Y'lyfriel Sikah
Jump to navigation

Appearance
She carries a few scars from the resonating destruction from the Battle of Carteneau. She usually dresses fairly well; the ample income she earns from her work in the Arcanists guild, as well as her cooking allows her to live well, if not always comfortably. She is in excellent physical condition, and spars frequently with a few of the Yellowjackets that she has befriended since moving into Limsa Lominsa; her preferred weapons are spear and staff. Recently, new acquaintances in the Twelveswood have introduced her to archery, and the Miqo'te tendency to gravitate towards it. She constantly seeks to better herself, and it's not often that she's seen without her bow and quiver, anymore.
Behaviour
Lyf often becomes easily frustrated when she encounters difficulty, and when circumstances allow it, she seeks solitude to pull apart any problem. When forced to deal with others, she easily comes off as aloof, but is actually capable of being amiable once well-acquainted with someone. Her recent experience with other Miqo'te in the Twelveswood has shaped her behavior around their respective cultures. She is insatiably curious about Keepers of the Moon, but extremely wary of Seekers of the Sun, especially males. Any implication that she should join a tribe, or join herself to a nuhn or tia is met with stony, cold resistance from her.

Character
General
Y'lyfriel Sikah is long-separated from her tribe. Though she carries the markings of her tribe and was raised with knowledge of Sunseeker culture, her closest tangible link to that culture is her sire, whom she has had no contact with since her birth. Instead, she was raised by her mother in La Noscea, entirely apart from any Miqo'te outside of their small family. Once she was old enough to frequent Limsa Lominsa, her frequent encounter with similar, disconnected Miqo'te convinced her that true Sunseekers (or Moonkeepers, for that matter) were a thing of rarity. Many of her ideals and presumptions were destroyed in the Calamity. Though her family was far from where Dalamud fell, Bahamut's destructive power reached far enough to decimate her home. Neither her mother or her sister's remains were recovered.

Combat
Though she still studies the Arcanum intensely, she has become more accustomed to, and more confident with, the use of her bow. She has seen few true skirmishes, but in all of them she has surprised, even scared, herself by her aptitude for quick thinking, even if it means taking a life..

Rumours
Easily Overheard Rumours
- ■ "I've 'eard her gettin' shouted deaf in the Bismark. Don't think the maesters care much for 'er." - Limsa Lominsa Resident
Somewhat Difficult To Overhear Rumours
- ■ "Always see her alone, that one. Only time not, when she's gettin' the ears beat off her, sparring with Yellowjackets up the beach." - La Noscean Merchant
Rarely Overheard Rumours
- ■ "I saw her climbing out of an airship, yesterday. All confidence and swagger, one of those godsdammed huge books tucked under one arm. Looked like she'd had a rough day, but was smiling for it.- Yellowjacket
- ■ "She ran past me, t'other day, red in the face, and a welt the size of a La Noscean orange on her cheek. Hope she sought a healer." - Local Fisher
Player Character Rumours
- ■ "She believes that if everyone is together that we'll be alright. It's naive, but... endearing." - Rhesh'ir Zhwan
- ■ "She's a strong-spirited girl, and unlike most sunseekers, I find her pleasant to be around. But she has an air of apologeticness about her that I can't shake, and it almost bothers me, to a degree. She works far too hard to please everyone, and her kindness is a double-bladed edge. What will happen when she runs out of resources to give, I wonder? Will she break, or will something new bloom?" - Onuma Ahntifi
- ■ "Lyf has a good heart. As far as I'm concerned, she's at the center of our little tribe. She works hard--probably too hard--to make it all work, and for that I am grateful." - Dawson Colwell
