Preferences
Likes
BOOKS. Seriously, she loves her small library. Her entire personal collection consists of fantasy and fiction as she hes been enamored with the genre since she was a small child. She loves non-fiction as well, though she prefers to keep those where they belong - available to the public for all to read.
ASTROLOGY. An odd hobby for a learned scholar, for sure, but it's just one of her many passions. She finds solace and guidance in the stars and planetary movements.
THE SEA. She may not be born of Limsa Lominsa, but her entire childhood was spent near the roiling seas. The scent of salt air and call of gulls are like a siren song, ever drawing her back to Llymlaen's embrace.
Dislikes
IGNORANCE. Or rather, willful ignorance. Everyone has the capacity for learning and understanding. Those who choose to remain ignorant when offered knowledge grate on her nerves.
MOCKERY. Of herself, of her arts, it doesn't matter. She has a hard time not getting riled up over it.
CELERY. It just tastes gross, okay?
Hobbies & Skills
SINGING. As well as all manner of musical arts. First, the shanties she learned by lurking around the docks as a child and later more refined songs learned from minstrels and bards drifting through Limsa.
SKETCHING. She's no master at it, but she likes to adorn her research notes and tome with hand drawn illustrations to accompany her notes.
COMBAT. As a true scholar of various paths, she has varying skills spanning the arcane and physical. Summoning is her primary love, but she has a great love for the bow and healing arts as well. Sword, spear, and axe... she's wielded them all.

History
Information found in this section will not be known to your character unless Keziah herself speaks of it.
Disclaimer: This section will be heavily edited and updated as her story continues.
Sixth Astral Era
Childhood
She grew up in Limsa Lominsa under the care of her adoptive roegadyn mother, Blanwyda. Keziah's birth mother was an Ishgardian refugee seeking asylum from the Holy See and one of the Houses that sought to silence her for the scandal of carrying their bastard's progeny in her belly. Branded a traitor as a cover up and with a mark of death on her life, she fled and soon after gave birth to her only daugher, whom she named [REDACTED]. Eselle Lothaire passed away from illness shortly after arriving on Vylbrand, orphaning her daughter and taking her secrets with her to her grave.


Keziah's childhood was happy despite not having many friends her age, most of the Hyur and Roegadyn children marking the young Elezen for bullying because of her differing appearance. She preferred to spend her time amongst the scholars and tacticians of the Arcanist's guild which instilled within her a passion for tomes and lore and the arcane arts. She dedicated her childhood to learning and later to summoning.

Seventh Umbral Era
Adulthood
Following the devastating impact of the Calamity, Keziah found herself alone as the aging Blanwyda had been killed in Bahamut's fiery barrage on Limsa Lominsa. She found herself desperate to branch out and see more of the world, seeking out the other major city states to learn what she could, including other modes of combat. She spent equal time in Gridania and Ul'dah before venturing into Coerthas and Ishgard despite the uneasiness she felt in the cold stone city. Her time was far briefer in the stone fortress among her own race though she stuck close by in the budding Idyllshire and it's veritable wellspring of aetheric activity and Sharlayan knowledge just waiting to be uncovered.

In Recent Times
As wars have broken out and ended in far distant Othard and the much closer Gyr Abania, Keziah's attentions have been drawn to these now accessible regions. Falling in love with the foreign culture and beauty of Othard, she purchased a small home in the Shirogane district in which she conducts much of her research and relaxation. She took up tome and scroll restoration as a way to support herself, planning to translate as many tomes as possible to and from Hingashi to common Eorzean to help spread knowledge and understanding across the world. It didn't take long for her love of knowledge to outstrip her ability to gather the information she craved. What started as simple bartering turned into a lucrative trade business an thus was born the Sleeping Siren.


That's not to say she stays cloistered in her library with her nose in a book! She still ventures to all accessible regions of the world, "to keep the mind fresh and open," she claims. She takes an active part in her business, often leading expeditions to uncover treasures to sell or keep. Where she once would have worked as a freelance healer or sellsword to support herself, the trade her company does ensures that she only does so now as a hobby, though she only takes small and simple jobs that don't conflict with her personal morals (and doesn't outreach her meager abilities). Recently, business has been poor, however, with nearly every delivery having been raided and her once numerous clients taking their business elsewhere.

