She worries that if anything were to happen to her, some of her charges would end up in a similar situation to hers; selling themselves on the streets to make ends meet.

She has no idea who 'H' is, or how he got her out of such a hopeless situation, but she fears what such a debt might entail. </li> |

In tandem with a coalition of Zozola's friends, Mynne was able to both locate and help free Lily from Lydaea's clutches.

Though she resisted joining up with a band up to this point, she sees it now becoming a necessary evil. She cannot continue to protect both herself and her charges without support. Unfortunately for Mynne, her poor attitude has already strained her relationship with her potential partner and the first few days have not gone well. Desperate for a sense of security for her charges, she swallowed her pride and humbled herself somewhat to appeal to both Zed and Zozola with offerings of peace and information of import for both. Only time will tell if either of her two desperate contacts pan out. | ||

Mynne first heard of Zozola when Lily desperately asked for Mynne's assistance in finding the woman who had gone missing. Accepting the job as a favor to Lily, Mynne began tracking down Zozola by looking into her life circumstances. She did not like what she saw. She learned of Zozola's wealthy upbringing and found herself detesting the woman for having grown up in such luxury. As she learned more and more about Zozola's family, she grew to despise the woman both for what she saw as excessive opulence as well as a bit of jealousy in seeing how much Lily cared for Zozola. When the two finally met, Mynne made her opinion well known, insulting Zozola and generally talking down to the lalafell. Later when it was Lily's turn to go missing, Zozola pleaded to Mynne for help in finding her lover. Mynne would have done it in any case, but the woman pounced on the opportunity to humble Zozola - requesting an exorbitant amount of money as well as a night together in bed with her. Mynne cared little for the gil, but relished the idea of dominating the woman, perhaps seeing it as a way of humilating Zozola whom she saw as party to excessiveness. Lily was later returned per the contract, though Mynne has yet to claim her prize. It is unknown why she has delayed in claiming her spoils, though it is likely that she is simply enjoying the thought of Zozola worrying about it. | Mynne first heard of Zozola when Lily desperately asked for Mynne's assistance in finding the woman who had gone missing.

+ | For reasons known only to Mynne, she has continued to follow Zozola from venture to venture, most recently following her to the Purple Orchid Cabaret. Perhaps it is simply because Mynne enjoys tormenting the poor woman, or perhaps because they have a mutual use for each other, the two have a tenuous partnership together. More likely, though, it is their mutual connection to Lily that prevents the two from ever totally being rid of one another. Whatever the reason, Mynne continues to pop up in Zozola's business, much to the lalafell's chagrin. | ||

+ | Another of Lily's friends, Lalamune and Mynne very nearly came to destructive blows against each other. Unable to stop herself from antagonizing the powerful scholar, Mynne pushed the wrong buttons at the wrong time and nearly brought ruinous disaster down upon herself. As is so often the case with Mynne, she managed to survive and escape the situation unscathed. As Lalamune is now a member of the Purple Orchid, he too often finds himself entangled with frequent run-ins with the Miqo'te. Everything came to a head one evening when violence threatened to erupt a second time between the two, staved off only by the unexpected intervention of Zozola on Mynne's behalf. Later, Mynne and Lalamune were seen chatting at the Purple Orchid's bar like old friends. Nobody knows what the two talked about, but the bartender watched the two of them talk late into the night together before leaving together. | ||

+ | Zahdeh'a, or 'Zed' is yet another friend of Lily's that Mynne found herself entangled with. Mynne watched Lily become increasingly involved with the man night after night at the Whispered Wish, and ended up doing some reconaissance work of her own upon the man... for Lily's safety of course. To her surprise, Mynne found information on Zed to be frustratingly scarce to come by... which could only mean the man was a fellow master of intrigue. Finding herself fascinated by the prospect, she continued to shadow the man and his organization while keeping her distance in order to ensure Lily's safety. | ||

Remembering Zed and his organization, she decided to approach the man seeking a way to ingrain herself into his organization and find a proper home for her gutterchildren. As she often did in the past, she used her charms and haughty nature to try and push the man offbalance. Much to Mynne's surprise, she succeeded only in antagonizing her potential employer and soured their relationship almost immediately. With a healthy dose of newfound respect for Zed and his apparent immunity to her manipulations, she was forced to go with a more unfamiliar route: proving herself by actual deed. | ||

She rarely talks of them to anybody, hoping to keep them hidden from any that would use them against her. There was a seventh gutterchild - Scratch - that Mynne had adopted, but he died when he tried to cut the wrong coinpurse, a cruel victim of circumstance.

