Appearance & Personality

Appearance:

Nai would be considered a runt amongst her tribe at only 56 ilms (4'8"). While tiny at first glance, however, the little kitten has gone to great lengths to make up for what she lacks in height with strength. Most easily noted in her arms and chest, she sports lithe, packed muscle under a layer of feminine softness (strong, but not without some body fat), built to either deliver a powerful blow or brace to absorb one.

Her face is soft, a pleasant heart shape with delicate-looking features, her lips often lightly glossed in a soft lilac. Vibrantly blue eyes are slanted in a manner reminiscent of her more feline traits, lined with dark lashes and sporting the tell-tale slit pupil of the Seeker breed of Miqo'te, lined with a dusting of blue-purple eyeshadow. Her hair is kept long and held up in a high ponytail, sleek and bone-straight, a soft lavender color to match the fur of her ears and tail. Hidden by her bangs, a pair of tan stripes reach from the arch of her brows to her hairline, though the two pair that cross her cheeks, just below her eyes, remain perfectly visible.

Personality:

Flirty, competitive, and utterly, completely shameless are a few good words to sum her up. In general, Nai is a very outgoing, affectionate person with little awareness in the area of personal space. She's just as likely to touch, or even hug, a stranger as she is a friend (though friends are far more likely to have a Naibarnacle at some point during any given encounter). She's quick to tease, though she tempers the worst of her barbs with a warm tone and amused eyes. That's just her way of showing affection: The more she banters with someone, it generally means she's quite fond of them. It's the silence that generally tells of her wrath.

The only public deviation of this generally upbeat, sociable attitude is when there's a male Seeker about. If she's noticed him, she will generally go quiet and try not to draw attention to herself, even to the point of taking her leave of current company. If approached by one, she seldom makes eye-contact and becomes very withdrawn and shy, but will not disengage unless dismissed or left alone.

Rumors Rumors may be greatly exaggerated or flat out untrue. Please feel free to add your own rumors under the PC section! ◢ Common Rumors (Easily overheard) ■ "Isn't that the dancer girl from Ul'dah? She's put on a lot of muscle these last few years. Bet she'd be a real ride now, heh heh." ■ "Seen 'er hangin' off the arm of our very own Corbeaux Baptiste, aye. Girl sure knows who t' bat 'er eyes at..." ◢ Moderate Rumors (Moderately difficult to overhear) ■ "Pfeh. Don't bother unless you're some long-eared fop. Why a Miqo'te's so fixated on Elezen is beyond me." ■ "Word has it, she moved in like she owned the place not long after the Gentleman Bastards were reformed. You didn't hear it from me, but you want a word in with them, you drop a line in that miqo'te's ear." ◢ Rare Rumors (Very difficult or rarely overheard) ■ "She's got family local-like, but she won't breathe a word who it is. Apparently, their whole tribe was near wiped out in the Calamity." ■ "Th' way she tells it, y'd think she's some r'fined lady. Didn' hear it from me, bu' I seen men follow tha' one an' ne'er be 'eard from 'gain. Bloody siren, she is." ◢ PC Rumors (Add some and sign your character's name!) ■ Erimmont Chevalier: There was once a time we were closer than anything. Yet as of late, she's fallen into a spider's web and foolishly thrown herself further into it, deaf to the words of reason. I adore her, that much is true. However, it won't surprise me if she should end up dead if the pattern continues. ■ Corbeaux Baptiste: Loyalty is a rare thing in my world, and I treasure it and reward it more than any other trait. Give the girl a reason and she'll walk through starfire for you. Even if the reason is simply that you will it of her. ■ Lyngbakr Lyngwintsyn: I've done alot o' stupid shite in me life, an' callin' 'er 'aircolour 'pink' was one o' 'em! Never talk 'bout 'er 'aircolour, If looks could kill, I'd be dead already! ■ (Feel free to add your own!) RP Hooks You might know Nai if... You belong to the off-shoot A-tribe she came from. (Please message me in-game for more information concerning this.) You lived/worked in Ul'dah within the last eight years: She delivered gathered goods and fish before the Calamity. (Age 14-15) A year after the calamity, she turned to whoring to survive. (Age 15-17) Once she developed physically, she worked herself into being an upper-class Courtesan. (17-20) She eventually began participating in the Bloodsands as a sort of novelty. (20-21) You attended or associated with the Vylbrand Academy: Nai was head of security for most of her time there. She also tended the bar for a few moons during open Tavern Nights and events. You are active currently within Limsa Lominsa: She's often seen within or around the Drowning Wench. Word has it she's working for Corbeaux Baptiste.

Relationships ♥ Romantic Attraction    ♥ Family     ● Friends ● Neutral    ● Not Trusted    ! Enemies ♥ A'khebica Ginwa - Her baby cousin, Nai is fiercely protective of Khebi, one of her few remaining family members. ♥ A'kiina Saazhu - Her niece, recently reunited in Limsa! She loves Kiina to bits and is just as fiercely protective of her as she is of Khebi. Family is few and far between, she'll do anything to keep her safe and happy. ● Ciel Sauveterre - A lovely bard and long-time friend, Nai both envies and delights in her talent with song. She recently touched base with her again when Ciel was Bonded. ♥ Corbeaux Baptiste - Her employer and lover. Now freely admitting her love of the towering duskwight, it's very plainly clear to anyone who observes the pair interacting that he is her world, all else comes second to him. She's very openly affectionate with him and can often be seen lingering at his side with a hand on him in some shape or form, be it a fond embrace or simple hanging onto the fabric of his skirt/robe. 💔 Desant Valeroyant - Her former lover, though she still loves him dearly. She currently has no clue as to his whereabouts. ! Erimmont Chevalier - Once the best of friends, she no longer views this man as the one she befriended so long ago in Vylbrand Academy. He has since made open threats and insults toward her (the latter concerning her treatment of Desant), going so far as to even draw his gun and aim it at her chest when she had done naught but aim a kick at his leg. ● Lhei'to Tayuun - The Keeper she ended up 'living' with over part of her 22nd summer. She hasn't seen much of him since and misses him a great deal. ● Lyngbakr Lyngwintsyn - One of the few roegadyn friends she's made, Nai is quite fond of 'Captain Lyng', as she tends to call him. He watches out for her and in turn she does what she can to aid him when he needs it, be it with a bow, a shield, or just a hug. ● Minox Moks‎ - While Nai has spent weeks sitting in the Drowning Wench and overhearing conversations involving the au ra and her brother, there had never really been much interaction until Lyng directed the pair to talk while he was busy elsewhere. In doing so, she has found something of a kindred spirit in a shared love of fishing and a mutual desire to see the Captain safe. ● Staelufre Lysmerl - An odd kitten, to be sure, but Nai is very fond of her and her quirky ways. She tries (and mostly fails) to understand the way she tends to speak in metaphors, though has resigned herself to mostly looking to Corbeaux for translations. A fellow lover of sweets, there's often an abundance of pastries and cakes to be had when the two pastel-colored miqo'te are together. And if that doesn't give you cavities, the habit of petting and cuddling sure will.
