Moon Type

One of Madame Pholnaset's legit talents is animal charming (snakes and rats especially) so I'm trying to put together a special street performer costume which will also serve as an OOC cosplay of the Pied Piper.

Phane's outfits often reflect and celebrate the colours and features of Thavnair. She's especially fond of donning various shades of purple and incorporating Giantsgall into clothing and tools. Phane wears many masks but her love for Thavnair and its people rings true.

In some parts of Ul'dah this could be considered one of her more socially acceptable outfits. As a con artist with a lot of debt, and constantly on the run from Johnny Law, Madame Pholnasest is a master of disguise! She wears outfits like this to blend into wealthy communities where few would think to look for her. And if she plays her cards right she can rope in a few marks while she's there.

This outfit fits squarely between 'rogue of the seas' and 'card reader who will skip town before your fortune has a chance to not come true.'

Madame Pholnaset is fond of wearing this while peddling her questionable kitsch products. The imitation gold details cause more impressionable customers to think she has amassed a small fortune of goods during her travels. Her often gaudy collection of wares includes everything from cheap perfume to replicas of famous (or fabricated) artifacts often passed off as being genuine.

This outfit is designed to make her seem more worldly and well traveled than she is. If ever pressed for information on a robe or earring she's acquired from a distant land she'll likely claim that The Calamity robbed her of some of her memories, even though that's not how it works.

Although a favorite pastime of Madame Pholnaset she's not nearly as proficient in archery as her sister Viridian. She believes her magical abilities have placed her beyond the reliance on such a crude form of offence and usually engages in archery for mere sport. Viridian has deep rooted issues with her sister's reckless indulgence concerning magic use and doesn't even trust herself with the practice of it. It's for this and a score of other reasons that the two avoid one another.

This outfit is Madame Pholnaset's knock-off Blue Mage garment that she alleges comes from The New World. And of course, because this is Madame Pholnaset, the outfit is glitzy and over-the-top. ^ ^ So why is Madame Pholnaset doing this? The reason is that she needs new rare and exotic goods to imitate and sell. She used to get by faking items from Ishgard and Doma and few were the wiser, but when trade opened with those city states, and their associated territories, products from those lands became more common. Consumers also became more savvy with regards to authenticity and fair pricing. This cost Madame Pholnaset quite a bit of business so now Madame Pholnaset is peddling counterfeit exotics from The New World.
