Character
Name
- Given Name: Ava Anders
- Nicknames and Aliases: Ava, (unaffectionately) Ms. Swindler
Appearance
The most notable things most people notice about Ava are the dark circles almost always present under her eyes, and the various scars and burns on her hands and face. The former suggests she is perhaps an insomniac, while the latter appears to be because of crafting accidents. The burns a never too large, more closely resembling flying embers or hot tools picked up without gloves; her scars, recent and old, are typically smaller as well, varying from scratches to small cuts or small pin pricks. She does have 3 recent scars, much more jagged than the rest on her face, seemingly from fights, one most prominently over her nose.
She's not very tall for her race, however she isn't tiny either. She looks fairly fit, not too much extra or unwanted fat on her body. She could be considered attractive, with a fairly curvaceous body. Her skin is tanned, with the tell-tale freckles and sun blister scars on her shoulders and upper back to show she wasn't born with the tan. Her hair is about the length of her shoulders, generally pulled into a ponytail and is a deep red color. Her eyes are a vibrant sea blue/green mix;something she's quite proud of.
Speech
There isn't anything remarkable about her voice, however it isn't uncommon for it to be slower and seemingly more uninterested the darker the circles under her eyes are.
Behavior
Ava is currently a mixed bag of ethics, morals, and decisions. Being raised in the environment she was, she's got a habit of taking the easy way out of conflict or strife. While she strongly desires to not be the shady person she was growing up, some habits are hard to break. Even though she's currently trying to be someone who cares for others and is able to help them, she still has a tendency to revert to her old tactics; fleeing, finger-pointing, coning, and flat-out avoiding the trouble all together.
- Motivations: Whatever the real story behind her and her family's falling out is, she no longer wants to be a part of their world. She wants nothing more than to be an honest crafter, making items that work and that people need so she can have her name down in history not as a daughter of a corrupt and wealthy trade family, but as someone who did things that matter.
- Disposition: She's generally a happy, spunky girl with a zeal for keeping things light and impersonal, but pleasant. She seems to dance around most topics that would require her explaining a lot about herself, or that would tie herself to any other person. However, she seems to genuinely dislike when people around her are visibly upset or not happy. Mixed in with her genuine desire for a happy environment and happy people is a good pinchful of sarcasm and cynicism in the form of dark, dry humor.
- Outlook: Just like her general behavior, her outlook is also mixed. Unlike her behavior, this will never change. Having seen the way the more corrupt higher families (at least in Ul'dah) live, she has a sour opinion of higher tier members of society and those in power who are unable to thwart them. However, she does acknowledge there are good people in all areas of life, and realizes if she wants to go down in history as someone who did things that matter, that those people need to be worked with and alongside for the greater good.
Positive Personality Traits
She's getting better at not only caring for other people but also acting upon that feeling. She's positive, forward thinking, and a strategist. She favors looking for a silver-lining rather than complaining about a situation and she's very driven to succeed.
Negative Personality Traits
This girl will con you out of your life savings and not think twice about it. Well, she used to, and still can on occasion. She has issues with compulsive lying, avoiding blame, and keeping stable connections with people. She's got an issue with grudges and first impressions.
Combat
Ava isn't too good at combat as of yet. Her more recent scars are proof of her inability to hold her own in a scuffle. As she's training, she's realized she isn't too shabby with ranged weapons, like the bows she makes or the muskets she stole on occasion for pranks growing up in Limsa Lominsa. She also enjoys watching puglists, and appreciates their ability to take an unexpected aggression and weave in and out avoiding hits. She almost thinks she'd be damn good at it, being as small as she is, if she had the chance to learn.

- Bron is a large, adult chocobo who has been with Ava most of her teen and young adult life. Raised from a hatchling, Ava and her chocobo have a strong bond and one can be sure he isn't far from her at any given time, except large cities. Bron towers over most other chocobos, making up for what he lacks in speed with girth and strength. Most, if not all of Ava's materials, tools, and items for peddling are commonly tied to his girdle.

Common Rumors
Moderate Rumors
- (Mostly other peddlers/merchants/crafters in the city-states, different variations) "I 'eard she 'as a whole crew stashed away on'a ship offa the coast filled with people who actually do 'er work. 'Ow else do ye explain a girl barely o'er twenty summers bein' able to handle ev'ry materia at 'at least a basic level?"
Rare Rumors

Player Character Rumors (IC only)
History/Timeline
This will be filled out in greater detail soon, as I work it out more in RP. Details that are set in stone and that can be used for RP goes as follows: She recently had a falling out with her family, which is a blending of Ul'dah higher ups (Mother's side) and Limsa Limonsa pirates/swindlers/black market vendors (father's). There are many, many different rumors about the situation depending on who and where you ask. Feel free to improvise. While she carries her family's not so good reputation, she does have her own good reputation: If you want to buy it, she can work with it. While she isn't proficient with every profession, she can use each of them at a basic level. (I.E: She can't make super amazing high-grade weapons, items and armor in every profession, but she can patch up armor well, and make basic versions of weapons, items and armor.)
