Sangrid de Sotelier

"Soldiers return to homes they do not recognise,
Homes with room too small to embrace what they have become."

Profile

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. 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 tidy 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 reminiscent 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. From Coerthas' frigid wilds emerged a hunter given the moniker Snowpelt, for the white bear fur she shrouds herself in, likening her to the beast itself.One fateful encounter with her fellow countryman who recognised her would strip her disguise, and brand her a heretic. Her capture was sanctioned by the houses of those seven souls who died while she survived. For years she eluded them. Only at the end of the Dragonsong War did she surrender herself to Ishgard's authorities. Her trial caused quite a stir. After moons of incarceration, she was bound to serve as an outrider for years to come. The Outrider contributed to suppressing countless skirmishes, served as courier between Dravanian Forelands and Hinterlands, and mapped the ever changing geography of the Sea of Clouds to aid expeditions.The end of the Final Days opens a new chapter. Her effective and bold participation in fighting against the threat of Blasphemies finally earned Sangrid her freedom.

De Sotelier

Sotelier is a long standing vassal house to Durendaire, contributing to the Dragonsong War with intelligence on the Dravanian Horde from their gifted star-gazers. When sons and daughters were plenty, Sotelier's bloodline was known for producing exceptional holy mages and the odd dragoon. 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 Baroness 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 may be willing to aid the lost and ostracized to find their footing.

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.

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.

"The champion. The lancer. The hero.
His hero."

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?
