7.How do their friends and family feel about them as a couple?

A'lexi (A'nijah's older brother): I don't have any opinion. Saw the man. Bit trigger happy around knives perhaps? But overall nothing too bad. If it's what Nijah wants so be it.

A'nhea (A'nijah's father): -simply not told-

Ayo'a (Lea'li's older brother, A'nijah's friend): It took me a while to get that they were… you know. An item. I just thought they had somehow inexplicably become very close friends. Was confused for days when I found out.

Etoilonoix ('friend' of A'nijah, colleague of Lea'li): This stays between us, but gods, A'nijah Tia could do so much better. Honestly, Dipper is as cultured as a boar. There is auroch shite with more decorum. Though I suppose the little Seeker could've done much worse. Like something tall, royal and Garlean. Or said Garlean's grandfather. But don't look at me, I'm not here to exhume the dead. Not before sundown at least.

Kiht'a (A'nijah's uncle): Don't ask me, I've never even met him.

Lea (Lea'li's mother): Nothing wrong with getting yer back blown out by an adventurer of such calibre. Fought the li'l twerp with the rest of the crew and 'Ells, I was layin' on me back too afterwards.

Nateli (Ixali friend): Fun, the gingers are. Lot of volume when together in secret. Ask what redheads are doing then, Nateli should.

Nemoh (another lover of Lea'li): Isn't it just a joy to behold? The way they look at one another, it's so sweet. They're so in love!

Pyha (A'nijah's aunt): Wait now, he met someone? Why no one told me?

Sethorel (hates them both): I'd rather they stuck to their own business and kept out of mine.

Tyago (A'nijah's mother): …I just don't like it. Sure, perhaps he's a nice man, as my son keeps insisting. But I'd prefer he'd stay away all the same.

In general Lea'li as his partner is quite baffling to others because outwards they seem like completely different people. What possibly could bring them together is a mystery. And if A'nijah would try to explain given the circumstnces of how they've met it's even more appaling for many. His brother who had a pleasure to witness Lea'li and how he is with A'nijah is the most receptive of this relationship however. Some others would say that he awfully quick to draw a dagger. @confusedtia

Lea'li throws out innuendos as often as he's throwing knives, which has left some friends and family confused about the type of relationship he has with A'nijah. This especially was the case when they had just started dating, which might have been a blessing for Lea'li since on one hand he was nervous about what others would say, but on the other he couldn't hide his fondness for the little Seeker at all. He still can't, to be honest. But he's also rather jealous, which can make introductions to friendly acquaintances of A'nijah pretty rough. All in all though, most people tend to be accepting. @natstolemysocks

10.What are their parallels, whether in their personalities or their histories?

The moment we got this ask, I panicked and thought 'oh frig, what do they have in common besides being ginger'. But there's a lot of things that Nijah and Lilly share. Being the youngest brother, for example. Both were born and raised in La Noscea too, both started their carreers in Limsa Lominsa, both love sticking their noses in people's business even when they probably really should not. All in all, it makes them work well together, I find. @natstolemysocks

All of this is spot on, really. A'nijah also used to be as hot tempered as Lea'li back in the day. Which subdued quite a lot, or maybe just took a different form later. They both are also passionate as well when it comes to temperament. @confusedtia

What was their first impression of each other?

"Red haired Keeper". That's about it. You'll try to think of something when you are being jumped on with a knife. Not much is coming besides general descriptors. Or what are you ought to do of course. Glad we ended up talking it out in the end. Turns out he thought I kidnapped his brother? Ridiculous, I know. Still remember how anxious he looked when I explained to him what actually had happen. It stuck with me. Not sure why? Yet when we finally found some common ground or so I felt …and I maybe started to sympathise with him a bit… this ass runs off with my grimoire! Hated him guts after that. Thought "If I ever meet this bastard again I'll punch him square in the face". Ah -laughs-and I suppose I did… @confusedtia

I saw this li'l fop with 'is perfect round face 'n big eyes, dressed 'ead te toe like the sun ain't shinin' in La Noscea, thinkin' 'ow the bloody 'ells did a puddin' like 'im kidnap me brother? 'Ad te be an inside job with that tome on 'is 'ips. 'Stole it as souvenir, I did. Was mad proud too. Gave it to me brother when 'e finally let 'imself be found. Good times... 'Ad a good night then, too. Course Twin Blades never clued me in on who I'd been dealin' with. Bleedin' cur 'ad a laugh, I'm sure. 'n Me, I don't think I've been the same after that encounter. Huh... ... .... Maybe if Nijah tied me up next... @natstolemysocks

It really depends for Ayo'a, because if it's something that's close enough to the truth, he won't deny it and his reaction will depend on if the rumor triggers a panic attack or not. If they don't, he'll only react if the rumor actively hinders him, if at all. Should a panic attack be triggered, he'll try to 'escape', whatever that means in the moment. If the rumor is an outright lie and bothersome, he'll use his position and connections to gain more information. If he has any right to do something about it himself, he will. If not, chances are his connectiosn will decide to do something about it for him. Best not to anger his carbuncle, bro or extended family.

Lea'li is the bro. Negative rumors are only negative if they don't make him look cool, work against him or hurt his friends and family. Fiercefully protective of the people he likes, he's the type to react quickly if said rumors about him involve any of them. Nateli couldn't care less. She's a chaotic egg. But hurt her friends and you'll have a very angry Ixal on your tail that doesn't play by the rules.

What type of villain are you? <Quiz

Been thinking about a possible villain arc for Yo'a to do with how he uses arcanima. I guess the result of the quiz would fit, because he's a good lad, and when push comes to shove he definitely does things that aren't always seen as right, but never to harm for harm's sake. What I do see him become later, is a bit drunk on infusing himself with or into various types of aether in a not so controlled way. A little slippery slope...

Stole the link from someone appearing on my dash that unfortunately I can't find back right now. I keep scrolling but the post doesn't show and I forgot the name of the character. I do know however that the character looks amazing and is a fulltime villain and voidsent. Should I find the post again, I'll update this one so you can all say hello to their voidy self. From a safe distance, of course.
