Character
Motto
"Don't waste your time, or time will waste you."
Corelyn is intent on spending every moment possible on improving herself and her knowledge. This goes hand-in-hand with most everything she does.
Appearance
Corelyn is a short, slight girl in her mid-twenties. She's not one to stand out very quickly in a crowd, keeping a somewhat plain appearance at a glance. She wears black eyeliner and lipstick, and her tightly-kept blonde hair is tipped in black, the rest bearing similar dark highlights, bangs kept just long enough so as to completely obscure her forehead. She has very faint markings beside each eye, though it is difficult to tell what they are from a distance, if one could notice them at all. At a closer glance, they would appear to cover some sort of scars. It is unclear if she does or does not have any further tattoos or markings. She has various piercings up and along her ears. A pair of dark-rimmed glasses always perches atop her nose, her teal eyes gazing studiously forth from behind them, perpetually analysing her surroundings, as if de-constructing everything around her down to numbers and figures.
She keeps to modest clothing to avoid unwanted attention, hiding a more protective layer of light armour beneath to protect her in her travels. She is never seen without a tome, grimoire, or other such book, as well as multiple writing implements kept safe in a satchel at her waist.
Behaviour
Corelyn tends to be fairly awkward in social situations, and therefore avoids them more often than not though there are some few occasions where she may be baited into conversation. She is highly analytical and incredibly blunt, often seeming to be picking people apart in her head. Despite this, she frequently overlooks or outright ignores social cues and mannerisms. Generally well-meaning and well-mannered besides, she is typically rather pleasant company, provided she is not busy with some book or contraption. She is fascinated by technology - Allagan or Garlean - and has a tendency to get quite excitable when talking about it.
History
Much of Corelyn's earlier history is a mystery. She has nothing to say about much of it, usually waving it off as unimportant. What is known, however, is that most recollection or record of her in Eorzea begins shortly after the Calamity. She has done work with the Arcanists' Guild in Limsa Lominsa, and has travelled a good deal in search of Allagan ruins and abandoned Garlean facilities to study the magicks and technologies of each or either. She is known to have hired or taken up with various companies of mercenaries and scholars in order to further her pursuit of knowledge, often delving into ruins or abandoned facilities.
Combat
Corelyn displays next to no actual skill in combat, though few have ever even seen her in situations where she must defend herself. Having little natural skill with aether-manipulation of any sort, it is incredibly difficult for her to manifest magical means of self-defense. She tends to hire help in that area, but often can outsmart potential opponents before risking any sort of dangerous confrontation. Though, it has been said that on occasion, she's managed to manifest a spell or two. This may or may not, however, be true.
