The Starlit Path

Who knows what the future holds? All that we can know for certain is what right now holds, and what we do with that will pave the new path. Kaede's right now is here...

Hi there! A little note from me to you: There's a lot here, and still further more to be discovered about Kaede. She is my main, and I love her dearly. Please use the below menu to get around! Thanks for stopping by, it means the world!

Her Backstory, Family, and Childhood...

Born to a family of horse tamers and trainers, a path that has been passed down for generations, Kaede is the eldest child of seven, with four sisters and two brothers following her. Both of her parents are still alive and well and run the family business in conjunction with others of their tribe. Her childhood was not difficult, but did come with its own challenges and pains, with her parents being extremely judgmental and controlling of each child's life. Their wealth and position are of utmost importance and anything that threatens continuing their generational history warrants swift removal from their lives. Kaede's life was planned for her, as was the life of each sibling, from the time she was two - an arranged marriage to another tribal family for an alliance coming with political and financial gains, her duties and job already decided for her as well once she was of age and after she married. Financial advisors were commonly involved in their household for various meetings, and Kaede found herself growing more distasteful and resentful of her life with each year that passed. The small Xaela tried to find joy in things, like exploring their homeland with her siblings, venturing slightly outside of it at times if they were certain they could without punishment, and talking to travellers who arrived from other places. Her passion for the stars grew each night she spent beneath them, and in time she learned from scholars of the other worlds each star represented, which only served to make her love them even more.Upon reaching the age of maturity, instead of obeying the life planned for her, Kaede decided to take whatever funds had been set aside for her inheritance, and left her home and family behind. While not dead to her family, she no longer has any ties to their wealth or business and is more of an extended family member or family friend than their daughter, until conversations come up that she is reminded otherwise. Three of her siblings followed her suit, taking what they could of their own inheritance and setting off as well. Originally, the four ventured together from place to place, learning and immersing themselves in varyign cultures and lifestyles until they discovered what moved them, what sparked life. Kaede would stay behind in Gridania after some time while her siblings dispersed to Ul'dah and Limsa, pursuing various jobs and trades of their own that spoke to them more than horsework ever did.Kaede started off working with archers in Gridania, but over time she found the work to be repetitive and unchallenging for her, excelling in it with rather quick ease. Back to adventuring, the woman found herself in taverns and bars, trading drinks for knowledge and wit, betting coin on games of Triad and chess, and found herself in the company of a group of Veena Viera who took her to Thavnair and showed her the world of dance, shaping her into a quick-footed and flexible mover. Coupled with her archery skills, she poured her heart into dance and found herself travelling to perform or work as needed and wanted, occasionally dabbling in animal handling and bonding as needs arose too.Most recently, she has taken to exploring, studying, and trying to learn as much as she can about the world around her as well as arts, magicks, and melee fighting to develop herself into a more impactful individual. Her days are spent writing, reading, people watching, or dancing on beaches or in forests, so keep an eye out for the starry-scaled Xaela!

** A very important note regarding her scales... While they are galactic in nature, sparkly and very noticeable, she can have them hidden in public with magics. As of late, she's had them out and exposed alongside her intricate tattoos. If you wish to use this for RP, just send a tell to confirm :)**

RP Hooks

  • Performer: Are you looking for a new dancer for a show? Perhaps you just want someone to dance for you in general? Kaede might be willing to do so, permitted you inspire her.

  • Horses: Do you want to learn how to handle the great stallions? How to bond and connect with a steed or perhaps another mount? Kaede might be able to help, that connection is special and important to her.

  • Hunting: Are you heading out for a hunt? Need an archer with excellent aim to assist you? Or do you want someone to help give you the lay of the lind and find the right creatures? Kaede knows certain areas very well, perhaps ask her.

  • Lost: Are you new here? Lost in the area? Wishing to make a new friend or find somewhere? Kaede loves new people and will be willing to assist in many ways.

OOC Info

Quick Info:
(Discord tends to be the best for me, though I will do RP and such in game! Message me at KivaDear#1771 for a quicker reply!)To be very clear, I am happily taken OOC by someone, and as such I will NOT tolerate any OOC lines being crossed. I'm always happy for new friends, but nothing more. My character is flirty, hedonistic, sexual, and outgoing in nature, this does not mean I am looking for anything.Hey there! Thanks for stopping and taking a look at my precious bean. I hope all the basic info you wanted was here and easy to access! Some types of roleplay I'm looking for are as follows:

  • Slice of Life

  • Adventure

  • Rivals/Friends

  • Teachers/Advisors

  • Family (extended or if you'd like to take over and develop her siblings?)

  • Romance/Multi-ships/AUs - If I find multiple partners for her, I am fine playing those out in other universes versus her partaking in infidelity. This may be common sense to some, just want it clear here too!

  • ERP - I will partake in this if it happens, especially if it's organic, because well, it's fun. But I don't want only that kind of RP for myself or my character's development... Please be looking for more than just a one-night stand.

  • Character Building and World Development

As always, please also remember that things out of character (OOC) are not reflective of things in character (IC) and vice versa! This is meant to be fun and engaging, not full of drama and such. So please, be mature (18+), communicate if there's any confusion or misunderstandings, and please reply somewhat consistently. I know we all get busy, just don't ghost or disappear, especially if it's from something that happened in the RP. Respect each other and each other's time!
