APPEARANCE AND BODY PERCEPTION
Describe the character's height and build. Is she heavyset, thin, short, rangy?
Very short, just barely topping 4'3, and very slim and svelte for someone with her strength. her bust slider is maxed out.

How old is she?
a lady never tells~

But she appears to be somewhere in the range of very early 20s or very late teens. When asked about her age, she's generally evasive and vague.

Describe her posture. Does she carry herself well, or does she slouch?
Chin up, back straight, and great, confident strides. It's a almost peppy swagger.

How is her health? Is she fit or out of shape? Any illnesses or conditions? Any physical disabilities?
One of those people who never, ever seem to get sick even for a day. She's incredibly strong despite her diminutive appearance due to her main job class as a Warrior, but she sure doesn't look like it.

Also seemingly indestructible, as she can keep on going through wounds and situations that would lay any other normal person down, but that may also be due to her stubborn steak.

How does she move? Is she clumsy, graceful, tense, fluid?
Very fluidly and sure, she takes quick steps and makes swift movements. When she gets overly-excited she tends to occasionally trip over her own feet since she's not as careful or paying much attention to where she's placing them.

How attractive is this character physically? How does she perceive herself in the mirror?
She comes across as very attractive to a majority of people, and she likes to think of herself as a 10 out of 10.

Describe her complexion: dark, light, clear, scarred?
Very fair and very clear; she tries her best to make sure her injuries they don't leave scars.

Describe her hair: color, texture, style.
Long and black; despite looking thick and full, it's soft and silky to the touch. She usually keeps cut simply, and it hangs all the way down her back.

What color are her eyes?
Blue.

Does the character have any other noteworthy features?
She has no ears and instead the horns at the side of her head pick up sound for her. They're just as sensitive to touch and sensations like a normal human's ear. There are white scales on her body, most noticeably clustered along her arms, the side of her face, and her legs. In addition, she has a long, thin scaly tail.

What are her chief tension centers?
She likes to pretend she doesn't have any, but her neck and shoulders.

What is the character's wardrobe like? Casual, dressy, utilitarian? Bright colors, pastels, neutrals? Is it varied, or does she have six of the same suit?
Her wardrobe ranges from casual to dressy, and there's a certain sense of style to each outfit she wears. She likes to wear things that accentuates her body or draws attention to her most attractive physical features (aside from her face, of course) like her legs.

Do her clothes fit well? Does she seem comfortable in them?
They fit a little too well, to be honest. She enjoys showing off her body and enjoys people looking at her.

It's pretty obvious that she's very comfortable in her clothes and skin.

Does she dress the same on the job as she does in her free time? If not, what are the differences?
She dresses slightly more conservatively when she's fighting... But only just barely. Although if she really has no choice, she'll wear the damn tin can armor. She's not going to be happy about it though, and she'll make sure everyone knows.

You knew it was coming: what kind of underwear does she wear, if any?
A BETTER QUESTION WOULD BE WHAT DOESN'T SHE HAVE AS UNDERWEAR. But her underwear of choice are side-tie panties.

SPEECH
What does this character's voice sound like? High-pitched, deep, hoarse?
A pleasantly high-pitched feminine tone, although it teeters on the ear-piercing side when she gets really worked up or excited.

How does she normally speak? Loud, soft, fast, evenly? Does she talk easily, or does she hesitate?
She speaks without hesitation, her voice as clear as a bell. She's not exactly loud but she's not exactly soft-spoken, but she can get shrill when upset.

Does the character have a distinct accent or dialect? Any individual quirks of pronunciation? Any, like, you know, verbal tics?
There are no verbal ticks, but her tail is more expressive than she'd like. Sometimes it'll even 'wag' if she's really happy, which is really embarrassing for her.

What language(s) does she speak and with how much fluency?
Unsure; I'm going to just use 'english' as the general universal language of eorzea and her world in general but separate languages haven't really come up aside from Ascian and Draconian. I wouldn't be surprised if she did know how to speak the FFXIV-verse version of Japanese however.

Does she switch languages or dialects in certain situations?
Nope. In fact, if it weren't for her name and the fact that she's a non-eorzea race, no one would even know that she's a foreigner.

Is she a good impromptu speaker, or does she have to think about her words?
Is she ready to launch into a impromptu speech at any moment? Yes. Is it going to be a good speech? Well, probably not. But she's not afraid of talking on the spot.

Is she eloquent or inarticulate? Under what circumstances might this change?
She always has something to say, but no guarantees on it not being dumb.

EMOTIONAL AND MENTAL
How intelligent is this character? Is she book-smart or street-smart?
Average intelligence; no real academic feats aside from knowing how to read, write, and a vague basic knowledge of how the world works. She follows through on her gut instincts, something that's neither book or street smarts although they are influenced by them.

Does she think on her feet, or does she need time to deliberate?
The best sort of plan is the one made up by the seat of her (really short) pants.

