History

Pre-coma

-This will update as her personal storyline progresses. Don't want to give out all the details.-

Ramona Spencer, a Black Mage who joined an outfit of Sellswords for reasons yet unknown to her. The heiress at the wrong place at the wrong time doing the wrong thing. After all, it was because of a soulstone in her possession that she had brutally eliminated the entire outfit in a dire attempt to save them or she'd like to believe. How did the soulstone come to her? She could ask the same thing, it was passed to her by someone. Who? She doesn't know too. It was supposed to be a routine security contract. Researchers wanted someone to clear out the Wanderer's Palace for cheap. Their nameless and unrenowned outfit needed a way to boost their renown. It worked favorably for both of parties. Until it didn't.

The ruins themselves possessed traps that incapacitated most of the outfit. Pragmatism bid them withdraw and plan. Desperation and a deadline bid them forward and weather whatever storm is thrown their way. Desperation won. So they did forge on, facing tonberry and a number of wild animals that called the ruins home, carrying the wounded all the while. Their outfit's creed demanded no one left behind unless they are well and truly dead. Their creed would also influence Ramona in a desperate act that she believes was born out of the sense to protect rather than the opportunistic envy in her that saw a convenient way to end an obstacle and pass it off as an unfortunate casualty.

The fundamental flaw in their composition was that they lacked anyone with knowledge of such places or aetherical expertise in general. Ramona then was still a fledgling Black Mage who had no idea she was a Black Mage, though her aether was remarkable it was useless when all she could produce were explosions. She was only an impressionable girl at the young age of 20 when she joined them. Hardly a master of aether. Just a girl with too much of it. More to the point she was only ever interested in calling down lightning, freezing things in place, and making the whole world go boom.

In the end, the stone whispered to her of a magic that was otherwise forbidden but would assuredly save her friends. If she was up to the challenge. A spell by the name Meteor. Just as desperation fueled their outfit to rage on, so too did desperation force Ramona to gamble. What the stone did not reveal to her was that she needed immense aether to produce such a spell. Aether she would unwittingly siphon from her own companions to fuel to botched spell. She saw a fraction of the meteor slip past the clouds before it exploded before it's time. The aetherical recoil fragmented her memories and has since then made her aether chaotic. She could still produce the explosions that entertained her but there was always something off about every little spell she did, and every little time she channeled her aether. Of course the Shockwave from the blast itself had thrown her a few yalms through a stone pillar.

The last thing she remembered were the bleached bones of her companions rising again. Somehow she had not just killed all 23 of them but desecrated their deaths. After that she had fallen to her long slumber. Half a year later was when she would reawaken.

The stone itself supposedly fractured as she failed her spell. The shards scattered into the wind, resonating and calling to her, one shard at a time. The shard found at the Nymian ruins had given her the reason why she had slept for so long. As well as pointed her to what she assumed was Amdapor Keep for the second shard, where instead she had found a set of robes that simply felt right on her and has since claimed it for her own, threading a story for it. The Second shard is yet to be found while the first lies the possession of Professor Jigumundo Darkbore. It is unknown just how many shards there are but it is clear they call to her one at a time.

Personality

Of course her personality was bound to change when she learned just what she did that led to her coma and then what happened after.

First and foremost is how, despite having an ego the size of Dalamud, she tries not to be close to others. Furthermore how she's relying on her sharp tongued responses to push people away much to her dismay as it never seems to work only draws them closer. On the upside she's not entirely sure about this at all since she's only met a handful of people ever since the first trigger brought a fraction of memories back and the incident at Amdapor Keep. She was very antisocial after learning about her past but through the insistence of a few people she's making some effort into being more and more of her old self. Even if it is just a plastic facade for now.

Despite all that, she still can't bring herself to just let someone lost be lost. Case and point she had offered to help a certain miqo'te find her way to Summerford Farms. Perhaps it was brought upon by some unconscious desire to redeem herself but she has been a little less selfish and a little more open with her hands when it comes to people asking for help or looking for it. That's one of the marked changes in her demeanor, of course the people she owes money to probably wouldn't care at all.

However, some things will never change and for Ramona it's how she's always been an opportunist at heart and how she's still swayed by gil, not as much as before but the clink can still change her mind. That and her huge ego built up from evading debt collectors and loan shark types. Even with her past come back to haunt her she still finds time to break into a free run across Ul'dah's alleyways to avoid some particularly nasty brutes who'd break her in two if they found out she's a few thousand gil short of the debt. Black Mage or no, there are some things more exciting than incinerating them outright or leeching them dry of aether then gut them.

She still also retains her respect for the working class. Anyone who can't earn a crust doesn't deserve to eat after all.
