Appearance & Personality

Petite, slender and athletic in build, pale peach complexion with silver hair, well-framed and tied in traditional tails. Her face is soft and wise, adorned with somber, golden night flower eyes. Some would consider her looks 'ideal' for an older Au Ri woman, though she typically rejects the compliment entirely.

Vetiver is kind and compassionate to a fault, willing to sacrifice her own well-being to safeguard those she cares about without any regrets; her desire to protect and nurture is strong. She is, however, passive in nature, only resorting to violence as a last resort.

Confident, collected and flirtatious with a silver, accent-tinged tongue, she rarely lets down her guard; hiding underneath that enduring surface, however, resides a terribly lonely, heart-broken woman suffering from insurmountable loss and romantic longing.

Biography

Pre-Invasion

Vetiver's past is one shrouded in a dense morning mist, akin to the quaint mountainside village she once had the pleasure of calling home. What little she speaks of is kept brief; born under a matriarchal healer bloodline, Vetiver took quickly to the art of conjury, tending with diligence to the ceaseless wounds of local hunters alongside mother Sandalwood and younger sister Patchouli.

This playful, quick-witted, writer, of course, never ceases to deliver. ● Jariana Rinjahl - Keeper of the Shroud and relatively close friend, if not secretly admired. ● V'aleera Lhuil - An Ishgardian dragoon, one surprisingly hospitable despite being confronted by the most alien of all Eorzean foreigners; Vetiver respects her greatly, fully indebted to V'aleera's enduring kindness.
