Appearance & Personality

Appearance:

Nai would be considered a runt amongst her tribe, barely hitting 57 ilms (4'9") when stretched to her full height. While tiny at first glance, however, the little kitten has gone to great lengths to make up for what she lacks in height with strength. Most easily noted in her arms and chest, she sports lithe, packed muscle under a layer of feminine softness (strong, but not without some body fat), built to either deliver a powerful blow or brace to absorb one.

Her face is soft, a pleasant heart shape with delicate-looking features, her lips often lightly glossed in a soft purple. Vibrantly blue eyes are slanted in a manner reminiscent of her more feline traits, lined with dark lashes and sporting the tell-tale slit pupil of the Seeker breed of Miqo'te, lined with a dusting of pale purple eyeshadow. Her hair is cropped short along her jaw, sleek and bone-straight, a soft lavender color to match the fur of her ears and tail. Hidden by her bangs, a pair of tan stripes reach from the arch of her brows to her hairline, though the two pair that cross her cheeks, just below her eyes, remain perfectly visible.

She often chooses clothing that shows off her body, shameless in her enjoyment of the attention it gets (positive or negative). If her chest is bared, a Duskwight crest is visible on the left side: a crown over a simple stylization of a valley, encircled by a loop of rope.

Personality:

Flirty, competitive, and utterly, completely shameless are a few good words to sum her up. In general, Nai is a very outgoing, affectionate person with little awareness in the area of personal space. She's just as likely to touch, or even hug, a stranger as she is a friend (though friends are far more likely to have a Naibarnacle at some point during any given encounter). She's quick to tease, though she tempers the worst of her barbs with a warm tone and amused eyes. That's just her way of showing affection: The more she banters with someone, it generally means she's quite fond of them. It's the silence that generally tells of her wrath.

The only public deviation of this generally upbeat, sociable attitude is when there's a male Seeker about. If she's noticed him, she will generally go quiet and try not to draw attention to herself, even to the point of taking her leave of current company. If approached by one, she seldom makes eye-contact and becomes very withdrawn and shy, but will not disengage unless dismissed or left alone.

Rumors Rumors may be greatly exaggerated or flat out untrue. Please feel free to add your own rumors under the PC section! ◢ Common Rumors (Easily overheard) ■ "Isn't that the dancer girl? She's put on a lot of muscle these last few years. Bet she'd be a real ride now, heh heh." ■ "What's with that Seeker who doesn't associate with her own? She damn near keeled over when some male approached her the other night." ◢ Moderate Rumors (Moderately difficult to overhear) ■ "That one? Don't bother unless you're some long-eared fop. Why a Miqo'te's so fixated on Elezen is beyond me." ■ "She's got a Duskwight mark on her, best keep your hands off. Dealin' with a whole clan of those buggers ain't worth the trouble..." ◢ Rare Rumors (Very difficult or rarely overheard) ■ "She's got a cousin, that crazy-smart little scholar from La Noscea. Heard their whole tribe was near wiped out in the Calamity." ■ "Heard she was involved in that whole fiasco with Vylbrand Academy and some airship blastin' holes in in the place." ◢ PC Rumors (Add some and sign your character's name!) ■ (Feel free to add your own!)

Relationships ♥ Romantic Attraction    ♥ Family     ● Friends ● Not Trusted    ! Enemies ♥ A'khebica Ginwa - Her baby cousin, Nai is fiercely protective of Khebi, one of her few remaining family members. ● Ciel Wulfe - A lovely bard and good friend, unfortunately Nai hasn't seen her in quite a long while. Hopefully she's okay... ● C'kayah Tia - She hasn't seen this Seeker in many, many moons. This is probably a good thing, he purred way too much to be trustworthy. ♥ Desant Valeroyant - Her closest friend, lover, and mentor: there are no others who she trusts as completely. ● Jandelaine Hainaut - A handsome Duskwight fellow she met in the Quicksand shortly after returning to Ul'dah for the first time in several months. She hasn't seen too much of him lately, but holds out hope that he'll return to the Academy safely. ● Lhei'to Tayuun - The Keeper she ended up 'living' with up until her disappearance in the Shroud last summer. She hasn't seen much of him since, sadly.
