Alothia Starkwood is a miqo'te woman who has lived a long and fruitful life, but one peppered with drama and intrigue. She has been the owner of a small company, girlfriend to a number of different men, friend to many people, and woman who takes time to get to know people from all walks of life.

At 26 years of age, she acts much more mature in some aspects than one would think, but not without an ample amount of immaturity to make up for it. She enjoys a good dirty joke or story, enjoys making her friends get flustered because of awkward situations, and generally has a wild sense of humor.

Although she exudes a flirty and chatty demeanor, it often conceals a tumult of emotions hidden beneath the surface. Very few people know the her that lurks in the interior of that storm, and she is tentative about extending that trust to people. If you do manage to crack that surface, however, you will have her as a steadfast and loyal friend, one willing to stand up to almost anything to protect those she cares about.

LIKES ■ Miqa'bobs. Particularly Tuna. It reminds her of home. ■ Ear Scratches. She's a sucker for them. ■ Bubble baths. Nothing more relaxing than a tub. ■ Quirky people. People who are interesting interest her.

DISLIKES ■ Being Pushed Around. No one puts Aly in the corner. ■ Intolerance. Aly has spent many years being kind to others and learning their stories before judging. She wishes the same of others. ■ Conflict. While it is a necessary evil, she avoids it like the plague. ■ Rain. It makes her tail poof and her hair become matted. No to this. Unless it's the sound. She likes the sound of rain.

FEARS ■ Being Alone. If anything scares the woman, it is this. A life of solitude. ■ Manipulation. In her past life, she was extremely manipulative, and she hates to think she'd become like that again. ■ Death. Watching people die is her least favorite thing in the world, and losing those close to her is her worst fear. ■ Cheating. She is very self conscious and is always scared that her significant others will stray.

STRENGTHS ■ Charisma. Alothia is charismatic and it enables her to approach people of all walks of life for conversation. ■ Thaumaturgy. She's great at blowing stuff up. ■ Handwriting. She was taught how to write at a young age, and she practices daily. ■ Organization. Alothia is great at keeping people organized. Not so much for her desk though.

WEAKNESSES ■ Emotional. Alothia is often swayed by her emotions, whether good or bad.. ■ Naive. Alothia takes most people at face value. She wants to believe in the best in everyone. ■ Clumsy. While she can be a strong magic user, she is not very deft as far as easy tasks, and can get even clumsier when flustered. ■ Weak. She is trained to use daggers in close quarters, but if it came to a match of physical strength, she would lose.

FAVORITE PLACES ■ Gridania. Home of her youth. ■ Thal's Respite. She often goes there for contemplation. ■ Sanctum of the Twelve. Somewhat religious, this is where Alothia travels to center herself. ■ Hawthorne Hut. Favorite place ever. Quiet, nice view, hot springs. What more could you ask for?

APPEARANCE

• Height: Tall for a Miqo'te

• Weight: Averageish, slight tummy, full in the bust and hips

• Body: Soft and quick, some muscle definition.

• Hair: Long and tied back on the sides, Pink with blue highlights

• Eyes: Lavender

• Skin: Pale, some say pale to the point of looking like death, although not to her face.

• Clothing: Alothia prefers to wear comfortable clothing, but also clothing that shows off her assets. For a night out, she enjoys wearing her Coatee, but when working, Alothia wears Robes and other traditional Conjurer garb.

ABILITIES

Alothia is a multi skilled woman, although not as skilled as some. Her first and foremost skills lie in the magical arts. While she knows how to use them in the conventional sense, her specialization is the weaving of elements to create varied spells. Akin to weaving, she is able to take smallest threads of elements and use them to create something new. Always thinking on her toes, this is what makes her a most formidable opponent.

THAUMATURGY Alothia is a well trained thaumaturge, with extra abilities when dealing with fire magic. She was trained in it when she was very young, as she had an affinity for it, and her parents hired her a private tutor. During her more unpleasant years, Alothia's signature were buildings left smouldering. Now, it is her main magic of defense.

CONJURY When Alothia grew a little older, she also sought training from the Conjurers of the Fane. She learned to commune with the elementals and was an adept healer. Incidents beyond her control ripped her healing abilities from her, although she is able to still control wind, air, and earth.

LANCE Alothia has some training with the lance, although not as much to be considered of any value. She took up this training when spending a lot of time with the Everwatch.

