To whoever designed the new NPC Lilja

[Iscah]

Now that people bring it up, I feel a little silly for not finding her suspicious sooner.

She does kinda give off that "Spy in plain sight" vibe between the eccentric get-up, being a foreigner, and being a WoL fangirl.

I didn't think of it either until people suggested it here. I did notice the odd gloves/boots at the time and chalked it up to "new person without full uniform yet" but now I'm wondering...

Of course, at a game level she may just not have gloves because you can't equip them and false nails together.

We do know that the Empire 100% has spies watching over Ganagos.

But not Lilja. Lilja is a saint. My intuition tells me this, and it is never wrong. Except about that one clown that gave me the stink-eye, but I don't count that time.

I like Lilja, she seems like an honest to a fault type but wants to help when she can. I wish we do get to shake her hand someday.

As for her being a garlean spy I doubt it, information doesn't line up too well and she would be useless for the IVth legion unless Cid/Jesse depatch her to the camp, my money is on the guy in the corner of the zone looking out to sea and saying nothing but ocean as far as I can see, when there are two very clear islands you can see.

I like her. A shame she's a spy.

I had red flashing lights all over in my head when she offered a handshake.

I wonder if she makes it to the MSQ in some way?

Gyaru is/was a popular Japanese subculture of fashion and style in the 90's-00's. It has evolved and changed from its earlier stages which look like Blackface, but the key basics are dark/tanned skin, blonde hair and colorful, crazy nails and bright flashy clothing, usually quite skimpy to be a complete contrast to the traditional Japanese beauty.
The shades though, give off peak Galo Sengen vibes.

Huh... she looked just like another overdressed whackjob to Ifalna.

Interesting thought about her being a spy.

[TheRogueX]

I.. don't get why anyone thinks she is a spy? She just gave off wacky absent-minded new girl vibes to me. The fact that she's a WoL fangirl doesn't make her suspicious either; given the nature of the WoL in Eorzea and beyond, they'd be a household name by now and would most definitely have fans (and haters) all over the place. In fact, us not seeing very many of them is even more suspicious. It's like someone is purposefully trying to hide our accomplishments from the people.

The nails and lips selection is bad, i never liked those nails on anyone.

[Avidria]

Man I came here like aww we have a fangirl and y'all are like hmm definitely a spy

Well, she is a Viera.
