Oh yeah! I'm gonna be at GATEway FATE! Find me around (almost certainly with @ethryaswiftstep.bsky.social ) and I'll be delighted to trade stickers with you. I'm really looking forward to seeing friends there!

They really don't have one. At best, they look mildly disinterested.

Hello new followers! I'm an avid XIV player and roleplayer, and this is where I show off and talk about my dear little healer, Vinalo Mabunalo! I mostly post little lore bits and gposes, but sometimes some other stuff too! You might even see some stories I've written from time to time.

The first dungeon IS at 51! It's just that it's technically part of an aether current quest.

I made a portrait for Aarna's party boat glam and now I can't stop laughing every time I look at it.

A portrait of a tanned Au ra woman wearing oversized sunglasses and grinning.

This man, Zuzufemo Sasafemo, met the young homeless girl by sheer chance, and quickly took a shine to her (and her tendency to talk shit, even at a young age). It was not long after that Aarna found herself with a new father. She loves him very much, even with every bit of teasing she sends his way.

A Lalafellin man looking at the viewer with a snarky grin on his face. He has tanned skin, brown hair, orange eyes, and a dark nose.

Botanical Healer @vinalo.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

I realize I've yet to formally introduce Aarna. Time to change that. This is Aarna Fachu, a Thavnairian Raen. She was orphaned at a young age, only finding family when a Lalafellin man from Limsa Lominsa decided to settle down on the tropical island nation after years of sailing. 1/?

An Au ra woman with white scales and horns, looking up at the viewer. She's wearing a layered blue garment, with a sheathed katana at her hip. She has tanned skin and orange-brown hair.

Some slightly mixed feelings on a couple of the new racial customizations (removing the Viera bun nose shading is for cowards), but FINALLY decoupling Au ra horns and faces is a looooong time coming. Very glad to see it. However, Aarna is: Already Perfect. 🦎

An Auri woman with white scales and horns, tanned skin, and brown hair, looking off to the side. She has a blue flower in her hair.

Sonic why you gotta break the alignment??

A stack of various Switch game cases. One has its title circled in green to show its alignment not matching any of the others.

Botanical Healer @vinalo.bsky.social · 26/06/2026

I *do* have other color glams, but it's no secret that green is the major color for Vinalo.

Botanical Healer @vinalo.bsky.social · 18/06/2026

I've most certainly missed the boat on this, but have my most precious bean anyway!

010

Botanical Healer @vinalo.bsky.social · 03/06/2026

One of things that I often try to get across about their voice (because I imagine it's not the assumption), is that Vinalo has a relatively deep, sorta scratchy voice. I've yet to find anything resembling a voice claim, however. So it goes!

Botanical Healer @vinalo.bsky.social · 08/05/2026

Though I've functionally retired the look, there's still something charming about the Vinalo Classic that I used through almost the entire ShB era and well into EW. It was their primary outfit in RP land for a long time, too.
