Appearance
Aya holds the appearance of a Hyuran woman no older than perhaps her early twenties. Despite this fact, her hair is silver, typically kept either shoulder-length or long. Her eyes would be described as a stark magenta. She also bears pale skin, and black tribal-like markings on her shoulders, down her back, and down her sides.
History
Around two years after her arrival in Eorzea (eight years prior to the Calamity), Aya and her companion (a thaumaturge by the name of Agian) began making a name for themselves in some of the more hush hush knowledge circles around Eorzea. They sought knowledge of the realm, and were obviously not from Eorzea itself, though their accents weren't recognizable as some of the more common realms around Hydaelyn. This led quickly to rumors that they were Sharlayan scholars, which they never refuted nor supported.
Before long, the two silver-haired magic users found their way to the home of the S tribe. They surveyed the land on their own for a while, but before long, Aya decided to recruit another into their group, much to Agian's annoyance. So, knowing full well her story, Aya recruited the 'help' of the young Miqo'te S'ami. The peppy young girl was more than ecstatic to aid Aya's fieldwork, and not long after such fieldwork was completed, the young girl begged to be brought along. Agian was obviously displeased when Aya agreed to bring her along (but he's just an NPC, so he never gets his way). Regardless, he eventually agreed with reluctance, and so the trio continued their journeys. Both Aya and Agian helped the Miqo'te learn conjury, while Aya gave her an enhanced silk scarf to help her training along.
During the next year, Aya followed several aetheric traces, and soon found another Miqo'te to add to her collection, the young boy W'khael. Despite being of a different tribe, he bore a startling resemblance to S'ami, and the two quickly hit it off. Aya allowed him, too, into the group, and began training him as a Machinist.
After the Calamity, Aya decided to let S'ami run until she got a hold of her own bearings; she knew that the Miqo'te was alive, and that being alone would greatly increase her powers in conjury, so the scholar turned her attention back to the two who yet stayed with her.
Not willing to tell the young W'khael what had actually happened with his friend, Aya told him that S'ami had disappeared, and that, while she didn't assume her to be dead, they couldn't assume that she was alive. Instead, she told him, it would be best for the three of them to figure out their own placement in this newly terraformed realm. Reluctantly, he agreed, which led them to continue travelling about, intertwining with several well-known NPCs.
Eventually, Aya enraptured more of a following. She made her presence known only in key places, and eventually made her way through the ranks of a scholar society known as the KLK. Before long, she had wormed her way to the top, with her two previous companions by her side, along with many new ones to support her. The group currently holds an inconspicuous manor in The Goblet ((though, there's recently been talk of putting a Mogwall on the house, uh... inconspicuously conspicuous?)) and travels the realm, consolidating knowledge and keeping it close to their own chests. Aya makes certain to keep the group rather hidden from outside sources, but their name bears tremendous weight whenever they want something.
Most recently, Aya has heard word that young S'ami has secured a place amongst the 81st Levy. Curious, she's sent W'khael to check up on the rumors, and awaits his reports. Other than that, she can typically be found amongst the tomes of the KLK's manor, which Agian sitting faithfully by her side...
Personality
Aya is the opposite of many stoic-type archetypes, in that she's very - even overly - friendly with people she doesn't know. If it's your first Time meeting her, she'll either give off one or two auras: very withheld, or very peppy, to the point that every word is accompanied by a happy smile ((she's even been known to curl into a ball and roll down the staircase as a potato, before; no, they didn't kick me out, I was welcomed as I am)).
However, most people aren't likely to know Aya well at all, because she tends to keep people at an arms-length, even when giving the illusion that she's your best friend. The only one who she's genuine with is Agian; even W'Khael is only so privy to her personality. Underneath her peppiness, she's very calm, collected, cold, callous, and calculating. This is possibly due to her having to focus most of her energy and mental state on tracing through the KLK's collected knowledge, as well as leading the group; it often leaves her little Time to show anything other than her calm side. Even so, she's never rude or malicious, even when alone with Agian.
Affiliations and Known Associates
- ♥ (NPC) Agian: Agian is Aya's faithful follower, who is only very rarely not by her side ((otherwise known as my dutifully faithful retainer whom I've placed at my estate, you know)). He bears a somewhat similar silvery-white hair, but unlike Aya's magenta eyes, he sports icy blue ones. Agian would easily do anything to please his mistress, and would do anything to attain the information she requires... whatever that may be.
- ● (PC) S'ami Malkoh: At the age of 10, Sami first met the magenta-eyed scholar Aya Numi. The two quickly became good friends - or at least, Sami thought so - as Sami helped Aya to better understand the layout of the land. Not long after this, Sami tagged along on Aya's adventures, following her all over Eorzea... until an unforseen circumstance led to the young Miqo'te fleeing her friend in fear. Since then, S'ami - now known as simply 'Sami' - has made her home in Drybone, continuing research on her own Time.
- ● (PC) W'khael Tia: Khael joined Aya Numi's travelling research group not very long after Sami did. As he was the exact same age as her - and, not to mention, also a Miqo'te - the two became uncannily good friends. Aya and Agian trained him as a Machinist, and his abilities have only grown since the Calamity. He's very loyal to Aya, and now that he's aware S'ami is alive, he likely thinks that she abandoned them. Still, having been good friends with her, he doesn't want to believe this, so Aya has sent him to find out.
- ● (PC) Lain Aubrey: Lain Aubrey is a young, feminine boy, who has been travelling with Aya for several years now. Aya, Agian, and W'khael stayed with his family not long after the Calamity, secretly doing research on a circus that the group ran. When they left, it wasn't long before Aya discovered young Lain hiding amongst their things. Rather than throwing him back, though, she took him with, and has been mentoring the young Hyur... while also proving on several occasions that she won't put up with his haughty attitude. She'll occasionally take him along on some of her solo missions, as his ability to masquerade as a pretty young girl has come in handy... numerous Times.

Other Notes
Religion
Aya does not display any obvious idea of religion, but treats the gods as though they certainly exist. However, instead of calling out any specific deity name, she'll either reference the 'Ellosyr' or just simply the 'gods'. Not being from Eorzea, chances are that her knowledge of the Eorzean deities is somewhat limited.
Quirks
- She will occasionally potato down the stairs; it's best not to question it.
- If she feels comfortable with you, chances are that she'll lob a few playfully jabbing comments at you; feel free to throw some back! She loves a good back-and-forth.
- She will often spend entire sessions just watching other people's interactions. If this happens, don't assume that she's bored! In fact, it may be quite the opposite; she may just be so enamored with your conversation that she doesn't want to intrude.
- She will, 93% of the Time, have her pet red panda with her.
Known Haunts
You might have run into or otherwise know Aya from:
- The Quicksand
- Any main city or town (Ishgard and Idyllshire are her most recently popular destinations!)
- Walking around The Goblet and some of its own haunts

Yeah there are totally other people at the table.
No, they're not NPCs, they're trained assassins. What are you talking about?
