Daughter to a woman with her heart rooted in the snow capped mountains hugging their home village, and to a man who longs for a life of unity, the small rabbit was thrust rather quickly into the traditions and teachings of the Lesrekta village. The Green Word, the code of ethics for their kind, was ingrained and taught to the members of their home, female and male. Her mother, Prima Leskrekta, lead the village’s hearth and defenses. She assisted in creating traps, maintaining proper training for their warriors, and developing defenses for their village boundaries, but also taught young rabbits to cook, clean, and maintain their village’s more domestic needs. She is a woman of many talents who passed these onto her daughter, a small Viera named Maja Lesrekta. Her jackrabbit of a father, Hartwig Lesrekta, was also a formidable foe. A silent killer, for the time the males come to their village to sow their seeds and to take the jackrabbits from their homes, he’s considered a rather fine example of the ideal Viera man.However, he did have a fatal flaw at the first sighting of his daughter- he craved to be a family man.His heart swelled three sizes that moon, the jack he was to take was long forgotten and his daughter now became the object of his affections. She was roughly four summers old when she first met him, and every few moons after that, her father whisked her away from her bedroom while the moon hung overhead. A hero from the mundane routines. Instead of saying her prayers by bedside, requesting the elders and ancients to bless her village, she packs a bag with nonessentials and her favorite stuffed wolf pup. He took her on adventures and escapades under the noses of their fellow villagers, and the scrutiny of her mother’s gaze. She learned to travel from branch to branch, exploring the canopies of trees and embracing the ground beneath her feet. The tug of her bowstring became second nature and the sights of the Skatay Range glimmered in her eyes. He would woefully deny the sights beyond the range, however. Othard was large and seeing its sights would take much longer than escaping for just a night.Maelie as a child was sworn to secrecy, having her father break tradition through a typically strict village was quite the crime, but after accidentally retelling her mother how she managed to gather a small handful of rare berries that grew on the far side of the range- the secret was revealed after an epoch of journeys with her father underneath the cloak of night.She was old enough to leave the village and old enough to understand what she did was quite wrong- the Lesrekta village heads and her own mother gathered, giving Maelie an ultimatum. She would either leave the village with her father, vowing not to return, or accept punishment and remain in the village, letting her father live in exile alone. The loyalty she felt towards her village and the women who raised her made her heart ache at the thought of abandoning them. Her mind told her to stay with those who could protect you. Yet, she followed her gut and left with her father a few moons after the ultimatum was presented.Eleven years old and Maja Lesrekta was no more, she was simply called Kanina by her father and any passerbys they crossed upon while traveling the entirety of Othard. He taught her to hunt properly, using the nature surrounding them to aid in their combat and their survivability. They scaled mountains, they wandered forests, and they had the map of Othard memorized beneath the soles of their feet. Their adventures took them from the Skatay Range, through to Doma, Yanxia, then the Steppe. She has fond memories of scouring the area of Namai and catching sight of Doma beneath the heel of the Garlean Empire. She remembers the sights of swimming through the shores of the Ruby Tide and visiting the volcanic rock of Hell’s Lid. She’s seen more sights than most of the rabbits in her village have combined, and while her heart aches for them, she takes to sketching out these places in a small sketchpad she carries with her. One day, she dreams of taking them back to her village and showing them the sights of their land in the east.Years would pass, and adulthood started growing on her as she became more of an equal to her father, rather than a pupil.However, during her travels along the One River by Doma, her father and her came across a turned over caravan being harrassed by strange voidsent, some appearing more machine than otherwise. The battle itself was far from difficult, but she found herself still breathless after meeting some of the precious cargo the caravan was escorting through Othard. They all seemed quite regal, all of them built differently and much taller than the Viera, Au Ra, or Hyur counterparts Maelie and her father had met throughout their travels. Instead, they were tall, thin, and their ears pointed towards the sky. She found herself face to face with a woman adorned in robes, hands gloved and eyes shimmering. She introduced herself as the daughter of a nobleman from Ishgard, a towering kingdom within the lands of Eorzea.Rather smitten by both the looks and upbringings of this mysterious princess, Maelie rather quickly grew to asking her all sorts of questions about this land called Eorzea. As a thank you for their swift rescue, Maelie and her father were offered