A young mage out of the Twelveswood, with a love for arcanima. Norhi Morovine-Stormshadow is a healer and arcanist, semi-'retired' adventurer, and fledgling hedge mage. She and her husband have settled the Idyllshire community, with a small shop. They offer services for alchemy, botany, and healing.

Norhi is an energetic and generally happy sort of girl. She loves to meet new people and chatter their ears off. She also gets turned around very easily in unfamiliar environments and can spend hours at a time being lost. This rarely puts a damper on her mood, as she often finds sights and places she wouldn't have guessed were there, otherwise.

Birth and Pre Adoption

Norhi was born to the Noctfleur tribe within the Twelveswood. The tribe was known for harvesting localized species of plants for the production various products and trade. Her tribe was rather isolated, save for their traders and merchants. Until disaster stole their lives.

The Noctfleur tribe was wiped out in an attack by a group of slavers, led by a Garlean exile. Several of their members, primarily children, were taken, the rest killed. Norhi was kept imprisoned by this group for two years, undergoing a sort of 'education'. It was their hope to train her to be a passable maid at the very least. However, being only a small child, her coordination hampered a lot of her 'training'.

The traffickers activities were eventually noticed and stopped by the Wood Wailers. This led to Norhi's rescue, even though it was too late for the other remaining members of her tribe. Norhi, and the other remaining children that had been captured from other villages and tribes, were brought to Gridania. It was there that the wailers and the conjurers guild sought out the living relatives of the children. Yet, being the only known remnant of the Noctfleur tribe, there was no one left to retrieve Norhi.

During her rescue, Norhi would have her first brush with the Echo. But she would not understand what she saw until much later.

Adoption, Childhood, Adolescence

Norhi was adopted by a wood wailer, P'rischy Morovine (formerly Tia), and his wife Yhuna Morovine. Norhi was brought home to live with them in Gridania, where she would learn and play with other children in the city. There was a small amount of prejudice from some of the wildwood elezen of the city. But Norhi was taught how to cope with that. Otherwise, her childhood was mostly spent healing and learning what normal was. She soon grew into herself enough to be noted for her energy, insatiable curiosity, quick mind, and hopeless lack of direction. More than a few wood wailers became used to walking her home, whenever she got lost. As well as answering her endless stream of questions, along the way.

Around nine summers old, Norhi nearly attuned the Gridanian aetheryte and discovered that she did have some aetheric potential. From there she was further assessed and put into basic lessons. By the time she was thirteen, she was admitted into the beginner studies for conjury, within the conjurers guild. For the first few years, she studied at Nophica's Altar, under the tutelage of whomever had the time and wherewithal to handle an energetic preteen. She had to be told several times not to climb the great tree that houses the guild.

As her training progressed, she was allowed into the areas of the Shroud, closest to the city, under the supervision of other conjurers. During this time, it was noted that she had the capability and mind for Arcanima. And it was discussed that she might travel to Limsa Lominsa when she was older, to join the arcanists guild.

Calamity and Post Calamity

The calamity struck when Norhi was fifteen summers old. She was at home In Gridania with her parents, grandmother, and aunt. The event, and the time following it, left Norhi with the resolve to see as much of the world as she could, while she could. She knew this meant strengthening her skills as a mage, and thus started talking her parents around into letting her aim for the adventurers guild.

By eighteen summers, she was permitted to join the adventurer's guild and take on tasks in The Black Shroud. It was a year after this time that she found a half drowned Au Ra on the bank of a stream. She wound up healing him and taking him home, finding he was an alchemist and wanderer, who was lost and unable to get home. Akizuki Stormshadow soon became her close friend and travel partner. It wasn't long before a romance started, between Norhi and Zuki. And they made plans to travel Eorzea together.

A Realm Reborn to Heavensward

By the time Norhi was twenty summers, she and Zuki moved to Limsa Lominsa, where Norhi joined the arcanists guild. She showed a quick aptitude for summoning carbuncles, and had no shortage of work available to her. During this time, Akizuki became more immersed in his alchemy. Norhi picked up botany as part of her adventures, bringing home reagents for Zuki to use or experiment with. They soon settled into this arrangement, where they would travel together to various new places. Norhi would find adventurer's work there, while Zuki plied his alchelmical trade.

