We call them fools, Who have to dance within the flame, Who chance the sorrow and the shame, That always comes with getting burned.

General Information
Syrenead Bjri Dei-ijla, she says to everyone. It's her full name, a Rava Viera name, and she'll be damned if anyone doesn't know it. She is, as far as she knows, the last survivor of her branch of the Ijla tribe that was otherwise wiped out in an unexpected forest fire when she was a child. Syrenead was found on a riverbank near Bentbranch Meadows, burnt and half-drowned, by a couple who made their living raising draft Chocobos. After she was nursed back to health, she was taught the proper way of Chocobo raising, handling, and riding, and Syrenead fell in love with the giants. Thus, she grew up on the fringes of Gridanian society. Syrenead learned the ways of the Hyur and Elezen that lived there, of how they thought of the Elementals and how they chose to live with nature. It never felt right.
When she came of age, she decided to travel all over Eorzea, trading her skills at Chocobo handling in exchange for passage. If the usual cart handler got to sleep while this strange rabbit-woman manned the reins? Shoot, that'd be just grand. Sure, she picked fights with other Sellswords sometimes, but hey, she held her own.
Without fire, forests cannot clean and grow. It is the same with all beings.

Hair & Eyes
Syrenead’s full-bodied, wavy hair is naturally black, but she regularly refreshes her dyed red highlights. She says this is for intimidation purposes, but it’s hard to say if that works - although it has scared many a man away, much to her delight.
Her eyes, too, can be intimidating. Somewhere between brown and red, they’re very expressive. It’s just that much of the time, others describe that expression as “annoyance.” She doesn’t do it on purpose and has considered introducing herself as “Syrenead, My-Face-Just-Looks-Like-This.”
A bad encounter with a particularly pissy Chocobo has caused her to lose color vision in her left eye, as well as making it more sensitive to light. Some people mistake this as a different color, when it is, in fact, just an overly enlarged pupil.
Physique & Markings
You don’t get very far in Chocobo wrangling if you don’t possess some measure of strength, and that’s what Syrenead’s body betrays: a decade of attempting to physically teach Chocobos to not be thrice-damned hellbeasts. Her lean-muscled frame is covered with scars from birds who took offense at something she did, from scrapes from being thrown from the saddle to one memorable experience of being kicked in the outer thigh. Bitten, struck with wings and tails - all have left their marks.
Hygiene & Attire
Syrenead got into the habit of bathing regularly upon arriving at her new home of Bentbranch Meadows, finding that no one - including her - enjoyed the smell of giant bird. She bathes daily if she could, often enough if she can’t. Her naturally wavy hair needs the frequent combing through anyway, and she will dunk her hair in fresh water before worrying about the rest of her.
Before leaving home to be a Sellsword for travelling merchants, her attire was entirely practical - sturdy boots, shirt and trousers made from thick cloth, full coverage of hands. However, once away from that occupation, she found that there was a certain theatricality required in scaring off bandits, and thus came The Coat. The Coat is a staple of her wardrobe. Black leather and red undershirt with gold highlights, this coat was a gift from her adoptive parents upon leaving Bentbranch. There’s something off-putting about a very tall woman wearing such a draping, long garment, which is just how she likes it.
As for anything practical, she wears a cloth over her permanently-injured left eye during the day, due to its sensitivity to light and lack of color vision, both of which can be disorienting. At night, she can get around alright without it.

RP Limits
I like to consider myself a flexible player who is willing to commit to a number of different types of scenes and role-play scenarios, but even I have my limits. If something is on the play list, assume it means yes, as long as it's within the context of the current play or ongoing plot. No's are typically a hard no, and it means don't ask.
I will play .

RP Hooks
While the below is by no means comprehensive, it's a kind of spring board for walk-up RP. Longer plots that are meant to run for more than a few quick RP's, please feel free to send me a tell so we can work out a good reason for our characters to get to know one another. I'm always looking for RP, unless I'm actively spamming PvE content.

Player Note
There is a lot of information on this character wiki, but it is by no means completely comprehensive. There are chunks of backstory that are left intentionally vague so that details can be later added as developed through creative writing or in role-play revelation. Feel free to use Common or Uncommon rumors freely, if you want to use a Rare Rumor as a plot hook or to spark RP, I would ask that you send me a tell first, to make certain it's alright.
