Skin as pale as a ghost and hair as dark as her soul, Rae has often been told her beauty is unparalleled among her peers. Rae stands out in a crowd, and not just because she's usually towering above the masses, but for the beauty standard she's quite a looker. She understands this very well and she doesn't shy away from using her looks to her advantage. Rae boldly is herself and that's all she'll ever be. She doesn't care about the stares or the whispers, she's suffered plenty of discrimination but that doesn't stop her hustle.

Rae loves herself and is confident in where she stands, and it shows. Rae's hair is raven black and falls past her shoulder blades and rests at the middle of her back if her hair is completely down. Rae rocks a stylish fringe that stops right above her eyebrows. She normally keeps the back of her hair parted in two pigtails. However her hair is not braided. The ends of her hair are pulled into buns that hang loosely at her shoulder blades.

Rae typically adorns plenty of makeup. Her go to style is a heavy black smokey eye with tints of red on her under eye area. She has a beauty mark under her left eye that she usually defines with makeup as well. The smokey eye look does wonders for her steel blue eyes. She accentuates those with sharp and heavy eyeliner, which she always wings out. Her natural lashes are long and she usually curls them upwards.

On her cheeks she wears heavy blush which shows up like a beacon on her pale skin. She also has two crimson tribal tattoos on her cheeks from her days in the forest. These are honestly the only things that she has that still links her back to that life she left behind. Her lips are full and she usually rocks red lipstick with shiny gloss that tops that. However out of everything probably one of the most distinguishable features are her lack of typical viera ears. She still has them, don't worry.

However, due to some altercations that happened earlier in her life, her ears have been left damaged. They are.... a great sense of insecurity for Rae. The damage done has even left parts of her hearing impaired. She wears fox ear coverings over her damaged ears due to a folktale she learned that inspired her. Of course, doing so does muffle a bit of hearing but it should still be known she is viera and so her hearing is naturally better than most other comparable races.

Some might question why impair her hearing more than it already is and that is because Rae would rather be comfortable, especially in her line of work, than not. She can still hear fine enough regardless. Rae doesn't like to talk about the incident that impaired her hearing, but just know that wearing the coverings she dons is a great sense of security and mental stability for her.

Finally, her wardrobe. Black. That's pretty much. Despite what's in fashion it has to be black. She likes wearing less, showing off her features that she's been blessed with. She has been well endowed in the chest area and she has the hips of a goddess. Anything that allows her to show that off, usually skintight clothing, then she'll enjoy wearing it. Rae is also a sucker for accessories. She usually likes silver since she believes it fits the best with black but she's not apposed to gold and color statements in her apparel.

Aloof. Rae often times seems unapproachable by others. Intimidating and mysterious. People just don't understand how to read her. What is she thinking? Does she hate me? Is she angry? Are just a few things that people often think about when engaging with her. In general Rae just simply doesn't care. She can't be bothered to. It's way too much energy and effort and she doesn't want to waste the little energy she has.

Rael is the type of person guys often shout, "You should smile more" to. Rae's resting bitch face is severe and she has an attitude to match. Combined with her unapproachable energy people often believe she's just a bitch and hates everyone when that isn't the case. At times Rae can be sweet and even charming. Usually when she wants something from someone but that doesn't mean she's never genuine.

In fact, Rae is pretty flirty given the person she's interacting with captures her interest. She can even be quite the comedian. A side that many don't usually get to see for being too scared to approach her. However, Rae is also known to speak her mind. She's witty and honest. She doesn't see the point to sugar coat things and she doesn't beat around the bush. Rae doesn't share her opinion much because she knows it's controversial most of the times. That being said, she's very expressive in her facial expressions which often leads to individuals asking for her opinion.

"If they don't want to know the truth they shouldn't have asked," is something commonly heard from Rae's lips. It's true, often times her opinions leaves the recipient irritated or frustrated. She's been involved in plenty of altercations so she knows by now. However, Rae isn't afraid of stepping on toes or offending someone. She can stand her own in an argument and her opponents wouldn't want to go toe to toe with her in a fight, she doesn't hold back.

Still, Rae is a good person deep down. To those that earn it she's a trustworthy friend. As long as there are no signs of betrayal Rae has your back. Betray her trust however and you have a bad enemy coming against you. Rae remembers and holds grudges. She has every intention of paying back the bad deeds done to her in full. So as long as you're good to her she'll be good to you. She'll even fight for you.

Relationships

※ Rumih Nethelo: Rae's boss, essentially. In their alliance Rae reports to Rumih and Rumih's orders come from the supreme leaders of the alliance. Normally people would assume that she would be jealous taking orders from someone younger than her or possibly "less experienced", but Rae could honestly care less. Both Rumih and Rae were effectually "raised" in the same environment, so Rae knows that Rumih is more than qualified and capable for the job. Not to mention she knows herself well enough to understand that she is way to lazy to be in any form of leadership. Like. Ever. Rae see's Rumih as a sibling pretty much, they grew up together, but she also keeps things professional between them when she needs to.

※ Everlid Fowler: A foster parent of sorts. Everlid has a habit of picking up misfit kids and giving them a purpose. Rae wasn't really a kid when she was whisked into Ever's abode but she was still young and had a lot of learning to do. Ever has a really good habit of spotting someone's potential and pulling the best out of them. She quickly recognized where Rae's strengths lied and pushed her to go further beyond her limits. With Ever's help and connections she got Rae the best training that was available to her and sooner rather than later Rae was able to make a "name" for herself in this field.

History

This story features original content lore made by me, with features and inspirations from in-game lore provided by Final Fantasy X|V 's development team. Consider it lore bending but not lore breaking. There are plenty of "gray" areas in X|V's lore and I'm just adding my flare on it. This is a disclaimer, just in case you don't like this sort of thing you can move on to roleplay with someone else!

Coming Soon

Current Story

07/19/2020: Rumih has enlisted Rael's services due to a recent issue with Rumih's daytime employers. The issue is on a big enough scale to affect the wellbeing of the Alliance so it's practically Rae's duty to help out. Much to her dismay, it seems like this new mission is a lot more work than what she signed up for. Then again, she couldn't exactly refuse. So, begrudgingly, she has allied herself with the Black Clover. She'll assist them where they need it and will provide Intel on their enemy while she's at it, since intelligence and subterfuge are her strong suits.

Hi there! The name's Artemis and I'm the player behind the Goth Babe! I'm a Final Fantasy X|V roleplayer from Balmung, Crystal. I love long walks on the beach and I pray for world peace. Just kidding. I spend most of my time on the game hanging with friends or trying not to die in savage raids.

Oh and this is sort of a disclaimer but the character I roleplay is not me and I'm not her. I don't cross IC(In character) with OOC(out of character). The beliefs and behaviours my character exudes do not mean that I agree with them or support them. My characters have a mind of their own and are in no way influenced by me. (At least I do my best to keep it that way.)

As for socials, you can follow me on my Twitter, or IG to catch my gpose screenshots or head on over to my twitch where I stream Final Fantasy X|V occasionally!
