Ea Sangrid de Sotelier

"Who are you when no one is watching?"

Profile

Half Elezen | Ishgardian | Twenties? | 6'3

A pretty face within the crowd.
A ghost in a blink of an eye, easily forgot.
All that might linger is an afterthought, fleeting as a glimpse of unnamable colour.

She stands at an average height among her peers, though built of well proportioned frame more robust than most female Elezen. Despite years spent away, her upbringing within a noble household left its lasting mark. There is a nuanced grace in the way she carries herself, accompanied by an air of self possession to compliment. Her choice of attire leans towards practical and reserved, favoring high collars and long sleeves.Lustrous locks of pale, platinum blond reaching her upper back are often kept in neat half braids. Eyes of undecided hues twixt green and blue, clear as untouched lake, peer too deep and perceive too much. In their still depths, lie a pervasive sense of pensive melancholy. Though fair, her skin bears a warmer tone that tans beneath sunny climes. Ever composed, she bears a genteel countenance, rarely giving in to emotional outbursts. Not one to waste words, she speaks with clarity and calm of still waters, delivered with a voice of rich depth just beneath light husky layer.She favors and often wears the fragile scent of frozen blooms when it does not interfere with her work. So delicate and light with changing notes, the ghostly scent is easily overwhelmed. It is distinct upon the first breath and fades thereafter.

Dame | Heretic | Outrider

Once a knight of Ishgard serving House Sotelier, Sangrid presumably perished along with seven of her peers when they challenged an elder dragon during the Dragonsong War. The truth of their murders came to light when a Dzemael relative of the deceased caught wind of her existance and plotted to acquire evidence. Sangrid evaded their hunt for justice for many years.The elusive heretic for reasons undisclosed, surrendered willingly into the grip of Ishgard's authorities. Her trial was famous within Ishgard. To the outrage of the families of her fallen peers, her death sentence was retracted upon the interference of a dragon. She was instead collared and bound to serve as an outrider for years to come. The Outrider has worked tirelessly through Ishgard’s restoration since, securing opportunities to redeem herself.The end of the Final Days opens a new chapter. Her active, and bold participation in fighting against the threat of Blasphemies finally won Sangrid her freedom.

De Sotelier

Sotelier is a long standing vassal house to Durendaire, contributing to the Dragonsong War with its expertise on defensive wards and vivimancy. When sons and daughters were plenty, Sotelier's bloodline was known for producing exceptional diviners attuned to reading the movements of Dravanian Horde. Like many houses that survived the Dragonsong War, Sotelier suffered heavy losses that threatens its survival.Family is complicated. After years of living on the periphery of the minor house, the Dowager Viscountess legitimised Sangrid as a member of the household. Sangrid is, however, wary of Ishgard's social and aristocratic scene as a whole due to her past notoriety.

Hooks

Of Dragons & Heretics

Were you on the other side of the Dragonsong War? You might have met, or chanced upon her for good or ill.
Do you wish to integrate back into Ishgardian society? Sangrid has had resounding success and may be willing to aid the lost and ostracized to find their footing.

"Somehow, she managed to convince the Tribunal to free Ser Jeaumereux from the gaol. Crazy ain't it? Perhaps there's a way out of dead ends, and lost causes are worth a second look."

Ishgard's High Society

She seeks to find her footing within Ishgard's social circle to benefit her house. While she rubs shoulders with a few Houses of considerable renown, Courdelion and Veilleux, solid connections are few and far between.

Outrider & Naturalist

Well travelled with a skillful hand in cartography. She enjoys exploring the unfamiliar, learning the pieces that make up the living clockwork of the land, to know its pulse. She has been a very successful outrider, able to maneuver unobtrusively through dangerous terrain and situations alike to bring back valuable intel. Perhaps you have heard of her exploits.

War & Freedom

A daughter of war, her early childhood was spent among the strong in Gyr Abania. She is a veteran of the Dragonsong war and her forays in the battlefield extended to aiding the Ala Mhigan resistance and finally its liberation. She detests slavery and oppression. Perhaps you have fought alongside her, or cooperated in smuggling conscripts and prisoners to safety.

A weary heart still beats

A long time ago, she once dedicated herself to help the broken mend. Perhaps she aided you once upon a time.

"The timid, awkward Miqo'te from that flower shop? His name is Moko. I heard the lady saved him from an unfortunate fate. He's not qutie all there."

Famous Chocobo

Sangrid and a team of Aetherscale companions participated in a perilous Chocobo carriage race "Death Race: Thanalan" hosted by the Calamity Racing Society. With her own Chocobo Munin at the helm, they won! Munin has since become the mascot. The Chairwoman, Cocola Cola and Sangrid are discussing future collaborations and business deals. There are plushies and even a drink named Munin Black! Are you a fan?

Aetherscale Enterprises

She has strong connections with Aetherscale Enterprises in Thanalan, active in many ventures and expeditions: mining operation at the Wellwick Mine, Firmament Restoration Initiative, Wild Warden Island, and most recently Saint Bodenolf Free Regiment among others. All of which have earned her considerable merits from the Grand Companies.

- Restoring order to neglected territories.
While the Dragonsong war demanded all the focus and resources from its leaders, territories and the common folk had to fend for themselves.
