| − | Annessa Thorne is a Hyur Midlander currently based in Lima Lominsa where she has been living and working since the events of the Calamity. With no memory of her past she has built herself a small but comfortable life in the maritime city. However dreams and nightmares plague her sleep, awakening hazy, shadowy memories that suggest her past is not quite to innocent as she had thought. Studying the art of the arcanum from Limsa Lominsa’s Arcanists she is quietly planning a trip to Ul’dah in search of answers.

| | ===A Brief History=== | | ===A Brief History=== |
| | | | |
| − | Annessa Thorne woke five years ago in the city of Limsa Lominsa with little memory of who she was or how she had arrived. She believes herself to be a victim of the Calamity; that her memory loss may have been brought on by injuries sustained during the chaos. But whatever brought her to the maritime city remains a mystery to her - only hazy memories and chaotic, incoherent dreams give her any clue to her past or purpose.
| + | (updating) |
| − | | |
| − | She awoke safe and (aside from the memory loss and a raging headache) relatively sound in unfamiliar surroundings, her injuries tended with care by a stranger who had found her near the docks. A search of her meager possessions suggested a recent stay in the mercantile city of Ul’dah and the potions and herbs found in her small pack indicated past work as an alchemist, botanist or some similar trade. But any knowledge she may have accumulated in her past life was as hazy and shrouded now as the memories of her past. With little coin and no real trail to follow Limsa Lominsa became her home.
| |
| − | | |
| − | She adopted the name Annessa Thorne, a temporary alias in place of her real and now long forgotten identity. With little else to go on and no money to speak of she has spent the past five years building a new life in the maritime city, working part time as a bartender and waitress at the Drowning Wench; a temporary situation she has assured herself she will leave as soon as a better alternative presents itself. Whatever her trade in the past the prospect of spending the rest of her life serving drinks and waiting on drunken customers in the Wench holds little appeal. In the hours she has free she has been learning from the city’s Arcanists, introduced to the art by the same person who found and rescued her from the docks during the disaster.

| − | Her missing past is a source of intense frustration. Her dreams of late have grown dark and frightening; strange scenes of murder and violence, out of kilter with her current, normal existence. One in particular keeps surfacing again and again and it is this dream which tempts her into travelling to the city of Ul’dah in search of answers. Just as soon as she can afford to travel…

| | ===Appearance=== | | ===Appearance=== |
| | | | |
| − | Annessa is of average height and weight for a Midlander, with long reddish brown hair that she keeps tied back from her face. She tends to favour a more conservative style of dress, preferring practical over pretty and balks at spending more coin than necessary on what she considers to be frivolous adornments. As a result she has developed something of a plain, unremarkable look, blending in with the crowd with strangely practiced ease.

| | ===Personality/Behaviour=== | | ===Personality/Behaviour=== |
| | | | |
| − | Normally a calm, easy going person Annessa projects a relaxed and friendly demeanor to the outside world. She comes across on first impressions as amiable though perhaps a little reserved, making friends easily but being careful not to let others get too close. Where others in her position might have withdrawn from society or searched for answers to questions of their missing past Annessa has instead integrated well into life in Limsa Lominsa, always keen to meet new people and happy to listen endlessly to the stories and tales brought to the city by passing adventurers.

| − | | |
| − | However she has grown more wary of late. The dark dreams that plague her night time hours have awoken shadowy, half recalled memories that suggest that she may not be all that she is pretending to be. She is keenly aware of the strangely vulnerable position that her missing memories place her in; the possibility that someone from her past could walk right through the door and she would never know who they are is an alarming one. In the past such musings would have filled her with hope, but that feeling has been replaced with one of fear. If the contents of her dreams are any indication of her past, she may not want that person to walk through those doors.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The distinctly vulnerable feelings roused by this fact have lent a certain jumpiness to her manner. Though she tries to keep up the outward appearance of a calm, collected woman each new and unfamiliar face is scanned with apprehension, as though she hopes she might catch a glimmer of warning before disaster strikes. At time goes on every new encounter brings with it a growing sense of unease and appearances become harder to maintain; the need for answers that has plagued her the past five years has taken on a more urgent tone. Though her dreams may be nothing more than tormented fantasies or even half remembered tales there are answers to be found and she would rather find them herself than have them exposed for all the world to see – particularly if the truth is darker than she had believed.
