Appearance: Sahja is shorter than your average Miqo'te, with one gold eye and one blue, and a smattering of freckles across her cheeks. Her looks often draw kind compliments; pleasant to the eye, though her smile usually outshines everything else. Her figure is unassuming at a glance, save for the arcane scarring that traces the length of her right side, usually hidden beneath fabric and charm. Her ears and tail are perfectly fluffed, always brushed to a soft sheen. She often smells of baked goods from the Keep’s kitchen... though lately, there's a hint of rum underneath the sugar.Personality: Warm, witty, and almost always laughing; Sahja is the type to disarm with a joke before you even realize she’s hurting. Outgoing to a fault, she uses charm and humor to smooth over awkwardness and keep things light, even when her eyes suggest she’s somewhere else entirely. It's easy to dismiss her antics as frivolous, but those who’ve seen her quiet will know: the cheer is armor.Occupation:Owner of The Crescent Inn, Sahja can usually be found at the front desk with a wink and a warm welcome. Her side business? Well... if you ask nicely, she might offer a reading, or patch you up with something strong from her apothecary. Just don’t ask what’s in it.Behind the Curtain:Though she still grins, those who’ve watched her closely this summer may notice her steps falter. Her fingers tremble some days. Her voice lingers a moment too long between words. Sahja’s daily Duskwither Tonic keeps the worst of her pain at bay but it comes at a cost: dulled emotions, haze in her focus, and an exhaustion that sleep doesn’t touch. Still, she shows up. Still, she hosts. Still, she watches.Just... maybe don’t ask how she’s doing unless you’re ready for the truth.

But be careful what you ask for; some concoctions come with a price few are ready to pay.Keeper of Secrets: Running an inn in a place like Shirogane means you hear things; lots of things. Sahja is a vault of whispers, rumors, and hidden truths. If you have information to trade or need someone discreet to listen, she’s your woman.Old Connections: Once a performer and a servant in some of Eorzea’s seedier corners, Sahja still has ties to a past life; friends and foes alike.
