Biography

The Past: Juliana has a habit of keeping her past to herself, unless directly questioned about it then there isn't much she won't share. She was raised by her grandmother until she was fifteen, then she struck out on her own and did some things, and then some other things, which led to another thing, then she disappeared for six years. Currently, she's settled into the little cottage her grandmother left to her.

The Present: She makes a tidy sum hunting bounties for the Twin Adders. Quite honestly, she's more than happy for any excuse to vanish for a day or two. Not that she doesn't love her cottage; a soft bed, warm food, marble bath and all are fabulous, but sometimes domestic life can prove a bit overwhelming, and you just need to go out and kill something.

Personality

The Outside: Charming and sweet are words that have been used to describe Miss Vale. Her good-humour and easy conversational skills make her ever-welcome company; she can wile away the evening with tales of adventure or a tuneful ditty depending on the audience, or she can be reclusive and shut herself away with a good book in her study for hours on end.

The Inside: Secretive and introverted, there are just some things not everyone needs to know. In fact, there are some things no one needs to know. Like everyone who survived the Seventh Umbral Era, she has her demons.

Appearance

Hair: Juliana spends less than no time thinking about her hair, outside of the pink highlights she adds to accent the natural auburn shade. Her hairstyle is simple and quick, and if it doesn't require any effort then it's perfect.

Physique: Like any adventurer she's fit, hunting things down and running the occasional incredibly useless errand keeps most in her occupation pretty svelte. Her height is average for a Highlander, maybe even on the short side, but she still towers over the majority of Eorzea's inhabitants.

Attire: Everything from holiday costumes to cocktail dresses, Juliana's wardrobe is extensive and eclectic. She believes every occasion should warrant a special and unique ensemble.

Jobs

In the Field: Juliana is, currently, retained by the Twin Adders as a bounty hunter. She has a variety of weapon skill-sets at her disposal, though she prefers her bow. Blood stains are hard to remove, and it's best to keep things at a distance.

Off the Field: Scholarly by nature, Juliana is quite content to spend the day with a book or star-gazing. She also loves gardening and cooking, pastries mostly.

Relationships

Friends & Acquaintances ● Alainoix - Alain was hired by Juliana's grandmother back when she was knee-high to a goobue to act as a bodyguard to the precocious youngster. Over the years he's become her close friend and confidante, and the only person in Eorzea who knows all her secrets and likes her anyway. She endearingly refers to him as her Bardyguard, and he generally refers to her as Insufferable Creature, which she interprets as a pet name. ● Pippa and Patsu - When Juliana's grandmother had hired them they had been a young, newly-wed couple anxious to share the skills and prove their worth. That, however, was thirty years ago. They had promised to take care of the small estate after the old woman had passed on, and insisted on remaining to do so once Juliana reluctantly returned to claim her inheritance. If she had ever actually wanted replacement parents, she couldn't have chosen a better set herself though she'd never admit it.
