaiten Skyborn]]: Lili and this hyur were involved for an extended period as lovers and friends. Due to less and less time spent together and Lili's recent engagement to C'kayah, the two had drifted apart and Kaiten soon disappeared from her life completely. Without warning, he came to her office one night with vows of love and how much he had missed her. Revealing that falling in love with another woman helped him better understand how she could love him and C'kayah both in her own ways and at the same time, it helped with their reconciliation and the slow process of coming together once more.

''●''[[Kaohastraal Aeseroix]]:A very large roe man that was introduced to Lili via T'shina at the fish fry event. His Garlean name took her aback at first, but when they started talking he eased her mind and explained some of his story. He's admitted to having an interest in her on many levels, and they've agreed to simply get to know one another. Though it's hard to know what Lili is thinking when they're seen together. As of late, she's started helping him with a number of private matters regarding his 'health'.

''●''[[Katiti Kati]]: Lili met this Lalafell around the time she met Ado, who served alongside Toff as one of the Lalachild's unofficial guardians. She eventually joined the Society, being hired as Ado's official teacher. Lili trusts her judgement, but worries with how much she stresses over things all the time.

[[Kolhi'to Embhre|''●''Kolhi'to Embhre]]: Creator of the Blacktalon Vanguard and Lili's former employer, Lili has known Kol for quite some time. However, they seem neither friendly nor hostile. Instead only polite when meeting or speaking in passing. More often then not Kol's grumpy attitude tends to irk Lili even if she may not always show it.

''●''[[Leon Maxwell]]: A young boy Lili met through Tenha'a, she's done her best to look out for his well being and educate him on matters he inquires about, such as love. Knowing a few tidbits about his current health and situation, she's been doing some research into what can possibly be done to help him. Between her work in the Society and his involvements in other matters, assisting him hasn't been as large of a priority. Recently, she learned that he found a cure which brought her happiness to know that perhaps now he could live a long and healthy life.

♥●[[Locke Rinannis]]: She had seen this man when he was around one of the free company houses next to Blacktalon, though never spoke to him or approached him. Later, she heard he was looking for work and offered him a job at the Society. He's one of her most quiet employees, and as a result she actively tries to drag him around the others and be social. His polite demeanor and timidity charms her, and she finds him rather attractive though she values him as a friend and workmate moreso then anything.

''●''[[Mouse Wytchwood]]: A miqo'te girl with odd origins and green hair, Lili has always regarded the girl with motherly concern and attention. From watching her from afar or explaining terms and concepts she does not easily grasp or helping with her hair. She knows enough of Mouse's backstory to keep her eye on the girl when she's able to, and to try and guide harm out of her way.

''●''[[Nymira Valeroyant]]: One of the members of the Society and its' main healer, Nym is not only a good friend of Lili's but also one of her officers to help keep the Society running smoothly.

''●''[[Rock Shattermountain]]: A Highlander Lili has recently met when helping with the Pumpkin Cafe opening night. He also is a friend of her adopted son, Ado. After a night out together, he confessed to feelings of a more romantic nature, and the two have been slowly getting to know one another from there. He is also the one that gave her a little pet fawn whom she affectionately calls Dot. As their interractions have progressed, as well as his hints and confessions to seeing Lili as a prospective wife, it left her flattered by his intense emotions. While she still cares for him, they have drifted into more of a close friendship.

●[[Tendha'a Rendha]]: A male Miqo'te whom Lili met shortly after the creation of the Vanguard. The two quickly became friends and confidants, and he is the mate of T'shina Vashka. Since Lili and C'kayah started seeing one another, neither of the two have spoken much and he never said a word when he officially left the Society with T'shina and a few others.

''●''●[[Toff Vaughn]]: One of Ado's original guardians, Lili went to Toff and Katiti before she formally adopted Ado. While she respects the man, his childish bouts of attitude test the limits of her temper, including with how he has grown the habit lately of flirting with taken women. Whether he seems to know they're taken or not.

''●''●[[Togy Brandmakt]]: A previous lover, the two seperated due to Togy's wanderings and traveling keeping them apart moreso then together. While not on bad terms, his unstable nature and her mixed responses to his off days makes their interractions a hit-or-miss.

●[[T'shina Vashka]]: A young woman Lili regards as a friend, the recent interractions Lili has had with C'kayah has strained their relationship. Afterwards, the two didn't speak for a while and had one rather large argument that Tenha'a even became part that drove Lili away emotionally. Things never fully recovered after that, and when finding out that Lili and C'kayah were still together, she resigned from the Society.

●[[U'zhan Tia]]: A Miqo'te that Lili met due to his associations with T'shina, he asked Lili to go adventuring with him. Shortly afterwards, he stopped speaking with her. Having gotten the impression he was very much like the womanizing 'Nunh' types he claimed to dislike so much, Lili has had very little desire to rekindle a friendship. With his mating to one of her employees, Liandri, she is slowly getting more accustomed to seeing the man hanging around the Society grounds.

== History/Timeline ==

[[File:BirfdayLili.jpg]]

=== 1544-1559 Childhood/adolescence ===

Born an only child, Lili had a comfortable life with her parents living in Ul'dah. Taking frequent trips to the countryside and the desert to look for new herbs and roots and other things that were in demand or that her parents needed to discover. They met a variety of people and went a variety places before Lili even learned how to walk, though their home territory was always Ul'dah and the Thanalans. Around the time Lili was just turning five, her parents decided to relocate to La Noscea and start maping and surveying the lush island terrain. While on the cargo ship to Limsa Lominsa, the Altairs discovered a tiny bundle that was wailing and screaming and covered in bloodied rags. A newborn Miqo'te child, still covered in the blood of labor pains, though with no mother in sight. No one on the ship knew where she came from, and eventually Lili's parents made her part of the family and named her Rahsha.

Time passed easily in La Noscea. Lili treasured little Rahsha as if she was a blood sister. The tail and ears were only a cute little addition Lili liked to play with. Around the time she was eight and Rahsha was barely three, a family moved in nearby from Ala Mhigo with a single child of their own. A dark skinned, blonde haired, red eyed little prankster of a boy named Ghislan Nightwing. He was immidiately taken with Lili, even as a young boy, and showed it in his typical fashion of flipping her skirts, pulling on her head, and throwing sand and mud balls at he face. This usually earned him retaliation of equal brutality by Lili, with assistance from little Rahsha while their parents looked on with affection and amusement.

The years passed without incident. The comings and goings of the outside world seemed far away from Lili. Her life consisted of her family and Ghislan, and it seemed to be all she needed. As Ghislan and Lili got older, they went from children to friends, and before long, they were fawning over one another in the typical girlish and boyish fashions. Shortly after Lili's fourteenth birthday gathering, their love for one another was too much to be contained (in their young eyes at least). Following their coupling, Lili realized she was pregnant, and the two quickly escaped into the night to find the closest Priestess of Menphina to bless a union between them. Their elopement was received with a measure of shock and surprise that was quickly welcomed by all, save for Rahsha. Feeling that her sister abandoned her, the little Miqo'te never quite outgrew such feelings.

And thus began the life of Mrs. Lilithium Nightwing.

=== 1559-1569 Lilithium Amal'thea Nightwing ===

The married life was one Lili slipped into with ease. Shortly after turning fifteen summers, she gave birth to Khavan Amadeus Nightwing, who looked more like his father then anything else. Despite being young, they were hard working with Lili spending the majority of her time as a house wife taking care of their son with the aide of both of their parents. While Rahsha was loving to a degree to Khavan, she was still distant with her sister. It was something that, while Lili mourned for the lack of emotion she got from her, she couldn't focus on too deeply and still provide the needed care for her family.

During the first few years of their marriage, Ghislan continued to grow. Taller and taller and taller, reaching well past the average height for a Highlander. While it certainly got attention in a crowd and delighted Lili as well, it caught the eye of a few mercenary groups who saw great potential. Soon, he was recruited and cycled through a few companies who paid well and the work was mostly geared towards training. It brought in enough profit that Lili and Ghislan built their family home from the ground up. A beautiful, pale stoned cottage melded with shells from the nearby shore.

Throwing a grand celebration with friends to honor the new homestead, everyone (even Lili) drank in good cheer. One man amoungst them, however, took advantage of the situation. A long time friend of the couples' who joined Ghislan as a healer in some of his fights and jobs, his poor health would be the death of him soon and they all knew it. Amore Silverlark was his name, and he was the only living member of his family. Determined to not leave this world without carrying out his family name, he guided a very intoxicated Lili to a back room to take advantage, and succeeded with getting her pregnant. Overcome by guilt, he confessed to Ghislan who nearly killed him on the spot were it not for Lili intervening. Barely able to let it pass, Ghislan agreed to curb his animosity while it was discussed on what to do. A few weeks later, Amore succumbed to his illness and passed away, leaving Lili and Ghislan with two choices: Keep the illegitimate children, or find a way to terminate the pregnancy.

Months later, Deisarameda and Sarameda Silverlark were born. In honor of Amore and Ghislan's more happy history together, they kept the surname and Ghislan raised them as his own. Sadly, they inherited their father's illness and were in poor health as children and even into their now adult life.

Shortly after the girls were born, Lili's parents died abruptly in a house fire. Mere days later, Rahsha disappeared with what little belongings she covered from the fire. To this day, Lili has rarely seen sight of her adopted sister and has heard rumors that she retreated to the Shroud to perhaps find clues to her true family.

The years passed without incident. Ghislan put aside his mercenary life to join the military efforts around La Noscea and even beyond. During one particular assignment he was doing freelance for the Immortal Flames, they were attacked by Garleans in which Ghislan was captured and taken away. There was never a body recovered, and Lili was wracked by grief for a number of years. Even with her children there as support, it slowly became accepted that Ghislan was likely dead and never returning. Her soulmate, the love of her life, the father of her children, was gone. There was no more to be done.

And so, life went on.

=== 1569/0-Present Calamity ===

Lili ended up retaking her maiden name of Altair a few years after Ghislan passed, not feeling right baring the name of her dead husband. The day of the Calamity, Lili and her three children visited the empty grave on a little cliff over looking the sea that was dedicated to Ghislan. All four watched in complete horror as the world around them was torn to bits and land and buildings became decimated. Thankfully, their home remained intact and they suffered no severe losses. Lili focused more on her alchemical talents to help locals and those in the cities while making a little extra money for herself and her family. Within the last two years, her children grew up into beautiful, capable young adults. All three starting to go their own ways to build their new lives. It left Lili in an interesting position: After almost two decades of being married, being widowed, raising children...she now had time to focus on herself. A thrilling but frightening prospect she still has difficulty comprehending to this day.

Lili spent the first few months trying to find hobbies. Interests. Even dabbling in the company of courtesans to appease some of the loneliness seeped into her heart. Money that Ghislan left behind in his passing was enough to sustain her day-to-day life, but she still felt empty. Unfulfilled. Without her soulmate, she began to wonder if she'd eventually die of a broken heart the way some songbirds did when their mates passed. During a trip out by Moraby, Lili came across a Miqo'te man named [[Kolhi'to Embhre]] who passed along a possible business proposition at his free company, Black Sun Trading. Intrigued, Lili followed through on the matter and found employment working for the Silverstars, Matthias and Althena. It gave her a new purpose and new motivation, and during that time she met and had a brief coupling with one of her coworkers named [[Togy Brandmakt]]. While things didn't last, it opened a door for her she never thought she'd try again: Dating.

Work for Lili in Black Sun was usually fairly slow, with the occasional incident breaking up the monotony of each daily routine. But the people were interesting, and many interesting occurrences happened in the Bismarck from laughter to violence. Later, it was announced that the trading company would become an academy (Black Sun Academy), and Lili became the school receptionist. She kept an eye when she could on some of the more naive members and prospective students, including a young woman named [[Mouse Wytchwood]]. Through an old lover, Lili learned of Mouse's mysterious nature and past and vowed to keep it quiet and continue to help watching the girl from afar. Her focus became the school, as well as finding ways to relieve herself of her loneliness. She took her alchemy back up again, as well as continued her parents' legacy and proficiency in botany.

More time passed with very little incident. For a period, Lili was surrounded by an influx of interested parties who wished to start relationships with her. Only one caught her interest in the end, a miqo'te man she met through Kolhi'to named [[Darturu Torlan]]. Charmed and taken in by his good manners, wit, and appearence, he soon became a regular part of her life. And soon, a significant other. Shortly after this her youngest daughter, Sarameda, became ill. Needing constant care and attention, Lili took an extended period of time to be with her daughter and away from the world. Including away from Darturu.

Shortly after Sara finally recovered, Lili heard everyone had relocated to Ul'dah to start up a new company with Kolhi'to as head of the organization. A mercenary group called the Blacktalon Vanguard, and Darturu was his partner. Lili relocated so as to help with the group, as well as be supportive of Dart. While the relationship with Darturu didn't last and they eventually parted ways, she still met many new people and still talks to quite a few even after she left the Vanguard to start her own group, the Free Wing Society. During this time she met a young lalachild named [[Adokenai Kodomo]], a resident tot at the Quicksand that seemed to be cared after by Momodi and the adventurers that inhabited the place. So taken by him, she decided to adopt the boy as her own and the announcement was made at the opening of the Pumpkin Cafe. There, she met two people: [[Rock Shattermountain]] and [[Sarial Hawke]], both of whom took a liking to the woman and her charms. They later joined the Society, along with others that Lili knew from Blacktalon and beyond.

Also during this time, she met a man named [[C'kayah Tia]] who supplied with her alchemical regents that she was having a hard time getting a hold of. The attraction between the two was almost instant, and at the end of the night Lili decided to give him a link to her personal pearl. Not expecting to hear from him for quite some time (if ever), Lili was surprised when he got a hold of her almost immediately afterwards. It set off a chain of interactions that sent them down an unexpectedly passionate path of emotions and intimacy that Lili never seemed able to push aside. Even though at the begining she was wary, he made her feel like she could take a chance. It led her to meeting even more people, like [[Kenthy Pennyfeather]] and [[Miah Polaali]], and eventually led to her and Kayah becoming mates. While their relationship was 'open' and unconventional, she also took in a lover named [[Kaiten Skyborn]] while C'kayah took in his own interests.

The Society continued to thrive, though some of her friendships suffered as a product of her relationship with C'kayah. Her long standing friendship with [[T'shina Vashka]] and [[Tenha'a Rendha]] being the primary ones, as their dislike of C'kayah and vehemence against Lili being with him led to them recently leaving the Society. While this happened, Lili remained firm in her decision to spend her future with the male. Life continued to change, and still does to this day. Most recently she and C'kayah have become engaged, she has offered her and the Society's aid in the Doman refugee matters, and continues raising and caring after Ado.

'''Currently''': Lili remains working, balancing a home and professional life as best as she's able. She's usually found in Ul'dah or her company house, managing her employees or organizing relations and jobs. More often then not her time is work related save for those rare moments where she spends time quietly with her fiance, a friend, or a lover. Much of her business affairs seem to revolve around a few of her members that require 'special' care due to their natures or conditions both aetherical and non.

=== General ===

'''Lilithium Altair (Lil-ith-ium Ah-l-tair) '''is a older Hyur midlander who is often seen in and around Ul'dah and various other parts of Eorzea. Her maternal nature and affectionate disposition leaves her well liked by most who come across her. Widowed three years before the Calamity and with her three children all grown and out of the house as of roughly a year ago, Lili finds that she's able to focus on herself and her own happiness for the first time since her teens. It's left her with many doorways of oppurtunity to choose from, some full of light and adventure while others harbor a darker purpose...

Recently, she has become the owner of a staffing company known as the Free Wing Society and adopted a little boy named Adokenai. On top of that, she has opened her heart that led to avenues she never dared dream were possible. She currently has a mate/fiance (C'kayah Tia), and has been pursuing various interests that range from people to books to trying her hand at the aetheric arts.

'''Note: Lili is able to see the aether of various individuals she meets. They manifest as light and colors, and I will sometimes whisper people OOC to determine what their aether is like so Lili can react or adjust accordingly.'''

=== Appearance ===

[[File:LiliSelf.png|none|LiliSelf.png]]

Standing at 5 fulm and 4 ilm, Lili is used to seeing the world from the shorter side of things. She used to wear her pale blonde hair long and nearly to her elbows, but almost two moons ago she chopped it rather short. Recently, she's grown it out again. Her eyes are very light green with a silvery cast to the color to give it an odd shimmering quality. While her features deceive others of her true age, she bares what marks she has with pride: Some crows feet at the corner of her eyes that show when she laughs, and similar lines at the corner of her lips that only start to show when she is smiling broadly. Having bared three children (two of which were twins), she was left with rather shapely hips and added curves that she had not possessed in her youth. One of the physical features most noticed by some who meet Lili is her rather large bust despite her small size. It usually causes her a myriad of problems, as some of her shorter Miqo'te friends and Lalafell companions sometimes get suffocated when she hugs them. The rest of her is well toned from the muscle and strenght it takes to wield her axe and fist weapons, and sunkissed from her years by the shores of Limsa or the sands of Ul'dah. Around her neck is a long chain with little silver fingerbells attached to it, and on her ring finger looks to be a wedding or engagement ring of some kind.

=== Behavior ===

Having gotten pregnant at fourteen and raising or looking after her children and those of others left Lili with a maternal nature that has been driven down to the core of her very being. She tends to look out for those around her, especially those that she feels a soft spot for, or those around her children's age (teens to early twenties range). Though this maternal drive of hers doesn't make her a pushover in the least, as it is possible to ignite her ire with the right buttons being pushed. Over all, she's calm and even tempered and usually the voice of reason for those around her. Ever one to play devil's advocate.

== Combat ==

=== General ===

Lili hasn't had much of a need to show her skills publically, but in the few times she's sparred with friends she's shown a great aptitude for a martial arts style of combat. Her fists, being her primary weapon, are usually not the thing to worry about. They sometimes serve as a mere distraction for her rather powerful legs to catch someone off guard. When she does happen to use her axe, it's an interesting sight since some of the weaponry are almost as big as she is. Yet she yields them with ease, using all her force with each blow. She fights with a certain level of honor, though if the situation should call for it she won't be afraid to play dirty.

=== Family ===

●Ghislan Nightwing (deceased): Lili's late husband who went MIA during an assignment against the Garleans. After no body being found over the last near decade he's been gone, everyone has safely assumed he is dead and Lili no longer mourns her first and only true love. He was also of Ala Mhigan descent and large for a Highlander (7 fulms).

''●''[[Adokenai Kodomo]]: A young Lalachild who Lili met at the Quicksand one day. Since meeting, Lili had adopted the little boy as her own. He even calls her 'Mom' regularly, and comes running to her whenever he sees her. Usually when seen together, the little boy is being held by his new mother or playing around some where near by.

''●''Khavan Nightwing: Lili's oldest child and oldest son. At nineteen years of age, nearing twenty, Khavan is engaged to a male elezen and usually bothers Lili for wedding preperation.

''●''Sarameda Silverlark: Youngest twin daughter of Lilithium Altair and Amore Silverlark.

''●''Deisarameda Silverlark: Oldest twin daughter of Lilithium Altair and Amore Silverlark.

●Rahsha Altair: A Sunseeker miqo'te that Lili's parents found when Lili was only five. Abandoned on a supply ship, no one knows her tribal origin and could never relocate birth parents. Rahsha and Lili grew apart after Lili left home, and now the two rarely see one another. A short time ago she learned what hand Rahsha had to play in the death of their parents, and while it's helped Lili understand her adopted sister more, it still hasn't mended the bridge between them.

''●''Andromeda and Reiko Altair (deceased): Lili's parents died shortly after the twins were born in a simple but tragic fire. Both were botanists who were unmatched in their knowledge of the land and its bountiful treasures.

=== Other Relationships ===

''●''[[Aedan Mathis]]: On her way to gather herbs in the Sylphlands, she came across a Hyur slumped over his faithful chocobo. Bloodied and unconscious, Lili took him to the nearby Sanctum of the Twelve and managed to save his life. While the two aren't in close contact, she sees him sporadically and keep in the back of her mind his offer to look after her children as a way of thanks for her helping him.

''●''[[Aya Foxheart]]: The Quicksand's favorite barmaid, Lili worked alongside C'kayah to help Aya with some personal problems, and offered the woman multiple safe places to hide away at should she had needed it. Afterwards, she hasn't seen much of her, though that hasn't stopped the affection she began to feel towards the woman.

''♥●''[[Azeiox Nelles]]: An elezen Lili met one day at the Quicksand who always seems to be looking out for her son and letting him right on his shoulder without batting an eye. Intimidating at first, she later found his more quiet nature to be comforting and enjoys spending time with him when she can. The nature of their relationship to outsiders appears friendly, though if there is anything else going on they certainly don't show it. In private they made the decision to become lovers, and developments are still very fresh and new between them. The time they have spent together is very few and far between, but it seems to fit Lili just fine.

●[[Chokho Viqqoh]]: A Keeper woman Lili met at the fishfry event the Society put on, she flirted rather heavily with Lili and even poured a cup of water on her to see her wet in her bikkini. They met up later when they found out they were neighbors, and have started a comfortable friendship. Chokho has made her attraction known, and Lili returned the sentiment. Their lives keep them busy and often apart, though they make time to spend with one another when they can. With the passage of weeks Lili's affections have softened, though she still wonders how the miqo'te woman is doing.

''♥●''[[C'kayah Tia]]: A Miqo'te who once supplied Lili with alchemical materials she was having a hard time acquiring, he was smitten with her from the start and she rejected his advances over and over again. Instead, teasing him with playful retorts and equally playful skepticism. They ended up being around one another off and on as time went on, and over time Lili came to see that his feelings and gestures were indeed sincere and affectionate by his repeat efforts to prove such. Since asking her to be his mate, and she in turn asking him to marry her, the two have been through great obstacles that have made them stronger then ever. When seen together, Lili couldn't be happier.

''●''[[Darturu Torlan]]: Darturu and Lili were once mated, but his co-creation of the Blacktalon Vanguard made balancing work and a relationship difficult. The two eventually decided to part ways, still caring for one another, but now left to their own devices. As time has passed and seeing less and less of him, her feelings had softened to the point where romance is no longer something she entertains with the Miqo'te. They have not seen one another since she left the Vanguard, and she seems to have no desire to change that.

''●''[[Dheina Tayuun]]: A young Miqo'te she met when coming back to Ul'dah via her previous mate, Darturu. They keep in touch sporadically, and have a pleasent friendship.

♥●[[Graeldelon Bloodrage]]: One of the newer members of the Society, Lili doesn't know the young man very well. However she can occasionally be caught looking at him with a faint and curious little smile as well as fussing over recent wounds he suffered as part of a training exercise.

''●''●[[Kagewoe Erasus]]: Fiance of Nymira's, Kage is also one of her officers. While she is not close to the male, she is confident in his abilities to help her and Nym keep everyone in line and together. Recent events with the Society have the two walking on thin ice around one another and generally not around one another.

''●''[[Kal Numara]]: A Highlander woman who is also a friend of Lili's. Usually teasing her, and constantly referring to her as 'Mama' or 'Mama Lili'. Such teasings are usually met with Lili retaliating (playfully so).

[[Kenthy Pennyfeather|''●''Kenthy Pennyfeather]]: A miqo'te Lili met through her interractions with C'kayah and the Morbolvines, she's grown a light friendship with the woman, as well as quite a bit of respect due to the help that was given to her during her experience in the form of a Moonkeeper. Despite her sassy and slightly abrasive nature, Lili finds her pleasent. During a series of discussions involving Kenthy and C'kayah's desire to add intimacy to their current relationship, Kenthy lashed out at Lili in a way that had her feeling almost hostile towards the woman. Later on, the two women managed to patch things up and Lili gave Kenthy her blessing to be involved with C'kayah. She doesn't see the redhead regular, but should one ask she considers her a friend.

''♥●''[[Kaiten Skyborn]]: Lili and this hyur were involved for an extended period as lovers and friends. Due to less and less time spent together and Lili's recent engagement to C'kayah, the two had drifted apart and Kaiten soon disappeared from her life completely. Without warning, he came to her office one night with vows of love and how much he had missed her. Revealing that falling in love with another woman helped him better understand how she could love him and C'kayah both in her own ways and at the same time, it helped with their reconciliation and the slow process of coming together once more.

''●''[[Kaohastraal Aeseroix]]:A very large roe man that was introduced to Lili via T'shina at the fish fry event. His Garlean name took her aback at first, but when they started talking he eased her mind and explained some of his story. He's admitted to having an interest in her on many levels, and they've agreed to simply get to know one another. Though it's hard to know what Lili is thinking when they're seen together. As of late, she's started helping him with a number of private matters regarding his 'health'.

''●''[[Katiti Kati]]: Lili met this Lalafell around the time she met Ado, who served alongside Toff as one of the Lalachild's unofficial guardians. She eventually joined the Society, being hired as Ado's official teacher. Lili trusts her judgement, but worries with how much she stresses over things all the time.

[[Kolhi'to Embhre|''●''Kolhi'to Embhre]]: Creator of the Blacktalon Vanguard and Lili's former employer, Lili has known Kol for quite some time. However, they seem neither friendly nor hostile. Instead only polite when meeting or speaking in passing. More often then not Kol's grumpy attitude tends to irk Lili even if she may not always show it.

''●''[[Leon Maxwell]]: A young boy Lili met through Tenha'a, she's done her best to look out for his well being and educate him on matters he inquires about, such as love. Knowing a few tidbits about his current health and situation, she's been doing some research into what can possibly be done to help him. Between her work in the Society and his involvements in other matters, assisting him hasn't been as large of a priority. Recently, she learned that he found a cure which brought her happiness to know that perhaps now he could live a long and healthy life.

♥●[[Locke Rinannis]]: She had seen this man when he was around one of the free company houses next to Blacktalon, though never spoke to him or approached him. Later, she heard he was looking for work and offered him a job at the Society. He's one of her most quiet employees, and as a result she actively tries to drag him around the others and be social. His polite demeanor and timidity charms her, and she finds him rather attractive though she values him as a friend and workmate moreso then anything.

''●''[[Mouse Wytchwood]]: A miqo'te girl with odd origins and green hair, Lili has always regarded the girl with motherly concern and attention. From watching her from afar or explaining terms and concepts she does not easily grasp or helping with her hair. She knows enough of Mouse's backstory to keep her eye on the girl when she's able to, and to try and guide harm out of her way.

''●''[[Nymira Valeroyant]]: One of the members of the Society and its' main healer, Nym is not only a good friend of Lili's but also one of her officers to help keep the Society running smoothly.

''●''[[Rock Shattermountain]]: A Highlander Lili has recently met when helping with the Pumpkin Cafe opening night. He also is a friend of her adopted son, Ado. After a night out together, he confessed to feelings of a more romantic nature, and the two have been slowly getting to know one another from there. He is also the one that gave her a little pet fawn whom she affectionately calls Dot. As their interractions have progressed, as well as his hints and confessions to seeing Lili as a prospective wife, it left her flattered by his intense emotions. While she still cares for him, they have drifted into more of a close friendship.

●[[Tendha'a Rendha]]: A male Miqo'te whom Lili met shortly after the creation of the Vanguard. The two quickly became friends and confidants, and he is the mate of T'shina Vashka. Since Lili and C'kayah started seeing one another, neither of the two have spoken much and he never said a word when he officially left the Society with T'shina and a few others.

''●''●[[Toff Vaughn]]: One of Ado's original guardians, Lili went to Toff and Katiti before she formally adopted Ado. While she respects the man, his childish bouts of attitude test the limits of her temper, including with how he has grown the habit lately of flirting with taken women. Whether he seems to know they're taken or not.

''●''●[[Togy Brandmakt]]: A previous lover, the two seperated due to Togy's wanderings and traveling keeping them apart moreso then together. While not on bad terms, his unstable nature and her mixed responses to his off days makes their interractions a hit-or-miss.

●[[T'shina Vashka]]: A young woman Lili regards as a friend, the recent interractions Lili has had with C'kayah has strained their relationship. Afterwards, the two didn't speak for a while and had one rather large argument that Tenha'a even became part that drove Lili away emotionally. Things never fully recovered after that, and when finding out that Lili and C'kayah were still together, she resigned from the Society.

●[[U'zhan Tia]]: A Miqo'te that Lili met due to his associations with T'shina, he asked Lili to go adventuring with him. Shortly afterwards, he stopped speaking with her. Having gotten the impression he was very much like the womanizing 'Nunh' types he claimed to dislike so much, Lili has had very little desire to rekindle a friendship. With his mating to one of her employees, Liandri, she is slowly getting more accustomed to seeing the man hanging around the Society grounds.

== History/Timeline ==

[[File:BirfdayLili.jpg]]

=== 1544-1559 Childhood/adolescence ===

Born an only child, Lili had a comfortable life with her parents living in Ul'dah. Taking frequent trips to the countryside and the desert to look for new herbs and roots and other things that were in demand or that her parents needed to discover. They met a variety of people and went a variety places before Lili even learned how to walk, though their home territory was always Ul'dah and the Thanalans. Around the time Lili was just turning five, her parents decided to relocate to La Noscea and start maping and surveying the lush island terrain. While on the cargo ship to Limsa Lominsa, the Altairs discovered a tiny bundle that was wailing and screaming and covered in bloodied rags. A newborn Miqo'te child, still covered in the blood of labor pains, though with no mother in sight. No one on the ship knew where she came from, and eventually Lili's parents made her part of the family and named her Rahsha.

Time passed easily in La Noscea. Lili treasured little Rahsha as if she was a blood sister. The tail and ears were only a cute little addition Lili liked to play with. Around the time she was eight and Rahsha was barely three, a family moved in nearby from Ala Mhigo with a single child of their own. A dark skinned, blonde haired, red eyed little prankster of a boy named Ghislan Nightwing. He was immidiately taken with Lili, even as a young boy, and showed it in his typical fashion of flipping her skirts, pulling on her head, and throwing sand and mud balls at he face. This usually earned him retaliation of equal brutality by Lili, with assistance from little Rahsha while their parents looked on with affection and amusement.

The years passed without incident. The comings and goings of the outside world seemed far away from Lili. Her life consisted of her family and Ghislan, and it seemed to be all she needed. As Ghislan and Lili got older, they went from children to friends, and before long, they were fawning over one another in the typical girlish and boyish fashions. Shortly after Lili's fourteenth birthday gathering, their love for one another was too much to be contained (in their young eyes at least). Following their coupling, Lili realized she was pregnant, and the two quickly escaped into the night to find the closest Priestess of Menphina to bless a union between them. Their elopement was received with a measure of shock and surprise that was quickly welcomed by all, save for Rahsha. Feeling that her sister abandoned her, the little Miqo'te never quite outgrew such feelings.

And thus began the life of Mrs. Lilithium Nightwing.

=== 1559-1569 Lilithium Amal'thea Nightwing ===

The married life was one Lili slipped into with ease. Shortly after turning fifteen summers, she gave birth to Khavan Amadeus Nightwing, who looked more like his father then anything else. Despite being young, they were hard working with Lili spending the majority of her time as a house wife taking care of their son with the aide of both of their parents. While Rahsha was loving to a degree to Khavan, she was still distant with her sister. It was something that, while Lili mourned for the lack of emotion she got from her, she couldn't focus on too deeply and still provide the needed care for her family.

During the first few years of their marriage, Ghislan continued to grow. Taller and taller and taller, reaching well past the average height for a Highlander. While it certainly got attention in a crowd and delighted Lili as well, it caught the eye of a few mercenary groups who saw great potential. Soon, he was recruited and cycled through a few companies who paid well and the work was mostly geared towards training. It brought in enough profit that Lili and Ghislan built their family home from the ground up. A beautiful, pale stoned cottage melded with shells from the nearby shore.

Throwing a grand celebration with friends to honor the new homestead, everyone (even Lili) drank in good cheer. One man amoungst them, however, took advantage of the situation. A long time friend of the couples' who joined Ghislan as a healer in some of his fights and jobs, his poor health would be the death of him soon and they all knew it. Amore Silverlark was his name, and he was the only living member of his family. Determined to not leave this world without carrying out his family name, he guided a very intoxicated Lili to a back room to take advantage, and succeeded with getting her pregnant. Overcome by guilt, he confessed to Ghislan who nearly killed him on the spot were it not for Lili intervening. Barely able to let it pass, Ghislan agreed to curb his animosity while it was discussed on what to do. A few weeks later, Amore succumbed to his illness and passed away, leaving Lili and Ghislan with two choices: Keep the illegitimate children, or find a way to terminate the pregnancy.

Months later, Deisarameda and Sarameda Silverlark were born. In honor of Amore and Ghislan's more happy history together, they kept the surname and Ghislan raised them as his own. Sadly, they inherited their father's illness and were in poor health as children and even into their now adult life.

Shortly after the girls were born, Lili's parents died abruptly in a house fire. Mere days later, Rahsha disappeared with what little belongings she covered from the fire. To this day, Lili has rarely seen sight of her adopted sister and has heard rumors that she retreated to the Shroud to perhaps find clues to her true family.

The years passed without incident. Ghislan put aside his mercenary life to join the military efforts around La Noscea and even beyond. During one particular assignment he was doing freelance for the Immortal Flames, they were attacked by Garleans in which Ghislan was captured and taken away. There was never a body recovered, and Lili was wracked by grief for a number of years. Even with her children there as support, it slowly became accepted that Ghislan was likely dead and never returning. Her soulmate, the love of her life, the father of her children, was gone. There was no more to be done.

And so, life went on.

Lili ended up retaking her maiden name of Altair a few years after Ghislan passed, not feeling right baring the name of her dead husband. The day of the Calamity, Lili and her three children visited the empty grave on a little cliff over looking the sea that was dedicated to Ghislan. All four watched in complete horror as the world around them was torn to bits and land and buildings became decimated. Thankfully, their home remained intact and they suffered no severe losses. Lili focused more on her alchemical talents to help locals and those in the cities while making a little extra money for herself and her family. Within the last two years, her children grew up into beautiful, capable young adults. All three starting to go their own ways to build their new lives. It left Lili in an interesting position: After almost two decades of being married, being widowed, raising children...she now had time to focus on herself. A thrilling but frightening prospect she still has difficulty comprehending to this day.

Lili spent the first few months trying to find hobbies. Interests. Even dabbling in the company of courtesans to appease some of the loneliness seeped into her heart. Money that Ghislan left behind in his passing was enough to sustain her day-to-day life, but she still felt empty. Unfulfilled. Without her soulmate, she began to wonder if she'd eventually die of a broken heart the way some songbirds did when their mates passed. During a trip out by Moraby, Lili came across a Miqo'te man named [[Kolhi'to Embhre]] who passed along a possible business proposition at his free company, Black Sun Trading. Intrigued, Lili followed through on the matter and found employment working for the Silverstars, Matthias and Althena. It gave her a new purpose and new motivation, and during that time she met and had a brief coupling with one of her coworkers named [[Togy Brandmakt]]. While things didn't last, it opened a door for her she never thought she'd try again: Dating.

Work for Lili in Black Sun was usually fairly slow, with the occasional incident breaking up the monotony of each daily routine. But the people were interesting, and many interesting occurrences happened in the Bismarck from laughter to violence. Later, it was announced that the trading company would become an academy (Black Sun Academy), and Lili became the school receptionist. She kept an eye when she could on some of the more naive members and prospective students, including a young woman named [[Mouse Wytchwood]]. Through an old lover, Lili learned of Mouse's mysterious nature and past and vowed to keep it quiet and continue to help watching the girl from afar. Her focus became the school, as well as finding ways to relieve herself of her loneliness. She took her alchemy back up again, as well as continued her parents' legacy and proficiency in botany.

More time passed with very little incident. For a period, Lili was surrounded by an influx of interested parties who wished to start relationships with her. Only one caught her interest in the end, a miqo'te man she met through Kolhi'to named [[Darturu Torlan]]. Charmed and taken in by his good manners, wit, and appearence, he soon became a regular part of her life. And soon, a significant other. Shortly after this her youngest daughter, Sarameda, became ill. Needing constant care and attention, Lili took an extended period of time to be with her daughter and away from the world. Including away from Darturu.

Shortly after Sara finally recovered, Lili heard everyone had relocated to Ul'dah to start up a new company with Kolhi'to as head of the organization. A mercenary group called the Blacktalon Vanguard, and Darturu was his partner. Lili relocated so as to help with the group, as well as be supportive of Dart. While the relationship with Darturu didn't last and they eventually parted ways, she still met many new people and still talks to quite a few even after she left the Vanguard to start her own group, the Free Wing Society. During this time she met a young lalachild named [[Adokenai Kodomo]], a resident tot at the Quicksand that seemed to be cared after by Momodi and the adventurers that inhabited the place. So taken by him, she decided to adopt the boy as her own and the announcement was made at the opening of the Pumpkin Cafe. There, she met two people: [[Rock Shattermountain]] and [[Sarial Hawke]], both of whom took a liking to the woman and her charms. They later joined the Society, along with others that Lili knew from Blacktalon and beyond.

Also during this time, she met a man named [[C'kayah Tia]] who supplied with her alchemical regents that she was having a hard time getting a hold of. The attraction between the two was almost instant, and at the end of the night Lili decided to give him a link to her personal pearl. Not expecting to hear from him for quite some time (if ever), Lili was surprised when he got a hold of her almost immediately afterwards. It set off a chain of interactions that sent them down an unexpectedly passionate path of emotions and intimacy that Lili never seemed able to push aside. Even though at the begining she was wary, he made her feel like she could take a chance. It led her to meeting even more people, like [[Kenthy Pennyfeather]] and [[Miah Polaali]], and eventually led to her and Kayah becoming mates. While their relationship was 'open' and unconventional, she also took in a lover named [[Kaiten Skyborn]] while C'kayah took in his own interests.

The Society continued to thrive, though some of her friendships suffered as a product of her relationship with C'kayah. Her long standing friendship with [[T'shina Vashka]] and [[Tenha'a Rendha]] being the primary ones, as their dislike of C'kayah and vehemence against Lili being with him led to them recently leaving the Society. While this happened, Lili remained firm in her decision to spend her future with the male. Life continued to change, and still does to this day. Most recently she and C'kayah have become engaged, she has offered her and the Society's aid in the Doman refugee matters, and continues raising and caring after Ado.

'''Currently''': Lili remains working, balancing a home and professional life as best as she's able. She's usually found in Ul'dah or her company house, managing her employees or organizing relations and jobs. More often then not her time is work related save for those rare moments where she spends time quietly with her fiance, a friend, or a lover. Much of her business affairs seem to revolve around a few of her members that require 'special' care due to their natures or conditions both aetherical and non.

:-Lili is very kind and affectionate to most people she meets. That doesn't necessarily mean she's flirting with you. 
:-I tend to ignore or shut down individuals who get upset OOC about not being romantically involved with Lili and/or not getting the oppurtunity. She didn't pick you so there's probably a reason. Get over it.

=== General ===

'''Lilithium Altair (Lil-ith-ium Ah-l-tair) '''is a older Hyur midlander who is often seen in and around Ul'dah and various other parts of Eorzea. Her maternal nature and affectionate disposition leaves her well liked by most who come across her. Widowed three years before the Calamity and with her three children all grown and out of the house as of roughly a year ago, Lili finds that she's able to focus on herself and her own happiness for the first time since her teens. It's left her with many doorways of oppurtunity to choose from, some full of light and adventure while others harbor a darker purpose...

Recently, she has become the owner of a staffing company known as the Free Wing Society and adopted a little boy named Adokenai. On top of that, she has opened her heart that led to avenues she never dared dream were possible. She currently has a mate/fiance (C'kayah Tia), and has been pursuing various interests that range from people to books to trying her hand at the aetheric arts.

'''Note: Lili is able to see the aether of various individuals she meets. They manifest as light and colors, and I will sometimes whisper people OOC to determine what their aether is like so Lili can react or adjust accordingly.'''

=== Appearance ===

[[File:LiliSelf.png|none|LiliSelf.png]]

Standing at 5 fulm and 4 ilm, Lili is used to seeing the world from the shorter side of things. She used to wear her pale blonde hair long and nearly to her elbows, but almost two moons ago she chopped it rather short. Recently, she's grown it out again. Her eyes are very light green with a silvery cast to the color to give it an odd shimmering quality. While her features deceive others of her true age, she bares what marks she has with pride: Some crows feet at the corner of her eyes that show when she laughs, and similar lines at the corner of her lips that only start to show when she is smiling broadly. Having bared three children (two of which were twins), she was left with rather shapely hips and added curves that she had not possessed in her youth. One of the physical features most noticed by some who meet Lili is her rather large bust despite her small size. It usually causes her a myriad of problems, as some of her shorter Miqo'te friends and Lalafell companions sometimes get suffocated when she hugs them. The rest of her is well toned from the muscle and strenght it takes to wield her axe and fist weapons, and sunkissed from her years by the shores of Limsa or the sands of Ul'dah. Around her neck is a long chain with little silver fingerbells attached to it, and on her ring finger looks to be a wedding or engagement ring of some kind.

[[File:LiliandWhisper2.jpg|none|LiliandWhisper2.jpg]]

=== Behavior ===

Having gotten pregnant at fourteen and raising or looking after her children and those of others left Lili with a maternal nature that has been driven down to the core of her very being. She tends to look out for those around her, especially those that she feels a soft spot for, or those around her children's age (teens to early twenties range). Though this maternal drive of hers doesn't make her a pushover in the least, as it is possible to ignite her ire with the right buttons being pushed. Over all, she's calm and even tempered and usually the voice of reason for those around her. Ever one to play devil's advocate.

== Combat ==

=== General ===

Lili hasn't had much of a need to show her skills publically, but in the few times she's sparred with friends she's shown a great aptitude for a martial arts style of combat. Her fists, being her primary weapon, are usually not the thing to worry about. They sometimes serve as a mere distraction for her rather powerful legs to catch someone off guard. When she does happen to use her axe, it's an interesting sight since some of the weaponry are almost as big as she is. Yet she yields them with ease, using all her force with each blow. She fights with a certain level of honor, though if the situation should call for it she won't be afraid to play dirty.

=== Family ===

●Ghislan Nightwing (deceased): Lili's late husband who went MIA during an assignment against the Garleans. After no body being found over the last near decade he's been gone, everyone has safely assumed he is dead and Lili no longer mourns her first and only true love. He was also of Ala Mhigan descent and large for a Highlander (7 fulms).

''●''[[Adokenai Kodomo]]: A young Lalachild who Lili met at the Quicksand one day. Since meeting, Lili had adopted the little boy as her own. He even calls her 'Mom' regularly, and comes running to her whenever he sees her. Usually when seen together, the little boy is being held by his new mother or playing around some where near by.

''●''Khavan Nightwing: Lili's oldest child and oldest son. At nineteen years of age, nearing twenty, Khavan is engaged to a male elezen and usually bothers Lili for wedding preperation.

''●''Sarameda Silverlark: Youngest twin daughter of Lilithium Altair and Amore Silverlark.

''●''Deisarameda Silverlark: Oldest twin daughter of Lilithium Altair and Amore Silverlark.

●Rahsha Altair: A Sunseeker miqo'te that Lili's parents found when Lili was only five. Abandoned on a supply ship, no one knows her tribal origin and could never relocate birth parents. Rahsha and Lili grew apart after Lili left home, and now the two rarely see one another.

''●''Andromeda and Reiko Altair (deceased): Lili's parents died shortly after the twins were born in a simple but tragic fire. Both were botanists who were unmatched in their knowledge of the land and its bountiful treasures.

=== Other Relationships ===

''●''[[Aedan Mathis]]: On her way to gather herbs in the Sylphlands, she came across a Hyur slumped over his faithful chocobo. Bloodied and unconscious, Lili took him to the nearby Sanctum of the Twelve and managed to save his life. While the two aren't in close contact, she sees him sporadically and keep in the back of her mind his offer to look after her children as a way of thanks for her helping him.

''●''[[Aya Foxheart]]: The Quicksand's favorite barmaid, Lili worked alongside C'kayah to help Aya with some personal problems, and offered the woman multiple safe places to hide away at should she had needed it. Afterwards, she hasn't seen much of her, though that hasn't stopped the affection she began to feel towards the woman.

''♥●''[[Azeiox Nelles]]: An elezen Lili met one day at the Quicksand who always seems to be looking out for her son and letting him right on his shoulder without batting an eye. Intimidating at first, she later found his more quiet nature to be comforting and enjoys spending time with him when she can. The nature of their relationship to outsiders appears friendly, though if there is anything else going on they certainly don't show it. In private they made the decision to become lovers, and developments are still very fresh and new between them. The time they have spent together is very few and far between, but it seems to fit Lili just fine.

●[[Chokho Viqqoh]]: A Keeper woman Lili met at the fishfry event the Society put on, she flirted rather heavily with Lili and even poured a cup of water on her to see her wet in her bikkini. They met up later when they found out they were neighbors, and have started a comfortable friendship. Chokho has made her attraction known, and Lili returned the sentiment. Their lives keep them busy and often apart, though they make time to spend with one another when they can. With the passage of weeks Lili's affections have softened, though she still wonders how the miqo'te woman is doing.

''♥●''[[C'kayah Tia]]: A Miqo'te who once supplied Lili with alchemical materials she was having a hard time acquiring, he was smitten with her from the start and she rejected his advances over and over again. Instead, teasing him with playful retorts and equally playful skepticism. They ended up being around one another off and on as time went on, and over time Lili came to see that his feelings and gestures were indeed sincere and affectionate by his repeat efforts to prove such. Since asking her to be his mate, and she in turn asking him to marry her, the two have been through great obstacles that have made them stronger then ever. When seen together, Lili couldn't be happier.

''●''[[Darturu Torlan]]: Darturu and Lili were once mated, but his co-creation of the Blacktalon Vanguard made balancing work and a relationship difficult. The two eventually decided to part ways, still caring for one another, but now left to their own devices. As time has passed and seeing less and less of him, her feelings had softened to the point where romance is no longer something she entertains with the Miqo'te. They have not seen one another since she left the Vanguard, and she seems to have no desire to change that.

''●''[[Dheina Tayuun]]: A young Miqo'te she met when coming back to Ul'dah via her previous mate, Darturu. They keep in touch sporadically, and have a pleasent friendship.

♥●[[Graeldelon Bloodrage]]: One of the newer members of the Society, Lili doesn't know the young man very well. However she can occasionally be caught looking at him with a faint and curious little smile as well as fussing over recent wounds he suffered as part of a training exercise.

''●''●[[Kagewoe Erasus]]: Fiance of Nymira's, Kage is also one of her officers. While she is not close to the male, she is confident in his abilities to help her and Nym keep everyone in line and together. Recent events with the Society have the two walking on thin ice around one another and generally not around one another.

''●''[[Kal Numara]]: A Highlander woman who is also a friend of Lili's. Usually teasing her, and constantly referring to her as 'Mama' or 'Mama Lili'. Such teasings are usually met with Lili retaliating (playfully so).

[[Kenthy Pennyfeather|''●''Kenthy Pennyfeather]]: A miqo'te Lili met through her interractions with C'kayah and the Morbolvines, she's grown a light friendship with the woman, as well as quite a bit of respect due to the help that was given to her during her experience in the form of a Moonkeeper. Despite her sassy and slightly abrasive nature, Lili finds her pleasent. During a series of discussions involving Kenthy and C'kayah's desire to add intimacy to their current relationship, Kenthy lashed out at Lili in a way that had her feeling almost hostile towards the woman. Later on, the two women managed to patch things up and Lili gave Kenthy her blessing to be involved with C'kayah. She doesn't see the redhead regular, but should one ask she considers her a friend.

''♥●''[[Kaiten Skyborn]]: Lili and this hyur were involved for an extended period as lovers and friends. Due to less and less time spent together and Lili's recent engagement to C'kayah, the two had drifted apart and Kaiten soon disappeared from her life completely. Without warning, he came to her office one night with vows of love and how much he had missed her. Revealing that falling in love with another woman helped him better understand how she could love him and C'kayah both in her own ways and at the same time, it helped with their reconciliation and the slow process of coming together once more.

''●''[[Kaohastraal Aeseroix]]:A very large roe man that was introduced to Lili via T'shina at the fish fry event. His Garlean name took her aback at first, but when they started talking he eased her mind and explained some of his story. He's admitted to having an interest in her on many levels, and they've agreed to simply get to know one another. Though it's hard to know what Lili is thinking when they're seen together. As of late, she's started helping him with a number of private matters regarding his 'health'.

''●''[[Katiti Kati]]: Lili met this Lalafell around the time she met Ado, who served alongside Toff as one of the Lalachild's unofficial guardians. She eventually joined the Society, being hired as Ado's official teacher. Lili trusts her judgement, but worries with how much she stresses over things all the time.

[[Kolhi'to Embhre|''●''Kolhi'to Embhre]]: Creator of the Blacktalon Vanguard and Lili's former employer, Lili has known Kol for quite some time. However, they seem neither friendly nor hostile. Instead only polite when meeting or speaking in passing. More often then not Kol's grumpy attitude tends to irk Lili even if she may not always show it.

''●''[[Leon Maxwell]]: A young boy Lili met through Tenha'a, she's done her best to look out for his well being and educate him on matters he inquires about, such as love. Knowing a few tidbits about his current health and situation, she's been doing some research into what can possibly be done to help him. Between her work in the Society and his involvements in other matters, assisting him hasn't been as large of a priority. Recently, she learned that he found a cure which brought her happiness to know that perhaps now he could live a long and healthy life.

♥●[[Locke Rinannis]]: She had seen this man when he was around one of the free company houses next to Blacktalon, though never spoke to him or approached him. Later, she heard he was looking for work and offered him a job at the Society. He's one of her most quiet employees, and as a result she actively tries to drag him around the others and be social. His polite demeanor and timidity charms her, and she finds him rather attractive though she values him as a friend and workmate moreso then anything.

''●''[[Mouse Wytchwood]]: A miqo'te girl with odd origins and green hair, Lili has always regarded the girl with motherly concern and attention. From watching her from afar or explaining terms and concepts she does not easily grasp or helping with her hair. She knows enough of Mouse's backstory to keep her eye on the girl when she's able to, and to try and guide harm out of her way.

''●''[[Nymira Valeroyant]]: One of the members of the Society and its' main healer, Nym is not only a good friend of Lili's but also one of her officers to help keep the Society running smoothly.

''●''[[Rock Shattermountain]]: A Highlander Lili has recently met when helping with the Pumpkin Cafe opening night. He also is a friend of her adopted son, Ado. After a night out together, he confessed to feelings of a more romantic nature, and the two have been slowly getting to know one another from there. He is also the one that gave her a little pet fawn whom she affectionately calls Dot. As their interractions have progressed, as well as his hints and confessions to seeing Lili as a prospective wife, it left her flattered by his intense emotions. While she still cares for him, they have drifted into more of a close friendship.

●[[Tendha'a Rendha]]: A male Miqo'te whom Lili met shortly after the creation of the Vanguard. The two quickly became friends and confidants, and he is the mate of T'shina Vashka. Since Lili and C'kayah started seeing one another, neither of the two have spoken much and he never said a word when he officially left the Society with T'shina and a few others.

''●''●[[Toff Vaughn]]: One of Ado's original guardians, Lili went to Toff and Katiti before she formally adopted Ado. While she respects the man, his childish bouts of attitude test the limits of her temper, including with how he has grown the habit lately of flirting with taken women. Whether he seems to know they're taken or not.

''●''●[[Togy Brandmakt]]: A previous lover, the two seperated due to Togy's wanderings and traveling keeping them apart moreso then together. While not on bad terms, his unstable nature and her mixed responses to his off days makes their interractions a hit-or-miss.

●[[T'shina Vashka]]: A young woman Lili regards as a friend, the recent interractions Lili has had with C'kayah has strained their relationship. Afterwards, the two didn't speak for a while and had one rather large argument that Tenha'a even became part that drove Lili away emotionally. Things never fully recovered after that, and when finding out that Lili and C'kayah were still together, she resigned from the Society.

●[[U'zhan Tia]]: A Miqo'te that Lili met due to his associations with T'shina, he asked Lili to go adventuring with him. Shortly afterwards, he stopped speaking with her. Having gotten the impression he was very much like the womanizing 'Nunh' types he claimed to dislike so much, Lili has had very little desire to rekindle a friendship. With his mating to one of her employees, Liandri, she is slowly getting more accustomed to seeing the man hanging around the Society grounds.

== History/Timeline ==

[[File:BirfdayLili.jpg]]

=== 1544-1559 Childhood/adolescence ===

Born an only child, Lili had a comfortable life with her parents living in Ul'dah. Taking frequent trips to the countryside and the desert to look for new herbs and roots and other things that were in demand or that her parents needed to discover. They met a variety of people and went a variety places before Lili even learned how to walk, though their home territory was always Ul'dah and the Thanalans. Around the time Lili was just turning five, her parents decided to relocate to La Noscea and start maping and surveying the lush island terrain. While on the cargo ship to Limsa Lominsa, the Altairs discovered a tiny bundle that was wailing and screaming and covered in bloodied rags. A newborn Miqo'te child, still covered in the blood of labor pains, though with no mother in sight. No one on the ship knew where she came from, and eventually Lili's parents made her part of the family and named her Rahsha.

Time passed easily in La Noscea. Lili treasured little Rahsha as if she was a blood sister. The tail and ears were only a cute little addition Lili liked to play with. Around the time she was eight and Rahsha was barely three, a family moved in nearby from Ala Mhigo with a single child of their own. A dark skinned, blonde haired, red eyed little prankster of a boy named Ghislan Nightwing. He was immidiately taken with Lili, even as a young boy, and showed it in his typical fashion of flipping her skirts, pulling on her head, and throwing sand and mud balls at he face. This usually earned him retaliation of equal brutality by Lili, with assistance from little Rahsha while their parents looked on with affection and amusement.

The years passed without incident. The comings and goings of the outside world seemed far away from Lili. Her life consisted of her family and Ghislan, and it seemed to be all she needed. As Ghislan and Lili got older, they went from children to friends, and before long, they were fawning over one another in the typical girlish and boyish fashions. Shortly after Lili's fourteenth birthday gathering, their love for one another was too much to be contained (in their young eyes at least). Following their coupling, Lili realized she was pregnant, and the two quickly escaped into the night to find the closest Priestess of Menphina to bless a union between them. Their elopement was received with a measure of shock and surprise that was quickly welcomed by all, save for Rahsha. Feeling that her sister abandoned her, the little Miqo'te never quite outgrew such feelings.

And thus began the life of Mrs. Lilithium Nightwing.

=== 1559-1569 Lilithium Amal'thea Nightwing ===

The married life was one Lili slipped into with ease. Shortly after turning fifteen summers, she gave birth to Khavan Amadeus Nightwing, who looked more like his father then anything else. Despite being young, they were hard working with Lili spending the majority of her time as a house wife taking care of their son with the aide of both of their parents. While Rahsha was loving to a degree to Khavan, she was still distant with her sister. It was something that, while Lili mourned for the lack of emotion she got from her, she couldn't focus on too deeply and still provide the needed care for her family.

During the first few years of their marriage, Ghislan continued to grow. Taller and taller and taller, reaching well past the average height for a Highlander. While it certainly got attention in a crowd and delighted Lili as well, it caught the eye of a few mercenary groups who saw great potential. Soon, he was recruited and cycled through a few companies who paid well and the work was mostly geared towards training. It brought in enough profit that Lili and Ghislan built their family home from the ground up. A beautiful, pale stoned cottage melded with shells from the nearby shore.

Throwing a grand celebration with friends to honor the new homestead, everyone (even Lili) drank in good cheer. One man amoungst them, however, took advantage of the situation. A long time friend of the couples' who joined Ghislan as a healer in some of his fights and jobs, his poor health would be the death of him soon and they all knew it. Amore Silverlark was his name, and he was the only living member of his family. Determined to not leave this world without carrying out his family name, he guided a very intoxicated Lili to a back room to take advantage, and succeeded with getting her pregnant. Overcome by guilt, he confessed to Ghislan who nearly killed him on the spot were it not for Lili intervening. Barely able to let it pass, Ghislan agreed to curb his animosity while it was discussed on what to do. A few weeks later, Amore succumbed to his illness and passed away, leaving Lili and Ghislan with two choices: Keep the illegitimate children, or find a way to terminate the pregnancy.

Months later, Deisarameda and Sarameda Silverlark were born. In honor of Amore and Ghislan's more happy history together, they kept the surname and Ghislan raised them as his own. Sadly, they inherited their father's illness and were in poor health as children and even into their now adult life.

Shortly after the girls were born, Lili's parents died abruptly in a house fire. Mere days later, Rahsha disappeared with what little belongings she covered from the fire. To this day, Lili has rarely seen sight of her adopted sister and has heard rumors that she retreated to the Shroud to perhaps find clues to her true family.

The years passed without incident. Ghislan put aside his mercenary life to join the military efforts around La Noscea and even beyond. During one particular assignment he was doing freelance for the Immortal Flames, they were attacked by Garleans in which Ghislan was captured and taken away. There was never a body recovered, and Lili was wracked by grief for a number of years. Even with her children there as support, it slowly became accepted that Ghislan was likely dead and never returning. Her soulmate, the love of her life, the father of her children, was gone. There was no more to be done.

And so, life went on.

=== 1569/0-Present Calamity ===

Lili ended up retaking her maiden name of Altair a few years after Ghislan passed, not feeling right baring the name of her dead husband. The day of the Calamity, Lili and her three children visited the empty grave on a little cliff over looking the sea that was dedicated to Ghislan. All four watched in complete horror as the world around them was torn to bits and land and buildings became decimated. Thankfully, their home remained intact and they suffered no severe losses. Lili focused more on her alchemical talents to help locals and those in the cities while making a little extra money for herself and her family. Within the last two years, her children grew up into beautiful, capable young adults. All three starting to go their own ways to build their new lives. It left Lili in an interesting position: After almost two decades of being married, being widowed, raising children...she now had time to focus on herself. A thrilling but frightening prospect she still has difficulty comprehending to this day.

Lili spent the first few months trying to find hobbies. Interests. Even dabbling in the company of courtesans to appease some of the loneliness seeped into her heart. Money that Ghislan left behind in his passing was enough to sustain her day-to-day life, but she still felt empty. Unfulfilled. Without her soulmate, she began to wonder if she'd eventually die of a broken heart the way some songbirds did when their mates passed. During a trip out by Moraby, Lili came across a Miqo'te man named [[Kolhi'to Embhre]] who passed along a possible business proposition at his free company, Black Sun Trading. Intrigued, Lili followed through on the matter and found employment working for the Silverstars, Matthias and Althena. It gave her a new purpose and new motivation, and during that time she met and had a brief coupling with one of her coworkers named [[Togy Brandmakt]]. While things didn't last, it opened a door for her she never thought she'd try again: Dating.

Work for Lili in Black Sun was usually fairly slow, with the occasional incident breaking up the monotony of each daily routine. But the people were interesting, and many interesting occurrences happened in the Bismarck from laughter to violence. Later, it was announced that the trading company would become an academy (Black Sun Academy), and Lili became the school receptionist. She kept an eye when she could on some of the more naive members and prospective students, including a young woman named [[Mouse Wytchwood]]. Through an old lover, Lili learned of Mouse's mysterious nature and past and vowed to keep it quiet and continue to help watching the girl from afar. Her focus became the school, as well as finding ways to relieve herself of her loneliness. She took her alchemy back up again, as well as continued her parents' legacy and proficiency in botany.

More time passed with very little incident. For a period, Lili was surrounded by an influx of interested parties who wished to start relationships with her. Only one caught her interest in the end, a miqo'te man she met through Kolhi'to named [[Darturu Torlan]]. Charmed and taken in by his good manners, wit, and appearence, he soon became a regular part of her life. And soon, a significant other. Shortly after this her youngest daughter, Sarameda, became ill. Needing constant care and attention, Lili took an extended period of time to be with her daughter and away from the world. Including away from Darturu.

Shortly after Sara finally recovered, Lili heard everyone had relocated to Ul'dah to start up a new company with Kolhi'to as head of the organization. A mercenary group called the Blacktalon Vanguard, and Darturu was his partner. Lili relocated so as to help with the group, as well as be supportive of Dart. While the relationship with Darturu didn't last and they eventually parted ways, she still met many new people and still talks to quite a few even after she left the Vanguard to start her own group, the Free Wing Society. During this time she met a young lalachild named [[Adokenai Kodomo]], a resident tot at the Quicksand that seemed to be cared after by Momodi and the adventurers that inhabited the place. So taken by him, she decided to adopt the boy as her own and the announcement was made at the opening of the Pumpkin Cafe. There, she met two people: [[Rock Shattermountain]] and [[Sarial Hawke]], both of whom took a liking to the woman and her charms. They later joined the Society, along with others that Lili knew from Blacktalon and beyond.

Also during this time, she met a man named [[C'kayah Tia]] who supplied with her alchemical regents that she was having a hard time getting a hold of. The attraction between the two was almost instant, and at the end of the night Lili decided to give him a link to her personal pearl. Not expecting to hear from him for quite some time (if ever), Lili was surprised when he got a hold of her almost immediately afterwards. It set off a chain of interactions that sent them down an unexpectedly passionate path of emotions and intimacy that Lili never seemed able to push aside. Even though at the begining she was wary, he made her feel like she could take a chance. It led her to meeting even more people, like [[Kenthy Pennyfeather]] and [[Miah Polaali]], and eventually led to her and Kayah becoming mates. While their relationship was 'open' and unconventional, she also took in a lover named [[Kaiten Skyborn]] while C'kayah took in his own interests.

The Society continued to thrive, though some of her friendships suffered as a product of her relationship with C'kayah. Her long standing friendship with [[T'shina Vashka]] and [[Tenha'a Rendha]] being the primary ones, as their dislike of C'kayah and vehemence against Lili being with him led to them recently leaving the Society. While this happened, Lili remained firm in her decision to spend her future with the male. Life continued to change, and still does to this day. Most recently she and C'kayah have become engaged, she has offered her and the Society's aid in the Doman refugee matters, and continues raising and caring after Ado.

'''Currently''': Lili remains working, balancing a home and professional life as best as she's able. She's usually found in Ul'dah or her company house, managing her employees or organizing relations and jobs. More often then not her time is work related save for those rare moments where she spends time quietly with her fiance, a friend, or a lover. Much of her business affairs seem to revolve around a few of her members that require 'special' care due to their natures or conditions both aetherical and non.

:-I tend to ignore or shut down individuals who get upset OOC about not being romantically involved with Lili and/or not getting the oppurtunity. She didn't pick you so there's probably a reason. Get over it.

=== General ===

'''Lilithium Altair (Lil-ith-ium Ah-l-tair) '''is a older Hyur midlander who is often seen in and around Ul'dah and various other parts of Eorzea. Her maternal nature and affectionate disposition leaves her well liked by most who come across her. Widowed three years before the Calamity and with her three children all grown and out of the house as of roughly a year ago, Lili finds that she's able to focus on herself and her own happiness for the first time since her teens. It's left her with many doorways of oppurtunity to choose from, some full of light and adventure while others harbor a darker purpose...

Recently, she has become the owner of a staffing company known as the Free Wing Society and adopted a little boy named Adokenai. On top of that, she has opened her heart that led to avenues she never dared dream were possible. She currently has a mate/fiance (C'kayah Tia), and has been pursuing various interests that range from people to books to trying her hand at the aetheric arts.

'''Note: Lili is able to see the aether of various individuals she meets. They manifest as light and colors, and I will sometimes whisper people OOC to determine what their aether is like so Lili can react or adjust accordingly.'''

=== Appearance ===

[[File:LiliSelf.png|none|LiliSelf.png]]

Standing at 5 fulm and 4 ilm, Lili is used to seeing the world from the shorter side of things. She used to wear her pale blonde hair long and nearly to her elbows, but almost two moons ago she chopped it rather short. Recently, she's grown it out again. Her eyes are very light green with a silvery cast to the color to give it an odd shimmering quality. While her features deceive others of her true age, she bares what marks she has with pride: Some crows feet at the corner of her eyes that show when she laughs, and similar lines at the corner of her lips that only start to show when she is smiling broadly. Having bared three children (two of which were twins), she was left with rather shapely hips and added curves that she had not possessed in her youth. One of the physical features most noticed by some who meet Lili is her rather large bust despite her small size. It usually causes her a myriad of problems, as some of her shorter Miqo'te friends and Lalafell companions sometimes get suffocated when she hugs them. The rest of her is well toned from the muscle and strenght it takes to wield her axe and fist weapons, and sunkissed from her years by the shores of Limsa or the sands of Ul'dah. Around her neck is a long chain with little silver fingerbells attached to it, and on her ring finger looks to be a wedding or engagement ring of some kind.

[[File:LiliandWhisper2.jpg|none|LiliandWhisper2.jpg]]

=== Behavior ===

Having gotten pregnant at fourteen and raising or looking after her children and those of others left Lili with a maternal nature that has been driven down to the core of her very being. She tends to look out for those around her, especially those that she feels a soft spot for, or those around her children's age (teens to early twenties range). Though this maternal drive of hers doesn't make her a pushover in the least, as it is possible to ignite her ire with the right buttons being pushed. Over all, she's calm and even tempered and usually the voice of reason for those around her. Ever one to play devil's advocate.

== Combat ==

=== General ===

Lili hasn't had much of a need to show her skills publically, but in the few times she's sparred with friends she's shown a great aptitude for a martial arts style of combat. Her fists, being her primary weapon, are usually not the thing to worry about. They sometimes serve as a mere distraction for her rather powerful legs to catch someone off guard. When she does happen to use her axe, it's an interesting sight since some of the weaponry are almost as big as she is. Yet she yields them with ease, using all her force with each blow. She fights with a certain level of honor, though if the situation should call for it she won't be afraid to play dirty.

== Tendencies ==

[[File:LiliandAdo3.png]]

Always one for trying and learning new things, Lili spends much of her idle time active in one way or another. If she's not relaxing in the Quicksand or the occasional visit to the Drowning Wench, she'll be home or out and about doing some kind of activity or socializing.

=== Family ===

●Ghislan Nightwing (deceased): Lili's late husband who went MIA during an assignment against the Garleans. After no body being found over the last near decade he's been gone, everyone has safely assumed he is dead and Lili no longer mourns her first and only true love. He was also of Ala Mhigan descent and large for a Highlander (7 fulms).

''●''[[Adokenai Kodomo]]: A young Lalachild who Lili met at the Quicksand one day. Since meeting, Lili had adopted the little boy as her own. He even calls her 'Mom' regularly, and comes running to her whenever he sees her. Usually when seen together, the little boy is being held by his new mother or playing around some where near by.

''●''Khavan Nightwing: Lili's oldest child and oldest son. At nineteen years of age, nearing twenty, Khavan is engaged to a male elezen and usually bothers Lili for wedding preperation.

''●''Sarameda Silverlark: Youngest twin daughter of Lilithium Altair and Amore Silverlark.

''●''Deisarameda Silverlark: Oldest twin daughter of Lilithium Altair and Amore Silverlark.

●Rahsha Altair: A Sunseeker miqo'te that Lili's parents found when Lili was only five. Abandoned on a supply ship, no one knows her tribal origin and could never relocate birth parents. Rahsha and Lili grew apart after Lili left home, and now the two rarely see one another.

''●''Andromeda and Reiko Altair (deceased): Lili's parents died shortly after the twins were born in a simple but tragic fire. Both were botanists who were unmatched in their knowledge of the land and its bountiful treasures.

=== Other Relationships ===

''●''[[Aedan Mathis]]: On her way to gather herbs in the Sylphlands, she came across a Hyur slumped over his faithful chocobo. Bloodied and unconscious, Lili took him to the nearby Sanctum of the Twelve and managed to save his life. While the two aren't in close contact, she sees him sporadically and keep in the back of her mind his offer to look after her children as a way of thanks for her helping him.

''●''[[Aya Foxheart]]: The Quicksand's favorite barmaid, Lili worked alongside C'kayah to help Aya with some personal problems, and offered the woman multiple safe places to hide away at should she had needed it. Afterwards, she hasn't seen much of her, though that hasn't stopped the affection she began to feel towards the woman.

''♥●''[[Azeiox Nelles]]: An elezen Lili met one day at the Quicksand who always seems to be looking out for her son and letting him right on his shoulder without batting an eye. Intimidating at first, she later found his more quiet nature to be comforting and enjoys spending time with him when she can. The nature of their relationship to outsiders appears friendly, though if there is anything else going on they certainly don't show it. In private they made the decision to become lovers, and developments are still very fresh and new between them. The time they have spent together is very few and far between, but it seems to fit Lili just fine.

●[[Chokho Viqqoh]]: A Keeper woman Lili met at the fishfry event the Society put on, she flirted rather heavily with Lili and even poured a cup of water on her to see her wet in her bikkini. They met up later when they found out they were neighbors, and have started a comfortable friendship. Chokho has made her attraction known, and Lili returned the sentiment. Their lives keep them busy and often apart, though they make time to spend with one another when they can. With the passage of weeks Lili's affections have softened, though she still wonders how the miqo'te woman is doing.

''♥●''[[C'kayah Tia]]: A Miqo'te who once supplied Lili with alchemical materials she was having a hard time acquiring, he was smitten with her from the start and she rejected his advances over and over again. Instead, teasing him with playful retorts and equally playful skepticism. They ended up being around one another off and on as time went on, and over time Lili came to see that his feelings and gestures were indeed sincere and affectionate by his repeat efforts to prove such. Since asking her to be his mate, and she in turn asking him to marry her, the two have been through great obstacles that have made them stronger then ever. When seen together, Lili couldn't be happier.

''●''[[Darturu Torlan]]: Darturu and Lili were once mated, but his co-creation of the Blacktalon Vanguard made balancing work and a relationship difficult. The two eventually decided to part ways, still caring for one another, but now left to their own devices. As time has passed and seeing less and less of him, her feelings had softened to the point where romance is no longer something she entertains with the Miqo'te. They have not seen one another since she left the Vanguard, and she seems to have no desire to change that.

''●''[[Dheina Tayuun]]: A young Miqo'te she met when coming back to Ul'dah via her previous mate, Darturu. They keep in touch sporadically, and have a pleasent friendship.

♥●[[Graeldelon Bloodrage]]: One of the newer members of the Society, Lili doesn't know the young man very well. However she can occasionally be caught looking at him with a faint and curious little smile as well as fussing over recent wounds he suffered as part of a training exercise.

''●''●[[Kagewoe Erasus]]: Fiance of Nymira's, Kage is also one of her officers. While she is not close to the male, she is confident in his abilities to help her and Nym keep everyone in line and together. Recent events with the Society have the two walking on thin ice around one another and generally not around one another.

''●''[[Kal Numara]]: A Highlander woman who is also a friend of Lili's. Usually teasing her, and constantly referring to her as 'Mama' or 'Mama Lili'. Such teasings are usually met with Lili retaliating (playfully so).

[[Kenthy Pennyfeather|''●''Kenthy Pennyfeather]]: A miqo'te Lili met through her interractions with C'kayah and the Morbolvines, she's grown a light friendship with the woman, as well as quite a bit of respect due to the help that was given to her during her experience in the form of a Moonkeeper. Despite her sassy and slightly abrasive nature, Lili finds her pleasent. During a series of discussions involving Kenthy and C'kayah's desire to add intimacy to their current relationship, Kenthy lashed out at Lili in a way that had her feeling almost hostile towards the woman. Later on, the two women managed to patch things up and Lili gave Kenthy her blessing to be involved with C'kayah. She doesn't see the redhead regular, but should one ask she considers her a friend.

''♥●''[[Kaiten Skyborn]]: Lili and this hyur were involved for an extended period as lovers and friends. Due to less and less time spent together and Lili's recent engagement to C'kayah, the two had drifted apart and Kaiten soon disappeared from her life completely. Without warning, he came to her office one night with vows of love and how much he had missed her. Revealing that falling in love with another woman helped him better understand how she could love him and C'kayah both in her own ways and at the same time, it helped with their reconciliation and the slow process of coming together once more.

''●''[[Kaohastraal Aeseroix]]:A very large roe man that was introduced to Lili via T'shina at the fish fry event. His Garlean name took her aback at first, but when they started talking he eased her mind and explained some of his story. He's admitted to having an interest in her on many levels, and they've agreed to simply get to know one another. Though it's hard to know what Lili is thinking when they're seen together. As of late, she's started helping him with a number of private matters regarding his 'health'.

''●''[[Katiti Kati]]: Lili met this Lalafell around the time she met Ado, who served alongside Toff as one of the Lalachild's unofficial guardians. She eventually joined the Society, being hired as Ado's official teacher. Lili trusts her judgement, but worries with how much she stresses over things all the time.

[[Kolhi'to Embhre|''●''Kolhi'to Embhre]]: Creator of the Blacktalon Vanguard and Lili's former employer, Lili has known Kol for quite some time. However, they seem neither friendly nor hostile. Instead only polite when meeting or speaking in passing. More often then not Kol's grumpy attitude tends to irk Lili even if she may not always show it.

''●''[[Leon Maxwell]]: A young boy Lili met through Tenha'a, she's done her best to look out for his well being and educate him on matters he inquires about, such as love. Knowing a few tidbits about his current health and situation, she's been doing some research into what can possibly be done to help him. Between her work in the Society and his involvements in other matters, assisting him hasn't been as large of a priority. Recently, she learned that he found a cure which brought her happiness to know that perhaps now he could live a long and healthy life.

♥●[[Locke Rinannis]]: She had seen this man when he was around one of the free company houses next to Blacktalon, though never spoke to him or approached him. Later, she heard he was looking for work and offered him a job at the Society. He's one of her most quiet employees, and as a result she actively tries to drag him around the others and be social. His polite demeanor and timidity charms her, and she finds him rather attractive though she values him as a friend and workmate moreso then anything.

''●''[[Mouse Wytchwood]]: A miqo'te girl with odd origins and green hair, Lili has always regarded the girl with motherly concern and attention. From watching her from afar or explaining terms and concepts she does not easily grasp or helping with her hair. She knows enough of Mouse's backstory to keep her eye on the girl when she's able to, and to try and guide harm out of her way.

''●''[[Nymira Valeroyant]]: One of the members of the Society and its' main healer, Nym is not only a good friend of Lili's but also one of her officers to help keep the Society running smoothly.

''●''[[Rock Shattermountain]]: A Highlander Lili has recently met when helping with the Pumpkin Cafe opening night. He also is a friend of her adopted son, Ado. After a night out together, he confessed to feelings of a more romantic nature, and the two have been slowly getting to know one another from there. He is also the one that gave her a little pet fawn whom she affectionately calls Dot. As their interractions have progressed, as well as his hints and confessions to seeing Lili as a prospective wife, it left her flattered by his intense emotions. While she still cares for him, they have drifted into more of a close friendship.

●[[Tendha'a Rendha]]: A male Miqo'te whom Lili met shortly after the creation of the Vanguard. The two quickly became friends and confidants, and he is the mate of T'shina Vashka. Since Lili and C'kayah started seeing one another, neither of the two have spoken much and he never said a word when he officially left the Society with T'shina and a few others.

''●''●[[Toff Vaughn]]: One of Ado's original guardians, Lili went to Toff and Katiti before she formally adopted Ado. While she respects the man, his childish bouts of attitude test the limits of her temper, including with how he has grown the habit lately of flirting with taken women. Whether he seems to know they're taken or not.

''●''●[[Togy Brandmakt]]: A previous lover, the two seperated due to Togy's wanderings and traveling keeping them apart moreso then together. While not on bad terms, his unstable nature and her mixed responses to his off days makes their interractions a hit-or-miss.

●[[T'shina Vashka]]: A young woman Lili regards as a friend, the recent interractions Lili has had with C'kayah has strained their relationship. Afterwards, the two didn't speak for a while and had one rather large argument that Tenha'a even became part that drove Lili away emotionally. Things never fully recovered after that, and when finding out that Lili and C'kayah were still together, she resigned from the Society.

●[[U'zhan Tia]]: A Miqo'te that Lili met due to his associations with T'shina, he asked Lili to go adventuring with him. Shortly afterwards, he stopped speaking with her. Having gotten the impression he was very much like the womanizing 'Nunh' types he claimed to dislike so much, Lili has had very little desire to rekindle a friendship. With his mating to one of her employees, Liandri, she is slowly getting more accustomed to seeing the man hanging around the Society grounds.

== History/Timeline ==

[[File:BirfdayLili.jpg]]

=== 1544-1559 Childhood/adolescence ===

Born an only child, Lili had a comfortable life with her parents living in Ul'dah. Taking frequent trips to the countryside and the desert to look for new herbs and roots and other things that were in demand or that her parents needed to discover. They met a variety of people and went a variety places before Lili even learned how to walk, though their home territory was always Ul'dah and the Thanalans. Around the time Lili was just turning five, her parents decided to relocate to La Noscea and start maping and surveying the lush island terrain. While on the cargo ship to Limsa Lominsa, the Altairs discovered a tiny bundle that was wailing and screaming and covered in bloodied rags. A newborn Miqo'te child, still covered in the blood of labor pains, though with no mother in sight. No one on the ship knew where she came from, and eventually Lili's parents made her part of the family and named her Rahsha.

Time passed easily in La Noscea. Lili treasured little Rahsha as if she was a blood sister. The tail and ears were only a cute little addition Lili liked to play with. Around the time she was eight and Rahsha was barely three, a family moved in nearby from Ala Mhigo with a single child of their own. A dark skinned, blonde haired, red eyed little prankster of a boy named Ghislan Nightwing. He was immidiately taken with Lili, even as a young boy, and showed it in his typical fashion of flipping her skirts, pulling on her head, and throwing sand and mud balls at he face. This usually earned him retaliation of equal brutality by Lili, with assistance from little Rahsha while their parents looked on with affection and amusement.

The years passed without incident. The comings and goings of the outside world seemed far away from Lili. Her life consisted of her family and Ghislan, and it seemed to be all she needed. As Ghislan and Lili got older, they went from children to friends, and before long, they were fawning over one another in the typical girlish and boyish fashions. Shortly after Lili's fourteenth birthday gathering, their love for one another was too much to be contained (in their young eyes at least). Following their coupling, Lili realized she was pregnant, and the two quickly escaped into the night to find the closest Priestess of Menphina to bless a union between them. Their elopement was received with a measure of shock and surprise that was quickly welcomed by all, save for Rahsha. Feeling that her sister abandoned her, the little Miqo'te never quite outgrew such feelings.

And thus began the life of Mrs. Lilithium Nightwing.

=== 1559-1569 Lilithium Amal'thea Nightwing ===

The married life was one Lili slipped into with ease. Shortly after turning fifteen summers, she gave birth to Khavan Amadeus Nightwing, who looked more like his father then anything else. Despite being young, they were hard working with Lili spending the majority of her time as a house wife taking care of their son with the aide of both of their parents. While Rahsha was loving to a degree to Khavan, she was still distant with her sister. It was something that, while Lili mourned for the lack of emotion she got from her, she couldn't focus on too deeply and still provide the needed care for her family.

During the first few years of their marriage, Ghislan continued to grow. Taller and taller and taller, reaching well past the average height for a Highlander. While it certainly got attention in a crowd and delighted Lili as well, it caught the eye of a few mercenary groups who saw great potential. Soon, he was recruited and cycled through a few companies who paid well and the work was mostly geared towards training. It brought in enough profit that Lili and Ghislan built their family home from the ground up. A beautiful, pale stoned cottage melded with shells from the nearby shore.

Throwing a grand celebration with friends to honor the new homestead, everyone (even Lili) drank in good cheer. One man amoungst them, however, took advantage of the situation. A long time friend of the couples' who joined Ghislan as a healer in some of his fights and jobs, his poor health would be the death of him soon and they all knew it. Amore Silverlark was his name, and he was the only living member of his family. Determined to not leave this world without carrying out his family name, he guided a very intoxicated Lili to a back room to take advantage, and succeeded with getting her pregnant. Overcome by guilt, he confessed to Ghislan who nearly killed him on the spot were it not for Lili intervening. Barely able to let it pass, Ghislan agreed to curb his animosity while it was discussed on what to do. A few weeks later, Amore succumbed to his illness and passed away, leaving Lili and Ghislan with two choices: Keep the illegitimate children, or find a way to terminate the pregnancy.

Months later, Deisarameda and Sarameda Silverlark were born. In honor of Amore and Ghislan's more happy history together, they kept the surname and Ghislan raised them as his own. Sadly, they inherited their father's illness and were in poor health as children and even into their now adult life.

Shortly after the girls were born, Lili's parents died abruptly in a house fire. Mere days later, Rahsha disappeared with what little belongings she covered from the fire. To this day, Lili has rarely seen sight of her adopted sister and has heard rumors that she retreated to the Shroud to perhaps find clues to her true family.

The years passed without incident. Ghislan put aside his mercenary life to join the military efforts around La Noscea and even beyond. During one particular assignment he was doing freelance for the Immortal Flames, they were attacked by Garleans in which Ghislan was captured and taken away. There was never a body recovered, and Lili was wracked by grief for a number of years. Even with her children there as support, it slowly became accepted that Ghislan was likely dead and never returning. Her soulmate, the love of her life, the father of her children, was gone. There was no more to be done.

And so, life went on.

=== 1569/0-Present Calamity ===

Lili ended up retaking her maiden name of Altair a few years after Ghislan passed, not feeling right baring the name of her dead husband. The day of the Calamity, Lili and her three children visited the empty grave on a little cliff over looking the sea that was dedicated to Ghislan. All four watched in complete horror as the world around them was torn to bits and land and buildings became decimated. Thankfully, their home remained intact and they suffered no severe losses. Lili focused more on her alchemical talents to help locals and those in the cities while making a little extra money for herself and her family. Within the last two years, her children grew up into beautiful, capable young adults. All three starting to go their own ways to build their new lives. It left Lili in an interesting position: After almost two decades of being married, being widowed, raising children...she now had time to focus on herself. A thrilling but frightening prospect she still has difficulty comprehending to this day.

