Pros and Cons of Dating Drohkya

PROS

Well off: Drohkya has her own home and plenty of money thanks to her pragmatic (shady and sometimes downright illegal) business practices. If you go on a date it will be to a nice place and she will pay for all of it.

The finer things: As mentioned above, Drohkya is willing to pay for the finer things in life. Your outings together will be filled with luxury.

Modesty: Despite her taste in the finer things, Drohkya remains modest in word and appearance, which means she is not one to boast of her deeds or wear flashy clothes and jewelry. She is content to let you be the one to do all the showing off and she will not contest your claims even if she knows she could do better.

Skilled combatant: You will never have to worry about your safety when you are with her. She is the only danger you need to be aware of.

She has a bike: It is badass and she will take you for a ride on it.

CONS

Persona: Drohkya seems to be incapable of dropping the facade of a mild mannered professional even in private. It sometimes makes her seem a bit emotionless, which makes sense because...

She does not really love you and probably never will: The emotions that Drohkya feels range from extremely muted to completely nonexistent. Romantic love is likely on the nonexistent side of her emotional spectrum. If she is with you then she probably has an unorthodox reason for it.

Will not have sex with you either: The only thing Drohkya feels less than love is lust. Chances are that she will not do it for the purpose of procreation either and will die childless.

Killer: They say that someone who does what they love for a living never works a day in their life and that is definitely the case for Drohkya, which says quite a bit about her considering her normally muted emotions. If you are not okay with senseless death then you will not have a good time once you truly get to know Drohkya. She certainly isn’t going to be giving up her lifestyle for you.

Might kill you: Drohkya will not think twice about killing you if she thinks you no longer have a place in her life. If it makes you feel any better, she will try to do it quickly and painlessly while you are not paying attention, Steinbeck style.

Just don’t date her.

Hairstyle Evolution

Pre-Calamity

A Realm Reborn+Heavensward

Stormblood

Pre-Calamity:

As you can probably guess based on the image, Drohkya was a very different person back then. She did not care too much about keeping her hair nice and tidy and simply tied it back in a messy ponytail.

A Realm Reborn+Heavensward:

A lot happened for Drohkya between the Pre-Calamity era and the Realm Reborn era. After experiencing a complete shift in personality, she traveled across the sea to Eorzea where she began working as a sellsword. During her early days of work she began emulating the habits and mannerisms of the more successful members of society to help her find work more easily. Among these habits was proper hair care. She trimmed down her long and unkempt hair to a neater, more manageable style of hair.

While some may think that this was unimportant in her line of work, Drohkya believed that prospective employers would still rather speak to someone who looked neat and professional than savage and unkempt.

Stormblood:

Drohkya dropped the coat and hat look in favor of something more professional looking for day to day life. She continues to maintain her style of hair, albeit with a little trim to the sides to add a bit of style to the practicality.

What color is your Soulmark?

The color you fit most is Gold!

Considered a lucky color to have, the gold soul color is never short of achieving their goals and prospering. Analytical, intelligent, and cunning, the gold soulcolor is alluring to even those who aren’t their soulmate. You either envy them or hate them, there is no in between, and they’re fine with that.

This color has expensive tastes and chooses to live in the world of high fashion. They aren’t shy about showing off their achievements and wealth, and they often lose themselves in materialistic things. Bigger and better is their motto.

Gold soulmarks can seem shallow and judgmental to those who don’t know them well. They’re not afraid to cut nuisance out of their life and don’t put up with different opinions than their own. They are known to indulge in self care often, and they avoid things that stress them out as much as possible.

Always knowing how to get what they want, the gold soul color surrounds themselves with people who are not going to stand in their way. They are usually surrounded by a small clique of people designed to lift their spirits with praise. They are also clingy to those who make them feel good, and they are known for bending for those they deem important.

Take it here if you want.

Drohkya believes that life exists to be enjoyed and she certainly lives like someone who thinks so. Though she is modest in word and appearance, she still lives in a fancy home filled with all sorts of luxuries ranging from a personal library to a rare weapon collection. Even her tea and snacks are of the highest quality. Everything she has was paid for in someone’s blood.

Drohkya may take a minimalist approach to dressing herself for day to day business but she does not do the same for her combat attire. Her weapons and armor are made of top of the line materials with added functionalities inspired by what is worn by the Imperial elite. Some may call this a luxury too but she considers it a work expense.

Four Temperaments

Phlegmatic

"The phlegmatic temperament is traditionally associated with water. People with this temperament may be inward and private, thoughtful, reasonable, calm, patient, caring, and tolerant. They tend to have a rich inner life, seek a quiet, peaceful atmosphere, and be content with themselves. They tend to be steadfast, consistent in their habits, and thus steady and faithful friends. People of this temperament may appear somewhat ponderous or clumsy at times. Pedagogically, their interest is often awakened by experiencing others' interest in a subject." - Steiner, Rudolf (2008). The Four Temperaments. Rudolf Steiner Press.

Sounds like Drohkya. She is an excessively calm person, maybe even to a point where people may find it unnatural. Her favorite activities outside of work tend to be solo activities where she can have peace and quiet. When she isn’t busy with work she can be found reading at home, going for a walk in the forest, taking her horse or bike for a ride, or whittling away at a piece of wood in her yard.
