Character
General
Appearance
Diminuitive even by Miqo'te standards, Nhia is often mistaken for a child much to her irritation. Her black hair is thick and lustrous in texture with deep vermillion highlights, worn long and with a tendency to curl. Her ears are tufty at the ends, her tail also sporting a distinctly leonine tip. It is highly reflective of her moods; if the girl is nervous or insecure tending to curl around one of her legs whilst if her mood is more confident swaying in a disturbingly hypnotic manner. Her face retains a certain softness which again suggests she is younger than her years, heartshaped and pale complexioned. She is a terrible liar; her expressive face and eyes giving away her emotions at every turn. Her eyes are large and silvery, framed by thick lashes and bestowing upon her an air of almost constant curiosity. Nhia possesses a rather curvaceous figure. Her frankly prodigious bust is countered by a waspish waist only enhanced by her penchant for corsetry which then flares out into a set of generous hips. Luckily, given her notoriously sweet tooth the girls boundless energy has thus far prevented her figure from crossing the line from voluptuous to corpulent. Her dress sense can best be described as eclectic; she has a magpie like fascination with bright colours and shiny things and an unhealthy attachment to the colour pink although of late she tries to keep the latter hidden from public view. Outside of the Shroud, her light-sensitive Keeper eyes are usually shaded by one of her growing collection of hats. This also has the added benefit of keeping her somewhat wayward hair in check.
Personality
Sheltered by life in the Shroud for most of her twenty-two years, Nhia is curious about most subjects and lacks both decorum and a sense of preservation at times. She is extremely sociable and dislikes being alone with her thoughts. Under the misapprehension that any attention is good attention, she will insinuate herself into conversations and situations regardless of whether or not she is welcome and has a tendency to seem at least a little attention seeking. She is hot-tempered and prone to get into heated debates on subjects she barely understands although she is never deliberately rude or combative. Despite this she can also be extremely shy and embarrassed by certain subjects, most notably sexual references and anything that draws attention to her relative lack of life-experience. She is tactile with friends and strangers alike though far more so with females than males, often enveloping near strangers in hugs or playing with their hair. She has little concept of personal space and will react with confusion if this is brought to her attention. She can be remarkably empathic although her attempts to comfort people often end in utter failure and awkwardness.
Combat
Nhia prefers to flee at the first sign of trouble, usually after throwing an impromptu projectile at whatever or whoever was troubling her. Growing up in the Shroud she is trained in the use of a bow and has received some training in Conjury so in a pinch can resort to flinging pebbles at her persecutors. She has some limited knowledge of aetherical healing and in addition likes to create her own salves and ointments. She attributes their odd smells to traditional Shroud techniques and believes their efficacy is in direct correlation with their pungency.

Relationships
Family
Nhia is the oldest of 6 sisters from a small clan in the Shroud. Resolutely ordinary in the company of more brilliant siblings she has developed a series of masks she wears in company to make herself seem more interesting and appealing.
Friends
Raih'a Deshran: Childhood friend and one-time travelling companion. She has known him for most of her life and despite her protestations to the contrary, would probably be even more awkward in his absence.
Valirelia Ferox: She finds the woman interesting and looks up to her in more ways than one.
Kyrio Lamansque: They met when he gave her and Raih'a a tour of Ul'dah. That he appreciates her hugs makes him one of her closest friends by default.
She is always looking for new friends or people to keep her company, whether for a bell or two or more permanently.
Enemies
None, yet.

Common Rumors
- Girl hasn't got the sense given a flea. I swear, I saw her trying to eavesdrop on people by hiding under a chair. That was -occupied- : Quicksand Patron
- Worst mark in Ul'dah. All she seems to carry are feathers! : Well known and pretty inept Ul'dahn pickpocket
Moderate Rumors
Rare Rumors
- She dropped one of those books she always has her nose in. I'll tell you what, the cover might have looked all fancy but the contents? Pure filth! And badly written filth at that! : Another random Quicksand Patron. Who was probably drunk. And thus mistaken.
PC Rumors
History/Timeline
Nhia lived an isolated existence in the Shroud for the first eighteen years of her life. Even the Calamity passing her by but for rumours carried by the few merchants who encountered her reclusive clan. With each successive child born to her mother soon eclipsing Nhia in both talent and personality, the girl to an extent was left to raise herself which probably explains her limited social skills. She made a friend of a distant clan-relative not too much older than herself, Raih'a Deshran, more by his near narcolepsy preventing him from fleeing her incessant chatter than any true feelings of friendship on his part. A lifetime of loneliness will after all make talking to a sleeping Miqo'te preferable to talking to a tree. She developed a love/hate relationship with the Shroud and was overjoyed to learn that she and Raih'a would be sent to explore the world outside the Shroud in an attempt to help her hone her social skills. Since travelling first to Limsa Lominsa and now Ul'dah she is seeking to acclimatize herself to a very different culture and is trying to immerse herself into all facets of her new life. Currently on the lookout for further travelling and/or adventuring opportunities.
