Gender Female Race Hyur Clan Midlander Citizenship Ul'dah Server Balmung Age 35 Blood Type O Negative Class Hand-to-Hand Combat Specialist Free Company The Coral Sea Residence Rinannis Repair Shop Summary Lilithium Rinannis (Lilith-ium Ri-nan-is) is a older Hyur midlander who is often seen in and around Ul'dah, Mists, Goblet and various other parts of Eorzea. Her maternal nature and affectionate disposition leaves her well liked by most who come across her. Widowed three years before the Calamity and with her three children all grown and out of the house as of roughly 3 years ago, Lili finds that she's able to focus on herself and her own happiness for the first time since her teens. It's left her with many doorways of oppurtunity to choose from, some full of light and adventure while others harbor a darker purpose... She has recently retired from running the Free Wing Society, instead taking her time to pursue other interests and spend the time with her husband, Locke, and her two adopted boys Adokenai and Mikh'a. She has invested in side projects here and there, one of which recently being the tinkering of guns alongside her husband. Note: Lili is able to see the aether of various individuals she meets. They manifest as light and colors, and I will sometimes whisper people OOC to determine what their aether is like so Lili can react or adjust accordingly. (Profile under heavy construction) Appearance Standing at 5 fulm and 4 ilm, Lili is used to seeing the world from the shorter side of things. She used to wear her pale blonde hair long and nearly to her elbows, but has since dyed it a darker blonde that she intends to keep permanent. Her eyes are very light green with a silvery cast to the color to give it an unique, shimmering quality. While her features deceive others of her true age, she bares what marks she has with pride: Some crows feet at the corner of her eyes that show when she laughs, and similar lines at the corner of her lips that only start to show when she is smiling broadly. Having bared three children (which included twins), she was left with rather shapely hips and added curves that she had not possessed in her youth. One of the physical features most noticed by some who meet Lili is her rather large bust despite her small size. It usually causes her a myriad of problems, as some of her shorter Miqo'te friends and Lalafell companions sometimes get suffocated when she hugs them. The rest of her is well toned from the muscle and strength it takes to wield her axe and fist weapons, and sun kissed from her years by the shores of Limsa or the sands of Ul'dah. Over time, these muscles have grown more soft though she works on their upkeep in her spare time. Lili doesn't have many scars. One is on her face that is thin and horizontal along the bridge of her nose. The others are not easily visible: a large roughly circular burn on her stomach near the region of her gut. The other is a very, very faint bite mark on her hip that never fully healed.

She tends to look out for those around her, especially those that she feels a soft spot for, or those around her children's age (teens to early twenties). Though this maternal drive of hers doesn't make her a pushover in the least, as it is possible to ignite her ire with the right buttons being pushed. Over all, she's calm and even tempered and usually the voice of reason for those around her. Ever one to play devil's advocate. She has a surprisingly emotional and sensitive side that only a handful of people have been able to witness. Beliefs/Philosophy Error creating thumbnail: File missing Everyone Deserves a Chance.

After no body being found over the last near decade he's been gone, everyone has safely assumed he is dead and Lili no longer mourned her first and only true love. However, during a series of events to give Kao a new body they came across a Garlean named Velstraz who was used as Kao's new host body. After the metaphorical smoke cleared, it was revealed to actually have been Ghislan who now was of body and mind with Lili's friend and employee. She stepped awkwardly around the Highlander until he was taken into the custody of the Sitting Circle where him and Ox were removed from each other's bodies. She hasn't seen him since but knows him to be in their company still. Last she heard, anyways. ♥●Locke Rinannis: She had seen this man when he was around one of the free company houses next to Blacktalon, though never spoke to him or approached him. Later, she heard he was looking for work and offered him a job at the Society. He's one of her most quiet employees, and as a result she actively tries to drag him around the others and be social. The more time Lili has spent with him the more affectionate she had become, as well as trusting of him. He's shared many secrets with her, all of which she keeps to herself. Their relationship has gradually grown out of the public eye, but it doesn't seem to affect their business relationship. Now a days, they are openly affectionate with one another even around other people and Lili seems quite smitten with the younger blonde. Recently he has proposed and the two are now married. ●Adokenai Rinannis: A young Lalachild who Lili met at the