Lawful Good General Information A member of the Brass Blades, Ana is only partially known in the city proper, and that is typically amidst her fellow brothers in law enforcement or amongst the seedier, criminal types with her reputation for a plethora of arrests and uncompromising position regarding crimes. She has a few commendations under her belt and mostly handles vice crimes in the port city of Horizon, but has been known to work in Ul'dah itself when in the city on a case. No matter who one asks, however, it is clear she is a no-nonsense withdrawn individual with little love for chit-chat and merrymaking. ❝ Piss off n'let me be. ❞ Appearance Eyes Hair Skin Build Voice A dull, faded emerald. Scarlet red streaked with darker coloration. Richly tanned. Toned, strong. Husky and sensuous. Bearing Laterality Scars Markings Style Cold and distant; sharp-tongued. Right-handed. Gunshot wound to the torso. Clear of blemishes. Befitting of an officer. Hair & Eyes Dimmed emerald, more often than not bloodshot - her eyes, and her face are framed by a slightly unkempt smattering of crimson hair, haphazardly brushed and combed into some measure of cleanliness. Physique & Markings Standing at a height atypical of most female Miqo'te, Ana is a strong woman, and it shows in the curvature of her musculature. While by no means a body-builder, she is powerful. Her form is toned and sculpted from years of training and her time serving with the Brass Blades. Her sun-kissed flesh is clear of blemishes at the first glance. Indeed, only when her midriff is exposed could one determine any harm had befell her at all. A nasty scar over her abdominal muscles - it is a souvenir of a slug extracted by a chirugeon in the past. Hygiene & Attire Clean and presentable, Ana is what one would expect a high-ranking investigator to appear as. Her navy blouse is embroidered carefully, and around the sleeve is typically the armband bearing the insignia of the Rose, marking her as a member of the Brass Blades stationed in Horizon. Looped about her waist is a utility belt, wherein her weapon is holstered and a myriad of tools expected to see use in law enforcement reside. A pair of irons, to be clapped about a ne'er-do-well's wrists, assorted first-aid supplies, and a whistle to alert nearby guardsmen. The faint aroma of lilacs follows in her wake. Personality Psychological Profile Those who typically ask her fellow officers about her all, in the end, hear one thing - her devotion to the law, and a strict moral code of her own conception. She prides herself on being an 'uncorruptable' Brass Blade, who takes no bribes and sees those who do locked up. Her pursuit of justice is absolute, and she has been known to take lives if need be. Quick on the trigger, and blessed with a harsh tongue, she is a cold, crass personality, who ostracizes society at large and condemns herself to solitude. She doesn't like socializing, nor does she like unnecessary chit-chat. Preferring to avoid people unless necessitated, she is a lone wolf, and that suits her just fine. Voice Hailing from the La Noscean midlands, she spent much of her time around sailors and shipwrights; her distinct accent isn't entirely based upon that, though. Much of her childhood was spent amongst the folk in the country, and she has an obvious drawl that inflects itself strongly on her words. Her voice itself is husky and somewhat deep, making her sound more mature in age than she actually is. It's smooth, not scratchy - she sounds as though she might be a good contralto. Philosophy & Mannerisms The way she conducts herself, from her posture to her words to her facial expressions speaks of nothing but disdain and hostility. She is guarded at mostly all times, rarely relaxing or breaking into a smile unless it is at someone else's expense. Her crude demeanor is a safety mechanism; she struggles to cope with the guilt that her time as a Blade has bestowed upon her, and so she regularly shuts people out to insulate herself from further drama. Her outlook on life is entirely cynical, and she wastes away drunk most often than not. Preferences Likes ● Being left to her lonesome, first and foremost. ● A good bottle of whiskey, within which to drown her sorrows. ● Firearms. She is an enthusiast of ranged weaponry. ● The pursuit of justice, and the possession of good morals. ● Respect given due to her office, and her occupation. Dislikes ● Ne'er-do-wells and lawbreakers. She intensely despises anyone who violates the law. ● Gridanians - they're too soft. ● The Garlean Empire and the sort of dictatorship that it stands for. ● Overly-happy people, and fresh-faced recruits. Optimism in general. Skills ● Expert marksmanship; she's a crack shot with a gun. ● Deductive reasoning and forensic sciences. ● Alchemy, actually, given her profession. ● Physical strength, and a proficiency with non-lethal takedowns.

History Disclaimer: Work in progress. Sixth Astral Era Childhood Born to a Miqo'te prostitute and sired by a Rear Admiral in the Thalassocratic Navy, Ana grew up living in poverty with her mother. Most of her time was spent on the docks, around sailors and shipwrights. With her mother gone tending to her clients to get money necessary for their lifestyle, she wandered around Limsa and came to know it's seedier side quite well. She was never recognized by her father, given that it was an extramarital affair. This left her a bastard, and as she grew older, led to a bad reputation amongst her familiars. The 'bastard daughter'a th'Admiral's lapdog' is what she was known, and it gave credence to her distancing herself from others. As a far glirlier Miqo'te than was typical, she was also subjected to much humiliation. But finally, with enough coin saved, her mother spirited her away from the pirate-laden shores of La Noscea to somewhere she thought they might be able to make a better living. Thanalan is where they set out to, and soon, they arrived in the Jewel of the Desert, Ul'dah itself. It was here her mother's skill as a weaver was thought to earn them a proper life, but no such mercy was afforded. When business fell through and the wealthy did not purchase her finely-crafted designs, she was forced to return to a life as a woman of the night. However, soon they would found out that Ul'dahn prostitution was far less forgiving than their comparatively easier life under the captains of the pleasure barges in Limsa. Earning less gil and suffering more abuse, Ana and her mother often found themselves on the streets, making it by only on the gil from her mother's line of work and from compassionate souls. For a time, this was a stable, if distressing existence, but again tragedy would see everything uprooted. As she grew into her teenage years, and her mother became older, interest in her declined; mild-mannered young nobles, whom were frequent clients before, did not seek the company of an aging Miqo'te. Stranger individuals with darker tastes did, however, and it was one such Duskwight who, after a failed attempt to force himself on the senior Issek, eviscerated her with his blade. At the age of fifteen, Ana was then left without her mother, and was alone in the city of Ul'dah. Anger brewed within her - it was then she felt the festering hatred she did for the rogues and brigands that blighted society as a cancer. People like her father, like the man who murdered her mother - like her owner, and everyone who took advantage of them. Shortly thereafter, she sought a new purpose in life. A streetside beggar was what she was meant to be no longer.

Relationships Relationship Status Legend ღ Relationship ❣ Attraction ♡ Complicated ♦ Friend ✝ Deceased ✔ Positive ✖ Negative ● Neutral � Unsure Family L'traya Issek ( ✝ ✔ ) Mother Ana's mother was there for her throughout her life, and her untimely death struck a deep blow to the Miqo'te on an emotional level. Despite her position as a prostitute and the unsavory work she did to keep the family alive, she was a kind, caring individual. Ana's strong independence can be attributed to her mother's teachings; living in squalor and as poor refugees from Limsa taught her to depend on herself. Would that it be she could have stopped her mother's passing. Acquaintances Errol Vennoix ( ✔ ) Friend An errant Elezen exiled from Ishgard on charges of being a heretic, his constant badgering of her to open up to him earned himself a rare spot as one of her closer friends within the city of Ul'dah; she presumes him to have some sort of attraction to her, but such is unrequited. Irregardless, despite how brusque and distant she can typically be, she's shared more of herself with Errol than anyone else, really, and trusts him with her life despite how she treats him.
