Cecilia Nadir

Sometimes, how you're raised, isn't who you become. In Cecilia's case, she found herself torn between the world of her parents, and the call of something greater. Raised in a relative lap of luxury in occupied Ala Mhigo, she found that the disparity between her countrymen who bent the knee to their oppressors, and the pain suffered by those who wished to be free, was too much to bear. Through discipline, love, and a great deal of help from others, Cecilia found her way out of what would have been a doomed path.The woman, now grown, is an inheritor of the religious traditions of The Destroyer. Having been influenced and taught by a wayward Fist of Rhalgr, she has grown to mix the teachings of the old, with the techniques of the new, finding herself wielding various weapons and martial arts in an effort to avoid the mistakes of the fallen order.She learned all she could, saw as much as she might, and ultimately, fought for the freedom of her home. Though danger always looms, this adventurous, exuberant woman hopes that all that she's endured will help her forge a way for others to find empathy in each other. She tried not to let her time around the Garleans go to waste, using their permitted resources to dive into academia. Though she is evenly split between scholarly pursuits and martial training, it is through the expression of combat that she finds the most meaning.Eventually, she came to be employed by the mercenary company, The Steelgrin Sirens, working as one of their historical researchers, on occasion. When that is not called for, they find that this explosive woman is more than happy to throw herself headfirst into danger in order to protect her friends.

Cecilia's features are more handsome than they are delicate. With a pronounced nose, and hard jawline, her features strike a distinct shape. Soft, purple eyes are shaded by a thick, commanding brow, and very rarely will you find her painted lips wearing anything other than a smile. Her hair is incredibly long, usually done in a traditional style to keep it up. Beyond that, she finds a great deal of joy in playing with different looks, but even on less experimental days, she maintains expertly done makeup.Physically, Cecilia is, in a word: powerful. She stands well over 6 fulms, and her figure is heavily muscled. Buff arms lead to broad shoulders, with clear, visible strength on display in each of her movements. The trunk of her body is thick and squared with her conditioning making her silhouette slightly boxy. Her legs are heavy, staying in tune with the rest of her shape, giving her a wholly strong frame.Finally, her sense of style is, to put it simply, garish. She has a strong affinity for flowers, bright, vibrant colors, and flowing, fun cloth. Cecilia isn't afraid to show skin, and does often. But no matter what she has on, she makes sure to be incredibly colorful. If she can help it, there will almost undoubtedly be butterflies somewhere embroidered on her person. We should all be grateful that Lisa Frank does not have a clothes line in Eorzea.
