Chaotic Neutral P E R S O N A L I T Y Nailah as a person is a woman used to the rhythm of the world. She's used to juggling with different facades for different situations, and can seem a little reserved - taking pleasantries and business easily, but rarely anything personal. She enjoys meeting new people, and can often be sighted around various social events - with friends and on her own. Should one be persistent enough to break through her barriers, one would find a Nailah that is showing signs of wear of the years. Her path isn't an easy one, and she finds it hard to leave her worries go and relax. C U R R E N T ♦ S I T U A T I O N Nailah has in recent time turned back to the path of the wanderer, turning her back on what she had become over the past two cycles. She tends to wander both far and wide, remaining elusive about her next destination - as it is likely she is never really truly aware where she is going. She greatly enjoys arriving at new places, but she seems cursed to always move on, restlessness biting at her ankles. She travels around with a trusty old bag that holds most of what she presently owns. Health-wise whilst some areas improve due to the constant exercise, she can appear thinner than usual at times, as food isn't always the easiest thing for her to get a hold of. Her clothes will gradually start to seem more worn as well. L I K E S ■ Wine -- Nailah is quite fond of wine. She prefers red, but has a collection that includes other types, of both pre and post-calamity. She isn't a deadly serious connoisseur, but she does have a good idea of what good and bad wine tastes like. ■ Meeting new people -- Nailah enjoys mingling & making new friends. ■ Good food -- She appreciates a well made meal, especially if it was cooked over an open fire. ■ Honesty -- It makes life easier. ■ Loyalty -- It's good to be able to trust and rely on people, and she practices this - without being naive. ■ Fire -- She finds fire both fascinating and beautiful. D I S L I K E S ■ Liars -- If you let people catch you in the lie, you deserve the reprocussions ■ Rain -- Being around Thanalan so much has given her a disliking to rain, because it never happens conveniently. ■ Hangovers -- She's not overly prone to them, but when she does get them, they really hurt. ■ Commitment -- Nailah tends to shy away from the purest form of commitment. It makes her nervous, uncomfortable and when it involves another person, it scares her. ■ Death -- She has experienced many losses already, and they plague her endlessly. ■ Insanity -- She has lost her mind to paranoia once, and she greatly dislikes even the slightest hint of it reappearing. V I C E S ■ Alcoholism -- Nailah's biggest vice is that she is an alcoholic. She has a tendency to maintain some degree of tipsiness, however it can be hard to tell as she is also quite the functional drunk. It takes a lot to get her to wobble, at which point she usually also starts speaking in plurals. ■ Self-doubt -- "Did I make the right choice?" is a question that often pops up for her, and she can't always answer. A second vice, and one she could tolerate to live without. S K I L L S ■ Trading -- She knows the best ways to haggle, and is savvy on the price on many a thing. She carries items around to this day that she would be willing to trade, if the right offer came along. ■ Thraumaturgy -- Though late to discover her talent for the magics, Nailah does hone some basic skills in Thraumaturgy after she passed the initial course at the guild in Ul'dah. She's got a ways to go before she'll consider herself able to rely on it in combat. ■ Hunting/Trapping -- She is talented with a bow, but she prefers to trap her prey these days. She's an avid hunter of the silver fox, because of the value of it's fur, but she also believes that nothing should be wasted, so she will always seek to sell or make use of the whole kill. ■ Spirituality/Religion. Nailah is not the most devout follower of the Twelve you'll come by. She appreciates blessings, and she has visited sites of the Twelve on occasion. Her values and thoughts on the area are slowly turning. ■ Politics. Nailah is not interested in politics, growing up in Ul'dah has taught her that the coin is what matters, and she isn't phased with trying to accumulate enough to have a say with anything. A P P E A R A N C E ■ Body: Nailah's body is well shaped and generally well maintained. Her strength shows with how her muscles are defined, however she is still a far shot from being completely buff. Her body shows signs of a hard life, and in recent times she may look a touch thinner than usual. ■ Skin: Fair, almost pale at times, though she tends to have a tan from her time under the thanalan sun. Small wrinkles near her eyes have started to form, hinting at her age. ■ Hair: Her hair is well kept in a naturally deep red shade, she tends to wear it tied up or braided for convenience. ■ Eyes: She has grey eyes, but she can see color just fine. ■ Scars: Nailah has quite an assembly of scars from her life. The worst ones are those on her left shoulder, a cascade of burned skin with a surgical scar running along the top, seemingly stemming from a procedure to save her mobility. She also has several scars on her back from knife wounds, branding-like burns and lashings. Her hands have scars that tell of accidents with her utility knife. ■ Clothes: Nailah prefers materials like cloth and leather when it comes to her clothes. One of the best tailors she knows resides in Limsa, and as such her clothes can often have a limsan seafaring look to them, even if she doesn't get in touch with the sea a whole lot. She prefers colors such as black, grey, deepwood green and dark red to match her hair. ■ Jewelry: Nailah does not own much jewlery, and is usually only seen wearing some simple earrings and a necklace. ■ Distinguishing Features: Nailah has a tattoo on her cheek, which she further defines with longer lasting facepaint. It has become somewhat of a ritual for her to refresh it, and she connects it all with a deep feeling of courage.

