<br />
: Hyur-raised at the eastern foothills of Mor Dhona between the Black Shroud and Thanalan, Cinnabar Prentice is a passionate, if atypically introverted, roegadyn. The influences for such were seeded from early childhood, in a tumultuous series of abandonment and loss of family members- eventually leaving a young Cinnabar alone in the Thanalan desert sprawl.<br />
<br />
: Years of life in the otherwise unforgiving desertlands had found Cinnabar a survivor yet, applying her inherent brawn toward manual labor and back-alley fisticuffs for a pittance of gil. It wasn't until she was accepted into a community house that her lot in life had improved over a decade of such living, finding not only steady employment and her own bed, but friends and a blossoming love interest.<br />
<br />
: Spirits rekindled, Cinnabar found the inspiration to train her hand with the Lancer's Guild by gift of a spear from a sympathetic, elezen warrior- and with no purpose other than to defend that which she had gained. Alas, while accomplished she'd proven to be in her time in the Shroud among Lancers and Wailers, she returned home after several moons to find all traces of her home erased.<br />
<br />
: Today, she is once more on her own in the world. Nevertheless, with leathers on her back and weapon in hand, she forges onward, seeking those better moments in life that had come once, and should come again, Twelve willing.<br />
<br />
==<div style="padding:5px; background: #BB1E04; box-shadow: inset -10px -5px 10px -1px #FFFFFF"><span style="font-size: 25px; color: #FAF5F0; font-family: Book Antiqua;">Appearance</span></div>==<br />
<br />
<b>Height</b>: 7Fm 1Im || <b>Weight:</b> 303Pz || <b>Age:</b> 21Yrs<br><br />
:There is no questioning the pink-skinned Hellsguard's lineage. Even still, her muscle mass is more lean than bulky. Her vivid, crimson hair carries a natural wave and feathering, often tied back into a manageable braid. Beneath amber eyes rests a smattering of deep, rosy freckles that extend across the bridge of her nose- with other freckled patches hiding beneath clothing. Less noticable at a glance are the numerous scars speckling her exposed skin, telling of her life of manual labors, and the risks one would take for survival.<br />
<br />
: While often modestly garbed in unflattering attire, Cinnabar's combat and travel garments are fitting her adventurous lifestyle, painstakingly stitched, sewn, cured and crimped. At times, she may even find the nerve to wear something effeminate and appealing, though this is a rare occasion reserved for those she'd feel confident and comfortable enough around to expose more than her arms and face.<br />
<br />
: She is often seen with a large, dingy rucksack strapped to her back, overladen with her every personal belongings.<br />
<br />
==<div style="padding:5px; background: #BB1E04; box-shadow: inset -10px -5px 10px -1px #FFFFFF"><span style="font-size: 25px; color: #FAF5F0; font-family: Book Antiqua;">Combat</span></div>==<br />
<br />
: Cinnabar's childhood aspirations of knightly lancers and legendary dragoons have culminated in her formal education with the Lancer's Guild of Gridania. Though some might scoff at the sizable roegadyn wielding a polearm rather than a mighty axe, Cinnabar proves surprisingly agile and quick footed for her size, with all the force behind each swipe or stab that one can expect from her powerful physique. Her preferred weapon is the versatile spear-axe hybrid of the halberd.<br />
<br />
: Nevertheless, Cinnabar has seen some exposure to unarmed combat, and even the battleaxe as one would expect. The former, a relic mostly from her life on the streets, fighting in self-defense or in back alleys for pittance of gil. The latter, a dabbling in conjunction with her preferred weapon's style and plenty experience swinging axes and picks in logging and mining ventures.<br />
<br />
: Cinnabar finds difficulty in playing the aggressor in a conflict- even unto something as simple as sparring. She will opt to fight defensively, taking her time to place her strikes, and deflecting the attacks of her enemy- more often than not, to swiftly riposte.<br />
<br />
: Conversely, she has no qualms against engaging if the safety of an innocent or a comrade is at stake- fighting with unfettered aggression and fortitude. Those she has become close to would find her willing to lay her life down should it save theirs- if she must.<br />
<br />
==<div style="padding:5px; background: #BB1E04; box-shadow: inset -10px -5px 10px -1px #FFFFFF"><span style="font-size: 25px; color: #FAF5F0; font-family: Book Antiqua;">Personality</span></div>==<br />
<br />
: In line of work, Cinnabar is nothing if not driven toward the end result, cooperative with her colleagues. This can potentially come at the detriment to her own being, placing herself willingly into harm's way to protect someone of innocence or import- and compulsively so for those near and dear to her heart.<br />
<br />
: Socially, she is proves a stark contrast in confidence. Stammering, fidgeting, she will often avoid conversation of her own initiation, though may welcome it readily from others. She readily offers earnest compliments of others, but those aimed in her direction may find her face going red as a raddish. She is often reluctant to speak about herself in depth, however; particularly her past. The lack of self-confidence, often misleading others to figure her for a shy book-worm alone, rather than an agile hunter- much less a devoted defender.<br />
<br />
:Even then, Cinnabar would much sooner escape to a lonely corner or a desolate alleyway to lose herself in the pages of a sappy romance novel or bleed onto the pages of her most treasured diary. Given time and exposure, however, she would warm to familiar and amicable faces... And should she ever find someone fitting to serve as her sanctuary, would willingly share herself in ways that perhaps only that raggedy, old diary has ever been privy to.<br />

<b><div style="padding:10px 25px; background: #66bbbb;">◢ Friends</div></b><br />
:<br />
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Blynrael Doenwyn]]: Socially withdrawn and wearing the scars of her past, Cinnabar quickly came to consider the little sea wolf referred to as "Doe" by her friends, as her dearest friend of all. In time, Cinnabar even came to realize deeper emotion harbored for her. Alas, the time came for Blynrael to continue her solitary quest for closure, bringing the two to bid fond farewells. Cinnabar remains confident that her dear friend will find the peace she deserves, and they will one day meet again.<br />
:<br />
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Fierce Lily]]: Big, white, and... rather chivalrous. Cinnabar met the smithly roegadyn by chance upon the La Noscean shore. The two quickly found a common interest in literature, and have since bumped into one another on Cinn's visits to Limsa Lominsa. While the two still have a fair bit to share of one another, Lily has quickly found her way into Cinn's circle of favored company.<br />
:<br />
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Kegashiyo Thoth]]: "Kega" as he is referred, is one of Cinnabars closest friends of recent time. Ever an altruistic soul, it was this kind-hearted lalafell who kindled in Cinnabar the courage to confess her feelings to another for the first time. It was also by his doing that Cinnabar had the chance to witness Ishgard for the first time. Cinnabar would admit, in confidence and perhaps jestingly, that Kega is her 'sylphi godfather.'<br />
:<br />
: <font style="color:#111111;" size="3"><strike>♥</strike></font> [[Koschei Wynters]]: Headmistress of the now dissolved House Gemini, Koschei had come to take a deeper interest in the disheveled, malnourished street-rat of a Hellsguard. Passions and emotions bloomed, in secrecy from the greater population of the House. A mere couple suns after their first, official 'date,' Cinnabar left to train with the Lancer's Guild- foregoing giving an earnest response of commitment until she'd return after some moons. Alas, Cinnabar never had the chance. After the two years since, regret remains; wondering what had happened to her first sweetheart, and if things would have been different had she just committed and stayed a while longer.<br />
:<br />
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Srav Cullinane]]: Cinnabar's final motivator to pursue the polearm as her means of self defense and of that which she cares for, came in Srav's generous gift of a simple spear. Though Cinnabar has not happened upon Srav since, she keeps the worn spearhead of her first weapon as a keepsake nonetheless, and will gladly greet the dusky elezen should their paths ever cross again.<br />
:<br />
: <font style="color:#F02311;" size="3">♥</font> [[Violet Eye]]: Boasting compassion and charisma, Violet and Cinnabar met a late evening near the Lavender Beds. Similar interests quickly became evident, with talks spurred on over evening tea. The two have found a mutual draw to one another, beyond just books, teas, and plush toys... Cinnabar could hardly say anything other than 'yes' when the alabaster roegadyn proposed their first date- let alone to be romantic partners.<br />

<font style="color: #000; letter-spacing: 0em;">An eclipsing personality betrays appearances while serrated tongue lashes with daunting venom. Hers is a whirlwind of twisted vice and virtues that most find themselves on the defensive half. Most are misguided and ''most'' do not deserve her trust. She retains a veil of order to protect what is most important in this decadent world. However, lucky strays may find themselves in her wayward sun, wrapped in warmth and coveted with sweet loyalty.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''FIRST GLANCE:''' 5'3 fulms and weighing around 135 ponzes. A short thing with soft round features. Olive-tan skin kissed by the sun, is complemented by long wavy black hair that's usually tied up and out of peripheral. The Seeker's signature slitted pupils are surrounded by a wild golden bloom of hues, rivaling that of a handful of gil. Beneath them are specks of freckles, wrapping across the Miqo'te's upper cheeks. By sight alone, it's no real secret that she's a bit top heavy either, cursed (in her opinion) with ample sized breasts and hips that balance proportions which end with a very long, solid black tail.<br />
<br />
'''SCARS & MARKINGS:''' Tribal markings clutch at J'ira's rounded cheeks, striping down her forehead - hidden away by messily chopped bangs. There's a small horizontal scar that stretches across the bridge of the girl's nose, stopping short of mid-cheek. A single set of claw marks claim space from her right shoulder blade down to lower back. <br />
<br />
'''CLOTHING:''' J'ira's attire ranges highly on her mood, or functionality of the day. Most of her attire is humble and inexpensive, with only small clusters of luxury dabbed in accessories or jewelry for accent sake. Most of the time, her chest is wrapped for the sake of security.<br />

: Alexaria Whiteraven is well-built and her skin is quite tan. People call her pretty, though she has a long scar starting between her eyes and leading down her right cheek. Her nose is fairly long, her eyes are a bright ocean-blue, and her facepaint matches this color. Her most distinguishing feature is her white hair.<br />
<br />
: Alexaria (who will answer to Alex) may seem at first turn to be cold, or possibly aloof. People who speak to her, however, tend to point out she's very intelligent and quite concerned with the well-being of others. Her face rarely displays any sort of emotion other than the occasional raised or furrowed brow. She speaks clearly and in an even tone. She is usually very polite and her manner suggests trained etiquette.<br />
<br />
<font style="color:#0093AF;" size="2">'''★'''Information here may seem limited. This is intentional. Alexaria does not share details about her life or history freely. Anything listed here is reasonably public knowledge. Many (if not most) rumors about her are false.</font><br />

<table style="position:center;" width="75%"><br />
<br />
: Alexaria shuns the spotlight. She prefers to listen and watch from nearby or afar, and works by herself. Even so, she is a naturally curious woman like the ravens of her family's namesake, often approaching complete strangers with questions -- sometimes very frank questions. Even so she will stress that her intentions are never malign, and will politely cease inquiry or leave if her presence is an annoyance.<br />
<br />
<br />
: Alexaria dresses in distinct, personally-made garments most of the time. As a seamstress, she tends to model her own work when in public. She prefers comfort above all else...comfort, in her case, tends to be very revealing outfits that highlight her physique. Even when covering herself, she tries to wear clothing that breathes well and can shed the heat generated by activity (exercise, labor or fighting).<br />
<font style="color:#0093AF;" size="2">'''★'''The following are things that could be picked up by simply observing Alexaria for a time, and are facets of her life she makes no secret of. Though she suppresses emotion, she still has preferences about how she spends her time and things she avoids.</font><br />

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Biography</div>===<br />
<br />
Alexaria is very, very careful about speaking of her past. She shares some tales with a charming, nonchalant attitude while carefully withholding sensitive information. Anyone asking around the Quicksand is likely to pick up one or two "facts" about Alexaria--if you believe your character has reason to know anything in this section, you may proceed as long as you understand you will never have the whole story.<br />
<br />
=====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Childhood</div>=====<br />
<br />
Alexaria was born in Ala Mhigo, but only a few years before its fall to Garlemald. She recalls very little of her time there, as she left "in swaddling", rushed from the city by her father, south, to Ul'dah. He was able to bring a sizable portion of the Whiteraven family wealth, which he used to create a very successful moneylending and moneychanging business.<br />
<br />
Alexaria is open enough about her childhood--she describes herself as growing up a bit spoiled, "with a silver spoon in my mouth", as the daughter of a wealthy businessman might be. She never wanted for anything until her adolescence, when her father sent her to an all-girls private school in the Black Shroud. Suddenly, everything Alexaria knew had changed.<br />
<br />
No longer able to wallow in her father's opulence, Alexaria was subjected to a rigorous curriculum and made to live in a dormitory on the grounds of her school. As a teenager, Alex found it grueling in contrast to her idyllic childhood; in retrospect, she sees how easy it was--physically--compared to the harshness of life for the unwealthy laborers who support Ul'dah every day. However, she will never forgive her scholastic experiences for anything but what they were: indoctrination to be the ideal wife of a wealthy businessman or noble.<br />
<br />
Alexaria railed against her teachers and the school staff, breaking rules and inviting them to punish her as far as their disciplinary mandate allowed them. Her brashness made her popular, and soon she had a clique of girls that seemed to worship her, after only two years. She also butted heads with many of the other popular girls who could not see why Alex insisted on causing trouble and looked down on her for being "sexless, careless and rude" (as one girl put it).<br />
<br />
In her second year, Alexaria became aware of a new student who also had little love of the institution, and had been similarly "sentenced" to the school to "straighten her out". Initially the girls fought over nearly everything, being rivals in all physical activities and arguing constantly whenever near each other. Eventually they started having real fights, with Alexaria having the snot knocked out of her regularly by the far more aggressive girl. When confronted on their bouts, the girls lied to protect themselves and ended up protecting each other, gaining a measure of admiration in each others' eyes.<br />
<br />
The two started an "extracurricular activities group", ostensibly giving other girls a chance to do more physical education. In truth, it was a fight club--Alexaria saw this as an excellent way to give her classmates confidence, and erode the indoctrination of the school. It was at this time that Alexaria realized how she felt about girls in general, and her one-time rival became her first and closest lover. Other girls in the club began to experiment as well.<br />
<br />
When stories began to circulate about the club (and bruises became more visible on the faces of its members), the school sought to suppress all such activity. One girl--a member who had once sought to quash Alex's popularity--decided she would remove Alexaria as an obstacle by pitting her against her best friend. Through her manipulations, Alexaria and the other girl scarred each others' faces in a nearly-mortal knife fight, and were summarily expelled.<br />
<br />
This was a week before the Calamity.<br />
<br />
=====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Post-Calamity</div>=====<br />
<br />
Alexaria will be the first person to tell you she lost everything in the Calamity--and the first to point out she is hardly unique in this. She shows great sympathy to those who lost loved ones in the tragedy and downplays her own experiences.<br />
<br />
In truth, Alexaria lived homeless for a year, selling the clothes off her back just for food, and nearly starved to death. She speaks little of what she did to survive at this time, and certainly gives no reason for her reticence--but its clear this was a major change in her life.<br />
<br />
The school which had expelled her was destroyed in Bahamut's attack and Alex knows nothing of the girls who had gone there--she notes that Dalamud's approach sent many of the girls home before the actual attacks began, so its possible many of them survived, but she doesn't seem to care enough to find out.<br />
<br />
After a year of barely having enough food to keep her alive and looking very much like an Ala Mhigan refugee, Alexaria started looking for work. Business began to reopen as people sought to rebuild their lives. But without any experience in manual labor, Alexaria was turned away from every job she applied to, until finally getting a job as a waitress... in a Burlesque House.<br />
<br />
The establishment known as ''Up Your Street'' was located on Pearl Lane and boasted "the prettiest girls in the Thanalan, giving (and showing) their all for our faithful customers!" While some might deride the business as a glorified strip club, ''Up Your Street'' actually took very good care of its employees and turned out any patrons who attempted to force the girls to do anything but sing, dance and tell jokes. Alexaria found a measure of family in the business, and for the first time in years, felt happy to be alive.<br />
<br />
While she made decent money serving drinks, Alexaria shunned the spotlight, especially the idea of revealing her body to strangers. The malnutrition she suffered previously had left her skinny and eroded her natural athleticism, and she felt clumsy and ungraceful. But, after hours one night, she began to sing as she had at school--unaware that much of the management was having a meeting in back. They asked Alex to show them how she danced, and though she thought she might fall over at any moment, the owners were impressed and offered Alexaria work as a dancing girl (second string) in some of the easier stage shows.<br />
<br />
Alexaria started working out and spent her money on healthy food, building back up the muscle she had when the fight club was at its peak. Dancing gave her a smooth, hard body and the confidence to work her way up until she was singing numbers by herself--sometimes the main attraction of the night. Unfortunately, such success was short lived as the laws of Ul'dah changed, allowing dancing girls to appear on the streets. Which such cheap titillation in high supply, ''Up Your Street'' found their business dwindle to nothing and closed down.<br />
<br />
What happened next is barely known to anyone, but what Alexaria will tell people is that she left Eorzea, and her citizenship was revoked after a prolonged absence. When she returned, her body had changed from that of an athletic dancer to a fighting powerhouse, and her demeanor had become that of a careful and emotionless spectre living at the edges of society. She registered with the Pugilist and Weavers guilds, and began a new and quiet life.<br />

<br />
: <font style="color:#00B7EB;" size="3">★</font> [[Natalie Mcbeef]] - One of the first people Alexaria met upon returning home to Ul'dah. Alexaria greatly respects Natalie, and offers the Miqo'te counsel whenever asked. She thinks Natalie's long hair looks wonderful.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#00B7EB;" size="3">★</font> [[Chachanji Gegenji]] - Alexaria holds the small but stalwart smith in very high regard. She appreciates his honesty and positive attitude, and speaks praise of him without prompting. She only worries that her care will embarrass him, and tries to be careful of his feelings.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#00B7EB;" size="3">★</font> [[Kage Kiryuu]] - Alexaria enjoys Kage's company a great deal, being more at ease with him than just about anyone she knows. She always tries to speak with him where ever she finds him.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#00B7EB;" size="3">★</font> [[Chokho Viqqoh]] - Chokho is one of the few flirtatious women Alexaria seems relaxed around. Chokho is more accepting of Alexaria's lifestyle and personal choice than many of Alex's other acquaintances, and for this Alex is deeply thankful. They peacefully disagree on some points, but Alexaria trusts Chokho--even though she is keeping a careful eye on the dark Miqo'te's actions.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#008080;" size="3">★</font> [[Ennara Calian]] - Ennara and Alexaria grew quite close over the span of a few weeks--eventually growing too close for comfort (for Alexaria at least). Ennara took their "break up" fairly roughly, but Alexaria wants to maintain a healthy relationship with Ennara over the long term.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#71BC78;" size="3">●</font> [[Nazeru Auronas]] - Though their relationship began with Nazeru making passes at Alexaria, Alexaria's refusal to show emotion frustrates Nazeru.

<br />
: <font style="color:#008080;" size="3">★</font>[[Augustine Frost]] - Dirty and unkempt Augustine may be, but Alexaria sees in him something he refuses to believe exists: a heart. Her chief concern is that he will actively try to stamp it out instead of accepting that he could be cared for honestly.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#960018;" size="3">■</font> [[Marrow Ochi]] - Alexaria doesn't quite believe Marrow is the Primal she says she is, but harbors concern over what could happen if Marrow actually is.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#008080;" size="3">★</font>[[Trisselle Ganathain]] - Alexaria holds this Duskwight in high regard, and her poise reminds Alex that Duskwights must always be judged person to person. Though they seem to float in different circles, Alexaria tries to make time for Trisselle when she can.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#71BC78;" size="3">●</font>[[Silonon Chandra]] - An eccentric Hyur that Alexaria finds, above all else, entertaining. She has decided to be more careful in her dealings with him after a few odd events, but would come to the Midlander's aid any time.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#960018;" size="3">■</font>[[K'weh Featherstroud]] - She once admired "Feather" for his singing skill and modesty, but the ease with which the Miqo'te turned to violence during a stressful encounter keeps Alexaria at a distance, for now.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#71BC78;" size="3">●</font> [[U'zhan Tia]] - The dark-skinned Miqo'te bewilders Alexaria at times. She watches his interactions with other of her acquaintances carefully, apparently trying to "figure him out".<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#71BC78;" size="3">●</font>[[Haruki Aoyuki]] - Though she's only met the gentleman briefly, she has great respect for people who say little (whether by choice or circumstance). Obviously, since he doesn't speak, she's very curious about him.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#71BC78;" size="3">●</font> [[Araswel Dakwhil]] - Alexaria respects Araswel as a fighter and as a teacher, though she feels she has little to learn from the Miqo'te battlemaster. Alex feels Araswel's martial focus may be too narrow, and hopes Araswel has something meaningful to fight for--or at least, has a non-combative hobby.<br />

'''Aya Foxheart''', a Highland Hyur from Ishgard, is a dancer by vocation, a model by fortune, and a barmaid by occupation. <br />
She is best known as one of the Quick Sand's barmaids, and for the Eorzean Alliance's 'For Eorzea!' campaign. Beyond being one of Eorzea's most recognized blondes, she is also known to some as friend, thoughtful poet, unexpected tinker, and surprisingly canny ally. <br />

=== <div style="padding:10px 0px 15px 30px;background:#FFE4E1;font-size:14px;font-weight:bold;">Appearance</div> ===<br />
This tall, blonde Hyur woman moves gracefully, while displaying bright energetic blue eyes, and a warm cheerful smile - Everyone's favorite bountifully chested barmaid!<br />
<br />
:*Cheerful, Vivacious, and Graceful.<br />
:*Fashionable and Attentive<br />
:*Unabashedly Feminine<br />
:*Very Blonde<br />
<br />
'''Features:''' Bright blue eyes and an almost constant cheerful smile are the highlights of a striking oval shaped face that possesses the eye-catching character of Ala Mhigan womanhood. Light blonde eyebrows stand out prominently with even the most cursory glance. Her features and manner are naturally expressive if not exaggerated. She communicates as much by facial expression and body language as by word.<br />
<br />
'''Physique:''' Although somewhat slight for a Highland Hyur, she is statuesque by Midlander standards standing at 5' 10" without the aid of heels. Her physique is athletic and fit, with a curvaceous and bountiful figure that has helped propel her to a burgeoning career as a fashion and glamour model. She has trained in dancing and gymnastics since a youth, adding a wider regimen of workouts with growing intensity as she has moved from path to path. Taken together they have helped her reach and maintain overall-body power and endurance. Her cheerful energy and feminine manner often obscures her unexpected level of strenght and fitness. <br />
<br />
'''Hair''' Long and light golden blonde that bleaches in the summer sun. Slightly wavy, at times it threatens to become an unruly curl. She typically wears it tied back in a pony tail, with long bangs that she enjoys experimenting with. When modelling, or in a formal setting, she usually leaves her hair down where it falls half-way down her back.<br />
<br />
'''Dress:''' She prefers outfits chosen for form instead of function, almost universally wearing high heeled shoes and boots as steep as she can get away with, and skirts instead of trousers or leggings. When necessary to be more practical practical, she still gives priority to flattering her figure. Her work as a fashion model has served to both broaden her horizons and her wardrobe. She seems to approach every season as a fresh fashion challenge!<br />
<br />
'''Accessories and Makeup''': Aya is usually seen wearing at least light makeup, and is only to be found without colored lips and eye makeup when caught by surprise. Jewelry and accessories are one of the passions of her life and she sports seven piercings on each ear (four upper, and three lower), usually wearing larger earrings on the lower-most piercing, and then matching studs or rings in the remaining (frequently changed to match her outfit, and sometimes her mood). She usually wears an assortment of belts, necklaces, bracelets, and rings, as well as navel jewelry that she enjoys showing off when visible.<br />
<br />
'''Manner:''' Vivacious, feminine, and self-possessed. Often bold, irreverent, and flirtatious. She carries herself with an easy and practiced grace, something that seems to come through even when clumsy (most often associated with her hips). In more private moments she can become profoundly reflective and even melancholy, but in all moods and settings she maintains an almost reflexively feminine manner. This proved true even when she found herself within a martial setting, one in which she never felt fully comfortable. <br />
<br />
'''Voice:''' Light, energetic, and delightful(*). An obvious Ishgardian accent lends a lilting tone to her speech. Those intimately familiar with Ishgardian manners of speech will immediately recognize her as non-Ishgardian, and may be able to tease out the hint of Highland burr that still inflects her speech. She speaks the common tongue with a regular dose of Ishgardian words and expressions, and is even more natural and eloquent in the Ishgardian tongue of her adopted home. She speaks her native Ala Mhigan without a hint of accent on hesitation. Her singing voice is an unusually strong mezzo soprano. <br />
<br />
(*)Some could also easily find her voice annoying!<br />
<br />
=== <div style="padding:10px 0px 15px 30px;background:#FFE4E1;font-size:14px;color:#000000;font-weight:bold;">Disposition</div> ===<br />
[[File:Aya_portrait.png|150px|left|Aya as a Barmaid in Ul'dah]]Aya is outgoing and social, with a clear orientation toward easy fun. She has a significant soft-hearted streak that often sometimes conflicts with her better sense. She has a tendency to speaks before she thinks(sometimes leading to bouts of momentary shyness). She prefers to avoid hard physical or mental work, but thrives when employed in a social environment or when the center of attention. She has expensive tastes for comfort and baubles, and will almost always take the easiest route to Gil when offered. <br />
<br />
Nonetheless, she has become significantly more responsible since fleeing Ishgard and encountering the difficulties of the real world shorn from the protective layer of her family, and can usually be counted on if it really matters.<br />
<br />
Her preference for shopping, relaxing, and fun to hard work should become quickly obvious to even the most ambivalent observer.<br />

