Bearing Laterality Scars Ethereal, confident. Ambidextrous, right-handed preference when writing. One major scar (face), many minor (body). Hair & Eyes Her hair has carried a variety of styles and shades over the years, having started out her life with platinum blonde hair that lightened to white during her youth. She tends to bounce between colors, styles and lengths as so fits her. One week might find her with short black hair, while the next week brings with it an entirely different look. One thing she doesn't believe in when it comes to her hair is permanence. Her eyes are a steely shade of silver, and one of the most expressive parts of her, showing smiles that her face might not otherwise match, and whatever mischief might definitely be on her mind. Physique & Markings Standing at six fulms and six ilms, Meallaire is tall for a woman, even an Elezen, and is a scant ilm shorter than her husband and partner. Physically she's stockier than some Elezen, with a heft to her body that is a mixture of curve and muscle, the former much more apparent at first glance than the latter. She's grown more slender over the years, though her weight maintains because of the physical regimen she follows, easily half again as heavy as most women of her height and size. Facially she appears mature, but not old, looking to be in her mid to late thirties. This youthful appearance is somewhat superficial, as the woman has easily seen more than the years one would expect to her, her appearance maintained through the use of alchemy, conjury, and a strict physical regimen. She bears a single scar on her face, stretching up over her left eye and ending in the middle of her cheek. She has numerous smaller scars across her body, representing a life full of accidents, conflict and the little day to day mishaps that leave behind a mark. Hygiene & Attire While she won't hesitate to get dirty, and even bloody, she prefers being clean a majority of the time. She carries a strong earthy scent to her, beneath the smell of whatever other plant or alchemical mixture she happens to have been working with most recently. She does her best to wear clothing that is in excellent shape, but her attire is as varied as anything else about her might be. When in combat with a sword she prefers a mixture of leather and plate, when utilizing her martial arts she prefers flexible leather armor that doesn't inhibit her movements, and when working spells she prefers robing with pockets and pouches to carry all of the components and other miscellaneous items she might need during the course of her work. Worn Items of Note ❄ A simple silver band with an ornate multicolored gem, her bond ring. ❄ A single stud piercing through her tongue, made of highly polished gemstone.

Personality In her youth she was a very quiet and studious intellectual who mostly kept to herself, the primary company in her life her father, aunt and the voices of the Elementals. Age has turned her serious, though she maintains an open-mind within certain subjects. She's an eager student to anything she hasn't yet learned, taking in knowledge about people, magic, combat, tradeskills, and ancient history with an ease that explains her intellect and varied skillset. A lifetime littered with loss and sorrow has left its mark on her, with several of her children buried in the ground, and a shroud of melancholy that drapes around her when left to her own introspective thought. When her family is involved, she's a very dedicated and affectionate individual, albeit also very protective, sometimes to the point of sheltering her loved ones. Though it takes quite a bit to rouse her to action, when she gets going, she's a very hot-blooded woman who has a cynical streak a mile long, and a sharp tongue to go along with it. That said, those who threaten her family find her to be quite fierce, as she shifts gears from an individual who prefers to rationalize everything, to someone who is suddenly flinging fists and spells in their direction with equal levels of ire and cold hatred. With her youth spent traveling, she has a deep wanderlust that keeps her moving, with few places becoming 'home' for more than a year or two at best. Regardless of the almost nomadic lifestyle that she and her husband live, she'd drop all of her travels to come to the aid of those she cares for. Despite all of her growth and the changes she's undergone, some things will never change: she considers herself no more a villain or hero than any other Eorzean, but is capable of turning herself into either if pushed to it. Voice Smoky, warm and lilting, Mea's voice is exactly what one might expect from a grown woman, with the mannerisms to match. She speaks with a very even tone, rarely raising her voice even when angry, or highly emotional. Her accent is difficult to place, a cultured voice with a mostly indiscernible mixture of tones and words gained from her years of travel across the world. Her singing voice is similarly warm and can stretch quite high or low, though it has a slightly huskier edge to it. Philosophy & Mannerisms Meallaire has strong opinions and views, and her philosophical outlook tends to be just as strongly opinionated. As a woman who lives an open and relatively free lifestyle with her husband, she understands that free will and choice are extremely important in life, but just as important is maintaining that free will for others. As such, she does her best not to shove her attentions, affections, or interest on an individual who is unresponsive to her in any way. Her age has given her a unique perspective on life and the way many people live it. Many consider themselves good or evil, but she knows that life can't be quantified down into black or white, or good and evil. There are too many variations, and a reason for everything. When it comes to mannerisms, she has a few consistent traits to her. She's incredibly loyal when someone gains her trust. She does her level best not to make any promise she doesn't feel she can keep, even if that promise happens to sound rather outlandish at the time. She won't hesitate to teach anyone else who asks after her about any of the knowledge she's gained over the years, with rare exceptions. And she'd give up almost anything to protect her family.

