Euphemia, a Black Highlander Hyur, taking up a casting pose with her eyes closed as she floats in the air. Her hands are spread and one hand has a simple conjurer's stave in it. Helena, a cheetah-patterned Hrothgar with dark brown fur, leans against a wooden post and looks at the camera with an indifferent, pensive expression and lidded eyes. She is tall and notably very muscular.

This is #Ystride (she/they).
Youngest of several Auri siblings from the Steppe (long story), and one of the Ladies of Light.

They enjoy research and the occasional quiet night out, but is also a skilled Machinist, Gunbreaker, and Red Mage, as well as a developing Sage.

We also have #Fubuki (Roe) and #Touka (Hyur), who are essentially the retainers that got picked up to help maintain the apartment that the Ladies keep in Kugane for trips on that side of the world. They are Black Othardians, specifically from Hingashi. (3/3)

Here's the main cast, essentially a team of WoLs: #Mirita, #Khorijin, #Rija, #Khoride, #Ystride, #Euphemia, and #Helena. They're all Black.

(The actual lore is too complex for what I've got time to post, but you can learn bits of things by checking #LadiesOfLightLore.) (1/3)

An image of seven women, standing under a logo which says "Ladies 7" with the word Ladies written in Eorzean script. The logo has the subtitle text "rays of light, diffracted...yet shining undaunted", and resembles a long horizontal capsule with a blue and yellow gradient; its right side has six triangular sunrays emanating from its right end, and the words "Ladies" and "7" are separated by an embossed alchemical sun symbol. The women featured are two Xaela Au Ra, a Seeker Miqo'te, a Highlander, a Rava Viera, and a Hrothgar; they are all Black women or demiwomen.

In their own home territories there are no real difficulties, though #Mirita didn't learn her actual birth M clan name until many years afterward. There is a thread that has proper pronunciations and all, but here's a screenshot to summarize.

(blacksky.community/profile/did:...)
#Mirita: Correct: ME-rii-tuh. For her birth name M'naira: Meh-NIGH-ruh. Most people tend to say Me-RII-tah/tuh the first time. #Khorijin: Correct: CO-rii-jin. Occasionally she gets Co-RYE-jin, usually from people who don't know Steppe names. #Rija: Correct: Either RII-hah or RII-yah, though the latter is technically more correct. People will say either most of the time. #Khoride: Correct: CO-rii-day. Most people will either accidentally or deliberately focus on the "ride" part of it either for puns or other things. #Ystride: Correct: IST-rid (like Astrid but with an I sound in front). Most people will say Yiss-tryed or something akin to that if they don't know. #Euphemia: Correct: YOU-femme-e-yah (same as the Code Geass character) #Helena: Correct: Hell-AY-nuh. HELL-en-uh is also acceptable but technically Less Correct.

Her nameday was two days ago (October 14), but she is nevertheless happy to celebrate it.
Happy 32nd nameday, #Ystride.

While I do not have pictures of everyone, do have:
- #Mirita and her parents
- Gorbeljin, Khorijin's mother. #Khorijin and #Khoride are the only blood daughters she has who have inherited her eye and hair colors. (2/2)

Gorbeljin, a Black Au Ra woman, looks at the camera, with what appears to be a mildly indifferent expression. She is clearly middle aged, with slight wrinkles on her face.

