Gridania
Born near the small village of Lucky Autumn bordering Hyrstmill in the North Shroud. Suen was raised in the art of botany along her only sister so that she could take part in the family business by helping her mother.
Small in size and all but wealthy, the Sihu family was nevertheless recognized and appreciated in the botanists guild in Gridania for its usually unconventional take on the trade. This made them naturally part of the Keepers integrating and meshing well with the gridanian society.
Suen was mostly known around Gridania for working as the little delivery girl sent by her mother to replace her sister that was dead set training to become part of the God's Quiver. She quickly got quite fond of scaring little gridanian children with all kinds of twisted spooky tales. What people chose to remember though was her uncanny ability to mess things up at the most random times, and her rather strange obsession with the nearby Castrum Oriens and garlean stuff didn't exactly help her making many friends.
For her coming of age at around sixteen cycles, Suen refused to play the family game with a wandering male. Added to the whole lot of her eccentricities, she got into heated arguments with her mother over tradition and responsibility, and the eventual mention of the Coeurlclaws being the only alternative was the last straw for the young Keeper. It leaded her to the rash decision of enlisting into the garlean military as a middle finger to everyone, but an incident involving a magitek Reaper cut everything to a closure and Suen left the Twelveswood on her own with the intention to lead a new, free life on a journey across Eorzea.
Uld'ah
7th Umbral Era, 5th Cycle (last year)
| 6th Umbral Moon
|
- Suen began her journey after leaving the Twelveswood for good. Her mind is carefree and has yet to truly face the necessities of life as she arrives in Mor Dhona, where she meets Sigurd Sundsteigen, who presents himself as a Vintner. She finds weird that a simple Vintner and wine connoisseur clads himself in heavy armour.
- She eventually arrives in Vesper Bay on her way to Ul'dah, where she stumbles on Raih Unaze, another Keeper from the Shroud. The two connect immediately and share a bit of their respective stories, promising to see each other again in Ul'dah.
- On her way to Ul'dah, Suen cannot resist taking a peek at Castrum Meridianum, and tries her hand at salvaging and finds an old allagan tomestone. She is unfortunately spotted by a garlean detachment as well as a flame brigade, and both groups start attacking each other. She takes it as her cue to leave.
- Suen reaches Ul'dah and discovers a place she deems as filthy and a cesspool overall, where her gridanian upbringing shows. She meets Leon Greymoon and Aurou Mhirata around Aeon's HQ - Cliffperch - as she is looking for an inn.
- Going back to Vesper Bay in the hope to see the extent of the damage she caused, she meets Mariyaa Genhu, a paladin from the Sultanate, accompanied by Leon Greymoon. She talks about all the modern war equipment that Leon is using, especially that homemade flamethrower.
- On her way back to Ul'dah, they meet an elezen,Draco Nobis, and a roegadyn hellsguard, Shattered Sword, two men from Leon's company of mercenaries. Suen's easy-going personality meshes well with the extroverted Hellsguard and she shows curiosity for the huge zwei-hander carried by the elezen man. Shattered Sword literally drags Suen on his shoulders back to Aeon's HQ, where she is invited to taste his cuisine with the others. She finds their little family to be rather joyful and welcoming and even cracks a few jokes with them.
- After the little incident at Castrum Meridianum, the Brass Blades are now looking for Suen, and she stumbles on Raih Unaze chilling in the Quicksands. Suen can't hide that she is pursued by the Blades as Raih brandishes a wanted flyer of her. Raih offers to help Suen as much as she can, removing all the flyers she finds. She also invites her for a drink at her own company estate, the manor of the Dreadwyrms, a bunch of skypirates that immediately piqued Suen's interest. She starts to feel a strong attraction to Raih.
- Having a drink at the Coffer & Coffin in Central Thanalan, Suen is approached by a flirtatious wandering bard named [[U'xi Krash]. The mi'qote bard manages to slip something into her drink and Suen falls asleep. The bard abducts her and brings her to the den of a gang of Keepers that seemed to be looking for someone looking like Suen. She almost gets tortured and threatened to death by the matriarch, Yashaix Ki'lari, before they take note of their mistake. They apologize and offer Suen any help she would need from her 'kin'.
