=== General ===

'''Lilithium Rinannis (Lilith-ium Ri-nan-is) '''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 two years 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...

She has become the owner of a staffing company known as the Free Wing Society and adopted a little boy named Adokenai and a Keeper kit named Mikh'a. Recently she has eloped with her fiance, Locke!

'''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 ===

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 has since dyed it a darker blonde that she intends to keep permanent. Her eyes are very light green with a silvery cast to the color to give it an unique, 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 strength it takes to wield her axe and fist weapons, and sun kissed 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. She has a surprisingly emotional and sensitive side that only a handful of people have been able to witness.

== 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]]

=== Family ===

''●''●[[Ghislan Nightwing]]: 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 mourned her first and only true love. However, during a series of events to give Kao a new body they came across a Garlean named Velstraz who was used as Kao's new host body. After the metaphorical smoke cleared, it was revealed to actually have been Ghislan who now was of body and mind with Lili's friend and employee. She steps awkwardly around the Highlander, still in shock and unsure how to take the revelation.

''●''[[Adokenai Rinannis]]: 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 mother or playing around some where near by.

''●''[[Mikh'a Rinannis]]: A little Keeper kit about one year of age, Lili adopted this little tyke and can sometimes be seen carrying him around. As a baby his interests are narrow, but he certainly seems to love new people! And Gran!

''●''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 ===

''●''[[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, and still finds her charming enough.

''●''[[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 he has since left the Society.

●[[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 months Lili's affections had softened, but the friendship remained. Especially as Chokho comes to work for her at the Society.

''●''●[[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, though their open relationship and some disputes led her to taking her leave of the male. Recently with the kidnapping of her adopted son [[Adokenai Altair]] she has turned her sights to her almost-husband for aid, which C'kayah has given.

''●''[[Clover Blake]]: One of the Society's neighbors that lives just up the hill, Lili met the young woman in passing via [[Xydane Vale]]. She hasn't seen her since, but her shyness was endearing.

''●''[[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 pleasant friendship.

''●''●[[Kagewoe Erasus]]: Fiance of Nymira's. 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 had the two walking on thin ice around one another, but things seemed to lead to a much more neutral standing before finally becoming more friendly before him and his fiance left to pursue work opportunities elsewhere.

''●''[[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 interactions with C'kayah and the Morbolvines, she's looked to the woman as a casual friend despite all of their differences and previous disputes. She was to C'kayah what Kaiten was to Lili during the time Lili and C'kayah were together. They are friends, and Lili has recently helped the woman by giving her advice and aid.

[[Kaiten Skyborn]]: If asked who this person is or about him, she'd blink at you and look utterly puzzled. "...Who?"

''●''[[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 admitted to having an interest in her, but she preferred to be friends over anything. After he joined the Free Wing Society, she began helping him with matters regarding his 'health', which led to a shocking turn of events...(See Family section above as "Ghislan Nightwing")

''●''[[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. Nowadays when Kol is brought up in conversation she merely looks smug.

''●''[[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.

''●''[[Liandri Mei]]: One of Lili's employees and a spunky redheaded miqo'te who likes to drink. While dabbling in things Void related, Lili tries her best to protect the woman and her secrets from behind the scenes. They've grown friendlier with time, and have had moments of girl gossiping.

''●''[[Liliana Nazareth]]: A young mother who looks like Lili from bust size to hair color to profile and even eyes (save the color). While their similarities have gotten the two confused for one another in the past, the news of her 'death' has led Lili to trying to find answers when she can.

♥●[[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. The more time Lili has spent with him the more affectionate she had become, as well as trusting of him. He's shared many secrets with her, all of which she keeps to herself. Their relationship has gradually grown out of the public eye, but it doesn't seem to affect their business relationship. Now a days, they are openly affectionate with one another even around other people and Lili seems quite smitten with the younger blonde. Recently he has proposed and the two are now secretly married.

''●''[[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 back story to keep her eye on the girl when she's able to, and to try and guide harm out of her way.

''●''[[Nymira Valeroyant]]: Once a Society member, Nymira also helped Lili look after its affairs and members, though she hasn't seen or heard from the woman since her and Kage left to work else where.

''●''[[Rock Shattermountain]]: A Highlander Lili 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 began to bond from there. He is also the one that gave her a little pet fawn whom she affectionately calls Dot. As their interraction 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 an easy 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. When 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 his related associates.

''●''[[Thrandis Dale]]: Having met outside of the Quicksand, Thrandis approached Lili with the desire to have one of the freshly baked rolls she happened to have in a basket on her person. He followed her to the lane, where they fed some of the orphans and chatted. Since then they meet up now and again for pleasantries and conversation, with Lili recently agreeing to teach Thrandis how to read and write, which she never got to fulfill before his untimely demise.

''●''[[Titor Jaraba]]: An alchemist that Lili has seen around off and on through the work they both do helping those in Ul'dah with their regents and tonics. While not close, Lili has recently come to him about helping with research towards a cure for the illness her twin daughters share. The revelation of him sharing a similar condition has her feeling more at ease that he is going to assist, and plans to help him all she can.

''●''●[[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. After running into the man at the Grindstone and also getting to meet his future wife, she feels far more at ease about him then before.

''●''●[[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 regarded as a friend, the interactions Lili has had with C'kayah had 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 from both of them. Things never fully recovered after that, and when finding out that Lili and C'kayah were still together, she resigned from the Society. Even after T'shina helped with the apprehension of Zaiaku, she can tell the girl still has sore feelings about the past. Even so, it hasn't made Lili regret any of her choices.

●[[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. His interaction with members of her Society did not help his case and now she more or less ignores his existance.

''●''[[Xydane Vale]]:A mysterious man Lili only met once in passing at the Botanist Guild. He was looking for a young woman ([[Clover Blake]]) and asked Lili to give her a bouquet of flowers should she ever find her. She ended up coming across him and Clover at random right in front of her house where the flowers were then delivered and food was given to them both. She finds him to be friendly enough, though a little sad.

●[[Zaiaku Kurai]]: Lili didn't think much of the man when they first met. But the moons worth of on again off again mind games and his attitude and actions against her son have made her positively hostile. It even led to a battle in which Zaiaku yielded and promised to leave Ado be. However, to this day she'd rather feed him to the dodos then look upon him longer then needed. This has only grown since he kidnapped her son Ado in exchange for her property and hand in marriage, though the little boy has since been returned safely to her and the marriage he desired never happened. Since then, she heard he's gone into hiding.

== 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 leaving the Society. While this happened, Lili remained firm in her decision to spend her future with the male. Life continued to change and though Lili and C'kayah eventually parted ways, she took the developments in stride and poured herself further into work. She then had moved Ado and herself into their company house with the hopes to one day get a home of their own.

In her pursuit of helping her employees who have also become her friends, Lili has done things she's not proud of. From keeping secrets to covering up misdeeds and misconduct, it's had the effect of loosening her sense of morals and made her more receptive to doing shadier dealings. Recently during a private ritual to save [[Kaohastraal Aeseroix]] from wasting away in decay, they acquired the body of a Garlean prisoner doomed for execution. Only after the ritual was complete when they removed his mask and robes did Lili see that it was none other then her supposedly deceased husband [[Ghislan Nightwing]]. While now possessing memories of both her friend and husband, it's left Lili in a very strange position both emotionally and legally. At the same time to add to the confusion, her relationship with [[Kaiten Skyborn]] dwindled and her connection to [[Locke Rinannis]] strengthened just as the Society made a move into a new house in the Lavender Beds.

The move to the Beds was smooth enough, with work picking up and more employees being gained while others have left (which is the way of things). Taking advantage of being well liked and her Society and social connections, Lili has obtained more jobs and allies then ever before. However, hopes of expanding added to her love of airships as slowly pulling her mind towards changes to be made within her precious company. During this time, Ado was kidnapped by [[Zaiaku Kurai]] during one of his regular visits to the Quicksand and it left Lili frantic. Desperate for help, she called upon C'kayah and even posted fliers in the local paper and around the city-states. While Ado was returned safely too her, Lili vowed to make the man pay and the small army she amassed eventually drove the male into hiding.

'''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 new company house in the Lavender Beds, 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 and friends. Now that she's situated in her new life, she has been caught improving her relations with others in her company that she's spent time with or has aided.

:-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! You can reach me in game or on Skype (Lili Hoppit!)!

=== General ===

'''Lilithium Rinannis (Lilith-ium Ri-nan-is) '''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 two years 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...

She has become the owner of a staffing company known as the Free Wing Society and adopted a little boy named Adokenai and a Keeper kit named Mikh'a. Recently she has eloped with her fiance, Locke!

'''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 ===

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 has since dyed it a darker blonde that she intends to keep permanent. Her eyes are very light green with a silvery cast to the color to give it an unique, 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 strength it takes to wield her axe and fist weapons, and sun kissed 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. She has a surprisingly emotional and sensitive side that only a handful of people have been able to witness.

== 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]]

=== Family ===

''●''●[[Ghislan Nightwing]]: 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 mourned her first and only true love. However, during a series of events to give Kao a new body they came across a Garlean named Velstraz who was used as Kao's new host body. After the metaphorical smoke cleared, it was revealed to actually have been Ghislan who now was of body and mind with Lili's friend and employee. She steps awkwardly around the Highlander, still in shock and unsure how to take the revelation.

''●''[[Adokenai Rinannis]]: 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 mother or playing around some where near by.

''●''[[Mikh'a Rinannis]]: A little Keeper kit about one year of age, Lili adopted this little tyke and can sometimes be seen carrying him around. As a baby his interests are narrow, but he certainly seems to love new people! And Gran!

''●''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 ===

''●''[[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, and still finds her charming enough.

''●''[[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 he has since left the Society.

●[[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 and months 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. Recently with the kidnapping of her adopted son [[Adokenai Altair]] she has turned her sights to her almost-husband for aid, which C'kayah has given.

''●''[[Clover Blake]]: One of the Society's neighbors that lives just up the hill, Lili met the young woman in passing via [[Xydane Vale]]. She hasn't seen her since, but her shyness was endearing.

''●''[[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 pleasant friendship.

''●''●[[Kagewoe Erasus]]: Fiance of Nymira's. 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 had the two walking on thin ice around one another, but things seemed to lead to a much more neutral standing before finally becoming more friendly before him and his fiance left to pursue work opportunities elsewhere.

''●''[[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 interactions with C'kayah and the Morbolvines, she's looked to the woman as a casual friend despite all of their differences and previous disputes. She was to C'kayah what Kaiten was to Lili during the time Lili and C'kayah were together. They are friends, and Lili has recently helped the woman by giving her advice and aid.

[[Kaiten Skyborn]]: If asked who this person is or about him, she'd blink at you and look utterly puzzled. "...Who?"

''●''[[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 admitted to having an interest in her, but she preferred to be friends over anything. After he joined the Free Wing Society, she began helping him with matters regarding his 'health', which led to a shocking turn of events...(See Family section above as "Ghislan Nightwing")

''●''[[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.

''●''[[Liandri Mei]]: One of Lili's employees and a spunky redheaded miqo'te who likes to drink. While dabbling in things Void related, Lili tries her best to protect the woman and her secrets from behind the scenes. They've grown friendlier with time, and have had moments of girl gossiping.

''●''[[Liliana Nazareth]]: A young mother who looks like Lili from bust size to hair color to profile and even eyes (save the color). While their similarities have gotten the two confused for one another in the past, the news of her 'death' has led Lili to trying to find answers when she can.

♥●[[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. The more time Lili has spent with him the more affectionate she had become, as well as trusting of him. He's shared many secrets with her, all of which she keeps to herself. Their relationship has gradually grown out of the public eye, but it doesn't seem to affect their business relationship. Now a days, they are openly affectionate with one another even around other people and Lili seems quite smitten with the younger blonde. Recently he has proposed and the two are now secretly married.

''●''[[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 back story to keep her eye on the girl when she's able to, and to try and guide harm out of her way.

''●''[[Nymira Valeroyant]]: Once a Society member, Nymira also helped Lili look after its affairs and members, though she hasn't seen or heard from the woman since her and Kage left to work else where.

''●''[[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 an easy 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 his related associates.

''●''[[Thrandis Dale]]: Having met outside of the Quicksand, Thrandis approached Lili with the desire to have one of the freshly baked rolls she happened to have in a basket on her person. He followed her to the lane, where they fed some of the orphans and chatted. Since then they meet up now and again for pleasantries and conversation, with Lili recently agreeing to teach Thrandis how to read and write, which she never got to fulfill before his untimely demise.

''●''[[Titor Jaraba]]: An alchemist that Lili has seen around off and on through the work they both do helping those in Ul'dah with their regents and tonics. While not close, Lili has recently come to him about helping with research towards a cure for the illness her twin daughters share. The revelation of him sharing a similar condition has her feeling more at ease that he is going to assist, and plans to help him all she can.

''●''●[[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 interactions Lili has had with C'kayah had 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 from both of them. Things never fully recovered after that, and when finding out that Lili and C'kayah were still together, she resigned from the Society. Even after T'shina helped with the apprehension of Zaiaku, she can tell the girl still has sore feelings about the past. Even so, it hasn't made Lili regret any of her choices.

●[[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. His interaction with members of her Society did not help his case and now she more or less ignores his existance.

''●''[[Xydane Vale]]:A mysterious man Lili only met once in passing at the Botanist Guild. He was looking for a young woman ([[Clover Blake]]) and asked Lili to give her a bouquet of flowers should she ever find her. She ended up coming across him and Clover at random right in front of her house where the flowers were then delivered and food was given to them both. She finds him to be friendly enough, though a little sad.

●[[Zaiaku Kurai]]: Lili didn't think much of the man when they first met. But the moons worth of on again off again mind games and his attitude and actions against her son have made her positively hostile. It even led to a battle in which Zaiaku yielded and promised to leave Ado be. However, to this day she'd rather feed him to the dodos then look upon him longer then needed. This has only grown since he kidnapped her son Ado in exchange for her property and hand in marriage, though the little boy has since been returned safely to her and the marriage he desired never happened. Since then, she heard he's gone into hiding.

== 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 leaving the Society. While this happened, Lili remained firm in her decision to spend her future with the male. Life continued to change and though Lili and C'kayah eventually parted ways, she took the developments in stride and poured herself further into work. She then had moved Ado and herself into their company house with the hopes to one day get a home of their own.

In her pursuit of helping her employees who have also become her friends, Lili has done things she's not proud of. From keeping secrets to covering up misdeeds and misconduct, it's had the effect of loosening her sense of morals and made her more receptive to doing shadier dealings. Recently during a private ritual to save [[Kaohastraal Aeseroix]] from wasting away in decay, they acquired the body of a Garlean prisoner doomed for execution. Only after the ritual was complete when they removed his mask and robes did Lili see that it was none other then her supposedly deceased husband [[Ghislan Nightwing]]. While now possessing memories of both her friend and husband, it's left Lili in a very strange position both emotionally and legally. At the same time to add to the confusion, her relationship with [[Kaiten Skyborn]] dwindled and her connection to [[Locke Rinannis]] strengthened just as the Society made a move into a new house in the Lavender Beds.

The move to the Beds was smooth enough, with work picking up and more employees being gained while others have left (which is the way of things). Taking advantage of being well liked and her Society and social connections, Lili has obtained more jobs and allies then ever before. However, hopes of expanding added to her love of airships as slowly pulling her mind towards changes to be made within her precious company. During this time, Ado was kidnapped by [[Zaiaku Kurai]] during one of his regular visits to the Quicksand and it left Lili frantic. Desperate for help, she called upon C'kayah and even posted fliers in the local paper and around the city-states. While Ado was returned safely too her, Lili vowed to make the man pay and the small army she amassed eventually drove the male into hiding.

'''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 new company house in the Lavender Beds, 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 and friends. Now that she's situated in her new life, she has been caught improving her relations with others in her company that she's spent time with or has aided.

:-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! You can reach me in game or on Skype (Lili Hoppit!)!

===General===
Having already been born sickly, Sarameda ('Sara') was dealt an even worse hand by becoming far weaker far faster then her elder sister Deisara. It led to countless suns and moons spent in bed recovering from even the smallest cough and the development of multiple phobias and insecurities that carried out into her young adult life. However, with the help of her mother's connections and associates, new hope has begun to rise that one day Sara can get what she has always wanted...

● [[Adokenai Rinannis]]: Sara's oldest adopted brother, a six cycle old Lalafell child who is mischevious and loves sweets.

● [[Amore Silverlark]]: Having died before she was born, Sara knows very little about her biological father save for information pertaining to his medical condition and that he was an old friend of Ghislan's.

● [[Ghislan Nightwing]]: Lili's previous husband, he raised Sara and Dei as if they were his own. She misses him terribly even though he's been gone since she was little.

● [[Deisara Silverlark]]: The oldest Silverlark twin and the person Sara adores more then anything else. Not just because they're sisters and twins, but becaue they share the same pain. However, Dei's more harsh and steely nature intimidates Sara. Especially as the years have gone on.

● [[Lilithium Rinannis]]: Sara's mother and her primary caregiver.

● [[Locke Rinannis]]: Sara's stepfather who recently married her mother, Lili. She doesn't know much about the man except he's very kind and soft spoken.

● [[Mikh'a Rinannis]]: Sara's youngest adopted brother, a Keeper babyqo'te.

===Friends===
● [[Dante Thalmos]]: An ex employee of her mother's. He and her happened to run into one another in Ul'dah and after speaking and realizing who she was, he wanted to see her mother and in exchange further offered to escort her to a cook-out that occurred later in the evening. She finds him polite and friendly, but as with most people he makes her a nervous wreck.

● [[Gin Crow]]: When at the Free Wing estate, she came across Gin. Drunk. Sputtering gibberish. Yelling. It startled her so badly she fainted. When she came too? He was trying to haul off her 'dead body' in a rug and when she came too he thought she was a zombie. If possible, she runs away from him!

● [[Orrian Servais]]: A handsome Duskwright who works for her mother, she had heard of his knack for things Void related and came to him about possibly finding alternative methods to healing her and her sister. However, those very dark methods are what have driven her away...and tugged her sister closer.

♥● [[Titor Jaraba]]: A colleague of her mother's, Titor was brought to Sara as someone who could help her with treatments for her sickness. He's been vigilant in keeping an eye on her and monitoring her health, and she has done the same as well. They connect on a different level then most individuals, united moreso by a common pain and tentative affection then what others might experience.

● [[Xefjord Kiromeda]]: Sara only knows him as 'Mido', and he's one of those she's met while visiting Doctor Titor. Always in a mask, she's never seen his face but she's yet to question why he always keeps it hidden.

===General===
Born sickly like her twin, Sara, Dei has spent her life handling the developments in a far different way then her sister. She chooses instead to lash out and covet her family and what few friends she has with a stubborn and almost possessive closeness. While those in her confidence or who share her blood know that she's not exactly a bad person, it's a hard thing to see on the outside. Recently she's grown desperate to find a way to prolong her existance as well as that of her sister's and is willing to go to ANY lengths to achieve her goal...

● [[Adokenai Rinannis]]: Dei's oldest adopted brother, a six cycle old Lalafell child who is mischevious and loves sweets.

● [[Amore Silverlark]]: Having died before she was born, Dei knows very little about her biological father save for information pertaining to his medical condition and that he was an old friend of Ghislan's.

● [[Ghislan Nightwing]]: Lili's previous husband, he raised Sara and Dei as if they were his own. Dei doesn't remember him and doesn't care too.

● [[Lilithium Rinannis]]: Dei's mother. She respects and idolizes her about all others and is severely protective of her.

● [[Locke Rinannis]]: Dei's stepfather who recently married her mother, Lili. She doesn't know much about the man except he's very kind and soft spoken. Plus, she enjoys giving him a hard time.

● [[Mikh'a Rinannis]]: Dei's youngest adopted brother, a Keeper babyqo'te.

● [[Sarameda Silverlark]]: The youngest and more sickly of the sisters, Dei has always had a soft spot for her sister. Though recently she has not felt as close to her twin, and to outsiders she seems to be showing very little remorse for it.

===Friends===
● [[Gin Crow]]: She came across the man in one of the most awkward ways possible: drunk and without his pants on. Literally. However, she gives him a harder time then most due to her past with alcoholism. She'll constantly check up on him to make sure he isn't reeking of booze.

● [[Orrian Servais]]: Sara had told her sister about this mysterious male, and so she has gone to him for aide. Her gut tells her not to trust him. The rest of her? She doesn't care. She only wants to be normal.

==Character==
===General===
Having already been born sickly, Sarameda ('Sara') was dealt an even worse hand by becoming far weaker far faster then her elder sister Deisara. It led to countless suns and moons spent in bed recovering from even the smallest cough and the development of multiple phobias and insecurities that carried out into her young adult life. However, with the help of her mother's connections and associates, new hope has begun to rise that one day Sara can get what she has always wanted...

● [[Ghislan Nightwing]]: Lili's previous husband, he raised Sara and Dei as if they were his own. She misses him terribly even though he's been gone since she was little.

● [[Deisara Silverlark]]: The oldest Silverlark twin and the person Sara adores more then anything else. Not just because they're sisters and twins, but becaue they share the same pain. However, Dei's more harsh and steely nature intimidates Sara. Especially as the years have gone on.

● [[Lilithium Rinannis]]: Sara's mother and her primary caregiver.

● [[Locke Rinannis]]: Sara's stepfather who recently married her mother, Lili. She doesn't know much about the man except he's very kind and soft spoken.

===Friends===
● [[Dante Thalmos]]: An ex employee of her mother's. He and her happened to run into one another in Ul'dah and after speaking and realizing who she was, he wanted to see her mother and in exchange further offered to escort her to a cook-out that occurred later in the evening. She finds him polite and friendly, but as with most people he makes her a nervous wreck.

● [[Gin Crow]]: When at the Free Wing estate, she came across Gin. Drunk. Sputtering gibberish. Yelling. It startled her so badly she fainted. When she came too? He was trying to haul off her 'dead body' in a rug and when she came too he thought she was a zombie. If possible, she runs away from him!

● [[Orrian Servais]]: A handsome Duskwright who works for her mother, she had heard of his knack for things Void related and came to him about possibly finding alternative methods to healing her and her sister. However, those very dark methods are what have driven her away...and tugged her sister closer.

♥● [[Titor Jaraba]]: A colleague of her mother's, Titor was brought to Sara as someone who could help her with treatments for her sickness. He's been vigilant in keeping an eye on her and monitoring her health, and she has done the same as well. They connect on a different level then most individuals, united moreso by a common pain and tentative affection then what others might experience.

● [[Xefjord Kiromeda]]: Sara only knows him as 'Mido', and he's one of those she's met while visiting Doctor Titor. Always in a mask, she's never seen his face but she's yet to question why he always keeps it hidden.

==Character==
===General===
Born sickly like her twin, Sara, Dei has spent her life handling the developments in a far different way then her sister. She chooses instead to lash out and covet her family and what few friends she has with a stubborn and almost possessive closeness. While those in her confidence or who share her blood know that she's not exactly a bad person, it's a hard thing to see on the outside. Recently she's grown desperate to find a way to prolong her existance as well as that of her sister's and is willing to go to ANY lengths to achieve her goal...

● [[Lilithium Rinannis]]: Sara's mother and her primary caregiver.

● [[Locke Rinannis]]: Sara's stepfather who recently married her mother, Lili. She doesn't know much about the man except he's very kind and soft spoken.

● [[Deisara Silverlark]]: The oldest Silverlark twin and the person Sara adores more then anything else. Not just because they're sisters and twins, but becaue they share the same pain. However, Dei's more harsh and steely nature intimidates Sara. Especially as the years have gone on.

● [[Dante Thalmos]]: An ex employee of her mother's. He and her happened to run into one another in Ul'dah and after speaking and realizing who she was, he wanted to see her mother and in exchange further offered to escort her to a cook-out that occurred later in the evening.

=== 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 two years 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...

She has become the owner of a staffing company known as the Free Wing Society and adopted a little boy named Adokenai and a Keeper kit named Mikh'a. Recently she has eloped with her fiance, Locke!

'''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 ===

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 has since dyed it a darker blonde that she intends to keep permanent. Her eyes are very light green with a silvery cast to the color to give it an unique, 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 strength it takes to wield her axe and fist weapons, and sun kissed 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. She has a surprisingly emotional and sensitive side that only a handful of people have been able to witness.

== 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]]

=== Family ===

''●''●[[Ghislan Nightwing]]: 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 mourned her first and only true love. However, during a series of events to give Kao a new body they came across a Garlean named Velstraz who was used as Kao's new host body. After the metaphorical smoke cleared, it was revealed to actually have been Ghislan who now was of body and mind with Lili's friend and employee. She steps awkwardly around the Highlander, still in shock and unsure how to take the revelation.

''●''[[Adokenai Rinannis]]: 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 mother or playing around some where near by.

''●''[[Mikh'a Rinannis]]: A little Keeper kit about one year of age, Lili adopted this little tyke and can sometimes be seen carrying him around. As a baby his interests are narrow, but he certainly seems to love new people! And Gran!

''●''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 ===

''●''[[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, and still finds her charming enough.

''●''[[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 he has since left the Society.

●[[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 and months 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. Recently with the kidnapping of her adopted son [[Adokenai Altair]] she has turned her sights to her almost-husband for aid, which C'kayah has given.

''●''[[Clover Blake]]: One of the Society's neighbors that lives just up the hill, Lili met the young woman in passing via [[Xydane Vale]]. She hasn't seen her since, but her shyness was endearing.

''●''[[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 pleasant friendship.

''●''●[[Kagewoe Erasus]]: Fiance of Nymira's. 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 had the two walking on thin ice around one another, but things seemed to lead to a much more neutral standing before finally becoming more friendly before him and his fiance left to pursue work opportunities elsewhere.

''●''[[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 interactions with C'kayah and the Morbolvines, she's looked to the woman as a casual friend despite all of their differences and previous disputes. She was to C'kayah what Kaiten was to Lili during the time Lili and C'kayah were together. They are friends, and Lili has recently helped the woman by giving her advice and aid.

[[Kaiten Skyborn]]: If asked who this person is or about him, she'd blink at you and look utterly puzzled. "...Who?"

''●''[[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 admitted to having an interest in her, but she preferred to be friends over anything. After he joined the Free Wing Society, she began helping him with matters regarding his 'health', which led to a shocking turn of events...(See Family section above as "Ghislan Nightwing")

''●''[[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.

''●''[[Liandri Mei]]: One of Lili's employees and a spunky redheaded miqo'te who likes to drink. While dabbling in things Void related, Lili tries her best to protect the woman and her secrets from behind the scenes. They've grown friendlier with time, and have had moments of girl gossiping.

''●''[[Liliana Nazareth]]: A young mother who looks like Lili from bust size to hair color to profile and even eyes (save the color). While their similarities have gotten the two confused for one another in the past, the news of her 'death' has led Lili to trying to find answers when she can.

♥●[[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. The more time Lili has spent with him the more affectionate she had become, as well as trusting of him. He's shared many secrets with her, all of which she keeps to herself. Their relationship has gradually grown out of the public eye, but it doesn't seem to affect their business relationship. Now a days, they are openly affectionate with one another even around other people and Lili seems quite smitten with the younger blonde. Recently he has proposed and the two are now secretly married.

''●''[[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 back story to keep her eye on the girl when she's able to, and to try and guide harm out of her way.

''●''[[Nymira Valeroyant]]: Once a Society member, Nymira also helped Lili look after its affairs and members, though she hasn't seen or heard from the woman since her and Kage left to work else where.

''●''[[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 an easy 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 his related associates.

''●''[[Thrandis Dale]]: Having met outside of the Quicksand, Thrandis approached Lili with the desire to have one of the freshly baked rolls she happened to have in a basket on her person. He followed her to the lane, where they fed some of the orphans and chatted. Since then they meet up now and again for pleasantries and conversation, with Lili recently agreeing to teach Thrandis how to read and write, which she never got to fulfill before his untimely demise.

''●''[[Titor Jaraba]]: An alchemist that Lili has seen around off and on through the work they both do helping those in Ul'dah with their regents and tonics. While not close, Lili has recently come to him about helping with research towards a cure for the illness her twin daughters share. The revelation of him sharing a similar condition has her feeling more at ease that he is going to assist, and plans to help him all she can.

''●''●[[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 interactions Lili has had with C'kayah had 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 from both of them. Things never fully recovered after that, and when finding out that Lili and C'kayah were still together, she resigned from the Society. Even after T'shina helped with the apprehension of Zaiaku, she can tell the girl still has sore feelings about the past. Even so, it hasn't made Lili regret any of her choices.

●[[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. His interaction with members of her Society did not help his case and now she more or less ignores his existance.

''●''[[Xydane Vale]]:A mysterious man Lili only met once in passing at the Botanist Guild. He was looking for a young woman ([[Clover Blake]]) and asked Lili to give her a bouquet of flowers should she ever find her. She ended up coming across him and Clover at random right in front of her house where the flowers were then delivered and food was given to them both. She finds him to be friendly enough, though a little sad.

●[[Zaiaku Kurai]]: Lili didn't think much of the man when they first met. But the moons worth of on again off again mind games and his attitude and actions against her son have made her positively hostile. It even led to a battle in which Zaiaku yielded and promised to leave Ado be. However, to this day she'd rather feed him to the dodos then look upon him longer then needed. This has only grown since he kidnapped her son Ado in exchange for her property and hand in marriage, though the little boy has since been returned safely to her and the marriage he desired never happened. Since then, she heard he's gone into hiding.

== 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 leaving the Society. While this happened, Lili remained firm in her decision to spend her future with the male. Life continued to change and though Lili and C'kayah eventually parted ways, she took the developments in stride and poured herself further into work. She then had moved Ado and herself into their company house with the hopes to one day get a home of their own.

In her pursuit of helping her employees who have also become her friends, Lili has done things she's not proud of. From keeping secrets to covering up misdeeds and misconduct, it's had the effect of loosening her sense of morals and made her more receptive to doing shadier dealings. Recently during a private ritual to save [[Kaohastraal Aeseroix]] from wasting away in decay, they acquired the body of a Garlean prisoner doomed for execution. Only after the ritual was complete when they removed his mask and robes did Lili see that it was none other then her supposedly deceased husband [[Ghislan Nightwing]]. While now possessing memories of both her friend and husband, it's left Lili in a very strange position both emotionally and legally. At the same time to add to the confusion, her relationship with [[Kaiten Skyborn]] dwindled and her connection to [[Locke Rinannis]] strengthened just as the Society made a move into a new house in the Lavender Beds.

