After the invasion of Ala Mhigo, and the call to flee Eorzea from the Sharlayan motherland, Joyous elected to stay behind, finding that the knowledge and way of life of the land was too precious to be ignored as the Empire destroyed it. After the Calamity, Blossom helped rebuild Limsa Lominsa, and joined the Kracken's Arms, where she became enamored with the clever intricacies of deal-making. Retiring from piracy, Joyous founded the Onyx Pyrolisk Trader's Union, which hired craftsmen, engineers, sailors, and castaway pirates to build and trade across the Strait of Merlthor. The creation of the Skylifts launched Joyous Blossom's company into gillionare status, and it was with her newfound currency that she began her lifelong passion of protecting knowledge for all in the form of C.O.M.E.T</div></div> |

− | + | ::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px; color:#585350;">Joyous has blue-green eyes, from her mother. They appear to change color slightly depending on the lighting. Many have described them as being able to see through a man into his soul, so many wishing for her patronage tend to avoid her direct gaze. They seem to carry a knowing twinkle in them whenever she speaks to someone... <br><br>While Blossom has the same hair color as her father, a healthy black hue, Furious has had it grow out quite long—another measured testament of her distancing herself from her Sharlayan past, as the fashion among their people is typically to keep it at a shorter length. She tends to keep the more unruly parts of it to keep it steady and out of her view.[[File:Alaska6.png|500px|thumb|right|]]</div> | |

She is adamant about wearing just enough makeup to look beautiful, but only just so much as to make it appear natural.<br>The only marking of note is the lengthy tattoo of a Kracken trailing from her ankle to what most would assume is her stomach along her right leg. It is entirely uncertain how or why she carries this art on her person.</div> |

Though not the sort of creature to turn up her nose at getting dirty, it is noted that she commonly wears white, and dislikes getting anything stained on it, insisting that a Scholar is neat and orderly both mentally and physically. She's hardly the sort of person who goes out of her way to wear fancy or overly-stylish clothing; everything on her person has a function and a purpose, and that is precisely how she likes it. |

+ | ::<div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px; color:#585350;">To a person looking from the outside in, Joyous Blossom is a poised, imposing, elegant, intelligent, and alluring creature. Her presence is powerful; when she enters a room, one can most certainly notice it, and once she is there, it's difficult to cast your attention elsewhere. Rumors of her exploits might suddenly surface their way to one's thoughts—how she could talk a wild chocobo out of all of its feathers, or perhaps the missing merchant who once wronged her was never seen again, or her shady past as one of the Kracken's Arms. A fierce, powerful, cunning being with hidden, dangerous claws that could strike out at any sight of something not going the way she wants. Painfully blunt, impatient to a fault, and hells on earth should you earn her scorn, most walk on eggs around her to avoid her wrath. <br> | ||
+ | :These sorts of emotions are precisely what Joyous wants people to drown in when confronted with her. Wild tales of things she has (mostly) never done circulating fantastical rumors to give her a much larger-than-life appearance to her allies and enemies alike are what she aims for; the more extreme and unbelievable, the better. To further this, she is strangely absent from most social events, electing to keep to the confines of her estate, which are rather heavily guarded and kept quite secretive.<br><br> | ||
+ | :Joyous is dizzingly confident in herself—she's quite aware of her features, and what people think of her—she knows she is attractive, she knows she is intelligent, and she knows she is powerful in both wealth and combat alike. All of these points are tools for her to use to get what she desires, when she desires it, and most around her are keen on keeping her happy for fear of her temper. Joyous is a pragmatic woman—she is quite willing to do whatever she needs to in order to achieve her goals, regardless of what that something happens to be.<br><br> | ||
:To the outside eye, Joyous is poised, highly cynical, elegant, and charming. Typically carefree, even whimsical upon first glance, Joyous Blossom is quick to violently respond at the slightest provocation, being instinctively hotheaded, impetuous, and confrontational. To many onlookers, she is like a frozen flame--pleasant and beautiful to behold, cold, and slightly off-putting...but when closer inspected, bright and passionate and usually too hot to handle for nearly anybody involved nearby. | :To the outside eye, Joyous is poised, highly cynical, elegant, and charming.

− | However, she is actually rather sensual, warm, and friendly behind her layers and layers of thick skin. She cares for the safety and well-being of people she meets, but would rather see them fight for their survival, rather than running and hiding. In spite of everything that has happened to her, Joyous tries her best to be realistically optimistic towards people she doesn't know; she is wary, but still makes efforts to be trusting to others. Arrogant to a fault, prideful of her knowledge, heritage, and courage, she finds it difficult to admit when she's wrong, if she ever does at all. To her, weakness is something she'd rather hide. | + | However, she is actually rather sensual, warm, and friendly behind her layers and layers of thick skin.

