The Journey

Esper is the daughter of adventurers and hunters-for-hire Briet Fyth (mother, Rava) and Orvokki (father, Veena). They settled near a Keeper tribe in the Shroud to raise Esper and she ended up adopting many of their customs growing up. She inherited a love of the wide unknown world from her father, and from her mother, a sincere and trusting nature. Both a Scion and a member of the Stormriders Free Company, Esper goes where she can be of assistance.

Personality

Esper considers everyone she meets a friend, and adjusts according to their actions afterwards. She has a deep love of nature and eagerly points out the first small flowers blooming after winter, or colors in a sunrise. She is intelligent, but easily flustered.

The Journey

Prior to the Calamity, Esper enjoyed a fairly normal life with her parents and the nomadic Keeper tribe they worked with. Her mother Briet often told stories of Golmore, but her father Orvokki never spoke of his life in the Skatay foothills, preferring to fill her head with tales of adventure and the beautiful places they had been before she was born. Esper developed a passion for wandering around the Shroud, following game trails, watching birds learn to fly, and picking flowers with her mother.Although she integrated fairly well with the Keepers, adopting their diety and their more expressive mannerisms, Esper was always aware of her differences. She grew increasingly introspective as she grew up, and often went off by herself, learning to prefer the company of moonlight and animals until the Calamity occurred. Her father was wounded during the event and they moved to Bentbranch Meadows to earn a less dangerous living. Esper's feeling of helplessness during the Calamity pushed her to go seriously study thaumaturgy in Ul'dah, where her life as the Warrior of Light began...

Personality and Behavior

Esper is sincere to a fault, unable to lie convincingly or mask her emotions when they're strong. She loves early mornings, waking up and taking a cup of coffee to somewhere with a view to watch the sunrise. She is always looking around at her surroundings or up at the sky, and tends to space out unless someone points out that her focus is required. She can paint and sketch, and likes to send little pictures and letters back home to her parents. She also loves chocobos, her favorite being Concha, her pink chocobo. She takes excellent care of her, and throws her a birthday every year, even though Concha doesn't understand what's happening.She accepts her role as the Warrior of Light, even though the pressure can get immense, because she would rather face the challenges than leave them to someone else who will get hurt. She's very much a "better me than them" type of person and acts confident to keep people's hope up even though she is more often nervous or scared. What she resents most is when strangers mythologize her or gossip.At her heart she prefers to think the best of people, so when starting out with the Scions, she relied heavily on her more discerning associates to determine how much to trust someone.She hates to be mischaracterized and it annoys her when people don't respect the boundaries of others or make assumptions. Since she can't hide emotions well, she will try to be upfront in saying she's upset with someone, but when she's stressed out, she will fidget mindlessly or go somewhere quiet to think or tend to her chocobo.
