Hey haven't been in the rp scene in forever so wanted to get back. Does my characters background make sense or need improvements? Let me know ^^
Opal was a bright cunning girl as a child. She learned how to make clothing from her mother, and fight with a sword from her father. Her attitude and true personality made her unpopular with other kids, lowering her self esteem, taking on a fake personality to be more loved. She also had the ability to manipulate aether. This power would overwhelm her and cause accidents so she kept it hidden most of the time.
At the age of 10, She was helping her mother set up a kiosk in a nearby bustling town when one day a man tried scamming her mother out of her best works. Annoyed, Opal tripped up his leg causing him to fall, demanding he leave. Only to have the same trick done seconds later by the man. Turning out to be a red mage, he admired her spunk and raw power in aether manipulation. He offered to pass on his knowledge in return for the outfits. Opal spent the second half of her training in Eorzea, since her mentor “missed the scantily clad Miqo'te”.
She learned to control her aether and the aether around her sufficiently enough however since most of her training centered around aether, and little training with the rapier. She has a hard time adjusting to a rapier considering her previous training with a basic sword from her father. Due to her impatience she can easily summon powerful spells but also struggles with her aim. Making her more effective in close combat. While she rarely dabbles in mercenary work due to her unpredictable skill, she's more comfortable at scamming and occasionally working on clothing for clients.
