Personality
Behaviors:
- Initially, Reppu is neutral to most people. She is often more amicable to female Miqo'te, especially Keepers of the Moon. Seekers of the Sun have high potential to be warmed up to, but often they fall into her 'disliked' category. However, she is quick to try to make friends, and is one to swiftly earn the undying loyalty of. However, if scorned, she does not overlook a grudge, and is extremely vengeful against people who are just flat-out idiotically bad.
- Reppu attempts to play mediator in conflicts between friends, and otherwise will speak her mind in a diplomatic manner. As a 'princess', she is well versed in honeyed words and diplomacy, hoping to avoid conflict with such skills. She can try to be intimidating, but her soft appeal makes it difficult to do so, resulting in people not taking her threats seriously.
- Although often calm, collected, and charismatic, Reppu's charisma is not immune to breaking, and her inner aggressions and rage can surface quite easily. She can be quick to judge an individual, and often will play jury and executioner as needed. Once her ire is earned, it will take sufficient effort and coaxing to calm her down. However, when she is collected, she is unquestionably charismatic and appealing to converse with.
- Enjoying liquor, Reppu does not have the constitution for the more potent of brews, and thus where her charisma breaks. She loses her 'noble' tone, and speaks like 'any other girl' would. She often drops her inhibitors, and is very friendly with people she genuinely cares for when intoxicated. Although she is still aware of personal boundaries, this will not stop her from hugging and snuggling a close friend.
Morals:
- Few things are as precious as family. If you must do wrong, do it in the name of good for your loved ones. If you must do wrong, do it for a higher purpose. While the high ground is preferred, only cowards will refuse the embrace of the dark. Nothing is beyond your reach, especially with someone who can help you stretch just a little bit further. And for that person, nothing is 'too wrong', and always 'just right'.
- In the end, Reppu will do what she has to do to survive, and ensure her beloved few are kept safe, secure, and happy. She is fiercely loyal, and observes the big picture, even if she must shroud herself in chaos. Do what you can, as long as you tried.
- Alignment: Neutral Good
Mind:
- Intelligent, but lacking in experience. Reppu was 'sheltered' from the world, and has much to learn by her own experiences. She is very book smart, though, and is quick to learn. She is open minded, and accepting of new ideas. She is very analytical, and will take her time in any situation. However, her passionate fury can get the better of her at times, but that in itself is it's own strength.
Quirks:
- Reppu suffers greatly when alone, and is generally increasingly nervous and paranoid unless able to distract herself from this state of being. She is also a bit of a ticking time bomb...
History
- Reppu was born in the Far East, in a location with out much note. The first five years of her life were nice. A pampered princess. She had everything she could dream of, servants waiting and serving her with love and adoration. A caring family.
- All of this would flip upside-down upon her fifth nameday.
- Taken from her little throne, the miqo'te would be subject to horrifying experiments of aether, a would-be ceremony of her family, used for generations. A cell that had seen many failed, filled with toxic levels of the gaseous substance. Crystals erect from the walls, floor, and ceiling. Over time, the essence would be absorbed naturally. Her family line was bred specifically for this purpose. For a true heir to master it.
- Through the process, Reppu's aether awareness of natural supply grew. She could greater perceive the apparitions of the fallen. She could make out more details than most, seeing beyond. How they died. Where they died. What killed them. For ten years straight, she saw the countless members of her family, those years and years apart, that failed to survive. Poisoned to death.
- The events scarred her, physically and mentally. But her resolve grew. They all had one message; 'Stop this'. She could not be tempted by the power she was born with, awakened through a decade of torment. Upon her fifteenth set of moons, Reppu was finally released from hell, and soon would be attempted to be converted by her grandmother, the head of the family, into taking the mantle of tyranny wrought through generations of power absolute.
- When she took the throne as queen, her decree was simple; an utter deconstruction of the monarchy. Her word was absolute, and her grandmother could do nothing to stop her, but curse her name. Reppu was stronger, and had the title absolute. So long as she lived, the decree was through. Her family was powerless.
