P E R S O N A L I T Y

The first thing about Neena is that she is relatively quiet, especially if she is in the presence of strangers due to social anxiety. She doesn't say much unless she's spoken to, interested in the topic or in the presence of her friends. This doesn't mean she isn't listening; in fact its quite the opposite. She listens to everyone around her, even if they aren't at her table or even know she's there. Some may call it creeping and Neena won't deny that at all, but sometimes conversations are more interesting when it isn't necessarily your business, and may even get a laugh out of it. While she doesn't actually tell others that she listens to their conversation she won't deny it if they ask her. But if you want to fight with this young Black Mage, then its recommended you wear something fire resistant. For Neena isn't just a Black Mage, she's a pyromaniac Black Mage; a woman who loves fire and is her first line of offense against her enemies. If someone insults her or her friends she will attempt to, or at least contemplate, flaying them alive with no remorse or regret on the action. Not to mention she can get rather sadistic with such things, even if fire isn't involved.

To her, her enemies are the most entertaining when they see her flames, see her lack of remorse or 'morality' as some may think. When she sees their fear, she smirks, grins and revels in their questioning of her own sanity when she lets her flames blaze forth towards anything that threatens her friends and, possibly, the area she's visiting. To her its all in good fun while also progressing in her Black Magic and getting better wielding the darkness that resides within much like how her mother once did. That is about the extent of her 'insanity' thankfully enough as long as you don't count scaring her friends and setting fire to the small things like hair or clothes.

Despite being devious and often times 'insane' Neena isn't without her humanity. If you become her friend, if you earn her trust and get her to come out of her shell, she will care for you and will defend you even if things seem to go against you entirely. This is especially to those very, very close to her, that she looks up to and feel she can put her emotions and thoughts out to them without fearing her own anxiety. To those who win that sort of trust gain a love that isn't so easily thrown away or destroyed, not unless there's undeniable truth to betrayal. To her it wouldn't matter if you had a bad reputation or even killed people, if she truly cared and loved for you then you were safe from her and would often be protected by her if she feels you are in need of assistance. To those few people, she gives her thoughts to them and it would legitimately make her upset if they came to be annoyed or despise her, but won't show it unless alone with them or someone else she trusted enough to help support her in her emotional state. Because she derives support from the friends she has, Neena is often very judgmental to those who say bad things to them, often wondering how accurate their claims were or if they were out to get her friends. Unless they talk to her themselves about her friends or herself, Neena will continue to silently judge them while occasionally thinking on how to burn them alive.

L I K E S ■ Adventuring // Exploring. She loves traveling to new places and getting the lay of the land, thinking that the world, itself, is her home rather than just the cold lands of Ishgard. ■ Fire. Obviously being a pyro, Neena enjoys the destructive force so much that she uses it the most when summoning her magic. ■ Dragons. As ironic as it is, Neena adores dragons now that she knows of their plight and the exact reason they waged war so many years ago and will defend them with her life. Even if she goes against her father. ■ Cooking. Its one of her favorite pastimes that she has used to remember her mother. She is so dedicated she has decided to go out and gain materials for cooking instead of just buying them. ■ Darkness. Since she is often using the darkness within to channel her Dark Magic, Neena loves the dark and is fascinated of those that live in it, namely Voidsents. ■ Swords // Armor. While she loathes her father's incessant orders to have her fight with a sword, shield and armor she can't help but love the stuff, especially the way they sound.

D I S L I K E S ■ Lord Durendaire. She hates her father, loathes him even because of how he treated her and what he did to her mother, she makes it her mission to do everything he hates just to spite him. ■ Betrayal. If she there is one thing she can't stand is getting stabbed in the back; if she does you bet your ass she will burn you to death. ■ Ignorance. Sure its okay with children but to older folk who feign ignorance to what is happening to them or around them is unacceptable, don't be a dumbass and not realize the entirety of your situation! ■ Strangers // Crowds. Like a true Ishgardian Neena dislikes strangers and then crowds even more; this is because of her social anxiety than of narrow minded ignorance. ■ Snow. While not minding the cold winds and the danger being frozen to death she definitely dislikes the snow because it reminds her of Ishgard and the negative memories that usually are associated with the place. ■ The Archbishop // Heaven's Ward. She hates them with a burning passion, they deserve to be killed in the most painful way possible for what they did. ■ Ascians. To Neena they are a little more than annoyance in theory while the biggest pain in the ass in the field, she wished they'd all just die already.

