So, I've been enjoying my Elezen who was predominately a melee character IC, but I really miss healing on my alt.. just not the alt itself. I am also stubborn enough where if I can't see my character doing a class or job, I can't bring myself to swap to that class or job. 

So I was kind of curious about Scholar lore, despite all I've read there's been few answers. So some opinions or even specific facts I can't find on the typical wiki pages that just quote the pretty ambiguous in game description would be nice. 

Eos and Selene are my main concern, but also sort of an idea. Are Eos and Selene a species of Fairy or are they specific names of two special fairies who choose to help a Scholar in their main plot? Just curious how I should address the two (though I'd probably only use Eos) if I do RP a scholar, whether coming up with my own names for them or address them as Eos and Selene. I'd like to make sure it's not a "Chosen One" story plot for having them, like a lot of the main story. 

I vaguely remember the quest on my other character, about finding the fairies. Would it be believable that my character found a Fairy on accident, and the Fairy taught my character how to be a Scholar? It would sort of explain the sudden interest in magic, at least to me. I would from there consider trying to get magical lessons from other players, and continue to study magic with the Fairy.
Spoilers for the scholar quest line.

Only one fairy pops up in the cut scenes and only that singular fairy is ever referred to, and her name is neither Eos nor Selene; it's Lily.  Eos and Selene are two different forms or aspects of Lily or of any other given fairy.  So you can address them however you like.  My main's fairy is named Ariel, for example, whether I've got Eos or Selene out.

As for how you became a scholar, that's up to you.  The most general solution I've seen (including my own) is that the character found a Nymian tablet with a fairy inside, but you can get creative.
