==History==

Sthalwilf Maemrstymmwyn, as her name suggests, is the daughter of Hammer Voice and noted piratess Eyriswerd Keltkhan AKA "Grinning Eyri", captain of The Midnight Kestrel. Steel's life growing up in the thalassocracy was unremarkable by Lominsan standards. Her father was delighted when his baby daughter grasped for his smithing hammer when she was a toddler, and he set to involving her in his trade at every opportunity. Her interest in the arts of armorsmithing and swordplay led her into full training in swordsmanship and light training in armorsmithing, though she was never fully admitted as a member of Naldiq and Vymelli's. Despite this, she embroiled herself in her training and grew up into a powerful example of the Roegadyn race.

Steel Wolf had no aspirations beyond living her days out in Limsa Lominsa until she had met a Roegadyn man named White Stream. The two had a practically idyllic romance penned by bards--their connection was immediate, and the courtship whirlwind. A student of Naldiq and Vymelli's, their shared desire to become the finest smiths in Limsa Lominsa was one of many passions they shared.

Shortly after White Stream was granted the clearance to open his own armory, the two of them married and they set to pulling together the funds to create Steel Wolf Arms--a armorsmith shop named in her honor. To fund the venture, the pair took to adventuring, keeping themselves to leves and security needs of the greater La Noscean area.

The days leading to Dalamud's descent saw White Stream being called to further lands and more dangerous exploits, while Steel continued to aid the defense of La Noscea. Finally, on the eve of the Battle of Carteneau, White Stream was called away to bolster the ranks of the Maelstrom. Despite her protests and her own substantial skill, she was ordered to sequester herself into shelter.

White Stream would never return.

After the rebuilding efforts began to bear fruit, and Steel Wolf was granted time to mourn her slain husband, she began to re-focus her efforts on the original plan the couple had made. Presenting herself to Naldiq and Vymelli's for official training, she began the long process to becoming a recognized armorsmith of the Guild.

Today, she continues her personal quest to see her fallen husband's wishes come true, as well as renewing herself to the cause of liberty for all of Eorzea which he died for. To supplement her schooling, she has once more taken up adventuring, offering herself to the Maelstrom's service. Day by day, she begins to hear the siren call of adventure in lands across the realm, her attentions slowly moving from building shields to becoming one.

==Personality==
Despite the tragedies she had faced at the fall of Dalamud, Steel Wolf remains overall upbeat and optimistic. She is almost always wearing a smile or a smirk of some kind, and is usually ready with a quip or a joke, good or bad, wanted or not. As a product of both Hellsguard and Sea Wolf rearing, she is almost always at odds with her duality in terms of how she presents herself: one moment she'll joke and brag, another moment she'll become reserved and incredibly polite. Even her speaking is caught in between the seafaring brogue inherent of Lominsans and the measured, clear speech of the Hellsguard.

When in battle, Steel's attitude completely changes. Levity gives way to cold precision, and she usually is laser focused on taking down those who threaten the ones she's charged to protect or who would threaten her personally. Years of training with the sword and shield have allowed her to gather and cut down foes with relative ease, and her keen sense of battlefield awareness lends her to being the front of the charge.

Recent personal events have begun to darken Steel's overall demeanour. An attack during a personal anniversary at the lichyard and time spent with the Amalj'aa has shown her some of the darker aspects of the world and herself, and has opened her mind to the concepts of focused rage and cold assault over valiance. As such, she has recently been seen hefting a large axe and carrying herself with a greater sense of power. She has not turned away from the plights of the realm, but she has adjusted away from the concepts of heroism and leaned more into the realm of aggressive force and doing what must be done at all costs.

==Affiliations and Known Associates==
Steel has a loose association with the Maelstrom, operating under conscription than any part of the official rank and file. She has recently been employed by the Night Blades, a group of clandestine treasure seekers.

==Other Notes==
===Religion===
Steel is generally agnostic, choosing to not directly revere the Twelve. Her life has been self-focused, and the machinations of gil and its use for survival have her worshipping hunt and job boards over deities.

