Feryal Arcsman

ಌ Lady of House Maintigny ಌ

OverviewAppearancePersonalityRelationshipsSkills and KnowledgeOOC Overview An Elezen with a curious mind and an adventuring spirit, Feryal yearned to see what else was outside the protection of her four walls and past the Gates. A bit of a social a pariah for marrying out of her race and below her station, she needed little urging to travel out of Ishgard for her husband's expeditions and for the sake of her void studies. During her travels, Feryal finds her own causes to invest in - one of her better decisions choosing to adventure with the Aether Cats - and her naiveté has her sometimes chasing novelties into dangerous places; much to her protective Raen's chagrin. She is a woman of quick wit and, at times, a biting tongue; a headstrong Elezen that will just dust herself off and onto the next adventure with her head held high. Appearance Voice: Slightly accented, cultured and well modulated Voice Inspo Claire Holt Standing at 5 fulms and 11 ilms, Feryal isn't much to look at; a slight Elezen woman of 156 ponz. What makes her stand out, however are her sharp green eyes and the dotting of freckles that; the latter, she claims, keep her from looking too plain. Pale skinned and lithe, her body is of a dancer's build; long limbed and surprisingly toned for a woman with scholarly persuits. She is of average constitution but she has proven to be agile when needed to be. To the general public, Feryal prefers the calm and collected image - usually donned in stylishly cut dresses and varying materials to give herself a refined look. She tends to be a bit haughty as far as dress is concerned and will admit to having only one swimsuit and perhaps two pairs of pants in her closet; the former only grudgingly used. She is very expressive - both in features and with the use of her hands. Feryal is a woman that is equally as quick to smile, as she is to frown. She is much more known for her mocking smile and cutting wit, both of which she use to her advantage as much as possible. Her temper is well hidden in the public eye but it has proven that her husband head is rather resilient. The common companion that follows her is Thalia, her coeurl. It is a playful and affectionate creature, quick to show love to those her owner shows affection to and quick to make use of her claws to those she feel threatened by. Elegant ◆ Inquisitive ◆ Naive ◆ Strong willed ◆ Extroverted and optimistic: Despite being cloistered in a well protected manor, Feryal still loves interacting with with all sorts of people. Her naiveté sometimes gets her in trouble. Still, her mischievous and sometimes she gets away with more than she should; something she took advantage as the youngest child. ◆ Charismatic and mischievous: As the youngest daughter of a baron and the widow of a count, Feryal has learned when to smile and how to charm. ◆ Feminine and elegant: She would be the first to tell you that she is a Lady, but rather do that, she'd prefer to show it. She is usually soft spoken and will rarely curse, whether it be in public or private. ◆ Inquisitive: Knowledge is always a fingertip away and Feryal is always eager to learn more, whether it be magitek or the arcane. This pursuit of knowledge is an area of discord between her and her husband, as she has yet to find the limit to her curiosity. [Proper Lady]: Dark haired and pale skinned, Feryal is a woman that is gentle yet strong willed. She possesses wit and civility; is devoted and loyal. Devoted wife and loving mother, she still proves herself to be a Lady with her impeccable manners and dress. [Silk Hiding Steel]: Despite looking the damsel and playing the part quite well, Feryal is a woman of a cunning mind with sharp intelligence and a strong will that won't bow for anyone. And should the time come to fight, she won't hesitate. She fights—bravely, courageously, and without holding back. [Functional Magic]: A strong student of both thaumatergy and conjury, Feryal as proven that she has firm control over her abilities and the elements; at least as much as any wielder does. [Battle Couple]: In the case of Feryal and Cyrilus, if you harm either on of them, the survivor will kill you. Happily married, they manifest as a Sword and Sorceress duo; both fighters with their own weapons of choice. [Badass Bookworm]: Her scholarly pursuits have made her soft, but that doesn't make Feryal incapable by any means. She relies on her ability to think on her feet as well as her conjury and thaumaturgy skills; both keep her alive just fine. 