General Information
Mynne is the quintessential street waif of Ul'dah. She never knew her mother or father and grew up in the dark alleyways of Ul'dah in squalor and poverty. A survivor of the harsh circumstances of her birth, she has fought tooth and nail to cling to life in a world that never wanted her. Surviving by any means necessary and using every onze of guile and instinct inherent within her, Mynne carved out a niche for herself in the seedy underbelly of Ul'dah's darker corners. Having grown up into a woman without the experience of a true childhood or the loving nurturing of a family, Mynne is a bitter individual. Her carefree demeanour conceals her harsh view of the world, seeing it as a cold and uncaring place where the powerful control the weak.
These days, Mynne is typically found out and about looking for easy marks or easier work. She is ever willing to snatch a purse, rob a noble's house, or perform other such activities as these are the only skills she learned in her time as an urchin. Always on the lookout for ways to make gil to support her burgeoning network of contacts, Mynne has begun to branch out to the other city-states in pursuit of opportunities. Recently, she has begun to take up a variety of jobs locating people or objects and has been instrumental in the success of several operations. Her ability to get the job done has begun to afford her the grudging respect that she has always craved, though her caustic attitude often sours those she would impress.
Appearance
Mynne is rather skinny and lithe, a combination of her life with minimal nutrition and careful cultivation of her body proportions. Her snow-white shoulder-length hair is relatively well-maintained, primarily to keep strands of hair out of her eyes for maximum ability to see when needed. Her forehead has strips of leonine markings, a hereditary quirk from an unknown mother.
Mynne primarily wears loose fit clothing with an ample amount of visible skin and curves, seeking to show off her form in order to manipulate her targets to get what she wants. Cocky and confident, Mynne regards most folks who approach her with a mixture of curiosity and anticipation; are they a customer or a mark?
A socializer by nature, Mynne can be loud and attention seeking... when she wants to be. She enjoys getting in people's business just to stir the pot and has little time for those who can't "take a joke".
Personality
Personality Traits
- Cocky
- Confrontational
- Flirtacious
- Bitter
- Sneaky
- Manipulative
- Crude
- Skilled
- Survivalist
- Cute
- Apathetic
- Cynical
Mannerisms
Mynne is a button-pusher, often actively antagonizing people who are otherwise leaving her alone. She does this typically as a way to alleviate boredom, but also as a method of gauging a person's ability to react to the situations around them. If one proves themself a fool or an otherwise mirthless person, Mynne will likely mark them as a target for later, seeking to relieve them of their Gil purse. She relishes control, seeking to dangle people on puppet strings to her own ends as she craves the situational control denied to her for most of her life.
Mynne looks at the world from the perspective of one who never had a childhood, instead seeing the world as a place where the predators feed on the weak and helpless. Determined to never again be that vulnerable girl in the alley, Mynne goes out of her way to present herself as a capable and confrontational woman so as to keep the bullies away. A tad cynical and always suspicious of one's motives, Mynne is slow to trust, and even slower to forgive.
Generally when she is out and about, Mynne is a mingler - seeking to find those willing to buy her drinks and otherwise keep her entertained. Such relationships rarely last though, Mynne typically growing tired of these people and abandoning them for something new and fresh. Still, for those willing to put up with the woman, they can find themselves enjoying their time in the company of the fun-loving Miqo'te.
Philosophy & Ideals
Mynne is severely critical of wealth and those who flaunt it. Having experienced and seen the hardships of poverty firsthand, she sees those with excessive wealth as gluttonous blights on society and she typically will do everything in her power to cut them down to size. What little mercy she used to have for the elites has been eroded away by a lifetime of abuse and more than one nobleman has found themselves waking up in a dark Ul'dahn alley - naked, bruised and nearly beaten to death.
Despite her sharp and caustic nature towards society in general, Mynne does have a tender side she works hard to suppress. A run-in with a friendly white mage has given her a brief taste of conjury, and she enjoys the feeling of control it gives her when she can use it upon those she feels are deserving. Unlike many practitioners of the art though, Mynne is perfectly fine with withholding it from those she feels do not deserve it. - mainly those who "brought it on themselves" or did some wrong in her eyes.
Mynne has six 'siblings' that she supports, and most of the money she gets in heists and jobs typically goes towards these six in an attempt to spare them from the fate that she endured growing up. Having lost a seventh to the streets already, she is fiercely protective of the other six to the point of violent retribution upon anybody who threatens them.
Rarely does Mynne speak of her personal life, but given enough alcohol and the rare acquaintance that she actually enjoys the company of, Mynne is willing to lower the barriers slowly. Those who get to know her and earn her hard-to-win respect will find that Mynne is a steadfast and reliable ally to have though such partnerships are doomed to fail without patience on their part.
Personality Tidbits and Random Facts
- Mynne loves to manipulate others into buying her things, using her charm and good looks to get free drinks and other luxuries.
- Mynne is no stranger to more base pleasures and is often found carousing in cheap taverns or taking her pleasures in brothels.
- She enjoys taking on challenges that others would shy away from, especially where gil is concerned. Mynne often adopts an attitude of "having nothing to lose" and is fond of high-risk high-reward scenarios.
- Mynne fights dirty, not above cheap shots and dirty tricks when backed into a corner. More than one aggressor has found themselves seeing stars after a well-placed blow to their lower regions when Mynne feigned surrender.
- Mynne would never admit it in a hundred years, but she has a fascination with cute clothing. She often spends her time near the tailor's guild, watching folks who wander in and out with new trends and fashions.
- Always on the lookout for a quick score, Mynne frequently can be found in and around adventurers guilds; particularly when she sees a posting that she thinks she can finagle. (Usually by stealing the requested item in question)
- Mynne never knew her mother or father, and often has a hard time reconciling bonds of familial affection. The closest thing she has to such is her bond to her six gutterchildren.
- Mynne has no idea what her true surname was, and has adopted the surname 'Rosalia' rather than adhere to typical Miqo'te surnames. She is so named due to her nickname on the streets where people would comment on her rosy cheeks, often nicknaming her "Rosie".