- Still shaken by her chaotic arrival in Uld'ah, Suen meets Liselotte Avagnar while chilling near the airship landing. The xaela girl presents herself as the best detective eorzea has known, and offers her services. Suen is puzzled by her apparent silliness and redirects her to Ki'lari's band so that they can find the lass they were looking for. Yashaix presents Sami Rhoka, her daughter, and her and Suen get along well while eating local miq'abobs.
- In a frantic way to get rid of the - pretty harmless - warrant after her, she is noticed by a private detective by the name of Paul Desmond, and she eventually reluctantly agrees to his innocent blackmail to act as a bait in the hope to catch a serial rapist and murderer, or the masked vigilante that seems to look for him. The murderer shows up but is killed in plain sight in the Steps of Thal by the vigilante, that manages to slip away, much to Desmond's lawful annoyance, which Suen's find utterly rubbish - if a vigilante is doing his work, why complain? The detective uses his connections to clear Suen's case with the Blades. She turned very wary of the man, considering she was used in the man's little detective games.
- Suen starts to get more and more regular headaches, and begins recording her journey in her banged up tomestone.

7th Umbral Era, 6th Cycle (current year)
| 1st Astral Moon
|
- Everything having gone upside down for Suen since her arrival in Ul'dah, she got a bit disillusioned with her journey and seriously thinks about learning to defend herself, she sneaks one more time around Meridianum as a last ditch to find a suitable weapon, and stumbles on a busted Magitek repeater. She also gets lucid dreams and visions about Leon Greymoon, Aurou Mhirata and various other people she doesn't know. Her headaches get worse.
- Suen meets Raih once again in the Quicksands. She is happy to just share a drink and have a talk where she explains that the troubles she got herself in got solved. Raih tells her how her admiral shot her in the foot when she didn't want to dance for him, which angered Suen, but she reassures her and say that was Suen interested she would be pretty welcome in the Dreadwyrms. They are interrupted when Tyonis Magstrom intrudes at their table and introduces himself as a thief, while provoking the ire of both Keepers with slurs on mi'qotes. Haydn'to Kalmar shows up and Raih introduces him as a fellow thief of hers.
- Something really eerie happens: as Suen is walking through Pearl Lane, she suddenly hears Leon and Aurou talking, and then talking to her. She freaks out and thinks that her allagan device is talking to her by emulating the people she has recently met. She eventually finds out that it was not the device, but something else that made the actual Leon and Aurou reaching her out. They invite her again at Cliffperch to talk about it and inform her that she may be a 'Shard Bearer', a person carrying any kind of device left as remnant to an ancient artifact that broke into multiple pieces. Those pieces, or shards, connect to people and enables them to share a mental link of sorts, until those merge with their Bearer to turn them into Branded. They also inform her that the tomestone she found is probably the source of it, and her migraines, and that she should get rid of it. Pretty casual and curious about it and not taking the full measure of the enemies of the Branded, Suen dismisses the concerns even if she knows that it could mean the end of her journey. She is eventually introduced to the Aeon company, full of Branded.
- Suen continues to think about the Branded and goes to the Quicksands for a drink, half looking for Raih Unaze, where she stumbles on Haydn'to Kalmar instead. They talk casually and manage to spook Caen Jabari, a guy apparently selling buttons that showed up at their table. Suen gives Hayn a linkpearl so that he can hand it to Raih if he sees her before Suen. Suen is eventually called back by Raih later, and they meet again at the Quicksands. Haydn'to is still there and Raih is accompanied by a part of her crew from the Dreadwyrms that Suen is seriously considering to join. She is introduced to L'rah Tia, a friend of Raih, as well as Artoria Tumet, her girlfriend. When Suen learns about it, she dies a little inside but manages to retain most of her composure. Haydn and L'rah seem to be arguing over Seeker men, and L'rah leaves soon after, followed by Haydn. Artoria proves friendly and invites Suen to come again to their estate.
- Back in Cliffperch, Suen reluctantly talks to Aurou Mhirata about matters of heart as it was pretty obvious that Suen is in a dreamy mood. Aurou tells her about her own case with Leon.
