Character

Personality

A Keeper brimming with the youthful liquor of potential. A soft & sweet initial disposition, beckoning and inviting in all natures. She keeps her congregations tightly knit and on her own terms if she can help it. Yet at times that proud mantle is continually shaken by convolutions of her past or by others thus thrusting her out into the whorl of the world. She speaks and does as instructed by her mentor; Malric Delacoure. Her deliverance can give one the impression of someone wise beyond her years. She speaks with a slight accent and of her own dialect (she spent nearly 4 years within the company of Seekers, also spending a lot of time around Elezen). She has a hard time with figures of speech, innuendos or other languages not her own. She bears the burden of a family name that drives her story as much as it holds her back. Above all, she believes in self-progression and everything she does is done so in a way to advance her position. She keeps few close these days for fear of their safety. She is selfish, a little brash at times. Seeing only strength in others and finding little need for the rest or those who she sees as weak.

Aetherically, she suffers from a unique condition that renders her as a 'reservoir' of sorts, taking on -any- amount of aether and being able to expend it and potentially amplify in turn. Thus she is very much dependent on her emotional well being to keep her aether repressed at all times. Her condition is as much a gift as it is a curse, one that ended up being the death of her mother and likely will be the same for her - should her story delve down that path. Her personal story at this time is driven by the need to seek her own freedom, her own strengths, conquer weakness and to break away from the ideal that she's more than just a weapon. She's her own life, and one worth living at that..

Random quotes Enova's either said, or simply remind me of her character as a whole:

“Few understand freedom. One is born to a set of circumstances and then makes what is best from life given. Freedom isn't being without responsibility, nor having the open sky over your head. Is knowing that you have the ability to choose what is important to you - and learning to fight for it.”

"“Fear is a paralyzing emotion. You can't get anything done. People sort of think it's an intriguing, natural and reactive feeling — I don't think it's any of that. Is a helpless absence of control. If I am to survive in this world, I need all of my skills, all in my control, all of my powers ... and fear? Fear doesn't provide any of that — I have no use for it. My enemies however.. hmm, now there's a thought.""

"I find scars beyond beautiful. Wordless little reminders of what we've been through, suffered, survived and above all... moved on from. From them have emerged the strongest souls. I for one, choose not to die without any scars."

"I beg you... to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don't search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. The point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer"

Strengths ■ Advanced aetherical potential (untapped) ■ Manipulating, Charming, Cunning ■ Diplomatic and well spoken ■ Pleasing in all initial interactions

Weaknesses ■ Self-serving and quick to cast judgment ■ Extremely vulnerable without her enchantments ■ Physically inept for rigorous combat ■ Young - she sees her inexperience as weakness

Motivations ■ Freedom - Above all things she desires most is the freedom to absolved from the invisible chains that bind her. ■ Personal Advancement - She in continually finding ways to better herself in strength, combat, mind, body and soul. ■ Power - At the core root of her, she secretly desires power over other. Whether it be through social standing, manipulation, her own aetherical strengths or other means. She loves to be in control.

Combat

General

As mentioned earlier, Aetherically, Enova suffers from a unique condition that renders her as a 'reservoir' of sorts, taking on -any- amount of aether and being able to expend it (and potentially amplify) in turn. Her own aether pool is relatively normal by most standards but as a vessel she is able to take on immense amounts that would kill a man easily.. and then some more. At the time, it's assumed her intake is limitless. Thus she is very much dependent on her emotional well being to keep her aether repressed at all times. She is almost wearing some kind of aether-repressing enchantment in her attire – the purpose of the enchantment designed to keep her focused and stable. Without these enchantments she is somewhat unpredictable in nature, her emotions easily get the best of her and if pressed far enough, she can act without intent. ANY emotion that renders a large emotional response from her can be deadly, whether it be fear, anger, sadness... even pleasure, all put her and others at risk.

Her condition is as much a gift as it is a curse, one that ended up being the death of her mother; Halo Sahn. It is believed her condition, the same one that her daughter shares - was used as a weapon of sorts. It's hinted she was filled with an immense amount of aether and basically detonated like a bomb but little has been revealed further at this time. Her mother's murder was per-meditated and it's assumed the one's responsible for her death are still around and relevant.