NPC
Eselle Lothaire, mother. ()
Character's Thoughts: " I wish I could have known you..."
Eselle died when Keziah was very young, but memories of the woman are fond and full of warmth. Eselle would have been proud of her daughter, had she lived to see her grown.
Blanwyda, adoptive mother. ()
Character's Thoughts: " I miss you so much, mother..."
Blanwyda, the kind Roegadyn arcanist who took in the orphaned Keziah when she was just a child, died in the Calamity. Keziah has never forgiven herself for not being at her side and blames herself for not being there to help evacuate the city.

IC Inventory
The following items are things that this individual carries on their person at all times. These are noted for pickpockets, and those watching her closely. This information is meant to be a prompt for insight and is not to be meta-gamed, though feel free to use this information if it comes up logically in RP (pickpocketing, a search, etc) with use of a simple /tell.

RP Limits
I like to consider myself a flexible player who is willing to commit to a number of different types of scenes and role-play scenarios, but even I have my limits. If something is on the play list, assume it means yes, as long as it's within the context of the current play or ongoing plot. No's are typically a hard no, and it means don't ask.
I will play all RP themes from dark, serious and mature (violence, sexuality, torture, murder, conflict, drug / alcohol use) to the more light-hearted, humorous and simplistic, as long as it makes sense in the course of the RP. Plots that range from long-term to one-shots, elaborate and large-scale to minor and frivolous. Serious injury. Temporary injury and incapacitation. Temporary captivity or imprisonment. Combat, ambushes, assassination attempts, rivalries, friendships, romantic or sexual tension, coarse language and morally unclear subjects are all welcomed.
Ask about mutilation, permanent scarring or symbolic markings, long-term and/or permanent injury and disfigurement. Long-term captivity or imprisonment. Temporary character death. Significant mental tampering or programming. Anything dramatically character-changing or that might render her unplayable for a prolonged period of time.
I won't play permanent character death. Permanent maiming or any crippling that prevents her from functioning independently. Random sex that occurs outside of organic interactions. Rape, or kidnap plots, as well as any sexual forms of torture. Rape/Non-consensual anything, really, though attempts 'might' be fine if discussed first. Maybe. A very hard maybe.
RP Hooks
While the below is by no means comprehensive, it's a kind of spring board for walk-up RP. Longer plots that are meant to run for more than a few quick RP's, please feel free to send me a tell so we can work out a good reason for our characters to get to know one another. I'm always looking for RP, unless I'm actively spamming PvE content.
■ She spends a large amount of time in the taverns around the world, typically The Quicksand or The Drowning Wench and the others to lesser extent. While there, she's usually standing/sitting off to the side with her tome and just listening and observing the room.
■ Often, while sitting idly in public, she will draw her deck of astrologian's cards and study them. She 'might' perform a reading if asked.
■ Her ruby carbuncle is often at her side. It is a usually well-mannered creature, though it has been known to cause mischief especially in the presence of other carbuncles. It loves to be doted upon and often acts like an odd mix of cat and dog, rendering it's reactions hard to predict at times. It has been known to nip at strangers it feels are untrustworthy.
■ When out in the field, her chocobo as always at her side. He is far less trusting of strangers, particularly men, and will likely fluff and cause a fuss if anyone draws too near his mistress.
■ Being a descendant of two well known Ishgardian families, one noble and one less so, she does strike an uncanny resemblance to a few current Ishgardian residents. She chalks this up to coincidence and a possible long past convergence of their lineages.

Player Note
There is a lot of information on this character wiki, but it is by no means completely comprehensive. There are chunks of backstory that are left intentionally vague so that details can be later added as developed through creative writing or in role-play revelation. Feel free to use Common or Uncommon rumors freely, if you want to use a Rare Rumor as a plot hook or to spark RP, I would ask that you send me a tell first, to make certain it's alright.
