Abilities and Skills

Personal

Although she does errands constantly, her social skills are somehow lacking due to almost no interaction with other people, she may seem refined and hold etiquette, but other than doing so, she cannot show affection nor other kind of strong feelings towards other people.

Magic

She is extremely well versed in the art of summoning, yet due to the side effect of an incident during the Calamity, this also takes a tall on her body, on recent happenings the moment she manages to summon a primal egi some crystal bits start appearing all over her hands due to the aether required to control such energy.

Crafting

Due to neglecting her ability in arcanima during her stay in Ul'dah, she knows a little bit of most trades of crafting in order to have a constant income from small jobs or errands. She is specially skilled in goldsmithing and enjoys crafting some jewerly from time to time.

Positive

Alex Sykes: She met him in the Quicksand during a strange talk about a Roegadyn that could be causing trouble around Ul'dah, seeing him as a poor tramp during that time, she offered him a small piece of bread for him to eat, causing the youngster to find inspiration in her actions and excitedly running off for "adventures". Many moons passed until she found the Miqo'te again this time around Lavender Beds during an errand, this time the starving boy had turned into a formidable fighter who seeks to become stronger and travel even more, Haila somehow feels proud of him after seeing how much he changed in such a short time and holds some respect for him despite not knowing a lot about his past.

Zaiaku Kurai: Her view towards him could be considered quite an odd one, both met in the Quicksand and held a small number of conversations when she was still fragile of her mind and amnesia kept coming and going. Although she barely remembers what really happened during a time he had control over her, she still finds herself drawn to him first as a curious child, and then gradually letting those feelings grow into that of "love" as she keeps reminding him she believes in his kind side, one which not many notice. Despite being aware of the dangers and probably the eyes she would attract if seen around him, she believes one just has to understand him and his reasons better, and continued to try and know him better in her own way. Nevertheless, both grew quite apart as time passed, making her start to wonder if she took a decision quite hastily without thinking of the consequences, she wishes to talk to him, but the betrayal in her words are enough for her to stay away from Zai, at least for some time until both of their emotions stir.

Ruah'a Bhowsu: Both met in the most random way possible, she was being followed by a tiny tortoise that caught the Keeper's attention, a performer, of humble origins from a clan back in the Twelveswood. She has seen him grow quite quickly the past moon while developing a close friendship with him, the culture differences between the two only give path to more self evaluation and a strange interest that, despite agreeing is something not to be called love, still draws them closer as time passes. Despite being quite a reserved Miqo'te, Haila considers Ruah'a to be the closest person to her for the time being and would do anything possible to see the alchemist apprentice's dream come true as well as helping him realize what he wishes for in the new life Ul'dah has to give to them.

Neutral

Impresario Halloween: Although she sees him rarely or only during her work shifts at the Cafe, she is quite interested in him, specially since he never removed his mask and refuses to tell her further about how he noticed all the Dark Aether from around her or just avoids the question, despite all this she is just like a kid in the sense of being curious and stares into his pumpkin mask constantly as if trying to think of all the answers to her questions by herself, and making poor Impresario quite nervous while doing so.

Katiti Kati: The second in charge at the Piquant Pumpkin cafe, despite never talking, Haila holds quite a lot of respect for the lalafell, as she has seen her stand up to the troublemakers from the Quicksand who happened to be her coworkers as well, in a manner that has required little fight, quite the contrary of her who had her cesti ready in case something came to happen during the last fights in the tavern.

Gus Pumpkinweed: The boss of the Piquant Pumpkin Cafe, quite a remarkable lalafell if Haila would say so herself, she seldom speaks when working for him yet can't help but admire the enthusiasm and hard work he has placed on raising the reputation of his business. While she may keep her distance due to Gus being a bit enthusiastic to talk about coitus or watching her change (thing she was never sure wether it was a joke or not) she looks forward to keep on working under him, as the experience itself has given her quite many opportunities to talk to others.

S'vett Tia: An introverted Miqo'te, or so Haila thinks, she had seen him a few times during her first orientations at the cafe yet never spoke until she somehow found herself dragged into watching an illegal fight ring at the goblet, in which him and another worker of the Pumpkin cafe faced off. Up to this point she thought of him as someone quite serious yet caring for others as the poor Miqo'te seemed to try to hold back. Yet her suspicions somehow changed after a hunting organized by Gus, where all his workers were to join and hunt for a "Werewoof" during this time, Haila was witness to S'vett being quite a scared fellow, yet  thinks he may grow into a stronger person within due time, she feels curiosity and would love to talk to him more as she can see a caring heart in the Seeker.

