_______________________________________________
A Miqo'te girl with a big heart and a love of adventure. As much as the realm may change, she herself remains steadfast in her goal to see and help as much of the world as she can.
It isn't about being a Hero... but if she can do something within her power to help someone, then she is gonna, and even if it's beyond her abilities, by The Twelve; she's certainly going to try anyway.
"We don't die for our friends, we live for them."


Background
At just two years old; Aynah was whisked away from her birthplace Gyr Abania as the Garlean Empire finalised it's incursion over the fragmented and weakened city state of Ala Mhigo. Her clan fled to The Black Shroud, making it safely across the border before the later known Baelsar's Wall was constructed. Too young to remember much of the events surrounding their departure, the rest of Aynah's childhood was relatively stable with all things considered.Aynah from a very young age was always a daring,
and passionate free spirit.
Unable to sit still, she devoted herself to finding as much mischief and adventure to get into as she could, and as such she really took to her lessons in self-defence and hunting when her family and clan realised it would be best for her to be able to save herself from the trouble she often found.Aynah as she grew up was surprised, but thrilled to learn there was a perfect job waiting for her; that of the Adventurer.
What better place in the world could there be for her other than a job where she could do what she was already doing, but with the added plus that she would be helping others and be making a living from it. It was a win win.At the tender age of sixteen, she officially joined the Adventurer's Guild, and her destiny was set.
Text
When the calamity; Dalamud, fell to Eorzea, Aynah's world was shattered along with the rest of the continent. In the catastrophe; her entire clan - her parents were killed as a result of the unfolding carnage in Carteneau wreaked by the Primal Bahumut.Such tragedy served to strengthen the resolve in Aynah's heart. Her family gone, and the pain left behind threatening to overwhelm her... she pushed forwards. No matter who it was, she would not flinch or turn away from saving someone. Whether it be someone's mother, sister, daughter, friend... anyone, if she could save them and therefore prevent others from feeling such loss, it was worth it. She'd save them all so no one else would have to shed such tears of sorrow. She'd make the world a better place bit by bit.Wherever people might need help, and wherever there were new places, legends, and stories to become a part of... she'd be there in the center of it all.

Hello all. I first joined FFXIV back in 2019 for the release of Shadowbringers, and I have have loved every moment of it.
I've joined the FFXIV Roleplaying scene in early 2023, but before I found my way here; I have had a long standing 15+ years history of RP experience across several MMOs, forums, and in such scenarios as Dungeons and Dragons.My particular loves and interests lay in the realm of writing; of which I focused my Bachelor's Degree on, as well as Acting, which make RP kind of a perfect blend of the two really. I really love character based interaction and development, and strive to build fun and incredible narratives with any RP partners.
Outside of that, I'm your typical geeky dude who loves a variety of things across the culture, such as; video games, anime, manga, and reading in general really. There is a lot... I'm sure you get the idea.I work as a full time Librarian at a University in the UK where I deal with many aspects of Aquisition and Content Delivery, as well as dealing with the Library Finance needs. It can be a rather busy job, but I enjoy it and find it fulfilling.All in all, if you would like to get in touch and maybe figure out some RP stuff together or even just start initially by talking and having a laugh, please definitely feel free to approach me. I am always willing for discussion, questions and whatever.
Trust me... odds are that I want to reach out as well, but like many others, even I can get those feelings of anxiety that hold me back. There is never any ill will or judgement from my side of the screen.
We all have our own lives, and our own battles, so let's just figure things out, have fun, stay safe, and be awesome.Many thanks.<3
