''['''Last Update:''' 01/30/2017]''
 
Syerra Faolchu is a young [[Miqo'te]] Relic Hunter, living and working out of [[Ul'dah]]. She is a former Lieutenant with the [[Immortal Flames]] and a member of the Green Goobbue Army mercenary company.
 
<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #caecff;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">'''Appearance'''</div>

: ■Height: 5 Fulms 0 Ilms
: ■Weight: 98 Ponz
: ■Build: Petite, but Lightly Muscular
: ■Skin: Light, Sun-kissed
: ■Hair: Auburn with White Streaks
: ■Eyes: Emerald Green

 
Syerra is a petite Miqo'te with the physical traits of the Seekers of the Sun. Small in both build and stature, it was easy to mistake her for a boy when she was a child. As an adult, she has learned to dress to accent what feminine features she has.

Her face is round, with distinctly feline features. Bright eyes watch the world around her with scrutiny and curiosity, while her ears flick to pick up pieces of conversations, ever searching for the next lead on an adventure. Her auburn hair is worn long and often pulled back, and is accented by white streaks, where the pigment has been lost entirely.

Her skin is light in tone though tanned gently by the Thanalan sun, and she bears a number of scars from battles past. The most notable of which, she keeps hidden beneath high necklines or wide collars: A deep gauge that traverses her throat from one side to the other. The scar tells the story of a life-ending wound crudely and impatiently healed by magic, its edges rough and patchy. Though clearly inexperienced, whoever healed her quite obviously saved her life.

Her armor is of an excellent quality and is remarkably well kept. She takes great pride in her appearance and it shows. Her makeup is applied with a delicate hand, never worn ostentatiously, and while the clothes she wears are of a fine quality, they are never gaudy or over-done.

When found outside of an adventure, she will likely be wearing a pair of silver framed glasses, used primarily for reading.
 

<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #caecff;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">'''Inventory'''</div>
Clothing, Armor and Accessories: 
: ■Light Armor: Cloth and light leatherwork make up the majority of Syerra's daily wardrobe. 
: ■Wedding Ring: An elegant platinum ring with a twisting, vine-like design that holds two stones, one emerald green and the other pale blue. Syerra wears this on a silver chain around her neck, in remembrance of her late husband.
: ■Glasses: Unless on a dig or in combat, she is generally seen wearing a pair of thin-rimmed glasses. 
: ■Conjurer's Focus: Syerra has two of these. One is a small, carved bone rod, given to her by the Conjurers Guild. The other is a large, gilded metal staff. 
: ■Flowers: Once a gift for her every morning, Syerra makes sure to always have a flower in her hair (most often a lily or sakura blossom), unless she has removed them to keep them safe while she works. 
In Her Bags:
: ■Bandages, Potions and Tonics: Trained in the healing arts, Syerra keeps a small supply of medicines on her at all times, many of which she has crafted herself. 
: ■Leather Journal: A record of Syerra's life, travels and the ruins that she has explored. Dried Nymeia Lilies can be found pressed between several of the pages. 
: ■Portrait Sketch: Inside the front cover of her journal, folded neatly, is a sketch of herself and "Az" standing before the view of the falls at Senna's Pride. A gift from her former sister-in-law.
: ■Magitek Visor: Syerra uses this to track aether currents while digging through ruins. 

=Personality=
While friendly and helpful to a fault, Syerra can come off as distant or even cool to people who are meeting her for the first time. She will often keep silent, taking the time to learn about those around her before ever engaging them. This is not a rule, however, and there are always exceptions.

Once someone is familiar to her, she will allow her true colors to shine through. Beneath the exterior of caution, is an adventurous and tenacious spirit. Knowledge excites her and she is always eager to learn anything that anyone will teach her, most especially about history and the origins of the places she explores and the relics she recovers.

=Skills and Talents=

As an experienced relic hunter, Syerra excels at moving quickly and deftly, while keeping out of sight. While others of her skillset may have turned to thievery to increase their wealth, she prefers the challenge of facing the unknown depths of ruin and cave alike, seeking items that have not seen the light of the sun in many an Age.

In addition to her relic hunting skills, it has been noted that Syerra has a steady hand and a focus in the face of catastrophe that lends itself well to medics and healers. She has begun to study with the Conjurer's Guild of [[Gridania]], in an effort to expand on her knowledge of the healing arts and aetheric magic.

She already has a start with stitch-work, working for the Weaver's Guild when the mood presents itself.

 
<div style="padding:10px 15px;background: #caecff;font-size:14px;font-style:roman;color:#5F5F5F;">Weapons</div>
The only weapon Syerra is seen carrying is a staff that she uses as a channeling focus for her conjury. When in a fight, she tends to use her fists.

 
<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #b4e4ff;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Magic</div>
Syerra is currently training with the Conjurer's Guild in Gridania. As such, she has a knowledge of healing magics.

 
<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #a0dcff;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Crafting</div>
Syerra's steady hands and skill at stitching lend not only to medicine, but also a deft weaver.

=History=

Strangely named and Tribeless, Syerra Faolchu seems to be a Miqo'te with quite a past behind her. But whatever that past may be, she carries it safely kept, revealing it only to the closest of friends.

She lives the life of an adventurer, traveling across [[Eorzea]] in search of lost relics and her destiny -- and hoping that it comes with riches and glory attached. Or maybe just a warm meal and a hot bath at the end of a long day. 
 
