| − | At an age preceding his memories, Ainle was adopted and raised by an Elezen woman. She belonged to a group of privateers, and they were the family Ainle grew to know as his. His younger years were spent on ships and in port towns, his feet not firmly planting on the ground for more than a decade after his adoption. He began a life of his own by the approximate age of fifteen by leaving the seafaring life and setting a course for Ul'dah. There, he trained to fight in the gladiatorial arenas while the legendary paladins of the Sultansworn quickly became his role models. When he wasn't grasping a sword, he swung a pick, and a membership with the Miner's Guild more than paid his way.

| − | Ainle's upbringing sets him apart from tribal Seekers. Adoptive name aside, he was both culturally disconnected and conversationally timid around all Miqo'te, and, to a lesser extent, most other races. Ainle often falls victim to social anxieties, but many others have found him to be a likable youngster. Friendliness runs deep in his character and tends to drive his interactions and relationships with fellow Eorzeans. Those few who come to share a close friendship with Ainle enjoy an unmatched measure of loyalty from him. He exhibits strong instincts and has proven unshakably protective of those he cares for. Trusted companions have been scarce throughout his life, and Ainle is not one to squander them.

| − | Here, Ainle is highly focused, given what others have seen thus far. Rather than it being a matter of favoring combat, he seems more duty-bound to protect his friends and allies. The results are a more decisive and much less nervous Ainle.

| − | He is skilled in swordplay, and a trained eye could possibly discern that the boy prefers curved blades. He favors smaller shields, more readily relying on elusive movements and deflections than mere blocking. He practices with other bladed weapons such as claws and daggers. He may have been noted practicing in the yard of the company's estate when few were around.

| − | His power in hand-to-hand combat is also notable. Though the young man is small in frame, he commands potent aetheric power when he focuses the energies at his hands and feet. Through his training, Ainle has opened two of his seven chakras.

| − | Ainle exudes a gentle aura of warmth around his being when his Aether is excited. The heat that radiates from his body feels much like comforting rays of sunlight when upon another's skin, should they come close enough to him. His recent meditations and efforts to harness his energies have found a milestone in his progress. Whenever Ainle manipulates Aether, be it the light from his Paladin techniques, novice conjuring, or empowering his body in hand-to-hand combat, the energy released takes on the characteristic of a golden glow.
