She has held a number of occupations in her considerably long life, spends much of her time traveling and learning what she can about Eorzea, but more specifically, ancient culture and civilization.

Bearing Laterality Scars Ethereal, confident. Ambidextrous, right-handed preference when writing. One major scar (face), many minor (body). Hair & Eyes Her hair has carried a variety of styles and shades over the years, having started out her life with platinum blonde hair that lightened to white during her youth. She tends to bounce between colors, styles and lengths as so fits her. One week might find her with short black hair, while the next week brings with it an entirely different look. One thing she doesn't believe in when it comes to her hair is permanence. Her eyes are a steely shade of silver, and one of the most expressive parts of her, showing smiles that her lips might not curl to, and whatever mischief might definitely be on her mind. Physique & Markings Standing at six fulms and six ilms, Meallaire is tall for a woman, even an Elezen, and is a scant two ilms shorter than her husband and partner. Physically she's stockier than some Elezen, with a heft to her body that is a mixture of curve and muscle, the former much more apparent at first glance than the latter. She's grown more slender over the years, though her weight maintains because of the physical regimen she follows, easily half again as heavy as most women of her height and size. Facially she appears mature, but not old, looking to be in her early thirties. This youthful appearance is somewhat superficial, as the woman has easily seen more than the usual years of an Elezen of age, a lifespan is attributed to some damn fine alchemical work, conjuration, and an incredibly rigid daily regimen to keep her fit. She bears a single scar on her face, stretching up over her left eye and ending in the middle of her cheek. She has numerous smaller scars across her body, representing a life full of accidents, conflict, and the little things that leave their marks on us. Hygiene & Attire While she won't hesitate to get dirty, and even bloody, she prefers being clean a majority of the time. She carries a strong scent of evergreen and roses around her, beneath the smell of whatever other plant or alchemical mixture she happens to have been working with most recently. She does her best to wear clothing that is in excellent shape, but her attire is as varied as anything else about her might be. When in combat with a sword she prefers heavy plate, when utilizing her martial arts she prefers flexible leather armor that doesn't inhibit her movements, and when working spells she prefers robing with pockets and pouches to carry all of the components and other miscellaneous items she might need during the course of her work. Worn Items of Note ❄ A simple silver band with an ornate multicolored gem, her bond ring. ❄ A single stud piercing through her tongue, made of highly polished gemstone.

Personality In her youth she was a very quiet and studious intellectual who mostly kept to herself, the primary company in her life her father, aunt and the voices of the Elementals. Age has turned her serious, though she maintains an open-mind within certain subjects. She's an eager student to anything she hasn't yet learned, taking in knowledge about people, magic, combat, tradeskills, and ancient history with an ease that explains her current level of intellect. A lifetime littered with loss and sorrow has left its mark on her, with two of her five children buried in the ground, and a shroud of melancholy that drapes around her when left to her own introspective thought. When her family is involved, she's a very dedicated and affectionate individual, albeit also very protective, sometimes to the point of sheltering her loved ones. Though it takes quite a bit to rouse her to action, when she gets going, she's a very hot-blooded woman who has a cynical streak a mile long, and a sharp tongue to go along with it. That said, those who threaten her family find her to be quite fierce, as she shifts gears from an individual who prefers to rationalize everything, to someone who is suddenly flinging fists and spells in their direction with equal levels of ire and cold logic. With her youth spent traveling, she has a deep wanderlust that keeps her moving, with few places becoming 'home' for more than a year or two at best. Regardless of the almost nomadic lifestyle that she and her husband live, she'd drop all of her travels to come to the aid of those she cares for. Despite all of her growth and the changes she's undergone, some things will never change: she considers herself neither a villain nor a hero, but is capable of turning herself into either if pushed to it. Voice Smoky, warm and lilting, Mea's voice is exactly what one might expect from a grown woman, with the mannerisms to match. She speaks with a very even tone, rarely raising her voice even when angry, or highly emotional. Her accent is difficult to place, a cultured voice with a mostly indiscernible mixture of tones and words gained from her years of travel across the world. When incredibly upset, her voice comes across with a thicker brogue, one that makes her much more difficult to understand. Her singing voice is similarly husky, the kind of rich sound that makes one think of quiet bars with piano music flowing, or mothers cradling their infants and singing them to sleep in low tones. Philosophy & Mannerisms Meallaire has strong opinions and views, and her philosophical outlook tends to be just as strongly opinionated. As a woman who lives an open and relatively free lifestyle with her husband, she understands that free will and choice are extremely important in life, but just as important is maintaining that free will for others. As such, she does her best not to shove her attentions, affections, or interest on an individual who is unresponsive to her in any way. Her age has given her a unique perspective on life and the way many people live it. Many consider themselves good or evil, but she knows that life can't be quantified down into black or white, good or evil, and instead is fleshed out and flourishes only when the many shades of grey that lie between the darkness and light, between the two absolutes, is explored. When it comes to mannerisms, she has a few consistent traits to her. She's incredibly loyal when someone gains her trust. She does her level best not to make any promise she doesn't feel she can keep, even if that promise happens to sound rather outlandish at the time. She won't hesitate to teach anyone else who asks after her about any of the knowledge she's gained over the years. And she'd give up absolutely anything to protect her family, even her own life.

That said, I prefer freeform, and use what is referred to as an "interrupt" style of RP combat, in that when an action is performed, a description of the effects (such as in the case of spells, etc) it would have is included. It is then up to the other individual to defend against the action and/or mitigate the effects as they're described. Don't hesitate to send a /t if you have questions, or are uncertain about a specific action performed in a battle.