<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #caecff;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">'''Childhood'''</div>

Nothing is publicly known about Syerra's childhood. As far as anyone can recall, she was first noticed in Ul'dah around the age of eight. A solitary child, it was unclear whether or not she was connected to any family in the city, though her appearance gave the impression that if she were, they were not a family of any means.
 
<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #caecff;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">'''Adolescence'''</div>

Throughout her early teens, Syerra made a name for herself as a 'finder of lost objects,' be they truly lost or simply "misplaced into the hands of another." In this way, she was able to scratch out a meager living for herself, though never enough to actually find stability.

As is often the case within the population of the poor and downtrodden, she faced abuses of various kind daily. While many centered on her social status or race and were little more than slights that she could ignore, others were far more cruel in their treatment and lashed out in ways that she rarely speaks of.

In 1572, as Dalamud had begun its descent, a then 15-year old Syerra found herself facing the very real possibility that her short, unhappy life was soon to be at an end. Like so many others, she prayed that day for some reprieve, to have the chance at a life that mattered. While she rarely speaks of how she survived the [[Garlean Empire]]'s attack on Ul'dah or Dalamud's fall, the most important thing is that she ''did''.
 
<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #caecff;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">'''Adulthood'''</div>

In the years following the Calamity, Syerra made good on her vow to fight for a life that matters. She joined up with the Immortal Flames of Ul'dah, putting her relic hunting skills to good use for the city she loves. In time, her soldier's pay was able to afford her a decent set of light armor and her reputation among the ranks began to grow.

=Organizations=

<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #caecff;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">'''The Immortal Flames'''</div>
[[File:Syerra03.png|right|thumb|250px|Syerra in her Uniform]]
Current Rank: Second Flame Lieutenant (Specialist) - Retired

Syerra joined the Immortal Flames just after the Calamity, as so many others did. Recognizing her skills outside of combat, she was enlisted as a Specialist under the command of Captain Lance Broderick.

Over the years, she grew close to her Captain, even chancing what might only barely be called a relationship, but when it became apparent that his feelings had grown stronger than her own, she respectfully ended their encounters, wishing instead to preserve their friendship. Rumors spread, however, that it was this relationship that earned her a quick rise through the ranks.

She remained within the Immortal Flames, serving with distinction, up until she was given a mission that she could not refuse; one that would send her from Eorzea for months, even years. During her time away, her husband died and Syerra returned before the mission was complete. Upon arriving back in Ul'dah, she turned in her immediate resignation, partially blaming her superiors for her loss.

: ■ "Don't underestimate that furry bitch. If you do, she'll beat you to the prize every time. But if you're smart, you can follow her in and let her do all the work. She's just one girl and easy to overpower." ~ ''Rival Relic Hunter''

: ■●[[Rhisdon Revenhart]]
<blockquote>After her husband's passing, Syerra found herself lost and without purpose. She made her way to the mercenary company that he had worked for and, through a turn of events, ended up signing on herself. That was where she met Rhisdon. A complicated man, with a deep pain of his own, he found himself able to open up to Syerra's gentle nature and she was able to find in him a companion to heal alongside. Over time the two realized that they offered one another something else as well: hope.
Careful to take things slowly, they began to explore the possibility of a relationship beyond mere friendship. </blockquote>
: ■ ⚭ ☠ "Az"
<blockquote>As a self-styled "Prince of Fools", the Keeper originally caught only negative attention from Syerra. She was cautious of him, repelled by the forwardness he displayed upon their first meeting. It was only after crossing paths with him again that she began to realize that the Fool was simply a mask he wore, the kind designed to keep those around him at arm's length. Over time, however, she came to know the man beneath the Fool's mask and found a surprisingly valuable and trusted friend, an attentive lover, and someone with whom she can share her heart fully.
On the 14th Sun of the Second Umbral Moon (04/13) of last cycle, under the grace of Nymeia, Syerra and "Az" were wed before a gathering of their family and closest friends. Later that same year, he passed back into the Lifestream, but before he fell he granted his wife one last dream made reality: Syerra learned that she was with child just two weeks after his death.
(( I realize that the original player has retconned this character, but Syerra's past remains unchanged. I will respect the player's decision by using only the nickname (without links) and only referencing the character where necessary for Syerra's story. This version of "Az" can be assumed to be an NPC and in no way related to any player character bearing the same name. ))</blockquote>

At their wedding, the bard made good on his offer, singing an updated version of her late husband's poem as a gift to the newlyweds. Since her husband's passing, Syerra has asked their dear friend to be a part of her and her child's life, acting as god-uncle.</blockquote>

=OOC=

As a roleplayer, I have more than twenty years of experience in everything from tabletop to MMOs. Several of my current RP campaigns have been running for five years or more, so if you want a long-term story, I'm in. I'm looking to build epic storylines with others who are interested in staying in it for the long haul. One shots, while fun, are not my primary focus.

My roleplaying post style is full paragraph, but I will cut it down in situations where there are larger groups together. I am most comfortable in settings of no more than 2-3 players in addition to myself, but that being said, who doesn't love a party? Please don't ever feel afraid to approach, as I am almost always In Character.

I am a mature player and erotic RP is not out of the question, should it fit my character and her storyline. Relationships are also an open possibility, but again, it's based on what is appropriate for my character and her personality.