The move to the Beds was smooth enough, with work picking up and more employees being gained while others have left (which is the way of things). Taking advantage of being well liked and her Society and social connections, Lili has obtained more jobs and allies then ever before. However, hopes of expanding added to her love of airships as slowly pulling her mind towards changes to be made within her precious company. During this time, Ado was kidnapped by [[Zaiaku Kurai]] during one of his regular visits to the Quicksand and it left Lili frantic. Desperate for help, she called upon C'kayah and even posted fliers in the local paper and around the city-states. While Ado was returned safely too her, Lili vowed to make the man pay and the small army she amassed eventually drove the male into hiding.

'''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 new company house in the Lavender Beds, 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 and friends. Now that she's situated in her new life, she has been caught improving her relations with others in her company that she's spent time with or has aided.

=== 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 two years 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...

She has become the owner of a staffing company known as the Free Wing Society and adopted a little boy named Adokenai and a Keeper kit named Mikh'a. Recently she has eloped with her fiance, Locke!

'''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 ===

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 has since dyed it a darker blonde that she intends to keep permanent. Her eyes are very light green with a silvery cast to the color to give it an unique, 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 strength it takes to wield her axe and fist weapons, and sun kissed 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. She has a surprisingly emotional and sensitive side that only a handful of people have been able to witness.

== 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]]

While Lili used to be quite the socialite, she's taken to spending much of her time with her free company and family. Though she can be spotted out and about running errands, usually with Mikh'a on her hip or with her fiance, Locke.

=== Family ===

''●''●[[Ghislan Nightwing]]: 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 mourned her first and only true love. However, during a series of events to give Kao a new body they came across a Garlean named Velstraz who was used as Kao's new host body. After the metaphorical smoke cleared, it was revealed to actually have been Ghislan who now was of body and mind with Lili's friend and employee. She steps awkwardly around the Highlander, still in shock and unsure how to take the revelation.

''●''[[Adokenai Altair]]: 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.

''●''[[Mikh'a Altair]]: A little Keeper kit about one year of age, Lili adopted this little tyke and can sometimes be seen carrying him around. As a baby his interests are narrow, but he certainly seems to love new people!

''●''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 ===

''●''[[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, and still finds her charming enough.

''●''[[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 he has since left the Society.

●[[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 and months 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. Recently with the kidnapping of her adopted son [[Adokenai Altair]] she has turned her sights to her almost-husband for aid, which C'kayah has given.

''●''[[Clover Blake]]: One of the Society's neighbors that lives just up the hill, Lili met the young woman in passing via [[Xydane Vale]]. She hasn't seen her since, but her shyness was endearing.

''●''[[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 pleasant friendship.

''●''●[[Kagewoe Erasus]]: Fiance of Nymira's. 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 had the two walking on thin ice around one another, but things seemed to lead to a much more neutral standing before finally becoming more friendly before him and his fiance left to pursue work opportunities elsewhere.

''●''[[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 interactions with C'kayah and the Morbolvines, she's looked to the woman as a casual friend despite all of their differences and previous disputes. She was to C'kayah what Kaiten was to Lili during the time Lili and C'kayah were together. They are friends, and Lili has recently helped the woman by giving her advice and aid.

[[Kaiten Skyborn]]: If asked who this person is or about him, she'd blink at you and look utterly puzzled. "...Who?"

''●''[[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 admitted to having an interest in her, but she preferred to be friends over anything. After he joined the Free Wing Society, she began helping him with matters regarding his 'health', which led to a shocking turn of events...(See Family section above as "Ghislan Nightwing")

''●''[[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.

''●''[[Liandri Mei]]: One of Lili's employees and a spunky redheaded miqo'te who likes to drink. While dabbling in things Void related, Lili tries her best to protect the woman and her secrets from behind the scenes. They've grown friendlier with time, and have had moments of girl gossiping.

''●''[[Liliana Nazareth]]: A young mother who looks like Lili from bust size to hair color to profile and even eyes (save the color). While their similarities have gotten the two confused for one another in the past, the news of her 'death' has led Lili to trying to find answers when she can.

♥●[[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. The more time Lili has spent with him the more affectionate she had become, as well as trusting of him. He's shared many secrets with her, all of which she keeps to herself. Their relationship has gradually grown out of the public eye, but it doesn't seem to affect their business relationship. Now a days, they are openly affectionate with one another even around other people and Lili seems quite smitten with the younger blonde. Recently he has proposed and the two are now secretly married.

''●''[[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 back story to keep her eye on the girl when she's able to, and to try and guide harm out of her way.

''●''[[Nymira Valeroyant]]: Once a Society member, Nymira also helped Lili look after its affairs and members, though she hasn't seen or heard from the woman since her and Kage left to work else where.

''●''[[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 an easy 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 his related associates.

''●''[[Thrandis Dale]]: Having met outside of the Quicksand, Thrandis approached Lili with the desire to have one of the freshly baked rolls she happened to have in a basket on her person. He followed her to the lane, where they fed some of the orphans and chatted. Since then they meet up now and again for pleasantries and conversation, with Lili recently agreeing to teach Thrandis how to read and write, which she never got to fulfill before his untimely demise.

''●''[[Titor Jaraba]]: An alchemist that Lili has seen around off and on through the work they both do helping those in Ul'dah with their regents and tonics. While not close, Lili has recently come to him about helping with research towards a cure for the illness her twin daughters share. The revelation of him sharing a similar condition has her feeling more at ease that he is going to assist, and plans to help him all she can.

''●''●[[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 interactions Lili has had with C'kayah had 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 from both of them. Things never fully recovered after that, and when finding out that Lili and C'kayah were still together, she resigned from the Society. Even after T'shina helped with the apprehension of Zaiaku, she can tell the girl still has sore feelings about the past. Even so, it hasn't made Lili regret any of her choices.

●[[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. His interaction with members of her Society did not help his case and now she more or less ignores his existance.

''●''[[Xydane Vale]]:A mysterious man Lili only met once in passing at the Botanist Guild. He was looking for a young woman ([[Clover Blake]]) and asked Lili to give her a bouquet of flowers should she ever find her. She ended up coming across him and Clover at random right in front of her house where the flowers were then delivered and food was given to them both. She finds him to be friendly enough, though a little sad.

●[[Zaiaku Kurai]]: Lili didn't think much of the man when they first met. But the moons worth of on again off again mind games and his attitude and actions against her son have made her positively hostile. It even led to a battle in which Zaiaku yielded and promised to leave Ado be. However, to this day she'd rather feed him to the dodos then look upon him longer then needed. This has only grown since he kidnapped her son Ado in exchange for her property and hand in marriage, though the little boy has since been returned safely to her and the marriage he desired never happened. Since then, she heard he's gone into hiding.

== 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 leaving the Society. While this happened, Lili remained firm in her decision to spend her future with the male. Life continued to change and though Lili and C'kayah eventually parted ways, she took the developments in stride and poured herself further into work. She then had moved Ado and herself into their company house with the hopes to one day get a home of their own.

In her pursuit of helping her employees who have also become her friends, Lili has done things she's not proud of. From keeping secrets to covering up misdeeds and misconduct, it's had the effect of loosening her sense of morals and made her more receptive to doing shadier dealings. Recently during a private ritual to save [[Kaohastraal Aeseroix]] from wasting away in decay, they acquired the body of a Garlean prisoner doomed for execution. Only after the ritual was complete when they removed his mask and robes did Lili see that it was none other then her supposedly deceased husband [[Ghislan Nightwing]]. While now possessing memories of both her friend and husband, it's left Lili in a very strange position both emotionally and legally. At the same time to add to the confusion, her relationship with [[Kaiten Skyborn]] dwindled and her connection to [[Locke Rinannis]] strengthened just as the Society made a move into a new house in the Lavender Beds.

The move to the Beds was smooth enough, with work picking up and more employees being gained while others have left (which is the way of things). Taking advantage of being well liked and her Society and social connections, Lili has obtained more jobs and allies then ever before. However, hopes of expanding added to her love of airships as slowly pulling her mind towards changes to be made within her precious company. During this time, Ado was kidnapped by [[Zaiaku Kurai]] during one of his regular visits to the Quicksand and it left Lili frantic. Desperate for help, she called upon C'kayah and even posted fliers in the local paper and around the city-states. While Ado was returned safely too her, Lili vowed to make the man pay and the small army she amassed eventually drove the male into hiding.

'''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 new company house in the Lavender Beds, 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 and friends. Now that she's situated in her new life, she has been caught improving her relations with others in her company that she's spent time with or has aided.

=== 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 two years 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...

She has become the owner of a staffing company known as the Free Wing Society and adopted a little boy named Adokenai and a Keeper kit named Mikh'a. Recently she has eloped with her fiance, Locke!

'''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 ===

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 has since dyed it a darker blonde that she intends to keep permanent. Her eyes are very light green with a silvery cast to the color to give it an unique, 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 strength it takes to wield her axe and fist weapons, and sun kissed 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. She has a surprisingly emotional and sensitive side that only a handful of people have been able to witness.

== 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]]: 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 mourned her first and only true love. However, during a series of events to give Kao a new body they came across a Garlean named Velstraz who was used as Kao's new host body. After the metaphorical smoke cleared, it was revealed to actually have been Ghislan who now was of body and mind with Lili's friend and employee. She steps awkwardly around the Highlander, still in shock and unsure how to take the revelation.

''●''[[Adokenai Altair]]: 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.

''●''[[Mikh'a Altair]]: A little Keeper kit about one year of age, Lili adopted this little tyke and can sometimes be seen carrying him around. As a baby his interests are narrow, but he certainly seems to love new people!

''●''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 ===

''●''[[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, and still finds her charming enough.

''●''[[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 he has since left the Society.

●[[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 and months 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. Recently with the kidnapping of her adopted son [[Adokenai Altair]] she has turned her sights to her almost-husband for aid, which C'kayah has given.

''●''[[Clover Blake]]: One of the Society's neighbors that lives just up the hill, Lili met the young woman in passing via [[Xydane Vale]]. She hasn't seen her since, but her shyness was endearing.

''●''[[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 pleasant friendship.

''●''●[[Kagewoe Erasus]]: Fiance of Nymira's. 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 had the two walking on thin ice around one another, but things seemed to lead to a much more neutral standing before finally becoming more friendly before him and his fiance left to pursue work opportunities elsewhere.

''●''[[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 interactions with C'kayah and the Morbolvines, she's looked to the woman as a casual friend despite all of their differences and previous disputes. She was to C'kayah what Kaiten was to Lili during the time Lili and C'kayah were together. They are friends, and Lili has recently helped the woman by giving her advice and aid.

[[Kaiten Skyborn]]: If asked who this person is or about him, she'd blink at you and look utterly puzzled. "...Who?"

''●''[[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 admitted to having an interest in her, but she preferred to be friends over anything. After he joined the Free Wing Society, she began helping him with matters regarding his 'health', which led to a shocking turn of events...(See Family section above as "Ghislan Nightwing")

''●''[[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.

''●''[[Liandri Mei]]: One of Lili's employees and a spunky redheaded miqo'te who likes to drink. While dabbling in things Void related, Lili tries her best to protect the woman and her secrets from behind the scenes. They've grown friendlier with time, and have had moments of girl gossiping.

''●''[[Liliana Nazareth]]: A young mother who looks like Lili from bust size to hair color to profile and even eyes (save the color). While their similarities have gotten the two confused for one another in the past, the news of her 'death' has led Lili to trying to find answers when she can.

♥●[[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. The more time Lili has spent with him the more affectionate she had become, as well as trusting of him. He's shared many secrets with her, all of which she keeps to herself. Their relationship has gradually grown out of the public eye, but it doesn't seem to affect their business relationship. Now a days, they are openly affectionate with one another even around other people and Lili seems quite smitten with the younger blonde. Recently he has proposed and the two are now secretly married.

''●''[[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 back story to keep her eye on the girl when she's able to, and to try and guide harm out of her way.

''●''[[Nymira Valeroyant]]: Once a Society member, Nymira also helped Lili look after its affairs and members, though she hasn't seen or heard from the woman since her and Kage left to work else where.

''●''[[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 an easy 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 his related associates.

''●''[[Thrandis Dale]]: Having met outside of the Quicksand, Thrandis approached Lili with the desire to have one of the freshly baked rolls she happened to have in a basket on her person. He followed her to the lane, where they fed some of the orphans and chatted. Since then they meet up now and again for pleasantries and conversation, with Lili recently agreeing to teach Thrandis how to read and write, which she never got to fulfill before his untimely demise.

''●''[[Titor Jaraba]]: An alchemist that Lili has seen around off and on through the work they both do helping those in Ul'dah with their regents and tonics. While not close, Lili has recently come to him about helping with research towards a cure for the illness her twin daughters share. The revelation of him sharing a similar condition has her feeling more at ease that he is going to assist, and plans to help him all she can.

''●''●[[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 interactions Lili has had with C'kayah had 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 from both of them. Things never fully recovered after that, and when finding out that Lili and C'kayah were still together, she resigned from the Society. Even after T'shina helped with the apprehension of Zaiaku, she can tell the girl still has sore feelings about the past. Even so, it hasn't made Lili regret any of her choices.

●[[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. His interaction with members of her Society did not help his case and now she more or less ignores his existance.

''●''[[Xydane Vale]]:A mysterious man Lili only met once in passing at the Botanist Guild. He was looking for a young woman ([[Clover Blake]]) and asked Lili to give her a bouquet of flowers should she ever find her. She ended up coming across him and Clover at random right in front of her house where the flowers were then delivered and food was given to them both. She finds him to be friendly enough, though a little sad.

●[[Zaiaku Kurai]]: Lili didn't think much of the man when they first met. But the moons worth of on again off again mind games and his attitude and actions against her son have made her positively hostile. It even led to a battle in which Zaiaku yielded and promised to leave Ado be. However, to this day she'd rather feed him to the dodos then look upon him longer then needed. This has only grown since he kidnapped her son Ado in exchange for her property and hand in marriage, though the little boy has since been returned safely to her and the marriage he desired never happened. Since then, she heard he's gone into hiding.

== 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 leaving the Society. While this happened, Lili remained firm in her decision to spend her future with the male. Life continued to change and though Lili and C'kayah eventually parted ways, she took the developments in stride and poured herself further into work. She then had moved Ado and herself into their company house with the hopes to one day get a home of their own.

In her pursuit of helping her employees who have also become her friends, Lili has done things she's not proud of. From keeping secrets to covering up misdeeds and misconduct, it's had the effect of loosening her sense of morals and made her more receptive to doing shadier dealings. Recently during a private ritual to save [[Kaohastraal Aeseroix]] from wasting away in decay, they acquired the body of a Garlean prisoner doomed for execution. Only after the ritual was complete when they removed his mask and robes did Lili see that it was none other then her supposedly deceased husband [[Ghislan Nightwing]]. While now possessing memories of both her friend and husband, it's left Lili in a very strange position both emotionally and legally. At the same time to add to the confusion, her relationship with [[Kaiten Skyborn]] dwindled and her connection to [[Locke Rinannis]] strengthened just as the Society made a move into a new house in the Lavender Beds.

The move to the Beds was smooth enough, with work picking up and more employees being gained while others have left (which is the way of things). Taking advantage of being well liked and her Society and social connections, Lili has obtained more jobs and allies then ever before. However, hopes of expanding added to her love of airships as slowly pulling her mind towards changes to be made within her precious company. During this time, Ado was kidnapped by [[Zaiaku Kurai]] during one of his regular visits to the Quicksand and it left Lili frantic. Desperate for help, she called upon C'kayah and even posted fliers in the local paper and around the city-states. While Ado was returned safely too her, Lili vowed to make the man pay and the small army she amassed eventually drove the male into hiding.

'''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 new company house in the Lavender Beds, 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 and friends. Now that she's situated in her new life, she has been caught improving her relations with others in her company that she's spent time with or has aided.

:-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! You can reach me in game or on Skype (Lili Hoppit!)!

=== 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 two years 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...

She has become the owner of a staffing company known as the Free Wing Society and adopted a little boy named Adokenai and a Keeper kit named Mikh'a. Recently she has eloped with her fiance, Locke!

'''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 ===

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 has since dyed it a darker blonde that she intends to keep permanent. Her eyes are very light green with a silvery cast to the color to give it an unique, 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 strength it takes to wield her axe and fist weapons, and sun kissed 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. She has a surprisingly emotional and sensitive side that only a handful of people have been able to witness.

== 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]]

=== Family ===

''●''●[[Ghislan Nightwing]]: 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 mourned her first and only true love. However, during a series of events to give Kao a new body they came across a Garlean named Velstraz who was used as Kao's new host body. After the metaphorical smoke cleared, it was revealed to actually have been Ghislan who now was of body and mind with Lili's friend and employee. She steps awkwardly around the Highlander, still in shock and unsure how to take the revelation.

''●''[[Adokenai Altair]]: 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.

''●''[[Mikh'a Altair]]: A little Keeper kit about one year of age, Lili adopted this little tyke and can sometimes be seen carrying him around. As a baby his interests are narrow, but he certainly seems to love new people!

''●''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 ===

''●''[[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, and still finds her charming enough.

''●''[[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 he has since left the Society.

●[[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 and months 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. Recently with the kidnapping of her adopted son [[Adokenai Altair]] she has turned her sights to her almost-husband for aid, which C'kayah has given.

''●''[[Clover Blake]]: One of the Society's neighbors that lives just up the hill, Lili met the young woman in passing via [[Xydane Vale]]. She hasn't seen her since, but her shyness was endearing.

''●''[[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 pleasant friendship.

''●''●[[Kagewoe Erasus]]: Fiance of Nymira's. 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 had the two walking on thin ice around one another, but things seemed to lead to a much more neutral standing before finally becoming more friendly before him and his fiance left to pursue work opportunities elsewhere.

''●''[[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 interactions with C'kayah and the Morbolvines, she's looked to the woman as a casual friend despite all of their differences and previous disputes. She was to C'kayah what Kaiten was to Lili during the time Lili and C'kayah were together. They are friends, and Lili has recently helped the woman by giving her advice and aid.

[[Kaiten Skyborn]]: If asked who this person is or about him, she'd blink at you and look utterly puzzled. "...Who?"

''●''[[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 admitted to having an interest in her, but she preferred to be friends over anything. After he joined the Free Wing Society, she began helping him with matters regarding his 'health', which led to a shocking turn of events...(See Family section above as "Ghislan Nightwing")

''●''[[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.

''●''[[Liandri Mei]]: One of Lili's employees and a spunky redheaded miqo'te who likes to drink. While dabbling in things Void related, Lili tries her best to protect the woman and her secrets from behind the scenes. They've grown friendlier with time, and have had moments of girl gossiping.

''●''[[Liliana Nazareth]]: A young mother who looks like Lili from bust size to hair color to profile and even eyes (save the color). While their similarities have gotten the two confused for one another in the past, the news of her 'death' has led Lili to trying to find answers when she can.

♥●[[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. The more time Lili has spent with him the more affectionate she had become, as well as trusting of him. He's shared many secrets with her, all of which she keeps to herself. Their relationship has gradually grown out of the public eye, but it doesn't seem to affect their business relationship. Now a days, they are openly affectionate with one another even around other people and Lili seems quite smitten with the younger blonde. Recently he has proposed and the two are now secretly married.

''●''[[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 back story to keep her eye on the girl when she's able to, and to try and guide harm out of her way.

''●''[[Nymira Valeroyant]]: Once a Society member, Nymira also helped Lili look after its affairs and members, though she hasn't seen or heard from the woman since her and Kage left to work else where.

''●''[[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 an easy 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 his related associates.

''●''[[Thrandis Dale]]: Having met outside of the Quicksand, Thrandis approached Lili with the desire to have one of the freshly baked rolls she happened to have in a basket on her person. He followed her to the lane, where they fed some of the orphans and chatted. Since then they meet up now and again for pleasantries and conversation, with Lili recently agreeing to teach Thrandis how to read and write, which she never got to fulfill before his untimely demise.

''●''[[Titor Jaraba]]: An alchemist that Lili has seen around off and on through the work they both do helping those in Ul'dah with their regents and tonics. While not close, Lili has recently come to him about helping with research towards a cure for the illness her twin daughters share. The revelation of him sharing a similar condition has her feeling more at ease that he is going to assist, and plans to help him all she can.

''●''●[[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 interactions Lili has had with C'kayah had 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 from both of them. Things never fully recovered after that, and when finding out that Lili and C'kayah were still together, she resigned from the Society. Even after T'shina helped with the apprehension of Zaiaku, she can tell the girl still has sore feelings about the past. Even so, it hasn't made Lili regret any of her choices.

●[[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. His interaction with members of her Society did not help his case and now she more or less ignores his existance.

''●''[[Xydane Vale]]:A mysterious man Lili only met once in passing at the Botanist Guild. He was looking for a young woman ([[Clover Blake]]) and asked Lili to give her a bouquet of flowers should she ever find her. She ended up coming across him and Clover at random right in front of her house where the flowers were then delivered and food was given to them both. She finds him to be friendly enough, though a little sad.

●[[Zaiaku Kurai]]: Lili didn't think much of the man when they first met. But the moons worth of on again off again mind games and his attitude and actions against her son have made her positively hostile. It even led to a battle in which Zaiaku yielded and promised to leave Ado be. However, to this day she'd rather feed him to the dodos then look upon him longer then needed. This has only grown since he kidnapped her son Ado in exchange for her property and hand in marriage, though the little boy has since been returned safely to her and the marriage he desired never happened. Since then, she heard he's gone into hiding.

== 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 leaving the Society. While this happened, Lili remained firm in her decision to spend her future with the male. Life continued to change and though Lili and C'kayah eventually parted ways, she took the developments in stride and poured herself further into work. She then had moved Ado and herself into their company house with the hopes to one day get a home of their own.

In her pursuit of helping her employees who have also become her friends, Lili has done things she's not proud of. From keeping secrets to covering up misdeeds and misconduct, it's had the effect of loosening her sense of morals and made her more receptive to doing shadier dealings. Recently during a private ritual to save [[Kaohastraal Aeseroix]] from wasting away in decay, they acquired the body of a Garlean prisoner doomed for execution. Only after the ritual was complete when they removed his mask and robes did Lili see that it was none other then her supposedly deceased husband [[Ghislan Nightwing]]. While now possessing memories of both her friend and husband, it's left Lili in a very strange position both emotionally and legally. At the same time to add to the confusion, her relationship with [[Kaiten Skyborn]] dwindled and her connection to [[Locke Rinannis]] strengthened just as the Society made a move into a new house in the Lavender Beds.

The move to the Beds was smooth enough, with work picking up and more employees being gained while others have left (which is the way of things). Taking advantage of being well liked and her Society and social connections, Lili has obtained more jobs and allies then ever before. However, hopes of expanding added to her love of airships as slowly pulling her mind towards changes to be made within her precious company. During this time, Ado was kidnapped by [[Zaiaku Kurai]] during one of his regular visits to the Quicksand and it left Lili frantic. Desperate for help, she called upon C'kayah and even posted fliers in the local paper and around the city-states. While Ado was returned safely too her, Lili vowed to make the man pay and the small army she amassed eventually drove the male into hiding.

'''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 new company house in the Lavender Beds, 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 and friends. Now that she's situated in her new life, she has been caught improving her relations with others in her company that she's spent time with or has aided.

=== 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 two years 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...

She has become the owner of a staffing company known as the Free Wing Society and adopted a little boy named Adokenai and a Keeper kit named Mikh'a. Recently she has eloped with her fiance, Locke!

'''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 ===

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 has since dyed it a darker blonde that she intends to keep permanent. Her eyes are very light green with a silvery cast to the color to give it an unique, 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 strength it takes to wield her axe and fist weapons, and sun kissed 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. She has a surprisingly emotional and sensitive side that only a handful of people have been able to witness.

== 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]]

While Lili used to be quite the socialite, she's taken to spending much of her time with her free company and family. Though she can be spotted out and about running errands, usually with Mikh'a on her hip or with her fiance, Locke.

=== Family ===

''●''●[[Ghislan Nightwing]]: 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 mourned her first and only true love. However, during a series of events to give Kao a new body they came across a Garlean named Velstraz who was used as Kao's new host body. After the metaphorical smoke cleared, it was revealed to actually have been Ghislan who now was of body and mind with Lili's friend and employee. She steps awkwardly around the Highlander, still in shock and unsure how to take the revelation.

''●''[[Adokenai Altair]]: 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.

''●''[[Mikh'a Altair]]: A little Keeper kit about one year of age, Lili adopted this little tyke and can sometimes be seen carrying him around. As a baby his interests are narrow, but he certainly seems to love new people!

''●''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. 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.

''●''[[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, and still finds her charming enough.

''●''[[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 he has since left the Society.

●[[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 and months 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. Recently with the kidnapping of her adopted son [[Adokenai Altair]] she has turned her sights to her almost-husband for aid, which C'kayah has given.

''●''[[Clover Blake]]: One of the Society's neighbors that lives just up the hill, Lili met the young woman in passing via [[Xydane Vale]]. She hasn't seen her since, but her shyness was endearing.

''●''[[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 pleasant friendship.

''●''●[[Kagewoe Erasus]]: Fiance of Nymira's. 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 had the two walking on thin ice around one another, but things seemed to lead to a much more neutral standing before finally becoming more friendly before him and his fiance left to pursue work opportunities elsewhere.

''●''[[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 interactions with C'kayah and the Morbolvines, she's looked to the woman as a casual friend despite all of their differences and previous disputes. She was to C'kayah what Kaiten was to Lili during the time Lili and C'kayah were together. They are friends, and Lili has recently helped the woman by giving her advice and aid.

[[Kaiten Skyborn]]: If asked who this person is or about him, she'd blink at you and look utterly puzzled. "...Who?"

''●''[[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 admitted to having an interest in her, but she preferred to be friends over anything. After he joined the Free Wing Society, she began helping him with matters regarding his 'health', which led to a shocking turn of events...(See Family section above as "Ghislan Nightwing")

''●''[[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.

''●''[[Liandri Mei]]: One of Lili's employees and a spunky redheaded miqo'te who likes to drink. While dabbling in things Void related, Lili tries her best to protect the woman and her secrets from behind the scenes. They've grown friendlier with time, and have had moments of girl gossiping.

''●''[[Liliana Nazareth]]: A young mother who looks like Lili from bust size to hair color to profile and even eyes (save the color). While their similarities have gotten the two confused for one another in the past, the news of her 'death' has led Lili to trying to find answers when she can.

♥●[[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. The more time Lili has spent with him the more affectionate she had become, as well as trusting of him. He's shared many secrets with her, all of which she keeps to herself. Their relationship has gradually grown out of the public eye, but it doesn't seem to affect their business relationship. Now a days, they are openly affectionate with one another even around other people and Lili seems quite smitten with the younger blonde. Recently he has proposed and the two are now secretly married.

''●''[[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 back story to keep her eye on the girl when she's able to, and to try and guide harm out of her way.

''●''[[Nymira Valeroyant]]: Once a Society member, Nymira also helped Lili look after its affairs and members, though she hasn't seen or heard from the woman since her and Kage left to work else where.

''●''[[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 an easy 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 his related associates.

''●''[[Thrandis Dale]]: Having met outside of the Quicksand, Thrandis approached Lili with the desire to have one of the freshly baked rolls she happened to have in a basket on her person. He followed her to the lane, where they fed some of the orphans and chatted. Since then they meet up now and again for pleasantries and conversation, with Lili recently agreeing to teach Thrandis how to read and write, which she never got to fulfill before his untimely demise.

''●''[[Titor Jaraba]]: An alchemist that Lili has seen around off and on through the work they both do helping those in Ul'dah with their regents and tonics. While not close, Lili has recently come to him about helping with research towards a cure for the illness her twin daughters share. The revelation of him sharing a similar condition has her feeling more at ease that he is going to assist, and plans to help him all she can.

''●''●[[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 interactions Lili has had with C'kayah had 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 from both of them. Things never fully recovered after that, and when finding out that Lili and C'kayah were still together, she resigned from the Society. Even after T'shina helped with the apprehension of Zaiaku, she can tell the girl still has sore feelings about the past. Even so, it hasn't made Lili regret any of her choices.

●[[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. His interaction with members of her Society did not help his case and now she more or less ignores his existance.

''●''[[Xydane Vale]]:A mysterious man Lili only met once in passing at the Botanist Guild. He was looking for a young woman ([[Clover Blake]]) and asked Lili to give her a bouquet of flowers should she ever find her. She ended up coming across him and Clover at random right in front of her house where the flowers were then delivered and food was given to them both. She finds him to be friendly enough, though a little sad.

●[[Zaiaku Kurai]]: Lili didn't think much of the man when they first met. But the moons worth of on again off again mind games and his attitude and actions against her son have made her positively hostile. It even led to a battle in which Zaiaku yielded and promised to leave Ado be. However, to this day she'd rather feed him to the dodos then look upon him longer then needed. This has only grown since he kidnapped her son Ado in exchange for her property and hand in marriage, though the little boy has since been returned safely to her and the marriage he desired never happened. Since then, she heard he's gone into hiding.

== 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 leaving the Society. While this happened, Lili remained firm in her decision to spend her future with the male. Life continued to change and though Lili and C'kayah eventually parted ways, she took the developments in stride and poured herself further into work. She then had moved Ado and herself into their company house with the hopes to one day get a home of their own.

In her pursuit of helping her employees who have also become her friends, Lili has done things she's not proud of. From keeping secrets to covering up misdeeds and misconduct, it's had the effect of loosening her sense of morals and made her more receptive to doing shadier dealings. Recently during a private ritual to save [[Kaohastraal Aeseroix]] from wasting away in decay, they acquired the body of a Garlean prisoner doomed for execution. Only after the ritual was complete when they removed his mask and robes did Lili see that it was none other then her supposedly deceased husband [[Ghislan Nightwing]]. While now possessing memories of both her friend and husband, it's left Lili in a very strange position both emotionally and legally. At the same time to add to the confusion, her relationship with [[Kaiten Skyborn]] dwindled and her connection to [[Locke Rinannis]] strengthened just as the Society made a move into a new house in the Lavender Beds.