passage to Kugane, where the caravan was originally headed, and a lump sum to get them to Eorzea comfortably and in style. Despite the monetary reward, Maelie was more attracted to the Elezen woman she met, and spent their travels to Kugane getting to know her.She even shared her own difficulties in finding a city name, something to separate herself from the forest name she left behind. The Elezen suggested Maelie, and so the name stuck.To this day, Maelie is rather unsure of the meaning to her name, but the words of the Elezen still ring in her ears; With someone of your looks, you only deserve the most regal of names- Maelie should suit you just fine, don’t you think?Once her father and her arrived at Kugane, they made the sail to Thavnair from Kugane, which from there they decided to sail to the Rothlyt Sound and use the cove nearby to sail into the Black Shroud, where their adventures in Eorzea were to begin. They had a plan of exploring Gridania, hiking through the Thanalan deserts, and even exploring the shores of La Noscea. All were exciting propositions, and Maelie even charted off a course that lead through the major cities, leaving them to stay in their respective inns as well.After some time of exploring Radz-At-Han, their ship sailed from Thavnair towards Eorzea with a group of merchants, adventurers, and anyone who wished to barder passage through the sea of Jade and the Sirensong sea. She took to doodling passengers and sharing stories with the adventurers she met on board the ship, many of wish were searching towards Eorzea for a better life, or for new opportunities for their specific trades. She even met a sweet hyur who promised to send her letters through the infamous moogle mail- a strange concept, but one she was excited to experience while staying in Eorzea. Their hearts were joyful and their excitement was at a high, but after passing The Crown and nearing Rothlyt Sound, their ship was interrupted and boarded by a small fleet of ships made with metal and magitek, a Garlean fleet, she remembers a child crying out.With the sound of blades and skin being sliced apart, the adventurers atop the ship brought up arms as best as they could against the Garleans, but were ultimately defeated. The remaining survivors were taken from their ship and brought to Gyr Abania, where the current viceroy of Ala Mhigo claimed them to be prisoners of war, taking use of their adventurer statuses to be used for other means. Her father, a strong man who held the promise of a hard worker, was sentenced to work as a gatherer, mining minerals and assisting in the construction for various magitek pieces. While Maelie, after biting one of the Garlean officers and getting a swift smack in the face for it, was made a servant for the acting leader of Castellum Velodyna in The Fringes.From then on, she never saw her father again.[ tw ; brief mentions of noncon / rape ]Although, with a pride too strong, she certainly made him proud. She often fought back and spat at her captors, denying to do their work as tasks were made apparent to her. It was during this time she was given a hit to her left shoulder blade that still remains as a scar to this day, and many other scars that still bare the promise of fading away in due time. She remembers their words, their tugging at her ears, and the wounds they inflicted so. They took from her what she sought to protect- her dignity. Many nights she was subject to their carnal pleasures, praising her exotic and savage nature. Mayhaps the metal of their armor or the heat of their skin left imprints along her body, but nothing compares to the only connection to her father she had being torn from her. She remembers so clearly how her bow from her father was forced from her and torn to shreds- the tattered remains were thrown into the Velodyna River by the Castellum. All piss poor memories that make her seethe at the thought.[ tw end ]After some time of being held captive, herself and a few others were scouring the river’s edge near the East End and Castrum Oriens in search for materials and gathering supplies they were tasked with getting. The Garlean who was tasked to watch over them was ransacked soon by Gridanian troops, granting the freedom of Maelie and the others with her. A chance at freedom, they were brought to Gridania and while others ran to their families and friends, she was left truly alone. There was nowhere for her to call home, and she was unsure of the friends she made along the way even being there for her to call. Given temporary refuge within The Roost, she was offered a position within the Company ranks, and even some assistance from the residents of Gridania, towards her travels- however, the only person she knew was alive and somewhere in Eorzea, was the noblewoman from Ishgard she met years ago.Maelie accepted the assistance of some residents, taking residence within the Gridanian Archer’s guild and assisting them with their tasks. She made her keep for some time, but once the liberation of Ala Mhigo was officially announced and the war of the Alliance versus Garlemald begun, she took to packing up what little belongings she was left with, and set out on an adventure to live the life her father would have wanted her to. A life full of adventure.The life full of adventure though, was something she truly did not