APPEARANCE

GENERAL APPEARANCE: Tall and lanky, Adelise could be described as tall for a Hyur and far too short for an Elezen, by average standards. Skin on the paler side with her cheeks rosy from what times she did spend in the sun, Adelise considers herself perfectly balanced despite her mixed blood. Along with such, her brown hair is almost abnormally long, reaching just a bit past her waist. She is rarely ever seen without it braided or tied in some fashion. While often mistaken for simply red due to the warm tones, Adelise’s eye are actually brown with sectoral heterochromia, in which the ruby shades make up parts of her irises.

Adelise’s ears are pointed, a feature of her Elezen blood.

---

SCARS & MARKINGS: Just above her lip on the left side of her face, is a simple beauty mark. On her left eyebrow is a vertical scar along the tip. There are various other small scars that mark her body, most of which are faded. Along her abdomen is gruesome scar that covers the vast expanse of her belly. Over the bicep of her left arm is the remnants of a bullet scar.

---

VOICE: Adelise has an alto vocal range, surprisingly mature despite her younger age. Her timbre is on the rougher side, yet still retains a certain honey-coated quality to it that makes it pleasant on the ears. Due to her knowing of multiple languages, the young woman speaks with an accent; emotion-wise, the young woman is very monotonous, often sounding neutral or even annoyed to most when speaking because of this. This tone changes depending on who she is around and her closeness to said person. She generally comes off as cold due to her voice; speaking loud and with command, but never lacks the eloquence of a well taught young-lady.

Adelise enjoys singing, her voice the right quality for it to be considered enjoyable to listen to.

The best example of her voice can be found here.

---

ATTIRE: While wearing what is deemed appropriate by weather standards, she will always try and dress relatively conservative and will always prefer trousers over skirts, mostly for convenience sake. Despite this fact, and her typically neutral mood, Adelise is almost secretly a fan of feminine clothing. To a certain degree. While not open about her like for such appearances, so much can be seen in her frilly ornate outfits and their soft tones when given the chance to don such.

PERSONALITY

"I will show you what true fury looks like."

---

Easily described as typically dour and otherwise monotonous, Adelise is the walking embodiment of focus and ambition. At purely face value, it would appear to most her only emotions are disinterest and irritation. Hard to sway from the path she sets before herself, the girl is all work and no play… mostly. While almost uncomfortably serious during most of all interaction with anyone not considered close to her, people who spend enough time digging through those thorns might find a surprisingly curious and playful young woman. Holding a great desire for knowledge gaining, a love for music and the arts, Adelise may be on the grouchier side but she is far from a mean or boring individual.

While her expression typically offers a different narrative, Adelise is a tough loving sort of woman; caring quite deeply over the safety and care of most people and animals, if not through a more forward approach. One aspect of Adelise that can often seep through even her more crankier displays is her stubborn pride. Such hubris, typically in her abilities, has more often than not caused her more issues then she might care to admit. While the girl always means well, she has a tendency of pushing both herself and others too far.

The Half-Elezen is rather devoted to her divine studies, dedicating a great deal of her studies to the Twelve while prioritizing the teachings of her patron deity, Halone. To the young woman, worshipping the gods is not enough, it is nothing. Her ambition leads her down the path of embodying the very being of the Fury.

Adelise is a younger woman of surprising martial prowess. Having trained from a very young age to wield a variety of weaponry, she excels in physical combat. Above all else, Adelise has dedicated most of her time alive to wielding a polearm, to follow in the image of her goddess, Halone. The Half-Elezen is powerful as she is fierce. There is not a day that passes that she does not dedicate some of her time to training her body and keeping fit.

A healthy body however, calls too for a healthy mind. Diplomatic, well spoken, and rounded in the art of strategy from years of pouring over countless texts, Adelise knows how to talk war, nearly as much as she knows how to plan for it. Text however, can vary greatly from the real thing. While well versed in her readings, it is not to say the fear of falling short of perfection has not, or cannot lead to the young woman's downfall from time to time.

While fit as a fiddle, considering her past health and well instructed, Adelise still suffers greatly in the field of magic. Past illness makes it difficult for her not only to cast magic, but to receive healing from it as well. Thus making any injury she might receive on a battlefield, a liability. While her training in becoming a Dragoon has forced her to put more effort into her practice with aether, it is still her weakest point both offensively and defensively.

WEAPONRY

Misericorde
A single, long ornate dagger Adelise keeps on her person at all times. She is not keen on ever being completely weaponless.

