My new project started out on the idea of fleeting moments, and the root of fleeting is fiata. Fia is short for that, but it is also an actual Italian name, meaning fire, which suits her quite well in my opinion.
Fia is around the age of 13, and is a curious and inquisitive girl. She enjoys exploring the forest and oceanside. She lives in a post-civilization world and currently has a nomadic lifestyle. Having turned 13 she has now left her family and learning about the world before she finds a place to settle herself. She prefers to set site near large bodies of water.
Fia is hardworking when she needs to be, but otherwise she enjoys spending her time observing nature and exploring. She especially enjoys swimming and searching lakebeds or tidal pools. She often encounters artifacts from the 'old world' and may spend her afternoon investigating them. While she enjoys taking things apart to figure out how they may have worked, she is not very mechanically inclined and doesn't spend time trying to make them function in the way they were intended. If she finds a piece that she can use practically (such as her bicycle spoke she hangs fish on) she will keep it on site, but unless it is particularly useful or light, she will not take it with her.
Fia's generation was born post-civ, and only retains ideas of the old culture through her parents or generations that lived in that time. Fia's family originated from a rural fishing village.
