[edit]
Nefzen Zhwan is a young Keeper of the Moon Miqo'te who is originally from the South Shroud but is now currently based out of Limsa Lominsa. Her propensity for trouble and daggers attracted the attention of the secretive Rogues Guild. Nefzen now is training with them to increase her skills in both close quarters blade fighting and stealth, but only between jobs she has been undertaking for them. More publicly, Nefzen is known to be a frequent seller of fish and shiny stones in the Limsa markets and an even more frequent patron of every bar and tavern in Eorzea.
Nefzen’s short, slight build lends itself perfectly to her quick, dexterous movements. While she is closer to 25 years old, her build and mannerisms lead many to mistake her for younger. She has gray toned skin with dark red hair and silver eyes. She has an old, faint scar going from just above her let eyebrow, across the bridge of her nose, to just under to right eye. Her right ear has a cuff on it and both of her ears are pierced for earrings. Her traditional Keeper Facepaint is a dark slash across her eyes. A dark water droplet birthmark adorns the center of her forehead (in honor of Nymeia's water aspect), though she usually wears a headband over it. She favors wearing fingerless gloves or fighter wraps but when her hands are bare they show scarring all across her knuckles from years of fist fighting. The rare occasions where she takes her shirt off shows a handful of faint lines along her arms from healed cuts from defensive wounds she's collected since joining the Rogues. Her clothing varies, but lately Nefzen has taken to wearing a red button down shirt that stays permanently open to her navel, yet manages to look less 'sexy' and more 'sloppy'. Under this she wears a black halter top that leaves her back tattoo exposed when her overshirt is off. Her pants and boots are typically black and utilitarian. On her back is a large tattoo going from the tops of her shoulders to the small of her back. It shows a pair of tailoring shears with the blades styled to look like the Adamantite Knives Nef fights with. Behind the shears is an image of Nymeia's Spinning Wheel, a red thread coming off of it to entangle between the blades and be cut.
Boisterious. Hot Tempered. Hunter. Unlike the typical Keeper, Nefzen is quite open and expressive, tending on the boisterous side. Her usual expression consists of a grin with a hint of mischievousness. While most of the time she is loud and outspoken, she has shown the ability to be extremely patient, sometimes waiting silently and near motionless for hours to surprise attack her prey (usually her youngest brother Erah'sae). Nefzen -loves- to drink. Her tolerance is almost supernatural and she is on a mission to visit every ‘watering hole’ in Eorzea. (By far her current favorite is The Drunken Moogle who carry mugs the size of her head!)
This is a list of the items that Nefzen currently is keeping on THEIR person. Feel free to use this information if it comes up logically in the course of RP, such as pickpocketing, a search, etc.
Nefzen's combat specialty is ambushing with dual daggers. She's an excellent tracker and was apart of her clan's hunting party from a rather young age. After arriving in Limsa Lominsa around All Saints Wake (2015) she was brought into the Rogues Guild who saw her potential and decided to help improve her skills. Since then she's been a rookie member, doing odd jobs for them from time to time.
Here is a list of recent and/or notable fights, roleplay scenes, etc. that Nefzen has been a part of. This list is by no means all inclusive, and serves more as a general reference as to what she has been up to.
The Zhwan clan is located off the beaten path in the South Shroud, not too far from Quarrymill. Not too much is known about this particular clan as it is rather insular. Little is known about Nefzen's childhood other than that she is the second daughter and has four brothers.
During the All Saints Wake (2015) Nefzen finally left home. Her excuse was that her brother had be sent to 'watch over' their older sister who had left home some time before. Slipping aboard the wrong airship leaving Gridania, Nefzen ended up in Limsa Lominsa instead of Ul'dah where her brother was actually heading. There she wandered around for some time, awed by the vast difference the watery city was compared to the forest she had called home her whole life. Eventually she made her way into the Drowning Wench. Probably for the first time in her life, Nef felt at home. She and the sailors drunk and caroused into the wee hours of the morning. Days passed as Nefzen continued to look for her brother and simply enjoy exploring the city. After intervening in the defense of a dockworker her antics brought her to the attention of the Rogues Guild. They brought her into the fold and offered to help her hone her skills as well as teach her new ones. In return she helped them as a rookie member. So far her specialty is tracking down people or objects. She's gotten so good at it that she's started taking on a few side jobs of her own. In time Nefzen made her way to Ul'dah and tracked down her brother and sister both. Each now mostly go their separate way, though Nefzen stays in contact with Erah'sae more if only to protect him. Nowadays Nef is having fun roaming all over Eorzea, stopping at every tavern she can find. Her current favorite is the Drunken Moogle.
These are mostly backstory-related relationships.
Listed here are the non-family characters, both PC and NPC, that Nefzen has interacted with enough or in such a way for her to form a real opinion about them. Please don't take personal offense if your character isn't listed here, or how the interaction or relationship is described. It isn't that I dislike your character or our RP. I just tend to only add these as necessary for those who make a real impact on Nefzen, and descriptions are purely based upon in character experiences and opinions! * An asterisks denotes that Nefzen doesn't know the individual's true name.

Feel free to use these hooks to start RP with Nef or bring her into any plot you are working on. Everyone is welcome to send me ingame tells or contact me out of game at any time. I rarely start plots of my own but I love to assist with other's stories.
I've been MMO RPing for close to 10 years now. Have quite a few IRL responsibilities that will, sometimes suddenly, require my attention.
Overall, I'm pretty chill as far as guidelines go. I don't have an extensive list of 'Do's or 'Don't's or things that I personally find triggering. So chances are, you won't offend me or make me uncomfortable unless you're trying to or just being really skeevy in general. Still, for the sake of making sure everyone's on the same page here, let me make a few mentions in particular:
