#ffxiv screenshots#vavara kir vara#i hate to break the 3 shot paradigm i'd made but these two were perfect tonally next to eachother - i'll save the third for the last one#after hearing various folktales around the various fey spirits which took shelter in woods - i felt i more or less had to apply that lens-#-to the warriors of light i'm most familiar with#there are better examples who embody the ash and oak trees than the WoL's i could grab easily#like i think ms illya skawi is a perfect candidate for the Ash tree but she's not mine so i wasn't bout to overstep those kinds of bounds!#would have been rude of me to do that! But I Still Can't Help But Consider The Other More Seasoned WoL's Fitting Within This Symbolism!#also thorne trees are a little more complicated than the others referenced#they're associated with fairies that were outright hostile and malevolent#BUT! those same fairies are distinctly positioned as guardians of nature and the arcane meant to keep man away from their wards#they're not strictly -evil- they're just really not something you want to fuck with#and they have strict rules and codes they must operate by#not to mention the tree itself is associated with hope since it can endure an obscene amount of punishment and still regrow from one branch#which felt honestly more than perfect for vavara#though i do need to find a new outfit for her i think#i've worn the bozjan coat for a really long time at this point
