P E R S O N A L I T Y

Despite being a very passionate woman, Vervara has a certain fear of losing control that she cannot seem to shake as the years pass. She is certainly more comfortable in her skin after seeing the ways of the world, how things are not so cut and dry, but old habits die hard. As such, when outer stimuli has not coaxed her otherwise, she appears sedate, her smiles are muted, quiet, and there is a certain air about her that suggests she may just vanish. She doesn't find it difficult to remain this way, and indeed she does not think about it, but as any close friend or attractive stranger can attest, her confidence bubbles beneath the surface and, whether she feels inviting or ready for a standoff, it won't take much to unleash it. She is, afterall, only hyuran.

A P P E A R A N C E

Vervara stands at 5 Fulm 4 Ilm and cuts an apparently soft—and comfortable—figure. Though she does not want for muscle or calluses, her shortcomings begging that she never get particularly lazy, recent years have found her a bit less strict with her diet. She is possessed of red hair, bottle green eyes and tanned skin, long of limb and expressive enough to make up for her recent withdrawn tendencies. She has inherited quite the maternal bearing.

If Vervara has any markings they would not be seen except by a lover or a close friend she might share a bath with--an entirely possible occurrence given that she is an unabashed sort. The woman, perhaps after some habit of at least attempting to contain herself, near to always dresses conservatively unless some venture or fancy begs otherwise. Similarly, given that her sense of humor is very much that of wicked playfulness, it has been said that she appears deceptively sweet.

L I K E S ■ Sunbathing. But no one has ever seen her do it... Vervara is very fond of the outdoors, preferring a hike to shopping, a swim to shmoozing and a roll in the grass to the life of any courtier. She was perhaps too indulged as a child, and she has her suspicions concerning why, but this allowance to roam away from the city has given her fair endurance and a mind content to be alone with her thoughts. ■ Children. But she has none of her own... Nothing can bring a smile to her face like a child's mirth. Where appropriate she will treat any child as if they were her niece or nephew, with due respect and affection. However, on the occasion she becomes more involved in the life of the child she will often become a bit more austere, watching from afar but always available and ready to listen. ■ Tonberries. But so many think it's some uncouth desire... The woman has taken in a fair number of these creatures and they live with her of their own volition. They are self-sufficient, but too misunderstood, too few and too green to live as a true part of the Eorzean alliance, even in the capacity of a beast-tribe. Thus, they have a mutually beneficial relationship with Vervara.

D I S L I K E S ■ Leeches. In particular. Vervara doesn't have many qualms when it comes to creepy-crawlies, enjoying the company of many, but also not shying away from stepping on what needs to be stepped on. These suckers, though, can make the woman turn green and even squeal in terror. No one has asked why. ■ Bell Peppers. Ick. Despite liking spicy food in particular, and vegetables, bell peppers that haven't been cooked into oblivion repulse her. The simple smell of them will make her nose turn up in distaste. ■ Prejudice. Too easy? If you take the above into account, she doesn't have many deep-seeded hatreds that actually carry any true weight with regard to her character. Despite seeing some things in her life as a once-vagabond, she has really only developed some run-of-the-mill, cliche dislikes. She has been fortunate. Perhaps it could be said that she hates when others remind her she has been so lucky in her life. As if it doesn't mean as much in contrast.

Q U I R K S ■ Flirtatious. It gets her in hot water. Any who think to look into the habit will notice she tends to use her flirtatious side in self-defense, as if to disarm an opponent. Others have pointed this out to her, as if she didn't know, and she reacts in a rather nonplussed fashion as there is no lie in her flirtation. Friends are not exempt from certain attentions either. ■ Taking in Strays. Mom said no to her critters too often. Aside from her Tonberry friends, Vervara is very likely to take on causes and individuals that aren't doing so hot. She has realized there are some who do not want her as a champion, but sometimes she just can't help herself. ■ Over-eating. Are you going to finish that? She'd be the first one to tell you she can eat her feelings. What are you going to do about it?

She doesn't rightly know if this Scholar is dead. 1577 – Louizoix's effort to save the remaining combatants on the Certenaeu Flatts appears to have been successful.

Though she tends not to dwell on the "how" anymore, Vervara was outcast from the Conjurer's guild at the age of 16 and was permitted to leave home to try and figure out her lot in life. Her parents were heartbroken, but since the girl was given to wanderlust they feared the consequences of forcing her to run away and feel as though she could never return. It was not as easy as this brief mention would make it seem, but she left and did not look back for some time.

All the same, more than a decade later, Vervara found herself close to home and grudgingly complacent after years of uninhibited travel through Eorzea. The reason is wrapped up in the "why" of her expulsion from the Conjurer's guild. Only those very close to the woman will hear that pitiful story.

Despite the hand that Fate dealt her in younger years, Vervara has always felt a tie to her Patron Deity, Nymeia. Often speaking to the Goddess of Fate within her own mind, praying for all intents and purposes, she wills events to turn right for those about her and humbly requests the fickle Goddess to "let this go right," for herself. Perhaps hoping far too hard for something to believe in, any turn of events seems to solidify Vervara's devotion to the Goddess, and bring about a bit of introspection as to why. She sees a certain fairness in Nymeia's fickle weave, but tends to keep this to herself. Though some values of The Twelve are understood, she knows why some find them hard to stomach. This leads her to playing devil's advocate, so to speak, to point she almost convinces herself of being a non-believer when that is the farthest thing from the truth. ...Or perhaps that is merely a manipulation.

The capricious nature of her worship has found its way into other facets of Vervara's life. At this time? Just after she seemed to calm and find some bit of happiness settling in the Lavender Beds, Baelsar's Wall has fallen, making a certain hope bloom within her that she had only briefly felt possible in the past. Her sights are now set to travel once more.
