Most of the time it's nightmares :( About the people she lost, regrets she carries. She dreams of Hermes a lot too, and it hurts.
But sometimes she dreams of wheat fields and grazing sheep, and it's like her very soul is being hugged. She likes these dreams.

Happy Iola day~💐💕
Since today is Iola's nameday, I'll showcase her canon outfits and talk about them! 🧵
#iolascorner
*Note: some alt text will have extra info about the outfits.
These are mine! Dio&Agatha will get updated eventually ^^;
#iolascorner
Iola is a trained apothecary, and can mend smaller wounds without magic.
She has a big reserve of aether & prefers to use spells, but sometimes esuna alone doesn't cut it lol
#iolascorner
A quick doodle of Iola and Meteoin made with acrylic pens. Various doodles of ff14 creatures surround them.
Now that i think about it this doodle was the only time i drew humanoid Meteoin and Iola together.
#iolascorner
Screenshot of Iola wearing the humble overalls.
Another screenshot, now with a different pose to show the front part better.
The trend made me curious 🤷
Not her style or color, but the top part does look kinda cute...
#iolascorner
Meteoin watches her mom, ofc! :D She in the crowd for Black Cat (w Raha!), but watches the rest on TV instead (too many people + emotions + Honey's keyfabe worried Iola).
Speaking of keyfabe, Meteoin was not allowed to watch Vamp LMAO Instead had a nice day with Shale and Gulool Ja.
#iolascorner
Meet:
Agatha (adoptive mom). A distrustful ishgardian woman who lives alone in the depths of the Black Shroud. Works as an apothecary.
Lho (birth mom). A proud huntress from the Elahka clan, who lives in the border that divides the Black Shroud and Coerthas.
#iolascorner
Ok that post inspired me so ship talk time!! #iolascorner
idk if any of Iola's ships count as exes..... But Iola would never had opened up and made real friends without Ardbert's influence. Losing him brought her close to Cyella & Giott, and turned Crystarium into her one real home.
Doing everyone bc why not! #iolascorner
Agatha&Iola: no emojis, fully written sentences with the correct punctuation. Latelly Iola has been sending these 'Good Morning' sparkly gifs lmao
Cemi writes as little as possible. "K", "c u", "xx".
Tajih's texts are overly cutesy. "Good morning! ☺️💖🖐️"
Iola doesn't play any instrument, but if she did it would probably be the harp. Since that's taken... Maybe celesta?
#iolascorner
Guess it's time to retake this!
Not the actual first "picture" of Iola, but the first "gpose", with her as the focus. Gpose as an actual in-game feature would come out a month after :>
2016 vs 2020 vs 2025
Hopefully I can complete the set in 2030!
#iolascorner
A sketch of Iola (miqo'te, left) and Torunn (au ra, right), loosely inspired by the artstyle common in visual novels in the 2000s. Complete with anime girl white dress and oversized head ribbon!
The new LN: "Send help a client asked for a 00s-style anime sketch and now I only want to draw in this style (ft. ToruIola)".
#iolascorner #BRart
FF14 screenshot of my WoL, Iola, photographing the Wind-Up Zero minion. Zero poses holding her little hat. Iola sits on a chair in front of her, while smiling and holding up a polaroid camera.
Another screenshot, showing the same scene from before in a different angle. Now Zero is in front view (closer to how Iola's photo would have looked like), and Iola has her back to the viewer.
These screenshots make me happy so you get to see them too.
#iolascorner
Yes, actually!
Before leaving, she saw a pair: a miqo'te that kinda looked like her (her mother, Lho); and an elezen with kind grey eyes (Agatha's husband, Yvelont). They both smiled at her from afar before disappearing into the light again.
She has no idea who these people were.
#iolascorner
Not a surprising answer, she was named after the Iolite LOL So ofc she'd become one!
#iolascorner
Iola takes extra care of her weapon, since she can't reliably channel magic without it, but is wayyy more lenient with her robes/armor.
It's all because of trauma✨ (her wand broke at the very start of her journey and she almost died for it).
#iolascorner
SIGHHH
Yes................... She'd dress it up too............ Tie a little bow on its head.........
#iolascorner
Not sure how accurate these heights are?? But ye.
Behold, all of Iola's wolships:
#iolascorner #notart
Somewhat often!
She has 5(+1) canon hairstyles, and a bunch of other hairstyles I'll put on her for funsies.
#iolascorner
A chibi-style drawing of Iola (center) and her sisters (Left: Cemi; Right: Tajih). They smile and chat while walking, Iola hugging them both.
Thank you @dreamerbee.bsky.social for drawing the sisters!
They make me smile every time i see them 🥺💕
#iolascorner #notmyart
Oh, I love this!!
#iolascorner
Kitri top acquired :D
#iolascorner
Sepia-toned screenshot of Iola posed like a ballerina. Only her long white skirt and her feet can be seen. She wears shoes similar to pointé shoes, and her pose resembles the forth position. If you squint. I think. I'm not a dancer.
Screenshot of Iola on the same outfit, but now only her top half can be seen. She wears a beautiful tutu-like dress... And a frog head.
1st picture looks so serious, but it's just Frogolinna cosplaying as act 2 Giselle LMAO
#iolascorner
A chibi-style drawing by Nyan. Torunn (an au ra with pink hair and brown skin) lays on a moogle floatie. She rests her head on her hand and smirks. Iola (a light-skinned miqo'te with purple hair) sits on a red chocobo floatie, holding a drink and smiling.
GUYS GUYS LOOK 🥺 Nyan went above and beyond these are sooo cute!

Screenshot of Iola, my miqo'te from FF14. She holds the Wind-Up Ardbert minion. Her hair blows in the wind, together with pink petals that surround her.
Another screenshot of Iola, this time alone. She smiles playfully while pointing at her own face.
Oh no I'm in love TT
#iolascorner
Crystarium (specifically in The Wandering Stairs)!
Flower themed gathering, everything full of color and life. She'd ask the pixies to help with decorating. Cyella would be the first one to agree to the idea, so she can get a boost in customers (and maybe a new waitress, finally).
#iolascorner
Iola: a quest marker
Tajih: expensive tea she never tried before
Cemi: she'd jump in for funsies, so i'd just give her cake or something sweet to make her happy LMAO
Bonus!
Wind-up: Her dad
#iolascorner
Iola would be a lyricist i think?? I struggle to see her on stage lol'
As for her sisters... Cemi would be a drummer. Tajih would start as a bassist bc shy, but eventually get peer-pressured into her actual role: singer.
#iolascorner
Iola actively avoids that LOL
Having that sort of position means being tied to a specific place. She was born to wander.
