Leanne Delphium (25th Sun 6th Umbral Moon) is a city born miqo'te who hails from Gridania. Since a child the Seeker was one to go against the current of Gridania's peaceful culture, dreams and wishes of traveling burning deep into her heart. By the age of 17, the brave and courageous miqo'te said goodbye to her parents and relatively safe life, starting the life of adventure she so much desired. Now, by the tender age of 18, she is already a respectable adventurer with a lot of experience, and a lot of friends, who she will protect with tooth and nail from the dangers Hydaelyn might present.

"Eyes and sight guides my arrows, feet and boots leads my heart. Through these roads I shall walk, through many paths I will tread. My journal is an endless book. My dream...a traveler's dream." - Leanne Delphium

Character

Appearance

A girl with striking golden eyes, happy and cheerful features, Leanne is slightly smaller than most people, difference that become most obvious to her when besides roegadyns and elezens. She takes everything in a practical way, and that includes her appearance, with easy to breath shirt and trousers. The most iconic item of her attire is her headwear, a fancy hat which she bought midst the road. It is one of the very identities of Leanne, so much that most of her friends can immediately identify her just by the sight of the object. Leanne is of alluring beauty, fact that she more often than not ignores, as appearance is considered a secondary thing in her life.
Even though the seeker goes for the easy and practical, she actually puts a lot of care in her very long hair, a paradox to her usual methods. She refuses to cut it into a more easy to manage size, instead only trimming it so it doesn't get out of her control. Another glimpse of her vanity is the face paint she likes to use, and is never seen without.
As a result of recent events, she was forced to disguise herself for a short period of time. As such, her auburn hair was dyed into a deep red color, and more face painting changed into a more fearsome one. Another visible change is the black lipstick she now uses.

Behavior

Leanne is a very cheerful and enthusiastic girl, willing to help and hear anyone and everyone. She's quick to trust those even with more malicious intentions, and tries to deal with problems peacefully when possible. Her love of travel and experiences in Eorzea made her wise beyond her years, mind open to accept and sometimes partake in several, different cultures and customs. Somewhat naive in certain departments, but more often than not sharp, she's easily able to detect lies, something she mostly attributes to her "sharp eyes".
Recent events made Leanne mature even further, becoming more aware from the evils and duality of the world. Yet, for the sake of herself, she refuses to give into dark tendencies. Even though weary, she's motivated by others as well as her beliefs and heart, and through several probations, she still remains a virtuous, noble soul.

Combat

General/Physical

As a children, her "mascot" status between some of the Quivers and Wailers gave her access to a variety of weapons, as well as a bit of combat experience. Through these means, her excellent marksmanship was shown to the world, being able to pull remarkable stunts with a bow. It didn't take long for Leanne to focus herself on that strength of hers, not only with a bow, but with any ranged weapon she managed to get her hands into, becoming a very skilled sharpshooter. If her aim fails though, she develop keen skills at dodging attacks, as well as managed to mimick a few advanced pugilist moves. Even though she has shown potential in such art, such potential yet remains untapped.
Another skill recently developed was her prowess with daggers. Maybe a bleed-off from her potential as a pugilism, or perhaps the result of watching too many dagger wielders, Leanne is not wholly experienced, yet can be fearsome with the weapon. Marrying it with her aim and skill at knife-throwing though, the possibility becomes certain.

Magic

Leanne has -zero- experience with aether, the closest thing to manipulation she has coming from the fact she is a bard, manipulating the aether and people's emotions with her songs.

Relationships

Family

Leanne deeply loves her family, from her dutiful father, to her sweet and helping mother, and of course, her mischievous and equally carefree little brother.

C'thara Delphium: A former huntress of the coeurl tribe, nowadays a sweet mother who tends for her children. Leanne's major source of counseling, several characteristics of the younger miqo'te can be found in her mom, not only in thought, but also in appearance. Even though Leanne's not as fierce as C'thara, the matriarch saw in her daughter a mirror of her younger days in Leanne's insatiable wanderlust and drive for adventure. Initially against having Leanne shoving herself into danger, eventually she yielded to her daughter, and as of today, C'thara helps her daughter whenever she asks, and is filled with proud at each achievement she hears from the adventurer.
C'kahn Delphium: Former tia of the coeurl tribe, nowadays carpenter and leatherworker in Gridania. He was considered by everyone a weak man, yet, his sense of duty, determination and his utterly kind soul eventually managed to steal C'thara's heart, driving both him and his lover to find a new home in Gridania. C'kahn leaves Leanne's mentoring mostly to C'thara, as he also sees in Leanne a younger version of his wife, yet is not shy from helping her whenever she needs. The more doting parent, he was the one who gave to Leanne her chocobo.
Elliot Delphium: Leanne's younger brother, a very mischievous and carefree kid, who sees Leanne as an icon to follow and idolize, bringing a bit of jealousy into C'kahn, and giggling into C'thara. Currently practicing spear-fighting, he aims to reach Leanne, and someday surpass her.
Kyrin: Leanne's loyal pup, also known as the Little Bandit. Fearless and always happy, he's a constant source of happiness and trouble for Leanne, his love for bones surpassing the common knowledge that you don't try stealing them from crypts and reanimated skeletons.