Lili spent the first few months trying to find hobbies. Interests. Even dabbling in the company of courtesans to appease some of the loneliness seeped into her heart. Money that Ghislan left behind in his passing was enough to sustain her day-to-day life, but she still felt empty. Unfulfilled. Without her soulmate, she began to wonder if she'd eventually die of a broken heart the way some songbirds did when their mates passed. During a trip out by Moraby, Lili came across a Miqo'te man named [[Kolhi'to Embhre]] who passed along a possible business proposition at his free company, Black Sun Trading. Intrigued, Lili followed through on the matter and found employment working for the Silverstars, Matthias and Althena. It gave her a new purpose and new motivation, and during that time she met and had a brief coupling with one of her coworkers named [[Togy Brandmakt]]. While things didn't last, it opened a door for her she never thought she'd try again: Dating.

Work for Lili in Black Sun was usually fairly slow, with the occasional incident breaking up the monotony of each daily routine. But the people were interesting, and many interesting occurrences happened in the Bismarck from laughter to violence. Later, it was announced that the trading company would become an academy (Black Sun Academy), and Lili became the school receptionist. She kept an eye when she could on some of the more naive members and prospective students, including a young woman named [[Mouse Wytchwood]]. Through an old lover, Lili learned of Mouse's mysterious nature and past and vowed to keep it quiet and continue to help watching the girl from afar. Her focus became the school, as well as finding ways to relieve herself of her loneliness. She took her alchemy back up again, as well as continued her parents' legacy and proficiency in botany.

More time passed with very little incident. For a period, Lili was surrounded by an influx of interested parties who wished to start relationships with her. Only one caught her interest in the end, a miqo'te man she met through Kolhi'to named [[Darturu Torlan]]. Charmed and taken in by his good manners, wit, and appearence, he soon became a regular part of her life. And soon, a significant other. Shortly after this her youngest daughter, Sarameda, became ill. Needing constant care and attention, Lili took an extended period of time to be with her daughter and away from the world. Including away from Darturu.

Shortly after Sara finally recovered, Lili heard everyone had relocated to Ul'dah to start up a new company with Kolhi'to as head of the organization. A mercenary group called the Blacktalon Vanguard, and Darturu was his partner. Lili relocated so as to help with the group, as well as be supportive of Dart. While the relationship with Darturu didn't last and they eventually parted ways, she still met many new people and still talks to quite a few even after she left the Vanguard to start her own group, the Free Wing Society. During this time she met a young lalachild named [[Adokenai Kodomo]], a resident tot at the Quicksand that seemed to be cared after by Momodi and the adventurers that inhabited the place. So taken by him, she decided to adopt the boy as her own and the announcement was made at the opening of the Pumpkin Cafe. There, she met two people: [[Rock Shattermountain]] and [[Sarial Hawke]], both of whom took a liking to the woman and her charms. They later joined the Society, along with others that Lili knew from Blacktalon and beyond.

Also during this time, she met a man named [[C'kayah Tia]] who supplied with her alchemical regents that she was having a hard time getting a hold of. The attraction between the two was almost instant, and at the end of the night Lili decided to give him a link to her personal pearl. Not expecting to hear from him for quite some time (if ever), Lili was surprised when he got a hold of her almost immediately afterwards. It set off a chain of interactions that sent them down an unexpectedly passionate path of emotions and intimacy that Lili never seemed able to push aside. Even though at the begining she was wary, he made her feel like she could take a chance. It led her to meeting even more people, like [[Kenthy Pennyfeather]] and [[Miah Polaali]], and eventually led to her and Kayah becoming mates. While their relationship was 'open' and unconventional, she also took in a lover named [[Kaiten Skyborn]] while C'kayah took in his own interests.

The Society continued to thrive, though some of her friendships suffered as a product of her relationship with C'kayah. Her long standing friendship with [[T'shina Vashka]] and [[Tenha'a Rendha]] being the primary ones, as their dislike of C'kayah and vehemence against Lili being with him led to them recently leaving the Society. While this happened, Lili remained firm in her decision to spend her future with the male. Life continued to change, and still does to this day. Most recently she and C'kayah have become engaged, she has offered her and the Society's aid in the Doman refugee matters, and continues raising and caring after Ado.

'''Currently''': Lili remains working, balancing a home and professional life as best as she's able. She's usually found in Ul'dah or her company house, managing her employees or organizing relations and jobs. More often then not her time is work related save for those rare moments where she spends time quietly with her fiance, a friend, or a lover. Much of her business affairs seem to revolve around a few of her members that require 'special' care due to their natures or conditions both aetherical and non.

=== General ===

'''Lilithium Altair (Lil-ith-ium Ah-l-tair) '''is a older Hyur midlander who is often seen in and around Ul'dah and various other parts of Eorzea. Her maternal nature and affectionate disposition leaves her well liked by most who come across her. Widowed three years before the Calamity and with her three children all grown and out of the house as of roughly a year ago, Lili finds that she's able to focus on herself and her own happiness for the first time since her teens. It's left her with many doorways of oppurtunity to choose from, some full of light and adventure while others harbor a darker purpose...

Recently, she has become the owner of a staffing company known as the Free Wing Society and adopted a little boy named Adokenai. On top of that, she has opened her heart that led to avenues she never dared dream were possible. She currently has a mate/fiance (C'kayah Tia), and has been pursuing various interests that range from people to books to trying her hand at the aetheric arts.

'''Note: Lili is able to see the aether of various individuals she meets. They manifest as light and colors, and I will sometimes whisper people OOC to determine what their aether is like so Lili can react or adjust accordingly.'''

=== Appearance ===

[[File:LiliSelf.png|none|LiliSelf.png]]

Standing at 5 fulm and 4 ilm, Lili is used to seeing the world from the shorter side of things. She used to wear her pale blonde hair long and nearly to her elbows, but almost two moons ago she chopped it rather short. Recently, she's grown it out again. Her eyes are very light green with a silvery cast to the color to give it an odd shimmering quality. While her features deceive others of her true age, she bares what marks she has with pride: Some crows feet at the corner of her eyes that show when she laughs, and similar lines at the corner of her lips that only start to show when she is smiling broadly. Having bared three children (two of which were twins), she was left with rather shapely hips and added curves that she had not possessed in her youth. One of the physical features most noticed by some who meet Lili is her rather large bust despite her small size. It usually causes her a myriad of problems, as some of her shorter Miqo'te friends and Lalafell companions sometimes get suffocated when she hugs them. The rest of her is well toned from the muscle and strenght it takes to wield her axe and fist weapons, and sunkissed from her years by the shores of Limsa or the sands of Ul'dah. Around her neck is a long chain with little silver fingerbells attached to it, and on her ring finger looks to be a wedding or engagement ring of some kind.

[[File:LiliandWhisper2.jpg|none|LiliandWhisper2.jpg]]

=== Behavior ===

Having gotten pregnant at fourteen and raising or looking after her children and those of others left Lili with a maternal nature that has been driven down to the core of her very being. She tends to look out for those around her, especially those that she feels a soft spot for, or those around her children's age (teens to early twenties range). Though this maternal drive of hers doesn't make her a pushover in the least, as it is possible to ignite her ire with the right buttons being pushed. Over all, she's calm and even tempered and usually the voice of reason for those around her. Ever one to play devil's advocate.

== Combat ==

=== General ===

Lili hasn't had much of a need to show her skills publically, but in the few times she's sparred with friends she's shown a great aptitude for a martial arts style of combat. Her fists, being her primary weapon, are usually not the thing to worry about. They sometimes serve as a mere distraction for her rather powerful legs to catch someone off guard. When she does happen to use her axe, it's an interesting sight since some of the weaponry are almost as big as she is. Yet she yields them with ease, using all her force with each blow. She fights with a certain level of honor, though if the situation should call for it she won't be afraid to play dirty.

== Tendencies ==

[[File:LiliandAdo3.png]]

Always one for trying and learning new things, Lili spends much of her idle time active in one way or another. If she's not relaxing in the Quicksand or the occasional visit to the Drowning Wench, she'll be home or out and about doing some kind of activity or socializing.

=== Family ===

●Ghislan Nightwing (deceased): Lili's late husband who went MIA during an assignment against the Garleans. After no body being found over the last near decade he's been gone, everyone has safely assumed he is dead and Lili no longer mourns her first and only true love. He was also of Ala Mhigan descent and large for a Highlander (7 fulms).

''●''[[Adokenai Kodomo]]: A young Lalachild who Lili met at the Quicksand one day. Since meeting, Lili had adopted the little boy as her own. He even calls her 'Mom' regularly, and comes running to her whenever he sees her. Usually when seen together, the little boy is being held by his new mother or playing around some where near by.

''●''Khavan Nightwing: Lili's oldest child and oldest son. At nineteen years of age, nearing twenty, Khavan is engaged to a male elezen and usually bothers Lili for wedding preperation.

''●''Sarameda Silverlark: Youngest twin daughter of Lilithium Altair and Amore Silverlark.

''●''Deisarameda Silverlark: Oldest twin daughter of Lilithium Altair and Amore Silverlark.

●Rahsha Altair: A Sunseeker miqo'te that Lili's parents found when Lili was only five. Abandoned on a supply ship, no one knows her tribal origin and could never relocate birth parents. Rahsha and Lili grew apart after Lili left home, and now the two rarely see one another.

''●''Andromeda and Reiko Altair (deceased): Lili's parents died shortly after the twins were born in a simple but tragic fire. Both were botanists who were unmatched in their knowledge of the land and its bountiful treasures.

=== Other Relationships ===

''●''[[Aedan Mathis]]: On her way to gather herbs in the Sylphlands, she came across a Hyur slumped over his faithful chocobo. Bloodied and unconscious, Lili took him to the nearby Sanctum of the Twelve and managed to save his life. While the two aren't in close contact, she sees him sporadically and keep in the back of her mind his offer to look after her children as a way of thanks for her helping him.

''●''[[Aya Foxheart]]: The Quicksand's favorite barmaid, Lili worked alongside C'kayah to help Aya with some personal problems, and offered the woman multiple safe places to hide away at should she had needed it. Afterwards, she hasn't seen much of her, though that hasn't stopped the affection she began to feel towards the woman.

''♥●''[[Azeiox Nelles]]: An elezen Lili met one day at the Quicksand who always seems to be looking out for her son and letting him right on his shoulder without batting an eye. Intimidating at first, she later found his more quiet nature to be comforting and enjoys spending time with him when she can. The nature of their relationship to outsiders appears friendly, though if there is anything else going on they certainly don't show it. In private they made the decision to become lovers, and developments are still very fresh and new between them. The time they have spent together is very few and far between, but it seems to fit Lili just fine.

●[[Chokho Viqqoh]]: A Keeper woman Lili met at the fishfry event the Society put on, she flirted rather heavily with Lili and even poured a cup of water on her to see her wet in her bikkini. They met up later when they found out they were neighbors, and have started a comfortable friendship. Chokho has made her attraction known, and Lili returned the sentiment. Their lives keep them busy and often apart, though they make time to spend with one another when they can. With the passage of weeks Lili's affections have softened, though she still wonders how the miqo'te woman is doing.

''♥●''[[C'kayah Tia]]: A Miqo'te who once supplied Lili with alchemical materials she was having a hard time acquiring, he was smitten with her from the start and she rejected his advances over and over again. Instead, teasing him with playful retorts and equally playful skepticism. They ended up being around one another off and on as time went on, and over time Lili came to see that his feelings and gestures were indeed sincere and affectionate by his repeat efforts to prove such. Since asking her to be his mate, and she in turn asking him to marry her, the two have been through great obstacles that have made them stronger then ever. When seen together, Lili couldn't be happier.

''●''[[Darturu Torlan]]: Darturu and Lili were once mated, but his co-creation of the Blacktalon Vanguard made balancing work and a relationship difficult. The two eventually decided to part ways, still caring for one another, but now left to their own devices. As time has passed and seeing less and less of him, her feelings had softened to the point where romance is no longer something she entertains with the Miqo'te. They have not seen one another since she left the Vanguard, and she seems to have no desire to change that.

''●''[[Dheina Tayuun]]: A young Miqo'te she met when coming back to Ul'dah via her previous mate, Darturu. They keep in touch sporadically, and have a pleasent friendship.

♥●[[Graeldelon Bloodrage]]: One of the newer members of the Society, Lili doesn't know the young man very well. However she can occasionally be caught looking at him with a faint and curious little smile as well as fussing over recent wounds he suffered as part of a training exercise.

''●''●[[Kagewoe Erasus]]: Fiance of Nymira's, Kage is also one of her officers. While she is not close to the male, she is confident in his abilities to help her and Nym keep everyone in line and together. Recent events with the Society have the two walking on thin ice around one another and generally not around one another.

''●''[[Kal Numara]]: A Highlander woman who is also a friend of Lili's. Usually teasing her, and constantly referring to her as 'Mama' or 'Mama Lili'. Such teasings are usually met with Lili retaliating (playfully so).

[[Kenthy Pennyfeather|''●''Kenthy Pennyfeather]]: A miqo'te Lili met through her interractions with C'kayah and the Morbolvines, she's grown a light friendship with the woman, as well as quite a bit of respect due to the help that was given to her during her experience in the form of a Moonkeeper. Despite her sassy and slightly abrasive nature, Lili finds her pleasent. During a series of discussions involving Kenthy and C'kayah's desire to add intimacy to their current relationship, Kenthy lashed out at Lili in a way that had her feeling almost hostile towards the woman. Later on, the two women managed to patch things up and Lili gave Kenthy her blessing to be involved with C'kayah. She doesn't see the redhead regular, but should one ask she considers her a friend.

''♥●''[[Kaiten Skyborn]]: Lili and this hyur were involved for an extended period as lovers and friends. Due to less and less time spent together and Lili's recent engagement to C'kayah, the two had drifted apart and Kaiten soon disappeared from her life completely. Without warning, he came to her office one night with vows of love and how much he had missed her. Revealing that falling in love with another woman helped him better understand how she could love him and C'kayah both in her own ways and at the same time, it helped with their reconciliation and the slow process of coming together once more.

''●''[[Kaohastraal Aeseroix]]:A very large roe man that was introduced to Lili via T'shina at the fish fry event. His Garlean name took her aback at first, but when they started talking he eased her mind and explained some of his story. He's admitted to having an interest in her on many levels, and they've agreed to simply get to know one another. Though it's hard to know what Lili is thinking when they're seen together. As of late, she's started helping him with a number of private matters regarding his 'health'.

''●''[[Katiti Kati]]: Lili met this Lalafell around the time she met Ado, who served alongside Toff as one of the Lalachild's unofficial guardians. She eventually joined the Society, being hired as Ado's official teacher. Lili trusts her judgement, but worries with how much she stresses over things all the time.

[[Kolhi'to Embhre|''●''Kolhi'to Embhre]]: Creator of the Blacktalon Vanguard and Lili's former employer, Lili has known Kol for quite some time. However, they seem neither friendly nor hostile. Instead only polite when meeting or speaking in passing. More often then not Kol's grumpy attitude tends to irk Lili even if she may not always show it.

''●''[[Leon Maxwell]]: A young boy Lili met through Tenha'a, she's done her best to look out for his well being and educate him on matters he inquires about, such as love. Knowing a few tidbits about his current health and situation, she's been doing some research into what can possibly be done to help him. Between her work in the Society and his involvements in other matters, assisting him hasn't been as large of a priority. Recently, she learned that he found a cure which brought her happiness to know that perhaps now he could live a long and healthy life.

♥●[[Locke Rinannis]]: She had seen this man when he was around one of the free company houses next to Blacktalon, though never spoke to him or approached him. Later, she heard he was looking for work and offered him a job at the Society. He's one of her most quiet employees, and as a result she actively tries to drag him around the others and be social. His polite demeanor and timidity charms her, and she finds him rather attractive though she values him as a friend and workmate moreso then anything.

''●''[[Mouse Wytchwood]]: A miqo'te girl with odd origins and green hair, Lili has always regarded the girl with motherly concern and attention. From watching her from afar or explaining terms and concepts she does not easily grasp or helping with her hair. She knows enough of Mouse's backstory to keep her eye on the girl when she's able to, and to try and guide harm out of her way.

''●''[[Nymira Valeroyant]]: One of the members of the Society and its' main healer, Nym is not only a good friend of Lili's but also one of her officers to help keep the Society running smoothly.

''●''[[Rock Shattermountain]]: A Highlander Lili has recently met when helping with the Pumpkin Cafe opening night. He also is a friend of her adopted son, Ado. After a night out together, he confessed to feelings of a more romantic nature, and the two have been slowly getting to know one another from there. He is also the one that gave her a little pet fawn whom she affectionately calls Dot. As their interractions have progressed, as well as his hints and confessions to seeing Lili as a prospective wife, it left her flattered by his intense emotions. While she still cares for him, they have drifted into more of a close friendship.

●[[Tendha'a Rendha]]: A male Miqo'te whom Lili met shortly after the creation of the Vanguard. The two quickly became friends and confidants, and he is the mate of T'shina Vashka. Since Lili and C'kayah started seeing one another, neither of the two have spoken much and he never said a word when he officially left the Society with T'shina and a few others.

''●''●[[Toff Vaughn]]: One of Ado's original guardians, Lili went to Toff and Katiti before she formally adopted Ado. While she respects the man, his childish bouts of attitude test the limits of her temper, including with how he has grown the habit lately of flirting with taken women. Whether he seems to know they're taken or not.

''●''●[[Togy Brandmakt]]: A previous lover, the two seperated due to Togy's wanderings and traveling keeping them apart moreso then together. While not on bad terms, his unstable nature and her mixed responses to his off days makes their interractions a hit-or-miss.

●[[T'shina Vashka]]: A young woman Lili regards as a friend, the recent interractions Lili has had with C'kayah has strained their relationship. Afterwards, the two didn't speak for a while and had one rather large argument that Tenha'a even became part that drove Lili away emotionally. Things never fully recovered after that, and when finding out that Lili and C'kayah were still together, she resigned from the Society.

●[[U'zhan Tia]]: A Miqo'te that Lili met due to his associations with T'shina, he asked Lili to go adventuring with him. Shortly afterwards, he stopped speaking with her. Having gotten the impression he was very much like the womanizing 'Nunh' types he claimed to dislike so much, Lili has had very little desire to rekindle a friendship. With his mating to one of her employees, Liandri, she is slowly getting more accustomed to seeing the man hanging around the Society grounds.

== History/Timeline ==

[[File:BirfdayLili.jpg]]

=== 1544-1559 Childhood/adolescence ===

Born an only child, Lili had a comfortable life with her parents living in Ul'dah. Taking frequent trips to the countryside and the desert to look for new herbs and roots and other things that were in demand or that her parents needed to discover. They met a variety of people and went a variety places before Lili even learned how to walk, though their home territory was always Ul'dah and the Thanalans. Around the time Lili was just turning five, her parents decided to relocate to La Noscea and start maping and surveying the lush island terrain. While on the cargo ship to Limsa Lominsa, the Altairs discovered a tiny bundle that was wailing and screaming and covered in bloodied rags. A newborn Miqo'te child, still covered in the blood of labor pains, though with no mother in sight. No one on the ship knew where she came from, and eventually Lili's parents made her part of the family and named her Rahsha.

Time passed easily in La Noscea. Lili treasured little Rahsha as if she was a blood sister. The tail and ears were only a cute little addition Lili liked to play with. Around the time she was eight and Rahsha was barely three, a family moved in nearby from Ala Mhigo with a single child of their own. A dark skinned, blonde haired, red eyed little prankster of a boy named Ghislan Nightwing. He was immidiately taken with Lili, even as a young boy, and showed it in his typical fashion of flipping her skirts, pulling on her head, and throwing sand and mud balls at he face. This usually earned him retaliation of equal brutality by Lili, with assistance from little Rahsha while their parents looked on with affection and amusement.

The years passed without incident. The comings and goings of the outside world seemed far away from Lili. Her life consisted of her family and Ghislan, and it seemed to be all she needed. As Ghislan and Lili got older, they went from children to friends, and before long, they were fawning over one another in the typical girlish and boyish fashions. Shortly after Lili's fourteenth birthday gathering, their love for one another was too much to be contained (in their young eyes at least). Following their coupling, Lili realized she was pregnant, and the two quickly escaped into the night to find the closest Priestess of Menphina to bless a union between them. Their elopement was received with a measure of shock and surprise that was quickly welcomed by all, save for Rahsha. Feeling that her sister abandoned her, the little Miqo'te never quite outgrew such feelings.

And thus began the life of Mrs. Lilithium Nightwing.

=== 1559-1569 Lilithium Amal'thea Nightwing ===

The married life was one Lili slipped into with ease. Shortly after turning fifteen summers, she gave birth to Khavan Amadeus Nightwing, who looked more like his father then anything else. Despite being young, they were hard working with Lili spending the majority of her time as a house wife taking care of their son with the aide of both of their parents. While Rahsha was loving to a degree to Khavan, she was still distant with her sister. It was something that, while Lili mourned for the lack of emotion she got from her, she couldn't focus on too deeply and still provide the needed care for her family.

During the first few years of their marriage, Ghislan continued to grow. Taller and taller and taller, reaching well past the average height for a Highlander. While it certainly got attention in a crowd and delighted Lili as well, it caught the eye of a few mercenary groups who saw great potential. Soon, he was recruited and cycled through a few companies who paid well and the work was mostly geared towards training. It brought in enough profit that Lili and Ghislan built their family home from the ground up. A beautiful, pale stoned cottage melded with shells from the nearby shore.

Throwing a grand celebration with friends to honor the new homestead, everyone (even Lili) drank in good cheer. One man amoungst them, however, took advantage of the situation. A long time friend of the couples' who joined Ghislan as a healer in some of his fights and jobs, his poor health would be the death of him soon and they all knew it. Amore Silverlark was his name, and he was the only living member of his family. Determined to not leave this world without carrying out his family name, he guided a very intoxicated Lili to a back room to take advantage, and succeeded with getting her pregnant. Overcome by guilt, he confessed to Ghislan who nearly killed him on the spot were it not for Lili intervening. Barely able to let it pass, Ghislan agreed to curb his animosity while it was discussed on what to do. A few weeks later, Amore succumbed to his illness and passed away, leaving Lili and Ghislan with two choices: Keep the illegitimate children, or find a way to terminate the pregnancy.

Months later, Deisarameda and Sarameda Silverlark were born. In honor of Amore and Ghislan's more happy history together, they kept the surname and Ghislan raised them as his own. Sadly, they inherited their father's illness and were in poor health as children and even into their now adult life.

Shortly after the girls were born, Lili's parents died abruptly in a house fire. Mere days later, Rahsha disappeared with what little belongings she covered from the fire. To this day, Lili has rarely seen sight of her adopted sister and has heard rumors that she retreated to the Shroud to perhaps find clues to her true family.

The years passed without incident. Ghislan put aside his mercenary life to join the military efforts around La Noscea and even beyond. During one particular assignment he was doing freelance for the Immortal Flames, they were attacked by Garleans in which Ghislan was captured and taken away. There was never a body recovered, and Lili was wracked by grief for a number of years. Even with her children there as support, it slowly became accepted that Ghislan was likely dead and never returning. Her soulmate, the love of her life, the father of her children, was gone. There was no more to be done.

And so, life went on.

=== 1569/0-Present Calamity ===

Lili ended up retaking her maiden name of Altair a few years after Ghislan passed, not feeling right baring the name of her dead husband. The day of the Calamity, Lili and her three children visited the empty grave on a little cliff over looking the sea that was dedicated to Ghislan. All four watched in complete horror as the world around them was torn to bits and land and buildings became decimated. Thankfully, their home remained intact and they suffered no severe losses. Lili focused more on her alchemical talents to help locals and those in the cities while making a little extra money for herself and her family. Within the last two years, her children grew up into beautiful, capable young adults. All three starting to go their own ways to build their new lives. It left Lili in an interesting position: After almost two decades of being married, being widowed, raising children...she now had time to focus on herself. A thrilling but frightening prospect she still has difficulty comprehending to this day.

Lili spent the first few months trying to find hobbies. Interests. Even dabbling in the company of courtesans to appease some of the loneliness seeped into her heart. Money that Ghislan left behind in his passing was enough to sustain her day-to-day life, but she still felt empty. Unfulfilled. Without her soulmate, she began to wonder if she'd eventually die of a broken heart the way some songbirds did when their mates passed. During a trip out by Moraby, Lili came across a Miqo'te man named [[Kolhi'to Embhre]] who passed along a possible business proposition at his free company, Black Sun Trading. Intrigued, Lili followed through on the matter and found employment working for the Silverstars, Matthias and Althena. It gave her a new purpose and new motivation, and during that time she met and had a brief coupling with one of her coworkers named [[Togy Brandmakt]]. While things didn't last, it opened a door for her she never thought she'd try again: Dating.

Work for Lili in Black Sun was usually fairly slow, with the occasional incident breaking up the monotony of each daily routine. But the people were interesting, and many interesting occurrences happened in the Bismarck from laughter to violence. Later, it was announced that the trading company would become an academy (Black Sun Academy), and Lili became the school receptionist. She kept an eye when she could on some of the more naive members and prospective students, including a young woman named [[Mouse Wytchwood]]. Through an old lover, Lili learned of Mouse's mysterious nature and past and vowed to keep it quiet and continue to help watching the girl from afar. Her focus became the school, as well as finding ways to relieve herself of her loneliness. She took her alchemy back up again, as well as continued her parents' legacy and proficiency in botany.

More time passed with very little incident. For a period, Lili was surrounded by an influx of interested parties who wished to start relationships with her. Only one caught her interest in the end, a miqo'te man she met through Kolhi'to named [[Darturu Torlan]]. Charmed and taken in by his good manners, wit, and appearence, he soon became a regular part of her life. And soon, a significant other. Shortly after this her youngest daughter, Sarameda, became ill. Needing constant care and attention, Lili took an extended period of time to be with her daughter and away from the world. Including away from Darturu.

Shortly after Sara finally recovered, Lili heard everyone had relocated to Ul'dah to start up a new company with Kolhi'to as head of the organization. A mercenary group called the Blacktalon Vanguard, and Darturu was his partner. Lili relocated so as to help with the group, as well as be supportive of Dart. While the relationship with Darturu didn't last and they eventually parted ways, she still met many new people and still talks to quite a few even after she left the Vanguard to start her own group, the Free Wing Society. During this time she met a young lalachild named [[Adokenai Kodomo]], a resident tot at the Quicksand that seemed to be cared after by Momodi and the adventurers that inhabited the place. So taken by him, she decided to adopt the boy as her own and the announcement was made at the opening of the Pumpkin Cafe. There, she met two people: [[Rock Shattermountain]] and [[Sarial Hawke]], both of whom took a liking to the woman and her charms. They later joined the Society, along with others that Lili knew from Blacktalon and beyond.

Also during this time, she met a man named [[C'kayah Tia]] who supplied with her alchemical regents that she was having a hard time getting a hold of. The attraction between the two was almost instant, and at the end of the night Lili decided to give him a link to her personal pearl. Not expecting to hear from him for quite some time (if ever), Lili was surprised when he got a hold of her almost immediately afterwards. It set off a chain of interactions that sent them down an unexpectedly passionate path of emotions and intimacy that Lili never seemed able to push aside. Even though at the begining she was wary, he made her feel like she could take a chance. It led her to meeting even more people, like [[Kenthy Pennyfeather]] and [[Miah Polaali]], and eventually led to her and Kayah becoming mates. While their relationship was 'open' and unconventional, she also took in a lover named [[Kaiten Skyborn]] while C'kayah took in his own interests.

The Society continued to thrive, though some of her friendships suffered as a product of her relationship with C'kayah. Her long standing friendship with [[T'shina Vashka]] and [[Tenha'a Rendha]] being the primary ones, as their dislike of C'kayah and vehemence against Lili being with him led to them recently leaving the Society. While this happened, Lili remained firm in her decision to spend her future with the male. Life continued to change, and still does to this day. Most recently she and C'kayah have become engaged, she has offered her and the Society's aid in the Doman refugee matters, and continues raising and caring after Ado.

'''Currently''': Lili remains working, balancing a home and professional life as best as she's able. She's usually found in Ul'dah or her company house, managing her employees or organizing relations and jobs. More often then not her time is work related save for those rare moments where she spends time quietly with her fiance, a friend, or a lover. Much of her business affairs seem to revolve around a few of her members that require 'special' care due to their natures or conditions both aetherical and non.

=== General ===

'''Lilithium Altair (Lil-ith-ium Ah-l-tair) '''is a older Hyur midlander who is often seen in and around Ul'dah and various other parts of Eorzea. Her maternal nature and affectionate disposition leaves her well liked by most who come across her. Widowed three years before the Calamity and with her three children all grown and out of the house as of roughly a year ago, Lili finds that she's able to focus on herself and her own happiness for the first time since her teens. It's left her with many doorways of oppurtunity to choose from, some full of light and adventure while others harbor a darker purpose...

Recently, she has become the owner of a staffing company known as the Free Wing Society and adopted a little boy named Adokenai. On top of that, she has opened her heart that led to avenues she never dared dream were possible. She currently has a mate/fiance (C'kayah Tia), and has been pursuing various interests that range from people to books to trying her hand at the aetheric arts.

'''Note: Lili is able to see the aether of various individuals she meets. They manifest as light and colors, and I will sometimes whisper people OOC to determine what their aether is like so Lili can react or adjust accordingly.'''

=== Appearance ===

[[File:LiliSelf.png|none|LiliSelf.png]]

Standing at 5 fulm and 4 ilm, Lili is used to seeing the world from the shorter side of things. She used to wear her pale blonde hair long and nearly to her elbows, but almost two moons ago she chopped it rather short. Recently, she's grown it out again. Her eyes are very light green with a silvery cast to the color to give it an odd shimmering quality. While her features deceive others of her true age, she bares what marks she has with pride: Some crows feet at the corner of her eyes that show when she laughs, and similar lines at the corner of her lips that only start to show when she is smiling broadly. Having bared three children (two of which were twins), she was left with rather shapely hips and added curves that she had not possessed in her youth. One of the physical features most noticed by some who meet Lili is her rather large bust despite her small size. It usually causes her a myriad of problems, as some of her shorter Miqo'te friends and Lalafell companions sometimes get suffocated when she hugs them. The rest of her is well toned from the muscle and strenght it takes to wield her axe and fist weapons, and sunkissed from her years by the shores of Limsa or the sands of Ul'dah. Around her neck is a long chain with little silver fingerbells attached to it, and on her ring finger looks to be a wedding or engagement ring of some kind.

=== Behavior ===

Having gotten pregnant at fourteen and raising or looking after her children and those of others left Lili with a maternal nature that has been driven down to the core of her very being. She tends to look out for those around her, especially those that she feels a soft spot for, or those around her children's age (teens to early twenties range). Though this maternal drive of hers doesn't make her a pushover in the least, as it is possible to ignite her ire with the right buttons being pushed. Over all, she's calm and even tempered and usually the voice of reason for those around her. Ever one to play devil's advocate.

== Combat ==

=== General ===

Lili hasn't had much of a need to show her skills publically, but in the few times she's sparred with friends she's shown a great aptitude for a martial arts style of combat. Her fists, being her primary weapon, are usually not the thing to worry about. They sometimes serve as a mere distraction for her rather powerful legs to catch someone off guard. When she does happen to use her axe, it's an interesting sight since some of the weaponry are almost as big as she is. Yet she yields them with ease, using all her force with each blow. She fights with a certain level of honor, though if the situation should call for it she won't be afraid to play dirty.

== Tendencies ==

[[File:LiliandAdo3.png]]

Always one for trying and learning new things, Lili spends much of her idle time active in one way or another. If she's not relaxing in the Quicksand or the occasional visit to the Drowning Wench, she'll be home or out and about doing some kind of activity or socializing.

=== Family ===

●Ghislan Nightwing (deceased): Lili's late husband who went MIA during an assignment against the Garleans. After no body being found over the last near decade he's been gone, everyone has safely assumed he is dead and Lili no longer mourns her first and only true love. He was also of Ala Mhigan descent and large for a Highlander (7 fulms).

''●''[[Adokenai Kodomo]]: A young Lalachild who Lili met at the Quicksand one day. Since meeting, Lili had adopted the little boy as her own. He even calls her 'Mom' regularly, and comes running to her whenever he sees her. Usually when seen together, the little boy is being held by his new mother or playing around some where near by.

''●''Khavan Nightwing: Lili's oldest child and oldest son. At nineteen years of age, nearing twenty, Khavan is engaged to a male elezen and usually bothers Lili for wedding preperation.

''●''Sarameda Silverlark: Youngest twin daughter of Lilithium Altair and Amore Silverlark.

''●''Deisarameda Silverlark: Oldest twin daughter of Lilithium Altair and Amore Silverlark.

●Rahsha Altair: A Sunseeker miqo'te that Lili's parents found when Lili was only five. Abandoned on a supply ship, no one knows her tribal origin and could never relocate birth parents. Rahsha and Lili grew apart after Lili left home, and now the two rarely see one another.

''●''Andromeda and Reiko Altair (deceased): Lili's parents died shortly after the twins were born in a simple but tragic fire. Both were botanists who were unmatched in their knowledge of the land and its bountiful treasures.

=== Other Relationships ===

''●''[[Aedan Mathis]]: On her way to gather herbs in the Sylphlands, she came across a Hyur slumped over his faithful chocobo. Bloodied and unconscious, Lili took him to the nearby Sanctum of the Twelve and managed to save his life. While the two aren't in close contact, she sees him sporadically and keep in the back of her mind his offer to look after her children as a way of thanks for her helping him.

''●''[[Aya Foxheart]]: The Quicksand's favorite barmaid, Lili worked alongside C'kayah to help Aya with some personal problems, and offered the woman multiple safe places to hide away at should she had needed it. Afterwards, she hasn't seen much of her, though that hasn't stopped the affection she began to feel towards the woman.

''♥●''[[Azeiox Nelles]]: An elezen Lili met one day at the Quicksand who always seems to be looking out for her son and letting him right on his shoulder without batting an eye. Intimidating at first, she later found his more quiet nature to be comforting and enjoys spending time with him when she can. The nature of their relationship to outsiders appears friendly, though if there is anything else going on they certainly don't show it. In private they made the decision to become lovers, and developments are still very fresh and new between them. The time they have spent together is very few and far between, but it seems to fit Lili just fine.

●[[Chokho Viqqoh]]: A Keeper woman Lili met at the fishfry event the Society put on, she flirted rather heavily with Lili and even poured a cup of water on her to see her wet in her bikkini. They met up later when they found out they were neighbors, and have started a comfortable friendship. Chokho has made her attraction known, and Lili returned the sentiment. Their lives keep them busy and often apart, though they make time to spend with one another when they can. With the passage of weeks Lili's affections have softened, though she still wonders how the miqo'te woman is doing.

''♥●''[[C'kayah Tia]]: A Miqo'te who once supplied Lili with alchemical materials she was having a hard time acquiring, he was smitten with her from the start and she rejected his advances over and over again. Instead, teasing him with playful retorts and equally playful skepticism. They ended up being around one another off and on as time went on, and over time Lili came to see that his feelings and gestures were indeed sincere and affectionate by his repeat efforts to prove such. Since asking her to be his mate, and she in turn asking him to marry her, the two have been through great obstacles that have made them stronger then ever. When seen together, Lili couldn't be happier.

''●''[[Darturu Torlan]]: Darturu and Lili were once mated, but his co-creation of the Blacktalon Vanguard made balancing work and a relationship difficult. The two eventually decided to part ways, still caring for one another, but now left to their own devices. As time has passed and seeing less and less of him, her feelings had softened to the point where romance is no longer something she entertains with the Miqo'te. They have not seen one another since she left the Vanguard, and she seems to have no desire to change that.

''●''[[Dheina Tayuun]]: A young Miqo'te she met when coming back to Ul'dah via her previous mate, Darturu. They keep in touch sporadically, and have a pleasent friendship.

♥●[[Graeldelon Bloodrage]]: One of the newer members of the Society, Lili doesn't know the young man very well. However she can occasionally be caught looking at him with a faint and curious little smile as well as fussing over recent wounds he suffered as part of a training exercise.

''●''●[[Kagewoe Erasus]]: Fiance of Nymira's, Kage is also one of her officers. While she is not close to the male, she is confident in his abilities to help her and Nym keep everyone in line and together. Recent events with the Society have the two walking on thin ice around one another and generally not around one another.

''●''[[Kal Numara]]: A Highlander woman who is also a friend of Lili's. Usually teasing her, and constantly referring to her as 'Mama' or 'Mama Lili'. Such teasings are usually met with Lili retaliating (playfully so).

[[Kenthy Pennyfeather|''●''Kenthy Pennyfeather]]: A miqo'te Lili met through her interractions with C'kayah and the Morbolvines, she's grown a light friendship with the woman, as well as quite a bit of respect due to the help that was given to her during her experience in the form of a Moonkeeper. Despite her sassy and slightly abrasive nature, Lili finds her pleasent. During a series of discussions involving Kenthy and C'kayah's desire to add intimacy to their current relationship, Kenthy lashed out at Lili in a way that had her feeling almost hostile towards the woman. Later on, the two women managed to patch things up and Lili gave Kenthy her blessing to be involved with C'kayah. She doesn't see the redhead regular, but should one ask she considers her a friend.

''♥●''[[Kaiten Skyborn]]: Lili and this hyur were involved for an extended period as lovers and friends. Due to less and less time spent together and Lili's recent engagement to C'kayah, the two had drifted apart and Kaiten soon disappeared from her life completely. Without warning, he came to her office one night with vows of love and how much he had missed her. Revealing that falling in love with another woman helped him better understand how she could love him and C'kayah both in her own ways and at the same time, it helped with their reconciliation and the slow process of coming together once more.

''●''[[Kaohastraal Aeseroix]]:A very large roe man that was introduced to Lili via T'shina at the fish fry event. His Garlean name took her aback at first, but when they started talking he eased her mind and explained some of his story. He's admitted to having an interest in her on many levels, and they've agreed to simply get to know one another. Though it's hard to know what Lili is thinking when they're seen together. As of late, she's started helping him with a number of private matters regarding his 'health'.

''●''[[Katiti Kati]]: Lili met this Lalafell around the time she met Ado, who served alongside Toff as one of the Lalachild's unofficial guardians. She eventually joined the Society, being hired as Ado's official teacher. Lili trusts her judgement, but worries with how much she stresses over things all the time.

[[Kolhi'to Embhre|''●''Kolhi'to Embhre]]: Creator of the Blacktalon Vanguard and Lili's former employer, Lili has known Kol for quite some time. However, they seem neither friendly nor hostile. Instead only polite when meeting or speaking in passing. More often then not Kol's grumpy attitude tends to irk Lili even if she may not always show it.

''●''[[Leon Maxwell]]: A young boy Lili met through Tenha'a, she's done her best to look out for his well being and educate him on matters he inquires about, such as love. Knowing a few tidbits about his current health and situation, she's been doing some research into what can possibly be done to help him. Between her work in the Society and his involvements in other matters, assisting him hasn't been as large of a priority. Recently, she learned that he found a cure which brought her happiness to know that perhaps now he could live a long and healthy life.

♥●[[Locke Rinannis]]: She had seen this man when he was around one of the free company houses next to Blacktalon, though never spoke to him or approached him. Later, she heard he was looking for work and offered him a job at the Society. He's one of her most quiet employees, and as a result she actively tries to drag him around the others and be social. His polite demeanor and timidity charms her, and she finds him rather attractive though she values him as a friend and workmate moreso then anything.

''●''[[Mouse Wytchwood]]: A miqo'te girl with odd origins and green hair, Lili has always regarded the girl with motherly concern and attention. From watching her from afar or explaining terms and concepts she does not easily grasp or helping with her hair. She knows enough of Mouse's backstory to keep her eye on the girl when she's able to, and to try and guide harm out of her way.

''●''[[Nymira Valeroyant]]: One of the members of the Society and its' main healer, Nym is not only a good friend of Lili's but also one of her officers to help keep the Society running smoothly.

''●''[[Rock Shattermountain]]: A Highlander Lili has recently met when helping with the Pumpkin Cafe opening night. He also is a friend of her adopted son, Ado. After a night out together, he confessed to feelings of a more romantic nature, and the two have been slowly getting to know one another from there. He is also the one that gave her a little pet fawn whom she affectionately calls Dot. As their interractions have progressed, as well as his hints and confessions to seeing Lili as a prospective wife, it left her flattered by his intense emotions. While she still cares for him, they have drifted into more of a close friendship.

●[[Tendha'a Rendha]]: A male Miqo'te whom Lili met shortly after the creation of the Vanguard. The two quickly became friends and confidants, and he is the mate of T'shina Vashka. Since Lili and C'kayah started seeing one another, neither of the two have spoken much and he never said a word when he officially left the Society with T'shina and a few others.

''●''●[[Toff Vaughn]]: One of Ado's original guardians, Lili went to Toff and Katiti before she formally adopted Ado. While she respects the man, his childish bouts of attitude test the limits of her temper, including with how he has grown the habit lately of flirting with taken women. Whether he seems to know they're taken or not.

''●''●[[Togy Brandmakt]]: A previous lover, the two seperated due to Togy's wanderings and traveling keeping them apart moreso then together. While not on bad terms, his unstable nature and her mixed responses to his off days makes their interractions a hit-or-miss.

●[[T'shina Vashka]]: A young woman Lili regards as a friend, the recent interractions Lili has had with C'kayah has strained their relationship. Afterwards, the two didn't speak for a while and had one rather large argument that Tenha'a even became part that drove Lili away emotionally. Things never fully recovered after that, and when finding out that Lili and C'kayah were still together, she resigned from the Society.

●[[U'zhan Tia]]: A Miqo'te that Lili met due to his associations with T'shina, he asked Lili to go adventuring with him. Shortly afterwards, he stopped speaking with her. Having gotten the impression he was very much like the womanizing 'Nunh' types he claimed to dislike so much, Lili has had very little desire to rekindle a friendship. With his mating to one of her employees, Liandri, she is slowly getting more accustomed to seeing the man hanging around the Society grounds.

== History/Timeline ==

[[File:BirfdayLili.jpg]]

=== 1544-1559 Childhood/adolescence ===

Born an only child, Lili had a comfortable life with her parents living in Ul'dah. Taking frequent trips to the countryside and the desert to look for new herbs and roots and other things that were in demand or that her parents needed to discover. They met a variety of people and went a variety places before Lili even learned how to walk, though their home territory was always Ul'dah and the Thanalans. Around the time Lili was just turning five, her parents decided to relocate to La Noscea and start maping and surveying the lush island terrain. While on the cargo ship to Limsa Lominsa, the Altairs discovered a tiny bundle that was wailing and screaming and covered in bloodied rags. A newborn Miqo'te child, still covered in the blood of labor pains, though with no mother in sight. No one on the ship knew where she came from, and eventually Lili's parents made her part of the family and named her Rahsha.

Time passed easily in La Noscea. Lili treasured little Rahsha as if she was a blood sister. The tail and ears were only a cute little addition Lili liked to play with. Around the time she was eight and Rahsha was barely three, a family moved in nearby from Ala Mhigo with a single child of their own. A dark skinned, blonde haired, red eyed little prankster of a boy named Ghislan Nightwing. He was immidiately taken with Lili, even as a young boy, and showed it in his typical fashion of flipping her skirts, pulling on her head, and throwing sand and mud balls at he face. This usually earned him retaliation of equal brutality by Lili, with assistance from little Rahsha while their parents looked on with affection and amusement.

The years passed without incident. The comings and goings of the outside world seemed far away from Lili. Her life consisted of her family and Ghislan, and it seemed to be all she needed. As Ghislan and Lili got older, they went from children to friends, and before long, they were fawning over one another in the typical girlish and boyish fashions. Shortly after Lili's fourteenth birthday gathering, their love for one another was too much to be contained (in their young eyes at least). Following their coupling, Lili realized she was pregnant, and the two quickly escaped into the night to find the closest Priestess of Menphina to bless a union between them. Their elopement was received with a measure of shock and surprise that was quickly welcomed by all, save for Rahsha. Feeling that her sister abandoned her, the little Miqo'te never quite outgrew such feelings.

And thus began the life of Mrs. Lilithium Nightwing.

=== 1559-1569 Lilithium Amal'thea Nightwing ===

The married life was one Lili slipped into with ease. Shortly after turning fifteen summers, she gave birth to Khavan Amadeus Nightwing, who looked more like his father then anything else. Despite being young, they were hard working with Lili spending the majority of her time as a house wife taking care of their son with the aide of both of their parents. While Rahsha was loving to a degree to Khavan, she was still distant with her sister. It was something that, while Lili mourned for the lack of emotion she got from her, she couldn't focus on too deeply and still provide the needed care for her family.

During the first few years of their marriage, Ghislan continued to grow. Taller and taller and taller, reaching well past the average height for a Highlander. While it certainly got attention in a crowd and delighted Lili as well, it caught the eye of a few mercenary groups who saw great potential. Soon, he was recruited and cycled through a few companies who paid well and the work was mostly geared towards training. It brought in enough profit that Lili and Ghislan built their family home from the ground up. A beautiful, pale stoned cottage melded with shells from the nearby shore.

Throwing a grand celebration with friends to honor the new homestead, everyone (even Lili) drank in good cheer. One man amoungst them, however, took advantage of the situation. A long time friend of the couples' who joined Ghislan as a healer in some of his fights and jobs, his poor health would be the death of him soon and they all knew it. Amore Silverlark was his name, and he was the only living member of his family. Determined to not leave this world without carrying out his family name, he guided a very intoxicated Lili to a back room to take advantage, and succeeded with getting her pregnant. Overcome by guilt, he confessed to Ghislan who nearly killed him on the spot were it not for Lili intervening. Barely able to let it pass, Ghislan agreed to curb his animosity while it was discussed on what to do. A few weeks later, Amore succumbed to his illness and passed away, leaving Lili and Ghislan with two choices: Keep the illegitimate children, or find a way to terminate the pregnancy.

Months later, Deisarameda and Sarameda Silverlark were born. In honor of Amore and Ghislan's more happy history together, they kept the surname and Ghislan raised them as his own. Sadly, they inherited their father's illness and were in poor health as children and even into their now adult life.

Shortly after the girls were born, Lili's parents died abruptly in a house fire. Mere days later, Rahsha disappeared with what little belongings she covered from the fire. To this day, Lili has rarely seen sight of her adopted sister and has heard rumors that she retreated to the Shroud to perhaps find clues to her true family.

The years passed without incident. Ghislan put aside his mercenary life to join the military efforts around La Noscea and even beyond. During one particular assignment he was doing freelance for the Immortal Flames, they were attacked by Garleans in which Ghislan was captured and taken away. There was never a body recovered, and Lili was wracked by grief for a number of years. Even with her children there as support, it slowly became accepted that Ghislan was likely dead and never returning. Her soulmate, the love of her life, the father of her children, was gone. There was no more to be done.

And so, life went on.

=== 1569/0-Present Calamity ===

Lili ended up retaking her maiden name of Altair a few years after Ghislan passed, not feeling right baring the name of her dead husband. The day of the Calamity, Lili and her three children visited the empty grave on a little cliff over looking the sea that was dedicated to Ghislan. All four watched in complete horror as the world around them was torn to bits and land and buildings became decimated. Thankfully, their home remained intact and they suffered no severe losses. Lili focused more on her alchemical talents to help locals and those in the cities while making a little extra money for herself and her family. Within the last two years, her children grew up into beautiful, capable young adults. All three starting to go their own ways to build their new lives. It left Lili in an interesting position: After almost two decades of being married, being widowed, raising children...she now had time to focus on herself. A thrilling but frightening prospect she still has difficulty comprehending to this day.

Lili spent the first few months trying to find hobbies. Interests. Even dabbling in the company of courtesans to appease some of the loneliness seeped into her heart. Money that Ghislan left behind in his passing was enough to sustain her day-to-day life, but she still felt empty. Unfulfilled. Without her soulmate, she began to wonder if she'd eventually die of a broken heart the way some songbirds did when their mates passed. During a trip out by Moraby, Lili came across a Miqo'te man named [[Kolhi'to Embhre]] who passed along a possible business proposition at his free company, Black Sun Trading. Intrigued, Lili followed through on the matter and found employment working for the Silverstars, Matthias and Althena. It gave her a new purpose and new motivation, and during that time she met and had a brief coupling with one of her coworkers named [[Togy Brandmakt]]. While things didn't last, it opened a door for her she never thought she'd try again: Dating.

Work for Lili in Black Sun was usually fairly slow, with the occasional incident breaking up the monotony of each daily routine. But the people were interesting, and many interesting occurrences happened in the Bismarck from laughter to violence. Later, it was announced that the trading company would become an academy (Black Sun Academy), and Lili became the school receptionist. She kept an eye when she could on some of the more naive members and prospective students, including a young woman named [[Mouse Wytchwood]]. Through an old lover, Lili learned of Mouse's mysterious nature and past and vowed to keep it quiet and continue to help watching the girl from afar. Her focus became the school, as well as finding ways to relieve herself of her loneliness. She took her alchemy back up again, as well as continued her parents' legacy and proficiency in botany.

More time passed with very little incident. For a period, Lili was surrounded by an influx of interested parties who wished to start relationships with her. Only one caught her interest in the end, a miqo'te man she met through Kolhi'to named [[Darturu Torlan]]. Charmed and taken in by his good manners, wit, and appearence, he soon became a regular part of her life. And soon, a significant other. Shortly after this her youngest daughter, Sarameda, became ill. Needing constant care and attention, Lili took an extended period of time to be with her daughter and away from the world. Including away from Darturu.

Shortly after Sara finally recovered, Lili heard everyone had relocated to Ul'dah to start up a new company with Kolhi'to as head of the organization. A mercenary group called the Blacktalon Vanguard, and Darturu was his partner. Lili relocated so as to help with the group, as well as be supportive of Dart. While the relationship with Darturu didn't last and they eventually parted ways, she still met many new people and still talks to quite a few even after she left the Vanguard to start her own group, the Free Wing Society. During this time she met a young lalachild named [[Adokenai Kodomo]], a resident tot at the Quicksand that seemed to be cared after by Momodi and the adventurers that inhabited the place. So taken by him, she decided to adopt the boy as her own and the announcement was made at the opening of the Pumpkin Cafe. There, she met two people: [[Rock Shattermountain]] and [[Sarial Hawke]], both of whom took a liking to the woman and her charms. They later joined the Society, along with others that Lili knew from Blacktalon and beyond.

Also during this time, she met a man named [[C'kayah Tia]] who supplied with her alchemical regents that she was having a hard time getting a hold of. The attraction between the two was almost instant, and at the end of the night Lili decided to give him a link to her personal pearl. Not expecting to hear from him for quite some time (if ever), Lili was surprised when he got a hold of her almost immediately afterwards. It set off a chain of interactions that sent them down an unexpectedly passionate path of emotions and intimacy that Lili never seemed able to push aside. Even though at the begining she was wary, he made her feel like she could take a chance. It led her to meeting even more people, like [[Kenthy Pennyfeather]] and [[Miah Polaali]], and eventually led to her and Kayah becoming mates. While their relationship was 'open' and unconventional, she also took in a lover named [[Kaiten Skyborn]] while C'kayah took in his own interests.

The Society continued to thrive, though some of her friendships suffered as a product of her relationship with C'kayah. Her long standing friendship with [[T'shina Vashka]] and [[Tenha'a Rendha]] being the primary ones, as their dislike of C'kayah and vehemence against Lili being with him led to them recently leaving the Society. While this happened, Lili remained firm in her decision to spend her future with the male. Life continued to change, and still does to this day. Most recently she and C'kayah have become engaged, she has offered her and the Society's aid in the Doman refugee matters, and continues raising and caring after Ado.

'''Currently''': Lili remains working, balancing a home and professional life as best as she's able. She's usually found in Ul'dah or her company house, managing her employees or organizing relations and jobs. More often then not her time is work related save for those rare moments where she spends time quietly with her fiance, a friend, or a lover. Much of her business affairs seem to revolve around a few of her members that require 'special' care due to their natures or conditions both aetherical and non.

:-Lili is very kind and affectionate to most people she meets. That doesn't necessarily mean she's flirting with you. 
:-I tend to ignore or shut down individuals who get upset OOC about not being romantically involved with Lili and/or not getting the oppurtunity. She didn't pick you so there's probably a reason. Get over it. 
:-I'm very nice OOC so don't hesitate to approach for random RP, ideas, or if you want to know more about the Society!

=== General ===

'''Lilithium Altair (Lil-ith-ium Ah-l-tair) '''is a older Hyur midlander who is often seen in and around Ul'dah and various other parts of Eorzea. Her maternal nature and affectionate disposition leaves her well liked by most who come across her. Widowed three years before the Calamity and with her three children all grown and out of the house as of roughly a year ago, Lili finds that she's able to focus on herself and her own happiness for the first time since her teens. It's left her with many doorways of oppurtunity to choose from, some full of light and adventure while others harbor a darker purpose...

Recently, she has become the owner of a staffing company known as the Free Wing Society and adopted a little boy named Adokenai. On top of that, she has opened her heart that led to avenues she never dared dream were possible. She currently has a mate/fiance (C'kayah Tia), and has been pursuing various interests that range from people to books to trying her hand at the aetheric arts.

'''Note: Lili is able to see the aether of various individuals she meets. They manifest as light and colors, and I will sometimes whisper people OOC to determine what their aether is like so Lili can react or adjust accordingly.'''

=== Appearance ===

[[File:LiliSelf.png|none|LiliSelf.png]]

Standing at 5 fulm and 4 ilm, Lili is used to seeing the world from the shorter side of things. She used to wear her pale blonde hair long and nearly to her elbows, but almost two moons ago she chopped it rather short. Recently, she's grown it out again. Her eyes are very light green with a silvery cast to the color to give it an odd shimmering quality. While her features deceive others of her true age, she bares what marks she has with pride: Some crows feet at the corner of her eyes that show when she laughs, and similar lines at the corner of her lips that only start to show when she is smiling broadly. Having bared three children (two of which were twins), she was left with rather shapely hips and added curves that she had not possessed in her youth. One of the physical features most noticed by some who meet Lili is her rather large bust despite her small size. It usually causes her a myriad of problems, as some of her shorter Miqo'te friends and Lalafell companions sometimes get suffocated when she hugs them. The rest of her is well toned from the muscle and strenght it takes to wield her axe and fist weapons, and sunkissed from her years by the shores of Limsa or the sands of Ul'dah. Around her neck is a long chain with little silver fingerbells attached to it, and on her ring finger looks to be a wedding or engagement ring of some kind.

=== Behavior ===

Having gotten pregnant at fourteen and raising or looking after her children and those of others left Lili with a maternal nature that has been driven down to the core of her very being. She tends to look out for those around her, especially those that she feels a soft spot for, or those around her children's age (teens to early twenties range). Though this maternal drive of hers doesn't make her a pushover in the least, as it is possible to ignite her ire with the right buttons being pushed. Over all, she's calm and even tempered and usually the voice of reason for those around her. Ever one to play devil's advocate.

== Combat ==

=== General ===

Lili hasn't had much of a need to show her skills publically, but in the few times she's sparred with friends she's shown a great aptitude for a martial arts style of combat. Her fists, being her primary weapon, are usually not the thing to worry about. They sometimes serve as a mere distraction for her rather powerful legs to catch someone off guard. When she does happen to use her axe, it's an interesting sight since some of the weaponry are almost as big as she is. Yet she yields them with ease, using all her force with each blow. She fights with a certain level of honor, though if the situation should call for it she won't be afraid to play dirty.

== Tendencies ==

[[File:LiliandAdo3.png]]

Always one for trying and learning new things, Lili spends much of her idle time active in one way or another. If she's not relaxing in the Quicksand or the occasional visit to the Drowning Wench, she'll be home or out and about doing some kind of activity or socializing.

=== Family ===

●Ghislan Nightwing (deceased): Lili's late husband who went MIA during an assignment against the Garleans. After no body being found over the last near decade he's been gone, everyone has safely assumed he is dead and Lili no longer mourns her first and only true love. He was also of Ala Mhigan descent and large for a Highlander (7 fulms).

''●''[[Adokenai Kodomo]]: A young Lalachild who Lili met at the Quicksand one day. Since meeting, Lili had adopted the little boy as her own. He even calls her 'Mom' regularly, and comes running to her whenever he sees her. Usually when seen together, the little boy is being held by his new mother or playing around some where near by.

''●''Khavan Nightwing: Lili's oldest child and oldest son. At nineteen years of age, nearing twenty, Khavan is engaged to a male elezen and usually bothers Lili for wedding preperation.

''●''Sarameda Silverlark: Youngest twin daughter of Lilithium Altair and Amore Silverlark.

''●''Deisarameda Silverlark: Oldest twin daughter of Lilithium Altair and Amore Silverlark.

●Rahsha Altair: A Sunseeker miqo'te that Lili's parents found when Lili was only five. Abandoned on a supply ship, no one knows her tribal origin and could never relocate birth parents. Rahsha and Lili grew apart after Lili left home, and now the two rarely see one another.

''●''Andromeda and Reiko Altair (deceased): Lili's parents died shortly after the twins were born in a simple but tragic fire. Both were botanists who were unmatched in their knowledge of the land and its bountiful treasures.

=== Other Relationships ===

''●''[[Aedan Mathis]]: On her way to gather herbs in the Sylphlands, she came across a Hyur slumped over his faithful chocobo. Bloodied and unconscious, Lili took him to the nearby Sanctum of the Twelve and managed to save his life. While the two aren't in close contact, she sees him sporadically and keep in the back of her mind his offer to look after her children as a way of thanks for her helping him.

''●''[[Aya Foxheart]]: The Quicksand's favorite barmaid, Lili worked alongside C'kayah to help Aya with some personal problems, and offered the woman multiple safe places to hide away at should she had needed it. Afterwards, she hasn't seen much of her, though that hasn't stopped the affection she began to feel towards the woman.

''♥●''[[Azeiox Nelles]]: An elezen Lili met one day at the Quicksand who always seems to be looking out for her son and letting him right on his shoulder without batting an eye. Intimidating at first, she later found his more quiet nature to be comforting and enjoys spending time with him when she can. The nature of their relationship to outsiders appears friendly, though if there is anything else going on they certainly don't show it. In private they made the decision to become lovers, and developments are still very fresh and new between them. The time they have spent together is very few and far between, but it seems to fit Lili just fine.

●[[Chokho Viqqoh]]: A Keeper woman Lili met at the fishfry event the Society put on, she flirted rather heavily with Lili and even poured a cup of water on her to see her wet in her bikkini. They met up later when they found out they were neighbors, and have started a comfortable friendship. Chokho has made her attraction known, and Lili returned the sentiment. Their lives keep them busy and often apart, though they make time to spend with one another when they can. With the passage of weeks Lili's affections have softened, though she still wonders how the miqo'te woman is doing.

''♥●''[[C'kayah Tia]]: A Miqo'te who once supplied Lili with alchemical materials she was having a hard time acquiring, he was smitten with her from the start and she rejected his advances over and over again. Instead, teasing him with playful retorts and equally playful skepticism. They ended up being around one another off and on as time went on, and over time Lili came to see that his feelings and gestures were indeed sincere and affectionate by his repeat efforts to prove such. Since asking her to be his mate, and she in turn asking him to marry her, the two have been through great obstacles that have made them stronger then ever. When seen together, Lili couldn't be happier.

''●''[[Darturu Torlan]]: Darturu and Lili were once mated, but his co-creation of the Blacktalon Vanguard made balancing work and a relationship difficult. The two eventually decided to part ways, still caring for one another, but now left to their own devices. As time has passed and seeing less and less of him, her feelings had softened to the point where romance is no longer something she entertains with the Miqo'te. They have not seen one another since she left the Vanguard, and she seems to have no desire to change that.

''●''[[Dheina Tayuun]]: A young Miqo'te she met when coming back to Ul'dah via her previous mate, Darturu. They keep in touch sporadically, and have a pleasent friendship.

♥●[[Graeldelon Bloodrage]]: One of the newer members of the Society, Lili doesn't know the young man very well. However she can occasionally be caught looking at him with a faint and curious little smile as well as fussing over recent wounds he suffered as part of a training exercise.

''●''●[[Kagewoe Erasus]]: Fiance of Nymira's, Kage is also one of her officers. While she is not close to the male, she is confident in his abilities to help her and Nym keep everyone in line and together. Recent events with the Society have the two walking on thin ice around one another and generally not around one another.

''●''[[Kal Numara]]: A Highlander woman who is also a friend of Lili's. Usually teasing her, and constantly referring to her as 'Mama' or 'Mama Lili'. Such teasings are usually met with Lili retaliating (playfully so).

[[Kenthy Pennyfeather|''●''Kenthy Pennyfeather]]: A miqo'te Lili met through her interractions with C'kayah and the Morbolvines, she's grown a light friendship with the woman, as well as quite a bit of respect due to the help that was given to her during her experience in the form of a Moonkeeper. Despite her sassy and slightly abrasive nature, Lili finds her pleasent. During a series of discussions involving Kenthy and C'kayah's desire to add intimacy to their current relationship, Kenthy lashed out at Lili in a way that had her feeling almost hostile towards the woman. Later on, the two women managed to patch things up and Lili gave Kenthy her blessing to be involved with C'kayah. She doesn't see the redhead regular, but should one ask she considers her a friend.

''♥●''[[Kaiten Skyborn]]: Lili and this hyur were involved for an extended period as lovers and friends. Due to less and less time spent together and Lili's recent engagement to C'kayah, the two had drifted apart and Kaiten soon disappeared from her life completely. Without warning, he came to her office one night with vows of love and how much he had missed her. Revealing that falling in love with another woman helped him better understand how she could love him and C'kayah both in her own ways and at the same time, it helped with their reconciliation and the slow process of coming together once more.

''●''[[Kaohastraal Aeseroix]]:A very large roe man that was introduced to Lili via T'shina at the fish fry event. His Garlean name took her aback at first, but when they started talking he eased her mind and explained some of his story. He's admitted to having an interest in her on many levels, and they've agreed to simply get to know one another. Though it's hard to know what Lili is thinking when they're seen together. As of late, she's started helping him with a number of private matters regarding his 'health'.

''●''[[Katiti Kati]]: Lili met this Lalafell around the time she met Ado, who served alongside Toff as one of the Lalachild's unofficial guardians. She eventually joined the Society, being hired as Ado's official teacher. Lili trusts her judgement, but worries with how much she stresses over things all the time.

[[Kolhi'to Embhre|''●''Kolhi'to Embhre]]: Creator of the Blacktalon Vanguard and Lili's former employer, Lili has known Kol for quite some time. However, they seem neither friendly nor hostile. Instead only polite when meeting or speaking in passing. More often then not Kol's grumpy attitude tends to irk Lili even if she may not always show it.

''●''[[Leon Maxwell]]: A young boy Lili met through Tenha'a, she's done her best to look out for his well being and educate him on matters he inquires about, such as love. Knowing a few tidbits about his current health and situation, she's been doing some research into what can possibly be done to help him. Between her work in the Society and his involvements in other matters, assisting him hasn't been as large of a priority. Recently, she learned that he found a cure which brought her happiness to know that perhaps now he could live a long and healthy life.

♥●[[Locke Rinannis]]: She had seen this man when he was around one of the free company houses next to Blacktalon, though never spoke to him or approached him. Later, she heard he was looking for work and offered him a job at the Society. He's one of her most quiet employees, and as a result she actively tries to drag him around the others and be social. His polite demeanor and timidity charms her, and she finds him rather attractive though she values him as a friend and workmate moreso then anything.

''●''[[Mouse Wytchwood]]: A miqo'te girl with odd origins and green hair, Lili has always regarded the girl with motherly concern and attention. From watching her from afar or explaining terms and concepts she does not easily grasp or helping with her hair. She knows enough of Mouse's backstory to keep her eye on the girl when she's able to, and to try and guide harm out of her way.

''●''[[Nymira Valeroyant]]: One of the members of the Society and its' main healer, Nym is not only a good friend of Lili's but also one of her officers to help keep the Society running smoothly.

''●''[[Rock Shattermountain]]: A Highlander Lili has recently met when helping with the Pumpkin Cafe opening night. He also is a friend of her adopted son, Ado. After a night out together, he confessed to feelings of a more romantic nature, and the two have been slowly getting to know one another from there. He is also the one that gave her a little pet fawn whom she affectionately calls Dot. As their interractions have progressed, as well as his hints and confessions to seeing Lili as a prospective wife, it left her flattered by his intense emotions. While she still cares for him, they have drifted into more of a close friendship.

●[[Tendha'a Rendha]]: A male Miqo'te whom Lili met shortly after the creation of the Vanguard. The two quickly became friends and confidants, and he is the mate of T'shina Vashka. Since Lili and C'kayah started seeing one another, neither of the two have spoken much and he never said a word when he officially left the Society with T'shina and a few others.

''●''●[[Toff Vaughn]]: One of Ado's original guardians, Lili went to Toff and Katiti before she formally adopted Ado. While she respects the man, his childish bouts of attitude test the limits of her temper, including with how he has grown the habit lately of flirting with taken women. Whether he seems to know they're taken or not.

''●''●[[Togy Brandmakt]]: A previous lover, the two seperated due to Togy's wanderings and traveling keeping them apart moreso then together. While not on bad terms, his unstable nature and her mixed responses to his off days makes their interractions a hit-or-miss.

●[[T'shina Vashka]]: A young woman Lili regards as a friend, the recent interractions Lili has had with C'kayah has strained their relationship. Afterwards, the two didn't speak for a while and had one rather large argument that Tenha'a even became part that drove Lili away emotionally. Things never fully recovered after that, and when finding out that Lili and C'kayah were still together, she resigned from the Society.

●[[U'zhan Tia]]: A Miqo'te that Lili met due to his associations with T'shina, he asked Lili to go adventuring with him. Shortly afterwards, he stopped speaking with her. Having gotten the impression he was very much like the womanizing 'Nunh' types he claimed to dislike so much, Lili has had very little desire to rekindle a friendship. With his mating to one of her employees, Liandri, she is slowly getting more accustomed to seeing the man hanging around the Society grounds.

== History/Timeline ==

[[File:BirfdayLili.jpg]]

=== 1544-1559 Childhood/adolescence ===

Born an only child, Lili had a comfortable life with her parents living in Ul'dah. Taking frequent trips to the countryside and the desert to look for new herbs and roots and other things that were in demand or that her parents needed to discover. They met a variety of people and went a variety places before Lili even learned how to walk, though their home territory was always Ul'dah and the Thanalans. Around the time Lili was just turning five, her parents decided to relocate to La Noscea and start maping and surveying the lush island terrain. While on the cargo ship to Limsa Lominsa, the Altairs discovered a tiny bundle that was wailing and screaming and covered in bloodied rags. A newborn Miqo'te child, still covered in the blood of labor pains, though with no mother in sight. No one on the ship knew where she came from, and eventually Lili's parents made her part of the family and named her Rahsha.

Time passed easily in La Noscea. Lili treasured little Rahsha as if she was a blood sister. The tail and ears were only a cute little addition Lili liked to play with. Around the time she was eight and Rahsha was barely three, a family moved in nearby from Ala Mhigo with a single child of their own. A dark skinned, blonde haired, red eyed little prankster of a boy named Ghislan Nightwing. He was immidiately taken with Lili, even as a young boy, and showed it in his typical fashion of flipping her skirts, pulling on her head, and throwing sand and mud balls at he face. This usually earned him retaliation of equal brutality by Lili, with assistance from little Rahsha while their parents looked on with affection and amusement.

The years passed without incident. The comings and goings of the outside world seemed far away from Lili. Her life consisted of her family and Ghislan, and it seemed to be all she needed. As Ghislan and Lili got older, they went from children to friends, and before long, they were fawning over one another in the typical girlish and boyish fashions. Shortly after Lili's fourteenth birthday gathering, their love for one another was too much to be contained (in their young eyes at least). Following their coupling, Lili realized she was pregnant, and the two quickly escaped into the night to find the closest Priestess of Menphina to bless a union between them. Their elopement was received with a measure of shock and surprise that was quickly welcomed by all, save for Rahsha. Feeling that her sister abandoned her, the little Miqo'te never quite outgrew such feelings.

And thus began the life of Mrs. Lilithium Nightwing.

=== 1559-1569 Lilithium Amal'thea Nightwing ===

The married life was one Lili slipped into with ease. Shortly after turning fifteen summers, she gave birth to Khavan Amadeus Nightwing, who looked more like his father then anything else. Despite being young, they were hard working with Lili spending the majority of her time as a house wife taking care of their son with the aide of both of their parents. While Rahsha was loving to a degree to Khavan, she was still distant with her sister. It was something that, while Lili mourned for the lack of emotion she got from her, she couldn't focus on too deeply and still provide the needed care for her family.

During the first few years of their marriage, Ghislan continued to grow. Taller and taller and taller, reaching well past the average height for a Highlander. While it certainly got attention in a crowd and delighted Lili as well, it caught the eye of a few mercenary groups who saw great potential. Soon, he was recruited and cycled through a few companies who paid well and the work was mostly geared towards training. It brought in enough profit that Lili and Ghislan built their family home from the ground up. A beautiful, pale stoned cottage melded with shells from the nearby shore.

Throwing a grand celebration with friends to honor the new homestead, everyone (even Lili) drank in good cheer. One man amoungst them, however, took advantage of the situation. A long time friend of the couples' who joined Ghislan as a healer in some of his fights and jobs, his poor health would be the death of him soon and they all knew it. Amore Silverlark was his name, and he was the only living member of his family. Determined to not leave this world without carrying out his family name, he guided a very intoxicated Lili to a back room to take advantage, and succeeded with getting her pregnant. Overcome by guilt, he confessed to Ghislan who nearly killed him on the spot were it not for Lili intervening. Barely able to let it pass, Ghislan agreed to curb his animosity while it was discussed on what to do. A few weeks later, Amore succumbed to his illness and passed away, leaving Lili and Ghislan with two choices: Keep the illegitimate children, or find a way to terminate the pregnancy.

Months later, Deisarameda and Sarameda Silverlark were born. In honor of Amore and Ghislan's more happy history together, they kept the surname and Ghislan raised them as his own. Sadly, they inherited their father's illness and were in poor health as children and even into their now adult life.

Shortly after the girls were born, Lili's parents died abruptly in a house fire. Mere days later, Rahsha disappeared with what little belongings she covered from the fire. To this day, Lili has rarely seen sight of her adopted sister and has heard rumors that she retreated to the Shroud to perhaps find clues to her true family.

The years passed without incident. Ghislan put aside his mercenary life to join the military efforts around La Noscea and even beyond. During one particular assignment he was doing freelance for the Immortal Flames, they were attacked by Garleans in which Ghislan was captured and taken away. There was never a body recovered, and Lili was wracked by grief for a number of years. Even with her children there as support, it slowly became accepted that Ghislan was likely dead and never returning. Her soulmate, the love of her life, the father of her children, was gone. There was no more to be done.

And so, life went on.

=== 1569/0-Present Calamity ===

Lili ended up retaking her maiden name of Altair a few years after Ghislan passed, not feeling right baring the name of her dead husband. The day of the Calamity, Lili and her three children visited the empty grave on a little cliff over looking the sea that was dedicated to Ghislan. All four watched in complete horror as the world around them was torn to bits and land and buildings became decimated. Thankfully, their home remained intact and they suffered no severe losses. Lili focused more on her alchemical talents to help locals and those in the cities while making a little extra money for herself and her family. Within the last two years, her children grew up into beautiful, capable young adults. All three starting to go their own ways to build their new lives. It left Lili in an interesting position: After almost two decades of being married, being widowed, raising children...she now had time to focus on herself. A thrilling but frightening prospect she still has difficulty comprehending to this day.

Lili spent the first few months trying to find hobbies. Interests. Even dabbling in the company of courtesans to appease some of the loneliness seeped into her heart. Money that Ghislan left behind in his passing was enough to sustain her day-to-day life, but she still felt empty. Unfulfilled. Without her soulmate, she began to wonder if she'd eventually die of a broken heart the way some songbirds did when their mates passed. During a trip out by Moraby, Lili came across a Miqo'te man named [[Kolhi'to Embhre]] who passed along a possible business proposition at his free company, Black Sun Trading. Intrigued, Lili followed through on the matter and found employment working for the Silverstars, Matthias and Althena. It gave her a new purpose and new motivation, and during that time she met and had a brief coupling with one of her coworkers named [[Togy Brandmakt]]. While things didn't last, it opened a door for her she never thought she'd try again: Dating.

Work for Lili in Black Sun was usually fairly slow, with the occasional incident breaking up the monotony of each daily routine. But the people were interesting, and many interesting occurrences happened in the Bismarck from laughter to violence. Later, it was announced that the trading company would become an academy (Black Sun Academy), and Lili became the school receptionist. She kept an eye when she could on some of the more naive members and prospective students, including a young woman named [[Mouse Wytchwood]]. Through an old lover, Lili learned of Mouse's mysterious nature and past and vowed to keep it quiet and continue to help watching the girl from afar. Her focus became the school, as well as finding ways to relieve herself of her loneliness. She took her alchemy back up again, as well as continued her parents' legacy and proficiency in botany.

More time passed with very little incident. For a period, Lili was surrounded by an influx of interested parties who wished to start relationships with her. Only one caught her interest in the end, a miqo'te man she met through Kolhi'to named [[Darturu Torlan]]. Charmed and taken in by his good manners, wit, and appearence, he soon became a regular part of her life. And soon, a significant other. Shortly after this her youngest daughter, Sarameda, became ill. Needing constant care and attention, Lili took an extended period of time to be with her daughter and away from the world. Including away from Darturu.

Shortly after Sara finally recovered, Lili heard everyone had relocated to Ul'dah to start up a new company with Kolhi'to as head of the organization. A mercenary group called the Blacktalon Vanguard, and Darturu was his partner. Lili relocated so as to help with the group, as well as be supportive of Dart. While the relationship with Darturu didn't last and they eventually parted ways, she still met many new people and still talks to quite a few even after she left the Vanguard to start her own group, the Free Wing Society. During this time she met a young lalachild named [[Adokenai Kodomo]], a resident tot at the Quicksand that seemed to be cared after by Momodi and the adventurers that inhabited the place. So taken by him, she decided to adopt the boy as her own and the announcement was made at the opening of the Pumpkin Cafe. There, she met two people: [[Rock Shattermountain]] and [[Sarial Hawke]], both of whom took a liking to the woman and her charms. They later joined the Society, along with others that Lili knew from Blacktalon and beyond.

Also during this time, she met a man named [[C'kayah Tia]] who supplied with her alchemical regents that she was having a hard time getting a hold of. The attraction between the two was almost instant, and at the end of the night Lili decided to give him a link to her personal pearl. Not expecting to hear from him for quite some time (if ever), Lili was surprised when he got a hold of her almost immediately afterwards. It set off a chain of interactions that sent them down an unexpectedly passionate path of emotions and intimacy that Lili never seemed able to push aside. Even though at the begining she was wary, he made her feel like she could take a chance. It led her to meeting even more people, like [[Kenthy Pennyfeather]] and [[Miah Polaali]], and eventually led to her and Kayah becoming mates. While their relationship was 'open' and unconventional, she also took in a lover named [[Kaiten Skyborn]] while C'kayah took in his own interests.

The Society continued to thrive, though some of her friendships suffered as a product of her relationship with C'kayah. Her long standing friendship with [[T'shina Vashka]] and [[Tenha'a Rendha]] being the primary ones, as their dislike of C'kayah and vehemence against Lili being with him led to them recently leaving the Society. While this happened, Lili remained firm in her decision to spend her future with the male. Life continued to change, and still does to this day. Most recently she and C'kayah have become engaged, she has offered her and the Society's aid in the Doman refugee matters, and continues raising and caring after Ado.

'''Currently''': Lili remains working, balancing a home and professional life as best as she's able. She's usually found in Ul'dah or her company house, managing her employees or organizing relations and jobs. More often then not her time is work related save for those rare moments where she spends time quietly with her fiance, a friend, or a lover. Much of her business affairs seem to revolve around a few of her members that require 'special' care due to their natures or conditions both aetherical and non.

:-I tend to ignore or shut down individuals who get upset OOC about not being romantically involved with Lili and/or not getting the oppurtunity. She didn't pick you so there's probably a reason. Get over it.

=== General ===

'''Lilithium Altair (Lil-ith-ium Ah-l-tair) '''is a older Hyur midlander who is often seen in and around Ul'dah and various other parts of Eorzea. Her maternal nature and affectionate disposition leaves her well liked by most who come across her. Widowed three years before the Calamity and with her three children all grown and out of the house as of roughly a year ago, Lili finds that she's able to focus on herself and her own happiness for the first time since her teens. It's left her with many doorways of oppurtunity to choose from, some full of light and adventure while others harbor a darker purpose...

Recently, she has become the owner of a staffing company known as the Free Wing Society and adopted a little boy named Adokenai. On top of that, she has opened her heart that led to avenues she never dared dream were possible. She currently has a mate/fiance (C'kayah Tia), and has been pursuing various interests that range from people to books to trying her hand at the aetheric arts.

'''Note: Lili is able to see the aether of various individuals she meets. They manifest as light and colors, and I will sometimes whisper people OOC to determine what their aether is like so Lili can react or adjust accordingly.'''

=== Appearance ===

[[File:LiliSelf.png|none|LiliSelf.png]]

Standing at 5 fulm and 4 ilm, Lili is used to seeing the world from the shorter side of things. She used to wear her pale blonde hair long and nearly to her elbows, but almost two moons ago she chopped it rather short. Recently, she's grown it out again. Her eyes are very light green with a silvery cast to the color to give it an odd shimmering quality. While her features deceive others of her true age, she bares what marks she has with pride: Some crows feet at the corner of her eyes that show when she laughs, and similar lines at the corner of her lips that only start to show when she is smiling broadly. Having bared three children (two of which were twins), she was left with rather shapely hips and added curves that she had not possessed in her youth. One of the physical features most noticed by some who meet Lili is her rather large bust despite her small size. It usually causes her a myriad of problems, as some of her shorter Miqo'te friends and Lalafell companions sometimes get suffocated when she hugs them. The rest of her is well toned from the muscle and strenght it takes to wield her axe and fist weapons, and sunkissed from her years by the shores of Limsa or the sands of Ul'dah. Around her neck is a long chain with little silver fingerbells attached to it, and on her ring finger looks to be a wedding or engagement ring of some kind.

[[File:LiliandWhisper2.jpg|none|LiliandWhisper2.jpg]]

=== Behavior ===

Having gotten pregnant at fourteen and raising or looking after her children and those of others left Lili with a maternal nature that has been driven down to the core of her very being. She tends to look out for those around her, especially those that she feels a soft spot for, or those around her children's age (teens to early twenties range). Though this maternal drive of hers doesn't make her a pushover in the least, as it is possible to ignite her ire with the right buttons being pushed. Over all, she's calm and even tempered and usually the voice of reason for those around her. Ever one to play devil's advocate.

== Combat ==

=== General ===

Lili hasn't had much of a need to show her skills publically, but in the few times she's sparred with friends she's shown a great aptitude for a martial arts style of combat. Her fists, being her primary weapon, are usually not the thing to worry about. They sometimes serve as a mere distraction for her rather powerful legs to catch someone off guard. When she does happen to use her axe, it's an interesting sight since some of the weaponry are almost as big as she is. Yet she yields them with ease, using all her force with each blow. She fights with a certain level of honor, though if the situation should call for it she won't be afraid to play dirty.

== Tendencies ==

[[File:LiliandAdo3.png]]

Always one for trying and learning new things, Lili spends much of her idle time active in one way or another. If she's not relaxing in the Quicksand or the occasional visit to the Drowning Wench, she'll be home or out and about doing some kind of activity or socializing.

=== Family ===

●Ghislan Nightwing (deceased): Lili's late husband who went MIA during an assignment against the Garleans. After no body being found over the last near decade he's been gone, everyone has safely assumed he is dead and Lili no longer mourns her first and only true love. He was also of Ala Mhigan descent and large for a Highlander (7 fulms).

''●''[[Adokenai Kodomo]]: A young Lalachild who Lili met at the Quicksand one day. Since meeting, Lili had adopted the little boy as her own. He even calls her 'Mom' regularly, and comes running to her whenever he sees her. Usually when seen together, the little boy is being held by his new mother or playing around some where near by.

''●''Khavan Nightwing: Lili's oldest child and oldest son. At nineteen years of age, nearing twenty, Khavan is engaged to a male elezen and usually bothers Lili for wedding preperation.

''●''Sarameda Silverlark: Youngest twin daughter of Lilithium Altair and Amore Silverlark.

''●''Deisarameda Silverlark: Oldest twin daughter of Lilithium Altair and Amore Silverlark.

●Rahsha Altair: A Sunseeker miqo'te that Lili's parents found when Lili was only five. Abandoned on a supply ship, no one knows her tribal origin and could never relocate birth parents. Rahsha and Lili grew apart after Lili left home, and now the two rarely see one another.

''●''Andromeda and Reiko Altair (deceased): Lili's parents died shortly after the twins were born in a simple but tragic fire. Both were botanists who were unmatched in their knowledge of the land and its bountiful treasures.

=== Other Relationships ===

''●''[[Aedan Mathis]]: On her way to gather herbs in the Sylphlands, she came across a Hyur slumped over his faithful chocobo. Bloodied and unconscious, Lili took him to the nearby Sanctum of the Twelve and managed to save his life. While the two aren't in close contact, she sees him sporadically and keep in the back of her mind his offer to look after her children as a way of thanks for her helping him.

''●''[[Aya Foxheart]]: The Quicksand's favorite barmaid, Lili worked alongside C'kayah to help Aya with some personal problems, and offered the woman multiple safe places to hide away at should she had needed it. Afterwards, she hasn't seen much of her, though that hasn't stopped the affection she began to feel towards the woman.

''♥●''[[Azeiox Nelles]]: An elezen Lili met one day at the Quicksand who always seems to be looking out for her son and letting him right on his shoulder without batting an eye. Intimidating at first, she later found his more quiet nature to be comforting and enjoys spending time with him when she can. The nature of their relationship to outsiders appears friendly, though if there is anything else going on they certainly don't show it. In private they made the decision to become lovers, and developments are still very fresh and new between them. The time they have spent together is very few and far between, but it seems to fit Lili just fine.

