:

As the 401st copy among those made for Xyla to command, this one was considered weak and as such was fused with Au Ra DNA to keep her intact. To Xyla, this doll IS her daughter named Alyx, reborn. Now with the title of Record Keeper, Alyx searches the realm to record, save and preserve as much information as possible for future generations.

: Alyx wears glasses on her face to help her read better and only takes them off for certain eye wear or to be taken seriously.

: Her red and black dress is her most recognizable attire. Giving her an elegant look. Mostly as casual wear.
: The black long gown is what she wears for colder climates or as an alternative when researching and reading.
: Combat attired is inspired by the Allag people of their time and her eye patch allows her to see Aether readings which she usually lacks without.

: A special Necklace hangs around her neck that contains a simple blue Materia gem that holds something more to it...

: While she may come off as neutral and Monotone, Alyx has slowly developed a personality akin to a curious and very careful type. Wanting to make sure nothing goes wrong and wishes to belong. But at times she overthinks and due to a lack of some emotions she might miss a few things. [https://i.imgur.com/ZHCTMn2.jpg Sometimes her emotions come out...]

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #F2F2F2;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Biography</div>===

After reading a journal, the history of this character is now exposed...

=====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Before Creation</div>=====
As recent information came to light, it was Quint's creator that started the mess. She lost Varthamith from those who were hunting them down and some time after...she had a child bore out of love.

Named Alyx.

As she was born, Alyx was far too weak and frail. She didn't take nutrients in and despite Xyla's best attempts, She ended up succumbing to death. Yet in her last hour, Xyla preserved her soul in a dormant Sprite Core. Vowing to create and give Alyx her second chance..

Even if she had to outsource through other means.

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

Created as the four hundred and first Doll, This Xyla was suppose to be an Eelzen but a complication arose with her weak spirit. Forcing the real Xyla to make an Au Ra shell instead since the scales and structure was more durable. Xyla only changed Quint's memories to give her a better chance at life when the void was taking hold of her. Yet it was Varthamith who abused the memory alteration to his own choices. Thus making him and Xyla look like the bad guys.

Months would pass and her first ever job was contracted by another Xyla under Varthamith's order. Poison some wine meant for a group close to Arala Makeo. She was reluctant as she hardly knew the woman despite sharing some memories like the rest. She eventually caved and did the deed...only failing since they found out before they could drink it.

After some time, Xyla slowly started to rebel after talking with a few people. As Lilith promised to help Xyla, she followed the word of Robert Colt and decided to finally join him. Her ties with Varthamith have been cut off since then and is now on her own. Living at the company house and promised to use her abilities when needed.

Now with the Augmentations attuned and the key to his tower figured out, she waits for Arala's word to assault. For when this all ends, she sees no other reason to keep living.

Sure enough their first encounter with her creator was just an example as her augmentations were taken and used to fuel her new dolls that she called 'Artificial Primals" when in turn they were just Elemental Constructs. After the Water Construct was defeated, the Water Augmentation was retrieved but it was depleted. Xyla desperately seeks a way to refuel and use this in time to open the gate to Varthamith's tower.

Once the augment of water was finally empowered, she created two new Augmentations to fill the missing elements. Ice and Lightning. While the Lightning Augmentation was helped by Leih'a, there came a moment when the Fire Augmentation Doll was spotted. Despite their best efforts to slay and end it before it got worse, the Augmentation didn't back down and instead sought to burn them. Without any choice, Xyla and the others had to shove the doll into the waterway in order to stop it for a time. The search sadly had to be put on halt after Cobalon, her odd carbuncle became frozen in fright after entering the water. For the time, the Fire Augmentation was left to roam...but it soon returned and after a successful group took it down, it gained it's second wind and nearly took Quint had it not been for one extra man and his Chocobo.

Cobalon believed there were more behind this than just Xyla and Varthamith...

From there, she headed to Limsa to find the Wind Augmentation that P'rita had been tracking for weeks, only to have it chained down and weakened upon combat. Before the last blow was made, the Elemental form of the Wind Augmented Doll spoke to them. Prompting Quint to feel an emotion she never felt...

A painful one.

She conversed with a few friends and made the choice to talk to the Earth Augmentation Doll before Arala can fight it. To try and convince it to join her. In the end they had to fight it but managed to save something inside.

With all Augmentations in hand she is ready to open the way...
Many of Xyla and Varthamith's minions slowed their progress but soon enough they would find themselves just about to face him. Yet something does not sit right with Quint.

Why have they ignored harming her and Arala? Hopefully answers will come soon before it's too late. And yet it slowly came to her...Xyla needed them. It was more evidence during their last battle as Arala was the Augmentation letting her be immune to damage while she was taken into the Void form. Thankfully because of her artificial nature, Quint couldn't be fully consumed. With one shred of hope, she would alter and force Xyla's body from within to not respond to allow the others to strike her down. Freeing them. In Xyla's last moment, she told Quint and the others about the Blue Tomestone that Quint had. As if suggesting it was something she needed...and that was it.

Quint on that day cried her non-existent heart out for the first time. Crying for the mother she wished had not indulged on Void energy.

Conflicted with the outcome of this fight and the questions unanswered, she asked to be left alone for a while...
---
===Finding the Truth===
With much aid from her friends and companions, Quint had much to experience...but still she had unanswered questions. The word 'Soulkin' shed more light on it. Yet her apprentice named Xanadu noticed the odd aetherial shape of Xyla around Quint lately.

For answers, they returned to the tower of Varthamith, now named Quintessence Tower for answers. And nothing. Even searching Xyla's personal quarters give nothing. But there was one name she remembered...

Alyx.

She stayed in the tower for weeks until Quint had a lead. The old home in the Shroud. A small cave hidden in the bends of Snakemolt that use to be her home.

All that was left was a journal...protected by deals of various magic. She had to contact Stein in order to aid her...

And all of it became clear.

She was originally a Duskwight, hence the dark coloration unlike the other or dolls. The daughter of Xyla and named Alyx. Quint on that day felt so much.

Anger, pain, happiness, not, sorrow and despair. All at once.

Whether or not Xyla was a monster...she did what she could to give Alyx a second chance at life.

Perhaps someday...Quint will be able to have her heart working again.

===Reunion (Final Arc)===
<spoiler>Sometime after the Hydra Incident with her company and using a lot of herself to raise her allies to their feet from their unconscious state she ended up in the medical ward from expelling a lot of blood from her. An incident not yet recorded due to her oddity of not having blood. In her time recovering and regenerating, she heard her father's voice. Varthamith was seeking to come back and further wishes to torment the poor girl than he already has. Yet someone was there to help her think otherwise...A long standing member of the company who was damaged the most in the fight against the Hydra. Ah'Lakshia. A strange one who eventually she wanted to help out of her inevitability.

After her two week long rest, the longest in her life, The company got a weird deal to help cleanse a dig site of undead that were digging up a large pile of bones in the Highland snow. However the group would first encounter Varthamith and for Alyx the second time seeing him...only this time he felt more powerful and imposing. It brought the company to a standstill, letting him teleport the mass of bones with him somewhere else...and from there he started his fight. Four riders he forged with his magic and a corpse of his choice to bring his own wave of destruction across the land but also distract everyone from his true plan. Each rider an opposite of the four elements.

While one after the other they would fall with a lot of effort, the rider of Death (Corruption of Earth) took the most out of the company. The first encounter saw a local region being harassed and in tne end he escaped to the deeper dunes. When they would fight again, Ah'Lakshia's condition worsened. Mid battle Ah'Lakshai would use all that she had remaining to deliver the blow to the rider of death but in the process her life would be snuffed out. Alyx for the first time in her life felt a major loss...to see someone die trying to help everyone. She broke down in tears just as hard as Xanadu, yet being told to never use the stone hurt more. She honored her friend's wish and left her to rest...
Varthamith would show up to merely taunt the group, expecting Alyx to beg and cry...but no more. The day that Ah'Lakshai died was the day Alyx no longer felt fear. No more did she fear death nor her father. In her anger she lashed out only to be pushed back before he vanished.

One by one each rider fell and one by one they got closer to their goal of stopping Varthamith...yet it was all to bide time for his true goal, to reanimate the bones of a dragon for his own use. Even when cornered the Lich would use one of the five Philosopher's Stones in existence and with both might and magic together released all ten thousand souls held within!
The souls would then coalest and join together the broken bones along with Varthamith to reform and reshape the once dead corpse of a Dragon into his new body. A strong and powerful dragon made to kill and destroy.

The battle was fierce and long. Many struggled to stand but in the end and with the aid of a friend from beyond the grave, Varthamith would finally fall. And in his last moment of existence he would tell his daughter and the rest this:
[[File:Wyrmfall Den 25.jpg|center]]
"The end of existence is upon us...I've seen worlds vanish before my eyes...And neither you nor your warrior of light can do anything to stop it. Savor your existence, for in time you too will become nothing..."
Whatever this warning meant it did not matter for now. Varthamith was finally vanquished and Alyx's friend put to rest, she seeks out the remaining Philosopher's Stones in hopes of keeping them safe and out of anyone's abusive hands.

But that is a tale for another time...
</spoiler>

=== Current ===

As time continued on, Alyx would find a student named Xanadu who would be her 'heir' to her spell work and understanding the Aetherial arts. She has much hope for her. The two finding some affection between each other after everything that has happened.

Alyx would then travel the land to reassemble her mother's fragmented soul to eventually bring her back as a butterfly. Though her mother is at her side, Alyx still yearns for her dream of being embraced by her mother and have a normal childhood. Though that will prove impossible by now...

She lives happily married to Xanadu and raising an adopted child named Suigin.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #F2F2F2;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Combat</div>===
<table style="position:center;" width="100%">
<tr>

: Combat is the last thing Alyx wishes to do, but in her situation she uses her crystals to further her skills and even fuses elements to make whole new spells
[[File:AlyxCombat.jpg|500px|center]]
She has six Augmentation Crystals intended to be her source of spell casting. Each one powered by their element.While she can cast most spells, the Aura Spells are a unique trait. With the recent introduction of a spell sword, Alyx is now more flexible in her spellcasting and Melee combat.
One downside to these Allagan made devices is that the frequency can get distrupted when within Allagan bases, rendering one or even two of them unable to tap into.

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background: #F2F2F2;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Abilities</div>===

'''Future Sight:''' Using four of her Augmentation stones, Alyx is capable of opening a portal to see into the future for others to see. However the most she can open it is up to five minutes and it cannot predict incidents past six months in advance, Nor is it possible to see into the past for other choices. These visions are purely speculative and never one hundred percent right. They are more what if's to the choices. She is unable to see these visions as she must maintain the portal instead. Only those who stick their body part inside can see into the future for themselves and not others.

Another quirk deals with other people. In some cases, the people are black silhouettes while rarely will a real person show up in them. The conditions to meet such a feat have to rely on the person's relation and how well known they are to one another.

'''Medicinal Food:''' Alyx is a horrible cook. She can't really cook meals to save her life...except for food that are remedies for illness and other ailments people suffer from. The odd quirk of her to make wonderful medicinal food over normal food is put into question with her sense of taste. One of her main goals is to make a fabled curry that Cobalon spoke of. Said to cure many and if any illnesses within a host while tasting heavenly to boot.

'''Siphoning and Transferring Aether:''' A process taught by Cobalon. The ability to transfer Aether from one source to another requires a lot of concentration and one wrong move can be fatal to the person attempting or the host in question. Especially if done on living organisms. The Siphoning process is about extracting a certain attuned aether to an element of it's type. From the six elements, Aether can be individually plucked and gathered in one's hand. This usually requires a 'totem' for living organisms since there is no good method to take aether away without harming the subject.

The two acts can be compared to how a weaver mends and makes robes.

'''Aether Repair:''' Like a real doll, Alyx's body can be damage and severed anywhere below the head and still live...however in the event she does lose a limb or take heavy damage, an abundance of Aether is required to mend what is lost. Her body is of a normal flesh consistency but her interior work is akin to the system of blood veins on mortal. In place of that, it's aether. From there, absorbing aether from where her wound is will slowly repair that spot. The bigger and more potent the damage, the more she may need. If her body was destroyed completely but her head remained, it would take upwards of three days to make a new body out of just Aether alone. Thus it's best to have all her parts together to hasten her recovery if possible.

'''Aetheris Scintillam:''' Alyx's limit break: Both astral and umbral energies combine into one pure unaspected blast as a large lazer striking the opponent from her augmentations. She is still mastering the ability.

'''Seventh Augmentation: Crimson Horn''' Tapping into the Witch's Heart, Alyx is capable of bypassing previous limitations and do tremendous spellworks...however overuse may run the risk of passing out or temporarily going into a short coma. Only nessicary on difficult missions.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #F2F2F2;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Strengths and Weaknesses</div>===
: Alyx excels in magic much like her mother to an unthinkable level. With many spell combinations, she has the means to cast magic of all schools...

: Because of this, Her body is weak and frail and at times can show signs of use and tear from casting too many spells. While she is powerful, she can eventually break or kill herself from using the augmentations for too long or too often.

: Since understanding more about her limits and upgrading the Augmentations, Alyx has been able to cast more spells so long as they don't tap into her directly.

:

As the 401st copy among those made for Xyla to command, this one was considered weak and as such was fused with Au Ra DNA to keep her intact. To Xyla, this doll IS her daughter named Alyx, reborn. Now with the title of Record Keeper, Alyx searches the realm to record, save and preserve as much information as possible for future generations.

: Alyx wears glasses on her face to help her read better and only takes them off for certain eye wear or to be taken seriously.

</gallery>
: Her red and black dress is her most recognizable attire. Giving her an elegant look. Mostly as casual wear.
: The black long gown is what she wears for colder climates or as an alternative when researching and reading.
: Combat attired is inspired by the Allag people of their time and her eye patch allows her to see Aether readings which she usually lacks without.

: A special Necklace hangs around her neck that contains a simple blue Materia gem that holds something more to it...

: While she may come off as neutral and Monotone, Alyx has slowly developed a personality akin to a curious and very careful type. Wanting to make sure nothing goes wrong and wishes to belong. But at times she overthinks and due to a lack of some emotions she might miss a few things. [https://i.imgur.com/ZHCTMn2.jpg Sometimes her emotions come out...]

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #F2F2F2;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Biography</div>===

After reading a journal, the history of this character is now exposed...

=====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Before Creation</div>=====
As recent information came to light, it was Quint's creator that started the mess. She lost Varthamith from those who were hunting them down and some time after...she had a child bore out of love.

Named Alyx.

As she was born, Alyx was far too weak and frail. She didn't take nutrients in and despite Xyla's best attempts, She ended up succumbing to death. Yet in her last hour, Xyla preserved her soul in a dormant Sprite Core. Vowing to create and give Alyx her second chance..

Even if she had to outsource through other means.

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

Created as the four hundred and first Doll, This Xyla was suppose to be an Eelzen but a complication arose with her weak spirit. Forcing the real Xyla to make an Au Ra shell instead since the scales and structure was more durable. Xyla only changed Quint's memories to give her a better chance at life when the void was taking hold of her. Yet it was Varthamith who abused the memory alteration to his own choices. Thus making him and Xyla look like the bad guys.

Months would pass and her first ever job was contracted by another Xyla under Varthamith's order. Poison some wine meant for a group close to Arala Makeo. She was reluctant as she hardly knew the woman despite sharing some memories like the rest. She eventually caved and did the deed...only failing since they found out before they could drink it.

After some time, Xyla slowly started to rebel after talking with a few people. As Lilith promised to help Xyla, she followed the word of Robert Colt and decided to finally join him. Her ties with Varthamith have been cut off since then and is now on her own. Living at the company house and promised to use her abilities when needed.

Now with the Augmentations attuned and the key to his tower figured out, she waits for Arala's word to assault. For when this all ends, she sees no other reason to keep living.

Sure enough their first encounter with her creator was just an example as her augmentations were taken and used to fuel her new dolls that she called 'Artificial Primals" when in turn they were just Elemental Constructs. After the Water Construct was defeated, the Water Augmentation was retrieved but it was depleted. Xyla desperately seeks a way to refuel and use this in time to open the gate to Varthamith's tower.

Once the augment of water was finally empowered, she created two new Augmentations to fill the missing elements. Ice and Lightning. While the Lightning Augmentation was helped by Leih'a, there came a moment when the Fire Augmentation Doll was spotted. Despite their best efforts to slay and end it before it got worse, the Augmentation didn't back down and instead sought to burn them. Without any choice, Xyla and the others had to shove the doll into the waterway in order to stop it for a time. The search sadly had to be put on halt after Cobalon, her odd carbuncle became frozen in fright after entering the water. For the time, the Fire Augmentation was left to roam...but it soon returned and after a successful group took it down, it gained it's second wind and nearly took Quint had it not been for one extra man and his Chocobo.

Cobalon believed there were more behind this than just Xyla and Varthamith...

From there, she headed to Limsa to find the Wind Augmentation that P'rita had been tracking for weeks, only to have it chained down and weakened upon combat. Before the last blow was made, the Elemental form of the Wind Augmented Doll spoke to them. Prompting Quint to feel an emotion she never felt...

A painful one.

She conversed with a few friends and made the choice to talk to the Earth Augmentation Doll before Arala can fight it. To try and convince it to join her. In the end they had to fight it but managed to save something inside.

With all Augmentations in hand she is ready to open the way...
Many of Xyla and Varthamith's minions slowed their progress but soon enough they would find themselves just about to face him. Yet something does not sit right with Quint.

