Ember's Warmth Ivy's Embrace Pregnant Asahi One of these things is not like the other.

On one of my first venue visits, I met and drew @fairlight-rp.bsky.social's alts. Tonight I got to meet her main! Working on getting better with angles. And food.

Mina is Krillen. She's one of the strongest 'normal' people in the star, but even with her Reaper pact she'd lose a fair fight with the Warrior of Light, most of the Scions, or any of the threats they face.

Mina has worn glasses ever since retiring from the Bloodsands. She discovered while trying to exchange notes in Sharlayan that she is incredibly nearsighted and not everyone writes in giant block text like she did at the time. Whether it's genetic or due to multiple concussions is unclear.

Mina's from the Blindfrost. Coerthas is sandals and shorts weather for her. It's not the temperature that bothers her. It's the wind.

Ask her wives and girlfriend. Mina would describe herself as omnisexual if she knew how she was attracted to people had a label. She likes everyone but definitely notices gender enough to have a strong preference for femmes.

Zero. Being able to rip open void portals is such a Get Out Of Jail Free card for all of Eorzea's problems. Fatal fall distance? Portal. Big explosion? Portal. Don't feel like dealing with annoying people? Portal.

Since you're brining my dearly departed Gramma into this, I assume you're asking about THOSE Gposes. Considering Mina's love of smutty romance novels is character bleed from my Gramma's love of smutty romance novels? Probably something to the effect of "She looks happy and satisfied, good for her."

I think, without a shadow of a doubt, it's the venue @mooterus.bsky.social and I opened. Ember & Ivy was supposed to just be a backdrop, a setpiece, a place where we could go to RP with our friends when none of our usual haunts were open. It turned into the kind of place we wished we could go.

Some kind of tank top/cami and short shorts. She just like me fr.

#wolqotd Natsuki: 76 Garron: 38 Brenn: 37 Elara: 36 Mina: 34 Alula: 33 Saya: 31 Lyana: 30 Una: 25 Isabeau: 22 Myraelis and Blessed Continuance, being a Voidsent and a Sin Eater respectively, are effectively ageless, but are much older than the rest of my cast.

Being vague on purpose to prevent spoilers: If we're treating "A smile better suits a hero..." as a rightfully deserved Free Space on the XIV Feels Bingo Card? "Remember...remember us... Remember...that we once lived..." I had to walk away for a few hours to digest that moment.

Mina is a Reaper who uses twinblades and whose fighting style is far more reminiscent of the Turali Vipers. The IC explanation is that it's an easier transition for her having been a bare-handed martial artist most of her life, and she finds scythes relatively clunky. OOC? I like playing VPR more.

The fall of Doma resulted in a complete shitshow of a collapse of the XIIth Legion's Othardian occupational forces, with many of the former Garlean conscripts taking their training and experience to assist in the then-ongoing struggles in Bozja and Dalmasca.

I did ages ago, for a flashback pose~ Mina has completely lost the bronze tint to her skin since leaving the Blindfrost, though, and also dyes her hair blue because her natural pink-ish color makes her look like the Angura's idea of a ghost.

There's actually a lot more than two that make up her personality, but if you put a gun to my head and made me pick the two that shine through the brightest? It's Chie's struggle to balance her boy-ish nature with her femininity, and Uncle Iroh's wisdom forged of life's hardest trials.

She does. Her mild misunderstandings around the specifics of Eorzean grammar, though, lead to her referring to her three partners almost exclusively with their pet names. The sort of harmless, funny quirks that come with learning Eorzean as your fourth language after Doman, Hingan and Auri, teehee.

Mina has: -participated in a heist to relieve the Holy See of multiple relics -smuggled hundreds of tonze of controlled substances into Old Sharlayan over the years -beaten multiple people to death in public, with multiple credible witnesses

Alula is literally Mina if she had learned to fight for entertainment instead of finishing the fight, so to speak. Before she was forced to retire from the Arcadion, she was an extremely flashy Light-Heavyweight who spent about as much time on solid ground during her fights as a bird in flight.

As a reminder, WoL Mina is still an emotionally stupid lesbian whose approach to problem solving is slowly escalating levels of nonlethal violence until the other party knocks it off or forces her to finish the job. RP Mina does not hold this viewpoints.

I like Primal because it's where my friends are. I hate that the Marepocalypse absolutely gutted Primal's RP scene. Mock people who 'need' mods to RP, but taking freedom of expression away from people was never going to be a net positive for the health of the RP scene on any DC.

Hello~ I'm Olivia Fairlight (she/her) and this is my FFXIV RP-centric presence on Bsky, seeing as it's my main hobby and all~ I'm here for the big, emotional moments, filling in the gaps in the lore SQEX left behind, and all the little slices of life that fall into place between adventures.