Describe the character's thought process. Is she more logical or more intuitive? Idealistic or practical?
Happy go lucky, go with the flow sort of warrior; she wants to be a hero like in legends and stories, and so she goes with gut instinct when it comes down to it.

What kind of education has the character had?
Basic education; she can read and write, along with a basic knowledge of the science of the world. She just leaves the more in-depth knowledge to others.

What are her areas of expertise? What, if anything, is she interested in learning more about?
Hitting things with a giant fuck-off axe. Although she's also recognized as a master weaver and goldsmith by the guildmasters of Ul'dah, and she'd like to learn more about the other disciplines offered to adventurers, like carpentry, leatherworking, armorer, and blacksmithing.

Is she an introvert or an extrovert?
Extrovert. Definitely an extrovert, no question.

Describe the character's temperament. Is she even-tempered, or does she have mood swings? Cheerful or melancholic? Laid-back or driven?
Cheerful and sunny, annoyingly so. She's very enthusiastic and gets easily fired up about things, along with being super stubborn and hates backing down.

How does she respond to new people or situations? Is she suspicious, relaxed, timid, enthusiastic?
She greets new people with enthusiasm. Also already eyeballing them, trying to figure out if they'll let her into their pants and if she thinks they will, how.

Is she more likely to act or to react?
To act.

Which is her default: fight or flight?
FIGHT.

Describe the character's sense of humor. Does she appreciate jokes? Puns? Gallows humor? Bathroom humor? Pranks?
She's got a good sense of humor, as long as it's not mean-spirited jokes with her at the butt of it. As for bathroom humor and puns, she tries to pretend she's above it all but secretly her inner twelve-year-old is delighted. While normally not one for pranks, she's all for pulling them as long as they're really good. Probably the only things she will sit down and plan on, thinking through it thoroughly.

Does the character have any diagnosable mental disorders? If so, how does she deal with them?
Her promiscuity is borderline hypersexuality/nymphomaniac, but she refuses to acknowledge that this is a problem or that she even has one. She will admit that her behavior is inappropriate, but she doesn't seem to be really wanting to change it, preferring to continue seeking pleasure all across the land.

What moments in this character's life have defined her as a person?
First, being disowned by her parents and banished from her clan for her promiscuity; living and fending on her own before drifting to Eorzea long before the mass immigration of Au Ra refugees.

Second, 'meeting' Hydalen face to face for the first time and realizing that she had been chosen as one of her Warriors of Light.

Third, the fateful meeting with the Sultana of Ul'dah where she was framed for her assassination and forced to Ishgard for sanctuary.

What does she fear?
Being rejected. Not being rebuffed for her overtures (she's used to that), but being rejected completely and totally, especially by people she cares about. It's already happened to her and she's afraid of it happening again.

In addition: cockroaches. She will scream like a little girl and spam overpower if she sees them.

What are her hopes or aspirations?
What she'd say is something silly or expected of her, like having her own harem or Eorzea living in peace with its neighbors.

What she truly yearns for is her friends to be happy and forever by her side.

What is something she doesn't want anyone to find out about her?
She's not exactly trying to hide about her family and kin throwing her out, but she definitely refuses to talk about her past before she came to Eorzea. It's the one topic that she remains silent on.

RELATIONSHIPS
Describe this character's relationship with her parents.
Disowned, and she hasn't talked or seen them in years.

Does the character have any siblings? What is their relationship like?
None; she was an only child..

Are there other blood relatives to whom she is close? Are there ones she can't stand?
n o p e. She was cut off completely and totally from everyone she knew.

Are there other, unrelated people whom she considers part of her family? What are her relationships with them?
The scions have essentially become the closest of what she can consider as another 'family' - although she considers them more good friends and trustworthy comrades than something like family.

Who is the character's best friend? How did they meet?
At the time, the person she'd consider her best friend would be Alphinaud, taking into account of his presence as her constant companion through both Eorzea and Ishgard.

Does she have other close friends?
She considers the leaders of the Grand Companies of Eorzea among her friends although admittedly she wouldn't call them close (Raubahn is a different story, due to events and her being a member of the Immortal Flames). She considers Ayermic and Lucina to be closer friends, due to recent events, along with Count Edmont and his sons.

Does she make friends easily, or does she have trouble getting along with people?
Oh boy does she like making friends. All sorts of friends.

Which does she consider more important: family or friends?
Considering her family threw her out, friends.

Is the character single, married, divorced, widowed? Has she been married more than once?
Single. Unsurprisingly, she hasn't been able to really carry out a stable relationship with a single person.

Is she currently in a romantic relationship with someone other than a spouse?
Hikari is open to business for everyone.

Who was her first crush? Who is her latest?
She honestly doesn't remember her first crush because it's been so long - and it's better to ask who isn't her crush. The list would be much shorter.

What does she look for in a romantic partner?
If they're standing upright and breathing. Sometimes just 'breathing' is good enough, under circumstances.

