• She never uses her last name in public.
  
• Despite her leadership roles, in a lot of ways she is very socially inept.
  
• She will rebuke most, if all not all, efforts to initiate romance but will go after a romantic interest she has in another with sometimes embarrassingly misplaced vigor.
  
• She is largely unaware of the Miqo body language she telegraphs as she was raised with Hyurs.
  
• She can be terrible at explaining herself and admitting things, often leading to misunderstandings with those close to her.
  
• She's more at comfortable in tense negotiations with hands on weapons than she is at a social gathering.
  
• Her stubbornness knows no bounds. She IS right.
  
• She's scared of Yarzons
  
• She has an active mental disorder.
  
  

• Has along running habit of eating spoiled food, she'll even go so far as to preference it when available. Her explanation for the strange liking is that it builds up stomach strength while additionally making the most out of every little scrap of food. Really it's just luck that she hasn't gotten sick from it yet.
  

• Asfar as personality quirks go, she has a habit of making her statements sound like questions. It doesn’t happen with everyone though. People she’s familiar with are fine, so long as they can handle her pretty blunt personality and occasional dark humour. Anyone outside of that group though? That’s where the ‘avoid a direct statement’ comes into play, it’s her way of being polite.
  

• Also has a mild fear of chocobos. With a ship you know more-or-less what you’re dealing with. A giant horse-bird with a mind of its own? Who knows what’ll happen.

It's very fun to read about! 

Sharing:

- Jancis grew up mostly on her own out in the wild of the Shroud. Her habits and words do not follow current culture 100%; she will use odd terms and not understand idioms.
- Wearing pants her entire childhood, she compensates for typical 'style' by wearing leggings.
- Loves fictional books about anything! Currently a company friend has given her a copy of one of his personally written romantic novels.
- As part of her training, she will purposefully poison herself with a variety of things to build up immunity.
- Apologizes constantly.
- Tends to be hands-on with people, touching their arm or shoulder, and does not understand the concept of personal space.

• Typically seeks shelter in cramped, enclosed spaces, like caves and dense foliage.  (Very similar to a cat's "if I fits, I sits" mentality)
  
• Has an almost mortal fear of formal/upper class parties.
  
• Quite fond of the sound of running water, and can be rendered unconscious by the sound of rain.
  
• Also fond of heights and climbing.  But not so fond of getting down.
  
• Uneasy around official looking officials, officially on duty.
  
• Defaults to politeness when uneasy/outside her comfort zone.
  

• Often goes to scratch his chin whenever he is contemplating something to himself.
  
• Has a tendency to inspect a room he is to stay in, even when there's no justification for it.
  
• He's sometimes stumped to find words in casual conversation, which can lead to awkward pauses.
  
• He often spends a bit of his free time riding about on his chocobo.
  
• Meta never downs his drinks and often nurses the first one he orders until it's time to leave.
  

• Dislikes being called C'eleni, unless for official purposes. Prefers Eleni, and will ask people to call her that.
  
• Has an insanely insatiable sweet tooth, and she has these cravings for sweet stuff that often makes her very cranky. 
  
• Absoultely loves rain, but hates and is frightened of thunderstorms.
  
• Has a habit of blurting things out loud, and then regretting it. She's trying hard to control this habit.
  
• Purrs, literally, like a little kitten, when she's very happy or satisfied. Of course, people are yet to see this! 
  
• Has an obsession with chocobos, and completely and unconditionally loves her bird, Mimi, who she considers a best friend. Loves to pet chocobo necks.
  
• Has a big phobia of heights.
  

• Does not like fish. Having to help clean/gut them for her father most of her childhood has permanently ruined her appetite for them. She would never confess this openly if fish were served at some formal occasion however.
  
• Her true voice has a heavy Ala'Mhigan accent. She has learned to suppress this, but sometimes it slips out (mostly when drunk or very upset).
  
• She has never actually killed anyone as of this post. (voidsent do not count)
  
• She does not carry or use a shield unless going into a large-scale battle.
  

• Assigns nicknames to people on occasion, especially if they are annoyed by said nickname.
  
• Likes building things, dabbles in clockwork.
  
• Mildly claustrophobic
  
• Was originally going to colour his hair red but was concerned it would be mistaken for blood
  
• Prefers wearing gloves and feels uncomfortable without them due to unpleasant memories of ropeburn (sailing is hard!)
  
• Every pair of earrings he owns has a tiny bell built in or near them for the jingle.
  
• Practises speaking to prevent a Limsan accent from developing (he thinks people will find it unattractive)

This post sounds like an article about a teen star from Big Bopper/Tiger Beat/generic teen crush fandom magazine.

This edition has a poster in the middle of Nero with his quirks and facts.
