HEIGHT:: 4'9 / 144 cm
HAIR/EYES/SKIN:: Purple Taupe / Gold / Fair
DISTINGUISHING MARKS:: Scars from minor to large litter her body from years of battles. The most noticeable thing about her is the scales she possesses. Instead of creamy or vanilla scale colors for a Raen Au Ra, they are a bright white. This is a physical change from absorbing too much poisonous Light from the Lightwardens from Norvrandt. Usually wears makeup going for a 'softer' look with pink/glittery eyeshadow, light pink blush, darker pink lip gloss. Sometimes has some eyeliner added in there, but not always.
II. PERSONA
From first impressions, Thisei Virleth looks to be an innocent lady who isn't too much of a threat. She certainly LOOKS the part and does take advantage of such. People don't exactly know her true intentions on a whim until she shows her true colors. Regardless of this, she will engage with small talk out of politeness if someone bothers her. She does her best to put on a 'nice facade' to please the masses and anyone fortunate to run into her. She is just your typical adventurer-turned-god-slayer-turned-celebrity-overnight that people fawn over. Ah yes, she absolutely loves being called 'the Warrior of Light' even if it makes her eyebrow twitch. She really doesn't have an actual name to go by guys! It's TOTALLY not Thisei--gods, she hates when people refer her to her title and not her name. However, she doesn't say anything out of being polite. Can't hurt a happy person's feelings to meeting their hero, right? She is so done with this life, but this is how it is until she dies and goes back to the Lifestream.
Underneath her innocent and 'polite' demeanor is a woman who barely gives a damn about things anymore. While she doesn't mind helping people, she expects others to pull their weight or give her compensation. Anytime someone wants her to run an easy as hell 'errand', she will decline. It's different if the requester is someone who can't really make the journey and defend themselves. There are other ways to deliver mail--like the Post Moogle?! You don't need the Warrior of Light to deliver your love letter to your ex-lover. Years of being forced into the hero status has drained her mentally, physically, and she's just done with a lot of people's issues. She isn't afraid to tell people to shove it up their butt when it comes to being 'used' for meager things. She doesn't care if she hurts people's feelings. Why should she since a lot the Alliance never cared for her input for years? All of a sudden everyone cares about her health when the Final Days are about to wipe the planet away for good! A sarcastic woman who does enjoy taking out her frustrations on others to inconvenience them. But..don't tell anyone she is petty! That'll ruin her image--not there's much of an image to save anymore.
To sum it up, Thisei is a complex woman who dreams of not being an errand girl anymore. Still gets bothered about mediocre things, but that's been changing after she saved the planet from extinction. She can still be kind to others if they give her a reason to. Someone wants her trust and respect? Well, they have to prove themselves with actions, not words. Anyone can say things and not go through with what they boasted about. She doesn't mind helping people, but it has to be good reasoning. While yes, she is an adventurer, she isn't going to get low-balled or ripped off just because someone needs help all the time. She has expenses to pay for too! Just make sure to stay on her good side, or feel the pettiness that is Thisei Virleth. Just leave her alone if she asks fr it, because she is just Tired a lot and needs time to reflect. Otherwise, feel free to a verbal beat down from her, if that's what you want.

III. BACKGROUND
Thisei has been in the adventuring field for several years at this point in time. She knows the odds and ends when it comes to basic wilderness survival, first-aid, cooking simple recipes, setting up shelter, and the like. While camping in the wilderness between civilization can be scary, her years of honing her craft of adventuring has polished those rough edges. She doesn't have a hard time saying no to people when it comes to odd jobs--she has bills to pay. If the payout is too low, she won't accept it--special cases are the exception, but these are few and far in between.
Fishing is another strength and boon for Thisei. One, she knows the difference between freshwater and saltwater fish. Two, certain species of aquatic life only show up in certain time frames and seasons. Third, she knows how to prepare MOST kinds of fish and can easily adapt to finding new species. Fourth, there's a time and place to use fish as food. Very young fish aren't going to fill you up even when cooked properly. Best to just throw them back to the waters so they can grow into proper adults for consumption later. When dumped into an entire new realm, Thisei is eager to learn the different types of aquatic life that live in Zephon. One might say that she wants to 'catch them all' and record everything she can.