That said, I prefer freeform, and use what is referred to as an "interrupt" style of RP combat, in that when an action is performed, a description of the effects (such as in the case of spells, etc) it would have is included. It is then up to the other individual to defend against the action and/or mitigate the effects as they're described. Don't hesitate to send a /t if you have questions, or are uncertain about a specific action performed in a battle.

Artistry & Business Probably Meallaire's greatest hobby, the cultivation of plants and new subspecies of flora is one of the things that the woman prides herself on. Through careful study and experimentation, she has begun growing plants that are often found in other parts of the world, typically for personal use and never shared with others except in the form of an ingredient used in one of her many concoctions or tinctures, or as part of an herbal tea. More recently, she's started a flower shop in the Shroud that sells both flowers for decoration, as well as herbal tea mixtures. Alchemical Cooking Meallaire has the most experience with cooking. She tends to cook with an elegant flourish, and favors candies and cakes, but she can make just about anything, ranging from traditional Eorzean dishes to the more unique cuisine of Othard, and indeed, lands far beyond. But take away her fancy pots and pans, and she's just as happy cooking over an open fire with a simple metal pot and fresh spices. She's more of a personal fondness for savory rather than sweet. Her specialties are small chocolate candies, filled with cream and fruit, a sort of cordial cherry type dish, which she makes with a number of both sweet and sour fruits. To go along with her skill at cooking, Meallaire is also an alchemist of no small amount of skill. She crafts natural and magically based philters, draughts, and elixirs, all of which she offers for purchase. She also creates experimental potions and drafts, finding new ways to push the envelope with her creations. One of the ways that she utilizes her alchemical cooking is in taking the sting, as it were, out of some of the more nasty tasting potions. She has also used these methods to make unique treats, such as delicate spun chocolate creations, and frozen sweet cream made into tiny dots of flavor which melt together to become a rather delicious whole.

NPC Rumors Some of these rumors are untrue, speculation, or are greatly exaggerated. ◢ Common Rumors - Easily overheard. Use these freely! ■ "We see her a lot down in the Brume. Blankets n' bread, warm words n' healing. Don't seem to mind getting dirty in a dustup when someone says a foul word to her neither. Always just patches 'em up afterward n' goes back about her business." — Brume Rat. ◢ Uncommon Rumors - A little more difficult to hear. Use sparingly or ask first! ■ "I used to see her visiting the Lifemend Stump. Same day and bell every week, always carrying a flower. Then suddenly she just stopped, haven't seen her in a few weeks. Not certain what the story there was, and I never thought to ask." — Wood Wailer. ◢ Rare Rumors - Very rarely overheard. Please ask before using! ■ "Sometimes two souls love each other to a point that they lack an adequate way to express it. It becomes easier to express any number of other emotions instead. I see that, when I look at Meallaire and Jeulerant." — Argenia, Wise Woman. PC Rumors Feel free to add your own rumors to this section. ◢ Player Character Rumors - Some of these are more rare than others! ■ "Just because I know a little magic doesn't mean I'm the one you should watch out for. Everyone worries about me, but she's the scary one. I do so love that about her." — Jeulerant Sergenaux. ■ "Oh... yeah, she came to our wedding. I can't really say I know them that well. Er, no, I don't rightly know why they were there. But! Anyroad. She seemed well enough, a bit unusual and mysterious, but kind and pleasant in the way you'd expect of someone who holds herself with that kind of poise." — J'karu Rhome. ■ "She's terrifying, and she eats demon salads." — Abelaire Cygnnoire.

