Thank you for reading my carrd!

If I'm tagged, you can walk up! Or send me a /tell if you're interested. Most of the time, if I'm not moving, it's 'cause I'm drawing on the other monitor.• The person behind the character is 21+, I prefer the people I RP with to be as old, at the very least 21+• I am not my character. My character is not me.• Please try to keep OOC and IC separate• Don't be a dick.• I'll trade Moon coupon codes with you if you ask! (And if we're RPing together)• Discord is available if you ask and/or if I've RPed with you before.• I like a good story, and I enjoy long-term roleplay. I can also vibe with short greetings and small approaches. No preference!• I'm comfortable with paragraph to multi-paragraph RP but I'll mirror posts most times (Unless I really get into it.)

• Etoile's backstory and general story have mature and dark themes. Some things might reflect that. Please let me know if you're uncomfortable with that.• I have no preference for RP genres, however, ERP is not a first-meeting thing and is extremely rare. I like my slow burn. Do not expect it unless the long-term approaches that area. If you didn't read this, read it now: Eto is an emotional brick.• I'm fine with lore-bending. I'm not a lore scholar. I am open to learning, just let me know.• I'm not interested in isekai'd characters. I'm not interested in WoL's. I am not interested in people who god mod or Meta.• I would prefer no unconsented harm to come to Etoile. Please ask before giving her lasting damage.

Aloof, curt, and mostly ambivalent to the strangers around her, Etoile approaches the world with half-open eyes willing to soak in all the knowledge and experiences of those around her...If they can stand her mannerisms. Whether or not it's remembered is a different question.These feelings, however, are tossed to the wayside when her work is involved. Dutiful to her title of a healer, the Raen approaches courteously when she needs to heal another of their wounds and ailments and provides the utmost of which she can to help the person recover, even if she will only see them once.There is a limit to such niceties, though. The Raen is rather unforgiving if she dislikes someone or something. Usually, there isn't much to sway her opinions, and her pride that has developed and grown from her watchful wardens makes her difficult to bend and fold.Naive and oblivious, she isn't exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer. Leaning heavily on her ability to manipulate aether, treats words and phrases literally, and is so dense that some things fly past her head or are easily forgotten due to prioritizing her own curiosity, this little Raen has plenty of troubles and quirks.Stone-faced and unchanging, this diminutive Raen is not well in touch with her emotions and has difficulty properly expressing and identifying her feelings. Most changes that hint at how she feels are scarcely shown and can be difficult to discern.Despite being a little dodo-brained and simple-minded, Etoile makes up for those traits by holding a veritable font of knowledge and deep respect for aether and magic. From her expertise in astromancy and astrology, to conjury and white magicks, even thaumaturgy, black magicks, and aetherial manipulation to the last drop, she grasps the teachings quickly and keeps them close, using them to help others and keep herself on her toes. However, Etoile herself has grown so reliant on her abilities and gifts; thus, she isn't the most capable when it comes to physical activities.


Appearance

Body: Diminutive, petite, and waifish, the best words to describe Etoile would be frail and undernourished. Along with her frame, this little Au Ra borders on physically inept, unable to hold much weight without aid, and just barely able to run a decent distance until she's winded. While not stick thin, her limbs leave much to be desired in terms of meat-on-her-bones.Hair: White and always tied up in buns. She doesn't style it much differently and always puts a hairpiece made of two of Cygnus's feathers and a light blue dragon scale to the side.Traits of note: Has sharper than average canines. They peek out a bit when she's expressive, talks, or eats, but otherwise, they're just slightly sharp. Can't break a person's flesh with them, not that she'd want to.
Also has an expressive, longer-than-average tail that can thwap against the ground and scrape the floor when she's not paying attention, or if she's exhausted. Trust this more than her face or voice when she's talking.
Scars: Many in number, few open to see. The first two scars are vertically adjacent to one another with her spine in between as if someone forcibly dug deep with a crude spade to find wings. Gnarled, torn, and left with divots of dull red skin, at one point they might have contained large wings if she had them, but she never did in the first place.
There is a third horizontal scar on her pubic area. Most times the band of pantalettes just barely hides it, but in some cases, it can still be seen. Dipped down, dark pink, and rough.
The final pair of scars are at the back of her ankles and encompass the joint.


