=== '''♦ General''' ===

Leon was initially a tribal Keeper of the Moon, until tragic events forced him to become a knight and shed the name Rewo'a Vhaaza. He was trained as a knight since he was 8 years old, leading a life of endless fighting and toil. He cares for those around him very much, to the point of being willing to risk his life for them with no hesitation, the same can be said for killing. Leon is often depressed and feels helpless beneath his veneer of chivalry and normalcy.

Brother to [[Rei'li Niraj]].

=== '''♦ Appearance''' ===

Leon is a regular sized Miqo'te, he has very well defined muscles due to his life of martial training. He also has a white hair with a few black tufts. He often wears armor, even if only a bit of chain beneath his doublet. He has tarnished gold eyes, and has vestigial tribal tattoos on his cheeks, fading as he aged.

=== '''♦ Behaviour''' ===

Leon is often known as brash and reckless, for good reason. Leon often is the first into a fight and the last one out, he fights viciously to protect those dear to him. Outside of combat situations Leon is far more playful, he often jokes at his own, or others expense. He also tends to use honorifics when dealing with people, though he may drop them after he has grown sufficiently close to someone.

Every now and again, when fighting a powerful, or at least challenging opponent Leon may cackle, giving into the adrenaline rush he gets from fighting, while not enough to cloud his judgement entirely, it may render him more brutal and effective.

<big>'''Ghost of The Past:'''</big> A log of past events in Leon's life that were important for him.

Leon earned the slightly infamous title ''The White Wolf of'' during his efforts five years ago in the war against Garlemald. The tale of the White Wolf, sung by a scant few bards who want not for gil, tells tales of his exploits in the battles. The tales also tell of him killing Eorzeans and sacrificing anything, even his fiancée to try and win the war for Eorzea. As the five years passed, the White Wolf of the Black Shroud eventually turned into a cautionary tale of overzealous patriotism and the dangers of enjoying warfare. The tale was also blown out of proportions, portraying the White Wolf as a single man, instead of a unit of highly trained soldiers, and telling accounts of him killing countless Garleans. Any man who was in Carteneau or is well informed will quickly be able to debunk the tale.

<To be expanded>

<big>'''Wandering Blade:'''</big> Leon spent a bit over a year in a nomadic voyage across Eorzea, with the sole purpose of purging those he found evil. The underlying motive was to die in a blaze of glory, he had lost all of his brothers-in-arms during the siege of the fortress he called home. He traveled and fought day-in and day-out, attempting to find an enemy so great that it could give him the death he wanted. But that was not in the cards, as Leon eventually ran into [[Brynhilde Wulf]] in his travels, and she helped him out of a sticky situation. Leon thanked her and moved on, but little did he know that his involvment with her would only increase. He had heard of strange activity in Little Ala Mhigo, and enlisted with a group of skilled individuals to investigate the situation, this group was comprised of Brynhilde and the residents of Cliffperch. After the foray into the Sagolii, they eventually came across the reason for the odd events happening, a cultist was butchering the people around the area. When confronted by Leon, Brynhilde, [[Brave Horizon]], [[Shashato Shato]],[[Arcian Martell]] he summoned an Ahriman that attacked the investigators under the man's bidding. After this Leon was angry and confused, and with that he followed Bryn back to Cliffperch and questioning her about what had happened. Amidst that conversation was when he was discovered to be a Branded, much like the residents of Cliffperch. This gave him a cause worth fighting for, the cause of ruthlessly stamping out the weeds known as the Entudenin.

<big>'''Knight Errant:'''</big> Leon took advantage of his situation, a man with nothing to lose and very skilled at martial combat, and used it to the advantage of the Branded of Cliffperch. He was always the first into the fights if he could help it, always willing to sacrifice body and limb to protect the Branded, who had saved him from his previous death-seeking path. Leon was also a ruthless foe to the Entudenin, killing them without even the slightest bit of remorse, unfettered by the loss of their lives. And then Leon met a foes he couldn't hope to match up against, [[Varus Rosenthal]] the magus who possessed power that was beyond his understanding of combat, Leon never backed down however, and fought Varus on a few occasions. Leon eventually was angered by his helplessness, and his nightmares of Carteneau returned, all of his friends getting killed, if not by the Garleans, by Bahamut. This lit a fire in him, the determination to not let it happen a third time, and with that he left Cliffperch behind in search for the power he would need to protect those he loves and cared for. This would lead into the assault of the fortress he grew up in, the Lunar Ark. There he recovered the few remaining Allagan relics his order had, which he now wields.

[[File:Leon's Left Hand Tattoo|framed|right|Leon's Stormguard tattoo/brand.]]
During this timeframe Leon also joined the Stormguard, by coming across [[Moltove Mon'tova]] and eventually convincing him that the knight was a great combatant searching for a challange. There Leon ran into [[S'ereno Tia]], [[Camille Everardi]], [[Kylin Felstar]], [[Domri Blackblade]], [[Khuja'to Tayuun]], [[Keru Lowry]], and several other members of the Guard. Leon was skeptical of the Guard for several suns, until he finally saw their enemy, and the goal of the Guard. After the revelations that Leon had bore witness to, he decided that he would aid the Stormguard to the best of his abilities. After serving the Guard for around a moon Leon was admitted into their ranks as a Templar of Fortis. Shortly after that he had to leave on his journey to the Lunar Ark.

<big>'''Knight of Light:'''</big> Leon had returned to Cliffperch and Sanctum(The home of the Stormguard) with renewed strength and purpose. His first contact with his allies again was coming back to Cliffperch's lawn a dead man walking. There [[Kyraeth Vale]] nursed him back to health and became his confidant alongside [[X'Septha Dhen]]. After his return Leon spent a lot of time catching up to the new developments to both the Stormguard and the Branded. During this time Leon spent a lot of his time protecting Septha, who he grown fond of, and eventually fell in love with her. This led to a turn of events where he broke a blood oath he made to himself and went through a near-death experience, saved by Septha. His love for her eventually quelled from passion, to simply a need to protect her, even from himself. During this time Leon also adapted to his new set of skills, granted to him by wielding the relics of the Astral Knights of Dalamud. Leon also met an Au Ra , [[Izanami Stormcaller|Izanami "Mayon" Stormcaller]]. Leon saw potential in Mayon to reach, or surpass him. And so, while [[Dartanon Nobis|Draco Nobis]] teaches her, he tests her. Leon is attempting to strenghten her by putting her in situations where her fight or flight instincts kick in and there he measures her power and protects her in case she goes overboard. And then, in the 17th Sun of the Third Umbral Moon he recieved the letter from a benefactor in the Holy See of Ishgard, offering him a position as a dragoon.

==[[File:serpentleft.png|left|]] <div style="padding:10px 15px; background:#2C3539; font-size:20px; color:#ffffff">'''Combat'''</div> ==

Leon is a master at martial combat, due to most of his life revolved around it. His expertise is with swords, but is able to use any weapon with some degree of skill. He is also a journeyman polearm and dagger user.

Leon has lost his spear in recent incidents, and has decided to take up his longsword and claymore out of nessecity.

His combat style is one of unhesitating pressure, attempting to end it as soon as possible before his injuries become too prohibitive, this combat philosophy of his often leads to severe wounds.

Leon has lived through wounds that would surely kill a normal man. Falling fifty feet and landing on a pile of scrap metal, scorched by dragonfire, and marching for two days after being poisoned and with several arrows and spear wounds. These feats attest to his greatest talent, his unyielding tenacity to keep living, so that he will be able to lay his life on the line again.

Leon is also the only survivor of the Astral Knights of Dalamud, this fact means he holds one of the few Astral Rings, which tap into the Allagan Astral Array. This allows him to use powerful spells from the Third Astral Era, but the system has been damaged over the years, leading to the system almost always damaging the user when they use the spells.

{| class="wikitable collapsible"
! Spells:
|-
| Astral Haste: This spell taxes Leon's limbs a good deal, after half an hour of use would render Leon unable to move his limbs. This spell allows Leon to increase his speed even further, moving at speeds that would put him ahead of the vast majority of the denizens of Eorzea.
|-
| Astral Strengthening: This spell is very similar to Astral Haste, only for the purpose of increasing his already high strength to a point where he can evenly match a master pugilist in punching power(power alone, not technique).
|-
| Astral Lance: The Astral Lance is a last resort manuever for Leon, as it requires a good deal of preparation and concentration. The spell has severe backlash, damaging his arm to the point of rendering it immobile for days. The spell has enough raw power to make up for the damage caused to the user though, able to turn most foes into charred carcasses in smoldering craters.
|-
| Astral Teleport: A variant of the basic teleportation spell, a spell devised to make up for his inability to teleport using his own aether. Minor backlash.
|-
| Astral Armoire: Leon can imprint onto his items a rune, allowing him to summon them with only minor burns to his left hand in exchange.
|-
| Astral Barrier: A crafty spell that allows Leon to create a barrier shaped to his desire, the spell isn't so much blocking as it is gravitating the attacks or attackers away, the spell pressurizes his organs.
|-
| Astral Warding: This spell is a constant measure that Leon employs. It serves as a protective shield around his body, bolstering his defensive capabilities, but slowly taxing his body in the process. The Warding can be strenghtened or weakened at will, affecting the amount of damage it deals to his body in the process. Currently Leon is able to passively hold the warding for thirteen hours at minimal power, and two hours at maximum power.
|-
| Astral Blade: A technique much like the Astral Warding, it allows him to increase the range and increase the damage his blade can deal according to his will. This technique is less taxing when only shrouding the blade, but when expanded or manipulate it damages the tissues within his arm and also may set his hand ablaze if used to a great extent.
|}

Leon's body is uncannily resilient to damage, able to sustain life-threatening wounds and keep going. He also has the trait of being able to fully recover from most wounds he suffers. His strength and agility are on par with his endurance and tenacity, he is able to keep up with some wild beasts, and is strong enough to lift a Roegadyn, with a great deal of effort.

{| class="wikitable collapsible"
! Noteworthy Equipment:
|-
| Astral Longsword: Leon's weapon of choice. This sword is close to indestructible by non-aetheric means. This blade also has a hard time losing its edge, but it has happened several times due to extreme and improper use. This blade also serves as a secondary focus to keep Leon's spells from getting too out of hand. It also is able to store aether to a lesser extent.
|-
| Astral Ring: This ring allows Leon to draw white aether and weave powerful, but volatile spells.
|-
| Knight Commander's Curtana(Astral Claymore): '''Classified.'''
|-
| Darkmythrite Armor: A suit of armor that Leon had forged for an exorbitant amount of gil, the armor made of an alloy composed of Darksteel and Mythrite. The armor is very hardy and lightweight, affording Leon both mobility and protection. The armor is also enchanted with several spells and runes to protect the user from magical attacks.
|-
| Springblade: A sword crafted by an old friend of Leon's, the sword itself is roughly as sturdy as a regular tempered steel sword despite its construction, this is thanks to the alloy used in creating the blade.

<div><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="color:#2C3539"><span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 16px">
=== '''♦ General''' ===

Leon was initially a tribal Keeper of the Moon, until tragic events forced him to become a knight and shed the name Rewo'a Vhaaza. He was trained as a knight since he was 8 years old, leading a life of endless fighting and toil. He cares for those around him very much, to the point of being willing to risk his life for them with no hesitation, the same can be said for killing. Leon is often depressed and feels helpless beneath his veneer of chivalry and normalcy.

Brother to [[Rei'li Niraj]].

=== '''♦ Appearance''' ===

Leon is a regular sized Miqo'te, he has very well defined muscles due to his life of martial training. He also has a white hair with a few black tufts. He often wears armor, even if only a bit of chain beneath his doublet. He has tarnished gold eyes, and has vestigial tribal tattoos on his cheeks, fading as he aged.

=== '''♦ Behaviour''' ===

Leon is often known as brash and reckless, for good reason. Leon often is the first into a fight and the last one out, he fights viciously to protect those dear to him. Outside of combat situations Leon is far more playful, he often jokes at his own, or others expense. He also tends to use honorifics when dealing with people, though he may drop them after he has grown sufficiently close to someone.

Every now and again, when fighting a powerful, or at least challenging opponent Leon may cackle, giving into the adrenaline rush he gets from fighting, while not enough to cloud his judgement entirely, it may render him more brutal and effective.

<big>'''Ghost of The Past:'''</big> A log of past events in Leon's life that were important for him.

Leon earned the slightly infamous title ''The White Wolf of'' during his efforts five years ago in the war against Garlemald. The tale of the White Wolf, sung by a scant few bards who want not for gil, tells tales of his exploits in the battles. The tales also tell of him killing Eorzeans and sacrificing anything, even his fiancée to try and win the war for Eorzea. As the five years passed, the White Wolf of the Black Shroud eventually turned into a cautionary tale of overzealous patriotism and the dangers of enjoying warfare. The tale was also blown out of proportions, portraying the White Wolf as a single man, instead of a unit of highly trained soldiers, and telling accounts of him killing countless Garleans. Any man who was in Carteneau or is well informed will quickly be able to debunk the tale.

<To be expanded>

<big>'''Wandering Blade:'''</big> Leon spent a bit over a year in a nomadic voyage across Eorzea, with the sole purpose of purging those he found evil. The underlying motive was to die in a blaze of glory, he had lost all of his brothers-in-arms during the siege of the fortress he called home. He traveled and fought day-in and day-out, attempting to find an enemy so great that it could give him the death he wanted. But that was not in the cards, as Leon eventually ran into [[Brynhilde Wulf]] in his travels, and she helped him out of a sticky situation. Leon thanked her and moved on, but little did he know that his involvment with her would only increase. He had heard of strange activity in Little Ala Mhigo, and enlisted with a group of skilled individuals to investigate the situation, this group was comprised of Brynhilde and the residents of Cliffperch. After the foray into the Sagolii, they eventually came across the reason for the odd events happening, a cultist was butchering the people around the area. When confronted by Leon, Brynhilde, [[Brave Horizon]], [[Shashato Shato]],[[Arcian Martell]] he summoned an Ahriman that attacked the investigators under the man's bidding. After this Leon was angry and confused, and with that he followed Bryn back to Cliffperch and questioning her about what had happened. Amidst that conversation was when he was discovered to be a Branded, much like the residents of Cliffperch. This gave him a cause worth fighting for, the cause of ruthlessly stamping out the weeds known as the Entudenin.

<big>'''Knight Errant:'''</big> Leon took advantage of his situation, a man with nothing to lose and very skilled at martial combat, and used it to the advantage of the Branded of Cliffperch. He was always the first into the fights if he could help it, always willing to sacrifice body and limb to protect the Branded, who had saved him from his previous death-seeking path. Leon was also a ruthless foe to the Entudenin, killing them without even the slightest bit of remorse, unfettered by the loss of their lives. And then Leon met a foes he couldn't hope to match up against, [[Varus Rosenthal]] the magus who possessed power that was beyond his understanding of combat, Leon never backed down however, and fought Varus on a few occasions. Leon eventually was angered by his helplessness, and his nightmares of Carteneau returned, all of his friends getting killed, if not by the Garleans, by Bahamut. This lit a fire in him, the determination to not let it happen a third time, and with that he left Cliffperch behind in search for the power he would need to protect those he loves and cared for. This would lead into the assault of the fortress he grew up in, the Lunar Ark. There he recovered the few remaining Allagan relics his order had, which he now wields.

