| | + | She's a small, shapely thing - a once gawky foundation turned to womanform. Or turning, judging by the chub of her cheeks and occasional stumbles, fumbles and tumbles (she's a ditsy helmsman). Her voice is bubbly and boisterous (inside voice? what inside voice?) and her tongue as foul as a sailor's. A tad of fire touches her blonde hair and her eyes are the sky and the sea. Beyond that, no real noteworthy brands. She's got a dim-witted smile though. |

| + | Chani grew up as a typical Lominsan youth: playing pirates, pulling pranks on tourists, pissing off the deckhands... She was happy (even with three older brothers tormenting her mercilessly.) Unfortunately her mother caught a cold, and it developed, and one can see where this leads to. Except before her passing, their was hope. An expensive one. The family's father (a failing merchant) said ''"'Ey!"''... and turned to gambling. If he could just get that jackpot! Needles to say, he racked up some serious monetary debts (the drinking didn't help). And when the hope faded and the family should've moved on... well, he approached a pirate gang for financial assistance. Except after a while the benefactors suspected the father was attempting to weasel out of his servitude, and so the Knights of Barracuda were anonymously tipped off on a "major pirate den" at Chani's residence. Acting on this information, the Knights ransacked the place, setting it ablaze and arresting the three brothers. Luckily (or not so?), Chani's escape was masked by the ensuing takedown of her brothers. As for the fate of her father... well, none of it she's very sure on. And as there's nothing she's been able to do (or find) in the ten years since, Chani has drifted on with her life. |

Fae may also refer to ''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairy faeries]''. The 'h' is silent unless pronounced in Miqo'te tongue. Resembles the Roegadyn word "Frae" which prompted the Styr-siblings' pet-name "Fraestyr": ''free star''. Her name may also be associated with ''fray'' (the unraveling or wearing of fabric) in regards to the intentions of the Spinner. | |

| + | A loudmouth and tomfool, Chani is knowledge-starved and thrill-seeking. Trouble's her name and danger's her game. She acts out of her best interests and isn't above pushing someone under the choco-coach if it means another day of life in her lungs. I advise you to watch your pockets around this one: what's yours is hers, and what's hers is hers. And expect the unexpected. Or maybe she's predictably unpredictable. Good luck! |

| − | A slight sprite of a creature with wiry tone, Cima is built small but strong [''akin to: [http://soulcalibur.wikia.com/wiki/Talim#Gallery Talim]'']. Her eyes are large, expressive and the colour of rubies, while her hair is a pine green pixie-cut with lengthy bangs. She has a thin, up-turned nose and pouting lips usually found in a broad, impish grin. A noticeable scar tapers over her left eye, a result of clumsiness and ill-timing on her part. Her skin, blemished here and there by other noteworthy injuries, is the typical Keeper complexion and as such, burns easily in sunlight. Around her neck dangles a bell-pendant - tinkling like wind-chimes with the subtlest of movements. She carries herself with a casual saunter.

| |
| − | WIP. Cima has always had a nose for trouble. Headstrong, scrappy and capricious, she is irreversibly reckless and ruled by her element, Fire. She may as well have been born a Seeker, for her only Keeper-qualities are her doggedness and brooding stare.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Growing up Cima never conducted herself with the token-Fhae composure and was frequently scolded for her daring and rebellious behaviour - a bla-red, very red sheep. Great-muma Sia suspected a foul sire; her muma Euna thought her delightfully spunky. She abandoned her faith and sense of spirituality with the loss of her family, deciding: ''"The Gods don't help nobody. You help yourself."'' and realizing: ''"Life's a waning candle - just asking to get snuffed out."'' Cima vows to live loud and fast - if she's going to die, she's going to do it kicking and screaming. It's hard to tell with her if she recognizes her life's frailty or considers herself invincible.

| |
| − | Under construction. [[File:Eastshroud.png|right|220px|Eastshroud.png]]
| |
| − | Cima was born in the Eastern Shroud to the Fhae family - shamans recognized by the forestfolk for their mystery, cunning and eerie intuition. They visited Gridania and hamlets on occasion, offering herbal remedies and fortune-telling (among other things) for various goods and supplies. The group consisted of: Sia the Great-Muma and All-Hearing, Nea the Eldest and Wisest, Vica the Elder Middle and Strongest, Risa the Younger Middle and Keenest, Euna the Youngest and Seer. Sia's daughters had several children each, and Cima was daughter to Euna. All were born under the Earth or Water element - save Cima. Their clan-totem was the Frog.
| |
| − | | |
| − | While Cima lacked the artful tact and serene disposition of her clan-mates, she did possess the Echo. The skill was dismissed as the Fhae's inherent ability to talk to the trees, and so the gift was overlooked. Instead, her kin focused on scolding her for her impulsive, brash and nosy nature (Except Euna - her muma cherished her dearly). Cima just wanted to do things right and sought positive recognition.
| |
| − | | |
| − | On a particularly bright, moonlit night, Cima of eight cycles heard whisperings among the wood. Intrigued (and bored), she snuck away from her family's camp and sought the source of the unusual sounds. Whoever it was, they were making crude jokes - and Cima found it painfully funny. Unfortunately she ''did'' discover the faces of the voices, and more unfortunately led the voices and their faces back - Ixali.
| |
| − | | |
| − | She was still caught in a daze when the wandering crusader, Fohcs, and his trusted young coeurl, Klyn-Koena, discovered her captive in the Ixali camp. They managed to free her and narrowly escaped - and so began the bombardment of questions, among them being: ''"Why did they take you?"'' / ''"How long were you prisoner?"'' / ''"Where is your family?"'' ... Cima blinked. They took her because they thought it ''painfully funny'' that a Miqo'te of so few cycles could understand them. She hadn't been paying attention to the turns of days to nights. And her family...

| − | Fhae is a pawnbroker at ''Finders, Keepers'' on Emerald Avenue, Ul'dah. They receive their fortuitous stock (for various reasons) from all corners of Eorzea. If your character requires something unusual, be it an antique or product of the black market - please give me a ring! It'd be fun to make some connections this way. Wilfie sends Fhae out to do all sorts of odd jobs - be it errand-running, pick-ups and drop-offs, and hunting for treasures of their own. If you have a courier, merchant, smuggler, treasure hunter, thief, etc that counts as a potential connection as well!
| |

| − | Also, obviously, no reaaal gil is required for this role-play idea, I just wanna have an excuse to mingle with all sorts of character breeds (and have fun doing it!). The price would be pretend-gil or shinies of some-sort or another. Fhae and Wilfie collect rabbit trinkets.