Syerra is a petite Miqo'te with the physical traits of the Seekers of the Sun. Small in both build and stature, it was easy to mistake her for a boy when she was a child. As an adult, she has learned to dress to accent what feminine features she has.

Her face is round, with distinctly feline features. Bright eyes watch the world around her with scrutiny and curiosity, while her ears flick to pick up pieces of conversations, ever searching for the next lead on an adventure. Her auburn hair is worn long and often pulled back, and is accented by white streaks, where the pigment has been lost entirely.

Her skin is light in tone though tanned gently by the Thanalan sun, and she bears a number of scars from battles past. The most notable of which, she keeps hidden beneath high necklines or wide collars: A deep gauge that traverses her throat from one side to the other. The scar tells the story of a life-ending wound crudely and impatiently healed by magic, its edges rough and patchy. Though clearly inexperienced, whoever healed her quite obviously saved her life.

Her armor is of an excellent quality and is remarkably well kept. She takes great pride in her appearance and it shows. Her makeup is applied with a delicate hand, never worn ostentatiously, and while the clothes she wears are of a fine quality, they are never gaudy or over-done.

When found outside of an adventure, she will likely be wearing a pair of silver framed glasses, used primarily for reading.

Clothing, Armor and Accessories: 
: ■Light Armor: Cloth and light leatherwork make up the majority of Syerra's daily wardrobe. 
: ■Wedding Ring: An elegant platinum ring with a twisting, vine-like design that holds two stones, one emerald green and the other pale blue. Syerra wears this on a silver chain around her neck, in remembrance of her late husband.
: ■Glasses: Unless on a dig or in combat, she is generally seen wearing a pair of thin-rimmed glasses. 
: ■Conjurer's Focus: Syerra has two of these. One is a small, carved bone rod, given to her by the Conjurers Guild. The other is a large, gilded metal staff. 
: ■Flowers: Once a gift for her every morning, Syerra makes sure to always have a flower in her hair (most often a lily or sakura blossom), unless she has removed them to keep them safe while she works. 
In Her Bags:
: ■Bandages, Potions and Tonics: Trained in the healing arts, Syerra keeps a small supply of medicines on her at all times, many of which she has crafted herself. 
: ■Leather Journal: A record of Syerra's life, travels and the ruins that she has explored. Dried Nymeia Lilies can be found pressed between several of the pages. 
: ■Portrait Sketch: Inside the front cover of her journal, folded neatly, is a sketch of herself and Az'rhyael standing before the view of the falls at Senna's Pride. A gift from her former sister-in-law.
: ■Magitek Visor: Syerra uses this to track aether currents while digging through ruins. 

=Personality=
While friendly and helpful to a fault, Syerra can come off as distant or even cool to people who are meeting her for the first time. She will often keep silent, taking the time to learn about those around her before ever engaging them. This is not a rule, however, and there are always exceptions.

Once someone is familiar to her, she will allow her true colors to shine through. Beneath the exterior of caution, is an adventurous and tenacious spirit. Knowledge excites her and she is always eager to learn anything that anyone will teach her, most especially about history and the origins of the places she explores and the relics she recovers.

=Skills and Talents=

As an experienced relic hunter, Syerra excels at moving quickly and deftly, while keeping out of sight. While others of her skillset may have turned to thievery to increase their wealth, she prefers the challenge of facing the unknown depths of ruin and cave alike, seeking items that have not seen the light of the sun in many an Age.

In addition to her relic hunting skills, it has been noted that Syerra has a steady hand and a focus in the face of catastrophe that lends itself well to medics and healers. She has begun to study with the Conjurer's Guild of [[Gridania]], in an effort to expand on her knowledge of the healing arts and aetheric magic.

She already has a start with stitch-work, working for the Weaver's Guild when the mood presents itself.

 
<div style="padding:10px 15px;background: #caecff;font-size:14px;font-style:roman;color:#5F5F5F;">Weapons</div>
The only weapon Syerra is seen carrying is a staff that she uses as a channeling focus for her conjury. When in a fight, she tends to use her fists.

 
<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #b4e4ff;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Magic</div>
Syerra is currently training with the Conjurer's Guild in Gridania. As such, she has a knowledge of healing magics.

 
<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #a0dcff;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Crafting</div>
Syerra's steady hands and skill at stitching lend not only to medicine, but also a deft weaver.

=History=

Strangely named and Tribeless, Syerra Faolchu seems to be a Miqo'te with quite a past behind her. But whatever that past may be, she carries it safely kept, revealing it only to the closest of friends.

She lives the life of an adventurer, traveling across [[Eorzea]] in search of lost relics and her destiny -- and hoping that it comes with riches and glory attached. Or maybe just a warm meal and a hot bath at the end of a long day. 
 
<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #caecff;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">'''Childhood'''</div>

Nothing is publicly known about Syerra's childhood. As far as anyone can recall, she was first noticed in Ul'dah around the age of eight. A solitary child, it was unclear whether or not she was connected to any family in the city, though her appearance gave the impression that if she were, they were not a family of any means.
 
<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #caecff;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">'''Adolescence'''</div>

Throughout her early teens, Syerra made a name for herself as a 'finder of lost objects,' be they truly lost or simply "misplaced into the hands of another." In this way, she was able to scratch out a meager living for herself, though never enough to actually find stability.

As is often the case within the population of the poor and downtrodden, she faced abuses of various kind daily. While many centered on her social status or race and were little more than slights that she could ignore, others were far more cruel in their treatment and lashed out in ways that she rarely speaks of.