●[[Chokho Viqqoh]]: A Keeper woman Lili met at the fishfry event the Society put on, she flirted rather heavily with Lili and even poured a cup of water on her to see her wet in her bikkini. They met up later when they found out they were neighbors, and have started a comfortable friendship. Chokho has made her attraction known, and Lili returned the sentiment. Their lives keep them busy and often apart, though they make time to spend with one another when they can. With the passage of weeks Lili's affections have softened, though she still wonders how the miqo'te woman is doing.

''♥●''[[C'kayah Tia]]: A Miqo'te who once supplied Lili with alchemical materials she was having a hard time acquiring, he was smitten with her from the start and she rejected his advances over and over again. Instead, teasing him with playful retorts and equally playful skepticism. They ended up being around one another off and on as time went on, and over time Lili came to see that his feelings and gestures were indeed sincere and affectionate by his repeat efforts to prove such. Since asking her to be his mate, and she in turn asking him to marry her, the two have been through great obstacles that have made them stronger then ever. When seen together, Lili couldn't be happier.

''●''[[Darturu Torlan]]: Darturu and Lili were once mated, but his co-creation of the Blacktalon Vanguard made balancing work and a relationship difficult. The two eventually decided to part ways, still caring for one another, but now left to their own devices. As time has passed and seeing less and less of him, her feelings had softened to the point where romance is no longer something she entertains with the Miqo'te. They have not seen one another since she left the Vanguard, and she seems to have no desire to change that.

''●''[[Dheina Tayuun]]: A young Miqo'te she met when coming back to Ul'dah via her previous mate, Darturu. They keep in touch sporadically, and have a pleasent friendship.

♥●[[Graeldelon Bloodrage]]: One of the newer members of the Society, Lili doesn't know the young man very well. However she can occasionally be caught looking at him with a faint and curious little smile as well as fussing over recent wounds he suffered as part of a training exercise.

''●''●[[Kagewoe Erasus]]: Fiance of Nymira's, Kage is also one of her officers. While she is not close to the male, she is confident in his abilities to help her and Nym keep everyone in line and together. Recent events with the Society have the two walking on thin ice around one another and generally not around one another.

''●''[[Kal Numara]]: A Highlander woman who is also a friend of Lili's. Usually teasing her, and constantly referring to her as 'Mama' or 'Mama Lili'. Such teasings are usually met with Lili retaliating (playfully so).

[[Kenthy Pennyfeather|''●''Kenthy Pennyfeather]]: A miqo'te Lili met through her interractions with C'kayah and the Morbolvines, she's grown a light friendship with the woman, as well as quite a bit of respect due to the help that was given to her during her experience in the form of a Moonkeeper. Despite her sassy and slightly abrasive nature, Lili finds her pleasent. During a series of discussions involving Kenthy and C'kayah's desire to add intimacy to their current relationship, Kenthy lashed out at Lili in a way that had her feeling almost hostile towards the woman. Later on, the two women managed to patch things up and Lili gave Kenthy her blessing to be involved with C'kayah. She doesn't see the redhead regular, but should one ask she considers her a friend.

''♥●''[[Kaiten Skyborn]]: Lili and this hyur were involved for an extended period as lovers and friends. Due to less and less time spent together and Lili's recent engagement to C'kayah, the two had drifted apart and Kaiten soon disappeared from her life completely. Without warning, he came to her office one night with vows of love and how much he had missed her. Revealing that falling in love with another woman helped him better understand how she could love him and C'kayah both in her own ways and at the same time, it helped with their reconciliation and the slow process of coming together once more.

''●''[[Kaohastraal Aeseroix]]:A very large roe man that was introduced to Lili via T'shina at the fish fry event. His Garlean name took her aback at first, but when they started talking he eased her mind and explained some of his story. He's admitted to having an interest in her on many levels, and they've agreed to simply get to know one another. Though it's hard to know what Lili is thinking when they're seen together. As of late, she's started helping him with a number of private matters regarding his 'health'.

''●''[[Katiti Kati]]: Lili met this Lalafell around the time she met Ado, who served alongside Toff as one of the Lalachild's unofficial guardians. She eventually joined the Society, being hired as Ado's official teacher. Lili trusts her judgement, but worries with how much she stresses over things all the time.

[[Kolhi'to Embhre|''●''Kolhi'to Embhre]]: Creator of the Blacktalon Vanguard and Lili's former employer, Lili has known Kol for quite some time. However, they seem neither friendly nor hostile. Instead only polite when meeting or speaking in passing. More often then not Kol's grumpy attitude tends to irk Lili even if she may not always show it.

''●''[[Leon Maxwell]]: A young boy Lili met through Tenha'a, she's done her best to look out for his well being and educate him on matters he inquires about, such as love. Knowing a few tidbits about his current health and situation, she's been doing some research into what can possibly be done to help him. Between her work in the Society and his involvements in other matters, assisting him hasn't been as large of a priority. Recently, she learned that he found a cure which brought her happiness to know that perhaps now he could live a long and healthy life.

♥●[[Locke Rinannis]]: She had seen this man when he was around one of the free company houses next to Blacktalon, though never spoke to him or approached him. Later, she heard he was looking for work and offered him a job at the Society. He's one of her most quiet employees, and as a result she actively tries to drag him around the others and be social. His polite demeanor and timidity charms her, and she finds him rather attractive though she values him as a friend and workmate moreso then anything.

''●''[[Mouse Wytchwood]]: A miqo'te girl with odd origins and green hair, Lili has always regarded the girl with motherly concern and attention. From watching her from afar or explaining terms and concepts she does not easily grasp or helping with her hair. She knows enough of Mouse's backstory to keep her eye on the girl when she's able to, and to try and guide harm out of her way.

''●''[[Nymira Valeroyant]]: One of the members of the Society and its' main healer, Nym is not only a good friend of Lili's but also one of her officers to help keep the Society running smoothly.

''●''[[Rock Shattermountain]]: A Highlander Lili has recently met when helping with the Pumpkin Cafe opening night. He also is a friend of her adopted son, Ado. After a night out together, he confessed to feelings of a more romantic nature, and the two have been slowly getting to know one another from there. He is also the one that gave her a little pet fawn whom she affectionately calls Dot. As their interractions have progressed, as well as his hints and confessions to seeing Lili as a prospective wife, it left her flattered by his intense emotions. While she still cares for him, they have drifted into more of a close friendship.

●[[Tendha'a Rendha]]: A male Miqo'te whom Lili met shortly after the creation of the Vanguard. The two quickly became friends and confidants, and he is the mate of T'shina Vashka. Since Lili and C'kayah started seeing one another, neither of the two have spoken much and he never said a word when he officially left the Society with T'shina and a few others.

''●''●[[Toff Vaughn]]: One of Ado's original guardians, Lili went to Toff and Katiti before she formally adopted Ado. While she respects the man, his childish bouts of attitude test the limits of her temper, including with how he has grown the habit lately of flirting with taken women. Whether he seems to know they're taken or not.

''●''●[[Togy Brandmakt]]: A previous lover, the two seperated due to Togy's wanderings and traveling keeping them apart moreso then together. While not on bad terms, his unstable nature and her mixed responses to his off days makes their interractions a hit-or-miss.

●[[T'shina Vashka]]: A young woman Lili regards as a friend, the recent interractions Lili has had with C'kayah has strained their relationship. Afterwards, the two didn't speak for a while and had one rather large argument that Tenha'a even became part that drove Lili away emotionally. Things never fully recovered after that, and when finding out that Lili and C'kayah were still together, she resigned from the Society.

●[[U'zhan Tia]]: A Miqo'te that Lili met due to his associations with T'shina, he asked Lili to go adventuring with him. Shortly afterwards, he stopped speaking with her. Having gotten the impression he was very much like the womanizing 'Nunh' types he claimed to dislike so much, Lili has had very little desire to rekindle a friendship. With his mating to one of her employees, Liandri, she is slowly getting more accustomed to seeing the man hanging around the Society grounds.

== History/Timeline ==

[[File:BirfdayLili.jpg]]

=== 1544-1559 Childhood/adolescence ===

Born an only child, Lili had a comfortable life with her parents living in Ul'dah. Taking frequent trips to the countryside and the desert to look for new herbs and roots and other things that were in demand or that her parents needed to discover. They met a variety of people and went a variety places before Lili even learned how to walk, though their home territory was always Ul'dah and the Thanalans. Around the time Lili was just turning five, her parents decided to relocate to La Noscea and start maping and surveying the lush island terrain. While on the cargo ship to Limsa Lominsa, the Altairs discovered a tiny bundle that was wailing and screaming and covered in bloodied rags. A newborn Miqo'te child, still covered in the blood of labor pains, though with no mother in sight. No one on the ship knew where she came from, and eventually Lili's parents made her part of the family and named her Rahsha.

Time passed easily in La Noscea. Lili treasured little Rahsha as if she was a blood sister. The tail and ears were only a cute little addition Lili liked to play with. Around the time she was eight and Rahsha was barely three, a family moved in nearby from Ala Mhigo with a single child of their own. A dark skinned, blonde haired, red eyed little prankster of a boy named Ghislan Nightwing. He was immidiately taken with Lili, even as a young boy, and showed it in his typical fashion of flipping her skirts, pulling on her head, and throwing sand and mud balls at he face. This usually earned him retaliation of equal brutality by Lili, with assistance from little Rahsha while their parents looked on with affection and amusement.

The years passed without incident. The comings and goings of the outside world seemed far away from Lili. Her life consisted of her family and Ghislan, and it seemed to be all she needed. As Ghislan and Lili got older, they went from children to friends, and before long, they were fawning over one another in the typical girlish and boyish fashions. Shortly after Lili's fourteenth birthday gathering, their love for one another was too much to be contained (in their young eyes at least). Following their coupling, Lili realized she was pregnant, and the two quickly escaped into the night to find the closest Priestess of Menphina to bless a union between them. Their elopement was received with a measure of shock and surprise that was quickly welcomed by all, save for Rahsha. Feeling that her sister abandoned her, the little Miqo'te never quite outgrew such feelings.

And thus began the life of Mrs. Lilithium Nightwing.

=== 1559-1569 Lilithium Amal'thea Nightwing ===

The married life was one Lili slipped into with ease. Shortly after turning fifteen summers, she gave birth to Khavan Amadeus Nightwing, who looked more like his father then anything else. Despite being young, they were hard working with Lili spending the majority of her time as a house wife taking care of their son with the aide of both of their parents. While Rahsha was loving to a degree to Khavan, she was still distant with her sister. It was something that, while Lili mourned for the lack of emotion she got from her, she couldn't focus on too deeply and still provide the needed care for her family.

During the first few years of their marriage, Ghislan continued to grow. Taller and taller and taller, reaching well past the average height for a Highlander. While it certainly got attention in a crowd and delighted Lili as well, it caught the eye of a few mercenary groups who saw great potential. Soon, he was recruited and cycled through a few companies who paid well and the work was mostly geared towards training. It brought in enough profit that Lili and Ghislan built their family home from the ground up. A beautiful, pale stoned cottage melded with shells from the nearby shore.

Throwing a grand celebration with friends to honor the new homestead, everyone (even Lili) drank in good cheer. One man amoungst them, however, took advantage of the situation. A long time friend of the couples' who joined Ghislan as a healer in some of his fights and jobs, his poor health would be the death of him soon and they all knew it. Amore Silverlark was his name, and he was the only living member of his family. Determined to not leave this world without carrying out his family name, he guided a very intoxicated Lili to a back room to take advantage, and succeeded with getting her pregnant. Overcome by guilt, he confessed to Ghislan who nearly killed him on the spot were it not for Lili intervening. Barely able to let it pass, Ghislan agreed to curb his animosity while it was discussed on what to do. A few weeks later, Amore succumbed to his illness and passed away, leaving Lili and Ghislan with two choices: Keep the illegitimate children, or find a way to terminate the pregnancy.

Months later, Deisarameda and Sarameda Silverlark were born. In honor of Amore and Ghislan's more happy history together, they kept the surname and Ghislan raised them as his own. Sadly, they inherited their father's illness and were in poor health as children and even into their now adult life.

Shortly after the girls were born, Lili's parents died abruptly in a house fire. Mere days later, Rahsha disappeared with what little belongings she covered from the fire. To this day, Lili has rarely seen sight of her adopted sister and has heard rumors that she retreated to the Shroud to perhaps find clues to her true family.

The years passed without incident. Ghislan put aside his mercenary life to join the military efforts around La Noscea and even beyond. During one particular assignment he was doing freelance for the Immortal Flames, they were attacked by Garleans in which Ghislan was captured and taken away. There was never a body recovered, and Lili was wracked by grief for a number of years. Even with her children there as support, it slowly became accepted that Ghislan was likely dead and never returning. Her soulmate, the love of her life, the father of her children, was gone. There was no more to be done.

And so, life went on.

=== 1569/0-Present Calamity ===

Lili ended up retaking her maiden name of Altair a few years after Ghislan passed, not feeling right baring the name of her dead husband. The day of the Calamity, Lili and her three children visited the empty grave on a little cliff over looking the sea that was dedicated to Ghislan. All four watched in complete horror as the world around them was torn to bits and land and buildings became decimated. Thankfully, their home remained intact and they suffered no severe losses. Lili focused more on her alchemical talents to help locals and those in the cities while making a little extra money for herself and her family. Within the last two years, her children grew up into beautiful, capable young adults. All three starting to go their own ways to build their new lives. It left Lili in an interesting position: After almost two decades of being married, being widowed, raising children...she now had time to focus on herself. A thrilling but frightening prospect she still has difficulty comprehending to this day.

Lili spent the first few months trying to find hobbies. Interests. Even dabbling in the company of courtesans to appease some of the loneliness seeped into her heart. Money that Ghislan left behind in his passing was enough to sustain her day-to-day life, but she still felt empty. Unfulfilled. Without her soulmate, she began to wonder if she'd eventually die of a broken heart the way some songbirds did when their mates passed. During a trip out by Moraby, Lili came across a Miqo'te man named [[Kolhi'to Embhre]] who passed along a possible business proposition at his free company, Black Sun Trading. Intrigued, Lili followed through on the matter and found employment working for the Silverstars, Matthias and Althena. It gave her a new purpose and new motivation, and during that time she met and had a brief coupling with one of her coworkers named [[Togy Brandmakt]]. While things didn't last, it opened a door for her she never thought she'd try again: Dating.

Work for Lili in Black Sun was usually fairly slow, with the occasional incident breaking up the monotony of each daily routine. But the people were interesting, and many interesting occurrences happened in the Bismarck from laughter to violence. Later, it was announced that the trading company would become an academy (Black Sun Academy), and Lili became the school receptionist. She kept an eye when she could on some of the more naive members and prospective students, including a young woman named [[Mouse Wytchwood]]. Through an old lover, Lili learned of Mouse's mysterious nature and past and vowed to keep it quiet and continue to help watching the girl from afar. Her focus became the school, as well as finding ways to relieve herself of her loneliness. She took her alchemy back up again, as well as continued her parents' legacy and proficiency in botany.

More time passed with very little incident. For a period, Lili was surrounded by an influx of interested parties who wished to start relationships with her. Only one caught her interest in the end, a miqo'te man she met through Kolhi'to named [[Darturu Torlan]]. Charmed and taken in by his good manners, wit, and appearence, he soon became a regular part of her life. And soon, a significant other. Shortly after this her youngest daughter, Sarameda, became ill. Needing constant care and attention, Lili took an extended period of time to be with her daughter and away from the world. Including away from Darturu.

Shortly after Sara finally recovered, Lili heard everyone had relocated to Ul'dah to start up a new company with Kolhi'to as head of the organization. A mercenary group called the Blacktalon Vanguard, and Darturu was his partner. Lili relocated so as to help with the group, as well as be supportive of Dart. While the relationship with Darturu didn't last and they eventually parted ways, she still met many new people and still talks to quite a few even after she left the Vanguard to start her own group, the Free Wing Society. During this time she met a young lalachild named [[Adokenai Kodomo]], a resident tot at the Quicksand that seemed to be cared after by Momodi and the adventurers that inhabited the place. So taken by him, she decided to adopt the boy as her own and the announcement was made at the opening of the Pumpkin Cafe. There, she met two people: [[Rock Shattermountain]] and [[Sarial Hawke]], both of whom took a liking to the woman and her charms. They later joined the Society, along with others that Lili knew from Blacktalon and beyond.

Also during this time, she met a man named [[C'kayah Tia]] who supplied with her alchemical regents that she was having a hard time getting a hold of. The attraction between the two was almost instant, and at the end of the night Lili decided to give him a link to her personal pearl. Not expecting to hear from him for quite some time (if ever), Lili was surprised when he got a hold of her almost immediately afterwards. It set off a chain of interactions that sent them down an unexpectedly passionate path of emotions and intimacy that Lili never seemed able to push aside. Even though at the begining she was wary, he made her feel like she could take a chance. It led her to meeting even more people, like [[Kenthy Pennyfeather]] and [[Miah Polaali]], and eventually led to her and Kayah becoming mates. While their relationship was 'open' and unconventional, she also took in a lover named [[Kaiten Skyborn]] while C'kayah took in his own interests.

The Society continued to thrive, though some of her friendships suffered as a product of her relationship with C'kayah. Her long standing friendship with [[T'shina Vashka]] and [[Tenha'a Rendha]] being the primary ones, as their dislike of C'kayah and vehemence against Lili being with him led to them recently leaving the Society. While this happened, Lili remained firm in her decision to spend her future with the male. Life continued to change, and still does to this day. Most recently she and C'kayah have become engaged, she has offered her and the Society's aid in the Doman refugee matters, and continues raising and caring after Ado.

'''Currently''': Lili remains working, balancing a home and professional life as best as she's able. She's usually found in Ul'dah or her company house, managing her employees or organizing relations and jobs. More often then not her time is work related save for those rare moments where she spends time quietly with her fiance, a friend, or a lover. Much of her business affairs seem to revolve around a few of her members that require 'special' care due to their natures or conditions both aetherical and non.

=== General ===

'''Lilithium Altair (Lil-ith-ium Ah-l-tair) '''is a older Hyur midlander who is often seen in and around Ul'dah and various other parts of Eorzea. Her maternal nature and affectionate disposition leaves her well liked by most who come across her. Widowed three years before the Calamity and with her three children all grown and out of the house as of roughly a year ago, Lili finds that she's able to focus on herself and her own happiness for the first time since her teens. It's left her with many doorways of oppurtunity to choose from, some full of light and adventure while others harbor a darker purpose...

Recently, she has become the owner of a staffing company known as the Free Wing Society and adopted a little boy named Adokenai. On top of that, she has opened her heart that led to avenues she never dared dream were possible. She currently has a mate/fiance (C'kayah Tia), and has been pursuing various interests that range from people to books to trying her hand at the aetheric arts.

'''Note: Lili is able to see the aether of various individuals she meets. They manifest as light and colors, and I will sometimes whisper people OOC to determine what their aether is like so Lili can react or adjust accordingly.'''

=== Appearance ===

[[File:LiliSelf.png|none|LiliSelf.png]]

Standing at 5 fulm and 4 ilm, Lili is used to seeing the world from the shorter side of things. She used to wear her pale blonde hair long and nearly to her elbows, but almost two moons ago she chopped it rather short. Recently, she's grown it out again. Her eyes are very light green with a silvery cast to the color to give it an odd shimmering quality. While her features deceive others of her true age, she bares what marks she has with pride: Some crows feet at the corner of her eyes that show when she laughs, and similar lines at the corner of her lips that only start to show when she is smiling broadly. Having bared three children (two of which were twins), she was left with rather shapely hips and added curves that she had not possessed in her youth. One of the physical features most noticed by some who meet Lili is her rather large bust despite her small size. It usually causes her a myriad of problems, as some of her shorter Miqo'te friends and Lalafell companions sometimes get suffocated when she hugs them. The rest of her is well toned from the muscle and strenght it takes to wield her axe and fist weapons, and sunkissed from her years by the shores of Limsa or the sands of Ul'dah. Around her neck is a long chain with little silver fingerbells attached to it, and on her ring finger looks to be a wedding or engagement ring of some kind.

=== Behavior ===

Having gotten pregnant at fourteen and raising or looking after her children and those of others left Lili with a maternal nature that has been driven down to the core of her very being. She tends to look out for those around her, especially those that she feels a soft spot for, or those around her children's age (teens to early twenties range). Though this maternal drive of hers doesn't make her a pushover in the least, as it is possible to ignite her ire with the right buttons being pushed. Over all, she's calm and even tempered and usually the voice of reason for those around her. Ever one to play devil's advocate.

== Combat ==

=== General ===

Lili hasn't had much of a need to show her skills publically, but in the few times she's sparred with friends she's shown a great aptitude for a martial arts style of combat. Her fists, being her primary weapon, are usually not the thing to worry about. They sometimes serve as a mere distraction for her rather powerful legs to catch someone off guard. When she does happen to use her axe, it's an interesting sight since some of the weaponry are almost as big as she is. Yet she yields them with ease, using all her force with each blow. She fights with a certain level of honor, though if the situation should call for it she won't be afraid to play dirty.

=== Family ===

●Ghislan Nightwing (deceased): Lili's late husband who went MIA during an assignment against the Garleans. After no body being found over the last near decade he's been gone, everyone has safely assumed he is dead and Lili no longer mourns her first and only true love. He was also of Ala Mhigan descent and large for a Highlander (7 fulms).

''●''[[Adokenai Kodomo]]: A young Lalachild who Lili met at the Quicksand one day. Since meeting, Lili had adopted the little boy as her own. He even calls her 'Mom' regularly, and comes running to her whenever he sees her. Usually when seen together, the little boy is being held by his new mother or playing around some where near by.

''●''Khavan Nightwing: Lili's oldest child and oldest son. At nineteen years of age, nearing twenty, Khavan is engaged to a male elezen and usually bothers Lili for wedding preperation.

''●''Sarameda Silverlark: Youngest twin daughter of Lilithium Altair and Amore Silverlark.

''●''Deisarameda Silverlark: Oldest twin daughter of Lilithium Altair and Amore Silverlark.

●Rahsha Altair: A Sunseeker miqo'te that Lili's parents found when Lili was only five. Abandoned on a supply ship, no one knows her tribal origin and could never relocate birth parents. Rahsha and Lili grew apart after Lili left home, and now the two rarely see one another.

''●''Andromeda and Reiko Altair (deceased): Lili's parents died shortly after the twins were born in a simple but tragic fire. Both were botanists who were unmatched in their knowledge of the land and its bountiful treasures.

=== Other Relationships ===

''●''[[Aedan Mathis]]: On her way to gather herbs in the Sylphlands, she came across a Hyur slumped over his faithful chocobo. Bloodied and unconscious, Lili took him to the nearby Sanctum of the Twelve and managed to save his life. While the two aren't in close contact, she sees him sporadically and keep in the back of her mind his offer to look after her children as a way of thanks for her helping him.

''●''[[Aya Foxheart]]: The Quicksand's favorite barmaid, Lili worked alongside C'kayah to help Aya with some personal problems, and offered the woman multiple safe places to hide away at should she had needed it. Afterwards, she hasn't seen much of her, though that hasn't stopped the affection she began to feel towards the woman.

''♥●''[[Azeiox Nelles]]: An elezen Lili met one day at the Quicksand who always seems to be looking out for her son and letting him right on his shoulder without batting an eye. Intimidating at first, she later found his more quiet nature to be comforting and enjoys spending time with him when she can. The nature of their relationship to outsiders appears friendly, though if there is anything else going on they certainly don't show it. In private they made the decision to become lovers, and developments are still very fresh and new between them. The time they have spent together is very few and far between, but it seems to fit Lili just fine.

●[[Chokho Viqqoh]]: A Keeper woman Lili met at the fishfry event the Society put on, she flirted rather heavily with Lili and even poured a cup of water on her to see her wet in her bikkini. They met up later when they found out they were neighbors, and have started a comfortable friendship. Chokho has made her attraction known, and Lili returned the sentiment. Their lives keep them busy and often apart, though they make time to spend with one another when they can. With the passage of weeks Lili's affections have softened, though she still wonders how the miqo'te woman is doing.

''♥●''[[C'kayah Tia]]: A Miqo'te who once supplied Lili with alchemical materials she was having a hard time acquiring, he was smitten with her from the start and she rejected his advances over and over again. Instead, teasing him with playful retorts and equally playful skepticism. They ended up being around one another off and on as time went on, and over time Lili came to see that his feelings and gestures were indeed sincere and affectionate by his repeat efforts to prove such. Since asking her to be his mate, and she in turn asking him to marry her, the two have been through great obstacles that have made them stronger then ever. When seen together, Lili couldn't be happier.

''●''[[Darturu Torlan]]: Darturu and Lili were once mated, but his co-creation of the Blacktalon Vanguard made balancing work and a relationship difficult. The two eventually decided to part ways, still caring for one another, but now left to their own devices. As time has passed and seeing less and less of him, her feelings had softened to the point where romance is no longer something she entertains with the Miqo'te. They have not seen one another since she left the Vanguard, and she seems to have no desire to change that.

''●''[[Dheina Tayuun]]: A young Miqo'te she met when coming back to Ul'dah via her previous mate, Darturu. They keep in touch sporadically, and have a pleasent friendship.

♥●[[Graeldelon Bloodrage]]: One of the newer members of the Society, Lili doesn't know the young man very well. However she can occasionally be caught looking at him with a faint and curious little smile as well as fussing over recent wounds he suffered as part of a training exercise.

''●''●[[Kagewoe Erasus]]: Fiance of Nymira's, Kage is also one of her officers. While she is not close to the male, she is confident in his abilities to help her and Nym keep everyone in line and together. Recent events with the Society have the two walking on thin ice around one another and generally not around one another.

''●''[[Kal Numara]]: A Highlander woman who is also a friend of Lili's. Usually teasing her, and constantly referring to her as 'Mama' or 'Mama Lili'. Such teasings are usually met with Lili retaliating (playfully so).

[[Kenthy Pennyfeather|''●''Kenthy Pennyfeather]]: A miqo'te Lili met through her interractions with C'kayah and the Morbolvines, she's grown a light friendship with the woman, as well as quite a bit of respect due to the help that was given to her during her experience in the form of a Moonkeeper. Despite her sassy and slightly abrasive nature, Lili finds her pleasent. During a series of discussions involving Kenthy and C'kayah's desire to add intimacy to their current relationship, Kenthy lashed out at Lili in a way that had her feeling almost hostile towards the woman. Later on, the two women managed to patch things up and Lili gave Kenthy her blessing to be involved with C'kayah. She doesn't see the redhead regular, but should one ask she considers her a friend.

''♥●''[[Kaiten Skyborn]]: Lili and this hyur were involved for an extended period as lovers and friends. Due to less and less time spent together and Lili's recent engagement to C'kayah, the two had drifted apart and Kaiten soon disappeared from her life completely. Without warning, he came to her office one night with vows of love and how much he had missed her. Revealing that falling in love with another woman helped him better understand how she could love him and C'kayah both in her own ways and at the same time, it helped with their reconciliation and the slow process of coming together once more.

''●''[[Kaohastraal Aeseroix]]:A very large roe man that was introduced to Lili via T'shina at the fish fry event. His Garlean name took her aback at first, but when they started talking he eased her mind and explained some of his story. He's admitted to having an interest in her on many levels, and they've agreed to simply get to know one another. Though it's hard to know what Lili is thinking when they're seen together. As of late, she's started helping him with a number of private matters regarding his 'health'.

''●''[[Katiti Kati]]: Lili met this Lalafell around the time she met Ado, who served alongside Toff as one of the Lalachild's unofficial guardians. She eventually joined the Society, being hired as Ado's official teacher. Lili trusts her judgement, but worries with how much she stresses over things all the time.

[[Kolhi'to Embhre|''●''Kolhi'to Embhre]]: Creator of the Blacktalon Vanguard and Lili's former employer, Lili has known Kol for quite some time. However, they seem neither friendly nor hostile. Instead only polite when meeting or speaking in passing. More often then not Kol's grumpy attitude tends to irk Lili even if she may not always show it.

''●''[[Leon Maxwell]]: A young boy Lili met through Tenha'a, she's done her best to look out for his well being and educate him on matters he inquires about, such as love. Knowing a few tidbits about his current health and situation, she's been doing some research into what can possibly be done to help him. Between her work in the Society and his involvements in other matters, assisting him hasn't been as large of a priority. Recently, she learned that he found a cure which brought her happiness to know that perhaps now he could live a long and healthy life.

♥●[[Locke Rinannis]]: She had seen this man when he was around one of the free company houses next to Blacktalon, though never spoke to him or approached him. Later, she heard he was looking for work and offered him a job at the Society. He's one of her most quiet employees, and as a result she actively tries to drag him around the others and be social. His polite demeanor and timidity charms her, and she finds him rather attractive though she values him as a friend and workmate moreso then anything.

''●''[[Mouse Wytchwood]]: A miqo'te girl with odd origins and green hair, Lili has always regarded the girl with motherly concern and attention. From watching her from afar or explaining terms and concepts she does not easily grasp or helping with her hair. She knows enough of Mouse's backstory to keep her eye on the girl when she's able to, and to try and guide harm out of her way.

''●''[[Nymira Valeroyant]]: One of the members of the Society and its' main healer, Nym is not only a good friend of Lili's but also one of her officers to help keep the Society running smoothly.

''●''[[Rock Shattermountain]]: A Highlander Lili has recently met when helping with the Pumpkin Cafe opening night. He also is a friend of her adopted son, Ado. After a night out together, he confessed to feelings of a more romantic nature, and the two have been slowly getting to know one another from there. He is also the one that gave her a little pet fawn whom she affectionately calls Dot. As their interractions have progressed, as well as his hints and confessions to seeing Lili as a prospective wife, it left her flattered by his intense emotions. While she still cares for him, they have drifted into more of a close friendship.

●[[Tendha'a Rendha]]: A male Miqo'te whom Lili met shortly after the creation of the Vanguard. The two quickly became friends and confidants, and he is the mate of T'shina Vashka. Since Lili and C'kayah started seeing one another, neither of the two have spoken much and he never said a word when he officially left the Society with T'shina and a few others.

''●''●[[Toff Vaughn]]: One of Ado's original guardians, Lili went to Toff and Katiti before she formally adopted Ado. While she respects the man, his childish bouts of attitude test the limits of her temper, including with how he has grown the habit lately of flirting with taken women. Whether he seems to know they're taken or not.

''●''●[[Togy Brandmakt]]: A previous lover, the two seperated due to Togy's wanderings and traveling keeping them apart moreso then together. While not on bad terms, his unstable nature and her mixed responses to his off days makes their interractions a hit-or-miss.

●[[T'shina Vashka]]: A young woman Lili regards as a friend, the recent interractions Lili has had with C'kayah has strained their relationship. Afterwards, the two didn't speak for a while and had one rather large argument that Tenha'a even became part that drove Lili away emotionally. Things never fully recovered after that, and when finding out that Lili and C'kayah were still together, she resigned from the Society.

●[[U'zhan Tia]]: A Miqo'te that Lili met due to his associations with T'shina, he asked Lili to go adventuring with him. Shortly afterwards, he stopped speaking with her. Having gotten the impression he was very much like the womanizing 'Nunh' types he claimed to dislike so much, Lili has had very little desire to rekindle a friendship. With his mating to one of her employees, Liandri, she is slowly getting more accustomed to seeing the man hanging around the Society grounds.

== History/Timeline ==

=== 1544-1559 Childhood/adolescence ===

Born an only child, Lili had a comfortable life with her parents living in Ul'dah. Taking frequent trips to the countryside and the desert to look for new herbs and roots and other things that were in demand or that her parents needed to discover. They met a variety of people and went a variety places before Lili even learned how to walk, though their home territory was always Ul'dah and the Thanalans. Around the time Lili was just turning five, her parents decided to relocate to La Noscea and start maping and surveying the lush island terrain. While on the cargo ship to Limsa Lominsa, the Altairs discovered a tiny bundle that was wailing and screaming and covered in bloodied rags. A newborn Miqo'te child, still covered in the blood of labor pains, though with no mother in sight. No one on the ship knew where she came from, and eventually Lili's parents made her part of the family and named her Rahsha.

Time passed easily in La Noscea. Lili treasured little Rahsha as if she was a blood sister. The tail and ears were only a cute little addition Lili liked to play with. Around the time she was eight and Rahsha was barely three, a family moved in nearby from Ala Mhigo with a single child of their own. A dark skinned, blonde haired, red eyed little prankster of a boy named Ghislan Nightwing. He was immidiately taken with Lili, even as a young boy, and showed it in his typical fashion of flipping her skirts, pulling on her head, and throwing sand and mud balls at he face. This usually earned him retaliation of equal brutality by Lili, with assistance from little Rahsha while their parents looked on with affection and amusement.

The years passed without incident. The comings and goings of the outside world seemed far away from Lili. Her life consisted of her family and Ghislan, and it seemed to be all she needed. As Ghislan and Lili got older, they went from children to friends, and before long, they were fawning over one another in the typical girlish and boyish fashions. Shortly after Lili's fourteenth birthday gathering, their love for one another was too much to be contained (in their young eyes at least). Following their coupling, Lili realized she was pregnant, and the two quickly escaped into the night to find the closest Priestess of Menphina to bless a union between them. Their elopement was received with a measure of shock and surprise that was quickly welcomed by all, save for Rahsha. Feeling that her sister abandoned her, the little Miqo'te never quite outgrew such feelings.

And thus began the life of Mrs. Lilithium Nightwing.

=== 1559-1569 Lilithium Amal'thea Nightwing ===

The married life was one Lili slipped into with ease. Shortly after turning fifteen summers, she gave birth to Khavan Amadeus Nightwing, who looked more like his father then anything else. Despite being young, they were hard working with Lili spending the majority of her time as a house wife taking care of their son with the aide of both of their parents. While Rahsha was loving to a degree to Khavan, she was still distant with her sister. It was something that, while Lili mourned for the lack of emotion she got from her, she couldn't focus on too deeply and still provide the needed care for her family.

During the first few years of their marriage, Ghislan continued to grow. Taller and taller and taller, reaching well past the average height for a Highlander. While it certainly got attention in a crowd and delighted Lili as well, it caught the eye of a few mercenary groups who saw great potential. Soon, he was recruited and cycled through a few companies who paid well and the work was mostly geared towards training. It brought in enough profit that Lili and Ghislan built their family home from the ground up. A beautiful, pale stoned cottage melded with shells from the nearby shore.

Throwing a grand celebration with friends to honor the new homestead, everyone (even Lili) drank in good cheer. One man amoungst them, however, took advantage of the situation. A long time friend of the couples' who joined Ghislan as a healer in some of his fights and jobs, his poor health would be the death of him soon and they all knew it. Amore Silverlark was his name, and he was the only living member of his family. Determined to not leave this world without carrying out his family name, he guided a very intoxicated Lili to a back room to take advantage, and succeeded with getting her pregnant. Overcome by guilt, he confessed to Ghislan who nearly killed him on the spot were it not for Lili intervening. Barely able to let it pass, Ghislan agreed to curb his animosity while it was discussed on what to do. A few weeks later, Amore succumbed to his illness and passed away, leaving Lili and Ghislan with two choices: Keep the illegitimate children, or find a way to terminate the pregnancy.

Months later, Deisarameda and Sarameda Silverlark were born. In honor of Amore and Ghislan's more happy history together, they kept the surname and Ghislan raised them as his own. Sadly, they inherited their father's illness and were in poor health as children and even into their now adult life.

Shortly after the girls were born, Lili's parents died abruptly in a house fire. Mere days later, Rahsha disappeared with what little belongings she covered from the fire. To this day, Lili has rarely seen sight of her adopted sister and has heard rumors that she retreated to the Shroud to perhaps find clues to her true family.

The years passed without incident. Ghislan put aside his mercenary life to join the military efforts around La Noscea and even beyond. During one particular assignment he was doing freelance for the Immortal Flames, they were attacked by Garleans in which Ghislan was captured and taken away. There was never a body recovered, and Lili was wracked by grief for a number of years. Even with her children there as support, it slowly became accepted that Ghislan was likely dead and never returning. Her soulmate, the love of her life, the father of her children, was gone. There was no more to be done.

And so, life went on.

=== 1569/0-Present Calamity ===

Lili ended up retaking her maiden name of Altair a few years after Ghislan passed, not feeling right baring the name of her dead husband. The day of the Calamity, Lili and her three children visited the empty grave on a little cliff over looking the sea that was dedicated to Ghislan. All four watched in complete horror as the world around them was torn to bits and land and buildings became decimated. Thankfully, their home remained intact and they suffered no severe losses. Lili focused more on her alchemical talents to help locals and those in the cities while making a little extra money for herself and her family. Within the last two years, her children grew up into beautiful, capable young adults. All three starting to go their own ways to build their new lives. It left Lili in an interesting position: After almost two decades of being married, being widowed, raising children...she now had time to focus on herself. A thrilling but frightening prospect she still has difficulty comprehending to this day.

Lili spent the first few months trying to find hobbies. Interests. Even dabbling in the company of courtesans to appease some of the loneliness seeped into her heart. Money that Ghislan left behind in his passing was enough to sustain her day-to-day life, but she still felt empty. Unfulfilled. Without her soulmate, she began to wonder if she'd eventually die of a broken heart the way some songbirds did when their mates passed. During a trip out by Moraby, Lili came across a Miqo'te man named [[Kolhi'to Embhre]] who passed along a possible business proposition at his free company, Black Sun Trading. Intrigued, Lili followed through on the matter and found employment working for the Silverstars, Matthias and Althena. It gave her a new purpose and new motivation, and during that time she met and had a brief coupling with one of her coworkers named [[Togy Brandmakt]]. While things didn't last, it opened a door for her she never thought she'd try again: Dating.

Work for Lili in Black Sun was usually fairly slow, with the occasional incident breaking up the monotony of each daily routine. But the people were interesting, and many interesting occurrences happened in the Bismarck from laughter to violence. Later, it was announced that the trading company would become an academy (Black Sun Academy), and Lili became the school receptionist. She kept an eye when she could on some of the more naive members and prospective students, including a young woman named [[Mouse Wytchwood]]. Through an old lover, Lili learned of Mouse's mysterious nature and past and vowed to keep it quiet and continue to help watching the girl from afar. Her focus became the school, as well as finding ways to relieve herself of her loneliness. She took her alchemy back up again, as well as continued her parents' legacy and proficiency in botany.

More time passed with very little incident. For a period, Lili was surrounded by an influx of interested parties who wished to start relationships with her. Only one caught her interest in the end, a miqo'te man she met through Kolhi'to named [[Darturu Torlan]]. Charmed and taken in by his good manners, wit, and appearence, he soon became a regular part of her life. And soon, a significant other. Shortly after this her youngest daughter, Sarameda, became ill. Needing constant care and attention, Lili took an extended period of time to be with her daughter and away from the world. Including away from Darturu.

Shortly after Sara finally recovered, Lili heard everyone had relocated to Ul'dah to start up a new company with Kolhi'to as head of the organization. A mercenary group called the Blacktalon Vanguard, and Darturu was his partner. Lili relocated so as to help with the group, as well as be supportive of Dart. While the relationship with Darturu didn't last and they eventually parted ways, she still met many new people and still talks to quite a few even after she left the Vanguard to start her own group, the Free Wing Society. During this time she met a young lalachild named [[Adokenai Kodomo]], a resident tot at the Quicksand that seemed to be cared after by Momodi and the adventurers that inhabited the place. So taken by him, she decided to adopt the boy as her own and the announcement was made at the opening of the Pumpkin Cafe. There, she met two people: [[Rock Shattermountain]] and [[Sarial Hawke]], both of whom took a liking to the woman and her charms. They later joined the Society, along with others that Lili knew from Blacktalon and beyond.

Also during this time, she met a man named [[C'kayah Tia]] who supplied with her alchemical regents that she was having a hard time getting a hold of. The attraction between the two was almost instant, and at the end of the night Lili decided to give him a link to her personal pearl. Not expecting to hear from him for quite some time (if ever), Lili was surprised when he got a hold of her almost immediately afterwards. It set off a chain of interactions that sent them down an unexpectedly passionate path of emotions and intimacy that Lili never seemed able to push aside. Even though at the begining she was wary, he made her feel like she could take a chance. It led her to meeting even more people, like [[Kenthy Pennyfeather]] and [[Miah Polaali]], and eventually led to her and Kayah becoming mates. While their relationship was 'open' and unconventional, she also took in a lover named [[Kaiten Skyborn]] while C'kayah took in his own interests.

The Society continued to thrive, though some of her friendships suffered as a product of her relationship with C'kayah. Her long standing friendship with [[T'shina Vashka]] and [[Tenha'a Rendha]] being the primary ones, as their dislike of C'kayah and vehemence against Lili being with him led to them recently leaving the Society. While this happened, Lili remained firm in her decision to spend her future with the male. Life continued to change, and still does to this day. Most recently she and C'kayah have become engaged, she has offered her and the Society's aid in the Doman refugee matters, and continues raising and caring after Ado.

'''Currently''': Lili remains working, balancing a home and professional life as best as she's able. She's usually found in Ul'dah or her company house, managing her employees or organizing relations and jobs. More often then not her time is work related save for those rare moments where she spends time quietly with her fiance, a friend, or a lover. Much of her business affairs seem to revolve around a few of her members that require 'special' care due to their natures or conditions both aetherical and non.

:-Lili is very kind and affectionate to most people she meets. That doesn't necessarily mean she's flirting with you. 
:-I tend to ignore or shut down individuals who get upset OOC about not being romantically involved with Lili and/or not getting the oppurtunity. She didn't pick you so there's probably a reason. Get over it. 
:-I'm very nice OOC so don't hesitate to approach for random RP, ideas, or if you want to know more about the Society!

=== General ===

'''Lilithium Altair (Lil-ith-ium Ah-l-tair) '''is a older Hyur midlander who is often seen in and around Ul'dah and various other parts of Eorzea. Her maternal nature and affectionate disposition leaves her well liked by most who come across her. Widowed three years before the Calamity and with her three children all grown and out of the house as of roughly a year ago, Lili finds that she's able to focus on herself and her own happiness for the first time since her teens. It's left her with many doorways of oppurtunity to choose from, some full of light and adventure while others harbor a darker purpose...

Recently, she has become the owner of a staffing company known as the Free Wing Society and adopted a little boy named Adokenai. On top of that, she has opened her heart that led to avenues she never dared dream were possible. She currently has a mate/fiance (C'kayah Tia), and has been pursuing various interests that range from people to books to trying her hand at the aetheric arts.

'''Note: Lili is able to see the aether of various individuals she meets. They manifest as light and colors, and I will sometimes whisper people OOC to determine what their aether is like so Lili can react or adjust accordingly.'''

=== Appearance ===

[[File:LiliSelf.png|none|LiliSelf.png]]

Standing at 5 fulm and 4 ilm, Lili is used to seeing the world from the shorter side of things. She used to wear her pale blonde hair long and nearly to her elbows, but almost two moons ago she chopped it rather short. Recently, she's grown it out again. Her eyes are very light green with a silvery cast to the color to give it an odd shimmering quality. While her features deceive others of her true age, she bares what marks she has with pride: Some crows feet at the corner of her eyes that show when she laughs, and similar lines at the corner of her lips that only start to show when she is smiling broadly. Having bared three children (two of which were twins), she was left with rather shapely hips and added curves that she had not possessed in her youth. One of the physical features most noticed by some who meet Lili is her rather large bust despite her small size. It usually causes her a myriad of problems, as some of her shorter Miqo'te friends and Lalafell companions sometimes get suffocated when she hugs them. The rest of her is well toned from the muscle and strenght it takes to wield her axe and fist weapons, and sunkissed from her years by the shores of Limsa or the sands of Ul'dah. Around her neck is a long chain with little silver fingerbells attached to it, and on her ring finger looks to be a wedding or engagement ring of some kind.

=== Behavior ===

Having gotten pregnant at fourteen and raising or looking after her children and those of others left Lili with a maternal nature that has been driven down to the core of her very being. She tends to look out for those around her, especially those that she feels a soft spot for, or those around her children's age (teens to early twenties range). Though this maternal drive of hers doesn't make her a pushover in the least, as it is possible to ignite her ire with the right buttons being pushed. Over all, she's calm and even tempered and usually the voice of reason for those around her. Ever one to play devil's advocate.

== Combat ==

=== General ===

Lili hasn't had much of a need to show her skills publically, but in the few times she's sparred with friends she's shown a great aptitude for a martial arts style of combat. Her fists, being her primary weapon, are usually not the thing to worry about. They sometimes serve as a mere distraction for her rather powerful legs to catch someone off guard. When she does happen to use her axe, it's an interesting sight since some of the weaponry are almost as big as she is. Yet she yields them with ease, using all her force with each blow. She fights with a certain level of honor, though if the situation should call for it she won't be afraid to play dirty.

=== Family ===

●Ghislan Nightwing (deceased): Lili's late husband who went MIA during an assignment against the Garleans. After no body being found over the last near decade he's been gone, everyone has safely assumed he is dead and Lili no longer mourns her first and only true love. He was also of Ala Mhigan descent and large for a Highlander (7 fulms).

''●''[[Adokenai Kodomo]]: A young Lalachild who Lili met at the Quicksand one day. Since meeting, Lili had adopted the little boy as her own. He even calls her 'Mom' regularly, and comes running to her whenever he sees her. Usually when seen together, the little boy is being held by his new mother or playing around some where near by.

''●''Khavan Nightwing: Lili's oldest child and oldest son. At nineteen years of age, nearing twenty, Khavan is engaged to a male elezen and usually bothers Lili for wedding preperation.

''●''Sarameda Silverlark: Youngest twin daughter of Lilithium Altair and Amore Silverlark.

''●''Deisarameda Silverlark: Oldest twin daughter of Lilithium Altair and Amore Silverlark.

●Rahsha Altair: A Sunseeker miqo'te that Lili's parents found when Lili was only five. Abandoned on a supply ship, no one knows her tribal origin and could never relocate birth parents. Rahsha and Lili grew apart after Lili left home, and now the two rarely see one another.

''●''Andromeda and Reiko Altair (deceased): Lili's parents died shortly after the twins were born in a simple but tragic fire. Both were botanists who were unmatched in their knowledge of the land and its bountiful treasures.

=== Other Relationships ===

''●''[[Aedan Mathis]]: On her way to gather herbs in the Sylphlands, she came across a Hyur slumped over his faithful chocobo. Bloodied and unconscious, Lili took him to the nearby Sanctum of the Twelve and managed to save his life. While the two aren't in close contact, she sees him sporadically and keep in the back of her mind his offer to look after her children as a way of thanks for her helping him.

''●''[[Aya Foxheart]]: The Quicksand's favorite barmaid, Lili worked alongside C'kayah to help Aya with some personal problems, and offered the woman multiple safe places to hide away at should she had needed it. Afterwards, she hasn't seen much of her, though that hasn't stopped the affection she began to feel towards the woman.

''♥●''[[Azeiox Nelles]]: An elezen Lili met one day at the Quicksand who always seems to be looking out for her son and letting him right on his shoulder without batting an eye. Intimidating at first, she later found his more quiet nature to be comforting and enjoys spending time with him when she can. The nature of their relationship to outsiders appears friendly, though if there is anything else going on they certainly don't show it. In private they made the decision to become lovers, and developments are still very fresh and new between them. The time they have spent together is very few and far between, but it seems to fit Lili just fine.

●[[Chokho Viqqoh]]: A Keeper woman Lili met at the fishfry event the Society put on, she flirted rather heavily with Lili and even poured a cup of water on her to see her wet in her bikkini. They met up later when they found out they were neighbors, and have started a comfortable friendship. Chokho has made her attraction known, and Lili returned the sentiment. Their lives keep them busy and often apart, though they make time to spend with one another when they can. With the passage of weeks Lili's affections have softened, though she still wonders how the miqo'te woman is doing.

''♥●''[[C'kayah Tia]]: A Miqo'te who once supplied Lili with alchemical materials she was having a hard time acquiring, he was smitten with her from the start and she rejected his advances over and over again. Instead, teasing him with playful retorts and equally playful skepticism. They ended up being around one another off and on as time went on, and over time Lili came to see that his feelings and gestures were indeed sincere and affectionate by his repeat efforts to prove such. Since asking her to be his mate, and she in turn asking him to marry her, the two have been through great obstacles that have made them stronger then ever. When seen together, Lili couldn't be happier.

''●''[[Darturu Torlan]]: Darturu and Lili were once mated, but his co-creation of the Blacktalon Vanguard made balancing work and a relationship difficult. The two eventually decided to part ways, still caring for one another, but now left to their own devices. As time has passed and seeing less and less of him, her feelings had softened to the point where romance is no longer something she entertains with the Miqo'te. They have not seen one another since she left the Vanguard, and she seems to have no desire to change that.

''●''[[Dheina Tayuun]]: A young Miqo'te she met when coming back to Ul'dah via her previous mate, Darturu. They keep in touch sporadically, and have a pleasent friendship.

♥●[[Graeldelon Bloodrage]]: One of the newer members of the Society, Lili doesn't know the young man very well. However she can occasionally be caught looking at him with a faint and curious little smile as well as fussing over recent wounds he suffered as part of a training exercise.

''●''●[[Kagewoe Erasus]]: Fiance of Nymira's, Kage is also one of her officers. While she is not close to the male, she is confident in his abilities to help her and Nym keep everyone in line and together. Recent events with the Society have the two walking on thin ice around one another and generally not around one another.

''●''[[Kal Numara]]: A Highlander woman who is also a friend of Lili's. Usually teasing her, and constantly referring to her as 'Mama' or 'Mama Lili'. Such teasings are usually met with Lili retaliating (playfully so).

[[Kenthy Pennyfeather|''●''Kenthy Pennyfeather]]: A miqo'te Lili met through her interractions with C'kayah and the Morbolvines, she's grown a light friendship with the woman, as well as quite a bit of respect due to the help that was given to her during her experience in the form of a Moonkeeper. Despite her sassy and slightly abrasive nature, Lili finds her pleasent. During a series of discussions involving Kenthy and C'kayah's desire to add intimacy to their current relationship, Kenthy lashed out at Lili in a way that had her feeling almost hostile towards the woman. Later on, the two women managed to patch things up and Lili gave Kenthy her blessing to be involved with C'kayah. She doesn't see the redhead regular, but should one ask she considers her a friend.

''♥●''[[Kaiten Skyborn]]: Lili and this hyur were involved for an extended period as lovers and friends. Due to less and less time spent together and Lili's recent engagement to C'kayah, the two had drifted apart and Kaiten soon disappeared from her life completely. Without warning, he came to her office one night with vows of love and how much he had missed her. Revealing that falling in love with another woman helped him better understand how she could love him and C'kayah both in her own ways and at the same time, it helped with their reconciliation and the slow process of coming together once more.

''●''[[Kaohastraal Aeseroix]]:A very large roe man that was introduced to Lili via T'shina at the fish fry event. His Garlean name took her aback at first, but when they started talking he eased her mind and explained some of his story. He's admitted to having an interest in her on many levels, and they've agreed to simply get to know one another. Though it's hard to know what Lili is thinking when they're seen together. As of late, she's started helping him with a number of private matters regarding his 'health'.

''●''[[Katiti Kati]]: Lili met this Lalafell around the time she met Ado, who served alongside Toff as one of the Lalachild's unofficial guardians. She eventually joined the Society, being hired as Ado's official teacher. Lili trusts her judgement, but worries with how much she stresses over things all the time.

[[Kolhi'to Embhre|''●''Kolhi'to Embhre]]: Creator of the Blacktalon Vanguard and Lili's former employer, Lili has known Kol for quite some time. However, they seem neither friendly nor hostile. Instead only polite when meeting or speaking in passing. More often then not Kol's grumpy attitude tends to irk Lili even if she may not always show it.

''●''[[Leon Maxwell]]: A young boy Lili met through Tenha'a, she's done her best to look out for his well being and educate him on matters he inquires about, such as love. Knowing a few tidbits about his current health and situation, she's been doing some research into what can possibly be done to help him. Between her work in the Society and his involvements in other matters, assisting him hasn't been as large of a priority. Recently, she learned that he found a cure which brought her happiness to know that perhaps now he could live a long and healthy life.

♥●[[Locke Rinannis]]: She had seen this man when he was around one of the free company houses next to Blacktalon, though never spoke to him or approached him. Later, she heard he was looking for work and offered him a job at the Society. He's one of her most quiet employees, and as a result she actively tries to drag him around the others and be social. His polite demeanor and timidity charms her, and she finds him rather attractive though she values him as a friend and workmate moreso then anything.

''●''[[Mouse Wytchwood]]: A miqo'te girl with odd origins and green hair, Lili has always regarded the girl with motherly concern and attention. From watching her from afar or explaining terms and concepts she does not easily grasp or helping with her hair. She knows enough of Mouse's backstory to keep her eye on the girl when she's able to, and to try and guide harm out of her way.

''●''[[Nymira Valeroyant]]: One of the members of the Society and its' main healer, Nym is not only a good friend of Lili's but also one of her officers to help keep the Society running smoothly.

''●''[[Rock Shattermountain]]: A Highlander Lili has recently met when helping with the Pumpkin Cafe opening night. He also is a friend of her adopted son, Ado. After a night out together, he confessed to feelings of a more romantic nature, and the two have been slowly getting to know one another from there. He is also the one that gave her a little pet fawn whom she affectionately calls Dot. As their interractions have progressed, as well as his hints and confessions to seeing Lili as a prospective wife, it left her flattered by his intense emotions. While she still cares for him, they have drifted into more of a close friendship.

●[[Tendha'a Rendha]]: A male Miqo'te whom Lili met shortly after the creation of the Vanguard. The two quickly became friends and confidants, and he is the mate of T'shina Vashka. Since Lili and C'kayah started seeing one another, neither of the two have spoken much and he never said a word when he officially left the Society with T'shina and a few others.

''●''●[[Toff Vaughn]]: One of Ado's original guardians, Lili went to Toff and Katiti before she formally adopted Ado. While she respects the man, his childish bouts of attitude test the limits of her temper, including with how he has grown the habit lately of flirting with taken women. Whether he seems to know they're taken or not.

''●''●[[Togy Brandmakt]]: A previous lover, the two seperated due to Togy's wanderings and traveling keeping them apart moreso then together. While not on bad terms, his unstable nature and her mixed responses to his off days makes their interractions a hit-or-miss.

●[[T'shina Vashka]]: A young woman Lili regards as a friend, the recent interractions Lili has had with C'kayah has strained their relationship. Afterwards, the two didn't speak for a while and had one rather large argument that Tenha'a even became part that drove Lili away emotionally. Things never fully recovered after that, and when finding out that Lili and C'kayah were still together, she resigned from the Society.

●[[U'zhan Tia]]: A Miqo'te that Lili met due to his associations with T'shina, he asked Lili to go adventuring with him. Shortly afterwards, he stopped speaking with her. Having gotten the impression he was very much like the womanizing 'Nunh' types he claimed to dislike so much, Lili has had very little desire to rekindle a friendship. With his mating to one of her employees, Liandri, she is slowly getting more accustomed to seeing the man hanging around the Society grounds.

== History/Timeline ==

=== 1544-1559 Childhood/adolescence ===

Born an only child, Lili had a comfortable life with her parents living in Ul'dah. Taking frequent trips to the countryside and the desert to look for new herbs and roots and other things that were in demand or that her parents needed to discover. They met a variety of people and went a variety places before Lili even learned how to walk, though their home territory was always Ul'dah and the Thanalans. Around the time Lili was just turning five, her parents decided to relocate to La Noscea and start maping and surveying the lush island terrain. While on the cargo ship to Limsa Lominsa, the Altairs discovered a tiny bundle that was wailing and screaming and covered in bloodied rags. A newborn Miqo'te child, still covered in the blood of labor pains, though with no mother in sight. No one on the ship knew where she came from, and eventually Lili's parents made her part of the family and named her Rahsha.

Time passed easily in La Noscea. Lili treasured little Rahsha as if she was a blood sister. The tail and ears were only a cute little addition Lili liked to play with. Around the time she was eight and Rahsha was barely three, a family moved in nearby from Ala Mhigo with a single child of their own. A dark skinned, blonde haired, red eyed little prankster of a boy named Ghislan Nightwing. He was immidiately taken with Lili, even as a young boy, and showed it in his typical fashion of flipping her skirts, pulling on her head, and throwing sand and mud balls at he face. This usually earned him retaliation of equal brutality by Lili, with assistance from little Rahsha while their parents looked on with affection and amusement.

The years passed without incident. The comings and goings of the outside world seemed far away from Lili. Her life consisted of her family and Ghislan, and it seemed to be all she needed. As Ghislan and Lili got older, they went from children to friends, and before long, they were fawning over one another in the typical girlish and boyish fashions. Shortly after Lili's fourteenth birthday gathering, their love for one another was too much to be contained (in their young eyes at least). Following their coupling, Lili realized she was pregnant, and the two quickly escaped into the night to find the closest Priestess of Menphina to bless a union between them. Their elopement was received with a measure of shock and surprise that was quickly welcomed by all, save for Rahsha. Feeling that her sister abandoned her, the little Miqo'te never quite outgrew such feelings.

And thus began the life of Mrs. Lilithium Nightwing.

=== 1559-1569 Lilithium Amal'thea Nightwing ===

The married life was one Lili slipped into with ease. Shortly after turning fifteen summers, she gave birth to Khavan Amadeus Nightwing, who looked more like his father then anything else. Despite being young, they were hard working with Lili spending the majority of her time as a house wife taking care of their son with the aide of both of their parents. While Rahsha was loving to a degree to Khavan, she was still distant with her sister. It was something that, while Lili mourned for the lack of emotion she got from her, she couldn't focus on too deeply and still provide the needed care for her family.

During the first few years of their marriage, Ghislan continued to grow. Taller and taller and taller, reaching well past the average height for a Highlander. While it certainly got attention in a crowd and delighted Lili as well, it caught the eye of a few mercenary groups who saw great potential. Soon, he was recruited and cycled through a few companies who paid well and the work was mostly geared towards training. It brought in enough profit that Lili and Ghislan built their family home from the ground up. A beautiful, pale stoned cottage melded with shells from the nearby shore.

Throwing a grand celebration with friends to honor the new homestead, everyone (even Lili) drank in good cheer. One man amoungst them, however, took advantage of the situation. A long time friend of the couples' who joined Ghislan as a healer in some of his fights and jobs, his poor health would be the death of him soon and they all knew it. Amore Silverlark was his name, and he was the only living member of his family. Determined to not leave this world without carrying out his family name, he guided a very intoxicated Lili to a back room to take advantage, and succeeded with getting her pregnant. Overcome by guilt, he confessed to Ghislan who nearly killed him on the spot were it not for Lili intervening. Barely able to let it pass, Ghislan agreed to curb his animosity while it was discussed on what to do. A few weeks later, Amore succumbed to his illness and passed away, leaving Lili and Ghislan with two choices: Keep the illegitimate children, or find a way to terminate the pregnancy.

Months later, Deisarameda and Sarameda Silverlark were born. In honor of Amore and Ghislan's more happy history together, they kept the surname and Ghislan raised them as his own. Sadly, they inherited their father's illness and were in poor health as children and even into their now adult life.

Shortly after the girls were born, Lili's parents died abruptly in a house fire. Mere days later, Rahsha disappeared with what little belongings she covered from the fire. To this day, Lili has rarely seen sight of her adopted sister and has heard rumors that she retreated to the Shroud to perhaps find clues to her true family.

The years passed without incident. Ghislan put aside his mercenary life to join the military efforts around La Noscea and even beyond. During one particular assignment he was doing freelance for the Immortal Flames, they were attacked by Garleans in which Ghislan was captured and taken away. There was never a body recovered, and Lili was wracked by grief for a number of years. Even with her children there as support, it slowly became accepted that Ghislan was likely dead and never returning. Her soulmate, the love of her life, the father of her children, was gone. There was no more to be done.

And so, life went on.

=== 1569/0-Present Calamity ===

Lili ended up retaking her maiden name of Altair a few years after Ghislan passed, not feeling right baring the name of her dead husband. The day of the Calamity, Lili and her three children visited the empty grave on a little cliff over looking the sea that was dedicated to Ghislan. All four watched in complete horror as the world around them was torn to bits and land and buildings became decimated. Thankfully, their home remained intact and they suffered no severe losses. Lili focused more on her alchemical talents to help locals and those in the cities while making a little extra money for herself and her family. Within the last two years, her children grew up into beautiful, capable young adults. All three starting to go their own ways to build their new lives. It left Lili in an interesting position: After almost two decades of being married, being widowed, raising children...she now had time to focus on herself. A thrilling but frightening prospect she still has difficulty comprehending to this day.

Lili spent the first few months trying to find hobbies. Interests. Even dabbling in the company of courtesans to appease some of the loneliness seeped into her heart. Money that Ghislan left behind in his passing was enough to sustain her day-to-day life, but she still felt empty. Unfulfilled. Without her soulmate, she began to wonder if she'd eventually die of a broken heart the way some songbirds did when their mates passed. During a trip out by Moraby, Lili came across a Miqo'te man named [[Kolhi'to Embhre]] who passed along a possible business proposition at his free company, Black Sun Trading. Intrigued, Lili followed through on the matter and found employment working for the Silverstars, Matthias and Althena. It gave her a new purpose and new motivation, and during that time she met and had a brief coupling with one of her coworkers named [[Togy Brandmakt]]. While things didn't last, it opened a door for her she never thought she'd try again: Dating.

Work for Lili in Black Sun was usually fairly slow, with the occasional incident breaking up the monotony of each daily routine. But the people were interesting, and many interesting occurrences happened in the Bismarck from laughter to violence. Later, it was announced that the trading company would become an academy (Black Sun Academy), and Lili became the school receptionist. She kept an eye when she could on some of the more naive members and prospective students, including a young woman named [[Mouse Wytchwood]]. Through an old lover, Lili learned of Mouse's mysterious nature and past and vowed to keep it quiet and continue to help watching the girl from afar. Her focus became the school, as well as finding ways to relieve herself of her loneliness. She took her alchemy back up again, as well as continued her parents' legacy and proficiency in botany.

More time passed with very little incident. For a period, Lili was surrounded by an influx of interested parties who wished to start relationships with her. Only one caught her interest in the end, a miqo'te man she met through Kolhi'to named [[Darturu Torlan]]. Charmed and taken in by his good manners, wit, and appearence, he soon became a regular part of her life. And soon, a significant other. Shortly after this her youngest daughter, Sarameda, became ill. Needing constant care and attention, Lili took an extended period of time to be with her daughter and away from the world. Including away from Darturu.

Shortly after Sara finally recovered, Lili heard everyone had relocated to Ul'dah to start up a new company with Kolhi'to as head of the organization. A mercenary group called the Blacktalon Vanguard, and Darturu was his partner. Lili relocated so as to help with the group, as well as be supportive of Dart. While the relationship with Darturu didn't last and they eventually parted ways, she still met many new people and still talks to quite a few even after she left the Vanguard to start her own group, the Free Wing Society. During this time she met a young lalachild named [[Adokenai Kodomo]], a resident tot at the Quicksand that seemed to be cared after by Momodi and the adventurers that inhabited the place. So taken by him, she decided to adopt the boy as her own and the announcement was made at the opening of the Pumpkin Cafe. There, she met two people: [[Rock Shattermountain]] and [[Sarial Hawke]], both of whom took a liking to the woman and her charms. They later joined the Society, along with others that Lili knew from Blacktalon and beyond.

Also during this time, she met a man named [[C'kayah Tia]] who supplied with her alchemical regents that she was having a hard time getting a hold of. The attraction between the two was almost instant, and at the end of the night Lili decided to give him a link to her personal pearl. Not expecting to hear from him for quite some time (if ever), Lili was surprised when he got a hold of her almost immediately afterwards. It set off a chain of interactions that sent them down an unexpectedly passionate path of emotions and intimacy that Lili never seemed able to push aside. Even though at the begining she was wary, he made her feel like she could take a chance. It led her to meeting even more people, like [[Kenthy Pennyfeather]] and [[Miah Polaali]], and eventually led to her and Kayah becoming mates. While their relationship was 'open' and unconventional, she also took in a lover named [[Kaiten Skyborn]] while C'kayah took in his own interests.

The Society continued to thrive, though some of her friendships suffered as a product of her relationship with C'kayah. Her long standing friendship with [[T'shina Vashka]] and [[Tenha'a Rendha]] being the primary ones, as their dislike of C'kayah and vehemence against Lili being with him led to them recently leaving the Society. While this happened, Lili remained firm in her decision to spend her future with the male. Life continued to change, and still does to this day. Most recently she and C'kayah have become engaged, she has offered her and the Society's aid in the Doman refugee matters, and continues raising and caring after Ado.

'''Currently''': Lili remains working, balancing a home and professional life as best as she's able. She's usually found in Ul'dah or her company house, managing her employees or organizing relations and jobs. More often then not her time is work related save for those rare moments where she spends time quietly with her fiance, a friend, or a lover. Much of her business affairs seem to revolve around a few of her members that require 'special' care due to their natures or conditions both aetherical and non.

:-Lili is very kind and affectionate to most people she meets. That doesn't necessarily mean she's flirting with you. 
:-I tend to ignore or shut down individuals who get upset OOC about not being romantically involved with Lili and/or not getting the oppurtunity. She didn't pick you so there's probably a reason. Get over it. 
:-I'm very nice OOC so don't hesitate to approach for random RP, ideas, or if you want to know more about the Society!

=== General ===

'''Lilithium Altair (Lil-ith-ium Ah-l-tair) '''is a older Hyur midlander who is often seen in and around Ul'dah and various other parts of Eorzea. Her maternal nature and affectionate disposition leaves her well liked by most who come across her. Widowed three years before the Calamity and with her three children all grown and out of the house as of roughly a year ago, Lili finds that she's able to focus on herself and her own happiness for the first time since her teens. It's left her with many doorways of oppurtunity to choose from, some full of light and adventure while others harbor a darker purpose...

Recently, she has become the owner of a staffing company known as the Free Wing Society and adopted a little boy named Adokenai. On top of that, she has opened her heart that led to avenues she never dared dream were possible. She currently has a mate/fiance (C'kayah Tia), and has been pursuing various interests that range from people to books to trying her hand at the aetheric arts.

'''Note: Lili is able to see the aether of various individuals she meets. They manifest as light and colors, and I will sometimes whisper people OOC to determine what their aether is like so Lili can react or adjust accordingly.'''

=== Appearance ===

[[File:LiliSelf.png|none|LiliSelf.png]]

Standing at 5 fulm and 4 ilm, Lili is used to seeing the world from the shorter side of things. She used to wear her pale blonde hair long and nearly to her elbows, but almost two moons ago she chopped it rather short. Recently, she's grown it out again. Her eyes are very light green with a silvery cast to the color to give it an odd shimmering quality. While her features deceive others of her true age, she bares what marks she has with pride: Some crows feet at the corner of her eyes that show when she laughs, and similar lines at the corner of her lips that only start to show when she is smiling broadly. Having bared three children (two of which were twins), she was left with rather shapely hips and added curves that she had not possessed in her youth. One of the physical features most noticed by some who meet Lili is her rather large bust despite her small size. It usually causes her a myriad of problems, as some of her shorter Miqo'te friends and Lalafell companions sometimes get suffocated when she hugs them. The rest of her is well toned from the muscle and strenght it takes to wield her axe and fist weapons, and sunkissed from her years by the shores of Limsa or the sands of Ul'dah. Around her neck is a long chain with little silver fingerbells attached to it, and on her ring finger looks to be a wedding or engagement ring of some kind.

=== Behavior ===

Having gotten pregnant at fourteen and raising or looking after her children and those of others left Lili with a maternal nature that has been driven down to the core of her very being. She tends to look out for those around her, especially those that she feels a soft spot for, or those around her children's age (teens to early twenties range). Though this maternal drive of hers doesn't make her a pushover in the least, as it is possible to ignite her ire with the right buttons being pushed. Over all, she's calm and even tempered and usually the voice of reason for those around her. Ever one to play devil's advocate.

== Combat ==

=== General ===

Lili hasn't had much of a need to show her skills publically, but in the few times she's sparred with friends she's shown a great aptitude for a martial arts style of combat. Her fists, being her primary weapon, are usually not the thing to worry about. They sometimes serve as a mere distraction for her rather powerful legs to catch someone off guard. When she does happen to use her axe, it's an interesting sight since some of the weaponry are almost as big as she is. Yet she yields them with ease, using all her force with each blow. She fights with a certain level of honor, though if the situation should call for it she won't be afraid to play dirty.

== Tendencies ==

[[File:LiliandAdo3.png]]

Always one for trying and learning new things, Lili spends much of her idle time active in one way or another. If she's not relaxing in the Quicksand or the occasional visit to the Drowning Wench, she'll be home or out and about doing some kind of activity or socializing.

=== Family ===

●Ghislan Nightwing (deceased): Lili's late husband who went MIA during an assignment against the Garleans. After no body being found over the last near decade he's been gone, everyone has safely assumed he is dead and Lili no longer mourns her first and only true love. He was also of Ala Mhigan descent and large for a Highlander (7 fulms).

''●''[[Adokenai Kodomo]]: A young Lalachild who Lili met at the Quicksand one day. Since meeting, Lili had adopted the little boy as her own. He even calls her 'Mom' regularly, and comes running to her whenever he sees her. Usually when seen together, the little boy is being held by his new mother or playing around some where near by.

''●''Khavan Nightwing: Lili's oldest child and oldest son. At nineteen years of age, nearing twenty, Khavan is engaged to a male elezen and usually bothers Lili for wedding preperation.

''●''Sarameda Silverlark: Youngest twin daughter of Lilithium Altair and Amore Silverlark.

''●''Deisarameda Silverlark: Oldest twin daughter of Lilithium Altair and Amore Silverlark.

●Rahsha Altair: A Sunseeker miqo'te that Lili's parents found when Lili was only five. Abandoned on a supply ship, no one knows her tribal origin and could never relocate birth parents. Rahsha and Lili grew apart after Lili left home, and now the two rarely see one another.

''●''Andromeda and Reiko Altair (deceased): Lili's parents died shortly after the twins were born in a simple but tragic fire. Both were botanists who were unmatched in their knowledge of the land and its bountiful treasures.

=== Other Relationships ===

''●''[[Aedan Mathis]]: On her way to gather herbs in the Sylphlands, she came across a Hyur slumped over his faithful chocobo. Bloodied and unconscious, Lili took him to the nearby Sanctum of the Twelve and managed to save his life. While the two aren't in close contact, she sees him sporadically and keep in the back of her mind his offer to look after her children as a way of thanks for her helping him.

''●''[[Aya Foxheart]]: The Quicksand's favorite barmaid, Lili worked alongside C'kayah to help Aya with some personal problems, and offered the woman multiple safe places to hide away at should she had needed it. Afterwards, she hasn't seen much of her, though that hasn't stopped the affection she began to feel towards the woman.

''♥●''[[Azeiox Nelles]]: An elezen Lili met one day at the Quicksand who always seems to be looking out for her son and letting him right on his shoulder without batting an eye. Intimidating at first, she later found his more quiet nature to be comforting and enjoys spending time with him when she can. The nature of their relationship to outsiders appears friendly, though if there is anything else going on they certainly don't show it. In private they made the decision to become lovers, and developments are still very fresh and new between them. The time they have spent together is very few and far between, but it seems to fit Lili just fine.

●[[Chokho Viqqoh]]: A Keeper woman Lili met at the fishfry event the Society put on, she flirted rather heavily with Lili and even poured a cup of water on her to see her wet in her bikkini. They met up later when they found out they were neighbors, and have started a comfortable friendship. Chokho has made her attraction known, and Lili returned the sentiment. Their lives keep them busy and often apart, though they make time to spend with one another when they can. With the passage of weeks Lili's affections have softened, though she still wonders how the miqo'te woman is doing.

''♥●''[[C'kayah Tia]]: A Miqo'te who once supplied Lili with alchemical materials she was having a hard time acquiring, he was smitten with her from the start and she rejected his advances over and over again. Instead, teasing him with playful retorts and equally playful skepticism. They ended up being around one another off and on as time went on, and over time Lili came to see that his feelings and gestures were indeed sincere and affectionate by his repeat efforts to prove such. Since asking her to be his mate, and she in turn asking him to marry her, the two have been through great obstacles that have made them stronger then ever. When seen together, Lili couldn't be happier.

''●''[[Darturu Torlan]]: Darturu and Lili were once mated, but his co-creation of the Blacktalon Vanguard made balancing work and a relationship difficult. The two eventually decided to part ways, still caring for one another, but now left to their own devices. As time has passed and seeing less and less of him, her feelings had softened to the point where romance is no longer something she entertains with the Miqo'te. They have not seen one another since she left the Vanguard, and she seems to have no desire to change that.

''●''[[Dheina Tayuun]]: A young Miqo'te she met when coming back to Ul'dah via her previous mate, Darturu. They keep in touch sporadically, and have a pleasent friendship.

♥●[[Graeldelon Bloodrage]]: One of the newer members of the Society, Lili doesn't know the young man very well. However she can occasionally be caught looking at him with a faint and curious little smile as well as fussing over recent wounds he suffered as part of a training exercise.

''●''●[[Kagewoe Erasus]]: Fiance of Nymira's, Kage is also one of her officers. While she is not close to the male, she is confident in his abilities to help her and Nym keep everyone in line and together. Recent events with the Society have the two walking on thin ice around one another and generally not around one another.

''●''[[Kal Numara]]: A Highlander woman who is also a friend of Lili's. Usually teasing her, and constantly referring to her as 'Mama' or 'Mama Lili'. Such teasings are usually met with Lili retaliating (playfully so).

[[Kenthy Pennyfeather|''●''Kenthy Pennyfeather]]: A miqo'te Lili met through her interractions with C'kayah and the Morbolvines, she's grown a light friendship with the woman, as well as quite a bit of respect due to the help that was given to her during her experience in the form of a Moonkeeper. Despite her sassy and slightly abrasive nature, Lili finds her pleasent. During a series of discussions involving Kenthy and C'kayah's desire to add intimacy to their current relationship, Kenthy lashed out at Lili in a way that had her feeling almost hostile towards the woman. Later on, the two women managed to patch things up and Lili gave Kenthy her blessing to be involved with C'kayah. She doesn't see the redhead regular, but should one ask she considers her a friend.

''♥●''[[Kaiten Skyborn]]: Lili and this hyur were involved for an extended period as lovers and friends. Due to less and less time spent together and Lili's recent engagement to C'kayah, the two had drifted apart and Kaiten soon disappeared from her life completely. Without warning, he came to her office one night with vows of love and how much he had missed her. Revealing that falling in love with another woman helped him better understand how she could love him and C'kayah both in her own ways and at the same time, it helped with their reconciliation and the slow process of coming together once more.

''●''[[Kaohastraal Aeseroix]]:A very large roe man that was introduced to Lili via T'shina at the fish fry event. His Garlean name took her aback at first, but when they started talking he eased her mind and explained some of his story. He's admitted to having an interest in her on many levels, and they've agreed to simply get to know one another. Though it's hard to know what Lili is thinking when they're seen together. As of late, she's started helping him with a number of private matters regarding his 'health'.

''●''[[Katiti Kati]]: Lili met this Lalafell around the time she met Ado, who served alongside Toff as one of the Lalachild's unofficial guardians. She eventually joined the Society, being hired as Ado's official teacher. Lili trusts her judgement, but worries with how much she stresses over things all the time.

[[Kolhi'to Embhre|''●''Kolhi'to Embhre]]: Creator of the Blacktalon Vanguard and Lili's former employer, Lili has known Kol for quite some time. However, they seem neither friendly nor hostile. Instead only polite when meeting or speaking in passing. More often then not Kol's grumpy attitude tends to irk Lili even if she may not always show it.

''●''[[Leon Maxwell]]: A young boy Lili met through Tenha'a, she's done her best to look out for his well being and educate him on matters he inquires about, such as love. Knowing a few tidbits about his current health and situation, she's been doing some research into what can possibly be done to help him. Between her work in the Society and his involvements in other matters, assisting him hasn't been as large of a priority. Recently, she learned that he found a cure which brought her happiness to know that perhaps now he could live a long and healthy life.

♥●[[Locke Rinannis]]: She had seen this man when he was around one of the free company houses next to Blacktalon, though never spoke to him or approached him. Later, she heard he was looking for work and offered him a job at the Society. He's one of her most quiet employees, and as a result she actively tries to drag him around the others and be social. His polite demeanor and timidity charms her, and she finds him rather attractive though she values him as a friend and workmate moreso then anything.

''●''[[Mouse Wytchwood]]: A miqo'te girl with odd origins and green hair, Lili has always regarded the girl with motherly concern and attention. From watching her from afar or explaining terms and concepts she does not easily grasp or helping with her hair. She knows enough of Mouse's backstory to keep her eye on the girl when she's able to, and to try and guide harm out of her way.

''●''[[Nymira Valeroyant]]: One of the members of the Society and its' main healer, Nym is not only a good friend of Lili's but also one of her officers to help keep the Society running smoothly.

''●''[[Rock Shattermountain]]: A Highlander Lili has recently met when helping with the Pumpkin Cafe opening night. He also is a friend of her adopted son, Ado. After a night out together, he confessed to feelings of a more romantic nature, and the two have been slowly getting to know one another from there. He is also the one that gave her a little pet fawn whom she affectionately calls Dot. As their interractions have progressed, as well as his hints and confessions to seeing Lili as a prospective wife, it left her flattered by his intense emotions. While she still cares for him, they have drifted into more of a close friendship.

●[[Tendha'a Rendha]]: A male Miqo'te whom Lili met shortly after the creation of the Vanguard. The two quickly became friends and confidants, and he is the mate of T'shina Vashka. Since Lili and C'kayah started seeing one another, neither of the two have spoken much and he never said a word when he officially left the Society with T'shina and a few others.

''●''●[[Toff Vaughn]]: One of Ado's original guardians, Lili went to Toff and Katiti before she formally adopted Ado. While she respects the man, his childish bouts of attitude test the limits of her temper, including with how he has grown the habit lately of flirting with taken women. Whether he seems to know they're taken or not.

''●''●[[Togy Brandmakt]]: A previous lover, the two seperated due to Togy's wanderings and traveling keeping them apart moreso then together. While not on bad terms, his unstable nature and her mixed responses to his off days makes their interractions a hit-or-miss.

●[[T'shina Vashka]]: A young woman Lili regards as a friend, the recent interractions Lili has had with C'kayah has strained their relationship. Afterwards, the two didn't speak for a while and had one rather large argument that Tenha'a even became part that drove Lili away emotionally. Things never fully recovered after that, and when finding out that Lili and C'kayah were still together, she resigned from the Society.

●[[U'zhan Tia]]: A Miqo'te that Lili met due to his associations with T'shina, he asked Lili to go adventuring with him. Shortly afterwards, he stopped speaking with her. Having gotten the impression he was very much like the womanizing 'Nunh' types he claimed to dislike so much, Lili has had very little desire to rekindle a friendship. With his mating to one of her employees, Liandri, she is slowly getting more accustomed to seeing the man hanging around the Society grounds.

=== PC Rumors (Feel Free to Add IC Rumors) ===

*:"There's no end to the surprises this woman presents. She's lived more lives already than many people will ever live, and I don't doubt that she'll continue to do so for some time to come. She fascinates me to the extreme." - [[C'kayah Tia]]

*:"We've only spoken the once, and in that time she told me to do something extremely rude to a carbuncle. Things can only improve from there!" - [[Verad Bellveil]]

*:"The Flame Sergeant, right? C'kayah's latest squeeze? Seems a sweet woman, which leaves me wonderin' how that little tangle came about...." - [[Osric Melkire]]

*:"Aaah! I love Lili! ... Is she here!?" - [[Aya Foxheart]]

*:"Hm? I'd rather not talk about it or her, thanks." - [[T'shina Vashka]]

*:"Well... I've only had the good fortune of knowing her for a short time now, so I'm by no means an expert. But to be perfectly honest, she's one of the most compassionate, understanding, sweetest people you'll never meet. Just don't piss her off. She'll knock your teeth in." - [[Kaiten Skyborn]]

*:"Ah, Lili... Now THERE is a heart that knows how to bleed." - [[Chokho Viqqoh]]

*:"Lili?" She cracks a small smile. "Truth be told, I haven't known her for very long, but I feel like I can trust her implicitly. Almost like she's been there for years." - [[Ennara Calian]]

*:"Miss Lilithium? She's one of the best employers I've ever had the honor of working for. Kind, fair, fiercely devoted... She brings out the best in people, truly. I can't express the amount of gratitude I feel for her, and no doubt many others feel the same." - [[Locke Rinannis]]

*:"Lilithium.. Hmm.. She is a women with her priorities straight which isn't something I can say about most women I have seen.." He would narrows his eyes slightly. "And yet she still manages to enjoy her life with every passing moment. I envy her for it but she treats those who can not with kindness, something rare in all of Eorzea.. Yet why do I have a feeling she can change if you harm someone she holds dear, especially Ado or any of her company members.." - [[Azeiox Nelles]]

*: "She has an innate talent for something. What exactly? I cannot fathom, though it makes her judge the character of individual's seemingly well. Aside from my skepticism, she's rather fair and kind-hearted, though she could easily stomp out behaviour that would be unwarranted or disrespectful." - [[Liandri Mei]]

== History/Timeline ==

=== 1544-1559 Childhood/adolescence ===

Born an only child, Lili had a comfortable life with her parents living in Ul'dah. Taking frequent trips to the countryside and the desert to look for new herbs and roots and other things that were in demand or that her parents needed to discover. They met a variety of people and went a variety places before Lili even learned how to walk, though their home territory was always Ul'dah and the Thanalans. Around the time Lili was just turning five, her parents decided to relocate to La Noscea and start maping and surveying the lush island terrain. While on the cargo ship to Limsa Lominsa, the Altairs discovered a tiny bundle that was wailing and screaming and covered in bloodied rags. A newborn Miqo'te child, still covered in the blood of labor pains, though with no mother in sight. No one on the ship knew where she came from, and eventually Lili's parents made her part of the family and named her Rahsha.

