General Information While Andora can be unpleasant and abrasive, she can also be thoughtful and understanding. She has a natural calming aura about her that can put people at ease. ❝ “Sooner or later, every last echo fades. Even the loudest thunder in the deepest valley.” - Brian K. Vaughan ❞ Appearance Hair & Eyes Dark inky locks tumble just past her shoulders. In contrast, her eyes are a soft, sallow green. Physique & Markings She is somewhat diminutive for a midlander, standing slightly below average and carried on a weak frame. Her cheeks are sallow and her deep-set eyes encircled by dark rings. Andora appears to be in poor health and not remotely intimidating in the slightest, save for a near-constant expression of distaste that may deter those who hold themselves in low esteem. Hygiene & Attire Given her profession Andora is often dressed conservatively in dark robes. She may sometimes be found in light robes, but seldom exposes much of her body or dresses in a way that draws particular attention to herself. Her hygiene is well cared for. Personality Psychological Profile INTJ. The Architect. Introvert(51%) / Intuitive(64%)/ Thinking(89%)/ Judging(64%). A paradox to most observers, Architects are able to live by glaring contradictions that nonetheless make perfect sense – at least from a purely rational perspective. For example, Architects are simultaneously the most starry-eyed idealists and the bitterest of cynics, a seemingly impossible conflict. But this is because Architect personalities tend to believe that with effort, intelligence and consideration, nothing is impossible, while at the same time they believe that people are too lazy, short-sighted or self-serving to actually achieve those fantastic results. Yet that cynical view of reality is unlikely to stop an interested Architect from achieving a result they believe to be relevant. Imaginative yet decisive, ambitious yet private, amazingly curious, but they do not squander their energy. Voice Surprisingly modulated, though her voice can reflect at times that she is very animated. Her vernacular tends to vary significantly depending on who she's speaking with. While initially she spoke with a heavy Lominsan dialect, this inexplicably appears to have faded over several moons to a far more clear speech pattern. Philosophy & Mannerisms TBD Preferences Likes ● Watching a burn. It can be cathartic. ● Rare tomes. Andora dedicated much of her life to studying the arcane. ● ● ● Dislikes ● The Dark. Andora seldom travels without a lantern. ● Showboats. Andora is insecure in her own abilities and someone upstaging her may draw her ire. ● ● ● ● ● Skills ● Comforting Presence. There's something about her company that can put people at ease. ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ●

H I S T O R Y

Livia was born in Aleport to Marigold and Jonas Crane in the late summer of 1547. She was raised just outside what would later become Summerford on an orchard. With both parents working as local physicians and conjurors, Livia comes from an upper middle class background. After living in Summerford for 5 summers, Livia went missing. After that, her history becomes obscured.

Disclaimer: Consider this section to be a constant Work In Progress.

Childhood Aleport and Summerford Livia was born in Aleport and lived there until she was 5 summers old. Her family relocated to the outskirts of what would later become Summerford. Livia's brother attended the local school, but she herself was homeschooled and seldom outside Livia went missing at 10 summers old.

Growing up Unknown. TBD TBD TBD

FAMILY Marigold Crane, Mother. (♥ � ) - Solitary Conjuror Livia's Thoughts: "TBD" TBD Jonas Crane, Father. (♥ � ) - Convival Optimist Livia's Thoughts: "TBD" TBD Oz Crane, Brother. (♥ � ) - Traveling Aidworker Livia's Thoughts: "TBD" TBD