- As Suen is coming to the decision to get rid of the cursed tomestone and the shard with it, it proves eventually too late as she turned Branded herself. She resigns herself to join the Aeon family and takes upon herself to train as a mercenary.
- Suen accomodies herself badly with how the Link proves intrusive in all details of every Branded life. She learns that its access can be blocked or shielded when needed, but she proves incapable to do so. Leon Greymoon shows himself as a grey wolf on the Link with Aurou Mhirata as a white fox, and they teach Suen how to manipulate the Link. Suen instinctively turns into a white stoat.
- Leon Greymoon organizes a martial training session to train all the Branded without proper combat training and insists that they can't just rely on luck to save them every time, and that they have to defend themselves against their enemies. Suen thinks it is the perfect occasion to try out the Magitek gun she fixed with makeshift repairs. Suen is eager to start her first missions, hoping to share what Raih Unaze experiences with the crew Suen couldn't join, even if not physically.
- Suen soon gets the occasion to put her training in application: as she is wandering around Highbridge in Eastern Thanalan, she gets attacked by several hooded individuals in black garbs. They seemed somehow related to the Shards, and she manages to elude them long enough for Leon Greymoon, Lute Hyrie, Kairen Ollerus and Ferus Ironlash to come to her aid, but Suen gets taken as hostage and slightly cut on the throat before being freed.
- Suen gets to be part of her first mission for Aeon: a contract sends them to Bronzelake to find an old archaeological artifact called sunstone. They eventually find it in the nymeian ruins, but fall directly in an ambush. Their assaulters seem to use other sunstones to shoot aetherial beams at the group. Aeon however repels the attack successfully and Suen gets to kill her first human being. She gets her first doubts on living a life as a merc.

- Ferus Ironlash brings up a mission asking Aeon to get rid of several enemies of them infiltrated into a Flame brigade assigned to the Silver Bazaar. The mission feels like a slaughter to Suen, who fights with the others until she gets knocked off and badly injured by a fireball, leaving her unconscious for three suns. Her concerns about her mercenary life grow stronger.
- After being invited by Mariyaa Genhu Suen attends to her Ceremony of Eternal Bonding, but feels pretty much like an outlier and slips out just after the end.
- Aeon travels to Oakwood this time, following on the trail of the people that ambushed them at Bronzelake. Suen follows Leon Greymoon, Aurou Mhirata, Ferus Ironlash, Khuja'sae Fashonti, Najila El'azah and Oyungunjin Kha and they manage to catch an ishgardian elezen before the yellowjackets do, who seems to be their leader and uses another sunstone as a magic shield. Leon Greymoon manages to chop his right arm off before he flees. The group gets their hands on more sunstones, and there seems to be different kinds.
- Liselotte Avagnar shows up again in Suen's life and seems to have met Ferus Ironlash at Cliffperch, asking him to train her in the ways of the two-handed sword, to much of Suen's surprise and amusement. Lise doens't seem to be able to read, or at least not standard eorzean, and while not outright admitting it, she entrusts Suen to read the fencing manual to her, basically asking her to train her instead of Ferus. Suen reluctantly agrees to put that in application in the days to come.
- Suen meets Rei'li Niraj and Khuja'sae Fashonti along the rest of Aeon gathered for a mission to help Sonu'a Viqqoh, a deserter that was part of Aeon's enemies. Aeon heads to Hammerlea in Thanalan to face his pursuer, Mohn Fashonti, who wasn't expecting them and gets defeated.

- Aeon is unexpectedly contacted over the link by their elezen enemy. The man offers to collaborate and gives them everything they know about those sunstones - that they call shardstones, related to the Shards - and admit their defeat as their covenant is pretty decimated. He agrees to meet over Oschon's Embrace in Vylbrand. Aeon sends a group composed of Ferus Ironlash, Leon Greymoon, Aurou Mhirata, Lute Hyrie, accompanied by Najila El'azah, a new Branded, as well as Mariyaa Genhu and Liselotte Avagnar that was hired as a detective by the elezen in question to find his lost comrades after the last incident. The group and the elezen together get ambushed by a wave of cloaked figures, that they managed to ward off long enough for the yellowjackets to show up. The elezen doesn't survive the day
- The leader and founder of Aeon resurfaces after moons of absence through a cryptic vision over the Link, where she seems in dire troubles. The Branded decide to go on a search for her.
