Appearance and Features
• Hair: Silvery-blue, medium length with bangs. She often braids her hair, and attempts to take care of it as well as she can on her travels. Her roots seem to have more blue, with most of the silver highlighted throughout and near the ends.
• Eyes: Blue/gray, though they glow brightly blue when she augments her spells with her own aether.
• Height: 6’3”
• Complexion: Smooth blushed alabaster skin, with a beauty mark and light freckles on her face.
• Face: A youthful face, belied by one that seems to carry much wisdom and hardship from her past. Almond shaped eyes that can give one a piercing hunter's gaze when necessary, with heavy eyelids that make her eyes appear darker than they truly are. Her small vieran nose has a longer bridge than normal, though mostly unremarkable. Her lips are bow-shaped, which she makes sure to take care of with balm that she makes herself. Despite her travels, she often applies simple makeup and attempts to keep herself presentable, a sign of sophistication despite her free-spirited mannerisms.
• Physique: Lithe and lean; a silhouette of gentle curves, long powerful legs, and natural muscle tone. Delicate hands and fingers that have shown signs of hardship in the past, but recently have been better treated. Preferring to travel by foot, and using her downtime to practice her swordsmanship, she is in great shape, and an excellent runner.
• Identifying Marks: Her body is littered with scars, with most being on her back, side, and arms. She typically dresses conservatively to hide them, though the most noticeable one is on her right forearm that is sometimes noticeable past the cuff of her sleeve. She has a small straight vertical scar on her jaw to the right of her chin as well that is only visible in certain lighting, that she covers with makeup often while in cities. Her face was mostly spared by the hardships she endured. The most gruesome scars on her back frequently cause her discomfort, even to this day.
• Language and Voice: Soft and velvety, her normal speaking voice is barely above a whisper, but can sometimes carry a deep, commanding weight when the situation calls for it. She is fluent in vieran forest speak and Dalmascan, but is working on her Eorzean. She speaks with a thick vieran (Scandinavian) accent, with some inflections and mannerisms of upper-class Dalmascan.
• Personal effects: At her back, she carries her well-used travel pack, which shows the signs of a long history of rugged use and recent repair. Within it, she carries most of her life possessions, such as her herbalism tools, rations, extra clothing, and more. Curiously, sheathed upon a belt that seems slightly too large for her, she keeps one of her most prized possessions: a Dalmascan knight's sword. The sword is polished, sharpened, and maintained pristine, and it seems that she takes extra care of it above many of her other belongings. She can sometimes be found welding a staff as well, though she does not always bring it on her travels. The rings she wears upon her fingers belonged to her sister, who was a war dancer in the Dalmascan resistance.
Personal life
• Residence: She was born in an outskirts village of the Skatay Range, and fled 30 years ago. Now a Dalmascan refugee in Eorzea, she has no place to call her own yet, but she currently stays with a friend and benefactor in Gridania, who offered her space within her residence.
• Relationships and Children: If asked, Elysea would say that she is single and not particularly looking, and that she has no gender preference, or rather, is bisexual. While she attempts to put on a happy demeanor for those she meets, it becomes evident quite quickly that she is lonely, but refuses to admit such. Elysea fawns over children, and her guard drops immediately around them. She longs to have some of her own and settle down some day, but would say that she doubts she ever will, due to her life situation and personal quest to find herself again.
• Occupation: While not officially employed, she acts as a wandering freelance healer and protector, and sells the herbs and valuables she finds along the way. She also volunteers her services to refugee settlement initiatives, as she is fluent in vieran forest speak and Dalmascan, and seeks to help others that have experienced displacement from the Garlean invasions, as she had.
• Relatives:
Yvitte: She speaks fondly of her great-grandmother Yvitte, who was a wise-woman, spiritualist, and leader of her home city. She passed away from natural causes when Elysea was a child.
Yrgotte: When asked of her mother, Yrgotte Elysea shuts down, as if reverting to the state of an abused child. Her relationship with her mother is extremely strained, and she wishes not to speak of her any more than that. She cares not whether her mother is still alive in the Skatay Range, or if she has passed in the time since she left.
Father: She never knew her father. When asked if she ever wonders about him, she says that she does, though it's not something that deeply interests her at this stage in her life.
