About
Alys is a bubbly, outgoing young woman whose particular fashion taste and soft voice only serve to further compliment her sweet, "innocent" personality. She is a lover of all things cute and has a never ending supply of naivete and whimsy, becoming excited at the smallest of details she learns about her surroundings. Having grown up partially in the streets of Terncliff and partially in an Imperial orphanage, she lacked the opportunity to develop any meaningful friendships; and thus, she strives to try and make as many new friends as possible...even if her methods of doing so involve teasing and annoying people to no end through her unfaltering persistence. She has a tendency to be intimidated by large crowds and has a distaste for the loud noises that come with them, but to her, it is a necessary sacrifice to make if she wants to surround herself with lots of new friends - especially those she can share a slice of white chocolate-topped pixieberry cheesecake with.
However, behind her cheery charms and initial friendliness lies a not-so-cute past. While her general appearance is bright and colourful, her dark pale eyes have witnessed many years of war as a result of her voluntary service in the Imperial army after having been adopted by a Garlean soldier, and continue to witness the horrors she creates herself as a result of her pact with an aether-starved voidsent and her career as a reaper. While her adorable mannerisms aren't exactly a farce, they are most definitely accompanied by a little dash of sadism. To her, unrelenting pestering and the occasional threat here and there are simply her ways of "playing" with her new friends, and she has very little reservations about turning to violence to get her way if needed. Perhaps her time being surrounded by proper company may eventually correct these behaviours, but for now, Alys serves as a prime example that some people are not what they seem to be. Especially the cute ones.
Background
I'm still working on getting her background written up - unfortunately, I had to trudge through a LOT of Garlean and reaper lore to ensure what I wanted to do was viable and I ended up establishing ENTIRELY too many details. Oops.
TLDR; Grew up in streets of Terncliff after losing parents to epidemic in Werlyt 14 years ago, was placed in an Imperial orphanage, was adopted by a Garlean soldier, voluntarily joined Imperial army to follow in his footsteps, ended up being mortally wounded one day, smell of blood attracted her voidsent, she made a pact to survive, ended up leaving the army shortly before everything started going to shit in Endwalker since reapers are a no-no there now and the legion she was part of was about to be smacked by the big bad bat of tempering.
Now she roams around being a little pink menace by annoying the crap out of people because she has very little social skills.
(Yes her ability to become a reaper in the first place has an explanation I promise)
Once I actually get this thing written out I'll update this section and publish her carrd. Stay tuned.
Her carrd ain't finished yet but my contact info is in the carrds of my other two characters, go find them on my profile :(