DAGGERS During Alothia's earlier years, she made a point of being able to defend herself in close quarters. She almost always has a dagger or two hidden on her person, ready to use at any moment.

STAMINA What Alothia lacks in physical power she makes up for in stamina and speed. She is quick and able to maneuver out of most situations, even despite her clumsy tendencies.

HISTORY

NOTE: Information presented here may be used as RP hooks within reasonable means. It is mostly presented as a point of reference for myself because I am hella forgetful.

PRE-CALAMITY Origins Alothia grew up in the forest of the Eastern Shroud, near Hyrstmill. She came from a small family consisting of her father, mother and younger sister. Her childhood was a happy one, with the only problem being that her parents were always working and didn't have a ton of time to spend with her. Alothia saw what this did to her parents, this constant working, and decided that she didn't want to be a slave to work. It was about the same time that Alothia realized that she had a gift for getting people to like her and befriend her...she had become a manipulator. With these skills, she left home against the will of her parents at the age of 15. It was not a peaceful leaving, and things were said and done at the time that Alothia doesn't like to discuss. Show text "My mother's name was Aughinae and my father's Emet. We lived in a small community not far away from Hyrstmill. My parents didn't leave the tribes, their parents had left...so I never knew what it was like growing up in that world. But, because my family wasn't a part of that group, they had to work extra hard to make it." She sighed at this point. "I remember being little and trying to get my parents' attention...but they were always working on something...I know it wasn't always like that, but that's what I remember most." She shifted a little. "When I was 8, my sister Lini was born. She was cute...but she took what little time my parents had for me away. Over the next 7 turns, I grew more and more distant from my home, and started hanging out with kids from other families, and a lot of the kids I met when we took trips to the city to sell our goods." She played with the hem of her top. "I liked the freedom of the cities. I liked the people I met there. They liked me...I found I was...good...at getting people to do what I wanted." She took the next part slow. "I ran away at 15. I remember screaming at my parents. I remember my mother crying...and then I left. And I never went back." Her eyes glazed over, old feelings being dredged up, tears pooling at their corners. "I never got to apologize...when we came back from the skip, I went there to find them...but the house was gone. It was completely burned to the ground. There was nothing left..." She wiped at the tears still left in her eyes and went on. "Life in the city was...very strange. I had made it a point to myself that I wouldn't become lost in work. So instead, I found no work at all. Instead, I let other people work for me. They did the dirty work. They got hurt. And I didn't care. I didn't really know any of them. They were merely faces that I could utilize to my end. It was a very hedonistic way of thinking, I know." She shrugged, the familiar feelings flooding her again. "I would take on jobs and send people out of them. Usually they were legitimate. Things like delivering a package...at least that's how it started. But I grew greedy. And my heart hardened. Why shouldn't I make more money? What was to stop me?" She shuddered. "I felt...powerful. People as my little pawns to use to my own end. I wasn't the one doing the work, so why should I care? Why would I care?" She clenched her fists, "And so I began to take on more dangerous lines of work. Theiving. Roughing. Murder." She laughed callously, "But my hands are clean...for the most part. There were a few...tasks...I rather enjoyed." She opened her palm to show the familiar burning flame. "I was quite the firestarter~" She blew into her palm until the flame went out again, then closed her hand and her eyes. “By the time I was 20, I had built quite a name for myself in the shadier circles. People came to me with jobs, and I took them all. My network of people was changing...I wasn't so sure what the people I was hiring were doing. Didn't care. I did befriend one girl...she was a young hyur thing. I suppose she reminded me of Lini. She wanted to please me so badly...so I sent her out on a job. I didn't think it would be a big deal. Go and steal a small thing..." "When...when we found her...she was mutilated...she had been raped...they cut words into her flesh and left her there...they knew she was working for me and left her barely alive....they would have given her mercy had they killed her." She closed her eyes again. "It hit me then, the gravity of my actions. I left the city and wandered after that. I needed time to think..." She sobbed then, small squeaking noises escaping from her lips. "I was a horrible person..." The next few years of her life were not so good. She managed to do well for herself, but at the cost of others. Many people were used in order to keep Alothia afloat, including a young Miqo'te girl. She was one of Alothia's lackeys, and she was sent out to do a job...which ended up being much more than was bargained for. When the girl returned to Alothia; bruised, battered, and broken; Alothia finally saw firsthand the damage that she was doing to others. She stopped her illegal dealings, and managed to run into a childhood friend, Frosty Mouse, who managed to help her set up a small mercenary company. The company thrived, growing from a small group of 2 or 3 workers, to a more extensive company. With the help of Zenge Eien, she named the company Corvus Cinis, after Zenge's old unit within the Garlean Army. While her company was thriving, she met one Mister Oskar Helvig, and they began a relationship. This relationship caused much dissension within the company as many of her employees did not like Oskar or the way that he seemingly manipulated Alothia. About 4 moons into their relationship, Oskar felt that he needed a break, and he and Alothia parted ways. Lost in her loneliness, Alothia focused on her company, strengthening it's bonds and helping to bring new employees into the fold. She kindled a new relationship with colleague and friend, Zenge Eien with whom she feelt much more at ease. Their relationship was passionate and just what Alothia needed to bring her focus back to the company and what was important. However, as the moons went on, Zenge grew more and more distant, spending much more time out on patrols for the Twin Adders. By the time the Calamity hit, Alothia and Zenge were completely separated. Zenge left, worried that his ties to the Garlean Empire would mean trouble for Alothia, and indeed they did. Constantly worried about being hunted down, Alothia fled deep into the Twelveswood to hide. She was not seen by the company nor any others for quite sometime. Yet the day that Dalmud fell, Alothia, determined to do her part, came out of hiding to help tend the wounds of those in the battle. While she did not see any of her companions there, she felt that she had at least done her part when it mattered most.