In 1572, as Dalamud had begun its descent, a then 15-year old Syerra found herself facing the very real possibility that her short, unhappy life was soon to be at an end. Like so many others, she prayed that day for some reprieve, to have the chance at a life that mattered. While she rarely speaks of how she survived the [[Garlean Empire]]'s attack on Ul'dah or Dalamud's fall, the most important thing is that she ''did''.
 
<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #caecff;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">'''Adulthood'''</div>

In the years following the Calamity, Syerra made good on her vow to fight for a life that matters. She joined up with the Immortal Flames of Ul'dah, putting her relic hunting skills to good use for the city she loves. In time, her soldier's pay was able to afford her a decent set of light armor and her reputation among the ranks began to grow.

=Organizations=

<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #caecff;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">'''The Immortal Flames'''</div>
[[File:Syerra03.png|right|thumb|250px|Syerra in her Uniform]]
Current Rank: Second Flame Lieutenant (Specialist) - Retired

Syerra joined the Immortal Flames just after the Calamity, as so many others did. Recognizing her skills outside of combat, she was enlisted as a Specialist under the command of Captain Lance Broderick.

Over the years, she grew close to her Captain, even chancing what might only barely be called a relationship, but when it became apparent that his feelings had grown stronger than her own, she respectfully ended their encounters, wishing instead to preserve their friendship. Rumors spread, however, that it was this relationship that earned her a quick rise through the ranks.

She remained within the Immortal Flames, serving with distinction, up until she was given a mission that she could not refuse; one that would send her from Eorzea for months, even years. During her time away, her husband died and Syerra returned before the mission was complete. Upon arriving back in Ul'dah, she turned in her immediate resignation, partially blaming her superiors for her loss.

: ■ 💑 [[Rhisdon Revenhart]]
<blockquote>After her husband's passing, Syerra found herself lost and without purpose. She made her way to the mercenary company that he had worked for and, through a turn of events, ended up signing on herself. That was where she met Rhisdon. A complicated man, with a deep pain of his own, he found himself able to open up to Syerra's gentle nature and she was able to find in him a companion to heal alongside. Over time the two realized that they offered one another something else as well: hope.
Careful to take things slowly, they began to explore the possibility of a relationship beyond mere friendship.
After the birth of Syerra's daughter, Rhisdon promised that he would do everything in his power to make sure that they were both protected and cared for. His genuine desire to be a part of both of their lives, and his clear affection for them, has drawn Syerra ever closer to him. She has come to realize that the Twelve are giving her a second chance at happiness and she doesn't intend to take it for granted.</blockquote>

: ■ ⚭ ☠ "Az"
<blockquote>As a self-styled "Prince of Fools", the Keeper originally caught only negative attention from Syerra. She was cautious of him, repelled by the forwardness he displayed upon their first meeting. It was only after crossing paths with him again that she began to realize that the Fool was simply a mask he wore, the kind designed to keep those around him at arm's length. Over time, however, she came to know the man beneath the Fool's mask and found a surprisingly valuable and trusted friend, an attentive lover, and someone with whom she can share her heart fully.
On the 14th Sun of the Second Umbral Moon (04/13) of last cycle, under the grace of Nymeia, Syerra and "Az" were wed before a gathering of their family and closest friends. Later that same year, he passed back into the Lifestream, but before he fell he granted his wife one last dream made reality: Syerra learned that she was with child just two weeks after his death.
(( I realize that the original player has retconned this character, but Syerra's past remains unchanged. I will respect the player's decision by using only the nickname (without links) and only referencing the character where necessary for Syerra's story. This version of "Az" can be assumed to be an NPC and in no way related to any player character bearing the same name. ))</blockquote>

<blockquote>Zherra is Syerra's infant daughter and her greatest joy. The last gift of her late husband, Zherra is a living reminder of the love that they shared and a promise that, even in the darkest of times, life continues.
Clearly adoring her from even before her birth, Rhisdon has promised that Zherra will never have to grow up without a father figure in her life, though he would never seek to replace her birth father. As such, Syerra made the decision to let Zherra have his name, lending a familial connection to the Highlander. The girl will grow up knowing she has the love of two fathers.</blockquote>

At their wedding, the bard made good on his offer, singing an updated version of her late husband's poem as a gift to the newlyweds. Since her husband's passing, Syerra has asked their dear friend to be a part of her and her child's life, acting as god-uncle.</blockquote>
: ■● [[Xilaste Havenstrough]]
<blockquote>A recent acquaintance since joining the Green Goobbue Army, Xil immediately took to Syerra and has become a dear friend.

=OOC=

As a roleplayer, I have more than twenty years of experience in everything from tabletop to MMOs. Several of my current RP campaigns have been running for five years or more, so if you want a long-term story, I'm in. I'm looking to build epic storylines with others who are interested in staying in it for the long haul. One shots, while fun, are not my primary focus.

My roleplaying post style is full paragraph, but I will cut it down in situations where there are larger groups together. I am most comfortable in settings of no more than 2-3 players in addition to myself, but that being said, who doesn't love a party? Please don't ever feel afraid to approach, as I am almost always In Character.

I am a mature player and erotic RP is not out of the question, should it fit my character and her storyline. Relationships are also an open possibility, but again, it's based on what is appropriate for my character and her personality.

