==x. General==

Kamome Greywing works on the docks of [[Limsa Lominsa]]—known by most simply as 'Gull'. Sun after sun, the young hyur woman can be seen alongside other refugees weaving nets, moving cargo and counting gil under the hawkish watch of two salty-browed thugs. She has called [[Eorzea]] home for less than two moons, and the fact is painfully obvious in her daily struggles to navigate the chaos of the city's [[Lower Decks]]. She possesses martial skill limited to the basic fist fighting needed for survival in her line of work. However, she has a remarkable talent for understanding the currents of the sea and wind. In the dim light of early mornings, she can be found perched high above the port's stench of fish and salt. There she is always looking across the [[Rhotano Sea]], feeling the fresh wind on her face and watching the ships come and go.

==x. Appearance==

Alabaster skin, sable hair and strikingly dark eyes mark Kamome's [[Doma]]n origins. Her demeanor is far more solemn than that of most seventeen year-olds. She approaches daily life with seriousness—her brow seemingly eternally knitted in concentration. The girl can only be caught smiling to herself during her morning walks to the [[Upper Decks]]. There, the view of the open sea visibly brings her peace. She owns only a few garments of her own: a well-worn kurta, slops, a dalmatica, and an old, hempen bandana. Despite her poverty, she strives to keep a clean appearance and carry herself with dignity.

==x. Personality==

Never one for excessive talk, Kamome has become even more reticent as a resident of Limsa Lominsa. She remains unaccustomed to the noise and crudeness of the city and she never feels truly safe, even working among some of her own countrymen on the docks. She has difficulty placing trust in others after the traumatic events of the past year. Due to this, she seeks out the city's less populated corners when she finds a moment to escape her work. Deep inside, Kamome is lonely and filled with anger. Her natural inclinations are family-oriented and now, without her parents and siblings, she feels empty. Flashbacks of the massacre of her village are never far behind her. Even so, the girl has a defiant spirit that helps to soothe her melancholy. She lives with a sense of purpose; on the rare occasion that she does confide in others, she reveals her sincere belief that the [[Garlean]]s will be defeated by the heroes of Eorzea. She slaves away on the docks with such great dedication because she believes she could become such a hero—just like the [[Warriors of Light]] who gave up their lives confronting [[Garlemald]]'s evil. Beneath her guarded demeanor, Kamome holds tightly to a hope that there are Eorzeans who would fight nobly alongside her against their common enemy. When she does encounter a kind face among the throng, that hope is kindled in her heart.

==x. Past (1561 - 1578)==

===A Village by the Sea===

Kamome was born in a remote, seaside village three years after the establishment of Garlean rule in Doma. Rugged beauty and the peaceful sound of waves surrounded her childhood home. In this idyllic place, her only fears were of dark-armored soldiers who would come to the docks every moon to trade.

Her family ran a small but lucrative shipping company in cooperation with the town's fishermen. The company, and thus the village, thrived under Imperial rule by capitalizing on Garlemald's need to supply its forces. Prosperity reigned and occupation seemed a blessing to the once-impoverished villagers. During this tranquil time, Kamome trained with her father, a navigator and academic who had come from a larger town to the countryside settlement only after marriage. He charted the company's maritime routes and studied the currents of both sea and wind as an Eorzean [[Skywatcher]] observes the coming and going of storms and sunshine. Through this education, young Kamome developed a early sensitivity to the subtleties of the [[aether]] around her.

===Wings of Rebellion===

As she came of age, whispers began to spread of Imperial oppression and persecution of the Doman people. Soon after these rumors began, Kamome's parents covertly lent their aid to Doman smugglers, offering use of their little-known village as a safe harbor. Working as double agents, the company quietly sabotaged Garlean supply runs under the masterful tactics of Kamome's mother, [[Suzume Greywing]]. Words of support for outright revolt became common on the docks.

The Doman Rebellion erupted shortly after Kamome's fifteenth [[nameday]]. In a betrayal of her parents' trust, smugglers captured by the Garleans revealed the treason their village had committed against the Empire. Within two bells, soldiers descended on the villagers and what ensued was wholesale slaughter. Kamome's mother and young sister were the first to die.

===A Cruel Mercy===

Kamome wishes nothing more desperately than to forget the circumstances of her survival on that day. She was beaten, then taken from the village as a deserter's hostage after Imperial infighting left one of their own officers murdered. Of her journey to Eorzea she remembers only the violence, hunger and cruelty; never before the voyage on that cramped barge had she been forced to fight to protect herself. Nor had she ever known the depravity some men and women were capable of. By the time the vessel reached Limsa Lominsa's port, she and the other passengers lay weak and near death. Upon arrival, trafficking and smuggling cartels immediately extorted and indentured the arrivals who were fit to work. Kamome's life in Eorzea had begun—but she had become little more than a slave in this threatening foreign land.

==x. Present (1578 - 1579)==

===A Grievance with Garlemald===

Kamome sees her life in Eorzea with a singular, naive purpose: the destruction of Garlemald. Over the past moons, she has become enamored with what she understands of the Lominsan [[bard]]s' tales of the [[Eorzean Alliance]], the [[Battle of Cartenau]] and, most of all, the [[adventurers]] who became the Warriors of Light. Every sun, she labors tirelessly on the docks to clear her debt to the refugee Doman smugglers who provide her shelter in a crowded warehouse. A desire to leave Limsa Lominsa for the northern border of Eorzea burns in her heart. As the cold ocean wind bites at her face, she wonders where she will go, and how she will fight. The only thing certain and real to her in this harsh, foreign land is her hatred for the dark-armored soldiers who took from her everything she loved.

===The Shards of Destiny===

<font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font> [NPC] [[Suzume Greywing]] - Kamome's mother, killed in the Doman Rebellion of 1577. She was a brilliant financial and strategic mind; the village's success was a direct result of her encouraging the fishermen and women to initially work with the Garleans. She convinced them to allow her family to adapt their small boats in to trading vessels that would bring the villagers wealth. Kamome admired and respected Suzume beyond anyone else, as did the villagers. She will never forget the sight of her mother standing defiant before the Garlean soldiers as they entered the village gates. She was the first in the village to be murdered.

<font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font>[NPC] [[Fukurou Greywing]] - Kamome's father, killed in the Doman Rebellion of 1577. Fukurou was the most educated man in their small village. He studied the nature and use of the elements and applied his knowledge to the family's business: understanding the currents of the sea and wind proved an invaluable asset. Kamome learned much from him, as he was always eager to share with her his studies and secrets. She remembers him fondly as a kind and gentle man, but feels anger when she recalls his execution by the Garleans without resistance. Why did he not fight back? Why could he not use the magic he commanded?

<font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font> [NPC] [[Gachou Greywing]] - Kamome's younger brother, presumed killed in the Doman Rebellion of 1577. He was thirteen years old, and a promising young sailor and [[carpenter]]. From a very young age, Gachou was eager to help the fishermen build and repair their boats. He spent most days on the beach with the other children of the village, trying to cobble together simple rafts. Kamome does not know what became of him during the massacre of her vlillage, only that he was playing by the docks earlier that day.

<font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font> [NPC] [[Shigi Greywing]] - Kamome's younger sister, killed in the Doman Rebellion of 1577. She was barely ten years old and loved nothing more than to chase flocks of seabirds along the shore. The Garleans did not spare her when she ran to her mother's wounded side on that fateful day.

<font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font> [PC] [[Marcus Steelsong]] - A [[Highlander]] man central to Kamome's abandonment of her homeland. Her hatred towards him is stronger than the fiercest of maelstroms. Despite the rage she harbors, and much to her frustration, Kamome owes him her life. They voyaged to Eorzea together by sea, but he disappeared, without a trace, as soon as the vessel reached [[La Noscea]]'s shores. Though relieved that the sight of his face no longer hounds her, part of her must know where he went and what became of him.

<font face=Verdana> <div style="text-align:justify;">

==x. General==

A stoic gladiator known only as 'Steelsong' to his associates and audiences alike. Even among the displaced soldiers and refugees of Pearl Lane, he remains an enigma. Most quietly assume an origin in Ala Mhigo—those who ask find no response. To Ul'dah, he is simply another scarred Highlander face to pass through the Coliseum's gates.

==x. Appearance==

Hulking, broad-faced and as emotionless as stone, Steelsong is an imposing sight. The fighter towers above even his own countrymen and his densely-muscled body seems weathered and scarred far beyond its relative youth. He has olive skin, hazel eyes and brown hair that he struggles to keep closely shorn; its uneven cut reveals a recent attempt to trim it with the blade of his own sword.

==x. Personality==

Quiet, taciturn, reserved, mute, silent—there are only so many different words to describe Steelsong's primary trait. He rarely speaks, instead fixing an ominous stare to the subject of his interest. He shows no great kindness nor ill will to those around him. It appears his only true desire is simply to be left alone. The only things he has ever truly loved in life are the rigors and challenges of battle—and now, even those do not bring him anything but memories of a time he would prefer to forget. He does enjoy Doman tea. Unfortunately, such products are increasingly difficult to find. He disdains unnecessary conversation, and greatly fears any interest in his past. Over the course of his life, he has worked tirelessly to master a variety of weapons—some that do not commonly exist in Ul'dah—and he considers his only skill to be melee combat. He reads poorly and can hardly write, but frequently draws himself diagrams of his battle plans for The Coliseum.

==x. Past==

Steelsong has never been willing to discuss his past with an Eorzean. He bears himself in a manner both in and out of The Coliseum that suggests a lifetime of discipline and violence.

==x. Present==

===A Gladiator of No Promise===

Steelsong spends his days perfecting his swordsmanship within the walls of the [[Gladiators' Guild]]. He passes his nights sleeping on a rag on the cobblestones of Pearl Lane. He fights well, but without flair, and therefore holds very little clout as a gladiator. Lacking ambition and purpose in his work, he simply seems adrift in the violence of the everyday life he has chosen for himself. Perhaps he hopes only to lose himself in it.

===A Ghost from the East===

[Under Construction]

==x. Relationships==

* [PC] [[Kamome Greywing]] - A Doman girl who is never far from Steelsong's thoughts. Memories of the night he met her continue to unsettle him to his core. Before setting off for Ul'dah, he had done everything to ensure her safety in Limsa Lominsa. He has not seen her in several moons' time and, however much he may worry for her, he knows he cannot hope to see her again.

* [NPC] [[Landebert]] - Steelsong is often seen speaking with the Highlander refugee Landebert on the dusty streets of Pearl Lane, deep into the night. Their conversations seem to center on Ala Mhigan history. The men do not quite seem close, but certainly appear to have a great deal to discuss. Landebert can be heard calling the other man 'Maynard'—an alias Steelsong gave him in place of his true forename, Marcus.

* [PC] [[Rosalind Westwind]] - This eccentric merchant and scavenger works frequently with Landebert in his acquisition of abandoned goods. Steelsong appears ill at ease with her persistent questions. She has suggested he join Landebert as her occasional escort into the desert, but he has yet to take up the offer.

}}

<font face=Verdana> <div style="text-align:justify;">

==x. General==

Kamome Greywing works on the docks of [[Limsa Lominsa]]—known by most simply as 'Gull'. Sun after sun, the young hyur woman can be seen alongside other refugees weaving nets, moving cargo and counting gil under the hawkish watch of two salty-browed thugs. She has called [[Eorzea]] home for less than two moons, and the fact is painfully obvious in her daily struggles to navigate the chaos of the city's [[Lower Decks]]. She possesses martial skill limited to the basic fist fighting needed for survival in her line of work. However, she has a remarkable talent for understanding the currents of the sea and wind. In the dim light of early mornings, she can be found perched high above the port's stench of fish and salt. There she is always looking across the [[Rhotano Sea]], feeling the fresh wind on her face and watching the ships come and go.

==x. Appearance==

Possessed of an undeniable elegance, Kamome's youthful beauty does not go unnoticed among Limsa Lominsa's dockhands and mariners. Alabaster skin, sable hair and strikingly dark eyes mark her [[Doma]]n origins. Her demeanor is far more solemn than that of most seventeen year-olds. She approaches daily life with seriousness—her brow seemingly eternally knitted in concentration. The girl can only be caught smiling to herself during her morning walks to the [[Upper Decks]]. There, the view of the open sea visibly brings her peace. She owns only a few garments of her own: a well-worn kurta, slops, a dalmatica, and an old, hempen bandana. Despite her poverty, she strives to keep a clean appearance and carry herself with dignity.

==x. Personality==

Never one for excessive talk, Kamome has become even more reticent as a resident of Limsa Lominsa. She remains unaccustomed to the noise and crudeness of the city and she never feels truly safe, even working among some of her own countrymen on the docks. She has difficulty placing trust in others after the traumatic events of the past year. Due to this, she seeks out the city's less populated corners when she finds a moment to escape her work. Deep inside, Kamome is lonely and filled with anger. Her natural inclinations are family-oriented and now, without her parents and siblings, she feels empty. Flashbacks of the massacre of her village are never far behind her. Even so, the girl has a defiant spirit that helps to soothe her melancholy. She lives with a sense of purpose; on the rare occasion that she does confide in others, she reveals her sincere belief that the [[Garlean]]s will be defeated by the heroes of Eorzea. She slaves away on the docks with such great dedication because she believes she could become such a hero—just like the [[Warriors of Light]] who gave up their lives confronting [[Garlemald]]'s evil. Beneath her guarded demeanor, Kamome holds tightly to a hope that there are Eorzeans who would fight nobly alongside her against their common enemy. When she does encounter a kind face among the throng, that hope is kindled in her heart.

==x. Past (1561 - 1578)==

===A Village by the Sea===

Kamome was born in a remote, seaside village three years after the establishment of Garlean rule in Doma. Rugged beauty and the peaceful sound of waves surrounded her childhood home. In this idyllic place, her only fears were of dark-armored soldiers who would come to the docks every moon to trade.

