Description

Appearance

Height: 6'5"

Hair Colour: Red with copper highlights.

Complexion: Smooth albastar.

Build: Willowy and seemingly frail, however she is just very thin.

Distinctive Marks

There is a small beauty mark beneath the outer corner of her right eye.

Equipment/Apparel

Eva has a fondness for sundresses, however they're not always practical, so she will wear robes over them when necessary.

Abilities

The woman is a very studeous Arcanist, with a natural aptitude for the form of magic. Although she takes the study of such magic seriously, it is much like an artform to her, performing her spells more like painting or dancing then casting. Many find this approach odd, as she is incredibly reliant upon Arcanium to survive, however her mentor chose to embrace her expression and encourage it.

She is versed in Conjury, though only in its relation to Arcanium, as many from Gridania often start learning such magic first before branching out to other methods. She seems rather hesitant to continue any further studies, however, and avoids the Fane.

Ghealach - a Selene Fairy.

Personality

Motivations: Eva is driven by Creation, using her knowledge of Arcanium to not only make the standard constructs, but to create art with storytelling - she uses Arcanium to make aetheric illusions of her narrations. Because of her reliance upon Arcanium and her passion for it being an artform, she strives for an Understanding of magic and is driven to learn more and press the boundaries of the school. Although her life may seem like it was largely disrupted by what happened when she was thirteen, Eva is a Gridanian, and strives for Balance/Peace within herself and her surroundings, making her seem quite serene. This also tends to lead her toward Beneficence, as she wants others to be at peace as well.

Disposition: The woman is calm and even-tempered, and highly curious.

Outlook: Despite what some may think of the path of her life, Eva is a very hopeful and trusting soul.

Sexuality: Unconcerned.

Hobbies: Eva has a number of hobbies, though most of them she doesn't let people know about. She enjoys dancing with Guillaume, and is very shy about doing so publicly; however, if it's raining in the Shroud and they're alone, chances are they'll be dancing together.

Though she rarely performs publicly, she has a very beautiful soprano singing voice. Eva has trained with bards, but is a troubadour herself, as she has never learned to use a bow and has no ability with archery. Guillaume can sometimes coax her into singing for others, but the majority of the time she only sings for him and her summons.

There are a number of artistic pursuits that Eva has come to enjoy, all related to her expansion of the use of Arcanium. She writes poetry, riddles, and stories along with apparently having learned calligraphy and painting. She loves storytelling and blending these visual arts with her Arcanium, however she only seems to do so after being convinced by Guillaume to tell a tale; it's almost as if she has stage fright.

Personality Traits: She is honest and responsible, if a little pragmatic at times, though she can be a bit impractical when Guillaume is involved. In some ways, she is a contradiction, as she is very focused, deliberate, and thoughtful when she is engaged in anything involving studying her art; however, she is otherwise somewhat capricious and impulsive, especially when Guillaume begins to make suggestions. On her own, she will often be overly-cautious, however with Guillaume's gentle persuasion, Eva will become more daring and even a bit reckless. For the more part, Eva is very open-minded and adaptable, though there are some things that she will be relentless about - her pursuit of her artform, the traditions of the Shroud, the protection of the weak, and Guillaume's interests. She is incredibly empathic, likely due to being so in-tune with her own emotions, which makes her very supportive and altruistic, almost to a fault; Guillaume often has to draw the line for Eva, to keep her from harming herself in her attempts to care for others - including himself. While she was torn away from her family at a young age, her brief upbringing in a noble Gridanian household makes Eva very cultured and courteous, while her travels with Guillaume and her intense passion for her art have made her somewhat charming; something keeps her modest, as she is reluctant to show many of her talents, often having to be coaxed by the man she travels with before revealing them. The woman is more of a listener than a talker, though she will speak her mind when needed, and give advice when asked. While Eva is not precisely shy, she usually is not the first to speak, and tends to observe in large groups rather than be the one leading the party - she leaves that to Guillaume. Although she seems to be something of an open-book with her heart on her sleeve, there are moments when she will seem incredible cryptic and evasive, as if some topics are just not open for discussion. Eva may be rather down-to-earth and hold to many of the Gridanian traditions, however there are aspects of her views that are rather shocking, and her time with Guillaume has made her quite a freethinker.

Misc. Quirks: Eva seems extremely tied to her summons, so much so that they move almost in tandem, frequently seeming to look at things almost in unison or moving towards something almost in unison. This is often unsettling to even seasoned Arcanists, and even more so to common folk who don't understand Arcanists well.

Though very, very few people know of it, Eva talks in her sleep sometimes - she has even begun casting spells in her sleep. Guillaume has to sometimes silence her for her own safety, and praises the Twelve that she doesn't also sleepwalk.

Relationships

Previous

Eva was born into one of the Houses of Gridania, however her connection to them was severed when she was very young. She will not speak of them, unless someone notes her social graces; she is incredibly well mannered, knows which silverware is used first at the Bismark, understands law beyond its basics, and carries herself in a manner that her companion tends to call "far too classy for her own good".

Currently

She travels with a gentleman whom she states saved her from being lost in the woods, however most who meet the pair cannot fathom why she would allow a former poacher to travel with her.

Éan - an apple green feathered chocobo.
