==Character==
===General===
'''Summary:'''Born in a small settlement of Keeper of the Moon Miqo'te in the Black Shroud away from the city, Sazhi'to had a relatively simple childhood. His mother was the head Matriarch of the clan, composed of three related family groups, and as her second son he was expected to be just as strong as his brother and sister. On the other hand his father was an Arcanist of some skill, and while one of the more far-wandering males in the area, he held the honor of being the chosen life mate to the Matriarch.

While he wasn't sickly, Sazhi'to was quieter and seemed less physically inclined than either of his siblings had been. It was initially a concern, but at just six years of age one of the other matriarchs discovered that Sazhi'to was already reading, if haltingly, from one of his father's journals. Khot'a was immediately summoned back from his wandering to teach him properly.

He quickly displayed a natural affinity for interracting with Aether, his ability to read and retain information also growing immensely with proper instruction, and by ten he was immersed in every book or scroll he could get his hands on; many of which were in fact "borrowed" by his father from the library in Limsa Lominsa, and meant for students twice his age.

While his father still wandered freely, Sazhi'to was kept within the village due to having "below average" skill with a bow or spear. With the common clashes with the Wood Wailers, he was seen as a liability out in the Shroud.

In his seventeenth summer he was finally able to properly summon forth both aspects of Carbuncle. Satisfied that he could keep on the right path of study, his father obtained the permission of the Matriarchs and brought him along on his next wandering to Limsa Lominsa, taking him to the Arcanists' Guild itself to study alongside other mages first-hand.

Less than two years later however the conflict with the Garlean Empire reached the breaking point. As Eorzea's forces martialed for a final resolution, Sazhi'to and the other young members of the guild were ordered to stay within the city to assist with civilians and maintain order.

His father was killed at the Battle of Carteneau while assisting with the retreat of a pinned down medical team. At the same time the fragments of Dalamud cast off by Bahamut into the Black Shroud all but erased his home, and nearly the entire clan was wiped out.

It was almost two years before he learned that his older sister Mholi had survived, but that revelation came with the shock of learning that she was known and wanted by the Wood Wailers for ongoing acts of aggression. It took all of his ability to finally track her down, not far from the still blackened clearing where they we raised, and the woman he found was not what he had expected.

She called herself Mujuuk instead of Bajhiri and refused to discuss why. Bitter and angry rather than stern and determined, she vociferously accused him of failing his clan by staying away so long, telling him bluntly of every clan member she had buried by herself and those who had gone off to fight, at least dying with fangs bared. If Sazhi'to hadn't been driving himself to sleepless nights alternating with nightmares thinking the same things about himself he might have argued when she turned to vanish back into the. Instead he kept his silence and dejectedly returned to Limsa Lominsa.

Despite this, or perhaps because of it, he reaffirmed his determination to help others whenever, wherever, and however he can. In this vein he has since taken to learning about as many different skills and subjects as possible, from fishing to carpentry. Sometimes he still becomes so absorbed in one thing or another that he will go without rest for days at a time. Those who express concern over this behavior are simply waved off and assured that his apparent disdain for sleep cames from a desire to learn more to help more.

He has since joined the Ivory Tower, a company of wizards, and friends, who share similar interests in advancing their studies and helping others. There he met his now life-mate K'hane Tariq, and more recently his sleep has been thrown off by their young daughter Nuali, rather than any nightmares.

'''L'yhta Mahre''' (LEE-tah MAH-ray), formally known as '''Yhta of the Vipers, sired by L'mahre Nunh''' and commonly as '''Lyta''' (lie-TUH), is a miqo'te Seeker of the Sun who nominally lives in Limsa Lominsa. She was once the Voice of [http://www.themysterium.org Mysterium], but is now just one of its Masters. Her formal address in the Ivory Tower is Wizard Yhta Mahre, Master of Mysterium, Thaumaturge, Conjurer, Arcanist; by Aether illuminated, Seeker of Destinies.

==Appearance==
L'yhta is a tall (approximately 5' 5") miqo'te female with dark skin and long dark purple hair that she keeps tied back out of her face. She has bright, almost iridescent heliotrope eyes with the usual slits of her clan. Her tail is quite long for a Seeker of the Sun and, like her ears, often expressive. Her build is thin and gangly; she's not particularly shapely, though she has lately put on a bit of wiry muscle. Her face has the markings inherent to some of the Seekers of the Sun -- three on each side in an tiger stripe pattern. L'yhta's voice is an untrained [[Wikipedia:Mezzo-soprano#Dramatic|dramatic mezzo-soprano]], fairly low for someone her size. She doesn't exhibit much of an accent, if any, when she speaks, except perhaps when she's particularly inebriated.

As of late, L'yhta's begun dying her hair and tail regularly, as well as changing her hair style seemingly at a whim. This began after she took a "sabbatical" to Greencliff around the time of the Starlight Celebration in the 5th year of the Seventh Umbral Era; exactly why that prompted her to take such a whimsical, impulsive approach to her hair has yet to be disclosed.

==History==
[[Image:L'yhta Mahre by Emadra.JPG|300px|left|thumb|L'yhta, envisioned by '''Emadra''']]
In western La Noscea resides the small fishing village of Greencliff, named for its high cliffs and its relatively dense, yet small, nearby forest. The village was originally home to a small population of Sea Wolves, but they found themselves outnumbered by an influx of Seekers of the Sun approximately 95 years ago when L'sharhl Nunh established the area as hunting grounds for the Viper tribe and assumed the title of nunh there. As the miqo'te made their homes in the area and largely shifted to an agricultural and aquacultural lifestyle, the Roegadyn population slowly decreased, eventually leaving the village almost entirely to the newcomers. It was into this settled branch of the Vipers that L'yhta was born, the fifth child of L'arhi Xahlo and L'mahre Nunh.

L'yhta's early life was unremarkable; she had no especially outstanding characteristics other than a quick wit and a keen mind -- neither of which were particularly impressive, much less useful, in a village used to eking out a living through fishing and the occasional felling of lumber to fuel [[Limsa Lominsa]]'s demand for ships. As far as the other miqo'te of Greencliff were concerned, what was remarkable about L'yhta was exactly how unremarkable she was. The tall girl proved to be passable with an axe, vaguely competent with the spear, moderately capable of catching fish, and not especially attractive, either. This surprised those who expected great things of the children of L'mahre Nunh and L'arhi Xahlo. L'mahre was considered by most to be one of the branch's greater nunh; his physical strength and virility were highly praised. L'arhi, for her part, had borne seven children, an impressive number by any standards. The only son she bore him, L'rhilo Tia, was held as a pure example of miqo'te excellence. With gleaming golden hair, dashing features, lightning reflexes, and sparkling silver and gold heterochromic eyes, he was already beginning to turn the heads of the women of the tribe and sparking rumours that he'd prove to be the next nunh. L'yhta's sisters were equally fine specimens: tall, beautiful, and possessed of a nearly regal grace. By contrast, the lanky, average L'yhta was quite a disappointment. Nevertheless, L'arhi remained supportive, hoping that her fifth child would find ''something'' at which she'd be more than just minimally competent, even if that were simply bearing children to the nunh. For her part, the often isolated L'yhta spent a great deal of time staring out into the stars and across the sea and wondering if her destiny were always to be so painfully mundane.

Then, the Calamity changed everything. Bahamut's fire scourged the land, and amidst the chaos, L'mahre Nunh was struck by a shower of superheated shards of rock. While he survived, he lost a leg and an arm in the attack. Unwilling to see someone else lay his father low, L'rhilo Tia challenged him for the position of nunh. The fight was short; it took mere moments for the son to defeat the father. The tribe looked on as L'rhilo, hovering over the fallen nunh, exchanged brief whispered words with him -- then tore out his throat. To this day, no one knows exactly what L'mahre said to L'rhilo; some suggest the father asked his son to end his suffering, while others whisper that the once nunh begged for mercy and L'rhilo killed him anyway. Regardless of the truth, L'rhilo Tia became L'rhilo Nunh that day, and he celebrated the victory that night with some of the most beautiful women of the tribe.

It wasn't long after he ascended to the position of nunh that L'rhilo came to L'yhta to ask her to his bed. While it wasn't unexpected that he'd attempt to carry on the impressive lineage of his mother and father, what surprised everyone (especially L'yhta) was when he passed over her elder sisters in favor of a lanky 16 year old. L'yhta doesn't discuss what exactly he said to her, other than that he made it abundantly clear that he expected her to do her duty to the tribe and bear his children. What the whole tribe knows is what happened next: when the sun rose the next day, L'yhta was gone.

To this day, L'yhta isn't entirely sure what prompted her to flee her fate. She would like to believe it was her wanderlust and curiosity pulling her away from a fettered life, but it was more likely due to the arrogant, lascivious, and forceful insistence of someone she'd previously trusted and saw as a friend. Rather than acquiesce, L'yhta collected some food, a spare set of clothes, and some small carved shells and pearls given to her by her mother, then headed south towards the only landmark she knew: a large lighthouse. It was there that she was able to trade the pearls for gil, then use the gil to travel to Limsa Lominsa to start a new life.

L'yhta was naturally overwhelmed by Limsa Lominsa when she first arrived. What struck her most of all was the way the miqo'te there acted. They were overly cheerful, extremely outgoing, and entirely willing to use their bodies to their advantage (and sometimes profit). Unwilling to take up any of the "trades" that were not so gently suggested to her by the city's more salty inhabitants, L'yhta instead wandered the city, using the last of her gil to secure lodging while she tried to figure out her next step. It was during one of these walks that she quite literally ran into Robert Fletcher, an antiquated hyur with piercing green eyes and an explosion of white hair bursting from his head. Little did she know that this man was a powerful Thaumaturge and also the Voice of the Wizards' Choir; she also wasn't aware that he'd been watching her, intrigued by a Seeker of the Sun without a purpose but a gift for the arcane. Robert took her in and introduced her to the three disciplines of magic, and was pleased to see her quickly learn to command her own Aether as well as to call upon that of the land. For her part, L'yhta was both shocked and ecstatic that she'd finally found something that she wouldn't make a fool of herself at -- something where her skill would live up to the name of her father. As part of her training, Robert introduced her to the rituals of the Choir and inducted her as his apprentice.

