Her sapphire eyes are normally bright and cheerful, and it's hard not to have a better day when you're around the enchanting Hyur.Seldom without a sincere smile for everyone she sees, Lily's adornments reflect her positive outlook on life. Flowers typically adorn her hair, and other similar symbols are usually reflected in her choice of jewelry.

Often seen as a motherly figure to the younger members of her organization, Lily has embraced her role - providing what succor and peace she can. A powerful healer whether by conjury or alchemy, she often volunteers in the Medical Ward, providing relief to those suffering.
Lily's own past is shrouded in mystery, and those who spend time learning more about the Hyur's life are stunned by what they discover... a woman with an almost fantastical origin.
Hooks
Nophica's Chosen
Lily is a devout follower of the patron of Gridania, and is capable of powerful conjury with her blessing. Happy to provide healing to the sick and injured, Lily has been known to treat an incredible range of physical and mental maladies with spell and potion.
Master of Botany
Having spent the majority of her life honing her craft with plantlife, Lily can brew just about any sort of potion one could need. Her arboretum contains a multitude of plants and ingredients... and odds are if you need a specific reagent... she has it.
Child of Gridania
If you've grown up in Gridania, and are around Lily's age range, you might have vague memories of her as that "weird child" or the "animal girl".
Legatum Mysteria
A member of the Free Company known as the Legatum Mysteria, this free company specializes in safeguarding the secrets of Eorzea... and beyond. Often alongside many extraordinary individuals with unique talents, Lily has earned her own reason for being in such unique company...
Spark of Light
Those with aethersight would not have trouble seeing the vibrant white aether that permeates the young woman's body. In fact, this aether is so pure and rich, clearly something extraordinary must be going on here...
Legends Past
The Third Umbral Calamity (also known as the Calamity of Fire) was said to have been a conflagration without peer. The Shroud did not escape this calamity unscathed, and legends speak of the Great Tree Yggdrasil that was lost in the ensuing disaster. Few are the texts that remain to detail Yggdrasil's legend, but a recently discovered tome unearthed in Sharlayan's forbidden library speak of the legend of the primal Odin and his priestess lover Yggdra. Scholars who've had a chance to view this book would draw striking similarities between depictions of Yggdra and the appearance of a certain Hyur botanist...
OOC
I'm open to roleplaying with just about everyone - Veteran or novice RPer alike. I adore walkups and will do my best to reply. Feel free to whisper me if I don't reply, I may have missed your message in the chat scroll.I only have three real notes about my roleplay:Firstly - I am open to just about any sort of collaboration or introduction, including mature and dark themes... but please clear anything dramatic with me beforehand so I can prepare and make sure the idea is a good fit for both of us!Second - Please respect the IC/OOC boundaries. While I am open to the idea of character romance (and it is my favorite trope!), it is important to distinguish between IC and OOC. I am happily married IRL, and trying to push anything that happens between Lily and your character into an IRL context is the swiftest way to ensure I never want to roleplay with you again.Third - I generally try to stay lore compliant in a public setting to avoid breaking anybody's immersion. FFXIV has a very rich lore, but I am also a firm believer in the 'rule of cool'. Lily's backstory in particular is a bit of creative interpretation of the Third Umbral Calamity and some information on what we know about the Primal Odin. The Legatum Mysteria typically has plots that touch on some of the vaguer bits of lore and interpret them. If you prefer only to deal in absolutes in lore, please note that prying into Lily's backstory may not be the greatest fit for you. Otherwise, I absolutely love when others try to learn more about my characters and I will attempt to return the favor of your own character's history!
