Gender Female Race Au Ra Clan Xaela Citizenship None, nomadic of the Ejinn tribe. Age Twenty-two Occupation Huntress Deity Dusk Mother Association Order of Ouroboros <<OoO>> GENERAL ARSHTAT EJINN is a young Xaela huntress of a small branch of the Ejinn tribe. She now has found herself in the strange world of Eorzea in search of a brother corrupted by a mysterious amulet. Far from home, Arshtat knows there is little chance of her returning to Othard and so she struggles to understand this new place. But that, she has decided, can wait until her brother is safe and free once more. Given Name: Arshtat Ejinn Aliases/Nicknames: She has not been given any yet that she knows. Current Residence: Currently keeping a room at the Obsidian Serpent, Goblet Ward 10, Plot 12. Marital Status: Single Sexuality: Heterosexual Religion: Follows traditional Xaelic beliefs of the land, as well as the Dusk Mother. APPEARANCE Height: 4 fulms, 6 ilms - Arshtat is extremely small, even by female Au Ra comparisons. Weight: 85 ponz - Arshtat is extremely lightweight and flexible. Body: Arshtat is built small and petite but with well-defined curves. Complexion: Despite life living near water and in the sun of Othard, Arshtat's skin has maintained a creamy and pale complexion that is prized in her tribe. Face: Her face is delicately heart-shaped with oval eyes, usually framed with a rust-colored powder used for decoration. Her eyes are slightly down-turned and she usually wears a serene expression. Hair: Arshtat's hair is long, nearly to the back of her knees.It is usually tied back in a long braid. It is naturally a pale grey-purple. Fashion: Keeping to her roots, and what she was able to carry with her, Arshtat likes tribal vestments and silks. She prefers things that are lightweight, that do not bog her down in water. She generally has little issue showing skin, as it was actually quite common in the summer's of Othard for her kind to wear little to nothing. PERSONALITY Demeanor: Arshtat tends to be a quiet, calm individual that is content to watch rather than take part. Living in the tribe her whole life, where much of her decisions were decided for her by her father, she has a habit of submissively following others and rarely speaking up for herself. Those who knew her in the tribe, would often describe her as a gentle soul, with a passion for those she loved. Her quiet nature often also betrays her skill with a bow, and the hunt. Quirks: She fidgets almost constantly. Since coming to Eorzea, Arshtat has been on edge for many reasons. She worries, almost excessively, about nearly everything. Intelligence: Arshtat is well-versed in things that were commonplace among her people. Many of the people she has come into contact with in Eorzea believe she is not very intelligent, being that she still struggles with the common tongue, and cannot read or write it. While being in Eorzea has improved her speaking, turns of phrase, expressions, innuendo, and other such things are often lost on her. LIKES ■ Water ■ Rain ■ Swimming ■ Fish ■ Herbal tea ■ Flowers and gardening ■ Working with her hands ■ Singing and music ■ The sound of the wind ■ Feeling useful DISLIKES ■ Overly hot weather ■ Violence ■ The Void ■ Being away from her tribe ■ The thought of losing her brother ■ Being homesick ■ Feeling useless STRENGTHS ■ Excellent aim with a bow ■ Stealth or being quiet ■ Flexible and adaptable ■ Good with her hands ■ Supportive ■ Hunting and tracking WEAKNESSES ■ Naive ■ Does not fully understand common tongue ■ Cannot read or write ■ Trusts too easily ■ Knows little about magic ■ Unfamiliar with Eorzea as a whole COMBAT Style: Arshtat is a trained huntress and provider for her tribe. While she can handle a spear well enough, most of that talent was used for fishing on the rivers of her homeland. Her bow allows her the ease of maintaining a distance from the target with a practiced aim of someone who has been handling the weapon from a young age. Specialization: Her bow is thought as an extension of herself, finding marks in the prey animals of Othard to feed her kin. Arshtat is extremely quick to draw and has excellent aim even at long distances. (Archer) Strengths: With excellent aim and a