Basics

Name: Zaeira Sntyrr (her legal last name is Mercer)

Nickname(s): Z, Ai

Age: Early 20s

Nameday: 13th Sun of the Fifth Umbral Moon

Sexuality: Pansexual

Guardian: Menphina, the Lover (often worships Oschon alongside her)

Appearance

Hair: Zaeira's natural color is a soft, deep brown, but it isn't uncommon for her to find stray white hairs throughout the fur of her tail. Those white hairs can also be found atop her head, but generally go unnoticed due to the purple dye that decorates the front and top of her mane. When she was younger and her hair longer, the waviness and kinkiness was far more apparent than now. Now that her hair is cut so close, it appears almost straight, but at close inspection and after a bit of growth the unruliness is still quite apparent.

Eyes: Sharp yellow, like a polished gil piece. Certain outfits will make them appear much paler, rather like a peeled banana.

Body: In a word, soft. While not quite fat, Zaeira has never been as thin as many other Miqo'te, her curves being hourglass yet padded and cheeks almost squirrel like. Her breasts, rump, and thighs have always been on the large side of plump, regardless of whether her training at the time was focused on magicks or physical combat. Naturally sharp nails tip her long fingers, fingers which are at least spared her body's squishy tendencies. As a child her mother would joke that if she spent her days holding onto her tail Zaeira would end up with one as long as her body; while not quite that long, it does stretch out to a decent length. Despite being a Keeper Zaeira's brown skin is almost sun-kissed, with freckles dotting across her face and body, only occasionally interrupted by stray scars, some forgotten from a playful childhood and some with teeth-clenching stories attached. Though Zaeira is not prone to wearing much make-up, she'll often decorate her plush, naturally red-ish lips with a variety of colors; her favorites are darker colors that make her sharp fangs look almost amusingly vicious.

Other: The middle of her lower lip is pierced and in it she wears a silver colored hoop. She has three piercings on each of her ears which she adorns with simple studs, though when dressing up she'll occasionally put fancier pieces in her first holes. A tiny triangular notch is missing from the tip of her right ear.

Personality

Overview: Many see Zaeira as being air-headed or especially simple, when in actuality she is quite intelligent and, due to being adopted at a young age into a family of wealthy elites and respected scholars, is rather cultured and brutally aware of herself and others. The inspiration of her birth mother and the atmosphere of cut-throat desire and lethal ambitiousness within her adoptive family are what lead Zaeira to try and be as kind as possible, living a care-free life that flows like water off a leaf after a storm. Guided, yet unhurried. Always willing to lend an ear or a hand, she does not expect everyone she meets to be her friend, but she'll treat them as one all the same.

Alignment: Neutral good

Odd quirks:

• Even when terribly angry she will continue to laugh and smile

Skills of note:

• Strong magic abilities
• Well versed in cooking and sewing
• Skilled at hand to hand combat and dagger/knife usage

Flaws of note:

• Claustrophobia
• Because of her overtly cheery lifestyle she is prone to sudden bursts of violence (i.e. When on a walk with a friend they ran into a stream they had to cross, but rather than simply wading through, Zaeira exploded a large nearby boulder to create smaller rocks that they could hop on)

Weaknesses

• A total lightweight when drinking anything stronger than wine
• Suffers from PTSD because of her elder brother's treatment of her
• Her skills with physical weapons range from below average to laughably poor for everything except daggers/knives. Her worst weapon is the lance, while her best (after daggers) is the sword, but even with a sword she is quite clumsy compared to her other skills. She hopes to find tutors to teach her, starting with the rapier, as she's heard fascinating things about the Red Mages

• Whatever book she is currently reading
• A dagger she keeps strapped and holstered to her thigh

OOC Stuff

I'm a novice to RPing in general and a complete newb to RPing in an mmo, so please forgive my mistakes and delays.

I'm on Balmung and am a PST player. Currently I'm just getting back into FFXIV (returning 1.0 player) so I'm also a newb in that aspect. I am happy to interact OOCly with anyone that wants to.

Author's Notes

These are just things for me to remember about the character but they may be cool for you to know OOCly

• Goals

      ~Life's: To be happy and at peace 
      ~Longterm: `Make Alwyn suffer and Everard apologize 
                 `Complete her mother's Experiences/Travel Wishlist 
      ~Current: ??? 

• Because of her adoptive family she is actually quite wealthy, however she prefers to not use any gil she has not made herself in an attempt to distance herself from her father. She will occasionally dip in if she has no other choice, but due to her current sources of income (see below) her pockets are not often so light she can't enjoy a good splurge now and then
• While she hates her eldest brother and despises her father, she truly does love some of the rest of her family. While many were raised to be cutthroats and just generally unpleasant, there are those that she knows are good people and considers them to be true family. I.e. her older brother, an aunt (Agatha Cartwright), two cousins (Theobald Carter, Odette Waller), and a handful of others.
• Very relaxed in her speech. Is only formal when addressing someone of especially notable position or if at an event that requires formal appearance
• When they traveled, her mother would earn gil through healing creatures, both tamed and wild, which is where Zaeira's love of animals came from
• Because cheery-in-the-face-of-all-things behavior is a learned/forced thing for her, Zaeira does her best to practice habits that help in maintaining her cheery self. Besides meditation her self-care routine can come off as being lazy to some
• Sources of income: `Main: Investments (by combining some education from her youth with advice doled out by her more economically inclined clients she is able to maintain a steady stream of income) and accompanying adventurers/mercenaries/travelers/etc. as their healer (sometimes she charges for her services upfront, other times she'll take her cut from whatever the job returned, and still other times she'll attend simply for her own benefit and will waive her fee)

                   `Other: healing pets, mounts, work creatures, etc. (her fees are based on the ability of her clients to pay) and acting as an escort/entertainer to wealthy members of society (or just generally anyone who can afford her prices)
