P E R S O N A L I T Y

X'shah has always managed to remain just out of reach.

This miqo'te thrives on one talent at the fore of all else — the ability to convince those who interact with her that they understand a great deal about her while never revealing true motive or . This aspect of her personality has proven a double-edged sword; earning her the intrigue and ire of those she encounters and interacts with.

Deliberate words and guarded glances cannot hide all, however. With a mere brush of her presence it is easy to perceive her as a tightly-wound coil unwilling to part with trust, riddled with double-standards and opposing personality traits that actively work against her and her goals.

She is a meddler, yet solitary. Insecure, yet imperious. Naïve, yet bright. A veritable dynamo of youth without the wisdom to channel her energies into productivity.

A P P E A R A N C E

This miqo'te has the wild look of a predator who chases its prey for sport rather than the meat.

Her height and the cast of her physical structure is unimposing; X'shah being pear-shaped with excessively broad hips and massively thick thighs. Where she was once a toned huntress before her tenure as priestess, the sweet meats of the city has significantly rounded her figure out.

Her windswept burgundy hair is coarse and massaged with a healthy sheen of oil. Both ears are blotched black, a tuft of ruff peaking each. Perhaps she can be considered substantially pretty by city-standards, however, she's a little more than rough around the edges from inhabiting the Sagolii for more than twelvesmoon.

Her skin is pockmarked from claw and fang of predators she has opposed for territory or dominance. Teeth-marks honeycomb her ears, one left completely ragged. Her stubby tail is bumped and crooked, even if bristling with shiny healthy hair.

Swathes of scarification and semi-permanent henna score her flesh — honoring her role as Speaker of Azeyma, daughter, grand-daughter, and Lynx. Not even her face has remained unscathed from ritual scribe: two gouges were cut and healed over long ago into her cheeks; three lines of bumps dot her chin; her forehead sports a design of raised welts masterfully branded at an early age to signify sept devotion.

L I K E S ■ Books: In the solitude of the desert Belah'dian tombs, books were and continue to be her one true companion. ■ Sweets: A relatively new staple to her diet, she has discovered sugary sweets of the city-states with the unfortunate side effect of her form softening. ■ Solitude: Be as it may her assignment is to establish a shrine in the Goblet, she still takes lengthy sabbaticals into the dunes to unwind.

D I S L I K E S ■ Womanizers: She considers herself neither a conquest nor notch under the belt, and will rarely entertain a fellow who categorizes women as "those he has slept with" and "those who he has not" long. ■ Sub-tribals/New tribes:While her duties declare that she comport herself with basic cordiality in the presence of all citizens of Eorzea, X'shah will not bless nor abide those arrogant enough to claim status as sub-tribe or newly established tribe without properly proving themselves. ■ Personal Space Invasion: X'shah is strict when it comes to her personal bubble. Few are allowed to linger over the threshold. ■ Seeker/Keeper Half-Breeds: This needs no elaboration.

Q U I R K S ■ Inferiority Superiority Complex: X'shah masks her crippled self-esteem with a loud bark and far more scathing bite. ■ Body Language Spectacular: Fifty percent of her communication is done through body language. ■ Purple Prose X'shah spent years poring over ancient tomb scripts. With a library as her personal companion for so long, lacking practice, she tends to apply the prose from her previous everyday solitude to conversation.

LIMITS Personal RP Limits ■ I will role-play mature themes, as it is fairly obvious gritty character concept. It's all about a balance of the good and the bad for me. I am generally open-minded so long as it doesn't compromise X'shah's core beliefs. She won't do anything I don't think she would do. ■ I will not role-play anything that compromises her basic characterization, extreme gore, or rape. ■ I will not role-play with People, Free Companies, or Linkshells that force adult themes on the public/don't take it to private. Specifically themes that include rape or extreme gore. ■ I will not role-play with underage characters or players nor associate with Free Companies/Linkshells that allow them, especially those who obviously engage in ERP. Respect my boundary or you will get dropped.

THE PLAYER Yes, hello. I've been role-playing for twenty-two years and it's by far my favorite hobby. I am a dynamite southern-raised gal currently living as a recluse in the desert. For the most part, I'd like to think I've created myself a nice little life of solitude and peace. A touch jaded, I've seen and heard it all — so I tend to turn to dark, filthy, or shocking humor to make it through this grind we call life. You now know what to expect. I just can't take anything seriously.

H O O K S

■ X'shah's shrine is easy to find by word-of-mouth and her status as Speaker is well-known in Ul'dah by now.

■ X'shah was born among a group of families — a sept of Lynx — physically separated from her home tribe. These bright-eyed miqo'te wander the massive expanse of the southern Sagolii as a nomadic group that has pledged to thrive under the harshest of Azeyma's conditions. Little is known of what they have or hope to accomplish. What is known that they lead plain lives with little wealth, instead choosing to focus on their honing their as hunters and warriors. Territorial disputes with this sept is generally dreaded and seen as a small nuisance, considering the savagery displayed the painted warriors of the close-knit sept bordering on zealotry. Neighboring Sagolii tribes darkly whisper of their own hunters encountering her sept's women engaged in dark rituals and strange magic. Some of the blackest tales spread by the enemies of her sept swear that several of their own have wandered into the dunes at night bewitched by a member of her sept, lured by a strange hex or song, never to be seen again.
