Unbeknownst to her, Auralia was formally the spearhead of an up and coming criminal cartel in the Ul'dan area. A combination of poor business decisions and rash emotional actions led to her untimely downfall and assumed death. Nine months after having disappeared, the person who would be known as Aura washed up on the shores of Limsa from an assumed shipwreck with no memory of her former life. Currently working as a hand for a merchant vessel, Aura spends her time reacquainting herself with the world and with herself. Her investigations into her circumstances and her past have revealed that her memory loss can be attributed to aetheric manipulation and not from injury or harm. Any recollection of who she was is gone but as she continues on she rediscovers things she loved, things she practiced, excelled and failed at.

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

Aura washed up on the Limsian shoreline as a bloodied heap with little clue as to where she came from. She was discovered armed with a gunblade, wearing a gold necklace, a silver bracelet with a red bauble and the tattered clothes on her back. Her injuries would have been fatal had it not been for a medic of the Midnight Pearl who was there to tend to her upon discovery. Her injuries were magically inflected. Burn marks and areas where her skin had been flayed open with lightning covered her form and filled with sand and seawater. Her clothing was covered in soot and blood....far too much blood to have only been hers. The crew of the Pearl deduced she must have been in some sort of combat and somehow came out alive. They took her back to the ship where she recovered and accepted their generous hospitality. She works now as a hand on the Merchant vessel, brokering business deals where she can and defending it in sea combat if necessary.

<i>"Yet it was not death. Not the type of death she was so assured it was. Her heart beat still. Her small, shallow breaths continued. However, her mind was now lost, and with it her memories of pleasure, pain, wills, and vendetta. The people and things she knew, valued and sub sequentially devalued. They slipped though the cracks in her consciousness to fall into nothingness. This, the final effect of the spells used against her, took hold. If her injuries didn't physically kill her then her enemy made sure her consciousness would never recover. She'd not possess the memories to know to defend herself nor the fact that she would need to prepare for when he finally came to finish her."</i>

: Aura is of typical to slightly shorter height for a Miqo'te. Her hair is a distinctive light pink color and her tail is downy and fluffy. She enjoys wearing nice clothing and accessories and makes an effort to present herself as best as possible at all times while taking appropriateness for the situation into account. Aura can almost always been seen wearing three items: A sword slung across her back, a golden necklace of expensive make, and a silver bracelet with a red bauble hanging from it. She is fiercely protective of the items. Physically, she could be considered generally attractive and youthful.

: Her attitude is friendly and she tends to react with bewilderment when her attempts at being jovial are rejected. She prefers to not focus on things are that difficult to swallow. She has a habit towards avoidance that shouldn't come as surprising to someone in her situation. Despite her tendency to ignore the harsher aspects of things, she has the capacity to care deeply for those who have extended her kindness where she otherwise would have died. Her actions tend to speak louder in these scenarios as her words can sometimes become jumbled, rendering her unable to articulate what she really wishes to.

: When left to her own devices, Aura is well spoken and literate - suggesting that along the road somewhere she was properly educated. Her penmanship is developed and while she doesn't bring attention to it she even has a flair for calligraphy. However, when in the company of her Limsian comrades she can't help but have the manner of speech rub off on her. Due to it not being native, the accent never sticks but on occasion she can be heard uttering some of the foulest things in the proper company. She makes a noticeable effort to shake the Limsian off her when she's trying to make an impression on another.

: Aura's memory loss has not rendered her inept. She retains knowledge of current, events, history and aether manipulation in the form of conjury. It's her knowledge of her own past that is affected. Each proficiency she's uncovered has been through trial and error and accident on her journey to figure out who she is and who she was. The quest is close to her heart and yet as time goes by she finds herself wondering if she truly wants it at all. The more she digs the more the people around her get hurt and the unhappier she becomes. Will the people she's meet in her new life keep her from rediscovering her past or will she continue on and discover the answers she may not truly desire?

: Aura has developed a distaste and avoidance of combat. Anytime she draws a blade with an intent to kill she feels herself change into someone she doesn't recognize. Her actions in this state are without quarter and it's only when her head clears that she's left with the guilt of what she's done. Even the thought of having to enter combat can bring her anxiety. She is not a pacifist and can understand the necessity for combat but she is no where near being able to accept the brutality that she's capable of committing and what she likely did in her past. Aura's moral core is strong. She has a sense of justice and right and wrong that carries her through life. Despite the realizations of the darkness of her past she clings to this in the hopes that maybe she no longer has to be that violent person she once was.

Roswyn is an orphan, born in the Black Shroud to her mother that died not long after her birth. Her father is a mystery figure and her beginnings were spent fighting, clawing and stealing for survival before a tragic, yet arguably fortunate, twist of fate led her to becoming a more well-to-do daughter of Ul'dah.