===Equipment===
Steel is a small mobile fortress, of sorts, seen often in heavy armor and axe, with her chocobo Guldblyss laden with a large enough pack to see her through long trips across Eorzea for weeks at a time away from an established camp.

Steel Wolf is a roleplaying character for the MMO game Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. As of the writing of this wiki, she is my first and only character ever made for the game, and is the first character ever to have achieved max level in the game.

===Basic Info===
====Appearance & Details====
<b>Birth Name:</b> Sthalwilf Haemrstymmwyn
<br>
<b>Nicknames:</b> Steel Wolf, Steel
<br>
<b>Height:</b> 7 fulms, 10 ilms
<br>
<b>Weight:</b> approx. 220 ponz
<br>
<b>Hair color:</b> black with pink-purple ends
<br>
<b>Eye color:</b> yellow
<p>
Steel Wolf is the stereotypical Roegadyn woman in build and body--tall, pale, and powerfully built. Her arms and shoulders specifically are broad and heavily defined as a result of her time spent at the forge. Her stride exudes a confident air, but one earned in field and forge and not of arrogance. She doesn't consider herself physically attractive, but she will generally gloss over this insecurity with a loud boast of her wiles if the situation warrants. Her skin is otherwise unblemished, save for a small scar over her left eye--a result of a training accident when she was 18.

====Combat Classes====
Steel Wolf started as a Free Paladin, but has just recently forsaken the tenents of Paladinhood in favor of the brutality and focused rage of the Marauder's Guild training, and the use of the axe has become her primary weapon.

Overall, Steel's proficiency with the tools of war is nearly absolute. Having been surrounded by swords and armor her entire life, and having trained in the use of the weapon as early as 10, she feels most at ease with a sword in hand. Her martial prowess can extend outward into other weapons as well, namely the Lance and Axe. She had attempted to become acclimated to other weapon disciplines, but the bow she was granted snapped in her hand at draw, and her grasp of pugilism is rudimentary at best, allowing her only knowledge enough to manage a tavern brawl.

Her skill with magic is slightly better than her grasp of archery and pugilism, but only by virtue of the fact that she uses a grimoire to write notes, spells and incantations down. This need for constant reference makes her a slower caster than others who can feel the flow of aether more naturally, and has led to her mistakenly freezing or singing herself or a completely wayward target. Regardless, she still tries to become better at the disciplines of magic, in hopes to supplement her field prowess in some manner.

====Gathering and Crafting====
Steel Wolf has grown up and lived the life of an Armorsmith for years, so her vocation was laid out for her almost immediately. Her father and her late husband both made their living crafting armor, and so she has taken to the craft with gusto, supplementing the knowledge with some standard leathercrafting and some minor training with the Goldsmithing guild to better craft fine details and filigree. She also had taken some time attempting to learn clothcraft, but her inability to grasp basic precepts of the trade left her to forego her training, particularly after an incident resulting in a failed tabard stitching.

===History===
====Early Life and Family====
Sthalwilf Maemrstymmwyn, as her name suggests, is the daughter of Hammer Voice and noted piratess Eyriswerd Keltkhan AKA "Grinning Eyri", captain of The Midnight Kestrel. Steel's life growing up in the thalassocracy was unremarkable by Lominsan standards. Her father was delighted when his baby daughter grasped for his smithing hammer when she was a toddler, and he set to involving her in his trade at every opportunity. Her interest in the arts of armorsmithing and swordplay led her into full training in swordsmanship and light training in armorsmithing, though she was never fully admitted as a member of Naldiq and Vymelli's. Despite this, she embroiled herself in her training and grew up into a powerful example of the Roegadyn race.

====Pre-Calamity====
Steel Wolf had no aspirations beyond living her days out in Limsa Lominsa until she had met a Roegadyn man named White Stream. The two had a practically idyllic romance penned by bards--their connection was immediate, and the courtship whirlwind. A student of Naldiq and Vymelli's, their shared desire to become the finest smiths in Limsa Lominsa was one of many passions they shared.

Shortly after White Stream was granted the clearance to open his own armory, the two of them married and they set to pulling together the funds to create Steel Wolf Arms--a armorsmith shop named in her honor. To fund the venture, the pair took to adventuring, keeping themselves to leves and security needs of the greater La Noscean area.

