Born as Saeko Suyn in secret along with her twin sister Sasara to Cynauriel and Syn'a Suyn. Their grandfather, an evil and greedy man named Genjiro, planned to marry Cynauriel off for title and standing among the elite. Their mother was forced to run with the girls, leaving Syn'a behind, when Genjiro discovered the girls existence.

Living under new aliases in the Shroud, Cynauriel met a new man that she fell in love with and married. He was an excellent stepfather to the young girls who grew up believing he was their own father. Their new life was shattered years later, days before the girls 6th namesday, as Cynauriel and her new husband were killed after being discovered by a vengeful Genjiro. The twins managed to escape with their lives and vanished out into the wilds.

The twins survived in the wilderness with the help of a kindly older woman who would conveniently "forget" items in places the twins could find and use to survive. As they grew older Sasara (now going by Sammie) and Saeko (now going by Sadie) each developed in their own ways. Sammie became an excellent huntress and grew to despise society. Sadie, on the other hand, longed to be part of it. She would make up stories of a living fairy tale world taking place in the main city-states using the images from a discarded children's book she found. Sadie dreamed of crowded events, friendly people, beautiful dresses and of one day meeting a handsome prince and living happily ever after.

Tragedy struck once more at the age of 17 when her sister went missing after a hunt. After a long search, Sadie found the body of her twin sister and was now alone in the world. With nothing to return to in the wilds, Sadie decided to try and settle into city life. Over time she began her career as a fashion designer and decorator. Today she has a very successful design studio thanks to her drive and a lot of hard work. She still looks forward to starting a family of her own one day.

Hooks

"Need a designer? I'm your girl!"
Sadie used to run her own design studio out of the Goblet shopping arcade, but due to the re-emergence of her grandfather she no longer owns it. She is still glad to show a few different looks for outfits (no gil required). She can also come and design your apartment/house (this does cost real gil which will be discussed before hiring her IC).

"Are your hands...glowing?"
Due to a bad attempt at trying to help with magic she didn't understand, Sadie is unable to absorb enough aether to survive without the help of crystals embedded into the tops of her hands. Sadie's aether is unique in that it changes based on her emotional state. These changes are reflected underneath the surface of the crystal's surface. This does actively change during RP, so eagle eyed players may notice it updating during a RP session.

"A comb can be just as effective as a dagger if you use it right...hey stop laughing, it can!"
Interested in showing Sadie new ways to spar? She always takes what she learns and implements them in new and unique ways to her move set. Sadie is a non-lethal combatant and is more interested in keeping a real fight from becoming dangerous than trying to hurt anyone. (This is temporarily on hold due to her current pregnancy ^_^)

OOC

About Me:
Married/mother of 2. IRL will always come first, but I do make myself available as much as possible.I have been roleplaying in FFXIV for a little over 3 years, a majority of that on Sadie.I generally have a very laid back attitude when it comes to lore as long as it isn't going to be something completely game breaking.I range anywhere from single sentence to multi-paragraph responses in RP depending on the conversation and Sadie's current emotional state. Just be interesting and paragraph size truly won't matter to me.I apologize now, but I LOVE bad puns. This unfortunately carries over into my RP at times. If you don't have a sense of humor then I am probably not the girl for you as an RP partner.

Looking for:
Casual RP, especially slice of life.RP involving home decorating or clothing designSomeone with patience with developing plots. I love slow burn story lines. If you rush to the end, how can you enjoy the book, right? I measure my storylines in weeks, months and years, not by number of sessions.Those who study magic and can assist in helping her control her unique magic better. (Warning: Her magic touches on parts of the lore, but is not strict to it.)Spars. Sadie is a unique and unconventional fighter. What she lacks in strength, she easily makes up for with speed, agility and unconventional fighting methods.Most importantly, someone who knows IC is NOT OOC. I am not looking for love OOC.
Won't Do-
Character deathRP with god mode characters. I don't have a thing with being strict to lore or anything, but a character who can just use some ability to get them out of any situation without consequence makes for some boring RP.