Roswyn's current and true occupation remains shrouded in mystery with only small clues trickling out here and there. A select few know the truth but they will never tell. Who is she? What are her goals? And why won't she discuss them?

((Updates Pending - 9/13.))

<font style="color:#FF6666;" size="2">'''★'''Information here may seem limited. This is intentional. Roswyn does not share details about her life or history with people freely. Certain information and personal relationship information is ambiguous because it is not publicly discussed. Anything listed here is strictly OOC knowledge unless Roswyn has discussed it with your character. </font>

<br/>

===<div style="padding-left:5px;padding-top:4px;height:30px;background:#560319; font-size:30px; color:#FFFFFF">Appearance</div>===

Roswyn is a light pink colored Miqo'te female with her hair ending in silver streaks and sliver streaks running through her tail. She stands at minimum height for a Miqo'te female. She is extremely small in stature but her body is lithe and dense, hiding an unseen prowess for combat. Her body is rather curvy where it counts and she has been known to use this as a manipulation tactic. When in the presence of company she is comfortable with, her ears and eyes become rather expressive. Her tail is downy and fluffy, slightly uncharacteristic for a Miqo'te.

Roswyn has a knack for immediately coming across as non-threatening and while this used to annoy her, she has long since gotten used to it. Her fragile appearance and demure coloration often give people approaching her a inaccurate portrait of her mind and physical capabilities. Roswyn will often let people carry on with this first impression, preferring to surprise them later if the situation should ever call for it.

===<div style="padding-left:5px;padding-top:7px;height:30px;background:#560319; font-size:30px; color:#FFFFFF">Behavior and Personality</div> ===

Roswyn has been told that she comes across as a well spoken, if not sarcastic, exquisite example of a young woman. However she does have a tendency to spoil this with her blunt manner of speaking. She will speak her mind and while she will do so eloquently she will not withhold her opinion either. She will often word criticism in such a way where one has to think about it first before replying as they may be unsure if she just insulted them to their face. This is a facet of her personality that has grown over the past few months and something she has no plans on curving.

She can often come across as distant and almost calculating if one is paying attention. She will rarely initiate conversation with a stranger, unless they specifically interest her in some way. However, in the presence of friendly company she tends to open up, telling jokes and poking fun. She is not above taking a verbal jab or two as long as it is genuinely funny and improves the conversation.

Roswyn used to be much more of a flirt than she is these days. She used to love nothing more than finding an attractive, well spoken gentleman and conversing the night away, seeing who could get the upper hand before the wine or ale took hold. However, this practice now seems to bore her. She is seen much less frequently in the Quicksand and Drowning Wench now, though has become a regular at The Laughing Lady.

She is a Keeper of the Moon and while she knows little of her specific bloodline, she has recently made efforts to delve into her past. This research was mostly prompted by her rare and occasional tendency to fall into a more feral state. Only a few have encountered this version of herself and she intends to keep it that way. Though she wonders what lies in her blood that can cause her to have such animalistic tendencies despite her upbringing.

It's apparent that is well educated, bearing an analytical mind, though she can come off surprisingly naive in other arenas. In matters of the heart, Roswyn lacks much needed insight. She makes every attempt she can to downplay this fact about herself, using biting sarcasm and disinterest to deflect interest shown in her. The cause for her seemingly random lack of knowledge in this area is unknown except to a scarce few.

Above all, Roswyn is governed by her own unique sense of justice.

===<div style="padding-left:5px;padding-top:7px;height:26px;background:#560319; font-size:30px; color:#FFFFFF">Combat</div>===

Roswyn has a temper and will not hesitate to fight if provoked. It's a trait that, despite her efforts to control always manages to flare up. She retains her physical combat prowess from her days as a bandit and thief, being extremely proficient with the dagger and bow but much less so with the sword due to her small stature. She has an aptitude for stealthiness, bearing the capability to remain still and hidden for almost hours at a time. This skill went largely unused for years though she has been practicing it's use once again for unknown reasons.

After her adoption, Roswyn went through intensive training as an Arcanist. She managed to develop these skills decently and while she enjoys reading about magic and arcanum, she could never quite develop a taste for this particular art, save for acid and poison manipulation. She does posses an aptitude for magic however and has recently traded in her grimore for a staff. Her skill in conjury continues to improve, but it's developing strangely. She possesses an odd ability to control her healing, leaving some areas of wounds closed while others heal and manipulating the look and severity of injuries. She's recognized her odd ability to control her aether this way and is pondering what she can make of it.