- Liselotte Avagnar and Suen go on their trip to find a quieter place for the xaela to train with her greatsword. Suen chooses a remote location in the mountains of Vylbrand with a little shed and hot springs nearby, much to Lise joy. Suen is very satisfied of her plan to chill in impromptu vacations while she watches Lise training and gives vague directions. Suen tries to heat miq'abobs she brought with ceruleum and swears to Lise that she will never ever do something like that again. In the morrow, Lise goes back to training, scantily clad under a waterfall while Suen thought it was a joke at first. Lise's happy go lucky mood suddenly darkens and she sheds a few tears at the remembrance of something that Suen is oblivious to. While rather embarrassed about it, Suen shows sympathy for the xaela and feels a little attracted to a side of hers she seems to keep deep inside.
- Visiting Vylbrand, Suen stumbles on the sigh of a manacutter, and she swears that one day she would own one as her own.

- Sonu'a Viqqoh and Maloh Fashonti, two friends of Aeon, have disappeared and his trail leads Ferus Ironlash, Leon Greymoon, Aurou Mhirata, Lute Hyrie , Rowan Sharpe, Sasa'li Dhumen, Morgana Veros and Suen to Urth's Font, where they confronted a masked presence. During combat, Suen's aetherometer falls into the water and discharges a thunder aspected load in the pond under her feet, knocking her off. The group get Sonu'a and Maloh back, but Sonu'a's mind got messed with. Leon and Ferus break almost every bone of his body just to keep him still.
- Leon Greymoon offers Suen to make a tour of Ishgard, his native land, and Suen gets to visit the city for the first time.
- Aeon goes venturing deep inside the East Shroud this time, looking for another disappearance: Oyungunjin Kha, who tried to flee his employer. The group is ambushed several times and Suen takes an arrow in the shoulder.
- Looking for sky crews all around the Goblet, Suen eventually finds Lemieux Skytrade, and airship freight company and probably a not so hidden den of skypirates. She meets captain Tristanaud Lemieux as well as Kei Aozora and L'Tohk Roto, and the dashing elezen captain shares stories of their skypirate feats before being interrupted by a newcomer, Howling Wind Vayne. The man is deadset in causing an incident with Tristanaud, and the loaded history they both share as business partners seems to seep all around until they come to hands and have to get out to settle their accounts. The remaining crew offer Suen to come by another time since they indeed have manacutters that they got their hands on, and one of them is in need of repairs. Suen's skills as a tinkerer prove to be valuable and cause the interest of various people.
- Passing by the Mizzenmast Inn in Limsa Lominsa, Suen makes the acquaintance of Culann Steele, an ishgardian blacksmith and airship engineer student. Impressed with Suen's innate affinity with mechanical devices and Magitek, he offers to share with her his theoretical knowledge. They promise to meet again, after he presents her a few of his company mates.
- Suen meets Raih Unaze in the Quicksands, as it has implicitly become the usual for them. Raih gets worried seeing the wound in Suen's shoulder. Both talk about their respective lives, and how Raih left her crew of skypirates after she broke up with Artoria Tumet. Suen has more and more difficulties hiding her blush and attraction for the other Keeper while Raih makes Suen tell about her dream of owning a manacutter. Still in their excitation, Raih gives her the idea to set up an underground ring of racing manacutters where the races would be rigged and they would make lots of gil. Suen tries to show her that she is actually more serious than childish and tells her about her plans to approach sky crews that own manacutters to see if she can do anything to even just see one. Raih gives her the idea to actually steal one, and while Suen is not totally convinced by the idea, she rolls with it as Raih insists and offers her help. She can't really say no to her anyway.
- Suen gets back to Lemieux Skytrade and meets Howling Wind Vayne again. Wary of the man, she eventually hears what the elezen has to tell her and finally agrees for limited deals with the smuggler, in the form of Magitek exchange: Suen brings him the salvage she is used to find, and exchange what she doens't need against something else.
- Ferus Ironlash looks worried and asks for help reluctantly as Kairen Ollerus, his fiancee, has vanished too, possibly in the Shroud. Suen also reluctantly accepts to help him as it will bring her back to the Shroud that she swore to avoid.