As far as combat goes.. she is unskilled and untrained in any physical form of combat thus she avoids it at all costs. Preferring others to do the fighting for her. It's not very often she is left alone and unprotected. She is schooled in basic restoration conjury, drawing on the life elements of the earth adding to her own ability to heal and mend wounds, restore energy and to fortify/enhance others or herself.

Weapons: (WIP) Enova is currently having a staff made IC but until that in game arc is complete I will leave this blank for now!

Relationships

♥ Romantic Interest    ♥ Sexual Desire    ♥ Platonic Love     ● Good Standing    ● Neutral Standing    ● Poor Standing

♥♥ Caex'ra Vaeriar -

●● Malric Delacoure

♥● Arrelaine Fashonti - Enova's half-sister on her fathers side. The two really are polar opposites in all ways, looks, demeanor... everything. The two were reunited, somewhat awkwardly after the events of the calamity. Though the two don't always see one another often, Enova would do anything to ensure her sister's safety considering she is still kin to her - though exempt from her mother's side of the family curse.

●● [FC]Harbingers of Dawn - This one is a little more complicated. Enova joined the Harbingers earlier this year on a temporary basis after making a substantial donation to the company as a whole, somewhat securing her and her half-sister residency. The act of joining the company itself was used as an alibi. A distraction to avoid some unnecessary heckling with the Twin Adder Militia who, at the time, were hounding Enova to join after her second year of studies in Gridania. Needless to say, temporary or not she ended up making friends within the company, yet her time with time with them was cut short when Enova first left for Coerthas with Malric. Cutting all ties with the company, assuring herself it was 'for their own safety'. Since then she finds the company tolerable at best, but is known to make remarks about the corruption within or snarky words about certain individuals who are tasked with 'serving and protecting' it's members.

● Kylar Dashiva - If Enova had to have a best friend, it would probably be Kylar. He's been there for her through the best and worst of times. She feels comfortable enough telling him pretty much anything, in return he treats her above and beyond probably what she deserves. By comparison Enova is always forward with him, sometimes to the point of being rude. She's quick to tell him when she thinks he's being careless, or at the same time, not challenging himself enough. Enova doesn't keep many friends, Kylar being one of the few she genuinely cares about - even if her actions suggest otherwise at times.

●● L'vi Lyrre - A Seeker Enova met while staying in Ul'dah before she departed with Malric to Coerthas. What at -first- seemed like it would be a lasting friendship, almost to the point where Enova was positively fascinated with the woman... quickly turned sour. The woman ended up making quite a bit of gil of Enova's oblivious and innocent demeanor. Selling her off to some Elezen... (long story). She may or may not have hired a mercenary to 'return the favor' as of lately.

● Lan Darklyn - Enova dislikes this Seeker with a heated passion. Even at first interaction she'd never fully trusted him, a short while later he attempted to take the Keeper and her sister's life, albeit he was under Garlean influence. Shortly after Enova asked to speak with the man in private with intent to take his life for what he'd done to her and her half-sister - however she was thwarted. Despite Lan's attempts to reconcile with the woman she has refused all and everything from him. He considers himself in debt to her, she thinks he's still better off dead.

Rumors

Common Rumors

• "Yah I tried to "court" the girl so to speak, thought she seemed pretty interested too at first - then she just got all uppity, gave me the cold shoulder and she was gone. Not sure if it was me or what, guess I'll never know."
• "Sure she's little spoiled at times, because of... well you know... but that kinda money don't last forever."
• "Hmm... she's certainly not around as much as she used to be, wonder what she's been up to?"

Moderate Rumors

• "Only reason I know the name Enova Sahn is because of her mother, Halo Sahn. Hells, half the Gridanian militia knows what Halo did for us at Carteneau. Her daughter's a half-step at best and it's a bloody shame too."
• "If you ask me, something's not right about that one. I've heard things about an Elezen she's with out in Coerthas - calls him her mentor? Just sounds weird an Elezen and Miqo'te spending so much time together up north."
• "She spends a lot of time with that axe-wielding Keeper she met at the Grindstone. Hired him as a bodygaurd of sorts I've heard. Still, for hired help the sure seem attached at the hip lately. Then again... that is a big axe."

Rare Rumors

PC Rumors

• "Enova? Ahh now there is an interesting young lady. Beautiful in mind and body if you ask me. She seems to be very inquisitive about the world around her, but I fear she is still a bit too young to be left to her own devices just yet. I try to keep an eye on her when I can either personally or through hired help." - Kyler Dashiva
