== Biographical ==

*'''Pronunciation''': Say-Oh-Hyun Ee-Yah-Suu
*'''Nicknames:''' Seo, Lilly, Snow, Dove.
*'''Place of birth:''' Ul'dah

*'''Height:''' 5'6

*'''Weight: '''115

*'''Body:''' Curvy

*'''Hair:''' Platinum

*'''Eyes:''' Light Grey

*'''Skin:''' Caramel Tan

*'''Clothing:''' Varies from expensive gowns, to clothes that reveal her long and slender legs.

*'''Other:''' Within the last five years Seohyun has become youthful beauty, but only because she spends much of her day taking care of herself. She of all people knows it takes a lot of time, and even pain, to take care of her feminine charms. Especially since looks can sometimes take you places that your personality or sword cannot. Her large grey eyes resemble a full-moon in the winter, waxing and waning. While beautiful, the eyes now show a hint of the struggle she's been forced to endure thanks to the Calamity. Her previously rare aura of gentle innocence and naivety due to her sheltered upbringing, has been replaced with one of resolve and survival. Her hair now drapes down to the bottom of her shoulder blades, cleanly kept and groomed as expected of an Ul'dahn woman. Her body frame looks frail and not fit for a battle-field, but her small and light frame allows her to be agile. When it comes to robing herself, she dresses herself in current fashions, favoring light colored clothing in order to bring out her tanned skin and amethyst eyes. She is usually seen wearing tight tailored clothing that clings to her body to show off her curves but makes sure not to reveal too much in order to keep something to imagination. Her eyes are truly the mirror to her soul. Usually all her emotions can be seen through the,, especially when she's mad. When Seohyun drops her "innocent" facade, and reveals her true and darker nature her face changes from the innocent damsel in distress to a much more mischievous and scheming tigress. Though the latter is usually only shown to her enemies or when extremely angered.

== Personality ==

Some would have once consider her personality her downfall. Seohyun can sometimes be extremely naive about the real world around her due to her sheltered upbringing. Whatever she knows about the world has been learned through her studies and whatever she could find in books. Leaving her not to understand some of the most basic things when she finds herself out in the "real world", and not having common street-smarts. But living amongst nobles has made her sharp, witty, and resourceful. It's no surprise that in the world of noble politics that you have to learn to swim with sharks. Seohyun knows how to use words to put herself in a beneficial situation, and get herself out of trouble. She is cunning, and sometimes even manipulative if she needs to be. If she finds that she can't outsmart someone, she'll tend to use money as another option. She uses her finances in order to reach her goals and to bring her places that looks and wit cannot. But more lays beneath the young lady that others tend to miss. Despite sometimes being made out to be a vain,shallow, and spoiled. She can be extremely caring and nurturing to her friends. She also feels as though it's her job to keep those around her entertained if things are going dull. Unlike most native Ul'dahn, if someone is to win her trust, she'll be extremely loyal (Sometimes to a fault) and be at their side even when their wrong. Her loyalty shows no bounds, she's even willing to follow someone she cares for deeply into a near death experience without questions asked. Because of this, she tries to not become attached to people, knowing that someone can easily take advantage of her loyalty. Though the Calamity has been rough on the young Heiress, having the people she depended on most disappear from the battle-field, she was left alone and forced to fend for herself. Though she dislikes sharing the details of what happened to within those five years, the strain and struggle she went through shows clearly in her grey eyes.

*Fears: Experiencing a second Calamity, being separated from her friends once more, others having power over her, falling in love. .

*Talents: Curative Spells, Alchemy, Dancing, Singing, Using words to get her way, Daggers, Short-Swords.

*Likes: Dance, Music, Men, Wine, Clothes, Jewels, Interested in most forms of magic, Strawberries.

*Dislikes: Womanizers, Loose Women, Magitech Technology (Too complicated for her), Miqo'te due to their natural beauty, Being Outsmarted.

*Voice: Usually gentle and serene, unless upset in which it can be fierce, sultry, and mischievous.

*Fighting Style: While Seohyun isn't quick to jump into violence, it doesn't mean she doesn't know how to take care of herself. Once the Damsel in Distress, the calamity forced her to change. The last few years were not kind on her, and thus she was forced to learn how to take care of herself. Seohyun has learned to use her agility, acrobatics, and flexibility and meld it with her talents with short-swords, scalpels, and daggers. Just looking at Seohyun, it's easy to tell she isn't someone who is boasting with natural strength and thus relies on her speed in battle. In and battle, Seohyun only has one love; Conjury. Due to years of training, Seohyun has learned the arts of conjury and has become a talented healer. Preferring to stay in the back-line during the heat of battle so that she may enchant her friends with magical barriers of protection, earth, or bless them with her gifts of healing. But Seohyun has several down-falls in battle, her build is extremely slim and delicate, she is easily injured and lacks endurance. If grappled or held she can be easily subdued by a larger enemy. Because of these downfalls she tries to avoid combat and instead she prefers to outsmart her opponents using wit and manipulation in order to give them a hassle. Trying to cause tension among their ranks so that they'd fight amongst each other and forget about her as the target. Her real weapon is not a sword, or dangerous explosive magic. Instead, it's charm, cunning, and gil.