During this timeframe Leon also joined the Stormguard, by coming across [[Moltove Mon'tova]] and eventually convincing him that the knight was a great combatant searching for a challange. There Leon ran into [[S'ereno Tia]], [[Camille Everardi]], [[Kylin Felstar]], [[Domri Blackblade]], [[Khuja'to Tayuun]], [[Keru Lowry]], and several other members of the Guard. Leon was skeptical of the Guard for several suns, until he finally saw their enemy, and the goal of the Guard. After the revelations that Leon had bore witness to, he decided that he would aid the Stormguard to the best of his abilities. After serving the Guard for around a moon Leon was admitted into their ranks as a Templar of Fortis. Shortly after that he had to leave on his journey to the Lunar Ark.

<big>'''Knight of Light:'''</big> Leon had returned to Cliffperch and Sanctum(The home of the Stormguard) with renewed strength and purpose. His first contact with his allies again was coming back to Cliffperch's lawn a dead man walking. There [[Kyraeth Vale]] nursed him back to health and became his confidant alongside [[X'Septha Dhen]]. After his return Leon spent a lot of time catching up to the new developments to both the Stormguard and the Branded. During this time Leon spent a lot of his time protecting Septha, who he grown fond of, and eventually fell in love with her. This led to a turn of events where he broke a blood oath he made to himself and went through a near-death experience, saved by Septha. His love for her eventually quelled from passion, to simply a need to protect her, even from himself. During this time Leon also adapted to his new set of skills, granted to him by wielding the relics of the Astral Knights of Dalamud. Leon also met an Au Ra , [[Izanami Stormcaller|Izanami "Mayon" Stormcaller]]. Leon saw potential in Mayon to reach, or surpass him. And so, while [[Dartanon Nobis|Draco Nobis]] teaches her, he tests her. Leon is attempting to strenghten her by putting her in situations where her fight or flight instincts kick in and there he measures her power and protects her in case she goes overboard. And then, in the 17th Sun of the Third Umbral Moon he recieved the letter from a benefactor in the Holy See of Ishgard, offering him a position as a dragoon.

==[[File:serpentleft.png|left|]] <div style="padding:10px 15px; background:#2C3539; font-size:20px; color:#ffffff">'''Combat'''</div> ==

Leon is a master at martial combat, due to most of his life revolved around it. His expertise is with swords, but is able to use any weapon with some degree of skill. He is also a journeyman polearm and dagger user.

Leon has lost his spear in recent incidents, and has decided to take up his longsword and claymore out of nessecity.

His combat style is one of unhesitating pressure, attempting to end it as soon as possible before his injuries become too prohibitive, this combat philosophy of his often leads to severe wounds.

Leon has lived through wounds that would surely kill a normal man. Falling fifty feet and landing on a pile of scrap metal, scorched by dragonfire, and marching for two days after being poisoned and with several arrows and spear wounds. These feats attest to his greatest talent, his unyielding tenacity to keep living, so that he will be able to lay his life on the line again.

Leon is also the only survivor of the Astral Knights of Dalamud, this fact means he holds one of the few Astral Rings, which tap into the Allagan Astral Array. This allows him to use powerful spells from the Third Astral Era, but the system has been damaged over the years, leading to the system almost always damaging the user when they use the spells.

{| class="wikitable collapsible"
! Spells:
|-
| Astral Haste: This spell taxes Leon's limbs a good deal, after half an hour of use would render Leon unable to move his limbs. This spell allows Leon to increase his speed even further, moving at speeds that would put him ahead of the vast majority of the denizens of Eorzea.
|-
| Astral Strengthening: This spell is very similar to Astral Haste, only for the purpose of increasing his already high strength to a point where he can evenly match a master pugilist in punching power(power alone, not technique).
|-
| Astral Lance: The Astral Lance is a last resort manuever for Leon, as it requires a good deal of preparation and concentration. The spell has severe backlash, damaging his arm to the point of rendering it immobile for days. The spell has enough raw power to make up for the damage caused to the user though, able to turn most foes into charred carcasses in smoldering craters.
|-
| Astral Teleport: A variant of the basic teleportation spell, a spell devised to make up for his inability to teleport using his own aether. Minor backlash.
|-
| Astral Armoire: Leon can imprint onto his items a rune, allowing him to summon them with only minor burns to his left hand in exchange.
|-
| Astral Barrier: A crafty spell that allows Leon to create a barrier shaped to his desire, the spell isn't so much blocking as it is gravitating the attacks or attackers away, the spell pressurizes his organs.
|-
| Astral Warding: This spell is a constant measure that Leon employs. It serves as a protective shield around his body, bolstering his defensive capabilities, but slowly taxing his body in the process. The Warding can be strenghtened or weakened at will, affecting the amount of damage it deals to his body in the process. Currently Leon is able to passively hold the warding for thirteen hours at minimal power, and two hours at maximum power.
|-
| Astral Blade: A technique much like the Astral Warding, it allows him to increase the range and increase the damage his blade can deal according to his will. This technique is less taxing when only shrouding the blade, but when expanded or manipulate it damages the tissues within his arm and also may set his hand ablaze if used to a great extent.
|}

Leon's body is uncannily resilient to damage, able to sustain life-threatening wounds and keep going. He also has the trait of being able to fully recover from most wounds he suffers. His strength and agility are on par with his endurance and tenacity, he is able to keep up with some wild beasts, and is strong enough to lift a Roegadyn, with a great deal of effort.

{| class="wikitable collapsible"
! Noteworthy Equipment:
|-
| Astral Longsword: Leon's weapon of choice. This sword is close to indestructible by non-aetheric means. This blade also has a hard time losing its edge, but it has happened several times due to extreme and improper use. This blade also serves as a secondary focus to keep Leon's spells from getting too out of hand. It also is able to store aether to a lesser extent.
|-
| Astral Ring: This ring allows Leon to draw white aether and weave powerful, but volatile spells.
|-
| Knight Commander's Curtana(Astral Claymore): '''Classified.'''
|-
| Darkmythrite Armor: A suit of armor that Leon had forged for an exorbitant amount of gil, the armor made of an alloy composed of Darksteel and Mythrite. The armor is very hardy and lightweight, affording Leon both mobility and protection. The armor is also enchanted with several spells and runes to protect the user from magical attacks.
|-
| Springblade: A sword crafted by an old friend of Leon's, the sword itself is roughly as sturdy as a regular tempered steel sword despite its construction, this is thanks to the alloy used in creating the blade.

{{Character-stub}}

==Character==
===General===

===Appearance===

One might argue that the most striking of Graeham's features is his piercing icy blue eyes, complimented rather well by his sun-kissed skin and disheveled dark blonde hair. Some would describe him as classically handsome due to the lad boasting strong facial features, a clean shaven jaw and a nose that is nicely proportioned. His physique has a decent amount of muscle definition and his limbs appear to be well honed yet overall he seems to be better built for feats of agility than brute strength. More often than not he is clad in comfortable attire often associated with those hailing from La Noscea. He is fairly tall for a Midlander, though he is by no means a giant. One could tell at a glance that despite his sharp features he is not yet a fully fledged adult - a correct estimate putting him in his late teens.

===Personality===

The youth appears to be well spoken and polite, rarely allowing his emotions to get the better of him. He seems to prefer to try and find a peaceful resolution to a problem when possible, even when his life is clearly endangered. He seems to be a lot less prone to diplomacy if the lives of his allies are at risk, however. Overall he seems like the trustworthy sort though despite his willingness to aid those who require his aid he often appears reluctant to remain in any given location for any major length of time. Although somewhat guarded at first - especially regarding the subject of his family - he tends to speak passionately about his hobbies, inviting those he comes to trust to sit back and relax as he catches and cooks some fish for them. He also appears to be rather flirtatious around both men and women who pique his interest. He is, however, capable of holding his tongue if he feels such an approach would be unwise.

==Combat==
===General===

Although in favour of trying to reason with his opponents in order to avoid violence, if such an approach is not an option then Graeham is known to make use of sword and shield to strike at his enemies with the intention of gradually wearing them down or putting and end to whatever threat they present. He is by no means a legendary combatant but it would not be unfair to claim that he can hold his own in a fight if provoked.

==Tendencies==
===Likes===
::* He has a fondness for seafood, especially fish.
::* History fascinates him, especially if it involves ancient ruins or tales of past triumphs over vicious beasts.
::* Individuals with a friendly disposition and good manners seem to be something Graeham appreciates deeply.
::* Beaches, particularly the stretch near Costa del Sol.
::* Loyalty. It's a trait he deeply admires in a friend or ally.

===Dislikes===
::* Alcohol, primarily due to the negative effects it has on many people.
::* Dishonest, aggressive and cowardly individuals.
::* Being treated like a child.
::* Cold weather.

===Hobbies/Talents===
::* He's a keen fisherman and is often eager to indulge in a spot of fishing during his travels.
::* Graeham's physique lends itself to athletic pursuits. He's a swift and effective runner, swimmer and climber.
::* He has taken to wielding a sword and shield in recent months.
::* He can be fairly diplomatic when required, sometimes acting as the voice of reason to cool tensions between others.

===Other===
::*
::*
::*

==Relationships==
===Family===

Graeham's lips are sealed when it comes to the subject of his family. He tends to become increasingly evasive if people try to pry into the matter. Those who earn his trust, however, may learn that he has Garlean blood within his veins.

===Friends===

===Enemies===

==Rumors==
===Common Rumors===
::* "He does a lot of odd jobs to fund his travels. It always seems like honest work too."
::* "I used to see him working as a waiter in the Bismarck back in Limsa from time to time."
::* "The man isn't shy when it comes to making use of that silver tongue of his. I'm sure it gets him into trouble from time to time though..."

===Moderate Rumors===
::* "He has a good heart but he can be pretty naive. I fear many will take advantage of that."
::* "I've never seen him lose his temper though if one pushes the wrong buttons he grows cold and distant."
::* "He seems to avoid making use of an aetheryte whenever possible. I saw the poor lad throw up his lunch the last time he tried using one."
::* "I've seen him wearing a full suit of armour! Does he fancy himself a knight now?"

===Rare Rumors===
::* "Apparently there's some Garleans trying to track him down. Oddly enough they want him alive and unharmed."
::* "Every few months he heads out to that graveyard near Wineport to place a bouquet of flowers atop one of the graves."
::* "He's Garlean! Well, his mother was - his father wasn't. I don't trust him one bit - tainted blood is tainted blood."
::* "There's a darker, more cynical side to him beneath all his charm. Be cautious."
::* "He's much better at using that blade of his than he'd let you believe. Don't be fooled - it's a trick to get you to underestimate him!"

===PC Rumors===
::* "An enigmatic man and former friend. I was never able to delve into his mysteries satisfactorily. He seems pleased not to be the center of attention and is skilled at remaining unnoticed. But do take notice, look under the surface, even if he insists that there is nothing hidden there. Maybe you will find it. I never have." - [[Lilia Lia]]
::* "I'm not the type to be swayed by idealists, but his spirit is contagious, especially since it's accompanied by intelligence many seem to lack. It's nice to see his heart and optimism haven't been spoiled by the fools he had to suffer for so long." -[[Sasha Rochester]]
::* "The hyur with the blond hair who used to live here at the Mizzenmast down the hall from me... I wonder where he went? His armor was so beautiful, and I could smell the fresh fish he would bring home all the way from my room." — [[M'isha Runja]]
::* ""Although he may harbour the blood of Garlemald within him, let it be known that there is no doubt as to Ser Ridgefield's intentions, nor as to his honour. His single-minded commitment to brokering peace between Eorzea and Garlemald is testament to this." - [[Keiten Hagane]]
::* ""A kind young knight, who took it upon himself to aid my tribe in fending off aggressors who wanted its territory, and who give miqo'te foods." - [[J'rakh Tia]]
::* ""Easygoin' fella. Smiles a lot, pleasant to do business wit'. Got a feelin' he's got gil pourin' outta his arse. Don't seem fake an' fluffed up like the other diplomatic types, though. I respect that." - [[Berrod Armstrong]]
::* "Good man that one, Graeham has the making of a knight, and is decent enough with the blade. I hope he never bites it, the realm needs good men like him, especially right now." -[[Leon Greymoon]]

==History/Timeline==

Details surrounding Graeham's early life are scarce, though it is known that he arrived in Limsa Lominsa two years after Dalamud fell. He began renting a room at one of Limsa's many inns before securing himself a small apartment near the docks. Feeling the urge to wander he travelled to Gridania and offered his aid to the Harbingers of Dawn. He served their cause for a good few months before returning to the road. More recently he has made his way to Coerthas seeking to strengthen relations between the Ishgardians and the rest of Eorzea.

Persistent rumours have also surfaced claiming that he put an end to a dispute over territory between a small band of miqo'te and settlers within La Noscea. Despite hostility on both sides he managed to secure a peaceful arrangement that prevented any bloodshed. This has been suggested as being the reason as to why he has been allowed to act as a diplomat despite his youth.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Appearance & Personality</div>===
: Rei'li upholds the reserved, polite, soft spoken demeanor one could expect of a Keeper male. He seems to usually be attentive of his surroundings, and speaks with glances and body language before offering a word.

: Which isn't to say he's shy. He likes living it up and has a propensity to take risks he knows he can get away with. Beneath the veil of reserved composure he's quite the charmer, especially having had a drink or two. Given time to warm up to someone, he might start to toss about (questionably?) witty comebacks and engage in casual banter. If he really enjoys someone's company he might subconsciously reach to right a crooked collar or a misplaced strand of hair. He's not excessively reserved with physical affections, but getting him to actually open up emotionally is a bit of a task.

: He's very warm to and protective of anyone younger than him, subconsciously projecting a reassuring, caring nature he usually keeps under wraps among adults or people of authority.

: On the battlefield, he's far from reserved. He seems to burn with determination when he's got his lance in hand, seeing only the enemy in front of him. It makes for a bit of a reckless fighting style and he does get his hind end handed to him from time to time, though nothing he couldn't walk away from. He loves a good challenge, but he's not too proud to admit when he's overpowered. It's all about survival.

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

====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Childhood</div>====

:Rei'li was the third son born to a former marauder adventurer mother ([[Rei Niraj]]) as the 6th child out of seven. She had been a bit on the stern side, especially towards her three sons, always emphasizing how critical it was for them to favor survival and be cautious and healthy, preparing them for their clan-to-clan breeding travels. She encouraged all three of them to pursue conjurer studies and trained them in combat arts along with their sisters. Back then, Rei'li would think it unfair and boring, and would often envy his sisters who had more free time.