Her greatest combat strength, however, lies in numbers. In recent months, and especially after her kidnapping incident, Roswyn has taken great care to surround herself with people she trusts. She may appear alone but it should be understood that she is never truly alone. She does not often make the decision to engage in combat but when she does then all manner of tools at her disposal will be on the table. She will do what it takes to win, even if it means using manipulation, more deceitful tactics or switching and combining her fighting styles.

Roswyn will very '''''very''''' rarely make the decision to make an aggressive, violent move against another but when it does happen she prefers to operate meticulously, leaving no loopholes for error or failure. Once that point has been reached, she will aim to kill. No questions asked.

===<div style="padding-left:5px;padding-top:8px;height:30px;background:#560319; font-size:30px; color:#FFFFFF">Occupation, Skills, and Pastimes</div>===
Roswyn's true occupation is unknown. If asked about what she does or how she spends her time you will be met with sarcasm or an evasive reply. Whatever she does keeps her busy though. She will often remark to friends that she is on business at the time but will never delve into details. Most recently, she has taken on a business partner but she has only introduced them as such to very few.

=== Family ===

Roswyn was born in the Black Shroud, right on the forest floor. Her mother died shortly after her birth and her birth father is unknown. She does however, currently have a man she refers to as her father though if asked about him she will evade the topic unless the person asking has attained a certain level of her trust through one means or another.

<br/>'''Father:''' Vernon Valhuri – This man's name is spoken rarely and only to those in a very specific circle. He is a vastly secretive man, his occupation, face, and even race is a question mark for most people and the one things he is known for is his operations in the Ul'dan underground. If you know his name then you may know a thing or two about Roswyn as well.

((OOC Note: I am very open to some RP concerning Roswyn's family ties. Contact me OOCly in game if you feel this could be a tie in for your character :D))

She had met him before then, but she had rebuked his aggressive attempts at getting to know her better, viewing him as just another Seeker male. Business partner, bodyguard, or perhaps a mix of the two. His real relation to her is unknown and he's not seen around her as much as he used to be. For her part, Roswyn says nothing about what's happened between them but if the two are ever seen together it appears that not much has changed and the relationship is amiable. </td>

He was worried about her. He'd heard about her new partner but he refused to listen to anything she had to say on the matter and insisted she abandon her business deals and let him abscond with her. She'd declined, refusing to run away from the situation. Her inability to forfit and her trust in Lucaniel keep her in her position yet her stubborn nature refuses to let what she feels for Kayah slip away either. What -exactly- it is she feels though is a daunting question. One that will take time to figure out and one that Kayah seems fine with letting her explore for the moment. </td>

To the average person he's a merchant. To those in other circles, the rumours surrounding him warm them to stay away. He approached her one night in Ul'dah, using her last name rather flippantly to get her attention. Several weeks passing and brokering many business deals together have brought the two very close and Roswyn, in her typical fashion, appears to be ignoring all warnings that she should keep her distance. </td>

Possibly unbeknonst to him, he was accidentally privvy to one of her bigger secrets. She carried on however, not attracting attention to the subject. In general, Roswyn likes him though she wonders how the hell he's gotten wrapped up with his current company. She worries for him a bit even though such worry is likely better reserved for herself. </td>

No sooner did Roswyn extend the girl an opportunity did she begin to deliver. Skratti hides a few secrets and Roswyn intends to help the girl develop her already innate talents.

They'd already spoken about possible business deals between the two of them and after he'd impressed her she was sure to act on this. The man is a bit of an enigma, shying away from most people and crowds, yet he tends to seek her out. She isn't exactly sure what to make of this and she does her best to ignore her own desire to seek him out as well. </td>

The day finally came and Roswyn was pleased to discover that there was more to Lyuri, and a few others, than meets the eye. As events have passed, Lyuri and Roswyn have grown closer and Roswyn feels more comfortable being herself around her. That is, letting Lyuri know exactly how rigid Roswyn's sense of justice can be. </td>

Everytime she manages to run into the girl, however, she always seems to be in some sort of odd predicamant. Roswyn is always quick to lend a hand, having taken a liking to the girl, but Siha's hesitance to speak resulted in some recent misunderstandings. </td>

Roswyn then extended her a hand in friendship. To quote what she said to her: "I'm tired of having enemies." to which Aldyet agreed.

She'd not met or seen him before and his rather long title and list of occupations caught her rather off guard. She'd found that he'd been on a mission and recently returned to Ul'dah. He is a little stoic for her tastes, however. Almost oddly robotic in his sense of duty. Admirable, but boring. </td>

Ignasse is one of the men that carries a scar on his face from Ros's temper. In retrospect, she has no idea why he chooses to remain on "good" terms with her but she is glad he does. The two have become closer as of late, with Roswyn finally admitting how much she enjoys his company. The feeling was surprisingly reciprocated and now the two stand at an odd impasse.

