25. Cynosure A painter comes to the Castle to immortalize the Marshall family archiveofourown.org/works/93312631 #FFxivWrite · #FFxivWrite2026 · #Voidboundsjourney

A familiy portrait painting.

Beatrice, a midlander hyur, is standing in the background her hand on the back of the chair where her two children, Vaelin and Mephilia, are sitting. We can see her wedding ring. She cleary looks regal and noble, with her wavy rosy long hair falling on her shoulders. The greenish hue of her eyes seems to stare at the painter.

On her side is Altair, her husband, a midlander hyur with red. He's got a big grin, proud of his family.

On the chair are sitting Vaelin and Mephilia. They are in their teenage years, and almost look like twins. Vaelin is holding his sister's should with one hand. Mephilia smiles awkwardly, because she's never at ease being stared at.

They are in front of a huge library, all wearing noble attires. The screenshots looks like an old paiting.

“Care to join me for a ride on this beautiful day?” she asked with a smirk
“Me? On this death machine? I don’t think so.” replied the red head, her head shaking from left to right.
“Oh, so the great Mephilia can muster inspiring words and fight Death's personification itself, but is scared of a mere bike? Come on, have some faith and hop on it with your best friend~”

23. Egress There are all sorts of nightmares. archiveofourown.org/works/93248506 #FFxivWrite · #FFxivWrite2026 · #Voidboundsjourney

Left, left, left. Again and again. For the red head was told that if you wanted to leave such a daze, you should always follow the same direction. But every time, she would come back to the sordid spectacle she had left at first. The people laughing under the light. There was no escape to this, no matter how far she ran, no matter what direction she took… And she kept getting hurt more and more without ever finding an end to this.

22. Train A sword was so much easier to wield than aether... archiveofourown.org/works/93128696 #FFxivWrite · #FFxivWrite2026 · #Voidboundsjourney

It was really a weird thing, to draw aether not from you but from the stars above, enhancing your magic with divination cards… Not something she was used to. When you wielded a blade, you just had to carry it and move. It was… natural. Instinctive.

21. Better Late Than Never Events lead Mephilia to say things she should have said way earlier. archiveofourown.org/works/93077166 #FFxivWrite · #FFxivWrite2026 · #Voidboundsjourney

Mephilia sighed. Loudly. A very very long sigh. None of this were toning down her annoyment. How could one be that stubborn and STUPID after what they went through? That was one mystery only the Prince could unravel, was he able to unravel anything at all. Every single day she had lived with this burden, the fact she left him without even saying goodbye, telling herself how much better she could have done and yet… All he could muttered was despicable words. And she was tired of this. But she remembered her call with Meteor from the day before. “But first, set things with Xui the way you want to, to be sure you can move on tomorrow while being at peace with yesterday.” So she would say it. Here and now. The red hair got back in front of Xui, her mismatched eyes diving in his.

She listened to every gossip he had to share – though she couldn’t remember half of the names, nor the houses, nor did she really cared at all – but she liked the melody of his voice, the glimmer in his eyes whenever he was talking about this. He was made for this, he was thriving and it was heartwarming.

Returning to Thavnair, she asked permission to Vrtra to access the portal at Alzadaal’s Legacy once more, for she wanted to visit Troïa again. Since everything that had transpired after their last travel there, time has passed but she never truly returned yet. He accepted knowing Mephilia would fend for herself with ease and so she hopped onto the rift, aiming for the castle.

A red haired Hyur is sat on a white haired Viera, she's holding his hand and caressing his cheek. He's very flustered. She's wearing the omega fending set, and he's wearing the Etoile dancer set, both in black.
She looks fondly at him.

In the background we can see radz-at-han in vivid colors.

12. Fusion An unexpected gift. archiveofourown.org/works/92528751 #FFxivWrite · #FFxivWrite2026 · #Voidboundsjourney

Still, she would honor her host’s request and so she grabbed the garb meant for her – sighing in relief to not have to wear those horrible dresses once again. It was still a fancy outfit, but at least it was practical which make her wonder where they were going today?

Mephilia, a red head hyur, is standing back to back with Meteor, the warrior of Light. She's wearing the Fortemps Knight armor, with the shield of the house Fortemps, a black shield with a red unicorn on it. She's holding a sword in her other hand.

Meteor is in his warrior outfit, a mix of leather, beast's fur and armor, his axe resting on his shoulder.

The back ground is the Afh Afah Amphitheater, with the frozen stands behind them. They're looking in opposite directions.

Mephilia, a short red-head hyur, is hiding in a corridor. She's wearing the Fortemps' armor as she was just out of duty. Her face betrays her sadness, a hand on her heart.

On the room at the background, we can see Meteor standing in front of Haurchefant, sitting on the bed, as he's scolding him for the dangers he put himself in.

07. Ignorance is Bliss archiveofourown.org/works/92280976 #FFxivWrite · #FFxivWrite2026 · #Voidboundsjourney

The memories she had gained, the stories she had heard… were they worth it? Instinctively, her hand met with the headband hiding her left eye. After all this time… She did unravel it. Her past. Her origins. But at what cost? How could one process everything that has transpired in a few days?

