Seitsuda Gladepetal is a wandering vagrant in search of aiding the downtrodden. The Au Ra has a penchant for disassociation and does not go by his true name, making him a most curious mystery to those who receive his help.

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

This Au Ra has traversed more of the great land of Eorzea than most of his kind, having a string of awful luck to be washed up on its shores only a summer prior to the Calamity.

Not much can be said of his past prior to waking on the shores of Eorzea, or he'd rather care not to tell. Based on his solitary lifestyle, it's an easy guess he may have been something of an outcast from the mountains he hailed from in a far off land. His time in Eorzea only instigated that more.

In the majestic green mountains of Coerthas is where Seitsuda first found himself-- lost, confused, and very, very alone. With very little than what he came with, he barely survived on his own in the new lands. The au ra was soon found by an Ishgardian woman who also seemed to wander in solitude. Being a man of few words, he learned more about the woman than she did of him. She claimed herself an outcast as well, believing in something that most could not, and that her people were living in lies. However much truth there was to that, the woman showed herself more unstable by the day, even moreso as the Calamity struck and harsh snow fell upon Coerthas. In such desperate times, she grew more dependent on Seitsuda, and he cared for her more and more, until one day, her desires went further.

Seitsuda had his first encounter of being mistaken as Dravanian then, when the woman begged him to bless her with his blood and gift. Frightened and confused, Seitsuda didn't know what to do with her-- a stranger he slowly grew to put trust in. Her desperations turned to violence against the Au Ra, with the intent of drawing blood herself. Ultimately, he was freed of the woman by a freak accident buried in harsh blizzards.

Mostly unscathed, Seitsuda fled further into the mountains. For a time, he did well to be alone and evade any others, until he was found by the most unlikely of eorzeans-- a brilliant gold chocobo with white-tipped feathers. The creature suffered her own injuries from a hunt, and astounded by such a creature, Seitsuda cared for her. When both were fit and healthy once again, their travels took them to a stark contrast from the mountains, and into the scorching deserts of Thanalan.

Seitsuda and his avian companion, Magnolia, spent the rest of the recent cycles in Thanalan. The au ra heavily concealed himself since his nightmarish encounter in Coerthas, so he may easily be mistaken for something he's not. It was there Seitsuda found his next Eorzean acquaintance that soon grew to a mentor figure. That mentor, Dogwood Glade, an elderly Hellsguard fellow, was the second to discover Seitsuda for what he truly was. The pair grew close, as Glade taught Seitsuda more to the Lance than the young man learned on his own overseas. The giant of a burly man passed away only a few cycles after the Calamity, and Seitsuda inherited his halberd.

In recent times, the au ra wandered without purpose, lending his lance to aid those in need with little of a thought for himself. He had seen enough suffering in the world to know that it will always be there, and any one man can make a difference.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Appearance & Personality</div>===
:
Seistuda is a tall, scruffy man of an au ra. He continues to wear loose-fitting and many, many layers of clothes and scarves. His windblown, straw-yellow hair is tipped with green. The horns adorn on this Au Ra carry a sharpness to their slope, and two pairs of small, black horns rest at the back of his skull. Perhaps he keeps his hair long and shaggy for a reason.

What can be seen of his gaze is a rich brown hue, carried typically with a gentle expression. Scales of pale gold mask over his cheek bones and jaw. A small scale dots each brow.

Beyond appearance, the au ra is a very quiet, meek man who often looms in the back of a conversation. He speaks softly most times, he's very much a gentle softy if he isn't wielding his lance to defend others. When push comes to shove and the man must defend himself or others though, Seitsuda carries an air of serious determination and would be hard to shake of his resolve.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Miscellaneous</div>===
● The ocean is an unsettling thing for Seitsuda, still after all these cycles...<br>
● He spoils his chocobo, and in turn his chocobo returns the affection with hair preening.<br>
● May have a musical talent, he has a knack for humming and whistling.<br>
● Although he still holds faith in the Dawn Father and Dusk mother, Seitsuda respects the Twelve, and mostly looks to Oschon.<br>

