P E R S O N A L I T Y

"Everybody has opinions: I have them, you have them. And we are all told from the moment we open our eyes, that everyone is entitled to his or her opinion. Well, that’s horsepuckey, of course. We are not entitled to our opinions; we are entitled to our informed opinions. Without research, without background, without understanding, it’s nothing."

Harlan Ellison, Commentary on Sci-Fi Channel's Sci-Fi Buzz

The Architect, INTJ-A. Key words: Relentless intellectualism, decisive imagination, privately ambitious, curiously capable, self-confidence, mysterious, insightful.

Cho employs a sense of perfectionism and pride in her work. She is relentless in her end-goal, often coming across as incredibly distant and overwhelmingly formidable in the pursuit of the results. She demands much of other, almost as much as she demands of herself. Those who are unable to keep up with her often find themselves near permanently losing her respect in them. She always strives to maintain rational with all her work, keeping up a ruthless requirement that the world itself must pass through before consideration. She feels no lost love for the spotlight and finds most small-talk to be a waste of time. She is hard-working and determined, open minded to new ideas and cultures, finding herself as a sort of jack-of-all-trades with most of her careers. With this however, she also comes across as arrogant, judgmental, overly analytical, highly demanding and clueless in social relationships. Defined so strongly by her confidence, logic and decision making - it is very easy to forget that The Good Doctor has emotions buried under the hardened shell. Turbulent and fragile emotions are closely guarded behind the overwhelmingly strong shield of her logic, keeping what she feels is her weak underbelly safe from external prying eyes.

Along with the strong sense of self and comfort in logic, Cho is exceedingly adept at getting what she wants. She is no stranger to manipulation, orchestrating situations to work them to her favor. She often works from the shadows, planting ideas in others heads to encourage along a particular series of events that are carefully prodded and herded into her desired result. Because of her clear separation of sense and sensibility, she is quick to analyze and find what makes a stranger tick. No one is spared from The Good Doctor's ruthless observation - especially those who make attempts to become close to her.

A P P E A R A N C E

Standing at four foot, eleven inches, Cho is near average height for female Auri. Her wispy frame often is bulked up by heavy trench coats and puffy sleeves, perpetually at threat of blowing away with any particularly strong gale. Sickly pale skin, ivory scales, ashen lips, she always looks as though she has spent the last several weeks indoors - or perhaps she has never seen the sun once in her life, despite living outside Ul'Dah. Inky black hair cut in such a blunt manner, cutting across her cheekbones, framing her face in such a harsh manner as to give nothing less than the impression of perfect professionalism. Her face bears no obvious scarring across it.

What is visible of the Doctor shows no scarring at all. Her pale body has been well preserved, not a scale chipped or out of place. Her tail spiked and well groomed. Her aural horns cleaned to perfection. Long thin neck often adorned with nothing more than pressed, starched collars and neckties. Not a firm believer in jewelry, very little is ever found to adorn her. Her hands hold callouses along them from prolonged gun use, however they are very new, signifying recent learning. Her claws are kept short, and shaved down to blunt edges capping elegantly slender fingers. The small details preface a woman who is birthed to money, with handpicked genetics from previous generations. From intelligence down to her very form. Not too short, not too tall for female auri.

Cho is an intellectual, not a warrior, her body is trained for sitting in prolonged positions. She relies on quick, short movements that will not wear her out - something to disable before running away. Akin to a viper coiled under a rock. Comfortable and quiet, bothering no one until someone trips a wire, does something wrong. Her eyes however, are hidden perpetually behind the ever-present red lenses set on her face. Their color is unknown to others. Often spotted sleeping with her sunglasses on her nose, in the event someone may peek in as she is sleeping.

P C

Jakha Kha ( ♠ ♠ ♥ ✔ ) - Mr. Kha
Former bodyguard, Cho arrived in Eorzea with the giant Xaela, seeking work in the new land to send gil back to her family in Othard. Cho bears no lost love for Jakha, however she respects his individualized thought, strong will and ability to manipulate others into getting what he wants. She considers him her intellectual equal and rival, ever at odds based simply on moral grounds.

Barnobus Cereli ( ♦ ✔ ) - Inspector Barnobus, Barny
Partner in crime, fellow inspector, they joined forces when inspecting the murder of a mutual contact. His friendly, gentle demeanor provides a good contrast to Cho's otherwise brash and intense scruples. He earned Cho's respect after providing logical and calm insight into a situation that led to finding out who the murderer was.

Julien Ashenhearth ( ♦ ✔ ) - Mr. Julien, Hunter
An aged hunter that Cho has found a decisive partnership with regarding various anomalies in the surrounding area. He's the 'otherworld' expert Cho goes to when she is in need of advice or introspection.

Tiphane Saintrelmaux ( ♦ ✔ ) - Miss Tiphane
This elezen was a previous leader of the mercenaries Cho doctors. They earned a rapport through their strict business ethics and logical decision making. Cho relies on Tiphane to be a solid voice of reason.

Checheyigen Borlaaq ( ● ) - Miss Borlaaq
One of Jakha's acquaintances, Cho has come in repeated contact with Checheyigen. She bears no strong feelings one way or another, though respect is on the decline after discovering the Xaela's penchant for emotional reaction over logical assumption, finding her susceptible to manipulation.

P C

J'nebra Jaab ( ♦ ✔ ✖ (?) ) - Miss Jenny, Original Jenny, Copycat, Doppleganger
Is she the original or the fake? This name applies for two individuals, J'Nebra, Cho's patient who was murdered and the living J'Nebra, the one at the center of mystery. Theories fly around wildly as to which one really came first. Whether this is a dead girl come back to life, or an eerie series of circumstance, J'Nebra provides a mystery that is begging to be cracked.

Ozeaux Ferrand ( ♥ ● ✔ ) - Doctor Oz, Doctor Ferrand
This eccentric, enigmatic doctor has provided Cho with a series of interesting interactions. Both able to keep up and sometimes surpass Cho in conversation, they share a unique ability to talk frankly about their interests in a purely medical stand-point. His brain is something to be admired - now if only he wasn't Elezen.

Muzai Avagnar ( ● ✔ ) - Miss Muzai, Student, The Most Unfortunate One
Muzai has been on the receiving end of both Jakha's and Cho's societal manipulations. Hunted, captured, held and healed, this poor female xaela has been put in such a position that Cho finds herself pitying the girl. Playing tutor to her, allows Cho to keep a tighter grasp on the situation - and in turn Jakha.

Veere Rolio ( ● ✔ ) - Miss Rolio, The Anomaly
One of Cho's patient and a monkey-wrench in an already convoluted plot of undeath and dopplegangers. Veere suffers from apparent mental instability due, seemingly, in part to prolonged exposure to J'Nebra 2.0. From aetheric infection to mysterious mental instability, this is yet another mystery to crack.

Asra Mayasura ( ● ✔ ) - Cruel Blessings, Mr. Mayasura
This large Xaela provides an unfortunate circumstance with Cho. His volatile nature and sharp words create an uneasy work situation - the threats on her life certainly do not aid in her good will towards this particular patient.
