Personality SynopsisIrime is a witty woman who conducts herself in a highly calculated and formal manner, oftentimes described as prickly or cold by others. If there is something or someone she desires, she can easily switch gears in an attempt to attain such wants. She will not, however, ask for anything directly, instead dropping hints until they either bear fruit or she gives up and moves on (much to the frustration of those around her).Her tolerance for bad treatment is abysmally low, able to go from polite to blowing a fuse at the slightest indication that she is lesser. The Au ra is especially sensitive to comments that belittle her skill or intelligence. She’s not one to apologize even if she is at fault, instead commenting that it's best to watch one’s speech when talking to others and moving on with her day.While tending to wounds, Irime is quick to scold others for what she deems as illogical actions taken. If it were not for her healing expertise it is unlikely the Au ra would ever be accepted for jobs.It’s rare for her to show affection for another as she’s unfamiliar with it but when she does care, she cares deeply. Thus, her displays of affection tend to be very unique to her. She doesn’t feel herself worthy of love or affection and doubts anyone who expresses such to her. Irime longs for unconditional love but bottles such feelings to protect herself.Her true, informal, selfish, and bratty self is saved for those she trusts, those she knows will not leave her.
View of self (WoL)Irime yearns for acknowledgement, needing a purpose and recognition to justify simply being alive. As such, she fully embraced the role of the Scions ‘tool’ as it came with the praise she so sought. She is aware of her sharpness but never attempts to mellow out, hoping to drive people away as she fears growing close to others.She does not believe herself to be a good person, only someone forced into the role of hero. Regardless of her complaints, she always goes above and beyond in her tasks even at the expense of her own health and safety. Regardless of the state she ends up in Irime will endure silently as she struggles to trust and rely on people.View of self (Non-WoL)In her day to day, Irime merely tries to get by. Whether her actions will be deemed good or bad matters not to her so long as there's enough coin in hand to guarantee a full stomach and roof over her head at the end of the day.
Non-WoL lifeA wandering healer with little coin to her name who takes on any jobs (mostly mercenary expeditions) she can get her hands on for any bit of money, oftentimes ending up in unsavory battle situations if the pay is well enough. Works as a barkeep between jobs for extra gil and dabbles in botany and alchemy on occasion. Rather than formal alchemy she creates her own concoctions, using those around her as guinea pigs for them (though thankfully her knowledge of herbs means they make pretty good healing treatments for the most part). Dreams of opening a small tea shop one day, stocked with items she had grown herself.Non-WoL path diverges from the main storyline just prior to SB.Regardless of WoL or non-WoL Irime eventually loses sight in her left eye.

It's the dead of night and for some odd reason you're not yet cozied up in your home. Reaching your residence, you spot a cloaked figure curled up beside the door. Upon closer inspection (from a safe distance), you recognize her. You had met once before, whether on a job or during a one night stand. A hand grasping at your clothes brings you back from your thoughts, the unpleasant stench of iron now catching in your nose.
You find yourself in need of a healer's services for a particularly dangerous (or menial) task. Each potential party member you ask turns you down for one reason or another.. As a last resort, you seek out the woman who's been glaring at you, having bore witness to your inquiry process.
Feeling parched you venture to the local pub, situating yourself in a comfortable spot. Its a busy night. You watch as the servers skitter about, frantically running food and drink to the tables with smiles on their faces. After awhile of not being served you notice a Raen in the corner, scowling as she sweeps up what appears to be a broken wine bottle. She works here, surely.. She should be able to get you that drink. Even if she does seem scary.. You just have to say a few words and give her gil. You can do this.
Crowded market places can only end with someone being knocked flat on their ass, and now an angry Raen is scowling up at you, pastries surrounding her on the ground.
For whatever reason, you joined an expedition. The crowd of gathered adventurers is diverse in all things, though a particular Raen assigned to your group catches your eye. You later spot that same woman on the airship though her confident demenor is now replaced with that of discomfort.. Motion sickness? A fear of heights? You find yourself growing curious.
