==Biographical==
'''Name''': Rievienne Sureaux [Reh-vee-en Sur-oh]

'''Nickname(s)''': Reave (a common mispronunciation of her name that seemed to stick)

'''Sex''': Female

'''Age''': 25 years old

'''Nameday''': 17th Sun of the 3rd Umbral Moon, 1552

'''Occupation''': Self-employed

'''Sexuality''': Pansexual

'''Alignment''': True Neutral

===Appearance===
'''Height''': Approximately 5'8

'''Weight''': Average

'''Hair''': Her hair is a warm plum color, with light grey-blue highlights. Having no time to deal with long hair, Rievienne prefers to keep it short and mostly pinned back.

'''Eyes''': Her eyes are a light, mossy green, with a hardness to them similar to an angry coeurl.

'''Body''': Similar to most Elezen Rievienne is long and slender, and her frequent explorations into the unknown in search of material has allowed her to keep her body fit and in shape, if a bit curvy.

'''Skin and markings''': Her skin holds a natural tan and boasts many small scars spread plentifully about her form. On occasions that she decides to don a shirt rather than a robe, one may be able to glimpse what looks like a disaster zone of scars on her left wrist that trails slightly onto the back of her hand and is assumed to stretch upward to an unknown length; she has never confirmed the existence of such a thing.

'''Clothing and Apparel''': Prefers to stick to the classic mage robes in nearly all situations, believing them to be more "practical" than any other outfit she may own.

===Personality===
Rievienne is a brilliant Elezen, but she suffers painfully from an inferiority-complex that drives most of her actions and gives her a mean stubborn streak. Fiercely dedicated to her work she rarely associates with anyone she believes won't actually further her research or skill. When first met Rievienne comes off as cold, aloof, and haughty. This continues for the entire relationship if you fail to garner her respect or kindness (as nonexistent as they may seem). In all reality Rievienne is simply shy and desperate to reach her goals, believing that people will only get in her way or try to inhibit or steal her work; she realizes this, but refuses to wait for others to catch up to her if they can't on their own. Despite her brilliance Revienne [furious scratching]; believed to be caused by [more furious scratching].

'''Likes''': Tinkering, reading, studying, practicing magic, research, alchemy, background noise (and lots of it), waterfalls, music of all kinds, breaking things in order to see how they work, magitek and machina, the twilight hours, snow, cookies, strategy games, animals

'''Dislikes''': Idiots, braggarts, those without manners, any alcohol stronger than wine, those that harass the weak, being spoken to without prior invitation, thunder storms, onions, lazing about, mud

'''Odd quirks''':
*When distracted (either due to anger, confusion, or being wrapped up in another plan) she tends to walk into walls, hard
*Has the bad habit of breaking her glasses when annoyed if she is wearing them
*Despite showing immense physical strength in fits of anger she cannot wield a weapon (other than her book or wand) without hurting herself or those within a 10 foot radius

'''Skills''':
*Highly practiced in the Arcane arts and Thaumaturgy
*Skilled in all manners of crafting except woodworking and leatherworking; excels particularly in alchemy
*Good at fixing and sometimes creating mechanical things (i.e. machina and airships)
*Seems to have a secret tongue when it comes to animals

'''Flaws''': Introverted and tends to distance herself from others, allows her pride to keep her from asking for help or admitting when she needs it, her inferiority-complex may cause her to act rashly, absolutely awful in physical forms of combat, easily enraged by idiots

==History==
Rievienne was born into a house of scientists and scholars, all excelling marvelously in their respective fields. From the beginning only the best was expected from her and she always tried to reach her greatest potential; being born shorter than most already put her at a severe disadvantage as far as her parents were concerned. Though she poured her all into her studies Rievienne couldn't help but love and be distracted by the wonders of magic, what she could create and destroy all in the wave of her hand. Eventually her parents grew tired of her lackadaisy attitude towards real scientific studies and they gave up on her, preferring to treat her like the disappointment she was. Rievienne couldn't handle being so worthless in the eyes of the ones that brought her life, and she immediately set out to acheive all she could in her favorite scientific field; magitek and machina called to her like no other. She conducted experiments and worked in secret, hoping she could come up with something that would truly make her the envied prodigy of the family; she had heard about the magitek infused soldiers, and she couldn't resist. Instead, suddenly one day she was cast out, her father having come home bruised and bloody and roaring about his insolent Garlean-minded daughter. Her entire family turned on her then, and she fled.

Rievienne was hurt and angry, knowing that she was better than what they knew and dead-set on proving that. In order to escape the leering, disgusted hisses of her family she changed her name and made it her goal in life to become the most respected scientist of her age no matter where it took her.

*Note: Rievienne did not make the five year jump from the Battle of Cartenau-forward because she refused to participate in the fighting. As a result of Bahamut's fury the estate in which she was living in at the time was destroyed and she lost much of her work. The next five years were spent rebuilding her library of information.

==Who is she?==
'''Name''': Zaeira Sntyrr [Zy-ra Sin-tear]

'''Nickname(s)''': Amaranthine (bequeathed by her), Ai, Snatcher

'''Age''': 22 years old

'''Sex''': Female

'''Nameday''': 13th Sun of the 1st Umbral Moon, 1555

'''Occupation''': Freelancer; spends too much time focusing on adventure and discovery to hold down a real job for long

'''Sexuality''': Heterosexual

'''Alignment''': Chaotic Good

===Appearance===
[To be updated once I've finalized her appearance at release]

'''Height''': Just slightly above average for a Miqo'te

'''Weight''': Around average for her height and age

'''Hair''': ~To be determined~

'''Eyes''': ~To be determined~

'''Body''': ~To be determined~

'''Skin and markings''': ~To be determined~

'''Clothing and Apparel''': Prefers to wear comfortable attire that breathes easily and allows her to move unrestricted, though will wear fancy jewelry if she can get her hands on any pieces.

===Personality===
Zaeira is an easy-going individual that is highly prone to wandering off on her own if left unsupervised. Having been born and raised in a traditional Miqo'te tribe-setting Zaeira tends to misunderstand what may be obvious to the every-day adventurer or citizen and usually draws conclusions based on her instincts rather than social conduct; even though most would identify her as a simpleton, she is actually quite learned and can enjoy a few (ton of) good books. Though her tribe failed to instill the "normal" social graces within her, it did give Zaeira a passionate loyalty for her allies and friends and a fierce protectiveness of anyone she believes is and was just in their actions, even if it means taking a few hits on their behalf. Though, due to her will to protect her friends and those of quality Zaeira is very susceptible to betrayal and has more than a few times ended up lost and hurt due to giving too much of her loyalty. As open and friendly as Zaeira is with her companions, when in the presence of strangers she does not immediately perceive as joyous, kind, or weaker than herself she is known to become quiet and rather bland, moving to distance herself from the possible "threats". If these individuals or any creatures do indeed turn out to be threats, Zaeira becomes vicious and completely cold, apathetic to those deemed to be "lesser beings" through their actions. Having spent a few years working in the more "unsavory" parts of the underground businesses Zaeira doesn't mind breaking rules that she may normally strongly agree with if it means getting something she wants, but knows when to sit back rather than charge ahead (if her emotions aren't clouding her judgment of course).

'''Likes''': Reading, learning, training, joking with her friends, quiet times, the cold, food, exploring, dancing, swimming, "sneaking" items away from people

'''Dislikes''': The heat, being called stupid, yarzans, "fancy-village" rules, when people pull her ears or tail, lectures, being on a ship for more than 1-2 hours, the prospect that she will be unable to help someone close to her, talk-a-lot-know-nothings/fakes (people and objects), those who refuse to stick up for themselves (and can if they tried) when they are in a situation they don't like

'''Odd quirks''':
*Stutters when in an excited or riled up mood
*When feeling annoyed, jittery, or just plain bored Zaeira has the tendency to...bite things

'''Skills''':
*Basic healing skills (retained from when she was a healer-in-training)
*Highly skilled in archery, hand-to-hand combat, and hunting/scavenging
*Sewing and other seamstress duties
*A knack for book and paper work (though if it is a great amount of work do not be surprised to see tiny bites taken out of a few pages)

'''Flaws''': Not well versed in some aspects of social life and may offend those not used to her seemingly rude comments, gets sea-sick if on a ship for an extended amount of time, a terrible procrastinator if not interested enough in something, a bit of a kleptomaniac (will return snatched items to friends however), overly open and trusting of those she feels are good people, prone to allowing her emotions to cloud her judgment, absolutely terrible at any kind of handiwork outside of sewing

==Summary of the Past==
===Her youth===
Zaeira was born as the youngest of three into a Keeper of the Moon tribe that lived reclusively in the Twelveswood, following old traditions and living exclusively off the land. It was her mother that tended to all the wounds of the tribe, both emotional and physical, giving Zaeira many opportunities to expand her mind through reading books and learning through the minds and experiences of others. Though it was customary that the youngest daughter of a healer follow in her mother's footsteps, and despite the love she felt for her mother and tribe, Zaeira could never bring herself to fully dedicate her studies towards becoming the next healer, much to the aggravation of her aunt, the leader of the tribe. Zaeira was much too "wild" to live the soft life of a healer, preferring to spend her time out exploring the Twelveswood, learning about the creatures and fauna, hunting, fighting, and living as the warriors of her tribe did.

