[edit]
Andromeda (known to her family as Adya) is a talented healer, astrological scholar, multi-classed adventurer, and most notably, the Warrior of Light. The last of which she stumbled into quite accidentally, after having left her small village in the Azim Steppe to seek knowledge on the cosmos. She has a knack for getting into everyone else's trouble, and an even greater knack for managing to come out on top, albeit with a few more bumps and bruises. Having already had her world turned on its head by the Calamity, little truly shakes her, and she tries to move forward with an open mind and heart. Some call her naïve, especially considering what she has been through, but she still strives to see the good in everyone she meets.
Born into the Dalamiq clan of Othard, one of the few Xaela clans to have a permanent settlement, Andromeda spent much of her life worshipping the lesser moon Dalamud, weaving tales of gods and stars into tapestries with her mother. As a child, she would often slip out before dawn and climb to the roof of her small home to watch the glittering heavens above her, trying to spy the faces of those in her stories. More than once, she fell asleep up there and woke to a nasty noontime sunburn and angry parents. When she was just a few summers old, she began to demonstrate a talent for the aetheric arts, already able to heal small scratches from the children's roughhousing. This caught the eye of the Dalamiq udgan, and she was taken under her wing to begin training in the healing arts, as well as learning the intricacies of their spiritual ceremonies. Andromeda excelled in her studies, and by her 19th year, she was often the one most would go to when they needed a little healing, or if they cared to have their horns talked off by stories of the stars. She had also shown a surprising aptitude for battle, helping defend her village during the Nadaam, though she had yet to enter Bardam's Mettle. She was admired, respected by the rest of her clan, well on her way to becoming the next Dalamiq udgan -- until the moon she so worshipped swelled red in the sky, like a festering wound, and the Seventh Umbral Calamity fell upon Hydaelyn. In the days after Dalamud's fall, as her clan watched the roiling horizon, as the aether seized and the night sky loomed empty and foreboding, Adya Dalamiq questioned. Her folk songs and her tales did not hold answers, neither her tapestries, nor even her udgan. And so she resolved to find the answers herself, no matter how far it took her, letting her faith in the stars guide her way.
Andromeda is slightly taller than most Auri woman, standing at 5 fulms and 3 ilms, with a complexion that suggests she was born of the stars themselves. Her blue-grey skin, like moonlight on the water, dusted with patches of dark freckles and bluish scales, is offset by warm yellow and gold eyes that glow in low light. A rather fresh scar cuts across her left browbone and cheek. Her hair is dark, nearly black, though it shines an inky blue in the sun, and has started to grow white streaks from her encounters with pure Light. Being a field healer, her build has always been more toned and lithe than muscular, though certainly still stronger than the average chirurgeon. Recently, however, she has taken up more physically demanding roles in battle, as she faces ever more dangerous foes, and is becoming quite a bit more hardy.
Andromeda is a firm proponent of balancing substance with style, and has taken great pains to tailor herself so that she is never out of place, either on the battlefield or at a political banquet. Armor is always shined to a polish, leather perfectly conditioned, and her weapons just as much an accessory as they are a deadly force. Her style tends towards dark colors, though sometimes her eye will be caught by a fiery red or deep blue that reminds her of home.
Aspects That Stand Out:
Andromeda is generally a kind and sociable person, her upbringing in a small village instilling her with an appreciation for community and helping those around her. She's friendly, even to strangers, and will often try to lighten the mood with a joke or two. Those closer to her are treated to the breadth of her often sarcastic, sometimes groan-worthy humor, as well as the occasional excited lecture on astrological theory. She's optimistic, perhaps to a fault, but don't take her for a fool -- she knows well and good that the world, and the people in it, can be cruel. She simply choses to search for that silver lining, rather than letting herself get lost in the weeds. For the most part, she can stay cool and level headed in tense situations, but she has a quick flare temper when it comes to her loved ones being hurt. She has spent much of her life with the weight of expectation on her shoulders, first from her clan as the lead healer and udgan's successor, then from all of Eorzea as the Warrior of light. Because of this pressure, she often keeps her worries and doubts to herself, afraid of letting those that depend on her down.