The move to the Beds was smooth enough, with work picking up and more employees being gained while others have left (which is the way of things). Taking advantage of being well liked and her Society and social connections, Lili has obtained more jobs and allies then ever before. However, hopes of expanding added to her love of airships as slowly pulling her mind towards changes to be made within her precious company. During this time, Ado was kidnapped by [[Zaiaku Kurai]] during one of his regular visits to the Quicksand and it left Lili frantic. Desperate for help, she called upon C'kayah and even posted fliers in the local paper and around the city-states. While Ado was returned safely too her, Lili vowed to make the man pay and the small army she amassed eventually drove the male into hiding.

'''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 new company house in the Lavender Beds, 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 and friends. Now that she's situated in her new life, she has been caught improving her relations with others in her company that she's spent time with or has aided.

:-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! You can reach me in game or on Skype (Lili Hoppit!)! 
:-I'm very big on OOC communication to help organize RP or to solve problems. Seriously, if ever you have an issue with something in regards to the RP, shoot me a tell. I want people to enjoy RP with me as much as possible. :)

=== 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 two years 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...

She has become the owner of a staffing company known as the Free Wing Society and adopted a little boy named Adokenai and a Keeper kit named Mikh'a. Recently she has become engaged!

'''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 ===

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 has since dyed it a darker blonde that she intends to keep permanent. Her eyes are very light green with a silvery cast to the color to give it an unique, 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 strength it takes to wield her axe and fist weapons, and sun kissed 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. She has a surprisingly emotional and sensitive side that only a handful of people have been able to witness.

== 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]]

=== Family ===

''●''●[[Ghislan Nightwing]]: 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 mourned her first and only true love. However, during a series of events to give Kao a new body they came across a Garlean named Velstraz who was used as Kao's new host body. After the metaphorical smoke cleared, it was revealed to actually have been Ghislan who now was of body and mind with Lili's friend and employee. She steps awkwardly around the Highlander, still in shock and unsure how to take the revelation.

''●''[[Adokenai Altair]]: 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.

''●''[[Mikh'a Altair]]: A little Keeper kit about one year of age, Lili adopted this little tyke and can sometimes be seen carrying him around. As a baby his interests are narrow, but he certainly seems to love new people!

''●''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 ===

''●''[[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, and still finds her charming enough.

''●''[[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 he has since left the Society.

●[[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 and months 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. Recently with the kidnapping of her adopted son [[Adokenai Altair]] she has turned her sights to her almost-husband for aid, which C'kayah has given.

''●''[[Clover Blake]]: One of the Society's neighbors that lives just up the hill, Lili met the young woman in passing via [[Xydane Vale]]. She hasn't seen her since, but her shyness was endearing.

''●''[[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 pleasant friendship.

''●''●[[Kagewoe Erasus]]: Fiance of Nymira's. 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 had the two walking on thin ice around one another, but things seemed to lead to a much more neutral standing before finally becoming more friendly before him and his fiance left to pursue work opportunities elsewhere.

''●''[[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 interactions with C'kayah and the Morbolvines, she's looked to the woman as a casual friend despite all of their differences and previous disputes. She was to C'kayah what Kaiten was to Lili during the time Lili and C'kayah were together. They are friends, and Lili has recently helped the woman by giving her advice and aid.

[[Kaiten Skyborn]]: If asked who this person is or about him, she'd blink at you and look utterly puzzled. "...Who?"

''●''[[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 admitted to having an interest in her, but she preferred to be friends over anything. After he joined the Free Wing Society, she began helping him with matters regarding his 'health', which led to a shocking turn of events...(See Family section above as "Ghislan Nightwing")

''●''[[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.

''●''[[Liandri Mei]]: One of Lili's employees and a spunky redheaded miqo'te who likes to drink. While dabbling in things Void related, Lili tries her best to protect the woman and her secrets from behind the scenes. They've grown friendlier with time, and have had moments of girl gossiping.

''●''[[Liliana Nazareth]]: A young mother who looks like Lili from bust size to hair color to profile and even eyes (save the color). While their similarities have gotten the two confused for one another in the past, the news of her 'death' has led Lili to trying to find answers when she can.

♥●[[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. The more time Lili has spent with him the more affectionate she had become, as well as trusting of him. He's shared many secrets with her, all of which she keeps to herself. Their relationship has gradually grown out of the public eye, but it doesn't seem to affect their business relationship. Now a days, they are openly affectionate with one another even around other people and Lili seems quite smitten with the younger blonde. Recently he has proposed and the two are now engaged.

''●''[[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 back story to keep her eye on the girl when she's able to, and to try and guide harm out of her way.

''●''[[Nymira Valeroyant]]: Once a Society member, Nymira also helped Lili look after its affairs and members, though she hasn't seen or heard from the woman since her and Kage left to work else where.

''●''[[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 an easy 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 his related associates.

''●''[[Thrandis Dale]]: Having met outside of the Quicksand, Thrandis approached Lili with the desire to have one of the freshly baked rolls she happened to have in a basket on her person. He followed her to the lane, where they fed some of the orphans and chatted. Since then they meet up now and again for pleasantries and conversation, with Lili recently agreeing to teach Thrandis how to read and write, which she never got to fulfill before his untimely demise.

''●''[[Titor Jaraba]]: An alchemist that Lili has seen around off and on through the work they both do helping those in Ul'dah with their regents and tonics. While not close, Lili has recently come to him about helping with research towards a cure for the illness her twin daughters share. The revelation of him sharing a similar condition has her feeling more at ease that he is going to assist, and plans to help him all she can.

''●''●[[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 interactions Lili has had with C'kayah had 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 from both of them. Things never fully recovered after that, and when finding out that Lili and C'kayah were still together, she resigned from the Society. Even after T'shina helped with the apprehension of Zaiaku, she can tell the girl still has sore feelings about the past. Even so, it hasn't made Lili regret any of her choices.

●[[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. His interaction with members of her Society did not help his case and now she more or less ignores his existance.

''●''[[Xydane Vale]]:A mysterious man Lili only met once in passing at the Botanist Guild. He was looking for a young woman ([[Clover Blake]]) and asked Lili to give her a bouquet of flowers should she ever find her. She ended up coming across him and Clover at random right in front of her house where the flowers were then delivered and food was given to them both. She finds him to be friendly enough, though a little sad.

●[[Zaiaku Kurai]]: Lili didn't think much of the man when they first met. But the moons worth of on again off again mind games and his attitude and actions against her son have made her positively hostile. It even led to a battle in which Zaiaku yielded and promised to leave Ado be. However, to this day she'd rather feed him to the dodos then look upon him longer then needed. This has only grown since he kidnapped her son Ado in exchange for her property and hand in marriage, though the little boy has since been returned safely to her and the marriage he desired never happened. Since then, she heard he's gone into hiding.

== 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 leaving the Society. While this happened, Lili remained firm in her decision to spend her future with the male. Life continued to change and though Lili and C'kayah eventually parted ways, she took the developments in stride and poured herself further into work. She then had moved Ado and herself into their company house with the hopes to one day get a home of their own.

In her pursuit of helping her employees who have also become her friends, Lili has done things she's not proud of. From keeping secrets to covering up misdeeds and misconduct, it's had the effect of loosening her sense of morals and made her more receptive to doing shadier dealings. Recently during a private ritual to save [[Kaohastraal Aeseroix]] from wasting away in decay, they acquired the body of a Garlean prisoner doomed for execution. Only after the ritual was complete when they removed his mask and robes did Lili see that it was none other then her supposedly deceased husband [[Ghislan Nightwing]]. While now possessing memories of both her friend and husband, it's left Lili in a very strange position both emotionally and legally. At the same time to add to the confusion, her relationship with [[Kaiten Skyborn]] dwindled and her connection to [[Locke Rinannis]] strengthened just as the Society made a move into a new house in the Lavender Beds.

The move to the Beds was smooth enough, with work picking up and more employees being gained while others have left (which is the way of things). Taking advantage of being well liked and her Society and social connections, Lili has obtained more jobs and allies then ever before. However, hopes of expanding added to her love of airships as slowly pulling her mind towards changes to be made within her precious company. During this time, Ado was kidnapped by [[Zaiaku Kurai]] during one of his regular visits to the Quicksand and it left Lili frantic. Desperate for help, she called upon C'kayah and even posted fliers in the local paper and around the city-states. While Ado was returned safely too her, Lili vowed to make the man pay and the small army she amassed eventually drove the male into hiding.

'''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 new company house in the Lavender Beds, 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 and friends. Now that she's situated in her new life, she has been caught improving her relations with others in her company that she's spent time with or has aided.

:- 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! You can reach me in game or on Skype (Lili Hoppit!)! 
:-I'm very big on OOC communication to help organize RP or to solve problems. Seriously, if ever you have an issue with something in regards to the RP, shoot me a tell. I want people to enjoy RP with me as much as possible. :)

Apathetic. Sarcastic. Calm. Quiet. Reserved. Protective. Not many words describe Xelra since she's silent or nearly silent most of the time. But those that do sometimes contradict one another. Her normal response to questions and inquiries seems to be her trademark 'Hn, and this seems to frustrate some of those around her. Or make them want to get closer. The most she'll show emotion is if someone touches her or when her sister is around, to whom she only shows quiet affection and respect.

AppearanceHeight: Taller then average. 
Weight: 130 lbs. 
Hair: Dusty starlight. 
Eyes: Obsidian 
Distinguishing Marks: Black teardrop on her forehead. [http://mediamilitia.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/s28.jpg Her face is badly burned.]. Tattoo of Menphina's symbol on the back of her neck. Other tattoos on her form as well (though not visible to the public eye).
 
Standing at taller then average in female miqo'te height, from the top of her head to the tip of her toes Xelra would have once been considered very attractive. Her burns, however, have distracted from that. Her hair, naturally the color of silver and stars, has been dyed so as to better conceal her identity. Both as herself, Ezhara's sister, and as a member of her coveted family clan. Her ears are fluffier then usual, though the extra fine hairs help her hear better then other Keepers and Seekers. Her eyes are large and round, though unsettling with such dark irises.

=== 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 two years 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...

She has become the owner of a staffing company known as the Free Wing Society and adopted a little boy named Adokenai and a Keeper kit named Mikh'a. Recently she has become engaged!

'''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 ===

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 has since dyed it a darker blonde that she intends to keep permanent. Her eyes are very light green with a silvery cast to the color to give it an unique, 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 strength it takes to wield her axe and fist weapons, and sun kissed 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. She has a surprisingly emotional and sensitive side that only a handful of people have been able to witness.

== 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.

</center> 

=== Family ===

''●''●[[Ghislan Nightwing]]: 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 mourned her first and only true love. However, during a series of events to give Kao a new body they came across a Garlean named Velstraz who was used as Kao's new host body. After the metaphorical smoke cleared, it was revealed to actually have been Ghislan who now was of body and mind with Lili's friend and employee. She steps awkwardly around the Highlander, still in shock and unsure how to take the revelation.

''●''[[Adokenai Altair]]: 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.

''●''[[Mikh'a Altair]]: A little Keeper kit about one year of age, Lili adopted this little tyke and can sometimes be seen carrying him around. As a baby his interests are narrow, but he certainly seems to love new people!

''●''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 ===

''●''[[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, and still finds her charming enough.

''●''[[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 he has since left the Society.

●[[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 and months 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. Recently with the kidnapping of her adopted son [[Adokenai Altair]] she has turned her sights to her almost-husband for aid, which C'kayah has given.

''●''[[Clover Blake]]: One of the Society's neighbors that lives just up the hill, Lili met the young woman in passing via [[Xydane Vale]]. She hasn't seen her since, but her shyness was endearing.

''●''[[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 pleasant friendship.

''●''●[[Kagewoe Erasus]]: Fiance of Nymira's. 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 had the two walking on thin ice around one another, but things seemed to lead to a much more neutral standing before finally becoming more friendly before him and his fiance left to pursue work opportunities elsewhere.

''●''[[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 interactions with C'kayah and the Morbolvines, she's looked to the woman as a casual friend despite all of their differences and previous disputes. She was to C'kayah what Kaiten was to Lili during the time Lili and C'kayah were together. They are friends, and Lili has recently helped the woman by giving her advice and aid.

[[Kaiten Skyborn]]: If asked who this person is or about him, she'd blink at you and look utterly puzzled. "...Who?"

''●''[[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 admitted to having an interest in her, but she preferred to be friends over anything. After he joined the Free Wing Society, she began helping him with matters regarding his 'health', which led to a shocking turn of events...(See Family section above as "Ghislan Nightwing")

''●''[[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.

''●''[[Liandri Mei]]: One of Lili's employees and a spunky redheaded miqo'te who likes to drink. While dabbling in things Void related, Lili tries her best to protect the woman and her secrets from behind the scenes. They've grown friendlier with time, and have had moments of girl gossiping.

''●''[[Liliana Nazareth]]: A young mother who looks like Lili from bust size to hair color to profile and even eyes (save the color). While their similarities have gotten the two confused for one another in the past, the news of her 'death' has led Lili to trying to find answers when she can.

♥●[[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. The more time Lili has spent with him the more affectionate she had become, as well as trusting of him. He's shared many secrets with her, all of which she keeps to herself. Their relationship has gradually grown out of the public eye, but it doesn't seem to affect their business relationship. Now a days, they are openly affectionate with one another even around other people and Lili seems quite smitten with the younger blonde. Recently he has proposed and the two are now engaged.

''●''[[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 back story to keep her eye on the girl when she's able to, and to try and guide harm out of her way.

''●''[[Nymira Valeroyant]]: Once a Society member, Nymira also helped Lili look after its affairs and members, though she hasn't seen or heard from the woman since her and Kage left to work else where.

''●''[[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 an easy 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 his related associates.

''●''[[Thrandis Dale]]: Having met outside of the Quicksand, Thrandis approached Lili with the desire to have one of the freshly baked rolls she happened to have in a basket on her person. He followed her to the lane, where they fed some of the orphans and chatted. Since then they meet up now and again for pleasantries and conversation, with Lili recently agreeing to teach Thrandis how to read and write, which she never got to fulfill before his untimely demise.

''●''[[Titor Jaraba]]: An alchemist that Lili has seen around off and on through the work they both do helping those in Ul'dah with their regents and tonics. While not close, Lili has recently come to him about helping with research towards a cure for the illness her twin daughters share. The revelation of him sharing a similar condition has her feeling more at ease that he is going to assist, and plans to help him all she can.

''●''●[[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 interactions Lili has had with C'kayah had 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 from both of them. Things never fully recovered after that, and when finding out that Lili and C'kayah were still together, she resigned from the Society. Even after T'shina helped with the apprehension of Zaiaku, she can tell the girl still has sore feelings about the past. Even so, it hasn't made Lili regret any of her choices.

●[[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. His interaction with members of her Society did not help his case and now she more or less ignores his existance.

''●''[[Xydane Vale]]:A mysterious man Lili only met once in passing at the Botanist Guild. He was looking for a young woman ([[Clover Blake]]) and asked Lili to give her a bouquet of flowers should she ever find her. She ended up coming across him and Clover at random right in front of her house where the flowers were then delivered and food was given to them both. She finds him to be friendly enough, though a little sad.

●[[Zaiaku Kurai]]: Lili didn't think much of the man when they first met. But the moons worth of on again off again mind games and his attitude and actions against her son have made her positively hostile. It even led to a battle in which Zaiaku yielded and promised to leave Ado be. However, to this day she'd rather feed him to the dodos then look upon him longer then needed. This has only grown since he kidnapped her son Ado in exchange for her property and hand in marriage, though the little boy has since been returned safely to her and the marriage he desired never happened. Since then, she heard he's gone into hiding.

== 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 leaving the Society. While this happened, Lili remained firm in her decision to spend her future with the male. Life continued to change and though Lili and C'kayah eventually parted ways, she took the developments in stride and poured herself further into work. She then had moved Ado and herself into their company house with the hopes to one day get a home of their own.

In her pursuit of helping her employees who have also become her friends, Lili has done things she's not proud of. From keeping secrets to covering up misdeeds and misconduct, it's had the effect of loosening her sense of morals and made her more receptive to doing shadier dealings. Recently during a private ritual to save [[Kaohastraal Aeseroix]] from wasting away in decay, they acquired the body of a Garlean prisoner doomed for execution. Only after the ritual was complete when they removed his mask and robes did Lili see that it was none other then her supposedly deceased husband [[Ghislan Nightwing]]. While now possessing memories of both her friend and husband, it's left Lili in a very strange position both emotionally and legally. At the same time to add to the confusion, her relationship with [[Kaiten Skyborn]] dwindled and her connection to [[Locke Rinannis]] strengthened just as the Society made a move into a new house in the Lavender Beds.

The move to the Beds was smooth enough, with work picking up and more employees being gained while others have left (which is the way of things). Taking advantage of being well liked and her Society and social connections, Lili has obtained more jobs and allies then ever before. However, hopes of expanding added to her love of airships as slowly pulling her mind towards changes to be made within her precious company. During this time, Ado was kidnapped by [[Zaiaku Kurai]] during one of his regular visits to the Quicksand and it left Lili frantic. Desperate for help, she called upon C'kayah and even posted fliers in the local paper and around the city-states. While Ado was returned safely too her, Lili vowed to make the man pay and the small army she amassed eventually drove the male into hiding.

'''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 new company house in the Lavender Beds, 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 and friends. Now that she's situated in her new life, she has been caught improving her relations with others in her company that she's spent time with or has aided.

=== 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 two years 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...

She has become the owner of a staffing company known as the Free Wing Society and adopted a little boy named Adokenai and a Keeper kit named Mikh'a. Recently she has become engaged!

'''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 ===

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 has since dyed it a darker blonde that she intends to keep permanent. Her eyes are very light green with a silvery cast to the color to give it an unique, 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 strength it takes to wield her axe and fist weapons, and sun kissed 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. She has a surprisingly emotional and sensitive side that only a handful of people have been able to witness.

== 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]]: 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 mourned her first and only true love. However, during a series of events to give Kao a new body they came across a Garlean named Velstraz who was used as Kao's new host body. After the metaphorical smoke cleared, it was revealed to actually have been Ghislan who now was of body and mind with Lili's friend and employee. She steps awkwardly around the Highlander, still in shock and unsure how to take the revelation.

''●''[[Adokenai Altair]]: 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.

''●''[[Mikh'a Altair]]: A little Keeper kit about one year of age, Lili adopted this little tyke and can sometimes be seen carrying him around. As a baby his interests are narrow, but he certainly seems to love new people!

''●''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 ===

''●''[[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, and still finds her charming enough.

''●''[[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 he has since left the Society.

●[[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 and months 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. Recently with the kidnapping of her adopted son [[Adokenai Altair]] she has turned her sights to her almost-husband for aid, which C'kayah has given.

''●''[[Clover Blake]]: One of the Society's neighbors that lives just up the hill, Lili met the young woman in passing via [[Xydane Vale]]. She hasn't seen her since, but her shyness was endearing.

''●''[[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 pleasant friendship.

''●''●[[Kagewoe Erasus]]: Fiance of Nymira's. 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 had the two walking on thin ice around one another, but things seemed to lead to a much more neutral standing before finally becoming more friendly before him and his fiance left to pursue work opportunities elsewhere.

''●''[[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 interactions with C'kayah and the Morbolvines, she's looked to the woman as a casual friend despite all of their differences and previous disputes. She was to C'kayah what Kaiten was to Lili during the time Lili and C'kayah were together. They are friends, and Lili has recently helped the woman by giving her advice and aid.

[[Kaiten Skyborn]]: If asked who this person is or about him, she'd blink at you and look utterly puzzled. "...Who?"

''●''[[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 admitted to having an interest in her, but she preferred to be friends over anything. After he joined the Free Wing Society, she began helping him with matters regarding his 'health', which led to a shocking turn of events...(See Family section above as "Ghislan Nightwing")

''●''[[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.

''●''[[Liandri Mei]]: One of Lili's employees and a spunky redheaded miqo'te who likes to drink. While dabbling in things Void related, Lili tries her best to protect the woman and her secrets from behind the scenes. They've grown friendlier with time, and have had moments of girl gossiping.

''●''[[Liliana Nazareth]]: A young mother who looks like Lili from bust size to hair color to profile and even eyes (save the color). While their similarities have gotten the two confused for one another in the past, the news of her 'death' has led Lili to trying to find answers when she can.

♥●[[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. The more time Lili has spent with him the more affectionate she had become, as well as trusting of him. He's shared many secrets with her, all of which she keeps to herself. Their relationship has gradually grown out of the public eye, but it doesn't seem to affect their business relationship. Now a days, they are openly affectionate with one another even around other people and Lili seems quite smitten with the younger blonde. Recently he has proposed and the two are now engaged.

''●''[[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 back story to keep her eye on the girl when she's able to, and to try and guide harm out of her way.

''●''[[Nymira Valeroyant]]: Once a Society member, Nymira also helped Lili look after its affairs and members, though she hasn't seen or heard from the woman since her and Kage left to work else where.

''●''[[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 an easy 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 his related associates.

''●''[[Thrandis Dale]]: Having met outside of the Quicksand, Thrandis approached Lili with the desire to have one of the freshly baked rolls she happened to have in a basket on her person. He followed her to the lane, where they fed some of the orphans and chatted. Since then they meet up now and again for pleasantries and conversation, with Lili recently agreeing to teach Thrandis how to read and write, which she never got to fulfill before his untimely demise.

''●''[[Titor Jaraba]]: An alchemist that Lili has seen around off and on through the work they both do helping those in Ul'dah with their regents and tonics. While not close, Lili has recently come to him about helping with research towards a cure for the illness her twin daughters share. The revelation of him sharing a similar condition has her feeling more at ease that he is going to assist, and plans to help him all she can.

''●''●[[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 interactions Lili has had with C'kayah had 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 from both of them. Things never fully recovered after that, and when finding out that Lili and C'kayah were still together, she resigned from the Society. Even after T'shina helped with the apprehension of Zaiaku, she can tell the girl still has sore feelings about the past. Even so, it hasn't made Lili regret any of her choices.

●[[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. His interaction with members of her Society did not help his case and now she more or less ignores his existance.

''●''[[Xydane Vale]]:A mysterious man Lili only met once in passing at the Botanist Guild. He was looking for a young woman ([[Clover Blake]]) and asked Lili to give her a bouquet of flowers should she ever find her. She ended up coming across him and Clover at random right in front of her house where the flowers were then delivered and food was given to them both. She finds him to be friendly enough, though a little sad.

●[[Zaiaku Kurai]]: Lili didn't think much of the man when they first met. But the moons worth of on again off again mind games and his attitude and actions against her son have made her positively hostile. It even led to a battle in which Zaiaku yielded and promised to leave Ado be. However, to this day she'd rather feed him to the dodos then look upon him longer then needed. This has only grown since he kidnapped her son Ado in exchange for her property and hand in marriage, though the little boy has since been returned safely to her and the marriage he desired never happened. Since then, she heard he's gone into hiding.

== 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 leaving the Society. While this happened, Lili remained firm in her decision to spend her future with the male. Life continued to change and though Lili and C'kayah eventually parted ways, she took the developments in stride and poured herself further into work. She then had moved Ado and herself into their company house with the hopes to one day get a home of their own.

In her pursuit of helping her employees who have also become her friends, Lili has done things she's not proud of. From keeping secrets to covering up misdeeds and misconduct, it's had the effect of loosening her sense of morals and made her more receptive to doing shadier dealings. Recently during a private ritual to save [[Kaohastraal Aeseroix]] from wasting away in decay, they acquired the body of a Garlean prisoner doomed for execution. Only after the ritual was complete when they removed his mask and robes did Lili see that it was none other then her supposedly deceased husband [[Ghislan Nightwing]]. While now possessing memories of both her friend and husband, it's left Lili in a very strange position both emotionally and legally. At the same time to add to the confusion, her relationship with [[Kaiten Skyborn]] has dwindled and her connection to [[Locke Rinannis]] has strengthened just as the Society made a move into a new house in the Lavender Beds!

'''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 new company house in the Lavender Beds, 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 and friends. Now that she's situated in her new life, she has been caught improving her relations with others in her company that she's spent time with or has aided.

=== 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 two years 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...

She has become the owner of a staffing company known as the Free Wing Society and adopted a little boy named Adokenai and a Keeper kit named Mikh'a. Recently she has become engaged!

'''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 ===

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 has since dyed it a darker blonde that she intends to keep permanent. Her eyes are very light green with a silvery cast to the color to give it an unique, 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 strength it takes to wield her axe and fist weapons, and sun kissed 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. She has a surprisingly emotional and sensitive side that only a handful of people have been able to witness.

== 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]]: 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 mourned her first and only true love. However, during a series of events to give Kao a new body they came across a Garlean named Velstraz who was used as Kao's new host body. After the metaphorical smoke cleared, it was revealed to actually have been Ghislan who now was of body and mind with Lili's friend and employee. She steps awkwardly around the Highlander, still in shock and unsure how to take the revelation.

''●''[[Adokenai Altair]]: 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.

''●''[[Mikh'a Altair]]: A little Keeper kit about one year of age, Lili adopted this little tyke and can sometimes be seen carrying him around. As a baby his interests are narrow, but he certainly seems to love new people!

''●''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 ===

''●''[[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, and still finds her charming enough.

''●''[[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 he has since left the Society.

●[[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 and months 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. Recently with the kidnapping of her adopted son [[Adokenai Altair]] she has turned her sights to her almost-husband for aid, which C'kayah has given.

''●''[[Clover Blake]]: One of the Society's neighbors that lives just up the hill, Lili met the young woman in passing via [[Xydane Vale]]. She hasn't seen her since, but her shyness was endearing.

''●''[[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 pleasant friendship.

''●''●[[Kagewoe Erasus]]: Fiance of Nymira's. 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 had the two walking on thin ice around one another, but things seemed to lead to a much more neutral standing before finally becoming more friendly before him and his fiance left to pursue work opportunities elsewhere.

''●''[[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 interactions with C'kayah and the Morbolvines, she's looked to the woman as a casual friend despite all of their differences and previous disputes. She was to C'kayah what Kaiten was to Lili, and during a walk through the Mists Lili found a placard claiming to be Kenthy and C'kayah's house and it caused an odd assortment of mixed feelings in her. She's avoided seeing her as a product of the discovery, at least for now.

[[Kaiten Skyborn]]: If asked who this person is or about him, she'd blink at you and look utterly puzzled. "...Who?"

''●''[[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 admitted to having an interest in her, but she preferred to be friends over anything. After he joined the Free Wing Society, she began helping him with matters regarding his 'health', which led to a shocking turn of events...(See Family section above as "Ghislan Nightwing")

''●''[[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.

''●''[[Liandri Mei]]: One of Lili's employees and a spunky redheaded miqo'te who likes to drink. While dabbling in things Void related, Lili tries her best to protect the woman and her secrets from behind the scenes.

''●''[[Liliana Nazareth]]: A young mother who looks like Lili from bust size to hair color to profile and even eyes (save the color). While their similarities have gotten the two confused for one another in the past, the news of her 'death' has led Lili to trying to find answers when she can.

♥●[[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. The more time Lili has spent with him the more affectionate she had become, as well as trusting of him. He's shared many secrets with her, all of which she keeps to herself. Their relationship has gradually grown out of the public eye, but it doesn't seem to affect their business relationship. Now a days, they are openly affectionate with one another even around other people and Lili seems quite smitten with the younger blonde. Recently he has proposed and the two are now engaged.

''●''[[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 back story to keep her eye on the girl when she's able to, and to try and guide harm out of her way.

''●''[[Nymira Valeroyant]]: Once a Society member, Nymira also helped Lili look after its affairs and members, though she hasn't seen or heard from the woman since her and Kage left to work else where.

''●''[[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 an easy 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 his related associates.

''●''[[Thrandis Dale]]: Having met outside of the Quicksand, Thrandis approached Lili with the desire to have one of the freshly baked rolls she happened to have in a basket on her person. He followed her to the lane, where they fed some of the orphans and chatted. Since then they meet up now and again for pleasantries and conversation, with Lili recently agreeing to teach Thrandis how to read and write, which she never got to fulfill before his untimely demise.

''●''[[Titor Jaraba]]: An alchemist that Lili has seen around off and on through the work they both do helping those in Ul'dah with their regents and tonics. While not close, Lili has recently come to him about helping with research towards a cure for the illness her twin daughters share. The revelation of him sharing a similar condition has her feeling more at ease that he is going to assist, and plans to help him all she can.

''●''●[[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 interactions Lili has had with C'kayah had 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 from both of them. Things never fully recovered after that, and when finding out that Lili and C'kayah were still together, she resigned from the Society. Even after T'shina helped with the apprehension of Zaiaku, she can tell the girl still has sore feelings about the past. Even so, it hasn't made Lili regret any of her choices.

●[[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. His interaction with members of her Society did not help his case and now she more or less ignores his existance.

''●''[[Xydane Vale]]:A mysterious man Lili only met once in passing at the Botanist Guild. He was looking for a young woman ([[Clover Blake]]) and asked Lili to give her a bouquet of flowers should she ever find her. She ended up coming across him and Clover at random right in front of her house where the flowers were then delivered and food was given to them both. She finds him to be friendly enough, though a little sad.

●[[Zaiaku Kurai]]: Lili didn't think much of the man when they first met. But the moons worth of on again off again mind games and his attitude and actions against her son have made her positively hostile. It even led to a battle in which Zaiaku yielded and promised to leave Ado be. However, to this day she'd rather feed him to the dodos then look upon him longer then needed. This has only grown since he kidnapped her son Ado in exchange for her property and hand in marriage, though the little boy has since been returned safely to her and the marriage he desired never happened. Since then, she heard he's gone into hiding.

== 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 leaving the Society. While this happened, Lili remained firm in her decision to spend her future with the male. Life continued to change and though Lili and C'kayah eventually parted ways, she took the developments in stride and poured herself further into work. She then had moved Ado and herself into their company house with the hopes to one day get a home of their own.

