Jun Szeto @ Faerie

Androgynous: Everything about their appearance suggests that they try to give off the impression that they are neither male nor female. How you interpret their performance is, of course, up to you.

Vain: Very particular about their appearance. Rare is the time where they are not perfectly made up and dressed for the occasion.

Polite, almost excessively: Their manners are nigh impeccable, but not in the way someone with a rich upbringing is – every greeting and honorific seems incredibly practiced.

Well-read: Constantly referencing novels or quoting flowery lines from some manner of book. They may appreciate a new friend who’s also aware of the Eorzean literary scene.

Fragrant: They either smell like the Shroud in bloom, or like they've just been baking pastries. A perceptive one might notice cinnamon, vanilla bean, fruit, nutmeg, and other common pastry ingredients.

Master artisan: Jun runs a small crafting studio in Ishgard, where they take custom crafting orders for ornamental items like jewelry and clothing. They honed their skills at their previous job – filling leve orders for basic adventuring gear at the Shaded Bower in Gridania.

Enthusiastic home cook: Jun adores a good meal and has found cooking to be both fun and profitable. First starting with vegetarian cuisine and pastries, they have since progressed to cooking all kinds of food! Currently, their obsession is with a Doman cookbook they received as a gift over Heavensturn.

Hobby generalist: Aside from their career as an independent artisan, Jun has various hobbies, which they are happy to enthuse about to anyone willing to listen. Expect them to discuss their favorite fiction novels, gouache painting (they’re just alright at it), basic conjury (they only know two spells) and more!

Socially awkward: Despite their deep knowledge of etiquette, Jun struggles to connect with others naturally and form genuine bonds. They spend a lot of time and effort reading books, practicing their conversation topics in the mirror at home, and mimicking the behavior of more sociable acquaintances… though they often find that gift giving is a better way of expressing how much they care.

Mundane traveler: Once, Jun tried attuning to two aetherytes in Gridania and transporting between them. They spent the next three days sick in bed, drained from the strain that even jumping short distances put on their body. Having learned their lesson quickly, they opted instead to stick to conventional means of travel ever after – airships, chocobo porters, and their own two feet, when neither of those are possible.
