History
Wixie, like most Duskwights, grew up in a poverty that was, from their point of view, forced upon them by their neighbors in Gridania. After her both her parents were killed in an Imperial incursion, she and her two older brothers fell in with the bandits of the Redbelly Hive in the South Shroud.
On a trip accompanying her brothers to Buscarron's, Wixie happened to witness a traveling minstrel's performance, inspiring a lifelong passion for music within her.
At the age of nineteen, still not quite fully grown by Elezen standards, both of Wixie's older brothers were "murdered" by Wood Wailers. Alone, and not willing to stay on with the bandits without her older brothers to protect her, she set off on her own, heading south towards Ul'dah.
With naive dreams to become a famous musician, Wixie was wholly unprepared for the cut-throat city, and she nearly ended up in slavery, were it not for the intervention of a group of Ala Mhigan refugees who took pity on the young Duskwight.
Finding common ground in a hatred of the Empire, a distrust of Ul'dah, and a distaste for Gridanians, Wixie made fast friends with elements of the Ala Mhigan Resistance.
Controversially, but with no one to answer to, Wixie grew very close to a Vira Ananta of the resistance, and eventually exchanged vows with the "beast" woman.
The marriage was tumultuous, but ultimately short-lived when the Ananta was slain in a skirmish with the Empire.
Distraught, Wixeline moved west, traveling eventually to Limsa Lominsa by way of Vesper Bay. With a penchant for music, a hardened resolve, a hatred of the Empire, and an open-mindedness towards beast folk, Wixie did well, quickly falling in with the Kraken's Arms.
Slowly, she moved up through the ranks within Carvallain's fleet, though she never attained captainship. Wixie had respect for Carvallain, even when he ceased raids on the Empire in favor of Far Eastern trade, but she did not serve aboard his flagship - the Misery, rather, she served aboard The Easter Lady, and chafed under its leadership, eventually driving her and a handful of others to leave on port in Kugane.
Wixie has ambitions to establish her own crew, and captain a ship to establish its own profitable trade ventures.
OOC
I'll put more here eventually, but for now I'm just gonna ramble... I'm an adult, I'm an RP veteran by this point, I try to be friendly and compassionate.
I come from a family of highly-social extroverts, but I myself am an autistic introvert. However, I am still very social... just... any conversation that isn't one on one tends to exhaust me very quickly, and this goes for RP as well.
Funny how I ended up an FC leader, huh? Well, truthfully, it wasn't my idea, but I try to do my best and we have fun. :)
That said, I do enjoy DMing for people a lot, but it is also an exhausting affair.
I'm OK with NSFW, just respect me and recognize that my IRL gender and sexuality aren't your business. You can ask once we've talked a bit, but if it's a dealbreaker to know those things, then it's likely you want to know for the wrong reasons and probably don't belong in the roleplaying space.
