Resolute, Inspiring, Whimsical, Pragmatic, Reserved, Devious

L I K E S ■ Family --Be they her own or not, be they by blood or not, a strong sense of familial value has been instilled in Chise. She’s more prone to like and respect an individual who has a motley group of their own than an errant loner. Granted she’s just as likely to bring that errant loner under her wing. ■ Nature. -- Well, what isn’t there to like? Sunrise and sunsets, clear night skies, wandering breezes and fluffy clouds. And that’s only covering air! Don’t get the young woman started on plants. Especially not flowers. Often times Chise spends long periods of time on the outskirts of towns getting to know the woods, coasts, or deserts surrounding. ■ Courtesy. -- Even if Chise doesn’t necessarily like someone she still believes interaction warrants a degree of consideration. While manners are appreciated Chise values knowing someone is at least trying to act nicely towards her. “Manners” change from region to region but intent stays the same. ■ Honesty. -- Odd, mayhap, that a young woman working such a dishonest line would appreciate transparency in others. Yet mayhap that is exactly why she appreciates it. While her work may not be honest and her methods not necessarily legal Chise appreciates knowing the people around her won’t drive a knife between her ribs or throw her under the wagon. ■ Magic. -- And magic and some more magic while she’s at it. Chise is incredibly fascinated with how people can change the world around them with a mere thought. Herself included! While she tends more towards conjuration this interest has lead her towards more eclectic practices and she’s always looking for more things to tuck into her apron. ■ Rules and Order. -- Not one for chaos Chise generally likes a guideline. And if there isn’t a guideline she will make a guideline. And if there is a guideline she will find loopholes in the guideline. Sure, she values honesty but isn’t everyone a bit of a hypocrite? ■ Psychological Cat and Mouse. -- One of these likes is not like the others! One of these likes is the product of years worth of abnormal environment and inherent self destructive tendencies! Chise likes a good challenge. Chise likes stakes. Chise likes the idea that one day someone she deems “worthy” will completely devastate her and then push her off a cliff.

D I S L I K E S ■ Garleans. -- There’s almost no reasoning with Chise when it comes to Garleans.In fact Chise finds her hate as reasonable as it is justified. While she won’t go killing any in cities she certainly won’t hesitate to drive the knife in when she thinks no one is looking. Sympathizers aren’t safe, either. Those who have fled the Empire, however, she can sympathize with. ■ Boats -- Surprise, surprise, ships lose their novelty when you have to spend a really long time on them. If Chise never has to sail on another seaship again she’ll die content. ■ Flagrant Disregard Not everyone has it in them to be polite. Polite is something that changes with culture. However those who very blatantly walk all over her and hers (and others) simply aren’t the kind of people she’ll get along with. Thought before action can go a long way.-- ■ Cowardice. -- Behaviour deemed dishonorable or cowardly is near unforgivable to Chise. Running from fight bar tactical retreat or breaking promises sans clever pragmatism will leave her with quite the grudge.

H A B I T S  &  S K I L L S Quirks/Vices ■ Daydreamy. -- Never full in the moment until another person starts speaking but even then. . . Why the girl looks as if she’s half asleep, half caught on a thought, half there. Where or where is the rest of her? ■ Superstitious. -- You don’t run a place that sells charms and curses and snake oil and not come out superstitious. Most of it is miscellany. Salt thrown over the doorstep, thumb pressed into fist upon seeing a coffin, the works. ■ Hair Twirling. -- There comes a time in conversation where Chise’s fingers can’t help but fidget. In most cases she’ll remedy this by wrapping locks of hair round and round and round her thin little finger. Sometimes, though, she’ll resort to combing through hair or even braiding.. ■ Mercurial. -- A very polite way of saying volatile. When she isn’t doing her very best to maintain her poised facade Chise can very easily go back and forth from one emotion to another. Usually this is the direct result of things not going the way she planned they would. ■ Collects Flowers. -- If Chise is out and about in the world it’s by a mix of curiosity and force of habit that she has to pluck a flower from wherever she may be. Somewhere in her room is a book with flowers pressed from all the lands she’s traversed. This isn’t limited to the first time she visits a place, either, but every time. ■ Odd Manner of Speech. -- Chise doesn’t speak Eorzean as a first language. It’s incredibly apparent. Some sentences she speaks clearly, other sentences she doesn’t. Sometimes she uses large words, sometimes her words are broken down to simplest form. Everything has to be tumbled about in Doman and assembled into something others will understand. Abilities/Skills ■ Decent Leadership Skills. -- Or, at the very least, she’s good at bringing people over to her cause. There’s a resolute nature to her that generally coaxes others into following her path. ■ Observant. -- Funny how someone so very caught up in their own head seems so very in tune with the world around them. ■ Pragmatic Thinker. -- Good and Bad aren’t things Chise bothers herself with. Worst and Best, Right and Wrong, of these Chise knows what she wants and what she should avoid. Give her time and Chise can generally devise what she thinks is the “best” outcome to a situation. ■ Magically Inclined. Need a charm? A curse? A potion? Well the last one she’d have to call her husband for but the first two she can do with ease. For someone young Chise seems to have a good deal of magical understanding and a better deal of aetheric power. Begs the question of how that happened. --

