At first glance, Faye Covington is nothing more than a demure and lovely Midlander of the upper class, a vision in white. One could easily think her as haughty and superficial as your average spoiled rich girl, but the fair lady proves to be remarkably resilient and in control. Rather than a fragile damsel in distress, she is witty, and perhaps too ambitious for her own good.

Faye stands rather tall for a Midlander woman at 5'8", weighing about 130 Ponz, 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, moles, or blemishes. The woman's hair is straight, snowy white with faint hints of platinum blonde. Her hairstyle often changes, but lately is most often left long and loose in gentle curls that fall down to her shoulderblades, parted down the middle with no bangs. Her face is oval-shaped with a small, wide, up-turned button nose and plump, full pink lips. Her eyes are an icy blue that sometimes reflect a pinkish-red or violet color, almond-shaped and lined with thick, long 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-shaped figure. Her left hand is a Magitek prosthetic, made of a sleek, lightweight, white metal, though it is almost always hidden behind a glove. There is some scarring along her wrist where the flesh meets metal. 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, leaning toward more modest and formal attire. She wears cloth rather than any armors and is usually seen in white or pale colors (pastel blue and pink in particular), though she does seem to have some fondness for red and gold. Her appearance is always neat and orderly, no wrinkles, not a speck of dirt, and not a hair out of place.
Speech: 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. Her speech is not overly formal, but is certainly not casual. She uses words most often to get her way and will therefore change her style of speech accordingly.

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. It leaves her often visibly unmoved by most tragedies and terrors, which can lead to the assumption that she is callous or unfeeling. She is rather secretive with her thoughts and emotions. There are a few people, though, who she is (mostly) honest with in her feelings, but they are few and far between. She is incredibly stubborn and ambitious. She presents herself as being rather straightforward and she is extremely 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.
Motivations: Helping those in need and helping herself. Ambitious, she seeks power above all else and wants to rule all that she can, but she intends to use that power to make the world a better place, even if also to satisfy her own wants.
Disposition: Calm, charming, polite, and usually friendly, but a bit aloof, not above snark and sarcasm, and catty when annoyed.
Outlook: All is justified for the greater good.
Positive Personality Traits
Charming, charismatic, confident, intelligent, persuasive, eloquent, mannerly, polite, ambitious, generous, sympathetic, and usually keeps calm and collected. Fiercely protective of those she truly cares for.
Negative Personality Traits
Manipulative, aloof, scheming, dishonest, secretive, self-righteous, conflicted, conceited, superficial, prideful, a bit of a stick-in-the-mud, and tends to "snap" if she is finally provoked to anger.
Likes
She loves to drink tea, especially with pleasant company and engaging conversation.
She prizes good etiquette above all else and enjoys those who are mannerly and show her proper respect.
Flattery! She enjoys attention. Just don't lay it on too thick, or she'll believe you're desperate or have ulterior motives.
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."
Quirks
Despite being otherwise perfect housewife material, Faye cannot cook well at all.
Her love for tea borders on the obsessive.
Regardless of claims otherwise, she really does enjoy being called "Princess"--if only by Val.
Fears
Dismemberment and severed limbs--a relatively new fear. The mere mention of them can make her stomach turn.
Failure and vulnerability. She detests being seen as weak or unsuccessful and often overcompensates to avoid it.
Voidsent and Garleans. Past run ins with the two have left her incredibly wary of anyone who so much as associates with either.

■ "She seems to be a good and honorable woman on the outside. However... I fear she and I do not much think alike." - Siobhain Surtsthalwyn
■ "Y'want what!? Get ya g'damned eyes off m'woman or I'll break y'fuckin' neck." - Val Nunh
■ "She is a shark, if she smells your blood, she will crush you with authority and words. I have to admit, I respect that." - Karaan Nolan
■ "Er... Lady Covington? Um... She's very kind. And pretty... Wh-why are you asking me about her? I'm just... I just help her..." - Jihl Wilzuun
■ "She's not bad... To y'face, at least. Money seems t'do things t'people, though, I reckon. Don't know if she's committed t'doing good or just looking for trouble or something." - Cecilia Hunt
■ "Lady Covington, eh? Well she is a rather nice woman, allowed my ass to join the Harbingers of The Dawn. Hmm, she is the only noble that I respect really, I like her mate too, he is a good guy. Oh and if you fuck with her and Val does not get you I will, and I promise you that they will not find your body." - Lan Darklyn
■ "Miss Covington? Oh I know her! Lovely, pale-of-hair? She seems sweet, but so~so polite and distant! She seems so formal, that if I had to guess, I'd say she's some sort of noble. I bet she'd be a lot of fun if she let herself enjoy things more!" - Aya Foxheart
■ "Every week she opens the doors of her company tavern. She's so kind and welcoming, such a wonderful hostess!" - Aya Foxheart
■ "She's prolly th'strongest woman I know, only she ain' really able t'lift nothin' heavy. S'just somethin' 'bout 'er. She knows what she wants an' she ain' gonna let nothin' stop 'er from gettin' it. Guess s'how she got me, yeah? S'admirable, really. I fuckin' love that woman." - Val Nunh
■ "A professional. One of the few that I think the title of 'lady' really applies to." - Jaques Guillaume
■ "When I imagine a true lady... Lady Faye comes to mind instantly. Truly, she is quite a magnificent woman." - C'eleni Meztli
■ "Beautiful, elegant and sophisticated. I imagine she can take care of herself, but I haven't had the chance to see it; Val guards her fiercely." - Berrod Armstrong
■ "I heard she's only with that Val guy because she's intimidated by his intelligence." - Spahro Llorn
■ "Lady Faye is characterized by a remarkable dispassionate style of leadership. Even in times of great distress she is able to fulfill her obligations and sustain the image of Matriarch. I only hope that she has a proper, private outlet for her emotions." - Lilia Lia
■ "Ah yes. White. More commonly referred to as 'Lady Faye.' She exhibits an aura of radiance and projects her good image to all observers. Her wealth, however, speaks differently; she desires power and may freely manipulate the commoners to achieve such power. White is ironic, yet a fitting name for her." - Lynx
■ "I respect Lady Faye's judgment and honestly view her as one of my closest female friends... but don't tell her I said that."- J'Maaira Tuhl
■ "I've only looked into them once, but it felt like looking into a mirror wrought in golden filigree: the Lady Covington's eyes conceal a thirst for power and subterfuge that very few possess. She is a deceptive, cunning creature, though most will never know, as beauty and altruism are often blinding. I can't fault the woman for these qualities, as I'd be trying to catch more flies in my web, too." - Sigurd Sundsteigen
■ "I have not had much of a chance to speak with the Matriarch. She exudes a calming and inspiring presence, often disrupted by her foul mannered Miqo'te companion. Despite her strange choice of Warden, I have great respect for her, and I am proud to serve in her Free Company." - Vallerin Hortimont
■ "Lady Covington reminds me of the noblewomen back home. Proud, calm, classy. She's way more reasonable than the likes of them, though." - Gwannes Oskwell
■ "Eh? T'Lady Covington? Oh righ'! I popped by t'estate once fer a drink. Dedicated hostess she were, stood by the door all night t'welcome her guests. Noble bearin', but ne'er once did I feel snobbed off." - Odette Saoirse
■ "The Matriarch is a good leader. She should definitely get more sassy with people, I would love to see that." - Sebastian Taylor