The days leading to Dalamud's descent saw White Stream being called to further lands and more dangerous exploits, while Steel continued to aid the defense of La Noscea. Finally, on the eve of the Battle of Carteneau, White Stream was called away to bolster the ranks of the Maelstrom. Despite her protests and her own substantial skill, she was ordered to sequester herself into shelter.

White Stream would never return.

====Post-Calamity====
After the rebuilding efforts began to bear fruit, and Steel Wolf was granted time to mourn her slain husband, she began to re-focus her efforts on the original plan the couple had made. Presenting herself to Naldiq and Vymelli's for official training, she began the long process to becoming a recognized armorsmith of the Guild.

Today, she continues her personal quest to see her fallen husband's wishes come true, as well as renewing herself to the cause of liberty for all of Eorzea which he died for. To supplement her schooling, she has once more taken up adventuring, offering herself to the Maelstrom's service. Day by day, she begins to hear the siren call of adventure in lands across the realm, her attentions slowly moving from building shields to becoming one.

===Personality===
Despite the tragedies she had faced at the fall of Dalamud, Steel Wolf remains overall upbeat and optimistic. She is almost always wearing a smile or a smirk of some kind, and is usually ready with a quip or a joke, good or bad, wanted or not. As a product of both Hellsguard and Sea Wolf rearing, she is almost always at odds with her duality in terms of how she presents herself: one moment she'll joke and brag, another moment she'll become reserved and incredibly polite. Even her speaking is caught in between the seafaring brogue inherent of Lominsans and the measured, clear speech of the Hellsguard.

When in battle, Steel's attitude completely changes. Levity gives way to cold precision, and she usually is laser focused on taking down those who threaten the ones she's charged to protect or who would threaten her personally. Years of training with the sword and shield have allowed her to gather and cut down foes with relative ease, and her keen sense of battlefield awareness lends her to being the front of the charge.

Recent personal events have begun to darken Steel's overal demeanour. An attack during a personal anniversary at the lichyard and time spent with the Amalj'aa has shown her some of the darker aspects of the world and herself, and has opened her mind to the concepts of focused rage and cold assault over valiance. As such, she has recently been seen hefting a large axe and carrying herself with a greater sense of power. She has not turned away from the plights of the realm, but she has adjusted away from the concepts of heroism and leaned more into the realm of aggressive force and doing what must be done at all costs.

===Affiliations===
Steel has a loose affiliation with the Maelstrom, but otherwise has no other ties to any group.

Steel Wolf is the stereotypical Roegadyn woman in build and body--tall, pale, and powerfully built. Her arms and shoulders specifically are broad and heavily defined as a result of her time spent at the forge. Her stride exudes a confident air, but one earned in field and forge and not of arrogance. She doesn't consider herself physically attractive, but she will generally gloss over this insecurity with a loud boast of her wiles if the situation warrants. Her skin is otherwise unblemished, save for a small scar over her left eye--a result of a training accident when she was 18.

====Combat Classes====
Steel Wolf started as a Free Paladin, but has just recently forsaken the tenents of Paladinhood in favor of the brutality and focused rage of the Marauder's Guild training, and the use of the axe has become her primary weapon.

Overall, Steel's proficiency with the tools of war is nearly absolute. Having been surrounded by swords and armor her entire life, and having trained in the use of the weapon as early as 10, she feels most at ease with a sword in hand. Her martial prowess can extend outward into other weapons as well, namely the Lance and Axe. She had attempted to become acclimated to other weapon disciplines, but the bow she was granted snapped in her hand at draw, and her grasp of pugilism is rudimentary at best, allowing her only knowledge enough to manage a tavern brawl.

Her skill with magic is slightly better than her grasp of archery and pugilism, but only by virtue of the fact that she uses a grimoire to write notes, spells and incantations down. This need for constant reference makes her a slower caster than others who can feel the flow of aether more naturally, and has led to her mistakenly freezing or singing herself or a completely wayward target. Regardless, she still tries to become better at the disciplines of magic, in hopes to supplement her field prowess in some manner.

