Luna Fae [lu-NA • f-AY] is a pint-sized punk and Miqo'te warrior of nineteen cycles. With a wanderer's soul and adventurer's spirit, Luna goes where the wind takes her, freelancing her sleuth and apothecary skills to anyone with the right amount of shiny. To Luna there are no sides, just herself, in a world playing the game of survival with failing health. Her ultimate quest(s...) is to become a ninja, be the most deadly kitten on the block, and beat life at its own game.

Appearance & Personality

In three words, Luna is short, supple and strong. A smallfry on the Miqo'te scale, she stands 4 fulms 10 ilms and 90 ponz. Her Keeper heritage is glaringly obvious, what with her luminous lavender eyes, moon-bathed skin and snow-white hair. For someone who boasts of brawn, Yuni appears (humorously so) the opposite: small boned, girlishly figured, childish pigtails... not to mention an undeniable air of cute. Even so, with closer attention, there is also something feral, predatory... blood-thirsty?, which invokes a sense of foreboding while hinting at a clever facade (like an evil chihuahua... *shudders*).

But for those who don't look that closely, or just don't care, or like it... Luna is a free-spirited free-thinker with a insatiable desire for play (... if she didn't look purely Moon-kitty, you'd suspect she was Sunny). She likes to josh around and be mysterious, both quietly and not so quietly finding/creating all sorts of trouble. She's not afraid to get her hands dirty and likes to get into a good scrap, which kind of goes hand in hand with her lust for quick, chaotic situations. Other than that, Luna is predictably unpredictable... and if she's seen you once, she'll never forget you (she has a spy-glass too). Spooky, huh?

Biography

1558. Luna is born to a traditional hunter-gatherer tribe of Keepers that occupied the eastern Black Shroud.

1562. As she grows, Luna finds a way to make everything into a game. Her personal favourites are hide-and-seek and eye-spy.

1571. During her moon-rite to ascend into womanhood, Luna fails to complete the Hunt and loses herself in the Shroud.

1572. The cataclysm. Luna finds herself plucked from the forest and nestled alongside refugees on a carriage Ul'dah-bound. Any hope of returning home, fades.

1574. Luna is a hireling and works various oddjobs under adventurers, merchants... really, whoever needs a helping hand. She is enthralled by the melting pot of cultures, however... she hates the desert's heat.

1575. A courier job lands her in Limsa Lominsa, where Luna discovers and falls in love with the limitless ocean and unhampered pirate attitude. She catches a doddering story-teller re-account the legend of the ninja. Luna finally knows what she wants to be.

1577. A Realm Reborn. Luna trains under most battle-oriented guilds, desiring a mastery of every weapon. She has even enlisted in the Maelstrom (despite being a freelancer), hoping to be among the first to get her hands on a musket. She is wanted for several counts of thievery.

Combat

Dexterity and Speed - On account of being kind of shrimpy, Yuni relies on her agility and cat-like (ha) reflexes to evade, counter and conquer. She has quite a bit of stamina, allowing her to dip, dodge and duck her opponent's strikes for quite some time before wearing out. Even so, she is not the Flash can be incapacitated with a well-placed bop on the nose. See the trope Fragile Speedster below.

Deception and Manipulation - Inherent of her gender and the most deadly of her arsenal, Luna can screw with you in all sorts of ways... without you even knowing! She hopes, at least. Mind games.

Stealth - Other than wielding battle-instruments, this is Luna's favourite part. I mean, she ain't called "Skulk" for nothing, and darkness is her dearest friend.

Weapons - The key for Luna here is creativity. Sure, it's fun to snipe with a bow and lacerate with a knife, but Luna likes to makeshift her environment into equipment if possible. 'Cause there's nothing as priceless as the surprise in an opponent's face when you come at them with a clothing rack. (Much like the stunts of Jackie Chan! Har har.)

Eyes of a Killer - When her pupils dilate so much that black pools nearly engulf her irises, beware. The transition is sudden, but indicates a deadly purpose.

Miscellaneous

RUMORS Feel free to add nonsensical gossip of your own. ◢ Common Rumors (Easily overheard) ■ "For a Miqo'te, she's more clawy than cuddly..." - A dissatisfied adventurer. ■ "She's like one o' 'em will-o-th'-wisps. Follow 'er n' ye'll be'll led astray." - Limsan sailor missing an eye. ■ "Just be sure you tip her." Coincidentally, another fellow missing an eye - but his left, not his right. Not your left, his left. ■ "Want to know something hilarious? That Mirage-musclehead with a chip on her shoulders is also enrolled in the Thaumaturge's guild. *Shrill squeal* She can't even tell a book from front to back, let alone which way to hold a staff!" - Snooty noblegirls, gossiping. ◢ Moderate Rumors (Moderately difficult to overhear) ■ "She's dirty and stinks of milkroot. To think she's a forestborn, pah!" - Gridanian Wood Wailer. ■ "That colourful flyer in the tavern? Do as you will, but be warned: a pal of my friend's fiancé's cousin hired her and never came back from his journeying... Oh yeah, she's back. Came back wearing his hat." - Seller of exquisite cakes. ■ "Went on prattling about ninjas and samurai... What in the seven hells is a ninja anyroad?!" - Traveler who supposedly survived her company. ◢ Rare Rumors (Very difficult or rarely overheard) ■ "I 'eard she killeds a man with a miq'abob stick. Entrails, everywhere! Sos I 'ear, anyroad." - Some shady sleepyhead. ■ "She can breathe fire. I saw her, I did. And smoke wafted out her nose. Quarter dragon I imagine." Easily excitable old lady. ◢ PC Rumors (Rumors from the character's of other players) ■

Footnotes

TV Tropes: Evil is Cool Loveable Rogue Fragile Speedster Manic Pixie Dream Girl Curious As A Monkey

Luna is inspired by, and a mix of, the playful ninja from Samurai Warriors and little miss Rambo, Hit-Girl. For Luna, I would like a partnership or for her to work alongside someone - that is, someone (or an idea) worthy of her respect ('cause she's not into permanent things and digs freedom). Similar to how Kunoichi fights for Yukimara and Hit-Girl helps Kick-Ass. Up to negotiations, and would be a gradual companionship!

Basically just re-used my character template for Yuni Mbali, 'cause I'm lazy. Characters are essentially the same, I just wanted to entirely reroll.
