Alexaria Whiteraven is well-built and her skin is quite tan. People call her pretty, though she has a long scar starting between her eyes and leading down her right cheek. Her nose is fairly long, her eyes are a bright ocean-blue, and her facepaint matches this color. Her most distinguishing feature is her white hair.

Alexaria (who will answer to Alex) may seem at first turn to be cold, or possibly aloof. People who speak to her, however, tend to point out she's very intelligent and not unkind. Her face rarely displays any sort of emotion other than the occasional raised or furrowed brow. She speaks clearly and in an even tone. She is usually very polite and her manner suggests trained etiquette.

★Information here may seem limited. This is intentional. Alexaria does not share details about her life or history freely. Anything listed here is reasonably public knowledge. Many (if not most) rumors about her are false.

Basic Info

Alexaria shuns the spotlight. She prefers to listen and watch from nearby or afar, and works by herself. Even so, she is a naturally curious woman like the ravens of her family's namesake, often approaching complete strangers with questions -- sometimes very frank questions. Even so she will stress that her intentions are never malign, and will politely cease inquiry or leave if her presence is an annoyance.

Alexaria dresses in distinct, personally-made garments most of the time. As a seamstress, she tends to model her own work when in public. She prefers comfort above all else...comfort, in her case, tends to be very revealing outfits that highlight her physique. Even when covering herself, she tries to wear clothing that breathes well and can shed the heat generated by activity (exercise, labor or fighting).

★The following are things that could be picked up by simply observing Alexaria for a time, and are facets of her life she makes no secret of. Though she suppresses emotion, she still has preferences about how she spends her time and things she avoids.

LIKES ■ Exercise ■ Listening ■ Meditating ■ Books ■ Tailoring ■ The Color Blue ■ Learning

DISLIKES ■ Would-be Suitors ■ Tense Situations ■ Touching ■ Intolerance ■ Being a disappointment

OTHER ■ Will change clothing in front of anyone, anywhere ■ Takes her meals in her inn room ■ Vanities: Her body, her makeup, and dyeing her clothes

What could their relationship be?" - Haruki Aoyuki ■ "Some days I wonder exactly who Alex is, but then I think that I don't care. She's always been kind and lends a helpful ear." - Kage Kiryuu ■ "She says she doesn't like touching, but I think she just hasn't met the right person to touch" - Natalie Mcbeef ■ "I'm not convinced Alexaria has her philosophy figured out entirely, but she's the only person I know with the depth of mind to try as hard as she does. I've come to respect her thoughts even more than I respect that beautiful, cut, amazing, drool-worthy, marvelous, gorgeous, stunning body." - Chokho Viqqoh

RELATIONS ★ Excellent Standing     ★ Polite Standing     ● Acquaintance     ■ Wary ★ Natalie Mcbeef - One of the first people Alexaria met upon returning home to Ul'dah. Alexaria greatly respects Natalie, and offers the Miqo'te counsel whenever asked. She thinks Natalie's long hair looks wonderful. ★ Kage Kiryuu - Alexaria enjoys Kage's company a great deal, being more at ease with him than just about anyone she knows. She always tries to speak with him where ever she finds him. ★ Chokho Viqqoh - Chokho is one of the few flirtatious women Alexaria seems relaxed around. Chokho is more accepting of Alexaria's lifestyle and personal choice than many of Alex's other acquaintances, and for this Alex is deeply thankful. They peacefully disagree on some points, but Alexaria trusts Chokho--even though she is keeping a careful eye on the dark Miqo'te's actions. ★ Ennara Calian - Ennara and Alexaria grew quite close over the span of a few weeks--eventually growing too close for comfort (for Alexaria at least). Ennara took their "break up" fairly roughly, but Alexaria wants to maintain a healthy relationship with Ennara over the long term. ● Nazeru Auronas - Though their relationship began with Nazeru making passes at Alexaria, Alexaria's refusal to show emotion frustrates Nazeru. The redhead is quick to pass judgement on Alexaria's actions, but Alexaria does not hold any sort of grudge against Nazeru. ★Augustine Frost - Dirty and unkempt Augustine may be, but Alexaria sees in him something he refuses to believe exists: a heart. Her chief concern is that he will actively try to stamp it out instead of accepting that he could be cared for honestly. ■ Marrow Ochi - Alexaria doesn't quite believe Marrow is the Primal she says she is, but harbors concern over what could happen if Marrow actually is. ★Trisselle Ganathain - Alexaria holds this Duskwight in high regard, and her poise reminds Alex that Duskwights must always be judged person to person. Though they seem to float in different circles, Alexaria tries to make time for Trisselle when she can. ●Silonon Chandra - An eccentric Hyur that Alexaria finds, above all else, entertaining. She has decided to be more careful in her dealings with him after a few odd events, but would come to the Midlander's aid any time. ■K'weh Featherstroud - She once admired "Feather" for his singing skill and modesty, but the ease with which the Miqo'te turned to violence during a stressful encounter keeps Alexaria at a distance, for now. ● U'zhan Tia - The dark-skinned Miqo'te bewilders Alexaria at times. She watches his interactions with other of her acquaintances carefully, apparently trying to "figure him out". ●Haruki Aoyuki - Though she's only met the gentleman briefly, she has great respect for people who say little (whether by choice or circumstance). Obviously, since he doesn't speak, she's very curious about him. ● Araswel Dakwhil - Alexaria respects Araswel as a fighter and as a teacher, though she feels she has little to learn from the Miqo'te battlemaster. Alex feels Araswel's martial focus may be too narrow, and hopes Araswel has something meaningful to fight for--or at least, has a non-combative hobby.
