Appearance & Personality

Slightly smaller than the average Miqo'te female, Kiipa blends into a crowd with considerable ease with how little attention she calls to herself. Her body is fit despite the curves of both hips and bust, and what little skin is shown in her formal wear bears little in the way of scarring. She bears one golden eye, while the other has taken on a paler gold hue - nearly silver. Across the bridge of her nose is a noticeable scar, but it seems to have healed considerably well.

Her clothing choices range from light clothing that bares her arms when in Ul'dah, to far more formal overcoats and skirts when business is to be conducted. She favors duller colors more often than not, with browns and blues making up her palette. Her lengthy hair, reaching to the small of her back in soft curls when freshly washed, has recently undergone a change from it's ashen green to a white. She is easily identified as a Keeper by her skin color - grey.

Around her throat is likely the only item that never changes - a simple black leather collar

Kiipa's personality upon first meeting can be vastly different per person. She wears her opinions on her sleeve, and it is not hard to be on the opposite side of a devastatingly low opinion for little more than one's race.

At her best, Kiipa is an easy-going woman with a silver tongue and a playful nature that seeks to pull even the most quiet and reclusive of person out of their shell. She is gentle and almost maternal to those that she regards as in need of protection, but those who she takes under her wing are held to a higher standard than most - it is not hard to fail to live up to her expectations, though she is kind enough not to say so.

At her worst, she is a reclusive woman with distinct xenophobic tendencies. The ease with which she flirts at her best is instead replaced by a quick temper and a harsher tongue that easily finds the worst in a person and twists it into a weapon against any who might offend her. She loses her ability to understand and even cope with emotions, often lashing out in anger when patience is desperately needed.

Biography

Childhood

Kiipa was born into a large clan hidden deep within the Shroud. Her mother was a well-known hunter who had won one of the rare males to her side as a primary lover. Not long after Kiipa's birth, her mother and father pulled from the clan during a territorial dispute with another larger clan. Little more than a toddler in the eyes of most, Kiipa learned as her mother had learned when she was but a child, and became quickly accustomed to the use of a bow and dagger, while learning of the medicinal herbs and foodstuffs that grow in the Shroud.

Not long after their initial parting, the small family came into the fold of two more that had also deviated from larger clans for their own reasons. Accepted, the trio of families bonded, with Kiipa swiftly learning how to treat skinned knees for the children to the more dire injuries that came from the adults hunting.

Teenage

Her life remained tranquil, as the family grew to add two sisters a handful of years later, and a brother - much to the joy of the entire clan. Kiipa grew close to another boy within the clan, but youth for both made anything else impossible.

Present

Due to intense trauma during and after the events of the Calamity, most of Kiipa's childhood is completely lost to her - though it's really unknown if this is by choice, or due to actual injury. Those who tended to the woman after her extraction from a collapse in Gridania were unable to pull a family name from her, and so she was granted the surname 'Nulstat' as a joke made by another patient who was recovering in the bed next to the Miqo'te woman. When that patient passed from extensive injury, Kiipa kept the surname as both a memory of his kindness, and because it fit who she had become - a woman with nothing.

At the very least, she remembers that her family was small; two younger sisters, and the youngest brother. Her clan was composed of three families in total, each having broken off from other larger clans. Beyond that, she does not remember more than the terrifying moment of losing her grip on her sister, and the heart-breaking feeling of her brother's heartbeat slowly fading against her chest amidst the stifling and compressing collapse.

From there, her life has been a whirlwind of recovery. Moved from Gridania to Limsa Lominsa, she recovered alongside the sea in the company of Maelstrom doctors. As her healing progressed, she accompanied the medical personnel and eventually took up roles where assisting was allowed. It was in this manner that she was, for all intents and purposes, underhandedly trained in medicine. When it was discovered that she had a knack for numbers and was deemed well enough to leave the city if needed, she was sent to the Arcanist's Guild.

Having traveled extensively and learned a great many things, Kiipa now exists among the Dreamers as a physician alongside other talented medical personnel, assisting in the physical and emotional well-being of those who make up the company.

Miscellaneous

RUMORS Some of these rumors are untrue or are greatly exaggerated. Please feel free to add your own rumors under PC! ◢ Common Rumors (Easily overheard) ■ "Kiipa? Yeah, stays at the inn. You can usually find her at the docks, though." ■ "She's got a fondness for strays. I see her feeding them when no one's lookin'." ■ "Don't treat her like a slattern. It won't end well." ◢ Moderate Rumors (Moderately difficult to overhear) ■ "I heard she picked up the name Nulstat because she can't remember her clan." ■ "Named her Carbuncles. What a silly thing, naming those creatures..." ■ "I don't think she likes the sun, much." ◢ Rare Rumors (Very difficult or rarely overheard) ■ "Poor dear. They had to pull her brother's corpse away from her when they were found." ■ "She has nightmares. Bad enough she has to use... well, they're bad." ■ "She likes the rain.

RELATIONS ♥ Romantic Interest ♥ Platonic Love ● Good Standing ● Poor Standing ♥ Areic Davrun : An amusing meeting in the rain developed into a friendship, and then into much more. Though Kiipa still struggles to believe she is worthy of his love, she is nevertheless content to remain at his side, as willing a lover to him as he is a lover, companion, and guardian to her. ♥ Kian Daas : No longer merely a friend, Kian has worked his stoic blonde butt into a permanent part of Kiipa's adopted family... as small as it is. She's fiercely defensive of him, and his recent travels have her worried that perhaps her beloved brother has wandered too far to be helped, emotionally. ♥ Anton Borneheld : If ever there was a friendship more convoluted, it would be this one. While not starting off on the best of sides, what with all the veiled insults and outright physical contact, Anton and Kiipa have settled into an easy friendship that borders on something more affectionate. While she wouldn't quite call him her best friend, she has come to rely on him more and more in the past weeks to the point that she feels his absences, rare as they are, quite keenly. ● Gen Quickpaw : A story of first impressions that evolve into something better, where Kiipa once believed the man to be little more than a drunk and a whore, she now sees him for the potential leader and friend that he can be. Granted, it's hard to hate a man once you've seen him panic over the birth of his child. ● Vanilla Wayfarer : Another brief encounter, the Seeker's attempts to cajole Kiipa into being more receptive to the attentions of others has done little on the surface, though Kiipa bears a grudging respect for the woman's efforts. ● Aewynia Kitini : While initially having no opinion of the girl, recent events have turned a neutral opinion into a fairly sour one. While her opinions are based mostly on professional conduct, her dislike for Aewynia may stretch into personal dislike... but thankfully for their Free Company, the two seem capable of at least acting professionally.
