  BACKGROUND.   Born into a food shortage during an Ala Mhigan siege, Bulma was the runt of her family. Her upbringing was dismal, as the soldiers who stormed her village confiscated what little supplies her clan did have, leaving her helpless as she watched family and friends alike meet their end.Later adopted by a young viera and miqo'te couple, she was offered a second chance at life and joined the local archer's guild to earn some gil on the side. Once she could afford it, Bulma packed everything she had and began to travel until one fateful night in Yanxia, where she met a dancer — an assassin, really — and she left her bow behind.Fascinated by the artistry and deadliness of dance, her new tutor trained her night and day until she was ready to work as a bodyguard for a very tight-nit family business - one known only to the very wealthy and the very dangerous. She quickly rose through the ranks becoming one of the boss's favorites, earning herself a place in The Family.And though she was halfway across Hydaelyn, Bulma never could forget her love for the forest, keeping an obsessive interest in nature and botany close to her heart…maybe a little too close, at times.  BIRTHPLACE | HOME | AFFILIATION.  Taker's Rot, South Shroud | Lavender Beds, W15 P37 | Helios Co. in Yanxia  JOB | OCCUPATION.   Bartender & Botanist | Hitman  LIKES.   Foggy weather, the smell of pine, and the sound of a crackling fire. She also loves studying lichens, moss, and anything else that she can pick up from the forest floor and put into a jar for future “use.”  DISLIKES.   Surprises. Unless it's a plant, in which case new botanicals are always enthusiastically accepted.  LANGUAGES.   Miqo’te Huntspeak, Eorzean Common, Ishgardian Common, Padjal, Hingan, and Doman  GUARDING DEITY.  Nophica

  BACKGROUND.   Born and raised in the Golmore Jungle, a forbidden love grew between the daughters of the tribe's elders. They shared secrets and dreams under the starlit sky for half a decade, yearning for a life where they could live without fear of judgement. After months of planning, the teens plotted their escape in the middle of the night, stealing away on a ship bound for Kugane.Once accustomed to the outside world, the bond between the two fizzled out and they went their separate ways. Knowing she couldn't return to her homeland, Taranis worked as a server at the Umineko teahouse for a few years to pass the time and deepen her pockets.The young Rava woman grew restless - constantly finding herself eavesdropping on the international traders and tourists as she served them their meals. Taranis's sense of wanderlust was insatiable, spending each night staring at the very stars that'd guided her away from her village all those years ago.Now a grown woman, the Viera still dreamt of exploration and enlightenment. She decided it was time to take charge of her future once more, enrolling in classes at the Doman Enclave that would teach her the art of healing.Much to her tutor's surprise, the arcane magicks came naturally to Taranis. Astrology was her calling, and she dove in headfirst. With nothing more than a torquetum, her tarot cards, and an eager heart, the Viera woman set her eyes to the horizon, ready to follow wherever the stars might lead.

  NAME.  Claire D'lune

 GENDER | SEXUALITY | STATUS.  Cis Female | Straight | Single

  NOTABLE FEATURES.   Turquoise Eyes | Deep Blue Hair, Teal Highlights | Fair Skin
  LANGUAGES.   Eorzean Common, Ishgardian Common
  OCCUPATION.   Seamstress and Fashion Designer
  BACKGROUND.   Sharp minded, Claire stayed hidden from many children her age, recognizing immediately that she was different. Being the only Viera child in Foundation, and one of the very few in all of Coerthas, she was the target of mockery and judgement from people of all ages. She was a quiet child, learning the ins and outs of the social hierarchy from her parents and their interactions, as well as the failures and successes of her peers. Because of the bullying that had taken root at school, Claire’s parents decided it was best to homeschool her instead, which inevitably turned their well intentioned protectiveness and love into obsessive paranoia, smothering her chances at social growth.Desperately seeking some sort of creative outlet, Claire took up needlepoint and the art of lace making whenever she wasn’t studying. The fine detail work was something she found relaxing, and the fact that the classes that were based out of a shop on the other side of town offered her a much needed escape from the watchful eyes of her mother and father. After a few months one of the instructors offered the Veena an apprenticeship at their shop, where she’d train under a dress-maker who worked exclusively for the women of Ishgard’s high houses.It wasn’t long before Claire was making strides of her own, taking commissions from men and women alike for all sorts of garments. She’d found her passion and ran with it, convincing the head designer to hand over the business to her once he was ready to retire, officially making her the youngest business owner in the Jeweled Crozier. As her work grew in popularity she found herself creating designs for people all over Coerthas - but word spread quickly, and soon she was receiving orders from as far out as La Noscea.

  OCCUPATION.   Kugane Courier

  BACKGROUND.   After nearly a decade of living a nomadic lifestyle with two young sons, Moku and Sagra Soleil returned to the land of the Dusk Mother when they discovered they were going to have a daughter. With a Raen mother and a Xaela father, a baby girl born with pearly white scales that gleamed in the sun amongst a tribe of Xaela men and women was something none of the elders, let alone her parents, could’ve ever imagined.Myria, one of very few women to be born into their tribe, was protected to a fault. The adults in her life did everything they could to snuff out her curiosity - always responding with worried expressions and dismissive comments any time she asked questions about the world beyond the village walls. One source of solace, however, was the little Raen girls’ older brothers. They were her best friends and greatest teachers, regaling her with stories of their hunts and adventures across the vast landscape of the Steppe. Wanting nothing more than to join them in their escapades, she begged to follow in their footsteps in the fields only to be told no at every turn. Instead, she was tutored rigorously in the art of white magic for years, eventually being assigned the position of personal healer and caretaker of the village elder.Myria had heard whispers around town that the elderly Xaela’s mind was going, and that he would likely require care at all hours of the day. To her surprise, however, the man seemed to light up when she’d walk into the yurt. Excited to share stories of his own youth, he was lively and animated, always bringing a smile to Myria’s face. One afternoon she broke down, confessing her dreams of adventure and deep disappointment knowing they’d never come to fruition. The elder snapped her out of it, scolding her for such pessimism, before tossing her a notebook, launching into a recounting of every survival tactic he could think of.He taught her what beasts were easiest to track and how to do so, listing the local fauna and ranking it from easiest to most difficult to slay. He taught her about fishing and foraging, even how to build a bow and a trappers kit, should she ever find herself on the run. She learned about different types of flowers and mushrooms, what was safe to eat and what wasn't. How to purify water, and what poisonous plants she'd have to look out for.As the sun began to set and he finished his lecture, the old man settled back in his chair with a wink, letting her know that a trader would be in town the following day and would likely need a volunteer to assist with moving a shipment of textiles across the Ruby Sea to Kugane. Before he sent her home for the night he penned a note to her parents, calling for their understanding as he’d enlisted her to join the couriers that would arrive the next day.Through a tearful exchange, Myria kissed her parents goodbye and hugged her brothers tightly, promising to write as soon as they docked in the city. Just before the caravan made its departure, the village elder ducked out of his tent to offer a knowing smile, waving farewell as the young woman began her journey across the plains to a brighter future.
