Basic Info

Roroko is a woman who has always had a lingering desire to venture out past the city walls- and with her newfound courage has begun to do just that. Most of what she knew of the outside world used to be limited to books and a brief summer of traveling, but now she enjoys numerous outings with both friends and potential friends alike! She is an avid reader and, despite complaining about it on a near-daily basis, is very dedicated to her work.

Roroko is a woman of business and the current head of the quickly-growing Royal Colibri Workforce Solutions & Trading Company. As a merchant she has dabbled in both legal and illegal work (even personally believing there is no such thing as a "good" merchant in Ul’dah), but tries to the best of her ability to stay out of anything that could have detrimental effects on herself, her clients, or the surrounding community as a whole.

Personality

Towards business partners Roroko is nothing but civil and polite, usually only speaking when needed. She views most friendships made from business as a facade, and values those she meets while not working more-so than her work counterparts.

With strangers and friends she is more prone to opening up to them...then again, Roroko doesn't have many friends to begin with, so she treasures the ones she meets. She is very talkative (often rambling more than she means to) and kind to people she first meets, and it’s hard not to notice her love of traveling when talking to her, as she more often than not tends to subconsciously veer her conversations to topics regarding the outside world. She is not entirely friendly, however, and can come across as rude or curt to people if they rub her the wrong way. Work has taught her how to judge people, and it’s very hard to change her mind on someone once she’s come to a decision on them. With all that said, although Roroko appears to be a smart enough individual, she's terrible when it comes to trusting people- often placing too much faith in others and willfully believing sob stories or heartfelt tales. She constantly berates herself for it, but it continues to happen.

The time spent around the other races in Ul’dah has, unfortunately, made Roroko think lowly of herself in terms of looks. She reacts negatively to both potential suitors and innocent compliments alike, often shooting them down with unusual amounts of malice and denial. The situation is rare, however, as Roroko is usually oblivious to any advances made.

Appearance

Roroko, like all Lalafell, is noticeably short, reaching a mere three fulms. She has amaranth-colored hair with pink highlights, fashioned into two thick and wavy twintails with uneven bangs. She has pink eyes and brown skin with red undertones. A pink birthstone can usually be seen adorning her forehead.

Combat

Roroko is a fan of all forms of magic, and prides herself in her abundance of aether and knowledge of the arcane, thaumaturgy, conjury, and more recently, astromancy. When it comes to actually utilizing the magic she is still making small steps with most schools of magic save for astromancy, and proudly calls herself an astrologian. Thanks to her small size Roroko doesn’t pack much of a punch in the physical department, although it is rumored that she’s been seen with an axe or rifle in her hands on more than one occasion.