: ■Flowers: Once a gift for her every morning, Syerra makes sure to always have a flower in her hair (most often a lily or sakura blossom), unless she has removed them to keep them safe while she works. 
In Her Bags:
: ■Bandages, Potions and Tonics: Trained in the healing arts, Syerra keeps a small supply of medicines on her at all times, many of which she has crafted herself. 
: ■Leather Journal: A record of Syerra's life, travels and the ruins that she has explored. Dried Nymeia Lilies can be found pressed between several of the pages. 
: ■Portrait Sketch: Inside the front cover of her journal, folded neatly, is a sketch of herself and Az'rhyael standing before the view of the falls at Senna's Pride. A gift from her former sister-in-law.
: ■Magitek Visor: Syerra uses this to track aether currents while digging through ruins. 

=Personality=
While friendly and helpful to a fault, Syerra can come off as distant or even cool to people who are meeting her for the first time. She will often keep silent, taking the time to learn about those around her before ever engaging them. This is not a rule, however, and there are always exceptions.

Once someone is familiar to her, she will allow her true colors to shine through. Beneath the exterior of caution, is an adventurous and tenacious spirit. Knowledge excites her and she is always eager to learn anything that anyone will teach her, most especially about history and the origins of the places she explores and the relics she recovers.

=Skills and Talents=

As an experienced relic hunter, Syerra excels at moving quickly and deftly, while keeping out of sight. While others of her skillset may have turned to thievery to increase their wealth, she prefers the challenge of facing the unknown depths of ruin and cave alike, seeking items that have not seen the light of the sun in many an Age.

In addition to her relic hunting skills, it has been noted that Syerra has a steady hand and a focus in the face of catastrophe that lends itself well to medics and healers. She has begun to study with the Conjurer's Guild of [[Gridania]], in an effort to expand on her knowledge of the healing arts and aetheric magic.

She already has a start with stitch-work, working for the Weaver's Guild when the mood presents itself.

 
<div style="padding:10px 15px;background: #caecff;font-size:14px;font-style:roman;color:#5F5F5F;">Weapons</div>
The only weapon Syerra is seen carrying is a staff that she uses as a channeling focus for her conjury. When in a fight, she tends to use her fists.

 
<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #b4e4ff;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Magic</div>
Syerra is currently training with the Conjurer's Guild in Gridania. As such, she has a knowledge of healing magics.

 
<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #a0dcff;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Crafting</div>
Syerra's steady hands and skill at stitching lend not only to medicine, but also a deft weaver.

=History=

Strangely named and Tribeless, Syerra Faolchu seems to be a Miqo'te with quite a past behind her. But whatever that past may be, she carries it safely kept, revealing it only to the closest of friends.

She lives the life of an adventurer, traveling across [[Eorzea]] in search of lost relics and her destiny -- and hoping that it comes with riches and glory attached. Or maybe just a warm meal and a hot bath at the end of a long day. 
 
<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #caecff;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">'''Childhood'''</div>

Nothing is publicly known about Syerra's childhood. As far as anyone can recall, she was first noticed in Ul'dah around the age of eight. A solitary child, it was unclear whether or not she was connected to any family in the city, though her appearance gave the impression that if she were, they were not a family of any means.
 
<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #caecff;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">'''Adolescence'''</div>

Throughout her early teens, Syerra made a name for herself as a 'finder of lost objects,' be they truly lost or simply "misplaced into the hands of another." In this way, she was able to scratch out a meager living for herself, though never enough to actually find stability.

As is often the case within the population of the poor and downtrodden, she faced abuses of various kind daily. While many centered on her social status or race and were little more than slights that she could ignore, others were far more cruel in their treatment and lashed out in ways that she rarely speaks of.

In 1572, as Dalamud had begun its descent, a then 15-year old Syerra found herself facing the very real possibility that her short, unhappy life was soon to be at an end. Like so many others, she prayed that day for some reprieve, to have the chance at a life that mattered. While she rarely speaks of how she survived the [[Garlean Empire]]'s attack on Ul'dah or Dalamud's fall, the most important thing is that she ''did''.
 
<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #caecff;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">'''Adulthood'''</div>

In the years following the Calamity, Syerra made good on her vow to fight for a life that matters. She joined up with the Immortal Flames of Ul'dah, putting her relic hunting skills to good use for the city she loves. In time, her soldier's pay was able to afford her a decent set of light armor and her reputation among the ranks began to grow.

=Organizations=

<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #caecff;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">'''The Immortal Flames'''</div>
[[File:Syerra03.png|right|thumb|250px|Syerra in her Uniform]]
Current Rank: Second Flame Lieutenant (Specialist) - Retired

Syerra joined the Immortal Flames just after the Calamity, as so many others did. Recognizing her skills outside of combat, she was enlisted as a Specialist under the command of Captain Lance Broderick.

Over the years, she grew close to her Captain, even chancing what might only barely be called a relationship, but when it became apparent that his feelings had grown stronger than her own, she respectfully ended their encounters, wishing instead to preserve their friendship. Rumors spread, however, that it was this relationship that earned her a quick rise through the ranks.

She remained within the Immortal Flames, serving with distinction, up until she was given a mission that she could not refuse; one that would send her from Eorzea for months, even years. During her time away, her husband died and Syerra returned before the mission was complete. Upon arriving back in Ul'dah, she turned in her immediate resignation, partially blaming her superiors for her loss.

