— Minstrelle Vulpie —

“Perfection is the universe as it is.”
- ᚖ -

In the midst of the forest sits a lone figure. Her small form is wrapped in an oversized coat and her eyes are cast towards the star-spangled sky. She is completely still; a tranquil yet uncanny sight. As you approach, you notice that her lips are tense and you quickly realise that her whole body seems on edge. When she senses you, she turns to meet your gaze with wary eyes. A few seconds pass before she finally speaks. "I'm so cold," she stammers between chattering teeth. "Do you know how to make a fire?"

— Appearance —

General

At first glance, she appears to be in her late teens. Her chest-length black hair is fashioned into loose pigtails that bounce around her childlike cheeks. She wears no makeup, piercings, or tattoos. Her figure is slim such that her feminine features resemble an adolescent's rather than a woman's, with small breasts and a thin waist. The only indicators of her physical maturity are her hips and thighs, which are fuller relative to the rest of her body. Her eyes, which are oftentimes unfocused or downcast, betray an existence that contradicts both her appeared and actual age.

Clothing

"I hate shopping." Anyone who has travelled with her long enough to visit a city would hear her grumble something akin to this. She adorns herself in simple, yet flattering clothing that more fashionable individuals may find plain. Accentuating her figure is an added bonus, secondary to being practical and keeping her warm.

Voice

Others describe her speaking voice as melodious, sweet, and resonant. Her vocal range spans three octaves, though those unlucky enough to hear her range extension exercises would say otherwise.

Habits

She tends to avoid eye contact, fumble with her hands, and laugh a little too easily. When she crosses her arms and tenses her shoulders, it's not necessarily because she's defensive; she's just chilly. She is also prone to stealing food to get by when her daily earnings are insufficient.

— Personality —

On a superficial level, she is charismatic, empathetic, and coy. She has a knack for grounding others when emotions rise and carries an air of serenity about her that makes people feel at ease. But Minstrelle is a woman of deception at best, and a compulsive liar at worst. Spend enough time with her, and one may find her occasional narcissistic comments off-putting and to the keener observer, her seemingly refined personality conceals a number of unsettling insecurities. The few who know her on an intimate level eventually learn that among these character flaws, she struggles to suppress behaviours indicative of a more dangerous personality disorder.

— History —

Childhood

She smiles brightly and recalls being raised in Sharlayan. "And yourself?" It is apparent, by her constant diversions, that she is not one to delve into her family history. But in that instantaneous grin that emerges whenever asked, those who know her see the slight twist in her lip that follows.

Teens

"I was a try-hard bookworm," she laughs. "How about you?" But despite her light-hearted question, there is panic in her tensed hands and her gaze quickly flickers to the door and back. You recall hearing rumours about her being a runaway convict from Sharlayan but you quickly discard these suspicions and offer your response as she fills your tea cup.

Present

Her tone, for once, becomes serious. Her eyes linger on your face for an uncharacteristically long moment and she tells you that she is looking for her older brother. She explains that she only has vague memories of him from when she was a child and that she unfortunately cannot recall his face or any distinguishing features. Yet, she is determined to find her long lost sibling and he is the reason behind her peregrine lifestyle as a musician- and healer-for-hire. Her smile returns. "I'm hungry! Would you like some of my bread?"

— Relationships —
romance friendship enemies

Closed

She shies away from romantic relationships as she believes this will only cause pain on both ends when she inevitably leaves. However, any bards out in the world who duet with her will have a special place in her heart forever.

Open

She is always open to meeting new friends, but her relationships are often as fleeting and frivolous as her giggles. Can you be the one she opens up to?

Open

Be warned: those who wrong her are met with vicious reprimand and sometimes outright cruelty.

— Hooks —

Exploration

Minstrelle is still new to Eorzea in general and hasn't experienced much of what it has to offer. She loves exploring every nook and cranny of new areas, especially with a companion. This is mostly because she needs someone to depend on for survival, though she probably won't admit that.

Gameplay

As healing is her passion and expertise, she rarely ever turns away a fellow adventurer in need. If you'd like to employ her services, all she asks for in return is your company (and maybe some fire at night).

Performance

Minstrelle lives up to her name. She loves to sing and is constantly seeking to brave the performance arts and overcome her stage fright. Feel free to request a performance if you'd like to listen or even better, duet!

Emotional support

Is your character struggling with an emotional dilemma? Minstrelle is a self-proclaimed healer of the mind who uses words as part of her arsenal. (Please don't let OOC spill into this; I'm not providing therapy).

Family

If you'd like to roleplay any of her family members (biological mother or father, adoptive mother or father, estranged older brother), please message me OOC first so we can discuss details. For consistency though, her biological parents are Auri Raen and her adoptive parents raised her in Sharlayan. The character of her brother is flexible.

Others

Please don't feel restricted to those listed above. If you have ideas of your own you'd like to create together, I'd love to hear them!

Notes

▹ I'm new to roleplay and Final Fantasy in general but am always willing to learn and improve. In terms of literacy, I'd like to believe that my abilities meet roleplay standards but I'll let you be the judge of that. :P
▹ I'm very busy and my schedule is rather volatile, so please be patient with me if you wish to rp together. I'm open to both long- and short-term roleplay relationships as well as single scenes. If you prefer longer relationships, please be warned that I may have trouble committing to lengthy filler interactions that don't have a purpose.
▹ I'm in my early 20s so I'd prefer to roleplay with someone old enough to talk about mature topics (mental health/illness, death, child abuse, etc.).
▹ I'm not open to ERP or OOC romantic relationships.
▹ Apologies if you find my IC's profile vague or barebones. This is to avoid giving info or spoilers to those who would like to learn more about her history and present character in game. However, if you are curious or feel like it would help develop our RP more, please message me OOC and I can provide extra details.