💗 Romantic Relationship ♥ Romantic Interest ♥ Attraction ♥ Family ★ Friend ✔ Business ☠ Deceased Family (♥) Luthiaus and Aurie Nightsong (Parents) Aurie died in childbirth but Lutiaus is a doting father to his youngest daughter; a child that grew up to be the spitting image of his wife. It was during the Dragonsong War that he married her off to a Templar night, hoping that status and name would be enough to protect her, should something happen to him. ( 💗 ☠ ) Aulaux Deseth (Late Husband) Both husband and wife married at 25 and 18 respectively, and both of them were idealistic in believing that there were other ways to solve conflict than just fight. However, when the call to war truly came and Aulaux knew his wife was expecting their first child, he willingly took up his sword to protect his family. He "died an honorable death", she was told, but 'honor' turned into a foreign concept to her and warfare was something that left her bitter. ( 💗 ) Cyrilus Arcsman/Ishiki Kirodatto (Husband) A Raen found half frozen on her doorstep that she initially just nursed back to health before sending him back on his crusade. They are people of two different upbringings and two different worlds but somehow both Elezen and Au'ra made it work, with her proposing marriage within a few years of courtship. He is a man that has taught her what it truly meant to be honest to herself and embrace life. ( ♥ ) Caylie Aurielle Deseth/Caiyx(Daughter) To an Elezen who was told she could not have children, Caylie is a child most cherished. Feryal does not want her child to have the same childhood she did and tries to show Caylie the outside world, often bringing souvenirs back with her when she leaves with Cyrilus on his expeditions or when she must leave for business. ( ♥ ) Natacié Karinne/Tasha (Sister) The siblings are only two years apart and Tasha took on the role as a mother as well as older sister as best she could. As a Templar herself, is rather protective of her youngest sister, making sure that Feryal is as equipped as she could possibly be. She is more pragmatic to her sister's idealistic ways but Tasha would still be there to catch Feryal, should she ever fall. Friends ( ★ ✔ ♥ ) Togras Mordernhur (Mentor) A Hyur that teaches at the thaumaturg academy, he also has an obsession with the void. However, she took a liking to his unorthodox ways and he took a liking to her. Both mentor and student spend many a nights in his chambers for both work and play, but he was a man that allowed his favorite scholar to think freely outside the confines of what was considered 'normal'. ( ★ ) Elyn Merielle (Friend) A girl that she found sick on one of her trips back to Ul'dah. Despite their unorthodox meeting, Elyn has brought out her maternal side. Both women come from very different backgrounds but both of them agree that neither one of them want to be stuck in a place where they will go nowhere and don't want to use of their names to get out. Skills & Abilities STR: 8 | CON: 12 | DEX: 10 | INT: 14 | WIS: 13 | CHA: 15 ➤ Above average intelligence - she is her mentor's prized apprentice and it's not because of her money and status ➤ Sewing - she hates knitting but is an extraordinary seamstress, even weaving aether through her patterns ➤ Fencing - not just the art of nobles: she prefers the use of blades over firearms, and casting over blades; she tries her best to not rely on her husband for protection ➤ Conjury and thaumatergy - different sides of the coin but she has a keen interest and is a strong wielder of both. ➤ Healing - her physical fighting skills are mediocre at best but Feryal chooses to help those she cares about with her healing skills OOC Information Stances on RP: I enjoy RP - from 'slice-of-life' as well as mature, dark, heavy-RP. I do prefer plot-driven encounters but I don't mind walk-ups, as they may lead to even more fun. That said - I am usually not in-character unless I'm tagged but feel free to send me a tell either way! Hooks and relationships: Feryal's marriage is polyamorous so a relationship is not out of the question, so long a there is chemistry. Some other hooks, however are conjury and thermauthergy; a fellow Ishgardian; researchers, botanists and adventure. I am available to RP in-game or through discord (Cassandra Arié#0343) I'm generally patient but I do not tolerate flakes. If you lose interest or have an issue with whatever we're playing, please be vocal about it. Server and Timezone Player Info American player, EST/EDT Server Mateus Player Name Feryal Arcsman