NON-FAMILY Anagna Kenesa, The Shadow. ( ♦ $ ) - Friendly Knifeman Livia's Thoughts: "Naga's a decent sport. We have fun, he's just got no luck when we brawl." Livia’s relationship with Anaguma was strained early on since Livia drugged him for information and managed to avoid discipline for it. He knows how to irritate her, and while she has had fun brawling with him, she enjoys his company and trusts him to a certain extent, which is more than she can say for almost any other relationship she has. Ahzra'li Lhomi, The Hunter. ( ♦ $ ) - Reclusive Stranger Livia's Thoughts: "I've seen Ahzra'li a couple times, usually with Marcus. Seems stoic, but I think deep down he's a little timid." Livia hasn't had much time with Ahzra'li, but recently he was he target of much of her ire in an event where he kept a steady head and Livia did not. She acknowledges he was not at fault and feels some remorse for her behavior. Atlan Himaa, The Surgeon. ( ♦ $ ) - Troubled Medic Livia's Thoughts: "This Xaela is a decent person who keeps finding less than decent people to associate with." Livia knows a little of Atlan's past and thinks bad luck just seems to follow him. He was electrocuted on her behalf once, so she assumes that means they're friends now. She is also indebted to him for assisting her in maintaining stamina over multiple days while searching for Dovienya when she was missing and presumed dead. Biast Basiliscus, The Addict. ( ♦ � $ ) - Fragile Engineer Livia's Thoughts: "He's a weak man, succumbed to a substance addiction that dominates his attention. Easily pliable, debatably reliable." Livia is gentler with Biast than she is with most people. She sees no issue with continuing to supply him with substances while keeping him busy because she favors monitoring his usage rather than having him risk complications from withdrawal. Cierra Borlaaq, The Huntress. ( ♦ $ ) - Collected Swordswoman Livia's Thoughts: "Cierra is strong minded. Her inflexibility may break her if under enough pressure.." Cierra correctly intuited that Livia and Dovienya were involved when Livia was still trying to keep that information quiet. After speaking candidly about their relationships, Cierra agreed to use discretion and Livia was thankful for that. The two went on an outing to try and retrieve Dovienya's axe to study, and Livia found Cierra to be a professional and reliable companion. Livia has since felt strain on their relationship due to the woman’s adversarial position on whether Tsarnai’s background should be brought into question. Cemi Jinfeh, The Chemist. ( ♦ $ ) - Pint Sized Idealist Livia's Thoughts: "I hear Cemi is a drug addict herself, but trying to wean the Garlean off of somnus. She seems sweet and delicate." Livia has known Cemi for a long time, but barely spoken with her. She felt intense remorse after Cemi was nearly killed on the only personal mission Livia had requested after she had become a Courtier. The last they spoke Dovienya had instructed Cemi to tend to Livia’s wounds after combat, and Livia refused. She later felt ashamed at her lack of restraint in berating Dovienya in front of her. Charlant Bastoix, The Alchemist. ( ♦ $ ) - Silver Tongued Serpent Livia's Thoughts: "Charlant is a reliable and skilled alchemist with enough charm to put even the sauciest courtesans to shame." Charlant supplied Livia with a generous amount of potions early on in their relationship. She views him as a confusing and enjoyable presence in her life, as well as a discreet alchemist who will humor her without asking questions for the right price. Dalmar Fererra, The Brawler. ( ♦ $ ) - Young Misguided Stray Livia's Thoughts: "I trust Delmort to finish what he starts. He seems to take his job seriously, if little else." Livia appreciates Dalmar's sense of duty and his sense of morality. She finds him mature for his age, but enjoys pushing his buttons because unlike him, she is not mature for her age. Dovienya Cuenn, Solace. ( ღ ∞ $ ) - Livia's Pulse Livia's Thoughts: "Reckless, conniving, manipulative, cruel. But there's not a soul who can give me the peace that she does." Livia and Dovienya have a complex relationship. Livia was initially paranoid in their relationship once she suspected the woman was looking into her background, prompting her to drug Anaguma for answers after he had flaunted that he knew where she grew up. After the introduction of a childhood acquaintance of hers to the court, Livia insulted Dovienya by trying to buy her off to keep her quiet about who she was around the man, and breaking her link pearl when the woman refused to put a price on her loyalty. Livia eventually apologized and the two grew to know each other much better. They have since grown very close, though Livia keeps just about the entirety of their relationship private. Madeleine Lanverlais, The Archer. ( ♦ $ ) - Crooked Adder Livia's Thoughts: "Madeleine is questionably dependable. Keep her away from matches." Livia was skeptical about Madeleine at first due to her continued association with the Adders. She has since come around to enjoying the woman's gall. She finds her brazen and tenacious, if not slightly irresponsible. Marcus Feral, The Captain. ( ♦ $ ) - Rapacious Businessman Livia's Thoughts: "Marcus is...professional." Marcus admitted Livia into the court as an extra hand. She drugged and robbed him soon after. She enjoyed frustrating him in particular, but is now is struggling with how to un-do the damage she did to their relationship. She harbors mixed feelings toward him due to her involvement with Dovienya. Tempest Fey, The Siren. ( ♦ $ ) - Foul Tempered Enchantress Livia's Thoughts: "Mean. Mean mean mean." Tempest was there with Marcus when Livia was admitted to the court, and her first task was organizing Tempest's books. She did a poor job. Livia probably likes her a little more for Tempest having slapped her once since she's the only person Livia has acknowledged as having held her accountable for her actions. Tsarnai Borlaaq, The Faceless. ( ♦ $ ) - Corrupted Infiltrator Livia's Thoughts: "Tsarnai, Pandora, Moks, Borlaaq, Voss. Who is she?" Livia has been apprehensive about Tsarnai since learning she had hidden her identity and posed as a midlander for the first few moons they knew each other. That she was born a Moks makes Livia suspect she may have been reporting to her clan on sensitive information. Vado Mercier, The Engineer. ( ♦ $ ) - Overzealous Engineer Livia's Thoughts: "Vado does a lot of work for the Court. Doesn't always seem to carry his stress well. I think he's more sensitive than he'd lead others to believe." Livia met Vado when they were out drinking, and in his drunken state, he tried to remove her mask. She knocked him out and beat him up. She is also responsible for his drowning. After he had implied she had no concern for anyone but herself, the two fought and Vado inadvertently electrocuted Atlan instead of her. Though they were broken up, they still haven't quite resolved their differences.