Lv 1 .

Mina is canonically a Reaper who fights with dual blades because she finds scythes cumbersome as someone who used to fight with her bare hands, so her 'Reaper' form is actually VPR. Also I hate playing RPR, it doesn't hit the right buttons for me, so I don't.

#WoLQotD If you are not using 2FA on your XIV account, why not? I ask this because an FC member just lost gods only know how much stuff to some jabroni in Norway. It's 2025. Use 2FA, for the love of whatever higher power you subscribe to.

Hear. Feel. Think. Cope. Seethe. Mald.

Mina pops through a void portal and goes for the kill immediately. It works (ask the archfiend she bisected on the first blow she landed).

If I had a 5 gil for every time someone drew one of my blorbos, I'd have 10 gil. Which isn't a lot, but it fuckin' rules that it's happened twice.

Define "run". Mina's daily runs? She aims for a 7 minute malm once warmed up, which comes out to ~8.6 mph. A flat out sprint under her own natural athletic ability, she can hit ~20mph and hold it for 20-30 seconds. If she uses void shortcuts, it's about the same speed as the aetheryte network.

The amount of Guts and Casca that I've accidentally written into Mina would be alarming were it not for the Brand of Sacrifice on my arm and the complete (so far) set of Berserk Deluxe Edition on my bookshelf.

I SAID UPDATE AND SHUT DOWN NOT UPDATE AND RESTART

Mina has the confident swagger of someone who could break you in half if she wanted to.

Mina crashed out so hard after the apparent death of her first wife that she drifted from the wilderness of Nagxia to the Bloodsands in Ul'dah. When she could think straight again, she was the reigning champion and was dating her "coach". She retired shortly after that and they got married.

Even split of shitposting, lesbian yearning, and suggestive selfies. Source: it actually exists, both IC and OOC on Discord.

Mina is perpetually set to The Ondo Cups for using the funny exploit in Tempest to level BLU alone when I get bored.

This came up in my FC's Discord many moons ago. www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6cS... Notice the lack of release. It is just pressure. Unrelenting. Stifling. Just like the first time you hear this fight in SMT4, you don't get a turn when you step into the ring with Mina unprepared. You perish.

Unless impractical for the activity she's doing, every IC outfit of Mina's will without question contain: -Open-toed shoes -Thick-rimmed glasses -Wedding band

This is why we can't have nice things.

I'm not saying Mina has a type, but four of her 5 serious romantic pursuits have been Viera (or Viera-passing), with their size and ears being points of attraction. Leave it to the trans girl to accidentally RP as a chaser /s

Mina was mostly annoyed that she wasn't being allowed to be depressed in silence because of this woman who didn't speak enough Doman or Hingan to communicate with her (and Mina herself spoke no Eorzean at the time). They've known each other a decade now, and been together for half of it.

Unless she's on her boat, Mina gets really cranky if she doesn't get her 5 malm run in first thing in the morning.

It's a bio, a timeline, a relationship breakdown... Mina's Carrd is practically an encyclopedia entry on the woman. My other big characters have Carrds too but nowhere near as detailed.

Mina used one to make her tail bigger because as she got faster and stronger she needed more counter balance to stay effective. She also thinks it's cuter but good luck getting her to say that, there's maybe 6 people shed admit that to.

I soft rebooted Nyssara/Isabeau because demure, shy ward hiding from her house was just not interesting or fun for anyone, including me, after the novelty wore off. Brash, party animal ward crashing out on purpose just to irritate her house is much more fun for all.

I still think the next XIV x MonHun collab should be Bazelgeuse carpetbombing random zones like Deathwing pre-Cataclysm and if you disagree you hate fun

I treat MSQ/WoL Mina as an AU. She's basically the same character, just with a few key life events that played out differently (first wife is definitely dead, married Aymeric before leaving for the east during SB, retired from the Bloodsands much earlier).

Beyond useless, though she has many friends she could learn from, and would like to. Fishing, however? (Not pictured: the "Women Want Me, Fish Fear Me" hat)

Mina's canon fighting style is literally "what if a Joshi Pro girlie also knew MMA?" There is a lot of strong style puroresu (and pro wrestling in general) in the way she carries herself in fighting arenas where the entertainment of the spectators matters as much as winning.

Mina and Lyana were both in Thanalan and saw it happen in the distance. Nyssi was in Coerthas and saw it until Dalamud passed behind the mountains. Everyone was a safe distance away. The rest of my cast was so far away they never noticed the impact.

Mina's parents are on her tribe's council and they're on good terms. Just haven't seen each other for 15 years or so. Doesn't know where they are. Silly nomad tribe! Lyana and Una see their parents a lot. Healthy relationships. The rest of my cast is orphaned or estranged. Woo.
