Fraeswys Doerdyrfwyn

Fraeswys... definitely admires her own muscles from time to time. She hasn't trained so hard NOT to!

Fraeswys in her dancer glam (cowboyish hat, pink nails clearer in pics 2-3, leather boots) posing with her chakrams in front of a wooden building in Shaaloani.

An action pose balancing on the saloon balcony railing.

A night shot; Fraeswys is mid-jump on that railing against the town.

#RoevemberXIV Day 9
Free day, so I thought I'd take some shots of my [square?] dancer glam!
(Canonically Fraeswys should probably have even more abs, but I don't yet feel the need to turn to crime for that :P)
#roegadyn #femroe #gpose

Dragoon: Fraeswys, wearing a behemoth head and behemoth-themed purple armor, roars at the moon from atop a Coerthan mountain.

Summoner: Fraeswys in a purple robe adorned with crystals and draconic goggles (a horn on each side makes them obviously twice as good as a normal summoning horn), holding a quill in her back hand and a winged book.

Scholar: Fraeswys with a high-tech book, fancy blue academic robes, and a blue witchy cap mugs for the camera with her fairy Selene in front.

Monk: Fraeswys in a fighting stance at the Temple of the Fist; her fists glow with the symbol of Rhalgr the Destroyer.

#RoevemberXIV Day 8: Collection
+To make up for missing Threads, here's a... collection of some rare Fraeswys job glams I might otherwise forget this month!

"I adjusted my cap, my only scant measure of protection in the crime-drenched streets of the city. Rumors had swirled of a rash of pants theft I wanted no part of. I needed all the distance I could find. I clung to my weapon, a carefully concealed giant axe, ready to draw at a GCD's notice."

A grainy, almost-sepia shot of Fraeswys in her Inspector outfit adjusting her bespectacled cap in front of an Idyllshire building with rain visible behind.

Another shot of the same scene, with Fraeswys and the wall behind her more front-on.

[comically indulgent narration below:]

Fraeswys sitting on the edge of a Costa del Sol pier in her beach/summer outfit: red bandana, coral pink tank top, long cargo shorts, and dalmascan leather shoes. From her left, showing her dragon face tattoo.

Same, but from slightly to her right.

Same shot, zoomed in like some videogame deaths.

#RoevemberXIV Day 3: Near Miss
#roegadyn #femroe #gpose

Fraeswys can't complain; she lives pretty frugally, has modest savings, and plenty left over to donate most of. She mostly takes side jobs just for something to do!

Portrait of Fraeswys, front-on, relaxing by the fire (not shown) in the Dravanian Forelands hunters' camp, with the moon in the sky behind.

Side view of Fraeswys contently sitting by a campfire set up on ruins in the Dravanian Forelands, with a glimpse of the night sky showing from behind the mountains.

#RoevemberXIV Day 2: Campfire
It was in trekking through the Forelands that Fraeswys started to grow into herself as an adventurer, ditching her (clearly useless) old mask forever.
#roegadyn #femroe #gpose

Fraeswys, wearing Roegadyn starter gear, a garish chestpiece, and a pirate-y goggle-mask bandana, stands on the docks in Limsa Lominsa looking out towards the city.

The same scene from behind, looking towards the city.

#RoevemberXIV Day 1: Starting Out
Some time after the Calamity and her old pirate crew breaking up, Fraeswys washed back up in Limsa Lominsa to start anew as an adventurer. Her disguise was... ill-considered, but no one there paid it any mind.
#femroe #gpose

She was... burned a lot as a pirate, nearly gave up on dating entirely. Considers herself very lucky to have found someone so understanding of duty and supportive of her and her adventuring. (Even if it took her forever - until after barely returning from ShB - to "officially" ask him out.)

No. Fraeswys is a rebel, fighter against fate, and herself. The only thing she'll accept she got from her soul is power and responsibility.
Without the Calamity, she would've happily stayed a pirate, and never have even met Aymeric. All the more special that chance brought them together.

Sometimes just discreetly calling attention to the fuckoff-huge axe on her back by nudging it a little does wonders at calming things down.
... Failing that, one good smack with the blunt side.

gonna go with a helmeted water toad, look at the size of that thing!

Fraeswys would try the Chrono Trigger gambit to hopefully save Moenbryda and bring her back in the present *without* erasing all her own resulting personal development and world-saving in between.

Fraeswys is an enthusiastic if not perfectly graceful dancer, mostly-learning new moves over her travels.
She still favors Limsan step, though she's a Square DNCer. Aymeric's taught her some Ishgardian ballroom; she prefers to lead.
And absolutely.

... oh no, Fraeswys would totally loudly riff on the movie and think she was hilarious. (Unless she had betters to impress.) She'd also quietly wolf down a worrying amount of popcorn.

So Fraeswys gets called "Frae" (pronounced ≈Fray) for short a lot, sometimes just by people who aren't comfortable with Roegadyn pronunciation; but Aymeric says it pretty romantically.

Fraeswys has long stopped caring about trying to be Conventionally Attractive or "pretty" vs. handsome; if some ABSOLUTE COWARDS can't handle a buff 7' green woman, their loss.
She's definitely hot, IMO, just a little more niche.

Axe Gal Solidarity! 🤝
Fraeswys enjoyed playing mentor but also picked up a few new techniques from the Turali traditions from Wuk Lamat herself. They became pretty good combat friends.

Fraeswys was also a HUGE Ketenramm fan and *totally* normal about somehow getting to meet him.

okay there's technically some 2/1 in there, but Fraeswys is really 4 except the "loving home" from then on just happened to also be a pirate crew

Fraeswys's pirate crew kept a pretty small cut for themselves to give a lot to the poor. She's done the same with her adventuring earnings, especially after saving a little for retirement just in case.

At this point Fraeswys entirely accepts the common "Fray-swiss" over the more strictly Roegadyn "-sveese". Many just shorten it to Frae.
(Which makes the DRK Fray stuff funny to me. She totally interpreted it as a roe name, practically her own, and then didn't think it was suspicious at all.)

Fraeswys goes on walks to clear her head a lot.

Fraeswys did NOT care for Aymeric at first at all. 2.x was a rough time for her, last thing she needed was *another* schemer treating her as a tool.
(He was nicer after, of course, but putting himself on the line for his beliefs in HW is what really started winning her over.)

Fraeswys wants to never lose sight of fighting for a cause, not for violence's sake. (If she can win without, even better: less risk, more live enemies to spread intimidating rumors to any others.) It's what sets her apart from... some.
But she DOES enjoy using it, and is very, very good at it.

Cyr... y'know, the dork from HW Hildi. A detective's gotta keep anyone they can trust...
(She's trying to unravel the Inquisition for keeping him out of town, among their many other offenses.)

Fraeswys coped by mostly staying mad at Zenos not even letting her fight herself, the ONE thing that could've been cool about it for her.
Her Inner Beast was stuck in her body, fighting Zenos for control KH-style. (His speech at the end's partly because he mistook it for The Real Her, not a part.)
