'''Shion Bellveil''' is a Midlander Hyur from the trade city of Radz-at-Han in the Near East.

'''Invia Sheol''' , or '''Invi''' for short, is a Miqo'te from the Black Shroud.
  
 
==History==
 
==History==
−
Shion comes from Radz-at-Han on the island of Thavnair, and her mother is Thavnairian, but her father, Evien Bellveil, is actually from the kingdom of Dalmasca. A longtime alchemist, he traveled to Radz-at-Han to truly delve into the art there and met Shion's mother Kallen when he did. Shion grew up playing in the sun-lit streets and learning dancing from her entertainer mother, and earned a reputation as an exotic beauty for her blonde hair inherited from her father, a rare sight in the Near East.
+
Her mother Celhi died when she was young, while her father [[Evien mal Sheol|Evien]] was a renowned genius in the field of aetherology, especially the study of souls. Originally X'Evien Tia and hailing from Sharlayan, when he was younger had attended the Studium and graduated as an Archon. When he met Celhi Sheol, he moved with her the the Shroud and changed his name, loving her enough to embrace the Keeper of the Moon culture. Invia was born shortly after in the South Shroud.
  
−
Sadly, Shion's mother came down with an illness that even the legendary Hannish alchemists could not cure and passed away when Shion was still young. Her father had researched the Philosopher's Stone to try and save Kallen, even performing alchemical experiments on his own daughter, but when his wife finally died he grew cold, distant, and turned toward the drink. Shion's teenage years were spent on the streets of Radz-at-Han and she often felt abandoned and forgotten despite her father technically still being her legal guardian. She would resort to more than one less than savory means to survive.
+
Ever since she was a small child Invia being told them by her ill mother, Invia has been captivated by tales of heroes and knights in shining armor. When given the chance the two of them always went to see plays at Mih Khetto's Amphitheatre in Gridania, such as her favorite story ''I Want to Be Your Canary''. She and her friends spent time playing make-believe heroes in the dark woods of the Black Shroud, swimming in the cool rivers and lakes, or exploring the ruins of Amdapor or tunnels of Gelmorra scattered across the woods. It was during these visits to the latter that Invia came to learn something about her nature.
  
−
When the people of Dalmasca attempted to liberate their capital Rabanastre from the Garleans, Evien traveled there to aid in the fight and died in the city's destruction. Deciding there was not much for her left in Radz-at-Han, Shion took up her father's alchemy notes and began researching the Philosopher's Stone herself. With the loss she had endured, Shion seeks immortality to not have to lose herself as well. She believed that the key to discovering the stone may be in Eorzea and so traveled west from Thavnair, where she set up shop in Ul'dah as a librarian, giving her access to a variety of books. Upon arriving in Ul'dah Shion encountered a man in blue who promised to let her cast a variety of wonderful spells, but after being conned out of nearly all her gil all Shion had in her hands was an empty Blue Mage soul crystal. Shion was bailed out by a man from Ala Mhigo named Alec Red, who helped her land a job in Ul'dah and let her live in his house until she could afford an apartment.
+
For as long as she can remember, Invia has had an affinity to a certain branch of magicks: the manipulation of the souls of the dead. Since she was young she had had an affinity for ashkin and, to an extent, been able to use their powers for herself. This power of the souls of the deceased also tended to attract voidsent to her, and there were plenty of those wandering the Shroud left over from the War of the Magi. During her childhood excursions into Gelmorran and Amdapori ruins, she had more than one chilling encounter with a ghost or imp of some sort.
 +
 
 +
Invia's mother Celhi died when she was young, and afterward her father threw himself into his work. It wasn't long before his aetherology research on the soul seemed to have become all he cared about. Eventually it came to a head five years ago, when lamenting the lack of research resources that Gridania could provide to him and Sharlayan's refusal to let him back in after leaving them, Evien turned to a third option: the Garlean Empire. This caused a terrible argument and falling-out between father and daughter, but all Evien seemed to care for was the opportunity to further his research. In the dead of night he crossed Baelsar's Wall to betray Eorzea for the Empire, and from his already existing reputation and skill, he quickly saw himself rise through the ranks to mal.
 +
 
 +
Her father leaving was the prompt Invia herself needed to finally go off and learn more about her own powers, as well as become a hero like the ones in the stories from her childhood. Invia initially tried to go to Sharlayan for knowledge, but her father's choice to join Garlemald prompted the Forum to bar all access to his family. Instead she chose to settle herself in Limsa Lominsa for access to the many tomes within the Arcanists' Guild.

During the Eorzean Alliance's siege of Ala Mhigo, Invia temporarily split off from the rest of the group to locate her father in his laboratory. During their emotional confrontation the battling throughout the city caused ceruleum tanks to detonate and bring down the laboratory, and despite everything that had happened, Invia shielded her father from the explosions and raining debris. Though on the verge of death, Invia knew she had saved someone she loved...only for him to do shortly the same. Using the fruits of his research into the soul, Evien used forbidden magicks to give his life for his daughter's. Invia was brought back from the other side at the cost of her father's life, and as his last act of love toward his daughter, saved from the destruction and spirited her to safety. The catalyst at the source of this spell was a white crystal pendant, which Invia now keeps on her at all times as a memento.

Although she has blonde hair inherited from her Dalmascan father, which would not lend one to think she is from the Near East, Shion's clothing gives away her Thavnairian origin, with bright colors and fanciful fabric. A thin silver charm bracelet hangs on Shion's right wrist, each charm on it a memento of family and friends. Her long hair tied into a ponytail is her pride and joy, and her figure shows a lifetime of dancing, giving away her combat style.

Several thin silver bracelets hangs on Invia's left wrist, and she wears a white crystal pendant around her neck carved into a teardrop shape and held by a thin gold chain. Her figure hints at a youth spent playing in and exploring the nearby forest and ruins. She's left-handed.

Streaks of her hair are white, and her eyes are a brilliant silver. The streaks in her hair only appeared after a recent near-death experience. She has a sensitivity to ghosts and spirits, and sometimes feels like she can see souls flowing through the normally-invisible lifestream.
