Cheerful, calm and gentle. Shy at first meetings but eventually very caring and invested in someone's well-being but not without a bit of sass since she is no stranger to those who'd rather grit their teeth and walk off an injury.

She is a healer but... Sometimes non-violent methods just don't cut it when the going gets tough so she isn't a complete pushover. But she is also very insecure and worries about not doing a good job despite the contrary.

Cursed with an inability to recognize her conjury and appearance in a positive light, often shrinking away compliments and praise yet also seeking approval of her very existence due to a not-so bright upbringing.

She tries to keep up a happy front however, putting aside her feelings for the sake of others and her profession.

Hooks

  • Wandering healer- Always on the road, no shortage of hurts to tend to. Aetheric, herbal and basic first aid.

  • Seeker of knowledge- To expand her craft and learn about the star and its cultures as she grew up somewhat sheltered. Very eager listener.

  • Secret Songstress and White Mage- Her voice gives power to her magics, for it is also her voice that blessed her with a White Mage soulstone bestowed to her by [redacted]. It is one of the reasons why she left Gridania as soon as she was able to. She keeps that part a secret, just a simple conjurer on the road.

  • That which heals in low doses... Kills with high- Is part of a skypirate crew. No stranger to danger and doing the opposite of her profession. Given her demure appearance, most that see her as an easy target will be mistaken should they chance it.

☼ History ☼

History

Too young to remember the specifics but she believes her parents abandoned her in Gridania when the reality was that her father, a fisherman and merchant, spirited her away from their home of Thavnair from her mother who was an alchemist that had been conducting questionable experiments with homunculus and then turned her sights to live subjects.Even though they were safe and accepted in the Twelveswood, her father could not in good conscience leave her mother to continue her twisted trials.Making the heartbreaking choice and that she would be much safer in Gridania, he left her in their care as he ventured out to put a stop to his partner's wicked wiles.It is unknown whether he is still fighting, captured or perished in his task.Despite being allowed sanctuary and being nurtured, she felt she was not welcomed growing up which led to her being closed off and doing her best to stay out of everyone's way. It was especially apparent from the other children as she was relentlessly bullied for her Auri features being called names such as lizard, demonchild or stoneface.Nonetheless, she never wished ill on them for she believed she was fated to never be accepted since her parents abandoned her.The feeling of abandonment increased a hundredfold during an educational venture in the East shroud that she was led astray by one supervising adult and her bullies, being pushed into a small pit in the Bramble Patch and left behind. Her legs were caught in the bramble, the more she struggled the more cuts she received but those paled in comparison to a large thorn impaling her left ankle betwixt skin and scale.Trapped in the rain, she had just about given up hope before a group of Sylphs found and rescued her. As she was receiving care, the conjurers stationed at Little Solace sent word to Gridania about the missing child. While Edenia told the Sylphs who was responsible, she was terrified of speaking to the elders seeing as it would only invite more conflict upon her.The Sylphs administered their own justice in their own whimsical ways.Since then, Edenia would spend more time with the Sylphs and Little Solace than Gridania proper, exception being when she joined the conjurers guild to become a healer so that she may help herself and others who are left to their hurts. She demonstrated an aptitude for conjury and became an accomplished healer as she grew. Yet despite her accomplishments, she still felt inferior.

It is her hope that by adventuring out beyond the Shroud, she could help and heal those she comes across but also to strengthen her resolve and general view of herself.
