-- Lissette de Isedaire --

Age: 30 • Veteran Adventurer • Business Owner

A warmhearted Elezen woman from Coerthas who won't hesitate to pour you a steaming hot cup of tea whilst sharing a story or two.Lissette is the current owner of 'The Lavish Brew', an old tea room located in Ishgard's West Colonnade. While the woman may outwardly appear as though she wouldn't hurt a fly, she is actually an accomplished adventurer registered under the guild and knows her way around a halberd.
Prior to her settling down in her homeland, she spent the last decade travelling across Eorzea and beyond -- helping citizens, felling dangerous beasts, and getting into the occasional tavern brawl.
When she isn't serving tea and biscuits, Lissette can be spotted training aspiring adventurers at the Firmament's guild hall or monitoring Ishgard's trade routes.


-- RP Hooks --

Feel free to ask about anything on this page!


BASIC HOOKS

✦ The Adventurers' Guild
From mundane chores that nobody wants to deal with to something that requires the use of a blade, Lissette is quick to lend her aid to those in need. Her days of meandering may be over, but she remains at the beck and call of the Adventurers' Guild and will travel wherever she is needed.
If your character is also an adventurer, perhaps...:
- They've teamed up with Lissette to tackle a guildleve or two in the past!
- They've helped mentor Lissette back when she was first starting out ten years ago.
- They've seen her loitering around various taverns across Eorzea.
If your character is looking to BECOME an adventurer...:
- Lissette can share some tips and give general advice. One may easily find her at any guild hall if their timing is right.
- They can just ask about it! She helps Haermaga recruit for the guild at the Moonfire Faire every year.


✦ Temporarily Gridanian
During the first chapter of her new life as an adventurer, Lissette chose to reside in Gridania. How an inexperienced youth managed to drag herself all the way there from Ishgard without being eaten alive is anyone's guess.
If your character is from Gridania or has visited long ago...:
- They may recall seeing her at some point asking around for work, or simply carrying out various odd jobs. She may have also pestered them at some point.
- Those belonging to the Lancers' Guild may recall a novice halberdier training amongst them for a short period.
- Those who have met her back then may recall her going by a different name at the time, 'Liz'.


✦ House Isedaire
This Coerthan family of minor nobility has most certainly seen better days.
In its prime, House Isedaire boasted of raising yak herds that provided them with premium meats, hides, wools, and dairy out in the Eastern Lowlands. However, their profits would come to a screeching halt after the Calamity had decimated their farmland and livestock, burying everything beneath layers of ice and snow. Many lives were also lost either during the trek to Ishgard during the freeze, or fending off the Dravanian horde. The large amount of medical and funeral fees eventually drained House Isedaire's coffers, leaving them with nearly nothing. The family is now broke, almost laughably so.


✦ The Lavish Brew
Many of Ishgard's citizenry recall this tea room being one of many locations to serve high-quality Ishgardian Tea within a relaxing atmosphere. However, following the Calamity, the building was suddenly abandoned and served little purpose other than housing vermin and being an overall eyesore to the Jeweled Crozier.
The mercantile guild petitioned to have the building torn down, until a new owner stepped up and took over. Now, 'The Lavish Brew' is back open to the public, with recent talks of expanding into an inn in the coming months.


✦ Ishgardian Restoration
While Lissette didn't play a significant role, she participated in the Firmament restoration effort for a short period. If your character is an artisan, they may have received supplies and materials from Lissette every now and then or have spotted her helping out during concerted works.
The woman may also make a sour face if you ask her about her time in the Diadem.

✦ Contact Information
IGN: Lissette Isedaire @ Balmung/Crystal
Bluesky: lissettetxt.bsky.social
✦ Availability
Be warned, it's currently a mess and I may suddenly disappear and reappear due to an erratic irl schedule. I will do my best to keep you informed.
HOWEVER. I can currently narrow it down to:
US Eastern Mornings (5am - 11am)
US Eastern Evenings (6-7pm onward).
✦ Writing Style
I can match with whoever I'm writing with, but I have a preference for semi-para RP.
Expect the occasional one-liner if we're somewhere crowded in-game, though. Good ol' chat scroll.
✦ AN IMPORTANT NOTE
I am not the fastest at typing, as my fingers have a habit of seizing up. It doesn't happen often, but I may take an extra minute to post. I request that you be patient with me and I apologise for the inconvenience.


RP RESTRICTIONS

-YES-

✦ Slice-of-Life
Entirely cool with me! While I'm always down for shenanigans, just hanging out and chatting is just as fun for me.
✦ Adventure/Combat
Where are we going!?
I am 100% down for this, though it's not exactly my strong suit. Do make me aware of any roll systems or if we're entirely winging it.
✦ Random Walk-ups

If you see me idling around in a RP hub, feel free to initiate! I don't mind in the slightest if I have the time for a quick scene.

✦ Dark/Mature Subject Matter
I'm generally pretty fine with writing it. Just give me a heads-up beforehand so I'm not taken by surprise!
✦ In-game RP
While Discord may be convenient, I would very much rather RP in-game if possible.

-NO-

✦ Minors IC & OOC
Characters and their writers must be at least 21+, regardless of the nature of the RP.
✦ Extreme Lore-Breaking
While XIV's lore at this point is expansive enough to make most ideas work, I may turn down RP if things are a little too off the wall to realistically fit.
✦ Overpowered Characters
Lissette is basically a background NPC. She has little reason to interact with someone who can throw hands with a god and be home on time for supper.
✦ ERP
Power to you if that's your thing, it's simply not mine! Do not approach me for RP if this is your goal. This isn't me being a puritan; it's just a boundary.
✦ Mare
I do not partake in the lunar launch codes. If that's automatically a dealbreaker for some reason, sorry!
✦ Don't be cringe, bro
OOC bigotry will not be tolerated at all! Get outta here.