lifetime of practice, Arshtat is extremely well versed in the use of long distance tracking and fighting. She has knowledge of weak points as well as where to strike an opponent to disable them, rather than kill them. With the threat of invading tribes ever-present in Othard, to let her skills slip would have been foolish. Weaknesses: Arshtat is young, and while she has been hunting for most of her life, most of her encounters have been just that: on the hunt. Firing an arrow at an animal is vastly different than at another person. And while she has had a few run-ins with hostile Xaela, she lacks combat experience. Armor: Being nomadic and lively largely on the water, Arshtat has adapted her tribe's limited wardrobe. She wears lightweight fabrics that do not weigh her down in water. Being the daughter of one of the tribe's respected males, she was often adorned with gold and other finery common in Othard. Much of what she took to Eorzea was what she could carry on her, so she has adopted some of the more Ul'dahn fashions to fit in more. BACKSTORY RECENT HISTORY RELATIONSHIPS RELATIONSHIP STATUS LEGEND ♥ Romantic Attraction – ♥ Physical Attraction – ♥ Platonic Love – $ Business – ✝ Deceased – ✔ Positive – ✖ Negative – ● Neutral – � Unsure FAMILY & NPCs LIST OF FAMILY MEMBERS Expand Bahkt Ejinn, Father. ( ♥ ) "I am sorry father, but... I must help him. I must." Arshtat's father is a well-respected and elevated man of status within the tribe. He made many of the decisions, including when to stop and when the tribe should move on. When his only son turned on the tribe unexpectedly, he was shamed, but held firm. He wishes his son dead, and has disowned Arshtat for trying to find him once more. Expand Enkhtuya Ejinn, Mother. ( ♥ ) "I miss you and father more each sun, but... I know you would disapprove of what I've done. I hope one day to be forgiven." Arshtat and her mother were quite close. It was her mother who taught her nearly everything she knows, from hunting, to cooking, to tending crops, to weaving and sewing. Her mother was sure to groom her to be a good wife someday, and to make her father proud. She forbade Arshtat from following after her brother, and so she knows she now has her mother's ire. Expand Vaathabat Ejinn, Brother. ( ♥ ) "Where are you, my brother... please be safe. I will find you." Arshtat was extremely close to her brother. She remembers him as a gentle soul with a spark that would make her smile even on the darkest of days. He was extremely protective of her. Being that magic was so mistrusted in her tribe, Vaathabat was forced to keep his powers a secret, but would delight Arshtat with them when asked. Near his 27th summer, he found a mysterious amulet at the bottom of the river which seemingly drove him mad and he left the tribe. LIST OF NPCs Expand Tuvaak Ejinn, Tribe Member. ( ✔ ) "You would not understand... just please look after my father and mother." Tuvaak was the young Xaela Arshtat was promised to as a wife by her father. While she did not dislike the man, she knew little about him other than he was one of the more skilled fighters his age within the tribe. She is unsure if he ever had feelings for her, but she regrets not being able to fulfill what she was promised to. PLAYER CHARACTERS LIST OF PLAYER CHARACTER RELATIONS Expand Oyuu Dataq ( ♥✔ ) "There are no words in our tongue, or this one to express my thanks to you..." Oyuu was the first of her kind Arshtat grew close to after coming to Eorzea. While the other seems more at peace in this new place than she is, they often share memories of their old home. She greatly admires him and his strength. She trusts him, and knows if anyone is to help her find her brother, it will be him. Expand J'takra Tia ( ✔ ) "I fear I don't have a word to properly...describe Master J'takra." Arshtat is not particularly close with J'takra, the Miqo'te actually both confuses her and terrifies her. She is more familiar with him because he is Oyuu's partner, as well as a talented mage of the Order and they have worked together. He has an explosive personality, but has not done anything to warrant her mistrust. RUMORS COMMON RUMORS These are easily overheard, so feel free to use! ■ "..." - ...
