Nashmeira Nashmeira II is the current Empress of Aht Urhgan and the 16th ruler of the Majaab Dynasty . Daughter of the previous Emperor , Jalzahn , and his wife , Empress Jubleel , she is also the younger sister of Grand Vizier Razfahd . She is a non - playable character and one of the major protagonists of the " Final Fantasy XI " expansion pack " " . Nashmeira ' s throne room features heavy tapestries that conceal the Empress from inquisitive eyes : she can only be heard addressing her visitors . While this appears to be proper court etiquette , it is also convenient for the Empress ' own purposes . Posing as Aphmau , the court Puppetmaster , she is able to participate directly in her country ' s affairs without revealing her status . The alias is also a necessary cover designed to protect her , as she is still very young . She uses one of her automatons , Mnejing , to imitate her voice when an audience with the Empress is required . Profile . Appearance . Nashmeira is a young hume girl , stated to be " almost sixteen " . She has blue eyes and blonde hair , which she wears in braids behind her head . She has two similar outfits , a white one and a red one . The former is worn inside the palace , while the latter is worn outside . Both outfits consist of a short embroidered jacket , Oriental trousers , an ornate belt , and shoes with pointed , upturned toes . The main difference is that the red outfit includes a laced undershirt , while the white outfit includes a black top which leaves her stomach exposed . Personality . Nashmeira ' s youth is apparent in her enthusiastic and sometimes rash behavior . Nevertheless , she cares deeply for those dear to her , as well as her country . The events of the " Treasures of Aht Uhrgan " storyline allow her to mature , gain confidence and a sense of responsibility , both as an individual and as a ruler . Story . Nashmeira ' s mother , Empress Jubleel , was a skilled Puppetmaster and provided both of her children with their own Automatons : Ovjang for Nashmeira and Mnejing for Razfahd . However , the latter had no interest in studying the arts of the Puppetmaster , and thus Nashmeira inherited both Automatons . When she was six years old , her mother died , and she was sent to the Walahra Temple in Aht Urhgan Whitegate for upbringing . Her sojourn in the temple eventually enabled both Mnejing and Ovjang to speak upon her command , as Jubleel had based their behavioral patterns on the Gordeus , one of the artifacts contained within the temple . At some point in time , Razfahd suffered a near - fatal accident which forced him to accept a transfusion of beastman blood , thus becoming a Blue Mage . His father considered that this rendered him unfit to rule and therefore named Nashmeira as his successor . After Jalzahn ' s death , Nashmeira was brought back to the palace and crowned , although Razfahd maintained a strong influence over her , using her youth and inexperience to manipulate her for his own ends , namely the reawakening of Alexander . However , Nashmeira was also genuinely concerned for the welfare of her country , which was suffering from repeated beastman raids . She created the Salaheem ' s Sentinels company to recruit mercenaries to defend her homeland , all the while attempting to investigate the causes of the attacks under the guise of Aphmau . At the conclusion of the " Treasures of Aht Uhrgan " storyline , Nashmeira is officially re - crowned , this time in a public ceremony .
