Jancis Milburga, a, is an merchant's daughter orphaned in the Twelveswood and forced to come into her own.

Appearance

Jancis is overall quite plain in her manner of attire and appearance; though she keeps herself kept she does not follow the fashion or trends of higher classes or wear makeup. Her hands are soft and she'll typically wear gloves to protect them. [Album of References]

Jancis has an alto voice range and no vocal training.

Beyond what the character actually wears:

  • Around her neck is a simple chain holding a handmade ring with a lapis lazuli gem in it.
  • Has a plain handkerchief of cotton (not always the same one she constantly gives it away).
  • Typically has a small book-sized satchel containing basic medical supplies, a map, and a waterskin.
  • There is a wand or other natural-wood on her person or in her satchel.

Scars:

  • A knife scar across her cheek done in a traditional design which has stretched and faded as she's come into adulthood. Received as a child.
  • A keloid scar with a spider-like style with thin branches on her stomach and on her lower back; gotten from being impaled with a conjured stalagmite from Melfice Vainchelon in disguise.
  • Left leg has uneven texture from a zombie attack during the onslaught at Ul'dah's gates headed by Jin'li Epinoch.
  • Right shoulder has small jagged scars from the claws and teeth of a possessed imp attack. Received while rescuing L'aenoh Tia from a dark blood mage.
  • Three indented slots on her left side starting at her lower ribs which look like a giant fork stabbed her (which is what happened). Inflicted by Augustine Frost while under the influence of "Pink Primal" Memeli Meli.
  • Left arm has speckled skin coloring from burns and aether damage, a mix caused by Jana Ridah, Delial Grimsong, and fighting Louvel for Ja'ren A'lenthin.

General Demeanor

Jancis is awkward socially, ranging from blunt questions to over elaborate sentences as if talking in a storybook. She calls nearly everyone by some kind of title and will avoid saying the name of people she does not care about.

Having a kind heart, Jancis is very patient and forgiving with others. She's happiest when she is feeling useful and is a good follower. Has a soft spot for children and young animals, but in general she's very 'hands on' touching people on their arms or shoulders and taking their hands to make connection.

Fearless and willing to speak up to bring about understanding and clarification on matters she finds to be wrong, particularly if it is hurting someone. Defensive of friends and allies, or those she deems in duress, she will stand up in protection and literally block words or physical attempts of harm.

Combat - Views/Behavior

Mark Crilley Manga Shading.jpg
  • Skills
  • While not very smart in battle, Jancis does not fear it. She will go in and try to support everyone she's an ally with regardless of her own safety.
  • As a conjurer, Jancis is sensitive to the elements and through training has become more sensitive to the aether and magicks around people she's close to, giving her an edge on healing serious conditions at crucial times.
  • She's light of foot and quick to find a place she thinks will not hinder her allies.
  • She is trained in poisons and venoms, taking them herself in small doses to build up an immunity. She will use it as a rudimentary attack by throwing and misting as a distraction.
  • Trained with basics of a shield and staff. Usually does not have both at once and will two-hand whichever she has. Carries a wand and has natural items on her person at all times to form conjuration.
  • Weaknesses
  • Jancis is typically too preoccupied watching her allies she fails to watch out for herself and would be an easy target.
  • Her strength and dexterity in a fight is not too keen and she would easily fall in one-on-one battle.
  • Her ability to "read" aether is a novice level, so things that are unnatural or done by an arcanist she cannot undo by the same means. She can do little more than sense the presence of aether.
  • Being a conjurer, she relies on her voice to call out to the elements to assist her. Anything that would hinder that or interrupt her would leave her to rely on physical abilities alone.

Though Jancis fails to understand much of the subtle work Cici does, she still will speak up about the shadow sides of it.

To others Jancis will refer to her as "Lady Crofte" but personally will call her "CiCi". [Gallery] Show text

Franz Renatus - Axe fighter with powerful arcane abilities. Jancis met in Ul'dah and was taken by the man's selfish and heroic deeds. Despite the strange aetheric aura about him and typically sad expression, she has accepted his changes and is interested in helping unlock his memories. Unable to help heal him with aether, Jancis tries to protect the man from harm at every chance.[Jancis & Franz] "Master Franz" "The Hero of Ul'dah"Show text

Ilwe'ran Hlaiwa - Soft-spoken hunter, Jancis finds a comforting connection by the man's subtle nature at being present, but not obvious.

