Warm cups of coffee and a crackling fire in the fireplace, which is conveniently located in her bedroom/study area.

Ever since visiting Tural, she has also fallen in love with alpaca fleece blankets and loves to bundle up in them with the neighborhood stray cats. By the fire. With coffee.

How does your wol / oc stay warm during the colder months or colder seasons?
November 8, 2025 at 9:49 PM
6.3 for me. I was a latecomer to the game and only created an account around 5.5... 😅
#wolqotd As a player, what was the first patch you were caught up for?
November 8, 2025 at 8:24 AM
Y'know what's also intriguing? Elf gock. 🥵

Anye keeps a modest cottage that is jam-packed with bookshelves and houseplants, and is kept...mostly neat & tidy. The exception to that is her study, which is strewn with notes, random stacks of books, research equipment, coffee cups, and overflowing cork boards & annotated maps on the walls.
#WoLQotD | #WoLQuestion

What does your WoL living room/space look like?

After losing her parents to the Seventh Umbral Calamity, Anye...kinda just wandered across Eorzea in a drunken fugue for months. Eventually her grief turned into righteous anger, which she directed at feeding & aiding other people displaced by tragedy & injustice. It started her Robin Hood Arc.
(Alreet ye lot #WoLQotD #WoLQuestion: Your WoL/OC has just lost someone close to them. Loved one, friend, partner/spouse.

Reaction?

Sha'dow: Not great. With Ascilia they literally went on a murdering spree. Same with Haurchefant/Ysayle. With Mide [redacted, IILLUMINATI LIES & SLANDER, NEVER ⤵️

Finally stopped being lazy and rewrote the part of Anye's Carrd relating to her ancestral home. It's now an exhaustive loredump on a little nation I completely made up all to explain why Anye has an Irish accent. 😂

Anye is a total coffee snob, and is always trying to find a way to up her brewing game. She also has some biased takes on Ishgardian red wine versus other wines, owing to her father being a vintner.

Beyond that, she is high-key obsessed with Hannish, Steppe, & Turali food. The spicier the better!
#wolqotd / #wolquestion

Does your wol / oc have any strong opinions on any foods / cuisines they’ve tried before?
November 5, 2025 at 4:47 PM
Me: "I should do something productive tonight."

Me, instead: *spends multiple hours researching Gyr Abanian & Gridanian lore to reverse-engineer the lyrics of an Irish folk song into a national anthem for Anye's home country*

...turned out pretty good, though?
November 5, 2025 at 8:07 AM
I am immensely proud of how Anye turned out. I had no plans to stick with FFXIV when I started, much less develop Anye at all. Just play the MSQ and unsub. But I fell in love with the game, and ideas for her just started pouring out as I got into XIV lore.

She's my favorite OC I've ever created.
#wolquestion / #wolqotd

Lil bit different today!

As a player, are you proud of your wol / oc? Were there any challenges in creating them, and did you overcome those obstacles at all?
November 1, 2025 at 7:31 PM
Hey all! While I'm still slowly working on getting my own gpose skills up to par, if anyone would like to use Anye in their own gposes my DMs are officially open to discuss! Please feel free to hit me up!

#wolqotd / #wolquestion

In addition to creating lore for your WoL/OC, did you also create unique lore about where they're from? Are they part of an obscure miqo'te tribe whose culture you created from scratch? Are they from a village with its own customs? From another Reflection? Sound off!