==== <div style="padding:10px 0px 15px 30px;font-size:14px;color:#000000;font-weight:bold;">Ala Mhigan Refugee - Ishgard</div> ====<br />
[[File:Aya_Dancing_Ishgard.jpg|right|300px]]<br />
Born the youngest of three children into an upper class Ala Mhigan family steeped in a long warrior tradition, Aya was born into what should have been a life of relative luxury. All hope of such fortune was washed away among the flood of refugees fleeing the Kingdom ahead of the Imperial conquest. Living as refugees the family moved from city to city in a vain effort to call in old favors to find permanent settlement. After being turned away from every hope, including an extended stay near Limsa Lominsa, Aya's father finally made the decision he had been so loath to consider in the past: to call upon distant relatives who had settled as sellswords in Ishgard several generations in the past, the black sheep of the once prominent and proper family.<br />
<br />
Unaware of their fortune to gain entrance to the city shortly before the gates were sealed to the outside world, their long lost relatives welcomed the family with the grudging acceptance of blood relatives. Unable to leave their past behind, Aya's parents adopted only the minimal necessary trappings of Ishgardian society. Refusing to abandon his pretensions her father quickly became a burden, followed by the eldest son intent upon claiming the trappings of an inheritance that had evaporated before his eyes. Loyal to a fault Aya's mother served her husband's every interest, pressing the children to accept his desires and command as they became ever less realistic. The two younger children grew closer to one another, as both proved more capable of adapting to their new social status.<br />
<br />
The younger of Aya's brothers chose to become an apprentice weapon smith, planning to open his own shop and provide support for his parents, and if possible to repay the relatives to whom the entire family owes their survival. Aya meanwhile was drawn toward less productive, but equally rebellious endeavors. Despite their poverty, Aya's parents set her on the path to be schooled as a proper Lady befitting her station. Of the arts and manners she studied as a child, her favorite quickly became dancing. As an adolescent she embraced a social circle that skirted the edges of "acceptable" society, preferring the fun, excitement, attention, and notoriety to be found in the world of taverns, and underground clubs. Finding that she could earn gil as a dancer and entertainer Aya completely abandoned her ties to the social circles her parents still clung to in their vaingloriousness.<br />
<br />
<br />
==== <div style="padding:10px 0px 15px 30px;font-size:14px;color:#000000;font-weight:bold;">Flight, Gridania, and the Hungry Wolf</div> ====<br />
[[File:Aya_stretch.jpg|left|100px|Credit: Jack Swift]]<br />
Facing increasing pressure from her parents, and feeling a general alienation toward the accepted culture of Ishgard, Aya made the life-changing decision to escape from the city. Once in the outside world she made her way to Gridania with a purse that rapidly grew bare. She managed to find employment at the Roost as a barmaid, where she was able to rent a room on a long-term basis. With an eye on greater prizes (and a blindness to the risks) she embraced the opportunity to find work as a sellsword with a Free Company she had come to know through work, thus Aya came to the Hungry Wolf.<br />
<br />
Although she had mislead the Company on her experience and capability, Aya proved a quick study, albeit it a tentative combatant. Over the course of her several months long employment by the Hungry Wolf, she took part in a small number of actual combat operations, while generally avoiding dangerous assignments. Focused primarily on patrol and sentry work, she finished her time with the Company overseeing patrols that covered the Gridania to Coerthas road, stationed at Fallgourd Float. The work was mild, and she supplemented decreasing pay by entertaining at the local inn. As the company floundered financially, the remaining members were released from their employment.<br />
<br />
==== <div style="padding:10px 0px 15px 30px;font-size:14px;color:#000000;font-weight:bold;">Ul'dah: The Quick Sand</div> ====<br />
[[File:aya_hood_two.jpg|200px|right]]<br />
Floating about without work, Aya returned to Gridania where she lived at the Roost, trying to make up her mind about what to do next, until expelled for failing to pay for her room. Desperate to find work again, and deciding it better to not further pursue her career as a mercenary, she decided to return to her previous employment, that of a barmaid. Deciding it unlikely that the Roost would turn around and offer her work so soon after the messy issue of her eviction, she opted to try a new city. Intimidated by Limsa's pirate culture, Aya opted to instead test the oppressive heat and culture of Ul'dah. <br />
<br />
Momodi, the matron of the Quick Sand, the busiest drinking hole in the city of Ul'dah, and a hub of activity adventurous, legitimate, and illicit, saw potential in the young woman (perhaps believing that the tall blonde from the north might bring in business with her exotic looks) and quickly offered her a position as a barmaid. Along with a pittance of pay, she was provided with a small room (in the least desirable part of the building), board at discount, and the opportunity to keep any tips she would earn. <br />
<br />
Aya's primary responsibility is tending to patrons sitting at the Quick Sand's tables, but she also sometimes assists customers at the bar itself, and can pour and mix some drinks to make things easier on Momodi. She's also been quick to help with the Quick Sand's menu, adding a variety of mixed fruit drinks (which she has come to consider something of a specialty), a variety of dishes, and nearly tripling the volume of Gridanian Mead sold with her frequent recommendation of the import.<br />

In an united Morale and Recruitment campaign the Grand Companies of Eorzea are publishing a series of patriotic pin-up posters. They are available in both poster form, posted in public spaces across the cities and smaller settlements, and in magazine-sized pamphlets complete with reports on the Grand Companies, and information on either joining or volunteering time and material.<br />

== <div style="padding:10px 15px; background:#FFC0CB;font-size:18px;color:#000000;"><b>Combat</b></div> ==<br />
<spoiler><br />
Although she is no longer a sell sword, Aya's training and experience with the Hungry Wolf remains a crucial aspect of who she is. She was also raised within a warrior family, and steeped in heroic tales of past conflict and heroism. She prefers to avoid conflict, and favors guile over violence, but she remains both mentally and physically better prepared for it than she would ever admit. <br />
<br />
Aya's formal training in military skills has been as a Lancer. Accepting early lessons from the Wood Wailers, and later trained by the Hungry Wolf, she is naturally well-suited to the weapon. Physically fit and athletic she is able to utilize the leverage-advantage of the weapon to a great extent, while maintaining distance from her opponent. Although tentative to enter combat, once engaged she fights with a raw tenacity and viciousness that the Hungry Wolf seek to instill in all of their fighters. She would rather avoid danger if at all possible, but if forced she will kill or be killed. Quick and graceful she relies on rapid and precise movements en lieu of brute force, utilizing surprise and distraction to create opportunities to exploit with the goal of inflicting debilitating injuries. To utilize her impressive leg strength she makes frequent use of kicking and jumping attacks, often in conjunction with the lance to create difficult to defend sequences of strikes. Most experienced soldiers would still consider her an amateur, but one still capable of being a sometimes surprising threat in hand-to-hand combat.<br />
<br />
She has been trained in standard Hungry Wolf military tactics which included basic forestry, and long-range small-group coordination. Stealth, ambush, and surprise-attack training has formed a major portion of her education in tactics. <br />
<br />
*Strengths<br />
:*<u>Spearwork</u> Training with the spear came late for her, but she has proven a natural with the weapon that helps leverage her natural talents while mitigating many of her weaknesses<br />
:*<u>Single-Mindedness</u> The Hungry Wolf taught that combat was a last resort. It meant death or victory, and all fighters were taught to fight is if were their last. She shows no hesitation to maim or kill, aiming to neutralize each opponent by the most rapid means possible. She fights without rules or second thoughts.<br />
:*<u>Speed</u> Trained for running speed and quickness she has not relented and can cover a remarkable amount of ground. This is most especially true in a forest environment.<br />
:*<u>Grace</u> Always a danger first she is possessed of balance, grace, and core strength perhaps unusual for a warrior. <br />
:*<u>Unpredictable</u> She never studied the finer details of spear technique, and instead drawn upon her talent in dancing and street fighting. Combined with her emphasis on misdirection and her lack of hesitation, this can make her a potentially dangerous foe even those vastly ore capable.<br />
:*<u>Unarmed</u> Though no pugilist, she has always been an indefatigable scrapper and has brought some of that talent to her technique. Her use of elbows, knees, and most especially kicks, can provide dangerous and imbalancing to an unwary opponent.<br />
:*<Healer> Her mother studied the Ala Mhigan arts of healing before marriage, and passed some of this knowledge onto her daughter. It is a mixture of first aid and basic knowledge in herbalism and the brewing of salves, and infusions. Some of the art may amount to minor conjury. <br />
<br />
*Weaknesses<br />
:*<u>Amateur</u> Despite her training and time with the Hungry Wolf she did not gain significant experience. She remains, at best, a talented amateur.<br />
:*<u>Weakness</u> Although possessed of impressive overall strength, her upper body strength upon which a warrior most heavily relies, is lacking compared to most professionals.<br />
:*<u>Non-Magical</u> The use and employment of magic is simply beyond her. She does not know its strengths, weaknesses, or limitations and readily believes every fanciful tale and boast she hears. <br />
:*<u>Fashion</u> Though absurd, her fashion sense extends to her choice of battlefield equipment. Neither high heels nor figure-flattering armor make practical priorities on the battlefield and it cannot be denied that this puts her at a disadvantage in actual combat. Her father would not be proud. <br />
:*<u>Unintimidating</u> The sight of Aya, even with spear in hand and steeled for battle, has never put anyone at unease.<br />

:*"Someone told me she used to work as a sellsword, out in the Shroud. Said he saw her guardin' a bridge or somethin' out there. Can't be true though. Her? No way."<br />

'''PC Rumors:'''<br />
[[File:aya_shot.png|right|400px]]<br />

:*"Great if you're looking for a quick smile." - [[Chokho Viqqoh]]<br />

:*"Kind beyond words. There's a touch of the Divine in that girl." - [[Warren Castille]]<br />

:*"She's so pretty, too pretty to be wasting her life away as a barmaid in the Quicksand of all places if you ask me. Of course, I'm sure there's much more to her than that. Things are rarely what they seem to be." - [[Aerostein Epitaph]]<br />
;*"Aya's a little too soft to ever feel at home in Ul'dah, hopefully she hardens up before she becomes the City's latest victim." - [[Natalie Mcbeef]]<br />
:*"T'shina Vashka introduced me to Aya a few weeks ago. My first thought was what could a woman so enchanting be doing working as a place rough like that? Nevertheless this is a sweet lady, and rather mysterious, as if there is more behind that smile she gives to the world. I look forward to getting to know her more." - [[Chika Ito]]<br />
:*"A truly kind woman. I still do not know everything about her, but she seems to be the example of innocence. However, she is also a survivor. She fits her surname well." - [[Kiht Jakkya]]<br />
:*"It had been awhile since I have been back in the Quicksand, I do not remember it being so friendly. But Miss Aya made me welcome, and brightened the place notably. She even made sweet water sound ''better'' and that was already my favorite drink!" - [[Roen Deneith]]<br />
:*"I heard she was voted 'Sexiest Female in Ul'dah' at the Piquant Pumpkin. Someone's got a good eye..." - [[C'kayah Tia]]<br />
:*"She is everything I can't abide in women; bubbly, blond, busty and flirtatious--but make no mistake, she will always have a job at Crooked Tarot's Emporium if she ever needs or wants it." - [[Crooked Tarot]]<br />
:*"Oh-- yes. She joined me- me for a swim at- at one of the- the wards in The Mist. I- I had a wonderful time. How could I- I not? She is- is such wonderful company." - [[D'lyhhia Lhuil]]<br />

:*"Oh? Is that her name? Yeah, I seen her around in th'Quicksand. Prettiest barmaid you'll ever see in all Eorzea, that one! Wouldn't go messin' wit' one o'Momodi's gals, though." - [[Berrod Armstrong]]<br />
:*"Aya? Well...I have to say she helped me a lot of the time. I feel like I owe her my life and everything. I wish she was my sister..." - [[Arala Makeo]]<br />
:*"Y'mean that cute thing down at th'Quicksand? Yeah, I've seen 'er. Fun t'joke around with an' does 'er job damn well. She's pretty playful an' knows how t'work men from th'looks'f it--prolly a behemoth in th'sheets." - [[Val Nunh]]<br />
:*"Miss Aya is...well she's adorable really! She's so energetic and kind, it's kind of hard not to gravitate to her and feel like you can just talk to her. Even if you've never met. I can imagine that she's really fun to get to know, and I'd like to someday!" - [[Siha Xinkei]]<br />
:*"Ah, the lovely miss that works at the Quicksand?" *Xydane smiles* - [[Xydane Vale]]<br />
:*"Either her tips are more than we think or she stole the heart of Redolent Rose like she did the rest of us saps. I'm banking on the latter..." - [[Robert Colt]]<br />
:*"You know...all right, yea'. It was me playin' drums usin' the bloody table, and this Elezen 'arpist. She danced while us two played 'long...I mean, I just wanted to see 'er dance 'cause...you know. But godsdamn, the three of us got somethin' good goin' on there" - [[Kale Aideron]]<br />
:*"Aya is one of the reasons I return to the Quicksand. Were she not there, I doubt I would visit as frequently." - [[Franz Renatus]]<br />
:*"Miss Aya seems a good person. Even after our misunderstanding, she was still kind enough to talk to me a second time. And she has exquisite taste in jewelry!" - [[Vaughn Antain]]<br />
:*"Lady Aya has this warm knowing smile; so happy to see her when I visit. Ah, I simply could never trouble her, the Quicksand is always so busy regardless of how she denies such." - [[Jancis Milburga]]<br />
:*''Rare Rumor''"She is a strong woman. Like a Wailer, can survive anything. I think that is how she knows what to say to those who come into the tavern. She knows what hopelessness they feel; what their heart says. Few people touch me so deeply with admiration whenever I see her smile." - [[Jancis Milburga]]<br />
:*"Aya opened up to me like few ever do. I am honored, and will bear what I know with discretion. All I will say is that I have much more respect for her now." -[[Kiht Jakkya]]<br />
:*"Oh. Yeah, we've met. Chipper woman. She's a good dancer, if you can talk her into it." - [[Jaques Guillaume]]<br />
:*"Ms. Aya's one'a me favorite folkses ta see at th' Quicksand, rivallin' Ms. Momodi 'erself. Um... don't... don't tell Ms. Momodi I said that, though, ahaha..." - [[Chachanji Gegenji]]<br />
:*"They say Ul'dah is the jewel of the desert, but they're really referring to Aya." - [[Daghbheri Himalspyr]]<br />
:*"Aya has changed very much, and yet very little, since I last saw her as a girl. I mourn the rift that has opened between her heart and her true home." - [[V'aleera Lhuil]]<br />
:*"Of course I know who you're talking about, she had pictures in the- Yes, of course I bought it. Wait, don't give me that look!" - [[Jana Ridah]]<br />
:*“…Honestly, what is there that I could tell you that you could not figure out from asking her yourself! …We had our fortunes told together once. It was very nice – I would like to do something similar again sometime.” - [[Edda Eglantine]]<br />
:*"...There is -nothing- finer than a curvy blond handing you a bottle of wine, especially if she has a slight accent. There's this one blond at the Quicksand; Gods her t---... What? What do you mean I can't say that about your employees, Momo?!" [[Sigurd Sundsteigen]]<br />
:*"Aya? Never met her in the Quicksand; I first saw her in a bar outside of Ul'dah--Oh, you were asking what's ''special'' about her? Simple; it's what's beneath the looks. Afterall, she mananged to help ''me'' with a problem. Not often someone can do that for me." [[Elise Wolfe]]<br />
:*"Hmn... Aya is probably the main reason people go to the Quicksand be it for her beauty or simply because she's simply among the nicest folk Ul'dah has to offer." [[Aeron Volkova]]<br />
:*''Rare Rumor'': "Don't tell anyone I said this... but she's the best dressed woman in Ul'dah." [[Coatleque Crofte|Red-headed Sultansworn]]<br />
:*"I've seen a lot of beautiful things in this world, and not one of them holds a candle to Aya, she's like that unobtainable beauty you dream about but in the flesh. Anyone could die happy in those arms.. But don't you go sayin' I said that!" [[War Bear]]<br />
:*"Huh? Oh! The blonde hyur! Barmaid? Fashionista? That woman has some real hip-sway in... everything she does, really... hmmmmm... huh? Oh, my apologies. I got a little distracted there... ahem! I wonder how many hearts she has broken already... I bet Ms. Momodi knows!" [[Reppu Hijiri]]<br />
:*"Miss Aya is very... cheerful. We met once, way out in Coerthas at the Festival of First Snows were she performed a poem. It was quite delightful, as was she. It's easy t'understand she has a following and why. Perhaps some day I might have opportunity to speak with her further." [[Odette Saoirse]]<br />
:*"She's pretty an' some kind o' fashion-warrior off fightin' wars with clothes, but... behind all o' that she's a very kind woman. One whose got th' right mindset ta makin' this world a little happier with every step she takes." [[Talan Dracht]]<br />
:*"She was full of spirit and only got the gender wrong of one person in the group." *she snorted and chuckled for a sec "But you wont find a faster and harder worker." [[Amandine Gerraldieux]]<br />
:*"Miss Aya is so lovely! I could praise her all day! She's perfect! Did you know she has this wonderful, wonderful smile that could spur the whole of Eorzea to heights never reached before?!" [[C'eleni Meztli]]<br />
:*"Huh? Miss Aya? She's soooooooo nice! And her cookies are the best ever! I wish I could see her more often." [[Leih Rhun]]<br />
:*"She's famous for her beauty and well regarded for her charm...but I would say it is Aya's sensitivity that makes her uniquely excellent, especially in a place like Ul'dah." [[Alexaria Whiteraven]]<br />

[[File:aya_kiss.png|right|400px]]<br />
Aya's primary work is at the Quick Sand, but she remains ever on the lookout for other opportunities for employment to supplement her income. While no longer interested in mercenary work, she would still consider a wide variety of opportunities (especially if the gil were good).<br />
*Entertaining<br />
*Modelling<br />
*Barmaiding/Bartending an event (though she would probably rather attend!)<br />
*She might consider any other non-violent opportunities that come her way!<br />

<br />
[[File:Aya_buckingbronco.png|500px]]<br />
*'''Modelling'''<br />
:*<u>Redolent Rose</u> A referral by one of her first customers at the Quick Sand earned Aya her first modelling work for Redolent Rose, one of Ul'dah's most prominent clothiers. She appeared in several shows for the Roegadyn, modelling that summer's new line of fashion.<br />
:*<u>Piquant Pumpkin Cafe</u> Hired by the Pumpkin Maestro himself, Aya was a recurring feature of the monthly cafe and its advertisements. She typically appeared in a white skirt, top, and mask claiming to be a 'ghost'. This outfit skirted Cafe employee rules which mandated a red mask, but no one really seemed to mind.<br />
:*<u>Dubious Distributions</u> It is rumored that Aya's friendship with [[Verad Bellveil]], proprietor of Ul'dah's Dubious Distributions resulted in the preparation of an entire campaign of advertising material that the reclusive Duskwight now keeps under lock and key. On the record he has denied the existence of a "Double D's for Double D" campaign in its entirety, but he has also been reportedly overheard muttering: ''"It really '''was''' amazing, but there is nothing whatsoever dubious about Miss Foxheart and I have a brand reputation to maintain."''<br />
:*<u>Otto Vann's Fight Club</u> When Otto Vann and [[Berrod Armstrong]] organized a fighting competition hosted at Forgotten Springs, it was decided that a bikini clad Aya would be the perfect accompaniment. The competition was not long-lived, but was among one of her favorite jobs and she made friends of several acquaintances through it. Her duties were mostly easy, but she was asked to announce for several of the competitions. <br />
:*<u>For Eorzea!</u> The most prominent campaign Aya has featured in. The Grand Companies of Eorzea hired her as the model for a series of motivational posters that were spread throughout the region to raise morale and boost recruitment. She was able to travel across Eorzea, meet interesting people, and have her image taken in beautiful locations in a myriad of outfits. It easily ranks among her most favorite experiences.<br />
:*<u>[[Otto Vann]] Fashions</u> When it came time for Otto Vann's much anticipated venture into Gridanian fashion, the model chosen to lead the effort was Aya Foxheart, riding the wave of popularity that followed the For Eorzea! campaign. She was employed to appear in almost daily shows and outings in one of the most intense fashion campaigns since the Calamity. The schedule was grueling, but Aya loved the opportunity to return to Gridania and especially enjoyed Vann's mixture of his trademark risque styling with the more conservative and natural tones of Shroud Sensibility.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
*'''Performances and Appearances'''<br />
:*<u>Fallgourd Float</u> During a period of transition Aya performed several times a week in Fallgourd Float's tavern. These shows lasted a few months before she moved on.<br />
:*<u>Celebration of the Fury</u> A celebration of Halone hosted by [[Jancis Milburga]]. Aya recited, ''A Sonnet for the Fury''. This event marked Aya's first return to Coerthas since her escape. Honoring the Fury was natural but not without hesitation: her words reflected just that.<br />
[[File:aya_chach_tonberry.jpg|right|thumb|upright=2.0|A Tonberry's Love]]<br />
:*<u>A Court of Cards Talent Competition</u> The Vylbrand and Soliloquy hosted this themed talent show. Aya's first public performance since arriving in Ul'dah. She sang and danced to the tune of a ''The Two of Hearts'', a light-hearted love song of her own composition. Her performance was not well received, perhaps a little too risque for the audience. <br />
:*<u>Celebration of the First Snow</u> [[Nathan Telluride]] hosted this celebration in Coerthas to mark the start of the winter season. Aya recited, ''First Snow'', a poem of her composition, and performed a choreographed dance with the accompaniment of a pair of musicians. Her dance interpreted the falling of a snow flake, with the interplay between the gentle tone of a violin, and the intrusions of a gale-like flute. <br />
:*<u>A Show of Hearts</u> [[Nathan Telluride]] and [[Ciel Sauveterre]] hosted this celebration of the maddest forms of love. Aya performed a light-hearted song and dance of her own composition: "A Tonberry's Love". She was accompanied by a musician, and by the star guest appearance of [[Chachanji Gegenji]] who appeared in full costume as the song's title Tonberry, giving chase throughout Aya's performance of the song.<br />
:*<u>Wayfarer's Poetry Competition</u> [[L'rinhi Kett]]'s Wayfarer Tavern hosted a contest of poetry. Aya composed and wrote an ode to the migratory flight of birds and the imagery she associates with it. The poem, "Won't you stay with me little bird?" won the contests First Prize, including a gil reward far beyond Aya's usual means.<br />
<br />
<center><u><b>Little Bird's Song</b></u><br><br />
<i>O, dear little bird! Sit and sing now for me?<br><br />
Tell me what it is like? What it is you have seen?<br><br />
Just how high can you fly? Just how far can you see?<br><br />
Of where you have come? And what lies between.<br><br />
Of fresh breaking Spring, the fall of warm rain,<br><br />
Of lifting grey fog stirred over the dale,<br><br />
Of rising sun's light 'cross broad open plain,<br><br />
Of winter thaw's sound in deep river vale.<br><br />
Of oceans wide calm and rivers loud roar,<br><br />
Of frost's nipping cold, which drove your long flight<br><br />
From where you were born, learned to sing, and to soar<br><br />
Now homeward you're bound, after winter's long night<br><br />
And here just to stay, to rest tired wing.<br><br />
So lucky we are, to hear the bird sing.</i></center><br />

Note: These are characteristic behaviors that Aya always displays, even when not indicated directly through emotes.<br />
[[File:aya_selfie.jpg|400px|right]]<br />
* Her body language is graceful and feminine.<br />
* She speaks with an Ishgardian accent<br />
* When dealing with someone who she believes is from the Ishgardian Houses, her manner will be considerably less friendly than usual<br />
* At times hints of a sharp intellect can be found behind all of the bright, silly cluelessness <br />

: Alexaria Whiteraven is well-built and her skin is quite tan. People call her pretty, though she has a long scar starting between her eyes and leading down her right cheek. Her nose is fairly long, her eyes are a bright ocean-blue, and her facepaint matches this color. Her most distinguishing feature is her white hair.<br />
<br />
: Alexaria (who will answer to Alex) may seem at first turn to be cold, or possibly aloof. People who speak to her, however, tend to point out she's very intelligent and quite concerned with the well-being of others. Her face rarely displays any sort of emotion other than the occasional raised or furrowed brow. She speaks clearly and in an even tone. She is usually very polite and her manner suggests trained etiquette.<br />
<br />
<font style="color:#0093AF;" size="2">'''★'''Information here may seem limited. This is intentional. Alexaria does not share details about her life or history freely. Anything listed here is reasonably public knowledge. Many (if not most) rumors about her are false.</font><br />

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Basic Info</div>===<br />
<table style="position:center;" width="75%"><br />
<br />
: Alexaria shuns the spotlight. She prefers to listen and watch from nearby or afar, and works by herself. Even so, she is a naturally curious woman like the ravens of her family's namesake, often approaching complete strangers with questions -- sometimes very frank questions. Even so she will stress that her intentions are never malign, and will politely cease inquiry or leave if her presence is an annoyance.<br />
<br />
<br />
: Alexaria dresses in distinct, personally-made garments most of the time. As a seamstress, she tends to model her own work when in public. She prefers comfort above all else...comfort, in her case, tends to be very revealing outfits that highlight her physique. Even when covering herself, she tries to wear clothing that breathes well and can shed the heat generated by activity (exercise, labor or fighting).<br />
<font style="color:#0093AF;" size="2">'''★'''The following are things that could be picked up by simply observing Alexaria for a time, and are facets of her life she makes no secret of. Though she suppresses emotion, she still has preferences about how she spends her time and things she avoids.</font><br />

