Althea Leclair   is many things; Knight-Captain, Mother, Annoyance, and the Knight In Yearning(Legendary fanfic writer(retired) in the Arcadion community). In lieu of this, the Hyune devotes herself to her Knightly Oath, to serve her people as her Queen does. Did? Hard to say. That story, and hers in turn, is a still-ongoing Chronicle.

"I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend."

  personality.     Althea, at first glance, comes across as nosy and incredibly sociable, poking her nose in whatever she can to ensure everyone is content. While she can be like this, that is largely the helmet she wears when doing her knightly work.She is a compassionate, curious, and romantic individual, who often lives in her own world. This romanticism causes her to gravitate towards romance novels and movies. The curiosity takes shape in understanding history, and it's impacts on the present. While she typically tries to be attentive to the people around her and any shift in their emotions, if a person truly intrigues her, she diverts whatever energies she can into understanding them. This often leads to her overstepping boundaries.When she gets put on the spot or is being lectured, Althea seemingly shrinks into a more meek version of herself. Perhaps this is the truest Althea at her core? Regardless, this appears to be a common trait between her and her daughter.When she gets backed into a corner, she tends to lash out, leading to a bit more of a pomp and relentless verbal assault.

moodboard.

  A Knights' Oath     Althea puts honor and loyalty to a cause above most things. If you're a knight-type, or a people-forward figure, and she recognizes that, you automatically have a good first impression with her.What are her core tenants? Where do her loyalties lie, and what shape does that take when her beliefs are shaken?

  Alexandrian Native     Althea has spend her entire life within the dome, being born just before Interdimensional Travel merged the worlds. She leans into many of the Alexandrian customs, up to and including the use of her Regulator.How does she feel about Outsiders? Has she ever left? Would she ever be willing to? What would it take to make that so?

  Civilizational Historian     While Althea knows little beyond Alexandria, she is fascinated with the role other nations have played in her home's past, especially considering her family came from Lindblum following the Great Surge.How does she handle a nation who has done more harm to history than good? What other nations are there to discover beyond the Dome?

  Kudos to Yearning!     Althea is a retired fanfic writer that gained an infamous reputation within the Arcadion community(Username: KnightInYearning). But one day, this ghost writer simply vanished? Have fun getting her to disclose this dark blemish of her past.I think I remember seeing that username in the Leynet some time ago. Also, what is that username???

  Practice Makes Perfect     Within her tenure as an Alexandrian Knight, she has had little need to draw her weapon. It, as well as she, have gathered much rust. She's always down to shake some of it off over a spar or duel. She's always had a bit of a competitive streak, but also is always looking to learn and improve her craft. After all, to better oneself is to become a more capable protector of the people and her family.What's the deal with her fighting style? Why does she look so uncomfortable with her weapon so frequently?

  Without Family, You've Got Nothing     The Leclair family has had a rocky history, dating all the way back from their native Lindblum roots. And it was no better with her mother and her schemes that affected both Althea and her daughter. She will do anything to protect a strong family bond, be it hers with her daughter, one's she makes moving forward, or families she may involve herself with down the line.Does the rest of the family agree with her stance? What did her mother even do?

  chara name.     Jade "Gemma" Leclair-Vestholt
  relationship.     Daughter
  bond level   A★★★★★★★★★★MAX
  summary.     Althea would do anything and give everything for her daughter(Including dropping a hefty sum of credits to feed the child's Arcadion fanaticism). Especially considering the two have a shared trauma that neither knew they were experiencing. While Althea was made privvy to this information, Jade remains blissfully ignorant. The two can constantly be seen squabbling and bullying one another, seemingly bonding despite this. When Jade comes of age, Althea intends to take the child under her wing and teach her to defend herself, so the past doesn't repeat itself.
  Althea's Feelings   "That she doesn't know what was wrought upon her is a blessing.. I needs must get stronger so I can protect her purity. Until then.. I can muster another rewatch of the Arcadion seasons.."

  chara name.     Niobe "Blue" Vestholt
  relationship.     Ex-Wife
  bond level   B★★★★★★☆☆☆A
  summary.     Althea and Niobe met nearly 15 years ago, saving one another at multiple points. Niobe was named Jade's Godmother at Althea's request, and eventually became the child's other mother after sending Jade's father to the Cloud in Jade's defense. Niobe and Althea eventually grew closer, and shared their Eternal Bond. This lasted all of five years. Following Code Blood, Niobe left without rhyme or reason, leaving Althea to fend for herself in the tribulations to come, as a now single mother to a 12 year old child. Niobe has recently returned, and was aptly sent to the gaol for both admitting to killing Althea's first husband, but also offering to do the same to Althea's mother at fear of her conspiring tendencies.
  Althea's Feelings   "While the die has been cast, I genuinely just wished she would have confided in me, given me a choice, instead of pushing us away. But thanks to that, I was able to choose myself."

