General

Lilithium Altair (Lil-ith-ium Ah-l-tair) is a older Hyur midlander who is often seen in and around Ul'dah and the Goblet. Her maternal nature and affectionate disposition leaves her well liked by most who come across her. Widowed three years before the Calamity and with her three children all grown and out of the house as of roughly a year ago, Lili finds that she's able to focus on herself and her own happiness for the first time since her teens. It's left her with many doorways of oppurtunity to choose from, some full of light and adventure while others harbor a darker purpose...

Note: Lili is able to see the aether of various individuals she meets. They manifest as light and colors, and I will sometimes whisper people OOC to determine what their aether is like so Lili can react or adjust accordingly.

Appearance

Standing at 5 fulm and 4 ilm, Lili is used to seeing the world from the shorter side of things. She used to wear her pale blonde hair long and nearly to her elbows, but almost two moons ago she chopped it rather short. Her eyes are very light green with a silvery cast to the color to give it an odd shimmering quality. While her features deceive others of her true age, she bares what marks she has with pride: Some crows feet at the corner of her eyes that show when she laughs, and similar lines at the corner of her lips that only start to show when she is smiling broadly. Having bared three children (two of which were twins), she was left with rather shapely hips and added curves that she had not possessed in her youth. One of the physical features most noticed by some who meet Lili is her rather large bust despite her small size. It usually causes her a myriad of problems, as some of her shorter Miqo'te friends and Lalafell companions sometimes get suffocated when she hugs them. The rest of her is well toned from the muscle and strenght it takes to wield her axe and fist weapons, and sunkissed from her years by the shores of Limsa or the sands of Ul'dah.

Behavior

Having gotten pregnant at fourteen and raising or looking after her children and those of others left Lili with a maternal nature that has been driven down to the core of her very being. She tends to look out for those around her, especially those that she feels a soft spot for, or those around her children's age (teens to early twenties range). Though this maternal drive of hers doesn't make her a pushover in the least, as it is possible to ignite her ire with the right buttons being pushed. Over all, she's calm and even tempered and usually the voice of reason for those around her. Ever one to play devil's advocate.

Combat

General

Lili hasn't had much of a need to show her skills publically, but in the few times she's sparred with friends she's shown a great aptitude for a martial arts style of combat. Her fists, being her primary weapon, are usually not the thing to worry about. They sometimes serve as a mere distraction for her rather powerful legs to catch someone off guard. When she does happen to use her axe, it's an interesting sight since some of the weaponry are almost as big as she is. Yet she yields them with ease, using all her force with each blow. She fights with a certain level of honor, though if the situation should call for it she won't be afraid to play dirty.

Tendencies

Always one for trying and learning new things, Lili spends much of her idle time active in one way or another. If she's not relaxing in the Quicksand or the occasional visit to the Drowning Wench, she'll be home or out and about doing some kind of activity or socializing.

Family

●Ghislan Nightwing (deceased): Lili's late husband who went MIA during an assignment against the Garleans. After no body being found over the last near decade he's been gone, everyone has safely assumed he is dead and Lili no longer mourns her first and only true love. He was also of Ala Mhigan descent and large for a Highlander (7 fulms).

●Khavan Nightwing: Lili's oldest child and only son. At nineteen years of age, nearing twenty, Khavan is engaged to a male elezen and usually bothers Lili for wedding preperation.

●Sarameda Silverlark: Youngest twin daughter of Lilithium Altair and Amore Silverlark.

●Deisarameda Silverlark: Oldest twin daughter of Lilithium Altair and Amore Silverlark.

●Rahsha Altair: A Sunseeker miqo'te that Lili's parents found when Lili was only five. Abandoned on a supply ship, no one knows her tribal origin and could never relocate birth parents. Rahsha and Lili grew apart after Lili left home, and now the two rarely see one another.

●Andromeda and Reiko Altair (deceased): Lili's parents died shortly after the twins were born in a simple but tragic fire. Both were botanists who were unmatched in their knowledge of the land and its bountiful treasures.
