Cima Fhae (technically II) [see-ma • f/r/-ay; translated treasure faerie (alias: Blinny)] is a... well, that is... Fhae specializes in the procurement and trade of goods. Simply put: you want it, she can find it. At a price. And try not to ask too many questions - you could get a kitty cut.

"Is it a needful thing?"

Basic Info

---

A slight sprite of a creature with an elfin countenance, Fhae is like... a cute shadow... a wisp of smoke, a... yeah. Her twig-like frame is riddled with scars, scratches, burns, bruises - the whole shabam, really - and it makes you wonder: "What has this Miqo'te gotten herself into?"

She is addicted to pipe-grass among various other substances and can be found with a glazed, glassy, hard, or absent look to her otherwise downcast, doey eyes. She clears her throat often and has a cough despite a voice that sounds like gentle rain.

If I get to pick a pig-tail hairstyle in character customization, that's what she's getting.

Fhae sports outfits of black-and-white, sometimes gray, sometimes brown, or sometimes actual colour. Her ears are embroidered by shining studs: stars and drops and dots, and at the very tips hang a crescent moon and blazing sun by chain-link (moon on left, sun on right). Around her neck she wears a choker and necklace: a silver bell carrying the sound of wind-chimes. She frequently wears fishnet armlets, as well as occupying her small wrists with beads, string and dangling silver.

History

---

Fhae was born in Gridania in the year 1562. Her mother died from giving birth and Fae still doesn't understand why her mother even bothered migrating to the city-state in the first place if she was just going to up and die on her. Was that her idea of a better life? Fhae scoffs. (Her mother was also named Cima Fhae - the only thing Fhae has that is her mother's.)

The white mages, being all righteous and such, sheltered Fhae the orphan and eventually an apprenticeship was attempted. Except Fhae didn't have a knack for that magick stuff. Her talents lay in the talk-of-the-town, reconnaissance on the adventurers and the happenings of the world. One conversation led to another and at ten-or-so-years-old, Fhae found herself leaving her home-state with a particularly rugged-looking Roegadyn explorer (who thought she could make a half-decent lackey.) He took her to the hustley-bustley desert city of commerce, where she learned a thing or two or several (and information she doesn't relay readily and neither will I.)

Then there was the port-city, and she got her first taste of the salt-breeze. What I mean is her first gulp of sea-water. She sailed on ship after ship as a deckhand, and then she was among pirates! My, it all escalated so quickly. She wasn't an exceptional sailor in any regard and had a tendency to get sea-sick. On a positive note, she loved the minstrel ladies and lads aboard those ships, and found herself fancying an instrument of her own. Unfortunately though, Fhae still doesn't have her own music-making tool. And it's 1577. In any case, she one day got back to land and the Roegadyn left her behind not shortly after (not that cruelly, though she kind of sees it as so - it was a voyage, and he couldn't afford to bring a kid along).

He never came back. So, through her "connections" and her "friends" she established something of a life for herself, and mostly sticks to her own company. She listens, though. She's always listening. And wandering.

Personality

---

A feely-feels sort of hermit. Quiet and reclusive; polite if approached, but otherwise keeps to herself and likes to work alone. Moody; emotional if well-acquainted. She is also a curious cat... and a sell-out. She's into material things and action. The rest is kind of... flaky. She's a space cadet too - but smart! Ditsy... but smart... when it comes to people, and giving them a read. Not that she cares for them, rather she takes an interest in them. A distant interest. In their needs, wants, fantasies, dreams, desires, motives. It's quite fascinating to her. Her sense of humour is dark, crude.

Other Notes

Character Inspiration: Mathilda Lando Alia of the Knife Triela Hit-Girl Hanna Heller

Fhae operates under the guise of a "courier." In sketchier scenarios, she claims to be the "runner." In both cases she is the "middle man." She refers to her occupation as "Finders, Keepers," and can be discovered through grapevine marketing and/or innocent posters on tavern walls, etc. To hire, it is encouraged that you send word (safely) through friends or via carrier pigeon. Or something. Will work out the details on a later date.

Also, obviously, no reaaal gil is required for this role-play idea, I just wanna have an excuse to mingle with all sorts of character breeds (and have fun doing it!). The price of her services would be pretend-gil or shinies of some-sort or another. She collects rabbit trinkets.

I'm not sure what my schedule will be like at the time of release, but I hope to be able to invest a good chunk of my time into gaming and such. This should work with my character concept as Fhae doesn't (necessarily) exist as a journeying companion (though adventure is FTW) and will be making appearances in small doses (I'm hoping medium doses, but...), due to the nature of her business and shy personality.

Wanted for Interesting Roleplay

If your character fits any of these thur things here and you find yourself interested, feel free to message me on the RPC or via IG (when ARR is officially out). Whether the relationship is predetermined by us or established through role-play, I don't really care. Just don't be shy to approach me!

• Clients, customers and business associates: If your character needs something of the black-market variety, Fhae can help them out. If your character supplies something of the black-market variety, Fhae can help them out. Under, over, and under the table.

• Law enforcement-types: The law and Fhae don't really see eye-to-eye.

• Doctors and medicine-men: Fhae is accustomed to the "rough life" by now, but that doesn't mean [when she holds her own in a stick-up] she doesn't need medical help.
