FEATURES

For those who can see aether, Croa's can seem rather confusing. Soft, yet strong. Cold, but warm.

A dark blue mixed with white lights and fine ribbons is the best way to describe her aether.

*JOBS.

RED MAGE

Reaching Gyr Abania, dropping almost dead of exhaustion, she was taken under [REDACTED]'s wing. They nursed her back to health, even knowing very well what, and who she was. They taught her red magic, showing her that not everything was black and white. She could be both. She hated the thought of harming again, but in this world, it sometimes was a necessity. Her rapier was given to her by her mentor, and she keeps it very close to her heart. It is not her only weapon now, but her got to for most situations.

REAPER

Escaping Garlemald wasn't an easy task. She didn't know where to go, what to do and who to be. But she escaped. After years of being trained in melee combat, finding a scythe wasn't a hard task around the empire. Overflowing with unstable aether, her power was immense, but out of control. Those who dared to cross the path of the panicked young reaper didn't meet a kind fate. Most soldiers swore seeing an avatar, where only fear and pure survival instinct was mixed to a then, incredibly dark aether.

*HOOKS.

▍ ❝ THE EMPIRE'S ELITE.
used as a puppet, the garlean empire had Croa attend multiple banquet, balls, events, where they would flaunt and brag about their new creation. On the darker side, she was sent on multiple secret missions, doing their dirty work in the shadows. Mayhaps you met with the higher society, or down in the sewers.. Maybe you were even a potential target ?..

▍ ❝ HOLY CITY HEALER.
as she escaped garlemald, croa took refuge in ishgard, managing to obtain a small room in the attics of the church in exchange for her help with healing soldiers or sick citizens. Helping out with cleaning and prayers to get on the good side of the ishgardians, you may have required to her aid, or saw her tend to chores in the church.

▍ ❝ FLESH EATER, BLOOD DRINKER
years of killing change a woman. her captors had to resort to spiteful practices to submit croa to merciless killing. the taste of blood and flesh isn't something that an animal can let go so easily.. Frequenting dark markets more than she should, croa has to feed on.. ''harder to get'' type of meat and drinks in order to not lose her mind or feel any types of withdrawals. Maybe she met you in one of those market, or maybe you're one of her suppliers ?

*VERSES.

*The beast.

▍ ❝ The White Lioness.
Seen as a beast by her captors, she was given a title, earned in blood, referencing a proud, fierce and deadly creature. apex predator, the white lion, here symbolising purity, innocence, but also transformation and rebirth.

*Tarot.

▍ ❝ The FOOL.
The tarot card that would symbolise Croa best would be the fool ;
Upward, symbolising new beginnings, opportunities, risk-taking, innocence.
Downward, symbolising caution, hesitation, fear of the unknown. Naivety, chaos.

*ancient.

▍ ❝ circe.
circe was one of the protectors of the people of Elpis, mostly needed when creations became too violent. Most creations became calm only at the sight of Circe, otherwise easily calmed down by her magic, whether it be through combat or simple one sided conversation.

*FLOWERS.

▍ ❝ FORGET-ME-NOT.
her biggest fear ? being forgotten, or forgetting. the forget-me-not is a symbol of remembrance, loyalty and faithfulness, hence, it is a very important and symbolic flower for Croa, representing her most important values and beliefs.

*Headcanons.

▍ ❝ COZY MEALS
Not exactly into cooking often, Croa is still surprisingly very good at it. Thanks to her phytokinesis powers, she likes growing her own vegetables and herbs, giving her meals a very fresh taste. She prefers hot meals as well, and is very good with seasoning meat and cooking it. You won't catch her behind the stoves often, but when you do, you're in for a good time. Also, don't ask her to make the same three different meals. She's on a rotation every few months.

▍ ❝ SCALE CARE
Croa regularly takes care of her scales, due to her dna alterations, they tend to spread and overgrow on her skin, so she has to carve them back in proper shapes for them to not take over her whole body. She enjoys changing the shapes of them over the years, sometimes letting them take over more than usual. They take a few months to grow back, so she has had multiple attempts to try more elaborate designs with her scales. She currently enjoy carving them into flowers.

▍ ❝ STEALTH 100
An absolute lie. She never had to learn stealth, or could use very little of it back in her old life, so stealth isn't.. exactly her strong suit. She hates hiding especially if she knows she's stronger than her opponent. She has very little patience, especially if she has to be totally silent for a long amount of time, considering her tail and long ears, it's always been quite hard for her to not bump on things or knock things down. Not that she's especially clumsy.. She just doesn't want to deal with that.

▍ ❝ SELFISH HEALERFor years, Croa's healing wasn't out of pure kindness. Guilt weights her mind, and healing the injured is the only way she found proper enough to be considered a payment back for all the lives she took in battle. She's not a hero ; if it doesn't benefit her, in any way, there's absolutely no helping coming from her hand. She learned to be selfish from a young age for survival sake, not out of ill-will. That being said, she does have soft spots for some people...
