Appearance
A young Miqo'te woman (appears younger than her age), bright red hair with white highlights.
Her right almond shaped eye is bright green, her left eye blue. The pupils are mostly round, but there is hint of an oval-like appearance to them if one looks deeply enough.
Her complexion is moonlight, with very faint markings, a beauty spot, and a single jewel between her eyebrows.
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.
She sports the Archon mark on each side of her neck.
Her right hand is severely scarred, fingers slightly bent a little wrong, as though they set without properly healing.
Her right hand is severely scarred, fingers slightly bent a little wrong.
She is nearly always stylish in whatever attire she's wearing, and she is quite curvaceous; a very clear hourglass figure with athletic toned muscles, a blessed chest, shapely hips and thighs, all more pronounced since motherhood.
Sanjia's accent is a mixture of various ones from around the Star - giving away her youthful travelling - but the most noticeable is the Thavnairian lilt, mixed with a bit of Shroud.
Dispositions
It's rare to find the woman without a smile on her lips. Often welcoming, warm, maternal and willing to share a drink and chat.
Sanjia is someone of strong conviction, she believes in doing good for others, in sharing happiness and positivity, and has endless kindness, sometimes to her own detriment.
Being a performer, she is also a very good actress when need be. In public, she will show what she wants the public to see.
She is also often a practical person, not wasting energy on unnecessary things, or on people who do not know how to appreciate others.
Most importantly, she is protective. Extremely protective of those she holds dear, and will do anything for her loved ones.
Occupations
One may have heard her sing, or witnessed her dancing. Or at least been within ear's reach when she has mentioned such. A well known performer for years.
Those with higher level officer ranks in Maelstrom may know of her work as a covert operative since she was a teenager.
She is a part time co-manager of the Ambrosia Emporium in Mist.
These days most of her work is as an Archon who does field research (namely researching anomalies) and some teaching
She has been conducting research on Akasha for years, long before knowledge of it became well known and has donated research to the Noumenon and Studium.
Familial Connections
Sanjia enjoys making friends, and those who manage to genuinely grow close become trusted and treated like family.
Sanjia's mother sacrificed herself for the life of her daughter and Jia's then unborn twins some years ago, but her father continues to visit constantly and help her out when she needs it.
Sanjia is the very proud mother of six children (yes, six). Twins that are almost reaching school age, and quadruplets still infants.
Jia has a way with animals and has chocobos: Two breeding females, and a miniature red chocobo that is protective of the kits.
She also has two familiars: A songbird composed of mostly Akasha called Alexander, and a cleaning rodent called Pixie.

Rumours & Hooks ~

++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."++

Care to wander? Love to dance?
(easy)
♥ Sometimes 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 The Twelveswood (where she currenly lives), La Noscea, or Thanalan. But she also wanders Gyr Abania, and makes the occasional trips to Thavnair, Dravania and Old Sharlayan. She will always complain if she has to go to a snowy region.♥ Sanjia lived in Tural for around 6 months right after the attack on Tuliyollal, having fallen in love with the nation after needing a break from Eorzea and trauma that she had gone through. She still visits on occasion, and has a small holiday cottage there.
Pop idol in the Far East?
(easy for Far Easterners)
♥ If one enjoyed musical performances in Hingashi some years 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 years about her potentially having been seen around Kugane a few times.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 that involves 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 and the kinds of jobs she's had to do. 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, a very 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.)Echoes of the Heart...
(hard/inquire)
"What makes something real?"
♥ One may find that Sanjia is very sensitive and perceptive when it comes to her surroundings, how people are feeling, trouble in the air? She is an empath, especially when it comes to instincts. There is a deeper meaning to this, but it is not something that she openly discusses (message for info if wishing to know more, but requires 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.
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.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 on anomalies around the star, with the assistance of the knowledge available there and shares it with those who have given her their backing.
Chocobo fanatics!
(easy for chocobo lovers or Shroud dwellers)
♥ Sanjia breeds chocobos, and can be approached by those who would like war-trained or entertainment-trained chocobos. She doesn't train racers, but she does sometimes sell chocobos to racer trainers if they appear better for the sport. She has two brood mothers (an albino (from Gyr abanian purple & black heritage) and a red & white), and a runt red that is just as dangerous as any red courser that may have black chocobo bred into her as well.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 girl 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 often had his daughter with him when he breezed through locales.
The Shroudborn have their secrets...
(easy-mid for Shroudborn Keepers)
♥ There may be some tribal Keepers local to the Twelveswood who know of not only the girl formerly named C'sanjia Dreia - The Cursed Child of Clan Dreia - but of her mother Khaevah Dreia, who had not only continued her tryst with C'saharo, but because of circumstances around Jia's birth was discovered to be half Hyur
(making Sanjia 1/4 Hyur, 1/4 Keeper and 1/2 Seeker - please send a message if interested in past connections).♥ A lesser known rumour is that she is descended from a Padjal family on her mother's paternal Hyur side. It's also known that Khaevah perished in recent years to unnatural/mysterious causes not long before Sanjia's first children were born.Business in La Noscea
(easy for relic and obscure tome buyers/hunters)
♥ La Noscea would have seen much of her in her youth too, but Sanjia also assists at an Emporium in Mist, owned by the Ambrose family. There she occasionally teaches, or helps manage the shop.

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 35 years of age (RP partners should be preferably 25+). I love meeting new people and writing with fun and interesting characters!Sanjia is always looking for friends, but for 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! I use Lightless, and Discord may be offered after some RP and chatting for a bit.
