<div>
=== '''♦ General''' ===
<hr>
 
: (When Vektis says he is the Dragoon of Whitebrim, it means he is the Knights Dragoon, swore to protect Whitebrim which is under the protection of Durendaire, so essentially he has sworn himself to Durendaire.)
: A young, energetic miqo'te who is dedicated to protecting who he loves, and spreading joy. You will almost NEVER see this cat angry, scared, or sad! While he may have a silly, fun, crazy side, he also has a serious one. The reason why Vektis can use ice aether, is because his aether is ice aspected. He was also trained a little in thaumaturgy as a child. While people can see Vektis as a very powerful individual, his main weakness in fighting is that he struggles with tactics. He's one to throw everything and the kitchen sink at his enemy and exhaust himself too quickly. He's a destructive force that is to 'riled up' and 'aimed' at an enemy, in a sense. <div>
 



=== '''♦ Appearance''' ===
<hr>
 

:"Vektis is the bestest!" Vektis usually wears the same thing. All the time. Everyday. He wears a Wine Red coat, with baggy pants and boots. Sometimes he wears light armor when he spars or goes to the Grindstone, and he almost never wears his Dragoon armor.

:Vektis is pretty toned all around his body, but nothing like raging muscles or anything like that. <div>
 



=== '''♦ Behaviour''' ===
<hr>
 
: Vektis is a very energetic, lovable, happy-go-lucky miqo'te who will probably hug you whether you want one or not, no matter who you are. He is always quick to try and help someone if they ask for it, especially if he likes that said person. While Vektis has a very silly side to him, he can be serious when he needs to be. He always tries to put others before himself, even more so if he loves that said person.

: 💑 '''[[E'kari Sol]]''' - Vektis has never loved anyone more in his life. Vektis sees E’kari as the light of his life, and would sacrifice anything for her. Vektis first met E’kari when she showed up at Heartwood with her sister, E’yami Amane. When he first saw her, he thought she was cute, nice, and smart. Soon after, they began to see each other. Vektis and E'kari are happily married.

: ● '''[[E'kira Sol]]''' - E'kira Sol is Vektis' daughter. He loves E'kira more than himself and will do anything to protect her. Vektis loves to interact with E'kira as if he was talking to any other person, never using anything like 'baby talk'.

: ● '''[[Max Sol]]''' - Max is the adopted son of Vektis and E'kari. Vektis welcomed the small boy with open arms when his wife brought him back from her home tribe! Vektis knows for sure that this boy will grow up to be the clever one between him and his sister, just by looking at him! Just like Kira, he doesn't talk to Max like he is a baby, but more so as if he is an adult, as well as loving him more than himself. Which is rare! Very rare.

: ● '''[[Chip Wayman]]''' - Chip Wayman is one of Vektis’ favorite people. Ever. He came to realize quickly that Chip is probably his best friend,ever since he first met him. They easily bounce off each other in conversation, and rival each others strength. Sadly, Vektis has not seen one of his best friends in a while.

: ● '''[[Aekira Swyfte]]''' - Vektis looks at Aekira in a way where one would be able to poke fun at each other while still maintaining a good friendship. Every time he sees Aekira, he HAS to make fun of the fact that the man looks great in heels. He first met Aekira at his first Grindstone, where Aekira got angry at Vektis for constantly yelling, just like how most people usually meet Vektis!

: ● '''[[E'vehlke Sohj]]''' - When Vektis first came to Heartwood, E'vehlke saw him as perverted idiot. Now, they are good friends, and she even gave him permission to call her 'Vehlke.'

: ● '''[[Rath Alarone]]''' - Vektis and Rath became good friends quickly, probably because they both like to screw around from time to time. Rath hired Vektis as his personal liaison before Vektis became an Executive, and Vektis thinks highly of Rath because of it.

: ● '''[[Nyscera Alarone]]''' - Nyscera was one of the first people Vektis met when he came to Heartwood, next to Harvest and Sokhatai. Even though Vektis can piss Nyscera off to no end, they're still good friends.

: ● '''[[Tynos Riller]]''' - Vektis and Tynos are good friends. It is evident in the way where they can take jabs at each other all the time, wherever they are, and still maintain their friendship. Vektis looks up to Tynos, and will listen to most advice from him.

: ● '''[[Conrad Steelsong]]''' - Vektis always liked Conrad, ever since he got a coffee mug thrown at him and then slammed down into a desk! He always, and still does, see Conrad as one of the strongest people he knows. They became good friends, even if Conrad doesn't want to admit it. They have had a few adventures together, epic and comedic all at the same time.

: ● '''[[Bennett Cooper]]''' - Vektis sees Cooper as his little brother. He wants to shape Cooper to be like himself when he is older, hence why Vektis teaches him the 'Rules of Vektis' and the "Secret Rules of Vektis.' Cooper is the heir to the title of "The Bestest"

: ● '''[[Sakeru Wakeru]]''' - Like Cooper, Vektis also sees Sakeru as his younger brother, though...not exactly in the same way... While Vektis loves Sakeru, Vektis still thinks that the lalafell can be mischievous and instigating.

: ● '''[[Solemn Olive]]''' - Vektis first met Olive when he was doing a small delivery job for Heartwood before he was even a liaison. They met in the Drowning Wench, and right as they met, they helped out someone who was having an issue in the Wench with a curse. They now see each other as good friends.

: ● '''[[Reina Sol]]''' - Reina is Vektis' younger half-sister, and they find comfort in each other when they need it. Vektis is protective of his sister, even if he never shows it. He wants her to be happy, and he wants her to have a comfortable life, and will do anything to try and provide that for her.

: ● '''[[Enkhjargal Dalamiq]]''' - Right away, as soon as Vektis met Enkh, he loved him to death. He wanted to be best friends with Enkh, and wanted to be apart of what he did, all the time. Enkh, on the other hand, did not share the same opinion. He thought that Vektis was an annoying, lying, perverted catboy, who was as good-for-nothing. Now, Enkh tolerates Vektis, and they have become friends over time.

: ● '''[[Dead Willow]]''' - Vektis saw this tough woman when he happened to come across a fight in the bloodsands. He watched as she fought and admired her strength and use of a sword. He followed her after her fight was done and asked if she knew anything about swordplay, to be exact sabreplay, and asked if she could teach him! it took a lot of pokes, but eventually Willow began to teach the man about how to use a Sabre well. This then evolved into Willow teaching Vektis on how to be a Redmage, and ended up handing him her Redmage Soulstone, which has been passed down in her family for generations. She also gave him nifty robes to wear!

: ● '''[[Harvest Krayk]]''' - Harvest was one of Vetkis' first and only friends when Vektis came to Heartwood. He called Vektis 'Harem' because of the way Vektis acted, and they were such good friends that Vektis cried when Harvest left Heartwood. He is still good friends with Harvest and always will be.

: ● '''[[Idriel Tuskglade]]''' - Idriel is Vektis' guardian, and he almost sees her as a mother. She took care of him when he was younger, and still does now. Vektis goes to Idriel for advice when he needs it, even if she is a little ball of anger.

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#4d0000;font-size:14px;color:#FFFFFF;">Acquaintances</div><div style="border:0px solid; padding:8px">===

: ● '''[[A'ki Woods]]''' – Vektis and A'ki were mates before E'kari came along, but A'ki left for a long time without telling Vektis where she went, so Vektis grew apart from her in the time that she was gone. When she did show up again, Vektis broke things off with her because he didn't feel the same connection with her as he once did. 

: ● '''[[Camille Everardi]]''' - While Vektis sees Enkh as his good friend, he sees Camille as a good acquaintance. He enjoys her company, and likes speaking with her.

: ● '''[[Solid Sequoia]]''' - Ever since Vektis met Solid through E've at the runestone, Vektis has liked her. He maaaay or may not have annoyed the ever living hell out of her with all his bad ice puns, but...that shouldn't be that big a deal, right...?

: ● '''[[Namaka Ebisu]]''' - Vektis first met Nama when he was just talking with Conrad in his Heartwood House when the friendly Water Sprite just kind of...came out of the tub and said hi. She was nice to Vektis right off the bat, so Vektis did the same thing right back at her! It wasn't very hard to like Nama in Vektis' eyes.

: ● '''[[Xihvi'ir Valathri]]''' Ashy, as everyone in Heartwood calls him is a nice enough guy. Thats pretty much about all you need to be on this list, so here he is! Vektis likes when he plays the harp. Yup.

<div>
=== '''♦ General''' ===
<hr>
 
: (This page has recently undergone a major rework! Check it out if you want to know what has changed!)
: This overly polite and apologetic medicine-woman can often be found scuttling about making deliveries for her shop. Due to her diligent work, E'kari's Alchemist Alley has become one of the Alchemist Guild's favored subsidiaries and is frequently called upon to do business as a representative of their organization. <div>
 



=== '''♦ Appearance''' ===
<hr>
 

: E'kari is a Seeker/Keeper half-breed who carries some physical traits from her mother and father. Her eyes are narrow slit-pupils, skin pale but capable of bronzing in the sun like a Seeker; though her fur is fluffy and tail is long like a Keeper.

: This miqo'te has a snow-print mane--white with undertones if black and grey--with pale blue eyes and bangle-stripes that frame her face.

: In true mage form--E'kari can usually be found in little to no armor, even when going into battle. It slows her down in preforming martial arts and also disrupts her casting to wear anything too heavy. Instead she prefers comfortable robes or her labcoat. <div>
 



=== '''♦ History ''' ===
<hr>
 
: The parentage of E'yami and E'kari is a taboo matter. One that the Nunh of the Eft ordered upon the strictest of penalty, never to be spoken of. While their mother--E'yari--was a Seeker and one of the designated breeding females to the Nunh; their father--Sagu'a--was actually a roving Keeper who had long since left behind a subservient life with his maternal-family in the Shroud to be a traveling poet, minstrel and anthropologist. The two Miqo'te met when Sagu'a and his scholarly lalafell companion, Anabel Nack, sought a place to rest during their travels. The tribe apprehensively took the researchers in as temporary guests. In that time Sagu'a and E'yari began a secret relationship.

:When it came to light that the two had been together Sagu'a was put to death, and his body unceremoniously left to rot in the heat of the desert just outside of their territory.

: In a double blow, not only was E'yari stricken with grief, but she also discovered she was pregnant. Due to a combination of her melancholy of her lost love, the despair at what her life would be at the whims of her Nunh and complications during the birthing process--E'yari died shortly after her second kit was delivered. The last words she managed to speak before slipping away were the names of her children. Both Doman, in honor of their father who fancied the culture. Yami, meaning dark, and Hikari meaning light--though the midwives were unfamiliar with the tongue, mistaking it simply for /E/kari.

: Upon the twins' birth into the Eft--as per tradition--the clan made a ceremonial offering of their namesake to Azeyma that would determine their role in the tribe. When the flesh was melted from the bones,their appointed wise-woman had determined E'kari was to be the next shaman while E'yami's bones were an augury that she was preordained to be a great warrior.

: The Nunh was pleased by the news and demanded celebration, but found that the females of the tribe were not nearly as thrilled. Many believed that the pale-faced kits with hair of black and white were cursed; killing their mother with ill-omen. Nack took this opportunity to offer her services in raising her friends' children and providing them with education.

:The lalafell's silver tongue managed to coerce the Nunh to allow this arrangement--given he had few other options. The three were put up in a yurt close to the Nunh's own home to keep an eye on the foreigner.

: In the years that proceeded their youth, the twins were given a proper education by the professor--in between being stolen away to be taught their duties to the Eft. While Yami practiced fighting the other tribal youths, Kari was introduced to herbal medicine, burial rites and how to divinate the future with the practice of bone reading.

: Despite the twins' diligent efforts to hone their skills and fulfill thier tribal roles, they sorely lacked any sort of companionship from the other children of the Eft--having learned from their mother's to be wary of the pale-faced Seekers. Because of this, Nack took it upon herself to try and teach the girls the basic art of carbuncle summoning and passed her own Topaz and Emerald gems down to each of them.

: Demure and plagued with anxiety, E'kari was given Nicholas--Nack's Emerald carbuncle--as a therapy animal; while E'yami received Whackara--a Topaz companion who had enough spunk and energy to keep up with her. Both arcanist-pets has served the Professor faithfully since her own youth and passed without incident into the hands of their new masters.

: As the twins neared their teenage years, an odd habit of E'kari's came to light. She could often be found speaking to the streams, winds and rock-faces in the territory which the tribe found very suspicious. Some of the more superstitious members of the tribe were convinced the was speaking to the dead; the Nunh believed this was some gift from the Warden, proving his right to rule was divine.

: Knowing better than to believe any of that, Nack speculated that this was a hereditary trait, passed down from Sagu'a, who was a Hearer. Once more the professor went to the Nunh and convinced him that he should allow her to take the twins to train abroad in Gridania that they might return more powerful and capable of serving him. He agreed to the idea and within a fortnight Nack brought the girls to the Shroud.

: Once in Gridania, E'kari joined the Conjurer's Guild as a student while E'yami sought training in both lance and bow.

: Though eager to make new friends the Seeker found this was easier said than done. The high populous of Hyur and Elezen looked condescendingly upon the tribal girls. It was not out of the ordinary for the more crude classmates to inquire if her parents were cousins. This trouble fitting in was compounded by the fact she didn't seem to learn at the same rate as everyone else. E'kari would often focus on small details of things, so much so that she could not intake an entire lesson. A classroom setting did her little credit, but during her free moments she would visit the Everschade and commune with the Elementals.

: On one such visit, a strong wind blew a small branch down from the great tree; which, E'kari took and mended with magic that it might be used as a crook.

: Due to her natural affinity for the forest and her difficulty with conventional methods of learning she was taken as a personal apprentice to Master E-Sumi-Yan, a patient Padjal who specialized in the guidance of Hearers. Discovering the trick seemed to be hands-on learning, he took every opportunity to have the Seeker accompany him while he worked. E'kari improved quickly under his tutelage, able to stand as a conjurer in her own right.

: Near the end of the girl's time abroad, the Seventh Umbral Calamity struck. With her guild called to act as medics on the field, the twins soon found themselves on the heels of disaster for the duration of the event. E'kari and her classmates followed the guildmasters into the chaos, assisting those who had been wounded or fallen. E'yami acted as E'kari's personal guard as she preformed field surgeries and magical healing. The two witnessed death up close on more than one occasion, finding themselves changed by the end of it all.

: After all was said and done, the girls' respective masters deemed them both students no longer. And while this was a sweet taste, it was also made bitter by the memories of carnage that now haunted them both.

: The twins returned to their desert territory as heroines who represented their tribe with valor and courage. The Nunh held festivities long into the night.It seemed as though they'd finally been accepted, but neither seemed particularly content with staying within the territory any more--not after all they had been through. Together E'yami and E'kari traveled to the Shrine of the Warden, offering an Eft in a pyre for guidance. When the flesh had melted from the bones, Azeyma's will bid they must go--for they had more to do out in the world. E'kari shared this edict with their people and with heavy hearts, they left again to find and fulfill their duties elsewhere until the time the Warden calls for them to return.

=== '''♦ Behavior ''' ===

 

: E'kari has a hard time learning in a conventional sense often requires an exceedingly patient teacher in order to have any real success. However once she does learn something--or is preforming a task she excels in--she is hard-pressed to be outshined.