Despite the crap-free attitude, cold exterior, and less-than-polite means of communication, the Sharlayan is good at heart. Although her methods are definitely unorthodox, she means well in what she does, and does legitimately feel for people when they're in some form of trouble.

Although her methods are definitely unorthodox, she means well in what she does, and does legitimately feel for people when they're in some form of trouble. Joyous Blossom would do just about anything to defend the unprotected, unwary, and innocent, to include putting her own life on the line. Fearless to death, the Hellsguard takes life by the horns, and refuses to let go. A fighter until the very end, it could very well come to pass that she does go down swinging... | ||
+ | <br><br>:Many people see Joyous as a hard-ass, incapable of showing emotion beyond scowling, looking down her nose (both figuratively and literally), and being generally cross. She puts people at their limits to test their abilities, in an attempt to improve themselves. She cares for the safety and well-being of people she meets, but would rather see them fight for their survival, rather than running and hiding.<br>Although she appears to be reluctant to do so, if asked for advice in the matters of combat, the Scholar is always pleased to test their mettle, reforge it, and improve it. Arrogant to a fault, prideful of her knowledge, heritage, and courage, she finds it difficult to admit when she's wrong, if she ever does at all. To her, weakness is something she'd rather hide.<br><br> | ||
+ | :She often goes out of her way to pick fights with others she feels are morally wrong or unjust to others, and it is painfully apparent she delights in making them look foolish through her means of visual trickery and aetheric ability. Easily infuriated by the stupidly brash, morally unjust, and careless, many people see Blossom as a trickster with a harsh punchline—jovial in making people she sees as lower than herself miserable and foolish, but rather stony and crass in every other respect. | ||
+ | It is often remarked by onlookers that she spends most of her brawls overjoyed and giddy at having outsmarted her opponents, often taking her enemies off-guard with just how incredibly implausible some of her schemes really are. Her sleight of hand tricks are a marvel to behold when not on the receiving end...In terms of combat, Joyous Blossom delights in being the center of attention, being something of a brash, egotistical show-off at times, and typically goading enemies into attacking her while planning several steps ahead of them. She is not a woman who shies away from stooping as low as surly taunts, or even outright death threats, and her determination to see victory is so high that those who know her well are somewhat surprised she's not lost a limb...or worse. While usually kind to people, Joyous Blossom isn't shy about returning wrongs tenfold to those who spread them, and is far from squeamish about gruesomely wounding her opponents if she feels the need to do so to make a point.<br><Br> | ||
+ | :Eccentric is hardly the word to begin with Joyous, as her escapades are considered an oddity among the well-to-do, her fashion choices are mildly questionable at best, and her hobbies are outlandishly bizarre. The former Kracken's newest passion has become collecting the rarest and most valuable items in all of the world, going as far as to hire mercenaries, adventurers, hunters, and pirates to obtain trinkets for her growing assortment. She is not above and beyond putting them into harm's way, stating that sacrifices must be made in order to achieve great things, and has strangely mentally removed herself from the concept of danger entirely, often brushing it off as a minor inconvenience. However in spite of that, it is quite clear she cares for those who dedicate themselves to their work, in her own strange little way. Joyous does not tolerate the weak or lazy, and is quick to become icily cruel to get a point across—she is not entirely without pleasure in making the foolish look even moreso, and seems to delight in tormenting people who have wronged others in her eyes. She does, however, appear to become bored very easily if doing so does not give her satisfaction, and is quick to cut conversations with people she considers wasting her time short, no matter how rude she seems or who she is speaking to. | ||

