Xeyri
Xunhu
"To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides." "I was born with music inside me. Music was one of my parts. Like my ribs, my kidneys, my liver, my heart. Like my blood. It was a force already within me when I arrived on the scene. It was a necessity for me - like food or water."

the soul.
the personality A lively, friendly female Miqo'te. Xeyri as outgoing as she is bright, often approaching others first to attempt to break the ice. She likes to make sure others are comfortable during social interactions, and is often checking body language to make sure they stay that way. Xeyri is very playful, often making jokes or play flirting with those around her to keep the vibes up and light. She tries to keep an air of calm, cool, and collected with a dab of good natured humor. She is a goofball however, and this quickly slips if she's caught off guard.Given her own struggles with mental health, Xeyri is very empathetic and tends to be keenly aware of how others are doing. She often tries to express herself clearly through body language and words so that she can be more clearly understood.
She tries to help everyone feel included, either in the conversation or the activity. Many may think that she's not paying attention by doing this, but she is very perceptive. Xeyri is not afraid to banter all in the name of fun.She struggles with insecurity, though this is internal and aimed at just herself. She is a kind soul who tries to give others the benefit of the doubt. She is not one to be taken advantage of, however, and has a limit as to how much she is willing to take before her temper gets the better of her.
& key items.
important items commonly found in their inventory.
Harp
A remnant from her days as a bard. Xeyri cannot bring herself to throw away her harp, it was something she carved and strung herself with much guidance. She maintains its upkeep, though she cannot find it in herself to really pick it up anymore.She usually keeps it on her, tucked away collapsed into one of her coat's deeper pockets. Hammer-space is an incredible magic.
flute
A flute carved by the Vanu vanu and given to her as a sign of kinship, so that whenever she worked up the courage to play again that she'd know she wasn't alone.Though she does not play it publicly often, the flute is either on her person or safely sucked away in her inn room at all times. It means a lot to her emotionally, and she does not let others handle it. She would keep it on her constantly were it not for the concern that it would break during a job.
Krakka root
Xeyri has a few of these on her at any given time for her chocobo, her companion throughout all of her travels, Chance.She is always willing to share for the sake of other chocobos.
wayfarer necklace
She picked it up one day and never put it down. Necklaces are her favorite pieces of jewlery.She is always wearing this.
the history.
A Child of Ul'dah, Xeyri grew up in the Children's ward, having no memories of her parents or where she may have originally been from. She stayed there until she eventually aged out at Eighteen, immediately going to sign up with the adventurer's guild and start her journey. She spent a while in Gridania learning archery, later joining the bard contingent though it was more just in name as she never actually joined the Adders. Xeyri started her career with the Adventurer's guild in earnest, staying around Gridania as she really got the hang of things before she expanded her sphere, eventually traveling between the great cities to follow the flow of quests from the Adventurer's Guild.After Ishgarde opened its doors, she became a frequent visitor, often stopping by and helping to get adventuring work flowing through there as well. She has much fondness for the city, though she is not the biggest fan of the constant cold temperatures, she found warmth through its people as they unlearned their history and rebuilt themselves. Thus she also added Ishgarde to her rotation of availability for assignments.
She would later add Kugane to her list of places visited, getting the idea from a friend to visit the Far East and truly see somewhere new. She did, thriving in learning a new culture and actually traveling a greater distance than she had before. She had not remained there long, as she returned to UlDah only to hear about openings for adventurers to help with the retaking of Ala Mhigo. Knowing she had much less to lose than others, she signed up, hoping that her healing arts would make a difference and prevent the deaths of good people who wanted to make a difference. After, she would linger to help with the monster population, taking many assignments from their job board in an effort to help as much as she could. She still stops by, sometimes, though it is noteably less than everywhere else, as though she is avoiding something.Xeyri has changed a lot over the course of her adventure. She set out as a bard, later abandoning her voice and her bow to become a healer and white mage after the loss of a dear friend. Later, during the resistance of ala mhigo where she was one of the adventurers who volunteered their aid, something would happen and she would again change paths, picking up a gunblade to defend herself and others. She later learned the way of the sage after a chance encounter with someone who held a job stone that resonated with her, and has been one since. She will still take up her gunblade on occasion, when it is needed. And her story is far from done.

