Livia prefers to know others than be known herself. She often seems crass, disorganized and unpredictable, but has occasionally shown herself to be deliberate. Ultimately she is swayed far more by the promise of an interesting outcome than a good one, which contributes to her reputation for causing disorder. At her best, she is welcoming, friendly, and entertaining. Simultaneously, she is severe and favors extreme approaches while placing little bearing on the morality of her decisions.

Livia prefers to know others than be known herself. While seldom outright lying, she has perfected the art of being deliberately misleading.

Livia has a remarkable talent for withstanding a beating and will often be back on her feet immediately after taking serious hits. She prefers to resolve her wounds independently and will tend to herself privately after combat. Her intense and ridiculous sense of pride prevents her from just about ever seeking aid, even if she is being irrational, because it risks portraying her as weak and dependent. She is largely prone to distraction, heavily self-interested, and extremely present-oriented.

Livia Crane
Friendly Antagonist
About
Name... Livia Crane
Alias... Unknown
Age... 29
Gender... Female
Race... Hyur
Clan... Midlander
Orientation... Doesn't think too hard about it
Marital... Attached
Deity... Unobservant
Nationality... Unknown

Alignment... Chaotic Neutral
Appearance: Livia stands slightly tall for a midlander with snowy hair that hangs just below her shoulders and frames otherwise delicate features. Her poppy red eyes stand out starkly against otherwise muted coloring to reflect an often happy disposition, under which is concealed an unreadable nature. Her build is toned and reflects extensive usage of her weapon of choice, while her posture is dignified, in evident contrast to the majority of what comes out of her mouth.
Scars & Markings: A significant faded scar along her left rib marks her first injury from a weapon. She currently bears a long scar across her face from being swiped at by a broken bottle, but that mark has begun slowly fading away. Other than that, she has surprisingly few visible scars for someone as inclined toward violence as she is.
Voice: Surprisingly modulated, though her voice can reflect at times that she is very animated. Her vernacular tends to vary significantly depending on who she's speaking with. While initially she spoke with a heavy dialect, this faded over several moons to a far more coherent speech pattern.
Clothing: Livia favors black, white, and red. She doesn't have especially refined tastes, and instead often wears items more suitable for movement should she find herself in unexpected combat. She does not leave the house without her face obscured.