 L'aenoh Tia - Trained and rustic swordsman with few wits about him beyond his heart. Continues to do the best for this "hunter" as far as dealing with his wounds and problems from his past. Jancis now cooks a particular skillet bread specifically avoiding baking for his sake. Also is very protective of the man and will put up with most anything he dishes out, but continues to fail to protect him from harm since healing is a large ordeal for the man. He is something of a weakness for Jancis, getting upset easily about someone threatening to harm him or actually harming him. Other names "Ganzjaega", "Abarsoemr", referred to as "Sir L'aenoh"Show text

Lan Darklyn - The sword of the Harbingers and knight figure from the desert, Jancis ran into the man and (by chance) became fond of him. A semi-sad coincidence, Lan looks somewhat like Jancis' lost love, save for the short hair and sapphire eyes. The feelings were more complicated as she learned more of the man's past to nearly match with hyur fostering and training, as well as running into one another from short meetings long before. She nearly sees the man as the success she wanted for herself, and tries to assist the man in subtle ways so his life stays happy and prosperous unlike the 'twin' she fell in love with. "Saint Lan" "Sir Darklyn" "Lan".[Lan Darklyn]Show text

Leanne Delphium - Jancis met while healing at the Grindstone, impressed by her ability to deal with pain while Jancis tended to others with more serious wounds.

"Champion Leanne" "Lady Leanne"Show text

Memeli Meli - One of the Coral Sea, Memeli has a crazy reputation for being a caring bold company kin and a diabolical arcanist of unquestionable power. Jancis usually tolerates the lady's antics and is used as a piece of furniture by her. In case the lalafel tries to either slap or lie to Jancis, she has gotten into the habit of grabbing Meli's hair. Their continued relationship improves and Jancis has found a very soft and supportive spot for the strangely sweet lady. "Lady Meli"Show text

Nathan Telluride - Garish and happy-go-lucky bard, this man has a dashing smile and advice for any occasion. Jancis shares a polite and happy relationship, giving him patronage and following his work. "Master Telluride"Show text

Obsidian Hornet - An exotic sellsword, Jancis met the Hornet during a beach party briefly then again as part of the Coral Sea. After inquires from her on Jancis' safety and her relationship with Alveo, Jancis trusts and feels protected around the ebony lady. "Lady Hornet" to others, or "Hornet" to her.Show text

Ojune Wajune - A man of many traits and trades, Ojune is wise, magical, and cultured. Jancis is very fond of the man for his bravery and ability to continue on despite his handicap; having a great balance of not being held back by it and not afraid to ask for assistance because of it. She enjoys talking and listening to him. "Master Ojune" Show text

 Oscare Iono - A garish huntsman turned tragic figure, Jancis was really taken from his care and concern over Cici's exhaustion when they met. Jancis blunders in their friendship by dishonoring the man with her attempts to repay him and make him smile. She continues to watch and visit the man, despite how much his rejection upsets her, doing her best as he ends up running off. "Oscare" "Sir Iono"Show text

Osric Melkire - A Sergeant of the Immortal Flames, Jancis knows little of the man but believes the best of him. Known for his intelligence and being what the conjurer thinks of as a shadow knight, she realizes the man takes a lot on his shoulders and has strong beliefs. "Sir Osric"Show text

 Otto Vann - An eccentric artist from Ul'dah, Jancis met the man while he was dressing one of her company members. By random chance the man continues to come to her for her opinion and now some of her work in dealing with concoctions. More concerned with the man's well-being, Jancis continues to learn and tolerate his extravagant lifestyle to get a glimpse of understanding this man's way of thinking. Very willing to help the man and is still amazed by the amount of detail the man can pay attention to; she cares deeply for the troubles that no one else seems privy to or could even fathom. "Otto" "Master Vann."Show text