: While still generally being good natured and apologetic, in combat E'kari is capable of being a formidable opponent. Being a conjurer she will often take the role of a healer, but her connection to the Elementals has also allowed to take a unique approach to martial arts. The Seeker will often harden a stone skin over her hands and feet while delivering blows, or using gales of wind to enhance her movement speed. She has named her self-made fighting style, "The Golem Step" which emphasizes momentum and fluidity. (Much of her techniques in form are inspired by real world Zui Quan)

: Despite her obvious shortcomings, E'kari is a very hopeful person and goes into every situation with optimism for success, even if she has failed at the task a hundred times before. Sometimes it's the hundred and first try that wins the day.

: ● '''[[E'yami Amane]]''' - E'kari's protective fraternal twin sister, older by 7 minutes. E'yami has always been a strong source of strength, comfort and adventure as the two have grown. Though she has a very tomboyish and wears tough outer shell, E'kari knows that her sister is actually very caring and sensitive--always putting the needs of others before herself; and that is what makes her E'kari's hero.

: 💑 '''[[Vektis Sol]]''' - E'kari's boisterous, free-spirited and loveable husband. When they first met she admired his self confidence--often shyly observing him kicking down doors to shout his own name at people. There are few in the world who can raise E'kari's spirits like Vektis can. The two became close friends and then a couple shortly there after. Though many people see his behavior as a nuisance, E'kari celebrates her husband's off-beat mannerisms--unless of course they prove to be dangerous. She loves him to the end of the world and back. The two are married and have two young children together. "Yes, you have been informed correctly. Vektis is, indeed, the bestest." - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[E'kira Sol]]''' - The young daughter of Vektis and E'kari, making her a mixed breed Keeper/Seeker. Regardless of whatever situation she's in, E'kira tends to maintain a positive attitude. While Kira can be uncomfortably blunt as well as a bit bossy, she also has a fair mind and good natured heart. She cares immensely about her friends and is always striving to make more. This kitten has two dreams: to be a Dragoon and a Gryphon tamer.

: ● '''[[Maxwell Sol]]''' - Born to the Eft tribe--to the name E'rhaja Tia--and orphaned after his sire was defeated and overthrown by another male. E'kari picked up the kitten; she felt a kinship with him for their similar origins. Upon his arrival at Heartwood to the Sol family he was renamed by Vektis and E'kari so he might grow up feeling like he belonged. E’kari does not plan to inform him of his true parentage until he reaches adulthood. Now seven summers old, Max is shy, polite and thoughtful. Especially fond of tinkering with small shiny objects and collecting beads, rocks and shells. He has an exceptionally bright mind for a boy his age, though is often roped into his younger sister’s schemes.

: ● '''[[Nicholas Nack - Carbuncle]]''' - The ever-present summoned companion of E'kari. This carbuncle has been with E'kari throughout the Seeker's entire life as a sort of therapy animal, helping to keep her anxiety in check. With a gem layered with complex geometries: Anabel Nack made it so he and his sister creation--Whackara--could form memories; and with that, personalities. Nick is generally gentle and quiet, with a keen ability to sense people's emotional needs. As such, he tends to gravitate to people whom he suspects need comfort. Nick is aware of his own artificial intellegence and often grapples with his place in the world, as well as the loneliness that comes from his own existence. "Ploo!"

: ● '''[[Anabel Nack]]''' - Author, scientist, surgeon and parent. This quirky and frightening alchemist is the adopted mother of E'yami and E'kari. Nanabel Nabel by birth, she almost always goes by her pen-name "A.B. 'Nack'". Though her child rearing methods were always questionable at best, the most indisputable fact of it all is that Nack loves both of her girls very much. She is not above employing dark methods to ensure this mad-scientist keeps her loved ones safe. This lalafell's haunting laughter was picked up by E'kari as she was growing up. "Kuhuhuh....."

: ● '''[[Conrad Steelsong]]''' - This initially frighteningly large Ala Mhigan is actually the godparent of E'kari and Vektis' young daughter, E'kira. The four of them, as well as No'Ulla Khilik, all take up residence in the same house in the Mist. Conrad has obviously weathered the storm of many conflicts that have hardened his exterior. Despite his gruff demeanor, E'kari finds him to be a wonderful person and the closest thing to a father she's ever known.

: ● '''[[No'Ulla Khilik]]''' - The Ala Mhigan-weaver wife of Conrad Steelsong. She has recently returned from apprenticing in Ishgard to live with the Solsong household. E'kari finds her to be a skilled craftswoman and never tires of hearing about Ulla's special technique of Spell-Weaving. Ulla is a welcome addition to the family and is especially well loved by Max, who admires her quite a lot.

: ● '''[[Nyscera Alarone]]''' - This mistress of shadowy death is a close friend of the twins' adopted mother. She is considered an aunt to E'kari and E'yami. Early on in E'kari stay at Heartwood, the dragon-riding assassin took E'kari, Bennett and Snowy in as pupils for physical and mental training. While it was grueling and at times crushing, E'kari owes her martial arts ability solely to these lessons. Nyscera taught E'kari the value of teamwork and also her how to be unphased by negative elements in her life.

: ● '''[[Rath Alarone]]''' - Nyscera's aloof husband--and by proxy--the twins' uncle. This applesauce-loving dark knight is the one that hired E'kari to work as the company alchemist--in no small part to do with the potent pain killers she was able to make for him after a fight that nearly ended in his death. He always seems have a joke lined up, even in the most bleak of situations.

: ● '''[[Bennett Cooper]]''' - E'kari's teammate and--since his adoption by Rath and Nyscera Alarone--cousin of sorts. E'kari sees Bennett as the shining future of their free company. While he makes mistakes and has a ways to go before he can truly master any of his arsenal of weapons, E'kari firmly believes this young boy is going to do great things. Could young Master Bennett be a something more than the average fighter...? "Cooper is Super..!" - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[E'vehlke Sohj]]''' - The maternal cousin of E'kari and E'yami. Vehlke is a fearless warrior with a strange accent. As she is a full blood Seeker of the Eft tribe, E'vehlke shares a striking resemblance to the twins' deceased mother.

: ● '''[[Sokhatai Borlaaq]]''' - This huntress is the wife of E'vehlke Sohj. She has a very specific way of talking. E'kari onced picked her brain about adventure and Au'Ra culture. She finds her delightful!

: ● '''[[Reina Sol]]''' - E'kari's half Keeper half Raen sister-in-law. She is the first person from Heartwood that the twins ever met, quickly taking the girls under her wing and giving them a place to stay. It was because of Reina that E'kari met Vektis. E'kari admires Reina as a strong and together person.

: ● '''[[Snowy Sol]]''' - E'kari's full miqo'te sister-in-law. Even before the two were related by marriage, E'kari has had a definite soft spot for this girl-genius in her heart. The two worked together in the clinic for some time, rather closely. In one occasion the two preformed life saving surgery on Vektis. E'kari's only qualm is that she fears this teen might be too relaxed about the dangerous world around her at times--but maybe that's just the anxiety talking.

: ● '''[[Xihvi'ir Valathri]]''' - Xihvi'ir, or 'Ashy' as the others have taken to calling him, is a kindly harp-player that has come into the service of Heartwood. Though E'kari doesn't know of his personal dealings in any intricate regard--other than his past as a gambler--she knows she can trust his character, as he is well loved by Nick. The Keeper has always loaned a helping hand to the company whenever a need arose, for that E'kari finds herself very grateful to her new friend. Though she doesn't know it yet, the two share an unexpected bond in blood.

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#4d0000; font-size:14px; color:#FFFFFF">Friends </div><div style="border:0px solid; padding:8px"> ===

: ● '''[[Sakeru Wakeru]]''' – This unsuspecting looking delivery boy has a dark past under the surface. A time ago, Sakeru divulged a portion of his history to E'kari and a few others. Oddly enough, she ended up trusting him more after learning he was a trained assassin. She was quite sad to see him leave for a time, but was much overjoyed at his return. Wherever this lalafell goes two things are a certain: death and dinner. "Did I leave the oven on..?" - Sakeru Wakeru

: ● '''[[Tustin Lafell]]''' - The first moment E'kari saw this lalafell he was being arrested on the free company lawn for the attempted armed robbery. Later when he returned to make his peace with Heartwood the two met and over time became close companions. Tustin's street-savvy, wild and hot-headed demeanor contrasts E'kari's bookish, nervous, awkwardness in a very positive way. This Dunesfolk left Heartwood some time ago to make something of himself out in the world. Since then he has begun studying medicine. He remains, to this day, one of E'kari's most treasured and beloved friends. "I'm not cute! I'm manly as hell!" - Tustin Lafell

: ● '''[[Tynos Riller]]''' - This towering black mage initially greatly frightened E'kari upon their first meeting. Perhaps it was his scar, his serious expression or his sheer size--regardless, she now knows him as a very kind-hearted and family oriented leader. He sacrifices much of himself to keep Heartwood's members safe--and frankly--works too hard. It would be a shock to find him away from the clinic for longer than a month. It's safe to say, E'kari's pharmacy has a special 'Tynos Budget' for the small fortune it takes to keep this misfortune prone Elezen on his feet. "My goodness..! Hurt again, Master Tynos...?" - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[Cioccolato Stella]]''' - Cioccolato, or Lady Cio as E'kari calls her, works as a nurse and aspiring doctor for Heartwood. This charming and kind healer can often be seen sporting pastel colors and traveling around in the company of her Demon Brick, Cenere, which is a close friend of Max. E'kari has always been very fond of this miqo'te since her arrival and is one of the few she trusts to care for Kira and Max in her absence.

: ● '''[[Kaiya Ailbhe]]''' - The librarian, chief of medicine and over-all brains of Heartwood. E'kari admires the patience of this woman but also feels horribly guilty that the actions of her free company have driven Kaiya to take up smoking. Occasionally E'kari will bring Kaiya cinnamon sticks en masse as an attempt to give her something roughly cigarette shaped to hold and suck on. It is unknown if Doctor Ailhbe actually enjoys these or if she is merely humoring E'kari. Hopefully at the very least she is not being driven to smoke those as well...

: ● '''[[Zana Amaro]]''' - An aloof gunslinger and self proclaimed alley-cat. Despite being told not to, E'kari still insists on respectfully referring to this miqo'te as Lady Zana. When this woman is armed and in a foul mood . . . heaven help her target. E'kari has seen Zana rip a man's arm clean off. However Zana does also have a soft side. When E'kari was gravely injured in an attempt on her life, Zana stationed herself in the clinic to watch over her.

: ● '''[[Narumi Kotokaze]]''' - More commonly referred to as "Kota". E'kari met this Maelstrom affiliated bounty hunter on the road when she was set upon by highwaymen--which Kota easily dispatched. Since then the Raen has been promoted to first lieutenant of the Storm-guard and assigned to work as the handler of the former pirate Skyfwyb. The officer comissions her medicine from E'kari's "Alchemist's Alley".

:● '''[[Skyfwyb Aergankawyn]]''' - E'kari was not fond of this woman in the start. The monsterous Seawolf had committed crimes against Heartwood on numerous occasions. E'kari was glad to hear of her sting and arrest by the Maelstrom. In the time that has followed, however, the curt and belligerent captain seems to have changed her ways to some extent. E'kari now views her slightly more favorably after having witnessed Skyfwyb's capacity to care genuinely for another person. It was also by the aid of this former pirate that the Solsong household was able to cross the sea to the east. As it stands now they are friends.

: ● '''[[Moralee Relen]]''' - Known to E'kari as "Mordry". This Au'Ra woman is rather complex for many reasons. Regardless E'kari cares greatly about Moralee and Mora in equal measure--although Mordry's "Moralee-half" is more familiar to her. Some time ago Mordry required E'kari's help with a somewhat risky task. This evoked the ire of her usually perpetually cheerful husband. Vektis has yet to forgive Mordry to this day, which fills the Seeker with guilt and remorse. However, because of that mission, E'kari learned how to brew a special and ancient potion she dubbed, "The Draught of the Dreamwalker".

: ● '''[[Neville Synch]]''' - This good natured marksman is the mate of Zana Amaro and the best friend of E'yami Amane. Over the period she has known him, this man has done a lot for E'kari's family which she could never repay. Though she does not know him too well personally she trusts him fully regardless. She always gets a chuckle out of the banter between Neville and Vektis.

: ● '''[[Vahn Quietfury]]''' - A sweet little boy with a curious connection to an elder dragon. E'kari first met the half lalafell on a caravan mission that was attacked. In the absence of his own mother, the Seeker would often look after Vahn when his father was away. One day when Vahn was playing with some of the other boys in the company yard he exhibited dangerous abilities. He and his father were sent away for the potential danger they posed. E'kari still loves Vahn like a son.

: ● '''[[Brandon Stormstrider]]''' - The Hyur father of Vahn Quietfury. E'kari met Brandon a short time after Vahn. The two became close friends, as the miqo'te was one of the few Heartwood members Brandon trusted. She would often do simple favors for the father and son to make their lives easier such as cleaning or bringing home pineapples. Upon their leaving to a new safehaven the Seeker found herself deeply saddend, however Brandon still sneaks over to the company on occasion. Brandon has placed E'kari under the protection of his men known only as "The Rogues".

: ● '''[[Enkhjargal Dalamiq]]''' - This stoic summoner is actually E'kari's master. He took her under his wing when she first arrived to Heartwood and had to terrorize her into being able to use her magic for anything beyond healing. His methods worked and looking back, E'kari owes him all of the strength she possesses now. Beyond that, she thinks he is a wonderful person who has natural ability with children. Who knew!

: ● '''[[Camille Everardi]]''' - Camille is Enkhjargal Dalamiq's wife and a talented mage, among many other things. E'kari has seen Camille fight in more than one way in the past with spars. She found this woman to be a strong female rolemodel for her in the past when she was just learning to fight--and still looks up to her to this day. E'kari couldn't be happier that her master and friend found happiness in each other's company.

: ● '''[[Chokho Viqqoh]]''' - A fierce, fiery and loyal amnesiac-Keeper who recently joined Heartwood. Since her arrival, Chokho and E'kari have become fast friends; bonding over their shared love of martial arts and string instruments. Though the two differ greatly in temperament and personality they have a shared respect for one another.

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#4d0000;font-size:14px;color:#FFFFFF;">Acquaintances</div><div style="border:0px solid; padding:8px">===

: ● '''[[Dead Willow]]''' - This Gyr Abanian born Hellsguard was Vektis’ teacher while he studied Red Magic. While possessing the—not uncommon—steely gaze of a pit fighter, Willow has also expressed true care and kindness toward her apprentice and his family. E’kari has come to respect Willow a great deal, so much so that she’s offered the Roegadyn a teaching position at her school upon its completion. 

:● '''[[Nevrynn Alarone]]''' - While E'kari initially mistrusted the Seeker for his roguish persona and wanderlust, in resent months she has come to warm up to her sister's mate. Though she may not know him as well as she might like, he makes her sister happy. And the affection between the two are plain to see.

: ● '''[[Jake Jakkya]]''' - A red-lenses wearing void-mage who has spent a great deal of his life as a pit fighter. This spellsword is particularly close to E'kari's adopted mother, Nack, which makes him a brother of sorts. E'kari sorely wishes he would be less devil-may-care in demeanor at times, or at least care a bit more about his own life. She's always pleased when he pops up unharmed now and again. This former criminal has been blacklisted from Heartwood for his criminal debts to the Syndicate--though he has since paid them back in full, becoming an ally to the group.

