General

Roen is a young woman in her early 20's. She is often seen wearing armor, heavy or medium depending on the environment, and a sword and shield are never far from her side. Her auburn hair is usually tucked under her helm in battle and when she is on active duty, and her lean but toned frame shows evidence of training; she is clearly accustomed to wearing armor most of her days. One prized possession is her armor, gifted to her by a grateful client from her previous employment. She keeps it well oiled and in excellent repair, for she does not own anything else of real worth. She also carries finely forged sword crafted by her brother, and these possessions may disguise the fact that she is not a person of great wealth. But despite her humble disposition, Roen's carriage tends to indicate that she's had a wellborn upbringing.

Behavior

RoenHelm.jpg

She's mostly quiet. Roen often holds her tongue on matters she considers not important. But she is quick to come to the defense of the weak and does not hesitate to stand up to bullies, even when she is sorely outmatched or outnumbered. She is not quick to anger, but sometimes eager to commit herself to causes she believes are right. Emotions show easily upon her face, and she is a horrible liar. She tries her best not to do it often, if at all.


Roen does not speak of herself too often, and is quick to grow wary when the conversation turns to details of her past. She also does not make small talk well; she is seen as quite serious by most, and some might even accuse her of lacking any sense of humor whatsoever. The truth of her guarded demeanor is more complex, of course, but few understand that. She smiles rarely... but when she does it is always genuine. She offers her aid easily, and takes people at their word. Some may consider her polite to a fault especially when they have only recently met. Often her speech can be considered to be formal, although with a hint of a dialect that is not native to Eorzea.


Roen has an inquisitive mind and is quick to learn, and any teaching of craft, skills, or lore offered to her will rarely be refused. Despite her competence with sword and shield, she is still very green when it comes to the general knowledge of the Eorzea overall. It seems what she knows of Eorzea was learned in the last few years.


Combat

Roen prefers sword and shield above all else. Trained as a gladiator, and then as a paladin, she excels in defensive fighting, always preferring to protect others before going on the offensive. While she takes to training with fervor and her technical skills leave very little to be desired, she still lacks in experience to put them to use with full effect. She often hesitates in striking down a weaker foe, especially if they show fear or remorse. If they ask for mercy, she will often grant it, even if it may be just a ploy.


While undergoing her training with the conjurer's guild, it was noted she has great aptitude as a healer as well as a strong connection with the aether, both within and without. But Roen left their guidance after learning the rudimentary skills needed to continue her paladin training. Only recently has she returned to Steelglen Fane to revisit her training as a healer, at the urging of her former teachers.

RUMORS

Some of these rumors are untrue or are greatly exaggerated. Please feel free to add your own rumors under PC!

◢ Common Rumors (Easily overheard)
"She was hired to protect my caravan a couple o' times. Don' recall her sayin' much, but when the job was done everythin' was all polite and proper. Mos' polite mercenary I've ever come across!"
"She was hired as protection duty for some fancy ball. I tried to buy her a drink, but she wouldn't have it. A little miss uptight if you ask me."
"I heard that she was fired from her mercenary company 'cause a Sultansworn's suspectin' her of being involved with the Syndicate or somethin'. I saw her being questioned in the streets even!"
"Oh yeah! She was chosen by the Immortal Flames for that Little Ladies contest! I don't know what the big fuss was all about, but she sure looked uncomfortable being escorted everywhere by the Yataghans."
◢ Moderate Rumors (Moderately difficult to overhear)
"She healed me once, after I was attacked by some antelope. I assumed she was one of them free paladins, what with all her armor and all. But she said she wasn't, just hoping to be one someday. She seemed nice enough."
"I was there when some beggar came up to her and stabbed her multiple times, in broad daylight in the streets of Ul'dah! Looked like he was going for her jugular and missed. She's lucky she lived. Sounds like she's got some enemies."
"She has great potential for conjury. If she would only commit more time to it here in Gridania, I believe she can become quite a powerful conjurer."
"First Sultansworn, now Brass Blade. Maybe she's found her true callin' this time."
◢ Rare Rumors (Very difficult or rarely overheard)
"I remember her first day in the Steelglen Fane. She seemed awful nervous, despite being sent there by her Guildmaster. And then her first spell learned, she looked like she wasn't expecting that at all. Odd, don't you think?"
"Did you hear? The man who stabbed that girl in the street, he hung himself while still under arrest. Then she arranged for his body to be sent home, and I hear she even accompanied it herself. You'd think she'd see it tossed over some cliff."
"I heard she was dismissed, then reinstated, then dismissed, then reinstated again as Sultansworn. Ya think if she was a bad apple, they'd have the good sense not to take her back after the first time."
"I heard she is connected to the Ala Mhigan Resistance. Why is a Sultansworn associating herself with terrorists?"
"Have you seen her head under the turban she wears? Shaved clean! Work of a Brass Blade from what I hear. Treatin' their own like that... she must not get along with 'em. I've seen the a Blade walking around with a ridiculous wig though. I'd say he's proud of his work."


