General
Sehlo'sae Nelhah, but often simply called Seh, is a Gridanian farmer from Bentbranch. Cheerful and a very ambitious man, he is always dreaming big and wanting to spread open his wings in search of new excitements.
With a heart of gold, he never will turn away from those in need despite having little to offer; he will share the little he has in hopes of being able to make others smile. Despite a simple upbringing without any teachings, he is quite bright and catches on things quickly, making him adapt to new environments very quickly.
Soft on the eyes, he does often make use of his charms to make his way around many obstacles but he would never lie or use people. He is very courteous and will treat people with utmost respect unless given reason not to, in which case, he'd just avoid talking to the person.

Occupation
Self-made business woman, having toxicology as her main trade, she also dabs perfectly in herbology, biology and zoology.
Never having studied it in any official institution, she is self-taught and simply learned by the method of trial and error. Unfortunately, errors in this line of work can be deadly and she was at death’s doorstep more than once. At first suffering greatly and sick for entire weeks as her body had to defeat the poisons but at the same time it drove her to find the cures much faster and she’d use herself as a guinea pig. Absolutely covered in bite marks and other bruises over her hands and arms, they are the only visual proof of her profession which she hides anyway under a pair of black gloves. The other thing that she benefited from the poison hunting is her immune system which is absolutely resistant to all poisons and illnesses.
Being at the peak of her success, she now provides her services to all clients who visit her office, regardless with what end her poisons or cures may be used. She offers secrecy as her top priority and won’t ever care to ask for whom or for what she is giving dangerous substances. Currently she supplies mostly the army, all of the Grand Companies and also private customers; with potions, poultices, poisons and many other innovative inventions of hers.
Although lately, trying to find any extra occupations, she turned to the lab where she started developing some explosives. Rather harmless and mostly small bombs containing gas but she is merely starting, finding a certain fascination with the technology that Satomi Hakase takes care of, and she found herself wanting to learn more. Being inept with anything involving aether, and weak physically, technology is her only source for any sort of protection and she is gradually getting better at it, making more dangerous explosives and working towards becoming a pyrotechnician on the side. She is not selling yet her inventions but slowly is applying them in some handy situations.

Love Interests
- ♥ Sini'to Shadar (30)
A chance meeting at the most ridiculous gathering for outrageous music and drinking, Shin found this priest and they started to converse, far away from the loud crowds. It took very little to see that they had a lot in common and she quickly developed immense respect for the man. Their interests clicked, and so did their likes and dislikes which shocked her but pleased her greatly. Over the next few days, they grew even closer and even opened up about their pasts to each other, a thing that Shin never did with newly met people but it felt just right with him. Sini'to proved that he didn't mind her snarky personality and even seemed to enjoy it, which puzzled her and made her want to know more about him despite imposing on herself to not approach men any longer in any way, especially romantic. He finally asked her out the day before Starlight; and on Starlight, she told him she agreed. Ever since then, the two are inseparable and always pushing each others’ buttons but the love they have for each other is clear to anyone no matter how weird the couple. Shin adores him above anything but she'd never admit that to him or anyone.
Friends
- ♥ Adham Hadad (15)
A lad she found in the streets of Ul'dah begging for money. He approached her asking for spare gil and she decided to take him to the market area and paid for all he needed. Over the days to come, she brought him food and blankets, always staying to talk and enjoy each other’s company. Gradually, he grew attached to her and she noticed it. Seeing great potential in the lad, she took him to Vylbrand Academy where she was working at the time and he became a caretaker. Little did she know that in the following days he asked her to marry him. Adoring the boy as a son, she refused.
- ● Ririfu Rifu (18)
Meeting this little Lalafell in the Quicksand of all places, she couldn't help but feel the need to help the girl and approached her at the counter of the bar. The girl was rather shy but after talking for longer, she immediately opened up and showed to have a very sweet and lovable disposition. The two girls met almost every day in the Quicksand until Shin invited her to attend the Vylbrand Academy as a student, to which Ririfu agreed. Ever since then, the two have been inseparable.
- ● Seseli Seli (36)
An acquaintance from the Vylbrand Academy, she met Seseli through Ririfu as the two started dating. Always watching over them and vouching for them. Alas, after a few months Seseli came to her heartbroken and said that things ended. Offering a shoulder to cry on and ears to listen, they grew close very quickly and Seseli found a very good friend in Shin, so good, she asked her to date. Unable to tell her that she wasn’t interested, she lied to her and said she wasn’t ready.
- ● Noir Velacia (20)
One of the very first people that Shin met when she arrived to Thanalan, this bubbly and cheerful girl approached Shin through one of her ex-lovers and would always invite her for dinner at their Free Company. Having nothing better to do and being offered a free meal, she’d agree. Over food, the two would talk and get to know each other. Until today she cannot explain why she got to like the girl so much but her genuine personality was simply impossible to hate. They went on a mission once and Noir had saved Shin’s life, making her indebted to her forever.
Acquaintances
- ● Satomi Hakase (25)
Alchemy teacher and apothecary at the Vylbrand Academy, the two met within the great halls of the institution and something just clicked. Shin had a hard time tolerating the girl’s constant talking and shyness and not to mention her odd quirks; but gradually warmed up to her. Even though she was an odd ball, she was gifted and Shin could respect that. They often worked together in the laboratory, each one doing her things or even together as they were the only ones to ever use it. The amount of times that they got into trouble was too much to even count.
