Jancis Milburga, a midlander hyur, is a merchant's daughter orphaned in the Twelveswood and forced to come into her own.

Appearance

Jancis is overall quite plain in her manner of attire and appearance; though she keeps herself kept she does not follow the fashion or trends of higher classes or wear makeup. Her hands are soft and she'll typically wear gloves to protect them. [Album of References]

Jancis has an alto voice range and no vocal training.

Beyond what the character actually wears:

  • Around her neck is a simple chain holding a handmade ring with a lapis lazuli gem in it.
  • Has a plain handkerchief of cotton (not always the same one she constantly gives it away).
  • Typically has a small book-sized satchel containing basic medical supplies, a map, and a waterskin.
  • There is a wand or other natural-wood on her person or in her satchel.

Scars:

  • A knife scar across her cheek done in a traditional design which has stretched and faded as she's come into adulthood. Received as a child.
  • A keloid scar with a spider-like style with thin branches on her stomach and on her lower back; gotten from being impaled with a conjured stalagmite from Melfice Vainchelon in disguise.
  • Left leg has uneven texture from a zombie attack during the onslaught at Ul'dah's gates headed by Jin'li Epinoch.
  • Right shoulder has small jagged scars from the claws and teeth of a possessed imp attack. Received while rescuing L'aenoh Tia from a dark blood mage.
  • Three indented slots on her left side starting at her lower ribs which look like a giant fork stabbed her (which is what happened). Inflicted by Augustine Frost while under the influence of "Pink Primal" Memeli Meli.
  • Left arm has speckled skin coloring from burns and aether damage, a mix caused by Jana Ridah, Delial Grimsong, and fighting Louvel for Ja'ren A'lenthin.
  • Right hand has very faint white lines in the shape of teeth, caused by Reginald Ozrik biting her hand during an ordeal and healed hastily to lessen backlash.

General Demeanor

Jancis Milburga 16-bits - by Ilweran zpsregqfop1.gif

Jancis is awkward socially, ranging from blunt questions to over elaborate sentences as if talking in a storybook. She calls nearly everyone by some kind of title and will avoid saying the name of people she does not care about.

Having a kind heart, Jancis is very patient and forgiving with others. She's happiest when she is feeling useful and is a good follower. Has a soft spot for children and young animals, but in general she's very 'hands on' touching people on their arms or shoulders and taking their hands to make connection.

Fearless and willing to speak up to bring about understanding and clarification on matters she finds to be wrong, particularly if it is hurting someone. Defensive of friends and allies, or those she deems in duress, she will stand up in protection and literally block words or physical attempts of harm.

Combat - Views/Behavior

Mark Crilley Manga Shading.jpg
  • Skills
  • While not very smart in battle, Jancis does not fear it. She will go in and try to support everyone she's an ally with regardless of her own safety.
  • As a conjurer, Jancis is sensitive to the elements and through training has become more sensitive to the aether and magicks around people she's close to, giving her an edge on healing serious conditions at crucial times.
  • She's light of foot and quick to find a place she thinks will not hinder her allies.
  • She is trained in poisons and venoms, taking them herself in small doses to build up an immunity. She will use it as a rudimentary attack by throwing and misting as a distraction.
  • Trained with basics of a shield and staff. Usually does not have both at once and will two-hand whichever she has. Carries a wand and has natural items on her person at all times to form conjuration.
  • Weaknesses
  • Jancis is typically too preoccupied watching her allies she fails to watch out for herself and would be an easy target.
  • Her strength and dexterity in a fight is not too keen and she would easily fall in one-on-one battle.
  • Her ability to "read" aether is a novice level, so things that are unnatural or done by an arcanist she cannot undo by the same means. She can do little more than sense the presence of aether.
  • Being a conjurer, she relies on her voice to call out to the elements to assist her. Anything that would hinder that or interrupt her would leave her to rely on physical abilities alone.