Why have they ignored harming her and Arala? Hopefully answers will come soon before it's too late. And yet it slowly came to her...Xyla needed them. It was more evidence during their last battle as Arala was the Augmentation letting her be immune to damage while she was taken into the Void form. Thankfully because of her artificial nature, Quint couldn't be fully consumed. With one shred of hope, she would alter and force Xyla's body from within to not respond to allow the others to strike her down. Freeing them. In Xyla's last moment, she told Quint and the others about the Blue Tomestone that Quint had. As if suggesting it was something she needed...and that was it.

Quint on that day cried her non-existent heart out for the first time. Crying for the mother she wished had not indulged on Void energy.

Conflicted with the outcome of this fight and the questions unanswered, she asked to be left alone for a while...
---
===Finding the Truth===
With much aid from her friends and companions, Quint had much to experience...but still she had unanswered questions. The word 'Soulkin' shed more light on it. Yet her apprentice named Xanadu noticed the odd aetherial shape of Xyla around Quint lately.

For answers, they returned to the tower of Varthamith, now named Quintessence Tower for answers. And nothing. Even searching Xyla's personal quarters give nothing. But there was one name she remembered...

Alyx.

She stayed in the tower for weeks until Quint had a lead. The old home in the Shroud. A small cave hidden in the bends of Snakemolt that use to be her home.

All that was left was a journal...protected by deals of various magic. She had to contact Stein in order to aid her...

And all of it became clear.

She was originally a Duskwight, hence the dark coloration unlike the other or dolls. The daughter of Xyla and named Alyx. Quint on that day felt so much.

Anger, pain, happiness, not, sorrow and despair. All at once.

Whether or not Xyla was a monster...she did what she could to give Alyx a second chance at life.

Perhaps someday...Quint will be able to have her heart working again.

===Reunion (Final Arc)===
<spoiler>Sometime after the Hydra Incident with her company and using a lot of herself to raise her allies to their feet from their unconscious state she ended up in the medical ward from expelling a lot of blood from her. An incident not yet recorded due to her oddity of not having blood. In her time recovering and regenerating, she heard her father's voice. Varthamith was seeking to come back and further wishes to torment the poor girl than he already has. Yet someone was there to help her think otherwise...A long standing member of the company who was damaged the most in the fight against the Hydra. Ah'Lakshia. A strange one who eventually she wanted to help out of her inevitability.

After her two week long rest, the longest in her life, The company got a weird deal to help cleanse a dig site of undead that were digging up a large pile of bones in the Highland snow. However the group would first encounter Varthamith and for Alyx the second time seeing him...only this time he felt more powerful and imposing. It brought the company to a standstill, letting him teleport the mass of bones with him somewhere else...and from there he started his fight. Four riders he forged with his magic and a corpse of his choice to bring his own wave of destruction across the land but also distract everyone from his true plan. Each rider an opposite of the four elements.

While one after the other they would fall with a lot of effort, the rider of Death (Corruption of Earth) took the most out of the company. The first encounter saw a local region being harassed and in tne end he escaped to the deeper dunes. When they would fight again, Ah'Lakshia's condition worsened. Mid battle Ah'Lakshai would use all that she had remaining to deliver the blow to the rider of death but in the process her life would be snuffed out. Alyx for the first time in her life felt a major loss...to see someone die trying to help everyone. She broke down in tears just as hard as Xanadu, yet being told to never use the stone hurt more. She honored her friend's wish and left her to rest...
Varthamith would show up to merely taunt the group, expecting Alyx to beg and cry...but no more. The day that Ah'Lakshai died was the day Alyx no longer felt fear. No more did she fear death nor her father. In her anger she lashed out only to be pushed back before he vanished.

One by one each rider fell and one by one they got closer to their goal of stopping Varthamith...yet it was all to bide time for his true goal, to reanimate the bones of a dragon for his own use. Even when cornered the Lich would use one of the five Philosopher's Stones in existence and with both might and magic together released all ten thousand souls held within!
The souls would then coalest and join together the broken bones along with Varthamith to reform and reshape the once dead corpse of a Dragon into his new body. A strong and powerful dragon made to kill and destroy.

The battle was fierce and long. Many struggled to stand but in the end and with the aid of a friend from beyond the grave, Varthamith would finally fall. And in his last moment of existence he would tell his daughter and the rest this:
[[File:Wyrmfall Den 25.jpg|center]]
"The end of existence is upon us...I've seen worlds vanish before my eyes...And neither you nor your warrior of light can do anything to stop it. Savor your existence, for in time you too will become nothing..."
Whatever this warning meant it did not matter for now. Varthamith was finally vanquished and Alyx's friend put to rest, she seeks out the remaining Philosopher's Stones in hopes of keeping them safe and out of anyone's abusive hands.

But that is a tale for another time...
</spoiler>

=== Current ===

As time continued on, Alyx would find a student named Xanadu who would be her 'heir' to her spell work and understanding the Aetherial arts. She has much hope for her. The two finding some affection between each other after everything that has happened.

Alyx would then travel the land to reassemble her mother's fragmented soul to eventually bring her back as a butterfly. Though her mother is at her side, Alyx still yearns for her dream of being embraced by her mother and have a normal childhood. Though that will prove impossible by now...

She lives happily married to Xanadu and raising an adopted child named Suigin.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #F2F2F2;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Combat</div>===
<table style="position:center;" width="100%">
<tr>

: Combat is the last thing Alyx wishes to do, but in her situation she uses her crystals to further her skills and even fuses elements to make whole new spells
[[File:AlyxCombat.jpg|500px|center]]
She has six Augmentation Crystals intended to be her source of spell casting. Each one powered by their element.While she can cast most spells, the Aura Spells are a unique trait. With the recent introduction of a spell sword, Alyx is now more flexible in her spellcasting and Melee combat.
One downside to these Allagan made devices is that the frequency can get distrupted when within Allagan bases, rendering one or even two of them unable to tap into.

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background: #F2F2F2;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Abilities</div>===

'''Future Sight:''' Using four of her Augmentation stones, Alyx is capable of opening a portal to see into the future for others to see. However the most she can open it is up to five minutes and it cannot predict incidents past six months in advance, Nor is it possible to see into the past for other choices. These visions are purely speculative and never one hundred percent right. They are more what if's to the choices. She is unable to see these visions as she must maintain the portal instead. Only those who stick their body part inside can see into the future for themselves and not others.

Another quirk deals with other people. In some cases, the people are black silhouettes while rarely will a real person show up in them. The conditions to meet such a feat have to rely on the person's relation and how well known they are to one another.

'''Medicinal Food:''' Alyx is a horrible cook. She can't really cook meals to save her life...except for food that are remedies for illness and other ailments people suffer from. The odd quirk of her to make wonderful medicinal food over normal food is put into question with her sense of taste. One of her main goals is to make a fabled curry that Cobalon spoke of. Said to cure many and if any illnesses within a host while tasting heavenly to boot.

'''Siphoning and Transferring Aether:''' A process taught by Cobalon. The ability to transfer Aether from one source to another requires a lot of concentration and one wrong move can be fatal to the person attempting or the host in question. Especially if done on living organisms. The Siphoning process is about extracting a certain attuned aether to an element of it's type. From the six elements, Aether can be individually plucked and gathered in one's hand. This usually requires a 'totem' for living organisms since there is no good method to take aether away without harming the subject.

The two acts can be compared to how a weaver mends and makes robes.

'''Aether Repair:''' Like a real doll, Alyx's body can be damage and severed anywhere below the head and still live...however in the event she does lose a limb or take heavy damage, an abundance of Aether is required to mend what is lost. Her body is of a normal flesh consistency but her interior work is akin to the system of blood veins on mortal. In place of that, it's aether. From there, absorbing aether from where her wound is will slowly repair that spot. The bigger and more potent the damage, the more she may need. If her body was destroyed completely but her head remained, it would take upwards of three days to make a new body out of just Aether alone. Thus it's best to have all her parts together to hasten her recovery if possible.

'''Aetheris Scintillam:''' Alyx's limit break: Both astral and umbral energies combine into one pure unaspected blast as a large lazer striking the opponent from her augmentations. She is still mastering the ability.

'''Seventh Augmentation: Crimson Horn''' Tapping into the Witch's Heart, Alyx is capable of bypassing previous limitations and do tremendous spellworks...however overuse may run the risk of passing out or temporarily going into a short coma. Only nessicary on difficult missions.

[[File:Alyx in combat.gif|center]]

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #F2F2F2;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Strengths and Weaknesses</div>===
: Alyx excels in magic much like her mother to an unthinkable level. With many spell combinations, she has the means to cast magic of all schools...

: Because of this, Her body is weak and frail and at times can show signs of use and tear from casting too many spells. While she is powerful, she can eventually break or kill herself from using the augmentations for too long or too often.

: Since understanding more about her limits and upgrading the Augmentations, Alyx has been able to cast more spells so long as they don't tap into her directly.

:

As the 401st copy among those made for Xyla to command, this one was considered weak and as such was fused with Au Ra DNA to keep her intact. To Xyla, this doll IS her daughter named Alyx, reborn. Now with the title of Record Keeper, Alyx searches the realm to record, save and preserve as much information as possible for future generations.

: Alyx wears glasses on her face to help her read better and only takes them off for certain eye wear or to be taken seriously.

File:Alyx Research.jpg|Alyx's Research Clothes

</gallery>
: Her red and black dress is her most recognizable attire. Giving her an elegant look. Mostly as casual wear.
: The black long gown is what she wears for colder climates or as an alternative when researching and reading.
: Combat attired is inspired by the Allag people of their time and her eye patch allows her to see Aether readings which she usually lacks without.

: A special Necklace hangs around her neck that contains a simple blue Materia gem that holds something more to it...

: While she may come off as neutral and Monotone, Alyx has slowly developed a personality akin to a curious and very careful type. Wanting to make sure nothing goes wrong and wishes to belong. But at times she overthinks and due to a lack of some emotions she might miss a few things. [https://i.imgur.com/ZHCTMn2.jpg Sometimes her emotions come out...]

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #F2F2F2;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Biography</div>===

After reading a journal, the history of this character is now exposed...

=====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Before Creation</div>=====
As recent information came to light, it was Quint's creator that started the mess. She lost Varthamith from those who were hunting them down and some time after...she had a child bore out of love.

Named Alyx.

As she was born, Alyx was far too weak and frail. She didn't take nutrients in and despite Xyla's best attempts, She ended up succumbing to death. Yet in her last hour, Xyla preserved her soul in a dormant Sprite Core. Vowing to create and give Alyx her second chance..

Even if she had to outsource through other means.

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

Created as the four hundred and first Doll, This Xyla was suppose to be an Eelzen but a complication arose with her weak spirit. Forcing the real Xyla to make an Au Ra shell instead since the scales and structure was more durable. Xyla only changed Quint's memories to give her a better chance at life when the void was taking hold of her. Yet it was Varthamith who abused the memory alteration to his own choices. Thus making him and Xyla look like the bad guys.

Months would pass and her first ever job was contracted by another Xyla under Varthamith's order. Poison some wine meant for a group close to Arala Makeo. She was reluctant as she hardly knew the woman despite sharing some memories like the rest. She eventually caved and did the deed...only failing since they found out before they could drink it.

After some time, Xyla slowly started to rebel after talking with a few people. As Lilith promised to help Xyla, she followed the word of Robert Colt and decided to finally join him. Her ties with Varthamith have been cut off since then and is now on her own. Living at the company house and promised to use her abilities when needed.

Now with the Augmentations attuned and the key to his tower figured out, she waits for Arala's word to assault. For when this all ends, she sees no other reason to keep living.

Sure enough their first encounter with her creator was just an example as her augmentations were taken and used to fuel her new dolls that she called 'Artificial Primals" when in turn they were just Elemental Constructs. After the Water Construct was defeated, the Water Augmentation was retrieved but it was depleted. Xyla desperately seeks a way to refuel and use this in time to open the gate to Varthamith's tower.

Once the augment of water was finally empowered, she created two new Augmentations to fill the missing elements. Ice and Lightning. While the Lightning Augmentation was helped by Leih'a, there came a moment when the Fire Augmentation Doll was spotted. Despite their best efforts to slay and end it before it got worse, the Augmentation didn't back down and instead sought to burn them. Without any choice, Xyla and the others had to shove the doll into the waterway in order to stop it for a time. The search sadly had to be put on halt after Cobalon, her odd carbuncle became frozen in fright after entering the water. For the time, the Fire Augmentation was left to roam...but it soon returned and after a successful group took it down, it gained it's second wind and nearly took Quint had it not been for one extra man and his Chocobo.

Cobalon believed there were more behind this than just Xyla and Varthamith...

From there, she headed to Limsa to find the Wind Augmentation that P'rita had been tracking for weeks, only to have it chained down and weakened upon combat. Before the last blow was made, the Elemental form of the Wind Augmented Doll spoke to them. Prompting Quint to feel an emotion she never felt...

A painful one.

She conversed with a few friends and made the choice to talk to the Earth Augmentation Doll before Arala can fight it. To try and convince it to join her. In the end they had to fight it but managed to save something inside.

With all Augmentations in hand she is ready to open the way...
Many of Xyla and Varthamith's minions slowed their progress but soon enough they would find themselves just about to face him. Yet something does not sit right with Quint.

Why have they ignored harming her and Arala? Hopefully answers will come soon before it's too late. And yet it slowly came to her...Xyla needed them. It was more evidence during their last battle as Arala was the Augmentation letting her be immune to damage while she was taken into the Void form. Thankfully because of her artificial nature, Quint couldn't be fully consumed. With one shred of hope, she would alter and force Xyla's body from within to not respond to allow the others to strike her down. Freeing them. In Xyla's last moment, she told Quint and the others about the Blue Tomestone that Quint had. As if suggesting it was something she needed...and that was it.

Quint on that day cried her non-existent heart out for the first time. Crying for the mother she wished had not indulged on Void energy.

Conflicted with the outcome of this fight and the questions unanswered, she asked to be left alone for a while...
---
===Finding the Truth===
With much aid from her friends and companions, Quint had much to experience...but still she had unanswered questions. The word 'Soulkin' shed more light on it. Yet her apprentice named Xanadu noticed the odd aetherial shape of Xyla around Quint lately.

For answers, they returned to the tower of Varthamith, now named Quintessence Tower for answers. And nothing. Even searching Xyla's personal quarters give nothing. But there was one name she remembered...

Alyx.

She stayed in the tower for weeks until Quint had a lead. The old home in the Shroud. A small cave hidden in the bends of Snakemolt that use to be her home.

All that was left was a journal...protected by deals of various magic. She had to contact Stein in order to aid her...

And all of it became clear.

She was originally a Duskwight, hence the dark coloration unlike the other or dolls. The daughter of Xyla and named Alyx. Quint on that day felt so much.

Anger, pain, happiness, not, sorrow and despair. All at once.

Whether or not Xyla was a monster...she did what she could to give Alyx a second chance at life.

Perhaps someday...Quint will be able to have her heart working again.

===Reunion (Final Arc)===
<spoiler>Sometime after the Hydra Incident with her company and using a lot of herself to raise her allies to their feet from their unconscious state she ended up in the medical ward from expelling a lot of blood from her. An incident not yet recorded due to her oddity of not having blood. In her time recovering and regenerating, she heard her father's voice. Varthamith was seeking to come back and further wishes to torment the poor girl than he already has. Yet someone was there to help her think otherwise...A long standing member of the company who was damaged the most in the fight against the Hydra. Ah'Lakshia. A strange one who eventually she wanted to help out of her inevitability.

After her two week long rest, the longest in her life, The company got a weird deal to help cleanse a dig site of undead that were digging up a large pile of bones in the Highland snow. However the group would first encounter Varthamith and for Alyx the second time seeing him...only this time he felt more powerful and imposing. It brought the company to a standstill, letting him teleport the mass of bones with him somewhere else...and from there he started his fight. Four riders he forged with his magic and a corpse of his choice to bring his own wave of destruction across the land but also distract everyone from his true plan. Each rider an opposite of the four elements.

While one after the other they would fall with a lot of effort, the rider of Death (Corruption of Earth) took the most out of the company. The first encounter saw a local region being harassed and in tne end he escaped to the deeper dunes. When they would fight again, Ah'Lakshia's condition worsened. Mid battle Ah'Lakshai would use all that she had remaining to deliver the blow to the rider of death but in the process her life would be snuffed out. Alyx for the first time in her life felt a major loss...to see someone die trying to help everyone. She broke down in tears just as hard as Xanadu, yet being told to never use the stone hurt more. She honored her friend's wish and left her to rest...
Varthamith would show up to merely taunt the group, expecting Alyx to beg and cry...but no more. The day that Ah'Lakshai died was the day Alyx no longer felt fear. No more did she fear death nor her father. In her anger she lashed out only to be pushed back before he vanished.

One by one each rider fell and one by one they got closer to their goal of stopping Varthamith...yet it was all to bide time for his true goal, to reanimate the bones of a dragon for his own use. Even when cornered the Lich would use one of the five Philosopher's Stones in existence and with both might and magic together released all ten thousand souls held within!
The souls would then coalest and join together the broken bones along with Varthamith to reform and reshape the once dead corpse of a Dragon into his new body. A strong and powerful dragon made to kill and destroy.

