Aliases/Nicknames:
"Shandi": Generally used by most her close friends.
Face: X'yandih has a childish face most of the time filled with curiosity and wonder. She has stripes on her cheeks and forehead which are covered by her bangs. She has teal colored hair with light teal highlights styled in pigtails with white bows.
Eyes: One blue and one pink.
Body: X'yandih has the body of a teenager, not too big of a chest, width of thighs. She is pretty skinny and doesn't have a lot of muscle. In fact it is a bit weak compared to others. She is however very dexterous as her brother taught her to be when she was little.
Voice: X'yandih speaks in a Noble and proper tone. Though since she has been away from her family she has learned how to speak like her friends but can still bestow orders in her Noble voice when she needs to.
Demeanor: X'yandih has a Noble demeanor which hides her shyness when she first meets people. When she gets to know you though she relaxes and accepts you as a friend and equal. Sometimes rarely one can see her demeanor a bit depressed as she is thinking of troubling things. She tries to be kind to everyone and treat them as she would like to be treated.
Personality: (Social setting) X'yandih loves parties and get togethers. If she doesn't know anyone she will be shy at first. She loves to dance and sing which is why she always wanted to be a bard, aside from her reading about all the adventures in books. She likes meeting new people and gaining more friends and allies. Sometimes she can get angry if she doesn't get her way and will revert back to her Noble roots.
(Combat) X'yanih is mainly a magic user being that her body can't quite handle the strength needed for many disciple of war classes though she knows how to shoot a bow due to her dexterity learned from a young age.
Flaws: Her body is weak due to the fact that she didn't grow properly when she was young because she didn't have good nutrition when she was age 5-8 she refused to eat much after she had been adopted because she was still scarred by the death of her parents. Even today she is a picky eater. The girl is too trusting and naive so she needs the help of others to protect her from trouble she could get herself into. She also has problems with being late and being messy as she never had to clean up after herself in her upbringing.
Intelligence: X'yandih is very smart. She loves books and always carries one with her. Her curiosity of books led her to become a summoner after finding an old Grimoire during her travels. She enjoys learning new stories, poems and songs from the bards she sees along her journeys as well. She can also write her own fine enough too.
Religious Views: Being raised Ishgardian from age 5, X'yandih grew up worshiping Halone the Fury. Her parents were fairly religious so they taught both of their adopted children the rituals and ways of Halone. X'yandih's brother took to them more than she.
Romance: X'yandih has a bodyguard named Thrylos Elpida whom she has for some time had a big crush on. The man is very dedicated to his duty though is soft towards her when they are alone. She knows he genuinely cares about her too but something is holding her back from telling him her true feelings.

Family
X'yandih's birth parents were X'naqa Tia, was a hunter for the the Lynx tribe. He was good at his job and loved his family. He was very fond of his daughter X'yandih. He was a kind man, possibly a little too kind and trusted easily. Though he was an excellent hunter he had sympathy for the animals he slayed for the tribe's meals and tried to never kill more than was necessary to feed his friends and family During his hunts he often brought back things like raw jewel rocks and pretty feathers for his daughter. X'yandih's mother, X'Tahja Tsunhe was a weaver for the village and she spoiled her child by making her bightly hued blankets and clothes out of the softest fabrics, event though dyes were sort of expensive. She was a nice woman but had her moments where she could get a little loud. X'yandih was an only child.
X'yandih's adopted parents are Reginold and Katherine Haillenarte. Reginold is Lord Frances' brother and he and his wife wanted kids but were unable to have them due to an illness Lady Katherine suffered when she was young. Reginold is a very busy man who X'yandih obeys because she has heard his temper when talking politics with others. Her adopted mother enjoys the high life and loves to dress X'yandih up in gowns and adorn her with fine jewelry. She loves her adopted children and makes time every day to spend with them.
X'yandih has an adopted brother named Aeryn who was also adopted by the Haillenartes. He is a midlander and is very protective of his sister. He would now be around 21 years old.
Friends
Thrylos Elpida - X'yandih's bodyguard of 3 years. He is a man of little words except when around his Lady. He was raised by the Gladiator's guild since his father died during the Calamity. His mother hasn't been seen since he was born. He was chosen over Emelin Souledge to be X'yandih's personal bodyguard. X'yandih has a huge crush on him but will never admit it due to things in her past.
Emelin Souledge - A powerful mage and also X'yandih's best childhood friend. She was once thought to have an aether sickness which was actually a blood line trait of "red magic" that flows in her veins With training she she can cast spells from light and dark magic as well as is proficient with a sword. She protected X'yandih from the streets of Ul'dah and X'yandih really looks up to her. She is also very big on fashion and she and X'yandih have fun shopping when there is no danger.
Salvius Dunois - A very close friend whom she met in her first adventuring Free Company, the Skyguard Corsairs. Though the company did not work out the two kept running into each other and soon became friends and allies. Sal, as she mostly likes to be called has promised to protect X'yandih from her newfound enemies. X'yandih respects her very much. When X'yandih first met Sal she thought she was a man due to the heavy armor Sal always wore.
Kitaunia Kekini - A white Mage with some other strange powers such as that of illusion. She has been trying to figure out what is wrong with X'yandih regarding her summons and strange possession occurrences.
Iris Dawnstar - Also a White Mage as well as X'yandih's bard instructor when she was in training. She is a strange woman who seems to "fall over dead" then minutes later appear fine.
Natya Rudh - X'yandih's first Free Company leader, her "Captain." They have recently come back in contact as Natya recommended X'yandih to join the Free Company Seraphim.
Enemies
- An Ishgardian group called the Genesis Vanguards are after X'yandih. They are led by a man from her past who used to work for the Haillenarte House. He was found guilty of a few crimes against the House and therefore was fired from his job as a House guard. X'yandih knows that the group is after her but does not know why. They have put up a bounty on her friend Emelin's head in order to capture her and gain information as well as lead X'yandih to them.
- Another of X'yandih's enemies comes from within. One day while researching in the arcanist's guild she found an old black binded book hidden among the shelves. She opened it and read a bit out loud which released a voidsent demon. This demon possesses X'yandih and she and her friends have been trying to figure out how to get rid of it without killing X'yandih or anyone else in the process.

- The Genesis Vanguards are actually after the crystals X'yandih has acquired during her adventures. They want to use these crystals to control the Primals and reshape the world.
- Yes I know a Miqo'te Haillenarte is not accurate by lore but I decided to take a bit of creative license and give Lord Francis a brother whose wife couldn't have kids and decided to take her in, especially after her traumatic experience with her biological parents.
