Basic Info
Mina Keatley is a bardl and adventurer who lives in Ul’dah. She frequently gives performances all over Eorzea, and also spends time doing mercenary work for various Free and Grand Companies. Mina is a civilian member of the Red Wings, a unit of the Immortal Flames.
Appearance
Mina is often smiling, her green eyes sparkling. Her hair cycles through a rainbow of colors, but is usually a shade of blue. She loves flashy, finely made clothes, and smells of rose perfume. From regular practice with the bow and harp, Mina’s hands are calloused. Her voice is lyrical, and it’s hard to place an accent--though she talks like someone well educated.
History
Mina doesn’t often speak of her life before the Calamity and it’s hard to determine where her early years were spent. During the Calamity, when she was just 16, Mina turned up alone in New Gridania. A kind citizen took pity on her, offering the girl a place to stay and pointing her toward some paying work. Mina began assisting the Wood Wailers in the Shroud with simple tasks: message delivery, basic first aid, and the like. Soon after, Mina began training with a master bard. Though she was already well-versed in both music and archery, she learned to weave spells into her songs to lift the spirits of her allies.
Through hard work, Mina eventually started to gain a reputation as a minstrel, supporting herself through mercenary work and performing.
At age 21, Mina’s life changed rapidly. A chance meeting with an Ul’dahn paladin, Aryk Rhaal, led to love and an engagement, and Mina moved out of her apartment in Gridania. She currently resides with Aryk in Sable Hall, the home of the Red Wings.
Under the stage name The Blue Rose, Mina sings at events, taverns, and even on the battlefield.
Personality
Outgoing, kind-hearted, and cheerful, Mina loves stories, songs, and performing. She fills her living space with flowers, and enjoys meeting new people.
Conversely, Mina’s flamboyant nature makes her needy of attention. She’s vain and occasionally sulky.
OOC Notes
- Server: Balmung
- I play late nights, usually around 8:00 p.m. PST.
- Always seeking new RP friends, ranging from casual tavern conversations to adventures and long-lasting plots.
- Mina is available for hire as a minstrel for events (I will mangle Shakespeare sonnets and other poetry). It generally works best if she’s more of a “background” bard, rather than central stage.
