Interesting thread ^_^
Aya Foxheart is not "Ishgardian", she is an Ala Mhigan refugee whose family found refuge (shortly before the gates were sealed) with distant relatives who had settled in Ishgard generations beforehand as Sellswords. She was raised in the city and grew to loath it: a combination of the overbearing and restrictive nature of the religious environment, the pretentiousness of her parents (who have been unable to adjust to their new social status), and the general unwelcomeness she felt in the city outside of her own peer group. Escaping in the middle of the night she's happy to have left.
I have really enjoyed the Hyur-Elezen discussion in this thread, and I suspect that as Highland Hyur, members of the Ala Mhigan warrior class, and very tenuous converts (skin deep just to be accepted into the city) her family were among the least welcome type!
With regards to socializing with other Ishgardians, she is generally friendly, but probably less so toward Ishgardians, especially faithful, Elezen Ishgardians, than toward anyone else
Still, she might reminisce about the city with an ex-patriot over some Gridanian mead!
Also... my first RPC post!