: ● '''[[Ash Valken]]''' - The tall, brooding brother of Nyscera who has a strong dislike for Rath. E'kari met this former bandit spying on her a few times. Eventually the two had a sit-down conversation and became close--which was a new thing for the Au'Ra. E'kari taught Ash how to play a grasswhistle, fixed his broken hearing-aid and engaged in a playful spar. Somehow, in one way or another, most of their interactions end in awkward sexual-tension. The day Ash left Heartwood, E'kari gave him a necklace made from a strap of her doctor's bag to remember her by and encouraged him to follow his dreams.

: ● '''[[Akiyuki Okuma]]''' - The large, quiet, but overall pleasant husband of Cio who has joined Heartwood since his marriage to the plucky, pastel nursemaid. This reserved Au'Ra is a welcome addition to the family.

: ● '''[[Kenoni Eien’no]]''' - The betrothed of her friend Moralee. A stern and stoic acquaintance but never the less, E'kari admires his loyalty and commitment to Mordry. She hopes the two will have a wonderful life together with their child.

: ● '''[[J'edite Shedai]]''' - A fellow enthusiast of martial arts that spends most of her time roaming Thanalan seeking glory for the Jackal tribe. The two have had run-ins here and there as J'edite was on hunts and once sparred under the Sultan tree. The Seekers employ very different styles of their own making: while E'kari fights with her heavy handed "Golem Step" ideal for doing battle with armed and armored foes; J'edite uses fast kicks transitioning into fluid jabs in her "Fire Dancer" style that proves to be the bane of slower opponents. As it stands the two are friendly rivals.

: ● '''[[Alpon Adpon]]''' - The Pink Punisher! E'kari has met this "battle-chef" in passing more than once. The lalafell's skill in combat seems to rival his culinary prowess.

: ● '''[[Namaka Ebisu]]''' - A strange and sweet water-sprite who lives in a fountain. You want tree slugs? Because this is how you get tree slugs.

: ● '''[[Alistar Stormfist]]''' - Found by Heartwood on the road to Little Ala Mhigo, this former Garlean slave was near death and wearing a magitek collar. With no where else to go and no life to return to, this gentle giant returned with the caravan to the Heartwood Homestead.

: ● '''[[Lucinda Kovix]]''' - This kindly and capable, Ishgardian drifter met Doctor Sol as she was returning from conversing with the Everschade and her husband's chocobo ran off. Lucinda and E'kari worked together to catch the bird and got to talking about Lucy's need for work and also to find her missing brother. The Miqo'te has since come to stay at Heartwood which has overjoyed E'kari.

: ● '''[[L'nela Varya]]''' - A one-eyed woman who really enjoys taking a bite out of life! In all seriousness--L'nela is a chipper and quirky person. A little emotional at times, but rightfully so; as her recent years have been filled with trauma. Both physical and emotional. Careful, she likes to nibble!
 

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#4d0000;font-size:14px;color:#FFFFFF;">Disliked</div><div style="border:0px solid; padding:8px">===

:● '''[[Tharl Oom Khash - NPC]]''' - A being made of corruption who takes his name from his place of creation. While to most guardians of the Shroud he would be a natural enemy anyway--this thing has taken a special and terrible shine to tormenting E'kari and all of Heartwood. His track record of terrible deeds is staggering and body count ever on the rise. His most memorable in E'kari's mind were her children, Sagu'a and Cize. The vengeful mother aided in his demise by pummeling him with special stones--from Tynos and Kaiya--she formed into barbaric gauntlets.


:● '''[[The Pumpking - NPC]]''' - This strange and otherwordly being was initially just an unsettling presence that occasionally appeared in the Heartwood halls offering bargains for steep moral prices. It was not until this squash-headed man manipulated Tustin Lafell into a contract that he became E'kari's enemy. The Seeker used excessive force against the entitiy, beating him into a puddle of black ooze. He has since returned to haunt Heartwood, though has stifled a sum of E'kari's animosity toward him by fixing her carbuncle's shattered gem and helping finish off Khash for good.

:■ "She's a caring mother, and a good friend. Still a little strange, though." - [[Conrad Steelsong]]

== <div style="padding:10px 15px; background:#4d0000; font-size:20px; color:#ffffff">'''Character Trivia'''</div>==
 
:■ E'kari refers to people as 'master' or 'lady' because as a young newcomer to Gridania she was hazed by the local youths; who told her that it was how non-tribal people spoke to one another. Excited to make 'friends' the Seeker picked this up almost immediately. It was not until this was an ingrained habit that she learned it was all a ruse for E'kari to make a fool of herself every time she spoke.
:■ Despite the skill not coming up particularly often, E'kari is adept at Thavnarian belly-dancing. This and many similar styles of celebratory dance were used among she and her kin in their tribal lands; though this is actually not their people's only connection to the middle east. The dress style, use of Alchemy and herbal medicines, even their taste in food has been greatly influenced by trade with Thavnair, much like many others who reside in Thanalan.
:■ E'kari will often experience an inconsolable sense of dread when E'yami is in emotional distress or danger, even if they are far apart. This link between twins seems to go both ways.
:■ Due to E'kari's heavy aspection to Earth she is notoriously difficult to knock off her feet and has immense stamina; adversely, she is not as quick as she'd like to be and swimming in deep water takes a significant amount of energy.
:■ Though most are unaware--or attribute some of her mannerisms to merely being quirky--E'kari actually suffers from high functioning autism. Social queues tend to be her biggest hurdle, along with focusing on the big picture of tasks as opposed to minut details, and sorting out painful emotions.

<div>
=== '''♦ General''' ===
<hr>
 
: (This page has recently undergone a major rework! Check it out if you want to know what has changed!)
: This overly polite and apologetic medicine-woman can often be found scuttling about making deliveries for her shop. Due to her diligent work, E'kari's Alchemist Alley has become one of the Alchemist Guild's favored subsidiaries and is frequently called upon to do business as a representative of their organization. <div>
 



=== '''♦ Appearance''' ===
<hr>
 

: E'kari is a Seeker/Keeper half-breed who carries some physical traits from her mother and father. Her eyes are narrow slit-pupils, skin pale but capable of bronzing in the sun like a Seeker; though her fur is fluffy and tail is long like a Keeper.

: This miqo'te has a snow-print mane--white with undertones if black and grey--with pale blue eyes and bangle-stripes that frame her face.

: In true mage form--E'kari can usually be found in little to no armor, even when going into battle. It slows her down in preforming martial arts and also disrupts her casting to wear anything too heavy. Instead she prefers comfortable robes or her labcoat. <div>
 



=== '''♦ History ''' ===
<hr>
 
: The parentage of E'yami and E'kari is a taboo matter. One that the Nunh of the Eft ordered upon the strictest of penalty, never to be spoken of. While their mother--E'yari--was a Seeker and one of the designated breeding females to the Nunh; their father--Sagu'a--was actually a roving Keeper who had long since left behind a subservient life with his maternal-family in the Shroud to be a traveling poet, minstrel and anthropologist. The two Miqo'te met when Sagu'a and his scholarly lalafell companion, Anabel Nack, sought a place to rest during their travels. The tribe apprehensively took the researchers in as temporary guests. In that time Sagu'a and E'yari began a secret relationship.

:When it came to light that the two had been together Sagu'a was put to death, and his body unceremoniously left to rot in the heat of the desert just outside of their territory.

: In a double blow, not only was E'yari stricken with grief, but she also discovered she was pregnant. Due to a combination of her melancholy of her lost love, the despair at what her life would be at the whims of her Nunh and complications during the birthing process--E'yari died shortly after her second kit was delivered. The last words she managed to speak before slipping away were the names of her children. Both Doman, in honor of their father who fancied the culture. Yami, meaning dark, and Hikari meaning light--though the midwives were unfamiliar with the tongue, mistaking it simply for /E/kari.

: Upon the twins' birth into the Eft--as per tradition--the clan made a ceremonial offering of their namesake to Azeyma that would determine their role in the tribe. When the flesh was melted from the bones,their appointed wise-woman had determined E'kari was to be the next shaman while E'yami's bones were an augury that she was preordained to be a great warrior.

: The Nunh was pleased by the news and demanded celebration, but found that the females of the tribe were not nearly as thrilled. Many believed that the pale-faced kits with hair of black and white were cursed; killing their mother with ill-omen. Nack took this opportunity to offer her services in raising her friends' children and providing them with education.

:The lalafell's silver tongue managed to coerce the Nunh to allow this arrangement--given he had few other options. The three were put up in a yurt close to the Nunh's own home to keep an eye on the foreigner.

: In the years that proceeded their youth, the twins were given a proper education by the professor--in between being stolen away to be taught their duties to the Eft. While Yami practiced fighting the other tribal youths, Kari was introduced to herbal medicine, burial rites and how to divinate the future with the practice of bone reading.

: Despite the twins' diligent efforts to hone their skills and fulfill thier tribal roles, they sorely lacked any sort of companionship from the other children of the Eft--having learned from their mother's to be wary of the pale-faced Seekers. Because of this, Nack took it upon herself to try and teach the girls the basic art of carbuncle summoning and passed her own Topaz and Emerald gems down to each of them.

: Demure and plagued with anxiety, E'kari was given Nicholas--Nack's Emerald carbuncle--as a therapy animal; while E'yami received Whackara--a Topaz companion who had enough spunk and energy to keep up with her. Both arcanist-pets has served the Professor faithfully since her own youth and passed without incident into the hands of their new masters.

: As the twins neared their teenage years, an odd habit of E'kari's came to light. She could often be found speaking to the streams, winds and rock-faces in the territory which the tribe found very suspicious. Some of the more superstitious members of the tribe were convinced the was speaking to the dead; the Nunh believed this was some gift from the Warden, proving his right to rule was divine.

: Knowing better than to believe any of that, Nack speculated that this was a hereditary trait, passed down from Sagu'a, who was a Hearer. Once more the professor went to the Nunh and convinced him that he should allow her to take the twins to train abroad in Gridania that they might return more powerful and capable of serving him. He agreed to the idea and within a fortnight Nack brought the girls to the Shroud.

: Once in Gridania, E'kari joined the Conjurer's Guild as a student while E'yami sought training in both lance and bow.

: Though eager to make new friends the Seeker found this was easier said than done. The high populous of Hyur and Elezen looked condescendingly upon the tribal girls. It was not out of the ordinary for the more crude classmates to inquire if her parents were cousins. This trouble fitting in was compounded by the fact she didn't seem to learn at the same rate as everyone else. E'kari would often focus on small details of things, so much so that she could not intake an entire lesson. A classroom setting did her little credit, but during her free moments she would visit the Everschade and commune with the Elementals.

: On one such visit, a strong wind blew a small branch down from the great tree; which, E'kari took and mended with magic that it might be used as a crook.

: Due to her natural affinity for the forest and her difficulty with conventional methods of learning she was taken as a personal apprentice to Master E-Sumi-Yan, a patient Padjal who specialized in the guidance of Hearers. Discovering the trick seemed to be hands-on learning, he took every opportunity to have the Seeker accompany him while he worked. E'kari improved quickly under his tutelage, able to stand as a conjurer in her own right.

: Near the end of the girl's time abroad, the Seventh Umbral Calamity struck. With her guild called to act as medics on the field, the twins soon found themselves on the heels of disaster for the duration of the event. E'kari and her classmates followed the guildmasters into the chaos, assisting those who had been wounded or fallen. E'yami acted as E'kari's personal guard as she preformed field surgeries and magical healing. The two witnessed death up close on more than one occasion, finding themselves changed by the end of it all.

: After all was said and done, the girls' respective masters deemed them both students no longer. And while this was a sweet taste, it was also made bitter by the memories of carnage that now haunted them both.

: The twins returned to their desert territory as heroines who represented their tribe with valor and courage. The Nunh held festivities long into the night.It seemed as though they'd finally been accepted, but neither seemed particularly content with staying within the territory any more--not after all they had been through. Together E'yami and E'kari traveled to the Shrine of the Warden, offering an Eft in a pyre for guidance. When the flesh had melted from the bones, Azeyma's will bid they must go--for they had more to do out in the world. E'kari shared this edict with their people and with heavy hearts, they left again to find and fulfill their duties elsewhere until the time the Warden calls for them to return.

=== '''♦ Behavior ''' ===

 

: E'kari has a hard time learning in a conventional sense often requires an exceedingly patient teacher in order to have any real success. However once she does learn something--or is preforming a task she excels in--she is hard-pressed to be outshined.

: While still generally being good natured and apologetic, in combat E'kari is capable of being a formidable opponent. Being a conjurer she will often take the role of a healer, but her connection to the Elementals has also allowed to take a unique approach to martial arts. The Seeker will often harden a stone skin over her hands and feet while delivering blows, or using gales of wind to enhance her movement speed. She has named her self-made fighting style, "The Golem Step" which emphasizes momentum and fluidity. (Much of her techniques in form are inspired by real world Zui Quan)

: Despite her obvious shortcomings, E'kari is a very hopeful person and goes into every situation with optimism for success, even if she has failed at the task a hundred times before. Sometimes it's the hundred and first try that wins the day.

: ● '''[[E'yami Amane]]''' - E'kari's protective fraternal twin sister, older by 7 minutes. E'yami has always been a strong source of strength, comfort and adventure as the two have grown. Though she has a very tomboyish and wears tough outer shell, E'kari knows that her sister is actually very caring and sensitive--always putting the needs of others before herself; and that is what makes her E'kari's hero.

: 💑 '''[[Vektis Sol]]''' - E'kari's boisterous, free-spirited and loveable husband. When they first met she admired his self confidence--often shyly observing him kicking down doors to shout his own name at people. There are few in the world who can raise E'kari's spirits like Vektis can. The two became close friends and then a couple shortly there after. Though many people see his behavior as a nuisance, E'kari celebrates her husband's off-beat mannerisms--unless of course they prove to be dangerous. She loves him to the end of the world and back. The two are married and have two young children together. "Yes, you have been informed correctly. Vektis is, indeed, the bestest." - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[E'kira Sol]]''' - The young daughter of Vektis and E'kari, making her a mixed breed Keeper/Seeker. Regardless of whatever situation she's in, E'kira tends to maintain a positive attitude. While Kira can be uncomfortably blunt as well as a bit bossy, she also has a fair mind and good natured heart. She cares immensely about her friends and is always striving to make more. This kitten has two dreams: to be a Dragoon and a Gryphon tamer.

: ● '''[[Maxwell Sol]]''' - Born to the Eft tribe--to the name E'rhaja Tia--and orphaned after his sire was defeated and overthrown by another male. E'kari picked up the kitten; she felt a kinship with him for their similar origins. Upon his arrival at Heartwood to the Sol family he was renamed by Vektis and E'kari so he might grow up feeling like he belonged. E’kari does not plan to inform him of his true parentage until he reaches adulthood. Now seven summers old, Max is shy, polite and thoughtful. Especially fond of tinkering with small shiny objects and collecting beads, rocks and shells. He has an exceptionally bright mind for a boy his age, though is often roped into his younger sister’s schemes.

