Ytta Schatten

[edit] Details Personality Relationships Rumors Gallery OOC Notes GENERAL INFORMATION Ytta Schatten is a sorceress, antiquarian and archivist that forms one of the halves of Schatten & Schatten, an excavating company created in the interest of pursuing priceless relics and important pieces of Eorzean history. The youngest daughter of the witch Ydna, a clever woman whose ingenuity and cunning saw her safely from wartorn Ala Mhigo and delivered into a lucrative position among the Ul'dahn nobility, she stands as the heir to her family's fortunes and seems committed to occupying a similar place. Despite that, she has garnered a reputation for an insatiable lust for adventure, discovery and indulging herself in unorthodox pursuits most noble-minded citizens find unbecoming for a lady. APPEARANCE I will definitely fill out a description for her at some point... Aspects That Stand Out: ■ Scent: Ytta wears a sweet floral perfume oil of orange blossoms and irises rubbed onto her wrists, throat and breast. ■ Jewelry: Silvered and priceless, no expense was spared on her decolletege, though the crystalline foci that dangle from her ears, neck and wrists appear to have greater use than mere decoration. A worn family ring upon her left hand is among the most prominent of her pieces for its masculine design. ■ Runes: Her hands, often gloved, are covered in thin runic scarring that seems to serve as the basis for how easily her magic is channeled. This is likely not the only place she is scarred. PERSONALITY A precocious, coquettish woman of little patience with a flair for dramatic indignation, Ytta is most often described as a neurotic debutante by those who mislike her or an intriguing prodigy by those who do. Early aptitude has blessed her with a kind of confidence that can be hard to find, but alongside her lofty expectations and unrelenting ambition has come condescension that could best be pinned as a lady's arrogance tied to the impropriety of a risk taker. Above all things, she values competence, ambition and usefulness - as a socialite and an explorer always looking for the next exciting discovery by delving deep into ancient ruins or prying stories from even the most hardheaded of conversational partners, her capability to appear the charismatic hostess to those with something to offer is unsurprising but almost entirely focused upon personal gain. L I K E S ■ Learning. It speaks for itself - knowledge is the most valuable thing in the known world. She has special interest in history and magic. ■ Beauty. An early interest in artistic pursuits has blossomed into an appreciation for all that is aesthetically pleasing, especially the latest fashions and most popular painters. ■ Ambition. Ytta is ever on the look out for new endeavors to invest in and funds the adventures of many in support of their reach for something ever higher. ■ Gambling. Not everything she does is a calculated risk. She loves watching the chocobo races in the Gold Saucer and owns an expensive stud from a long, proud pedigree. ■ Rich Food. You can't really blame her - being a picky eater is in her upbringing! Her favorites are a sweet red wine and cherry cheesecake. D I S L I K E S ■ Complacency. Never a woman to sit still for too long, she has little sympathy for those with no greater aspiration than to remain as they are. ■ Uncleanliness. Being wet, dirty or otherwise disorderly horrifies her. ■ Overstimulation. Though not easily stressed, Ytta's composure is quick to fall when there is a great deal of unnecessary noise. ■ Oversensitivity. Whether it be to offer constructive criticism or a more ideal perspective, the inability to speak bluntly and to the point without an emotional reaction from others often frustrates her. ■ Cold. As a native of Ul'dah, snowy Ishgard and Coerthas are her worst nightmare. H O B B I E S ■ Gardening. An accomplished botanist, Ytta has documented every known plant on Eorzea and keeps a garden of considerable size. ■ Weaving. She once proclaimed the market never had clothing that flattered her figure in the way she wanted, so she began to sew herself. ■ Monster Husbandry. In very delicate terms, Ytta would describe her interest in Eorzean menaces such as the ahriman and behemoth a matter of scientific interest. ■ Singing. Her voice is sweet and as clear as a bell, though it isn't a talent frequently utilized. ■ Aerial Silks. What started out as an acrobatic way to maintain her fitness has become a practice that brings her peace. S T R E N G T H S ■ Ingenuity. ■ Confidence. ■ Charisma. ■ Curiosity. ■ Honesty. ■ Bravery. ■ Ambition. W E A K N E S S E S ■ Arrogant. ■ Callous. ■ Hedonistic. ■ Impatient. ■ Judgmental. ■ Obsessive. ■ Paranoid. M O T I V A T I O N S ■ Achieving new magical breakthroughs. ■ Discovering what was previously unknown. ■ Profiting from lucrative ventures. ■ Leaving a legacy for her children, as her mother did. ■ Keeping her loved ones safe and fulfilled. ■ Exploring and documenting what the world may offer. RELATIONSHIP STATUS LEGEND ♥ Family – ♥ Involved – ♥ Romantic – ♥ Platonic – ♥ Physical – ♦ Friend – ★ Acquaintance – $ Business – ✝ Deceased – ✔ Positive – ✖ Negative – ● Neutral – � Unsure FAMILY ♥ Ylda Schatten, sister. Character's Thoughts: "There are few and far between who understand me as well as my sister, in truth, and though we fuss like any other pair of siblings I could not wish for a better partner and lifelong friend. There is little in this world we cannot accomplish together - with her at my side, all that lies between us and our most lofty of goals is merely paperwork." Amiable, intimate and compromising, Ytta's relationship with her sister is by and far the closest and the most important to her to maintain. She values Ylda's input, perspective and presence in all of her dealings and frequently partners with her in mutually interesting adventures and excavations that may lead to important discoveries, whether they be personal or profitable. NON-FAMILY ♥ Rhys Faulkner, partner. Character's Thoughts: "My dearest and closest companion aside from my sister - we've spent many lovely nights and even lovelier mornings together. His talent with a blade is unrivaled, despite his claims to mediocrity, and his charm often renders me speechless... Why are you asking me questions about him? Do you know something that I don't?" Though their relationship initially began as a purely physical and fleeting foray, Ytta and Rhys have maintained a positive and beneficial partnership since the day they met in the Gold Saucer. Ytta trusts him implicitly with her secrets, though her faith may be somewhat one-sided.