It seems a strange dichotomy for a battle-worn man such as him but it's a contrast she enjoys. She would very much like to do business with him...or perhaps just see him again. </td>

=== Common Rumors ===

::*She used to frequent the Quicksand quite often. We don't see her much anymore.
::*She still does seem to enjoy fashion, doesn't she?
::*I overheard her yelling and growling at some poor Merchant. Sounds like she has a temper.

=== Moderate Rumors ===

::*That girl occasionally wears weapons. I think she knows how to use them too.
::*You know, come to think of it, I have no idea what she actually does for a living...
::*She tends to stick to Miqo'te. Hyur's maybe. Elezen? Forget it.
::*In all the times I've seen her introduce herself she has "never" used a last name. And I mean Never.

=== Rare Rumors ===

::*We see her duck in and out of houses here in Drybone before she heads North somewhere. Ain't much had the nerve to try followin her.
::*Aye, she passes through South Shroud. She manages to wander into bandit camps and come out unscathed. It's enough to make a person wonder about her affiliations...
::*Her? No. Stay away. You'll get your face carved up or go missing. That one snaps.
::*I once heard a man joke about her summoning demons of some kind to protect her. Maybe it was in jest but his face was straight the whole time...

=== Player Character Rumors ===

::*"She combines farsighted vision with selective blindness, and a crystal certainty that she is always right. She is ambitious, and ruthless in her pursuit of her ambition. Yet beneath it all she is still vulnerable, and that makes her eminently appealing. I've watched her grow from a young girl to a capable young woman, watched her build something she's always wanted. We may not see one another, nor even speak anymore, but I've never been more proud of her." - [[C'kayah Tia]]
::*"Stubborn as a brick in the wind." - [[Keroa Mosuke]]
::*"I've only just met her recently. I saw her once before when I first came to Ul'dah, and the first impression was rather poor. I've heard more negatives then positives about her, but you know how people like to talk. So far she seems friendly enough." - [[Lilithium Altair]]
::*Feel free to add if you know of her!

===<div style="padding-left:5px;padding-top:10px;height:30px;background:#560319; font-size:30px; color:#FFFFFF">History</div>===

=== Childhood ===

Roswyn's childhood was defined by many factors she'd prefer to never experience again. It's rare she's heard discussing it and even rarer for her to disclose details. A member of a rather unremarkable group of bandits in the Black Shroud, Roswyn was adopted into this lifestyle when her mother was killed by the same group that adopted her. Her mother's death was an unfortunate accident, a stray arrow catching her during a robbing of the caravan she happened to be traveling in. Roswyn was born mere moments before her death and all she knows of her mother was told her her by the members of her gurilla group who happened to be present that day.

Roswyn grew up embedded in this lifestyle defined by a hatred of Wildwoods, a distaste for the Adder, and a drive to survive. Being cold, persecuted, and hungry were staples of her younger years and it wouldn't have been beyond her to put an arrow in the throat of a Gridanian guard who happened to wander too far from the trail leading to his city if she thought he had food or provisions she could procure.

It was the Calamity that ended this lifestyle for her, resulting in her adoption. She watched the majority of her adoptive family perish before her eyes that day and she herself merely laid on the ground, waiting to accept death at the hands of fate, until she found herself scooped up and taken elsewhere.

=== Adolescence ===

At the age of 14, Roswyn found herself adopted and brought to Ul'dah, a city like she never could have imagined from her humble scope of the world. It took several years of education and training for her to overcome her humble upbringing, her patterns of speech and dialect changing to reflect this. Despite her origins, Roswyn possessed a keen mind and this was swiftly recognized by her adoptive father. In addition to her training as an Archanist, she was taught many other skills that are evident today with her current line of work. Through her years of study, her instructors recognized that she had an amazing, yet untapped aptitude for magic that she had never focused on. It was also discovered that she had a very specific mental and personality disorder, likely developed after the Calamity, and it's something that affects her to this day.

At was at this time of about 15 years of age that Roswyn met [[C'kayah Tia]], a smuggler who had been doing business with her father. Roswyn grew rather fond of the man. He was always kind to her and armed with a gift or a story to tell. She never could have known than that it would be this relationship that would explode into an array of complications once she reached adulthood.

=== Present ===
Roswyn is fairly new on the scene in Ul'dah, leading many to wonder where the hell she came from. She posses a strange amount of knowledge of the underworld for a young woman and can come across as oddly threatening and calculating, while at the same time leaving people with the impression that she is harmless. Who knows where this chosen path will lead her?

::*Anyone with ties to the Ul'dahn underground.
::*Anyone who peruses the shadier bars.
::*Mercs, sellswords or assassins looking for hire or information brokers or informants looking to make a contact.
::*Anyone desiring access to illegal contraband of almost any sort.
::*Anyone who opens conversation with her in public. She tends not to open it herself unless you interest her in a particular way.

