Character
Ferai comes from a relatively small family. Her mother works at the Ul'dah markets as a buyer/seller. Her elder brother by two years, Firenze, is a talented mathematician and thaumaturge. The two siblings, despite a height difference of a fulm and a bit between them, look so alike that they can be mistaken as being twins. Their relationship is one of pure love/hate though, with both siblings constantly agitating the other. Firenze loves to prank his sister and often is quick to call her on her 'stupidity' as she was never very interested in books or school and left it early to focus on her physical talents. He never fails to mention her rebellious teenage years where she wanted to run away (and attempted many times) to join a circus show as an acrobat. Ferai in return, has spent years attempting to make him go bald, by magical or razor-wise means. She's usually always caught before she can do the deed. The closest she got was shaving one of his eyebrows off before he woke up because she'd cut him accidentally. Ferai's extended family however is expansive, with a childhood filled with plenty of tales of delight including the time her Aunt traumatised her for life with gravy and that one time when she got her tail trapped in a chocobo saddle and was dragged for almost a malm! She's quick to regale people with the terror of those childhood memories but also just as quick to defend them - it might have been a weird upbringing but hey, it's family!
Appearance
Somewhat sensitive about her height, Ferai comes in at 'Five fulm and one ilm!' but if you look closely, her shoes are built to increase her height. When she takes them off, she sinks down under the five fulm mark, something she tries to avoid at all costs.
This Mi'qote is the kind of person who is always smiling, which is a good deal as she has a face that reflects her open nature. With long white hair that bangs about her tanned and extremely freckled face and large, heavily lashed eyes of a rosy pink hue, she looks like a doll. Her delicate frame and small chest only add to this illusion of sweetness, that no word that trips from her pretty rosebud mouth could ever be anything but gentle...
Behaviour
That of course is where the illusion stops and you come crashing back to reality. As soon as Ferai opens her mouth, words spill out thick and fast that make it difficult to keep up, not only because she thinks twelve steps ahead and blurts out whatever she is thinking, but also because her speech is influenced not only by the Ul'dah markets and commons, where she grew up... but also by associating with those in her profession, the Rogues of Limsa Lominsa.She's quick to act and quick to think, despite her lack of book smarts, and the kind of person who'd be around others attempting to cheer them up and make them smile. Ferai loves to spend time with children and animals, finding them more suitable than people due to her unfortunate ability to trip over anything and everything. Because of this, she is quick to lose her temper and even quicker to apologise once the temper flare is done with, usually sinking into deep embarrassment. She is unable to take a well turned compliment and is sure people are making fun of her when they do. Her extreme bluster and bravado cover a heart made of glass, beautiful to see through but easily shattered.
A talented storyteller, Ferai's quick wit and silver tongue are known to held people enthralled in tales of her childhood, her exploits and even whole-cloth lies made up to entertain.

Relationships
- ♥ Romantic Interest ♥ Sexual Desire ♥ Platonic Love ● Good Standing ● Neutral Standing ● Poor Standing
- ● Firenze Caolann - Ferai's elder brother. Well educated, trained in arcane arts and talented mathematician he is not only the scourge of her entire life (as she tells it) but part of the reason why Ferai seeks personal glory. His attitude is aloof, snobbish and sometimes even a little cruel to his younger sister, but they do love each other, even if that sibling love is buried deep beneath burning resentment and constant fighting.
- ● O'lyenna Kalderi - Ferai's mother is a brilliant merchant, gifted with a silver tongue and a golden touch. She has worked the trade in Ul'dah for as long as Ferai has been alive, possibly longer. O'lyenna is fond of her children, but despairs of them in equal amounts.
- ■ "She's always falling over, hitting something, knocking down banners and stuff. You can't have her around, whole place would go up in flames." - Yellowjacket Guard
- ■ "I always see her at the Orphanage, says she's bringing them gifts but I never know where she gets them from." - Trader on Hawker's Alley
- ■ "I hear she works for that Jacke in the Rogue's Guild, she's trouble, mark my works." - Dockhand.
- ■ "That Mi'qote with the white hair and the pink eyes? You ever meet her? I hear she killed a group of slavers for dealing in trafficking kids. Slaughtered the lot in their beds. They say, she skipped through the streets afterwards, covered in blood. You stay far away from her, she's not right I tell you, she's not!" - Drunken Patron of the Drowning Wench
- ■ None as of yet!
Combat
First in, first to hit, and as long as she comes out standing, she considers it a success. Agile, dextrous and able to deftly read an enemy, Ferai makes a ferocious and intelligent front line attacker.
History/Timeline
So far, all that is known about Ferai comes down to vague hearsay and speculation. She's known to be on speaking terms with Onuma Ahntifi and that she was involved in an incident five years ago in Ul'dah where a Potwatch was burned and a Duty Captain knocked out cold and put in the Infirmary for several days. The details of this are blurry at best.