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Biography</div>===<br />
<br />
Alexaria is very, very careful about speaking of her past. She shares some tales with a charming, nonchalant attitude while carefully withholding sensitive information. Anyone asking around the Quicksand is likely to pick up one or two "facts" about Alexaria--if you believe your character has reason to know anything in this section, you may proceed as long as you understand you will never have the whole story.<br />
<br />
=====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Childhood</div>=====<br />
<br />
Alexaria was born in Ala Mhigo, but only a few years before its fall to Garlemald. She recalls very little of her time there, as she left "in swaddling", rushed from the city by her father, south, to Ul'dah. He was able to bring a sizable portion of the Whiteraven family wealth, which he used to create a very successful moneylending and moneychanging business.<br />
<br />
Alexaria is open enough about her childhood--she describes herself as growing up a bit spoiled, "with a silver spoon in my mouth", as the daughter of a wealthy businessman might be. She never wanted for anything until her adolescence, when her father sent her to an all-girls private school in the Black Shroud. Suddenly, everything Alexaria knew had changed.<br />
<br />
No longer able to wallow in her father's opulence, Alexaria was subjected to a rigorous curriculum and made to live in a dormitory on the grounds of her school. As a teenager, Alex found it grueling in contrast to her idyllic childhood; in retrospect, she sees how easy it was--physically--compared to the harshness of life for the unwealthy laborers who support Ul'dah every day. However, she will never forgive her scholastic experiences for anything but what they were: indoctrination to be the ideal wife of a wealthy businessman or noble.<br />
<br />
Alexaria railed against her teachers and the school staff, breaking rules and inviting them to punish her as far as their disciplinary mandate allowed them. Her brashness made her popular, and soon she had a clique of girls that seemed to worship her, after only two years. She also butted heads with many of the other popular girls who could not see why Alex insisted on causing trouble and looked down on her for being "sexless, careless and rude" (as one girl put it).<br />
<br />
In her second year, Alexaria became aware of a new student who also had little love of the institution, and had been similarly "sentenced" to the school to "straighten her out". Initially the girls fought over nearly everything, being rivals in all physical activities and arguing constantly whenever near each other. Eventually they started having real fights, with Alexaria having the snot knocked out of her regularly by the far more aggressive girl. When confronted on their bouts, the girls lied to protect themselves and ended up protecting each other, gaining a measure of admiration in each others' eyes.<br />
<br />
The two started an "extracurricular activities group", ostensibly giving other girls a chance to do more physical education. In truth, it was a fight club--Alexaria saw this as an excellent way to give her classmates confidence, and erode the indoctrination of the school. It was at this time that Alexaria realized how she felt about girls in general, and her one-time rival became her first and closest lover. Other girls in the club began to experiment as well.<br />
<br />
When stories began to circulate about the club (and bruises became more visible on the faces of its members), the school sought to suppress all such activity. One girl--a member who had once sought to quash Alex's popularity--decided she would remove Alexaria as an obstacle by pitting her against her best friend. Through her manipulations, Alexaria and the other girl scarred each others' faces in a nearly-mortal knife fight, and were summarily expelled.<br />
<br />
This was a week before the Calamity.<br />
<br />
=====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Post-Calamity</div>=====<br />
<br />
Alexaria will be the first person to tell you she lost everything in the Calamity--and the first to point out she is hardly unique in this. She shows great sympathy to those who lost loved ones in the tragedy and downplays her own experiences.<br />
<br />
In truth, Alexaria lived homeless for a year, selling the clothes off her back just for food, and nearly starved to death. She speaks little of what she did to survive at this time, and certainly gives no reason for her reticence--but its clear this was a major change in her life.<br />
<br />
The school which had expelled her was destroyed in Bahamut's attack and Alex knows nothing of the girls who had gone there--she notes that Dalamud's approach sent many of the girls home before the actual attacks began, so its possible many of them survived, but she doesn't seem to care enough to find out.<br />
<br />
After a year of barely having enough food to keep her alive and looking very much like an Ala Mhigan refugee, Alexaria started looking for work. Business began to reopen as people sought to rebuild their lives. But without any experience in manual labor, Alexaria was turned away from every job she applied to, until finally getting a job as a waitress... in a Burlesque House.<br />
<br />
The establishment known as ''Up Your Street'' was located on Pearl Lane and boasted "the prettiest girls in the Thanalan, giving (and showing) their all for our faithful customers!" While some might deride the business as a glorified strip club, ''Up Your Street'' actually took very good care of its employees and turned out any patrons who attempted to force the girls to do anything but sing, dance and tell jokes. Alexaria found a measure of family in the business, and for the first time in years, felt happy to be alive.<br />
<br />
While she made decent money serving drinks, Alexaria shunned the spotlight, especially the idea of revealing her body to strangers. The malnutrition she suffered previously had left her skinny and eroded her natural athleticism, and she felt clumsy and ungraceful. But, after hours one night, she began to sing as she had at school--unaware that much of the management was having a meeting in back. They asked Alex to show them how she danced, and though she thought she might fall over at any moment, the owners were impressed and offered Alexaria work as a dancing girl (second string) in some of the easier stage shows.<br />
<br />
Alexaria started working out and spent her money on healthy food, building back up the muscle she had when the fight club was at its peak. Dancing gave her a smooth, hard body and the confidence to work her way up until she was singing numbers by herself--sometimes the main attraction of the night. Unfortunately, such success was short lived as the laws of Ul'dah changed, allowing dancing girls to appear on the streets. Which such cheap titillation in high supply, ''Up Your Street'' found their business dwindle to nothing and closed down.<br />
<br />
What happened next is barely known to anyone, but what Alexaria will tell people is that she left Eorzea, and her citizenship was revoked after a prolonged absence. When she returned, her body had changed from that of an athletic dancer to a fighting powerhouse, and her demeanor had become that of a careful and emotionless spectre living at the edges of society. She registered with the Pugilist and Weavers guilds, and began a new and quiet life.<br />

<br />
: <font style="color:#00B7EB;" size="3">★</font> [[Natalie Mcbeef]] - One of the first people Alexaria met upon returning home to Ul'dah. Alexaria greatly respects Natalie, and offers the Miqo'te counsel whenever asked. She thinks Natalie's long hair looks wonderful.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#00B7EB;" size="3">★</font> [[Chachanji Gegenji]] - Alexaria holds the small but stalwart smith in very high regard. She appreciates his honesty and positive attitude, and speaks praise of him without prompting. She only worries that her care will embarrass him, and tries to be careful of his feelings.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#00B7EB;" size="3">★</font> [[Kage Kiryuu]] - Alexaria enjoys Kage's company a great deal, being more at ease with him than just about anyone she knows. She always tries to speak with him where ever she finds him.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#00B7EB;" size="3">★</font> [[Chokho Viqqoh]] - Chokho is one of the few flirtatious women Alexaria seems relaxed around. Chokho is more accepting of Alexaria's lifestyle and personal choice than many of Alex's other acquaintances, and for this Alex is deeply thankful. They peacefully disagree on some points, but Alexaria trusts Chokho--even though she is keeping a careful eye on the dark Miqo'te's actions.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#008080;" size="3">★</font> [[Ennara Calian]] - Ennara and Alexaria grew quite close over the span of a few weeks--eventually growing too close for comfort (for Alexaria at least). Ennara took their "break up" fairly roughly, but Alexaria wants to maintain a healthy relationship with Ennara over the long term.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#71BC78;" size="3">●</font> [[Nazeru Auronas]] - Though their relationship began with Nazeru making passes at Alexaria, Alexaria's refusal to show emotion frustrates Nazeru. The redhead is quick to pass judgement on Alexaria's actions, but Alexaria does not hold any sort of grudge against Nazeru.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#008080;" size="3">★</font>[[Augustine Frost]] - Dirty and unkempt Augustine may be, but Alexaria sees in him something he refuses to believe exists: a heart. Her chief concern is that he will actively try to stamp it out instead of accepting that he could be cared for honestly.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#960018;" size="3">■</font> [[Marrow Ochi]] - Alexaria doesn't quite believe Marrow is the Primal she says she is, but harbors concern over what could happen if Marrow actually is.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#008080;" size="3">★</font>[[Trisselle Ganathain]] - Alexaria holds this Duskwight in high regard, and her poise reminds Alex that Duskwights must always be judged person to person. Though they seem to float in different circles, Alexaria tries to make time for Trisselle when she can.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#71BC78;" size="3">●</font>[[Silonon Chandra]] - An eccentric Hyur that Alexaria finds, above all else, entertaining. She has decided to be more careful in her dealings with him after a few odd events, but would come to the Midlander's aid any time.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#960018;" size="3">■</font>[[K'weh Featherstroud]] - She once admired "Feather" for his singing skill and modesty, but the ease with which the Miqo'te turned to violence during a stressful encounter keeps Alexaria at a distance, for now.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#71BC78;" size="3">●</font> [[U'zhan Tia]] - The dark-skinned Miqo'te bewilders Alexaria at times. She watches his interactions with other of her acquaintances carefully, apparently trying to "figure him out".<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#71BC78;" size="3">●</font>[[Haruki Aoyuki]] - Though she's only met the gentleman briefly, she has great respect for people who say little (whether by choice or circumstance). Obviously, since he doesn't speak, she's very curious about him.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#71BC78;" size="3">●</font> [[Araswel Dakwhil]] - Alexaria respects Araswel as a fighter and as a teacher, though she feels she has little to learn from the Miqo'te battlemaster. Alex feels Araswel's martial focus may be too narrow, and hopes Araswel has something meaningful to fight for--or at least, has a non-combative hobby.<br />

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Biography</div>===<br />
<br />
Alexaria is very, very careful about speaking of her past. She shares some tales with a charming, nonchalant attitude while carefully withholding sensitive information. Anyone asking around the Quicksand is likely to pick up one or two "facts" about Alexaria--if you believe your character has reason to know anything in this section, you may proceed as long as you understand you will never have the whole story.<br />
<br />
=====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Childhood</div>=====<br />
<br />
Alexaria was born in Ala Mhigo, but only a few years before its fall to Garlemald. She recalls very little of her time there, as she left "in swaddling", rushed from the city by her father, south, to Ul'dah. He was able to bring a sizable portion of the Whiteraven family wealth, which he used to create a very successful moneylending and moneychanging business.<br />
<br />
Alexaria is open enough about her childhood--she describes herself as growing up a bit spoiled, "with a silver spoon in my mouth", as the daughter of a wealthy businessman might be. She never wanted for anything until her adolescence, when her father sent her to an all-girls private school in the Black Shroud. Suddenly, everything Alexaria knew had changed.<br />
<br />
No longer able to wallow in her father's opulence, Alexaria was subjected to a rigorous curriculum and made to live in a dormitory on the grounds of her school. As a teenager, Alex found it grueling in contrast to her idyllic childhood; in retrospect, she sees how easy it was--physically--compared to the harshness of life for the unwealthy laborers who support Ul'dah every day. However, she will never forgive her scholastic experiences for anything but what they were: indoctrination to be the ideal wife of a wealthy businessman or noble.<br />
<br />
Alexaria railed against her teachers and the school staff, breaking rules and inviting them to punish her as far as their disciplinary mandate allowed them. Her brashness made her popular, and soon she had a clique of girls that seemed to worship her, after only two years. She also butted heads with many of the other popular girls who could not see why Alex insisted on causing trouble and looked down on her for being "sexless, careless and rude" (as one girl put it).<br />
<br />
In her second year, Alexaria became aware of a new student who also had little love of the institution, and had been similarly "sentenced" to the school to "straighten her out". Initially the girls fought over nearly everything, being rivals in all physical activities and arguing constantly whenever near each other. Eventually they started having real fights, with Alexaria having the snot knocked out of her regularly by the far more aggressive girl. When confronted on their bouts, the girls lied to protect themselves and ended up protecting each other, gaining a measure of admiration in each others' eyes.<br />
<br />
The two started an "extracurricular activities group", ostensibly giving other girls a chance to do more physical education. In truth, it was a fight club--Alexaria saw this as an excellent way to give her classmates confidence, and erode the indoctrination of the school. It was at this time that Alexaria realized how she felt about girls in general, and her one-time rival became her first and closest lover. Other girls in the club began to experiment as well.<br />
<br />
When stories began to circulate about the club (and bruises became more visible on the faces of its members), the school sought to suppress all such activity. One girl--a member who had once sought to quash Alex's popularity--decided she would remove Alexaria as an obstacle by pitting her against her best friend. Through her manipulations, Alexaria and the other girl scarred each others' faces in a nearly-mortal knife fight, and were summarily expelled.<br />
<br />
This was a week before the Calamity.<br />
<br />
=====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Post-Calamity</div>=====<br />
<br />
Alexaria will be the first person to tell you she lost everything in the Calamity--and the first to point out she is hardly unique in this. She shows great sympathy to those who lost loved ones in the tragedy and downplays her own experiences.<br />
<br />
In truth, Alexaria lived homeless for a year, selling the clothes off her back just for food, and nearly starved to death. She speaks little of what she did to survive at this time, and certainly gives no reason for her reticence--but its clear this was a major change in her life.<br />
<br />
The school which had expelled her was destroyed in Bahamut's attack and Alex knows nothing of the girls who had gone there--she notes that Dalamud's approach sent many of the girls home before the actual attacks began, so its possible many of them survived, but she doesn't seem to care enough to find out.<br />
<br />
After a year of barely having enough food to keep her alive and looking very much like an Ala Mhigan refugee, Alexaria started looking for work. Business began to reopen as people sought to rebuild their lives. But without any experience in manual labor, Alexaria was turned away from every job she applied to, until finally getting a job as a waitress... in a Burlesque House.<br />
<br />
The establishment known as ''Up Your Street'' was located on Pearl Lane and boasted "the prettiest girls in the Thanalan, giving (and showing) their all for our faithful customers!" While some might deride the business as a glorified strip club, ''Up Your Street'' actually took very good care of its employees and turned out any patrons who attempted to force the girls to do anything but sing, dance and tell jokes. Alexaria found a measure of family in the business, and for the first time in years, felt happy to be alive.<br />
<br />
While she made decent money serving drinks, Alexaria shunned the spotlight, especially the idea of revealing her body to strangers. The malnutrition she suffered previously had left her skinny and eroded her natural athleticism, and she felt clumsy and ungraceful. But, after hours one night, she began to sing as she had at school--unaware that much of the management was having a meeting in back. They asked Alex to show them how she danced, and though she thought she might fall over at any moment, the owners were impressed and offered Alexaria work as a dancing girl (second string) in some of the easier stage shows.<br />
<br />
Alexaria started working out and spent her money on healthy food, building back up the muscle she had when the fight club was at its peak. Dancing gave her a smooth, hard body and the confidence to work her way up until she was singing numbers by herself--sometimes the main attraction of the night. Unfortunately, such success was short lived as the laws of Ul'dah changed, allowing dancing girls to appear on the streets. Which such cheap titillation in high supply, ''Up Your Street'' found their business dwindle to nothing and closed down.<br />
<br />
What happened next is barely known to anyone, but what Alexaria will tell people is that she left Eorzea, and her citizenship was revoked after a prolonged absence. When she returned, her body had changed from that of an athletic dancer to a fighting powerhouse, and her demeanor had become that of a careful and emotionless spectre living at the edges of society. She registered with the Pugilist and Weavers guilds, and began a new and quiet life.<br />

<br />
: <font style="color:#00B7EB;" size="3">★</font> [[Natalie Mcbeef]] - One of the first people Alexaria met upon returning home to Ul'dah. Alexaria greatly respects Natalie, and offers the Miqo'te counsel whenever asked. She thinks Natalie's long hair looks wonderful.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#00B7EB;" size="3">★</font> [[Chachanji Gegenji]] - Alexaria holds the small but stalwart smith in very high regard. She appreciates his honesty and positive attitude, and speaks praise of him without prompting. She only worries that her care will embarrass him, and tries to be careful of his feelings.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#00B7EB;" size="3">★</font> [[Kage Kiryuu]] - Alexaria enjoys Kage's company a great deal, being more at ease with him than just about anyone she knows. She always tries to speak with him where ever she finds him.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#00B7EB;" size="3">★</font> [[Chokho Viqqoh]] - Chokho is one of the few flirtatious women Alexaria seems relaxed around. Chokho is more accepting of Alexaria's lifestyle and personal choice than many of Alex's other acquaintances, and for this Alex is deeply thankful. They peacefully disagree on some points, but Alexaria trusts Chokho--even though she is keeping a careful eye on the dark Miqo'te's actions.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#008080;" size="3">★</font> [[Ennara Calian]] - Ennara and Alexaria grew quite close over the span of a few weeks--eventually growing too close for comfort (for Alexaria at least). Ennara took their "break up" fairly roughly, but Alexaria wants to maintain a healthy relationship with Ennara over the long term.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#71BC78;" size="3">●</font> [[Nazeru Auronas]] - Though their relationship began with Nazeru making passes at Alexaria, Alexaria's refusal to show emotion frustrates Nazeru. The redhead is quick to pass judgement on Alexaria's actions, but Alexaria does not hold any sort of grudge against Nazeru.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#008080;" size="3">★</font>[[Augustine Frost]] - Dirty and unkempt Augustine may be, but Alexaria sees in him something he refuses to believe exists: a heart. Her chief concern is that he will actively try to stamp it out instead of accepting that he could be cared for honestly.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#960018;" size="3">■</font> [[Marrow Ochi]] - Alexaria doesn't quite believe Marrow is the Primal she says she is, but harbors concern over what could happen if Marrow actually is.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#008080;" size="3">★</font>[[Trisselle Ganathain]] - Alexaria holds this Duskwight in high regard, and her poise reminds Alex that Duskwights must always be judged person to person. Though they seem to float in different circles, Alexaria tries to make time for Trisselle when she can.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#71BC78;" size="3">●</font>[[Silonon Chandra]] - An eccentric Hyur that Alexaria finds, above all else, entertaining. She has decided to be more careful in her dealings with him after a few odd events, but would come to the Midlander's aid any time.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#960018;" size="3">■</font>[[K'weh Featherstroud]] - She once admired "Feather" for his singing skill and modesty, but the ease with which the Miqo'te turned to violence during a stressful encounter keeps Alexaria at a distance, for now.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#71BC78;" size="3">●</font> [[U'zhan Tia]] - The dark-skinned Miqo'te bewilders Alexaria at times. She watches his interactions with other of her acquaintances carefully, apparently trying to "figure him out".<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#71BC78;" size="3">●</font>[[Haruki Aoyuki]] - Though she's only met the gentleman briefly, she has great respect for people who say little (whether by choice or circumstance). Obviously, since he doesn't speak, she's very curious about him.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#71BC78;" size="3">●</font> [[Araswel Dakwhil]] - Alexaria respects Araswel as a fighter and as a teacher, though she feels she has little to learn from the Miqo'te battlemaster. Alex feels Araswel's martial focus may be too narrow, and hopes Araswel has something meaningful to fight for--or at least, has a non-combative hobby.<br />

: Alexaria Whiteraven is well-built and her skin is quite tan. People call her pretty, though she has a long scar starting between her eyes and leading down her right cheek. Her nose is fairly long, her eyes are a bright ocean-blue, and her facepaint matches this color. Her most distinguishing feature is her white hair.<br />
<br />
: Alexaria (who will answer to Alex) may seem at first turn to be cold, or possibly aloof. People who speak to her, however, tend to point out she's very intelligent and not unkind. Her face rarely displays any sort of emotion other than the occasional raised or furrowed brow. She speaks clearly and in an even tone. She is usually very polite and her manner suggests trained etiquette.<br />

<br />
Alexaria is very, very careful about speaking of her past. She shares some tales with a charming, nonchalant attitude while carefully withholding sensitive information. Anyone asking around the Quicksand is likely to pick up one or two "facts" about Alexaria--if you believe your character has reason to know anything in this section, you may proceed as long as you understand you will never have the whole story.<br />
<br />
=====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Childhood</div>=====<br />
<br />
Alexaria was born in Ala Mhigo, but only a few years before its fall to Garlemald. She recalls very little of her time there, as she left "in swaddling", rushed from the city by her father, south, to Ul'dah. He was able to bring a sizable portion of the Whiteraven family wealth, which he used to create a very successful moneylending and moneychanging business.<br />
<br />
Alexaria is open enough about her childhood--she describes herself as growing up a bit spoiled, "with a silver spoon in my mouth", as the daughter of a wealthy businessman might be. She never wanted for anything until her adolescence, when her father sent her to an all-girls private school in the Black Shroud. Suddenly, everything Alexaria knew had changed.<br />
<br />
No longer able to wallow in her father's opulence, Alexaria was subjected to a rigorous curriculum and made to live in a dormitory on the grounds of her school. As a teenager, Alex found it grueling in contrast to her idyllic childhood; in retrospect, she sees how easy it was--physically--compared to the harshness of life for the unwealthy laborers who support Ul'dah every day. However, she will never forgive her scholastic experiences for anything but what they were: indoctrination to be the ideal wife of a wealthy businessman or noble.<br />
<br />
Alexaria railed against her teachers and the school staff, breaking rules and inviting them to punish her as far as their disciplinary mandate allowed them. Her brashness made her popular, and soon she had a clique of girls that seemed to worship her, after only two years. She also butted heads with many of the other popular girls who could not see why Alex insisted on causing trouble and looked down on her for being "sexless, careless and rude" (as one girl put it).<br />
<br />
In her second year, Alexaria became aware of a new student who also had little love of the institution, and had been similarly "sentenced" to the school to "straighten her out". Initially the girls fought over nearly everything, being rivals in all physical activities and arguing constantly whenever near each other. Eventually they started having real fights, with Alexaria having the snot knocked out of her regularly by the far more aggressive girl. When confronted on their bouts, the girls lied to protect themselves and ended up protecting each other, gaining a measure of admiration in each others' eyes.<br />
<br />
The two started an "extracurricular activities group", ostensibly giving other girls a chance to do more physical education. In truth, it was a fight club--Alexaria saw this as an excellent way to give her classmates confidence, and erode the indoctrination of the school. It was at this time that Alexaria realized how she felt about girls in general, and her one-time rival became her first and closest lover. Other girls in the club began to experiment as well.<br />
<br />
When stories began to circulate about the club (and bruises became more visible on the faces of its members), the school sought to suppress all such activity. One girl--a member who had once sought to quash Alex's popularity--decided she would remove Alexaria as an obstacle by pitting her against her best friend. Through her manipulations, Alexaria and the other girl scarred each others' faces in a nearly-mortal knife fight, and were summarily expelled.<br />
<br />
This was a week before the Calamity.<br />
<br />
=====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Post-Calamity</div>=====<br />
<br />
Alexaria will be the first person to tell you she lost everything in the Calamity--and the first to point out she is hardly unique in this. She shows great sympathy to those who lost loved ones in the tragedy and downplays her own experiences.<br />
<br />
In truth, Alexaria lived homeless for a year, selling the clothes off her back just for food, and nearly starved to death. She speaks little of what she did to survive at this time, and certainly gives no reason for her reticence--but its clear this was a major change in her life.<br />
<br />
The school which had expelled her was destroyed in Bahamut's attack and Alex knows nothing of the girls who had gone there--she notes that Dalamud's approach sent many of the girls home before the actual attacks began, so its possible many of them survived, but she doesn't seem to care enough to find out.<br />
<br />
After a year of barely having enough food to keep her alive and looking very much like an Ala Mhigan refugee, Alexaria started looking for work. Business began to reopen as people sought to rebuild their lives. But without any experience in manual labor, Alexaria was turned away from every job she applied to, until finally getting a job as a waitress... in a Burlesque House.<br />
<br />
The establishment known as ''Up Your Street'' was located on Pearl Lane and boasted "the prettiest girls in the Thanalan, giving (and showing) their all for our faithful customers!" While some might deride the business as a glorified strip club, ''Up Your Street'' actually took very good care of its employees and turned out any patrons who attempted to force the girls to do anything but sing, dance and tell jokes. Alexaria found a measure of family in the business, and for the first time in years, felt happy to be alive.<br />
<br />
While she made decent money serving drinks, Alexaria shunned the spotlight, especially the idea of revealing her body to strangers. The malnutrition she suffered previously had left her skinny and eroded her natural athleticism, and she felt clumsy and ungraceful. But, after hours one night, she began to sing as she had at school--unaware that much of the management was having a meeting in back. They asked Alex to show them how she danced, and though she thought she might fall over at any moment, the owners were impressed and offered Alexaria work as a dancing girl (second string) in some of the easier stage shows.<br />
<br />
Alexaria started working out and spent her money on healthy food, building back up the muscle she had when the fight club was at its peak. Dancing gave her a smooth, hard body and the confidence to work her way up until she was singing numbers by herself--sometimes the main attraction of the night. Unfortunately, such success was short lived as the laws of Ul'dah changed, allowing dancing girls to appear on the streets. Which such cheap titillation in high supply, ''Up Your Street'' found their business dwindle to nothing and closed down.<br />
<br />
What happened next is barely known to anyone, but what Alexaria will tell people is that she left Eorzea, and her citizenship was revoked after a prolonged absence. When she returned, her body had changed from that of an athletic dancer to a fighting powerhouse, and her demeanor had become that of a careful and emotionless spectre living at the edges of society. She registered with the Pugilist and Weavers guilds, and began a new and quiet life.<br />

<br />
: <font style="color:#00B7EB;" size="3">★</font> [[Natalie Mcbeef]] - One of the first people Alexaria met upon returning home to Ul'dah. Alexaria greatly respects Natalie, and offers the Miqo'te counsel whenever asked. She thinks Natalie's long hair looks wonderful.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#00B7EB;" size="3">★</font> [[Chachanji Gegenji]] - Alexaria holds the small but stalwart smith in very high regard. She appreciates his honesty and positive attitude, and speaks praise of him without prompting. She only worries that her care will embarrass him, and tries to be careful of his feelings.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#00B7EB;" size="3">★</font> [[Kage Kiryuu]] - Alexaria enjoys Kage's company a great deal, being more at ease with him than just about anyone she knows. She always tries to speak with him where ever she finds him.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#00B7EB;" size="3">★</font> [[Chokho Viqqoh]] - Chokho is one of the few flirtatious women Alexaria seems relaxed around. Chokho is more accepting of Alexaria's lifestyle and personal choice than many of Alex's other acquaintances, and for this Alex is deeply thankful. They peacefully disagree on some points, but Alexaria trusts Chokho--even though she is keeping a careful eye on the dark Miqo'te's actions.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#008080;" size="3">★</font> [[Ennara Calian]] - Ennara and Alexaria grew quite close over the span of a few weeks--eventually growing too close for comfort (for Alexaria at least). Ennara took their "break up" fairly roughly, but Alexaria wants to maintain a healthy relationship with Ennara over the long term.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#71BC78;" size="3">●</font> [[Nazeru Auronas]] - Though their relationship began with Nazeru making passes at Alexaria, Alexaria's refusal to show emotion frustrates Nazeru. The redhead is quick to pass judgement on Alexaria's actions, but Alexaria does not hold any sort of grudge against Nazeru.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#008080;" size="3">★</font>[[Augustine Frost]] - Dirty and unkempt Augustine may be, but Alexaria sees in him something he refuses to believe exists: a heart. Her chief concern is that he will actively try to stamp it out instead of accepting that he could be cared for honestly.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#960018;" size="3">■</font> [[Marrow Ochi]] - Alexaria doesn't quite believe Marrow is the Primal she says she is, but harbors concern over what could happen if Marrow actually is.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#008080;" size="3">★</font>[[Trisselle Ganathain]] - Alexaria holds this Duskwight in high regard, and her poise reminds Alex that Duskwights must always be judged person to person. Though they seem to float in different circles, Alexaria tries to make time for Trisselle when she can.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#71BC78;" size="3">●</font>[[Silonon Chandra]] - An eccentric Hyur that Alexaria finds, above all else, entertaining. She has decided to be more careful in her dealings with him after a few odd events, but would come to the Midlander's aid any time.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#960018;" size="3">■</font>[[K'weh Featherstroud]] - She once admired "Feather" for his singing skill and modesty, but the ease with which the Miqo'te turned to violence during a stressful encounter keeps Alexaria at a distance, for now.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#71BC78;" size="3">●</font> [[U'zhan Tia]] - The dark-skinned Miqo'te bewilders Alexaria at times. She watches his interactions with other of her acquaintances carefully, apparently trying to "figure him out".<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#71BC78;" size="3">●</font>[[Haruki Aoyuki]] - Though she's only met the gentleman briefly, she has great respect for people who say little (whether by choice or circumstance). Obviously, since he doesn't speak, she's very curious about him.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#71BC78;" size="3">●</font> [[Araswel Dakwhil]] - Alexaria respects Araswel as a fighter and as a teacher, though she feels she has little to learn from the Miqo'te battlemaster. Alex feels Araswel's martial focus may be too narrow, and hopes Araswel has something meaningful to fight for--or at least, has a non-combative hobby.<br />