Time passed easily in La Noscea. Lili treasured little Rahsha as if she was a blood sister. The tail and ears were only a cute little addition Lili liked to play with. Around the time she was eight and Rahsha was barely three, a family moved in nearby from Ala Mhigo with a single child of their own. A dark skinned, blonde haired, red eyed little prankster of a boy named Ghislan Nightwing. He was immidiately taken with Lili, even as a young boy, and showed it in his typical fashion of flipping her skirts, pulling on her head, and throwing sand and mud balls at he face. This usually earned him retaliation of equal brutality by Lili, with assistance from little Rahsha while their parents looked on with affection and amusement.

The years passed without incident. The comings and goings of the outside world seemed far away from Lili. Her life consisted of her family and Ghislan, and it seemed to be all she needed. As Ghislan and Lili got older, they went from children to friends, and before long, they were fawning over one another in the typical girlish and boyish fashions. Shortly after Lili's fourteenth birthday gathering, their love for one another was too much to be contained (in their young eyes at least). Following their coupling, Lili realized she was pregnant, and the two quickly escaped into the night to find the closest Priestess of Menphina to bless a union between them. Their elopement was received with a measure of shock and surprise that was quickly welcomed by all, save for Rahsha. Feeling that her sister abandoned her, the little Miqo'te never quite outgrew such feelings.

And thus began the life of Mrs. Lilithium Nightwing.

=== 1559-1569 Lilithium Amal'thea Nightwing ===

The married life was one Lili slipped into with ease. Shortly after turning fifteen summers, she gave birth to Khavan Amadeus Nightwing, who looked more like his father then anything else. Despite being young, they were hard working with Lili spending the majority of her time as a house wife taking care of their son with the aide of both of their parents. While Rahsha was loving to a degree to Khavan, she was still distant with her sister. It was something that, while Lili mourned for the lack of emotion she got from her, she couldn't focus on too deeply and still provide the needed care for her family.

During the first few years of their marriage, Ghislan continued to grow. Taller and taller and taller, reaching well past the average height for a Highlander. While it certainly got attention in a crowd and delighted Lili as well, it caught the eye of a few mercenary groups who saw great potential. Soon, he was recruited and cycled through a few companies who paid well and the work was mostly geared towards training. It brought in enough profit that Lili and Ghislan built their family home from the ground up. A beautiful, pale stoned cottage melded with shells from the nearby shore.

Throwing a grand celebration with friends to honor the new homestead, everyone (even Lili) drank in good cheer. One man amoungst them, however, took advantage of the situation. A long time friend of the couples' who joined Ghislan as a healer in some of his fights and jobs, his poor health would be the death of him soon and they all knew it. Amore Silverlark was his name, and he was the only living member of his family. Determined to not leave this world without carrying out his family name, he guided a very intoxicated Lili to a back room to take advantage, and succeeded with getting her pregnant. Overcome by guilt, he confessed to Ghislan who nearly killed him on the spot were it not for Lili intervening. Barely able to let it pass, Ghislan agreed to curb his animosity while it was discussed on what to do. A few weeks later, Amore succumbed to his illness and passed away, leaving Lili and Ghislan with two choices: Keep the illegitimate children, or find a way to terminate the pregnancy.

Months later, Deisarameda and Sarameda Silverlark were born. In honor of Amore and Ghislan's more happy history together, they kept the surname and Ghislan raised them as his own. Sadly, they inherited their father's illness and were in poor health as children and even into their now adult life.

Shortly after the girls were born, Lili's parents died abruptly in a house fire. Mere days later, Rahsha disappeared with what little belongings she covered from the fire. To this day, Lili has rarely seen sight of her adopted sister and has heard rumors that she retreated to the Shroud to perhaps find clues to her true family.

The years passed without incident. Ghislan put aside his mercenary life to join the military efforts around La Noscea and even beyond. During one particular assignment he was doing freelance for the Immortal Flames, they were attacked by Garleans in which Ghislan was captured and taken away. There was never a body recovered, and Lili was wracked by grief for a number of years. Even with her children there as support, it slowly became accepted that Ghislan was likely dead and never returning. Her soulmate, the love of her life, the father of her children, was gone. There was no more to be done.

And so, life went on.

=== 1569/0-Present Calamity ===

Lili ended up retaking her maiden name of Altair a few years after Ghislan passed, not feeling right baring the name of her dead husband. The day of the Calamity, Lili and her three children visited the empty grave on a little cliff over looking the sea that was dedicated to Ghislan. All four watched in complete horror as the world around them was torn to bits and land and buildings became decimated. Thankfully, their home remained intact and they suffered no severe losses. Lili focused more on her alchemical talents to help locals and those in the cities while making a little extra money for herself and her family. Within the last two years, her children grew up into beautiful, capable young adults. All three starting to go their own ways to build their new lives. It left Lili in an interesting position: After almost two decades of being married, being widowed, raising children...she now had time to focus on herself. A thrilling but frightening prospect she still has difficulty comprehending to this day.

Lili spent the first few months trying to find hobbies. Interests. Even dabbling in the company of courtesans to appease some of the loneliness seeped into her heart. Money that Ghislan left behind in his passing was enough to sustain her day-to-day life, but she still felt empty. Unfulfilled. Without her soulmate, she began to wonder if she'd eventually die of a broken heart the way some songbirds did when their mates passed. During a trip out by Moraby, Lili came across a Miqo'te man named [[Kolhi'to Embhre]] who passed along a possible business proposition at his free company, Black Sun Trading. Intrigued, Lili followed through on the matter and found employment working for the Silverstars, Matthias and Althena. It gave her a new purpose and new motivation, and during that time she met and had a brief coupling with one of her coworkers named [[Togy Brandmakt]]. While things didn't last, it opened a door for her she never thought she'd try again: Dating.

Work for Lili in Black Sun was usually fairly slow, with the occasional incident breaking up the monotony of each daily routine. But the people were interesting, and many interesting occurrences happened in the Bismarck from laughter to violence. Later, it was announced that the trading company would become an academy (Black Sun Academy), and Lili became the school receptionist. She kept an eye when she could on some of the more naive members and prospective students, including a young woman named [[Mouse Wytchwood]]. Through an old lover, Lili learned of Mouse's mysterious nature and past and vowed to keep it quiet and continue to help watching the girl from afar. Her focus became the school, as well as finding ways to relieve herself of her loneliness. She took her alchemy back up again, as well as continued her parents' legacy and proficiency in botany.

More time passed with very little incident. For a period, Lili was surrounded by an influx of interested parties who wished to start relationships with her. Only one caught her interest in the end, a miqo'te man she met through Kolhi'to named [[Darturu Torlan]]. Charmed and taken in by his good manners, wit, and appearence, he soon became a regular part of her life. And soon, a significant other. Shortly after this her youngest daughter, Sarameda, became ill. Needing constant care and attention, Lili took an extended period of time to be with her daughter and away from the world. Including away from Darturu.

Shortly after Sara finally recovered, Lili heard everyone had relocated to Ul'dah to start up a new company with Kolhi'to as head of the organization. A mercenary group called the Blacktalon Vanguard, and Darturu was his partner. Lili relocated so as to help with the group, as well as be supportive of Dart. While the relationship with Darturu didn't last and they eventually parted ways, she still met many new people and still talks to quite a few even after she left the Vanguard to start her own group, the Free Wing Society. During this time she met a young lalachild named [[Adokenai Kodomo]], a resident tot at the Quicksand that seemed to be cared after by Momodi and the adventurers that inhabited the place. So taken by him, she decided to adopt the boy as her own and the announcement was made at the opening of the Pumpkin Cafe. There, she met two people: [[Rock Shattermountain]] and [[Sarial Hawke]], both of whom took a liking to the woman and her charms. They later joined the Society, along with others that Lili knew from Blacktalon and beyond.

Also during this time, she met a man named [[C'kayah Tia]] who supplied with her alchemical regents that she was having a hard time getting a hold of. The attraction between the two was almost instant, and at the end of the night Lili decided to give him a link to her personal pearl. Not expecting to hear from him for quite some time (if ever), Lili was surprised when he got a hold of her almost immediately afterwards. It set off a chain of interactions that sent them down an unexpectedly passionate path of emotions and intimacy that Lili never seemed able to push aside. Even though at the begining she was wary, he made her feel like she could take a chance. It led her to meeting even more people, like [[Kenthy Pennyfeather]] and [[Miah Polaali]], and eventually led to her and Kayah becoming mates. While their relationship was 'open' and unconventional, she also took in a lover named [[Kaiten Skyborn]] while C'kayah took in his own interests.

The Society continued to thrive, though some of her friendships suffered as a product of her relationship with C'kayah. Her long standing friendship with [[T'shina Vashka]] and [[Tenha'a Rendha]] being the primary ones, as their dislike of C'kayah and vehemence against Lili being with him led to them recently leaving the Society. While this happened, Lili remained firm in her decision to spend her future with the male. Life continued to change, and still does to this day. Most recently she and C'kayah have become engaged, she has offered her and the Society's aid in the Doman refugee matters, and continues raising and caring after Ado.

'''Currently''': Lili remains working, balancing a home and professional life as best as she's able. She's usually found in Ul'dah or her company house, managing her employees or organizing relations and jobs. More often then not her time is work related save for those rare moments where she spends time quietly with her fiance, a friend, or a lover. Much of her business affairs seem to revolve around a few of her members that require 'special' care due to their natures or conditions both aetherical and non.

●[[C'kayah Tia]]: A miqo'te Subi met shortly after coming to Ul'dah. He not only gave her advice on how to better blend in with the city, but also was the second person ever to kiss her. She hasn't seen him since then, but she hears of him occasionally through the citys' gossip.

♥[[Rinh'sae Nelhah]]: He was big. Huge, really, compared to her, but always spoke so kindly and even got her a yukata the first time they met so she could be more appropriately dressed for festival season. From there they started a friendship that began to progress towards a romance, though she's still inexperienced and looks to the male Moonkeeper for guidance.

=== General ===

'''Lilithium Altair (Lil-ith-ium Ah-l-tair) '''is a older Hyur midlander who is often seen in and around Ul'dah and various other parts of Eorzea. Her maternal nature and affectionate disposition leaves her well liked by most who come across her. Widowed three years before the Calamity and with her three children all grown and out of the house as of roughly a year ago, Lili finds that she's able to focus on herself and her own happiness for the first time since her teens. It's left her with many doorways of oppurtunity to choose from, some full of light and adventure while others harbor a darker purpose...

Recently, she has become the owner of a staffing company known as the Free Wing Society and adopted a little boy named Adokenai. On top of that, she has opened her heart that led to avenues she never dared dream were possible. She currently has a mate/fiance (C'kayah Tia), and has been pursuing various interests that range from people to books to trying her hand at the aetheric arts.

'''Note: Lili is able to see the aether of various individuals she meets. They manifest as light and colors, and I will sometimes whisper people OOC to determine what their aether is like so Lili can react or adjust accordingly.'''

=== Appearance ===

[[File:LiliSelf.png|none|LiliSelf.png]]

Standing at 5 fulm and 4 ilm, Lili is used to seeing the world from the shorter side of things. She used to wear her pale blonde hair long and nearly to her elbows, but almost two moons ago she chopped it rather short. Recently, she's grown it out again. Her eyes are very light green with a silvery cast to the color to give it an odd shimmering quality. While her features deceive others of her true age, she bares what marks she has with pride: Some crows feet at the corner of her eyes that show when she laughs, and similar lines at the corner of her lips that only start to show when she is smiling broadly. Having bared three children (two of which were twins), she was left with rather shapely hips and added curves that she had not possessed in her youth. One of the physical features most noticed by some who meet Lili is her rather large bust despite her small size. It usually causes her a myriad of problems, as some of her shorter Miqo'te friends and Lalafell companions sometimes get suffocated when she hugs them. The rest of her is well toned from the muscle and strenght it takes to wield her axe and fist weapons, and sunkissed from her years by the shores of Limsa or the sands of Ul'dah. Around her neck is a long chain with little silver fingerbells attached to it, and on her ring finger looks to be a wedding or engagement ring of some kind.

[[File:LiliandWhisper2.jpg|none|LiliandWhisper2.jpg]]

=== Behavior ===

Having gotten pregnant at fourteen and raising or looking after her children and those of others left Lili with a maternal nature that has been driven down to the core of her very being. She tends to look out for those around her, especially those that she feels a soft spot for, or those around her children's age (teens to early twenties range). Though this maternal drive of hers doesn't make her a pushover in the least, as it is possible to ignite her ire with the right buttons being pushed. Over all, she's calm and even tempered and usually the voice of reason for those around her. Ever one to play devil's advocate.

== Combat ==

=== General ===

Lili hasn't had much of a need to show her skills publically, but in the few times she's sparred with friends she's shown a great aptitude for a martial arts style of combat. Her fists, being her primary weapon, are usually not the thing to worry about. They sometimes serve as a mere distraction for her rather powerful legs to catch someone off guard. When she does happen to use her axe, it's an interesting sight since some of the weaponry are almost as big as she is. Yet she yields them with ease, using all her force with each blow. She fights with a certain level of honor, though if the situation should call for it she won't be afraid to play dirty.

== Tendencies ==

[[File:LiliandAdo3.png]]

Always one for trying and learning new things, Lili spends much of her idle time active in one way or another. If she's not relaxing in the Quicksand or the occasional visit to the Drowning Wench, she'll be home or out and about doing some kind of activity or socializing.

=== Family ===

●Ghislan Nightwing (deceased): Lili's late husband who went MIA during an assignment against the Garleans. After no body being found over the last near decade he's been gone, everyone has safely assumed he is dead and Lili no longer mourns her first and only true love. He was also of Ala Mhigan descent and large for a Highlander (7 fulms).

''●''[[Adokenai Kodomo]]: A young Lalachild who Lili met at the Quicksand one day. Since meeting, Lili had adopted the little boy as her own. He even calls her 'Mom' regularly, and comes running to her whenever he sees her. Usually when seen together, the little boy is being held by his new mother or playing around some where near by.

''●''Khavan Nightwing: Lili's oldest child and oldest son. At nineteen years of age, nearing twenty, Khavan is engaged to a male elezen and usually bothers Lili for wedding preperation.

''●''Sarameda Silverlark: Youngest twin daughter of Lilithium Altair and Amore Silverlark.

''●''Deisarameda Silverlark: Oldest twin daughter of Lilithium Altair and Amore Silverlark.

●Rahsha Altair: A Sunseeker miqo'te that Lili's parents found when Lili was only five. Abandoned on a supply ship, no one knows her tribal origin and could never relocate birth parents. Rahsha and Lili grew apart after Lili left home, and now the two rarely see one another.

''●''Andromeda and Reiko Altair (deceased): Lili's parents died shortly after the twins were born in a simple but tragic fire. Both were botanists who were unmatched in their knowledge of the land and its bountiful treasures.

=== Other Relationships ===

''●''[[Aedan Mathis]]: On her way to gather herbs in the Sylphlands, she came across a Hyur slumped over his faithful chocobo. Bloodied and unconscious, Lili took him to the nearby Sanctum of the Twelve and managed to save his life. While the two aren't in close contact, she sees him sporadically and keep in the back of her mind his offer to look after her children as a way of thanks for her helping him.

''●''[[Aya Foxheart]]: The Quicksand's favorite barmaid, Lili worked alongside C'kayah to help Aya with some personal problems, and offered the woman multiple safe places to hide away at should she had needed it. Afterwards, she hasn't seen much of her, though that hasn't stopped the affection she began to feel towards the woman.

''♥●''[[Azeiox Nelles]]: An elezen Lili met one day at the Quicksand who always seems to be looking out for her son and letting him right on his shoulder without batting an eye. Intimidating at first, she later found his more quiet nature to be comforting and enjoys spending time with him when she can. The nature of their relationship to outsiders appears friendly, though if there is anything else going on they certainly don't show it. In private they made the decision to become lovers, and developments are still very fresh and new between them. The time they have spent together is very few and far between, but it seems to fit Lili just fine.

●[[Chokho Viqqoh]]: A Keeper woman Lili met at the fishfry event the Society put on, she flirted rather heavily with Lili and even poured a cup of water on her to see her wet in her bikkini. They met up later when they found out they were neighbors, and have started a comfortable friendship. Chokho has made her attraction known, and Lili returned the sentiment. Their lives keep them busy and often apart, though they make time to spend with one another when they can. With the passage of weeks Lili's affections have softened, though she still wonders how the miqo'te woman is doing.

''♥●''[[C'kayah Tia]]: A Miqo'te who once supplied Lili with alchemical materials she was having a hard time acquiring, he was smitten with her from the start and she rejected his advances over and over again. Instead, teasing him with playful retorts and equally playful skepticism. They ended up being around one another off and on as time went on, and over time Lili came to see that his feelings and gestures were indeed sincere and affectionate by his repeat efforts to prove such. Since asking her to be his mate, and she in turn asking him to marry her, the two have been through great obstacles that have made them stronger then ever. When seen together, Lili couldn't be happier.

''●''[[Darturu Torlan]]: Darturu and Lili were once mated, but his co-creation of the Blacktalon Vanguard made balancing work and a relationship difficult. The two eventually decided to part ways, still caring for one another, but now left to their own devices. As time has passed and seeing less and less of him, her feelings had softened to the point where romance is no longer something she entertains with the Miqo'te. They have not seen one another since she left the Vanguard, and she seems to have no desire to change that.

''●''[[Dheina Tayuun]]: A young Miqo'te she met when coming back to Ul'dah via her previous mate, Darturu. They keep in touch sporadically, and have a pleasent friendship.

♥●[[Graeldelon Bloodrage]]: One of the newer members of the Society, Lili doesn't know the young man very well. However she can occasionally be caught looking at him with a faint and curious little smile as well as fussing over recent wounds he suffered as part of a training exercise.

''●''●[[Kagewoe Erasus]]: Fiance of Nymira's, Kage is also one of her officers. While she is not close to the male, she is confident in his abilities to help her and Nym keep everyone in line and together. Recent events with the Society have the two walking on thin ice around one another and generally not around one another.

''●''[[Kal Numara]]: A Highlander woman who is also a friend of Lili's. Usually teasing her, and constantly referring to her as 'Mama' or 'Mama Lili'. Such teasings are usually met with Lili retaliating (playfully so).

[[Kenthy Pennyfeather|''●''Kenthy Pennyfeather]]: A miqo'te Lili met through her interractions with C'kayah and the Morbolvines, she's grown a light friendship with the woman, as well as quite a bit of respect due to the help that was given to her during her experience in the form of a Moonkeeper. Despite her sassy and slightly abrasive nature, Lili finds her pleasent. During a series of discussions involving Kenthy and C'kayah's desire to add intimacy to their current relationship, Kenthy lashed out at Lili in a way that had her feeling almost hostile towards the woman. Later on, the two women managed to patch things up and Lili gave Kenthy her blessing to be involved with C'kayah. She doesn't see the redhead regular, but should one ask she considers her a friend.

''♥●''[[Kaiten Skyborn]]: Lili and this hyur were involved for an extended period as lovers and friends. Due to less and less time spent together and Lili's recent engagement to C'kayah, the two had drifted apart and Kaiten soon disappeared from her life completely. Without warning, he came to her office one night with vows of love and how much he had missed her. Revealing that falling in love with another woman helped him better understand how she could love him and C'kayah both in her own ways and at the same time, it helped with their reconciliation and the slow process of coming together once more.

''●''[[Kaohastraal Aeseroix]]:A very large roe man that was introduced to Lili via T'shina at the fish fry event. His Garlean name took her aback at first, but when they started talking he eased her mind and explained some of his story. He's admitted to having an interest in her on many levels, and they've agreed to simply get to know one another. Though it's hard to know what Lili is thinking when they're seen together. As of late, she's started helping him with a number of private matters regarding his 'health'.

''●''[[Katiti Kati]]: Lili met this Lalafell around the time she met Ado, who served alongside Toff as one of the Lalachild's unofficial guardians. She eventually joined the Society, being hired as Ado's official teacher. Lili trusts her judgement, but worries with how much she stresses over things all the time.

[[Kolhi'to Embhre|''●''Kolhi'to Embhre]]: Creator of the Blacktalon Vanguard and Lili's former employer, Lili has known Kol for quite some time. However, they seem neither friendly nor hostile. Instead only polite when meeting or speaking in passing. More often then not Kol's grumpy attitude tends to irk Lili even if she may not always show it.

''●''[[Leon Maxwell]]: A young boy Lili met through Tenha'a, she's done her best to look out for his well being and educate him on matters he inquires about, such as love. Knowing a few tidbits about his current health and situation, she's been doing some research into what can possibly be done to help him. Between her work in the Society and his involvements in other matters, assisting him hasn't been as large of a priority. Recently, she learned that he found a cure which brought her happiness to know that perhaps now he could live a long and healthy life.

♥●[[Locke Rinannis]]: She had seen this man when he was around one of the free company houses next to Blacktalon, though never spoke to him or approached him. Later, she heard he was looking for work and offered him a job at the Society. He's one of her most quiet employees, and as a result she actively tries to drag him around the others and be social. His polite demeanor and timidity charms her, and she finds him rather attractive though she values him as a friend and workmate moreso then anything.

''●''[[Mouse Wytchwood]]: A miqo'te girl with odd origins and green hair, Lili has always regarded the girl with motherly concern and attention. From watching her from afar or explaining terms and concepts she does not easily grasp or helping with her hair. She knows enough of Mouse's backstory to keep her eye on the girl when she's able to, and to try and guide harm out of her way.

''●''[[Nymira Valeroyant]]: One of the members of the Society and its' main healer, Nym is not only a good friend of Lili's but also one of her officers to help keep the Society running smoothly.

''●''[[Rock Shattermountain]]: A Highlander Lili has recently met when helping with the Pumpkin Cafe opening night. He also is a friend of her adopted son, Ado. After a night out together, he confessed to feelings of a more romantic nature, and the two have been slowly getting to know one another from there. He is also the one that gave her a little pet fawn whom she affectionately calls Dot. As their interractions have progressed, as well as his hints and confessions to seeing Lili as a prospective wife, it left her flattered by his intense emotions. While she still cares for him, they have drifted into more of a close friendship.

●[[Tendha'a Rendha]]: A male Miqo'te whom Lili met shortly after the creation of the Vanguard. The two quickly became friends and confidants, and he is the mate of T'shina Vashka. Since Lili and C'kayah started seeing one another, neither of the two have spoken much and he never said a word when he officially left the Society with T'shina and a few others.

''●''●[[Toff Vaughn]]: One of Ado's original guardians, Lili went to Toff and Katiti before she formally adopted Ado. While she respects the man, his childish bouts of attitude test the limits of her temper, including with how he has grown the habit lately of flirting with taken women. Whether he seems to know they're taken or not.

''●''●[[Togy Brandmakt]]: A previous lover, the two seperated due to Togy's wanderings and traveling keeping them apart moreso then together. While not on bad terms, his unstable nature and her mixed responses to his off days makes their interractions a hit-or-miss.

●[[T'shina Vashka]]: A young woman Lili regards as a friend, the recent interractions Lili has had with C'kayah has strained their relationship. Afterwards, the two didn't speak for a while and had one rather large argument that Tenha'a even became part that drove Lili away emotionally. Things never fully recovered after that, and when finding out that Lili and C'kayah were still together, she resigned from the Society.

●[[U'zhan Tia]]: A Miqo'te that Lili met due to his associations with T'shina, he asked Lili to go adventuring with him. Shortly afterwards, he stopped speaking with her. Having gotten the impression he was very much like the womanizing 'Nunh' types he claimed to dislike so much, Lili has had very little desire to rekindle a friendship. With his mating to one of her employees, Liandri, she is slowly getting more accustomed to seeing the man hanging around the Society grounds.

== History/Timeline ==

=== 1544-1559 Childhood/adolescence ===

Born an only child, Lili had a comfortable life with her parents living in Ul'dah. Taking frequent trips to the countryside and the desert to look for new herbs and roots and other things that were in demand or that her parents needed to discover. They met a variety of people and went a variety places before Lili even learned how to walk, though their home territory was always Ul'dah and the Thanalans. Around the time Lili was just turning five, her parents decided to relocate to La Noscea and start maping and surveying the lush island terrain. While on the cargo ship to Limsa Lominsa, the Altairs discovered a tiny bundle that was wailing and screaming and covered in bloodied rags. A newborn Miqo'te child, still covered in the blood of labor pains, though with no mother in sight. No one on the ship knew where she came from, and eventually Lili's parents made her part of the family and named her Rahsha.

Time passed easily in La Noscea. Lili treasured little Rahsha as if she was a blood sister. The tail and ears were only a cute little addition Lili liked to play with. Around the time she was eight and Rahsha was barely three, a family moved in nearby from Ala Mhigo with a single child of their own. A dark skinned, blonde haired, red eyed little prankster of a boy named Ghislan Nightwing. He was immidiately taken with Lili, even as a young boy, and showed it in his typical fashion of flipping her skirts, pulling on her head, and throwing sand and mud balls at he face. This usually earned him retaliation of equal brutality by Lili, with assistance from little Rahsha while their parents looked on with affection and amusement.

The years passed without incident. The comings and goings of the outside world seemed far away from Lili. Her life consisted of her family and Ghislan, and it seemed to be all she needed. As Ghislan and Lili got older, they went from children to friends, and before long, they were fawning over one another in the typical girlish and boyish fashions. Shortly after Lili's fourteenth birthday gathering, their love for one another was too much to be contained (in their young eyes at least). Following their coupling, Lili realized she was pregnant, and the two quickly escaped into the night to find the closest Priestess of Menphina to bless a union between them. Their elopement was received with a measure of shock and surprise that was quickly welcomed by all, save for Rahsha. Feeling that her sister abandoned her, the little Miqo'te never quite outgrew such feelings.

And thus began the life of Mrs. Lilithium Nightwing.

=== 1559-1569 Lilithium Amal'thea Nightwing ===

The married life was one Lili slipped into with ease. Shortly after turning fifteen summers, she gave birth to Khavan Amadeus Nightwing, who looked more like his father then anything else. Despite being young, they were hard working with Lili spending the majority of her time as a house wife taking care of their son with the aide of both of their parents. While Rahsha was loving to a degree to Khavan, she was still distant with her sister. It was something that, while Lili mourned for the lack of emotion she got from her, she couldn't focus on too deeply and still provide the needed care for her family.

During the first few years of their marriage, Ghislan continued to grow. Taller and taller and taller, reaching well past the average height for a Highlander. While it certainly got attention in a crowd and delighted Lili as well, it caught the eye of a few mercenary groups who saw great potential. Soon, he was recruited and cycled through a few companies who paid well and the work was mostly geared towards training. It brought in enough profit that Lili and Ghislan built their family home from the ground up. A beautiful, pale stoned cottage melded with shells from the nearby shore.

Throwing a grand celebration with friends to honor the new homestead, everyone (even Lili) drank in good cheer. One man amoungst them, however, took advantage of the situation. A long time friend of the couples' who joined Ghislan as a healer in some of his fights and jobs, his poor health would be the death of him soon and they all knew it. Amore Silverlark was his name, and he was the only living member of his family. Determined to not leave this world without carrying out his family name, he guided a very intoxicated Lili to a back room to take advantage, and succeeded with getting her pregnant. Overcome by guilt, he confessed to Ghislan who nearly killed him on the spot were it not for Lili intervening. Barely able to let it pass, Ghislan agreed to curb his animosity while it was discussed on what to do. A few weeks later, Amore succumbed to his illness and passed away, leaving Lili and Ghislan with two choices: Keep the illegitimate children, or find a way to terminate the pregnancy.

Months later, Deisarameda and Sarameda Silverlark were born. In honor of Amore and Ghislan's more happy history together, they kept the surname and Ghislan raised them as his own. Sadly, they inherited their father's illness and were in poor health as children and even into their now adult life.

Shortly after the girls were born, Lili's parents died abruptly in a house fire. Mere days later, Rahsha disappeared with what little belongings she covered from the fire. To this day, Lili has rarely seen sight of her adopted sister and has heard rumors that she retreated to the Shroud to perhaps find clues to her true family.

The years passed without incident. Ghislan put aside his mercenary life to join the military efforts around La Noscea and even beyond. During one particular assignment he was doing freelance for the Immortal Flames, they were attacked by Garleans in which Ghislan was captured and taken away. There was never a body recovered, and Lili was wracked by grief for a number of years. Even with her children there as support, it slowly became accepted that Ghislan was likely dead and never returning. Her soulmate, the love of her life, the father of her children, was gone. There was no more to be done.

And so, life went on.

=== 1569/0-Present Calamity ===

Lili ended up retaking her maiden name of Altair a few years after Ghislan passed, not feeling right baring the name of her dead husband. The day of the Calamity, Lili and her three children visited the empty grave on a little cliff over looking the sea that was dedicated to Ghislan. All four watched in complete horror as the world around them was torn to bits and land and buildings became decimated. Thankfully, their home remained intact and they suffered no severe losses. Lili focused more on her alchemical talents to help locals and those in the cities while making a little extra money for herself and her family. Within the last two years, her children grew up into beautiful, capable young adults. All three starting to go their own ways to build their new lives. It left Lili in an interesting position: After almost two decades of being married, being widowed, raising children...she now had time to focus on herself. A thrilling but frightening prospect she still has difficulty comprehending to this day.

Lili spent the first few months trying to find hobbies. Interests. Even dabbling in the company of courtesans to appease some of the loneliness seeped into her heart. Money that Ghislan left behind in his passing was enough to sustain her day-to-day life, but she still felt empty. Unfulfilled. Without her soulmate, she began to wonder if she'd eventually die of a broken heart the way some songbirds did when their mates passed. During a trip out by Moraby, Lili came across a Miqo'te man named [[Kolhi'to Embhre]] who passed along a possible business proposition at his free company, Black Sun Trading. Intrigued, Lili followed through on the matter and found employment working for the Silverstars, Matthias and Althena. It gave her a new purpose and new motivation, and during that time she met and had a brief coupling with one of her coworkers named [[Togy Brandmakt]]. While things didn't last, it opened a door for her she never thought she'd try again: Dating.

Work for Lili in Black Sun was usually fairly slow, with the occasional incident breaking up the monotony of each daily routine. But the people were interesting, and many interesting occurrences happened in the Bismarck from laughter to violence. Later, it was announced that the trading company would become an academy (Black Sun Academy), and Lili became the school receptionist. She kept an eye when she could on some of the more naive members and prospective students, including a young woman named [[Mouse Wytchwood]]. Through an old lover, Lili learned of Mouse's mysterious nature and past and vowed to keep it quiet and continue to help watching the girl from afar. Her focus became the school, as well as finding ways to relieve herself of her loneliness. She took her alchemy back up again, as well as continued her parents' legacy and proficiency in botany.

More time passed with very little incident. For a period, Lili was surrounded by an influx of interested parties who wished to start relationships with her. Only one caught her interest in the end, a miqo'te man she met through Kolhi'to named [[Darturu Torlan]]. Charmed and taken in by his good manners, wit, and appearence, he soon became a regular part of her life. And soon, a significant other. Shortly after this her youngest daughter, Sarameda, became ill. Needing constant care and attention, Lili took an extended period of time to be with her daughter and away from the world. Including away from Darturu.

Shortly after Sara finally recovered, Lili heard everyone had relocated to Ul'dah to start up a new company with Kolhi'to as head of the organization. A mercenary group called the Blacktalon Vanguard, and Darturu was his partner. Lili relocated so as to help with the group, as well as be supportive of Dart. While the relationship with Darturu didn't last and they eventually parted ways, she still met many new people and still talks to quite a few even after she left the Vanguard to start her own group, the Free Wing Society. During this time she met a young lalachild named [[Adokenai Kodomo]], a resident tot at the Quicksand that seemed to be cared after by Momodi and the adventurers that inhabited the place. So taken by him, she decided to adopt the boy as her own and the announcement was made at the opening of the Pumpkin Cafe. There, she met two people: [[Rock Shattermountain]] and [[Sarial Hawke]], both of whom took a liking to the woman and her charms. They later joined the Society, along with others that Lili knew from Blacktalon and beyond.

Also during this time, she met a man named [[C'kayah Tia]] who supplied with her alchemical regents that she was having a hard time getting a hold of. The attraction between the two was almost instant, and at the end of the night Lili decided to give him a link to her personal pearl. Not expecting to hear from him for quite some time (if ever), Lili was surprised when he got a hold of her almost immediately afterwards. It set off a chain of interactions that sent them down an unexpectedly passionate path of emotions and intimacy that Lili never seemed able to push aside. Even though at the begining she was wary, he made her feel like she could take a chance. It led her to meeting even more people, like [[Kenthy Pennyfeather]] and [[Miah Polaali]], and eventually led to her and Kayah becoming mates. While their relationship was 'open' and unconventional, she also took in a lover named [[Kaiten Skyborn]] while C'kayah took in his own interests.

The Society continued to thrive, though some of her friendships suffered as a product of her relationship with C'kayah. Her long standing friendship with [[T'shina Vashka]] and [[Tenha'a Rendha]] being the primary ones, as their dislike of C'kayah and vehemence against Lili being with him led to them recently leaving the Society. While this happened, Lili remained firm in her decision to spend her future with the male. Life continued to change, and still does to this day. Most recently she and C'kayah have become engaged, she has offered her and the Society's aid in the Doman refugee matters, and continues raising and caring after Ado.

'''Currently''': Lili remains working, balancing a home and professional life as best as she's able. She's usually found in Ul'dah or her company house, managing her employees or organizing relations and jobs. More often then not her time is work related save for those rare moments where she spends time quietly with her fiance, a friend, or a lover. Much of her business affairs seem to revolve around a few of her members that require 'special' care due to their natures or conditions both aetherical and non.

:-Lili is very kind and affectionate to most people she meets. That doesn't necessarily mean she's flirting with you. 
:-I tend to ignore or shut down individuals who get upset OOC about not being romantically involved with Lili and/or not getting the oppurtunity. She didn't pick you so there's probably a reason. Get over it. 
:-I'm very nice OOC so don't hesitate to approach for random RP, ideas, or if you want to know more about the Society!

=== General ===

'''Lilithium Altair (Lil-ith-ium Ah-l-tair) '''is a older Hyur midlander who is often seen in and around Ul'dah and various other parts of Eorzea. Her maternal nature and affectionate disposition leaves her well liked by most who come across her. Widowed three years before the Calamity and with her three children all grown and out of the house as of roughly a year ago, Lili finds that she's able to focus on herself and her own happiness for the first time since her teens. It's left her with many doorways of oppurtunity to choose from, some full of light and adventure while others harbor a darker purpose...

Recently, she has become the owner of a staffing company known as the Free Wing Society and adopted a little boy named Adokenai. On top of that, she has opened her heart that led to avenues she never dared dream were possible. She currently has a mate/fiance (C'kayah Tia), and has been pursuing various interests that range from people to books to trying her hand at the aetheric arts.

'''Note: Lili is able to see the aether of various individuals she meets. They manifest as light and colors, and I will sometimes whisper people OOC to determine what their aether is like so Lili can react or adjust accordingly.'''

=== Appearance ===

[[File:LiliSelf.png|none|LiliSelf.png]]

Standing at 5 fulm and 4 ilm, Lili is used to seeing the world from the shorter side of things. She used to wear her pale blonde hair long and nearly to her elbows, but almost two moons ago she chopped it rather short. Recently, she's grown it out again. Her eyes are very light green with a silvery cast to the color to give it an odd shimmering quality. While her features deceive others of her true age, she bares what marks she has with pride: Some crows feet at the corner of her eyes that show when she laughs, and similar lines at the corner of her lips that only start to show when she is smiling broadly. Having bared three children (two of which were twins), she was left with rather shapely hips and added curves that she had not possessed in her youth. One of the physical features most noticed by some who meet Lili is her rather large bust despite her small size. It usually causes her a myriad of problems, as some of her shorter Miqo'te friends and Lalafell companions sometimes get suffocated when she hugs them. The rest of her is well toned from the muscle and strenght it takes to wield her axe and fist weapons, and sunkissed from her years by the shores of Limsa or the sands of Ul'dah. Around her neck is a long chain with little silver fingerbells attached to it, and on her ring finger looks to be a wedding or engagement ring of some kind.

=== Behavior ===

Having gotten pregnant at fourteen and raising or looking after her children and those of others left Lili with a maternal nature that has been driven down to the core of her very being. She tends to look out for those around her, especially those that she feels a soft spot for, or those around her children's age (teens to early twenties range). Though this maternal drive of hers doesn't make her a pushover in the least, as it is possible to ignite her ire with the right buttons being pushed. Over all, she's calm and even tempered and usually the voice of reason for those around her. Ever one to play devil's advocate.

== Combat ==

=== General ===

Lili hasn't had much of a need to show her skills publically, but in the few times she's sparred with friends she's shown a great aptitude for a martial arts style of combat. Her fists, being her primary weapon, are usually not the thing to worry about. They sometimes serve as a mere distraction for her rather powerful legs to catch someone off guard. When she does happen to use her axe, it's an interesting sight since some of the weaponry are almost as big as she is. Yet she yields them with ease, using all her force with each blow. She fights with a certain level of honor, though if the situation should call for it she won't be afraid to play dirty.

== Tendencies ==

[[File:LiliandAdo3.png]]

Always one for trying and learning new things, Lili spends much of her idle time active in one way or another. If she's not relaxing in the Quicksand or the occasional visit to the Drowning Wench, she'll be home or out and about doing some kind of activity or socializing.

=== Family ===

●Ghislan Nightwing (deceased): Lili's late husband who went MIA during an assignment against the Garleans. After no body being found over the last near decade he's been gone, everyone has safely assumed he is dead and Lili no longer mourns her first and only true love. He was also of Ala Mhigan descent and large for a Highlander (7 fulms).

''●''[[Adokenai Kodomo]]: A young Lalachild who Lili met at the Quicksand one day. Since meeting, Lili had adopted the little boy as her own. He even calls her 'Mom' regularly, and comes running to her whenever he sees her. Usually when seen together, the little boy is being held by his new mother or playing around some where near by.

''●''Khavan Nightwing: Lili's oldest child and oldest son. At nineteen years of age, nearing twenty, Khavan is engaged to a male elezen and usually bothers Lili for wedding preperation.

''●''Sarameda Silverlark: Youngest twin daughter of Lilithium Altair and Amore Silverlark.

''●''Deisarameda Silverlark: Oldest twin daughter of Lilithium Altair and Amore Silverlark.

●Rahsha Altair: A Sunseeker miqo'te that Lili's parents found when Lili was only five. Abandoned on a supply ship, no one knows her tribal origin and could never relocate birth parents. Rahsha and Lili grew apart after Lili left home, and now the two rarely see one another.

''●''Andromeda and Reiko Altair (deceased): Lili's parents died shortly after the twins were born in a simple but tragic fire. Both were botanists who were unmatched in their knowledge of the land and its bountiful treasures.

=== Other Relationships ===

''●''[[Aedan Mathis]]: On her way to gather herbs in the Sylphlands, she came across a Hyur slumped over his faithful chocobo. Bloodied and unconscious, Lili took him to the nearby Sanctum of the Twelve and managed to save his life. While the two aren't in close contact, she sees him sporadically and keep in the back of her mind his offer to look after her children as a way of thanks for her helping him.

''●''[[Aya Foxheart]]: The Quicksand's favorite barmaid, Lili worked alongside C'kayah to help Aya with some personal problems, and offered the woman multiple safe places to hide away at should she had needed it. Afterwards, she hasn't seen much of her, though that hasn't stopped the affection she began to feel towards the woman.

''♥●''[[Azeiox Nelles]]: An elezen Lili met one day at the Quicksand who always seems to be looking out for her son and letting him right on his shoulder without batting an eye. Intimidating at first, she later found his more quiet nature to be comforting and enjoys spending time with him when she can. The nature of their relationship to outsiders appears friendly, though if there is anything else going on they certainly don't show it. In private they made the decision to become lovers, and developments are still very fresh and new between them. The time they have spent together is very few and far between, but it seems to fit Lili just fine.

●[[Chokho Viqqoh]]: A Keeper woman Lili met at the fishfry event the Society put on, she flirted rather heavily with Lili and even poured a cup of water on her to see her wet in her bikkini. They met up later when they found out they were neighbors, and have started a comfortable friendship. Chokho has made her attraction known, and Lili returned the sentiment. Their lives keep them busy and often apart, though they make time to spend with one another when they can. With the passage of weeks Lili's affections have softened, though she still wonders how the miqo'te woman is doing.

''♥●''[[C'kayah Tia]]: A Miqo'te who once supplied Lili with alchemical materials she was having a hard time acquiring, he was smitten with her from the start and she rejected his advances over and over again. Instead, teasing him with playful retorts and equally playful skepticism. They ended up being around one another off and on as time went on, and over time Lili came to see that his feelings and gestures were indeed sincere and affectionate by his repeat efforts to prove such. Since asking her to be his mate, and she in turn asking him to marry her, the two have been through great obstacles that have made them stronger then ever. When seen together, Lili couldn't be happier.

''●''[[Darturu Torlan]]: Darturu and Lili were once mated, but his co-creation of the Blacktalon Vanguard made balancing work and a relationship difficult. The two eventually decided to part ways, still caring for one another, but now left to their own devices. As time has passed and seeing less and less of him, her feelings had softened to the point where romance is no longer something she entertains with the Miqo'te. They have not seen one another since she left the Vanguard, and she seems to have no desire to change that.

''●''[[Dheina Tayuun]]: A young Miqo'te she met when coming back to Ul'dah via her previous mate, Darturu. They keep in touch sporadically, and have a pleasent friendship.

♥●[[Graeldelon Bloodrage]]: One of the newer members of the Society, Lili doesn't know the young man very well. However she can occasionally be caught looking at him with a faint and curious little smile as well as fussing over recent wounds he suffered as part of a training exercise.

''●''●[[Kagewoe Erasus]]: Fiance of Nymira's, Kage is also one of her officers. While she is not close to the male, she is confident in his abilities to help her and Nym keep everyone in line and together. Recent events with the Society have the two walking on thin ice around one another and generally not around one another.

''●''[[Kal Numara]]: A Highlander woman who is also a friend of Lili's. Usually teasing her, and constantly referring to her as 'Mama' or 'Mama Lili'. Such teasings are usually met with Lili retaliating (playfully so).

[[Kenthy Pennyfeather|''●''Kenthy Pennyfeather]]: A miqo'te Lili met through her interractions with C'kayah and the Morbolvines, she's grown a light friendship with the woman, as well as quite a bit of respect due to the help that was given to her during her experience in the form of a Moonkeeper. Despite her sassy and slightly abrasive nature, Lili finds her pleasent. During a series of discussions involving Kenthy and C'kayah's desire to add intimacy to their current relationship, Kenthy lashed out at Lili in a way that had her feeling almost hostile towards the woman. Later on, the two women managed to patch things up and Lili gave Kenthy her blessing to be involved with C'kayah. She doesn't see the redhead regular, but should one ask she considers her a friend.

''♥●''[[Kaiten Skyborn]]: Lili and this hyur were involved for an extended period as lovers and friends. Due to less and less time spent together and Lili's recent engagement to C'kayah, the two had drifted apart and Kaiten soon disappeared from her life completely. Without warning, he came to her office one night with vows of love and how much he had missed her. Revealing that falling in love with another woman helped him better understand how she could love him and C'kayah both in her own ways and at the same time, it helped with their reconciliation and the slow process of coming together once more.

''●''[[Kaohastraal Aeseroix]]:A very large roe man that was introduced to Lili via T'shina at the fish fry event. His Garlean name took her aback at first, but when they started talking he eased her mind and explained some of his story. He's admitted to having an interest in her on many levels, and they've agreed to simply get to know one another. Though it's hard to know what Lili is thinking when they're seen together. As of late, she's started helping him with a number of private matters regarding his 'health'.

''●''[[Katiti Kati]]: Lili met this Lalafell around the time she met Ado, who served alongside Toff as one of the Lalachild's unofficial guardians. She eventually joined the Society, being hired as Ado's official teacher. Lili trusts her judgement, but worries with how much she stresses over things all the time.

[[Kolhi'to Embhre|''●''Kolhi'to Embhre]]: Creator of the Blacktalon Vanguard and Lili's former employer, Lili has known Kol for quite some time. However, they seem neither friendly nor hostile. Instead only polite when meeting or speaking in passing. More often then not Kol's grumpy attitude tends to irk Lili even if she may not always show it.

''●''[[Leon Maxwell]]: A young boy Lili met through Tenha'a, she's done her best to look out for his well being and educate him on matters he inquires about, such as love. Knowing a few tidbits about his current health and situation, she's been doing some research into what can possibly be done to help him. Between her work in the Society and his involvements in other matters, assisting him hasn't been as large of a priority. Recently, she learned that he found a cure which brought her happiness to know that perhaps now he could live a long and healthy life.

♥●[[Locke Rinannis]]: She had seen this man when he was around one of the free company houses next to Blacktalon, though never spoke to him or approached him. Later, she heard he was looking for work and offered him a job at the Society. He's one of her most quiet employees, and as a result she actively tries to drag him around the others and be social. His polite demeanor and timidity charms her, and she finds him rather attractive though she values him as a friend and workmate moreso then anything.

''●''[[Mouse Wytchwood]]: A miqo'te girl with odd origins and green hair, Lili has always regarded the girl with motherly concern and attention. From watching her from afar or explaining terms and concepts she does not easily grasp or helping with her hair. She knows enough of Mouse's backstory to keep her eye on the girl when she's able to, and to try and guide harm out of her way.

''●''[[Nymira Valeroyant]]: One of the members of the Society and its' main healer, Nym is not only a good friend of Lili's but also one of her officers to help keep the Society running smoothly.

''●''[[Rock Shattermountain]]: A Highlander Lili has recently met when helping with the Pumpkin Cafe opening night. He also is a friend of her adopted son, Ado. After a night out together, he confessed to feelings of a more romantic nature, and the two have been slowly getting to know one another from there. He is also the one that gave her a little pet fawn whom she affectionately calls Dot. As their interractions have progressed, as well as his hints and confessions to seeing Lili as a prospective wife, it left her flattered by his intense emotions. While she still cares for him, they have drifted into more of a close friendship.

●[[Tendha'a Rendha]]: A male Miqo'te whom Lili met shortly after the creation of the Vanguard. The two quickly became friends and confidants, and he is the mate of T'shina Vashka. Since Lili and C'kayah started seeing one another, neither of the two have spoken much and he never said a word when he officially left the Society with T'shina and a few others.

''●''●[[Toff Vaughn]]: One of Ado's original guardians, Lili went to Toff and Katiti before she formally adopted Ado. While she respects the man, his childish bouts of attitude test the limits of her temper, including with how he has grown the habit lately of flirting with taken women. Whether he seems to know they're taken or not.

''●''●[[Togy Brandmakt]]: A previous lover, the two seperated due to Togy's wanderings and traveling keeping them apart moreso then together. While not on bad terms, his unstable nature and her mixed responses to his off days makes their interractions a hit-or-miss.

●[[T'shina Vashka]]: A young woman Lili regards as a friend, the recent interractions Lili has had with C'kayah has strained their relationship. Afterwards, the two didn't speak for a while and had one rather large argument that Tenha'a even became part that drove Lili away emotionally. Things never fully recovered after that, and when finding out that Lili and C'kayah were still together, she resigned from the Society.

●[[U'zhan Tia]]: A Miqo'te that Lili met due to his associations with T'shina, he asked Lili to go adventuring with him. Shortly afterwards, he stopped speaking with her. Having gotten the impression he was very much like the womanizing 'Nunh' types he claimed to dislike so much, Lili has had very little desire to rekindle a friendship. With his mating to one of her employees, Liandri, she is slowly getting more accustomed to seeing the man hanging around the Society grounds.

== History/Timeline ==

=== 1544-1559 Childhood/adolescence ===

Born an only child, Lili had a comfortable life with her parents living in Ul'dah. Taking frequent trips to the countryside and the desert to look for new herbs and roots and other things that were in demand or that her parents needed to discover. They met a variety of people and went a variety places before Lili even learned how to walk, though their home territory was always Ul'dah and the Thanalans. Around the time Lili was just turning five, her parents decided to relocate to La Noscea and start maping and surveying the lush island terrain. While on the cargo ship to Limsa Lominsa, the Altairs discovered a tiny bundle that was wailing and screaming and covered in bloodied rags. A newborn Miqo'te child, still covered in the blood of labor pains, though with no mother in sight. No one on the ship knew where she came from, and eventually Lili's parents made her part of the family and named her Rahsha.

Time passed easily in La Noscea. Lili treasured little Rahsha as if she was a blood sister. The tail and ears were only a cute little addition Lili liked to play with. Around the time she was eight and Rahsha was barely three, a family moved in nearby from Ala Mhigo with a single child of their own. A dark skinned, blonde haired, red eyed little prankster of a boy named Ghislan Nightwing. He was immidiately taken with Lili, even as a young boy, and showed it in his typical fashion of flipping her skirts, pulling on her head, and throwing sand and mud balls at he face. This usually earned him retaliation of equal brutality by Lili, with assistance from little Rahsha while their parents looked on with affection and amusement.

The years passed without incident. The comings and goings of the outside world seemed far away from Lili. Her life consisted of her family and Ghislan, and it seemed to be all she needed. As Ghislan and Lili got older, they went from children to friends, and before long, they were fawning over one another in the typical girlish and boyish fashions. Shortly after Lili's fourteenth birthday gathering, their love for one another was too much to be contained (in their young eyes at least). Following their coupling, Lili realized she was pregnant, and the two quickly escaped into the night to find the closest Priestess of Menphina to bless a union between them. Their elopement was received with a measure of shock and surprise that was quickly welcomed by all, save for Rahsha. Feeling that her sister abandoned her, the little Miqo'te never quite outgrew such feelings.

And thus began the life of Mrs. Lilithium Nightwing.

=== 1559-1569 Lilithium Amal'thea Nightwing ===

The married life was one Lili slipped into with ease. Shortly after turning fifteen summers, she gave birth to Khavan Amadeus Nightwing, who looked more like his father then anything else. Despite being young, they were hard working with Lili spending the majority of her time as a house wife taking care of their son with the aide of both of their parents. While Rahsha was loving to a degree to Khavan, she was still distant with her sister. It was something that, while Lili mourned for the lack of emotion she got from her, she couldn't focus on too deeply and still provide the needed care for her family.

During the first few years of their marriage, Ghislan continued to grow. Taller and taller and taller, reaching well past the average height for a Highlander. While it certainly got attention in a crowd and delighted Lili as well, it caught the eye of a few mercenary groups who saw great potential. Soon, he was recruited and cycled through a few companies who paid well and the work was mostly geared towards training. It brought in enough profit that Lili and Ghislan built their family home from the ground up. A beautiful, pale stoned cottage melded with shells from the nearby shore.

Throwing a grand celebration with friends to honor the new homestead, everyone (even Lili) drank in good cheer. One man amoungst them, however, took advantage of the situation. A long time friend of the couples' who joined Ghislan as a healer in some of his fights and jobs, his poor health would be the death of him soon and they all knew it. Amore Silverlark was his name, and he was the only living member of his family. Determined to not leave this world without carrying out his family name, he guided a very intoxicated Lili to a back room to take advantage, and succeeded with getting her pregnant. Overcome by guilt, he confessed to Ghislan who nearly killed him on the spot were it not for Lili intervening. Barely able to let it pass, Ghislan agreed to curb his animosity while it was discussed on what to do. A few weeks later, Amore succumbed to his illness and passed away, leaving Lili and Ghislan with two choices: Keep the illegitimate children, or find a way to terminate the pregnancy.

Months later, Deisarameda and Sarameda Silverlark were born. In honor of Amore and Ghislan's more happy history together, they kept the surname and Ghislan raised them as his own. Sadly, they inherited their father's illness and were in poor health as children and even into their now adult life.

Shortly after the girls were born, Lili's parents died abruptly in a house fire. Mere days later, Rahsha disappeared with what little belongings she covered from the fire. To this day, Lili has rarely seen sight of her adopted sister and has heard rumors that she retreated to the Shroud to perhaps find clues to her true family.

The years passed without incident. Ghislan put aside his mercenary life to join the military efforts around La Noscea and even beyond. During one particular assignment he was doing freelance for the Immortal Flames, they were attacked by Garleans in which Ghislan was captured and taken away. There was never a body recovered, and Lili was wracked by grief for a number of years. Even with her children there as support, it slowly became accepted that Ghislan was likely dead and never returning. Her soulmate, the love of her life, the father of her children, was gone. There was no more to be done.

And so, life went on.

=== 1569/0-Present Calamity ===

Lili ended up retaking her maiden name of Altair a few years after Ghislan passed, not feeling right baring the name of her dead husband. The day of the Calamity, Lili and her three children visited the empty grave on a little cliff over looking the sea that was dedicated to Ghislan. All four watched in complete horror as the world around them was torn to bits and land and buildings became decimated. Thankfully, their home remained intact and they suffered no severe losses. Lili focused more on her alchemical talents to help locals and those in the cities while making a little extra money for herself and her family. Within the last two years, her children grew up into beautiful, capable young adults. All three starting to go their own ways to build their new lives. It left Lili in an interesting position: After almost two decades of being married, being widowed, raising children...she now had time to focus on herself. A thrilling but frightening prospect she still has difficulty comprehending to this day.

Lili spent the first few months trying to find hobbies. Interests. Even dabbling in the company of courtesans to appease some of the loneliness seeped into her heart. Money that Ghislan left behind in his passing was enough to sustain her day-to-day life, but she still felt empty. Unfulfilled. Without her soulmate, she began to wonder if she'd eventually die of a broken heart the way some songbirds did when their mates passed. During a trip out by Moraby, Lili came across a Miqo'te man named [[Kolhi'to Embhre]] who passed along a possible business proposition at his free company, Black Sun Trading. Intrigued, Lili followed through on the matter and found employment working for the Silverstars, Matthias and Althena. It gave her a new purpose and new motivation, and during that time she met and had a brief coupling with one of her coworkers named [[Togy Brandmakt]]. While things didn't last, it opened a door for her she never thought she'd try again: Dating.

Work for Lili in Black Sun was usually fairly slow, with the occasional incident breaking up the monotony of each daily routine. But the people were interesting, and many interesting occurrences happened in the Bismarck from laughter to violence. Later, it was announced that the trading company would become an academy (Black Sun Academy), and Lili became the school receptionist. She kept an eye when she could on some of the more naive members and prospective students, including a young woman named [[Mouse Wytchwood]]. Through an old lover, Lili learned of Mouse's mysterious nature and past and vowed to keep it quiet and continue to help watching the girl from afar. Her focus became the school, as well as finding ways to relieve herself of her loneliness. She took her alchemy back up again, as well as continued her parents' legacy and proficiency in botany.

More time passed with very little incident. For a period, Lili was surrounded by an influx of interested parties who wished to start relationships with her. Only one caught her interest in the end, a miqo'te man she met through Kolhi'to named [[Darturu Torlan]]. Charmed and taken in by his good manners, wit, and appearence, he soon became a regular part of her life. And soon, a significant other. Shortly after this her youngest daughter, Sarameda, became ill. Needing constant care and attention, Lili took an extended period of time to be with her daughter and away from the world. Including away from Darturu.

Shortly after Sara finally recovered, Lili heard everyone had relocated to Ul'dah to start up a new company with Kolhi'to as head of the organization. A mercenary group called the Blacktalon Vanguard, and Darturu was his partner. Lili relocated so as to help with the group, as well as be supportive of Dart. While the relationship with Darturu didn't last and they eventually parted ways, she still met many new people and still talks to quite a few even after she left the Vanguard to start her own group, the Free Wing Society. During this time she met a young lalachild named [[Adokenai Kodomo]], a resident tot at the Quicksand that seemed to be cared after by Momodi and the adventurers that inhabited the place. So taken by him, she decided to adopt the boy as her own and the announcement was made at the opening of the Pumpkin Cafe. There, she met two people: [[Rock Shattermountain]] and [[Sarial Hawke]], both of whom took a liking to the woman and her charms. They later joined the Society, along with others that Lili knew from Blacktalon and beyond.

Also during this time, she met a man named [[C'kayah Tia]] who supplied with her alchemical regents that she was having a hard time getting a hold of. The attraction between the two was almost instant, and at the end of the night Lili decided to give him a link to her personal pearl. Not expecting to hear from him for quite some time (if ever), Lili was surprised when he got a hold of her almost immediately afterwards. It set off a chain of interactions that sent them down an unexpectedly passionate path of emotions and intimacy that Lili never seemed able to push aside. Even though at the begining she was wary, he made her feel like she could take a chance. It led her to meeting even more people, like [[Kenthy Pennyfeather]] and [[Miah Polaali]], and eventually led to her and Kayah becoming mates. While their relationship was 'open' and unconventional, she also took in a lover named [[Kaiten Skyborn]] while C'kayah took in his own interests.

The Society continued to thrive, though some of her friendships suffered as a product of her relationship with C'kayah. Her long standing friendship with [[T'shina Vashka]] and [[Tenha'a Rendha]] being the primary ones, as their dislike of C'kayah and vehemence against Lili being with him led to them recently leaving the Society. While this happened, Lili remained firm in her decision to spend her future with the male. Life continued to change, and still does to this day. Most recently she and C'kayah have become engaged, she has offered her and the Society's aid in the Doman refugee matters, and continues raising and caring after Ado.

'''Currently''': Lili remains working, balancing a home and professional life as best as she's able. She's usually found in Ul'dah or her company house, managing her employees or organizing relations and jobs. More often then not her time is work related save for those rare moments where she spends time quietly with her fiance, a friend, or a lover.

:-Lili is very kind and affectionate to most people she meets. That doesn't necessarily mean she's flirting with you. 
:-I tend to ignore or shut down individuals who get upset OOC about not being romantically involved with Lili and/or not getting the oppurtunity. She didn't pick you so there's probably a reason. Get over it. 
:-I'm very nice OOC so don't hesitate to approach for random RP, ideas, or if you want to know more about the Society!

=== General ===

'''Lilithium Altair (Lil-ith-ium Ah-l-tair) '''is a older Hyur midlander who is often seen in and around Ul'dah and various other parts of Eorzea. Her maternal nature and affectionate disposition leaves her well liked by most who come across her. Widowed three years before the Calamity and with her three children all grown and out of the house as of roughly a year ago, Lili finds that she's able to focus on herself and her own happiness for the first time since her teens. It's left her with many doorways of oppurtunity to choose from, some full of light and adventure while others harbor a darker purpose...

Recently, she has become the owner of a staffing company known as the Free Wing Society and adopted a little boy named Adokenai. On top of that, she has opened her heart that led to avenues she never dared dream were possible. She currently has a mate/fiance (C'kayah Tia), and has been pursuing various interests that range from people to books to trying her hand at the aetheric arts.

'''Note: Lili is able to see the aether of various individuals she meets. They manifest as light and colors, and I will sometimes whisper people OOC to determine what their aether is like so Lili can react or adjust accordingly.'''

=== Appearance ===

[[File:LiliSelf.png|none|LiliSelf.png]]

Standing at 5 fulm and 4 ilm, Lili is used to seeing the world from the shorter side of things. She used to wear her pale blonde hair long and nearly to her elbows, but almost two moons ago she chopped it rather short. Recently, she's grown it out again. Her eyes are very light green with a silvery cast to the color to give it an odd shimmering quality. While her features deceive others of her true age, she bares what marks she has with pride: Some crows feet at the corner of her eyes that show when she laughs, and similar lines at the corner of her lips that only start to show when she is smiling broadly. Having bared three children (two of which were twins), she was left with rather shapely hips and added curves that she had not possessed in her youth. One of the physical features most noticed by some who meet Lili is her rather large bust despite her small size. It usually causes her a myriad of problems, as some of her shorter Miqo'te friends and Lalafell companions sometimes get suffocated when she hugs them. The rest of her is well toned from the muscle and strenght it takes to wield her axe and fist weapons, and sunkissed from her years by the shores of Limsa or the sands of Ul'dah. Around her neck is a long chain with little silver fingerbells attached to it, and on her ring finger looks to be a wedding or engagement ring of some kind.

[[File:LiliandWhisper2.jpg|none|LiliandWhisper2.jpg]]

=== Behavior ===

Having gotten pregnant at fourteen and raising or looking after her children and those of others left Lili with a maternal nature that has been driven down to the core of her very being. She tends to look out for those around her, especially those that she feels a soft spot for, or those around her children's age (teens to early twenties range). Though this maternal drive of hers doesn't make her a pushover in the least, as it is possible to ignite her ire with the right buttons being pushed. Over all, she's calm and even tempered and usually the voice of reason for those around her. Ever one to play devil's advocate.

== Combat ==

=== General ===

Lili hasn't had much of a need to show her skills publically, but in the few times she's sparred with friends she's shown a great aptitude for a martial arts style of combat. Her fists, being her primary weapon, are usually not the thing to worry about. They sometimes serve as a mere distraction for her rather powerful legs to catch someone off guard. When she does happen to use her axe, it's an interesting sight since some of the weaponry are almost as big as she is. Yet she yields them with ease, using all her force with each blow. She fights with a certain level of honor, though if the situation should call for it she won't be afraid to play dirty.

== Tendencies ==

[[File:LiliandAdo3.png]]

Always one for trying and learning new things, Lili spends much of her idle time active in one way or another. If she's not relaxing in the Quicksand or the occasional visit to the Drowning Wench, she'll be home or out and about doing some kind of activity or socializing.

=== Family ===

●Ghislan Nightwing (deceased): Lili's late husband who went MIA during an assignment against the Garleans. After no body being found over the last near decade he's been gone, everyone has safely assumed he is dead and Lili no longer mourns her first and only true love. He was also of Ala Mhigan descent and large for a Highlander (7 fulms).

''●''[[Adokenai Kodomo]]: A young Lalachild who Lili met at the Quicksand one day. Since meeting, Lili had adopted the little boy as her own. He even calls her 'Mom' regularly, and comes running to her whenever he sees her. Usually when seen together, the little boy is being held by his new mother or playing around some where near by.

''●''Khavan Nightwing: Lili's oldest child and oldest son. At nineteen years of age, nearing twenty, Khavan is engaged to a male elezen and usually bothers Lili for wedding preperation.

''●''Sarameda Silverlark: Youngest twin daughter of Lilithium Altair and Amore Silverlark.

''●''Deisarameda Silverlark: Oldest twin daughter of Lilithium Altair and Amore Silverlark.

●Rahsha Altair: A Sunseeker miqo'te that Lili's parents found when Lili was only five. Abandoned on a supply ship, no one knows her tribal origin and could never relocate birth parents. Rahsha and Lili grew apart after Lili left home, and now the two rarely see one another.

''●''Andromeda and Reiko Altair (deceased): Lili's parents died shortly after the twins were born in a simple but tragic fire. Both were botanists who were unmatched in their knowledge of the land and its bountiful treasures.

=== Other Relationships ===

''●''[[Aedan Mathis]]: On her way to gather herbs in the Sylphlands, she came across a Hyur slumped over his faithful chocobo. Bloodied and unconscious, Lili took him to the nearby Sanctum of the Twelve and managed to save his life. While the two aren't in close contact, she sees him sporadically and keep in the back of her mind his offer to look after her children as a way of thanks for her helping him.

''●''[[Aya Foxheart]]: The Quicksand's favorite barmaid, Lili worked alongside C'kayah to help Aya with some personal problems, and offered the woman multiple safe places to hide away at should she had needed it. Afterwards, she hasn't seen much of her, though that hasn't stopped the affection she began to feel towards the woman.

''♥●''[[Azeiox Nelles]]: An elezen Lili met one day at the Quicksand who always seems to be looking out for her son and letting him right on his shoulder without batting an eye. Intimidating at first, she later found his more quiet nature to be comforting and enjoys spending time with him when she can. The nature of their relationship to outsiders appears friendly, though if there is anything else going on they certainly don't show it. In private they made the decision to become lovers, and developments are still very fresh and new between them. The time they have spent together is very few and far between, but it seems to fit Lili just fine.

●[[Chokho Viqqoh]]: A Keeper woman Lili met at the fishfry event the Society put on, she flirted rather heavily with Lili and even poured a cup of water on her to see her wet in her bikkini. They met up later when they found out they were neighbors, and have started a comfortable friendship. Chokho has made her attraction known, and Lili returned the sentiment. Their lives keep them busy and often apart, though they make time to spend with one another when they can. With the passage of weeks Lili's affections have softened, though she still wonders how the miqo'te woman is doing.

''♥●''[[C'kayah Tia]]: A Miqo'te who once supplied Lili with alchemical materials she was having a hard time acquiring, he was smitten with her from the start and she rejected his advances over and over again. Instead, teasing him with playful retorts and equally playful skepticism. They ended up being around one another off and on as time went on, and over time Lili came to see that his feelings and gestures were indeed sincere and affectionate by his repeat efforts to prove such. Since asking her to be his mate, and she in turn asking him to marry her, the two have been through great obstacles that have made them stronger then ever. When seen together, Lili couldn't be happier.

''●''[[Darturu Torlan]]: Darturu and Lili were once mated, but his co-creation of the Blacktalon Vanguard made balancing work and a relationship difficult. The two eventually decided to part ways, still caring for one another, but now left to their own devices. As time has passed and seeing less and less of him, her feelings had softened to the point where romance is no longer something she entertains with the Miqo'te. They have not seen one another since she left the Vanguard, and she seems to have no desire to change that.

''●''[[Dheina Tayuun]]: A young Miqo'te she met when coming back to Ul'dah via her previous mate, Darturu. They keep in touch sporadically, and have a pleasent friendship.

♥●[[Graeldelon Bloodrage]]: One of the newer members of the Society, Lili doesn't know the young man very well. However she can occasionally be caught looking at him with a faint and curious little smile as well as fussing over recent wounds he suffered as part of a training exercise.

''●''●[[Kagewoe Erasus]]: Fiance of Nymira's, Kage is also one of her officers. While she is not close to the male, she is confident in his abilities to help her and Nym keep everyone in line and together. Recent events with the Society have the two walking on thin ice around one another and generally not around one another.

''●''[[Kal Numara]]: A Highlander woman who is also a friend of Lili's. Usually teasing her, and constantly referring to her as 'Mama' or 'Mama Lili'. Such teasings are usually met with Lili retaliating (playfully so).

[[Kenthy Pennyfeather|''●''Kenthy Pennyfeather]]: A miqo'te Lili met through her interractions with C'kayah and the Morbolvines, she's grown a light friendship with the woman, as well as quite a bit of respect due to the help that was given to her during her experience in the form of a Moonkeeper. Despite her sassy and slightly abrasive nature, Lili finds her pleasent. During a series of discussions involving Kenthy and C'kayah's desire to add intimacy to their current relationship, Kenthy lashed out at Lili in a way that had her feeling almost hostile towards the woman. Later on, the two women managed to patch things up and Lili gave Kenthy her blessing to be involved with C'kayah. She doesn't see the redhead regular, but should one ask she considers her a friend.

''♥●''[[Kaiten Skyborn]]: Lili and this hyur were involved for an extended period as lovers and friends. Due to less and less time spent together and Lili's recent engagement to C'kayah, the two had drifted apart and Kaiten soon disappeared from her life completely. Without warning, he came to her office one night with vows of love and how much he had missed her. Revealing that falling in love with another woman helped him better understand how she could love him and C'kayah both in her own ways and at the same time, it helped with their reconciliation and the slow process of coming together once more.

''●''[[Kaohastraal Aeseroix]]:A very large roe man that was introduced to Lili via T'shina at the fish fry event. His Garlean name took her aback at first, but when they started talking he eased her mind and explained some of his story. He's admitted to having an interest in her on many levels, and they've agreed to simply get to know one another. Though it's hard to know what Lili is thinking when they're seen together. As of late, she's started helping him with a number of private matters regarding his 'health'.

''●''[[Katiti Kati]]: Lili met this Lalafell around the time she met Ado, who served alongside Toff as one of the Lalachild's unofficial guardians. She eventually joined the Society, being hired as Ado's official teacher. Lili trusts her judgement, but worries with how much she stresses over things all the time.

[[Kolhi'to Embhre|''●''Kolhi'to Embhre]]: Creator of the Blacktalon Vanguard and Lili's former employer, Lili has known Kol for quite some time. However, they seem neither friendly nor hostile. Instead only polite when meeting or speaking in passing. More often then not Kol's grumpy attitude tends to irk Lili even if she may not always show it.

''●''[[Leon Maxwell]]: A young boy Lili met through Tenha'a, she's done her best to look out for his well being and educate him on matters he inquires about, such as love. Knowing a few tidbits about his current health and situation, she's been doing some research into what can possibly be done to help him. Between her work in the Society and his involvements in other matters, assisting him hasn't been as large of a priority. Recently, she learned that he found a cure which brought her happiness to know that perhaps now he could live a long and healthy life.

♥●[[Locke Rinannis]]: She had seen this man when he was around one of the free company houses next to Blacktalon, though never spoke to him or approached him. Later, she heard he was looking for work and offered him a job at the Society. He's one of her most quiet employees, and as a result she actively tries to drag him around the others and be social. His polite demeanor and timidity charms her, and she finds him rather attractive though she values him as a friend and workmate moreso then anything.

''●''[[Mouse Wytchwood]]: A miqo'te girl with odd origins and green hair, Lili has always regarded the girl with motherly concern and attention. From watching her from afar or explaining terms and concepts she does not easily grasp or helping with her hair. She knows enough of Mouse's backstory to keep her eye on the girl when she's able to, and to try and guide harm out of her way.

''●''[[Nymira Valeroyant]]: One of the members of the Society and its' main healer, Nym is not only a good friend of Lili's but also one of her officers to help keep the Society running smoothly.

''●''[[Rock Shattermountain]]: A Highlander Lili has recently met when helping with the Pumpkin Cafe opening night. He also is a friend of her adopted son, Ado. After a night out together, he confessed to feelings of a more romantic nature, and the two have been slowly getting to know one another from there. He is also the one that gave her a little pet fawn whom she affectionately calls Dot. As their interractions have progressed, as well as his hints and confessions to seeing Lili as a prospective wife, it left her flattered by his intense emotions. While she still cares for him, they have drifted into more of a close friendship.

●[[Tendha'a Rendha]]: A male Miqo'te whom Lili met shortly after the creation of the Vanguard. The two quickly became friends and confidants, and he is the mate of T'shina Vashka. Since Lili and C'kayah started seeing one another, neither of the two have spoken much and he never said a word when he officially left the Society with T'shina and a few others.

''●''●[[Toff Vaughn]]: One of Ado's original guardians, Lili went to Toff and Katiti before she formally adopted Ado. While she respects the man, his childish bouts of attitude test the limits of her temper, including with how he has grown the habit lately of flirting with taken women. Whether he seems to know they're taken or not.

''●''●[[Togy Brandmakt]]: A previous lover, the two seperated due to Togy's wanderings and traveling keeping them apart moreso then together. While not on bad terms, his unstable nature and her mixed responses to his off days makes their interractions a hit-or-miss.

●[[T'shina Vashka]]: A young woman Lili regards as a friend, the recent interractions Lili has had with C'kayah has strained their relationship. Afterwards, the two didn't speak for a while and had one rather large argument that Tenha'a even became part that drove Lili away emotionally. Things never fully recovered after that, and when finding out that Lili and C'kayah were still together, she resigned from the Society.

●[[U'zhan Tia]]: A Miqo'te that Lili met due to his associations with T'shina, he asked Lili to go adventuring with him. Shortly afterwards, he stopped speaking with her. Having gotten the impression he was very much like the womanizing 'Nunh' types he claimed to dislike so much, Lili has had very little desire to rekindle a friendship. With his mating to one of her employees, Liandri, she is slowly getting more accustomed to seeing the man hanging around the Society grounds.

== History/Timeline ==

=== 1544-1559 Childhood/adolescence ===

Born an only child, Lili had a comfortable life with her parents living in Ul'dah. Taking frequent trips to the countryside and the desert to look for new herbs and roots and other things that were in demand or that her parents needed to discover. They met a variety of people and went a variety places before Lili even learned how to walk, though their home territory was always Ul'dah and the Thanalans. Around the time Lili was just turning five, her parents decided to relocate to La Noscea and start maping and surveying the lush island terrain. While on the cargo ship to Limsa Lominsa, the Altairs discovered a tiny bundle that was wailing and screaming and covered in bloodied rags. A newborn Miqo'te child, still covered in the blood of labor pains, though with no mother in sight. No one on the ship knew where she came from, and eventually Lili's parents made her part of the family and named her Rahsha.

Time passed easily in La Noscea. Lili treasured little Rahsha as if she was a blood sister. The tail and ears were only a cute little addition Lili liked to play with. Around the time she was eight and Rahsha was barely three, a family moved in nearby from Ala Mhigo with a single child of their own. A dark skinned, blonde haired, red eyed little prankster of a boy named Ghislan Nightwing. He was immidiately taken with Lili, even as a young boy, and showed it in his typical fashion of flipping her skirts, pulling on her head, and throwing sand and mud balls at he face. This usually earned him retaliation of equal brutality by Lili, with assistance from little Rahsha while their parents looked on with affection and amusement.

The years passed without incident. The comings and goings of the outside world seemed far away from Lili. Her life consisted of her family and Ghislan, and it seemed to be all she needed. As Ghislan and Lili got older, they went from children to friends, and before long, they were fawning over one another in the typical girlish and boyish fashions. Shortly after Lili's fourteenth birthday gathering, their love for one another was too much to be contained (in their young eyes at least). Following their coupling, Lili realized she was pregnant, and the two quickly escaped into the night to find the closest Priestess of Menphina to bless a union between them. Their elopement was received with a measure of shock and surprise that was quickly welcomed by all, save for Rahsha. Feeling that her sister abandoned her, the little Miqo'te never quite outgrew such feelings.

And thus began the life of Mrs. Lilithium Nightwing.

=== 1559-1569 Lilithium Amal'thea Nightwing ===

The married life was one Lili slipped into with ease. Shortly after turning fifteen summers, she gave birth to Khavan Amadeus Nightwing, who looked more like his father then anything else. Despite being young, they were hard working with Lili spending the majority of her time as a house wife taking care of their son with the aide of both of their parents. While Rahsha was loving to a degree to Khavan, she was still distant with her sister. It was something that, while Lili mourned for the lack of emotion she got from her, she couldn't focus on too deeply and still provide the needed care for her family.

During the first few years of their marriage, Ghislan continued to grow. Taller and taller and taller, reaching well past the average height for a Highlander. While it certainly got attention in a crowd and delighted Lili as well, it caught the eye of a few mercenary groups who saw great potential. Soon, he was recruited and cycled through a few companies who paid well and the work was mostly geared towards training. It brought in enough profit that Lili and Ghislan built their family home from the ground up. A beautiful, pale stoned cottage melded with shells from the nearby shore.

Throwing a grand celebration with friends to honor the new homestead, everyone (even Lili) drank in good cheer. One man amoungst them, however, took advantage of the situation. A long time friend of the couples' who joined Ghislan as a healer in some of his fights and jobs, his poor health would be the death of him soon and they all knew it. Amore Silverlark was his name, and he was the only living member of his family. Determined to not leave this world without carrying out his family name, he guided a very intoxicated Lili to a back room to take advantage, and succeeded with getting her pregnant. Overcome by guilt, he confessed to Ghislan who nearly killed him on the spot were it not for Lili intervening. Barely able to let it pass, Ghislan agreed to curb his animosity while it was discussed on what to do. A few weeks later, Amore succumbed to his illness and passed away, leaving Lili and Ghislan with two choices: Keep the illegitimate children, or find a way to terminate the pregnancy.

Months later, Deisarameda and Sarameda Silverlark were born. In honor of Amore and Ghislan's more happy history together, they kept the surname and Ghislan raised them as his own. Sadly, they inherited their father's illness and were in poor health as children and even into their now adult life.

Shortly after the girls were born, Lili's parents died abruptly in a house fire. Mere days later, Rahsha disappeared with what little belongings she covered from the fire. To this day, Lili has rarely seen sight of her adopted sister and has heard rumors that she retreated to the Shroud to perhaps find clues to her true family.

The years passed without incident. Ghislan put aside his mercenary life to join the military efforts around La Noscea and even beyond. During one particular assignment he was doing freelance for the Immortal Flames, they were attacked by Garleans in which Ghislan was captured and taken away. There was never a body recovered, and Lili was wracked by grief for a number of years. Even with her children there as support, it slowly became accepted that Ghislan was likely dead and never returning. Her soulmate, the love of her life, the father of her children, was gone. There was no more to be done.

And so, life went on.

=== 1569/0-Present Calamity ===

Lili ended up retaking her maiden name of Altair a few years after Ghislan passed, not feeling right baring the name of her dead husband. The day of the Calamity, Lili and her three children visited the empty grave on a little cliff over looking the sea that was dedicated to Ghislan. All four watched in complete horror as the world around them was torn to bits and land and buildings became decimated. Thankfully, their home remained intact and they suffered no severe losses. Lili focused more on her alchemical talents to help locals and those in the cities while making a little extra money for herself and her family. Within the last two years, her children grew up into beautiful, capable young adults. All three starting to go their own ways to build their new lives. It left Lili in an interesting position: After almost two decades of being married, being widowed, raising children...she now had time to focus on herself. A thrilling but frightening prospect she still has difficulty comprehending to this day.

Lili spent the first few months trying to find hobbies. Interests. Even dabbling in the company of courtesans to appease some of the loneliness seeped into her heart. Money that Ghislan left behind in his passing was enough to sustain her day-to-day life, but she still felt empty. Unfulfilled. Without her soulmate, she began to wonder if she'd eventually die of a broken heart the way some songbirds did when their mates passed. During a trip out by Moraby, Lili came across a Miqo'te man named [[Kolhi'to Embhre]] who passed along a possible business proposition at his free company, Black Sun Trading. Intrigued, Lili followed through on the matter and found employment working for the Silverstars, Matthias and Althena. It gave her a new purpose and new motivation, and during that time she met and had a brief coupling with one of her coworkers named [[Togy Brandmakt]]. While things didn't last, it opened a door for her she never thought she'd try again: Dating.

Work for Lili in Black Sun was usually fairly slow, with the occasional incident breaking up the monotony of each daily routine. But the people were interesting, and many interesting occurrences happened in the Bismarck from laughter to violence. Later, it was announced that the trading company would become an academy (Black Sun Academy), and Lili became the school receptionist. She kept an eye when she could on some of the more naive members and prospective students, including a young woman named [[Mouse Wytchwood]]. Through an old lover, Lili learned of Mouse's mysterious nature and past and vowed to keep it quiet and continue to help watching the girl from afar. Her focus became the school, as well as finding ways to relieve herself of her loneliness. She took her alchemy back up again, as well as continued her parents' legacy and proficiency in botany.

More time passed with very little incident. For a period, Lili was surrounded by an influx of interested parties who wished to start relationships with her. Only one caught her interest in the end, a miqo'te man she met through Kolhi'to named [[Darturu Torlan]]. Charmed and taken in by his good manners, wit, and appearence, he soon became a regular part of her life. And soon, a significant other. Shortly after this her youngest daughter, Sarameda, became ill. Needing constant care and attention, Lili took an extended period of time to be with her daughter and away from the world. Including away from Darturu.

Shortly after Sara finally recovered, Lili heard everyone had relocated to Ul'dah to start up a new company with Kolhi'to as head of the organization. A mercenary group called the Blacktalon Vanguard, and Darturu was his partner. Lili relocated so as to help with the group, as well as be supportive of Dart. While the relationship with Darturu didn't last and they eventually parted ways, she still met many new people and still talks to quite a few even after she left the Vanguard to start her own group, the Free Wing Society. During this time she met a young lalachild named [[Adokenai Kodomo]], a resident tot at the Quicksand that seemed to be cared after by Momodi and the adventurers that inhabited the place. So taken by him, she decided to adopt the boy as her own and the announcement was made at the opening of the Pumpkin Cafe. There, she met two people: [[Rock Shattermountain]] and [[Sarial Hawke]], both of whom took a liking to the woman and her charms. They later joined the Society, along with others that Lili knew from Blacktalon and beyond.

Also during this time, she met a man named [[C'kayah Tia]] who supplied with her alchemical regents that she was having a hard time getting a hold of. The attraction between the two was almost instant, and at the end of the night Lili decided to give him a link to her personal pearl. Not expecting to hear from him for quite some time (if ever), Lili was surprised when he got a hold of her almost immediately afterwards. It set off a chain of interactions that sent them down an unexpectedly passionate path of emotions and intimacy that Lili never seemed able to push aside. Even though at the begining she was wary, he made her feel like she could take a chance. It led her to meeting even more people, like [[Kenthy Pennyfeather]] and [[Miah Polaali]], and eventually led to her and Kayah becoming mates. While their relationship was 'open' and unconventional, she also took in a lover named [[Kaiten Skyborn]] while C'kayah took in his own interests.

The Society continued to thrive, though some of her friendships suffered as a product of her relationship with C'kayah. Her long standing friendship with [[T'shina Vashka]] and [[Tenha'a Rendha]] being the primary ones, as their dislike of C'kayah and vehemence against Lili being with him led to them recently leaving the Society. While this happened, Lili remained firm in her decision to spend her future with the male. Life continued to change, and still does to this day. Most recently she and C'kayah have become engaged, she has offered her and the Society's aid in the Doman refugee matters, and continues raising and caring after Ado.

=== General ===

'''Lilithium Altair (Lil-ith-ium Ah-l-tair) '''is a older Hyur midlander who is often seen in and around Ul'dah and various other parts of Eorzea. Her maternal nature and affectionate disposition leaves her well liked by most who come across her. Widowed three years before the Calamity and with her three children all grown and out of the house as of roughly a year ago, Lili finds that she's able to focus on herself and her own happiness for the first time since her teens. It's left her with many doorways of oppurtunity to choose from, some full of light and adventure while others harbor a darker purpose...

