She is content to sit in a quiet corner and read a book for hours. At times, she is prone to neglecting her own needs in favour of her intellectual pursuits.Her penchant for being alone also translates to a general disdain for others. Unless someone proves to have something useful to say, she prefers to keep conversations short, and has few relationships of any kind. She is prickly, and tends to assume the worst of people.More recently, however, she has been known to make attempts to be tolerant, if not outright polite. Someone in her life has been working to open up her heart again. It's not an easy road, but she's trying!
Hooks
Reading: If she's out and about, chances are she's either looking for a book, or a nice spot to read. Perhaps the book in her hand is a familiar one? Or one might simply be curious about what she's reading.Sharlayan: The place of her birth, and the place to which she plans to return. She hopes to become an Archon someday by distinguishing herself among the scholarchs of the Forum.Sage and Healer: Though she has a terrible bedside manner, she is a rather proficient healer. One might notice the nouliths on her back, when she wears them.The Void: Recently, she's taken up studying all things related to the Void - or as much information as she's been able to find. She is also something of a voidsent hunter in training, as a result.Other: She is a rather antisocial gremlin, but that in itself can make for some fun and interesting interactions!
OOC
25+ only. This includes IRL and IC.Real life and RP are not the same. Do not expect my feelings to reflect my character's, and vice versa. Odette is rather antisocial, please don't take it personally!Long term or short term are fine. I prefer pushing a story I can sink my teeth into, but I'm not opposed to 'popcorn' RP, either.While I don't hold strict rules about post matching, I do expect effort. That doesn't necessarily mean mult-para every time, but it means, give me something to work with, please! This is not an invitation to info dump, but just... make it meaningful.I like the lore of FFXIV. One might even say I love it. I'm by no means an expert, but I prefer to abide by the lore as closely as I can. There are, of course, exceptions (especially when it's more speculation about things hinted at in the MSQ so far), but let's just say... I'm not interested in characters who blatantly break the lore.I also RP in Discord, but I would prefer to get to know you, first!
