- Very tall, with a tendency to loom, Annaliese is tautly muscled and athletically built, with broad shoulders and a streamlined body. Her dark skin is coated with a fair amount of scars, though they are mostly hidden beneath layers of clothing and armor. She has a square jaw and prominent, aquiline nose, with arched, expressive brows that frame an often unsettlingly intense, silver gaze. It's a face that lends itself to withering stares as often as sly smiles. Her thick, black hair holds a bluish tint in certain lighting. Thick and wavy, especially curly when soaked, it falls to the upper quadrant of her back. It’s often managed into a braid.
Distinguishing Features: Most noticeably an aquiline nose and chiseled cheekbones. An old scar on her forehead that’s a shade lighter than her skin, as well as a scar at the edge of her right eyebrow. A vertical scar runs from the corner of her upper lip to nearly the cleft in her chin. Callused hands and fingers.
Solitary, business-focused, and serious, Annaliese is easily labeled as aloof. Where she fails in expressing herself verbally, her expression typically compensates. A tendency to be too analytical often trumps her thoughts, but for the most part, she is reserved and polite.
Rather serious and a bit prickly, she is occasionally charming if her guard is let down for more than several seconds. Self-discipline slips in the presence of good company, good drinks, or a good meal, and so smiles and jokes come more easily. Losses suffered from the Calamity have taken their toll on her well-being though. She's slow to trust, but excruciatingly loyal, and there is a softness beneath the massive chip on her shoulder.
Speech: She is articulate and tends to choose her words carefully, sometimes pausing to search for a word.
Personal Strengths: Meticulous, loyal, driven, observant, athletic, business-savvy. In combat, her wiry build strengthens her blows, her quick reflexes serve her well, and she is exceedingly nimble...
Personal Weaknesses:… but if she stops moving, she’s liable to lose several teeth or end up on the business end of a sword. The duskwight’s sensitive hearing is both an advantage and a disadvantage. In crowded, urban areas, it drives her into auditory overload, but it makes her quite skilled at close combat. She’s more often than not serious to a fault and terse. "All work and no play" and all that.
Character Flaws: Cynical, aloof, sarcastic, stubborn, vengeful, at times socially awkward, overly perfectionistic. If she had a Sin, it'd be Pride. Light and sound sensitive.
Personality Quirks: Her tendency to cut through the thick of things (combined with slight social awkwardness) is sometimes achieved with overt, unconscious bluntness. At the same time, she is occasionally joking, if snarky. A knife is always somewhere on her person. Smokes cigarettes when nervous.
Heavily Abridged: Annaliese Sellecerre (27th Sun 6th Umbral Moon) is a Duskwight Elezen who hails from the underground in the mountains of Coerthas. Born into a long-fallen house of nobles, she spent her childhood and adolescence toiling alongside her family doing backbreaking mining and excavation work. In later years, following an interest in precious gems, the realization of their value led to pocketing some of the raw material, refining it, and selling it to merchants.
This did not, however, go unnoticed for terribly long, and was eventually punished. Most of her family (and much of her city) was lost in the Calamity from a resulting cave-in and rock slide, though her sister remains alive. Her whereabouts were and remain to be unknown, however, and the difficult years that followed led to Anna's wandering toward Ul'dah as a refugee, scraping out a living as a pickpocket and raider until her eventual disentanglement.
Present-day, she has since (seemingly, at least) reformed and taken to honest work as a bodyguard, goldsmith, and general contractor of martial jobs.
Orientation: Homosexual
Religion: Halone, The Fury
Hobbies: Reading, sparring, fishing, traveling, hand-to-hand combat. She enjoys fine drink and good food, though her culinary ventures are often of necessity rather than luxury. Younger days of caving and raiding cultivated an interest and skill in gemcutting, and she possesses well-honed survival, smithing, and alchemical skills.
Special Talents: Primarily, Anna is a practitioner of hand-to-hand combat. She has quite the musical ear but lacks instrumental skill to accompany it and outright refuses to sing. (At least around others) So it's largely kept to herself. Nimble, strong, good with her hands, a skilled pugilist and one-time pickpocket, street-smart and business-minded.
Favored Weapons: Claws - Most commonly used against armed or armored opponents. They are used to disarm and deflect blows, as well as wound and kill.
Wrapped Fists or Hora - Used in hand-to-hand combat or most situations. It allows her to more easily utilize her fists and grappling when necessary.
Daggers/Knives - She favors a pair of daggers a bit shorter than her forearm.
Favored Attire: Jerkins, knitted shirts, plated gloves, sarouels, high boots. Anything that covers her as fully as possible, really. Her wardrobe is comprised almost entirely of dark, rich colors as well as earth tones and varying shades of blue.
Inventory: While traveling, she prides herself on packing light: Linen, dried food, salted meats, poultices, and a collection of potions. Otherwise, a gil satchel, knife, and several vials line her belt.
