Upbringing

Ahlia Wrenn (Eorzean Designation), formerly known as "Sakushi no Kana".

"Ahlia is merely my Eorzean designation, they tend to have a hard time with our names, understandably, I am well...Sakushi no Kana, first kin to the Sakushi Line."
First born of "Sakushi no Shun", Ahlia would act as the eventual heir to the Sakushi Line, a line of Yanxian Strategists formerly stationed at Doma Castle, prior to Garlean Occupation.

" One must never shy from suffering, for suffering breeds challenge & with challenge comes the pride of doing what must be done, when there is no answer, people look to us! "
As heir to the line, Ahlia's training & preparation began at a very young age, resulting in her growing to derive pleasure & joys from self-perfection, pain, challenge & adversity; Her position as the eldest left her the heiress, a position that, for most, held the weight of the lively-hood of the Doman populous, as one wrong decision could result in the death of her people, Ahlia knew full well her responsibility, not letting her age blind her, she took the pain, adversity & challenge as her own, turning it into her strength, will & pleasure going forward as she held her fathers words & the families creed to heart.

Her father reciting his late father's teachings, always being told that there is no honour in a fight you know you'll win, his teachings tempering the girl as one would a blade, unyielding, strong & resolute, naught but a smile gracing her whenever adversity she faced, her own struggles & the tests her father would subject her to only bringing her pleasure as she pushed through the pain with a grin & the desire for greater challenges yet.


Ahlia's grandmother was of Xaela decent, namely the Kha, which is how she happened about her grandfather many moons ago; Whereas her father taught her: warfare, martial training, tactics & strategy, political & diplomatic conduct, trade / bartering & merchantile arts, Ahlia's grandmother taught her the finer trades: song, dance, fine arts & tailoring all accompanied by the scholastics of literature, calligraphy, prose & poetry, history & culture of the many peoples she has come across in her lifetime of travel, imparting every skill & knowledge she has earned through her tribes endeavors.

Alongside which, tales of the Xaela people, which Ahlia holds as dear as her own birthright, her grandmother's heritage clearly flowing through her veins as she seeks a world united, embracing the cultures of the world other than shunning them & aspiring to take on the struggles of the entire world on her shoulders one fateful day.

Aspects & Nature

Aspects

{ Tactician }

      Born of a long line of Doman Tacticians, she was trained from a young age to read the flow of combat & battle, accounting unexpected variables.
      As well as the values of leadership, words & will. 

{ Iron Will }

      Having the Sakushi name to uphold, her training was not kind, having to learn through pain & strive to match the expectations given to her. 

Ahlia's Research:
AD - MINI - STRATUM
Aether Sink Designs

Aether Sink Cross Section

Ahlia's Research:
AD - MINI - STRATUM
Aetheric Lattice Arcanima

      This eventually developed a strong love for challenge / hardship / adversity & pain. 

{ Mortality }

      Her love for pain & adversity leads her to often time neglect herself, putting herself in harms way more often that not.
      This recklessness at her own expense is seldom healthy given the concepts of mortality.

{ Ravaged }

       A Magitek bolt pierced her arm, rending her flesh & musculature, leaving her incapable of wielding a blade & carrying out sudden movements.

Nature

{ Forever Young }

      Ahlia possesses an endearingly childish demeanor, grinning & laughing at the simplest provocation, even when faced with morid or terrible implications she riles people 
      behind her with a smile & gleeful empowerment. Alike how she shunned other tacticians who hid behind the battlements in battle, preferring to take the front-lines, leading 
      from alongside her people, rallying them behind her smile & demeanor. 

{ She's A Lady }

      For all her childish tendencies, Ahlia is very well spoken, elegant & well mannered, seldom referring anyone in a familiar fashion unless explicitly permitted, more often than 
      not referring to even the lowest of trade & questionable of intentions with honorifics & pleasantries, almost exclusively regarding anyone by their last names until prompted 
      otherwise, unless they are of a tribal demeanor: Xaela especially.

{ Objection! }

      Ahlia doesn't stand being contradicted on factual accounts, prompting the only occasion she has to fake her smile, this seldom affects her enough to warrant her dropping
      her smile, if it does however, she will do so, taking on a perfectly professional demeanor, yet NEVER speaking ill or regarding someone impolitely & NEVER keeping a grudge 
      or holding anything against anyone, she knows that most of the time, individuals demeanor are out of their control, often times being the product of societal adaptation, 
      temporary mood swings / experiences or social reprisal. 

{ Intrepid Polymath }

      Ahlia has become accustomed with recording all her findings to the extent that she does so incredibly quickly, recounting & accounting next to anything of importance
      for future use & reference, even going as far as creating full scale painting to recount events or happenings for posterity.

{ Rehabilitation }

       Ahlia has attended to her rehabilitation enough that wielding a blade is possible, yet the sheer pain makes it implausible, at least for right now to do so effectively. 
       Her body & musculature, unlike her build & appearance would suggest, is well defined yet still possessing her kinds fair features & elegance, defined more so than you 
       would expect given her condition, making it apparent that she struggled through the pain to maintain herself.

