Illyia likes to think of herself as a goofy Hyuricane of fun. She's professional yet playful, a tomboy yet sophisticated, fancy yet humble. She'll show up in an elegant dress, then be the one to order up two pints and challenge you to a chugging contest.

She grew up a Lominsan farmgirl, though her life has blossomed in numerous directions. Her main day-to-day is being the proprietor of Vonawesome Vineyards, one of the wineries that comes together to make up the town of Wineport, near Costa del Sol. Illyia will refer to herself as a vintner, a winemaker, though nowadays her role is primarily to travel and meet new people, regularly setting up arrangements to see her bottles served in more and more places. She's had the good fortune of making some interesting friends over the years, and embracing new hobbies through their tutelage - Master Holyfist, of Ul'dah's Pugilists' Guild, and Master Lyngsath, Head Chef of Limsa Lominsa's famous Bismarck restaurant.

 

It's that very culinary training she happily brings with her to the Little Bee Cafe, eager to make all sorts of things for all sorts of people, and hopefully make some new friends in the process! (and maybe overhear talk of a chance for an adventure or two)