Her family ran a small but lucrative shipping company in cooperation with the town's fishermen. The company, and thus the village, thrived under Imperial rule by capitalizing on Garlemald's need to supply its forces. Prosperity reigned and occupation seemed a blessing to the once-impoverished villagers. During this tranquil time, Kamome trained with her father, a navigator and academic who had come from a larger town to the countryside settlement only after marriage. He charted the company's maritime routes and studied the currents of both sea and wind as an Eorzean [[Skywatcher]] observes the coming and going of storms and sunshine. Through this education, young Kamome developed a early sensitivity to the subtleties of the [[aether]] around her.

===Wings of Rebellion===

As she came of age, whispers began to spread of Imperial oppression and persecution of the Doman people. Soon after these rumors began, Kamome's parents covertly lent their aid to Doman smugglers, offering use of their little-known village as a safe harbor. Working as double agents, the company quietly sabotaged Garlean supply runs under the masterful tactics of Kamome's mother, [[Suzume Greywing]]. Words of support for outright revolt became common on the docks.

The Doman Rebellion erupted shortly after Kamome's fifteenth [[nameday]]. In a betrayal of her parents' trust, smugglers captured by the Garleans revealed the treason their village had committed against the Empire. Within two bells, soldiers descended on the villagers and what ensued was wholesale slaughter. Kamome's mother and young sister were the first to die.

===A Cruel Mercy===

Kamome wishes nothing more desperately than to forget the circumstances of her survival on that day. She was beaten, then taken from the village as a deserter's hostage after Imperial infighting left one of their own officers murdered. Of her journey to Eorzea she remembers only the violence, hunger and cruelty; never before the voyage on that cramped barge had she been forced to fight to protect herself. Nor had she ever known the depravity some men and women were capable of. By the time the vessel reached Limsa Lominsa's port, she and the other passengers lay weak and near death. Upon arrival, trafficking and smuggling cartels immediately extorted and indentured the arrivals who were fit to work. Kamome's life in Eorzea had begun—but she had become little more than a slave in this threatening foreign land.

==x. Present (1578 - 1579)==

===A Grievance with Garlemald===

Kamome sees her life in Eorzea with a singular, naive purpose: the destruction of Garlemald. Over the past moons, she has become enamored with what she understands of the Lominsan [[bard]]s' tales of the [[Eorzean Alliance]], the [[Battle of Cartenau]] and, most of all, the [[adventurers]] who became the Warriors of Light. Every sun, she labors tirelessly on the docks to clear her debt to the refugee Doman smugglers who provide her shelter in a crowded warehouse. A desire to leave Limsa Lominsa for the northern border of Eorzea burns in her heart. As the cold ocean wind bites at her face, she wonders where she will go, and how she will fight. The only thing certain and real to her in this harsh, foreign land is her hatred for the dark-armored soldiers who took from her everything she loved.

She was a brilliant financial and strategic mind; the village's success was a direct result of her encouraging the fishermen and women to initially work with the Garleans. She convinced them to allow her family to adapt their small boats in to trading vessels that would bring the villagers wealth. Kamome admired and respected Suzume beyond anyone else, as did the villagers.

Kamome learned much from him, as he was always eager to share with her his studies and secrets.

They voyaged to Eorzea together by sea, but he disappeared, without a trace, as soon as the vessel reached [[La Noscea]]'s shores. Though relieved that the sight of his face no longer hounds her, part of her must know where he went and what became of him.

He charted the company's maritime routes and studied the currents of both sea and wind as an Eorzean [[Skywatcher]] observes the coming and going of storms and sunshine. Through this education, young Kamome developed a early sensitivity to the subtleties of the [[aether]] around her.

===Wings of Rebellion===

As she came of age, whispers began to spread of Imperial oppression and persecution of the Doman people. Soon after these rumors began, Kamome's parents covertly lent their aid to Doman smugglers, offering use of their little-known village as a safe harbor. Working as double agents, the company quietly sabotaged Garlean supply runs under the masterful tactics of Kamome's mother, [[Suzume Greywing]]. Words of support for outright revolt became common on the docks.

The Doman Rebellion erupted shortly after Kamome's fifteenth [[nameday]]. In a betrayal of her parents' trust, smugglers captured by the Garleans revealed the treason their village had committed against the Empire. Within two bells, soldiers descended on the villagers and what ensued was wholesale slaughter. Kamome's mother and young sister were the first to die.

===A Cruel Mercy===

Kamome wishes nothing more desperately than to forget the circumstances of her survival on that day. She was beaten, then taken from the village as a deserter's hostage after Imperial infighting left one of their own officers murdered. Of her journey to Eorzea she remembers only the violence, hunger and cruelty; never before the voyage on that cramped barge had she been forced to fight to protect herself. Nor had she ever known the depravity some men and women were capable of. By the time the vessel reached Limsa Lominsa's port, she and the other passengers lay weak and near death. Upon arrival, trafficking and smuggling cartels immediately extorted and indentured the arrivals who were fit to work. Kamome's life in Eorzea had begun—but she had become little more than a slave in this threatening foreign land.

==x. Present (1578 - 1579)==

===A Grievance with Garlemald===

Kamome sees her life in Eorzea with a singular, naive purpose: the destruction of Garlemald. Over the past moons, she has become enamored with what she understands of the Lominsan [[bard]]s' tales of the [[Eorzean Alliance]], the [[Battle of Cartenau]] and, most of all, the [[adventurers]] who became the Warriors of Light. Every sun, she labors tirelessly on the docks to clear her debt to the refugee Doman smugglers who provide her shelter in a crowded warehouse. A desire to leave Limsa Lominsa for the northern border of Eorzea burns in her heart. As the cold ocean wind bites at her face, she wonders where she will go, and how she will fight. The only thing certain and real to her in this harsh, foreign land is her hatred for the dark-armored soldiers who took from her everything she loved.

She was a brilliant financial and strategic mind; the village's success was a direct result of her encouraging the fishermen and women to initially work with the Garleans. She convinced them to allow her family to adapt their small boats in to trading vessels that would bring the villagers wealth. Kamome admired and respected Suzume beyond anyone else, as did the villagers.

Kamome learned much from him, as he was always eager to share with her his studies and secrets.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Brynhilde's voice is smooth and somewhat breathy. She has a slight Highlander (vaguely Scandinavian) accent and dialect, and a tendency to roll her R's.

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

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

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

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

Although she always desired a family, Bryn's devotion to the resistance kept her from ever having children of her own. Perhaps as a result, and owing to her qualities of being 'the protector' type, Bryn has a mothering side to her. She likes to take care of those around her, be it through making sure they're fed a decent meal, or through offering a sympathetic ear.
<br><br>
[[File: Bryn_WHM.png|thumb|right|]]
Having spent her younger Cycles in Ala Mhigo's noble courts, Bryn is adept in charm and flattery, and will happily employ both to her advantage in social situations. Bryn has been known to use her skill in diplomacy to smooth over difficult social situations to great effect. She can sometimes come across as rather flirtatious, although she rarely has genuine romantic intentions.

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

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

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

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

Bryn can be overly-proud, sometimes to the point of arrogance, and is often loathe to reveal anything about herself which she feels could make her vulnerable. She has a strong desire to maintain control at all times, both of herself and her environment, and sometimes unfortunately of the people in her life, too. Her desire to control the situations she finds herself in can sometimes necessitate dishonesty.

Although it is a difficult thing to provoke her into anger, her temper is explosive when lost. It takes a lot to drag Bryn into an argument. Once there, however, she digs her heels in and doesn't yield. She’s not entirely above a shouting match if the argument is regarding something she feels passionately about. But generally she prefers to avoid conflict whenever she can. Insults have little effect on her; the quickest way to witness her temper is to attack those she cares for.
<br>
====<div style="background:#ACD3EB;font-family:Georgia;font-size:30px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;"><center>'' Romance ''</center></div>====

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

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

Bryn recognises that she is equally attracted to both men and women.<br><br>

<br>

==<div style="background:#ACD3EB;font-family:Georgia;font-size:40px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;"><center>''''' Combat '''''</center></div>==

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

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

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

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

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

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

Although rarely employed, Brynhilde has an understanding of the basic functioning of magitek small arms and improvised explosives.

If given the choice, however, Bryn would rather not fight at all. Although she is not a pacifist, she detests senseless violence. Regardless, she is often dragged into battle to protect others.<br>

<br>
<br>
Adventurer, freelance Paladin, vagabond and help-for-hire. Bryn doesn't call herself a mercenary. She is very selective about the jobs she picks up, often agreeing to them only if there has been a severe moral wrong committed that needs redressing. As such, she has built up a modest reputation in Limsa Lominsa and Ul’dah as a reliable person who deals fairly and honourably with those she works with. She has a marked concern for the underdog and the downtrodden.

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

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

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

===Family===

Bryn was born to the distinguished Ala Mhigan noble family House Brandulfr. Her birth name was ''Adelfrida Brynhilde Brandulfr''.

'''Father:''' Jàrngrìmur Brandulfr ''(presumed deceased)''<br>

'''Mother:''' Adelhilde Brandulfr ''(deceased)''<br>

<br>
===Linkshells and Organisations===

'''Aeon Free company''' : In the summer moons of 1578, Brynhilde was registered with the Immortal Flames as the leader of a new free company known only as 'Aeon'. It is an unusual company in the respect that it does not appear to actively recruit new members, and it also offers no mission statement or clue as to it's goals.

Oak arrived in time to find a gravely wounded Brynhilde, whose life she saved by ripping a spear tip from her side so that the White Mage [[Ne'ci Aera]] could heal her. After that, the two began to develop a close friendship. As moons passed and the two spent time together, Bryn began to realise that her feelings for Oak ran deeper than she was ready to admit. Eventually the two confessed their feelings, and embarked upon a loving, affectionate and happy relationship. Oak's long absence in the cycle of 1578 was difficult for Brynhilde to cope with. Eventually she resolved to move on with her life, although it was no easy decision for her to make.</td>

<td style="width:50%";><font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font><font style="color:#000000;" size="3"><b>!</b></font>'''[[Tiergan Vashir]]''' : Although their relationship began with mutual distrust, recent events have brought Brynhilde and Tiergan closer together. Close enough, even, for Bryn to place her life in Tiergan's hands. Bryn was pleasantly surprised to learn that they share a homeland, and has come to appreciate Tiergan's selflessness and combat proficiency. Having correctly guessed Tiergan's difficult past, Bryn also feels sympathetic toward the Miqo'te. Despite her thinly-veiled prejudice against most Miqo'te, Brynhilde views Tiergan almost as a brother.</td>

<td><font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font><font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font>'''[[Flickering Ember]]''' : Bryn has spent the better part of a cycle quietly watching over this young Roegadyn. While some might find Ember's lack of any understanding of social mores odd or frustrating, for the most part Bryn finds them endearing. She has a maternal attitude toward the girl, and her protective urges over her can unfortunately lean toward the overly-fierce.

<td><font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font>'''[[Gharen Wolfsong]]''' : Ever happy to meet a fellow Highlander, Bryn first met Gharen in the Black Shroud, where she attempted to engage him in amiable conversation. Bryn intially found Gharen's taciturn nature quite frustrating, but time spent training and socializing together since has given her a better understanding of the man. Although Brynhilde enjoys his company, she senses that Gharen is a man with a dark history. There is something she finds intriguing about him that she cannot quite place, however.</td>

<td>'''<font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font>[[Ciel Lazuli]]''' : Countless jobs and missions together have confirmed in Bryn's mind that Ciel is a talented fighter and a trustworthy ally. On the personal front, she finds Ciel to be a cautious, distant individual, which she respects.</td>

<td>'''<font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font>[[Zaku Paku]]''' : Brynhilde met Zaku through [[Ciel Lazuli]], and in much the same way as she did with Ciel, formed her opinion of Zaku by working alongside him. Aside from being a competent adventurer, Bryn enjoys Zaku's friendliness and eccentric nature. The whole referring-to-himself-in-the-third-person-thing doesn't even grate on her any more.</td>

While they initially had a warm friendship, certain revelations regarding Aryianna's past made Brynhilde more cautious of her. While she holds no ill will toward Ary personally, Bryn has come to the grim realisation that if it were necessary, she must be ready to do her harm. She acknowledges, however, that this would take its toll on her, as time has developed in Brynhilde a great degree of care for the Midlander.</spoiler></td>

To say that she does not trust Nadeau would be an understatement. Regardless, Bryn has not made this known to Nadeau. She is content to watch, and to learn. For now.</td>

Although many consider Rook to be untrustworthy, their relationship has developed to the point where Bryn feels genuine fondness for the man, which seems to be reciprocated.</spoiler></td>

Bryn enjoys Raelin's easy-going nature, and their shared appreciation for levity. Bryn mainly knows Ne'ci through Raelin, and does not know her very well. That was not an obstacle, however, to Bryn aiding Ne'ci in a matter of great importance to the Miqo'te. Since then, the two have had a pleasant, but distant relationship.</spoiler></td>

::* "She can sometimes be found at the Culinarian's guild in Limsa, where she cooks. The things she makes smell divine!"
::* "She's certainly the charitable sort; I often see her goin' about the streets of Ul'dah an' the camps outside the gates, givin' gifts of food an' gil to the refugees."
::* "Likes her drink, that one! When she's not out with them 'venturers, she can usually be found in the pub."
::* "Don't bother, lad. That lass has a different suitor every sun of the week, but never takes a one of 'em to bed."

