G'raha Tia

Appearance

G'raha has been updated to the end of Endwalker (6.0), so he'll be wearing his new outfit. The main things to note about his appearance are his features. His eyes are a bright red and important beyond the color of it. His eyes are called the Royal Eyes (or Allagan Eyes) that are a trait that shows that he is a descendant of Allagan royalty. He originally only had one of them, but Unei and Doga gave him a parting gift (their blood) to give him complete control of the Crystal Tower.

Other things to note are some of the tattoos that he has. The more prominent ones are the ones on his neck. These are called the Circle of Knowing (usually referred to as an Archon's mark). More prominently found on the Scions who stood with Louisoix, it is also the mark of a Sharlayan sage. He notably states that he had to write a thesis to gain access to forbidden tomes.

His other tattoo, found on his shoulder, is called the Path of the Twelve. Though this is a mark that the Scions had under Minfilia's leadership, as allies to the Scions, the Students of Baldesion were likely to bear the symbol themselves. As a Student of Baldesion, he has one as well. They were known to be allies of the Scions before their disappearance. After this strange phenomenon left them few in numbers, Krile was one of the few remaining.

The more apparent traits G'raha has are related to his ears and tail. As a Miqo'te, he is a cat boy, and his ears especially can be quite telling of how he's feeling. Despite hiding his identity in the First, he's a relatively easy guy to figure out, but I'll go into that in the other sections in more depth.

Fashion

You can see what he's wearing currently in both the gif on top as well as the appearance section. Regarding what he is more than likely to wear here at Reverein, though he's more likely to wear more comfortable clothing and likely things with hoods; He's going to feel a little weird not having his cowl to hide behind from time to time. He's not likely to think much about fashion. I can safely assume his outfit now was thanks to Tataru's fashion expertise. Thank you, Tataru.

Demeanor & Attitude

For a more descriptive explanation of his personality, I think it would be easier to point you to his personality section in his application. You can also find information about his canon update here. However, I will touch upon a few things here, just not in detail.

G'raha had once been a brat while he was still younger but matured quite a bit during his time in the First. He is overly polite (sometimes to a fault) and will always put others' well-being above his own every time. He is a bit of a nerd at times and is especially interested in the Allagen Empire due to his Royal Eye inherited from his father. He's also notably a workaholic and stubborn, working tirelessly to a goal until he's able to achieve what it is that he's working on. This has caused people around him to have to constantly tell him to take breaks or get some rest, sometimes resorting to forcing him out of his study.

Seen as more reserved in the First, he started acting more like himself back in the Source. He is more likely to wear his heart on his sleeve. He becomes much more sheepish and awkward in some situations. Needless to say, he's not hard to tease at all. Y'shtola and Alisaie had already started to poke fun at him, usually regarding things like the Warrior of Light and his heritage.

I briefly mentioned something about his ticks in his appearance section regarding his ears and tail, but this falls more in line with wearing his heart on his sleeve. Even in the First, once his hood was down and revealed who he was, his ears had been pretty expressive and there is a lot you can tell by his mood by just paying attention to that alone. His tail had been hidden at the time, but later on, reacts much the same way. For somebody who has kept to shadows for so long, you would think he would be better at acting (Shadowbringer patch spoilers).

Voice

G'raha is voice by Jonathan Bailey in English and Yuma Uchida in Japanese. I'll link a few examples here, but be aware of Shadowbringer spoilers in all of these.

💎 Backtagging
Absolutely! I know I can be slow from time to time, so I'm always open to backtagging. If you can put up with me, I can put up with your slowness.

💎 Fourth Walling
I see no problems with this, but please clear this with me first.

💎 Threadhopping
I'm okay with threadhopping, but it depends on what it's for. Just like the others, some warning would be good first (unless it's a gagtag. Go nuts.)

💎 Offensive Subjects/Triggers
I have no particular triggers myself. I can't see Songerein ever getting bad enough for serious bodily injuries, but I'd rather avoid those if I can. Otherwise, I have nothing to note here.

💎 Physical Affection
Please. I am all for fluff. I don't know how much G'raha reciprocate (depending on the CR), but feel free to try.

💎 Physical Violence
I don't particularly mind fighting. However, I would prefer to have some warning ahead of time.

💎 Romance/Flirting
Much like the physical affection, I love shipping and fluff, but it all depends on the CR. Anyone is free to flirt with him, but he's not really great at reciprocating it. I encourage it nonetheless, and a shy catte is the best kind of catte. Regarding any relationships, it depends on the CR.

💎 Sexual Content
Unlike flirting, sexual content would highly depend on CR.

💎 Psychic/Magical Abilities
G'raha will have no particular psychic shielding, so I'm open to any influences like telepathy and the sort. The only request is that you clear it with me before you do it. The only thing I can think of is during his meeting with Vaultry; he mentioned trying to use his effects on G'raha but hadn't succeeded. He seemed to have some mental and physical resilience, but I'm not terribly picky about that.

💎 Offensive Subjects/Triggers
G'raha has no specific triggers, so anything is pretty much fine.

Because G'raha is currently from the end of Endwalker (6.0), there will be a lot of spoilers between tags and his icons. If you would prefer not to be spoiled, please do fill this out for me because I would rather not ruin the story for those who are still playing.

💎 Are you okay with spoilers?
💎 If you would like to avoid spoilers, what point in the story are you? I will do my best to avoid anything past that point.
💎 Would you rather opt-out of tagging at all? There are no hard feelings if you would rather not.

💎 <b>Are you okay with spoilers?</b> Yes/No 💎 <b>What point in the story are you?</b> What happened last? 💎 <b>Would you rather opt-out of tagging at all?</b> Yes/No