:He never met his father, a nomadic conjurer Keeper of the Moon miqo'te called [[Sonu'a Zhirsaq]], though he was told he resembles him the most out of his five biological siblings, his second brother included.

====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Conjury Studies and Ilja</div>====

:As an adolescent, Rei'li was not the most obedient child in the family, which would remain the case for years to come. He quickly learned though, that if he remained quiet about his mishaps, and was careful, his mother had no ground to scold him. He wasn't the best conjurer in his settlement, but he never tried to be either, he preferred to do the bare minimum to advance just to not get into trouble.

:He further strayed from his interest in conjurer studies when his tribe reluctantly hosted a badly injured hyur lancer called [[Ilja Radall]]. Rei'li volunteered to help the man recover and was readily granted the duty. Both his teacher and mother were overjoyed at his initiative and saw it as an excellent opportunity for the young Keeper to learn about the responsibility and role of his studies. Unfortunately, that was far from the case. While recovering, Ilja would tell Rei'li of his adventures, of the far north where lancers ascended to dance with fate and become Dragoons. Fascinated both with the adventurer and the stories, Rei'li decided to follow Ilja when the other was fully recovered. His attempt was cut short though; the lancer talked him out of it, making him promise to do as his family wished until he reached adulthood and telling him to look for him in Coerthas someday, giving him a golden locket to return to him then.

:Bound by the promise, Rei'li stayed until his coming of age. Much to his mother's dismay though, he barely fulfilled a year and a half of his nomadic ventures before he promptly packed his things and left for Gridania, headed for the lancers' guild to follow in Ilja's footsteps.

====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Lancer to Dragoon</div>====

: Arrived in Gridania and enlisted in the lancers' guild, he slowly learned to assimilate the difference of pace and blend in among the variety of races and cultures in the city. He had a good eye for keeping out of trouble and his reserved nature often allowed him to go unnoticed. He had always been told to be wary of other races, or even other male miqo'te - but in the city such encounters were next to impossible to avoid. Instead, he learned to charm his way out of them, mostly coming up on top.

:His lancer training was a bit of a curve-ball. The first steps were a testing experience, especially considering he'd never really undertaken training that severe back home. It displeased him that the Lancers' guild master refused to speak to him about becoming a [[Dragoon]] right away, but even he had to admit he didn't think he was ready to take that route just yet. Sore and aching he dragged himself to training each day. His afternoons would entail working odd jobs at the market, while his evenings were spent in a quiet corner at the inn, or the benches outside if the weather permitted it. Sometimes in the company of a visiting adventurer. During his training he befriended an elezen called [[Madensa Virri'ai]], often getting them both into trouble.

:He would occasionally write home, but the responses would often hold an urge to leave his training and tend to his racial duties instead, which, again, mostly dissuaded him from abiding and instead train harder. He also remained friendly, but a bit more reserved in company of other miqo'te women, subconsciously.

:After proving a quite reliable helping hand during the Calamity, he was given the approval to travel to [[Coerthas]]. The weather, however, proved as chill a greeting as the answers to his questions about Ilja; the lancer had indeed reached the [[Observatorium of Aetherial and Astrological Phenomena]] and [[Camp Dragonhead]], but he hadn't been as ready as he thought - and suffered the repercussions. Lost and unsure for the first time in his life, Rei'li was presented with the choice to either go back to is family and live a secure and relatively peaceful life, or take on the mantle he was training so hard to earn, living on the edge. He chose the latter.

:Two years of training in Coerthas did sharpen his skills slowly but surely over time, though he started missing the warmer Gridanian nights. Finally coming to terms with his situation, he resolved to return to [[Black Shroud]] and indulge himself a bit. He found himself quite at home in the [[Order of the Twin Adder]] ranks.

====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Present</div>====

:Operating as a [[Order of the Twin Adder]] operative proved to be an effective source of income. He climbed through ranks steadily often paired with other operatives. One such operative was [[Vilhem Dijkstra]], an older miqo'te Keeper of the Moon. What seemed to have started as lighthearted flirting turned into a slightly unconventional, but heartfelt relationship over time. Despite the age gap of 25 years Rei'li was eventually accepted by Vilhem's family and is currently living with them and helping provide for them through the Grand Company, often paired with Vilhem.

====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Aeon</div>====

:After a recent unexpected assault in Thanalan, Rei'li was backed up by a woman called [[Sophia Grave]]. Having killed two out of the three assaulters, the two fled to safety where she explained the reason of their pursuit on the miqo'te and his possible connection to a Free Company called [[Aeon]]. After taking quite some time to rethink his position and discussing it in vague terms with Vilhem, Rei'li ultimately decided to approach the Free Company, officially enlisting in its ranks.

:Among the operatives, Rei'li was reacquainted with his half-brother [[Leon Greymoon]] (Rewo'a Vhaaza). Though from different mothers, the two seem to have quite a variety of things in common, from physical features to their profession choice and, of course the circumstances regarding the Free Company. Whether that's a coincidence or not remains to be seen.

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

:He wears a golden locket engraved with [[Nymeia, the Spinner]]'s symbol, that Ilja left in his care.

:He recently acquired what appears to be a [https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/eb/71/f6/eb71f6a0bd23d2f7d71fa317091d16fc.jpg rune-like tattoo] at the back of his neck, though it's often obstructed from view by the fall of his hair, jacket collar and strategically tied scarf.

: <font style="color:#F02311;" size="3">♥</font> [[Ilja Radall]] : ''Hyur, Midlander, male, 27, Dragoon - deceased.'' An adventurer Rei'li volunteered to care for when his family clan found him injured in the woods. He was an inspiration for the young miqo'te to become a lancer, and later Dragoon. Though reluctant to admit it at present, the Keeper did grow to nourish feelings of affection for the other. Whether they were returned or not, he's left to wonder.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Nemoh Nodaya]] : ''Miqo'te, Keeper of the Moon, female, 19, Conjurer.'' His younger sister. She's very lively and quite loud, so he tends to slip into the older brother role when around her.

The Elezen's mellow nature complimented the miqo'te's more trouble-making tendencies quite well. The two lost contact after Rei'li's departure for Coerthas, though.

As a result, seeing Rei'li having succeeded in his career as a Lancer and even ascending to Dragoon seems to be a sore point, along with his father taking Rei'li as a mate. The two butt heads on a regular basis, but Rei'li feels compelled to take care of Adam regardless, viewing him as family.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Sophia Grave]] : ''Hyur, Garlean, female, 27, ?.'' A swift fighter that came to his aid when he was cornered, and who helped him find a couple of answers on the matter. He believes himself in her debt.

(Lovely art by random-historia.tumblr.com! They are cool and you should check them out.)
==Character==
===General===
Where ever he may be, Devereau Florentin Beauregard is a man who is seldomly defined by his surroundings. Enshrouded in eccentricities and decadence, it seems he has little regard for the standards of any given nation. Not one to mask his passions and fervour, he often warrants a few curious (or confused) stares. Even so, he carries himself with a dignified air, tranquil and observant in nature. Upon approaching him, many find he has little qualms with shedding this calm demeanour for flamboyant pomp and circumstance in response to casual social interaction. Regardless of the man's modus operandi, most would agree that his actions are generally lofty and kindhearted, and a reliable source of entertainment in the destinations of his wandering.

For anyone who manages to wade through his flowery drivel and poetic speech long enough to force him to provide some personal information, he may be known as an artisan. The precise sort of artisan seems to be unclear; the most common responses being that he is skilled as a carpenter or as an alchemist. The one absolute is that the man has a distinct passion for creating weapons, artful implements of war. Though he much insists that he is of a pacifistic nature, willing to use words over steel, he takes his profession very seriously. His love for creating tools of equal parts practical useability and artistic definition is unparalleled. Most inquiries for work seem to be rejected, as if he holds more care for works of passion over source of income. As such, most everyone who bears one of his armaments has compelled his inspiration with a tale of which he chooses to imbue into his artistic creations.

As overbearing as the man may be in appearance and speech, one thing is for certain: he is much more concerned of his company than himself. Most find themselves hard pressed to extract specific information from the man. Even when questioned of his (painfully apparent) heritage, he will often reply that is home is but where Oschon wills. Stalwart insistence, perplexing limericks and an unnerving smile seem to dissuade most from pressing such topics.

===Appearance===
A painfully vain man, he often has a well kept, neat appearance, though no less outlandish. He bears voluminous lavender tresses that reach slightly beyond his shoulders, accented with rolanberry hued highlights to coincide with the ear adornments he is so fond of. Great care is taken into maintaining this artificial colour and "messy" look. Extremely defensive over the specific hue, he does not hesitate to correct those who would label the shade of violet incorrectly.

A heavy amount of cosmetics are worn each and every day, sharing complimentary shades of violet in a sweeping curtain upon his eyes and coated upon his lips. Concealer and blush is applied to further accentuate his prominent, sharp facial structure. Though he is gaunt and showing degrees of age in the form of severe dark circles beneath his eyes, he is of the mind that it in fact lends to his dramatic presentation, as opposed to hindering it. As the scar upon his right cheek is exceedingly deep and pronounced despite its age, he does not bother to mask it. He is, however, not partial to attention being brought to it.

His overall form is long and lithe, bones protruding upon his slender frame. Upon inspection, it would seem he has relatively well formed musculature, but this may be mostly as a result of his sheer lack of weight. The tone of his skin is extremely fair and pallid, devoid of notable blemishes or hair.

These details are usually not clear, as he usually found in vast bounties of rich fabric, favouring regal, high saturated colour and elaborate designs. There is a distinct androgyny to his clothing style, occasionally sporting skirts and revealing clothing. When pressed on the topic of style or corresponding orientation, he is very insistent that beauty transcends gender. One tying factor between all of his clothing choices is their sheer extravagance, despite the climate or occasion.

His stance and gait are no exception. Extremely expressive, it almost seems as if he is driven by a melody only he can hear, dedicated to a graceful performance. Often half-lidded eyes and swaying movements make him appear almost hypnotized, lost in a dream world of his own creation. A melodic, tenor voice lends to his narration, flighty notes and tones giving life to his poetic utterances.

Most would just beg he take things seriously for once.

===Personality===
Benevolent by nature, he is a gentle, kind hearted man. Though he gravitates toward solitude, he is by no means unable to socialize. He favours more intimate interactions, as he tends to pay a great deal of mind to all whose company he chooses to keep, ensuring all are seen as equals. His modest and unbiased nature in approaching new faces is made all the more outlandish, in stark contrast to his appearance.

Often times he becomes rather carried away with the idea of love and beauty, and comes off as extremely flirtatious. In reality, he finds all sorts of discovery to be exhilarating, approaching people and work alike with the same overbearing enthusiasm. As a result of being so preoccupied with everything around him, he tends to neglect himself. A high possibility as to why he remains so gaunt.

In the same chord, his compassion tends to be quite sincere, and as such, holding a great deal of close intimate relationships tends to be incredibly taxing upon him. As he wished not to harm or hurt others unwarranted, becoming overwhelmed is a large threat. Instances of him seeming to vanish even from those he holds dear for unannounced, lengthy periods of time are not unheard of.

When he speaks, he speaks with every part of his body. His eyes reflect his true emotions, as expressive as his lips prove to be. A pantomime of hand gestures and a mirroring posture tend to follow suit. Even in the most trivial matters, he chooses to act with passion and desire.

Though he is an entirely emotional and expressive individual, it is exceedingly difficult to spurn him to anger. It seems only a few very specific triggers will spark this sort of reaction, very few able to attest to the way he handles himself in just such a situation.

Snarky retorts are a completely different story, of course.

==Combat==
===General===
A pacifist by nature, he vastly prefers the pen to the sword. His understanding of combat and various styles thereof is rather extensive however, predominantly as a result of many years creating weaponry. Though not often demonstrated, he has a relatively solid grasp on how to utilize most every style of weapon he works to create, at least from a fundamental standpoint. This knowledge is typically used more often as a defensive mechanism, allowing him to focus upon evasion...when not avoiding combat completely.

Unknown to most all, he is extremely adept with the usage of daggers and various toxins. Preferring to hold the mind of a strategist, he believes that efficiency and minimalistic approach are best taken, should confrontation need occur. This, paired with the allure of intimacy, finds him quite taken with this particular style.
As stated, most would be none the wiser to this particular talent, as blade is only brandished in extreme scenarios.

'''Arienne Beauregard (Mother, deceased) -''' A rather demure woman, she often remained soft spoken and simplistic in her purpose and conversation. However, for those would hear her, she bore wise thought and kind succor. A very pacifistic woman, she spent most of her life dedicated to caring for those injured in servitude to their nation. She was well learned in the arts of alchemy, drawn to the healing aspects that may be offered through natural remedies. She treated all flowers and plants she need use with the same reverence as she did every other living being. As a result, she tended an expansive garden, sown with an assortment of seeds from the reagents she utilized. Much of Devereau's kind hearted tendencies came from the love and teachings bestowed upon him from his mother.

'''Florentin Beauregard (Father, deceased) -''' Florentin was a joyous, extravagant man, full of passion and duty. Though he did not serve as a knight, he dedicated himself to Ishgard through slaving upon necessary provisions needed to allow their ranks strength. Both a skilled carpenter and blacksmith, he would spend much of his time crafting lance and blade for his nation. Though he was filled with much enthusiasm, he did not offer much time into empathy. Instead, he favoured respect, always urging to find value in the views of others, for most conflict could be avoided through understanding. However, he saw the merit to raising steel in defence, as one could not expect all to see with reason. In honour of the respect and duty his father taught him, he continued to carry on his craft, albeit in his own unique manner.

Flickering Ember

'''Flickering Ember''' is a blind roegadyn hailing from Eastern Thanalan. The girl has accomplished the seemingly impossible by growing up in solitude within the arid region. She is a feral child who has been partially assimilated into society over the course of several years. When she was first discovered in the wilds of Thanalan shortly after the Calamity, she was essentially mute with the exception of a few toddler-like words. Though with often animal-like mannerisms and a lack of understanding towards society and culture, Ember keeps home in The Goblet along with her free company, Aeon.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #C94C33;font-size:14px;color:#120A07;">Physical Description</div>===
Despite her youth, Ember's height matches many of the tallest roegadyns. It is easily her most apparent feature as she towers over most people, including many roegadyns. Her next most recognizable features are her ashy dark skin, fiery red hair, distinctive facial markings, and her odd eyes. Ashy dark skin contrasts with her bright red-orange fiery hair, creating the look of a young woman who encompasses the spirit of the very volcanoes her clan hails from. Her body is marked by several scars she has obtained from her rugged lifestyle. None of these are grisly battle scars, but rather small, faint, and faded ones that are too difficult to notice without staring. Aside from her scars, she has two more noticeable markings elsewhere on her body. The more obvious one is the claw like marking that spreads from one end of her face to another. It appears to be permanently graphed into her skin. The other is runic symbol on her left upper back, just over where her heart is. It is clearly of a magical nature with its glowing chill blue and intricate design.

