Virara is not the sentimental sort, thus when she holds onto something, it is often unconscious, or simply because it was a gift and she's trying to be respectful, with a few notable exceptions.

Eyepatch: An oddly shaped eyepatch. It is made from several strips of goatskin leather and a few bronze fittings, and some soft cotton cloth. Virara made this herself when she was young in imitation of her Master. She continues to wear it as if doing so is self-evident, but rarely thinks of it in symbolic terms, like whether or not it represents a connection between the two of them, or is a sign of her desire for them to face each other again.

Adamantoise Shell Hora: Made by someone very important to her. Virara knows that as robust as it is, under her full strength the intricately crafted and finely lacquered hora would be scratched or possibly even broken, so she avoids using them for actual combat or training. They're clearly made with an eye for functionality as well as highly individualized aesthetics, the work of someone extremely skilled.

Peach Blossom Earrings: Given to her by the first girl she could consider a close friend. They are crafted from finely tooled pieces of rose quartz arrayed in a pattern with silver wire that makes them almost resemble real peach blossoms. They appear to be quite expensive, and clash with Virara's typical functional and boyish manner of dress. Although apricot blossoms are a more familiar sight to her, she finds herself treasuring these rarely-worn pieces of jewelry almost unconsciously.

Arrowhead Earrings: Of significantly less sentimental value, these are simple earrings that are made from steel arrowheads, and the first jewelry she ever owned. Obviously, despite being made from arrowheads, they're not sharp and can't be used for combat. The inner part has metal removed and hollowed out so as not to be too heavy on the ears. However, Virara has soft (both naturally and from being beaten about the head too much) ears that naturally droop very slightly, so it does at times give that impression if not worn very close to the head.

Hair ribbons: Plain scarlet hair ribbons made of cotton. They are of no value at all and can be found practically everywhere. Virara, however, will not change her hairstyle, nor remove the ribbons, as both were given to her by Master. The thought of doing anything else is totally out of consideration for her.

Val · **04-21-2015, 04:04 AM**

Val's daggers, while otherwise considered simple and plain by most people, have been with him since Limsa. They hold a special meaning to him, though he's never spoken about it to anyone.

While not necessarily a trinket, Melfice's scar along his face is something he absolutely refuses to have healed or modified. It means the world to him.Â

Cyrus' armor, while otherwise shoddy and beaten up, is a family heirloom passed down to him from his mother.

Gegenji · **04-21-2015, 07:45 AM**

Chachan has had a trinket he's carried with him since his creation - his cactaur earring.

As has oft been alluded to in RP and other things, it's a memento left by his brother before leaving to pursue his own dreams. Due to the lack of contact - and the razing of Doma - it is effectively the only thing he has left to remind him of his older brother. Whenever he talks about his brother, or even thinks about Gogonji, he tends to fiddle and play with it unconsciously. He's also rather protective of it, for obvious reasons.

Gogonji, of course, maintains the other half of the pair - but it's more of a morbid keepsake. After all, he believes his family is dead, so the earring is all that he has left of them beyond his memories. He's still just as protective of it - if not moreso.

Hammersmith · **04-21-2015, 07:54 AM**

Hammer's got a set of brass earrings he keeps highly polished and worn any time they're not being cleaned and cared for.

What that means is anyone's guess.

He also keeps knives from people he ends up killing in notable fights. There's a big collection of them by this point, each one has a story. Sometimes he's carrying several of them on him.

Qhora Bajihri · **04-21-2015, 12:25 PM**

Two small rusty keys. She knows who they belonged to and theoretically what they unlock, but not how they came into her possession. Every time she tries to throw them away they do the whole creepy-doll-show-up-again trope, so she's just given up and they're usually pocketed or in the side of her boot.

One knife, plain. She had plans for the knife and might still have plans for it, so it never gets far from her person.

One dodo earring. Not a gift, but a memorial of sorts nonetheless. Plus, I love how its hilarity offsets her perpetual angry gloomface.

One Tipping Scales ring. For her, it's like a sort of years-of-service award. She doesn't usually wear it and leaves it at home, but considers it a keepsake nonetheless.

U'roh Tia · **04-22-2015, 12:53 AM**

His Halberd. U'roh was given that Colbolt Halberd as a parting gift from his mentor, one of her old spears. He carries that thing everywhere and it has been his weapon ever since he had started adventuring, almost always kept in good condition.

As well as a hand crafted gold ring, reminder of his beloved.

Coatleque · **04-27-2015, 05:24 PM**

Coatleque has a plain ring carved from a seashell that was given to her by someone from her past. It shows signs of passing through fire at some point, and a crack which has been repaired. She keeps it in a small wooden container by her bedside.

She has also obtained a scorched and somewhat melted locket which belongs to someone she cares for. She intends to have it restored when she is able and return it to him if possible.

Renata Lynn · **04-29-2015, 02:05 PM**

Renata's mother had a shawl from when she would enter the fighting ring. Renata always wears it. Unless she's in Coerthas. It's too cold for that. She also has a red coral ring that her mother gave her, that she has only ever taken off once.

Desu Nee · **04-29-2015, 02:20 PM**

Quki has a grimoire with a leather cover, which she always with her. It belonged to her mother, which she left behind when she divorced from her father. She carries it in hope to giving back to her.