Recently, she has become the owner of a staffing company known as the Free Wing Society and adopted a little boy named Adokenai. On top of that, she has opened her heart that led to avenues she never dared dream were possible. She currently has a mate/fiance (C'kayah Tia), and has been pursuing various interests that range from people to books to trying her hand at the aetheric arts.

'''Note: Lili is able to see the aether of various individuals she meets. They manifest as light and colors, and I will sometimes whisper people OOC to determine what their aether is like so Lili can react or adjust accordingly.'''

=== Appearance ===

[[File:LiliSelf.png|none|LiliSelf.png]]

Standing at 5 fulm and 4 ilm, Lili is used to seeing the world from the shorter side of things. She used to wear her pale blonde hair long and nearly to her elbows, but almost two moons ago she chopped it rather short. Recently, she's grown it out again. Her eyes are very light green with a silvery cast to the color to give it an odd shimmering quality. While her features deceive others of her true age, she bares what marks she has with pride: Some crows feet at the corner of her eyes that show when she laughs, and similar lines at the corner of her lips that only start to show when she is smiling broadly. Having bared three children (two of which were twins), she was left with rather shapely hips and added curves that she had not possessed in her youth. One of the physical features most noticed by some who meet Lili is her rather large bust despite her small size. It usually causes her a myriad of problems, as some of her shorter Miqo'te friends and Lalafell companions sometimes get suffocated when she hugs them. The rest of her is well toned from the muscle and strenght it takes to wield her axe and fist weapons, and sunkissed from her years by the shores of Limsa or the sands of Ul'dah. Around her neck is a long chain with little silver fingerbells attached to it, and on her ring finger looks to be a wedding or engagement ring of some kind.

[[File:LiliandWhisper2.jpg|none|LiliandWhisper2.jpg]]

=== Behavior ===

Having gotten pregnant at fourteen and raising or looking after her children and those of others left Lili with a maternal nature that has been driven down to the core of her very being. She tends to look out for those around her, especially those that she feels a soft spot for, or those around her children's age (teens to early twenties range). Though this maternal drive of hers doesn't make her a pushover in the least, as it is possible to ignite her ire with the right buttons being pushed. Over all, she's calm and even tempered and usually the voice of reason for those around her. Ever one to play devil's advocate.

== Combat ==

=== General ===

Lili hasn't had much of a need to show her skills publically, but in the few times she's sparred with friends she's shown a great aptitude for a martial arts style of combat. Her fists, being her primary weapon, are usually not the thing to worry about. They sometimes serve as a mere distraction for her rather powerful legs to catch someone off guard. When she does happen to use her axe, it's an interesting sight since some of the weaponry are almost as big as she is. Yet she yields them with ease, using all her force with each blow. She fights with a certain level of honor, though if the situation should call for it she won't be afraid to play dirty.

== Tendencies ==

[[File:LiliandAdo3.png]]

Always one for trying and learning new things, Lili spends much of her idle time active in one way or another. If she's not relaxing in the Quicksand or the occasional visit to the Drowning Wench, she'll be home or out and about doing some kind of activity or socializing.

=== Family ===

●Ghislan Nightwing (deceased): Lili's late husband who went MIA during an assignment against the Garleans. After no body being found over the last near decade he's been gone, everyone has safely assumed he is dead and Lili no longer mourns her first and only true love. He was also of Ala Mhigan descent and large for a Highlander (7 fulms).

''●''[[Adokenai Kodomo]]: A young Lalachild who Lili met at the Quicksand one day. Since meeting, Lili had adopted the little boy as her own. He even calls her 'Mom' regularly, and comes running to her whenever he sees her. Usually when seen together, the little boy is being held by his new mother or playing around some where near by.

''●''Khavan Nightwing: Lili's oldest child and oldest son. At nineteen years of age, nearing twenty, Khavan is engaged to a male elezen and usually bothers Lili for wedding preperation.

''●''Sarameda Silverlark: Youngest twin daughter of Lilithium Altair and Amore Silverlark.

''●''Deisarameda Silverlark: Oldest twin daughter of Lilithium Altair and Amore Silverlark.

●Rahsha Altair: A Sunseeker miqo'te that Lili's parents found when Lili was only five. Abandoned on a supply ship, no one knows her tribal origin and could never relocate birth parents. Rahsha and Lili grew apart after Lili left home, and now the two rarely see one another.

''●''Andromeda and Reiko Altair (deceased): Lili's parents died shortly after the twins were born in a simple but tragic fire. Both were botanists who were unmatched in their knowledge of the land and its bountiful treasures.

=== Other Relationships ===

''●''[[Aedan Mathis]]: On her way to gather herbs in the Sylphlands, she came across a Hyur slumped over his faithful chocobo. Bloodied and unconscious, Lili took him to the nearby Sanctum of the Twelve and managed to save his life. While the two aren't in close contact, she sees him sporadically and keep in the back of her mind his offer to look after her children as a way of thanks for her helping him.

''●''[[Aya Foxheart]]: The Quicksand's favorite barmaid, Lili worked alongside C'kayah to help Aya with some personal problems, and offered the woman multiple safe places to hide away at should she had needed it. Afterwards, she hasn't seen much of her, though that hasn't stopped the affection she began to feel towards the woman.

''♥●''[[Azeiox Nelles]]: An elezen Lili met one day at the Quicksand who always seems to be looking out for her son and letting him right on his shoulder without batting an eye. Intimidating at first, she later found his more quiet nature to be comforting and enjoys spending time with him when she can. The nature of their relationship to outsiders appears friendly, though if there is anything else going on they certainly don't show it. In private they made the decision to become lovers, and developments are still very fresh and new between them. The time they have spent together is very few and far between, but it seems to fit Lili just fine.

●[[Chokho Viqqoh]]: A Keeper woman Lili met at the fishfry event the Society put on, she flirted rather heavily with Lili and even poured a cup of water on her to see her wet in her bikkini. They met up later when they found out they were neighbors, and have started a comfortable friendship. Chokho has made her attraction known, and Lili returned the sentiment. Their lives keep them busy and often apart, though they make time to spend with one another when they can. With the passage of weeks Lili's affections have softened, though she still wonders how the miqo'te woman is doing.

''♥●''[[C'kayah Tia]]: A Miqo'te who once supplied Lili with alchemical materials she was having a hard time acquiring, he was smitten with her from the start and she rejected his advances over and over again. Instead, teasing him with playful retorts and equally playful skepticism. They ended up being around one another off and on as time went on, and over time Lili came to see that his feelings and gestures were indeed sincere and affectionate by his repeat efforts to prove such. Since asking her to be his mate, and she in turn asking him to marry her, the two have been through great obstacles that have made them stronger then ever. When seen together, Lili couldn't be happier.

''●''[[Darturu Torlan]]: Darturu and Lili were once mated, but his co-creation of the Blacktalon Vanguard made balancing work and a relationship difficult. The two eventually decided to part ways, still caring for one another, but now left to their own devices. As time has passed and seeing less and less of him, her feelings had softened to the point where romance is no longer something she entertains with the Miqo'te. They have not seen one another since she left the Vanguard, and she seems to have no desire to change that.

''●''[[Dheina Tayuun]]: A young Miqo'te she met when coming back to Ul'dah via her previous mate, Darturu. They keep in touch sporadically, and have a pleasent friendship.

♥●[[Graeldelon Bloodrage]]: One of the newer members of the Society, Lili doesn't know the young man very well. However she can occasionally be caught looking at him with a faint and curious little smile as well as fussing over recent wounds he suffered as part of a training exercise.

''●''●[[Kagewoe Erasus]]: Fiance of Nymira's, Kage is also one of her officers. While she is not close to the male, she is confident in his abilities to help her and Nym keep everyone in line and together. Recent events with the Society have the two walking on thin ice around one another and generally not around one another.

''●''[[Kal Numara]]: A Highlander woman who is also a friend of Lili's. Usually teasing her, and constantly referring to her as 'Mama' or 'Mama Lili'. Such teasings are usually met with Lili retaliating (playfully so).

[[Kenthy Pennyfeather|''●''Kenthy Pennyfeather]]: A miqo'te Lili met through her interractions with C'kayah and the Morbolvines, she's grown a light friendship with the woman, as well as quite a bit of respect due to the help that was given to her during her experience in the form of a Moonkeeper. Despite her sassy and slightly abrasive nature, Lili finds her pleasent. During a series of discussions involving Kenthy and C'kayah's desire to add intimacy to their current relationship, Kenthy lashed out at Lili in a way that had her feeling almost hostile towards the woman. Later on, the two women managed to patch things up and Lili gave Kenthy her blessing to be involved with C'kayah. She doesn't see the redhead regular, but should one ask she considers her a friend.

''♥●''[[Kaiten Skyborn]]: Lili and this hyur were involved for an extended period as lovers and friends. Due to less and less time spent together and Lili's recent engagement to C'kayah, the two had drifted apart and Kaiten soon disappeared from her life completely. Without warning, he came to her office one night with vows of love and how much he had missed her. Revealing that falling in love with another woman helped him better understand how she could love him and C'kayah both in her own ways and at the same time, it helped with their reconciliation and the slow process of coming together once more.

''●''[[Kaohastraal Aeseroix]]:A very large roe man that was introduced to Lili via T'shina at the fish fry event. His Garlean name took her aback at first, but when they started talking he eased her mind and explained some of his story. He's admitted to having an interest in her on many levels, and they've agreed to simply get to know one another. Though it's hard to know what Lili is thinking when they're seen together. As of late, she's started helping him with a number of private matters regarding his 'health'.

''●''[[Katiti Kati]]: Lili met this Lalafell around the time she met Ado, who served alongside Toff as one of the Lalachild's unofficial guardians. She eventually joined the Society, being hired as Ado's official teacher. Lili trusts her judgement, but worries with how much she stresses over things all the time.

[[Kolhi'to Embhre|''●''Kolhi'to Embhre]]: Creator of the Blacktalon Vanguard and Lili's former employer, Lili has known Kol for quite some time. However, they seem neither friendly nor hostile. Instead only polite when meeting or speaking in passing. More often then not Kol's grumpy attitude tends to irk Lili even if she may not always show it.

''●''[[Leon Maxwell]]: A young boy Lili met through Tenha'a, she's done her best to look out for his well being and educate him on matters he inquires about, such as love. Knowing a few tidbits about his current health and situation, she's been doing some research into what can possibly be done to help him. Between her work in the Society and his involvements in other matters, assisting him hasn't been as large of a priority. Recently, she learned that he found a cure which brought her happiness to know that perhaps now he could live a long and healthy life.

♥●[[Locke Rinannis]]: She had seen this man when he was around one of the free company houses next to Blacktalon, though never spoke to him or approached him. Later, she heard he was looking for work and offered him a job at the Society. He's one of her most quiet employees, and as a result she actively tries to drag him around the others and be social. His polite demeanor and timidity charms her, and she finds him rather attractive though she values him as a friend and workmate moreso then anything.

''●''[[Mouse Wytchwood]]: A miqo'te girl with odd origins and green hair, Lili has always regarded the girl with motherly concern and attention. From watching her from afar or explaining terms and concepts she does not easily grasp or helping with her hair. She knows enough of Mouse's backstory to keep her eye on the girl when she's able to, and to try and guide harm out of her way.

''●''[[Nymira Valeroyant]]: One of the members of the Society and its' main healer, Nym is not only a good friend of Lili's but also one of her officers to help keep the Society running smoothly.

''●''[[Rock Shattermountain]]: A Highlander Lili has recently met when helping with the Pumpkin Cafe opening night. He also is a friend of her adopted son, Ado. After a night out together, he confessed to feelings of a more romantic nature, and the two have been slowly getting to know one another from there. He is also the one that gave her a little pet fawn whom she affectionately calls Dot. As their interractions have progressed, as well as his hints and confessions to seeing Lili as a prospective wife, it left her flattered by his intense emotions. While she still cares for him, they have drifted into more of a close friendship.

●[[Tendha'a Rendha]]: A male Miqo'te whom Lili met shortly after the creation of the Vanguard. The two quickly became friends and confidants, and he is the mate of T'shina Vashka. Since Lili and C'kayah started seeing one another, neither of the two have spoken much and he never said a word when he officially left the Society with T'shina and a few others.

''●''●[[Toff Vaughn]]: One of Ado's original guardians, Lili went to Toff and Katiti before she formally adopted Ado. While she respects the man, his childish bouts of attitude test the limits of her temper, including with how he has grown the habit lately of flirting with taken women. Whether he seems to know they're taken or not.

''●''●[[Togy Brandmakt]]: A previous lover, the two seperated due to Togy's wanderings and traveling keeping them apart moreso then together. While not on bad terms, his unstable nature and her mixed responses to his off days makes their interractions a hit-or-miss.

●[[T'shina Vashka]]: A young woman Lili regards as a friend, the recent interractions Lili has had with C'kayah has strained their relationship. Afterwards, the two didn't speak for a while and had one rather large argument that Tenha'a even became part that drove Lili away emotionally. Things never fully recovered after that, and when finding out that Lili and C'kayah were still together, she resigned from the Society.

●[[U'zhan Tia]]: A Miqo'te that Lili met due to his associations with T'shina, he asked Lili to go adventuring with him. Shortly afterwards, he stopped speaking with her. Having gotten the impression he was very much like the womanizing 'Nunh' types he claimed to dislike so much, Lili has had very little desire to rekindle a friendship. With his mating to one of her employees, Liandri, she is slowly getting more accustomed to seeing the man hanging around the Society grounds.

== History/Timeline ==

=== 1544-1559 Childhood/adolescence ===

Born an only child, Lili had a comfortable life with her parents living in Ul'dah. Taking frequent trips to the countryside and the desert to look for new herbs and roots and other things that were in demand or that her parents needed to discover. They met a variety of people and went a variety places before Lili even learned how to walk, though their home territory was always Ul'dah and the Thanalans. Around the time Lili was just turning five, her parents decided to relocate to La Noscea and start maping and surveying the lush island terrain. While on the cargo ship to Limsa Lominsa, the Altairs discovered a tiny bundle that was wailing and screaming and covered in bloodied rags. A newborn Miqo'te child, still covered in the blood of labor pains, though with no mother in sight. No one on the ship knew where she came from, and eventually Lili's parents made her part of the family and named her Rahsha.

Time passed easily in La Noscea. Lili treasured little Rahsha as if she was a blood sister. The tail and ears were only a cute little addition Lili liked to play with. Around the time she was eight and Rahsha was barely three, a family moved in nearby from Ala Mhigo with a single child of their own. A dark skinned, blonde haired, red eyed little prankster of a boy named Ghislan Nightwing. He was immidiately taken with Lili, even as a young boy, and showed it in his typical fashion of flipping her skirts, pulling on her head, and throwing sand and mud balls at he face. This usually earned him retaliation of equal brutality by Lili, with assistance from little Rahsha while their parents looked on with affection and amusement.

The years passed without incident. The comings and goings of the outside world seemed far away from Lili. Her life consisted of her family and Ghislan, and it seemed to be all she needed. As Ghislan and Lili got older, they went from children to friends, and before long, they were fawning over one another in the typical girlish and boyish fashions. Shortly after Lili's fourteenth birthday gathering, their love for one another was too much to be contained (in their young eyes at least). Following their coupling, Lili realized she was pregnant, and the two quickly escaped into the night to find the closest Priestess of Menphina to bless a union between them. Their elopement was received with a measure of shock and surprise that was quickly welcomed by all, save for Rahsha. Feeling that her sister abandoned her, the little Miqo'te never quite outgrew such feelings.

And thus began the life of Mrs. Lilithium Nightwing.

=== 1559-1569 Lilithium Amal'thea Nightwing ===

The married life was one Lili slipped into with ease. Shortly after turning fifteen summers, she gave birth to Khavan Amadeus Nightwing, who looked more like his father then anything else. Despite being young, they were hard working with Lili spending the majority of her time as a house wife taking care of their son with the aide of both of their parents. While Rahsha was loving to a degree to Khavan, she was still distant with her sister. It was something that, while Lili mourned for the lack of emotion she got from her, she couldn't focus on too deeply and still provide the needed care for her family.

During the first few years of their marriage, Ghislan continued to grow. Taller and taller and taller, reaching well past the average height for a Highlander. While it certainly got attention in a crowd and delighted Lili as well, it caught the eye of a few mercenary groups who saw great potential. Soon, he was recruited and cycled through a few companies who paid well and the work was mostly geared towards training. It brought in enough profit that Lili and Ghislan built their family home from the ground up. A beautiful, pale stoned cottage melded with shells from the nearby shore.

Throwing a grand celebration with friends to honor the new homestead, everyone (even Lili) drank in good cheer. One man amoungst them, however, took advantage of the situation. A long time friend of the couples' who joined Ghislan as a healer in some of his fights and jobs, his poor health would be the death of him soon and they all knew it. Amore Silverlark was his name, and he was the only living member of his family. Determined to not leave this world without carrying out his family name, he guided a very intoxicated Lili to a back room to take advantage, and succeeded with getting her pregnant. Overcome by guilt, he confessed to Ghislan who nearly killed him on the spot were it not for Lili intervening. Barely able to let it pass, Ghislan agreed to curb his animosity while it was discussed on what to do. A few weeks later, Amore succumbed to his illness and passed away, leaving Lili and Ghislan with two choices: Keep the illegitimate children, or find a way to terminate the pregnancy.

Months later, Deisarameda and Sarameda Silverlark were born. In honor of Amore and Ghislan's more happy history together, they kept the surname and Ghislan raised them as his own. Sadly, they inherited their father's illness and were in poor health as children and even into their now adult life.

Shortly after the girls were born, Lili's parents died abruptly in a house fire. Mere days later, Rahsha disappeared with what little belongings she covered from the fire. To this day, Lili has rarely seen sight of her adopted sister and has heard rumors that she retreated to the Shroud to perhaps find clues to her true family.

The years passed without incident. Ghislan put aside his mercenary life to join the military efforts around La Noscea and even beyond. During one particular assignment he was doing freelance for the Immortal Flames, they were attacked by Garleans in which Ghislan was captured and taken away. There was never a body recovered, and Lili was wracked by grief for a number of years. Even with her children there as support, it slowly became accepted that Ghislan was likely dead and never returning. Her soulmate, the love of her life, the father of her children, was gone. There was no more to be done.

And so, life went on.

=== 1569/0-Present Calamity ===

Lili ended up retaking her maiden name of Altair a few years after Ghislan passed, not feeling right baring the name of her dead husband. The day of the Calamity, Lili and her three children visited the empty grave on a little cliff over looking the sea that was dedicated to Ghislan. All four watched in complete horror as the world around them was torn to bits and land and buildings became decimated. Thankfully, their home remained intact and they suffered no severe losses. Lili focused more on her alchemical talents to help locals and those in the cities while making a little extra money for herself and her family. Within the last two years, her children grew up into beautiful, capable young adults. All three starting to go their own ways to build their new lives. It left Lili in an interesting position: After almost two decades of being married, being widowed, raising children...she now had time to focus on herself. A thrilling but frightening prospect she still has difficulty comprehending to this day.

Lili spent the first few months trying to find hobbies. Interests. Even dabbling in the company of courtesans to appease some of the loneliness seeped into her heart. Money that Ghislan left behind in his passing was enough to sustain her day-to-day life, but she still felt empty. Unfulfilled. Without her soulmate, she began to wonder if she'd eventually die of a broken heart the way some songbirds did when their mates passed. During a trip out by Moraby, Lili came across a Miqo'te man named [[Kolhi'to Embhre]] who passed along a possible business proposition at his free company, Black Sun Trading. Intrigued, Lili followed through on the matter and found employment working for the Silverstars, Matthias and Althena. It gave her a new purpose and new motivation, and during that time she met and had a brief coupling with one of her coworkers named [[Togy Brandmakt]]. While things didn't last, it opened a door for her she never thought she'd try again: Dating.

Work for Lili in Black Sun was usually fairly slow, with the occasional incident breaking up the monotony of each daily routine. But the people were interesting, and many interesting occurrences happened in the Bismarck from laughter to violence. Later, it was announced that the trading company would become an academy (Black Sun Academy), and Lili became the school receptionist. She kept an eye when she could on some of the more naive members and prospective students, including a young woman named [[Mouse Wytchwood]]. Through an old lover, Lili learned of Mouse's mysterious nature and past and vowed to keep it quiet and continue to help watching the girl from afar. Her focus became the school, as well as finding ways to relieve herself of her loneliness. She took her alchemy back up again, as well as continued her parents' legacy and proficiency in botany.

More time passed with very little incident. For a period, Lili was surrounded by an influx of interested parties who wished to start relationships with her. Only one caught her interest in the end, a miqo'te man she met through Kolhi'to named [[Darturu Torlan]]. Charmed and taken in by his good manners, wit, and appearence, he soon became a regular part of her life. And soon, a significant other. Shortly after this her youngest daughter, Sarameda, became ill. Needing constant care and attention, Lili took an extended period of time to be with her daughter and away from the world. Including away from Darturu.

Shortly after Sara finally recovered, Lili heard everyone had relocated to Ul'dah to start up a new company with Kolhi'to as head of the organization. A mercenary group called the Blacktalon Vanguard, and Darturu was his partner. Lili relocated so as to help with the group, as well as be supportive of Dart. While the relationship with Darturu didn't last and they eventually parted ways, she still met many new people and still talks to quite a few even after she left the Vanguard to start her own group, the Free Wing Society. During this time she met a young lalachild named [[Adokenai Kodomo]], a resident tot at the Quicksand that seemed to be cared after by Momodi and the adventurers that inhabited the place. So taken by him, she decided to adopt the boy as her own and the announcement was made at the opening of the Pumpkin Cafe. There, she met two people: [[Rock Shattermountain]] and [[Sarial Hawke]], both of whom took a liking to the woman and her charms. They later joined the Society, along with others that Lili knew from Blacktalon and beyond.

Also during this time, she met a man named [[C'kayah Tia]] who supplied with her alchemical regents that she was having a hard time getting a hold of. The attraction between the two was almost instant, and at the end of the night Lili decided to give him a link to her personal pearl. Not expecting to hear from him for quite some time (if ever), Lili was surprised when he got a hold of her almost immediately afterwards. It set off a chain of interactions that sent them down an unexpectedly passionate path of emotions and intimacy that Lili never seemed able to push aside. Even though at the begining she was wary, he made her feel like she could take a chance. It led her to meeting even more people, like [[Kenthy Pennyfeather]] and [[Miah Polaali]], and eventually led to her and Kayah becoming mates. While their relationship was 'open' and unconventional, she also took in a lover named [[Kaiten Skyborn]] while C'kayah took in his own interests.

The Society continued to thrive, though some of her friendships suffered as a product of her relationship with C'kayah. Her long standing friendship with [[T'shina Vashka]] and [[Tenha'a Rendha]] being the primary ones, as their dislike of C'kayah and vehemence against Lili being with him led to them recently leaving the Society. While this happened, Lili remained firm in her decision to spend her future with the male. Life continued to change, and still does to this day. Most recently she and C'kayah have become engaged, she has offered her and the Society's aid in the Doman refugee matters, and continues raising and caring after Ado.

=== General ===

'''Lilithium Altair (Lil-ith-ium Ah-l-tair) '''is a older Hyur midlander who is often seen in and around Ul'dah and various other parts of Eorzea. Her maternal nature and affectionate disposition leaves her well liked by most who come across her. Widowed three years before the Calamity and with her three children all grown and out of the house as of roughly a year ago, Lili finds that she's able to focus on herself and her own happiness for the first time since her teens. It's left her with many doorways of oppurtunity to choose from, some full of light and adventure while others harbor a darker purpose...

Recently, she has become the owner of a staffing company known as the Free Wing Society and adopted a little boy named Adokenai. On top of that, she has opened her heart that led to avenues she never dared dream were possible. She currently has a mate/fiance (C'kayah Tia), and has been pursuing various interests that range from people to books to trying her hand at the aetheric arts.

'''Note: Lili is able to see the aether of various individuals she meets. They manifest as light and colors, and I will sometimes whisper people OOC to determine what their aether is like so Lili can react or adjust accordingly.'''

=== Appearance ===

[[File:LiliSelf.png|none|LiliSelf.png]]

Standing at 5 fulm and 4 ilm, Lili is used to seeing the world from the shorter side of things. She used to wear her pale blonde hair long and nearly to her elbows, but almost two moons ago she chopped it rather short. Recently, she's grown it out again. Her eyes are very light green with a silvery cast to the color to give it an odd shimmering quality. While her features deceive others of her true age, she bares what marks she has with pride: Some crows feet at the corner of her eyes that show when she laughs, and similar lines at the corner of her lips that only start to show when she is smiling broadly. Having bared three children (two of which were twins), she was left with rather shapely hips and added curves that she had not possessed in her youth. One of the physical features most noticed by some who meet Lili is her rather large bust despite her small size. It usually causes her a myriad of problems, as some of her shorter Miqo'te friends and Lalafell companions sometimes get suffocated when she hugs them. The rest of her is well toned from the muscle and strenght it takes to wield her axe and fist weapons, and sunkissed from her years by the shores of Limsa or the sands of Ul'dah. Around her neck is a long chain with little silver fingerbells attached to it, and on her ring finger looks to be a wedding or engagement ring of some kind.

=== Behavior ===

Having gotten pregnant at fourteen and raising or looking after her children and those of others left Lili with a maternal nature that has been driven down to the core of her very being. She tends to look out for those around her, especially those that she feels a soft spot for, or those around her children's age (teens to early twenties range). Though this maternal drive of hers doesn't make her a pushover in the least, as it is possible to ignite her ire with the right buttons being pushed. Over all, she's calm and even tempered and usually the voice of reason for those around her. Ever one to play devil's advocate.

== Combat ==

=== General ===

Lili hasn't had much of a need to show her skills publically, but in the few times she's sparred with friends she's shown a great aptitude for a martial arts style of combat. Her fists, being her primary weapon, are usually not the thing to worry about. They sometimes serve as a mere distraction for her rather powerful legs to catch someone off guard. When she does happen to use her axe, it's an interesting sight since some of the weaponry are almost as big as she is. Yet she yields them with ease, using all her force with each blow. She fights with a certain level of honor, though if the situation should call for it she won't be afraid to play dirty.

[[File:LiliandAdo3.png]]

Always one for trying and learning new things, Lili spends much of her idle time active in one way or another. If she's not relaxing in the Quicksand or the occasional visit to the Drowning Wench, she'll be home or out and about doing some kind of activity or socializing.

=== Family ===

●Ghislan Nightwing (deceased): Lili's late husband who went MIA during an assignment against the Garleans. After no body being found over the last near decade he's been gone, everyone has safely assumed he is dead and Lili no longer mourns her first and only true love. He was also of Ala Mhigan descent and large for a Highlander (7 fulms).

''●''[[Adokenai Kodomo]]: A young Lalachild who Lili met at the Quicksand one day. Since meeting, Lili had adopted the little boy as her own. He even calls her 'Mom' regularly, and comes running to her whenever he sees her. Usually when seen together, the little boy is being held by his new mother or playing around some where near by.

''●''Khavan Nightwing: Lili's oldest child and oldest son. At nineteen years of age, nearing twenty, Khavan is engaged to a male elezen and usually bothers Lili for wedding preperation.

''●''Sarameda Silverlark: Youngest twin daughter of Lilithium Altair and Amore Silverlark.

''●''Deisarameda Silverlark: Oldest twin daughter of Lilithium Altair and Amore Silverlark.

●Rahsha Altair: A Sunseeker miqo'te that Lili's parents found when Lili was only five. Abandoned on a supply ship, no one knows her tribal origin and could never relocate birth parents. Rahsha and Lili grew apart after Lili left home, and now the two rarely see one another.

''●''Andromeda and Reiko Altair (deceased): Lili's parents died shortly after the twins were born in a simple but tragic fire. Both were botanists who were unmatched in their knowledge of the land and its bountiful treasures.

=== Other Relationships ===

''●''[[Aedan Mathis]]: On her way to gather herbs in the Sylphlands, she came across a Hyur slumped over his faithful chocobo. Bloodied and unconscious, Lili took him to the nearby Sanctum of the Twelve and managed to save his life. While the two aren't in close contact, she sees him sporadically and keep in the back of her mind his offer to look after her children as a way of thanks for her helping him.

''●''[[Aya Foxheart]]: The Quicksand's favorite barmaid, Lili worked alongside C'kayah to help Aya with some personal problems, and offered the woman multiple safe places to hide away at should she had needed it. Afterwards, she hasn't seen much of her, though that hasn't stopped the affection she began to feel towards the woman.

''♥●''[[Azeiox Nelles]]: An elezen Lili met one day at the Quicksand who always seems to be looking out for her son and letting him right on his shoulder without batting an eye. Intimidating at first, she later found his more quiet nature to be comforting and enjoys spending time with him when she can. The nature of their relationship to outsiders appears friendly, though if there is anything else going on they certainly don't show it. In private they made the decision to become lovers, and developments are still very fresh and new between them.

●[[Chokho Viqqoh]]: A Keeper woman Lili met at the fishfry event the Society put on, she flirted rather heavily with Lili and even poured a cup of water on her to see her wet in her bikkini. They met up later when they found out they were neighbors, and have started a comfortable friendship. Chokho has made her attraction known, and Lili returned the sentiment. Their lives keep them busy and often apart, though they make time to spend with one another when they can. With the passage of weeks Lili's affections have softened, though she still wonders how the miqo'te woman is doing.

''♥●''[[C'kayah Tia]]: A Miqo'te who once supplied Lili with alchemical materials she was having a hard time acquiring, he was smitten with her from the start and she rejected his advances over and over again. Instead, teasing him with playful retorts and equally playful skepticism. They ended up being around one another off and on as time went on, and over time Lili came to see that his feelings and gestures were indeed sincere and affectionate by his repeat efforts to prove such. Since asking her to be his mate, and she in turn asking him to marry her, the two have been through great obstacles that have made them stronger then ever. When seen together, Lili couldn't be happier.

''●''[[Darturu Torlan]]: Darturu and Lili were once mated, but his co-creation of the Blacktalon Vanguard made balancing work and a relationship difficult. The two eventually decided to part ways, still caring for one another, but now left to their own devices. As time has passed and seeing less and less of him, her feelings had softened to the point where romance is no longer something she entertains with the Miqo'te. They have not seen one another since she left the Vanguard, and she seems to have no desire to change that.

''●''[[Dheina Tayuun]]: A young Miqo'te she met when coming back to Ul'dah via her previous mate, Darturu. They keep in touch sporadically, and have a pleasent friendship.

♥●[[Graeldelon Bloodrage]]: One of the newer members of the Society, Lili doesn't know the young man very well. However she can occasionally be caught looking at him with a faint and curious little smile as well as fussing over recent wounds he suffered as part of a training exercise.

''●''●[[Kagewoe Erasus]]: Fiance of Nymira's, Kage is also one of her officers. While she is not close to the male, she is confident in his abilities to help her and Nym keep everyone in line and together. Recent events with the Society have the two walking on thin ice around one another and generally not around one another.

''●''[[Kal Numara]]: A Highlander woman who is also a friend of Lili's. Usually teasing her, and constantly referring to her as 'Mama' or 'Mama Lili'. Such teasings are usually met with Lili retaliating (playfully so).

[[Kenthy Pennyfeather|''●''Kenthy Pennyfeather]]: A miqo'te Lili met through her interractions with C'kayah and the Morbolvines, she's grown a light friendship with the woman, as well as quite a bit of respect due to the help that was given to her during her experience in the form of a Moonkeeper. Despite her sassy and slightly abrasive nature, Lili finds her pleasent. During a series of discussions involving Kenthy and C'kayah's desire to add intimacy to their current relationship, Kenthy lashed out at Lili in a way that had her feeling almost hostile towards the woman. Later on, the two women managed to patch things up and Lili gave Kenthy her blessing to be involved with C'kayah. She doesn't see the redhead regular, but should one ask she considers her a friend.

♥●[[Kaiten Skyborn]]: Lili and this hyur were involved for an extended period as lovers and friends. Due to less and less time spent together and Lili's recent engagement to C'kayah, the two have drifted apart. While she still loves the man deeply, she has taken strides to try and move forward and onward. However, she still thinks of him often.

''●''[[Kaohastraal Aeseroix]]:A very large roe man that was introduced to Lili via T'shina at the fish fry event. His Garlean name took her aback at first, but when they started talking he eased her mind and explained some of his story. He's admitted to having an interest in her on many levels, and they've agreed to simply get to know one another. Though it's hard to know what Lili is thinking when they're seen together. As of late, she's started helping him with a number of private matters regarding his 'health'.

''●''[[Katiti Kati]]: Lili met this Lalafell around the time she met Ado, who served alongside Toff as one of the Lalachild's unofficial guardians. She eventually joined the Society, being hired as Ado's official teacher. Lili trusts her judgement, but worries with how much she stresses over things all the time.

[[Kolhi'to Embhre|''●''Kolhi'to Embhre]]: Creator of the Blacktalon Vanguard and Lili's former employer, Lili has known Kol for quite some time. However, they seem neither friendly nor hostile. Instead only polite when meeting or speaking in passing. More often then not Kol's grumpy attitude tends to irk Lili even if she may not always show it.

''●''[[Leon Maxwell]]: A young boy Lili met through Tenha'a, she's done her best to look out for his well being and educate him on matters he inquires about, such as love. Knowing a few tidbits about his current health and situation, she's been doing some research into what can possibly be done to help him. Between her work in the Society and his involvements in other matters, assisting him hasn't been as large of a priority. Recently, she learned that he found a cure which brought her happiness to know that perhaps now he could live a long and healthy life.

♥●[[Locke Rinannis]]: She had seen this man when he was around one of the free company houses next to Blacktalon, though never spoke to him or approached him. Later, she heard he was looking for work and offered him a job at the Society. He's one of her most quiet employees, and as a result she actively tries to drag him around the others and be social. His polite demeanor and timidity charms her, and she finds him rather attractive though she values him as a friend and workmate moreso then anything.

''●''[[Mouse Wytchwood]]: A miqo'te girl with odd origins and green hair, Lili has always regarded the girl with motherly concern and attention. From watching her from afar or explaining terms and concepts she does not easily grasp or helping with her hair. She knows enough of Mouse's backstory to keep her eye on the girl when she's able to, and to try and guide harm out of her way.

''●''[[Nymira Valeroyant]]: One of the members of the Society and its' main healer, Nym is not only a good friend of Lili's but also one of her officers to help keep the Society running smoothly.

''●''[[Rock Shattermountain]]: A Highlander Lili has recently met when helping with the Pumpkin Cafe opening night. He also is a friend of her adopted son, Ado. After a night out together, he confessed to feelings of a more romantic nature, and the two have been slowly getting to know one another from there. He is also the one that gave her a little pet fawn whom she affectionately calls Dot. As their interractions have progressed, as well as his hints and confessions to seeing Lili as a prospective wife, it left her flattered by his intense emotions. While she still cares for him, they have drifted into more of a close friendship.

●[[Tendha'a Rendha]]: A male Miqo'te whom Lili met shortly after the creation of the Vanguard. The two quickly became friends and confidants, and he is the mate of T'shina Vashka. Since Lili and C'kayah started seeing one another, neither of the two have spoken much and he never said a word when he officially left the Society with T'shina and a few others.

''●''●[[Toff Vaughn]]: One of Ado's original guardians, Lili went to Toff and Katiti before she formally adopted Ado. While she respects the man, his childish bouts of attitude test the limits of her temper, including with how he has grown the habit lately of flirting with taken women. Whether he seems to know they're taken or not.

''●''●[[Togy Brandmakt]]: A previous lover, the two seperated due to Togy's wanderings and traveling keeping them apart moreso then together. While not on bad terms, his unstable nature and her mixed responses to his off days makes their interractions a hit-or-miss.

●[[T'shina Vashka]]: A young woman Lili regards as a friend, the recent interractions Lili has had with C'kayah has strained their relationship. Afterwards, the two didn't speak for a while and had one rather large argument that Tenha'a even became part that drove Lili away emotionally. Things never fully recovered after that, and when finding out that Lili and C'kayah were still together, she resigned from the Society.

●[[U'zhan Tia]]: A Miqo'te that Lili met due to his associations with T'shina, he asked Lili to go adventuring with him. Shortly afterwards, he stopped speaking with her. Having gotten the impression he was very much like the womanizing 'Nunh' types he claimed to dislike so much, Lili has had very little desire to rekindle a friendship. With his mating to one of her employees, Liandri, she is slowly getting more accustomed to seeing the man hanging around the Society grounds.

== History/Timeline ==

=== 1544-1559 Childhood/adolescence ===

Born an only child, Lili had a comfortable life with her parents living in Ul'dah. Taking frequent trips to the countryside and the desert to look for new herbs and roots and other things that were in demand or that her parents needed to discover. They met a variety of people and went a variety places before Lili even learned how to walk, though their home territory was always Ul'dah and the Thanalans. Around the time Lili was just turning five, her parents decided to relocate to La Noscea and start maping and surveying the lush island terrain. While on the cargo ship to Limsa Lominsa, the Altairs discovered a tiny bundle that was wailing and screaming and covered in bloodied rags. A newborn Miqo'te child, still covered in the blood of labor pains, though with no mother in sight. No one on the ship knew where she came from, and eventually Lili's parents made her part of the family and named her Rahsha.

Time passed easily in La Noscea. Lili treasured little Rahsha as if she was a blood sister. The tail and ears were only a cute little addition Lili liked to play with. Around the time she was eight and Rahsha was barely three, a family moved in nearby from Ala Mhigo with a single child of their own. A dark skinned, blonde haired, red eyed little prankster of a boy named Ghislan Nightwing. He was immidiately taken with Lili, even as a young boy, and showed it in his typical fashion of flipping her skirts, pulling on her head, and throwing sand and mud balls at he face. This usually earned him retaliation of equal brutality by Lili, with assistance from little Rahsha while their parents looked on with affection and amusement.

The years passed without incident. The comings and goings of the outside world seemed far away from Lili. Her life consisted of her family and Ghislan, and it seemed to be all she needed. As Ghislan and Lili got older, they went from children to friends, and before long, they were fawning over one another in the typical girlish and boyish fashions. Shortly after Lili's fourteenth birthday gathering, their love for one another was too much to be contained (in their young eyes at least). Following their coupling, Lili realized she was pregnant, and the two quickly escaped into the night to find the closest Priestess of Menphina to bless a union between them. Their elopement was received with a measure of shock and surprise that was quickly welcomed by all, save for Rahsha. Feeling that her sister abandoned her, the little Miqo'te never quite outgrew such feelings.

And thus began the life of Mrs. Lilithium Nightwing.

=== 1559-1569 Lilithium Amal'thea Nightwing ===

The married life was one Lili slipped into with ease. Shortly after turning fifteen summers, she gave birth to Khavan Amadeus Nightwing, who looked more like his father then anything else. Despite being young, they were hard working with Lili spending the majority of her time as a house wife taking care of their son with the aide of both of their parents. While Rahsha was loving to a degree to Khavan, she was still distant with her sister. It was something that, while Lili mourned for the lack of emotion she got from her, she couldn't focus on too deeply and still provide the needed care for her family.

During the first few years of their marriage, Ghislan continued to grow. Taller and taller and taller, reaching well past the average height for a Highlander. While it certainly got attention in a crowd and delighted Lili as well, it caught the eye of a few mercenary groups who saw great potential. Soon, he was recruited and cycled through a few companies who paid well and the work was mostly geared towards training. It brought in enough profit that Lili and Ghislan built their family home from the ground up. A beautiful, pale stoned cottage melded with shells from the nearby shore.

Throwing a grand celebration with friends to honor the new homestead, everyone (even Lili) drank in good cheer. One man amoungst them, however, took advantage of the situation. A long time friend of the couples' who joined Ghislan as a healer in some of his fights and jobs, his poor health would be the death of him soon and they all knew it. Amore Silverlark was his name, and he was the only living member of his family. Determined to not leave this world without carrying out his family name, he guided a very intoxicated Lili to a back room to take advantage, and succeeded with getting her pregnant. Overcome by guilt, he confessed to Ghislan who nearly killed him on the spot were it not for Lili intervening. Barely able to let it pass, Ghislan agreed to curb his animosity while it was discussed on what to do. A few weeks later, Amore succumbed to his illness and passed away, leaving Lili and Ghislan with two choices: Keep the illegitimate children, or find a way to terminate the pregnancy.

Months later, Deisarameda and Sarameda Silverlark were born. In honor of Amore and Ghislan's more happy history together, they kept the surname and Ghislan raised them as his own. Sadly, they inherited their father's illness and were in poor health as children and even into their now adult life.

Shortly after the girls were born, Lili's parents died abruptly in a house fire. Mere days later, Rahsha disappeared with what little belongings she covered from the fire. To this day, Lili has rarely seen sight of her adopted sister and has heard rumors that she retreated to the Shroud to perhaps find clues to her true family.

The years passed without incident. Ghislan put aside his mercenary life to join the military efforts around La Noscea and even beyond. During one particular assignment he was doing freelance for the Immortal Flames, they were attacked by Garleans in which Ghislan was captured and taken away. There was never a body recovered, and Lili was wracked by grief for a number of years. Even with her children there as support, it slowly became accepted that Ghislan was likely dead and never returning. Her soulmate, the love of her life, the father of her children, was gone. There was no more to be done.

And so, life went on.

=== 1569/0-Present Calamity ===

Lili ended up retaking her maiden name of Altair a few years after Ghislan passed, not feeling right baring the name of her dead husband. The day of the Calamity, Lili and her three children visited the empty grave on a little cliff over looking the sea that was dedicated to Ghislan. All four watched in complete horror as the world around them was torn to bits and land and buildings became decimated. Thankfully, their home remained intact and they suffered no severe losses. Lili focused more on her alchemical talents to help locals and those in the cities while making a little extra money for herself and her family. Within the last two years, her children grew up into beautiful, capable young adults. All three starting to go their own ways to build their new lives. It left Lili in an interesting position: After almost two decades of being married, being widowed, raising children...she now had time to focus on herself. A thrilling but frightening prospect she still has difficulty comprehending to this day.

Lili spent the first few months trying to find hobbies. Interests. Even dabbling in the company of courtesans to appease some of the loneliness seeped into her heart. Money that Ghislan left behind in his passing was enough to sustain her day-to-day life, but she still felt empty. Unfulfilled. Without her soulmate, she began to wonder if she'd eventually die of a broken heart the way some songbirds did when their mates passed. During a trip out by Moraby, Lili came across a Miqo'te man named [[Kolhi'to Embhre]] who passed along a possible business proposition at his free company, Black Sun Trading. Intrigued, Lili followed through on the matter and found employment working for the Silverstars, Matthias and Althena. It gave her a new purpose and new motivation, and during that time she met and had a brief coupling with one of her coworkers named [[Togy Brandmakt]]. While things didn't last, it opened a door for her she never thought she'd try again: Dating.

Work for Lili in Black Sun was usually fairly slow, with the occasional incident breaking up the monotony of each daily routine. But the people were interesting, and many interesting occurrences happened in the Bismarck from laughter to violence. Later, it was announced that the trading company would become an academy (Black Sun Academy), and Lili became the school receptionist. She kept an eye when she could on some of the more naive members and prospective students, including a young woman named [[Mouse Wytchwood]]. Through an old lover, Lili learned of Mouse's mysterious nature and past and vowed to keep it quiet and continue to help watching the girl from afar. Her focus became the school, as well as finding ways to relieve herself of her loneliness. She took her alchemy back up again, as well as continued her parents' legacy and proficiency in botany.

More time passed with very little incident. For a period, Lili was surrounded by an influx of interested parties who wished to start relationships with her. Only one caught her interest in the end, a miqo'te man she met through Kolhi'to named [[Darturu Torlan]]. Charmed and taken in by his good manners, wit, and appearence, he soon became a regular part of her life. And soon, a significant other. Shortly after this her youngest daughter, Sarameda, became ill. Needing constant care and attention, Lili took an extended period of time to be with her daughter and away from the world. Including away from Darturu.

Shortly after Sara finally recovered, Lili heard everyone had relocated to Ul'dah to start up a new company with Kolhi'to as head of the organization. A mercenary group called the Blacktalon Vanguard, and Darturu was his partner. Lili relocated so as to help with the group, as well as be supportive of Dart. While the relationship with Darturu didn't last and they eventually parted ways, she still met many new people and still talks to quite a few even after she left the Vanguard to start her own group, the Free Wing Society. During this time she met a young lalachild named [[Adokenai Kodomo]], a resident tot at the Quicksand that seemed to be cared after by Momodi and the adventurers that inhabited the place. So taken by him, she decided to adopt the boy as her own and the announcement was made at the opening of the Pumpkin Cafe. There, she met two people: [[Rock Shattermountain]] and [[Sarial Hawke]], both of whom took a liking to the woman and her charms. They later joined the Society, along with others that Lili knew from Blacktalon and beyond.

Also during this time, she met a man named [[C'kayah Tia]] who supplied with her alchemical regents that she was having a hard time getting a hold of. The attraction between the two was almost instant, and at the end of the night Lili decided to give him a link to her personal pearl. Not expecting to hear from him for quite some time (if ever), Lili was surprised when he got a hold of her almost immediately afterwards. It set off a chain of interactions that sent them down an unexpectedly passionate path of emotions and intimacy that Lili never seemed able to push aside. Even though at the begining she was wary, he made her feel like she could take a chance. It led her to meeting even more people, like [[Kenthy Pennyfeather]] and [[Miah Polaali]], and eventually led to her and Kayah becoming mates. While their relationship was 'open' and unconventional, she also took in a lover named [[Kaiten Skyborn]] while C'kayah took in his own interests.

The Society continued to thrive, though some of her friendships suffered as a product of her relationship with C'kayah. Her long standing friendship with [[T'shina Vashka]] and [[Tenha'a Rendha]] being the primary ones, as their dislike of C'kayah and vehemence against Lili being with him led to them recently leaving the Society. While this happened, Lili remained firm in her decision to spend her future with the male. Life continued to change, and still does to this day. Most recently she and C'kayah have become engaged, she has offered her and the Society's aid in the Doman refugee matters, and continues raising and caring after Ado.

:- I'm a hypothetical theory crafter. I love talking about hypotheticals and 'what if' scenarios regarding RP :) 
:-Lili is very kind and affectionate to most people she meets. That doesn't necessarily mean she's flirting with you. 
:-I tend to ignore or shut down individuals who get upset OOC about not being romantically involved with Lili and/or not getting the oppurtunity. She didn't pick you so there's probably a reason. Get over it. 
:-I'm very nice OOC so don't hesitate to approach for random RP, ideas, or if you want to know more about the Society!

=== General ===

'''Lilithium Altair (Lil-ith-ium Ah-l-tair) '''is a older Hyur midlander who is often seen in and around Ul'dah and various other parts of Eorzea. Her maternal nature and affectionate disposition leaves her well liked by most who come across her. Widowed three years before the Calamity and with her three children all grown and out of the house as of roughly a year ago, Lili finds that she's able to focus on herself and her own happiness for the first time since her teens. It's left her with many doorways of oppurtunity to choose from, some full of light and adventure while others harbor a darker purpose...

Recently, she has become the owner of a staffing company known as the Free Wing Society and adopted a little boy named Adokenai. On top of that, she has opened her heart that led to avenues she never dared dream were possible. She currently has a mate/fiance (C'kayah Tia), and has been pursuing various interests that range from people to books to trying her hand at the aetheric arts.

'''Note: Lili is able to see the aether of various individuals she meets. They manifest as light and colors, and I will sometimes whisper people OOC to determine what their aether is like so Lili can react or adjust accordingly.'''

=== Appearance ===

[[File:LiliSelf.png|none|LiliSelf.png]]

Standing at 5 fulm and 4 ilm, Lili is used to seeing the world from the shorter side of things. She used to wear her pale blonde hair long and nearly to her elbows, but almost two moons ago she chopped it rather short. Recently, she's grown it out again. Her eyes are very light green with a silvery cast to the color to give it an odd shimmering quality. While her features deceive others of her true age, she bares what marks she has with pride: Some crows feet at the corner of her eyes that show when she laughs, and similar lines at the corner of her lips that only start to show when she is smiling broadly. Having bared three children (two of which were twins), she was left with rather shapely hips and added curves that she had not possessed in her youth. One of the physical features most noticed by some who meet Lili is her rather large bust despite her small size. It usually causes her a myriad of problems, as some of her shorter Miqo'te friends and Lalafell companions sometimes get suffocated when she hugs them. The rest of her is well toned from the muscle and strenght it takes to wield her axe and fist weapons, and sunkissed from her years by the shores of Limsa or the sands of Ul'dah. Around her neck is a long chain with little silver fingerbells attached to it, and on her ring finger looks to be a wedding or engagement ring of some kind.

=== Behavior ===

Having gotten pregnant at fourteen and raising or looking after her children and those of others left Lili with a maternal nature that has been driven down to the core of her very being. She tends to look out for those around her, especially those that she feels a soft spot for, or those around her children's age (teens to early twenties range). Though this maternal drive of hers doesn't make her a pushover in the least, as it is possible to ignite her ire with the right buttons being pushed. Over all, she's calm and even tempered and usually the voice of reason for those around her. Ever one to play devil's advocate.

== Combat ==

=== General ===

Lili hasn't had much of a need to show her skills publically, but in the few times she's sparred with friends she's shown a great aptitude for a martial arts style of combat. Her fists, being her primary weapon, are usually not the thing to worry about. They sometimes serve as a mere distraction for her rather powerful legs to catch someone off guard. When she does happen to use her axe, it's an interesting sight since some of the weaponry are almost as big as she is. Yet she yields them with ease, using all her force with each blow. She fights with a certain level of honor, though if the situation should call for it she won't be afraid to play dirty.

== Tendencies ==

[[File:LiliandAdo3.png]]

Always one for trying and learning new things, Lili spends much of her idle time active in one way or another. If she's not relaxing in the Quicksand or the occasional visit to the Drowning Wench, she'll be home or out and about doing some kind of activity or socializing.

=== Family ===

●Ghislan Nightwing (deceased): Lili's late husband who went MIA during an assignment against the Garleans. After no body being found over the last near decade he's been gone, everyone has safely assumed he is dead and Lili no longer mourns her first and only true love. He was also of Ala Mhigan descent and large for a Highlander (7 fulms).

''●''[[Adokenai Kodomo]]: A young Lalachild who Lili met at the Quicksand one day. Since meeting, Lili had adopted the little boy as her own. He even calls her 'Mom' regularly, and comes running to her whenever he sees her. Usually when seen together, the little boy is being held by his new mother or playing around some where near by.

''●''Khavan Nightwing: Lili's oldest child and oldest son. At nineteen years of age, nearing twenty, Khavan is engaged to a male elezen and usually bothers Lili for wedding preperation.

''●''Sarameda Silverlark: Youngest twin daughter of Lilithium Altair and Amore Silverlark.

''●''Deisarameda Silverlark: Oldest twin daughter of Lilithium Altair and Amore Silverlark.

●Rahsha Altair: A Sunseeker miqo'te that Lili's parents found when Lili was only five. Abandoned on a supply ship, no one knows her tribal origin and could never relocate birth parents. Rahsha and Lili grew apart after Lili left home, and now the two rarely see one another.

''●''Andromeda and Reiko Altair (deceased): Lili's parents died shortly after the twins were born in a simple but tragic fire. Both were botanists who were unmatched in their knowledge of the land and its bountiful treasures.

=== Other Relationships ===

''●''[[Aedan Mathis]]: On her way to gather herbs in the Sylphlands, she came across a Hyur slumped over his faithful chocobo. Bloodied and unconscious, Lili took him to the nearby Sanctum of the Twelve and managed to save his life. While the two aren't in close contact, she sees him sporadically and keep in the back of her mind his offer to look after her children as a way of thanks for her helping him.

''●''[[Aya Foxheart]]: The Quicksand's favorite barmaid, Lili worked alongside C'kayah to help Aya with some personal problems, and offered the woman multiple safe places to hide away at should she had needed it. Afterwards, she hasn't seen much of her, though that hasn't stopped the affection she began to feel towards the woman.

''♥●''[[Azeiox Nelles]]: An elezen Lili met one day at the Quicksand who always seems to be looking out for her son and letting him right on his shoulder without batting an eye. Intimidating at first, she later found his more quiet nature to be comforting and enjoys spending time with him when she can. The nature of their relationship to outsiders appears friendly, though if there is anything else going on they certainly don't show it. In private they made the decision to become lovers, and developments are still very fresh and new between them.

♥●[[Chokho Viqqoh]]: A Keeper woman Lili met at the fishfry event the Society put on, she flirted rather heavily with Lili and even poured a cup of water on her to see her wet in her bikkini. They met up later when they found out they were neighbors, and have started a comfortable friendship. Chokho has made her attraction known, and Lili returned the sentiment. Their lives keep them busy and often apart, though they make time to spend with one another when they can.

''♥●''[[C'kayah Tia]]: A Miqo'te who once supplied Lili with alchemical materials she was having a hard time acquiring, he was smitten with her from the start and she rejected his advances over and over again. Instead, teasing him with playful retorts and equally playful skepticism. They ended up being around one another off and on as time went on, and over time Lili came to see that his feelings and gestures were indeed sincere and affectionate by his repeat efforts to prove such. Since asking her to be his mate, and she in turn asking him to marry her, the two have been through great obstacles that have made them stronger then ever. When seen together, Lili couldn't be happier.

''●''[[Darturu Torlan]]: Darturu and Lili were once mated, but his co-creation of the Blacktalon Vanguard made balancing work and a relationship difficult. The two eventually decided to part ways, still caring for one another, but now left to their own devices. As time has passed and seeing less and less of him, her feelings had softened to the point where romance is no longer something she entertains with the Miqo'te. They have not seen one another since she left the Vanguard, and she seems to have no desire to change that.

''●''[[Dheina Tayuun]]: A young Miqo'te she met when coming back to Ul'dah via her previous mate, Darturu. They keep in touch sporadically, and have a pleasent friendship.

♥●[[Graeldelon Bloodrage]]: One of the newer members of the Society, Lili doesn't know the young man very well. However she can occasionally be caught looking at him with a faint and curious little smile as well as fussing over recent wounds he suffered as part of a training exercise.

''●''●[[Kagewoe Erasus]]: Fiance of Nymira's, Kage is also one of her officers. While she is not close to the male, she is confident in his abilities to help her and Nym keep everyone in line and together. Recent events with the Society have the two walking on thin ice around one another and generally not around one another.

''●''[[Kal Numara]]: A Highlander woman who is also a friend of Lili's. Usually teasing her, and constantly referring to her as 'Mama' or 'Mama Lili'. Such teasings are usually met with Lili retaliating (playfully so).

[[Kenthy Pennyfeather|''●''Kenthy Pennyfeather]]: A miqo'te Lili met through her interractions with C'kayah and the Morbolvines, she's grown a light friendship with the woman, as well as quite a bit of respect due to the help that was given to her during her experience in the form of a Moonkeeper. Despite her sassy and slightly abrasive nature, Lili finds her pleasent. During a series of discussions involving Kenthy and C'kayah's desire to add intimacy to their current relationship, Kenthy lashed out at Lili in a way that had her feeling almost hostile towards the woman. Later on, the two women managed to patch things up and Lili gave Kenthy her blessing to be involved with C'kayah. She doesn't see the redhead regular, but should one ask she considers her a friend.

♥●[[Kaiten Skyborn]]: Lili and this hyur were involved for an extended period as lovers and friends. Due to less and less time spent together and Lili's recent engagement to C'kayah, the two have drifted apart. While she still loves the man deeply, she has taken strides to try and move forward and onward. However, she still thinks of him often.

''●''[[Kaohastraal Aeseroix]]:A very large roe man that was introduced to Lili via T'shina at the fish fry event. His Garlean name took her aback at first, but when they started talking he eased her mind and explained some of his story. He's admitted to having an interest in her on many levels, and they've agreed to simply get to know one another. Though it's hard to know what Lili is thinking when they're seen together. As of late, she's started helping him with a number of private matters regarding his 'health'.

''●''[[Katiti Kati]]: Lili met this Lalafell around the time she met Ado, who served alongside Toff as one of the Lalachild's unofficial guardians. She eventually joined the Society, being hired as Ado's official teacher. Lili trusts her judgement, but worries with how much she stresses over things all the time.

[[Kolhi'to Embhre|''●''Kolhi'to Embhre]]: Creator of the Blacktalon Vanguard and Lili's former employer, Lili has known Kol for quite some time. However, they seem neither friendly nor hostile. Instead only polite when meeting or speaking in passing. More often then not Kol's grumpy attitude tends to irk Lili even if she may not always show it.

''●''[[Leon Maxwell]]: A young boy Lili met through Tenha'a, she's done her best to look out for his well being and educate him on matters he inquires about, such as love. Knowing a few tidbits about his current health and situation, she's been doing some research into what can possibly be done to help him. Between her work in the Society and his involvements in other matters, assisting him hasn't been as large of a priority. Recently, she learned that he found a cure which brought her happiness to know that perhaps now he could live a long and healthy life.

♥●[[Locke Rinannis]]: She had seen this man when he was around one of the free company houses next to Blacktalon, though never spoke to him or approached him. Later, she heard he was looking for work and offered him a job at the Society. He's one of her most quiet employees, and as a result she actively tries to drag him around the others and be social. His polite demeanor and timidity charms her, and she finds him rather attractive though she values him as a friend and workmate moreso then anything.

''●''[[Mouse Wytchwood]]: A miqo'te girl with odd origins and green hair, Lili has always regarded the girl with motherly concern and attention. From watching her from afar or explaining terms and concepts she does not easily grasp or helping with her hair. She knows enough of Mouse's backstory to keep her eye on the girl when she's able to, and to try and guide harm out of her way.

''●''[[Nymira Valeroyant]]: One of the members of the Society and its' main healer, Nym is not only a good friend of Lili's but also one of her officers to help keep the Society running smoothly.

''●''[[Rock Shattermountain]]: A Highlander Lili has recently met when helping with the Pumpkin Cafe opening night. He also is a friend of her adopted son, Ado. After a night out together, he confessed to feelings of a more romantic nature, and the two have been slowly getting to know one another from there. He is also the one that gave her a little pet fawn whom she affectionately calls Dot. As their interractions have progressed, as well as his hints and confessions to seeing Lili as a prospective wife, it left her flattered by his intense emotions. While she still cares for him, they have drifted into more of a close friendship.

●[[Tendha'a Rendha]]: A male Miqo'te whom Lili met shortly after the creation of the Vanguard. The two quickly became friends and confidants, and he is the mate of T'shina Vashka. Since Lili and C'kayah started seeing one another, neither of the two have spoken much and he never said a word when he officially left the Society with T'shina and a few others.

''●''●[[Toff Vaughn]]: One of Ado's original guardians, Lili went to Toff and Katiti before she formally adopted Ado. While she respects the man, his childish bouts of attitude test the limits of her temper, including with how he has grown the habit lately of flirting with taken women. Whether he seems to know they're taken or not.

''●''●[[Togy Brandmakt]]: A previous lover, the two seperated due to Togy's wanderings and traveling keeping them apart moreso then together. While not on bad terms, his unstable nature and her mixed responses to his off days makes their interractions a hit-or-miss.

●[[T'shina Vashka]]: A young woman Lili regards as a friend, the recent interractions Lili has had with C'kayah has strained their relationship. Afterwards, the two didn't speak for a while and had one rather large argument that Tenha'a even became part that drove Lili away emotionally. Things never fully recovered after that, and when finding out that Lili and C'kayah were still together, she resigned from the Society.

●[[U'zhan Tia]]: A Miqo'te that Lili met due to his associations with T'shina, he asked Lili to go adventuring with him. Shortly afterwards, he stopped speaking with her. Having gotten the impression he was very much like the womanizing 'Nunh' types he claimed to dislike so much, Lili has had very little desire to rekindle a friendship. With his mating to one of her employees, Liandri, she is slowly getting more accustomed to seeing the man hanging around the Society grounds.

== History/Timeline ==

=== 1544-1559 Childhood/adolescence ===

Born an only child, Lili had a comfortable life with her parents living in Ul'dah. Taking frequent trips to the countryside and the desert to look for new herbs and roots and other things that were in demand or that her parents needed to discover. They met a variety of people and went a variety places before Lili even learned how to walk, though their home territory was always Ul'dah and the Thanalans. Around the time Lili was just turning five, her parents decided to relocate to La Noscea and start maping and surveying the lush island terrain. While on the cargo ship to Limsa Lominsa, the Altairs discovered a tiny bundle that was wailing and screaming and covered in bloodied rags. A newborn Miqo'te child, still covered in the blood of labor pains, though with no mother in sight. No one on the ship knew where she came from, and eventually Lili's parents made her part of the family and named her Rahsha.

Time passed easily in La Noscea. Lili treasured little Rahsha as if she was a blood sister. The tail and ears were only a cute little addition Lili liked to play with. Around the time she was eight and Rahsha was barely three, a family moved in nearby from Ala Mhigo with a single child of their own. A dark skinned, blonde haired, red eyed little prankster of a boy named Ghislan Nightwing. He was immidiately taken with Lili, even as a young boy, and showed it in his typical fashion of flipping her skirts, pulling on her head, and throwing sand and mud balls at he face. This usually earned him retaliation of equal brutality by Lili, with assistance from little Rahsha while their parents looked on with affection and amusement.

The years passed without incident. The comings and goings of the outside world seemed far away from Lili. Her life consisted of her family and Ghislan, and it seemed to be all she needed. As Ghislan and Lili got older, they went from children to friends, and before long, they were fawning over one another in the typical girlish and boyish fashions. Shortly after Lili's fourteenth birthday gathering, their love for one another was too much to be contained (in their young eyes at least). Following their coupling, Lili realized she was pregnant, and the two quickly escaped into the night to find the closest Priestess of Menphina to bless a union between them. Their elopement was received with a measure of shock and surprise that was quickly welcomed by all, save for Rahsha. Feeling that her sister abandoned her, the little Miqo'te never quite outgrew such feelings.

And thus began the life of Mrs. Lilithium Nightwing.

=== 1559-1569 Lilithium Amal'thea Nightwing ===

The married life was one Lili slipped into with ease. Shortly after turning fifteen summers, she gave birth to Khavan Amadeus Nightwing, who looked more like his father then anything else. Despite being young, they were hard working with Lili spending the majority of her time as a house wife taking care of their son with the aide of both of their parents. While Rahsha was loving to a degree to Khavan, she was still distant with her sister. It was something that, while Lili mourned for the lack of emotion she got from her, she couldn't focus on too deeply and still provide the needed care for her family.

During the first few years of their marriage, Ghislan continued to grow. Taller and taller and taller, reaching well past the average height for a Highlander. While it certainly got attention in a crowd and delighted Lili as well, it caught the eye of a few mercenary groups who saw great potential. Soon, he was recruited and cycled through a few companies who paid well and the work was mostly geared towards training. It brought in enough profit that Lili and Ghislan built their family home from the ground up. A beautiful, pale stoned cottage melded with shells from the nearby shore.

Throwing a grand celebration with friends to honor the new homestead, everyone (even Lili) drank in good cheer. One man amoungst them, however, took advantage of the situation. A long time friend of the couples' who joined Ghislan as a healer in some of his fights and jobs, his poor health would be the death of him soon and they all knew it. Amore Silverlark was his name, and he was the only living member of his family. Determined to not leave this world without carrying out his family name, he guided a very intoxicated Lili to a back room to take advantage, and succeeded with getting her pregnant. Overcome by guilt, he confessed to Ghislan who nearly killed him on the spot were it not for Lili intervening. Barely able to let it pass, Ghislan agreed to curb his animosity while it was discussed on what to do. A few weeks later, Amore succumbed to his illness and passed away, leaving Lili and Ghislan with two choices: Keep the illegitimate children, or find a way to terminate the pregnancy.

Months later, Deisarameda and Sarameda Silverlark were born. In honor of Amore and Ghislan's more happy history together, they kept the surname and Ghislan raised them as his own. Sadly, they inherited their father's illness and were in poor health as children and even into their now adult life.

Shortly after the girls were born, Lili's parents died abruptly in a house fire. Mere days later, Rahsha disappeared with what little belongings she covered from the fire. To this day, Lili has rarely seen sight of her adopted sister and has heard rumors that she retreated to the Shroud to perhaps find clues to her true family.

The years passed without incident. Ghislan put aside his mercenary life to join the military efforts around La Noscea and even beyond. During one particular assignment he was doing freelance for the Immortal Flames, they were attacked by Garleans in which Ghislan was captured and taken away. There was never a body recovered, and Lili was wracked by grief for a number of years. Even with her children there as support, it slowly became accepted that Ghislan was likely dead and never returning. Her soulmate, the love of her life, the father of her children, was gone. There was no more to be done.

And so, life went on.

=== 1569/0-Present Calamity ===

Lili ended up retaking her maiden name of Altair a few years after Ghislan passed, not feeling right baring the name of her dead husband. The day of the Calamity, Lili and her three children visited the empty grave on a little cliff over looking the sea that was dedicated to Ghislan. All four watched in complete horror as the world around them was torn to bits and land and buildings became decimated. Thankfully, their home remained intact and they suffered no severe losses. Lili focused more on her alchemical talents to help locals and those in the cities while making a little extra money for herself and her family. Within the last two years, her children grew up into beautiful, capable young adults. All three starting to go their own ways to build their new lives. It left Lili in an interesting position: After almost two decades of being married, being widowed, raising children...she now had time to focus on herself. A thrilling but frightening prospect she still has difficulty comprehending to this day.

Lili spent the first few months trying to find hobbies. Interests. Even dabbling in the company of courtesans to appease some of the loneliness seeped into her heart. Money that Ghislan left behind in his passing was enough to sustain her day-to-day life, but she still felt empty. Unfulfilled. Without her soulmate, she began to wonder if she'd eventually die of a broken heart the way some songbirds did when their mates passed. During a trip out by Moraby, Lili came across a Miqo'te man named [[Kolhi'to Embhre]] who passed along a possible business proposition at his free company, Black Sun Trading. Intrigued, Lili followed through on the matter and found employment working for the Silverstars, Matthias and Althena. It gave her a new purpose and new motivation, and during that time she met and had a brief coupling with one of her coworkers named [[Togy Brandmakt]]. While things didn't last, it opened a door for her she never thought she'd try again: Dating.

Work for Lili in Black Sun was usually fairly slow, with the occasional incident breaking up the monotony of each daily routine. But the people were interesting, and many interesting occurrences happened in the Bismarck from laughter to violence. Later, it was announced that the trading company would become an academy (Black Sun Academy), and Lili became the school receptionist. She kept an eye when she could on some of the more naive members and prospective students, including a young woman named [[Mouse Wytchwood]]. Through an old lover, Lili learned of Mouse's mysterious nature and past and vowed to keep it quiet and continue to help watching the girl from afar. Her focus became the school, as well as finding ways to relieve herself of her loneliness. She took her alchemy back up again, as well as continued her parents' legacy and proficiency in botany.

More time passed with very little incident. For a period, Lili was surrounded by an influx of interested parties who wished to start relationships with her. Only one caught her interest in the end, a miqo'te man she met through Kolhi'to named [[Darturu Torlan]]. Charmed and taken in by his good manners, wit, and appearence, he soon became a regular part of her life. And soon, a significant other. Shortly after this her youngest daughter, Sarameda, became ill. Needing constant care and attention, Lili took an extended period of time to be with her daughter and away from the world. Including away from Darturu.

Shortly after Sara finally recovered, Lili heard everyone had relocated to Ul'dah to start up a new company with Kolhi'to as head of the organization. A mercenary group called the Blacktalon Vanguard, and Darturu was his partner. Lili relocated so as to help with the group, as well as be supportive of Dart. While the relationship with Darturu didn't last and they eventually parted ways, she still met many new people and still talks to quite a few even after she left the Vanguard to start her own group, the Free Wing Society. During this time she met a young lalachild named [[Adokenai Kodomo]], a resident tot at the Quicksand that seemed to be cared after by Momodi and the adventurers that inhabited the place. So taken by him, she decided to adopt the boy as her own and the announcement was made at the opening of the Pumpkin Cafe. There, she met two people: [[Rock Shattermountain]] and [[Sarial Hawke]], both of whom took a liking to the woman and her charms. They later joined the Society, along with others that Lili knew from Blacktalon and beyond.

Also during this time, she met a man named [[C'kayah Tia]] who supplied with her alchemical regents that she was having a hard time getting a hold of. The attraction between the two was almost instant, and at the end of the night Lili decided to give him a link to her personal pearl. Not expecting to hear from him for quite some time (if ever), Lili was surprised when he got a hold of her almost immediately afterwards. It set off a chain of interactions that sent them down an unexpectedly passionate path of emotions and intimacy that Lili never seemed able to push aside. Even though at the begining she was wary, he made her feel like she could take a chance. It led her to meeting even more people, like [[Kenthy Pennyfeather]] and [[Miah Polaali]], and eventually led to her and Kayah becoming mates. While their relationship was 'open' and unconventional, she also took in a lover named [[Kaiten Skyborn]] while C'kayah took in his own interests.

The Society continued to thrive, though some of her friendships suffered as a product of her relationship with C'kayah. Her long standing friendship with [[T'shina Vashka]] and [[Tenha'a Rendha]] being the primary ones, as their dislike of C'kayah and vehemence against Lili being with him led to them recently leaving the Society. While this happened, Lili remained firm in her decision to spend her future with the male. Life continued to change, and still does to this day. Most recently she and C'kayah have become engaged, she has offered her and the Society's aid in the Doman refugee matters, and continues raising and caring after Ado.

:-Lili is very kind and affectionate to most people she meets. That doesn't necessarily mean she's flirting with you. 
:-I tend to ignore or shut down individuals who get upset OOC about not being romantically involved with Lili and/or not getting the oppurtunity. She didn't pick you so there's probably a reason. Get over it.

=== General ===

'''Lilithium Altair (Lil-ith-ium Ah-l-tair) '''is a older Hyur midlander who is often seen in and around Ul'dah and various other parts of Eorzea. Her maternal nature and affectionate disposition leaves her well liked by most who come across her. Widowed three years before the Calamity and with her three children all grown and out of the house as of roughly a year ago, Lili finds that she's able to focus on herself and her own happiness for the first time since her teens. It's left her with many doorways of oppurtunity to choose from, some full of light and adventure while others harbor a darker purpose...

Recently, she has become the owner of a staffing company known as the Free Wing Society and adopted a little boy named Adokenai. On top of that, she has opened her heart that led to avenues she never dared dream were possible. She currently has a mate/fiance (C'kayah Tia), and has been pursuing various interests that range from people to books to trying her hand at the aetheric arts.

'''Note: Lili is able to see the aether of various individuals she meets. They manifest as light and colors, and I will sometimes whisper people OOC to determine what their aether is like so Lili can react or adjust accordingly.'''

=== Appearance ===

[[File:LiliSelf.png|none|LiliSelf.png]]

Standing at 5 fulm and 4 ilm, Lili is used to seeing the world from the shorter side of things. She used to wear her pale blonde hair long and nearly to her elbows, but almost two moons ago she chopped it rather short. Recently, she's grown it out again. Her eyes are very light green with a silvery cast to the color to give it an odd shimmering quality. While her features deceive others of her true age, she bares what marks she has with pride: Some crows feet at the corner of her eyes that show when she laughs, and similar lines at the corner of her lips that only start to show when she is smiling broadly. Having bared three children (two of which were twins), she was left with rather shapely hips and added curves that she had not possessed in her youth. One of the physical features most noticed by some who meet Lili is her rather large bust despite her small size. It usually causes her a myriad of problems, as some of her shorter Miqo'te friends and Lalafell companions sometimes get suffocated when she hugs them. The rest of her is well toned from the muscle and strenght it takes to wield her axe and fist weapons, and sunkissed from her years by the shores of Limsa or the sands of Ul'dah. Around her neck is a long chain with little silver fingerbells attached to it, and on her ring finger looks to be a wedding or engagement ring of some kind.

[[File:LiliandWhisper2.jpg|none|LiliandWhisper2.jpg]]

=== Behavior ===

Having gotten pregnant at fourteen and raising or looking after her children and those of others left Lili with a maternal nature that has been driven down to the core of her very being. She tends to look out for those around her, especially those that she feels a soft spot for, or those around her children's age (teens to early twenties range). Though this maternal drive of hers doesn't make her a pushover in the least, as it is possible to ignite her ire with the right buttons being pushed. Over all, she's calm and even tempered and usually the voice of reason for those around her. Ever one to play devil's advocate.

== Combat ==

=== General ===

Lili hasn't had much of a need to show her skills publically, but in the few times she's sparred with friends she's shown a great aptitude for a martial arts style of combat. Her fists, being her primary weapon, are usually not the thing to worry about. They sometimes serve as a mere distraction for her rather powerful legs to catch someone off guard. When she does happen to use her axe, it's an interesting sight since some of the weaponry are almost as big as she is. Yet she yields them with ease, using all her force with each blow. She fights with a certain level of honor, though if the situation should call for it she won't be afraid to play dirty.

== Tendencies ==

[[File:LiliandAdo3.png]]

Always one for trying and learning new things, Lili spends much of her idle time active in one way or another. If she's not relaxing in the Quicksand or the occasional visit to the Drowning Wench, she'll be home or out and about doing some kind of activity or socializing.

=== Family ===

●Ghislan Nightwing (deceased): Lili's late husband who went MIA during an assignment against the Garleans. After no body being found over the last near decade he's been gone, everyone has safely assumed he is dead and Lili no longer mourns her first and only true love. He was also of Ala Mhigan descent and large for a Highlander (7 fulms).

''●''[[Adokenai Kodomo]]: A young Lalachild who Lili met at the Quicksand one day. Since meeting, Lili had adopted the little boy as her own. He even calls her 'Mom' regularly, and comes running to her whenever he sees her. Usually when seen together, the little boy is being held by his new mother or playing around some where near by.

''●''Khavan Nightwing: Lili's oldest child and oldest son. At nineteen years of age, nearing twenty, Khavan is engaged to a male elezen and usually bothers Lili for wedding preperation.

''●''Sarameda Silverlark: Youngest twin daughter of Lilithium Altair and Amore Silverlark.

''●''Deisarameda Silverlark: Oldest twin daughter of Lilithium Altair and Amore Silverlark.

●Rahsha Altair: A Sunseeker miqo'te that Lili's parents found when Lili was only five. Abandoned on a supply ship, no one knows her tribal origin and could never relocate birth parents. Rahsha and Lili grew apart after Lili left home, and now the two rarely see one another.

''●''Andromeda and Reiko Altair (deceased): Lili's parents died shortly after the twins were born in a simple but tragic fire. Both were botanists who were unmatched in their knowledge of the land and its bountiful treasures.

=== Other Relationships ===

''●''[[Aedan Mathis]]: On her way to gather herbs in the Sylphlands, she came across a Hyur slumped over his faithful chocobo. Bloodied and unconscious, Lili took him to the nearby Sanctum of the Twelve and managed to save his life. While the two aren't in close contact, she sees him sporadically and keep in the back of her mind his offer to look after her children as a way of thanks for her helping him.

''●''[[Aya Foxheart]]: The Quicksand's favorite barmaid, Lili worked alongside C'kayah to help Aya with some personal problems, and offered the woman multiple safe places to hide away at should she had needed it. Afterwards, she hasn't seen much of her, though that hasn't stopped the affection she began to feel towards the woman.

''♥●''[[Azeiox Nelles]]: An elezen Lili met one day at the Quicksand who always seems to be looking out for her son and letting him right on his shoulder without batting an eye. Intimidating at first, she later found his more quiet nature to be comforting and enjoys spending time with him when she can. The nature of their relationship to outsiders appears friendly, though if there is anything else going on they certainly don't show it. In private they made the decision to become lovers, and developments are still very fresh and new between them.

♥●[[Chokho Viqqoh]]: A Keeper woman Lili met at the fishfry event the Society put on, she flirted rather heavily with Lili and even poured a cup of water on her to see her wet in her bikkini. They met up later when they found out they were neighbors, and have started a comfortable friendship. Chokho has made her attraction known, and Lili returned the sentiment. Their lives keep them busy and often apart, though they make time to spend with one another when they can.

''♥●''[[C'kayah Tia]]: A Miqo'te who once supplied Lili with alchemical materials she was having a hard time acquiring, he was smitten with her from the start and she rejected his advances over and over again. Instead, teasing him with playful retorts and equally playful skepticism. They ended up being around one another off and on as time went on, and over time Lili came to see that his feelings and gestures were indeed sincere and affectionate by his repeat efforts to prove such. Since asking her to be his mate, and she in turn asking him to marry her, the two have been through great obstacles that have made them stronger then ever. When seen together, Lili couldn't be happier.

''●''[[Darturu Torlan]]: Darturu and Lili were once mated, but his co-creation of the Blacktalon Vanguard made balancing work and a relationship difficult. The two eventually decided to part ways, still caring for one another, but now left to their own devices. As time has passed and seeing less and less of him, her feelings had softened to the point where romance is no longer something she entertains with the Miqo'te. They have not seen one another since she left the Vanguard, and she seems to have no desire to change that.

''●''[[Dheina Tayuun]]: A young Miqo'te she met when coming back to Ul'dah via her previous mate, Darturu. They keep in touch sporadically, and have a pleasent friendship.

♥●[[Graeldelon Bloodrage]]: One of the newer members of the Society, Lili doesn't know the young man very well. However she can occasionally be caught looking at him with a faint and curious little smile as well as fussing over recent wounds he suffered as part of a training exercise.

''●''●[[Kagewoe Erasus]]: Fiance of Nymira's, Kage is also one of her officers. While she is not close to the male, she is confident in his abilities to help her and Nym keep everyone in line and together. Recent events with the Society have the two walking on thin ice around one another and generally not around one another.

''●''[[Kal Numara]]: A Highlander woman who is also a friend of Lili's. Usually teasing her, and constantly referring to her as 'Mama' or 'Mama Lili'. Such teasings are usually met with Lili retaliating (playfully so).

[[Kenthy Pennyfeather|''●''Kenthy Pennyfeather]]: A miqo'te Lili met through her interractions with C'kayah and the Morbolvines, she's grown a light friendship with the woman, as well as quite a bit of respect due to the help that was given to her during her experience in the form of a Moonkeeper. Despite her sassy and slightly abrasive nature, Lili finds her pleasent. During a series of discussions involving Kenthy and C'kayah's desire to add intimacy to their current relationship, Kenthy lashed out at Lili in a way that had her feeling almost hostile towards the woman. Later on, the two women managed to patch things up and Lili gave Kenthy her blessing to be involved with C'kayah. She doesn't see the redhead regular, but should one ask she considers her a friend.

♥●[[Kaiten Skyborn]]: Lili and this hyur were involved for an extended period as lovers and friends. Due to less and less time spent together and Lili's recent engagement to C'kayah, the two have drifted apart. While she still loves the man deeply, she has taken strides to try and move forward and onward. However, she still thinks of him often.

♥●[[Kaohastraal Aeseroix]]:A very large roe man that was introduced to Lili via T'shina at the fish fry event. His Garlean name took her aback at first, but when they started talking he eased her mind and explained some of his story. He's admitted to having an interest in her on many levels, and they've agreed to simply get to know one another. Though it's hard to know what Lili is thinking when they're seen together.

''●''[[Katiti Kati]]: Lili met this Lalafell around the time she met Ado, who served alongside Toff as one of the Lalachild's unofficial guardians. She eventually joined the Society, being hired as Ado's official teacher. Lili trusts her judgement, but worries with how much she stresses over things all the time.

[[Kolhi'to Embhre|''●''Kolhi'to Embhre]]: Creator of the Blacktalon Vanguard and Lili's former employer, Lili has known Kol for quite some time. However, they seem neither friendly nor hostile. Instead only polite when meeting or speaking in passing. More often then not Kol's grumpy attitude tends to irk Lili even if she may not always show it.

''●''[[Leon Maxwell]]: A young boy Lili met through Tenha'a, she's done her best to look out for his well being and educate him on matters he inquires about, such as love. Knowing a few tidbits about his current health and situation, she's been doing some research into what can possibly be done to help him. Between her work in the Society and his involvements in other matters, assisting him hasn't been as large of a priority. Recently, she learned that he found a cure which brought her happiness to know that perhaps now he could live a long and healthy life.

♥●[[Locke Rinannis]]: She had seen this man when he was around one of the free company houses next to Blacktalon, though never spoke to him or approached him. Later, she heard he was looking for work and offered him a job at the Society. He's one of her most quiet employees, and as a result she actively tries to drag him around the others and be social. His polite demeanor and timidity charms her, and she finds him rather attractive though she values him as a friend and workmate moreso then anything.

''●''[[Mouse Wytchwood]]: A miqo'te girl with odd origins and green hair, Lili has always regarded the girl with motherly concern and attention. From watching her from afar or explaining terms and concepts she does not easily grasp or helping with her hair. She knows enough of Mouse's backstory to keep her eye on the girl when she's able to, and to try and guide harm out of her way.

''●''[[Nymira Valeroyant]]: One of the members of the Society and its' main healer, Nym is not only a good friend of Lili's but also one of her officers to help keep the Society running smoothly.

''●''[[Rock Shattermountain]]: A Highlander Lili has recently met when helping with the Pumpkin Cafe opening night. He also is a friend of her adopted son, Ado. After a night out together, he confessed to feelings of a more romantic nature, and the two have been slowly getting to know one another from there. He is also the one that gave her a little pet fawn whom she affectionately calls Dot. As their interractions have progressed, as well as his hints and confessions to seeing Lili as a prospective wife, it left her flattered by his intense emotions. While she still cares for him, they have drifted into more of a close friendship.

