Character

Appearance

Height 6 Fulms 2 Ilms

Body Type Very small with tiny ears

Hair Medium Length, Blonde

Skin tone Pale

Eyes Light Blue

Facial Features

Sirielle wears a touch of purple shadow on her eyes and just enough color on her lips so as not to appear sickly. Sirielle bares a scar on her left cheek above the chin bone where she was hit by a broken cup when she presented a cup of milk playfully to her father as a toddler.

Dress

Sirielle dresses modestly in ordinary clothes befitting a young lady of her age but nothing that would draw any kind of attention to herself as she finds herself nothing to look at and tends to be embarrassed when anyone looks her way.

Behavior

Sirielle is very shy, quiet and introverted. She doesn't say very much and when she does it is with a very soft spoken tone. She usually does not speak unless spoken to, however when challenged on something she deems correct in her eyes she can have a sharp tongue, but never without provocation or firm belief that what she says is correct.

She does not challenge authority and finds it best to do as instructed because the people that have guided her life know best.

She is naive and very clumsy and unsure in most of her actions.

She is not stupid but she is not the smartest in her conjury studies. This is mostly due to her disinterest in the subject, but she learns quickly and does as instructed.

Combat

Sirielle is not a fighter by nature. She tends to stay in the background and lets others do the fighting while she heals the small wounds her basic conjuring skill will allow.

She has been known in the past to wield her sisters lance when nobody was watching her.

She's pretty good with a fishing pole.

Relationships

Family

Father - Darvet Lacoyer - Dragoon soldier under House Dzaemal - Ishgard (1516 - ??)

Darvet was foremost a soldier. He spoke very little but was very tough and showed little to no emotion. He did not show affection and often shunned it. Darvet’s true nature showed the most when he was displeased with anyone including his family which included his wife and 2 daughters. He was not above using his brute strength to get anyone that crossed him back in line including those that he called family. He was stationed on the walls leading from Coerthas to The Black Shroud and spent little time at home and was often required to travel to other city-states for business. Upon his wife’s “death” in 1556 it became necessary for him to be a father to his children as they had no one else, so he worked mostly within the confines of Ishgard.

The last that was seen of him by his family was when he sent his daughters and their caretaker J’septha to visit family in Gridania in early 1557, mere weeks before the gates to Ishgard closed forever.

Rumor has it that he was a secret member of the Faces of Mercy and that he may have had a hand in his wife’s death. They also say that he sent his children away when their safety was threatened by the Archbishop.

Mother - Chereen Chaput - Servant - Conjurers Guild - Gridania (1530 - 1556)

Chereen worked as a Conjurer. She was extremely shy and quiet and kept to herself most of the time. She was in servitude to the Conjurer’s Guild in Gridania where she was born, and was often tasked with delivering supplies and food to the Ishgardian soldiers manning the passes to Coerthas in the north shroud. She fell in love with one of the senior officers who was much older. She moved to Ishgard and bore him 2 daughters: Obiette and Sirielle. Neither of the children was born from the supposed love they shared but of his forcefulness upon her. She regretted that only on rare occasions and only in certain circumstances could her husband really show the man he was underneath all of the foulness he showed to everyone. She dreamed that someday she would change him and make him the man she saw inside.

Chereen spent much time hiding bruises and wounds that were inflicted upon her by her husband because of crying babies, burned meals or shunning her husband’s advances. During this time she learned to use herbs and potions to assist in the healing of such wounds and became quite the Alchemist. She loved her husband and her children more than words could ever explain and would go to the ends of Eorzea for them. She had been taught at an early age not to let anyone see her true emotions and learned to hide what she was thinking and feeling inside.

Her husband was not pleased with her use of Conjury and she was not allowed to study or practice any of it in his or their children’s presence; however she spent much time inside the local Alchemists shop honing her skills and learning things from the Conjurers and Alchemists there. Shortly before her death she began studying a new type of Conjury in which she could summon companions and she learned not only skills of healing but also dark skills of hurting things.

In the spring of 1556, Chereen traveled to a local hamlet to deliver some supplies and food to a few of the local families and upon leaving she was mangled by a stray Thrustaevis and killed instantly.

Rumors say that Chereen did not die by beast but that she was banished from Ishgard by her husband when he found out about her newly learned summoning skills or his "other" activities. It is said that she has watched over her children throughout their time in Gridania and has guided them on the paths they have chosen. Chereen is also believed to have far greater skill than anyone ever believed and that she kept secrets of utmost importance and that should she be alive her presence would bring nations to the ground.

Sister - Obiette Lacoyer - Lancer - Wood Wailer (1549 - ???)

Obiette was the first born to Chereen and Darvet. She was born in Ishgard and toyed with a lance from the age of 3. She was her father’s daughter in every sense and could do no wrong in his eyes.

