Given Name: Faye Lunetta Rosalba Covington Nicknames and Aliases: Faye is often addressed as Lady Covington, Lady Faye, Saint Faye

Appearance

Faye stands rather tall for a midlander woman at 5'8", weighing about 130 Ponze, and almost always carries herself with poise, grace and dignity, her shoulders squared, her back straight, and her head held high. Her skin is very pale and smooth, free of any freckles, scars, or blemishes. The woman's hair is long and straight, snowy white with faint hints of platinum blonde, bangs brushed to her left. Her face is oval-shaped with a small, wide, up-turned nose and plump, full pink lips. Her eyes are an icy blue, almond-shaped and lined with thick, dark eyelashes. Her eyebrows are the same ivory color as her hair, delicately arched and neat. Her earlobes are each pierced once, no other piercings or tattoos to be found on her body. Her frame is slender without being too bony or toned, with a small waist, average-sized breasts, and an hourglass figure. The Hyur has a calm and confident demeanor about her. She tends to wear jewelry, usually gold and pearls, and often opts for the more feminine, choosing dresses and skirts over shorts or pants. She wears cloth rather than any armors and is usually seen in white or pale colors. Her appearance is always neat and orderly, no wrinkles, not a speck of dirt, and not a hair out of place.

Her voice is smooth and melodic, her speaking tone just barely high-pitched enough to be considered soprano. Each word is clear and articulate, carefully pronounced and measured. Her normal speaking voice is soft without being meek or difficult to hear, but when she is giving out orders, the woman is commanding and able to be rather loud if she pleases. The tone of her voice can snap from demure young noblewoman to demanding leader in a single moment.

Behavior

Polite, mannerly, and charming, she prides herself on being a “proper lady.” Her confidence can often come across as haughtiness, but otherwise she seems fairly pleasant. She’s generally friendly, even if not particularly outspoken, but when someone irks her she can get a bit snippy. She usually keeps her calm and composure, only sometimes lending herself to annoyance or frustration, but any other emotional outbursts are rare. In the most terrifying of situations, she will often be merely alarmed rather than horrified, and when tragedy strikes it's rare to see her shed a tear. Most of her motions are shallow and feigned, though she's skilled in coming across as genuine. Rarely does she lose her temper, but when she does, she is violently angry, venting her emotions through destructive means. Generally, she hides the emotions she does feel and feigns the emotions shows, but rarely do others see through this façade. There are a few people, though, who she is (mostly) honest with in her emotions, but they are few and far between. She is incredibly stubborn and ambitious. She presents herself as being rather straightforward (never mind the tricky schemes that she’s probably plotting in her head) and she is rather charismatic. Though she sometimes likes to joke around, she usually refrains from crazy and silly antics, making her a bit of a stick in the mud at times. She has a strong sense of "honor," even if her moral code is unique to herself and somewhat baffling to others, with lying and manipulation apparently being acceptable to obtain an important enough goal. Her thinking is very much along the lines of "the end justifies the means."

Faye hates feeling weak and vulnerable and it is mostly for this reason that she is always seeking power, because she can’t stand seeing others superior to her. This can make her power hungry and overambitious. She is persuasive and manipulative, and she will use and hurt people to get what she wants with little hesitation. She is witty and even if she could win a fight, she would prefer to talk her way out of a situation rather than resort to violence. Rather aloof, she is a bit out of touch with other people and their emotions and ideals. Even if she does claim to care for someone, she will often still use him or her as a pawn to achieve her goals if she sees fit, even if she truly does care for that person. To her, most relationships are expendable. Though even if not always entirely loyal and kind to them, she is fiercely protective of those few people she actually does love, though sometimes it can lead her to be smothering, obsessive, or controlling. Because she dislikes vulnerability, she is rarely honest about her emotions and her intentions, regardless of whether they be good or bad.

Apparently a believer in the notion that knowledge is power, she is often curious and dislikes not knowing things. She tends to be self-righteous and often lectures other people on their manners, morals, honor, or other behaviors. She doesn’t like to be tied down by relationships or responsibilities to others. No matter how close a relationship may seem, most are only superficial on the Hyur's end. She is very vengeful when she feels she's been wronged. Though it’s difficult for her, she tries not to cause mischief, meddle in others’ affairs, or smite a few sinners “for the sake of the greater good,” but she always eventually slips up. Whether Faye is truly malevolent or good in nature is hard to determine. Mostly, she remains in neutral ground.

Combat

General

Faye rarely fights unless she must, not viewing her magic or violence as things that should be used for sport or trivial matters. When she does fight, she wields her magic fiercely, seeking to end the battle as quickly as possible. For a conjurer, her destructive magic is especially strong (the downside being her healing is lacking). She usually goes fully on the assault, more of an offensive fighter than defensive. Not much of a brawler to begin with, she is not well-educated in tactics and her anger often gets the better of her in combat. Particularly strange for a spellcaster, she is prone to going into a berserker-like rages. She is quick, but not quite as nimble as a trained fighter, and has little physical strength.

Tendencies

Dislikes

• Bad manners are her biggest pet peeve, and she's not above lecturing others on the subject.
• She hates dirt and disorganization. She tries to keep both her appearance and her living space neat and orderly.
• She immediately dislikes criminals and evil-doers. She values the law, honor, and what is "right."

Other

• Despite being otherwise perfect housewife material, Faye cannot cook well at all.
• Her love for tea borders on the obsessive.

Relationships

Family

Faye was born an only child with few close relatives aside from her parents. Her mother was a noblewoman who took her status very seriously and her father was a powerful conjurer and soldier who was rarely present in Faye's childhood. All significant biological family is assumed to have died four years ago if not earlier.

Friends

TBA

Enemies

The Garlean Empire. Criminals, evildoers, anyone who hurts those she loves (even if it be accidental or justified), and anyone who gets between her and a goal.