Skills

Aetheric healing is far from perfect and Etoile understands this well. However, she has learned through trial, error, and seasons of experience just how much is too much as well as gauging the severity of wounds. A capable healer who won't leave her patient to the wayside, she tends to those in need, be it through Astromancy to returning to the roots of being a chirurgeon. The lingering remnants can be topped up with a potion.• The small Raen makes up for the lack of physical strength, endurance, and stamina in the form of magic and having a vast quantity of aether and extremely fine control over it. From healing to spell-casting, the girl has plenty at her disposal but scarcely uses them for combat unless provoked.• Proficient in Astromancy, Black magic/Thaumaturgy, and White magic/conjury she is an extremely proficient mage and healer, though she cannot take a physical hit at all and lacks the knowledge, instincts, and reflexes to properly dodge most of the time.• Etoile bears both a keen sense of aethersight, aethersense, and tends to be over-reliant on them but holds respect in others and does not pry. She is not, however, above taking a glimpse if the same is done to her.

• Despite being well acquainted and learned of aether in and of itself, most of her experience is based on her own doing and observations. She cannot create arcane carbuncles, fairies, or the like. While she understands the concept, formulations, and geometries behind familars, she has been unable to make one that is tangible enough to act as a servant summon in combat. This does not hinder her adoration for them, though. Please be warned, your familiars may be subject to fascination, pets, cuddles, and more.• A bearer of the Echo, Etoile unknowingly revels in the ability to understand others as they understand her. This and the accompanying ability to listen to the flow of aether is something she uses to the fullest and is overreliant on. She is in absolute denial of having this but is aware of its existence. She loathes this ability and the potential for it to intrude upon another's privacy.• While the girl can heal others in a small fraction of time and magic, she, herself, takes monumental amounts of aether to be healed, and oftentimes, if she's injured, she does not use aether, unless it is in the faintest of quantities. Another unfortunate side effect of her circumstances is that she is extremely frail. A mistep or otherwise cripples her physically.


History

Etoile isn't fond of retelling her past. While she'll mention bits and pieces, she's not one to freely give out that sort of personal information and will need time, patience, and trust to speak about it. If one wants to figure out her history you'll need time. Lots and lots of time and proof that you trust her and she trusts you. This can be uncovered throughout multiple interactions, but will never be revealed in the first several.


Current Day

Stopping by frequent places that seem to always need a healer, you will most of the time see her watching people or things, reading a book, or healing or tending to people. But, if anything catches anyone's attention, it's more than likely her hat and her height– Or lack thereof.

Hooks

Dravanian Bound: A frequenter of Dravania, Etoile is often seen in the region. More often than not, she's in the Forelands or Churning Mists, but you'll sometimes see her in the Hinterlands observing the wildlife and exploring the remnants the Sharlayans left behind.For Future Paths of Fate: Outward appearances may make people believe she's a mage. The color might make you think she's a witch. The Astrolabe at her hip secures her position as a practitioner of Astromancy. The Deck of Sixty she plays with is more than just a game. While not just for play, fortunes and fates can also be read. If you ask nicely. Side note: She can, and will, count cards if you play those games with her.Huge Mass of Aether: If one is proficient in aethersight, they'll see that Etoile carries a significantly large well of aether, far larger than average. The well is unaspected and reminiscent of the stars in the sky until she uses it, and even then, it's finely controlled and woven within her fingertips. If you look at her like this, she'll look at you like this. It's only fair, in her mind.A Hint of Draconic Odor: Having grown up amidst the denizens within the Anyx Trine, this little Au Ra oozes their scent that most hunters or those with keen noses can smell. If that wasn't enough, the girl bears a hairpin made up of chocobo feathers and a light blue dragon scale. And yet, there isn't a lick of draconic aether that flows within her, even if you squint.

Healing If Needed: One who wanders out and about, this healer is often seen roaming around Aldenard, from Thanalan to Dravania and a bit beyond (Though the Far East eludes her). Perhaps you may have seen her, or perhaps she might have helped you before. Regardless, she is available and capable of mending and caring for the injured or ailing.Magic Enthusiast: Every fiber of her being and studies revolves around aether, the manipulation of it, and the various methods on how to utilize it. Oftentimes she can be seen manipulating little minuscule strands of it or reading up on the techniques that other people use. She has recently been studying somanoutics and struggles with that and arcanima. While not the best teacher, she will at least teach you the basics.A Glimpse Into The Past: Once upon a time, the Athenaeum Astrologicum in Ishgard was a frequent place for her. Once upon a time, a soldier or knight might have seen a frightened yet determined face, wrongly scaly with a shunned tail. Once upon a time, a large purple hat was seen amidst the crowds of Ishgard, Saint Reymanaud's Cathedral, war fronts, the Brume, and more, but those times are long gone...Etoile has a slight Ishgardian accent when she speaks. Her first name is also old Elezen, unlike the typical Au Ra. (Please send me a /tell if you approach with this!)

Don't see something here? That's perfectly fine! Send me a tell and we can come up with something!