In her pursuit of helping her employees who have also become her friends, Lili has done things she's not proud of. From keeping secrets to covering up misdeeds and misconduct, it's had the effect of loosening her sense of morals and made her more receptive to doing shadier dealings. Recently during a private ritual to save [[Kaohastraal Aeseroix]] from wasting away in decay, they acquired the body of a Garlean prisoner doomed for execution. Only after the ritual was complete when they removed his mask and robes did Lili see that it was none other then her supposedly deceased husband [[Ghislan Nightwing]]. While now possessing memories of both her friend and husband, it's left Lili in a very strange position both emotionally and legally. At the same time to add to the confusion, her relationship with [[Kaiten Skyborn]] has dwindled and her connection to [[Locke Rinannis]] has strengthened just as the Society made a move into a new house in the Lavender Beds!

'''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 new company house in the Lavender Beds, 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 and friends. Now that she's situated in her new life, she has been caught improving her relations with others in her company that she's spent time with or has aided.

:- 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! You can reach me in game or on Skype (Lili Hoppit!)! 
:-I'm very big on OOC communication to help organize RP or to solve problems. Seriously, if ever you have an issue with something in regards to the RP, shoot me a tell. I want people to enjoy RP with me as much as possible. :)

== Character ==

=== General ===

'''C'kayah Polaali''' (''Ka-kai-yah Poh-lah-lee'') - aka '''C'kayah Tia''' (''Ka-kai-yah Tea-ah'') - is an active, vigorous Seeker of the Sun living in the city-state of Ul'dah. Urbanized, compared to many of the Coeurl tribe, he typifies the sort of energetic Seeker who leaves to [[Coeurl Tribe|Hunt the World]] and decides that it's pretty nice out there. While he grew up in a traditional Coeurl Sunseeker sept, he has recently adopted his maternal grandmother's surname of Polaali. 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. This wider understanding, paired with his natural charisma, has led him to develop an organized crime cartel whose influence is beginning to be felt throughout Thanalan.

== 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>

::● '''[[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 bartender from the Laughing Lady, his friendship with the woman has grown from their early acquaintance to it's current solid form. When the Lady folded, he brought her into Tylwyth Narah to act as an assistant to Kenthy.
::● '''[[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. The transformation proved temporary, however, and with his return to Lalafellin form, Kage has disappeared.
::● '''[[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.
::♥● '''[[L'kenthi Rarahn]]:''' 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. Her sudden death has left him extremely conflicted when it comes to her.
::● '''[[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. Recent events have led to what seems to be unreconcilable hostility between them.
::●● '''[[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.
::● '''[[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. Recent events led them to fight, and he no longer sees her.
::● '''[[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.
::● '''[[V'lanya Mei]]:''' A beautiful and witty Keeper that C'kayah struck up a conversation with. Her wit reminds him of Roswyn, though her nature is far darker.

== 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 before shattering, the pair parting for reasons neither are willing to discuss. 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.

As Tylwyth Narah grew, the ruins of his relationship with Natalie led to an uneasy alliance between him and a number of renegade Sultansworn. Tasked with helping their attempts at leashing [[Osric Melkire]] and the Red Wings, he was given an extremely valuable Syndicate charter to establish a business in Thanalan. This led to the creation of the Guiding Hand Trade Consortium, an import/export trade concern which deals primarily in compact valuables. As the GHTC grew in wealth, he seemingly abandoned his criminal pursuits in favor of legitimate business, something he loudly maintains is true. Despite this, Tylwyth Narah continues to grow with C'kayah and Kenthy at the head.

=== 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 two years 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, 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 ===

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 has since dyed it a darker blonde that she intends to keep permanent. Her eyes are very light green with a silvery cast to the color to give it an unique, 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 strength it takes to wield her axe and fist weapons, and sun kissed 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. She has a surprisingly emotional and sensitive side that only a handful of people have been able to witness.

== 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]]: 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 mourned her first and only true love. However, during a series of events to give Kao a new body they came across a Garlean named Velstraz who was used as Kao's new host body. After the metaphorical smoke cleared, it was revealed to actually have been Ghislan who now was of body and mind with Lili's friend and employee. She steps awkwardly around the Highlander, still in shock and unsure how to take the revelation.

''●''[[Adokenai Altair]]: 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.

''●''[[Mikh'a Altair]]: A little Keeper kit about one year of age, Lili adopted this little tyke and can sometimes be seen carrying him around. As a baby his interests are narrow, but he certainly seems to love new people!

''●''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 ===

''●''[[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, and still finds her charming enough.

''●''[[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 he has since left the Society.

●[[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 and months 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. Recently with the kidnapping of her adopted son [[Adokenai Altair]] she has turned her sights to her almost-husband for aid, which C'kayah has given.

''●''[[Clover Blake]]: One of the Society's neighbors that lives just up the hill, Lili met the young woman in passing via [[Xydane Vale]]. She hasn't seen her since, but her shyness was endearing.

''●''[[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 pleasant friendship.

''●''●[[Kagewoe Erasus]]: Fiance of Nymira's. 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 had the two walking on thin ice around one another, but things seemed to lead to a much more neutral standing before finally becoming more friendly before him and his fiance left to pursue work opportunities elsewhere.

''●''[[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 interactions with C'kayah and the Morbolvines, she's looked to the woman as a casual friend despite all of their differences and previous disputes. She was to C'kayah what Kaiten was to Lili, and during a walk through the Mists Lili found a placard claiming to be Kenthy and C'kayah's house and it caused an odd assortment of mixed feelings in her. She's avoided seeing her as a product of the discovery, at least for now.

[[Kaiten Skyborn]]: If asked who this person is or about him, she'd blink at you and look utterly puzzled. "...Who?"

''●''[[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 admitted to having an interest in her, but she preferred to be friends over anything. After he joined the Free Wing Society, she began helping him with matters regarding his 'health', which led to a shocking turn of events...(See Family section above as "Ghislan Nightwing")

''●''[[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.

''●''[[Liandri Mei]]: One of Lili's employees and a spunky redheaded miqo'te who likes to drink. While dabbling in things Void related, Lili tries her best to protect the woman and her secrets from behind the scenes.

''●''[[Liliana Nazareth]]: A young mother who looks like Lili from bust size to hair color to profile and even eyes (save the color). While their similarities have gotten the two confused for one another in the past, the news of her 'death' has led Lili to trying to find answers when she can.

♥●[[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. The more time Lili has spent with him the more affectionate she had become, as well as trusting of him. He's shared many secrets with her, all of which she keeps to herself. Their relationship has gradually grown out of the public eye, but it doesn't seem to affect their business relationship. Now a days, they are openly affectionate with one another even around other people and Lili seems quite smitten with the younger blonde. Recently he has proposed and the two are now engaged.

''●''[[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 back story to keep her eye on the girl when she's able to, and to try and guide harm out of her way.

''●''[[Nymira Valeroyant]]: Once a Society member, Nymira also helped Lili look after its affairs and members, though she hasn't seen or heard from the woman since her and Kage left to work else where.

''●''[[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 an easy 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 his related associates.

''●''[[Thrandis Dale]]: Having met outside of the Quicksand, Thrandis approached Lili with the desire to have one of the freshly baked rolls she happened to have in a basket on her person. He followed her to the lane, where they fed some of the orphans and chatted. Since then they meet up now and again for pleasantries and conversation, with Lili recently agreeing to teach Thrandis how to read and write, which she never got to fulfill before his untimely demise.

''●''[[Titor Jaraba]]: An alchemist that Lili has seen around off and on through the work they both do helping those in Ul'dah with their regents and tonics. While not close, Lili has recently come to him about helping with research towards a cure for the illness her twin daughters share. The revelation of him sharing a similar condition has her feeling more at ease that he is going to assist, and plans to help him all she can.

''●''●[[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 interactions Lili has had with C'kayah had 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 from both of them. Things never fully recovered after that, and when finding out that Lili and C'kayah were still together, she resigned from the Society. Even after T'shina helped with the apprehension of Zaiaku, she can tell the girl still has sore feelings about the past. Even so, it hasn't made Lili regret any of her choices.

●[[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. His interaction with members of her Society did not help his case and now she more or less ignores his existance.

''●''[[Xydane Vale]]:A mysterious man Lili only met once in passing at the Botanist Guild. He was looking for a young woman ([[Clover Blake]]) and asked Lili to give her a bouquet of flowers should she ever find her. She ended up coming across him and Clover at random right in front of her house where the flowers were then delivered and food was given to them both. She finds him to be friendly enough, though a little sad.

●[[Zaiaku Kurai]]: Lili didn't think much of the man when they first met. But the moons worth of on again off again mind games and his attitude and actions against her son have made her positively hostile. It even led to a battle in which Zaiaku yielded and promised to leave Ado be. However, to this day she'd rather feed him to the dodos then look upon him longer then needed. This has only grown since he kidnapped her son Ado in exchange for her property and hand in marriage, though the little boy has since been returned safely to her and the marriage he desired never happened. Since then, she heard he's gone into hiding.

== 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 leaving the Society. While this happened, Lili remained firm in her decision to spend her future with the male. Life continued to change and though Lili and C'kayah eventually parted ways, she took the developments in stride and poured herself further into work. She then had moved Ado and herself into their company house with the hopes to one day get a home of their own.

In her pursuit of helping her employees who have also become her friends, Lili has done things she's not proud of. From keeping secrets to covering up misdeeds and misconduct, it's had the effect of loosening her sense of morals and made her more receptive to doing shadier dealings. Recently during a private ritual to save [[Kaohastraal Aeseroix]] from wasting away in decay, they acquired the body of a Garlean prisoner doomed for execution. Only after the ritual was complete when they removed his mask and robes did Lili see that it was none other then her supposedly deceased husband [[Ghislan Nightwing]]. While now possessing memories of both her friend and husband, it's left Lili in a very strange position both emotionally and legally. At the same time to add to the confusion, her relationship with [[Kaiten Skyborn]] has dwindled and her connection to [[Locke Rinannis]] has strengthened just as the Society made a move into a new house in the Lavender Beds!

'''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 new company house in the Lavender Beds, 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 and friends. Now that she's situated in her new life, she has been caught improving her relations with others in her company that she's spent time with or has aided.

:-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! You can reach me in game or on Skype (Lili Hoppit!)!

=== 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 two years 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, 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 ===

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 has since dyed it a darker blonde that she intends to keep permanent. Her eyes are very light green with a silvery cast to the color to give it an unique, 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 strength it takes to wield her axe and fist weapons, and sun kissed 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. She has a surprisingly emotional and sensitive side that only a handful of people have been able to witness.

== 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.

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 mourned her first and only true love. However, during a series of events to give Kao a new body they came across a Garlean named Velstraz who was used as Kao's new host body. After the metaphorical smoke cleared, it was revealed to actually have been Ghislan who now was of body and mind with Lili's friend and employee. She steps awkwardly around the Highlander, still in shock and unsure how to take the revelation.

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 ===

''●''[[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, and still finds her charming enough.

''●''[[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 he has since left the Society.

●[[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 and months 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. Recently with the kidnapping of her adopted son [[Adokenai Altair]] she has turned her sights to her almost-husband for aid, which C'kayah has given.

''●''[[Clover Blake]]: One of the Society's neighbors that lives just up the hill, Lili met the young woman in passing via [[Xydane Vale]]. She hasn't seen her since, but her shyness was endearing.

''●''[[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 pleasant friendship.

''●''●[[Kagewoe Erasus]]: Fiance of Nymira's. 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 had the two walking on thin ice around one another, but things seemed to lead to a much more neutral standing before finally becoming more friendly before him and his fiance left to pursue work opportunities elsewhere.

''●''[[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 interactions with C'kayah and the Morbolvines, she's looked to the woman as a casual friend despite all of their differences and previous disputes. She was to C'kayah what Kaiten was to Lili, and during a walk through the Mists Lili found a placard claiming to be Kenthy and C'kayah's house and it caused an odd assortment of mixed feelings in her. She's avoided seeing her as a product of the discovery, at least for now.

[[Kaiten Skyborn]]: If asked who this person is or about him, she'd blink at you and look utterly puzzled. "...Who?"

''●''[[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 admitted to having an interest in her, but she preferred to be friends over anything. After he joined the Free Wing Society, she began helping him with matters regarding his 'health', which led to a shocking turn of events...(See Family section above as "Ghislan Nightwing")

''●''[[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.

''●''[[Liandri Mei]]: One of Lili's employees and a spunky redheaded miqo'te who likes to drink. While dabbling in things Void related, Lili tries her best to protect the woman and her secrets from behind the scenes.

''●''[[Liliana Nazareth]]: A young mother who looks like Lili from bust size to hair color to profile and even eyes (save the color). While their similarities have gotten the two confused for one another in the past, the news of her 'death' has led Lili to trying to find answers when she can.

♥●[[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. The more time Lili has spent with him the more affectionate she had become, as well as trusting of him. He's shared many secrets with her, all of which she keeps to herself. Their relationship has gradually grown out of the public eye, but it doesn't seem to affect their business relationship. Now a days, they are openly affectionate with one another even around other people and Lili seems quite smitten with the younger blonde. Recently he has proposed and the two are now engaged.

''●''[[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 back story to keep her eye on the girl when she's able to, and to try and guide harm out of her way.

''●''[[Nymira Valeroyant]]: Once a Society member, Nymira also helped Lili look after its affairs and members, though she hasn't seen or heard from the woman since her and Kage left to work else where.

''●''[[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 an easy 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 his related associates.

''●''[[Thrandis Dale]]: Having met outside of the Quicksand, Thrandis approached Lili with the desire to have one of the freshly baked rolls she happened to have in a basket on her person. He followed her to the lane, where they fed some of the orphans and chatted. Since then they meet up now and again for pleasantries and conversation, with Lili recently agreeing to teach Thrandis how to read and write, which she never got to fulfill before his untimely demise.

''●''[[Titor Jaraba]]: An alchemist that Lili has seen around off and on through the work they both do helping those in Ul'dah with their regents and tonics. While not close, Lili has recently come to him about helping with research towards a cure for the illness her twin daughters share. The revelation of him sharing a similar condition has her feeling more at ease that he is going to assist, and plans to help him all she can.

''●''●[[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 interactions Lili has had with C'kayah had 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. His interaction with members of her Society did not help his case and now she more or less ignores his existance.

''●''[[Xydane Vale]]:A mysterious man Lili only met once in passing at the Botanist Guild. He was looking for a young woman ([[Clover Blake]]) and asked Lili to give her a bouquet of flowers should she ever find her. She ended up coming across him and Clover at random right in front of her house where the flowers were then delivered and food was given to them both. She finds him to be friendly enough, though a little sad.

●[[Zaiaku Kurai]]: Lili didn't think much of the man when they first met. But the moons worth of on again off again mind games and his attitude and actions against her son have made her positively hostile. It even led to a battle in which Zaiaku yielded and promised to leave Ado be. However, to this day she'd rather feed him to the dodos then look upon him longer then needed. This has only grown since he kidnapped her son Ado in exchange for her property and hand in marriage, though the little boy has since been returned safely to her and the marriage he desired never happened.

== 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 leaving the Society. While this happened, Lili remained firm in her decision to spend her future with the male. Life continued to change and though Lili and C'kayah eventually parted ways, she took the developments in stride and poured herself further into work. She then had moved Ado and herself into their company house with the hopes to one day get a home of their own.

In her pursuit of helping her employees who have also become her friends, Lili has done things she's not proud of. From keeping secrets to covering up misdeeds and misconduct, it's had the effect of loosening her sense of morals and made her more receptive to doing shadier dealings. Recently during a private ritual to save [[Kaohastraal Aeseroix]] from wasting away in decay, they acquired the body of a Garlean prisoner doomed for execution. Only after the ritual was complete when they removed his mask and robes did Lili see that it was none other then her supposedly deceased husband [[Ghislan Nightwing]]. While now possessing memories of both her friend and husband, it's left Lili in a very strange position both emotionally and legally. At the same time to add to the confusion, her relationship with [[Kaiten Skyborn]] has dwindled and her connection to [[Locke Rinannis]] has strengthened just as the Society made a move into a new house in the Lavender Beds!

'''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 new company house in the Lavender Beds, 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 and friends. Now that she's situated in her new life, she has been caught improving her relations with others in her company that she's spent time with or has aided.

:- 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! You can reach me in game or on Skype (Lili Hoppit!)! 
:-I'm very big on OOC communication to help organize RP or to solve problems. Seriously, if ever you have an issue with something in regards to the RP, shoot me a tell. I want people to enjoy RP with me as much as possible. :)

=== 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 two years 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, 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 ===

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 has since dyed it a darker blonde that she intends to keep permanent. Her eyes are very light green with a silvery cast to the color to give it an unique, 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 strength it takes to wield her axe and fist weapons, and sun kissed 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. She has a surprisingly emotional and sensitive side that only a handful of people have been able to witness.

== 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]]: 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 mourned her first and only true love. However, during a series of events to give Kao a new body they came across a Garlean named Velstraz who was used as Kao's new host body. After the metaphorical smoke cleared, it was revealed to actually have been Ghislan who now was of body and mind with Lili's friend and employee. She steps awkwardly around the Highlander, still in shock and unsure how to take the revelation.

''●''[[Adokenai Altair]]: 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.

''●''[[Mikh'a Altair]]: A little Keeper kit about one year of age, Lili adopted this little tyke and can sometimes be seen carrying him around. As a baby his interests are narrow, but he certainly seems to love new people!

''●''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 ===

''●''[[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, and still finds her charming enough.

''●''[[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 he has since left the Society.

●[[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 and months 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. Recently with the kidnapping of her adopted son [[Adokenai Altair]] she has turned her sights to her almost-husband for aid, which C'kayah has given.

''●''[[Clover Blake]]: One of the Society's neighbors that lives just up the hill, Lili met the young woman in passing via [[Xydane Vale]]. She hasn't seen her since, but her shyness was endearing.

''●''[[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 pleasant friendship.

''●''●[[Kagewoe Erasus]]: Fiance of Nymira's. 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 had the two walking on thin ice around one another, but things seemed to lead to a much more neutral standing before finally becoming more friendly before him and his fiance left to pursue work opportunities elsewhere.

''●''[[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 interactions with C'kayah and the Morbolvines, she's looked to the woman as a casual friend despite all of their differences and previous disputes. She was to C'kayah what Kaiten was to Lili, and during a walk through the Mists Lili found a placard claiming to be Kenthy and C'kayah's house and it caused an odd assortment of mixed feelings in her. She's avoided seeing her as a product of the discovery, at least for now.

''●''[[Kaiten Skyborn]]: Lili and this hyur were involved for some time back when Lili first started the Society. Having met in the Quicksand, their friendship quickly grew into a passionate, physical relationship that spanned longer then any involvement Lili had had since the parting of her late husband. He was her lover during the time her and [[C'kayah Tia]] were mated and engaged, and even after the relationship with the miqo'te ended they continued to be together. However, a confession of wanting to marry and have a life and family with Lili so soon after her and C'kayah ended had her shying away. Since then they've become more friends then lovers though she never sees him these days.

''●''[[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 admitted to having an interest in her, but she preferred to be friends over anything. After he joined the Free Wing Society, she began helping him with matters regarding his 'health', which led to a shocking turn of events...(See Family section above as "Ghislan Nightwing")

''●''[[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.

''●''[[Liandri Mei]]: One of Lili's employees and a spunky redheaded miqo'te who likes to drink. While dabbling in things Void related, Lili tries her best to protect the woman and her secrets from behind the scenes.

''●''[[Liliana Nazareth]]: A young mother who looks like Lili from bust size to hair color to profile and even eyes (save the color). While their similarities have gotten the two confused for one another in the past, the news of her 'death' has led Lili to trying to find answers when she can.

♥●[[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. The more time Lili has spent with him the more affectionate she had become, as well as trusting of him. He's shared many secrets with her, all of which she keeps to herself. Their relationship has gradually grown out of the public eye, but it doesn't seem to affect their business relationship. Now a days, they are openly affectionate with one another even around other people and Lili seems quite smitten with the younger blonde. Recently he has proposed and the two are now engaged.

''●''[[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 back story to keep her eye on the girl when she's able to, and to try and guide harm out of her way.

''●''[[Nymira Valeroyant]]: Once a Society member, Nymira also helped Lili look after its affairs and members, though she hasn't seen or heard from the woman since her and Kage left to work else where.

''●''[[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 an easy 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 his related associates.

''●''[[Thrandis Dale]]: Having met outside of the Quicksand, Thrandis approached Lili with the desire to have one of the freshly baked rolls she happened to have in a basket on her person. He followed her to the lane, where they fed some of the orphans and chatted. Since then they meet up now and again for pleasantries and conversation, with Lili recently agreeing to teach Thrandis how to read and write, which she never got to fulfill before his untimely demise.

''●''[[Titor Jaraba]]: An alchemist that Lili has seen around off and on through the work they both do helping those in Ul'dah with their regents and tonics. While not close, Lili has recently come to him about helping with research towards a cure for the illness her twin daughters share. The revelation of him sharing a similar condition has her feeling more at ease that he is going to assist, and plans to help him all she can.

''●''●[[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 interactions Lili has had with C'kayah had 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. His interaction with members of her Society did not help his case and now she more or less ignores his existance.

''●''[[Xydane Vale]]:A mysterious man Lili only met once in passing at the Botanist Guild. He was looking for a young woman ([[Clover Blake]]) and asked Lili to give her a bouquet of flowers should she ever find her. She ended up coming across him and Clover at random right in front of her house where the flowers were then delivered and food was given to them both. She finds him to be friendly enough, though a little sad.

●[[Zaiaku Kurai]]: Lili didn't think much of the man when they first met. But the moons worth of on again off again mind games and his attitude and actions against her son have made her positively hostile. It even led to a battle in which Zaiaku yielded and promised to leave Ado be. However, to this day she'd rather feed him to the dodos then look upon him longer then needed. This has only grown since he kidnapped her son Ado in exchange for her property and hand in marriage, though the little boy has since been returned safely to her and the marriage he desired never happened.

== 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 leaving the Society. While this happened, Lili remained firm in her decision to spend her future with the male. Life continued to change and though Lili and C'kayah eventually parted ways, she took the developments in stride and poured herself further into work. She then had moved Ado and herself into their company house with the hopes to one day get a home of their own.

In her pursuit of helping her employees who have also become her friends, Lili has done things she's not proud of. From keeping secrets to covering up misdeeds and misconduct, it's had the effect of loosening her sense of morals and made her more receptive to doing shadier dealings. Recently during a private ritual to save [[Kaohastraal Aeseroix]] from wasting away in decay, they acquired the body of a Garlean prisoner doomed for execution. Only after the ritual was complete when they removed his mask and robes did Lili see that it was none other then her supposedly deceased husband [[Ghislan Nightwing]]. While now possessing memories of both her friend and husband, it's left Lili in a very strange position both emotionally and legally. At the same time to add to the confusion, her relationship with [[Kaiten Skyborn]] has dwindled and her connection to [[Locke Rinannis]] has strengthened just as the Society made a move into a new house in the Lavender Beds!

'''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 new company house in the Lavender Beds, 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 and friends. Now that she's situated in her new life, she has been caught improving her relations with others in her company that she's spent time with or has aided.

:-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! You can reach me in game or on Skype (Lili Hoppit!)!

'''Ludivine Goultard''' (pronounced /ˈLud-iv-een Gool-tard/) (15th Sun of the 5th Umbral Moon (November 15)) is a former Ul'dahn citizen and Immortal Flames soldier. Leaving her isolated home and (rather influential and high-class) family at the age of fourteen to seek glory for herself, she prospered in the wilds of Thanalan, working on simple and unrefined swordplay which would earn her the notice of several commanding officers in the Immortal Flames. Quickly ushered inside the gates of the city, she was sworn in oath and continually proved herself in the harshest of conditions. Placing herself on the front lines frequently, Ludivine took a mission to lead a group of recruits through Southern Thanalan, hoping to bolster support around Little Ala Mhigo. On one day patrol, her group was ambushed. Instead of fighting to the last, her recruits panicked and restrained her, offering her to the Amalj'aa in exchange for their lives. Betrayed and beaten Ludivine thought her life over, instead she was forced through the cruelest hell possible, used as a toy by the Amalj'aa and their war-beasts. Three years of violent abuse and rape broke Ludivine's mind, leaving little remaining of her former proud self. As the Calamity came nigh, Ludivine was able to manipulate the minds of a group of influential Amalj'aa, beginning a feud where many died believing she promised herself to them - yet as the blood-soaked sands calmed, the subdued Amalj'aa found that she had slipped her bonds and escaped into the wastes. Hunted as she fled the heartlands, she made her way back to what semblance of protection and civilisation she could find, gathering her strength and learning the ways of the desert once more, before returning to Ul'dah. Her mind and heart was ruled by only one thing - madness.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Appearance & Personality</div>===
: Rarely seen without a slouched posture and lazily-dressed appearance, Ludivine believes in function before fashion. Feeling no need to impress, she wears what's best for the climate she's working in, and rarely changes out of it. Without the coin to support herself not only does she sleep on the streets, but she also has little opportunity to buy new clothes. With her current life she has come to terms with her appearance and lack of good clothing, and doesn't show any disdain to how she looks. Her most common outfit is an open-chested shirt, baggy pants, long gloves and simple, sturdy boots.

: Ludivine acts how she needs to fit in, coming across as friendly and shy, maybe teasing and joking if she knows the person well enough. Always passive and nervous-looking, she manages to make many friends without effort, willing to listen and lend a shoulder to people's troubles. Her speech is relaxed and free, heavily changed from the prideful and gently flowing speech she once had. She is incredibly quick, able to figure out peoples' dispositions and troubles just by studying them for a moment. On top of this, she can read and write due to her upbringing, though the skill rarely comes in handy in her selection of jobs of manual labour.

: Underneath this exterior, Ludivine's mind is constantly turning, searching for ways to hurt and abuse others. Completely ruled by chaos, she has no qualms about siding with the Empire, the resistance, murderers, thieves or most that normal people would fear. As expected, she despises beast tribes and The Immortal Flames, and will rarely work for them. Her true self is cold and callous, dispelling the shy and nervous illusion she wears when in public, though the only times she reveals this part of her is when she needs to hurt others, or when she finds someone who feels the same way she does about the world. To hide her identity, she often wears a dark cloak, though often than not prefers to manipulate events through less physical encounters, so it is rarely seen on her.

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

=====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Childhood (1550-1564)</div>=====

:: Ludivine is born to her mother (Amandine) and father (Severin) in the mountains far west of La Noscea. Her parents are respected within the Duskwight community in the mountains as brave fighters, veterans of several skirmishes with other communities and in defense of their home, and their daughter grows up with great idolization for her parents, training to become as strong as they are. While growing up she had a fascination with birds, quietly watching the small and less predatory species as they made nests in the mountains. Though she loved much of her mountain life, it was often harsh and cold, but she remained friendly and amiable to those few others she spent her youth with. Ludivine had her sights set far from home, something which would cause a slight rift between her and her parents as she grew older, but once she was of age - at only thirteen - she left the mountains and made a year-long journey to Thanalan.

:: The journey gave little difficulty to Ludivine, who survived in the wilds with basic hunting and tracking skills. She also carried a modest amount of gil on her, which allowed her some respite at towns and villages between the mountains and Thanalan, though she rarely spent any more than she needed. Though she became lonely at times, she remained light of heart, and made steady pace at all times, adapting to the different terrain easily. She reached the gates of Ul'dah shortly after a full year.

=====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">1564-1566</div>=====

:: In spite of her efforts, Ludivine was declined entry into the city. Even before the Calamity Duskwight were looked down on, and her age and appearance did little to persuade the city guards to allow her entry. Undeterred though, she made the desert her home for the next two years, living with refugees and other outcasts as she slowly built up her sword skills and wealth.

:: Under the blistering sun, Ludivine became a strong warrior, even at the age of sixteen. Her determination would gain her the notice of the Brass Blades and Immortal Flames, whom she fought alongside on occasion in protecting the land. With their interest and the small fortune Ludivine managed to accrue, she was finally permitted entry into the city, and left her temporary home of the desert behind her.

====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">1566 - 1570</div>====

:: Ludivine took the opportunity to win further favour with the Immortal Flames by acting as an inner-city messenger for a short while, and through building up connections with a few officers, was happy to be sworn into oath when the chance came. Starting at the lowest rank (as all new recruits did), her duties were simple and often involved nothing more than tending to disturbances reported by paranoid merchants.

:: Over four years she grew in rank and reputation, though she still had a youthful naivety that meant she was rarely taken seriously by her peers. To compound this, the severe racism that plagued her meant that superiors were often unwilling to promote her, even if they had personal sympathy. In four years of hard service she achieved what most would do in two.

=== 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 two years 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, 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 ===

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 has since dyed it a darker blonde that she intends to keep permanent. Her eyes are very light green with a silvery cast to the color to give it an unique, 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 strength it takes to wield her axe and fist weapons, and sun kissed 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. She has a surprisingly emotional and sensitive side that only a handful of people have been able to witness.

== 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]]: 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 mourned her first and only true love. However, during a series of events to give Kao a new body they came across a Garlean named Velstraz who was used as Kao's new host body. After the metaphorical smoke cleared, it was revealed to actually have been Ghislan who now was of body and mind with Lili's friend and employee. She steps awkwardly around the Highlander, still in shock and unsure how to take the revelation.

''●''[[Adokenai Altair]]: 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.

''●''[[Mikh'a Altair]]: A little Keeper kit about one year of age, Lili adopted this little tyke and can sometimes be seen carrying him around. As a baby his interests are narrow, but he certainly seems to love new people!

''●''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 ===

''●''[[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, and still finds her charming enough.

''●''[[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 he has since left the Society.

●[[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. Recently with the kidnapping of her adopted son [[Adokenai Altair]] she has turned her sights to her almost-husband for aid, though whether or not it is given is a different story

''●''[[Clover Blake]]: One of the Society's neighbors that lives just up the hill, Lili met the young woman in passing via [[Xydane Vale]]. She hasn't seen her since, but her shyness was endearing.

''●''[[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 pleasant friendship.