For the next four years, L'yhta lived with Robert, who she viewed as a quirky grandfather, and trained under him and the five other superannuated Chairs of the Choir. She came to love her strange new family of aging spellcasters, and they, while they could be annoyed by her youthful enthusiasm, cared for her as an adpoted child. Sadly, this life wouldn't last for long. In year 5 of the seventh umbral era, the Choir was requested by the Foreign Levy to help defend the city against a Sahagin assault. Ultimately, the Maelstrom won the battle, but at a terrible cost -- all of the Choir's members were struck down save L'yhta, who Robert insisted stay behind the lines. When she rushed to her mentor's side, his last words stuck in her memory: ''"Sing with a new Choir, young Voice."''

Since she's continued her training within the various magical guilds of Eorzea, L'yhta has discovered that she possesses the Echo. She theorizes this might be why she has such a faculty for channeling Aether, though more importantly, she's ''quite sure'' this means that she has a great destiny she needs to fulfill.

==Personality==
[[Image:Lyhta-levecard.jpg|200px|left|A guildleve card for L'yhta, by '''Nahue''']]
L'yhta is typical of many Seekers of the Sun in that she can be impulsive and tends to speak her mind; like her brethren, she shows her emotions readily, which often makes her seem more flighty and impulsive than she actually is. She's somewhat naïve, tending to believe that people are usually good, that evil is always apparent and obvious, and that everyone wants to hear and see truth spoken to power. It helps that she has a sharp wit and a constant enthusiasm, though this latter trait sometimes grates on others' nerves. At times, she can be self-centered, petulant, and altogether childish, especially when her naivete about the world is challenged, when something stands between her and her goals, when she makes what she perceives to be a mistake, or when she feels like she's lost control of a situation. When her friends are threatened -- or when she ''perceives'' that they're being threatened or have been wronged by the forces of "Evil and Awful" -- she can be stubbornly dismissive and brutally violent and tends not to react well if asked to stay her hand, turning her ire on those same friends instead. In general, L'yhta is quite open about her feelings; if she likes you, you'll know it, and if she doesn't like you or is angry with you, she'll make ''sure'' you know that. Subtlety and deception aren't typically part of her repertoire.

L'yhta is also known to put on a bit of a haughty air when discussions of race come up. To L'yhta, miqo'te who fall into the "cute, sexy cat" stereotype -- "domesticated kittens," as she calls them -- are denigrating their whole race and contributing to the hypersexualization of miqo'te women. She also holds the other races with a degree of contempt for supporting this behavior by employing miqo'te as dancers and prostitutes. However, L'yhta also holds no love for tribal miqo'te, who she feels are limiting themselves and their race in addition to participating in what she now considers a barbaric system of mating. Her time in Limsa Lominsa has given her a strong desire for freedom and a respect for the dual virtues of self-sufficiency and teamwork, and the incompatibility of these with tribal miqo'te culture is part of why she holds it in such contempt.

Generally, L'yhta is fairly reserved in large social gatherings where she doesn't know most of the people there. She tends to keep to herself, away from the crowd. If approached, she's her usual gregarious, talkative self, but she doesn't seek out interactions (unless she happens to notice something that captures her eye, such as a Nymian relic or new spell). In bars in and around Limsa Lominsa, this tends to cause a fair number of rumours about "t'at mage drownin' 'er sorrows at th' end of th' bar." As she doesn't particularly enjoy "people-watching," she typically shies away from particularly raucous taverns unless brought there by someone she knows or they're one of her usual haunts (such as the Missing Member).

Like a young college student, L'yhta believes she's figured the world out thanks to her newfound knowledge and experience, and this has driven her to arrogantly make rash, ill-advised decisions. In general, though, L'yhta's motivated to help others and make the world a better place, even if lately she's taken on a rather significant anti-authoritarian streak. In D&D terms, her alignment is '''Chaotic Good'''. In Palladium terms, she's closest to '''Unprincipled''' these days (though she has some disturbingly '''Aberrant''' behaviors).

==Affiliations and Known Associates==
L'yhta is a citizen of Limsa Lominsa and a member of the Foreign Levy of the Maelstrom; technically speaking, she holds the rank of Second Storm Lieutenant, though both she and the Maelstrom largely consider that honorary, and she certainly wouldn't use it except, perhaps, to pull rank on an intransigent supply officer or hapless private in a moment of great need. Additionally, as part of the cooperative exchange program established by the three Grand Companies, she often acts as a consultant on matters of magic for the Immortal Flames and the Twin Adder. Finally, L'yhta is a Master of [http://mysterium.realitywerks.com Mysterium], an order of mages based out of Limsa Lominsa.

In particular, L'yhta has been known to have significant connections with (in no particular order, save that NPCs are last):

* [[Clalaris Sil Laris]] -- A lalafellin conjurer and, it's rumoured, white mage of Gridania is one of her closest friends. L'yhta feels she can talk to her about anything, which has led to more than a few awkward conversations.
* [[Nathalanee Reinhart]] -- This miqo'te bard is quite clearly L'yhta's girlfriend, even though the two of them make a bit of a half-hearted effort at keeping the relationship semi-secret (perhaps as an in-joke). Interestingly, the two live fairly independent lives, and L'yhta has noted that Nathalanee's confidence and independence are two of her more attractive characteristics.
* [[Eamont Desormaux]] -- This elezen conjurer is essentially L'yhta's surrogate father, though some believe their relationship is rather more than platonic.
* [[Seth Honeybrew]] -- Seth is, quite shockingly, the only person from whom L'yhta will accept casual racism towards miqo'te. Exactly why she's willing to laugh off from Seth what from others would usually get a verbal barrage isn't clear, but it is clear she considers him a good friend.
* [[Sazhi'to Bajhiri]] -- L'yhta feels a particular kinship to Sazhi'to (who she often just calls "Sazhi"), as both of them are, in her mind, refugees from tribal malfeasance. As for his sister, Mholi... L'yhta would be fine pushing her off a cliff.
* [[Rosamund Cartwright]] -- A rich daughter of Limsa Lominsa, Roz is one of L'yhta best friends.
* [[Racilian Lyenum]] -- "Raci," who was once a member of the Ivory Tower, is one of her friends and can always bring a smile to her face.
* [[Garryson Shipkeeper]] -- These two are known to, when they meet, get into deep conversations of philosophy, allegedly fueled by their mutual ability to put down large quantities of hard liquor. Whether or not drink is involved, though, L'yhta has a deep respect for his thoughts and counsel.
* [[Gus Pumpkinweed]] -- Gus was once one of L'yhta's apprentices, and the two of them got along quite well (perhaps due to the fact that they both have a strong drive towards excellence). She's ecstatic to hear that he's now opened a business of his own.
* [[Kevaraan Annorek]] -- This troubled miqo'te lancer was one of L'yhta's close friends before the Seventh Astral Era. She presumes him dead at this point, though she hopes he's just found a place
* [[R'kyala Mahji]] -- Since the two of them met through Camille, they've gotten along smashingly, perhaps because they both act like chocobos hopped up on X-Ethers.
* [[Paran Hywel]] -- A distance has formed between L'yhta and Paran since certain events involving a voidsent. While she's pleasantly surprised at his new interest in magic theory, she remains wary of the instability she saw in him.
* [[Camille Everardi]] -- L'yhta enjoys Camille's company and her keen intellect and ability to plan. She feels Camille is wise beyond her years.
* [[K'hane Tariq]] -- Since she was released from the influence of a powerful voidsent, K'hane's returned to "normal," though L'yhta wishes she'd show more of her confidence. "There's got to be a middle ground, right?"
* [[Deitrych Brownlowe]] -- This bounty hunter is viewed by most in the Tower as somewhere between weird and extremely creepy, but L'yhta finds him to be largely misunderstood and quirkily charming. The two have interacted much less after certain revelations regarding his interactions with Clalaris.
* [[Kellach Woods]] -- L'yhta met Kellach at a beach party when he was still an employee of XI:7. She likes both his enthusiasm and humbleness, and she'd like to show him more magic as she feels he has a strong talent for the art.
* [[Fio Arasgain]] -- This chef at the Bismarck and skilled warrior is someone L'yhta respects, as he's a fellow refugee from the tribal life. She feels they have a lot in common and could become closer friends.
* [[Aireiel Shipkeeper]] -- The significant other of Garryson Shipkeeper, she's been through a lot of hardships, and L'yhta respects the fact that she's come out of them with her mind intact. She does wish she'd come a bit more out of her shell, though.
* [[Karaki Crystalis]] -- After a rocky start, L'yhta's found that she and this miqo'te from the East have a lot in common. She considers him a friend and hopes to be able to "correct" his less personable qualities.
* [[Cliodhna Eoghan]] -- Cliodhna and L'yhta have crossed paths a few times, and they've a friendship forged on a mutual love of fun and helping others.
* [[Sasari Sari]] -- L'yhta gets along well with Sasari, or so she believes, and is quite interested in figuring out how to help her in better controlling her magicks.
* [[Sasani Sani]] -- Perhaps surprisingly, L'yhta can in fact tell Sasari and Sasani apart. She thinks Sasani is particularly sweet, particularly when she's with [[Jessika Saphir|Jessika]].
* Cieranaux Aramont -- Robert Fletcher's apprentice prior to L'yhta, Cieranaux has nothing but disrespect for her and typically lobs idle insults and cliché attacks in her direction -- a way to show his distaste for her while reminding her that she's, to him, nothing more than a trifle that doesn't warrant a more serious effort. After nearly murdering him and being pulled back from the brink by two of her friends, she's decided to just dismiss him as not worth her trouble.
* Volkido Tekido -- Robert Fletcher's personal assistant, this lalafell is the majordomo of the Ivory Tower and also acts as L'yhta's personal assistant. As much as he complains about being put upon by these "wizards with their heads in the clouds," and the "foolish girl" that he's "stuck with," Volkido cares deeply for her and the other wizards.
* L'ehli Tia -- When L'yhta last went to Greencliff, this tia -- one of her nephews by her eldest sister -- followed her back. Volkido has set him up with an apartment using L'yhta's funds so he can remain in the city; he's currently training at the Coral Tower to join the Yellowjackets.
* Solaxia -- L'yhta's agreed to, along with Clalaris, train this excitable sylph in the ways of magic. While Solaxia would much rather learn Thaumaturgy from Stompy One (as she calls L'yhta), L'yhta's pushed the sylph to learn Conjury from Moogle One (aka Clalaris) first.
* Lydia Burroughs -- This alleged defector from the Garleans was complicit in a dire crime committed against one of L'yhta's best friends. L'yhta told Nathalanee she wanted her to decide how to handle the captive, and so Lydia was turned over to the Twin Adder for debriefing despite L'yhta's misgivings. While she hopes the hyur can make good on the second chance she's been given, L'yhta is keeping a close eye on her and won't hesitate to try to put an end to this experiment if it goes even the least bit awry.