[[Sarial Hawke|''●''Sarial Hawke]]: A female Highlander that met Lili at the Pumpkin Cafe opening. She gave Lili a thirty thousand gil tip both out of appreciation of her services as a waitress and to help her kickstart things with her adoption of Adokenai. Since then the woman has blatantly admitted her desire for Lili, though after Lili chose C'kayah as her mate, the two haven't spoken much and Sarial has kept her distance. Over time, Lili has had people come to her about some of the less then savory things Sarial has supposedly said about her, though she seems to pay it no mind.

●[[Tendha'a Rendha]]: A male Miqo'te whom Lili met shortly after the creation of the Vanguard. The two quickly became friends and confidants, and he is the mate of T'shina Vashka. Since Lili and C'kayah started seeing one another, neither of the two have spoken much and he never said a word when he officially left the Society with T'shina and a few others.

''●''●[[Toff Vaughn]]: One of Ado's original guardians, Lili went to Toff and Katiti before she formally adopted Ado. While she respects the man, his childish bouts of attitude test the limits of her temper, including with how he has grown the habit lately of flirting with taken women. Whether he seems to know they're taken or not.

''●''●[[Togy Brandmakt]]: A previous lover, the two seperated due to Togy's wanderings and traveling keeping them apart moreso then together. While not on bad terms, his unstable nature and her mixed responses to his off days makes their interractions a hit-or-miss.

●[[T'shina Vashka]]: A young woman Lili regards as a friend, the recent interractions Lili has had with C'kayah has strained their relationship. Afterwards, the two didn't speak for a while and had one rather large argument that Tenha'a even became part that drove Lili away emotionally. Things never fully recovered after that, and when finding out that Lili and C'kayah were still together, she resigned from the Society.

●[[U'zhan Tia]]: A Miqo'te that Lili met due to his associations with T'shina, he asked Lili to go adventuring with him. Shortly afterwards, he stopped speaking with her. Having gotten the impression he was very much like the womanizing 'Nunh' types he claimed to dislike so much, Lili has had very little desire to rekindle a friendship.

== History/Timeline ==

=== 1544-1559 Childhood/adolescence ===

Born an only child, Lili had a comfortable life with her parents living in Ul'dah. Taking frequent trips to the countryside and the desert to look for new herbs and roots and other things that were in demand or that her parents needed to discover. They met a variety of people and went a variety places before Lili even learned how to walk, though their home territory was always Ul'dah and the Thanalans. Around the time Lili was just turning five, her parents decided to relocate to La Noscea and start maping and surveying the lush island terrain. While on the cargo ship to Limsa Lominsa, the Altairs discovered a tiny bundle that was wailing and screaming and covered in bloodied rags. A newborn Miqo'te child, still covered in the blood of labor pains, though with no mother in sight. No one on the ship knew where she came from, and eventually Lili's parents made her part of the family and named her Rahsha.

Time passed easily in La Noscea. Lili treasured little Rahsha as if she was a blood sister. The tail and ears were only a cute little addition Lili liked to play with. Around the time she was eight and Rahsha was barely three, a family moved in nearby from Ala Mhigo with a single child of their own. A dark skinned, blonde haired, red eyed little prankster of a boy named Ghislan Nightwing. He was immidiately taken with Lili, even as a young boy, and showed it in his typical fashion of flipping her skirts, pulling on her head, and throwing sand and mud balls at he face. This usually earned him retaliation of equal brutality by Lili, with assistance from little Rahsha while their parents looked on with affection and amusement.

The years passed without incident. The comings and goings of the outside world seemed far away from Lili. Her life consisted of her family and Ghislan, and it seemed to be all she needed. As Ghislan and Lili got older, they went from children to friends, and before long, they were fawning over one another in the typical girlish and boyish fashions. Shortly after Lili's fourteenth birthday gathering, their love for one another was too much to be contained (in their young eyes at least). Following their coupling, Lili realized she was pregnant, and the two quickly escaped into the night to find the closest Priestess of Menphina to bless a union between them. Their elopement was received with a measure of shock and surprise that was quickly welcomed by all, save for Rahsha. Feeling that her sister abandoned her, the little Miqo'te never quite outgrew such feelings.

And thus began the life of Mrs. Lilithium Nightwing.

=== 1559-1569 Lilithium Amal'thea Nightwing ===

The married life was one Lili slipped into with ease. Shortly after turning fifteen summers, she gave birth to Khavan Amadeus Nightwing, who looked more like his father then anything else. Despite being young, they were hard working with Lili spending the majority of her time as a house wife taking care of their son with the aide of both of their parents. While Rahsha was loving to a degree to Khavan, she was still distant with her sister. It was something that, while Lili mourned for the lack of emotion she got from her, she couldn't focus on too deeply and still provide the needed care for her family.

During the first few years of their marriage, Ghislan continued to grow. Taller and taller and taller, reaching well past the average height for a Highlander. While it certainly got attention in a crowd and delighted Lili as well, it caught the eye of a few mercenary groups who saw great potential. Soon, he was recruited and cycled through a few companies who paid well and the work was mostly geared towards training. It brought in enough profit that Lili and Ghislan built their family home from the ground up. A beautiful, pale stoned cottage melded with shells from the nearby shore.

Throwing a grand celebration with friends to honor the new homestead, everyone (even Lili) drank in good cheer. One man amoungst them, however, took advantage of the situation. A long time friend of the couples' who joined Ghislan as a healer in some of his fights and jobs, his poor health would be the death of him soon and they all knew it. Amore Silverlark was his name, and he was the only living member of his family. Determined to not leave this world without carrying out his family name, he guided a very intoxicated Lili to a back room to take advantage, and succeeded with getting her pregnant. Overcome by guilt, he confessed to Ghislan who nearly killed him on the spot were it not for Lili intervening. Barely able to let it pass, Ghislan agreed to curb his animosity while it was discussed on what to do. A few weeks later, Amore succumbed to his illness and passed away, leaving Lili and Ghislan with two choices: Keep the illegitimate children, or find a way to terminate the pregnancy.

Months later, Deisarameda and Sarameda Silverlark were born. In honor of Amore and Ghislan's more happy history together, they kept the surname and Ghislan raised them as his own. Sadly, they inherited their father's illness and were in poor health as children and even into their now adult life.

Shortly after the girls were born, Lili's parents died abruptly in a house fire. Mere days later, Rahsha disappeared with what little belongings she covered from the fire. To this day, Lili has rarely seen sight of her adopted sister and has heard rumors that she retreated to the Shroud to perhaps find clues to her true family.

The years passed without incident. Ghislan put aside his mercenary life to join the military efforts around La Noscea and even beyond. During one particular assignment he was doing freelance for the Immortal Flames, they were attacked by Garleans in which Ghislan was captured and taken away. There was never a body recovered, and Lili was wracked by grief for a number of years. Even with her children there as support, it slowly became accepted that Ghislan was likely dead and never returning. Her soulmate, the love of her life, the father of her children, was gone. There was no more to be done.

And so, life went on.

=== 1569/0-Present Calamity ===

Lili ended up retaking her maiden name of Altair a few years after Ghislan passed, not feeling right baring the name of her dead husband. The day of the Calamity, Lili and her three children visited the empty grave on a little cliff over looking the sea that was dedicated to Ghislan. All four watched in complete horror as the world around them was torn to bits and land and buildings became decimated. Thankfully, their home remained intact and they suffered no severe losses. Lili focused more on her alchemical talents to help locals and those in the cities while making a little extra money for herself and her family. Within the last two years, her children grew up into beautiful, capable young adults. All three starting to go their own ways to build their new lives. It left Lili in an interesting position: After almost two decades of being married, being widowed, raising children...she now had time to focus on herself. A thrilling but frightening prospect she still has difficulty comprehending to this day.

Lili spent the first few months trying to find hobbies. Interests. Even dabbling in the company of courtesans to appease some of the loneliness seeped into her heart. Money that Ghislan left behind in his passing was enough to sustain her day-to-day life, but she still felt empty. Unfulfilled. Without her soulmate, she began to wonder if she'd eventually die of a broken heart the way some songbirds did when their mates passed. During a trip out by Moraby, Lili came across a Miqo'te man named [[Kolhi'to Embhre]] who passed along a possible business proposition at his free company, Black Sun Trading. Intrigued, Lili followed through on the matter and found employment working for the Silverstars, Matthias and Althena. It gave her a new purpose and new motivation, and during that time she met and had a brief coupling with one of her coworkers named [[Togy Brandmakt]]. While things didn't last, it opened a door for her she never thought she'd try again: Dating.

Work for Lili in Black Sun was usually fairly slow, with the occasional incident breaking up the monotony of each daily routine. But the people were interesting, and many interesting occurrences happened in the Bismarck from laughter to violence. Later, it was announced that the trading company would become an academy (Black Sun Academy), and Lili became the school receptionist. She kept an eye when she could on some of the more naive members and prospective students, including a young woman named [[Mouse Wytchwood]]. Through an old lover, Lili learned of Mouse's mysterious nature and past and vowed to keep it quiet and continue to help watching the girl from afar. Her focus became the school, as well as finding ways to relieve herself of her loneliness. She took her alchemy back up again, as well as continued her parents' legacy and proficiency in botany.

More time passed with very little incident. For a period, Lili was surrounded by an influx of interested parties who wished to start relationships with her. Only one caught her interest in the end, a miqo'te man she met through Kolhi'to named [[Darturu Torlan]]. Charmed and taken in by his good manners, wit, and appearence, he soon became a regular part of her life. And soon, a significant other. Shortly after this her youngest daughter, Sarameda, became ill. Needing constant care and attention, Lili took an extended period of time to be with her daughter and away from the world. Including away from Darturu.

Shortly after Sara finally recovered, Lili heard everyone had relocated to Ul'dah to start up a new company with Kolhi'to as head of the organization. A mercenary group called the Blacktalon Vanguard, and Darturu was his partner. Lili relocated so as to help with the group, as well as be supportive of Dart. While the relationship with Darturu didn't last and they eventually parted ways, she still met many new people and still talks to quite a few even after she left the Vanguard to start her own group, the Free Wing Society. During this time she met a young lalachild named [[Adokenai Kodomo]], a resident tot at the Quicksand that seemed to be cared after by Momodi and the adventurers that inhabited the place. So taken by him, she decided to adopt the boy as her own and the announcement was made at the opening of the Pumpkin Cafe. There, she met two people: [[Rock Shattermountain]] and [[Sarial Hawke]], both of whom took a liking to the woman and her charms. They later joined the Society, along with others that Lili knew from Blacktalon and beyond.

Also during this time, she met a man named [[C'kayah Tia]] who supplied with her alchemical regents that she was having a hard time getting a hold of. The attraction between the two was almost instant, and at the end of the night Lili decided to give him a link to her personal pearl. Not expecting to hear from him for quite some time (if ever), Lili was surprised when he got a hold of her almost immediately afterwards. It set off a chain of interactions that sent them down an unexpectedly passionate path of emotions and intimacy that Lili never seemed able to push aside. Even though at the begining she was wary, he made her feel like she could take a chance. It led her to meeting even more people, like [[Kenthy Pennyfeather]] and [[Miah Polaali]], and eventually led to her and Kayah becoming mates. While their relationship was 'open' and unconventional, she also took in a lover named [[Kaiten Skyborn]] while C'kayah took in his own interests.

The Society continued to thrive, though some of her friendships suffered as a product of her relationship with C'kayah. Her long standing friendship with [[T'shina Vashka]] and [[Tenha'a Rendha]] being the primary ones, as their dislike of C'kayah and vehemence against Lili being with him led to them recently leaving the Society. While this happened, Lili remained firm in her decision to spend her future with the male. Life continued to change, and still does to this day. Most recently she and C'kayah have become engaged, she has offered her and the Society's aid in the Doman refugee matters, and continues raising and caring after Ado.

:-Lili is very kind and affectionate to most people she meets. That doesn't necessarily mean she's flirting with you. 
:-I tend to ignore or shut down individuals who get upset OOC about not being romantically involved with Lili and/or not getting the oppurtunity. She didn't pick you so there's probably a reason. Get over it. 
:-I'm very nice OOC so don't hesitate to approach for random RP, ideas, or if you want to know more about the Society!

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background:#613232;font-size:14px;color:#a24f4f;">Basic Info</div>===
<table style="position:center;" width="75%">
Azeiox is one to be reclusive and keeps his distance from people with reasons of his own. He holds a neutral standing with others within Ul'dah. Strong and silent some may say. But the few that do know him understand that there is more than meets the eye with the Elezen sitting within the corner as the group converses.

Within an instant, he can change into a man with no morals, no fear, no regrets and nothing to lose, willing to cut down anyone and anything that would stand in his way of success. While he doesn't look much like it, he practices the fighting style of pugilist and the studies of thaumaturge magicks. One would think that the man is studying such things to grow stronger yet truly, he is harboring dark secrets and tries to control the shadows that follow him.

He is one to take up jobs of different sorts, so long as they do not clash with current interests. He has been seen to use different types of weapons but favors fists weapons most of all yet most are made by himself.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #613232;font-size:14px;color:#a24f4f;">Appearance & Personality</div>===
: Holding the height of 6'8, the Elezen is on the slender yet athletic side. His skin is of a greyish tone, showing he is a Duskwight lineage. While his torso is not being covered by longer clothing, a tribal looking tattoo is etched across his flesh, a reminder of his past. On his back rests the burned scar in the shape of a spider, covering his whole back. Naturally, he is an Albino and his natural hair color is of a pure white shade with sanguine stained orbs and ivory skin. However, thanks to the help of Nymira, he is able to actually appear as a Duskwight, changing his skin tone to the shade it is now and dark hair. He was unable to change his eye color and due to an accident, he now must wear a patch over his left eye, which was left nearly blinded due to the wound.

: Quiet, thinking thoroughly and distant are few words that can describe one side. Those who truly know him and seen the other side would call him brutally honest, unforgiving destructive and a bit on the sadistic side when he is pushed past his limits. Depending on what the subject is would differ which side you get. He isn't known to smile or laugh yet is rather insightful.

: If not locked within a library or training, he can be seen hanging about the Free Wings Society's Company Housing or is possibly off training within Gridania or Thanalan.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #613232;font-size:14px;color:#a24f4f;">Skills/Abilities/Equipment</div>===

:Aetherical Skills: His skills with Thaumaturge magic grows with each day as he learns more but understands the dangerous of pushing things too far. He is skilled with the basics of the magic yet is still seen as a novice compared to others.

:'Crimson' and 'Tear'": The two fist weapons he has been seen to use on numerous occasions. The weapons are more so daggers with curled tips made to dig into the flesh of the victim melded into the ebony metal. There is a slight slight, giving the weapon the appearance of 'claws'. Both weapons are identical to one another. The origins of the weapons remain unknown to even the man wielding them.

:Knives : Holds a few daggers within his belt for easy and quick use.

:Photogenic Memory: A natural gift he holds and uses it well, especially when reading of new things such as items, places and weapons.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #613232;font-size:14px;color:#a24f4f;">Biography</div>===

Azeiox held a rather normal childhood. Aside from the usual hardships of any child, Duskwight or not, things were rather normal and something he was quite content with. His father, Vinic Nelles, trained him to use weapons at a younger age, believing it would be best to learn young. Even if his mother, Zenel Nelles, didn't quite agree with it, she allowed it. He'd return home with a wound every now and then but nothing to be alarmed by. She took it upon herself to show her son what magic she did know, which was a mixture of different types but nothing too strong or harmful. He grew up being well educated from his family and the friends they held.

He has been one to keep to himself and quiet since he was young yet others simply associated it with the fact that he was simply a shy child, which wasn't far from the truth. He was never one to go out and try to make friends, being content with the stories he read in books. Yet it was within the contents of his home did he meet the first person that approached him willingly, neither of them knowing the plans that was already set within motion.

Her name was Synarel Vastel, a young girl that was the same age as him. He remembered seeing her before, at a few gatherings his family attended. She was someone he would now call, being old enough to understand it, a rare beauty. She was a Duskwight Elezen as well with a fragile form. Her skin looked to be a light shade of grey and while she was within the sun, it was difficult to tell she was of Dusk lineage. Silver orbs with a touch of blue were like open doors and she greeted him with a smile. Even when he was young, he was taken aback by both her beauty and kindness. Her brother, Venar, which he too held the rare beauty to his sister, met Azeiox soon after. It was hard to tell the two apart, Venar and Synarel, when they were younger. The trio become close rather quickly and nearly inseparable. They discovered new things, taught and protected one another as they grew older. When they finally came to their adolescent years, they all knew each other from the inside out. Over their childhood, they met the Valeroyant and Shiran Family, their children being Nymira, Armand, and Erath from the Valeroyant, Shiran Mitsuki, Mizore and Airyn.

However, when the trio started to discover relationships with others of the opposite sex, Venar and Synarel were the ones to branch out. Azeiox was simply happy to be there for his friends and didn't jump into it quickly like his close friends have. His views of the opposite sex and even the same sex, was different than others. He didn't quite see men or women but merely people and what they were of instead of viewing them based off of sex. It was during this time and because of those views that he did discover feelings for one of his close friends, Venar. He was distant from it but Venar, who grew to become quite popular with women like his sister with men, knew what it was that he felt and even reacted on it. They held a relationship that only Synarel knew of and even approved of and, for awhile, living within simple happiness.

None of them knew what their family planned. It wasn't mentioned until Azeiox's age reached the late teens of his family's plan for him, which was to be married to Synarel. He couldn't go against his parent's wishes, not after how they have been so patient with him and nor could he harm the Vastel family either, people who he saw as family. Even Venar understood and stepped back, no matter how much it harmed them both. Synarel felt guilty but she, too, understood. Later within the year, they became married; Azeiox and Synarel Nelles.

Things went rather well for the years to come. They lived normal, quiet lives within the same area they grew up in but Synarel saw how much it hurt her now husband to be with her. Despite the feelings she held for him, it was her who suggested that Venar and Azeiox continued to be together within secret. It took awhile to convince him but soon, Az agreed. They continued once more with their relationship yet were even more careful then they were prior. It was during one of these secret meetings did they hear of these figures sweeping across the lands and left strange occurrences when they left. It wasn't long until their area decided to have people check the surrounding areas and held tight security to protect their people. Yet the close families rested a bit outside of the village itself and there came a time to where Synarel needed supplies. She was practicing Arcanist magic, took her studies from the old books seriously and even planned a trip to Limsa Lominsa. They heard of the warnings and rumors and Azeiox decided to go with her. Venar decided to go on ahead the night prior to make sure the path was clear of traps, tricks and these figures. The next day, they continued on with their plans, Az and Synarel took off.

They were careful and quiet and Synarel seemed rather calm and at peace. Az, on the other hand, didn't not let his walls fall down, holding claw like weapons, one of many his father taught him to use but was one he favored most. They managed to get to the village and left at dusk. He finally felt like he could breath and even joke with Synarel, continuing their plans for the Limsa Lominsa trip, the first and biggest mistake he made..

They were ambushed by Hyurs, or at least they appeared to be so, their bodies hidden behind cloaks and hoods yet lacked the tips within their hoods to indicate they were Elezen or Miqo'te. Their forms were smaller than a Roegyden but their presence still brought fear. Az quickly pulled Synarel close to him, looking around the area. They were completely surrounded. He leaned forward to whisper within Synarel's ear before they finally broke off of one another. She may not have been skilled with weapons like he was but she knew her spells well. They fought with the group, both calling out for Venar. Az was concentrating on the teachings of his father and taking out the beings, even if it were only for a few moments before he heard the cry of Synarel, something he never heard before. He quickly came to a halt and turned towards her, seeing her being held with a dagger to her neck. It was the first time he has seen her look so scared or even cried. He had to make a difficult choice; Lay his weapons down and give into the beings or take the chance of charging for them.

He chooses to lay his weapons down.

Soon after, he was jumped by a member and felt the prick of a needle seeping into the flesh of his neck. He quickly threw the person off of him but fell to his knees. He felt as if his body was slowly being engulfed by fire from the inside out, sending wave after wave of pain. He struggled to get up, hearing Synarel call out his name, begging the others to leave him alone. His vision became blurred and his breath grew heavy and labored. His pain has only begun, he realized, after he felt physical heat near his back before he felt the scorching pain of actual burning, smelling flesh being cooked. He heard the beings speak but he was too distracted on fighting the unknown substance that was given to him, moving to lay on his back no matter how painful it was, raising his hands to grasp for whatever he could. The laughter of the beings and the cries of Synarel echoed within his mind. He cried out in pain as two others came forth to bind him, his finger landed on the claws and something within him snapped...

He managed to get to his feet, causing one of the men to mock him. When the two continued to move forward, once close enough, he cut them down where they stood, finding strength from an unknown area. The echos of laughter turned into cries of horror as he brought down one person right after the other, shoving his claws through the other's chest, arms, legs, anything he could reach. He couldn't stop himself, as if he lost full control of his body and all he could do was watch the massacre unfold. It wasn't long that Synarel's cries were silenced and Az felt her hands reached up to touch his chest and cheek. Her eyes held something he didn't understand or what to make of. She spoke but he couldn't make the words out. He didn't have to look down to know that she was penetrated by his claws and his arm quickly drew back. Even though he commanded his body to stop, commanded to pick her up and take her somewhere to get help, his body released the claws from her chest after her arms fell and her breathing became slower and slower. He carried her, resting her over his shoulder.

After the horror he witnessed, he committed, he traveled to where their homes were and continued with the massacre, taking out anyone who stood in his way, friend or foe alike. It pained him, to hear the cries of both his families, the begging of him to stop, the cries for the recently deceased before being silenced themselves. The last to be taken out by his hands was his own parents. He will never forget the look upon his father's face before the light left his eyes but what stuck with him most was the last words of his mother, her face stained with tears; ''"Why, Azeiox."''

Az finally managed to break away from the spell that held his body, the fire dying down. He didn't understand why he did this, what happened and when he was laying Synarel down, why he didn't put her out of her painful misery. He broke down before her, the first time he has shed any tears, holding her close to his chest. She was muttering, her hand resting on his chest before her words grew slow. Her final words was the muttering of his name, sounding like she was trying to get his attention then finally passed. He didn't leave the home for hours, sobbing and begging them to return, that he was sorry and that he wanted to go back. He forgot of his own pain for the hours that came, resting her within his lap and held her close, petting her head and sobbed. It took him a while to finally stand, holding her close and rested her outside. Slowly, he moved the corpses of his loved ones outside.

The rain came forth, lightening striking the sky and thunder rumbled. He felt the soothing touch of the rain upon him, soothing the burn on his back but it was as if his body became completely numb. He grabbed a shovel and was digging graves for his departed family, moving like a corpse himself. He carefully placed them within their graves and before he covered their bodies with the dirt, he looked to them all carefully. The last person to be covered with earth was his wife, Synarel. Before he covered her, he held her close within his grasp, placed a kiss on her forehead and finished the burial. The rain washed the blood away from his body but he still felt it clinging to his skin.

It all seemed so.. Strange. He didn't understand many things and was surprised his body was within his control. On the outside, he left no trace of emotion or concern yet on the inside, he was broken. He left the home afterwards, leaving behind the life he once knew but never forgetting. He brought little with him, not much filling the satchel he carried within his arms. He didn't stop his travels for days on end before he finally came to a small village, located within the Black Shroud. He was very off putting to the others, his body concealed with a cloak and hood. Never speaking, never raising his head, he drifted from village to village before entering Gridania. He heard of the rumors from those wretched beings and plotted to search for them, make them pay for what they did to him. That is.. If they were the ones to truly blame..

Az continued his travels, following any word on these beings.
Days turned to weeks.
Weeks turned to months.
And months turned to years.
Even after the calamity, he searched and within his travels, saw more pain and misery. There were times where he blacked out and awoke somewhere new, his body drenched within crimson once more. It wasn't long until they became more and more frequent. He wandered streets, deserts, and forests until he stumbled upon two people he remembered within his past; Nymira Valeroyant and the Shiran siblings, Airyn and Mizore. Nymira was the first to learn of his acts, or 'sins' he called them and was the one that assisted him with stabling himself through Alchemy and was the one to create the tattoo he now wears, the tattoo working as a seal. The Shiran siblings didn't find out until he departed for a short period for Thanalan, to search the streets of Ul'dah for the beings, where he searches to this day.

From then on, it wasn't uncommon to see Az at the bar either talking or helping Kagewoe manage the bar so he could have a break for once. He became indebted to Kagewoe after an incident with his student, Ruby, and the malfunction of a item. When Kagewoe departed, he was there for him, even retrieving his items from the company house despite what the members threatened to do or how much they complain. He is one of the main reasons Az visits the Free Wings Society's company home.

Even though the two hit it off rather well, she didn't manage to get close to him until a sparring match that occurred between the two and she saw the side he tried to hide. They shared their nights within the Black Shroud beneath the stars and soon after became lovers. When he proposed to her, he held similar markings on his face to show their bond. However, when the Company got wind of their relationship, everything changed. To get away from the drama, the two staged an argument to make it appear that they were parting ways and meet up later on, making up things as they 'argued', she brought up somethings that he trusted her worth, sharing his deepest and darkest sins to the company.

=== General ===

'''Lilithium Altair (Lil-ith-ium Ah-l-tair) '''is a older Hyur midlander who is often seen in and around Ul'dah and various other parts of Eorzea. Her maternal nature and affectionate disposition leaves her well liked by most who come across her. Widowed three years before the Calamity and with her three children all grown and out of the house as of roughly a year ago, Lili finds that she's able to focus on herself and her own happiness for the first time since her teens. It's left her with many doorways of oppurtunity to choose from, some full of light and adventure while others harbor a darker purpose...

Recently, she has become the owner of a staffing company known as the Free Wing Society and adopted a little boy named Adokenai. On top of that, she has opened her heart that led to avenues she never dared dream were possible. She currently has a mate/fiance (C'kayah Tia), and has been pursuing various interests that range from people to books to trying her hand at the aetheric arts.

'''Note: Lili is able to see the aether of various individuals she meets. They manifest as light and colors, and I will sometimes whisper people OOC to determine what their aether is like so Lili can react or adjust accordingly.'''

=== Appearance ===

[[File:LiliSelf.png|none|LiliSelf.png]]

Standing at 5 fulm and 4 ilm, Lili is used to seeing the world from the shorter side of things. She used to wear her pale blonde hair long and nearly to her elbows, but almost two moons ago she chopped it rather short. Recently, she's grown it out again. Her eyes are very light green with a silvery cast to the color to give it an odd shimmering quality. While her features deceive others of her true age, she bares what marks she has with pride: Some crows feet at the corner of her eyes that show when she laughs, and similar lines at the corner of her lips that only start to show when she is smiling broadly. Having bared three children (two of which were twins), she was left with rather shapely hips and added curves that she had not possessed in her youth. One of the physical features most noticed by some who meet Lili is her rather large bust despite her small size. It usually causes her a myriad of problems, as some of her shorter Miqo'te friends and Lalafell companions sometimes get suffocated when she hugs them. The rest of her is well toned from the muscle and strenght it takes to wield her axe and fist weapons, and sunkissed from her years by the shores of Limsa or the sands of Ul'dah. Around her neck is a long chain with little silver fingerbells attached to it, and on her ring finger looks to be a wedding or engagement ring of some kind.

=== Behavior ===

Having gotten pregnant at fourteen and raising or looking after her children and those of others left Lili with a maternal nature that has been driven down to the core of her very being. She tends to look out for those around her, especially those that she feels a soft spot for, or those around her children's age (teens to early twenties range). Though this maternal drive of hers doesn't make her a pushover in the least, as it is possible to ignite her ire with the right buttons being pushed. Over all, she's calm and even tempered and usually the voice of reason for those around her. Ever one to play devil's advocate.

== Combat ==

=== General ===

Lili hasn't had much of a need to show her skills publically, but in the few times she's sparred with friends she's shown a great aptitude for a martial arts style of combat. Her fists, being her primary weapon, are usually not the thing to worry about. They sometimes serve as a mere distraction for her rather powerful legs to catch someone off guard. When she does happen to use her axe, it's an interesting sight since some of the weaponry are almost as big as she is. Yet she yields them with ease, using all her force with each blow. She fights with a certain level of honor, though if the situation should call for it she won't be afraid to play dirty.

== Tendencies ==

[[File:LiliandAdo3.png]]

Always one for trying and learning new things, Lili spends much of her idle time active in one way or another. If she's not relaxing in the Quicksand or the occasional visit to the Drowning Wench, she'll be home or out and about doing some kind of activity or socializing.

=== Family ===

●Ghislan Nightwing (deceased): Lili's late husband who went MIA during an assignment against the Garleans. After no body being found over the last near decade he's been gone, everyone has safely assumed he is dead and Lili no longer mourns her first and only true love. He was also of Ala Mhigan descent and large for a Highlander (7 fulms).

''●''[[Adokenai Kodomo]]: A young Lalachild who Lili met at the Quicksand one day. Since meeting, Lili had adopted the little boy as her own. He even calls her 'Mom' regularly, and comes running to her whenever he sees her. Usually when seen together, the little boy is being held by his new mother or playing around some where near by.

''●''Khavan Nightwing: Lili's oldest child and oldest son. At nineteen years of age, nearing twenty, Khavan is engaged to a male elezen and usually bothers Lili for wedding preperation.

''●''Sarameda Silverlark: Youngest twin daughter of Lilithium Altair and Amore Silverlark.

''●''Deisarameda Silverlark: Oldest twin daughter of Lilithium Altair and Amore Silverlark.

●Rahsha Altair: A Sunseeker miqo'te that Lili's parents found when Lili was only five. Abandoned on a supply ship, no one knows her tribal origin and could never relocate birth parents. Rahsha and Lili grew apart after Lili left home, and now the two rarely see one another.

''●''Andromeda and Reiko Altair (deceased): Lili's parents died shortly after the twins were born in a simple but tragic fire. Both were botanists who were unmatched in their knowledge of the land and its bountiful treasures.

=== Other Relationships ===

''●''[[Aedan Mathis]]: On her way to gather herbs in the Sylphlands, she came across a Hyur slumped over his faithful chocobo. Bloodied and unconscious, Lili took him to the nearby Sanctum of the Twelve and managed to save his life. While the two aren't in close contact, she sees him sporadically and keep in the back of her mind his offer to look after her children as a way of thanks for her helping him.

''●''[[Aya Foxheart]]: The Quicksand's favorite barmaid, Lili worked alongside C'kayah to help Aya with some personal problems, and offered the woman multiple safe places to hide away at should she had needed it. Afterwards, she hasn't seen much of her, though that hasn't stopped the affection she began to feel towards the woman.

♥●[[Azeiox Nelles]]: An elezen Lili met one day at the Quicksand who always seems to be looking out for her son and letting him right on his shoulder without batting an eye. Intimidating at first, she later found his more quiet nature to be comforting and enjoys spending time with him when she can. The nature of their relationship to outsiders appears friendly, though if there is anything else going on their certainly don't show it.

♥●[[Chokho Viqqoh]]: A Keeper woman Lili met at the fishfry event the Society put on, she flirted rather heavily with Lili and even poured a cup of water on her to see her wet in her bikkini. They met up later when they found out they were neighbors, and have started a comfortable friendship. Chokho has made her attraction known, and Lili returned the sentiment. Their lives keep them busy and often apart, though they make time to spend with one another when they can.

''♥●''[[C'kayah Tia]]: A Miqo'te who once supplied Lili with alchemical materials she was having a hard time acquiring, he was smitten with her from the start and she rejected his advances over and over again. Instead, teasing him with playful retorts and equally playful skepticism. They ended up being around one another off and on as time went on, and over time Lili came to see that his feelings and gestures were indeed sincere and affectionate by his repeat efforts to prove such. Since asking her to be his mate, and she in turn asking him to marry her, the two have been through great obstacles that have made them stronger then ever. When seen together, Lili couldn't be happier.

''●''[[Darturu Torlan]]: Darturu and Lili were once mated, but his co-creation of the Blacktalon Vanguard made balancing work and a relationship difficult. The two eventually decided to part ways, still caring for one another, but now left to their own devices. As time has passed and seeing less and less of him, her feelings had softened to the point where romance is no longer something she entertains with the Miqo'te. They have not seen one another since she left the Vanguard, and she seems to have no desire to change that.

''●''[[Dheina Tayuun]]: A young Miqo'te she met when coming back to Ul'dah via her previous mate, Darturu. They keep in touch sporadically, and have a pleasent friendship.

♥●[[Graeldelon Bloodrage]]: One of the newer members of the Society, Lili doesn't know the young man very well. However she can occasionally be caught looking at him with a faint and curious little smile as well as fussing over recent wounds he suffered as part of a training exercise.

''●''●[[Kagewoe Erasus]]: Fiance of Nymira's, Kage is also one of her officers. While she is not close to the male, she is confident in his abilities to help her and Nym keep everyone in line and together. Recent events with the Society have the two walking on thin ice around one another and generally not around one another.

''●''[[Kal Numara]]: A Highlander woman who is also a friend of Lili's. Usually teasing her, and constantly referring to her as 'Mama' or 'Mama Lili'. Such teasings are usually met with Lili retaliating (playfully so).

[[Kenthy Pennyfeather|''●''Kenthy Pennyfeather]]: A miqo'te Lili met through her interractions with C'kayah and the Morbolvines, she's grown a light friendship with the woman, as well as quite a bit of respect due to the help that was given to her during her experience in the form of a Moonkeeper. Despite her sassy and slightly abrasive nature, Lili finds her pleasent. During a series of discussions involving Kenthy and C'kayah's desire to add intimacy to their current relationship, Kenthy lashed out at Lili in a way that had her feeling almost hostile towards the woman. Later on, the two women managed to patch things up and Lili gave Kenthy her blessing to be involved with C'kayah. She doesn't see the redhead regular, but should one ask she considers her a friend.

♥●[[Kaiten Skyborn]]: Lili and this hyur were involved for an extended period as lovers and friends. Due to less and less time spent together and Lili's recent engagement to C'kayah, the two have drifted apart. While she still loves the man deeply, she has taken strides to try and move forward and onward. However, she still thinks of him often.

♥●[[Kaohastraal Aeseroix]]:A very large roe man that was introduced to Lili via T'shina at the fish fry event. His Garlean name took her aback at first, but when they started talking he eased her mind and explained some of his story. He's admitted to having an interest in her on many levels, and they've agreed to simply get to know one another. Though it's hard to know what Lili is thinking when they're seen together.

''●''[[Katiti Kati]]: Lili met this Lalafell around the time she met Ado, who served alongside Toff as one of the Lalachild's unofficial guardians. She eventually joined the Society, being hired as Ado's official teacher. Lili trusts her judgement, but worries with how much she stresses over things all the time.

[[Kolhi'to Embhre|''●''Kolhi'to Embhre]]: Creator of the Blacktalon Vanguard and Lili's former employer, Lili has known Kol for quite some time. However, they seem neither friendly nor hostile. Instead only polite when meeting or speaking in passing. More often then not Kol's grumpy attitude tends to irk Lili even if she may not always show it.

''●''[[Leon Maxwell]]: A young boy Lili met through Tenha'a, she's done her best to look out for his well being and educate him on matters he inquires about, such as love. Knowing a few tidbits about his current health and situation, she's been doing some research into what can possibly be done to help him. Between her work in the Society and his involvements in other matters, assisting him hasn't been as large of a priority. Recently, she learned that he found a cure which brought her happiness to know that perhaps now he could live a long and healthy life.

♥●[[Locke Rinannis]]: She had seen this man when he was around one of the free company houses next to Blacktalon, though never spoke to him or approached him. Later, she heard he was looking for work and offered him a job at the Society. He's one of her most quiet employees, and as a result she actively tries to drag him around the others and be social. His polite demeanor and timidity charms her, and she finds him rather attractive though she values him as a friend and workmate moreso then anything.

''●''[[Mouse Wytchwood]]: A miqo'te girl with odd origins and green hair, Lili has always regarded the girl with motherly concern and attention. From watching her from afar or explaining terms and concepts she does not easily grasp or helping with her hair. She knows enough of Mouse's backstory to keep her eye on the girl when she's able to, and to try and guide harm out of her way.

''●''[[Nymira Valeroyant]]: One of the members of the Society and its' main healer, Nym is not only a good friend of Lili's but also one of her officers to help keep the Society running smoothly.

''●''[[Rock Shattermountain]]: A Highlander Lili has recently met when helping with the Pumpkin Cafe opening night. He also is a friend of her adopted son, Ado. After a night out together, he confessed to feelings of a more romantic nature, and the two have been slowly getting to know one another from there. He is also the one that gave her a little pet fawn whom she affectionately calls Dot. As their interractions have progressed, as well as his hints and confessions to seeing Lili as a prospective wife, it left her flattered by his intense emotions. While she still cares for him, they have drifted into more of a close friendship.

[[Sarial Hawke|''●''Sarial Hawke]]: A female Highlander that met Lili at the Pumpkin Cafe opening. She gave Lili a thirty thousand gil tip both out of appreciation of her services as a waitress and to help her kickstart things with her adoption of Adokenai. Since then the woman has blatantly admitted her desire for Lili, though after Lili chose C'kayah as her mate, the two haven't spoken much and Sarial has kept her distance. Over time, Lili has had people come to her about some of the less then savory things Sarial has supposedly said about her, though she seems to pay it no mind.

●[[Tendha'a Rendha]]: A male Miqo'te whom Lili met shortly after the creation of the Vanguard. The two quickly became friends and confidants, and he is the mate of T'shina Vashka. Since Lili and C'kayah started seeing one another, neither of the two have spoken much and he never said a word when he officially left the Society with T'shina and a few others.

''●''●[[Toff Vaughn]]: One of Ado's original guardians, Lili went to Toff and Katiti before she formally adopted Ado. While she respects the man, his childish bouts of attitude test the limits of her temper, including with how he has grown the habit lately of flirting with taken women. Whether he seems to know they're taken or not.

''●''●[[Togy Brandmakt]]: A previous lover, the two seperated due to Togy's wanderings and traveling keeping them apart moreso then together. While not on bad terms, his unstable nature and her mixed responses to his off days makes their interractions a hit-or-miss.

●[[T'shina Vashka]]: A young woman Lili regards as a friend, the recent interractions Lili has had with C'kayah has strained their relationship. Afterwards, the two didn't speak for a while and had one rather large argument that Tenha'a even became part that drove Lili away emotionally. Things never fully recovered after that, and when finding out that Lili and C'kayah were still together, she resigned from the Society.

●[[U'zhan Tia]]: A Miqo'te that Lili met due to his associations with T'shina, he asked Lili to go adventuring with him. Shortly afterwards, he stopped speaking with her. Having gotten the impression he was very much like the womanizing 'Nunh' types he claimed to dislike so much, Lili has had very little desire to rekindle a friendship.

== History/Timeline ==

=== 1544-1559 Childhood/adolescence ===

Born an only child, Lili had a comfortable life with her parents living in Ul'dah. Taking frequent trips to the countryside and the desert to look for new herbs and roots and other things that were in demand or that her parents needed to discover. They met a variety of people and went a variety places before Lili even learned how to walk, though their home territory was always Ul'dah and the Thanalans. Around the time Lili was just turning five, her parents decided to relocate to La Noscea and start maping and surveying the lush island terrain. While on the cargo ship to Limsa Lominsa, the Altairs discovered a tiny bundle that was wailing and screaming and covered in bloodied rags. A newborn Miqo'te child, still covered in the blood of labor pains, though with no mother in sight. No one on the ship knew where she came from, and eventually Lili's parents made her part of the family and named her Rahsha.

Time passed easily in La Noscea. Lili treasured little Rahsha as if she was a blood sister. The tail and ears were only a cute little addition Lili liked to play with. Around the time she was eight and Rahsha was barely three, a family moved in nearby from Ala Mhigo with a single child of their own. A dark skinned, blonde haired, red eyed little prankster of a boy named Ghislan Nightwing. He was immidiately taken with Lili, even as a young boy, and showed it in his typical fashion of flipping her skirts, pulling on her head, and throwing sand and mud balls at he face. This usually earned him retaliation of equal brutality by Lili, with assistance from little Rahsha while their parents looked on with affection and amusement.

The years passed without incident. The comings and goings of the outside world seemed far away from Lili. Her life consisted of her family and Ghislan, and it seemed to be all she needed. As Ghislan and Lili got older, they went from children to friends, and before long, they were fawning over one another in the typical girlish and boyish fashions. Shortly after Lili's fourteenth birthday gathering, their love for one another was too much to be contained (in their young eyes at least). Following their coupling, Lili realized she was pregnant, and the two quickly escaped into the night to find the closest Priestess of Menphina to bless a union between them. Their elopement was received with a measure of shock and surprise that was quickly welcomed by all, save for Rahsha. Feeling that her sister abandoned her, the little Miqo'te never quite outgrew such feelings.

And thus began the life of Mrs. Lilithium Nightwing.

=== 1559-1569 Lilithium Amal'thea Nightwing ===

The married life was one Lili slipped into with ease. Shortly after turning fifteen summers, she gave birth to Khavan Amadeus Nightwing, who looked more like his father then anything else. Despite being young, they were hard working with Lili spending the majority of her time as a house wife taking care of their son with the aide of both of their parents. While Rahsha was loving to a degree to Khavan, she was still distant with her sister. It was something that, while Lili mourned for the lack of emotion she got from her, she couldn't focus on too deeply and still provide the needed care for her family.

During the first few years of their marriage, Ghislan continued to grow. Taller and taller and taller, reaching well past the average height for a Highlander. While it certainly got attention in a crowd and delighted Lili as well, it caught the eye of a few mercenary groups who saw great potential. Soon, he was recruited and cycled through a few companies who paid well and the work was mostly geared towards training. It brought in enough profit that Lili and Ghislan built their family home from the ground up. A beautiful, pale stoned cottage melded with shells from the nearby shore.

Throwing a grand celebration with friends to honor the new homestead, everyone (even Lili) drank in good cheer. One man amoungst them, however, took advantage of the situation. A long time friend of the couples' who joined Ghislan as a healer in some of his fights and jobs, his poor health would be the death of him soon and they all knew it. Amore Silverlark was his name, and he was the only living member of his family. Determined to not leave this world without carrying out his family name, he guided a very intoxicated Lili to a back room to take advantage, and succeeded with getting her pregnant. Overcome by guilt, he confessed to Ghislan who nearly killed him on the spot were it not for Lili intervening. Barely able to let it pass, Ghislan agreed to curb his animosity while it was discussed on what to do. A few weeks later, Amore succumbed to his illness and passed away, leaving Lili and Ghislan with two choices: Keep the illegitimate children, or find a way to terminate the pregnancy.

Months later, Deisarameda and Sarameda Silverlark were born. In honor of Amore and Ghislan's more happy history together, they kept the surname and Ghislan raised them as his own. Sadly, they inherited their father's illness and were in poor health as children and even into their now adult life.

Shortly after the girls were born, Lili's parents died abruptly in a house fire. Mere days later, Rahsha disappeared with what little belongings she covered from the fire. To this day, Lili has rarely seen sight of her adopted sister and has heard rumors that she retreated to the Shroud to perhaps find clues to her true family.

The years passed without incident. Ghislan put aside his mercenary life to join the military efforts around La Noscea and even beyond. During one particular assignment he was doing freelance for the Immortal Flames, they were attacked by Garleans in which Ghislan was captured and taken away. There was never a body recovered, and Lili was wracked by grief for a number of years. Even with her children there as support, it slowly became accepted that Ghislan was likely dead and never returning. Her soulmate, the love of her life, the father of her children, was gone. There was no more to be done.

And so, life went on.

=== 1569/0-Present Calamity ===

Lili ended up retaking her maiden name of Altair a few years after Ghislan passed, not feeling right baring the name of her dead husband. The day of the Calamity, Lili and her three children visited the empty grave on a little cliff over looking the sea that was dedicated to Ghislan. All four watched in complete horror as the world around them was torn to bits and land and buildings became decimated. Thankfully, their home remained intact and they suffered no severe losses. Lili focused more on her alchemical talents to help locals and those in the cities while making a little extra money for herself and her family. Within the last two years, her children grew up into beautiful, capable young adults. All three starting to go their own ways to build their new lives. It left Lili in an interesting position: After almost two decades of being married, being widowed, raising children...she now had time to focus on herself. A thrilling but frightening prospect she still has difficulty comprehending to this day.

Lili spent the first few months trying to find hobbies. Interests. Even dabbling in the company of courtesans to appease some of the loneliness seeped into her heart. Money that Ghislan left behind in his passing was enough to sustain her day-to-day life, but she still felt empty. Unfulfilled. Without her soulmate, she began to wonder if she'd eventually die of a broken heart the way some songbirds did when their mates passed. During a trip out by Moraby, Lili came across a Miqo'te man named [[Kolhi'to Embhre]] who passed along a possible business proposition at his free company, Black Sun Trading. Intrigued, Lili followed through on the matter and found employment working for the Silverstars, Matthias and Althena. It gave her a new purpose and new motivation, and during that time she met and had a brief coupling with one of her coworkers named [[Togy Brandmakt]]. While things didn't last, it opened a door for her she never thought she'd try again: Dating.

Work for Lili in Black Sun was usually fairly slow, with the occasional incident breaking up the monotony of each daily routine. But the people were interesting, and many interesting occurrences happened in the Bismarck from laughter to violence. Later, it was announced that the trading company would become an academy (Black Sun Academy), and Lili became the school receptionist. She kept an eye when she could on some of the more naive members and prospective students, including a young woman named [[Mouse Wytchwood]]. Through an old lover, Lili learned of Mouse's mysterious nature and past and vowed to keep it quiet and continue to help watching the girl from afar. Her focus became the school, as well as finding ways to relieve herself of her loneliness. She took her alchemy back up again, as well as continued her parents' legacy and proficiency in botany.

More time passed with very little incident. For a period, Lili was surrounded by an influx of interested parties who wished to start relationships with her. Only one caught her interest in the end, a miqo'te man she met through Kolhi'to named [[Darturu Torlan]]. Charmed and taken in by his good manners, wit, and appearence, he soon became a regular part of her life. And soon, a significant other. Shortly after this her youngest daughter, Sarameda, became ill. Needing constant care and attention, Lili took an extended period of time to be with her daughter and away from the world. Including away from Darturu.

Shortly after Sara finally recovered, Lili heard everyone had relocated to Ul'dah to start up a new company with Kolhi'to as head of the organization. A mercenary group called the Blacktalon Vanguard, and Darturu was his partner. Lili relocated so as to help with the group, as well as be supportive of Dart. While the relationship with Darturu didn't last and they eventually parted ways, she still met many new people and still talks to quite a few even after she left the Vanguard to start her own group, the Free Wing Society. During this time she met a young lalachild named [[Adokenai Kodomo]], a resident tot at the Quicksand that seemed to be cared after by Momodi and the adventurers that inhabited the place. So taken by him, she decided to adopt the boy as her own and the announcement was made at the opening of the Pumpkin Cafe. There, she met two people: [[Rock Shattermountain]] and [[Sarial Hawke]], both of whom took a liking to the woman and her charms. They later joined the Society, along with others that Lili knew from Blacktalon and beyond.

Also during this time, she met a man named [[C'kayah Tia]] who supplied with her alchemical regents that she was having a hard time getting a hold of. The attraction between the two was almost instant, and at the end of the night Lili decided to give him a link to her personal pearl. Not expecting to hear from him for quite some time (if ever), Lili was surprised when he got a hold of her almost immediately afterwards. It set off a chain of interactions that sent them down an unexpectedly passionate path of emotions and intimacy that Lili never seemed able to push aside. Even though at the begining she was wary, he made her feel like she could take a chance. It led her to meeting even more people, like [[Kenthy Pennyfeather]] and [[Miah Polaali]], and eventually led to her and Kayah becoming mates. While their relationship was 'open' and unconventional, she also took in a lover named [[Kaiten Skyborn]] while C'kayah took in his own interests.

The Society continued to thrive, though some of her friendships suffered as a product of her relationship with C'kayah. Her long standing friendship with [[T'shina Vashka]] and [[Tenha'a Rendha]] being the primary ones, as their dislike of C'kayah and vehemence against Lili being with him led to them recently leaving the Society. While this happened, Lili remained firm in her decision to spend her future with the male. Life continued to change, and still does to this day. Most recently she and C'kayah have become engaged, she has offered her and the Society's aid in the Doman refugee matters, and continues raising and caring after Ado.

== Character ==

=== General ===

Liandri was born V'lanya Mei, of the Vulture tribe. She always had a thirst for knowledge, and if any trade caravans were around, she’d likely trade whatever she could for some books. Inevitably enough, she became fascinated with the void and black magic, beginning to practice what she had learned in the books in her spare time. After a number of mishaps concerning her new found pastime, Liandri was exiled from her clan at a young age – and thus began a life of solitude. During her time in solitude, Liandri managed to pinpoint an aetheric tear within the Shroud, choosing to place her new, poorly constructed home on top of it. After moons of attempting to get it open – she summoned Kaohastraal, who would now be obliged to her. Due to her disruptions, however, a small Legion of Lohengarde has found her practices to be rather unnerving, and tried to destroy all her progress. Due to her sheer size, and child-like attitude at this point, one of the individuals bound her will, to ensure she could never reach that capacity again – or did he? Thus, her mind was fragmented into two parts – one being an innocent child she once embodied, and the other…well, is the original proprietor of her body. Kaelaesoix and Liandri managed to slay the majority of the unit, though paid a large price. 
After traveling through Eorzea for quite some time, the two found a place to stay. After a few moons had passed, the voidtouched found herself kidnapped and tortured with experimental Garlean methods. Through this, the corruption within her, and her aetheric abilities were stunted, leaving her combat and healing prowess useless. Due to the significant lack of aether, she began training in lancing and became a proprietor of a dragon soul and armour through rather manipulative means. 
Recent events have caused her to lose her dragon soul, though she still aims to keep the armour, despite lacking the power. She is currently cursed by strange means, with six moons to live (at the time of writing) and is currently looking for ways to alleviate her condition. Her aether is currently 'blocked off' -- though she is immune to varying forms of tempering.

=== Appearance ===

Liandri stands at 4 fulms 11 ilms, somewhat short for a miqo'te, she has a rather pale skin tone due to the fact she lived inside for her research for a number of years. Despite looking in her young to mid-twenties, her age is unknown, though speculated to be between nineteen and twenty. She was born the runt of the litter, but uses her small stature to aide her acrobatic and athletic ability. She has a slender frame, and it could easily be seen that she was previously malnourished for a number of years. From first glance, Liandri has fiery red hair, with hints of orange higlights in her hair. She has bright red eyes, that could be somewhat piercing, reflecting malice, hatred and also pure lust for draining the aether of other beings. On the left side of her face lies a previous aetheric tattoo that once glowed purple during the manipulation of void powers, since then is has burned into her face, leaving it to look like a brand. She has a scar across the bridge of her nose, and will likely tell a different story every time when asked about it.
Liandri has a small, black tattoo-like mark, circular in shape, with tiny tendrils darting outwards from the ring on her chest. It looks ornate and symbolic.

=== Personality ===

Liandri is commonly described as being a fiery individual, and it shows through her actions and temper. She's a very flirtatious individual, especially when concerning attractive male miqo'te. After a life in solitude, and consistent shunning, she's taken to playing with individual's - particularly using them for her own amusement and manipulation purposes. She's ever one to play Devil's advocate, especially when it comes to sexual endeavours and drinking. She has a low tolerance for childish people, despite showing some of those traits herself. She usually wears a rather devious or wry smirk, and is considered a troublemaker. She is known to currently fly off the handle within aggressive situations, becoming strangely entranced in somewhat of a frenzy of rage, and unrelenting. 
She has a lot of trouble concerning her lust for power, and believes for that to be her only purpose in life. Despite being drained of the majority of her aether and void corruption, she finds herself still drawn to the void in times of trouble. She is considered a neutral evil in terms of character alignment. She is extremely self-centered and has been known to engage in relationships to better advance herself in terms of power and hierarchy. Although she has an undeniable lust for power, she is willing to work with others, should they not impede her progress or advancement. She is willing to engage in illegal and legal activities, and a practiced liar. She is generally hard to read as a person, and her motives somewhat unknown. 
Usually a closed off individual, many do not know her true emotions, nor past. She consistently spins tales of lies and deceit to ensure people do not get close to her, as a relatively closed-off and emotionally numb individual, usually. She believes she has suffered enough without her lust for power, and does not wish for others to get close to her to bring her down further. In that regard, the only individual she would trust with any matter whatsoever, is Kaohastraal - the only individual she would even consider relaying her emotions to. 
Many of her 'disposable' allies are used to drain aether - namely choosing voidtouched. She uses the guise of 'helping' them rid of their curse, thus only fueling her power for when she can pursue her ambitions. If in a frenzy when draining aether, it could be fatal to the other, and perhaps even herself.

== Combat ==

Quite apt with lacing weapons, Liandri currently carries a rather ornate and deadly looking harpoon that can ignite with flames. The harpoon is also known for being coated in a bladewash that paralyses her victims. She is shown to be very proficient with her weapon, and have excellent lancing skills - usually fueled by the Dragoon armour she is wearing.
It is shown that Liandri doesn't rely on her lance alone. She is a capable and powerful fighter with remarkable speed and reflexes, easily dodging and counter-attacking with deadly results. Despite her general feelings in battle, she gives off no intent to kill when she fights, making it somewhat difficult for the enemy to sense her presence.

She generally tends to favour incorporating a rather acrobatic style that enables her to be somewhat evasive, yet aggressive. She favours to drain the enemies she may encounter of aether, weakening them to a state where she can absorb their aether into her own - thus powering herself.

=== General ===

She thrives in sowing fear and confusion with her enemies, and will rarely force a fight that's able to withstand her; preferring to attack the weak and frightened. She very rarely gives quarter to her enemies, and will rarely show any signs of mercy. Anyone that pleads for mercy are usually answered with mutilation and potentially painful death. There are no concepts of martial honour within her mind.

== Tendencies ==

=== Likes ===
::* Voidtouched - Generally speaking, Liandri has a respect and somewhat 'like' for those of her own kind. However, should they overtly state or show their true nature, she can become hostile towards them. She enjoys the varying styles in behaviour she has seen with her own kind, and generally feels as if she can relate to the majority. She enjoys their aggressive traits, and the level of 'respect' they seem to show, thinking they are perhaps more rational than what could be deemed mere 'mortals'.
::* Various alcoholic beverages - If not just for the taste, alcohol is a release, and an enabler for her rather erratic behaviour. She believes if someone notices that she's been drinking, or can smell she has - she has a free pass to fly off the handle at various individuals. Her favourite drinks are red wine and spiced rum, and can usually be smelt from her in the early evenings if she has been to the Quicksand or within the Free Company House.
::* Aggression - Strangely enough, this is a trait that she finds rather attractive in a sadistic way. Although others must be tactful in the way they display their aggression, she also enjoys taunting her enemies into somewhat of a 'bloodfrenzy'.

=== Dislikes ===
::* Voidsent - Liandri's general purpose within Eorzea is to garner more power, the voidsent themselves usually stand in her way. She generally believes them to be disorganised and lacking any cohesion to be able to get anything of worth done. While she obviously has a great deal of respect for them, she's usually killing them, than wrestling them under her power. She'll usually drain their aether, rather than send them straight back into the void.
::* Weakness - Those that do not show any great combat prowess or lack of tact in general usually get on the bad side of Liandri. She believes unintelligence is a weakness - and something that can easily be seen within Ul'dah.

=== Hobbies/Talents ===

== Relationships ==

=== Friends ===

[[Kaohstraal vas Aeseroix]] - Liandri's trusty companion. Likely the only individual that knows everything about her. He's there when she needs him. Although she trusts him completely, she cannot help but feel somewhat tense around him, as he's always trying to get her to return to her void-touched powers. Currently training her about Dark Knight's. The two met when she summoned Kaelaesoix from the void, and have been inseparable since, they faced an entire Lohengarde Legion together, however, their slight 'defeat' caused Liandri to become sealed within herself. He's watched her grow from a teenager to a young woman, and the two share a platonic love.

[[U'zhan Tia]] - U'zhan is currently Li's mate. She met him during a drinking game with some associates from the Morbolvine Clan, and instantly felt compelled to him, being physically open with him since. She enjoys his company far more than any others', and it's quite obvious to those that witness it. The two's relationship escalated when their flirtatious personalities instantly clashed - causing a great deal of sexual tension between the two. She believes him to be the most handsome, and beautiful miqo'te she's ever seen, both concerning his personality and aesthetics. After time, Li has been finding herself falling in love with the man, the situation only worsening as they spend time together, and even apart. The two continue to push at each other's buttons, in a vaguely good way; while he brings out the rather reluctant sweet-natured side of her, she brings out a darker side of him, causing a slight perfect mesh of personalities. Although he is an enabler to her terrible behaviour at times, she respects and loves the fact that despite her misdeeds, he is entirely supportive of her. He is currently living with her in The Goblet.

[[R'shenn Tia]] - A man Liandri met through Kaohastraal, the two sparred and she was impressed by his fighting style. The two have a very good friendly relationship, despite having a one-night stand, and many comment on how much they look alike. Liandri is always there for R'shenn when he needs her, if it's required, and he's done more than enough to support her. The two are actually estranged half-siblings, despite not actually knowing.

<div style="font-size: 12px"> '''''(WARNING: Liliana is a lore-breaking character; she came from the world of FFXI/Vana'diel. If you don't like these sorts of characters, I'd advise against interacting with her!)'''''

 '''Liliana Nazareth''' ''(Li-lee-ah-nuh Nah-zuh-re-th)'' is many things: a passionate, headstrong leader; a fierce but loyal (or mayhap both?) friend and lover; and a caring, loving, albeit sometimes forgetful mother. Abrasive in her aura around those she deems suspect, she is more than willing to open up when the occasion fancies; more often than not being a rather talkative, supportive sort while slipping in sly, acidic anecdotes about her distrust of those who worship Hydaelyn. Though not an Ascian by any means, she would much rather be independent of the two major deities, preferring to refer to any sort of victory achieved as being done by her own talents.

 Considered among the valued members of the Scions, Liliana is one of the few that do possess the Echo and is highly sensitive to its effects, even after her post-amnesiac state. Regardless of her ability to sense many different things during its trigger, she has no idea how to control it. Also, sometimes the visions become so intense for her that she swears by the Twelve that she's lived through it--it definitely serves to mix up her stories, and may foster distrust in some when she means the exact opposite. </div>

==Character==
===Appearance===

<div style="font-size: 12px">Among her peers and even others, Liliana is considered of average height, though among women she errs more towards the tall side. This simple fact alone, though driven heavily by her personality, has caused her to act with more masculine chivalry, retaining a "knight's persona" throughout, though her looks are still very feminine, albeit not naturally so--meaning, she prides herself in taking care of her appearance, going great lengths to ensure that she is perceived as a woman; also, in part, due to this complex.

 Days in the Thanalan sun have finally given Lily color back to her skin; what was once milky pale is now sun-kissed caramel in tone. It is a great offset to her hair, of which the color is often the subject of (out of character) debate--some people perceive her as blonde, others say white, silver, or grey hair; some even go as far as to mix the two. Liliana's own opinion on this seems to fall on deaf ears, as whenever the subject is brought up within earshot, she ''insists'' that the color is classified as "wheat". Beyond all this is the structure of her eyes; an unnatural lilac in hue. However, this is the only thing that is special about them; Lily cannot do parlor tricks of illusion with them, nor do they glow in certain conditions. The most they do is change color according to mood or health; most often they slip into a misty grey. The only time that this color change deviates is when she abandons her self-control--foregoing the natural laws of anatomy in reference to eye color, they slip into a hazy amber tone, though the color has only been seen as flashes.

 A little under half a decade spent as a deckhand in Aleport has toned Liliana's physique, but the birth of her child Ella summarily "ruined" all of her hard work in losing the weight that she used to tote around. However, while only a little pudge remains, it has not affected Liliana in terms of physical ability--if anything, the change is now more cosmetic than anything (and she does happen to love the fact that her bosom is bigger since birth. Midlanders really get no love in that department). Also, like most people who fight and risk their lives on a daily basis, Liliana has scars and stories all her own. However, most of these scars are kept hidden from view under layers of clothing, and have only ever been seen by people who have found her in a state of undress. </div>

===Behavior===

<div style="font-size: 12px">Liliana has undergone a lot of personality changes in the last five or so years. Once a quiet, reticent, and skittish woman; in recent years, she has learned to open up and be more vocal with her feelings, and has allowed others to get closer to her. In the process, she has been deeply hurt by leaving her heart so exposed, which has caused her to become a bit more callous and biting with her words, but at the same time, her rather "real" way of speaking has caused her to earn some respect among her peers. Regardless of her forward way of speaking to others, Liliana does not wish to incite drama or infighting with others. Beyond all that, she is inquisitive, and wishes to partake in every onze of knowledge that she can from a given situation. More of an ambassador than an actual fighter, Liliana detests fighting without reason; if she is forced into a conflict in which words fail, however, she will not hesitate to draw her blade, brandish her lance, or open her book in order to stop it.

 When speaking, Liliana prefers to abolish most conjunctions and speaks with the utmost proper air, squaring her shoulders when speaking even to her closest companions. One could say that she speaks either like a noblewoman, or perhaps someone trained in the aspects of the theatre. Having spoken like this even while growing up, she could only guess that it is a permanent speech tic now, many years later. Try as she might to speak with a more 'common tongue', her proper dialect truly shines when she is upset or passionate about something. This little tidbit, however, is completely abandoned when she is exhausted or inebriated, or sometimes even when she wants to mask her identity; on one of these three occurrences, she slips back into the Lominsan accent she learned ages ago but never quite picked it up herself through consistent effort and trying. It doesn't last long, however, when she is trying to simply hide herself: she absolutely hates the way she sounds when she speaks with that tone.
</div>

<div style="font-size: 12px">
:'''Habits:'''
::* Ever since the birth of baby Ella, Liliana has taken to imbibing in alcohol once again. Her favorites are the ale served at the Quicksands, and naturally the mead served in the tavern at Aleport. When she's thoroughly hazed, she loves doling out relationship advice to people...even, and ''especially'', to those who don't need nor want it.
::* Liliana speaks with an almost ''too'' proper dialect; belying that she may have been of a high authoritative standing in her past. Even among her closest friends, she still retains an air of nobility about her speech.
::* Keeping in with the customs of being unable to mind her own business, Liliana finds it almost a habit to fluster, annoy, or embarrass her friends. However, while she calls it a mere quirk, others call it her most annoying trait.</div>

<table width="800" border="0" style="position:center">
<tr>
<td valign="top" width="300" scope="col"><div align="left" style="font-size:11px">
:'''Likes:'''
:* Sweets; more specifically, apple tarts and rolanberry cheesecake. Regardless of which tavern she frequents, they always seem to have an extra one or the other lying in wait for her. It is honestly one of the quicker ways to her heart.
:* Exceptional leather and clothworking. Obsessed with intricate details, such garments make up more than three-quarters of her armory and personal armoire. Even her retainers are rather sickened by just how much she has in comparison to actual armor.
:* Caring for chocobos, especially her own, Hildegarde. She likes to believe that she is an expert in the field, and offers advice when asked. She is a bit zealous when it comes to the proper care and breeding techniques of the birds, but she honestly means well.
:* Oftentimes, she finds herself lost in the sea of stars that is Thanalan's and La Noscea's night skies. Liliana often wonders if one of those stars is the returning point of her home...though, she has a sinking feeling that there isn't much to go back to.
:* Any sort of small being that gives off an ethereal glow, such as fireflies or plasmoids. She could stare at them for hours.
:* Theatrics. She's often inspired by the bards frequenting Gridania or Mor Dhona and, if inebriated enough, would probably jump aboard the bar and begin to lavishly act out a scene from a long-forgotten play.
:* The 'pirate dialect', but only when used by others and not herself. It gives Lily a sense of comfort, being around people from her old hamlet of a home.
</div>
</td>

<td valign="top" width="300" scope="col"><div align="left" style="font-size:11px">
:'''Dislikes:'''
:* Hydaelyn. Above all else, Liliana scorns the Goddess and feels that those who rely upon her or worship her are little more than the Tempered of a Primal.
:* Most weather patterns in Eorzea. She knows that she is far too picky, though she will refrain from complaints about it unless given to prolonged suffering. In fact, unlike before, Liliana much prefers the rainstorms in Eastern Thanalan.
:* Blood currants. They taste far too sour for her liking, and she nearly choked on a helping of a blood currant tart because of that.
:* Hidden cliffs. While she claims they are "hidden", Liliana just does not seem to be able to pay attention and ends up very nearly or actually falling off of them more often than she'd like. Thankfully, her Dragoon training has been able to save her ankles (among other things) from getting broken when she takes such tumbles.
</div>
</td>

<td valign="top" width="300" scope="col"><div align="left" style="font-size:11px">
:'''Hobbies:'''
:* Being one of the morale boosters of her company. Regardless of what seems to get her down, Liliana manages to bounce right back and keep swinging, even against the toughest of odds.
:* In recent moons, she has been re-acquainting herself with her alchemy trade, offering donation-driven services to the people of Ul'dah when requested. She has also found that making dyes is a rather relaxing hobby for her, and usually includes a free 5-pot set of whatever color she's recently alchemized with requests she's given.
:* Dishonor in single combat. Nothing gets Liliana riled more than someone cheating in one-on-one combat, be it against her or someone else.
:* Fishing. Yes, fishing. While an adept fishmonger, Liliana proclaims that she does it merely to help feed her family. However, she always seems to be the most at ease when casting her line into La Noscea's many waters...and far more upset when she is disturbed from it.
</div>
</td>

<td valign="top" width="300" scope="col"><div align="left" style="font-size:11px">
:'''Talents:'''
:* Alchemizing dyes on a whim. Her favorite color seems to be lotus pink, which must be very odd for many of the male adventurers she tends to aid.
:* Being able to embarrass her friend Thiji, and rather easily. While not exactly a pastime, she derives great pleasure in seeing her miniature friend flustered so easily by her words and actions.
:* Taking Ella along on her adventures. While Lanza (as well as some others) may not approve of her methods, their child seems to enjoy the way Liliana flips and dances across the various landscapes that dot Eorzea.
</div>
</td>

<td valign="top" width="300" scope="col"><div align="left" style="font-size:11px">
'''Favorites:'''
:* '''Favorite Food/Drink:''' Crumpets, Rolanberry Cheesecake, Apple Tarts; Mulled Tea
:* '''Favorite Animal/Creature:''' Chocobos
:* '''Least Favorite Food/Drink:''' Blood Currant Tarts; Pineapple Juice
:* '''Least Favorite Animal/Creature:''' Succubi, Morbol, Goobbues. Yes, Goobbues. Especially the one recently discovered within the unearthed ruins of the Lost Township.</div>
</td>
</table>

==Combat==
===General===
<div style="font-size: 12px"> Regardless of how Liliana prefers to fight, she is always a commanding figure on the field of battle. Able to quickly discern enemy patterns during combat, she can adjust hers and her teammates' fighting accordingly to whatever is deemed necessary at the time. When fighting alone, she is flighty of foot and quick-striking with her weapon; her entire style is like a dance of some measure, and her enemy partners fall to her footwork. </div>

===Gladiator/Paladin===

<div style="font-size: 12px"> Liliana's truest of friends and most stalwart of allies, she was trained from a young age the way of the sword and it is the style that she feels most comfortable with. While not as burly or as strong-looking as some of the other Gladiators gracing the Coliseum's halls, Liliana favors her footwork and quicker strikes over pure brute strength.

Knowingly headstrong and exhibiting leadership qualities that are both valiant and foolish, Liliana will not think twice to throw herself into the line of fire for a friend or ally, her shield and herself covering for those who are injured or in a tight spot otherwise. Always at the forefront of every battle, she is unafraid to take point and soldier on through field and dungeon alike.

Though she exhibits the mastered training of a Paladin, however, Liliana refuses to refer to herself as such. She believes Paladins, both free- and Sultansworn alike, squander their titles and throw them around carelessly, and she wishes to be considered no part of that. Instead, she is merely a knight, a general--a vision of a past bygone on the battlefield. </div>

===Arcanist/Scholar===

<div style="font-size: 12px">Foregoing the sword to pick up a good book, Liliana has proven to be quite the deadly and helpful study both. While trained in the ways of white magick in her youth, she has found the ways of aetheric healing to feel more suited, and less heavily inclined upon the elements and therefore less taxing. However, she has found that healing those not aetherically-inclined to be a challenge, as she uses the aether within and directly around a person to heal them. She has a special way to heal these sorts of people, but she'd rather find another way around it, lest her friends and loved ones find out.

 In battle, Liliana doubles a damage-dealing healer, able to make her foes suffer at the touch of festering diseases, deadly poisons, and mutilating other effects that slowly addle away over time. With her beloved fairies ''Marisol'' (Eos) and ''Danica'' (Selene), she can either wash away the pains of battle or make a drawn-out fight go by more quickly. Unlike other scholars and arcanists, she has not divined within the pages of the Omnilex--in fact, the scriptures of the ''Ars Notoria'' have caught her eye, being that she is obsessed with the Stone Vigil as of late. Oftentimes, she would bury herself in its pages, attempting to decipher its ancient texts with the help of tomes in the Observatorium. </div>

===Lancer===

<div style="font-size: 12px">When the sword and spell-slinging fail her, Liliana turns to the lance. Having been inspired by Kairo, and taught by [[Lanza_Razaul|Lanza]] with rigorous, unforgiving fervor, she finally told herself that she was a lancer worthy of standing side by side to her friends in battle.Unfortunately, Liliana still suffers from confidence issues when keeping foes at bay, and is easily distracted from her concentration on taking down her targets.

 Still, she doesn't feel so bad. Liliana knows that there are better and worse lancers than she out there, and she considers herself to at least be of average merit. Even after being one of the chosen ones to wield Gae Bolg, thus proving her standing as a dragoon, Lily still forgoes the ancient spear and the hefty responsibility of the dragoon arts in favor of something more rudimentary...and a spear that doesn't carry quite the historical weight with it. </div>

===Thaumaturgist/Black Mage===

<div style="font-size: 12px">Liliana never wanted to admit to needing thaumaturgy, but after her foray into the Void, she realized that she was completely unprepared and has been suffering consequences since. Yet also since that time, she has been poring over books in Ul'dah's Ossuary, determined to learn the nature of the Void itself, so such things never happen again. She openly states that she is not as good as others at casting the actual spells, but that is a lie--whether or not it is her own power or power borrowed from her contract, the power of thaumaturgy has come natural to Lily, and she has even been secretly undergoing the trials to become a mage of the black. While not wanting to worry anyone, she understands how contradictory her actions are--however, regardless of how strong the pull of the Void is, she vowed to protect those close to her first and foremost, and as such does not openly practice combative thaumaturgy in front of her friends unless asked or reactively provoked. </div>

==Relationships==

 <div style="font-size: 12px">Lily's time in Eorzea has brought her into the company of many people. Not everyone turned out to be her friend, or even an ally. But all in the same, the company that Lily keeps is certainly colorful and varied.

:<center>♥ Romantic Interest     ♥ Platonic Love      ♥ Unsure of Relation     ● Good Standing     ●Neutral Standing     ● Poor Standing</center>

==Family and Closest Kin==

<div style="font-size: 12px">♥♥[[U'zhan_Tia|U'zhan Tia]]: Lily never expected to fall in love with two things: her best friend, and a Miqo'te. When she looks at U'zhan, however, she doesn't see a Miqo'te--she just simply sees ''him''. While a rather happy and much-needed encounter between them had at first left Lily feeling awkward about where they stood, she feels she might be ready to move on past the 'fluttering butterflies' phase. The only thing is, while she knows how she feels about U'zhan...after all this time apart, how on earth does he feel about her? 

♥[[Ella_Razaul|Ella Razaul]]: Her sweet, precious baby girl. Lily absolutely adores her daughter and will do anything and everything for the infant, no questions asked. 

♥'''Thiji Higuri''': A Lalafell Scholar who is like a brother to her, Lily can't help but jest with and tease the otherwise stoic young man. Knowing full well his plight when it comes to women, she feels only a little guilty for chiding him with her thoughts on the subject. Only a little. In the end, she knows that the two of them have each other's backs, even if he sighs exasperatedly at the fact that Lily refuses to continue her training in conjury, oftentimes being the brunt of complaints that 'two Scholars should not exist on the same field of battle'. Lily vows and seeks to prove him wrong every time. 

♥♥♥[[Paradyme_Capellago|Paradyme Capellago]]: Lily will be the first to admit that she does love the man. He is sweet, kind, attentive, and fiercely protective of her and even more so of her baby, Ella. After the events of her trip into the Void, and those that transpired after, it is quite clear that the two of them are closer than ever. Yet, she still feels that the news she brought to him has put a strain on any relationship they could have, romantic, friendship or otherwise...she just hopes that all goes well in the end. 

♥[[Kairo_Fujima|Kairo Fujima]]: Honestly, Lily has no idea what to think about this man. Once, they stated that they loved each other and she still holds true to that; though turn-taking of waxing disappearances has left her confused, and moreso hurt by the fact that, after finding out exactly why he's disappeared for so long, she wasn't even bothered for help. Still, she respects the man enough to give him his personal space, but Twelve help him the moment she gets impatient....

♥[[Lanza_Razaul|Lanza Razaul]]: Lily's estranged husband and the father of Ella. She hates him, she loves him; she wants him back, she wants him to fall down Witchdrop a few times. She's unsure of where she stands with him still and sends out mixed signals regarding this. She also never falters in bringing up that Ella is ''his'' child, and not Paul's. </div>

==Friends and Acquaintances==

<div style="font-size: 12px">●[[Rubh'a_Jinjahl|Rubh'a Jinjahl]]: Rubh'a, along with his mate R'edh, have proven to be some of Lily's very best friends. In fact, aside from U'zhan, they may very well ''be'' her best friends. After all, they've been there for quite a bit: her fallout and subsequent storm with Paul, the separation of her and Lanza. Hells, Rubh'a helped ''birth'' Ella. If that's not true friendship, she doesn't know '''what''' is. She commonly refers to Rubh'a as 'Ruby', but only when speaking about him while he's not around. She much prefers calling him by his full name to his face out of a sign of respect...she often wonders if just calling him 'Ruby' is a way of just being lazy in a reference, or perhaps she merely calls him his respectful full name due to the fact that he's older than her. 

●[[R'edh_Molko|R'edh Molko]]: Rubh'a's mate and the complete package deal of Lily's best friends, R'edh's the more vocal one of the two Miqo'te and the one she hit it off with first. She wasn't quite sure why the two appealed to her so much to want to become friends, but she is glad their friendship came easily and swiftly, and she remains loyal to them regardless. Like Rubh'a, Lily calls R'edh 'Red' when not in his presence, and again much prefers to call him by his full name to his face out of a sign of respect and him being her senior, regardless of the tiny age gap. 

●[[Mitsuki_Miyazaki|Mitsuki Miyazaki]]: A young Hyur...Miqo'te...er, Lalafell that Lily had met a while ago, she had assisted the Midlander in brewing her only true successful potion: the one which gave her her memories back. In her book, Mitsuki's an all right person if not a bit quiet; she respects the short one's insightful nature and wisdom, even if she doesn't always follow the advice the Lalafell tends to give at the time, usually due to being heated or her mind being elsewhere at the moment. 

●[[Nebula_Stardancer|Nebula Stardancer]]: A Keeper whom Lily met through a man named Paul Desmond, along with her mate, Ilwe'ran. In recent moons, she has come to associate with Nebula better and more fondly, partially due to the fact that the Miqo'te is close to having children of her own and Lily, being a mother herself, is all too happy to assist with anything the other may have need of doing or obtaining. While only slightly uncomfortable with the fact that the Keeper thought Ella to be Paul's as well, Lily only figured that she had the best interests of everyone at heart. 

●[[D'arca_Ovraen|D'arca Ovraen]]: A Seeker 'prince' whom she is fond of. She responds well to him and looks up to him as a fellow arcanist and admires how well he holds himself. Oftentimes, she thinks to herself about how well he would have fit in in San d'Oria...if it weren't for...y'know...being a ''male'' cat. 

●[[A'shtola_Oya|A'shtola Oya]]: The Sagolii Snowflake, a princess in her own right and one who Lily admires, respects, and probably has a bit of a crush on--though she'd never admit that last part. She feels the need to protect the Seeker at all costs, effectively submitting herself to being A'shtola's 'knight'. She loves the way the Miqo'te so easily cares for Ella and is quite all right with letting her care for her child for extended periods of time.

●[[Jael'li_Erisha'an|Jael'li Erisha'an]]: Lily's boss in L'Atelier, and her personal combat mentor and refiner. He sees that Lily has more than just a few anger issues, and has actively told her that he will refine that anger into the sharpest blade imaginable. Paraphrasing and a bit of embellishment, but it's all the same. She respects his fighting prowess and almost feels bad when she has to fight him; though she regards it out of respect, she feels that he might take it as a personal attack when she holds back during their spars. 

●[[Xhosa_Tauzeh|Xhosa Tauzeh]]: Lily's other boss in L'Atelier. She gets along with and respects the Keeper, but at the same time, she cannot help but feel a bit irked by the other's presence every now and then. The entire debacle with Paradyme left Lily with a sour taste in her mouth, and shook the foundation on which she was trying to build a steadfast business relationship with her boss. 

●[[Viri_Dynna|Viri Dynna]]: Heavens preserve, Lily has no idea what to think about her shaky, former Magi ally. An AWOL Ascian, Lily actually does not hold this against her, being that she does not exactly hold Hydaelyn in the highest of regards; merely, she questions Viri's methods about getting the job done. The woman is not bad, by any means, but Lily does put forth the effort to keep the other at arm's length. 

●[[Ilwe'ran_Hlaiwa|Ilwe'ran Hlaiwa]]: Once a good friend to Lily, his recent memory loss has put a slight, unwanted strain on their friendship. He was there for her at the darkest of times and helped to see her through it all; she only hopes that if it came down to it (and really, she hopes it doesn't), that she could help him in much the same ways he's helped her. Truthfully, she hopes for him to gain his memories back, as it just doesn't feel like the same Ilwe that she used to know. 

●[[Paul_Desmond|Paul Desmond]]: The infamous Paul Desmond. Once, she considered him the best thing that had ever happened to her. Then, she considered him a mortal enemy. Now? She doesn't know ''what'' to think. With everyone bringing his name up in her presence and sometimes, people pressing on the issues of talking to him, Lily finally has broken down and wishes to speak to him again...for whatever reason, she does not know, but she has begun to finally push back. However, it seems that he has disappeared...where has he gone to, she wonders...? 

==Rumors==
===Commonly Overheard Rumors===
:* "That strange, white-haired girl? She keeps disappearing out towards Drybone in the blink of an eye; don't see her for days on end after the fact. Makes you wonder what she finds so interesting out there."

:* "When she hangs around Ul'dah, she looks so...lost. Or sad, more like. Like she's lookin' for somethin' or someone that can't rightly be found. I used to think she was just drunk off her rocker, but she always seemed pretty stable otherwise."

===Moderately Hard to Overhear Rumors===
:* "I hear that her cooking is so horrendous, Commander Rhiki orders it to be used as a torture method for feisty prisoners of the Maelstrom...can it really be that bad?" ''(Can only be overheard by members of Lominsan law enforcement and their close associates)''

===Rare/Difficult to Overhear Rumors===
:* "She says she's from a different world...I don't really believe her; I mean, hells, who can believe such a tall tale?"

:* "They say that her guard duty with L'Atelier's actually just a cover-up for what she's really trying to accomplish. I don't know what that is, but why would you want to cover your tracks with an entertainment troupe?"

===Player Character Rumors===
*:"I've only met her officially once, but seen her around many times! If it wasn't for a few differences in features and height, we could be twins!" - [[Lilithium Altair]]

=== General ===

'''Lilithium Altair (Lil-ith-ium Ah-l-tair) '''is a older Hyur midlander who is often seen in and around Ul'dah and various other parts of Eorzea. Her maternal nature and affectionate disposition leaves her well liked by most who come across her. Widowed three years before the Calamity and with her three children all grown and out of the house as of roughly a year ago, Lili finds that she's able to focus on herself and her own happiness for the first time since her teens. It's left her with many doorways of oppurtunity to choose from, some full of light and adventure while others harbor a darker purpose...

Recently, she has become the owner of a staffing company known as the Free Wing Society and adopted a little boy named Adokenai. On top of that, she has opened her heart that led to avenues she never dared dream were possible. She currently has a mate (C'kayah Tia), and a lover (Kaiten Skyborn) who further enrich her life along with the various friends she has made along the way.

'''Note: Lili is able to see the aether of various individuals she meets. They manifest as light and colors, and I will sometimes whisper people OOC to determine what their aether is like so Lili can react or adjust accordingly.'''

=== Appearance ===

[[File:LiliSelf.png|none|LiliSelf.png]]

Standing at 5 fulm and 4 ilm, Lili is used to seeing the world from the shorter side of things. She used to wear her pale blonde hair long and nearly to her elbows, but almost two moons ago she chopped it rather short. Recently, she's grown it out again. Her eyes are very light green with a silvery cast to the color to give it an odd shimmering quality. While her features deceive others of her true age, she bares what marks she has with pride: Some crows feet at the corner of her eyes that show when she laughs, and similar lines at the corner of her lips that only start to show when she is smiling broadly. Having bared three children (two of which were twins), she was left with rather shapely hips and added curves that she had not possessed in her youth. One of the physical features most noticed by some who meet Lili is her rather large bust despite her small size. It usually causes her a myriad of problems, as some of her shorter Miqo'te friends and Lalafell companions sometimes get suffocated when she hugs them. The rest of her is well toned from the muscle and strenght it takes to wield her axe and fist weapons, and sunkissed from her years by the shores of Limsa or the sands of Ul'dah. Around her neck is a long chain with little silver fingerbells attached to it, and on her ring finger looks to be a wedding or engagement ring of some kind.