It was the day after Zaeira's 17th nameday, the day she was meant to take on the title of 'Healer' alongside her mother that the chieftess' patience wore out and Zaeira was forced to choose between the life of a healer, or be turned away for her insolence. It was no difficult decision for the youth. With the blessings of her mother and sisters in her heart Zaeira set out that night into the vast wild that is the Black Shroud, accompanied by three friends of separate families she had made in her earlier years, intent on conquering the world and its beasts together, as adventurers.

===She won't live under another's boot===
The small band of companions embraced their new freedom as a newborn would its first gulp of air, open and ready for everything they never knew before. Too unskilled to easily make money and moving to frequently to ever hold down jobs the group mostly survived by stealing and hunting for their food and clothing. Though it was a struggle Zaeira was never deterred by this difficult living condition, equating the difficulty to having taken on the life of an adventurer.

Their wild freedom was cut short however when the group was betrayed by the greediest member, more keen on making gil than exploring with old friends. Forced along with the other two poor souls with her into working under a ruthless midlander, acting as "collectors" and brutes for his gambling rings and fixed fights, Zaeira grew into a cold recluse. Was it not for the sacrifice of a dear friend, Zaeira would have remained dead to the world, too broken to fight. But no, Ihri, the youngling's eldest friend, was too proud to be shackled and forced into harming the weak or stupid, and ended up killed for her insolence. It was the push Zaeira needed to break the chains of the weighed down her friend and herself.

Once free, Zaeira and her final partner agreed to go their separate ways, planning to keep in touch with letters but needing to find their way in the world through their own means. With a renewed vigor the once more free Miqo'te set out to continue her adventures.

*Ilhri Monbec: A female Keeper of the Moon that set out with and acted as the leader of Zaeira's small group, being the oldest and most put together at 24 years of age. Eventually she died at the hands of their "master" because of her insolence, age 27.

*A knack for book and paper work (though if it is a great amount of work do not be surprised to see tiny bites taken out of a few pages)

'''Flaws''': Not well versed in some aspects of social life and may offend those not use to her seemingly rude comments, gets sea-sick if on a ship for an extended amount of time, a terrible procrastinator if not interested enough in something, a bit of a kleptomaniac (will return snatched items to friends however), overly open and trusting of those she feels are good people, prone to allowing her emotions to cloud her judgment, absolutely terrible at any kind of handiwork outside of sewing

==Summary of the Past==
===Her youth===
Zaeira was born as the youngest of three into a Keeper of the Moon tribe that lived reclusively in the Twelveswood, following old traditions and living exclusively off the land. It was her mother that tended to all the wounds of the tribe, both emotional and physical, giving Zaeira many opportunities to expand her mind through reading books and learning through the minds and experiences of others. Though it was customary that the youngest daughter of a healer follow in her mother's footsteps, and despite the love she felt for her mother and tribe, Zaeira could never bring herself to fully dedicate her studies towards becoming the next healer, much to the aggravation of her aunt, the leader of the tribe. Zaeira was much too "wild" to live the soft life of a healer, preferring to spend her time out exploring the Twelveswood, learning about the creatures and fauna, hunting, fighting, and living as the warriors of her tribe did.

It was the day after Zaeira's 17th nameday, the day she was meant to take on the title of 'Healer' alongside her mother that the chieftess' patience wore out and Zaeira was forced to choose between the life of a healer, or be turned away for her insolence. It was no difficult decision for the youth. With the blessings of her mother and sisters in her heart Zaeira set out that night into the vast wild that is the Black Shroud, accompanied by three friends of separate families she had made in her earlier years, intent on conquering the world and its beasts together, as adventurers.

===She won't live under another's boot===
The small band of companions embraced their new freedom as a newborn would its first gulp of air, open and ready for everything they never knew before. Too unskilled to easily make money and moving to frequently to ever hold down jobs the group mostly survived by stealing and hunting for their food and clothing. Though it was a struggle Zaeira was never deterred by this difficult living condition, equating the difficulty to having taken on the life of an adventurer.

Their wild freedom was cut short however when the group was betrayed by the greediest member, more keen on making gil than exploring with old friends. Forced along with the other two poor souls with her into working under a ruthless midlander, acting as "collectors" and brutes for his gambling rings and fixed fights, Zaeira grew into a cold recluse. Was it not for the sacrifice of a dear friend, Zaeira would have remained dead to the world, too broken to fight. But no, Ihri, the youngling's eldest friend, was too proud to be shackled and forced into harming the weak or stupid, and ended up killed for her insolence. It was the push Zaeira needed to break the chains of the weighed down her friend and herself.

Once free, Zaeira and her final partner agreed to go their separate ways, planning to keep in touch with letters but needing to find their way in the world through their own means. With a renewed vigor the once more free Miqo'te set out to continue her adventures.