+ | Joyous's style of combat is an unusual one. Of all her assets, the most powerful and deadly is not her magicks, or her Scholar Lores, but her incredibly sharp wit. Blossom is strikingly perceptive, in spite of her mannerisms and outward appearance, able to quickly analyze a person's personality and therefore paint an accurate picture of what their strengths and flaws are. Joyous Blossom finds a bit of glee in psyching out her opponents, doing her best to use their own weaknesses against them, typically resorting to playing on people's overconfidence in themselves. However, she is as susceptible to these tricks as her enemies, and those who can pick up on what she tries to pull will find Joyous backed up into a corner.<br><br>Blossom comes off as borderline goofy, and almost dimwittedly careless to most who find themselves in a scuffle against her--however, this is done quite on purpose. Able to disguise one plan within the shroud of another, most people would brush off her actions as carelessness or sheer stupidity; Joyous Blossom on the other hand, makes critical moves while seemingly acting foolish in order to catch people off guard.<br><br> With her perceptive nature and Nymian Tactics comes the ability to seamlessly flow from one situation to the other, carefully planning, (and then planning around those plans, and so on,) around each new confrontation that sets itself before her. With this said, Blossom's ability to use her environment and whatever tools are on hand to her advantage comes naturally to her. She keeps a number of tools concealed on her person for such occasions. (See related tab for details) <br><br>Joyous Blossom is not a fair player. She considers that every move in combat is fair play (unless it involves damage to the innocent, or being needlessly cruel,) and will resort to run away, throw low blows, or even cheating outright. If her life, or the life of another, is in danger, Blossom is quick to act, regardless of what dishonor or humiliation is involved in the consequences. She picked this particular set of morals from the Maelstrom pirate crew she lived with after the Calamity, her flamboyantly dramatic mentor Archon Blyssbyrn, and the Nymian Tactician Palov Zolev, who was attributed to stating that '' "Honor means very little to Nym as a people if they are not alive to tell of it. I should rather suffer the dishonor of a foul tactic against our foes than have our children's children pay prices for being too meek to carry them forth."'' <br><br> | ||

Arkwright has spent many years studying and hunting down elite monsters, priding himself as one of the forefront members of Clan Centurnio.

With a passion for song and a deadly accuracy with a bow, Traique traveled the world as a Bard, collecting songs and singing them to whoever would listen. A natural-born performer, O'nera is friendly and outgoing to most people, but when scorned can become incredibly and painfully serious. | ||

+ | : Born poor to an Ishgardian family, Jacan Sunderfist had to scrape and claw for his position as one of the Knights of House Fortemps. However, he became disillusioned to Ishgard and her system after the truth of the Dragonsong War, and abandoned his post to fleet to Gridania, where he met upon Osrich and Traique. Jacan is the silent one of the trio, observing everything going on around him. He speaks only when absolutely needed, and does so rather quietly. With years of training as a knight, it is a small wonder that he has all but mastered the ways of the Samurai--he does seem to be far more at home with a katana than a broadsword. | ||

Perhaps one of the most talented and respected Goldsmiths in the Sharlayan Capital, Eifadoenn's passion for only creating the best she could offer likely rubbed off on her adopted daughter. Out of the couple, she was the more jovial, flamboyant, and caring of them, and spent the most time with their daughter. While she was known for her works of art, Ghimbryd always wanted to be a bard...however her fingers, she claims, were more prone to gems and jewels than the strings of a lyre. | ||

+ | '''Gohtfyr Haemrkoen,''': Joy's adopted Father. A passionate but serious man who knew none equal to his skill in metalworking. Gohtfyr has always had a soft spot for his daughter, given that he too was once orphaned on the streets in his youth, but never strayed too far from giving her her dues. While he was disappointed, nearly furious at Joyous's decision to abandon Sharlayan for Eorzea, he always gives a proud answer whenever asked privately. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ''Archon Rhotraen Toffund'': The first and only teacher from Sharlayan Joyous would ever have. Strict, pragmatic, and flamboyantly passionate about her work, all of these traits seemed to rub off on her student in spades. Toffund was the foremost expert on the War of the Magi, earning her Archon ranking at the age of thirty-four summers old, and publishing a half-dozen works on the subject alone. While she was clearly striving and breaking new ground on her studies, her dedication lead to an astonishingly few number of students taken under her wing...perhaps the least out of all the Archons in the Hinterlands. Out of her three however, Rhotraen is incredibly proud, if not somewhat disappointed as well, in Joyous as a student...if not her common sense in refusing to leave Eorzea. | ||

− | + | Joyous Blossom was born and raised within the Capital of Sharlayan by perhaps two of the wealthiest people in the area—Eifadoenn Ghimbryd, a well-known Goldsmith, and her husband Gohtfyr Haemrkoen, one of the finest men to ever turn rocks and stones into metal to build and create. Between the pair of them, Joyous was raised with the love and concern for the old and new alike, uncovering the secrets of the past with an understanding it may help the future, while generating one's own imprint into history with their own feats. Often, they would visit their home-away-from-home in the Dravanian Hinterlands, where the family owned a small estate, and it was there that Blossom immediately fell in love with the most prominent building there...the Great Library. Curious and stubborn to a fault, Joyous was often seen in her new parents' rather extensive library, reading as much as she could get her hands upon...and when the books at home had run dry of new information, Blossom found herself determined at only the ripe age of eight summers to enter into the Great Gubal Library, of which countless attempts to sneak past Voidsent, Soulkin, and mortal guards wrought no fruit. To the frustration of both of her parents, Joyous was something of a troublemaker, apt to ignoring the social norms of Sharlayan way, though this was simply out of an earlier upbringing outside of it. Despite her constant scuffles with security, Joyous tried time and time again until at last, Gohtfyr became utterly fed up and relented to allowing her apprenticeship into the Answering Quarter. | |

