Does Ihla know people? Not really. People, to them, are a mystery, to be understood by scholars of a different field. Their curiosity leads them elsewhere, towards figures and diagrams, calculations and equations. These, they say, are the fundamentals behind all the universe. It is these maths and a fiery personality that Ihla hides behind to hide their deepest insecurities - the foremost being that they cannot read more than what is necessary for navigation (signposts and such) and simple sentences in textbooks. | Does Ihla know people?

Nevertheless, Ihla exudes a confidence (and, indeed, arrogance) that can either inspire people or make them angry, depending on the day. The shameless Miqo’te, while not immune to the harshness of criticism, generally has few cares about what others think of them, so long as the illusion of competency stays erect. They consider themselves an extrovert, even while not being able to read people very well. To those that they grow close to, they are entirely dependable, consistent, and grounded. | Nevertheless, Ihla exudes a confidence (and, indeed, arrogance) that can either inspire people or make them angry, depending on the day.

Those that try to flirt with them, however, are met with a stone-faced confusion. Ihla doesn’t like to flirt, has no interest in romance, and generally goes about their days without a thought to it. They like friends, many friends, and would rather be close to them than be tied to people in that way. | Those that try to flirt with them, however, are met with a stone-faced confusion.

Ihla was idly scrawling geometric patterns with one hand and drawing them in the air with the other when, much to the shock of both them and their father, the geometric shapes Ihla drew in the air took form, sparkled, and caused a bit of static before dissipating. It was then that I’whase knew that he was in over his head and contacted the Arcanist’s Guild in Limsa Lominsa. With the savings he had, he bought Ihla their first grimoire, passage to the island city-state, and a bit left over to pay for as much further education as they could make it stretch. | Ihla was idly scrawling geometric patterns with one hand and drawing them in the air with the other when, much to the shock of both them and their father, the geometric shapes Ihla drew in the air took form, sparkled, and caused a bit of static before dissipating.

For Ihla, it was the first time that they made the connection between maths and tangible results. Experimentation meant critical success - or critical failure. Either way, the results could be explosive, and they couldn’t get enough. But their peers at the Guild, most of whom had been brought in on money and not merit, shunned and scoffed the half breed, preferring to stick to traditional ways of the Arcanist path. | For Ihla, it was the first time that they made the connection between maths and tangible results.

**Ihla studied at the Guild for three years before dropping out due to intense peer pressure. They were known as "the puzzle in the corner" due to their reclusive nature and tendency to twist themselves into a pretzel while sitting in chairs. The first year, they sat in the front of every class, constantly asking questions and taking notes, much to the delight of their instructors and the irritation of their classmates. After the first year, they had been heckled enough that they no longer participated much in class except for the bare minimum. Two years of that and they'd had enough. | **Ihla studied at the Guild for three years before dropping out due to intense peer pressure.

+ | **This is Ihla's new stomping ground, after they left the Arcanist's Guild for wider pastures. At first, the lack of formal structures unnerved her, but they came to appreciate the sheer ''wildness'' of the place. There was math here, too, in the way nature formed this strange series of islands. Ihla never advanced enough to understand physics, but they're pretty sure this place is ''weird'', even by Eorzean standards. Here, they are beginning to learn things from the Vanu, such as rock climbing and navigating by the wind and stars. | ||