The battle was fierce and long. Many struggled to stand but in the end and with the aid of a friend from beyond the grave, Varthamith would finally fall. And in his last moment of existence he would tell his daughter and the rest this:
[[File:Wyrmfall Den 25.jpg|center]]
"The end of existence is upon us...I've seen worlds vanish before my eyes...And neither you nor your warrior of light can do anything to stop it. Savor your existence, for in time you too will become nothing..."
Whatever this warning meant it did not matter for now. Varthamith was finally vanquished and Alyx's friend put to rest, she seeks out the remaining Philosopher's Stones in hopes of keeping them safe and out of anyone's abusive hands.

But that is a tale for another time...
</spoiler>

=== Current ===

As time continued on, Alyx would find a student named Xanadu who would be her 'heir' to her spell work and understanding the Aetherial arts. She has much hope for her. The two finding some affection between each other after everything that has happened.

Alyx would then travel the land to reassemble her mother's fragmented soul to eventually bring her back as a butterfly. Though her mother is at her side, Alyx still yearns for her dream of being embraced by her mother and have a normal childhood. Though that will prove impossible by now...

She lives happily married to Xanadu and raising an adopted child named Suigin.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #F2F2F2;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Combat</div>===
<table style="position:center;" width="100%">
<tr>

: Combat is the last thing Alyx wishes to do, but in her situation she uses her crystals to further her skills and even fuses elements to make whole new spells
[[File:AlyxCombat.jpg|500px|center]]
She has six Augmentation Crystals intended to be her source of spell casting. Each one powered by their element.While she can cast most spells, the Aura Spells are a unique trait. With the recent introduction of a spell sword, Alyx is now more flexible in her spellcasting and Melee combat.
One downside to these Allagan made devices is that the frequency can get distrupted when within Allagan bases, rendering one or even two of them unable to tap into.

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background: #F2F2F2;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Abilities</div>===

'''Future Sight:''' Using four of her Augmentation stones, Alyx is capable of opening a portal to see into the future for others to see. However the most she can open it is up to five minutes and it cannot predict incidents past six months in advance, Nor is it possible to see into the past for other choices. These visions are purely speculative and never one hundred percent right. They are more what if's to the choices. She is unable to see these visions as she must maintain the portal instead. Only those who stick their body part inside can see into the future for themselves and not others.

Another quirk deals with other people. In some cases, the people are black silhouettes while rarely will a real person show up in them. The conditions to meet such a feat have to rely on the person's relation and how well known they are to one another.

'''Medicinal Food:''' Alyx is a horrible cook. She can't really cook meals to save her life...except for food that are remedies for illness and other ailments people suffer from. The odd quirk of her to make wonderful medicinal food over normal food is put into question with her sense of taste. One of her main goals is to make a fabled curry that Cobalon spoke of. Said to cure many and if any illnesses within a host while tasting heavenly to boot.

'''Siphoning and Transferring Aether:''' A process taught by Cobalon. The ability to transfer Aether from one source to another requires a lot of concentration and one wrong move can be fatal to the person attempting or the host in question. Especially if done on living organisms. The Siphoning process is about extracting a certain attuned aether to an element of it's type. From the six elements, Aether can be individually plucked and gathered in one's hand. This usually requires a 'totem' for living organisms since there is no good method to take aether away without harming the subject.

The two acts can be compared to how a weaver mends and makes robes.

'''Aether Repair:''' Like a real doll, Alyx's body can be damage and severed anywhere below the head and still live...however in the event she does lose a limb or take heavy damage, an abundance of Aether is required to mend what is lost. Her body is of a normal flesh consistency but her interior work is akin to the system of blood veins on mortal. In place of that, it's aether. From there, absorbing aether from where her wound is will slowly repair that spot. The bigger and more potent the damage, the more she may need. If her body was destroyed completely but her head remained, it would take upwards of three days to make a new body out of just Aether alone. Thus it's best to have all her parts together to hasten her recovery if possible.

'''Aetheris Scintillam:''' Alyx's limit break: Both astral and umbral energies combine into one pure unaspected blast as a large lazer striking the opponent from her augmentations. She is still mastering the ability.

'''Seventh Augmentation: Crimson Horn''' Tapping into the Witch's Heart, Alyx is capable of bypassing previous limitations and do tremendous spellworks...however overuse may run the risk of passing out or temporarily going into a short coma. Only nessicary on difficult missions.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #F2F2F2;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Strengths and Weaknesses</div>===
: Alyx excels in magic much like her creator to an unthinkable level. With many spell combinations, she has the means to cast magic of all schools...

: Because of this, Her body is weak and frail and at times can show signs of use and tear from casting too many spells. While she is powerful, she can eventually break or kill herself from using the augmentations for too long or too often.

: Since understanding more about her limits and upgrading the Augmentations, Alyx has been able to cast more spells so long as they don't tap into her directly.

:

As the 401st copy among those made for Xyla to command, this one was considered weak and as such was fused with Au Ra DNA to keep her intact. To Xyla, this doll IS her daughter named Alyx, reborn. Now with the title of Record Keeper, Alyx searches the realm to record, save and preserve as much information as possible for future generations.

: Alyx wears glasses on her face to help her read better and only takes them off for certain eye wear or to be taken seriously.

: Her red and black dress is her most recognizable attire. Giving her an elegant look. Mostly as casual wear.
: The black long gown is what she wears for colder climates or as an alternative when researching and reading.
: Combat attired is inspired by the Allag people of their time and her eye patch allows her to see Aether readings which she usually lacks without.

: A special Necklace hangs around her neck that contains a simple blue Materia gem that holds something more to it...

: While she may come off as neutral and Monotone, Alyx has slowly developed a personality akin to a curious and very careful type. Wanting to make sure nothing goes wrong and wishes to belong. But at times she overthinks and due to a lack of some emotions she might miss a few things. [https://i.imgur.com/ZHCTMn2.jpg Sometimes her emotions come out...]

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #F2F2F2;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Biography</div>===

After reading a journal, the history of this character is now exposed...

=====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Before Creation</div>=====
As recent information came to light, it was Quint's creator that started the mess. She lost Varthamith from those who were hunting them down and some time after...she had a child bore out of love.

Named Alyx.

As she was born, Alyx was far too weak and frail. She didn't take nutrients in and despite Xyla's best attempts, She ended up succumbing to death. Yet in her last hour, Xyla preserved her soul in a dormant Sprite Core. Vowing to create and give Alyx her second chance..

Even if she had to outsource through other means.

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

Created as the four hundred and first Doll, This Xyla was suppose to be an Eelzen but a complication arose with her weak spirit. Forcing the real Xyla to make an Au Ra shell instead since the scales and structure was more durable. Xyla only changed Quint's memories to give her a better chance at life when the void was taking hold of her. Yet it was Varthamith who abused the memory alteration to his own choices. Thus making him and Xyla look like the bad guys.

Months would pass and her first ever job was contracted by another Xyla under Varthamith's order. Poison some wine meant for a group close to Arala Makeo. She was reluctant as she hardly knew the woman despite sharing some memories like the rest. She eventually caved and did the deed...only failing since they found out before they could drink it.

After some time, Xyla slowly started to rebel after talking with a few people. As Lilith promised to help Xyla, she followed the word of Robert Colt and decided to finally join him. Her ties with Varthamith have been cut off since then and is now on her own. Living at the company house and promised to use her abilities when needed.

Now with the Augmentations attuned and the key to his tower figured out, she waits for Arala's word to assault. For when this all ends, she sees no other reason to keep living.

Sure enough their first encounter with her creator was just an example as her augmentations were taken and used to fuel her new dolls that she called 'Artificial Primals" when in turn they were just Elemental Constructs. After the Water Construct was defeated, the Water Augmentation was retrieved but it was depleted. Xyla desperately seeks a way to refuel and use this in time to open the gate to Varthamith's tower.

Once the augment of water was finally empowered, she created two new Augmentations to fill the missing elements. Ice and Lightning. While the Lightning Augmentation was helped by Leih'a, there came a moment when the Fire Augmentation Doll was spotted. Despite their best efforts to slay and end it before it got worse, the Augmentation didn't back down and instead sought to burn them. Without any choice, Xyla and the others had to shove the doll into the waterway in order to stop it for a time. The search sadly had to be put on halt after Cobalon, her odd carbuncle became frozen in fright after entering the water. For the time, the Fire Augmentation was left to roam...but it soon returned and after a successful group took it down, it gained it's second wind and nearly took Quint had it not been for one extra man and his Chocobo.

Cobalon believed there were more behind this than just Xyla and Varthamith...

From there, she headed to Limsa to find the Wind Augmentation that P'rita had been tracking for weeks, only to have it chained down and weakened upon combat. Before the last blow was made, the Elemental form of the Wind Augmented Doll spoke to them. Prompting Quint to feel an emotion she never felt...

A painful one.

She conversed with a few friends and made the choice to talk to the Earth Augmentation Doll before Arala can fight it. To try and convince it to join her. In the end they had to fight it but managed to save something inside.

With all Augmentations in hand she is ready to open the way...
Many of Xyla and Varthamith's minions slowed their progress but soon enough they would find themselves just about to face him. Yet something does not sit right with Quint.

Why have they ignored harming her and Arala? Hopefully answers will come soon before it's too late. And yet it slowly came to her...Xyla needed them. It was more evidence during their last battle as Arala was the Augmentation letting her be immune to damage while she was taken into the Void form. Thankfully because of her artificial nature, Quint couldn't be fully consumed. With one shred of hope, she would alter and force Xyla's body from within to not respond to allow the others to strike her down. Freeing them. In Xyla's last moment, she told Quint and the others about the Blue Tomestone that Quint had. As if suggesting it was something she needed...and that was it.

Quint on that day cried her non-existent heart out for the first time. Crying for the mother she wished had not indulged on Void energy.

Conflicted with the outcome of this fight and the questions unanswered, she asked to be left alone for a while...
---
===Finding the Truth===
With much aid from her friends and companions, Quint had much to experience...but still she had unanswered questions. The word 'Soulkin' shed more light on it. Yet her apprentice named Xanadu noticed the odd aetherial shape of Xyla around Quint lately.

For answers, they returned to the tower of Varthamith, now named Quintessence Tower for answers. And nothing. Even searching Xyla's personal quarters give nothing. But there was one name she remembered...

Alyx.

She stayed in the tower for weeks until Quint had a lead. The old home in the Shroud. A small cave hidden in the bends of Snakemolt that use to be her home.

All that was left was a journal...protected by deals of various magic. She had to contact Stein in order to aid her...

And all of it became clear.

She was originally a Duskwight, hence the dark coloration unlike the other or dolls. The daughter of Xyla and named Alyx. Quint on that day felt so much.

Anger, pain, happiness, not, sorrow and despair. All at once.

Whether or not Xyla was a monster...she did what she could to give Alyx a second chance at life.

Perhaps someday...Quint will be able to have her heart working again.

===Reunion (Final Arc)===
<spoiler>Sometime after the Hydra Incident with her company and using a lot of herself to raise her allies to their feet from their unconscious state she ended up in the medical ward from expelling a lot of blood from her. An incident not yet recorded due to her oddity of not having blood. In her time recovering and regenerating, she heard her father's voice. Varthamith was seeking to come back and further wishes to torment the poor girl than he already has. Yet someone was there to help her think otherwise...A long standing member of the company who was damaged the most in the fight against the Hydra. Ah'Lakshia. A strange one who eventually she wanted to help out of her inevitability.

After her two week long rest, the longest in her life, The company got a weird deal to help cleanse a dig site of undead that were digging up a large pile of bones in the Highland snow. However the group would first encounter Varthamith and for Alyx the second time seeing him...only this time he felt more powerful and imposing. It brought the company to a standstill, letting him teleport the mass of bones with him somewhere else...and from there he started his fight. Four riders he forged with his magic and a corpse of his choice to bring his own wave of destruction across the land but also distract everyone from his true plan. Each rider an opposite of the four elements.

While one after the other they would fall with a lot of effort, the rider of Death (Corruption of Earth) took the most out of the company. The first encounter saw a local region being harassed and in tne end he escaped to the deeper dunes. When they would fight again, Ah'Lakshia's condition worsened. Mid battle Ah'Lakshai would use all that she had remaining to deliver the blow to the rider of death but in the process her life would be snuffed out. Alyx for the first time in her life felt a major loss...to see someone die trying to help everyone. She broke down in tears just as hard as Xanadu, yet being told to never use the stone hurt more. She honored her friend's wish and left her to rest...
Varthamith would show up to merely taunt the group, expecting Alyx to beg and cry...but no more. The day that Ah'Lakshai died was the day Alyx no longer felt fear. No more did she fear death nor her father. In her anger she lashed out only to be pushed back before he vanished.

One by one each rider fell and one by one they got closer to their goal of stopping Varthamith...yet it was all to bide time for his true goal, to reanimate the bones of a dragon for his own use. Even when cornered the Lich would use one of the five Philosopher's Stones in existence and with both might and magic together released all ten thousand souls held within!
The souls would then coalest and join together the broken bones along with Varthamith to reform and reshape the once dead corpse of a Dragon into his new body. A strong and powerful dragon made to kill and destroy.

The battle was fierce and long. Many struggled to stand but in the end and with the aid of a friend from beyond the grave, Varthamith would finally fall. And in his last moment of existence he would tell his daughter and the rest this:
[[File:Wyrmfall Den 25.jpg|center]]
"The end of existence is upon us...I've seen worlds vanish before my eyes...And neither you nor your warrior of light can do anything to stop it. Savor your existence, for in time you too will become nothing..."
Whatever this warning meant it did not matter for now. Varthamith was finally vanquished and Alyx's friend put to rest, she seeks out the remaining Philosopher's Stones in hopes of keeping them safe and out of anyone's abusive hands.

But that is a tale for another time...
</spoiler>

=== Current ===

As time continued on, Alyx would find a student named Xanadu who would be her 'heir' to her spell work and understanding the Aetherial arts. She has much hope for her. The two finding some affection between each other after everything that has happened.

Alyx would then travel the land to reassemble her mother's fragmented soul to eventually bring her back as a butterfly. Though her mother is at her side, Alyx still yearns for her dream of being embraced by her mother and have a normal childhood. Though that will prove impossible by now...

She lives happily married to Xanadu and raising an adopted child named Suigin.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #F2F2F2;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Combat</div>===
<table style="position:center;" width="100%">
<tr>

: Combat is the last thing Alyx wishes to do, but in her situation she uses her crystals to further her skills and even fuses elements to make whole new spells
[[File:AlyxCombat.jpg|500px|center]]
She has six Augmentation Crystals intended to be her source of spell casting. Each one powered by their element.While she can cast most spells, the Aura Spells are a unique trait. With the recent introduction of a spell sword, Alyx is now more flexible in her spellcasting and Melee combat.
One downside to these Allagan made devices is that the frequency can get distrupted when within Allagan bases, rendering one or even two of them unable to tap into.

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background: #F2F2F2;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Abilities</div>===

'''Future Sight:''' Using four of her Augmentation stones, Alyx is capable of opening a portal to see into the future for others to see. However the most she can open it is up to five minutes and it cannot predict incidents past six months in advance, Nor is it possible to see into the past for other choices. These visions are purely speculative and never one hundred percent right. They are more what if's to the choices. She is unable to see these visions as she must maintain the portal instead. Only those who stick their body part inside can see into the future for themselves and not others.

Another quirk deals with other people. In some cases, the people are black silhouettes while rarely will a real person show up in them. The conditions to meet such a feat have to rely on the person's relation and how well known they are to one another.

'''Medicinal Food:''' Alyx is a horrible cook. She can't really cook meals to save her life...except for food that are remedies for illness and other ailments people suffer from. The odd quirk of her to make wonderful medicinal food over normal food is put into question with her sense of taste. One of her main goals is to make a fabled curry that Cobalon spoke of. Said to cure many and if any illnesses within a host while tasting heavenly to boot.

'''Siphoning and Transferring Aether:''' A process taught by Cobalon. The ability to transfer Aether from one source to another requires a lot of concentration and one wrong move can be fatal to the person attempting or the host in question. Especially if done on living organisms. The Siphoning process is about extracting a certain attuned aether to an element of it's type. From the six elements, Aether can be individually plucked and gathered in one's hand. This usually requires a 'totem' for living organisms since there is no good method to take aether away without harming the subject.

The two acts can be compared to how a weaver mends and makes robes.

'''Aether Repair:''' Like a real doll, Alyx's body can be damage and severed anywhere below the head and still live...however in the event she does lose a limb or take heavy damage, an abundance of Aether is required to mend what is lost. Her body is of a normal flesh consistency but her interior work is akin to the system of blood veins on mortal. In place of that, it's aether. From there, absorbing aether from where her wound is will slowly repair that spot. The bigger and more potent the damage, the more she may need. If her body was destroyed completely but her head remained, it would take upwards of three days to make a new body out of just Aether alone. Thus it's best to have all her parts together to hasten her recovery if possible.

'''Elementium:''' Combining elements of all six Aether attuned crystals, Alyx would be able to create the Elementium spell type. Whether in bolt or otherwise, this element uses all Umbral and Astral spell types into one...however due to the unstable nature of this spell it is considered so situational that it's more than a last resort. It is the suicidal effort.