= Traits =

----

==== (Strengths) ====

'''Conjury''': A natural when it comes to the art of healing magic. Seohyun has focused most of her studies around this, and upon escaping the Manor she eventually traveled to the Stillglade Fane in order to further her studies in conjury so that she may safely and correctly use healing magic. Unfortunately, the war and the calamity cut her studies short. Having only studied up to apprentice level, she then felt confident enough to learn on her own once the war was over. She now continues to study in the safety of the manor library. Unfortunately, she is no master and there is still much for her to learn.

'''Silver-Tongue''': Born and raised as a noble in Ul'dah has taught Seohyun how to use her words in order to get out of a sticky situation. Her Ul'dahn roots make her good at haggling, bartering, bluffing and general persuasion. Seohyun believes herself to be cunning enough to get out of trouble. She has no trouble adding a little charm, and accentuating her female given gifts to give herself an upper-edge. Only thing more dangerous than a sword is a pretty woman's smile.

'''Book Smart''': Noble roots allowed her to pay for a good education. Because of this she can read, write, do math, and has decent problem-solving skills. But more importantly, her studies have given her a decent history and lore of the world. But there is still much she'd like to discover. She's also a decent a tactician, thanks to problem-solving skills she can attempt to access a situation and find the best route of action. Unfortunately though, some of her information on the world may be out-dated, as she only knows what she has seen in books and has yet to see much of the world for her own eyes.

'''Dance and Song''': Seohyun's father enliisted Seohyun in dance and musical lessons when she was just a child in order to keep her busy. It served as good exercise and kept her mind sharp. The musical training consisted of vocal lessons, harps, and pianos. While her dancing training ranged from contemporary, samba, tribal, belly dancing, ballet, and liturgical. Seohyun puts her dance training to use in combat as well, becoming flexible and agile to avoid her foes attack.

==== (Weaknesses) ====

'''Thaumaturgy''': Thaumaturgy and Black Magic do not come easily to Seohyun. Having only tried this once under supervision. She accidentally set her clothing on fire and lost control. Since then, Seohyun has been too scared to dabble in this and up-right refuses to. Believing that her only calling is with healing, not destroying.

'''Frail''': Seohyun won't be seen anywhere near the front of a fight. While she may be agile and quick thanks to her dance training. She knows she's far more useful in the back where she can focus on creating barriers of protecting and sending waves of healing to her allies. Her physical strength is highly lacking due to her lithe frame, and she's untrained with large weapons such as spears, longswords, and axes... that's if she can even pick them up. Instead, the young heiress highly prefers going into combat with a dagger.

'''Cold''': Depending on who the person is, she may come off cold. Afraid of letting someone too close to her heart, she may come off icy and off-putting in order to send them off. Though deep-down she's soft and warm, but finds this to be a weakness that she shouldn't let someone take advantage of. Because of this, Seohyun has missed out on chances for love but believes she's better off not giving her heart to someone who will merely break it one day in the future, it's inevitable (or so she thinks.)

= History =

----

'''Past''': Born and raised as the only daughter of a wealthy family from Ul'dah, Seohyun was lucky enough to be showered in wealth and favor. Her father came down from a long line of jewel traders, who now had their own company in Ul'dah. Her mother, a conjurer from Gridania who fell in love with not only her father, but the gil in his possession.

Seohyun got whatever she wanted as a child, except for freedom. During her upbringing, Seohyun was taught how entertain, and have proper etiquette like most young noble women. She accompanied her parents in political parties, dinners, and balls. Watching how the upper-class scene in Ul'dah worked, she learned that everyone lied, everyone was fake to each other, and if you wanted to be liked you had to say what people wanted to hear. But it didn't take her long to learn that this isn't the kind of life she wanted to live.

At adulthood, her biological mother died of a terminal illness and her father was quick to remarry. Instead, this time he married a young Ul'dah songstress that wasn't much older than Seohyun. Her new "step-mother" was enchantingly beautiful, with a divine voice. The way she controlled her father, and the men around her made Seohyun itch with jealousy, and yearn to be like her. She came to hate this woman, not only because she was trying to take her mothers place, but because of the large amount of jealousy she harbored. Not being able to see her father with this woman, and refusing to remain a prized caged bird. Seohyun decided to gather her things, and make an escape.

A year later, Seohyun found herself in Gridania, where her biological mother was born. Here, she decided to study the art of conjury in hopes to practice her natural talent for healing magic. Things here were dull, and quiet. She wanted a purpose, adventure, and excitement but she knew all those things came at the price. The price of risking your life. It was then, she decided that she'd take up arms and help fight against the upcoming threats and while also gaining enough riches to surpass that of her fathers. Once her goal was complete, she'd return to Ul'dah once again and flaunt her success.

But things didn't go that way she planned at all. Sent to Limsa Lominsa by the Stillglade in order to help treat the injured as their nations attempt to fight the Imperials. Seohyun has had a hard time adjusting into the brutal atmosphere in Limsa, and was confused by the behavior the people there display. It was there she met her closest friends. One of importance being Reta Suri, who taught her how to survive, to be strong. More importantly, Reta was a symbol of strength to Seohyun. There she also ran into Navei Asue, who was hiding from Reta and his other previous allies. The man gave Seohyun advice that she would keep with her forever, and giving her the fire to continue to strive for a better future.