Nameless Polearm
Adelise's current spear since returning to the mainland. Despite having yet to name it, nor acquiring it by any special means, her lance does hold value to her. She always keeps it finely sharpened, and bound in leather during spars.

PORTABLE INVENTORY - SATCHEL

Worn Red Leather Journal
Adelise's journal. Anyone who might happen to get it cracked open, will find the entirety of it written in some odd language that most will be unable to understand. Certain pages have flowers pressed into them.

Coin Purse
Adelise's coin purse. The woman is particularly frugal, so her pouch is seemingly always jingling with gil. She finds little need to purchase things outside of necessity or gift for others, and therefore typically has money on hand.

Used Books
Usually a tome containing some language of the sorts. Adelise enjoys the learning of a variety of languages, and therefore will keep at least one textbook at her if her satchel is on her. Sometimes it might be something more leisurely, but such a thing is unlikely.

Numerous Potions
Multiple potions given to her for safe-keeping. Adelise need carry potions with her as she finds healing by magic means to be difficult on her body.

WARDROBE

These items are assumed to always be on Adelise's person. Feel free to use them as hooks if so pleased.

Eternal Bonding Ring
Adelise's engagement ring, given to her by her partner, Killian. A bright silver band lined with rubies and diamonds with a larger diamond center. Etched along the inside of the band are the symbols of the Twelve. She wears it on her at all times, unless donning armour. Even then, she typically has it either tied around her neck, or safely tucked away somewhere on her figure.

Aspected Crystal Bracelet
Gift from Killian. Small pieces of carved crystals in the shapes of crudely made flowers and leaves. Shimmers in the light.

Hikari Inamoto - Menphina - ♦ ●
Found wandering about in the muds of South Shroud's Camp Tranquil, Adelise and Denz sought out Hikari due to her involvement with Guillemont, who had gone missing. Noticing a certain resolve and strength within the woman, Adelise found herself drawn to Hikari’s loving nature, wanting to be a hand to help support the Highlander in her endeavours. Returning her back to the estate to be washed up and redressed, in time Hikari found herself a place within the House. Denz took Hikari under his wing in teaching her how to use a greatsword. After an alarming incident reached Adelise’s ears, one that great differed from the Hikari she knew, Adelise found herself growing fearful of both what Hikari might become and her cousins methods. Given the time to brood over such thoughts, Adelise eventually came to terms with trusting the woman. While she may not ever be able to fully trust Denz, she did not want to be one to enable brewing feelings of insecurity within her new friend.

I want to help for things to be better after the fact.” "G...gweeeooheeeohhweeeoh..." -Imitating the sound of a Kongamato
⚠ Past Relation Show text Hikari was one of the first few people Hestia met when she was young. Being a close friend of Guillemont’s, and someone that Carina trusted, she was on occasion asked to babysit Hestia.

Killian Waltz - Azeyma - ❤️🌷 ●
Having met the man in Carline Canopy where she inquired to him about employment, the two have since had many interactions that led them down a path of many twists and turns. Killian is probably one of the few people Adelise has ever willingly put her guard down for after such a short period of time. His personality offered her nothing short of comfort and endearment, as she saw a pure light within him that reminded her why she fought for what she did, regardless of the issues that plague him. Over time the two grew very close, and while Adelise tried to subdue the growing feelings she held for the Hyur, it reached a boiling point after some long periods of loneliness had her confide in him for comforting. After some heartbreak and plenty of complication, Adelise agreed to being courted by Killian. Despite what her reluctance initially might have entailed, she loves the man dearly, and would do anything to keep him safe and happy. The two raise two puppies together named Mercy and Summer.

In that hallucination, that everything that happened was because I wasn't good enough, and I'm...trying to get it out of my head, but it's...everything I already feared. Not you dying, but...I can conjure air. I could have redirected it upward. I know spells to cleanse the body of poison, I could have done that. There were things I could have done." "I love you. I'm sorry that complicated so much, but I do." "I don't know if I feel grateful for being blind or sick or...whatever else is wrong with me. I don't think I'm grateful that you were sick, either...but mostly...maybe it's true you wouldn't be here if you hadn't been born sick, but we don't know if that's true for me. It...it doesn't matter, though. If I had to choose...between being healthy, being able to see, or having you, I would choose you. I love you so much."