Q U I R K S ■ Eavesdropping. If Neena hears a conversation with those large ears of hers she is definitely going to listen to the conversation to see if there is anything interesting. ■ Ear Twitching. Her ears often twitch when she hears something with interest or something significant to her. ■ High Places. Often times when she wants to think Neena will go to high places and sit to gaze upon the scenery below.

A P P E A R A N C E

Neena is a very tall woman, but for Elezen standards she is average height. Her skin is a grey color with only white markings on her eyes, which are a light blue color. Her hair is long with a single loose braid in the back and is a wheat-blonde color. She, of course, has long lanky arms and legs along with her long ears that have black stubs attached to them. She often has a staff on her back and a small dragon on her shoulder or flying around her.

Hidden Feelings/Unknown: This character has one of all the color keys above, but Neena isn't fully aware of it yet. F A M I L Y (NPC)   Lord Durendaire ( ♥ ♠ ) ( NPC ) - Father While Neena is the child of Lord Durendaire she hates him with a passion. Not just because she is a bastard but also because he ruined her life ever since her mother was killed. He made her grow up as a male and forced her to endure sword training so that she could help defend Ishgard from Dravanian forces. He absolutely forbad magic of any kind, stripping Neena away from the very thing that she could connect with her mother. Luckily the small pranks she gave him while also naming her Chocobo 'Dravania' and running away to become a Black Mage, much to her father's anger.   Faine Estienne ( ♥  ♥ ✖ ) ( NPC ) - Mother Faine was Neena's biological mother and a mistress of Lord Durendaire. While Neena can't remember much of her mother she knew that she fell in love with her father, who was very kind to Faine before finding out she was a Black Mage. Because Neena watched her mother be burned to death at 6 she still has Night Terrors about it occasionally. She swears by the Twelve she can hear her mother's voice through the power of the Echo. R E L A T I O N S (PC)   Madam Seraphine ( ♥ ♦ ) - Best Friend // Surrogate Mother To say that Neena adores Sera is an extreme understatement. She absolutely loves her. Ever since she was a child Sera had already been the prized servant of the Durendaire household for many years and was ordered by Lord Durendaire to keep watch over his children. This especially included Neena due to her night terrors after her mother died and the fact she always was getting in trouble with, mostly, her father. Since Neena lacked a positive female figure in her life the child instantly attached herself to the Handmaiden and saw her the mother that she never had. Even after finding out Sera's true nature when only 11 years old she stayed by her side, protected her from being found out by the public. Even now with Sera's newest change Neena loves her unconditionally, she is her best friend, her mother and her most cherished loved one.   Lyngbakr Lyngwintsyn ( ♦ ) - Father-Like Figure When first meeting 'Ser Captain' Neena didn't think that he wouldn't really be any more than a friend. Someone to talk to every now and again. But ever since Sera was freed from her shackles of servitude Neena finds herself talking and hanging out with the 'pirate' more and more. Its even gone so far as to say she started to see him as a father-like figure to her person, a person she can emotionally depend on, to show her troubled emotions to. While currently she only sees him as a friend Neena believes in time she will, just like Sera, see him like a father. Until then she will be satisfied in scary the living shit out of him by playing fire around him and sneaking up on him with her dragon.   Typhos Highwind ( ♦ ) - Fellow Warrior of Light Being someone who can hear the wracking of Hydaelyn's words, Neena was glad to know she wasn't the only one subjugated to the torture. But while she was almost unwillingly carrying out the will of the Mother Crystal, Typhos was doing the exact opposite: he was doing whatever he could to help the world out. But even with his hero mannerisms and thoughts Neena likes him, and almost cheers him on with his pursuit of romance with Sera. The only thing that's a bit annoying is his stubbornness and 'goody-two shoes' attitude that pops upon a bit more often than not.   Eadric Miller ( ♦ ) - Adorable Farm Boy To be honest one would think that Neena would despise someone so weak, helpless and unable to have a spine. But actually its the exact opposite, she sort of adores him. She think his mannerisms, naivete and skittishness are really, really cute. So much in fact that she possibly likes him for the fact that he acts like Lord Francel, someone whom she thinks is adorable and used to have a crush on in the past. Of course she has no romantic attraction or want from the boy, but she can't help but compare the two often.   Sarnai Olkund ( ♦   ? ) - Adorable Au Ra Girl Sarnai is another person that Neena can't help but find cute, especially when she gets embarrassed and flustered. Poor girl is too easy to pick on, but thankfully Neena just goes for minor teasing at the most, she doesn't want to unintentionally hurt her, especially with her relation to Eadric.   Lost Hibiscus ( ● ) - Torture Enthusiast She met this woman in the Wench when she accompanied Sarnai. She doesn't know much about her other than the fact that she has Neena's twisted humor with hurting people with element. She looks forward meeting this Roe woman again.   Elf Alred ( ● ? ) - Allagan Scholar? She's only met this guy twice and she really isn't sure how to feel about him. He's so laid back but he knows about the Allagan stuff in the Crystal Tower. He even offered to tell Neena and her friends about the Voidsent stuff within the structure. He seems to have a hidden agenda but isn't afraid to make allies of everyone. For right now Neena thinks of him as an ally, but is keeping an eye on him just in case.   Oliver Amaranth (  ●   ? ) - Child With A Bow When it comes to Oliver Neena has no idea truly what to think about him. They haven't interacted much and the times she has observed him she noticed him being very rude and childish in his rash behavior and words. She isn't sure if he know who Neena, herself, is but one of these days she's determined to let him know why she knows best for Sera since everyone else seems to acknowledge why. For right now she has negative thoughts on the man and thinks that he is nothing but a threat to Sera; often referring to him, in her own mind, the same title Sera gave him when she reverted back to her true form; the "Child With A Bow".   Raeaon Norellia ( ♠ ) - Dumbass Dark Knight To say Neena hates this man is the understatement of the century, she loathes him. He is everything 'typical' of a Dark Knight as you can get, brooding, self-righteous, and thinking he can use the darkness to 'save' people who don't need to be saved. What pisses her off the most is his ever clinging nature to Sera, trying to 'save' her and 'get her back to the way she was'. While he told her he has accepted her Neena doesn't believe it at all and still thinks that he's trying to make Sera feel for him when she can't. After the last confrontation with Rae Neena is satisfied to know that Sera dislikes him, even when he's stupid enough to think she doesn't. If he ever makes the argument that she cares for him cause she feeds on him Neena will point out that Sera is only using him to feed herself. Part of her hopes Sera kills him one of these days when feeding on him.

