“È sempre più forte di me. Lo è sempre stato. Perché a lui basta una parola per farmi male. Anzi, anche meno: una parola non detta, un silenzio, una pausa. Uno sguardo rivolto altrove. Io posso sbraitare e dimenarmi per ore, passare alle ingiurie, mentre a lui per stendermi basta una piccola smorfia, fatta con un angolo del labbro.” --Fabio Volo
“He is always stronger than me. It always has been. Because a word is enough for him to hurt me. Indeed, even less: an unspoken word, a silence, a pause. A look away. I can yell and squirm for hours, go on to insults, while a small grimace made with a corner of the lip is enough for him to knock me down.” --Fabio Volo

A daughter of Halone and a Seeker of The Sun.
Sarya has always been in opposition with herself and her clan - her auspicious eyes barely keeping her from being an outcast. Want a way to quickly get her fired up? Of course you do; tease her about her familial relations and buddy, you've signed up for a ride.
An Outcast
Sarya abandoned her clan and found refuge in a small tribe who had political ties to a much more powerful adjacent, Seeker tribe. Being a "woman of action", politics bore her, so she never heeded to the swaying tides that would soon affect her. She simply was interested in fighting and challenging those who opposed her strength -- using her smaller figure as a ploy to entrap those who thought her an easy opponent. Fighting in her odd style always bore her many injuries, but none that she couldn't shake off. A testament to that is a singular scar located on her right cheek -- the rest of her body unmarred. Being an outcast, she learned how to soothe her own wounds with magick -- all manner of healing -- she hones to this day.
A Warrior
Her reputation as a ferocious opponent spread through not only her tribe, but to adjacent clans as well. Her reputation, as well as her peculiar approach to battle, took the notice of a powerful Nunh in a tribe located north of her own. He quickly propositioned her to join his harem, boasting of his expansive properties and conquests (land, gil, women). Needless to say, she was not interested. Privy to the fact that no matter her win or loss, he would find a way to have her -- but had no other option to fight -- she fought ruthlessly. Though even a victory sentenced her to captivity, a loss would both diminish her pride and ability to flee.With her victory giving her the low fortuity for an evasive escape, she incited a plan using the Age of Endless Frost as a catalyst for her decamp after the betrothal.Now trekking across new lands, she constantly watches the shadows, checks the doors, spies for exits for any trace of the Nuhn or his goons.
A Remnant*
Each new Era brought her closer and closer to seclusion as she mastered various ways to hunt and survive, bringing about her air of detachment and lack of social etiquette.That is until the end of the end of the Fifth Astral Era. Multiple events eventually lead her back to society and piqued her interest for the newfound discoveries dotting this era. Since then, she's discovered an affinity to white magic in her dealings with the Amdapor, her skills keeping her safe in the waking turmoil of the Sixth Astral Era when practitioners of white magic were hunted by the Mhachi people.Those distant times only glimpsed in the form of a rare dance across her eyes when piqued by certain questions. Her mask of obscurity adorned infallibly. She is, now, a woman of this time and acts accordingly.
A Newfound Adventure
Now, you can find Sarya enjoying all forms of social interaction. Though it is clear that her years of seclusion reflect in her aloof personality. Her interest piqued, however, blossoms her into a warm and mischievous tease.Sarya is a notable businesswoman who owned the successful venue Fairy Tale Lounge, and dabbled in other establishments before reaching her era of 'retirement'. As such, she has learned many tools and tricks of the trade, though good luck trying to reprise a conversation of such matters. She simply is enjoying her freedom from the constant political answers being "known" in Eorzea afforded her. You may approach her about a possible business deal, but be prepared for her insatiable questions.You can also occasionally see her being a general flirt on stage at various locations -- rouse her from the usual monotonous interactions and she /might/ allow a private booking outside of hours. Nothing brings her more joy than a lively interaction that sets the stage for night of debauchery.