Lawrence Wallace - Nald'Thal - ♦ ●
Asked to be referred to as Law, he is a younger Elezen man Adelise found wandering about near Camp Tranquil. Warning him of the potential dangers of Morbols, she questioned Lawrence as to his reasons for being out there. After explaining he was working outside the law to search for a criminal, Adelise was swift to accuse him of being a vigilante, berating him some on his choices. The two almost immediately hit if off heatedly, them bickering at one another for some time before Adelise simply ended the conversation on a moral dilemma for Law to come to terms with on his own time, insisting that he come to her when he came to terms with the world he wanted to see made. Law is a zealous man, set in his ways and views good and evil as black and white. While this sort of mindset doesn’t particularly appeal to Adelise, she see’s that he is a man of virtue and compassion who seeks to right the wrongs of the world they live in. Similar to herself and her own ambition. Something that differs from herself however, is that of Law's drops into self-doubt and fear. Often rather nervous when not focused and easy to rattle, she find this particular part of him a curious weakness. Since their meeting, the man comes to visit her often, discussing his philosophies and seeking her aid. He has agreed to be an ally of hers, and thus she depends on him for his help, offering her own in return when needed. While the two can be heated with one another, Adelise finds Law to be an honest confide.

Quotes "I needed you to say it. To hear that you are willing to do what must be done in the name of your vision. That you are willing to act, not just speak words of dreams and visions as many are willing to resign themselves to. Whether you weep or not for those souls is no concern of mine, I wanted to know if...I am told I trust too easily those who display a passion for justice similar to my own. I wanted to know if I could trust you to act. If that is the case, I will offer my arm in aid." "...you call me your Nald'Thal, so you should know that above all, balance is needed. I will embrace what darkness lies in my heart, so long as I can use it to protect the innocent. To keep the wicked suppressed, and to see the righteous prevail. If you would be the shining beacon of Halone, I would be the darkened gates of Nald'Thal, the one that delves the darkness so others don't have to." "Very well. Just as I keep you from soaring too high in your own ideals, so shall you prevent me from falling. A fair agreement."

Lendroit Gatineaux - Oschon - ♦ ●
Having introduced himself to her as simply Lenny, he is a young Duskwight Adelise happened upon during one of her many wanderings into Carline Canopy. Striking conversation with him out of curiosity mostly, the two found pleasant enough company with one another. Wanderlusting over adventure he had never tasted, Adelise pushed the man to pursue his desires to leave the Shroud and find his place in the world, insisting he return to share epic stories of his ventures through song. Lenny is often self-deprecating due to the nature of his kin, something Adelise finds little to know pleasure in dealing with. In time, the man came to understand the Half-Elezen’s wild ambition, if even to some mild degree. To Adelise, Lenny is the Oschon to her Halone, an ally she believes will help her accomplish great things. Recent events brought a shift in the duo's relationship, and while it was certainly a divide between them, tears of all kinds can be mended. Made to be stronger than the first.

Siovant Gascogne - Althyk - 💔 ♦ ●
A suave and ruthless Elezen man that was both Adelise's comrade and fiancé, Siovant is easily one of the most important people in the young woman's life. While typically driven away at the sheer idea of courtship, the young Half-Elezen considered Siovant to be her closest confide upon her return to the mainland. As handsome as he is intelligent, Adelise found herself initially drawn to neither, as much as she revered the man's physical prowess and draconian nature. While the two do not always see eye-to-eye on certain social or religious matters, the strength of their devotion was hardly wavered even in light of disagreements, as both make large strides in understanding and indulging one another. After some large periods of time apart, Adelise grew lonely in her lovers absence. She was often comforted by her close friend Killian, who had to see her fall into these bouts of depression on more than one occasion. One evening that comforting grew too heated for the both of them, and they were found out in their mourning by Siovant himself. The situation left Adelise and Siovant with a broken heart, and Killian some broken ribs. The two after some time are on talking terms. Siovant calls Adelise via her linkpearl to tell her all about his latest adventures. The two have a cat together named Tartare, that in which Siovant took with him when he left.

⚠ Past Relation Show text Hestia first met Siovant when attending a cat-cafe event with her family. While initially simply put off by the new strange face her mother and father acted casually around, she was quick to find herself flustered as he acknowledged her staring with a glance of his own. Finally working up the courage to interact, she was met with nothing but sweetness, despite her rather obvious attraction, sharing with her a tale of his time within a troupe and catching fish. She often tried to see Siovant again, accompanying her family in the hopes he would be wherever they were headed. Being able to spend time with him on an afternoon of dueling with the House, Hestia made the Elezen a flower crown to wear, him only furthering her affections by responding positively to her gesture. It was innocent, and it was a memory that never left the girl for all the turns she was away from home. In some of her darker moments, she was often reminded of the gentle man with the golden eyes, one whom she wished to return to see again.

