APPEARANCE
Octavia Headshot.png

GENERAL APPEARANCE: A small woman, petite and lithe, in all sense of the words. Almost as if, were you to touch her, she would break, collapse like a house of cards, shatter like glass. Octavia's skin is fair, though a healthy hue, with faint freckles dotting it here and there, mostly her shoulders and cheeks. Her hair is a soft blonde, and once fondly compared to dawn by her late mother and then by the rest of her tribe. When she was younger, her hair would grow to such great lengths, she'd often braid it in places, also allowing her family to do the same when they requested, placing flowers atop her head for decoration and headdresses. When she'd fallen into the facade of her current self, she'd been forced to cut it, working in the hot Doma climate with such thick locks making it more of a nightmare than it already was. Presently, however, she's growing it and braiding it more often.

Octavia's eyes are golden honey, with brighter gold limbal rings. Her nails are kept long, but sensible, painted different colors when the mood presents itself. At times she wears lip gloss, but she always has soft pink eye shadow in the inner of her eyes. All in all, the Xaela gives off a pleasant and welcoming demeanor, enjoying the company of many, yet keeping herself a mystery as much as possible, especially around other Xaela, and though she can be a bit prejudicial of her own kind, Octavia attempts to give them the benefit of the doubt.


SCARS & MARKINGS: Though one could hardly tell, due to the fact that she keeps most of her skin covered at all times, especially her torso and lower half, Octavia's form is riddled with scars, some more noticeable than others. It's clear she's seen her own fair share of fights, despite being so frail looking.

ATTIRE: Never revealing, only in the company of those she trusts, which realistically is quite small. It's clear she's not exactly prude, making it hard to understand why she hides behind layers of clothing, though once removed it's understandable why. There's a sense of shame, she has if seen so exposed, one assuming embarrassment, but missing the mark entirely. More so she detests that she had lived while those she loved had died, and the scars she has are her own, only meant for her eyes, to remember the past, to remember her guilt.

Octavia enjoys fabrics of all kind, leather being a favorite to wear when she's out in the field. Her preferred colors are royal blue and millioncorn yellow. She loves patterns, especially traditional hingan. Takane once brought her back a kimono from her travels, and it quickly became her favorite to wear around the estate.

PERSONALITY
Octavia Banner.png
"Snuff it out, snuff out that girl. She was weak. She was useless."

Visibly, Octavia is a friendly and outspoken individual. The smile on her is ever present, her laughs cheerful. In a sense, she appears to be a very kind woman, and while for the most part that's true, there's more to her than just her soft, sweet eyes, mannerisms and voice.

Octavia Ethesa is a liar. Deceitful. Secretive. In fact, the person she claims to be is nothing more than a carefully crafted facade to protect herself and the her that she used to be.

Orebi Qalli was a small, albeit weak girl. She'd been hurt, been wounded, and wasn't for the world she'd been thrust in so Octavia formed. She was strong-willed, decisive and capable.

The person she is today was never who she wanted to be, a double agent, a part she plays. Almost too well.


PREFERENCES
LIKES

  • Birds - Preference for Flightless Ones.
  • Goobbues - Will actively avoid fighting them at all costs, even at the cost of her own parties progress.
  • History - Particularly the Allagan and War of the Magi.
  • Music / Singing - She's a songless bird, but that doesn't mean she no longer loves music and others singing, though...it does bring back memories.
  • Miqo'te - Their furry tails and ears are much more enjoyable than rough, patchy scales. And they come in so many different colors.
  • Steppe Tea - She doesn't have it anymore, but fondly remembers her mother's recipe. Efforts to recreate it herself have had little to no success..

DISLIKES

  • The Azim Steppe - It's too painful to return. Too many memories she'd rather forget.
  • The Jhungid Tribe - Petty, arrogant, blindly ambitious. Does winning really mean that much to you?
  • Fighting - Though quite skilled, imbued with magic words whispered to the arrows she once loosed, in her present day persona, she steers clear of confrontation leaving it to her partner to handle. Don't mistake her reluctance to fight as weakness, however. You'll regret it. If driven into a corner or challenged, she won't back down.
  • Tarts - One dessert she's never had a taste for.
  • Coffee - Too bitter.
  • Revealing Clothing - She prefers to keep her skin covered as much as possible.


DISTINCTIVE FEATURES
QUIRKS

  • Talks to Plants / Animals like they can understand her.
  • Bites / Chews Lips when she's nervous or in thought.
  • Nails always painted, color changes depending on mood or event.
  • Avid book collector ; fiction or nonfiction.
  • Food enthusiast.