POST-CALAMITY Right Afterward Show text Alothia appeared again in the middle of the Twelveswood completely bewildered and unsure of what had just happened. The next few weeks went by in a blur, Alothia searching the Twelveswood for people she knew. On her travels, she found Endricane, equally as bewildered. They made their way to Quarrymill, or what was left of it, to try to find Kass. Instead, they found a house burnt to the ground, and no one who could tell them what had happened. Afterward, they made their way to where Alothia had grown up, only to find a similar situation. In their mutual grief they comforted each other, and then parted ways. Alothia then traveled to the three city states. First, Alothia traveled to Gridania, searching for word of her parents and sister. There, she signed back up with the Twin Adders, and checked in with the Stillglade Fane. While there, she helped for a few weeks with healing the sick. She also learned about the skip, and that five years had passed since the battle of Cartineau Flats. She was dumbstruck and did not leave her in room for several days. Finally, she decided to head to Ul'Dah to check on her properties. When she traveled there, the first thing she did was go to the Corvus Cinis headquarters, but found the building silent. She asked local merchants if they knew who currently owned the place, but none of them could tell her anything about the man who seemed to be living there. She frequented the Mineral Concern and the merchant stalls trying to catch wind of anyone she knew, until finally she heard that other people like her had been heading to Limsa Lominsa to the Soliloquy tavern. In the next few weeks, she made her way across Thanalan to La Noseca and eventually Limsa Lominsa. She managed to secure a room at the Mizzenmast and began traveling the city looking for familiar faces. She was pleased to see that Soliloquy was what everyone had said, a gathering ground for people like her. There she was reunited with Xenedra and Kass, and met quite a few other people. The suns went on, and she met a young Hyur named Paradyme Capellago. They began seeing each other on an exclusive basis, and quickly progressed that relationship from dating to being engaged. Everything was fine until Para's brother, Joshua, came looking for him. Alothia, along with her friends Lainseworth and Vash, made a daring rescue attempt. They managed to get Para back, but at the loss of the evil man who had captured him. Eventually, this resentment took a toll on their relationship, and Para quickly broke off the engagement, and slept with another woman, causing a rift between the two of them that could not be repaired as far as a relationship was concerned. Love...quadrangles? Show text Following the breakup that Para thrust upon her, Alothia became a sad individual, spending much of her time alone and contemplating. Her friends, however, did not want her to be alone. Eric and Lily began spending more time with her in an attempt to cheer her. Feelings, however, soon developed between Eric and Alothia, but that wasn't the end of it. After a trip to Soliloquy and an excursion in Limsa Lominsa, Alothia soon started having similar feelings for Kanko Saou, a seemingly surly Miqo'te. To further complicate matters, after a surprise training session from her friend Mikael, she also found herself having feelings for him as well. This was all a bit too much for the miqo'te woman, and after a week or two of being mired in the misery of indecision, Alothia decided that she needed to take a step back from all of them, and headed out to Coerthas. Kanko, however, followed her, and after a while, Alothia found that her heart had made her decision for her. This too, didn't come without complications. Deirdre Ta'ea, sometimes friend and sometimes foe, also had feelings for Kanko, which she kept hidden. Once the pair returned from Coerthas, they attended the Seventh Annual Full Cold Moon Gala, with the rest of Corvus Cinis. The crowd was too much, however, and the majority of Corvus made their way to Camp Bronze Lake for some rest and relaxation. While there, Deirdre showed up, and threatened to kill Para for breaking his vow to Alothia, and ended up in a skirmish with Kanko as well. Alothia, seemingly defeated, stepped back and let them fight it out, with Deirdre fleeing at the end, and Alothia tending to Kanko's wounds. A few suns later, Kanko approached Deirdre to confront her about the situation, and to retrieve the pendant she had stolen. When he