: Alexaria Whiteraven is well-built and her skin is quite tan. People call her pretty, though she has a long scar starting between her eyes and leading down her right cheek. Her nose is fairly long, her eyes are a bright ocean-blue, and her facepaint matches this color. Her most distinguishing feature is her white hair.<br />
<br />
: Alexaria (who will answer to Alex) may seem at first turn to be cold, or possibly aloof. People who speak to her, however, tend to point out she's very intelligent and not unkind. Her face rarely displays any sort of emotion other than the occasional raised or furrowed brow. She speaks clearly and in an even tone. She is usually very polite and her manner suggests trained etiquette.<br />
<br />
<font style="color:#0093AF;" size="2">'''★'''Information here may seem limited. This is intentional. Alexaria does not share details about her life or history freely. Anything listed here is reasonably public knowledge. Many (if not most) rumors about her are false.</font><br />

<table style="position:center;" width="75%"><br />
<br />
: Alexaria shuns the spotlight. She prefers to listen and watch from nearby or afar, and works by herself. Even so, she is a naturally curious woman like the ravens of her family's namesake, often approaching complete strangers with questions -- sometimes very frank questions. Even so she will stress that her intentions are never malign, and will politely cease inquiry or leave if her presence is an annoyance.<br />
<br />
<br />
: Alexaria dresses in distinct, personally-made garments most of the time. As a seamstress, she tends to model her own work when in public. She prefers comfort above all else...comfort, in her case, tends to be very revealing outfits that highlight her physique. Even when covering herself, she tries to wear clothing that breathes well and can shed the heat generated by activity (exercise, labor or fighting).<br />
<font style="color:#0093AF;" size="2">'''★'''The following are things that could be picked up by simply observing Alexaria for a time, and are facets of her life she makes no secret of. Though she suppresses emotion, she still has preferences about how she spends her time and things she avoids.</font><br />

<br />
Alexaria is very, very careful about speaking of her past. She shares some tales with a charming, nonchalant attitude while carefully withholding sensitive information. Anyone asking around the Quicksand is likely to pick up one or two "facts" about Alexaria--if you believe your character has reason to know anything in this section, you may proceed as long as you understand you will never have the whole story.<br />
<br />
=====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Childhood</div>=====<br />
<br />
Alexaria was born in Ala Mhigo, but only a few years before its fall to Garlemald. She recalls very little of her time there, as she left "in swaddling", rushed from the city by her father, south, to Ul'dah. He was able to bring a sizable portion of the Whiteraven family wealth, which he used to create a very successful moneylending and moneychanging business.<br />
<br />
Alexaria is open enough about her childhood--she describes herself as growing up a bit spoiled, "with a silver spoon in my mouth", as the daughter of a wealthy businessman might be. She never wanted for anything until her adolescence, when her father sent her to an all-girls private school in the Black Shroud. Suddenly, everything Alexaria knew had changed.<br />
<br />
No longer able to wallow in her father's opulence, Alexaria was subjected to a rigorous curriculum and made to live in a dormitory on the grounds of her school. As a teenager, Alex found it grueling in contrast to her idyllic childhood; in retrospect, she sees how easy it was--physically--compared to the harshness of life for the unwealthy laborers who support Ul'dah every day. However, she will never forgive her scholastic experiences for anything but what they were: indoctrination to be the ideal wife of a wealthy businessman or noble.<br />
<br />
Alexaria railed against her teachers and the school staff, breaking rules and inviting them to punish her as far as their disciplinary mandate allowed them. Her brashness made her popular, and soon she had a clique of girls that seemed to worship her, after only two years. She also butted heads with many of the other popular girls who could not see why Alex insisted on causing trouble and looked down on her for being "sexless, careless and rude" (as one girl put it).<br />
<br />
In her second year, Alexaria became aware of a new student who also had little love of the institution, and had been similarly "sentenced" to the school to "straighten her out". Initially the girls fought over nearly everything, being rivals in all physical activities and arguing constantly whenever near each other. Eventually they started having real fights, with Alexaria having the snot knocked out of her regularly by the far more aggressive girl. When confronted on their bouts, the girls lied to protect themselves and ended up protecting each other, gaining a measure of admiration in each others' eyes.<br />
<br />
The two started an "extracurricular activities group", ostensibly giving other girls a chance to do more physical education. In truth, it was a fight club--Alexaria saw this as an excellent way to give her classmates confidence, and erode the indoctrination of the school. It was at this time that Alexaria realized how she felt about girls in general, and her one-time rival became her first and closest lover. Other girls in the club began to experiment as well.<br />
<br />
When stories began to circulate about the club (and bruises became more visible on the faces of its members), the school sought to suppress all such activity. One girl--a member who had once sought to quash Alex's popularity--decided she would remove Alexaria as an obstacle by pitting her against her best friend. Through her manipulations, Alexaria and the other girl scarred each others' faces in a nearly-mortal knife fight, and were summarily expelled.<br />
<br />
This was a week before the Calamity.<br />
<br />
=====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Post-Calamity</div>=====<br />
<br />
Alexaria will be the first person to tell you she lost everything in the Calamity--and the first to point out she is hardly unique in this. She shows great sympathy to those who lost loved ones in the tragedy and downplays her own experiences.<br />
<br />
In truth, Alexaria lived homeless for a year, selling the clothes off her back just for food, and nearly starved to death. She speaks little of what she did to survive at this time, and certainly gives no reason for her reticence--but its clear this was a major change in her life.<br />
<br />
The school which had expelled her was destroyed in Bahamut's attack and Alex knows nothing of the girls who had gone there--she notes that Dalamud's approach sent many of the girls home before the actual attacks began, so its possible many of them survived, but she doesn't seem to care enough to find out.<br />
<br />
After a year of barely having enough food to keep her alive and looking very much like an Ala Mhigan refugee, Alexaria started looking for work. Business began to reopen as people sought to rebuild their lives. But without any experience in manual labor, Alexaria was turned away from every job she applied to, until finally getting a job as a waitress... in a Burlesque House.<br />
<br />
The establishment known as ''Up Your Street'' was located on Pearl Lane and boasted "the prettiest girls in the Thanalan, giving (and showing) their all for our faithful customers!" While some might deride the business as a glorified strip club, ''Up Your Street'' actually took very good care of its employees and turned out any patrons who attempted to force the girls to do anything but sing, dance and tell jokes. Alexaria found a measure of family in the business, and for the first time in years, felt happy to be alive.<br />
<br />
While she made decent money serving drinks, Alexaria shunned the spotlight, especially the idea of revealing her body to strangers. The malnutrition she suffered previously had left her skinny and eroded her natural athleticism, and she felt clumsy and ungraceful. But, after hours one night, she began to sing as she had at school--unaware that much of the management was having a meeting in back. They asked Alex to show them how she danced, and though she thought she might fall over at any moment, the owners were impressed and offered Alexaria work as a dancing girl (second string) in some of the easier stage shows.<br />
<br />
Alexaria started working out and spent her money on healthy food, building back up the muscle she had when the fight club was at its peak. Dancing gave her a smooth, hard body and the confidence to work her way up until she was singing numbers by herself--sometimes the main attraction of the night. Unfortunately, such success was short lived as the laws of Ul'dah changed, allowing dancing girls to appear on the streets. Which such cheap titillation in high supply, ''Up Your Street'' found their business dwindle to nothing and closed down.<br />
<br />
What happened next is barely known to anyone, but what Alexaria will tell people is that she left Eorzea, and her citizenship was revoked after a prolonged absence. When she returned, her body had changed from that of an athletic dancer to a fighting powerhouse, and her demeanor had become that of a careful and emotionless spectre living at the edges of society. She registered with the Pugilist and Weavers guilds, and began a new and quiet life.<br />

<br />
: <font style="color:#00B7EB;" size="3">★</font> [[Natalie Mcbeef]] - One of the first people Alexaria met upon returning home to Ul'dah. Alexaria greatly respects Natalie, and offers the Miqo'te counsel whenever asked. She thinks Natalie's long hair looks wonderful.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#00B7EB;" size="3">★</font> [[Chachanji Gegenji]] - Alexaria holds the small but stalwart smith in very high regard. She appreciates his honesty and positive attitude, and speaks praise of him without prompting. She only worries that her care will embarrass him, and tries to be careful of his feelings.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#00B7EB;" size="3">★</font> [[Kage Kiryuu]] - Alexaria enjoys Kage's company a great deal, being more at ease with him than just about anyone she knows. She always tries to speak with him where ever she finds him.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#00B7EB;" size="3">★</font> [[Chokho Viqqoh]] - Chokho is one of the few flirtatious women Alexaria seems relaxed around. Chokho is more accepting of Alexaria's lifestyle and personal choice than many of Alex's other acquaintances, and for this Alex is deeply thankful. They peacefully disagree on some points, but Alexaria trusts Chokho--even though she is keeping a careful eye on the dark Miqo'te's actions.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#008080;" size="3">★</font> [[Ennara Calian]] - Ennara and Alexaria grew quite close over the span of a few weeks--eventually growing too close for comfort (for Alexaria at least). Ennara took their "break up" fairly roughly, but Alexaria wants to maintain a healthy relationship with Ennara over the long term.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#71BC78;" size="3">●</font> [[Nazeru Auronas]] - Though their relationship began with Nazeru making passes at Alexaria, Alexaria's refusal to show emotion frustrates Nazeru. The redhead is quick to pass judgement on Alexaria's actions, but Alexaria does not hold any sort of grudge against Nazeru.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#008080;" size="3">★</font>[[Augustine Frost]] - Dirty and unkempt Augustine may be, but Alexaria sees in him something he refuses to believe exists: a heart. Her chief concern is that he will actively try to stamp it out instead of accepting that he could be cared for honestly.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#960018;" size="3">■</font> [[Marrow Ochi]] - Alexaria doesn't quite believe Marrow is the Primal she says she is, but harbors concern over what could happen if Marrow actually is.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#008080;" size="3">★</font>[[Trisselle Ganathain]] - Alexaria holds this Duskwight in high regard, and her poise reminds Alex that Duskwights must always be judged person to person. Though they seem to float in different circles, Alexaria tries to make time for Trisselle when she can.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#71BC78;" size="3">●</font>[[Silonon Chandra]] - An eccentric Hyur that Alexaria finds, above all else, entertaining. She has decided to be more careful in her dealings with him after a few odd events, but would come to the Midlander's aid any time.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#960018;" size="3">■</font>[[K'weh Featherstroud]] - She once admired "Feather" for his singing skill and modesty, but the ease with which the Miqo'te turned to violence during a stressful encounter keeps Alexaria at a distance, for now.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#71BC78;" size="3">●</font> [[U'zhan Tia]] - The dark-skinned Miqo'te bewilders Alexaria at times. She watches his interactions with other of her acquaintances carefully, apparently trying to "figure him out".<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#71BC78;" size="3">●</font>[[Haruki Aoyuki]] - Though she's only met the gentleman briefly, she has great respect for people who say little (whether by choice or circumstance). Obviously, since he doesn't speak, she's very curious about him.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#71BC78;" size="3">●</font> [[Araswel Dakwhil]] - Alexaria respects Araswel as a fighter and as a teacher, though she feels she has little to learn from the Miqo'te battlemaster. Alex feels Araswel's martial focus may be too narrow, and hopes Araswel has something meaningful to fight for--or at least, has a non-combative hobby.<br />

: Alexaria Whiteraven is well-built and her skin is quite tan. People call her pretty, though she has a long scar starting between her eyes and leading down her right cheek. Her nose is fairly long, her eyes are a bright ocean-blue, and her facepaint matches this color. Her most distinguishing feature is her white hair.<br />
<br />
: Alexaria (who will answer to Alex) may seem at first turn to be cold, or possibly aloof. People who speak to her, however, tend to point out she's very intelligent and not unkind. Her face rarely displays any sort of emotion other than the occasional raised or furrowed brow. She speaks clearly and in an even tone. She is usually very polite and her manner suggests trained etiquette.<br />
<br />
<font style="color:#0093AF;" size="2">'''★'''Information here may seem limited. This is intentional. Alexaria does not share details about her life or history freely. Anything listed here is reasonably public knowledge. Many (if not most) rumors about her are false.</font><br />

<table style="position:center;" width="75%"><br />
<br />
: Alexaria shuns the spotlight. She prefers to listen and watch from nearby or afar, and works by herself. Even so, she is a naturally curious woman like the ravens of her family's namesake, often approaching complete strangers with questions -- sometimes very frank questions. Even so she will stress that her intentions are never malign, and will politely cease inquiry or leave if her presence is an annoyance.<br />
<br />
<br />
: Alexaria dresses in distinct, personally-made garments most of the time. As a seamstress, she tends to model her own work when in public. She prefers comfort above all else...comfort, in her case, tends to be very revealing outfits that highlight her physique. Even when covering herself, she tries to wear clothing that breathes well and can shed the heat generated by activity (exercise, labor or fighting).<br />
<font style="color:#0093AF;" size="2">'''★'''The following are things that could be picked up by simply observing Alexaria for a time, and are facets of her life she makes no secret of. Though she suppresses emotion, she still has preferences about how she spends her time and things she avoids.</font><br />

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Biography</div>===<br />
<br />
Alexaria is very, very careful about speaking of her past. She shares some tales with a charming, nonchalant attitude while carefully withholding sensitive information. Anyone asking around the Quicksand is likely to pick up one or two "facts" about Alexaria--if you believe your character has reason to know anything in this section, you may proceed as long as you understand you will never have the whole story.<br />
<br />
=====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Childhood</div>=====<br />
<br />
Alexaria was born in Ala Mhigo, but only a few years before its fall to Garlemald. She recalls very little of her time there, as she left "in swaddling", rushed from the city by her father, south, to Ul'dah. He was able to bring a sizable portion of the Whiteraven family wealth, which he used to create a very successful moneylending and moneychanging business.<br />
<br />
Alexaria is open enough about her childhood--she describes herself as growing up a bit spoiled, "with a silver spoon in my mouth", as the daughter of a wealthy businessman might be. She never wanted for anything until her adolescence, when her father sent her to an all-girl's private school in the Black Shroud. Suddenly, everything Alexaria knew had changed.<br />
<br />
No longer able to wallow in her father's opulence, Alexaria was subjected to a rigorous curriculum and made to live in a dormitory on the grounds of her school. As a teenager, Alex found it grueling in contrast to her idyllic childhood; in retrospect, she sees how easy it was--physically--compared to the harshness of life for the unwealthy laborers who support Ul'dah every day. However, she will never forgive her scholastic experiences for anything but what they were: indoctrination to be the ideal wife of a wealthy businessman or noble.<br />
<br />
Alexaria railed against her teachers and the school staff, breaking rules and inviting them to punish her as far as their disciplinary mandate allowed them. Her brashness made her popular, and soon she had a clique of girls that seemed to worship her, after only two years. She also butted heads with many of the other popular girls who could not see why Alex insisted on causing trouble and looked down on her for being "sexless, careless and rude" (as one girl put it).<br />
<br />
In her second year, Alexaria became aware of a new student who also had little love of the institution, and had been similarly "sentenced" to the school to "straighten her out". Initially the girls fought over nearly everything, being rivals in all physical activities and arguing constantly whenever near each other. Eventually they started having real fights, with Alexaria having the snot knocked out of her regularly by the far more aggressive girl. When confronted on their bouts, the girls lied to protect themselves and ended up protecting each other, gaining a measure of admiration in each others' eyes.<br />
<br />
The two started an "extracurricular activities group", ostensibly giving other girls a chance to do more physical education. In truth, it was a fight club--Alexaria saw this as an excellent way to give her classmates confidence, and erode the indoctrination of the school. It was at this time that Alexaria realized how she felt about girls in general, and her one-time rival became her first and closest lover. Other girls in the club began to experiment as well.<br />
<br />
When stories began to circulate about the club (and bruises became more visible on the faces of its members), the school sought to suppress all such activity. One girl--a member who had once sought to quash Alex's popularity--decided she would remove Alexaria as an obstacle by pitting her against her best friend. Through her manipulations, Alexaria and the other girl scarred each others' faces in a nearly-mortal knife fight, and were summarily expelled.<br />
<br />
This was a week before the Calamity.<br />
<br />
=====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Post-Calamity</div>=====<br />
<br />
Alexaria will be the first person to tell you she lost everything in the Calamity--and the first to point out she is hardly unique in this. She shows great sympathy to those who lost loved ones in the tragedy and downplays her own experiences.<br />
<br />
In truth, Alexaria lived homeless for a year, selling the clothes off her back just for food, and nearly starved to death. She speaks little of what she did to survive at this time, and certainly gives no reason for her reticence--but its clear this was a major change in her life.<br />
<br />
The school which had expelled her was destroyed in Bahamut's attack and Alex knows nothing of the girls who had gone there--she notes that Dalamud's approach sent many of the girls home before the actual attacks began, so its possible many of them survived, but she doesn't seem to care enough to find out.<br />
<br />
After a year of barely having enough food to keep her alive and looking very much like an Ala Mhigan refugee, Alexaria started looking for work. Business began to reopen as people sought to rebuild their lives. But without any experience in manual labor, Alexaria was turned away from every job she applied to, until finally getting a job as a waitress... in a Burlesque House.<br />
<br />
The establishment known as ''Up Your Street'' was located on Pearl Lane and boasted "the prettiest girls in the Thanalan, giving (and showing) their all for our faithful customers!" While some might deride the business as a glorified strip club, ''Up Your Street'' actually took very good care of its employees and turned out any patrons who attempted to force the girls to do anything but sing, dance and tell jokes. Alexaria found a measure of family in the business, and for the first time in years, felt happy to be alive.<br />
<br />
While she made decent money serving drinks, Alexaria shunned the spotlight, especially the idea of revealing her body to strangers. The malnutrition she suffered previously had left her skinny and eroded her natural athleticism, and she felt clumsy and ungraceful. But, after hours one night, she began to sing as she had at school--unaware that much of the management was having a meeting in back. They asked Alex to show them how she danced, and though she thought she might fall over at any moment, the owners were impressed and offered Alexaria work as a dancing girl (second string) in some of the easier stage shows.<br />
<br />
Alexaria started working out and spent her money on healthy food, building back up the muscle she had when the fight club was at its peak. Dancing gave her a smooth, hard body and the confidence to work her way up until she was singing numbers by herself--sometimes the main attraction of the night. Unfortunately, such success was short lived as the laws of Ul'dah changed, allowing dancing girls to appear on the streets. Which such cheap titillation in high supply, ''Up Your Street'' found their business dwindle to nothing and closed down.<br />
<br />
What happened next is barely known to anyone, but what Alexaria will tell people is that she left Eorzea, and her citizenship was revoked after a prolonged absence. When she returned, her body had changed from that of an athletic dancer to a fighting powerhouse, and her demeanor had become that of a careful and emotionless spectre living at the edges of society. She registered with the Pugilist and Weavers guilds, and began a new and quiet life.<br />

<br />
: <font style="color:#00B7EB;" size="3">★</font> [[Natalie Mcbeef]] - One of the first people Alexaria met upon returning home to Ul'dah. Alexaria greatly respects Natalie, and offers the Miqo'te counsel whenever asked. She thinks Natalie's long hair looks wonderful.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#00B7EB;" size="3">★</font> [[Chachanji Gegenji]] - Alexaria holds the small but stalwart smith in very high regard. She appreciates his honesty and positive attitude, and speaks praise of him without prompting. She only worries that her care will embarrass him, and tries to be careful of his feelings.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#00B7EB;" size="3">★</font> [[Kage Kiryuu]] - Alexaria enjoys Kage's company a great deal, being more at ease with him than just about anyone she knows. She always tries to speak with him where ever she finds him.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#00B7EB;" size="3">★</font> [[Chokho Viqqoh]] - Chokho is one of the few flirtatious women Alexaria seems relaxed around. Chokho is more accepting of Alexaria's lifestyle and personal choice than many of Alex's other acquaintances, and for this Alex is deeply thankful. They peacefully disagree on some points, but Alexaria trusts Chokho--even though she is keeping a careful eye on the dark Miqo'te's actions.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#008080;" size="3">★</font> [[Ennara Calian]] - Ennara and Alexaria grew quite close over the span of a few weeks--eventually growing too close for comfort (for Alexaria at least). Ennara took their "break up" fairly roughly, but Alexaria wants to maintain a healthy relationship with Ennara over the long term.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#71BC78;" size="3">●</font> [[Nazeru Auronas]] - Though their relationship began with Nazeru making passes at Alexaria, Alexaria's refusal to show emotion frustrates Nazeru. The redhead is quick to pass judgement on Alexaria's actions, but Alexaria does not hold any sort of grudge against Nazeru.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#008080;" size="3">★</font>[[Augustine Frost]] - Dirty and unkempt Augustine may be, but Alexaria sees in him something he refuses to believe exists: a heart. Her chief concern is that he will actively try to stamp it out instead of accepting that he could be cared for honestly.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#960018;" size="3">■</font> [[Marrow Ochi]] - Alexaria doesn't quite believe Marrow is the Primal she says she is, but harbors concern over what could happen if Marrow actually is.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#008080;" size="3">★</font>[[Trisselle Ganathain]] - Alexaria holds this Duskwight in high regard, and her poise reminds Alex that Duskwights must always be judged person to person. Though they seem to float in different circles, Alexaria tries to make time for Trisselle when she can.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#71BC78;" size="3">●</font>[[Silonon Chandra]] - An eccentric Hyur that Alexaria finds, above all else, entertaining. She has decided to be more careful in her dealings with him after a few odd events, but would come to the Midlander's aid any time.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#960018;" size="3">■</font>[[K'weh Featherstroud]] - She once admired "Feather" for his singing skill and modesty, but the ease with which the Miqo'te turned to violence during a stressful encounter keeps Alexaria at a distance, for now.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#71BC78;" size="3">●</font> [[U'zhan Tia]] - The dark-skinned Miqo'te bewilders Alexaria at times. She watches his interactions with other of her acquaintances carefully, apparently trying to "figure him out".<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#71BC78;" size="3">●</font>[[Haruki Aoyuki]] - Though she's only met the gentleman briefly, she has great respect for people who say little (whether by choice or circumstance). Obviously, since he doesn't speak, she's very curious about him.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#71BC78;" size="3">●</font> [[Araswel Dakwhil]] - Alexaria respects Araswel as a fighter and as a teacher, though she feels she has little to learn from the Miqo'te battlemaster. Alex feels Araswel's martial focus may be too narrow, and hopes Araswel has something meaningful to fight for--or at least, has a non-combative hobby.<br />

: Alexaria Whiteraven is well-built and her skin is quite tan. People call her pretty, though she has a long scar starting between her eyes and leading down her right cheek. Her nose is fairly long, her eyes are a bright ocean-blue, and her facepaint matches this color. Her most distinguishing feature is her white hair.<br />
<br />
: Alexaria (who will answer to Alex) may seem at first turn to be cold, or possibly aloof. People who speak to her, however, tend to point out she's very intelligent and not unkind. Her face rarely displays any sort of emotion other than the occasional raised or furrowed brow. She speaks clearly and in an even tone. She is usually very polite and her manner suggests trained etiquette.<br />
<br />
<font style="color:#0093AF;" size="2">'''★'''Information here may seem limited. This is intentional. Alexaria does not share details about her life or history freely. Anything listed here is reasonably public knowledge. Many (if not most) rumors about her are false.</font><br />

<table style="position:center;" width="75%"><br />
<br />
: Alexaria shuns the spotlight. She prefers to listen and watch from nearby or afar, and works by herself. Even so, she is a naturally curious woman like the ravens of her family's namesake, often approaching complete strangers with questions -- sometimes very frank questions. Even so she will stress that her intentions are never malign, and will politely cease inquiry or leave if her presence is an annoyance.<br />
<br />
<br />
: Alexaria dresses in distinct, personally-made garments most of the time. As a seamstress, she tends to model her own work when in public. She prefers comfort above all else...comfort, in her case, tends to be very revealing outfits that highlight her physique. Even when covering herself, she tries to wear clothing that breathes well and can shed the heat generated by activity (exercise, labor or fighting).<br />
<font style="color:#0093AF;" size="2">'''★'''The following are things that could be picked up by simply observing Alexaria for a time, and are facets of her life she makes no secret of. Though she suppresses emotion, she still has preferences about how she spends her time and things she avoids.</font><br />

