Character
General
Nevivi Nevi is a Lalafellin conjurer and member of the Anemos Circle. She runs a medical clinic and café (which she lovingly calls the "clinicafé") in the Lavender Beds. While she is a healer of fair magical skill, she is also an herbalist and chiurgeon; the elementals might withdraw their favor at any moment, but a steady hand, a clean suture, and a proper dressing never go out of style.
Appearance
Nevivi is short even for a Lalafell, with dark skin, green hair, and violet eyes. While she's a font of energy and motion she is also quite chubby. She usually dresses in purple robes for work. Pouches on her belt hold medicines and bandages in case of emergency. She keeps her hair short for utility's sake. Partly due to her medical training and partly due to preference, Nevi keeps her clothing clean and mended at all times, though she does get quite muddy and covered in burrs when she's gathering herbs in the Black Shroud.
She rarely wears fancy adornments because she doesn't have much money, but Nevivi quite likes jewelry and nice clothing.
Personality
The oldest of four siblings, Nevivi is readily assertive, emphatic, and given to large gestures and a voice that carries farther than she thinks it does. She also tends to try to caretake everybody around her whether they need it (or indeed, want it) or not. Keeping her mouth shut is not one of her strongest suits, and her internal monologues escape at the drop of a hat, much to her chagrin. She trusts easily and means well, though. Her outlook is usually upbeat and positive. When she's in doctor mode, Nevivi Nevi is all business and calm, but any other time she's easily flustered and excitable, which just makes her louder and more handflappy.
Combat
Growing up in Gridania, Nevivi Nevi learned her way around a bow; she learned how to carry a knife or two in Ul'dah out of necessity during the post-Calamity chaos of the refugee camps. She avoids combat if she can but if pressed she's got a blade hidden in each boot and a strong grasp of the powers of earth and air.
Tendencies
Likes
- Food. Any food, honestly. Nevivi wouldn't be caught dead without something edible.

- Music. Although she herself doesn't have any particular musical talent, she loves to listen to others perform.

Friends
- Atherton Namir, a Duskwight Garlean scout she nursed back to health after finding him near death in the Shroud.

Rumors
Common Rumors
- She adopts people whether they like it or not.
- Her family's still in Ul'dah, and they really wish she'd come back with them.
- If her head weren't attached, she'd probably lose it.
- Or sell it.
Moderate Rumors
- You know what they say about Lalafells...Nevivi's not choosy about bed partners, by gender, race, or relative size.
- Previously to joining the Anemos Circle, Nevivi Nevi may or may not have been homeless and slept behind the Gridanian market boards when times were tough.
- Part of why she's always seemingly broke is because she sends money to her parents to help take care of her epileptic youngest sister. (The other part is because she can't budget worth a damn.)
Rare Rumors
- (Nothing yet)
PC Rumors
- (Ehh)
History
Nevivi Nevi was born 34 years ago in the South Shroud, the first of four siblings born to Nemama Nema and Vilako Polako. Her mother is a leatherworker and her father a merchant, and they had a comfortable life until the Calamity struck. She was learning her mother's trade when their home was utterly destroyed; all of them survived, but Vilako Polako and her sister Nakoko Nako were grievously injured. Like so many at the time, they fled to Ul'dah and sheltered in a squalid refugee camp at the gates. A conjurer of Stillglade Fane working among the tents and shanties saved Nakoko from the brink of death and deeply impressed Nevivi Nevi. Vilako Polako lost the use of one leg, and Nakoko still has occasional fits from the almost-deadly fever and infection she had, but the family survived more or less intact and began to make their way back from poverty.
Nevivi returned to Gridania in order to study conjury, a move which her parents didn't truly approve of. With her father's health less than it was and her being the eldest, they wanted her to take over the mercantile side of the family trade; she wanted to heal others as the wandering conjurer had done for her loved ones. She joined the Conjurers' Guild of Stillglade Fane and learned their art; after completing training, her friends Leii Lei and Anneliese Casmir encouraged her to join them in the Anemos Circle, which she did.
She regrets not being able to provide for the rest of her family as she feels she should, which is what drove her to attach a café to her clinic. She dreams of having the finer things in life, but also dreams of supporting her family, but also also dreams of healing the sick and injured no matter how penniless they are, and this odd, conflicting combination of avarice and generosity causes her to earn respectable sums of gil only to give it away and then kick herself for having done so.
