Not much is known of this woman, but as for everyone who thrives in the public limelight, rumors tend to spread like wildfire. Some sing praises of her immeasurable generosity–citing abnormally large donations made to charitable organizations under a company alias. Others whisper fearfully, swearing up and down that she revels in making her enemies disappear with a snap of her finger. Even the elderly wistfully recall that she has been dancing since their youth, though no proof has ever been provided.A pretty face to compliment her commanding presence, she frequents many upscale venues, lavish balls, and political socials in Ul’dah. One may know her as the famed songstress "The Desert Dahlia." Others swear to recognize her as someone who has done infiltration work. However one may meet her, one would hope it would not be at the pointed end of her blade.Her personality seems to adapt to the people she is around:Political Powers / Nobility: Her mannerisms and speech reveal that she was likely adopted into higher society, or at least had been around it long enough. She is well-mannered, poised, and cordial. Her smile rarely ever reaches her cold, calculative gaze. On the outside, she is just your typical aristocrat. But is there more than meets the eye?Stage Persona: At shows, there is no difference between the way she acts onstage and off. She seems positively blissful and in her own world, graceful in her every movement. If she happens to come across another of her craft, she treats them as if they are blood. She may come off a bit airheaded, but there is certainly something emanating from this woman: freedom.Friends and Colleagues: She treats her friends like business partners and business partners like friends. It is unclear whether she knows the difference between the two, as she keeps both at arms length. She doesn't seem to have a filter...which can be both a good and a bad thing, depending on the way one looks at it. Her remarks may seem out of touch, arrogant, or otherwise outlandish. Is this who she truly is, or is it just another one of her masks?
Hooks
☼ If your character is part of the Seeker of the Sun Hipparion Tribe, she has always been curious about her tribe of origin would absolutely love to learn more!☼ If your character frequents Ul'dah, Radz-at-han, Ala Mhigo, or any of the surrounding areas, and enjoy the performing arts, they would most definitely recognize her.☼ If your character came from Radz-at-han or has ever lived there, it is likely that they know her, or would at the very least recognize her--she spent a lot of her early years working there with her father.☼ Her surname would be recognized by any sailor, merchant, or privateer who has frequented the Near-Eastern seas and trading routes. Her father Shivaji was a well-respected sailor and merchant who built his own trading company from the ground up, which K'inja reluctantly inherited after his untimely demise.☼ If your character is Ishgardian, they may harbor a deep disdain for her-in a very publicized scandal, it was revealed that the famed Desert Dahlia may or may not be responsible for the cold-blooded murder of six knights proper, all in service to the highly regarded House Delevaux. They were found lacerated and unrecognizable. Her trial by combat, however, was won in her favor.☼ She is always looking to hire mercenaries or knights, disgraced or otherwise, as her presence in Ul'dah tends to make her a walking target for assassination plots.

OOC Information
☼ Walkups adored! I am 25+, and prefer people I RP with to be as well, or at least able to communicate well. A lot of the time, due to RL demands, I am in game but afk--feel free to send me a /tell if you find me unresponsive to a walkup. RP tag = IC.☼ I am an experienced role-player with over a decade under my belt. I am always looking for RP connections, especially those involving political powers, the occult, espionage, trade companies, or the criminal underground. It is important to note that she may use her alias (Dahlia) when introducing herself to your character for IC reasons.☼ Loved themes: I tend to lean more toward mature topics, or ones that get me emotionally invested. Dark, witchy, political, or anything with deep character development. Romance is okay too, as long as it happens organically. I do, however, prefer my RP to be at least somewhat story-driven, and follow the number one rule: IC is not OOC.
The Desert Dahlia
I am an experienced dancer IRL, and have 15+ years of experience in dance, choreography, and stage presence. Therefore, I enjoy transferring these skills to an in-game format--IC performance!What I do: I write macros that include a smooth and entertaining combination of emotes, spells of various jobs, items, and glam changes. I time the macros to real-time music, and use a safe music streamer. I do not claim to own the rights to any real music I use, I am just playing from YouTube. No real payment is necessary, IC gil works just fine. If you would like a demonstration of one of my dances, feel free to message me in game or discord: dissolvedxgirlHire The Desert Dahlia to perform, and whatever the occasion, you can be sure that it will be a night to remember~