Livia's Father, a Lominsan physician. He treats mostly children and routine trauma. He owned a orchard in Middle La Noscea where the trees supplied aether used for conjury. Livia has not seen him in 20 years. He is generous, kind, and optimistic. He is more often traveling on house calls than his wife.
Livia's Mother, a Lominsan physician. She performs the bulk of the autopsies in the region. The more accomplished of her parents, Marigold is an expert on infectious diseases.She owned a orchard in Middle La Noscea where the trees supplied aether used for conjury. Livia has not seen her in 20 years. She is solitary, quick witted, and friendly. Holding a reverence for the cycle of life and with the intention of raising her daughter in physical medicine, Marigold often had Livia sit in on autopsies while parenting.
Livia considers Anaguma a close friend. Their relationship was strained early on since Livia drugged him for information and managed to avoid discipline for it. She also enjoyed sparring with him, but his holding back has left the experiences unsatisfying. Since then she has seen him only sparingly.
Livia hasn't had much time with Ahzra'li, but recently he was he target of much of her ire in an event where he kept a steady head and Livia did not. She acknowledges he was not at fault and feels some remorse for her behavior.
Livia knows a little of Atlan's troubled past and thinks bad luck just seems to follow him. He seems to be a decent person who keeps picking the wrong crowds to run in. He was electrocuted on her behalf once, so she assumes that means they're now pals for life.
Livia is gentler with Biast than she is with most people. She sees no issue with continuing to supply him with substances while keeping him busy because she favors monitoring his usage rather than having him risk complications from withdrawal.
Cierra correctly intuited that Livia and Dovienya were involved when Livia was still trying to keep that information quiet. After speaking candidly about their relationships, Cierra agreed to use discretion and Livia was thankful for that. The two went on an outing to try and retrieve Dovienya's axe to study, and Livia found Cierra to be a professional and reliable companion.
Livia has known Cemi for a long time, but barely spoken with her. She felt intense remorse after Cemi was nearly killed on the only personal mission Livia had requested after she had become a Courtier. She has since tried to be more amicable with her, though doesn't see her often.
Charlant supplied Livia with a generous amount of potions early on in their relationship. She views him as a confusing and enjoyable presence in her life, as well as a discreet alchemist who will humor her without asking questions for the right price.
Livia appreciates Dalmar's sense of duty and his sense of morality. She finds him mature for his age, but enjoys pushing his buttons because unlike him, she is not mature for her age.
Livia and Dovienya have a complex relationship. Livia was initially paranoid in their relationship once she suspected the woman was looking into her background, prompting her to drug Anaguma for answers after he had flaunted that he knew where she grew up. After the introduction of Siegebreaker to the court, Livia insulted Dovienya by trying to buy her off to keep her quiet about who she was around the man, and breaking her link pearl when the woman refused to put a price on her loyalty. Livia eventually apologized and the two grew to know each other better. They have since grown very close, though Livia keeps just about the entirety of their relationship private.
Livia was too distracted arguing with Marcus to successfully assassinate this man. She now finds herself obligated to holding up the terms of the sham agreement she negotiated with him.
Livia was skeptical about Madeleine at first due to her continued association with the Adders. She has since come around to enjoying the woman's gall. She finds her brazen and tenacious, if not slightly irresponsible.
Marcus admitted Livia into the court as an extra hand. She drugged and robbed him soon after. She enjoyed frustrating him in particular, but is now is struggling with how to un-do the damage she did to their relationship, especially given her involvement with his wife.
Livia views Nylora as a troubled teenager. She originally opted to teach Nylora how to wield an axe, but backed away from the proposition inexplicably and instead assigned her apprentice for Pandora in the medical bay.
Tempest was there with Marcus when Livia was admitted to the court, and her first task was organizing Tempest's books. She did a poor job. Livia probably likes her a little more for Tempest having slapped her once since she's the only person Livia has acknowledged as having held her accountable for her actions.
Livia has been apprehensive about Tsarnai since learning she had hidden her identity and posed as a midlander for the first few moons they knew each other. That she was born a Moks makes Livia suspect she may have been reporting to her clan on sensitive information.
Livia met Vado when they were out drinking, and in his drunken state, he tried to remove her mask. She knocked him out and beat him up. She is also responsible for his drowning. After he had implied she had no concern for anyone but herself, the two fought and Vado inadvertently electrocuted Atlan instead of her. Though they were broken up, they still haven't quite resolved their differences.
Livia and Xiang joined the court at the same time. Livia enjoyed Xiang's company and the two spent a lot of time making poor choices together. She considers Xiang a close friend.

■ "Aye that's her, the one with the big axe and funky helmet. Now the password we got going for this is 'Oranges' just in case some of the Blades come by. So say the password to her a few times and she'll hook you up, my friend." - Anagna Kenesa, to some poor sod he isn't particularly fond of."
■ "The mask she wears? A facade. It's a cover for the true mask she wears, one that she wears knowingly but unwillingly. There is something there behind those pretty eyes of hers, something wrong that I can't quite place. She will take that mask off one day, I wonder if she'll be okay when she finds out who she is."

Personal RP Limits
■ I will play mature content and themes (violence, sexuality, drug / alcohol use) as long as they're logical in a plot-driven encounter. Coarse and excessive language. Temporary injury and incapacitation. Temporary imprisonment. Most walk-up encounters.
■ Ask about long-term and/or permanent injury and disfigurement. Long-term captivity or imprisonment.
■ I won't play permanent character death. Please don't try to force or trick her into eating meat (it's a weird OOC thing, I know hahaha), thanks!
Disclaimer
■ I'm a little newer to the RP in an open world, so if I appear to be breaking a norm or make you in any way uncomfortable, I'd appreciate if you could just shoot me a tell. There's a bit of a learning curve and I still find myself making minor faux pas, and unless someone says something, it may take me a while to realize it. That being said, I did want to note that while I am a patient and understanding person, Livia doesn't necessarily have those qualities and I do not consider her to be a good person. Please don't be upset if she is unkind to your character- this is the only thing that has caused me misunderstandings as far as I am aware. If she is causing your character issues, please do feel free to respond accordingly! I welcome for my character to suffer consequences for her actions IC.
