Background

Born in the 1st sun of the 5th astral moon, Sasha Rochester was born into one of Ul'dah's wealthiest families. Sasha was always given everything except for what she truly wanted from her parents: The freedom to practice all the magic she desired, without her parents stopping her. Being highly sensitive to aetherial influence, magic has always taken a physical toll on her. She had a bad experience in her childhood that nearly claimed her life when she started to use her life source instead of mana after her pool was depleated. Horrified, her family tried to stop her from pursuing magic any further, but this hardly stopped her from seeking knowledge in the area of Arcamina, Conjury, and Thaumaturgy, sparking bitter conflict between her and her parents, this intensified when they tried to force her into marriage for the sake of expanding their wealth to someone she hated, Sebastian Castlebane. About 2 moons ago, tired of having her life controlled by others, she stole a small fortune from her father and ran away from her home, never to look back.

Appearance

Sasha is relatively tall for a midlander. She has long ash-brown hair with white highlights and dark green eyes. She has rather pale skin and a slim yet fit body. She likes to dress elegantly and sometimes provocatively. Many people have described her as beautiful, and she uses this to her advantage.

Personality

Though not much is known about Sasha due to her tendency to hide her true feelings and refusal to get too close to anyone, Sasha has a very flirty, friendly, composed, and charming demeanor. Often confusing people who seek to get closer to her when they meet her (true) aloof and distrusting nature. She rarely seems angry, upset, or sad. Always keeping a whimsical, witty, and sweet manner of dealing with strangers, she makes many friends, but none that are aware of her true nature. She desires to know as much as she wants from everyone and everything she can, but immediately backs away if someone makes the effort of getting to know her feelings. She is, however, always willing to help others and dislikes seeing others suffer.

Due to her relationship with her parents and Sebastian, Sasha always expects people to want to take advantage of her, and due to her submissive nature when it comes to those she cares about, she is usually walked over. She highly dislikes conflict despite her reckless nature, deeming conflict with other people as "unnecessary" and "exhausting".

Family & Relationships (NPCs)

Being the only child, she was always overprotected and spoiled. Her family is cultured and wealthy, but not the type to be sentimental or emotionally-supportive. The Rochesters aren't very famous due to their overly-cautious nature and dislike for public appearances.

Sebastian Castlebane Someone Sasha hates to this day. He was someone Sasha considered "alright" at first, but that changed when one night, when she was extremely weak due to one of her atherial bursts, he tried to work his will upon her. Disgusted, deeply hurt, and terrified, she managed to absorb part of his own life source power, leaving him to die, unfortunately, he didn't, and to this day, Sasha still holds a grudge against him.

Emeryck Rochester Sasha's father, a wealthy merchant, known for bringing in foreign high quality materials from around Hydelyn into Eorzea. He's stern, polite, and cool-headed. concerned for his child's safety, he was the first one to oppose her pursuit in magic, and went to great lengths trying to keep Sasha from practicing magic. Seeing that marrying her off would bring in more money for the family, he decided to arrange angagement between her and Sebastian Castlebane.

Katherine Rochester Sasha's mother. Lominsan by birth, she is another merchant, known for selling academic wares such as books, school-materials, and anything any guild or educational institution may need. Owner of one of the biggest libraries in Eorzea. She is described as being intelligent, diplomatic, and hard-working.

Thinking that she was kidnapped, her parents are still looking for her even now, though the hopes for her survival are slowly diminishing.

Combat

Being fascinated by magic, Sasha is mainly a magic user. She always avoids conflict if she can, but she is by no means a weak fighter. Despite being very skilled with magic and powerful, her mana pool has a tendency to randomly drain itself (she has yet to figure out why) leaving her defenseless against anyone she could be fighting. She is also prone to having what she calls "aetherial bursts" where she becomes faint and weak when she is unable to control or block the aether around her, leaving her in a very fragile state, she's by no means physically weak, but she's is nowhere near a skilled fighter when faced with someone who has experience in the disciples of war.