FAMILY

Aegisan De'bayle - ⚑ ⚯ ●
The latest addition to the De'bayle household. Aegisan Corbin De'bayle is the second child of the Count and Countess. Adelise seems particularly fond toward the child, often watching it and caring for it. She holds a very adamant self-imposed duty of protecting the baby.

Armont De'bayle - ⚯ ●

Count of House De’bayle. Adelise held a great deal of respect for the man, and was rather willful to learn the art of being a Dragoon under him. In her time returned, the two have unfortunately seen very little of one another, due to the mans constant absence in the north for duties. Despite understanding the situation, this leaves Adelise bitter. Her ambition of becoming a Knights-Dragoon slowed and the Countess of the House typically left to her lonesome. While she does not hate Armont for this, some part of her is left disappointed. Spar score: 0-1 ⚠ Past Relation Show text Being Hestia's father, the girl loved the man with every part of her being. He was her role-model, and someone she even wished to marry someday (through the obviously innocent lens of a small child). When her mother wasn't looking, the man would sneak his little girl cocoa to make her day even just a little more special; a notion that she held close to her for turns to come. Armont also brought his daughter a black cat named Emerald, that in which she was very close with.

Astrelle De'bayle - ⚯ ♦ ●

Of all of Adelise’s family, she is by far the closest with Astrelle. Baroness of the House and twin sister to Guillemont, Adelise finds she and the middle sister have a great deal in common with one another. Bothing have a strong will and a desire to build their own path outside the consent of their family, Adelise has found herself on a few occasions sitting for bells with Astrelle and talking about things she might not otherwise share with anyone else. Adelise and Astrelle have very similar personalities, offering a very cold visage to most while having a surprisingly warm center. The youngest De’bayle admires the middle sister, finding comfort in the woman being one of the few female friends she has. ⚠ Past Relation Show text Astrelle is Hestia’s only biological aunt. Out of all her family members, Hestia had the least interactions with Astrelle, due to the short while after the woman's arrival before Hestia was set to leave. Even with their small relationship, it was clear Astrelle held her niece fondly in her heart, as on her first day returned, she spent the evening sleeping beside the little girl.

Carina De'bayle - ? ●

Countess of House De’bayle. Adelise’s respect for the Lady of the house holds no bounds. Even the slightest mention of Carina's struggles set the young woman off in an uncharacteristic tangent on the scarred Hyur's bravery. The two seem to be close, as close as they can be for having known each other for such a short time. Adelise heavily empathizes with Carina's traumas, and inspires to be as strong a figure as the woman someday. ⚠ Past Relation Show text Carina is Hestia's mother. Out of all the family members in her life, the girl spent the most time with and possibly had the closest relationship with before her departure. Her mother was her teacher, her friend, and always helped her through the hard parts in life. Like Hestia’s father, Carina protected her daughter with her life, and she protected her from everything, even the nightmares that could come and spook her in the evening. Hestia could often catch her mother at times in a depressed state, without the older woman knowing. These moments caused Hestia to grow very protective of her mother, promising to find a way to make her happy forever.

Denz De'bayle - ⚯ ≈

Viscount of House De’bayle. Denz’s initial response to Adelise’s arrival home was mostly that of shock; having not expected there to be another De’bayle that he was unaware of. Since her eventual promotion to Viscountess of the House as well, Adelise and Denz have found themselves both as confidants of one another and at eachothers throats. While it is clear that Denz views the girl through a jaded perspective of the world, seeing her ambition as far too wild to contain, Adelise see’s her cousin as a coward. Someone who would rather remain silent and ignorant than stand up for the good of the world. All in all, Adelise finds herself disappointed with Denz, seeing that he easily falls prey to the weakness of the the heart. A shame to her, as she see’s the man is capable of far more than he believes. Spar Score Adelise: 0 | Denz: 1 ⚠ Past Relation Show text Denz is Hestia's youngest uncle. Having spent time with him and his partner Jancis at the woman's home on occasion, the girl quite enjoyed the times she could visit them. Her fondest memories of Denz, were that of their play fights. She always seemed to win them, peculiarly.

