== Basic Info ==&lt;br /&gt;
'''Physical Appearance:''' Mercy is small for her race, short and slight of build, but slim and lithe, built like a dancer and often mistaken for one when she moves, gliding fluidly from one motion to the next no matter what she's doing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aside from her stature, Mercy is very ordinary. Her skin is faintly tanned from lots of time in the sun, though her hair is snow-white and highlighted with purple. Her eyes are her most striking feature, as she is heterochromic; her left eye is blue and the right green, and are always seen behind the glasses that she wears at all times to combat nearsightedness.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Place of Residence:''' The Roost, Gridania&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Place of Birth:''' Unknown&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Known Relatives:''' Unknown&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Friends:''' Morenin and P'lha&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
'''Favorite Colors:''' Red, Purple, Green, and Plaid&lt;br /&gt;

'''Special Abilities:''' Mercy is almost a prodigy with weapons, able to learn new techniques with relative ease.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Positive Personality Traits:''' Mercy has a natural overabundance of positive energy and good cheer. She is almost always happy, eager to help and quite intelligent, despite her sometimes flighty behaviour.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Negative Personality Traits:''' She can be a little too trusting at times, a trait which has been used against her on a few occasions. Although she is slow to anger, when her temper does flare she can be quite destructive, both to whoever wronged her and anything nearby&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Misc. Quirks:''' If she's not asleep, she's almost always in motion, pacing or fidgeting or at least doing something with her hands, as though she's utterly incapable of remaining still for any length of time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''History:'''&lt;br /&gt;
Two years ago, a young Miqo'te, barely an adult, woke up in the back of a caravan bound for Gridania, curled up among the boxes with no memory of how she had come to be there. No one on the caravan recognized the girl, and the caravan masters thought her a stowaway and tried to have her arrested.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That didn't end well for the guards. She fought back on instinct and escaped, fleeing into the city and eventually coming upon the Roost. In exchange for lodging, she offered to help out around the inn. When the proprietor asked her name, she had none to give, and so she chose one on the spot. She called herself Mercy, because she thought it sounded inspiring, and Peregrine, because it means &amp;quot;having a tendency to wander&amp;quot;, which she thought fitting for a lost amnesiac.&amp;quot; She celebrates that day as her Nameday.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She came upon the Lancer's Guild entirely by accident one day while she was on an errand for her employer, and watched the trainees for hours, mimicking their movements with a stick she picked up on the side of the road. The Guildmaster recognized her talent and invited her to formally train with them. As her training progressed, she branched out and embraced the life of an Adventurer and all of the thrills and excitement that come with it.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

== Basic Info ==&lt;br /&gt;
'''Physical Appearance:''' Alaena is a scholar and she looks every bit the part. She is tall and willowy to the point of appearing somewhat awkward and not particularly muscular, with skin that is fair from long hours indoors and fingers that are slender and well-manicured. Her eyes are two different colours; one is deep violet while the other is a shade of fuchsia, giving her a slightly exotic appearance despite her otherwise unremarkable features.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She wears her blonde hair short (thought not entirely by choice) and dreams of the day when it will grow long enough to braid, but that day never seems to arrive&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Place of residence:''' The Quicksand, Ul'Dah&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== History: ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alaena Miura was a mistake. At least, that's how she felt throughout her childhood. Born to a merchant family who regularly made trips between Ul'Dah and Gridania, Alaena was the unplanned third child and a source of great consternation for her father and mother. Unwilling to postpone potentially lucrative business trips to deal with the inconvenience of pregnancy, they were passing through the Black Shroud when Alaena was born.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With two older sons already being groomed to inherit the family business, Alaena was allowed to pursue her own interests, and quickly displayed talent for magecraft. Glad to be free of the distraction of raising a third child, her parents sent her off to a boarding school as soon as she was old enough.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unfortunately, Alaena's natural timidity made her an easy target for bullies, who tormented her for most of her formative years until she finally retaliated by unleashing a powerful fireball that nearly burned the dormitory to the ground. Despite her pleading that her reaction was self-defense, she was expelled from the school.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Knowing the reception that she was likely to receive when she returned home, Alaena did not take a direct route back to Ul'Dah and instead took a longer route that took her far afield. She remained missing for months, and with the eruption of war and subsequent calamity, she was presumed a casualty and mourned by her family, whose business had been all but decimated in the aftermath of Dalamud's Fall.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They received the shock of their lives when, nearly five years later, Alaena's father answered a knock at his door to find her standing on the doorstep&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
