Appearance

Her most notable characteristic would be her face: kohl-lined eyes, large and expressive, set in snowy, pixie-like features and punctuated with an impish smile. Tapering crescent moons of blue-purple curve along her cheeks and profile, a tribute to the Lover and mark of her heritage. Of the body, she is petite and wispy: with slender legs, round hips, a short, slim torso and lean arms. Small on the Miqo'te scale, Luna's build is that of a flyer, not a fighter. Her hair, often braided but never symmetrically, cascades untidily to her waist in silver waves. She rarely wears items of value (or any indication of wealth for that matter), instead adorning herself with odd baubles, cheap jewelry and a multitude of blossoms. To all she appears commonplace, save her moonlit countenance, mischievous expression and the ever-present scent of heliotrope. Her voice is sweet and squeaky, neither too loud nor too quiet, and an outright betrayal to her Lominsan origins. She looks to be about eighteen cycles.

Biography

The Fay family had been living in Limsa Lominsa for nearly two generations. Originally a forest-tribe from the Twelveswood, the Fay had practiced traditional Miqo'te medicine for age upon age. They were not a waring clan, rather they sought knowledge in the pharmaceutical benefits of plant-life for the preservation of life. Among their kind they were regarded as shamans and medicine-men with a strong affinity for nature (though frowned upon for their mostly vegan diets). With the Ala Mhigan invasion and the beginning of the Autumn War, the tribe grudgingly fled their forest-home for security in the sea-city. Already skilled carpenters, the Fay-men were fortunate enough to find immediate work with the felling and crafting of timber for ships - which in turn provided the Fay-maidens with funds to establish an apothecary shop (currently known as Megalixir). The family business accumulated gil quickly, supplying vessels bound to Gridania with remedies for the War's hurts. In later cycles, after the Alliance prevailed over Ala Mhigo, the Fay began to take to the Rhotano Sea with a ship made by their own. They returned with exotic materials: ingredients for crafting, potion-making, plant cuttings for propagation... all together impressive items that increased their sales tenfold.

So it was no wonder, in 1559, that Luna found herself born into a well-to-do, extensive family. She was the youngest of five (and brothers no less), always the last for good pick but first for picking on. Growing up there were constant expectations of her, and all involved her being "proper." She idealized the males in her family: desiring adventure at sea, treasure untold and glory in battle. Instead of learning language and arithmetic, Luna envisioned dragons, dungeons, damsels... her mind wandered far, rarely touching reality. As she came upon her teenage years, a rebel awoke within the dreamer. She listened to sailor's stories, interrogated drunken adventurers, and stole unusual oddities for "study" (from the same drunken adventurers). But it was the partying that most concerned her parents. Hoping to dissuade their daughter from her unfitting interests and to promote "thought and reason," Luna was enrolled into the Arcanist's Guild at sixteen cycles (which proved to be a trial for her poor concentration and absent mind).

By eighteen she was an accomplished - albeit ditsy - Scholar, and back into the same rut she had known her whole life. Lusting for excitement, Luna fabricated a fib for her family: she was leaving the city for a cycle to study at the Conjurer's Guild - while in actuality she'd be going where she damn well liked. She proclaimed herself an adventurer upon her arrival to Ul'dah and has since taken to chasing fairytales.
