It really didn't take long to learn this dance. You just kind of have to put your all into it, and I think enthusiasm matters more than technique, if I have understood the lessons of my Hanuhanu tutors. ...this is a dance, right?

Delphina Snow - FFXIV RP Profile

(If you'd prefer that format, please head on over to her CARRD, where a more in depth backstory can be found as well as a playlist!)

Name: Delphina Snow, Garleans might remember her as Delphinnia jen Cassius Gender: Female Sexual Orientation: Pansexual Age: 27 Birthdate: 8th sun of the 1st Astral Moon Occupation: Private Investigator Height: 5’10” Build: Very slender, just shy of being considered gaunt, scarecrow-esque Skin: Very pale white Hair: Very long, straight mint-green, either hangs loose or is tied up in particularly fancy styles involving all sorts of fancy braids, twists, buns and ponytails. Eyes: Heterochromia, right - blood red, left - faded pale pink, both extremely large and wide

Notable Marks: 

-Her Garlean third eye was removed and replaced with a false one in the form of a faintly glowing cold white gem that looks to be threaded into her forehead with silver magitek fibers.

-Cold blue tracks run on the undersides of her arms and legs.

-Precise surgical scars decorate her torso and back, and plug marks signify where she was hooked up to machines.

Personality: A decidedly peculiar young woman who claims to hail from Ishgard proper, you would hardly know it to speak to her because she knows frighteningly little of the city or current events, not even those transpiring solely within the walls. Delphina isn't the best liar, no matter what story she'll try to spin you about her mysterious heritage, and it's probably not hard to determine that she's not from Ishgard. And probably not from Eorzean either. But her honesty can be refreshing, and the genuine delight in her eyes to experience even simple joys can be endearing to some people.She's an interesting soul, no matter how you spin it though. Often found staring into space or at something that she finds interesting for whatever reason, Delphina is prone to distraction and daydreaming. She can be deterred from a task simply because something fascinating popped up nearby where she happened to be at the time. All of these things might make her chosen profession of private investigator seem strange, but she can be quite dogged in her pursuit of a task and is something of an unconventional genius in her own right.And, you know, mind the occasional madness... All Garlean science experiments have at least a LITTLE buried inside, right? Motivations: Delphina is motivated by what boils down to a quest for closure to heal from a traumatic past. This manifests as vengeance, but that isn’t necessarily what will be the culmination of her story. The people she has come to love and care for are also extremely strong motivators for her, and she is greatly motivated also by experiencing more new wonderful things about a world she’d once thought was quite bleak. Goals: Delphina would say she has three primary goals.

Vengeance

Finding the truth about an Ishgardian cold case from some years ago that has significance to someone she loves very much.

To try all sorts of new things, meet all kinds of new people and just generally have new experiences that she never thought possible. She particularly wishes to eat every dessert in Eorzea and beyond at least once.

Life goal: Beneath it all? Delphina just wants to know what it means to really truly live. Best quality: Though it can also be to her detriment at times, Delphina’s forthrightness and honesty are genuine and even sometimes unintentionally charming. Worst quality: Her insatiable curiosity can get her into trouble, especially since she’s curious about so much in Eorzea, Ishgard and beyond. Fears: Sleep, her mother Hobbies: Dancing, exploring, sampling desserts Talents: In spite of often poor posture in regular situations, Delphina is actually quite agile and graceful. She’s a very fast learner, when she sets her mind to it, and she has such a knack for numbers that she can do complex math calculations in her head. Because of experiments she was subjected to, she also possesses an incredible talent for ice magic. Skills: Her athleticism and grace were honed in both her personal pursuits in professional ballet and her family’s rule of military service. She displays immense skill in both combat and dance, specializing in gunblades, spears and ballet with a general competency in most common martial weapons and modern dances. She is also a trained combat medic and possesses entry-level lab technician knowledge. Alignment: Chaotic neutral Groups: A research facility called the Aetheric Reliquary, her PI business named Snow Investigations Family: Two Garlean cousins who defected - Gideon Faust (Cato eir Cassius), Odessa Faust (Olessia lux Cassius) and one half-Garlean cousin - Dr. Ilan Faust Best friends: Luri Kai, Ingvarn Oarfist, Enrae Gin Relationship: She’s in an open relationship kinda... Status: …but very much in love with… S.O.: ...Dethiram Andoreth. Enemies: Anyone loyal to the old ways of the former Garlean Empire or her familySecret: Because of how understandably angry some people are toward Garleans, Delphina tends to hide this fact with a circlet or headband.