From an early age, she was quick to get angry and quick to punish those around her with her temper tantrums and anger. She was never afraid to use a lance to strike anyone that crossed her be it friend or foe, and certainly before thinking it through. She also used her temper to scold her mother and her younger sister but never in the presence of their father for she did not want him to see anything other than her perfection with the lance, and even more so to face his potential wrath should he get angry. She did love her little sister and was protective of her but never enough for Sirielle to notice that she really cared too much. She would however protect her to the death should the need arise.

When Obiette learned of her mother’s death from her father she was very angry. She could not believe that her mother would be careless outside the walls of Ishgard and never quite came to understood how it could happen that all the years that she spent out in the North Shroud she would be taken by a simple Thrustevis. It would never settle in her mind.

Obiette was even angrier when she was told to go with J’septha and Sirielle to Gridania to visit family. She had no knowledge of family. Her parents had never spoken of family before and they had never visited Gridania before. She did not care for J’septha and felt that she was evil and concocted evil spells, and was fully incapable of taking care of small children. She believed Sirielle and herself were sure to die before they even arrived in Gridania. She remembered the day they left vividly because she saw something in her father’s eyes she had never seen before when he waved them off …fear.

She was never able to get an acceptable answer from anyone as to why they could not return to Ishgard to their father and went so far as to run away on several occasions only to return when she couldn’t make the long journey due to the challenges of her young age.

Once in Gridania Obiette spent almost every waking moment in the Lancers Guild, because it reminded her of her father and was something she was passionate about. Once she was old enough to wield the lance properly and prove that she could handle herself she officially joined. Once fully trained she became a part of the Wood Wailers.

On an ordinary warm afternoon one day her sister Sirielle visited her post to bring her a basket of goods. She was watching over Sirielle as she was fishing and saw the strangest sight in the distance. She saw a woman put a journal upstream of where Sirielle was. She was startled by the sight as it disappeared but was enraged at the same time. At that moment she ran off into the woods to chase after the woman she saw but returned a short time later to her post. Upon completing that assignment she ended her tenure with the Wood Wailers. She returned home to Sirielle and explained to her that she had to leave as it was a matter of great urgency. She told Sirielle that she believed their mother to be alive and that at any costs she would protect her and bring their mother back to her if she was. That night she left Gridania forever.

Rumors say that she speaks to the beings in the forest and believes old tales of long gone wildlings that still live.

Friends

J'septha Tyqi - Miqote Seeker of the Sun - Caretaker - House of Dzamael - Lacoyer Family

J’sephtha was the caretaker for Chereen Chabot since childhood and was very motherly and protective of her. When Chereen was taken to Ishgard to become the wife of Lacoyer, J’septha followed dutifully for fear that harm would come to her very young charge. She feared that he was much too old for her and that he would somehow be the death of her.

A place was found in House Dzamael for J’sephtha in caring for the young children of the Lord of the house, until such time as the Lacoyer’s had their own offspring. After the birth of Obiette Lacoyer, she became the caretaker for the Lacoyer’s.

J’sephtha has very special abilities and is said to see things that the normal person does not see. She hides away in her armoire a journal of her own from the past and on rare occasions she has been caught writing in it and reading from it. She never speaks of her past but it is known that she is not a woman to be threatened.

Still J’sephtha’s one concern in the world was the welfare of Chereen and her daughters Obiette the one that lacked any kind of control and Sirielle, sweet precious Sirielle that had all the potential in the world if she would just embrace it and trust in her gift.

J’sephtha was there when the children were told of their mother’s death. She held her tongue and turned to her journal when this happened and prayed to the Gods for a better life for Chereen’s children. She was also there when she was instructed to pack as much as possible into 2 small trunks and leave Ishgard at once with the children and travel to Gridania to visit family. She knew there was no family but she knew in the eyes of Darvit that there was something else, and that she knew for their safety she should heed his words.

She did the best she could with Obiette. Obiette was angry and was her father’s child. She would never understand his wishes and there was no way she could make her understand lest secrets of the past be opened that would bring pain to everyone. J’sephtha tried her very best in the hopes that over time Obiette would learn to accept what could not be controlled and trust that everything that has been done for them was done with a purpose. Sirielle on the other hand was young and still had light in her eyes. She was too young to understand her mother’s death, only that she was not going to be there anymore.

J’sephtha had spun a good tale to the girls about their family and their history. When asked about returning to Ishgard though she had to tell the truth to a stubborn Obiette that they had shut the doors and would not let anyone return that was on the outside. She will have to live with that for now.

With Obiette being gone now and Sirielle fully grown J’sephtha still spends her time growing and selling herbs to local merchants and making a few potions here and there, but mostly she encourages the light that she sees in Sirielles’s eyes. She knows that soon she will have to make a difficult decision regarding Sirielle and that the things that Sirielle sees in her journal are not just words and images but they are a higher calling and that this journal she so loves is not just a book to dabble in but the grimoire of her life. It will be of great pain when she must send her away to follow the destiny chosen for her.

Rumors say that she is a great Arcanist that can summon the power of primals with the stroke of a quill, and that her healing knows no bounds.