''"Elementium feels as if you are forging a planet of power within your hands. Trying to balance all the elements in harmony. One day I can use it but...until then it is far too dangerous to use less I want to nearly rend my spirit." -Alyx Quintessence''

'''Seventh Augmentation: Crimson Horn''' Currently not much is known about the odd phenomenon. Her first time using this ability happened after the fall of a friend to take out The Rider of Death under her father's command.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #F2F2F2;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Strengths and Weaknesses</div>===
: Alyx excels in magic much like her creator to an unthinkable level. With many spell combinations, she has the means to cast magic of all schools...

: Because of this, Her body is weak and frail and at times can show signs of use and tear from casting too many spells. While she is powerful, she can eventually break or kill herself from using the augmentations for too long or too often.

: Since understanding more about her limits and upgrading the Augmentations, Alyx has been able to cast more spells so long as they don't tap into her directly.

:

As the 401st doll among those made for Xyla to command, this one was considered weak and as such was fused with Au Ra DNA to keep her intact. To Xyla, this doll IS her daughter named Alyx, reborn. Now with the title of Record Keeper, Alyx now searches the realm to record, save and preserve as much information as possible for future generations.

: Alyx wears glasses on her face to help her read better and only takes them off for certain eye wear or to be taken seriously.

: Her red and black dress is her most recognizable attire. Giving her an elegant look. Mostly as casual wear.
: The black long gown is what she wears for colder climates or as an alternative when researching and reading.
: Combat attired is inspired by the Allag people of their time and her eye patch allows her to see Aether readings which she usually lacks without.

: A special Necklace hangs around her neck that contains a simple blue Materia gem that holds something more to it...

: While she may come off as neutral and Monotone, Alyx has slowly developed a personality akin to a curious and very careful type. Wanting to make sure nothing goes wrong and wishes to belong. But at times she overthinks and due to a lack of some emotions she might miss a few things. [https://i.imgur.com/ZHCTMn2.jpg Sometimes her emotions come out...]

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #F2F2F2;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Biography</div>===

After reading a journal, the history of this character is now exposed...

=====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Before Creation</div>=====
As recent information came to light, it was Quint's creator that started the mess. She lost Varthamith from those who were hunting them down and some time after...she had a child bore out of love.

Named Alyx.

As she was born, Alyx was far too weak and frail. She didn't take nutrients in and despite Xyla's best attempts, She ended up succumbing to death. Yet in her last hour, Xyla preserved her soul in a dormant Sprite Core. Vowing to create and give Alyx her second chance..

Even if she had to outsource through other means.

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

Created as the four hundred and first Doll, This Xyla was suppose to be an Eelzen but a complication arose with her weak spirit. Forcing the real Xyla to make an Au Ra shell instead since the scales and structure was more durable. Xyla only changed Quint's memories to give her a better chance at life when the void was taking hold of her. Yet it was Varthamith who abused the memory alteration to his own choices. Thus making him and Xyla look like the bad guys.

Months would pass and her first ever job was contracted by another Xyla under Varthamith's order. Poison some wine meant for a group close to Arala Makeo. She was reluctant as she hardly knew the woman despite sharing some memories like the rest. She eventually caved and did the deed...only failing since they found out before they could drink it.

After some time, Xyla slowly started to rebel after talking with a few people. As Lilith promised to help Xyla, she followed the word of Robert Colt and decided to finally join him. Her ties with Varthamith have been cut off since then and is now on her own. Living at the company house and promised to use her abilities when needed.

Now with the Augmentations attuned and the key to his tower figured out, she waits for Arala's word to assault. For when this all ends, she sees no other reason to keep living.

Sure enough their first encounter with her creator was just an example as her augmentations were taken and used to fuel her new dolls that she called 'Artificial Primals" when in turn they were just Elemental Constructs. After the Water Construct was defeated, the Water Augmentation was retrieved but it was depleted. Xyla desperately seeks a way to refuel and use this in time to open the gate to Varthamith's tower.

Once the augment of water was finally empowered, she created two new Augmentations to fill the missing elements. Ice and Lightning. While the Lightning Augmentation was helped by Leih'a, there came a moment when the Fire Augmentation Doll was spotted. Despite their best efforts to slay and end it before it got worse, the Augmentation didn't back down and instead sought to burn them. Without any choice, Xyla and the others had to shove the doll into the waterway in order to stop it for a time. The search sadly had to be put on halt after Cobalon, her odd carbuncle became frozen in fright after entering the water. For the time, the Fire Augmentation was left to roam...but it soon returned and after a successful group took it down, it gained it's second wind and nearly took Quint had it not been for one extra man and his Chocobo.

Cobalon believed there were more behind this than just Xyla and Varthamith...

From there, she headed to Limsa to find the Wind Augmentation that P'rita had been tracking for weeks, only to have it chained down and weakened upon combat. Before the last blow was made, the Elemental form of the Wind Augmented Doll spoke to them. Prompting Quint to feel an emotion she never felt...

A painful one.

She conversed with a few friends and made the choice to talk to the Earth Augmentation Doll before Arala can fight it. To try and convince it to join her. In the end they had to fight it but managed to save something inside.

With all Augmentations in hand she is ready to open the way...
Many of Xyla and Varthamith's minions slowed their progress but soon enough they would find themselves just about to face him. Yet something does not sit right with Quint.

Why have they ignored harming her and Arala? Hopefully answers will come soon before it's too late. And yet it slowly came to her...Xyla needed them. It was more evidence during their last battle as Arala was the Augmentation letting her be immune to damage while she was taken into the Void form. Thankfully because of her artificial nature, Quint couldn't be fully consumed. With one shred of hope, she would alter and force Xyla's body from within to not respond to allow the others to strike her down. Freeing them. In Xyla's last moment, she told Quint and the others about the Blue Tomestone that Quint had. As if suggesting it was something she needed...and that was it.

Quint on that day cried her non-existent heart out for the first time. Crying for the mother she wished had not indulged on Void energy.

Conflicted with the outcome of this fight and the questions unanswered, she asked to be left alone for a while...
---
===Finding the Truth===
With much aid from her friends and companions, Quint had much to experience...but still she had unanswered questions. The word 'Soulkin' shed more light on it. Yet her apprentice named Xanadu noticed the odd aetherial shape of Xyla around Quint lately.

For answers, they returned to the tower of Varthamith, now named Quintessence Tower for answers. And nothing. Even searching Xyla's personal quarters give nothing. But there was one name she remembered...

Alyx.

She stayed in the tower for weeks until Quint had a lead. The old home in the Shroud. A small cave hidden in the bends of Snakemolt that use to be her home.

All that was left was a journal...protected by deals of various magic. She had to contact Stein in order to aid her...

And all of it became clear.

She was originally a Duskwight, hence the dark coloration unlike the other or dolls. The daughter of Xyla and named Alyx. Quint on that day felt so much.

Anger, pain, happiness, not, sorrow and despair. All at once.

Whether or not Xyla was a monster...she did what she could to give Alyx a second chance at life.

Perhaps someday...Quint will be able to have her heart working again.

===Reunion (Final Arc)===
<spoiler>Sometime after the Hydra Incident with her company and using a lot of herself to raise her allies to their feet from their unconscious state she ended up in the medical ward from expelling a lot of blood from her. An incident not yet recorded due to her oddity of not having blood. In her time recovering and regenerating, she heard her father's voice. Varthamith was seeking to come back and further wishes to torment the poor girl than he already has. Yet someone was there to help her think otherwise...A long standing member of the company who was damaged the most in the fight against the Hydra. Ah'Lakshia. A strange one who eventually she wanted to help out of her inevitability.

After her two week long rest, the longest in her life, The company got a weird deal to help cleanse a dig site of undead that were digging up a large pile of bones in the Highland snow. However the group would first encounter Varthamith and for Alyx the second time seeing him...only this time he felt more powerful and imposing. It brought the company to a standstill, letting him teleport the mass of bones with him somewhere else...and from there he started his fight. Four riders he forged with his magic and a corpse of his choice to bring his own wave of destruction across the land but also distract everyone from his true plan. Each rider an opposite of the four elements.

While one after the other they would fall with a lot of effort, the rider of Death (Corruption of Earth) took the most out of the company. The first encounter saw a local region being harassed and in tne end he escaped to the deeper dunes. When they would fight again, Ah'Lakshia's condition worsened. Mid battle Ah'Lakshai would use all that she had remaining to deliver the blow to the rider of death but in the process her life would be snuffed out. Alyx for the first time in her life felt a major loss...to see someone die trying to help everyone. She broke down in tears just as hard as Xanadu, yet being told to never use the stone hurt more. She honored her friend's wish and left her to rest...
Varthamith would show up to merely taunt the group, expecting Alyx to beg and cry...but no more. The day that Ah'Lakshai died was the day Alyx no longer felt fear. No more did she fear death nor her father. In her anger she lashed out only to be pushed back before he vanished.

One by one each rider fell and one by one they got closer to their goal of stopping Varthamith...yet it was all to bide time for his true goal, to reanimate the bones of a dragon for his own use. Even when cornered the Lich would use one of the five Philosopher's Stones in existence and with both might and magic together released all ten thousand souls held within!
The souls would then coalest and join together the broken bones along with Varthamith to reform and reshape the once dead corpse of a Dragon into his new body. A strong and powerful dragon made to kill and destroy.

The battle was fierce and long. Many struggled to stand but in the end and with the aid of a friend from beyond the grave, Varthamith would finally fall. And in his last moment of existence he would tell his daughter and the rest this:
[[File:Wyrmfall Den 25.jpg|center]]
"The end of existence is upon us...I've seen worlds vanish before my eyes...And neither you nor your warrior of light can do anything to stop it. Savor your existence, for in time you too will become nothing..."
Whatever this warning meant it did not matter for now. Varthamith was finally vanquished and Alyx's friend put to rest, she seeks out the remaining Philosopher's Stones in hopes of keeping them safe and out of anyone's abusive hands.

But that is a tale for another time...
</spoiler>

=== Current ===

As time continued on, Alyx would find a student named Xanadu who would be her 'heir' to her spell work and understanding the Aetherial arts. She has much hope for her. The two finding some affection between each other after everything that has happened.

Alyx would then travel the land to reassemble her mother's fragmented soul to eventually bring her back as a butterfly. Though her mother is at her side, Alyx still yearns for her dream of being embraced by her mother and have a normal childhood. Though that will prove impossible by now...

She lives happily married to Xanadu and raising an adopted child named Suigin.

<table style="position:center;" width="100%">
<tr>

: Combat is the last thing Alyx wishes to do, but in her situation she uses her crystals to further her skills and even fuses elements to make whole new spells
[[File:AlyxCombat.jpg|500px|center]]
She has six Augmentation Crystals intended to be her source of spell casting. Each one powered by their element.While she can cast most spells, the Aura Spells are a unique trait. With the recent introduction of a spell sword, Alyx is now more flexible in her spellcasting and Melee combat. There is a Seventh Augmentation Crystal yet that one has yet to be fully realized...

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background: #F2F2F2;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Abilities</div>===

'''Future Sight:''' Using four of her Augmentation stones, Alyx is capable of opening a portal to see into the future for others to see. However the most she can open it is up to five minutes and it cannot predict incidents past six months in advance, Nor is it possible to see into the past for other choices. These visions are purely speculative and never one hundred percent right. They are more what if's to the choices. She is unable to see these visions as she must maintain the portal instead. Only those who stick their body part inside can see into the future for themselves and not others.

Another quirk deals with other people. In some cases, the people are black silhouettes while rarely will a real person show up in them. The conditions to meet such a feat have to rely on the person's relation and how well known they are to one another.

'''Medicinal Food:''' Alyx is a horrible cook. She can't really cook meals to save her life...except for food that are remedies for illness and other ailments people suffer from. The odd quirk of her to make wonderful medicinal food over normal food is put into question with her sense of taste. One of her main goals is to make a fabled curry that Cobalon spoke of. Said to cure many and if any illnesses within a host while tasting heavenly to boot.

'''Siphoning and Transferring Aether:''' A process taught by Cobalon. The ability to transfer Aether from one source to another requires a lot of concentration and one wrong move can be fatal to the person attempting or the host in question. Especially if done on living organisms. The Siphoning process is about extracting a certain attuned aether to an element of it's type. From the six elements, Aether can be individually plucked and gathered in one's hand. This usually requires a 'totem' for living organisms since there is no good method to take aether away without harming the subject.

The two acts can be compared to how a weaver mends and makes robes.

'''Aether Repair:''' Like a real doll, Alyx's body can be damage and severed anywhere below the head and still live...however in the event she does lose a limb or take heavy damage, an abundance of Aether is required to mend what is lost. Her body is of a normal flesh consistency but her interior work is akin to the system of blood veins on mortal. In place of that, it's aether. From there, absorbing aether from where her wound is will slowly repair that spot. The bigger and more potent the damage, the more she may need. If her body was destroyed completely but her head remained, it would take upwards of three days to make a new body out of just Aether alone. Thus it's best to have all her parts together to hasten her recovery if possible.

'''Elementium:''' Combining elements of all six Aether attuned crystals, Alyx would be able to create the Elementium spell type. Whether in bolt or otherwise, this element uses all Umbral and Astral spell types into one...however due to the unstable nature of this spell it is considered so situational that it's more than a last resort. It is the suicidal effort.

''"Elementium feels as if you are forging a planet of power within your hands. Trying to balance all the elements in harmony. One day I can use it but...until then it is far too dangerous to use less I want to nearly rend my spirit." -Alyx Quintessence''

'''Seventh Augmentation: Crimson Horn''' Currently not much is known about the odd phenomenon. Her first time using this ability happened after the fall of a friend to take out The Rider of Death under her father's command.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #F2F2F2;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Strengths and Weaknesses</div>===
: Alyx excels in magic much like her creator to an unthinkable level. With many spell combinations, she has the means to cast magic of all schools...

: Because of this, Her body is weak and frail and at times can show signs of use and tear from casting too many spells. While she is powerful, she can eventually break or kill herself from using the augmentations for too long or too often.

: Since understanding more about her limits and upgrading the Augmentations, Alyx has been able to cast more spells so long as they don't tap into her directly.

:

As the 401st doll among those made for Xyla to command, this one was considered weak and as such was fused with Au Ra DNA to keep her intact. To Xyla, this doll IS her daughter named Alyx, reborn. Now with the title of Record Keeper, Alyx now searches the realm to record, save and preserve as much information as possible for future generations.

: Her red and black dress is her most recognizable attire. Giving her an elegant look. Mostly as casual wear.
: The black long gown is what she wears for colder climates or as an alternative when researching and reading.
: Combat attired is inspired by the Allag people of their time and her eye patch allows her to see Aether readings which she usually lacks without.

: A special Necklace hangs around her neck that contains a simple blue Materia gem that holds something more to it...

: While she may come off as neutral and Monotone, Alyx has slowly developed a personality akin to a curious and very careful type. Wanting to make sure nothing goes wrong and wishes to belong. But at times she overthinks and due to a lack of some emotions she might miss a few things. [https://i.imgur.com/ZHCTMn2.jpg Sometimes her emotions come out...]

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #F2F2F2;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Biography</div>===

After reading a journal, the history of this character is now exposed...

=====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Before Creation</div>=====
As recent information came to light, it was Quint's creator that started the mess. She lost Varthamith from those who were hunting them down and some time after...she had a child bore out of love.

Named Alyx.

As she was born, Alyx was far too weak and frail. She didn't take nutrients in and despite Xyla's best attempts, She ended up succumbing to death. Yet in her last hour, Xyla preserved her soul in a dormant Sprite Core. Vowing to create and give Alyx her second chance..

Even if she had to outsource through other means.

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

Created as the four hundred and first Doll, This Xyla was suppose to be an Eelzen but a complication arose with her weak spirit. Forcing the real Xyla to make an Au Ra shell instead since the scales and structure was more durable. Xyla only changed Quint's memories to give her a better chance at life when the void was taking hold of her. Yet it was Varthamith who abused the memory alteration to his own choices. Thus making him and Xyla look like the bad guys.

Months would pass and her first ever job was contracted by another Xyla under Varthamith's order. Poison some wine meant for a group close to Arala Makeo. She was reluctant as she hardly knew the woman despite sharing some memories like the rest. She eventually caved and did the deed...only failing since they found out before they could drink it.

After some time, Xyla slowly started to rebel after talking with a few people. As Lilith promised to help Xyla, she followed the word of Robert Colt and decided to finally join him. Her ties with Varthamith have been cut off since then and is now on her own. Living at the company house and promised to use her abilities when needed.

Now with the Augmentations attuned and the key to his tower figured out, she waits for Arala's word to assault. For when this all ends, she sees no other reason to keep living.

Sure enough their first encounter with her creator was just an example as her augmentations were taken and used to fuel her new dolls that she called 'Artificial Primals" when in turn they were just Elemental Constructs. After the Water Construct was defeated, the Water Augmentation was retrieved but it was depleted. Xyla desperately seeks a way to refuel and use this in time to open the gate to Varthamith's tower.

Once the augment of water was finally empowered, she created two new Augmentations to fill the missing elements. Ice and Lightning. While the Lightning Augmentation was helped by Leih'a, there came a moment when the Fire Augmentation Doll was spotted. Despite their best efforts to slay and end it before it got worse, the Augmentation didn't back down and instead sought to burn them. Without any choice, Xyla and the others had to shove the doll into the waterway in order to stop it for a time. The search sadly had to be put on halt after Cobalon, her odd carbuncle became frozen in fright after entering the water. For the time, the Fire Augmentation was left to roam...but it soon returned and after a successful group took it down, it gained it's second wind and nearly took Quint had it not been for one extra man and his Chocobo.