Roswyn will likely change a bit with the release of rogue/ninja as this was how the character was originally envisioned.

Roswyn is an orphan, born in the Black Shroud to her mother that died not long after her birth. Her father is a mystery figure and her beginnings were spent fighting, clawing and stealing for survival before a tragic, yet arguably fortunate, twist of fate led her to becoming a more well-to-do daughter of Ul'dah.

Roswyn's current and true occupation remains shrouded in mystery with only small clues trickling out here and there. A select few know the truth but they will never tell. Who is she? What are her goals? And why won't she discuss them?

((Updates Pending - 9/13.))

<font style="color:#FF6666;" size="2">'''★'''Information here may seem limited. This is intentional. Roswyn does not share details about her life or history with people freely. Certain information and personal relationship information is ambiguous because it is not publicly discussed. Anything listed here is strictly OOC knowledge unless Roswyn has discussed it with your character. </font>

<br/>

===<div style="padding-left:5px;padding-top:4px;height:30px;background:#560319; font-size:30px; color:#FFFFFF">Appearance</div>===

Roswyn is a light pink colored Miqo'te female with her hair ending in silver streaks and sliver streaks running through her tail. She stands at minimum height for a Miqo'te female. She is extremely small in stature but her body is lithe and dense, hiding an unseen prowess for combat. Her body is rather curvy where it counts and she has been known to use this as a manipulation tactic. When in the presence of company she is comfortable with, her ears and eyes become rather expressive. Her tail is downy and fluffy, slightly uncharacteristic for a Miqo'te.

Roswyn has a knack for immediately coming across as non-threatening and while this used to annoy her, she has long since gotten used to it. Her fragile appearance and demure coloration often give people approaching her a inaccurate portrait of her mind and physical capabilities. Roswyn will often let people carry on with this first impression, preferring to surprise them later if the situation should ever call for it.

===<div style="padding-left:5px;padding-top:7px;height:30px;background:#560319; font-size:30px; color:#FFFFFF">Behavior and Personality</div> ===

Roswyn has been told that she comes across as a well spoken, if not sarcastic, exquisite example of a young woman. However she does have a tendency to spoil this with her blunt manner of speaking. She will speak her mind and while she will do so eloquently she will not withhold her opinion either. She will often word criticism in such a way where one has to think about it first before replying as they may be unsure if she just insulted them to their face. This is a facet of her personality that has grown over the past few months and something she has no plans on curving.

She can often come across as distant and almost calculating if one is paying attention. She will rarely initiate conversation with a stranger, unless they specifically interest her in some way. However, in the presence of friendly company she tends to open up, telling jokes and poking fun. She is not above taking a verbal jab or two as long as it is genuinely funny and improves the conversation.

Roswyn used to be much more of a flirt than she is these days. She used to love nothing more than finding an attractive, well spoken gentleman and conversing the night away, seeing who could get the upper hand before the wine or ale took hold. However, this practice now seems to bore her. She is seen much less frequently in the Quicksand and Drowning Wench now, though has become a regular at The Laughing Lady.

She is a Keeper of the Moon and while she knows little of her specific bloodline, she has recently made efforts to delve into her past. This research was mostly prompted by her rare and occasional tendency to fall into a more feral state. Only a few have encountered this version of herself and she intends to keep it that way. Though she wonders what lies in her blood that can cause her to have such animalistic tendencies despite her upbringing.

It's apparent that is well educated, bearing an analytical mind, though she can come off surprisingly naive in other arenas. In matters of the heart, Roswyn lacks much needed insight. She makes every attempt she can to downplay this fact about herself, using biting sarcasm and disinterest to deflect interest shown in her. The cause for her seemingly random lack of knowledge in this area is unknown except to a scarce few.

Above all, Roswyn is governed by her own unique sense of justice.

===<div style="padding-left:5px;padding-top:7px;height:26px;background:#560319; font-size:30px; color:#FFFFFF">Combat</div>===

Roswyn has a temper and will not hesitate to fight if provoked. It's a trait that, despite her efforts to control always manages to flare up. She retains her physical combat prowess from her days as a bandit and thief, being extremely proficient with the dagger and bow but much less so with the sword due to her small stature. She has an aptitude for stealthiness, bearing the capability to remain still and hidden for almost hours at a time. This skill went largely unused for years though she has been practicing it's use once again for unknown reasons.

