V’ola Tiyal is a former corsair turned traveling merchant with a taste for danger and indulgence. She chose the open seas over a quiet life, her raw magic and quick wit winning her a place aboard pirate crews raiding Garlean convoys. Years at sea honed her swordplay and spellcraft, as well as her knack for spotting profit where others saw only risk. With the Empire’s fall drying up easy plunder, she leveraged her contacts and sea knowledge to establish herself as a merchant aboard The Scarlet Fortuna. She carries herself with the charm of a gambler, the sharp tongue of a sailor, and the volatile spark of a spellcaster who can dazzle or devastate with equal ease.


About


"Beauty, like fire, can both dazzle and devour."



Appearance:
V'ola has the sun-weathered skin of someone who's spent most of her life at sea, and she carries herself with easy confidence. Auburn hair frames a sharp face, and her mismatched eyes, one blue and one green, take in everything around her. Fangs show when she grins. Her feline ears and tail tend to betray whatever she's trying to hide. She favors form-fitting clothes, practical for someone who works deck and trade hall in equal measure, and her hands are calloused from rope and craftwork. She moves with the easy balance of a sailor. A salt-stained rapier and focus crystal at her hip mark her as a red mage, and anyone with magical sense can feel the power off her.
Background:
Born in Limsa and pulled toward the sea early, V'ola left land for the freedom of open water. A pirate crew picked her up, drawn to her reckless courage and rough sorcery. The lawless life suited her. Raiding Garlean convoys paid well, and the coin came in fast enough that she picked up expensive habits in fine rum and high-stakes gambling, with crewmates happy to indulge her. Years at sea sharpened her swordplay and spellcraft, and a former merchant aboard taught her trade routes and cargo values. When the Empire fell and easy targets dried up, the crew split. Rather than wait out the lean years, V'ola used her contacts and sea knowledge to buy her own ship, The Scarlet Fortuna, and now funds her vices through legitimate trade instead of plunder.
Occupation:
V'ola works as a traveling merchant aboard The Scarlet Fortuna, leaning on old corsair contacts and natural charm to find deals others miss. She has a knack for showing up at the right port at the right time and talking her way into a profit. She can't plan further than the next voyage, though, and most of what she earns at one harbor goes to gambling tables or rum bottles by the next. She'll sail hostile waters for a quick score, and her eye for valuable cargo keeps her afloat. The Scarlet Fortuna doubles as her workshop, giving her the same freedom that first pulled her away from shore.
Abilities:
V'ola has the build of a working sailor, helped along by Miqo'te agility. Her sea legs translate to solid balance on any unsteady ground, whether that's rigging or a tense negotiation. Her red mage talents focus on fire and ice, and she fights with sword and spell together, her rapier carrying elemental charge through each strike. Boarding actions taught her to fight in tight quarters on shifting footing, so her swordwork stays fluid where others would lose form. Her fencing favors speed and precision over force, using reach to control distance while she weaves spells between cuts. Her self-taught casting style produces combinations few opponents see coming. She has an unusually deep aether reserve that lets her keep casting longer than most, and she knows enough healing magic to patch up shipboard injuries.
Personality:
V'ola has natural charisma and genuinely likes people, though her temper breaks through whatever face she's putting on. She's blunt and direct by default, with no patience for pretense unless it serves her. Her moods shift fast, swinging from calm calculation to flirtation to playful excitement depending on what's caught her interest. At core, she wants freedom, autonomy, and intense experience, whether that comes from a fight, a bottle, or a profitable run through dangerous waters. She's hard to predict because she rarely behaves the same way twice in similar situations.
Voice:
Her speech carries a subtle purr, especially when she's excited or flirting, wrapped in a rough Limsan dock accent. She switches between sailor's slang and precise magical terms depending on who she's talking to, and she swears freely when the mood takes her.
Weaknesses:
V'ola drinks heavily, a habit from her corsair days, and gambles compulsively enough to empty her merchant profits on a regular basis. She also has a strong appetite for physical intimacy that tends to cloud her judgment in business and personal matters alike. Years of pirate life left her unable to respect most authority figures, and she defaults to suspicion or open defiance, with Chief Admiral Merlwyb Bloefhiswyn the only exception. Her swordwork is refined and disciplined, but her magic is not. Self-taught and unpredictable, her spells often hit harder than intended or manifest in ways she didn't plan, putting allies and property at risk. Her path from sailor to pirate to merchant also left her with no preparation for formal settings, so she fumbles through high society and anything diplomatic.


The Scarlet Fortuna


"Red sails, bold hearts, wild fortune."


Overview:
The Scarlet Fortuna is a heavily modified 120-fulm Lominsan brigantine built on the salvaged framing of a Garlean escort corvette, rebuilt so extensively that the original hull is more sentiment than structure. Her reinforced ironwood frame supports twin masts, square-rigged on the foremast and fore-and-aft on the main, and her blood-red mainsail bears V'ola's personal sigil, a white trident. The original Garlean gray has been repainted in layers of deep crimson lacquer mixed with crushed shell for durability. Brass fittings throughout, including cleats, rail caps, compass housing, and stern scrollwork, polish up bright against the dark hull and signal her merchant success. Battle scars from her corsair days remain unrepaired: parallel gouges along the starboard bow from a Garlean ram, patched cannonball holes plugged with ironwood, and charred timber around the mainmast base from a boarding-action firebomb. The fresh brass nameplate and figurehead make the older damage stand out. She draws only 8 fulms loaded, letting her into shallow ports larger vessels can't reach. The figurehead is a hunched vulture in crimson lacquer, wings half-mantled against the bow, a scrap of torn Garlean banner clutched in its beak.
Workshop & Cargo:
The converted gun deck houses a full workshop with metalworking forge, carpentry station, and tool storage for ship maintenance and cargo modification. Specialized holds maintain precise humidity and temperature through crystal ventilation systems. Hidden compartments behind false bulkheads and deck plates total 200 cubic fulms of concealed storage, a volume discrepancy V'ola takes pains to keep her vessel out of any port whose customs officials might think to measure.
Armament:
Most of the original gun deck was given over to workshop space, but the Scarlet Fortuna kept enough teeth to discourage trouble. Four swivel guns mount along the rails for close work, and a pair of bow chasers handle pursuit and warning shots. She isn't built for a prolonged firefight. V'ola's doctrine is to run when she can and board when she can't, and a red mage in the boarding party tends to settle matters quickly.
Performance Specifications:
The twin-masted rig pushes 15 knots in favorable winds. In calm air she falls back on an aether-driven screw fed from her ceruleum reservoir, holding a steady 5 knots through dead water long enough to find weather again. Range runs 2,000 nautical malms fully provisioned. Crew complement is a lean 6 to 8, well below what a brigantine her size would normally demand, made possible by salvaged Garlean magitek woven through the rigging. Aether-driven capstans handle the heavy lifting of anchor and yards, self-trimming blocks adjust the sails to wind shifts through linked crystal relays, and the helm couples directly to the rudder assembly so a single hand can hold course while the rig works itself. The system is built for short solo runs in coastal waters, drawing on a small ceruleum reservoir kept below the workshop deck, enough for roughly three days of single-handed sailing before requiring a full crew or resupply. Water capacity is 600 gallons across multiple tanks. The shallow draft and reinforced keel allow beaching for emergency repairs or discreet cargo transfers.
Navigation & Communication:
An aetheryte compass handles precise positioning, and a restricted linkpearl network connects her to select port authorities and contacts. Emergency flares include conventional and magically enhanced varieties visible past 50 nautical malms.
