Kaede Nolan

[edit] Details Personality Relationships Rumors Gallery OOC Notes GENERAL INFORMATION Kaede is a fairly young apothecary owner and healer, showing great prowess in her skilled use of magic and having been granted a White Mage soulstone as a result, though at great cost to her own health at times. An ex-courtesan and companion, she was born in Gridania proper to a baker and a blacksmith, the latter hailing from Doma, moved to Ul'dah's Pearl Lane to live with her aunt at the age of 12 after her parents passed away in the Calamity that shook Eorzea. Her aunt died a year after and by this time Kaede was very well-versed in thieving, being quick on her feet and having a quick wit to get around. Shortly after her aunts passing, Kaede was cornered by a gang of men after stealing their coinpurses and was saved by a man named Victor, who offered her a job. Unbeknownst to her, this was to be the start of her companionship days and would remain that way till she was 20. Begrudgingly Victor decided to educate her after discovering she had a natural affinity for flora, allowing her to learn how to read and partake in alchemy. It was here that it was discovered she was incredibly intelligent and quick to learn, and Victor felt it best to stifle a large portion of education bar what was necessary for her to become a master of poisons and assassinate others for him, as well as learning their secrets. She finally left his employment, so to speak, after finding out that he had started to deal in selling children and murdering his most generous customer, leading Victor to order an attempt on her life and dump her body in the Sagolii Desert, where she awoke with no memories of who she was or any of her past. Important details: ■ Kaede has severe amnesia. She can't remember a lot, and what she can is traumatic. Important missing memories are extended to knowledge of an older brother. ■ Notable skills include - Dancing, knowledge of poisons and how to counteract them, fluency in several languages (Although some may require triggering to remember), quick to pick up new skills, prowess in several different forms of magick with a main focus on healing magicks. ■ Kaede had been deliberately kept unable to fight past the use of a dagger and poisons and being quick of feet until after meeting her two favourite companions, who made her realise she should probably learn to fight. As a result, she has taken up learning how to fight with several weapons and takes one stance with no weapons at all, relying on her flexibility and dancing skill to aid her kicks and punches. APPEARANCE A mixture of Gridanian and Doman has led way for some unusual yet stunning features on this young lady. Often fetishised for her looks in the past, she is described as being exceptionally beautiful, her features delicate and only marred by her usual uncaring attitude or scowl - yet even this remains attractive. She often relies on her features to get what she wants - as despite barely knowing what she looks like having glanced in a reflective surface a handful of times since the attempt on her life, she is aware that both men and women can't help but be drawn in by her looks. She is exactly 5 fulms in height, and incredibly slim. Despite her smallness, she has been lucky enough to have an hourglass figure. She has full lips with no discernable cupids bow, a small nose and large, viridian coloured almond shaped eyes, framed with thick lashes, and she often goes without makeup. A beauty mark is located just underneath her left eye. It is probable she takes more after her mother than her father in colouring, but her other features give her Doman side away, including her dark hair. Aspects That Stand Out: ■ Her hair is more often than not, waist-length and left loose, though on rare occasions she will style and decorate it to catch someones eye. If she does, she is normally up to something. ■ She now permanently has a scar on the right side of her face, just beneath her eye - a large and noticeable gouge that she is hoping will fade with time, though she knows it will not. ■ Other rarely seen physical traits include a large jagged scar curving along her hip as a result of the attempt on her life, with a cluster of freckles just beneath it. PERSONALITY Kaede is seemingly rude, stuck up, and at first glance, uninterested in everyone around her unless it suits her. However this is just a protective shell, and once you get to know her, one can find that she's very sweet and loyal to a fault. She is a young woman who will go out of her way to ensure others are not hurt and would do anything for her friends, even if it means sacrificing herself in their place, something she will do without ever breathing a word to anyone. Though she can often come across as snarky to people she doesn't know, she soon warms up and she'll even defend those she dislikes if she believes they're being done wrong by. At her core, all Kaede wants is to be happy and settle down. She has a big heart and carries affection for a lot of people even if she'll never say so, and will vehemently deny it if asked unless one gets to speak to her one on one. It seems the only exceptions to this rule are the two companions who finish her trio. As a result of her years as a companion, one of Kae's worst habits is flirting. She will go out of her way to flirt with anyone if she believes she can get something out of them, whether it's drinks or information. She enjoys making people smile, even if her methods of doing so are questionable, and sees nothing wrong with complimenting anyones looks as long as it makes them happy. She is not above fluttering her eyelashes with anyone to get her own way, and is more than aware of her sexuality and how to use it. This can lead to her being conflicted overall when all she wants to do is shut the world out and hide behind her protective layer. She is also prone to bouts of depression and great sadness, and will reflect this onto others often. L I K E S ■ Romance. Kaede is a sucker for romance in all forms and has been since she was a young girl. She spent her childhood before her parents passed away dreaming of her wedding, and even wanted to become a florist/botanist for that very reason. ■ Sweets. She has an exceptionally large sweet tooth despite not having the opportunity to have many, and if given such an opportunity will eat herself to sickness. ■ Animals. She is a sucker for all things