"In Death... There Is Life..."
Bio
A born and raised Sharlayan, Moenbryda was ever the scholarly type. Even in her younger years, her thirst for knowledge and the unknown was unbridled. It was from this curiosity she befriended Urianger, a fellow boy just as -if not more- intrigued by the world around him.It was in her later years in the studium she took to study under Louisoix Leveilleur. Her talents were struck in Aetheric research and later became an Archon, as well as becoming part of the Circle of Knowing. It was with a heavy heart however, that she stayed in Sharlayan on the order of Louisoix, while Urianger left to Eorzea for further study and prevention of the Seventh Umbral Calamity.

Lore Summary:
What if before Urianger had left to Eorzea, he met with Moenbryda in secret to form an eternal spirit bond with each other. From this bond, they would know if the other was healthy and hale. If they were in danger, they alone had one chance to change the fate of their significant other.It was thanks to this bond Moenbryda managed to miraculously survive the otherwise fatal injury Nabriales dealt her. With it however, came a consequence.Though Urianger and the churgeons were able to help heal her injuries, Moenbryda did not wake from her comatose-like slumber. No amount of spells and incantations willed her eyes to open. It wasn't until further research on the spell revealed her soul was trapped between realms: The Aetherial Sea and the Living World. Not quite living, not quite dead.Although crestfallen on this new developement, the Scions carried onwards in their pursuit of weakening the Ascians, creating a united Eorsea, and in its wake, find a cure for Moenbryda.In that time, Moenbryda slumbered for several months in a stage of limbo. Unable to go back or forward. Stuck to do nothing but faintly hear those around her speak of what tales have transpired.It wasn't until the closing of Doman relations with the Garleans that her body had been pulled by a voice. It called with such a vengeance, her soul had been fully ripped from her body. No longer trapped in an endless purgatory.When her eyes finally cracked open after what felt like eons, it was to see the flittering of purple leaves, and eerily somber light all around her.She had been transported to the first, three years before Thancred appears.In that time abroad in The First, Moenbryda dedicated herself to the cause and enlisted herself to be on the frontlines with Lyna. With it she stuck close to the Crystarium to study any of useful tomes for further aerheric research and the light wardens.It was only when the times were getting truly dire, she set off on her own to take matters into her own hands, which was right around the time Thancred appears.
General
1. IRL comes first over writing responses. We're all busy people. If I somehow miss your reply by a few days, just give me a poke and I'll get back to you when I can!
2. IC ≠ OOC. Mun is not who they write. If there are any problems that arise, talk to me ooc about it.
3. Toxicity = instant block. Homophoiba, racisism and bigotroy of any kind is not allowed. If you spark something up, I will block you. End of story.
4. LGBTQA+ friendly! Please refrain from using slurs or phrases that can come off as fetishization or derogatory. I will once again, block you if it comes to that.
5. Dark Themes: Please ask before interacting! Unless I know you personally, these themes need to be discussed further in a personal ooc conversation before writing them. Examples include: Noncon, Selfharm, Gore, Horror, and Body Horror.Interacting
1. Minors DNI. Mun gets uncomfortable interacting with Muns and Muses under 18. Alphinaud, Alisaie, Ryne and Meteion are the only exception to the underage muse rule.
2. Natural Interaction ≤ Plotted out RP.
I like plotting a little before a bigger scene, but I don't mind freeballing it otherwise.
3. Ships with Chemistry. Open to speed running it if the vibes are chill.
4. Do not Godmod. Please do not assume my Moenbryda interpretation will know your character unless discussed otherwise.

Languages: Eorzean, Old Roegadyn, Thavnarian, Dalmascian, a smidgen of Far Eastern ScriptPersonality: Though her intimidating looks tend to scare off the weak at heart, Moenbryda is an otherwise friendly and chatty individual who loves to be outgoing and involved with everyone around her.Her boisterous energy tends to get her scolded from Urianger in passing, but that never faulters her cheery disposition. Rather, it only goads her onwards.Likes: Cockatrice meatballs, Crisp winter days with a mug of coffee and cream, Star gazing, her dear studium friends and Scions, polishing her axe, aethric conundrums and theories, the occasional roughhousing, risk taking, drinking games and cards.
Dislikes: Utter silence, festering hot heat, lukewarm tea and stale biscuits, Urianger's knack for seeing through her poker face and schemes, closemindedness, petite things she could never pull off wearing; Sleepless nights working too much with too little progress to be shown for it.Extra HCs:
- She really wishes she could find something that makes her look dainty and soft around all these muscular edges she has sometime. Just to see what it's like to feel more girlish than brutish.
- She thinks her skills to yap someone's ear off is a great asset of herself. Urianger may differ on that opinion.
- While the Scions and Co. where out and about in Eorzea with Louisoix, Moenbryda set out on her own course to expound upon her aetheric studies even further. There was no use throwing a pity party for herself missing her friends when there was work to be done!
- The first Archon mark she gained was for survival out in the field, the second one was for Aetheric Studies. The two went hand-in-hand in her eyes, so she double majored.
- Know-it-all. She is prone to throwing her weight around when she knows what she's talking about--and that's pretty often.
-Though it comes off as playful teasing to most of her peers at this point, Monebryda does indeed have a crush on Urianger. Has he noticed this himself? She...can't really get a read on him to tell... Damn stoic 'ol coot.
-Heavyweight: She can hold her liquor like a sailor can hold their feet on swaying tides. Best not to challenger her unless you want a hangover for three days.
- She enjoys wearing accessories and different outfits, but they tend to get in the way while she's doing her research. Maybe a night out is in order sometime soon..
-Cleanliness is next to godliness in her eyes 100%. If she sees a mess, she's getting on your case about it posthaste.
-Shes a total bookworm. Be it researching material or a saucy romance novel, Moen has a stash of books being read by her nightstand or in her satchel.
