Sana Sunada

INTRODUCTION Sana Sunada is the furthest thing from a curious figure. She isn’t interesting, compelling, nor is she especially talented in any extraordinary thing. That’s how it seems, at least, upon first meeting the girl—she’s terribly simple-seeming; it’s almost tragic. She’s square as a sugarcube and disinteresting as dust gathered in the attic; she’s a flower pressed between the pages of a book, dry and dead and faded to a pale shade of periwinkle. But of course, she has her own secret chronicle of adventures—she grew up with a daring cabal of operatives and assassins during the Garlean occupation of Othard, then sailed across the seas to Eorzea, seeking refuge. For a time, she worked as a housekeeper; for a time, she did nothing, simply existing in inn rooms. She was a lost dandelion set adrift on the wind, writing songs and poems and collecting books to learn the language. And once she’d gained her footing in her new home, fate saw it fit to undo everything in a scattering spiral of unspooling constellations and aimless stars. Fate saw it fit to tangle her in a cosmic dance that she can’t step away from. APPEARANCE She is easily overlooked, especially in a crowd of her own people. Everything about her is prim and pretty, but understated—a natural beauty not unlike that of a wildflower. She is remarkably dainty. Thin and frail from head to tail to toe, the sharp contours and curves of her bones are more far apparent than those of supple sinew. Her wrists and ankles look dangerously thin, as though she’s like to topple over or break in half at any time. With virtually no curves to speak of, her bust all but disappears underneath her clothing. Her two-spaded tail, too, is skinnier than average. Typically, she wears her hair parted down the middle and pulled into two low pigtails. The hairstyle compliments her facial structure—framed by her long bangs, her gentle features are made gentler, bright eyes promising forgiveness and warmth and lips promising petal-soft kisses. The soft swell of her cheekbones and the dip of her brow into the shallow slope of her nose draw the observer’s gaze to her sleepy, half-lidded eyes, that, in the right lighting, appear dark and sultry. Her irises are the color of a pale tundra sky. Most things about her are flowerlike—from her eyes to her wisteria-whispering voice to the perfume of sunlight that scents her vicinity, she’s a garden of a girl, a bed of sunflowers and daisies and ruby-red petunias that dance on the wind. Distinguishing marks: + Underweight; bony + Crescent-shaped horns + Unusually delicate scales + Slender, double-spaded tail Common accessories: + Light necklaces, sometimes; usually easy to overlook. + Feathered hair ties + A touch of clear nail polish PERSONALITY She’s a people-pleaser, ever at the mercy of her loved ones when it comes to emotional stability. But she’s too quiet—she just can’t overtly ask for the love that she needs; instead, she’s forever trying to subtly gain it through small, silent gestures: making rosemary tea, mending clothes, listening to woes for hours on end, or tidying up living spaces. She likes to bring people pressed wildflowers and butterfly wings as little favors of her love, but can never gift anything that comes straight from the heart. If there’s one thing Sana is good at, it’s cleaning—she’s a only clear-minded person because she makes a habit of straightening things in houses. She’s very talented at keeping herself distracted and her hands busy. She blushes, stammers, and covers her mouth with her hand when she smiles; she’s known to trip over words when flustered—which isn't too uncommon. For this reason, she often finds herself at the end of harmless jokes that she takes far too seriously. She always bounces back, though, usually with the help of someone looking to be in mild distress. She is always one to help a stranger in peril, and that, too, lands her in a lot of trouble.