Cobalon believed there were more behind this than just Xyla and Varthamith...

From there, she headed to Limsa to find the Wind Augmentation that P'rita had been tracking for weeks, only to have it chained down and weakened upon combat. Before the last blow was made, the Elemental form of the Wind Augmented Doll spoke to them. Prompting Quint to feel an emotion she never felt...

A painful one.

She conversed with a few friends and made the choice to talk to the Earth Augmentation Doll before Arala can fight it. To try and convince it to join her. In the end they had to fight it but managed to save something inside.

With all Augmentations in hand she is ready to open the way...
Many of Xyla and Varthamith's minions slowed their progress but soon enough they would find themselves just about to face him. Yet something does not sit right with Quint.

Why have they ignored harming her and Arala? Hopefully answers will come soon before it's too late. And yet it slowly came to her...Xyla needed them. It was more evidence during their last battle as Arala was the Augmentation letting her be immune to damage while she was taken into the Void form. Thankfully because of her artificial nature, Quint couldn't be fully consumed. With one shred of hope, she would alter and force Xyla's body from within to not respond to allow the others to strike her down. Freeing them. In Xyla's last moment, she told Quint and the others about the Blue Tomestone that Quint had. As if suggesting it was something she needed...and that was it.

Quint on that day cried her non-existent heart out for the first time. Crying for the mother she wished had not indulged on Void energy.

Conflicted with the outcome of this fight and the questions unanswered, she asked to be left alone for a while...
---
===Finding the Truth===
With much aid from her friends and companions, Quint had much to experience...but still she had unanswered questions. The word 'Soulkin' shed more light on it. Yet her apprentice named Xanadu noticed the odd aetherial shape of Xyla around Quint lately.

For answers, they returned to the tower of Varthamith, now named Quintessence Tower for answers. And nothing. Even searching Xyla's personal quarters give nothing. But there was one name she remembered...

Alyx.

She stayed in the tower for weeks until Quint had a lead. The old home in the Shroud. A small cave hidden in the bends of Snakemolt that use to be her home.

All that was left was a journal...protected by deals of various magic. She had to contact Stein in order to aid her...

And all of it became clear.

She was originally a Duskwight, hence the dark coloration unlike the other or dolls. The daughter of Xyla and named Alyx. Quint on that day felt so much.

Anger, pain, happiness, not, sorrow and despair. All at once.

Whether or not Xyla was a monster...she did what she could to give Alyx a second chance at life.

Perhaps someday...Quint will be able to have her heart working again.

===Reunion (Final Arc)===
<spoiler>Sometime after the Hydra Incident with her company and using a lot of herself to raise her allies to their feet from their unconscious state she ended up in the medical ward from expelling a lot of blood from her. An incident not yet recorded due to her oddity of not having blood. In her time recovering and regenerating, she heard her father's voice. Varthamith was seeking to come back and further wishes to torment the poor girl than he already has. Yet someone was there to help her think otherwise...A long standing member of the company who was damaged the most in the fight against the Hydra. Ah'Lakshia. A strange one who eventually she wanted to help out of her inevitability.

After her two week long rest, the longest in her life, The company got a weird deal to help cleanse a dig site of undead that were digging up a large pile of bones in the Highland snow. However the group would first encounter Varthamith and for Alyx the second time seeing him...only this time he felt more powerful and imposing. It brought the company to a standstill, letting him teleport the mass of bones with him somewhere else...and from there he started his fight. Four riders he forged with his magic and a corpse of his choice to bring his own wave of destruction across the land but also distract everyone from his true plan. Each rider an opposite of the four elements.

While one after the other they would fall with a lot of effort, the rider of Death (Corruption of Earth) took the most out of the company. The first encounter saw a local region being harassed and in tne end he escaped to the deeper dunes. When they would fight again, Ah'Lakshia's condition worsened. Mid battle Ah'Lakshai would use all that she had remaining to deliver the blow to the rider of death but in the process her life would be snuffed out. Alyx for the first time in her life felt a major loss...to see someone die trying to help everyone. She broke down in tears just as hard as Xanadu, yet being told to never use the stone hurt more. She honored her friend's wish and left her to rest...
Varthamith would show up to merely taunt the group, expecting Alyx to beg and cry...but no more. The day that Ah'Lakshai died was the day Alyx no longer felt fear. No more did she fear death nor her father. In her anger she lashed out only to be pushed back before he vanished.

One by one each rider fell and one by one they got closer to their goal of stopping Varthamith...yet it was all to bide time for his true goal, to reanimate the bones of a dragon for his own use. Even when cornered the Lich would use one of the five Philosopher's Stones in existence and with both might and magic together released all ten thousand souls held within!
The souls would then coalest and join together the broken bones along with Varthamith to reform and reshape the once dead corpse of a Dragon into his new body. A strong and powerful dragon made to kill and destroy.

The battle was fierce and long. Many struggled to stand but in the end and with the aid of a friend from beyond the grave, Varthamith would finally fall. And in his last moment of existence he would tell his daughter and the rest this:
[[File:Wyrmfall Den 25.jpg|center]]
"The end of existence is upon us...I've seen worlds vanish before my eyes...And neither you nor your warrior of light can do anything to stop it. Savor your existence, for in time you too will become nothing..."
Whatever this warning meant it did not matter for now. Varthamith was finally vanquished and Alyx's friend put to rest, she seeks out the remaining Philosopher's Stones in hopes of keeping them safe and out of anyone's abusive hands.

But that is a tale for another time...
</spoiler>

=== Current ===

As time continued on, Alyx would find a student named Xanadu who would be her 'heir' to her spell work and understanding the Aetherial arts. She has much hope for her. The two finding some affection between each other after everything that has happened.

Alyx would then travel the land to reassemble her mother's fragmented soul to eventually bring her back as a butterfly. Though her mother is at her side, Alyx still yearns for her dream of being embraced by her mother and have a normal childhood. Though that will prove impossible by now...

She lives happily married to Xanadu and raising an adopted child named Suigin.

<table style="position:center;" width="100%">

: Combat is the last thing Alyx wishes to do, but in her situation she uses her crystals to further her skills and even fuses elements to make whole new spells
[[File:AlyxCombat.jpg|500px|center]]
She has six Augmentation Crystals intended to be her source of spell casting. Each one powered by their element.While she can cast most spells, the Aura Spells are a unique trait. With the recent introduction of a spell sword, Alyx is now more flexible in her spellcasting and Melee combat. There is a Seventh Augmentation Crystal yet that one has yet to be fully realized...

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background: #F2F2F2;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Abilities</div>===

'''Future Sight:''' Using four of her Augmentation stones, Alyx is capable of opening a portal to see into the future for others to see. However the most she can open it is up to five minutes and it cannot predict incidents past six months in advance, Nor is it possible to see into the past for other choices. These visions are purely speculative and never one hundred percent right. They are more what if's to the choices. She is unable to see these visions as she must maintain the portal instead. Only those who stick their body part inside can see into the future for themselves and not others.

Another quirk deals with other people. In some cases, the people are black silhouettes while rarely will a real person show up in them. The conditions to meet such a feat have to rely on the person's relation and how well known they are to one another.

'''Medicinal Food:''' Alyx is a horrible cook. She can't really cook meals to save her life...except for food that are remedies for illness and other ailments people suffer from. The odd quirk of her to make wonderful medicinal food over normal food is put into question with her sense of taste. One of her main goals is to make a fabled curry that Cobalon spoke of. Said to cure many and if any illnesses within a host while tasting heavenly to boot.

'''Siphoning and Transferring Aether:''' A process taught by Cobalon. The ability to transfer Aether from one source to another requires a lot of concentration and one wrong move can be fatal to the person attempting or the host in question. Especially if done on living organisms. The Siphoning process is about extracting a certain attuned aether to an element of it's type. From the six elements, Aether can be individually plucked and gathered in one's hand. This usually requires a 'totem' for living organisms since there is no good method to take aether away without harming the subject.

The two acts can be compared to how a weaver mends and makes robes.

'''Aether Repair:''' Like a real doll, Alyx's body can be damage and severed anywhere below the head and still live...however in the event she does lose a limb or take heavy damage, an abundance of Aether is required to mend what is lost. Her body is of a normal flesh consistency but her interior work is akin to the system of blood veins on mortal. In place of that, it's aether. From there, absorbing aether from where her wound is will slowly repair that spot. The bigger and more potent the damage, the more she may need. If her body was destroyed completely but her head remained, it would take upwards of three days to make a new body out of just Aether alone. Thus it's best to have all her parts together to hasten her recovery if possible.

'''Elementium:''' Combining elements of all six Aether attuned crystals, Alyx would be able to create the Elementium spell type. Whether in bolt or otherwise, this element uses all Umbral and Astral spell types into one...however due to the unstable nature of this spell it is considered so situational that it's more than a last resort. It is the suicidal effort.

''"Elementium feels as if you are forging a planet of power within your hands. Trying to balance all the elements in harmony. One day I can use it but...until then it is far too dangerous to use less I want to nearly rend my spirit." -Alyx Quintessence''

'''Seventh Augmentation: Crimson Horn''' Currently not much is known about the odd phenomenon. Her first time using this ability happened after the fall of a friend to take out The Rider of Death under her father's command.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #F2F2F2;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Strengths and Weaknesses</div>===
: Alyx excels in magic much like her creator to an unthinkable level. With many spell combinations, she has the means to cast magic of all schools...

: Because of this, Her body is weak and frail and at times can show signs of use and tear from casting too many spells. While she is powerful, she can eventually break or kill herself from using the augmentations for too long or too often.

: Since understanding more about her limits and upgrading the Augmentations, Alyx has been able to cast more spells so long as they don't tap into her directly.

:

Arala Makeo was born not from a tribe and in the city of Ul'dah between her mother and father who had a relationship on their own. When she was a young child, Arala looked up to her father so much that she dreamed to be a Paladin like he was. She trained day and night to begin her rise up and be like her father. Only problem is that Arala has no idea where he had gone to. It is assumed he went missing after she reached the age of sixteen and was never heard from again, until years later when her father would come to aid her friends in rescuing Arala from a rich tycoon.

In time she would find her place within the world, and her most trusted friend [[Robert Colt|Robert Colt]] , to start a Free Company called The New Conglomerate. Sadly complications arose and the company fell through...but the spirit lives on to this day.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #F2F2F2;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Appearance & Personality</div>===
Arala is adventurous and lighthearted in humor. She enjoys some good jokes from time to time. She is prone to being shy around whomever she likes which she retaliates in anger. Her attitude changes in battle when things get serious. Protective, chivalrous and ever so strong to help those in need, Arala is a friend you do not want to pass up.<br/>One problem she has though is that when she becomes angry, it hinders her performance a bit. So there are some anger problems here and there.

Arala's hair is a light brown color with her tips in a black like fur (But recent events changed that black to blue), presumed to be like her father's hair color. Her right eye is a yellow tint that matches the strange Tattoo on her forehead, but has recently been shown to be false. With the help of her friend, she was able to see through a new eye but through the use of sound.. Her other eye is white, which is her natural eye color.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #F2F2F2;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Biography</div>===

=== Pre-Birth ===

Her mother was named Maria Makeo. A female Seeker of the Sun Miqo'te with red locks and sapphire blue eyes. Prior to Arala's birth, she worked with a witch named Xyla, promising them great riches and power from her master. Maria wanted out after seeing what this would require to obtain. However, Xyla couldn't allow it. She gave her the option...Either give up her first born or die. Maria agreed with a paper.

Later in Ul'dah, Maria would meet P'rth and a relationship would form.

=== Early Years ===

While growing up in Ul'dah was hard for her mother and father, Arala remembers the city fondly has her home. Days spent playing with toys and listening to her father's stories and adventures he went on. Arala had only one friend in Chiyo as she remembered meeting her by chance and possibly fate. She never did care what her status was. At the age of ten, Arala had her eye cursed by a witch who came for the agreement. However, the commotion alarmed the guards and in that haste, P'rth carved out Arala's eye while she was unconscious from the shock. Saving her from the curse but having to give her a false eye for the time.

When she turned Fifteen, Arala trained to use a shortsword first then a shield before using both for practice. Spending most of her teen life in preparation to be like her father. She idolized the man a lot.

As she was approaching the age of an adult, word came about her father's disappearance for some time. The news to Arala was hard but figuring it was for a reason, she decided to keep on with her idea and become a paladin like he was. 

=== Sultainsworn Paladin ===

With her future still being planned and whether to be a Free Paladin or not later, Arala started her journey as a Sultainsworn Paladin. Yet most of her early jobs were to stand and act like a guard for most establishments. without much real action, it dawned on Arala that the tasks she took from the adventurer's guild were far more involved. It would take her a while to decide to become a free paladin in the end

=== Free Paladin ===

After aiding her new friends, Colt and Nira, Arala took a slow process to become a Free Paladin and go on new adventures with her pals. Many include saving one another and making new friends along the way.

Some of her explots include:

making a new companion in the process.

Aiding Colt in various strides.

Protecting the Quicksand despite suppose to be on break.

Being generous to those around her and sharing drinks whenever possible.

=== A Spear that Struck the Shield <br/> ===

During her first day as a Sultainsworn, Arala was approached by Robert Colt whom at the time was still in and out of Ul'dah. Over the one meal, Arala felt she had accomplished a good deed yet the idea of being a Free Paladin rang in her mind since the meeting. Sure enough after some more encounters with Colt, Arala would soon abandon the Sultainsworn armor and become a Free Paladin.<br/>---<br/>Later in time, Arala invited Robert to relax at Costa Del Sol to get their mind off of the misfortune that happened. They enjoyed a nice meal and took the time to have fun. When night came, a rainstorm came down on them and the two were forced under an overhang. With the wind blowing a bit, the two sat close as they watched the rain. It was the first sign of a light bond forming between them.<br/>---<br/>Arala by this point swore her shield to Colt after he had been protecting everyone to make sure he was protected instead.<br/>---<br/>Since working at the Quicksand, Arala felt content with Colt's place in Ul'dah but more than likely he will have to be called into action once more. Whether it will be good or bad depends on the future before them....

Yet time would tell as their relationship soon started to end for some odd reason.

About this time, Arala's odd aunt would come back and seek to kill her and anyone in her way with the gem that was in her head. After many battles and near death situations, Arala's aunt was soon slain but not without some price.

Word of her mother's death in prison soon came through and with her last words, she would force Arala to marry one of eight candidates given to her. Forced into this with the idea of the company home to be shut down and disbanded, she found a loophole. She had an infinite amount of time to choose and it didn't say she should marry the eight only. Using a friend as a possible ninth to confuse them, the company along with Colt would find a way to end this last attempt to ruin Arala's life.

In the end, the group managed to finally end what grudge her Mother's side of the family held on her. As if a curse was lifted. From there the realization that her father had been alive through these years was a boost to her overall morale.

=== The Weight of Heavy Burdens ===

Arala received an unmarked letter which led her to the location of Castrum Centri in Mor Dhona which talked about her missing father. Upon reading the entrance she was approached by a tall Hyur male in dark brown armor from head to toe. Wielding a large battle axe. His demand was to extract Arala's false eye made years ago. Yet after denying him, she got her answer about her father's fate. Apparently her father was a Spy for the man and because he had a relationship and a child, the Hyur slew her father. After showing the shield to her as proof, Arala engaged in a short fight which ended in her being tossed around with ease.

In order to escape, she handed over a small white stone instead of her eye and made a dash back to Ul'dah. After explaining the situation to her companion, they insisted that the two did what they could to avoid their eyes. Yet the words left on Arala were that the Spies could of been easily integrated within their community. Heightening Arala's senses and making those she met harder to trust.

after much time of research, she slowly started to regain her trust in Colt but there was the matter of her eye. Work went under way to create a new eye for her to see out of but it still had it's problems. The technology they used was not as advanced as what the Garlean Empire used but they had to make due. In that time, Nira had a theory about the old eye she had. That it could contain information on it. Work started to make a scope to see into it.

Arala found the shocking truth about the eye. It had plans to make a very volatile bomb and locations around Ul'dah. Knowing this, Arala attempted to break the eye but with no luck she turned to Colt to help break it for her. But what she did not know all this time was that using her father's Linkpearl this whole time was the reason for the Hyur man (Now revealed named Koma) to even know about Arala's fake eye. All the conversations she had over the linkpearl and in person were revealed to the enemy all this time. Feeling unsafe and angered, she shattered her only link with her friends and ran off to confront Koma to finish the fight before he could get the plans.

After a long and stressful fight, Koma was struck down at the hands of Colt but with his last breath he attempted to use his makeshift Cerulium Bomb to kill them with him. Arala used her father's old shield as she helped Colt get behind her. The odd mist on the shield that emanated as she held it blocked the most dangerous part of the bomb but the explosion still pushed them back some ways.

In the end, Koma was defeated and the plans were lost forever to blow up Ul'dah. Arala quickly reunited with her father through his shield and swears to carry his burdens along with her own. Feeling like more of a protecter than ever, Arala returned to Ul'dah for a good rest...but the explosion left Arala's hair looking a bit blue from the Cerulium explosion. Hopefully it's not permanent. 

=== The Varthamith Arc ===

A recent event occurred in Ul'dah involving a Ninja slaying innocent rich men one by one in the dark. To clear the name of a then turned friend ninja, Arala and the group trapped the Ninja to get information off of him. However, he decided to take his life and mention the name 'Lord Varthamtih' and how he knew Ninifae in some way. Soon enough, more of these people following the man Varthamith appeared here and there. Their plan was to eliminate all weaklings and let the strong live.