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

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

==<div style="background:#ACD3EB;font-family:Georgia;font-size:40px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;"><center>''''' History/Timeline '''''</center></div>==
===''1539 - 1558 : The Ala Mhigan Cycles''===
<br>
<spoiler>
Adelfrida Brandulfr (meaning,”Noble Beauty, Fire Wolf”) was born in Ala Mhigo on the 22nd Sun of the First Astral moon, 1539. The eldest child of the wealthy and highly-respect nobleman Járngrímur Brandulfr, Adelfrida was heir to a house possessing both ancient roots and proud standing. Járngrímur was a decorous, rational man, a staunch royalist, and a somewhat distant father who raised his children with careful precision, but little affection. Nevertheless, Adelfrida idolised him and was the very image of the dutiful daughter, obeying his edict that she act as a guardian and watchful eye over her two younger siblings, Bjollgrímur and Adele.

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

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

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

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

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

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

<br>
<spoiler>''"... I've nothin' else tae do. When I finally let go, I thought I'd be free.

''Instead I floundered, an' felt lost without anythin' tae strive for, however hopeless.''

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

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

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

This character is on the Balmung server.

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

If you like Bryn's profile layout, please feel free to use it. I ask only that you link back to this page if you do.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Brynhilde's voice is smooth and somewhat breathy. She has a slight Highlander (vaguely Scandinavian) accent and dialect, and a tendency to roll her R's.

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

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

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

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

Although she always desired a family, Bryn's devotion to the resistance kept her from ever having children of her own. Perhaps as a result, and owing to her qualities of being 'the protector' type, Bryn has a mothering side to her. She likes to take care of those around her, be it through making sure they're fed a decent meal, or through offering a sympathetic ear.
<br><br>
[[File: Bryn_WHM.png|thumb|right|]]
Having spent her younger Cycles in Ala Mhigo's noble courts, Bryn is adept in charm and flattery, and will happily employ both to her advantage in social situations. Bryn has been known to use her skill in diplomacy to smooth over difficult social situations to great effect. She can sometimes come across as rather flirtatious, although she rarely has genuine romantic intentions.

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

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

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

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

Bryn can be overly-proud, sometimes to the point of arrogance, and is often loathe to reveal anything about herself which she feels could make her vulnerable. She has a strong desire to maintain control at all times, both of herself and her environment, and sometimes unfortunately of the people in her life, too. Her desire to control the situations she finds herself in can sometimes necessitate dishonesty.

Although it is a difficult thing to provoke her into anger, her temper is explosive when lost. It takes a lot to drag Bryn into an argument. Once there, however, she digs her heels in and doesn't yield. She’s not entirely above a shouting match if the argument is regarding something she feels passionately about. But generally she prefers to avoid conflict whenever she can. Insults have little effect on her; the quickest way to witness her temper is to attack those she cares for.
<br>
====<div style="background:#ACD3EB;font-family:Georgia;font-size:30px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;"><center>'' Romance ''</center></div>====

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

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

Bryn recognises that she is equally attracted to both men and women.<br><br>

==<div style="background:#ACD3EB;font-family:Georgia;font-size:40px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;"><center>''''' Combat '''''</center></div>==

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

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

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

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

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

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

Although rarely employed, Brynhilde has an understanding of the basic functioning of magitek small arms and improvised explosives.

If given the choice, however, Bryn would rather not fight at all. Although she is not a pacifist, she detests senseless violence. Regardless, she is often dragged into battle to protect others.<br>

<br>
Adventurer, freelance Paladin, vagabond and help-for-hire. Bryn doesn't call herself a mercenary. She is very selective about the jobs she picks up, often agreeing to them only if there has been a severe moral wrong committed that needs redressing. As such, she has built up a modest reputation in Limsa Lominsa and Ul’dah as a reliable person who deals fairly and honourably with those she works with. She has a marked concern for the underdog and the downtrodden.

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

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

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

===Family===

Bryn was born to the distinguished Ala Mhigan noble family House Brandulfr. Her birth name was ''Adelfrida Brynhilde Brandulfr''.

'''Father:''' Jàrngrìmur Brandulfr ''(presumed deceased)''<br>

'''Mother:''' Adelhilde Brandulfr ''(deceased)''<br>

'''Younger brother:''' Bjollgrìmur Brandulfr ''(deceased)''<br>

'''Younger sister:''' Adele Brandulfr ''(estranged)''<br>

'''Niece:''' Adelheid Brandulfr ''(estranged)''<br>
<br>
===Linkshells and Organisations===

'''Aeon Free company''' : In the summer moons of 1578, Brynhilde was registered with the Immortal Flames as the leader of a new free company known only as 'Aeon'. It is an unusual company in the respect that it does not appear to actively recruit new members, and it also offers no mission statement or clue as to it's goals.

Oak arrived in time to find a gravely wounded Brynhilde, whose life she saved by ripping a spear tip from her side so that the White Mage [[Ne'ci Aera]] could heal her. After that, the two began to develop a close friendship. As moons passed and the two spent time together, Bryn began to realise that her feelings for Oak ran deeper than she was ready to admit. Eventually the two confessed their feelings, and embarked upon a loving, affectionate and happy relationship. Oak's long absence in the cycle of 1578 was difficult for Brynhilde to cope with. Eventually she resolved to move on with her life, although it was no easy decision for her to make.</td>

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

While she holds no ill will toward Ary personally, Bryn has come to the grim realisation that if it were necessary, she must be ready to do her harm. She acknowledges, however, that this would take its toll on her, as time has developed in Brynhilde a great degree of care for the Midlander.</spoiler></td>

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

==Character==
===General===

There's a whole wide world out there - and someone has to learn it's secrets. Shashato Shato is determined to extract those secrets from Eorzea's vast deeps and lost lore at any cost. Although supremely eager to work with others and wholly confident in her beliefs to a fault, this ponderous and rather outspoken Lalafell tends to speak out...a little too much! Moving from theory to theory and loudly announcing it to others around her , she's had to bite her tongue more then once. Not to mention her tenancy to delve into dark and foreboding secrets, all for the sake of completing her own great goal - a compendium of the unknown and the great things past, present and perhaps even future.

Hoping to pass this passion on to others around her, she often times seeks to fuel a passion for learning in others, openly promoting the reading of books (especially if they're hers, in which case it gets extra promotional material) and encouraging others to go out and learn. As she likes to say - '''''"So long as when you put your tired head down on that pillow at the end of the day, you feel that you've learned something new - even one insignificant little thing...you can pass into your dreams knowing you've just had a day well spent. If not - become an insomniac."'''''

===Appearance===

Relatively tall as far as Lalafell go, Sha keeps up the appearance of a typical Dunesfolk, with warm tan skin, soft features and a rotund physique, kept on the stout side. Whilst this might seem indicative of a sedentary lifestyle, her bruised knees and strong legs say otherwise. As a queer contrast, her hands are delicate and unblemished - like that of a scribe.

Her eyes are a vibrant and luminous pale green,a color that accentuates the nature of the Dunesfolk's eyes. Her cheeks are round and whitened, her nose rather petite and baring a particular dark hue, like a little mouse's nose. Her hair is often times kept in tribute to her love of complexity, it's red-brown nature kept shaped in banded braids at either side of her head, a shortened mid fringe with straightened sides. Often times (usually absent mindedly) she tends to stick certain objects into her hair as decoration or to hold, be they quills, pins, jewels...

Her ears are long darkened towards the tips and rather down - tilted, one ear studded with a hooped silver earring.
As both an artistic statement and tradition, she has been tattooed around the brow and eyes in classical arcane style with a rather clashing purple hue.

===Personality===

Often times when one fails to fell a wall again and again, they rethink their strategy or find a stronger hammer. Shashato does not just take up a new hammer, but rather design a competently new one, slam it repeatedly into said figurative wall until she's left beating it with its handle.

Delusional is often times the way she is described, an illusion she is well aware of yet somehow continues to act completely convinced that every idea she comes up with is pure and unbridled gold. Or, rather, refinable.

Blessed by a streak of good luck and much of a preacher as she is a scholar, she encourages others to follow in their beliefs and promotes self confidence, with the usual reminder of "Remember - you too can be the best... After me of course."

This odd combination of a positive and negative personality trait often times leaves her in conflict. She is not inherently malevolent but does not hold back from being competitive. She believes in being proactive, yet hates being one-upped. Often times this leads to her begrudgingly lowering herself from her high horse. But make no mistake - Shashato believes that she is without a doubt bound to make a ground breaking discovery. Eventually.

When around others, this personality of hers can wear on them rather swiftly, especially if she feels particularly indulgent, although this is usually innocent, like one of those people at parties that tend to believe that everything they bring up is worth listening about and small talk is king. However often times she fails to face how brittle she truly is, and ends up sympathising very quickly and even becoming flustered. Not to mention the temper tantrums she's prone to.

Despite this, she clings to her confidence to get her through the day. Rather than moaping, she tries her back to be proactive.

==Combat==
===General===
[[File:Shato1.png|200px|thumb|right|"I believe this is for you!"]]
Generally preferring not to end up engaging in combat in the first place, Shashato prefers not to use her magic's destructive capabilities unless in dire need or target practice, which in itself is a very subjective term. When backed up into a corner, especially if against a multitude of foes, she chooses to immediately try to make some distance between herself and her foes before aiming to intimidate them in any way she can. Shouting out threats, trash talk, pointless yelling and calling out attacks are amongst her deadly arsenal.

When her carbuncle is in combat with her, she tends to cooperate and try flanking her opponent, aiming to use her love of tactics to her advantage. Such tactics tend to vary in effectivity and quality, however she does love to play smart.

She chooses to dress light when in combat, as to try coming off as considering it a simple task. Focusing mainly on arcanist techniques, she often favors hit and run moves with ample healing techniques thrown in for good measure. The somatic qualities of her spellcasting is often times exaggerated in order to distract.

This rather easily embarrassed and nervous greenhorn three times her size seemed a little intimidated by her, but they seemed to warm up to one another quick enough! Like two opposites - one savoring a simple path and goal and one savoring a grandiose alternative, they agreed to follow their separate paths and meet at the end to match their skills. For the time being, they'd have to settle for meeting to exchange philosophies and eat name-day cake.

<font face=Verdana> <div style="text-align:justify;">

==x. General==

Kamome Greywing works on the docks of [[Limsa Lominsa]]—known by most simply as 'Gull'. Sun after sun, the young hyur woman can be seen alongside other refugees weaving nets, moving cargo and counting gil under the hawkish watch of two salty-browed thugs. She has called [[Eorzea]] home for less than two moons, and the fact is painfully obvious in her daily struggles to navigate the chaos of the city's [[Lower Decks]]. She possesses martial skill limited to the basic fist fighting needed for survival in her line of work. However, she has a remarkable talent for understanding the currents of the sea and wind. In the dim light of early mornings, she can be found perched high above the port's stench of fish and salt. There she is always looking across the [[Rhotano Sea]], feeling the fresh wind on her face and watching the ships come and go.

==x. Appearance==

Possessed of an undeniable elegance, Kamome's youthful beauty does not go unnoticed among Limsa Lominsa's dockhands and mariners. Alabaster skin, sable hair and strikingly dark eyes mark her [[Doma]]n origins. Her demeanor is far more solemn than that of most seventeen year-olds. She approaches daily life with seriousness—her brow seemingly eternally knitted in concentration. The girl can only be caught smiling to herself during her morning walks to the [[Upper Decks]]. There, the view of the open sea visibly brings her peace. She owns only a few garments of her own: a well-worn kurta, slops, a dalmatica, and an old, hempen bandana. Despite her poverty, she strives to keep a clean appearance and carry herself with dignity.

==x. Personality==

Never one for excessive talk, Kamome has become even more reticent as a resident of Limsa Lominsa. She remains unaccustomed to the noise and crudeness of the city and she never feels truly safe, even working among some of her own countrymen on the docks. She has difficulty placing trust in others after the traumatic events of the past year. Due to this, she seeks out the city's less populated corners when she finds a moment to escape her work. Deep inside, Kamome is lonely and filled with anger. Her natural inclinations are family-oriented and now, without her parents and siblings, she feels empty. Flashbacks of the massacre of her village are never far behind her. Even so, the girl has a defiant spirit that helps to soothe her melancholy. She lives with a sense of purpose; on the rare occasion that she does confide in others, she reveals her sincere belief that the [[Garlean]]s will be defeated by the heroes of Eorzea. She slaves away on the docks with such great dedication because she believes she could become such a hero—just like the [[Warriors of Light]] who gave up their lives confronting [[Garlemald]]'s evil. Beneath her guarded demeanor, Kamome holds tightly to a hope that there are Eorzeans who would fight nobly alongside her against their common enemy. When she does encounter a kind face among the throng, that hope is kindled in her heart.

==x. Past (1561 - 1578)==

===A Village by the Sea===

Kamome was born in a remote, seaside village three years after the establishment of Garlean rule in Doma. Rugged beauty and the peaceful sound of waves surrounded her childhood home. In this idyllic place, her only fears were of dark-armored soldiers who would come to the docks every moon to trade.

Her family ran a small but lucrative shipping company in cooperation with the town's fishermen. The company, and thus the village, thrived under Imperial rule by capitalizing on Garlemald's need to supply its forces. Prosperity reigned and occupation seemed a blessing to the once-impoverished villagers. During this tranquil time, Kamome trained with her father, a navigator and academic who had come from a larger town to the countryside settlement only after marriage. He charted the company's maritime routes and studied the currents of both sea and wind as an Eorzean [[Skywatcher]] observes the coming and going of storms and sunshine. Through this education, young Kamome developed a early sensitivity to the subtleties of the [[aether]] around her.

