Spoiler1.What is your full name?
"Ethne Lancaster. It's nice to meet you!"
2.Where and when were you born?
"Um, I'm not sure about the exact details, actually! I'm sorry."
3.Who are/were your parents? (Know their names, occupations, personalities, etc.)
"Ah, that's not a very nice story to tell."
4.Do you have any siblings? What are/were they like?
"None!"
5.Where do you live now, and with whom? Describe the place and the person/people.
"I live... well, I suppose you could say I live in Gridania, but I really don't have a fixed home anywhere. I rent a room sometimes in Gridania to study conjury."
6.What is your occupation?
"I guess you could call it healer-for-hire? Not really a fixed job, I go where healing is needed."
7.Write a full physical description of yourself. You might want to consider factors such as: height, weight, race, hair and eye color, style of dress, and any tattoos, scars, or distinguishing marks.
"Chin-length hair, I like to keep it short, easier to manage! I braid some of it. I'm pretty small, I think, for a Midlander? You'd probably be able to describe me better than I can, really."
8.To which social class do you belong?
"I don't know, I suppose lower class? Not really a ton of income."
9.Do you have any allergies, diseases, or other physical weaknesses?
"Yes, I'm blind. Well, mostly blind, I think. I'm actually not sure what it is that I see, or if I can see at all. It's a little hard to explain. The conjurers at the guild said it might be related to the flow of aether, but... nobody's very sure, really. I know I can't see myself to describe myself, at least!"
10. Are you right- or left-handed?
"I'm right-handed."
11. What does your voice sound like?
"Oh, soft, I think, very feminine, I rarely yell, I try to speak clearly."
12. What words and/or phrases do you use very frequently?
"I don't know... oh, I guess I say 'I don't know' a lot? And 'I guess', maybe? Oh, 'maybe', I think? And 'I think'? Do I sound that unsure...?"
13. What do you have in your pockets?
"Hmm... a few gil, a needle, a spool of hempen yarn, and a handful of herbs."
14. Do you have any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics?
"I suppose being blind is a defining characteristic? It sets me apart from most people. I think they get annoyed that I need to touch things to recognize them, but I can't really help that. I learned to ask first."
"Ethne Lancaster. It's nice to meet you!"