Arala chased after a man named Gomez. During her fight, Robert Colt appeared and ended up getting the two captured where they both saw Vathamith in the face. Arala and Robert soon found a way out of their bindings but in their escape, Arala stood behind to give Robert time to flee. In the process she was captured and with a binding spell on her supposed crystal, was forced to work with Varthamith. There, she met the others. Roari, a Miqo'te with a fiery passion for mechanical works. Kindra, an Au Ra hailing from Ishgard with a lance that morphs into a bow at will. And Xyla, an Elezen female who made their weapons with the help of alchemy and sprites. From that capture, The New Conglomerate members found a plan to get her back in time.

After the rescue, her mood and emotion overall was drastically shifting. Almost like another person. Leih'a however learned more about her family and yet the soul crystal she carried all this time was a fake. Upon breaking it, Arala reverted to her real self but all this time...she was not an official Paladin. Her crystal supposedly lost to them all.

Arala decided to follow Xyla's trail into the desert. Upon approaching her, she was caught by chain bindings in the sand. Xyla told her of the past. The truth behind her mother's intentions, the eye and how Arala was brought into the world as her mother's replacement in their group. When the company noticed Arala missing, Chiyo was first to find her only to be attacked by a large golem that took the effort of the Company to take down.

---
With recent information relaying as to the whereabouts of Varthamtih, Arala spread word through her friends to follow up north and find more clues in Ishgard...but it may not be as easy as they think. After a long time traveling, she arrived back home to relax. Peace was upon her for the time...

Then, the wine barrel she bought one day was tainted with a poison. The intent was to kill those whom she bought it for. Thankfully it was treated fast.

Since then, word spread that the Xyla copy who indeed tainted the wine took up space at the NC and wishes to help in their endeavor. Arala made a trip to talk to Xyla in which she finds out more truth concerning Varthamith and the rest. She gives Arala a warning before she left...

"Last I heard, Varthamith is waiting for you...it could be a trap. Stay vigilant."

===== Assault on Varthamith's Tower. =====
Recent events arrived and a flyer claiming that she was a criminal and a spy surfaced. Handouts were given to the three main cities and forced her into hiding. Yet they looked fake despite the reward. Was it a trap for the person bringing her there or a trap for Arala?

Arriving up north with a few other adventurers, They search out the location of Xyla with the aid of her doll copy that went rogue. On the bridge, Xyla extracted the Augmentations and used one to enhance the doll further and turn it into a water construct! With enough force and backup, the Elemental fell before the group and the Water Augmentation was returned to Quint. However, there was three more to obtain.

In time the Augmentations would be retrieved one at a time and preparation would begin to assault the tower soon enough.

===== Severing the Chains of Fate =====

Moving to Corethas, Arala was prepared to strike at a long looking threat to her and those around her. Quint prepared the ritual to open the way but an ambush attack hindered them before long. After recovering they would finally enter the tower.

Their first stop was the Ever-Expanding Library and finding the Curator to fight...However after engaging the giant metal being, Arala was flung into the air into an unknown part of the library. There she fought her way through an onslaught of Xyla dolls to find her companions...yet that is when she noticed something was off. Xyla was not trying to snag her while she was alone...was it because they were in their domain? No. She was just waiting and testing them. By the time she came back, they had already defeated the colossus and was informed of their next target. Doll #000.

The doll in question was nicknamed 'the butcher' since it was bringing bodies for Xyla to experiment on. In the fight, Arala noticed the doll refused to injure her unlike the rest...but eventually during their struggle, the doll succumbed to its wounds....

And then Xyla showed up.

Enraged by the death of her doll, she began firing off spell after spell in retaliation. This was bad enough as they were forced to flee.

Arala now was one step away from fighting Varthamith...and yet she wonders why they need her still?

===== "...A torch to light the way." =====
<spoiler>
'' "I know that one day, you will be a great Paladin. One that will exceed expectations of others and even be apart of the Immortal Flames. I can see it now...You will carry a torch to brighten up the dark paths ahead of everyone, and with it make the realm a safe place. Your training will be hard, my daughter...but never forget that even the strongest of Paladins will have their moment of weakness. It will be up to others like you to lift their spirits and support them. Even now, you train yourself to become a Paladin like you wanted. Will you take up these weapons, better yourself and be the Paladin you want to be? Or will you let the pain you feel control and consume what little you are now?" - P'rth Makeo ''</spoiler>

Arala left the group for a time to think on her actions...but during her Time, she realized that fighting as she was is not good. She had to learn more about the Mark on her head. It gave her strength before but it could of been a fluke...so she began training once more for their final battle.

Fighting Varthamith on the tower's peak showed that there was more to the whole thing. He was weaker than most enemies they fought...but it wasn't until Xyla appeared and killed Varthamith for them. during the confusion, Arala was take away and was chained up as she waited. It would be a trap for her companions and Xyla knew this well.

Upon arriving, her friends and companions fought the onslaught of remaining dolls and Xyla herself. The fight was a struggle but as it seemed like she would die, Xyla used all the Aether in her augmentation to alter and give herself unto the Void, transforming her into a beast near indestructible and absorbing Quint. Though they tried, it was useless to fight. Kukuna and Cobalon's combined effort to call meteor did damage Xyla but it was still not enough. In retaliation, she in turn called upon meteor...to which Arala finally understood what was going on. She bravely stepped forth and using all her stored energy, she broke the meteor spell and her defense, allowing her companions to finish the deed. One by one they cut and smash into Xyla while Quint from within held her down.

After Arala gave the last blow, Xyla was reduced to her real and true image of an aging woman of an Elezen. In her last breaths, she showed regret in her actions yet felt happy in a way. Quint on the other hand...she was left to grieve as the group left the battleground.

Arala, now lifted from this pain, can finally return to being a mother and protector of Ul'dah.

As the 401st doll among those made for Xyla to command, this one was considered weak and as such was fused with Au Ra DNA to keep her intact. To Xyla, this doll IS her daughter named Alyx, reborn. Now with the title of Record Keeper, Alyx now searches the realm to record, save and preserve as much information as possible for future generations.

: Alyx wears glasses on her face to help her read better and only takes them off for certain eye wear or to be taken seriously.

</gallery>
: Her red and black dress is her most recognizable attire. Giving her an elegant look. Mostly as casual wear.
: The black long gown is what she wears for colder climates or as an alternative when researching and reading.
: Combat attired is inspired by the Allag people of their time and her eye patch allows her to see Aether readings which she usually lacks without.

: A special Necklace hangs around her neck that contains a simple blue Materia gem that holds something more to it...

: While she may come off as neutral and Monotone, Alyx has slowly developed a personality akin to a curious and very careful type. Wanting to make sure nothing goes wrong and wishes to belong. But at times she overthinks and due to a lack of some emotions she might miss a few things. [https://i.imgur.com/ZHCTMn2.jpg Sometimes her emotions come out...]

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #F2F2F2;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Biography</div>===

After reading a journal, the history of this character is now exposed...

=====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Before Creation</div>=====
As recent information came to light, it was Quint's creator that started the mess. She lost Varthamith from those who were hunting them down and some time after...she had a child bore out of love.

Named Alyx.

As she was born, Alyx was far too weak and frail. She didn't take nutrients in and despite Xyla's best attempts, She ended up succumbing to death. Yet in her last hour, Xyla preserved her soul in a dormant Sprite Core. Vowing to create and give Alyx her second chance..

Even if she had to outsource through other means.

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

Created as the four hundred and first Doll, This Xyla was suppose to be an Eelzen but a complication arose with her weak spirit. Forcing the real Xyla to make an Au Ra shell instead since the scales and structure was more durable. Xyla only changed Quint's memories to give her a better chance at life when the void was taking hold of her. Yet it was Varthamith who abused the memory alteration to his own choices. Thus making him and Xyla look like the bad guys.

Months would pass and her first ever job was contracted by another Xyla under Varthamith's order. Poison some wine meant for a group close to Arala Makeo. She was reluctant as she hardly knew the woman despite sharing some memories like the rest. She eventually caved and did the deed...only failing since they found out before they could drink it.

After some time, Xyla slowly started to rebel after talking with a few people. As Lilith promised to help Xyla, she followed the word of Robert Colt and decided to finally join him. Her ties with Varthamith have been cut off since then and is now on her own. Living at the company house and promised to use her abilities when needed.

Now with the Augmentations attuned and the key to his tower figured out, she waits for Arala's word to assault. For when this all ends, she sees no other reason to keep living.

Sure enough their first encounter with her creator was just an example as her augmentations were taken and used to fuel her new dolls that she called 'Artificial Primals" when in turn they were just Elemental Constructs. After the Water Construct was defeated, the Water Augmentation was retrieved but it was depleted. Xyla desperately seeks a way to refuel and use this in time to open the gate to Varthamith's tower.

Once the augment of water was finally empowered, she created two new Augmentations to fill the missing elements. Ice and Lightning. While the Lightning Augmentation was helped by Leih'a, there came a moment when the Fire Augmentation Doll was spotted. Despite their best efforts to slay and end it before it got worse, the Augmentation didn't back down and instead sought to burn them. Without any choice, Xyla and the others had to shove the doll into the waterway in order to stop it for a time. The search sadly had to be put on halt after Cobalon, her odd carbuncle became frozen in fright after entering the water. For the time, the Fire Augmentation was left to roam...but it soon returned and after a successful group took it down, it gained it's second wind and nearly took Quint had it not been for one extra man and his Chocobo.

Cobalon believed there were more behind this than just Xyla and Varthamith...

From there, she headed to Limsa to find the Wind Augmentation that P'rita had been tracking for weeks, only to have it chained down and weakened upon combat. Before the last blow was made, the Elemental form of the Wind Augmented Doll spoke to them. Prompting Quint to feel an emotion she never felt...

A painful one.

She conversed with a few friends and made the choice to talk to the Earth Augmentation Doll before Arala can fight it. To try and convince it to join her. In the end they had to fight it but managed to save something inside.

With all Augmentations in hand she is ready to open the way...
Many of Xyla and Varthamith's minions slowed their progress but soon enough they would find themselves just about to face him. Yet something does not sit right with Quint.

Why have they ignored harming her and Arala? Hopefully answers will come soon before it's too late. And yet it slowly came to her...Xyla needed them. It was more evidence during their last battle as Arala was the Augmentation letting her be immune to damage while she was taken into the Void form. Thankfully because of her artificial nature, Quint couldn't be fully consumed. With one shred of hope, she would alter and force Xyla's body from within to not respond to allow the others to strike her down. Freeing them. In Xyla's last moment, she told Quint and the others about the Blue Tomestone that Quint had. As if suggesting it was something she needed...and that was it.

Quint on that day cried her non-existent heart out for the first time. Crying for the mother she wished had not indulged on Void energy.

Conflicted with the outcome of this fight and the questions unanswered, she asked to be left alone for a while...
---
===Finding the Truth===
With much aid from her friends and companions, Quint had much to experience...but still she had unanswered questions. The word 'Soulkin' shed more light on it. Yet her apprentice named Xanadu noticed the odd aetherial shape of Xyla around Quint lately.

For answers, they returned to the tower of Varthamith, now named Quintessence Tower for answers. And nothing. Even searching Xyla's personal quarters give nothing. But there was one name she remembered...

Alyx.

She stayed in the tower for weeks until Quint had a lead. The old home in the Shroud. A small cave hidden in the bends of Snakemolt that use to be her home.

All that was left was a journal...protected by deals of various magic. She had to contact Stein in order to aid her...

And all of it became clear.

She was originally a Duskwight, hence the dark coloration unlike the other or dolls. The daughter of Xyla and named Alyx. Quint on that day felt so much.

Anger, pain, happiness, not, sorrow and despair. All at once.

Whether or not Xyla was a monster...she did what she could to give Alyx a second chance at life.

Perhaps someday...Quint will be able to have her heart working again.

===Reunion (Final Arc)===
<spoiler>Sometime after the Hydra Incident with her company and using a lot of herself to raise her allies to their feet from their unconscious state she ended up in the medical ward from expelling a lot of blood from her. An incident not yet recorded due to her oddity of not having blood. In her time recovering and regenerating, she heard her father's voice. Varthamith was seeking to come back and further wishes to torment the poor girl than he already has. Yet someone was there to help her think otherwise...A long standing member of the company who was damaged the most in the fight against the Hydra. Ah'Lakshia. A strange one who eventually she wanted to help out of her inevitability.

After her two week long rest, the longest in her life, The company got a weird deal to help cleanse a dig site of undead that were digging up a large pile of bones in the Highland snow. However the group would first encounter Varthamith and for Alyx the second time seeing him...only this time he felt more powerful and imposing. It brought the company to a standstill, letting him teleport the mass of bones with him somewhere else...and from there he started his fight. Four riders he forged with his magic and a corpse of his choice to bring his own wave of destruction across the land but also distract everyone from his true plan. Each rider an opposite of the four elements.

While one after the other they would fall with a lot of effort, the rider of Death (Corruption of Earth) took the most out of the company. The first encounter saw a local region being harassed and in tne end he escaped to the deeper dunes. When they would fight again, Ah'Lakshia's condition worsened. Mid battle Ah'Lakshai would use all that she had remaining to deliver the blow to the rider of death but in the process her life would be snuffed out. Alyx for the first time in her life felt a major loss...to see someone die trying to help everyone. She broke down in tears just as hard as Xanadu, yet being told to never use the stone hurt more. She honored her friend's wish and left her to rest...
Varthamith would show up to merely taunt the group, expecting Alyx to beg and cry...but no more. The day that Ah'Lakshai died was the day Alyx no longer felt fear. No more did she fear death nor her father. In her anger she lashed out only to be pushed back before he vanished.

One by one each rider fell and one by one they got closer to their goal of stopping Varthamith...yet it was all to bide time for his true goal, to reanimate the bones of a dragon for his own use. Even when cornered the Lich would use one of the five Philosopher's Stones in existence and with both might and magic together released all ten thousand souls held within!
The souls would then coalest and join together the broken bones along with Varthamith to reform and reshape the once dead corpse of a Dragon into his new body. A strong and powerful dragon made to kill and destroy.

The battle was fierce and long. Many struggled to stand but in the end and with the aid of a friend from beyond the grave, Varthamith would finally fall. And in his last moment of existence he would tell his daughter and the rest this:
[[File:Wyrmfall Den 25.jpg|center]]
"The end of existence is upon us...I've seen worlds vanish before my eyes...And neither you nor your warrior of light can do anything to stop it. Savor your existence, for in time you too will become nothing..."
Whatever this warning meant it did not matter for now. Varthamith was finally vanquished and Alyx's friend put to rest, she seeks out the remaining Philosopher's Stones in hopes of keeping them safe and out of anyone's abusive hands.

But that is a tale for another time...
</spoiler>

=== Current ===

As time continued on, Alyx would find a student named Xanadu who would be her 'heir' to her spell work and understanding the Aetherial arts. She has much hope for her. The two finding some affection between each other after everything that has happened.

Alyx would then travel the land to reassemble her mother's fragmented soul to eventually bring her back as a butterfly. Though her mother is at her side, Alyx still yearns for her dream of being embraced by her mother and have a normal childhood. Though that will prove impossible by now...

She lives happily married to Xanadu and raising an adopted child named Suigin.

<table style="position:center;" width="100%">
<tr>

: Combat is the last thing Alyx wishes to do, but in her situation she uses her crystals to further her skills and even fuses elements to make whole new spells
[[File:AlyxCombat.jpg|500px|center]]
She has six Augmentation Crystals intended to be her source of spell casting. Each one powered by their element.While she can cast most spells, the Aura Spells are a unique trait. With the recent introduction of a spell sword, Alyx is now more flexible in her spellcasting and Melee combat. There is a Seventh Augmentation Crystal yet that one has yet to be fully realized...

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background: #F2F2F2;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Abilities</div>===

'''Future Sight:''' Using four of her Augmentation stones, Alyx is capable of opening a portal to see into the future for others to see. However the most she can open it is up to five minutes and it cannot predict incidents past six months in advance, Nor is it possible to see into the past for other choices. These visions are purely speculative and never one hundred percent right. They are more what if's to the choices. She is unable to see these visions as she must maintain the portal instead. Only those who stick their body part inside can see into the future for themselves and not others.

Another quirk deals with other people. In some cases, the people are black silhouettes while rarely will a real person show up in them. The conditions to meet such a feat have to rely on the person's relation and how well known they are to one another.

'''Medicinal Food:''' Alyx is a horrible cook. She can't really cook meals to save her life...except for food that are remedies for illness and other ailments people suffer from. The odd quirk of her to make wonderful medicinal food over normal food is put into question with her sense of taste. One of her main goals is to make a fabled curry that Cobalon spoke of. Said to cure many and if any illnesses within a host while tasting heavenly to boot.

'''Siphoning and Transferring Aether:''' A process taught by Cobalon. The ability to transfer Aether from one source to another requires a lot of concentration and one wrong move can be fatal to the person attempting or the host in question. Especially if done on living organisms. The Siphoning process is about extracting a certain attuned aether to an element of it's type. From the six elements, Aether can be individually plucked and gathered in one's hand. This usually requires a 'totem' for living organisms since there is no good method to take aether away without harming the subject.