Tendencies

JancisbyMeli.png
  • Jancis grew up mostly on her own out in the wild of the Shroud. Her habits and words do not follow current culture 100%; she will use odd terms and not understand idioms.
  • Wearing pants her entire childhood, she compensates for typical 'style' by wearing leggings.
  • Apologizes constantly.
  • Tends to be hands-on with people, touching their arm or shoulder, and does not understand the concept of personal space.
  • Gives everyone a title, typically using their first name along with it. Lord, Lady, Master, Sir [Resource]

"Flaws"

  • Jancis is honest to a fault. She will not lie or tell a half-truth. The best she can do is not bring up a topic unless asked. She also complains and isn't cooperative if someone wants her to lie or is lying, calling them out and then correcting their words.
  • While someone have to give trust to earn trust, it makes her a pushover when given to the wrong people. Unless it's overly clear she thinks the best of everyone and their intentions, believing them to be the victims of misfortune or simply their good attempts failed. In very few cases has she deemed someone beyond mortal abilities to save from corruption.
  • Not growing up with gil, and seeing it as the useless material it is made out of doesn't really give it any value beyond what people tell her. She can't haggle and always overpays.
  • She is fearless and will come forward to defend someone, run up to help someone, reach out and touch things that could be dangerous. It's without a second thought.
  • Being sensitive to others have made her overly-sensitive. Her hands are kept soft and able to feel problems, but that also leaves them prone to wounds and blisters that are not allowed to callus over so it happens over and over. Hot food is hot. Bitter things are bitter. Spicy foods are spicy! She will cry out when wounded and the only hardened part of her is her mind which endures it.
Likes
  • Children and young animals.
  • Feeling useful & following others.
  • Natural trinkets:flowers, sea shells, rocks, etc.
  • Being called by a nickname.
  • Fruit, by itself or in other things like drinks.
Dislikes
  • Mistrust and dishonesty.
  • The unnatural/voidsent.
  • Loud noises.
  • Corrupted people, power grabbing, misconduct.
  • Being called "Child" or childish.
Hobbies/Talents
  • Reading/Writing
  • Healing Arts
  • Poisons,Venoms, and basic Herbal uses
  • Basic Cooking
  • Conjuring

Jancis by Edda.png

Kurt Steel - Axeman, cook, and retainer of the Red Wings. Jancis met him in a curious way that has made their initial contact awkward from her own actions despite his kind, protective, and attentive mannerism. She's taken up the habit to writing him letters and speaking of him fondly and wistfully. Overall, her mannerism to him is conflicted in the urge to help repair the wounds she sees within him and the her belief in her inability to without taking them on herself, something he wouldn't allow. "Lord Kurt" "Kurt"Show text

Lan Darklyn - The sword of the Harbingers and knight figure from the desert, Jancis ran into the man and (by chance) became fond of him. A semi-sad coincidence, Lan looks somewhat like Jancis' lost love, save for the short hair and sapphire eyes. The feelings were more complicated as she learned more of the man's past to nearly match with hyur fostering and training, as well as running into one another from short meetings long before. She nearly sees the man as the success she wanted for herself, and tries to assist the man in subtle ways so his life stays happy and prosperous unlike the 'twin' she fell in love with. "Saint Lan" "Sir Darklyn" "Lan".[Lan Darklyn]Show text

Memeli Meli - One of the Coral Sea, Memeli has a crazy reputation for being a caring bold company kin and a diabolical arcanist of unquestionable power.

Their continued relationship improves and Jancis has found a very soft and supportive spot for the strangely sweet lady. "Lady Meli"Show text

 Oscare Iono - A garish huntsman turned tragic figure, Jancis was really taken from his care and concern over Cici's exhaustion when they met.

Osric Melkire - A Sergeant of the Immortal Flames, Jancis knows little of the man but believes the best of him. Known for his intelligence and being what the conjurer thinks of as a shadow knight, she realizes the man takes a lot on his shoulders and has strong beliefs. "Sir Osric"Show text

By random chance the man continues to come to her for her opinion and now some of her work in dealing with concoctions. More concerned with the man's well-being, Jancis continues to learn and tolerate his extravagant lifestyle to get a glimpse of understanding this man's way of thinking. Very willing to help the man and is still amazed by the amount of detail the man can pay attention to; she cares deeply for the troubles that no one else seems privy to or could even fathom. "Otto" "Master Vann."Show text

Not understanding his darker side and misfortune, she tries to defend the man with all of the poor treatment he receives. "Sir Reginald"Show text

Renaud Becquerel - Captain of the Coral Sea. Jancis knows very little of this man and finds him full of rumors and contrasting behavior, going between a caring father figure to a careless and ruthless figurehead. She listens to him quietly, torn with her feelings to respect a title. Despite his change to Renee Becquerel she still refers to him as a man. "Captain Renaud".Show text

Reinette Sompt - Alchemist and the Practitioner of the Coral Sea, Jancis admires the pacifist for her determination and benevolence. She also delights in the many books belonging to the elezen woman.

  • After asking Sigurd about his lack of attention to her and how busy the woman is, the man confessed he is self-focused and his offers have gone unanswered.