==Characteristics==
[[Image:L'yhtaMahreFlat.jpg|right|thumb|300px|L'yhta, envisioned by [http://mitchfoust.deviantart.com Mitch Foust]]]
* '''Nicknames''': Lyta (to most non-miqo'te), Yhta (to very close friends only)
* '''Age''': 24
** '''Nameday''': 12th sun of the 3rd Astral Moon, 1555 of 6th Astral Era
* '''Gender''': Female
** '''Sexuality''': Largely heterosexual, excepting one same-sex attraction
** '''Marital Status''': In a relationship, though she rarely admits it directly
* '''Alignment''': Chaotic Good/Unprincipled
* '''Height''': 5 fulms, 5 ilms
* '''Weight''': Generally around 120 to 130 ponz
* '''Body''': Thin, lanky, but with a wiry musculature
* '''Hair''': Varies, but naturally, long, straight, and violet
* '''Eyes''': Iridescent heliotrope
* '''Skin''': Dark with light facial markings
* '''Clothing''': In public, she tends to robes, pants or leggings, high boots, and ring guards or fingerless gloves. As of late, she's also been wearing fairly "daring" outfits involving short skirts and light, sleeveless tops. Her choice of clothing in public is as fluid as her mood, though unless she has no alternative, she never wears armor heavier than a breastplate or chain-backed robes and heavy leather boots. In private, she usually wears leggings and a bandeau top, light and minimal smallclothes, or nothing at all.

===Likes===
* Music and dancing
* Battle (though she'd only confess to "battles to protect people")
* Jellied fruits -- or any fruit, really
* Conversation, especially about magic, philosophy, and religion
* Proving how great she is
* Being surprised by someone's knowledge and talents
* Being teased (though she'd ''never'' admit that)
* Confident people who don't take themselves or life too seriously

===Dislikes===
* Probing questions about her tribal past or ''especially'' about her sexuality
* Being corrected, even when she's clearly screwed up
* Miqo'te females who fit the "cute" or "sexy" stereotype, as well as those who support tribal culture
* People who deny her "clearly obvious brilliance"
* The nobility and anyone else who seek to impose their will on others
* Arrogant people, especially those who claim noble blood or divine right
* "Fanatic cultists:" Ishgardians, Garleans, and sometimes Gridanians (depending on how much they use "the will of the Elementals" to justify their actions)

[[Image:Lyhta mahre sanguinefenrir.png|right|thumb|300px|L'yhta envisioned by '''sanguineFenrir''']]
===Areas of Expertise===
* '''Martial''': Thaumaturgy, Arcanima, Conjury; Thaumaturgy is her strongest Discipline, followed by Arcanima, then Conjury.
** L'yhta dabbles in other martial skills, but her expertise in them is largely a function of "cheating" using magic. Even with that assistance, she's about at the level of a talented beginner at best. When "cheating," she's very good at using her magic in physical combat to deflect attacks or to deliver punishing blows; her weakness is actually managing to ''connect'' with said blows, especially if her opponent has any real expertise.
* '''Crafting''': Enchantment, magitek modification
** She has some experience in alchemy and goldsmithing, but is a rough beginner except where they're necessary for her research. She knows enough tailoring to patch her own clothes. Mostly, she relies on others to keep her non-magical equipment and clothes in good shape.
* '''Other''': Magic theory, literacy, area knowledge, vocal performance, dancing, being insufferably upbeat
** L'yhta's particular area of expertise in magic theory is what she's taken to calling "metamagic" -- the blending of the three Disciplines of Magic to produce new and enhanced spells.

===Strengths===
* '''Magically adept''': L'yhta has a considerable natural talent for weaving Aether and practices all three Disciplines of Magic (though she's not ''nearly'' as great as she thinks she is).
* '''Driven''': When she's set her mind to something, it's very difficult to dissuade her.
* '''Witty''': L'yhta can be pretty quick with a quip or a joke about a situation, even in the midst of a pitched battle.
* '''Active''': If nothing else, L'yhta is a constant dynamo of energy. She does have an "off switch," so to speak, but most of the time, she's always in motion.
* '''Sidethinker''': When she does actually deign to plan, she's good at coming up with unexpected alternative solutions to problems.
* '''High alcohol tolerance''': As a result of growing up with small beers and her training with the Wizards' Choir (some of which involved heavy drinking and the consumption of "recreational" herbs and potions), L'yhta has a shockingly high alcohol tolerance, especially for someone her size. It's said she's drunk even salty Roegadyn sailors under the table, though not without having to be carried out of the tavern afterwards.
* '''Optimistic''': Everything's going to be great, Eorzea's heading to a greater tomorrow, and there's no way we can make the same mistakes of the past -- or so L'yhta believes. Going hand in hand with her naivete, she's boundlessly optimistic and typically views the bright side of any situation.

===Weaknesses===
* '''Physically inept''': Without "cheating" through the use of magic (or magitek), L'yhta is about as physically threatening as a clumsy Mealvaan's Gate desk clerk. It takes her considerable effort to work around this limitation, and so if she's caught unawares and without the tools of her trade, she's not particularly dangerous.
* '''Naive''': L'yhta believes that people are essentially good, that evil is always obvious, and that Good will always triumph over Evil in the end. More subtle and devious forms of wickedness can slip right under her nose, and as a result she's not the best judge of character.
* '''Imperceptive''': It could be her overconfidence blinding her, a consequence of her stubbornness when her mind is on another task, or merely a natural trait, but L'yhta is notably poor at noticing things that are out of the ordinary unless she's explicitly looking for them. As a Seeker of the Sun, her night vision is also fairly poor (which is one reason she likes staves that glow, besides how "stylish" they are). Her lack of perception often even extends to picking up on social cues.
* '''Stubborn''': Going hand in hand with being driven, once she's chosen a course of action -- for good or ill -- she rarely changes her mind unless the situation changes such that she has no other option. If she, for instance, decides someone is evil, it's very difficult to convince her otherwise. Precious few people can get her to second-guess her decisions, particularly in the heat of the moment.
* '''Overconfident''': At present, nothing in the world can convince "Limsa Lominsa's most spectaculofabulous sorcerer" that she's not, in fact, "Utterly Excellent" and "Destined for Great Things." This overconfidence more often than not leads her to take unnecessary, completely foolish risks. One of the most common demonstrations of this is her casually dismissive attitude towards both danger and her enemies. Some suspect that this overconfidence is really just overcompensation for her...
* '''Self-image issues''': As a result of her upbringing, L'yhta feels that magic is the only thing she's actually any good at, and that she has very few other positive qualities. This is usually extremely well-hidden behind her veil of overconfidence, but it comes out from time to time in pointedly negative comments she makes about herself, perseveration on others' off-handed comments about her, and dramatic changes in behavior or clothing based on the observations of others. For instance, a simple "isn't that outfit a little tight for you?" from an acquaintance can get her to run away to change clothes into something dramatically different, even if she were just proudly showing the outfit off.
* '''Lack of planning''': L'yhta rarely plans her actions in advance, preferring instead a "Geronimo!" approach of leaping before she looks. The term "poor impulse control" fits her, and when she feels she has to plan (or is forced to do so), she tends to get fidgety and impatient.

==Other Notes==
[[Image:LyhtaMahreNobootsFinalJPeg-Eckzein.jpg|right|thumb|300px|L'yhta dancing, envisioned by '''Eckzein''']]
[[Image:Lyhta-aria.jpg|right|thumb|300px|L'yhta being smug, envisioned by '''A'ria''']]
[[Image:ChibiMaker-Lyhta.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Chibi L'yhta-chan?!?]]
===Naming===
L'yhta usually uses a slightly simplified version of her name, "Lyta," among non-miqo'te primarily because she dislikes them butchering its actual pronunciation and spelling. It's easier and less obnoxious, in her mind, to just use a name that matches how people would typically read her name anyway. As such, she often uses the alias on legal documents in the city-states to simplify transactions. Among other miqo'te, however, she uses and prefers her real name. In close company, she, like many Seekers of the Sun, is known to drop her tribe letter and call herself Yhta (EE-tah).

===Religion===
L'yhta venerates the Twelve, but doesn't worship them, nor does she recognize any of them as her patron deity. If anything, she views Hydaelyn itself as her patron based on recent events. She feels that the circumstances of her life are proof of two things: one, she's been chosen for a Great Destiny by the Mothercrystal, and two, Nymeia has chosen to bless her, perhaps for this reason. Perhaps surprisingly, L'yhta isn't egotistical or outspoken about either of these beliefs or religion in general. In fact, she's typically awkward in such discussions, approaching them extremely tentatively (especially with regards to the Echo, which she views as both a blessing and a curse that makes her "weird").

===Quirks===
L'yhta adores jellied and candied fruits, and is rarely without a pouch of them. She also tends to introduce herself using made-up adjectives, usually created by forcefully merging two words, to describe her "greatness;" for instance, she's been known to refer to herself as "stupendiferous," "brilliantastic," and "magnifijestic." She'll often apply this sort of puffery to her friends, particularly when introducing them or cheering on their successes.

===Equipment===
L'yhta has acquired through her travels a fairly significant collection of artifacts that can channel and focus Aether, ranging from Nymian books to Allagan rods, from Belah'dian swords to Amdapori staves. Most of her robes and other clothes are commissioned bespoke, then enchanted by her; she spends considerable gil on "looking stylish," as she puts it. She especially likes modern recreations of ancient designs, such as Nymian outfits. However, she does have a relatively small collection of acquired clothing, including some highly magicked smallclothes that she came across in an Ishgardian fortress that'd been overrun by Voidsent.