Location & Probability Meallaire travels all across the world, and can be found in a variety of locations, though a few stand out more than others. ■ The Shroud: High. ■ Gridania: High. ■ Ishgard: High-Moderate. ■ Dravania: High-Moderate. ■ Coerthas: Moderate. ■ Mor Dhona: Moderate. ■ Ul'dah: Moderate-Low. ■ Thanalan: Moderate-Low. ■ Limsa Lominsa: Low. ■ La Noscea: Low. Affiliations She has made a number of connections across the world in her travels. ■ Gridania & The Shroud: Meallaire is still a Gridanian citizen. ■ Conjurer's Guild: A conjurer in her youth and a hearer, Meallaire sometimes serves in a formal capacity for the guild. ■ Gladiator's Guild: Meallaire has since broken her affiliations with the Gladiator's Guild in Ul'dah. ■ Doma, Othard: Despite being born and raised in her early years in Gridania, much of her adult life was spent in Othard in and around Doma, and so she very much considers Doma her 'home'. ■ Ishgard: Meallaire has strong ties to Ishgard, including the Sarrasin Estate, the family manor which one belonged to her grandfather, a lesser noble whose title has now fallen to the wayside. ■ Idyllshire: Study and scholastic learning has brought her minor ties to Idyllshire, including forays into the previously sealed Sharlayan library of Gubal. IC Inventory The following items are things that Meallaire carries on her person at all times. These are noted for pickpockets, and those watching her closely. This information is meant to be a prompt for insight and is not to be meta-gamed, though feel free to use this information if it comes up logically in RP (pickpocketing, a search, etc) with use of a simple /tell.

It contains a number of different items, including a secondary tied coin purse with three hundred gil meant to serve as emergency coinage for airship fare in the event that she gets stuck in any particular place. ■ Herb Sachet: Mixed Teas - Among these are three blends, wrapped in a sectioned scroll case meant to keep the flavors from mingling. Among them she has a calming tea, an invigorating tea, and a tea meant for an upset stomach. ■ Journal & Ink: A simple journal that contains a number of images of herbs and plants, along with a few pressed samples of different herbs, as well as various sketches of human anatomy and skeletal structures. These sketches have notations in short-hand along the sides and the pages have seen obvious and frequent use. A small black vial rests with the journal, tightly capped, and beside it a crow feather quill. ■ Travel Rations: These rations are wrapped tightly and tied off in parchment paper, and are a mixed of dried meat, grains and meal, and dried fruits, enhanced with an alchemical concoction to preserve it for longer journeys. ■ Unassuming Vial: This vial contains a liquid of unknown origin, which Meallaire often adds to any drinks she's having in any public locale. It's only purpose is to test a liquid for unsavory additions, and the liquid inside turns black if these concoctions are detected. ■ Tied Satchels: These satchels are coded by color, and Meallaire can usually tell which bag is which in a hurry and not by sight if needed, usually by the stitching on the side and the fabric its made from. ■ Alchemical Remedies: Various alchemical concoctions, mostly in smaller vials meant to supplement Meallaire's healing as needed. Among them are smelling salts, an antidote, a hi-potion, a single ether, and a double dose of eye drops. ■ Medical Kit: This medical kit contains bandages, twine, thread, needles, a small scalpel, numbing salve, a powdered painkiller and an antiseptic and is primarily used for treating small wounds and such on the go. ■ Wrapped Candies: A small assortment of some of the candies that Meallaire makes, most of these are either flavored or coated in chocolate, and kept cool with an ice crystal stuffed in among them to prevent melting. The flavors she usually carries with her are almond, honey lemon, mint, orange and rolanberry. RP Limits Meallaire is an adult and has done and endured a lot during her long life. There are very few things she shies away from when it comes to interaction - she'll approach a fight or a cup of tea with equal gusto, and she's not afraid to get her hands dirty, in either the figurative or literal sense. Some topics are listed as unacceptable, and that means it takes major plot points to be permissible. ■ Acceptable is all RP themes from dark, serious and mature (violence, sexuality, torture, murder, conflict, drug / alcohol use) to the more light-hearted, humorous and simplistic, as long as it makes sense in the course of the RP. Plots that range from long-term to one-shots, elaborate and large-scale to minor and frivolous. Serious injury. Temporary injury and incapacitation. Temporary captivity or imprisonment. Combat, ambushes, assassination attempts, rivalries, friendships, romantic or sexual tension, coarse language and morally unclear subjects are all welcomed. ■ Ask about mutilation, permanent scarring or symbolic markings, long-term and/or permanent injury and disfigurement. Long-term captivity or imprisonment. Temporary character death. Significant mental tampering or programming. Anything dramatically character-changing or that might render her unplayable for a prolonged period of time. ■ Unacceptable is permanent character death. Permanent maiming or any crippling that prevents her from functioning independently. Rape/kidnap/torture plots. Random ERP that occurs outside of organic interactions. RP Hooks Meallaire has done and seen a lot in her history. While the below is by no means comprehensive, it's a kind of spring board for walk-up RP. If you want to drag Mea into an existing plot, feel free to send a tell. Unless spamming PvE content, Mea is always interested in meeting new people and expanding her list of contacts. ■ She spends a lot of time in the Shroud and one may wander across her either singing, hunting, fishing or taking clippings from plants. ■ She lived a large part of her early adult life in Doma, and is fluent in the language and culture, as well as in alchemy and has quite a few culinary skills picked up from her time there. ■ She speaks with an unfamiliar almost blended accent that isn't quiet Eorzean, and has been cultivated over the years of her life. ■ Has an abundance of aether, unusually cold aspected. Those who are sensitive to aetherflows would find that her level of aether is unnaturally high, and she is always in a state of Umbral Ice. ■ Possessed of the Echo, she is capable of listening, understanding, and subsequently speaking any language she hears, categorizing her as a polyglot. ■ Among some of the things she is capable of, she is a cook, gardens and grows a number of herbs, including recreational herbs, and also brews a number of different liquors. ■ Meallaire is a teacher as well as a healer, and enjoys imparting her knowledge to anyone willing to learn.

