Bio
Her eyes bore a dull light in the haunted gaze that seemed to pass right through him. He'd call her ordinary if he wasn't so tuned to the tells of war-torn souls. So, this was her. The god hunter, the Warrior of Light.What exactly what he expecting? Halone herself descended into a mortal frame? A living heroic sculpture that radiated primordial light? In the end, even he couldn't even say. But it certainly wasn't what stood hunched and bruised before him.-Thoughts of a Former Temple Knight
M'laiboli Cirha
<< The Warrior of Darkness >>
Echo-blessed Eikon hunter and weapon collector.
Age: mid-late 20s
Gender: Female
Race: Seeker/Keeper Miqo'te
Heritage: Gyr Abanian, La Noscean born
Occupation: ex-Warrior of Light, Warrior of Darkness,
Adventurer by trade, independent raider by hobby,
& Storm Captain of the Foreign Levy.
Voice: Speaks low from her throat, light and raspy with a slight drawl
Canonical jobs: former BRD turned DRK (by 6.0), DRG, MCH, WHMPersonality:
Impish, with a sarcastic, deadpan humor. Overambitious and overconfident.
A seemingly aimless woman with an aloof air to her and deeply resigned to her fate.
Craving any way out to live on her terms, desperately so. Reserved, even more so post-ShB, she speaks rarely but when she does she is not too subtle in speech.
Genuine and blunt to those dear to her.
Where we're at now...After the events of Shadowbringers, following a lasting injury from absorbing the Lightwardens' aether and her battles against both Hades and The Emissary, the mantle of
"The Warrior of Light" is hung up for good.Instead, M'laiboli spends her recovery in relative solitude (minus the company of one Fray) before returning to The First and pledging her protection as their warden of the night sky. The now reclaimed "Warrior of Darkness" settles quietly in Lakeland, traveling between shards as the shard rebuilds. All the while, another holding the Blessing of Light would take her stead in what will come to pass in Endwalker...She would be called upon to fulfill her duties as Storm Captain and Eikon Slayer when the blasphemies would swarm the world. When the new Warrior would be nowhere to be found and the horde would overwhelm all her allies, she would nearly succumb to the ranks herself. Were it not for one final, and permanent, summoning of her Living Shadow. Allowing Fray to finally take over would cement her preordained role as a Dark Knight.
From Dusk to Dawn:The ex-Warrior of Light and former Scion receives an invitation to join the group in their voyage to the land of Tural. While she doesn't decline, she instead chooses to approach the opportunity in another way: To search for a better place to live this life where she is not known. To accept a long standing offer from Fray."Ask, and we shall quit this place forever."
Other RP notes:

> Loves and has befriended Moogles
> Eden (Savage), TEA, and TOP are canon
> Fray/WoL is canonical and present post-ShB into DT
> Echo flashback are common as ever, she has just become skilled at hiding it
> Only child raised by a young single father and his 3 colleagues
> Low-aptitude in magic originally; due to the surge in primordial light, ability to wield light magic increases (leading to WHM)