Text Summary.

■ Body: Tiny, even for a Raen. Too thin though she’s gaining ponz she’s still stuck with a chest that’s all clavicle and sternum. Underneath clothes Chise is pear in shape with legs that stand as one of her better features and thin arms that lead to clawed hands. ■ Skin: Chise might lie and say her skin is a golden brown. This of course is untrue to anyone looking, rather it’s more a russet color. For the most part she’s blessed to be without blemish with skin soft. Hands, though, are rough. Calloused fingers mostly though she’s trying to take care of her palms. Scales sit shiny, usually pristine, and meticulously cared for. One could say the contrast between skin and scale is striking. One could also say it’s strange and unsettling. One could say a great many things. ■ Hair: Almost as meticulously cared for as her scales. Cobweb white hair is sometimes windblow but never, ever dirty. It falls just to her waist though chopped carefully into bangs that now grow out with longer bits at the front dangling to about her chest. One can tell by the way she handles her hair that she is incredibly proud of it. ■ Eyes: Stark white, eerie white, the kind of thing that shouldn’t naturally fall into sockets and yet does anyway. The moons of her eyes would be too oval, too large, if not for the magenta limbal rings that ground them to her face.

■ Clothes: Tends towards clothing of well make though not necessarily fancy. Much of Chise’s attire depends on situation. If one were to find her in the shop she’s usually wearing an apron with flowers stuffed in pockets and pouches full of salt and dirt at her hem. If one were to find Chise in the city they’d find her in taffeta gowns and dangling earrings and delicate heels that clack to cobblestone. The only factor that seems to stay the same is that Chise wears a lot of white. ■ Jewelry: Chise is fond of dangling earrings like chimes hung from her horns. More recently she can be found with a number of odd and eclectic trinkets on her person. They include a necklace crafted from animal teeth, a vial of blood strung round her neck, and a bracelet made of snakeskin. On her ring finger Chise wears a wedding band that glimmers damn near obnoxiously. ■ Distinguishing Features: Chise has eerie eyes and a soft airy voice. Lips sit plump and thick on her face and are mayhap her only traditionally desirable trait. One is more likely to remember the “way” she is rather than anything distinctly physical. There’s a presence to Chise rather than distinction. Oh--Wait no. They'd probably remember the horrifying mouth full of teeth too big and too sharp. ■ Other:

Use these freely! ■ “That little Raen woman? Yes, yes, I know her. Stops by the guild every so often and buys whatever flowers no one else wants to take.” --Gridanian Botanist. ■ "Listen I’m just saying Domans are strange, yeah? Them two got their store in the 7th Ward but gods help me I can’t tell you what kind of establishment they run. A commotion there every other day, tons of people file on in on some nights. It’s just strange is all I’m sayin’." --A rather tired and perhaps paranoid neighbor. ■ “Oh! Miss Tobukizu is such a dear! Sweet one, really once you get past the scales. . .and the horns. . . And the te--Nevermind. Anyroad she gave me a little charm to place outside my garden so my tomatoes will grow. And what do you know! It’s working!” --A Pleased Housewife. ■ "Yeah Yeah, sweet young housewife who owns a shop. I get it, I get it that’s what you heard. That’s the front. Wh--Yeah you idiot! Of course it’s a front! Listen you want work under the law and you good at not wagging your tongue and that Tobukizu woman will set you up." -An impatient pickpocket. ◢ Uncommon Rumors - A little more difficult to hear. Use sparingly or ask first! ■ "Seen her walking the woods almost every day since the boat docked. Don’t trust her none, though. Swear on my mommas grave I did see her on one side of the road one moment and then the other in a lightning flash. That ain’t normal." --A Weary Wood Wailer. ■ "Lass be coming to trade words, yeah. Wh--No it ain’t about work. Not that kinda work, anyway. I’m a woman a’me word, you got that? Got good coin to keep my trap shut." --Limsan dockworker ■ “She just. . . cursed him for me, I suppose.

With other women” --A merchant’s daughter. ■ "Papers, documents, maps, bounties. She collects it all. Some of this shite is really old, too." --Junkmonger. ◢ Rare Rumors - Very rarely overheard. Please ask before using! ■ "Miss. . . Miss Tobukizu? Really? Awful thing, you stay away from her. Wasn’t always Tobukizu, nah. Was an Uranakei. Daughter of a devil, daughter of a whore, inheritor of a den of thieves and murderers. Ask them what they did in Doma. Ask." --A Rather Displeased Doman. ■ “I don’t know what to think, if we’re being honest. When I first met Chise she wasn’t Chise. Strung herself around the arm of some young Garlean soldier. She helped get us out, though. She helped get us out and I won’t let anyone say different.” --A widowed refugee. ■ “Ever get the feeling that even though someone is alone. . . They aren’t quite alone? Such is the feeling that chills my bones when I speak with Chise. It’s as if she carries something around with her but I cannot place my finger on what.” --A Ossuary Student. ◢ Player Character Rumors - Feel free to add rumors of your own! ■ Feel free to add your own rumors here!

Hidden Feelings/Unknown: This character has one of all the color keys above, but isn't fully aware of it yet. R E L A T I O N S (NPC)   Example ( ) - Nickname Explanation. R E L A T I O N S (PC)   Yorumei Uranakei (  ♥  ●  ✔ ) - Older Brother of Winds There’s a great many thing Chise would rather leave unsaid about her brother. . . And he’d probably prefer it that way. Of everyone in the wide wicked world Chise prioritizes Yorumei (who tragically considers himself expendable to her cause) partially out of familial love and partially out of deeply ingrained morals. He is a balancing force and a source of well needed perspective for her.   Kaiten Tobukizu (  ♥  ♥  ●  ✔ ) - The Husband by Fate Promised to marry Kaiten before she was so much as even born Chise has since made good on her promise with martial vows and a shiny ring. To say Chise has a sense of duty would downplay her near fanatical regard towards her husband. The only problem is that while she’s happy to make him happy she’s bitterly resentful that he limits her freedom. This bit of poison has seeped out into her words once or twice though in recent times she’s buried the dead horse and swallowed her wants. She has to keep her husband happy, after all.   Staelufre Lysmerl (  ♦  ●  ?  ✔ ) - The Woman of Blue Sea Staelufre speaking was the very first familiar feeling thing Chise had happened upon in Eorzea. It hadn’t occurred to Chise that she was even looking for Staelufre till she invited herself into her home. To say that Chise wishes to be her friend would be a gross understatement how badly she wishes to keep in Staelufre’s good graces. However, Chise is too far out of tune with her emotions and has been too pressed for time to get close to the Miqo’te.   Corbeaux Baptiste (   ♦   ♠   ?   ✔ ) - The Serpent In the Mirror Yet another person Chise didn’t know she was looking for till she found him. “Ah, there he is!” She may as well have thought when he happened upon her at the cross roads. In another life he might’ve stood in her shoes and her in his. The problem with the mirror-man is that reflection doesn’t always come a comfort to one so deeply wrapped in self loathing.   Tianh Irothi (  ♦  ●  ✔ ) - The Steadfast Survivor Tianh comes an unexpected person to Chise, having not realized how fond she would be of her till fear of losing her hit. Despite Tianh’s self deprecation and insistence she’s nothing worth fussing over the Keeper has completed everything Chise has tasked her to far beyond expectation set. Of the group Chise has assembled Tianh’s head is the most firmly set upon her shoulders. Insofar Tianh is the one Chise wants most at her side when the going gets tough. In an ideal world Chise will one day be able to admit Tianh is a friend.   Abeodan Silverbrand (  ●  ?  ✔ ) - The Rose Haired Boy For all intents and purposes Chise shouldn’t like Abeodan. Yet despite rough speech and tendency towards disorder Chise has found a fondness for The Boy. Language drives a chasm between the two, intent and most conversation getting lost through confusion and misunderstanding. In current Chise is unable to properly convey that her words and actions are an attempt to get closer to Abeodan, not to change him in some way.   Renzhen Berkuul (  ?  ?  ? ) - The Spirit There are no clear answers regarding Chise’s feelings towards Renzhen. They seem to change upon day, time, weather, and who is asking her. Sometimes Renzhen is a deplorable villain, a madwoman, a stuffed shirt with her head in the clouds. Other times Renzhen is a pleasant woman, motherly, and a person whom speaks good advice. Whatever the matter, it doesn’t matter. Chise has needed someone like Renzhen in her life for some time now and it’s a fact that Chise is well aware of.   Example ( ) - Nickname Explanation.