Aside from height, Ember lives up to another of her race's features with her muscular build. A lifestyle of hunting and surviving with no one to depend on but herself has kept her physically strong. However, she is not as well chiseled as an experienced, fully grown roegadyn warrior. Ember's weight can fluctuate as well depending on her current living situations. Much of the time her friends and family provide her with food, something on which Ember indulges on without limit. This helps her put on some much needed fat. Overall, she is a muscular, physically strong girl who could still use some toughening up to reach her full potential.

Ember's eyes are another item of note. The young woman is blind though she is without cataracts or any noticeable injury to the eyes. They are normal and healthy. Clues of her condition can be gathered from how she looks at her environments around her. She does not make eye contact wit objects or people nor do her pupils shift much. Often times this can result in her appearing to stare at something or someone endlessly.

Her voice is on the husky side but lightened by Ember's typical inquisitive, enthusiastic, and generally happy demeanor.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #C94C33;font-size:14px;color:#120A07;">Personality</div>===

Ember is a person of extremes. She is either quiet and mistrusting, hostile and aggressive, or sweet and affectionate. In new situations or around those she does not know, she can be reserved and suspicious. However, her trust can be easily won by gift-giving, aiding her when she is in need, or providing her with affection. If Ember feels threatened for whatever reason, even if the gesture is relatively mundane or harmless, she will lash out. She is very protective of things she claims as her own and this can extend past just items of value. Most importantly, Ember loves and desires attention. She longs for the approval of others and places extreme importance in impressing others that she has a strong opinion of.

She is curious of almost everything and enjoys actively interacting with people and/or items. Even the smallest things in life can bring her great joy. She can also be stubborn at times, choosing when or when she will not listen to others. However, the more she sees an individual as a superior, the more she will be willing to listen to them. Her solitude can lead her to be insensitive but the well-being of others is a top concern for her. Above all, she is affectionate and seeks happiness through others.

Apart from this, Ember acts on instinct and irrational thought to guide her in decision-making, a product of her upbringing. Often times she is more of a do-er than a thinker. Because of her upbringing, she hasn’t had the advantage of education but more importantly, she hasn’t been mentally stimulated the same way others who have grown up around people have. She did not learn to speak until very late in her life, troubling for her mental development. She is overall not as intelligent as many others for this reason, although she holds no mental conditions. More times than not, though, she is simply ignorant and can make up for her lack of knowledge with cleverness, should the situation call for it.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #C94C33;font-size:14px;color:#120A07;">Background</div>===

It is unknown where Ember came from, who her parents are, or when she was born. It is a mystery even to herself. The first sightings and rumors of a wild child, little more than a beast, began passing around in some settlements of Thanalan over a decade ago. The villagers spoke of a young girl who looked and acted like an animal. These early accounts always spoke of her from a distance and described her more as a fairytale or an urban legend than a real child in need of help.

Ember cannot recall a time where the desert was not her home. Parents, friends, social norms, entertainment, man-made amenities, language – all these were not only foreign to her but completely unknown until a short while ago. The majority of her life has been spent roaming and living off the land on her lonesome. Above all else, the need for survival ruled the entirety of her life. Life in the desert is a hard one.

She often took up residence in abandoned buildings or in other similar shelters around Eastern Thanalan. Her lifestyle was nomadic, often traveling to all other areas of Thanalan, except for the north. However, she would always end up returning to the Eastern Thanalan at the end of these journeys.

In this way, her concerns were for food, water, shelter, and safety. Wherever food and water was plentiful would dictate what region of Thanalan she would migrate to. Shelter was necessary to evade the sometimes too overbearing heat. Safety was not only to refrain being killed by other more dangerous creatures, but to overpower them when possible for a required meal. Fun and entertainment was rarely a factor in her life.

As she grew, personal accounts of her in the various villages increased. She grew bolder and became willing to rob farms of their produce and livestock. Still, she remained elusive to capture.

It wasn't until the Calamity occurred that everything changed. The catastrophic event killed a startling number of people and forever changed the landscape of the world. It affected those living in the wilderness just as it had those who dwelled in cities. The result was an injured Ember, badly in need of treatment.

Shortly after the Calamity, search parties person out to retrieve the injured and the dead across the region of Thanalan. It was during this search that a search party from Ul'dah came across Ember. At the time, she was too weak to resist capture and was taken back to the city.

There, she was placed in the care of Menphina's Joy Orphanage. Shortly after her admittance, the orphanage became full and was unable to accept any more children orphaned by the Calamity.

Ember's presence caused quite a stir right from the get-go. After a few days of care, she became conscious enough to turn violent on her saviors. She had never known human interaction and so she turned on them, biting them and scratching them viciously like an animal. She had no restraint which increased the dangers of such a crude method of attack.

[[File:Ember graphite 2.png|200px|thumb|right| A sketch of Ember sent out by Menphina's Joy Orphanage]]

The orphanage endured Ember's uncontrollable and volatile behavior for a long period of time before discussions of casting her out from the orphanage took place. The girl had been unresponsive to kindness and showed no signs of improving her violent behavior. Furthermore, the girl had no education or skills. She could not talk. It was required to restrain her to perform simple tasks such as bathing her, treating her injuries, or getting her to participate in other hygienic care.

It was the emergence of a roegadyn named, Burning Mountain that changed everything. The roegadyn prevented the the girl from being cast out and took her into his own care as a foster father. The man worked long and hard to try and assimilate Ember into social society. It was a long and slow process but one that ended up proving success. Ember began to learn language skills and basic social behavior. She could communicate with other humans without attacking them. She learned 'Hello' , 'Please' , 'Thank you' , and 'Goodbye.'

However, over time Burning Mountain took notice to how Ember pined for her old life back in the wilderness of Thanalan. She had long since recovered and have learned a great deal in that time. Still, she had much to learn, but he would not keep her from her own life. He agreed to release her back into the wild, though they would still occasionally meet to brush up on Ember's language skills.

:<font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font>[[Jericho Lapointe]] : Ember met Jericho at a time of turmoil in his life. In their first meeting, Jericho could not control his magical powers and was unleashing a series of dangerous spells. Ember was able to diffuse him by simply taking his hand and holding it. Ever since then, the two have shared a close bond that has taken a romantic turn. Jericho needs Ember for her positivity and smiles and Ember needs hims for his grounded and supportive nature.

:<font style="color:#F0F078;" size="3">♥</font>[[Brynhilde Wulf]] : At the time Ember met Brynhilde, she was still living on her own in the desert. Brynhilde triggered a chain of events that lead to Ember gradually connecting to other people more and more. It is thanks to the older woman that Ember has been able to find love, family, and friends. She not only sees Brynhilde as her mother but she also sees her as a rolemodel. Because of this, Ember both seeks comfort from Brynhilde as well as a need to impress her. Additionally, in terms of authority, Ember views Brynhilde's word as stone.

:<font style="color:#F0F078;" size="3">♥</font>[[Faolan Woodlock]] : A young man whom she shares quite a few similarities with. Both grew up in the silence of the wilderness, caring for themselves in harsh regions--him in snowy lands and Ember in the arid regions of Thanalan. They share a wanting for others that can feel far away or awkward due to their upbringing in solitude. Because of this, Ember takes a refuge in Faolan's presence where they have an unspoken bond. Although the woodsman often has trouble with being touched, Ember often holds his hand whenever she can.

:<font style="color:#F0F078;" size="3">♥</font>[[Sophia Grave]] : In many ways, Sophia and Ember are vastly different from each other. Sophia has proven a trustworthy ally and companion to Ember. Her very presence brings her great comfort and delight. Sophia is both knowledgeable and a strong opponent--two traits that Ember holds in high regard. In short, Sophia has always been there for her which has made Sophia's recent decisions all the more painful for the young roegadyn who loves and looks up to her like a sister. Recent events have pitted Sophia against the rest of her family--something that has broken Ember's heart.

:<font style="color:#F0F078;" size="3">♥</font>[[Tiergan Vashir]] : Tiergan is like a vastly older brother to Ember. Where she views Zaius as fun, Tiergan is regarded as the more 'parent-like' one in his willingness to scold her. She only sometimes listens to him but recognizes that Tiergan has experience and wisdom that is often invaluable. Perhaps one could question the extent of wisdom a man who has spent much of his life fighting in the arenas could impart. However, it is precisely because of Tiergan's physical aptitude that leads her to such beliefs. With him as a companion to help guide her through several traumatic events, she holds him in high regard. Even if Tiergan can be a bit of a grump, having him around is always a celebration for Ember.

:<font style="color:#F0F078;" size="3">♥</font>[[Zaius Rhal'seer]] : Like Tiergan, Ember views Zaius as a vastly older brother. However, their relationship dynamic differs dramatically. Where Ember thinks Tiergan as stern, Zaius is fun-loving. Long stretches of absence and their brief meetings only serve to heighten her value of him. She has a more affectionate bond with Tiergan but Zaius is the cool older brother whom Ember admires strongly. Intrigued and amazed by his stories of power, Ember holds an immense respect for him by his sheer strength alone. His power, cleverness, dominance, and knowledge make her view him as an ideal rolemodel, alongside Brynhilde. In short, she wants to grow up to be him.

:<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">♥</font>[[Caen Jabari]] : Caen is an upbeat teenaged miqo'te, very recently turned adult. Like Leilani, she sees him as an equal of sorts. Ember likes Caen's positive presence that could dissipate any frown. Despite his positivity, Ember knows it is housed by an inner sadness. She was there when the amnesiac magically received his memories back--of which she has been unable to forget the tragic death of his mother. Ember feels for Caen's loneliness but he always excels in making ::her:: never feel alone. She appreciates how willing he is to touch her and let her touch him. Caen has often forgotten that Ember is blind, to which Ember also fails to realize he does not know due to his willingness to guide her by the hand. She often questions some of his logic, finding some of his reasonings on certain concepts to be strange.

:<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">♥</font>[[Ja'ren A'lenthin]] : Ja'ren came into Ember's life around the time she took residence up in the Goblet. Even when they had first met, they held an amicable relationship. Her opinion of him grew the more she got to know him. The Miqo'te youth has a special type of vision that Ember found fascinating. When they lived together it was common for Ja'ren to make gifts with his crafting skills as well as provide meals for the household. Their relationship grew into one that is akin to that of siblings, with both of them looking out for one another. Ember enjoys pestering him while Ja'ren tolerates it. Recent happenings have hurt her feelings towards him. Even so, he remains dear to her.

:<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">♥</font>[[Leilani Leilai]] : Leilani is a teenaged lalafell girl whom Ember thinks of as an equal, perhaps not in combat, but in her handling of the world. Leilani is chipper and enthusiastic. She is a practitioner of the arts: music, dancing, pies. ( Ember especially likes the pies.) When Ember is with Leilani, she always feels welcome.

:<font style="color:#679AE7;" size="3">♥</font>[[Avenio Naemig]] : First met on a mission to recover a village's missing children, Ember didn't really start to form an opinion of him until they teamed up to rescue [[Faolan Woodlock]] from mysterious monsters. The highlander may not speak much, but he carries his character through his deeds. Avenio aided Ember during some of her most vulnerable points of their most recent mission together. Though she has witnessed a scary side of him, Avenio managed to reassure her.
:<font style="color:#679AE7;" size="3">♥</font>[[Bertrand Irons]]: "Irons" to Ember. Bertrand is a capable, knowledgeable, and dedicated doctor with a warm and friendly demeanor. Bertrand has cared for several of Ember's injuries, a kindness that she is not likely to forget. Without even knowing her, he took a genuine interest in helping her. On top of this, Bertrand helps to boost Ember's confidence by assuring her that her blindness is a strength, not a weakness. He has taken to reading storybooks to her.

:<font style="color:#679AE7;" size="3">♥</font>[[Brave Horizon]] : A fellow roegadyn Hellsguard who has been cut off from society up until recently. This is a history that she shared with Ember, although for differing reasons. Brave is a comforting presence for Ember and perhaps vice versa. Ember views Brave as an equal and therefore someone that she feels she can confide in.

:<font style="color:#679AE7;" size="3">♥</font>[[Chachanji Gegenji]] : For a brief period, Ember had become her old feral self for unknown reasons. Since her transitioning back to normal, Ember remembers the care he had placed in her. His presence is calming and memories of him combing her hair provide a somewhat instinctual interest in his hair. He has a kind and friendly nature that Ember feels she can confide in and look to for aid.

:<font style="color:#679AE7;" size="3">♥</font>[[Daghbheri Himalspyr]] : Or simply "Dog" to Ember. The two first befriended over him gifting a meal to her. Since then, Dogberry has become an adult friend to her. She appreciates his kind, casual, and laidback nature. She finds him to be approachable with interesting topics to discuss.

:<font style="color:#679AE7;" size="3">♥</font>[[Memeli Meli]] : First met at Memeli's own girls' only slumber party, Ember has since then found a friend in the pink lalafell. Memeli is loud, playful, and most of all FUN. It is quite easy to be entertained when she is around. Memeli is also noticeably caring towards her friends. Ember adores it whenever the young woman addresses or acknowledges her. She is convinced that Memeli has sprouted bunny ears due to how consistently they are worn.

:<font style="color:#679AE7;" size="3">♥</font>[[Staelufre Lysmerl]] : Staelufre is a person who often steals much of Ember's interest. The miqo'te woman has some kind of connection to magic that Ember has never known, she tells the most amazing, fun, and informative stories, knows the roegadyn language, and she is often getting into trouble. She is fascinated by every word Staelufre speaks. Ember also sees Staelufre as a person that respects and regards her as an equal, despite Ember viewing her as having superior knowledge of the world.

:<font style="color:#;" size="3">♥</font>[[Virara Wakuwa]] : Virara had also met Ember in her feral state, though she scarcely remembers Virara's presence from that time period. She does, however, remember her and is intrigued by her. They share similarities, both being feral children. They also share a love of food. Ember often misunderstands her customs, especially anything that relates back to Virara's Master. However, Ember greatly respects her fighter's spirit.

:<font style="color:#E6D5D5;" size="3">♥</font>[[Jancis Milburga]] : Ember has had a few meetings with Jancis. Jancis is always polite and kind to Ember. She constantly interprets Jancis' manner of speaking as a sign of the woman holding an unspoken respect and/or affection towards Ember. She is unsure how Jancis knows her but she goes along with it instead of letting it bother her.

:<font style="color:#E6D5D5;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#BEC3BC;" size="3">●</font> [[Teld're Eska'aldren]] : Teld're is an enigma to Ember. She often forgets how she met him or how he knows her. In his mysterious nature, Ember is curious of the extent of his knowledge and power, speculating that he must have a hidden depth of strength that she has not yet witnessed. She is slightly wary of him but has taken a liking to him due him being amiable towards her on a consistent basis. His past as something of a slave and his connection to Tiergan and Staelufre provide her interest in him.

