Leih

The sway of the ship was slowly making Leih feel sick beyond reason. She missed being able to use aether, yet she had no option but take the long routes to anywhere she went. Giving up on a swift recovery and not wanting to disturb Ilan, she moved under the deck to curl up for a nap until they arrived to their destination. Closing her eyes, she drifted into sleep almost immediately... The two young Miqo'te curled up closer in a corner of the street, the older white haired girl letting the younger brunette boy sleep against her shoulder. Her red and green eyes watched as the surviving soldiers walked into the city of Ul'dah. It was a strange combination of joy and dread as the survivors met with their families, while the dead were mourned. She did not need any confirmation to know the truth. Looking down at the boy at her side she knew they were alone. Her arm tightened around him. She saw various other children, some of them she knew, run to their fathers, brothers and uncles. Her mind went to the man that had lovingly raised her and later on accepted the boy at her side as family. Not -her- older brother, -their- older brother was dead. Somehow she knew since the day she had saw in horror the 'Calamity' as everyone called it. She felt jealousy at the happy and relieved faces around her. And though she knew there were many others mourning, she had no sympathy for them. All she could think was that now the boy and her were alone. "Sister?" She heard the small boy call her sleepily. Quickly her frown turn into a smile as she looked down. "Hey, O'yhuh! Sorry, it might be hard to sleep with all the noise. Want to go somewhere quiet?" The young male Miqo'te shook his head. "Not until Brother arrives. He will come back... right?" She wanted to tell him the truth bluntly, but the moment she saw his eyes filled with tears her heart broke. "Of course. He's just late... Probably overslept..." She lied, keeping her smile just for his sake. O'yhuh nodded and curled up at her side to sleep. Leih opened her eyes, tears drying on her face. It had been so long since she had dreamed of the past. It wasn't bad, but certainly it wasn't good either. She shook her head, curling back up in the bed roll to sleep. Days in the street turned into weeks and weeks into months. Her sole focus was in keeping O'yhuh alive. Even her own survival was unimportant at this point. That was the reason she was now unable to move, pressed against a wall waiting to die of hunger. She had given her own meals to her younger adoptive brother and the children he kept bringing way too many times. She was about to pass out, finally accepting her fate, when she saw a hand in front of her. It had to be her imagination... right? "Hey, are you okay?" A male voice asked, the hand moving to rest against her cheek. "You look so pale... when was the last time you ate something?" She felt as someone picked her up with ease, not that she was in any way heavy, and walked with her in arms. "Don't die on me, you hear?" Whoever was carrying her had a strange foreign accent and it made her worried. What if he took her away from the city to harm her? Who would care for O'yhuh and the other orphans? They came to a stop and she was softly laid down against a wall, though unlike before she had some protection from the sun. She finally was able to see who had carried her. It was a Hyur boy, maybe a couple of years older, with dark hair and blue eyes. He covered his forehead with a bandana, but otherwise seemed well dressed. The boy had sat in front of her with a bowl of some sort of soup and tried feeding her. "I promise it's not poisoned. You need to eat, right?" She forgot in that moment any common sense and simply ate, never feeling better in her life. After she finished, the boy sat at her side, patting her head softly. "Atta girl. I'm Neo. What's your name?" "... Leih..." She mumbled, unsure how to respond to someone patting her as if she was some sort of pet. Neo smiled. "Don't give up. Things will get better... eventually." The Miqo'te blinked and smiled, though there was nothing real in the smile. "I know!" The boy frowned, flicking her forehead. "I'm serious. You know, you don't have to act happy if you don't feel happy." Blinking at his words, Leih was at loss of any of her own. "Don't worry. I'll take care of you, alright? It's the least I can do..." Leih groaned in annoyance, giving up in her attempts to sleep. Clearly after many years, her past suddenly wanted to constantly remind her of memories she tried to forget as much as possible. She walked back out into the deck, noticing the night sky. Ilan was most likely asleep, as well as any sailor she could talk to. She found a spot where she could sit and just stare at the stars. "Hey Leih, let's get married?" A nineteen years old Neo asked a sixteen years old Leih. The Miqo'te raised her ears. "What? Are you drinking again with that Elezen? I told you, you are a lightweight." "Not that! I mean it. When we're both a bit older. Or well, when you are older. Let's get married, get a big house and adopt all the other orphans." "And where would we get the money, oh great thinker of thinkers?" Leih chuckled. Neo grabbed her hand, pulling her against his chest and hugging her tightly. "Somewhere. Stop worrying so much. It's my job to take care of you, anyway." Despite the years that have passed from his death, Leih could still remember how warm and safe she felt in his arms. "You were always an idiot..." She murmured, noticing a shooting star. "I wish... I wish I could just blurt out my emotions just like you, Neo... I wish you were here to teach me..."