R'lexia Thras - A sweet and fearless swords woman, Jancis trusts and feels close to the woman for her pure heart and selfless nature. "Lady Lexia"Show text

Reginald Ozrik - Jancis views this man as a quiet resilient knight, full of virtue especially towards women and those less fortunate. She treats him with respect and honor that he deserves. "Sir Reginald"Show text

Renaud Becquerel - Captain of the Coral Sea. Jancis knows very little of this man and finds him full of rumors and contrasting behavior, going between a caring father figure to a careless and ruthless figurehead. She listens to him quietly, torn with her feelings to respect a title. Despite his change to Renee Becquerel she still refers to him as a man. "Captain Renaud".Show text

Reinette Sompt - Alchemist and the Practitioner of the Coral Sea, Jancis admires the pacifist for her determination and benevolence. She also delights in the many books belonging to the elezen woman. Jancis follows the lady's direction particularly in the welfare and care for the others in the company. "Lady Reinette"Show text

Roen Deneith - A quiet awkward lady, Jancis tries to see all of the good and pain that she's been told about in the woman. She treats her kindly and is curious about her. "Lady Deneith"Show text

Sigurd Rainecourt - Thaumaturge of the Coral Sea, Jancis views the man with regard for his intelligence and natural ability to reason with just about anyone. She holds more empathy and compassion for the man after being used as a scapegoat for Lady Dhemgeim's death on top of the mysterious tragic past the man has only mentioned before. Jancis listens to him for his eloquence and ability to haggle/barter any deal as well as his abilities to coerce others. "Master Sigurd" "Sigurd"Show text

Staelufre Lysmerl - The wild lady and namesake of the Coral Sea's home. Over time Jancis has grown grateful and closer to the Staelufre after the ordeals her lover and the advice they have given one another. Admires her initiative and bravery to make life better for everyone around her. Does not agree with her ways of handling problems, particular for her violent nature. "Lady Staelufre"Show text

Syl Souther - Something of a black sheep, but still a skilled healer. Jancis finds the tough and harsh-tongued woman delightful. Since nearly leaving the Coral Sea, she tries to do extra work and nice things for the lady. "Lady Syl" Show text

Tasa Rhyzul - The hardened warrior with a subtle softer side, Jancis met Tasa while preparing with the company to save their leader. Despite Tasa's brash demeanor, she is a wise woman with a lot of heart and patience for the less experienced and has earned quite a bit of Jancis' respect. She is technically the warrior's indentured servant as she pays back a debt and is bidden to comply with any requests Tasa makes, though the lady does not enforce it. Believed dead.Show text

Tausenadel Geispyrsyn - Sailor in Coral Sea with a jovial soul and a knack for cooking, Jancis revers the man for his manly expression of compassion and his ways of dealing with bad situations under pressure. One of the leaders Jancis will take seriously. Considering all that has happened, Jancis tries to do whatever will make him comfortable, but is fairly sure his heart and spirit went to sea with his dead wife. "Tausen"Show text

Tiergan Vashir - Fighter of Coral Sea. Answered call for help in Lower La Noscea and followed under to find tempered during the Siren crisis. "Sir Vashir"Show text

Val Nunh - A uncooth fighter, Jancis met Val while she was being evaluated to study under the Harbingers. Catching her attention with the nickname "Milly", Jancis has built up a respect for the miqo'te for his realistic and kind-hearted views as well as his honestly in all matters. She tries to keep in touch with the man and support his feelings of usefulness and wanted. Sends him random items with cards, particular naming the item. "Val".Show text

Vaughn Antain - A benevolent man who helps recovering slaves and the downtrodden of Ul'dah that Jancis is growing to know better and revere. It is always a delight to run into the tall elezen and his other half Jaques. She tries to listen to his ideas and is always delighted to eat any of the food he's prepared. "Lord Vaughn" "Vaughn"Show text

X'Kohu Tia - A warm and affectionate man, Jancis has known him for most of her time outside of her isolated past. She considers him a generous and social friend. "Master Kohu" "Kohu".Show text