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Siha Xinkei]] : A gentle Keeper of the Moon that Seitsuda first met in the covered shelter of Thal's Respite. Words of encouragement and requests were exchanged in such a gloomy place, and it was Siha that led Seitsuda to aid the Dauntless in their endeavors. Suns later, he discovered Siha had been missing, and he aided the remaining members of the Dauntless to find her and others with her. As more time passed with trials to face, members of the Dauntless were reunited. The Au Ra still has an awkward air about him, but it calms in her presence. Seitsuda sees much of himself in the woman, vague as words are, he feels some life experiences are not so different than hers. He finds relief in her safety, and she has the most of anyone in his tolerance to personal space invasion.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Osric Melkire]] : One of the first members of the Dauntless that Seitsuda met per Siha's request. Seitsuda appreciates the mindfulness the Sergeant carries in regards to his personal space. The Au Ra still considers himself quite a stranger to the Hyur and his wife, but appreciates their patience with his solitude and concern for his well-being all the same. Their time together in search of the others has helped Seitsuda trust a little more, and someday grow to call them friends.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Kanaria Melkire]] : Another member of the Dauntless that Seitsuda belatedly discovered to be Osric's wife. He was nothing but skittish with the woman to start, worried more for her in the presence of a strange, unfamiliar person. Her kindness and patience with him helped his solitary lifestyle immensely, enough so, that rather than avoid them out of courtesy during down time, Seitsuda would be there to enjoy their company together. He still has an awkward habit of calling her Miss though.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Endemerrin Rosethorne]] : Seitsuda has quickly found trust in the miqo'te and his assertiveness to the situation that reunited the Dauntless after an arduous journey for all. He appreciates Endemerrin's forwardness, and takes comfort in the care he expresses for others.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font>[[Mikh'a Korofi]] : Seitsuda first met this miqo'te after a long-awaited reunion between members of the Dauntless and overcoming the trials they faced. He's since only seen Mikh'a as an assertive and selfless young miqo'te. Traits to admire, only if they wouldn't lead to something damaging. The calico has an understanding for his personal-space dilemma, and Seitsuda hasn't been so dense not to see his good intention. It's appreciated, and in turn, he quietly watches over Mikh'a.

: <font style="color:#9c9c9c;" size="3">●</font>[[Yorumei Uranakei]] : At first, the fellow au ra terrified him when Seitsuda set foot in a little shop settled in the Lavender Beds. He hadn't expected his kind to be so settled in. However, Yorumei and his associates expressed patience with their unnerved customer. Seitsuda still carries a debt to them. Yorumei and Seitsuda have only crossed paths once since, where Seitsuda stuck his scaly nose into Elezen conflicts in the Shroud, and Yorumei vehemently came to his aid. However appreciative to the aid, Yorumei's suggestion to meet again soon after settling that conflict sent Seitsuda to flee the opportunity... for now.

: <font style="color:#9c9c9c;" size="3">●</font>[[Sasazi Sazi]] : Another Dauntless member that he helped search for. Recent developments has him concerned and curious for the lalafell-- wondering what it would be like to apparently be set in such a way, and for that to change? Other than that, he prays the little lady doesn't remember any moments of him holding her like a swaddled babe.

: <font style="color:#9c9c9c;" size="3">●</font>[[Evangeline Primrose]] : He doesn't quite know what to make of this Dauntless member just yet. She's a very quirky woman with absolutely no regard to personal space. However, she did help in their search for the missing friends, so he'll put faith in that she can be trustworthy.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font>[[Tsaganarii Dhoro]] : The first au ra for him to meet so far that hasn't made him run for the hills. Their chance meeting came from a mandragora falling from the sky. Speaking with her lifted a great weight off his shoulders, and while they're still acquaintances, he feels less alone in ''just what he is''. He isn't one to admit, but what they share in common, drives him to be protective whenever they may meet again.
