(Since you're past Shadowbringers, and you know about Azem) Mistein calling everyone "old boy" and "old friend" feels different now 😭

Sometimes purposefully mischievous, and very serious at other moments.
Even though Mistein looks young, she tries to behave more strictly towards the younger ones, usually looking at them with the “big sister” arrogance, trying to moralize them in “her own style”. She may look full of bravado from time to time, but she has a soft spot for her friends and people around her, and despite her apparent snarkiness, she often acts in the interests of others.
Mistein is really enjoying a new world unknown to her, as she has been absent for a long time.
⊱༒Story ⊰
The Au Ra was found in one of the newly formed crevices in Coerthas just after Calamity. Covered with snow, she lay there without breathing until her soul awoke. With first breath, Mistein opened her eyes, blinded by the light and unbearable pain.
The knights carried her to the nearest camp, where she stayed for a while until she regained consciousness. People didn't see much of Auri in those lands, so she was somehow attracting unwanted attention.
Her memories of the past were very foggy, as she knew only vaguely about it – that she had been banished from her land, forgotten, exiled. Shattered, watching the catharsis...
Over time, she recollects some more about her background – of her past habits and passions; does she always look like this?...
Then started nightmares. They were too real, haunting her every step, every breath, every moment. Something awoken too, with her.
But these nightmares were driven away by a gentle, long-familiar voice. The same voice that guided her before the darkness. Darkness, that was lit with temporary cloudy flashes of consciousness, soft glow and the glitter of blue crystals.ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Mistein remembered someone, something: man on some flying structure, praying woman with white hair and bright blue eyes, and someone mighty, who made her woke up eventually...
For some time, she worked and lived in the camps of Coerthas to pay off the "debt" of her salvation. Sometime past and visions began to appear for her again. She started to travel by following the voice, spent about five years wandering, until she ended up in Ul’dah to start her journey.
⊱༒Main NPCs relationships ⊰
Alphinaud — He’s taking on too much responsibility and tries to seem mature, but in her eyes, he is still a child who worries too much, so she likes to remind him of that, by treating him like a baby.
Alisaie — Mistein respects her boundaries most of the time, because, unlike her brother, Alisaie doesn't pretend to be more than she is. Mistein likes her audacity and honesty, but that favorability doesn't keep her from irritating that girl at times.
Thancred — Although he's a nice guy, he's also too careless for his age and always surprises Mistein with his uncharacteristic resilience when he's serious. In some way, he reminds her of herself.
Y’shtola — They're just good friends, who occasionally exchange barbs and subtle insults which cause small, dry quarrels. But they both know that they treasure each other after all.
Urianger — She likes his high-flown speech and honesty, but they don't have many points of contact, apart from a shared love for friends.
G’raha — She likes his kindness and responsiveness, but because of his excessive admiration for Mistein, she often pokes him about it. She treats him sweetly as the youngest, and sometimes likes to show her favoritism for this Miqo'te.
Tataru — Mistein scares Tataru, so she tries not to cross paths with her more than necessary. Besides, that particular Lala’ doesn’t need to know where the “emergency money” went.
Krile — They quickly got along based on a shared love of teasing, although Mistein often does it in a cruder from Krile form, which she unsuccessfully scolded for. They like to gossip among themselves and discuss others.
Estinien — At first, Mistein was annoyed by his brusqueness and inability to read the situation, reinforced, and, at first glance, by his disregard for others. But the more she got to know him, the more she realized that all this was just a facade, behind which Elezen, traumatized by the past, was hidden, trying to fix a long-standing situation at any cost. Over time, she became attached to him, and later even began to experience previously unknown feelings, which were revealed at the moment when she almost lost him.
TL;DR slowburn.