returned, Alothia spoke with him of the conversation that he had had with Deirdre, which included Deirdre confessing her love for him. Alothia expected him to change his mind with his decision, but was instead surprised with his own confession of love. Having harbored the same feelings herself, she returned the sentiments, even if she was still a bit wary of the situation with Deirdre. I Just Can't Stomach It Show text The Tale of Souyo Xander ((This summary is copied from the AST/CC forums, and was written by Eric Verus)) Show text - A Corvus upon itself - (9/15/13 - 9/21/13) Corvus Cinis has been betrayed from within. The veteran Souyo Xander has betrayed his allies by succumbing to the influence of a darkened crystal that draws out the negative impulses in a person, in an attempt to gain power. The darkness within has pulled Souyo into a conquest to kill all Garleans, potentially purging, even those among Eorzean Citizenry, in retaliation to the travesties of the Garlean Military occupying parts of Eorzea. Lily Dawnsworn, Lainsworth Ravencraft, and Eric Verus met Souyo on the field of battle, and were soundly defeated by the powers both a crystal of darkness, and a crystal of light that Souyo once bore as a Paladin. To make matters worse,Vash Ashford, the cheerful Miqo’te member of the Company, as well as the strange Seeress known as ‘K’oriah’ were also corrupted under the influence of the Dark Crystal and pulled to Souyo’s side. Displaying that any member could be potentially vulnerable the company Leaders Alothia Starkwood and Lily Dawnsworn called for a lockdown on communications on the Company’s Linkshell communications, in an effort to protect members from further attacks. Meanwhile, Eric Verus launched a silent inquiry, using his skills in the Arcane and his experience in his encounter with the Dark Crystal to help verify allies and put the leadership at better ease. Unfortunately, not all were alerted to the goings on in process, and the Sorcerer Starwind Meladon was captured and held hostage, and Paradyme Capellago was shot by a Darksteel Arrow from Vash Ashford. Demands were made for Lily Dawnsworn, Eric Verus, and Alothia Starkwood to meet Souyo near the mountain ridge of Behemoth’s Dominion, in exchange for Starwind’s safe return. While left no other choice to comply, the trio were not content to simply walk into what they knew was a trap and each, individually and as a group formulated their own plans for confronting the corrupted Dragoon and his cohorts… - The Battle of the Dominion - (9/22/13) The two Trio’s met in Behemoth’s Dominion, where Souyo surrendered the unconscious Starwind as agreed, however, when Eric called reinforcements to gather the man, the Seeress K’oriah summoned a large Voidsent to attack the group, and thus a large battle began in earnest. Lily moved to engage Souyo, while Eric and Alothia engaged the Voidsent and the remaining two opponents with surprises of their own. Eric decided that his loyalty to Corvus superseded the bounds of law, and brought with him a Garlean Gunblade, which he used to keep Vash’s arrows at bay, while displaying a tremendous amount of magical resistance to spells and curses alike. While Alothia performed like an elemental fiend unleashed, displaying a level of offensive power not yet seen from her previously. Yet even as the Voidkin was bested with the might of Magic, and the Souyo and company began to feel pressure on all ends, the roaring cry of the Behemoth could be heard as it approached… it seemed that both companies would soon face the rampage of the great Beast of the Dominion. Fortunately, reinforcements from Corvus Cinus by distress calls, arrived just in time to engage the hearty beast. Among the many brave heroes of note: Tayn Zolin, whose quick wit and scouting lead the impromptu reinforcements to reach the Dominion just in time. Lainsworth Ravenclaw, recently re-emerging with renewing Paladin powers , whom was able to rearm Lily at a critical moment with Giantsgall Sword dubbed ‘Justice’. Mixie Trixie, able to show unique skills and powers to the Prismatic Crystal reacquired from Alothia on the field. Rio van Rash, who appeared herself on the field to aid the wounded at Eric’s behest, even after smuggling him her hand-crafted gunblade. Paradyme and Rhashi - who made sure in all the chaos Starwin Maleon and other wounded made it to safety from the battle, putting even their own lives at risk to save others. - among many others, even allies not yet members of Corvus Cinius. Meanwhile, as