Chaotic Neutral General Information . ❝ It's just a scratch. ❞ Appearance Eyes Hair Skin Build Voice Blue-grey Deep Auburn Fair Lean Low alto Bearing Laterality Scars Markings Style Varies Right-dominant Single shallow scar over her right eye Freckles over her nose and cheeks Favors black, boots over breeches, shirt and vest Hair & Eyes Her dark auburn hair is cut in chaotic uneven locks, that she then pulls back into a spiky ponytail. Long bangs hang over one side, over the red tinted shades she usually likes to wear. She is also usually not seen without her gun holstered on her back. Physique & Markings She stands short for a Highlander, but has a wiry and toned frame. She seems more dexterous than strong. Hygiene & Attire If she is working on some gun, magitek, or a ship engine, then likely she would appear much like a grease monkey, oil and grime on her face and fingers. If she is crawling around caverns and ruins looking for treasure, she is likely covered in dust and dirt. She does not seem to mind getting her hands dirty. But if she is found in a bar or in normal social circumstances, she is usually well cleaned and dressed. Personality Psychological Profile She comes off at a first glance as cocky and brash. Her flippant attitude often puts people off, which is how she keeps people at arm's length. Only a few have seen past this exterior, and those she trusts implicitly are even rarer. Philosophy & Mannerisms She lives on the reckless side of things, if it doesn't carry a risk, it is not worth doing.

Relationships Relationship Status Legend ღ Relationship ❣ Attraction ♡ Complicated ♦ Friend ✝ Deceased ✔ Positive ✖ Negative ● Neutral � Unsure Family Acquaintances Roen Deneith, Positive. (♦) - "Ro" Character's Thoughts: "I knocked her out the first time I saw her. Maybe I was trying to knock some sense into her from all the way back then. Since then I've come to call her friend... despite her stubbornness or because of it." Shael met this paladin when she took up a contract to help an old friend within the Ala Mhigan Resistance. Over the years, she has come to trust the free paladin's intentions, even if she remains critical of her idealism and drive to do good. Shael has maintained correspondence with her over the nears, coming to her call when she was needed. Brynnalia Callae, Mostly Positive. (♡) - The Frenemy Character's Thoughts: "Knowing that in the end, she will only look out for one person, herself, I can't exactly dislike her for it. I'd do the same." Brynn and Shael met while they both worked with the Ala Mhigan Resistance. Shael left soon enough for her own reasons, only returning now and then to take freelance jobs at the behest of an old friend. Shael always saw Brynn as a self-serving kind of person, and it mystified her that she would be involved in an effort to free Gyr Abania. They acknowledged each other purely on a professional level over the years, sometimes finding themselves on the same side, and sometimes not. Delial Grimsong, Negative. (✖) - Kinslayer Character's Thoughts: "I will never trust her. I will never forgive her. I don't care what the others say. I will kill her." Shael was recruited into the Resistance by one man, Aylard Greyarm, and it was for him that she continued to take smuggling missions even after she left the cause. Then one day, his severed head was delivered in a box, a deed of the Kinslayer who was hunting down his sect. Shael has tried now multiple times to kill her, and yet every time, she has failed to finish the job. She is not sure why. Gharen Wolfsong, Somewhat Positive. (✔) - Lovesick Fool Character's Thoughts: "He tries to do good, but I can see there is viciousness in there somewhere. Also a fool." Shael first met this Highlander when an old friend that she admired greatly, touted him as a possible next leader of the Resistance. But that was years ago. Since, Shael has seen Wolfsong suffer, turn, and then ally himself with those who hunted the Resistance. Shael thought him a lost cause, until recently he called upon her to help the Resistance again. He still seems to have a weakness for a certain Kinslayer, so Shael can't rightfully call him an ally. Kiht Jakkya, Positive. (✔) - "Kiht-Kat" Character's Thoughts: "Ro trusts her with her life, she can't be that bad." Shael met this Keeper when she came to Roen's aid, more than once. She was one contact that Roen had no doubt about trusting with her life. Shael then worked with her while smuggling supplies into Gyr Abania and took a liking to her blunt and honest personality. She also respects her capable skills as a hunter and a tracker. Nabi Kharlu, Somewhat Positive. (✔) - Xaela Herbalist Character's Thoughts: "Why does she keep trying to help me?" Shael was in a desperate place when she encountered Nabi. And it led her to duping the Xaela, stealing from her, and also luring her out to the wildness and leaving her stranded. And yet despite all this, Nabi still came to her aid and tended to her broken arm and hand. Shael has recently tried to square the debt she feels she owes the Xaela, but she is not sure why she still feels obliged to her. Tserende Valqirelle, Complicated. (�) - The Employer Character's Thoughts: "I'm not sure what to make of him. Don't ask." To say that Shael's nature of association with this Ishgardian mercenary is complicated is an understatement. In retribution for stealing from his employer, Tserende tracked her down and broke her arm and fingers. She thought that would be the end of that, but later ended up accepting a job offer from him as a way to pay for various bills that were stacking up... and for her to have something to do while she was recovering, both from her injuries and the multitude of drugs she had put into her system. Since their rocky start, the two have gotten along... a little better. They mostly exchange snarky comments and insults, but seem to be willing to tolerate each other's presence. Elam Grave, Unsure. (�) - The Contact Character's Thoughts: "If I never saw his face again, it would have been too soon." Shael's relationship with Elam is one of distrust and wariness. She has begrudgingly agreed to take him on as a client for just one thing that she wanted from him, a garlean gun. But he is now her only contact to obtain garlean weapons, since her previous contact was discovered and killed. She knows Elam from years past, having crossed paths with him within the Ala Mhigan Resistance and also dealing with Monetarist clients in Ul'dah. She sees him as a self-serving ambitious mercenary and businessman and she wants as little to do with him as possible. Former Acquaintances Deceased Thaliak's Axe, Positive. (♦✝) - "Shooey" Character's Thoughts: "He didn't have to die." Shael and Shooey's relationship goes back for almost 20 years. He has been her best friend for as long as she could remember, and the first mate to her ship, The Peregrine. He was her grounding force, her moral compass, her sounding board. She was the only one that seemed to comprehend the various murmurs and growls that rose from his tongueless mouth, often carrying a full conversation with the Roegadyn. He lost his life recently in the Ala Mhigan conflict. Aylard Greyarm, Positive. (♦✝) - "Old man" Character's Thoughts: "I will avenge his death, someday. Somehow." Aylard is the only person Shael ever truly considered family. He took her in when she ran away from home, and gave her a purpose. The wise and determined Highlander was part of the Ala Mhigan Resistance when she met him, and she took up his cause readily. She later discovered that she had her own emotional issues that were made worse by the violence that was prevalent in their Garlean confrontations, so she left. She always maintained her loyalty to Aylard and often returned to the Resistance help him at his bidding. He died at the hands of a Kinslayer five years ago.