Amzi, the War-Chocobo: Leih's mount that belong to her adoptive brother before her, Amzi is a proud Ishgardian giant bird, towering even over most Roegadyn chocobos (I use the Draught Chocobo for Amzi). He is proud and well trained, yet also protective and prone to grumpy behavior. When it comes to Leih, he seems to be especially aggressive, constantly pecking her head at any given moment, but despite the aggression if the girl is in danger, the bird will jump to protect her and has been known to kill in order to keep his rider alive. Tippy, the Turtle: A gift from Leih's sister figure, Mikiri. Tippy is like all turtles very easy going and calm unless she sees Leih's tail. She tends to bite it... all the time... Ruka, the Chocobo Chick: A tiny chick Leih found alone in the desert. Since then the little baby bird is constantly with her, preferring to hide either in the Miqo'te's clothes or hair. Leih also has a pack of pets from the Gold Saucer, but this are the main three.

Dear DPS I had in one of my groups today: WHEN YOU ARE TOLD TO GO FOR THE ADDS, GO FOR THE ADDS! Thank you. Did a sunken temple twice today. First team was alright. Second team? Dear heavens... We got wiped. 5 times. In SUNKEN TEMPLE and no one was new to it! And I kept yelling, since I was the tank, for them to GO FOR THE DAMN ADDS in the last boss over and over again. There were so many of those bright rays that my eyes actually started to hurt, so I had to do tank and DPS. Ugh... I don't want to see how much armor damage I have to pay now...

I would like to reserve a spot on the waiting list too if possible!

I have to use it for a different part of the fight T_T Sounds like the talk of a quitter. Hidoi, Aaron-kun. Yeah well I don't know what that means! So yeah, take that. Hidoi: Japanese word that means 'Awful' or 'How cruel' If you don't know the meaning of -kun, I don't know how you have survived in the internet. *Goes back to her summer HW.*

Can I join the line too? *Kitty eyes.*

First of all, welcome back! Second, yay more Ishgard people! My Miqo'te Leih was raised by an Ishgardian, so its a place close to heart I'm usually running around in-game at different hours, so if you see me don't hesitate to poke me. I have a policy of RP beats PVE (I'm never reaching 60, I know x.x) and usually RP in Thanalan since my poor kitten is stuck there. She's always happy to meet Ishgardians! Unless they are certain Elezen who knows what he did >_>

I claim full responsibility for bringing Aty around! Please be nice to them since we've been friends for over three years Don't make me sic Leih on you >_> Also, Chip, you are also an ex-SWTOR? O,O Didn't know.

I have actually thought this before: Leih sees Cloud... Leih gets close... Leih pokes Cloud's hair. "How does your hair do this?! Did you know you look like a Chocobo, mister? Why are you so broody? How can you fight with that huge sword? You kinda look like a girl... You should try wearing a dress. Maybe people would think you are a girl." I leave to other people's imagination how Cloud reacts to a little hyper cat girl asking him/commenting so much randomly.

1. Panda 2. Bluebird 3. Fat Cat 4. Morpho 5. Owlet 6. Tabard 7. Calca 8. Orchestrion Thanks so much for this event :3

Leih would be a Pichu. Though mostly cause of the Pichu brothers and the fact that Pichu supposedly can't control its power/strength. For Altani Olkund, I would say Lopunny Extremely cautious, it quickly bounds off when it senses danger. And for Araki... Absol~ It senses coming disasters and appears before people only to warn them of impending danger.

I want How much is it?!

Leih: Little catgirl raised by random stranger-turn to-brother to follow in his footsteps while escaping from a big baddy enemy that killed her mommy and daddy. Altani Olkund: Fall in love, guy gets killed, give birth to guy's kid and has to work for mysterious patron to keep kid safe.

