 A carefree individual stricken with wanderlust, who loves nothing more than to share stories of her travels with her friends and loved ones... and anyone else who wants to listen. A carefree individual stricken with wanderlust, who loves nothing more than to share stories of her travels with her friends and loved ones... and anyone else who wants to listen.
  
-Despite being somewhat frail with poor physical constitution due to a severe illness during her childhood, Mja has much the same matronly figure as her mother; though her ears never developed proper muscles, and are lopped as a result, she can still make them wiggle a bit as she'll happily demonstrate. While her natural hair color is platinum silver, she chooses to dye it red after the events of Shadowbringers, matching the color from her memories.+Despite being somewhat frail with poor physical constitution due to a severe illness during her childhood, Mja has much the same matronly figure as her mother; though her ears never developed proper muscles, and are lopped as a result, she can still make them wiggle a bit as she'll happily demonstrate.

 Her eyes were originally a dusky twilight cerulean, but after having her illness cured began to regain a orange hue, like the gentle setting sun her ancient beloved remembered.

 As a result, much of her personality overlaps with or is otherwise indistinguishable from Persephone(Azem)'s, though she still grew up and 'naturally' accepted herself as a singular individual. This only crops up as an issue of identity once she becomes involved in the conflict that sweeps over Eorzea, against Garlemald and the ascians looming behind the Empire. As a result, much of her personality overlaps with or is otherwise indistinguishable from Persephone(Azem)'s, though she still grew up and 'naturally' accepted herself as a singular individual.

-Mja possesses incredible magical talent, far beyond the ken of what the other thaumaturges of Ul'Dah's guild are capable of assisting with. This naturally garnered her the attention of both the Flames and the Scions, though the latter were somewhat mistrusting of her at first due to her suspect nature—though her pure-hearted innocence ultimately won them over after many trials.+Mja possesses incredible magical talent, far beyond the ken of what the other thaumaturges of Ul'Dah's guild are capable of assisting with.

 Unfortunately, though she's incredibly gifted... she's excessively bad at explaining how she manages to do the things she does, lacking the vocabulary and understanding to accompany her intuitive talents. Unfortunately, though she's incredibly gifted... she's excessively bad at explaining how she manages to do the things she does, lacking the vocabulary and understanding to accompany her intuitive talents.
  
-Growing up in a matriarchal society as the daughter of the village head, Mja has practically no concept of money, and even after receiving several lessons from Tataru, she still finds the notion behind fiat currency to be somewhat ridiculous when there are needs that must be met to survive and thrive.+Growing up in a matriarchal society as the daughter of the village head, Mja has practically no concept of money, and even after receiving several lessons from Tataru, she still finds the notion behind fiat currency to be somewhat ridiculous when there are needs that must be met to survive and thrive.\\

-Perhaps the only significant distinction between her and Mja is that Persephone had a better understanding of cultural standards. In truth, she was actually //less// capable than most ancients when it came to creation magic, but her "sheer overwhelming passion," as her brother put it, overcame the differences and propelled her to be one of the greatest weavers of aether of their age.+Perhaps the only significant distinction between her and Mja is that Persephone had a better understanding of cultural standards.