=== Behavior ===

Having gotten pregnant at fourteen and raising or looking after her children and those of others left Lili with a maternal nature that has been driven down to the core of her very being. She tends to look out for those around her, especially those that she feels a soft spot for, or those around her children's age (teens to early twenties range). Though this maternal drive of hers doesn't make her a pushover in the least, as it is possible to ignite her ire with the right buttons being pushed. Over all, she's calm and even tempered and usually the voice of reason for those around her. Ever one to play devil's advocate.

== Combat ==

=== General ===

Lili hasn't had much of a need to show her skills publically, but in the few times she's sparred with friends she's shown a great aptitude for a martial arts style of combat. Her fists, being her primary weapon, are usually not the thing to worry about. They sometimes serve as a mere distraction for her rather powerful legs to catch someone off guard. When she does happen to use her axe, it's an interesting sight since some of the weaponry are almost as big as she is. Yet she yields them with ease, using all her force with each blow. She fights with a certain level of honor, though if the situation should call for it she won't be afraid to play dirty.

== Tendencies ==

[[File:LiliandAdo3.png]]

Always one for trying and learning new things, Lili spends much of her idle time active in one way or another. If she's not relaxing in the Quicksand or the occasional visit to the Drowning Wench, she'll be home or out and about doing some kind of activity or socializing.

=== Family ===

●Ghislan Nightwing (deceased): Lili's late husband who went MIA during an assignment against the Garleans. After no body being found over the last near decade he's been gone, everyone has safely assumed he is dead and Lili no longer mourns her first and only true love. He was also of Ala Mhigan descent and large for a Highlander (7 fulms).

''●''[[Adokenai Kodomo]]: A young Lalachild who Lili met at the Quicksand one day. Since meeting, Lili had adopted the little boy as her own. He even calls her 'Mom' regularly, and comes running to her whenever he sees her. Usually when seen together, the little boy is being held by his new mother or playing around some where near by.

''●''Khavan Nightwing: Lili's oldest child and oldest son. At nineteen years of age, nearing twenty, Khavan is engaged to a male elezen and usually bothers Lili for wedding preperation.

''●''Sarameda Silverlark: Youngest twin daughter of Lilithium Altair and Amore Silverlark.

''●''Deisarameda Silverlark: Oldest twin daughter of Lilithium Altair and Amore Silverlark.

●Rahsha Altair: A Sunseeker miqo'te that Lili's parents found when Lili was only five. Abandoned on a supply ship, no one knows her tribal origin and could never relocate birth parents. Rahsha and Lili grew apart after Lili left home, and now the two rarely see one another.

''●''Andromeda and Reiko Altair (deceased): Lili's parents died shortly after the twins were born in a simple but tragic fire. Both were botanists who were unmatched in their knowledge of the land and its bountiful treasures.

=== Other Relationships ===

''●''[[Aedan Mathis]]: On her way to gather herbs in the Sylphlands, she came across a Hyur slumped over his faithful chocobo. Bloodied and unconscious, Lili took him to the nearby Sanctum of the Twelve and managed to save his life. While the two aren't in close contact, she sees him sporadically and keep in the back of her mind his offer to look after her children as a way of thanks for her helping him.

''●''[[Aya Foxheart]]: The Quicksand's favorite barmaid, Lili worked alongside C'kayah to help Aya with some personal problems, and offered the woman multiple safe places to hide away at should she had needed it. Afterwards, she hasn't seen much of her, though that hasn't stopped the affection she began to feel towards the woman.

♥●[[Azeiox Nelles]]: An elezen Lili met one day at the Quicksand who always seems to be looking out for her son and letting him right on his shoulder without batting an eye. Intimidating at first, she later found his more quiet nature to be comforting and enjoys spending time with him when she can. The nature of their relationship to outsiders appears friendly, though if there is anything else going on their certainly don't show it.

♥●[[Chokho Viqqoh]]: A Keeper woman Lili met at the fishfry event the Society put on, she flirted rather heavily with Lili and even poured a cup of water on her to see her wet in her bikkini. They met up later when they found out they were neighbors, and have started a comfortable friendship. Chokho has made her attraction known, and Lili returned the sentiment. Their lives keep them busy and often apart, though they make time to spend with one another when they can.

''♥●''[[C'kayah Tia]]: A Miqo'te who once supplied Lili with alchemical materials she was having a hard time acquiring, he was smitten with her from the start and she rejected his advances over and over again. Instead, teasing him with playful retorts and equally playful skepticism. They ended up being around one another off and on as time went on, and over time Lili came to see that his feelings and gestures were indeed sincere and affectionate by his repeat efforts to prove such. Since asking her to be his mate, and she in turn asking him to marry her, the two have been through great obstacles that have made them stronger then ever. When seen together, Lili couldn't be happier.

''●''[[Darturu Torlan]]: Darturu and Lili were once mated, but his co-creation of the Blacktalon Vanguard made balancing work and a relationship difficult. The two eventually decided to part ways, still caring for one another, but now left to their own devices. As time has passed and seeing less and less of him, her feelings had softened to the point where romance is no longer something she entertains with the Miqo'te. They have not seen one another since she left the Vanguard, and she seems to have no desire to change that.

''●''[[Dheina Tayuun]]: A young Miqo'te she met when coming back to Ul'dah via her previous mate, Darturu. They keep in touch sporadically, and have a pleasent friendship.

♥●[[Graeldelon Bloodrage]]: One of the newer members of the Society, Lili doesn't know the young man very well. However she can occasionally be caught looking at him with a faint and curious little smile as well as fussing over recent wounds he suffered as part of a training exercise.

''●''●[[Kagewoe Erasus]]: Fiance of Nymira's, Kage is also one of her officers. While she is not close to the male, she is confident in his abilities to help her and Nym keep everyone in line and together. Recent events with the Society have the two walking on thin ice around one another and generally not around one another.

''●''[[Kal Numara]]: A Highlander woman who is also a friend of Lili's. Usually teasing her, and constantly referring to her as 'Mama' or 'Mama Lili'. Such teasings are usually met with Lili retaliating (playfully so).

[[Kenthy Pennyfeather|''●''Kenthy Pennyfeather]]: A miqo'te Lili met through her interractions with C'kayah and the Morbolvines, she's grown a light friendship with the woman, as well as quite a bit of respect due to the help that was given to her during her experience in the form of a Moonkeeper. Despite her sassy and slightly abrasive nature, Lili finds her pleasent. During a series of discussions involving Kenthy and C'kayah's desire to add intimacy to their current relationship, Kenthy lashed out at Lili in a way that had her feeling almost hostile towards the woman. Later on, the two women managed to patch things up and Lili gave Kenthy her blessing to be involved with C'kayah. She doesn't see the redhead regular, but should one ask she considers her a friend.

♥●[[Kaiten Skyborn]]: Lili and this hyur were involved for an extended period as lovers and friends. Due to less and less time spent together and Lili's recent engagement to C'kayah, the two have drifted apart. While she still loves the man deeply, she has taken strides to try and move forward and onward. However, she still thinks of him often.

♥●[[Kaohastraal Aeseroix]]:A very large roe man that was introduced to Lili via T'shina at the fish fry event. His Garlean name took her aback at first, but when they started talking he eased her mind and explained some of his story. He's admitted to having an interest in her on many levels, and they've agreed to simply get to know one another. Though it's hard to know what Lili is thinking when they're seen together.

''●''[[Katiti Kati]]: Lili met this Lalafell around the time she met Ado, who served alongside Toff as one of the Lalachild's unofficial guardians. She eventually joined the Society, being hired as Ado's official teacher. Lili trusts her judgement, but worries with how much she stresses over things all the time.

[[Kolhi'to Embhre|''●''Kolhi'to Embhre]]: Creator of the Blacktalon Vanguard and Lili's former employer, Lili has known Kol for quite some time. However, they seem neither friendly nor hostile. Instead only polite when meeting or speaking in passing. More often then not Kol's grumpy attitude tends to irk Lili even if she may not always show it.

''●''[[Leon Maxwell]]: A young boy Lili met through Tenha'a, she's done her best to look out for his well being and educate him on matters he inquires about, such as love. Knowing a few tidbits about his current health and situation, she's been doing some research into what can possibly be done to help him. Between her work in the Society and his involvements in other matters, assisting him hasn't been as large of a priority. Recently, she learned that he found a cure which brought her happiness to know that perhaps now he could live a long and healthy life.

♥●[[Locke Rinannis]]: She had seen this man when he was around one of the free company houses next to Blacktalon, though never spoke to him or approached him. Later, she heard he was looking for work and offered him a job at the Society. He's one of her most quiet employees, and as a result she actively tries to drag him around the others and be social. His polite demeanor and timidity charms her, and she finds him rather attractive though she values him as a friend and workmate moreso then anything.

''●''[[Mouse Wytchwood]]: A miqo'te girl with odd origins and green hair, Lili has always regarded the girl with motherly concern and attention. From watching her from afar or explaining terms and concepts she does not easily grasp or helping with her hair. She knows enough of Mouse's backstory to keep her eye on the girl when she's able to, and to try and guide harm out of her way.

''●''[[Nymira Valeroyant]]: One of the members of the Society and its' main healer, Nym is not only a good friend of Lili's but also one of her officers to help keep the Society running smoothly.

''●''[[Rock Shattermountain]]: A Highlander Lili has recently met when helping with the Pumpkin Cafe opening night. He also is a friend of her adopted son, Ado. After a night out together, he confessed to feelings of a more romantic nature, and the two have been slowly getting to know one another from there. He is also the one that gave her a little pet fawn whom she affectionately calls Dot. As their interractions have progressed, as well as his hints and confessions to seeing Lili as a prospective wife, it left her flattered by his intense emotions. While she still cares for him, they have drifted into more of a close friendship.

[[Sarial Hawke|''●''Sarial Hawke]]: A female Highlander that met Lili at the Pumpkin Cafe opening. She gave Lili a thirty thousand gil tip both out of appreciation of her services as a waitress and to help her kickstart things with her adoption of Adokenai. Since then the woman has blatantly admitted her desire for Lili, though after Lili chose C'kayah as her mate, the two haven't spoken much and Sarial has kept her distance. Over time, Lili has had people come to her about some of the less then savory things Sarial has supposedly said about her, though she seems to pay it no mind.

●[[Tendha'a Rendha]]: A male Miqo'te whom Lili met shortly after the creation of the Vanguard. The two quickly became friends and confidants, and he is the mate of T'shina Vashka. Since Lili and C'kayah started seeing one another, neither of the two have spoken much and he never said a word when he officially left the Society with T'shina and a few others.

''●''●[[Toff Vaughn]]: One of Ado's original guardians, Lili went to Toff and Katiti before she formally adopted Ado. While she respects the man, his childish bouts of attitude test the limits of her temper, including with how he has grown the habit lately of flirting with taken women. Whether he seems to know they're taken or not.

''●''●[[Togy Brandmakt]]: A previous lover, the two seperated due to Togy's wanderings and traveling keeping them apart moreso then together. While not on bad terms, his unstable nature and her mixed responses to his off days makes their interractions a hit-or-miss.

●[[T'shina Vashka]]: A young woman Lili regards as a friend, the recent interractions Lili has had with C'kayah has strained their relationship. Afterwards, the two didn't speak for a while and had one rather large argument that Tenha'a even became part that drove Lili away emotionally. Things never fully recovered after that, and when finding out that Lili and C'kayah were still together, she resigned from the Society.

●[[U'zhan Tia]]: A Miqo'te that Lili met due to his associations with T'shina, he asked Lili to go adventuring with him. Shortly afterwards, he stopped speaking with her. Having gotten the impression he was very much like the womanizing 'Nunh' types he claimed to dislike so much, Lili has had very little desire to rekindle a friendship.

== History/Timeline ==

=== 1544-1559 Childhood/adolescence ===

Born an only child, Lili had a comfortable life with her parents living in Ul'dah. Taking frequent trips to the countryside and the desert to look for new herbs and roots and other things that were in demand or that her parents needed to discover. They met a variety of people and went a variety places before Lili even learned how to walk, though their home territory was always Ul'dah and the Thanalans. Around the time Lili was just turning five, her parents decided to relocate to La Noscea and start maping and surveying the lush island terrain. While on the cargo ship to Limsa Lominsa, the Altairs discovered a tiny bundle that was wailing and screaming and covered in bloodied rags. A newborn Miqo'te child, still covered in the blood of labor pains, though with no mother in sight. No one on the ship knew where she came from, and eventually Lili's parents made her part of the family and named her Rahsha.

Time passed easily in La Noscea. Lili treasured little Rahsha as if she was a blood sister. The tail and ears were only a cute little addition Lili liked to play with. Around the time she was eight and Rahsha was barely three, a family moved in nearby from Ala Mhigo with a single child of their own. A dark skinned, blonde haired, red eyed little prankster of a boy named Ghislan Nightwing. He was immidiately taken with Lili, even as a young boy, and showed it in his typical fashion of flipping her skirts, pulling on her head, and throwing sand and mud balls at he face. This usually earned him retaliation of equal brutality by Lili, with assistance from little Rahsha while their parents looked on with affection and amusement.

The years passed without incident. The comings and goings of the outside world seemed far away from Lili. Her life consisted of her family and Ghislan, and it seemed to be all she needed. As Ghislan and Lili got older, they went from children to friends, and before long, they were fawning over one another in the typical girlish and boyish fashions. Shortly after Lili's fourteenth birthday gathering, their love for one another was too much to be contained (in their young eyes at least). Following their coupling, Lili realized she was pregnant, and the two quickly escaped into the night to find the closest Priestess of Menphina to bless a union between them. Their elopement was received with a measure of shock and surprise that was quickly welcomed by all, save for Rahsha. Feeling that her sister abandoned her, the little Miqo'te never quite outgrew such feelings.

And thus began the life of Mrs. Lilithium Nightwing.

=== 1559-1569 Lilithium Amal'thea Nightwing ===

The married life was one Lili slipped into with ease. Shortly after turning fifteen summers, she gave birth to Khavan Amadeus Nightwing, who looked more like his father then anything else. Despite being young, they were hard working with Lili spending the majority of her time as a house wife taking care of their son with the aide of both of their parents. While Rahsha was loving to a degree to Khavan, she was still distant with her sister. It was something that, while Lili mourned for the lack of emotion she got from her, she couldn't focus on too deeply and still provide the needed care for her family.

During the first few years of their marriage, Ghislan continued to grow. Taller and taller and taller, reaching well past the average height for a Highlander. While it certainly got attention in a crowd and delighted Lili as well, it caught the eye of a few mercenary groups who saw great potential. Soon, he was recruited and cycled through a few companies who paid well and the work was mostly geared towards training. It brought in enough profit that Lili and Ghislan built their family home from the ground up. A beautiful, pale stoned cottage melded with shells from the nearby shore.

Throwing a grand celebration with friends to honor the new homestead, everyone (even Lili) drank in good cheer. One man amoungst them, however, took advantage of the situation. A long time friend of the couples' who joined Ghislan as a healer in some of his fights and jobs, his poor health would be the death of him soon and they all knew it. Amore Silverlark was his name, and he was the only living member of his family. Determined to not leave this world without carrying out his family name, he guided a very intoxicated Lili to a back room to take advantage, and succeeded with getting her pregnant. Overcome by guilt, he confessed to Ghislan who nearly killed him on the spot were it not for Lili intervening. Barely able to let it pass, Ghislan agreed to curb his animosity while it was discussed on what to do. A few weeks later, Amore succumbed to his illness and passed away, leaving Lili and Ghislan with two choices: Keep the illegitimate children, or find a way to terminate the pregnancy.

Months later, Deisarameda and Sarameda Silverlark were born. In honor of Amore and Ghislan's more happy history together, they kept the surname and Ghislan raised them as his own. Sadly, they inherited their father's illness and were in poor health as children and even into their now adult life.

Shortly after the girls were born, Lili's parents died abruptly in a house fire. Mere days later, Rahsha disappeared with what little belongings she covered from the fire. To this day, Lili has rarely seen sight of her adopted sister and has heard rumors that she retreated to the Shroud to perhaps find clues to her true family.

The years passed without incident. Ghislan put aside his mercenary life to join the military efforts around La Noscea and even beyond. During one particular assignment he was doing freelance for the Immortal Flames, they were attacked by Garleans in which Ghislan was captured and taken away. There was never a body recovered, and Lili was wracked by grief for a number of years. Even with her children there as support, it slowly became accepted that Ghislan was likely dead and never returning. Her soulmate, the love of her life, the father of her children, was gone. There was no more to be done.

And so, life went on.

=== 1569/0-Present Calamity ===

Lili ended up retaking her maiden name of Altair a few years after Ghislan passed, not feeling right baring the name of her dead husband. The day of the Calamity, Lili and her three children visited the empty grave on a little cliff over looking the sea that was dedicated to Ghislan. All four watched in complete horror as the world around them was torn to bits and land and buildings became decimated. Thankfully, their home remained intact and they suffered no severe losses. Lili focused more on her alchemical talents to help locals and those in the cities while making a little extra money for herself and her family. Within the last two years, her children grew up into beautiful, capable young adults. All three starting to go their own ways to build their new lives. It left Lili in an interesting position: After almost two decades of being married, being widowed, raising children...she now had time to focus on herself. A thrilling but frightening prospect she still has difficulty comprehending to this day.

Lili spent the first few months trying to find hobbies. Interests. Even dabbling in the company of courtesans to appease some of the loneliness seeped into her heart. Money that Ghislan left behind in his passing was enough to sustain her day-to-day life, but she still felt empty. Unfulfilled. Without her soulmate, she began to wonder if she'd eventually die of a broken heart the way some songbirds did when their mates passed. During a trip out by Moraby, Lili came across a Miqo'te man named [[Kolhi'to Embhre]] who passed along a possible business proposition at his free company, Black Sun Trading. Intrigued, Lili followed through on the matter and found employment working for the Silverstars, Matthias and Althena. It gave her a new purpose and new motivation, and during that time she met and had a brief coupling with one of her coworkers named [[Togy Brandmakt]]. While things didn't last, it opened a door for her she never thought she'd try again: Dating.

Work for Lili in Black Sun was usually fairly slow, with the occasional incident breaking up the monotony of each daily routine. But the people were interesting, and many interesting occurrences happened in the Bismarck from laughter to violence. Later, it was announced that the trading company would become an academy (Black Sun Academy), and Lili became the school receptionist. She kept an eye when she could on some of the more naive members and prospective students, including a young woman named [[Mouse Wytchwood]]. Through an old lover, Lili learned of Mouse's mysterious nature and past and vowed to keep it quiet and continue to help watching the girl from afar. Her focus became the school, as well as finding ways to relieve herself of her loneliness. She took her alchemy back up again, as well as continued her parents' legacy and proficiency in botany.

More time passed with very little incident. For a period, Lili was surrounded by an influx of interested parties who wished to start relationships with her. Only one caught her interest in the end, a miqo'te man she met through Kolhi'to named [[Darturu Torlan]]. Charmed and taken in by his good manners, wit, and appearence, he soon became a regular part of her life. And soon, a significant other. Shortly after this her youngest daughter, Sarameda, became ill. Needing constant care and attention, Lili took an extended period of time to be with her daughter and away from the world. Including away from Darturu.

Shortly after Sara finally recovered, Lili heard everyone had relocated to Ul'dah to start up a new company with Kolhi'to as head of the organization. A mercenary group called the Blacktalon Vanguard, and Darturu was his partner. Lili relocated so as to help with the group, as well as be supportive of Dart. While the relationship with Darturu didn't last and they eventually parted ways, she still met many new people and still talks to quite a few even after she left the Vanguard to start her own group, the Free Wing Society. During this time she met a young lalachild named [[Adokenai Kodomo]], a resident tot at the Quicksand that seemed to be cared after by Momodi and the adventurers that inhabited the place. So taken by him, she decided to adopt the boy as her own and the announcement was made at the opening of the Pumpkin Cafe. There, she met two people: [[Rock Shattermountain]] and [[Sarial Hawke]], both of whom took a liking to the woman and her charms. They later joined the Society, along with others that Lili knew from Blacktalon and beyond.

Also during this time, she met a man named [[C'kayah Tia]] who supplied with her alchemical regents that she was having a hard time getting a hold of. The attraction between the two was almost instant, and at the end of the night Lili decided to give him a link to her personal pearl. Not expecting to hear from him for quite some time (if ever), Lili was surprised when he got a hold of her almost immediately afterwards. It set off a chain of interactions that sent them down an unexpectedly passionate path of emotions and intimacy that Lili never seemed able to push aside. Even though at the begining she was wary, he made her feel like she could take a chance. It led her to meeting even more people, like [[Kenthy Pennyfeather]] and [[Miah Polaali]], and eventually led to her and Kayah becoming mates. While their relationship was 'open' and unconventional, she also took in a lover named [[Kaiten Skyborn]] while C'kayah took in his own interests.

The Society continued to thrive, though some of her friendships suffered as a product of her relationship with C'kayah. Her long standing friendship with [[T'shina Vashka]] and [[Tenha'a Rendha]] being the primary ones, as their dislike of C'kayah and vehemence against Lili being with him led to them recently leaving the Society. While this happened, Lili remained firm in her decision to spend her future with the male. Life continued to change, and still does to this day. Most recently she and C'kayah have become engaged, she has offered her and the Society's aid in the Doman refugee matters, and continues raising and caring after Ado.

:- I'm a hypothetical theory crafter. I love talking about hypotheticals and 'what if' scenarios regarding RP :) 
:-Lili is very kind and affectionate to most people she meets. That doesn't necessarily mean she's flirting with you. 
:-I tend to ignore or shut down individuals who get upset OOC about not being romantically involved with Lili and/or not getting the oppurtunity. She didn't pick you so there's probably a reason. Get over it. 
:-I'm very nice OOC so don't hesitate to approach for random RP, ideas, or if you want to know more about the Society!

=== General ===

'''Lilithium Altair (Lil-ith-ium Ah-l-tair) '''is a older Hyur midlander who is often seen in and around Ul'dah and various other parts of Eorzea. Her maternal nature and affectionate disposition leaves her well liked by most who come across her. Widowed three years before the Calamity and with her three children all grown and out of the house as of roughly a year ago, Lili finds that she's able to focus on herself and her own happiness for the first time since her teens. It's left her with many doorways of oppurtunity to choose from, some full of light and adventure while others harbor a darker purpose...

Recently, she has become the owner of a staffing company known as the Free Wing Society and adopted a little boy named Adokenai. On top of that, she has opened her heart that led to avenues she never dared dream were possible. She currently has a mate (C'kayah Tia), and a lover (Kaiten Skyborn) who further enrich her life along with the various friends she has made along the way.

'''Note: Lili is able to see the aether of various individuals she meets. They manifest as light and colors, and I will sometimes whisper people OOC to determine what their aether is like so Lili can react or adjust accordingly.'''

=== Appearance ===

[[File:LiliSelf.png|none|LiliSelf.png]]

Standing at 5 fulm and 4 ilm, Lili is used to seeing the world from the shorter side of things. She used to wear her pale blonde hair long and nearly to her elbows, but almost two moons ago she chopped it rather short. Recently, she's grown it out again. Her eyes are very light green with a silvery cast to the color to give it an odd shimmering quality. While her features deceive others of her true age, she bares what marks she has with pride: Some crows feet at the corner of her eyes that show when she laughs, and similar lines at the corner of her lips that only start to show when she is smiling broadly. Having bared three children (two of which were twins), she was left with rather shapely hips and added curves that she had not possessed in her youth. One of the physical features most noticed by some who meet Lili is her rather large bust despite her small size. It usually causes her a myriad of problems, as some of her shorter Miqo'te friends and Lalafell companions sometimes get suffocated when she hugs them. The rest of her is well toned from the muscle and strenght it takes to wield her axe and fist weapons, and sunkissed from her years by the shores of Limsa or the sands of Ul'dah. Around her neck is a long chain with little silver fingerbells attached to it, and on her ring finger looks to be a wedding or engagement ring of some kind.

=== Behavior ===

Having gotten pregnant at fourteen and raising or looking after her children and those of others left Lili with a maternal nature that has been driven down to the core of her very being. She tends to look out for those around her, especially those that she feels a soft spot for, or those around her children's age (teens to early twenties range). Though this maternal drive of hers doesn't make her a pushover in the least, as it is possible to ignite her ire with the right buttons being pushed. Over all, she's calm and even tempered and usually the voice of reason for those around her. Ever one to play devil's advocate.

== Combat ==

=== General ===

Lili hasn't had much of a need to show her skills publically, but in the few times she's sparred with friends she's shown a great aptitude for a martial arts style of combat. Her fists, being her primary weapon, are usually not the thing to worry about. They sometimes serve as a mere distraction for her rather powerful legs to catch someone off guard. When she does happen to use her axe, it's an interesting sight since some of the weaponry are almost as big as she is. Yet she yields them with ease, using all her force with each blow. She fights with a certain level of honor, though if the situation should call for it she won't be afraid to play dirty.

== Tendencies ==

[[File:LiliandAdo3.png]]

Always one for trying and learning new things, Lili spends much of her idle time active in one way or another. If she's not relaxing in the Quicksand or the occasional visit to the Drowning Wench, she'll be home or out and about doing some kind of activity or socializing.

=== Family ===

●Ghislan Nightwing (deceased): Lili's late husband who went MIA during an assignment against the Garleans. After no body being found over the last near decade he's been gone, everyone has safely assumed he is dead and Lili no longer mourns her first and only true love. He was also of Ala Mhigan descent and large for a Highlander (7 fulms).

''●''[[Adokenai Kodomo]]: A young Lalachild who Lili met at the Quicksand one day. Since meeting, Lili had adopted the little boy as her own. He even calls her 'Mom' regularly, and comes running to her whenever he sees her. Usually when seen together, the little boy is being held by his new mother or playing around some where near by.

''●''Khavan Nightwing: Lili's oldest child and oldest son. At nineteen years of age, nearing twenty, Khavan is engaged to a male elezen and usually bothers Lili for wedding preperation.

''●''Sarameda Silverlark: Youngest twin daughter of Lilithium Altair and Amore Silverlark.

''●''Deisarameda Silverlark: Oldest twin daughter of Lilithium Altair and Amore Silverlark.

●Rahsha Altair: A Sunseeker miqo'te that Lili's parents found when Lili was only five. Abandoned on a supply ship, no one knows her tribal origin and could never relocate birth parents. Rahsha and Lili grew apart after Lili left home, and now the two rarely see one another.

''●''Andromeda and Reiko Altair (deceased): Lili's parents died shortly after the twins were born in a simple but tragic fire. Both were botanists who were unmatched in their knowledge of the land and its bountiful treasures.

=== Other Relationships ===

''●''[[Aedan Mathis]]: On her way to gather herbs in the Sylphlands, she came across a Hyur slumped over his faithful chocobo. Bloodied and unconscious, Lili took him to the nearby Sanctum of the Twelve and managed to save his life. While the two aren't in close contact, she sees him sporadically and keep in the back of her mind his offer to look after her children as a way of thanks for her helping him.

''●''[[Aya Foxheart]]: The Quicksand's favorite barmaid, Lili worked alongside C'kayah to help Aya with some personal problems, and offered the woman multiple safe places to hide away at should she had needed it. Afterwards, she hasn't seen much of her, though that hasn't stopped the affection she began to feel towards the woman.

♥●[[Azeiox Nelles]]: An elezen Lili met one day at the Quicksand who always seems to be looking out for her son and letting him right on his shoulder without batting an eye. Intimidating at first, she later found his more quiet nature to be comforting and enjoys spending time with him when she can. The nature of their relationship to outsiders appears friendly, though if there is anything else going on their certainly don't show it.

♥●[[Chokho Viqqoh]]: A Keeper woman Lili met at the fishfry event the Society put on, she flirted rather heavily with Lili and even poured a cup of water on her to see her wet in her bikkini. They met up later when they found out they were neighbors, and have started a comfortable friendship. Chokho has made her attraction known, and Lili returned the sentiment. Their lives keep them busy and often apart, though they make time to spend with one another when they can.

''♥●''[[C'kayah Tia]]: A Miqo'te who once supplied Lili with alchemical materials she was having a hard time acquiring, he was smitten with her from the start and she rejected his advances over and over again. Instead, teasing him with playful retorts and equally playful skepticism. They ended up being around one another off and on as time went on, and over time Lili came to see that his feelings and gestures were indeed sincere and affectionate by his repeat efforts to prove such. Since asking her to be his mate, and she in turn asking him to marry her, the two have been through great obstacles that have made them stronger then ever. When seen together, Lili couldn't be happier.

''●''[[Darturu Torlan]]: Darturu and Lili were once mated, but his co-creation of the Blacktalon Vanguard made balancing work and a relationship difficult. The two eventually decided to part ways, still caring for one another, but now left to their own devices. As time has passed and seeing less and less of him, her feelings had softened to the point where romance is no longer something she entertains with the Miqo'te. They have not seen one another since she left the Vanguard, and she seems to have no desire to change that.

''●''[[Dheina Tayuun]]: A young Miqo'te she met when coming back to Ul'dah via her previous mate, Darturu. They keep in touch sporadically, and have a pleasent friendship.

♥●[[Graeldelon Bloodrage]]: One of the newer members of the Society, Lili doesn't know the young man very well. However she can occasionally be caught looking at him with a faint and curious little smile as well as fussing over recent wounds he suffered as part of a training exercise.

''●''●[[Kagewoe Erasus]]: Fiance of Nymira's, Kage is also one of her officers. While she is not close to the male, she is confident in his abilities to help her and Nym keep everyone in line and together. Recent events with the Society have the two walking on thin ice around one another and generally not around one another.

''●''[[Kal Numara]]: A Highlander woman who is also a friend of Lili's. Usually teasing her, and constantly referring to her as 'Mama' or 'Mama Lili'. Such teasings are usually met with Lili retaliating (playfully so).

[[Kenthy Pennyfeather|''●''Kenthy Pennyfeather]]: A miqo'te Lili met through her interractions with C'kayah and the Morbolvines, she's grown a light friendship with the woman, as well as quite a bit of respect due to the help that was given to her during her experience in the form of a Moonkeeper. Despite her sassy and slightly abrasive nature, Lili finds her pleasent. During a series of discussions involving Kenthy and C'kayah's desire to add intimacy to their current relationship, Kenthy lashed out at Lili in a way that had her feeling almost hostile towards the woman. Later on, the two women managed to patch things up and Lili gave Kenthy her blessing to be involved with C'kayah. She doesn't see the redhead regular, but should one ask she considers her a friend.

♥●[[Kaiten Skyborn]]: Lili and this hyur were involved for an extended period as lovers and friends. Due to less and less time spent together and Lili's recent engagement to C'kayah, the two have drifted apart. While she still loves the man deeply, she has taken strides to try and move forward and onward. However, she still thinks of him often.

♥●[[Kaohastraal Aeseroix]]:A very large roe man that was introduced to Lili via T'shina at the fish fry event. His Garlean name took her aback at first, but when they started talking he eased her mind and explained some of his story. He's admitted to having an interest in her on many levels, and they've agreed to simply get to know one another. Though it's hard to know what Lili is thinking when they're seen together.

''●''[[Katiti Kati]]: Lili met this Lalafell around the time she met Ado, who served alongside Toff as one of the Lalachild's unofficial guardians. She eventually joined the Society, being hired as Ado's official teacher. Lili trusts her judgement, but worries with how much she stresses over things all the time.

[[Kolhi'to Embhre|''●''Kolhi'to Embhre]]: Creator of the Blacktalon Vanguard and Lili's former employer, Lili has known Kol for quite some time. However, they seem neither friendly nor hostile. Instead only polite when meeting or speaking in passing. More often then not Kol's grumpy attitude tends to irk Lili even if she may not always show it.

''●''[[Leon Maxwell]]: A young boy Lili met through Tenha'a, she's done her best to look out for his well being and educate him on matters he inquires about, such as love. Knowing a few tidbits about his current health and situation, she's been doing some research into what can possibly be done to help him. Between her work in the Society and his involvements in other matters, assisting him hasn't been as large of a priority. Recently, she learned that he found a cure which brought her happiness to know that perhaps now he could live a long and healthy life.

♥●[[Locke Rinannis]]: She had seen this man when he was around one of the free company houses next to Blacktalon, though never spoke to him or approached him. Later, she heard he was looking for work and offered him a job at the Society. He's one of her most quiet employees, and as a result she actively tries to drag him around the others and be social. His polite demeanor and timidity charms her, and she finds him rather attractive though she values him as a friend and workmate moreso then anything.

''●''[[Mouse Wytchwood]]: A miqo'te girl with odd origins and green hair, Lili has always regarded the girl with motherly concern and attention. From watching her from afar or explaining terms and concepts she does not easily grasp or helping with her hair. She knows enough of Mouse's backstory to keep her eye on the girl when she's able to, and to try and guide harm out of her way.

''●''[[Nymira Valeroyant]]: One of the members of the Society and its' main healer, Nym is not only a good friend of Lili's but also one of her officers to help keep the Society running smoothly.

''●''[[Rock Shattermountain]]: A Highlander Lili has recently met when helping with the Pumpkin Cafe opening night. He also is a friend of her adopted son, Ado. After a night out together, he confessed to feelings of a more romantic nature, and the two have been slowly getting to know one another from there. He is also the one that gave her a little pet fawn whom she affectionately calls Dot. As their interractions have progressed, as well as his hints and confessions to seeing Lili as a prospective wife, it left her flattered by his intense emotions. While she still cares for him, they have drifted into more of a close friendship.

[[Sarial Hawke|''●''Sarial Hawke]]: A female Highlander that met Lili at the Pumpkin Cafe opening. She gave Lili a thirty thousand gil tip both out of appreciation of her services as a waitress and to help her kickstart things with her adoption of Adokenai. Since then the woman has blatantly admitted her desire for Lili, though after Lili chose C'kayah as her mate, the two haven't spoken much and Sarial has kept her distance. Over time, Lili has had people come to her about some of the less then savory things Sarial has supposedly said about her, though she seems to pay it no mind.

●[[Tendha'a Rendha]]: A male Miqo'te whom Lili met shortly after the creation of the Vanguard. The two quickly became friends and confidants, and he is the mate of T'shina Vashka. Since Lili and C'kayah started seeing one another, neither of the two have spoken much and he never said a word when he officially left the Society with T'shina and a few others.

''●''●[[Toff Vaughn]]: One of Ado's original guardians, Lili went to Toff and Katiti before she formally adopted Ado. While she respects the man, his childish bouts of attitude test the limits of her temper, including with how he has grown the habit lately of flirting with taken women. Whether he seems to know they're taken or not.

''●''●[[Togy Brandmakt]]: A previous lover, the two seperated due to Togy's wanderings and traveling keeping them apart moreso then together. While not on bad terms, his unstable nature and her mixed responses to his off days makes their interractions a hit-or-miss.

●[[T'shina Vashka]]: A young woman Lili regards as a friend, the recent interractions Lili has had with C'kayah has strained their relationship. Afterwards, the two didn't speak for a while and had one rather large argument that Tenha'a even became part that drove Lili away emotionally. Things never fully recovered after that, and when finding out that Lili and C'kayah were still together, she resigned from the Society.

●[[U'zhan Tia]]: A Miqo'te that Lili met due to his associations with T'shina, he asked Lili to go adventuring with him. Shortly afterwards, he stopped speaking with her. Having gotten the impression he was very much like the womanizing 'Nunh' types he claimed to dislike so much, Lili has had very little desire to rekindle a friendship.

== History/Timeline ==

=== 1544-1559 Childhood/adolescence ===

Born an only child, Lili had a comfortable life with her parents living in Ul'dah. Taking frequent trips to the countryside and the desert to look for new herbs and roots and other things that were in demand or that her parents needed to discover. They met a variety of people and went a variety places before Lili even learned how to walk, though their home territory was always Ul'dah and the Thanalans. Around the time Lili was just turning five, her parents decided to relocate to La Noscea and start maping and surveying the lush island terrain. While on the cargo ship to Limsa Lominsa, the Altairs discovered a tiny bundle that was wailing and screaming and covered in bloodied rags. A newborn Miqo'te child, still covered in the blood of labor pains, though with no mother in sight. No one on the ship knew where she came from, and eventually Lili's parents made her part of the family and named her Rahsha.

Time passed easily in La Noscea. Lili treasured little Rahsha as if she was a blood sister. The tail and ears were only a cute little addition Lili liked to play with. Around the time she was eight and Rahsha was barely three, a family moved in nearby from Ala Mhigo with a single child of their own. A dark skinned, blonde haired, red eyed little prankster of a boy named Ghislan Nightwing. He was immidiately taken with Lili, even as a young boy, and showed it in his typical fashion of flipping her skirts, pulling on her head, and throwing sand and mud balls at he face. This usually earned him retaliation of equal brutality by Lili, with assistance from little Rahsha while their parents looked on with affection and amusement.

The years passed without incident. The comings and goings of the outside world seemed far away from Lili. Her life consisted of her family and Ghislan, and it seemed to be all she needed. As Ghislan and Lili got older, they went from children to friends, and before long, they were fawning over one another in the typical girlish and boyish fashions. Shortly after Lili's fourteenth birthday gathering, their love for one another was too much to be contained (in their young eyes at least). Following their coupling, Lili realized she was pregnant, and the two quickly escaped into the night to find the closest Priestess of Menphina to bless a union between them. Their elopement was received with a measure of shock and surprise that was quickly welcomed by all, save for Rahsha. Feeling that her sister abandoned her, the little Miqo'te never quite outgrew such feelings.

And thus began the life of Mrs. Lilithium Nightwing.

=== 1559-1569 Lilithium Amal'thea Nightwing ===

The married life was one Lili slipped into with ease. Shortly after turning fifteen summers, she gave birth to Khavan Amadeus Nightwing, who looked more like his father then anything else. Despite being young, they were hard working with Lili spending the majority of her time as a house wife taking care of their son with the aide of both of their parents. While Rahsha was loving to a degree to Khavan, she was still distant with her sister. It was something that, while Lili mourned for the lack of emotion she got from her, she couldn't focus on too deeply and still provide the needed care for her family.

During the first few years of their marriage, Ghislan continued to grow. Taller and taller and taller, reaching well past the average height for a Highlander. While it certainly got attention in a crowd and delighted Lili as well, it caught the eye of a few mercenary groups who saw great potential. Soon, he was recruited and cycled through a few companies who paid well and the work was mostly geared towards training. It brought in enough profit that Lili and Ghislan built their family home from the ground up. A beautiful, pale stoned cottage melded with shells from the nearby shore.

Throwing a grand celebration with friends to honor the new homestead, everyone (even Lili) drank in good cheer. One man amoungst them, however, took advantage of the situation. A long time friend of the couples' who joined Ghislan as a healer in some of his fights and jobs, his poor health would be the death of him soon and they all knew it. Amore Silverlark was his name, and he was the only living member of his family. Determined to not leave this world without carrying out his family name, he guided a very intoxicated Lili to a back room to take advantage, and succeeded with getting her pregnant. Overcome by guilt, he confessed to Ghislan who nearly killed him on the spot were it not for Lili intervening. Barely able to let it pass, Ghislan agreed to curb his animosity while it was discussed on what to do. A few weeks later, Amore succumbed to his illness and passed away, leaving Lili and Ghislan with two choices: Keep the illegitimate children, or find a way to terminate the pregnancy.

Months later, Deisarameda and Sarameda Silverlark were born. In honor of Amore and Ghislan's more happy history together, they kept the surname and Ghislan raised them as his own. Sadly, they inherited their father's illness and were in poor health as children and even into their now adult life.

Shortly after the girls were born, Lili's parents died abruptly in a house fire. Mere days later, Rahsha disappeared with what little belongings she covered from the fire. To this day, Lili has rarely seen sight of her adopted sister and has heard rumors that she retreated to the Shroud to perhaps find clues to her true family.

The years passed without incident. Ghislan put aside his mercenary life to join the military efforts around La Noscea and even beyond. During one particular assignment he was doing freelance for the Immortal Flames, they were attacked by Garleans in which Ghislan was captured and taken away. There was never a body recovered, and Lili was wracked by grief for a number of years. Even with her children there as support, it slowly became accepted that Ghislan was likely dead and never returning. Her soulmate, the love of her life, the father of her children, was gone. There was no more to be done.

And so, life went on.

=== 1569/0-Present Calamity ===

Lili ended up retaking her maiden name of Altair a few years after Ghislan passed, not feeling right baring the name of her dead husband. The day of the Calamity, Lili and her three children visited the empty grave on a little cliff over looking the sea that was dedicated to Ghislan. All four watched in complete horror as the world around them was torn to bits and land and buildings became decimated. Thankfully, their home remained intact and they suffered no severe losses. Lili focused more on her alchemical talents to help locals and those in the cities while making a little extra money for herself and her family. Within the last two years, her children grew up into beautiful, capable young adults. All three starting to go their own ways to build their new lives. It left Lili in an interesting position: After almost two decades of being married, being widowed, raising children...she now had time to focus on herself. A thrilling but frightening prospect she still has difficulty comprehending to this day.

Lili spent the first few months trying to find hobbies. Interests. Even dabbling in the company of courtesans to appease some of the loneliness seeped into her heart. Money that Ghislan left behind in his passing was enough to sustain her day-to-day life, but she still felt empty. Unfulfilled. Without her soulmate, she began to wonder if she'd eventually die of a broken heart the way some songbirds did when their mates passed. During a trip out by Moraby, Lili came across a Miqo'te man named [[Kolhi'to Embhre]] who passed along a possible business proposition at his free company, Black Sun Trading. Intrigued, Lili followed through on the matter and found employment working for the Silverstars, Matthias and Althena. It gave her a new purpose and new motivation, and during that time she met and had a brief coupling with one of her coworkers named [[Togy Brandmakt]]. While things didn't last, it opened a door for her she never thought she'd try again: Dating.

Work for Lili in Black Sun was usually fairly slow, with the occasional incident breaking up the monotony of each daily routine. But the people were interesting, and many interesting occurrences happened in the Bismarck from laughter to violence. Later, it was announced that the trading company would become an academy (Black Sun Academy), and Lili became the school receptionist. She kept an eye when she could on some of the more naive members and prospective students, including a young woman named [[Mouse Wytchwood]]. Through an old lover, Lili learned of Mouse's mysterious nature and past and vowed to keep it quiet and continue to help watching the girl from afar. Her focus became the school, as well as finding ways to relieve herself of her loneliness. She took her alchemy back up again, as well as continued her parents' legacy and proficiency in botany.

More time passed with very little incident. For a period, Lili was surrounded by an influx of interested parties who wished to start relationships with her. Only one caught her interest in the end, a miqo'te man she met through Kolhi'to named [[Darturu Torlan]]. Charmed and taken in by his good manners, wit, and appearence, he soon became a regular part of her life. And soon, a significant other. Shortly after this her youngest daughter, Sarameda, became ill. Needing constant care and attention, Lili took an extended period of time to be with her daughter and away from the world. Including away from Darturu.

Shortly after Sara finally recovered, Lili heard everyone had relocated to Ul'dah to start up a new company with Kolhi'to as head of the organization. A mercenary group called the Blacktalon Vanguard, and Darturu was his partner. Lili relocated so as to help with the group, as well as be supportive of Dart. While the relationship with Darturu didn't last and they eventually parted ways, she still met many new people and still talks to quite a few even after she left the Vanguard to start her own group, the Free Wing Society. During this time she met a young lalachild named [[Adokenai Kodomo]], a resident tot at the Quicksand that seemed to be cared after by Momodi and the adventurers that inhabited the place. So taken by him, she decided to adopt the boy as her own and the announcement was made at the opening of the Pumpkin Cafe. There, she met two people: [[Rock Shattermountain]] and [[Sarial Hawke]], both of whom took a liking to the woman and her charms. They later joined the Society, along with others that Lili knew from Blacktalon and beyond.

Also during this time, she met a man named [[C'kayah Tia]] who supplied with her alchemical regents that she was having a hard time getting a hold of. The attraction between the two was almost instant, and at the end of the night Lili decided to give him a link to her personal pearl. Not expecting to hear from him for quite some time (if ever), Lili was surprised when he got a hold of her almost immediately afterwards. It set off a chain of interactions that sent them down an unexpectedly passionate path of emotions and intimacy that Lili never seemed able to push aside. Even though at the begining she was wary, he made her feel like she could take a chance. It led her to meeting even more people, like [[Kenthy Pennyfeather]] and [[Miah Polaali]], and eventually led to her and Kayah becoming mates. While their relationship was 'open' and unconventional, she also took in a lover named [[Kaiten Skyborn]] while C'kayah took in his own interests.

The Society continued to thrive, though some of her friendships suffered as a product of her relationship with C'kayah. Her long standing friendship with [[T'shina Vashka]] and [[Tenha'a Rendha]] being the primary ones, as their dislike of C'kayah and vehemence against Lili being with him led to them recently leaving the Society. While this happened, Lili remained firm in her decision to spend her future with the male. Life continued to change, and still does to this day. Most recently she and C'kayah have become engaged, she has offered her and the Society's aid in the Doman refugee matters, and continues raising and caring after Ado.

=== General ===

'''Lilithium Altair (Lil-ith-ium Ah-l-tair) '''is a older Hyur midlander who is often seen in and around Ul'dah and various other parts of Eorzea. Her maternal nature and affectionate disposition leaves her well liked by most who come across her. Widowed three years before the Calamity and with her three children all grown and out of the house as of roughly a year ago, Lili finds that she's able to focus on herself and her own happiness for the first time since her teens. It's left her with many doorways of oppurtunity to choose from, some full of light and adventure while others harbor a darker purpose...

Recently, she has become the owner of a staffing company known as the Free Wing Society and adopted a little boy named Adokenai. On top of that, she has opened her heart that led to avenues she never dared dream were possible. She currently has a mate (C'kayah Tia), and a lover (Kaiten Skyborn) who further enrich her life along with the various friends she has made along the way.

'''Note: Lili is able to see the aether of various individuals she meets. They manifest as light and colors, and I will sometimes whisper people OOC to determine what their aether is like so Lili can react or adjust accordingly.'''

=== Appearance ===

[[File:LiliSelf.png|none|LiliSelf.png]]

Standing at 5 fulm and 4 ilm, Lili is used to seeing the world from the shorter side of things. She used to wear her pale blonde hair long and nearly to her elbows, but almost two moons ago she chopped it rather short. Recently, she's grown it out again. Her eyes are very light green with a silvery cast to the color to give it an odd shimmering quality. While her features deceive others of her true age, she bares what marks she has with pride: Some crows feet at the corner of her eyes that show when she laughs, and similar lines at the corner of her lips that only start to show when she is smiling broadly. Having bared three children (two of which were twins), she was left with rather shapely hips and added curves that she had not possessed in her youth. One of the physical features most noticed by some who meet Lili is her rather large bust despite her small size. It usually causes her a myriad of problems, as some of her shorter Miqo'te friends and Lalafell companions sometimes get suffocated when she hugs them. The rest of her is well toned from the muscle and strenght it takes to wield her axe and fist weapons, and sunkissed from her years by the shores of Limsa or the sands of Ul'dah. Around her neck is a long chain with little silver fingerbells attached to it, and on her ring finger looks to be a wedding or engagement ring of some kind.

=== Behavior ===

Having gotten pregnant at fourteen and raising or looking after her children and those of others left Lili with a maternal nature that has been driven down to the core of her very being. She tends to look out for those around her, especially those that she feels a soft spot for, or those around her children's age (teens to early twenties range). Though this maternal drive of hers doesn't make her a pushover in the least, as it is possible to ignite her ire with the right buttons being pushed. Over all, she's calm and even tempered and usually the voice of reason for those around her. Ever one to play devil's advocate.

== Combat ==

=== General ===

Lili hasn't had much of a need to show her skills publically, but in the few times she's sparred with friends she's shown a great aptitude for a martial arts style of combat. Her fists, being her primary weapon, are usually not the thing to worry about. They sometimes serve as a mere distraction for her rather powerful legs to catch someone off guard. When she does happen to use her axe, it's an interesting sight since some of the weaponry are almost as big as she is. Yet she yields them with ease, using all her force with each blow. She fights with a certain level of honor, though if the situation should call for it she won't be afraid to play dirty.

== Tendencies ==

[[File:LiliandAdo3.png]]

Always one for trying and learning new things, Lili spends much of her idle time active in one way or another. If she's not relaxing in the Quicksand or the occasional visit to the Drowning Wench, she'll be home or out and about doing some kind of activity or socializing.

''I've seen the various ♥ icons handled differently. Here, they are a heirarchy, much like ●, ●, and ●:''

♥ implies ♥ ♥ implies both ♥ and ♥

=== Family ===

●Ghislan Nightwing (deceased): Lili's late husband who went MIA during an assignment against the Garleans. After no body being found over the last near decade he's been gone, everyone has safely assumed he is dead and Lili no longer mourns her first and only true love. He was also of Ala Mhigan descent and large for a Highlander (7 fulms).

''●''[[Adokenai Kodomo]]: A young Lalachild who Lili met at the Quicksand one day. Since meeting, Lili had adopted the little boy as her own. He even calls her 'Mom' regularly, and comes running to her whenever he sees her. Usually when seen together, the little boy is being held by his new mother or playing around some where near by.

''●''Khavan Nightwing: Lili's oldest child and oldest son. At nineteen years of age, nearing twenty, Khavan is engaged to a male elezen and usually bothers Lili for wedding preperation.

''●''Sarameda Silverlark: Youngest twin daughter of Lilithium Altair and Amore Silverlark.

''●''Deisarameda Silverlark: Oldest twin daughter of Lilithium Altair and Amore Silverlark.

●Rahsha Altair: A Sunseeker miqo'te that Lili's parents found when Lili was only five. Abandoned on a supply ship, no one knows her tribal origin and could never relocate birth parents. Rahsha and Lili grew apart after Lili left home, and now the two rarely see one another.

''●''Andromeda and Reiko Altair (deceased): Lili's parents died shortly after the twins were born in a simple but tragic fire. Both were botanists who were unmatched in their knowledge of the land and its bountiful treasures.

=== Other Relationships ===

''●''[[Aedan Mathis]]: On her way to gather herbs in the Sylphlands, she came across a Hyur slumped over his faithful chocobo. Bloodied and unconscious, Lili took him to the nearby Sanctum of the Twelve and managed to save his life. While the two aren't in close contact, she sees him sporadically and keep in the back of her mind his offer to look after her children as a way of thanks for her helping him.

''●''[[Aya Foxheart]]: The Quicksand's favorite barmaid, Lili worked alongside C'kayah to help Aya with some personal problems, and offered the woman multiple safe places to hide away at should she had needed it. Afterwards, she hasn't seen much of her, though that hasn't stopped the affection she began to feel towards the woman.

♥●[[Azeiox Nelles]]: An elezen Lili met one day at the Quicksand who always seems to be looking out for her son and letting him right on his shoulder without batting an eye. Intimidating at first, she later found his more quiet nature to be comforting and enjoys spending time with him when she can. The nature of their relationship to outsiders appears friendly, though if there is anything else going on their certainly don't show it.

♥●[[Chokho Viqqoh]]: A Keeper woman Lili met at the fishfry event the Society put on, she flirted rather heavily with Lili and even poured a cup of water on her to see her wet in her bikkini. They met up later when they found out they were neighbors, and have started a comfortable friendship. Chokho has made her attraction known, and Lili returned the sentiment. Their lives keep them busy and often apart, though they make time to spend with one another when they can.

''♥●''[[C'kayah Tia]]: A Miqo'te who once supplied Lili with alchemical materials she was having a hard time acquiring, he was smitten with her from the start and she rejected his advances over and over again. Instead, teasing him with playful retorts and equally playful skepticism. They ended up being around one another off and on as time went on, and over time Lili came to see that his feelings and gestures were indeed sincere and affectionate by his repeat efforts to prove such. Since asking her to be his mate, and she in turn asking him to marry her, the two have been through great obstacles that have made them stronger then ever. When seen together, Lili couldn't be happier.

''●''[[Darturu Torlan]]: Darturu and Lili were once mated, but his co-creation of the Blacktalon Vanguard made balancing work and a relationship difficult. The two eventually decided to part ways, still caring for one another, but now left to their own devices. As time has passed and seeing less and less of him, her feelings had softened to the point where romance is no longer something she entertains with the Miqo'te. They have not seen one another since she left the Vanguard, and she seems to have no desire to change that.

''●''[[Dheina Tayuun]]: A young Miqo'te she met when coming back to Ul'dah via her previous mate, Darturu. They keep in touch sporadically, and have a pleasent friendship.

♥●[[Graeldelon Bloodrage]]: One of the newer members of the Society, Lili doesn't know the young man very well. However she can occasionally be caught looking at him with a faint and curious little smile as well as fussing over recent wounds he suffered as part of a training exercise.

''●''●[[Kagewoe Erasus]]: Fiance of Nymira's, Kage is also one of her officers. While she is not close to the male, she is confident in his abilities to help her and Nym keep everyone in line and together. Recent events with the Society have the two walking on thin ice around one another and generally not around one another.

''●''[[Kal Numara]]: A Highlander woman who is also a friend of Lili's. Usually teasing her, and constantly referring to her as 'Mama' or 'Mama Lili'. Such teasings are usually met with Lili retaliating (playfully so).

[[Kenthy Pennyfeather|''●''Kenthy Pennyfeather]]: A miqo'te Lili met through her interractions with C'kayah and the Morbolvines, she's grown a light friendship with the woman, as well as quite a bit of respect due to the help that was given to her during her experience in the form of a Moonkeeper. Despite her sassy and slightly abrasive nature, Lili finds her pleasent. During a series of discussions involving Kenthy and C'kayah's desire to add intimacy to their current relationship, Kenthy lashed out at Lili in a way that had her feeling almost hostile towards the woman. Later on, the two women managed to patch things up and Lili gave Kenthy her blessing to be involved with C'kayah. She doesn't see the redhead regular, but should one ask she considers her a friend.

♥●[[Kaiten Skyborn]]: Lili and this hyur were involved for an extended period as lovers and friends. Due to less and less time spent together and Lili's recent engagement to C'kayah, the two have drifted apart. While she still loves the man deeply, she has taken strides to try and move forward and onward. However, she still thinks of him often.

♥●[[Kaohastraal Aeseroix]]:A very large roe man that was introduced to Lili via T'shina at the fish fry event. His Garlean name took her aback at first, but when they started talking he eased her mind and explained some of his story. He's admitted to having an interest in her on many levels, and they've agreed to simply get to know one another. Though it's hard to know what Lili is thinking when they're seen together.

''●''[[Katiti Kati]]: Lili met this Lalafell around the time she met Ado, who served alongside Toff as one of the Lalachild's unofficial guardians. She eventually joined the Society, being hired as Ado's official teacher. Lili trusts her judgement, but worries with how much she stresses over things all the time.

[[Kolhi'to Embhre|''●''Kolhi'to Embhre]]: Creator of the Blacktalon Vanguard and Lili's former employer, Lili has known Kol for quite some time. However, they seem neither friendly nor hostile. Instead only polite when meeting or speaking in passing. More often then not Kol's grumpy attitude tends to irk Lili even if she may not always show it.

''●''[[Leon Maxwell]]: A young boy Lili met through Tenha'a, she's done her best to look out for his well being and educate him on matters he inquires about, such as love. Knowing a few tidbits about his current health and situation, she's been doing some research into what can possibly be done to help him. Between her work in the Society and his involvements in other matters, assisting him hasn't been as large of a priority. Recently, she learned that he found a cure which brought her happiness to know that perhaps now he could live a long and healthy life.

♥●[[Locke Rinannis]]: She had seen this man when he was around one of the free company houses next to Blacktalon, though never spoke to him or approached him. Later, she heard he was looking for work and offered him a job at the Society. He's one of her most quiet employees, and as a result she actively tries to drag him around the others and be social. His polite demeanor and timidity charms her, and she finds him rather attractive though she values him as a friend and workmate moreso then anything.

''●''[[Mouse Wytchwood]]: A miqo'te girl with odd origins and green hair, Lili has always regarded the girl with motherly concern and attention. From watching her from afar or explaining terms and concepts she does not easily grasp or helping with her hair. She knows enough of Mouse's backstory to keep her eye on the girl when she's able to, and to try and guide harm out of her way.

''●''[[Nymira Valeroyant]]: One of the members of the Society and its' main healer, Nym is not only a good friend of Lili's but also one of her officers to help keep the Society running smoothly.

''●''[[Rock Shattermountain]]: A Highlander Lili has recently met when helping with the Pumpkin Cafe opening night. He also is a friend of her adopted son, Ado. After a night out together, he confessed to feelings of a more romantic nature, and the two have been slowly getting to know one another from there. He is also the one that gave her a little pet fawn whom she affectionately calls Dot. As their interractions have progressed, as well as his hints and confessions to seeing Lili as a prospective wife, it left her flattered by his intense emotions. While she still cares for him, they have drifted into more of a close friendship.

[[Sarial Hawke|''●''Sarial Hawke]]: A female Highlander that met Lili at the Pumpkin Cafe opening. She gave Lili a thirty thousand gil tip both out of appreciation of her services as a waitress and to help her kickstart things with her adoption of Adokenai. Since then the woman has blatantly admitted her desire for Lili, though after Lili chose C'kayah as her mate, the two haven't spoken much and Sarial has kept her distance. Over time, Lili has had people come to her about some of the less then savory things Sarial has supposedly said about her, though she seems to pay it no mind.

●[[Tendha'a Rendha]]: A male Miqo'te whom Lili met shortly after the creation of the Vanguard. The two quickly became friends and confidants, and he is the mate of T'shina Vashka. Since Lili and C'kayah started seeing one another, neither of the two have spoken much and he never said a word when he officially left the Society with T'shina and a few others.

''●''●[[Toff Vaughn]]: One of Ado's original guardians, Lili went to Toff and Katiti before she formally adopted Ado. While she respects the man, his childish bouts of attitude test the limits of her temper, including with how he has grown the habit lately of flirting with taken women. Whether he seems to know they're taken or not.

''●''●[[Togy Brandmakt]]: A previous lover, the two seperated due to Togy's wanderings and traveling keeping them apart moreso then together. While not on bad terms, his unstable nature and her mixed responses to his off days makes their interractions a hit-or-miss.

●[[T'shina Vashka]]: A young woman Lili regards as a friend, the recent interractions Lili has had with C'kayah has strained their relationship. Afterwards, the two didn't speak for a while and had one rather large argument that Tenha'a even became part that drove Lili away emotionally. Things never fully recovered after that, and when finding out that Lili and C'kayah were still together, she resigned from the Society.

●[[U'zhan Tia]]: A Miqo'te that Lili met due to his associations with T'shina, he asked Lili to go adventuring with him. Shortly afterwards, he stopped speaking with her. Having gotten the impression he was very much like the womanizing 'Nunh' types he claimed to dislike so much, Lili has had very little desire to rekindle a friendship.

== History/Timeline ==

=== 1544-1559 Childhood/adolescence ===

Born an only child, Lili had a comfortable life with her parents living in Ul'dah. Taking frequent trips to the countryside and the desert to look for new herbs and roots and other things that were in demand or that her parents needed to discover. They met a variety of people and went a variety places before Lili even learned how to walk, though their home territory was always Ul'dah and the Thanalans. Around the time Lili was just turning five, her parents decided to relocate to La Noscea and start maping and surveying the lush island terrain. While on the cargo ship to Limsa Lominsa, the Altairs discovered a tiny bundle that was wailing and screaming and covered in bloodied rags. A newborn Miqo'te child, still covered in the blood of labor pains, though with no mother in sight. No one on the ship knew where she came from, and eventually Lili's parents made her part of the family and named her Rahsha.

Time passed easily in La Noscea. Lili treasured little Rahsha as if she was a blood sister. The tail and ears were only a cute little addition Lili liked to play with. Around the time she was eight and Rahsha was barely three, a family moved in nearby from Ala Mhigo with a single child of their own. A dark skinned, blonde haired, red eyed little prankster of a boy named Ghislan Nightwing. He was immidiately taken with Lili, even as a young boy, and showed it in his typical fashion of flipping her skirts, pulling on her head, and throwing sand and mud balls at he face. This usually earned him retaliation of equal brutality by Lili, with assistance from little Rahsha while their parents looked on with affection and amusement.

The years passed without incident. The comings and goings of the outside world seemed far away from Lili. Her life consisted of her family and Ghislan, and it seemed to be all she needed. As Ghislan and Lili got older, they went from children to friends, and before long, they were fawning over one another in the typical girlish and boyish fashions. Shortly after Lili's fourteenth birthday gathering, their love for one another was too much to be contained (in their young eyes at least). Following their coupling, Lili realized she was pregnant, and the two quickly escaped into the night to find the closest Priestess of Menphina to bless a union between them. Their elopement was received with a measure of shock and surprise that was quickly welcomed by all, save for Rahsha. Feeling that her sister abandoned her, the little Miqo'te never quite outgrew such feelings.

And thus began the life of Mrs. Lilithium Nightwing.

=== 1559-1569 Lilithium Amal'thea Nightwing ===

The married life was one Lili slipped into with ease. Shortly after turning fifteen summers, she gave birth to Khavan Amadeus Nightwing, who looked more like his father then anything else. Despite being young, they were hard working with Lili spending the majority of her time as a house wife taking care of their son with the aide of both of their parents. While Rahsha was loving to a degree to Khavan, she was still distant with her sister. It was something that, while Lili mourned for the lack of emotion she got from her, she couldn't focus on too deeply and still provide the needed care for her family.

During the first few years of their marriage, Ghislan continued to grow. Taller and taller and taller, reaching well past the average height for a Highlander. While it certainly got attention in a crowd and delighted Lili as well, it caught the eye of a few mercenary groups who saw great potential. Soon, he was recruited and cycled through a few companies who paid well and the work was mostly geared towards training. It brought in enough profit that Lili and Ghislan built their family home from the ground up. A beautiful, pale stoned cottage melded with shells from the nearby shore.

Throwing a grand celebration with friends to honor the new homestead, everyone (even Lili) drank in good cheer. One man amoungst them, however, took advantage of the situation. A long time friend of the couples' who joined Ghislan as a healer in some of his fights and jobs, his poor health would be the death of him soon and they all knew it. Amore Silverlark was his name, and he was the only living member of his family. Determined to not leave this world without carrying out his family name, he guided a very intoxicated Lili to a back room to take advantage, and succeeded with getting her pregnant. Overcome by guilt, he confessed to Ghislan who nearly killed him on the spot were it not for Lili intervening. Barely able to let it pass, Ghislan agreed to curb his animosity while it was discussed on what to do. A few weeks later, Amore succumbed to his illness and passed away, leaving Lili and Ghislan with two choices: Keep the illegitimate children, or find a way to terminate the pregnancy.

Months later, Deisarameda and Sarameda Silverlark were born. In honor of Amore and Ghislan's more happy history together, they kept the surname and Ghislan raised them as his own. Sadly, they inherited their father's illness and were in poor health as children and even into their now adult life.

Shortly after the girls were born, Lili's parents died abruptly in a house fire. Mere days later, Rahsha disappeared with what little belongings she covered from the fire. To this day, Lili has rarely seen sight of her adopted sister and has heard rumors that she retreated to the Shroud to perhaps find clues to her true family.

The years passed without incident. Ghislan put aside his mercenary life to join the military efforts around La Noscea and even beyond. During one particular assignment he was doing freelance for the Immortal Flames, they were attacked by Garleans in which Ghislan was captured and taken away. There was never a body recovered, and Lili was wracked by grief for a number of years. Even with her children there as support, it slowly became accepted that Ghislan was likely dead and never returning. Her soulmate, the love of her life, the father of her children, was gone. There was no more to be done.

And so, life went on.

=== 1569/0-Present Calamity ===

Lili ended up retaking her maiden name of Altair a few years after Ghislan passed, not feeling right baring the name of her dead husband. The day of the Calamity, Lili and her three children visited the empty grave on a little cliff over looking the sea that was dedicated to Ghislan. All four watched in complete horror as the world around them was torn to bits and land and buildings became decimated. Thankfully, their home remained intact and they suffered no severe losses. Lili focused more on her alchemical talents to help locals and those in the cities while making a little extra money for herself and her family. Within the last two years, her children grew up into beautiful, capable young adults. All three starting to go their own ways to build their new lives. It left Lili in an interesting position: After almost two decades of being married, being widowed, raising children...she now had time to focus on herself. A thrilling but frightening prospect she still has difficulty comprehending to this day.

Lili spent the first few months trying to find hobbies. Interests. Even dabbling in the company of courtesans to appease some of the loneliness seeped into her heart. Money that Ghislan left behind in his passing was enough to sustain her day-to-day life, but she still felt empty. Unfulfilled. Without her soulmate, she began to wonder if she'd eventually die of a broken heart the way some songbirds did when their mates passed. During a trip out by Moraby, Lili came across a Miqo'te man named [[Kolhi'to Embhre]] who passed along a possible business proposition at his free company, Black Sun Trading. Intrigued, Lili followed through on the matter and found employment working for the Silverstars, Matthias and Althena. It gave her a new purpose and new motivation, and during that time she met and had a brief coupling with one of her coworkers named [[Togy Brandmakt]]. While things didn't last, it opened a door for her she never thought she'd try again: Dating.

Work for Lili in Black Sun was usually fairly slow, with the occasional incident breaking up the monotony of each daily routine. But the people were interesting, and many interesting occurrences happened in the Bismarck from laughter to violence. Later, it was announced that the trading company would become an academy (Black Sun Academy), and Lili became the school receptionist. She kept an eye when she could on some of the more naive members and prospective students, including a young woman named [[Mouse Wytchwood]]. Through an old lover, Lili learned of Mouse's mysterious nature and past and vowed to keep it quiet and continue to help watching the girl from afar. Her focus became the school, as well as finding ways to relieve herself of her loneliness. She took her alchemy back up again, as well as continued her parents' legacy and proficiency in botany.

More time passed with very little incident. For a period, Lili was surrounded by an influx of interested parties who wished to start relationships with her. Only one caught her interest in the end, a miqo'te man she met through Kolhi'to named [[Darturu Torlan]]. Charmed and taken in by his good manners, wit, and appearence, he soon became a regular part of her life. And soon, a significant other. Shortly after this her youngest daughter, Sarameda, became ill. Needing constant care and attention, Lili took an extended period of time to be with her daughter and away from the world. Including away from Darturu.

Shortly after Sara finally recovered, Lili heard everyone had relocated to Ul'dah to start up a new company with Kolhi'to as head of the organization. A mercenary group called the Blacktalon Vanguard, and Darturu was his partner. Lili relocated so as to help with the group, as well as be supportive of Dart. While the relationship with Darturu didn't last and they eventually parted ways, she still met many new people and still talks to quite a few even after she left the Vanguard to start her own group, the Free Wing Society. During this time she met a young lalachild named [[Adokenai Kodomo]], a resident tot at the Quicksand that seemed to be cared after by Momodi and the adventurers that inhabited the place. So taken by him, she decided to adopt the boy as her own and the announcement was made at the opening of the Pumpkin Cafe. There, she met two people: [[Rock Shattermountain]] and [[Sarial Hawke]], both of whom took a liking to the woman and her charms. They later joined the Society, along with others that Lili knew from Blacktalon and beyond.

Also during this time, she met a man named [[C'kayah Tia]] who supplied with her alchemical regents that she was having a hard time getting a hold of. The attraction between the two was almost instant, and at the end of the night Lili decided to give him a link to her personal pearl. Not expecting to hear from him for quite some time (if ever), Lili was surprised when he got a hold of her almost immediately afterwards. It set off a chain of interactions that sent them down an unexpectedly passionate path of emotions and intimacy that Lili never seemed able to push aside. Even though at the begining she was wary, he made her feel like she could take a chance. It led her to meeting even more people, like [[Kenthy Pennyfeather]] and [[Miah Polaali]], and eventually led to her and Kayah becoming mates. While their relationship was 'open' and unconventional, she also took in a lover named [[Kaiten Skyborn]] while C'kayah took in his own interests.

The Society continued to thrive, though some of her friendships suffered as a product of her relationship with C'kayah. Her long standing friendship with [[T'shina Vashka]] and [[Tenha'a Rendha]] being the primary ones, as their dislike of C'kayah and vehemence against Lili being with him led to them recently leaving the Society. While this happened, Lili remained firm in her decision to spend her future with the male. Life continued to change, and still does to this day. Most recently she and C'kayah have become engaged, she has offered her and the Society's aid in the Doman refugee matters, and continues raising and caring after Ado.

:-Lili is very kind and affectionate to most people she meets. That doesn't necessarily mean she's flirting with you. 
:-I tend to ignore or shut down individuals who get upset OOC about not being romantically involved with Lili and/or not getting the oppurtunity. She didn't pick you so there's probably a reason. Get over it.

=== General ===

'''Lilithium Altair (Lil-ith-ium Ah-l-tair) '''is a older Hyur midlander who is often seen in and around Ul'dah and various other parts of Eorzea. Her maternal nature and affectionate disposition leaves her well liked by most who come across her. Widowed three years before the Calamity and with her three children all grown and out of the house as of roughly a year ago, Lili finds that she's able to focus on herself and her own happiness for the first time since her teens. It's left her with many doorways of oppurtunity to choose from, some full of light and adventure while others harbor a darker purpose...

Recently, she has become the owner of a staffing company known as the Free Wing Society and adopted a little boy named Adokenai. On top of that, she has opened her heart that led to avenues she never dared dream were possible. She currently has a mate (C'kayah Tia), and a lover (Kaiten Skyborn) who further enrich her life along with the various friends she has made along the way.

'''Note: Lili is able to see the aether of various individuals she meets. They manifest as light and colors, and I will sometimes whisper people OOC to determine what their aether is like so Lili can react or adjust accordingly.'''

=== Appearance ===

[[File:LiliSelf.png|none|LiliSelf.png]]

Standing at 5 fulm and 4 ilm, Lili is used to seeing the world from the shorter side of things. She used to wear her pale blonde hair long and nearly to her elbows, but almost two moons ago she chopped it rather short. Recently, she's grown it out again. Her eyes are very light green with a silvery cast to the color to give it an odd shimmering quality. While her features deceive others of her true age, she bares what marks she has with pride: Some crows feet at the corner of her eyes that show when she laughs, and similar lines at the corner of her lips that only start to show when she is smiling broadly. Having bared three children (two of which were twins), she was left with rather shapely hips and added curves that she had not possessed in her youth. One of the physical features most noticed by some who meet Lili is her rather large bust despite her small size. It usually causes her a myriad of problems, as some of her shorter Miqo'te friends and Lalafell companions sometimes get suffocated when she hugs them. The rest of her is well toned from the muscle and strenght it takes to wield her axe and fist weapons, and sunkissed from her years by the shores of Limsa or the sands of Ul'dah. Around her neck is a long chain with little silver fingerbells attached to it, and on her ring finger looks to be a wedding or engagement ring of some kind.

[[File:LiliandWhisper2.jpg|none|LiliandWhisper2.jpg]]

=== Behavior ===

Having gotten pregnant at fourteen and raising or looking after her children and those of others left Lili with a maternal nature that has been driven down to the core of her very being. She tends to look out for those around her, especially those that she feels a soft spot for, or those around her children's age (teens to early twenties range). Though this maternal drive of hers doesn't make her a pushover in the least, as it is possible to ignite her ire with the right buttons being pushed. Over all, she's calm and even tempered and usually the voice of reason for those around her. Ever one to play devil's advocate.

== Combat ==

=== General ===

Lili hasn't had much of a need to show her skills publically, but in the few times she's sparred with friends she's shown a great aptitude for a martial arts style of combat. Her fists, being her primary weapon, are usually not the thing to worry about. They sometimes serve as a mere distraction for her rather powerful legs to catch someone off guard. When she does happen to use her axe, it's an interesting sight since some of the weaponry are almost as big as she is. Yet she yields them with ease, using all her force with each blow. She fights with a certain level of honor, though if the situation should call for it she won't be afraid to play dirty.

== Tendencies ==

[[File:LiliandAdo3.png]]

Always one for trying and learning new things, Lili spends much of her idle time active in one way or another. If she's not relaxing in the Quicksand or the occasional visit to the Drowning Wench, she'll be home or out and about doing some kind of activity or socializing.

''I've seen the various ♥ icons handled differently. Here, they are a heirarchy, much like ●, ●, and ●:''

♥ implies ♥ ♥ implies both ♥ and ♥

=== Family ===

●Ghislan Nightwing (deceased): Lili's late husband who went MIA during an assignment against the Garleans. After no body being found over the last near decade he's been gone, everyone has safely assumed he is dead and Lili no longer mourns her first and only true love. He was also of Ala Mhigan descent and large for a Highlander (7 fulms).

''●''[[Adokenai Kodomo]]: A young Lalachild who Lili met at the Quicksand one day. Since meeting, Lili had adopted the little boy as her own. He even calls her 'Mom' regularly, and comes running to her whenever he sees her. Usually when seen together, the little boy is being held by his new mother or playing around some where near by.

''●''Khavan Nightwing: Lili's oldest child and oldest son. At nineteen years of age, nearing twenty, Khavan is engaged to a male elezen and usually bothers Lili for wedding preperation.

''●''Sarameda Silverlark: Youngest twin daughter of Lilithium Altair and Amore Silverlark.

''●''Deisarameda Silverlark: Oldest twin daughter of Lilithium Altair and Amore Silverlark.

●Rahsha Altair: A Sunseeker miqo'te that Lili's parents found when Lili was only five. Abandoned on a supply ship, no one knows her tribal origin and could never relocate birth parents. Rahsha and Lili grew apart after Lili left home, and now the two rarely see one another.

''●''Andromeda and Reiko Altair (deceased): Lili's parents died shortly after the twins were born in a simple but tragic fire. Both were botanists who were unmatched in their knowledge of the land and its bountiful treasures.

=== Other Relationships ===

''●''[[Aedan Mathis]]: On her way to gather herbs in the Sylphlands, she came across a Hyur slumped over his faithful chocobo. Bloodied and unconscious, Lili took him to the nearby Sanctum of the Twelve and managed to save his life. While the two aren't in close contact, she sees him sporadically and keep in the back of her mind his offer to look after her children as a way of thanks for her helping him.

''●''[[Aya Foxheart]]: The Quicksand's favorite barmaid, Lili worked alongside C'kayah to help Aya with some personal problems, and offered the woman multiple safe places to hide away at should she had needed it. Afterwards, she hasn't seen much of her, though that hasn't stopped the affection she began to feel towards the woman.

♥●[[Azeiox Nelles]]: An elezen Lili met one day at the Quicksand who always seems to be looking out for her son and letting him right on his shoulder without batting an eye. Intimidating at first, she later found his more quiet nature to be comforting and enjoys spending time with him when she can. The nature of their relationship to outsiders appears friendly, though if there is anything else going on their certainly don't show it.

♥●[[Chokho Viqqoh]]: A Keeper woman Lili met at the fishfry event the Society put on, she flirted rather heavily with Lili and even poured a cup of water on her to see her wet in her bikkini. They met up later when they found out they were neighbors, and have started a comfortable friendship. Chokho has made her attraction known, and Lili returned the sentiment. Their lives keep them busy and often apart, though they make time to spend with one another when they can.

''♥●''[[C'kayah Tia]]: A Miqo'te who once supplied Lili with alchemical materials she was having a hard time acquiring, he was smitten with her from the start and she rejected his advances over and over again. Instead, teasing him with playful retorts and equally playful skepticism. They ended up being around one another off and on as time went on, and over time Lili came to see that his feelings and gestures were indeed sincere and affectionate by his repeat efforts to prove such. Since asking her to be his mate, and she in turn asking him to marry her, the two have been through great obstacles that have made them stronger then ever. When seen together, Lili couldn't be happier.

''●''[[Darturu Torlan]]: Darturu and Lili were once mated, but his co-creation of the Blacktalon Vanguard made balancing work and a relationship difficult. The two eventually decided to part ways, still caring for one another, but now left to their own devices. As time has passed and seeing less and less of him, her feelings had softened to the point where romance is no longer something she entertains with the Miqo'te. They have not seen one another since she left the Vanguard, and she seems to have no desire to change that.

''●''[[Dheina Tayuun]]: A young Miqo'te she met when coming back to Ul'dah via her previous mate, Darturu. They keep in touch sporadically, and have a pleasent friendship.

''●''●[[Kagewoe Erasus]]: Fiance of Nymira's, Kage is also one of her officers. While she is not close to the male, she is confident in his abilities to help her and Nym keep everyone in line and together. Recent events with the Society have the two walking on thin ice around one another and generally not around one another.

''●''[[Kal Numara]]: A Highlander woman who is also a friend of Lili's. Usually teasing her, and constantly referring to her as 'Mama' or 'Mama Lili'. Such teasings are usually met with Lili retaliating (playfully so).

[[Kenthy Pennyfeather|''●''Kenthy Pennyfeather]]: A miqo'te Lili met through her interractions with C'kayah and the Morbolvines, she's grown a light friendship with the woman, as well as quite a bit of respect due to the help that was given to her during her experience in the form of a Moonkeeper. Despite her sassy and slightly abrasive nature, Lili finds her pleasent. During a series of discussions involving Kenthy and C'kayah's desire to add intimacy to their current relationship, Kenthy lashed out at Lili in a way that had her feeling almost hostile towards the woman. Later on, the two women managed to patch things up and Lili gave Kenthy her blessing to be involved with C'kayah. She doesn't see the redhead regular, but should one ask she considers her a friend.

♥●[[Kaiten Skyborn]]: Lili and this hyur were involved for an extended period as lovers and friends. Due to less and less time spent together and Lili's recent engagement to C'kayah, the two have drifted apart. While she still loves the man deeply, she has taken strides to try and move forward and onward. However, she still thinks of him often.

♥●[[Kaohastraal Aeseroix]]:A very large roe man that was introduced to Lili via T'shina at the fish fry event. His Garlean name took her aback at first, but when they started talking he eased her mind and explained some of his story. He's admitted to having an interest in her on many levels, and they've agreed to simply get to know one another. Though it's hard to know what Lili is thinking when they're seen together.

''●''[[Katiti Kati]]: Lili met this Lalafell around the time she met Ado, who served alongside Toff as one of the Lalachild's unofficial guardians. She eventually joined the Society, being hired as Ado's official teacher. Lili trusts her judgement, but worries with how much she stresses over things all the time.

[[Kolhi'to Embhre|''●''Kolhi'to Embhre]]: Creator of the Blacktalon Vanguard and Lili's former employer, Lili has known Kol for quite some time. However, they seem neither friendly nor hostile. Instead only polite when meeting or speaking in passing. More often then not Kol's grumpy attitude tends to irk Lili even if she may not always show it.

''●''[[Leon Maxwell]]: A young boy Lili met through Tenha'a, she's done her best to look out for his well being and educate him on matters he inquires about, such as love. Knowing a few tidbits about his current health and situation, she's been doing some research into what can possibly be done to help him. Between her work in the Society and his involvements in other matters, assisting him hasn't been as large of a priority. Recently, she learned that he found a cure which brought her happiness to know that perhaps now he could live a long and healthy life.

♥●[[Locke Rinannis]]: She had seen this man when he was around one of the free company houses next to Blacktalon, though never spoke to him or approached him. Later, she heard he was looking for work and offered him a job at the Society. He's one of her most quiet employees, and as a result she actively tries to drag him around the others and be social. His polite demeanor and timidity charms her, and she finds him rather attractive though she values him as a friend and workmate moreso then anything.

''●''[[Mouse Wytchwood]]: A miqo'te girl with odd origins and green hair, Lili has always regarded the girl with motherly concern and attention. From watching her from afar or explaining terms and concepts she does not easily grasp or helping with her hair. She knows enough of Mouse's backstory to keep her eye on the girl when she's able to, and to try and guide harm out of her way.

''●''[[Nymira Valeroyant]]: One of the members of the Society and its' main healer, Nym is not only a good friend of Lili's but also one of her officers to help keep the Society running smoothly.

''●''[[Rock Shattermountain]]: A Highlander Lili has recently met when helping with the Pumpkin Cafe opening night. He also is a friend of her adopted son, Ado. After a night out together, he confessed to feelings of a more romantic nature, and the two have been slowly getting to know one another from there. He is also the one that gave her a little pet fawn whom she affectionately calls Dot. As their interractions have progressed, as well as his hints and confessions to seeing Lili as a prospective wife, it left her flattered by his intense emotions. While she still cares for him, they have drifted into more of a close friendship.

[[Sarial Hawke|''●''Sarial Hawke]]: A female Highlander that met Lili at the Pumpkin Cafe opening. She gave Lili a thirty thousand gil tip both out of appreciation of her services as a waitress and to help her kickstart things with her adoption of Adokenai. Since then the woman has blatantly admitted her desire for Lili, though after Lili chose C'kayah as her mate, the two haven't spoken much and Sarial has kept her distance. Over time, Lili has had people come to her about some of the less then savory things Sarial has supposedly said about her, though she seems to pay it no mind.

●[[Tendha'a Rendha]]: A male Miqo'te whom Lili met shortly after the creation of the Vanguard. The two quickly became friends and confidants, and he is the mate of T'shina Vashka. Since Lili and C'kayah started seeing one another, neither of the two have spoken much and he never said a word when he officially left the Society with T'shina and a few others.

''●''●[[Toff Vaughn]]: One of Ado's original guardians, Lili went to Toff and Katiti before she formally adopted Ado. While she respects the man, his childish bouts of attitude test the limits of her temper, including with how he has grown the habit lately of flirting with taken women. Whether he seems to know they're taken or not.

''●''●[[Togy Brandmakt]]: A previous lover, the two seperated due to Togy's wanderings and traveling keeping them apart moreso then together. While not on bad terms, his unstable nature and her mixed responses to his off days makes their interractions a hit-or-miss.

●[[T'shina Vashka]]: A young woman Lili regards as a friend, the recent interractions Lili has had with C'kayah has strained their relationship. Afterwards, the two didn't speak for a while and had one rather large argument that Tenha'a even became part that drove Lili away emotionally. Things never fully recovered after that, and when finding out that Lili and C'kayah were still together, she resigned from the Society.

