"And still, after all this time, The sun never says to the star, 'You owe me.'
Look what happens with a love like that, it lights the
whole sky."
call her the love witch
Name: Yalda Allatu Mehrnaz
Birth Name: R’Nirra Allatu
Age Appears to be: mid-30s
Residence: The Goblet
Occupation: Soul-bonder, amoratory specialist, love-witch.
Disposition: Playful, tenacious, intelligent, observant, plucky, educated.
Status: Single
Gender: Genderfluid femme
Sexuality: Pansexual
Mantra: "For I have learned what every heart will get: that which it prays -- or pays -- for most. And it ain't always in gil either, honey."Other info: Yalda is not unlike most other Uldahn immigrants: a touch peculiar, but wise, socially aware, and dauntless.She's highly engaging, a boon for the aplomb businesswoman. Yalda wears her boldness, loud affinity for all things love, and pursuit of thrill on her sleeve. Meanwhile, she pirhouettes on the line between playfully flirty and strictly friendly; a dance she's practiced to perfection. Her softness offsets the brash (and usually uninvited) but honest opinions she offers up. Constantly.When not preforming soul-binding ceremonies or selling her unusual goods and services to whereever her feet (or generous Chocobo porters) take her, Yalda enjoys social gatherings. She especially likes markets, parties, art galleries, and musical preformances.Not that it matters what kind of event it is; she'll spend her time walking around, analyzing and observing the crowd more than the entertainment... at times in the company of a quiet, striking viera man.

RP Hooks
- traveling merchant this keeper has spent epochs (she won't admit to how many) as a nomad after leaving her clan. now settling into uldah, her restless nature leads to her selling her services and wares at all times of day and night in all parts of the city.hapless heartbreak hunter unwvering conviction runs in her blood, and she finds no greater joy than helping someone harboring a broken heart move on... even if it isn't a traditional or particularly healthy way.it's not all sunshine and rainbows (hard) the more one is around yalda, the more the veneer of being a sycophant cracks: she knows all too well love has a very, very painful and dark side... and that gleam in her eye when she dismisses such a notion hints at a familiarity beyond the superficial too.
- help for the hung-up Yalda seems to be a bloodhound for those suffering from unrequited love. with ample comfort, advice, and an inventory full of potions to influence the sufferer's heartache.- relationship woes? be it magic or delusion, she can read lovers' inner most feelings and thoughts, their histories, and usually 'has a tincture for that!' with uncomfortably accuracy.- first love, true love? nah (hard) she is a champion for love and connections, so why is she still single? the flirtatiousness she wields about bears no weight, and she's very avoidant of anything but giving lip service regarding her love life (or lack there of). sometimes in crowds, yalda's attention will snap sharply away for a brief flicker of time. a sudden gleam in her eyes as they dart about in search for something or someone: futile every time.
