S/o to @destinim.bsky.social for being G'raha for this week! (I had a lot of fun taking these with you, and for yesterday the shots you got were beautiful) Today I decided to go back to one of my favorite gposes with Allethea and G'raha - I canon that she tells her side of the events of 5.3.

Another picture of Allethea and G'raha. Allethea has her hands in a shrug while G'raha looks shocked.

Day 7: Free day After G'raha's return to The Source, the pair snuck out to have a picnic date in Mor Dhona. G'raha asked her to fill in some of the gaps of the events that led to the confrontation with Elidibus... #wolgrahaweek #wolgrahaweek2026 #wolgraha #gpose #vanillagpose #FFXIV #FF14

Allethea (a Hyur in black Dark Knight's armor) and G'raha sit talking during a picnic in sunny Mor Dhona. Behind them is both The Crystal Tower and the sleeping Keeper of the Lake.

Day 6: Greeting/Goodbye Allethea had one last stop to make before embarking on the ship to the Tural. (S/O to @destinim.bsky.social for not only playing G'raha, but for several of these excellent shots) #wolgrahaweek #wolgrahaweek2026 #wolgraha #gpose #vanillagpose #FFXIV #FF14

Day 5: Adventure/Relaxation After the Scions "dissolved", Allethea made good on the promise she made to G'raha in Ultima Thule - a tour of Ishgard, recounting her stories from the Dragonsong War. #wolgrahaweek #wolgrahaweek2026 #wolgraha #gpose #vanillagpose #FFXIV #FF14

Day 4: Bitter/Sweet After their return from Ultima Thule, the pair snuck out to The Last Stand for some very needed tea and sweets. (s/o as always to @destinim.bsky.social for playing G'raha!) #wolgrahaweek #wolgrahaweek2026 #wolgraha #gpose #vanillagpose #FFXIV #FF14

Allethea (dressed in an Ala Mhigan shawl) and G'raha find themselves having a late tea at the Last Stand. Their table is covered in plates and a tea cart sits between them. Allethea's eyes are closed as she cradles her tea, and G'raha holds an an apple as he observes her.

Allethea's eyes are now opened, a faint smile on her face. G'raha takes a bite of his apple

A shot reminiscent of the endpaper cover on the Exarch's version of Heavensward. Here, Allethea is depicted as the perfect lone Ishgardian hero. She is raising her lance at some foe off the canvas, her lips parted in a battle cry and is posed *just so* in front of an Ishgardian banner. Truly an inspiration to generations later.

An ominious shot of the Exarch. His hands are up as if casting some sort of spell, and all color is washed out. A perfect depiction of a villian in plain sight

The truth, which is much further between the ends. Allethea is reaching a hand out to the Exarch, her face writ with concern. "Let me help you"

Allethea Melling @lightismycopilot.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

#wolG'rahaweek2026 is finally here! Day 1: Awake/Asleep As Allethea ascended the tower with the Exarch's soul vessel, she silently prayed that it would worked. In those moments as G'raha stirred, she forgot to breathe. #wolgrahaweek|#wolgraha|#gpose|#vanillagpose|#FFXIV|#FF14

Allethea Melling, a Highlander Hyur with brown hair and a scar across her left cheek, reaches her hand out to a sleeping G'raha Tia in Sycrus Tower. Her expression is one of worry.

Another angle of Allethea, this one from behind G'raha. You can clearly see her worried expression, and she seems to have her lips parted in a silent plea for the soul vessel to work.

And her current hairstyle, as of Endwalker and beyond. I have yet to find another hairstyle I like better so far!

A shot of Allethea Melling at The End of the Universe, the light flaring behind her. Her hair is now pulled back, and two pieces frame her face.

Allethea stands at the prow of the ship, equipped as a Viper. Her hair is pulled back into a low ponytail with two pieces framing her face

Something I started doing during my NG+ playthrough is to have Allethea's hairstyle evolve. ARR

Allethea Melling at the very start of her journey as an adventurer. The brunette Highlander Hyur is approaching a crystal that seeps out darkness under the Guardian Tree

Allethea later on during A Ream Reborn. She now wears the rainments of a Warrior and a red viola corsage has replaced the asters in her hair.

Allethea and G'raha start dating after the events of 5.3!

You mean Allethea's beloved mount and companion, Comet? AKA the most perfect chocobo who NEVER participated in Shenanigans, EVER.

Allethea looks aghast at her chocobo Comet, who has somehow managed to adopt a stray chick in the minute she turned her back

Allethea Melling @lightismycopilot.bsky.social · 06/06/2026

Nothing like a perfect day at the beach!

A Hyur woman (Allethea) in a bathing suit stands in the water grinning mischievously at a soaking wet G'raha Tia. Water drops from her splash glitter in the air

G'raha Tia splashes Allethea back as she continues to laugh.

