Elise Blackheart is a Highlander Hyur, who was born in Ala Mhigo. Through the fall of Ala Mhigo, she found herself on a journey to Ul'dah, where she began to learn her martial skills that she uses now to secure herself a job as an adventurer or mercenary. With a rather vague request from her fallen friend, Emiline, Elise quietly seeks someone who's worthy of a paladin's soul crystal, along with her friend's old sword and shield. Although she uses it temporarily until she gets a blade of her own, she hadn't quite realized that Emiline meant Elise herself. As such, she still works as a mercenary and adventurer as a means of survival. Her life is devoted to the disciplines of war, often able to pick up many weapons and use them to great capabilities.

Recently employed by the Desert Fangs, Elise can be seen in the Goblet in their own headquarters, where she also resides in her new room. If out and about, she could be easily seen training or doing a job, or just outright enjoying a drink.

History

History

Past

Past

Having come from Ala Mhigo, there was no doubt that Elise was inspired already to learn battle. The battle for Ala Mhigo however, was one that spiraled a darker disdain that Elise keeps hidden, quietly blaming the Garleans' actions for the lack of family. Having been driven from her home, with her parents deciding to stay behind for the sake of resistance, Elise found herself shoved towards the arid land of Thanalan with a trusted family friend.

Still, she could learn of the Ala Mhigan ways that she never truly experienced herself, and learn the life that the Garleans unfortunately took away from her.

When she grew of age to hold a weapon, she displayed a fiery determination in learning how to fight. Given the stream of various people walking in and out of Ul'dah, she was given the right connections to start her path in learning the martial path that she sought. First-- she picked up the sword, and since then, found her affinity within blades.

Elise wandered around, joining various mercenary and adventuring groups for gil, before finding the confidence to take on solo jobs.

Present

Present

Elise found herself a job within the Desert Fangs. As one of the new mercenaries, she looks for opportunities to meet other likeminded adventurers, prepared for a job or offering her assistance to anyone in need.

Although she hasn't officially done a job for the Desert Fangs yet, she'd gladly do anything by herself to assist others-- should the task align with her morals.

Once again in Thanalan, she awaits a new adventure, finding herself--for the time being-- financially secure enough to relax.

Personality

Personality

Nature & Demeanor

Nature & Demeanor

Elise may not be the best social paragon out there, but she strives to include people into her conversations, and try to usher others to speak up and have their limelight. She often stands with crossed arms or hands in her pockets. Casual is a good way to describe Elise, often not too bothered by anything that could usually be considered impolite-- unless, of course, it was a direct attack on her own self. But even then, she still also can't exactly help but butt in and try to be silly.

For anyone who catches her eye, Elise tries to be charming, but...well, others do it better than her.

Elise hopes to be a good person, and isn't afraid of lending help and aid to anyone in need. In such, she's more liberal and open-minded in certain viewpoints, perhaps even coming off as possibly apathetic unless it involves her. The Highlander is rather accepting of what people do, as long as it won't wrong others. Under pressure, Elise might still try to hide any disappointment or anger with smiles and jokes. Then, her face may become flustered. But anywhere beyond that would earn Elise's legitimate ire.

What often isn't seen, is her far more serious side. In much of a quiet manner, her face often returns to that stoic, cold glare that she always seemed to resort to, and the lack of charm grows much more apparent. Although she is often in good spirits when around others.

Fiercely loyal, Elise will do anything to protect anyone she cares about, often willing to shoulder burdens and offer her sword and shield within the blink of an eye.

Appearance

Appearance

Tall. That was definitely one thing that could immediately come to mind. Elise has height. As such, that could leave her to stand as an imposing figure. Naturally, Elise has red hair (although once blonde!). She often leaves her bangs to cover some of her eyes, as she often has the rest of her long hair hang over her shoulder. There are signs of muscle on her body, perhaps as an indication with all of the physical activity that Elise goes through. At the same time, Elise is curvaceous, and is frankly unafraid of using that fact to shamelessly flirt when all of flirts go wrong. (Most of the time, they probably do.)

If she can help it, she tends to avoid the burning sun of Thanalan, and most of her adventures take her out and about throughout Eorzea, which helps in keeping her skin color lighter, rather than sunkissed.

Elise's eyes are a cold, icy blue that helps with the intimidation factor. Not to mention, the scar on her eye. Although, all signs of intimidation are likely melted away by the silly smile Elise might have on her face.

Scars & Markings: A scar on her eye that she doesn't seem to really talk about.

Voice: Perhaps as a contradiction to what would be her intimidating height, Elise's voice is pleasant, lighthearted, and easy to the ears.

Clothing: "Hey, look! It all depends on the situation! Of course I'm going to wear armor when I need it! Otherwise, flattering or attractive or something!" Elise practically wears anything she feels like on a whim. Although, her common casual clothes often involve tights and long coats or long sleeved shirts. She isn't afraid to deviate to anything more revealing, but it typically depends on what she exactly feels like for the day.

Abilities

• Martial Prowess: Elise is a fighter first and foremost. She knows how to handle herself very well in a fight.
• Basic first-aid: Something that Elise has picked up as a mercenary and adventurer, just for the small things that wouldn't and shouldn't require the expenditure of someone's energy and aether.

Combat

Combat

If one thing was to be said about Elise-- she knew how to fight. Was that surprising? She came from Ala Mhigo, after all. Regardless, she prides herself in her ability to fight. While she knows usage on various weapons, she knows how to fight best with a sword in hand. Her physical prowess is nothing to scoff at.

That being said, while she is a great fighter, she isn't exactly completely refined for magic. Magic is possible, but don't expect her to be hurling fireballs and meteors. She'd need quite a bit of training on that.

Juno Iskandi ♥♥ ●
Desert Fangs

Elise has grown to enjoy Juno's companionship already, and truthfully, she'd only recently met Juno. To say that Elise had an aspect of physical attraction to Juno was...an understatement. Juno is the leader of the Desert Fangs, and recently employed Elise. As such, Elise respects Juno as her boss and leader. Having grown close, the two have developed into a (unofficial) relationship with each other. Elise's feelings for Juno have grown past just a physical attraction.

Acquaintances (PC)

Ayla Thatcher ●
The Adventure League of Eorzea

A bard that Elise had met in the Drowning Wench one night. They had a conversation over books of the adventure genre. Briefly bonding over that, Elise has a positive experience with the patient bard. Through coincidence, they managed to meet again at the Drowning Wench. As usual, they still mostly bond over books.

Fhilwyda Eyrihaerzwyn ●
Might and Magitek

A friend of Ayla's. Elise met Fhilwyda when she dropped off a borrowed book at Ayla's room-- and then again at Might and Magitek bars. Elise managed to lift Fhilwyda's gigantic axe in a third meeting at the Drowning Wench.
