General | The word delicate readily embodies Sparrow. Her clothing choices are comprised of light and airy articles, their colors of pastel or muted hues. Her tail is plush and regularly—if not even overmuch—groomed. A gentle, upward curve of painted lips perpetually alight a visage of fair, carefully made-up features. Twinkling blue eyes never look upon others harshly, but rather with affection, as one would regard an old friend.

Scars and Markings | Pale curved markings on either sides of her face bespeaking of her Keeper heritage. There’s a garish, though faded, scar scoring the side of her left calf. Should a glimpse of it be caught and subsequently mentioned, she will lightly dismiss the subject.

Mannerisms | Bright laughter and animated gestures are two major components in the whole of her personality. Never does Sparrow desire harm unto others, and she does all that she can to bring light into conversation. She's a dreamy creature, though, with her head often lost in the clouds and her eyes looking but seeing something else far away. It's a little hard to bring her back to present sometimes.

Clothing and Accessories | Sparrow travels often and thus prizes comfort above all else. Her wardrobe is typically composed of loose, plain clothing. Slippers and sandals are her favorite for footwear, though they are occasionally discarded in favor of traveling barefoot on the sands near her Mist home. A myriad of rings of varying shapes and sizes decorate each pale finger of her hands, though she is never seen without one particular sapphire-topped band of bronze.

Perhaps... You've seen her wandering the side of the road, in some obscure part of coastal Vylbrand. Or maybe, was she the woman operating a merchant's stall in the Sapphire Avenue Exchange? Memory is a fickle thing—doubly so for Sparrow. If you've spoken to her... maybe you've noticed she isn't quite all there. Those blue eyes, they glimmer with vivacity. But even then, they'll drift to gaze at distant horizons—horizons of which only she can seem to see...

Possibilities for Involvement with Sparrow

Avenues of Business
Sparrow and Yasu are commonly sighted in Ul'dah and Limsa Lominsa attempting to hawk their wares among the myriad of others doing the same. Pleasant conversation is Sparrow's specialty, while Yasu tends to speak so peculiarly, it's difficult to keep up with her. Both are experienced creatures, though, and by the time one has purchased something, they may not be sure what they even just bought!
While Sparrow's primary occupation is selling potions, salves, and concoctions crafted by herself and Yasu, she has another: scrying. It's a quieter service she offers, and its advertisement is spread only by the word of mouth from previous customers. With a queer glass orb filled entirely of water in hand, she peers into it to observe time itself. ...Some customers think the service is a sham, and Sparrow has no comment on that.

The Kingfisher
While Sparrow has taken to the life of a nomad of sorts, her brother, with a penchant for sticking his nose where it doesn't belong, has walked a different path in life. Smuggling illicit substances across Eorzea, collaborating with pirates in Limsa Lominsa on various odd jobs, and participating in general mayhem and thievery are the main highlights of her dear brother. She admits to having aided in him in escaping the authorities and even assisting in some of his tasks.

Wanderer
The world is an inexhaustible place full of wonder and allure and hardship and things, and Sparrow wants to see it all. One may catch her beside an empty stretch road, lost in thought as she attempts to determine her next step, or dozing in a field awash in the evening sun's colors, sleepily watching the darkening skyline.

The Shoqa
Other Keeper of the Moon clans whisper of the isolated Shoqa clan, their words shivering with trepidation and, sometimes, disdain. But a common knowledge is shared among the majority of them: visit the Shoqa should one have the need to deal with otherworldly matters. Their methods may be considered unconventional but few can argue that those methods do not work. Their specialties range from purging malevolent spirits plaguing encampments, communing with those beyond the veil, and peering into one's future via scrying. As one may think, a considerable price is attached to such services...
Sparrow has long since been separated from her clan, but the Keeper is educated on the knowledge and methods her clan shares. She can perform the very same rites her mother, the clan's matron, is able to but would she? It's difficult to get Sparrow to speak of anything pertaining to her clan.