Allethea covers her face and turns away from G'raha as he continues to splash her back.

The pair hide under a dock as the rain comes down. They huddle by a campfire and talk

Allethea Melling @lightismycopilot.bsky.social · 17/04/2026

How about four pictures instead? Comet, Allethea's chocobo, is both her beloved companion and often a source of mischief in her travels-he gets into Shenanigans. He also is shameless about begging for treats (especially plums or O'gohmoro berries!)

Allethea scolds her chocobo Comet for getting into someone's vineyard (Sometime around A Realm Reborn)

Allethea is aghast that Comet has *somehow* adopted a stray chick. (Heavensward)

Allethea resignedly follows after Comet as he chases down an enemy quitting the fight (Stormblood)

Push comes to shove, Comet is one of Allethea's loyal battle allies. Here they fight a golem in Labyrinthos (Endwalker)

Day 10: Gold Saucer "What are you doing up here little one? Let's get you down safe" #Febhyurary2026 | #Febhyurary| #HYUR| #Gposers

While in the Gold Saucer, Allethea finds a chocobo chick stranded on one of the mountains

Day 9: Heal The main downside of being the Warrior of Light? The recovery after the heroics. Especially if you are as averse to the infirmary as Allethea is. But the Scions and the Exarch insisted that she be checked out by the Chirugeons of Spagyrics #Febhyurary2026 | #Febhyurary| #HYUR| #Gposers

Allethea sits on an infirmary bed, her hand on her temple as she feels all the hurts of battle

Allethea sitting on the same infirmary bed, this time with her eyes downcast. Alas, stuck on bed rest.

Day 8: Mount Meet Comet - a chocobo fleet of foot and fierce in a fight. He also happens to be the silliest creature to walk Hydalen. And he's one of Allethea's dearest companions (aside from the Scions) #FFXIV | #Hyur | #febhyurary | #gposers

Allethea chides her chocobo Comet for grazing on grapes in a La Noscean Vineyard.

Allethea looks surprised as she finds that her Chocobo comet has adopted a stray hatchling - again?!?!

Allethea strides behind Comet, annoyed as he chases off after a creature which has decided to quit the fight

Allethea and Comet fight side by side against a golem in Labyrinthos

Day 7: Technology. "They told me these machines accepted Eorzean Gil. They lied to me! Also, these machines are sturdy!" #FFXIV | #Hyur | #febhyurary | #gposers

Allethea stops by one of the energy drink vending machines and presses the button

The vending machine took her money and didn't give Allethea a drink. Hmmm, maybe a good slap will dislodge it?

The vending machine still doesn't give her the drink. Allethea draws her twin swords to thrash the machine, she's done playing around.

As it turns out, these vending machines are damage resistant. Allethea is on the ground looking confused and embarrassed.

Allethea Melling @lightismycopilot.bsky.social · 07/02/2026

And an bonus shot as well. (Allethea hesitates during her retelling) G'raha: "Remember back at the Annex when I said I wanted to help share your burden? I still mean it." Allethea: "I know. But this is no satchel. I don't want to overburden you." G'raha: "Try me."

Allethea's head lowers as she continues her retelling. G'raha looks at her, as if to tell her he's there

Day 6: Vacation "Let's go visit Ishgard. Properly. I promised after all." (Thank you so much @destinim.bsky.social for playing G'raha!) #FFXIV | #HYUR| #wolgraha

Allethea and G'raha start their tour of Ishgard in front of the venerable House Fortemps

As Allethea's recounting of the Dragonsong War continues, the pair find themselves walking in the Brume

A difficult stop to make, but the pair ascend to the roof of the Vault

One last stop, at the grave of an beloved friend

Day 5: Music The Minstrel's Ballad, or... "Yes, it was bad, but here's how it could have been worse." *Allethea takes a beat to think.* "I'd still win. Here's how..." #FFXIV | #HYUR

Allethea and The Wandering Minstrel are talking after he sings her a version of her trials

Allethea thinks on the situation the Minstrel proposed. "Hm. Definitely sounds worse than what happened."

Allethea has an idea! "...but not impossible to win. You see ..."

Allethea comes to the conclusion she and her companions can win "And after that! Victory is all but assured!"

Allethea started in Gridania! She'd only passed through Gridania early in her career before the Calamity, but now restarting her career she went there again. Her adoptive father was a former Wood Wailer and a now a botanist, so she had a tall reputation to live up to when she joined up.

Allethea strides throw the gates of Gridania for the first time

At the end of a busy day of adventuring, Allethea is deep in thought

First picture, I wanted to get some pictures of Allethea pre-ARR. The second one, I so deeply loved the grin Allethea gave during the Rogue quest so I had to go back in NG+ to capture it

On a whim, I decided to take a Starlight photo with the lvl 1 yesterday. Fare thee well lvl 1 . #Lvl1Farewell