The sky was purple, just like in Mephilia’s vision. But it was… Calm. Serene. Still. Not as agitated as in her visions. The building at the horizon felt… Awfully familiar. Again, the castle was filled with ravenous enemies that were soon… dissipated, as death didn’t seem to be a concept anymore in here. It wasn’t until they reached a room full of portraits that the scythe of the red-haired fell onto the floor, the sound echoing in the room. Her orange eyes were glued to the portrait of a beautiful woman, with long and silky reddish hair. She looked regal in her outfit, holding a scepter, and looking at the audience with such confidence…

03. Echelon It started because she was saved... archiveofourown.org/works/91966956 #FFxivWrite · #FFxivWrite2026 · #Voidboundsjourney

How time flies. Few years ago she was the one being saved by a Fortemps squadron. Given a second chance. A home. A purpose. All she ever wanted was to give back to those people. So at first, she helped at the nursery. At the stables. Lurking when other knights would do their training. Mimicking their gestures when she was alone.

Her steps echoing in the open corridors of the capital, Mephilia still was nervous. The last time she was part of a military branch was in her teenage years… Of course she could handle herself, fight her own fights and lead as well as follow a squadron should she have to. Her sense of camaraderie wasn’t lost. It was… Weakened. But every time she closed her eyes, white strands of hair and turquoise eyes would remind her that everything would be okay.

Taking a few steps towards the desk, the paladin reached for her pocket. Her hand caught the crimson crystal in it, her palm closing onto it. She sighed, closing her eyes. For as long as she remembers, she always held dearly to it. And just as usual, the crystal was conveying such a warm and reassuring feeling… It took her long seconds before she let go of it, putting in on the desk in a tud.

Here my thread for the #FFxivWrite2026! I'll give my best to complete it and I hope you'll like what you'll learn about Mephilia's lore. Looking forward to see what you all have to share as well!

A red head Hyur is standing in front the sea, fireworks in the early night sky in the background. She's wearing a black armor with a red cape and looking at the viewer, smiling. the words "ffxivwrite" and "2026" are written on golden on each side of the character.

Mephilia is holding a book and smiling to someone off camera.

Her red hair are all on her right shoulder, with only her bangs and a few locks framing her face. She wears a red dress that shows her shoulders.

A red hair Hyur is standing. The camera captures her from below, stretching as she's looking away from camera. The sun is above her, letting a ray of light running through the portrait. She's wearing a red one-piece swimsuit, showing her ribs. Her hair are braided on her bangs, and her ponytail and wild locks are blowed by the wind.

It is not often that she goes to places like night clubs, but when she does... She likes casual outfits ~ And lace. Mephilia loves that more than she would admit it. #Hyur • #Midlander • #GPOSERS • #SeductiveSunday

A hyur is sitting, her red hair tied in a fluffly ponytail with one brad in it, and some red locks framing her smiling face. Her eyes are out of field. She is wearing an organza black bolero on top of a lacey dress, showing a LOT of her cleavage. There are red laces to match her corset, and a see-through black lace on top of that.

She also wears a black choker with silver pendants.

The lightning is redish.

🦋 THAT SHE DOES. Too many of them to squeeze in one post, but everything's on the alt, for the curious ones! To her, every scar is either a story to tell, or a reminder of the lessons she learned the hard way... She does not hide them, nor does she boast.

A turn around of Mephilia. She's got an athletic body, scars on her shoulders, belly, and a big burn on her left arm. Her red hair are sometimes tiied in a ponytail for better view. She has mismatched eyes, one orange and the other a lighter yellow, because of the aether she was ripped off.

Her face is marked on the left cheek with a wound in healing, caused by a chakram. Though she could evade a fatal blow, the weapon still cut through her face.

Her left shoulder is marked by a claymore that pinned her down.
Her right shoulder is marked by a wyverne that attacked her from above, leaving scars both on the front and back of her shoulder, when its claws thrusted in.

Her left arm is covered in a burn from her hand to her elbow. She protected a friend dear to her from a fireball cast, and ended up unable to use that arm for a long time. She can no longer use a shield, for the strength in this arm has weakened considerably. Even with rehabilitation, she won't recover the strength she had before.

On her right flank is the scars of a bullet - a stupid thing she did when she was younger, after she met a Miqo'te named Danaheim. They asked themselves if Mephilia could be quicker than a bullet... Spoiler; no, even thought she did manage to cut the bullet in two, the other half still lodged in her flank.

On her left flank are the scars of a feline paw she got in Thavnair, while protecting a young girl.

Finally, we can see scars on her lower belly that are also visible on her lower back, since she was pinned against a wall by wings as sharp as blades. Though she was lucky enough to avoid paralysis, she is now crippled and will limp for the rest of her days, needing a cane on the worst ones. She won't be able to run as fast as before, and it will be only in "emergencies"

Her eye turned to Ardyn with an apolegetic smile. "Ah, sorry, I didn't realized." At least it made him laugh and he didn't seem bothered by it - nor like any offense was taken. As they continue their visit, Mephilia was lost in thoughts for a moment. If she were to stay here-