Lily began to drive Souyo back with skilled swordsmanship, some of which learned from Souyo’s own personal diaries. Alothia unleashed a powerful fireball inadvertently that would have scorched Eric along with Vash and K’oriah, though the Seeress mysteriously placed herself in more direct danger to push Eric to safety, much to his surprise. However, the forces of the Darkened Crystal had one last card to play. Battered and burned, Vash Ashford detonated the cliffside, which had been secretly packed with explosives. This triggered a landslide that injured many member of Corvus Cinis, as well as pinning the Behemoth beneath the rubble. Alothia and Eric both were flung from the cliffs in the explosion, landing hard upon the snow below. Alothia collided with a rock and lost consciousness, with Eric’s previous wounds and surgery scars being strained to the point of re-opening on landing. Souyo capitalized on the moment of weakness in the beast, and slammed his spear into the skull of the Behemoth,revealing his intention in the creatures dying wails. A Lightened Crystal, which he aimed to claim for his own, were it not for the pursuit of Lily who tossed Souyo’s old Paladin blade to knock it from his hands had sprung from the Behemoth’s life force. The Crystal Emitted a field of energy that prevented all others from interfering, and the two reengaged into their duel, fighting over who would claim this new source of power. Vash and K’oriah began to make their escape from the Dominion, climbing up the cliffs of the craggy mountains, when they were met by the arrival of K’anko Tia, who had scaled the mountain by hand to single handedly ambush a flee-attempt from Corvus’s foes, in spite of discharging himself from the Company earlier. Tossing the Mage to the side, K’anko engaged Vash directly in combat, forcing the Seer to look onto the violence from afar. Souyo fought with new Ferocity, meaning to claim the crystal for his own. However just as he was about to strike downwards from a powerful blow that would have dealt a grievous wound, Eric, having closed his wounds through sheer force of magical power and assistance from his Eos, unleashed a ruin spell that struck the man in mid-air, making the would be powerful strike into a battle-deciding blunder, giving Lily the opportunity to claim the Lightened Crystal for her own, and force the man to flee from the scene. - Aftermath of the Battle - Due to interference from the Fleeing Souyo, Kanko suffered severe wounds in his battle with Vash. However, he did not leave empty handed. The Miqo’te fighter managed to capture Vash, who fell unconscious to his wounds, and drag the youth from the Dominion to Corvus Cinus headquarters in Fallgourd Float, where the Remainder of the Company had gathered post battle. In spite of wounds of their own, Mixie, Eric, and Sesseriku, a friend of the the Company, all went to tend the others over themselves. However, they were met by Deirdre Ta’ea, who, after questioning Eric’s intentions for the captured Vash Ashford, decided to take him herself for her own intentions. Too weak and weary from the fighting, Eric decided against engaging the Elezen woman, and commanded the Company to stand down and allow her to leave with the Miqo’te traitor - shortly before collapsing to exhaustion himself. Sesseriku was finally given a pearl to the Company by Lily, in thanks for all his deeds - marking the first new recruitment to the Company since the betrayal, and a shift in the tides of the conflict. - A moment’s Respite - (9/23/13 - ??/??/??) The Pearl Souyo had in order to capitalize on communication was destroyed, his plan to acquire another crystal of power foiled, yet he was still at large, with many members of Corvus wounded or exhausted to collapse. The Company, however, won a small victory in earning the security of their communications once more and some semblance of normalcy could return. With Souyo having to face defeat at the loss of his own objective, there would be a moment’s pause in which he would have to reassess his tactics, and for the moment, a measure of peace would be enjoyed. However, for those closest to the conflict, this time would be a matter of preparation, for they aimed to make the next confrontation with Souyo the last. - A moment’s Respite - (9/23/13 - 9/25/13) The Pearl Souyo had in order to capitalize on communication was destroyed, his plan to acquire another crystal of power foiled, yet he was still at large, with many members of Corvus wounded or exhausted to collapse.