- And thus, why the princess became forsaken. Anything to have her killed, her grandmother pooled influence, money, and power into. To that end, Reppu knew that her life was more precious, and fled. She hid in slums, forests, caves. A pampered life, turned into a prison. She had little to no survival instinct...
- But, some of the apparitions knew. Those who had fallen, who still held semblance of their good selves. She learned by watching, how to take care of herself. Basic hunting, basic medicine, basic survival. Four years of someone with no life experience, helped to shape her into someone just a bit more capable.
- Everything was closing in, though. With some money to her name, she fled to a boat. A kind captain willing to help her spite the old queen one more time. She fled to Eorzea, a place where she felt she could be safe, and live. As long as she lived, she was doing something, anything, to make up for the horrors her name had wrought. Her name abandoned, and Hijiri accepted. To further hide herself. But, she would not forsaken the name Reppu, given to her by her loving mother. To forever honor her, even if it would risk everything.
- As luck would have it, Llymlaen's guiding winds brought her to Limsa Lominsa, where a new opportunity would await her...
- A new beginning to be had, Reppu took the odd choice of becoming an adventurer. It paid, and she had to learn the land. La Noscea first, and everywhere else to follow. Through this, she met friends, gathered allies, and was soon 'someone' if not so very minor, in Eorzea. But, dark shadows are in the Far East, and growing every closer...

Friends & Foes
Aysun Demiir: Best Friend - 'Precious Sun' is an extremely important person to Reppu, and someone she could easily view as a surrogate sister. Entirely comfortable around, there are few others Reppu will open herself up to so closely, so quickly.
Breitak Zod: Acquaintance/Bodyguard - More a battle brother to Enju, Breitak has proven his willingness to humor and listen to every order of the princess. If nothing else, she appreciates the muscle.
Costia Demora: Friend - A friend and employer, Costia is considered to be family, even if their relationship is rocky at times.
Enju Abbagliato: Close Friend/Bodyguard - A man Reppu has known even as far away as the Far East, she is someone she is utterly confident and trusting of. Seldom a secret between them.
Eva Ianeira: Friend? - Eva can be a bit off and on with Reppu, due to their highly conflicting personalities.
Fenix Darkblaze: Close Friend - With some fabulous hair, Reppu is quite fond of Fenix, and is just as fond helping A'eyshn tease the Highlander. Another person who is willing to remain close with, and come to with her troubles. An older brother type.
Ishae Rhesh: Friend? - A wandering healer and archer, Ishae is someone that fascinates Reppu. Although the sentiment is not likely shared, it may very well be a one-sided friendship.
Mara Ileres: Friend - Although sometimes utterly overwhelming, Reppu feels herself friends to Mara. There is something endearing about someone so determined, if flawed. And thus why Reppu likes her.
Nairah Rajahl: Best Friend/Bodyguard - Someone from the past, still remaining in the present. Nairah is a close friend and ally, and helps keep the 'little princess' in check.
S'aigyouji Miya: Friend/Bodyguard - Apparently happy-go-lucky, this curious Miqo'te is one of Reppu's bodyguards. Mysterious on her own, and utterly sneaky, Reppu is appreciative of having another scout in her pocket.
Yashaix Ki'lari: Mate/Lover - Few can compare to Ki'lari at this point, due to their relationship expanding as far as it has. Few have had such an impact on Reppu's life as Ki'lari has, and few likely ever will.
Y'jusana Belhi: Friend/Bodyguard - A fierce lancer and even friskier individual, Y'jusana is always a delight to have at any party, or battlefield.
Bonus Stuff
RP style (light, casual, moderate, or heavy)?
- Moderate/Heavy preferred. The more to do, the better! Happy to run into plots, or run them!
What kind of RP relationships are you seeking? (family ties, etc)
- Friendships, Enemies, Randomness. Although primarily working with Crystalline now, a few individual plots are fine. Drama, RP Instances, and so on are appreciated, too!
How far from the actual lore are you willing to stray?
- Lore is very important. When I roleplay, I dive right in. I do not mind a little fauxing of Classes/Jobs (Reppu IS a Mystic Knight, after all), but more than just a little flavour is asking for it. A little bending can be fine, but snapping it over one's knee is too much.