Once becoming adjusted to Limsa, she found her life to be blissful but there was a constant reminder in the sky that danger was looming over them. The danger took form of a red moon called Dalamud. It was wishful thinking to assume that catastrophe wouldn't hit, and things would work out for the best. As soon as the three grand companies joined together and gathered the forces the war began and Seo took her place as a medic back in the camp, working on the wounded that were pulled out from the heated battle. War was like nothing she had read about in her studies, there was no glory or pride. Men and women turned into animals who craved nothing but bleedshed, adrenaline took over and turned ally and enemy alike into beasts.

Dalamud showed its true purpose, and she would never forget the sight of the creature that roared and laid down havoc onto all she knew. Within a blink of an eye, everything was gone.

= A Realm Reborn =

----

Five years has past since the Calamity. Now twenty-four years old, Seohyun has grown into a fine young woman who was forced to grow up faster than she would have liked to. Contrary to her plans, Seohyun returned to Ul'dah empty handed, but wealth and success was no longer important to her after having seen the pain that the Calamity brought to the people around her. Upon returning to House Iyasu, and having learned of her fathers death within the Calamity. Her uncle is currently the head of the house until Seohyun is to be wed. Not wanting to lose his place in power once more, and this time to a young woman, he attempts to have Seohyun assassinated several times. But thanks to her cunning, she manages to escape the hands of death. Being forced to live in a home with someone who wants her death, she decides to go on vacation for a short time and plan a route of action. She knew there was a man that could help her, a man she relied on many times in the past. Gerik Aston.

Seohyun still struggling with the dark things she experienced when the world was at it's lowest point but she goes on with life trying to hide it with a innocent facade and a fake ditzy smile. Going on day by day pretending to be the airheaded heiress of the Iyasu fortune. Seohyun has also reconnected with Reta, having found her during vacation in Costa Del Sol. Seohyun offered her a place to stay in the Iyasu estate until Reta can come back onto her feet again. Meanwhile, still haunted by her helplessness during the war and having been left alone, Seohyun works on her application to join the Arcanist Guild to better learn how to defend herself, and never have to rely on anyone else again. (More to come as roleplay goes on.)

= Notable Relations =

----

'''[[Gerik Aston]]''': One of her first friends since she escaped Ul'dah. The two have grown extremely close now that it's rumored that they may be forced into an arranged marriage by their noble houses. But due to his sexuality and having no interest in women, the two seem to act more like siblings and best friends rather than soon to be lovers.

'''Reiry Nitrrah''': A woman she met at a masquerade ball. Reiry was the first friend she's made outside of Ul'dah, and thus holds a special place in her heart. Seohyun hasn't seen Reiry ever since before the battle and assumes she was taken by the Calamity.

'''[[Reta Suri]]''': A tough Miqo'te woman that Seohyun met in Limsa. She yearns to be as honest and as strong as Reta is, and finds her to be a inspiration. Despite her tough attitude, men still seem to flock to her which makes Seohyun awe. The two have become best friends, and Seohyun sees Reta as an older sister and an example of what she wishes to be like in the future.

'''[[Navei Asue]]''': A man she continuously ran into over and over again. The man was on the run from something and despite the obvious emotional burdens he carried, he always tried to steer Seohyun on the right path with powerful and wise advice. Thanks to this, Seohyun views him as an older brother figure in her life. Having recently reunited with him, he crafted her the Coral Sword she always keeps by her side and named it the "Heart-Breaker". Given to her so he may protect her despite not being at her side. Seohyun visits him often to help treat his injuries and work on restoring his memories.

'''[[Lyriah Karnelle]]''': A woman she met through her best friend, Reta. Seohyun admires Lyriah's sass, bluntless, and undoubted skills with a spear. Though they've only met here and there, Seohyun feels as though the woman is undoubtedly trust worthy if she's a friend of Reta's.

'''[[Varus Adelric Rosenthal]]''': Her mentor in the magical arts. Varus and Seohyun have come to an arrangement. In exchange for jewels in which her families corporation can supply. Varus is willing to teach Seohyun a trick he has learned. Storing aether into gems.

'''[[Galvadan Edgecrusher]]''': Seohyun knows Galvadan as the man who is teaching her and Navei in the arts of battle. While he's a huge flirt, Seohyun tends to see him more as a father figure.

'''[[Dallion Venzale]]''': A friend of her previous lover K'yasha, she befriended him before her and K'yasha became a couple and appreciates the fact that Dallion is someone that can watch the hot-tempered miqo'te when she's unable to. Despite not knowing much of the man, she trusts him and gives him the benefit of the doubt. Only one thing about him bothers her, it's that Dallion asks too many questions. Questions that she's not yet ready to answer. Despite no longer being with K'yasha. She keeps contact with Dallion, remaining to be his friend and be there for him whenever he is in need.

'''[[E'rinha Tia]]''': E'rinha is Seohyun's boyfriend and new found ally. The two recently became partners, mixing business with pleasure. But the two still manage to work together, remaining professional when needed. Though at first, the two were skeptical because of their culture differences, they've now decided to become exclusive to one another and give it a shot.

==== (Strengths) ====

'''Conjury''': A natural when it comes to the art of healing magic. Seohyun has focused most of her studies around this, and upon escaping the Manor she eventually traveled to the Stillglade Fane in order to further her studies in conjury so that she may safely and correctly use healing magic.

