Svanielle Corvus

Details
General Information A mysterious elezen hailing from Ishgard. On the outside she appears normal like any other, but upon closer inspection there is more to her than one would think. For one, she is well-read for one of lowborn status and her way of thinking is more open-minded compared to the more prejudiced citizens of Ishgard. Much like a bird she never stays in one place and takes off when the opportunity arises. The most strangest phenomenon is that no matter where she goes a large murder of crows is never far from her. While it may be regarded as a strange occurrence, it seems that the woman is capable of communicating with the crows and in turn they understand her as much as she understands them. It is best that one takes caution in approaching her. Some may be met with a courteous reception, or meet the fate of being torn apart by thousands of crows. History Appearance  BUILD: Svanielle is a slender woman of short stature. Only standing between 5'7" and 5'8", she is shorter than the average elezen woman that even full grown hyur men can easily dwarf her. Her height is the result of living in poverty where she suffered from frequent malnutrition which stunted her growth during her childhood. Her diet improved when she was admitted into the Sharlayan Studium, but by the time she developed into womanhood she is unable to grown anymore. Due to her height it was difficult to find clothing of her size in Ishgard, being a city that primarily consisted of elezen. Commissioning custom made clothes would prove to be too expensive for someone who lives humbly, so she began to learn how to sew her own clothes which would prove to be a very useful skill. Despite her stature she seems quite fit enough to pull her weight, hands callous from the efforts of hard living.
PHYSICAL FEATURES: From the lack of sunlight and a meager diet, Svan has a very pale complexion, "white as snow" if we want to be floral about it. The color of the skin provides a vast contrast to her wavy black hair which curls in many directions that all the pins in the world would be unable to tame it. Her dark hair is even apparently so naturally unkempt it is hard to brush the knots out, so instead she often adorns it with various decorative hairpins and barrettes, preferably flowers. The first distinct feature of her hair is that upon closer inspection one could see faded purple streaks, which indicated at some point she must have colored her hair in the past. The second feature is that her hair is actually very disheveled in the back, the left side being longer than the right which appeared to be roughly cut. Because she parts her hair over her shoulder it's difficult to see the dishevelment.[1] EYES: Probably her most striking feature that is further emphasized due to her overall monochromatic appearance. While her eyes are a pale lavender hue there have been hints of blue within. Svan applies dark eyeshadow to accent her eyes, which is actually the only makeup she would apply daily.
STYLE: Svan's state of dress is a combination of modest but alluring(your opinions vary of course), consisting of skirts and dresses to give her a freedom of movement. Her shirts vary between long or short sleeved which are often exposing her shoulders and back, or none at all. Notably, legs are always covered by stockings or thigh high boots, which in truth is due to because her legs are heavily scarred and sensitive upon exposure, a secret not known to many. Nost of her clothes are sewn by her own hand with simple solid colors without much flair, but as she hones her skills there is a significant improvement to her works. Her main colors are primarily white, black, or purple hues.
Personality Free-spirited and open-minded, Svan strives to take a positive outlook on life no matter how bleak it may seem. She is tactful and intelligent while curious to a fault, having a habit of closely observing anyone she meets and even more if they are people of interest. She is also cautious and tends to keep to her emotions heavily guarded. Her interactions treated with a calm and polite disposition. To those she acquainted with she becomes friendlier and perhaps more sisterly the deeper the bond becomes.
Yet every person has their vices: Her lowborn upbringing and years of countless scorn had affected her mentality. Because of this Svan will not open herself up to others easily and completely disregards herself. People are only able to see the surface that she had crafted herself, a mask to hide her true emotions of her life. Despite her true feelings she has accepted who she is, but she has also accepted that she is undeserving of good fortune. Instead she devotes her time to helping others who are less or just as unfortunate as she is, but time would only tell on who would help the helper. [Post-Heavensward and beyond] With a number of years spent beyond Ishgard, Svanielle had taken advantage of her newfound freedom and began to have more confidence in herself, enjoying her life as she sees fit. While she continues to remain reclusive, she no longer holds herself in low regard as she did in the past. Although the feelings of ineptitude slowly creep from the back of her mind, she remains resolute.

Combat, Abilities & Weaponry
Explanation
 Class Name: Runemancer This class name is used to describe her magic methods, a mage primarily skilled in creating runic enchantments. As of Shadowbringers this skill has improved significantly since her time spent with the fae folk of Il Mheg. The best way to describe Svan's style of fighting is referring her as a mobile magic user, which she had become this way after being influenced by a friend's fate. As a result, she honed her skills in various weaponry and also begun finding a new method of casting magic by utilitizing runes to activate upon her will. Much like how Arcanists use enchanted ink to power their tomes, she felt the same could be done through infusing magic into weaponry beyond staves and books. This brought forth to her specialization of rune magic, which she learned how to enchant her weapons with runes so that they may be linked to her. Most of her armor had also been enchanted to withstand most attacks and elements to make up for the lack of armor. In the past she prefered to use a rapier in the style of a Red Mage for combat and healing, though lately she has become more accustomed to using a pair of chakrams much like the Dancers for more mobility. Despite having combat skills, Svan tends to keep her abilities to herself and uses them only when threatened or out on a job that requires it so it's very rare for her to use any of her skill aside from light healing magic and minor enchanting, but she can hold her ground if forced.