Negative

Aaron Glacier: Once a member of the Piquant Pumpkin cafe, Haila had little to no idea of what he actually did there. All that she knew was that the midlander loves cider a bit too much, is quite hasty and reckless and that he tried to be funny from time to time. What could have been a friendship thought came to ruin as Aaron was known for provoking fights in the Quicksand quite often, a couple of those bringing injured along with them. While she tried to be perceptive and try to stop him for the sake of being co workers, she was pushed aside all those time, bringing frustration and then a negative impresion of him, she held quite a lot of respect for their superior, Katiti for standing up to him and the other one causing their last fight before firing him. She feels like her judgement towards Aaron was a bit harsh, but getting involved with him would only mean more trouble than she already has in her hands. Dresden Voltaire: Although both got along well during their first meeting as bartenders for the Cafe, shortly after that the Dream Ink incident surged. During a specific night in the Quicksand, when Haila resumed dancing just for the sake of finding information about the new drug in Ul'dah, he appeared dressed in the Inmortal Flames uniform and not later got involved in an argument with Aaron whom seemed to be on the lookout for it, despite the female midlander's intents for them to stop and willing to participate in their investigation as she was a valuable witness and source of information. Dresden told her off with a couple of harsh words, causing Haila to feel only discontent towards her co worker, they haven't spoken ever since.

Before Dalamud's Fall

<span style="font-size:small;"Early Years</span>

Born as the only daughter from a Doman refugee and a Lominsan Marauder, Haila proved to be of incredibly humble origins, yet always an energetic and curious child. Her father would rarely be home as he preferred the company of bar wenches more than his family the moment he was done with his job, while her mother would be submissive and barely say a word at him, leaving the young midlander to wander around the city often with other kids as they did not posses enough coin to send her to study, not that her father would even mind as he seemed to be a possesive man, wishing for his daughter to follow his footsteps and be the son he never had.

Needless to say, her fate was to change on a special day when she turned 6, her father was assigned as a guard in a banquet in the name of the Maelstrom, and the energetic child was smart enough to sneak in while he was not looking. The whole place seemed out of the world the young child knew of, with so much red, delicacies and details on clothings, she paced around avoiding the guest's eyes until a specific thing caught her eyes, it was black and white and possesed quite some strange pieces on top of it, a chess board. There, the kid couldn't help but come out of her hiding and tamper a little with the strange pieces, much to her dismay an elderly man spotted her yet did not proceed to chase her away but rather offer a warm smile and the opportunity to teach her how to play. This proved to be quite a gratificating feeling, as the kid wouldn't stop asking questions of the range of the pieces and so on, as if she was older than she looked, and finally in her first match, beating the man, the former Strategist of the Maelstrom.

Teen Years

Earning the attention from the Maelstrom, and under the consent of her humble family she was placed into the best education aviliable in order to develop her talents and be of use to the army, making her the youngest yet avid member of their force. Despite the constant underestimation and mocking from those older than her, she remained true to herself and proved to be quite a strong young woman. Much to the young girl's dismay, most of the strategies she designed during her training or for the purpose of "games" were constantly put to work in the actual battlefields when needed. By the time the battle of Carteneau broke, she had earned the title of Lieutenant and was respected among her superiors despite only being 18 cycles old, her determination and constant work granted her the right to participate on the backlines, arranging the best positions for the soldiers to be at and avoiding as many casualties as possible, not a simple task for such a young woman. Needless to say, when the first fragments fell unto the field, it was something not foreseen, the young strategist had made a mistake pushing their forces forward more than needed, she knew the chances of keeping as many alive as possible was now nearly impossible and watched in horror as many of those that trusted her were crushed under the falling fragments, her father included among those even thought the fire and the screams were too much for her to notice and perhaps for the best. Much to her superiors dismay, she stayed behind aiding what remained of their forces as hell raised around them in an attempt to make amends for her mistake and secretly hoping for some fragments to crush her again, she was just a tool of the military, naive and ignorant after all, or so Haila thought in the middle of the catastrophe. And it seemed her wishes were to be fulfilled, as another fragment fell down, blocking the path for the soldiers to run and find shelter, and sending a fragment through her head, leaving the woman unconscious and abandoned in the chaos.

Yet a miracle happened, the midlander was found a few days after the events took place, on a site that now reeked of Dark Aether, her body half cristalized onto a great cluster, as if it was trying to absorb her whole self into it. Upon being rescued she was sent into Camp Bronze Lake along with a few more survivors to heal their wounds and decide later what would become of them. Shortly after this, the notice of her mother's passing during the Calamity came afloat, it seemed she fell ill to afliction of the possible death or both her husband and child and did not summon the strength nor care to tend to herself, still, the Maelstrom hid this fact as they did not wish to cause more strain than they had caused already over the years in such a young person.

After Dalamud's Fall

Adulthood

Her adulthood turned out to be something more of a childhood, as if she had just been born. It took a fair 2 years in order to get all her motor functions back after the crystalization of part of her body damaged most of it after the Calamity, despite this the main problem was, the corrupted Aether she had been exposed to was too great, causing a great damage to her memories, according to the ones tending her in Camp Bronze Lake, she could be just a kid who had learnt its first words when the journey to her recovering began. She seemed like a young adult at the eyes of many yet when spoken to, it looked as if she was just a child in the body of an adult. Lacking common sense and any memory from before being found, the young maiden was no longer fit to be one of the Maelstrom's most brilliant soldier. Upon realizing this, her commander relieved her of her duties with the Maelstrom with the intention of "giving her a normal life" as almost all her teenager years were spent in training to be of great help for the grand company. Being given a second chance to life her life in a better way, she was sent over to Summerford Farms, where it was hoped she would live a normal life while on the way of becoming a mature adult.

