Laressia Hana'ai
Healer, Magitek Engineer, Scholar
Quiet, but earnest, this Miqo'te can be found working in either the Drunken Moogle's in house Clinic as a healer, or if you need something more technical, head to Ishgard where her workshop is located. She'd prefer her nickname Lars, and will happily info dump on anything magic or magitek related.
Laressia is a bit on the short side. about 5'0" or so, though she doesn't keep track. Her tail is a fluffy tipped one, and at times one could swear it was more vulpine than feline. Same goes for her ears.
She is always wearing glasses and if bare arms are visible, scars are noticeable ranging in size, depth and jaggedness.
Where to find?
Crystal Data Center, World Balmung
At the Drunken Moogle on Balmung
Her own workshop in Empyreum, Ward 27, plot 46
Hooks
Friends in high places
Lars has been seen frequenting the estate of one Lord Nivaar Swann. Rumor has it she is doing regular mechanic work for his Airship.
Word of Mouth
Word has spread through Ishgard about this engineer who takes commissions. Her work is very good while not being overly priced, and she's been known to work out price via trade of services (I.E. make her tools, alchemy supplies etc) if gil is an issue.
Daughter of a Sharlayan
Lars' mom was a well known Sharlayan scholar who studied the magic and technology cultures of Allag, Ampdapor, and Mhachi. It's quite possible if you have seen Hikara Hana'ai's picture, you will recognize Lars, as she looks very much like her mother.
Strange Aether
For those with Aethersight or Aethersense, her aether is aspected towards water and ice. Though she looks like a typical 22 year old healer, the density and strength of her Aether don't match the age. It feels of someone much older, and she as isn't as she appears to be.
