Yavra Allegra Vhen
There is love in holding and there is love in letting go
Backstory
Clan LifeBorn within her clan to the north of Gridania, Yavra was the well-beloved daughter of Lunar Ymir and Morren Ymir. She was a prime candidate to become the head healer of the clan and was always met with a smile and wave. After a healing job gone wrong, however, Yavra found herself isolated from the others with much of her magic stolen by the clan leader.This isolation forced Yavra to find new ways to occupy herself, with much of the clan no longer trusting her healing capabilities. She spent much of her time by the edge of clan territory where she subsequently met and befriended a Miqote' by the name of Revan Tirel. Their friendship developed into a relationship before being caught by a fellow clan member which resulted in Yavra's exile from her clan.
A Calamity ApproachesAfter her exile Yavra travelled with her partner Revan and her mercenary company before being employed under the Ul'dah military in the fight against the calamity and the Garleans. This battle was against them from the start, with the entire company, apart from Revan and Yavra, dying at the hands of the Garleans or the Calamity that consumed them.Once Yavra came to, she found herself in an Ul'dah hospital in the main city, with no memory of her past lover and deep grief over her company. She was promptly kicked out once well enough and forced to sleep on the streets of Ul'dah starving.
Settling Down Ishgard StyleAfter begging on the streets of Ul'dah, a Hrothghar by the name of Derome took pity upon her. He learned of her experience healing and offered her the role of apprentice under his care within his infirmary in the Brume of Ishgard. There she worked for up to a year before another life would be stolen from her. Derome would be murdered on a routine healing job out north by Falcon's nest. With Derome's life tragically taken, Yavra was left with the infirmary in her name.Yavra continued working in the infirmary, where she met Kadan Rudeaux, a knight commander for House Fortempt. Kadan offered to guard the infirmary after Yavra confided in men threatening her for gil and soon, through many nights of speaking and helping each other through shifts, the pair fell in love.Kadan and Yavra married, taking the names Yavra and Kadan Rudeaux.
A Love Lost is a Life RuinedTragedy would strike Yavra's life once more. After receiving a letter offering Yavra some illegal medicine that she needed for her clinic, Yavra left her husband alone at home and travelled out in the dead of night to retrieve her goods. She wasn't greeted with her goods, however, and instead was attacked and left in the middle of the square. Once awakened Yavra rushed home as soon as she could, only to find her husband dead on the floor with all their furniture broken and bloodied. He had been assassinated, by who and why nobody knew.Yavra mourned in her own way....by vowing revenge on anyone who had a part to play in her love's death.
HOOKS
A Healer For All - CommonNeed Healed up? Yavra is more than happy to help with any and all injuries. Perhaps you know of her infirmary in Ishgard or merely feel her healing aether, don't feel shy asking for help! Best part? She won't even judge the hows or the whys.
A Reading My Dear? - CommonTarot was a fascination for Yavra since her late mentor Derome taught her the intricacies of it all. While her studies have resulted in integrating her cards she still also does readings on the side for some extra gil from time to time.
Widow of A Knight - UncommonWith being the widow of a Knight Commander for House Fortemp, Yavra has wiggled her way to plenty a noble party, meeting and more. Been to a party or two, or have seen her husband and her when they used to walk through Ishgard? Well then you may recognise Yavra.
Deathwalker - RareYavra's studies into the undead and her unusual ability to manipulate aether has earned her the name Deathwalker. With the ability to inhabit the souls of the dead within her own body (her husband being the current inhabitant) others may hear through whispers of a woman with such a power. Perhaps she may be encouraged to speak more of it.
Target List - Very RareYavra has a lust for revenge, for anyone who had a role in her husband's assasination. She even has a list of her targets, with her thoughts constantly shrouded in how she'd get her revenge. Would you want to help her?(This Hook is complicated, it would require your character to not only know Yavra but know of her abilities and the majority of her past. It would also require planning within in game RP whereas the killing of the targets may be written works only.)