After her adoption, Roswyn went through intensive training as an Arcanist. She managed to develop these skills decently and while she enjoys reading about magic and arcanum, she could never quite develop a taste for this particular art, save for acid and poison manipulation. She does posses an aptitude for magic however and has recently traded in her grimore for a staff. Her skill in conjury continues to improve, but it's developing strangely. She possesses an odd ability to control her healing, leaving some areas of wounds closed while others heal and manipulating the look and severity of injuries. She's recognized her odd ability to control her aether this way and is pondering what she can make of it.

Her greatest combat strength, however, lies in numbers. In recent months, and especially after her kidnapping incident, Roswyn has taken great care to surround herself with people she trusts. She may appear alone but it should be understood that she is never truly alone. She does not often make the decision to engage in combat but when she does then all manner of tools at her disposal will be on the table. She will do what it takes to win, even if it means using manipulation, more deceitful tactics or switching and combining her fighting styles.

Roswyn will very '''''very''''' rarely make the decision to make an aggressive, violent move against another but when it does happen she prefers to operate meticulously, leaving no loopholes for error or failure. Once that point has been reached, she will aim to kill. No questions asked.

===<div style="padding-left:5px;padding-top:8px;height:30px;background:#560319; font-size:30px; color:#FFFFFF">Occupation, Skills, and Pastimes</div>===
Roswyn's true occupation is unknown. If asked about what she does or how she spends her time you will be met with sarcasm or an evasive reply. Whatever she does keeps her busy though. She will often remark to friends that she is on business at the time but will never delve into details. Most recently, she has taken on a business partner but she has only introduced them as such to very few.

=== Family ===

Roswyn was born in the Black Shroud, right on the forest floor. Her mother died shortly after her birth and her birth father is unknown. She does however, currently have a man she refers to as her father though if asked about him she will evade the topic unless the person asking has attained a certain level of her trust through one means or another.

<br/>'''Father:''' Vernon Valhuri – This man's name is spoken rarely and only to those in a very specific circle. He is a vastly secretive man, his occupation, face, and even race is a question mark for most people and the one things he is known for is his operations in the Ul'dan underground. If you know his name then you may know a thing or two about Roswyn as well.

She had met him before then, but she had rebuked his aggressive attempts at getting to know her better, viewing him as just another Seeker male. Business partner, bodyguard, or perhaps a mix of the two. His real relation to her is unknown, barring one person, but what is clear is that the two seem rarely apart during business or pleasure. When viewed from a distance, their relationship appears amiable, with lots of laughing and joking to be had. When closely observed there also seems to be non-verbal communication as well, subtle looks and slants of the eyes. Sometimes assumed for family due to their similar coloration, Roswyn has been told that an air of loyalty permeates them and she simply smiles. </td>

Nothing seem to fit. Time has drug on and Roswyn has decided that perhaps things are for the better the way they are. He's heard utterly no word from her since they parted and Roswyn seems to be carrying on with herself. The words she wrote will likely remain a mystery. </td>

No sooner did Roswyn extend the girl an opportunity did she begin to deliver. Skratti hides a few secrets and Roswyn intends to help the girl develop her already innate talents. She finds herself immensely impressed with Skratti's quick wit and judgement calls despite her age. </td>

She wasn't sure if she could take him or his abilities seriously until she actually saw him work. They'd already spoken about possible business deals between the two of them and after he'd impressed her she was sure to act on this. The man is a bit of an enigma, shying away from most people and crowds, yet he tends to seek her out. She isn't exactly sure what to make of this and she does her best to ignore her own desire to seek him out as well. </td>

The day finally came and Roswyn was pleased to discover that there was more to Lyuri, and a few others, than meets the eye. As events have passed, Lyuri and Roswyn have grown closer and Roswyn feels more comfortable being herself around her. That is, letting Lyuri know exactly how rigid Roswyn's sense of justice can be. </td>

She does her best to walk cautiously around the subject and treat the woman with respect. </td>

Siha once told Roswyn that she had a gift for getting people to talk and while she didn't admit it at the time she feels Siha has the same ability. Everytime she manages to run into the girl, however, she always seems to be in some sort of odd predicamant. Roswyn is always quick to lend a hand, having taken a liking to the girl, but Siha's hesitance to speak resulted in some recent misunderstandings. </td>

Roswyn had a very long discussion with her about the circumstances that led to her change and the two found out they had a lot more in common than they initially realized. Roswyn then extended her a hand in friendship. To quote what she said to her: "I'm tired of having enemies." to which Aldyet agreed.