:<font style="color:#BEC3BC;" size="3">●</font>[[Gus Pumpkinweed]] : Met only once. Ember dislikes Gus Pumpkinweed for one simple reason: Her friends do. However, she also views him as skimping out on a promise to give food. (Though in reality he did take an interest in gifting Ember food)

:<font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font>[[Reginald Ozrik]] : Initially mistrustful of him after L'aenoh's accusing him of hurting Staelufre, her first impression of the man was not improved even after the misconceptions had been cleared up. Though perhaps justified in his agitation, after being punched by L'aenoh, Ember took this to represent how Reginald is. His poking fun of the way she spoke particularly struck a self-conscious nerve. Even after he apologized she was unable to forgive him and took the apology further to be an insult.

:<font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font>[[Sebastian Grave]] : Sophia's brother and a source of mistrust for Ember due to her negative first impression of him. She views the young man as aggressive, aloof, and callous. Subsequent meetings have done little to improve her opinion of him despite being mild encounters.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Appearance & Personality</div>===
Sophia stands rather tall at 5'8" and weighs in at roughly 130 ponz. To many, Sophia may come off as the delicate lady and for good reason. She is pristinely kept with large, vibrantly blue eyes, a slender, yet toned build free of blemishes, scars, or imperfections of any kind, save for a small scar on her hip. Many consider her strikingly beautiful; however, that beauty stands in a curious, almost strange contrast to the rest of her, at least, to those with a discerning eye. Her apparel, for example, may suggest a more dangerous lifestyle than her pampered visage might suggest. Though decidedly civilian in appearance, Sophia’s clothes are often reinforced for combat and features several more alterations to that end.

Lying undoubtedly on the cerebral side of the scale, she is careful, deliberate, and rational. Sophia's mind naturally break down interaction and thoughts as if they were parts of a recipe: her choice of words, tone, proximity, touch, and facial expression are all calculated to express exactly what she wants them to. Rather than seem cold or machine-like, she uses this approach, alongside her looks, to effectively manipulate others and disguise herself.

In the rare instances of candid truth, she displays an odd, sometimes confusing duality. On one hand, Sophia has a strong sense of justice, and rarely acts for her own personal gain. She admires honesty and virtue in others, especially when such an individual succeeds in making real, beneficial changes for those around them. On the other hand, she hardly carries these traits herself and will even take advantage of said benevolence to further her agenda. She will lie, manipulate, and kill, and love every heart racing moment. She lives for the moment an enemy realizes they are beaten, or when a mark unwittingly divulges sensitive information. Though hardly promiscuous, she can't help but smile when a man or woman is wrapped around her finger.

This wheels back to her admiration for the truly good, which creates a sort of cycle of disdain over her actions and lifestyle tumbling against her guilty pleasure derived from those same actions. She genuinely wants to be the honest, virtuous person she admires, but her profession and a pervading sense of pessimism prevents her from seeing that as a viable option, not to mention it clashes with her addiction for proving her superiority. Her only option, she feels, is at least apply her nebulous skill set to a productive end.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">History</div>===
''Please be aware that due to the lack of lore available on the Empire, some assumptions are made in order to complete Sophia's background. They will be changed when suitable lore is released.''
<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">''I. Rise of an Empire''</div>

Sovea was born in the capital city of Garlemald as a member of the Gravitas line. Like the Empire itself, the Gravitas line owes its own rise to that of the then Legatus Solus van Galvus and magiteknology. Before Garlemald’s conversion to an empire, Sovea’s grandfather, Lucius sas Gravitas, was a Tribunis under Galvus in its small standing army. At the time, the Empire was no Empire at all; merely a small, border republic built on harsh land. The republic’s Senate ruled and held most of the country’s wealth and influence. When Galvus rose, Garlemald’s military rose with him. Further still, magiteknology allowed for more robust trade, via the republic’s new airships and its brand new export.

Opportunities in both magitek and military allowed for even common men to become something, and while Lucius was no common man, he took advantage all the same. During Garlemald’s initial expansion efforts, Lucius won several battles for the burgeoning Empire, earning him both fame and fortune. His son, Sebastos, continued to serve after his father’s retirement, working his best to garnish respect for his family. While they were indeed well respected for their military prowess, the Gravitas family held no standing in political circles. Seeking to change that, Sebastos set the stage for his children to become the Lords and Ladies needed to help his Radiance run the Empire. Thus, Sebastos natus Gravitas II was born in 1550, followed later by Sovea nata Gravitas in 1552.

<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">''II. (1552-1569) Ambition & Youth''</div>

Sovea’s childhood was strenuous, yet gratifying. Sebastos II had, by his point, cemented himself as a failure in his father’s eyes, given to indulgence and overall irresponsibility. Thusly, Sebastos I took even greater care in prepping Sovea for success, utilizing the best tutors available and implanting his own experiences in her. Fortunately, Sovea was nothing like her older brother, and was absolutely insatiable for knowledge. She embodied a Garlean ideal; beautiful, noble, clever, and ambitious; Sebastos I even considered the idea of marrying her into the throne. While the idea of Empress was certainly an alluring notion, attaining the throne through marriage was, to her, repulsive. She was no powerless ornament to be shown about at galas, after all. She’d be like her father, grandfather, or even Galvus himself.

At this point, Sovea began to push for enrollment at Garlemald’s military academy, against her father’s wishes. They bickered back and forth for years, but Sebastos I finally relented. Sovea was nearly fourteen at this time, an age widely considered too old to catch up in an Academy. Sebastos I figured she wouldn’t be able to catch up to her peers and would eventually quit, so he relented. Unfortunately for him, she not only caught up, but thrived, reaching top of her class in a few short cycles.

<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">''III. (1569-1571) Realpolitik''</div>

Before Sovea could truly cement herself in a military future, her father ended her enrollment. A now eighteen cycles old Sovea found herself at odds with her father and completely cut off from her desired future. Thus, she begrudgingly turns toward her father’s plan, and gains mentorship with a Senator’s supporting staff.

Sovea was initially at odds with her mentorship, which consisted mainly of administrative duties. Before long and through specific events, she learned that real, genuine secrets were not only closer than she thought, but were within reach. She did just that and suddenly, politics wasn't just trivial arguing between old men anymore. There was a fragile, invisible world there of plotting and secrecy that those same politicians both relied on and feared. It was a grand game of schemes, and naturally, Sovea jumped right in. After a few cycles, there came the point where Sovea's actions became too high profile and infamous to continue working any further. Just when the door closed on yet another opportunity, another opened when she was approached by the Frumentari.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Combat</div>===
<table style="position:center;" width="100%">
While conflict is common in her line of work, Sophia will typically try to circumvent the need for outright combat, or at the very least, create or prepare an advantage. When necessary, however, she approaches it as if it were science, where every action, strategy, weapon, or defensive measure can be quantified and logically weighed against any other. Sophia employs several tools of various complexity to fight her battles as something of a Gadgeteer, but often begins with her bare hands. In this regard, she utilizes a more grounded form of pugilism which focuses on locking her opponent’s range of motion and preventing attacks or retaliation to allow her own. While this is an effective strategy against some, her bare hands can hardly penetrate armor, nor can she expect to overpower a stronger opponent. To address this shortcoming, Sophia uses several tools to throw off her foe and attack in various ways:
:'''*new* Gauntlets''': While these seem to be ordinary, leather gauntlets with steel plating, they are actually coated in a substance that allows the user to easily create a shower of sparks by sliding both together. Not dangerous on its own; this gadget instead is used to detonate explosives, light fuses, or start fires.
:'''Wrist Wire''': Gloves affixed with mechanism that manages a retractable length of Carbontwine, which is able to handle an admirable strain without snapping. Features a modular design which allows attachments on the end of the wire, such as a small blade, hook, magnet, or weight to allow use for more functions.
:'''*new* Flexible Det Cord''': A slight redesign on her wrist wire; these gloves instead house a length of flexible detonating cord. While not nearly as strong as Carbontwine, this device has obvious, alternative uses.
:'''*new* Explosive Dust''': A pouch of some kind of alchemical concoction. Lighter and more stable than Firesand, a cloud of this substance can hang in the air just long enough for Sophia to trigger to a variety of ends.
:'''Karambit Dagger''': A small, crescent knife with a short blade not unlike a talon or claw, featuring a loop at the butt of the grip. Typically held with its blade at the bottom of the fist, it is well suited to ripping or tearing motions.
:'''Throwing Knives''': A type of knife specifically designed and weighted to be thrown effectively.
:'''Magnetic Restraint''': A device resembling a horseshoe tailored to bind an armored foe’s limb to their plate using a high-powered magnet. She typically carries two, which can lock together to act as a set of manacles.
:'''Auto Injector''': A syringe built for ease of use and durability, typically used to deliver poison.
:'''Eorzean Flintlock Pistol''': A large, double barreled firearm of Eorzean make. Slow to reload and less accurate, when Sophia carries this (if at all), it is merely for the sake of blending in while keeping a ranged option open.
:'''Garlean Magazine Pistol''': A pocket-sized, Garlean-made pistol. Although more effective than Eorzean firearms, it is a rare option considering the technological gap between the Empire and the rest of Hydaelyn and makes for an easy red flag against her cover.
:'''Aldebaran''': A magitek bit reverse engineered from an Allagan model, featuring a mounted cannon, an onboard stealth generator, and various computing functions. Again, as advanced technology, Aldebaran is rarely used or revealed, and instead is used more as an investigative tool or safety net.

'''Flickering Ember''' is a blind roegadyn hailing from Eastern Thanalan. The girl has accomplished the seemingly impossible by growing up in solitude within the arid region. She is a feral child who has been partially assimilated into society over the course of several years. When she was first discovered in the wilds of Thanalan shortly after the Calamity, she was essentially mute with the exception of a few toddler-like words. Though with often animal-like mannerisms and a lack of understanding towards society and culture, Ember keeps home in The Goblet along with her free company, Aeon.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #C94C33;font-size:14px;color:#120A07;">Physical Description</div>===
Despite her youth, Ember's height matches many of the tallest roegadyns. It is easily her most apparent feature as she towers over most people, including many roegadyns. Her next most recognizable features are her ashy dark skin, fiery red hair, distinctive facial markings, and her odd eyes. Ashy dark skin contrasts with her bright red-orange fiery hair, creating the look of a young woman who encompasses the spirit of the very volcanoes her clan hails from. Her body is marked by several scars she has obtained from her rugged lifestyle. None of these are grisly battle scars, but rather small, faint, and faded ones that are too difficult to notice without staring. Aside from her scars, she has two more noticeable markings elsewhere on her body. The more obvious one is the claw like marking that spreads from one end of her face to another. It appears to be permanently graphed into her skin. The other is runic symbol on her left upper back, just over where her heart is. It is clearly of a magical nature with its glowing chill blue and intricate design.

Aside from height, Ember lives up to another of her race's features with her muscular build. A lifestyle of hunting and surviving with no one to depend on but herself has kept her physically strong. However, she is not as well chiseled as an experienced, fully grown roegadyn warrior. Ember's weight can fluctuate as well depending on her current living situations. Much of the time her friends and family provide her with food, something on which Ember indulges on without limit. This helps her put on some much needed fat. Overall, she is a muscular, physically strong girl who could still use some toughening up to reach her full potential.

Ember's eyes are another item of note. The young woman is blind though she is without cataracts or any noticeable injury to the eyes. They are normal and healthy. Clues of her condition can be gathered from how she looks at her environments around her. She does not make eye contact wit objects or people nor do her pupils shift much. Often times this can result in her appearing to stare at something or someone endlessly.

Her voice is on the husky side but lightened by Ember's typical inquisitive, enthusiastic, and generally happy demeanor.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #C94C33;font-size:14px;color:#120A07;">Personality</div>===

Ember is a person of extremes. She is either quiet and mistrusting, hostile and aggressive, or sweet and affectionate. In new situations or around those she does not know, she can be reserved and suspicious. However, her trust can be easily won by gift-giving, aiding her when she is in need, or providing her with affection. If Ember feels threatened for whatever reason, even if the gesture is relatively mundane or harmless, she will lash out. She is very protective of things she claims as her own and this can extend past just items of value. Most importantly, Ember loves and desires attention. She longs for the approval of others and places extreme importance in impressing others that she has a strong opinion of.

She is curious of almost everything and enjoys actively interacting with people and/or items. Even the smallest things in life can bring her great joy. She can also be stubborn at times, choosing when or when she will not listen to others. However, the more she sees an individual as a superior, the more she will be willing to listen to them. Her solitude can lead her to be insensitive but the well-being of others is a top concern for her. Above all, she is affectionate and seeks happiness through others.

Apart from this, Ember acts on instinct and irrational thought to guide her in decision-making, a product of her upbringing. Often times she is more of a do-er than a thinker. Because of her upbringing, she hasn’t had the advantage of education but more importantly, she hasn’t been mentally stimulated the same way others who have grown up around people have. She did not learn to speak until very late in her life, troubling for her mental development. She is overall not as intelligent as many others for this reason, although she holds no mental conditions. More times than not, though, she is simply ignorant and can make up for her lack of knowledge with cleverness, should the situation call for it.

It is unknown where Ember came from, who her parents are, or when she was born. It is a mystery even to herself. The first sightings and rumors of a wild child, little more than a beast, began passing around in some settlements of Thanalan over a decade ago. The villagers spoke of a young girl who looked and acted like an animal. These early accounts always spoke of her from a distance and described her more as a fairytale or an urban legend than a real child in need of help.

Ember cannot recall a time where the desert was not her home. Parents, friends, social norms, entertainment, man-made amenities, language – all these were not only foreign to her but completely unknown until a short while ago. The majority of her life has been spent roaming and living off the land on her lonesome. Above all else, the need for survival ruled the entirety of her life. Life in the desert is a hard one.

She often took up residence in abandoned buildings or in other similar shelters around Eastern Thanalan. Her lifestyle was nomadic, often traveling to all other areas of Thanalan, except for the north. However, she would always end up returning to the Eastern Thanalan at the end of these journeys.

In this way, her concerns were for food, water, shelter, and safety. Wherever food and water was plentiful would dictate what region of Thanalan she would migrate to. Shelter was necessary to evade the sometimes too overbearing heat. Safety was not only to refrain being killed by other more dangerous creatures, but to overpower them when possible for a required meal. Fun and entertainment was rarely a factor in her life.

As she grew, personal accounts of her in the various villages increased. She grew bolder and became willing to rob farms of their produce and livestock. Still, she remained elusive to capture.

It wasn't until the Calamity occurred that everything changed. The catastrophic event killed a startling number of people and forever changed the landscape of the world. It affected those living in the wilderness just as it had those who dwelled in cities. The result was an injured Ember, badly in need of treatment.

Shortly after the Calamity, search parties person out to retrieve the injured and the dead across the region of Thanalan. It was during this search that a search party from Ul'dah came across Ember. At the time, she was too weak to resist capture and was taken back to the city.

There, she was placed in the care of Menphina's Joy Orphanage. Shortly after her admittance, the orphanage became full and was unable to accept any more children orphaned by the Calamity.

