lore enthusiast -> tell me about your WoLs!! || she/her || 25 || light, crystal, dynamis || never ask a girl how many alts she has (it's 7) || main blog: @silverraes || tiktok: @rae.xiv
hello hello, my old intro post was getting kinda outdated soooo! here's the new and improved version! :)
over the years I've kinda adopted the name of my main WoL so people online mostly call me Rae, but I also go by Straw if you don't wanna call me by the same name as my OC lol
things you can expect on this blog are memes, gposes and the occasional short writing about my WoLs
my main is @silverraes so follows and likes come from there :)
I play mostly on the Light data center, but you can also find me on Crystal and occasionally Dynamis
OCs with lore? yes I have them. too many, in fact. so here's a quick rundown of my many alts:
Rae S. || she/her || 24 || a mess || Sharlayan/Garlean (it's complicated) || half-raen, half-xaela || reaper/dancer
Rae's who I see as my canon WoL and the chara I spend the most time on. After getting caught in an imperial ambush as a child, she grew up in the Imperial Army as a prisoner-turned-recruit and thus has a very complicated relationship to Garlemald, which she sees as her home country despite the cruel treatment she received in the army. (I'm a recovering fantasia addict so don't be surprised if she looks wildly different in older posts but I swear I'm sticking to face 1 lizzer now ashgdas)

Amiya Y. || she/her || 34 || just rolling with the flow || Rak'tikan || viis || dancer/bard/warrior
Amiya was born in Fanow, but left the village as soon as she was old enough. She's always been fond of nature and the local wildlife and so she spent most of her life roaming the forest and protecting her home against threats. That is, until a series of events lead to Amiya finding herself in this strange new place called Eorzea.
After spending her entire life in the Azim Steppe, Keira decided she was tired of the same old things day in and day out and set out to explore the world. Having grown up in a tribe obsessed with battle, she quickly found that her skills could be put to use in the Adventurers' Guild and so she wound up becomig a renown adventurer, going wherever her talents are needed.
Crowe is… a bit of an enigma. Survivor of death cult shenanigans and former human sacrifice. Came back half-immortal and with a weird sense for when and where death is visiting. Now he just goes wherever his premonitions take him and tries his best to help avert disasters. Naturally, his connection to the afterlife leaves public opinion on him very split so he never stays in one place for too long.

Inessa "Nessa" B. || she/her || 22 || doing her best || Kholusian || drahn || red mage/astrologian
When Inessa was still a child, orphaned in a sineater attack early on in her life, it became clear that she displayed a strange resistance to the light's effects. Wanting to put her unique talents to use, Nessa set out to fight off sineaters whenever and wherever she could as soon as she was old enough. Even so, her body absorbed a large amount of light during an especially brutal confrontation with a lightwarden and while Nessa fully recovered, her appearance remained changed, her eyes, skin and hair having become significantly paler.

Lydia T. || she/her || 24 || summer enthusiast || La Noscean || half-midlander, half-elezen || summoner/white mage
As the oldest daughter of a farmers family, Lydia's spent a large portion of her life outside, helping out on the farm. She loves the outdoors, especially when it's warm and sunny. Her other big passion? Magic. When she isn't outside, she can be found in her bedroom, bent over an old tome or trying out new spells. So it didn't come as a surprise that when her younger siblings became old enough to take over her jobs on the farm, Lydia packed her things and set out with her trusty carbuncle to take up adventuring and discover new forms of magic.

Solana "Lana" Chiara bihn V. || she/her || 23 || a menace || Thavnairian || raen || warrior/dancer
Lana is the daughter of a famous dancer and a merchant. She grew up in Radz-at-Han, but because of her dad's job, her family moved to Ul'dah when she was 18, where she joined the adventurer's guild and stumbled into becoming the WoL. (I'd like to think that she was Rae's dance teacher in my "canon" timeline and still sticks around for the gang's adventures while she isn't a WoL herself.)

Mace A. || he/him || 27 || local brain cell owner || Gridanian || veena || bard
Mace... aka the original obligatory bunboy alt lmao. He's Rae's best childhood friend and sticks around for a lot of her adventures. He's been practicing archery since a young age, but only decided to pick up the adventurer lifestyle after reuniting with Rae, who had just escaped from Garlemald.

I'm not really into the RP scene (but I guess I'd be open to it, if you're really interested in my idiots), but I am a huge enthusiast of lore, so hmu if you feel like yapping about our WoLs :)
I think the end of Endwalker is so interesting when you consider the story of Zenos being the one that helps WOL stop Endsinger and the Final Days.
If you and/or your WOL likes Zenos (or has positive leaning complicated feelings about him), then it's this really powerful moment where Zenos finally seems to have a breakthrough of understanding enough that he comes to find WOL at the edge of the universe, and upon seeing Endsinger is still alive, helps the WOL defeat her while never for a moment thinking he and WOL could fail to win. Resulting in Etheirys being saved, and the Final Days at last being completely put to rest. A feat even the ancients and acians couldn't fully achieve.
And if you and/or your WOL hates, doesn't care about, or dislikes Zenos, then all of that still happens. Only with the added funny note that the entirety of Etheirys, your friends, family, the world you love, and creation at large was saved at the last minute by the power of unrequited friendship.
