The Creators
- ● Enx Oronir (NPC) (Deceased) "Your voice... Was always so empty. So cold. I'm glad I'll never hear it again."
|
A Sharlayan scholar born of the Steppes. Eiai's birth father. He was a runt born with a disease that effected his growth, remaining frail and never growing much larger than a female Au Ra. Constantly belittled for his small stature and fragile constitution, he made up for his lack of talent as a warrior by providing the tribe with various creative stratagems that led the Oronir to victory in their many territorial battles. With his tribe's blessings, Enx departed to sharpen his mind in Sharlayan. Through his research there, he came to grow an unhealthy obsession with the strength of dragons. It led him down a path where he toyed with others lives... Including his own daughters. Ironically, it was a dragon that ended his life. Eiai doesn't remember the man, but in her memories she saw his black horns and heard his deep, scary voice.

- ● Akemi Airi (NPC) (Deceased) "You looked at me like I was nothing more than a bug. Maybe I was to you, but..."
|
Enx Oronir's wife and Eiai's mother, also a Sharlayan scholar who hailed from a village in Yanxia. She was a vain young woman who was quite popular in her small village, but could not be won by any man. Bearing a strong personality and quick wits, she grew bored of her life there and sought out something more. She left Doma before it was captured by The Empire, employed in Sharlayan and partnered with Enx Oronir. She fell for him and promised her life to him, adopting his obsession with dragonkind and following him into insanity and even death. Eiai doesn't currently remember much about her either, but remembers her surname that her father referred to her as.

True Family
- ♥● Yin'ir Miura (NPC) (Deceased) "You are the realm's weirdest dad, but still... You're my dad anyways!"
|
Yin'ir was just seventeen summers old when he found Eiai at the age of six in the Foreland wilds. He had never seen an Auri child before, so he thought her to be some kind of strange dragon-like creature, but he was still too kind-hearted to leave a child to fend for herself in such dangerous territory. Hiding her from the rest of the Tailfeather settlement, Yin'ir set up his own camp nearby to keep her away from the others. Being a teenager without experience caring for a small child, Yin'ir was at a bit of a loss, but he did what he could to take care of her. He eventually decided to name her Eiai, and as some of her memories started to piece together, she took the surname of Airi, which she assumed belonged to the woman who was her mother. As Yin'ir raised her, he didn't have much disciplinary technique, but fortunately for him, she was a very withdrawn and well-behaved child. Eiai proved to be a very useful hunting partner as she grew up with him, and they slowly grew to be each other's best friends and family. Even so, Eiai never thought of him as her father, but more like an odd brother, since Yin'ir never really punished her and let her do as she wished. Yin'ir was very protective of her and didn't want her to leave for Gridania, but he knew that she needed to create her own life path... So he did his best to keep his distance and just protected her from the Garlean who would try to use her in his experiments.
Aged thirty four, Yin'ir gained a reputation as the 'Iron Fang' with the Adders, in trouble for killing innocents with his elaborate traps. They were set up to keep the Garlean cronies out, since they were always after his life and things he had stolen from the Garlean. He felt he was always one step ahead of the man, but he was proved wrong when the Garlean sent Eiai's own friends to end his life and take back what he'd stolen. Her friends had no idea who he was, and Yin'ir failed to tell them in time. He lost his life that day, now buried under the tree with the twin brother of Eiai's husband.

- ♥● Reid Sunstride "Do you remember me, wherever you go?"
|
Eiai and Reid were classmates who were just starting out in the conjurer's guild, though Eiai was already a decent disciple that would try helping other students who seemed to struggle with conjury. Reid, a total newbie at conjury, didn't have a knack for the healing arts at all. No matter what angle she tried to approach it, Eiai wasn't able to inspire any improvement in the older Miqo'te man. In the end, Reid eventually gave up that endeavor as he realized his talents lay in his job as a Bard rather than healing magicks. Eiai had no choice but to agree with that notion. Despite that, the two remained close ever since and think of each other as nothing less than siblings. Reid naturally tends to protect and look out for Eiai in any way he can, and Eiai... Well, she certainly fits the picture of an affectionate little sister towards Reid. Reid wanders a lot and Eiai never gets to see him, but she misses him sometimes.

- ♥● Min Oronir "You were just a doppelganger, a mirror who didn't have feelings of her own... But you came such a long way. I wonder... Will we ever be close?"
|
Min was thought to be some sort of clone, an enemy out to destroy Eiai's life, but it became apparent after Min came to her that the girl was seeking a life of her own. Feelings of her own. It turned out that she was indeed Eiai's twin sister that she never knew had even existed...
Eiai was instantly protective of her and hoped to help build a relationship with Min from the ground up, despite the weird territory they started off on. Eiai didn't blame her and grew to enjoy her sister's company, her bluntness, her... Weird gremlin tendancies. Min ended up in Raz's clutches again and Eiai wanted nothing more than to help free her. Now that it's all over, Eiai understands that Min will probably make her own way in life... She accepts this. As long as her twin is alive and happy, Eiai is content.

- ♥● Mirai Airi "My little fuzzball!! You're gonna grow up to be SO FUCKING TALL! And live in a world without chains! Your mama promises you that!"
|
Mirai was born on the 11th Sun of the Third Astral Moon (5/11). He was born with a full head of fluffy hair and mostly cat-like features like his father, Hizu. He has black scales growing in to indicate that he is half Au Ra. Eiai and Hizu gave him a name meaning 'the future' because to them, he is the future they wanted together. Mirai cried a lot and pooped all the time and didn't let his parents get any sleep, but Eiai was always fine with that. She loves to pester the little guy and doesn't like leaving his side. Her favorite part about him is his fluffy ears and tiny nub tail.
He has an obsession with pickles and snack cakes, throwing tantrums if he doesn't get those things. He is now around 4 summers old-- loud and bites a lot. He runs really fast and is hard to catch when he's got the zoomies.
|
- ♥● Zeru Airi "You look so much like your daddy..."
|
Born on the 14th Sun of the Fourth Astral Moon (7/14). One of the twins, he and Kari were born a few years after Mirai. The dark chocolate-haired boy is calm and quiet normally. He hardly makes a fuss unless things start to get loud. He sleeps a lot and seems a little scared of his twin sister.
|
- ♥● Kari Airi "They say you're a curse, but you're my beautiful little girl... I don't care!"
|
Born on the 14th Sun of the Fourth Astral Moon (7/14). Kari is the twin of Zeru and her face seems to be constantly stuck in a glare. Nothing really seems to make her happy unless someone's getting hurt. She and Zeru are currently under Mephorash's care and Kari bites the poor man a lot, even without any teeth.
|
- ♥● Wisteria "The only Chocobo I'll NEVER EVER eat!"
|
Wisteria is a pretty lavender Chocobo that Eiai raised from an egg. Given to her by Hizu on their first Starlight together, this is the only Chocobo that's totally off-limits in terms of emergency dinner rations, considering Chocobo meat is one of Eiai's favorite foods. Totally spoiled and always dressed up in cute ribbons and frills, Wisteria is VERY cheerful and VERY social, and really enjoys fruity snacks. She is also pretty skilled in cracking skulls open with her sharp beak...