expect to go to these lengths. From landing herself in the Quicksands night after night, looking for jobs or for menial tasks to do to keep herself afloat, she managed to meet a man named Leonceault Xavalien. An Elezen with good charms and looks that remind her of the caravan she once saved, she fell smitten rather quickly. Though, the approach and unity was a slowroll, but gladly, the man who put down the axe and left Ishgard was a patient man.Through tribulations, the two grew closer together and eventually her budding anxieties were broken to. She saved him from attacks, and he in turn worked with her to save her from herself. They've traveled together, lain together, and even steadily worked towards their skills together. (As he repicked up the axe after some time, assisting her in learning how to properly wield it.Trouble in paradise, however, begun with the involvement of the Vontine estate. After much disagreement, attempts to overtake the Xavalien heir in order to grow the estate, Maelie found herself wedged between the war and affairs of nobles. Not only did she manage to find herself beaten and meddling in the business of something more sinister, but it lead her to being trapped within Norvrandt for months until her escape lead her to discovering something very wrong with her. At first she was claimed to be insane, to be dreaming of visiting this place and would act aggressively for no reason, but her story was slowly pieced together with the assistance of new friends who helped her discover the piece of her soul that lingered in the first.This woman was a Viera like her, but her origins lie within the Church of the First Light. She was discovered by their leader one day in Lakeland, nearly being attacked by one of the monsters that roam there. The girl held no name aside from The Chosen, and it was clear from the start the leader of such a church only had bad intentions for her and the light crystal she managed to receive one day after a brave act.The girl was what they entitled a Warrior of Light, someone who was theorized to protect the world and the church idealized her till the very end, and each inch of that idolization hit Maelie hard when she ventured through Lakeland for the first time and visited various locations throughout.After some more conflict between them and alongside a poisoning attempt that occurred within the Quicksands, (honestly, one of her more embarrassing moments, a rogue Lalafell doctor came to her rescue, but not without the lingering doubt of insanity eating away at the back of her mind,) Maelie found herself truly living the adventurous experience her father probably didn't expect for her.Now, we catch up to present day, where the union between the newly reinstated Xavalien heir and a viera named Maelie rushed through Ishgard, though, with the rebuilding of the Firmament and with distractions like Leonceault getting back into music and performing, they still have yet to sanctify their marriage with a ceremony and Maelie has been seen alone quite- too often.The tension in their relationship was a strain Maelie didn't expect to linger within her heart like this. Being her first relationship, her first marriage- it was only natural she would experience her first hardships in love with Leonceault as well. Their busied schedules and lack of contact threw her towards a vice she promised herself not to embrace, but the lip of an alcohol bottle and the burn of the liquid running down her throat felt too tempting. So, liquid courage in her veins and her frustrations baring through gritted teeth, she made mistakes.At first, it was simply entertaining the idea of possibly leaving Leonceault and ending things plagued the back of her mind, as if shadows crept along the bright light that is her over-engorged aether. Then the temptations became emotional waterfalls, a pouring of her sadness into the hands that was a close friend. In the pursuit of comfort, another mistake occurred that day as soon as her lips hit that of one she adamantly insists is a friend. Her first love, her first marriage, her first heartbreak, and her first taste of a concept called cheating.Not only did the guilt of kissing someone else come over her, but the fragility of her heart was struck after overhearing Leonceault's parents. Two of nobility, great heads to their family with incredible standing in Ishgard, regarded her as a fleeting fancy, as a woman who wouldn't be able to follow him as he furthered into nobility and became the Xavalien family head. It was shocking, especially after nights of graciousness and kindness reflecting in his father's eyes, it was more than a heartbreak, but a betrayal. So she left, hiding out in the Hourglass inn and roaming Ul'dah, finding jobs to spend her time and keep her mind off of these thoughts.Finding her after weeks, Leonceault seemed to finally catch up with what occurred and out of the guilt in her heart, she confessed that she had been with another. Furious and upset, it was his turn to disappear without a trace and for her to only find out a week later that he had abandoned his family. Given the task to find him, Leonceault's brother Alexois demanded his safety and even went as far as to reveal to her the bond created between the brothers by their mother- one of which Maelie still lingers in confusion over.