''●''●[[Kagewoe Erasus]]: Fiance of Nymira's. 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 had the two walking on thin ice around one another, but things seemed to lead to a much more neutral standing before finally becoming more friendly before him and his fiance left to pursue work opportunities elsewhere.

''●''[[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 interactions with C'kayah and the Morbolvines, she's looked to the woman as a casual friend despite all of their differences and previous disputes. She was to C'kayah what Kaiten was to Lili, and during a walk through the Mists Lili found a placard claiming to be Kenthy and C'kayah's house and it caused an odd assortment of mixed feelings in her. She's avoided seeing her as a product of the discovery, at least for now.

''●''[[Kaiten Skyborn]]: Lili and this hyur were involved for some time back when Lili first started the Society. Having met in the Quicksand, their friendship quickly grew into a passionate, physical relationship that spanned longer then any involvement Lili had had since the parting of her late husband. He was her lover during the time her and [[C'kayah Tia]] were mated and engaged, and even after the relationship with the miqo'te ended they continued to be together. However, a confession of wanting to marry and have a life and family with Lili so soon after her and C'kayah ended had her shying away. Since then they've become more friends then lovers though she never sees him these days.

''●''[[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 admitted to having an interest in her, but she preferred to be friends over anything. After he joined the Free Wing Society, she began helping him with matters regarding his 'health', which led to a shocking turn of events...(See Family section above as "Ghislan Nightwing")

''●''[[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.

''●''[[Liandri Mei]]: One of Lili's employees and a spunky redheaded miqo'te who likes to drink. While dabbling in things Void related, Lili tries her best to protect the woman and her secrets from behind the scenes.

''●''[[Liliana Nazareth]]: A young mother who looks like Lili from bust size to hair color to profile and even eyes (save the color). While their similarities have gotten the two confused for one another in the past, the news of her 'death' has led Lili to trying to find answers when she can.

♥●[[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. The more time Lili has spent with him the more affectionate she had become, as well as trusting of him. He's shared many secrets with her, all of which she keeps to herself. Their relationship has gradually grown out of the public eye, but it doesn't seem to affect their business relationship. Now a days, they are openly affectionate with one another even around other people and Lili seems quite smitten with the younger blonde. Recently he has proposed and the two are now engaged.

''●''[[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 back story to keep her eye on the girl when she's able to, and to try and guide harm out of her way.

''●''[[Nymira Valeroyant]]: Once a Society member, Nymira also helped Lili look after its affairs and members, though she hasn't seen or heard from the woman since her and Kage left to work else where.

''●''[[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 an easy 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 his related associates.

''●''[[Thrandis Dale]]: Having met outside of the Quicksand, Thrandis approached Lili with the desire to have one of the freshly baked rolls she happened to have in a basket on her person. He followed her to the lane, where they fed some of the orphans and chatted. Since then they meet up now and again for pleasantries and conversation, with Lili recently agreeing to teach Thrandis how to read and write, which she never got to fulfill before his untimely demise.

''●''[[Titor Jaraba]]: An alchemist that Lili has seen around off and on through the work they both do helping those in Ul'dah with their regents and tonics. While not close, Lili has recently come to him about helping with research towards a cure for the illness her twin daughters share. The revelation of him sharing a similar condition has her feeling more at ease that he is going to assist, and plans to help him all she can.

''●''●[[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 interactions Lili has had with C'kayah had 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. His interaction with members of her Society did not help his case and now she more or less ignores his existance.

''●''[[Xydane Vale]]:A mysterious man Lili only met once in passing at the Botanist Guild. He was looking for a young woman ([[Clover Blake]]) and asked Lili to give her a bouquet of flowers should she ever find her. She ended up coming across him and Clover at random right in front of her house where the flowers were then delivered and food was given to them both. She finds him to be friendly enough, though a little sad.

●[[Zaiaku Kurai]]: Lili didn't think much of the man when they first met. But the moons worth of on again off again mind games and his attitude and actions against her son have made her positively hostile. It even led to a battle in which Zaiaku yielded and promised to leave Ado be. However, to this day she'd rather feed him to the dodos then look upon him longer then needed. This has only grown since he kidnapped her son Ado in exchange for her property and hand in marriage, though the little boy has since been returned safely to her and the marriage he desired never happened.

== 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 leaving the Society. While this happened, Lili remained firm in her decision to spend her future with the male. Life continued to change and though Lili and C'kayah eventually parted ways, she took the developments in stride and poured herself further into work. She then had moved Ado and herself into their company house with the hopes to one day get a home of their own.

In her pursuit of helping her employees who have also become her friends, Lili has done things she's not proud of. From keeping secrets to covering up misdeeds and misconduct, it's had the effect of loosening her sense of morals and made her more receptive to doing shadier dealings. Recently during a private ritual to save [[Kaohastraal Aeseroix]] from wasting away in decay, they acquired the body of a Garlean prisoner doomed for execution. Only after the ritual was complete when they removed his mask and robes did Lili see that it was none other then her supposedly deceased husband [[Ghislan Nightwing]]. While now possessing memories of both her friend and husband, it's left Lili in a very strange position both emotionally and legally. At the same time to add to the confusion, her relationship with [[Kaiten Skyborn]] has dwindled and her connection to [[Locke Rinannis]] has strengthened just as the Society made a move into a new house in the Lavender Beds!

'''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 new company house in the Lavender Beds, 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 and friends. Now that she's situated in her new life, she has been caught improving her relations with others in her company that she's spent time with or has aided.

:-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! You can reach me in game or on Skype (Lili Hoppit!)! 
:-I'm very big on OOC communication to help organize RP or to solve problems. Seriously, if ever you have an issue with something in regards to the RP, shoot me a tell. I want people to enjoy RP with me as much as possible. :)

=== 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 two years 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, 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 ===

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 has since dyed it a darker blonde that she intends to keep permanent. Her eyes are very light green with a silvery cast to the color to give it an unique, 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 strength it takes to wield her axe and fist weapons, and sun kissed 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. She has a surprisingly emotional and sensitive side that only a handful of people have been able to witness.

== 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]]: 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 mourned her first and only true love. However, during a series of events to give Kao a new body they came across a Garlean named Velstraz who was used as Kao's new host body. After the metaphorical smoke cleared, it was revealed to actually have been Ghislan who now was of body and mind with Lili's friend and employee. She steps awkwardly around the Highlander, still in shock and unsure how to take the revelation.

''●''[[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 ===

''●''[[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, and still finds her charming enough.

''●''[[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 he has since left the Society.

●[[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. Recently with the kidnapping of her adopted son [[Adokenai Altair]] she has turned her sights to her almost-husband for aid, though whether or not it is given is a different story

''●''[[Clover Blake]]: One of the Society's neighbors that lives just up the hill, Lili met the young woman in passing via [[Xydane Vale]]. She hasn't seen her since, but her shyness was endearing.

''●''[[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 pleasant friendship.

''●''●[[Kagewoe Erasus]]: Fiance of Nymira's. 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 had the two walking on thin ice around one another, but things seemed to lead to a much more neutral standing before finally becoming more friendly before him and his fiance left to pursue work opportunities elsewhere.

''●''[[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 interactions with C'kayah and the Morbolvines, she's looked to the woman as a casual friend despite all of their differences and previous disputes. She was to C'kayah what Kaiten was to Lili, and during a walk through the Mists Lili found a placard claiming to be Kenthy and C'kayah's house and it caused an odd assortment of mixed feelings in her. She's avoided seeing her as a product of the discovery, at least for now.

''●''[[Kaiten Skyborn]]: Lili and this hyur were involved for some time back when Lili first started the Society. Having met in the Quicksand, their friendship quickly grew into a passionate, physical relationship that spanned longer then any involvement Lili had had since the parting of her late husband. He was her lover during the time her and [[C'kayah Tia]] were mated and engaged, and even after the relationship with the miqo'te ended they continued to be together. However, a confession of wanting to marry and have a life and family with Lili so soon after her and C'kayah ended had her shying away. Since then they've become more friends then lovers though she never sees him these days.

''●''[[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 admitted to having an interest in her, but she preferred to be friends over anything. After he joined the Free Wing Society, she began helping him with matters regarding his 'health', which led to a shocking turn of events...(See Family section above as "Ghislan Nightwing")

''●''[[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.

''●''[[Liandri Mei]]: One of Lili's employees and a spunky redheaded miqo'te who likes to drink. While dabbling in things Void related, Lili tries her best to protect the woman and her secrets from behind the scenes.

''●''[[Liliana Nazareth]]: A young mother who looks like Lili from bust size to hair color to profile and even eyes (save the color). While their similarities have gotten the two confused for one another in the past, the news of her 'death' has led Lili to trying to find answers when she can.

♥●[[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. The more time Lili has spent with him the more affectionate she had become, as well as trusting of him. He's shared many secrets with her, all of which she keeps to herself. Their relationship has gradually grown out of the public eye, but it doesn't seem to affect their business relationship. Now a days, they are openly affectionate with one another even around other people and Lili seems quite smitten with the younger blonde. Recently he has proposed and the two are now engaged.

''●''[[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 back story to keep her eye on the girl when she's able to, and to try and guide harm out of her way.

''●''[[Nymira Valeroyant]]: Once a Society member, Nymira also helped Lili look after its affairs and members, though she hasn't seen or heard from the woman since her and Kage left to work else where.

''●''[[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 an easy 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 his related associates.

''●''[[Thrandis Dale]]: Having met outside of the Quicksand, Thrandis approached Lili with the desire to have one of the freshly baked rolls she happened to have in a basket on her person. He followed her to the lane, where they fed some of the orphans and chatted. Since then they meet up now and again for pleasantries and conversation, with Lili recently agreeing to teach Thrandis how to read and write, which she never got to fulfill before his untimely demise.

''●''[[Titor Jaraba]]: An alchemist that Lili has seen around off and on through the work they both do helping those in Ul'dah with their regents and tonics. While not close, Lili has recently come to him about helping with research towards a cure for the illness her twin daughters share. The revelation of him sharing a similar condition has her feeling more at ease that he is going to assist, and plans to help him all she can.

''●''●[[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 interactions Lili has had with C'kayah had 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. His interaction with members of her Society did not help his case and now she more or less ignores his existance.

''●''[[Xydane Vale]]:A mysterious man Lili only met once in passing at the Botanist Guild. He was looking for a young woman ([[Clover Blake]]) and asked Lili to give her a bouquet of flowers should she ever find her. She ended up coming across him and Clover at random right in front of her house where the flowers were then delivered and food was given to them both. She finds him to be friendly enough, though a little sad.

●[[Zaiaku Kurai]]: Lili didn't think much of the man when they first met. But the moons worth of on again off again mind games and his attitude and actions against her son have made her positively hostile. It even led to a battle in which Zaiaku yielded and promised to leave Ado be. However, to this day she'd rather feed him to the dodos then look upon him longer then needed. This has only grown since he kidnapped her son Ado in exchange for her property and hand in marriage, though the little boy has since been returned safely to her and the marriage he desired never happened.

== 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 leaving the Society. While this happened, Lili remained firm in her decision to spend her future with the male. Life continued to change and though Lili and C'kayah eventually parted ways, she took the developments in stride and poured herself further into work. She then had moved Ado and herself into their company house with the hopes to one day get a home of their own.

In her pursuit of helping her employees who have also become her friends, Lili has done things she's not proud of. From keeping secrets to covering up misdeeds and misconduct, it's had the effect of loosening her sense of morals and made her more receptive to doing shadier dealings. Recently during a private ritual to save [[Kaohastraal Aeseroix]] from wasting away in decay, they acquired the body of a Garlean prisoner doomed for execution. Only after the ritual was complete when they removed his mask and robes did Lili see that it was none other then her supposedly deceased husband [[Ghislan Nightwing]]. While now possessing memories of both her friend and husband, it's left Lili in a very strange position both emotionally and legally. At the same time to add to the confusion, her relationship with [[Kaiten Skyborn]] has dwindled and her connection to [[Locke Rinannis]] has strengthened just as the Society made a move into a new house in the Lavender Beds!

'''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 new company house in the Lavender Beds, 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 and friends. Now that she's situated in her new life, she has been caught improving her relations with others in her company that she's spent time with or has aided.

=== 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 two years 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, 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 ===

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 has since dyed it a darker blonde that she intends to keep permanent. Her eyes are very light green with a silvery cast to the color to give it an unique, 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 strength it takes to wield her axe and fist weapons, and sun kissed 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. She has a surprisingly emotional and sensitive side that only a handful of people have been able to witness.

== 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]]: 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 mourned her first and only true love. However, during a series of events to give Kao a new body they came across a Garlean named Velstraz who was used as Kao's new host body. After the metaphorical smoke cleared, it was revealed to actually have been Ghislan who now was of body and mind with Lili's friend and employee. She steps awkwardly around the Highlander, still in shock and unsure how to take the revelation.

''●''[[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 ===

''●''[[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, and still finds her charming enough.

''●''[[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 he has since left the Society.

●[[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.

''●''[[Clover Blake]]: One of the Society's neighbors that lives just up the hill, Lili met the young woman in passing via [[Xydane Vale]]. She hasn't seen her since, but her shyness was endearing.

''●''[[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 pleasant friendship.

''●''●[[Kagewoe Erasus]]: Fiance of Nymira's. 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 had the two walking on thin ice around one another, but things seemed to lead to a much more neutral standing before finally becoming more friendly before him and his fiance left to pursue work opportunities elsewhere.

''●''[[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 interactions with C'kayah and the Morbolvines, she's looked to the woman as a casual friend despite all of their differences and previous disputes. She was to C'kayah what Kaiten was to Lili, and during a walk through the Mists Lili found a placard claiming to be Kenthy and C'kayah's house and it caused an odd assortment of mixed feelings in her. She's avoided seeing her as a product of the discovery, at least for now.

''●''[[Kaiten Skyborn]]: Lili and this hyur were involved for some time back when Lili first started the Society. Having met in the Quicksand, their friendship quickly grew into a passionate, physical relationship that spanned longer then any involvement Lili had had since the parting of her late husband. He was her lover during the time her and [[C'kayah Tia]] were mated and engaged, and even after the relationship with the miqo'te ended they continued to be together. However, a confession of wanting to marry and have a life and family with Lili so soon after her and C'kayah ended had her shying away. Since then they've become more friends then lovers though she never sees him these days.

''●''[[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 admitted to having an interest in her, but she preferred to be friends over anything. After he joined the Free Wing Society, she began helping him with matters regarding his 'health', which led to a shocking turn of events...(See Family section above as "Ghislan Nightwing")

''●''[[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.

''●''[[Liandri Mei]]: One of Lili's employees and a spunky redheaded miqo'te who likes to drink. While dabbling in things Void related, Lili tries her best to protect the woman and her secrets from behind the scenes.

''●''[[Liliana Nazareth]]: A young mother who looks like Lili from bust size to hair color to profile and even eyes (save the color). While their similarities have gotten the two confused for one another in the past, the news of her 'death' has led Lili to trying to find answers when she can.

♥●[[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. The more time Lili has spent with him the more affectionate she had become, as well as trusting of him. He's shared many secrets with her, all of which she keeps to herself. Their relationship has gradually grown out of the public eye, but it doesn't seem to affect their business relationship. Now a days, they are openly affectionate with one another even around other people and Lili seems quite smitten with the younger blonde. Recently he has proposed and the two are now engaged.

''●''[[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 back story to keep her eye on the girl when she's able to, and to try and guide harm out of her way.

''●''[[Nymira Valeroyant]]: Once a Society member, Nymira also helped Lili look after its affairs and members, though she hasn't seen or heard from the woman since her and Kage left to work else where.

''●''[[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 an easy 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 his related associates.

''●''[[Thrandis Dale]]: Having met outside of the Quicksand, Thrandis approached Lili with the desire to have one of the freshly baked rolls she happened to have in a basket on her person. He followed her to the lane, where they fed some of the orphans and chatted. Since then they meet up now and again for pleasantries and conversation, with Lili recently agreeing to teach Thrandis how to read and write, which she never got to fulfill before his untimely demise.

''●''[[Titor Jaraba]]: An alchemist that Lili has seen around off and on through the work they both do helping those in Ul'dah with their regents and tonics. While not close, Lili has recently come to him about helping with research towards a cure for the illness her twin daughters share. The revelation of him sharing a similar condition has her feeling more at ease that he is going to assist, and plans to help him all she can.

''●''●[[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 interactions Lili has had with C'kayah had 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. His interaction with members of her Society did not help his case and now she more or less ignores his existance.

''●''[[Xydane Vale]]:A mysterious man Lili only met once in passing at the Botanist Guild. He was looking for a young woman ([[Clover Blake]]) and asked Lili to give her a bouquet of flowers should she ever find her. She ended up coming across him and Clover at random right in front of her house where the flowers were then delivered and food was given to them both. She finds him to be friendly enough, though a little sad.

●[[Zaiaku Kurai]]: Lili didn't think much of the man when they first met. But the moons worth of on again off again mind games and his attitude and actions against her son have made her positively hostile. It even led to a battle in which Zaiaku yielded and promised to leave Ado be. However, to this day she'd rather feed him to the dodos then look upon him longer then needed. This has only grown since he kidnapped her son Ado in exchange for her property and hand in marriage, though the little boy has since been returned safely to her and the marriage he desired never happened.

== 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 leaving the Society. While this happened, Lili remained firm in her decision to spend her future with the male. Life continued to change and though Lili and C'kayah eventually parted ways, she took the developments in stride and poured herself further into work. She then had moved Ado and herself into their company house with the hopes to one day get a home of their own.

In her pursuit of helping her employees who have also become her friends, Lili has done things she's not proud of. From keeping secrets to covering up misdeeds and misconduct, it's had the effect of loosening her sense of morals and made her more receptive to doing shadier dealings. Recently during a private ritual to save [[Kaohastraal Aeseroix]] from wasting away in decay, they acquired the body of a Garlean prisoner doomed for execution. Only after the ritual was complete when they removed his mask and robes did Lili see that it was none other then her supposedly deceased husband [[Ghislan Nightwing]]. While now possessing memories of both her friend and husband, it's left Lili in a very strange position both emotionally and legally. At the same time to add to the confusion, her relationship with [[Kaiten Skyborn]] has dwindled and her connection to [[Locke Rinannis]] has strengthened just as the Society made a move into a new house in the Lavender Beds!

'''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 new company house in the Lavender Beds, 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 and friends. Now that she's situated in her new life, she has been caught improving her relations with others in her company that she's spent time with or has aided.

:- 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! You can reach me in game or on Skype (Lili Hoppit!)! 
:-I'm very big on OOC communication to help organize RP or to solve problems. Seriously, if ever you have an issue with something in regards to the RP, shoot me a tell. I want people to enjoy RP with me as much as possible. :)

;'''Limsa Lominsa:''' Lili spent many years in Limsa up until the last year or so, and was in the city often. In the past and over time, she usually had her children trailing alongside her and helping with her various errands. 

;'''The Goblet:''' When Lili worked with the Blacktalon Vanguard (BT-RP), she was in the first ward of the Goblet very often.

=== 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 two years 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, 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 ===

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 has since dyed it a darker blonde that she intends to keep permanent. Her eyes are very light green with a silvery cast to the color to give it an unique, 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 strength it takes to wield her axe and fist weapons, and sun kissed 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. She has a surprisingly emotional and sensitive side that only a handful of people have been able to witness.

== 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]]: 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 mourned her first and only true love. However, during a series of events to give Kao a new body they came across a Garlean named Velstraz who was used as Kao's new host body. After the metaphorical smoke cleared, it was revealed to actually have been Ghislan who now was of body and mind with Lili's friend and employee. She steps awkwardly around the Highlander, still in shock and unsure how to take the revelation.

''●''[[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 ===

''●''[[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, and still finds her charming enough.

''●''[[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 he has since left the Society.

●[[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.

''●''[[Clover Blake]]: One of the Society's neighbors that lives just up the hill, Lili met the young woman in passing via [[Xydane Vale]]. She hasn't seen her since, but her shyness was endearing.

''●''[[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 pleasant friendship.

''●''●[[Kagewoe Erasus]]: Fiance of Nymira's. 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 had the two walking on thin ice around one another, but things seemed to lead to a much more neutral standing before finally becoming more friendly before him and his fiance left to pursue work opportunities elsewhere.

''●''[[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 interactions with C'kayah and the Morbolvines, she's looked to the woman as a casual friend despite all of their differences and previous disputes. She was to C'kayah what Kaiten was to Lili, and during a walk through the Mists Lili found a placard claiming to be Kenthy and C'kayah's house and it caused an odd assortment of mixed feelings in her. She's avoided seeing her as a product of the discovery, at least for now.

''●''[[Kaiten Skyborn]]: Lili and this hyur were involved for some time back when Lili first started the Society. Having met in the Quicksand, their friendship quickly grew into a passionate, physical relationship that spanned longer then any involvement Lili had had since the parting of her late husband. He was her lover during the time her and [[C'kayah Tia]] were mated and engaged, and even after the relationship with the miqo'te ended they continued to be together. However, a confession of wanting to marry and have a life and family with Lili so soon after her and C'kayah ended had her shying away. Since then they've become more friends then lovers though she never sees him these days.

''●''[[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 admitted to having an interest in her, but she preferred to be friends over anything. After he joined the Free Wing Society, she began helping him with matters regarding his 'health', which led to a shocking turn of events...(See Family section above as "Ghislan Nightwing")

''●''[[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.

''●''[[Liandri Mei]]: One of Lili's employees and a spunky redheaded miqo'te who likes to drink. While dabbling in things Void related, Lili tries her best to protect the woman and her secrets from behind the scenes.

''●''[[Liliana Nazareth]]: A young mother who looks like Lili from bust size to hair color to profile and even eyes (save the color). While their similarities have gotten the two confused for one another in the past, the news of her 'death' has led Lili to trying to find answers when she can.

♥●[[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. The more time Lili has spent with him the more affectionate she had become, as well as trusting of him. He's shared many secrets with her, all of which she keeps to herself. Their relationship has gradually grown out of the public eye, but it doesn't seem to affect their business relationship. Now a days, they are openly affectionate with one another even around other people and Lili seems quite smitten with the younger blonde. Recently he has proposed and the two are now engaged.

''●''[[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 back story to keep her eye on the girl when she's able to, and to try and guide harm out of her way.

''●''[[Nymira Valeroyant]]: Once a Society member, Nymira also helped Lili look after its affairs and members, though she hasn't seen or heard from the woman since her and Kage left to work else where.

''●''[[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 an easy 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 his related associates.

''●''[[Thrandis Dale]]: Having met outside of the Quicksand, Thrandis approached Lili with the desire to have one of the freshly baked rolls she happened to have in a basket on her person. He followed her to the lane, where they fed some of the orphans and chatted. Since then they meet up now and again for pleasantries and conversation, with Lili recently agreeing to teach Thrandis how to read and write, which she never got to fulfill before his untimely demise.

''●''[[Titor Jaraba]]: An alchemist that Lili has seen around off and on through the work they both do helping those in Ul'dah with their regents and tonics. While not close, Lili has recently come to him about helping with research towards a cure for the illness her twin daughters share. The revelation of him sharing a similar condition has her feeling more at ease that he is going to assist, and plans to help him all she can.

''●''●[[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 interactions Lili has had with C'kayah had 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. His interaction with members of her Society did not help his case and now she more or less ignores his existance.

''●''[[Xydane Vale]]:A mysterious man Lili only met once in passing at the Botanist Guild. He was looking for a young woman ([[Clover Blake]]) and asked Lili to give her a bouquet of flowers should she ever find her. She ended up coming across him and Clover at random right in front of her house where the flowers were then delivered and food was given to them both. She finds him to be friendly enough, though a little sad.

●[[Zaiaku Kurai]]: Lili didn't think much of the man when they first met. But the moons worth of on again off again mind games and his attitude and actions against her son have made her positively hostile. It even led to a battle in which Zaiaku yielded and promised to leave Ado be. However, to this day she'd rather feed him to the dodos then look upon him longer then needed. This has only grown since he kidnapped her son Ado in exchange for her property and hand in marriage, though the little boy has since been returned safely to her and the marriage he desired never happened.

== 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 leaving the Society. While this happened, Lili remained firm in her decision to spend her future with the male. Life continued to change and though Lili and C'kayah eventually parted ways, she took the developments in stride and poured herself further into work. She then had moved Ado and herself into their company house with the hopes to one day get a home of their own.

In her pursuit of helping her employees who have also become her friends, Lili has done things she's not proud of. From keeping secrets to covering up misdeeds and misconduct, it's had the effect of loosening her sense of morals and made her more receptive to doing shadier dealings. Recently during a private ritual to save [[Kaohastraal Aeseroix]] from wasting away in decay, they acquired the body of a Garlean prisoner doomed for execution. Only after the ritual was complete when they removed his mask and robes did Lili see that it was none other then her supposedly deceased husband [[Ghislan Nightwing]]. While now possessing memories of both her friend and husband, it's left Lili in a very strange position both emotionally and legally. At the same time to add to the confusion, her relationship with [[Kaiten Skyborn]] has dwindled and her connection to [[Locke Rinannis]] has strengthened just as the Society made a move into a new house in the Lavender Beds!

'''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 new company house in the Lavender Beds, 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 and friends. Now that she's situated in her new life, she has been caught improving her relations with others in her company that she's spent time with or has aided.

:-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! You can reach me in game or on Skype (Lili Hoppit!)!

=== 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 two years 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, 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 ===

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 has since dyed it a darker blonde that she intends to keep permanent. Her eyes are very light green with a silvery cast to the color to give it an unique, 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 strength it takes to wield her axe and fist weapons, and sun kissed 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. She has a surprisingly emotional and sensitive side that only a handful of people have been able to witness.

== 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]]: 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 mourned her first and only true love. However, during a series of events to give Kao a new body they came across a Garlean named Velstraz who was used as Kao's new host body. After the metaphorical smoke cleared, it was revealed to actually have been Ghislan who now was of body and mind with Lili's friend and employee. She steps awkwardly around the Highlander, still in shock and unsure how to take the revelation.

''●''[[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 ===

''●''[[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, and still finds her charming enough.

''●''[[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 he has since left the Society.

●[[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.

''●''[[Clover Blake]]: One of the Society's neighbors that lives just up the hill, Lili met the young woman in passing via [[Xydane Vale]]. She hasn't seen her since, but her shyness was endearing.

''●''[[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 pleasant friendship.

''●''●[[Kagewoe Erasus]]: Fiance of Nymira's. 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 had the two walking on thin ice around one another, but things seemed to lead to a much more neutral standing before finally becoming more friendly before him and his fiance left to pursue work opportunities elsewhere.

''●''[[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 interactions with C'kayah and the Morbolvines, she's looked to the woman as a casual friend despite all of their differences and previous disputes. She was to C'kayah what Kaiten was to Lili, and during a walk through the Mists Lili found a placard claiming to be Kenthy and C'kayah's house and it caused an odd assortment of mixed feelings in her. She's avoided seeing her as a product of the discovery, at least for now.

''●''[[Kaiten Skyborn]]: Lili and this hyur were involved for some time back when Lili first started the Society. Having met in the Quicksand, their friendship quickly grew into a passionate, physical relationship that spanned longer then any involvement Lili had had since the parting of her late husband. He was her lover during the time her and [[C'kayah Tia]] were mated and engaged, and even after the relationship with the miqo'te ended they continued to be together. However, a confession of wanting to marry and have a life and family with Lili so soon after her and C'kayah ended had her shying away. Since then they've become more friends then lovers though she never sees him these days.

''●''[[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 admitted to having an interest in her, but she preferred to be friends over anything. After he joined the Free Wing Society, she began helping him with matters regarding his 'health', which led to a shocking turn of events...(See Family section above as "Ghislan Nightwing")

''●''[[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.

''●''[[Liandri Mei]]: One of Lili's employees and a spunky redheaded miqo'te who likes to drink. While dabbling in things Void related, Lili tries her best to protect the woman and her secrets from behind the scenes.

''●''[[Liliana Nazareth]]: A young mother who looks like Lili from bust size to hair color to profile and even eyes (save the color). While their similarities have gotten the two confused for one another in the past, the news of her 'death' has led Lili to trying to find answers when she can.

♥●[[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. The more time Lili has spent with him the more affectionate she had become, as well as trusting of him. He's shared many secrets with her, all of which she keeps to herself. Their relationship has gradually grown out of the public eye, but it doesn't seem to affect their business relationship. Now a days, they are openly affectionate with one another even around other people and Lili seems quite smitten with the younger blonde. Recently he has proposed and the two are now engaged.

''●''[[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 back story to keep her eye on the girl when she's able to, and to try and guide harm out of her way.

''●''[[Nymira Valeroyant]]: Once a Society member, Nymira also helped Lili look after its affairs and members, though she hasn't seen or heard from the woman since her and Kage left to work else where.

''●''[[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 an easy 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 his related associates.

''●''[[Thrandis Dale]]: Having met outside of the Quicksand, Thrandis approached Lili with the desire to have one of the freshly baked rolls she happened to have in a basket on her person. He followed her to the lane, where they fed some of the orphans and chatted. Since then they meet up now and again for pleasantries and conversation, with Lili recently agreeing to teach Thrandis how to read and write, which she never got to fulfill before his untimely demise.

''●''[[Titor Jaraba]]: An alchemist that Lili has seen around off and on through the work they both do helping those in Ul'dah with their regents and tonics. While not close, Lili has recently come to him about helping with research towards a cure for the illness her twin daughters share. The revelation of him sharing a similar condition has her feeling more at ease that he is going to assist, and plans to help him all she can.

''●''●[[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 interactions Lili has had with C'kayah had 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. His interaction with members of her Society did not help his case and now she more or less ignores his existance.

''●''[[Xydane Vale]]:A mysterious man Lili only met once in passing at the Botanist Guild. He was looking for a young woman ([[Clover Blake]]) and asked Lili to give her a bouquet of flowers should she ever find her. She ended up coming across him and Clover at random right in front of her house where the flowers were then delivered and food was given to them both. She finds him to be friendly enough, though a little sad.