Oryne: If asked of her siblings, Elysea's face flashes a brief moment of sorrow. Oryne, her younger brother, was taken by the Wood Warders when he came of age, and Elysea has never heard from or seen him since. Not a whisper of a rumor. She would say that she wishes to know if he is still alive, and if he has left the Warders, to reconnect someday.
Grmyr: Elysea responds with a tinge of sadness in her voice, but at the same time, smile as she stares back at you. Her younger sister was her best friend, and she believed that she was still with her always, one with nature now, as she would have wanted.
Danian Fal’thahn: Elysea says that her late fiancé, a Dalmascan knight and minor lord, was a noble and honorable man. He inspires her to stay in the light, and to keep her head up, even when she is at her lowest. She also feels that he is always with her, one with nature, like her sister.

Elysea is initially warm and kind to most people that she meets on her travels, and is always willing to help those in need. She upholds a certain code of honor, tends to be a little naive of those that wish to do her harm due to this, and often trusts people blindly. She enjoys meeting people, but often has trouble opening up to others herself. Many will find that they end up spilling their lives to her, but afterward, knowing very little about the mysterious viera that just dropped in and out of their lives.
Spending time with her, one will notice nuances. When amongst others, she puts on an air of sophistication that can sometimes seem forced, but as soon as they are away from the city and in the wilderness, she becomes more free-spirited and energetic. A strange dichotomy, she feels more at home in the wilds, but still appreciates the modern comforts afforded by society. Despite her attempts at high-class mannerisms, she cares little for material gain, and anything of worth that she carries has deep sentimental value to her.
Additional Info and Hooks
• She is a powerful conjurer and white magic user, though she does not like showmanship, and will usually only perform it publicly if extremely necessary. This power seems to come to her innately, while a blue flash of light from her eyes can be present when exerting herself. She seems to unnaturally draw much power from her own aether, which was rendered unstable by Garlean experiments. This means that she is capable of great feats of magic, but at the risk of seriously hurting or even killing herself if she is not careful.
• Quietly searching for any knowledge of white magic in Eorzea, with a keen interest in Amdapor. Any mention of white magic, Elementals, or Amdapor will spark her interest. She possesses an Amdaporian-era cultist tome, and seeks to have someone with knowledge of that culture translate it for her. She stole the tome from her mother before she fled her home, but how her family came into possession of such a tome to begin with is a mystery. Her mother used a partially translated fertility spell to have Elysea, and she believes that some meaning in her life could be found in solving the mystery of this ancient spell book.
• Spent time as a Garlean war prisoner and guinea pig for an enterprising Garlean scientist. Getting her to speak of this time is difficult, and it is an extremely touchy subject with her. Having been a member of the Dalmascan resistance, losing her sister and fiancé to the Garleans, and due to her mistreatment at the hands of her captors, she harbors a deep disdain for Garleans and Garlemald. Since the events of Endwalker, she may be more sympathetic to individual Garleans, but despises them as a whole.
• If ever put to the task of defending herself, she is very skilled with her sword, relying more so on speed and technique than strength, though she does not seem to lack in that attribute either. Her displays of dedicated tutoring from a skilled knightly swordsman is belied by blows that can come across as brutal and almost savage in nature, as if a rage fills her that is honed and harnessed by the training of an honor bound expert. She combines her talents of war dancing, to make a sword dance that is elegant and beautiful; a white swan gently taking off in flight. Her strikes are vicious and deadly; a tigress going in for the kill. When pushed to the limit, or wishing to avoid a fight altogether, she will use her white magic to blind or dazzle and opponent before fleeing.
• A hearty solo wanderer, but she will happily travel with company if the opportunity arises, often traveling with others in directions she had no intention to go, just to help. She takes nothing as a reward for any of the services she renders, often asking to stay anonymous, flabbergasting many recipients of her talents with her generosity.
• Though she has no permanent place to call home, she has space in a fellow refugee's house in Gridania. Who this friend is, she keeps as a secret.
• Is often accompanied by an owlet that she has named Amathus. The owlet seems to have taken to her, and will often perch on her shoulder, or on the trees or scenery around her. She met the owlet upon a recent outing in the Shroud, and now feeds and takes care of him when she can.
