General Information
Ceri Mokma is a Miqo’te Keeper of the Moon, wayward daughter of a successful Gridanian merchant. Unlike most Keepers, she was raised by her father and never really knew her mother. She’s trained in conjury, but her connection to aether is unstable. She can perform incredible feats of healing one minute, and struggle mend a scratch the next, so she supplements her healing through geometries and practical medicine.
Appearance
Ceri’s most eye-catching features are her intense, light-blue eyes, her shoulder-length white hair, and unusual, but natural, blue freckles. She’s small, even for a Miqo’te, with soft features and large ears. Though she sometimes obsesses over what to wear, she likes to dress simply, with clothes fit for travel, or designed for comfort, rather than show. Though she’s usually on the road between cities or staying in questionable inns, she manages to keep well groomed and clean, and it’s rare to catch her looking otherwise.

Mannerisms
She’s a wallflower. Absent-minded, easily confused, and awkward when she’s nervous. Not only that, her sense of humor runs dry and dark with a hint of sarcasm, which doesn’t help matters. She’s easy to misunderstand, and she finds there aren’t many people who really get along with her unless they don’t need her for something, so she tends to kept her thoughts to herself. Nonetheless, she’s determined to help people however she can, whether they like her or not, and she’s happy to keep her mouth shut, if that makes it easier for others to accept her help.
Philosophy & Ideals
Best described as a cautious idealist, she tries to find the good in everyone – if it’s there, she’ll do her best to find it – if she can’t find it though, or if you’ve broken one of her serious moral rules, which she’ll never share with you, she’ll probably never forgive you even if you wanted her to. In general, she believes in making a better world, and dislikes those who are too ready to accept the world as it stands.
Quirks
- She tends to stare at strangers, or even friends, from a distance, but she calls it people-watching.
- She can be forgetful to the point of seeming rude. It’s not that she doesn’t care, but sometimes the details don’t matter to her.
- Complex mechanical devices have a habit of breaking when she tries to uses them.

Early Life
Childhood
Ceri was born in the Shroud, but after he mother died, her father, a decidedly non-traditional Keeper, took her and raised her in Gridania. He was a carpenter, and later a successful trader and merchant, selling tools and materials mostly. She grew up in relative comfort, as her father could afford to give her almost anything she could possible want. But she never asked too much of him, as he was usually very busy. She usually had the house to herself, holed up with some old book, or else spending time with the neighbor children: a Hyur boy and a few Elezen girls.
Adolescence
When she came of age, she bounced around between different studies, eventually settling on Conjury. He connection to the elements was at times impressive, and at others disappointing. She could heal major injuries one day, and struggled to heal a scratch the next day. He instructors claimed Ceri wasn’t trying hard enough, and maybe they were right.
Adulthood
On her twentieth birthday she decided to set out on her own, to see the world. She took only a few supplies, and whatever money her father gave her. Because she had never really spent time around them, she thought she decided to visit the Keepers in the Shroud first, but she didn’t stay long – she wasn’t really a part of them anyway. So she moved on to Limsa Lominsa, where she tried her hand at arcanistry, hoping to supplement her abilities whenever her conjury failed her. She learned a few healing geometries, but decided to quit when her funds ran out. At the suggestion of a cynical Roedagyn mercenary captain, she decided to sell her skills limited healing skills to try to make ends meet on her own.
Recent Times
These days she can be found in any of the major cities trying to sell her healing abilities, or, barring that, on the lookout for a warm bed for the night. She typically gets hired by mercenary outfits, ships, or caravans looking for a ‘budget option’ – mediocre skill, low cost. The lifestyle gets a little harsh sometimes, so she’s currently on the lookout for steadier work, if she can find it.

Player Info
My Policies
-
Healing
I like to treat battle healing as more like a bandage, keeping things from falling apart or people from bleeding out. Afterwards, more serious care might be needed, long-term attention, etc.
-
Lore
I don’t mind playing fast and loose with the lore, or keeping it close. Up to you. Though, you may have to correct me if I’m wrong about something.
-
Limited OOC
I like to immerse myself. Too much OOC tends to ruin the fun.
