Biography

Not much is shared from the woman, painting herself as a humble musician from Isari in the Ruby Sea. Having moved away from that region after it was freed from Garlean domination by the Confederates, she finds herself in the most obscure and exotic regions, exerting a slightly atypical but extensive amount of knowledge of her homeland and beyond. For someone from such a humble fishing village, she's fairly educated in history and especially music, having taken lessons from private tutors herself.

After from what she claims was a scuffle with her mother over her broken relationship with her father, she was disowned and forced to move out of her aquatic home. She never found a permanent place to stay, but she seems to prefer things that way, especially if it's out of reach of the domain of Hingashi.

Personality

Attitude

Strangely, despite her friendly and casual demeanor (even in business settings), she's fairly pessimistic, mainly about personal events. However, she keeps most of this to herself to get along with others better, meanwhile she doesn't care much for rejection in social situations. This can lead her to having some issues with empathizing with others, but she'd always lend an eager ear and advice to those who'd need it, partly so she can just get her own opinion out.

Sociability

She interacts with others fairly frequently, especially to make herself used to her surroundings. Despite her flamboyant choices of clothing, she favors making herself blend into the crowd. She seems sometimes to be more concerned with herself than others, but it's precisely the opposite. Granted, she tends to misread a lot of people's feelings.

Expressiveness

She easily displays her feelings, especially with body language, unless it's negative opinions on a more important matter. Ironically, though, she easily takes sides and even encourages others to do so. She very vocal about her strong sense of right and wrong.

Notes & Trivia

  • She's well-practiced in playing both the shamisen and the biwa, though she's especially fond of the latter.
  • She speaks some Thavnairian thanks to interactions with Hannish traders headed for Kugane. It sparked a strong interest in the culture ever since.
  • She equally enjoys kabuki and noh opera, the latter being considered more respectable in her home country however.
  • Her favorite novels include The Tale of the Heike (Heike Monogatari), The Great Mirror (Ōkagami), and Anthology of Tales from the Past (Konjaku Monogatarishū), the last carrying some inspiration from Thavnairian culture. In non-fiction, she's particularly fond of The Science of Material Gain (Arthashastra) from Thavnair. Her favorite poem collection is Collection of a Thousand Years (Senzai Wakashū).
