A P P E A R A N C E
Sukina is a slender, athletic woman, fit from her travels and battles around Eorzea. She possesses mismatched eyes, one green and one blue. Her hair is naturally a light brown, but is often dyed black. She often adds a spot of red streaks in honor of her former mentor. She prefers to dress comfortably in social settings and wears only light armor when in combat. She stands with confidence and pride, often carrying a sense of lightheartedness with her. She is almost always seen with a weapon at her side, even in social situations.
B E H A V I O R
Sukina is friendly with most people she encounters. She wants people around her to enjoy themselves and will go out of her way to uplift the spirits of others. She is fiercely protective of those she considers friends and will jump to their defense at a moments notice, even if she is certain they can handle themselves. Sukina possesses a mischievous side that surfaces from time to time, but she prefers if those she pranks will laugh with her and avoids anything she considers to be mean spirited. She is highly sentimental and will keep all gifts given to her even if they have become impractical.
On the other side, Sukina is stubborn to fault. While this can serve as an advantage in some situations, it can also drive others to be frustrated with her. She will be quick to blame herself when problems arise, regardless of how responsible she was for them. She is also a terrible liar and relatively easy to read. Another common problem is a complete disrespect for her own limitations. She will commonly try to tackle problems she isn't equipped for and will push herself to her absolute limit before her body throws in the towel for her.
Since his disappearance, Sukina has taken to the mannerisms of her former teacher. She speaks in his accent, uses some of his phrases, and will wear clothing similar to what he wore in some instances. Those familiar with a Limsan accent might be able to tell that what she speaks is an imitation, and not natural. These mannerisms have become a coping method, helping her remain confident and courageous as the leader position of the Tomial Order fell into her lap. She will drop these mannerisms when she feels no need to put up a front or her morale has fallen. Mannerisms or not, Sukina demeanor will shift greatly in dangerous situations, often paying respect to the amount of danger she or her allies are in. She does not hesitate in making her decisions and tries to do the best she can to see her allies through to safety.

Sukina is an accomplished combatant with a wide skillset at her disposal. She is most talented with blades and daggers, capable of wielding them alone or dual wielding. The manner of combat she employs is referred to as Scarlet Wing, learned from Sabathius Kath'lani. It is an agility focused combat style that relies on striking the joints of an opponent to weaken them, building an advantage until the opponent is defeated. Her bladework is also very precise and she can slice small targets with relative consistency. She also works in her martial arts training with her swordplay, often adding kicks and punches to her assaults.
Sukina's aetherical abilities are practiced, though she lacks the same mastery found in her swordplay. While she doesn't learn the magical as fast as the physical, she has refined her Conjury enough to use it in the heat of battle, even with her blades. She will often use her Conjury to create openings since her magic lacks the raw power to inflict lots of damage.
Sukina's fitness make her more durable than the average hyur, but she is not tough enough to reliably take hits, preferring to evade them. Her willpower will often keep her in the fight when the going gets tough, but her body does have limits and will give out eventually. Sukina is at home in a fight and does enjoy a good spar.

Moderate Rumors (Moderately difficult to overhear)
- "She's a busy one. I see her talking on some linkpearl every now and then. Then she runs off."
- "Not sure what that one's problem is. See her walk through here all cut up from time to time. You'd think she'd be more careful after awhile."
- "She's fancy with a blade that's for certain. I think some of those spins and twirls were unnecessary, but she got the job done all the same."
Rare Rumors (Very difficult or rarely overheard)
- "That accent of hers is fake! Heard her drop it after she turned this corner. Probably some kind con artist."
- "Nature moves around her when she fights, like she was using conjury while swinging her blades!"
- "Could've sworn I caught a glimmer of white coming from her eyes. Don't know what it was about."
PC Rumors (Rumors from the character's of other players)
- "Watching her fight is fun. If I was a promoter for the Bloodsands? I'd try and bring her in in heartbeat. But I'm not." -Anonymous pink-haired Hyur
- "She is very kind, and always willing to learn new things. It is a pleasure working with her." -Citlali Althaea
- "Jeez... where do I even start with Sukina? She's one of the kindest and most kick-ass people I know. Wow, lemme tell ya, there was this one there where she sprang up into the air and spun towards me with both of her swords out and she was like this tornado of... steel... slice-y dice-y... death! *exhale* Yeah. She's... she's great. You'll never find a more loyal person in all of Eorzea, I'm willing to bet all of my gil on that. Well... actually that's not a lot but... Aaah you know what I mean." - Hitari Ishiyama
- "Aheheh, uh. She's kind of amazing. I, uh- really shouldn't elaborate more or we'd be here for hours." - Stehl Helmgarde

- "I... feel she likes me more now that I... am putting my life on the line with everyone. I'm grateful to her. She keeps me, and everyone, really... reminded that we have somewhere to go back to.” A pause. “Mayhaps... I should tell her that myself." - Mylene Wharf