In addition to this equipment, L'yhta has a wide variety of stolen and modified magitek (including a Reaper she's painted a garish metallic yellow) that she uses along with specialized spells of her own design to either deflect attacks or imbue her weapons -- specifically, a magitek sword -- with magical force. The net effect is that she can become quite difficult to hurt, but her lack of expertise and physical ability leave her relatively inept at actually landing any blows. When she's "cheating" in this way, she can't channel Aether for more direct spells. Despite her best efforts (and probably for the good of Eorzea generally), she remains unable to call forth and precisely control enough Aether to do so, and the effects of the magitek on the local Aetheric flows would make attempts to do so rather unsafe, to put it mildly.

===Rumours===
The following rumours can be heard about L'yhta, predominantly in Limsa Lominsa. (Please feel free to add your character's thoughts here as well.)

====Common rumours====
* "Remember that wizard, Robert Wotshisname? The one with the white hair? Yeah, he was ''totally'' making his bed with that Seeker girl, ifyaknowwhatImean."
* "Nah, she was just leading him on to get his inheritance once he was returned to the sea."
* "I heard she's been working with the Maelstrom as some kind of 'consulting mage' after she stopped some huge fishback ritual."
* "I never seen someone who weren't a kid, drunk, or a whore hug people as much as she does. An' she's no child, so whaddya think that says about her?"

====Uncommon rumours====
* "Remember what I said about her killing her family? She went back to finish the job! Why else's she got black hair now?"
* "Oh, I heard that she actually killed that old man she was bedding! She hit him with a spell while he was fighting on the front lines."
* "I used ta say she had no magical power, b-but... listen, bub, I-I saw her ''vaporize'' a ship's mast at full sail! Snap, boom, it was just ''gone''!"
* "I saw her bring an injured hyur to Fallgourd Float... then hire an adventurer to shoot the poor woman if she tried to leave! What kind of horrible creature would do such a thing?"
* "Shh! Keep it down! I heard she pushed someone off th' side of the city when he talked bad about her an' Seekers, then set 'im on fire on th' way down!"

====Rare rumours====
* "L'yhta's family is looking for her, and they're worried sick that she's going to fall in with a bad crowd or get killed."
* "She travels between here, Gridania, and Ul'dah a lot -- I bet she's a secret assassin working for some rich noble."
* "That green-haired miqo'te she's been hanging around? They're lovers, I heard. Yeah -- and that older elezen she's around, too, and those two lalafell with the staves. Typical miqo'te, bedding anything with a heartbeat..."

====What PCs are saying====

* "L'yhta? She is a tad excitable, yes, but then she tends to find exciting things. It all balances out, really, and it makes for interesting stories to tell." --[[Sazhi'to Bajhiri]]
* "A female who shares my distaste for the tribes. Fancies herself a sorcerer, too. She'll definitely be a good resource if she's half as learned as she claims to be." -- [[Fio Arasgain]]
* "A very good friend. Always good for a hug! And for exploring dangerous ruins with reckless disregard for our own well-being." - [[Kellach Woods]]
* "Oh- L'yhta! The sorcerer, hm? Hells, I really meant to speak with her again- she inspired me to try and take up more of the magical arts than I thought ''plausible'' before. I am still ''quite'' interested to see how she managed to meld Arcanima and Thaumaturgey, and those experiments ''did'' sound intriguing. ... I wonder if she remembers me; how time gets away up here. . ." -- [[Xavarian Mystrife]]
* "L'yhta's adorable. She's got a neat way of talking and some of the stuff's over my head but I can tell she's got a good heart! Plus she's a lot like me in some ways. More than the Miqo'te thing, and she doesn't have the glowy hair, but still..." -- [[Karaki Crystalis]]
* "L'yhta is my closest friend, my sister, and my most trusted confidant. There are not words to describe what she means to me, but suffice it to say that I would give everything for her sake. Whether it be delving into dangerous ruins, facing down hordes of enemies, or unlocking the mysteries of this world, I know I can count on her, and she on me." - [[Llaine Tetheros]]

===Known Haunts===
You might have run into or otherwise know L'yhta from:

* Mornings at the Bismarck in Limsa Lominsa, where she's usually there just after dawn for tea and fruit.
* All three magical guilds, which she regularly frequents and almost always with a journal in hand.
* The shores of La Noscea (particularly near Mist), where she's known to go swimming on a somewhat regular basis.
* Raids on Garlean encampments and Castrums, both formal and informal.

===OOC Inspirations===
<section begin=featured-blurb />
L'yhta is inspired by [[Wikipedia:Eleventh Doctor|Matt Smith's Eleventh Doctor]] -- particularly her "devil may care" attitude and wild overconfidence -- as well as [[wikipedia:Lina Inverse|Lina Inverse]]. Apparently, she also shares a fair number of characteristics with [[Wikipedia:Leslie Knope|Leslie Knope]] (in her loyalty and need to control situations) and [[Wikipedia:Scott Pilgrim|Scott Pilgrim]] (particularly in how self-absorbed she can be). Her casual disregard for danger and general expectation that everything will inevitably turn out in her favor is disturbingly similar to that of [[Wikipedia:Sterling Archer|Sterling Archer]].

'''Llaine Tetheros''' is a Hyur Highlander from Ul'dah, daughter of a wealthy Ul'dahn merchant, and ex-Immortal Flame. She is currently a veteran adventurer and member of the Ivory Tower, where she studies magic as a spellsword, weaving her martial prowess and magicks together. She is an adherent of Hydaelyn, and worships the Mother Crystal as her patron deity.

==Appearance==
Llaine is a Highlander of average to above-average height (roughly 5'10") with raven black hair, highlighted red, and mocha skin. She has complete heterochromia, with one turquoise blue and one seafoam green eye. A long scar adorns her right eye. She has dark freckles on her face, and if the Tetheros family had any traces of Ala Mhigan lineage in them it is long gone, with generations of their family able to be traced throughout Ul'dah's history. Her build is toned and athletic, able to show off clearly defined muscle groups when flexing but otherwise sleek when relaxed. A plethora of scars cover her body, each a wound sustained in combat, and at one time used as a mark of pride as a warrior. Now she often covers them in heavy plate or thick leather, preferring coats or modest clothing over revealing outfits. Her speech is eloquent and educated, and she shows no hint of the usual Ul'dahn accent.

Despite her knight's demeanor, she does still like to exhibit her feminine side, and will often wear her hair down, in long flowing curls, and when not girded for combat enjoys jewelry, fine robes, and light makeup.

==History==
Llaine Tetheros was born to wealth and affluence, the eldest daughter of an Ul'dahn merchant and his wife. Soon enough she was graced with a younger sister and brother, and she and her sister became fast friends while growing up. All three of the Tetheros children enjoyed a fine education and upper class rearing, complete with art lessons, chocobo riding, and decorum. When not training to represent the Tetheros family in the upper class of Ul'dah, Llaine and her sister Liara would play together, often descending into the lower streets of the city to find trouble. Llaine took to weapons early, learning swordplay from the Tetheros family head of security, and proved herself a capable combatant even in her young age. Meanwhile, her sister and brother were the ones who took well to the scales and micromanagement of Ul'dah's ultra-competitive market scene, yet it was still Llaine who was lauded as the Tetheros family heir. Liara and Liam continued to live in her shadow, despite Llaine's unpopular decision to forego the family business and join the Immortal Flames, and soon enough at age 16 she did just that, joining as a private under the command of the Flame General.

Soon after Llaine joined the Flames, she fell out of touch with her sister, who until then had kept up writing to her. Llaine was concerned, and a bit saddened, but her duties to the Flames kept her mostly occupied. More years passed, uneventful, until Llaine, now 23 years old and a Sergeant in the Flames, received word that her sister had disappeared. Llaine, fearing for Liara's safety, took temporary leave from the Flames to search for her. It did not take her long to find her sister, however, standing in the middle of a field of blood and surrounded by bodies. Liara had slaughtered dozens of men, women, and children, and when Llaine confronted her, she gave only an insane laugh and blamed Llaine and the shadow she cast, which Liara sought to escape from. After a brief clash which left both women scarred physically, Liara escaped, leaving Llaine to lament her sister's downfall in the pouring rains.

Years passed without a whisper of Liara's whereabouts, and Llaine continued her duties within the Flames, eventually becoming a Sergeant First Class just prior to the Battle of Carteneau and the Calamity. Llaine took part in the battle, escaping the fiery destruction rained upon the Eorzean Alliance by Bahamut, and ended her service with the Flames after that, becoming a wandering adventurer. Not long thereafter she joined the Sword and Rose Order as a close personal bodyguard of T'nara Fariq (later Katara Shadowalker) and [[Konner Kinkaid]]. During her stay with the Order, she learned of Liara's fate: she now led a band of revolutionaries called the Sons of Rhalgr, and the two forces met on the fields of Coerthas to settle things once and for all. While the Order and the Sons of Rhalgr battled fiercely around them, Llaine and Liara drew steel for their final confrontation. After a blazing duel, Llaine emerged victorious, albeit gravely injured, ending her sister's life and the Sons of Rhalgr for good. Llaine continued to serve Konner and the Order after their battle with Liara's forces, eventually serving as one of Konner's closest advisers before she vanished from Eorzea for a time.

Now back from her sojourn, Llaine has taken up worship of Hydaelyn, the Mother Crystal, and become a wandering adventurer again, doing good deeds and lending aid wherever it may be needed in the name of the Crystal. She has rejoined her old friend [[L'yhta Mahre]] in Mysterium, the Ivory Tower, to expand on her magic abilities, and has begun laying the groundwork for the reformed Ebon Watch, the Tower's martial order.

==Personality==
Llaine has a very strong sense of morality and justice, and it comes through in her stern demeanor when facing down ne'er-do-wells or battling the forces of evil. Typically, though, she has a carefree and laid-back air about her, even if her posture and bearing can suggest otherwise. She tries to come across as motherly, or like a big sister, offering wisdom and advice when it is requested, and protecting her friends and loved ones when necessary. She tends to dive headlong into the unknown, preferring to lead the charge rather than follow, as the safety of her comrades always takes priority over her own. She is selfless, sometimes to the point of being sanctimonious, and can be a bit preachy at times.

Bubbling just below the surface is a bloodlust she once tapped into for power before becoming an adherent of Hydaelyn, and if pushed too far, will allow it to overtake her, driving her into a ferocious frenzy of steel.