: ● '''[[Nicholas Nack - Carbuncle]]''' - The ever-present summoned companion of E'kari. This carbuncle has been with E'kari throughout the Seeker's entire life as a sort of therapy animal, helping to keep her anxiety in check. With a gem layered with complex geometries: Anabel Nack made it so he and his sister creation--Whackara--could form memories; and with that, personalities. Nick is generally gentle and quiet, with a keen ability to sense people's emotional needs. As such, he tends to gravitate to people whom he suspects need comfort. Nick is aware of his own artificial intellegence and often grapples with his place in the world, as well as the loneliness that comes from his own existence. "Ploo!"

: ● '''[[Anabel Nack]]''' - Author, scientist, surgeon and parent. This quirky and frightening alchemist is the adopted mother of E'yami and E'kari. Nanabel Nabel by birth, she almost always goes by her pen-name "A.B. 'Nack'". Though her child rearing methods were always questionable at best, the most indisputable fact of it all is that Nack loves both of her girls very much. She is not above employing dark methods to ensure this mad-scientist keeps her loved ones safe. This lalafell's haunting laughter was picked up by E'kari as she was growing up. "Kuhuhuh....."

: ● '''[[Conrad Steelsong]]''' - This initially frighteningly large Ala Mhigan is actually the godparent of E'kari and Vektis' young daughter, E'kira. The four of them, as well as No'Ulla Khilik, all take up residence in the same house in the Mist. Conrad has obviously weathered the storm of many conflicts that have hardened his exterior. Despite his gruff demeanor, E'kari finds him to be a wonderful person and the closest thing to a father she's ever known.

: ● '''[[No'Ulla Khilik]]''' - The Ala Mhigan-weaver wife of Conrad Steelsong. She has recently returned from apprenticing in Ishgard to live with the Solsong household. E'kari finds her to be a skilled craftswoman and never tires of hearing about Ulla's special technique of Spell-Weaving. Ulla is a welcome addition to the family--E'kari just hopes that Vektis doesn't scare their new friend off with nonsensical antics.

: ● '''[[Nyscera Alarone]]''' - This mistress of shadowy death is a close friend of the twins' adopted mother. She is considered an aunt to E'kari and E'yami. Early on in E'kari stay at Heartwood, the dragon-riding assassin took E'kari, Bennett and Snowy in as pupils for physical and mental training. While it was grueling and at times crushing, E'kari owes her martial arts ability solely to these lessons. Nyscera taught E'kari the value of teamwork and also her how to be unphased by negative elements in her life.

: ● '''[[Rath Alarone]]''' - Nyscera's aloof husband--and by proxy--the twins' uncle. This applesauce-loving dark knight is the one that hired E'kari to work as the company alchemist--in no small part to do with the potent pain killers she was able to make for him after a fight that nearly ended in his death. He always seems have a joke lined up, even in the most bleak of situations.

: ● '''[[Bennett Cooper]]''' - E'kari's teammate and--since his adoption by Rath and Nyscera Alarone--cousin of sorts. E'kari sees Bennett as the shining future of their free company. While he makes mistakes and has a ways to go before he can truly master any of his arsenal of weapons, E'kari firmly believes this young boy is going to do great things. Could young Master Bennett be a something more than the average fighter...? "Cooper is Super..!" - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[E'vehlke Sohj]]''' - The maternal cousin of E'kari and E'yami. Vehlke is a fearless warrior with a strange accent. As she is a full blood Seeker of the Eft tribe, E'vehlke shares a striking resemblance to the twins' deceased mother.

: ● '''[[Sokhatai Borlaaq]]''' - This huntress is the wife of E'vehlke Sohj. She has a very specific way of talking. E'kari onced picked her brain about adventure and Au'Ra culture. She finds her delightful!

: ● '''[[Reina Sol]]''' - E'kari's half Keeper half Raen sister-in-law. She is the first person from Heartwood that the twins ever met, quickly taking the girls under her wing and giving them a place to stay. It was because of Reina that E'kari met Vektis. E'kari admires Reina as a strong and together person.

: ● '''[[Snowy Sol]]''' - E'kari's full miqo'te sister-in-law. Even before the two were related by marriage, E'kari has had a definite soft spot for this girl-genius in her heart. The two worked together in the clinic for some time, rather closely. In one occasion the two preformed life saving surgery on Vektis. E'kari's only qualm is that she fears this teen might be too relaxed about the dangerous world around her at times--but maybe that's just the anxiety talking.

: ● '''[[Xihvi'ir Valathri]]''' - Xihvi'ir, or 'Ashy' as the others have taken to calling him, is a kindly harp-player that has come into the service of Heartwood. Though E'kari doesn't know of his personal dealings in any intricate regard--other than his past as a gambler--she knows she can trust his character, as he is well loved by Nick. The Keeper has always loaned a helping hand to the company whenever a need arose, for that E'kari finds herself very grateful to her new friend. Though she doesn't know it yet, the two share an unexpected bond in blood.

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#4d0000; font-size:14px; color:#FFFFFF">Friends </div><div style="border:0px solid; padding:8px"> ===

: ● '''[[Sakeru Wakeru]]''' – This unsuspecting looking delivery boy has a dark past under the surface. A time ago, Sakeru divulged a portion of his history to E'kari and a few others. Oddly enough, she ended up trusting him more after learning he was a trained assassin. She was quite sad to see him leave for a time, but was much overjoyed at his return. Wherever this lalafell goes two things are a certain: death and dinner. "Did I leave the oven on..?" - Sakeru Wakeru

: ● '''[[Tustin Lafell]]''' - The first moment E'kari saw this lalafell he was being arrested on the free company lawn for the attempted armed robbery. Later when he returned to make his peace with Heartwood the two met and over time became close companions. Tustin's street-savvy, wild and hot-headed demeanor contrasts E'kari's bookish, nervous, awkwardness in a very positive way. This Dunesfolk left Heartwood some time ago to make something of himself out in the world. Since then he has begun studying medicine. He remains, to this day, one of E'kari's most treasured and beloved friends. "I'm not cute! I'm manly as hell!" - Tustin Lafell

: ● '''[[Tynos Riller]]''' - This towering black mage initially greatly frightened E'kari upon their first meeting. Perhaps it was his scar, his serious expression or his sheer size--regardless, she now knows him as a very kind-hearted and family oriented leader. He sacrifices much of himself to keep Heartwood's members safe--and frankly--works too hard. It would be a shock to find him away from the clinic for longer than a month. It's safe to say, E'kari's pharmacy has a special 'Tynos Budget' for the small fortune it takes to keep this misfortune prone Elezen on his feet. "My goodness..! Hurt again, Master Tynos...?" - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[Cioccolato Stella]]''' - Cioccolato, or Lady Cio as E'kari calls her, works as a nurse and aspiring doctor for Heartwood. This charming and kind healer can often be seen sporting pastel colors and traveling around in the company of her Demon Brick, Cenere, which is a close friend of Max. E'kari has always been very fond of this miqo'te since her arrival and is one of the few she trusts to care for Kira and Max in her absence.

: ● '''[[Kaiya Ailbhe]]''' - The librarian, chief of medicine and over-all brains of Heartwood. E'kari admires the patience of this woman but also feels horribly guilty that the actions of her free company have driven Kaiya to take up smoking. Occasionally E'kari will bring Kaiya cinnamon sticks en masse as an attempt to give her something roughly cigarette shaped to hold and suck on. It is unknown if Doctor Ailhbe actually enjoys these or if she is merely humoring E'kari. Hopefully at the very least she is not being driven to smoke those as well...

: ● '''[[Zana Amaro]]''' - An aloof gunslinger and self proclaimed alley-cat. Despite being told not to, E'kari still insists on respectfully referring to this miqo'te as Lady Zana. When this woman is armed and in a foul mood . . . heaven help her target. E'kari has seen Zana rip a man's arm clean off. However Zana does also have a soft side. When E'kari was gravely injured in an attempt on her life, Zana stationed herself in the clinic to watch over her.

: ● '''[[Narumi Kotokaze]]''' - More commonly referred to as "Kota". E'kari met this Maelstrom affiliated bounty hunter on the road when she was set upon by highwaymen--which Kota easily dispatched. Since then the Raen has been promoted to first lieutenant of the Storm-guard and assigned to work as the handler of the former pirate Skyfwyb. The officer comissions her medicine from E'kari's "Alchemist's Alley".

:● '''[[Skyfwyb Aergankawyn]]''' - E'kari was not fond of this woman in the start. The monsterous Seawolf had committed crimes against Heartwood on numerous occasions. E'kari was glad to hear of her sting and arrest by the Maelstrom. In the time that has followed, however, the curt and belligerent captain seems to have changed her ways to some extent. E'kari now views her slightly more favorably after having witnessed Skyfwyb's capacity to care genuinely for another person. It was also by the aid of this former pirate that the Solsong household was able to cross the sea to the east. As it stands now they are friends.

: ● '''[[Moralee Relen]]''' - Known to E'kari as "Mordry". This Au'Ra woman is rather complex for many reasons. Regardless E'kari cares greatly about Moralee and Mora in equal measure--although Mordry's "Moralee-half" is more familiar to her. Some time ago Mordry required E'kari's help with a somewhat risky task. This evoked the ire of her usually perpetually cheerful husband. Vektis has yet to forgive Mordry to this day, which fills the Seeker with guilt and remorse. However, because of that mission, E'kari learned how to brew a special and ancient potion she dubbed, "The Draught of the Dreamwalker".

: ● '''[[Neville Synch]]''' - This good natured marksman is the mate of Zana Amaro and the best friend of E'yami Amane. Over the period she has known him, this man has done a lot for E'kari's family which she could never repay. Though she does not know him too well personally she trusts him fully regardless. She always gets a chuckle out of the banter between Neville and Vektis.

: ● '''[[Vahn Quietfury]]''' - A sweet little boy with a curious connection to an elder dragon. E'kari first met the half lalafell on a caravan mission that was attacked. In the absence of his own mother, the Seeker would often look after Vahn when his father was away. One day when Vahn was playing with some of the other boys in the company yard he exhibited dangerous abilities. He and his father were sent away for the potential danger they posed. E'kari still loves Vahn like a son.

: ● '''[[Brandon Stormstrider]]''' - The Hyur father of Vahn Quietfury. E'kari met Brandon a short time after Vahn. The two became close friends, as the miqo'te was one of the few Heartwood members Brandon trusted. She would often do simple favors for the father and son to make their lives easier such as cleaning or bringing home pineapples. Upon their leaving to a new safehaven the Seeker found herself deeply saddend, however Brandon still sneaks over to the company on occasion. Brandon has placed E'kari under the protection of his men known only as "The Rogues".

: ● '''[[Enkhjargal Dalamiq]]''' - This stoic summoner is actually E'kari's master. He took her under his wing when she first arrived to Heartwood and had to terrorize her into being able to use her magic for anything beyond healing. His methods worked and looking back, E'kari owes him all of the strength she possesses now. Beyond that, she thinks he is a wonderful person who has natural ability with children. Who knew!

: ● '''[[Camille Everardi]]''' - Camille is Enkhjargal Dalamiq's wife and a talented mage, among many other things. E'kari has seen Camille fight in more than one way in the past with spars. She found this woman to be a strong female rolemodel for her in the past when she was just learning to fight--and still looks up to her to this day. E'kari couldn't be happier that her master and friend found happiness in each other's company.

: ● '''[[Chokho Viqqoh]]''' - A fierce, fiery and loyal amnesiac-Keeper who recently joined Heartwood. Since her arrival, Chokho and E'kari have become fast friends; bonding over their shared love of martial arts and string instruments. Though the two differ greatly in temperament and personality they have a shared respect for one another.

: ● '''[[Dead Willow]]''' - This Gyr Abanian born Hellsguard was Vektis’ teacher while he studied Red Magic. While possessing the—not uncommon—steely gaze of a pit fighter, Willow has also expressed true care and kindness toward her apprentice and his family. E’kari has come to respect Willow a great deal, so much so that she’s offered the Roegadyn a teaching position at her school upon its completion. 

:● '''[[Nevrynn Alarone]]''' - While E'kari initially mistrusted the Seeker for his roguish persona and wanderlust, in resent months she has come to warm up to her sister's mate. Though she may not know him as well as she might like, he makes her sister happy. And the affection between the two are plain to see.

: ● '''[[Jake Jakkya]]''' - A red-lenses wearing void-mage who has spent a great deal of his life as a pit fighter. This spellsword is particularly close to E'kari's adopted mother, Nack, which makes him a brother of sorts. E'kari sorely wishes he would be less devil-may-care in demeanor at times, or at least care a bit more about his own life. She's always pleased when he pops up unharmed now and again. This former criminal has been blacklisted from Heartwood for his criminal debts to the Syndicate--though he has since paid them back in full, becoming an ally to the group.

: ● '''[[Ash Valken]]''' - The tall, brooding brother of Nyscera who has a strong dislike for Rath. E'kari met this former bandit spying on her a few times. Eventually the two had a sit-down conversation and became close--which was a new thing for the Au'Ra. E'kari taught Ash how to play a grasswhistle, fixed his broken hearing-aid and engaged in a playful spar. Somehow, in one way or another, most of their interactions end in awkward sexual-tension. The day Ash left Heartwood, E'kari gave him a necklace made from a strap of her doctor's bag to remember her by and encouraged him to follow his dreams.

: ● '''[[Akiyuki Okuma]]''' - The large, quiet, but overall pleasant husband of Cio who has joined Heartwood since his marriage to the plucky, pastel nursemaid. This reserved Au'Ra is a welcome addition to the family.

: ● '''[[Kenoni Eien’no]]''' - The betrothed of her friend Moralee. A stern and stoic acquaintance but never the less, E'kari admires his loyalty and commitment to Mordry. She hopes the two will have a wonderful life together with their child.

: ● '''[[J'edite Shedai]]''' - A fellow enthusiast of martial arts that spends most of her time roaming Thanalan seeking glory for the Jackal tribe. The two have had run-ins here and there as J'edite was on hunts and once sparred under the Sultan tree. The Seekers employ very different styles of their own making: while E'kari fights with her heavy handed "Golem Step" ideal for doing battle with armed and armored foes; J'edite uses fast kicks transitioning into fluid jabs in her "Fire Dancer" style that proves to be the bane of slower opponents. As it stands the two are friendly rivals.

: ● '''[[Alpon Adpon]]''' - The Pink Punisher! E'kari has met this "battle-chef" in passing more than once. The lalafell's skill in combat seems to rival his culinary prowess.

: ● '''[[Namaka Ebisu]]''' - A strange and sweet water-sprite who lives in a fountain. You want tree slugs? Because this is how you get tree slugs.

: ● '''[[Alistar Stormfist]]''' - Found by Heartwood on the road to Little Ala Mhigo, this former Garlean slave was near death and wearing a magitek collar. With no where else to go and no life to return to, this gentle giant returned with the caravan to the Heartwood Homestead.

: ● '''[[Lucinda Kovix]]''' - This kindly and capable, Ishgardian drifter met Doctor Sol as she was returning from conversing with the Everschade and her husband's chocobo ran off. Lucinda and E'kari worked together to catch the bird and got to talking about Lucy's need for work and also to find her missing brother. The Miqo'te has since come to stay at Heartwood which has overjoyed E'kari.

