Lillin Snjorvisk

Story of a Dancer

Deep within the Skatay Range resides a Viera tribe different from the others, who cast none from their ranks and share their home with beings of the void. They're a closed community rarely interacted with, even with other Vieran tribes, and fiercely guarded by its inhabitants. How this arrangement began has long since been lost to the rains of time, but it's effects have more than shown themselves through the ages. Though somewhat uncommon, it is not rare for a child of the tribe to be touched by the void, born with a strange ability gifted from their voidsent clanmates. Lillin was one such member, gifted with the ability to change their shape. They were young when they discovered this power, shifting a look that always remained them but different. It was peaceful for a time.The smell of cinders and the image of smoke against a burning night sky are all Lillin really remembers when the Garleans attacked their home. They were young for a Viera, that much they're certain of, but flashes of tribemates falling at the hands of men clad in metal remain vivid in their mind. Only a handful of their fellows managed to escape, fleeing across the sea to Thavnair. There, they settled with what was left of their kin, learning a new culture and way of life.Thavnair was a far cry from the snowy peaks Lillin had known, but as time went on they quickly became accustomed to the jungle heat and sea side chill. The vibrancy of their new home became a comfort and soon a familiarity. With the bustle of life, they grew an appreciation for the arts both in fashion and in performance, taking to learn how to dance. Eventually their studies took them to traveling the world.However, as the Seventh Umbral Calamity drew near, their travels halted in Gridania where they lent aid to the Conjurers Guild in helping the wounded and sick. After surviving the devastation they continued their efforts before eventually leaving the Guild to continue forging their own path. Taking to traveling once more, they joined a dance troupe harking back to their time in Thavnair and expressing their desire to bring a smile and hope to all they crossed paths with.☆—Work In Progress—☆
