She's little mischievous, a little playful, a little saucy. What's not to love about that?Frija is a woman who enjoys life and all it has to offer. She likes to look good for herself and for others, so she's always fiddling with her appearance, primping and preening constantly.Food and drink, dancing and singing, conversing and flirting, anything that makes her feel good she wholeheartedly imbibes in. She might be a bit of a hedonist... but there's so much bad in the world, what's wrong with indulging in the good?It's precisely this attitude that has lent her cause to sell her services as a mercenary. The war between the Eorzean Alliance and Garlemald incited her to temporarily forego her hedonism so that she may fight for what she loves and believes in: life, her friends, her family.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .During the war, she held as true as she could to herself. She sang songs with her fellow soldiers, drank during the rare time of merriment and shared equal measures joy and pain with those in her station.The Ghimlyt Frontline. The Ilsabard Contigent. Garlemald.The Final Days took their toll on Frija. And when the war finished, she spent much of her time convalescing in Sharlayan. Reunions with her children helped the healing process. Focusing on her crafts, on reading in the library, even the cold climes all helped.And so, one day, the spark of the Wonderlust Queen suddenly... returned. Words of ships leaving for the West, for a new world with new places to explore, new people to meet and new adventure to be had...Of course she booked passage on the next available ship. What woman could resist?

Hoist the Black: "For adventure and glory, and an unforgettable story..."
Frija may give off the impression of being a prima donna who only cares about her looks and having fun at first, but she's not afraid to get physical. Either a bit of harmless sparring with a friend or something more serious, she knows how to take care of herself. In fact, she seems to have a surprisingly robust knowledge of combat - both honorable and dishonorable.
Well... a girl has to protect herself, after all.Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story: "You have no control..."
Frija's a woman who likes to travel, and part of being a well-traveled person means that she enjoys sharing her own stories and listening to other people's stories. She has stories from all over Eorzea, and even beyond. Ironically, however, she isn't too keen on talking about her birthland. Perhaps she just likes keeping an air of mystery around herself? Who knows.Wonderlust Queen: "Da ja shut, ja tziratch, nu tak stozge?"
Frija has an awesome and agonizing lust for travel and exploration. When she has downtime, Frija often goes on either little sojourns in nearby areas in the hopes of discovering a little nook in the foliage she's unaware of, or off on a grand adventure to lands unknown. It's not unheard of for her to simply abscond into the wilderness by herself to sate her own desire for travel and exploration.Far Frome the Fame: "Far, far away from the fame, but we still remember your name."
Frija has been to many places, done many things, had grand adventures all her life. Yet you're more than likely to never read about her in a history book. Was this done intentionally or unintentionally? Is she forever doomed to not receive the recognition of other heroes and adventurers? Or does she not care about that and prefer her obscurity? She may never get into a history book, but maybe one day historians will read about her in someone's journal.Memories of You: "You held me tight and never let go."
Frija's always laughing, having a good time and ready to joke with her friends and coworkers. If she's such a happy spirit, then why does she look so wistful when she's alone?The Fear of Everything: "Uslyshish' grom i vspomnish' obo mne."
The scars of war may diminish, but they never truly fade away. Frija will never forget her time on the frontlines, nor the ferocity the Garlean war and the Final Days brought with it.

✦ Frija is meant for long-term, character/story-based RP with room for plot and character progression (however, one-off character interactions are enjoyed in their own right - not every conversation at a bar has to blossom into some sort of grand relationship!) As a result, I haven't listed everything - her backstory, her motivations, her hopes and dreams, etc. - down here for the sake of RP buddies discovering them for themselves! Of course, some things may be easily disseminated from what I've written - the thought process behind this is that this is what friends and acquaintances of Frija have figured out about her. It may be true, or maybe only some of it is true. Who knows for sure?...✦ I can't stress enough how much I hate it when someone calls Frija chocolate, mocha, caramel, etc. Please don't do this. It's a quick and easy way to make me not like you.✦ I like RP to unfold naturally - I don't mind planning or talking about things, but ultimately I want things to feel fresh and natural. With that being said, however, I do favor darker, introspective topics and themes. Not to say that I don't enjoy cute or slice-of-life themes either - just know that for long-term RP, things may occasionally have an introspective flavor.✦ I try to write Frija as an evolving character, and thus FF14's own unfolding story may change Frija, too. As a result, the woman you encountered months or years ago may be completely different from the woman she is now. Life is funny like that, right?✦ I type slowly and can sometimes be very verbose with my writing. Sorry if it takes me an age to respond.✦ I often have to run AFK and I usually feel bad about not responding to PMs. I will definitely let you know if I have to go AFK if we're RPing, however, OOCly if you PM me and I don't respond please don't take it personally - I might simply be AFK. Or I might've fallen asleep at my desk. I'm a very sleepy person.✦ Frija's obviously a very sensual person - she enjoys things that stimulate her senses, and that includes sex. I'm not opposed to ERP, however that doesn't mean I engage in ERP at the drop of a hat. I like it to punctuate character situations; growth such as relationships, or situations where it would make sense. Walking up to her and grabbing her butt with the hopes of ERP will most likely result in a firm slap in the face. With that said...

Frija on F-list.
