Vetiver Kaji (25th Sun of the 2nd Astral Moon) is a healer, lancer and archer for hire of Doman origin.

Basic Info

Hunter by day, white witch by night; Vetiver was an early arrival to Eorzea, amongst the first waves of refugees to land at its shores. A free-spirited traveler, an enigmatic wanderer, her abstract talents reserved only for those of her own personal choosing.

Appearance & Personality

Petite, slender and athletic in build, pale peach complexion with silver hair, well-framed and tied in traditional tails. Her face is soft and wise, eyes somber, golden like a night flower. Some would consider her looks 'ideal' for an older Au Ri woman, though she typically rejects the compliment entirely.

Vetiver is kind and compassionate to a fault, willing to sacrifice her own well-being to safeguard those she cares about without any regrets; her desire to protect and nurture is strong. She is, however, passive in nature, only resorting to violence as a last resort.

Calm, collected and moderately flirtatious with a silver, accented tongue, she rarely lets down her guard; hiding underneath that enduring surface, however, resides a terribly lonely, heart-broken woman suffering from insurmountable loss and romantic longing.

Biography

Pre-Invasion

Vetiver's past is one shrouded in a dense morning mist, akin to the quaint mountainside village she once had the pleasure of calling home. What little she speaks of is kept brief; born under a matriarchal healer bloodline, Vetiver took quickly to the art of conjury, tending with diligence to the ceaseless wounds of local hunters alongside mother Sandalwood and younger sister Patchouli.