Yet, after reuniting, things have seemingly changed, haven't they? The guilt of navigating this strange world of love has only motivated her further, it helped her explore the possibilities of sharing her heart- and it has grown into such a rift between herself and the first love she clings to. Despite it- she had finally discovered the love she shared for others could be spread amongst more. It felt natural, wonderful, to finally discover she feels comfortable with a state of polyamorous relationship. While she still clings to that first love while discovering her passions with others, there is still that lingering mystery. There's still a blossoming aether within her that she was cursed with in this world.While navigating her life, Maelie has gotten a name for herself as a fighter within taverns, a brawler in the sands, and someone who has made connections in this life. No longer considered much of a wallflower, it's made her predicament more known and has prompted her to search for answers. a close comrade found in a rabbit named Campion, they began the search to discover what is holding her back- and found a bigger mystery than they anticipated. A seal, one located at her chest, (now cracked from their meddling,) holds her and her shard's aether at bay. With a rupture in its hold, she does have access to tap into her own aether now, but with the lack of control and the nature of it- it leaks. She is a faucet that cannot truly seal itself, which only lead to Maelie seeking more drastic measures and answers.After a successful mission in liberating a Garlean brothel located in Kugane, something switched once more in the Viera's mind and suddenly, she found herself not only torturing a captive garlean captain, but murdering in the man in the forests of the skatay range. A terrifying feat for those outward looking in, a decision that did not sit well with Maelie's shard- a woman who shared a mind with her reflection. The vii from the first named mia shared a body with maelie, but retained her own consciousness within the veena. It caused for conflict, for a terrifying butting of heads. With Maelie's relinquishing her code of ethics and navigating away from what mia believed to be Maelie's true purpose- the shard had made Maelie's life a living hell within her own mind.With a desire to connect with her shard, Maelie tried to make amends, attempted to strike an accord- but these attempts failed and her voice was taken from her for a brief moment in time. Frustration mounting, our Viera friend went to regretful lengths to try and connect further with this shard, and instead summoned mia into this world. However, summoning her lead to something worse- and so the cardinal virtue, heneka, was brought into this world. Sprouting fanatical conspiracies and threats, Heneka had decided to take Maelie's aether for her own and replace her in this world. All from Maelie's conscious decision to take vengeance into her own hands. Before things could get too far, it seemed that Maelie had the strength to call friends to help save her from this Cardinal Virtue- but it left her with more scars and now a visible seal on her chest. Now, with more questions than answers for the overworked Veena, maybe it's a good time for the Viera to take a break for a day or two.

a secret has bene discovered! below is classified information, and at this point in time, maelie is aware of the details of what has occured and what this section entails. more discoveries are being made but please heed the warning- there are triggers involving nonconsensual surgeries and experimentation.

Upon the repurposing of Castellum Velodyna, once a great imperial fortification for supplies and military connections, there were countless of discoveries and looks into what made Castellum Velodyna so formidable prior to the efforts made to take over the Castellum time ago. Amongst those discoveries were not only raw materials and supplies that showed glimpses into how the Garlean forces created their armor, magiteks, and kept a flow of productivity between their locales, but also into the deep confines of the rooms that were not meant for only supplies and airship connections.While not a shock, knowing the behavior of the legion, many files and reports were discovered amongst the boxes of forgotten supplies. Some were shipment reports, airship logs, and even records of how many gunblades were given out to soldiers at their frontline in that given day- but there were a few files that were, surprisingly, of the captives that were taken to their temporary home in Castellum Velodyna. It was said in these reports that this temporary home would be fit to work them to the bone, before transferring them off to different reaches of Eorzea to where the Empire deemed fit. One of the files was a collection labeled Maja.The file contains a collection of records, medical information, studies, and a detailed outline of multiple surgeries that were carried out on the owner of this file. While no identifying photos, (aside from a collection of photos showing scars and wounds against the body of a woman,) could shed glimpses into who this was, it was clear that there was quite a number of procedures done to her. Some of which included sterilization, repairing of of torn muscle, and even assisting with adding a splint to her leg- the worst of all, however, is a strangely cut off page.The page prior introduces the theory of taking the resonant project and turning the concept of super soldiers into something that takes a participant away from their sense of morality and cautious nature. It discusses the concept of survival, and how the basic instincts can be rewritten to create a machine of flesh and blood, one that takes and takes, until nothing else can be taken but themselves. While these theories are just discussed, the following page is snipped in half, but shows the results of the subject, Maja, and following her name are the words inconclusive and unstable.While the bottom half of the page is missing, the top half of the page's reverse side sheds a bit more light on the possible experiment on Maja and the threat that looms if, for some reason, it is discovered that she was the unfortunate subject of something that could have been far more sinister if not for the intervention of Gridanian troops and the Ala Mhigan Resistance.

my twitter has so many screenshots of her as well, in case this wasnt enough. lol.