Guillemont De'bayle - ⚯ ●

The first of her family to meet after her return from her travels, Guillemont welcomed Adelise back with a warm welcome despite the girl's initial confusion as to who he even was. The two have since seen very little of one another outside of simple greetings when seen about the estate. ⚠ Past RelationShow text Guillemont is Hestia’s middle uncle. The two had a rather close relationship while the girl was growing up. The man often enjoyed sharing fun or spooky stories with the little girl, he bestowed upon her many of her favourite stuffed plushes, one being Big-Eye. She was often told stories of Big-Eye from Guillemont, under the guise that the ahriman might be an actual entity. Though such things were more than likely tales to simply rattle the girl.

Jancis Milburga - ⛓ ●

A kind conjurer, and wife of Denz. Adelise’s initial views of Jancis were nothing but positive. However, as the two interacted more, the young woman found herself feeling mixed about Jancis and the presence the woman has in her life. Far too dedicated to her focus at hand, Adelise finds it difficult to find comfort in the memories Jancis wishes to share with her. Even more so, that she understands and accepts that she disappoints the Hyur by not holding to the same De’bayle spirit she might wish to see in her. As time passed, Adelise was able to grow more comfortable with Jancis' presence, and the maternal influence she wished to offer. Jancis was present during Aegisan's birth, offering comfort to the girl during her otherwise panicking state. ⚠ Past Relation Show text Jancis could more or less have been considered an aunt to Hestia. Having spent many nights and days visiting the woman and her Uncle, Denz, Hestia also shared in some personal moments in which she confided in Jancis over her own fears. It was clear, that Hestia loved Jancis dearly and wished to be someone who could also protect her. Jancis was another that Hestia reminisced on in her time away, sorrowful that she would no longer be the same person the woman once knew.

Alleria Surlaint - ●

Knight of House De’bayle, Adelise finds Alleria to be a particularly odd woman. Her kind face matches her equally kind personality, and yet the woman worked under them as a knight. Having gotten a moment to question Alleria as to her reasoning's for picking up her blade and fighting, Adelise was left thoroughly disappointed with the woman’s lack of true ambition. Alleria eventually returned with a more firm vision to Adelise, but to the young Half-Elezen, a vision is only as meaningful as the force behind it. She hopes to have had ignited the idea within the Elezen woman, as that flame will be the driving force that will get the woman over the hurdle of becoming the House’s Knight Captain. Perhaps even more.

Dalmar Ferrera - ♦ ●
There is one thing that Adelise is certain of Dalmar, since their chance meeting in the Canopy, and that is that he is by far one of the goofiest men she has ever met. Beaming with surprising enthusiasm, Adelise made a quick friend in the ruffian-wannabe. She worries for Dalmar, who often doesn't take care of himself or think highly of himself, or even gets himself stuck in the wrong crowd. Sometimes acting more mother-like to the man than she probably should, she tries to see that he is cared for, even if he makes a stink of it each time. Adelise is fond of him and his antics, despite thinking he can be up to no good at times, and hopes he finds a friend in her as she does in him.

Hitokiri - ⚖ ♦ ●

Adelise’s long time instructor and one of her guardians. The man is strict as he was often times gloomy. Reluctantly taking the girl under his wing in the beginning, at the insistent request of Serick and by letter of her mother, their beginning turns were rocky ones. His training on such a young girl could be potentially be deemed as cruel or unfair for someone who was of her stature, but despite this he is a pivotal reason in Adelise’s growth. Over time, the two warmed up to one another through small gestures, and what started out a cold relationship the held tensions between both sides for different reasons, became a genuine friendship. At least as much of a relationship as Hito could have with a person. The mans dour persona rubbed off on the girl some, and in their time together Adelise learned many things about the man. Even in his attempts at keeping his personal life, his past, to himself. Hito is one of the people Adelise respects the most in her life, and while she can often seem ungrateul over his methods, knows she would be nowhere without them. She hopes to the man, that she was able to be the successful pupil she learned he always wanted. While the girl might never admit it, she is fully of the understanding that she might never get to see Hito again. While such an idea is devastating to her, she would never openly display such.

Jebe Qestir - ♦ ●

A mute Xaela man Adelise approached during the Golden Gala. While obviously the two have shared very little words with one another, in fact, none at all - Adelise finds Jebe to be a kind man with a welcoming presence. Adelise knows just about nothing on the man, but despite this has invited him already to join her group when visiting one of the Twelve stones. She is interested in the way he conducts himself, the sort of language he uses to communicate. She is also curious of his culture, as she has never known an Au Ra well before him.