◢ PC Rumors (Rumors from the character's of other players)
"I heard she likes to be tickled by surprise, you should completely walk up and do that to her, she'll love it" -Natalie Mcbeef
"I've lost a sister. Ul'dah never deserved one like Roen. She's free from it all now. Ul'dah can not taint or crush her again. I only wish it hadn't happened this way." - Kage Kiryuu
"She... she did not deserve this. Gods preserve, she did not deserve any of this." - Delial Grimsong
"What doesn't kill you can make you stronger... if y'pull through. If y'can stand. If y'survive, inside and out." - Osric Melkire
"She is strong, and she is brave. However, I still fear for her. She lives in a place where the strong and the brave get used by those who have more gil and bigger titles." - Kiht Jakkya
"Roen is a sweet girl. Kind to a fault and I fear far too trusting for her own good. She saved the man I love and I'll always owe her a debt for that. I'm not sure Ul'dah deserves a girl like Roen Deneith looking out for it." - Obsidian Hornet
"If ever Eorzea had a well-meaning fool... But then, she's just a girl. A girl playing at things she ought not to. She seems to still be in possession of the idealism of youth, and Gods know how the Sultanate hasn't beaten it out of her yet. Still, she's a sweet enough lass, if a bit headstrong. Perhaps I'll keep an eye on her. Just in case." - Brynhilde Wulf
"She's a far different person than I imagined her being. Likable, strong, brave. My only regret is the conditions we were suffering under when I discovered these traits." - Askier Mergrey
"My sister will not be broken by her recent ordeal, I know this because she is a Wolfsong, I only hope the innocence that made her who she is nae gone completely" - Gharen Wolfsong

