BUILD: Svanielle is a slender woman of short stature. Only standing between 5'7" and 5'8", she is shorter than the average elezen woman that even full grown hyur men can easily dwarf her. Her height is the result of living in poverty where she suffered from frequent malnutrition which stunted her growth during her childhood. Her diet improved when she was admitted into the Sharlayan Studium, but by the time she developed into womanhood she is unable to grown anymore. Due to her height it was difficult to find clothing of her size in Ishgard, being a city that primarily consisted of elezen. Commissioning custom made clothes would prove to be too expensive for someone who lives humbly, so she began to learn how to sew her own clothes which would prove to be a very useful skill. Despite her stature she seems quite fit enough to pull her weight, hands callous from the efforts of hard living.
PHYSICAL FEATURES: From the lack of sunlight and a meager diet, Svan has a very pale complexion, "white as snow" if we want to be floral about it. The color of the skin provides a vast contrast to her wavy black hair which curls in many directions that all the pins in the world would be unable to tame it. Her dark hair is even apparently so naturally unkempt it is hard to brush the knots out, so instead she often adorns it with various decorative hairpins and barrettes, preferably flowers. The first distinct feature of her hair is that upon closer inspection one could see faded purple streaks, which indicated at some point she must have colored her hair in the past. The second feature is that her hair is actually very disheveled in the back, the left side being longer than the right which appeared to be roughly cut. Because she parts her hair over her shoulder it's difficult to see the dishevelment.[1]
EYES: Probably her most striking feature that is further emphasized due to her overall monochromatic appearance. While her eyes are a pale lavender hue there have been hints of blue within. Svan applies dark eyeshadow to accent her eyes, which is actually the only makeup she would apply daily.
STYLE: Svan's state of dress is a combination of modest but alluring(your opinions vary of course), consisting of skirts and dresses to give her a freedom of movement. Her shirts vary between long or short sleeved which are often exposing her shoulders and back, or none at all. Notably, legs are always covered by stockings or thigh high boots, which in truth is due to because her legs are heavily scarred and sensitive upon exposure, a secret not known to many. Nost of her clothes are sewn by her own hand with simple solid colors without much flair, but as she hones her skills there is a significant improvement to her works. Her main colors are primarily white, black, or purple hues.
Yet every person has their vices: Her lowborn upbringing and years of countless scorn had severely crippled her mentality. Because of this Svan will not open herself up to others easily and completely disregards herself and her existence as a whole to the point of self-depreciating herself as means of jest. People are only able to see the surface that she had crafted herself, a mask to hide her true emotions of her life. Despite her true feelings she has accepted who she is, but she has also accepted that she is beyond repair and undeserving of good fortune no matter how many would disagree.
As a former Sharlayan student, Svan is naturally adept in all types of magicks.
Class Name: Runemancer
This class name is used to describe her magic methods, a mage primarily skilled in creating runic enchantments.
Despite having combat skills, Svan tends to keep her abilities to herself and uses them only when threatened or out on a job that requires it. It's very rare for her to use any of her skill aside from light healing magic, but she can hold her ground if forced. The best way to describe Svan's style of fighting is referring her as a mobile magic user, which she had become this way after being influenced by a friend's fate. As a result she honed her skills in various weaponry and began to weave magic into these skills rather than simply casting it through mediums. Much like how Arcanists use enchanted ink to power their tomes, she felt the same could be done through infusing magic into weaponry beyond staves and books. Hence, she learned how to enchant her weapons by infusing them with magic linkd to her so that she could utilize them to the fullest. She prefers to use a rapier in the style of a Red Mage for combat and healing, though lately she has become more accustomed to using a pair of chakrams much like the Dancers for more mobility.

TEST
This is a list of some of Svan's theme songs. This isn't a complete list but rather the songs that speak to me the most. This is liable to change.
As an adventurer, Svan can pretty much be found anywhere in Eorzea wherever her jobs take her. She is much more accustomed to the Black Shroud as her home is situated in the forest.