- Suen eventually gets back to Lucky Autumn near Hyrstmill were she eventually gets reunited with her mother and sister. She is surprised to see her small village and family living their lives like nothing happened. She gets an awkward but warm reunion with her sister Seloh, but gets into a heated argument with her mother, and eventually freaks out and runs away.
- Wandering around the Mizzenmast Inn, Suen meets As'elena Hyun, a Seeker woman that has worked for the Knights of the Barracuda for twenty years. They exchange mostly small talk about her work as a 'cuda and her roots in a almost extinct tribe of mages Seekers.
- Suen gets to meet Morgana Veros a bit more and her first impression gets confirmed: the both of them can't stand the guts of each other, and the words exchanged are more and more vitriolic. While the witch spends most of her time taunting and trying to bully Suen and trying to prove herself superior, Suen sees her as an arrogant and vain nuisance that eventually goes to systematically rub her off the wrong way by twisting the knife in every wound she can get.
- Aurou Mhirata and Suen get to discuss a bit in Cliffperch, and Suen confides that she doesn't see the point to stay in Aeon anymore. She is not cut for that job and she debates a bit of the actual advantages for all the Branded to gather together. Raih Unaze's idea that getting involved into people's problem only brings bad stuff makes her way back to her mind.
- Following the attack on Oschon's Embrace, Aeon gets new leads pointing at one of the fishing hamlets of Crescent Cove in Western Thanalan. One of the ex members under the orders of the elezen that attacked them got stuck in one of their magicked vaults in a shed of Crescent Cove. He asks for Aeon's help and offers them all the content inside. Rei'li Niraj, Aurou Mhirata, Najila El'aza, Leon Greymoon, Khuja'sae Fashonti and Suen get to eventually know more about the shardstones and these vaults, that were possibly crafted by the same people that created the Shards and Brands. Unfortunately, they can't reverse the process of autodestruction initiated by the security magicked Daemon Door and the only object left after the deflagration is a small, eerie carillon of mysterious nature.

- Suen decides to uses an aetheryte against her better judgement and get sent in the Sagolii desert, fortunately reappearing in Forgotten Springs, a Seeker village. Her she meets Suyiketu Avagnar, a xaela traveler and beast huntress. The xaela makes snarky remarks on Suen's apparent clumsiness but doesn't insist as the Mi'qote proves to be resourceful and looks sure of herself enough.
- Suen decides to change her mind by offering to go on a picnic in any place the free company chooses. They settle for Costa Del Sol much to her dismay, but she doesn't complain as everyone makes food preparations. Ferus Ironlash, Morgana Veros, Aurou Mhirata, Kairen Olerus, Oyungunjin Kha and a new Branded, Suyiketu Avagnar, accompany Suen to the beach in a remote cove, where they also meet Brave Horizon, an ex member of Aeon that they invited. Brave offers Suen to make her visit her new company, Dufresne Bellworks, that happens to be the home of a bunch of other ex Branded. Suen is even more interested as Brave is working with Garlond Ironworks and that Dufresne Bellworks can very well help her to get her hands closer to manacutters, or at least nice engineering feats. She gets however to deal with Morgana that stops her muscle contest with Suyiketu to argue with Suen again. The discussion gets downhill very fast and hateful words get exchanged. Suen decides to just leave the event, too furious to stay.
- Suen makes her final decision to leave Aeon and the Branded and stay absent. She jumps on the occasion to pay the visit she owed to Brave and Bellworks, in their secondary office in the Goblet. They are celebrating their one year of existence, and Suen meets a few ex Aeon like Graeham Ridgefield, Arcian Martell, the head of security, and most importantly Eliane Dufresne, the ishgardian noble owner of Bellworks. She also meets Hyrtwyda Eyhafrynwyn, the engineering head of the company. After a few awkward remarks on garleans shared with Graeham - a garlean expat - both come to a mutual, formal understanding.
- Ferus Ironlash and Kairen Olerus eventually marry after Kairen comes back to Aeon and explains she was too ashamed to have still been working for Garlemald as spy even after having met Ferus, which made her freak out when Ferus eventually proposed her. Suen as well as various other Aeon people are invited to the ceremony. Shortly after, bride and husband announce that Kairen is pregnant, much to Suen's discomfort.