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Biography</div>===<br />
<br />
Alexaria is very, very careful about speaking of her past. She shares some tales with a charming, nonchalant attitude while carefully withholding sensitive information. Anyone asking around the Quicksand is likely to pick up one or two "facts" about Alexaria--if you believe your character has reason to know anything in this section, you may proceed as long as you understand you will never have the whole story.<br />
<br />
=====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Childhood</div>=====<br />
<br />
Alexaria was born in Ala Mhigo, but only a few years before its fall to Garlemald. She recalls very little of her time there, as she left "in swaddling", rushed from the city by her father, south, to Ul'dah. He was able to bring a sizable portion of the Whiteraven family wealth, which he used to create a very successful moneylending and moneychanging business.<br />
<br />
Alexaria is open enough about her childhood--she describes herself as growing up a bit spoiled, "with a silver spoon in my mouth", as the daughter of a wealthy businessman might be. She never wanted for anything until her adolescence, when her father sent her to an all-girl's private school in the Black Shroud. Suddenly, everything Alexaria knew had changed.<br />
<br />
No longer able to wallow in her father's opulence, Alexaria was subjected to a rigorous curriculum and made to live in a dormitory on the grounds of her school. As a teenager, Alex found it grueling in contrast to her idyllic childhood; in retrospect, she sees how easy it was--physically--compared to the harshness of life for the unwealthy laborers who support Ul'dah every day. However, she will never forgive her scholastic experiences for anything but what they were: indoctrination to be the ideal wife of a wealthy businessman or noble.<br />
<br />
Alexaria railed against her teachers and the school staff, breaking rules and inviting them to punish her as far as their disciplinary mandate allowed them. Her brashness made her popular, and soon she had a clique of girls that seemed to worship her, after only two years. She also butted heads with many of the other popular girls who could not see why Alex insisted on causing trouble and looked down on her for being "sexless, careless and rude" (as one girl put it).<br />
<br />
In her second year, Alexaria became aware of a new student who also had little love of the institution, and had been similarly "sentenced" to the school to "straighten her out". Initially the girls fought over nearly everything, being rivals in all physical activities and arguing constantly whenever near each other. Eventually they started having real fights, with Alexaria having the snot knocked out of her regularly by the far more aggressive girl. When confronted on their bouts, the girls lied to protect themselves and ended up protecting each other, gaining a measure of admiration in each others' eyes.<br />
<br />
The two started an "extracurricular activities group", ostensibly giving other girls a chance to do more physical education. In truth, it was a fight club--Alexaria saw this as an excellent way to give her classmates confidence, and erode the indoctrination of the school. It was at this time that Alexaria realized how she felt about girls in general, and her one-time rival became her first and closest lover. Other girls in the club began to experiment as well.<br />
<br />
When stories began to circulate about the club (and bruises became more visible on the faces of its members), the school sought to suppress all such activity. One girl--a member who had once sought to quash Alex's popularity--decided she would remove Alexaria as an obstacle by pitting her against her best friend. Through her manipulations, Alexaria and the other girl scarred each others' faces in a nearly-mortal knife fight, and were summarily expelled.<br />
<br />
This was a week before the Calamity.<br />
<br />
=====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Post-Calamity</div>=====<br />
<br />
Alexaria will be the first person to tell you she lost everything in the Calamity--and the first to point out she is hardly unique in this. She shows great sympathy to those who lost loved ones in the tragedy and downplays her own experiences.<br />
<br />
In truth, Alexaria lived homeless for a year, selling the clothes off her back just for food, and nearly starved to death. She speaks little of what she did to survive at this time, and certainly gives no reason for her reticence--but its clear this was a major change in her life.<br />
<br />
The school which had expelled her was destroyed in Bahamut's attack and Alex knows nothing of the girls who had gone there--she notes that Dalamud's approach sent many of the girls home before the actual attacks began, so its possible many of them survived, but she doesn't seem to care enough to find out.<br />
<br />
After a year of barely having enough food to keep her alive and looking very much like an Ala Mhigan refugee, Alexaria started looking for work. Business began to reopen as people sought to rebuild their lives. But without any experience in manual labor, Alexaria was turned away from every job she applied to, until finally getting a job as a waitress... in a Burlesque House.<br />
<br />
The establishment known as ''Up Your Street'' was located on Pearl Lane and boasted "the prettiest girls in the Thanalan, giving (and showing) their all for our faithful customers!" While some might deride the business as a glorified strip club, ''Up Your Street'' actually took very good care of its employees and turned out any patrons who attempted to force the girls to do anything but sing, dance and tell jokes. Alexaria found a measure of family in the business, and for the first time in years, felt happy to be alive.<br />
<br />
While she made decent money serving drinks, Alexaria shunned the spotlight, especially the idea of revealing her body to strangers. The malnutrition she suffered previously had left her skinny and eroded her natural athleticism, and she felt clumsy and ungraceful. But, after hours one night, she began to sing as she had at school--unaware that much of the management was having a meeting in back. They asked Alex to show them how she danced, and though she thought she might fall over at any moment, the owners were impressed and offered Alexaria work as a dancing girl (second string) in some of the easier stage shows.<br />
<br />
Alexaria started working out and spent her money on healthy food, building back up the muscle she had when the fight club was at its peak. Dancing gave her a smooth, hard body and the confidence to work her way up until she was singing numbers by herself--sometimes the main attraction of the night. Unfortunately, such success was short lived as the laws of Ul'dah changed, allowing dancing girls to appear on the streets. Which such cheap titillation in high supply, ''Up Your Street'' found their business dwindle to nothing and closed down.<br />
<br />
What happened next is barely known to anyone, but what Alexaria will tell people is that she left Eorzea, and her citizenship was revoked after a prolonged absence. When she returned, her body had changed from that of an athletic dancer to a fighting powerhouse, and her demeanor had become that of a careful and emotionless spectre living at the edges of society. She registered with the Pugilist and Weavers guilds, and began a new and quiet life.<br />

<br />
: <font style="color:#00B7EB;" size="3">★</font> [[Natalie Mcbeef]] - One of the first people Alexaria met upon returning home to Ul'dah. Alexaria greatly respects Natalie, and offers the Miqo'te counsel whenever asked. She thinks Natalie's long hair looks wonderful.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#00B7EB;" size="3">★</font> [[Chachanji Gegenji]] - Alexaria holds the small but stalwart smith in very high regard. She appreciates his honesty and positive attitude, and speaks praise of him without prompting. She only worries that her care will embarrass him, and tries to be careful of his feelings.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#00B7EB;" size="3">★</font> [[Kage Kiryuu]] - Alexaria enjoys Kage's company a great deal, being more at ease with him than just about anyone she knows. She always tries to speak with him where ever she finds him.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#00B7EB;" size="3">★</font> [[Chokho Viqqoh]] - Chokho is one of the few flirtatious women Alexaria seems relaxed around. Chokho is more accepting of Alexaria's lifestyle and personal choice than many of Alex's other acquaintances, and for this Alex is deeply thankful. They peacefully disagree on some points, but Alexaria trusts Chokho--even though she is keeping a careful eye on the dark Miqo'te's actions.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#008080;" size="3">★</font> [[Ennara Calian]] - Ennara and Alexaria grew quite close over the span of a few weeks--eventually growing too close for comfort (for Alexaria at least). Ennara took their "break up" fairly roughly, but Alexaria wants to maintain a healthy relationship with Ennara over the long term.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#71BC78;" size="3">●</font> [[Nazeru Auronas]] - Though their relationship began with Nazeru making passes at Alexaria, Alexaria's refusal to show emotion frustrates Nazeru. The redhead is quick to pass judgement on Alexaria's actions, but Alexaria does not hold any sort of grudge against Nazeru.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#008080;" size="3">★</font>[[Augustine Frost]] - Dirty and unkempt Augustine may be, but Alexaria sees in him something he refuses to believe exists: a heart. Her chief concern is that he will actively try to stamp it out instead of accepting that he could be cared for honestly.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#960018;" size="3">■</font> [[Marrow Ochi]] - Alexaria doesn't quite believe Marrow is the Primal she says she is, but harbors concern over what could happen if Marrow actually is.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#008080;" size="3">★</font>[[Trisselle Ganathain]] - Alexaria holds this Duskwight in high regard, and her poise reminds Alex that Duskwights must always be judged person to person. Though they seem to float in different circles, Alexaria tries to make time for Trisselle when she can.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#71BC78;" size="3">●</font>[[Silonon Chandra]] - An eccentric Hyur that Alexaria finds, above all else, entertaining. She has decided to be more careful in her dealings with him after a few odd events, but would come to the Midlander's aid any time.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#960018;" size="3">■</font>[[K'weh Featherstroud]] - She once admired "Feather" for his singing skill and modesty, but the ease with which the Miqo'te turned to violence during a stressful encounter keeps Alexaria at a distance, for now.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#71BC78;" size="3">●</font> [[U'zhan Tia]] - The dark-skinned Miqo'te bewilders Alexaria at times. She watches his interactions with other of her acquaintances carefully, apparently trying to "figure him out".<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#71BC78;" size="3">●</font>[[Haruki Aoyuki]] - Though she's only met the gentleman briefly, she has great respect for people who say little (whether by choice or circumstance). Obviously, since he doesn't speak, she's very curious about him.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#71BC78;" size="3">●</font> [[Araswel Dakwhil]] - Alexaria respects Araswel as a fighter and as a teacher, though she feels she has little to learn from the Miqo'te battlemaster. Alex feels Araswel's martial focus may be too narrow, and hopes Araswel has something meaningful to fight for--or at least, has a non-combative hobby.<br />

: Alexaria Whiteraven is well-built and her skin is quite tan. People call her pretty, though she has a long scar starting between her eyes and leading down her right cheek. Her nose is fairly long, her eyes are a bright ocean-blue, and her facepaint matches this color. Her most distinguishing feature is her white hair.<br />
<br />
: Alexaria (who will answer to Alex) may seem at first turn to be cold, or possibly aloof. People who speak to her, however, tend to point out she's very intelligent and not unkind. Her face rarely displays any sort of emotion other than the occasional raised or furrowed brow. She speaks clearly and in an even tone. She is usually very polite and her manner suggests trained etiquette.<br />
<br />
<font style="color:#0093AF;" size="2">'''★'''Information here may seem limited. This is intentional. Alexaria does not share details about her life or history freely. Anything listed here is reasonably public knowledge. Many (if not most) rumors about her are false.</font><br />

<table style="position:center;" width="75%"><br />
<br />
: Alexaria shuns the spotlight. She prefers to listen and watch from nearby or afar, and works by herself. Even so, she is a naturally curious woman like the ravens of her family's namesake, often approaching complete strangers with questions -- sometimes very frank questions. Even so she will stress that her intentions are never malign, and will politely cease inquiry or leave if her presence is an annoyance.<br />
<br />
<br />
: Alexaria dresses in distinct, personally-made garments most of the time. As a seamstress, she tends to model her own work when in public. She prefers comfort above all else...comfort, in her case, tends to be very revealing outfits that highlight her physique. Even when covering herself, she tries to wear clothing that breathes well and can shed the heat generated by activity (exercise, labor or fighting).<br />
<font style="color:#0093AF;" size="2">'''★'''The following are things that could be picked up by simply observing Alexaria for a time, and are facets of her life she makes no secret of. Though she suppresses emotion, she still has preferences about how she spends her time and things she avoids.</font><br />

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Biography</div>===<br />
<br />
Alexaria is very, very careful about speaking of her past. She shares some tales with a charming, nonchalant attitude while carefully withholding sensitive information. Anyone asking around the Quicksand is likely to pick up one or two "facts" about Alexaria--if you believe your character has reason to know anything in this section, you may proceed as long as you understand you will never have the whole story.<br />
<br />
=====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Childhood</div>=====<br />
<br />
Alexaria was born in Ala Mhigo, but only a few years before its fall to Garlemald. She recalls very little of her time there, as she left "in swaddling", rushed from the city by her father, south, to Ul'dah. He was able to bring a sizable portion of the Whiteraven family wealth, which he used to create a very successful moneylending and moneychanging business.<br />
<br />
Alexaria is open enough about her childhood--she describes herself as growing up a bit spoiled, "with a silver spoon in my mouth", as the daughter of a wealthy businessman might be. She never wanted for anything until her adolescence, when her father sent her to an all-girl's private school in the Black Shroud. Suddenly, everything Alexaria knew had changed.<br />
<br />
No longer able to wallow in her father's opulence, Alexaria was subjected to a rigorous curriculum and made to live in a dormitory on the grounds of her school. As a teenager, Alex found it grueling in contrast to her idyllic childhood; in retrospect, she sees how easy it was--physically--compared to the harshness of life for the unwealthy laborers who support Ul'dah every day. However, she will never forgive her scholastic experiences for anything but what they were: indoctrination to be the ideal wife of a wealthy businessman or noble.<br />
<br />
Alexaria railed against her teachers and the school staff, breaking rules and inviting them to punish her as far as their disciplinary mandate allowed them. Her brashness made her popular, and soon she had a clique of girls that seemed to worship her, after only two years. She also butted heads with many of the other popular girls who could not see why Alex insisted on causing trouble and looked down on her for being "sexless, careless and rude" (as one girl put it).<br />
<br />
In her second year, Alexaria became aware of a new student who also had little love of the institution, and had been similarly "sentenced" to the school to "straighten her out". Initially the girls fought over nearly everything, being rivals in all physical activities and arguing constantly whenever near each other. Eventually they started having real fights, with Alexaria having the snot knocked out of her regularly by the far more aggressive girl. When confronted on their bouts, the girls lied to protect themselves and ended up protecting each other, gaining a measure of admiration in each others' eyes.<br />
<br />
The two started an "extracurricular activities group", ostensibly giving other girls a chance to do more physical education. In truth, it was a fight club--Alexaria saw this as an excellent way to give her classmates confidence, and erode the indoctrination of the school. It was at this time that Alexaria realized how she felt about girls in general, and her one-time rival became her first and closest lover. Other girls in the club began to experiment as well.<br />
<br />
When stories began to circulate about the club (and bruises became more visible on the faces of its members), the school sought to suppress all such activity. One girl--a member who had once sought to quash Alex's popularity--decided she would remove Alexaria as an obstacle by pitting her against her best friend. Through her manipulations, Alexaria and the other girl scarred each others' faces in a nearly-mortal knife fight, and were summarily expelled.<br />
<br />
This was a week before the Calamity.<br />
<br />
=====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Post-Calamity</div>=====<br />
<br />
Alexaria will be the first person to tell you she lost everything in the Calamity--and the first to point out she is hardly unique in this. She shows great sympathy to those who lost loved ones in the tragedy and downplays her own experiences.<br />
<br />
In truth, Alexaria lived homeless for a year, selling the clothes off her back just for food, and nearly starved to death. She speaks little of what she did to survive at this time, and certainly gives no reason for her reticence--but its clear this was a major change in her life.<br />
<br />
The school which had expelled her was destroyed in Bahamut's attack and Alex knows nothing of the girls who had gone there--she notes that Dalamud's approach sent many of the girls home before the actual attacks began, so its possible many of them survived, but she doesn't seem to care enough to find out.<br />
<br />
After a year of barely having enough food to keep her alive and looking very much like an Ala Mhigan refugee, Alexaria started looking for work. Business began to reopen as people sought to rebuild their lives. But without any experience in manual labor, Alexaria was turned away from every job she applied to, until finally getting a job as a waitress... in a Burlesque House.<br />
<br />
The establishment known as ''Up Your Street'' was located on Pearl Lane and boasted "the prettiest girls in the Thanalan, giving (and showing) their all for our faithful customers!" While some might deride the business as a glorified strip club, ''Up Your Street'' actually took very good care of its employees and turned out any patrons who attempted to force the girls to do anything but sing, dance and tell jokes. Alexaria found a measure of family in the business, and for the first time in years, felt happy to be alive.<br />
<br />
While she made decent money serving drinks, Alexaria shunned the spotlight, especially the idea of revealing her body to strangers. The malnutrition she suffered previously had left her skinny and eroded her natural athleticism, and she felt clumsy and ungraceful. But, after hours one night, she began to sing as she had at school--unaware that much of the management was having a meeting in back. They asked Alex to show them how she danced, and though she thought she might fall over at any moment, the owners were impressed and offered Alexaria work as a dancing girl (second string) in some of the easier stage shows.<br />
<br />
Alexaria started working out and spent her money on healthy food, building back up the muscle she had when the fight club was at its peak. Dancing gave her a smooth, hard body and the confidence to work her way up until she was singing numbers by herself--sometimes the main attraction of the night. Unfortunately, such success was short lived as the laws of Ul'dah changed, allowing dancing girls to appear on the streets. Which such cheap titillation in high supply, ''Up Your Street'' found their business dwindle to nothing and closed down.<br />
<br />
What happened next is barely known to anyone, but what Alexaria will tell people is that she left Eorzea, and her citizenship was revoked after a prolonged absence. When she returned, her body had changed from that of an athletic dancer to a fighting powerhouse, and her demeanor had become that of a careful and emotionless spectre living at the edges of society. She registered with the Pugilist and Weavers guilds, and began a new and quiet life.<br />

: <font style="color:#00B7EB;" size="3">★</font> [[Natalie Mcbeef]] - One of the first people Alexaria met upon returning home to Ul'dah. Alexaria greatly respects Natalie, and offers the Miqo'te counsel whenever asked. She thinks Natalie's long hair looks wonderful.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#00B7EB;" size="3">★</font> [[Chachanji Gegenji]] - Alexaria holds the small but stalwart smith in very high regard. She appreciates his honesty and positive attitude, and speaks praise of him without prompting. She only worries that her care will embarrass him, and tries to be careful of his feelings.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#00B7EB;" size="3">★</font> [[Kage Kiryuu]] - Alexaria enjoys Kage's company a great deal, being more at ease with him than just about anyone she knows. She always tries to speak with him where ever she finds him.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#00B7EB;" size="3">★</font> [[Chokho Viqqoh]] - Chokho is one of the few flirtatious women Alexaria seems relaxed around. Chokho is more accepting of Alexaria's lifestyle and personal choice than many of Alex's other acquaintances, and for this Alex is deeply thankful. They peacefully disagree on some points, but Alexaria trusts Chokho--even though she is keeping a careful eye on the dark Miqo'te's actions.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#008080;" size="3">★</font> [[Ennara Calian]] - Ennara and Alexaria grew quite close over the span of a few weeks--eventually growing too close for comfort (for Alexaria at least). Ennara took their "break up" fairly roughly, but Alexaria wants to maintain a healthy relationship with Ennara over the long term.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#71BC78;" size="3">●</font> [[Nazeru Auronas]] - Though their relationship began with Nazeru making passes at Alexaria, Alexaria's refusal to show emotion frustrates Nazeru. The redhead is quick to pass judgement on Alexaria's actions, but Alexaria does not hold any sort of grudge against Nazeru.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#008080;" size="3">★</font>[[Augustine Frost]] - Dirty and unkempt Augustine may be, but Alexaria sees in him something he refuses to believe exists: a heart. Her chief concern is that he will actively try to stamp it out instead of accepting that he could be cared for honestly.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#960018;" size="3">■</font> [[Marrow Ochi]] - Alexaria doesn't quite believe Marrow is the Primal she says she is, but harbors concern over what could happen if Marrow actually is.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#008080;" size="3">★</font>[[Trisselle Ganathain]] - Alexaria holds this Duskwight in high regard, and her poise reminds Alex that Duskwights must always be judged person to person. Though they seem to float in different circles, Alexaria tries to make time for Trisselle when she can.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#71BC78;" size="3">●</font>[[Silonon Chandra]] - An eccentric Hyur that Alexaria finds, above all else, entertaining. She has decided to be more careful in her dealings with him after a few odd events, but would come to the Midlander's aid any time.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#960018;" size="3">■</font>[[K'weh Featherstroud]] - She once admired "Feather" for his singing skill and modesty, but the ease with which the Miqo'te turned to violence during a stressful encounter keeps Alexaria at a distance, for now.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#71BC78;" size="3">●</font> [[U'zhan Tia]] - The dark-skinned Miqo'te bewilders Alexaria at times. She watches his interactions with other of her acquaintances carefully, apparently trying to "figure him out".<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#71BC78;" size="3">●</font>[[Haruki Aoyuki]] - Though she's only met the gentleman briefly, she has great respect for people who say little (whether by choice or circumstance). Obviously, since he doesn't speak, she's very curious about him.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#71BC78;" size="3">●</font> [[Araswel Dakwhil]] - Alexaria respects Araswel as a fighter and as a teacher, though she feels she has little to learn from the Miqo'te battlemaster. Alex feels Araswel's martial focus may be too narrow, and hopes Araswel has something meaningful to fight for--or at least, has a non-combative hobby.<br />

== Character ==<br />
<br />
=== General ===<br />
<br />
The impetuous and naïve daughter of an Ishgardian High House, Evangeline lost her inheritance, title, and nearly her life, when she began dabbling in heretical activities. Finding herself exiled, she settled in Ul'dah, where she is gradually learning how the reality of life, politics, and love differs from what she has read in her books<br />
<br />
=== Appearance ===<br />
<br />
Evangeline is a fair skinned Ishgardian Elezen, with sharp and inquisitive features. She is short for an Elezen, barely making 6 fulms in height. She possesses eyes of dark violet, and long, wavy hair, which she is in the habit of dyeing. When she arrived in Ul'dah she preferred formal dress, skirts and jackets. However as time passes on she has adapted to her new home, and can be usually found in robes, trousers and short skirts, all the better to beat the desert heat. Her eyes are terrible, and she is rarely seen without a pair of glasses. In fact, so terrible is her vision, she typically carries multiple pairs as spares.<br />
<br />
=== Behavior ===<br />
<br />
Evangeline is brash, foolhardy, passionate, and deeply compassionate towards the plights of the less fortunate. Though she comes from a powerful family in Ishgard, her views are anything but traditional, and she will take every opportunity to argue them. She is quick to make friends, and even quicker to trust them. Evangeline is quick to anger as well, but must slights are forgotten soon afterwards, her mind too active to dwell on animosity for long.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Combat ==<br />
<br />
Like every son and daughter of Ishgard, Evangeline was taught the sword, lance and axe, so she might defend her home. However while she is a middling swordswoman, her great passion has always been science and technology. Rather than use what she uses as crude implements of butchery, Evangeline uses grenades, potions, firearms, and other items in order to defender herself. <br />
<br />
Those who face the woman generally find themselves choking on smoke and blinded by Flashbangs, as she unloads her contraptions. However without her supplies she is almost helpless, and as such guards them jealously. It is very rare to see Evangeline without her typical satchel, bulging with grenades and gadgets.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Relations == <br />
: <center><font style="color:#F02311;" size="3">♥</font> Romantic Interest&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> Platonic Love &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> Good Standing&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font> Poor Standing &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <font style="color:#C24640;" size="3"> ☭ </font> Glorious Comrade</center><br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#F02311;" size="3">♥</font> [[Klynzahr Iyrnahctwyn]] : Evangeline first met this Seawolf by accidentally breaking her glasses during a chase through the Quicksand. Somehow the two women found comfort in each other in the chaos of life and grew close. Evangeline's tryst with Xel'enfer caused them to grow distant though, and she has not seen the woman for several months.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Xel'enfer Trellvani]] : A duskwight noble who's strange lifestyle caused Evangeline's wrath on more than one occasion, Evangeline came to the man when she needed assistance with the void. Her apprenticeship left her touched by the void, and madly in love. However as time went on, she realized that Xel'enfer could never commit to someone in the way she wanted. She still feels fondness towards the man, but has given up on anything more. <br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#C24640;" size="3"> ☭ </font> [[S'imba Tia]] : A rather scruffy young Miqo'te warrior who hangs around the Quicksand, Evangeline found him a kindred soul in her battle against government and religion. Always quick to egg the other on into a revolutionary frenzy, Evangeline's current mission is teaching her Comrade to read.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Gharen Wolfsong]] : Gharen was one of the first southerners to take Evangeline seriously during her exile to Ul'dah. While others laughed at her revolutionary diatribes, Gharen tried to temper her greater impulses while teaching her the skills of sword and conjury. His abrupt disappearance left Evangeline aimless for a great time, and she continues to search in the hope that she might find what happened to the man.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Jaques Guillaume]], [[Vaughn Antain]], [[Angora Khilo]] : For a great number of moons the cozy halls of the Phoenix Rose was Evangeline's sanctuary in Eorzea. The warmth of the place and its people did much to temper Evangeline wrath at the world, and calm her spirit. Though she caused a great deal of trouble for the organization, she counts them among her closest friends, and her time there among her happiest.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#F02311;" size="3">♥</font> [[Xanadu Mor]] : Evangeline would never thought she had it in herself to become with an Inquisitor, but Xanadu is an exception to the rule in many ways. Despite the Inquisitor's biting tongue and foul disposition, she finds the woman charming, brave and insightful. She cannot help herself flirting and teasing the woman, despite the fact her attentions seem to be one sided. <br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Martiallais Heuloix]] : Evangeline finds something of a kindred soul in this Duskwight Knight, and they have gained respect for one another over several dangerous adventures. They both have channeled their distaste for the corruption of Ishgard in different directions. Evangeline seeks to overthrow the system, Martiallais to mend it, though at times their views overlap. Evangeline thought at one time their relationship might turn to the romantic, but after meeting his current love, she found the woman beautiful, intelligent and kind, and now has grudgingly given up on any attempt to damage that relationship.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Orrin Halgren]] : When Evangeline met this gruff Dragoon in Ul'dah, she still wished to return to Ishgard and resume her work as a cultist. Through her interactions with the man she came to terms with Ishgards struggle, learned to resist the machinations of draconic corruptuption, and helped repel a plot against her adopted city of Ul'dah. Though she never would let him hear it, she respects the man greatly, and views him as one that helped her regain her way in the world.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[V'aleera Lhuil]] : Like Orrin, Evangeline worked with this Dragoon in an effort to stave off a Dravanian plot aimed at Ul'dah. She respects the woman's fury and skill, and the woman is one of the few people Evangeline won't overly antagonize about their chosen religion.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#C24640;" size="3"> ☭ </font> [[Okhi Lyehga]] : Evangeline still doesn't know what to make of this confident and irreverent woman. Okhi has become the revolution's official minister of revolutionary art, but Evangeline knows the woman is skilled in far more than just the brush.<br />

: Alexaria Whiteraven is well-built and her skin is quite tan. People call her pretty, though she has a long scar starting between her eyes and leading down her right cheek. Her nose is fairly long, her eyes are a bright ocean-blue, and her facepaint matches this color. Her most distinguishing feature is her white hair.<br />
<br />
: Alexaria (who will answer to Alex) may seem at first turn to be cold, or possibly aloof. People who speak to her, however, tend to point out she's very intelligent and not unkind. Her face rarely displays any sort of emotion other than the occasional raised or furrowed brow. She speaks clearly and in an even tone. She is usually very polite and her manner suggests trained etiquette.<br />
<br />
<font style="color:#0093AF;" size="2">'''★'''Information here may seem limited. This is intentional. Alexaria does not share details about her life or history freely. Anything listed here is reasonably public knowledge. Many (if not most) rumors about her are false.</font><br />

