An Lad is a non-playable character from Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers. They are a newborn pixie in the beast tribe questline.
History[]
Some time after Titania's defeat, a pixie named An Lad was born. An Lad seemed to possess vague memories as Titania, and it was theorized that Titania's aether may have imprinted on An Lad during their birth, making An Lad a reincarnation of sorts of Titania. An Lad's memories of Titania's imprisonment, as well as previous memories of never reaching a loved one, led to them feeling an intense loneliness and lack the average pixie's understanding and drive to have or how to have fun.
As fun is the overall purpose of most pixies, this misguide in purpose caused them to inadvertently plague the children of Norvrandt with nightmares in an attempt to befriend them. The Warrior of Darkness, with the aid of the previous Titania's friend Tyr Beq and a sentient porxie named Ezel II, vanquished the children's nightmares before An Lad's own affected Lyhe Mheg. They destroyed An Lad's nightmare, allowing them to be at ease with themselves and accepting Tyr Beq's friendship.