- Altani Mol, xaela shaman working for Aeon, organizes a potluck and Suen is invited. She brings her favorite miq'abobs and is rather pleased to keep good relations with her acquaintances and friends there even if she doesn't really show it. There she meets Jayson Cross, the engineer that elaborated all the protective wards and other effects around Cliffperch. Before people start sharing the potluck itself, he brings up the old Aeon alcohol reserve. People start picking bottles and flask randomly, and Aurou Mhirata gets quickly tipsy. People eventually eat and Suen makes a short work of Aurou's honeyed pastries.

- Suen stumbles on Sami Rhoka in the Goblet and after a bit of small talk about companies and jobs, Sami offers her a place on an important coerthan leve to hunt down a dragon causing a ruckus in the area. Suen reluctantly accept, despite her insecurities about mercenary work. She desperately needs money to survive and pay for her tinkering.
- Suen stumbles randomly on Raih Unaze and F'koja Tia on their way to the Quicksands. Here they greet L'rah Tia, and Suen and F'koja start doing small talk until after a few drinks L'rah makes lewd jokes on the relationship between Raih and F'koja. Suen comes to the realization that both are into a relationship and gets pretty crushed. She can't really refrain from acting flustered and remains silent until it gets obvious for everyone but Raih, and F'koja starts rubbing it into her face at every opportunity, until Suen eventually snaps. She watches them all leave while feeling terrible.
- The group lead by Sami Rhoka departs from Fallgourd Float in direction of Coerthas to execute their leve. They pass Florentel spire and eventually reach the cave where the ice dragon retreated. They managed to corner it inside, leaving it very little leeway to fight, and after a few cuts and bruises and an ice breath, they manage to cut its wings to pieces and finish it. They get their reward (7000gil per person) at the Observatorium.
- After a few days, Suen eventually tries to reach Raih out through linkpearl to apologize. She refuses to apologize to F'koja as well however. Suen has eventually to confirm what Raih started to notice too, and both hope that this will never get in the way of their friendship.
- Wandering in the honey yards of the East Shroud, caught under the storm, Suen stumbles on Tira Nophi in Hawthorne hut. The hyur girl explains that she comes from an orphanage in the vicinity, and now lives as part of the archer's guild of Gridania. Hearing Suen mentioning Magitek, she manages to convince her to go take a peek at Castrum Oriens, and Suen agrees reluctantly. Suen spooks Tira by making up imaginary enemies once in Larskall. Returning quite happy to Gridania after their journey in the wood, they end the day talking at a table at Carline Canoppy. Tira vaguely mentions an event that traumatized her as a teenager.
- Still in the Carline Canopy and due to all tables being taken, Suen ends up at a table occupied by Arzilia Rausten who presents herself as an ex dragoon from Ishgard. Exchanging a few words on their respective travels and endeavors, Arzilia offers to assist Suen in her salvage trips. They promise to meet in Mor Dhona to that effect.
- Back in Thanalan, Suen is testing one of her latest finds, a busted aetherometer, near the Burning Wall. She is surprised to stumbled on two individuals who seems to be good pals, Oyuu Dataq and J'takra Tia. Initially mutually suspicious of each other, Suen and J'takra eventually come to agree that it was probably a misunderstanding, and talking about the aetherometer Oyuu decides to introduce Suen to their secret society of Magi, the Order of Ouroboros, dedicated to track lost and dangerous magical artifacts or entities. He explains to Suen that while the job is not literally paid, they could need her skills with technology, and what interests them the most is her aetherometer. Out of curiosity and her interest piqued by the perspective of obscure and spooky magic, Suen agrees.
- At the next meeting of the Order, Suen discovers the estate of Sahael Nevara,the young mage financing the organization. She meets him as well as other guests or members, Aryiaa Avernus, Arthurioux Duchamps, Oyuu Dataq, J'takra Tia and Haydn'to Kalmar who she hasn't seen for quite a while, and is surprised to stumble upon just like that. The Keeper was apparently hired as a thief to located and steal a cursed axe, and the Order is planning to rob the owner of the weapon of his possession. They also evoked a voidsent horse that comes haunting Sahael and they would need Suen's aetherometer as to gauge its nature and power.

