Physical Appearance and First Impressions
Ranya is quite tall for a midlander woman and possesses a fair complexion, deep red hair and various combat scars. Her most noticeable feature are her eyes, the pale grey irises often described as intense, hard and sharp like blades. Her posture rarely wavers and she maintains a straight, almost militaristic stance, even when at rest. Toned and well-maintained, it is clear by the way she carries herself that Ranya has been trained in combat and keeps herself battle-ready.
History
Ranya is the first born child to Wesley and Celeste of House Vexile in Limsa Lominsa. Followed quickly by her sister Rinette, Ranya was raised to be the successor of House Vexile and thus started her studies at a very young age. While the strong focus on her education built her into a highly intelligent child, Ranya quickly developed a ‘no-nonsense’ personality and spent little time engaging in child-like activities. To that end, many found her social interactions to be a bit too abrasive for their tastes.
Wesley grew concerned for his child’s lack of interaction with others and opted to expand her training to other fields of knowledge, ultimately leading to her training in combat. The eldest Vexile child blossomed under the tutelage of her father and his guardsman, quickly taking up the blade, the lance, and eventually learning to combine her efforts while riding. Ranya began to accompany the house guardsman on their patrols between her more traditional studies in the estate library. In her free moments, she would spend time in the stables, working alongside the chocobo handlers. Her interest in such things grew so much that Wesley and Celeste gifted their daughter with her own young Chocobo. Ranya bonded with the bird rather quickly, naming him Legion.
When the Calamity struck, Wesley quickly offered the assistance of his house to Limsa Lominsa to defend the citizens. Shortly after her father and his leading men left for the battle grounds, Ranya quickly followed with her own small squadron, despite the pleas of her mother and younger sister to stay at the estate. The fighting was intense and long-lasting; Ranya unfortunately was near one of the more violent fronts in the shroud when the flaming aether remnants crashed from the sky. Caught in one of the blasts, Ranya was thrown from her mount and blacked out from her injuries.
When Ranya awoke, she was alone in a bed, receiving treatment from volunteering healers searching for survivors. Soon after her awakening, she received word that her father, who had been fighting where the combat was thickest, had not survived the battle. Disraught at the death of her father, Ranya sought to travel home to check on her mother and sister at the estate. But travel in the wake of the Calamity was rough and her trusted mount and friend had not been found when she was discovered on the battlefield. Between having a lack of supplies and maneuvering the recovering lands, it took far longer than the eldest Vexile daughter had intended. When she finally reached her home, she was greeted only with the corpse of the estate’s former glory and the ghosts of her family name.
Ranya has taken on many forms of humble work, using her education and talents to do what she can to make a living for herself in the wake of her loss. She still carries much loyalty to her family name, as barren and hollow as the legacy is at the moment. The last of the Vexile name is often found tending to chocobos in the city stables or people watching from a quiet spot.