'''Thaumaturgy''': Thaumaturgy and Black Magic do not come easily to Seohyun. Having only tried this once under supervision. She accidentally set her clothing on fire and lost control. Since then, Seohyun has been too scared to dabble in this and up-right refuses to. Believing that her only calling is with healing, not destroying.

'''Naive''': Having been extremely sheltered as a child, Seohyun has only seen little of the world during her adventures. She does not understand some basic things, and lacks common-street smarts. Because of this, she usually finds herself talking to shady figures, or easily hands her gil over to people she probably shouldn't. Because of her lack of time in the streets, she's easily gullible on these subjects.

'''Frail''': Seohyun won't be seen anywhere near the front of a fight. While she may be agile and quick thanks to her dance training. She knows she's far more useful in the back where she can focus on creating barriers of protecting and sending waves of healing to her allies.

Seohyun has had a hard time adjusting into the brutal atmosphere in Limsa, and was confused by the behavior the people there display. It was there she met her closest friends. One of importance being Reta Suri, who taught her how to survive, to be strong. More importantly, Reta was a symbol of strength to Seohyun. There she also ran into Navei Asue, who was hiding from Reta and his other previous allies. The man gave Seohyun advice that she would keep with her forever, and giving her the fire to continue to strive for a better future.

Once becoming adjusted to Limsa, she found her life to be blissful but there was a constant reminder in the sky that danger was looming over them. The danger took form of a red moon called Dalamud. It was wishful thinking to assume that catastrophe wouldn't hit, and things would work out for the best. As soon as the three grand companies joined together and gathered the forces the war began and Seo took her place as a medic back in the camp, working on the wounded that were pulled out from the heated battle. War was like nothing she had read about in her studies, there was no glory or pride. Men and women turned into animals who craved nothing but bleedshed, adrenaline took over and turned ally and enemy alike into beasts.

Dalamud showed its true purpose, and she would never forget the sight of the creature that roared and laid down havoc onto all she knew. Within a blink of an eye, everything was gone.

----

Five years has past since the Calamity. Now twenty-four years old, Seohyun has grown into a fine young woman who was forced to grow up faster than she would have liked to. Contrary to her plans, Seohyun returned to Ul'dah empty handed, but wealth and success was no longer important to her after having seen the pain that the Calamity brought to the people around her. Upon returning to House Iyasu, and having learned of her fathers death within the Calamity. Her uncle is currently the head of the house until Seohyun is to be wed. Not wanting to lose his place in power once more, and this time to a young woman, he attempts to have Seohyun assassinated several times. But thanks to her cunning, she manages to escape the hands of death. Being forced to live in a home with someone who wants her death, she decides to go on vacation for a short time and plan a route of action. She knew there was a man that could help her, a man she relied on many times in the past. Gerik Aston.

Seohyun still struggling with the dark things she experienced when the world was at it's lowest point but she goes on with life trying to hide it with a innocent facade and a fake ditzy smile. Going on day by day pretending to be the airheaded heiress of the Iyasu fortune. Seohyun has also reconnected with Reta, having found her during vacation in Costa Del Sol. Seohyun offered her a place to stay in the Iyasu estate until Reta can come back onto her feet again. Meanwhile, still haunted by her helplessness during the war and having been left alone, Seohyun works on her application to join the Arcanist Guild to better learn how to defend herself, and never have to rely on anyone else again. (More to come as roleplay goes on.)

= Notable Relations =

----

'''Gerik Aston''': One of her first friends since she escaped Ul'dah. The two have grown extremely close now that it's rumored that they may be forced into an arranged marriage by their noble houses. But due to his sexuality and having no interest in women, the two seem to act more like siblings and best friends rather than soon to be lovers.

'''Reiry Nitrrah''': A woman she met at a masquerade ball. Reiry was the first friend she's made outside of Ul'dah, and thus holds a special place in her heart. Seohyun hasn't seen Reiry ever since before the battle and assumes she was taken by the Calamity.

'''Reta Suri''': A tough Miqo'te woman that Seohyun met in Limsa. She yearns to be as honest and as strong as Reta is, and finds her to be a inspiration. Despite her tough attitude, men still seem to flock to her which makes Seohyun awe. The two have become best friends, and Seohyun sees Reta as an older sister and an example of what she wishes to be like in the future.

'''Ship''': A recent friend and her current sellsword. Seohyun admires Ship dearly despite the small time they've currently spent together. She finds his roguish personality and sarcastic mouth extremely entertaining. More importantly, Seohyun finds a sense of security and safeness at his side, which is rare.

'''Navei Asue''': A man she continuously ran into over and over again. The man was on the run from something and despite the obvious emotional burdens he carried, he always tried to steer Seohyun on the right path with powerful and wise advice. Thanks to this, Seohyun views him as an older brother figure in her life. Having recently reunited with him, he crafted her the Coral Sword she always keeps by her side and named it the "Heart-Breaker". Given to her so he may protect her despite not being at her side. Seohyun visits him often to help treat his injuries and work on restoring his memories.

'''Soren Iyasu''': Her cousin and another noble of House Iyasu. The two weren't too close until recently due to his quiet nature that never matched his rugged and manly features.