Xenedra Ambreaus - Lady bard and leader of the Solioquy group. Jancis is very grateful to the efforts from the woman and inviting her to partake in discussions of art and performance. "Lady Xenedra"Show text

Xydane Vale - Lone swordsman with knightly intentions, Jancis met the man when he came out of nowhere into the Coral Sea's house holding a letter she had written to Cici. Seeing his condition and overwhelmed by the selfless act, Jancis tries to follow the swordsman's tracks and whereabouts to repay him for his kindness with her own. "Sir Xydane", "Xydane"Show text

Z'enath Vashyr - A Free Paladin of Ul'dah and accomplished swordsman. Has a smile that always catches her off-guard. Jancis would ask for his help and wrote him often; struggling with the amount of attention and reverence he gave her. Coming to care and love the man deeply, she will often look sad and longing at random times after being reminded of his absence. Believed in hiding and incognito to find assassins linked to his past or killed by them. His loss resulted in Jancis dealing with a long recovery and lack of desire in many respects. [Random images of Z'enath and Jancis].Show text

Zachary Evans - Fighter in the arena of Ul'dah. Met during the zombie invasion into Ul'dah fighting side-by-side. Has close remember-able connection with the 'Lost Warriors of Light' who he's willing to sacrifice life for to rescue. Jancis greatly admires the man for his self-less behavior and the passion he shows for all the things he takes on. She loves listening to any story she manages to catch from the man, particularly about his family, and the way his entire body will turn red with bashful or frustrated thoughts. "Sir Evans"Show text

Background

QIvPuyu.jpg

Jancis Milburga was born as Lleuedwyn Fishcot, daughter of a middle-class merchant family. The Fishcots were known for their ability to export fish and were a successful travelling merchants. Misfortune came upon them on a trade route in the northern part of the Twelveswood; their caravan was overrun by scouting soldiers looking for monks from Ala Mhigo.

The Rest of the family murdered in the heretic hunt, the toddler Lleuedwyn was left to die in the woods. The soldiers had not been far off, refugees from Ala Mhigo as supporters of the monks escaped before persecution had been near the caravan. Coming to salvage what was left, they found Lleuedwyn and kept her as an asset to survive. Hiding out in the dawn of war, they found a secluded cavern deep in the Shroud protected by the Elements and the Woodswrath because they were caring for a child of the woods.

The highlanders were known as "Guardian" and "Shaman Milburga". Lleuedwyn was referred to strictly as "Child" and taught basics of survival, given books, and even taken into close villages with a mask and large clothing. She was mostly secluded from interacting with others and learned most of what she knew in the world from books or overhearing her two "protectors". As she grew into adolescence Shaman Milburga began to teach the child how to feel and understand the elements; partly to continue their protected place in the woods but also as a means for the girl to take care of herself later on in life.

From one of the many books Jancis picked out her own name and became more restless with the lack of interaction that she had so often read about. Over time she became more aware of her situation, the fate of her parents, and a limited recollection that she was an orphan. She became more adventurous and gathered items from her 'secret outings'. Caught on several outings, Guardian decided their time was up in the seclusion and the war had left more refugees around Gridania.

Giving her some supplies, Jancis was left out on the road with instructions to find the city and appeal to the generosity of the Conjurer's Guild. For about five years she worked for room and board while studying the art of conjuring and is now at the point to explore the world and build her future.

  • ♪The way that you love dear, the fate of the world you leave behind ♪ A way to the future, making a moment built to last ♪ You want to love, well now's your chance ♪ "To me, Jancis is someone full of opposites. She is strong, and gentle. She is withdrawn, but extroverted. There is so much honesty within her, but she's mysterious in her quiet nature. The clearest thing I've ever seen about Jancis is how she loves. She loves everyone, good and bad, because they are people and to her that is the most important of all the things. Jancis is someone who wears her heart on her sleeve, and is strong enough not to let it get broken by the world. The slow but up-beat tune of this song suits her to me. I love the way it goes up and down, because I feel Jancis must have had a lot of hardships in her life. But overall, this song is full of hope."
