Character InfoMy Miqo'te Seeker of the Sun's name is N'arysha Eshir. Going by the N denoting her belonging to the Aldgoat Tribe, which are creatures found in rocky, mountainous regions, I assumed it's feasible the tribe (or a portion of it) could be located near Ul'dah, the city in which my character started. I couldn't find lore information on the known locations of the Miqo'te Seeker tribes, but I know that they represent their tribes by an animal said to protect the tribe.

She was sired by a Miqo'te who only became a nunh by luck; he was not incredibly strong, but he was boastful, arrogant, and egotistic, and took advantage of the previous nunh by challenging him after hearing rumors of him falling ill, rumors kept mostly guarded. Many other members of the tribe knew nothing of the nunh's illness and assumed that N'eshir had won by skill alone, letting him hold his position for several years.

Discovering this truth with her very inquisitive nature led to N'arysha being ashamed of not only her sire, pushed back into the position of tia during her teenage years, but her tribe as a whole. She was appalled that N'eshir had not been held accountable for exploiting the previous nunh's illness for his own self-gain. So few members of the tribe knew of this, but they choice to stay quiet; N'arysha could not see the logic in this.

She is just shy of 20 years of age now and has spent roughly the past four years studying with the Thaumaturges' Guild in Ul'dah, maintaining the respect of her peers by carefully-practiced solitude and devotion to her studies. She's a bit reclusive and seems cold, still a bit wary of other people even after four years in the city, but she holds a particular bit of respect for the Lalafell in light of her Guildmaster being one.

Her other personality traits, especially being so young, are a general ignorance in regards to the world (this helps me better ease into the lore, but hopefully does not make me seem lazy about it, because to counterbalance this I seek to get into the lore of magic for her in-character knowledge). She's a bit quick-tempered and proud; she hates being wrong and holds high faith in her knowledge of all things related to the workings of the world.

For her character, I would love, aside from any advice or feedback, and be as blunt as needed or ask any questions to find out if I've considered certain things, I would love any lore resources on the world's magic. I haven't fully decided her goals beyond her understanding as much of it as can be known, possibly discovering something new and being credited for it (possible RP plots?) and finding her place in the world (maybe a given)

AnswersShe left her tribe. How does she feel about that?
She feels stubbornly prideful about leaving. She now suffers the loneliness of it, but she's too proud to do anything other than stand by her view that her tribe was wrong to knowingly allow someone to take advantage of an illness for self-gain. But she has spent some of her time alone wondering if, in the grand scheme of the world, if it's truly wrong to do whatever one must do to have a place in the world. It's an internal conflict of sorts. The truth about her leaving could have been in the heat of anger, a rash decision, as she's still young, very temperamental by nature, and simply immature. I'd be happy to think more about this question. That's just my immediate answer without thinking "too hard" about it.

Who is she close to, now that she's living in Ul'dah?
I was honestly going to let this be open to connections, if maybe someone wanted to play the part of a guild-mate in the Thaumaturges' Guild, but I was also going with her having not developed any incredibly close friendships and being reclusive. I've considered maybe she has come to tolerate a guild-mate enough that she has a roommate for ease of living, unless guild members have a set living place that is paid for. If not, I would dabble with an NPC character roommate.

How does she feel about men, in light of her revelations of her father?
Men are not entirely a problem for her. He was a fool, but she was never hurt or abused by a man personally, so hating men would not feel justified to me. She's more skeptical of other tias in the sense of the culture of the Seekers, so she is more likely to befriend Keepers than Seekers when it comes to males. She ignorantly assumes all tias are bound by a selfish aspiration to be a nunh just for the glory or gather the support of enough females to lead their own tribe. It would be difficult for male Seekers to befriend her without a lot of work.

How much is she willing to put herself out in order to gain new knowledge?
I guess this is a matter of deciding if she's more practical than stubborn. I figured I would get a feel for that through RP, but if she is more stubborn, she might have a reckless edge leading to her facing danger to learn things. If she's more practical, I may go the route of her "using" people to help do her work for her, having them distract such things as angry monsters while she gathers a desired material or what have you. Frankly, I don't foresee myself going the "using people" route because beneath her distant personality, she is empathetic and doesn't believe in exploiting anyone for her own gain, as hating what she saw of her sire. She would likely just get herself hurt getting something she wants.

What does she do when she's not studying?
This is where I'm stuck because I haven't considered her hobbies. Saying she likes to read seems too cliche to me. I'm very tempted to have her have a love of plants/botany that might help spark her having good reason to end up traveling to other areas, where would likely find more plants to use as alchemy materials and whatnot. But she may also like to sew/knit. I can't decide if picking both would be too much or if I should just choose one.