'''Galvadan Edgecrusher''': Seohyun knows Galvadan as the man who is teaching her and Navei in the arts of battle. While he's a huge flirt, Seohyun tends to see him more as a father figure.

== Biographical ==

*'''Pronunciation''': Say-Oh-Hyun Ee-Yah-Suu
*'''Nicknames:''' Seo, Lilly, Snow, Dove.
*'''Place of birth:''' Ul'dah

*'''Height:''' 5'6

*'''Weight: '''115

*'''Body:''' Curvy

*'''Hair:''' Platinum

*'''Eyes:''' Light Grey

*'''Skin:''' Caramel Tan

*'''Clothing:''' Varies from expensive gowns, to clothes that reveal her long and slender legs.

*'''Other:''' Within the last five years Seohyun has become youthful beauty, but only because she spends much of her day taking care of herself. She of all people knows it takes a lot of time, and even pain, to take care of her feminine charms. Especially since looks can sometimes take you places that your personality or sword cannot. Her large grey eyes resemble a full-moon in the winter, waxing and wading. While beautiful, the eyes now show a hint of the struggle she's been forced to endure thanks to the Calamity. Her previously rare aura of gentle innocence and naivety due to her sheltered upbringing, has been replaced with one of resolve and survival. Her hair now drapes down to the bottom of her shoulder blades, cleanly kept and groomed as expected of an Ul'dahn woman. Her body frame looks frail and not fit for a battle-field, but her small and light frame allows her to be agile. When it comes to robing herself, she dresses herself in current fashions, favoring light colored clothing in order to bring out her tanned skin and amethyst eyes. She is usually seen wearing tight tailored clothing that clings to her body to show off her curves but makes sure not to reveal too much in order to keep something to imagination. Her eyes are truly the mirror to her soul. Usually all her emotions can be seen through the,, especially when she's mad. When Seohyun drops her "innocent" facade, and reveals her true and darker nature her face changes from the innocent damsel in distress to a much more mischievous and scheming tigress. Though the latter is usually only shown to her enemies or when extremely angered.

== Personality ==

Some would have once consider her personality her downfall. Seohyun can sometimes be extremely naive about the real world around her due to her sheltered upbringing. Whatever she knows about the world has been learned through her studies and whatever she could find in books. Leaving her not to understand some of the most basic things when she finds herself out in the "real world", and not having common street-smarts. But living amongst nobles has made her sharp, witty, and resourceful. It's no surprise that in the world of noble politics that you have to learn to swim with sharks. Seohyun knows how to use words to put herself in a beneficial situation, and get herself out of trouble. She is cunning, and sometimes even manipulative if she needs to be. If she finds that she can't outsmart someone, she'll tend to use money as another option. She uses her finances in order to reach her goals and to bring her places that looks and wit cannot. But more lays beneath the young lady that others tend to miss. Despite sometimes being made out to be a vain,shallow, and spoiled. She can be extremely caring and nurturing to her friends. She also feels as though it's her job to keep those around her entertained if things are going dull. Unlike most native Ul'dahn, if someone is to win her trust, she'll be extremely loyal (Sometimes to a fault) and be at their side even when their wrong. Her loyalty shows no bounds, she's even willing to follow someone she cares for deeply into a near death experience without questions asked. Because of this, she tries to not become attached to people, knowing that someone can easily take advantage of her loyalty. Though the Calamity has been rough on the young Heiress, having the people she depended on most disappear from the battle-field, she was left alone and forced to fend for herself. Though she dislikes sharing the details of what happened to within those five years, the strain and struggle she went through shows clearly in her grey eyes.

*Fears: Experiencing a second Calamity, being separated from her friends once more, others having power over her, falling in love. .

*Talents: Curative Spells, Alchemy, Dancing, Singing, Using words to get her way.

*Likes: Dance, Music, Men, Wine, Clothes, Jewels, Interested in most forms of magic, Strawberries.

*Dislikes: Womanizers, Snooty Rich People, Magitech Technology (Too complicated for her) , sometimes jealous of female Miqo'te due to their natural beauty.

*Voice: Usually gentle, sweet, innocent and soft. When she reveals her dark streak, it tends to get sultry, husky, and seductive.

*Mind: Booksmart, but lacks street-smarts.

*Fighting Style: Seohyun is extremely frail and thus won't be found anywhere near the front line of a battle. Instead, she relies on her allies for protection, while supporting them with her healing magic, enchanting them with magical barriers of protection or stone, and weaving the elements to send magical barrages at her foes. If forced into close range combat, she keeps dirk hidden in a shin sheath under her boots. Unfortunately she's good with a blade at all, but she knows that she must stab with the sharp end. Her frail dancers build makes her to be agile, but she is far from a battle-maiden. Thus, she prefers to outsmart her opponents using wit and manipulation in order to give them a hassle or subdue them. Trying to cause tension among their ranks so that they'd fight amongst each other and forget about her as the target. Her real weapon is not a sword, or dangerous explosive magic. Instead, it's charm, cunning, and gil.