More butts. O O C    N O T E S Unless otherwise stated, all information below is OOC knowledge. ■ When she was younger D’ly would climb rocks, buildings, trees, walls, and anything else that looked climbable(minus people) without any hand protection resulting in many (mostly shallow)cuts on her palms. Her surface nerves have become dull due to this. She now wears finger-less gloves except when bathing. ■ When someone does something kind for D’ly, more often than not she will have to do something in return. She feels its rude if she doesn’t. ■ Many people think she has a stutter due to nerves. The real reason is because of a damaged vocal cords that she was born with, thus causing her voice to cut out. Thankfully it doesn’t cause her any pain nor does she seem to mind she has that ‘disability’. ■ If one were to pay attention to her words they would pick up that find doesn’t mean fine, but alright does. “Everything is fine.” vs. “Everything is alright.” ■ Spriggans make D’ly nervous and will do her best to avoid them. ■ D'ly really likes flowers and carries a variety of them in some of her pouches and bags. ■ Not only does she carry flowers, but also homemade lavender oil made from the lavenders she collects. (She likes the smell.) ■ When no one is around D’y likes to climb up onto the roof of the Driftin’ Sol to relax. Somehow she is able to get Dodo up there. (Goblet: Ward 1 - Plot 21) ■ D’ly is often found sleeping on or by rocks instead of a bed. She finds that beds tend to be too soft for her back/neck. ■ Within the past few months she has taken up smoking. ■ D’ly has no luck when it comes to fishing. One day she headed out to see if her luck has changed only to end up with a bunch of kelp. Out of annoyance she makes a kelp crown… “Try and laugh at me now, Llymlaen.” ■ She is unable to bare children.
