Character Name: Minfilia Warde Series: Final Fantasy XIV Timeline: pre-The Parting Glass. Canon Resource Links:Fandom Wiki.
Personality: Minfilia Warde is a woman fueled by her resolve to bring forth a better world, and a woman who places faith in her chosen deity-figure to do what is right. She leads, when no other can - she took on her position after a horrible time of mourning, and keeps smiling for most people. She tends to hide her more negative emotions, in fact - only letting people such as the Warrior of Light see past her facade of handling everything by herself. (Even when she feared - and had it confirmed - her close friends and allies had simply vanished into nothingness, she did not allow herself to mourn in public company.) However, while her positive thoughts and lack of negative emotions are mostly a facade, her kindness and love for the world is not.
Truly, Minfilia believes in the kindness of the world. While she, of course, has groups she dislikes - such as Garlemald - she has a deep connection to the tribes of Eorzeas. What, truly, separates them from the Spoken? Why must they be treated as simple beasts? In her younger times, Minfilia even wished to unite them against the threat of Garlemald, against the wishes of others who trusted her judgement. (In the end, she did not manage to do this - but she still believes it is better to listen to them then simply dismiss what they say due to their race or birth.) She believes this for people, as well - her organization allows almost anybody.
Minfilia is strong-willed. In both cases where she was kidnapped - both by dangerous people who could kill her easily - she dare not give up what they wanted. (Information in one case, and a magic relic in another.) She trusted in others being able to save her. That trust extends to her day to day life - people may be smarter, or stronger, or even more compelling then her... but Minfilia will trust their judgement, and will listen to their perspective. As long as they do not deceive her, Minfilia will be pleased to listen.
This is not to say Minfilia does not have bias, nor does she not attempt to protect herself. (As seen when she first meets Elidibus, the Ascian in White - she still is simply aggressive towards this man, even if there is something different between him and other Ascian. The Ascian oppose her deity and have caused a lot of issues, thus she will not simply trust without reason.)
As an aside, Minfilia is a cautious woman. She dares not speak of secrets over the phone, nor does she simply allow people into the Scions - instead distributing a code word, in case bad actors would wish to infiltrate. She would rather you travel to see her to discuss matters. (However, this is simply because she must be. The fate of the star should not be compromised.) She likes keeping track of her allies, and their deeds, as well.
Her connection to her deity, Hydaelyn, is close. Minfilia is said to be one of the people who Hydaelyn connects to the closest. Later, Hydaelyn claims Minfilias' body and aether to make her into an avatar, to give the Warrior of Light information - and, eventually, to save another world. Minfilia is more then willing to give up her life and her connections - especially since she is certain the Scions of the Seventh Dawn can survive without her. While she planted the seeds of a better future, she had to trust in her allies that they would bring it.
For Minfilia Warde is too aware of her position. And Minfilia Warde is willing to play her part in such.
Pokémon Information Affiliation: Trainer Starter: Audino Password: Atomic Fireball
Victory Road Sample: It was not that Minfilia was uncomfortable, honestly, that she was now the caretaker of this Lalafell-sized monster. A Pokemon - Audino, to be exact. Honestly, if she wasn't paying too much attention, she could mistake them for a Lalafell. Perhaps it was because she could feel the Echo within her head, and she could understand the feelings of this Audino, and this Audino was okay with their arrangement as well.
But that was not why Minfilia seemed frustrated. No, instead, she was looking between her Pokemon and the bike she'd found for sale. She'd seen these before, of course - even though it seemed her star was very different then this one, of course they had things like this. (Both with and without motor. Idly, Minfilia wondered if she could get one with a motor - but then again, she would rather tame and ask the help of another Pokemon.) And yet, there was a very clear issue.
Either she could get one with a basket, or she could get one with two seats. But both of them would not fit her Pokemon companion. If she got the basket, her Audino wouldn't fit. But if she got a two-person bike, said Audino would not be able to reach the pedals. Perhaps if there were engineers she was in contact with... but part of her life here was not having the network she had established in Eorzea. It was fine. She would build a new one, in time - even if she had to take more action to gain a reputation, to make more allies.
She could always place Rosa - her name was Rosa, for she had been thinking of the Scions at the time she named her - in her Pokeball. But she wanted to let Rosa experience this world alongside her. After all, Rosa could not tell her of any time before she arrived. They were both young, in a brighter world.
Minfilia turned, to your character. "I have a dilemma. Might you be able to help me?"