===Wings of Rebellion===

As she came of age, whispers began to spread of Imperial oppression and persecution of the Doman people. Soon after these rumors began, Kamome's parents covertly lent their aid to Doman smugglers, offering use of their little-known village as a safe harbor. Working as double agents, the company quietly sabotaged Garlean supply runs under the masterful tactics of Kamome's mother, [[Suzume Greywing]]. Words of support for outright revolt became common on the docks.

The Doman Rebellion erupted shortly after Kamome's fifteenth [[nameday]]. In a betrayal of her parents' trust, smugglers captured by the Garleans revealed the treason their village had committed against the Empire. Within two bells, soldiers descended on the villagers and what ensued was wholesale slaughter. Kamome's mother and young sister were the first to die.

===A Cruel Mercy===

Kamome wishes nothing more desperately than to forget the circumstances of her survival on that day. She was beaten, then taken from the village as a deserter's hostage after Imperial infighting left one of their own officers murdered. Of her journey to Eorzea she remembers only the violence, hunger and cruelty; never before the voyage on that cramped barge had she been forced to fight to protect herself. Nor had she ever known the depravity some men and women were capable of. By the time the vessel reached Limsa Lominsa's port, she and the other passengers lay weak and near death. Upon arrival, trafficking and smuggling cartels immediately extorted and indentured the arrivals who were fit to work. Kamome's life in Eorzea had begun—but she had become little more than a slave in this threatening foreign land.

==x. Present (1578 - 1579)==

===A Grievance with Garlemald===

Kamome sees her life in Eorzea with a singular, naive purpose: the destruction of Garlemald. Over the past moons, she has become enamored with what she understands of the Lominsan [[bard]]s' tales of the [[Eorzean Alliance]], the [[Battle of Cartenau]] and, most of all, the [[adventurers]] who became the Warriors of Light. Every sun, she labors tirelessly on the docks to clear her debt to the refugee Doman smugglers who provide her shelter in a crowded warehouse. A desire to leave Limsa Lominsa for the northern border of Eorzea burns in her heart. As the cold ocean wind bites at her face, she wonders where she will go, and how she will fight. The only thing certain and real to her in this harsh, foreign land is her hatred for the dark-armored soldiers who took from her everything she loved.

She convinced them to allow her family to adapt their small boats in to trading vessels that would bring the villagers wealth. Kamome admired and respected Suzume beyond anyone else, as did the villagers.

Kamome learned much from him, as he was always eager to share with her his studies and secrets.

Though relieved that the sight of his face no longer hounds her, part of her must know where he went and what became of him.

There, the view of the open sea visibly brings her peace. She owns only a few garments of her own: a well-worn kurta, slops, a dalmatica, and an old, hempen bandana. Despite her poverty, she strives to keep a clean appearance and carry herself with dignity.

==x. Personality==

Never one for excessive talk, Kamome has become even more reticent as a resident of Limsa Lominsa. She remains unaccustomed to the noise and crudeness of the city and she never feels truly safe, even working among some of her own countrymen on the docks. She has difficulty placing trust in others after the traumatic events of the past year. Due to this, she seeks out the city's less populated corners when she finds a moment to escape her work. Deep inside, Kamome is lonely and filled with anger. Her natural inclinations are family-oriented and now, without her parents and siblings, she feels empty. Flashbacks of the massacre of her village are never far behind her. Even so, the girl has a defiant spirit that helps to soothe her melancholy. She lives with a sense of purpose; on the rare occasion that she does confide in others, she reveals her sincere belief that the [[Garlean]]s will be defeated by the heroes of Eorzea. She slaves away on the docks with such great dedication because she believes she could become such a hero—just like the [[Warriors of Light]] who gave up their lives confronting [[Garlemald]]'s evil. Beneath her guarded demeanor, Kamome holds tightly to a hope that there are Eorzeans who would fight nobly alongside her against their common enemy. When she does encounter a kind face among the throng, that hope is kindled in her heart.

==x. Past (1561 - 1578)==

===A Village by the Sea===

Kamome was born in a remote, seaside village three years after the establishment of Garlean rule in Doma. Rugged beauty and the peaceful sound of waves surrounded her childhood home. In this idyllic place, her only fears were of dark-armored soldiers who would come to the docks every moon to trade.

Her family ran a small but lucrative shipping company in cooperation with the town's fishermen. The company, and thus the village, thrived under Imperial rule by capitalizing on Garlemald's need to supply its forces. Prosperity reigned and occupation seemed a blessing to the once-impoverished villagers. During this tranquil time, Kamome trained with her father, a navigator and academic who had come from a larger town to the countryside settlement only after marriage. He charted the company's maritime routes and studied the currents of both sea and wind as an Eorzean [[Skywatcher]] observes the coming and going of storms and sunshine. Through this education, young Kamome developed a early sensitivity to the subtleties of the [[aether]] around her.

===Wings of Rebellion===

As she came of age, whispers began to spread of Imperial oppression and persecution of the Doman people. Soon after these rumors began, Kamome's parents covertly lent their aid to Doman smugglers, offering use of their little-known village as a safe harbor. Working as double agents, the company quietly sabotaged Garlean supply runs under the masterful tactics of Kamome's mother, [[Suzume Greywing]]. Words of support for outright revolt became common on the docks.

The Doman Rebellion erupted shortly after Kamome's fifteenth [[nameday]]. In a betrayal of her parents' trust, smugglers captured by the Garleans revealed the treason their village had committed against the Empire. Within two bells, soldiers descended on the villagers and what ensued was wholesale slaughter. Kamome's mother and young sister were the first to die.

===A Cruel Mercy===

Kamome wishes nothing more desperately than to forget the circumstances of her survival on that day. She was beaten, then taken from the village as a deserter's hostage after Imperial infighting left one of their own officers murdered. Of her journey to Eorzea she remembers only the violence, hunger and cruelty; never before the voyage on that cramped barge had she been forced to fight to protect herself. Nor had she ever known the depravity some men and women were capable of. By the time the vessel reached Limsa Lominsa's port, she and the other passengers lay weak and near death. Upon arrival, trafficking and smuggling cartels immediately extorted and indentured the arrivals who were fit to work. Kamome's life in Eorzea had begun—but she had become little more than a slave in this threatening foreign land.

==x. Present (1578 - 1579)==

===A Grievance with Garlemald===

Kamome sees her life in Eorzea with a singular, naive purpose: the destruction of Garlemald. Over the past moons, she has become enamored with what she understands of the Lominsan [[bard]]s' tales of the [[Eorzean Alliance]], the [[Battle of Cartenau]] and, most of all, the [[adventurers]] who became the Warriors of Light. Every sun, she labors tirelessly on the docks to clear her debt to the refugee Doman smugglers who provide her shelter in a crowded warehouse. A desire to leave Limsa Lominsa for the northern border of Eorzea burns in her heart. As the cold ocean wind bites at her face, she wonders where she will go, and how she will fight. The only thing certain and real to her in this harsh, foreign land is her hatred for the dark-armored soldiers who took from her everything she loved.

==x. General==

Kamome Greywing works on the docks of [[Limsa Lominsa]]—known by most simply as 'Gull'. Sun after sun, the young hyur woman can be seen alongside other refugees weaving nets, moving cargo and counting gil under the hawkish watch of two salty-browed thugs. She has called [[Eorzea]] home for less than two moons, and the fact is painfully obvious in her daily struggles to navigate the chaos of the city's [[Lower Decks]]. She possesses martial skill limited to the basic fist fighting needed for survival in her line of work. However, she has a remarkable talent for understanding the currents of the sea and wind. In the dim light of early mornings, she can be found perched high above the port's stench of fish and salt. There she is always looking across the [[Rhotano Sea]], feeling the fresh wind on her face and watching the ships come and go.

==x. Appearance==

Possessed of an undeniable elegance, Kamome's youthful beauty does not go unnoticed among Limsa Lominsa's dockhands and mariners. Alabaster skin, sable hair and strikingly dark eyes mark her [[Doma]]n origins. Her demeanor is far more solemn than that of most seventeen year-olds. She approaches daily life with seriousness—her brow seemingly eternally knitted in concentration. The girl can only be caught smiling to herself during her morning walks to the [[Upper Decks]].

<font face=Verdana> <div style="text-align:justify;">

==x. General==

Kamome Greywing works on the docks of [[Limsa Lominsa]]—known by most simply as 'Gull'. Sun after sun, the young hyur woman can be seen alongside other refugees weaving nets, moving cargo and counting gil under the hawkish watch of two salty-browed thugs. She has called [[Eorzea]] home for less than two moons, and the fact is painfully obvious in her daily struggles to navigate the chaos of the city's [[Lower Decks]]. She possesses martial skill limited to the basic fist fighting needed for survival in her line of work. However, she has a remarkable talent for understanding the currents of the sea and wind. In the dim light of early mornings, she can be found perched high above the port's stench of fish and salt. There she is always looking across the [[Rhotano Sea]], feeling the fresh wind on her face and watching the ships come and go.

==x. Appearance==

Possessed of an undeniable elegance, Kamome's youthful beauty does not go unnoticed among Limsa Lominsa's dockhands and mariners. Alabaster skin, sable hair and strikingly dark eyes mark her [[Doma]]n origins. Her demeanor is far more solemn than that of most seventeen year-olds. She approaches daily life with seriousness—her brow seemingly eternally knitted in concentration. The girl can only be caught smiling to herself during her morning walks to the [[Upper Decks]]. There, the view of the open sea visibly brings her peace. She owns only a few garments of her own: a well-worn kurta, slops, a dalmatica, and an old, hempen bandana. Despite her poverty, she strives to keep a clean appearance and carry herself with dignity.

==x. Personality==

Never one for excessive talk, Kamome has become even more reticent as a resident of Limsa Lominsa. She finds the noise and crudeness of the city threatening and she never feels truly safe, even working among some of her own countrymen on the docks. She has difficulty placing trust in others after the traumatic events of the past year. Due to this, she seeks out the city's less populated corners when she finds a moment to escape her work. Deep inside, Kamome is lonely and filled with anger. Her natural inclinations are family-oriented and now, without her parents and siblings, she feels empty. Flashbacks of the massacre of her village are never far behind her. Even so, the girl has a defiant spirit that helps to soothe her melancholy. She lives with a sense of purpose; on the rare occasion that she does confide in others, she reveals her sincere belief that the [[Garlean]]s will be defeated by the heroes of Eorzea. She slaves away on the docks with such great dedication because she believes she could become such a hero—just like the [[Warriors of Light]] who gave up their lives confronting [[Garlemald]]'s evil. Beneath her guarded demeanor, Kamome holds tightly to a hope that there are Eorzeans who would fight nobly alongside her against their common enemy. When she does encounter a kind face among the throng, hope is kindled in her heart.

==x. Past (1561 - 1578)==

===A Village by the Sea===

Kamome was born in a remote, seaside village three years after the establishment of Garlean rule in Doma. Rugged beauty and the peaceful sound of waves surrounded her childhood home. In this idyllic place, her only fears were of dark-armored soldiers who would come to the docks every moon to trade.

Her family ran a small but lucrative shipping company in cooperation with the town's fishermen. The company, and thus the village, thrived under Imperial rule by capitalizing on Garlemald's need to supply its forces. Prosperity reigned and occupation seemed a blessing to the once-impoverished villagers. During this tranquil time, Kamome trained with her father, a navigator and academic who had come from a larger town to the countryside settlement only after marriage. He chatted the company's maritime routes and studied the currents of both sea and wind as an Eorzean [[skywatcher]] observes the coming and going of storms and sunshine. Through this education, young Kamome developed a early sensitivity to the subtleties of the [[aether]] around her.

===Wings of Rebellion===

As she came of age, whispers began to spread of Imperial oppression and persecution of the Doman people. Soon after these rumors began, Kamome's parents covertly lent their aid to Doman smugglers, offering use of their little-known village as a safe harbor. Working as double agents, the company quietly sabotaged Garlean supply runs under the masterful tactics of Kamome's mother, [[Suzume Greywing]]. Words of support for outright revolt became common on the docks.

The Doman Rebellion erupted shortly after Kamome's fifteenth [[nameday]]. In a betrayal of her parents' trust, smugglers captured by the Garleans revealed the treason their village had committed against the Empire. Within two bells, soldiers descended on the villagers and what ensued was wholesale slaughter. Kamome's mother and young sister were the first to die.

===A Cruel Mercy===

Kamome wishes nothing more desperately than to forget the circumstances of her survival on that day. She was beaten, then taken from the village as a deserter's hostage after Imperial infighting left one of their own officers murdered. Of her journey to Eorzea she remembers only the violence, hunger and cruelty; never before the voyage on that cramped barge had she been forced to fight to protect herself. Nor had she ever known the depravity some men and women were capable of. By the time the vessel reached Limsa Lominsa's port, she and the other passengers lay weak and near death. Upon arrival, trafficking and smuggling cartels immediately extorted and indentured the arrivals who were fit to work. Kamome's life in Eorzea had begun—but she had become little more than a slave in this threatening foreign land.

==x. Present (1578 - 1579)==

===A Grievance with Garlemald===

Kamome sees her life in Eorzea with a singular, naive purpose: the destruction of Garlemald. Over the past moons, she has become enamored with what she understands of the Lominsan [[bard]]s' tales of the [[Eorzean Alliance]], the [[Battle of Cartenau]] and, most of all, the [[adventurers]] who became the Warriors of Light. Every sun, she labors tirelessly on the docks to clear her debt to the refugee Doman smugglers who provide her shelter in a crowded warehouse. A desire to leave Limsa Lominsa for the northern border of Eorzea burns in her heart. As the cold ocean wind bites at her face, she wonders where she will go, and how she will fight. The only thing certain and real to her in this harsh, foreign land is her hatred for the dark-armored soldiers who took from her everything she loved.

