Marzipan

Ul'dahn born and raised, now a Sharlayan Scholar specializing in the War of the Magi and the calamity that followed. She spends her time diving into Fifth Astral Era ruins and burying her nose in tomes and scrolls. During one of her excursions into the city of Amdapor, Marzi stumbled upon an urn sealed with ancient magics. Not realizing what she was holding, she broke the seal and released an ancient voidsent, losing the ensuing battle and finding herself possessed. Her guide was able to carry her out, unconscious and barely breathing. After the accident, Marzi threw herself into her studies and her travels, trying to find a way to free herself of the voidsent while struggling to keep the monster at bay. She's entirely lost her vision over the years (presumaby from her struggles against the voidsent) and relies on a mammet in the form of a Moogle to be her eyes.~~~~~~~Name: Unknown

About

Once, Marzi was a veritable ball of sunshine. She's always been secretive about her life before coming to Old Sharlayan, but her cheerful disposition and willingness to help others always made people quickly forget about who she may have been. Since returning from her failed expedition, however, she's become an entirely different person. She's now cagey, skittish, and incredibly suspicious of others. Her fear of the voidsent coming out and hurting those she cares about causes her to isolate, shutting herself away when she isn't out in the field. It takes her an incredibly long time to open up to others now for fear of getting too close.When interacting with others, Marzi is typically very reserved, and is friendly once someone gets past her walls. But in moments of high tensions and stress, her control on the voidsent inside of her can slip and it takes over. The voidsent is brash, quick to anger, and violent.

RP Hooks & Socials

~ Ul'dahn Native ~
Marzi was born and raised in the merchant city of Ul'dah. Her father is an incredibly well-established merchant, and wanted nothing more than for his daughter to follow in his footsteps. When he found out she had other aspirations, however, he was outraged. He went so far as to lock her away and forbid her from leaving the city. Ever since she ran away to live her own life, her father has sent all manner of brigands and ne'er-do-wells to bring her back. Perhaps you are one of those people hired to bring Marzi back to her father, or maybe you just see a maiden in trouble.
~ Troubled Scholar ~
Everyone has heard the rumors of the scholar that left for an expedition and came back... Changed. She hides herself away and rarely interacts with the other members of the Scholasticate. Many have tried to check in with her, and all have been shooed away. It might be different for you.
~ Expedition ~
Both before and after her accident, Marzi spends a lot of her time on expeditions into ruins from the Fifth Astral Era. She often hires guards and other scholars to accompany her into these ruins, either for protection or for a second pair of eyes to study what might be found within.
~ Lonely Stranger ~
Rarely, Marzi travels to cities far from Old Sharlayan just so she can unwind in places no one will recognize her. She's even been spotted as far as Tuliyollal. She usually doesn't say no to drinking with a stranger.
