—  Harriette  Dubois  —

“Real darkness has love for a face. The first death is in the heart.”

  For Your Entertainment    : for fellow gladiators and those in debtHarriette is a frequent contender in the Coliseum for theatrical exhibition matches, often taking the role of a masked villain. Those with a keen eye for combat may notice her fighting style echoes that of Ishgard’s Temple Knights.Members of Ul’dah’s upper crust may notice a blonde Elezen in the employ of Rorasho Rasho, the debt collector. While this bodyguard is more likely to indulge at the bar, Harriette also serves as a combat instructor in martial disciplines and as a sparring partner, when requested.Are you a peer, adversary, or, gods forbid, an adoring fan? Perhaps you are an unfortunate customer of Rorasho’s loans, and Rorasho has sent Harriette to reclaim her pound of flesh.  A Drink, a Drink, a Drink    : for debauchees and (un)kindly practitioners of medicineHarriette tries to stay in an altered state of mind. A notorious carouser and terror to any establishment serving alcohol in Ul’dah, she is just as likely to carve a trail of misbehavior anywhere she goes. Harriette’s frequenting of somnus dens and other places of ill repute often puts her in contact with the criminal underworld outside of the Bloodsands. Are you someone who has crossed paths with her in these dens of iniquity?With imbibing comes the perpetual search for remedies, and Harriette’s willingness to stress the limits of her constitution often see her visiting clinics and doctors of varying character. Are you a generous soul offering their services to one in need, or a quack needing a test subject for their latest con?  Salt of the Earth    : for odd jobs and endsThe Gladiator's Guild loans out their fighters to those in need. In the rare instances where Harriette is sober, she seems a different person entirely: one used to commandeering field operations, tracking, and, most disturbingly, acquiring information from targets.While a certain degree of callousness might be expected for mercenary work, Harriette’s volatile disposition may raise a few eyebrows to her competency. Rest assured, Harriette will always finish the job — one way or another.

  The Devil You Know    : for those who have embraced their inner darkHarriette wears a curious pendant of a single talon of black onyx clasped at her throat, often covered by a larger necklace or cloth. Observing Harriette reveals an unhinged quality about her movements – teeth grinding through her smiles, the unusually forceful jabs of her knives, a hollow stare that lingers for too long when she thinks she isn’t being watched.Those aware of the powers of the Abyss can find its stain on her. Do you mean to provoke her, or use her for your own ends? Be forewarned: this could be a double-edged sword — for both you and her.  Jamais Vu    : for those involved with the Dragonsong WarHarriette has much to answer for her past. Those hailing from Coerthas or Dravania will be viewed with suspicion. Those hailing from Ishgard, associated with or freely claiming allegiance to the Holy See, Temple Knights, any noble house or affiliate thereof will be met with open hostility to the point of paranoid delusion.Jobs that involves traveling to any of these regions will be answered with vehement denial and threats from Harriette for breaking the terms of her contract.In Harriette lies a terrible compulsion to tear things apart, as a child pulls apart each segment of a butterfly for closer examination. Perhaps you were a victim of hers, a perpetrator against her, or a relative of someone who was. Do you demand answers for her crimes?
