Shy and reserved to most, it takes a while to get this young Au Ra girl comfortable around people. Once she opens up to people, many find Enrei to be a kind, yet determined (or stubborn) girl. She has a strong sense of justice, and places the safety of others above all else.
It takes a very determined individual to get to know Enrei, but if your interested please continue...
TRAITS
SHY:
Enrei is incredibly reserved around people she's unfamiliar with. She'll look down, act timid, and speak softly, all because this is a person she's unfamiliar with. This aspect of her personality weakens as she gets closer to people, however that reserved manner of hers sticks around for the most part.
APOLOGETIC:
Enrei tends to be a little uncertain of herself as well, panicking over the smallest details of what she might do wrong. When she does do something wrong, you'll find her bowing her head and apologizing profusely.
QUICK TO ACT:
Whenever something occurs where people are in danger Enrei is always the first to rush to the scene if she can. Her typical uncertainty tossed out the window, if Enrei can help, she'll be out there doing her best. This isn't to say that she's impulsive, as she does consider first whether or not its a good idea to go using all the information available to her, the decision is just made very fast...
FRIENDLY:
Despite her shyness, Enrei is generally nice to strangers and her friends alike.
WHY SHE CAME TO EORZEA
Enrei was the only child of a prominent merchant and fishing family. Sheltered and spoiled, Enrei was treated like a princess by her mother and father, and she didn't have a problem with it either until one day the subject of marriage was brought up. Being the only child, and a daughter at that it was expected that she would marry the son of a smaller fishing business and carry on the family name. She knew this growing up, she thinks, but when her arranged marriage was brought up she was suddenly not okay with the idea and ran away from home. To this day she's not entirely sure of why she did it, but refuses to turn back anyways. To cover that up she'll sometimes claim that she was just a pawn used to further her family name, but when asked further about it she'll admit it was a bit of an exaggeration. Since leaving her family she has taken up the study of magic, and the title of adventurer.

OTHER TRIVIA
Between the ages of 6-12, Enrei would sneak out of her room every Friday and go fishing with her father. This was kept secret from her mother.
Even though cherry blossoms, peach blossoms, and plum blossoms look similar, Enrei prefers the look of plum blossoms for their cute round shape and the darker array of colors they can be found in.
Her hair lightens towards the ends by a shade or two, this is a trait inherited from her mother.
Enrei is a picky eater, disliking foods because they don't look pretty or they're too bitter. On that note, eggs are her absolute least favorite food due to their sulfur like smell and bad taste.
She has a love hate relationship with fish currently. On one hand, she loves it and every dish made with fish, on the other it reminds her a little too much of the home she's trying to run away from.
She finds the outfit that she wears (Minfilia's Antecedent's Attire) extremely embarrassing. She had bought it from a merchant who claimed it would "Boost her confidence and make her less shy." She's not so sure its really working as she's constantly worrying about how her stomach is exposed and how embarrassing that is, but she likes the colors and may have some slight hopes that it is making her more confident.
Enrei has not yet had her first kiss.

If this is your characters first time meeting Enrei, the following are some approaches your character could take to get to know her.
"Hey there cutie." - Flirt
Watching a young girl get all confused and embarrassed your thing? Just hitting on girls in general your thing? Go ahead and flirt with Enrei. This could roll into a session of teasing the girl for her adorable actions, inviting her out for a drink, or whatever fits you. Flirting is just a casual way to get her attention and to strike up a conversation. Caution on flirting too much though, she might read a little more into it then you want her to. Note: Please feel free to flirt with Enrei if your a girl too! She'll probably just brush it off as you being friendly unless you bluntly tell her your interested in her.
