Nailah carries herself with noticeable confidence most days, despite the scars she bears. Most noticeably, there is a scar from the top of her right brow till under her eye from a bladed edge. When her back is exposed, there is a notable electrical burn scar along her lower back, and burn scars along her shoulders (which are mostly covered by her new tattoos). Her hands are weathered and worn, calloused and slightly burned from training.Recently, Nailah had aether-ink tattoos added to her skin. Spanning her arms, across her collarbones, and down her back, these are based on Arcanima's principles and intended to assist with aetherflow.Beyond that, Nailah loves her jewelry. Earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and rings for her fingers, ankles, and even her tail. When she is not working, it is very easily to identify her arrival based upon the jingling of all her jewelry.

About

Nailah's history is muddled at best, often difficult for her discern due to her spotty memory from her early childhood. What she is able to share, however, is upfront and honest: most of her formative years were spent as a Garlean conscript in the snowy tundras of Ilsebard. She worked under a Praefectus of the VIth Legion with a rather intense fascination for aetherology and understanding how it works from a Garlean perspective. It allowed her a strange position of understanding aetherflow from a culmination of sources acquired by her mentor from various regions.Eventually, however, Nailah parted ways and escaped the Garlean occupation. She spent years in a variety of circumstances, some less reputable than others, until she eventually landed an opportunity assisting with managing a free company stationed out of Ul'dah. It was there that she met her eventual husband, E'lias Windjammer, and the two mutually decided to try and pursue their passions rather than fulfilling roles for the sake of coin.Their pursuits for knowledge eventually landed them in Sharlayan, and connected them to an old, eccentric astrologian by the name of Lady Alexandara Bienvenue. It was due to her charity that they received a sponsorship and, eventually, citizenship within Sharlayan.