: ● '''[[L'nela Varya]]''' - A one-eyed woman who really enjoys taking a bite out of life! In all seriousness--L'nela is a chipper and quirky person. A little emotional at times, but rightfully so; as her recent years have been filled with trauma. Both physical and emotional. Careful, she likes to nibble!

:● '''[[Tharl Oom Khash - NPC]]''' - A being made of corruption who takes his name from his place of creation. While to most guardians of the Shroud he would be a natural enemy anyway--this thing has taken a special and terrible shine to tormenting E'kari and all of Heartwood. His track record of terrible deeds is staggering and body count ever on the rise. His most memorable in E'kari's mind were her children, Sagu'a and Cize. The vengeful mother aided in his demise by pummeling him with special stones--from Tynos and Kaiya--she formed into barbaric gauntlets.


:● '''[[The Pumpking - NPC]]''' - This strange and otherwordly being was initially just an unsettling presence that occasionally appeared in the Heartwood halls offering bargains for steep moral prices. It was not until this squash-headed man manipulated Tustin Lafell into a contract that he became E'kari's enemy. The Seeker used excessive force against the entitiy, beating him into a puddle of black ooze. He has since returned to haunt Heartwood, though has stifled a sum of E'kari's animosity toward him by fixing her carbuncle's shattered gem and helping finish off Khash for good.

== <div style="padding:10px 15px; background:#4d0000; font-size:20px; color:#ffffff">'''Character Trivia'''</div>==
 
:■ E'kari refers to people as 'master' or 'lady' because as a young newcomer to Gridania she was hazed by the local youths; who told her that it was how non-tribal people spoke to one another. Excited to make 'friends' the Seeker picked this up almost immediately. It was not until this was an ingrained habit that she learned it was all a ruse for E'kari to make a fool of herself every time she spoke.
:■ Despite the skill not coming up particularly often, E'kari is adept at Thavnarian belly-dancing. This and many similar styles of celebratory dance were used among she and her kin in their tribal lands; though this is actually not their people's only connection to the middle east. The dress style, use of Alchemy and herbal medicines, even their taste in food has been greatly influenced by trade with Thavnair, much like many others who reside in Thanalan.
:■ E'kari will often experience an inconsolable sense of dread when E'yami is in emotional distress or danger, even if they are far apart. This link between twins seems to go both ways.
:■ Due to E'kari's heavy aspection to Earth she is notoriously difficult to knock off her feet and has immense stamina; adversely, she is not as quick as she'd like to be and swimming in deep water takes a significant amount of energy.
:■ Though most are unaware--or attribute some of her mannerisms to merely being quirky--E'kari actually suffers from high functioning autism. Social queues tend to be her biggest hurdle, along with focusing on the big picture of tasks as opposed to minut details, and sorting out painful emotions.

<div>
=== '''♦ General''' ===
<hr>
 
: (This page has recently undergone a major rework! Check it out if you want to know what has changed!)
: This overly polite and apologetic medicine-woman can often be found scuttling about making deliveries for her shop. Due to her diligent work, E'kari's Alchemist Alley has become one of the Alchemist Guild's favored subsidiaries and is frequently called upon to do business as a representative of their organization. <div>
 



=== '''♦ Appearance''' ===
<hr>
 

: E'kari is a Seeker/Keeper half-breed who carries some physical traits from her mother and father. Her eyes are narrow slit-pupils, skin pale but capable of bronzing in the sun like a Seeker; though her fur is fluffy and tail is long like a Keeper.

: This miqo'te has a snow-print mane--white with undertones if black and grey--with pale blue eyes and bangle-stripes that frame her face.

: In true mage form--E'kari can usually be found in little to no armor, even when going into battle. It slows her down in preforming martial arts and also disrupts her casting to wear anything too heavy. Instead she prefers comfortable robes or her labcoat. <div>
 



=== '''♦ History ''' ===
<hr>
 
: The parentage of E'yami and E'kari is a taboo matter. One that the Nunh of the Eft ordered upon the strictest of penalty, never to be spoken of. While their mother--E'yari--was a Seeker and one of the designated breeding females to the Nunh; their father--Sagu'a--was actually a roving Keeper who had long since left behind a subservient life with his maternal-family in the Shroud to be a traveling poet, minstrel and anthropologist. The two Miqo'te met when Sagu'a and his scholarly lalafell companion, Anabel Nack, sought a place to rest during their travels. The tribe apprehensively took the researchers in as temporary guests. In that time Sagu'a and E'yari began a secret relationship.

:When it came to light that the two had been together Sagu'a was put to death, and his body unceremoniously left to rot in the heat of the desert just outside of their territory.

: In a double blow, not only was E'yari stricken with grief, but she also discovered she was pregnant. Due to a combination of her melancholy of her lost love, the despair at what her life would be at the whims of her Nunh and complications during the birthing process--E'yari died shortly after her second kit was delivered. The last words she managed to speak before slipping away were the names of her children. Both Doman, in honor of their father who fancied the culture. Yami, meaning dark, and Hikari meaning light--though the midwives were unfamiliar with the tongue, mistaking it simply for /E/kari.

: Upon the twins' birth into the Eft--as per tradition--the clan made a ceremonial offering of their namesake to Azeyma that would determine their role in the tribe. When the flesh was melted from the bones,their appointed wise-woman had determined E'kari was to be the next shaman while E'yami's bones were an augury that she was preordained to be a great warrior.

: The Nunh was pleased by the news and demanded celebration, but found that the females of the tribe were not nearly as thrilled. Many believed that the pale-faced kits with hair of black and white were cursed; killing their mother with ill-omen. Nack took this opportunity to offer her services in raising her friends' children and providing them with education.

:The lalafell's silver tongue managed to coerce the Nunh to allow this arrangement--given he had few other options. The three were put up in a yurt close to the Nunh's own home to keep an eye on the foreigner.

: In the years that proceeded their youth, the twins were given a proper education by the professor--in between being stolen away to be taught their duties to the Eft. While Yami practiced fighting the other tribal youths, Kari was introduced to herbal medicine, burial rites and how to divinate the future with the practice of bone reading.

: Despite the twins' diligent efforts to hone their skills and fulfill thier tribal roles, they sorely lacked any sort of companionship from the other children of the Eft--having learned from their mother's to be wary of the pale-faced Seekers. Because of this, Nack took it upon herself to try and teach the girls the basic art of carbuncle summoning and passed her own Topaz and Emerald gems down to each of them.

: Demure and plagued with anxiety, E'kari was given Nicholas--Nack's Emerald carbuncle--as a therapy animal; while E'yami received Whackara--a Topaz companion who had enough spunk and energy to keep up with her. Both arcanist-pets has served the Professor faithfully since her own youth and passed without incident into the hands of their new masters.

: As the twins neared their teenage years, an odd habit of E'kari's came to light. She could often be found speaking to the streams, winds and rock-faces in the territory which the tribe found very suspicious. Some of the more superstitious members of the tribe were convinced the was speaking to the dead; the Nunh believed this was some gift from the Warden, proving his right to rule was divine.

: Knowing better than to believe any of that, Nack speculated that this was a hereditary trait, passed down from Sagu'a, who was a Hearer. Once more the professor went to the Nunh and convinced him that he should allow her to take the twins to train abroad in Gridania that they might return more powerful and capable of serving him. He agreed to the idea and within a fortnight Nack brought the girls to the Shroud.

: Once in Gridania, E'kari joined the Conjurer's Guild as a student while E'yami sought training in both lance and bow.

: Though eager to make new friends the Seeker found this was easier said than done. The high populous of Hyur and Elezen looked condescendingly upon the tribal girls. It was not out of the ordinary for the more crude classmates to inquire if her parents were cousins. This trouble fitting in was compounded by the fact she didn't seem to learn at the same rate as everyone else. E'kari would often focus on small details of things, so much so that she could not intake an entire lesson. A classroom setting did her little credit, but during her free moments she would visit the Everschade and commune with the Elementals.

: On one such visit, a strong wind blew a small branch down from the great tree; which, E'kari took and mended with magic that it might be used as a crook.

: Due to her natural affinity for the forest and her difficulty with conventional methods of learning she was taken as a personal apprentice to Master E-Sumi-Yan, a patient Padjal who specialized in the guidance of Hearers. Discovering the trick seemed to be hands-on learning, he took every opportunity to have the Seeker accompany him while he worked. E'kari improved quickly under his tutelage, able to stand as a conjurer in her own right.

: Near the end of the girl's time abroad, the Seventh Umbral Calamity struck. With her guild called to act as medics on the field, the twins soon found themselves on the heels of disaster for the duration of the event. E'kari and her classmates followed the guildmasters into the chaos, assisting those who had been wounded or fallen. E'yami acted as E'kari's personal guard as she preformed field surgeries and magical healing. The two witnessed death up close on more than one occasion, finding themselves changed by the end of it all.

: After all was said and done, the girls' respective masters deemed them both students no longer. And while this was a sweet taste, it was also made bitter by the memories of carnage that now haunted them both.

: The twins returned to their desert territory as heroines who represented their tribe with valor and courage. The Nunh held festivities long into the night.It seemed as though they'd finally been accepted, but neither seemed particularly content with staying within the territory any more--not after all they had been through. Together E'yami and E'kari traveled to the Shrine of the Warden, offering an Eft in a pyre for guidance. When the flesh had melted from the bones, Azeyma's will bid they must go--for they had more to do out in the world. E'kari shared this edict with their people and with heavy hearts, they left again to find and fulfill their duties elsewhere until the time the Warden calls for them to return.

=== '''♦ Behavior ''' ===

 

: E'kari has a hard time learning in a conventional sense often requires an exceedingly patient teacher in order to have any real success. However once she does learn something--or is preforming a task she excels in--she is hard-pressed to be outshined.

: While still generally being good natured and apologetic, in combat E'kari is capable of being a formidable opponent. Being a conjurer she will often take the role of a healer, but her connection to the Elementals has also allowed to take a unique approach to martial arts. The Seeker will often harden a stone skin over her hands and feet while delivering blows, or using gales of wind to enhance her movement speed. She has named her self-made fighting style, "The Golem Step" which emphasizes momentum and fluidity. (Much of her techniques in form are inspired by real world Zui Quan)

: Despite her obvious shortcomings, E'kari is a very hopeful person and goes into every situation with optimism for success, even if she has failed at the task a hundred times before. Sometimes it's the hundred and first try that brings success.

: ● '''[[E'yami Amane]]''' - E'kari's protective fraternal twin sister, older by 7 minutes. E'yami has always been a strong source of strength, comfort and adventure as the two have grown. Though she has a very tomboyish and wears tough outer shell, E'kari knows that her sister is actually very caring and sensitive--always putting the needs of others before herself; and that is what makes her E'kari's hero.

: 💑 '''[[Vektis Sol]]''' - E'kari's boisterous, free-spirited and loveable husband. When they first met she admired his self confidence--often shyly observing him kicking down doors to shout his own name at people. There are few in the world who can raise E'kari's spirits like Vektis can. The two became close friends and then a couple shortly there after. Though many people see his behavior as a nuisance, E'kari celebrates her husband's off-beat mannerisms--unless of course they prove to be dangerous. She loves him to the end of the world and back. The two are married and have two young children together. "Yes, you have been informed correctly. Vektis is, indeed, the bestest." - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[E'kira Sol]]''' - The young daughter of Vektis and E'kari, making her a mixed breed Keeper/Seeker. Regardless of whatever situation she's in, E'kira tends to maintain a positive attitude. While Kira can be uncomfortably blunt as well as a bit bossy, she also has a fair mind and good natured heart. She cares immensely about her friends and is always striving to make more. This kitten has two dreams: to be a Dragoon and a Gryphon tamer.

: ● '''[[Maxwell Sol]]''' - Born to the Eft tribe--to the name E'rhaja Tia--and orphaned after his sire was defeated and overthrown by another male. E'kari picked up the kitten; she felt a kinship with him for their similar origins. Upon his arrival at Heartwood to the Sol family he was renamed by Vektis and E'kari so he might grow up feeling like he belonged. E’kari does not plan to inform him of his true parentage until he reaches adulthood. Now seven summers old, Max is shy, polite and thoughtful. Especially fond of tinkering with small shiny objects and collecting beads, rocks and shells. He has an exceptionally bright mind for a boy his age, though is often roped into his younger sister’s schemes.

: ● '''[[Nicholas Nack - Carbuncle]]''' - The ever-present summoned companion of E'kari. This carbuncle has been with E'kari throughout the Seeker's entire life as a sort of therapy animal, helping to keep her anxiety in check. With a gem layered with complex geometries: Anabel Nack made it so he and his sister creation--Whackara--could form memories; and with that, personalities. Nick is generally gentle and quiet, with a keen ability to sense people's emotional needs. As such, he tends to gravitate to people whom he suspects need comfort. Nick is aware of his own artificial intellegence and often grapples with his place in the world, as well as the loneliness that comes from his own existence. "Ploo!"

: ● '''[[Anabel Nack]]''' - Author, scientist, surgeon and parent. This quirky and frightening alchemist is the adopted mother of E'yami and E'kari. Nanabel Nabel by birth, she almost always goes by her pen-name "A.B. 'Nack'". Though her child rearing methods were always questionable at best, the most indisputable fact of it all is that Nack loves both of her girls very much. She is not above employing dark methods to ensure this mad-scientist keeps her loved ones safe. This lalafell's haunting laughter was picked up by E'kari as she was growing up. "Kuhuhuh....."

: ● '''[[Conrad Steelsong]]''' - This initially frighteningly large Ala Mhigan is actually the godparent of E'kari and Vektis' young daughter, E'kira. The four of them, as well as No'Ulla Khilik, all take up residence in the same house in the Mist. Conrad has obviously weathered the storm of many conflicts that have hardened his exterior. Despite his gruff demeanor, E'kari finds him to be a wonderful person and the closest thing to a father she's ever known.

: ● '''[[No'Ulla Khilik]]''' - The Ala Mhigan-weaver wife of Conrad Steelsong. She has recently returned from apprenticing in Ishgard to live with the Solsong household. E'kari finds her to be a skilled craftswoman and never tires of hearing about Ulla's special technique of Spell-Weaving. Ulla is a welcome addition to the family--E'kari just hopes that Vektis doesn't scare their new friend off with nonsensical antics.

: ● '''[[Nyscera Alarone]]''' - This mistress of shadowy death is a close friend of the twins' adopted mother. She is considered an aunt to E'kari and E'yami. Early on in E'kari stay at Heartwood, the dragon-riding assassin took E'kari, Bennett and Snowy in as pupils for physical and mental training. While it was grueling and at times crushing, E'kari owes her martial arts ability solely to these lessons. Nyscera taught E'kari the value of teamwork and also her how to be unphased by negative elements in her life.

: ● '''[[Rath Alarone]]''' - Nyscera's aloof husband--and by proxy--the twins' uncle. This applesauce-loving dark knight is the one that hired E'kari to work as the company alchemist--in no small part to do with the potent pain killers she was able to make for him after a fight that nearly ended in his death. He always seems have a joke lined up, even in the most bleak of situations.

: ● '''[[Bennett Cooper]]''' - E'kari's teammate and--since his adoption by Rath and Nyscera Alarone--cousin of sorts. E'kari sees Bennett as the shining future of their free company. While he makes mistakes and has a ways to go before he can truly master any of his arsenal of weapons, E'kari firmly believes this young boy is going to do great things. Could young Master Bennett be a something more than the average fighter...? "Cooper is Super..!" - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[E'vehlke Sohj]]''' - The maternal cousin of E'kari and E'yami. Vehlke is a fearless warrior with a strange accent. As she is a full blood Seeker of the Eft tribe, E'vehlke shares a striking resemblance to the twins' deceased mother.

