J'talhdi Vhen

Thaumaturge & aetheric scholar

Profile

Name: J'talhdi Vhen
Age: 29-31 (she thinks)
Occupation: Scholar
Gender: FemaleA refugee of the unrest and Imperial Garlean takeover of Ala Mhigo, J'talhdi remembers only a little her childhood in that country. Her mother fled with her when the pair were separated from their Jackal tribe sept and the two of them eventually arrived in Limsa Lominsa as refugees. There, J'talhdi grew up with only her mother's stories of the tribal life and steeped in a culture that was not her own. Now in her late twenties (early thirties?), she is a keen student of the aether and thaumaturgy. Recently, she has begun to delve into her personal history in an effort to learn more about who her mother's people were and where it is that she originates.