Early Life
Having grown up in the Children's Ward of Ul'dah, Xeyri was often left to her own devices, as the younger children needed the attention of the caretakers more than she did and there were simply not enough for the amount of children they had, especially after the calamity. As such, she'd often wander around the city if she wasn't helping out mostly in the form of tracking down the children and going to collect them before curfew or trying to keep them out of trouble. She kept this up, especially for a child named F'sol, until she aged out.She often snuck out on her own to catch the Songstress of Ul'dah's shows. She looked up to her, mesmerized, and thus it inspired her dream. She dreamed to see the world, come back to Ul'dah, and sing about it. This inspired her to start singing, something she had a knack for, putting many many hours into practicing whenever she had a chance.When she was an early teen, she would also wander off to watch the street performers. A few took to teaching her a few dance moves during their off times, and so whenever she was bored and wanted to move, she would practice. She found it very fun and still practices when she's between assignments during her downtime.
Adult life
The Forests of Gridania were vastly different to the deserts of Ul'dah, and Xeyri found herself loving running through the woods and exploring everything it had to offer beneath its canopy. When she'd heard about someone beginning a Bard contingent, she was keen to learn given her love of music. She was quick to pick up the harp, having dabbled in instruments any chance she had, which wasn't often. She embraced being a bard fully, practicing, training, singing, and playing instruments all hours of the day. Though she still had to make money wherever she could to afford food, as food and board was not covered, she did what she could to scrape by. It became easier over time as her skills grew and she was able to take on proper assignments from the adventurer's guild, embracing her life as an adventurer. Once she was confident, she set off from Gridania.
Heavensward
She does not talk much about this period of her life. After hearing about how Ishgarde was accepting adventurers, she set off to the snow covered landscape to help however she could in their reconstruction efforts however she could or was requested. The only thing known is that she lost a very dear friend during this period, and she put down her bow and vowed to never sing again, as songs had failed her when she needed them most.She wound up spending a lot of time with the vanu vanu, the beastmen of the Sea of Clouds. She holds them very fondly. They carved her a flute so she would always hear their voices with her whenever she played. She left their company with a hair cut to ease the weight off her shoulders, returning to the surface to pick up healing so she would never lose anyone ever again. She'd just take to going wherever the adventurer's guild sent her.
Stormblood
Deciding she would benefit from a change of scenery, Xeyri decided to head to Kugane to see somewhere new with a group of fellow adventurers to pick up more assignments and see the sights as well as the culture. She did take on jobs and enjoyed learning more about the culture. When she returned to Eorzea, she heard about the call for adventurers to join the retaking of Ala Mhigo, and she signed up. She hoped that her healing arts would help many return home from the war, and she played her part as best she could.After pushing the Garleans back, she and other adventurers stayed in the area to continue helping with the adjustment period, keeping the monster population at bay so those trying to rebuild did not have to fear.
> During a routine day, the Garleans launched an ambush near the peering stones. The adventurers in the area were able to evacuate the residents, though several adventurers were taken. It is not entirely known why, though it was believed to be a show of what happened to those who dared to resist or rebel. These adventurers were held for two months, mostly in isolation. A counter raid was launched and all adventures were recovered, Xeyri counted among them. All were found slightly malnourished. She does not talk about her time there, but the time following showed significant change in her behavior. She became more closed off, did not travel, was short tempered, and took a break from adventuring.For undisclosed reasons, she hung up her staff and took up a gunblade and worked through whatever happened, later returning to her usual routines again.
Shadowbringers
During a chance encounter in Limsa, a soulstone resonates with Xeyri, drawing her back into the healing arts as a Sage. This time, she seems very happy, as though it fills everything she felt was missing. This time was very healing for her, she even began to play instruments again and share her songs, though she was unable to bring herself to sing. Her emotional and mental health were at an all time high, and she seemed much more comfortable with everything.

basic etiquette *
If I don't have my RP tag on, shoot me a tell first.Xeyri is very friendly, but I promise she is not seriously flirting with your character. My character and I are separate beings, her feelings do not reflect my own.I will not give my discord unless we really hit it off OOC. Feel free to ask, but please don't get upset if I tell you I am not ready for that yet. I am very shy.
preferred themes *
I would love to explore more mature themes or serious subject matter!I would love to have Xeyri meet more adventurers and get to know other parties, as she tends to roam between groups on assignments! She is very open to friends, especially on the job!

Hello! My name is Mystic, and I play Xeyri. I am a semi literate to fully literate roleplayer, FFXIV is my first experience with roleplay in an mmo setting. So if there is anything I could be doing better, please let me know! I am used to roleplaying in a forum setting or on Discord. When I am not doing that, I am a content fiend. I love to run trials & raids especially, and am always happy to help with grinding!Even though Xeyri is a very friendly extrovert, I am a very shy introvert, especially at first! I tend to type a lot, especially if I get excited, so please feel free to let me know when to dial it back.One thing I want to add, is that Xeyri is very friendly, and will sometimes err on the side of play flirting. I want to emphasize that I am not flirting with you. I am not interested in you. I am happily in a relationship and am not interested. Xeyri is also NOT seriously interested, as she is OFF THE MARKET. She's just messing around as she is playful.

P'Rein "Reign" - He/Him
An acquaintance recently reunited, Reign is someone who has given Xeyri pause in ways she is not exactly used to. She is so comfortable with him, and it seems almost natural to be around him.