Quicksand one day. Since meeting, Lili had adopted the little boy as her own. He calls her 'Mom' and is a regular part of her routine since her retirement as enabled them to spend more time together. His mischievous and curious nature constantly keeps the veteran mother on her toes. ●Mikh'a Rinannis: A little Keeper kit about one year of age, Lili adopted this little tyke and can sometimes be seen carrying him around. As a baby his interests are narrow, but he certainly seems to love new people! And Gran! ●Khavan Nightwing: Lili's oldest child and oldest son. At nineteen years of age, nearing twenty, Khavan is engaged to a male elezen and usually bothers Lili for wedding preparation. ●Sarameda Silverlark: Youngest twin daughter of Lilithium Altair and Amore Silverlark. Sara is the more sickly of the already medically ailed twins, having spent much of her life bedridden or confined for the sake of her own health. Recently with the help of Doctor Titor Jaraba Lili has found she can breathe easier as Sara's health seems to gradually improve. Or, at the very least, is stabilized...for now. ●Deisarameda Silverlark: Oldest twin daughter of Lilithium Altair and Amore Silverlark. Dei is the more heated of the two and known for her more abrasive and surly nature. Sometimes downright rude and blunt, Dei also prides herself on her elusiveness and staying out of sight more often then not. ●Rahsha Altair: A Sunseeker miqo'te that Lili's parents found when Lili was only five. Abandoned on a supply ship, no one knows her tribal origin and could never relocate birth parents. Rahsha and Lili grew apart after Lili left home, and now the two rarely see one another. A short time ago she learned what hand Rahsha had to play in the death of their parents, and while it's helped Lili understand her adopted sister more, it still hasn't mended the bridge between them. Rahsha rarely, if ever, makes an appearance in Lili's life and the blonde doesn't often speak of her absent sister. ●Andromeda and Reiko Altair (deceased): Lili's parents died shortly after the twins were born in a simple but tragic fire. Both were botanists who were unmatched in their knowledge of the land and its bountiful treasures. Knowledge that they passed on to Lili before they passed. Friends ●Aeron Volkova: One of those working at the Salvage with her husband, Locke, Lili has gotten to spend a little time with Aeron. First when he cooked her and Locke dinner in her home, then later when she delivered him some baked goods. She considers Aeron to be 'a very nice young man'. ●Aya Foxheart: The Quicksand's favorite barmaid, Lili worked alongside C'kayah to help Aya with some personal problems, and offered the woman multiple safe places to hide away at should she had needed it. They were never close, but Lili regards her fondly with a friendly smile whenever they happen to come across each other. ●Chachanji Gegenji: Lili has spent some time with this Lalafell and his trust companion, Gran, and finds both to be charming, endearing, and finds it amusing how much Gran and Mikh'a get along and seem to bond even if the porker acts like he doesn't like the cub. ●Chokho Viqqoh: A Keeper woman Lili met at the fishfry event the Society put on, she flirted rather heavily with Lili and even poured a cup of water on her to see her wet in her bikkini. They met up later when they found out they were neighbors, and have started a comfortable friendship that never developed into anything more. Since her retirement, Lili has seen very little of the Keeper but she still regards her fondly. ●●C'kayah Tia: A Miqo'te who once supplied Lili with alchemical materials she was having a hard time acquiring, he was smitten with her from the start and she rejected his advances over and over again. Instead, teasing him with playful retorts and equally playful skepticism. Eventually, they were mated and even engaged for a time, though their open relationship and some disputes led her to taking her leave of the male. When her son Adokenai Altair was kidnapped, she turned her sights to her almost-husband for aid, which C'kayah gave. With the aide no longer being needed, they haven't seen or spoke to one another and Lili seems neutral on the subject of whether that should change. ●Clover Blake: A young woman Lili only met once before via Xydane when she lived up the hill from the Society. ●Dheina Tayuun: A young Miqo'te she met when coming back to Ul'dah via her old mate, Darturu. They keep in touch sporadically, and have a pleasant friendship. ●Kal Numara: A Highlander woman who is also a friend of Lili's. Usually teasing her, and constantly referring to her as 'Mama' or 'Mama Lili'. Such teasings are usually met with Lili retaliating (playfully so). ●Kenthy Pennyfeather: A miqo'te Lili met through her interactions with C'kayah and the Morbolvines, she's looked to the woman as a casual friend despite all of their differences and previous disputes. She was to C'kayah what Kaiten was to Lili during the time Lili and C'kayah were together. They are friends, and Lili has helped the woman by giving her advice and aid. These days, however, their lives have simply taken them different directions. Kaiten Skyborn: If asked who this person is or about him, she'd blink at you and look utterly puzzled. "...Who?" ●Kaohastraal Aeseroix:A very large roe man that was introduced to Lili via T'shina at the fish fry event. His Garlean name took her aback at first, but when they started talking he eased her mind and explained some of his story. He admitted to having an interest in her, but she preferred to be friends over anything. After he joined the Free Wing Society, she began helping him with matters regarding his 'health', which led to a shocking turn of events...