<font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font> [NPC] [[Suzume Greywing]] - Kamome's mother, killed in the Doman Rebellion of 1577. She was a brilliant financial and strategic mind; the village's success was a direct result of her encouraging the fishermen and women to initially work with the Garleans. She convinced them to allow her family to adapt their small boats in to trading vessels that would bring the villagers wealth. Kamome admired and respected Suzume beyond anyone else, as did the villagers. She will never forget the sight of her mother standing defiant before the Garlean soldiers as they entered the village gates. She was the first in the village to be murdered.

Kamome learned much from him, as he was always eager to share with her his studies and secrets. She remembers him fondly as a kind and gentle man, but feels anger when she recalls his execution by the Garleans without resistance. Why did he not fight back? Why could he not use the magic he commanded?

He spent most days on the beach with the other children of the village, trying to cobble together simple rafts.

<font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font> [NPC] [[Shigi Greywing]] - Kamome's younger sister, killed in the Doman Rebellion of 1577.

They voyaged to Eorzea together by sea, but he disappeared, without a trace, as soon as the vessel reached [[La Noscea]]'s shores. Though relieved that the sight of his face no longer hounds her, part of her must know where he went and what became of him.

<font face=Verdana> <div style="text-align:justify;">

==x. General==

Kamome Greywing works on the docks of [[Limsa Lominsa]]—known by most simply as 'Gull'. Sun after sun, the young hyur woman can be seen alongside other refugees weaving nets, moving cargo and counting gil under the hawkish watch of two salty-browed thugs. She has called [[Eorzea]] home for less than two moons, and the fact is painfully obvious in her daily struggles to navigate the chaos of the city's [[Lower Decks]]. She possesses martial skill limited to the basic fist fighting needed for survival in her line of work. However, she has a remarkable talent for understanding the currents of the sea and wind. In the dim light of early mornings, she can be found perched high above the port's stench of fish and salt. There she is always looking across the [[Rhotano Sea]], feeling the fresh wind on her face and watching the ships come and go.

==x. Appearance==

Possessed of an undeniable elegance, Kamome's youthful beauty does not go unnoticed among Limsa Lominsa's dockhands and mariners. Alabaster skin, sable hair and strikingly dark eyes mark her [[Doma]]n origins. Her demeanor is far more solemn than that of most seventeen year-olds. She approaches daily life with seriousness—her brow seemingly eternally knitted in concentration. The girl can only be caught smiling to herself during her morning walks to the [[Upper Decks]]. There, the view of the open sea visibly brings her peace. She owns only a few garments of her own: a well-worn kurta, slops, a dalmatica, and an old, hempen bandana. Despite her poverty, she strives to keep a clean appearance and carry herself with dignity.

==x. Personality==

Never one for excessive talk, Kamome has become even more reticent as a resident of Limsa Lominsa. She finds the noise and crudeness of the city frightening and she never feels safe, even working among some of her own countrymen on the docks. She has difficulty placing trust in others after the traumatic events of the past year. Due to this, she seeks out the city's less populated corners when she finds a moment to escape her work. Deep inside, Kamome is lonely and filled with anger. Flashbacks of the massacre of her village are never far behind her. Even so, the girl has a defiant spirit that helps to soothe her melancholy. She lives with a sense of purpose; on the rare occasion that she does confide in others, she reveals her sincere belief that the [[Garlean]]s will be defeated by the heroes of Eorzea. She slaves away on the docks with such great dedication because she believes she could become such a hero—just like the [[Warriors of Light]] who gave up their lives confronting [[Garlemald]]'s evil. Beneath her guarded demeanor, Kamome holds tightly to a hope that there are Eorzeans who would fight nobly alongside her against their common enemy.

==x. Past (1561 - 1578)==

===A Village by the Sea===

Kamome was born in a remote, seaside village three years after the establishment of Garlean rule in Doma. Rugged beauty and the peaceful sound of waves surrounded her childhood home. In this idyllic place, her only fears were of dark-armored soldiers who would come to the docks every moon to trade.

Her family ran a small but lucrative shipping company in cooperation with the town's fishermen. The company, and thus the village, thrived under Imperial rule by capitalizing on Garlemald's need to supply its forces. Prosperity reigned and occupation seemed a blessing to the once-impoverished villagers. During this tranquil time, Kamome trained with her father, a navigator and academic who had come from a larger town to the countryside settlement only after marriage. He chatted the company's maritime routes and studied the currents of both sea and wind as an Eorzean [[skywatcher]] observes the coming and going of storms and sunshine. Through this education, young Kamome developed a early sensitivity to the subtleties of the [[aether]] around her.

===Wings of Rebellion===

As she came of age, whispers began to spread of Imperial oppression and persecution of the Doman people. Soon after these rumors began, Kamome's parents covertly lent their aid to Doman smugglers, offering use of their little-known village as a safe harbor. Working as double agents, the company quietly sabotaged Garlean supply runs under the masterful tactics of Kamome's mother, [[Suzume Greywing]]. Words of support for outright revolt became common on the docks.

The Doman Rebellion erupted shortly after Kamome's fifteenth [[nameday]]. In a betrayal of her parents' trust, smugglers captured by the Garleans revealed the treason their village had committed against the Empire. Within two bells, soldiers descended on the villagers and what ensued was wholesale slaughter. Kamome's mother and young sister were the first to die.

===A Cruel Mercy===

Kamome wishes nothing more desperately than to forget the circumstances of her survival on that day. She was beaten, then taken from the village as a deserter's hostage after Imperial infighting left one of their own officers murdered. Of her journey to Eorzea she remembers only the violence, hunger and cruelty; never before the voyage on that cramped barge had she been forced to fight to protect herself. Nor had she ever known the depravity some men and women were capable of. By the time the vessel reached Limsa Lominsa's port, she and the other passengers lay weak and near death. Upon arrival, trafficking and smuggling cartels immediately extorted and indentured the arrivals who were fit to work. Kamome's life in Eorzea had begun—but she had become little more than a slave in this threatening foreign land.

==x. Present (1578 - 1579)==

===A Grievance with Garlemald===

Kamome sees her life in Eorzea with a singular, naive purpose: the destruction of Garlemald. Over the past moons, she has become enamored with what she understands of the Lominsan [[bard]]s' tales of the [[Eorzean Alliance]], the [[Battle of Cartenau]] and, most of all, the [[adventurers]] who became the Warriors of Light. Every sun, she labors tirelessly on the docks to clear her debt to the refugee Doman smugglers who provide her shelter in a crowded warehouse. A desire to leave Limsa Lominsa for the northern border of Eorzea burns in her heart. As the cold ocean wind bites at her face, she wonders where she will go, and how she will fight. The only thing certain and real to her in this harsh, foreign land is her hatred for the dark-armored soldiers who took from her everything she loved.

Within two bells, soldiers descended on the villagers and what ensued was wholesale slaughter. Kamome's mother and young sister were the first to die.

===A Cruel Mercy===

Kamome wishes nothing more desperately than to forget the circumstances of her survival on that day. She was beaten, then taken from the village as a deserter's hostage after Imperial infighting left one of their own commanding officers murdered. Of her journey to Eorzea she remembers only the violence, hunger and cruelty; never before the voyage on that cramped barge had she been forced to fight to protect herself. Nor had she ever known the depravity some men were capable of. By the time the vessel reached Limsa Lominsa's port, she and the other passengers lay weak and near death. Upon arrival, trafficking and smuggling cartels immediately extorted and indentured the arrivals who were fit to work. Kamome's life in Eorzea had begun—but she had become little more than a slave in this threatening foreign land.

==x. Present (1578 - 1579)==

===A Grievance with Garlemald===

Kamome sees her life in Eorzea with a singular, naive purpose: the destruction of Garlemald. Over the past moons, she has become enamored with what she understands of the Lominsan [[bard]]s' tales of the [[Eorzean Alliance]], the [[Battle of Cartenau]] and, most of all, the [[adventurers]] who became the Warriors of Light. Every sun, she labors tirelessly on the docks to clear her debt to the refugee Doman smugglers who provide her shelter in a crowded warehouse. A desire to leave Limsa Lominsa for the northern border of Eorzea burns in her heart. As the cold ocean wind bites at her face, she wonders where she will go, and how she will fight. The only thing certain and real to her in this harsh, foreign land is her hatred for the dark-armored soldiers who took from her everything she loved.

<font face=Verdana> <div style="text-align:justify;">

==x. General==

Kamome Greywing works on the docks of [[Limsa Lominsa]]—known by most simply as 'Gull'. Sun after sun, the young hyur woman can be seen alongside other refugees weaving nets, moving cargo and counting gil under the hawkish watch of two salty-browed thugs. She has called [[Eorzea]] home for less than two moons, and the fact is painfully obvious in her daily struggles to navigate the chaos of the city's [[Lower Decks]]. She possesses martial skill limited to the basic fist fighting needed for survival in her line of work. However, she has a remarkable talent for understanding the currents of the sea and wind. In the dim light of early mornings, she can be found perched high above the port's stench of fish and salt. There she is always looking across the [[Rhotano Sea]], feeling the fresh wind on her face and watching the ships come and go.

==x. Appearance==

Possessed of an undeniable elegance, Kamome's youthful beauty does not go unnoticed among Limsa Lominsa's dockhands and mariners. Alabaster skin, sable hair and strikingly dark eyes mark her [[Doma]]n origins; soft features and a supple body mark her age. Her demeanor, however, is far more solemn than that of most seventeen year-olds. She approaches daily life with seriousness—her brow seemingly eternally knitted in concentration. The girl can only be caught smiling to herself during her morning walks to the [[Upper Decks]]. There, the view of the open sea visibly brings her peace. She owns only a few garments of her own: a well-worn kurta, slops, a dalmatica, and an old, hempen bandana. Despite her poverty, she strives to keep a clean appearance and carry herself with dignity.

==x. Personality==

Never one for excessive talk, Kamome has become even more reticent as a resident of Limsa Lominsa. She finds the noise and crudeness of the city frightening and she never feels safe, even working among some of her own countrymen on the docks. She has difficulty placing trust in others after the traumatic events of the past year. Due to this, she seeks out the city's less populated corners when she finds a moment to escape her work. Deep inside, Kamome is lonely and filled with anger. Flashbacks of the massacre of her village are never far behind her. Even so, the girl has a defiant spirit that helps to soothe her melancholy. She lives with a sense of purpose; on the rare occasion that she does confide in others, she reveals her sincere belief that the [[Garlean]]s will be defeated by the heroes of Eorzea. She slaves away on the docks with such great dedication because she believes she could become such a hero—just like the [[Warriors of Light]] who gave up their lives confronting [[Garlemald]]'s evil. Beneath her guarded demeanor, Kamome holds tightly to a hope that there are Eorzeans who would fight nobly alongside her against their common enemy.

==x. Past (1561 - 1578)==

===A Village by the Sea===

Kamome was born in a remote, seaside village three years after the establishment of Garlean rule in Doma. Rugged beauty and the peaceful sound of waves surrounded her childhood home. In this idyllic place, her only fears were of dark-armored soldiers who would come to the docks every moon to trade.

Her family ran a small but lucrative shipping company in cooperation with the town's fishermen. The company, and thus the village, thrived under Imperial rule by capitalizing on Garlemald's need to supply its forces. Prosperity reigned and occupation seemed a blessing to the once-impoverished villagers. During this tranquil time, Kamome trained with her father, a navigator and academic who had come from a larger town to the countryside settlement only after marriage. He chatted the company's maritime routes and studied the currents of both sea and wind as an Eorzean [[skywatcher]] observes the coming and going of storms and sunshine. Through this education, young Kamome developed a early sensitivity to the subtleties of the [[aether]] around her.

===Wings of Rebellion===

As she came of age, whispers began to spread of Imperial oppression and persecution of the Doman people. Soon after these rumors began, Kamome's parents covertly lent their aid to Doman smugglers, offering use of their little-known village as a safe harbor. Working as double agents, the company quietly sabotaged Garlean supply runs under the masterful tactics of Kamome's mother, [[Suzume Greywing]]. Words of support for outright revolt became common on the docks.

The Doman Rebellion erupted shortly after Kamome's fifteenth [[nameday]]. In a betrayal of her parents' trust, smugglers captured by the Garleans revealed the treason their village had committed against the Empire. Within two bells, soldiers descended on the villagers and what ensued was wholesale slaughter. Kamome's mother and young sister were the first to die.

===A Cruel Mercy===

Kamome wishes nothing more desperately than to forget the circumstances of her survival on that day. She was beaten, then taken from the village as a deserter's hostage after Imperial infighting left one of their own commanding officers murdered. Of her journey to Eorzea she remembers only the violence, hunger and cruelty; never before the voyage on that cramped barge had she been forced to fight to protect herself. Nor had she ever known the depravity some men were capable of. By the time the vessel reached Limsa Lominsa's port, she and the other passengers lay weak and near death. Upon arrival, trafficking and smuggling cartels immediately extorted and indentured the arrivals who were fit to work. Kamome's life in Eorzea had begun—but she had become little more than a slave in this threatening foreign land.

Rosalind:

Hello! I go by the handle Rosalind here on the RPC Library. However, on the forums, my handle is Kamome.

I am a lifelong player of Square Enix games and the Final Fantasy series, along with many other offline and online titles. Final Fantasy XI was my first and favorite online game—I played it from its US PlayStation 2 release in 2004 up until 2009. The wonderful memories I made with my friends in that game have never left me.

I have been following FFXIV for years, and was finally able to begin playing in late January, 2015. Feel free to send me a /tell in-game whenever I am online! I love meeting new players and hope to make many, many lasting friendships in FFXIV.

The following is a list of the characters I portray in FFXIV. All are located on the Balmung server, tied to Square Enix's Aether data center. They are listed in order of the frequency I am online under their name. See you in Hydaelyn!

