Occupation... Messenger, Deliverywoman, Shrine Maiden
Chizuri is delicate, small-boned as a bird and diminutive in stature. She finds herself looking up to the rest of the world, where doe-eyes shine bright of rose pink and honey. Fluffy bangs are bounded in loose green bands, while the back is kept luscious and long and near reaches a dainty waist. Her figure is nothing breathtaking, more blessed with gentle curves and elegance rather than shapely fullness. Unlike most of her kin, pale scales act in contrast to her darker skin, decorating along her legs, arms, hips and neck. Two sloping horns frame an oval face topped with a button nose and lightly flushed cheeks. Darkened lips are often strained into a thin line, rarely curving or dipping at the corners. All in all, her appearance holds one of innocence, if not impassive and detached.
Mannerisms Each stride taken is measured. She moves at a glacial pace, easily falling behind in steps if her companions are caught unaware. Having been disciplined at a very young age, one would consider this individual to be immoderately polite and delivers herself with grace. Though she isn't without her fidgets and thumb twiddles while faced with an uncomfortable or awkward situation.
Markings: She doesn't seem the type to be seeking danger, yet with chance what lies beneath her front bangs is an intricate design of scales. A half flower of sorts, but the very centre piece appears chipped.
Passive : When engaging in social interactions, Chizuri is not one to express herself very well, especially in the presence of strangers and acquaintances. She doesn't grow irate when being belittled, nor do others get much of a reaction while cracking a joke. Her expressions are more often than not deadpan, and the girl always has a rather blank stare on her face. Many see it as aloofness, while some others assume a strange calmness and overwhelming amount of patience. To a few and the perspective, she struggles deeply with her emotions.
Empathetic : There is a gentle kindness about her. A thoughtfulness where she tries to consider those and all around her. Chizuri doesn't necessarily put herself below others, but she goes out of her way to help wherever and whenever she can. She has seen the cruelty of this realm and how it can change a person for the worse. Being kind and and understanding is the best she can offer.
Sheepish : Excitement causes her to shy away. Forwardness makes her uncomfortable. Compliments fluster her, and any attempts at flirtation? Well... best to the poor girl be. Chizuri is unbelievably shy and has a terrible habit of hiding behind objects or familiar bodies to avoid eye contacts from strangers. She wishes to makes friends, but her social ineptitude puts her in quite the predicament.
Naive : Chizuri is a little too trusting of others, unless they are quick to prove her wrong based on first or second impressions. She believes in the genuineness of the heart and her faith makes her an easy target for careful manipulation.
Diligent : She does what she can to the best of her abilities and strives to go further, if at all possible. It gives her a meaning in life to work with great effort, and sometimes acts as a distraction for the forthcoming.

'My mother. I have not seen her since I was five summers old.. She left Papa for another man. Eloped, as they say. I... I do not know how I feel about her exactly but... she is the reason why Papa changed so...'
'Master Noshiko took me in as a disciple when I had nothing left. He cared for me, gave me a duty... a purpose in life. His words ring with truth and integrity, leading those who choose to follow him with welcoming arms. He is a wise man, a man of age but a man of pure heart.'
'I hold my memories of him very close to my heart. He was taken away from me too soon, but Papa still protects me even if death. His spirits rests with me... and I wish nothing but to let him rest in peace.'
'Inori is one of my first friends I made here in Eorzea... she is someone to behold. Kind, confident and ingenious. I admire her resolve and how well she has adapted to these lands. However... I cannot help but feel she misses home too dearly. Perhaps I can revive a fragment of her past, for fonder memories and recollection.'
'After my father passed away, I focused on distancing myself from others and all. None needed to sacrifice their cherished time for naught. Yet, he still reached for me while I pushed. I... could not understand why. I could not avoid him either, given circumstances and duties bound. He was uncomfortable to speak to and I wished nothing more than to be left be. Now? Under the stars and jewel-toned skies, we promised to continue our journey together, in mind and in heart. I never did think I could... bring myself to love someone, but I love him so... my saviour, my hero, my one and all. He deserves everything I can give and I want to keep him smiling, safe and happy.'
'Ser Vas is... a man of mystery. Although I have yet to see his face, I find his presence warm and welcoming. He was kind to suggest a place of rest, somewhere Masabi and I would likely be visiting during our travels to Thanalan. There are unspoken words, ones of privacy that seem to cause him unrest... but I shall respect his wishes and pray he be well.'
'A shinobi? Those are my presumptions from our encounters and what little I know. In a way, I see us similar and I wonder of her past. She is quiet... a gentle company to have when our paths do meet.'
'... He isn't one I can describe so simply. A calm in the wind. A singing voice unlike any other. A craft that both unsettles and intrigues me. A selflessness that I.. find worrisome, though am thankful for all the help he has provided to Masabi and I. Perhaps one sun, without omens and dire straits... we can enjoy one another's company for what it is. I would... like to see myself as his friend, i-if he wishes the same."

I am always happy to discuss anything RP wise and establish prior relationships. Have an idea? Do send a tell!
Present Days
❀ Chizuri resides in a small Doman camp close to Bentbranch Meadows in the Shroud. All are welcomed, whether to rest weary feet, to quench curiousities or offer business propositions. As that is her temporary home, she is often seen around that area.
❀ She acts a messenger or deliverywoman for small orders. Have something that needs to be sent or received? There is a possibility that Chizuri may arrive at your character's doorsteps.
❀ Is your character aether-sensitive? It is likely that they will pick up something ominous about her.
Early Days - Life in Othard
❀ The 'Kinkagu' shrine was in a very secluded area surrounded by forests and mountains. However, the occasional adventurer may find themselves lost in those winding paths and hope to seek shelter somewhere
❀ Before she landed up in the 'Kinkagu' shrine, she used to travel around Doma with her father, someone who was reputable for being a 'justice-bringer'. She was a tiny thing following in her father's footsteps.
Personal RP Limits
❀ I will play a vast majority of dark and mature themes (violence, sexuality, gore and drug / alcohol use) as long as they're logical in a plot-driven encounter. Fighting, assassination attempts, temporary injury and short-term imprisonment are a-okay. Slice-of-life, light-hearted and simplistic stories are equally favored too. Walk-up encounters are more than welcomed but please do send a tell first! It is likely I am afk or alt-tabbed.
❀ Ask about long-term injury, scarring, mental tampering/control, captivity or imprisonment. All in all, anything that might render my character unplayable for a period of time.
❀ I won't play permanent/temporary character death, rape, disfigurement or crippling of my character.