Twice she'd seen him in passing. Once when a particular Blade was throwing coin at him and another time when she'd overheard a rather small Miqo'te man yelling at him about how untrustworthy he was. This was more than enough to pique her interest. They ended up speaking for several hours and despite his shortness with her questions she found herself oddly enthralled. Perhaps it's the mystery he embodies. However, she doesn't pretend that he wouldn't turn on her if it suited his current interests. </td>

<td style="width:50%";><font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font>'''[[Erik Mynhier]]''' : - Roswyn approached this gentleman because of his unique looks and very tall stature. She'd not met or seen him before and his rather long title and list of occupations caught her rather off guard. She'd found that he'd been on a mission and recently returned to Ul'dah. He is a little stoic for her tastes, however. Almost oddly robotic in his sense of duty. Admirable, but boring. </td>

Ignasse is one of the men that carries a scar on his face from Ros's temper. In retrospect, she has no idea why he chooses to remain on "good" terms with her but she is glad he does. The two have become closer as of late, with Roswyn finally admitting how much she enjoys his company. The feeling was surprisingly reciprocated and now the two stand at an odd impasse. A unique mess of pranking each other while giving sly winks and smiles. </td>

The two have discussed many subjects, not the least of which seems to be the odd, yet very distinct urge they both have to trust each other. They have many similarities and responsibilities, including the management of both their free companies and they're naturally able to retreat from this when they speak. While some of his behaviors should be putting her on guard, especially his habit of appearing in her room unannounced, she finding herself relaxed and amused instead. An unexpected, yet very welcome addition into her life. </td>

=== Common Rumors ===

::*She used to frequent the Quicksand quite often. We don't see her much anymore.
::*She still does seem to enjoy fashion, doesn't she?
::*I overheard her yelling and growling at some poor Merchant. Sounds like she has a temper.

=== Moderate Rumors ===

::*That girl occasionally wears weapons. I think she knows how to use them too.
::*You know, come to think of it, I have no idea what she actually does for a living...
::*She tends to stick to Miqo'te. Hyur's maybe. Elezen? Forget it.
::*In all the times I've seen her introduce herself she has "never" used a last name. And I mean Never.

=== Rare Rumors ===

::*We see her duck in and out of houses here in Drybone before she heads North somewhere. Ain't much had the nerve to try followin her.
::*Aye, she passes through South Shroud. She manages to wander into bandit camps and come out unscathed. It's enough to make a person wonder about her affiliations...
::*Her? No. Stay away. You'll get your face carved up or go missing. That one snaps.
::*I once heard a man joke about her summoning demons of some kind to protect her. Maybe it was in jest but his face was straight the whole time...

=== Player Character Rumors ===

::*"She combines farsighted vision with selective blindness, and a crystal certainty that she is always right. She is ambitious, and ruthless in her pursuit of her ambition. Yet beneath it all she is still vulnerable, and that makes her eminently appealing. I've watched her grow from a young girl to a capable young woman, watched her build something she's always wanted. We may not see one another, nor even speak anymore, but I've never been more proud of her." - [[C'kayah Tia]]
::*"Stubborn as a brick in the wind." - [[Keroa Mosuke]]
::*"I've only just met her recently. I saw her once before when I first came to Ul'dah, and the first impression was rather poor. I've heard more negatives then positives about her, but you know how people like to talk. So far she seems friendly enough." - [[Lilithium Altair]]
::*Feel free to add if you know of her!

===<div style="padding-left:5px;padding-top:10px;height:30px;background:#560319; font-size:30px; color:#FFFFFF">History</div>===

=== Childhood ===

Roswyn's childhood was defined by many factors she'd prefer to never experience again. It's rare she's heard discussing it and even rarer for her to disclose details. A member of a rather unremarkable group of bandits in the Black Shroud, Roswyn was adopted into this lifestyle when her mother was killed by the same group that adopted her. Her mother's death was an unfortunate accident, a stray arrow catching her during a robbing of the caravan she happened to be traveling in. Roswyn was born mere moments before her death and all she knows of her mother was told her her by the members of her gurilla group who happened to be present that day.

Roswyn grew up embedded in this lifestyle defined by a hatred of Wildwoods, a distaste for the Adder, and a drive to survive. Being cold, persecuted, and hungry were staples of her younger years and it wouldn't have been beyond her to put an arrow in the throat of a Gridanian guard who happened to wander too far from the trail leading to his city if she thought he had food or provisions she could procure.

It was the Calamity that ended this lifestyle for her, resulting in her adoption. She watched the majority of her adoptive family perish before her eyes that day and she herself merely laid on the ground, waiting to accept death at the hands of fate, until she found herself scooped up and taken elsewhere.

=== Adolescence ===

At the age of 14, Roswyn found herself adopted and brought to Ul'dah, a city like she never could have imagined from her humble scope of the world. It took several years of education and training for her to overcome her humble upbringing, her patterns of speech and dialect changing to reflect this. Despite her origins, Roswyn possessed a keen mind and this was swiftly recognized by her adoptive father. In addition to her training as an Archanist, she was taught many other skills that are evident today with her current line of work. Through her years of study, her instructors recognized that she had an amazing, yet untapped aptitude for magic that she had never focused on. It was also discovered that she had a very specific mental and personality disorder, likely developed after the Calamity, and it's something that affects her to this day.

