Anyone with a couple of brain cells is aware that Black Mages are the most effective warriors on the battlefield. Smart, witty, beautiful... The list goes on. Really, the only reason Black Mages keep those other classes around is for heals and meatshields to keep them nice and safe while they rain fiery death upon their enemies.
Enter Estabella Malvrin, an Elezen Duskwight who isn't a Black Mage quite yet. She's merely a lowly Thaumaturge whose first great display of magical prowess was that time she accidentally burned her left eye to a crisp. This cross-eyed mage has the ego of a supreme spell slinger but none of the skill to match. The last thing she thought she needed was a traveling companion, but a number of near death experiences with giant turtles has changed her mind.
For the low, low price of absolutely nothing, you could be the lackey and guinnea pig for a self-important, egotistical, condescending Duskwight whose hobbies include doing any (ANY) odd job for gil, mastering the magical arts, and tormenting those Gods damned Lalafells. A tank is the most obvious choice, but a sufficiently obedient DPS can suffice. Inquiries about her cave aka FORMER (huge  emphasis here) home are absolutely off limits.Â
What I'm hopin' to do.
-Write an awful person who develops into someone less awful.
-Have some lighthearted IC shenanigans.
-Write a Black Mage the way they should all be written: as assholes.Â
-Make someone work for that sweet, sweet character development.