Does the character have children? Grandchildren? If so, how does she relate to them? If not, does she want any?
Surprisingly, no children yet. While she doesn't want them to have them anytime soon, she does want to have them sometime in the future, at some vague far-off date. Other than that, she really doesn't think about it and enjoys life to the fullest.

Does she have any rivals or enemies?
She has a evil empire dead set on conquering her new homeland and a supernatural magic underground cult trying to destroy the world or something, she's not really too sure of their goal but it's bad. There's more, but those two are the big ones; she doesn't really count The Syndicate as a enemy, but she doesn't consider them allies (aside from Godbert).

But she's taken Ilberd's, Yuyuhase's, and Laurentius' betrayal very personally.

What is the character's sexual orientation? Where does she fall on the Kinsey Scale?
Bisexual, although she heavily prefers men. She'd rate about a 2 on the Kinsey scale.

How does she feel about sex? How important is it to her?
She has sex nearly every day; partly because it's a way for her to show her affection for someone and it's a way for her to give someone a great amount of pleasure - with the bonus of it being pleasurable for her to. Very pleasurable.

What are her turn-ons? Turn-offs? Weird bedroom habits?
This can be long, but one of her chiefest pleasures is being dominated in bed - and it should be noted that she's usually letting someone dominate her, considering her great strength. It's kind of nice to let go of all the power and responsibility people expect of her and to let someone control her. She's into rough sex, exhibitionism, etc.. This could go on forever.

BELIEFS
Do you know your character's astrological sign? How well does she fit the type?
n/a.

Is this character religious, spiritual, both, or neither? How important are these elements in her life?
She's not really religious, but she is a tiny bit spiritual - she has to admit that there are forces beyond their realm thanks to the experiences she has. And also because she keeps on being visited by a giant floating crystal that talks to her; she's not much of a worshiper or a believer in follow someone else's rules and codes of conduct/behavior.

Does this character have a personal code of ethics or morals? If so, how did that begin? What would it take to compromise it?
She does, but mostly because she started out with one - basically, as a hero, she figured she should act as heroes do in stories and tales. The only way to get her to break it is if she has to save someone, which she figures would work out in the end anyways. Saving people is what heroes do, don't they?

So that just means she's always right.

How does she regard beliefs that differ from hers? Is she tolerant, intolerant, curious, indifferent?
Tolerant and curious. Eorzea is a land of new religions and gods, so she's very curious about the differences between the culture she grew up in.

What prejudices does she hold? Are they irrational, or does she have a good reason for them?
Initially, she was very hostile to most beast tribes on the continent; then again, she had reason to distrust them as the races are notorious for attacking settlements and attempting to summon twisted manifestations of their gods known as 'primals'. She's slowly learned that not all members of the beast races are bad however, as she meets small pacific groups who have no interest in waging wars for false gods and simply want to live in peace.

DAILY LIFE
What is the character's financial situation? Is she rich, poor, comfortable, in debt?
She's actually filthy rich, thanks to mastering a few disciples of the hand and land.

What is her social status? Has this changed over time, and if so, how has the change affected her?
Renowned hero and savior of the common people; pretty impressive considering when she first came to Eorzea, she was just a no-name adventurer with barely a gil to her name.

Where does she live? House, apartment, trailer? Is her home her castle or just a place to crash? What condition is it in? Does she share it with others?
SDhe owns a house in Ul'dah's goblet district and it's pretty much her little pleasure palace - although it's really a place to crash, considering how much she traveled. And then for a while, it lay unused as she was forced to flee to Ishgard.

Besides the basic necessities, what does she spend her money on?
Furniture for her house and other bedroom... Accessories. It turns out Ishgard has a surprisingly robust market for "bedroom accessories".

What does she do for a living? Is she good at it? Does she enjoy it, or would she rather be doing something else?
She is the warrior of light, a hero to all, and she LOVES IT. But truthfully, it has been wearing down on her, what with unexpected betrayals from those she thought she could trust and losing her friends one after another in front of her eyes, completely unable to save them.

What are her interests or hobbies? How does she spend her free time?
In her free time, she enjoys mining, harvesting plants, and gathering lumber. In fact, she can get a little bit too over-enthusiastic, especially when she gets in the zone and can clearcut a entire grove by her own. She's also a master goldsmith and weaver, recognized and respected by the guildmasters of each disciple - although she hasn't had time in Ishgard to improve her skills.

What are her eating habits? Does she skip meals, eat out, drink alcohol, avoid certain foods?
Hikari hates skipping meals and she she has to, she'll find a way to snack along the way. She finds Eorzean food fascinating, and she's not a very picky eater - she'll pretty much eat anything offered to her, seeing every unknown dish as another adventure. And while she loves hitting the bar, she's absolutely terrible at holding her liquor and is an awful lightweight. It doesn't take much for her to get drunk.