==Affiliations and Known Associates==
* [[L'yhta Mahre]] - Llaine's closest friend next to Eamont, she greatly enjoys L'yhta's company and their discussions of life and the world. She enjoys L'yhta's viewpoints on things and more than once, the plucky Miqo'te mage has helped Llaine see a problem from a fresh perspective. Llaine is more than happy to take on the mantle of L'yhta's "big sister."
* [[Eamont Desormaux]] - The second of Llaine's closest friends, Llaine looks up to Eamont as a confidant and source of wisdom when her own runs dry. She lived with Eamont for a spell after returning to Eorzea and the two grew even closer than before. Llaine would give anything for Eamont's sake, though she would never tell him that.
* [[Clalaris Sil Laris]] - Llaine is relatively well-acquainted with the Tower's most popular lalafell, having had a few conversations with her prior to Llaine's disappearance, and again after her return. She respects Clalaris as a mage and fellow Tower member.
* [[Sazhi'to Bajhiri]] - Sazhi'to did some crafting work for Llaine prior to her disappearance, and now after her return, the two share a friendly acquaintance. As with most of the Tower's mages, Llaine respects his abilities as a mage.
* [[Nataru Rahz]] - Llaine has conversed with this chipper Miqo'te monk on several occasions, usually alongside Nataru's Au Ra fiancee. She works in the tavern Llaine frequents on her travels, and their conversation is always lighthearted.
* [[Hageshi No Valirelia]] - Nataru's lover, Vali once gave Llaine some very valuable advice. Though Llaine finds Vali to be somewhat of an enigma at times, the relationship between Vali and Nataru always warms Llaine's heart.
* [[Kurenai Nagi]] - Llaine once assisted in retrieving this Raen fortune-teller from a well-meaning but misguided guardian, and has remained cordial and friendly with her since. She seems nice enough, and Llaine is very willing to help the young Au Ra in whatever way she can.

Worships '''Hydaelyn''', the Mother Crystal

===Quirks===
Llaine, while not generally preferring one gender over the other when it comes to romance, does have a weakness for female Miqo'te. She also has a weakness for cheesecake, and it is the quickest way to garner her favor. She has a tendency to wax poetic when struck with a particular determination about something, and will make sweeping declarations apropos of nothing.

===Equipment===
Llaine usually carries a weapon of some sort, be it sword, axe, or claymore, and tends to only dress casually when relaxing at home. Her favored set of armor is a lightweight jacket with steel gauntlets and greaves, well-suited to travelling. She carries a satchel containing general goods for the road, as well as weapon maintenance kits and an assortment of crystals for bartering, on top of her usual gil allowance.

===Rumours===
The following rumours can be heard about Llaine, predominantly in Ul'dah. (If your character has an opinion about her, feel free to add it here.)

====Common rumours====
* "Eldest daughter of Leoric Tetheros, she is. Aye, the wealthy one."
* "Used to run in the mercenary circles, went by the name Scarlet Blade."
* "Sergeant Tetheros? Aye, I served with her. Damn fine soldier. Shame to watch her go after Carteneau."

====Uncommon rumours====

* "Saw her in Vesper Bay with a pirate crew. Least I think it was her. Who are we talking about, again?"

====Rare rumours====

====What PCs are saying====

* "Llaine? She's the big sister I always wished I had, you know? I'm glad to have someone so strong and so ''solid'' in my life. I hope she doesn't end up heading away again..." --[[L'yhta Mahre]]
* " Llaine shares the name of my first love...and in some ways many of her characteristics. She's a wonderful person and a true hero that others can look up to. Her love for our home is inspiring and has even gotten me wanting to join her cause....hells she's a damn fine role model if you ask me. She's one of a kind and i'm really glad I've gotten to know her." --[[Nataru Rahz]]
* "I've seen her coming out of a house I used to nap at. The guy's, like, her nunh you know? Suspicious, right!? But don't tell her I told you. She carries a big sword!" -- [[Karaki Crystalis]]

'''Llaine Tetheros''' is a Hyur Highlander from Ul'dah, daughter of a wealthy Ul'dahn merchant, and ex-Immortal Flame. She is currently a veteran adventurer and member of the Ivory Tower, where she studies magic as a spellsword, weaving her martial prowess and magicks together. She is an adherent of Hydaelyn, and worships the Mother Crystal as her patron deity.

==Appearance==
Llaine is a Highlander of average to above-average height (roughly 5'10") with raven black hair, highlighted red, and mocha skin. She has complete heterochromia, with one turquoise blue and one seafoam green eye. A long scar adorns her right eye. She has dark freckles on her face, and if the Tetheros family had any traces of Ala Mhigan lineage in them it is long gone, with generations of their family able to be traced throughout Ul'dah's history. Her build is toned and athletic, able to show off clearly defined muscle groups when flexing but otherwise sleek when relaxed. A plethora of scars cover her body, each a wound sustained in combat, and at one time used as a mark of pride as a warrior. Now she often covers them in heavy plate or thick leather, preferring coats or modest clothing over revealing outfits. Her speech is eloquent and educated, and she shows no hint of the usual Ul'dahn accent.

Despite her knight's demeanor, she does still like to exhibit her feminine side, and will often wear her hair down, in long flowing curls, and when not girded for combat enjoys jewelry, fine robes, and light makeup.

==History==
Llaine Tetheros was born to wealth and affluence, the eldest daughter of an Ul'dahn merchant and his wife. Soon enough she was graced with a younger sister and brother, and she and her sister became fast friends while growing up. All three of the Tetheros children enjoyed a fine education and upper class rearing, complete with art lessons, chocobo riding, and decorum. When not training to represent the Tetheros family in the upper class of Ul'dah, Llaine and her sister Liara would play together, often descending into the lower streets of the city to find trouble. Llaine took to weapons early, learning swordplay from the Tetheros family head of security, and proved herself a capable combatant even in her young age. Meanwhile, her sister and brother were the ones who took well to the scales and micromanagement of Ul'dah's ultra-competitive market scene, yet it was still Llaine who was lauded as the Tetheros family heir. Liara and Liam continued to live in her shadow, despite Llaine's unpopular decision to forego the family business and join the Immortal Flames, and soon enough at age 16 she did just that, joining as a private under the command of the Flame General.

Soon after Llaine joined the Flames, she fell out of touch with her sister, who until then had kept up writing to her. Llaine was concerned, and a bit saddened, but her duties to the Flames kept her mostly occupied. More years passed, uneventful, until Llaine, now 23 years old and a Sergeant in the Flames, received word that her sister had disappeared. Llaine, fearing for Liara's safety, took temporary leave from the Flames to search for her. It did not take her long to find her sister, however, standing in the middle of a field of blood and surrounded by bodies. Liara had slaughtered dozens of men, women, and children, and when Llaine confronted her, she gave only an insane laugh and blamed Llaine and the shadow she cast, which Liara sought to escape from. After a brief clash which left both women scarred physically, Liara escaped, leaving Llaine to lament her sister's downfall in the pouring rains.

Years passed without a whisper of Liara's whereabouts, and Llaine continued her duties within the Flames, eventually becoming a Sergeant First Class just prior to the Battle of Carteneau and the Calamity. Llaine took part in the battle, escaping the fiery destruction rained upon the Eorzean Alliance by Bahamut, and ended her service with the Flames after that, becoming a wandering adventurer. Not long thereafter she joined the Sword and Rose Order as a close personal bodyguard of T'nara Fariq (later Katara Shadowalker) and [[Konner Kinkaid]]. During her stay with the Order, she learned of Liara's fate: she now led a band of revolutionaries called the Sons of Rhalgr, and the two forces met on the fields of Coerthas to settle things once and for all. While the Order and the Sons of Rhalgr battled fiercely around them, Llaine and Liara drew steel for their final confrontation. After a blazing duel, Llaine emerged victorious, albeit gravely injured, ending her sister's life and the Sons of Rhalgr for good. Llaine continued to serve Konner and the Order after their battle with Liara's forces, eventually serving as one of Konner's closest advisers before she vanished from Eorzea for a time.

Now back from her sojourn, Llaine has taken up worship of Hydaelyn, the Mother Crystal, and become a wandering adventurer again, doing good deeds and lending aid wherever it may be needed in the name of the Crystal. She has rejoined her old friend [[L'yhta Mahre]] in Mysterium, the Ivory Tower, to expand on her magic abilities, and has begun laying the groundwork for the reformed Ebon Watch, the Tower's martial order.

==Personality==
Llaine has a very strong sense of morality and justice, and it comes through in her stern demeanor when facing down ne'er-do-wells or battling the forces of evil. Typically, though, she has a carefree and laid-back air about her, even if her posture and bearing can suggest otherwise. She tries to come across as motherly, or like a big sister, offering wisdom and advice when it is requested, and protecting her friends and loved ones when necessary. She tends to dive headlong into the unknown, preferring to lead the charge rather than follow, as the safety of her comrades always takes priority over her own. She is selfless, sometimes to the point of being sanctimonious, and can be a bit preachy at times.

Bubbling just below the surface is a bloodlust she once tapped into for power before becoming an adherent of Hydaelyn, and if pushed too far, will allow it to overtake her, driving her into a ferocious frenzy of steel.

==Affiliations and Known Associates==
* [[L'yhta Mahre]] - Llaine's closest friend next to Eamont, she greatly enjoys L'yhta's company and their discussions of life and the world. She enjoys L'yhta's viewpoints on things and more than once, the plucky Miqo'te mage has helped Llaine see a problem from a fresh perspective. Llaine is more than happy to take on the mantle of L'yhta's "big sister."
* [[Eamont Desormaux]] - The second of Llaine's closest friends, Llaine looks up to Eamont as a confidant and source of wisdom when her own runs dry. She lived with Eamont for a spell after returning to Eorzea and the two grew even closer than before. Llaine would give anything for Eamont's sake, though she would never tell him that.
* [[Clalaris Sil Laris]] - Llaine is relatively well-acquainted with the Tower's most popular lalafell, having had a few conversations with her prior to Llaine's disappearance, and again after her return. She respects Clalaris as a mage and fellow Tower member.
* [[Sazhi'to Bajhiri]] - Sazhi'to did some crafting work for Llaine prior to her disappearance, and now after her return, the two share a friendly acquaintance. As with most of the Tower's mages, Llaine respects his abilities as a mage.
* [[Nataru Rahz]] - Llaine has conversed with this chipper Miqo'te monk on several occasions, usually alongside Nataru's Au Ra fiancee. She works in the tavern Llaine frequents on her travels, and their conversation is always lighthearted.
* [[Hageshi No Valirelia]] - Nataru's lover, Vali once gave Llaine some very valuable advice. Though Llaine finds Vali to be somewhat of an enigma at times, the relationship between Vali and Nataru always warms Llaine's heart.
* [[Kurenai Nagi]] - Llaine once assisted in retrieving this Raen fortune-teller from a well-meaning but misguided guardian, and has remained cordial and friendly with her since. She seems nice enough, and Llaine is very willing to help the young Au Ra in whatever way she can.