The two acts can be compared to how a weaver mends and makes robes.

'''Aether Repair:''' Like a real doll, Alyx's body can be damage and severed anywhere below the head and still live...however in the event she does lose a limb or take heavy damage, an abundance of Aether is required to mend what is lost. Her body is of a normal flesh consistency but her interior work is akin to the system of blood veins on mortal. In place of that, it's aether. From there, absorbing aether from where her wound is will slowly repair that spot. The bigger and more potent the damage, the more she may need. If her body was destroyed completely but her head remained, it would take upwards of three days to make a new body out of just Aether alone. Thus it's best to have all her parts together to hasten her recovery if possible.

'''Elementium:''' Combining elements of all six Aether attuned crystals, Alyx would be able to create the Elementium spell type. Whether in bolt or otherwise, this element uses all Umbral and Astral spell types into one...however due to the unstable nature of this spell it is considered so situational that it's more than a last resort. It is the suicidal effort.

''"Elementium feels as if you are forging a planet of power within your hands. Trying to balance all the elements in harmony. One day I can use it but...until then it is far too dangerous to use less I want to nearly rend my spirit." -Alyx Quintessence''

'''Seventh Augmentation: Crimson Horn''' Currently not much is known about the odd phenomenon. Her first time using this ability happened after the fall of a friend to take out The Rider of Death under her father's command.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #F2F2F2;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Strengths and Weaknesses</div>===
: Alyx excels in magic much like her creator to an unthinkable level. With many spell combinations, she has the means to cast magic of all schools...

: Because of this, Her body is weak and frail and at times can show signs of use and tear from casting too many spells. While she is powerful, she can eventually break or kill herself from using the augmentations for too long or too often.

: Since understanding more about her limits and upgrading the Augmentations, Alyx has been able to cast more spells so long as they don't tap into her directly.

Some pages were recovered of her journals and from what could be properly gathered...She was a Duskwright Elezen with light skin, long flowing black hair and that's it. No one knows her eye color or face shape.

Xyla is a cynical and harsh teacher while also laying truth to those around her. But she is very motherly and aims to give people some closure or warmth despite her misdeeds.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #610B4B;font-size:14px;color: #FFFFFF;">Biography</div>===

Little of her history is made public...It may be best to try and learn from Alyx herself...

https://twitter.com/ParthMakeo/status/1211307031065436160 comic coming soon

<spoiler>Xyla Quintessence lived during the dawn of magic's discovery. Yet despite her affiliation with Aether, she grew up as a local with in the shroud perfecting her alchemy which was far more complicated back then. Tending to people and giving them life advice while warding them off. For a witch, many consider her a miracle worker while majority feared her concoctions and herbal remedies. Some going as far as to try and sabotage her life...yet she continued on as expected. Her goal in life is to create an artificial doll that looked more real than others. Her life was fine until she met a certain man named Varthamith Von Netowa.

Varthamith was her lover and equal in magic. She taught him and he taught her. Varthamith even told her about the void and how she could harness it...yet she vowed to not touch such a power. Their life continued as such until the day Varthamith was to be executed for his treason and affiliation with Xyla. Her first loss came after breaking him away and not noticing till later that he was slain with arrows in his back.

And yet they had a child out of love. Being alone, it made it near impossible to deliver her child yet with some aid from a passerby, Alyx would be born...and not minutes after being born, her frail and meek self died in Xyla's arms. Xyla couldn't stand losing another close to her, so with her strength and sheer will, Xyla cast a spell to transfer Alyx into her 'Magnum Opus'. A red colored gemstone that looked like a sprite core and quickly etching a symbol upon it to bind her soul. Her new goal in life?

To give Alyx a new body...

In the time she was alive, Xyla used forbidden and taboo spells to keep herself alive, to bolster her strength, to torment and kill those who stood in her path and eventually build the Ever-Expanding Library for further research and preservation of Knowledge. And until recent time, Xyla had failed over four hundred times to make the perfect body to house her daughter. And upon creation of doll #401, the last shred of Xyla's true self faded...and in her place the insane and corrupted presence she's contained since starting her spiral emerged in full.

Though that was long ago. She is back to normal as expected. </spoiler>

'''Ghost''' : Xyla is nothing more but an Echo from her old self. The body she uses is but a shell to which she can physically interact with people and be heard/seen. Otherwise she is unnoticeable except to those with high aether senses or she allows it.

[[File:Lich.png|500px|center]]
“I fear no man…but that ‘Thing’ scares me. The man who started this mess. The man who broke my mother mentally and abandoned us. The man who sought power. The man who even mentioning his name sends a chill down my spine. I cannot grasp the full extent of his strength or power. Even when tossed into another realm, I knew that eventually he will return. For he grows in power by the minute. Even now i see him when I meditate.
Koma, Wataru, Hachi, Vice, even previous Voidsent I’ve seen failed to scare me…Scare me enough to wish for death.
I am the daughter of both a Witch and a Lich. While one seeks to give comfort for the fallen, the other defiles their corpse for their own gain. Where one would preserve life, the other will destroy it. Wind spreads Pestilence, Water becomes Famine, Fire fuels War and Earth rots into Death. He has transcended beyond anyone’s imagination…He is Varthamith Von Netowa. The Lichlord of Eorzea. The master of Necromancy. Commander of Undeath. My…Father.” - Alyx Quintessence

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #610B4B;font-size:14px;color: #FFFFFF;">Appearance & Personality</div>===
Due to his power, Varthamith has been known to take on his old youthful appearance when he has to blend in with illusion magics. A tall Elezen male with purple hair and eyes with tanned skin.
Otherwise his Lich form lacks such facial features in favor of eternal life.

Varthamith is spoken of as a calm and collective type who seems not afraid of death due to his abilities. When even pushed against the corner he acts like he is in a panic to throw his opponents off guard. No one to this day has yet to know what he will be like.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #610B4B;font-size:14px;color: #FFFFFF;">Biography</div>===

His past is a mystery...All that is know is he was once a traveling Necromancer who sought out more power and a fabled stone called the 'Philosopher's Stone'. A gem made in a secret way that held unlimited aether to use and abuse at his command. Sadly his life ended by the Shroud guard with plenty of arrows in the back only to be revived through a ritual by Xyla due to her current infatuation with the man. Once he was turned into the lich, he wiped Xyla's memory to the best of his ability and fled.

In time he would be fought not once but twice. The first time on top of the Quintessence Tower where partway through the insane Xyla Prime would shatter his Phylactery and hopefully send him back to the planet...however this is where he ended up in the basement with the Incubo project. A literal well of souls at his command. He too would find his end at the transfer of his Phylactery from the well to a new crystal before being flung into another realm...

In time...he will find his way back to Eorzea.

: -- '''WARNING! WARNING!''' --

: DO NOT ENGAGE IN COMBAT WITH VARTHAMITH ALONE!

Varthamith in combat is a formidable spellcaster in his own right, manipulating the Umbral arts and even undeath to ensure his enemy is dead. When in close combat he can form blades of bone to deflect and fend off if needed. Years of fighting and combat has made Varthamith far stronger than most might hope. Perhaps only the Warrior of Light could truly kill him?

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background: #610B4B;font-size:14px;color: #FFFFFF;">Abilities</div>===

'''Regeneration:''' As a Lich, Varthamith is capable of regenerating himself by retreating to his phylactery. A special item of his choice that is impossible to break by normal means or strong spells but a more elaborate method. While inside, he is immune to all forms of damage and attacks. Only when he is fully recharged does he emerge.

'''Umbral Magic:''' Lightning, Frost and Fire are at his command. The high level spellcasting of the past grants him access to magic spells unheard of before.

'''Necromancy:''' From plaguing his opponents to raising an army of skeletons to do his bidding, Varthamith has mastered the art of Necromancy and then some. Proving to be quite a formidable foe.

: The black long gown is what she wears for colder climates or as an alternative when researching and reading.
: Combat attired is inspired by the Allag people of their time and her eye patch allows her to see Aether readings which she usually lacks without.

: A special Necklace hangs around her neck that contains a simple blue Materia gem that holds something more to it...

: While she may come off as neutral and Monotone, Alyx has slowly developed a personality akin to a curious and very careful type. Wanting to make sure nothing goes wrong and wishes to belong. But at times she overthinks and due to a lack of some emotions she might miss a few things. [https://i.imgur.com/ZHCTMn2.jpg Sometimes her emotions come out...]

As recent information came to light, it was Quint's creator that started the mess. She lost Varthamith from those who were hunting them down and some time after...she had a child bore out of love.

Named Alyx.

As she was born, Alyx was far too weak and frail. She didn't take nutrients in and despite Xyla's best attempts, She ended up succumbing to death. Yet in her last hour, Xyla preserved her soul in a dormant Sprite Core. Vowing to create and give Alyx her second chance..

Even if she had to outsource through other means.

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

Created as the four hundred and first Doll, This Xyla was suppose to be an Eelzen but a complication arose with her weak spirit. Forcing the real Xyla to make an Au Ra shell instead since the scales and structure was more durable. Xyla only changed Quint's memories to give her a better chance at life when the void was taking hold of her. Yet it was Varthamith who abused the memory alteration to his own choices. Thus making him and Xyla look like the bad guys.

Months would pass and her first ever job was contracted by another Xyla under Varthamith's order. Poison some wine meant for a group close to Arala Makeo. She was reluctant as she hardly knew the woman despite sharing some memories like the rest. She eventually caved and did the deed...only failing since they found out before they could drink it.

After some time, Xyla slowly started to rebel after talking with a few people. As Lilith promised to help Xyla, she followed the word of Robert Colt and decided to finally join him. Her ties with Varthamith have been cut off since then and is now on her own. Living at the company house and promised to use her abilities when needed.

Now with the Augmentations attuned and the key to his tower figured out, she waits for Arala's word to assault. For when this all ends, she sees no other reason to keep living.

Sure enough their first encounter with her creator was just an example as her augmentations were taken and used to fuel her new dolls that she called 'Artificial Primals" when in turn they were just Elemental Constructs. After the Water Construct was defeated, the Water Augmentation was retrieved but it was depleted. Xyla desperately seeks a way to refuel and use this in time to open the gate to Varthamith's tower.

Once the augment of water was finally empowered, she created two new Augmentations to fill the missing elements. Ice and Lightning. While the Lightning Augmentation was helped by Leih'a, there came a moment when the Fire Augmentation Doll was spotted. Despite their best efforts to slay and end it before it got worse, the Augmentation didn't back down and instead sought to burn them. Without any choice, Xyla and the others had to shove the doll into the waterway in order to stop it for a time. The search sadly had to be put on halt after Cobalon, her odd carbuncle became frozen in fright after entering the water. For the time, the Fire Augmentation was left to roam...but it soon returned and after a successful group took it down, it gained it's second wind and nearly took Quint had it not been for one extra man and his Chocobo.

Cobalon believed there were more behind this than just Xyla and Varthamith...

From there, she headed to Limsa to find the Wind Augmentation that P'rita had been tracking for weeks, only to have it chained down and weakened upon combat. Before the last blow was made, the Elemental form of the Wind Augmented Doll spoke to them. Prompting Quint to feel an emotion she never felt...

A painful one.

She conversed with a few friends and made the choice to talk to the Earth Augmentation Doll before Arala can fight it. To try and convince it to join her. In the end they had to fight it but managed to save something inside.

With all Augmentations in hand she is ready to open the way...
Many of Xyla and Varthamith's minions slowed their progress but soon enough they would find themselves just about to face him. Yet something does not sit right with Quint.

Why have they ignored harming her and Arala? Hopefully answers will come soon before it's too late. And yet it slowly came to her...Xyla needed them. It was more evidence during their last battle as Arala was the Augmentation letting her be immune to damage while she was taken into the Void form. Thankfully because of her artificial nature, Quint couldn't be fully consumed. With one shred of hope, she would alter and force Xyla's body from within to not respond to allow the others to strike her down. Freeing them. In Xyla's last moment, she told Quint and the others about the Blue Tomestone that Quint had. As if suggesting it was something she needed...and that was it.

Quint on that day cried her non-existent heart out for the first time. Crying for the mother she wished had not indulged on Void energy.

Conflicted with the outcome of this fight and the questions unanswered, she asked to be left alone for a while...
---
===Finding the Truth===
With much aid from her friends and companions, Quint had much to experience...but still she had unanswered questions. The word 'Soulkin' shed more light on it. Yet her apprentice named Xanadu noticed the odd aetherial shape of Xyla around Quint lately.

For answers, they returned to the tower of Varthamith, now named Quintessence Tower for answers. And nothing. Even searching Xyla's personal quarters give nothing. But there was one name she remembered...

Alyx.

She stayed in the tower for weeks until Quint had a lead. The old home in the Shroud. A small cave hidden in the bends of Snakemolt that use to be her home.

All that was left was a journal...protected by deals of various magic. She had to contact Stein in order to aid her...

And all of it became clear.

She was originally a Duskwight, hence the dark coloration unlike the other or dolls. The daughter of Xyla and named Alyx. Quint on that day felt so much.

Anger, pain, happiness, not, sorrow and despair. All at once.

Whether or not Xyla was a monster...she did what she could to give Alyx a second chance at life.

Perhaps someday...Quint will be able to have her heart working again.

===Reunion (Final Arc)===
<spoiler>Sometime after the Hydra Incident with her company and using a lot of herself to raise her allies to their feet from their unconscious state she ended up in the medical ward from expelling a lot of blood from her. An incident not yet recorded due to her oddity of not having blood. In her time recovering and regenerating, she heard her father's voice. Varthamith was seeking to come back and further wishes to torment the poor girl than he already has. Yet someone was there to help her think otherwise...A long standing member of the company who was damaged the most in the fight against the Hydra. Ah'Lakshia. A strange one who eventually she wanted to help out of her inevitability.

After her two week long rest, the longest in her life, The company got a weird deal to help cleanse a dig site of undead that were digging up a large pile of bones in the Highland snow. However the group would first encounter Varthamith and for Alyx the second time seeing him...only this time he felt more powerful and imposing. It brought the company to a standstill, letting him teleport the mass of bones with him somewhere else...and from there he started his fight. Four riders he forged with his magic and a corpse of his choice to bring his own wave of destruction across the land but also distract everyone from his true plan. Each rider an opposite of the four elements.

While one after the other they would fall with a lot of effort, the rider of Death (Corruption of Earth) took the most out of the company. The first encounter saw a local region being harassed and in tne end he escaped to the deeper dunes. When they would fight again, Ah'Lakshia's condition worsened. Mid battle Ah'Lakshai would use all that she had remaining to deliver the blow to the rider of death but in the process her life would be snuffed out. Alyx for the first time in her life felt a major loss...to see someone die trying to help everyone. She broke down in tears just as hard as Xanadu, yet being told to never use the stone hurt more. She honored her friend's wish and left her to rest...
Varthamith would show up to merely taunt the group, expecting Alyx to beg and cry...but no more. The day that Ah'Lakshai died was the day Alyx no longer felt fear. No more did she fear death nor her father. In her anger she lashed out only to be pushed back before he vanished.

One by one each rider fell and one by one they got closer to their goal of stopping Varthamith...yet it was all to bide time for his true goal, to reanimate the bones of a dragon for his own use. Even when cornered the Lich would use one of the five Philosopher's Stones in existence and with both might and magic together released all ten thousand souls held within!
The souls would then coalest and join together the broken bones along with Varthamith to reform and reshape the once dead corpse of a Dragon into his new body. A strong and powerful dragon made to kill and destroy.

The battle was fierce and long. Many struggled to stand but in the end and with the aid of a friend from beyond the grave, Varthamith would finally fall. And in his last moment of existence he would tell his daughter and the rest this:
"The end of existence is upon us...I've seen worlds vanish before my eyes...And neither you nor your warrior of light can do anything to stop it. Savor your time existing for in time you too will become nothing..."
Whatever this warning meant it did not matter for now. Varthamith was finally vanquished and Alyx's friend put to rest, she seeks out the remaining Philosopher's Stones in hopes of keeping them safe and out of anyone's abusive hands.

But that is a tale for another time...
</spoiler>

=== Current ===

As time continued on, Alyx would find a student named Xanadu who would be her 'heir' to her spell work and understanding the Aetherial arts. She has much hope for her. The two finding some affection between each other after everything that has happened.

Alyx would then travel the land to reassemble her mother's fragmented soul to eventually bring her back as a butterfly. Though her mother is at her side, Alyx still yearns for her dream of being embraced by her mother and have a normal childhood. Though that will prove impossible by now...

She lives happily married to Xanadu and raising an adopted child named Suigin.

<table style="position:center;" width="100%">
<tr>

: Combat is the last thing Alyx wishes to do, but in her situation she uses her crystals to further her skills and even fuses elements to make whole new spells
[[File:AlyxCombat.jpg|500px|center]]
She has six Augmentation Crystals intended to be her source of spell casting. Each one powered by their element.While she can cast most spells, the Aura Spells are a unique trait. With the recent introduction of a spell sword, Alyx is now more flexible in her spellcasting and Melee combat. There is a Seventh Augmentation Crystal yet that one has yet to be fully realized...

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background: #F2F2F2;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Abilities</div>===

'''Future Sight:''' Using four of her Augmentation stones, Alyx is capable of opening a portal to see into the future for others to see. However the most she can open it is up to five minutes and it cannot predict incidents past six months in advance, Nor is it possible to see into the past for other choices. These visions are purely speculative and never one hundred percent right. They are more what if's to the choices. She is unable to see these visions as she must maintain the portal instead. Only those who stick their body part inside can see into the future for themselves and not others.

