Basic Info

General Overview

Meenya is a half-hyur Miqo'te. Born to a Miqo'te mother, V'mage Byh, and a Hyur father, Thormod Lockheart. Although this is becoming more and more common, being neither Miqo'te nor Hyur leaves Meenya with identity issues and an inferiority complex. Keeping herself distant from others and has very few friends to speak of. Despite what she may tell you herself, Meenya is a skilled warrior and survivalist. She believes that her young age disqualifies her from such titles. She has a natural talent with a lance and is a gifted Dragoon. Outside of a handful of spells she has little understanding of the way of magic. Preferring to solve her problems with steel and strength rather than magics and mind. She is gifted with the Echo, but has no understanding what it is or what it means. She speaks with a terrible stutter.

History

• Childhood - Meenya was born and raised in Gridania. Her third year of life was a difficult one, unbeknownst to her, having developed the power of the Echo. She was beset by countless nightmares of the deaths of people she had never met, her waking hours tormented by the Red Moon. For someone so young this caused the child no shortage of tears. Meenya's parents sought the conjurer's guild for aid fearing the worst for their daughter. Due to many others experiencing similar problems the Conjurer's could not help. Thankfully these problems decreased over time until they vanished almost entirely. At age five she began Lancers training under her father. Learning the arts of war and survival skills. She played and fought in the woods of the Black Shroud for much of her young life. Daydreaming of the lives of adventures like her father before her.

• Teenage Years - When Meenya was 12 her father became ill and the lancers guild oversaw the last year of her training. After which her father told her to journey west to Coerthas and from there to Dragonhead. She was to seek and request to undertake Dragoon training from her father's former master. Only a few months into her training the calamity struck. Meenya had been out in the field when Dalamud failed and Bahamut was released. It had been luck that she found herself at the edge of the destruction and only has a small scar to show for it. After which she abandoned her training returned home to aid with recovery efforts. One year after the Calamity Meenya returned to her training at her fathers insistence.

• Adulthood - At age 17, around the time of Ishgard reopening, completed her Dragoon training. Earning her armor and spear with surprisingly little effort. Upon her next return home her father bestowed upon her his own Dragoon Soul Stone. Telling her that she had earned the right to the family heirloom. Something she carries with no small amount of pride. From here her decisions were her own. Upon finding a flyer for the Phoenix Nest brought by a merchant from Ul'dah. After some thought she decided to go there and request to be taught how to be an adventurer. This was not a well thought out plan. Having no Gil to afford an Airship ticket she Traveled on foot from Gridania to Ul'dah. The journey was long and perilous. Her survival training meant little outside the forests of the Black Shroud or the snowy hills of Coerthas. It was a struggle that could have costed her life, but one that paid off in the end as she was accepted into the school by Turik Flarewyng.

Personality

Meenya is very shy when talking to new people due to her inferiority complex. Believing that there's nothing she can do that a pure blood cant do better. Possibly Meenya's biggest challenge, as she is so concerned with others' feelings that she refuses to make her thoughts known, or to take any duly earned credit for her contributions. Never letting others aid her on the grounds that to do so would burden another. A lack of emotional expression often causes her to a lot of stress and frustration. Someone persistent enough could get her to open up about her feelings. However someone too pushy could cause her to lock up entirely. She has tremendous trouble opening up to people, but underneath that is a kind and honest person. She is always ready to help someone else and is incredibly patient. Despite her own trouble with emotional expression she is a pillar of emotional support for those that need it. On the field of battle on the other hand its as if someone else steps into her body. Meenya's shy demeanor and anxiety melts away leaving a cool confident warrior behind. After a fight she returns to her normal self, usually stating that said battle was only won by luck and not due to anything on her part. If the battle was lost she would say that this was the only expected result because she was not skilled enough to win. Meenya's love of adventure stories has left her with a desire to learn about the world and its people. She is a quick thinker and adaptable in combat situations. Outside of that she can be rash and doesn't think things though settling on a goal rather than a plan.