Her main battle focus is summoning 'primal-egis' and using them against her enemies. Able to wield basic spells and enhance them to her liking through elemental energies from her summoned egis. Ifrit, Titan, Garuda, and Bahamut were her big ones, but since coming here, she can't use them anymore. (Which doesn't bother her a tad bit). Instead, for reasons unknown, she has made a pact in the form of the mighty steed 'Ixion', a lightning horse she had seen around the Lochs of Gyr Abania. Her and fellow adventurers tackled the massive horse to make sure it wasn't a problem back then. However, it seemed to be part of this realm too. Able to wield lightning magics while doing her normal spells? Sounded like a plan to her! And..the best part was she could use Ixion as a stand-in mount, since she had lost her chocobo from being brought here. At least she was able to summon Phoenix, albeit a different version in this land. Still, she can fling her spells even if they're a bit on the wacky side. It'll take some fine tuning, but she is able to hold her own with lightning and fire energy mixed in. Did she mention she can throw toxins on her enemies? It seems to be capable here!
The best part is the Echo doesn't work here! This means she won't be pulled into seeing someone's past randomly anymore! It was useful in certain scenarios, but it was mostly an annoyance since she couldn't exactly control it. Oh well, she'll live without until she was thrown back to Etheirys.
Another thing is she doesn't invoke her title of being a Warrior of Light. Sure, it may grant boons, but it just isn't her. She wanted to drop the title after saving the planet from being wiped off the universe. She just wants to live for herself and explore to her heart's content. She intends to do that here in Zephon and keep her actual title and status under wraps. No one needs to know about her being some heroic figure. It's no one's business to know if she is or not.
Regardless of the situation, Thisei does her best to changing variables. From being on the road, dealing with others, helping fight against a common enemy, and just living life.

IV. HISTORY
TW: Mention of death, physical abuse, and overall torture.
Thisei Virleth doesn't remember much of her childhood or where she was born. She was found on the shores of the Ruby Sea with no way to identify her biological family. She was raised in a seaside village that focused on fishing as their main export. With the Garlean Empire controlling most of the Othard continent, regular visits from the military was common. People being beaten in front of them for not obeying was the norm. People being taken and never heard of again was also the norm. It was a harsh life, but the villagers did their best with the little happiness they could find. This was Thisei's life until she started getting headaches and blacking out randomly. Even the best doctor among the villagers couldn't pinpoint what was wrong with her. Until she mentioned about seeing things she shouldn't have known about did they get very concerned. No, no one could know about Thisei's strange ability to see past events. In order to keep her safe from the visiting Garlean military, they'd keep her contained somewhere that was hard to reach. It worked...for awhile.
Until Dalamud fell upon Eorzea many malms away that things took an interesting turn.
Thisei had an affinity for magics, but didn't have a proper means to channel it either. It all started when that mysterious ability manifested in her. Hearing what happened on the Eorzea continent, the Raen Au Ra wanted to go spread her wings. She would be a lot safer there than under lands that were occupied by Garlemald. Including with her increasing magica; potency and odd ability, she wouldn't be a prime target to hunt. So, she was smuggled onto the next trading ship bound for the city-state of Limsa Lominsa. Once there, she was able to get directions on the Arcanists' Guild to start her career as an adventurer. She thrived in the environment and loved her summmon, Carbuncle, so much that she gave it a name: Bunkie. As she helped more people out, her reputation as a dependable person grew. Then, she was made an envoy and it was smooth sailing from there...or was it? Being able to get to Gridania to learn conjury through nature was on her list, so she took up that class as a side. Only after some time did she run into people of the Scions of the Seventh Dawn. Noting her strange ability to see the past, they would help her understand it. So, she accepted the invitation and everything started to go downhill from there slowly.
