Appearance

Lydix is a literal behemoth of a woman, lacking most traits of other highlander women. She towers over most of her race at a staggering six fulms and four ilms, carrying more muscle that is normal for highlanders. She's quite fond of her physique, taking careful care of her weight and stature so that she doesn't fall below or gain any unnecessary weight. Long days underneath the sunlight has given her a sun-kissed tan that darkens the tattoos across her face and arms, and her face is constantly dirtied from her job as a sellsword. Golden blonde hair long and unruly atop her head, braids woven in on either side. Due to the years of rivalries and sparring, a bump has formed on the bridge of her nose, once-straight now crooked. It leads down to full lips and a small mole dotting the outer corner of the right side of her mouth. Due to an unfortunate event of trying to dispel a curse only to have it end up in an explosion, Lydix's left eye had to be removed due to irreparable damage and is covered by an eyepatch.

Unladylike, she walks with her shoulders and is often mistaken for a male or even a Roegadyn female, though she takes it in stride and is often found grinning. Clad in heavy armor or form-fitting clothes, her hands are often resting on her hips when she's relaxing and she's never without any sort of weapon (if she is, it's more than likely that she just rolled out of bed). Her outfits are generally dark in color, her being fond of black, reds, and purples, and she's never seen without any sort of trousers. Being narcissistic about her own physique, she can be found wearing a revealing top, mostly to show off her abdomen and biceps, when she's not on a job of course.

Bio

NOTE: Most of this stuff is considered OOC knowledge, unless you've participated in roleplays.

Born to an Ishgardian family by the name of Marielle Lydia Normand, the large woman would scrap the name and lifestyle and become known as "Lydix" after the Calamity. Upon meeting a lalafellin sorceress known as Nanarou Garnin in the icy recesses of Coerthas, she was hired as a bodyguard for the woman and be brought to the city-state Ul'dah where she'd soon learn of the turmoil happening. It wouldn't take her long to advertise herself as a sellsword and mercenary, managing to lay low but obtain work when she was not needed by the Maelstrom lieutenant, and convincing the unknowing that she was just another Ala Mhigan looking for work.

As the years passed and friendships were made, it would be discovered that Lydix was a knight from Ishgard, fighting in past wars before abandoning her post to join a mercenary squadron for the army. Growing comfortable to drop her act, she now allows her Ishgardian accent to flow freely. Lydix still often promotes her work in hopes for a more reliable and stable job, though her appearance has been less frequent in the southern continent, having been staying up north for reasons unknown.

Behavior

Lydix is much more friendly nowadays than how she used to be, mistrusting and weary of anyone she's met, whereas now she often attends public and social events and can be found relaxing in taverns. It would depend on the situation of how someone has met Lydix, but she's amiable despite her brute appearance if there isn't any conflict happening. When there is and she's involved, she becomes stern and commanding but remains light-hearted until the problem has been solved. On the sidelines, especially on the defending side, she's exuberates confidence that is often mistake for cockiness. With close friends, she's easy-going and confident but also caring and protective. With her lover, she shows utmost adoration and devotion, and anyone who dares hurt them has another thing coming.

Family

  • Adalard Normand ( ) - Father

Once a well-known and respected soldier of Ishgard, Adalard was injured in battled that left him with a permanent hobble, forcing him to retire from his lancer days at the age of 32. Everything went downhill from there, according to Lydix, when Adalard's penance for injury was used up by the three eldest brothers, leaving Adalard and Viviane with almost nothing to their name. Him and his wife now residing in the Brume, they live out their days helping those less fortunate and disabled. Before her last visit to Ishgard, Lydix hadn't seen her family in nearly sixteen years but decided it was best to not linger for long. It was a short and sweet reunion, but Lydix still overlooks the two, disappointed in how their lives turned out to be.

  • Viviane Normand née Proulx ( ) - Mother
Having met Adalard at a very young age, the two happily wed at the ages of 18 and 19, him a new soldier in the army and Viviane an up-and-coming astrologian. She had her first child, Séraphin, only a few months later after their wedding and the Normand family was beginning to climb the ranks of of Ishgard's social class. After Adalard's permanent injury, Viviane retired from her teachings to tend to her husband and family, their social status only going downhill. Payments became unpaid and lack of bodies from the Normand family had them looked down upon and only within a few years, the family moved to the Brume. Viviane now spends her days healing the wounded, no payment required if the victim is unable to provide.
  • Jori Normand ( ) - Brother (36)
To Lydix's knowledge, Jori participated in robbing their parents of their remaining fortunes and while that may be true in his younger years, Jori grew out of the robbery. Feeling the need to have the Normand name resurface in the ranks of the Ishgardian army, he follows in his father's footsteps of becoming a dragoon and is there the moment his city-state calls him. Within the past five years, he's made a name for himself in hope that one day he can return the family's social ranking and have them spend the rest of their lives in comfortable and luxurious livings. He's lost contact with Pierre and Séraphin, having decided their toxic lifestyles would only hinder him.
  • Pierre Normand ( ) - Brother (42)
  • Séraphin Normand ( ) - Brother (45)
  • Adeline née Normand ( ) - Daughter (12)
Lydix had just turn 21 when Adeline was born, the father another mercenary in Lydix's squadron named Marcello Faure. Due to her unsafe and unstable lifestyle, Adeline had to be given to an orphanage and currently lives out her days there, unknowing of her parents identities. Lydix is currently seeking better care for the girl, but continues to remain anonymous.