Norhi continued her work with the adventurer's guild, primarily as a conjurer and botanist. She would assist in any major events as the adventurers guild sent people out. This included an eventual migration to Ishgard, and finally Idyllshire.

After helping to heal the fighting going on the Steps of Faith, during Nidhogg's final attack, Norhi felt it was time to settle down a little. She's semi officially retired from adventuring and healing, and she's chosen to make her home in Idyllshire. She's managed to obtain a place for a small shop, now named Stormvine Alchemy, Botany, and Conjury. She's also reached out to other botany services in Ishgard, in hopes to improve her skills and contacts further. Her hope is to one day start a small greenhouse and have a proper home. She's since joined the Dufresne Bellworks as a researcher and botanist.

Stormblood

Norhi, through the Dufresne Bellworks, participated in the liberation of the Ala Mhigan city state. She primarily worked as part of the supply chain for the Dufresne Sappers team, under Ishgard's direction. Norhi was not involved in most of the fighting, as she spent most of her time running carts of supplies through back paths of the Twelveswood, into occupied territories. She was present for the battle that tore down the gates of Ala Mhigo, before retreating back to work in the healers tents during the fighting.

Her current standing plans are to continue her research for the Bellworks, and to find some way to go east.

The Echo

This information is only known in character to a limited number of people. The Echo is only used in agreed upon circumstances with other involved players.

Norhi's variety of the echo is best described as a version of probability computation. During specific fated moments, she sees faded overlaid visions of a person's next actions. Each vision is a brief moment a the most, requiring Norhi to think quickly, or else lose the chance. This most commonly comes into play as a healer, allowing her to vaguely predict fatal attacks. Or during pivotal moments of fate, outside of battle, that once again could prove fatal or serious injury.

This Echo is limited to being involuntary. Norhi could not sit and people watch, and predict their future. It is also limited to the effects on people, and not environment. Using the Titan fight as an example: Norhi could theoretically see a faint vision of Geocrush occur before it could happen. She would know that the attack would likely cause damage to the entire party. She would not know that the attack would cause part of the arena floor to fall away. She could potentially see Landslide as a faint vision, and the people who would be effected by it. She would not know that the ability would knock them off the platform.

PC Rumors

No rumors from other players yet? Sad.

Wood Wailers

Her father is a mid ranked officer in the Wailers. And she thus grew up around several of them. Show text

Several Wailers were also involved in the rescue of her and several other children, from slavers, when she was six.

Conjurers, White Mages, and Conjury Guild

Norhi started training as a conjurer at around 12 or 13 summers old. Basic spells, no going outside without supervision, that sort of thing. So people she’s trained along side, as well as potential mentors. There were also some conjurers on the mission that rescued her when she was six, and who cared for her, during the interim of that mission and her adoption six days later.

Gridania

Growing up in Gridania, with an adopted family of two parents, a grandmother, an aunt, and twin younger siblings, Norhi and her family had a small number of friends.There were some children she played with. There were also people who were passively antagonistic to them, because they were Miqo’te and not Wildwoods.

Botany Guild

Norhi is a botanist to provide materials for her husband's alchemy, for their shop, and for the Bellworks needs. Her shop also offers her services to fetch and gather plants on a commission basis. She’s also made a few friends here or there, possibly some competition, plus whatever mentors she’d need.

Adventurer’s Guild

Norhi is "retired" with the adventurer’s guild. She’s met people through that. As a healer, she’s not had trouble finding work. It was through this that she’s wound up assisting and healing for the Warrior of Light on a couple occasions. She’s been to at least one fight where Ifrit was put down (hence her capability as a summoner). So, friends, competition, allies, mentors, etc. She can still act for the adventurer's guild, but she is not generally working for them anymore.

The Dufresne Bellworks

Norhi is a botanist and researcher for the Dufresne Bellworks, and visits both the Ishgard office and the Ul'dah office on a regular basis.

Idyllshire

Norhi has a small shop offering botany, alchemy, and healing services, in the community of Idyllshire. She is available for some adventuring work, on a case by case basis.

OOC & Notes

Hi! I'm a mid 30s stay at home sort. I'm in the Pacific Time Zone (west coast US). As a result, I'm three hours behind the usual east coast times listed for events and such. I'm often on during the day, before my family gets home from school and work. And then I'm on in late evenings (10 pm to midnight ish). If you want to hang out, rp, chat, or whatever, feel free to whisper me in game, or contact me on Tumblr!