<table style="position:center;" width="75%"><br />
<br />
: Alexaria shuns the spotlight. She prefers to listen and watch from nearby or afar, and works by herself. Even so, she is a naturally curious woman like the ravens of her family's namesake, often approaching complete strangers with questions -- sometimes very frank questions. Even so she will stress that her intentions are never malign, and will politely cease inquiry or leave if her presence is an annoyance.<br />
<br />
<br />
: Alexaria dresses in distinct, personally-made garments most of the time. As a seamstress, she tends to model her own work when in public. She prefers comfort above all else...comfort, in her case, tends to be very revealing outfits that highlight her physique. Even when covering herself, she tries to wear clothing that breathes well and can shed the heat generated by activity (exercise, labor or fighting).<br />
<font style="color:#0093AF;" size="2">'''★'''The following are things that could be picked up by simply observing Alexaria for a time, and are facets of her life she makes no secret of. Though she suppresses emotion, she still has preferences about how she spends her time and things she avoids.</font><br />

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Biography</div>===<br />
<br />
Alexaria is very, very careful about speaking of her past. She shares some tales with a charming, nonchalant attitude while carefully withholding sensitive information. Anyone asking around the Quicksand is likely to pick up one or two "facts" about Alexaria--if you believe your character has reason to know anything in this section, you may proceed as long as you understand you will never have the whole story.<br />
<br />
=====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Childhood</div>=====<br />
<br />
Alexaria is open enough about her childhood--she describes herself as growing up a bit spoiled, "with a silver spoon in my mouth", as the daughter of a wealthy merchant of Ul'dah. She never wanted for anything until her adolescence, when her father sent her to an all-girl's private school in the Black Shroud. Suddenly, everything Alexaria knew had changed.<br />
<br />
No longer able to wallow in her father's opulence, Alexaria was subjected to a rigorous curriculum and made to live in a dormitory on the grounds of her school. As a teenager, Alex found it grueling in contrast to her idyllic childhood; in retrospect, she sees how easy it was--physically--compared to the harshness of life for the unwealthy laborers who support Ul'dah every day. However, she will never forgive her scholastic experiences for anything but what they were: indoctrination to be the ideal wife of a wealthy businessman or noble.<br />
<br />
Alexaria railed against her teachers and the school staff, breaking rules and inviting them to punish her as far as their disciplinary mandate allowed them. Her brashness made her popular, and soon she had a clique of girls that seemed to worship her, after only two years. She also butted heads with many of the other popular girls who could not see why Alex insisted on causing trouble and looked down on her for being "sexless, careless and rude" (as one girl put it).<br />
<br />
In her second year, Alexaria became aware of a new student who also had little love of the institution, and had been similarly "sentenced" to the school to "straighten her out". Initially the girls fought over nearly everything, being rivals in all physical activities and arguing constantly whenever near each other. Eventually they started having real fights, with Alexaria having the snot knocked out of her regularly by the far more aggressive girl. When confronted on their bouts, the girls lied to protect themselves and ended up protecting each other, gaining a measure of admiration in each others' eyes.<br />
<br />
The two started an "extracurricular activities group", ostensibly giving other girls a chance to do more physical education. In truth, it was a fight club--Alexaria saw this as an excellent way to give her classmates confidence, and erode the indoctrination of the school. It was at this time that Alexaria realized how she felt about girls in general, and her one-time rival became her first and closest lover. Other girls in the club began to experiment as well.<br />
<br />
When stories began to circulate about the club (and bruises became more visible on the faces of its members), the school sought to suppress all such activity. One girl--a member who had once sought to quash Alex's popularity--decided she would remove Alexaria as an obstacle by pitting her against her best friend. Through her manipulations, Alexaria and the other girl scarred each others' faces in a nearly-mortal knife fight, and were summarily expelled.<br />
<br />
This was a week before the Calamity.<br />
<br />
=====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Post-Calamity</div>=====<br />
<br />
Alexaria will be the first person to tell you she lost everything in the Calamity--and the first to point out she is hardly unique in this. She shows great sympathy to those who lost loved ones in the tragedy and downplays her own experiences.<br />
<br />
In truth, Alexaria lived homeless for a year, selling the clothes off her back just for food, and nearly starved to death. She speaks little of what she did to survive at this time, and certainly gives no reason for her reticence--but its clear this was a major change in her life.<br />
<br />
The school which had expelled her was destroyed in Bahamut's attack and Alex knows nothing of the girls who had gone there--she notes that Dalamud's approach sent many of the girls home before the actual attacks began, so its possible many of them survived, but she doesn't seem to care enough to find out.<br />
<br />
After a year of barely having enough food to keep her alive and looking very much like an Ala Mhigan refugee, Alexaria started looking for work. Business began to reopen as people sought to rebuild their lives. But without any experience in manual labor, Alexaria was turned away from every job she applied to, until finally getting a job as a waitress... in a Burlesque House.<br />
<br />
The establishment known as ''Up Your Street'' was located on Pearl Lane and boasted "the prettiest girls in the Thanalan, giving (and showing) their all for our faithful customers!" While some might deride the business as a glorified strip club, ''Up Your Street'' actually took very good care of its employees and turned out any patrons who attempted to force the girls to do anything but sing, dance and tell jokes. Alexaria found a measure of family in the business, and for the first time in years, felt happy to be alive.<br />
<br />
While she made decent money serving drinks, Alexaria shunned the spotlight, especially the idea of revealing her body to strangers. The malnutrition she suffered previously had left her skinny and eroded her natural athleticism, and she felt clumsy and ungraceful. But, after hours one night, she began to sing as she had at school--unaware that much of the management was having a meeting in back. They asked Alex to show them how she danced, and though she thought she might fall over at any moment, the owners were impressed and offered Alexaria work as a dancing girl (second string) in some of the easier stage shows.<br />
<br />
Alexaria started working out and spent her money on healthy food, building back up the muscle she had when the fight club was at its peak. Dancing gave her a smooth, hard body and the confidence to work her way up until she was singing numbers by herself--sometimes the main attraction of the night. Unfortunately, such success was short lived as the laws of Ul'dah changed, allowing dancing girls to appear on the streets. Which such cheap titillation in high supply, ''Up Your Street'' found their business dwindle to nothing and closed down.<br />
<br />
What happened next is barely known to anyone, but what Alexaria will tell people is that she left Eorzea, and her citizenship was revoked after a prolonged absence. When she returned, her body had changed from that of an athletic dancer to a fighting powerhouse, and her demeanor had become that of a careful and emotionless spectre living at the edges of society. She registered with the Pugilist and Weavers guilds, and began a new and quiet life.<br />

<br />
: <font style="color:#00B7EB;" size="3">★</font> [[Natalie Mcbeef]] - One of the first people Alexaria met upon returning home to Ul'dah. Alexaria greatly respects Natalie, and offers the Miqo'te counsel whenever asked. She thinks Natalie's long hair looks wonderful.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#00B7EB;" size="3">★</font> [[Chachanji Gegenji]] - Alexaria holds the small but stalwart smith in very high regard. She appreciates his honesty and positive attitude, and speaks praise of him without prompting. She only worries that her care will embarrass him, and tries to be careful of his feelings.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#00B7EB;" size="3">★</font> [[Kage Kiryuu]] - Alexaria enjoys Kage's company a great deal, being more at ease with him than just about anyone she knows. She always tries to speak with him where ever she finds him.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#00B7EB;" size="3">★</font> [[Chokho Viqqoh]] - Chokho is one of the few flirtatious women Alexaria seems relaxed around. Chokho is more accepting of Alexaria's lifestyle and personal choice than many of Alex's other acquaintances, and for this Alex is deeply thankful. They peacefully disagree on some points, but Alexaria trusts Chokho--even though she is keeping a careful eye on the dark Miqo'te's actions.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#008080;" size="3">★</font> [[Ennara Calian]] - Ennara and Alexaria grew quite close over the span of a few weeks--eventually growing too close for comfort (for Alexaria at least). Ennara took their "break up" fairly roughly, but Alexaria wants to maintain a healthy relationship with Ennara over the long term.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#71BC78;" size="3">●</font> [[Nazeru Auronas]] - Though their relationship began with Nazeru making passes at Alexaria, Alexaria's refusal to show emotion frustrates Nazeru. The redhead is quick to pass judgement on Alexaria's actions, but Alexaria does not hold any sort of grudge against Nazeru.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#008080;" size="3">★</font>[[Augustine Frost]] - Dirty and unkempt Augustine may be, but Alexaria sees in him something he refuses to believe exists: a heart. Her chief concern is that he will actively try to stamp it out instead of accepting that he could be cared for honestly.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#960018;" size="3">■</font> [[Marrow Ochi]] - Alexaria doesn't quite believe Marrow is the Primal she says she is, but harbors concern over what could happen if Marrow actually is.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#008080;" size="3">★</font>[[Trisselle Ganathain]] - Alexaria holds this Duskwight in high regard, and her poise reminds Alex that Duskwights must always be judged person to person. Though they seem to float in different circles, Alexaria tries to make time for Trisselle when she can.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#71BC78;" size="3">●</font>[[Silonon Chandra]] - An eccentric Hyur that Alexaria finds, above all else, entertaining. She has decided to be more careful in her dealings with him after a few odd events, but would come to the Midlander's aid any time.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#960018;" size="3">■</font>[[K'weh Featherstroud]] - She once admired "Feather" for his singing skill and modesty, but the ease with which the Miqo'te turned to violence during a stressful encounter keeps Alexaria at a distance, for now.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#71BC78;" size="3">●</font> [[U'zhan Tia]] - The dark-skinned Miqo'te bewilders Alexaria at times. She watches his interactions with other of her acquaintances carefully, apparently trying to "figure him out".<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#71BC78;" size="3">●</font>[[Haruki Aoyuki]] - Though she's only met the gentleman briefly, she has great respect for people who say little (whether by choice or circumstance). Obviously, since he doesn't speak, she's very curious about him.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#71BC78;" size="3">●</font> [[Araswel Dakwhil]] - Alexaria respects Araswel as a fighter and as a teacher, though she feels she has little to learn from the Miqo'te battlemaster. Alex feels Araswel's martial focus may be too narrow, and hopes Araswel has something meaningful to fight for--or at least, has a non-combative hobby.<br />

: Alexaria Whiteraven is well-built and her skin is quite tan. People call her pretty, though she has a long scar starting between her eyes and leading down her right cheek. Her nose is fairly long, her eyes are a bright ocean-blue, and her facepaint matches this color. Her most distinguishing feature is her white hair.<br />
<br />
: Alexaria (who will answer to Alex) may seem at first turn to be cold, or possibly aloof. People who speak to her, however, tend to point out she's very intelligent and not unkind. Her face rarely displays any sort of emotion other than the occasional raised or furrowed brow. She speaks clearly and in an even tone. She is usually very polite and her manner suggests trained etiquette.<br />
<br />
<font style="color:#0093AF;" size="2">'''★'''Information here may seem limited. This is intentional. Alexaria does not share details about her life or history freely. Anything listed here is reasonably public knowledge. Many (if not most) rumors about her are false.</font><br />

<table style="position:center;" width="75%"><br />
<br />
: Alexaria shuns the spotlight. She prefers to listen and watch from nearby or afar, and works by herself. Even so, she is a naturally curious woman like the ravens of her family's namesake, often approaching complete strangers with questions -- sometimes very frank questions. Even so she will stress that her intentions are never malign, and will politely cease inquiry or leave if her presence is an annoyance.<br />
<br />
<br />
: Alexaria dresses in distinct, personally-made garments most of the time. As a seamstress, she tends to model her own work when in public. She prefers comfort above all else...comfort, in her case, tends to be very revealing outfits that highlight her physique. Even when covering herself, she tries to wear clothing that breathes well and can shed the heat generated by activity (exercise, labor or fighting).<br />
<font style="color:#0093AF;" size="2">'''★'''The following are things that could be picked up by simply observing Alexaria for a time, and are facets of her life she makes no secret of. Though she suppresses emotion, she still has preferences about how she spends her time and things she avoids.</font><br />

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Biography</div>===<br />
<br />
Alexaria is very, very careful about speaking of her past. She shares some tales with a charming, nonchalant attitude while carefully withholding sensitive information. Anyone asking around the Quicksand is likely to pick up one or two "facts" about Alexaria--if you believe your character has reason to know anything in this section, you may proceed as long as you understand you will never have the whole story.<br />
<br />
=====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Childhood</div>=====<br />
<br />
Alexaria is open enough about her childhood--she describes herself as growing up a bit spoiled, "with a silver spoon in my mouth", as the daughter of a wealthy merchant of Ul'dah. She never wanted for anything until her adolescence, when her father sent her to an all-girl's private school in the Black Shroud. Suddenly, everything Alexaria knew had changed.<br />
<br />
No longer able to wallow in her father's opulence, Alexaria was subjected to a rigorous curriculum and made to live in a dormitory on the grounds of her school. As a teenager, Alex found it grueling in contrast to her idyllic childhood; in retrospect, she sees how easy it was--physically--compared to the harshness of life for the unwealthy laborers who support Ul'dah every day. However, she will never forgive her scholastic experiences for anything but what they were: indoctrination to be the ideal wife of a wealthy businessman or noble.<br />
<br />
Alexaria railed against her teachers and the school staff, breaking rules and inviting them to punish her as far as their disciplinary mandate allowed them. Her brashness made her popular, and soon she had a clique of girls that seemed to worship her, after only two years. She also butted heads with many of the other popular girls who could not see why Alex insisted on causing trouble and looked down on her for being "sexless, careless and rude" (as one girl put it).<br />
<br />
In her second year, Alexaria became aware of a new student who also had little love of the institution, and had been similarly "sentenced" to the school to "straighten her out". Initially the girls fought over nearly everything, being rivals in all physical activities and arguing constantly whenever near each other. Eventually they started having real fights, with Alexaria having the snot knocked out of her regularly by the far more aggressive girl. When confronted on their bouts, the girls lied to protect themselves and ended up protecting each other, gaining a measure of admiration in each others' eyes.<br />
<br />
The two started an "extracurricular activities group", ostensibly giving other girls a chance to do more physical education. In truth, it was a fight club--Alexaria saw this as an excellent way to give her classmates confidence, and erode the indoctrination of the school. It was at this time that Alexaria realized how she felt about girls in general, and her one-time rival became her first and closest lover. Other girls in the club began to experiment as well.<br />
<br />
When stories began to circulate about the club (and bruises became more visible on the faces of its members), the school sought to suppress all such activity. One girl--a member who had once sought to quash Alex's popularity--decided she would remove Alexaria as an obstacle by pitting her against her best friend. Through her manipulations, Alexaria and the other girl scarred each others' faces in a nearly-mortal knife fight, and were summarily expelled.<br />
<br />
This was a week before the Calamity.<br />
<br />
=====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Post-Calamity</div>=====<br />
<br />
Alexaria will be the first person to tell you she lost everything in the Calamity--and the first to point out she is hardly unique in this. She shows great sympathy to those who lost loved ones in the tragedy and downplays her own experiences.<br />
<br />
In truth, Alexaria lived homeless for a year, selling the clothes off her back just for food, and nearly starved to death. She speaks little of what she did to survive at this time, and certainly gives no reason for her reticence--but its clear this was a major change in her life.<br />
<br />
The school which had expelled her was destroyed in Bahamut's attack and Alex knows nothing of the girls who had gone there--she notes that Dalamud's approach sent many of the girls home before the actual attacks began, so its possible many of them survived, but she doesn't seem to care enough to find out.<br />
<br />
After a year of barely having enough food to keep her alive and looking very much like an Ala Mhigan refugee, Alexaria started looking for work. Business began to reopen as people sought to rebuild their lives. But without any experience in manual labor, Alexaria was turned away from every job she applied to, until finally getting a job as a waitress... in a Burlesque House.<br />
<br />
The establishment known as ''Up Your Street'' was located on Pearl Lane and boasted "the prettiest girls in the Thanalan, giving (and showing) their all for our faithful customers!" While some might deride the business as a glorified strip club, ''Up Your Street'' actually took very good care of its employees and turned out any patrons who attempted to force the girls to do anything but sing, dance and tell jokes. Alexaria found a measure of family in the business, and for the first time in years, felt happy to be alive.<br />
<br />
While she made decent money serving drinks, Alexaria shunned the spotlight, especially the idea of revealing her body to strangers. The malnutrition she suffered previously had left her skinny and eroded her natural athleticism, and she felt clumsy and ungraceful. But, after hours one night, she began to sing as she had at school--unaware that much of the management was having a meeting in back. They asked Alex to show them how she danced, and though she thought she might fall over at any moment, the owners were impressed and offered Alexaria work as a dancing girl (second string) in some of the easier stage shows.<br />
<br />
Alexaria started working out and spent her money on healthy food, building back up the muscle she had when the fight club was at its peak. Dancing gave her a smooth, hard body and the confidence to work her way up until she was singing numbers by herself--sometimes the main attraction of the night. Unfortunately, such success was short lived as the laws of Ul'dah changed, allowing dancing girls to appear on the streets. Which such cheap titillation in high supply, ''Up Your Street'' found their business dwindle to nothing and closed down.<br />
<br />
What happened next is barely known to anyone, but what Alexaria will tell people is that she left Eorzea, and her citizenship was revoked after a prolonged absence. When she returned, her body had changed from that of an athletic dancer to a fighting powerhouse, and her demeanor had become that of a careful and emotionless spectre living at the edges of society. She registered with the Pugilist and Weavers guilds, and began a new and quiet life.<br />

: Alexaria Whiteraven is well-built and her skin is quite tan. People call her pretty, though she has a long scar starting between her eyes and leading down her right cheek. Her nose is fairly long, her eyes are a bright ocean-blue, and her facepaint matches this color. Her most distinguishing feature is her white hair.<br />
<br />
: Alexaria (who will answer to Alex) may seem at first turn to be cold, or possibly aloof. People who speak to her, however, tend to point out she's very intelligent and not unkind. Her face rarely displays any sort of emotion other than the occasional raised or furrowed brow. She speaks clearly and in an even tone. She is usually very polite and her manner suggests trained etiquette.<br />
<br />
<font style="color:#0093AF;" size="2">'''★'''Information here may seem limited. This is intentional. Alexaria does not share details about her life or history freely. Anything listed here is reasonably public knowledge. Many (if not most) rumors about her are false.</font><br />

<table style="position:center;" width="75%"><br />
<br />
: Alexaria shuns the spotlight. She prefers to listen and watch from nearby or afar, and works by herself. Even so, she is a naturally curious woman like the ravens of her family's namesake, often approaching complete strangers with questions -- sometimes very frank questions. Even so she will stress that her intentions are never malign, and will politely cease inquiry or leave if her presence is an annoyance.<br />
<br />
<br />
: Alexaria dresses in distinct, personally-made garments most of the time. As a seamstress, she tends to model her own work when in public. She prefers comfort above all else...comfort, in her case, tends to be very revealing outfits that highlight her physique. Even when covering herself, she tries to wear clothing that breathes well and can shed the heat generated by activity (exercise, labor or fighting).<br />
<font style="color:#0093AF;" size="2">'''★'''The following are things that could be picked up by simply observing Alexaria for a time, and are facets of her life she makes no secret of. Though she suppresses emotion, she still has preferences about how she spends her time and things she avoids.</font><br />

<br />
Alexaria is very, very careful about speaking of her past. She shares some tales with a charming, nonchalant attitude while carefully withholding sensitive information. Anyone asking around the Quicksand is likely to pick up one or two "facts" about Alexaria--if you believe your character has reason to know anything in this section, you may proceed as long as you understand you will never have the whole story.<br />
<br />
=====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Childhood</div>=====<br />
<br />
Alexaria is open enough about her childhood--she describes herself as growing up a bit spoiled, "with a silver spoon in my mouth", as the daughter of a wealthy merchant of Ul'dah. She never wanted for anything until her adolescence, when her father sent her to an all-girl's private school in the Black Shroud. Suddenly, everything Alexaria knew had changed.<br />
<br />
No longer able to wallow in her father's opulence, Alexaria was subjected to a rigorous curriculum and made to live in a dormitory on the grounds of her school. As a teenager, Alex found it grueling in contrast to her idyllic childhood; in retrospect, she sees how easy it was--physically--compared to the harshness of life for the unwealthy laborers who support Ul'dah every day. However, she will never forgive her scholastic experiences for anything but what they were: indoctrination to be the ideal wife of a wealthy businessman or noble.<br />
<br />
Alexaria railed against her teachers and the school staff, breaking rules and inviting them to punish her as far as their disciplinary mandate allowed them. Her brashness made her popular, and soon she had a clique of girls that seemed to worship her, after only two years. She also butted heads with many of the other popular girls who could not see why Alex insisted on causing trouble and looked down on her for being "sexless, careless and rude" (as one girl put it).<br />
<br />
In her second year, Alexaria became aware of a new student who also had little love of the institution, and had been similarly "sentenced" to the school to "straighten her out". Initially the girls fought over nearly everything, being rivals in all physical activities and arguing constantly whenever near each other. Eventually they started having real fights, with Alexaria having the snot knocked out of her regularly by the far more aggressive girl. When confronted on their bouts, the girls lied to protect themselves and ended up protecting each other, gaining a measure of admiration in each others' eyes.<br />
<br />
The two started an "extracurricular activities group", ostensibly giving other girls a chance to do more physical education. In truth, it was a fight club--Alexaria saw this as an excellent way to give her classmates confidence, and erode the indoctrination of the school. It was at this time that Alexaria realized how she felt about girls in general, and her one-time rival became her first and closest lover. Other girls in the club began to experiment as well.<br />
<br />
When stories began to circulate about the club (and bruises became more visible on the faces of its members), the school sought to suppress all such activity. One girl--a member who had once sought to quash Alex's popularity--decided she would remove Alexaria as an obstacle by pitting her against her best friend. Through her manipulations, Alexaria and the other girl scarred each others' faces in a nearly-mortal knife fight, and were summarily expelled.<br />

<br />
=====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Childhood</div>=====<br />
<br />
Alexaria is open enough about her childhood--she describes herself as growing up a bit spoiled, "with a silver spoon in my mouth", as the daughter of a wealthy merchant of Ul'dah. She never wanted for anything until her adolescence, when her father sent her to an all-girl's private school in the Black Shroud. Suddenly, everything Alexaria knew had changed.<br />
<br />
No longer able to wallow in her father's opulence, Alexaria was subjected to a rigorous curriculum and made to live in a dormitory on the grounds of her school. As a teenager, Alex found it grueling in contrast to her idyllic childhood; in retrospect, she sees how easy it was--physically--compared to the harshness of life for the unwealthy laborers who support Ul'dah every day. However, she will never forgive her scholastic experiences for anything but what they were: indoctrination to be the ideal wife of a wealthy businessman or noble.<br />
<br />
Alexaria railed against her teachers and the school staff, breaking rules and inviting them to punish her as far as their disciplinary mandate allowed them. Her brashness made her popular, and soon she had a clique of girls that seemed to worship her, after only two years. She also butted heads with many of the other popular girls who could not see why Alex insisted on causing trouble and looked down on her for being "sexless, careless and rude" (as one girl put it).<br />
<br />
In her second year, Alexaria became aware of a new student who also had little love of the institution, and had been similarly "sentenced" to the school to "straighten her out". Initially the girls fought over nearly everything, being rivals in all physical activities and arguing constantly whenever near each other. Eventually they started having real fights, with Alexaria having the snot knocked out of her regularly by the far more aggressive girl. When confronted on their bouts, the girls lied to protect themselves and ended up protecting each other, gaining a measure of admiration in each others' eyes.<br />
<br />
The two started an "extracurricular activities group", ostensibly giving other girls a chance to do more physical education. In truth, it was a fight club--Alexaria saw this as an excellent way to give her classmates confidence, and erode the indoctrination of the school. It was at this time that Alexaria realized how she felt about girls in general, and her one-time rival became her first and closest lover. Other girls in the club began to experiment as well.<br />
<br />
When stories began to circulate about the club (and bruises became more visible on the faces of its members), the school sought to suppress all such activity. One girl--a member who had once sought to quash Alex's popularity--decided she would remove Alexaria as an obstacle by pitting her against her best friend. Through her manipulations, Alexaria and the other girl scarred each others' faces in a nearly-mortal knife fight, and were summarily expelled.<br />

: <font style="color:#00B7EB;" size="3">★</font> [[Natalie Mcbeef]] - One of the first people Alexaria met upon returning home to Ul'dah. Alexaria greatly respects Natalie, and offers the Miqo'te counsel whenever asked. She thinks Natalie's long hair looks wonderful.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#00B7EB;" size="3">★</font> [[Kage Kiryuu]] - Alexaria enjoys Kage's company a great deal, being more at ease with him than just about anyone she knows. She always tries to speak with him where ever she finds him.<br />

Chokho is more accepting of Alexaria's lifestyle and personal choice than many of Alex's other acquaintances, and for this Alex is deeply thankful.

<br />
: <font style="color:#71BC78;" size="3">●</font> [[Nazeru Auronas]] - Though their relationship began with Nazeru making passes at Alexaria, Alexaria's refusal to show emotion frustrates Nazeru.