Ember's presence caused quite a stir right from the get-go. After a few days of care, she became conscious enough to turn violent on her saviors. She had never known human interaction and so she turned on them, biting them and scratching them viciously like an animal. She had no restraint which increased the dangers of such a crude method of attack.

[[File:Ember graphite 2.png|200px|thumb|right| A sketch of Ember sent out by Menphina's Joy Orphanage]]

The orphanage endured Ember's uncontrollable and volatile behavior for a long period of time before discussions of casting her out from the orphanage took place. The girl had been unresponsive to kindness and showed no signs of improving her violent behavior. Furthermore, the girl had no education or skills. She could not talk. It was required to restrain her to perform simple tasks such as bathing her, treating her injuries, or getting her to participate in other hygienic care.

It was the emergence of a roegadyn named, Burning Mountain that changed everything. The roegadyn prevented the the girl from being cast out and took her into his own care as a foster father. The man worked long and hard to try and assimilate Ember into social society. It was a long and slow process but one that ended up proving success. Ember began to learn language skills and basic social behavior. She could communicate with other humans without attacking them. She learned 'Hello' , 'Please' , 'Thank you' , and 'Goodbye.'

However, over time Burning Mountain took notice to how Ember pined for her old life back in the wilderness of Thanalan. She had long since recovered and have learned a great deal in that time. Still, she had much to learn, but he would not keep her from her own life. He agreed to release her back into the wild, though they would still occasionally meet to brush up on Ember's language skills.

:<font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font>[[Jericho Lapointe]] : Ember met Jericho at a time of turmoil in his life. In their first meeting, Jericho could not control his magical powers and was unleashing a series of dangerous spells. Ember was able to diffuse him by simply taking his hand and holding it. Ever since then, the two have shared a close bond that has taken a romantic turn. Jericho needs Ember for her positivity and smiles and Ember needs hims for his grounded and supportive nature.

:<font style="color:#F0F078;" size="3">♥</font>[[Brynhilde Wulf]] : At the time Ember met Brynhilde, she was still living on her own in the desert. Brynhilde triggered a chain of events that lead to Ember gradually connecting to other people more and more. It is thanks to the older woman that Ember has been able to find love, family, and friends. She not only sees Brynhilde as her mother but she also sees her as a rolemodel. Because of this, Ember both seeks comfort from Brynhilde as well as a need to impress her. Additionally, in terms of authority, Ember views Brynhilde's word as stone.

:<font style="color:#F0F078;" size="3">♥</font>[[Faolan Woodlock]] : A young man whom she shares quite a few similarities with. Both grew up in the silence of the wilderness, caring for themselves in harsh regions--him in snowy lands and Ember in the arid regions of Thanalan. They share a wanting for others that can feel far away or awkward due to their upbringing in solitude. Because of this, Ember takes a refuge in Faolan's presence where they have an unspoken bond. Although the woodsman often has trouble with being touched, Ember often holds his hand whenever she can.

:<font style="color:#F0F078;" size="3">♥</font>[[Sophia Grave]] : In many ways, Sophia and Ember are vastly different from each other. Sophia has proven a trustworthy ally and companion to Ember. Her very presence brings her great comfort and delight. Sophia is both knowledgeable and a strong opponent--two traits that Ember holds in high regard. In short, Sophia has always been there for her which has made Sophia's recent decisions all the more painful for the young roegadyn who loves and looks up to her like a sister. Recent events have pitted Sophia against the rest of her family--something that has broken Ember's heart.

:<font style="color:#F0F078;" size="3">♥</font>[[Tiergan Vashir]] : Tiergan is like a vastly older brother to Ember. Where she views Zaius as fun, Tiergan is regarded as the more 'parent-like' one in his willingness to scold her. She only sometimes listens to him but recognizes that Tiergan has experience and wisdom that is often invaluable. Perhaps one could question the extent of wisdom a man who has spent much of his life fighting in the arenas could impart. However, it is precisely because of Tiergan's physical aptitude that leads her to such beliefs. With him as a companion to help guide her through several traumatic events, she holds him in high regard. Even if Tiergan can be a bit of a grump, having him around is always a celebration for Ember.

:<font style="color:#F0F078;" size="3">♥</font>[[Zaius Rhal'seer]] : Like Tiergan, Ember views Zaius as a vastly older brother. However, their relationship dynamic differs dramatically. Where Ember thinks Tiergan as stern, Zaius is fun-loving. Long stretches of absence and their brief meetings only serve to heighten her value of him. She has a more affectionate bond with Tiergan but Zaius is the cool older brother whom Ember admires strongly. Intrigued and amazed by his stories of power, Ember holds an immense respect for him by his sheer strength alone. His power, cleverness, dominance, and knowledge make her view him as an ideal rolemodel, alongside Brynhilde. In short, she wants to grow up to be him.

:<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">♥</font>[[Caen Jabari]] : Caen is an upbeat teenaged miqo'te, very recently turned adult. Like Leilani, she sees him as an equal of sorts. Ember likes Caen's positive presence that could dissipate any frown. Despite his positivity, Ember knows it is housed by an inner sadness. She was there when the amnesiac magically received his memories back--of which she has been unable to forget the tragic death of his mother. Ember feels for Caen's loneliness but he always excels in making ::her:: never feel alone. She appreciates how willing he is to touch her and let her touch him. Caen has often forgotten that Ember is blind, to which Ember also fails to realize he does not know due to his willingness to guide her by the hand. She often questions some of his logic, finding some of his reasonings on certain concepts to be strange.

:<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">♥</font>[[Ja'ren A'lenthin]] : Ja'ren came into Ember's life around the time she took residence up in the Goblet. Even when they had first met, they held an amicable relationship. Her opinion of him grew the more she got to know him. The Miqo'te youth has a special type of vision that Ember found fascinating. When they lived together it was common for Ja'ren to make gifts with his crafting skills as well as provide meals for the household. Their relationship grew into one that is akin to that of siblings, with both of them looking out for one another. Ember enjoys pestering him while Ja'ren tolerates it. Recent happenings have hurt her feelings towards him. Even so, he remains dear to her.

:<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">♥</font>[[Leilani Leilai]] : Leilani is a teenaged lalafell girl whom Ember thinks of as an equal, perhaps not in combat, but in her handling of the world. Leilani is chipper and enthusiastic. She is a practitioner of the arts: music, dancing, pies. ( Ember especially likes the pies.) When Ember is with Leilani, she always feels welcome.

:<font style="color:#679AE7;" size="3">♥</font>[[Avenio Naemig]] : First met on a mission to recover a village's missing children, Ember didn't really start to form an opinion of him until they teamed up to rescue [[Faolan Woodlock]] from mysterious monsters. The highlander may not speak much, but he carries his character through his deeds. Avenio aided Ember during some of her most vulnerable points of their most recent mission together. Though she has witnessed a scary side of him, Avenio managed to reassure her.
:<font style="color:#679AE7;" size="3">♥</font>[[Bertrand Irons]]: "Irons" to Ember. Bertrand is a capable, knowledgeable, and dedicated doctor with a warm and friendly demeanor. Bertrand has cared for several of Ember's injuries, a kindness that she is not likely to forget. Without even knowing her, he took a genuine interest in helping her. On top of this, Bertrand helps to boost Ember's confidence by assuring her that her blindness is a strength, not a weakness. He has taken to reading storybooks to her.

:<font style="color:#679AE7;" size="3">♥</font>[[Brave Horizon]] : A fellow roegadyn Hellsguard who has been cut off from society up until recently. This is a history that she shared with Ember, although for differing reasons. Brave is a comforting presence for Ember and perhaps vice versa. Ember views Brave as an equal and therefore someone that she feels she can confide in.

:<font style="color:#679AE7;" size="3">♥</font>[[Chachanji Gegenji]] : For a brief period, Ember had become her old feral self for unknown reasons. Since her transitioning back to normal, Ember remembers the care he had placed in her. His presence is calming and memories of him combing her hair provide a somewhat instinctual interest in his hair. He has a kind and friendly nature that Ember feels she can confide in and look to for aid.

:<font style="color:#679AE7;" size="3">♥</font>[[Daghbheri Himalspyr]] : Or simply "Dog" to Ember. The two first befriended over him gifting a meal to her. Since then, Dogberry has become an adult friend to her. She appreciates his kind, casual, and laidback nature. She finds him to be approachable with interesting topics to discuss.

:<font style="color:#679AE7;" size="3">♥</font>[[Memeli Meli]] : First met at Memeli's own girls' only slumber party, Ember has since then found a friend in the pink lalafell. Memeli is loud, playful, and most of all FUN. It is quite easy to be entertained when she is around. Memeli is also noticeably caring towards her friends. Ember adores it whenever the young woman addresses or acknowledges her. She is convinced that Memeli has sprouted bunny ears due to how consistently they are worn.

:<font style="color:#679AE7;" size="3">♥</font>[[Staelufre Lysmerl]] : Staelufre is a person who often steals much of Ember's interest. The miqo'te woman has some kind of connection to magic that Ember has never known, she tells the most amazing, fun, and informative stories, knows the roegadyn language, and she is often getting into trouble. She is fascinated by every word Staelufre speaks. Ember also sees Staelufre as a person that respects and regards her as an equal, despite Ember viewing her as having superior knowledge of the world.

:<font style="color:#;" size="3">♥</font>[[Virara Wakuwa]] : Virara had also met Ember in her feral state, though she scarcely remembers Virara's presence from that time period. She does, however, remember her and is intrigued by her. They share similarities, both being feral children. They also share a love of food. Ember often misunderstands her customs, especially anything that relates back to Virara's Master. However, Ember greatly respects her fighter's spirit.

:<font style="color:#E6D5D5;" size="3">♥</font>[[Jancis Milburga]] : Ember has had a few meetings with Jancis. Jancis is always polite and kind to Ember. She constantly interprets Jancis' manner of speaking as a sign of the woman holding an unspoken respect and/or affection towards Ember. She is unsure how Jancis knows her but she goes along with it instead of letting it bother her.

:<font style="color:#E6D5D5;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#BEC3BC;" size="3">●</font> [[Teld're Eska'aldren]] : Teld're is an enigma to Ember. She often forgets how she met him or how he knows her. In his mysterious nature, Ember is curious of the extent of his knowledge and power, speculating that he must have a hidden depth of strength that she has not yet witnessed. She is slightly wary of him but has taken a liking to him due him being amiable towards her on a consistent basis. His past as something of a slave and his connection to Tiergan and Staelufre provide her interest in him.

:<font style="color:#BEC3BC;" size="3">●</font>[[Gus Pumpkinweed]] : Met only once. Ember dislikes Gus Pumpkinweed for one simple reason: Her friends do. However, she also views him as skimping out on a promise to give food. (Though in reality he did take an interest in gifting Ember food)

:<font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font>[[Reginald Ozrik]] : Initially mistrustful of him after L'aenoh's accusing him of hurting Staelufre, her first impression of the man was not improved even after the misconceptions had been cleared up. Though perhaps justified in his agitation, after being punched by L'aenoh, Ember took this to represent how Reginald is. His poking fun of the way she spoke particularly struck a self-conscious nerve. Even after he apologized she was unable to forgive him and took the apology further to be an insult.

:<font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font>[[Sebastian Grave]] : Sophia's brother and a source of mistrust for Ember due to her negative first impression of him. She views the young man as aggressive, aloof, and callous. Subsequent meetings have done little to improve her opinion of him despite being mild encounters.

Brynhilde stands at 6 fulms and 1 ilm tall with long, slender limbs and neck. She has the archetypal developed musculature of the Highlander woman, while keeping the feminine body shape.

[[File: BrynSketchPainter.JPG|thumb|right|]]

Bryn has a slim face, with a fine nose, full lips and thick brows. She has porcelain-pale skin, with light freckling across her nose, cheeks and shoulders.

Her eyes are a very pale sky blue, and she keeps them lined with brown kohl.

Her hair is quite thick, and she usually keeps it neatly tied. It is mostly smooth, but some of Brynhilde's hair has a coarser texture to it owing to her Highlander heritage, and these strands she wears in locks she binds with ribbon and adorns with charms. When worn loose, her hair reaches below her shoulder blades.

[[File: Bryn sketch.jpg|thumb|left|By [[Lurial Vashir]]]]

A good look at her reveals that Bryn takes greater pride in her personal appearance than your average adventurer. When not in her well-kept armour, she chooses light, often feminine attire. She has a good eye for colour and her fingernails are oddly well-kept for an adventurer. She wears a pleasant lavender fragrance, and often applies a light gloss to her lips.

Bryn has no tattoos, but a few fine scars on her hands and arms. She does, however, have some significant scarring on her torso. She has two piercings in either earlobe, and wears simple silver studs in them.

Brynhilde's voice is smooth and somewhat breathy. While her cycles in greater Eorzea have softened her Ala Mhigan accent, it is still notable in her rolled R's and occasional pronunciation of W's as V's. Her accent is more pronounced when she is upset.

She maintains good posture, typically keeping her head held high and back straight, accentuating her already considerable height as a Highlander. At rest, her expression is often stern or impassive. She can often come across as haughty.

====<div style="background:#ACD3EB;font-family:Georgia;font-size:30px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;"><center>'' Strengths ''</center></div>====

Bryn, despite surface impressions, is a woman of intense feeling. She is deeply compassionate, and fervently loyal to friends and family. She is very principled, and has a tendency to consider the needs of the group above her own. She will willingly do what others won’t, if she believes it is for the best. She is determined to the extreme; once she has decided on a course of action, naught will keep her from her goal.
[[File: Bryn Valor.png|thumb|left|]]

With her calm, confident demeanour and tendency to be decisive and assertive, Bryn is a natural leader. While she does not actively seek to lead, she is comfortable being the one others turn to for guidance.

Although she always desired a family, Bryn's devotion to the resistance kept her from ever having children of her own. Perhaps as a result, and owing to her qualities of being 'the protector' type, Bryn has a mothering side to her. She likes to take care of those around her, be it through making sure they're fed a decent meal, or through offering a sympathetic ear.
<br><br>
[[File: Bryn_WHM.png|thumb|right|]]
Having spent her younger Cycles in Ala Mhigo's noble courts, Bryn is adept in charm and flattery, and will happily employ both to her advantage in social situations. Bryn has been known to use her skill in diplomacy to smooth over difficult social situations to great effect. She can sometimes come across as rather flirtatious, although she rarely has genuine romantic intentions.

====<div style="background:#ACD3EB;font-family:Georgia;font-size:30px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;"><center>'' Flaws ''</center></div>====

Her desire to protect those around her, coupled with her ‘bigger picture’ views, can make her very self-destructive and reckless. She is a martyr, with little regard for her own safety and happiness. Her principles can make her overly-righteous at times, to the point where she has difficulty perceiving other views and shades of moral grey. As a result, she can be prone to extremism.

Cycles spent in the militarized environment of the Ala Mhigan resistance have left Bryn with a measure of distaste for authority, rules and rigid social structures. She cares for laws only insofar as they serve toward achieving moral ends. As soon as she perceives them as having become a hindrance to those ends, Bryn swiftly abandons them in favour of her own moral code. This can make her something of a wildcard.

