|Profile=Alruna Greengate is a gregarious and affable adventurer, always willing to lend a hand and help people out, belying her origin as a citizen of the isolated and isolationist city-state of Ishgard. Outwardly another one of Eorzea's many adventurers, and one fortunate to be blessed with the Echo - a mysterious power that grants her many benefits - Alruna harbours a greater secret; she was cast forward years in time from a fateful battle that remade the landscape of Eorzea, to bring her hope and her strength back to the world for a second chance. Her big heart is only matched by her outsized, sometimes boorish, behaviour that leaves her wanting as an operative of the Watch, but with nearly all memory of her wiped from the world she feels driven to rebuild her reputation as one of Eorzea's foremost swordmasters and rediscover her world, now a part of one that is so much more than she remembers.
|Defining='''The Echo:'''

Alruna is blessed with a power known as the Echo, which grants her immunity to mind-controlling powers and allows her to see visions of the past.

* ''Intrusion Immunity:'' Those blessed by the Echo are immune to mind-controlling influences.
* ''Hint:'' Alruna gets occasional glimpses into the past of things that are immediately pertinent to what's going on around her, and gives her some insight on how best to handle current situations and problems.

'''Unyielding:'''

Alruna's key martial focus is defensive tactics and tenacious endurance.

* ''Weapon Mastery - Swords & Shields:'' Alruna is a swordmaster of considerable repute, skilled in the use of many kinds of swords and some improbable feats with shields.
* ''Damage Reduction:'' As an adept of the paladin arts, Alruna uses her training and equipment to regularly endure grievous onslaughts.
* ''Improbable Defence:'' Alruna can briefly defend herself from any form of attack, so long as it comes from one direction. She remains vulnerable to attacks from other directions, or that are not discrete weapons or directional blasts.
|Significant='''Blessing of Light:'''

The Light of Hydaelyn suffuses Alruna, giving her great power and turning her into a holy warrior tasked with defeating the summoned gods of her world.

* ''Superhumanity:'' Alruna's abilities and endurance have been increased to super-human levels, making her significantly stronger, faster, and more resilient than your average person.

'''Disciple of War:'''

Alruna is a consummate warrior, experienced in martial arts both armed and unarmed.

* ''Attack List - Melee:'' Alruna has an inventory of traditional fighters' weapons for close-quarters combat.
* ''Weapon Mastery - Unarmed:'' Alruna is well-versed in fist-fighting and unarmed combat.
|Minor='''Gregarious Adventurer:'''

Adventuring is a demanding business, and a few tricks and comforts help to ease the burdens of the road.

* ''Hammerspace:'' Alruna's magic allows her to store equipment and items that can be called up at a moment's notice, making herself fully armed and ready for combat.
* ''Survival Skills:'' An orchardist by family trade and necessity, Alruna's knowledge of woodcraft and harvesting techniques only improves with the number of inhospitable environments she has to scrounge food in.
|Disadvantages='''Private SNAFU <Trouble>:'''

Alruna's willful personality and direct methods lead her to take Gordian Knot-cutting solutions to problems. She is decidedly bad at being a low-profile operative and when things go wrong she is constitutionally incapable of salvaging the situation in anything but an all guns blazing manner. Similarly, in social situations she will be just as direct, sometimes with a tough love approach, and sometimes inadvertently revealing facts or secrets she should have kept to herself.

On reflection, the first thing she was grateful for once she was unceremoniously disgorged from that pillar of light back into the waking world somewhere in the southern regions of the Twelveswood, was that no-one saw her dry-heaving, trying to void an already-empty stomach next to the stone bearing the Mark of Althyk. That would definitely not be going in any ballad.

The next thing... was the silence. The world almost felt devoid of sound, compared to the hellish battlefield she'd just stepped from. One moment, she had been staring down the king of dragons, watching the oncoming light growing in his mouth and knowing it was annihilation. Next... Louisoix had done ''something'', cast some bafflingly clever and powerful spell, no doubt, and they all began disappearing one by one. It felt like a teleportation spell, as it took her. But where were the others now?

She grappled with the question as she walked, eventually climbing up to a high outcropping to survey where in the hells she was. A fleeting smile touched her lips as she looked out over the land. The world was changed; she felt it in the water, she felt it in the earth... she smelled it in the air. The suffocating shroud of doom that had hung overhead for weeks was gone. Eorzea felt reborn.

After getting her bearings, she set off south to find out what had become of the battle, of the Archons and her comrades and everything else that had transpired in the eight years, she discovered, since the Battle of Carteneau. Many rude shocks awaited her, not least of which being everyone's lack of memory of her. It was hard to say if she felt more hurt or insulted by the blank looks when she tried to explain who she actually was. Finally she had given up and resigned herself to having to make a name for herself once more. Fine. She did it once, she could do it again!

"Lass... hey! Lass! Ye with me?" the burly Guildmaster poked her in the shoulder, bringing her back to the present in Revenant's Toll. The Roegadyn frowned. "Are ye sure ye can handle this? Bad enough with all these outlanders around, I don't want to send no daydreamer to the Sons o' Saint Coinach, no matter how well she looks like she can handle herself. They're expecting a mighty bad monster problem when they crack open that..."

She frowned, pinning him with her best steely gaze to the sturdy double doors behind him. To her mild satisfaction, he broke first.

"All right, all right, didn't mean nothing by it, girl. Just doing my job. So what name should I tell 'em to expect?"

She let the frown ease, and smiled slightly again. "Alruna." She turned to look at the glinting blue spires of the Crystal Tower in the distance.

"Alruna Greengate."