[[File:Syerra20.png|right|thumb|250px]]
: ■ 💑 [[Rhisdon Revenhart]]
<blockquote>After her husband's passing, Syerra found herself lost and without purpose. She made her way to the mercenary company that he had worked for and, through a turn of events, ended up signing on herself. That was where she met Rhisdon. A complicated man, with a deep pain of his own, he found himself able to open up to Syerra's gentle nature and she was able to find in him a companion to heal alongside. Over time the two realized that they offered one another something else as well: hope.
Careful to take things slowly, they began to explore the possibility of a relationship beyond mere friendship.
After the birth of Syerra's daughter, Rhisdon promised that he would do everything in his power to make sure that they were both protected and cared for. His genuine desire to be a part of both of their lives, and his clear affection for them, has drawn Syerra ever closer to him. She has come to realize that the Twelve are giving her a second chance at happiness and she doesn't intend to take it for granted.</blockquote>

: ■ ⚭ ☠ "Az"
<blockquote>As a self-styled "Prince of Fools", the Keeper originally caught only negative attention from Syerra. She was cautious of him, repelled by the forwardness he displayed upon their first meeting. It was only after crossing paths with him again that she began to realize that the Fool was simply a mask he wore, the kind designed to keep those around him at arm's length. Over time, however, she came to know the man beneath the Fool's mask and found a surprisingly valuable and trusted friend, an attentive lover, and someone with whom she can share her heart fully.
On the 14th Sun of the Second Umbral Moon (04/13) of last cycle, under the grace of Nymeia, Syerra and "Az" were wed before a gathering of their family and closest friends. Later that same year, he passed back into the Lifestream, but before he fell he granted his wife one last dream made reality: Syerra learned that she was with child just two weeks after his death.
(( I realize that the original player has retconned this character, but Syerra's past remains unchanged. I will respect the player's decision by using only the nickname (without links) and only referencing the character where necessary for Syerra's story. This version of "Az" can be assumed to be an NPC and in no way related to any player character bearing the same name. ))</blockquote>

<blockquote>Zherra is Syerra's infant daughter and her greatest joy. The last gift of her late husband, Zherra is a living reminder of the love that they shared and a promise that, even in the darkest of times, life continues.
Clearly adoring her from even before her birth, Rhisdon has promised that Zherra will never have to grow up without a father figure in her life, though he would never seek to replace her birth father. As such, Syerra made the decision to let Zherra have his name, lending a familial connection to the Highlander. The girl will grow up knowing she has the love of two fathers.</blockquote>

Renaux was so moved by her late husband's last-minute entry that he requested a copy of the words, wishing to put them to music. Over time, a gentle friendship grew between the three. At their wedding, the bard made good on his offer, singing an updated version of her late husband's poem as a gift to the newlyweds. Since her husband's passing, Syerra has asked their dear friend to be a part of her and her child's life, acting as god-uncle.</blockquote>
: ■● [[Xilaste Havenstrough]]
<blockquote>A recent acquaintance since joining the Green Goobbue Army, Xil immediately took to Syerra and has become a dear friend. She was a sturdy shoulder while Syerra mourned the loss of her husband and prepared for the arrival of her child. Now, the two share a kinship that Syerra wouldn't trade for anything.</blockquote>

=OOC=

As a roleplayer, I have more than twenty years of experience in everything from tabletop to MMOs. Several of my current RP campaigns have been running for five years or more, so if you want a long-term story, I'm in. I'm looking to build epic storylines with others who are interested in staying in it for the long haul. One shots, while fun, are not my primary focus.

My roleplaying post style is full paragraph, but I will cut it down in situations where there are larger groups together. I am most comfortable in settings of no more than 2-3 players in addition to myself, but that being said, who doesn't love a party? Please don't ever feel afraid to approach, as I am almost always In Character.

I am a mature player and erotic RP is not out of the question, should it fit my character and her storyline. Relationships are also an open possibility, but again, it's based on what is appropriate for my character and her personality.

''['''Last Update:''' 01/18/2017]''
 
Syerra Cian'brigh is a young [[Miqo'te]] Relic Hunter, living and working out of [[Ul'dah]]. She is a former Lieutenant with the [[Immortal Flames]] and a member of the Green Goobbue Army mercenary company.
 
<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #caecff;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">'''Appearance'''</div>

: ■Height: 5 Fulms 0 Ilms
: ■Weight: 98 Ponz
: ■Build: Petite, but Lightly Muscular
: ■Skin: Light, Sun-kissed
: ■Hair: Auburn with White Streaks
: ■Eyes: Emerald Green

 
Syerra is a petite Miqo'te with the physical traits of the Seekers of the Sun. Small in both build and stature, it was easy to mistake her for a boy when she was a child. As an adult, she has learned to dress to accent what feminine features she has.

Her face is round, with distinctly feline features. Bright eyes watch the world around her with scrutiny and curiosity, while her ears flick to pick up pieces of conversations, ever searching for the next lead on an adventure. Her auburn hair is worn long and often pulled back, and is accented by white streaks, where the pigment has been lost entirely.

Her skin is light in tone though tanned gently by the Thanalan sun, and she bears a number of scars from battles past. The most notable of which, she keeps hidden beneath high necklines or wide collars: A deep gauge that traverses her throat from one side to the other. The scar tells the story of a life-ending wound crudely and impatiently healed by magic, its edges rough and patchy. Though clearly inexperienced, whoever healed her quite obviously saved her life.

