Felicienne Cherrier

Melancholy were the sounds of a cold Ishgardian night.

An Ishgardian by birth, carries the poise of a noble spirit and the heart of a wanderer, her freckled visage marked by tales of resilience and a yearning for purpose. Trained in the graceful and disciplined art of the Hingan samurai, her blade is as swift as her curiosity, seeking to blend the martial prowess of her adopted swordsmanship with the gentle wisdom she's garnered from a life of hardship and service. Wandering the lands of Eorzea with a tachi at her side, she is a protector not by birthright, but by choice, her every step a dance between the honor of her past and the promise of her future.

OOC Information

Hello there! If you’ve made it this far, thank you for checking out Felicienne’s profile. I’ve been role-playing for a while on FFXIV and really enjoy writing whether they be short one-offs or long-term adventures. I also like checking out smaller role-play venues on occasion. My writing style varies depending on the scene, but I tend to do a paragraph or more when doing small-group RP and short posts in crowded areas. I prefer to RP in-game.I am a lore-abiding role-player for the most part, leaving room for some light lore-bending here and there for the sake of creativity and prefer to interact with those who role-play similarly! Unfortunately, I am not interested in role-playing with self-insert Warriors of Light or characters from other universes. I mean no offense; it is just not for me!I’m also not looking for RP with players under the age of 21. Please do not confuse my character’s interactions for my personal OOC points of view or intentions. Let’s keep things fun and respectful!If you have questions or interested in setting up RP with Felicienne, send a tell or walk up if my RP tag is up. I’m in PST/GMT-8 time-zone and usually available in the evenings.