Not long thereafter she joined the Sword and Rose Order as a close personal bodyguard of T'nara Fariq (later Katara Shadowalker) and [[Konner Kinkaid]]. During her stay with the Order, she learned of Liara's fate: she now led a band of revolutionaries called the Sons of Rhalgr, and the two forces met on the fields of Coerthas to settle things once and for all. While the Order and the Sons of Rhalgr battled fiercely around them, Llaine and Liara drew steel for their final confrontation. After a blazing duel, Llaine emerged victorious, albeit gravely injured, ending her sister's life and the Sons of Rhalgr for good. Llaine continued to serve Konner and the Order after their battle with Liara's forces, eventually serving as one of Konner's closest advisers before she vanished from Eorzea for a time.

Now back from her sojourn, Llaine has taken up worship of Hydaelyn, the Mother Crystal, and become a wandering adventurer again, doing good deeds and lending aid wherever it may be needed in the name of the Crystal. She has rejoined her old friend [[L'yhta Mahre]] in Mysterium, the Ivory Tower, to expand on her magic abilities, and has begun laying the groundwork for the reformed Ebon Watch, the Tower's martial order.

==Personality==
Llaine has a very strong sense of morality and justice, and it comes through in her stern demeanor when facing down ne'er-do-wells or battling the forces of evil. Typically, though, she has a carefree and laid-back air about her, even if her posture and bearing can suggest otherwise. She tries to come across as motherly, or like a big sister, offering wisdom and advice when it is requested, and protecting her friends and loved ones when necessary. She tends to dive headlong into the unknown, preferring to lead the charge rather than follow, as the safety of her comrades always takes priority over her own. She is selfless, sometimes to the point of being sanctimonious, and can be a bit preachy at times.

Bubbling just below the surface is a bloodlust she once tapped into for power before becoming an adherent of Hydaelyn, and if pushed too far, will allow it to overtake her, driving her into a ferocious frenzy of steel.

==Affiliations and Known Associates==
* [[L'yhta Mahre]] - Llaine's closest friend next to Eamont, she greatly enjoys L'yhta's company and their discussions of life and the world. She enjoys L'yhta's viewpoints on things and more than once, the plucky Miqo'te mage has helped Llaine see a problem from a fresh perspective. Llaine is more than happy to take on the mantle of L'yhta's "big sister."
* [[Eamont Desormaux]] - The second of Llaine's closest friends, Llaine looks up to Eamont as a confidant and source of wisdom when her own runs dry. She lived with Eamont for a spell after returning to Eorzea and the two grew even closer than before. Llaine would give anything for Eamont's sake, though she would never tell him that.
* [[Clalaris Sil Laris]] - Llaine is relatively well-acquainted with the Tower's most popular lalafell, having had a few conversations with her prior to Llaine's disappearance, and again after her return. She respects Clalaris as a mage and fellow Tower member.
* [[Sazhi'to Bajhiri]] - Sazhi'to did some crafting work for Llaine prior to her disappearance, and now after her return, the two share a friendly acquaintance. As with most of the Tower's mages, Llaine respects his abilities as a mage.
* [[Nataru Rahz]] - Llaine has conversed with this chipper Miqo'te monk on several occasions, usually alongside Nataru's Au Ra fiancee. She works in the tavern Llaine frequents on her travels, and their conversation is always lighthearted.
* [[Hageshi No Valirelia]] - Nataru's lover, Vali once gave Llaine some very valuable advice. Though Llaine finds Vali to be somewhat of an enigma at times, the relationship between Vali and Nataru always warms Llaine's heart.
* [[Kurenai Nagi]] - Llaine once assisted in retrieving this Raen fortune-teller from a well-meaning but misguided guardian, and has remained cordial and friendly with her since. She seems nice enough, and Llaine is very willing to help the young Au Ra in whatever way she can.

'''Reilan Orycia''' (RAY-lan oh-RAY-sha) is the eldest son of the Orycia household, former knight of House Fortemps, once wandering sellsword, and now soldier in the Black Sun Vanguard, an Ishgardian 'bad company' operating out of Whitebrim Front.

==Appearance==
At first glance one would see a Wildwood Elezen of fairly average height at seven foot one inches. His hair is black, and he keeps it tied back in a messy ponytail-bun of sorts. His ears are a tad bit longer than most Elezen, and his face is covered in a mess of facial hair that he halfheartedly keeps trimmed. His eyes are an uncanny blood red color, though you'd be hard-pressed to know it due to the wine-colored pince-nez he is always wearing. Despite his dark hair and red eyes, Reilan is full-blooded Ishgardian, like his father before him, all the way back to the days of the first Azure Dragoon.

Once a typical alehouse patron, recent developments have seen Reilan acting in the field more often than not as a ranger of sorts. Normal field attire is his chainmail haubergeon, vambraces, and sollerets, and either a sword and shield or his trusty axe. When not in the field, he will wear a long black jacket with boots and gloves. He is disdainful of overt ornamentation, preferring instead simple, conservative jewelry. He has a tattoo of indeterminate origin on his left arm, and his body is covered in scars and burns, the remnants of his life of soldiering.

Reilan's gaze is fierce, and his demeanor intense, but those who stick through his prickly personality can find a soft center to the hardened Ishgardian.

==History==
Born in the year 1545 of the 6th Astral Era to a priest of the church and his wife, Reilan Orycia was a strapping, energetic young lad who displayed astounding talent in athletics from a young age. Raised with a deep reverence for Halone, his childhood was rather unremarkable, albeit comfortable. When he was five years old he was given a sister, Marenois, whom he helped care for and looked after, and was generally an excellent big brother for. When he turned 18 years of age he joined the military of House Fortemps and was stationed at Whitebrim Front for some time, occasionally providing relief for the forces at Stone Vigil.

Unbeknownst to Reilan, stationed at the front lines, turmoil for his family brewed back in the holy city. His father, speaking against a particularly influential member of House Durendaire, garnered ire from the house. Being a member of the clergy, nothing could be done against Aldenaard Orycia openly, but in the shadows, machinations against the Orycia family began to turn. It started with subtlety, instigating a smear campaign against Reilan's sister Marenois, who had grown to become an influential member of the clergy in her own right. When Reilan's father spoke out against the actions, House Durendaire accused him of bias, and of condoning the actions falsely levied against Marenois. Ultimately, she was excommunicated, and exiled from Ishgard.

Following Marenois' exile, Reilan was sent with a small detachment of House Fortemps soldiers to investigate claims of heretical activity in the hills surrounding Whitebrim Front. While investigating the area, the soldiers were ambushed by hooded and cloaked figures wielding standard martial weapons. The entirety of the detachment was annihilated, but Reilan was left only grievously wounded. He managed to make it back to Whitebrim Front to report the ambush, when he was placed under arrest and taken into custody for questioning. Before he could be questioned, however, he was transferred to the custody of an Inquisitor and a small escort of Temple Knights, who brought him back to Ishgard for interrogation.

Back in the holy city, Reilan was accused of aiding and abetting the heretics, which explained why he was the sole survivor of the ambush. Despite his pleadings to the contrary, the Inquisitor was unconvinced. Reilan was kept in confinement for a half a year while his case was investigated and deliberated. Finally, one particularly snowy day, his cell door was opened and his shackles were released. He was informed that he had been found not guilty, and that the true heretic behind the ambush had been exposed. To secure his innocence, and his freedom, the Holy See required but one thing from him: he was to kill the heretic himself.

Reilan readily agreed, and a plan was set in motion. During a particularly nasty blizzard, Reilan was led to an overlook from which he would be able to spot a meeting between the heretic leader and his cell of rebels. Reilan waited and watched in the blistering cold for the opportune moment to strike, and finally, the heretic leader appeared. Moving silently in the blinding snow, Reilan crept up behind the heretic leader and dug his blade into his back. As the heretic leader fell, he spun to face his attacker.

Reilan looked into the eyes of his father as he gasped his last frozen breath before collapsing, slowly painting the snow a deep crimson as he bled out. Reilan dropped his sword, shaking from head to toe with the realization that he had just executed his own father. At first he was unable to grasp the reality of the situation; it was impossible to accept the notion that his father was a high-ranking heretic. He stumbled back to Camp Dragonhead where he was apprehended by authorities and taken back to Ishgard. There he was commended on his actions in executing the heretic, and given a formal pardon. He never noticed the sly smiles and exchanging of gil purses by House Durendaire nobles.

After some convincing by the church, Reilan accepted his father's fate, taking a position within the church as a hunter, an executioner of heretics outside the jurisdiction of Ishgard. Officially, he was branded an exile and forced to abscond Ishgard, but unofficially, he continues to work for the church in secret, acquiring kill orders through the use of dead drops. Ordered to join the Black Sun Vanguard as an extra layer of protection for his identity as an exile, he also has his own reasons for wanting to join the unit, as he begins to suspect foul play, and deception at the hands of House Durendaire.
==Personality==
While he used to put up a front of being a drunken reveler and rogue, recent developments have seen Reilan drop that persona entirely in favor of his much more professional, cold, intense nature. Some might consider him prickly or unapproachable, and indeed, he has little tolerance for those he considers foolish or naive, but if you can earn his respect, even a little, you can see some of his more good-humored side. Even if you don't, Reilan has been a soldier long enough to have a strong sense of protection over others, and will often go out of his way to ensure others in his party are cared for. He will push himself to exhaustion and throw himself in harm's way for his comrades, doing so even as he throws a scathing remark or sneer their way.

