Character
General
Originally hailing from the Black Shroud, Adeya turned up in Limsa Lominsa one day with little more than a beat up spellbook and the clothes on her back. Since then she has been trying to make a name for herself as a mage and scholar.
Appearance
Standing at about 5 fulms, Adeya is of average height for a miqo'te. While the more charitable might call her build lithe, scrawny is perhaps a more accurate description, as lithe implies a grace that Adeya tends to lack. This, combined with the fact that she usually keeps her dark denim hair short, has in the past occasionally resulted in people mistaking her for a boy, even without her trying to appear as one. Despite having lived under the Vylbrand sun for the past several years she is still rather on the pale side, in stark contrast to her dark eyes which are the color of carmine. Almost directly below her eyes are a pair of grey facial markings sometimes seen in miqo'te, while above her left eyebrow is a small, faded scar. In addition, her left arm is heavily scarred, though she almost always conceals this fact under long sleeves.
As a general rule, she dresses in the styles typical Limsa Lominsa. Her clothing tends overwhelmingly towards the practical, with a clear emphasis on function over fashion. It is a rare sight indeed to see her in a dress or bothering with makeup, and even then it's clear that she's not completely comfortable in more formal attire. Even rarer still is seeing her without her dark red grimoire at her side.
Personality
Like many a Keeper of the Moon, Adeya can be seen as reserved. She tends to be somewhat guarded with her thoughts and emotions, a fact which has occasionally been known to make her appear to be detached or even cold. It perhaps doesn’t help that she can be a bit blunt when dealing with people and has a tendency towards sarcasm. Furthermore, Adeya’s view of the world is a fairly cynical one. Her upbringing taught her to be wary around people, especially Gridanians, a tendency which was later expanded and reinforced during her first few years in Limsa Lominsa.
Still, around close friends or those who share her interests she is much more open. When discussing something she is passionate about, such as anything to do with aether, she can be quite animated and, if not stopped, rather long winded. At the end of the day Adeya is extremely curious, and she is always eager to both acquire and share new knowledge. This quiet enthusiasm is something that she brings to pretty much everything; when she has made a decisions about something it is difficult to change her mind. She takes both her word and commitments very seriously, and hates to break either.
Romantically, Adeya is interested in both men and women. She can see the beauty in either, and tends to be more concerned about whether a potential partner can keep up with her intellectually (at least when it comes to anything serious). She is also fairly comfortable with open relationships.
Quirks
- Is a night owl, and is prone to insomnia.
- Seems to possess no talent for conjury despite being a decent arcanist and passable thaumaturge.
- Is a terrible, if enthusiastic, cook.
- Has trouble seeing her carbuncle as just a tool, and has even given it a name.
- Has been known to keep a torn grimoire page in her pocket. Just in case.

Relationships
Family
- Kiht Evenar - Growing up, Adeya and her mother had a rather rocky relationship. The two haven't spoken since Adeya ran away from home, a situation which at the moment is unlikely to change.
- Z'rhiki Tia - In truth, Adeya doesn't really know much about the man that fathered her, having never actually met him. This has resulted in her having rather mixed feelings about both him and her Seeker heritage in general. Still, she has occasionally tried to track him down, though her attempts have all been unsuccessful so far.
- Kiht'a Evenar - Adeya's half brother and one of the few family members that she stays in contact with. The two aren't exactly close, though Adeya can still be rather protective of him.
Friends
- Kurt Steel - A Hyur adventurer that Adeya once taught basic arcanima to. "Friends" is perhaps not the best word for their relationship, as it's not entirely clear whether or not Adeya truly sees him as an equal. Still, there have been a few hints that she cares more about him than she lets on. Though with all things considered, that's probably not saying much.
- Hikari Leblanc - A Highlander mercenary and one of the leaders of the Illustre Alliance. Though they started out more or less as business partners, all the time they've been spending together lately suggests that there is now more to the story.
- Idristan Agache - Adeya's mentor and the person who helped encourage her love of history. Though he has since left Limsa Lominsa the two have remained in touch, mainly through the occasional letter.
- Miah Amariyo - Adeya's best friend from childhood. The two haven't spoken in years, though Adeya once heard rumors that she left the clan not long after she herself did. On the other hand, she hasn't been able to find out anything about her since the Calamity, leading her to assume the worst.
Acquaintances
- Asheloux Thalantos - An Elezen mage and one of the leaders of the Illustre Alliance, if Adeya had to pick one word to describe him it would be "interesting". Still, she has respect for him as a fellow researcher, and hopes that their current partnership helps further both their goals.
- Orrin Halgren - An Ishgardian Hyur who once employed Adeya for a trek into the Wanderer's Palace, one that left the group with more questions than answers. Currently the two have an agreement to share information on the matter with each other, though on a personal level Adeya isn't quite sure what to make of him yet.
- Surge Dravorgas - A Hyur explorer that Adeya once shared a drink with. While he can't seem to stay on one topic for more than a minute, some of his ideas seem to show promise. That is, assuming they don't blow up in his face first.
- Ziek Kazuto - A very odd Hyur that calls himself a wanderer. Adeya can't quite make sense of him, though she's hoping to run into him again. If only to get a chance to try to figure him out.
- Jin Dachja - A Midlander mercenary Adeya ran into during a trip to Ul'dah that had gone badly. The two kinda hit it off, though whether things will move beyond drinking buddies level remains to be seen.
- Petyr White - One of Adeya's colleagues, an arcanist that joined the guild around the same time Adeya did. The two have something of a rivalry, with one always trying to outdo the accomplishments of the other.
Enemies
- Naois Faller - A Highlander pirate, one that Adeya ran into not long after she became an arcanist. It's safe to say that the two don't like each other much.
- Rhela Amariyo - The matriarch of Adeya's former clan. Despite years having gone by Adeya still carries a deep, abiding grudge towards the older woman. She suspects the feeling is mutual.

Additional Info
RP Hooks
Your character may have a tie to Adeya if:
- They are an arcanist or are otherwise affiliated with the Arcanists' Guild. Depending on when they joined there's a good chance they may have worked together at some point, or at the very least heard some of the rumors about her.
- They are a Yellowjacket. Another case where they might have worked together. Perhaps dealing with smugglers or something along those lines.
- They are or were a member of the Wood Wailers or Gods' Quiver. While it's unlikely that they would know of Adeya personally, the name Evenar is known to be tied to the Padfoots, a small group of Keeper poachers and black market fur traders.
- They are interested in Nymian history. They might have heard a mention of her name or even read some of her work on attempting to reverse engineer Nymian magic.

OOC Notes
Always up for more RP, either in-game or on the forums. If you've got ideas don't hesitate to share.
Also, if anyone would like to play another clan member or distant family from the Ziz tribe that would be awesome. Just get in touch so we can work out details.
