In the end, Myste sacrificed himself by dissolving his sense of self, becoming a shield of pure darkness that protected Sajyn for just long enough to defeat Emet-Selch.

With all the light wardens defeated, and their aether turning your character monstrous, how did they remain calm enough to function, and see the journey to its end?

Sajyn is canonically left-handed. She’s actually tricked a few opponents who think she’s right-handed, which has won her fights quite a few times.
As a leftie myself, I just wanted to pretend my lizard was a little more like me, even if the game wishes to spite me forever.

Sajyn was basically the only Xaela in Eorzea (minus family) as far as she knew for most of her life. She actually got teased for it as a kid (before she went feral and kicked those kids’ asses).
Even then, until meeting Yugiri, Sajyn may as well have been the only Au Ra on the continent

Has your WoL/OC ever been just clearly out of place? Somewhere they weren't exactly expected to be?
Examples:
Male Viera in Rak'taki female Viera village?
Covered in blood at a feast or party?
Standing in Ishgard in a bikini?
Ohio?
A noble on a pirate ship in Limsa?

She didn’t have any visions until after the dream at the start of ARR, though she did start experiencing some more subtle effects, like combat precognition.

The Calamity took Sajyn’s family from her, leaving her a hollow vessel that spent the next few years searching for the next fight until she found something too much for her.
However, it was also when Sajyn first awakened the Echo, but the “vision” part of it wouldn’t come until ARR.

Sajyn sucks at magic. Besides the lightning that augments her attacks and the DRK stuff, she’s got nothing.
By that virtue, she’s also incapable of sitting down and studying anything for extended periods of time. Unless it’s one of her novels, she’ll be asleep in minutes.

Not at first. Pre-Calamity, it was Sajyn, her parents and her little brother. After they died, she was alone.
After discovering her mother’s family among the Oronir, though, she now has a grandmother, three aunts and uncles, nine cousins of various ages, and several nieces and nephews.

In a way, yes, as Sajyn realizes just before fighting him.
Zenos is Sajyn if she’d never met the Scions, never sought connection with others, never dared to dream of anything beyond the thrill of the next fight.
Yet still, she feels that thrill just as he does.
“That, I can’t deny.”