*[[Kamome Greywing]] - Hyur / Midlander / Female / Limsa Lominsa / Pugilist / Rogue

*[[Rosalind Westwind]] - Hyur / Midlander / Female / Ul'dah / Thaumaturge / Arcanist

*[WIP] [[Yvane Ashdale]] - Hyur / Midlander / Female / Ul'dah / Gladiator

I also write and maintain the pages of my friend InkySilver's characters, listed below. He can be found on the RPC Forums [http://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/member.php?action=profile&uid=5319 here.]

==x. General==

Kamome Greywing works on the docks of [[Limsa Lominsa]]—known by most simply as 'Gull'. Sun after sun, the young hyur woman can be seen alongside other refugees weaving nets, moving cargo and counting gil under the hawkish watch of two salty-browed thugs. She has called [[Eorzea]] home for less than two moons, and the fact is painfully obvious in her daily struggles to navigate the chaos of the city's [[Lower Decks]]. She possesses martial skill limited to the basic fist fighting needed for survival in her line of work. However, she has a remarkable talent for understanding the currents of the sea and wind. In the dim light of early mornings, she can be found perched high above the port's stench of fish and salt. There she is always looking across the [[Rhotano Sea]], feeling the fresh wind on her face and watching the ships come and go.

==x. Appearance==

Possessed of an undeniable elegance, Kamome's youthful beauty does not go unnoticed among Limsa Lominsa's dockhands and mariners. Alabaster skin, sable hair and strikingly dark eyes mark her [[Doma]]n origins; soft features and a supple body mark her age. Her demeanor, however, is far more solemn than that of most seventeen year-olds. She approaches daily life with seriousness—her brow seemingly eternally knitted in concentration. The girl can only be caught smiling to herself during her morning walks to the [[Upper Decks]]. There, the view of the open sea visibly brings her peace. She owns only a few garments of her own: a well-worn leather jacket, slops, a tunic, and an old, hempen bandana. Despite her poverty, she strives to keep a clean appearance and carry herself with dignity.

==x. Personality==

Never one for excessive talk, Kamome has become even more reticent as a resident of Limsa Lominsa. She finds the noise and crudeness of the city frightening and she never feels safe, even working among some of her own countrymen on the docks. She has difficulty placing trust in others after the traumatic events of the past year. Due to this, she seeks out the city's less populated corners when she finds a moment to escape her work. Deep inside, Kamome is lonely and filled with anger. Flashbacks of the massacre of her village are never far behind her. Even so, the girl has a defiant spirit that helps to soothe her melancholy. She lives with a sense of purpose; on the rare occasion that she does confide in others, she reveals her sincere belief that the [[Garlean]]s will be defeated by the heroes of Eorzea. She slaves away on the docks with such great dedication because she believes she could become such a hero—just like the [[Warriors of Light]] who gave up their lives confronting [[Garlemald]]'s evil. Beneath her guarded demeanor, Kamome holds tightly to a hope that there are Eorzeans who would fight nobly alongside her against their common enemy.

==x. Past (1561 - 1578)==

===A Village by the Sea===

Kamome was born in a remote, seaside village three years after the establishment of Garlean rule in Doma. Rugged beauty and the peaceful sound of waves surrounded her childhood home. In this idyllic place, her only fears were of dark-armored soldiers who would come to the docks every moon to trade.

Her family ran a small but lucrative shipping company in cooperation with the town's fishermen. The company, and thus the village, thrived under Imperial rule by capitalizing on Garlemald's need to supply its forces. Prosperity reigned and occupation seemed a blessing to the once-impoverished villagers. During this tranquil time, Kamome trained with her father, a navigator and academic who had come from a larger town to the countryside settlement only after marriage. He chatted the company's maritime routes and studied the currents of both sea and wind as an Eorzean [[skywatcher]] observes the coming and going of storms and sunshine. Through this education, young Kamome developed a early sensitivity to the subtleties of the [[aether]] around her.

===Wings of Rebellion===

As she came of age, whispers began to spread of Imperial oppression and persecution of the Doman people. Soon after these rumors began, Kamome's parents covertly lent their aid to Doman smugglers, offering use of their little-known village as a safe harbor. Working as double agents, the company quietly sabotaged Garlean supply runs under the masterful tactics of Kamome's mother, [[Suzume Greywing]]. Words of support for outright revolt became common on the docks.

The Doman Rebellion erupted shortly after Kamome's fifteenth [[nameday]]. In a betrayal of her parents' trust, smugglers captured by the Garleans revealed the treason their village had committed against the Empire. Within two bells, soldiers descended on the villagers and what ensued was wholesale slaughter. Kamome's mother and young sister were the first to die.

===A Cruel Mercy===

Kamome wishes nothing more desperately than to forget the circumstances of her survival on that day. She was beaten, then taken from the village as a deserter's hostage after Imperial infighting left one of their own commanding officers murdered. Of her journey to Eorzea she remembers only the violence, hunger and cruelty; never before the voyage on that cramped barge had she been forced to fight to protect herself. Nor had she ever known the depravity some men were capable of. By the time the vessel reached Limsa Lominsa's port, she and the other passengers lay weak and near death. Upon arrival, trafficking and smuggling cartels immediately extorted and indentured the arrivals who were fit to work. Kamome's life in Eorzea had begun—but she had become little more than a slave in this threatening foreign land.

==x. Present (1578 - 1579)==

===A Grievance with Garlemald===

Kamome sees her life in Eorzea with a singular, naive purpose: the destruction of Garlemald. Over the past moons, she has become enamored with what she understands of the Lominsan [[bard]]s' tales of the [[Eorzean Alliance]], the [[Battle of Cartenau]] and, most of all, the [[adventurers]] who became the Warriors of Light. Every sun, she labors tirelessly on the docks to clear her debt to the refugee Doman smugglers who provide her shelter in a crowded warehouse. A desire to leave Limsa Lominsa for the northern border of Eorzea burns in her heart. As the cold ocean wind bites at her face, she wonders where she will go, and how she will fight. The only thing certain and real to her in this harsh, foreign land is her hatred for the dark-armored soldiers who took from her everything she loved.

She convinced them to allow her family to adapt their small boats in to trading vessels that would bring the villagers wealth. Kamome admired and respected Suzume beyond anyone else, as did the villagers. She will never forget the sight of her mother standing defiant before the Garlean soldiers as they entered the village gates. She was the first in the village to be murdered.

Kamome learned much from him, as he was always eager to share with her his studies and secrets. She remembers him fondly as a kind and gentle man, but feels anger when she recalls his execution by the Garleans without resistance. Why did he not fight back?

He spent most days on the beach with the other children of the village, trying to cobble together simple rafts.

They voyaged to Eorzea together by sea, but he disappeared, without a trace, as soon as the vessel reached [[La Noscea]]'s shores. Though relieved that the sight of his face no longer hounds her, part of her must know where he went and what became of him.

She remembers him fondly as a kind and gentle man, but feels anger when she recalls his execution by the Garleans without resistance. Why did he not fight back? Why could he not use the magic he commanded?

<font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font> [NPC] [[Gachou Greywing]] - Kamome's younger brother, killed in the Doman Rebellion of 1577. He was thirteen years old, and a promising young sailor and [[carpenter]]. From a very young age, Gachou was eager to help the fishermen build and repair their boats. He spent most days on the beach with the other children of the village, trying to cobble together simple rafts. Kamome does not know what became of him during the massacre of her vlillage, only that he was playing by the docks earlier that day.

<font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font> [NPC] [[Shigi Greywing]] - Kamome's younger sister, killed in the Doman Rebellion of 1577. She was barely ten years old and loved nothing more than to chase flocks of seabirds along the shore. The Garleans did not spare her when she ran to her mother's wounded side on that fateful day.

<font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font> [PC] [[Marcus Steelsong]] - A [[Highlander]] man central to Kamome's abandonment of her homeland. Her hatred towards him is stronger than the fiercest of maelstroms. Despite the rage she harbors, and much to her frustration, Kamome owes him her life. They voyaged to Eorzea together by sea, but he disappeared, without a trace, as soon as the vessel reached [[La Noscea]]'s shores. Though relieved that the sight of his face no longer hounds her, part of her must know where he went and what became of him.

Rosalind:

Hello! I go by the handle Rosalind here on the RPC Library. However, on the forums, my handle is Kamome.

I am a lifelong player of Square Enix games and the Final Fantasy series, along with many other offline and online titles. Final Fantasy XI was my first and favorite online game—I played it from its US PlayStation 2 release in 2004 up until 2009. The wonderful memories I made with my friends in that game have never left me.

I have been following FFXIV for years, and was finally able to begin playing in early January, 2015. Feel free to send me a /tell in-game whenever I am online! I love meeting new players and hope to make many, many lasting friendships in FFXIV.

The following is a list of the characters I portray in FFXIV. All are located on the Balmung server, tied to Square Enix's Aether data center. They are listed in order of the frequency I am online under their name. My regular play time is from 4pm-10pm PST on weekdays. See you in Hydaelyn!

*[[Kamome Greywing]] - Hyur / Midlander / Female / Limsa Lominsa / Pugilist / Rogue

*[[Rosalind Westwind]] - Hyur / Midlander / Female / Ul'dah / Thaumaturge / Arcanist

==x. General==

Yvane Ashdale hires herself out as a sellsword and bodyguard, having suffered multiple rejections from both the [[Brass Blades]] and the [[Immortal Flames]]. Nonetheless, she is outfitted in an obviously deteriorating uniform of the the Flames' colors. Never far from [[The Quicksand]] with a corresponding bottle of ale—her good sword arm, steely glare and quick feet keep her tab under control—but something in her eyes longs for a more romantic fate. Once in a moon, as she drinks at a lonely table, one can overhear whispers of her family's fallen name. Fortunes in [[Ul'dah]] rise and fall as reliably as the waves crash on the shores of [[La Noscea]], and it seems Yvane's has done just so.

==x. Appearance==

Short in stature, but densely muscled and darkly tanned, it doesn't take more than a glance to recognize the fight in Yvane. She takes a practical approach to her appearance: cropped hair swept back and every ilm of her body covered in armor. Wherever one encounters the girl, a skin of ale or her father's trusty pipe are unfailingly close at hand. No matter how light her flask becomes, her steel-blue eyes shine bright and alert under the street lamps—and they're usually looking for a fight. Her hair and eyebrows are thick, black and draw the Uldah'n sun to her face like a [[Gravity]] spell. It's rare to catch a glance at the figure underneath her hauberk—though, her own eyes are always undressing [[Momodi]]'s newest patrons.

==x. Personality==

[Under Construction]

==x. Past==

Yvane first stepped beyond the gates of Ul'dah when she was fifteen years old—scarcely a bell after hearing news of her father's death at the hands of the Amalj'aa. She grew up the daughter of one of Ul'dah's well-loved Flame Commanders: as a girl, she lived for his tales of distant lands, [[Amalj'aa]] blood and the shining armor of the [[Sultansworn]]. Though her father was little more than a glorified mercenary before the crises of the end of the [[Sixth Astral Era]], he was greater than [[The Twelve]] could ever hope to be, in her eyes.

Shortly after [[The Calamity]], as the Immortal Flames turned their attention back to rebuilding and protecting Ul'dah's borders from the [[Beast Tribes]], Yvane's father was always away on the edges of [[Thanalan]]. Everything changed when he was led himself and his unit to their deaths during an Amalj'aa ambush in 1573, scarcely a year after the Flames' victories in [[Mor Dhona]]. Everything he owned in life went to the Priests of Thal in order to pay his funeral costs and find him an honorable grave after such a disgrace. Henceforth, Yvane took up the sword and began to live the adventurer's life she believed would restore honor (and coin) to her family name. There had to be a way to do that in Ul'dah without selling off the rest of her belongings in Thal's name.

}}

<font face=Verdana> <div style="text-align:justify;">

==x. General==

Kamome Greywing works on the docks of [[Limsa Lominsa]]—known by most simply as 'Gull'. Sun after sun, the young hyur woman can be seen alongside other refugees weaving nets, moving cargo and counting gil under the hawkish watch of two salty-browed thugs. She has called [[Eorzea]] home for less than two moons, and the fact is painfully obvious in her daily struggles to navigate the chaos of the city's [[Lower Decks]]. She possesses martial skill limited to the basic fist fighting needed for survival in her line of work. However, she has a remarkable talent for understanding the currents of the sea and wind. In the dim light of early mornings, she can be found perched high above the port's stench of fish and salt. There she is always looking across the [[Rhotano Sea]], feeling the fresh wind on her face and watching the ships come and go.

==x. Appearance==

Possessed of an undeniable elegance, Kamome's youthful beauty does not go unnoticed among Limsa Lominsa's dockhands and mariners. Alabaster skin, sable hair and strikingly dark eyes mark her [[Doma]]n origins; soft features and a supple body mark her age. Her demeanor, however, is far more solemn than that of most seventeen year-olds. She approaches daily life with seriousness—her brow seemingly eternally knitted in concentration. The girl can only be caught smiling to herself during her morning walks to the [[Upper Decks]]. There, the view of the open sea visibly brings her peace. She owns only a few garments of her own: a well-worn leather jacket, slops, a tunic, and an old, hempen bandana. Despite her poverty, she strives to keep a clean appearance and carry herself with dignity.

