Arietty is a 24 year old Raen Au'Ra who was born blind. She lived with her family in the Raen homeland until she was 3 when she was apprenticed to a master scholar. She doesn't know anything about her parents or where she lived except for very vague memories of a mother and father and a beautiful town with a view of the mountains.
Appearance & PersonalityDemeanor: Arietty is a pretty easy going woman. She could spend hours lost in a book, toying with a new object, or just out and about enjoying the sounds and sights of a city. She's clumsy in an adorable way and can be very slow moving and will usually track the sound of a voice near her with her head.
Nature: Arietty considers herself to be extremely warm and kind but can be quick to anger if someone is being a fool. She will freely donate her time to helping people learn if they request it and frequently wanders about Eorzea to find new things to study.
Habits: Arietty's habits are fairly general. She likes to touch and examine things with her fingers, her head is usually tilted to get a sense of where people or things are around her. She plays nervously with her clothing, hair or anything in reach that her hands can touch.
Common Appearance: Arietty has long red hair that is usually left to fall around her shoulders or tied up to be kept out of her way. She has teal coloured eyes with grey limbal rings on the outside. Her skin is usually pale since she spends most of her time inside. Otherwise she keeps herself fastidiously neat and clean.
Scars & Markings: Arietty only has one small scar above her eyebrow from a particularly bad fall when she was ten. Ari considers herself lucky that she has nothing else.
Voice: Having lived with Sharlayians for almost her entire life Arietty has a soft accent when she speaks Eorzean but can switch between the two languages with ease. Her voice is usually soft and quiet and she tries not to speak loudly unless she's angry or feels she needs to be heard.
Clothing: Arietty isn't particular when it comes to clothes. She favors robes when she is busy working but otherwise is not picky but she does have a decent fashion-sense.

AbilitiesArietty is very good at using Aether to not only see but sense the world around her and use it in her creations. Since she's blind she also has extremely good memory and hearing. She can follow someone as they walk around and Ari adjusts her head to follow them, she learned from a young age that just staring ahead made people uncomfortable. Her fingers are also sensitive and Arietty uses them to find out many things her eyes can't tell her.
Arietty doesn't like to use her ability to see Aether to read the world around her much, so she prefers to use her own heightened senses and this can lead to many mishaps, like tripping and hurting herself. She can be very quiet and soft spoken which makes her hard to hear and her temper can flare up quickly. In battle she's not as good as most people and so prefers to stand back and heal but isn't afraid to jump into the heat of things to protect something or someone. Prolonged Aether exposure makes her feel sick and so she tries to avoid using or being near it for long periods of time.

HistoryDuring her childhood years Arietty spent most of her time at home reading books and dreaming of far off places. The children like all children do mocked her ceaselessly but she did make a friend, a boy would-be thief named Micah who taught her many things on their scampering around the city. Micah was very kind and helped Arietty whenever he could. Master Dain was a researcher and scholar of the Nymian healing arts and taught Arietty all he knew. In the coming years they grew very close and Arietty considered Dain her uncle, Master Dain had no family of his own and treated Arietty like a daughter. When she was 18 she began to enroll in other classes, she had been learning from Dain for many years by then and had picked up almost all he could teach her. Arietty spread her interests far and picked up a foundation in Alchemy though it didn't hold her interest past the beginning classes. After attending an introductory course that was about inventing and machining she signed up with her Uncle's blessing and continued that course for another 5 years. Her blindness made the class difficult but her determination won through and she graduated with good marks. Master Dain at this point in her life was very old and sick. On top of classes Arietty kept a very full and tiring schedule of taking on odd jobs like tutoring or teaching, keeping the small house clean and attending classes, she was up at dawn and didn't sleep until well into the night. Eventually her beloved uncle and teacher died when Arietty was 20 and left her everything he had. Arietty grieved deeply for her only family member but the work didn't cease. She was beginning to explore the Aether and the sight she achieved from using but realized quickly that it was being used as a clutch to see and made her sick with prolonged use. As a side project she also modified her own set of Sharlayan glasses. Both allow her to see but her pride demands she not use them unless they are needed.
Finally at 24 Arietty sold her master's house and travelled to Eorzea. She wanted to explore the world now and see it with new eyes now that she had two new venues to do so and maybe start her own school of learning to carry on her master's teachings. She was incredibly sad at having to lose Micah her only friend but she felt her that leaving to go to Eorzea was right and promised to visit and write often.
