Appearance
Ivetta Greysteele is a female Highlander Hyur with a tan complexion and well-developed musculature. Her styles of dress differ depending upon the circumstance but she predominantly tends to dress casually when not working or traveling. She alternates between braiding her hair and keeping it down.
Personality
Ivetta gained a strong sense of justice through her early experiences. She believes in doing what is right even when it can cause problems for herself. After the death of her parents, she became colder and distant to everyone but Evenon, whom she felt responsible for. However, after a bit of traveling around and meeting certain individuals, she has become less “frigid” and more open to interactions between strangers. Nowadays, she is prone to being overly dramatic as a way of trying to show more emotion. She appreciates friendly gestures and is happy to hold small conversations. She may come off as apathetic at times, but for the most part it is just her trying to stay level-headed and calm. She spent a good portion of her life angry and she has no plans of ever returning to that mindset as long as she can help it.
History
Born in the martial city-state of Ala Mhigo in the mountainous region of Gyr Abania, Ivetta greatly enjoyed the freedom of exploring the surrounding areas. She had a relatively normal childhood full of exploration and adventuring with other children her own age until the civil unrest began.
Being the eldest child of the Greysteele family, Ivetta was expected to carry on her family's legacy of smithing. However, the quickly escalating violence in Ala Mhigo prevented her from learning the craft with her father. Shortly after Theodorac proclaimed himself divine ruler of Ala Mhigo and the violence turned into public beheadings, Ivetta and her younger brother Evenon were taken in by their uncle whom would take the two to La Noscea by ship and ultimately the city-state of Limsa Lominsa, where she would spend the the next two decades of her life.
Life in Limsa Lominsa was not particularly easy for the two Highlanders, but Ivetta and Evenon managed it well enough under the circumstances. They started to train their smithing and would update their parents on their progress (and Evenon's lack of progress) with lengthy missives that their uncle would read aloud to them. As time went on and the months turned into years, the correspondences became few and far between until eventually, they no longer received anyway. Not long after, news of the ending reign of the 'King of Ruin' and the fall of Ala Mhigo with Garlean occupation made its way across the different city-states.
The years leading up to the Calamity were rough on both Ivetta and Evenon. While Ivetta hung around a few too many unsavory types, she learned to hold her own in a fight and even actively sought out fights with pirates until it endangered her brother. She hung her axe in favor of a lance after continual visits to Gridania with her uncle. After one particular incident, Ivetta joined The Maelstrom once she was old enough. Then the Calamity came and went, and with it, Ivetta's resignation from the Grand Company.
Family History
- Elisif Steelspear (Mother; deceased)
- Giltbert Greysteele (Father; deceased)
- Gerulf Greyedge (Uncle; brother of Giltbert; disappeared after the Calamity; whereabouts unknown)
- Alana Asheyes (Aunt; wife of Gerulf; deceased)
- Evenon Greysteele (Younger Brother; Can be found in Limsa Lominsa)
Her mother and father were both known for being blacksmiths in Ala Mhigo. In their younger years, her mother served in Ala Mhigo's Legion of Lancers while her father was an officer within the city-state's army. It's where they both met. Years later, they would marry and leave their city-state's service only to end up forging their weapons. Giltbert would take over his father's forge although the two would predominantly work in their private estate's forge.
