Apricity Found

A past devoid, a future rewritten. Beneath the hardened gaze and cold exterior one could only describe as performative, lies a ragged woman living her honest convictions. For every winter shall find the warmth of the sun.

Appearance.

❝A flower doesn't bloom
to be looked at.❞

Appearance

Like her namesake, Aster has lilac eyes and long blue hair neatly kept by a clip. A tall, lean frame following even sharper features. The Au Ra is adorned with dark scales that particularly brush the bridge of her nose.A well-dressed woman, her face seldom betraying carefully crafted composure. Aster carries herself with an air of professionalism as one would expect from her line of work. A glass pumpkin dangles beneath a horn, an eternity ring fits the opposite hand.

Inspiration.

❝Sometimes when you get busy,
you really need something
sweet to relieve the stress.❞

Story.

@aiu_eo11

❝Even if a flower is uprooted and cut,
wherever it's brought to,
it's still living its life on its own terms.❞

Shion

Born in Othard, displaced by Garlean occupation, orphaned by hands of Ishgard. The young Xaela would not be exempt from Man's ever-growing list of cruelty. With nothing but her name and a knife, Aster was left to fend for herself. Her travels across Aldenard were not met without struggle and mercy. To suffer, to survive, to find meaning in life beyond picking up a blade—or rather, learning to.The girl grew up in search of an identity, the woman found service under the Immortal Flames. She engrossed herself in mission and duty, lest the busybody allowed a moment to process a singular thought, let alone a feeling. Field work, reviews, reports, paperwork... A lot of paperwork. Aster garnered favor and forged connections emerging through the ranks.

Flowers on the battlefield

Kindred steps wander the realm, echoes of their tales and encounters. Martial discipline through Kriegstanz. Bated breaths from the Wolves' Den. Contributor to the Doman and Ishgardian restoration efforts, past feelings withstanding of the latter. Aster can hold her own in combat and her tongue, but does not shy from voicing her displeasure.The Au Ra is one of many Flame officers overseeing the administrative duties of their adventurers faction, the Free Brigade. Whether it's chakrams or pen and paper hand in hand, Aster works towards a brighter future for those she can. This cold, unforgiving world, and in spite of this, footsteps leaving hope, light, and warmth in their wake.Apricity ’neath shared skies.

Hooks.

Perhaps flowers can
bloom in wounds.

Like many, Aster did not have the most fortunate upbringing. She strongly emphasizes with the following: self-identity, displacement, orphanage, and survivor's guilt. For what makes a home? What defines a family?

Culture: What was lost
can be found.

Aster doesn't have a lot to go from her childhood, having little to no ties to her Xaela heritage. Even if she may never get answers to the questions about her life, Aster would like to connect with different auri cultures.

(Pictured: Doman Persimmon & Steppe Tea)

Sweets. And lots of it.

Between pouring copious amounts of creamer into her coffee and ordering a tooth aching number of treats for a single person, Aster is not immune to word-of-mouth recommendations to visit new cafés, bakeries, and restaurants.

That cute thing.
------ . . . May I see it?

With a penchant for cute trinkets and plushies, Aster may (with thinly veiled resistance) ask about an object on your character.

Your ideas.

Is your character interested in Aster's demeanor or seeks conversation? Any ideas are welcomed!— Aster traveled pre-Calamity Aldenard. The knife kid found mercy in the kindness of strangers.— Aster can be found around UI'dah, the Hall of Flames, the Wolves' Den, Ishgard, and Kugane.— Aster is enlisted to the Immortal Flames and oversees the administrative duties of their adventurers faction, the Free Brigade. As a non-WOL in a WOL centric plot, she supervises the business of organizations such as the Scions of the Seventh Dawn.— Aster has poor experiences with Garlean and Ishgardian military. She emphasizes with those who were also victims of war. (Garlean displacement, conscription, Ishgardian slaughter, etc.)— Aster has particularly poor feelings regarding Ishgard's climate (figuratively and literally) despite taken up residence in the Empyreum.