TRIVIA

  • Literary Associations - ? ? ?
  • Image Associations - Headdresses, White Veils, Freckled Skin, Flowers, Crystals, Bows and Arrows/Quivers.
  • She no longer sings, but still enjoys music to a certain extent. It will always illicit an emotional response, though whether she shows it or not is up to how strong the emotion.

CADENCE
The true meaning to her title, the Ephemeral Cadence. Despite Octavia's present avoidance of physical conflict, Orebi Qalli was a force to fear, and the sole reason the Jhungid had desired for her tribes subjugation. Whispered words of power in the form of song, Orebi could manipulate her own aether to enhance the arrows she loosed from her bow. Be it fire, ice, or lightning, the Qalli's arrows, combined with her hawk-like vision and steady hands, were considered a deadly force to be up against. Where she excelled in ranged combat, however, due to her small form, melee combat was a difficult, if not impossible endeavor. Currently, her partner has attempted to train her in the blade, both dagger and katana, she still lacks the force. Despite this, Octavia's agility and high stamina from growing up in the steppes allows her to put distance between her and her opponent, and dance fairly well through attacks. Were she challenged, Octavia could still find her hands taking up her old ways, holding her title indefinitely.

Killian grew up as an orphan passed around from home to home, and only recently married into a larger Ishgardian family. Most of what he knows about his blood relatives came from piecemeal knowledge obtained growing up. For the time being, he keeps the de Bayles at arm's length, still finding the idea of having a family difficult to come to terms with.

RUMORS
Some of these rumors are untrue, speculation, or are greatly exaggerated. Please feel free to add your own rumors under the Player Character category! Any PC rumours marked red are considered rare, and will need permission from the gossiper or player before usage.
COMMON RUMORS - Easily overheard. Use these freely!

    “How many of them damn Bayle's are there?! The girl's a new one but at least she's approachable. Well, as approachable as them Elezen folk can be, 'suppose.” - Ul'Dahn Traveler
    “That Adelise woman has a stare that could pierce your heart. And not in a good way either. One that sends a death rattle through your bones. She comes here often; while she may be a looker, I would not stare too long.” - Isghardian Scholasticate Student
    “Somewhat lanky girl? The one with the marking on her forehead, yeah? Those Bayle's seem to make face here quite a bit as of late. I see her around, typically escorting that one blind lad who is constantly coming in here. Poor lass, getting herself involved with a sorry sod like that.” - Carline Canopy Regular

UNCOMMON RUMORS - A little more difficult to hear. Use sparingly or ask first!

    “Lady Adelise is extremely well mannered, despite her often times apparent rebellious behaviour, it is often surprising how much she differs from her cousins.” - Madame Celeste, Estate Employee
    “I sometimes see her about with a little blue lizard, or Wyvern or something. Aren't those things heretical in the Holy See?”- Gridanian Citizen
    “I hear she goes by 'Hestia' now. Not quite sure why, but she claims it is her real name. If it was here real name, why tell everyone she was Adelise?”- Ishgardian Citizen

RARE RUMORS - Very rarely overheard. Please ask before using!

    “Lady Adelise's arrival is a curious one indeed. I find it particularly peculiar that after the disappearance of our smallest lady, this distant cousin would make surface. Do I think Lady Adelise know's of the youngest daughters disappearance? Well, even with her polite persona, I cannot say I am not suspicious of her intent. I believe her presence is to take her cousins title of Viscount, starting with his lineage. When considering Lord Ceonix's behaviour toward Viscount de Bayle, I can hardly be surprised. However, you did not hear that from me.” - Anonymous Manservant
    “A woman with a brand on her forehead? Ah yes, the half-breed. She came here some moons ago. Offering me the fingers of a Duskwight to bless. She seemed rather devoted to doing the Twelves work. I can hardly say I was displeased by such, but one cannot help but fear such strong zealotry. If even to a minor degree.”- Oschon Priest

PLAYER CHARACTER RUMORS - Feel free to add rumors of your own!

PLAYER INFORMATION
Player user name is Nikki. Medium-Casual Roleplayer from the Eastern Timezone (EST) on Balmung. I am really new to the in-game RP scene, but I'm willing to learn! If not in-game, I rp in Discord or alternatively for longer lit Google Docs. There must be a clear separation of IC and OOC at all times. This is really important to me. My characters opinion, actions, ect, does not translate to my feelings. I’m open to most rp, however, if you’re underage I will not engage in anything that could put either of us in a bad situation. That being said if you are uncomfortable with something please tell me, I don’t want to cause anyone stress, it’s all about having fun. Communication is important to me, so please talk to me if you have any worries!
