Seia Ainsworth, a seasoned adventurer in her early thirties, embodies the spirit of Eorzea with her mastery of the samurai class in Final Fantasy XIV. Her journey across the realm is not just one of battle but also of craftsmanship, as she travels as a carpenter, shaping wood with the same precision she wields her katana. Seia's appearance is striking; her long, jet-black hair is often tied back in a practical yet elegant style, accentuating her sharp, focused eyes that reflect a deep blue, reminiscent of the Azim Steppe's skies. Her attire blends traditional samurai garb with the practical needs of an adventurer, featuring a dark haori over a lighter kimono, complemented by sturdy boots and gloves suited for both combat and carpentry. A unique quirk of Seia's is her habit of humming ancient Hyur lullabies while she works, a soothing melody that contrasts with the intensity of her battles.
Driven by a quest for mastery over her dual passions, Seia seeks to uncover the lost techniques of both samurai and carpentry, believing that the path to true enlightenment lies in their harmonious blend. However, her journey is fraught with challenges; the ancient knowledge she seeks is guarded by both jealous masters and the relentless forces of nature. Undeterred, Seia confronts these obstacles with a blend of diplomacy and force, often forging alliances with other adventurers and tribes to gain access to forbidden knowledge. Her approach works because her sincerity and skill win over many who might otherwise be adversaries, allowing her to learn from the most reclusive masters.
As Seia's journey unfolds, she faces internal conflicts about her dual identity as a warrior and a craftsman, and external conflicts with those who see her pursuits as a threat to traditional ways. Her story culminates in a grand tournament where she must prove her worth as a samurai while simultaneously crafting a masterpiece that embodies her philosophy. Through this, Seia not only achieves her goals but also inspires a new generation to see the beauty in blending seemingly disparate arts.
