Background

Born to Qarasarnai Orben and Urgamal Mierqid, Qajira has been a child of the seas for as long as she can remember. The majority of her life was spent sailing from port to port aboard her mother's ship, The Alvachir (Crimson Thunderbolt). Due to this, she has already met all sorts of people from all walks of life, despite being so young. Qajira's father died when she was about three or four, but Qarasarnai's lover eventually became a welcome addition to their family in his stead, becoming Qajira's second mother.

As she grew and continued to learn and explore, Qajira would find that she had an affinity for her tribe's talent of using their own scales in their crafting. She found a very simple joy in studying the infrastructure of her mother's ship and aiding the engineers with their various repairs. Qajira's also something of a self-taught cooking aficionado... a mantle she took on to supplement her mother's lack of skill in that department.

Present

Qajira surfaced in Eorzea about a year ago under circumstances she keeps vague to strangers. She has been hopping from job to job, struggling to keep herself afloat on her own. However, if there's anything she inherited from both of her mothers in terms of character... it was their sheer tenacity.

Lately, the girl has developed an interest in corrupted aether. She seems to have dedicated herself to studying the hazardous material for the time being. The reasons for this are currently unknown.

Appearance

Qajira sports light blue skin that is peppered with gray freckles. Short, bobbed black hair with barely visible gray tips frames her rounded face. In addition to the large, winding horns on either side of her face, there are two smaller horns located closer to the top of her head. Her eyes also bare no limbral rings.

Clothing:

Qajira prefers her wardrobe to be loose fitting, comfy, and easy to maneuver and/or swim in. Clothing with intricate details like excessive ribbons and belts can get caught on plantlife or in monsters' jaws, so she tries to avoid them whilst exploring or hunting.

Scars/Markings/Tattoos:

N/A

Personality

Qajira's pure curiosity drives many of the decisions she makes. Her imagination is vivid, her questions about the world are infinite, and she occasionally bites off more than she can chew -- literally and figuratively. If she can wonder about something, she will want to see it done. If that's not possible, she will attempt it herself. She is also terribly absentminded when it comes to small details, often being unable to remember information she just learned. Be patient with her and she'll eventually get it all down.

In terms of disposition, Qajira often seems to give off an air of nonchalance. She speaks in a dreamy, thoughtful tone and may occasionally doze off or become distracted when others are speaking at length. Qajira also seems to struggle with drawing conclusions and/or stating facts that one might deem rude. (That is to say, her grasp of 'subtlety' is weak.) Once you get to know her, however, one will find that she's actually pretty friendly... if perhaps a little presumptuous at times.

OOC Information

RP Limits:

I enjoy RP that focuses on character development and meaningful, creative plots. I am a HEAVY lore stickler, but I am okay with some headcanon that is within reason and/or not too far of a stretch.

Relationships & Family:

I am open to family/tribal ties, as well as friendships. Just speak with me about it!

Combat & Injuries:

Light injury and temporary captivity are completely fine.

Anything that involves disfigurement, extreme injury, intense illness, or long-term captivity must be discussed with me in advance.