==x. Personality==

Never one for excessive talk, Kamome has become even more reticent as a resident of Limsa Lominsa. She finds the noise and crudeness of the city frightening and she never feels safe, even working among some of her own countrymen on the docks. She has difficulty placing trust in others after the traumatic events of the past year. Due to this, she seeks out the city's less populated corners when she finds a moment to escape her work. Deep inside, Kamome is lonely and filled with anger. Flashbacks of the massacre of her village are never far behind her. Even so, the girl has a defiant spirit that helps to soothe her melancholy. She lives with a sense of purpose; on the rare occasion that she does confide in others, she reveals her sincere belief that the [[Garlean]]s will be defeated by the heroes of Eorzea. She slaves away on the docks with such great dedication because she believes she could become such a hero—just like the [[Warriors of Light]] who gave up their lives confronting [[Garlemald]]'s evil. Beneath her guarded demeanor, Kamome holds tightly to a hope that there are Eorzeans who would fight nobly alongside her against their common enemy.

==x. Past (1561 - 1577)==

===A Village by the Sea===

Kamome was born in a remote, seaside village three years after the establishment of Garlean rule in Doma. Rugged beauty and the peaceful sound of waves surrounded her childhood home. In this idyllic place, her only fears were of dark-armored soldiers who would come to the docks every moon to trade.

Her family ran a small but lucrative shipping company in cooperation with the town's fishermen. The company, and thus the village, thrived under Imperial rule by capitalizing on Garlemald's need to supply its forces. Prosperity reigned and occupation seemed a blessing to the once-impoverished villagers. During this tranquil time, Kamome trained with her father, a navigator and academic who had come from a larger town to the countryside settlement only after marriage. He chatted the company's maritime routes and studied the currents of both sea and wind as an Eorzean [[skywatcher]] observes the coming and going of storms and sunshine. Through this education, young Kamome developed a early sensitivity to the subtleties of the [[aether]] around her.

===Wings of Rebellion===

As she came of age, whispers began to spread of Imperial oppression and persecution of the Doman people. Soon after these rumors began, Kamome's parents covertly lent their aid to Doman smugglers, offering use of their little-known village as a safe harbor. Working as double agents, the company quietly sabotaged Garlean supply runs under the masterful tactics of Kamome's mother, [[Suzume Greywing]]. Words of support for outright revolt became common on the docks.

The Doman Rebellion erupted shortly after Kamome's fifteenth [[nameday]]. In a betrayal of her parents' trust, smugglers captured by the Garleans revealed the treason their village had committed against the Empire. Within two bells, soldiers descended on the villagers and what ensued was wholesale slaughter. Kamome's mother and young sister were the first to die.

===A Cruel Mercy===

Kamome wishes nothing more desperately than to forget the circumstances of her survival on that day. She was beaten, then taken from the village as a deserter's hostage after Imperial infighting left one of their own commanding officers murdered. Of her journey to Eorzea she remembers only the violence, hunger and cruelty; never before the voyage on that cramped barge had she been forced to fight to protect herself. Nor had she ever known the depravity some men were capable of. By the time the vessel reached Limsa Lominsa's port, she and the other passengers lay weak and near death. Upon arrival, trafficking and smuggling cartels immediately extorted and indentured the arrivals who were fit to work. Kamome's life in Eorzea had begun—but she had become little more than a slave in this threatening foreign land.

==x. Present (1577 - 1579)==

===A Grievance with Garlemald===

Kamome sees her life in Eorzea with a singular, naive purpose: the destruction of Garlemald. Over the past moons, she has become enamored with what she understands of the Lominsan [[bard]]s' tales of the [[Eorzean Alliance]], the [[Battle of Carteneau]] and, most of all, the [[adventurers]] who became the Warriors of Light. Every sun, she labors tirelessly on the docks to clear her debt to the refugee Doman smugglers who provide her shelter in a crowded warehouse. A desire to leave Limsa Lominsa for the northern border of Eorzea burns in her heart. As the cold ocean wind bites at her face, she wonders where she will go, and how she will fight. The only thing certain and real to her in this harsh, foreign land is her hatred for the dark-armored soldiers who took from her everything she loved.

<font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font> [NPC] [[Suzume Greywing]] - Kamome's mother, killed in the Doman Rebellion of 1577. She was a brilliant financial and strategic mind; the village's success was a direct result of her encouraging the fishermen and women to initially work with the Garleans. She convinced them to allow her family to adapt their small boats in to trading vessels that would bring the villagers wealth. Kamome admired and respected Suzume beyond anyone else, as did the villagers. She will never forget the sight of her mother standing defiant before the Garlean soldiers as they entered the village gates. She was the first in the village to be murdered.

<font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font>[NPC] [[Fukurou Greywing]] - Kamome's father, killed in the Doman Rebellion of 1577. Fukurou was the most educated man in their small village. He studied the nature and use of the elements and applied his knowledge to the family's business: understanding the currents of the sea and wind proved an invaluable asset. Kamome learned much from him, as he was always eager to share with her his studies and secrets.

<font face=Verdana> <div style="text-align:justify;">

==x. General==

Kamome Greywing works on the docks of [[Limsa Lominsa]]—known by most simply as 'Gull'. Sun after sun, the young hyur woman can be seen alongside other refugees weaving nets, moving cargo and counting gil under the hawkish watch of two salty-browed thugs. She has called [[Eorzea]] home for less than two moons, and the fact is painfully obvious in her daily struggles to navigate the chaos of the city's [[Lower Decks]]. She possesses martial skill limited to the basic fist fighting needed for survival in her line of work. However, she has a remarkable talent for understanding the currents of the sea and wind. In the dim light of early mornings, she can be found perched high above the port's stench of fish and salt. There she is always looking across the [[Rhotano Sea]], feeling the fresh wind on her face and watching the ships come and go.

==x. Appearance==

Possessed of an undeniable elegance, Kamome's youthful beauty does not go unnoticed among Limsa Lominsa's dockhands and mariners. Alabaster skin, sable hair and strikingly dark eyes mark her [[Doma]]n origins; soft features and a supple body mark her age. Her demeanor, however, is far more solemn than that of most seventeen year-olds. She approaches daily life with seriousness—her brow seemingly eternally knitted in concentration. The girl can only be caught smiling to herself during her morning walks to the [[Upper Decks]]. There, the view of the open sea visibly brings her peace. She owns only a few garments of her own: a well-worn leather jacket, slops, a tunic, and an old, hempen bandana. Despite her poverty, she strives to keep a clean appearance and carry herself with dignity.

==x. Personality==

Never one for excessive talk, Kamome has become even more reticent as a resident of Limsa Lominsa. She finds the noise and crudeness of the city frightening and she never feels safe, even working among some of her own countrymen on the docks. She has difficulty placing trust in others after the traumatic events of the past year. Due to this, she seeks out the city's less populated corners when she finds a moment to escape her work. Deep inside, Kamome is lonely and filled with anger. Flashbacks of the massacre of her village are never far behind her. Even so, the girl has a defiant spirit that helps to soothe her melancholy. She lives with a sense of purpose; on the rare occasion that she does confide in others, she reveals her sincere belief that the [[Garlean]]s will be defeated by the heroes of Eorzea. She slaves away on the docks with such great dedication because she believes she could become such a hero—just like the [[Warriors of Light]] who gave up their lives confronting [[Garlemald]]'s evil. Beneath her guarded demeanor, Kamome holds tightly to a hope that there are Eorzeans who would fight nobly alongside her against their common enemy.

==x. Past (1561 - 1577)==

===A Village by the Sea===

Kamome was born in a rural, seaside village three years after the establishment of Garlean rule in Doma. Rugged beauty and the peaceful sound of waves surrounded her childhood home. In this idyllic place, her only fears were of dark-armored soldiers who would come to the docks every moon to trade.

Her family ran a small but lucrative shipping company in cooperation with the town's fishermen. The company, and thus the village, thrived under Imperial rule by capitalizing on Garlemald's need to supply its forces. Prosperity reigned and occupation seemed a blessing to the once-impoverished villagers. During this tranquil time, Kamome trained with her father, a navigator and academic who had come from a larger town to the countryside settlement only after marriage. He chatted the company's maritime routes and studied the currents of both sea and wind as an Eorzean [[skywatcher]] observes the coming and going of storms and sunshine. Through this education, young Kamome developed a early sensitivity to the subtleties of the [[aether]] around her.

===Wings of Rebellion===

As she came of age, whispers began to spread of Imperial oppression and persecution of the Doman people. Soon after these rumors began, Kamome's parents covertly lent their aid to Doman smugglers, offering use of their little-known village as a safe harbor. Working as double agents, the company quietly sabotaged Garlean supply runs under the masterful tactics of Kamome's mother, [[Suzume Greywing]]. Words of support for outright revolt became common on the docks.

The Doman Rebellion erupted shortly after Kamome's fifteenth [[nameday]]. In a betrayal of her parents' trust, smugglers captured by the Garleans revealed the treason their village had committed against the Empire. Within two bells, soldiers descended on the villagers and what ensued was wholesale slaughter. Kamome's mother and young sister were the first to die.

===A Cruel Mercy===

Kamome wishes nothing more desperately than to forget the circumstances of her survival on that day. She was beaten, then taken from the village as a deserter's hostage after Imperial infighting left one of their own commanding officers murdered. Of her journey to Eorzea she remembers only the violence, hunger and cruelty; never before the voyage on that cramped barge had she been forced to fight to protect herself. Nor had she ever known the depravity some men were capable of. By the time the vessel reached Limsa Lominsa's port, she and the other passengers lay weak and near death. Upon arrival, trafficking and smuggling cartels immediately extorted and indentured the arrivals who were fit to work. Kamome's life in Eorzea had begun—but she had become little more than a slave in this threatening foreign land.

==x. Present (1577 - 1579)==

===A Grievance with Garlemald===

Kamome sees her life in Eorzea with a singular, naive purpose: the destruction of Garlemald. Over the past moons, she has become enamored with what she understands of the Lominsan [[bard]]s' tales of the [[Eorzean Alliance]], the [[Battle of Carteneau]] and, most of all, the [[adventurers]] who became the Warriors of Light. Every sun, she labors tirelessly on the docks to clear her debt to the refugee Doman smugglers who provide her shelter in a crowded warehouse. A desire to leave Limsa Lominsa for the northern border of Eorzea burns in her heart. As the cold ocean wind bites at her face, she wonders where she will go, and how she will fight. The only thing certain and real to her in this harsh, foreign land is her hatred for the dark-armored soldiers who took from her everything she loved.

She convinced them to allow her family to adapt their small boats in to trading vessels that would bring the villagers wealth. Kamome admired and respected Suzume beyond anyone else, as did the villagers.

Nor had she ever known the depravity some men were capable of. By the time the vessel reached Limsa Lominsa's port, she and the other passengers lay weak and near death. Upon arrival, trafficking and smuggling cartels immediately extorted and indentured the arrivals who were fit to work. Kamome's life in Eorzea had begun—but she had become little more than a slave in this threatening foreign land.

==x. Present (1577 - 1579)==

===A Grievance with Garlemald===

Kamome sees her life in Eorzea with a singular purpose: the destruction of Garlemald. Over the past moons, she has become enamored with what she understands of the Lominsan [[bard]]s' tales of the [[Eorzean Alliance]], the [[Battle of Carteneau]] and, most of all, the [[adventurers]] who became the Warriors of Light. Every sun, she labors tirelessly on the docks to clear her debt to the refugee Doman smugglers who provide her shelter in a crowded warehouse. A desire to leave Limsa Lominsa for the northern border of Eorzea burns in her heart. As the cold ocean wind bites at her face, she wonders where she will go, and how she will fight. The only thing certain and real to her in this harsh, foreign land is her hatred for the dark-armored soldiers who took from her everything she loved.

<font face=Verdana> <div style="text-align:justify;">

==x. General==

Kamome Greywing works on the docks of [[Limsa Lominsa]]—known by most simply as 'Gull'. Sun after sun, the young hyur woman can be seen alongside other refugees weaving nets, moving cargo and counting gil under the hawkish watch of two salty-browed thugs. She has called [[Eorzea]] home for less than two moons, and the fact is painfully obvious in her daily struggles to navigate the chaos of the city's [[Lower Decks]]. She possesses martial skill limited to the basic fist fighting needed for survival in her line of work. However, she has a remarkable talent for understanding the currents of the sea and wind. In the dim light of early mornings, she can be found perched high above the port's stench of fish and salt. There she is always looking across the [[Rhotano Sea]], feeling the fresh wind on her face and watching the ships come and go.

==x. Appearance==

Possessed of an undeniable elegance, Kamome's youthful beauty does not go unnoticed among Limsa Lominsa's dockhands and mariners. Alabaster skin, sable hair and strikingly dark eyes mark her [[Doma]]n origins; soft features and a supple body mark her age. Her demeanor, however, is far more solemn than that of most seventeen year-olds. She approaches daily life with seriousness—her brow seemingly eternally knitted in concentration. The girl can only be caught smiling to herself during her morning walks to the [[Upper Decks]]. There, the view of the open sea visibly brings her peace. She owns only a few garments of her own: a well-worn leather jacket, slops, a tunic, and an old, hempen bandana. Despite her poverty, she strives to keep a clean appearance and carry herself with dignity.

==x. Personality==

Never one for excessive talk, Kamome has become even more reticent as a resident of Limsa Lominsa. She finds the noise and crudeness of the city frightening and she never feels safe, even working among some of her own countrymen on the docks. She has difficulty placing trust in others after the traumatic events of the past year. Due to this, she seeks out the city's less populated corners when she finds a moment to escape her work. Deep inside, Kamome is lonely and filled with sadness. Flashbacks of the massacre of her village are never far behind her. Even so, the girl has a defiant spirit that helps to soothe her melancholy. She lives her miserable life with a surprising sense of purpose; on the rare occasion that she does confide in others, she reveals her sincere belief that the [[Garlean]]s will be defeated by the heroes of Eorzea. She slaves away on the docks with such great dedication because she believes she could become such a hero—just like the [[Warriors of Light]] who gave up their lives confronting [[Garlemald]]'s evil. Beneath her guarded demeanor, Kamome holds tightly to a hope that there are Eorzeans who would fight nobly alongside her against their common enemy.