<br />
: <font style="color:#00B7EB;" size="3">★</font> [[Natalie Mcbeef]] - One of the first people Alexaria met upon returning home to Ul'dah. Alexaria greatly respects Natalie, and offers the Miqo'te counsel whenever asked. She thinks Natalie's long hair looks wonderful.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#00B7EB;" size="3">★</font> [[Kage Kiryuu]] - Alexaria enjoys Kage's company a great deal, being more at ease with him than just about anyone she knows. She always tries to speak with him where ever she finds him.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#00B7EB;" size="3">★</font> [[Chokho Viqqoh]] - Chokho is one of the few flirtatious women Alexaria seems relaxed around. Chokho is more accepting of Alexaria's lifestyle and personal choice than many of Alex's other acquaintances, and for this Alex is deeply thankful. They peacefully disagree on some points, but Alexaria trusts Chokho--even though she is keeping a careful eye on the dark Miqo'te's actions.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#008080;" size="3">★</font> [[Ennara Calian]] - Ennara and Alexaria grew quite close over the span of a few weeks--eventually growing too close for comfort (for Alexaria at least). Ennara took their "break up" fairly roughly, but Alexaria wants to maintain a healthy relationship with Ennara over the long term.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#71BC78;" size="3">●</font> [[Nazeru Auronas]] - Though their relationship began with Nazeru making passes at Alexaria, Alexaria's refusal to show emotion frustrates Nazeru. The redhead is quick to pass judgement on Alexaria's actions, but Alexaria does not hold any sort of grudge against Nazeru.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#008080;" size="3">★</font>[[Augustine Frost]] - Dirty and unkempt Augustine may be, but Alexaria sees in him something he refuses to believe exists: a heart. Her chief concern is that he will actively try to stamp it out instead of accepting that he could be cared for honestly.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#960018;" size="3">■</font> [[Marrow Ochi]] - Alexaria doesn't quite believe Marrow is the Primal she says she is, but harbors concern over what could happen if Marrow actually is.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#008080;" size="3">★</font>[[Trisselle Ganathain]] - Alexaria holds this Duskwight in high regard, and her poise reminds Alex that Duskwights must always be judged person to person. Though they seem to float in different circles, Alexaria tries to make time for Trisselle when she can.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#71BC78;" size="3">●</font>[[Silonon Chandra]] - An eccentric Hyur that Alexaria finds, above all else, entertaining. She has decided to be more careful in her dealings with him after a few odd events, but would come to the Midlander's aid any time.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#960018;" size="3">■</font>[[K'weh Featherstroud]] - She once admired "Feather" for his singing skill and modesty, but the ease with which the Miqo'te turned to violence during a stressful encounter keeps Alexaria at a distance, for now.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#71BC78;" size="3">●</font> [[U'zhan Tia]] - The dark-skinned Miqo'te bewilders Alexaria at times. She watches his interactions with other of her acquaintances carefully, apparently trying to "figure him out".<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#71BC78;" size="3">●</font>[[Haruki Aoyuki]] - Though she's only met the gentleman briefly, she has great respect for people who say little (whether by choice or circumstance). Obviously, since he doesn't speak, she's very curious about him.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#71BC78;" size="3">●</font> [[Araswel Dakwhil]] - Alexaria respects Araswel as a fighter and as a teacher, though she feels she has little to learn from the Miqo'te battlemaster. Alex feels Araswel's martial focus may be too narrow, and hopes Araswel has something meaningful to fight for--or at least, has a non-combative hobby.<br />

<br />
<b></b> Togy Brandmakt, aka Mr Mask, is a crazed man. Not too much is known about him publicly, and he likes to keep it that way. All that is really known is that he is crazy. He has a tendency to be a rather brutal person and will flip like a switch on people, being friendly and cheerful one second, digging his dagger into their eye the next. There are a few that can keep him in check, but outside of that, most tend to stay away from him. He is a powerful powerful mage, for many a reason, though he keeps those secret as well, but is also adept at fighting with his dagger or two, his 200lb long bow, and his mask. He ALWAYS fights with his mask.<i></i><br />

==Character==<br />
===General=== <br />
Spahro is a trouble maker, and she always has been. never content anywhere, she's prone to wandering. Recently she's taken up residence in Ul'Dah as a reporter for ''Tonberry's Lantern''. She'd gained some notoriety as a scandal reporter, often being accused of turning the prestigious ''Lantern'' into nothing more than a cheap tabloid, but no one can argue that she moves paper. Sales are the highest they've been in years with her on the front page.<br />
<br />
===Appearance===<br />
Spahro is of slightly below average height for a Miqo'te with dark grey skin and coal black hair. She dresses very well for someone of such a meager income, and can usually be spotted in any crowd by the colorful outfits she chooses. She has a scar over her right eye, though its origin changes with each telling of its story, and she keeps her face painted with the ritual hunting paint of her hereditary tribe, despite seeming to keep to none of their other traditions and not actually being a hunter.<br />
<br />
===Personality===<br />
Spahro's personality is a verb rather than a noun. She tends to hit people over the head with it until they're dazed into passivity or driven away. She tends towards the abrasive, punctuating most sentences with either sarcasm or accusations depending on whether or not she's doing her job and how seriously she's taking it at the time.<br />
==Combat==<br />
Spahro actually has some combat training, but is no soldier. She prefers the pen over the sword any day, though she's capable of defending herself against local wildlife and common urban dangers effectively.<br />
<br />
==Roleplay Hooks==<br />

<br />
:* "She said she caught the Pox from an Ishgardian Dragoon. Worst case the Alchemist Guild has seen in years. I would say she needs to be more careful with her lovers. She also has no idea what storks are for." - [[Alexaria Whiteraven]]<br />

<br />
==Appearance==<br />
Taller than the average Miqo'te female, Y'suri stands at just over five fulms with a dark, curvy frame and a large bust that any woman would kill for. Her naturally darker skin sets her apart from most individuals that surround her, often drawing unwanted attention. Muscle tone is not something easily spotted without close inspection, as she's never really physically exerted herself on a daily basis. Short brown hair accompanied by pigtails hanging from either side of her face, tipped with blonde highlights, covers her head and bangs that barely hang over her eyes. She has a small scar across the bridge of her nose and another gashed into her right cheek, both reminders of a troubled past. Her eyes, probably her most notable feature, pierce through any that may catch a glimpse. Pale icy hues of blue that hide behind strands of hair spring to life against her dark skin and are often a conversation starter. Some would even say under dimmer lighting conditions they would glow a faint green. Accompanying her eyes are equally bright blue freckles; Such an unusual color with no understanding as to how or why, perhaps something to do with her inner aether.<br />
<br />
In most instances, Y'suri covers herself well. With the exception of her favorite pair of thigh-high boots and occasionally a skirt, she dresses rather conservatively. She's most commonly sighted with a white initiate's gown and a chocobo feather weaved into her hair. With a lack of an income and a home, mixing and matching hand-me-downs and whatever she can snatch from distracted eyes can become quite a pain. Still, she considers herself fashionable with what she has. In private she lives a different life. Whenever she manages to find a roof to live under for a few days, it's not uncommon for her to be prancing around in next to nothing.<br />
==History==<br />
WiP. Short of it all: Currently homeless, no parents or profession. Aspiring thaumaturge and occasional thief.<br />
==Personality==<br />
One would normally see Y'suri standing quietly in The Quicksand or roaming the streets of Ul'dah. She tends to keep to herself, as she is usually unable to gather the courage to initiate any sort of interaction. Once the words start flowing though, she quickly unwinds. Y'suri speaks softly, often popping a small joke here and there during a conversation whether it be appropriate or not. Playfulness aside, she's not afraid to throw a punch with those scrawny arms. Y'suri takes pride in the fact that she has survived alone for the majority of her life and has learned to defend herself. Those who get to know her will discover she is a very determined and strong willed individual who tends to push herself a bit hard to better herself.<br />
<br />
She's apt to open up more to the company of a female, and more likely to try and find an escape from contact with a male. This is largely due to her past relationship with the man she despises calling her father, as it's not easy to overcome years of physical and mental abuse. She lacks trust in almost any man, and it's likely to take time for her to warm up to one.<br />
<br />
That being said, she can be quite the flirt. A lack of socializing with people has set her appetite for physical contact rather high. She often finds herself staring at women (and men on rare occasions) in The Quicksand for minutes at a time. Given the opportunity for alone time, she'll likely take you up on it if it means a roof to stay in and a little fun for the night. But don't get the wrong idea, she doesn't do this with everyone. If Y'suri doesn't feel a connection, she's likely to shy away from the idea. Nine times out of ten she will refuse to be alone with a man.<br />
<br />
Eager to make new friends and contacts, she's unlikely to turn down a request for help if she can benefit from it. Need some company? She's likely to have a seat, listen or eat - provided you pay. Or maybe help with a job? If it gives her a chance to practice her thaumaturgy, she won't hesitate.<br />

: Alexaria Whiteraven is well-built and her skin is quite tan. People call her pretty, though she has a long scar starting between her eyes and leading down her right cheek. Her nose is fairly long, her eyes are a bright ocean-blue, and her facepaint matches this color. Her most distinguishing feature is her white hair.<br />
<br />
: Alexaria (who will answer to Alex) may seem at first turn to be cold, or possibly aloof. People who speak to her, however, tend to point out she's very intelligent and not unkind. Her face rarely displays any sort of emotion other than the occasional raised or furrowed brow. She speaks clearly and in an even tone. She is usually very polite and her manner suggests trained etiquette.<br />
<br />
<font style="color:#0093AF;" size="2">'''★'''Information here may seem limited. This is intentional. Alexaria does not share details about her life or history freely. Anything listed here is reasonably public knowledge. Many (if not most) rumors about her are false.</font><br />

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Basic Info</div>===<br />
<table style="position:center;" width="75%"><br />
<br />
: Alexaria shuns the spotlight. She prefers to listen and watch from nearby or afar, and works by herself. Even so, she is a naturally curious woman like the ravens of her family's namesake, often approaching complete strangers with questions -- sometimes very frank questions. Even so she will stress that her intentions are never malign, and will politely cease inquiry or leave if her presence is an annoyance.<br />
<br />
<br />
: Alexaria dresses in distinct, personally-made garments most of the time. As a seamstress, she tends to model her own work when in public. She prefers comfort above all else...comfort, in her case, tends to be very revealing outfits that highlight her physique. Even when covering herself, she tries to wear clothing that breathes well and can shed the heat generated by activity (exercise, labor or fighting).<br />
<font style="color:#0093AF;" size="2">'''★'''The following are things that could be picked up by simply observing Alexaria for a time, and are facets of her life she makes no secret of. Though she suppresses emotion, she still has preferences about how she spends her time and things she avoids.</font><br />

<br />
: <font style="color:#00B7EB;" size="3">★</font> [[Natalie Mcbeef]] - One of the first people Alexaria met upon returning home to Ul'dah. Alexaria greatly respects Natalie, and offers the Miqo'te counsel whenever asked. She thinks Natalie's long hair looks wonderful.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#00B7EB;" size="3">★</font> [[Kage Kiryuu]] - Alexaria enjoys Kage's company a great deal, being more at ease with him than just about anyone she knows. She always tries to speak with him where ever she finds him.<br />

Chokho is more accepting of Alexaria's lifestyle and personal choice than many of Alex's other acquaintances, and for this Alex is deeply thankful.

<br />
: <font style="color:#008080;" size="3">★</font> [[Ennara Calian]] - Ennara and Alexaria grew quite close over the span of a few weeks--eventually growing too close for comfort (for Alexaria at least). Ennara took their "break up" fairly roughly, but Alexaria wants to maintain a healthy relationship with Ennara over the long term.<br />

: <font style="color:#71BC78;" size="3">●</font> [[Nazeru Auronas]] - Though their relationship began with Nazeru making passes at Alexaria, Alexaria's refusal to show emotion frustrates Nazeru. The redhead is quick to pass judgement on Alexaria's actions, but Alexaria does not hold any sort of grudge against Nazeru.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#008080;" size="3">★</font>[[Augustine Frost]] - Dirty and unkempt Augustine may be, but Alexaria sees in him something he refuses to believe exists: a heart. Her chief concern is that he will actively try to stamp it out instead of accepting that he could be cared for honestly.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#960018;" size="3">■</font> [[Marrow Ochi]] - Alexaria doesn't quite believe Marrow is the Primal she says she is, but harbors concern over what could happen if Marrow actually is.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#008080;" size="3">★</font>[[Trisselle Ganathain]] - Alexaria holds this Duskwight in high regard, and her poise reminds Alex that Duskwights must always be judged person to person. Though they seem to float in different circles, Alexaria tries to make time for Trisselle when she can.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#71BC78;" size="3">●</font>[[Silonon Chandra]] - An eccentric Hyur that Alexaria finds, above all else, entertaining. She has decided to be more careful in her dealings with him after a few odd events, but would come to the Midlander's aid any time.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#960018;" size="3">■</font>[[K'weh Featherstroud]] - She once admired "Feather" for his singing skill and modesty, but the ease with which the Miqo'te turned to violence during a stressful encounter keeps Alexaria at a distance, for now.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#71BC78;" size="3">●</font> [[U'zhan Tia]] - The dark-skinned Miqo'te bewilders Alexaria at times. She watches his interactions with other of her acquaintances carefully, apparently trying to "figure him out".<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#71BC78;" size="3">●</font>[[Haruki Aoyuki]] - Though she's only met the gentleman briefly, she has great respect for people who say little (whether by choice or circumstance). Obviously, since he doesn't speak, she's very curious about him.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#71BC78;" size="3">●</font> [[Araswel Dakwhil]] - Alexaria respects Araswel as a fighter and as a teacher, though she feels she has little to learn from the Miqo'te battlemaster. Alex feels Araswel's martial focus may be too narrow, and hopes Araswel has something meaningful to fight for--or at least, has a non-combative hobby.<br />

: Alexaria Whiteraven is well-built and her skin is quite tan. People call her pretty, though she has a long scar starting between her eyes and leading down her right cheek. Her nose is fairly long, her eyes are a bright ocean-blue, and her facepaint matches this color. Her most distinguishing feature is her white hair.<br />
<br />
: Alexaria (who will answer to Alex) may seem at first turn to be cold, or possibly aloof. People who speak to her, however, tend to point out she's very intelligent and not unkind. Her face rarely displays any sort of emotion other than the occasional raised or furrowed brow. She speaks clearly and in an even tone. She is usually very polite and her manner suggests trained etiquette.<br />
<br />
<font style="color:#0093AF;" size="2">'''★'''Information here may seem limited. This is intentional. Alexaria does not share details about her life or history freely. Anything listed here is reasonably public knowledge. Many (if not most) rumors about her are false.</font><br />

<table style="position:center;" width="75%"><br />
<br />
: Alexaria shuns the spotlight. She prefers to listen and watch from nearby or afar, and works by herself. Even so, she is a naturally curious woman like the ravens of her family's namesake, often approaching complete strangers with questions -- sometimes very frank questions. Even so she will stress that her intentions are never malign, and will politely cease inquiry or leave if her presence is an annoyance.<br />
<br />
<br />
: Alexaria dresses in distinct, personally-made garments most of the time. As a seamstress, she tends to model her own work when in public. She prefers comfort above all else...comfort, in her case, tends to be very revealing outfits that highlight her physique. Even when covering herself, she tries to wear clothing that breathes well and can shed the heat generated by activity (exercise, labor or fighting).<br />
<font style="color:#0093AF;" size="2">'''★'''The following are things that could be picked up by simply observing Alexaria for a time, and are facets of her life she makes no secret of. Though she suppresses emotion, she still has preferences about how she spends her time and things she avoids.</font><br />

: <font style="color:#0093AF;" size="3">■</font>"She's always in the company of another Highlander female. What could their relationship be?" - [[Haruki Aoyuki]]<br />
: <font style="color:#0093AF;" size="3">■</font> "Some days I wonder exactly who Alex is, but then I think that I don't care. She's always been kind and lends a helpful ear." - [[Kage Kiryuu]]<br />

: <font style="color:#0093AF;" size="3">■</font> "I'm not convinced Alexaria has her philosophy figured out entirely, but she's the only person I know with the depth of mind to try as hard as she does.

<br />
: <font style="color:#00B7EB;" size="3">★</font> [[Natalie Mcbeef]] - One of the first people Alexaria met upon returning home to Ul'dah. Alexaria greatly respects Natalie, and offers the Miqo'te counsel whenever asked. She thinks Natalie's long hair looks wonderful.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#00B7EB;" size="3">★</font> [[Kage Kiryuu]] - Alexaria enjoys Kage's company a great deal, being more at ease with him than just about anyone she knows. She always tries to speak with him where ever she finds him.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#00B7EB;" size="3">★</font> [[Chokho Viqqoh]] - Chokho is one of the few flirtatious women Alexaria seems relaxed around. Chokho is more accepting of Alexaria's lifestyle and personal choice than many of Alex's other acquaintances, and for this Alex is deeply thankful. They peacefully disagree on some points, but Alexaria trusts Chokho--even though she is keeping a careful eye on the dark Miqo'te's actions.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#008080;" size="3">★</font> [[Ennara Calian]] - Ennara and Alexaria grew quite close over the span of a few weeks--eventually growing too close for comfort (for Alexaria at least).

: <font style="color:#0093AF;" size="3">■</font> "Some days I wonder exactly who Alex is, but then I think that I don't care. She's always been kind and lends a helpful ear." - [[Kage Kiryuu]]<br />

<br />
: <font style="color:#00B7EB;" size="3">★</font> [[Natalie Mcbeef]] - One of the first people Alexaria met upon returning home to Ul'dah. Alexaria greatly respects Natalie, and offers the Miqo'te counsel whenever asked. She thinks Natalie's long hair looks wonderful.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#00B7EB;" size="3">★</font> [[Kage Kiryuu]] - Alexaria enjoys Kage's company a great deal, being more at ease with him than just about anyone she knows. She always tries to speak with him where ever she finds him.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#00B7EB;" size="3">★</font> [[Chokho Viqqoh]] - Chokho is one of the few flirtatious women Alexaria seems relaxed around. Chokho is more accepting of Alexaria's lifestyle and personal choice than many of Alex's other acquaintances, and for this Alex is deeply thankful. They peacefully disagree on some points, but Alexaria trusts Chokho--even though she is keeping a careful eye on the dark Miqo'te's actions.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#0087BD;" size="3">★</font> [[Ennara Calian]] - Ennara and Alexaria grew quite close over the span of a few weeks--eventually growing too close for comfort (for Alexaria at least). Ennara took their "break up" fairly roughly, but Alexaria wants to maintain a healthy relationship with Ennara over the long term.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#008080;" size="3">●</font> [[Nazeru Auronas]] - Though their relationship began with Nazeru making passes at Alexaria, Alexaria's refusal to show emotion frustrates Nazeru.

<br />
: <font style="color:#0087BD;" size="3">★</font>[[Augustine Frost]] - Dirty and unkempt Augustine may be, but Alexaria sees in him something he refuses to believe exists: a heart. Her chief concern is that he will actively try to stamp it out instead of accepting that he could be cared for honestly.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#960018;" size="3">■</font> [[Marrow Ochi]] - Alexaria doesn't quite believe Marrow is the Primal she says she is, but harbors concern over what could happen if Marrow actually is.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#0087BD;" size="3">★</font>[[Trisselle Ganathain]] - Alexaria holds this Duskwight in high regard, and her poise reminds Alex that Duskwights must always be judged person to person. Though they seem to float in different circles, Alexaria tries to make time for Trisselle when she can.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#008080;" size="3">●</font>[[Silonon Chandra]] - An eccentric Hyur that Alexaria finds, above all else, entertaining. She has decided to be more careful in her dealings with him after a few odd events, but would come to the Midlander's aid any time.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#960018;" size="3">■</font>[[K'weh Featherstroud]] - She once admired "Feather" for his singing skill and modesty, but the ease with which the Miqo'te turned to violence during a stressful encounter keeps Alexaria at a distance, for now.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#008080;" size="3">●</font> [[U'zhan Tia]] - The dark-skinned Miqo'te bewilders Alexaria at times. She watches his interactions with other of her acquaintances carefully, apparently trying to "figure him out".<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#008080;" size="3">●</font>[[Haruki Aoyuki]] - Though she's only met the gentleman briefly, she has great respect for people who say little (whether by choice or circumstance). Obviously, since he doesn't speak, she's very curious about him.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#008080;" size="3">●</font> [[Araswel Dakwhil]] - Alexaria respects Araswel as a fighter and as a teacher, though she feels she has little to learn from the Miqo'te battlemaster. Alex feels Araswel's martial focus may be too narrow, and hopes Araswel has something meaningful to fight for--or at least, has a non-combative hobby.<br />

: Alexaria Whiteraven is well-built and her skin is quite tan. People call her pretty, though she has a long scar starting between her eyes and leading down her right cheek. Her nose is fairly long, her eyes are a bright ocean-blue, and her facepaint matches this color. Her most distinguishing feature is her white hair.<br />
<br />
: Alexaria (who will answer to Alex) may seem at first turn to be cold, or possibly aloof. People who speak to her, however, tend to point out she's very intelligent and not unkind. Her face rarely displays any sort of emotion other than the occasional raised or furrowed brow. She speaks clearly and in an even tone. She is usually very polite and her manner suggests trained etiquette.<br />
<br />
<font style="color:#0093AF;" size="2">'''★'''Information here may seem limited. This is intentional. Alexaria does not share details about her life or history freely. Anything listed here is reasonably public knowledge. Many (if not most) rumors about her are false.</font><br />

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Basic Info</div>===<br />
<table style="position:center;" width="75%"><br />
<br />
: Alexaria shuns the spotlight. She prefers to listen and watch from nearby or afar, and works by herself. Even so, she is a naturally curious woman like the ravens of her family's namesake, often approaching complete strangers with questions -- sometimes very frank questions. Even so she will stress that her intentions are never malign, and will politely cease inquiry or leave if her presence is an annoyance.<br />
<br />
<br />
: Alexaria dresses in distinct, personally-made garments most of the time. As a seamstress, she tends to model her own work when in public. She prefers comfort above all else...comfort, in her case, tends to be very revealing outfits that highlight her physique. Even when covering herself, she tries to wear clothing that breathes well and can shed the heat generated by activity (exercise, labor or fighting).<br />
<font style="color:#0093AF;" size="2">'''★'''The following are things that could be picked up by simply observing Alexaria for a time, and are facets of her life she makes no secret of. Though she suppresses emotion, she still has preferences about how she spends her time and things she avoids.</font><br />

<table style="position:center;" width="75%"><br />
<br />
: Alexaria shuns the spotlight. She prefers to listen and watch from nearby or afar, and works by herself. Even so, she is a naturally curious woman like the ravens of her family's namesake, often approaching complete strangers with questions -- sometimes very frank questions. Even so she will stress that her intentions are never malign, and will politely cease inquiry or leave if her presence is an annoyance.<br />
<br />
<br />
: Alexaria dresses in distinct, personally-made garments most of the time. As a seamstress, she tends to model her own work when in public. She prefers comfort above all else...comfort, in her case, tends to be very revealing outfits that highlight her physique. Even when covering herself, she tries to wear clothing that breathes well and can shed the heat generated by activity (exercise, labor or fighting).<br />
<font style="color:#0093AF;" size="2">'''★'''The following are things that could be picked up by simply observing Alexaria for a time, and are facets of her life she makes no secret of. Though she suppresses emotion, she still has preferences about how she spends her time and things she avoids.</font><br />

<br />
: <font style="color:#00FFFF;" size="3">★</font> [[Natalie Mcbeef]] - One of the first people Alexaria met upon returning home to Ul'dah. Alexaria greatly respects Natalie, and offers the Miqo'te counsel whenever asked. She thinks Natalie's long hair looks wonderful.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#00FFFF;" size="3">★</font> [[Kage Kiryuu]] - Alexaria enjoys Kage's company a great deal, being more at ease with him than just about anyone she knows. She always tries to speak with him where ever she finds him.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#00FFFF;" size="3">★</font> [[Chokho Viqqoh]] - Chokho is one of the few flirtatious women Alexaria seems relaxed around. Chokho is more accepting of Alexaria's lifestyle and personal choice than many of Alex's other acquaintances, and for this Alex is deeply thankful. They peacefully disagree on some points, but Alexaria trusts Chokho--even though she is keeping a careful eye on the dark Miqo'te's actions.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#0087BD;" size="3">★</font> [[Ennara Calian]] - Ennara and Alexaria grew quite close over the span of a few weeks--eventually growing too close for comfort (for Alexaria at least). Ennara took their "break up" fairly roughly, but Alexaria wants to maintain a healthy relationship with Ennara over the long term.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#008080;" size="3">●</font> [[Nazeru Auronas]] - Though their relationship began with Nazeru making passes at Alexaria, Alexaria's refusal to show emotion frustrates Nazeru. The redhead is quick to pass judgement on Alexaria's actions, but Alexaria does not hold any sort of grudge against Nazeru.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#0087BD;" size="3">★</font>[[Augustine Frost]] - Dirty and unkempt Augustine may be, but Alexaria sees in him something he refuses to believe exists: a heart. Her chief concern is that he will actively try to stamp it out instead of accepting that he could be cared for honestly.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#960018;" size="3">■</font> [[Marrow Ochi]] - Alexaria doesn't quite believe Marrow is the Primal she says she is, but harbors concern over what could happen if Marrow actually is.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#0087BD;" size="3">★</font>[[Trisselle Ganathain]] - Alexaria holds this Duskwight in high regard, and her poise reminds Alex that Duskwights must always be judged person to person. Though they seem to float in different circles, Alexaria tries to make time for Trisselle when she can.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#008080;" size="3">●</font>[[Silonon Chandra]] - An eccentric Hyur that Alexaria finds, above all else, entertaining. She has decided to be more careful in her dealings with him after a few odd events, but would come to the Midlander's aid any time.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#960018;" size="3">■</font>[[K'weh Featherstroud]] - She once admired "Feather" for his singing skill and modesty, but the ease with which the Miqo'te turned to violence during a stressful encounter keeps Alexaria at a distance, for now.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#008080;" size="3">●</font> [[U'zhan Tia]] - The dark-skinned Miqo'te bewilders Alexaria at times. She watches his interactions with other of her acquaintances carefully, apparently trying to "figure him out".<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#008080;" size="3">●</font>[[Haruki Aoyuki]] - Though she's only met the gentleman briefly, she has great respect for people who say little (whether by choice or circumstance). Obviously, since he doesn't speak, she's very curious about him.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#008080;" size="3">●</font> [[Araswel Dakwhil]] - Alexaria respects Araswel as a fighter and as a teacher, though she feels she has little to learn from the Miqo'te battlemaster. Alex feels Araswel's martial focus may be too narrow, and hopes Araswel has something meaningful to fight for--or at least, has a non-combative hobby.<br />

