Izzie: yes, her language generally I write as more "coarse" and "modern" compared to other in universe folks to reflect her messy upbringing and carefree image
Eira: actually almost never cusses lol, she was raised to speak properly or not speak at all 👀
#izzielore ; #eiralore
Izzie: Immediately melts, unfortunately for her
Eira: Does not usually accept it as any kind of worthwhile use of words unless it is from her long term partners (Raha and Estinien), and even then she still has her moments
#izzielore ; #eiralore
Izzie was raised in Thanalan in a traditional Dunesfolk merchant caravan! Her feelings for the land are complicated these days, but it undeniably made her into who she is today.
#izzielore ; #izziepics
Izzie fixates and then tries very hard to pretend she isn't by any means possible, usually by either:
-being a caustic creature in the direction of the perpetrator
-being weirdly and mysteriously helpful in the direction of the perpetrator
Sometimes at the same time...
#izzielore
Izzie was a traumatized teen and about as willing to comply with rules of etiquette as she was willing to kiss a dragon (alas).
Hilariously she marries into a noble house anyway, so joke's on her really... #izzielore
Important #izzielore update: Gosetsu teaches her SAM skills.
She's young and fearsome but I think he sees the innocent girl within her. She asks him to train her after seeing him fight -- and because he sees she is already set on the path of war, decides he will help.
Leofard and Hien are the big ones for Izzie. Izzie has a complicated relationship with regret but she doesn't love how things happened and ended with Leofard, especially. Huge missed signals on both sides.
Hien, they are still very good friends. Hien held a candle for a while tho. #izzielore
Izzie can be really mean and crude. Will hold a grudge to be petty. Will snap and unload on the exact people who are trying to help her. Will assume the worst faith interpretation most of the time. #izzielore
Izzie grew up in a traditional Dunesfolk merchant caravan that travels through Thanalan! I made it up from extrapolated lalafell lore hehe. #izzielore
Fiddling with radios or clockwork. Legos would have gone triple platinum with this girl if they were in Eorzea forreal. #izzielore
Which, of course, they had wanted and knew they would do the moment they finally got on the same page after 6 years of uncertainty. Classic them to basically just jump right into marriage lol.
They have a huge wedding in Sharlayan with many heads of state invited!!
#izzielore #izziphinaud
Izzie is a fresh 18 at the start of ARR! She's about 24-25 now as we move toward 8.0. #izzielore
I love Izzie being the younger WoL of two! I love making this young person go through the trials of Growing Up while Saving the World.
Also if they don't go back to Ilsabard for the political shenaniganry that surely is happening there I will make it happen don't worry 👍
#izzielore
As of DT, Izzie would be DRK/SCH/PCT!
Her jobs are a bit different like many trusts. She has colorful magic like a PCT but it functions more like BLM. And SCH is just because of the faerie tie...it probably looks more like WHM LOL.
In earlier expacs, her DPS would be BRD, MCH or MNK! #izzielore
Izzie and Alphinaud is complicated because he's like The Boy of the Game right. The whole game would be different? But if he never received his ARR Absolute Defeat... I'd have to think about that one lol
#izziphinaud ; #izzielore
Izzie and Jullus is the quintessential absolutely not LOL that's part of their beauty to me. Like maybe. But he had to lose everything first. That's a key part of it.
#izziejullus ; #izzielore
Sparrow's Harmony! Because she is my songbird girl. I also love The Seventh Dawn because dawn is one of her motifs. I don't think anyone calls her these things for real but she is referred to as a songbird often in canon.
The Song Upon the Wind is also an old favorite!!! #izzielore
Izzie is pretty body neutral. Growing up she didn't want to stand out and was aware that she did, but also was aware most people found her pleasing to look at. She doesn't like being looked at, but not out of discomfort with /herself/ so much as Being Known, which had consequences. #izzielore
Izzie desires nothing more than to be cherished. She wants to be delicate and dear, given special care and attention.
It is an ache she suppresses for years and years. She finally lets it be soothed by Alphinaud and then Jullus, because she trusts them enough with the notion. #izzielore
Izzie has all the preternatural beauty of a Viera that she attempted to smother for years in her youth. People look. She doesn't want people looking. Ma says it's dangerous. Someone might take her.
Now that she's grown into herself, she's truly striking and bright! #izzielore
Izzie meets Wuk Lamat and she's like "Wow...it's me from six years ago." Which is a complex feeling but one that drives her to want to help!
We ummmm 🤭 rewrote a little about how 7.0 goes, so Wuk Lamat leans heavily into the Celestials' presence. Izzie comes to really care for her. #izzielore
Izzie grew up in almost purposefully instilled financial precariousness. That is the life of an itinerant merchant in Thanalan. Her caravan family lived on the promise their fortunes might one day change...
Thus, Izzie is EXTREMELY SCRUPULOUS with gil! #izzielore
Izzie's first real crush actually is Alphinaud, though they don't do anything about this for 6 years. "18 years old discovering you have feelings" problems. They're married now!
However a lot of her "firsts" are with other people. #izzielore
The Izzie Mental Health Battle Spectrum = the closer she is to her enemies the worse off she is in the brain. There's a reason she went melee in HW-SHB after starting as a bard...
She's thus terrifyingly flexible in combat. I think she secretly prefers the rush of hand-to-hand, tho. #izzielore
Izzie plays a fiddle so seeing Alphinaud on a violin or something got me like 😭‼️
She could also happily be their huge drum person if they wanted lol.
#izzielore
Alphinaud wins at 6'6" LOL
Then Izzie at 5'10".
Then Jullus at 5'6". A FULL FOOT shorter than Alphinaud. #izziehusbands #izzielore
About six months after that, they are all in relationship, so I guess it worked out okay haha. #izzielore
While I am awful at anything about remembering shapes or spinning, Izzie wouldn't be. But I think she'd take any gaze mechanics as a challenge....
#izzielore
Idk if it counts, but Izzie is not Azem in most of her universes. She is Azem's Bestie, connected through space and time by the power of love!! #izzielore
Izzie's birth name is Iseirivine Monna-muruc (given name, village -- Prismshine).
Her name was shortened to Izzie when she was adopted (it was what her Ma understood out of her mouth) and Nenelori is her Lalafellin father's courtesy name! #izzielore
