Personality

Behaviour

Raeth is a quiet individual, often opting to listen instead of speak when presented with a group conversation. On the off-chance that he contributes, he often displays a gruff, somewhat antisocial tone of voice, though what few words he offers are meaningful. Due to his somewhat ineloquent speech, he usually (somewhat reluctantly) relies on Celeste Xura to speak on his behalf.

Combat

Although Raeth's weapon of choice is a greatsword of some description, he is not above dropping his heavier stance and fighting tooth and claw to ensure victory. Despite this, however, the Au Ra is usually seen armoured, his role in combat being to take control of the situation and protect his allies. He relies heavily on said allies to take advantage of this and quickly dispatch their foes whilst he has their attention.

Companions

• Celeste Xura - Raeth's superior, in a sense. He was originally wary of her presence to say the least - Stubborn, rebellious, and outright antisocial. However, over time - and with much patience on her part - she earned his respect and he accepted her as a leader, but now also considers her a friend. He was initially skeptical of Celeste's tendency to finish his sentences for him - and although he does not believe that mind reading is possible, he can't help but feel somewhat grateful when she puts into words what he cannot.

• Milo Xura - Raeth's younger brother, who is also the runt of his family. Raeth holds his brother in high regard, claiming that he "Is not strong - But smart. Very smart." He took him away from their tribe following his assignment to Celeste, due to a fear that Milo would have been further mistreated while he was away. Raeth is quite protective of his brother, and while he will rarely voice his concerns - He keeps a watchful eye over Milo...And anyone that attempts to approach him.

• Sully Xura - A talented chef and one of the few tribe members that, although wary of him at first, earned Raeth's trust. He views her stuttering and fear of men as somewhat of a hinderance, however due to her similarities with Milo he is also somewhat protective, almost treating her like a sister instead.

• Elder Kroin - The elusive leader of the Xura clan. Raeth doesn't seem to speak particularly highly of the man and on the outside doesn't seem to have much respect for him, but is usually happy to do what the Elder wishes...Most of the time.

• Luvshan Xura - A fellow clan member who occasionally encounters Raeth's group during his travels. To say Raeth dislikes the man would be an understatement, and they often butt horns - verbally, and occasionally physically - over some of the smallest issues.

• Saran Xura - Another fellow Xura and Sully's cousin. He refers to her as "Tall Sully", "Blue Sully", or "Not Sully". He doesn't seem to dislike her, though.

• Lhei Amariyo - "Small pink thing". Raeth seems fond of the miqo'te, however, most likely because she seems to get along with Milo.

• Walking Oak - This one is taller than Raeth and he disapproves, but he seems to get along with her - More specifically, Oak remains so lighthearted in the face of Raeth's overwhelming grump that he can't not get along with her. Guided him back to Ul'dah once, but he'll never admit it.

• Nirime Sionis - A highlander Raeth met at the same time as Oak. He doesn't seem to appreciate her teasing but he doesn't find her company irritating either. She also guided him back to Ul'dah, but he'll never admit it.

• Otte Dreamwalker - A 'tiny, angry thing' that Raeth met whilst delving into some ruins. He finds the miqo'te irritating and a little threatening, like a tiny Luvshan, and this displeases him.

Hobbies and Talents: Raeth has a certain talent for swordsmithing, and he focused most of his efforts into learning that outside of combat. He doesn't like to admit it but he also enjoys sewing.
