Character Backstory

Early Life & Family

🏠 Childhood (Ages 0-16)

Born in a small coastal village in La Noscea to a family of fishers and merchants. Her parents ran a modest trading post that served both locals and passing travelers, giving her early exposure to people from different walks of life.

As the middle child of three, she learned to be both independent and diplomatic. Her older brother was destined to take over the family business, while her younger sister showed early magical talent. This left her free to explore her own interests without heavy family expectations.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Family Relationships

Parents: Loving but practical people who taught her the value of honest work and treating others fairly. They supported her adventurous spirit even when they didn't fully understand it.

Siblings: Close with both, though they've grown apart geographically. They still exchange letters regularly and meet for important family occasions.

Coming of Age

🌟 The Turning Point (Age 17)

Everything changed when a group of treasure hunters stopped at her family's trading post, telling tales of ancient ruins and forgotten magics. One of them, an older Elezen scholar, noticed her fascination and offered to teach her the basics of magical theory during their week-long stay.

That week opened up a whole new world for her. She discovered she had a natural affinity for magic, particularly the kind that connected her to the natural world around her. When the treasure hunters left, she convinced her parents to let her apprentice with a local scholar for a few years.

📚 Early Training (Ages 17-20)

Spent three years learning from Master Theron, an eccentric researcher who lived in a tower overlooking the sea. He taught her not just magical theory, but critical thinking, research methods, and the importance of understanding the history behind ancient knowledge.

During this time, she also learned basic combat skills from the village guards, recognizing that knowledge without the ability to protect it was incomplete. She showed particular aptitude with ranged weapons and supportive magic.

Recent History

🗺️ The Wandering Years (Ages 21-24)

After completing her basic training, she felt called to see more of the world. With her master's blessing and her family's concerned but loving support, she set out to explore Eorzea, taking on small jobs as a freelance researcher and occasionally working with adventuring groups.

These years taught her practical skills and street smarts to go with her book learning. She learned to judge character quickly, handle herself in dangerous situations, and the value of reliable allies. She also began collecting the stories and songs that would later become her passion for music.

🏡 Settling Down (Age 25-Present)

Eventually, she found herself drawn back to the coast, settling in Limsa Lominsa where she could balance her love of learning with practical work. She established herself as a freelance researcher and part-time performer, building a network of contacts among scholars, adventurers, and ordinary folks alike.

Recently, she's been working on a personal project documenting the folk stories and songs of coastal communities, believing that these oral traditions contain valuable historical and cultural information that's often overlooked by formal scholars.
