At a glance, you see a short, orange haired Miqo'te. She is cheery, almost always with a smile on her face. If there was a walking example of warmth, she is it. Beneath the smile lingers hints that something hurt is hidden away. Her body is crisscrossed with scars from years of war. She is heavily muscled for her size. Her ears and tail are significantly larger then a typical Eorzean Miqo'te's, a sign of her Dalmascian heritage. Your eyes would catch the ends of scars covered by clothing, and if you stare into her eyes you will find pain that has yet to heal.

Strengths
Lethe is a strong swordswoman and skilled in combat magic. She is headstrong and very sure of who and what she is. Determined and brave, she does not flinch easy and will face any problem head on. She'll be the first to step up, and gives everything she does 110%. Her loyalty is easy to earn and friendships come quickly to her. Everywhere she goes it is easy for her to find friends and allies.Weaknesses
War has left scars on the young woman. She had to skip the last years of being a teenager and grow super fast. This has left her rather immature and sometimes shallow when she is not preparing to deal with something dangerous. Though she has support from friends, she hates her scars and does not find any beauty in them. She can be quick to get frustrated and short. She can also be too forgiving, and this sometimes attracts not great people to her. Her health also suffers. Her many wounds have left her joints beat, and she will start slowing down sooner then she would prefer. She is also plagued with sleepless nights, and combats them with sex, drink, and overwork during the third shift, pushing her body to pass out to force dreamless nights.

Temple Knight of Ishgard
Born in Little Ala Mhigo, grew up with the U Tribe in Forgotten Springs.Name does not follow typical Miqo'te conventions. Instead is was given by her Dalmascan father as a reminder of a home lost, and how he chose to forget his past life to raise a family in Eorzea.Lethe was orphaned at 11 when her parents died at the battle of Carteneau. The U Tribe raised her, but she left to strike it out on her own at age 16. She would find success with the Gladiators Guild and working with the Brass Blades. Eventually she would become a squire to one of the Sultansworn Paladins. Her journey would go north, to Ishgard after the Dragonsong war. Her master would perish there, and she began training under the Temple Knights. The frozen city would become her new home, and would become a Paladin of the Temple Knights herself, joining the 5th Combat Unit. During this time, she would find her faith with Halone, The Fury, as well as the soul stone of the Dark Knights.When the Ala Mhigan war for freedom took off, she was among the first to volunteer to join the detachment with the other Grand Companies. At the war's conclusion, she would also volunteer to fight for Bozja's freedom, seeing how it was right next to Dalmasca. In both wars, she was driven to see the lands of her parents freed from the Empire's rule. This would cost her dearly, however. By the end of both, she was beaten and body riddled with scars, especially on her limbs. Most of these do not bother her, save a few big ones with specific regretful memories. It is the trio on her face that bother her the most.

Hooks
Spent much of her time in Ul'Dah helping the Ala Mhigan refugees, giving what coin she did not need for her own survival to the more needy.Made a home in the Holy See, could be found training as a squire in days past, and in recent times has become a paladin and can be found on guard duty. Or found praying at the church.Fought in Ala Mhigo, when not on patrol or the front lines she would be dispatched to assist a few Red Mages in dealing with Voidsent that were looking to take advantage of the situation. She would later deploy to Ghmlyt under Ishgard's banner. When the bitter fighting there came to a close and the call to arms rose in Bozja, Lethe would again travel as one of Ishgard's representatives. There she would fight until the nation was freed, earning herself a set of Resistance Weapons and taking part in the final assault on the airship Dalriada.After the wars, she's been procuring supplies to open a bar in Empyreum, a long time dream of hers.