[[File:BrynHowlingEye.png|thumb|left|]]

Bryn can be overly-proud, sometimes to the point of arrogance, and is often loathe to reveal anything about herself which she feels could put her at a disadvantage. Brynhilde is incredibly guarded, and rarely ever surrenders information about herself unless asked. Even then, her answers are often evasive and sometimes dishonest. She can be uptight and reluctant to relax.

She is slow to trust and does not cope well with emotional vulnerability. She has a strong desire to maintain control at all times, both of herself and her environment, and sometimes unfortunately of the people in her life, too.

Although it is a difficult thing to provoke her into anger, her temper is explosive when lost. It takes a lot to drag Bryn into an argument. Once there, however, she digs her heels in and doesn't yield. She’s not entirely above a shouting match if the argument is regarding something she feels passionately about, but generally she prefers to avoid conflict whenever she can. Insults have little effect on her; the quickest way to witness her temper is to attack those she cares for. That said, a particularly sore point is her Ala Mhigan heritage. Insult it at your peril.

Having come from a traditionalist Mhigan family, Brynhilde has some unhealthy prejudices and attitudes. She tends to keep these mostly to herself, and as a result they rarely affect her relationships.

Brynhilde believes that she has a duty to suffer until her final day. Moments of happiness for her are thus shadowed by a quiet anxiety which is hard for her to discard.
<br>

====<div style="background:#ACD3EB;font-family:Georgia;font-size:30px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;"><center>'' Romance ''</center></div>====

Being the guarded character that she is, Bryn does not grow close to others quickly. A potential lover would need to be willing to invest the time and energy needed to get her to lower her defences before there could be any chance for intimacy. Trust is a big issue for Brynhilde and she is also keenly aware that, owing to her history, allowing others to get close to her may put them at risk of harm.

In others she respects the qualities of strength, virtue and courage. Her partner would need to be a person who is non-judgemental and compassionate. She is put off by lecherous behaviour and empty flattery.

Bryn recognises that she is equally attracted to both men and women, but her prejudices keep her from being attracted to anyone who isn't either Highlander or Roegadyn. She is concerned for the purity and longevity of the Highlander race, and so would be very reluctant to enter into sexual relations with a man of another race.<br><br>

<br>

====<div style="background:#ACD3EB;font-family:Georgia;font-size:30px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;"><center>'' Ideology ''</center></div>====

<br>'''Religion'''

The best word to describe Brynhilde's religious beliefs would be "Gods-fearing". She believes in the Twelve but does not actively worship any of them, although in her youth she gave homage to Rhalgr, according to her peoples' custom. Bryn believes that the Twelve have little involvement in or care for the lives of mortals, excepting that they are vengeful and sure to dole out justice to those who are cruel.

She believes nonetheless that she has been favoured by Rhalgr and Halone all her life, a belief that causes her no small amount of grief.<br>

'''Politics'''

Brynhilde grew up in the militaristic culture of Ala Mhigo, and so was raised with a concern for the needs of the group, the unit and the nation above the individual. Her traumatic experiences of war and the warrior culture turned her away from this mentality, as she saw the worst that the 'greater good' mindset could lead to. She subsequently turned toward a firm belief in the worth of each life, and the irrevocable dignity of the individual.

As such, she reviles politics that disregard the needs of the poor and disempowered. She holds contempt for those who support such politics, and particularly those who believe that it is acceptable to sacrifice the few for the sake of the many.

Brynhilde despises the lust for wealth, and is prone to distrust those who display it.

==<div style="background:#ACD3EB;font-family:Georgia;font-size:40px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;"><center>''''' Combat '''''</center></div>==

[[File:BrynHeader_Combat.png|1100px|]]
<br>

<br>
In battle Brynhilde favours the sword and shield, and prefers a longer blade to the shortsword or gladius. She is swift in battle and possessing of remarkable grace, fighting with a dancing, flourishing style of swordplay rarely seen among adventurers. She tends toward a more defensive stance, and most often on the battlefield can be found with shield raised, stood between her comrades and that which would harm them.

In combat, Bryn wears a combination of plate, chain and leather. The heavy plate she wears to guard her torso against the inevitable blows she endures as a defender, as well as to guard her sword-arm. She wears the lighter chain on her legs to preserve mobility, and the leather on her gauntlets and greaves to maintain flexibility.

She has incredible staying power; although she may have suffered heavy blows and her body screams with fatigue, she will fight until either her foe is defeated, or she is overwhelmed. Pain seems to have little effect on her.

Her strong Highlander body gives Bryn the raw strength to overwhelm most opponents in close-quarters combat, with the exception of Roegadyn and male Highlanders. However, she possesses little defence against magical and ranged attacks.

After many moons of intense practice and study, Brynhilde has achieved a greater mastery of curative magic. As she continues to improve, she seeks ways to utilise her spells in close-quarters battle, so as to better defend and protect her allies.

Although rarely employed, Brynhilde has an understanding of the basic functioning of magitek small arms and improvised explosives. She is also skilled in the use of the traditional Highlander weapon of the zweihander, or two-handed sword.

If given the choice, Bryn would rather not fight at all. Although she is not a pacifist, she detests senseless violence and never fights without good cause.<br>

<br>
<br>
Bryn is a Landsknecht, a follower of a little-known and proud martial tradition of Ala Mhigo. She is very selective about work she takes on, often agreeing to it only if she would not be required to violate her moral code in order to complete the job. As such, she has built up a modest reputation in Limsa Lominsa and Ul’dah as a reliable person who deals fairly and honourably with those she works with. She has a marked concern for the underdog and the downtrodden. Recently she has mostly concerned herself with the dealings of the secretive Aeon free company.

Bryn loves to ride, and she and her chocobo, Astridr, typically cover several malms every day. She finds a measure of peace in travelling, in cooking and reading, and sometimes in writing. She loves Chocobos and hounds, often preferring their company to that of other people.

She also has a secret, tragic love for trashy romance novels. You know, the really awful ones with titles like, ‘The Viscount’s Mistress’, and ‘The Doctor’s Bride’. Heaving bosoms abound!

Bryn likes music and stories, particularly romance. She enjoys drinking, and owing to her noble origins, is a talented dancer. Just perhaps not in the dancing styles you’d most often find in Eorzea’s taverns.

Their unlikely pairing had a somewhat rocky start, as it was marred at times by misunderstanding and tension. Despite this, the two continued to be drawn together by mutual attraction until they at last embarked upon a romantic relationship.

Bryn admires Dog's frankness, humour, sensitivity and devotion to his son, although at times she struggles to understand his outlook on life. While at first her attraction to him was mostly in the physical sense, Bryn's growing feelings for Dog have been coming to the fore in recent weeks. She looks forward to seeing where their relationship goes with cautious optimism; a rare thing, for her.</spoiler>

Close enough, even, for Bryn to place her life in Tiergan's hands. Bryn was pleasantly surprised to learn that they share a homeland, and has come to appreciate Tiergan's selflessness and combat proficiency. Having correctly guessed Tiergan's difficult past, Bryn also feels sympathetic toward the Miqo'te. Despite her thinly-veiled prejudice against most Miqo'te, Brynhilde views Tiergan almost as a brother.</spoiler></td>

<td style="width:50%";><font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font>'''[[Striding Oak]]''' <spoiler>The two met in La Noscea when Oak came to Bryn's aid as the Hyur fled attackers. Oak arrived in time to find a gravely wounded Brynhilde, whose life she saved by ripping a spear tip from her side so that the White Mage [[Ne'ci Aera]] could heal her. After that, the two began to develop a close friendship. As moons passed and the two spent time together, Bryn began to realise that her feelings for Oak ran deeper than she was ready to admit. Eventually the two confessed their feelings, and embarked upon a loving, affectionate and happy relationship. Oak's long absence in the previous cycle was difficult for Brynhilde to cope with. Eventually she resolved to move on with her life, although it was no easy decision for her to make.

Now that Oak has returned, things between the two of them couldn't be further than what they once were; their relationship is cold and sometimes hostile. Bryn will not speak on it.</spoiler>

While some might find Ember's lack of any understanding of social mores odd or frustrating, for the most part Bryn finds them endearing. She has a maternal attitude toward the girl, and her protective urges over her can unfortunately lean toward the overly-fierce.</spoiler>

Those days have long since passed, and events following them have left Bryn feeling increasingly distanced from the Hellsguard. She is often frustrated by Brave's hot-headedness and what Bryn views as an over-eagerness to jump to rash action. She struggles to find a way to articulate her feelings to Brave and grow closer to her, but guilt keeps her at bay.</spoiler>

Bryn and Arcian, however, are similar in their serious attitudes. This has perhaps kept them from being as close as they could be. Nonetheless, Bryn has opened up to Arcian before, and the younger Highlander is aware of one of Bryn's gravest secrets. To this day, she remains one of a tiny handful of people who know the true extend of the horrors of her past.</spoiler>

Bryn intially found Gharen's taciturn nature quite frustrating, but time spent training and socializing together since has given her a better understanding of the man. Bells spent in conversation with Gharen have shown Bryn a kindly, honourable and admirable man whose company she greatly enjoys. She wishes to see him safe and happy, but has thus far maintained her distance out of respect for his pride.</spoiler>

While she holds no ill will toward Ary personally, Bryn has come to the grim realisation that if it were necessary, she must be ready to do her harm.

::* "Aye, that's her. ''Adelfrida Bloodwoad'', daughter of the resistance. So called because she used to paint her face with the blood of the Imperials she had slain in battle. What, you don't believe me? Bah, fine. Believe as you wish. But I'm tellin' you, that one's as the Highlanders of old; she's as vicious as they come."

==<div style="background:#ACD3EB;font-family:Georgia;font-size:40px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;"><center>''''' History/Timeline '''''</center></div>==
===''1539 - 1558 : The Ala Mhigan Cycles''===
<br>
<spoiler>
Adelfrida Brandulfr (meaning,”Noble Beauty, Fire Wolf”) was born in Ala Mhigo on the 22nd Sun of the First Astral moon, 1539. The eldest child of the wealthy and highly-respect nobleman Járngrímur Brandulfr, Adelfrida was heir to a house possessing both ancient roots and proud standing. Járngrímur was a decorous, rational man, a staunch royalist, and a somewhat distant father who raised his children with careful precision, but little affection. Nevertheless, Adelfrida idolised him and was the very image of the dutiful daughter, obeying his edict that she act as a guardian and watchful eye over her two younger siblings, Bjollgrímur and Adele.

The siblings were inseparable, and lived a life of ease and privilege until the chaotic events of King Theodoric’s reign. Shortly after Theodoric began his persecution of the monks of the Fist of Rhalgr, Adelfrida’s mother, Adelheid, was charged with aiding enemies of the monarch and so was sentenced to public execution.
</spoiler>

===''1558 - 1559 : Rebellion''===
<br>
<spoiler>Thus the Brandulfr siblings fell in with the rebellion against Theodoric, which culminated in the end of his reign as the Garlean Empire moved in to Ala Mhigo. While many at that time viewed the Empire as liberators, this misconception was quickly dispelled when Garlean forces began to purge the city of its nobility and coerce Ala Mhigans into what was essentially slavery. The Brandulfrs then found themselves exiled from the city their family had called home for centuries.
</spoiler>
===''1559 - 1572 : The Resistance Cycles''===
<br>
<spoiler>Initially, Adelfrida and her siblings did not move west into Eorzea as many of those first refugees did. Instead, embittered by the loss of her home and way of life, Adelfrida succumbed to the urgings of her brother and joined the resistance movement against Garlemald. Those early days of the resistance saw some victories. But young Adelfrida was driven by a burning hatred and rage toward the Imperial invaders who she believed had taken her life from her.

Cycles passed, and still the family lingered in Gyr Abania, fighting Imperial forces wherever they found them, raiding their supply shipments and seizing whatever Garlean weapons and technology they could. The siblings fell in with a group of resistance fighters led by Dreki Ironmantle, an ex-captain in Theodoric's royal guard. Eventually, their accumulated, albeit modest, successes against the Imperials earned a reputation for the Brandulfr siblings, who by this point had been affectionately dubbed ‘The Pack’ by their comrades. But it was Adelfrida in particular who became something of the local resistance’s darling; with her flame-red hair, her youthful energy and ardent devotion to the cause, as well as her savagery on the field of battle, she and Dreki's company became rallying figures for several of the small resistance groups still remaining in the mountainous regions of Gyr Abania.

The resistance’s petty victories in the skirmishes against the Garleans in and around Gyr Abania did not satisfy Adelfrida. As the cycles passed and the Ala Mhigans seemed to grow no closer to retaking their home, her rage intensified steadily. It called for a blow to be struck against the Imperials in the region the likes of which they could never recover from. Eventually the resistance planned an operation with the potential to do just that.

Under Adelfrida’s leadership, a small unit of resistance fighters risked all to embark upon the mission to destroy a nascent Castrum in the Highlands. But in her hatred and zeal, Adelfrida could not anticipate the catastrophic consequences ahead of her.</spoiler>

===''1572 - Present Day : Without a Cause''===

<br>
<spoiler>''"... I've nothing else tae do. When I finally let go, I thought I'd be free.

''Instead I floundered, and felt lost without anything tae strive for, however hopeless.''

'' I can't be one of these aimless adventurers, content tae fight for fame and fortune. 'Tis meaningless tae me."''</spoiler>

Bryn's identity as Adelfrida Brandulfr has been a closely-guarded secret for the last twenty Cycles, a necessary measure to avoid the Empire's hunting. If you intend to have your character allude to Bryn's history or identity, or her status as a fugitive, please speak to me first.

The correct pronunciation of her name would be "Breen-HILL-d' Voolf." The R should be briefly rolled, if possible. However, Bryn usually introduces herself simply as "Brin Wolf", as so few people are able to pronounce her name properly.

Guarded yet amiable, she appears a capable warrior and mercenary.

However, this Highlander is more than she seems.

<div><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="color:#2C3539"><span style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 16px">
=== '''♦ General''' ===

Leon was initially a tribal Keeper of the Moon, until tragic events forced him to become a knight and shed the name Rewo'a Vhaaza. He was trained as a knight since he was 8 years old, leading a life of endless fighting and toil. He cares for those around him very much, to the point of being willing to risk his life for them with no hesitation, the same can be said for killing. Leon is often depressed and feels helpless beneath his veneer of chivalry and normalcy.

Brother to [[Rei'li Niraj]].

=== '''♦ Appearance''' ===

Leon is a regular sized Miqo'te, he has very well defined muscles due to his life of martial training. He also has a white hair with a few black tufts. He often wears armor, even if only a bit of chain beneath his doublet. He has tarnished gold eyes, and has vestigial tribal tattoos on his cheeks, fading as he aged.

