Tem was born the second child of a smithy and shopkeeper in a small village on the outskirts of Thanalan. WIP
Tem stands on the tall side for a Hyur Midlander, with skin of a smooth and rich tawny topaz on a svelte dancer's physique. Her mid-back length hair -- often arranged in elaborate braids and coils or pulled to the side -- is as the snow reflecting the sky; utterly white and striking against her warm complexion, in compliment of clear, crystal blue bedroom eyes. The grace with which she carries herself in public belies the strength and stamina of her craft, and she presents herself with a vulnerable, demure, and overtly feminine allure.
Scars & Markings: As generally expected of an entertainer, Tem's complexion is healthy and well taken care of, dewy and radiant, lacking in any visible marring save for a deliberate branding of a dove in flight adjacent the wiry, curling lines of a fox, along the curve of her left breast.
Voice: "Dark Honey" has been an apt descriptor for Paloma's voice; rich and throaty -- a soft, velvet purr edging on sultry with articulate, astute words. Tem, on the other hand, speaks with a general, silvery musicality.
Clothing: Out and about in public, Tem -- or rather, Paloma -- is typically seen in her white entertainer's fineries of near eastern make, adorned of golden filagree, tassels, bangles, bracelets, earrings, seed bells and brilliant gemstones; anything that might draw attention to her movements like silk over steel. Feathers and bougainvillea are typical mainstays of the dancer's ensemble as well as a good pair of clacking heels.
When not playing the part of her alias, Tem avoids making a spectacle of herself, choosing more practical, down to earth fashions, perhaps sometimes even so far as to don hoods and cloaks if the company is right.

Tem is a pragmatic woman, an opportunistic creature whose business and street senses were honed making a living as self-promoting entertainer in the bustling metropolis of Ul'dah. Cunning and shrewd, she is no stranger to using charm, being manipulative comes with the territory though for all intents and purposes, she has no desire to be malicious to those who don't deserve it. A vivacious free spirit, she is independent and adventurous and fast to make acquaintances, but slow to trust and make true friends. While for a long time after leaving her home, looking out for number one was her top priority, she is now fiercely loyal to the handful of individuals she calls friends and dotes on them.
As Paloma, this bedroom-eyed young woman is unacquainted with the concept of personal space, and unabashedly applies flirtatious tone and gesture to almost every facet of her everyday life. She is also something of a lush and prone to playful, if a bit lewd, commentary when under the influence.

The youngest of two siblings, a decade younger than her elder sister Elaise, in fact, of the two, she was the more frail of health and lacked the physical strength of her sister. While normally this would have lead her to walk in the footsteps of their shopkeeper father, Tem wanted nothing to do with the family business, and this resulted in strained relationship between her and her parents. Instead, she was more interested with the life and culture of Ul'dah, including street performance and dancing, which she introduced to her village with unquestionable success.
While Elaise toiled at the forge, Tem became the village’s sweetheart; a town treasure of all their own. But the backwater audience soon grew to not be enough for the young woman, and upon coming of age, Tem left to make a name for herself in Ul'dah.
But the people of Ul'dah were not so easily impressed, nor were the streets quite as kind.
