Aluette was born in a lore typical Rava tribe deep within The Wood.When four summers passed she was kidnapped by Garleans, taken to Ul’dah, sold in back alley trade as a slave, and forced into sex trafficking as a hostess at a pillow house. Her upbringing was filled with abuse and uncertainty of surviving to the next day.She developed deep relationships with the other trafficked women in her house, and acted as a “Top Dog." At the time she was a reluctant protector, and wouldn’t deter from detrimental behavior like drug use and alcoholism, often enabling it if it benefited her.Aluette had a first love, a Xaela man who promised to help her escape her back alley life, groomed her, and ended up breaking her heart and abandoning her. Rumor has it she has a weakness for Xaela men because of this first love experience.-------After some time Aluette's procurer, a Highlander named Barich, allowed her to work outside the reach of Thanalan due to "good behavior" and notoriety. Nights she'd be able to leave Ul'dah were her favorite.She began to meet different kinds of people now that she was outside Thanalan. Namely an Elezen woman, the heiress to House Despereaux. This woman agreed to train her as a Dragoon after hearing Aluette had no battle experience but was covered in scars and bruises.As time passed and Aluette became careless, and would make mistakes whether due to the fault of her own or the fault of another while working. She would often be punished with physical beatings and torture.During a particular beating she thought for certain she would die. She snatched a spear from a nearby suit of armor and held it out to her procurer in a last stitch self defense. He laughed at her, thinking he knew full well she had no training with it. The knowledge was proven unnecessary in the end, as he tripped and fell directly onto it impaling himself.-----Rattled with fear Aluette fled. She sought refuge at a night club she is employed, The Sapphire Reliquary. The owner, a snowy-haired Miqo'te man, agreed her safety in return for her loyalty to him. Although she feared this man, and didn't trust him, living under his roof is better for the time being then certain death else where.Since then no direct attacks have befallen the Rava. She does her best to avoid areas like the Quick Sands and other places she often frequented. With a new sense of freedom she's been enjoying life and experiencing things. Being able to keep her wages has allowed her a life of suitable comfort that she does not take for granted.

Having a permanent place of residence, time, and freedom of her own Aluette dives (literally) into her Dragoon training. Long but rewarding days with her mentor, Cosette de Depereaux, bring the Rava a sense of confidence she had only feigned previously.---A few mistakes, miscalucations, and hardships later... Aluette finds out quickly that this life of freedom does not free her from consequences of her own actions. After a night of scolding from her direct superior, and most admired authority figure, Aluette took her fate into her own hands. She wanted to prove herself useful to this person. She wanted to be powerful, and she wanted it now. Since recently visiting a night club, and meeting a particular Xaela, the Rava was met with a unique opportunity at the perfect time.
---
For three quarters of her life, the Voidsent granted the Rava the powers of telekinesis, strength, and intelligence. She has only begun to learn her new powers and how to control them, but she was certain this would make her valuable to those she wanted to be of use to most.
---
Since her attempt of reclaiming her self worth by means of Voidsent prowess, Aluette has found herself within a strew of bad luck, brash decisions, and frankly: depression. She's a bit lost now, having had time to be free and is only discovering now that she's able to truly think for herself and not for others or her life's safety. She's distanced herself from various people she once admired, and one will likely find her slumped over a bar with a drink in hand these days when she's not working. To earn extra gil, and keep her brain demons at bay, she's picked up odd jobs including robbery and assassination. Each job has proven successful and lucrative thus far, and the desire to throw herself into her work is only growing.Time slowly passed, her techniques gradually honed, and the woman slowly felt herself coming back to life. As she learned to use and harness her new powers she'd proven herself useful - to herself. The blossoming confidence spirals into instant attraction to multiple potential romantic partners. Love is in the air, and just in the nick of time bad luck rears it's ugly head. The voidsent Aluette is contracted with begins possessing the her fully, and she's unable to control or tame him. She's heard whispers of a new battle class taking Erozea by storm that allows you to harness the power of Voidsent. Aluette prays this could be the answer to her quandary.Many moons passed since Aluette made contact with Drusilla of the Lemures, the hushed Reaper Guild in the back alleys of the Sapphire Avenue Exchange. Aluette's reputation proceeded her and the information she needed about the guild came easily thanks to connections in Thanalan. The Rava works towards a "revised" contract with her contracted voidsent, and in the end they agree to fight alongside each other.With her powers now in check Aluette is ready to properly train alongside her beloved Voidsent, Enkh, and foster a bond in addition to their prowess. As she finds more time in her day to day she picks up another job at a local under ground fight club and tavern handling their promotion. She's able to fill in all the slots needed during open hours as well, but the amount of people she knows makes the woman an ideal candidate for this kind of position.Updated 6/21/2022










I'm a 21+ female always looking for more RP friends in Eorzea! Feel free to speak with me OOC! ! I am firm believer in separating IC interaction and OOC interaction.Please do not bleed or make assumptions that Aluette's actions, thoughts, and/or opinions are my own - THEY ARE NOT.
----
That being said, Aluette is my dark muse character and I understand her themes and story are not everyone's cup of tea - and that's okay! Please keep OOC communication open and communicate if there's ever any issues between us or there is something you are OOC uncomfortable with.
---
I'm actually a very soft lawful good person so writing Aluette can often be a challenge, but I love her even more because of this - and I hope you'll come to love her too!
Hooks
"I know a guy..."
Aluette knows a lot of interesting people who are well versed in a lot of interesting things. From the study of aether, selling of specialty herbs, to heads of government you may be able to sway... she has information.Party Animal
Aluette is a young woman experiencing a lot of firsts. She's eager to try new things and go new places, and is always down for a drink or ten! She also runs in the circles of all of Eorzea's night clubs! Maybe you've seen her dancing?A knack for survival
Aluette has been close to deaths door more than once and had to learn how to live on the streets. Not only is she street smart she knows how to live off less than nothing. If you're in a rut and need some assistance, so long as the benefit is mutual, she'd be willing to help.The Desert Rose
Aluette is famous for her intimate services and dancing throughout Thanalan. Have you heard whispers of the Desert Rose? What had you heard? Perhaps there's more to this name then most are aware.So you think you can dance?
Although Aluette's upbringing was less than stellar she found joy in dance. She was able to study under some masters from Thavnair and beyond in training to become a proper courtesan. It's something she's been passionate about for as long as she can remember. Are you interested in learning? Have you studied the art as well?"For the Ladies!"
Having suffered under the patriarchy for far too long, Alu has a bit of a chip on her shoulder for men in general. If she hears even a whisper of a woman being mistreated by a male she's likely to act swiftly and quickly."Somethin' up with ya aether, mate..."
Aluette's voidsent powers provided a lot of things, and one of them was the gift of aether sight. If your character is aspected heavily one way or the other, or has aether sickness of some kind, she would be able to see this and would likely bring it up.
