Looks & Mannerisms

Shoshopu is a shortish Lalafell, a little under three fulms in height. Her chestnut hair is kept cut short, plaited on either side of her face, and tied into a chocobotail on top of her head. Even her deep green eyes look like they're smiling. Basically, she's adorable. Unusual features include thick, dark eyebrows and a darkened nose, traits that run in her family.

She's an extrovert, loving to meet new people and especially tagging along with people on adventures. She's intrepid! Curious! And ever the optimist. She also has a surprisingly crude sense of humor. Determined to improve her craft, Shoshopu will absorb all the information she can about arcanima and magic in general. She will take any opportunity to help someone in need, as it's an opportunity both to be helpful and gain some recognition.

Shoshopu is a worshiper of the Twelve, looking to Oschon for protection and guidance on her journeys. However, she also has an interest in Primals... and wouldn't mind having a chat with a beastfolk about it, provided they weren't threatening to sacrifice her to their god.

Biography

1555-1571

Childhood

Shoshopu was born in the hamlet of The Golden Bazaar in Eastern Thanalan, on the 3rd Sun of the Third Astral Moon in 1555, to Hahabaru Uubaru and Ruruza Ruza, preceded by four older brothers. Her nomadic family traveled atop a group of giant tortoises, in traditional Dunesfolk fashion. Her parents had the largest tortoise, and each of her brothers had their own tortoise, scaling in size in descending order of age. Being the youngest child, she would ride on her parents' tortoise, where she was doted upon, to the point of being sheltered. She was jealous of the relative independence her older brothers had, as they were older and worked to support the nomadic family. She launched herself at every new bit of knowledge she could find, any opportunity to do something her brothers couldn't, before finally finding the most enjoyment in maths and geometry. She had the privilege to read more and pursue intellectual disciplines while her brothers had more physical competencies.

Teenage Years

The pursuit of knowledge never ceased for Shoshopu. As the family could only carry so many non-essential items at any given time, her collection of books and magical trinkets cycled often, exchanging old for new at every stop her family made at the camps and markets throughout Thanalan. In a routine visit to Drybone, Shoshopu saw for the first time what would grab her interest and never let go for the rest of her days: an Elezen mage accompanied by a glowing, three-tailed vulpine creature. She slipped away from her parents for a few precious minutes to inquire about the familiar. The Elezen briefly explained the most basic principles of arcanima before the young Lalafell was dragged back to her family's caravan. Shoshopu never forgot the arcanist told her.

In the months that followed, she began exchanging her old books for gil instead of different books.