  chara name.     Ennui / Allisandre
  relationship.     ?????
  bond level   A★☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆MAX
  summary.     Althea met Ennui on the woman's break, and that effectively set in motion a constant stream of Althea managing to encounter her at all the most inconvenient times. While the woman has a perpetually apathetic air about her and would rather be left alone, Ennui has helped Althea through many trials and tribulations, much to the point that Althea holds a great deal of respect for the half-Eldite.
  Althea's Feelings   "It's wild that people talk the way they do about her, when there is so much that she has done for us Alexandrians.. I just wish she'd rely on me a bit more."

  chara name.     Rhodochrosite "Roesia" Chryso
  relationship.     Close Friend
  bond level   S★★☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆MAX
  summary.     A rather fiery personality that can be aptly labeled Gender Envy, Rhode is someone with whom Althea has made quick friends with. They have played a big part in helping her come out of her shell and into herself. The two have a great synergy and play into each other's antics rather well, much to Ennui's chagrin. Althea's confiding in Rhode led to an uncovering of a mortifying facet of her life that Althea would never have known was happening to Althea or Jade.
  Althea's Feelings   "I admire Rhode's nonchalance and able to roll with the punches. However, the speed at which they bottle up their frustration or hurt has me a touch worried.. Even if they insist they are fine."

  chara name.     Cazimir "Caz" Akastra
  relationship.     Associate
  bond level   C★★★★☆☆☆☆☆☆B
  summary.     Althea met Cazimir alongside Korsinait, when they showed up to deliver a bundle of linkpearls, at the behest of Niobe. While she didn't take too kindly to the gesture, she made sure to insist that it wasn't their fault. As their stay continued, Althea had encountered Cazimir in a few instances, including the confrontation with Niobe that led to her detainment.
  Althea's Feelings   "Ser Cazimir is a rather respectful fellow. He has been conscientious of boundaries, and appears to be a loyal friend to Niobe. I hope he and his partner find what they are looking for in Alexandria."

  chara name.     Korsinait "Kors" Lanroka
  relationship.     Associate
  bond level   C★★★☆☆☆☆☆☆☆B
  summary.     Althea met Korsinait alongside Cazimir, when they showed up to deliver a bundle of linkpearls, at the behest of Niobe. While she didn't take too kindly to the gesture, she made sure to insist that it wasn't their fault. Althea had sought to find the Miqo'te with intent to commission him for a new weapon to replace her broken ones, but following Niobe's arrest, she worries that is off the table.
  Althea's Feelings   "Ser Korsinait is a rather interesting fellow. A bit more willing to take risks than his partner, doling out pointed remarks when others typically would not. I feel that is a common trait amongst smiths, though."

  chara name.     Rosalie Til Prismatiros
  relationship.     Friend
  bond level   A★★★☆☆☆☆☆☆☆MAX
  summary.     A curious child of Ennui's that only recently began making appearances. While Althea knows a bit of Rosalie's story, she finds herself protective of the child, and is attentive to when she appears to be overwhelmed by the settings she finds herself in. Althea, without fail, will play up her Knighthood when greeting Rosalie, often calling her Lady Rosalie and giving an Alexandrian salute.
  Althea's Feelings   "Rosalie is a sweet child with a gift for painting. If she is anything like her mother, I wager she will bring about a renaissance to our advance Keep. I hope she and Jade get along.."

  chara name.     Dane
  relationship.     Friend
  bond level   B★★★☆☆☆☆☆☆☆A
  summary.     Althea, by some twist of fate, managed to meet Dane while getting caught in Limsa without funds! The two talked and realized who one another were, with talks of mingling and bonding over Niobe's Great Fumble.
  Althea's Feelings   "Dane is sweet, from what I have seen. A very compassionate individual. The moment she learned of who I was, I could see full well the depths of concern she had for her friend."

  chara name.     Yugen
  relationship.     Employer
  bond level   C★★★★★★★☆☆☆B
  summary.     Another of Niobe's previous associates that Althea happened to encounter. The two shared a small bond over how disappointed they were in the Viera, and Yugen offered Althea employment in the Source.
  Althea's Feelings   "Dragon tail... He's got an air of aloof mysticism about him, but appears to be a kind individual. Plus, he is setting me up with the tools to function outside of Alexandria, so that in of itself is greatly appreciated."