Even though she blended instantly, helping as an errand child, harvesting, or picking up whatever items were needed from Limsa for the farm and vice versa, in one of her many trips to the main city, she stumbled upon the Arcanist's guild, marveled at how someone could bring forward such a strange being as a Carbuncle, she begged their members to teach her some of this. Still, regardless of her petitions, she was not allowed to join, aware of her strange condition, the guildmaster requested to not let her within their numbers, yet she was still given a grimoire in order to apease her out of pity, her talent with strategy and such was no more, or it was rather dormant in her child ish state. And so, another year passed in Summerford Farms, her mind developing quickly each day as her body matured rather faster than her mind, yet making progress, the strange book she was given a year before was now faded from being read over and over again, and then put to practice during late hours of the night, it seemed as if her talent was still there, as she could now summon a Carbuncle and cast basic spells for Arcanists yet at the same time another strange symptom surfaced. As described by the workers who knew her, Haila was starting to forget things from the past, may be small errands or even the current time, illusions were clouding her eyes as well, as she would often speak to nothing in particular and even recite things nobody would understand in a foreign tongue, hearing about this, some researchers often visited her to determine the cause of this, none succeed until the day a group of people calling themselves the Sons of Saint Coinach appeared at the very door of the house she was staying at, requesting for her to go with them to help in the studies of the Allagan Empire as it seemed some of her strange talks and actions were similar to those described by ancient tomes found in ruins close to the very place she had been found after the Calamity. Much to the researcher's dismay, all the habitants of the place refused to let her go, turning it into a dispute that scared her and left only a negative emotion the moment she heard about them. As time passed, people were by now used to her delusions and coming backs, as it seemed to happen periodically, incredibly withing a couple of months she had almost forgotten the incident with Saint Coinach thought her negative emotions towards them remained intact.

Time passed, almost a cycle when strange memories yet came to assault the midlander again, this time planting a wish she started to call her own, freedom to travel the world and see its many wonders. But she had no coin or things to call her own more than just her normal clothes, being in dire need of a "sponsor" she offered both the Maelstrom and the Arcanist's guild to send them information of whatever she may see or discover about aether, allagan relics and situations taking place outside of Limsa Lominsa, as well as her services when she was capable of doing duties as a full fledged soldier, this however only earned her the approval of the first. Despite being rejected several times, the Arcanist's guild supported her after some time had passed, seeing how capable she was with arcanima, they deemed a shame for her to not have joined from the very start even thought they had been the ones to negate her entrance in the first place and finally let her go. Now with 2 organization's approval, she was bestowed her own chocobo with Lominsan flags and released into the world.

A Realm Reborn (Present, 23)

Barely after a year of wandering and seeing new people and customs, Haila's body started to deteriorate the moment she used Arcane magic, more specifically after summoning the very esscence of primals, ability she acquired during an expedition around the ruins of Mor Dhona when she was simply safeguarding some independant researchers in their quest for discovery. Her old grimoire, no longer fit for casting was replaced with an ancient one, gift from the Sons of Saint Coinach which she reluctantly accepted yet used only in rare occasions in order to keep up good health. Now 23 years old, she settled momentarily in Ul'dah where she took several jobs that involved crafting or gathering materials. Even though her prescence was mostly felt around the quicksand, nary a word was exchanged with others when she stepped inside either to dance in silence trying to "liven things a little bit" or when she sat on tables. This cycle remained the same until the royal Ball came up, although she attended she did not speak with anyone, yet caught the attention of a local Black Mage, shortly after the event took place and she reassumed  her constant errands around the city, that very same person followed her until they met at last in the Miner's guild, place that seemed to be the only one not reeking of nobles and over everything crowds, the two only shared a brief conversation yet got caught in each other's mysteriousness. The Mage presented himself as Mesigna Quelzar, always wearing a mask and speaking in a strange way, Haila was drawn to him, occasionally meeting him in Limsa and talking in many places in La Noscea. After a few meetings a sparkle of love was light up as the man, no longer a stranger asked of her to be his partner, first in confusion, quite a few moons had to pass until she accepted under the vow of "Belonging to that which accepts her for who she is". Her happyness with her newfound love was short live though, as not long after their vows under a bright moon took place, Mesigna disappeared, as if the sands had swallowed him. Haila looked for him quite often when wandering in the city, yet he was no longer around. Stirring an emotion in her heart that she only managed to call heartbroken, she kept on wandering Ul'dah as an errand runner until her memories started to disappear again, burying Mesigna along with them.

Recent Events

- Returned to dance from time to time in the Quicksand in order to search further into the matter of the illegal drug "Dream Ink" being passed onto refugees and such as she was witness firsthand of the death of one.

- As per Ruah'a's research, Haila agreed to perform a ritual to help with her extreme aether sickness, which was now crystalizing her body. Upon failure, she was told to return to Ul'dah inmediately to search for someone who could do it. There she met Daphine Rysen, whom succeed in extracting the corruptness from her.

- Parted ways with Zaiaku as fragments of herself kept coming back during his absence, forming a new her and confusing the woman as her previous feelings seemed strange.
