WIND-UP NOSTALGIA is a light roleplay octet band in Final Fantasy XIV, on the Aether DC, that plays a range of music. We specialize in editing our own arrangements of existing songs from the 80s, 90s, classical, movie scores and more!When it comes to our performances, we play at a wide-range of venues from large to small. Though we do prefer the smaller setting, and favor immersive Roleplay venues as sometimes the band can have some silly banter while on stage.

Carina Hart
Band Leader || Editor
Carina began her career as a bard in early 2022 under the mentorship of Frentis Rageborn (Frentis & The Ragehorns), learning from him not only how to play, but how to edit and arrange her own music. In short time, Carina was on stage as a member of Frentis & The Ragehorns and playing regularly at The Maple Bear Tavern in the Goblet.When Frentis decided to take a break from performing, Carina found herself breaking out as a soloist, and for a time the sole house bard for The Maple Bear Tavern. It was her time as a soloist that forced her into the spotlight.In the early summer of 2022, Carina and Frentis opened their own lounge in the Empyreum, Carina's Heart, where they could play whatever they wanted. It was here that Carina moved from soloist to band leader of her very own band. With support and mentorship from friends and fellow bards, Kira Nyx and Jack Trader, Carina learned in the late after hours how to better her skills as an editor of a full octet band.Today, Carina enjoys performing alongside her Lalafel companions, but also as a soloist.

Minisa "Minnie" Misa
Stage name: Wind-Up Carina
Quirky, sugary sweet, and just a bit off, Minnie wants to make anyone she meets her new best friend. Minnie doesn't quite remember much of her early life, just that she lived on the streets of Ul'dah and made friends with the rats and stray dogs and cats. Her loveable personality and sweet smile, and probably the fact she has trouble pronouncing her "r"s, made even the most hardened merchants sympathize and offer her scraps for free. One day while looking for treasure in the trash, she came across an old brass horn. Anyone smarter in her position may have tired to trade it for some gil, a decent meal or new clothes, but Minnie knew this was something far more special. So she took to the plaza and started tooting away and was... absolutely abysmal! But she didn't hear the "boos" and "hissing" from the crowd, instead she took their heckling calls to mean that she was actually doing good!Today, Minnie remains a key member of Wind-Up Nostalgia, often tasked to take lead when Carina wants the night off.
Elelwa "Ellie" Elwa
Stage name: Wind-Up Eldarawyn
Orphaned when she was young, Ellie spent most of her life here and there in La Noscea. Making her way through life she tried to make it as a writer, but found that no one wanted her stories. One day she ventured to the city in search of inspiration and stumbled across a bard who was playing the most moving of music. The wordless melody touched her heart and made her feel there was a story hidden within the notes. And it was then that she thought that perhaps it was music that she was destined to make. With just enough gil saved, Ellie bought her first flute from a pawn shop.When she's not performing on stage, Ellie can be found with her nose in a book. She is the band's bookworm and enjoys reading stories to her fellow bards in their free time.
