What kind of stories has your character gotten into?
Y'lyfriel journeyed from Limsa Lominsa to the Twelveswood, marking the first time she has been away from La Noscea in her life. She was fleeing from something she has yet to tell anyone about, but lost much of her fear as she began to build a new life for herself, meet new people.
After befriending Rhesh'ir Zhwan, she dove headfirst into trouble that had hunted him down in Gridania. After rescuing Rhesh'ir from capture, she assisted in the tracking down and killing those responsible—a conjurer, Amelia, and a lancer, Sarrasin.
After, she and Rhesh'ir accompanied their quickly growing traveling party to Thanalan. After a minor pit-stop in the northron end of the desert, they trekked south towards U'ldah. In the deep desert, they were ambushed by a tempered Miqo'te tribe, and captured by the Amalj'aa. The primal, Ifrit, was summoned, and after a grueling fight, the party defeated it. Nearly beaten, and many badly wounded, the travelers continued on to Ul'dah.
New problems arose in Ul'dah. Lyf's dear friend, Rhesh'ir, is fearful of meeting a fate he's spent cycles hiding from, and she seeks fervently to remove the threat.
How has your character changed since the game (re)launch?
Lyf has moved away from the passivity of her past; since reaching the Twelveswood, she has actively pursued a path for herself, a purpose apart from what others want for her. She has taken up archery, and grown closer to her Miqo'te heritage—something far out of her reach, back in La Noscea. She's often caught devoting copious amounts of her own energy to solving others' problems.
What has been your favorite RP moment so far?
They are numerous—it's impossible to choose a single one. Rhesh'ir revealing fragments of his past to Y'lyfriel. The search for a wounded Tahla'li in the depths of the Shroud. The travelers crossing the desert, then doing battle with the Amalj'aa, Ifrit, his tempered Miqo'te. All of the RP has been fantastic; some of the very best I've had.
What was the most shocking RP moment of this year?
When Y'lyfriel shot Amelia in the throat with an arrow. She'd only taken up archery in the past moon, yet her willingness to take such swift, fatal action in defense of someone close to her shocked me.
What is the most surprising thing you discovered about your character?
That Lyf has a glimmer of leadership potential in her; previously, she's been a follower. Someone standing on the sideline of mostly minor events, attempting to make sense of the world around her (and generally overthinking every onze of information that comes to her.) Recently, she's been thinking fast, volunteering for dangerous work, and exhibiting bravery.
What relationships did your character build?
Numerous! She has grown quite close to Rhesh'ir Zhwan, and while she certainly regards him as a trustworthy friend, any further feelings have been confusing, frustrating to her. She's come to regard X'linwh Tia and Tahla'li Tayuun as strong companions, and through X'linwh, she's found some peace with her Sunseeker heritage—though she still has no strong desire to reunited with it.
Onuma Ahntifi and Lotan'to Jiub, too, have made a lasting impression on her. The bond between the Miqo'te couple inspires Y'lyfriel, and she seeks to remain as true to her companions as Onuma and Lotan'to remain to each other.
What are you looking most forward to seeing in the future with your character's growth and story?
I look forward to seeing Y'lyfriel make peace with her Miqo'te heritage. I hope that she might become both more introspective, and more willing to talk about herself. She spends so much energy attempting to navigate and learn the world around her, that her own troubles, her own feelings, are often left an unresolved mess. I would love to see her return to Limsa, carrying her new experiences and new friends back to place that's not as familiar as she remembers it.
Honestly, though, whatever trouble or pleasure she meets will be fun. I'm having a blast with the game, with my friends and fellow Rpers, and see only good things ahead.