#wolqotd / #wolquestion

For the storytellers & roleplayers, how do you handle when a long-term story told through RP falls through? Either when it did not go to plan, or was unable to be completed due to life getting in the way? Do you retcon the storyline, or find another way to make it work?
October 30, 2025 at 6:07 PM
Lorewise, Anye is just the name her parents gave her. She has her mother's surname instead of her fathers, as her father had burnt bridges with his own family and didn't want to burden her with association to minor Ishgardian nobility she likely could never rejoin.
#wolqotd #wolquestion
As the creator, is there any significance behind the name you gave to your WOL/OC? What was the thought process like and how did you decide that it was the perfect fit? Is there any additional backstory/lore you included for your character regarding their name?
October 30, 2025 at 6:04 PM
Anye isn't afraid of ghosts (more fascinated by them), but she DOES have a crippling phobia of voidsent, largely stemming from a curse put upon her lineage. Now that the curse has been lifted and the fear is no longer supernaturally enhanced though, she's made some small progress in overcoming it.
#wolqotd is your WoL/OC afraid of ghosts? 👻
October 30, 2025 at 6:00 PM
Anye is actively trying to improve herself. She spent so much of her previous line of work putting the needs of others before her own, so she's now working on re-learning how to care for herself and prioritize her own happiness.
#wolqotd / #wolquestion

Is your wol / oc actively trying to improve themselves, or do they think they are fine as is?
October 30, 2025 at 5:55 PM
"Anye Vael" is a standard name I've used for player-characters in sci-fi & fantasy RPGs dating back to KotOR 1. I just thought it sounded cool. So naturally, hopping into XIV, that was just the name I picked.

I think XIV Anye is the definitive Anye though. Easily my favorite of them.

Anye would jump right into volunteering for relief efforts. Locating survivors, sheltering & feeding people who were suffering, performing triage, that sort of thing.

She'd basically default to doing what she did in her previous criminal life. Just, with less stealing from the rich first. Only aid.
#NewShiftNewQuestion | #wolqotd | #wolquestion

I'm at work now, which is also acting as a shelter for those displaced.

So, how would your OC react to a natural disaster near their home?
I'm evacuated, family is in a hotel for one night, but in the panic my family forgot basic needs...

I hate asking for help, but with so many unknowns right now I've started a Gofundme.

If you don't want to donate, that's okay, but I ask that you repost 💖

Saoirse, Anye's gunblade, is a custom-built piece that's made to be sturdy, yet light with minimal recoil, so that she can wield it in a manner more akin to the fencing she grew up learning.

She also has an actual rapier, Rósálainn, with dreams of someday learning Red Magick.
❄️ #WoLQotD | #WoLQuestion ❄️

Is there a reason your WoL/OC uses the weapon that they have?

Is there anything special about it or do they just use any ordinary weapon?
October 29, 2025 at 5:48 AM
She'd probably just straight physically drag them away to the nearest pub, saying with a light sigh, "Ye'll getcherself killed doin' that, fella. Have a pint and simmer yerself afore ye go an' do summin' fucking stupid, aye?"
#wolqotd

Some poor misguided fool with plenty of life ahead is spoiling for a fight they cannot win. What does your WoL/OC do/say to intimidate the fool out of attacking?
October 29, 2025 at 5:44 AM
Anye would probably do well in therapy. She's not shy about sharing her feelings and listening to advice if the advice-giver is trustworthy, and a therapist able to develop a good rapport with her could do a lot with that forwardness.
October 29, 2025 at 5:41 AM
Somewhere in the late Fifth Era through early Sixth Era, probably. It's Anye's specialty as a historian, so seeing it in person would be an incredible experience, especially seeing the events that gave rise to Red Magick and getting to see her ancestral Velodyne homeland in its heyday.
#WoLQotD | #WoLQuestion

If your WoL/OC was able to go back in time to - which period would that be and why?
October 29, 2025 at 5:35 AM
Anye is 9, 19, & 20. Closer to 9 when the weather's colder, closer to 20 when the weather's warmer.
#wolqotd I hope no one stole this first. what do they wear to sleep

Izumi's ass naked at 20 thank you for your time
October 29, 2025 at 5:21 AM
Anye is highly attractive, having both the graceful features of an elezen and the curvaceous figure of a highlander. For her part though, she doesn't give it much thought aside from being occasionally annoyed by some people assuming that her highlander stature means she's a 'dommy mommy.' She's not.
A #wolqotd because I'm bored on the train (probs one that's been asked before too)

How attractive is your WoL? Do people see them as being conventionally attractive, are they average or not attractive at all?
