Tani is a survivor.  First and foremost, she is the type who will get up in the morning and work.  She's a work-hard, play-hard type who doesn't have the word 'rest' in her vocabulary.  She's constantly moving, and even when she's out taking a break, chances are she's dragging some of her work with her.  What is that work?  Primarily, she's a bookkeeper (though she has been known to pick up scribe work or calligraphy work when her primary job is slow) who combines auditing the books of her clients with reviewing cargo manifests and spot-checking paperwork for the customs offices of each of the three major city-states in Eorzea.  In some ways, this work defines her, and it can be easy to identify her with her work -- but don't let her hustle fool you: there's more to Tani than meets the eye.

She can be loud, for one, and more than just verbally.  She is interested in fashion, and often spends widely on the latest and greatest from the Weaver's Guild in Ul'dah.  She doesn't hold with the idea that scholars should wear dowdy robes and spectacles; as she puts it, she much prefers to live, thank-you-very-much.  While she's not much of a frequent drinker, she does go out for her own version of partying: hanging out with drunks and recreational users, and engaging in battles of wit and questionable adventuring (note: Tani is not combat-trained).  She enjoys a well-laid prank, and individuals who think well outside the box.

'Sociable' and Tani go hand in hand.  While she doesn't always seek out company, she always welcomes meeting new folk, and will go out of her way to approach someone she finds interesting.  She has an unspoken love for thinkers and rebels, and has a soft spot for dreamers.  She's a shmoozer who doesn't know how to slow down.


Tavern-goers: she brings her work to taverns when she's hoping to be interrupted.

Customs-workers: Mealvaan's Gate employees (or similar in the other two cities) eat your heart out. Chances are she'll run into you sooner or later.

Scribes, bookkeepers, scholars: she flits about in many circles, but has a professional stake in these.  She might hear of your character, or your character her, and if your character has any interesting work stories, reputation, or current research, she might just float your way.

Merchants/smugglers: ahh, the source of her income.  She has a love affair with your character's money, and might approach your character for work.

Ruffians, vagabonds, or otherwise interesting characters: what can I say?  She's attracted to brightly burning flames, and the risk that she might get burned.


My time varies, but I tend to be available weekdays after 6pm PST.  Saturdays are often open, and Sundays may be available for special cases (depends on ooc stuff).  I'm fine with walkup rp, scheduled rp, or drop-em-in-the-same-area-and-see-what-happens rp.

I do both paragraph rp and single-liner rp.  I'm a believer in writing as much as the post needs, but not more.  But I'm not perfect, nor do I believe in perfection.

Primarily, I'm looking to expand her connections.

Thanks for your time!