: ● '''[[Sokhatai Borlaaq]]''' - This huntress is the wife of E'vehlke Sohj. She has a very specific way of talking. E'kari onced picked her brain about adventure and Au'Ra culture. She finds her delightful!

: ● '''[[Reina Sol]]''' - E'kari's half Keeper half Raen sister-in-law. She is the first person from Heartwood that the twins ever met, quickly taking the girls under her wing and giving them a place to stay. It was because of Reina that E'kari met Vektis. E'kari admires Reina as a strong and together person.

: ● '''[[Snowy Sol]]''' - E'kari's full miqo'te sister-in-law. Even before the two were related by marriage, E'kari has had a definite soft spot for this girl-genius in her heart. The two worked together in the clinic for some time, rather closely. In one occasion the two preformed life saving surgery on Vektis. E'kari's only qualm is that she fears this teen might be too relaxed about the dangerous world around her at times--but maybe that's just the anxiety talking.

: ● '''[[Xihvi'ir Valathri]]''' - Xihvi'ir, or 'Ashy' as the others have taken to calling him, is a kindly harp-player that has come into the service of Heartwood. Though E'kari doesn't know of his personal dealings in any intricate regard--other than his past as a gambler--she knows she can trust his character, as he is well loved by Nick. The Keeper has always loaned a helping hand to the company whenever a need arose, for that E'kari finds herself very grateful to her new friend. Though she doesn't know it yet, the two share an unexpected bond in blood.

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#4d0000; font-size:14px; color:#FFFFFF">Friends </div><div style="border:0px solid; padding:8px"> ===

: ● '''[[Sakeru Wakeru]]''' – This unsuspecting looking delivery boy has a dark past under the surface. A time ago, Sakeru divulged a portion of his history to E'kari and a few others. Oddly enough, she ended up trusting him more after learning he was a trained assassin. She was quite sad to see him leave for a time, but was much overjoyed at his return. Wherever this lalafell goes two things are a certain: death and dinner. "Did I leave the oven on..?" - Sakeru Wakeru

: ● '''[[Tustin Lafell]]''' - The first moment E'kari saw this lalafell he was being arrested on the free company lawn for the attempted armed robbery. Later when he returned to make his peace with Heartwood the two met and over time became close companions. Tustin's street-savvy, wild and hot-headed demeanor contrasts E'kari's bookish, nervous, awkwardness in a very positive way. This Dunesfolk left Heartwood some time ago to make something of himself out in the world. Since then he has begun studying medicine. He remains, to this day, one of E'kari's most treasured and beloved friends. "I'm not cute! I'm manly as hell!" - Tustin Lafell

: ● '''[[Tynos Riller]]''' - This towering black mage initially greatly frightened E'kari upon their first meeting. Perhaps it was his scar, his serious expression or his sheer size--regardless, she now knows him as a very kind-hearted and family oriented leader. He sacrifices much of himself to keep Heartwood's members safe--and frankly--works too hard. It would be a shock to find him away from the clinic for longer than a month. It's safe to say, E'kari's pharmacy has a special 'Tynos Budget' for the small fortune it takes to keep this misfortune prone Elezen on his feet. "My goodness..! Hurt again, Master Tynos...?" - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[Cioccolato Stella]]''' - Cioccolato, or Lady Cio as E'kari calls her, works as a nurse and aspiring doctor for Heartwood. This charming and kind healer can often be seen sporting pastel colors and traveling around in the company of her Demon Brick, Cenere, which is a close friend of Max. E'kari has always been very fond of this miqo'te since her arrival and is one of the few she trusts to care for Kira and Max in her absence.

: ● '''[[Kaiya Ailbhe]]''' - The librarian, chief of medicine and over-all brains of Heartwood. E'kari admires the patience of this woman but also feels horribly guilty that the actions of her free company have driven Kaiya to take up smoking. Occasionally E'kari will bring Kaiya cinnamon sticks en masse as an attempt to give her something roughly cigarette shaped to hold and suck on. It is unknown if Doctor Ailhbe actually enjoys these or if she is merely humoring E'kari. Hopefully at the very least she is not being driven to smoke those as well...

: ● '''[[Zana Amaro]]''' - An aloof gunslinger and self proclaimed alley-cat. Despite being told not to, E'kari still insists on respectfully referring to this miqo'te as Lady Zana. When this woman is armed and in a foul mood . . . heaven help her target. E'kari has seen Zana rip a man's arm clean off. However Zana does also have a soft side. When E'kari was gravely injured in an attempt on her life, Zana stationed herself in the clinic to watch over her.

: ● '''[[Narumi Kotokaze]]''' - More commonly referred to as "Kota". E'kari met this Maelstrom affiliated bounty hunter on the road when she was set upon by highwaymen--which Kota easily dispatched. Since then the Raen has been promoted to first lieutenant of the Storm-guard and assigned to work as the handler of the former pirate Skyfwyb. The officer comissions her medicine from E'kari's "Alchemist's Alley".

:● '''[[Skyfwyb Aergankawyn]]''' - E'kari was not fond of this woman in the start. The monsterous Seawolf had committed crimes against Heartwood on numerous occasions. E'kari was glad to hear of her sting and arrest by the Maelstrom. In the time that has followed, however, the curt and belligerent captain seems to have changed her ways to some extent. E'kari now views her slightly more favorably after having witnessed Skyfwyb's capacity to care genuinely for another person. It was also by the aid of this former pirate that the Solsong household was able to cross the sea to the east. As it stands now they are friends.

: ● '''[[Moralee Relen]]''' - Known to E'kari as "Mordry". This Au'Ra woman is rather complex for many reasons. Regardless E'kari cares greatly about Moralee and Mora in equal measure--although Mordry's "Moralee-half" is more familiar to her. Some time ago Mordry required E'kari's help with a somewhat risky task. This evoked the ire of her usually perpetually cheerful husband. Vektis has yet to forgive Mordry to this day, which fills the Seeker with guilt and remorse. However, because of that mission, E'kari learned how to brew a special and ancient potion she dubbed, "The Draught of the Dreamwalker".

: ● '''[[Neville Synch]]''' - This good natured marksman is the mate of Zana Amaro and the best friend of E'yami Amane. Over the period she has known him, this man has done a lot for E'kari's family which she could never repay. Though she does not know him too well personally she trusts him fully regardless. She always gets a chuckle out of the banter between Neville and Vektis.

: ● '''[[Vahn Quietfury]]''' - A sweet little boy with a curious connection to an elder dragon. E'kari first met the half lalafell on a caravan mission that was attacked. In the absence of his own mother, the Seeker would often look after Vahn when his father was away. One day when Vahn was playing with some of the other boys in the company yard he exhibited dangerous abilities. He and his father were sent away for the potential danger they posed. E'kari still loves Vahn like a son.

: ● '''[[Brandon Stormstrider]]''' - The Hyur father of Vahn Quietfury. E'kari met Brandon a short time after Vahn. The two became close friends, as the miqo'te was one of the few Heartwood members Brandon trusted. She would often do simple favors for the father and son to make their lives easier such as cleaning or bringing home pineapples. Upon their leaving to a new safehaven the Seeker found herself deeply saddend, however Brandon still sneaks over to the company on occasion. Brandon has placed E'kari under the protection of his men known only as "The Rogues".

: ● '''[[Enkhjargal Dalamiq]]''' - This stoic summoner is actually E'kari's master. He took her under his wing when she first arrived to Heartwood and had to terrorize her into being able to use her magic for anything beyond healing. His methods worked and looking back, E'kari owes him all of the strength she possesses now. Beyond that, she thinks he is a wonderful person who has natural ability with children. Who knew!

: ● '''[[Camille Everardi]]''' - Camille is Enkhjargal Dalamiq's wife and a talented mage, among many other things. E'kari has seen Camille fight in more than one way in the past with spars. She found this woman to be a strong female rolemodel for her in the past when she was just learning to fight--and still looks up to her to this day. E'kari couldn't be happier that her master and friend found happiness in each other's company.

: ● '''[[Chokho Viqqoh]]''' - A fierce, fiery and loyal amnesiac-Keeper who recently joined Heartwood. Since her arrival, Chokho and E'kari have become fast friends; bonding over their shared love of martial arts and string instruments. Though the two differ greatly in temperament and personality they have a shared respect for one another.

: ● '''[[Dead Willow]]''' - This Gyr Abanian born Hellsguard was Vektis’ teacher while he studied Red Magic. While possessing the—not uncommon—steely gaze of a pit fighter, Willow has also expressed true care and kindness toward her apprentice and his family. E’kari has come to respect Willow a great deal, so much so that she’s offered the Roegadyn a teaching position at her school upon its completion. 

:● '''[[Nevrynn Alarone]]''' - While E'kari initially mistrusted the Seeker for his roguish persona and wanderlust, in resent months she has come to warm up to her sister's mate. Though she may not know him as well as she might like, he makes her sister happy. And the affection between the two are plain to see.

: ● '''[[Jake Jakkya]]''' - A red-lenses wearing void-mage who has spent a great deal of his life as a pit fighter. This spellsword is particularly close to E'kari's adopted mother, Nack, which makes him a brother of sorts. E'kari sorely wishes he would be less devil-may-care in demeanor at times, or at least care a bit more about his own life. She's always pleased when he pops up unharmed now and again. This former criminal has been blacklisted from Heartwood for his criminal debts to the Syndicate--though he has since paid them back in full, becoming an ally to the group.

: ● '''[[Ash Valken]]''' - The tall, brooding brother of Nyscera who has a strong dislike for Rath. E'kari met this former bandit spying on her a few times. Eventually the two had a sit-down conversation and became close--which was a new thing for the Au'Ra. E'kari taught Ash how to play a grasswhistle, fixed his broken hearing-aid and engaged in a playful spar. Somehow, in one way or another, most of their interactions end in awkward sexual-tension. The day Ash left Heartwood, E'kari gave him a necklace made from a strap of her doctor's bag to remember her by and encouraged him to follow his dreams.

: ● '''[[Akiyuki Okuma]]''' - The large, quiet, but overall pleasant husband of Cio who has joined Heartwood since his marriage to the plucky, pastel nursemaid. This reserved Au'Ra is a welcome addition to the family.

: ● '''[[Kenoni Eien’no]]''' - The betrothed of her friend Moralee. A stern and stoic acquaintance but never the less, E'kari admires his loyalty and commitment to Mordry. She hopes the two will have a wonderful life together with their child.

: ● '''[[J'edite Shedai]]''' - A fellow enthusiast of martial arts that spends most of her time roaming Thanalan seeking glory for the Jackal tribe. The two have had run-ins here and there as J'edite was on hunts and once sparred under the Sultan tree. The Seekers employ very different styles of their own making: while E'kari fights with her heavy handed "Golem Step" ideal for doing battle with armed and armored foes; J'edite uses fast kicks transitioning into fluid jabs in her "Fire Dancer" style that proves to be the bane of slower opponents. As it stands the two are friendly rivals.

: ● '''[[Alpon Adpon]]''' - The Pink Punisher! E'kari has met this "battle-chef" in passing more than once. The lalafell's skill in combat seems to rival his culinary prowess.

: ● '''[[Namaka Ebisu]]''' - A strange and sweet water-sprite who lives in a fountain. You want tree slugs? Because this is how you get tree slugs.

: ● '''[[Alistar Stormfist]]''' - Found by Heartwood on the road to Little Ala Mhigo, this former Garlean slave was near death and wearing a magitek collar. With no where else to go and no life to return to, this gentle giant returned with the caravan to the Heartwood Homestead.

: ● '''[[Lucinda Kovix]]''' - This kindly and capable, Ishgardian drifter met Doctor Sol as she was returning from conversing with the Everschade and her husband's chocobo ran off. Lucinda and E'kari worked together to catch the bird and got to talking about Lucy's need for work and also to find her missing brother. The Miqo'te has since come to stay at Heartwood which has overjoyed E'kari.

: ● '''[[L'nela Varya]]''' - A one-eyed woman who really enjoys taking a bite out of life! In all seriousness--L'nela is a chipper and quirky person. A little emotional at times, but rightfully so; as her recent years have been filled with trauma. Both physical and emotional. Careful, she likes to nibble!
 

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#4d0000;font-size:14px;color:#FFFFFF;">Disliked</div><div style="border:0px solid; padding:8px">===

:● '''[[Tharl Oom Khash - NPC]]''' - A being made of corruption who takes his name from his place of creation. While to most guardians of the Shroud he would be a natural enemy anyway--this thing has taken a special and terrible shine to tormenting E'kari and all of Heartwood. His track record of terrible deeds is staggering and body count ever on the rise. His most memorable in E'kari's mind were her children, Sagu'a and Cize. The vengeful mother aided in his demise by pummeling him with special stones--from Tynos and Kaiya--she formed into barbaric gauntlets.


:● '''[[The Pumpking - NPC]]''' - This strange and otherwordly being was initially just an unsettling presence that occasionally appeared in the Heartwood halls offering bargains for steep moral prices. It was not until this squash-headed man manipulated Tustin Lafell into a contract that he became E'kari's enemy. The Seeker used excessive force against the entitiy, beating him into a puddle of black ooze. He has since returned to haunt Heartwood, though has stifled a sum of E'kari's animosity toward him by fixing her carbuncle's shattered gem and helping finish off Khash for good.

== <div style="padding:10px 15px; background:#4d0000; font-size:20px; color:#ffffff">'''Character Trivia'''</div>==
 
:■ E'kari refers to people as 'master' or 'lady' because as a young newcomer to Gridania she was hazed by the local youths; who told her that it was how non-tribal people spoke to one another. Excited to make 'friends' the Seeker picked this up almost immediately. It was not until this was an ingrained habit that she learned it was all a ruse for E'kari to make a fool of herself every time she spoke.
:■ Despite the skill not coming up particularly often, E'kari is adept at Thavnarian belly-dancing. This and many similar styles of celebratory dance were used among she and her kin in their tribal lands; though this is actually not their people's only connection to the middle east. The dress style, use of Alchemy and herbal medicines, even their taste in food has been greatly influenced by trade with Thavnair, much like many others who reside in Thanalan.
:■ E'kari will often experience an inconsolable sense of dread when E'yami is in emotional distress or danger, even if they are far apart. This link between twins seems to go both ways.
:■ Due to E'kari's heavy aspection to Earth she is notoriously difficult to knock off her feet and has immense stamina; adversely, she is not as quick as she'd like to be and swimming in deep water takes a significant amount of energy.
:■ Though most are unaware--or attribute some of her mannerisms to merely being quirky--E'kari actually suffers from high functioning autism. Social queues tend to be her biggest hurdle, along with focusing on the big picture of tasks as opposed to minut details, and sorting out painful emotions.

