Able to replenish through multiple means, has a preference for direct supply of aether given from mortals. Only one known instance of death related to this consumption.SHAPESHIFTER: The ability to change shape into most living forms. Seems to only work with forms she is familiar with.

Positive
CONSENT NEEDED: Despite being voidsent, Vyr has retained her sense of self & morality. What's more, her sire has impressed upon her the importance of obtaining consent in all areas.LEVEL-HEADED: Even when her emotions run wild, Vyr's actions are usually dictated by a reasonable mind, calculating her responses to ensure the best result.OPEN-HANDED: While her sire prefers to trade favors, Vyr prefers to garner favor. She gives freely of wealth and kindness, seeking to foster allies rather than deal in quid pro quo.DETERMINED: Once she sets her mind to something, Vyr is dogged in finishing the task with the best outcome.PERCEPTIVE: Vyr possesses a sharp mind with an eye for detail and a deep sense of empathy. Even as a mortal she could sense the emotions of others, a trait that has deepened with her change to voidsent.CHAMPION OF THE ABUSED: Probably for personal reasons, Vyr absolutely abhors the mistreatment of others at the hands of those who are supposed to care for them. If she comes across someone being mistreated in this manner, she is likely to put enormous effort into freeing said person from that situation. This can sometimes be a detriment, but is mostly a positive trait.CHARISMATIC: Vyr is not obviously charismatic in the sense that people feel drawn to her, but she is unusually persuasive.
Negative

She does not trust easily, even if she's outwardly friendly.SELFISH: Concerned first and foremost for her own safety and well-being, Vyr puts her own interests above those of most others. Few can be counted as those she would sacrifice for.TRUE NEUTRAL: While opportunity may present itself to aid others, Vyr usually has ulterior motives for doing so and is more likely to seek a sure way to better her standing in some regard. However, that is not always the case, making it difficult to discern what her motives may be, if any exist at all outside of a desire to fill her time.
History
For most of her life, Vyr-- born Aoife Flynn-- lived in Limsa Lominsa, the daughter of refugee merchants. Her father was from Ala Mhigo, though her mother came from a lesser Ishgardian house, Lemaire. Much of her childhood was spent playing alongside her twin sister, Lara. By all accounts the pair were inseparable, often running to market together and helping their mother with various household tasks. From an early age she displayed a talent with others, always eager to please and perceptive to what those around her needed. As she grew into adulthood, these traits suited her well as a courtesan, dancer, and singer who plied her trades in several taverns in her adopted home city.Only when Vyr moved to larger establishments did she become embroiled with Raventys family. Only a short time later she ceased to be mortal, though the exact details of how this came to be are unknown. Shortly after this transformation, Vyr returned home to Limsa to visit her sister. The exact altercation that ensued is unknown, as only one living person remains and Vyr has never spoken of it. Somewhere between Lara leaving for an evening with their parents and Vyr arriving to her house, Lara's husband was brutally murdered, leaving little trace of the man but for an immense amount of blood strewn about the house. It was Lara who came to greet her sister only to discover the gory scene.Lara reported to the authorities she'd seen a horrifying voidsent devour her husband and sister before her eyes, but it hadn't noticed her outside the window of the home. She claimed to witness it disappear into the dark, uncertain where exactly it went. With no bodies to bury and no sign of the voidsent, an empty casket was laid to rest bearing the name Aoife Flynn.Vyr rarely returned to Limsa Lominsa and went through great pains to change her appearance, made all the more easier by her newfound abilities. For several years she kept to Gridania, nestled in the heart of a club rumored to be run by demons that catered to high paying clientele looking for thrills. When she did leave the club or Gridania, it was always in the company of two sell-swords, Arik and Arngier. Even when the club shifted locations to Ishgard did the two follow her, though her connections extended to the Noble Phantasms of House Azeros.Notably, Vyr has returned to Limsa Lominsa somewhat openly, though she still keeps the name Vyr. Lara, in turn, has taken up residence in Ishgard as the new Lady Lemaire after the passing of their grandfather.