RELATIONS

Romantic Interest     Platonic Love      Good Standing     Neutral     Poor Standing
Askier Mergrey - A miqo'te and a fellow Garlean, made infamous by his attempt to bomb Ul'Dah, Roen did not trust him one bit when he stood by Delial's side during Roen's dealing with the Highlander woman, and it was only made worse when he kidnapped her afterwards. But during her captivity, he tried to save her from his vicious partner and was tortured to near death for it. Roen no longer holds hatred for him, feeling that he has suffered enough.
Brynhilde Wulf - A strong and pragmatic Highlander and ex-Resistance fighter, Brynhilde came to Roen's aid when she was trying to save Gharen. Roen looks up to her for her wisdom and sharp-mind and takes her advice to heart, even if the Highlander seems jaded by her long history of warfare against the Garleans. Recently Brynhilde had warned her of her naivete, words that Roen is finding more poignant, given the string of betrayals she has suffered recently.
C'kayah Tia - An enigmatic Seeker, Roen does not know much about him, other than two people who are dear to her both care for this miqo'te deeply. She knows his dealings and connections to be vast and perhaps not all of them legal, although she has never fully delved into them nor is she inclined to. Recently he has offered to help her in a personal matter which has earned him her trust and gratitude.
Dandoroun Kar - Brother of the man who tried to kill her, Roen met Dandaroun under strained circumstances, to deliver his brother's body to him and to beseech him for any information he can give regarding his brother. She has met him multiple times since, and the two have become friends, him offering to maintain and repair her armor after she was dismissed from her employer. She suspects he is hiding a dark past, but has taken him at his word that he knows nothing of the attempt on her life, and that he has left his previous life behind.
Delial Grimsong - Roen met this Highlander woman while researching her mother's ancestry in Little Ala Mhigo. The Highlander woman endeared herself to Roen with her helpful and even flirtatious nature, but to Roen's dismay, she later discovered the woman's true motive: to use her to hunt down the Resistance, and to capture Gharen Wolfsong, for her employer Raelisanne Banurein. Eventually Roen and Delial had come to agree to a truce, in an effort to deal with Banurein, but due to recent actions of Delial's allies, Roen is left distrusting the woman again, even if Delial did kill her tormentor, Crimson Mountain.
Erik Mynhier - The Sultansworn who saved her adopted family two years ago, Roen found him when she first came to Ul'dah and he agreed quickly to become her first paladin mentor. Erik recently recovered from an illness that nearly costed him his life, and currently leads a special unit within the Immortal Flames. He is currently missing leaving Roen wondering about his welfare.
Frhanz'ir Kirche - An Elezen alchemist she sought out in Ul'Dah when she was searching for alternative ways to heal her brother than conjury. He seemed a friendly sort, and offered her much insight regarding Gharen's injuries based on Roen's descriptions. Because of his history with Kage, Roen trusted him enough to bring him to Gharen's side, and using his knowledge of the void energies as well as the summoning arts, he was able to rid the voidling parasites that were within her brother. Roen considers herself indebted to this Elezen.
Gharen Wolfsong - A Highlander well trained in my fighting skills, Roen accidentally met him at the marketplace and eventually sought him out for lessons in battle. Their relationship grew from teacher and apprentice, to friends, to a familial bond when they discovered they were brothers and sisters. She helped him recover after rescuing him from a mysterious Garlean woman by the name of Raelisanne Banurein who captured him and tortured him for weeks. Recently the table has turned on the siblings as Roen was kidnapped and tormented by a Roe named Crimson Mountain, and after being rescued, Gharen has since taken her away from Ul'Dah to recover.
Isandor Shadowhaven - A Duskwight noble who joined the Consortium soon after she did, his sharp-tongued demeanor and judgmental disposition made her uneasy at first. But discovering the hardships that his people endured and the circumstances that forced him to seek aid above ground, she has become sympathetic to his cause. She has recently learned however that he has only gotten close to her to spy for another woman Raelisanne Banunrein and no longer considers him trustworthy.
Itarliht Syhrkoensyn - A fiercesome Roegadyn known as Crimson Mountain, Roen met him during her encounter with Delial. Despite a rocky start, they came to agree to a truce of spilling no blood between them. However, he broke this promise when he took part in attacking her and taking her captive against her will. In her captivity, she discovered that Crim has a violent temper and a dark and cruel side to him. He was killed after she was rescued.
Jajara Jara - A generous and cheerful Lalafell, Roen met this skilled Goldsmith through Gharen when she was seeking a gift for Erik. While they have only met a few times, Roen finds her presence bright and comforting. In their most recent encounter, Jajara shared an insight about Roen's feelings for her brother, which gave her much comfort and confidence in protecting her sibling. The two have further bonded after a girls-only fishing trip since on their way to Gharen's camp.
Kage Kiryuu - A brave and loyal lalafell gladiator that Natalie initially assigned to Roen as her first apprentice. Roen and he grew to consider each other like family when they underwent the Trials of Sultansworn together and swore their Oaths. He was recently transformed into a miqo'te for reasons unknown. But due to Natalie's betrayal, Roen has not spoken to or seen him since, nor does she expect to.
Kiht Jakkya - Roen met this Keeper Hunter at the Grindstone tournament. While both were quiet-mannered, they began to appreciate each other's knowledge of battle, and soon each other's unobtrusive company. Roen sees something akin to herself in Kiht, a stranger in a new land, walking her path alone, trying to do what is right. In their most recent meeting, Kiht aided Roen in tracking down someone Roen needed to find, and Roen will forever be grateful to her.
Natalie Mcbeef - Roen met this relentless Sultansworn when she accidentally fell under her investigation into the Syndicate. Despite initially finding her cold and intimidating, their relationship grew to trust and deep friendship after Natalie took Roen as an apprentice. Roen even confessed to Natalie her Garlean heritage, a secret that Natalie swore to keep. But in doing all that she could to protect that secret, Natalie betrayed Roen in the worst way, sacrificing her brother and having Roen kidnapped to keep her away. Roen was tortured and humiliated as a captive, and after being rescued, she could not forgive the woman who had caused it all. Natalie called her weak and dismissed her in an effort to cut their ties completely, and they have not spoken since.
Obsidian Hornet - A strong and fierce Roegadyn, Roen recently brought Hornet to Gharen after his rescue, knowing that they used to be lovers. Hornet's affection and loyalties to her brother being made plainly clear, Roen considers Hornet a friend, and a good ally to have at her side. She knows the woman has a violent past, but trusts that she has changed many things about herself in her recent journey of atonement. Hornet been an ever present and staunch ally in her time of need, even warning Roen to get out of Ul'Dah for her own sake.
Osric Melkire - An Immortal Flame Sergeant who contacted Roen about Erik. He claimed Erik may be in danger and he needed to talk to Gharen in order to contact The Resistance. But when Roen brought Osric to see Gharen, Osric delivered grim tidings to the siblings instead, regarding impending danger from the Brass Blades and the Syndicate. Roen has come to trust him somewhat, since he tried to help the Sultansworns and the Resistance in avoiding arrest and persecution during the investigation by Monetarists.
Qaeli Varily - Roen sought this silver haired hyur woman out when Gharen disappeared, for her name was one of two he had listed as trusted allies. But in their joint effort to rescue Gharen, they have been at odds, Qaeli's wrath being quick, her tongue cold and cutting regarding Roen's idealism and methods. But Qaeli's fierce loyalty to her brother is something Roen cannot deny, so she has continued to keep Qaeli's company, at least until Gharen recovers. Qaeli has recently gone missing.
Siha Xinkei - A Keeper and a seer, Roen met Siha through Erik, who considered the Miqo'te woman his Oath Sister. It was Siha who saw a vision of a woman that was possibly Roen's ancestor. It was also Siha who saw a vision of the masked man that had hired the assassin sent after Roen. With Erik's illness and initially presumed death, both of the women found solace in each other through their shared grief and have become close. She considers Siha her Oath-sister, and while they have been absent in each other's lives for many moons now, their bond has never suffered.
Sila Neve - An eccentric Elezen woman who found Roen while she was caring for Gharen. She has come to Roen's aid in providing what knowledge and resources she can offer to help in Gharen's recovery. She has also quietly confessed to Roen about her feelings for her brother, which Roen does not know what to do with. But she does trust that Miss Sila has her brother's best interest at heart.