Rumors NPC Rumors Some of these rumors are untrue, speculation, or are greatly exaggerated. ◢ Common Rumors - Easily overheard. Use these freely! ■ "She has a high tolerance for spicy food." ■ "That one? She started coming in a couple months ago, but haven't seen her face yet." ■ "Bought a couple potions off me, but never counts her gil. Only ever takes a handful and pushes it toward me. Chronically overpays." ◢ Uncommon Rumors - A little more difficult to hear. Use sparingly or ask first! ■ "They say that one talks to thin air, she does" ■ "She came in here with her whole ear cleaved clean off. Asked for a mirror an' stitched it right back on at the bar like it was nothin'. I got health inspectors to deal with, you know? I ain't saying she didn't do good work but I can't have my patrons just putting back body parts where I's serving drinks. I'll get cited, ya see?" ■ "I might've seen that mug on a wanted poster." ◢ Rare Rumors - Very rarely overheard. Please ask before using! ■ "Doesn't she look like the girl who went missing from just outside Limsa Lominsa all those years back?" ■ "I saw her walking around with one of them disfiguring scars across her throat. The next week it was gone." ■ "The inside of her mouth looks like she eats glass for breakfast." PC Rumors Feel free to add your own rumors to this section. ◢ Player Character Rumors - Some of these are more rare than others! ■ "Aye that's her, the one with the big axe and funky helmet. Now the password we got going for this is 'Oranges' just in case some of the Blades come by. So say the password to her a few times and she'll hook you up, my friend." — Anagna Kenesa. ■ "The mask she wears? A facade. It's a cover for the true mask she wears, one that she wears knowingly but unwillingly. There is something there behind those pretty eyes of hers, something wrong that I can't quite place. She will take that mask off one day, I wonder if she'll be okay when she finds out who she is." — Dovienya Cuenn. ■ A faint sigh. "I keep to myself and lay low, if that includes sucking up so be it. Yet, I feel like Livia sees right through me and she's disgusted with a second life that I live. I want her to like me, but I can't explain why. All she ever does is frustrate me. Maybe I am a masochist. I told Zha I'd punch her right in the face to earn her respect, but with my track record I'm not really willing to loose all my front teeth.." — Cemi Jinfeh.

OOC Notes Player Information Player Note There is a lot of information on this character wiki, but it is by no means completely comprehensive. There are chunks of backstory that are left intentionally vague so that details can be later added as developed through creative writing or in role-play revelation. Feel free to use Common or Uncommon rumors freely, if you want to use a Rare Rumor as a plot hook or to spark RP, I would ask that you send me a tell first, to make certain it's alright. The line in between IC and OOC is very important to me. While I do seek to make friends and connections OOC, it might be quite the opposite IC, and that should always be considered separately. If ever there is a time that I do or say something that makes you uncomfortable, please /tell me at once. No, I will not be hurt or offended, but relieved that I can make amends (if allowed) for my transgression. I play a character who is difficult to get to know. She really only will disclose personal information if alone with another person, otherwise she's likely to be evasive and probably a little bit offensive if asked.