- ● Dietrich Dracht (30)
Thaumaturgy professor at Vylbrand, Shin met him even before he joined the academy at a celebration in Ul’dah. The man immediately made quite the impact as he was so elegant and well dressed, his manner of speech making her gag and want more. He earned her respect quickly and she sees him as an equal if not even, perhaps, a superior. Their relationship was strictly professional and she’d always assist him when needed.
- ● C'kayah Polaali (31)
A recurring customer of Shin’s that never seems to have enough, either of her poisons or her. Met the man before the Quicksand, he was quick to make use of her skills and requested her to duplicate of a poison called Mandisserenne, which translated pain into pleasure. No matter how odd the request, he paid well, so she did it. At the same time, he was quick to try and convince her to try out the potion with him, wanting to sleep with her, something that she refused but he keeps bringing up during every visit when he comes to restock on it.
Enemies
- ● O'rahn Kevelan (19)
This young lad rubbed Shin the wrong way immediately the moment she stepped through Vylbrand Academy's doors. She couldn’t justify why this spunky redhead immediately fell into her ‘most hated’ list, but they were at each other’s’ throats since the beginning. Fiery and snarky, he’d always have something to tell her and it would tick her off immediately and send her into a rage, trying to pick a fight with him. They always act like true brother and sister. Even though Shin does look after him behind his back, she despises him with a passion and the feeling is definitely mutual.
- ● L'dhala Tia (36)
Approaching the man by accusing him of getting her friend Ririfu drunk, a fight broke out instantly, thus their relation is not very good. The way the man speaks and acts just sends her overboard, genuinely thinking he is retarded or has some sort of weird lisp that needs fixing. She avoids him at all costs as the mere sight of him makes her blood boil.
Failed Relationships:
- ♥ Aelfred Sigmundsson (35)
One of the very first people she met as she stepped into the Quicksand for the very first time. This loud-mouthed brute Hyur knew his way around the city and gladly offered her a helping hand in learning the ways in Thanalan. Over time they grew close and he became her very first lover and she was quite happy with him, but the romance was short lived as she found out that he was cheating on her from his secret lover who also had no idea of Shin. She quickly left the man and shut herself out from any men.
- ♥ Lofen Melocuil (26)
Charmer anda flirt, the Miqo’te detective swept her off her feet in her msot vulnerable moment and used her for his own pleasures. She only discovered after a long time that he was already engaged to another woman. Distraught, she sought out the woman and tried to apologize to her, explaining that she had no idea even about her existence but it only made things worse. Eventually, Lofen abandoned his lover and then his visits to Shin’s office became much more frequent, as he’d use these visits to let loose some steam, but it took her little time to understand that it was a toxic relationship and she ended it despite having still some feelings for the man. Once again, she just left the public eye for some time to be in peace and to deal with her solitude.
- ♥ Naoh'to Maimhov (32)
Hard working, devoted and famous gladiator in the Gladiator's Guild in Ul’dah, they met in the Quicksand over some drinks and in the middle of that, decided to have a walk where things quickly escalated and they ended up sleeping with each other that very night. A one-night fling turned into a long term romance as the two even talked about moving in together and perhaps starting a family. Naoh’to, however suddenly left one day, leaving her a note that he’d be back eventually. Weeks turned to months and no news was received until he finally came back, penniless and a drunkard with nothing to show for and no future. It turned out that he had met his ex-lover who had contacted him because she was pregnant with his child from before he even met Shin. The poor man had no idea what to do and his options were limited. Thus, heartbroken but with no choice, Shin let him go.
- ♥ Vezh'a Yhumuzhah (23)
Shin met this Miqo’te early on when she first came to Ul’dah and they had immediate chemistry for each other but it never flowered into anything, the two remaining friends if not even mere acquaintances. After being left by Naoh’to and shattered, Vezh’a decided to give it a try and after all these years of a normal friendship, asked her out. She refused immediately and wouldn’t even speak of starting any relationship but over time, gradually, she warmed up to the man and got used to his presence in her life, realizing that she did have some sentiment for him. Finally, she agreed. Time went by but she quickly understood that she’d never be able to give him what he wanted and she came went to him and explained this, telling him that she will leave him. He did not take it well and they broke up on very bad terms.
History
Upbringing
Born in the Shroud in Bentbranch to an agricultural family with four older brothers, she was always the odd-ball which did not necessarily enjoy what her family was dedicated to. Breaking away from tribal life, her family had established itself within the Central Shroud and managed to make a very good and comfortable living by working the land. Big terrains of fields belonged to her family and working in them was the daily routine for her parents and the eldest brothers with a couple employees.
From the beginning, it was clear that Shin wasn’t going to follow in the family tradition and she did everything to displease her parents and those around her like a rebel. Stuck-up and certain of herself, she quickly gained the reputation of headstrong even as a child and needed to be involved in absolutely everything regarding the community.
Teased and annoyed by her brothers due to being the only girl in the family apart from her mother, she quickly grew a backbone and a short temper, snapping at every little annoying word or complaint sent her way, often exploding in utter rage; a trait which remains until today. Slowly growing older, she was finally told that she’d have to work in the fields like the rest of her family and her immense rebel phase set in as she’d wake up early morning before anyone else and go to the woods where she sat for hours on end, merely enjoying the calm and nature surrounding her. It created a certain respect for nature, and at the same time, hatred for people.
Coming back home, her absences often weren’t taken well and she’d be the victim of severe beatings that only got worse as she grew older and continued her behaviour; cementing her loathing for her family further, especially her parents. Her awful vision, which she unfortunately has until today, was due to such beatings as she would often get subconjunctival hemorrhages and the blood in her eyes would gradually damage her vision.