cute, even if they are not deemed as traditionally cute. There has been more than one occasion where someone has demanded she puts a creature of some kind back after joining other adventurers for a dungeon. D I S L I K E S ■ Cruelty. She has been on the end of it many times herself, and as it stands, is not a fan. ■ Ahriman. Seems like they really upset her. It's probably all that wing-flapping and staring. H O B B I E S ■ Experimenting. Give her an alembic and something she can blow up, and she'll probably try her hardest to set her apothecary on fire. ■ Reading. This is something she does quite often - though she cannot write, she loves to read. Rumour has it she has too many romance novellas hidden beneath her bed, including the popular read 'Fifty Shades of Brume'. S T R E N G T H S ■ Resilience. She never gives up, no matter what the situation is, and will continue to fight until her dying breath. ■ Charm. Kaede knows exactly how to make someone smile or feel better, and a good fluttering of her eyelashes only aids that. ■ 'Loyalty. Unless you cross her, she will go above and beyond for you. W E A K N E S S E S ■ Brash. She has a terrible habit of throwing herself into things. M O T I V A T I O N S ■ Survival. RELATIONSHIP STATUS LEGEND ♥ Family – ♥ Involved – ♥ Romantic – ♥ Platonic – ♥ Physical – ♦ Friend – ★ Acquaintance – $ Business – ✝ Deceased – ✔ Positive – ✖ Negative – ● Neutral – � Unsure FAMILY Anette Nolan Mother. (♥ ✝ ) Character's Thoughts: "I remember her smile. She had a very nice smile. I look a lot like her, I think." N/A Eiji Amori Father. ( ♥ ✝ ) - Character's Thoughts: "He was strong, right? He worked with metal. That's all I remember.." N/A Ichiro Nolan Brother. ( ♥ ) Character's Thoughts: N/A N/A NON-FAMILY Kohl Eidyr Fiancé. ( ♥♥✔ ) Character's Thoughts: "Don't get me started. If I do, I'll never shut up. He's amazing; I'll say no more. If it wasn't for him.. I don't know what I'd do." Kaede and Kohl met at the same time, roughly, that she met Elliot. After seeing her go gooey-eyed in the presence of a puppy, Kohl scarpered off to find his own pet, a red panda with an attitude, and brought it back to get her attention. From that point onward Kohl and Kaede have been attached at the hip, and one could say it was love at first sight, despite their constant arguments. Weeks were spent where he would taunt and tease her, only for her to get upset and him to feel bad, unable to admit his feelings until one night he finally kissed her (rumour has it she swoons if you bring it up) and they were unable to leave one anothers side. After various events, arguments and tragedies Kohl proposed to Kaede to which she happily accepted. Though it seems the pair are quite volatile, they are almost undeniably in love with one another and their arguments never last long. Both have almost died for the other and would gladly give up their life to let the other live, and their love shows no signs of slowing or stopping. After a recent event ending in Victor's death, Kaede seems to rely on Kohl more than ever before, and is proud to call herself his wife-to-be. Elliot Gardiner Best Friend. ( ♥♦✔) Character's Thoughts: "Elliot? He's wonderful, even if I do wish I could heal him. I'd love to hear his voice one day. And honestly, I know I joke about bein' with him if it weren't for Kohl, but..." Kaede met Elliot in the Quicksand after quite literally walking straight into him. Feeling incredibly guilty, Kaede offered Elliot a drink and was quickly distracted by a wolf pup, and then Kohl. Still, Kaede is not seen without either Elliot or Kohl, or most of the time, both. Around Elliot she is less volatile and more delicate, often berating her husband-to-be for being mean to Elliot. She feels very protective over the younger Hyur, and no doubt holds some form affection for him. Ruruino Adopted Child. ( ♥✔) Character's Thoughts: "Ruru' is growing up to be a smart lad already. I love watching him interact with Elliot and Kohl - I'm so happy I found him." Kaede met Ruruino out on Pearl Lane where the young lalafellin child was clearly starving and had no family to speak of - so quickly took him in. He is incredibly special to her, and she wouldn't change him for the world, even though she hasn't quite worked out how to raise a child yet. Guine Blanchet Employee. ( ♦$✔) Character's Thoughts: "Guine is adorable. Very smart, very beautiful, very witty - and very shy, sometimes. I wonder why.." Guine is Kae's resident monster researcher, and works at the apothecary with her - though Kaede never seems to be entirely certain what the Miqo'te is up to. Kaelyn Vhris Friend (♦✔ ) Character's Thoughts: "Kaelyn is one of my closest friends, and a valuable one." Kaelyn and Kaede met shortly after Kae hit on him outside of Quicksand. From that point onwards he's been a stability in her life, sharing secrets with her and vice versa, helping her with the apothecary and a multitude of other things. Though some of their friendship has been questionable, they both seem relatively protective of one another - or atleast, he is of her. Emreg Belthen Acquaintance ( ★● ) Character's Thoughts: "I guess he's handsome. I guess. He's a bit of an arse, though - even if he does have a soft side." Kaede clearly has no idea where she stands on Emreg, yet, though an encounter in her Apothecary left her appreciating him more than one would think. He doesn't seem particularly fond of her magic, and she doesn't seem fond of his womanising ways, but when left alone the two speak quite in depth and are less vicious to one another. Maybe he's not so bad after all? Lady Harmony Friend ( ♦✔ ) Character's Thoughts: "Harmony is stunning - and I'm certain we owe eachother dinner at some point." They met in Quicksand after a woman got herself stabbed. And the rest, as they say, is history. Mayonaka Soyokaze. Friend(♦ ● ) Character's Thoughts: "She looks just like me. It's terrifying." They met in the haunted manor during the All Saint's Wake celebration. They're probably related. Probably. S'honji Hayakawa. Acquaintance (★� ) Character's Thoughts: "Hmph." S'honji is a thorn in Kae's side, and no doubt he feels the same way about her. She doesn't like him, but she doesn't hate him either, and remains unsure. What she is sure of, however, is that they keep popping up at the most unusual of times. Izea Dzaemel. Enemy ( ✖) Character's Thoughts: "What I wouldn't give to see that man suffer." Say no more.
