Unfortunately - even though she was born several decades before him - because of the gap between her own death and subsequent resurrection, Peregrina’s body is dozens of years younger than Gaius’s.
It’s a reality she is painfully aware of, and one Gaius even used to try and convince…
#perelore
This is a very challenging and delicate question for Peregrina. In her first life, she dedicated every breath to rising through the ranks of the military and then becoming the best legatus possible, and in that role she brought Landis into the fold of the Empire with a...
#perelore #ffxiv #garlean
Peregrina had a healthy and happy relationship with her parents her whole life and they were very proud of her. But following her defection and subsequent capture and imprisonment she never saw them again, so she has no idea how they felt about what she’d done, though she knew…
#perelore
Peregrina straight up falls in love with Ardbert, though I would not say that she ever flirted with/hit on him. She is far too scared of intimacy for that but his steady, kind, and gentle presence as she was *going through it* made her feel safe for the first time since her resurrection.
#perelore
Legatus Era: Standing, her back pressed to a wall and a leg up around her lover's waist, Solus so far gone that he can't even form words as he takes her. She loves getting to watch his face as he comes undone - undoing him undoes her.
WoL Era: Straddling her partner's lap, where they...
#perelore
As WoL, Peregrina absolutely is not. Her past history with Solus has left unimaginable scars on her and she puts guardrails up against everyone. Peregrina as WoL is terrified of both emotional and physical intimacy, afraid that anyone who gets too close to her will find the truth of...
#perelore
Varis telling her that Solus zos Galvus was actually the Ascian Emet-Selch, and worse that he was still alive.
Far too soon after, seeing the proof of it when he confronts her in the Crystarium. It takes a *lot* to make a trained soldier drop her weapon.
#perelore #ffxiv
Peregrina absolutely joins her country’s military and becomes a career soldier. At heart that’s where she feels like she most belongs and so long as nobody is trying to get her to commit (what she would perceive as) war crimes, she’d continue her service until retirement.
#perelore
Dead, her soul being tended to and gently scrubbed clean in the Aetherial Sea.
And she would very happy about that fact.
#perelore
Yes. A part of Peregrina will always resent her resurrection.
After she returns from Ultima Thule, she is done. She refuses to go to Tural.
The rest of her years are going to be spent at home, in Garlemald, rebuilding the city she never stopped loving even when it stopped loving her.
#perelore
Every since the Black Wolf told his Emperor that, crazy as it sounds, after his run in with Eorzea's new Warrior of Light he couldn't stop thinking about how she looks an *awful* lot like the traitor legatus Peregrina viator Ectorius, well...
Solus had to find out for himself.
#perelore
Peregrina. Elidibus eventually decided she was distracting Emet too much and freed her from imprisonment through a little magickal and incurable illness.
But Hydaelyn saw fit to bring her back to life, and then it was Peregrina that slew Emet and Elidibus both.
Too bad it broke her.
#perelore
It depends very much on the Scion. Despite thinking that she would be safer to keep them at arm's length, Peregrina does wind up getting close to many of them.
Alisaie and Alphinaud are both something of her "next-gen" G'intana's. Not intentionally, but they are much younger than...
#perelore
Post Emet, they are speculating on why the WoD skipped the party/was seen being carried through the Crystarium by Thancred and oddly, not to the chirurgeon but to the Pendants. Then they wonder why she hasn’t been seen in weeks/seems to have gone missing and the rumors spiral.
#perelore
Peregrina would have laughed at the concept when she was younger, but after finding herself unable to break free of her feelings for Solus even after everything he’d done to her the potential became, horrifyingly, more likely.
After Emet finally told her the truth of everything at the…
#perelore
Peregrina’s personality is a carbon copy of Mnemosyne’s. It’s part of what makes her so enthralling and frustrating to Emet and why he sometimes struggles to see Peregrina as separate from her ancient.
It is also why Peregrina’s punishment is so harsh: it’s Emet punishing both of them.
#perelore
At the very worst of her imprisonment, Peregrina was emaciated and dehydrated, so weak she was basically wheelchair bound. Her hair was thinning and what’s left a rat’s nest, her eyes sunken and skin mottled with bruises.
Looking at her from an outside perspective would…
#perelore
In her first life, Peregrina was a minx. She'd give that smirk that said something wicked was coming and near constantly run her mouth with dirty talk because she loved the reaction it got. She was not shy and did not hold back her pleasure or lack thereof.
In her second life, when...
#perelore
Peregrina would have when she was first resurrected had she 1) known how and 2) not been so horrified by the fact she could now use magick.
Instead she hid her third eye the old fashioned way, beneath hoods and circlets and bangs, which worked fine… until it didn’t.
#perelore
Peregrina broke her wrist when she was attacked by one of the guards sent to deliver a chair to her cell. She’d “earned” the chair through good behavior and the man was incensed he needed endure the insult of doing anything kind for the traitor, so he tried to take that insult out…
#perelore
OMG thank you so much! That’s so kind, I could cry. If you ever want to know about Peregrina I will talk your ear off, and what lore I have on here is tagged #perelore.
❤️❤️
She was once his legatus and his lover, but the good times did not last.
At the very end of Peregrina’s journey, she and Gaius have a child. Being a mother had never been a goal of hers necessarily, but following EW she finally had enough peace to explore this aspect of life.
Gaius is initially like… Peregrina I am in my sixties and you think I should…
#perelore
Solus: Teenage Peregrina would be like "The Emperor? That's amazing. But... you didn't make us Empress, did you? That would be gross."
Gaius: Teenage Peregrina just looks at him and then grins. She's pleased with this tall, handsome specimen of a Garlean. "And he's a legatus? Awesome."
#perelore
She sure has. And it ended in her imprisonment and death, so… badly.
Peregrina does not ever fully heal from her trauma and meeting Emet again in ShB gouges open very ragged wounds, but their last hours spent together before she kills him do help smooth some of those awful, jagged edges.
#perelore
Peregrina would (metaphorically) grab Mnemosyne by the throat and demand the Ancient tell of all that happened between her and Hades.
She heard Emet’s side when they were alone in the Tempest but she’s never been sure how much was true and how much was twisted by pain. She has to know.
#perelore
Emet-Selch.
I 100% made a character just to do freaky things with him, then she slowly but surely started developing more and more.
Peregrina was initially conceived as simply a part of his past, but then brain went “How could also be WoL?” and now here we are - this woman has my heart.
#perelore
Peregrina had an official position of power once, legatus, and it was the happiest time in either of her lives. She earned that position and thrived in it, turning Landis into one of the most successful provinces ever had in the empire.
She misses that version of herself so much.
#perelore
Her third eye gives away her heritage even if it doesn’t serve as unequivocal proof she was actually born in Garlemald, though she was.
Regardless of its sins, she loves her homeland deeply and post EW dedicates her life to helping rebuild it. Healing Garlemald heals something in her.
#perelore
That she really is a saucy little thing when she’s feeling spicy and her favorite things to do is tease and play coy. I never much get to play with this side of her because her abuse at Solus’s hands erased all her desire for such intimacy but I like to think she gets back there someday.