<div>
=== '''♦ General''' ===
<hr>
 
: (This page has recently undergone a major rework! Check it out if you want to know what has changed!)
: This overly polite and apologetic medicine-woman can often be found scuttling about making deliveries for her shop. Due to her diligent work, E'kari's Alchemist Alley has become one of the Alchemist Guild's favored subsidiaries and is frequently called upon to do business as a representative of their organization. <div>
 



=== '''♦ Appearance''' ===
<hr>
 

: E'kari is a Seeker/Keeper half-breed who carries some physical traits from her mother and father. Her eyes are narrow slit-pupils, skin pale but capable of bronzing in the sun like a Seeker; though her fur is fluffy and tail is long like a Keeper.

: This miqo'te has a snow-print mane--white with undertones if black and grey--with pale blue eyes and bangle-stripes that frame her face.

: In true mage form--E'kari can usually be found in little to no armor, even when going into battle. It slows her down in preforming martial arts and also disrupts her casting to wear anything too heavy. Instead she prefers comfortable robes or her labcoat. <div>
 



=== '''♦ History ''' ===
<hr>
 
: The parentage of E'yami and E'kari is a taboo matter. One that the Nunh of the Eft ordered upon the strictest of penalty, never to be spoken of. While their mother--E'yari--was a Seeker and one of the designated breeding females to the Nunh; their father--Sagu'a--was actually a roving Keeper who had long since left behind a subservient life with his maternal-family in the Shroud to be a traveling poet, minstrel and anthropologist. The two Miqo'te met when Sagu'a and his scholarly lalafell companion, Anabel Nack, sought a place to rest during their travels. The tribe apprehensively took the researchers in as temporary guests. In that time Sagu'a and E'yari began a secret relationship.

:When it came to light that the two had been together Sagu'a was put to death, and his body unceremoniously left to rot in the heat of the desert just outside of their territory.

: In a double blow, not only was E'yari stricken with grief, but she also discovered she was pregnant. Due to a combination of her melancholy of her lost love, the despair at what her life would be at the whims of her Nunh and complications during the birthing process--E'yari died shortly after her second kit was delivered. The last words she managed to speak before slipping away were the names of her children. Both Doman, in honor of their father who fancied the culture. Yami, meaning dark, and Hikari meaning light--though the midwives were unfamiliar with the tongue, mistaking it simply for /E/kari.

: Upon the twins' birth into the Eft--as per tradition--the clan made a ceremonial offering of their namesake to Azeyma that would determine their role in the tribe. When the flesh was melted from the bones,their appointed wise-woman had determined E'kari was to be the next shaman while E'yami's bones were an augury that she was preordained to be a great warrior.

: The Nunh was pleased by the news and demanded celebration, but found that the females of the tribe were not nearly as thrilled. Many believed that the pale-faced kits with hair of black and white were cursed; killing their mother with ill-omen. Nack took this opportunity to offer her services in raising her friends' children and providing them with education.

:The lalafell's silver tongue managed to coerce the Nunh to allow this arrangement--given he had few other options. The three were put up in a yurt close to the Nunh's own home to keep an eye on the foreigner.

: In the years that proceeded their youth, the twins were given a proper education by the professor--in between being stolen away to be taught their duties to the Eft. While Yami practiced fighting the other tribal youths, Kari was introduced to herbal medicine, burial rites and how to divinate the future with the practice of bone reading.

: Despite the twins' diligent efforts to hone their skills and fulfill thier tribal roles, they sorely lacked any sort of companionship from the other children of the Eft--having learned from their mother's to be wary of the pale-faced Seekers. Because of this, Nack took it upon herself to try and teach the girls the basic art of carbuncle summoning and passed her own Topaz and Emerald gems down to each of them.

: Demure and plagued with anxiety, E'kari was given Nicholas--Nack's Emerald carbuncle--as a therapy animal; while E'yami received Whackara--a Topaz companion who had enough spunk and energy to keep up with her. Both arcanist-pets has served the Professor faithfully since her own youth and passed without incident into the hands of their new masters.

: As the twins neared their teenage years, an odd habit of E'kari's came to light. She could often be found speaking to the streams, winds and rock-faces in the territory which the tribe found very suspicious. Some of the more superstitious members of the tribe were convinced the was speaking to the dead; the Nunh believed this was some gift from the Warden, proving his right to rule was divine.

: Knowing better than to believe any of that, Nack speculated that this was a hereditary trait, passed down from Sagu'a, who was a Hearer. Once more the professor went to the Nunh and convinced him that he should allow her to take the twins to train abroad in Gridania that they might return more powerful and capable of serving him. He agreed to the idea and within a fortnight Nack brought the girls to the Shroud.

: Once in Gridania, E'kari joined the Conjurer's Guild as a student while E'yami sought training in both lance and bow.

: Though eager to make new friends the Seeker found this was easier said than done. The high populous of Hyur and Elezen looked condescendingly upon the tribal girls. It was not out of the ordinary for the more crude classmates to inquire if her parents were cousins. This trouble fitting in was compounded by the fact she didn't seem to learn at the same rate as everyone else. E'kari would often focus on small details of things, so much so that she could not intake an entire lesson. A classroom setting did her little credit, but during her free moments she would visit the Everschade and commune with the Elementals.

: On one such visit, a strong wind blew a small branch down from the great tree; which, E'kari took and mended with magic that it might be used as a crook.

: Due to her natural affinity for the forest and her difficulty with conventional methods of learning she was taken as a personal apprentice to Master E-Sumi-Yan, a patient Padjal who specialized in the guidance of Hearers. Discovering the trick seemed to be hands-on learning, he took every opportunity to have the Seeker accompany him while he worked. E'kari improved quickly under his tutelage, able to stand as a conjurer in her own right.

: Near the end of the girl's time abroad, the Seventh Umbral Calamity struck. With her guild called to act as medics on the field, the twins soon found themselves on the heels of disaster for the duration of the event. E'kari and her classmates followed the guildmasters into the chaos, assisting those who had been wounded or fallen. E'yami acted as E'kari's personal guard as she preformed field surgeries and magical healing. The two witnessed death up close on more than one occasion, finding themselves changed by the end of it all.

: After all was said and done, the girls' respective masters deemed them both students no longer. And while this was a sweet taste, it was also made bitter by the memories of carnage that now haunted them both.

: The twins returned to their desert territory as heroines who represented their tribe with valor and courage. The Nunh held festivities long into the night.It seemed as though they'd finally been accepted, but neither seemed particularly content with staying within the territory any more--not after all they had been through. Together E'yami and E'kari traveled to the Shrine of the Warden, offering an Eft in a pyre for guidance. When the flesh had melted from the bones, Azeyma's will bid they must go--for they had more to do out in the world. E'kari shared this edict with their people and with heavy hearts, they left again to find and fulfill their duties elsewhere until the time the Warden calls for them to return.

=== '''♦ Behavior ''' ===

 

: E'kari has a hard time learning in a conventional sense often requires an exceedingly patient teacher in order to have any real success. However once she does learn something--or is preforming a task she excels in--she is hard-pressed to be outshined.

: While still generally being good natured and apologetic, in combat E'kari is capable of being a formidable opponent. Being a conjurer she will often take the role of a healer, but her connection to the Elementals has also allowed to take a unique approach to martial arts. The Seeker will often harden a stone skin over her hands and feet while delivering blows, or using gales of wind to enhance her movement speed. She has named her self-made fighting style, "The Golem Step" which emphasizes momentum and fluidity. (Much of her techniques in form are inspired by real world Zui Quan)

: Despite her obvious shortcomings, E'kari is a very hopeful person and goes into every situation with optimism for success, even if she has failed at the task a hundred times before. Sometimes it's the hundred and first try that brings success.

: ● '''[[E'yami Amane]]''' - E'kari's protective fraternal twin sister, older by 7 minutes. E'yami has always been a strong source of strength, comfort and adventure as the two have grown. Though she has a very tomboyish and wears tough outer shell, E'kari knows that her sister is actually very caring and sensitive--always putting the needs of others before herself; and that is what makes her E'kari's hero.

: 💑 '''[[Vektis Sol]]''' - E'kari's boisterous, free-spirited and loveable husband. When they first met she admired his self confidence--often shyly observing him kicking down doors to shout his own name at people. There are few in the world who can raise E'kari's spirits like Vektis can. The two became close friends and then a couple shortly there after. Though many people see his behavior as a nuisance, E'kari celebrates her husband's off-beat mannerisms--unless of course they prove to be dangerous. She loves him to the end of the world and back. The two are married and have two young children together. "Yes, you have been informed correctly. Vektis is, indeed, the bestest." - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[E'kira Sol]]''' - The young daughter of Vektis and E'kari, making her a mixed breed Keeper/Seeker. Regardless of whatever situation she's in, E'kira tends to maintain a positive attitude. While Kira can be uncomfortably blunt as well as a bit bossy, she also has a fair mind and good natured heart. She cares immensely about her friends and is always striving to make more. This kitten has two dreams: to be a Dragoon and a Gryphon tamer.

: ● '''[[Maxwell Sol]]''' - Born to the Eft tribe--to the name E'rhaja Tia--and orphaned after his sire was defeated and overthrown by another male. E'kari picked up the kitten; she felt a kinship with him for their similar origins. Upon his arrival at Heartwood to the Sol family he was renamed by Vektis and E'kari so he might grow up feeling like he belonged. E’kari does not plan to inform him of his true parentage until he reaches adulthood. Now seven summers old, Max is shy, polite and thoughtful. Especially fond of tinkering with small shiny objects and collecting beads, rocks and shells. He has an exceptionally bright mind for a boy his age, though is often roped into his younger sister’s schemes.

: ● '''[[Nicholas Nack - Carbuncle]]''' - The ever-present summoned companion of E'kari. This carbuncle has been with E'kari throughout the Seeker's entire life as a sort of therapy animal, helping to keep her anxiety in check. With a gem layered with complex geometries: Anabel Nack made it so he and his sister creation--Whackara--could form memories; and with that, personalities. Nick is generally gentle and quiet, with a keen ability to sense people's emotional needs. As such, he tends to gravitate to people whom he suspects need comfort. Nick is aware of his own artificial intellegence and often grapples with his place in the world, as well as the loneliness that comes from his own existence. "Ploo!"

: ● '''[[Anabel Nack]]''' - Author, scientist, surgeon and parent. This quirky and frightening alchemist is the adopted mother of E'yami and E'kari. Nanabel Nabel by birth, she almost always goes by her pen-name "A.B. 'Nack'". Though her child rearing methods were always questionable at best, the most indisputable fact of it all is that Nack loves both of her girls very much. She is not above employing dark methods to ensure this mad-scientist keeps her loved ones safe. This lalafell's haunting laughter was picked up by E'kari as she was growing up. "Kuhuhuh....."

: ● '''[[Conrad Steelsong]]''' - This initially frighteningly large Ala Mhigan is actually the godparent of E'kari and Vektis' young daughter, E'kira. The four of them, as well as No'Ulla Khilik, all take up residence in the same house in the Mist. Conrad has obviously weathered the storm of many conflicts that have hardened his exterior. Despite his gruff demeanor, E'kari finds him to be a wonderful person and the closest thing to a father she's ever known.

: ● '''[[No'Ulla Khilik]]''' - The Ala Mhigan-weaver wife of Conrad Steelsong. She has recently returned from apprenticing in Ishgard to live with the Solsong household. E'kari finds her to be a skilled craftswoman and never tires of hearing about Ulla's special technique of Spell-Weaving. Ulla is a welcome addition to the family--E'kari just hopes that Vektis doesn't scare their new friend off with nonsensical antics.

: ● '''[[Nyscera Alarone]]''' - This mistress of shadowy death is a close friend of the twins' adopted mother. She is considered an aunt to E'kari and E'yami. Early on in E'kari stay at Heartwood, the dragon-riding assassin took E'kari, Bennett and Snowy in as pupils for physical and mental training. While it was grueling and at times crushing, E'kari owes her martial arts ability solely to these lessons. Nyscera taught E'kari the value of teamwork and also her how to be unphased by negative elements in her life.

: ● '''[[Rath Alarone]]''' - Nyscera's aloof husband--and by proxy--the twins' uncle. This applesauce-loving dark knight is the one that hired E'kari to work as the company alchemist--in no small part to do with the potent pain killers she was able to make for him after a fight that nearly ended in his death. He always seems have a joke lined up, even in the most bleak of situations.

: ● '''[[Bennett Cooper]]''' - E'kari's teammate and--since his adoption by Rath and Nyscera Alarone--cousin of sorts. E'kari sees Bennett as the shining future of their free company. While he makes mistakes and has a ways to go before he can truly master any of his arsenal of weapons, E'kari firmly believes this young boy is going to do great things. Could young Master Bennett be a something more than the average fighter...? "Cooper is Super..!" - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[E'vehlke Sohj]]''' - The maternal cousin of E'kari and E'yami. Vehlke is a fearless warrior with a strange accent. As she is a full blood Seeker of the Eft tribe, E'vehlke shares a striking resemblance to the twins' deceased mother.

: ● '''[[Sokhatai Borlaaq]]''' - This huntress is the wife of E'vehlke Sohj. She has a very specific way of talking. E'kari onced picked her brain about adventure and Au'Ra culture. She finds her delightful!

: ● '''[[Reina Sol]]''' - E'kari's half Keeper half Raen sister-in-law. She is the first person from Heartwood that the twins ever met, quickly taking the girls under her wing and giving them a place to stay. It was because of Reina that E'kari met Vektis. E'kari admires Reina as a strong and together person.

: ● '''[[Snowy Sol]]''' - E'kari's full miqo'te sister-in-law. Even before the two were related by marriage, E'kari has had a definite soft spot for this girl-genius in her heart. The two worked together in the clinic for some time, rather closely. In one occasion the two preformed life saving surgery on Vektis. E'kari's only qualm is that she fears this teen might be too relaxed about the dangerous world around her at times--but maybe that's just the anxiety talking.

: ● '''[[Xihvi'ir Valathri]]''' - Xihvi'ir, or 'Ashy' as the others have taken to calling him, is a kindly harp-player that has come into the service of Heartwood. Though E'kari doesn't know of his personal dealings in any intricate regard--other than his past as a gambler--she knows she can trust his character, as he is well loved by Nick. The Keeper has always loaned a helping hand to the company whenever a need arose, for that E'kari finds herself very grateful to her new friend. Though she doesn't know it yet, the two share an unexpected bond in blood.

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#4d0000; font-size:14px; color:#FFFFFF">Friends </div><div style="border:0px solid; padding:8px"> ===

: ● '''[[Sakeru Wakeru]]''' – This unsuspecting looking delivery boy has a dark past under the surface. A time ago, Sakeru divulged a portion of his history to E'kari and a few others. Oddly enough, she ended up trusting him more after learning he was a trained assassin. She was quite sad to see him leave for a time, but was much overjoyed at his return. Wherever this lalafell goes two things are a certain: death and dinner. "Did I leave the oven on..?" - Sakeru Wakeru

: ● '''[[Tustin Lafell]]''' - The first moment E'kari saw this lalafell he was being arrested on the free company lawn for the attempted armed robbery. Later when he returned to make his peace with Heartwood the two met and over time became close companions. Tustin's street-savvy, wild and hot-headed demeanor contrasts E'kari's bookish, nervous, awkwardness in a very positive way. This Dunesfolk left Heartwood some time ago to make something of himself out in the world. Since then he has begun studying medicine. He remains, to this day, one of E'kari's most treasured and beloved friends. "I'm not cute! I'm manly as hell!" - Tustin Lafell

: ● '''[[Tynos Riller]]''' - This towering black mage initially greatly frightened E'kari upon their first meeting. Perhaps it was his scar, his serious expression or his sheer size--regardless, she now knows him as a very kind-hearted and family oriented leader. He sacrifices much of himself to keep Heartwood's members safe--and frankly--works too hard. It would be a shock to find him away from the clinic for longer than a month. It's safe to say, E'kari's pharmacy has a special 'Tynos Budget' for the small fortune it takes to keep this misfortune prone Elezen on his feet. "My goodness..! Hurt again, Master Tynos...?" - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[Cioccolato Stella]]''' - Cioccolato, or Lady Cio as E'kari calls her, works as a nurse and aspiring doctor for Heartwood. This charming and kind healer can often be seen sporting pastel colors and traveling around in the company of her Demon Brick, Cenere, which is a close friend of Max. E'kari has always been very fond of this miqo'te since her arrival and is one of the few she trusts to care for Kira and Max in her absence.

