Nearly four years went by, during which time they traveled around the realm, doing the work that they had all set out to do. Anselma continued her weaving as her primary profession, her Astromancy a large and growing skill and passion in her life. Volker resumed his previous work as a mercenary, though, to ensure his daughter and wife would not worry much, only took jobs that were safer in nature. Yunari still assisted her mother, and as well would go out with Anselma to forage for herbs, fruits, and vegetables, or her father on occasional hunts, trapping meats and aquatic foods. Using these fresher ingredients she would often cook where she went, earning extra coin or at times information for her respective parents. If she was lucky, she would sometimes manage to convince a well-spirited soldier, gladiator, or warrior to impart upon her some knowledge of their art. They bought a home in La Noscea, despite not often being in it as they traveled, and this was their life until strange occurrences found Eorzea. The second moon Dalamud seemed to grow bit by bit, taking more and more of the sky and blotting it out, Aetheryte crystals began morphing and spawning dangerous monsters unlike any that people had seen, and all manner of voidsent and beasts became wild, unruly, numerous, and incredibly dangerous. Perturbed as much as the next citizen of Eorzea, Anselma used her newfound passion to try to discern an answer in the Heavens, explaining what was transpiring. She learned in this time of a possible Heavens' Gate over the distant lands of Doma, and, with her family in tow to support her, she left on a trade ship for those very same lands.

Upon this ship happened many occurrences that Yunari would carry with her for the rest of her life. Among them, and most important, was her requainting of Geisswolk Rhotgeimwyn. The woman was a Roegadyn, opinionated and a bit of a zealot, whom Yunari had once encountered in The Drowning Wench. That night, Geisswolk had been denouncing the names of the Sharlyan Astromancers, apparently having caught whispers of Anselma's words in the towns. Openly, she claimed them heretics to Ishgard, and lunatics following a dangerous path. Yunari, defending her mother's honour, asked that she stand down until she know more of what she spoke, but rather than acquiesce, the Roegadyn furiously proclaimed that it was the untrained, uneducated, and classless folk like the Oerbas that were bound to doom Eorzea to being beneath the attentions of the Holy See in the grand city of Ishgard. Snapping instantaneously, the Hyur flew at the Roegadyn, and they fought until The Yellow Jackets ripped them apart from one another, beaten, bruised and bloodied, spitting on the ground while cursing each others' names. The memory of this still fresh in their minds when they met again on the vessel meant that the only reason either held their cool were still further the remembrance of the night they spent across from each other in a dank cell-system beneath the rocky outcrops upon which the City-State rested. This occurred many a night over the course of the prior two years, often due to similar types of arguments and speeches at once another when they happened to cross paths for more than a quick passing. Thus, for the nights spent traveling, they observed each other with a silent ferocity, only speaking to hiss one another's name in feigned greeting as they passed when under watchful eyes of compatriots.

Upon this ship, several important events occurred. Firstly, Yunari ran into [[Geisswolk Rhotgeimwyn]], an opinionated and slightly zealous Roegadyn whom Yunari had encountered in the Drowning Wench years prior. That night, Geisswolk had been denouncing the names of the Sharlyan Astromancers among other topics, claiming them heretics to Ishgard, and lunatics following a dangerous path. Yunari, defending her mother's honour, asked that she stand down until she know more of what she spoke, but rather than acquiesce, the Roegadyn retorted with insults. Enraged, the Hyur began a physical confrontation with the Sea Wolf, fighting until the Yellow Jackets intervened and jailed them for the night. This had occurred many times over two years, and thus, upon the trade ship, they observed each other with a silent ferocity.

Shortly after this brief meeting, Volker pulled his daughter aside, offering to finally begin training her in the arts of war. At seventeen years of age, with nearly fourteen of that filled with relentless attempts to learn her father's skillset, and decently held her own, untrained, against her father, he could no longer deny that it was possible she make a good warrior of sorts. Beyond exhilarated, the young woman threw her arms about her father, silently crying and thanking him, and for the first time in nearly a decade they embraced. At long last, it seemed the family could be truly whole again.
Besides the appearance of this violent figure from her days, Volker one night pulled Yunari aside as she was assisting the chef on the vessel with meals for the crew, attempting to learn the dishes they usually ate while bound by the tides and seawater. Upon the deck with soldiers hired to guard the crew and vessel in case of piracy, he proclaimed that he felt it was time he began to teach his daughter what he knew. At seventeen years of age, with nearly fourteen of that filled with relentless attempts to learn her father's skillset, and having seen both first and second hand what his untrained daughter could do in a fight, he could no longer deny that it was possible she make a good warrior of sorts. The least he could do if he could not sway her away from the dangerous path was to at least give her an advantage should she need it. Beyond exhilarated, the young woman threw her arms about her father, silently crying and thanking him, and for the first time in nearly a decade they embraced, a moment Anselma stayed out of, but looked upon with happiness shining in her eyes. At long last, it seemed the family could be truly whole again. Unfortunately, this heal in the rift was cut short.
 
  
 
The time in Doma, once they arrived, was short, as the unnerving occurrences across Eorzea were soon made apparent to not be localized to that Realm; rather, it seemed no area was left untouched, some having claimed, in their travels, seeing even Garlean forces arming troops and gathering defenses. A handful of nights were afforded as those upon the vessel departed for lands beyond after making their trades, and less than a fortnight went by before the Oerba family was on their return trip to Limsa Lominsa. Anselma, having been unnervingly quiet since finding and opening the Heavens' Gate over Doma, did not share what she found, even with her beloved husband and daughter. All they could move her to speak of was the fact that she had discerned the location of the gate through an unusual meeting with a Doman Priestess, trained in what she described as a very different, yet spiritually similar, atherically-tuned art. Clutching in her hand a tightly wrapped scroll, she insisted the family return to the shorebound city-state, and set out at once to attempt to contact the reclusive Sharlayans, and perhaps even, to Yunari's disdain, the Astrologians affiliated with their counters in Ishgard. But less than two suns from leaving the humble docks of the port nearest Doma, in the dead of night, every plan was forced to a grinding halt.

Personality

Disposition

Yunari was raised between two opposing natures, and from such exposure, she developed a very two-sided demeanor. It is most noticeable in moments of civil brutality, and her flip-switch temperament, capable of changing from calm to fired up with little to no warning. Her sociability is sometimes overbearing to strangers whose lives pique her interest, as she will not hesitate to "help" where she sees fit, blinded to personal boundaries. Generally speaking, however, this feisty Hyur is friendly, playful, and dedicated.