Acquaintances

Rumours

(Feel free to add rumours!)
  • "Nice, friendly, accepting. These are the words I'd use to describe the best hat-wearer I know." - Franz Renatus
  • "Leanne? She's a friend of mine! And so much fuuuun! She's also got the best hat in all Eorzea!" - Aya Foxheart
  • "Miss Leanne is a special sort of person. Despite whatever is going on, she gives me hope." - Iron Sea
  • "That female is kind but is uncomfortable with the idea of cutting off limbs to give as tokens of affection. She is curious." - Atrium Crow
  • "Adventurous, but perhaps too impulsive. I pray she stops to think before getting herself into more trouble." - Coatleque Crofte
  • "Lady Leanne listens to her heart and it is quite beautiful. Is a rare gift to have." - Jancis Milburga
  • "Leanne's a bit headstrong, but it's a good thing she's got so many people around her to help take care of her, myself included." - Ha'uruh Nunh

Relations

Romantic Interest     Platonic Love      Good Standing     Poor Standing
Markus Krosse : Her bestie as she likes to say, Markus and Leanne met by pure coincidence after a drinking night in the Quicksand. After the event, they struck a deep friendship with each other, and she considers him one of his truest friends. Leanne would leave all things without hesitation just to rush for her most reliable comrade.
Ralena Tharin : Another bestie of hers, Ralena was the first person who Leanne met when she stepped into the Quicksand, quickly developing a friendship with the hyur. Ever since, you can find them talking and drinking at the place every so often, Ralena's more abrasive personality making a nice contrast to Leanne's as they throw jokes and banter at each other.
Aya Foxheart : A friend of the Quicksand, their cheerful disposition seems to marry perfectly. A conversation between them is more often than not accompanied with a big smile from both parties!
Coatleque Crofte : The sultansworn drew interest from Leanne at first sight, yet the air of nobility and order that came from the highlander strangely managed to intimidate Leanne, who is normally quick to chat with anyone. Nowadays though, Leanne fearlessly goes to walk with Crofte, greeting the knight with her usual big smile.
Franz Renatus : A garlean Leanne met, it took a while for her to discover his homeland, yet such discovery didn't deter Leanne of continuing her friendship, instead giving her a lot of curiosity, not only about Franz, but about Garlemald itself. She likes to consider herself a close friend of his.
Iron Sea : Iron and Leanne met each other during a night of drunken revelry. The event blossomed a friendship between then, which Leanne nurtures with much care. Always honest with the man, she tries to help him in anyway she can, either by being an ear for his worries, an comrade in the battlefield, or discuss certain acts.
Verad Bellveil : Source of laughs and also frustration, the dubious salesman strikes as a honest, yet eccentric man. Valiant certain times, a coward in other ones, serious, and yet goofy, Leanne personally loves his presence, even if said presence sometimes causes frustration to no end.
Edda Eglantine : She didn't have enough time to talk with her, but the time they talked was enough for Leanne to consider the hyur another good friend. She had yet to voice her opinion on Edda's treatment of Franz, and hopes to find in the future an opportunity to address it.
Jancis Milburga : Sparse were the moments they met, yet the politeness and care the midlander shows brings a grin and thankfulness from Leanne.
Natalie Mcbeef : A sultansworn, and Leanne's last opponent on her first victory in the grindstone. Her once dear friend is now a bittersweet memory, bringing Leanne a gentle sad smile and a reminder of the duality of Eorzea.
Fio Arasgain : A man she considers cute and fun to talk with, his crossdressing tendencies steal an amused smile from Leanne, in counterpart becoming embarrassed by his tendency to get more "touchy" than usual at times, either with requests of bed cuddling, or a single random peck at her lips that drove Leanne into a complete stuttering mess.
Koporo Aporo : A yet to be sultansworn Leanne chats with sometimes. She respects his determination, his idealism and chivalry, but thinks he should be a tad more calm.
Atrium Crow : An acquaintance Leanne met after the Crow incident. While she's fine with the woman, that doesn't change the fact that the seeker is wary of her, not because of her nature as an undead, but because of her lack of knowledge of how living beings work. Leanne deeply hopes that Atrium manages to fit in society, and is willing to help her do so.
Jameson Taeros : A man that Leanne deeply wishes to bring to justice, partly because of his wrongdoings, but mostly because of the wrongdoings towards her friends. Thought of killing him for a moment, said thought driven off by Iron, reminding her that she's not to be lost or have her soul tainted by the likes of people like him.