Confident, powerful
"Nymian Scholar" Attire: When presented the opportunity to do so, whether it be at some manner of dinner party or formal event, Blossom will typically don her traditional Nymian Scholar's attire. "Combat Scholar" Attire: Mixing together both Nymian and Sharlayan designs in green, gold, and white, this attire represents its wearer perfectly....a balance of elegance, utility, and practicality. "C.E.O: The clothing of a serious business-oriented woman. Sleek white and black in a simple but domineering presentation. |
Personality
However, she is actually rather sensual, warm, and friendly behind her layers and layers of thick skin. She cares for the safety and well-being of people she meets, but would rather see them fight for their survival, rather than running and hiding. In spite of everything that has happened to her, Joyous tries her best to be realistically optimistic towards people she doesn't know; she is wary, but still makes efforts to be trusting to others. Arrogant to a fault, prideful of her knowledge, heritage, and courage, she finds it difficult to admit when she's wrong, if she ever does at all. To her, weakness is something she'd rather hide.
It is often remarked by onlookers that she spends most of her brawls overjoyed and giddy at having outsmarted her opponents, often taking her enemies off-guard with just how incredibly implausible some of her schemes really are. Her sleight of hand tricks are a marvel to behold when not on the receiving end...In terms of combat, Joyous Blossom delights in being the center of attention, being something of a brash, egotistical show-off at times, and typically goading enemies into attacking her while planning several steps ahead of them. She is not a woman who shies away from stooping as low as surly taunts, or even outright death threats, and her determination to see victory is so high that those who know her well are somewhat surprised she's not lost a limb...or worse. While usually kind to people, Joyous Blossom isn't shy about returning wrongs tenfold to those who spread them, and is far from squeamish about gruesomely wounding her opponents if she feels the need to do so to make a point.

Early Age, Sixth Astral Era Joyous Blossom was born and raised within the Capital of Sharlayan by perhaps two of the wealthiest people in the area—Eifadoenn Ghimbryd, a well-known Goldsmith, and her husband Gohtfyr Haemrkoen, one of the finest men to ever turn rocks and stones into metal to build and create. Between the pair of them, Joyous was raised with the love and concern for the old and new alike, uncovering the secrets of the past with an understanding it may help the future, while generating one's own imprint into history with their own feats. Often, they would visit their home-away-from-home in the Dravanian Hinterlands, where the family owned a small estate, and it was there that Blossom immediately fell in love with the most prominent building there...the Great Library. Curious and stubborn to a fault, Joyous was often seen in her new parents' rather extensive library, reading as much as she could get her hands upon...and when the books at home had run dry of new information, Blossom found herself determined at only the ripe age of eight summers to enter into the Great Gubal Library, of which countless attempts to sneak past Voidsent, Soulkin, and mortal guards wrought no fruit. To the frustration of both of her parents, Joyous was something of a troublemaker, apt to ignoring the social norms of Sharlayan way, though this was simply out of an earlier upbringing outside of it. Despite her constant scuffles with security, Joyous tried time and time again until at last, Gohtfyr became utterly fed up and relented to allowing her apprenticeship into the Answering Quarter.

Adulthood
:In the wake of the Calamity's aftermath, much was needed...and what she could provide now for her newly adopted homeland, Joyous was both eager and solemn to provide. Having witnessed but a sliver of the grim fate the Garleans had decided to bring upon the realm, Blossom's heart rekindled with new fire and new purpose...to first rebuild Limsa Lominsa to stability, and to then dedicate herself wholly to aiding the Ala Mhigan Resistance with her skills. Though her abilities were far from masterful, Joyous brought solace in any way she could muster, from using her knowledge as a Goldsmith and Armorer to aid with masonry and rebuilding, to mending the wounds of the injured and downtrodden. Eventually, however, Limsa Lominsa returned to her feet, and Blossom was left without a home to call her own. Convinced her life's work was gone, she turned to the only place that would take her—the crew of the Kracken's Arms.
“Why in the seven pissin' hells would I ever take your little bet for?” The other questioned. “Shut your maw, n' wait your turn, a'fore I stuff somethin' in it to make you silent,” he told her, with a leer.
“Very well,” Blossom responded, coolly. “But are you to tell me that you are too afraid of me to play simple games? What might that say to your crew, that you're too afraid of a woman tied and bound and beaten?”