Lucrece Vaurtefort - ●

A noblewoman and de facto leader of the Black Sun Covenant after the death of Father Isarn. Adelise and Lucrece’s only interactions were really only on a walk they took with one another after the Stalwarts’ dinner. Having shown a great interest in the younger De’bayle, it was then an inebriated Adelise discussed her beliefs with the older Elezen woman, the two coming to a respectable middle-ground of sharing the same desires. Lucrece fueled Adelise’s fire, one the Elezen woman claimed to have once upon a time when she too was Adelise’s age. Presumably not wanting the Half-Elezen to become jaded with the pessimistic idea’s of those around her, the Elezen promotes the girls rather hefty ambition, something Adelise feeds into a great deal. Lucrece is seen as someone Adelise would turn to in support of her future ambitions.

RUMORS

Some of these rumors are untrue, speculation, or are greatly exaggerated. Please feel free to add your own rumors under the Player Character category! Any PC rumours marked red are considered rare, and will need permission from the gossiper or player before usage.

COMMON RUMORS - Easily overheard. Use these freely!

■ “How many of them damn De'bayle's are there?! The girl's a new one but at least she's approachable. Well, as approachable as them Elezen folk can be, 'suppose.” - Ul'Dahn Traveler

■ “That Adelise woman has a stare that could pierce your heart. And not in a good way either. One that sends a death rattle through your bones. She comes here often; while she may be a looker, I would not stare too long.” - Isghardian Scholasticate Student

■ “Somewhat lanky girl? The one with the marking on her forehead, yeah? Those De'bayle's seem to make face here quite a bit as of late. I see her around, typically escorting that one blind lad who is constantly coming in here. Poor lass, getting herself involved with a sorry sod like that.” - Carline Canopy Regular

UNCOMMON RUMORS - A little more difficult to hear. Use sparingly or ask first!

■ “Lady Adelise is extremely well mannered, despite her often times apparent rebellious behaviour, it is often surprising how much she differs from her cousins.” - Madame Celeste, Estate Employee

■ “I sometimes see her about with a little blue lizard, or Wyvern or something. Aren't those things heretical in the Holy See?”- Gridanian Citizen

RARE RUMORS - Very rarely overheard. Please ask before using!

■ “Lady Adelise's arrival is a curious one indeed. I find it particularly peculiar that after the disappearance of our smallest lady, this distant cousin would make surface. Do I think Lady Adelise know's of the youngest daughters disappearance? Well, even with her polite persona, I cannot say I am not suspicious of her intent. I believe her presence is to take her cousins title of Count, starting with his lineage. When considering Lord Ceonix's behaviour toward Count De'bayle, I can hardly be surprised. However, you did not hear that from me.” - Anonymous Manservant

■“A woman with a brand on her forehead? Ah yes, the half-breed. She came here some moons ago. Offering me the fingers of a Duskwight to bless. She seemed rather devouted to doing the Twelves work. I can hardly say I was displeased by such, but one cannot help but fear such strong zealotry. If even to a minor degree.”- Oschon Priest

PLAYER CHARACTER RUMORS - Feel free to add rumors of your own!

■ "Don't fuck with her." - Serick Aster

■ "Adelise? She's..." He pauses for a moment, brushing a strand of hair out of his face as he thinks of how to respond. "I can't say I know anyone else quite like her, you know? She's got a lot of potential, and the drive to make the most of it." A quiet chuckle. "I want to be there, to see what she does, you know?" - Lendroit Gatineaux

■ "A truly vexing woman. Her stubbornness is matched only by her ferocity. A fine ally, and one who I would not want to see turned enemy." - Lawrence Wallace

■ "Pride. Honor. Fury. Look upon the faces of her parents, and you will see their qualities exemplified in their child. All of their good and... certainly some of their flaws, she is truly a De'bayle. She has a desire in her, a path to follow; One she carves out with a righteous fire. I pray she does not lose sight of the world around her in her mission... Then again, her father and I were not so different from her, in our youth." - Denz De'bayle

■ "She's...kind, and understanding, and patient. She always smells like orange blossoms. She sees me...she sees me. Not my weakness. ... She's a friend. I don't have many of those." - Killian Waltz

■ "I doubt you'd be able to find a woman quite as ferocious and protective as her. She would do anything for the people she loves. And she has helped me to understand why wolves howl at the moon." -Siovant Gascogne

