This train of thinking as also made her open-minded, willing to at least lend an ear out to opposing sides before making her choice. And with this comes a belief in freedom, to be capable of being the master of our fates. To her, this is even more important in knowing what is right and what is wrong: such things in her eye are merely subjective things, after all.</div> |
| + | |||
| + | ::<div style="font-family:Arial; font-size:12px; color:#000;">And yet, these are things she tends to ignore regardless. Lycelle care about people moreso than her own ideals, and she is perfectly willing to follow the people she cares about without knowing of the full extent of their actions. On her own, Lycelle isn’t a good person – she doesn’t care enough about morals to be one on her own. Fortunately, she happens to often befriend individuals of pure intention and she truly cares for them. Such friends end up becoming her voices of reason.</div> | ||
| + | |||
| + | ::<div style="font-family:Arial; font-size:12px; color:#000;">Such is her paradox. Logic may be her pursuit in life, but it also hinders her. </div> | ||
| + | |||
| + | ::<div style="font-family:Arial; font-size:12px; color:#000;">This is also the reason why she is an adventurer and not merely a researcher on a desk job – it is because she feels the most alive in the face of certain danger, when she might have to rely on intuition alone. As much as she loves discovering new ideas and exploring new sites, she also likes the moments where she could just shut her brain down, and let her experience decide on what to do.</div> | ||
| + | |||
| + | ::<div style="font-family:Arial; font-size:12px; color:#000;">She abhors a life without change, because she believes that one must always strive to be a better version of themselves in order to truly live – it just happens that her preferred methods often put her life in the line. But the end result is exhilarating, to survive such results prove one’s capabilities and what more they can achieve.</div> | ||
| + | |||
| + | ::<div style="font-family:Arial; font-size:12px; color:#000;">Knowledge and power: these are Lycelle’s ambitions. For her, they are one and the same – in order to obtain a true power one must also know the means to control it, or it is no power at all. This all stems from a traumatic incident in her childhood, where her lack of mastery over a subject has costed the properties of many. From then on she knows that she has already been gifted of a terrible power: she has no choice but to learn how to use it.</div> | ||
| + | |||
| + | ::<div style="font-family:Arial; font-size:12px; color:#000;">Despite of these events, she is not afraid of forbidden spells or of the notion of going too far in search for more power – in fact, she does not believe that any form of magic must be considered to be absolutely forbidden. With the proper preparations and the proper knowledge, even a spell that could wrought the seven hells may be used for the betterment of Eorzea. With this philosophy, she never suppresses her thirst for power, always inching closer towards danger.</div> | ||
