Meallaire Sergenaux is a mixed heritage Elezen who originally hails from the Twelveswood, but departed for Othard during her sixteenth summer. She spent most of her life in foreign lands, and while Eorzea is where she is found most often, it is rarely what she considers to be her home.
She spends most of her time traveling Aldenard, learning about it's history and hidden secrets. This has often included delving into Allagan, Amdapori, and other ruins dotted about the Eorzean landscape. Both she and her husband Jeulerant are adventurous, and travel wherever whim tends to take them.
She serves as a Combat Medic with the Maelstrom but has recently returned overseas to Othard, the land she considers her home.
- At six fulms six ilms, and almost 250 ponze, Meallaire cuts a tall and somewhat imposing figure. Rather than the usual, somewhat more slender Elezen build, she’s a mix of curve and muscle, with more of a strongwoman build. Her hair is naturally white, but is sporadically dyed either blonde or black, and is regularly trimmed, allowed to grow, or kept somewhere between. She appears mature, but not old, looking to be somewhere in her mid to late thirties. This youthful appearance is somewhat superficial, her appearance maintained through the use of alchemy, conjury, and a strict physical regimen. She bears a single scar on her face, stretching up over her left eye and ending in the middle of her cheek. She has numerous smaller scars dotting her body.
- Scars & Markings: She has several smaller scars that dot her body here and there, mostly superficial ones, but her two most prominent scars are at the curve of her lower back, where she was branded when she was younger, and subsequently tattooed over, and the scar that runs over her left eye. At times she will cover the facial scar with makeup, usually when she wants to blend in with a crowd.
- Voice: Smoky, warm and lilting, Mea's voice is exactly what one might expect from a grown woman, with the mannerisms to match. She speaks with a very even tone, rarely raising her voice even when angry, or highly emotional. Her accent is difficult to place, a cultured voice with a mostly indiscernible mixture of tones and words gained from her years of travel across the world. Her singing voice is similarly warm and can stretch modestly high or low, though it has a huskier edge to it.
- Clothing: She does her best to wear clothing that is in excellent shape, but her attire is as varied as anything else about her might be. When in combat with a sword she prefers a mixture of leather and plate, when utilizing her martial arts she prefers flexible leather armor that doesn't inhibit her movements, and when working spells she prefers robing with pockets and pouches to carry all of the components and other miscellaneous items she might need during the course of her work.
As a child she was a very quiet and studious intellectual who mostly kept to herself, the primary company in her life her father, aunt and the voices of the Elementals. Age has turned her serious, though she maintains an open-mind within certain subjects. She's an eager student to anything she hasn't yet learned, taking in knowledge about people, magic, combat, tradeskills, and ancient history with an ease that explains her varied skill-set.
A lifetime littered with loss and sorrow has left its mark on her, with several of her children buried in the ground, and so she can be quite somber at times. When her family is involved, she's a very dedicated and affectionate individual, albeit also very protective, sometimes to the point of sheltering her loved ones. Though it takes quite a bit to rouse her to action, when she gets going, she's a very hot-blooded woman who has a cynical streak a mile long, and a sharp tongue to go along with it.
Meallaire has strong opinions and views, and her philosophical outlook tends to be just as strongly opinionated. As a woman who lives an open and relatively free lifestyle with her husband, she understands that free will and choice are extremely important in life, but just as important is maintaining that free will for others. Her age has given her a unique perspective on life and the way many people live it. Many consider themselves good or evil, but she knows that life can't be quantified down into black or white like that. There are too many variations, and reasons for everything.

- ■ "We see her a lot down in the Brume. Blankets n' bread, warm words n' healing. Don't seem to mind getting dirty in a dustup when someone says a foul word to her neither. Always just patches 'em up afterward n' goes back about her business." — Brume Rat.
- ■ "She bows as if it is natural to her. Not the stuttering, informal bow of the Ijin. It was good to see someone who so upholds the tradition of respect." — Kugane Merchant.
- ■ "I used to see her visiting the Lifemend Stump. Same day and bell every week, always carrying a flower. Then suddenly she just stopped, haven't seen her in a few weeks. Not certain what the story there was, and I never thought to ask." — Wood Wailer.
- ■ "Went by her house one morning to ask a question, the whole thing had been boarded up like she'd never lived there. Rumor has it she went 'home'. Somethin' bout Othard." — Concerned Patron.
- ■ "Sometimes two souls love each other to a point that they lack an adequate way to express it. It becomes easier to express any number of other emotions instead. I see that, when I look at Meallaire and Jeulerant." — Argenia Silverwing.
- ■ "Just because I know a little magic doesn't mean I'm the one you should watch out for. Everyone worries about me, but she's the scary one. I do so love that about her." — Jeulerant Sergenaux.
- ■ "If you want to know about my mother, you should ask her." — Vaelenant Sergenaux.
- ■ "Oh... yeah, she came to our wedding. I can't really say I know them that well. Er, no, I don't rightly know why they were there. But! Anyroad. She seemed well enough, a bit unusual and mysterious, but kind and pleasant in the way you'd expect of someone who holds herself with that kind of poise." — J'karu Rhome.
- ■ "She's terrifying, and she eats demon salads." — Abelaire Cygnnoire.
A simple knife affixed to Mea's belt in most of her traveling outfits, a general all-purpose blade..
This larger leather satchel is soft from wear but also from the obvious care given it by its owner.
Mixed Teas - Among these are three blends, wrapped in a sectioned scroll case meant to keep the flavors from mingling.
A quill made from a crow's feather, and tipped with a silver end, the feather has been alchemically preserved to remain pristine.
These rations are wrapped tightly and tied off in parchment paper, meant for longer journeys.
This vial contains a liquid of unknown origin, which she often adds to any drinks she's having in any public locale.
A module salvaged from Allagan ruins and utilized to record information. Serves as a control module for A.N.A.
These satchels are coded by color, and Meallaire can usually tell which bag is which in a hurry and without sight.
Various alchemical concoctions, mostly in smaller vials meant to supplement Meallaire's healing as needed..
A small assortment of candies, most of these are coated in chocolate, and kept cool with an ice crystal to prevent melting.
A.N.A is a small Allagan node that was repurposed into an accompaniment node and is capable of complex functions.

Meallaire is an adult and has done and endured a lot during her long life. There are very few things she shies away from when it comes to interaction - she'll approach a fight or a cup of tea with equal gusto, and she's not afraid to get her hands dirty, in either the figurative or literal sense. Some topics are listed as unacceptable, and that means it takes major plot points to be permissible.

Meallaire has done and seen a lot in her history. While the below is by no means comprehensive, it's a kind of spring board for walk-up RP. If you want to drag Mea into an existing plot, feel free to send a tell. Unless spamming PvE content, Mea is always interested in meeting new people and expanding her list of contacts.

Player Note
First, thanks for taking the time to read my wiki! I'm the voice of reason and terrible creative mind behind Meallaire. I've been RPing for over half my life, and love the hobby. That said, I do have a few extra things to note. First and foremost is that I know Meallaire is opinionated and has some pretty extreme viewpoints, but that's not necessarily reflective of me as a person. I always expect and try myself to maintain a clear IC / OOC division in RP. Meallaire's feelings and my feelings are separate. I prefer clear lines of communication with whomever I'm RPing with, and those I'm RPing with should always feel free to send a /tell to clear up any questions. Character Lore Adherence
