"It was from my Father's stories that I grew to love the potential that the world had, and it's through my father's stories that I carry and unending hunger for knowledge and the perseverance to find my place in this world. I am a woman who refuses to fall under society's expectations; driven to present myself as someone who can be relied upon to defend Eorzea against all who threaten to tear our freedoms from our grasps." -An Excerpt from Lyriah's Journal

Resting in Ishgard.

Habits: Feather has a few little quirks:

Becomes shy, if complemented too heavily, and will oftedn put her self down,if somoen gives her too much praise. She will give them praise to change the subject.
Spacing out: Feather has had a rather tedious past, and often finds her self dwelling on it, in fears it may return to claim her. She spends copious amounts of time trying to learn and better herself, from past mistakes. She often will loose herself in thought, or daydreams about how things could have been, and where she wishes her life to go.

Some from battles, others abuse, most notably at the scars on her face Three, two on either cheek, and on just under her left eye. Her torso bares the worst of them, a cash from her collar to her navel, given to her by Siegfried, when she was told she needed to kill him, and a stab wound just above her heart, where a dear friend plunged his dagger, after having gone mad.

Clothing: Feather, loves clothing, and dressing up in it. She never had the ability to do so growing up beyond her dancing silks, and even as a young adult was far to poor to afford nice things. This changed when she began serving in Ishgard. Dresses, silken robes, even armor was provided to her, and she loves wearing them. She is still humble and while she might wear something pretty for an evening or for fun, she does like to default to simple and standard clothing, if she can get away with it.

'Weston Karnelle (♥ ✖ ● ) - '
Father: Lyriah's father and possibly the largest influence on her yet. Weston travelled the known continent using his love for music to pay his way through. After settling down with Lyriah's Mother, he entertained his young daughter with stories of heroism and fabled beasts. Once Flarah died from disease, he was never the same man again and died a broken man.

'Flarah Karnelle (♥ ✖ ● ) - '
Mother: Flarah was dedicated to Lyriah growing into a woman who was capable of anything she wanted to be. Lyriah found her mother's teaching to be tedious but managed to learn many important skills from her, including reading, writing, basic arythmatic and sewing. Unfortunatly with the influx of refugee's from Ala Mihgo, sickness spread amongst the lower classes and Flarah soon fell ill. Weston frantically went to any healer that could help her but without the gil to purchase her medicine, she passed away from fever.

'Eranore Rivers (♥ ✖ ● ) - '
Half-Brother: Eranore was unknown to Lyriah for twenty years of her life. It wasn't until he had found out about her did the two finally have a chance to meet. The reunion wasn't sweet, however, Eranore carried resentment towards Lyriah for a good time which ushered him to lash out at her and her attempts to know him better. Their relationship wouldn't improve until after Lyriah found Eranore on the brink of death in the middle of an Ul'dahn street. Knowing his occupation, she quickly took him home and cared for him, once better he began to visit her more regularly and eventually care for her as his sister.

History

Lyriah's history extends as far back as the beginnings of 1.0, as thus many of the things that were are no longer.

Family History

Flarah before she died.

Weston both young and before he died.

Lyriah's half brother Eranore.

It was said that Lyriah's parents came from very different lifestyles, her father growing up on the docks of Limsa before dashing off to begin life as a wandering minstrel while her mother grew up in a middle-class family to one of Gridanias more successful merchant families. Weston met her mother, Flarah, when he took a detour to Gridania and played for the ladies who attended at Mih Khettos Amphitheatre. When they met, a love bloomed that forced the couple to elope after much resistance from Flarah's father. Within the fortnight they were wed and settled down in Ul'dah to start a family. Sadly illness stole Flarah away early in Lyriah's life and with his soul mate gone, Weston lost his luster for life and passion for music. To pay for the funerary debts, he took up work with the miners guild at Nanawa Mines before part of the structure collapsed and he was lost in the chaos.

Eranore "Venomheart" Rivers was born to Alyson Rivers who bore him out of wedlock, his father being Weston during his more 'free roaming' days and had no knowledge of his birth. Alyson's father feared to have his family's name put to shame so he married his daughter off to a lower class merchant who abused the new status as much as he did his wife and step-son. Years growing with this built his character to be cruel and cold only having a care for himself. After he had grown to an adult he promptly had his step-father 'removed' from the family before disappearing. He is said to work in the black markets of Ul'dah where he will sell anything for a price.

Personal History (Pre-Calamity)

Lyriah was granted the chance for adventure when she was eighteen names days old. She had come to the realization that Ul'dah was no longer the gem of promise it had once been and so she sought to explore to Limsa where her father had lived.

It wasn't long before she found herself without a gil to her name and in a strange city. She happened across a Highlander woman in trouble and aided her and a Midlander man who was present later. Lyriah's efforts were appreciated and in turn, she was granted the opportunity to work for Sanctus Refero, a trading company within the hulls of the Astalicia.

Several moons passed before things started changing at the company. There were disagreements between members of a group known as the Eorzean Guard and Sanctus, during the times of unease, Lyriah was promoted to Head of Security to oversee events held and ensuring the safety of all who attended. However, the prosperity of Sanctus ran dry when Alona disappeared and most were forced to find new employment.

Her closest friend Navei founded Nebulous and encouraged her to join him. She did and held a similar role, making sure transactions between the firm and their customers went smoothly. Close to the calamity things began going sour, the company having to even turn on one of their own to survive but the peace didn't last after so the company was disbanded and Lyriah found herself back in Limsa where she lived until the battle at Cartenaeu.

She marched into battle expecting it to be her last. By some miracle of the divines she survived the attack and traveled north to escape the devastation behind her; building a shelter which eventually turned into a home and it was there she resided for five years...

Post-Calamity

Fate seemed to drag Lyriah back into her old life, which she came to accept rather reluctantly. She held firm beliefs that not only had the world she once had known drastically changed but that the friends she had gathered before the calamity were all fallen. She was pleasantly surprised to find that a good amount of her comrades had survived, yet life was very different than how it had been prior. She struggled to find a place in the new world, eventually finding work as a clerical assistant at an alchemical research facility.

Several moons passed before Lyriah's restless nature pushed her to pursue different roads, eventually founding her own company, Oschons' Respite, dedicated to her father's patron deity in honor of him. The business began to build up and everything seemed to find balance over time as the company's profits grew, even allowing Lyriah to form partnerships with other companies. Lyriah was soon forced to expand her clientele, reaching so far as the gates of Ishgard once they opened to new trades.

The peace didn't last. Lyriah became gravely injured during a caravan raid that left her at Nald'Thals mercy for months. During that time, employees hired on by her stand in took the chance to try to overthrow Lyriah in order to gain control over the company. While Lyriah managed to throw out the traitorous dogs, the company still suffered from both Lyriah's injuries and their betrayal. She had no choice but to sell the company to her half-brother, Eranore and start anew somewhere else. Since then, Lyriah has not been seen too often in one place, seemingly unwilling to disclose her affairs with anyone who asks.
