Personality

Shy by nature: Josianne is clearly not the heart of the party. Quiet and reserved for the most part, she still works on trying to open herself a bit more to people.Sheltered life: Living most of her life under the tight protection of her father, she has little clue on how the world works and is overwhelmingly enthusiast about any little things she finds interesting. Yet, her innocent nature can sometimes make her seem very naïve.A deep scar: The loss of her father left a void in the Xavalier's home. Ceciliette refuses to look at her husbands painting and stays away from the house as much as possible, leaving Josie by herself in the company of her servants. While the young woman also misses the presence of her father deeply, Josie took a different approach to her loss and instead, tries to continue her father's work. She found a source of comfort in looking at his old sketches, like finding a new way to connect to the man without having access to his physical presence. Although, she tries her best to reproduce some of the sketches on her own, her drawing and painting skills are way bellow the man's talent by far.


Likes: Adventures, sensitive to arts, novelties, playing music, fashion, painting, flowers, crafting, memories of her father, drinking tea.Dislikes: Lies, condescending people, arguing with her mother, being underestimated, bad-mouthing.


Features


Notable Features:
Elegantly dressed: Usually wearing one of her long gowns or a chic attire even in casual situations.
Carries her father's sketchbook: She travels around with it, remembering the times he used to sit under the gazebo, sketching the flowers of their garden with a cup of tea in hand while Josie was playing nearby. She keeps those memories close to her heart and intends to continue his work by adding sketches of her own.

Relationships

Kohran: Having tasted the judgement of the other nobles in the past, Josie can't help but feel sympathy for Kohran who is also labelled as an oddball by her peers. The woman has shown her kindness by sharing some of her snacks with her in the past.... Or was she testing them on her... Who know?

Sutsu: Intimidating with a strong personality almost the opposite of Josie, the woman seems to have some spite against the Elezen since the moment they've met in Ishgard. To avoid if possible...

Destillion: Currently her boss, she found Destillion to be a fair and kind man dedicated to his work and the well-being of this Company. If anything, she admires his goal and hopes to not disappoint him.

Nasir: Probably one of the most charming and elegant person she has met in the Company so far. Even if one of his critic might have rubbed the Elezen the wrong way, she felt like she had been unfair to the man and crafted him a gift that she had worked on for many hours to mimic the appearance of the miqo'te's little pet.

Ryland: One of the few members of Ashes she has met when hiring the Company in the past. His good-nature and warmth quickly made her feel comfortable in his presence. Like with Destillion, she wants to stay on Ryland's good side and will follow his lead without hesitation when they're on a mission since he knows what's he doing... Right?

Chiaki: The young noble has found a kindred spirit in the blond Au'ra as they often exchange words on their passion for technology. Both of them are enthousiastic to work on the Magitek Armor given by their old boss and hopefully return the rusted machine to it's previous glory.

Manmi: WIP

"Estelle": A rusted magitek armor now left in the capable hands of the noble woman. More than a machine to her eyes, Estelle as she named it, is a rare opportunity to learn more about imperial technology and possibly, even go beyond it's previous design.

More to come...