Her armor is of an excellent quality and is remarkably well kept. She takes great pride in her appearance and it shows. Her makeup is applied with a delicate hand, never worn ostentatiously, and while the clothes she wears are of a fine quality, they are never gaudy or over-done.

When found outside of an adventure, she will likely be wearing a pair of silver framed glasses, used primarily for reading.
 

<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #caecff;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">'''Inventory'''</div>
Clothing, Armor and Accessories: 
: ■Light Armor: Cloth and light leatherwork make up the majority of Syerra's daily wardrobe. 
: ■Wedding Ring: An elegant platinum ring with a twisting, vine-like design that holds two stones, one emerald green and the other pale blue. Syerra never removes this ring.
: ■Glasses: Unless on a dig or in combat, she is generally seen wearing a pair of thin-rimmed glasses. 
: ■Conjurer's Focus: Syerra has two of these. One is a small, carved bone rod, given to her by the Conjurers Guild. The other is a large, wooden staff, crafted for her by her husband, Az'rhyael. 
: ■Flowers: A gift for her every morning, Syerra always has a flower in her hair (most often a lily), unless she has removed it to keep it safe while she works. 
In Her Bags:
: ■Bandages, Potions and Tonics: Trained in the healing arts, Syerra keeps a small supply of medicines on her at all times, many of which have been crafted for her by her sister-in-law Freaja. 
: ■Leather Journal: A record of Syerra's life, travels and the ruins that she has explored. Dried Nymeia Lilies can be found pressed between several of the pages. 
: ■Portrait Sketch: Inside the front cover of her journal, folded neatly, is a sketch of herself and Az'rhyael standing before the view of the falls at Senna's Pride. A gift from her sister-in-law Kiaera.
: ■Bubble Chocolates: More gifts from Az'rhyael that she simply cannot be without. She will sometimes share these with her close friends. 
: ■Magitek Visor: Syerra uses this to track aether currents while digging through ruins. 

=Personality=
While friendly and helpful to a fault, Syerra can come off as distant or even cool to people who are meeting her for the first time. She will often keep silent, taking the time to learn about those around her before ever engaging them. This is not a rule, however, and there are always exceptions.

Once someone is familiar to her, she will allow her true colors to shine through. Beneath the exterior of caution, is an adventurous and tenacious spirit. Knowledge excites her and she is always eager to learn anything that anyone will teach her, most especially about history and the origins of the places she explores and the relics she recovers.

=Skills and Talents=

As an experienced relic hunter, Syerra excels at moving quickly and deftly, while keeping out of sight. While others of her skillset may have turned to thievery to increase their wealth, she prefers the challenge of facing the unknown depths of ruin and cave alike, seeking items that have not seen the light of the sun in many an Age.

In addition to her relic hunting skills, it has been noted that Syerra has a steady hand and a focus in the face of catastrophe that lends itself well to medics and healers. She has begun to study with the Conjurer's Guild of [[Gridania]], in an effort to expand on her knowledge of the healing arts and aetheric magic.

She already has a start with stitch-work, working for the Weaver's Guild when the mood presents itself.

 
<div style="padding:10px 15px;background: #caecff;font-size:14px;font-style:roman;color:#5F5F5F;">Weapons</div>
The only weapon Syerra is seen carrying is a staff that she uses as a channeling focus for her conjury. When in a fight, she tends to use her fists.

 
<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #b4e4ff;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Magic</div>
Syerra is currently training with the Conjurer's Guild in Gridania. As such, she has a knowledge of healing magics.

 
<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #a0dcff;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Crafting</div>
Syerra's steady hands and skill at stitching lend not only to medicine, but also a deft weaver.

=History=

Strangely named and Tribeless, Syerra Faolchu seems to be a Miqo'te with quite a past behind her. But whatever that past may be, she carries it safely kept, revealing it only to the closest of friends.

She lives the life of an adventurer, traveling across [[Eorzea]] in search of lost relics and her destiny -- and hoping that it comes with riches and glory attached. Or maybe just a warm meal and a hot bath at the end of a long day. 
 
<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #caecff;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">'''Childhood'''</div>

Nothing is publicly known about Syerra's childhood. As far as anyone can recall, she was first noticed in Ul'dah around the age of eight. A solitary child, it was unclear whether or not she was connected to any family in the city, though her appearance gave the impression that if she were, they were not a family of any means.
 
<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #caecff;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">'''Adolescence'''</div>

Throughout her early teens, Syerra made a name for herself as a 'finder of lost objects,' be they truly lost or simply "misplaced into the hands of another." In this way, she was able to scratch out a meager living for herself, though never enough to actually find stability.

As is often the case within the population of the poor and downtrodden, she faced abuses of various kind daily. While many centered on her social status or race and were little more than slights that she could ignore, others were far more cruel in their treatment and lashed out in ways that she rarely speaks of.

In 1572, as Dalamud had begun its descent, a then 15-year old Syerra found herself facing the very real possibility that her short, unhappy life was soon to be at an end. Like so many others, she prayed that day for some reprieve, to have the chance at a life that mattered. While she rarely speaks of how she survived the [[Garlean Empire]]'s attack on Ul'dah or Dalamud's fall, the most important thing is that she ''did''.
 
<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #caecff;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">'''Adulthood'''</div>

In the years following the Calamity, Syerra made good on her vow to fight for a life that matters. She joined up with the Immortal Flames of Ul'dah, putting her relic hunting skills to good use for the city she loves. In time, her soldier's pay was able to afford her a decent set of light armor and her reputation among the ranks began to grow.