- #Mirita: Never met her parents. They died under Garlean occupation of Ala Mhigo when she was very young; her father M'jalla was a hunter that recently had permission to start his own offshoot of the M tribe, and her mother M'toko was from a different distant offshoot of the M tribe. Upon meeting one of her father's surviving sisters, M'aka, she had an Echo vision of them; she does her best to remember them accordingly. - #Khorijin: Only knows her mother, Gorbeljin "Stoneface", who is at current the khatun of the Borlaaq and by proxy Khorijin (and occasionally Khoride's reperesentative as khagan); Khorijin has never met her father and does not know him, but he is likely from the Iriq. Gorbeljin is a stern and rather taciturn woman, and the one who taught Khorijin how to use a sword (and a spear, given that Khori's oldest sister Berude is kind of a jerk), but does her best to treat her daughters well. - #Rija: Similarly to Khorijin, she only knows her mother Rena, though her grandmother Ysera and her great-grandmother Petra are both alive still. Rija gets along well with all three of them, despite the expectations levied on her as the oldest of her five siblings. Ystra and Petra are village elders, whilst Rena is a leatherworker in Rija's home village of Muscadet. - #Khoride and #Ystride technically count Gorbeljin as their mother given their respective links to Khorijin (as Khori's Fray and Myste equivalents, respectively) though Euphemia has essentially adopted Ystride as well. - #Euphemia's parents, Sophia and Andronikos, were both researchers at Elpis. Unfortunately, an accident that happened there when Euphemia was a teenager or so resulted in them returning to the star. As a result, Venat essentially adopted her afterward, and is her second mother. - #Helena's mother, Vesna, is the queen of her clan, with Helena as the queen presumptive; Sambor, her father, does animal husbandry for the clan. Even before Ala Mhigo's invasion, Helena's clan wandered all over Bozja, and continued doing so in the wake of the invasion, refusing to submit to Garlean imperialism.

(OOC: The simplest way to explain this takes more than 300 characters, so I'm going to use this instead. This question turned out to be way more complicated than I thought.) (4/4)
Generally, the Ladies of Light are all some degree of sapphic. They all like women, but not *exclusively* women--their tastes generally skew toward either women or more feminine people in MOST cases. I will try to explain this as best I can as far as their individual nuances go, but that is the gist of it. Mirita: Cis woman Khorijin: Cis woman - Mirita and Khorijin are dating each other - They have definitely had a threesome with Sadu, who is likely a not-cis Gender Creature herself in the Ladies' canon given Dotharli beliefs Rija: Cis woman - Rija is mostly attracted to women or feminine people, but will occasionally feel a pull to a man (e.g., Thancred, Estinien), so you could say she's a bi/pan sapphic - However, she has definitely been attracted to gnc men and masc non-binary people as well Khoride: Altersex woman - Ride does not see her gender as something she was assigned but something she chose (given that she is Khorijin's Fray, this is pretty much accurate) - She would know, essentially, that she is a woman, but given that she chose her gender instead of having it assigned, cis/trans would make her shrug - She has the ability to shapeshift her body about as she sees fit within a certain limitation of bodily height and mass, but generally prefers to have breasts - Anything else is essentially at her discretion, in whatever configuration she pleases to have - While she's mostly attracted to women, that's not a hard and fast rule, and at least one person she is involved with long-term is distinctly Not Ystride: Demiwoman - Most of the time Ystride feels like a woman but sometimes they feel incredibly indifferent to the idea that she is a woman at all - While she has no interest in men, women or femmes draw her eye Euphemia: Cis woman - She married a Gender Creature, and while she is not interested in men she is not exclusively into women either Helena: Cis woman - She's pretty much in the same boat as Rija, save that it's rarer for her to be into men

As of this date (September 30, 2025):
- Mirita, Khorijin, Khoride: 32
- Ystride: 31
- Rija: 37
- Euphemia: 38 (chronologically 37,413)
- Helena: 43

These are the rules for how I handle aging here. (1/2)
The general rule of thumb for tracking ages is that if a birthday happens during a specific patch, sometime during that patch is the point at which that Lady celebrates their birthday; it can be assumed that a given patch also includes the downtime between major story beats for these purposes. For example, Miri turned 31 and Ysty turned 31 during the events of Dawntrail during 7.0, given the above reference point of 6.5; however, Miri probably did so shortly after or sometime during the 7.0/DT MSQ, whilst Ysty’s birthday was well after the events of the DT MSQ but before 7.1. On the other hand, Rija and Euphemia turned 37 and 38 respectively during 7.1, which came out after Ystride’s birthday (her birthday is in October; 7.1 was in November) and was the current patch during their birthdays in December. Subsequently, Khorijin and Khoride will turn 32 during 7.2, as it will be the current patch at that time, and Helena will turn 43.
