Character
Amelyn Steele is a twenty year old hyur who lives a fairly basic life in the desert of Thanalan. She currently works as a courier, transporting supplies between settlements in the desert of Thanalan in order to provide gil for her parents.
Appearance
Due to an upbringing of poverty, Amelyn is most often found in very simple clothing. A worn tunic and leggings with boots are her normal choice, and they are often in a poor condition - both dirty and tattered from living in a harsh climate. She is always found with several supply pouches strapped to her tattered leather belt, and also carries a small worn bronze dagger that she keeps sheathed at her hip.
Behaviour
Kind, simple and uneducated are all words that are often used to describe Amelyn's behaviour and personality to others. Most often, when people manage to become close to this young woman, they also find a sense of need for something more within her, as though she isn't happy with herself at the present time.
Combat
Due to her current line of work, Amelyn has trained herself in the basic use of swords and daggers to fend off thieving bandits and also the wild animals of Thanalan. While she has no formal training in using blades, an upbringing of physical labor has made her quite formidable in a close up fight.

History/Timeline
In 1577, while her mother was heavily pregnant with Amelyn, her parents fled the city of Ala Mhigo shortly before it became occupied by Garlean forces as they saw the Garleans as invaders rather than liberators like many other citizens.
Whilst fleeing the city and travelling south towards Ul'dah, her mother went into labor at the outskirts of Thanalan. Amelyn was born on the road and, although the experience was daunting for her mother, both mother and child survived the birth in good health.
When the family finally arrived to Ul'dah, they found that due to a lack of material wealth they were turned away from the city. Like many other refugees that had fled Ala Mhigo, Amelyn and her family ended up settling in the desert at a refugee camp.
Amelyn was raised in relative peace, though also clear poverty. Her parents couldn't afford to send her to an education institute, and instead her late childhood was spent helping with small jobs she could handle in order to scrape together some gil for her family.
Today, Amelyn and her family call Little Ala Mhigo their home. Due to her upbringing, she is unable to read or write, but she now has several other skills at her disposal. She shows decent physical strength due to an upbringing of physical labor, and has also shown great promise with close melee weapons such as swords and daggers, a skill she decided to learn to fight off bandits and wild animals.
She now works as a courier in the desert of Thanalan, taking supplies between settlements and performing odd jobs for anyone who offers to pay her enough.
Despite this lifestyle being all she has ever known, Amelyn longs for something more every day. While close with both of her parents, she has grown to hate her refugee home and instead dreams of something more. She is often found listening to Bards singing tales of distant lands and adventures, and deep down wishes she could experience the stories they tell first hand.