Dossier
Character: Vena De'Amoris is a Midlander Hyur of serene and captivating beauty. Her fair skin and hair are an enchanting contrast to her warm, brown eyes that hold depths of wisdom and compassion. She is inherently kind and empathetic, possessing a natural grace that draws people to her. Vena embodies the concept of love not just as romantic affection, but as a deep, unwavering acceptance and will to understand and connect with others. However, beneath her gentle exterior lies a quiet resilience forged in the fires of tragedy* and a persistent, burning desire to heal the wounds of others.Personality: Vena's journey is one of profound transformation. From a traumatized child scarred by prejudice and loss, she evolved into a compassionate and powerful healer. She learned to embrace her scars, not as a symbol of shame, but as a reminder of her resilience and her unwavering commitment to love. Vena realizes that she cannot heal every wound or erase every injustice. She continues to learn to accept the imperfections of the world, and of herself, and focuses on making a positive impact in the lives of those around her -- though she comes off as direct and flirtatious as a result.Vena De'Amoris is a testament to the power of love and resilience in the face of adversity. Her story serves as a reminder that even in the darkest of times, hope and healing are always possible. She proves that you don't need to be a saint in order to be worshiped. And you don't need to be overflowing with love in order to ignite a profound feeling in someone. She is a beacon of light in the Goblet, offering solace, understanding, and a glimpse of a more compassionate and loving Eorzea.
Pro Humanitate
Vena's primary motivation stems from a desire to spread genuine love and acceptance within Eorzea. She witnessed firsthand the devastating consequences of hate and prejudice, leaving her with a deep-seated need to foster a haven where people can feel safe, understood, and valued. Her goals are threefold:To create a safe and accepting space at Vena Amoris: This is her immediate and practical goal. She wants Vena Amoris to be more than just a place of pleasure; it should be a sanctuary where people can find solace, connection, and a genuine sense of belonging -- even if it's only for a singular passionate night.
To heal the wounds of prejudice and trauma within individuals: Vena believes that everyone deserves to be loved and accepted, regardless of their past or current circumstances. She strives to help individuals overcome their personal struggles and find inner peace through understanding and compassion.
To inspire others to embrace love and understanding in their own lives: Ultimately, Vena wants to effect a broader change in Eorzea's social landscape, fostering a community built on empathy, acceptance, and a recognition of shared humanity.
Of Scars and A Blooming Love
Vena was born and raised in New Gridania. During her childhood, a devastating fire ripped through the city, fueled by prejudice against a group suspected of summoning Primals. While her immediate family survived, Vena witnessed the horrific aftermath of fear and hatred, the burning homes, the terrified faces, and the scapegoating that followed. This event left an indelible mark on her soul. It was during this fire that she sustained severe burns across her body, scars that healed in the distinctive pattern of roses – a cruel irony, given the flower's association with beauty and love. The pain and trauma of this event ignited her fervent desire to combat prejudice and promote love.Years after the fire, a sudden illness claimed the lives of Vena's parents, leaving her orphaned and alone. Struggling to survive in a society that often marginalized those scarred by the fire, she faced constant prejudice and hardship. This period of vulnerability fueled her compassion to rise above and create a harbor for those who also glimpsed the darker side of humanity. A place where good drink and great conversation is shared by all.
Vein of Love
A compassionate older woman, a former courtesan named Mama Rue*, noticed Vena's inherent empathy and her unique ability to connect with others. Recognizing her potential, Seraphina took Vena under her wing, teaching her the art of understanding, listening, and providing comfort. She taught Vena that there were ways to offer solace and companionship without succumbing to the exploitative aspects of the profession. She emphasized the importance of emotional connection and the power of genuine empathy. She also taught Vena to embrace her scars as a sign of her resilience and strength.Inspired by Mama Rue's teachings and driven by her own desire to create a safe haven, Vena moved to the Goblet in Ul'dah. Using her accumulated savings and with the help of a few trusted friends, she established Vena Amoris, a unique venue that offers companionship, understanding, and emotional support in addition to traditional courtesan services. The name itself, "Vein of Love" in an archaic tongue, reflects her belief that love is a vital force that flows through all living beings.

An Apprentice Scholar
A more recent decision: to take on the role of scholar. To prepare her brain for any situation to come. Parsnip can be quite literal: a passerby stating that the "pen is mightier than the sword" started her path to the Arrzaneth Ossuary where she happened to meet a particular Xaela with a newfound passion for voidmagic*, leaving her tradecraft behind.
Thavnairian
Color and culture combine with this Thav -- as seen in her tanned skin and adorned attire. She feels the call of her home isle, the Bounty's ebb and flow lulling her to a restful night. Sweet spices, sweltering heat, and bountiful food bring a glint to Parsnip's eye.Born and raised as a merchant on the port of Yedlihmad, Parsnip has a penchant for seeking out unique things... and people. She's used to the trek to Alnair for better wares, seeking out hiking in Eorzea when she wants to reminisce about home.
House Daemir
A novice practitioner following the ideology of House Daemir, Parsnip turned to the thaumaturges of Eorzea for deeper knowledge on the Epiphanies of House Daemir*. The taboo topic of voidmagic leading her to seek out those who she could easily hide from if the information and research went awry -- natives of Eorzea.

So, you're interested in me too, eh?You can call me Sar or Tal (Talungya), those that know my real name know I am not comfortable with most knowing it, so don't ask. My main is Sarya though she has been a retired character in terms of roleplaying. I now roleplay exclusively on Vena De'Amoris.Please do not flirt with me OOC, it will be quickly and effortlessly dismissed. I am a mother of two special girls named Nutmeg (top) and Smurfette (bottom)!I am a PhD student and am always carving magic bean juice. These eye bags are, indeed, designer. What am I studying? Chemistry -- I specifically am interested in Organic Chemistry. Yes, your disgust or awe is noted.I am, at this point, a veteran in roleplay. However, that does not make me the best, and I am always willing to learn and improve! I did dabble with GaiaOnline and PSO, but nothing too serious to the extent I have here. I have been in this scene for around 6+ years now and am enjoying all it has offered to me so far -- thank you everyone who has made FFRP a safe and amazing experience thus far.I made my presence known through Fairy Tale Lounge and as such that is my home/connection to the roleplaying scene in FF. It has since closed and I am currently co-owning Vena Amoris carrd.co. I am also a co-owner to Dualism and work at various RP venues throughout the week! If you're interested in either my gposing or housing services, feel free to message me! My discord stays on DND (do not disturb) because I don't like the pings, but my DMs are always open.