Early Life
Childhood
Mynne isn't quite sure how she ended up in Ul'dah, or who her mother and father were. Most likely, her mother was a woman who sold her body on the streets for coin and abandoned the babe as soon as she gave birth. Her infant years are a blur of lost memories, shadowy figures passing the babe from hand to hand with dark motives and darker intentions. Barely kept alive by scraps of moldy food she would find outside restaurants and trash cans, Mynne eventually turned up on the streets as a small child having run away from whatever dark hovel she had been kept in. The memories aren't quite clear to her, though the agony of the beatings and sharp hunger were feelings she could never forget. Begging for gil on the streets, the little cat did whatever she could to scrounge up food to stave off hunger. Occasionally she would get so desperate that she would try to steal coin or food from the market stalls though she was often caught and brutalized for her troubles. Still, despite the odds she managed to survive into young adulthood and learned how to get by unseen and unheard.
Adolescence
The girl would grow up into a grungy street waif and for the first time in her life, she found herself with an asset she could peddle for the night's meal: her own body. Using her bodily charms to her advantage, Mynne began learning the subtle art of manipulation and socialization that would become the backbone of her adult skillset. She learned how to control those that she slept with, fleecing them with honeyed words and touches in all the right places. With the information garnered from those she found herself coupling with, she would go on to find relatively easy scores that would offer her a somewhat comfortable state of living for the first time in her life.
Still, even with the newfound source of income life was not easy. Mynne found herself growing more and more disillusioned with the world, finally beginning to understand the colossal disparity in wealth between Ul'dah's poorest and wealthiest citizens. Growing increasingly bitter, Mynne found herself taking on more and more dangerous heists. She saw each mark as an opportunity to "stick one" to the nobles and merchants who would sooner let the poor starve than mildly inconvenience themselves. Incredibly, she kept succeeding. Always seemingly one step ahead of certain disaster, Mynne had quite the knack for staying beyond the reach of authorities.
Adulthood
Mynne's adulthood life has not differed much from the way she has lived the rest of her life. She still seeks out heists and marks, looking for information on potential sources of income. Had she known any other way, Mynne might have found a more honest way of living at this point, her unique skillset likely being of use to those who needed a scout or a spy. Instead, the woman continued as she always had: looking to dupe and steal from those she found lacking in wits.
Early into her adult life, Mynne chanced upon a group of young street urchins in a back alley one night, their sunken eyes and hungry faces leering out at the catte. To her utter astonishment, Mynne found herself giving the group of children her own coin, not able to bring herself to abandon them. Perhaps she saw herself in those sad little desperate eyes, or perhaps it was simply on a whim. Whatever the case may be, Mynne pseudo-adopted the septet of children, doing her best to at least make sure they had some food in their bellies and a safe place to stay. She continues to watch over these children as any devoted guardian would, the kids being the lone exception to the otherwise wholly self-serving machinations of the Miqo'te.
Another significant milestone in Mynne's life was meeting the conjurer Lily Nibelung. Lily had travelled to Ul'dah on her way to meet friends, and had happened to stop in the markets for some shopping. Figuring the tourist was an easy mark that wouldn't miss her coin purse, Mynne was preparing to liberate the pouch from the naive woman when a pair of hungry children approached the woman. To Mynne's astonishment and confusion, Lily gave the children enough gil for more than a few meals. Intrigued, she approached the woman looking to find out who she was and perhaps see if she could get her hands on some of that gil for herself. The two spoke for some time, and Mynne found herself respecting the serene woman's heart. (Even if she thought it foolish.) Perhaps sensing some of the pain and desperation of Mynne's past life, Lily offered to take Mynne under her wing on the side and teach her some of the art of conjury. Seeing nothing to lose and figuring she could at least rob the woman if it was all a trick, Mynne agreed. What followed were several weeks of Mynne learning to control and commune with the elementals - she even had a knack for it. Still, Mynne had mouths to feed back in Ul'dah and took her leave from Lily. Mynne had seen enough from the woman to be confident of the type of woman she was and did something she had never done in her short lifespan: she allowed herself to become friends with Lily. Nowadays, the two women are more companions rather than mentor and pupil though Lily still does what she can to help support Mynne.
Recent Times
Mynne recently became affiliated with Lily's network of contacts. Primarily, she was responsible for helping to track down and narrow down the search for a woman named Zozola Zola who would later become Lily's lover. She also was instrumental in finding the voidsent Lydaea who had usurped control of Lily's corporeal body from her. In tandem with a coalition of Zozola's friends, Mynne was able to both locate and help free Lily from Lydaea's clutches. Begrudgingly grateful to Mynne for keeping her beloved alive, Zozola tolerates Mynne's presence in her newest venture: The Purple Orchid.
Looking for a more permanant home for herself and her charges when one of her adopted gutterchildren died after getting mixed up with some bad business, Mynne has found herself a potential lead in the Blackbriar Company led by a man named 'Zed'. Though she resisted joining up with a band up to this point, she sees it now becoming a necessary evil. She cannot continue to protect both herself and her charges without support. Unfortunately for Mynne, her poor attitude has already strained her relationship with her potential partner and the first few days have not gone well. Desperate for a sense of security for her charges, she swallowed her pride and humbled herself somewhat to appeal to both Zed and Zozola with offerings of peace and information of import for both. Only time will tell if either of her two desperate contacts pan out.

