Euridice Palmer
|
[edit]
Euridice Palmer (Pronunciation: you-rid-eh-see) is the niece and daughter of two self-made men in traditional Ul'dah style. Originally Sharlayan scholars, Eadwin and Royce Palmer, along with Royce's wife Lydia, established Palmer's Curiosities, where they appraised and peddled relics and antiques. But when Lydia perished in the Calamity, the pain was too much for Royce to bear, and he followed her to the grave a year later, leaving their only daughter behind.
There is a painting of Lydia Palmer as a young woman in the back room of the shop, and if Dicey stands next to it, the resemblance is uncanny. Both have messy, long blonde hair and blue-grey eyes fringed with long lashes, both are lightly tanned from their time in the desert sun, and both have a body shape that suggests an equal love of physical activity and tea cakes. The biggest difference Dicey's streak of white hair, running from her left temple, all the way down to the tip of her half-hearted braid. She favors comfortable clothes that allow her a range of movement, but is quite aware that she is an attractive woman and also enjoys showing off that part of herself.
There are certain behaviors that are expected of Ul'dah's wealthy young women. Nominally speaking, Dicey does follow these behaviors. She is a well-bred woman and it shows when it needs to. Comfortable navigating high society, she is an expert in etiquette. However, once she's left to her own devices, she's much more likely to be found unwinding with a mug of something frosty and poring over a dusty old tome in a common alehouse. Despite her privilege, she is always one to judge others on their merit rather than their riches, and besides, alehouses are a great place to keep up with latest gossip.
This is a list of the items that Euridice currently is keeping on her person. Feel free to use this information if it comes up logically in the course of RP, such as pickpocketing, a search, etc. Last Updated: 10/13/18
Born in the darkness of winter, Euridice Palmer entered into a world of privilege from the moment she took her first breath. Her parents, Sons of Saint Coinach who sold and appraised antiquities to earn money for their expeditions and ended up quite wealthy, vowed to give her the best education they could afford, but that education started at home. Described as something of a prodigy, she learned to read shortly before she turned three years old, and was scouring her parents' history and magic tomes by the time she was seven. She was sent to school in Sharlayan, but returned to Ul'dah upon completing her formal education. She speaks fondly of her days there, but the desert is always her home. When she wasn't learning abroad, she was rubbing elbows with the moneyed elite and learning to move around in their circles. Several young men attempted to speak for her hand, but every one of them was shot down, usually by the woman herself, who found herself endlessly bored with that sort of life.
It took a few years, but Dicey has found her path in life once more. She's taken up her mother's mantle and, using her incomplete research notes, has been digging in Mor Dhona, uncovering odd Allagan relics of likely nominal importance. She has also begun to do some digs in Thanalan, spurred by her interest in Belah'dian history, particularly around the Temple of Quarn. When she's not digging, she spends most of her time in Ul'dah, helping her uncle Eadwin run the store and appraising the relics that come through the doors.
These are mostly backstory-related relationships.
Listed here are the non-family characters, both PC and NPC, that Euridice has interacted with enough or in such a way for her to form a real opinion about them. Last Update... 10/18/18.
