Appearance: Veyha stands at around five feet tall, an average height for a Miqo'te. Her dark brown skin is riddled with scarring. Two scars line her face, one crossing the bridge of her nose and the other vertically descending her brow and past her eye. Upon immediate inspection, her arms, hands, and knuckles seem to bare the brunt of her past injuries, detailing an intimate relationship with claw and fang of beasts. Save for the noticeably feminine curves of her hips and chest, Veyha is rather leanly muscled and fit, a feature that serves as a testament to the Keeper's physical aptitude and life as a huntress. Her eyes are a dull but warm gold, filling the area around her round pupils. White hair, highlighted with accents of gold falls from the Miqo'te's head, usually kept in varying styles depending on it's convenience at the point in time for her, but is always organized enough to stay out of her eyes if she can help it. Her feline like ears, tail, facial markings and sharp canine teeth are standard for those of her race.
Clothing: The Keeper seems to have a steadily growing penchant for draping herself in fine silks and fabrics, but often is she seen wearing the remnants of hunted beasts in the form of furs and leathers. Large, ornamental earrings, myriads of hand made, corded necklaces, and banded rings wrought and carved from precious metals and bones adorn the woman just shy of being in excess. Even with a passing glance can one notice sigils and runes etched and inscribed into any one of her accessories, all seemingly arcane in origin. When hunting in any official capacity Veyha dons the garb of a Hunter-Scholar, a title that she seems to hold in high regard.
Veyha boasts simplicity and an eerie sense of pleasantry at most given times. Bouts of playfulness, affection, and ease of amusement are but a few of the all too fleeting traits that the huntress embodies. Her occupation as a hunter and scholar of magnificent beasts and the lands that they inhabit lend well to the Keeper's habits. Wandering to the far reaches of Eorzea without tell or warning at any given moment make her well versed in her knowledge of flora and fauna of most regions. She is ever watchful, expectant, and quick to latch onto anything that one might share with her. A keen observance of quirks, mannerisms, and movements all make themselves present and manifest in a lingering stare. Veyha holds a tenebrous image towards conventional senses of ideal and morality, a disposition that betrays the burrowing roots of selfishness under the surface of pleasantry.
Likes
Nature.
Veyha is incredibly fond of a regions natural likeness, resources, plants, and animals. While lots of places outside of the shaded boughs of the Black Shroud are too bright for the nocturnal woman, she can find joy in them all the same.

Antelopes.
This animal brings Veyha great joy. She sees them as a symbol of vitality, tranquility, and balance. Underneath the myriad of corded necklaces she keeps a small, tarnished silver trinket of one against her chest.
Wood Wailers.
Once amongst their ranks, the militant band of Gridanian Sentries holds a special place in the Keeper's heart.
Hunting.
The be all end all of which her life subsists by in one way or another.
Dislikes

Far, far too cold for the Keeper's taste, and most of her trips there have been cause for distress and annoyance.

Those who hunt maliciously, without restraint, without sanction and without thoughts for preserving the life found within The Black Shroud.
Harsh sunlight.
The nocturnal woman has a hard time adjusting to it.
