Clothes: Pale blue silkish tight revealing shirt, and a long flowy skirt. A
lot of silver jewelly, including silver bell anklets, silver earrings, and
silver armbands. Has a long, flowing, sheer pale blue skirt through which
you can see her dark blue underwear/shorts. They're obviously meant to be
seen, because they are fairly ornate, with embroidered designs. Wears a
fairly large, dark blue headband with spiderweb looking designes on it. She
has intense eye makeup, and blue starry designs drawn on her temples and
eyes with makeup.
Personality: Quite nice and social, but a little bit cold and aloof.
Ruthless with a good heart. Fun loving when she's drunk (which isn't very
often, she prefers to keep a clear head.) Falls fairly easily into love- one
could say that's a weakness of hers. She's a sucker for sweet talk and
gifts. Working at a tavern that she co-owns, she gets a lot of men hitting
on her, so as a result she's kind of picky when it comes to long-term deals.
Tends to be a bit promiscuous.
Quote: "We're fools whether we dance or not, so we might as well dance."
Origin:
Auri'joi was born and raised in Alexandria. Her parents were (and
are) fairly upperclass, and always encouraged their Joy to be the best she
could be. Auri'joi always had the best teachers, the best clothing, and the
best dance instructors. It was as a spoiled brat that she was raised, but it
never really went to her head. Her parents kept her grounded by teaching her
morals and ideals to hold people up to. They taught her right from wrong,
reasoning skills, and how to talk her way out of anything. She had a keen
eye for business, but always wanted to be a performer of sorts.
Because Auri'joi's family was upper class Alexandrian, they were often
invited to events at the castle. Dinners, concerts, competitions and plays.
When Auri'joi was sixteen, she was invited to see a presentation of "I Want
To Be Your Canary." This is what made her realize that she HAD to be on
stage one day, or she would have a wasted life. After finding her calling,
she quickly rushed home to see if she could even craft a story, let alone
act it out. She wrote several plays, poems, songs and stories before her
teachers told her that she was ready to start performing. On her seventeenth
birthday, she performed a dancing and singing show for her close family and
friends, which told a story of a girl growing old and venturing into the
world. Fittingly with the song, months later she formed a travelling dance
troupe which she took around the Mist continent. She left them for several
weeks, to perform a breif solo stint in Esto Gaza. She met up with them
again, to take their award winning show around for another year. When she
turned 19, she decided to split off from the group for good.
She left to pursue a career in business, and after learning all she could at
the Lindblum School of Business, she still craved to join the performing
world. Auri'joi tried a revival solo act, but because of her stable job at a
local bakery, it was hard for her to get time on the road. Nobody much cared
for solo acts anymore, because the trends were turning towards more razzle
dazzle. When she was in Esto Gaza a second time, visiting a friend, she went
out to a tavern and witnessed a subtle performance as background music, and
was impressed by the classy nature of the act. It reminded her of her old
glory days, so when she got back to Lindblum she sent a message to an old
coworker, Chase Dakota. Auri and Chase met up for tea, and formulated a plan
to open up their own tavern/dance hall. By the time she was 21, she had a
successful business establishment, close friends, a career she loved, skills
as an artist, dancer, poet, storyteller, white mage and summoner, and was
even skilled in hand-to-hand combat. Some people would think Auri'joi Nuveau
had it all, but she still felt lonely and unfulfilled. She needed a cause.
And that is where we find her now- a wondergirl with everything, wishing she
could give it all up for just one taste of true love.
