Kaori Hada
A seemingly demure Hyur from Hingashi. Kaori is the youngest daughter of the Hada clan; a small family with an estate on Koshu. For reasons she's not too open about, Kaori was exiled from Hingashi.Hada is now a wandering priestess of kami that is more akin to a shaman. She is more than happy to help with mundane and basic healing to complex curse removal and exorcisms; basic charms to complicated blessings. She's a priestess for the land and a healer for the mind, body, and soul.
This is a work in progress. Started Nov 8th, 2024. Last updated June 1st, 2025. My to-do list:
—Add screenshots everywhere, improve colours and buttons, and add more information about my FC as a placeholder until I make a carrd for it.
—General overall improvements to colour scheme, readability, verbage, and layout.
—Add a Media page for screenshots and art that will be put up as I feel I have enough to warrant a full page.
Thank you for understanding ♥

A young woman that was adopted by the Hada Clan at a young age. Her official name is Kaori. However, with trusted friends she may reveal her name of choice. One that honours her birth mother. Thus, her chosen and preferred name of Kaori among those choice of close friends and family.Hada has travelled the East and Near East considerably; though only recently arrived to Aldenard. (( Not going to update this, so for reference August of 2024 )) The young woman stylises herself as a Priestess of Amatsukami. As such, she can perform rituals, rites, blessings, charms, geomancy, and healing magicks that may seem a little advanced and unorthodox to some.She can be demure and shy with people she doesn't know. However, Kaori can be playful and a little silly. Sometimes this may seem unprofessional and immature, but don't be fooled into thinking she's incompetent. She is often curious, good-natured, positive, and quite perceptive.
Have you need of healing? An unusual ailment or even family curse? Hada can help!
Does your home or land need to be warded or purified? Hada can help!
Worried the souls of loved ones are not passing to the lifestream? Hada can help!
Do you find yourself in need of mystical charms for just about anything? Hada can help!
Do you wish to have magically enhanced armor or weapons? Hada can help!
Do you need a good drinking buddy? It may take time for her to be comfortable, but Hada loves to drink!
Are you in Twelveswood and looking for a comfortable place to relax or stay the night at? Celestial Sanctuary can help!
None of these actually work? Just say hi! Plots are fun and all, but sometimes just saying hi gets it all started. I'm always happy to discuss alternatives OOC as well.
Important Disclaimer:
When it comes to healing or helping with curses, I shall work with you. If you do not want everything fixed for story reasons, I do not mind.Results of her help! may vary.

Hey everyone!♥ Thank you for coming to look at my carrd. It's still a massive work in progress! I posted it to get my OOC info out there. My name is Lily and I'm a 21+ year old woman. I typically roleplay late night and early morning weekdays. My work schedule makes roleplaying on weekends almost impossible most of the year.I've been playing MMORPGs (FFXI my first!) since about 2004. I was introduced to roleplaying in MMOs around 2013 and it quickly became one of my favorite hobbies. I've mostly being roleplaying in FFXIV, though I did dabble a little in ESO, SWTOR, and GW2.✿If you have any questions after reading this page feel free to ask!✿
An important thing I would like to add is why this is such a hefty work in progress. The truth is, my original character concept was an Au Ra that has developed since HW. She was finally refined to near perfection and then DT broke her face sculpt. I tried to fix it, I even commissioned someone to fix it. I was dissatisfied and I just could not make her look good with all the changes. So, I've tweaked her a bit, her story, and kept many of the core concepts.
I hate sounding negative or hostile, but it needs saying. If any of below mentioned points are ignored, I will either ask you to discontinue or blacklist you. Please understand I am not trying to tell anyone how they should roleplay. I'm explaining what makes me uncomfortable and makes my hobby of roleplaying unappealing.
Absolutely Not's for me are as followed:— Metagaming / Godmodding
— Character Death / Permanent Maiming
— Non-consensual Sex Scenes
— ERP scenes with minors (IC or OOC minors)IC and OOC shall always remain separate entities
— I roleplay for fun, not RL romance. I am not interested in long distance relationships.
— I do not tolerate bigotry and prejudice. Including but not exclusive to: Sexuality, gender, or race.
A Polite Disclaimer
— Please understand this character is not a self-insert of my opinions or views. Not all of Kaori's views are necessarily shared with me, the player. With that in mind she is LGBTQ+ friendly, and those are my own personal beliefs.
What I'm looking for is long-term IC contacts, friends, and possibly (but unlikely) a roleplaying Free Company suitable for my character. I enjoy writing and don't mind meeting people in idle conversation without any serious commitment to follow despite seeking long-term contacts. It's how you have to meet people anyway and is usually still fun!Roleplaying Style: I have a strong preference for /say and /emote. I try to write several lines per post if it's warranted and am not against multi-paragraph posting. I will try to mirror who I am roleplaying with to the best of my ability. I typically only use /tell in RP in conjunction with an emote to indicate my character is whispering or in response to a shared (IC) 'linkpearl'.In-Game Languages: Another note I would like to elaborate on is that I will always write in English. I will not use another real world language in substitute of a fantasy language. Pretty please do not assume that I know common Japanese or really any non-English phrases/words when used in place of game languages. Having to use a translator only makes RP feel more clunky to me. When my character does speak in a different language than common IC, I use XIV's autotranslate brackets symbols that loosely will look like: "{| Hello, my name is Hada and I am speaking in Hingan right now. |}"Walk-ups: ♡ I love them. If you see me with /roleplaying up you do not have to ask if it's okay to approach. It always is! My average post time is between 2-5 minutes, but sometimes a more complex post may take up to 10 minutes. If longer that that, I may of missed your post and will not begrudge anyone for a /tell poke. I sometimes disable standard emotes from being displayed due to spam. If your approach is just a standard emote I may miss it.Mature themes: I'm open to almost all mature themes except sexual violence and non-consensual sex scenes. If you're worried, do not hesitate to ask if a scene is alright. I don't easily judge or feel a need to shame anyone's style.Erotic Roleplay: I have no problem with ERP, nor am I driven by it. Kaori tends to be shy and reserved with such topics.Lore: I abide to FFXIV's to the best of my ability. Please do not mistake this as me being a lore enforcer. I am open minded and recognize creativity is a large part of roleplay and we are fortunate enough to play an MMORPG with a lot of flexibility. A note about her name. She formally goes by Hada, her Family name. However, in Character Creation, it says directly "Forename" and "Surname" in that order. So that is how I chose to name her.Combat Roleplay: Kaori is a peaceful woman and not likely to get involved in any serious fights. I prefer some OOC communication when combat is involved and don't favor /random. It has a place, though. However, if an attack is very obvious and telegraphed I'm not going to indulge a roll. i.e. Your character says "I'm going to punch you in the face". /em throws a punch. No amount of rng is going to make my character stand there and get hit.Socially: I am a little timid and do not like to impose. I accept all friend requests but I'm shy about sending them out most of the time. This is not a reflection of my thoughts on our RP together or your character. I also largely consider /tell and party to be OOC unless there's some indication it's IC. This means sometimes I may forget (( brackets )) to indicate I'm talking OOC in these channels. I will always use "quotes" for my IC posts.Mare is available upon request. If we never RP I may remove/pause you. I may also pause you (or animations) if you have obnoxious animations/sounds that you spam frequently, especially outside of RP. I'm looking at you, screenshake Doters.Discord is available upon request. I do not roleplay via Discord, though. It's mostly for scheduling and planning RP or just socialising.