Another quirk deals with other people. In some cases, the people are black silhouettes while rarely will a real person show up in them. The conditions to meet such a feat have to rely on the person's relation and how well known they are to one another.

'''Medicinal Food:''' Alyx is a horrible cook. She can't really cook meals to save her life...except for food that are remedies for illness and other ailments people suffer from. The odd quirk of her to make wonderful medicinal food over normal food is put into question with her sense of taste. One of her main goals is to make a fabled curry that Cobalon spoke of. Said to cure many and if any illnesses within a host while tasting heavenly to boot.

'''Siphoning and Transferring Aether:''' A process taught by Cobalon. The ability to transfer Aether from one source to another requires a lot of concentration and one wrong move can be fatal to the person attempting or the host in question. Especially if done on living organisms. The Siphoning process is about extracting a certain attuned aether to an element of it's type. From the six elements, Aether can be individually plucked and gathered in one's hand. This usually requires a 'totem' for living organisms since there is no good method to take aether away without harming the subject.

The two acts can be compared to how a weaver mends and makes robes.

'''Aether Repair:''' Like a real doll, Alyx's body can be damage and severed anywhere below the head and still live...however in the event she does lose a limb or take heavy damage, an abundance of Aether is required to mend what is lost. Her body is of a normal flesh consistency but her interior work is akin to the system of blood veins on mortal. In place of that, it's aether. From there, absorbing aether from where her wound is will slowly repair that spot. The bigger and more potent the damage, the more she may need. If her body was destroyed completely but her head remained, it would take upwards of three days to make a new body out of just Aether alone. Thus it's best to have all her parts together to hasten her recovery if possible.

'''Elementium:''' Combining elements of all six Aether attuned crystals, Alyx would be able to create the Elementium spell type. Whether in bolt or otherwise, this element uses all Umbral and Astral spell types into one...however due to the unstable nature of this spell it is considered so situational that it's more than a last resort. It is the suicidal effort.

''"Elementium feels as if you are forging a planet of power within your hands. Trying to balance all the elements in harmony. One day I can use it but...until then it is far too dangerous to use less I want to nearly rend my spirit." -Alyx Quintessence''

'''Seventh Augmentation: Crimson Horn''' Currently not much is known about the odd phenomenon. Her first time using this ability happened after the fall of a friend to take out The Rider of Death under her father's command.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #F2F2F2;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Strengths and Weaknesses</div>===
: Alyx excels in magic much like her creator to an unthinkable level. With many spell combinations, she has the means to cast magic of all schools...

: Because of this, Her body is weak and frail and at times can show signs of use and tear from casting too many spells. While she is powerful, she can eventually break or kill herself from using the augmentations for too long or too often.

: Since understanding more about her limits and upgrading the Augmentations, Alyx has been able to cast more spells so long as they don't tap into her directly.

: Her red and black dress is her most recognizable attire. Giving her an elegant look. Mostly as casual wear.
: The black long gown is what she wears for colder climates or as an alternative when researching and reading.
: Combat attired is inspired by the Allag people of their time and her eye patch allows her to see Aether readings which she usually lacks without.

: A special Necklace hangs around her neck that contains a simple blue Materia gem that holds something more to it...

: While she may come off as neutral and Monotone, Alyx has slowly developed a personality akin to a curious and very careful type. Wanting to make sure nothing goes wrong and wishes to belong. But at times she overthinks and due to a lack of some emotions she might miss a few things. [https://i.imgur.com/ZHCTMn2.jpg Sometimes her emotions come out...]

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #F2F2F2;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Biography</div>===

After reading a journal, the history of this character is now exposed...

=====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Before Creation</div>=====
As recent information came to light, it was Quint's creator that started the mess. She lost Varthamith from those who were hunting them down and some time after...she had a child bore out of love.

Named Alyx.

As she was born, Alyx was far too weak and frail. She didn't take nutrients in and despite Xyla's best attempts, She ended up succumbing to death. Yet in her last hour, Xyla preserved her soul in a dormant Sprite Core. Vowing to create and give Alyx her second chance..

Even if she had to outsource through other means.

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

Created as the four hundred and first Doll, This Xyla was suppose to be an Eelzen but a complication arose with her weak spirit. Forcing the real Xyla to make an Au Ra shell instead since the scales and structure was more durable. Xyla only changed Quint's memories to give her a better chance at life when the void was taking hold of her. Yet it was Varthamith who abused the memory alteration to his own choices. Thus making him and Xyla look like the bad guys.

Months would pass and her first ever job was contracted by another Xyla under Varthamith's order. Poison some wine meant for a group close to Arala Makeo. She was reluctant as she hardly knew the woman despite sharing some memories like the rest. She eventually caved and did the deed...only failing since they found out before they could drink it.

After some time, Xyla slowly started to rebel after talking with a few people. As Lilith promised to help Xyla, she followed the word of Robert Colt and decided to finally join him. Her ties with Varthamith have been cut off since then and is now on her own. Living at the company house and promised to use her abilities when needed.

Now with the Augmentations attuned and the key to his tower figured out, she waits for Arala's word to assault. For when this all ends, she sees no other reason to keep living.

Sure enough their first encounter with her creator was just an example as her augmentations were taken and used to fuel her new dolls that she called 'Artificial Primals" when in turn they were just Elemental Constructs. After the Water Construct was defeated, the Water Augmentation was retrieved but it was depleted. Xyla desperately seeks a way to refuel and use this in time to open the gate to Varthamith's tower.

Once the augment of water was finally empowered, she created two new Augmentations to fill the missing elements. Ice and Lightning. While the Lightning Augmentation was helped by Leih'a, there came a moment when the Fire Augmentation Doll was spotted. Despite their best efforts to slay and end it before it got worse, the Augmentation didn't back down and instead sought to burn them. Without any choice, Xyla and the others had to shove the doll into the waterway in order to stop it for a time. The search sadly had to be put on halt after Cobalon, her odd carbuncle became frozen in fright after entering the water. For the time, the Fire Augmentation was left to roam...but it soon returned and after a successful group took it down, it gained it's second wind and nearly took Quint had it not been for one extra man and his Chocobo.

Cobalon believed there were more behind this than just Xyla and Varthamith...

From there, she headed to Limsa to find the Wind Augmentation that P'rita had been tracking for weeks, only to have it chained down and weakened upon combat. Before the last blow was made, the Elemental form of the Wind Augmented Doll spoke to them. Prompting Quint to feel an emotion she never felt...

A painful one.

She conversed with a few friends and made the choice to talk to the Earth Augmentation Doll before Arala can fight it. To try and convince it to join her. In the end they had to fight it but managed to save something inside.

With all Augmentations in hand she is ready to open the way...
Many of Xyla and Varthamith's minions slowed their progress but soon enough they would find themselves just about to face him. Yet something does not sit right with Quint.

Why have they ignored harming her and Arala? Hopefully answers will come soon before it's too late. And yet it slowly came to her...Xyla needed them. It was more evidence during their last battle as Arala was the Augmentation letting her be immune to damage while she was taken into the Void form. Thankfully because of her artificial nature, Quint couldn't be fully consumed. With one shred of hope, she would alter and force Xyla's body from within to not respond to allow the others to strike her down. Freeing them. In Xyla's last moment, she told Quint and the others about the Blue Tomestone that Quint had. As if suggesting it was something she needed...and that was it.

Quint on that day cried her non-existent heart out for the first time. Crying for the mother she wished had not indulged on Void energy.

Conflicted with the outcome of this fight and the questions unanswered, she asked to be left alone for a while...
---
===Finding the Truth===
With much aid from her friends and companions, Quint had much to experience...but still she had unanswered questions. The word 'Soulkin' shed more light on it. Yet her apprentice named Xanadu noticed the odd aetherial shape of Xyla around Quint lately.

For answers, they returned to the tower of Varthamith, now named Quintessence Tower for answers. And nothing. Even searching Xyla's personal quarters give nothing. But there was one name she remembered...

Alyx.

She stayed in the tower for weeks until Quint had a lead. The old home in the Shroud. A small cave hidden in the bends of Snakemolt that use to be her home.

All that was left was a journal...protected by deals of various magic. She had to contact Stein in order to aid her...

And all of it became clear.

She was originally a Duskwight, hence the dark coloration unlike the other or dolls. The daughter of Xyla and named Alyx. Quint on that day felt so much.

Anger, pain, happiness, not, sorrow and despair. All at once.

Whether or not Xyla was a monster...she did what she could to give Alyx a second chance at life.

Perhaps someday...Quint will be able to have her heart working again.

===Reunion (Final Arc)===
((WIP))
<spoiler>Sometime after the Hydra Incident with her company and using a lot of herself to raise her allies to their feet from their unconscious state she ended up in the medical ward from expelling a lot of blood from her. An incident not yet recorded due to her oddity of not having blood. In her time recovering and regenerating, she heard her father's voice. Varthamith was seeking to come back and further wishes to torment the poor girl than he already has. Yet someone was there to help her think otherwise...A long standing member of the company who was damaged the most in the fight against the Hydra. Ah'Lakshia. A strange one who eventually she wanted to help out of her inevitability.

After her two week long rest, the longest in her life, The company got a weird deal to help cleanse a dig site of undead that were digging up a large pile of bones in the Highland snow. However the group would first encounter Varthamith and for Alyx the second time seeing him...only this time he felt more powerful and imposing. It brought the company to a standstill, letting him teleport the mass of bones with him somewhere else...and from there he started his fight. Four riders he forged with his magic and a corpse of his choice to bring his own wave of destruction across the land but also distract everyone from his true plan. Each rider an opposite of the four elements.

While one after the other they would fall with a lot of effort, the rider of Death (Corruption of Earth) took the most out of the company. The first encounter saw a local region being harassed and in tne end he escaped to the deeper dunes. When they would fight again, Ah'Lakshia's condition worsened. Mid battle Ah'Lakshai would use all that she had remaining to deliver the blow to the rider of death but in the process her life would be snuffed out. Alyx for the first time in her life felt a major loss...to see someone die trying to help everyone. She broke down in tears just as hard as Xanadu, yet being told to never use the stone hurt more. She honored her friend's wish and left her to rest...
Varthamith would show up to merely taunt the group, expecting Alyx to beg and cry...but no more. The day that Ah'Lakshai died was the day Alyx no longer felt fear. No more did she fear death nor her father. In her anger she lashed out only to be pushed back before he vanished.

One by one each rider fell and one by one they got closer to their goal of stopping Varthamith...yet it was all to bide time for his true goal, to reanimate the bones of a dragon for his own use. Even when cornered the Lich would use one of the five Philosopher's Stones in existence and with both might and magic together released all ten thousand souls held within!
The souls would then coalest and join together the broken bones along with Varthamith to reform and reshape the once dead corpse of a Dragon into his new body. A strong and powerful dragon made to kill and destroy.

The battle was fierce and long. Many struggled to stand but in the end and with the aid of a friend from beyond the grave, Varthamith would finally fall. And in his last moment of existence he would tell his daughter and the rest this:
"The end of existence is upon us...I've seen worlds vanish before my eyes...And neither you nor your warrior of light can do anything to stop it. Savor your time existing for in time you too will become nothing..."
Whatever this warning meant it did not matter for now. Varthamith was finally vanquished and Alyx's friend put to rest, she seeks out the remaining Philosopher's Stones in hopes of keeping them safe and out of anyone's abusive hands.

But that is a tale for another time...
</spoiler>

=== Current ===

As time continued on, Alyx would find a student named Xanadu who would be her 'heir' to her spell work and understanding the Aetherial arts. She has much hope for her. The two finding some affection between each other after everything that has happened.

Alyx would then travel the land to reassemble her mother's fragmented soul to eventually bring her back as a butterfly. Though her mother is at her side, Alyx still yearns for her dream of being embraced by her mother and have a normal childhood. Though that will prove impossible by now...

She lives happily married to Xanadu and raising an adopted child named Suigin.

<table style="position:center;" width="100%">
<tr>

: Combat is the last thing Alyx wishes to do, but in her situation she uses her crystals to further her skills and even fuses elements to make whole new spells
[[File:AlyxCombat.jpg|500px|center]]
She has six Augmentation Crystals intended to be her source of spell casting. Each one powered by their element.While she can cast most spells, the Aura Spells are a unique trait. With the recent introduction of a spell sword, Alyx is now more flexible in her spellcasting and Melee combat. There is a Seventh Augmentation Crystal yet that one has yet to be fully realized...

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background: #F2F2F2;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Abilities</div>===

'''Future Sight:''' Using four of her Augmentation stones, Alyx is capable of opening a portal to see into the future for others to see. However the most she can open it is up to five minutes and it cannot predict incidents past six months in advance, Nor is it possible to see into the past for other choices. These visions are purely speculative and never one hundred percent right. They are more what if's to the choices. She is unable to see these visions as she must maintain the portal instead. Only those who stick their body part inside can see into the future for themselves and not others.

Another quirk deals with other people. In some cases, the people are black silhouettes while rarely will a real person show up in them. The conditions to meet such a feat have to rely on the person's relation and how well known they are to one another.

'''Medicinal Food:''' Alyx is a horrible cook. She can't really cook meals to save her life...except for food that are remedies for illness and other ailments people suffer from. The odd quirk of her to make wonderful medicinal food over normal food is put into question with her sense of taste. One of her main goals is to make a fabled curry that Cobalon spoke of. Said to cure many and if any illnesses within a host while tasting heavenly to boot.

'''Siphoning and Transferring Aether:''' A process taught by Cobalon. The ability to transfer Aether from one source to another requires a lot of concentration and one wrong move can be fatal to the person attempting or the host in question. Especially if done on living organisms. The Siphoning process is about extracting a certain attuned aether to an element of it's type. From the six elements, Aether can be individually plucked and gathered in one's hand. This usually requires a 'totem' for living organisms since there is no good method to take aether away without harming the subject.

The two acts can be compared to how a weaver mends and makes robes.

'''Aether Repair:''' Like a real doll, Alyx's body can be damage and severed anywhere below the head and still live...however in the event she does lose a limb or take heavy damage, an abundance of Aether is required to mend what is lost. Her body is of a normal flesh consistency but her interior work is akin to the system of blood veins on mortal. In place of that, it's aether. From there, absorbing aether from where her wound is will slowly repair that spot. The bigger and more potent the damage, the more she may need. If her body was destroyed completely but her head remained, it would take upwards of three days to make a new body out of just Aether alone. Thus it's best to have all her parts together to hasten her recovery if possible.

'''Elementium:''' Combining elements of all six Aether attuned crystals, Alyx would be able to create the Elementium spell type. Whether in bolt or otherwise, this element uses all Umbral and Astral spell types into one...however due to the unstable nature of this spell it is considered so situational that it's more than a last resort. It is the suicidal effort.

''"Elementium feels as if you are forging a planet of power within your hands. Trying to balance all the elements in harmony. One day I can use it but...until then it is far too dangerous to use less I want to nearly rend my spirit." -Alyx Quintessence''

'''Seventh Augmentation: Crimson Horn''' Currently not much is known about the odd phenomenon. Her first time using this ability happened after the fall of a friend to take out The Rider of Death under her father's command.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #F2F2F2;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Strengths and Weaknesses</div>===
: Alyx excels in magic much like her creator to an unthinkable level. With many spell combinations, she has the means to cast magic of all schools...

: Because of this, Her body is weak and frail and at times can show signs of use and tear from casting too many spells. While she is powerful, she can eventually break or kill herself from using the augmentations for too long or too often.

: Since understanding more about her limits and upgrading the Augmentations, Alyx has been able to cast more spells so long as they don't tap into her directly.

Forta out of the others is far more silent and to herself. Often she seems rude but does mean well. She is often the one willing to protect her sisters no matter what.

Along with Gaia, Forta became a sister for Quint and the rest. However unlike the others, she felt more comfortable in the air and free to roam. Much like when she was a doll. Forta spends her time flying around La Nocea and other regions but does so out of the need to protect Gaia when the time is right.

'''Flight''' : High use of the Augmentation of Wind grants Forta the ability to fly off the ground and free in the sky for a maximum time of fifteen minutes. Reaching air speeds as fast as an airship. She is unable to carry anything heavier than her though in flight however.

'''Wind Attuned Spells''': The Wind Augmentation grants Forta the ability to cast various wind spells like Aero and even Twister. She can also boost her speed if used correctly in combat.

: As the 402nd doll among those made for Xyla to command, Wati was transfered from a doll to a more mortal like shell. Calm and soothing she is sometimes mistaken as the elder sister due to her noticeable size difference and attitude.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #66a3ff;font-size:14px;color:;">Appearance & Personality</div>===
Wait has a noticable appearance from her figure and height difference from the others. Her body made with a more alluring appearance compared to the others and her wavy blue hair gives the initial impression of a motherly and kind individual...

But like the ocean she has a second personality akin to a rampaging destroyer. The ocean is a cruel mistress and if pushed beyond her boiling point, Wati will unleash a torrent of destruction upon her foes. A two sided coin.

'''Water Attuned Magic''' :Like Gaia, Wati can heal and mend the sick if needed.

'''Rage Mode''': Given enough time or provoked enough, and Wati will shed her kind and gentle exterior for the raging torrent of pain inside. Wielding a hydro-powered axe, she will be unrelenting until someone gives up or dies.
