#aisrael

Chocobo: Chichiri (ice blue)

Azem: Phoebus

Personality: Laid-back, friendly, gets distracted easily, easy to please, protective. Cares deeply about his friends and loved ones and tries to see the best in people.

Overview: Very close to G'raha and Y'shtola, and sees Alphinaud and Alisaie as his younger siblings. Frequently returns to the Crystarium and spends a great deal of time there. Renoki owns a house in the Empyreum and often visits Aymeric (and Aymeric often visits him in his house). Despite growing up mainly in Ishgard and Sharlayan, Renoki raised his sister in Tailfeather following their parents' deaths. He left Tailfeather for Ul'dah to learn the art of Thaumaturgy so that he could better provide for his sister, but ended up following the path of the Dragoon instead. Eventually he studied as an Arcanist and developed his skills as a Scholar, though his faerie most often takes the form of a carbuncle. Renoki is very expressive, and the positioning of his ears and tail are very telling of his current state of mind. He is noticeably more cat-like in his mannerisms than many other miqo'te.

Rhunara

Name: Rhunara Sinro

Race/clan: Miqo'te/Keeper of the Moon

Age: Twenty/early twenties

Nameday: 17th Sun of the 1st Astral Moon

Guardian: Halone, the Fury

Main job: Dragoon

Chocobo: Atlas (rolanberry red)

Ancient: Phoebe

Personality: Feisty, resilient, protective, boisterous. Has a tendency to keep people at arm's length and is slow to trust them.

Overview: Suffered severe amnesia after the Calamity due to being hit by rubble and rendered unconscious, leaving her unable to recognise her brother, Renoki, despite his fame as the Warrior of Light. Usually hides her amnesia from others to avoid unwanted questions. Rhunara learned to wield a lance during her time in Tailfeather, and has recently reunited with her brother and been introduced to the Scions. Despite developing a closeness with Alisaie, she's not adjusting particularly well to her new way of living and frequently longs for solitude.

He was one of the first Students of Baldesion and was presumed dead when the Isle of Val disappeared, though he wasn't there at the time - he had accidentally travelled to the First several years prior. Having not been able to find a way back to the Source, he and his chocobo roamed the First for a few years before finding a quiet place to spend the rest of their days.

Ancient: Asterios

Personality: Cheerful, ambitious, slightly naïve, optimistic. Driven by his determination to prove his ability as a fighter.

Overview: Born and raised in Sharlayan, Y'rhuna has lived quite a sheltered life. He always looked up to the likes of G'raha Tia and Alphinaud Leveilleur, and is very keen to show everyone that he can be skilled both academically and physically. He idolises G'raha Tia in a similar way to how G'raha Tia idolises the Warrior of Light. Once commissioned a tailor to make him a copy of the Crystarium gear after he saw the Warrior of Light wearing it.

He decided to become an adventurer after hearing adventurers share their tales in the various taverns he visited. Despite discovering that he could further advance his mastery over the bow and the lance to become a Bard and a Dragoon, Faelene decided to continue to fight and hunt in the ways he had been taught as a kit. Even with his gradual acclimatization to the bustling settlements of Eorzea, he retains the somewhat reticent nature of his people.

Her family are skilled fighters, with many going on to become dragoons (and some Azure Dragoons) and archers, and she is proficient with both a bow and a lance. Her fearless nature led to her travelling to Meracydia in an attempt to find her missing partner.

Aisrael leaned back against the stone pillar as she looked down at the bustling plaza beneath her. A soft wind was blowing, carrying with it the smell of salt and the sound of distant orders being shouted. There was always something happening at Limsa Lominsa, always a hub of activity... Aisrael considered herself lucky that she'd grown up here and learned the best places to grab a moment's peace. Tomorrow she would set sail for Ul'dah. P'yrrah was more excited for the journey than Aisrael was. Actually, that wasn't quite true - Aisrael relished in the journey but didn't care much for the destination. Ul'dah had never interested her much. It was overrun with greed, she thought, and unlike pirates, Ul'dahn merchants didn't seem to follow a Code. She couldn't understand why P'yrrah loved it so much, but she was grateful to spend more time with her best friend, even just for a short while. The sun was starting to cast a hazy gold glow over the white stone walls of the city. Aisrael stood up and stretched, glancing over the plaza once more before turning away to make the final checks on her ship.

As Aisrael had expected, P'yrrah was a bundle of enthusiasm as they prepared to set sail. Her red hair shone like polished coins in the morning sun and her ears twitched excitedly as she took in the hubbub around her.

"Oh, it's been so long since I've been back to Ul'dah!" she gushed excitedly, tail flickering. Aisrael rolled her eyes good-naturedly and pushed through the throng of people on the deck. P'yrrah followed her with a huge beam on her face. Once they boarded the ship and set sail, Aisrael took a moment to study the miqo'te in front of her. Her skin had relinquished its silvery sheen in favour of a warm bronze glow, the result of hours upon hours spent dancing under the Costa del Sol sun. Aisrael remembered how quiet P'yrrah had been when they first met, years ago, how she'd tried in vain to blend in with the other dancers. It hadn't worked, of course. Even amongst the dancers, P'yrrah was uncommonly beautiful. Her hair had been flame-red, all the more striking against her pale skin, and her eyes glittered like garnets. Over time her hair had darkened to a coppery shade, and Aisrael thought she looked even more beautiful now than she did back then. Unfortunately, so did many other people, which was why P'yrrah was sailing to Ul'dah with her.

"Could ye at least try ter look less happy about this?" Aisrael grumbled. "This isn' a holiday, we've got work ter do."

P'yrrah flashed her a smile. "I know!" she said cheerfully. "But we're not there yet!"
