First but not least: early days wolmeric where I really worked out the foundation of Fraeswys as a character; spoilers through 3.4.

Opening scene of an old fic of mine I've wanted to pose for a while - Fraeswys jumping Aymeric with a *very* strong hug.

A big exclamation point pops up over her head.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:m3tko3gwuilkjlxzl772dosx/bafkreiaqdrod3whbxfx7tlrdgtex4bxn7clo6nwt4gxslxlqn6twt2wxae@jpeg)

Fraeswys... definitely admires her own muscles from time to time. She hasn't trained so hard NOT to!
#wolqotd how does your oc feel about their reflection. do they enjoy looking in the mirror?

Free day, so I thought I'd take some shots of my [square?] dancer glam!
(Canonically Fraeswys should probably have even more abs, but I don't yet feel the need to turn to crime for that :P)

Fraeswys can't complain; she lives pretty frugally, has modest savings, and plenty left over to donate most of. She mostly takes side jobs just for something to do!
#wolqotd
A remark somebody made got me thinking: in their own eyes, is your WoL/OC paid enough for what they do in MSQ? Or do they ever take side jobs? Maybe even hand out an invoice or two?

#RoevemberXIV Day 2: Campfire
It was in trekking through the Forelands that Fraeswys started to grow into herself as an adventurer, ditching her (clearly useless) old mask forever.

#RoevemberXIV Day 1: Starting Out
Some time after the Calamity and her old pirate crew breaking up, Fraeswys washed back up in Limsa Lominsa to start anew as an adventurer. Her disguise was... ill-considered, but no one there paid it any mind.

No. Fraeswys is a rebel, fighter against fate, and herself. The only thing she'll accept she got from her soul is power and responsibility.
Without the Calamity, she would've happily stayed a pirate, and never have even met Aymeric. All the more special that chance brought them together.

If you ship your WoL/OC, do they believe in soulmates? And has this belief been affected by their dating history?
(You also have permission to gush about your ship if you think it’s relevant/want an excuse to gush)

Fraeswys is an enthusiastic if not perfectly graceful dancer, mostly-learning new moves over her travels.
She still favors Limsan step, though she's a Square DNCer. Aymeric's taught her some Ishgardian ballroom; she prefers to lead.
And absolutely.

Fraeswys has long stopped caring about trying to be Conventionally Attractive or "pretty" vs. handsome; if some ABSOLUTE COWARDS can't handle a buff 7' green woman, their loss.
She's definitely hot, IMO, just a little more niche.

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?

Fraeswys enjoyed playing mentor but also picked up a few new techniques from the Turali traditions from Wuk Lamat herself. They became pretty good combat friends.
Fraeswys was also a HUGE Ketenramm fan and *totally* normal about somehow getting to meet him.

did your WoL/OC befriend wuk lamat during their journey through tural or was it just a job to them?
are they closer to any of the other claimants or another NPC they've met?

Fraeswys's pirate crew kept a pretty small cut for themselves to give a lot to the poor. She's done the same with her adventuring earnings, especially after saving a little for retirement just in case.
#wolqotd Today my tarot deck drew the Four of Pentacles, a card with two meanings: stability and security, or greed and possessiveness.
When your character was growing up, how financially stable was their home environment? How has that impacted how they handle money today?

Fraeswys did NOT care for Aymeric at first at all. 2.x was a rough time for her, last thing she needed was *another* schemer treating her as a tool.
(He was nicer after, of course, but putting himself on the line for his beliefs in HW is what really started winning her over.)

What was your WoL's (Oc's) first impression of their future significant other? Was it love at first sight? Or did they perhaps have a wrong first impression?

So Limsa canonically "elects" a new Admiral by boat race. Proves they can form & lead a crew, at least.
Fraeswys would mostly continue Merlwyb's modernization efforts, ticking off some old pirates, but rule with less of an iron fist; build more proper institutions, introduce more democracy.

Your WoL is now a political leader. Maybe they found a new city state, was appointed King, earned a seat on the forum, got voted in, or got more involved as Khagan—sky's the limit!
What do they do, how do people/other leaders handle/percieve their leadership, and what are the consequences?

Fraeswys has picked up just enough Ishgardian to tease Aymeric.
She'd love to know more Old Roegadyn beyond what the Sea Wolves have kept for names.

Fraeswys was a pirate trying to blend in in higher places. So she doesn't show much of a Limsan accent, but she's still a bit less formal than the major characters. Incomplete sentences, more contractions, "prob'ly" a bunch for some reason? Sometimes she slips back into nautical phrases.

Fraeswys doesn't want to retire; being useful and important again as a mentor is the one thing she'd love about it. She'd go all-out as a sensei.
She'd really try to emphasize not doing things alone - both because possibly no one else could (*she* barely did!), and no one should have to.

#wolqotd Years have passed since the events of XIV, maybe decades, and your WoL/OC is in retirement. A new threat rises, and a new generation of heroes come to them for guidance/assistance. How do they respond?
