Appearance

This small, pink-haired au ra could almost be considered a runt by the standards of her own people - she stands barely at 4'7", with scrawny physique that makes it obvious she has possibly never done proper physical work in her short lifetime.

She has pale skin, pearl white scales and blue eyes that stand out together with her rather bright hair, bringing some life to her fragile appearance.

History

Illyriel was raised by her reclusive mother, Akiko Odayaka, in the outskirts of Doma. Their small, rickety hut resided within a forest, and the young raen grew up shielded from the city life. Her mother was skilled in both magical and traditional healing arts, and trained Illyriel since childhood to respect the nature and the life around her. She was familiarized with both healing and poisonous herbs and how to produce salves, teas and potions. In addition to herbalism and the knowledge of healing magic, Illyriel learned to sew and repair her own clothes, as they had little income and couldn't afford clothes nor the fabrics to sew them. Instead, she collected straw, hemp and cotton, and would weave it into fabric to use for clothes. The occasions when the raen child would have the chance to see the world outside the forest were with her mother when she travelled to the nearby villages to treat the ill or the wounded. It was their sole income, which kept them barely fed.

When the Doman people rebelled against the Garlean Empire and the empire's retaliation crushed the city state, Akiko pleaded a fleeing caravan to take Illyriel with them and bring her across the sea to Eorzea. Alas, the journey did not go quite as planned, but despite the difficulties, she finally made it to Thanalan.