==x. Past (1561 - 1577)==

===A Village by the Sea===

Kamome was born in a rural, seaside village three years after the establishment of Garlean rule in Doma. Rugged beauty and the peaceful sound of waves surrounded her childhood home. In this idyllic place, her only fears were of dark-armored soldiers who would come to the docks every moon to trade.

Her family ran a small but lucrative shipping company in cooperation with the town's fishermen. The company, and thus the village, thrived under Imperial rule by capitalizing on Garlemald's need to supply its forces. Prosperity reigned and occupation seemed a blessing to the once-impoverished villagers. During this tranquil time, Kamome trained with her father, a navigator and academic who had come from a larger town to the countryside settlement only after marriage. He chatted the company's maritime routes and studied the currents of both sea and wind as an Eorzean [[skywatcher]] observes the coming and going of storms and sunshine. Through this education, young Kamome developed a early sensitivity to the subtleties of the [[aether]] around her.

===Wings of Rebellion===

As she came of age, whispers began to spread of Imperial oppression and persecution of the Doman people. Soon after these rumors began, Kamome's parents covertly lent their aid to Doman smugglers, offering use of their little-known village as a safe harbor. Working as double agents, the company quietly sabotaged Garlean supply runs under the masterful tactics of Kamome's mother, [[Suzume Greywing]]. Words of support for outright revolt became common on the docks.

The Doman Rebellion erupted shortly after Kamome's fifteenth [[nameday]]. In a betrayal of her parents' trust, smugglers captured by the Garleans revealed the treason their village had committed against the Empire. Within two bells, soldiers descended on the villagers and what ensued was wholesale slaughter. Kamome's mother and young sister were the first to die.

===Cruel Mercy===

Kamome wishes nothing more desperately than to forget the circumstances of her survival on that day. She was beaten, then taken from the village as a deserter's hostage after Imperial infighting left one of their own commanding officers murdered. Of her journey to Eorzea she remembers only the violence, hunger and cruelty; never before the voyage on that cramped barge had she been forced to fight to protect herself. Nor had she ever known the depravity some men were capable of. By the time the vessel reached Limsa Lominsa's port, she and the other passengers lay weak and near death. Upon arrival, trafficking and smuggling cartels immediately extorted and indentured the arrivals who were fit to work.

She has difficulty placing trust in others after the traumatic events of the past year. Due to this, she seeks out the city's less populated corners when she finds a moment to escape her work. Deep inside, Kamome is lonely and filled with sadness. Flashbacks of the massacre of her village are never far behind her. Even so, the girl has a defiant spirit that helps to soothe her melancholy. She lives her miserable life with a surprising sense of purpose; on the rare occasion that she does confide in others, she reveals her sincere belief that the [[Garlean]]s will be defeated by the heroes of Eorzea. She slaves away on the docks with such great dedication because she believes she could become such a hero—just like the [[Warriors of Light]] who gave up their lives confronting [[Garlemald]]'s evil. Beneath her guarded demeanor, Kamome holds tightly to a hope that there are Eorzeans who would fight nobly alongside her against their common enemy.

==x. Past (1561 - 1577)==

===A Peaceful Seaside Village===

Kamome was born in a rural, seaside village three years after the establishment of Garlean rule in Doma. Rugged beauty and the peaceful sound of waves surrounded her childhood home. In this idyllic place, her only fears were of dark-armored soldiers who would come to the docks every moon to trade.

Her family ran a small but lucrative shipping company in cooperation with the town's fishermen. The company, and thus the village, thrived under Imperial rule by capitalizing on Garlemald's need to supply its forces. Prosperity reigned and occupation seemed a blessing to the once-impoverished villagers. During this tranquil time, Kamome trained with her father, a navigator and academic who had come from a larger town to the countryside settlement only after marriage. He chatted the company's maritime routes and studied the currents of both sea and wind as an Eorzean [[skywatcher]] observes the coming and going of storms and sunshine. Through this education, young Kamome developed a early sensitivity to the subtleties of the [[aether]] around her.

===Wings of Rebellion===

As she came of age, whispers began to spread of Imperial oppression and persecution of the Doman people. Soon after these rumors began, Kamome's parents covertly lent their aid to Doman smugglers, offering use of their little-known village as a safe harbor. Working as double agents, the company quietly sabotaged Garlean supply runs under the masterful tactics of Kamome's mother, [[Suzume Greywing]]. Words of support for outright revolt became common on the docks.

The Doman Rebellion erupted shortly after Kamome's fifteenth [[nameday]]. In a betrayal of her parents' trust, smugglers captured by the Garleans revealed the treason their village had committed against the Empire. Within two bells, soldiers descended on the villagers and what ensued was wholesale slaughter. Kamome's mother and young sister were the first to die.

===The Caged Bird===

Kamome wishes nothing more desperately than to forget the circumstances of her survival on that day. She was beaten, then taken from the village as a hostage after Imperial infighting left one of their own commanding officers murdered. Of her journey to Eorzea she remembers only the violence, hunger and cruelty; never before the voyage on that cramped barge had she been forced to fight to protect herself. Nor had she ever known the depravity some men were capable of. By the time the vessel reached Limsa Lominsa's port, she and the other passengers lay weak and near death. Upon arrival, trafficking and smuggling cartels immediately extorted and indentured the arrivals who were fit to work. Kamome's life in Eorzea had begun—but she had become little more than a slave in this threatening foreign land.

==x. Present (1577 - 1579)==

===A Grievance with Garlemald===

Kamome sees her life in Eorzea with a singular purpose: the destruction of Garlemald. Over the past moons, she has become enamored with what she understands of the Lominsan [[bard]]s' tales of the [[Eorzean Alliance]], the [[Battle of Carteneau]] and, most of all, the [[adventurers]] who became the Warriors of Light. Every sun, she labors tirelessly on the docks to clear her debt to the refugee Doman smugglers who provide her shelter in a crowded warehouse. A desire to leave Limsa Lominsa for the northern border of Eorzea burns in her heart. As the cold ocean wind bites at her face, she wonders where she will go, and how she will fight. The only thing certain and real to her in this harsh, foreign land is her hatred for the dark-armored soldiers who took from her everything she loved.

<font face=Verdana> <div style="text-align:justify;">

==x. General==

Kamome Greywing works on the docks of [[Limsa Lominsa]]—known by most simply as 'Gull'. Sun after sun, the young hyur woman can be seen alongside other refugees weaving nets, moving cargo and counting gil under the hawkish watch of two salty-browed thugs. She has called [[Eorzea]] home for less than two moons, and the fact is painfully obvious in her daily struggles to navigate the chaos of the city's [[Lower Decks]]. She possesses martial skill limited to the basic fist fighting needed for survival in her line of work. However, she has a remarkable talent for understanding the currents of the sea and wind. In the dim light of early mornings, she can be found perched high above the port's stench of fish and salt. There she is always looking across the [[Rhotano Sea]], feeling the fresh wind on her face and watching the ships come in.

==x. Appearance==

Possessed of an undeniable elegance, Kamome's youthful beauty does not go unnoticed among Limsa Lominsa's dockhands and mariners. Alabaster skin, sable hair and strikingly dark eyes mark her [[Doma]]n origins; soft features and a supple body mark her age. Her demeanor, however, is far more solemn than that of most seventeen year-olds. She approaches daily life with seriousness—her brow seemingly eternally knitted in concentration. The girl can only be caught smiling to herself during her morning walks to the [[Upper Decks]]. There, the view of the open sea visibly brings her peace. She owns only a few garments of her own: a well-worn leather jacket, slops, a tunic, and an old, hempen bandana. Despite her poverty, she strives to keep a clean appearance and carry herself with dignity.

==x. Personality==

Never one for excessive talk, Kamome has become even more reticent as a resident of Limsa Lominsa. She finds the noise and crudeness of the city frightening and she never feels safe, even working among some of her own countrymen on the docks. She has difficulty placing trust in others after the traumatic events of the past year. Due to this, she seeks out the city's less populated corners when she finds a moment to escape her work.

<font face=Verdana> <div style="text-align:justify;">

==x. General==

Rosalind Westwind lives a largely solitary existence as an itinerant tomemonger, scavenger and amateur historian. She supplies tattered volumes to private collectors, [[Ul'dah]]'s various archives and, on occasion, by ferry to the [[Arcanists' Guild]] in [[Limsa Lominsa]]. A novice [[arcanist]], she knows only enough magic to poison the occasional wild animal or bandit. She often encounters such distractions during her raids for forgotten books and scrolls: [[Thanalan]]'s harsh landscape, coupled with the [[Calamity]]'s recent destruction afford her numerous pillaged caravans, abandoned homes and empty camps to survey. It is by these dubious methods she ekes out a meager livelihood and keeps her cart in working order.

==x. Appearance==

Her ordinary hyuran looks, standard height and Thanalan-tanned skin allow Rosalind to disappear easily in the thick crowds of Ul'dah. She rarely dons anything but a simple shepherd's tunic, always with at least one [[grimoire]] latched to her belt and a rucksack filled to the brim and rustling loudly with scrolls. She is forever scanning her surroundings—prying eyes taking in the minutest of details. She is unaware of the fact that her intense, grey-eyed stare unnerves those around her—most often, her customers. Her mud-brown hair is overgrown, unkempt and coated with dust. Her face, too, is never without a fresh layer of dirt—sure evidence of her more frequent excursions beyond Ul'dah's walls. Long nights and the day's ubiquitous sun have begun to take their toll on Rosalind's face: it appears crinkled and sleepless. Nonetheless, age and hardship have yet to dampen the knowledge-hungry gleam in her eyes.

==x. Personality==

In spite of her solitary lifestyle, Rosalind is an extrovert: her energies are always directed outward in pursuit of knowledge. Incredibly observant, she picks up on the hidden cues and meanings cached in her environment, her tomes and her associates. It is worth noting that while Rosalind is very interested in the world and people around her, she views both with a harsh, cold objectivity. Her tendency to intellectualize prevents her from building personal relationships with others. This fact does not imply she dislikes conversation or interaction—nothing of the sort. She can frequently be seen lecturing her dimmer customers and, alternately, passionately debating her more academically-minded patrons. She is widely known in Ul'dah for her eccentric lifestyle and beliefs. Most respectable citizens manage to avoid her, but she has made many friends among the Ala Mhigan refugees who share both her interest in Garlemald (though towards entirely different ends) and her poor personal hygiene.

==x. Past (1554 - 1572)==

===Ul'dahn Origins===

Rosalind was born in a wealthy district of Ul'dah to a respected family. As two of the few hyuran Priests of [[Nald]], her parents held themselves, and Rosalind, to remarkably high standards of achievement. Most of their colleagues were highly ambitious [[lalafell]] and as such, many of Rosalind's closest friends as a child were lalafellin. She spent her youth within the walls of the [[Milvaneth Sacrarium]], the center of Nald's worship in Ul'dah. Until the Calamity, Rosalind rarely left the Sacrarium's extensive library.

===A Precocious Youth===

From a tender age, she held a never-ending fascination with astrology, divination and history—the domains of her chosen Guardian of [[The Twelve]], [[Althyk, the Keeper]]. By adulthood, she had become completely obsessed with predicting the cycles of the [[Astral]] and [[Umbral Eras]]. When the Archons rose to prominence at the end of the [[Sixth Astral Era]] and [[Dalamud]] began to draw near, she began sleeping in a hidden corner of the Sacrarium, searching frantically for answers. Her parents fully expected her obsessions to pass and for her to become a priestess, herself. Rosalind was, however, dismissive of her parents' desire to continue winning Nald's favor and advance the family's position in Ul'dah. The young woman viewed Nald's domain as a petty, inconsequential one in the greater fabric of time and destiny. Perhaps fortunately for Rosalind, the Calamity would bring an end to her parents' intended plans.

===After the Calamity===

With the destruction of the Sacrarium and its extensive libraries in the Calamity, Rosalind isolated herself from everyone she knew, including her family. She clung to written knowledge, desperate for certainty, and eventually rebuilt her life around the creaky book cart she now considers a home. Engrossed in histories, recovered journals and aetheric theory, she all but disappeared from Ul'dahn society, much to her parents' disdain. Her pride made her come to shame herself for failing to predict the coming of the [[Seventh Umbral Era]].

Sadly, the more she discovered, the more she became resigned to a belief that the answers she sought llie far, far beyond the sands of Thanalan. No library or archive could ever reveal the truth to her about Dalamud or [[Garlemald]]. The Calamity's unforeseen destruction of so much only supported this belief and confirmed all of her greatest fears. No scholar in Ul'dah or Limsa Lominsa knew precisely what occurred or what the Garleans were now planning. What did the coming of the Seventh Umbral Era portend? Surely an even greater struggle—an even deeper misery—than had already befallen [[Eorzea]]. Rosalind was sure of it.

==x. Present (1572 - 1579)==

===The Tome Raider===

More frequently, Rosalind's search for the tomes and records of the past have lead her into the deeper regions of Thanalan. With the ushering in of the [[Seventh Astral Era]] and the mass withdrawal of Garlean forces from Eorzea, she can travel further north than ever before. What knowledge lies beyond the well-traveled trade routes and scattered ruins of the desert? Her desire to expedition into her desert homeland's lost corners have led to a partnership with an Ala Mihgan refugee named [[Landebert]]. He and several of his [[Pearl Lane]] compatriots have taught her of the dangers that lie to the north and how to prepare herself for combat. She now trains herself for the greater challenges ahead.

<font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font> [PC] [[Rowan Hunt]] - Rosalind regards this energetic boy with gratitude after he aided her in recovering a stolen tome.