- The time has come for the Order of Ouroboros to get in possession of the cursed axe they were looking for, and they follow Haydn'to Kalmar in Central Thanalan to the estate of a rich lalafell merchant. While Haydn, Sahael Nevara and J'takra Tia try to infiltrate the place, Oyuu Dataq, Arthurioux Duchamps, Aryiaa Avernus and Suen get on a position overlooking the scene, ready to make a diversion when the infiltration turns sour. Suen reluctantly offers her ceruleum canister to that effect and the mages detonate it to create a powerful deflagration. After a short battle inside and outside, they get the better on their enemies and get their hands on the axe.
- On her way to explore a bit the ruins in Mor Dhona and salvage, Suen calls Arzilia Rausten that promised to accompany her, and both meet on the terrace over the main plaza. Arzilia talks a bit about her lost life as a dragoon, the way her friends think she died, and how she is afraid of the shame she would have to bear by coming back in Ishgard and face them. She also adds that her family of minor nobility would probably try to marry her and Suen asks jokingly if Arzilia is not into elezen males, to which the ishgardian answers that she has other preferences. They then proceed to the salvage part of their trip and Suen stumbles on very valuable parts. She gives one to Arzilia so that the dragoon gets something out of that expedition too. They both look at the eerie crystalline night of Silvertears Falls and the flirtatious ishgardian eventually manage to throw enough innuendos at Suen for her to throw back her fair share, and both share a kiss or two. Arzilia breaks the moment as it is getting late and leaves the Mi'qote very confused about the whole scene.
- Suen decides to use her 7000 gil to hire Aeon to go on a trip in Dravania in the hope of getting salvage out of a garlean corvette she saw plummeting in the sky a few days before. Aurou accepts, and the next day Lute Hyrie, Armel Winterson, Najila El'aza and Koro Tumet, a new recruit, follow Suen into the Dravanian Forelands and start their journey at Tailfeather. They quickly spot the column of smoke in the sky and unable to reach their elevated destination, they have to make a long detour passing through Anyx Trine, a den of Hraesvelgr dragons. They start their ascend on the mountain of Sohm Al and after a long walk, reach their destination: old ruins, but no sight of the crashed corvette. They conclude that the garleans must have made repairs and fled the area, to Suen huge disappointment.
- The next meeting of the Order of Ouroboros - they happen every sennight - they discuss of the axe they got and do not really know what to do with it, deciding to keep it sealed into the company vault. They also talk about the voidsent horse that seems to have fed on lalafell faces, and that seems to appear whenever Sahael thinks about it. They ask Suen to take measurements with her aetherometer, and the device shows a huge aetherial spike, umbral aspected. They start devising on what to do, some willing to just nuke it while some other ask for caution.
- Suen contacts Arzilia Rausten to inquire awkwardly if the ex dragoon needs something in counterpart for her help in Mor Dhona. The midlander just tells her that she could just need her presence and chill a bit in the Goblet, where both are located. Arzilia seems hurt at the shoulder and asks Suen if she can help her take care of the bandages, which she does. They start to flirt again and it soon turns into a taunting game.
- The Order of Ouroboros welcomes a new member, Ellere Valahan, who is a sharlayan scholar with her own aetherometer and the knowledge to use those properly. Suen is interested.
- For some reason, Suen visit Cliffperch and stumbles on Aurou Mhirata, Rowan Sharpe and Ferus Ironlash. She asks Aurou if they received her payment, then they all talk about Ferus other skills as accountant, and how that can serve him when he will not be able to fight anymore due to old age. They talk a bit about retirement, which Suen founds a bit depressing.
- The Order of Ouroboros cuts their next meeting short to help Sahael Nevara who is near Highbridge in Eastern Thanalan. Oyuu Dataq, J'takra Tia, Ellere Valahan, Aryiaa Avernus, Arthurioux Duchamps, Pan Ysbrid and Suen go on their way to meet him and he shows them the runic contraption he designed in the hope to banish the voidsent horse. Uncertain on what to do, the group reluctantly agrees to do it, and while Sahael summons the horse, the contraption is not enough in itself to send him back to the void. The group have to fight it with all their strength until it eventually gets loose and vanishes.