Syl Souther - Something of a black sheep, but still a skilled healer. Jancis finds the tough and harsh-tongued woman delightful. Since nearly leaving the Coral Sea, she tries to do extra work and nice things for the lady, even after their close experience. "Lady Sylian" Show text

JancisbySasha.jpg

Tasa Rhyzul - The hardened warrior with a subtle softer side, Jancis met Tasa while preparing with the company to save their leader.Show text

Tausenadel Geispyrsyn - Sailor in Coral Sea with a jovial soul and a knack for cooking, Jancis revers the man for his manly expression of compassion and his ways of dealing with bad situations under pressure.

Considering all that has happened, Jancis tries to do whatever will make him comfortable, but is fairly sure his heart and spirit went to sea with his dead wife. "Tausen"Show text

Tiergan Vashir - A swordsman, caring, yet tormented man. Every interaction Jancis has had with this man has only improved her opinion of him. He is one of the few that will call for her help and sees more sides to her than most even in their brief interactions. She thinks very highly of what the man has overcome, though not well known, and hopes to show the same gratitude in return. "Sir Vashir"Show text

Val Nunh - A uncooth fighter, Jancis met Val while she was being evaluated to study under the Harbingers.

"Lord Vaughn" "Vaughn"Show text

Virara Wakuwa - Fist-fighter lalafel. Close to Lady Meli and Sir Gegenji. Jancis feels a closeness to Virara for her blunt survivalist and emotional-less tone which she really responds to. The two share a similiar background save for the past few years. She feels a deep desire to help the woman break free of her servitude mindset and see her prosper. "Lady Virara"Show text

X'Kohu Tia - A warm and affectionate man, Jancis has known him for most of her time outside of her isolated past. She considers him a generous and social friend. "Master Kohu" "Kohu".Show text

Z'enath Vashyr - A Free Paladin of Ul'dah and accomplished swordsman. Has a smile that always catches her off-guard. Jancis would ask for his help and wrote him often; struggling with the amount of attention and reverence he gave her. Coming to care and love the man deeply, she will often look sad and longing at random times after being reminded of his absence. Believed in hiding and incognito to find assassins linked to his past or killed by them. His loss resulted in Jancis dealing with a long recovery and lack of desire in many respects.

Background

QIvPuyu.jpg

Jancis Milburga was born as Lleuedwyn Fishcot, daughter of a middle-class merchant family. The Fishcots were known for their ability to export fish and were a successful travelling merchants. Misfortune came upon them on a trade route in the northern part of the Twelveswood; their caravan was overrun by scouting soldiers looking for monks from Ala Mhigo.

The Rest of the family murdered in the heretic hunt, the toddler Lleuedwyn was left to die in the woods. The soldiers had not been far off, refugees from Ala Mhigo as supporters of the monks escaped before persecution had been near the caravan. Coming to salvage what was left, they found Lleuedwyn and kept her as an asset to survive. Hiding out in the dawn of war, they found a secluded cavern deep in the Shroud protected by the Elements and the Woodswrath because they were caring for a child of the woods.

The highlanders were known as "Guardian" and "Shaman Milburga". Lleuedwyn was referred to strictly as "Child" and taught basics of survival, given books, and even taken into close villages with a mask and large clothing. She was mostly secluded from interacting with others and learned most of what she knew in the world from books or overhearing her two "protectors". As she grew into adolescence Shaman Milburga began to teach the child how to feel and understand the elements; partly to continue their protected place in the woods but also as a means for the girl to take care of herself later on in life.

From one of the many books Jancis picked out her own name and became more restless with the lack of interaction that she had so often read about. Over time she became more aware of her situation, the fate of her parents, and a limited recollection that she was an orphan. She became more adventurous and gathered items from her 'secret outings'. Caught on several outings, Guardian decided their time was up in the seclusion and the war had left more refugees around Gridania.

Giving her some supplies, Jancis was left out on the road with instructions to find the city and appeal to the generosity of the Conjurer's Guild. For about five years she worked for room and board while studying the art of conjuring and is now at the point to explore the world and build her future.

