Sister A'sraha Sallit
Healer and Hearer,
A Lightbringer of Gelmorra.
From softest grace to stalwart grit,
The healer has the bloodiest hands.
Sraha of the Antelope Tribe, sired by A'sallit Tia.
With an innate love for healing and the calmness of spirit, A'sraha Sallit left the comforts of her home in Limsa Lominsa to Stillglade Fane at a young age. She dutifully studied the arts of healing, and connecting with the Elementals in earnest heart. Years of honest toiling and effort led the Shroud’s Elementals to speak to her, marking the girl as a Hearer of the Fane, with wind elementals favouring her the most.When the Seventh Umbral Calamity struck, A'sraha was amongst those sent to aid, sent to either the farthest reaches of the Shroud to re-stablize Gridania’s lands against the Ixals, or assist in Gridania’s thinning forces. In strife and battle, she came to mature as a fierce healer of great skill, capable to both maim and mend.
As Gelmorra exploded into activity with monsters of another world, A'sraha was among the first few healers assigned to Quarrymill, aiding adventureres in the Palace of the Dead. Despite needing to be dragged to Quarrymill between shifts, she is certainly one of the longest few to stay at the site, aiding adventurers and often seeking the lost from the crypt. With time and effort, she and a handful of her other allies of Gelmorra earned their Kinna Weapons, marking her as one of the Lightbringers.
With the waning of the Palace's pains, normalcy returned to the lives of the Lightbringers, and the four winds called them to the future. A'sraha resumed her duties in Stillglade Fane, but answered her family's call to duty whenever they did.To the onlooker, it may seem strange and even heinous for a man to use his children in the dark business of thievery on Limsa Lominsa's high seas, but such restraints never stopped her father, First Mate aboard the ship the Red Coeurl, a privateer's ship about as much as a Coeurl was a housecat. Many tend to overlook that A'sraha was raised by pirates during Limsa Lominsa's Golden Age, and at present, she readily returns to that life, hardened by death.

Personality
+compassionate+optimistic+engaging, courteous+work-oriented
-impatient-biased, selective-a tad spiteful-will hunt you down for sport
A healer first and foremost, A'sraha prides herself in being work-oriented and wasting no time for formalities before getting her hands dirty. Even should the worst happen and a patient dies on her watch, she pulls herself together cleanly and continues to work. Trained to be resilient and to not be easily put down by failure, A'sraha eventually gets back on her feet. She takes trials and tribulations as they come, with a heart both firmly planted in faith and thrown to the wind.Raised by a father best described as a fatalist, A'sraha often says things as they are, veiled only by a calculated measure of tact. A foreigner does not thrive in the capital of Gridania spouting her mind, and therefore A'sraha learnt to carefully chooses her words to appear amiable and unbiased, regardless of what she really thought of them. Though level-headed and mature, she often so comes off as a tad eccentric, spouting odd things with a childish glee. After all, if the world is cruel and everything one does is a futile shout into the abyss, one might as well enjoy shouting.
hooks
looking for:
- ic friends, esp other shroud witches/voidfolk; while sraha is a loyal and productive member of the Fane, she neither shuns witches nor snitches on them, provided they don't intend to harm her first.
- the occasional bodyguard; she is absolutely chatty and will try to befriend you while you possibly try to keep her from getting killed by a ghost of Amdapor she seems to know a little too personally.
- long term rp partners; mrp, slice of life, cheery shit? all ok w me so long as we talk about what it be
not looking for:
- erp for the sake of erp - sraha is neither promiscuous nor has the time to be, and while i'm okay with ships, erp for the sake of it isn't my thing and i apologize beforehand
- rivalry with no resolution, being mean for the sake of being mean, especially when it's women on women --it's 2023 bbs we support each other (that being said, enemies to lovers is the best ship dynamic and i am not taking criticism at this time.)
- o o c d r a m a
Other information:- A'sraha is usually stationed in the South Shroud, in the town of Quarrymill. Is usually assigned into Gelmorra’s depths, either to assist adventurers with succor or to find the lost.
- She was once afflicted with an unknown illness that corrupts her Aether, and is rather invested in an extreme form of physiotherapy.
- A'sraha's main staff is a Kinna Cane, it being a literal manifestation of her corrupted aether. Since cleansing and recovery, she's able to use other weapons without them being tainted as well.
- She is a loyal, productive and long-standing member of Stillglade Fane, also known as the Conjurer's Guild, and will recognize most of its members on sight. (Talk to me if you’d want pre-established backgrounds!)
The mun is of the following: -- 30 lmao
- easy-going and therefore you don't need to worry about late replies! Life indeed comes first.
- is okay with discord rp if our schdules don't match! (Timezone: GMT+8)
- Is willing to discuss plots for your characters beforehand! Need a dungeon-diver or an experienced battlemage for a scene? She's all yours!
