Nalli Blythe (pronounced NAL-lee blaɪθ) (21st Sun of the 4th Astral Moon (July 21^st)) is a first-generation Eorzean-born Xaela Au Ra that has grown up most of her life in Coerthas Central Highlands, estranged from most others of her kind. Her travels and curiosity have taken her through several parts of Eorzea, primarily Limsa Lominsa, where her fascination of books led her to take up study within the arcanist's guild. Currently, she is back in Coerthas studying things she has still yet to understand and document them. Where she goes next, it's any ones guess.

Appearance & Personality

Personality: Whether she knows someone or not, her first impression she gives off is outgoing and curious. Every word you say, Nalli will be attentive and listen. But don't think she won't ask you questions afterwards. Most of the time, she won't be nosy, just wondering or perhaps clarifying something you said. But she'll wait for questions right back, for it is only fair for her to do the same. Once you get to know her, she'll do her best to make sure that anyone she knows is kept safe. While she might not be the best physical fighter, Nalli's loquacious nature can win battles more intellectual. Perhaps she doesn't sound like most war-mongering Xaela Au Ra, even she herself knows that. But don't let it fool you that she does not have a tendency to lash out. Nalli has a higher tolerance level, but once someone breaks that threshold, she won't be afraid to send a dagger straight to the throat.

Appearance: When not covering herself up, Nalli has a distinct look amongst those in Eorzea. For starters, her complexion is a mixture of a purplish or bluish hue. Surrounding her face and on the bridge of her nose, one can clearly see her lustrous, black scales that identify her as a Xaela Au Ra. Her platinum blonde hair is short with slightly longer bangs in the front. While her large horns can be rather distinguishable, she has two tiny ones on the side of her bangs. Aside from her facial features, Nalli is one of the taller females of the Au Ra. She is also notably lethe, noting small breasts that don't get in the way when she is fighting.

Clothing wise, Nalli tends to wear robes with a sash that holds her potions. Furthermore, she prefers wearing some kind of tights or pants under her robe in order for more flexibility.

Biography

Childhood

Nalli was born somewhere within Coerthas Central Highlands, close to Camp Dragonhead. It fondly reminded them of Othard when they were children. A few months before her birth, her mother and father decided it would best best to change their surname to something that would allow their child and themselves to travel slightly more freely instead. (Assimilating into a culture other than their own had many benefits.) During her first few years of life, it was easy for her parents to cover her horns and allow her to travel freely within the camps while they still kept their faces hidden under robes. Her horns were not fully grown, scales not covering part of her face. For now, she could pass as a young elezen or miqo'te (with a hat). But even a small fix could only last so long.

During one of her trips to the camp, the young Xaela had done as her parents had told her. "Wear your robe and if you must take if off, were this bandanna.." Now, Nalli's horns were becoming increasingly predominant in her facial features and getting much harder to cover up. At her impressionable age of 12, Nalli was in that state of thinking she knew what was she was doing and thinking none of her actions would have consequences. The day had gone as normal. She had gotten the list of supplies her parents had asked for as well as this thing called a 'book', a thing with 'word' and 'pictures' the vendor called it. All was wright with the world. Carefree and happy could Nalli be. People weren't giving her any strange looks like her parents had worried about. Even though she was different, people were accepting her.

Or so she thought.

While her mother ended up taking the purchases, Nalli had time to be free and do whatever she wanted. And playing along with the other children that were travelling through was the best idea she had at the time. Some of them she had known since her early years from their folks being stationed at Dragonhead. A simple game of hide-and-go-seek tag. A few rounds and nothing had gone wrong. But one of the young Elezen became cock while they were 'it', forcibly tackling each player they found to the ground. Being one of the last people to be found, she sprinted out when the Elezen noticed her. Laughing ensued as she managed to stay out of his reach for a while until Nalli was slung to the ground. A bully, that's what this Elezen was. His hands took hold of her bandanna and ripped it off, revealing two shiny black horns on the sides of her head. What was laughter turned into taunting and teasing. The Elezen that had found her started shouting. "Dravanian! Dravanian!" Nalli shook her head, trying to explain what she was, but there was no avail as the other children, both Hyur and Elezen alike, started saying something to her. One of them tugged at her horns while another pulled at her tail. Crying, she tried to get up before they could do anything more. One of the children, who was more scared than a bully, had gotten their parent. And the adult was much worse than the children, calling her scum and to go back to 'sleeping with the dragons like Shiva'. Her young mind knew nothing what was going on. Instinctively, Nalli ran away when the children had finally gotten off of her due to the one parent yelling. Tears running from her eyes, the Xaela went back towards the cavern that she called home.

I wonder if there's something going on with them." - Corentiaux at Camp Dragonhead ■ "The girl never stays in one place! I swear that guy that's with her all the time looks like he's about to panic when he can't find her." - Momodi Modi in the Quicksand ■ "I heard that she never grew up with other Xaela children. No wonder why she gets looked at funny by them." - A Raen Au Ra ◢ Rare Rumors (Very difficult or rarely overheard) ■ "Some say she's been friends with those sucubi. With her looks, I wouldn't doubt it." ■ "I heard Nalli had a little too much alcohol once, and that happy demeanor of hers completely went away." ■ "It seems Nalli was stearing out at the bay the other day. Expression was a bit downtrodden. Kindda felt... off with how sweet she is." - Unnamed Rogue that was watching from the Guild. ◢ PC Rumors (Rumors from the character's of other players) ■ ■ ■ ■

RELATIONS ♥ Romantic Interest ♥ Platonic Love ● Good Standing ● Poor Standing ♥ Unnamed Male Au Ra: A male Au Ra that Nalli was saved by in Coerthas and is her current travelling partner. She currently knows him as "Skar". Their relationship status is a bit skewed right now, since she's not exactly sure what she should be calling it. Ah well, all she knows is that he can tolerate her antics very well. ●
