Appearance & Personality

Appearance:

Nai would be considered a runt amongst her tribe at only 56 ilms (4'8"). While tiny at first glance, however, the little kitten has gone to great lengths to make up for what she lacks in height with strength. Most easily noted in her arms and chest, she sports lithe, packed muscle under a layer of feminine softness (strong, but not without some body fat), built to either deliver a powerful blow or brace to absorb one.

Her face is soft, a pleasant heart shape with delicate-looking features, her lips often lightly glossed in a soft lilac. Vibrantly blue eyes are slanted in a manner reminiscent of her more feline traits, lined with dark lashes and sporting the tell-tale slit pupil of the Seeker breed of Miqo'te, lined with a dusting of blue-purple eyeshadow. Her hair is kept long and held up in a high ponytail, sleek and bone-straight, a soft lavender color to match the fur of her ears and tail. Hidden by her bangs, a pair of tan stripes reach from the arch of her brows to her hairline, though the two pair that cross her cheeks, just below her eyes, remain perfectly visible.

Personality:

Flirty, competitive, and utterly, completely shameless are a few good words to sum her up. In general, Nai is a very outgoing, affectionate person with little awareness in the area of personal space. She's just as likely to touch, or even hug, a stranger as she is a friend (though friends are far more likely to have a Naibarnacle at some point during any given encounter). She's quick to tease, though she tempers the worst of her barbs with a warm tone and amused eyes. That's just her way of showing affection: The more she banters with someone, it generally means she's quite fond of them. It's the silence that generally tells of her wrath.

The only public deviation of this generally upbeat, sociable attitude is when there's a male Seeker about. If she's noticed him, she will generally go quiet and try not to draw attention to herself, even to the point of taking her leave of current company. If approached by one, she seldom makes eye-contact and becomes very withdrawn and shy, but will not disengage unless dismissed or left alone.

Rumors Rumors may be greatly exaggerated or flat out untrue. Please feel free to add your own rumors under the PC section! ◢ Common Rumors (Easily overheard) ■ "Isn't that the dancer girl from Ul'dah? She's put on a lot of muscle these last few years. Bet she'd be a real ride now, heh heh." ■ "Seen 'er hangin' off the arm of our very own Corbeaux Baptiste, aye. Girl sure knows who t' bat 'er eyes at..." ◢ Moderate Rumors (Moderately difficult to overhear) ■ "Pfeh. Don't bother unless you're some long-eared fop. Why a Miqo'te's so fixated on Elezen is beyond me." ■ "Word has it, she moved in like she owned the place not long after the Gentleman Bastards were reformed. You didn't hear it from me, but you want a word in with them, you drop a line in that miqo'te's ear." ◢ Rare Rumors (Very difficult or rarely overheard) ■ "She's got family local-like, but she won't breathe a word who it is. Apparently, their whole tribe was near wiped out in the Calamity." ■ "Th' way she tells it, y'd think she's some r'fined lady. Didn' hear it from me, bu' I seen men follow tha' one an' ne'er be 'eard from 'gain. Bloody siren, she is." ◢ PC Rumors (Add some and sign your character's name!) ■ Erimmont Chevalier: There was once a time we were closer than anything. Yet as of late, she's fallen into a spider's web and foolishly thrown herself further into it, deaf to the words of reason. I adore her, that much is true. However, it won't surprise me if she should end up dead if the pattern continues. ■ Corbeaux Baptiste: Loyalty is a rare thing in my world, and I treasure it and reward it more than any other trait. Give the girl a reason and she'll walk through starfire for you. Even if the reason is simply that you will it of her. ■ Lyngbakr Lyngwintsyn: I've done alot o' stupid shite in me life, an' callin' 'er 'aircolour 'pink' was one o' 'em! Never talk 'bout 'er 'aircolour, If looks could kill, I'd be dead already! ■ (Feel free to add your own!) RP Hooks You might know Nai if... You belong to the off-shoot A-tribe she came from. (Please message me in-game for more information concerning this.) You lived/worked in Ul'dah within the last eight years: She delivered gathered goods and fish before the Calamity. (Age 14-15) A year after the calamity, she turned to whoring to survive. (Age 15-17) Once she developed physically, she worked herself into being an upper-class Courtesan. (17-20) She eventually began participating in the Bloodsands as a sort of novelty. (20-21) You attended or associated with the Vylbrand Academy: Nai was head of security for most of her time there. She also tended the bar for a few moons during open Tavern Nights and events. You are active currently within Limsa Lominsa: She's often seen within or around the Drowning Wench. Word has it she's working for Corbeaux Baptiste.