= Traits =

----

==== (Strengths) ====

'''Conjury''': A natural when it comes to the art of healing magic. Seohyun has focused most of her studies around this, and upon escaping the Manor she eventually traveled to the Stillglade Fane in order to further her studies in conjury so that she may safely and correctly use healing magic. Unfortunately, the war and the calamity cut her studies short. Having only studied up to apprentice level, she then felt confident enough to learn on her own once the war was over. She now continues to study in the safety of the manor library. Unfortunately, she is no master and there is still much for her to learn.

'''Silver-Tongue''': Born and raised as a noble in Ul'dah has taught Seohyun how to use her words in order to get out of a sticky situation. Her Ul'dahn roots make her good at haggling, bartering, bluffing and general persuasion. Seohyun believes herself to be cunning enough to get out of trouble. She has no trouble adding a little charm, and accentuating her female given gifts to give herself an upper-edge. Only thing more dangerous than a sword is a pretty woman's smile.

'''Book Smart''': Noble roots allowed her to pay for a good education. Because of this she can read, write, do math, and has decent problem-solving skills. But more importantly, her studies have given her a decent history and lore of the world. But there is still much she'd like to discover. She's also a decent a tactician, thanks to problem-solving skills she can attempt to access a situation and find the best route of action. Unfortunately though, some of her information on the world may be out-dated, as she only knows what she has seen in books and has yet to see much of the world for her own eyes.

'''Dance and Song''': Seohyun's father enliisted Seohyun in dance and musical lessons when she was just a child in order to keep her busy. It served as good exercise and kept her mind sharp. The musical training consisted of vocal lessons, harps, and pianos. While her dancing training ranged from contemporary, samba, tribal, belly dancing, ballet, and liturgical. Seohyun puts her dance training to use in combat as well, becoming flexible and agile to avoid her foes attack.

==== (Weaknesses) ====

'''Thaumaturgy''': Thaumaturgy and Black Magic do not come easily to Seohyun. Having only tried this once under supervision. She accidentally set her clothing on fire and lost control. Since then, Seohyun has been too scared to dabble in this and up-right refuses to. Believing that her only calling is with healing, not destroying.

'''Naive''': Having been extremely sheltered as a child, Seohyun has only seen little of the world during her adventures. She does not understand some basic things, and lacks common-street smarts. Because of this, she usually finds herself talking to shady figures, or easily hands her gil over to people she probably shouldn't. Because of her lack of time in the streets, she's easily gullible on these subjects.

'''Frail''': Seohyun won't be seen anywhere near the front of a fight. While she may be agile and quick thanks to her dance training. She knows she's far more useful in the back where she can focus on creating barriers of protecting and sending waves of healing to her allies. Her physical strength is highly lacking due to her lithe frame, and she's untrained with large weapons such as spears, longswords, and axes... that's if she can even pick them up. Instead, the young heiress highly prefers going into combat with a dagger.

'''Cold''': Depending on who the person is, she may come off cold. Afraid of letting someone too close to her heart, she may come off icy and off-putting in order to send them off. Though deep-down she's soft and warm, but finds this to be a weakness that she shouldn't let someone take advantage of. Because of this, Seohyun has missed out on chances for love but believes she's better off not giving her heart to someone who will merely break it one day in the future, it's inevitable (or so she thinks.)

= History =

----

'''Past''': Born and raised as the only daughter of a wealthy family from Ul'dah, Seohyun was lucky enough to be showered in wealth and favor. Her father came down from a long line of jewel traders, who now had their own company in Ul'dah. Her mother, a conjurer from Gridania who fell in love with not only her father, but the gil in his possession.

Seohyun got whatever she wanted as a child, except for freedom. During her upbringing, Seohyun was taught how entertain, and have proper etiquette like most young noble women. She accompanied her parents in political parties, dinners, and balls. Watching how the upper-class scene in Ul'dah worked, she learned that everyone lied, everyone was fake to each other, and if you wanted to be liked you had to say what people wanted to hear. But it didn't take her long to learn that this isn't the kind of life she wanted to live.

At adulthood, her biological mother died of a terminal illness and her father was quick to remarry. Instead, this time he married a young Ul'dah songstress that wasn't much older than Seohyun. Her new "step-mother" was enchantingly beautiful, with a divine voice. The way she controlled her father, and the men around her made Seohyun itch with jealousy, and yearn to be like her. She came to hate this woman, not only because she was trying to take her mothers place, but because of the large amount of jealousy she harbored. Not being able to see her father with this woman, and refusing to remain a prized caged bird. Seohyun decided to gather her things, and make an escape.

A year later, Seohyun found herself in Gridania, where her biological mother was born. Here, she decided to study the art of conjury in hopes to practice her natural talent for healing magic. Things here were dull, and quiet. She wanted a purpose, adventure, and excitement but she knew all those things came at the price. The price of risking your life. It was then, she decided that she'd take up arms and help fight against the upcoming threats and while also gaining enough riches to surpass that of her fathers. Once her goal was complete, she'd return to Ul'dah once again and flaunt her success.

But things didn't go that way she planned at all. Sent to Limsa Lominsa by the Stillglade in order to help treat the injured as their nations attempt to fight the Imperials. Seohyun has had a hard time adjusting into the brutal atmosphere in Limsa, and was confused by the behavior the people there display. It was there she met her closest friends. One of importance being Reta Suri, who taught her how to survive, to be strong. More importantly, Reta was a symbol of strength to Seohyun. There she also ran into Navei Asue, who was hiding from Reta and his other previous allies. The man gave Seohyun advice that she would keep with her forever, and giving her the fire to continue to strive for a better future.

