HI MOOSE i've been dying to know/get a fic sneak peek about how eidin felt when she really REALLY realized she'd fallen for wuk... did she leap into embracing it right away or was she uncertain/in shock/in denial about her own feelings, etc?

does eidin have any other job proficiencies outside of red mage? what sort of fighting style does she have?
She's got a few! I try to tie them into what I'm best at playing but that almost never works out outside of Red Mage.
The jobs she's most familiar with mainly come without their job stones, like gladiator, pugilist, rogue, archer, etc., just because she's a skilled & scrappy fighter/bar brawler and is able to use improvised weapons. Though she prefers Bladesinging (Red Mage) the most - casting at a distance, close range for quick & effective sword strikes, distance again for the finisher.
- Dark Knight & Reaper are kind of a combined job for her, with her Reaper avatar not being a voidsent, but her Esteem.
- I'd come up with a modified Astrologian for her, where the cards used constellations as she was familiar with them as a sailor/pirate rather than the Sharlayan/Ishgardian understanding (I have a wip of this somewhere).
- It's a tossup whether her "canon" tanking class is Warrior or Paladin (see above), but she can also definitely wield Big Axe with Big Rage.
- She can practice arcanima but it's not her preference. She used it as a cover job when she first came to Eorzea and promptly ditched it once she met X'rhun Tia.
- Machinist is her physranged class, though I use a FF11 Corsair mod (when they're active), because she absolutely uses a gun but is not at the level of an Ishgardian engineer when it comes to all the excess gadgets.
- Haven't played Picto or Viper enough to have a solid answer for her yet.

What does the future look like for eidin? And especially now with wuk lamat in her life 🤔
The future for now is just taking it day by day!! She's removed herself from worldly affairs unless specifically summoned, so there's nothing crazy on her plate yet post-dt. She's got a successful scouting/salvaging operation that she runs with multiple vessels under her command that she's dedicating more of her time to, while also aimlessly sailing her ship from port to port all over Etheirys as she sees fit & the winds take her.
With Wuk Lamat, they're both busy women running their own empires, so-to-speak, so they make time for each other when they can with that understanding. Thankfully with teleporting it makes it easier to see each other if they so desire (ex. Wuk Lamat being able to teleport directly to Eidin's ship if she wants to). They remain pretty private about their relationship for a while, with only their immediate confidants being aware of it, but that still only lasts about 6 months. Got a fun thing I wanna write for when THAT happens too :>

SORRY HI i have such a specific question does eidin have a figurehead on her ship
someone · 3mo
if she could, what places would eidin show wuk lamat from her travels? have any places stood out to her that she'd want to revisit with company?
Eidin's always been a solitary traveler. Despite hanging with the Scions, she enjoys company but it's never been required nor have any experiences felt lacking because she wasn't with specific people.
That said, since Wuk Lamat's a real foodie, I think Thavnair or Othard would be good places to start, both have their own diverse and rich culinary histories that I'm sure Wuk Lamat would love to try. Build up her spice tolerance too. But places with unique architecture like the Azim Steppe and Ala Mhigo would also be fun (I also selfishly want to see Wuk Lamat go toe-to-toe with Magnai and just grind him into the dirt.)

Does eidin have any phobias?
I'm not sure if she has outright phobias! She's afraid of things & has felt fear before, but nothing so crippling as a -phobia. She's afraid of drowning, she's afraid of losing her family again, she's afraid of being crushed under the weight of the massive responsibility she's been bestowed, she's not a fan of extreme heights, some would say she's afraid of commitment (untrue), and she was much more afraid of Zenos after "In From the Cold".

What was Eidin's most fond memory on her journey so far?
OOOO I had to think about this one for a bit. A lot of good stuff has happened as a result of her being the WoL, but that's more for other people and not just her.
For her, I think it's any time she glimpses the twins' growth (especially Alisaie, she's biased towards her protegé), or the little personal moments the Scions have with each other. Coffee with Alisaie in Sharlayan. Saving them all post-SHB and just getting to sit on top of Rowena's having tea and sandwiches as they recover. The dinner scene in Endwalker. Talking with Alisaie after Coils. The pre-Doma Castle dinner in House of the Fierce. Hot Chocolate with Alphinaud in Heavensward. Any time she gets to see her found family be a family, those are the fondest moments for her.

what color was eidin's hair before the light stress made it white? >:^)c also i love her but that's not a question or in question
So, funny story! Her hair was like... straw blonde when I first made her, but I've been playing with other colour options in my head. I feel like maybe she was brunette but then kept bleaching it when she got to Eorzea? Or maybe she's a natural blonde and dyed it when she was a pirate? I'm not sure, personally!
In-game, though. She was straw blonde beforehand!
(also thank youuuu 🥰🥰)

does Eidin miss being a pirate, or anything about that life?
I think she misses some things! The first thing I can think of is the freedom to roam wherever the money led them. She had been to so many places on the eastern half of Etheirys/Hydaelyn while she was a pirate, and becoming the WoL really limited her to one area for far longer than she'd have tolerated before!