Player Information Player Note First, thanks for taking the time to read my wiki! I'm the voice of reason and terrible creative mind behind Meallaire. I've been RPing for over half my life, and love the hobby. That said, I do have a few extra things to note. First and foremost is that I know Meallaire is opinionated and has some pretty extreme viewpoints, but that's not necessarily reflective of me as a person. I always expect and try myself to maintain a clear IC / OOC division in RP. Meallaire's feelings and my feelings are separate. I prefer clear lines of communication with whomever I'm RPing with, and those I'm RPing with should always feel free to send a /tell to clear up any questions. Character Lore Adherence Everything concerning this character that has not been confirmed by in-game lore should be taken with a grain of salt. ■ Aetherfist (martial arts/spellcaster combo) is a nod to Mystic Knight, from older Final Fantasy games, and has been developed through role-play. References to white magic mean conjury, and black magic mean thaumaturgy. ■ Meallaire is a somewhat older lady, but appears young thanks to conjury, alchemy, and a very rigid physical routine. These things have been shown as plausible according to the lore, but as such, she is slightly lore-bending, though still lore-abiding in every other sense. Miscellaneous Information ■ Concept: Meallaire's original 'concept' is sourced from a lot of different material, including video games, anime, literature, and Celtic mythology. ■ Claims: Voice: Charlize Theron, Face: Sharon den Adel, Body: Power Girl ■ Classes: 60 Conjurer, Monk & Paladin / 60 Alchemist & Culinarian ■ Server: Balmung ■ Timezone: US Player; CST (UTC -6) Character Tidbits Links Out Links that lead off the wiki, but are technically relevant to the character. ■ Somewhat IC Tumblr (18+): Zoetic Grimoire Tropes & Explanations A trope is a convention or device that is often found in creative works. In this case, the tropes below describe Meallaire either in part, or as a whole. Her background, personality, appearance, etc, most of them can be described in the tropes below. ■ Action Girl ■ Beware The Nice Ones ■ Deadly Doctor ■ Older Than They Look ■ Photographic Memory ■ Renaissance Woman ■ Silk Hiding Steel Tropes are devices and conventions that a writer can reasonably rely on as being present in the audience members' minds and expectations. On the whole, tropes are not clichés.
