Character

Lia2.png

General

Nicknames/Aliases: Lia, Dan (to annoy her)

Apparent Age: Early-to-Mid 20's

Sexuality: Heterosexual

Marital Status: Single

Religion: Devout follower of the Twelve

Patron: Nophica, the Matron

Alignment: Neutral Good





Appearance

  • Height: 5'2" Shorter than many Miqo'te, much to her chagrin.
  • Body: As befits her height, Liadan is built on slender, more petite lines, though she's not without curves. She has no visible scars or tattoos.
  • Face: Intelligent green eyes and skin pale enough to indicate she likely burns in strong sunlight.
  • Hair: Dark red and cut short with a blunt edge, it currently falls to just shoulder-length.
  • Clothing: Liadan most often wears a simple tunic and trousers, with a sturdy set of boots and a straw hat while roaming through the Shroud. She does, however, dress up for "formal" functions in service to the Conjurer's guild, wearing a variety of traditional robes for such occasions.


Behavior

  • Demeanor: Generally open, friendly, and helpful. By nature, Liadan is not the bravest of individuals - she's much happier off by herself working with animals or plants than she is in a crowded room. The Shroud itself is her "comfort zone," the place she feels strongest. While in the Shroud, she is much more outspoken and openly opinionated. Outside of the Shroud, she tends to be on guard and be much more measured in her behavior. However, if she feels threatened, she can become extremely recalcitrant and stubborn. She has a fiery temper that she works hard to suppress.
  • Quirks: Like many Forestborn, Liadan is suspicious and somewhat prejudiced against outsiders. She considers Ul'dah a "den of crooked merchants and thugs," and, well, Limsa is, after all, a city of pirates. She hates extreme cold and heat, which has given her an even lower opinion of Ul'dah and Thanalan in general. She has a deep fear of, and corresponding hatred for, Garleans.
  • Intelligence: Liadan is bright, for all that she was deprived of an education until fairly recently, but she can be quite naive about the dangers of knowledge. Though she comes from a peasant background, she's been taught to speak "properly" while training at the Stillglade Fane.

Combat

General

  • Style: Liadan is a small woman, and no physical match for most hardened warriors. Her best bet is to attack from ranged and never let someone bigger and stronger than she is get too close. She has marginal skill with archery, having spent her formative years often hunting for food for her family. Her skill with Conjury, however, is far superior.
  • Strengths: Liadan is extremely adept with Conjury - including wielding the wrath of the elements against those who would harm her or those around her. She is fast on her feat, and has a good aim with a bow, though she rarely carries one.
  • Weaknesses: She has almost no training in physical combat, and lacks the stomach for it in most cases. Her nature is to fight defensively, without the intent to do serious harm or kill, which can prove a problem when facing an aggressive opponent with no such scruples. Because of her size and relative strength level, she's likely no match for a trained warrior if she doesn't resort to magic.

Hobbies/Talents

  • Reading
  • Cooking (she's only a passable cook at the moment)
  • Learning new techniques of Conjury
  • Liadan is a Hearer, which is to say that she was born with an innate talent to hear the voices of the Elementals that control the Black Shroud. Every Hearer is a Conjurer born, but not every Conjurer is a Hearer. Hearers are born, not made.

Other

  • Favorite Food: Shepherd's Pie
  • Favorite Color: Blue
  • Favorite Flower: Trillium

Relationships

Family

Liadan's family was killed shortly during the Calamity during a raid on their small, isolated village in the Eastern Shroud. As far as she knows, there were no survivors, and she has no next of kin.

Friends

  • Teveriel Anduin - An Elezen native to Gridania she met while training at the Stillglade Fane. She delights in teasing him, trying to break through his reserved nature.
  • Khyros Orobon - A chance encounter in the East Shroud led to the two having a conversation. He's one of the few people she's ever met from Ul'dah, and one of the only ones she can stand.
  • Sylas Peregrine - Having realized that Sylas is genuinely trying to understand Conjury, Liadan attempted to help him out. Though, it's a tossup as to whether she succeeded.
  • Theodric Ironheart - Known to Liadan as a refugee from Ala Mhigo, she has great sympathy for the rather morose fellow.

Enemies

None quite yet...

Something Else

  • Val Nunh - A chance encounter in the East Shroud sparked an interesting discussion. She's curious about the strange Miqo'te, and doesn't quite know what to make of him.
  • Garryson Shipkeeper - Liadan chanced to meet him during her first (and only, thusfar) trip to Ul'dah. His manner through her off. Her own background has her convinced that no one is as open and honest about anything - nor do strange men offer strange women large sums of money for legitimate employment.

Rumors

Common Rumors (Easily overheard)

  • "Oh, she's peasant-born, didn't you know?" - Gossipy Elezen
  • "She's one of them Hearers. They speak for the Elementals, don't you know?" - Elderly Gridanian Commoner
  • "Oh, her entire family was killed during the Calamity." - Neutral Serpent Sergent

Moderate Rumors (Moderately difficult to overhear)

  • "I heard she filled an entire storeroom in the Fane with her odds and ends. Strange one, that girl." - Gossiping Wood Wailer
  • "Supposedly she came to the Fane completely untrained, yet was able to Conjure. I think it's a load of bullshit, personally." - Jealous Conjurer
  • "You know she didn't even know how to read when she came to Gridania? Honestly, I wonder what E-Sumi-Yan sees in her..." - Disapproving Elezen

Rare Rumors (Very difficult or rarely overheard)'

  • "The story I got was that she channeled the power of the Elements when her village was sacked. They said she killed a squad of Imperial Soldiers by herself. Hard to believe, but..." - Skeptical Serpent Corporal
  • "She didn't speak for first two months after she got here. Miounne said that she..." - Watchful Wood Wailer
  • "She healed my son. They said it was the will of the forest, but she healed him anyway. She took the poison right out of him and banished it, she said! But...but, she said they couldn't know..." - Grateful Villager
