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 of a blue mage, and those she takes a liking to can expect her fussing over their health, always cooking or baking them their favorite foods, and generally spoiling the hell out of them. She's very much prone to doting affection, directed towards imposing Roegaedyn, to diminutive Lalafell, and everyone in between, so long as she likes them. Yet she'll happily stomp all over the rights of strangers if it benefits her or the precious loved ones in her life even marginally. Those she borderline babies can at times be exposed to seeing the cruelty and callous disregard she gives to those outside of her circle. Thankfully, she at least tends to limit these darker behaviors towards criminals and other baddies.

Lihya is a talented blue mage. Pursuing ties to the Whalaqee before blue magic was introduced into Eorzea, Lihya has had a longer time to hone her craft than most. Even to this day, she is a highly ambitious spellcaster. Any leads on increasing her magical power, or new magic she can learn through her mimicry, are always followed up on with intensely hungry enthusiasm. Though, her interest in magic is not limited to the blue, she has a keen interest in the creation and acquisition of magical items too. She has made it a habit to profit from her passions, and offers a great deal of various magical services to those who could use wizardly help. From simple mercenary work, to magical healing sessions, giving lessons, and even running a magic item shop, Lihya's always willing to offer her magic to you for the right price.

Lihya is highly pious towards her matron Menphina, one of many traits carried over from her days growing up within an isolated Keeper Miqo'te tribe. She enjoys many of her childhood trival past times to this day. Fishing and hunting are great loves for her. Yet, she could also be described as “girly” in her aesthetic tastes despite her background. She’s still always seeking danger and excitement in her life though, even if it comes at the expense of some unfortunately-placed bad guys. Especially if it comes at the expense of some unfortunately-placed bad guys.

Hooks

Fortune Telling and Divinations - Lihya is capable of divinations of blue magic and (to a lesser extent) astrological origin. 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. She's not terribly good at the astromancy side of this yet, and she would love the help of any generous Astrologians in order to improve.

Mercenary Mage 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/person/place, information gathering through various divinations, charming others. She is also a skilled combatant in her own right and does not shy away from potentially dangerous tasks. Despite a great track record with solo work, mercenaries who've worked with her cite that she works even better with others, tending to fall back on supportive magicks that dramatically increase the strength and prowess of those by her side. If you're interested in any of her services, she'd be happy to help!

Magical Healing, Relaxing Spa Day - 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 magic felt nice. Whether you need healing 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. There are many practical applications for them that she utilizes. While far from her only use, her most common one is using further magic to devour these afterlives. They grant 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 always 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 magic shop. 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 custom items being rare and time consuming to build., potentially requiring several adventures with Lihya in order for the item to be affordable for the average client. Consider them like relic weapon questlines! Buuut, quicker purchases can happen if you wish!)

Masked Carnivale & Other Blue Mage Connections - Lihya is a semi-public figure in Ul'dah. Among Masked Carnivale fans, she may be recognized as a consistent performer in the Masked Carnivale. There, she is known as "Blue Moon," and is known for her cocky and arrogant flair on stage. She also has ties to the Whalaqee and the Blue Mage's Guild. Members of either would likely recognize her as well.

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. When it comes to her teaching blue magic in particular, she's known to be a stickler for following the traditional Whalaqee training methods she underwent. Expect involved hands-on training on reading the souls of beasts in the field, learning how to steal their memories, and guidance through meditation that allows one to harness the ambient natural aether that blue magic requires.

Discord: aevah
In Game: Lihya Zharipoh - Balmung

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'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!I really like various themes. Lihya tends naturally towards being nurturing and sweet, but often exposing the objects of her affection to some dark themes. It doesn't have to be this way though! If you want something in particular, just ask, we might be able to make it work out. :D

With RP stuff out of the way. 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 5 of those years. LGTBQ+ friendly. Like the majority of people in this community, I'm very into video games and anime! I love content in XIV from goldsaucer stuff to ultimates, but I have a particularly keen interest in blue mage content. I've done every blue mage savage achievement for HW, SB, and ShB, and every extreme achievement for all-blue groups as well! Etc etc, you get the picture. If you have blue mage questions I can 100% answer well.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.

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!