●[[Zaiaku Kurai]]: Lili didn't think much of the man when they first met. But the moons worth of on again off again mind games and his attitude and actions against her son have made her positively hostile. It even led to a battle in which Zaiaku yielded and promised to leave Ado be. However, to this day she'd rather feed him to the dodos then look upon him longer then needed. This has only grown since he kidnapped her son Ado in exchange for her property and hand in marriage, though the little boy has since been returned safely to her and the marriage he desired never happened.

== 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 leaving the Society. While this happened, Lili remained firm in her decision to spend her future with the male. Life continued to change and though Lili and C'kayah eventually parted ways, she took the developments in stride and poured herself further into work. She then had moved Ado and herself into their company house with the hopes to one day get a home of their own.

In her pursuit of helping her employees who have also become her friends, Lili has done things she's not proud of. From keeping secrets to covering up misdeeds and misconduct, it's had the effect of loosening her sense of morals and made her more receptive to doing shadier dealings. Recently during a private ritual to save [[Kaohastraal Aeseroix]] from wasting away in decay, they acquired the body of a Garlean prisoner doomed for execution. Only after the ritual was complete when they removed his mask and robes did Lili see that it was none other then her supposedly deceased husband [[Ghislan Nightwing]]. While now possessing memories of both her friend and husband, it's left Lili in a very strange position both emotionally and legally. At the same time to add to the confusion, her relationship with [[Kaiten Skyborn]] has dwindled and her connection to [[Locke Rinannis]] has strengthened just as the Society made a move into a new house in the Lavender Beds!

'''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 new company house in the Lavender Beds, 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 and friends. Now that she's situated in her new life, she has been caught improving her relations with others in her company that she's spent time with or has aided.

=== 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 two years 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, 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 ===

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 has since dyed it a darker blonde that she intends to keep permanent. Her eyes are very light green with a silvery cast to the color to give it an unique, 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 strength it takes to wield her axe and fist weapons, and sun kissed 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. She has a surprisingly emotional and sensitive side that only a handful of people have been able to witness.

== 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.

''●''●[[Ghislan Nightwing]]: 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 mourned her first and only true love. However, during a series of events to give Kao a new body they came across a Garlean named Velstraz who was used as Kao's new host body. After the metaphorical smoke cleared, it was revealed to actually have been Ghislan who now was of body and mind with Lili's friend and employee. She steps awkwardly around the Highlander, still in shock and unsure how to take the revelation.

''●''[[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 ===

''●''[[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, and still finds her charming enough.

''●''[[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 he has since left the Society.

●[[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.

''●''[[Clover Blake]]: One of the Society's neighbors that lives just up the hill, Lili met the young woman in passing via [[Xydane Vale]]. She hasn't seen her since, but her shyness was endearing.

''●''[[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 pleasant 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 had the two walking on thin ice around one another, but things seemed to lead to a much more neutral standing before finally becoming more friendly before him and his fiance left to pursue work opportunities elsewhere.

''●''[[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 interactions with C'kayah and the Morbolvines, she's looked to the woman as a casual friend despite all of their differences and previous disputes. She was to C'kayah what Kaiten was to Lili, and during a walk through the Mists Lili found a placard claiming to be Kenthy and C'kayah's house and it caused an odd assortment of mixed feelings in her. She's avoided seeing her as a product of the discovery, at least for now.

''●''[[Kaiten Skyborn]]: Lili and this hyur were involved for some time back when Lili first started the Society. Having met in the Quicksand, their friendship quickly grew into a passionate, physical relationship that spanned longer then any involvement Lili had had since the parting of her late husband. He was her lover during the time her and [[C'kayah Tia]] were mated and engaged, and even after the relationship with the miqo'te ended they continued to be together. However, a confession of wanting to marry and have a life and family with Lili so soon after her and C'kayah ended had her shying away. Since then they've become more friends then lovers though she never sees him these days.

''●''[[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 admitted to having an interest in her, but she preferred to be friends over anything. After he joined the Free Wing Society, she began helping him with matters regarding his 'health', which led to a shocking turn of events...(See Family section above as "Ghislan Nightwing")

''●''[[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.

''●''[[Liandri Mei]]: One of Lili's employees and a spunky redheaded miqo'te who likes to drink. While dabbling in things Void related, Lili tries her best to protect the woman and her secrets from behind the scenes.

''●''[[Liliana Nazareth]]: A young mother who looks like Lili from bust size to hair color to profile and even eyes (save the color). While their similarities have gotten the two confused for one another in the past, the news of her 'death' has led Lili to trying to find answers when she can.

♥●[[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. The more time Lili has spent with him the more affectionate she had become, as well as trusting of him. He's shared many secrets with her, all of which she keeps to herself. Their relationship has gradually grown out of the public eye, but it doesn't seem to affect their business relationship. Now a days, they are openly affectionate with one another even around other people and Lili seems quite smitten with the younger blonde. Recently he has proposed and the two are now engaged.

''●''[[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 back story to keep her eye on the girl when she's able to, and to try and guide harm out of her way.

''●''[[Nymira Valeroyant]]: Once a Society member, Nymira also helped Lili look after its affairs and members, though she hasn't seen or heard from the woman since her and Kage left to work else where.

''●''[[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 an easy 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 his related associates.

''●''[[Thrandis Dale]]: Having met outside of the Quicksand, Thrandis approached Lili with the desire to have one of the freshly baked rolls she happened to have in a basket on her person. He followed her to the lane, where they fed some of the orphans and chatted. Since then they meet up now and again for pleasantries and conversation, with Lili recently agreeing to teach Thrandis how to read and write, which she never got to fulfill before his untimely demise.

''●''[[Titor Jaraba]]: An alchemist that Lili has seen around off and on through the work they both do helping those in Ul'dah with their regents and tonics. While not close, Lili has recently come to him about helping with research towards a cure for the illness her twin daughters share. The revelation of him sharing a similar condition has her feeling more at ease that he is going to assist, and plans to help him all she can.

''●''●[[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 interactions Lili has had with C'kayah had 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. His interaction with members of her Society did not help his case and now she more or less ignores his existance.

''●''[[Xydane Vale]]:A mysterious man Lili only met once in passing at the Botanist Guild. He was looking for a young woman ([[Clover Blake]]) and asked Lili to give her a bouquet of flowers should she ever find her. She ended up coming across him and Clover at random right in front of her house where the flowers were then delivered and food was given to them both. She finds him to be friendly enough, though a little sad.

●[[Zaiaku Kurai]]: Lili didn't think much of the man when they first met. But the moons worth of on again off again mind games and his attitude and actions against her son have made her positively hostile. It even led to a battle in which Zaiaku yielded and promised to leave Ado be. However, to this day she'd rather feed him to the dodos then look upon him longer then needed. This has only grown since he kidnapped her son Ado in exchange for her property and hand in marriage, though the little boy has since been returned safely to her and the marriage he desired never happened.

== 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 leaving the Society. While this happened, Lili remained firm in her decision to spend her future with the male. Life continued to change and though Lili and C'kayah eventually parted ways, she took the developments in stride and poured herself further into work. She then had moved Ado and herself into their company house with the hopes to one day get a home of their own.

In her pursuit of helping her employees who have also become her friends, Lili has done things she's not proud of. From keeping secrets to covering up misdeeds and misconduct, it's had the effect of loosening her sense of morals and made her more receptive to doing shadier dealings. Recently during a private ritual to save [[Kaohastraal Aeseroix]] from wasting away in decay, they acquired the body of a Garlean prisoner doomed for execution. Only after the ritual was complete when they removed his mask and robes did Lili see that it was none other then her supposedly deceased husband [[Ghislan Nightwing]]. While now possessing memories of both her friend and husband, it's left Lili in a very strange position both emotionally and legally. At the same time to add to the confusion, her relationship with [[Kaiten Skyborn]] has dwindled and her connection to [[Locke Rinannis]] has strengthened just as the Society made a move into a new house in the Lavender Beds!

'''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 new company house in the Lavender Beds, 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 and friends. Now that she's situated in her new life, she has been caught improving her relations with others in her company that she's spent time with or has aided.

:- 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! You can reach me in game or on Skype (Lili Hoppit!)! 
:-I'm very big on OOC communication to help organize RP or to solve problems. Seriously, if ever you have an issue with something in regards to the RP, shoot me a tell. I want people to enjoy RP with me as much as possible. :)

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

Gis is small, even for a lalafell, but moves with the confidence of someone with nothing to fear. If there is anything she does fear, she always meets it head on with her battle cry of "GRAA". She delights in explaining to people what this graa means, gathering riches, and looking after her brother Annie. Her partner Avlili tends to be the one that looks after her, acting as a moral compass to ensure Gis does not go too far in her quest for riches. Despite her tendency towards greed, Gis is not an uncaring person, though she does tend to phrase herself rather bluntly when attempting to comfort someone.

She always refers to herself, and frequently others, in third person. At this point most people know better than to question why.

=== 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 two years 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, 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 ===

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 has since dyed it a darker blonde that she intends to keep permanent. Her eyes are very light green with a silvery cast to the color to give it an unique, 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 strength it takes to wield her axe and fist weapons, and sun kissed from her years by the shores of Limsa or the sands of Ul'dah.

(Sketch credit to Whisper Delacroix on Gilgamesh i.e. Airhianna on D.A!)

[[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. She has a surprisingly emotional and sensitive side that only a handful of people have been able to witness.

== 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]]: 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 mourned her first and only true love. However, during a series of events to give Kao a new body they came across a Garlean named Velstraz who was used as Kao's new host body. After the metaphorical smoke cleared, it was revealed to actually have been Ghislan who now was of body and mind with Lili's friend and employee. She steps awkwardly around the Highlander, still in shock and unsure how to take the revelation.

''●''[[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 ===

''●''[[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, and still finds her charming enough.

''●''[[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 he has since left the Society.

●[[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.

''●''[[Clover Blake]]: One of the Society's neighbors that lives just up the hill, Lili met the young woman in passing via [[Xydane Vale]]. She hasn't seen her since, but her shyness was endearing.

''●''[[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 pleasant 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 had the two walking on thin ice around one another, but things seemed to lead to a much more neutral standing before finally becoming more friendly before him and his fiance left to pursue work opportunities elsewhere.

''●''[[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 interactions with C'kayah and the Morbolvines, she's looked to the woman as a casual friend despite all of their differences and previous disputes. She was to C'kayah what Kaiten was to Lili, and during a walk through the Mists Lili found a placard claiming to be Kenthy and C'kayah's house and it caused an odd assortment of mixed feelings in her. She's avoided seeing her as a product of the discovery, at least for now.

''●''[[Kaiten Skyborn]]: Lili and this hyur were involved for some time back when Lili first started the Society. Having met in the Quicksand, their friendship quickly grew into a passionate, physical relationship that spanned longer then any involvement Lili had had since the parting of her late husband. He was her lover during the time her and [[C'kayah Tia]] were mated and engaged, and even after the relationship with the miqo'te ended they continued to be together. However, a confession of wanting to marry and have a life and family with Lili so soon after her and C'kayah ended had her shying away. Since then they've become more friends then lovers though she never sees him these days.

''●''[[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 admitted to having an interest in her, but she preferred to be friends over anything. After he joined the Free Wing Society, she began helping him with matters regarding his 'health', which led to a shocking turn of events...(See Family section above as "Ghislan Nightwing")

''●''[[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.

''●''[[Liandri Mei]]: One of Lili's employees and a spunky redheaded miqo'te who likes to drink. While dabbling in things Void related, Lili tries her best to protect the woman and her secrets from behind the scenes.

''●''[[Liliana Nazareth]]: A young mother who looks like Lili from bust size to hair color to profile and even eyes (save the color). While their similarities have gotten the two confused for one another in the past, the news of her 'death' has led Lili to trying to find answers when she can.

♥●[[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. The more time Lili has spent with him the more affectionate she had become, as well as trusting of him. He's shared many secrets with her, all of which she keeps to herself. Their relationship has gradually grown out of the public eye, but it doesn't seem to affect their business relationship. Now a days, they are openly affectionate with one another even around other people and Lili seems quite smitten with the younger blonde.

''●''[[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 back story to keep her eye on the girl when she's able to, and to try and guide harm out of her way.

''●''[[Nymira Valeroyant]]: Once a Society member, Nymira also helped Lili look after its affairs and members, though she hasn't seen or heard from the woman since her and Kage left to work else where.

''●''[[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 an easy 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 his related associates.

''●''[[Thrandis Dale]]: Having met outside of the Quicksand, Thrandis approached Lili with the desire to have one of the freshly baked rolls she happened to have in a basket on her person. He followed her to the lane, where they fed some of the orphans and chatted. Since then they meet up now and again for pleasantries and conversation, with Lili recently agreeing to teach Thrandis how to read and write, which she never got to fulfill before his untimely demise.

''●''[[Titor Jaraba]]: An alchemist that Lili has seen around off and on through the work they both do helping those in Ul'dah with their regents and tonics. While not close, Lili has recently come to him about helping with research towards a cure for the illness her twin daughters share. The revelation of him sharing a similar condition has her feeling more at ease that he is going to assist, and plans to help him all she can.

''●''●[[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 interactions Lili has had with C'kayah had 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. His interaction with members of her Society did not help his case and now she more or less ignores his existance.

''●''[[Xydane Vale]]:A mysterious man Lili only met once in passing at the Botanist Guild. He was looking for a young woman ([[Clover Blake]]) and asked Lili to give her a bouquet of flowers should she ever find her. She ended up coming across him and Clover at random right in front of her house where the flowers were then delivered and food was given to them both. She finds him to be friendly enough, though a little sad.

●[[Zaiaku Kurai]]: Lili didn't think much of the man when they first met. But the moons worth of on again off again mind games and his attitude and actions against her son have made her positively hostile. It even led to a battle in which Zaiaku yielded and promised to leave Ado be. However, to this day she'd rather feed him to the dodos then look upon him longer then needed. This has only grown since he kidnapped her son Ado in exchange for her property and hand in marriage, though the little boy has since been returned safely to her and the marriage he desired never happened.

== 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 leaving the Society. While this happened, Lili remained firm in her decision to spend her future with the male. Life continued to change and though Lili and C'kayah eventually parted ways, she took the developments in stride and poured herself further into work. She then had moved Ado and herself into their company house with the hopes to one day get a home of their own.

In her pursuit of helping her employees who have also become her friends, Lili has done things she's not proud of. From keeping secrets to covering up misdeeds and misconduct, it's had the effect of loosening her sense of morals and made her more receptive to doing shadier dealings. Recently during a private ritual to save [[Kaohastraal Aeseroix]] from wasting away in decay, they acquired the body of a Garlean prisoner doomed for execution. Only after the ritual was complete when they removed his mask and robes did Lili see that it was none other then her supposedly deceased husband [[Ghislan Nightwing]]. While now possessing memories of both her friend and husband, it's left Lili in a very strange position both emotionally and legally. At the same time to add to the confusion, her relationship with [[Kaiten Skyborn]] has dwindled and her connection to [[Locke Rinannis]] has strengthened just as the Society made a move into a new house in the Lavender Beds!

'''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 new company house in the Lavender Beds, 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 and friends. Now that she's situated in her new life, she has been caught improving her relations with others in her company that she's spent time with or has aided.

=== 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 two years 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, 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 ===

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 has since dyed it a darker blonde that she intends to keep permanent. Her eyes are very light green with a silvery cast to the color to give it an unique, 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 strength it takes to wield her axe and fist weapons, and sun kissed 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. She has a surprisingly emotional and sensitive side that only a handful of people have been able to witness.

== 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.

''●''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 ===

''●''[[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, and still finds her charming enough.

''●''[[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 he has since left the Society.

●[[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.

''●''[[Clover Blake]]: One of the Society's neighbors that lives just up the hill, Lili met the young woman in passing via [[Xydane Vale]]. She hasn't seen her since, but her shyness was endearing.

''●''[[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 pleasant 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 had the two walking on thin ice around one another, but things seemed to lead to a much more neutral standing before finally becoming more friendly before him and his fiance left to pursue work opportunities elsewhere.

''●''[[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 interactions with C'kayah and the Morbolvines, she's looked to the woman as a casual friend despite all of their differences and previous disputes. She was to C'kayah what Kaiten was to Lili, and during a walk through the Mists Lili found a placard claiming to be Kenthy and C'kayah's house and it caused an odd assortment of mixed feelings in her. She's avoided seeing her as a product of the discovery, at least for now.

''●''[[Kaiten Skyborn]]: Lili and this hyur were involved for some time back when Lili first started the Society. Having met in the Quicksand, their friendship quickly grew into a passionate, physical relationship that spanned longer then any involvement Lili had had since the parting of her late husband. He was her lover during the time her and [[C'kayah Tia]] were mated and engaged, and even after the relationship with the miqo'te ended they continued to be together. However, a confession of wanting to marry and have a life and family with Lili so soon after her and C'kayah ended had her shying away. Since then they've become more friends then lovers though she never sees him these days.

''●''[[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 admitted to having an interest in her, but she preferred to be friends over anything. After he joined the Free Wing Society, she began helping him with matters regarding his 'health', which led to a shocking turn of events...(See Family section above as "Ghislan Nightwing")

''●''[[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.

''●''[[Liandri Mei]]: One of Lili's employees and a spunky redheaded miqo'te who likes to drink. While dabbling in things Void related, Lili tries her best to protect the woman and her secrets from behind the scenes.

''●''[[Liliana Nazareth]]: A young mother who looks like Lili from bust size to hair color to profile and even eyes (save the color). While their similarities have gotten the two confused for one another in the past, the news of her 'death' has led Lili to trying to find answers when she can.

♥●[[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. The more time Lili has spent with him the more affectionate she had become, as well as trusting of him. He's shared many secrets with her, all of which she keeps to herself. Their relationship has gradually grown out of the public eye, but it doesn't seem to affect their business relationship. Now a days, they are openly affectionate with one another even around other people and Lili seems quite smitten with the younger blonde.

''●''[[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 back story to keep her eye on the girl when she's able to, and to try and guide harm out of her way.

''●''[[Nymira Valeroyant]]: Once a Society member, Nymira also helped Lili look after its affairs and members, though she hasn't seen or heard from the woman since her and Kage left to work else where.

''●''[[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 an easy 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 his related associates.

''●''[[Thrandis Dale]]: Having met outside of the Quicksand, Thrandis approached Lili with the desire to have one of the freshly baked rolls she happened to have in a basket on her person. He followed her to the lane, where they fed some of the orphans and chatted. Since then they meet up now and again for pleasantries and conversation, with Lili recently agreeing to teach Thrandis how to read and write, which she never got to fulfill before his untimely demise.

''●''[[Titor Jaraba]]: An alchemist that Lili has seen around off and on through the work they both do helping those in Ul'dah with their regents and tonics. While not close, Lili has recently come to him about helping with research towards a cure for the illness her twin daughters share. The revelation of him sharing a similar condition has her feeling more at ease that he is going to assist, and plans to help him all she can.

''●''●[[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 interactions Lili has had with C'kayah had 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. His interaction with members of her Society did not help his case and now she more or less ignores his existance.

●[[Xydane Vale]]: A mysterious man Lili only met once in passing at the Botanist Guild. He was looking for a young woman ([[Clover Blake]]) and asked Lili to give her a bouquet of flowers should she ever find her. Since then, she hasn't seen him again nor found the girl he was looking for.

●[[Zaiaku Kurai]]: Lili didn't think much of the man when they first met. But the moons worth of on again off again mind games and his attitude and actions against her son have made her positively hostile. It even led to a battle in which Zaiaku yielded and promised to leave Ado be. However, to this day she'd rather feed him to the dodos then look upon him longer then needed. This has only grown since he kidnapped her son Ado in exchange for her property and hand in marriage, though the little boy has since been returned safely to her.

== 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 leaving the Society. While this happened, Lili remained firm in her decision to spend her future with the male. Life continued to change and though Lili and C'kayah eventually parted ways, she took the developments in stride and poured herself further into work. She then had moved Ado and herself into their company house with the hopes to one day get a home of their own.

In her pursuit of helping her employees who have also become her friends, Lili has done things she's not proud of. From keeping secrets to covering up misdeeds and misconduct, it's had the effect of loosening her sense of morals and made her more receptive to doing shadier dealings. Recently during a private ritual to save [[Kaohastraal Aeseroix]] from wasting away in decay, they acquired the body of a Garlean prisoner doomed for execution. Only after the ritual was complete when they removed his mask and robes did Lili see that it was none other then her supposedly deceased husband [[Ghislan Nightwing]]. While now possessing memories of both her friend and husband, it's left Lili in a very strange position both emotionally and legally. At the same time to add to the confusion, her relationship with [[Kaiten Skyborn]] has dwindled and her connection to [[Locke Rinannis]] has strengthened just as the Society made a move into a new house in the Lavender Beds!

'''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 new company house in the Lavender Beds, 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 and friends. Now that she's situated in her new life, she has been caught improving her relations with others in her company that she's spent time with or has aided.

:- 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! You can reach me in game or on Skype (Lili Hoppit!)! 
:-I'm very big on OOC communication to help organize RP or to solve problems. Seriously, if ever you have an issue with something in regards to the RP, shoot me a tell. I want people to enjoy RP with me as much as possible. :)

=== 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 two years 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, 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 ===

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 has since dyed it a darker blonde that she intends to keep permanent. Her eyes are very light green with a silvery cast to the color to give it an unique, 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 strength it takes to wield her axe and fist weapons, and sun kissed 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. She has a surprisingly emotional and sensitive side that only a handful of people have been able to witness.

== 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]]: 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 mourned her first and only true love. However, during a series of events to give Kao a new body they came across a Garlean named Velstraz who was used as Kao's new host body. After the metaphorical smoke cleared, it was revealed to actually have been Ghislan who now was of body and mind with Lili's friend and employee. She steps awkwardly around the Highlander, still in shock and unsure how to take the revelation.

''●''[[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 ===

''●''[[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, and still finds her charming enough.

''●''[[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 he has since left the Society.

●[[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.

''●''[[Clover Blake]]: One of the Society's neighbors that lives just up the hill, Lili met the young woman in passing via [[Xydane Vale]]. She hasn't seen her since, but her shyness was endearing.

''●''[[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 pleasant 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 had the two walking on thin ice around one another, but things seemed to lead to a much more neutral standing before finally becoming more friendly before him and his fiance left to pursue work opportunities elsewhere.

''●''[[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 interactions with C'kayah and the Morbolvines, she's looked to the woman as a casual friend despite all of their differences and previous disputes. She was to C'kayah what Kaiten was to Lili, and during a walk through the Mists Lili found a placard claiming to be Kenthy and C'kayah's house and it caused an odd assortment of mixed feelings in her. She's avoided seeing her as a product of the discovery, at least for now.

''●''[[Kaiten Skyborn]]: Lili and this hyur were involved for some time back when Lili first started the Society. Having met in the Quicksand, their friendship quickly grew into a passionate, physical relationship that spanned longer then any involvement Lili had had since the parting of her late husband. He was her lover during the time her and [[C'kayah Tia]] were mated and engaged, and even after the relationship with the miqo'te ended they continued to be together. However, a confession of wanting to marry and have a life and family with Lili so soon after her and C'kayah ended had her shying away. Since then they've become more friends then lovers though she never sees him these days.

''●''[[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 admitted to having an interest in her, but she preferred to be friends over anything. After he joined the Free Wing Society, she began helping him with matters regarding his 'health', which led to a shocking turn of events...(See Family section above as "Ghislan Nightwing")

''●''[[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.

''●''[[Liandri Mei]]: One of Lili's employees and a spunky redheaded miqo'te who likes to drink. While dabbling in things Void related, Lili tries her best to protect the woman and her secrets from behind the scenes.

''●''[[Liliana Nazareth]]: A young mother who looks like Lili from bust size to hair color to profile and even eyes (save the color). While their similarities have gotten the two confused for one another in the past, the news of her 'death' has led Lili to trying to find answers when she can.

♥●[[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. The more time Lili has spent with him the more affectionate she had become, as well as trusting of him. He's shared many secrets with her, all of which she keeps to herself. Their relationship has gradually grown out of the public eye, but it doesn't seem to affect their business relationship. Now a days, they are openly affectionate with one another even around other people and Lili seems quite smitten with the younger blonde.

''●''[[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 back story to keep her eye on the girl when she's able to, and to try and guide harm out of her way.

''●''[[Nymira Valeroyant]]: Once a Society member, Nymira also helped Lili look after its affairs and members, though she hasn't seen or heard from the woman since her and Kage left to work else where.

''●''[[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 an easy 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 his related associates.

''●''[[Thrandis Dale]]: Having met outside of the Quicksand, Thrandis approached Lili with the desire to have one of the freshly baked rolls she happened to have in a basket on her person. He followed her to the lane, where they fed some of the orphans and chatted. Since then they meet up now and again for pleasantries and conversation, with Lili recently agreeing to teach Thrandis how to read and write, which she never got to fulfill before his untimely demise.

''●''●[[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 interactions Lili has had with C'kayah had 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. His interaction with members of her Society did not help his case and now she more or less ignores his existance.

●[[Xydane Vale]]: A mysterious man Lili only met once in passing at the Botanist Guild. He was looking for a young woman ([[Clover Blake]]) and asked Lili to give her a bouquet of flowers should she ever find her. Since then, she hasn't seen him again nor found the girl he was looking for.

●[[Zaiaku Kurai]]: Lili didn't think much of the man when they first met. But the moons worth of on again off again mind games and his attitude and actions against her son have made her positively hostile. It even led to a battle in which Zaiaku yielded and promised to leave Ado be. However, to this day she'd rather feed him to the dodos then look upon him longer then needed. This has only grown since he kidnapped her son Ado in exchange for her property and hand in marriage, though the little boy has since been returned safely to her.

== 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 leaving the Society. While this happened, Lili remained firm in her decision to spend her future with the male. Life continued to change and though Lili and C'kayah eventually parted ways, she took the developments in stride and poured herself further into work. She then had moved Ado and herself into their company house with the hopes to one day get a home of their own.

In her pursuit of helping her employees who have also become her friends, Lili has done things she's not proud of. From keeping secrets to covering up misdeeds and misconduct, it's had the effect of loosening her sense of morals and made her more receptive to doing shadier dealings. Recently during a private ritual to save [[Kaohastraal Aeseroix]] from wasting away in decay, they acquired the body of a Garlean prisoner doomed for execution. Only after the ritual was complete when they removed his mask and robes did Lili see that it was none other then her supposedly deceased husband [[Ghislan Nightwing]]. While now possessing memories of both her friend and husband, it's left Lili in a very strange position both emotionally and legally. At the same time to add to the confusion, her relationship with [[Kaiten Skyborn]] has dwindled and her connection to [[Locke Rinannis]] has strengthened just as the Society made a move into a new house in the Lavender Beds!

'''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 new company house in the Lavender Beds, 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 and friends. Now that she's situated in her new life, she has been caught improving her relations with others in her company that she's spent time with or has aided.

'''Coatleque Crofte''' (pronounced cottl-ee-kay) is, by her knowledge, the only remaining survivor of her
fishing village from the north. Her life has been hard since the Calamity, but she is slowly working to piece it
back together and raise her station.

==<div style="background: Silver; border: 1px solid DimGrey; border-radius: 0 1em 1em 0; box-shadow: 0 1px 2px 0 black; display: inline-block; font-variant: small-caps; padding: 0.25em 1em; text-shadow: DimGrey 0.05em 0.05em 0.05em; width: 92%;">''General''</div>==

Coatleque tries to appear and act like a proper lady at all times. She will often be found in and around Ul'dah as she is unable to stray very far due to her duties as a Sultansworn. She is a chronic workaholic, and will almost always be found in uniform. She considers this to be her only proof of station within the city and takes her position very seriously.

While most people around the city can easily see her in the role of a knight, to any true noble it would be blatantly clear that she is not of their blood. While on duty she acts with the utmost respect and exudes the authoritative presence one would expect of the Sultansworn. When off-duty, she will always be dressed well with her hair made up, often with a hat of some sort.

She had been shy in her past as the responsibility of the Gallantry was first laid upon her, but since then she has grown into the position. She is not one to begin a conversation, but she can certainly end one if it is called for. Her speech is slow and practiced unless something has upset or distracted her. In these moments her Ala'Mhigan origins will show through.

==<div style="background: Silver; border: 1px solid DimGrey; border-radius: 0 1em 1em 0; box-shadow: 0 1px 2px 0 black; display: inline-block; font-variant: small-caps; padding: 0.25em 1em; text-shadow: DimGrey 0.05em 0.05em 0.05em; width: 92%;">''Education / Job History''</div>==
[[File:Coatleque_Crofte_4.jpg|250px|left]]
Coatleque did not have any formal education when she arrived in Ul'dah. Being the daughter of a fisherman, she knew how to cook, clean, and gut fish. She spoke with a heavy Ala'Mhighan accent and poorly at that. Due, however, to her circumstances (See Background), she was forced to learn quickly or else she would not have survived.

As of now she is able to read, write, and can speak slowly and eloquently as long as she is focused on her speech. She has basic knowledge of a myriad of useless skills which she had to learn, the more important of those being slight of hand and picking simple locks. Anything more than those of typical shackles would be beyond her skill.

The majority of her formal learning is that of swordplay from her training in the Sultansworn Order. While she was certainly not the best of her class, she did excel quickly at it and earned a few nicknames due to her two-handed fighting style that tended to leave her practice mates with sprained wrists.

==<div style="background: Silver; border: 1px solid DimGrey; border-radius: 0 1em 1em 0; box-shadow: 0 1px 2px 0 black; display: inline-block; font-variant: small-caps; padding: 0.25em 1em; text-shadow: DimGrey 0.05em 0.05em 0.05em; width: 92%;">''Spirituality''</div>==

A firm believer in the Twelve, Coatleque relies on them for strength and guidance. She will not push her
beliefs on others however. She simply does not understand how some could so blatantly ignore the truths that
she feels are so evident in the world around her.

She used to pray to Menphina the most, in private, as she felt she has committed some slight against the
Lover which had placed a curse upon her life that dooms any meaningful relationship to fail or be ripped from her.
Recently, she has adopted Rhalgr, the god of her homeland, as her patron. This was spurred on by her most
recent relationship failure, as well as the death of a close friend. These events made her realize she can
no longer remain on neutral ground where politics and justice collide.

