Sasha Rochester Ms. Trouble About
With a devilish, inquisitive spark in her eyes and a mind for business, one can't be sure if this woman is trustworthy or not at first glance. Her demeanor is somewhat eccentric, but oddly friendly, polite, and flirtatious. Seeking to allure, her words will almost always be carefully picked to sell herself, keeping them loosely laced with a seductive undertone and a smile full of promises. Whether it's entertainment, services, or simple conversation, she's always looking for something. Born into wealth, the girl is a result of generations of old money, and she plays the part. With a perfectly straight posture and a chin held high, it's rather obvious she was raised and spoiled as a single child. Sassy, flirty, and a bit vain, one will surely be able to pick her apart from the crowd. Sasha Elizabeth Rochester was born on the 1st Sun of the 5th Astral Moon, 1557 6AE in Ul'dah. She is the sole heiress of the R&R Shipping Company, a trading empire inherited by her mother and brought to flourish by her father. The information given here is very limited, as I don't want to risk people metagaming, if you're interested in more obscure aspects of her past and personality, it's best to befriend her ICly. The first thing most people tend to notice is her hair, long, willowy, and sleek. An ashy light brown which then fades to white towards the tips. The change of colour is very gradual, so the possibility of the colouration being a result of an unkept dye-job seems highly unlikely. Bright green eyes peer at the world between thick, dark eyelashes. Reddish, plump lips seem to be perpetually showing a hint of a devious smirk. With high cheekbones and a small jaw, her features come off as very feminine and delicate. There isn't a single blemish on her skin, except for a white birth mark on her left cheekbone. Despite this, the woman tends to burn rather easily, so she usually stays indoors to avoid any unwanted sunburns.Her skin is very pale and clear, almost like porcelain, there’s almost a ‘transparent’ quality to it that makes her veins easily seen in areas like her wrists and chest. Fitness wise, all the constant travelling and going on expeditions has made it pleasantly toned. However, due to recent health problems she has lost a bit of muscle and overall weight, as she’s hardly eating, and when she does, it’s pastries and wine. She’s still slim and toned, but not as healthy looking as she used to be. When it comes to her proportions, her figure is very much feminine and hourglass, with ample hips, a small waist, and generous curves. She has a tendency to go for deep, dark, and rich colors. Her style is usually luxurious but provocative, something that could generally be associated with a high-class courtesan, opting for expensive fabrics and figure-fitting styles. She may occasionally change her style to suit the mask she puts on for certain individuals, making it difficult for some to tell what her taste in fashion truly is. Sasha is an extremely vain character, considering her appearance to be her most valuable tool. This results in going to great extents to keep it up, and she will become very fastidious if she isn't pleased with the way she looks. Equipped with smooth words, a disarming smile, and a keen eye for what she can use to her benefit, she sees the world as her playground for lies and deception. Her demeanor is pleasant and charming, always keeping a friendly though somewhat distant disposition. Seductive, provocative and perhaps a little cheeky, she takes pleasure from keeping others off-balance. To those she can benefit from, this mask will be kept almost permanently plastered on her face, always willing to please and seduce. Analytical to the core, she will inspect and morph into what she believes others expect her to be, from the foolish, harmless damsel in distress, to the cunning archmage. Give her a stage she desires and she will put on a show. To her, all truths are malleable and easily bent, words are nothing but child's play. People she considers fools or threatening will see another side of her, however. And they will soon discover that the coy smile bears sharp teeth and a sharper tongue. While she doesn't seek to harm, her patience is often limited towards those she deems incompetent, and her sweet words will turn into bitter sarcasm and condescending arrogance. Due to a distaste towards violence, she has a strong inclination towards battles of wit when facing conflict. Sasha also implements under-handed tactics, and more than anything, persuasion. She sees fists and blades as the arms of savages, and will frown upon those who see them as their first resort. Despite her seemingly refined demeanor, she can be quite reckless and childish in her pursuit of magical power, having an absolute fascination for aetherial phenomena. She doesn't care that aether harms her. So long as she can feel the rush of magic surging through her veins, she will always be motivated to look for more. Due to her aetherial sensitivity, her obsession with magic has proven many times to be highly detrimental to her condition. She stubbornly insists on continuing to push herself further and further, caring not for the consequences. Manipulative, self-destructive, scheming, secretive, and distrustful, it's easy to portray her under a negative light when people discover that part of her nature, but in her eyes, her tactics are nothing but a shell that protects her from a harsh, ruthless world. With few enemies and even fewer friends, she feels deep affection and loyalty towards those who choose to stand by her side, even after witnessing the best and worst of her.
Blessed with a talent for the aetherial arts, Sasha is a magic-user. However, regardless of her magical skills, aether has proven to be unreliable during multiple occasions, as it may sometimes weaken or even kill her. Despite looking somewhat toned, she's surprisingly frail, and not particularly quick on her feet. Anyone who can get past her magical barrier could easily kill her, if her condition doesn't do so first. So, how does she fight? She doesn't. Other people fight for her. If diplomacy doesn't solve the issue, she will resort to the aid of her allies, and only when she sees herself truly cornered will she take the risk of taking matters into her own hands. Depending on her condition, she may be meek as a mouse, or a force to be reckoned with. An intelligent hunter wouldn't take the risk of rolling the dice unless they knew her weakness. However, she always avoids conflict if she can, since she has a strong dislike for violenc
