Biography
Originally from the West Shroud, Audrey lived a quiet life until the Calamity hit. Her parents taught her basic skills of weaving and botany, alongside the laws of the forest. Her father taught her all about what it meant to be a White Mage; from the meaning of the robes, to the Lilies they use in battle. Her mother a hunter, often assisting the Wood Wailers in there patrols. When they were called upon, her parents left for the Battle of Carteneau.Being only nineteen summers at the time Audrey was left behind, barely knowing the basics in magic and fighting. As the trees turned to ash around her, she tried to run towards the city for protection. In the overwhelming smog, Audrey lost her way, crashing into Lilyswim Lake. Pinned by fallen trees, she called out for help. Anyone who would have heard her was already a corpse. Staring up hopeless at the Blood Moon Dalamund, something within her changed...*"Menphina's..Loyal Hound.. Its so red. Someone, anyone, help me..."

Waking with a jolt, Audrey would find herself in strange clothes on a carriage headed to Gridania. How did she get here? Who was she? She could remember naught, save for the trauma of the Calamity.Four years had passed, and it seemed as though no one remembered the small family living many malms away...Except for, perhaps, one Viera who also lived in the Shroud, watching her now from afar...She would wander Gridania for a while before meeting a woman named June Charbonneau. They would later meet two others, Ancrene and Rokoko Telkoko.Shortly after they would all become wards of the Carbonneau house in Ishgard. There she would meet two very important people. A Viera who went by the name of Velvet, and a knight who would soon become her husband.The events that would transpire in the next four years would ultimately shape Audrey into the woman she is today.
Hooks
- White Mages, though exceedingly rare, are in fact revived in a small quantity thanks to the Padjal. Gridanians may recognize the white and red robes Audrey wears for work, or perhaps even her by face if they work in or alongside the Conjurer's Guild.- While a more recent development, Audrey has started to teach lessons to the young conjurers of Gridania, particulary a group of three children who have displayed an above average potential.- Ishgardian nobility love rumors and gossip just as much as they worship Halone. Those who were in Ishgard at the end of the Seventh Umbral Era up until the End of the Dragonsong War might have heard "scandalizing rumors" of a "lowley Hyur from the forest" marrying a "bastard Ishgardian Knight." Rumors quelled to only the occasional mention after his murder and her subsiquent departure from Ishgard.- A few moons ago there was a unsettling report that Elementals in the Deepwoods of the Twelvewood had become corrupted. The rumors only known to those in the Conjurer's Guild are that it was a White mage with a group of outsiders that cleanses the forest of this taint.
