Jet'a may be serious and generally detached, but he has a soft spot when it comes to kids, especially little girls as they remind him of someone. Maybe he'll notice her next time he comes to Ul'dah to sell his potions^^
Currently it's been two days since she was abandoned here in Ul'dah. The first night the Thaumaturge guild let her stay with them. She began asking around properly the next day. She has made a few friends, but there has been no signs of her mother. She is currently staying at the Quicksand for the night.
She is very innocent and though very smart for her age she still doesn't understand her own situation. She can seem a little optimistic, but her optimism is slowly fading with each passing day. She is proud of her abilities however little feats they may be. She can get quite excited over simple things. She seems to understand most things, but there is still a lot she doesn't know.
I actually made myself cry when I was rping her... the fact she was searching thinking she would eventually her mother, and she would go back to her own life was... heart breaking.
Some odd things.
She describes her mother as a tall woman with black hair and long ears. She also said her mother was Elezen. The truth in the matter is she was adopted by this woman, who eventually abandoned her. Her true Dunesfolk mother is unknown.
If anyone wants to rp with her she is usually around the Quicksand asking people if they have seen her "Mommy" or send me a message in game.
To be an interesting, intriguing, well-written character, there needs to be something to allow the audience to relate to them. That is what the problem is with who wants their character to be "perfect". Perfect characters will never be strong, and strong characters will never be perfect, because WE (those who read, who watch, who RP) are not perfect.