Very liked the food!" - Flickering Ember ■ "Oh aye, Nailah seems a nice lass. Been a pleasure workin' wiv 'er. Sure knows 'er liquors too." - J'inarah Marad ■ "She's amiable enough, as she seems always ready with a smile and a greeting. She leads a company of capable mercenaries who seem like good people, which is a point tae her credit. Truth be told, though, I thus far haven't managed tae get a real feel for her. I expect I'll continue tae see her around Ul'dah, so perhaps that will change with time." - Brynhilde Wulf ■ "Nailah, eh? Well shit, knew tha' girly back when sh'called 'erself Sastra n'shit. Been more'n a cycle now, I reckon. Respect 'er more'n I do a lo' o'folk. Stood up f'me n'can see shit m'way o'er th'res' o'the fucks tha' go' sticks up their asses. Ain't much care f'er bus'ness or nothin', bu' I'll b'round when sh'calls f'my 'elp." Ronin'ra Jinehga snickered, "N'ye see th'tits on 'er? Reckon y'ain't wanna stand near 'er when sh'starts spinnin' n'fuckin' circles." ■ "She's a highlander and a bit of a brute. Spat at my feet after I offered her the two hundred gil, right in the Quicksand. Felt bad for Momodi having to clean that up," Haydn'to Kalmar grumbled, "She throws a mean right-hook, as well. Broke my nose. Blackmail and kidnapping isn't above her, either. I wouldn't mess with her if I were you." ■ "Miss Sastra? Truly, one owes her much. Mayhaps more than she could ever know, given the turns life has taken since those first suns, so long ago. A kinder heart thou shall struggle to find 'cross all Eorzea." - W'pondahl Amih ■ "Sastra? Aye, I know her." the earthen-skinned Highlander intones in a long, slow rumble. "Goes by her real name, Nailah now. A woman at home on the open road. How she deigns to stay caged by her position is a marvel beyond my comprehension." - Dural Shieldsplitter ■ "Nailah? Says she's an 'ighlander, but honest? Ah've met Lalafell taller! Jokin' aside though, s' clear she cares fer 'er folk more'n anythin' cept f' maybe a nice glass've red, an' that says more'n words ever could as to 'er character, ah reckon." - J'kilid Tia ■ "Nai? Yeah, she means the world to me, and I make damn sure she knows it every chance I get. I just wish she'd take better care of herself and stay off of the Red Wine. In a way I'm glad she doesn't come on missions, because I dread to think of what'd happen if she was wounded or worse." - Ranic Iriq ■ " She's a good woman who has a tendency to land herself in trouble. But hells, I feel like that's a talent her whole family's got. I would warn ya though, if ya have any intentions of askin' her out, I hear she's got an older brother who'll rough you up if you cause any problems. " - Arnvidar Swiftheart ■ "Nai... I love my little sister very, very much, but she is complex. She's a loner. But she's also really not. She's really independent and strong. And sometimes... well, sometimes she needs space where she doesn't have to be. But if she's anything, she's loyal. And warm and loving and fierce. I'm not surprised why she's taken to fire so easily, really. But please... don't give her any reasons to burn you. She's been through enough, and she has a list of allies a malm long right behind her that will see her through any hardship. That's not any sort of threat, though! It's just a fact. She inspires love and loyalty in her siblings and her Kindred." - Ophelia Gale R E L A T I O N S ♥ Romantic Interest  ♥ Platonic Love  ♦ Flirt   ★ Highly respected ☍ Confidant ● Negative relation ☘ Positive relation ☠ Hostile relation ➘ Lost/Minimal contact † This person is no longer alive.

You can tell by looking for: Emotes, walkmode enabled & wearing things that don't look completely silly. Crafting sets is always a sign of great OOC-ness. ■ Involve me in plots/stories/etc, if you feel like it. I'm also willing to play as an NPC from one of my spare alts. ■ Ask me if you're in doubt about anything. E.G: Something I said, something my character did..

E.G: IC use of the Fantasia potion W I L L / W O N ' T ♦ D O ■ I won't ERP for the sake of ERP'ing. I am only ever alright with it if it suits the characters involved and the ongoing setting. ■ Nailah won't commit to any one person romantically, due to OOC reasons. ■ I am fine with M-RP themes such as violence, torture, hostility etc. ■ I am open to pre-established connections for all of my characters.