{ Miss World Wide }

       Ahlia's Xaela Kha heritage & her time in Eorzea further enforced her desires & love for the cultures & history of all nations & civilizations, going as far as collecting
       history & attire of importance to each culture, wearing it & adoring to regale people with tales of the civilizations proper.

{ Eorzea, In Season }

       Eorzean influences made their way into Ahlia's aesthetic quite substantially over time, whereas she seldom adorned her face with hues & her clothes with gold, she slowly took 
       a liking to the practices, recently being of one mind to fully commit to her international appraisal, adorning her visage & hair with red hues. As well as donning attire & 
       applying accessories that featured ellectrum, to better permit the flow of aether as well as propogating that Uldah flair she adores so!

Timeline

Occupation Of Doma

Ahlia was naught but 12 when the Garlean offensive first struck, for all her training & contribution in the council, she was kept from joining the field, gracing each other with a wry smile & knowing nod as her father headed out into the chaos, never once did she anticipate her fathers demise & the Garlean offensive that came to shake the foundations of Othard. As Master Gekkai tore a hole through their plans & chaos devolved. With her father's death Ahlia would take formal leadership of the line, her unwavering smile not being broken for a second as she knew what was to come.

That fateful day showed her first hand the terrors of war, the challenge that she so longed for... & she wanted more.

Years later, with the War Of Succession underway, an opportunity had arisen to strike back at the Garlean threat; The challenge, the challenge she sought out so fervently was there, burning the fields & men before her very eyes, the might of the Garlean technological superiority, the destruction that was wrought by the Garlean Magitek beasts, it burned into her eyes, the image leaving her agasp, she understood then, even if Master Gekkai didn't turn his blade against their kin & the battle was won, she knew, they would of lost the war, in that moment of unbridled fascination & absence however, a Magitek bolt flew, piercing her arm, rending her flesh, dropping her blade. Regaining her composure, a toothed grin graced her lips as she quickly relayed orders to retreat, sparring the lives of her men was all she could do, the offensive had failed.

In order to protect the families, prevent further bloodshed & find aid among the people of distant shores, it was unanimously elected that we flee Othard & set sail to Eorzea, where Yugiri & the remaining loyal shinobi would yet hope to elect the kindness & assistance of our yet distant Eorzean kin.

Ahlia, anticipating the possibility of the failure of their attempt at retaking Doma, took measures to assure the safety of her family & those loyal to her; she journeyed to the Azim Steppes, home of multiple Xaela Tribes, where she faced the trials of Bardam's Mettle, granting her the rights & honour of a warrior of the steppe. This allowing her to arrange a refuge for her kin with the Kha & Malaguld tribes, be it that they failed. When the retaking of Doma failed, the poeple of Kha rejoiced to see one of their elders having returned from a beautiful & resounding life, no second too late before barraging the Doman & our family with curiosity & praise, pride in their eyes as they saw her kin, me & my siblings, it was enough to wash away the terrors of that day away, as the celebrations commenced, prior to Ahlia's departure for Eorzea.

Ahlia with a toothed grin & a dangerous joy in her eyes, left the next day for Eorzea alongside her fellow Yanxians, hope & passion burning in her heart as she craved to understand Aether, Magitek & the source of the Garlean superiority that left them so powerless in the end & which marked a new day for herself & her people.

A New Home

Upon reaching Eorzea, Ahlia dispersed from the rest as they sought refuge, having had the musculature of her right arm torn by the magitek bolt, rendering her unable to wield a blade, she left pursuing knowledge, so that the mistakes she made would not result in the death of any more of her kin; Kana, adopting the designation of Ahlia Wrenn, began to seek out authorities on aetherology & it's applications across Eorzea.

As an intrepid polymath on a journey to aetherial understanding, she eventually made a name for herself as a strict practitioner, with an air of unwavering resolution & almost terrifying joy, braving the depths & limits of the study, stopping at nothing to expand her understanding on the applications of aether; upon completion of her studies with what must have been her 14th mentor yet, she was redirected to Saint Coinach's Find, in Mor Dhona, where the Sharlayan's stationed there welcomed her with open hands & endeavored to teach her the last of the art.

Upon learning all she could, Ahlia had to bid farewell to those that she had come to know as family once more, seeking out Ul'dah, where she enlisted in the Immortal Flames.

Her reputation among aetherological authorities in the area & the renown of her dealings with multiple highly prestigious aetherological researchers, quickly secured her a position as an Aetherological Consultant for the Immortal Flames, a position which she yet holds until today. Stationed temporarily alongside the Machina & Magitek division, Ahlia had come to associate herself with individuals of varying pursuits & allegiances, the pleasure of working alongside others of similar predisposition & craft was exactly what she needed to push her forward in the domain, however, with recent events & happening leading to the Eorzean Alliances focus on reclaiming Gyr Abania from Garlean occupation, the division was quickly deployed by the flames. Her priorities being first & foremost her own people, she promptly disappeared, resigning from their employ & seeking out news of Doma.

A forum of Yanxian & Doman loyalists was called, many young souls speaking of their home's liberation as soul after soul went about preparing for the efforts that would soon be made to reclaim our home. Her unyielding passion for the technology that ravaged her home led her to actively seek out knowledge to empower herself & take on greater challenges yet, all with a childish grin gracing her lips as she herself readies for that fateful day to come.
