This wiki is adapted & remixed. Check out Veil Iriq & Maia Kasmut for reference! About the Player ■ I aspire to follow the way of Heavy RP. ■ I prefer to keep things as canon as possible. If your character has non-canon elements, please try not to tell any of my characters without asking if it's alright oocly first. ■ I maintain a strict border between IC and OOC. ■ I strive to avoid drama. Good communication is key. ■ I have very few limits when it comes to themes in RP ■ ERP has to be a natural part of any of my character's lives, not for the sake of OOC. ■ I try to help where I can. If you are new around Balmung feel free to ask me questions. Hooks ■ Nailah is frequently spotted around Thanalan, in both Ul'dah and smaller settlements. ■ Feel free to use trading of any kind as a hook. ■ Nailah is sometimes seen around the Thraumaturges Guild. ■ Nailah is otherwise a very movable character. If you'd like to stumble into her at a specific location, toss me a /tell. Looks Nailah is a rather short highlander, owed her heritage consisting of a highlander and a midlander. What she lacks for in height she seems to make up for with a very solid and well maintained build, with her muscles defined just enough to erase any doubts of lack of strength. She has a fairly pale skintone, though years of spending large amounts of time under the Thanalan sun has given her a tan that never quite seems to fade. Her hands would bare the signs of someone who is used to hard work. Her hair is in a deep red color which appears to be natural, and it reaches to just past her shoulders - though, most of the time it'll be braided and put in various up-do's for the sake of convenience. She looks onto the world with a set of dark-grey eyes, which despite the not so common coloration does not impair her sight in any way. On her left cheek she has the skeleton of a symbolic tattoo, which she highlights with a monthly application of facepaint, as a part of a personal ritual. Of scars, Nailah has what sometimes seems like an ever growing collection. A hard life often leaves evidence, and on top of that she has not been spared from near-death encounters spurred by conflicts with other people. Most strikingly is the burn scar over her left shoulder, which stretches onto her back in a marred pattern. Along the top of her left shoulder is an additional surgical scar, which seems to have been from a surgery to recover the movablity of the arm. Her left shoulder is more-or-less entirely numb, as the damages of the burn reached all the way to her nerves. She has additional scars from stabs and cuts in various places, including a memento from that one time she got too close to a coeurl. Gear Nailah is always sighted with either a sizeable traveller's backpack, or a smaller shoulder bag. She prefers to wear clothes made of cloth and leather, and does not own any heavy armors. She always carries a minimum of survival gear with her in her smaller bag, where as her larger backpack holds as many tools as one could need to survive for lengthy amounts of time outdoors. She often appears unarmed, however she always has a focus on her which was gifted to her by a dear friend at the beginning of her lessons in thraumaturgy. She has opted not to have the focus affixed to a staff, wand or similar and will instead hold it in her palm when she needs to use it. Art Artist: Ni By Y'ahna Tia (Balmung) By By Shadottie By By Y'uraq Tia By Noctuaalba Items for sale As a wandering trader, Nailah has an often times rather curious collection of items and goods for sale. She also has a good repertoire of connections, which makes her able to get certain things upon request. Feel free to approach her and ask what she might be selling, or request specific things! For inspiration I've made a list of things she regularly has on hand. It may be updated to reflect on special items as well. ■ Various hides from smaller and occasionally larger beasts ■ Samples for wines stored elsewhere ■ Herbs, reagents from various regions ■ Rarities, such as trinkets, jewellery and gems. ■ Potions & Poisons ■ Region-specific foods and snacks, especially if they perish very slowly. Relations I use relations to help myself remember who people are in the long run. As such, there may be people here who I have only interacted with once. ♥  Romantic Interest  ♥ Platonic Love ♦ Flirt ★ Highly Respected ☍ Confidant ➘ Lost/Minimal Contact ☘ Positive Relation ● Negative Relation 💗 Sexual Attraction ♥ Ophelia Gale "The Sister" After having grown up and become adults without knowing of each-others existence, they seem to have picked up where they left off. Nailah's relationship with Ophelia is very close, and she is rather protective of her sibling. ♥ Arnvidar Swiftheart "The Protective Brother" She truly adores her older brother. He's been there for her in many situations where she would not have tolerated the presence of others, but also desperately needed help. ☍ N'khai Nunh "Trusted Friend" She has trusted him with her life, and she would not hesitate to go to the same lengths for him. ☘ Mauh'a Relehna "Good Friend" Nailah considers Mauh'a to be a very unfortunate man, with a very loyal heart.

