Profile

A doting and highly protective momcat of those she likes, yet unspeakably brutal and callous to those she doesn't care about. Lihya is a duality. She will happily stomp all over the rights of strangers if it benefits her or the precious loved ones in her life. Those she takes a liking to can expect her fussing over their health, always cooking or baking them their favorite foods, and generally complimenting and spoiling the hell out of them. She's very much prone to doting affection almost to the point that it may be seen as babying, directed towards imposing Roegaedyn, to diminutive Lalafell, and everyone in between. Lihya is highly pious towards her matron Menphina and could even be described as “girly” in her aesthetic tastes, yet she’s always seeking danger and excitement in her life, even if it comes at the expense of bad guys. Especially if it comes at the expense of bad guys.

Once a powerful blue mage, mysterious events a couple years ago have marred her usually pure black hair with white spots, and netted her a strange high-tech choker she is rarely seen without. For the longest time she had not been seen casting blue magic, though on rare occasions, she HAD been seen armored and using martial weaponry as a means of defense now, something that was once highly uncharacteristic for the Keeper. In recent days, she's been seen casting spells once more. and spells of origins reaching beyond just blue magic too. Moderately powerful, though she is a shadow of her former prodigious self, no longer possessing the overwhelming power and talent she once had.

Lihya gets along well with most people, but those who can most easily bond with her are ones who can accept how limited the reach of her moral considerations can be at times. The Keeper forming close bonds with innocent and softer sorts is very common, yet the ones who chastise her or judge her too much for not being the same usually find Lihya's appreciation for them to be short-lived.

Hooks

Fortune Telling and Divinations - In more recent times, Lihya has taken a particular interest in Astromancy, honing in solely on the varied divinations the craft has to offer rather than its healing and destructive capabilities. Lihya can read one's fate to them for a small price. Useful for those who seek magically-enhanced advice on how to tackle a problem they currently face, finding out how good of an idea one's current course is, or gaining insights into a chosen topic.

Wizard for Hire - This miqo'te is a mage who can do many things for you for the right price. Scrying spells to find an object or person, information gathering through divinations, charming others, modifying memories. She is also a skilled combatant in her own right. If you'd like her protection or other services, she'd be happy to help!

Magical Healing, Relaxing Spa Day - The blue magic spells Lihya uses in the present day are very few. Thankfully, her healing is one of them! What was once a cold and clinical medical service has now branched into a much more relaxing spa experience, a path Lihya began to embrace once she had patients faking injuries simply because her healing felt nice. Whether you need medical help or just some pampering to unwind, Lihya's happy to help!

Soul Stealer - Lihya often engages in using mysterious magic to steal souls from criminals. Using further magic to devour these afterlives grants a high she considers to be "The greatest feeling one can feel in their life," and so she's eager to share this edible aether with friends. Such a potent drug may prove compelling for some. She often applies these afterlives to many of her enchanted items she creates in order to apply permanency to their effects as well. Lihya could also always aid those who need assistance or guidance on matters of the soul, use more friends to share her high with, or people to bring her more bodies to take from.

Enchanting Services at the Magic Shop - Lihya owns a shop called the "Blue Moon Magic Parlor," based in the Goblet. Filled mostly with magical items of her own creation, there are many useful things here for both civilian and combat use. Flaming swords, pens that convert aether to ink, potions, and so much more! She takes custom commissions too! (Availability of your desired magical item can be discussed. I default to powerful items being rare and time consuming to build, requiring several adventures with Lihya in order for the item to be affordable for the average client, but quicker purchases can happen if you wish!)

Masked Carnivale - Up until a couple years ago, Lihya was a semi-public figure in Ul'dah. Among Carnivale fans specifically, she could often be recognized as a consistent performer in the Masked Carnivale. There, she was known as "Blue Moon," and was known for her cocky and arrogant flair on stage. She disappeared one day, only to return a little over a moon later. Her pure black hair had been checkered and marred by white, and she started wearing a high-tech necklace that she seemed quite fond of. She formally quit the Carnivale shortly after her return, though most of the public has no clue as to why.

Free Food! - Oddly enough, the miqo'te has "All guests get free food!" written right on the placard outside of her personal home. A strange invitation, but if you're frugal, in need of food, or perhaps simply curious, such a placard might compel you to invite yourself in.

Magic Lessons ! - Lihya has teaching experience, and is more than willing to take on students interested in magic, or magically imbuing items. She's also interested in RECEIVING lessons for any sort of magical arts that fall outside of her areas of expertise.

In Game: Lihya Zharipoh - Balmung

Hi! I'm Aeva. I'm over 21 if that matters to you, and I've been roleplaying for over a decade if that also matters to you. I've been a part of the Final Fantasy 14 roleplaying community for 7 years, and Lihya herself has been my primary character for the last 6 of those years. LGTBQ+ friendly. Like the majority of people in this community, I'm very into video games and anime! I'm also an ant keeper, ask me about it and I'll probably gush at you with videos of my tiny ant babies doing ant things.

I'm based in Eastern time, but my availability is frankly all over the place and I'm very flexible, so if our time zones are different, you should still consider reaching out! I am, however, on the Crystal datacenter, and I'm heavily biased against discord roleplay. So if we can't RP in-game I'm probably not interested, sorry! I like roleplaying with all experience levels however. If you're a more experienced writer than me, then it'll be nice to learn from you, and if you're brand new then it'll be a lot of fun getting to be a part of your first experiences!

If you're interested in having me as a roleplay contact or meeting Lihya, you can whisper me in game or reach out to me on discord!