Reilan's philosophy on his own life is a bleak one. He considers himself little more than a dog of war, a phantom of the battlefield that will never escape it. Despite accepting this role as a forever soldier, he seems to despise war, telling those who question him on it, "I seek not glory, nor songs, nor tales long remembered. I seek only to bring an end to the age when men like me are necessary." True to his word, he will often deflect hero worship or praise, and will endeavor to slip into the night before any thanks or rewards can be offered for a job done.

Despite a noble bearing, and a fervent love for Ishgard and Halone, Reilan knows that when the Dragonsong War finally comes to an end, it will be time for him to leave his beloved city, and leave the reconstruction of Ishgard to his kin. He will find a new battlefield to tread upon, and a new cause to fight, and likely die, for.

==Affiliations and Known Associates==
Reilan has various acquaintances throughout the merchant circles of the various city-states, known as being a reliable, if somewhat unmotivated, blade for hire. He also has various connections in the standing military of House Fortemps.

Currently he is affiliated with the Black Sun Vanguard as a soldier, with close ties to the leaders Ischyros Estalia and Arivi Vel'ecna.

===Weaknesses===
* '''No Magic for You''' - Reilan has very little control over his personal aether, making even aetheryte travel difficult, to say nothing of magic arts
* '''Why is the Rum Gone?''' - Reilan has a bit of an alcohol problem, and is almost never seen outside work without a drink in hand
* '''That's Racist''' - Reilan has prejudices against the other races, believing Elezen to be the one true race ordained by the Twelve to rule Eorzea
* '''Bloody Fanaticism''' - Reilan is a strict adherent of Halone, and adjusts his moral compass according to her teachings and the word of the Church, instead of social norm

==Other Notes==
===Religion===
Adherent of the Ishgardian Orthodoxy
===Quirks===
Reilan is capable of very flowery speech when attempting to impress, sway, or intimidate. Once around people he is comfortable with, however, he will slip into a more common Eorzean dialect. He is also an unabashed flirt and rogue but will never bring it any further than that.

===Equipment===
When in "work mode" he will always carry his trusty blade and kite shield as well as a satchel full of assorted necessities for long periods of time in the field. When in casual dress he prefers a gil pouch and bottle of rum, with small daggers hidden for protection, should he need them.
===Rumours===
The following rumours can be heard about Reilan, predominantly in Ishgard. (If your character has an opinion about him, feel free to add it here.)

====Common rumours====
* "I heard his sister took her own life after being excommunicated. Serves her right, after what she did."
* "His father was a heretic leader. Dead now, but no one knows how or who did it."
* "He works as a sellsword now. What an ignoble profession for one of Ishgard's knights."

====Uncommon rumours====
* "I heard it was him who killed his father. Stabbed him right in the back without a hint of remorse."
* "He's a playboy, he is. Sleeps with any wench who will look at him!"

====Rare rumours====
* "If you ask me, it was all a big ploy and he still works for the church. Can't say what he'd be doing though."

==Character==
===General===
Ceillet Orycia is a daughter of a low noble house, and coming from a life of privilege is often times mistaken to be quite selfish and snooty, though her intentions and ambitions are pure.
===Appearance===
Ceillet is tall for a woman of her kind, standing a wee bit over six feet tall. Raven black hair frames her face, she keeps it braided for convenience, with large silver eyes being her most striking feature. Ceillet has light brown skin, and full red lips, and every inch of her is well groomed and taken care of.

===Personality===

Ceillet is very ambitious, and her family is known for being masters of machinations and manipulations. Though Ceillet eschews that part of her heritage, just because she does not enjoy playing the game, does not mean she is not a master of it when she chooses to be. All in all she is exactly who you would expect her to be, proper and ladylike, and well mannered. Ceillet has a softer side, as well as an independent streak she often hides from the world, as in Ishgard you follow the status quo, or have your life ripped out from under you. Ceillet is neurotic and often worries about peoples perceptions of her, striving to maintain a good face for the public.

Despite his dark hair and red eyes, Reilan is full-blooded Ishgardian, like his father before him, all the way back to the days of the first Azure Dragoon.

He is usually seen around ale houses and wenches in casual clothing. He prefers jackets and yukatas, and is usually in a pair of black pants and clogs. He is disdainful of overt ornamentation, preferring instead simple, conservative jewelry to accentuate his pince-nez and impress the ladyfolk. On particularly sweltering La Noscean summer days, he will go shirtless, revealing a toned body that is not overly buff but definitely athletic, giving some credence to his stories of soldiering days of yore (usually only told in the company of fine lasses).

His revelries in his favorite haunt, the Drowning Wench, bespeak a slight alcohol problem, but if you ever catch his gaze from behind his pince-nez, you'll feel a chill run down your spine as his unnervingly focused and steady gaze cuts to your very core.
==History==
Born in the year 1545 of the 6th Astral Era to a priest of the church and his wife, Reilan Orycia was a strapping, energetic young lad who displayed astounding talent in athletics from a young age. Raised with a deep reverence for Halone, his childhood was rather unremarkable, albeit comfortable. When he was five years old he was given a sister, Marenois, whom he helped care for and looked after, and was generally an excellent big brother for. When he turned 18 years of age he joined the military of House Fortemps and was stationed at Whitebrim Front for some time, occasionally providing relief for the forces at Stone Vigil.

Unbeknownst to Reilan, stationed at the front lines, turmoil for his family brewed back in the holy city. His father, speaking against a particularly influential member of House Durendaire, garnered ire from the house. Being a member of the clergy, nothing could be done against Aldenaard Orycia openly, but in the shadows, machinations against the Orycia family began to turn. It started with subtlety, instigating a smear campaign against Reilan's sister Marenois, who had grown to become an influential member of the clergy in her own right. When Reilan's father spoke out against the actions, House Durendaire accused him of bias, and of condoning the actions falsely levied against Marenois. Ultimately, she was excommunicated, and exiled from Ishgard.

Following Marenois' exile, Reilan was sent with a small detachment of House Fortemps soldiers to investigate claims of heretical activity in the hills surrounding Whitebrim Front. While investigating the area, the soldiers were ambushed by hooded and cloaked figures wielding standard martial weapons. The entirety of the detachment was annihilated, but Reilan was left only grievously wounded. He managed to make it back to Whitebrim Front to report the ambush, when he was placed under arrest and taken into custody for questioning. Before he could be questioned, however, he was transferred to the custody of an Inquisitor and a small escort of Temple Knights, who brought him back to Ishgard for interrogation.

Back in the holy city, Reilan was accused of aiding and abetting the heretics, which explained why he was the sole survivor of the ambush. Despite his pleadings to the contrary, the Inquisitor was unconvinced. Reilan was kept in confinement for a half a year while his case was investigated and deliberated. Finally, one particularly snowy day, his cell door was opened and his shackles were released. He was informed that he had been found not guilty, and that the true heretic behind the ambush had been exposed. To secure his innocence, and his freedom, the Holy See required but one thing from him: he was to kill the heretic himself.

Reilan readily agreed, and a plan was set in motion. During a particularly nasty blizzard, Reilan was led to an overlook from which he would be able to spot a meeting between the heretic leader and his cell of rebels. Reilan waited and watched in the blistering cold for the opportune moment to strike, and finally, the heretic leader appeared. Moving silently in the blinding snow, Reilan crept up behind the heretic leader and dug his blade into his back. As the heretic leader fell, he spun to face his attacker.

Reilan looked into the eyes of his father as he gasped his last frozen breath before collapsing, slowly painting the snow a deep crimson as he bled out. Reilan dropped his sword, shaking from head to toe with the realization that he had just executed his own father. At first he was unable to grasp the reality of the situation; it was impossible to accept the notion that his father was a high-ranking heretic. He stumbled back to Camp Dragonhead where he was apprehended by authorities and taken back to Ishgard. There he was commended on his actions in executing the heretic, and given a formal pardon. He never noticed the sly smiles and exchanging of gil purses by House Durendaire nobles.

After some convincing by the church, Reilan accepted his father's fate, taking a position within the church as a hunter, an executioner of heretics outside the jurisdiction of Ishgard. Officially, he was branded an exile and forced to abscond Ishgard, but unofficially, he continues to work for the church in secret, acquiring kill orders through the use of dead drops. Ordered to join the Black Sun Vanguard as an extra layer of protection for his identity as an exile, he also has his own reasons for wanting to join the unit, as he begins to suspect foul play, and deception at the hands of House Durendaire.
==Personality==
Reilan is first and foremost a reveler, preferring the company of friends, fine wenches, and finer ale over aught else. He is generous with coin when it comes to buying rounds, and often his nights at the Wench end with boisterous singing and table dancing. At times, however, he can seemingly go into a temporary trance, shifting attitudes entirely for a moment before he snaps out of it and returns to his usual revelry. Despite his nature as an unabashed flirt, Reilan never seems to follow through, always stumbling drunk to his bed alone at the end of the night (which, moire often than not, is the crack of dawn).

When working jobs as a sellsword, Reilan appears unfocused at best and lazy at worst, until action springs up. When faced with a clear and present danger, Reilan acts with a certainty and professionalism that makes abundantly clear his tales of days in the Ishgardian military are not idle fancy. This keeps work steady, but not overly busy, as employers and clients find his attitude difficult to reconcile with his skills.

Overall, Reilan is a likable and approachable sort, given you take his attitude with a grain of salt. More straight-laced types might find disdain in his carefree and alcohol-soaked lifestyle, but he'll never speak an ill word against you. Watch him closely, and you may yet discern that some secrets lie behind those rose-colored glasses of his.
==Affiliations and Known Associates==
Reilan has various acquaintances throughout the merchant circles of the various city-states, known as being a reliable, if somewhat unmotivated, blade for hire. He also has various connections in the standing military of House Fortemps.

Currently he is affiliated with the Black Sun Vanguard as a soldier, with close ties to the leaders Ischyros Estalia and Arivi Vel'ecna.

He is also involved in a blooming relationship with fellow Vanguard soldier Sophine Valeraint.

* '''Body''': The natural litheness of Elezens mixed with the toned musculature of a soldier
* '''Hair''': Black, pulled back into a messy bun/ponytail
* '''Eyes''': Blood red
* '''Skin''': Pale Wildwood skin
* '''Clothing''': When working, plate armor that still allows a wide range of movement. When casual, a simple vest with a jacket and casual pants with wooden sandals.