==Character==<br />
===General===<br />
Kage is a Dunesfolk Lalafell whose family have lived in the Thanalan for many, many years. He was traveling through Thanalan, The Clutch area, when he spied something that festered a strange feeling within him. He was driven and inspired by the events he saw. He saw Papashan and other Sultansworn come to the aid of another. It became the driving force within him to train to be a paladin and to eventually become Sultansworn. This led to him meeting with the Sultansworn, Natalie, as well as others that she knew. Recent events has caused him to realize that the politics of the job and those of Ul'dah might be something that he's not yet prepared for.<br />
<br />
===Appearance===<br />
<br />
Kage is the shortest of adult male Dunesfolk Lalafell. He has blue hair with highlights of a red shade. He also sports a goatee on his chin that he plays with when he's anxious. Currently he doesn't have an official job, taking odd jobs here and there to make ends meet. As such he doesn't wear any truly plated armor. Rarely can he be found in a mage's robe but more often than not he wears a tabard.<br />
<br />
===Behavior===<br />
<br />
Once he's comfortable and willing to open up, Kage will be happy to give people as good as he takes it. He's shy, soft-spoken, reserved and mild-mannered but also playfulwhen with friends. He cares very much for those he becomes friends with. As such, he does not take well to being insulted for seeing whether his friends are in danger or being harassed. Only his self-restraint keeps him from lashing out at someone physically or violently for doing so. He's very forceful when he feels like his friends need to be defended from physical or personal attack. He does not easily make friends by himself, usually making friends from friends. He can be found sitting on the rail in Quicksand, outside of Quicksand by Ruby Road, or sitting at a table in the Airship landing. Kage finds it very hard to lie to people to their faces and usually would prefer not to unless for a good reason. Thus, he hates it when people lie to him. He has a lot of anxieties about himself, but he's started to grow stronger as his training progresses. He believes in his friends and is generally too "goody two shoes". He wouldn't enforce this belief unto others, especially his friends, unless he thought that the trouble for them is too much or if it puts them into danger. He doesn't like it when his friends get hurt, being upset that they would not ask him for help or for him to cover their backs. He does not have a rigid sense of judgment only a subjective right or wrong on how people are affected.<br />
<br />

<br />

<br />
==Relationships==<br />
===Family===<br />
<br />
Kage's mother's side of the family had a heavy focus in thaumaturgy and a few tomes ready for study on some black magicks. Kage's father comes from a family who specialized in goldsmithing. His father does quite well in goldsmithing so that Kage and his family were never in want. Kage has two siblings, an older brother and a younger sister. His brother continues the family's goldsmithing business while his sister has turned to alchemy.<br />
<br />
===Friends===<br />
<br />
Kage has made a variety of friends in the city of Ul'dah. Many of them seem to be Miqo'te but he has made friends with Roen Deneith, a Midlander Hyur. He's gotten to know many of them through Natalie Mcbeef or through being in the Quicksand.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''[[Natalie Mcbeef]]:''': Kage had only heard of the Miqo'te Sultansworn until he decided to send her a missive that changed his life. While previously he had only ever entertained the thought of being a Paladin and then Sultansworn after seeing Papashan, Natalie gave him the advice and courage to move forward. He has since become one of Natalie's apprentices of sorts, having her mentor him. He's grown to expect things from Natalie that others would find to be the unexpected. A good way to describe part of their relationship is that she always finds ways to help Kage grow in either character or experience. Something that, in the specific moment, Kage does not always find helpful.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''[[Roen Deneith]]:''': Kage first met Roen right after he approached Natalie about Paladins and Sultansworn. She was introduced to him as a Paladin in-training. Natalie nominated Roen to mentor Kage of sorts. At first, the two did not seem to know how it would work but throughout each individuals' training, Kage realized that Roen would be a good friend. He thinks her very worthy of the Sultansworn title, believing that she deserves it more than he does even. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''[[C'kayah Tia]]:''': Through his constant interactions with Natalie, Kage interacted with the male Miqo'te often. While unsure of how Kayah seems to have many connections with some unsavory fellows as well as many others, he's found a sort of brotherly kinship with Kayah. He views Kayah as a good friend, completely supporting Natalie's relationship with him. <br />
<br />
<br />
'''[[U'tano Kazhe]]:''': While not sure how he felt about U, he quickly became very fond of the female Miqo'te. He first met her at a beach party in the Mist that was held after a series of stressful and danger-filled events involving his friends Natalie Mcbeef and Marrow Ochi, as well as Salem Nunh's own problem. U had been invited, meeting Kage at the party. At his second meeting with U, Kage interacted with her directly and was quite annoyed and non-plussed at her manhandling of him by holding him in the air and running around. He quickly found that he did not mind U's making an airship of him, being quite fond of her and her actions.<br />
<br />
===Enemies===<br />
Kage is generally easy to get along with and so far has not had the need nor the want to make enemies. However, he has started to have a bit of a dislike for those with lances. He's had quite a few unsavory meetings with those who wield those weapons.<br />
<br />
==Rumors==<br />
===Common Rumors===<br />
::* "He's that Lalafell always surrounded by a bunch of Miqo'te here in Ul'dah." - Ul'dahn citizen<br />
::* "I always see him sitting on the rail here." - Quicksand patron<br />
::* "I've seen him getting shoulder rides on Miqo'te. Strange."<br />
<br />
===Moderate Rumors===<br />
::* "He's always following that Miqo'te Sultansworn, Natalie, right?"<br />
<br />
===Rare Rumors===<br />
::* "I thought he was just a swordsman, but I've seen him running 'round in mage's outfits."<br />
::* "Don't see him taking on too many jobs, but he's always been in here drinking ale or just lounging on that rail."<br />
<br />
===Player Character Rumors===<br />
((Feel free to add))<br />
::* "There's not many people I talk to so little, and trust so much. Kage is polite, kind, and always a pleasure." -- [[Chokho Viqqoh]]<br />
::* "One thing I never doubt about Kage is his loyalty to those he cares about. Despite his kind nature, I suspect he will go to any lengths for his friends." -- [[Roen Deneith]]<br />
::* "You'd never know it by looking at him, but when the chips are down, there is no one better to have at your side" -- [[Natalie Mcbeef]]<br />
::* "It's amazing how this lalafell can mix complete brilliance and complete stupidity all in one cute body...When I see him all I think is well isn't he Brillidity. AYE! Thats it..I'm just going to call him Brilty for short." -- [[Surilian Blu]]<br />
::* "So now there are two Sultansworn in Ul'dah who are worth something. What an unexpected pleasure." -- [[C'kayah Tia]]<br />
::* "No one knows exactly what Kage Kiryuu is capable of. I hope to one day find out." -- [[Alexaria Whiteraven]]<br />
<br />
==History/Timeline==<br />
His mother raised Kage to be the heir of sorts since his oldest brother is better at shaping the fine and malleable metals that Kage was only average at. Kage has a fairly decent amount of control over the large amount of aether he has so his mother put him on that path. It was not a fulfilling life prospect and so a few years after the Calamity Kage found his life changing.<br />
<br />
Traveling through the Thanalan, The Clutch area, Kage observed an incident in which several Sultansworn came to the aid of a fellow. They were led by a Lalafell. Kage wasn't sure about how things came to be but he soon felt something in himself that wanted change. He wanted to do something with his life and not just follow the flow his family had set for him. Leaving against the protests of his mother, Kage packed his things and left for Ul'dah. He hid his aetherial disposition unless the very odd jobs that he took required them, and only if no one would be the wiser. He asked for help and advice, receiving it from those he'd made contact with. <br />
<br />
His aetherial proficiency came to surface when his friends showed that they might be in trouble. In a small confrontation between Marrow and a few others, he tried to use his magic to get Marrow and others out of the incident. It then became useful when dealing with a friend's, Salem Nunh's, crisis.<br />
<br />
Kage had since started to wind down and relax, focusing on his training to be better at using a sword and shield. He recently undertook the Sultansworn Trials alongside Roen. Erik Mynhier administered the Trial of Faith to Kage first. While lounging in the Quicksand and speaking with Natalie, he was surprised by the Trial of Courage Natalie decided to administer to him. He and Roen took the Trial of Loyalty together under Anelia Sadowyn. They left not knowing whether they passed or failed. After watching Roen's own Trial of Courage, Kage learned of his failing the Trial of Loyalty. Upon re-trial with his friend Lambert Arkwright of the Trial of Loyalty, they were told by Anelia that Kage and Lambert passed.<br />

: Alexaria Whiteraven is well-built and her skin is quite tan. People call her pretty, though she has a long scar starting between her eyes and leading down her right cheek. Her nose is fairly long, her eyes are a bright ocean-blue, and her facepaint matches this color. Her most distinguishing feature is her white hair.<br />
<br />
: Alexaria (who will answer to Alex) may seem at first turn to be cold, or possibly aloof. People who speak to her, however, tend to point out she's very intelligent and not unkind. Her face rarely displays any sort of emotion other than the occasional raised or furrowed brow. She speaks clearly and in an even tone. She is usually very polite and her manner suggests trained etiquette.<br />

<font style="color:#0093AF;" size="2">'''★'''Information here may seem limited. This is intentional. Alexaria does not share details about her life or history freely. Anything listed here is reasonably public knowledge. Many (if not most) rumors about her are false.</font><br />

She prefers comfort above all else...comfort, in her case, tends to be very revealing outfits that highlight her physique. Even when covering herself, she tries to wear clothing that breathes well and can shed the heat generated by activity (exercise, labor or fighting).<br />
<font style="color:#0093AF;" size="2">'''★'''The following are things that could be picked up by simply observing Alexaria for a time, and are facets of her life she makes no secret of. Though she suppresses emotion, she still has preferences about how she spends her time and things she avoids.</font><br />

<br />
: <font style="color:#00FFFF;" size="3">★</font> [[Natalie Mcbeef]] - One of the first people Alexaria met upon returning home to Ul'dah. Alexaria greatly respects Natalie, and offers the Miqo'te counsel whenever asked. She thinks Natalie's long hair looks wonderful.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#00FFFF;" size="3">★</font> [[Kage Kiryuu]] - Alexaria enjoys Kage's company a great deal, being more at ease with him than just about anyone she knows. She always tries to speak with him where ever she finds him.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#00FFFF;" size="3">★</font> [[Chokho Viqqoh]] - Chokho is one of the few flirtatious women Alexaria seems relaxed around. Chokho is more accepting of Alexaria's lifestyle and personal choice than many of Alex's other acquaintances, and for this Alex is deeply thankful. They peacefully disagree on some points, but Alexaria trusts Chokho--even though she is keeping a careful eye on the dark Miqo'te's actions.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#0087BD;" size="3">★</font> [[Ennara Calian]] - Ennara and Alexaria grew quite close over the span of a few weeks--eventually growing too close for comfort (for Alexaria at least). Ennara took their "break up" fairly roughly, but Alexaria wants to maintain a healthy relationship with Ennara over the long term.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#008080;" size="3">●</font> [[Nazeru Auronas]] - Though their relationship began with Nazeru making passes at Alexaria, Alexaria's refusal to show emotion frustrates Nazeru. The redhead is quick to pass judgement on Alexaria's actions, but Alexaria does not hold any sort of grudge against Nazeru.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#0087BD;" size="3">★</font>[[Augustine Frost]] - Dirty and unkempt Augustine may be, but Alexaria sees in him something he refuses to believe exists: a heart. Her chief concern is that he will actively try to stamp it out instead of accepting that he could be cared for honestly.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#960018;" size="3">■</font> [[Marrow Ochi]] - Alexaria doesn't quite believe Marrow is the Primal she says she is, but harbors concern over what could happen if Marrow actually is.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#0087BD;" size="3">★</font>[[Trisselle Ganathain]] - Alexaria holds this Duskwight in high regard, and her poise reminds Alex that Duskwights must always be judged person to person. Though they seem to float in different circles, Alexaria tries to make time for Trisselle when she can.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#008080;" size="3">●</font>[[Silonon Chandra]] - An eccentric Hyur that Alexaria finds, above all else, entertaining. She has decided to be more careful in her dealings with him after a few odd events, but would come to the Midlander's aid any time.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#960018;" size="3">■</font>[[K'weh Featherstroud]] - She once admired "Feather" for his singing skill and modesty, but the ease with which the Miqo'te turned to violence during a stressful encounter keeps Alexaria at a distance, for now.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#008080;" size="3">●</font> [[U'zhan Tia]] - The dark-skinned Miqo'te bewilders Alexaria at times. She watches his interactions with other of her acquaintances carefully, apparently trying to "figure him out".<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#008080;" size="3">●</font>[[Haruki Aoyuki]] - Though she's only met the gentleman briefly, she has great respect for people who say little (whether by choice or circumstance). Obviously, since he doesn't speak, she's very curious about him.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#008080;" size="3">●</font> [[Araswel Dakwhil]] - Alexaria respects Araswel as a fighter and as a teacher, though she feels she has little to learn from the Miqo'te battlemaster. Alex feels Araswel's martial focus may be too narrow, and hopes Araswel has something meaningful to fight for--or at least, has a non-combative hobby.<br />

: Alexaria Whiteraven is well-built and her skin is quite tan. People call her pretty, though she has a long scar starting between her eyes and leading down her right cheek. Her nose is fairly long, her eyes are a bright ocean-blue, and her facepaint matches this color. Her most distinguishing feature is her white hair.<br />
<br />
: Alexaria (who will answer to Alex) may seem at first turn to be cold, or possibly aloof. People who speak to her, however, tend to point out she's very intelligent and not unkind. Her face rarely displays any sort of emotion other than the occasional raised or furrowed brow. She speaks clearly and in an even tone. She is usually very polite and her manner suggests trained etiquette.<br />
<br />
<font style="color:#0093AF;" size="2">'''★'''Information here may seem limited. This is intentional. Alexaria does not share details about her life or history freely. Anything listed here is reasonably public knowledge. Many (if not most) rumors about her are false.</font><br />

<br />
: Alexaria shuns the spotlight. She prefers to listen and watch from nearby or afar, and works by herself. Even so, she is a naturally curious woman like the ravens of her family's namesake, often approaching complete strangers with questions -- sometimes very frank questions. Even so she will stress that her intentions are never malign, and will politely cease inquiry or leave if her presence is an annoyance.<br />
<br />
<br />
: Alexaria dresses in distinct, personally-made garments most of the time. As a seamstress, she tends to model her own work when in public. She prefers comfort above all else...comfort, in her case, tends to be very revealing outfits that highlight her physique.

: Alexaria Whiteraven is well-built and her skin is quite tan. People call her pretty, though she has a long scar starting between her eyes and leading down her right cheek. Her nose is fairly long, her eyes are a bright ocean-blue, and her facepaint matches this color. Her most distinguishing feature is her white hair.<br />
<br />
: Alexaria (who will answer to Alex) may seem at first turn to be cold, or possibly aloof. People who speak to her, however, tend to point out she's very intelligent and not unkind. Her face rarely displays any sort of emotion other than the occasional raised or furrowed brow. She speaks clearly and in an even tone. She is usually very polite and her manner suggests trained etiquette.<br />
<br />
<font style="color:#0093AF;" size="2">'''★'''Information here may seem limited. This is intentional. Alexaria does not share details about her life or history freely. Anything listed here is reasonably public knowledge. Many (if not most) rumors about her are false.</font><br />
<br />
<br />
===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Basic Info</div>===<br />
<table style="position:center;" width="75%"><br />
<br />
: Alexaria shuns the spotlight. She prefers to listen and watch from nearby or afar, and works by herself. Even so, she is a naturally curious woman like the ravens of her family's namesake, often approaching complete strangers with questions -- sometimes very frank questions. Even so she will stress that her intentions are never malign, and will politely cease inquiry or leave if her presence is an annoyance.<br />
<br />
<br />
: Alexaria dresses in distinct, personally-made garments most of the time. As a seamstress, she tends to model her own work when in public. She prefers comfort above all else...comfort, in her case, tends to be very revealing outfits that highlight her physique. Even when covering herself, she tries to wear clothing that breathes well and can shed the heat generated by activity (exercise, labor or fighting).<br />
<font style="color:#0093AF;" size="2">'''★'''The following are things that could be picked up by simply observing Alexaria for a time, and are facets of her life she makes no secret of. Though she suppresses emotion, she still has preferences about how she spends her time and things she avoids.</font><br />

<br />
: <font style="color:#00FFFF;" size="3">★</font> [[Natalie Mcbeef]] - One of the first people Alexaria met upon returning home to Ul'dah. Alexaria greatly respects Natalie, and offers the Miqo'te counsel whenever asked. She thinks Natalie's long hair looks wonderful.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#00FFFF;" size="3">★</font> [[Kage Kiryuu]] - Alexaria enjoys Kage's company a great deal, being more at ease with him than just about anyone she knows. She always tries to speak with him where ever she finds him.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#00FFFF;" size="3">★</font> [[Chokho Viqqoh]] - Chokho is one of the few flirtatious women Alexaria seems relaxed around. Chokho is more accepting of Alexaria's lifestyle and personal choice than many of Alex's other acquaintances, and for this Alex is deeply thankful. They peacefully disagree on some points, but Alexaria trusts Chokho--even though she is keeping a careful eye on the dark Miqo'te's actions.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#0087BD;" size="3">★</font> [[Ennara Calian]] - Ennara and Alexaria grew quite close over the span of a few weeks--eventually growing too close for comfort (for Alexaria at least). Ennara took their "break up" fairly roughly, but Alexaria wants to maintain a healthy relationship with Ennara over the long term.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#008080;" size="3">●</font> [[Nazeru Auronas]] - Though their relationship began with Nazeru making passes at Alexaria, Alexaria's refusal to show emotion frustrates Nazeru. The redhead is quick to pass judgement on Alexaria's actions, but Alexaria does not hold any sort of grudge against Nazeru.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#0087BD;" size="3">★</font>[[Augustine Frost]] - Dirty and unkempt Augustine may be, but Alexaria sees in him something he refuses to believe exists: a heart. Her chief concern is that he will actively try to stamp it out instead of accepting that he could be cared for honestly.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#960018;" size="3">■</font> [[Marrow Ochi]] - Alexaria doesn't quite believe Marrow is the Primal she says she is, but harbors concern over what could happen if Marrow actually is.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#0087BD;" size="3">★</font>[[Trisselle Ganathain]] - Alexaria holds this Duskwight in high regard, and her poise reminds Alex that Duskwights must always be judged person to person. Though they seem to float in different circles, Alexaria tries to make time for Trisselle when she can.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#008080;" size="3">●</font>[[Silonon Chandra]] - An eccentric Hyur that Alexaria finds, above all else, entertaining. She has decided to be more careful in her dealings with him after a few odd events, but would come to the Midlander's aid any time.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#960018;" size="3">■</font>[[K'weh Featherstroud]] - She once admired "Feather" for his singing skill and modesty, but the ease with which the Miqo'te turned to violence during a stressful encounter keeps Alexaria at a distance, for now.<br />

: Chokho Viqqoh is a character born from a desire of whimsy. Typically playing stoic and strong characters, I wanted to play someone who was able to truly and honestly enjoy the world while being relatively helpless (at first). As time went on I realized that a thuggish adrenaline-jockey would be boring, and the character became a philosopher. Now, she takes the world with a lightness of heart and an unusual depth of intelligence.<br />
<br />
: Her masked intelligence also comes into play with a desire to turn some tropes on their side. She has a hidden power that she does not fully understand. Instead of this running her life as is the case with most stories that start this way, she very quickly learned what she can and can't do without setting it off. Now she takes a very careful approach in trying to better understanding herself.<br />
<br />
<font style="color:#F37E1D;" size="2">'''★'''I'm very interested in pursuing a mentor/student relationship in philosophy, or certain classes, as well as expanding the Viqqoh family in game. Let me know if you'd like to work something out!</font><br />

<br />
: Chokho is a fun-loving hedonist that has the-... let's call it a distinction, of being generally incompetent when it comes to combat in an adventurer's world. Her quick smile and loud laugh do not come from a vapid lack of weight however. Instead, Chokho follows philosophy closely resembling nihilism. She believes she has seen the world for what it is, and knows there is no deeper meaning. And if all we have is what we make up, why not make up something that everyone can enjoy?<br />
<br />
<br />
: She's also a liar by trade. Her intentions and actions are so heavily obfuscated, it's nigh-impossible to tell what her goals are. But in the end she's relatively harmless, so Eorzea is not about to loose sleep over whatever game she's playing.<br />
<br />
<font style="color:#F37E1D;" size="2">'''★'''You can generally assume any knowledge here is NOT something easily accessible on an IC level! Chokho dedicates a lot of time and effort into concealing information about herself, by whatever means necessary.</font><br />

: Chokho looks like her appearance and acts like her personality.<br />
<br />
: Ok, but really.<br />
<br />
: Chokho stands just a touch taller than most other miqo'te. By far her most striking features are her incredibly dark skin and her tiger face-paint. Combined with her deep red eyes and pronounced canines, Chokho cuts an intimidating image.<br />
<br />
: Fortunately, that's where Chokho's intimidation ends. She's unmistakably non-threatening in the way she flirts and continually bounces around with a constant, playful energy. Her constant laughter and quick smile is more than enough to put most people at ease. Chokho's has an insatiable appetite for play and has no shame in cracking bad jokes or impishly teasing. If it wasn't for her lithe body - and her frequent flaunting of it - she could very easily be mistaken as entirely childish.<br />

<br />
<br />
<font style="color:#F37E1D;" size="2">'''★'''Viqqoh is a common name in Eorzea. Perhaps you've heard it before? That's likely because it's an often recommended name from moon keeper name generators - but forget about that. We can come up with a better reason than that!</font><br />
<br />
<br />
:A name is passed down to each child by keeper's [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Miqo%27te/Naming tradition]. Some of these names can be traced as far back as the First Astral Era. Viqqoh (alongside Luna and Jinjahl) is one such powerful name. The jungles of Othard house a large sect of the name Viqqoh. Through power pushed through guile, they've claim to be the original holders of the name before it spread to Eorzea.<br />
<br />
:The name carries deliberate power and pride to its members, but it's expanse has not been entirely mapped out! Chokho's family is deliberately open ended in some parts to allow other players to take up the roles if they desire. If the idea interests you, contact me! There are already two members of the family in play, though the other player a secret for the time being.<br />

====<div style="padding:0px 20px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;"> 1551 - 1561 </div>====<br />
<br />
:Chokho Viqqoh was born in the jungles of Othard to a large and powerful family. One of last children that her mother had, Chokho would have eventually grown up to be a powerful mage or skilled hunter like her many brothers and sisters, if not for an unusual illness.<br />
<br />
:Chokho was born pale and weak, and she would stay this way for her entire childhood. Local conjurers had never seen a sickness such and this and they were only able to surmise that some part of the girl, on an aetheric level, was "missing". There was a hole in her being that could be filled by no magic. Without a cure, Chokho was cursed to an eternal shortness of breath and frail form. She was not given long to live.<br />
<br />
:The girl was lucky in one thing: her mother. Chokho's mother was a powerful woman and matriarch to the clan. When the conjurers said there was nothing they could do, she told them to find someone better. When no one was found with an answer she liked, she took matters into her own hands. Even though the Viqqoh clan was founded on pride and power, its stern hunters and arguably ruthless mages rallied around one of their own. Through spells, foreign medicines, and more supplies than she could ever hope to reply, Chokho would live. She would never have the strength of her peers and could rarely muster the energy to leave her home, but she would live.<br />
<br />
:Her life was painful, but not without joy. While the majority of the clan could spare little time from their tasks, Chokho had the regular company of two other members who were deemed equally non-vital: her brother Xau'to and her father Hawu'a. Xau'to, a scoundrel by trade, was a frequent source of company and always had a trick up his sleeve or a story to tell to keep the sick child company. Any childhood Chokho has she owes to her sibling's affection. While her father often took to the road for the sake of the clan, he was never the less a pillar of stability for a life teetering so close to death. One of the most influential gestures he ever did was paint Chokho's face in the stripes she still wears today. Reminiscent of a tiger native to their home, Hawu'a was quick to remind Chokho how strong tigers are and how much she is like them. <br />
<br />
:While Chokho did not contribute to her tribe as much as the others, her sisters found her at least bearable. It certainly helped that for what she lacked in body she made up for in mind. With little to do outside her brother's company, Chokho sharpened her mind with whatever books her father brought home. Her insatiable appetite for knowledge was mostly a squandered gift on the amazonian family, but her stories and legends made her entertaining enough to not be considered a complete burden. <br />

<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Salem Nuhn]] - Chokho's first friend on arrival to Ul'dah, Salem's relaxed attitude and shared love of play instantly made him one of her best friends. A little heartbreak here and there isn't going to stop that.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#F02311;" size="3">♥</font> [[Nazeru Auronas]] - Though she's not about to admit it, Chokho's formed something of a relationship with her dashing friend. Excessive pampering and chocolate helps her overlook how this goes against her free-spirited approach to life.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Marrow Ochi]] - Marrow's power represents what Chokho believes can be Eorzea's saving grace, and the one thing to give her a spark of hope in her nihilism. She is constantly disappointing when Marrow fails to take care of herself, and unable to stop from feeling motherly when she can.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Kage Kiryuu]] - Met through Salem, Chokho knows very little about the lalafell. But what she does know, she likes! She's always happy to talk, and help him with his goals in whatever small way she can - even if she doesn't agree with them.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font> [[Natalie Mcbeef]] - Although Natalie offered Chokho a linkshell that now connects her with most of her friends, Chokho is wary of her. She'll often state she feels Natalie is narrow-minded or boring, but the truth is Chokho is just jealous of the attention she gets.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Alexaria Whiteraven]] - Like many contacts, Chokho was first drawn to Alexaria due to tight pants. Once all attempts to get into them fell flat, Chokho was surprised to find that Alex kept such a sharp, philosophical mind. She now delights in talking to the woman about deeper thoughts and the workings of the mind and spirit, instead of the flesh.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Ennara Calian]] - Met initially through Alexaria, Chokho has come to trust Ennara deeply after the highlander helped her out of a bad spot. Ennara is one of the few that Chokho knows will always help her... and keep a secret.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font> [[C'kayah Tia]] - Interesting enough to watch, but nothing more. Kayah HAS to be up to something as far as she's concerned, but she doesn't know what. He's good looking and well mannered though, so that's enough.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font> [[Arky Mosuke]] - Affectionately dubbed "Charmer", Chokho delights in Arky's gentlemanly manner. She's pegged him as someone with a secret, and is unwilling to invest more trust until more light comes to the situation.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[U'zhan Tia]] - Even though they're not terribly close, Chokho likes U'zhan. He swings by to tease her a little or joke around, and then goes on to take care of his own matters. No fuss, no complications, no problem.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font> [[Araswel Dakwhil]] - Chokho desperately wants to like the other moon keeper, but she has no idea how to. She's hyper-competent in all combat and completely unrelatable. After being told not to flirt with her, Chokho feels she's out of options.<br />
<br />
: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Delial Grimsong]] - Even though she knows next to nothing of the woman, Chokho is smitten. Between her alluring voice and regal poise, Chokho pursues this beauty without any idea what she'd do if she caught it.<br />