She is also closely tied to Nymeia, whom she believes places portents of things to come in the dreams of
those who are destined to change them.

==<div style="background: Silver; border: 1px solid DimGrey; border-radius: 0 1em 1em 0; box-shadow: 0 1px 2px 0 black; display: inline-block; font-variant: small-caps; padding: 0.25em 1em; text-shadow: DimGrey 0.05em 0.05em 0.05em; width: 92%;">''Combat - Views & Behavior''</div>==
[[File:Crofte_Sideglance.png|200px|right]]
Coatleque has no martial prowess other than that of the sword. She has three blades, but will only carry one at a time depending on her duties for the day. Her main weapon of choice is a large hand-and-a-half sword which she had commissioned for herself using all of her current stipend from the Sultansworn after she swore her Oath. It is the only thing of true worth she owns herself.

Her skill with the sword is every bit of that which one would expect from the Sultana's Elite guard, though she is no grandmaster. Her style is one of mobility and brute force. She focuses on dodging attacks while exploiting openings in defense, and therefore will not favor a shield in combat. It is rumored that a full on hit from her blade when wielded with two hands is enough to split a wooden shield, or shatter the victim's arm if it is metal.

It is just as well that she has no love of combat and views all life as sacred. She very rarely spars with any live opponents, preferring the safety of a training dummy. If drawn into actual combat, she strikes only to disarm and subdue. If she ever lashes out to kill it would be out of fear for the lives of those in her care, or for her own safety.

==<div style="background: Silver; border: 1px solid DimGrey; border-radius: 0 1em 1em 0; box-shadow: 0 1px 2px 0 black; display: inline-block; font-variant: small-caps; padding: 0.25em 1em; text-shadow: DimGrey 0.05em 0.05em 0.05em; width: 92%;">''Healing and Aether - Views & Abilities''</div>==

While it is true that Coatleque has some minor training in Conjuration, she was never very adept at the concept.
She finds it hard to focus, especially in times of stress, which is not a particularly good trait for someone
attempting to heal others. She does know how to heal and even to raise. The former is very taxing on her, while
the latter will leave her exhausted to the point of being momentarily incapacitated.

Her ability to use aether is otherwise unaffected. Her Paladin training has shown that she is able to channel the
required aether through herself as if it were second nature. Defensive spells and offensive sword skills she can
use with ease. Her difficulty stems from when another person is her target.

==<div style="background: Silver; border: 1px solid DimGrey; border-radius: 0 1em 1em 0; box-shadow: 0 1px 2px 0 black; display: inline-block; font-variant: small-caps; padding: 0.25em 1em; text-shadow: DimGrey 0.05em 0.05em 0.05em; width: 92%;">''Background''</div>==
There was a time when Coatleque was dead-set against speaking of her own background and life before joining the Sultansworn. Even today she is hesitant to share any details with those she does not know. In her line of work, however, she has found there are times when it helps to share certain details to prove she is no better than the criminals she is forced to deal with. People tend to open up slightly when they see each other on common ground.
<hr/>
Birth and Early Life: <spoiler>
Coatleque is from a remote fishing village at the Southern tip of Ala'Mhigo, the beaches of Gyr'Abania. Born with the name Florence Fishbane after the empire's invasion, this makes her Garlean by birth alone if not for location. Built on the coast and of little importance, the village eked out a meagre existence far from the city-state itself. She was a typical country girl, the daughter of a fisherman with no special skills or talents. She spent her youth helping her mother cooking, cleaning, and gutting fish for her father. To this day she cannot bear the taste of seafood. When she came of age, her parents began the process of arranging her to be bonded to the miller's son. A quiet life she was honestly looking forward to.

When Dalamund came raining down, a rather large chunk of it fell to the ocean just off the coast of the villiage itself. The resulting tidal wave destroyed the village and swept away a majority of its inhabitants. Those who survived had fled to the old military outpost built into the cliffs just above the shore. Not even a week later, still in mourning, brigands from the mountains came looking to make quick coin off the salvage from the wreckage. Florence watched in horror as her fiancée was killed and cried out which gave away their position. What villagers were left were captured or killed as they tried to flee. She has never forgiven herself for this, which she considers the single greatest mistake of her life.</spoiler>

Enslavement in Ul'dah: <spoiler>
They were carted off in rags and taken by cover of night to Ul'dah first. The leader of the brigands, Cadmus, was an experienced slaver who knew he could exploit the women and especially Florence for a certain quality she had. She was sold to Dace Korlon, proprietor of the Red Sands - an expensive brothel in one of the less frequented parts of Pearl Lane. There she remained for three long years of forced service as a high-class whore.

She would not have survived her ordeal if not for the kindness of another slave girl, a Miqo'te Seeker called Sapphire due to her deep purple eyes. Sapphire was the longest surviving slave girl at the time and had the Master's favor, being in charge of the other slave girls. She took pity on Florence and often came to her room at night to talk and teach her how to survive. It was Sapphire who gave her the name Coatleque because of her exotic red hair. The purpose being that Florence could pin all the wicked things she had been forced to do on Coatleque, then leave the name behind if the Twelve ever granted her freedom again.

It was Sapphire who taught Coatleque how to read and write, how to speak properly like a lady. How to dress, wear make-up and to look the part. Their clients demanded such from their higher-class girls after all. Sapphire also taught her how to perform simple dances, how to pick locks so they could walk freely at night, and simple tricks of slight-of-hand. The Master expected them to ply their trade to the fullest extent possible, after all, and many a nobleman left with their pockets much lighter than intended.

It was near the end of her imprisonment that Sapphire came to her one night looking very distraught. It seemed she had stolen something from a very influential client. Something she should not have. Despite the Master's insistence that she did well, she feared for her own life and new it was time to leave. Having swiped a key from Dace's room and bribed the guard for the night, she intended to leave and return to her tribe. It was then that she told Coatleque her real name, F'lierre, and the two knew they may never see each other again.

Not one moon after their emotional departure, the Brass Blades descended upon the Red Sands in a false-front raid to 'end slave trafficking'. What Coatleque later found was that F'lierre had stolen a forged signet ring of the house of Ul and the Syndicate was none too happy at its loss. The Blades ransacked the building, set it ablaze, and killed anyone who got in their way. Among the confusion, Coatleque managed to help as many girls as she could escape through the sewers. The next morning many of them saw their first sunrise in years once more as free women.</spoiler>

====<div style="margin: 0.5em; padding: 0em 1em;">Family & Personal Life</div>====

Her family was either killed by the tidal wave that destroyed her village, or captured by brigands in the wake
of the Calamity. She has not heard from anyone in over five years and has all but given up hope of contacting them.

Coatleque appears to be all business on the outside. She will rarely joke, dresses conservatively, and does
not show much outward emotion. Inside, however, she considers her friends very dear to her. She values life and
treats all with the respect they show themselves to deserve.

She is attracted to strength and confidence. She needs to be assured she will be safe and protected, but not
coddled and sheltered. While her recent past has forced her to bed both men and women, she would say the latter was
not her choice. She longs for the life she was denied, to marry and raise her own family away from the bustle and
dangers of city life.

This is a fairly exhaustive list of everyone that Coatleque knows in-game. I only add names to this list if more than two words have ever been said between her and them. If your name is not here and you think it should be, please send me a PM or a tell in-game. Coatleque knows so many people now, I may have just forgotten to add you!

[[File:cc_hs_aya.png|50px|right]]
The always lovely bar maid of the Quicksand. The nights she is working just seem to pass too quickly. She never did tell Coatleque her last name, so the Knight simply calls her Miss Aya. Her constant kindness towards the Knight has caused Coatleque to take pause. She considers her a friend now, more than an acquaintance, and would try to keep her at length from the troubles of the city. The words Aya has offered as well as the quiet tea times they share have allowed Coatleque to relax on occasion, and take stock of what is truly important to her.</td>

Bartolomeo was the first of her comrades she was assigned to work with. Together they served the Harbingers of Dawn, though only briefly. Since their departure, Bartolomeo has been rather aloof. Recently, Ser Filangieri has decided to leave the Order of the Sultansworn over matters of personal honor. Coatleque does not agree with his decision, but holds no ill feelings against him.</td>

After an unexpected and open conversation behind the Quicksand, Coatleque thought she had some common ground with the man. Unfortunately, certain other events have left her questioning his sense of honour. While she can understand his reasons, she is loathe to condone them.

A personal servant of the Syndicate and man of no small power in Ul'dah. Coatleque has been sure to tread lightly around this man, all the while attempting to gain some measure of trust from him. While others find him insufferable, she at least is able to speak to him on his own level, as a nobleman of the City-State. She would not go so far as to trust the man, but neither is she able to discount the few good things he has done for Ul'dah. Having been forced to work with him on a closer level lately, she can no longer deny the extent of the power he wields within the Sultanate.</td>

Coatleque met Jancis in Gridania just after the Knight had left Ul'dah to take up Conjuration. She was at first a fellow student, though already more advanced, and later became a close friend. Coatleque trusted her and eventually they became like sisters. Unfortunately, Crofte was unable to show nearly the same prowess at healing and decided to leave and return to Ul'dah. They continue to remain in contact, however. While Coatleque is busy with her duties in Thanalan, Jancis continues to roam Eorzea freely offering help to others.

He was instrumental in tracking down The Rose and obtaining a redacted statement of Roen's spy allegations.

The two share a surprising amount of ideals when it comes to the welfare of their City, but differ entirely on how things should be accomplished. He has given her needed insight into the Monetarist's and she has tried to be as forthcoming with her Royalist views. For what it is worth, she would trust him at her back.</td>

Never before was there a more perfect example of comedic tragedy such as Natalie Mcbeef. The Miqo'te was a walking disaster with a good heart who Nymeia conspired against almost daily. While the two of them had begun their relationship in bitter conflict, over the course of their work they had grown to respect each other for the roles they each played in the security of the city-state. Natalie was eventually killed in action during a botched raid on La Noscean soil. Coatleque feels partly responsible as she was present to try and avoid that very thing from happening. No matter what people may think about Natalie Mcbeef, Coatleque will stand and defend her as a virtuous and upstanding Sultansworn who gave her life to protect the Sultanate.</td>

(New Events at Top, but some may relate to others. All will be updated as things proceed)

Current Plotlines (in Progress):
<spoiler>
:The Comming Storm: 
::*Unrest has been growing between the Syndicate and the actions of a small Pirate fleet led by Nero Lazarov. The man has been harassing Ul'dahn trade routes by sea, stifling trade, depriving the rich of their income. Jameson Taeros has been assigned to deal with the issue once and for all. 
::*Natalie has made her position known to Coatleque, that she would side with Jameson for the good of Ul'dah. She drilled Nero's first mate for information before executing him in the Sultansworn's political prison. Coatleque was not present, and did not know about it until after the fact due to her 'dealing' with her relationship woes at the time. 
::*Natalie and Taeros both have confronted Coatleque to try and pressure her to join them. The Knight has remained neutral in this to date, seeing it as a political matter rather than one of National Security. She is reluctant to get involved in the man hunt, for Roen's sake more than anything else. Her friendship with Natalie has only been more strained over this turn of events. She may need to chose a side soon. 
::*After a botched attempt to gather information on Nero, Natalie Mcbeef has been slain. This turn of events has seemingly shaken the city to its core. Coatleque can no longer remain neutral in her dealings now after her involvement in the raid. She awaits both judgement from her Captain, and the ire of Jameson Taeros if he is implicated. 
::*Captain Jenlyns has proved to be more understanding than Coatleque thought. Her time is, however, short as the Maelstrom will eventually follow the clues back to Ul'dah. She now needs to prove that Nero Lazarov is a threat to both nations so the Admiral will also see the raid as necessary. 
::*After touching base with her contact Brynnalia, under Taeros's employ, Coatleque begins to make plans to raid the address found at the warehouse and hopefully draw closer to Nero. Jameson once again attempted to buy her loyalty and pressure her to betray her friend Roen. Instead she sacrificed her own dignity, spending the night with Jameson to distract him from the girls trail. She intends now to keep him distracted for as long as she is able to give Roen time to act. 

:I'll scratch your back: 
::*Coatleque's friend Jancis has requested her help in dealing with another friend who is addicted to the drug Somnus. 
::*The Knight has made a deal with the crime lord C'Kayah to secure a parcel of Somnus for Jancis to experiment with. In return, C'Kayah has asked for Brass Blade immunity for Aya Foxheart. He does not want the woman to be pressured for Momodi's protection money again in the future. 
::*C'Kayah has made good on his end of the bargain, delivering the required drug to Jancis so that she can work on a cure for withdrawl symptoms. Meanwhile, Coatleque is working with Taeros to acquire the requested immunity for Aya. 
::*With surprisingly little coaxing, Coatleque was able to bend Taeros's ear. He agreed to pressure the Blades to only deal with Momodi in the future and leave Aya out of their plans. In return, Coatleque has agreed to look for the murderer of Alabrous Tane, who is still at large. She has begun looking for mercenaries who may be able to capture Jaxon Hawke to bring the woman to justice. 

:Pillar-Ex, 24-man Raid: 
::*An unexpected turn of events since Ser Castille returned from Coerthas. It seems he has begun courting his former love once more. Coatleque has been left to compete for his affections against this womans advances. 
::*Coatleque hatched a scheme to try and invoke Warren's jealousy. She invited a former 'lover', Alabrous Tane, to dinner with her at the Quicksand in hopes he would see them as she had seen he and Seimei. Things went horribly wrong when not only did Warren not show up, but Tane was murdered right in front of her. Coatleque was left standing in shock as her world is seemingly falling apart, and now she has Tane's bar tab to contend with. 
::*Menphina has chosen to laugh at the Knight once more as Warren pulled her aside and made it known he no longer wishes to be with her. His words were few, cold, and sounded forced, which left her under the impression he did not mean them. She feels powerless to do anything about it, however, and has resigned herself the loser in all of this. She still feels he will only be hurt again in the end. 
::*Rather than deal with her pain, Coatleque has requested to double her shift at the Palace. She feels if she keeps busy, her feelings will simply go away on their own. 
::*Coatleque has learned that some of her comrades took it upon themselves to visit harm upon her former lover in a malformed plan to uphold her honour. She has expressed her distaste for this turn of events. 
::*After Warren's friend Howl and another visited vengeance upon the Sworn who hurt Warren, Coatleque confronted the pair to make her disgust known. Her emotions have become conflicted over the matter, and she has begun to wonder if she ever truly knew Warren from the start. She desperately wants to believe he is a good man, but lately all she sees is violence which appears as a weakness to her. 

:Paladinhood, or, To Be a Sultansworn: 
::*Since pledging her life and blade to the Sultansworn, Coatleque has been taking active guard duty in Ul'dah. A boring start to her career. 
::*Coatleque's stalwart defense of the innocents of Ul'Dah are beginning to garner her more support from the populace while she is on duty. Her name seems to be rising quickly through word of mouth. 
::*Faced with an ongoing investigation and internal inquiry, the Sultansworn have been left in an awkward position regarding allegations of corruption. With a need to maintain a show of strength to counteract the Monetarists, Jenlyns has quickly promoted his new rising star to replace the Sergeant he had to dismiss recently. Her orders are to maintain her patrols and be the Sworn's face to the public. 
::*With the reinstatement of Ser Mcbeef to the Order, Coatleque has attempted to step down from her position so that the former Sergeant may retake her rightful place. Both Mcbeef and Captain Jenlyns were adverse to the notion, however, and so Ser Crofte retains her current rank. 
::*With the continued absence of Ser Sadowyn, it was decided that Ser Crofte would take her pace as the embodiment of Loyalty during the Trials of the Sultansworn. She will assist Captain Mynheir and Ser Mcbeef in the training of new applicants. 
::*Ser Sadowyn has returned and taken up her mantle of Captain once more, though Ser Crofte will continue to be in charge of the Trial of Loyalty per Anelia's request. 
::*Coatleque's attention has since been turned to the Order's latest recruits. Only time will tell if their various temperaments can be moulded into those of proper Paladins. 
::*With the death of Ser Natlie Mcbeef in action, Coatleque has inherited all of her pending investigations and initiates. The Knight has been feeling the increased weight of responsibility now, and worries she will not be able to compare to Natalie's take-charge personality. 
::*Coatleque has begun to develop feelings for Jameson Taeros. The more she is forced to work with the man, the more fascinated she become by him. She has even gone so far as to offer herself as a bargaining chip during one of their trades of services. While she tells herself she does this for the good of Ul'dah, a part of her begins to wonder if she desires something more. 
</spoiler>

Previous / Finished Plotlines:
<spoiler>
:The things we do for Friends...: 
::*Coatleque and Natalie have continued their investigation into the attempted poisoning of Roen Deneith while she was imprisoned in Ul'dah. They went so far as to question members of the Red Wings, and to enlist their aide in tracking down who may be using their emblem to incite such rumors. 
::*Natalie has asked permission to contact her former love interest, C'Kayah, to ask for assistance in tracking down where the Somnus may have been purchased. He will not help, however, without an official writ granting him permission to continue importing goods to Ul'dah. 
::*Roen has since hatched her own plan with the assistance of Nero Lazarov, a smuggler from Limsa Lominsa. They attempted to setup Jameson Taeros with a shipment of Somnus to try and pin him with smuggling contraband, but the Monetarist was already prepared with an alibi to avoid arrest. Roen was clearly upset when Crofte told her they could not arrest the man. 
::*Coatleque has taken it upon herself to investigate this man that Roen is so intent on working with. She will not stand in Roen's way of tracking down those who intended to kill her, but she also does not want to see the woman betrayed by false friends yet again. While her investigation turned up nothing overly incriminating, she is still keeping a watchful eye over the pair whenever she is able. 
::*Roen has confessed she has growing feelings for the man, Nero Lazarov. Coatleque expressed her joy for Roen over a private meeting, the last they had within the City. As they parted, however, she could not shake the feeling that Roen would soon face sorrow the likes of which she has not seen before. 

:The Shadows of Death's Wings (Episodic): 
::*Ser Crofte has heard of a mysterious group of people who attacked her shield brethren, Natalie and Kage both. The pair were unharmed, but she has been uneasy since then - especially after the recent unrest in the city.
::*Due to her work load pulling her in many different directions, Coatleque was unable to lend further assistance against the Crows. Luckily, Iron Sea had stepped up and led a band of heroes against the Voice to secure the saftey of the city once more. 

:Oil and Water: 
::*Gaspard Howlett, someone who had approached Coatleque while she was on duty, has since provided her with information she requested. After payment, he gave her a counter offer asking for a more permanent role within the city. As this was not something she could offer, she instead brought him to the Red Wings headquarters with the mind that they may be able to use him. 
::*It was since made known to her exactly what methods Master Howlett employs. She is quickly finding distaste for the man and has written him with requests of an audience to discuss matters before they get out of hand. 
::*Master Howlett has been absent from the city for quite some time. Coatleque has learned through an intermediary that the man has no immediate interest in returning, having grown a distinct distaste for Ul'dahn politics after recent events. 

:The Road to Redemption:
::*Having acted against her orders now, Coatleque has submitted a lengthy report to her Captain regarding three disgraced Sultansworn. She is currently waiting reprimand for disobedience, but feels her actions were justified as laid out in her documentation. While two of the three seem to be far past saving, she still holds hope for their third." 
::*Coatleque went to visit Ser Deneith at her safe house to impart what wisdom she could to the girl, in hopes that she will not succumb to whatever dark thoughts are currently assaulting her. Time will tell if her words carried weight. 
::*In an effort to draw pressure away from her three comrades, Coatleque has devised a plan to use the evidence that was once their bane to take official responsibility of the entire investigation. What was once used against the three may yet now be used to save them all if she can maneuver around politics correctly. 
::*Having now been ordered to detain Roen Deneith herself, Coatleque has used the preliminary time given to her to warn Ser Deneith of the situation, and to begin building her case for acquittal. Coatleque now plans to build her case based around deeds versus words to prove Roen is above the reproach of these charges which were levied by a single witness. 
::*With the reinstatement of Natalie Mcbeef to the order, the pair have been thrust together in a sort of partnership by their Captain. While Ser Crofte is intent on building the case to save Ser Deneith, Ser Mcbeef seems to be more interested in the details of Coatleque's love life. 
::*After meeting a face from her past she'd rather have forgotten, Coatleque has a meeting arranged to speak with Shaelen about the events at the mine so many months ago. The cost may be high, but she is prepared to do what is necessary for Roen's defense. 
::*Coatleque met with Jameson Taeros to discuss the recent attempt on Roen's life while she is in prison. She was almost getting somewhere to, until Natalie showed up and the conversation was diverted. She extended another invitation to the man as a courtesy and in hopes she may yet pry more information from him. 
::*Having compiled all necessesary evidence in Roen's favor, combined with the recanting of Cicero's accustaions, Coatleque made her case before the Captain. Jenlyns was able to throw out the charges against Roen, as well as striking the Nanawa Mines incident from the records of all three involved. Gharen Wolfsong's involvement was also deemed irelevant and the capture and execution order against him was recinded. Coatleque made the formal announcement to Roen as she released her from the gaols and welcomed all three back to the Order should they desire it. 

:Lifting Menphina's Curse:
::*Coatleque's prior relationships have all fallen apart for one reason or another. She continues to believe herself cursed by the Lover to always be alone. There is one other, however, who may be of like mind. Perhaps too much of like mind, as neither of them have yet to act on it. 
::*After the stress of recent events, and having almost given her life to fulfill her oath, Coatleque has finally been able to admit to herself that she is ready for a serious relationship. However, upon confessing this to the man she desires, he retorted with a confession of murder. With her expectations shattered once again, Coatleque simply left him standing there with no further words. 
::*As her nightmares continue to grow steadily worse, Coatleque found herself drawing closer to Ser Castille once more. She was comforted enough by his presence to be able to sleep as he watched over her from the door. On another occasion, he arrived after she had woken from another dream and stayed to read to her. She could no longer deny the effect he was having on her life. 
::*After another stressful week, Coatleque requested that Warren continue the story he had begun a prior night. He waited in her room as she was kept late with her work, only to surprise her there. After a touchingly awkward moment between the two, they spent the night together as they confessed their love for each other under Menphina's embrace. 

:The Thanks I Get:
::*After saving a girl's life (Jenzi) from a would be assassin (Briareus) in the Quicksand, Coatleque found herself accosted not two bells later that same night by the same assassin and his target. They both accused Coatleque of signing the contract on the woman's life, a charge she vehemently denied before all present. A riot nearly ensued afterwords as Flames, Blades, and Paladins answered her call for support. Still she stood her ground with the law on her side and the Ishgardian backed down when it was clear she (Coatleque) would not submit to his inquisition. Once the crowd had dispersed, it was made known the barmaid (Aya) may have information. She gave Coatleque the names of three disgraced Sultansworn (Natalie, Kage, Roen) who may have forged no less than sixteen contracts on Jenzi's life, if Briareus's accusations are true. 
::*Coatleque has been contacted by the assassin once again. Briareus seemed to be after someone he refereed to as Kalas. Before she could react, the man ran off with a comrade. Apparently their quarry had already been caught. 
::*Some days later, the Knight was contacted and asked to meet with the mysterious Master Zero. The man has requested her aid in the near future, but seems tight lipped on the details. While she is not about to turn away someone in need, she also cannot pledge help to a cause she does not know. She asked him to contact her once there is something he actually needs her to do other than false hope and promises. 
::*Rumor has it, Briareus is still conducting his investigation, and Coatleque's name has been brought up more than once over the past fortnight, though she has not been approached directly. 
::*Jenzi Einzig has contact Coatleque to request her aid. In exchange for the odd request of two Sultansworn emblems, Jenzi has agreed to provide Ser Crofte with any information she can overhear while she moves about the city. 
::*It seems there is now a plot underfoot to summon a primal using a large cache of fire crystals currently held by the Sultansworn. While the Ishgardian Briareus is intent on pressing the matter, Jenzi informs Crofte that the man is bent on some sort of revenge. Coatleque has been caught in the middle without enough information to act against either. 
::*After yet more heated exchanges, Briareus's hand was forced and he and his assassin attacked the Red Wings's own stronghold. They left Ser Filangeiri for dead, a mistake that would soon catch up to them as the entire organization attempted a confrontation in the city. Briareus fled under pain of death should he ever return to the city. 

:Blood in the Sands:
::*Coatleque was approached by a pale man in the Quicksand with rumors of poison being distributed to refugees outside the city gate. She followed him to the source only to be ambushed by three voidsent creatures. Despite her efforts, and those of Oscare Iono who had followed her, she was unable to fight off the attack. Suffering a fractured leg, she agreed to go willingly if Oscare was spared. The creatures took her to the mage Austurmax Laforet who, after an additional brief struggle, was able to bind her in one of Jin'li's collars. 
::*Ordered to 'lay low' in Camp Drybone, Coatleque was mostly absent for a full week, and not present during the first attack against Ul'dah. She did not even learn of the poisoning till a full five suns afterwords. 
::*Finally having met her 'master', Coatleque learned that she would be used in an assassination attempt against someone of import within the city. All she could do was write warning to Ser Castille and continue to stay hidden in hopes that he would be able to gather allies and prepare. 
::*The day of the second attack came, and Coatleque found her role to be that of escort for the assassins to the palace. Faced with either breaking her oath and being branded a traitor, or disobeying Jin'li and being killed, she did the only thing possible in that situation and took her own life. Leading the assassins to the foot of the palace stairs, she fell on her sword rather than allowing Jin'li to kill her. This was enough to raise the alarm as the assassins ran past her towards the promenade. Her wound was not instantly fatal, however, and with the timely arrival of [[Syl Souther]] and other members of Coral, she was healed and stabilized while the battle raged on the second floor. 
::*After the failed assassination attempt, [[Warren Castille]] found Coatleque leaning against the wall at the bottom of the stairs and was able to remove her collar, disarming the explosive device at the same time. Now free of Jin'li's control, she is able to resume her regular duties. 
::*While Ser Crofte recovered from her self-inflicted wound, the Red Wings dealt with Jin'li and removed the threat once and for all. 

:Harbingers' Leviathon Plot: While the Harbinger's Vanguard fought the Leviathan near the Ilse of Umbra, Coatleque led a successful diversionary move against the Sahaguin to prevent them from interfering with the main assault. Once the beast was felled, she ordered the withdraw to reinforce the company while the wounded were tended to. 

:Case of the Missing Pants: Coatleque received a new set of finery as thanks from the famous Otto Vann, fashion designer of Ul'dah. 

:Dear Sister:
::*It's hard not to get involved in your best friend's love life when everyone else keeps throwing it in your face. 
::*Taking a passive role in the whole business seems to have paid off, as Jancis's relationship woes have seemingly been smoothed over. 

:Career Change:
::*With the company slowly falling apart under absent leadership, a change of allegiance has finally been forced. While Coatleque's first liege has always been the Sultana, she worries for the rest of the Harbingers who are now scattered abroad.
::*Looking to fill her spare time with yet more work, Coatleque has thrown her blade in with the Sailors of the Coral Sea. 

:The Piquant Pumpkin:
::*Coatleque accepted a position to provide security at Gus Pumpkinweed's new Cafe during its grand opening.
::*Services were once again rendered as security for the Spooky Lightsday at camp Bluefog.
::*After a tumultuous conversation with Bartolomeo Filangieri, Coatleque has decided to terminate her volunteer employment at the Pumpkin. She can no longer split her time between official duties, and parading around in a pumpkin uniform, deciding it is ultimately unbefitting of a knight.

:Tension Abounds: 
::*After sharing some personal 'girl' time with Tasa in the Mist, the pair parted ways with an unexpected kiss. 
::*An emotional parting of ways occurred as both women decided to move on from the Harbingers. They have promised to keep in touch however possible. 
::*Some shameless flirting has led to a sudden outburst in public. Has a relationship been strained, or has Coatleque been forced to confront her fears of being hurt? 
::*Time can heal most wounds. In this case it has drawn the two closer together. Deciding to just see where things lead, Tasa and Coatleque have decided to face their fears together for now. 
::*Coatleque's position has been keeping her tied up with work more often than not. She worries about the strain this may cause on her 'relationship' and is already convinced things are going to turn downhill. She feels she has been cursed by Menphina herself in this aspect of her life. 
::*After providing assitance to Ser Warren Castille in Coerthas, Coatleque is feeling rather conflicted as to how she wants her life to proceed from here. It may be time to have a heart-to-heart with Tasa, whom she has not seen in quite some time. 
::*Tasa has come to Ul'dah to speak with Coatleque about their relationship. While Tasa expressed concern and made her case as to why they should not continue, Coatleque remained distant and emotionless. Her work had taken too much of a toll for her to respond. The two decided to part ways and remain in contact as friends.

Chachanji Gegenji is the youngest child of the Gegenji family - a quickly rising clan of arms dealers seeking to make a name for themselves as the makers and providers of the finest arms and armors in all of Hydaelyn. However, Chachanji - being both energetic and a bit of a romantic - believes that he'd rather protect people himself rather than just foist gear on them. Seeing the plights surrounding Ul'dah upon the start of his adventure has only strengthened his beliefs.
 
 
At his side often enough is stalwart, little Gran; a baby behemoth that has quickly become Chachanji's partner in crime. Originally an oddity that was handed off time and time again between vendors and easily-tricked consumers across Eorzea, the little purple porker has somehow wound up under the Lalafell's care. He's not complaining, though, considering the ample supply of entertainment and treats. Whether or not he's actually a baby behemoth or a piglet made up to look like one is still up in the air.