===Likes===
* Fine wines and Limsan rum
* Ishgardian cuisine
* Tavern wenches
* Halone
* Drawing

===Dislikes===
* Heretics
* Dravanians
* People who are always way too serious about everything
* People who speak ill of Ishgard
* Running out of rum

===Areas of Expertise===
* '''Martial''': Blades, both longswords and daggers, and the lance
* '''Crafting''': Blacksmithing and armorsmithing, trades he learned to better maintain his own equipment between jobs
* '''Other''': Battlefield tactics, espionage

===Strengths===
* '''The Will of the Fury''' - Reilan is empowered by his devotion to Halone, gaining the strength of zealotry
* '''Son of Ishgard''' - Born and raised Ishgardian, Reilan has unique insights into the culture and tactics against the Scalekin
* '''Tactician''' - In addition to tactical knowledge against the scalekin, Reilan is an accomplished tactician in general
* '''Wordsmith''' - Reilan is possessed of above-average Charisma, able to sway most with his prose and wordcrafting
* '''Uncanny Education''' - Reilan's mother was a tutor of the noble houses, and so his education growing up was above-average

===Weaknesses===
* '''No Magic for You''' - Reilan has very little control over his personal aether, making even aetheryte travel difficult, to say nothing of magic arts
* '''Why is the Rum Gone?''' - Reilan has a bit of an alcohol problem, and is almost never seen outside work without a drink in hand
* '''That's Racist''' - Reilan has prejudices against the other races, believing Elezen to be the one true race ordained by the Twelve to rule Eorzea
* '''Bloody Fanaticism''' - Reilan is a strict adherent of Halone, and adjusts his moral compass according to her teachings and the word of the Church, instead of social norm

==Other Notes==
===Religion===
Adherent of the Ishgardian Orthodoxy
===Quirks===
Reilan is capable of very flowery speech when attempting to impress, sway, or intimidate. Once around people he is comfortable with, however, he will slip into a more common Eorzean dialect. He is also an unabashed flirt and rogue but will never bring it any further than that (previously due to simple disinterest once his target has been effectively wooed, but now he will not follow through out of faithfulness to Sophine).
===Equipment===
When in "work mode" he will always carry his trusty blade and kite shield as well as a satchel full of assorted necessities for long periods of time in the field. When in casual dress he prefers a gil pouch and bottle of rum, with small daggers hidden for protection, should he need them.
===Rumours===
The following rumours can be heard about Reilan, predominantly in Ishgard. (If your character has an opinion about him, feel free to add it here.)

====Common rumours====
* "I heard his sister took her own life after being excommunicated. Serves her right, after what she did."
* "His father was a heretic leader. Dead now, but no one knows how or who did it."
* "He works as a sellsword now. What an ignoble profession for one of Ishgard's knights."

====Uncommon rumours====
* "I heard it was him who killed his father. Stabbed him right in the back without a hint of remorse."
* "He's a playboy, he is. Sleeps with any wench who will look at him!"

====Rare rumours====
* "If you ask me, it was all a big ploy and he still works for the church. Can't say what he'd be doing though."

====What PCs are saying====


===Known Haunts===
You might have run into or otherwise know NAME from:

* The Drowning Wench
* The Quicksand
* The Carline Canopy
* Seventh Heaven

===OOC Inspirations===

"It is without question a necessary area of study, history. Without its bevy of knowledge gleaned from the successes and failings of our ancestors, we are, as one people of Hydaelyn, doomed to repeat mistakes which saw the felling of great empires like Allag, Nym, and Sharlayan. In accompaniment of this, Arcanima is without question one of the greatest tools of historical study, and without it I would not be half the expert on the archaeological history of Eorzea that I am today."

==Appearance==
Once quite lanky and short, even by Miqo'te standards, K'hane's time as a Master of Mysterium and her pregnancy have left her slightly more plump than before. Her hair is a deep midnight blue and her eyes a faintly luminescent grayish-blue. She prefers large, flowing robes and her glasses are somewhat too big for her face.

==History==
K'hane Tariq (koo-AH-na ta-REEK) was born to a Seeker father and Keeper mother in Limsa Lominsa and led a very boring, normal life up until the Calamity. She excelled in studies and was found to have a knack for Arcanima at a young age. Her brilliance earned her the respect of her teachers, and though her family was not the richest fishing family in Limsa, she enjoyed a comfortable life nonetheless. When the Calamity struck, she escaped north with her family, fleeing Bahamut's destruction. Upon their return to Limsa, K'hane's father found work helping to rebuild the city, while K'hane herself became a proper Arcanist, registering with the local Arcanist's Guild and beginning her career in archaeology.

Five years later, she was working on an excavation with two partners and her then-student Ildin when they entered a recently-discovered catacomb that was dug out under where they had been digging. During the investigation of the monolithic structure they were attacked by otherworldly enemies, skeletons, and zombies. K'hane's partners were slain by the creatures, along with several workers, and Ildin sacrificed himself so that K'hane could escape. Shortly thereafter she joined Mysterium.
==Personality==
At one time, K'hane was timid, shy, and incredibly naive. She spoke rarely and when she did speak it was softly and with a not-unnoticeable stutter. However, she has recently begun to inexplicably develop a haughty, arrogant, aggressive attitude and will often bicker and argue with anyone for the sake of it. She exhibits a somewhat domineering attitude over her husband, and her anti-social behavior is more malicious than academic now.
==Affiliations and Known Associates==
* [[Sazhi'to Bajhiri]] -- Once K'hane's student, now her life-mate and father of Nuali, K'hane trusts Sazhi'to above anyone else.
* [[Nuali Tariq]] -- K'hane and Sazhi'to's infant daughter. She has Sazhi's hair and eyes, and K'hane's nose and face shape.
* [[Clalaris Sil Laris]] -- K'hane's best friend and fellow Mysterium wizard, K'hane trusts Clalaris almost as implicitly as she does Sazhi'to, and leans on Clalaris (metaphorically speaking) for support and kinship.
* [[Seth Honeybrew]] -- A fellow Master of Mysterium, K'hane finds Seth to be abrasive, rude, racist, sexist, narcissistic, and insufferable. He is one of her closest friends.
* [[L'yhta Mahre]] -- Another of K'hane's peers in Mysterium, she once viewed L'yhta as a mentor but now views her as an equal. She believes L'yhta to be brash and impulsive and she thinks L'yhta is living far below her potential, which irks K'hane, but she nevertheless considers Mahre a friend.
* [[Eamont Desormaux]] -- The Voice of Mysterium, K'hane looks up to Eamont as a leader and a role model. She respects him without question.
* [[Rosamund Cartwright]] -- A fellow of Mysterium, K'hane considers "Roz" a good friend, if a bit infuriating at times.
* [[Paran Hywel]] -- Fellow of Mysterium, Roz's fiancee, and K'hane's new student. He is somewhat of a blank canvas to her, though he seems to be opening up to her more now that she is his master.
* [[Nathalanee Reinhart]] -- Nath is somewhat of an enigma to K'hane. She usually only sees Nath when she's with L'yhta and the two rarely converse. When they do speak it is almost always amicable, so K'hane has more of a favorable opinion of Nath than not.
* [[Deitrych Brownlowe]] -- K'hane steers clear of this sneaky bounty hunter. She doesn't trust him one bit, and is convinced he has sinister ulterior motives.

** '''Nameday''': 9th day of the 6th Umbral Moon

* Vegetables with strong flavors
* When Seth infers dirty things about Nuali

===Areas of Expertise===
* '''Martial''': Arcanima, Summoning, Archery
* '''Crafting''': None
* '''Other''': Archaeology, History

===Strengths===
* Legacy of Allag - K'hane has extensively studied the Allagans, and mastered the Allagan art of Summoning.
* Glyphmaster - K'hane is extraordinarily skilled with arcane magic and can estimate equations and geometric patterns well enough to cast arcane magic without creating runes and glyphs.
* Hey, Einstein - K'hane is gifted with extraordinary intellect, near genius levels.
* Matriarch - Being mated and bearing a child has awoken K'hane's Keeper instincts, making her more authoritative and protective.

===Weaknesses===
* Brittle - K'hane is not a peak physical specimen, and if engaged in melee combat, will falter quickly.
* I Dropped Something - Despite her prowess with magic, K'hane is very clumsy and often has her head in the clouds.
* T-t-t-today Junior! - Despite no real physical speech impediments, K'hane's social anxiety gives her a slight stutter.
* Let Me In - K'hane's past and frail willpower makes her susceptible to possession by Voidsent.

==Other Notes==
===Religion===
K'hane follows her mother's example and worships Menphina.
===Quirks===
Her ear twitches wildly when she is deep in thought.
===Equipment===
Robes with some leather armament for added protection, and an Allagan summoning tome she found on an excavation. When hunting, she prefers simple tunics with stitched leather, and a longbow.
===Rumours===
The following rumours can be heard about K'hane, predominantly in Limsa Lominsa. (If your character has an opinion about her, feel free to add it here as well.)

====Common rumours====
* "The Tariq girl? I know her pa, good fisherman, he is. Daughter's a strange li'l scamp, though. Used to run 'round town with her nose in a bloody book, like readin'll ever get ye anywhere." - '''Bawdy Lalafellan Fishmonger'''
* "Every so often she comes 'round me stall an pokes a bit at me wares, mutters to 'erself, then floats off. Don't think she's ever said two words ta me." - '''Bemused Roegadyn Merchant'''
* "Dunno 'ow many times we'd hear explosions comin' from the ol' Tariq place. Blow holes in the ruddy roof, she would, with all 'er magickin' an' shite. Shoulda stuck ta the bloody business like 'er pa." - '''Angry Hyuran Neighbor'''

====Uncommon rumours====
* "She's got a dark aura about her, that's for sure. Doesn't fit right with her personality though." - '''Miqo'te Fortune-Teller of Questionable Authenticity'''
* "I see 'er dancin' in the moonlight from time ta time, near nude as the day she was born. Miqo'te, go figure." - '''Shameless Lalafellan Peeping Tom'''

====Rare rumours====
* "I saw her muttering and making runes I've never seen in all my years as an Arcanist. They looked old and... dark. Whatever she's playing with, it'll end in naught but disaster." - '''Veteran Arcanist Guild Member'''