  • Visits randomly during their [Tavern night] and gives gratitude to their guard work on pilgrimage.
  • Belongings
  • Spade: A small blackened iron garden spade. The item itself has a curious handle that's not a design for digging tool. The spade was originally a dagger which was held by Jancis' captain in case her and Ja'ren's possession by the powerful voidsent, Gwendoline, became permament and the company failed to save them. Throwing the dagger to the sand, Jancis retrieved it and brought it to a close friend, Sir Gegenji, who melted down the metal and reforged it into something more fitting. The original hilt was reused.
  • Herb Satchel: A small cloth bag, no bigger than Jancis' palm. It is tied with a bow faded in color and filled with sweet smelling roots. Embroidered with an initial "M" on the front, the satchel is plain otherwise. Given to her by Lady Edda; a goodluck charm the lady made when she was young. "A small herb satchel made by her brother for her 16th nameday, with Edda's middle initial sewn on it. Worthless, but high sentimental value." [Source]
  • Flower Scroll: Parchment with a simple arcanima spell, with instructions written for novice casters or those unfamiliar to arcanima. When cast, it would create an image of a beautiful field of flowers, according to the season and month. The scroll itself is hand-drawn with care, to ensure that the spell would be usable for repeated uses.
  • Red Scarf: A regular-sized square scarf of shimmering red silk which no other decoration to it. The silk it is made of, however, has fire aether within it from a very delicate process of some of the adapted creatures among the crystals around the land and picking up the elemental aspect. The scarf itself always gives off a subtle warmth.
  • Wooden Fawn" A fairly large wooden carving, about the length of her forearm, depicts a gentle and observant fawn from the Twelveswood. The wood itself has been scented with oils to have an aroma of violets.
  • Red Lotus Stone: Kept wrapped in handkerchief, a small crimson gemstone, flat and palm-sized with the symbol of a Crane is somehow carved within it. The gem has subtle aether trace that connects this stone to its many others and a device called "The Lotus".
  • Feather Hair Clip: A silver hair clip adorned with a aquamarine gem and the feathers of a rare bird found on La Noscea. A gift from Oscare, who found the bird and got some of its magnificent feathers, had the clip made for her as an apology gift and a token for the Starlight Ball.
  • Birch Squirrel: This squirrel seems to be perched on part of a log, one of the common animals of the Shroud she grew up. The carving has a very organic feel where knots and twists in the wood were used in the design.
  • Rosewood Crane: A small hand-sized crane carved from a rich rosewood. The bird has been polished many times and has very simple deeply-scored details of wings to give it a glossy and smooth appearance.
  • Cushioned Rug Bed: A leather and fleece rug built with extra padding in it. A gift from Otto that he made personal when she continued to refuse one of the beds he had crafted. The man delivered the rug himself. While most of her furniture belongings were made by Otto, this one is by far the most endearing.
  • Lapis Ring: A simple silver ring with a small lapis lazuli set. The blue stone in this ring once belonged to the mask Jancis would wear while travelling. Promising her first love to not wear the mask anymore by giving it to him, the mask was shattered and all that remained was the stone. Later on, it was set to be her engagement ring. The item is kept on a chain now instead.
  • Painting: A hand-painted map of Eorzea done in more artistic brush strokes than one for locating and serious use. In particular on this painting are key points highlighted: the city states and everywhere of note that pertained to what Z'enath and Jancis knew of together at the time.
  • Seashell Charm Bracelet: A small scalloped-shaped silver charm had the engraving "L.F." upon it. The bracelet itself was also silver and meant for a toddler's wrist. The item was given to Jancis' first love and lost somewhere, possibly in the snowy mountains of Coerthas.
  • Map of the Black Shroud: Now just disassembled pieces of paper from the amount of times it's been folded and re-folded, this old map is outdated and written over, erased, and written over again. A random assortment of 'landmarks' and notes are on it to determine where Jancis was raised.
  • Coverless Book: Her favorite book, the binding is worn out and it's carefully kept in a handkerchief to keep from losing pages. It's where she chose her name from and inspired her to fight for freedom which brought her to where she is today. It's basically based off of The Renegades of Pern if she references it with dragons and nomads and discovering what life could be.

  • ♪The way that you love dear, the fate of the world you leave behind ♪ A way to the future, making a moment built to last ♪ You want to love, well now's your chance ♪ "To me, Jancis is someone full of opposites. She is strong, and gentle. She is withdrawn, but extroverted. There is so much honesty within her, but she's mysterious in her quiet nature. The clearest thing I've ever seen about Jancis is how she loves. She loves everyone, good and bad, because they are people and to her that is the most important of all the things. Jancis is someone who wears her heart on her sleeve, and is strong enough not to let it get broken by the world. The slow but up-beat tune of this song suits her to me. I love the way it goes up and down, because I feel Jancis must have had a lot of hardships in her life. But overall, this song is full of hope."
