Invia Bellveil , or Invi for short, is a Hyur from the city of Leá Monde in Dalmasca.

History

Invia comes from Leá Monde in the kingdom of Dalmasca, now the capital of Dalmasca Inferior under Garlemald occupation. Her mother Kallen died when Invia was young. When Dalmasca was conquered a few years before Invia was born, her father Evien was an up-and-coming genius in the field of aetherochemistry and so was promptly taken in to the Garlean army's science division, and moreover he was eager to do so as Garlemald's resources provided excellent funding and resources for his research. He climbed the ranks quickly for a non-Garlean,

Growing up hearing the tales of the Zodiac Braves, especially Saint Ajora and King Delita, Invia admired the heroes they were. As the daughter of the eventual Evien mal Bellveil Invia lived a comfortable life in imperial-occupied Leá Monde despite not being a Garlean. It was not an extravagant lifestyle, but she could safely play in the streets, attend a school, and always had food on the table. But as she also befriended the lower levels of Dalmascan society, and sympathized with their plight. That being said, a fair many also hated her for being the daughter of a "traitor."

One day while exploring the tunnels beneath Leá Monde, Invia found a peculiar arcane grimoire that was remarkably intact. Practicing at her home in secret, in time she would learn the spells that it contained. From the confidence those new abilities gave her, combined with her reverence for the heroics of the Zodiac Braves, Invia decided to one day become a hero herself in their image. Her father remains in the imperial forces to this day, estranged from his daughter for her choice as he's quite happy with his current station in life.

When the people of Dalmasca attempted to liberate their capital Rabanastre and the Garleans destroyed it in response, Invia saw the despair that swept the kingdom. Deciding there was not much for her left in Dalmasca, Invia fled with the goal of becoming a hero, someone who could be a beacon of hope for others. She believed that the key to achieving the power to do that may be in Eorzea with its bounties of aether and history of magicks, and so she left the empire in secret via a Radz-at-Han trading vessel to set up shop in Limsa Lominsa. She found a job making deliveries that allowed her to afford an apartment, and now she researches the War of the Magi, eikons, and the history of magick to become a better arcanist and in turn a better hero.

Character

Appearance

Invia's clothing gives away her Dalmascan origin, with vibrant colors and fanciful fabric. A thin silver charm bracelet hangs on Invia's left wrist, each charm on it a memento of family and friends. Her figure shows a lifetime of dancing and playing sports in the city streets. She's left-handed.

Invia carries a strange tome on her person, an old grimoire with a blue leather cover decorated by the marks of the Ivalician zodiac in pale gold. She found it in tunnels beneath her home town of Leá Monde. She can't even fully read it as it is in a language predating Dalmascan, but she recognizes the symbology of the Zodiac Brave Story that she is so enamored with.

Personality

Invia is a warm, friendly person, but she is lacks confidence in herself and tends to get offended or angry easily even if that wasn't your intent. Invia simply adores children and strives to be a "cool big sister" to any she befriends.

Invia's shelves are filled with books of magic, history, and works of fiction, especially the stories of the Zodiac Braves. Of particular personal importance to Invia is the tale of Saint Ajora Glabados, whom she sees as her hero. Over the course of her time in Eorzea she has also come to find a fascination with the Fifth Astral Era. When she has free time and the weather permits it, she is often found playing some sort of sport outdoors, or perhaps drawing, which is another hobby of hers.

Though many of the holy sites of Dalmasca's religion, the Light of Kiltia, were destroyed by Garlemald, it survives in its people. Invia has been a faithful of Faram the Father her whole life, and the need to keep it secret from the Garleans has perhaps made her even more devout.

Seeing as she spent her entire life under Garlean rule she uses Garlean terms for some Eorzean concepts, such as "eikon" instead of "primal". And as a Dalmascan, she refers to aether as "Mist".

Combat

Invia is self-taught as an arcanist, having learned magic entirely from her Ivalician grimoire, and no tutor. She weaves her spell circles to match the stars, mapping them to Ivalice's constellations and zodiac.