■ "Adelise...? Mmm. She is quite the strange girl. Hard-headed, distant, idealistic. But... she is also strong, and has been through so much. Protective... intimidating. Yes... quite like a dragon, I would say." -Carina De'bayle

■ "She is so sweet, can see it with how stern she is. I think about her a lot. She is very strong. Wants to protect the whole world and carry it all herself. Bundle it all in her arms and heft it, fingers unable to touch, and carry it everywhere on her own. Even people she loves and love her; pick them all up. It puts her in a lot of danger. I always want to keep an eye on her, even though I cannot. I do trust her; it is not that. I want her to live a very long time. She gave me the most beautiful handkerchief. Forgive me, I am rambling on." -Jancis Milburga

The First - Entry 1

My first namesday was… well forgettable in all of its entirety. I only know of it from mine own writings and the words of Serick who wished to document my life for me. I have been told to refrain from speaking of There. It is foreign, out of the comprehension of those here. Understandable, if not even somewhat sad. The tales of my adventures will be limited, limited to these pages. For the sake of those who may be confused, or might read these journals and wish to know of this place, I fear it is not in my place to disclose. I can not bring upon comprehension to the minds closed. Only seeing is enough to allow for others to believe, a subject I understand. This location will be simply referred to as ‘There’ for the sake of avoiding such feelings. I hope anyone reading might come to understand my feelings in regards to this. Back on topic. My first namesday is one that I on my own cannot remember, as I was after all technically only a turn old. Technically. There are quite a few technicalities revolving around my life, though again perhaps it is better I do not go into far too much details regarding that. It had been, though a few moons after my arrival and my first real memory with being at Hito’s side. At the time of our arrival back at his home, after suns of attempting to even get the man to agree to helping care for me. I cannot deny, I was scornful. My mother had made him out to be a hero, to be a man she would put not only her own life, but my own as well. And he had rejected me, spoke of my life meaning nothing. I was rightfully hurt. I had not wanted to speak to him, or even spend time with a man who would do such a thing, even if he did in time cave to the requests of my mother. I did remember watching his face when he opened her letter. I did not know of its contents, I knew nothing of their relationship with one another. His face remained expressionless, but his eyes. No matter how hard he tried to dismiss it, the emotion that bled through them was impossible to miss amidst the dull nature of his typical persona. Like colour within the grey and dreary. Colour that held pain. Perhaps it was the letter, that pushed him. That made him reconsider. It did not forgive him though, for his harsh words. On that day though something changed. Only Serick knew of that date, came back from one of his earlier ventures to bring me a gift. A leatherbound book for practicing my letters. I was quite fond of it. Within my room, given to me by Hito, I relaxed for that evening with my new book. Writing down my scribbled writings, the only memories I had of that day. It was only a few bells after dusk, when I heard a knock upon my door. Calling to the only person I knew it to be to come in, Hito entered into the room. The same straight expression laced over his face, never-changing, always dour. Approaching me, he set down a thick book before me, lacking wrapping of any sort but clearly meant as a gift. Azure eyes glancing toward me, he’d nod once before turning and leaving the room. The book was a history book, the history of there. I am sure at the time, most of the words were far outside my comfort zone of understanding. That book though, became essential into helping build the world around me, build my knowledge of not only There, but of myself. My ability to read, write. I do not think he knew how important it was to me, or if Serick knew how important that journal was. Perhaps they never will.

Eorzean Alliance: Feats of Ala Mhigo's Liberation

Kale Aideron: "Adelise De'bayle, front 'nd centre!" Adelise De'bayle takes a deep breath as she hears her name called, raising her head and marching forward toward Kale. Kale Aideron gives you a Flame salute. Kale Aideron: "Adelise De'bayle! You are amongst the younger soldiers in our joint regiment, but you 'ave defied your so-called 'superiors' in age by fightin' like a twenty-summer veteran. Your great feat, certainly, was witnessed by many. The mysterious brood of Shinryu we faced we 'ave come to call a Hakkinryu. Your feat rivallin' that of the great Ishgardian Dragoons was most certainly recognized by that order. Adelise De'bayle!" "The Order of the Twin Adder recognizes the service of House De'bayle, and awards you with 'the Ironwood Leaf' [★★★]! Henceforth, you shall be known to the Eorzean Alliance as Adelise the Hakkinslayer." Adelise De'bayle tenses proudly, dipping her head in a nod, "an honour Ser," she bows toward the man. Kale Aideron gives you a Flame salute. Aghurlal Qar-akimusun murmurs to himself. "Bloody 'ell, ye really did face dragons, ey..." Astrelle De'bayle: "Well done, Viscountess." Astrelle offers Adelise a smile before turning her gaze forward. Adelise De'bayle lightens for once, looking toward Astrelle with a fleeting beam. "Thank you."