OOC I like romances and find them fun. Though I really like when they are natural to the story and not forced. Character chemistry is very important. On the player to player basis, there has to be some trust between players and also respect in the fact that our characters are the ones in a relationship. Not us. So, being friends is okay. More than that, nope. Leih is a hyperactive sweet girl with an independent personality, within her means since she's a slave without the title... She's also very trusting. She is more prone to see people as sibling figures than romantic partners, so if she is romanced it has to be someone who gets to know her well enough. And probably someone that can counteract her hyperactivity and trusting personality. Also someone willing to take it slow with her. Altani Olkund.... well... er... She doesn't trust anyone and avoids getting close to people. So... yeah... Not seeing a future romantic life possible. That's my take on romances and my characters'.

I like the idea. I mean, it needs to be set with rules and I imagine there has to be a division between terrestrial and aerial mounts, but with the right rules it could be fun. *Gets her chocobo some armor.*

Leih with Papa Heidrek Leih when it comes to everyone:

Considering that Ulta sold out in five minutes, I don't know if I trust that I can get it the next day. :cry: Hmmm.... Yeah... :< Maybe buying online when they re-stock?

You can get it the day after! I usually keep a little bit of money separated for make-up emergencies and I gotta admit I'm getting it. That palette is one of the few I can wear that don't make me look like I have excessive make-up due my skin color. :

Welcome around Hopefully we can meet in-game. Though I warn you, if it happens expect a lot of questions from a curious Mi'qote :3

Heidrek when it comes to Leih:

Leih's guilty pleasure is reading horror books and getting scared. No idea why, though might be to use her ubber cute scared face to get more food.

(Using the same thread as to not create a ton of them) Dear Big Brother, I found the journal you gave me for my birthday before you left. It made me really happy since I thought it was lost, but it was still in our house. Well, it's not our house anymore. Mister Jijita took it, but its okay. I found a new home. It's not as nice and its not really a house. Remember the cave near the pond you took me often to play? Well, I'm sort of living there. I don't think you would like that, but well, it could be worst. I've been working really hard to pay the debt. I know you didn't want to leave me that, but it's not your fault, so don't be sad. I'm actually happy since this way I can take care of the other children that owe money. I'm the only one that can fight after all. Oh! There's this thing call the Grindstone and I've been participating a lot. It's a fighting tournament of sorts and I've gotten far a few times. Still not too far, but I keep trying. I know if you were here you would be the winner all the time. I also made some new friends. I think you would really like them. One of them is called Drauvault. He's a pirate. Which I don't think you would like, but it's okay, he's good. He invited me to his wedding and it was really pretty. I wonder how mine would be? If I ever get married. I haven't met anyone like that yet. There's also Kel'ari. He's... weird. He's very violent, but I don't think he's really evil. I just think he never knew something else other than violence. It's okay, though. I like talking to him anyway. And there's also Heidrek. I think you would like him the best. He's really strong and protective. Like a dad. I actually started calling him that. I hope that's okay with you, big brother. And I hope its okay with my real dad. I really like it because it means I have two dads I can count on. How is things where you are? Is it nice? Have you met my mom and dad? I wonder if they miss me. I miss them, even if I can't remember. And I miss you too a lot, big brother. I should get back to work, or else I might get in trouble again. I promise I'll write soon again. Love, Leih P.S. I lost your armor and lance, so I'm sorry. I promise I'll try to get it back.

Leih's style is mostly an agile lancer form. Since she's small and light on her feet, she tries to avoid as much as she can and depending on her enemies depends where she attacks. Against fighters she notice that they need a more stable footing, she goes for the legs. Shield and sword? Arms. Magic? She tries to keep close so their spellcasting is limited by the fear of harming themselves and so she can do some heavy melee hits. And when she fights beasts she tries to see what is their advantage and disadvantages against her. This is mostly from having to learn to survive and one key factor on that was gaining the skill to measure her opponents, be it in a battle or when trying to steal.

Welcome :3 People here tend to be really nice, so don't worry too much on that account! If you need help with roleplay and the game, just send me a message to my character Leih Rhun. I'm also sort of new in FFXIV, though I RP before in SWTOR and LOTRO. I'll be glad to help in any way I can.:moogle:

Since my phone is busted, I'll work with what is saved in my computer. Though now I have pixie cut.
