BACKGROUND ––– –

The eldest daughter of the Laesca family, born of an Achitectus Magiteci father at the head of one of Garlemald's largest Magitek firms and a Tribunus Plebis mother, Aria was destined to take over from her father at the head of the family business. Her good academic results allowed her to easily enter the Magitek Academy where she met Cid Garlond and Nero Scaeva with whom she became friends.

But shortly after graduation, Aria found her father in a big discussion with one of his old friends: Gaius van Baelsar. If at first sight she was delighted to see him again, she quickly was disillusioned when she understood the real purpose of his visit. And the language of the Legatus was so perfectly mastered that she had no choice but to resign herself and accept to join the XIVth Imperial Legion in spite of herself, leaving the place to her younger brother at the head of the family business... and thus breaking her dreams.

She, who was a pacifist and hated the army, was involved in the storming of Ala Mhigo and the various battles that took place in Eorzea until the Battle of Carteneau. She completely withdrew into herself and simply obeyed orders, doing the work expected of her.

One day, she began to hear a voice and have strange visions while she was awake. She preferred not to talk about it, for fear that people would think she was crazy. Or worse, to serve as an experience for Aulus mal Asina.

But when Nero joined the legion's main intelligence branch, she was assigned to assist him and help him with Ultima Weapon's project to subdue the other Eorzean city-states, it was too much for Aria. She tried to find a way to leave the Praetorium and the Imperial Army. Desertion was not the solution. She knew that she would be hunted down and killed and that her action would shame her family. With her Magitek knowledge, she made a small device to make herself invisible and one day when she knew that a convoy was coming from Castrum Centri, she took the opportunity to blow up the laboratory from a distance, knowingly leaving her uniform and belongings behind to pretend to be dead.

Aria crossed the Northern Thanalan, taking care to hide the Third Eye on her forehead, and finally arrived at Ul'dah in a cart, after having had yet another vision. Knowing how to fight with a Gunblade, she joined the Gladiators' guild to start a new life... but her destiny as Warrior of the Light eventually revealed itself to her and she accepted the task Hydaelyn gave her.

Alt Verse: After joining Ul'dah and the Gladiators Guild, Aria's steps eventually led her to Mor Dhona where she heard Cid’s name circulate. Soon, she started looking for her old friend, whom she hadn't seen for many years. He offered her to join him among the Garlond Ironworks' team, she accepted with the greatest pleasure and followed him in his adventures.

She helped him as much as she could to defeat Gaius and bring the 14th Legion to its fall, and then worked with him on various projects. The manufacture of weapons and gears for adventurers, but also research on the Crystal Tower and Alexander.

Once these mysteries were solved, she settled for a while in Ishgard where she collaborated with the Skysteel Manufactory to improve the airships of the Holy City. This almost peaceful life suited her perfectly... until Omega crashed into Gyr Abania. Then, she decided to join her old friends to try to face this strange entity.
