Appearance & Personality

Standing at 5', with long white hair, darker skin, and ice blue-eyes, Khaida tends to be a striking sight for a miqo'te. Small and slender, she's definitely built more for agility than strength. Her hair can be found up or down, but always long, and while she's left her mask behind her, she dons facepaint in the style of her ancestors. Otherwise, her sense of style seems to bounce all over, but without becoming a clashing mess.

Khaida is a driven, reckless woman with little patience for many things, great patience for the various magical arts of the world and those she calls dear to her, and no fear of death. She is almost always moving, doing something, and has a strong want to see the world righted, to see it flourish and for Eorzea’s people to stand tall and proud once more. Khaida does tend to flirt a great deal, having stopped bothering with 'staying undistracted', and it's not uncommon for her to have a fling or short relationship on top of her 'main', with all parties aware. She has a perhaps skewed sense of morality, but is very firmly against certain things, and remains firmly on the side of 'good'. Gods forbid you get in her way when she's on the warpath, however. She is a vicious miqo'te when her temper is riled.

And don’t insult Nanamo ul Namo or Ul'dah around her. She’s fiercely protective of the Sultana and her city.

Biography

Childhood

Khaida Ahmahno remembers the Shroud, and growing up deep within it. She remembers her mother’s clan, and always wanting more, snapping up the lessons in magic that her clan’s shaman gave her. And always she wanted more. She didn’t want the quiet magics of the world. She didn’t want to hide away in the deep darkness of the Twelveswood. She didn’t want to live in a society where her dearest friend, a male born from a Tia and a Keeper woman, wasn’t even able to have his own name. She and her mother never saw eye-to-eye, but because she was the eldest daughter, she wasn't outcast for the arguments.

Teenage

One day, her mother pushed one too many times for Khaida to act like a proper Keeper woman, and the girl packed up and left. Five years ago. Except she thinks it was just recently she left, as do any who knew her. No one knows there's been five-some years between then and now. And what happened for that to occur? Well, no one knows, seeing as they can't remember.

Present

Khaida has, in the short time since she'd arrived to Ul'dah, made something of a...name for herself. She's proven herself a prodigy with thaumaturgy, has proven herself a staunch ally of Ul'dah and her people, and has made her way into the ranks of the Scions of the Seventh Dawn and the Immortal Flames. She's survived a battle with several primals, ended up helping more people than she cares to think about [she's not in it for the glory, in all truth], and found herself dealing with things she wished she didn't have to...

Enthusiastic Guard ■ "She's in the Quicksand often, usually with a pretty miqo'te in glasses. Pretty sure they're bonded." Observant Regular ■ "There's tell she and those she works with aren't entirely human, having brought down every primal that's risen up lately." Nervous Drunk ◢ Moderate Rumors (Moderately difficult to overhear) ■ "She seems to have a vendetta against amalj'aa. No one knows why." Lazy Brass Blade ■ "Momodi said she's as bad as Thancred lately. Minus the song in my employer's honor." Giggly Waitress ■ "She seems to have a fondness for wild roses. I wonder if she would accept a bouquet..." Swooning Courtier ◢ Rare Rumors (Very difficult or rarely overheard) ■ "There are certain places in the Shroud that Khaida refuses to go. No one knows why." Confused Private ■ "I heard a Couerlclaw call her something once. What it was, I'll never know for sure, because the poacher got poached. Oh come on, that was funny!" Punny Wood Wailer ■ "Lady Ahmahno has stood up against voidsent and lived to tell the tale. She seems to hate them as much as or more than the amal'jaa."

RELATIONS ♥ Romantic Interest ♥ Platonic Love ● Good Standing ● Poor Standing ♥ Gracie Sournois : Gracie is a fellow Scion and a dear friend...and the source of more than a few 'distracting' emotions. They'd talked now and then early in their careers, but it was when they both started noticing the odd behavior of a fellow Scion that they really started to talk. And it all went from there. They work well together, a formidable duo of magic users. ♥ Thancred [NPC] : Khaida’s introduction to the Scions, and someone she’s come to trust with her life and soul. She often seems frustrated with him and his charming ways, but she never chases him off and wishes he would go back to being distracting…Yes, she's in love with the bard, and no, she doesn't want to talk about it. ♥ Brodi'a Right : Khaida's oldest and dearest friend, he was part of the same clan and left before she did. She cares a great deal for him, but the dating thing is just not a thing that's going to happen. Please stop implying it will. She's not interested in the fuzzface in THAT way. Have you HEARD his horrible sense of humor? Just look at the surname he changed to! ● Jinse: Khaida's chocobo, granted to her by the Immortal Flames. She and Jinse have bonded fiercely, the mare fighting alongside her as well as providing her with transportation to areas without aetherytes.