=== '''♦ Behaviour''' ===

Leon is often known as brash and reckless, for good reason. Leon often is the first into a fight and the last one out, he fights viciously to protect those dear to him. Outside of combat situations Leon is far more playful, he often jokes at his own, or others expense. He also tends to use honorifics when dealing with people, though he may drop them after he has grown sufficiently close to someone.

In rare instances where a fight is particularly crucial or enjoyable, Leon begins to grin and laugh as the fight rages on. This is effectively Leon being taken over by the bloodlust instilled in him by his first mentor.

<big>'''Ghost of The Past:'''</big> A log of past events in Leon's life that were important for him.

Leon earned the slightly infamous title ''The White Wolf of'' during his efforts five years ago in the war against Garlemald. The tale of the White Wolf, sung by a scant few bards who want not for gil, tells tales of his exploits in the battles. The tales also tell of him killing Eorzeans and sacrificing anything, even his fiancée to try and win the war for Eorzea. As the five years passed, the White Wolf of the Black Shroud eventually turned into a cautionary tale of overzealous patriotism and the dangers of enjoying warfare. The tale was also blown out of proportions, portraying the White Wolf as a single man, instead of a unit of highly trained soldiers, and telling accounts of him killing countless Garleans. Any man who was in Carteneau or is well informed will quickly be able to debunk the tale.

<To be expanded>

<big>'''Wandering Blade:'''</big> Leon spent a bit over a year in a nomadic voyage across Eorzea, with the sole purpose of purging those he found evil. The underlying motive was to die in a blaze of glory, he had lost all of his brothers-in-arms during the siege of the fortress he called home. He traveled and fought day-in and day-out, attempting to find an enemy so great that it could give him the death he wanted. But that was not in the cards, as Leon eventually ran into [[Brynhilde Wulf]] in his travels, and she helped him out of a sticky situation. Leon thanked her and moved on, but little did he know that his involvment with her would only increase. He had heard of strange activity in Little Ala Mhigo, and enlisted with a group of skilled individuals to investigate the situation, this group was comprised of Brynhilde and the residents of Cliffperch. After the foray into the Sagolii, they eventually came across the reason for the odd events happening, a cultist was butchering the people around the area. When confronted by Leon, Brynhilde, [[Brave Horizon]], [[Shashato Shato]],[[Arcian Martell]] he summoned an Ahriman that attacked the investigators under the man's bidding. After this Leon was angry and confused, and with that he followed Bryn back to Cliffperch and questioning her about what had happened. Amidst that conversation was when he was discovered to be a Branded, much like the residents of Cliffperch. This gave him a cause worth fighting for, the cause of ruthlessly stamping out the weeds known as the Entudenin.

<big>'''Knight Errant:'''</big> Leon took advantage of his situation, a man with nothing to lose and very skilled at martial combat, and used it to the advantage of the Branded of Cliffperch. He was always the first into the fights if he could help it, always willing to sacrifice body and limb to protect the Branded, who had saved him from his previous death-seeking path. Leon was also a ruthless foe to the Entudenin, killing them without even the slightest bit of remorse, unfettered by the loss of their lives. And then Leon met a foes he couldn't hope to match up against, [[Varus Rosenthal]] the magus who possessed power that was beyond his understanding of combat, Leon never backed down however, and fought Varus on a few occasions. Leon eventually was angered by his helplessness, and his nightmares of Carteneau returned, all of his friends getting killed, if not by the Garleans, by Bahamut. This lit a fire in him, the determination to not let it happen a third time, and with that he left Cliffperch behind in search for the power he would need to protect those he loves and cared for. This would lead into the assault of the fortress he grew up in, the Lunar Ark. There he recovered the few remaining Allagan relics his order had, which he now wields.

During this timeframe Leon also joined the Stormguard, by coming across [[Moltove Mon'tova]] and eventually convincing him that the knight was a great combatant searching for a challange. There Leon ran into [[S'ereno Tia]], [[Camille Everardi]], [[Kylin Felstar]], [[Domri Blackblade]], [[Khuja'to Tayuun]], [[Keru Lowry]], and several other members of the Guard. Leon was skeptical of the Guard for several suns, until he finally saw their enemy, and the goal of the Guard. After the revelations that Leon had bore witness to, he decided that he would aid the Stormguard to the best of his abilities. After serving the Guard for around a moon Leon was admitted into their ranks as a Templar of Fortis. Shortly after that he had to leave on his journey to the Lunar Ark.

<big>'''Knight of Light:'''</big> Leon had returned to Cliffperch and Sanctum(The home of the Stormguard) with renewed strength and purpose. His first contact with his allies again was coming back to Cliffperch's lawn a dead man walking. There [[Kyraeth Vale]] nursed him back to health and became his confidant alongside [[X'Septha Dhen]]. After his return Leon spent a lot of time catching up to the new developments to both the Stormguard and the Branded. During this time Leon spent a lot of his time protecting Septha, who he grown fond of, and eventually fell in love with her. This led to a turn of events where he broke a blood oath he made to himself and went through a near-death experience, saved by Septha. His love for her eventually quelled from passion, to simply a need to protect her, even from himself. During this time Leon also adapted to his new set of skills, granted to him by wielding the relics of the Astral Knights of Dalamud. Leon also met an Au Ra , [[Izanami Stormcaller|Izanami "Mayon" Stormcaller]]. Leon saw potential in Mayon to reach, or surpass him. And so, while [[Dartanon Nobis|Draco Nobis]] teaches her, he tests her. Leon is attempting to strenghten her by putting her in situations where her fight or flight instincts kick in and there he measures her power and protects her in case she goes overboard. And then, in the 17th Sun of the Third Umbral Moon he recieved the letter from a benefactor in the Holy See of Ishgard, offering him a position as a dragoon.

==[[File:serpentleft.png|left|]] <div style="padding:10px 15px; background:#2C3539; font-size:20px; color:#ffffff">'''Combat'''</div> ==

Leon is a master at martial combat, due to most of his life revolved around it. His expertise is with swords, but is able to use any weapon with some degree of skill. He is also a journeyman polearm and dagger user.

Leon has lost his spear in recent incidents, and has decided to take up his longsword and claymore out of nessecity.

His combat style is one of unhesitating pressure, attempting to end it as soon as possible before his injuries become too prohibitive, this combat philosophy of his often leads to severe wounds.

Leon has lived through wounds that would surely kill a normal man. Falling fifty feet and landing on a pile of scrap metal, scorched by dragonfire, and marching for two days after being poisoned and with several arrows and spear wounds. These feats attest to his greatest talent, his unyielding tenacity to keep living, so that he will be able to lay his life on the line again.

Leon is also the only survivor of the Astral Knights of Dalamud, this fact means he holds one of the few Astral Rings, which tap into the Allagan Astral Array. This allows him to use powerful spells from the Third Astral Era, but the system has been damaged over the years, leading to the system almost always damaging the user when they use the spells.

{| class="wikitable collapsible"
! Spells:
|-
| Astral Haste: This spell taxes Leon's limbs a good deal, after half an hour of use would render Leon unable to move his limbs. This spell allows Leon to increase his speed even further, moving at speeds that would put him ahead of the vast majority of the denizens of Eorzea.
|-
| Astral Strengthening: This spell is very similar to Astral Haste, only for the purpose of increasing his already high strength to a point where he can evenly match a master pugilist in punching power(power alone, not technique).
|-
| Astral Lance: The Astral Lance is a last resort manuever for Leon, as it requires a good deal of preparation and concentration. The spell has severe backlash, damaging his arm to the point of rendering it immobile for days. The spell has enough raw power to make up for the damage caused to the user though, able to turn most foes into charred carcasses in smoldering craters.
|-
| Astral Teleport: A variant of the basic teleportation spell, a spell devised to make up for his inability to teleport using his own aether. Minor backlash.
|-
| Astral Armoire: Leon can imprint onto his items a rune, allowing him to summon them with only minor burns to his left hand in exchange.
|-
| Astral Barrier: A crafty spell that allows Leon to create a barrier shaped to his desire, the spell isn't so much blocking as it is gravitating the attacks or attackers away, the spell pressurizes his organs.
|-
| Astral Warding: This spell is a constant measure that Leon employs. It serves as a protective shield around his body, bolstering his defensive capabilities, but slowly taxing his body in the process. The Warding can be strenghtened or weakened at will, affecting the amount of damage it deals to his body in the process. Currently Leon is able to passively hold the warding for thirteen hours at minimal power, and two hours at maximum power.
|-
| Astral Mark: A spell that takes awhile to brand into the target. Once marked it allows the user to track the target, unless they cut off the area that has been marked, wait for a bit over a day, or get help from a magically adept person.
|-
| Hallowed Graveyard: One of Leon's most fearsome techniques, through clever use of aether and teleportation magicks, Leon is able to create a zone where he can effectively teleport within at will. This technique drains Leon to a great extent, used sparingly and exclusively against foes who are powerful enough to destroy or contain Leon with a few strikes.
|-
| Astral Blade: A technique much like the Astral Warding, it allows him to increase the range and increase the damage his blade can deal according to his will. This technique is less taxing when only shrouding the blade, but when expanded or manipulate it damages the tissues within his arm and also may set his hand ablaze if used to a great extent.
|}

Leon's body is uncannily resilient to damage, able to sustain life-threatening wounds and keep going. He also has the trait of being able to fully recover from most wounds he suffers. His strength and agility are on par with his endurance and tenacity, he is able to keep up with some wild beasts, and is strong enough to lift a Roegadyn, with a great deal of effort.

{| class="wikitable collapsible"
! Noteworthy Equipment:
|-
| Astral Longsword: Leon's weapon of choice. This sword is close to indestructible by non-aetheric means. This blade also has a hard time losing its edge, but it has happened several times due to extreme and improper use. This blade also serves as a secondary focus to keep Leon's spells from getting too out of hand. It also is able to store aether to a lesser extent.
|-
| Astral Ring: This ring allows Leon to draw white aether and weave powerful, but volatile spells.
|-
| Knight Commander's Curtana(Astral Claymore): '''Classified.'''
|-
| Darkmythrite Armor: A suit of armor that Leon had forged for an exorbitant amount of gil, the armor made of an alloy composed of Darksteel and Mythrite. The armor is very hardy and lightweight, affording Leon both mobility and protection. The armor is also enchanted with several spells and runes to protect the user from magical attacks.
|-
| Springblade: A sword crafted by an old friend of Leon's, the sword itself is roughly as sturdy as a regular tempered steel sword despite its construction, this is thanks to the alloy used in creating the blade.

<small>''"You may call me, Mayon."''</small>

Mayon (Izanami) arrived in Eorzea lost and freezing in the winter embrace of Coerthas. A rune had manifested itself on her back, left shoulder, and, as she began to fade into Coerthas' icy grip, she called out to a power she had never tapped before. Wrapped in the clothing of a thaumaturge, she was found nearly dying by [https://wiki.ffxiv-roleplayers.com/pages/Cecieroux_Ormesang Cecieroux Ormesang] as she had traveled for so long and from such a great distance and was soon joined by [https://wiki.ffxiv-roleplayers.com/pages/Dartanon_Nobis Draco Nobis] and the others who heard her call to pull her to a place called Cliffperch in Thanalan.

Since her arrival, Mayon has studied with Ser [https://wiki.ffxiv-roleplayers.com/pages/Dartanon_Nobis Draco Nobis] to learn swordsmanship as she struggles to be a useful part of her new family in Thanalan. Mayon has made several friends in Cliffperch but continues to feel herself inadequate to be a decent part of the group. As she learns more about the dangers that lurk in the lands she has called home, Mayon's resolve to become a force of destruction, greater than thaumaturgy could lend her, grows. Her fascination with dark aether and the greatsword that her father used to wield has drawn her into a frenzy of training. She is constantly setting herself lofty goals.

Mayon lays claim to being trained in divination but failing miserably. As a result she is rarely seen without a deck of divination cards that she was given as a child.

=== '''♦ History''' ===
</span></span><hr>
<br>
Izanami is the only daughter of the deceased warrior Yamagi Stormcaller and, his wife, the fortune teller Gyosei. Her only living relative is her uncle, a swordsman named Satori Stormcaller, who has since found his way to Eorzea. The name Stormcaller comes from Izanami's grandfather's flamboyant fighting style. Both Yamagi and Satori have set a standard of upholding the family name. Izanami aspires to be worthy of being a part of the Stormcaller line.

<br>
Khuja'sae is the fourth son of his mother and the youngest of all his siblings. The Fashonti family has lost many members from their trade of poaching and pillaging, but most members, including Khuja'sae's older brothers were lost during the calamity. The Fashonti clan is now operated by his eldest surviving sister who affectionately calls him, "wart" and dislikes his choice to pursue the life of a traveling bard. Khuja'sae had been the family's Redbird, or sniper in the trees. If someone were to interfere in a family operation, Khuja'sae was the one who would take them out with deadly precision.

<br>Khuja'sae's most recent rebellion to his sister's leadership was an operation where they were stealing an amulet from a traveler. The pay was abnormally high, and the family paid dearly for it. Netting three deaths and four injuries, the group could not stop the man until Khuja'sae tracked the traveler down and slit his throat and took the item for himself. When Khuja'sae's eldest sister asked for the item, Khuja refused and was kicked out of the clan. Khuja'sae had been tracked since he took the item. Thinking it was the Wood Wailers, Khuja'sae started working on a new identity, using his love and passion for music to lead a path forward. Through his actions, he was hired by Ser Leon to be Cliffperch's resident bard. Khuja'sae has not seen a hair of those who pursued him and has since been loving his freedom and new life.

=== '''♦ Behaviour''' ===
</span></font></span><hr>
<br>
Khuja keeps up an attitude of politeness. Unless he feels threatened, he would like to have others believe him to be little else than a misunderstood minstrel with a heart of gold. Occasionally, he can be caught off guard and give way to his slightly less refined manner of speaking. He enjoys calm days in the shade of a tree and slight, cool breezes.

==[[File:serpentleft.png|left|]] <div style="padding:10px 15px; background:#2C3539; font-size:20px; color:#ffffff">'''Combat'''</div> ==
Khuja'sae is no stranger to the bow, in his family he was given the rank Redbird and his job was to sit in the trees and attack anyone who would interfere in the family's operations. Khuja'sae specializes in multi-shot and rapid fire arrow work with deadly precision. He has studied anatomy of animals and humans to be able to pinpoint the best places to hit for desired results. To the Wood Wailers, Khuja'sae's work was known to be that of the "blood bird" that would commonly leave a casualty with an arrow in each eye, fired at the same time.

Khuja'sae is fairly good with a knife, being able to throw them with a fair amount of accuracy. He began this as an extension of his hobby crafting weapons and instruments out of wood.

== [[File:serpentright.png|left]]<div style="padding:10px 15px; background:#2C3539; font-size:20px; color:#ffffff">'''Tendencies'''</div> ==
Khuja'sae has a tendency of letting you only see the side of him he wants you to. He speaks politely to near everyone, claiming only to be a hopeful, poor, misunderstood bard. His trust is hard won and prying too close might introduce you to a much less nice side of the young man.
