Balmung | Crystal | Central Time

Enthusiast of mischief and all things sweet, Mary gives every indication of being an impulsive and immature lady. It is unclear to what extent this demeanor is genuine, for it all may seem like a facade of giggles and jest. Although seldom seen, she is visibly disturbed if left alone with herself. A truly chaotic soul, she is often found at the mercy of her own whims;
Her doom is inevitable.

⠀Ilsabardian⠀

Mary hails from the coastal town of Terncliff. Many folk from Ilsabard may recall the courtesan 'Sapphire Siren'. However, behind closed doors, a blemish on her career had resided. Unbeknownst to the masses, the woman bore a daughter whom she shielded from prying eyes.

⠀Affliction⠀

After the invasion of Werlyt, she seized the opportunity to become known to the world. But the aether that resides within her is not as it was before, as she had suffered before emerging from Garlemald's steel walls. They reveal the fruits of their effort in golden, overaspected colors within her eyes and an affliction searing beneath her skin.

⠀Well heeled⠀

Mary often spends her weekend strolling through the markets and visiting bakeries, spending much of it on delectable tarts or for her vain pleasure. The jingle of gil sings from her brimming pouch with every step she takes, but a flower peddler rarely earns such a ludicrous amount of gil. She isn't famous by any means, so how does the maiden merit this immense bounty?

⠀'Here, this is for you!'⠀

Within the forest of Twelveswood, a botany shop lies in dormant wait before resuming service in an inconstant schedule. Mary appears to operate the quaint abode, regularly decorating it with an array of seasonal flowers at an affordable cost. Naught is known of what befell its former owner and there have been complaints of muffled screams harbored within its walls. Thus far, these accusations have not been held against her.

⠀Garlean Escapee⠀

For most of her life, Mary had lived dangerously close to the garleans. Following the town's capture, unspeakable abuse and violations have scarred Mary mentally and stunted her growth. She has acquainted herself with many soldiers, prisoners, and Garleans alike in her time. Mary is likely a familiar face to many and a failed experiment to others.

Violence (✔) NSFW/Smut (✖)Read and respect! I always read and follow everyone's bios and rules provided if they're somewhere! I hope that you'll treat me with the same respect in return.18+! Mary deals with dark themes in her story and it bleeds into her interactions. These situations can be very heavy, so I ask that my roleplay partners be of age. Please don't be afraid to tell me your limits so we may RP something more casual or drop it!Patience! I will always do my best to match my partner's desired length and reply as swiftly as I can. I try very hard to write good replies, please be patient with me if I'm taking a hot minute! :cRP = IC! Only when my RP tag is applied does it mean I am in character. All else in-game behavior is strictly OOC.Walk-up friendly! I welcome all walk-ups and interactions! I have a slight preference for meaningful long-term plots so that both our characters may benefit (I.E. Develop/Bond), but I am not against fun casual interactions.No metagaming! Please respect what is known about Mary OOC should stay OOC unless pre-established. I find it unfair and not fun when RP is treated like video games where you max efficiency to garner the most benefits. It is unnatural and boring to me!Semi-lore abiding! I only put this here since 'modern' OCs within FFXIV make me very uncomfy... No thank you, not for me. AUs and outfits are okay, but specifically please don't mention words like 'meme' to Mary. I... I won't know what to say-Safe space! This should go without saying but I refuse to interact with transphobic, homophobic, or racist writers. DO NOT interact with me if you fall under any of the aforementioned.

Thank you for taking the time to read about my child Mary! I have been developing her for like... 6 years now, it's got to amount to something right? If you enjoyed reading my carrd, think Mary could fit into your story, or just want to pull aside and talk, feel free to /tell me!
I am just a little nerd, I promise I'm not scary <3