Personal RP Limitations

Expand for more Details

■ I WILL PLAY ■ ✓ Long-term Roleplay. ✓ Combat Roleplay. ✓ Children Roleplay. ✓ Organic romances. ✓ Sexual tension/actions. ✓ Slice-of-Life Roleplay. ✓ Paragraph Roleplay. ✓ Discord Roleplay. ■ I AM OKAY WITH | ASK ABOUT ■ ● Final Fantasy XI mixed roleplay. I know this can be a bit iffy with some people, but I am certainly very willing to indulge in it so long as everyone involved is on the same page. Please Note: Any and all of Adelise's XI involved lore is generally kept very hidden from people ICly. She will not be going around talking on about her adventures in public places. This part of her lore is complicated and heavily built, therefore it is not something commonly spread around unless I personally know you the player better. ● Character Maiming. This applies to: severing of a limb, permanent disfigurement, and otherwise anything that could be extremely debilitating on my character for the rest of their life. ● Rape involved plots. While I am not against having dark things happen to my character, certain past experiences in RP have made this particular subject somewhat uncomfortable for me. If your character is villainous and looking to attempt something like this toward my own character, I will not allow such a thing to happen without OOC consent initially. Due to this experience though, be prepared for the answer to more than likely be no unless given a reasonable enough circumstance to work with. ● Prior friendship/romance planning OOC. While this is leaning more toward the "I'd rather not do this" I do make exceptions for a good enough reason. However though I strongly prefer organic friendships that build over time, rather than forced by writing. ● Lore-bending. So long as the lore is still intact, bend to your hearts content. After all, most characters wouldn't be all that interesting without stepping out a bit into deeper waters. Adelise herself bends lore in a lot of aspects, however I try to keep things as lore-friendly as possible. Anything that may stretch outside that realm, should be saved for private RP sessions and not in open public RP areas. ■ I WON'T PLAY ■ × Strictly ERP that is outside of organic plot growth. My character can and will ERP if the situation is put there, but she will not ERP with just any person that comes up and asks her. × Permanent character death unless asked of by myself. If you ask to kill my character, the answer will be no, always. No matter the situation they're in, I decide when they're ready to go. × Any sexual or romantic relations with a character that is a minor. × I will not indulge in or associate myself with characters that publicly and blatantly break lore. No 'The' Warrior of Light characters (this does not include warrior of light characters, they simply can not be the placeholder of the derplander who is directly involved in the MSQ.), or any heavy relations (Wife/husband, siblings, etc.) to primals or notorious NPC's. This also applies to: most if not all the mage jobs minus perhaps Black Mage and Astrologian. No Azure Dragoons. No people proclaiming themselves to be a notorious figure themselves (leader of a well-known clan ex. U'clan) No heavily open voidsent characters. Does this mean I won't play with people involving themselves with or who are possessed by voidsent, no, but if you walk into the Quicksand looking and openly speaking about how you're a voidsent, expect for me to most likely avoid you. An exception to this rule: If you have a well rounded character that can explain with reason why they have the job they have (minus White Mage/Azure Dragoon) then I am more willing to be accepting of it.

Disclaimer

It is important to note to all who choose to delve into Adelise's wiki, that some of the content and IC interactions revolving around the character are very lore-bending and to some potentially breaking (Though I wish for all readers to keep in mind that everything I do involve my character with, I make as lore-friendly as possible. Most if not all her actions are considered to be "possible" as proven by the MSQ in some way shape or form.). If this sort of content is something you as a player are not comfortable with, allow me to assure you that as an RPer I would never go out of my way to shove any content involving my character that might not coexist within the guidelines of public RP down anyones throats unless they so wished to respectfully interact with this side of my characters story. Most of anything that could be considered straying from these guidelines are typically kept from public view. If such knowledge causes you to be swayed from RPing with this character, I still thank you for your consideration nonetheless and hold no ill-feelings toward your decision. I am fully of the understanding that not all wish to stray away from strict-lore rules even if the character does not publicly display such content, and respect that.