=Organizations=

<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #caecff;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">'''The Immortal Flames'''</div>
[[File:Syerra03.png|right|thumb|250px|Syerra in her Uniform]]
Current Rank: Second Flame Lieutenant (Specialist) - Retired

Syerra joined the Immortal Flames just after the Calamity, as so many others did. Recognizing her skills outside of combat, she was enlisted as a Specialist under the command of Captain Lance Broderick.

Over the years, she grew close to her Captain, even chancing what might only barely be called a relationship, but when it became apparent that his feelings had grown stronger than her own, she respectfully ended their encounters, wishing instead to preserve their friendship. Rumors spread, however, that it was this relationship that earned her a quick rise through the ranks.

She remained within the Immortal Flames, serving with distinction, up until she was given a mission that she could not refuse; one that would send her from Eorzea for months, even years. During her time away, her husband died and Syerra returned before the mission was complete. Upon arriving back in Ul'dah, she turned in her immediate resignation, partially blaming her superiors for her loss.

: ■ "Don't underestimate that furry bitch. If you do, she'll beat you to the prize every time. But if you're smart, you can follow her in and let her do all the work. She's just one girl and easy to overpower." ~ ''Rival Relic Hunter''

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

: ■ 💑 [[Rhisdon Revenhart]]
<blockquote>After Az'rhyael's passing, Syerra found herself lost and without purpose. She made her way to the mercenary company that he had worked for and, through a turn of events, ended up signing on herself. That was where she met Rhisdon. A complicated man, with a deep pain of his own, he found himself able to open up to Syerra's gentle nature and she was able to find in him a companion to heal alongside. Over time the two realized that they offered one another something else as well: hope.
While they are taking things very slowly, they have decided not to hold their feelings back from one another and have begun a relationship.</blockquote>

: ■ ⚭ ☠ [[Az'rhyael Cian'brigh]]
<blockquote>As the self-styled "Prince of Fools", Az'rhyael originally caught only negative attention from Syerra. She was cautious of him, repelled by the forwardness he displayed upon their first meeting. It was only after crossing paths with him again that she began to realize that the Fool was simply a mask he wore, the kind designed to keep those around him at arm's length. As is her nature, she sought to try and see the man beneath that mask, wanting to know who he was and if her first impression of him had been wrong.
Over time, she came to know the man beneath the Fool's mask and found a surprisingly valuable and trusted friend, an attentive lover, and someone with whom she can share her heart fully.
On the 14th Sun of the Second Umbral Moon (04/13) of last cycle, under the grace of Nymeia, Syerra and Az'rhyael were wed before a gathering of their family and closest friends.
Later that same year, Az'rhyael passed back into the Lifestream, but before he fell he granted his wife one last dream made reality: Syerra learned that she was with child just two weeks after his death.
 
 
</blockquote>

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #a0dcff;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Friends/Acquaintances</div>===

: ■● [[Renaux Mercier]]
<blockquote>Syerra and Az'rhyael met the Duskwight by chance while they were at a poetry competition. Renaux was so moved by Az's last-minute entry that he requested a copy of the words, wishing to put them to music. Over time, a gentle friendship has grown between the three. At Syerra and Az'rhyael's wedding, the bard made good on his offer, singing an updated version of Az's poem as a gift to the newlyweds. Since Az'rhyael's passing, Syerra has asked their dear friend to be a part of her and her child's life.</blockquote>
: ■● [[Xilaste Havenstrough]]
<blockquote>A recent acquaintance since joining the Green Goobbue Army, Xil immediately took to Syerra and has become a dear friend. She has been a sturdy shoulder as Syerra mourns the loss of her husband and prepares for the arrival of her child. </blockquote>

: ■● [[L'rinhi Kett]]
<blockquote>The poetry competition where Syerra and Az'rhyael first met Renaux was also where they first met L'rinhi, the hostess of the event. A steady fondness has grown between Syerra and the other Miqo'te and she considers the woman a dear friend. After her return from her cut-short mission, Syerra finds herself unable to reconnect with her old friend and she feels that loss acutely.</blockquote>
: ■● [[Lathu'a Jhiyati]] - ''"Four"''
<blockquote>While he is known only to her as "Four", a tentative friendship has formed between Syerra and the dark Miqo'te, Lathu'a. Though vastly unlike her other friendships, it is a connection that she intends to protect just the same.</blockquote>
: ■● [[Koh'si Jakkya]]
<blockquote>Another lost friend from her childhood, Koh'si and Syerra were recently reunited and are getting to know one another once more.</blockquote>

=OOC=

As a roleplayer, I have more than twenty years of experience in everything from tabletop to MMOs. Several of my current RP campaigns have been running for five years or more, so if you want a long-term story, I'm in. I'm looking to build epic storylines with others who are interested in staying in it for the long haul. One shots, while fun, are not my primary focus.

My roleplaying post style is full paragraph, but I will cut it down in situations where there are larger groups together. I am most comfortable in settings of no more than 2-3 players in addition to myself, but that being said, who doesn't love a party? Please don't ever feel afraid to approach, as I am almost always In Character.

I am a mature player and erotic RP is not out of the question, should it fit my character and her storyline. Relationships are also an open possibility, but again, it's based on what is appropriate for my character and her personality.
