He is part of the recent batch of Adventurers that have journied to Eorzea to pursue their own goals. A gentleman and an intellectual, he takes pride in his strategic wit and cunning on the battlefield. He spends most of his time thinking, even when it does not seem apparent to others around him, for he is always searching for opportunities to test out his new tactics so that all of Aldenard will one day know of his brilliance.
Appearance
Since his return to Eorzea after two months of being with his family, Thiji has grown several ilms where he now stands over 3 fulms tall. Aside from that, he is quite the handsome specimen sporting short, icy blue hair with white highlights that barely touch his shoulders; his left eye is the same color as his hair, and his right eye is a silvery-white color, similar to that of his highlights. He is always seen wearing robes or some sort of regalia with tints of blue, white, and/or purple.
Behavior
His demeanor is usually calm and collected. Thiji also tends to be in a perpetual state of thought, always thinking of someone -- or something. When not fighting, he's in his home in his Higuri Regalia Headquarters in the Goblet, practicing his weaving and goldsmithing.

Relationships
Mamai Mai: A young female Dunesfolk whose eyes were taken from her by the Calamity, she was a skilled smith that was taken in as Thiji's maidservant, but she eventually grew feelings for him for his selflessness and faith in her to succeed. However, due to recent events she was slain by the Lady of Frost, Shiva. He sought revenge against her in which he succeeded, and Mamai would be at peace. Thiji, on the other hand, despite his claims of actually accepting his loss and making peace with it, is still hurt and fears he may never heal, for it was the only person in his life so far that actually loved him.
Shishira Shira: A childhood friend of Thiji's, Shishira is a Goldsmith specializing in ruby-based products. During their childhood together, Thiji slowly began to harbor feelings for her, and when he would muster the courage to confess, he would be denied the opportunity thanks to an heir of a mineral concern known as Memejora Danajora. With a bit of cunning and tact, he undermined the both of them and as payback, served the Higuri Regalia for several winters before they would pay off their debts. Since then, they have been good friends with each other, but Shishira had finally realized that the latter loved him after talking with him alone in a recent Yearsend party. She is happy to be married with Memejora, but is also guilty for making Thiji into who he is today.
Family
Horu: His younger brother Horu Higuri is a mirror of himself. They share the same eye colors, but Horu has a silver left eye and an icy blue right eye. Also, his hair is more silver with icy blue highlights. He does not speak of him much in open conversation due to a variety of reasons.
Kikimei: A Wildwood Elezen and Thiji's older cousin, she has come to Eorzea to serve as his retainer, mainly handling transactions related to his tailoring endeavors.
Friends
Glacius: His steed and only true friend, Glacius is a winter chocobo that was given to him since he was a child. He protected his master from predators during his childhood and has been his loyal companion ever since. His favorite food is the Pahsana Fruit.

Rare Rumors
- Before Mamai's soul would leave to the aetherial plane, a piece of her soul was embedded into an axe that Thiji now wields. It is made of ice, and when drawn, sparkles with her aether, forming a diamond axe.
- Everyone believes that he is a disdainful, antisocial noble that is borderlining "emo" by some. In actuality he is very humble, social, and caring, but this can easily not be seen due to his lack of company, or simply because he doesn't leave beyond the grounds of his mansion very often.

- "Thiji? Oh, he's a nice young man, sure enough. His retainer seems to think I'm royalty, though...and that I sleep with dragons...the nerve!" -- Liliana Nazareth