RP Hooks
-
Street Urchin
A survivor of the streets of Ul'dah, Mynne grew up in squalor on the streets. If you have any time living on the streets in the desert city, you might have glimpsed her at one point.
-
Acquirer of Items
Need something lifted? Something burgled? Something broken into? Mynne is willing to do it all... for a price.
-
Lowbrow Entertainment
Mynne enjoys carousing during her offtimes, drinking and partying. She frequents brothels and other venues where she can blow off steam as well as gather knowledge on her next mark. If you frequent these locations, you might run into her... just make sure you don't become her next mark!
-
Student of Conjury
She had a brief stint as a conjurer, visiting Gridania once or twice at Lily Nibelung's behest. Perhaps you met her there briefly? It's hard to forget the saucy catte, after all.
-
Bear-poker
Odds are, even if you don't know her and don't feel any need to approach her... Mynne will approach you. Fond of causing mischief and mayhem, she delights in bothering those who don't want to be bothered.
-
Enemy of the Elite
She despises nobility and folks with extravagent displays of wealth. If you have a plan to cut them down to size and perhaps relieve them of some wealth in the process, she is all ears.
Preferences
RP Preferences:
I'm open to roleplaying with just about everyone - Veteran or novice RPer alike! Walkups are welcome and encouraged. My only three real requests are:
First - That you try to keep OOC and IC interactions separate when possible. I really prefer trying to keep character interactions in-character, and trying to differentiate when I'm talking to your character and *you* is difficult when someone constantly switches between the two without a warning. So trying to use "(( ))" tags when possible is greatly appreciated! :)
Second - I welcome almost all backstories and roleplays. If you'd like to do some sort of life-changing collaboration storyline involving Mynne, please clear it with me first so I can think about the story a bit ahead of time and make it an awesome experience for both of us! That being said, I almost never turn down playing a role in your character's development.
Third - Regarding character relationships, while I am okay with Mynne becoming - slowly - involved with somebody romantically, It would need to be something that would be built up upon many roleplaying sessions. I also want to stress that it would be strictly IC and would have it not bleed into the real world. Please respect that I prefer to keep the boundary in-game and will respond negatively if you try to make it go beyond that. Thank you! :)