(See Family section above as "Ghislan Nightwing"). After all those events passed, Lili entrusted him with taking over the Society in her stead so she could start her retirement. His recent passing isn't a subject Lili likes speaking of. ●Katiti Kati: Lili met this Lalafell around the time she met Ado, who served alongside Toff as one of the Lalachild's unofficial guardians. She eventually joined the Society, being hired as Ado's official teacher. Lili trusts her judgement, but worries with how much she stresses over things all the time. ●●Kolhi'to Embhre: Creator of the Blacktalon Vanguard and Lili's former employer, Lili has known Kol for quite some time. However, they seem neither friendly nor hostile. ●Leon Maxwell: A young boy Lili met through Tenha'a, she's done her best to look out for his well being and educate him on matters he inquires about, such as love. Knowing a few tidbits about his current health and situation, she's been doing some research into what can possibly be done to help him. Between her work in the Society and his involvements in other matters, assisting him hasn't been as large of a priority. Recently, she learned that he found a cure which brought her happiness to know that perhaps now he could live a long and healthy life. ●Liandri Mei: One of Lili's employees and a spunky redheaded miqo'te who likes to drink. While dabbling in things Void related, Lili tries her best to protect the woman and her secrets from behind the scenes. They've grown friendlier with time, and have had moments of girl gossiping. Since Li left the Society and Lili retired, they have only seen each other briefly. The last of which was a farewell as Liandri passed into the afterlife around the same time Ox did. Another death that Lili does not speak about. ●Liliana Nazareth: A young mother who looks like Lili from bust size to hair color to profile and even eyes (save the color). Their similarities have gotten the two confused for one another in the past. ●Mouse Wytchwood: A miqo'te girl with odd origins and green hair, Lili regarded the girl with motherly affection and still does should she come up in conversation. ●Thrandis Dale: Having met outside of the Quicksand, Thrandis approached Lili with the desire to have one of the freshly baked rolls she happened to have in a basket on her person. He followed her to the lane, where they fed some of the orphans and chatted. Since then they meet up now and again for pleasantries and conversation, with Lili recently agreeing to teach Thrandis how to read and write, which she never got to fulfill before his untimely demise. ●Titor Jaraba: An alchemist that Lili has seen around off and on through the work they both do helping those in Ul'dah with their regents and tonics. While not close, Lili has recently come to him about helping with research towards a cure for the illness her twin daughters share. The revelation of him sharing a similar condition made her feel more at ease. She's, overall, very fond of the young doctor. ●●Toff Vaughn: One of Ado's original guardians, Lili went to Toff and Katiti before she formally adopted Ado. While she respects the man, his childish bouts of attitude test the limits of her temper, including with how he has grown the habit lately of flirting with taken women. Whether he seems to know they're taken or not. After running into the man at the Grindstone and also getting to meet his future wife, she feels far more at ease about him then before. ●●Togy Brandmakt: A previous lover, the two separated due to Togy's wanderings and traveling keeping them apart moreso then together. While not on bad terms, his unstable nature and her mixed responses to his off days makes their interactions a hit-or-miss. ●Xydane Vale:A mysterious man Lili only met once in passing at the Botanist Guild. He was looking for a young woman (Clover Blake) and asked Lili to give her a bouquet of flowers should she ever find her. She ended up coming across him and Clover at random right in front of her house where the flowers were then delivered and food was given to them both. She finds him to be friendly enough, though a little sad. Enemies ●Zaiaku Kurai: Lili didn't think much of the man when they first met. But the moons worth of on again off again mind games and his attitude and actions against Ado have made her positively hostile. It even led to a battle in which Zaiaku yielded and promised to leave Ado be. However, he then kidnapped Ado in exchange for her property and hand in marriage, though the little boy has since been returned safely to her and the marriage he desired never happened. Since then, she heard he's gone into hiding and little has been made known since.