D'aito Kuji · **04-30-2015, 11:14 PM**

D'aito Kuji has a ring that belonged to her sire, Kuji Nuhn. Â While D'aito was not especially close to her sire, she keeps the ring to remind her of what she lost when he was illegitimately overthrown by Kujo Tia. Â D'aito was close to Kujo Tia who had taken a special interest her. Â Kujo helped educate D'aito and encouraged her adventurous ways, teaching her many useful skills. Â It became increasingly clear that his interest in D'aito was romantic. Â After she rejected him multiple times, he swore revenge and poisoned the Nuhn before challenging him for the right to become Nuhn.

D'aito was not impressed to say the least.

After discovering that D'aito knew about the illegitimacy of his position, Kujo suspected that she would reveal the secret to the tribe. Â But D'aito understood that without a Nuhn, the tribe would become unstable and more damage could be done by that than by keeping the secret. Â D'aito would keep Kujo's secret as long as she was allowed to leave. Â But Kujo was not satisfied and tried to have her killed, fearing that he could not best her in combat. Â After threatening her sisters, D'aito Kuji ran away and sneaked onto a merchant's caravan and made her way to the coast. Â She stowed away on a ship bound for parts unknown.

She swore revenge on Kujo Nuhn and she keeps her sire's ring to remind her.

Edda · **05-01-2015, 01:03 AM**

Edda only has a few precious trinkets that can't actually be replaced. The first is her family ring with her initials inscribed on the inner band. There are four others that are exactly like it that have been re-purposed throughout generations of her family. It is essentially priceless.

Second is a small herb satchel made by her brother for her 16th nameday, with her middle initial sewn on it. Worthless, but high sentimental value.

Third is a pearl bracelet made to fit a child's wrist. A gift from her brother from when he visited Limsa Lominsa, shortly after she was forbid from leaving home.

None of these items are currently in her possession. RIP.

TheLastCandle · **05-01-2015, 01:08 AM**

Yvelont has his brother's signet ring, which he carries with him at all times. He also has a preserved lily that he bears in a pendant, given to him by someone very important, symbolizing their house. That's about it, really. At least until he reclaims the family sword.

Erik Mynhier · **05-01-2015, 01:31 AM**

Erik keeps with him a small children's storybook. The book was a scholastic copy of the book and so each page of story is followed by a blank page for notes. The book is almost a hundred years old and the blank pages have acted as journal for three generations. The book holds thoughts, events, secrets, and special knowledge, as well as his favorite childhood story.

ArmachiA · **05-01-2015, 05:52 AM**

Oh goodness, Armi is so sentimental... Let's see, she doesn't have a trinket per say but a lot of different objects that she keeps... some of these things are gone now from a fire, but she managed to keep most of them.

A page of a book of Miqote folk songs - Lost in the fire, it was a book of Miqote folk songs from the X tribe, handwritten, bound, and given to her by a dear friend of hers - someone she considers her best friend though their relationship is... complicated. The person who gave her the book, in essence, no longer exists, though he still lives and, before the fire, it used to be a reminder of who he was. She only managed to find one page in the ashes, it now resides in her journal.

Bookmark - Safely tucked in an old book of different plants, it was given to her by her ex-boyfriend and now sometimes friend (Depending on the day). She had thought she lost it but found it after the fire stashed away in the book she saved. Armi misses the person she used to know, and she keeps the bookmark as a reminder. She has thought to ask to give it back, but she's worried he would take it offensively.

"Alo" - It's a book. An old book. An old book about plants. And it's falling apart and ratty as hell. And it has a name. It's name is Alo. It's the first thing she saved in the fire and a constant reminder of the first time she ever really fell in love. It isn't hers. Not really. Just like him. It was never hers. She's just taking care of it for now.

Burned Up Sword Handle - It was a sword, but the fire melted it and the blade fell off, with nothing but a handle remaining. She couldn't bring herself to throw it away, she isn't sure why. There's flashes of a person when she looks at it. Someone she remembers, but someone that feels like a stranger at the same time. The memories are there, but it feels like it happened to someone else, like she's completely detached from them. There's a dullness to the ache, but the ache is there none the less. She can't throw it away. She... can't. She cried once when she tried, so she stopped. She doesn't know why she cried, but she does... She's pretty sure she misses them. But it's static in her head.

These are only for past memories, this isn't even the list of current objects she has of people she's still close to.

Fox · **05-01-2015, 07:39 AM**

C'sien has a few little things. She doesn't keep a lot of personal items, being an adventurer and what not.

-A pair of glasses with little magnifiers; this has actually gotten her nicknamed "Goggles" by old friends- so she cherishes them pretty closely..
-Monocle mostly because she thinks it's cute, even if she does need both eyes. Nothing very sentimental about this piece, other than she likely was mimicking her teacher.
-Bomb plushie that Lakin got her at the last summer festival. Pretty sentimental to her even if it's just a little plush, considering her friendship with him.
-Various alchemical bits and bobs, containers, vials, etc usually on her person. They used to belong to her teacher, mentor; they were passed down to her.

She keeps tomes, books, those sorts of things but they're not always on her person so I wouldn't consider them trinkets. But that's about it I think. There might be one or two more things but I can't recall right off hand. She does not, however, keep any sort of trinket from her immediate family-tribe as she left them years back.