Relationships ♥ Romantic Attraction    ♥ Family     ● Friends ● Neutral    ● Not Trusted    ! Enemies ♥ A'khebica Ginwa - Nai's baby cousin, though she's not seen her in almost a year. She hopes Khebi is still alive and found a safe place to settle. ♥ A'kiina Saazhu - Her niece, a few years younger than herself. Nai loves Kiina to bits and is fiercely protective of her. Family is few and far between, she'll do anything to keep her safe and happy. While she was a little worried for her well-being outside the Tribal lifestyle, knowing Kiina now stays with a man who better knows the way of the civilized world settles some of her fears. ● Aerisette 'Mouse' Dellamorte - Mouse, as she goes by on the docks, is just a young thing, still learning the ways of life beyond the confines of Limsa's docks. Nai is protective of her, but will not go out of her way to intervene, or expend too much energy actively shielding her from reality. Instead, she offers the young hyur advice and insight and hopes for the best. Sometimes the only way to learn is to make mistakes. ● Abrenard Rondelet - A displaced Ishgardian knight, she isn't quite sure what to make of him, but judges him friendly enough despite his habit of hiding his face. She finds his snake-themed armor to be rather amusing, but only met him a handful of times before he made off for parts unknown, presumably chasing this phantom urge he mentioned in passing. ● Ciel Grayve - While she knows Ciel, interaction has been minimal over the years. She still enjoys the memory of her music, but has next to no connection with the Lady Bard these days. ♥ Corbeaux Baptiste - Her employer and lover, it's very plainly clear to anyone who observes the pair interacting that he is her world, all else comes second to him. She's very openly affectionate with him and can often be seen lingering at his side with a hand on him in some shape or form, be it a fond embrace or simple hanging onto the fabric of his skirt/robe. 💔 Desant Valeroyant - Her former lover, though she still loves him dearly. She currently has no clue as to his whereabouts or if he even still lives. ● Erimmont Chevalier - Once the best of friends, she no longer views this man as the one she befriended so long ago in Vylbrand Academy. Still, upon receiving word of his death, she mourned for the loss of what was and could never be again. While she forgave him his choices, as he forgave hers, there's a lingering ache associated with his memory. ● Jordain Allard - It seems a love of Duskwights runs in her family's blood, as A'kiina has ended up with a man who isn't quite what he seems. Nai is still figuring him out, but he seems to sincerely care for Kiina, so she's mostly been keeping her nose out of their blooming relationship. Still, she will be right there if he ever does anything to harm her. ● Lhei'to Tayuun - The Keeper she ended up 'living' with over part of her 22nd summer. She hasn't seen him since, nor does she know if he still lives. ● Lyngbakr Lyngwintsyn - One of the few roegadyn friends she's made, Nai is quite fond of the Captain. She hasn't seen him much in recent moons, beyond his Bonding ceremony, but she hopes he's doing well. Once upon a time, he would watch out for her in the Drowning Wench and in turn she did what she could to aid him when he needed it, be it with a bow, a shield, or just a hug. With any luck, his new bride now fills that role. ● Minox Moks‎ - She's not seen Moxie in several moons, spare a brief appearance with no actual interaction at the reception of Captain Lyng's Bonding. She wonders if warning her against Oliver's antics severed the trust they'd built, because she said things Minox didn't want to hear. ● Rivienne Marcellus - Nai isn't quite sure what to make of this one. She acts of nobility, but moves like a predator. Still, Nai has made it her mission to be friends with the sun-kissed elezen, particularly after learning of the loss of her husband. Sadly, she hasn't seen her since their brief, interrupted talk in Wineport some moons ago. ● Staelufre Lysmerl - An odd kitten, to be sure, but Nai is very fond of her and her quirky ways. She tries (and mostly fails) to understand the way she tends to speak in metaphors, though has resigned herself to mostly looking to Corbeaux for translations. Upon learning of her pregnancy, Nai has taken up sending daily meals via personal courier to ensure the other pastel kitten was eating well enough for two.
