Fairlight

Even split of shitposting, lesbian yearning, and suggestive selfies.

Source: it actually exists, both IC and OOC on Discord.

Mina is perpetually set to The Ondo Cups for using the funny exploit in Tempest to level BLU alone when I get bored.

This came up in my FC's Discord many moons ago.

Notice the lack of release. It is just pressure. Unrelenting. Stifling. Just like the first time you hear this fight in SMT4, you don't get a turn when you step into the ring with Mina unprepared. You perish.

the jonkler

Unless impractical for the activity she's doing, every IC outfit of Mina's will without question contain:

-Open-toed shoes
-Thick-rimmed glasses
-Wedding band

The OP observing that Free Company buffs had expired in Final Fantasy XIV and quickly refreshing them during an RP scene - an observation she was promptly called out for by someone not part of the scene. Throwing under the bus ensues.

This is why we can't have nice things.

I'm not saying Mina has a type, but four of her 5 serious romantic pursuits have been Viera (or Viera-passing), with their size and ears being points of attraction.

Leave it to the trans girl to accidentally RP as a chaser /s

My other characters were closer to "love at first sight".

Mina was mostly annoyed that she wasn't being allowed to be depressed in silence because of this woman who didn't speak enough Doman or Hingan to communicate with her (and Mina herself spoke no Eorzean at the time).

They've known each other a decade now, and been together for half of it.

Unless she's on her boat, Mina gets really cranky if she doesn't get her 5 malm run in first thing in the morning.

Mine's DIY starting from one of their pre-made templates.

My unsolicited advice: start with basics and add to it as you think of stuff. I treat my main's Carrd as a living document and fiddled with it constantly for almost a year to get what I have now.

Rome wasn't built in a day. Go brick by brick.

It's a bio, a timeline, a relationship breakdown... Mina's Carrd is practically an encyclopedia entry on the woman.

My other big characters have Carrds too but nowhere near as detailed.

Mina used one to make her tail bigger because as she got faster and stronger she needed more counter balance to stay effective.

She also thinks it's cuter but good luck getting her to say that, there's maybe 6 people shed admit that to.

I soft rebooted Nyssara/Isabeau because demure, shy ward hiding from her house was just not interesting or fun for anyone, including me, after the novelty wore off. Brash, party animal ward crashing out on purpose just to irritate her house is much more fun for all.

I still think the next XIV x MonHun collab should be Bazelgeuse carpetbombing random zones like Deathwing pre-Cataclysm and if you disagree you hate fun

For my other characters, the MSQ is a pesky thing I have to do every few months before I can go back to RPing.

I treat MSQ/WoL Mina as an AU. She's basically the same character, just with a few key life events that played out differently (first wife is definitely dead, married Aymeric before leaving for the east during SB, retired from the Bloodsands much earlier).

Beyond useless, though she has many friends she could learn from, and would like to.

Fishing, however?

(Not pictured: the "Women Want Me, Fish Fear Me" hat)

Mina's canon fighting style is literally "what if a Joshi Pro girlie also knew MMA?" There is a lot of strong style puroresu (and pro wrestling in general) in the way she carries herself in fighting arenas where the entertainment of the spectators matters as much as winning.

1) I was logged in when Dalamud was supposed to fall.

2) Don't Final my Fantasy.

Mina and Lyana were both in Thanalan and saw it happen in the distance.

Nyssi was in Coerthas and saw it until Dalamud passed behind the mountains.

Everyone was a safe distance away. The rest of my cast was so far away they never noticed the impact.

Mina's parents are on her tribe's council and they're on good terms. Just haven't seen each other for 15 years or so. Doesn't know where they are. Silly nomad tribe!

Lyana and Una see their parents a lot. Healthy relationships.

The rest of my cast is orphaned or estranged. Woo.

Wow I did this so long ago it was under my old handle, my answers have not changed though.

The struggle for autonomy against circumstances outside their control.

Mina: Saya's apparent death and the resulting grief spiral (resolved)
Lyana: Her obligations to the Sultansworn
Brenn & Saya: Conscription into the XIIth Legion (resolved)
Una: Her binding to Myraelis
Nyssara: Her guardians

As to the actual question, aside from Brenn being terrified of Mina and the strong possibility of bloodshed if Saya runs into Brenn and/or Mina, they all get along well enough. Friendly acquaintances at worst.

Save one, all my XIV OCs know of at least one other. Mina is the common thread. Natsuki is the only one totally unrelated to the existing cast.

@put-the-kettle-on.bsky.social your time has come

None have. Only Una and Lyana want them.

Mina's wife is freaked out by small children and it's a nonstarter. Brenn is too scarred from his conscription in the XIIth Legion. Nyssi is too young to have really thought about it.

Mina spars in the fighting pit at her free company's house.

Lyana and Brenn drink.

Una chainsmokes.

Nyssi parties, though she's quickly being pulled down to earth thanks to a certain someone.