Eric, who had suffered under his exhaustion, mysteriously recovered after a heavily fevered day of unconsciousness. Concerned for events, he retreated for some time of meditation, and was promptly chastised by Lily, who asked him not to make a habit of such sudden disappearances. Meanwhile, the more stationary Alothia and K'anko resorted to a series of prank-letters, plaguing Lily and Eric with jokes regarding the pair. After a frustration-inspired bout of drinking, however the bonds of trust between Lily and Eric were strengthened as Lily confided her past to the Arcanist privately. Vash Ashford was put to question by Deirdre, and it was found that separation from the corrupting power of the Darkened Crystal actually resulted in a form of madness, and during a Prisoner Transfer, he made an escape under circumstances Eric calls into question, but does not get an straight answer from K'anko. Conversation's spark once again about the safety of the Company as a whole, and it is agreed upon that Corvus Headquarters be temporarily moved to the Observatory in Corthas Highlands for the protection of the company.

RELATIONS ♥ Romantic Attraction | ♥ Platonic Love | ✔ Positive | ✖ Negative | ● Neutral note: Characters with whom Alothia has had little interaction with will be gradually cycled out. Also trying to be more active with her in RP after a long sort of hiatus so please forgive me if your name has slipped my mind! People who have left a lasting impression on Alothia will remain in the list, even if they're not currently playing/around. Khale Embrise (♥ ) - Unexpected Connection. Alothia happened upon Khale in the Quicksand and, seeing the man alone, decided to approach him for conversation. In the time sense then, there hasn't been a day that they haven't spoken, and even if it is just for a few fleeting moments, they make a point of seeing each other. Surprised by the quickness with which their relationship progressed, Aly and Khale are thoroughly smitten with each other.. Eric Verus (♥ ) - Brother/Friend. Eric met Aly as a new recruit for Corvus Cinis right after the Calamity. They developed a budding romance, but Menphina had other plans for them. She has helped Eric overcome many things, as he has with her. Currently, they are still acquainted, but Aly wishes she got to see and speak with him more often.<.font> Kassandra Dawn ( ✔ ) - Kassabanana... Kass was one of Aly's first and closest friends in Eorzea. They went through much together before the Calamity, although they don't see each other as much as they used to. Aly's five year absence and subsequent disappearances have strained the relationship, although Alothia wishes to restore it someday. Lily Dawnsworn ( ✔ ) - ...Serious Business Lily is one of Aly's closest friends and confidantes, even though they are exact opposites. Lily is currently one of Aly's associates in Jutat De, a helpful moral compass when Aly loses her way, and a fun person to tease. U'zhan Tia (♥ ) - Friendly Fling. Aly and U'zhan met many moons ago in Soliloquy tavern, and they soon formed a fast friendship. Fast forward to Para's abandonment of their engagement, and the friendship became somewhat more. Nothing happened, however, until Alothia returned from her sojourn in the Shroud. Aly and U'zhan developed a casual fling, and even though they have affection for each other, they both realize that a serious relationship was not in the cards. Their fling lasted a few weeks, ending shortly before Aly began dating Khale. Oskar Helvig ( ● ) - First Love. Oskar was Alothia's first boyfriend in Eorzea. They dated for many moons back before the Calamity until drama with Deirdre Ta'ea ultimately caused them to split. Oskar disappeared into the caves of his forefathers, and is presumed dead. Paradyme Capellago ( ● ) - Ex Fiance. Alothia met Para one evening at the Soliloquy tavern, only to fall fast and hard into a relationship with the red-headed hyur. They quickly got engaged, only to have Para break the relationship with infidelity. They lost touch and never quite mended their relationship. She currently has no knowledge of his happenings. Zenge Eien ( ● ) - Garlean Persuasion Alothia and Zenge met at Corvus Cinis, developing a friendship that turned into romance after Oskar left the picture. Zenge's Garlean heritage never bothered Alothia, and they grew close despite the cultural differences. Unfortunately, the relationship grew strained, and ended completely once the Calamity passed. Alothia has not seen Zenge since a moon before the Calamity.
