A witty sky pirate with impenetrable walls, Shae finds herself swept away in the currents of Princess Ashelia B'nargin Dalmasca's Resistance when she tries to steal from the Rabanastre's palace treasury the very same night as a simple thief and a pair of adept pirates.
Carried on with promises of treasure worth enough gil to pay back her debts and repair her airship, she tags along for the ride in hopes of getting long-awaited revenge on Vayne Carudas Solidor, a man she appears to possess endless ties to. At the end of the day, all Balthier really wants is some answers.
