Spahro Llorn
Contents
Character
General
Spahro is a trouble maker, and she always has been. never content anywhere, she's prone to wandering. Recently she's taken up residence in Ul'Dah as a reporter for Tonberry's Lantern. She'd gained some notoriety as a scandal reporter, often being accused of turning the prestigious Lantern into nothing more than a cheap tabloid, but no one can argue that she moves paper. Sales are the highest they've been in years with her on the front page.
Appearance
Spahro is of slightly below average height for a Miqo'te with dark grey skin and coal black hair. She's slim, and keeps her hair short and easy to maintain. She tends to dress in boyish fashions, but is known to deck herself out in fancy dresses and skirts when the occasion arises.
Personality
Spahro's personality is a verb rather than a noun. She tends to hit people over the head with it until they're dazed into passivity or driven away. She tends towards the abrasive, punctuating most sentences with either profanity or sarcasm depending on whether or not she's doing her job and how seriously she's taking it at the time.
Combat
Spahro is about as useful in a fight as an elderly marmot, and does her best to avoid them whenever possible. This doesn't mean that she doesn't pick fights, but rather that she runs away once they actually start.

- "I've heard that she makes up half of her stories, just to sell the papers." - A Highlander woman with short black hair
- "The fact that I believed her to be a caring person once upon a time ago, only goes to show the extent of my naivete and foolishness. I know better now." - Roen Deneith
- "She said she caught the Pox from an Ishgardian Dragoon. Worst case the Alchemist Guild has seen in years. I would say she needs to be more careful with her lovers. She also has no idea what storks are for." - Alexaria Whiteraven
- "It is sometimes hard to remember there is a person beneath the garbage she continuously vomits. Typically hardest at the end of the week when the latest Lantern is printed." - Coatleque Crofte

- "She said she owed me something called a royalty? I explained that I am no king's daughter and she dropped it at that." - Duped Bronco Model
- "I am lodging a formal complaint with the Ul'dah chamber of commerce against Spahro for fraudulent public business practices. Her marketing materials for the Bronco Brand contain material misrepresentations intended to mislead consumers. I shall not stop until she is assessed no less than 500,000 gil in civil penalties! ...No, I'm /not/ doing this because she threw a glass of wine at my pressed, fitted shirt the other evening. This is for the good of all honest, reputable consumers." - Sigurd Sundsteigen
