Primrose Morningdew
[edit]
Primrose has an unclear past. She was in captivity with an Amaalj'aa tribe for roughly twenty-five years. There is mystery behind how she lasted so long without being sacrificed to summon Ifrit or being burned alive so that her ashes may have been used to protect the eggs of their young. She attributes it to the protection and guidance of her mother figure - Layla. Having escaped with Layla's assistance, she fled as far as she possibly could on foot before boarding a merchant's cart - not caring where it was going - until they reached Gridania. The conjurers in Stillfane Glade took her in, but she still had no formal place to stay. She spent her nights in The Twelveswood or in the Inn when she had the coin from small jobs around town. Only a few suns into her new life in Gridania did she meet Gaspard Haurtefert and begin "training" to be his bodyguard. This mostly included trying to eat, practicing running, and being shown around new areas by Gaspard until officially ready to act in a protective manner.
During that time she also met Killian Waltz - though his last name was 'De Bayle' at the time - and in him found a teacher of conjury. Though unable to see her, he was able to deduce that she was not eating well and thus took over as her doctor and part-time caretaker of sorts as well so that she may become healthier sooner. Primrose has had great success under his tutelage. Primrose brought these two men together to form a small party to journey to Thanalan, hoping to find the encampment Prim had last been kept at. They were successful, but in the process of getting in managed to indirectly cause Layla's death. In the short moments prior to the Highlander's passing, she explained the smallest bit of Primrose's past - including that she has a sister named 'Scarlet'. Upon attempting to escape, Killian's attempt to bring mercy to the captives left behind led to a falling out with Primrose. In her time away from Killian, she was offered a place to stay in Gaspard's apartment. Though she eventually made up with Killian, she was forced to re-evaluate her ideas of right and wrong to something a little less black and white. Through this, Primrose's feelings for Gaspard became romantic. After a dark figure from her past arrived - causing a brutal fight between him, Primrose, and Killian - Primrose was left with fragmented pieces of information on her past and a scarred and crippled body, even after healing from The Fane. She is still currently relearning to use her legs after significant damage to them. During this encounter, Scarlet made an appearance before her sister for the first time. Most recently - having made questionable choices that very nearly destroyed her friendships with Killian and Gaspard, she made an attempt to return to the home her sister's manservant had told her of. Scarlet, Kamui (her manservant), and Gaspard set out after her upon realizing what she had done. She made it home with just a cold and a new declaration of love, but it nearly cost Gaspard his life. She is currently very disappointed with herself and searching for ways to make it up to both him and Killian for her actions. Her goals are roughly the same. Protect Gaspard, learn from Killian, and find out more about her past.
Primrose registers at a meager 4 fulms, 11 ilms - though she is convinced she is a solid 5 fulms - which is rather short for even a Midlander Hyur. Her hair is straight, white as snow, and falls just past her rear. She has heterochromia - or differently colored eyes - with the left eye being black and the right eye being silver. Her build is quite petite and she has only recently begun to recover from extreme malnourishment from her recent captivity, her ribs no longer prominent beneath her tanned skin as they were. Despire her having been underweight, she has always had a well developed bosom. Her waist is tiny, hips small and curved, but she has a practically non-existent butt. A small beauty mark rests at the righthand corner of her mouth that accentuates her perpetual sunny smile. There are rings of light scarring around her neck and throat. Both of her earlobes are pierced.
Aspects That Stand Out:
Primrose is essentially a walking ray of sunshine. Though completely oblivious to many things, she generally does not let that stop her from seeing a positive outcome to virtually every situation she is placed in. She is constantly smiling and will happily greet anyone that makes eye contact with her. This comes as a surprise when anyone learns of her past hardships. Despite this radiant positivity, she sometimes gets too caught up in trying to solve her own problems to ask for help along the way. The only time her positivity seems to falter is in regards to herself.
Primrose will verbalize every thought she has about a person out loud and in the exact moment she has the thought – but lucky for her and everyone else, her thoughts are typically very sweet and positive. She has only recently experienced any type of romantic emotion but has always pictured herself happy with someone. At first, the object of her affections did not return the sentiment, but she chose to stay by his side despite this, as her feelings and this man have given her something to live for for the first time in her life. Though she desperately tried to keep a positive attitude in this one-sided adoration, her overwhelming new feelings often got the best of her and she developed a little anxiety over it. Though the affection is no longer one-sided, it will take time for her anxieties to ease.