At was at this time of about 15 years of age that Roswyn met [[C'kayah Tia]], a smuggler who had been doing business with her father. Roswyn grew rather fond of the man. He was always kind to her and armed with a gift or a story to tell. She never could have known than that it would be this relationship that would explode into an array of complications once she reached adulthood.

=== Present ===
Roswyn is fairly new on the scene in Ul'dah, leading many to wonder where the hell she came from. She posses a strange amount of knowledge of the underworld for a young woman and can come across as oddly threatening and calculating, while at the same time leaving people with the impression that she is harmless. Who knows where this chosen path will lead her?

The following characters may have the possibility of an RP link with Roswyn:

::*Anyone who has lived in Ul'dah might recognize her from the shopping she does around the city.
::*Anyone with ties to the Ul'dahn underground.
::*Anyone who peruses the shadier bars.
::*Mercs, sellswords or assassins looking for hire or information brokers or informants looking to make a contact.
::*Anyone desiring access to illegal contraband of almost any sort.
::*Anyone who opens conversation with her in public. She tends not to open it herself unless you interest her in a particular way.

=== Annotations ===

Roswyn will likely change a bit with the release of rogue/ninja as this was how the character was originally envisioned.

I used (and heavily edited) the template page of [[Brynhilde Wulf]] and [[Lurial Vashir]] after asking for permission first.

Orpheus was born to a single mother in a small village on an island somewhere near La Noscea, his father having died some time before his birth. Some fifteen years later he lost his mother in a similar manner and ended up traveling to Limsa Lominsa, a place he spent relatively little time in before leaving Eorzea with a group of mercenaries despite his young age.

He returned some years later and has since spent the time doing much the same work. Fighting, killing and protecting for coin. He still bears the scars of his time away from Eorzea, the story writ into his very skin to remind him of what he's lost.

<font style="color:#009933;" size="2">'''★'''Information here may seem limited. This is intentional. Orpheus does not share details about his life or history with people freely. Certain information and personal relationship information is ambiguous because it is not publicly discussed.

<br/>

===<div style="padding-left:5px;padding-top:4px;height:30px;background:#006699; font-size:30px; color:#FFFFFF">Appearance</div>===

Orpheus is a shockingly pink miqo'te, his hair marred with a spray of snow white dye that comes across as uncharacteristically vain considering the unkempt way he keeps his hair. He is notably tall for a miqo'te, a trait matched by his broad body and heavily muscled form, one more common on people acquainted with hard labour than those used to combat, but the calluses on his knuckles and hands show that he's well versed in both. This coupled with the immense number of scars he bears tends to give away that he is no stranger to a fight, something just as readily shown by the fact that he's rarely seen unarmed.

His icy orbs are slitted, obvious proof of his heritage as a Seeker of the Sun, but anyone observant would notice that his teeth are closer to fangs, a trait Seekers decidedly lack. In just about all circumstances, armoured or no, Orpheus is found with a weapon and even more often he has a myriad of pouches on his person, the largest of which sits in the small of back, just in front of the decorative clasp of the odd belt he wears that supports many of these pouches.

A rather notable feature of Orpheus are his ears. They are wide and thickly furred, as is normal for Seekers, however they bear a great deal of earrings, several empty but many filled with various link pearls, each given a separate earring. These earrings are almost eerily silent when he walks, as with the rest of him, but should he flick his ears in conversation they form an oddly musical staccato. His tail is as pink as his hair but is rather Keeper like in its almost wolfish appearance, the long and thick length made more so by the fluffy fur.

Many would describe Orpheus as a man that is quick with a smile and those that spend time in his company are no strangers to his laugh and sarcastic wit. These are traits that the casual observer might mistake for lightheartedness but in reality they disguise his oft flaring anger. When not smiling, his expression is heavy and severe, as if an intense focus holds his attention. Despite his odd combination of traits, he still tends to be a rather amiable person unless someone is fool enough to provoke his anger. He is a man that most would call kindhearted, even if he himself always denies these claims. He has an extremely obvious accent from the Lominsan area and this rough manner of speech along with a slight social awkwardness are often cause for new acquaintances to think him much slower than he actually is.

Orpheus is mostly known for working as a mercenary, however on many occasions he's proven himself willing to do just about whatever is offered. He is not above assisting in seemingly mundane tasks if it allows him to keep coin in his pocket and food on his table. As of late, he has been seen around a tavern named the Laughing Lady and one could easily discover that he has since found employment there as a bartender and guard.