====Gathering and Crafting====
Steel Wolf has grown up and lived the life of an Armorsmith for years, so her vocation was laid out for her almost immediately. Her father and her late husband both made their living crafting armor, and so she has taken to the craft with gusto, supplementing the knowledge with some standard leathercrafting and some minor training with the Goldsmithing guild to better craft fine details and filigree. She also had taken some time attempting to learn clothcraft, but her inability to grasp basic precepts of the trade left her to forego her training, particularly after an incident resulting in a failed tabard stitching.

===History===
====Early Life and Family====
Sthalwilf Maemrstymmwyn, as her name suggests, is the daughter of Hammer Voice and noted piratess Eyriswerd Keltkhan AKA "Grinning Eyri", captain of The Midnight Kestrel. Steel's life growing up in the thalassocracy was unremarkable by Lominsan standards. Her father was delighted when his baby daughter grasped for his smithing hammer when she was a toddler, and he set to involving her in his trade at every opportunity. Her interest in the arts of armorsmithing and swordplay led her into full training in swordsmanship and light training in armorsmithing, though she was never fully admitted as a member of Naldiq and Vymelli's. Despite this, she embroiled herself in her training and grew up into a powerful example of the Roegadyn race.

====Pre-Calamity====
Steel Wolf had no aspirations beyond living her days out in Limsa Lominsa until she had met a Roegadyn man named White Stream. The two had a practically idyllic romance penned by bards--their connection was immediate, and the courtship whirlwind. A student of Naldiq and Vymelli's, their shared desire to become the finest smiths in Limsa Lominsa was one of many passions they shared.

Shortly after White Stream was granted the clearance to open his own armory, the two of them married and they set to pulling together the funds to create Steel Wolf Arms--a armorsmith shop named in her honor. To fund the venture, the pair took to adventuring, keeping themselves to leves and security needs of the greater La Noscean area.

The days leading to Dalamud's descent saw White Stream being called to further lands and more dangerous exploits, while Steel continued to aid the defense of La Noscea. Finally, on the eve of the Battle of Carteneau, White Stream was called away to bolster the ranks of the Maelstrom. Despite her protests and her own substantial skill, she was ordered to sequester herself into shelter.

White Stream would never return.

====Post-Calamity====
After the rebuilding efforts began to bear fruit, and Steel Wolf was granted time to mourn her slain husband, she began to re-focus her efforts on the original plan the couple had made. Presenting herself to Naldiq and Vymelli's for official training, she began the long process to becoming a recognized armorsmith of the Guild.

Today, she continues her personal quest to see her fallen husband's wishes come true, as well as renewing herself to the cause of liberty for all of Eorzea which he died for. To supplement her schooling, she has once more taken up adventuring, offering herself to the Maelstrom's service. Day by day, she begins to hear the siren call of adventure in lands across the realm, her attentions slowly moving from building shields to becoming one.

===Personality===
Despite the tragedies she had faced at the fall of Dalamud, Steel Wolf remains overall upbeat and optimistic. She is almost always wearing a smile or a smirk of some kind, and is usually ready with a quip or a joke, good or bad, wanted or not. As a product of both Hellsguard and Sea Wolf rearing, she is almost always at odds with her duality in terms of how she presents herself: one moment she'll joke and brag, another moment she'll become reserved and incredibly polite. Even her speaking is caught in between the seafaring brogue inherent of Lominsans and the measured, clear speech of the Hellsguard.

When in battle, Steel's attitude completely changes. Levity gives way to cold precision, and she usually is laser focused on taking down those who threaten the ones she's charged to protect or who would threaten her personally. Years of training with the sword and shield have allowed her to gather and cut down foes with relative ease, and her keen sense of battlefield awareness lends her to being the front of the charge.

An attack during a personal anniversary at the lichyard and time spent with the Amalj'aa has shown her some of the darker aspects of the world and herself, and has opened her mind to the concepts of focused rage and cold assault over valiance. As such, she has recently been seen hefting a large axe and carrying herself with a greater sense of power. She has not turned away from the plights of the realm, but she has adjusted away from the concepts of heroism and leaned more into the realm of aggressive force and doing what must be done at all costs.
