Fourier Vaillant
Contents
Character
General
The daughter of one of the great families of Gridania, Fourier has experienced rather little of the world on a whole. This has given her a rather sheltered and naive view on life, which, while pleasant and somewhat refreshing, tends to get her and the people around her in trouble. Her two older brothers, disdainful of the Wildwood Elezen's haughty ways, have both washed their hands of the family and made their fortunes on sea and land, leaving Fourier as the sole representative of the Vaillant family's next generation. She left home with the intention of becoming an adventurer like her brothers and never returning, but after many trials and tribulations, saw fit to return once again-- and took on the mantle of the next Vaillant family head.
Appearance
Fourier is only 6'2", a relatively small height for an Elezen, and blessed with soft features that sets most people she meets at ease. Her hair is cut very short and adorned with a number of hairclips to keep it out of her eyes. Her eyes are pale green, a staple for the general look of her family, and her hair is a strawberry blonde. Compared to the rest of her, her chest is rather large, and something she's somewhat self conscious of.
Personality
Fourier is endlessly positive and optimistic despite some of the less than ideal situations she is faced with. Although her age leads her to come off as rather immature and irresponsible, she has an innate need to help others and make the world a friendlier place. Being the only daughter of her family and only child left after her brothers' emancipation, she's somewhat spoiled and subconsciously finds herself thinking that she's entitled to the attention of others. She usually tries to act rebellious, however when push comes to shove, she will carry out her duty as she needs to.
Combat
General
Like most Elezen nobility, Fourier was trained from a very young age in the use of the traditional longbow. However, seeking to follow her pacifistic nature, Fourier took up the art of conjury and became a rather talented healer. Since multiple run ins with Garleans and a particularly nasty voidsent however, she has picked back up use of the bow and demonstrates the skill with it one would expect of a Wildwood. To aid her in combat, she applies the natural magic she learned from her studying of conjury to guide her arrows and trap enemies.

History/Timeline
The Vaillants were once one of the most distinguished families of Gridania, the current matriarch bearing three healthy children who were set in to continue the family line for the forseeable future. However, after many less than ethical actions by their parents, both of the eldest brothers of the family willfully emancipated themselves from luxury and riches to find their own fortunes, leaving the youngest and only daughter of the family to represent Vaillant's hopes for the future. Fourier was raised as most young noble girls were, taught to shoot a bow from the tender age of 6 and trained in other gentle arts such as sewing and music. She was as obedient as could be until her sixteenth nameday, upon which her mother proudly announced Fourier's arranged marriage with a boy from the most powerful family of the time, the Leucaiouxs. Distraught, but nonetheless trying to please her parents, she attended a huge spring Gala arm in arm with her betrothed. The evening went smoothly until the staged proposal at the end of the event, at which point she declined the boy's proposal and fled the scene. Too ashamed and scared of her parents' judgement to return, she stole what gil she could from the family coffers and bought passage to Ul'dah. It was in Thanalan that she met her current party, a Keeper named Dani, a Seeker named C'asir, and a Hyur named Raulin. She has traveled with them ever since, and as the saying goes, the rest is history.