Once becoming adjusted to Limsa, she found her life to be blissful but there was a constant reminder in the sky that danger was looming over them. The danger took form of a red moon called Dalamud. It was wishful thinking to assume that catastrophe wouldn't hit, and things would work out for the best. As soon as the three grand companies joined together and gathered the forces the war began and Seo took her place as a medic back in the camp, working on the wounded that were pulled out from the heated battle. War was like nothing she had read about in her studies, there was no glory or pride. Men and women turned into animals who craved nothing but bleedshed, adrenaline took over and turned ally and enemy alike into beasts.

Dalamud showed its true purpose, and she would never forget the sight of the creature that roared and laid down havoc onto all she knew. Within a blink of an eye, everything was gone.

= Notable Relations =

----

'''Gerik Aston''': One of her first friends since she escaped Ul'dah. She teases him playfully, and has even forced him to be her trophy boyfriend in order to make her child-hood friends die with jealousy. Though she's oblivious of his sexuality and thinks he has a crush on her.

'''Reiry Nitrrah''': A woman she met at a masquerade ball. Reiry was the first friend she's made outside of Ul'dah, and thus holds a special place in her heart. Seohyun hasn't seen Reiry ever since before the battle and assumes she was taken by the Calamity.

'''Reta Suri''': A tough Miqo'te woman that Seohyun met in Limsa. She yearns to be as honest and as strong as Reta is, and finds her to be a inspiration. Despite her tough attitude, men still seem to flock to her which makes Seohyun awe. Despite only spending a short time around her, she already sees Reta as a big-sister.

'''Navei Asue''': A man she continuously ran into over and over again. The man was on the run from something and despite the obvious emotional burdens he carried, he always tried to steer Seohyun on the right path with powerful and wise advice. Thanks to this, Seohyun views him as an older brother figure in her life. Not having seen him in five years, she prays he wasn't taken by the war or the Calamity.

'''Ryuki Minami ''': A male miqo'te that saved her from a pack of beastmen. Only able to take a few on her own, she was overpowered by their numbers until Ryuki jumped into the fray and supported her in battle. Guilty that the man received several wounds from the battle, she took him into her care and treated his injuries. Despite the two not seeing each other around much, she trusts this man blindly knowing that he'd lay his life down for her and vice versa.

'''Soren Iyasu''': Her cousin and another noble of House Iyasu. The two weren't too close until recently due to his quiet nature that never matched his rugged and manly features.

The musical training consisted of vocal lessons, harps, and pianos. While her dancing training ranged from contemporary, samba, tribal, belly dancing, ballet, and liturgical. Seohyun puts her dance training to use in combat as well, becoming flexible and agile to avoid her foes attack.

==== (Weaknesses) ====

'''Destructive Magic''': Thaumaturgy and Black Magic do not come easily to Seohyun. Having only tried this once under supervision. She accidentally set her clothing on fire and lost control. Since then, Seohyun has been too scared to dabble in this and up-right refuses to. Believing that her only calling is with healing, not destroying.

'''Naive''': Having been extremely sheltered as a child, Seohyun has only seen little of the world during her adventures. She does not understand some basic things, and lacks common-street smarts. Because of this, she usually finds herself talking to shady figures, or easily hands her gil over to people she probably shouldn't. Because of her lack of time in the streets, she's easily gullible on these subjects.

'''Frail''': Seohyun won't be seen anywhere near the front of a fight. While she may be agile and quick thanks to her dance training. She knows she's far more useful in the back where she can focus on creating barriers of protecting and sending waves of healing to her allies. Her physical strength is highly lacking due to her lithe frame, and she's untrained with large weapons such as spears, longswords, and axes... that's if she can even pick them up. Instead, she prefers daggers, grimoires, and wands.

'''Cold''': Depending on who the person is, she may come off cold. Afraid of letting someone too close to her heart, she may come off icy and off-putting in order to send them off. Though deep-down she's soft and warm, but finds this to be a weakness that she shouldn't let someone take advantage of. Because of this, Seohyun has missed out on chances for love but believes she's better off not giving her heart to someone who will merely break it one day in the future, it's inevitable (or so she thinks.)

= History =

----

'''Past''': Born and raised as the only daughter of a wealthy family from Ul'dah, Seohyun was lucky enough to be showered in wealth and favor. Her father came down from a long line of jewel traders, who now had their own company in Ul'dah. Her mother, a conjurer from Gridania who fell in love with not only her father, but the gil in his possession.

Seohyun got whatever she wanted as a child, except for freedom. During her upbringing, Seohyun was taught how entertain, and have proper etiquette like most young noble women. She accompanied her parents in political parties, dinners, and balls. Watching how the upper-class scene in Ul'dah worked, she learned that everyone lied, everyone was fake to each other, and if you wanted to be liked you had to say what people wanted to hear. But it didn't take her long to learn that this isn't the kind of life she wanted to live.