====<div style="padding:0px 0px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Quirks</div>====
: <ul>
: <li>A bit of an oblivious dork, zeroing in on things that catch his interest and often missing things that haven't. Due to his training as a smith under his father, this often include focusing on someone's arms or armor.</li>
: <li>Speaks with a cobbled-together "Eorzean accent" that he's picked up to hide his Doman heritage. While it slips when he's suitably distressed, he's gotten quite used to using it and maintains it more often than not.</li>
: <li>While relatively fluent in Eorzean thanks to the Garlean occupation, he has a harder time wrapping his head around more complicated words (and names) and often breaks them down into oversimplifications, like "in-keg-neato" and "thundermentals." Others he mispronounces as part of that "Eorzean accent," and has stuck to them out of habit - "halp" and "swording" being two of the most common.</li>
: <li>As a little hero to be, Chachan often jumps in to try and "halp" people whenever there's a problem, even if he can't solve it. This has included an incident where he tried to talk a thief out of being a thief. This often leads to him taking on more than he can handle, and is likely to lead to him getting frustrated and throwing a fit.</li>

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

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

: Chachanji, like his siblings, was born in Doma to the current family head Zozonji Gegenji - Doman native and skilled smith - and his wife Jijinya, daughter of a mostly unknown Ul'dahn merchant family. While he was taught the ways of business and metallurgy like his brother and sister, it was understood that Gogonji would take on the family business once Zozonji and Jijinya were ready to hand off the reins. As such, the pressures on Chacha to live up to the Gegenji family name were much less. While he did pay some attention to the smithing lectures and hands-on training, due to their more complicitly interactive nature, most of his economic classes were spent daydreaming about fighting dragons and saving princesses.

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

: The most shocking event in Chachanji's young life was when he overheard a heated argument between Zozonji and Gogonji. The normally quiet and studious Gogo was suddenly voicing his disinterest in taking on the family business! He believed that simple weapons and armor paled before the might of tactics and knowledge, which had the added benefit of having uses outside just combat. He spoke of the Arcanists of the south seas, he described tales of the Scholars of Nym. Spearheading the manipulation and control of information, he argued, was a better goal than stubbornly relying on antiquated weaponry - already dated against Garlean's magitek advances.

: Chachanji retreated as the fight continued, afraid of being found and dragged into it. All he knew was that, shortly after that, Gogonji left their home to pursue his own ventures. Chacha approached his father for clarification, but was gruffly dismissed and ordered to focus on his studies.

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

: It has been five years since Gogonji stormed out on his family, and still the fight would oft come to Chachanji's mind. With the ramping up of Garlean forces over in Eorzea, the Gegenji family was seeing a lot of business. Of course, with Jijinya's ties to Ul'dah, they were also covertly shipping equipment there as well - for coin, of course. It all rubbed the romantically-minded Chacha the wrong way.
: 
: Like his brother before him, Chacha confronted his father. However, his complaints were much more fanciful. It was obvious the Domans held no love for the oppressive Garleans, so why not support the Eorzean Alliance more openly? Why not take up the arms they so lovingly crafted and defend Doma, Ul'dah, and the rest rather than just turn around and sell them to the highest bidder!?
: 
: Chachanji remembers little of how the rest of the argument played out, either too upset to remember or having actively refused to commit it to memory. All that he knew that he was on a ship to Ul'dah, to the land of his mother, to do more to help people than just offer them a fine blade for a price. Once there, the gap between the haves and the have-nots only inflamed his passion. He quickly found work with Momodi, taking tasks to try and make each day a little bit better for the locals - all the while dreaming of doing something bigger and better.
: 
: Imagine his fear, then, when he heard of the razing of Doma. While he and his father had separated on less-than-friendly circumstances, he still truly cared for his family. So, when the refugees came to Ul'dah, Chachanji dropped everything to go see them - only to find they had been barred from the city. Chacha himself might have be gathered up with them and ousted from the city as well due to his heritage, but it was Momodi to the rescue again, citing his adventurer's license as reason enough for why he could stay within Ul'dah's walls. There's been quite a bit of conflict on this matter, and Chachanji has quickly learned to keep his Doma heritage quiet to avoid unneeded complications.
: 
: Since then, quite a bit has happened. He's made friends (with an oddly disproportionate number of them being Sultansworn), made a bit of a name for himself as an able hand around Ul'dah, and has even begun his training to become a Paladin under the watchful eyes of Warren Castille, Roen Deneith, and (hopefully soon) Ser Coatleque Crofte. He still wants to be a hero, but a conversation with Ser Crofte has gotten him questioning his reasons as to why. Such reflection oft returns his mind to his family, holed up in Revenant's Toll with the rest of the Doman refugees, but he steadfastly believes that he's doing something important at the Jewel and stays his course. He still tries to visit them occasion, though.
: 
: What lies ahead for the youngest Gegenji? Will he manage to complete his training and become either Free Paladin or Sultansworn? And what of his family, from the father he walked out on to the brother who is still missing in action?

: <center>♥ Romantic Interest    ♥ Platonic Love     ● Good Standing     ● Poor Standing</center>
: ♥ [[Leanne Delphium]], aka "Ms. Hat" - She has kind of adopted Chachan has her younger brother, and he sees her as a sort of sibling-in-kind. When she's happy, he's happy; and when she's distressed, he's there to try and cheer her up. Best frans forever~
: ♥ [[Warren Castille]] - Chachanji's arms teacher, who saved him from assault by angry bee outside Ul'dah, and now serves to teach him how to fight with sword and shield. If he knew what it meant, the Lalafell might even admit to having a platonic man-crush on the Free Paladin, whom he sees as both strong and righteous.
: ♥ [[Roen Deneith]] - Met by happenstance through Gran bumping into her, Roen has become Chachan's second teacher, the "Free-Sworn" having that heroic heart that the Lalafell so admires. Whenever he sees her, she seems to be helping people, which is exactly what he wants to do. She's also been teaching him how to ride his Chocobo, Avenger.
: ● [[Coatleque Crofte]] - Chachanji has his eyes on this predominant Sultansworn to be his third teacher. Her calm and collected approach, along with her apparent ability to always know what to say or do, being something he wants to emulate. He has approached her about this and been given a "Trial of Purpose," and where this leads for the both of them is still up in the air.
: ● [[Artemis Newton]] - One of the first folks Chachan met in Ul'dah, and one of the first to attempt to improve his swordplay and point him on the path to Paladinhood. Her myriad skill sets and knowledge on multiple matters (either personally or knowing someone who does) has been helpful to the little Lalafell to learn more about Eorzea in general.
: ● [[Shas Tarry]] - A Sultansworn that Chachan met through Leanne and has come to see as quite the friend and another example of how close Paladins in general are to his heroic ideals. She's been there for him almost as much as Leanne herself, and is quite close to being bumped up on this list.
: ● [[Roysia Stone]] - A Sultansworn-in-Training that started her training at the same time Chachanji started his own. As such, they've been almost "rivals" in a race to see who can reach their goal first. Rose seems to have quite the lead, though, and the Lalafell has come to accept the differences in the paths between them. She does still have her moments that make him wonder how she got so much further ahead.
: ● [[Aiden Church]] - A Sultansworn hopeful Chachanji came across in an interesting incident at the Quicksand. The farm boy's short temper and overzealous nature continues to exasperate the little Lalafell, but the Hyur's dream also resonates with him. As such, Chachan has found himself trying to keep an eye out for Aiden and keep him from blowing his chances. This has the added effect of the spritely Lalafell somehow being the straight man in most of their interactions.
: ● [[Koporo Aporo]] - Meetings between these two Lalafell seem to always quickly devolve into arguing over whether Chachanji should be able to keep his pet baby behemoth, Gran, or not. As such, the Gegenji child tries to avoid Koporo when he can and, if forced into conversation with him, tends to be a bit more grumpy. This is usually because he's waiting for the Lalafell 'Sworn to inquire into where Gran might be.
: ● [[Evangeline Primrose]] - Originally thinking the Elezan possessed a good heart, her actions have continued to tarnish his opinion of her. The fact that she and Leanne are quite at odds isn't helping matters much, either. He still holds out some hope that she'll learn what she's doing wrong, but that candle is guttering out quickly.

{{Character-stub}}

==Character==
===General Bio===

Kiht Jakkya is a very traditional Keeper of the Moon. She grew up in the Twelveswood with her family and Keeper group. She was trained to be a huntress and scout for her group. She learned to track, hunt, scout and fight from a childhood age. While she grew up in a Matriarchal society, she learned a lot from her father and uncles, and trained with her cousins and sisters. She knows a lot about the Black Shroud, and has a hard time with Gridanian laws and regulations as it had been a hindrance to her Keeper group's traditional ways.

Kiht was once arrested by the Gridanians due to a misunderstanding. However, she was released after a year because she was only a teenager, and a certain member of the Twin Adder helped arrange for her release. While she was their captive, this sympathetic (and brave) Elezen soldier decided to impart to her a great deal of knowledge on the world and the ways of the Lancers. Kiht returned to her family as a more educated huntress who helped her group establish a dialogue with the Gridanians. While the Gridanians wouldn't have been considered the group's allies, they were no longer enemies five years after the Calamity.

Since then, Kiht has seen many places in Eorzea, and has been a part of several lives.

===Appearance===

Kiht Jakkya is small, even by Miqo'te standards, but that is actually true of most of the females in her small family. Kiht usually appears serious and doesn't often show her emotions easily. The hard life that she has shared with her group in the Black Shroud has made her stoic and often well-guarded. She has a teardrop tattoo on her forehead witch represents a tear of Menphina. She grows jet-black hair, and has a small scar close to her right eye which possibly has a story of its own. If one were to look closely at Kiht's eyes, they would see a color matching the blue of a starlit night sky.

===Behavior===

Kiht is willful and somewhat stubborn in her views. She has a strong curiosity, and is an astute observer. She is fierce in battle, but often very calm otherwise which is why many who have never seen her fight do not think she can. She may even be shy around certain people. Her favored goddesses are Menphina the Lover (as per clan tradition) and Halone the Fury, goddess of battle. Some might say the personas of the two cousin goddesses are expressed in Kiht. She is furiously protective of people she cares about, and yet has a sensitivity to her that might melt a grizzled Roegadyn pirate.

She speaks like an educated Eorzean, so many might not be aware of her nomadic and traditional upbringing when they first meet her. Most people don't realize that her way of speaking is practiced, and that she wasn't always so sophisticated with speech. She learned that people judge others by the way they talk, so she has learned to use that to her advantage. If a person was to ever get her drunk, she would revert to a peculiar accent that might surprise them.

Kiht displays the tendencies of a traditional Keeper in that she has trouble with male authority, and a strong respect for other females. However, she has come to look beyond those biases in some cases, so there are some males she respects a great deal, and some females she has come to dislike.

==Combat==
===General===

::*'''Strengths:'''
::*Kiht is a Lancer who knows many techniques, and it is certainly her favored art. She may be small, but her balance is incredible and her agility, accuracy and speed are formidable.

::*Trained in the traditional Keeper short-bow style of archery.
::*Trained in Scout-style knife-fighting.
::*Basic unarmed combat training.

::*'''Weaknesses:'''

::*Archer: 6 (She can hunt and fight beasts with a short-bow.)
::*Knife-fighter: 6 (Her traditional scout form is exotic, but ultimately she is no better than your average soldier trained with daggers and knives. She is not a Lominsan Rogue.)

All other combat and magic classes she is untrained in.

::*Botany: 4 (She can identify plants in the Shroud, but only knows about the more common ones that her family use to gather.)
::*Fishing: 3 (She can catch some river fish sometimes.)

==Tendencies==

[[File:Kihtcolorbluelines.png|300px|]]

===Likes===
::* Meat. Six years after the calamity, she is tired of her family having to eat more vegetables than they ever have had to. She is crazy for fish, pork and exotic meats.
::* Traditions, rituals and dancing.
::* Plant life. She likes flowers and trees. When she is not with her family in the Black Shroud she often climbs the very tall trees in order to find a safe place to sleep during the day.
::* Rain. She may not be fond of the getting wet part, but the beauty of rain is hard for her to not like.
::* Darkness. She feels safest when most things can barely see her. But she can always see them...
::* Hunting. Nothing better than a good hunt; especially, with others at her side.
::* Exploring. She likes to go where she should not go; do what she should not do. A sort of mischievous side to her personality.
::* Whiskey.
::* The Twelve Gods and Goddesses.
::* Telling stories.
::* Helping friends and family.

===Dislikes===
::* Sunlight and heat. This makes Thanalan a big challenge.
::* Ixal. Nothing she hates more.

::* Submissive females. She doesn't think women should be mean, but she thinks women make better leaders, and should be strong in both body and in mind. At least, strong in mind.
::* Male authority. She will always be a bit stubborn towards male authority.

===Family===

The Jakkya surname is an ancient Keeper name that has been passed down since the dawn of the Keeper clans. Because the name follows the female individuals, not a specific clan, the name is now widespread amongst the Keepers of the Moon. In other words, there may be more Keepers with the surname Jakkya, but not all Jakkyas are part of the same group or family. The surname simply indicates a shared ancestry which could be as far back as the first use of the name.

The Jakkya family is a family reunited. Three generations in the past, the family had split because of differing philosophies. One side of the family helped form the Shriekshroom clan which -was- a nomadic group of hunter-gatherers who moved from settlement to settlement within the Twelveswood. They developed into dignified scout and skilled leather-workers. They are willful and dedicated, but often very prideful. This side of the family lived at peace with Gridania until the calamity struck. At that time, they were forced to be at odds with the city for the five years of disarray and recovery of the forest. They also fought in numerous conflicts with the Ixal.

The other sides of the family stayed in the South Shroud or West Shroud, and disbursed to various Keeper groups. They practiced stern traditions that they took very seriously. They fought a constant battle for territory, and their rights to hunt in the forest.

'''Members (player characters):'''

[[Taiga Jakkya]] is a cousin from South Shroud. She may be rough around the edges, but her loyalty to family is unquestionable. She has shown as much wisdom as Kiht has (in most cases...), and has been counsel for Kiht on many occasions. She has quickly become very dear to Kiht.

[[Nyxh Jakkya]] is Kiht's half-sister. They grew up together, but Nyxh is known to be quiet and subtle. It is only recently that Kiht has come to know her sister well, and she has come to consider her not just a sister, but a friend.

[[Khloe Jakkya]] is Kiht's cousin. Having spent five years with her father in Ul'dah, Khloe struggles with being a traditional Jakkya. However, Kiht has come a long way in respecting that her cousin is not typical. Khloe supported Kiht on many occasions, and Kiht has not forgotten. Khloe is the oddest Jakkya, but she is still a Jakkya.

[[Nesha Jakkya]] is another cousin. She passed trials at a surprisingly young age, and ambitiously set off to Limsa Lominsa to learn new things that would benefit the family. She did not return until recently. Kiht thought she was dead, but quite the opposite; Nesha became an assassin on the caliber of the Rogues of Limsa Lominsa.

[[Zakkn'a Jakkya]] is Kiht's half-brother. He was a stubborn pain in her arse the last time she saw him. He did not get along well with many in the Morbolvine Clan. She has been out of contract with him, and wonders if he is well.

'''Members freed from slavery:'''

Kipih Jakkya (NPC): Currently recovering in Gridania.

===Close Friends===

[[Yvelont Navarre]] is Kiht's valued mentor. He gave her extensive education, and training when she was forced to endure six moons of rehabilitation in Gridania. He took on the task that no one else wanted to do: train and educate a wild teenage Moon-keeper girl. He did so with patience, genuine care and perhaps some protective armor. He helped her gain her freedom, and has become like family to her. Kiht would take on Bahamut if it meant helping him.

[[Roen Deneith]] is one of Kiht's first friends after journeying to Thanalan. Kiht first met her at the Grindstone tournament. The woman is extremely generous to Kiht, but is not prone to easily share information about herself. However, Kiht now knows a lot about Roen, and now considers her a close friend.

A suave vagabond by the name of '''Tobias ((Nightbringer))''' helped Kiht gain entrance to Gridania for a very modest fee when she still had a criminal record. She does not yet know him well enough to call him "friend", but she finds the witty Hyur to be fascinating, and is certainly in debt to him for helping her get into Gridania. She wishes to know more about him, but he is always prone to dodge questions, and use charm to divert attention. She is convinced that this is some sort of defense mechanism that guards a troubled past.

A close friend of Kiht's is a rather gruff, but friendly and traditional, Keeper of the Moon by the name of [[Kendha'to Burwani]]. Kiht and Kendha'to grew very close after spending much time with each other. However, the male lives the life of Oschon, and tends to wander the world alone. Regardless of what happens in Kiht's life, she will always have a place in her heart for that "Bone-headed male".

A traditional Moon-keeper huntress by the name of [[Rinette Molkoh]] has become like a sister to Kiht. Through all their time they've spent together, Kiht probably knows more about Rinette than she does anyone else aside from her family. Kiht would put her life in danger for Rinette without hesitation. Nothing more needs to be said.

A shy and often emotional Moon-keeper girl by the name of [[Merri Renalah]] is a friend of Kiht's that she has known for many Moons. Thanks to Kiht's efforts, Merri is now reunited with her once-lost Keeper group, and will soon be the head matron of her family. Worried about Merri's many perceived vulnerabilities, Kiht intends to watch over the girl, and help her remember what it means to be a Keeper of the Moon.

[[Rinh'li Nelhah]] is a kind and sensitive male Keeper of the Moon who has become Kiht's lover. She quickly got attached to him, and can't explain why she likes him so much, but she has become fiercely protective of him, and will go to great lengths to help him with his "inner demons". She is often uncertain about where Rinh'li's chosen path in life is, but she knows she will always care for him in some way.

[[Erik Mynhier]] - In Kiht's opinion, he is as good a man as you can find. Does right by the world, and does what he has to defend good people and good causes. The man is a hero. Erik was one of the first to visit Kiht after a traumatic experience. She will not forget the kindness and friendship he offered her.

[[Crisiet Liautroix]] - Is an ex-Ishgardian with a seemingly plain demeanor, but he has proven a valuable ally time and again. When Kiht disappeared, he was one of the few to investigate. He was also one of the few to show up when she needed aid in a battle. Somehow, he is always around when Kiht needs help the most.

[[Enju Abbagliato]] - Kiht finds him to be calm and collected. She has not seen many emotions from him. She knows where Enju's true loyalties lie, and that has never concerned her as long as he continues to be an ally. He has aided her on many occasions, and was one of the few who searched for her when she went missing. He has proven to be one of her most helpful friends.

[[Verad Bellveil]] - This Duskwight offered his friendship for sale at a dubiously low price. Kidding aside, he is one of those rare friends who Kiht can absolutely trust. The man is a bit mysterious, but his intentions are clear. He is a great man, and Kiht -will- support him.

[[Aya Foxheart]] - Even as Kiht's life goes through some changes, Aya has been a nice constant. She opened up to Kiht, and that is not something Kiht will forget.

[[Kahn'a Od'hilkas]] - Kiht was not too sure about this male Keeper at first, but has come to realize he is a good man who often gets frustrated with his inability to fix every crazy problem put before him. Kiht still does not know much about him, but feels like he may be the type that takes the weight of Ul'dah's problems onto his shoulders. A true Immortal Flame.

[[Nheu'a Polaali]] - Kiht knows he has issues. She knows he follows a dangerous path. She knows he is not perfect. However, she sees him as a new mentor. One of the few who saw her potential, and helped her gain greater skill and strength. He is the first in a long time to have put faith in her.

[[Khloe Lyehga]] - Is an example of someone who Kiht did not like as much at first. The strange girl with the mysterious magic eye bears a bizarre past; all of which was thought to be a threat to Kiht's family and friends. However, she did not truly know Khloe until recently. The two have differences, but much in common as well. Khloe is a good and honest person, and Kiht is glad she did not drive her away.

[[Nihka Mioni]] - Is a wise, but highly sensitive Keeper who has become part of the Shroudwolf Clan. Despite the fact that Kiht does not always know how to handle Nihka, she considers her a close friend, and feels strongly protective of Nihka and her infant daughter Sehki.

[[R'shesha Otharn]] - Is a Seeker huntress and scout that is like the never-ending sunshine of the Shroudwolf Clan. R'shesha seems to bond easily with anyone, and hardly displays anger. Kiht sometimes feels frustrated with how trusting R'shesha can be of strangers, but she is a loyal friend who Kiht would not trade away.

[[Sanja Polaali]] - Is a Keeper who once hailed from the Morbolvine Clan. However, Sanja chose her loyalty over blood and joined the Shroudwolf Clan. Kiht sometimes seriously worries about Sanja, but the teenage Keeper has been in Kiht's life for so long, she considers her a sister.

[[Cy'xanne Nunh]] - Is a Seeker who use to exchange frequent philosophical conversations with Kiht. She finds him to be intelligent and wise. Most would not give him the benefit of the doubt due to his title, but Kiht knew better. If Kiht had been born a Seeker, she would have joined his tribe. However, as a Keeper, she can still at least be his friend.

===Noteworthy Contacts===

[[Meyla Sarka]] ((Good Standing)) - Kiht feels many things when it comes to Meyla. She feels like she was never able to gain her trust, and she dreads her bonding with people Kiht dislikes. However, Kiht feels it can not be helped. She would likely come to Meyla's aid if she ever called for it, but Kiht would be surprised if she did call for it. Meyla is too independent; she doesn't want Kiht's help.

[[Xydane Vale]] ((Good standing)) - Kiht feels that this knight is naive in that he acts like he is the solution to every problem. However, he is one of the rare people who can truly recognize the difference between right and wrong. He is an honorable man, and for that, he has gained Kiht's respect. She would never admit it though.

[[Osric Melkire]] ((Good standing)) - Kiht is conflicted about her feelings towards the man as she has seen him do great things, and bad things. However, she has come to recognize that he fights for his loved ones. He is no hero, but she sees his potential.

[[C'kayah Tia]] ((Neutral standing)) - While Kiht's professional relations with this male have been shaky and full of negative feelings, she has come to see that he is usually not motivated by malevolence. She thinks his selfish tendencies make him dangerous, and she questions his morals, but he seems to have a sincere empathy for people who are not his enemies. He lost her trust on several occasions, and she finds it hard to give it back.

[[Askier Mergrey]] ((Good Standing)) - Kiht thought he was a bit odd at first... Well, she still thinks he is odd. However, she has quickly come to like him. She knows little about his past, and prefers not to pry. She hears that he gets enough punishment for the things he has done. After a recent visit from him on Morbolvine Clan grounds, she educated him on Moon-keeper traditions, and is happy to see he is receptive. She is glad to have made a new ally, and is hoping to help him more in the future.

[[Miah Polaali]] ((Neutral standing)) - Kiht use to be close friends with her, but they eventually could not agree on many things. She threatened Kiht's life at one point, but their last meeting ended with an attempt to make peace. Who knows what the future will bring.

[[Pyralis Targaryen]] ((No clue anymore)) - Kiht has given him -many- chances. The two had become close friends again. However, an encounter he had with Rinh'li, who is Kiht's beloved mate, scared her. She thinks the man is a danger to Rinh'li, and the peace she is building with her Clan.

===Poor Standing===

[[Raelisanne Banurein]] - Kiht was unsure what to think of the woman at first. Even after finding out about her true loyalties, Kiht had little reason to hate the woman. However, recent revelations has made Kiht realize that the woman probably needs to be stopped.

===Enemies===

'''Austurmax''' - The thorn in Kiht's side; the tormentor of friends and family. She nearly launched a crusade against this Black Mage on many occasions.

[[Jin'li Epinoch]] ((RIP)) - He once compromised Kiht's leadership, and almost forced her to the point where she might have taken her own life to save others. It never came to that, and he is now history, but Kiht will never forget how bad he had made things.

==Extras OOC==

Open to potential integration of other characters into my story. For example, I would be willing to have someone become part of her clan or family.

PM me (Knight Kat on the HRPC forums) with any questions regarding my character, or her story. I am not interested in a critique of my writing style; this is a rough draft so far. However, I would listen to any corrections on lore. I want to be as accurate as I can be when it comes to the lore of the game. Also, if there are any inconsistencies in my wiki, please let me know.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Appearance</div>===
His exceptionally tone frame and chiseled core that flexes upon every exhale speaks tales of exhausting days out in the sun. They rigid posture in which he stands demonstrates steeled discipline, suggesting harsh training has been engraved into his body. Corded muscles twitch with eager anticipation, wrapping around his arms and legs, ready to act at a moment's notice. They terminate into strong, calloused hands and feet which, oddly enough, are without the fair share of scars that marked the profession of an unarmed fighter. Crowning his head is short blonde hair, a fine contrast to the caramel skin that smooths over his handsome features. Two finely groomed eyebrows frame his yellow hues, which seemed to glitter like burnished gold. They are reminiscent of a predator in the way that they focus on a single thing in particular, like a beast eyeing potential stalk. His full lips are graced with a touch of a smile, absent in nature but they part on occasion to reveal ivory rows.

== Music Themes ==

Note: Vocal Songs are attributed themes in which the lyrics seem to relate or partially relate to the character. They don't mean to resemble the character's voice. The instrumental themes are meant to give an idea of the atmosphere around the character. Songs with character names (example: "Tidus's Theme") are NOT meant to indicate that the character is like the theme owner. I just find the instruments and melody fitting, not the character the song was originally addressed to.

== Rumors ==

:*[[Warren Castille]]: "She was very kind, though I worry for the safety of a solitary blind woman walking through Ul'dah at night."
:*[[Lilithium Altair]]: "She seems very capable of taking care of herself, so it puts my mind at ease! And she loves the little ones that run around the company house."

==== Nicknames ====

None yet.

==== Current Residence ====
*Living in Ul'dah, frequents Gridania

=== '''''Before Dalamud's Fall''''' ===

==== ''Birth and childhood (0-10)'' ====
She will never tell much beyond the 'average' childhood one can expect a duskwight to have at such a delicate age, but does mention she discovered her talent for healing during this time and her clan encouraged her to hone it.

==== ''Teen Years'' ====
In this particularly gangly stage she grew very gifted with her healing abilities. Very little to nothing is known of her in this time, and she does not answer when questioned.

=== '''''After Dalamud's Fall''''' ===

==== ''Adulthood'' ====
From somewhere in her 20's she and her twin fled their home cave and spent many years simply wandering the world, lost and confused in the painful light of day. Now adapted to the surface world she knows far more than she could have imagined possible, speaking many tongues and knowing skills her people were mere novices in. She has traveled to all corners of Eorzea and beyond, finding herself more of a stay at home sort as of late and seeking the calm of the familiar world about her.

==== ''A Realm Reborn (Present, 23)'' ====
These days Zephyr spends most of her time wandering Ul'Dah and healing as she is call upon. Not one to turn down a plea for help she often refuses payment and tells her patients to instead buy supplies for the refugees.

==Character==
===General===
:Cassandra is 19 years old. She has recently begun her training as an Arcanist. She's quite dedicated and is often found either studying or writing in her diary. Much of her time is also spent exploring Limsa Lominsa and it's outskirts, all of which are new to her.

===Appearance===
:Cassandra is quite dainty, standing at 5'4", with a slim figure. Her black hair, unblemished porcelain skin and violet eyes are have gotten her in and out of trouble many times. She's well aware of her beauty and the effect it has on others, something she has often used to her advantage. That said, she doesn't enjoy being the center of attention, and as such she rarely dresses in revealing or provocative clothes, preferring instead a more discrete style.

===Personality===
:Cassandra is not the most approachable of people. She appreciates manners and acts accordingly, but she also sees politeness as a way to keep people at arm's length. The irreverence that is common at her age often shines through the veil of formality though. While rarely outright rude or insulting, she instead employs sarcasm or aloofness to deal with those she finds unpleasant, or simply to mess with them, if she's in the mood for it. Indeed, a part of Cassandra seems to take great pleasure in creating mischief. She has a penchant for making inflammatory remarks, and the fact that she's brutally honest doesn't help matters. It's from that very same part of her that her dark sense of humor is derived. Said humor takes shape not only as schadenfreude but also in the form of inappropriate jokes.

:While it may simply seem as though she has a chip on her shoulder, she's well aware of the effect she has on people, and her attitude is more often than not a premeditated way to avoid letting people get close. Some have said that beneath that somewhat rough surface lies a soft center. While not immediately apparent, her warmth can be observed in the way she deals with all manner of small creatures.

===Beliefs and Motivations===

:Cassandra is not fond of religion. Despite any academic curiosity she might have, she cares little for any deities. A firm believer in free will, she scorns the notion of fate. She does however believe that there's a purpose and a reason for everything and everyone, even if her actions might at times seem nihilistic. Her sense of morality appears to be quite flexible, she's comfortable in the company of noblemen or scoundrels alike. That said, she has no tolerance for those who in some way harm those she considers innocent, such as animals or children.

:Her one true motivation is power. She seeks power, not for the sake of ruling over others but as a means of independence, she hates relying on anyone else and she's willing to go to great lengths to avoid doing so.

==Combat==
===General===
:Cassandra isn't a skilled fighter, nor is she physically strong, and she knows it. While she's well aware of her weakness, she certainly doesn't enjoy showing it to others, and as such she does her best to avoid physical confrontation.

:Despite her weakness, Cassandra is no stranger to violence. Used to travelling on her own, she is rarely without a concealed sharp blade and a comfortable pair of shoes. Being able to flee is important when one has no other weapons, and she can run quite fast.

:Although her magical abilities are still fairly limited, Cassandra shows promise as an Arcanist. Her confidence grows by the day.

==Tendencies==

:* Animals, nature in general

===Other===

:* Being frequently on the outside, Cassandra has become quite observant about the behavior of others.
:* When she's concentrating on something, she often can't help but to mumble to herself. Her mumblings can range from the non-sensical to the inappropriate, causing some embarrassment.

==Relationships==
===Family===

:'''Edwin Lachance''' - Her father, killed during the calamity.

:'''Bridget Lachance''' - Mother. Aside from the fact that she's alive, there's very little that Cassandra seems to be willing to share about her mother.

===Friends===
:Currently none.

===Enemies===
:For obvious reasons, she's not fond of the Garlean Empire.

:* "She's very silly when drunk! It was quite adorable! That aside, she's a wonderful employee thus far. I would recommend her if ever she went out and about for other work as well." - [[Lilithium Altair]]

==History/Timeline==
:Cassandra was born and raised in Gridania. She loved the outdoors from a young age and spent quite a lot of time exploring the Black Shroud, usually against the will of her parents. She always had a hard time making friends, she was a bit of a bookworm and counter more woodland creatures among her friends than she did people.

:She was mostly oblivious to worldly affairs until the Garlean Invasion, which resulted in the death of her father.

:About a year later, at age 16, Cassandra left Gridania for good.

:Three years later she settled in Limsa Lominsa, to begin her training as an Arcanist.