Being thrown against literal primals of all things was NOT on Thisei's agenda, but she did it anyway to help the commonfolk. Overtime, she conquered more and more of these entities, while growing stronger in her own fields. Becoming a White Mage and Summoner on the side helped increase her survival rate. As time went on, her status grew to being the "Warrior of Light" to the masses, while being "Bringer of Light" to the Ascians. She continued to be a beacon of hope for those around her, even if it was starting to weigh her down. Mentally she was starting to question her worth and thought herself as the "Weapon of Light" of all things considering.
The worst part was trying to save the Source (Etheirys) from having another calamity by going to the First (which was called Norvrandt). Forced to ingest poisonous and dangerous Light corruption, Thisei's entire being started to suffer. There were five Lightwardens to defeat and take care of. Each time she absorbed the Light from one, it started to change her. Dark purple hair went into a lighter shade, her scales turning into a marble color, her white magic being less effective the more she took in. By the time she saved the First, Thisei had lost the ability to cast white magic anymore, which ultimately ended her career as a White Mage. Her physical appearance was forever changed and she hated to look at herself in the mirror for months after that.
By the time she saved Etheirys from the song of Oblivion, Thisei was done. She was very tired and she wanted to rest. When the Scions finally 'disbanded', she had already left before then. Her allies understood she needed time to herself and said farewell earlier than most. While they worried about her, the retired Warrior of Light didn't want to be bothered. it was finally time to take a much needed vacation. Camp somewhere, fish for awhile, and just be herself. No more being a hero for the world, she could just be Thisei..... until she woke up one day in the realm of Zephon. Quite the confusing realization that you left your home star to another dimension entirely.
Regardless of being in this new world, it dawned upon Thisei that no one would know who she was here. She could just be a common adventurer and live with that life. Yes, her Warrior of Light status didn't follow her here. She could blend in with the masses, learn about this realm, and possibly have an extended vacation. Despite people possibly worrying about her disappearance, Thisei could careless. This realm was her oyster and she was going to take full advantage of it.

OTHER CHARACTERS:: n/a
ROLE-PLAYING EXPERIENCE:: 10+ Years!
HOW YOU FOUND US:: Reddit
NOTES FOR CONSIDERATION:: Ixion and Phoenix lesser summon claims! I do have dyslexia, so my grammar and typing might be off here and there. Some wordings might not make sense, so please bear with me. Feel free to let me know of any major grammar/spelling issues, thank you. <3
ROLE-PLAY SAMPLE::
"You have got to be kidding me."
Thisei stared at the mess that her one Carbuncle had decided to create. She had just cleaned her small cottage that morning! Oh yes, let's take a nap after all that house work. Between Warrior of Light duties and some down time, it was hard to do anything for herself. For once, she had wanted to make sure living space wasn't a dusty mess. With not being home for weeks at a time, it was best to clean when she had the opportunity.
The Au Ra went to stare at the foxy-little creature, while it stared at her innocently with his beady, black little eyes. She put her hands on her hips and leaned down to stare eye-to-eye with the familiar. An annoyed expression came over her features as she asked one question:
"Why?"
Silence was her response, but the stare down continued onward for several moments. That is until the Carbuncle decided to walk away with his tall high in the air. As if he was saying 'I don't have to answer to you', even if that was a lie. Thisei was his summoner and he better listen to her! After all, she spoiled this familiar rotten, and...this is how he repaid her?
She was going to revoke those rolanberry tarts from her cabuncle's treat list. Not until this damn thing decided to wise up and not ruin her hard work! He might complain, but that wasn't going to be her problem. Her cabuncle did this to himself, and he was going to pay the price for ruining her cleaning.
Watching the familiar walk off, Thisei ran a few fingers through her purple locks. The living room wasn't that bad, but it would take a bit to straighten out again. It was mostly clutter, small trinkets, and some blankets thrown over the floor and nearby sofa. The chairs weren't messed up at least.
Still, she was going to make sure that blue being got a stern talking to. Couldn't have him misbehaving in the heat of battle like he used to back then.
