Sanjia (Jia) Dreia
"Care to wander?" ~Enigmatic | Energetic | Lyrical | Loyal | Intelligent | Wanderer | Archon
At a glance ~
Appears to be?
++ A young Miqo'te woman (early 30s, though looks barely in her 20s), bright red hair with dark magenta hues found within. Her right almond shaped eye green, left blue, and though the pupils are mostly round, there is hint of an oval-like appearance to them if one looks deeply enough.
Her complexion is quite porcelain, very faint markings, a beauty spot, and a single jewel between her eyebrows. She is nearly always stylish in whatever attire she's wearing, and she is quite curvaceous; a very clear hourglass figure, blessed chest, shapely hips and thighs, all more pronounced since motherhood. Her right hand is severely scarred, fingers slightly bent a little wrong.
New - A spattering of tattoos adorn her body: stars, moons and sigils. Upon first sight they appear random and simply for decor, but those well versed in Arcane arts may spot the hidden patterns within the 'random' decorations on her pale flesh.Disposition?
++ Usually quite sunny and fancy-free, it's rare that one would find a frown or any kind of negative emotion within her appearance. Whether or not her expression is always true requires some amount of familiarity perhaps.Occupation?
++ One may have heard her sing, or witnessed her dancing. Or at least been within ear's reach when she has mentioned such.
She can be seen occasionally performing in small establishments and sometimes street and orphanage performances for the children. She is also a co-manager of the Ambrosia Emporium in Mist.
These days most of her work is as an Archon who does field research while also teaching a small range of subjects - she has been conducting research on Akasha for a number of years, long before knowledge of it became more well known.Relationships?
++ One will often find her among friends both old and new. Her father tends to visit her very regularly out of protectiveness. She occasionally makes mention of family who are spread around and about, many found frequenting the Ambrosia Emporium in Mist. She is a happy and proud mother of twin Mixqo'te toddlers, and there is a rumour in Tural (where she is currently residing) that a powerful red Miqo'te mage has been claimed as the 'missus' of a local large red hare.

Rumours & Hooks ~

Care to wander? Love to dance?
(easy)
++ Quite often the red-headed Miqo'te can be found wandering through regions casually, more often than not there will be a tune on her lips or dance in her steps. If one is very lucky, they may find her around one of the number of crystal formations in the land, making them sing with her dance. Skilled in Kriegstanz, and uses it with magic too, the chakrams serving as a focus.++ One might find her usually around La Noscea, the Twelveswood, or Thanalan. But she also wanders Gyr Abania, and makes the occasional trips to Thavnair and Dravania. She will always complain if she has to go to a snowy region.++ UPDATE: Sanjia suddenly took her family with her to Tural on the tail end of the conflict there, and will be found there most of the time - though travels to Eorzea now and then by Aetheryte. She decided to move there after talling in love with the southern region.Pop idol in the Far East?
(easy for Far Easterners)
++ If one enjoyed musical performances in Hingashi five of years or so ago, then they may find that the woman resembles one Cassandra Nightingale, who was rather popular with her talent for singing and harp playing for a time in Kugane, before mysteriously disappearing from public view.++ Rumours spread in more recent times about her potentially having been seen around Kugane.Want to know a secret?
(possible for Maelstrom, inquire first please)
++ Travelling and performing tends to lead to contacts. So does other kinds of work, though the kind that she won't talk openly about. Those who are higher up in Maelstrom would have more knowledge of her connection to them. They would also know what happened to her in her more recent rumoured 'visit' to Kugane (message if wanting to know more).(Sidenote: Sanjia is, in general, an extremely skilled sorceress and martial combatant who has fought in wars - and though she would rather avoid conflict, she has been trained from childhood not to be merciful to anyone who poses a genuine threat to herself of her family.)Playing with the element(al)s?
(inquire or catch her in the act)
"Like music to the senses..."
++ Though it's rare to overhear her speaking about such publicly, there is the chance that one might overhear her in a discussion of various magical classes. Elements (and Elementals) appear to be something she knows quite a bit about, and one may spy her with a stave or rapier (though she does prefer her chakrams more often than not). Elementalist by nature, she has a great deal of control over such, has so since childhood.Echoes of the Heart...
(hard/inquire)
"What makes something real? If I can feel, touch, smell, taste and see it..."
++ One may find that Sanjia is rather sensitive and perceptive when it comes to her surroundings, how people are feeling, trouble in the air? She is something of an empath, especially when it comes to instincts. There is another deeper meaning to this, but it is not something that she openly speaks of with just anyone (message for info if wishing to know more, but generally she'd need a good reason to reveal this to most people).++ Animals also tend to be drawn to and 'listen' to her at times, and she is sometimes able to use a calming aura to calm them if needed. Perhaps you've seen her wandering among groups of animals that don't mind her presence.Did someone say Archon?
(easy for Sharlayans)
++ With many years of her personal specialised study and research in Akasha (or Dynamis) under her belt, along with her personal insight into such energy, Sanjia made quite a name for herself in Old Sharlayan since the Final Days and was allowed to study for and complete the Archon exam. She now conducts research with the assistance of the knowledge available there and shares it with those who have given her their backing.Excuse me, is this your half-cast?
(easy for travelers, Twelveswood Keepers, C tribe Seekers, Gridanians, Thavanairians, other performers)
++ Those of Thavnair (and many other regions, honestly) may possibly have some memory of the red-headed Miqo'te whose appearance was more of a Keeper than that of her Seeker father, C'saharo Tia (a historian and bard, native of Thavnair originally). Though he was - and is still - a wanderer, he occasionally had his daughter with him when he breezed through locales.++ Alternatively, there may be some tribal Keepers local to the Twelveswood who know of not only the girl formerly named C'sanjia Dreia, but of her mother Khaevah Dreia, who had not only continued her tryst with C'saharo, but was half Hyur (making Sanjia 1/4 Hyur, 1/4 Keeper and 1/2 Seeker - please send a message if interested in past connections). Rumour is that she is descended from a Padjal family on her mother's paternal side. Khaevah was also recently discovered to have died of unnatural/mysterious causes just before Sanjia's children were born.++ La Noscea would have seen much of her in her youth as well, regularly visiting extended family, performing, and getting into all sorts of trouble.++What do people have to say about her?"She always knows how to keep me on my back foot. Her smile will disarm me, and the Twelve forbid I ever try to make her do something she doesn't want to do.""RADIANT! Small in stature, but ENORMOUS in personality!""Doesn't miss a beat. And always has this smile that either looks like she's teasing you or knows more than she'll say. It's frustrating. But all in all she's a nice lady and always seems happy to help someone out."++

OOC ~
Thank you for taking the time to peer through Jia's carrd!I am a human who lives in Eastern Australia (GMT +10) and over 30 years of age (RP partners should be preferably 21+). I love meeting new people and writing with fun and interesting characters!Sanjia is always looking for friends, though as far as more than that, it will always depend on whether we're able to sync up times regularly and natural character chemistry. I'm always looking for long-term RP partners, but don't like to pre-plan a bunch. I kinda just go with the flow of natural narrative. That means if Jia is not feelin' it, or disagrees, or even argues with someone, it is what it is and it's of course all IC.
IC does not equal OOC.
Metagaming/Godmoding is unappreciated.
Do feel free to throw ideas at me, please!That said, I love a good story, slice of life, dark themes, silly themes, random adventures, one on one talks and more, so let's get some fun and dramatic/zany/deep/casual interactions and scenes going!Feel free to contact me in game! Discord might be offered upon request.