They meet up on occasion to drink together and share stories. ☘ Syleion Pendragon "Uncertain Relation" Nailah's not sure where she has him, but things are alright for the time being. ☘ Leanna Vist "Old Friend" Sometimes less is more, and their friendship is great in just the right amounts. ☘ Reinhardt Ironhand "The Former Bodyguard" One of the very few people Nailah would entrust with her own life. ♦ 💗 Aeron Volkova "The Unlikely Friend" Aeron is by no means someone Nailah would usually get along with, but she's found him to be quite down to earth. She enjoys a very close friendship with him, and is likely one of the few she'd go to for the odd bit of help. ☘ 💗 Ronin'ra Jinehga "Through thick and thin" Despite everything they've been through, from good to bad and worse, Nailah always seems to manage to hang around Ronin on good terms. ☘ Xdoferus Nemkhei "Friend" Nailah has only met this Miqo'te recently, but she has already found herself enjoying their conversations. ☘ ♦ 💗 Rufus Wightman "Friend" Rufus and Nailah seem to get along quite well. She enjoys his company, and she cares for him in a way she sometimes finds a bit strange to think about. She'd not like any harm to come his way. ☘ Gen Quickpaw "Business Contact" .... ☘ J'inarah Marad "Business Contaact" Nailah has grown fond of J'inarah through time, and is always keen on a chatter with her about everything and nothing. ☘ J'kilid Tia "Business Contact" In recent time, Nailah has been rather thankful for Kilids outstretched hand in her time of need. ☘ Jonah Darson "Recent Aquaintance" She met this man in the quicksand, and had a great time listen to this adventurers great, great accomplishments. She's got a trade deal with him. ☘ Simeon Sibaruse "Recent Aquiantance" Nailah has sold this noble gentleman some wine, and she tends to enjoy their conversations quite a bit. ☘ Kurt Steel "Recent Aquiantance" She has traded with this man a few times. ☘ 💗 L'dhala Nunh "Friend" After joining up with the Jackals, Nailah has had the chance to spend more time with Dhala. She reckons he's one of the few in the company she really gets along with. ☘ Renaise Galwind "Recent Aquaintance" A fellow employee of the Jackals. She is keeping an ear out for him for any news regarding a certain cult's activities. ☘ John Gallaf "Recent Acquaintance " She knows him as a guy who hails from the southern isles, with a bad case of amnesia. ☘ Bert Brewforge "Aquaintance" She's always game for being on any sports team that opposes him, because she finds the friendly animosity really entertaining. ☘ Cedric Silverstar "Friend" A man she sometimes bumps into. Usually leads to a good conversation. ☘ Ciciru Ciru "Aquaintance" .... ☘ Aldous Sergrain "Acquaintance" They met in the most fantastically awkward way, but Nailah, much to her own surprise actually gets along well with him. ☘ Nathaniel Salem "Aquaintance" There's a saying that warns you from playing with fire, and yet Nailah still signed up to be tutored by this man. ☘ W'gahr Lupercal "Former Employee" Nailah still sees Luper from time to time, and she hopes all of the best for her former employee. ☘ Illyriel Otonashi "Former Employee" .... ☘ Momone Mone "Former Employee" She really adores this lalafell's cooking, and she finds herself agreeing with her quite a lot. Whether or not she'll ever admit it is a different story. ☘ Kosetsu Kensei "Former Employee" Nailah holds an appropriately positive relation to the precisely-spoken au ra. ☘ O'ray Tia "Former Employee" .... ☘ Eowale Dotharl "Former Employee" .... ☘ Alia Naveleal "Former Employee" .... ● Sashana Star "The unstable one" Nailah tries her best to keep away from Star, as she regards her as a very unstable individual that can not be trusted. ● Haydn'to Kalmar "The Thief" Breaking someones nose, chasing them down and making their life a misery for a time is probably not the best way to make friends. Good thing it wasn't what Nailah wanted out of her actions. ☘ Placeholder "Placeholder" Placeholder Player submitted rumors Feel free to add your own! Simply use the placeholder at the bottom of the page. ■ "She is best cook! Win cooking game! Very liked the food!" - Flickering Ember ■ "Oh aye, Nailah seems a nice lass. Been a pleasure workin' wiv 'er. Sure knows 'er liquors too." - J'inarah Marad ■ "Nailah, eh? Well shit, knew tha' girly back when sh'called 'erself Sastra n'shit. Been more'n a cycle now, I reckon. Respect 'er more'n I do a lo' o'folk. Stood up f'me n'can see shit m'way o'er th'res' o'the fucks tha' go' sticks up their asses. Ain't much care f'er bus'ness or nothin', bu' I'll b'round when sh'calls f'my 'elp." Ronin'ra Jinehga snickered, "N'ye see th'tits on 'er? Reckon y'ain't wanna stand near 'er when sh'starts spinnin' n'fuckin' circles." ■ "She's a highlander and a bit of a brute. Spat at my feet after I offered her the two hundred gil, right in the Quicksand. Felt bad for Momodi having to clean that up," Haydn'to Kalmar grumbled, "She throws a mean right-hook, as well. Broke my nose. Blackmail and kidnapping isn't above her, either. I wouldn't mess with her if I were you." ■ "Miss Sastra? Truly, one owes her much. Mayhaps more than she could ever know, given the turns life has taken since those first suns, so long ago. A kinder heart thou shall struggle to find 'cross all Eorzea." - W'pondahl Amih ■ "Sastra? Aye, I know her." the earthen-skinned Highlander intones in a long, slow rumble. "Goes by her real name, Nailah now. A woman at home on the open road. How she deigns to stay caged by her position is a marvel beyond my comprehension." - Dural Shieldsplitter ■ "Nailah? Says she's an 'ighlander, but honest? Ah've met Lalafell taller! Jokin' aside though, s' clear she cares fer 'er folk more'n anythin' cept f' maybe a nice glass've red, an' that says more'n words ever could as to 'er character, ah reckon." - J'kilid Tia ■ " She's a good woman who has a tendency to land herself in trouble. But hells, I feel like that's a talent her whole family's got. I would warn ya though, if ya have any intentions of askin' her out, I hear she's got an older brother who'll rough you up if you cause any problems. " - Arnvidar Swiftheart ■ "Nai... I love my little sister very, very much, but she is complex. She's a loner. But she's also really not. She's really independent and strong. And sometimes... well, sometimes she needs space where she doesn't have to be. But if she's anything, she's loyal. And warm and loving and fierce. I'm not surprised why she's taken to fire so easily, really. But please... don't give her any reasons to burn you. She's been through enough, and she has a list of allies a malm long right behind her that will see her through any hardship. That's not any sort of threat, though! It's just a fact." - Ophelia Gale ■ "Nailah. What can I say about her that hasn't already been said before? She's such an interesting person, I suppose. She can appear almost aloof on the outside, but once you get to know her, she's like this whole other person. And she's had so much weight to bear on her shoulders, it makes you want to stand with her and support her. I'm glad I met her." - Rufus Wightman