●[[U'zhan Tia]]: A Miqo'te that Lili met due to his associations with T'shina, he asked Lili to go adventuring with him. Shortly afterwards, he stopped speaking with her. Having gotten the impression he was very much like the womanizing 'Nunh' types he claimed to dislike so much, Lili has had very little desire to rekindle a friendship.

== History/Timeline ==

=== 1544-1559 Childhood/adolescence ===

Born an only child, Lili had a comfortable life with her parents living in Ul'dah. Taking frequent trips to the countryside and the desert to look for new herbs and roots and other things that were in demand or that her parents needed to discover. They met a variety of people and went a variety places before Lili even learned how to walk, though their home territory was always Ul'dah and the Thanalans. Around the time Lili was just turning five, her parents decided to relocate to La Noscea and start maping and surveying the lush island terrain. While on the cargo ship to Limsa Lominsa, the Altairs discovered a tiny bundle that was wailing and screaming and covered in bloodied rags. A newborn Miqo'te child, still covered in the blood of labor pains, though with no mother in sight. No one on the ship knew where she came from, and eventually Lili's parents made her part of the family and named her Rahsha.

Time passed easily in La Noscea. Lili treasured little Rahsha as if she was a blood sister. The tail and ears were only a cute little addition Lili liked to play with. Around the time she was eight and Rahsha was barely three, a family moved in nearby from Ala Mhigo with a single child of their own. A dark skinned, blonde haired, red eyed little prankster of a boy named Ghislan Nightwing. He was immidiately taken with Lili, even as a young boy, and showed it in his typical fashion of flipping her skirts, pulling on her head, and throwing sand and mud balls at he face. This usually earned him retaliation of equal brutality by Lili, with assistance from little Rahsha while their parents looked on with affection and amusement.

The years passed without incident. The comings and goings of the outside world seemed far away from Lili. Her life consisted of her family and Ghislan, and it seemed to be all she needed. As Ghislan and Lili got older, they went from children to friends, and before long, they were fawning over one another in the typical girlish and boyish fashions. Shortly after Lili's fourteenth birthday gathering, their love for one another was too much to be contained (in their young eyes at least). Following their coupling, Lili realized she was pregnant, and the two quickly escaped into the night to find the closest Priestess of Menphina to bless a union between them. Their elopement was received with a measure of shock and surprise that was quickly welcomed by all, save for Rahsha. Feeling that her sister abandoned her, the little Miqo'te never quite outgrew such feelings.

And thus began the life of Mrs. Lilithium Nightwing.

=== 1559-1569 Lilithium Amal'thea Nightwing ===

The married life was one Lili slipped into with ease. Shortly after turning fifteen summers, she gave birth to Khavan Amadeus Nightwing, who looked more like his father then anything else. Despite being young, they were hard working with Lili spending the majority of her time as a house wife taking care of their son with the aide of both of their parents. While Rahsha was loving to a degree to Khavan, she was still distant with her sister. It was something that, while Lili mourned for the lack of emotion she got from her, she couldn't focus on too deeply and still provide the needed care for her family.

During the first few years of their marriage, Ghislan continued to grow. Taller and taller and taller, reaching well past the average height for a Highlander. While it certainly got attention in a crowd and delighted Lili as well, it caught the eye of a few mercenary groups who saw great potential. Soon, he was recruited and cycled through a few companies who paid well and the work was mostly geared towards training. It brought in enough profit that Lili and Ghislan built their family home from the ground up. A beautiful, pale stoned cottage melded with shells from the nearby shore.

Throwing a grand celebration with friends to honor the new homestead, everyone (even Lili) drank in good cheer. One man amoungst them, however, took advantage of the situation. A long time friend of the couples' who joined Ghislan as a healer in some of his fights and jobs, his poor health would be the death of him soon and they all knew it. Amore Silverlark was his name, and he was the only living member of his family. Determined to not leave this world without carrying out his family name, he guided a very intoxicated Lili to a back room to take advantage, and succeeded with getting her pregnant. Overcome by guilt, he confessed to Ghislan who nearly killed him on the spot were it not for Lili intervening. Barely able to let it pass, Ghislan agreed to curb his animosity while it was discussed on what to do. A few weeks later, Amore succumbed to his illness and passed away, leaving Lili and Ghislan with two choices: Keep the illegitimate children, or find a way to terminate the pregnancy.

Months later, Deisarameda and Sarameda Silverlark were born. In honor of Amore and Ghislan's more happy history together, they kept the surname and Ghislan raised them as his own. Sadly, they inherited their father's illness and were in poor health as children and even into their now adult life.

Shortly after the girls were born, Lili's parents died abruptly in a house fire. Mere days later, Rahsha disappeared with what little belongings she covered from the fire. To this day, Lili has rarely seen sight of her adopted sister and has heard rumors that she retreated to the Shroud to perhaps find clues to her true family.

The years passed without incident. Ghislan put aside his mercenary life to join the military efforts around La Noscea and even beyond. During one particular assignment he was doing freelance for the Immortal Flames, they were attacked by Garleans in which Ghislan was captured and taken away. There was never a body recovered, and Lili was wracked by grief for a number of years. Even with her children there as support, it slowly became accepted that Ghislan was likely dead and never returning. Her soulmate, the love of her life, the father of her children, was gone. There was no more to be done.

And so, life went on.

=== 1569/0-Present Calamity ===

Lili ended up retaking her maiden name of Altair a few years after Ghislan passed, not feeling right baring the name of her dead husband. The day of the Calamity, Lili and her three children visited the empty grave on a little cliff over looking the sea that was dedicated to Ghislan. All four watched in complete horror as the world around them was torn to bits and land and buildings became decimated. Thankfully, their home remained intact and they suffered no severe losses. Lili focused more on her alchemical talents to help locals and those in the cities while making a little extra money for herself and her family. Within the last two years, her children grew up into beautiful, capable young adults. All three starting to go their own ways to build their new lives. It left Lili in an interesting position: After almost two decades of being married, being widowed, raising children...she now had time to focus on herself. A thrilling but frightening prospect she still has difficulty comprehending to this day.

Lili spent the first few months trying to find hobbies. Interests. Even dabbling in the company of courtesans to appease some of the loneliness seeped into her heart. Money that Ghislan left behind in his passing was enough to sustain her day-to-day life, but she still felt empty. Unfulfilled. Without her soulmate, she began to wonder if she'd eventually die of a broken heart the way some songbirds did when their mates passed. During a trip out by Moraby, Lili came across a Miqo'te man named [[Kolhi'to Embhre]] who passed along a possible business proposition at his free company, Black Sun Trading. Intrigued, Lili followed through on the matter and found employment working for the Silverstars, Matthias and Althena. It gave her a new purpose and new motivation, and during that time she met and had a brief coupling with one of her coworkers named [[Togy Brandmakt]]. While things didn't last, it opened a door for her she never thought she'd try again: Dating.

Work for Lili in Black Sun was usually fairly slow, with the occasional incident breaking up the monotony of each daily routine. But the people were interesting, and many interesting occurrences happened in the Bismarck from laughter to violence. Later, it was announced that the trading company would become an academy (Black Sun Academy), and Lili became the school receptionist. She kept an eye when she could on some of the more naive members and prospective students, including a young woman named [[Mouse Wytchwood]]. Through an old lover, Lili learned of Mouse's mysterious nature and past and vowed to keep it quiet and continue to help watching the girl from afar. Her focus became the school, as well as finding ways to relieve herself of her loneliness. She took her alchemy back up again, as well as continued her parents' legacy and proficiency in botany.

More time passed with very little incident. For a period, Lili was surrounded by an influx of interested parties who wished to start relationships with her. Only one caught her interest in the end, a miqo'te man she met through Kolhi'to named [[Darturu Torlan]]. Charmed and taken in by his good manners, wit, and appearence, he soon became a regular part of her life. And soon, a significant other. Shortly after this her youngest daughter, Sarameda, became ill. Needing constant care and attention, Lili took an extended period of time to be with her daughter and away from the world. Including away from Darturu.

Shortly after Sara finally recovered, Lili heard everyone had relocated to Ul'dah to start up a new company with Kolhi'to as head of the organization. A mercenary group called the Blacktalon Vanguard, and Darturu was his partner. Lili relocated so as to help with the group, as well as be supportive of Dart. While the relationship with Darturu didn't last and they eventually parted ways, she still met many new people and still talks to quite a few even after she left the Vanguard to start her own group, the Free Wing Society. During this time she met a young lalachild named [[Adokenai Kodomo]], a resident tot at the Quicksand that seemed to be cared after by Momodi and the adventurers that inhabited the place. So taken by him, she decided to adopt the boy as her own and the announcement was made at the opening of the Pumpkin Cafe. There, she met two people: [[Rock Shattermountain]] and [[Sarial Hawke]], both of whom took a liking to the woman and her charms. They later joined the Society, along with others that Lili knew from Blacktalon and beyond.

Also during this time, she met a man named [[C'kayah Tia]] who supplied with her alchemical regents that she was having a hard time getting a hold of. The attraction between the two was almost instant, and at the end of the night Lili decided to give him a link to her personal pearl. Not expecting to hear from him for quite some time (if ever), Lili was surprised when he got a hold of her almost immediately afterwards. It set off a chain of interactions that sent them down an unexpectedly passionate path of emotions and intimacy that Lili never seemed able to push aside. Even though at the begining she was wary, he made her feel like she could take a chance. It led her to meeting even more people, like [[Kenthy Pennyfeather]] and [[Miah Polaali]], and eventually led to her and Kayah becoming mates. While their relationship was 'open' and unconventional, she also took in a lover named [[Kaiten Skyborn]] while C'kayah took in his own interests.

The Society continued to thrive, though some of her friendships suffered as a product of her relationship with C'kayah. Her long standing friendship with [[T'shina Vashka]] and [[Tenha'a Rendha]] being the primary ones, as their dislike of C'kayah and vehemence against Lili being with him led to them recently leaving the Society. While this happened, Lili remained firm in her decision to spend her future with the male. Life continued to change, and still does to this day. Most recently she and C'kayah have become engaged, she has offered her and the Society's aid in the Doman refugee matters, and continues raising and caring after Ado.

:-Lili is very kind and affectionate to most people she meets. That doesn't necessarily mean she's flirting with you. 
:-I tend to ignore or shut down individuals who get upset OOC about not being romantically involved with Lili and/or not getting the oppurtunity. She didn't pick you so there's probably a reason. Get over it.

=== General ===

'''Lilithium Altair (Lil-ith-ium Ah-l-tair) '''is a older Hyur midlander who is often seen in and around Ul'dah and various other parts of Eorzea. Her maternal nature and affectionate disposition leaves her well liked by most who come across her. Widowed three years before the Calamity and with her three children all grown and out of the house as of roughly a year ago, Lili finds that she's able to focus on herself and her own happiness for the first time since her teens. It's left her with many doorways of oppurtunity to choose from, some full of light and adventure while others harbor a darker purpose...

Recently, she has become the owner of a staffing company known as the Free Wing Society and adopted a little boy named Adokenai. On top of that, she has opened her heart that led to avenues she never dared dream were possible. She currently has a mate (C'kayah Tia), and a lover (Kaiten Skyborn) who further enrich her life along with the various friends she has made along the way.

'''Note: Lili is able to see the aether of various individuals she meets. They manifest as light and colors, and I will sometimes whisper people OOC to determine what their aether is like so Lili can react or adjust accordingly.'''

=== Appearance ===

[[File:LiliSelf.png|none|LiliSelf.png]]

Standing at 5 fulm and 4 ilm, Lili is used to seeing the world from the shorter side of things. She used to wear her pale blonde hair long and nearly to her elbows, but almost two moons ago she chopped it rather short. Recently, she's grown it out again. Her eyes are very light green with a silvery cast to the color to give it an odd shimmering quality. While her features deceive others of her true age, she bares what marks she has with pride: Some crows feet at the corner of her eyes that show when she laughs, and similar lines at the corner of her lips that only start to show when she is smiling broadly. Having bared three children (two of which were twins), she was left with rather shapely hips and added curves that she had not possessed in her youth. One of the physical features most noticed by some who meet Lili is her rather large bust despite her small size. It usually causes her a myriad of problems, as some of her shorter Miqo'te friends and Lalafell companions sometimes get suffocated when she hugs them. The rest of her is well toned from the muscle and strenght it takes to wield her axe and fist weapons, and sunkissed from her years by the shores of Limsa or the sands of Ul'dah. Around her neck is a long chain with little silver fingerbells attached to it, and on her ring finger looks to be a wedding or engagement ring of some kind.

[[File:LiliandWhisper2.jpg|none|LiliandWhisper2.jpg]]

=== Behavior ===

Having gotten pregnant at fourteen and raising or looking after her children and those of others left Lili with a maternal nature that has been driven down to the core of her very being. She tends to look out for those around her, especially those that she feels a soft spot for, or those around her children's age (teens to early twenties range). Though this maternal drive of hers doesn't make her a pushover in the least, as it is possible to ignite her ire with the right buttons being pushed. Over all, she's calm and even tempered and usually the voice of reason for those around her. Ever one to play devil's advocate.

== Combat ==

=== General ===

Lili hasn't had much of a need to show her skills publically, but in the few times she's sparred with friends she's shown a great aptitude for a martial arts style of combat. Her fists, being her primary weapon, are usually not the thing to worry about. They sometimes serve as a mere distraction for her rather powerful legs to catch someone off guard. When she does happen to use her axe, it's an interesting sight since some of the weaponry are almost as big as she is. Yet she yields them with ease, using all her force with each blow. She fights with a certain level of honor, though if the situation should call for it she won't be afraid to play dirty.

== Tendencies ==

[[File:LiliandAdo3.png]]

Always one for trying and learning new things, Lili spends much of her idle time active in one way or another. If she's not relaxing in the Quicksand or the occasional visit to the Drowning Wench, she'll be home or out and about doing some kind of activity or socializing.

He even calls her 'Mom' regularly, and comes running to her whenever he sees her. Usually when seen together, the little boy is being held by his new mother or playing around some where near by.

''●''Khavan Nightwing: Lili's oldest child and oldest son. At nineteen years of age, nearing twenty, Khavan is engaged to a male elezen and usually bothers Lili for wedding preperation.

●Rahsha Altair: A Sunseeker miqo'te that Lili's parents found when Lili was only five. Abandoned on a supply ship, no one knows her tribal origin and could never relocate birth parents. Rahsha and Lili grew apart after Lili left home, and now the two rarely see one another.

''●''Andromeda and Reiko Altair (deceased): Lili's parents died shortly after the twins were born in a simple but tragic fire. Both were botanists who were unmatched in their knowledge of the land and its bountiful treasures.

=== Other Relationships ===

''●''[[Aedan Mathis]]: On her way to gather herbs in the Sylphlands, she came across a Hyur slumped over his faithful chocobo. Bloodied and unconscious, Lili took him to the nearby Sanctum of the Twelve and managed to save his life. While the two aren't in close contact, she sees him sporadically and keep in the back of her mind his offer to look after her children as a way of thanks for her helping him.

''●''[[Aya Foxheart]]: The Quicksand's favorite barmaid, Lili worked alongside C'kayah to help Aya with some personal problems, and offered the woman multiple safe places to hide away at should she had needed it. Afterwards, she hasn't seen much of her, though that hasn't stopped the affection she began to feel towards the woman.

♥●[[Azeiox Nelles]]: An elezen Lili met one day at the Quicksand who always seems to be looking out for her son and letting him right on his shoulder without batting an eye. Intimidating at first, she later found his more quiet nature to be comforting and enjoys spending time with him when she can. The nature of their relationship to outsiders appears friendly, though if there is anything else going on their certainly don't show it.

♥●[[Chokho Viqqoh]]: A Keeper woman Lili met at the fishfry event the Society put on, she flirted rather heavily with Lili and even poured a cup of water on her to see her wet in her bikkini. They met up later when they found out they were neighbors, and have started a comfortable friendship. Chokho has made her attraction known, and Lili returned the sentiment. Their lives keep them busy and often apart, though they make time to spend with one another when they can.

''♥●''[[C'kayah Tia]]: A Miqo'te who once supplied Lili with alchemical materials she was having a hard time acquiring, he was smitten with her from the start and she rejected his advances over and over again. Instead, teasing him with playful retorts and equally playful skepticism. They ended up being around one another off and on as time went on, and over time Lili came to see that his feelings and gestures were indeed sincere and affectionate by his repeat efforts to prove such. Since asking her to be his mate, and she in turn asking him to marry her, the two have been through great obstacles that have made them stronger then ever. When seen together, Lili couldn't be happier.

''●''[[Darturu Torlan]]: Darturu and Lili were once mated, but his co-creation of the Blacktalon Vanguard made balancing work and a relationship difficult. The two eventually decided to part ways, still caring for one another, but now left to their own devices. As time has passed and seeing less and less of him, her feelings had softened to the point where romance is no longer something she entertains with the Miqo'te. They have not seen one another since she left the Vanguard, and she seems to have no desire to change that.

''●''[[Dheina Tayuun]]: A young Miqo'te she met when coming back to Ul'dah via her previous mate, Darturu. They keep in touch sporadically, and have a pleasent friendship.

''●''[[Kal Numara]]: A Highlander woman who is also a friend of Lili's. Usually teasing her, and constantly referring to her as 'Mama' or 'Mama Lili'. Such teasings are usually met with Lili retaliating (playfully so).

[[Kenthy Pennyfeather|''●''Kenthy Pennyfeather]]: A miqo'te Lili met through her interractions with C'kayah and the Morbolvines, she's grown a light friendship with the woman, as well as quite a bit of respect due to the help that was given to her during her experience in the form of a Moonkeeper. Despite her sassy and slightly abrasive nature, Lili finds her pleasent. During a series of discussions involving Kenthy and C'kayah's desire to add intimacy to their current relationship, Kenthy lashed out at Lili in a way that had her feeling almost hostile towards the woman. Later on, the two women managed to patch things up and Lili gave Kenthy her blessing to be involved with C'kayah. She doesn't see the redhead regular, but should one ask she considers her a friend.

♥●[[Kaiten Skyborn]]: Lili and this hyur were involved for an extended period as lovers and friends. Due to less and less time spent together and Lili's recent engagement to C'kayah, the two have drifted apart. While she still loves the man deeply, she has taken strides to try and move forward and onward. However, she still thinks of him often.

♥●[[Kaohastraal Aeseroix]]:A very large roe man that was introduced to Lili via T'shina at the fish fry event. His Garlean name took her aback at first, but when they started talking he eased her mind and explained some of his story. He's admitted to having an interest in her on many levels, and they've agreed to simply get to know one another. Though it's hard to know what Lili is thinking when they're seen together.

''●''[[Katiti Kati]]: Lili met this Lalafell around the time she met Ado, who served alongside Toff as one of the Lalachild's unofficial guardians. She eventually joined the Society, being hired as Ado's official teacher. Lili trusts her judgement, but worries with how much she stresses over things all the time.

[[Kolhi'to Embhre|''●''Kolhi'to Embhre]]: Creator of the Blacktalon Vanguard and Lili's former employer, Lili has known Kol for quite some time. However, they seem neither friendly nor hostile. Instead only polite when meeting or speaking in passing. More often then not Kol's grumpy attitude tends to irk Lili even if she may not always show it.

''●''[[Leon Maxwell]]: A young boy Lili met through Tenha'a, she's done her best to look out for his well being and educate him on matters he inquires about, such as love. Knowing a few tidbits about his current health and situation, she's been doing some research into what can possibly be done to help him. Between her work in the Society and his involvements in other matters, assisting him hasn't been as large of a priority. Recently, she learned that he found a cure which brought her happiness to know that perhaps now he could live a long and healthy life.

♥●[[Locke Rinannis]]: She had seen this man when he was around one of the free company houses next to Blacktalon, though never spoke to him or approached him. Later, she heard he was looking for work and offered him a job at the Society. He's one of her most quiet employees, and as a result she actively tries to drag him around the others and be social. His polite demeanor and timidity charms her, and she finds him rather attractive though she values him as a friend and workmate moreso then anything.

''●''[[Mouse Wytchwood]]: A miqo'te girl with odd origins and green hair, Lili has always regarded the girl with motherly concern and attention. From watching her from afar or explaining terms and concepts she does not easily grasp or helping with her hair. She knows enough of Mouse's backstory to keep her eye on the girl when she's able to, and to try and guide harm out of her way

''●''[[Rock Shattermountain]]: A Highlander Lili has recently met when helping with the Pumpkin Cafe opening night. He also is a friend of her adopted son, Ado. After a night out together, he confessed to feelings of a more romantic nature, and the two have been slowly getting to know one another from there. He is also the one that gave her a little pet fawn whom she affectionately calls Dot. As their interractions have progressed, as well as his hints and confessions to seeing Lili as a prospective wife, it left her flattered by his intense emotions. While she still cares for him, they have drifted into more of a close friendship.

[[Sarial Hawke|''●''Sarial Hawke]]: A female Highlander that met Lili at the Pumpkin Cafe opening. She gave Lili a thirty thousand gil tip both out of appreciation of her services as a waitress and to help her kickstart things with her adoption of Adokenai. Since then the woman has blatantly admitted her desire for Lili, though after Lili chose C'kayah as her mate, the two haven't spoken much and Sarial has kept her distance. Over time, Lili has had people come to her about some of the less then savory things Sarial has supposedly said about her, though she seems to pay it no mind.

●[[Tendha'a Rendha]]: A male Miqo'te whom Lili met shortly after the creation of the Vanguard. The two quickly became friends and confidants, and he is the mate of T'shina Vashka. Since Lili and C'kayah started seeing one another, neither of the two have spoken much and he never said a word when he officially left the Society with T'shina and a few others.

''●''●[[Toff Vaughn]]: One of Ado's original guardians, Lili went to Toff and Katiti before she formally adopted Ado. While she respects the man, his childish bouts of attitude test the limits of her temper, including with how he has grown the habit lately of flirting with taken women. Whether he seems to know they're taken or not.

''●''●[[Togy Brandmakt]]: A previous lover, the two seperated due to Togy's wanderings and traveling keeping them apart moreso then together. While not on bad terms, his unstable nature and her mixed responses to his off days makes their interractions a hit-or-miss.

●[[T'shina Vashka]]: A young woman Lili regards as a friend, the recent interractions Lili has had with C'kayah has strained their relationship. Afterwards, the two didn't speak for a while and had one rather large argument that Tenha'a even became part that drove Lili away emotionally. Things never fully recovered after that, and when finding out that Lili and C'kayah were still together, she resigned from the Society.

●[[U'zhan Tia]]: A Miqo'te that Lili met due to his associations with T'shina, he asked Lili to go adventuring with him. Shortly afterwards, he stopped speaking with her. Having gotten the impression he was very much like the womanizing 'Nunh' types he claimed to dislike so much, Lili has had very little desire to rekindle a friendship.

== History/Timeline ==

=== 1544-1559 Childhood/adolescence ===

Born an only child, Lili had a comfortable life with her parents living in Ul'dah. Taking frequent trips to the countryside and the desert to look for new herbs and roots and other things that were in demand or that her parents needed to discover. They met a variety of people and went a variety places before Lili even learned how to walk, though their home territory was always Ul'dah and the Thanalans. Around the time Lili was just turning five, her parents decided to relocate to La Noscea and start maping and surveying the lush island terrain. While on the cargo ship to Limsa Lominsa, the Altairs discovered a tiny bundle that was wailing and screaming and covered in bloodied rags. A newborn Miqo'te child, still covered in the blood of labor pains, though with no mother in sight. No one on the ship knew where she came from, and eventually Lili's parents made her part of the family and named her Rahsha.

Time passed easily in La Noscea. Lili treasured little Rahsha as if she was a blood sister. The tail and ears were only a cute little addition Lili liked to play with. Around the time she was eight and Rahsha was barely three, a family moved in nearby from Ala Mhigo with a single child of their own. A dark skinned, blonde haired, red eyed little prankster of a boy named Ghislan Nightwing. He was immidiately taken with Lili, even as a young boy, and showed it in his typical fashion of flipping her skirts, pulling on her head, and throwing sand and mud balls at he face. This usually earned him retaliation of equal brutality by Lili, with assistance from little Rahsha while their parents looked on with affection and amusement.

The years passed without incident. The comings and goings of the outside world seemed far away from Lili. Her life consisted of her family and Ghislan, and it seemed to be all she needed. As Ghislan and Lili got older, they went from children to friends, and before long, they were fawning over one another in the typical girlish and boyish fashions. Shortly after Lili's fourteenth birthday gathering, their love for one another was too much to be contained (in their young eyes at least). Following their coupling, Lili realized she was pregnant, and the two quickly escaped into the night to find the closest Priestess of Menphina to bless a union between them. Their elopement was received with a measure of shock and surprise that was quickly welcomed by all, save for Rahsha. Feeling that her sister abandoned her, the little Miqo'te never quite outgrew such feelings.

And thus began the life of Mrs. Lilithium Nightwing.

=== 1559-1569 Lilithium Amal'thea Nightwing ===

The married life was one Lili slipped into with ease. Shortly after turning fifteen summers, she gave birth to Khavan Amadeus Nightwing, who looked more like his father then anything else. Despite being young, they were hard working with Lili spending the majority of her time as a house wife taking care of their son with the aide of both of their parents. While Rahsha was loving to a degree to Khavan, she was still distant with her sister. It was something that, while Lili mourned for the lack of emotion she got from her, she couldn't focus on too deeply and still provide the needed care for her family.

During the first few years of their marriage, Ghislan continued to grow. Taller and taller and taller, reaching well past the average height for a Highlander. While it certainly got attention in a crowd and delighted Lili as well, it caught the eye of a few mercenary groups who saw great potential. Soon, he was recruited and cycled through a few companies who paid well and the work was mostly geared towards training. It brought in enough profit that Lili and Ghislan built their family home from the ground up. A beautiful, pale stoned cottage melded with shells from the nearby shore.

Throwing a grand celebration with friends to honor the new homestead, everyone (even Lili) drank in good cheer. One man amoungst them, however, took advantage of the situation. A long time friend of the couples' who joined Ghislan as a healer in some of his fights and jobs, his poor health would be the death of him soon and they all knew it. Amore Silverlark was his name, and he was the only living member of his family. Determined to not leave this world without carrying out his family name, he guided a very intoxicated Lili to a back room to take advantage, and succeeded with getting her pregnant. Overcome by guilt, he confessed to Ghislan who nearly killed him on the spot were it not for Lili intervening. Barely able to let it pass, Ghislan agreed to curb his animosity while it was discussed on what to do. A few weeks later, Amore succumbed to his illness and passed away, leaving Lili and Ghislan with two choices: Keep the illegitimate children, or find a way to terminate the pregnancy.

Months later, Deisarameda and Sarameda Silverlark were born. In honor of Amore and Ghislan's more happy history together, they kept the surname and Ghislan raised them as his own. Sadly, they inherited their father's illness and were in poor health as children and even into their now adult life.

Shortly after the girls were born, Lili's parents died abruptly in a house fire. Mere days later, Rahsha disappeared with what little belongings she covered from the fire. To this day, Lili has rarely seen sight of her adopted sister and has heard rumors that she retreated to the Shroud to perhaps find clues to her true family.

The years passed without incident. Ghislan put aside his mercenary life to join the military efforts around La Noscea and even beyond. During one particular assignment he was doing freelance for the Immortal Flames, they were attacked by Garleans in which Ghislan was captured and taken away. There was never a body recovered, and Lili was wracked by grief for a number of years. Even with her children there as support, it slowly became accepted that Ghislan was likely dead and never returning. Her soulmate, the love of her life, the father of her children, was gone. There was no more to be done.

And so, life went on.

=== 1569/0-Present Calamity ===

Lili ended up retaking her maiden name of Altair a few years after Ghislan passed, not feeling right baring the name of her dead husband. The day of the Calamity, Lili and her three children visited the empty grave on a little cliff over looking the sea that was dedicated to Ghislan. All four watched in complete horror as the world around them was torn to bits and land and buildings became decimated. Thankfully, their home remained intact and they suffered no severe losses. Lili focused more on her alchemical talents to help locals and those in the cities while making a little extra money for herself and her family. Within the last two years, her children grew up into beautiful, capable young adults. All three starting to go their own ways to build their new lives. It left Lili in an interesting position: After almost two decades of being married, being widowed, raising children...she now had time to focus on herself. A thrilling but frightening prospect she still has difficulty comprehending to this day.

Lili spent the first few months trying to find hobbies. Interests. Even dabbling in the company of courtesans to appease some of the loneliness seeped into her heart. Money that Ghislan left behind in his passing was enough to sustain her day-to-day life, but she still felt empty. Unfulfilled. Without her soulmate, she began to wonder if she'd eventually die of a broken heart the way some songbirds did when their mates passed. During a trip out by Moraby, Lili came across a Miqo'te man named [[Kolhi'to Embhre]] who passed along a possible business proposition at his free company, Black Sun Trading. Intrigued, Lili followed through on the matter and found employment working for the Silverstars, Matthias and Althena. It gave her a new purpose and new motivation, and during that time she met and had a brief coupling with one of her coworkers named [[Togy Brandmakt]]. While things didn't last, it opened a door for her she never thought she'd try again: Dating.

Work for Lili in Black Sun was usually fairly slow, with the occasional incident breaking up the monotony of each daily routine. But the people were interesting, and many interesting occurrences happened in the Bismarck from laughter to violence. Later, it was announced that the trading company would become an academy (Black Sun Academy), and Lili became the school receptionist. She kept an eye when she could on some of the more naive members and prospective students, including a young woman named [[Mouse Wytchwood]]. Through an old lover, Lili learned of Mouse's mysterious nature and past and vowed to keep it quiet and continue to help watching the girl from afar. Her focus became the school, as well as finding ways to relieve herself of her loneliness. She took her alchemy back up again, as well as continued her parents' legacy and proficiency in botany.

More time passed with very little incident. For a period, Lili was surrounded by an influx of interested parties who wished to start relationships with her. Only one caught her interest in the end, a miqo'te man she met through Kolhi'to named [[Darturu Torlan]]. Charmed and taken in by his good manners, wit, and appearence, he soon became a regular part of her life. And soon, a significant other. Shortly after this her youngest daughter, Sarameda, became ill. Needing constant care and attention, Lili took an extended period of time to be with her daughter and away from the world. Including away from Darturu.

Shortly after Sara finally recovered, Lili heard everyone had relocated to Ul'dah to start up a new company with Kolhi'to as head of the organization. A mercenary group called the Blacktalon Vanguard, and Darturu was his partner. Lili relocated so as to help with the group, as well as be supportive of Dart. While the relationship with Darturu didn't last and they eventually parted ways, she still met many new people and still talks to quite a few even after she left the Vanguard to start her own group, the Free Wing Society. During this time she met a young lalachild named [[Adokenai Kodomo]], a resident tot at the Quicksand that seemed to be cared after by Momodi and the adventurers that inhabited the place. So taken by him, she decided to adopt the boy as her own and the announcement was made at the opening of the Pumpkin Cafe. There, she met two people: [[Rock Shattermountain]] and [[Sarial Hawke]], both of whom took a liking to the woman and her charms. They later joined the Society, along with others that Lili knew from Blacktalon and beyond.

Also during this time, she met a man named [[C'kayah Tia]] who supplied with her alchemical regents that she was having a hard time getting a hold of. The attraction between the two was almost instant, and at the end of the night Lili decided to give him a link to her personal pearl. Not expecting to hear from him for quite some time (if ever), Lili was surprised when he got a hold of her almost immediately afterwards. It set off a chain of interactions that sent them down an unexpectedly passionate path of emotions and intimacy that Lili never seemed able to push aside. Even though at the begining she was wary, he made her feel like she could take a chance. It led her to meeting even more people, like [[Kenthy Pennyfeather]] and [[Miah Polaali]], and eventually led to her and Kayah becoming mates. While their relationship was 'open' and unconventional, she also took in a lover named [[Kaiten Skyborn]] while C'kayah took in his own interests.

The Society continued to thrive, though some of her friendships suffered as a product of her relationship with C'kayah. Her long standing friendship with [[T'shina Vashka]] and [[Tenha'a Rendha]] being the primary ones, as their dislike of C'kayah and vehemence against Lili being with him led to them recently leaving the Society. While this happened, Lili remained firm in her decision to spend her future with the male. Life continued to change, and still does to this day. Most recently she and C'kayah have become engaged, she has offered her and the Society's aid in the Doman refugee matters, and continues raising and caring after Ado.

== <div style="padding:10px 15px; background:#FFC0CB;font-size:18px;color:#000000;">Character</div> ==
[[File:Aya_003.png|300px|right]]
=== <div style="padding:10px 0px 15px 30px; background:#FFE4E1;font-size:14px;color:#000000;font-weight:bold;">General</div> ===
This tall, blonde Hyur woman moves gracefully, displaying bright, energetic blue eyes, and warm, happy smile - everyone's favorite bountifully chested barmaid!

=== <div style="padding:10px 0px 15px 30px;background:#FFE4E1;font-size:14px;font-weight:bold;">Appearance</div> ===

Long blonde locks fall freely over the shoulders of this Hyur woman, bearing a somewhat unkempt waviness that threatens at times to become a curl. Bright blue eyes are the highlight of a warm smile framed by typically rose-red lips. She is short and slender for a Highland Hyur, but by the standards of Midlanders would be considered tall, with a curvaceous figure. Finding herself somewhere between fit and athletic, her body is finely honed for dancing, and is only secondarily adapted to the rigors of combat - especially as she is no longer a sellsword by trade.

Aya is usually seen wearing at least light makeup, and is rarely found without lip gloss and eye makeup. She loves jewelry and sports seven piercings on each ear (four upper, and three lower), usually wearing larger earrings on the lower-most piercing, and then matching studs in the remaining (frequently changed to match her outfit, and sometimes her mood). She usually wears necklaces, bracelets, and several rings, as well as navel jewelry that she prefers to have visible whenever possible.

She prefers outfits chosen for form instead of function, frequently wearing heeled shoes and boots, skirts instead of leggings, and armor that give priority to flattering her figure rather than protecting her. When she was a mercenary her commanders were at times able to get her to wear practical armor when preparing for situations where combat was expected, but it was a struggle to convince her to wear proper uniform at other times.

=== <div style="padding:10px 0px 15px 30px;background:#FFE4E1;font-size:14px;color:#000000;font-weight:bold;">Disposition</div> ===

Aya typically wears her personality on her sleeve. She is outgoing, social, with a clear orientation toward fun and pleasure. She has a significant caring and soft-hearted streak, that sometimes conflicts with her better sense, and often speaks before she thinks(sometimes leading to unexpected shyness). She generally prefers to avoid hard work, has expensive tastes for comfort and baubles, and will almost always take the easiest route to Gil when offered. Nonetheless, she has become significantly more responsible since fleeing Ishgard and encountering the difficulties of the real world shorn from the protective layer of her family, and can usually be counted on if it really matters.

Preferring shopping, relaxing, and most especially partying to hard work, these tendencies will almost always become obvious to even the most ambivalent observer.

[http://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/showthread.php?tid=7871 Some stories from Aya's background]

==== <div style="padding:10px 0px 15px 30px;font-size:14px;color:#000000;font-weight:bold;">Ala Mhigan Refugee</div> ====
Born the youngest of three children into an upper class Ala Mhigan family steeped in a long warrior tradition, Aya was born into what should have been a life of relative luxury. All hope of such fortune was washed away among the flood of refugees fleeing the Kingdom ahead of the Imperial conquest. Living as refugees the family moved from city to city in a vain effort to call in old favors to find permanent settlement. After being turned away from every hope, including an extended stay near Limsa Lominsa, Aya's father finally made the decision he had been so loath to consider in the past: to call upon distant relatives who had settled as sellswords in Ishgard several generations in the past, the black sheep of the once prominent and proper family.

Unaware of their fortune to gain entrance to the city shortly before the gates were sealed to the outside world, their long lost relatives welcomed the family with the grudging acceptance of blood relatives. Unable to leave their past behind, Aya's parents adopted only the minimal necessary trappings of Ishgardian society. Refusing to abandon his pretensions her father quickly became a burden, followed by the eldest son intent upon claiming the trappings of an inheritance that had evaporated before his eyes. Loyal to a fault Aya's mother served her husband's every interest, pressing the children to accept his desires and command as they became ever less realistic. The two younger children grew closer to one another, as both proved more capable of adapting to their new social status.

The younger of Aya's brothers chose to become an apprentice weapon smith, planning to open his own shop and provide support for his parents, and if possible to repay the relatives to whom the entire family owes their survival. Aya meanwhile was drawn toward less productive, but equally rebellious endeavors. Despite their poverty, Aya's parents set her on the path to be schooled as a proper Lady befitting her station. Of the arts and manners she studied as a child, her favorite quickly became dancing. As an adolescent she embraced a social circle that skirted the edges of "acceptable" society, preferring the fun, excitement, attention, and notoriety to be found in the world of taverns, and underground clubs. Finding that she could earn gil as a dancer and entertainer Aya completely abandoned her ties to the social circles her parents still clung to in their vaingloriousness.

==== <div style="padding:10px 0px 15px 30px;font-size:14px;color:#000000;font-weight:bold;">Flight, Gridania, and the Hungry Wolf</div> ====
[[File:Aya_stretch.jpg|left|thumb|Credit: Jack Swift]]
Facing increasing pressure from her parents, and feeling a general alienation toward the accepted culture of Ishgard, Aya made the life-changing decision to escape from the city. Once in the outside world she made her way to Gridania with a purse that rapidly grew bare. She managed to find employment at the Roost as a barmaid, where she was able to rent a room on a long-term basis. With an eye on greater prizes (and a blindness to the risks) she embraced the opportunity to find work as a sellsword with a Free Company she had come to know through work, thus Aya came to the Hungry Wolf.

Although she had mislead the Company on her experience and capability, Aya proved a quick study, albeit it a tentative combatant. Over the course of her several months long employment by the Hungry Wolf, she took part in a small number of actual combat operations, while generally avoiding dangerous assignments. Focused primarily on patrol and sentry work, she finished her time with the Company overseeing patrols that covered the Gridania to Coerthas road, stationed at Fallgourd Float. The work was mild, and she supplemented decreasing pay by entertaining at the local inn. As the company floundered financially, the remaining members were released from their employment.

==== <div style="padding:10px 0px 15px 30px;font-size:14px;color:#000000;font-weight:bold;">Ul'dah: The Quick Sand</div> ====
Floating about without work, Aya returned to Gridania where she lived at the Roost, trying to make up her mind about what to do next, until expelled for failing to pay for her room. Desperate to find work again, and deciding it better to not further pursue her career as a mercenary, she decided to return to her previous employment, that of a barmaid. Deciding it unlikely that the Roost would turn around and offer her work so soon after the messy issue of her eviction, she opted to try a new city. Intimidated by Limsa's pirate culture, Aya opted to instead test the oppressive heat and culture of Ul'dah.

Momodi, the matron of the Quick Sand, the busiest drinking hole in the city of Ul'dah, and a hub of activity adventurous, legitimate, and illicit, saw potential in the young woman (perhaps believing that the tall blonde from the north might bring in business with her exotic looks) and quickly offered her a position as a barmaid. Along with a pittance of pay, she was provided with a small room (in the least desirable part of the building), board at discount, and the opportunity to keep any tips she would earn.

Aya's primary responsibility is tending to patrons sitting at the Quick Sand's tables, but she also sometimes assists customers at the bar itself, and can pour and mix some drinks to make things easier on Momodi. She's also been quick to help with the Quick Sand's menu, adding a variety of mixed fruit drinks (which she has come to consider something of a specialty), a variety of dishes, and nearly tripling the volume of Gridanian Mead sold with her frequent recommendation of the import.

== <div style="padding:10px 15px; background:#FFC0CB;font-size:18px;color:#000000;">Combat</div> ==
<spoiler>
Although she is no longer a sell sword, Aya's training and experience with the Hungry Wolf remains a crucial aspect of who she is. Regardless of her desire to avoid any violent situation, she remains rather better prepared for it than she would admit.

Aya's formal training in military skills has been as a Lancer. Accepting early lessons from the Wood Wailers, and later trained by the Hungry Wolf, she is naturally well-suited to the weapon. Physically fit and athletic she is able to utilize the leverage-advantage of the weapon to a great extent, while maintaining distance from her opponent. Although tentative to enter combat, once engaged she fights with a raw tenacity and viciousness that the Hungry Wolf seek to instill in all of their fighters. She would rather avoid danger if at all possible, but if forced she will kill or be killed. Quick and graceful she relies on rapid and precise movements en lieu of brute force, utilizing surprise and distraction to create opportunities to exploit with the goal of inflicting debilitating injuries. To utilize her impressive leg strength she makes frequent use of kicking and jumping attacks, often in conjunction with the lance to create difficult to defend sequences of strikes. Most experienced soldiers would still consider her an amateur, but one still capable of being a sometimes surprising threat in hand-to-hand combat.

She is familiar with archery, which was one of her childhood hobbies, one which she has rediscovered in the Shroud which prizes skill with the bow and arrow, and offers much to teach the interested amateur.

She has been trained in standard Hungry Wolf military tactics which included basic forestry, and long-range small-group coordination. Stealth, ambush, and surprise-attack training has formed a major portion of her education in tactics. Her recent promotion has made her technically responsible for small squad command within the Company, she has never commanded units in the field and is likely unprepared.</spoiler>

=== General ===

'''Lilithium Altair (Lil-ith-ium Ah-l-tair) '''is a older Hyur midlander who is often seen in and around Ul'dah and various other parts of Eorzea. Her maternal nature and affectionate disposition leaves her well liked by most who come across her. Widowed three years before the Calamity and with her three children all grown and out of the house as of roughly a year ago, Lili finds that she's able to focus on herself and her own happiness for the first time since her teens. It's left her with many doorways of oppurtunity to choose from, some full of light and adventure while others harbor a darker purpose...

Recently, she has become the owner of a staffing company known as the Free Wing Society and adopted a little boy named Adokenai. On top of that, she has opened her heart that led to avenues she never dared dream were possible. She currently has a mate (C'kayah Tia), and a lover (Kaiten Skyborn) who further enrich her life along with the various friends she has made along the way.

'''Note: Lili is able to see the aether of various individuals she meets. They manifest as light and colors, and I will sometimes whisper people OOC to determine what their aether is like so Lili can react or adjust accordingly.'''

=== Appearance ===

[[File:LiliSelf.png|none|LiliSelf.png]]

Standing at 5 fulm and 4 ilm, Lili is used to seeing the world from the shorter side of things. She used to wear her pale blonde hair long and nearly to her elbows, but almost two moons ago she chopped it rather short. Recently, she's grown it out again. Her eyes are very light green with a silvery cast to the color to give it an odd shimmering quality. While her features deceive others of her true age, she bares what marks she has with pride: Some crows feet at the corner of her eyes that show when she laughs, and similar lines at the corner of her lips that only start to show when she is smiling broadly. Having bared three children (two of which were twins), she was left with rather shapely hips and added curves that she had not possessed in her youth. One of the physical features most noticed by some who meet Lili is her rather large bust despite her small size. It usually causes her a myriad of problems, as some of her shorter Miqo'te friends and Lalafell companions sometimes get suffocated when she hugs them. The rest of her is well toned from the muscle and strenght it takes to wield her axe and fist weapons, and sunkissed from her years by the shores of Limsa or the sands of Ul'dah. Around her neck is a long chain with little silver fingerbells attached to it, and on her ring finger looks to be a wedding or engagement ring of some kind.

[[File:LiliandWhisper2.jpg|none|LiliandWhisper2.jpg]]

=== Behavior ===

Having gotten pregnant at fourteen and raising or looking after her children and those of others left Lili with a maternal nature that has been driven down to the core of her very being. She tends to look out for those around her, especially those that she feels a soft spot for, or those around her children's age (teens to early twenties range). Though this maternal drive of hers doesn't make her a pushover in the least, as it is possible to ignite her ire with the right buttons being pushed. Over all, she's calm and even tempered and usually the voice of reason for those around her. Ever one to play devil's advocate.

[[File:LiliandKaitenandAdo.jpg]]

== Combat ==

=== General ===

Lili hasn't had much of a need to show her skills publically, but in the few times she's sparred with friends she's shown a great aptitude for a martial arts style of combat. Her fists, being her primary weapon, are usually not the thing to worry about. They sometimes serve as a mere distraction for her rather powerful legs to catch someone off guard. When she does happen to use her axe, it's an interesting sight since some of the weaponry are almost as big as she is. Yet she yields them with ease, using all her force with each blow. She fights with a certain level of honor, though if the situation should call for it she won't be afraid to play dirty.

== Tendencies ==

[[File:LiliandAdo3.png]]

Always one for trying and learning new things, Lili spends much of her idle time active in one way or another. If she's not relaxing in the Quicksand or the occasional visit to the Drowning Wench, she'll be home or out and about doing some kind of activity or socializing.

=== Family ===

●Ghislan Nightwing (deceased): Lili's late husband who went MIA during an assignment against the Garleans. After no body being found over the last near decade he's been gone, everyone has safely assumed he is dead and Lili no longer mourns her first and only true love. He was also of Ala Mhigan descent and large for a Highlander (7 fulms).

''●''[[Adokenai Kodomo]]: A young Lalachild who Lili met at the Quicksand one day. Since meeting, Lili had adopted the little boy as her own. He even calls her 'Mom' regularly, and comes running to her whenever he sees her. Usually when seen together, the little boy is being held by his new mother or playing around some where near by.

''●''Khavan Nightwing: Lili's oldest child and oldest son. At nineteen years of age, nearing twenty, Khavan is engaged to a male elezen and usually bothers Lili for wedding preperation.

''●''Sarameda Silverlark: Youngest twin daughter of Lilithium Altair and Amore Silverlark.

''●''Deisarameda Silverlark: Oldest twin daughter of Lilithium Altair and Amore Silverlark.

●Rahsha Altair: A Sunseeker miqo'te that Lili's parents found when Lili was only five. Abandoned on a supply ship, no one knows her tribal origin and could never relocate birth parents. Rahsha and Lili grew apart after Lili left home, and now the two rarely see one another.

''●''Andromeda and Reiko Altair (deceased): Lili's parents died shortly after the twins were born in a simple but tragic fire. Both were botanists who were unmatched in their knowledge of the land and its bountiful treasures.

=== Other Relationships ===

''●''[[Aedan Mathis]]: On her way to gather herbs in the Sylphlands, she came across a Hyur slumped over his faithful chocobo. Bloodied and unconscious, Lili took him to the nearby Sanctum of the Twelve and managed to save his life. While the two aren't in close contact, she sees him sporadically and keep in the back of her mind his offer to look after her children as a way of thanks for her helping him.

''●''[[Aya Foxheart]]: The Quicksand's favorite barmaid, Lili worked alongside C'kayah to help Aya with some personal problems, and offered the woman multiple safe places to hide away at should she had needed it. Afterwards, she hasn't seen much of her, though that hasn't stopped the affection she began to feel towards the woman.

''●''[[Chokho Viqqoh]]: A Keeper woman Lili met at the fishfry event the Society put on, she flirted rather heavily with Lili and even poured a cup of water on her to see her wet in her bikkini. They met up later when they found out they were neighbors, and have started a comfortable friendship. Chokho has made her attraction known, and while Lili returns some of that, she sees the woman as a friend and possible confidant.

''♥●''[[C'kayah Tia]]: A Miqo'te who once supplied Lili with alchemical materials she was having a hard time acquiring, he was smitten with her from the start and she rejected his advances over and over again. Instead, teasing him with playful retorts and equally playful skepticism. They ended up being around one another off and on as time went on, and over time Lili came to see that his feelings and gestures were indeed sincere and affectionate by his repeat efforts to prove such. Since asking her to be his mate, and she in turn asking him to marry her, the two have been through great obstacles that have made them stronger then ever. When seen together, Lili couldn't be happier.

''●''[[Darturu Torlan]]: Darturu and Lili were once mated, but his co-creation of the Blacktalon Vanguard made balancing work and a relationship difficult. The two eventually decided to part ways, still caring for one another, but now left to their own devices. As time has passed and seeing less and less of him, her feelings had softened to the point where romance is no longer something she entertains with the Miqo'te. They have not seen one another since she left the Vanguard, and she seems to have no desire to change that.

''●''[[Dheina Tayuun]]: A young Miqo'te she met when coming back to Ul'dah via her previous mate, Darturu. They keep in touch sporadically, and have a pleasent friendship.

''●''[[Kal Numara]]: A Highlander woman who is also a friend of Lili's. Usually teasing her, and constantly referring to her as 'Mama' or 'Mama Lili'. Such teasings are usually met with Lili retaliating (playfully so).

[[Kenthy Pennyfeather|''●''Kenthy Pennyfeather]]: A miqo'te Lili met through her interractions with C'kayah and the Morbolvines, she's grown a light friendship with the woman, as well as quite a bit of respect due to the help that was given to her during her experience in the form of a Moonkeeper. Despite her sassy and slightly abrasive nature, Lili finds her pleasent. During a series of discussions involving Kenthy and C'kayah's desire to add intimacy to their current relationship, Kenthy lashed out at Lili in a way that had her feeling almost hostile towards the woman. Later on, the two women managed to patch things up and Lili gave Kenthy her blessing to be involved with C'kayah. She doesn't see the redhead regular, but should one ask she considers her a friend.

''♥●●''●[[Kaiten Skyborn]]: Lili and this hyur were involved for an extended period as lovers and friends. Due to less and less time spent together and Lili's recent engagement to C'kayah, the two have drifted apart. While she still loves the man deeply, she has taken strides to try and move forward and onward. However, she still thinks of him often.

♥●[[Kaohastraal Aeseroix]]:A very large roe man that was introduced to Lili via T'shina at the fish fry event. His Garlean name took her aback at first, but when they started talking he eased her mind and explained some of his story. He's admitted to having an interest in her on many levels, and they've agreed to simply get to know one another. Though it's hard to know what Lili is thinking when they're seen together.

''●''[[Katiti Kati]]: Lili met this Lalafell around the time she met Ado, who served alongside Toff as one of the Lalachild's unofficial guardians. She eventually joined the Society, being hired as Ado's official teacher. Lili trusts her judgement, but worries with how much she stresses over things all the time.

[[Kolhi'to Embhre|''●''Kolhi'to Embhre]]: Creator of the Blacktalon Vanguard and Lili's former employer, Lili has known Kol for quite some time. However, they seem neither friendly nor hostile. Instead only polite when meeting or speaking in passing. More often then not Kol's grumpy attitude tends to irk Lili even if she may not always show it.

''●''[[Leon Maxwell]]: A young boy Lili met through Tenha'a, she's done her best to look out for his well being and educate him on matters he inquires about, such as love. Knowing a few tidbits about his current health and situation, she's been doing some research into what can possibly be done to help him. Between her work in the Society and his involvements in other matters, assisting him hasn't been as large of a priority. Recently, she learned that he found a cure which brought her happiness to know that perhaps now he could live a long and healthy life.

♥●[[Locke Rinannis]]: She had seen this man when he was around one of the free company houses next to Blacktalon, though never spoke to him or approached him. Later, she heard he was looking for work and offered him a job at the Society. He's one of her most quiet employees, and as a result she actively tries to drag him around the others and be social. His polite demeanor and timidity charms her, and she finds him rather attractive though she values him as a friend and workmate moreso then anything.

''●''[[Mouse Wytchwood]]: A miqo'te girl with odd origins and green hair, Lili has always regarded the girl with motherly concern and attention. From watching her from afar or explaining terms and concepts she does not easily grasp or helping with her hair. She knows enough of Mouse's backstory to keep her eye on the girl when she's able to, and to try and guide harm out of her way

''●''[[Rock Shattermountain]]: A Highlander Lili has recently met when helping with the Pumpkin Cafe opening night. He also is a friend of her adopted son, Ado. After a night out together, he confessed to feelings of a more romantic nature, and the two have been slowly getting to know one another from there. He is also the one that gave her a little pet fawn whom she affectionately calls Dot. As their interractions have progressed, as well as his hints and confessions to seeing Lili as a prospective wife, it left her flattered by his intense emotions. While she still cares for him, they have drifted into more of a close friendship.

[[Sarial Hawke|''●''Sarial Hawke]]: A female Highlander that met Lili at the Pumpkin Cafe opening. She gave Lili a thirty thousand gil tip both out of appreciation of her services as a waitress and to help her kickstart things with her adoption of Adokenai. Since then the woman has blatantly admitted her desire for Lili, though after Lili chose C'kayah as her mate, the two haven't spoken much and Sarial has kept her distance. Over time, Lili has had people come to her about some of the less then savory things Sarial has supposedly said about her, though she seems to pay it no mind.

●[[Tendha'a Rendha]]: A male Miqo'te whom Lili met shortly after the creation of the Vanguard. The two quickly became friends and confidants, and he is the mate of T'shina Vashka. Since Lili and C'kayah started seeing one another, neither of the two have spoken much and he never said a word when he officially left the Society with T'shina and a few others.

''●''●[[Toff Vaughn]]: One of Ado's original guardians, Lili went to Toff and Katiti before she formally adopted Ado. While she respects the man, his childish bouts of attitude test the limits of her temper, including with how he has grown the habit lately of flirting with taken women. Whether he seems to know they're taken or not.

''●''●[[Togy Brandmakt]]: A previous lover, the two seperated due to Togy's wanderings and traveling keeping them apart moreso then together. While not on bad terms, his unstable nature and her mixed responses to his off days makes their interractions a hit-or-miss.

●[[T'shina Vashka]]: A young woman Lili regards as a friend, the recent interractions Lili has had with C'kayah has strained their relationship. Afterwards, the two didn't speak for a while and had one rather large argument that Tenha'a even became part that drove Lili away emotionally. Things never fully recovered after that, and when finding out that Lili and C'kayah were still together, she resigned from the Society.

●[[U'zhan Tia]]: A Miqo'te that Lili met due to his associations with T'shina, he asked Lili to go adventuring with him. Shortly afterwards, he stopped speaking with her. Having gotten the impression he was very much like the womanizing 'Nunh' types he claimed to dislike so much, Lili has had very little desire to rekindle a friendship.

== History/Timeline ==

=== 1544-1559 Childhood/adolescence ===

Born an only child, Lili had a comfortable life with her parents living in Ul'dah. Taking frequent trips to the countryside and the desert to look for new herbs and roots and other things that were in demand or that her parents needed to discover. They met a variety of people and went a variety places before Lili even learned how to walk, though their home territory was always Ul'dah and the Thanalans. Around the time Lili was just turning five, her parents decided to relocate to La Noscea and start maping and surveying the lush island terrain. While on the cargo ship to Limsa Lominsa, the Altairs discovered a tiny bundle that was wailing and screaming and covered in bloodied rags. A newborn Miqo'te child, still covered in the blood of labor pains, though with no mother in sight. No one on the ship knew where she came from, and eventually Lili's parents made her part of the family and named her Rahsha.

Time passed easily in La Noscea. Lili treasured little Rahsha as if she was a blood sister. The tail and ears were only a cute little addition Lili liked to play with. Around the time she was eight and Rahsha was barely three, a family moved in nearby from Ala Mhigo with a single child of their own. A dark skinned, blonde haired, red eyed little prankster of a boy named Ghislan Nightwing. He was immidiately taken with Lili, even as a young boy, and showed it in his typical fashion of flipping her skirts, pulling on her head, and throwing sand and mud balls at he face. This usually earned him retaliation of equal brutality by Lili, with assistance from little Rahsha while their parents looked on with affection and amusement.

The years passed without incident. The comings and goings of the outside world seemed far away from Lili. Her life consisted of her family and Ghislan, and it seemed to be all she needed. As Ghislan and Lili got older, they went from children to friends, and before long, they were fawning over one another in the typical girlish and boyish fashions. Shortly after Lili's fourteenth birthday gathering, their love for one another was too much to be contained (in their young eyes at least). Following their coupling, Lili realized she was pregnant, and the two quickly escaped into the night to find the closest Priestess of Menphina to bless a union between them. Their elopement was received with a measure of shock and surprise that was quickly welcomed by all, save for Rahsha. Feeling that her sister abandoned her, the little Miqo'te never quite outgrew such feelings.

And thus began the life of Mrs. Lilithium Nightwing.

=== 1559-1569 Lilithium Amal'thea Nightwing ===

The married life was one Lili slipped into with ease. Shortly after turning fifteen summers, she gave birth to Khavan Amadeus Nightwing, who looked more like his father then anything else. Despite being young, they were hard working with Lili spending the majority of her time as a house wife taking care of their son with the aide of both of their parents. While Rahsha was loving to a degree to Khavan, she was still distant with her sister. It was something that, while Lili mourned for the lack of emotion she got from her, she couldn't focus on too deeply and still provide the needed care for her family.

During the first few years of their marriage, Ghislan continued to grow. Taller and taller and taller, reaching well past the average height for a Highlander. While it certainly got attention in a crowd and delighted Lili as well, it caught the eye of a few mercenary groups who saw great potential. Soon, he was recruited and cycled through a few companies who paid well and the work was mostly geared towards training. It brought in enough profit that Lili and Ghislan built their family home from the ground up. A beautiful, pale stoned cottage melded with shells from the nearby shore.

Throwing a grand celebration with friends to honor the new homestead, everyone (even Lili) drank in good cheer. One man amoungst them, however, took advantage of the situation. A long time friend of the couples' who joined Ghislan as a healer in some of his fights and jobs, his poor health would be the death of him soon and they all knew it. Amore Silverlark was his name, and he was the only living member of his family. Determined to not leave this world without carrying out his family name, he guided a very intoxicated Lili to a back room to take advantage, and succeeded with getting her pregnant. Overcome by guilt, he confessed to Ghislan who nearly killed him on the spot were it not for Lili intervening. Barely able to let it pass, Ghislan agreed to curb his animosity while it was discussed on what to do. A few weeks later, Amore succumbed to his illness and passed away, leaving Lili and Ghislan with two choices: Keep the illegitimate children, or find a way to terminate the pregnancy.

Months later, Deisarameda and Sarameda Silverlark were born. In honor of Amore and Ghislan's more happy history together, they kept the surname and Ghislan raised them as his own. Sadly, they inherited their father's illness and were in poor health as children and even into their now adult life.

Shortly after the girls were born, Lili's parents died abruptly in a house fire. Mere days later, Rahsha disappeared with what little belongings she covered from the fire. To this day, Lili has rarely seen sight of her adopted sister and has heard rumors that she retreated to the Shroud to perhaps find clues to her true family.

The years passed without incident. Ghislan put aside his mercenary life to join the military efforts around La Noscea and even beyond. During one particular assignment he was doing freelance for the Immortal Flames, they were attacked by Garleans in which Ghislan was captured and taken away. There was never a body recovered, and Lili was wracked by grief for a number of years. Even with her children there as support, it slowly became accepted that Ghislan was likely dead and never returning. Her soulmate, the love of her life, the father of her children, was gone. There was no more to be done.

And so, life went on.

=== 1569/0-Present Calamity ===

Lili ended up retaking her maiden name of Altair a few years after Ghislan passed, not feeling right baring the name of her dead husband. The day of the Calamity, Lili and her three children visited the empty grave on a little cliff over looking the sea that was dedicated to Ghislan. All four watched in complete horror as the world around them was torn to bits and land and buildings became decimated. Thankfully, their home remained intact and they suffered no severe losses. Lili focused more on her alchemical talents to help locals and those in the cities while making a little extra money for herself and her family. Within the last two years, her children grew up into beautiful, capable young adults. All three starting to go their own ways to build their new lives. It left Lili in an interesting position: After almost two decades of being married, being widowed, raising children...she now had time to focus on herself. A thrilling but frightening prospect she still has difficulty comprehending to this day.

Lili spent the first few months trying to find hobbies. Interests. Even dabbling in the company of courtesans to appease some of the loneliness seeped into her heart. Money that Ghislan left behind in his passing was enough to sustain her day-to-day life, but she still felt empty. Unfulfilled. Without her soulmate, she began to wonder if she'd eventually die of a broken heart the way some songbirds did when their mates passed. During a trip out by Moraby, Lili came across a Miqo'te man named [[Kolhi'to Embhre]] who passed along a possible business proposition at his free company, Black Sun Trading. Intrigued, Lili followed through on the matter and found employment working for the Silverstars, Matthias and Althena. It gave her a new purpose and new motivation, and during that time she met and had a brief coupling with one of her coworkers named [[Togy Brandmakt]]. While things didn't last, it opened a door for her she never thought she'd try again: Dating.

Work for Lili in Black Sun was usually fairly slow, with the occasional incident breaking up the monotony of each daily routine. But the people were interesting, and many interesting occurrences happened in the Bismarck from laughter to violence. Later, it was announced that the trading company would become an academy (Black Sun Academy), and Lili became the school receptionist. She kept an eye when she could on some of the more naive members and prospective students, including a young woman named [[Mouse Wytchwood]]. Through an old lover, Lili learned of Mouse's mysterious nature and past and vowed to keep it quiet and continue to help watching the girl from afar. Her focus became the school, as well as finding ways to relieve herself of her loneliness. She took her alchemy back up again, as well as continued her parents' legacy and proficiency in botany.

More time passed with very little incident. For a period, Lili was surrounded by an influx of interested parties who wished to start relationships with her. Only one caught her interest in the end, a miqo'te man she met through Kolhi'to named [[Darturu Torlan]]. Charmed and taken in by his good manners, wit, and appearence, he soon became a regular part of her life. And soon, a significant other. Shortly after this her youngest daughter, Sarameda, became ill. Needing constant care and attention, Lili took an extended period of time to be with her daughter and away from the world. Including away from Darturu.

Shortly after Sara finally recovered, Lili heard everyone had relocated to Ul'dah to start up a new company with Kolhi'to as head of the organization. A mercenary group called the Blacktalon Vanguard, and Darturu was his partner. Lili relocated so as to help with the group, as well as be supportive of Dart. While the relationship with Darturu didn't last and they eventually parted ways, she still met many new people and still talks to quite a few even after she left the Vanguard to start her own group, the Free Wing Society. During this time she met a young lalachild named [[Adokenai Kodomo]], a resident tot at the Quicksand that seemed to be cared after by Momodi and the adventurers that inhabited the place. So taken by him, she decided to adopt the boy as her own and the announcement was made at the opening of the Pumpkin Cafe. There, she met two people: [[Rock Shattermountain]] and [[Sarial Hawke]], both of whom took a liking to the woman and her charms. They later joined the Society, along with others that Lili knew from Blacktalon and beyond.

Also during this time, she met a man named [[C'kayah Tia]] who supplied with her alchemical regents that she was having a hard time getting a hold of. The attraction between the two was almost instant, and at the end of the night Lili decided to give him a link to her personal pearl. Not expecting to hear from him for quite some time (if ever), Lili was surprised when he got a hold of her almost immediately afterwards. It set off a chain of interactions that sent them down an unexpectedly passionate path of emotions and intimacy that Lili never seemed able to push aside. Even though at the begining she was wary, he made her feel like she could take a chance. It led her to meeting even more people, like [[Kenthy Pennyfeather]] and [[Miah Polaali]], and eventually led to her and Kayah becoming mates. While their relationship was 'open' and unconventional, she also took in a lover named [[Kaiten Skyborn]] while C'kayah took in his own interests.

The Society continued to thrive, though some of her friendships suffered as a product of her relationship with C'kayah. Her long standing friendship with [[T'shina Vashka]] and [[Tenha'a Rendha]] being the primary ones, as their dislike of C'kayah and vehemence against Lili being with him led to them recently leaving the Society. While this happened, Lili remained firm in her decision to spend her future with the male. Life continued to change, and still does to this day. Most recently she and C'kayah have become engaged, she has offered her and the Society's aid in the Doman refugee matters, and continues raising and caring after Ado.

}}''A naive girl. A stubborn businesswoman. A mystery.''

Roswyn is an orphan, born in the Black Shroud to her mother that died not long after her birth. Her father is a mystery figure and her beginnings were spent fighting, clawing and stealing for survival before a tragic, yet arguably fortunate, twist of fate led her to becoming a more well-to-do daughter of Ul'dah.

Roswyn's current and true occupation remains shrouded in mystery with only small clues trickling out here and there. A select few know the truth but they will never tell. Who is she? What are her goals? And why won't she discuss them?

'''★'''Information here may seem limited. This is intentional. Roswyn does not share details about her life or history with people freely. Certain information and personal relationship information is ambiguous because it is not publicly discussed. Anything listed here is strictly OOC knowledge unless Roswyn has discussed it with your character. 

 

===<div style="padding-left:5px;padding-top:4px;height:30px;background:#560319; font-size:30px; color:#FFFFFF">Appearance</div>===

Roswyn is a light pink colored Miqo'te female with her hair ending in silver streaks and sliver streaks running through her tail. She stands at minimum height for a Miqo'te female. She is extremely small in stature but her body is lithe and dense, hiding an unseen prowess for combat. Her body is rather curvy where it counts and she has been known to use this as a manipulation tactic. When in the presence of company she is comfortable with, her ears and eyes become rather expressive. Her tail is downy and fluffy, slightly uncharacteristic for a Miqo'te.

Roswyn has a knack for immediately coming across as non-threatening and while this used to annoy her, she has long since gotten used to it. Her fragile appearance and demure coloration often give people approaching her a inaccurate portrait of her mind and physical capabilities. Roswyn will often let people carry on with this first impression, preferring to surprise them later if the situation should ever call for it.

===<div style="padding-left:5px;padding-top:7px;height:30px;background:#560319; font-size:30px; color:#FFFFFF">Behavior and Personality</div> ===

Roswyn has been told that she comes across as a well spoken, if not sarcastic, exquisite example of a young woman. However she does have a tendency to spoil this with her blunt manner of speaking. She will speak her mind and while she will do so eloquently she will not withhold her opinion either. She will often word criticism in such a way where one has to think about it first before replying as they may be unsure if she just insulted them to their face. This is a facet of her personality that has grown over the past few months and something she has no plans on curving.

She can often come across as distant and almost calculating if one is paying attention. She will rarely initiate conversation with a stranger, unless they specifically interest her in some way. However, in the presence of friendly company she tends to open up, telling jokes and poking fun. She is not above taking a verbal jab or two as long as it is genuinely funny and improves the conversation.

Roswyn used to be much more of a flirt than she is these days. She used to love nothing more than finding an attractive, well spoken gentleman and conversing the night away, seeing who could get the upper hand before the wine or ale took hold. However, this practice now seems to bore her. She is seen much less frequently in the Quicksand and Drowning Wench now, though has become a regular at The Laughing Lady.

She is a Keeper of the Moon and while she knows little of her specific bloodline, she has recently made efforts to delve into her past. This research was mostly prompted by her rare and occasional tendency to fall into a more feral state. Only a few have encountered this version of herself and she intends to keep it that way. Though she wonders what lies in her blood that can cause her to have such animalistic tendencies despite her upbringing.

It's apparent that is well educated, bearing an analytical mind, though she can come off surprisingly naive in other arenas. In matters of the heart, Roswyn lacks much needed insight. She makes every attempt she can to downplay this fact about herself, using biting sarcasm and disinterest to deflect interest shown in her. The cause for her seemingly random lack of knowledge in this area is unknown except to a scarce few.

Above all, Roswyn is governed by her own unique sense of justice.

===<div style="padding-left:5px;padding-top:7px;height:26px;background:#560319; font-size:30px; color:#FFFFFF">Combat</div>===

Roswyn has a temper and will not hesitate to fight if provoked. It's a trait that, despite her efforts to control always manages to flare up. She retains her physical combat prowess from her days as a bandit and thief, being extremely proficient with the dagger and bow but much less so with the sword due to her small stature. She has an aptitude for stealthiness, bearing the capability to remain still and hidden for almost hours at a time. This skill went largely unused for years though she has been practicing it's use once again for unknown reasons.

After her adoption, Roswyn went through intensive training as an Arcanist. She managed to develop these skills decently and while she enjoys reading about magic and arcanum, she could never quite develop a taste for this particular art, save for acid and poison manipulation. She does posses an aptitude for magic however and has recently traded in her grimore for a staff. Her skill in conjury continues to improve, but it's developing strangely. She possesses an odd ability to control her healing, leaving some areas of wounds closed while others heal and manipulating the look and severity of injuries. She's recognized her odd ability to control her aether this way and is pondering what she can make of it.

Her greatest combat strength, however, lies in numbers. In recent months, and especially after her kidnapping incident, Roswyn has taken great care to surround herself with people she trusts. She may appear alone but it should be understood that she is never truly alone. She does not often make the decision to engage in combat but when she does then all manner of tools at her disposal will be on the table. She will do what it takes to win, even if it means using manipulation, more deceitful tactics or switching and combining her fighting styles.

Roswyn will very '''''very''''' rarely make the decision to make an aggressive, violent move against another but when it does happen she prefers to operate meticulously, leaving no loopholes for error or failure. Once that point has been reached, she will aim to kill. No questions asked.

===<div style="padding-left:5px;padding-top:8px;height:30px;background:#560319; font-size:30px; color:#FFFFFF">Occupation, Skills, and Pastimes</div>===
Roswyn's true occupation is unknown. If asked about what she does or how she spends her time you will be met with sarcasm or an evasive reply. Whatever she does keeps her busy though. She will often remark to friends that she is on business at the time but will never delve into details. Most recently, she has taken on a business partner but she has only introduced them as such to very few.

=== Family ===

Roswyn was born in the Black Shroud, right on the forest floor. Her mother died shortly after her birth and her birth father is unknown. She does however, currently have a man she refers to as her father though if asked about him she will evade the topic unless the person asking has attained a certain level of her trust through one means or another.

 '''Father:''' Vernon Valhuri – This man's name is spoken rarely and only to those in a very specific circle. He is a vastly secretive man, his occupation, face, and even race is a question mark for most people and the one things he is known for is his operations in the Ul'dan underground. If you know his name then you may know a thing or two about Roswyn as well.

((OOC Note: I am very open to some RP concerning Roswyn's family ties. Contact me OOCly in game if you feel this could be a tie in for your character :D))

<tr>

<td style="width:50%;">●'''[[Orpheus Arkouda]]''': Orpheus, a tall and well-built mercenary, is often seen alongside Roswyn these days and especially after her kidnapping incident. She had met him before then, but she had rebuked his aggressive attempts at getting to know her better, viewing him as just another Seeker male. Business partner, bodyguard, or perhaps a mix of the two. His real relation to her is unknown, barring one person, but what is clear is that the two seem rarely apart during business or pleasure. When viewed from a distance, their relationship appears amiable, with lots of laughing and joking to be had. When closely observed there also seems to be non-verbal communication as well, subtle looks and slants of the eyes. Sometimes assumed for family due to their similar coloration, Roswyn has been told that an air of loyalty permeates them and she simply smiles. </td>

<td style="width:50%;">●'''[[C'kayah Tia]]''' : Despite her efforts to reply to his letters and his request, she was only left with a wastebasket of her crumpled penmanship. Nothing seem to fit. Time has drug on and Roswyn has decided that perhaps things are for the better the way they are. He's heard utterly no word from her since they parted and Roswyn seems to be carrying on with herself. The words she wrote will likely remain a mystery. </td>
</tr>

<tr>

<td style="width:50%";>●'''[[Skratti Bowens]]''' : - A tip from Orpheus led Roswyn to Skratti and she was surprised to find the girl sleeping under her company's roof. No sooner did Roswyn extend the girl an opportunity did she begin to deliver. Skratti hides a few secrets and Roswyn intends to help the girl develop her already innate talents. She finds herself immensely impressed with Skratti's quick wit and judgement calls despite her age. </td>

<td style="width:50%";>●'''[[Argust Clow]]''' : - A capable Thaumaturge that Roswyn has come to know. She wasn't sure if she could take him or his abilities seriously until she actually saw him work. They'd already spoken about possible business deals between the two of them and after he'd impressed her she was sure to act on this. The man is a bit of an enigma, shying away from most people and crowds, yet he tends to seek her out. She isn't exactly sure what to make of this and she does her best to ignore her own desire to seek him out as well. </td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td style="width:50%";>●'''[[Lyuri Felnica]]''' : - Leader of the Free Company Eclipsis and close acquaintance, Roswyn was wondering how long she could go continuing on with her operations at the Golden Bazaar before finally attracting her attention. The day finally came and Roswyn was pleased to discover that there was more to Lyuri, and a few others, than meets the eye. As events have passed, Lyuri and Roswyn have grown closer and Roswyn feels more comfortable being herself around her. That is, letting Lyuri know exactly how rigid Roswyn's sense of justice can be. </td>

<td style="width:50%";>●'''[[Ennara Calian]]''' : - Roswyn won't admit it, but she secretly admires Ennara's inner strength. She's bold to a fault and apologizes for nothing. Two traits she most certainly admires. The woman has also been though a kind of hardship Roswyn, frankly, cannot fathom. She does her best to walk cautiously around the subject and treat the woman with respect. </td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td style="width:50%";>●'''[[Siha Xinkei]]''' : - Roswyn genuinely enjoys talking to Siha. Siha once told Roswyn that she had a gift for getting people to talk and while she didn't admit it at the time she feels Siha has the same ability. Everytime she manages to run into the girl, however, she always seems to be in some sort of odd predicamant. Roswyn is always quick to lend a hand, having taken a liking to the girl, but Siha's hesitance to speak resulted in some recent misunderstandings. </td>

<td style="width:50%";>●'''[[Aldyet Lannis]]''' : - This woman recently joined Roswyn's company and she immedinately noticed her quiet nature. She then noticed she'd mysteriously turned into a Miqo. Roswyn had a very long discussion with her about the circumstances that led to her change and the two found out they had a lot more in common than they initially realized. Roswyn then extended her a hand in friendship. To quote what she said to her: "I'm tired of having enemies." to which Aldyet agreed. Roswyn is hoping Aldyet is trustworthy and she's watching her closely. </td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td style="width:50%";>●'''[[Alexei Volkov]]''' : - In Roswyn's opinion, he's one of the more interesting faces she's met of late. Twice she'd seen him in passing. Once when a particular Blade was throwing coin at him and another time when she'd overheard a rather small Miqo'te man yelling at him about how untrustworthy he was. This was more than enough to pique her interest. They ended up speaking for several hours and despite his shortness with her questions she found herself oddly enthralled. Perhaps it's the mystery he embodies. However, she doesn't pretend that he wouldn't turn on her if it suited his current interests. </td>

<td style="width:50%";>●'''[[Erik Mynhier]]''' : - Roswyn approached this gentleman because of his unique looks and very tall stature. She'd not met or seen him before and his rather long title and list of occupations caught her rather off guard. She'd found that he'd been on a mission and recently returned to Ul'dah. He is a little stoic for her tastes, however. Almost oddly robotic in his sense of duty. Admirable, but boring. </td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td style="width=50%;">●'''[[Ignasse Arbeau]]''' : Ignasse could both be called a friend and an enemy in many regards. The two share a strange, antagonistic yet affectionate friendship, both loving to tease and give the other hell on occasion. Ignasse is one of the men that carries a scar on his face from Ros's temper. In retrospect, she has no idea why he chooses to remain on "good" terms with her but she is glad he does. The two have become closer as of late, with Roswyn finally admitting how much she enjoys his company. The feeling was surprisingly reciprocated and now the two stand at an odd impasse. A unique mess of pranking each other while giving sly winks and smiles. </td>

<td style="width=50%;">●'''[[Darturu Torlan]]''' : The more they speak the more drawn to him Roswyn finds herself. The two have discussed many subjects, not the least of which seems to be the odd, yet very distinct urge they both have to trust each other. They have many similarities and responsibilities, including the management of both their free companies and they're naturally able to retreat from this when they speak. While some of his behaviors should be putting her on guard, especially his habit of appearing in her room unannounced, she finding herself relaxed and amused instead. An unexpected, yet very welcome addition into her life. </td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td style="width:50%";>●'''[[Surilian Blu]]''' : - Roswyn only met her the one time, escorting her when she felt she could be in danger. But from what she has been told and what she has witnessed, she firmly believes they have much in common. However, because she understands this, she also understands how risky it could be to bring Suri close as a friend. </td>

<td style="width:50%";>●'''[[Kage Kiryuu]]''' : - He's cuter with a tail in her mind. Despite his obvious, radical changes, Roswyn still likes the little guy. It's likely foolish for her to, considering the sides of certain issues, but he's practically impossible to hate. Additionally, she's finding herself thinking he's in trouble but the situation is so complicated she's unsure how to proceed. </td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td style="width:50%;">●'''[[Benedict Walker]]''': Leader of a Mercenary group, Roswyn met Ben during a rather large party hosted by another free company. At first, she wasn't impressed by the Hyur but as the night wore on she found herself increasingly pleased by his gentlemanly demeanor and his almost poetic words. It seems a strange dichotomy for a battle-worn man such as him but it's a contrast she enjoys. She would very much like to do business with him...or perhaps just see him again. </td>

<td style="width:50%;">●'''[[Zaiaku Kurai]]''' : She originally tried to look past his rather lecherous nature but he's done nothing but confirm her suspicious. She teasingly calls him "Lady Watcher" anytime she sees him lingering in the Quicksand. She's half a mind to speak to poor Aya about him. He sure stares at her enough... </td>

===<div style="padding-left:5px;padding-top:7px;height:30px;background:#560319; font-size:30px; color:#FFFFFF">Rumors</div>===
=== Common Rumors ===

::*She used to frequent the Quicksand quite often. We don't see her much anymore.
::*She still does seem to enjoy fashion, doesn't she?
::*I overheard her yelling and growling at some poor Merchant. Sounds like she has a temper.

=== Moderate Rumors ===

::*That girl occasionally wears weapons. I think she knows how to use them too.
::*You know, come to think of it, I have no idea what she actually does for a living...
::*She tends to stick to Miqo'te. Hyur's maybe. Elezen? Forget it.
::*In all the times I've seen her introduce herself she has "never" used a last name. And I mean Never.

=== Rare Rumors ===

::*We see her duck in and out of houses here in Drybone before she heads North somewhere. Ain't much had the nerve to try followin her.
::*Aye, she passes through South Shroud. She manages to wander into bandit camps and come out unscathed. It's enough to make a person wonder about her affiliations...
::*Her? No. Stay away. You'll get your face carved up or go missing. That one snaps.
::*I once heard a man joke about her summoning demons of some kind to protect her. Maybe it was in jest but his face was straight the whole time...

=== Player Character Rumors ===

::*"She combines farsighted vision with selective blindness, and a crystal certainty that she is always right. She is ambitious, and ruthless in her pursuit of her ambition. Yet beneath it all she is still vulnerable, and that makes her eminently appealing. I've watched her grow from a young girl to a capable young woman, watched her build something she's always wanted. We may not see one another, nor even speak anymore, but I've never been more proud of her." - [[C'kayah Tia]]
::*"Stubborn as a brick in the wind." - [[Keroa Mosuke]]
::*"I've only just met her recently. I saw her once before when I first came to Ul'dah, and the first impression was rather poor. I've heard more negatives then positives about her, but you know how people like to talk. So far she seems friendly enough." - [[Lilithium Altair]]
::*Feel free to add if you know of her!

===<div style="padding-left:5px;padding-top:10px;height:30px;background:#560319; font-size:30px; color:#FFFFFF">History</div>===

=== Childhood ===

Roswyn's childhood was defined by many factors she'd prefer to never experience again. It's rare she's heard discussing it and even rarer for her to disclose details. A member of a rather unremarkable group of bandits in the Black Shroud, Roswyn was adopted into this lifestyle when her mother was killed by the same group that adopted her. Her mother's death was an unfortunate accident, a stray arrow catching her during a robbing of the caravan she happened to be traveling in. Roswyn was born mere moments before her death and all she knows of her mother was told her her by the members of her gurilla group who happened to be present that day.

Roswyn grew up embedded in this lifestyle defined by a hatred of Wildwoods, a distaste for the Adder, and a drive to survive. Being cold, persecuted, and hungry were staples of her younger years and it wouldn't have been beyond her to put an arrow in the throat of a Gridanian guard who happened to wander too far from the trail leading to his city if she thought he had food or provisions she could procure.

It was the Calamity that ended this lifestyle for her, resulting in her adoption. She watched the majority of her adoptive family perish before her eyes that day and she herself merely laid on the ground, waiting to accept death at the hands of fate, until she found herself scooped up and taken elsewhere.

=== Adolescence ===

At the age of 14, Roswyn found herself adopted and brought to Ul'dah, a city like she never could have imagined from her humble scope of the world. It took several years of education and training for her to overcome her humble upbringing, her patterns of speech and dialect changing to reflect this. Despite her origins, Roswyn possessed a keen mind and this was swiftly recognized by her adoptive father. In addition to her training as an Archanist, she was taught many other skills that are evident today with her current line of work. Through her years of study, her instructors recognized that she had an amazing, yet untapped aptitude for magic that she had never focused on. It was also discovered that she had a very specific mental and personality disorder, likely developed after the Calamity, and it's something that affects her to this day.

At was at this time of about 15 years of age that Roswyn met [[C'kayah Tia]], a smuggler who had been doing business with her father. Roswyn grew rather fond of the man. He was always kind to her and armed with a gift or a story to tell. She never could have known than that it would be this relationship that would explode into an array of complications once she reached adulthood.

=== Present ===
Roswyn is fairly new on the scene in Ul'dah, leading many to wonder where the hell she came from. She posses a strange amount of knowledge of the underworld for a young woman and can come across as oddly threatening and calculating, while at the same time leaving people with the impression that she is harmless. Who knows where this chosen path will lead her?

The following characters may have the possibility of an RP link with Roswyn:

::*Anyone who has lived in Ul'dah might recognize her from the shopping she does around the city.
::*Anyone with ties to the Ul'dahn underground.
::*Anyone who peruses the shadier bars.
::*Mercs, sellswords or assassins looking for hire or information brokers or informants looking to make a contact.
::*Anyone who opens conversation with her in public. She tends not to open it herself unless you interest her in a particular way.

=== Annotations ===

Roswyn will likely change a bit with the release of rogue/ninja as this was how the character was originally envisioned.

I used (and heavily edited) the template page of [[Brynhilde Wulf]] and [[Lurial Vashir]] after asking for permission first.