. ✖ P L A Y E R   I N F O ✖ ❇ I like to consider myself a Heavy Roleplayer. While I may not always be In Character roleplay is my primary motivation for logging and I will almost always prioritize it over content. Hell, I barely ever do content. When it comes to style I veer towards paragraph roleplay and as such tend to put my RP into /party so as to not disturb other players. ❇ For Combat in Roleplay:: PUNCH CHISE IN THE FACE PLEASE GODDAMN DO IT SHE DESERVES IT. Err--I mean uh. . . I prefer combat to at least be discussed. Unless I’ve known someone for a while I generally like to know if a fist is going to come flying at my character. I tend to play situations by ear so while I do like dice sometimes I like free writing. ❇ Concerning Romance RP:: I’m not going to tell you that you need my express permission for your character to crush on mine. That’s unreasonable. Plus Chise has a new crush every week. I will, however, remind you that Chise is currently married. While the subject of dalliances isn’t written off entirely from the future of her RP Chise is well. . . Chise. It’s important anyone who plays a character interested in her realize that love isn’t going to magically change her. She’s a wicked, awful person and will remain wicked and awful even through ~The Power of LoOooOoOve~. ❇ There MUST be a clear separation between IC and OOC when rping. Insults, flirting, violence or talking about characters isn't meant to be personal (ooc). What happens in roleplay it's usually best stays there.

RP HARD LIMITS

If my actions cause discomfort OOC please let me know. While it’s never my intention well. . . Sometimes intent just doesn’t matter. I’ll do my very best to change my behaviour. As a pretty upfront person you can expect that I’ll let you know my discomfort fairly fast.:

■ Do: --- Dark, creepy, and “mature” themes are totally my thing. Please, if you want to do gritty crime or creepy magic come and find me. I will say yes so fast. That being said, though, I also enjoy a good deal of humor in my RP. Things aren’t grimdark and serious all the time. It’s just not sustainable.

■ Ask: --- Disfigurement, dismemberment, harm, or anything too physical. Ideally I’d like to know if your character is going to lean in for a smooch. Not that I expect anyone to go smooching this jerk’s monster mouth. Curses and captivity are also things I’d like discussed. Basically if you think you have to ask. . . You probably should.

■ Don't: --- I’m not going to let you kill her. I’m just not. One day she’ll die in a spectacular mess at the hands of either herself, me, or someone I’ve been playing with for a long time. That day isn’t anywhere in the near future. I won’t do stupid sexy torture. I won’t do sexual assault as she’s a fairly public figure and usually it’s grossly sexualized. Too close to home. Don’t ask for it. Don’t push that boundary.