At adulthood, her biological mother died of a terminal illness and her father was quick to remarry. Instead, this time he married a young Ul'dah songstress that wasn't much older than Seohyun. Her new "step-mother" was enchantingly beautiful, with a divine voice. The way she controlled her father, and the men around her made Seohyun itch with jealousy, and yearn to be like her. She came to hate this woman, not only because she was trying to take her mothers place, but because of the large amount of jealousy she harbored. Not being able to see her father with this woman, and refusing to remain a prized caged bird. Seohyun decided to gather her things, and make an escape.

A year later, Seohyun found herself in Gridania, where her biological mother was born. Here, she decided to study the art of conjury in hopes to practice her natural talent for healing magic. Things here were dull, and quiet. She wanted a purpose, adventure, and excitement but she knew all those things came at the price. The price of risking your life. It was then, she decided that she'd take up arms and help fight against the upcoming threats and while also gaining enough riches to surpass that of her fathers. Once her goal was complete, she'd return to Ul'dah once again and flaunt her success.

But things didn't go that way she planned at all. Sent to Limsa Lominsa by the Stillglade in order to help treat the injured as their nations attempt to fight the Imperials. Seohyun has had a hard time adjusting into the brutal atmosphere in Limsa, and was confused by the behavior the people there display. It was there she met her closest friends. One of importance being Reta Suri, who taught her how to survive, to be strong. More importantly, Reta was a symbol of strength to Seohyun. There she also ran into Navei Asue, who was hiding from Reta and his other previous allies. The man gave Seohyun advice that she would keep with her forever, and giving her the fire to continue to strive for a better future.

Once becoming adjusted to Limsa, she found her life to be blissful but there was a constant reminder in the sky that danger was looming over them. The danger took form of a red moon called Dalamud. It was wishful thinking to assume that catastrophe wouldn't hit, and things would work out for the best. As soon as the three grand companies joined together and gathered the forces the war began and Seo took her place as a medic back in the camp, working on the wounded that were pulled out from the heated battle. War was like nothing she had read about in her studies, there was no glory or pride. Men and women turned into animals who craved nothing but bleedshed, adrenaline took over and turned ally and enemy alike into beasts.

Dalamud showed its true purpose, and she would never forget the sight of the creature that roared and laid down havoc onto all she knew. Within a blink of an eye, everything was gone.

= A Realm Reborn =

----

Five years has past since the Calamity. Now twenty-four years old, Seohyun has grown into a fine young woman who was forced to grow up faster than she would have liked to. Contrary to her plans, Seohyun returned to Ul'dah empty handed, but wealth and success was no longer important to her after having seen the pain that the Calamity brought to the people around her. Upon returning to House Iyasu, and having learned of her fathers death within the Calamity. Her uncle is currently the head of the house until Seohyun is to be wed. Not wanting to lose his place in power once more, and this time to a young woman, he attempts to have Seohyun assassinated several times. But thanks to her cunning, she manages to escape the hands of death. Being forced to live in a home with someone who wants her death, she decides to go on vacation for a short time and plan a route of action. She knew there was a man that could help her, a man she relied on many times in the past. Gerik Aston.

Seohyun still struggling with the dark things she experienced when the world was at it's lowest point but she goes on with life trying to hide it with a innocent facade and a fake ditzy smile. Going on day by day pretending to be the airheaded heiress of the Iyasu fortune. Seohyun has also reconnected with Reta, having found her during vacation in Costa Del Sol. Seohyun offered her a place to stay in the Iyasu estate until Reta can come back onto her feet again. Meanwhile, still haunted by her helplessness during the war and having been left alone, Seohyun works on her application to join the Arcanist Guild to better learn how to defend herself, and never have to rely on anyone else again. (More to come as roleplay goes on.)

= Notable Relations =

----

'''Gerik Aston''': One of her first friends since she escaped Ul'dah. She teases him playfully, and has even forced him to be her trophy boyfriend in order to make her child-hood friends die with jealousy. Though she's oblivious of his sexuality and thinks he has a crush on her.

'''Reiry Nitrrah''': A woman she met at a masquerade ball. Reiry was the first friend she's made outside of Ul'dah, and thus holds a special place in her heart. Seohyun hasn't seen Reiry ever since before the battle and assumes she was taken by the Calamity.

'''Reta Suri''': A tough Miqo'te woman that Seohyun met in Limsa. She yearns to be as honest and as strong as Reta is, and finds her to be a inspiration. Despite her tough attitude, men still seem to flock to her which makes Seohyun awe. Despite only spending a short time around her, she already sees Reta as a big-sister.

'''Navei Asue''': A man she continuously ran into over and over again. The man was on the run from something and despite the obvious emotional burdens he carried, he always tried to steer Seohyun on the right path with powerful and wise advice. Thanks to this, Seohyun views him as an older brother figure in her life. Not having seen him in five years, she prays he wasn't taken by the war or the Calamity.

'''Ryuki Minami ''': A male miqo'te that saved her from a pack of beastmen. Only able to take a few on her own, she was overpowered by their numbers until Ryuki jumped into the fray and supported her in battle. Guilty that the man received several wounds from the battle, she took him into her care and treated his injuries. Despite the two not seeing each other around much, she trusts this man blindly knowing that he'd lay his life down for her and vice versa.

'''Soren Iyasu''': Her cousin and another noble of House Iyasu. The two weren't too close until recently due to his quiet nature that never matched his rugged and manly features.
