General Information
Ashlyn Orben is a knight of House Fortemps, stationed at Camp Dragonhead.
She left her tribe on the Azim Steppe for the lands of Northern Eorzea, after the Garlean expansion. Having made a life for herself on the borders of Ishgard as a mender, a showing of fortitude during a dragon attack found her accepted into the ranks of House Fortemps. While she spends much of her time at Dragonhead, she maintains an apartment in the Firmament, and enjoys the opportunities to travel to Limsa Lominsa offered by recently reopened borders.

Mannerisms
Ashlyn is a 'commoner' by Ishgardian standards. Though respectful of noble traditions, she often struggles with formalities and relies on her friendliness and willingness to help to get by.
Philosophy & Ideals
Ashlyn is a devout believer in Halone, and attends church regularly. She struggles reconciling this with her understanding of the Auri Dusk Mother, and assumes the Dusk Mother is the Xaela understanding of Halone. This of course does not always mesh well.
Being an immigrant herself, Ashlyn is thrilled that Ishgard's borders have been reopened. She appreciates the efforts of Houses Fortemps and Haillenarte in creating a new way forward for the nation, and is an admirer of Ser Aymeric and his welcoming policies. Though she is angry with many of the actions of the Church - especially those which have recently come to light - she attributes them to evil men who have corrupted the institution of the Fury, and desperately supports significant reform.
Early Life
Childhood
Boragchin was born to the Xaela Orben tribe along the Great River, in 1548. She is the second child of five that she is aware of.
‘Agchin’ spent most of her early years in constant travel along the River, learning and eventually excelling at maintaining the tribe’s reed-and-scale rafts. Her family only occasionally met with other tribes and traders, mostly during the rare visit to Reunion. During one such visit in 1552, Agchin learned of the Garlean invasion of Doma – the displacement of other Au Ra and the threat of the Empire quickly broadened her world view.
She would then begin volunteer to travel to Reunion more often, and gained a much broader understanding of the world than her family and friends. This included learning of Au Ra fleeing to the northern regions of Eorzea, some returning with incredible tales. By 1562 at a young 14 years old, Agchin made the decision to abandon the nomadic life, and her family, booking passage on a trading vessel bound for Coerthas.
Adolescence
When Agchin arrived in the Western Highlands she quickly made way for Camp Riversmeet, having learned of the Temple Knights’ garrison which provided aide to travellers and traders. Had she arrived only a few years earlier, she would have been slaughtered on site – and though the Ishgardians remained cautious of Au Ra, it was by now understood that she and hers were not dragons. Her relative cuteness as a child, as well as her willingness to put her skills towards maintaining Temple and traveller equipment, served her well.
She spent the next seven years in the Highlands earning a living as a reliable mender, including expanding her skills into metalwork. Now calling herself ‘Ashlyn’ – a more palatable version of her name to the Ishgardian tongue – she eventually made enough to secure meagre lodging at Falcon’s Nest.
