Appearance & Personality
Cessna has shoulder-length black hair, gold eyes, and fair skin -- her complexion owing to having spent more time indoors than out, despite hailing from the sunny ports of Limsa Lominsa. Her distinguishing feature is a small mole under her left eye. She is of average height, but appears rather diminutive in comparison to her two older brothers (it's become something of a sore point for her). Her default facial expressions tend to lean towards disinterested unless something piques her interest significantly, i.e. grilled fish.
Cessna is, by nature, cheerful and rather easygoing; she has a tendency to put things off for later, or end up not doing it at all, if she can't get herself motivated enough. (Once you get her going, however, it's difficult to shake her from what she's set her heart on doing.) One would think that growing up in the shadow of two older siblings -- both accomplished in their own rights -- would instill in the girl some sort of desire to prove herself equally as illustrious, but frankly, she's perfectly happy leaving the spotlight to her brothers. (Typical textbook example of an underachiever.) She also prefers to focus on one thing at a time, and feels that taking on several responsibilities all at once is an endeavour she'd rather not attempt for fear of getting not a single one of them done. She has an extremely strong sense of justice, but much remains to be said about her occasionally unorthodox methods of getting things done.
Fire excites her. She'd rather stay home than be out and about, but if adventure calls (and calls for a certain degree of mischief and Burning Things), it's not something she's wont to turn down. She loathes the idea of getting physically injured, however, and prefers to book it once the going gets too tough.
Biography
Cessna was born to fairly well-off merchant parents in the city-state of Limsa Lominsa. The youngest of three siblings, she spent most of her time keeping to herself at home, slowly consuming the family library little by little. This inclination for staying indoors was the result of a brief childhood affliction, which rendered her sensitive to excess sun exposure for a certain period of time. Despite the condition lasting rather briefly, it left Cessna wary of staying outside in the sun for too long -- a habit she's carried all the way to adulthood to some degree, despite being perfectly fine at the moment. (Her penchant for short, vicarious thrills, however, renders this particular habit null and void nine times out of ten once she gets her gears going.) Her older brothers Pascal (a dragoon) and Hellen (a paladin) are the pride and joy of the Forsythe name; Cessna is expected to follow in her brothers' footsteps and go off on grand adventures, making a name for herself like her brothers have, but she'd really rather stay (laze) at home and maybe help with the family shipping and mercantile trade. Her parents, however, are of an entirely different mind and express deep concern about their youngest's seeming lack of ambition.
Childhood
Cessna grew up in a household in want of nothing;
Teenage
When Cessna turned eighteen and showed little to no sign of wanting to pursue a specialization, preferring to read at home or while the hours away listening to the merchant sailors sharing colourful stories of their trade routes and various foibles, her parents decided it was time to do something about it. Using their daughter's love for knowledge as leverage, they convinced her to agree to studying thaumaturgy in the city-state of Ul'dah, nestled deep in the desert. Cessna was promptly shipped over to Ul'dah with little fuss, and began her training as a fledgling thaumaturge shortly after.
(Cessna knows perfectly well that her parents just want to see her start doing something with her life. Arguing would be fruitless and a waste of time, and what harm could there be in learning how to harness aetheric power? Besides, "deep introspection" didn't sound as taxing as the other more physical disciplines did.)
Present
Miscellaneous
Cessna, to her great chagrin, discovered a latent airsickness upon riding her first airship to Gridania; any and all of her excitement for the novelty of air travel was quickly thrown aside in a scramble for the sickbag.
