​

Personality

​Seyonne believes herself to be approachable and friendly, yet she often comes off as secretive and aloof.  She doesn't like to be the center of attention.  She is kind to those who are truly down on their luck, but is highly skeptical of sob stories and drama.  She can also be vain, self-indulgent, reckless and impulsive.

​

Fighting Style

​Seyonne prefers to enter combat only as a last resort.  When left no other option, she will first try to ambush her adversary from a distance using her bow.  If cornered, she will fight dirty, strategically using her knees, elbows and daggers in an attempt to quickly incapacitate her opponent.

Common Rumors

• "She's the best courier this side of Mor Dhona. If you need somethin' delivered, she'll get it there.  But if yer in a hurry, it'll cost ya."
• "Some say she's a charlatan, but when she read my cards, she told me things that no one else could possibly know."
• "I've heard she plays the most haunting melodies on that lute of hers.  Pity she doesn't play more."

​

Moderate Rumors

• "She's a tall drink of water on a hot afternoon, but you'll find a dagger in your giblets if you put the moves on her."
• "Nice enough lass, but things tend to turn up missing after she's moved on."
• "When it comes down to it, the girl just doesn't have the heart for dirty work."

​

Uncommon Rumors

• "Her grandmama put a curse on some fancy nobleman in Ul'dah. Folks say they've never seen boils on a man's face like that.  On his arse, too, from what I heard."
• "I heard she was thrown out by her family.  No idea what for, but she's better off without those good-for-nothings anyway."
• "The lass sold some poor sod a potion for endurance and fortitude, if ya know what I mean. When he met up with ol' Luvinia at the Mizzenmast, let's just say that he couldn't hoist his main sail.  She's a swindler, that one."
