Den already pointed to DNC, and yes I know Midori already has that, but you could easily say she teaches Mitan in kind, and mechanically speaking, it is VERY close to PCT.

You're very welcome ♥️ Rohan is ALL about flowers, so that armor is one of his favs. Glad you love it too. Aveline is my second most played overall, so I'm VERY happy to see her get a positive reception too. Leo is actually Aveline's brother-in-law, and Ivette is Rohan's mom. The #lore runs deep~

The drip be drippin'! Leo doesn't usually wear fancy clothes, so he's out for this one. Give me an idea for future poses, though~ #WoLQotD #WoLQuestion #ElezenHours #Viera #Gposers
Rohan stands in the weavers' guild, wearing a rose-pink and wine-red brocade vest and a billowing, ruffled neck shirt combo. He wears an Elpis bloom on his head, and his smile is warm as he winks at the camera.Ivette takes a deep bow on the stage as she balances on her levitating magic scythe. She wears a fur-lined doublet with a deep, plunging neckline. She also wears a golden feathered masquerade mask, perfect for a ball. Aveline wears a thick silver winter coat, lined with grey fur and buttoned at the collar. She adjusts her black tie so it fits snugly under her black waistcoat.Zaheer wears a princely ensemble for his eternal bonding day, complete with a high collar with gold accents and peacock-blue ribbons across his chest.

I love D&D, and I would want the people who work on it treated well and fairly For a long time and especially in the last few years, the people in the trenches actually doing the work have not been given the proper respect or protections they deserve Please help change that

Mitan and the Coming Winter (7.56) @southseascion.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
Free as a bird... #Lalafell #ララフェル #FFXIV #FF14
Mitan, a dark-skinned Plainsfolk Lalafellin woman, looks out at the nature of the Shroud on an outing with all of her bird companions. 
Between the birds, it reads, "Escape the Cage" in measured and aligned formal white text. 

The birds are (top to bottom, left to right): 
Meteion (Starbird), Kurimu (cactuar green company-issued chocobo), Lili (Nymian Uolasapa), Sombre (Micro Crow), Alaula (Skallic Uolosapa), Regalo (Quetzal), and Kaimana (Uolosapa) 

Mitan has dark grey-brown hair with deep green highlights in a wavy bob with bangs and the top half pulled into a bun to the back, almandine red-brown eyes, freckles, a dark nose, bent pointed ears, red-orange tone cheek rouge, and red-brown lipstick.  
She wears a green and yellow leaf-like feather headband, brass circular bottom-rimmed frames, brass dangling earrings, a black high-collar top under a beige tunic with indigo floral filigree with green leaves and a brown arm pouch, a green scarf, a brown leather belt with mossy gold filigree and attached satchels, brown arm wraps held with metal clips coming from rolled sleeves, a gold black pearl ring, an overhanging green skirt-cape with a lattice woven netting of fabric, a deep brown pleated maxi skirt, and brown boots. Her staff appears to be a large bandage-wrapped branch with drums and a scarf attached to the head.

My lady Ivette Murray (Rohan's mom) is about to celebrate her 50th nameday next month, and if I may say, she has aged like fine wine alongside her love, Jeanne. Shout-out to you once more for loving me across so many of our OCs. Our grannies are ever so lovely~ ❤️🖤. #wolquestion | #wolqotd
Ivette Murray, a gray-haired duskwight matriarch in all her quiet glory. Ivette is smiling during the last Rising celebrations. Ivette, with her true second chance at love, Jeanne Cereza, a snow-white-haired viera woman. They smile so brightly at each other on the day of their eternal bonding.

If Dawntrail has no fans, I swear I'm dead! What a lovely journey! Not without bumps in the road, but I will never forget the thrill of helping Wuk Lamat become Dawnservent before we walked a new sunlit road ourselves. Summer is over, but our Godless adventure has just begun! 🌤️❄️ #MSQspoilers
Rohan, a rosy-eyed half-elezen, wears the garb of a rosy viper, with the crystal of Azem as a necklace. His gaze is steely as the key of Ethos levitates before him, aglow in the sun's light as it activates. Rohan watches as the magic traveler's road stretches out before him. Now framed by the dawn's light, Rohan walks on to his next adventure on the frozen forth. Bereft of the Gods' guidance, the future rests in his and his fellow traveler's hands.

Of all my characters, Rohan is the most "sun-coded," being a devotee of Azeyma. He especially took to sunsets as a time to reflect and be with loved ones since his adventures in Endwalker, and has carried that tradition well into Dawntrail. He plans to enjoy many more to be certain~🌅 #wolqotd

Literally ANYTHING with roses for Rohan. O'that ye can be certain~🌹
Rohan stands amidst the royal promenade in full parade plate worthy of a Sultansworn Paladin. His armor is pearlescent and stamped with ruby-red roses.Rohan stands in a haze of impossible blue roses, dressed in fine pearlescent armor that flows like ancient robes, holding a shining sword and shield aloft. Rohan stands amidst a field of roses, hoisting a golden snake-inlaid short sword across his shoulder as a red rose blinder obscures his left eye. Rohan, framed by roses, draws a rapier with a rose for the handguard as the sun sets behind him across the Ul'dahn skyline.

Zenos for WoL Rohan is the perfect foil as the battle-hungry nihilist. He gave Rohan his scar in Endwalker and remains someone Rohan couldn't save. He wishes he could've shown him that there is MORE to life than battle. Alas, he remains Rohan's greatest failure in his mind. #wolqotd / #wolquestion