- A new meeting of the Order of Ouroboros. Oyuu Dataq, Arthurioux Duchamps, J'takra Tia, As'elena Hyun and Suen make plans to deal with the cursed axe. Suen is surprised to find As'elena here. Arthurioux tells the group about his task to find spring water in Coerthas to date it through aether as an exercise and asks for help. He also offer to accompany Suen in her next salvage trip in Mor Dhona.
- After having vanished for moons without a warning, Liselotte Avagnar gets back into Suen's life when the latter stumbles on her in the Brume. Suen at first gets angry at Lise for having bailed on her, but they soon get back talking, taking refuge in the Halonic church where Lise explains she got abducted but got the better of her attackers and fled. Though surprised, Suen reluctantly shows a bit more of her protective feelings and they end up enjoying the moment. Confused about her newfound feelings for the xaela, Suen jumps on another subject and both end up the evening eating all their heart's content at Sahael's estate. Lise eventually gets back to their old habits and freeloads into Suen's room.
- Arthurioux Duchamps brings the Order of Ouroboros to help him collect water samples in Coerthas for his aetherial researches. Suen ends up being paired with J'takra Tia and she soonstarts tossing veiled sarcastic snipes at the snarky Seeker, pissy about the cold.

- The Order of Ouroboros is lead by Oyuu Dataq to investigate the sighting of a Void gate near Thal's Gate in Ul'dah. They stumbled on a few imps that they take care of fast before a man appears and 'fuses' their remnants together as to form a more formidable foe. The man manages to escape while the group deals with their voidsent enemy.
- Suen calls Arthurioux Duchamps to honor the promise she made to take him into one of her salvage runs in Mor Dhona, so that the elezen can get garlean steel plates.
- The Order of Ouroboros gathers to discuss the matters of the Voidgate and the people that seem to have opened it. They learn that their leader is an outcast from the Thaumaturges Guild.
- Suen stumbles on Liselotte Avagnar in a bad mood and her mind obviously brooding over something. She tries to cheer her up awkwardly by bringing her to a hat shop, where she notices that Lise already have them all. Frustrated, she drags them all the way to the Quicksand to make her have a drink and forget her worries for a moment. It all goes downhill when both prove to be lightweights and start competing with each other on the amount of drinks they can get. After a few louds and alcoholized comments, they kiss in the back alley before the xaela eventually gets scared of what she is doing and flees.
- Liselotte Avagnar eventually gets back to the only home she gets - Suen's room. After an awkward meeting where Suen eventually admits to feel miserable for what happened, and Lise that she doesn't remember anything, they both get along and talk about Suen's Magitek workshop of sorts as well as the true xaela name of Lise, Yesuntai. Suen returns the favor and tells her own. For the first time Suen starts coming to terms with the feelings she had for the xaela and that she kept buried.

OOC Information
Stances on RP: Usually 'heavy' kind of RP, with emphasis on humane character development and growth as well as gritty or light-hearted, overall mature settings. Modest tri-dimensional characters, lasting and creative plots. I'm not okay with overpowered types of characters or unrealistic characters, or mary-sues. I am not okay with breaking the lore. I will however always try to adapt to my RP partners specific styles and needs!
Hooks and relationships: Totally open to any idea that can provide potential quality RP with my character. If you feel that my character profile can provide a hook for a story you have in mind, don't hesitate to reach me out to see what can be done! I am also definitely open for family ties, or background/business connections between characters. Suen is mostly designed as a supporting character, even if she has her own story.
RP combat and injuries: Open for most systems as long as they make sense to me. I can roll random dices or settle it through a fully organic RP exchange without any other tool, or a combination of both. I am a strong supporter of dealing with the consequences of every actions our characters do (except when true death, or other very dire things have to happen, which will need my consent).
Miscellaneous: That wiki page is pure OOC knowledge unless your character specifically knows or learned about it.
Important! If anything that my character does or says unsettles you in an OOC manner, or if suddenly you are not okay with something in my RP, please let me know right away! Communication is key! I am also very embarrassed and anxious when it comes to reach people out ingame repeatedly, so.. don't hesitate to tell me if I'm being intrusive or anything.