: ● '''[[Kaiya Ailbhe]]''' - The librarian, chief of medicine and over-all brains of Heartwood. E'kari admires the patience of this woman but also feels horribly guilty that the actions of her free company have driven Kaiya to take up smoking. Occasionally E'kari will bring Kaiya cinnamon sticks en masse as an attempt to give her something roughly cigarette shaped to hold and suck on. It is unknown if Doctor Ailhbe actually enjoys these or if she is merely humoring E'kari. Hopefully at the very least she is not being driven to smoke those as well...

: ● '''[[Zana Amaro]]''' - An aloof gunslinger and self proclaimed alley-cat. Despite being told not to, E'kari still insists on respectfully referring to this miqo'te as Lady Zana. When this woman is armed and in a foul mood . . . heaven help her target. E'kari has seen Zana rip a man's arm clean off. However Zana does also have a soft side. When E'kari was gravely injured in an attempt on her life, Zana stationed herself in the clinic to watch over her.

: ● '''[[Narumi Kotokaze]]''' - More commonly referred to as "Kota". E'kari met this Maelstrom affiliated bounty hunter on the road when she was set upon by highwaymen--which Kota easily dispatched. Since then the Raen has been promoted to first lieutenant of the Storm-guard and assigned to work as the handler of the former pirate Skyfwyb. The officer comissions her medicine from E'kari's "Alchemist's Alley".

:● '''[[Skyfwyb Aergankawyn]]''' - E'kari was not fond of this woman in the start. The monsterous Seawolf had committed crimes against Heartwood on numerous occasions. E'kari was glad to hear of her sting and arrest by the Maelstrom. In the time that has followed, however, the curt and belligerent captain seems to have changed her ways to some extent. E'kari now views her slightly more favorably after having witnessed Skyfwyb's capacity to care genuinely for another person. It was also by the aid of this former pirate that the Solsong household was able to cross the sea to the east. As it stands now they are friends.

: ● '''[[Moralee Relen]]''' - Known to E'kari as "Mordry". This Au'Ra woman is rather complex for many reasons. Regardless E'kari cares greatly about Moralee and Mora in equal measure--although Mordry's "Moralee-half" is more familiar to her. Some time ago Mordry required E'kari's help with a somewhat risky task. This evoked the ire of her usually perpetually cheerful husband. Vektis has yet to forgive Mordry to this day, which fills the Seeker with guilt and remorse. However, because of that mission, E'kari learned how to brew a special and ancient potion she dubbed, "The Draught of the Dreamwalker".

: ● '''[[Neville Synch]]''' - This good natured marksman is the mate of Zana Amaro and the best friend of E'yami Amane. Over the period she has known him, this man has done a lot for E'kari's family which she could never repay. Though she does not know him too well personally she trusts him fully regardless. She always gets a chuckle out of the banter between Neville and Vektis.

: ● '''[[Vahn Quietfury]]''' - A sweet little boy with a curious connection to an elder dragon. E'kari first met the half lalafell on a caravan mission that was attacked. In the absence of his own mother, the Seeker would often look after Vahn when his father was away. One day when Vahn was playing with some of the other boys in the company yard he exhibited dangerous abilities. He and his father were sent away for the potential danger they posed. E'kari still loves Vahn like a son.

: ● '''[[Brandon Stormstrider]]''' - The Hyur father of Vahn Quietfury. E'kari met Brandon a short time after Vahn. The two became close friends, as the miqo'te was one of the few Heartwood members Brandon trusted. She would often do simple favors for the father and son to make their lives easier such as cleaning or bringing home pineapples. Upon their leaving to a new safehaven the Seeker found herself deeply saddend, however Brandon still sneaks over to the company on occasion. Brandon has placed E'kari under the protection of his men known only as "The Rogues".

: ● '''[[Enkhjargal Dalamiq]]''' - This stoic summoner is actually E'kari's master. He took her under his wing when she first arrived to Heartwood and had to terrorize her into being able to use her magic for anything beyond healing. His methods worked and looking back, E'kari owes him all of the strength she possesses now. Beyond that, she thinks he is a wonderful person who has natural ability with children. Who knew!

: ● '''[[Camille Everardi]]''' - Camille is Enkhjargal Dalamiq's wife and a talented mage, among many other things. E'kari has seen Camille fight in more than one way in the past with spars. She found this woman to be a strong female rolemodel for her in the past when she was just learning to fight--and still looks up to her to this day. E'kari couldn't be happier that her master and friend found happiness in each other's company.

: ● '''[[Chokho Viqqoh]]''' - A fierce, fiery and loyal amnesiac-Keeper who recently joined Heartwood. Since her arrival, Chokho and E'kari have become fast friends; bonding over their shared love of martial arts and string instruments. Though the two differ greatly in temperament and personality they have a shared respect for one another.

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#4d0000;font-size:14px;color:#FFFFFF;">Acquaintances</div><div style="border:0px solid; padding:8px">===

: ● '''[[Dead Willow]]''' - This Gyr Abanian born Hellsguard was Vektis’ teacher while he studied Red Magic. While possessing the—not uncommon—steely gaze of a pit fighter, Willow has also expressed true care and kindness toward her apprentice and his family. E’kari has come to respect Willow a great deal, so much so that she’s offered the Roegadyn a teaching position at her school upon its completion. 

:● '''[[Nevrynn Alarone]]''' - While E'kari initially mistrusted the Seeker for his roguish persona and wanderlust, in resent months she has come to warm up to her sister's mate. Though she may not know him as well as she might like, he makes her sister happy. And the affection between the two are plain to see.

: ● '''[[Jake Jakkya]]''' - A red-lenses wearing void-mage who has spent a great deal of his life as a pit fighter. This spellsword is particularly close to E'kari's adopted mother, Nack, which makes him a brother of sorts. E'kari sorely wishes he would be less devil-may-care in demeanor at times, or at least care a bit more about his own life. She's always pleased when he pops up unharmed now and again. This former criminal has been blacklisted from Heartwood for his criminal debts to the Syndicate--though he has since paid them back in full, becoming an ally to the group.

: ● '''[[Ash Valken]]''' - The tall, brooding brother of Nyscera who has a strong dislike for Rath. E'kari met this former bandit spying on her a few times. Eventually the two had a sit-down conversation and became close--which was a new thing for the Au'Ra. E'kari taught Ash how to play a grasswhistle, fixed his broken hearing-aid and engaged in a playful spar. Somehow, in one way or another, most of their interactions end in awkward sexual-tension. The day Ash left Heartwood, E'kari gave him a necklace made from a strap of her doctor's bag to remember her by and encouraged him to follow his dreams.

: ● '''[[Akiyuki Okuma]]''' - The large, quiet, but overall pleasant husband of Cio who has joined Heartwood since his marriage to the plucky, pastel nursemaid. This reserved Au'Ra is a welcome addition to the family.

: ● '''[[Kenoni Eien’no]]''' - The betrothed of her friend Moralee. A stern and stoic acquaintance but never the less, E'kari admires his loyalty and commitment to Mordry. She hopes the two will have a wonderful life together with their child.

: ● '''[[J'edite Shedai]]''' - A fellow enthusiast of martial arts that spends most of her time roaming Thanalan seeking glory for the Jackal tribe. The two have had run-ins here and there as J'edite was on hunts and once sparred under the Sultan tree. The Seekers employ very different styles of their own making: while E'kari fights with her heavy handed "Golem Step" ideal for doing battle with armed and armored foes; J'edite uses fast kicks transitioning into fluid jabs in her "Fire Dancer" style that proves to be the bane of slower opponents. As it stands the two are friendly rivals.

: ● '''[[Alpon Adpon]]''' - The Pink Punisher! E'kari has met this "battle-chef" in passing more than once. The lalafell's skill in combat seems to rival his culinary prowess.

: ● '''[[Namaka Ebisu]]''' - A strange and sweet water-sprite who lives in a fountain. You want tree slugs? Because this is how you get tree slugs.

: ● '''[[Alistar Stormfist]]''' - Found by Heartwood on the road to Little Ala Mhigo, this former Garlean slave was near death and wearing a magitek collar. With no where else to go and no life to return to, this gentle giant returned with the caravan to the Heartwood Homestead.

: ● '''[[Lucinda Kovix]]''' - This kindly and capable, Ishgardian drifter met Doctor Sol as she was returning from conversing with the Everschade and her husband's chocobo ran off. Lucinda and E'kari worked together to catch the bird and got to talking about Lucy's need for work and also to find her missing brother. The Miqo'te has since come to stay at Heartwood which has overjoyed E'kari.

: ● '''[[L'nela Varya]]''' - A one-eyed woman who really enjoys taking a bite out of life! In all seriousness--L'nela is a chipper and quirky person. A little emotional at times, but rightfully so; as her recent years have been filled with trauma. Both physical and emotional. Careful, she likes to nibble!
 

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#4d0000;font-size:14px;color:#FFFFFF;">Disliked</div><div style="border:0px solid; padding:8px">===

:● '''[[Tharl Oom Khash - NPC]]''' - A being made of corruption who takes his name from his place of creation. While to most guardians of the Shroud he would be a natural enemy anyway--this thing has taken a special and terrible shine to tormenting E'kari and all of Heartwood. His track record of terrible deeds is staggering and body count ever on the rise. His most memorable in E'kari's mind were her children, Sagu'a and Cize. The vengeful mother aided in his demise by pummeling him with special stones--from Tynos and Kaiya--she formed into barbaric gauntlets.


:● '''[[The Pumpking - NPC]]''' - This strange and otherwordly being was initially just an unsettling presence that occasionally appeared in the Heartwood halls offering bargains for steep moral prices. It was not until this squash-headed man manipulated Tustin Lafell into a contract that he became E'kari's enemy. The Seeker used excessive force against the entitiy, beating him into a puddle of black ooze. He has since returned to haunt Heartwood, though has stifled a sum of E'kari's animosity toward him by fixing her carbuncle's shattered gem and helping finish off Khash for good.

== <div style="padding:10px 15px; background:#4d0000; font-size:20px; color:#ffffff">'''Character Trivia'''</div>==

:■ E'kari refers to people as 'master' or 'lady' because as a young newcomer to Gridania she was hazed by the local youths; who told her that it was how non-tribal people spoke to one another. Excited to make 'friends' the Seeker picked this up almost immediately. It was not until this was an ingrained habit that she learned it was all a ruse for E'kari to make a fool of herself every time she spoke.
:■ Despite the skill not coming up particularly often, E'kari is adept at Thavnarian belly-dancing. This and many similar styles of celebratory dance were used among she and her kin in their tribal lands; though this is actually not their people's only connection to the middle east. The dress style, use of Alchemy and herbal medicines, even their taste in food has been greatly influenced by trade with Thavnair, much like many others who reside in Thanalan.
:■ E'kari will often experience an inconsolable sense of dread when E'yami is in emotional distress or danger, even if they are far apart. This link between twins seems to go both ways.
:■ Due to E'kari's heavy aspection to Earth she is notoriously difficult to knock off her feet and has immense stamina; adversely, she is not as quick as she'd like to be and swimming in deep water takes a significant amount of energy.
:■ Though most are unaware--or attribute some of her mannerisms to merely being quirky--E'kari actually suffers from high functioning autism. Social queues tend to be her biggest hurdle, along with focusing on the big picture of tasks as opposed to minut details, and sorting out painful emotions.

<div>
=== '''♦ General''' ===
<hr>
 
Born Benagori Gamagori, Bennett left home with his little brother in Thavnair to become an adventurer in Eorzea. In an effort to prevent his loved ones from tracking him down out of worry, he took on the name of Bennett Cooper while he's in Eorzea. Whenever he's not working in the clinic for Heartwood Ventures, Bennett's out looking for treasures or ruins to mess around in. Bennett has lived the exciting life of an adventurer that he was looking for, having seen more of the world that even some adults have, despite still only being a child. He's found great discoveries and great loss, and still believes there's much more of the world to see.
<div>
 
 




==='''♦ Appearance''' ===
<hr>
 
Bennett stands at a puny 2 fulms and 7 ilms, weighing only about 48 ponz. He has rather long black hair, and is usually smiling. 
Bennett wears a short-sleeved black leather coat with a long-sleeved dalamud red undershirt underneath. The coat has a fluorescent flower ribbon around each shoulder, and the word "Destroyer" is embroidered on the back of the coat in Hingan. Around his neck is a carved drake scale, a trophy from a monster he and his friends slew. 
No matter what, Bennett is ''always'' wearing his red headband. He believes it brings him good luck.
<div>
 
 



=== '''♦ Behaviour''' ===
<hr>
 
Bennett is extremely immature and is prone to pull pranks. 
Due to his age and trusting nature, Bennett is rather naïve. 
Bennett can be heedless of danger, and will try to save people that he thinks are in trouble. This has been both good and bad, as he has unwittingly caused disasters doing this. 
Most of the pranks that Bennett pulls will blow up in his face. Figuratively and literally. 
<div>
 
 

==[[File:serpentleft.png|left|]] <div style="padding:10px 15px; background:#2C3539; font-size:20px; color:#ffffff">'''Combat'''</div> ==
Bennett has been adventuring for three years, and has tried out many different styles of fighting. He was always best at swordplay, but found himself casting spells very, very often. He has finally set a preference for himself to simply use both swordplay and magic, and so he fights using a saber and a crystal medium.

Sensing growth in his younger brother, Bennett has given his healing stick to them so that they can improve further in Conjury as he did. Bennett now uses a crystal medium to cast his spells.

*Saber: Bennett had a customized saber made for him. It's outer edge is palladium, but has a mythril core.

*Crystal Medium: The Oracle had been trying to create a crystal to contain massive amounts of aether so that she could summon a primal. Bennett wondered if he could get a crystal of his own that could hold vast seas of aether so that he could cast spells from it. After about a week of research and material-gathering, Bennett had his very own version of the Oracle's crystal. It really comes in handy for spellcasting.

*Diplomacy: Through all of his adventures and misadventures, Bennett managed to worry [[Nakhu Dazkar]]. To help keep him safe, she made a very small hand tazer for the boy. Bennett keeps Diplomacy hidden inside his right glove, and may use it if he feels overly threatened in a given situation. Almost poetically, Bennett will try talking his way out of a given situation, but if a change of tactic is required, he'll just fall back on Diplomacy.

*Cat and Lizard: [[Zana Amaro|Two]] [[Nakhu Dazkar|friends]] of Bennett have made guns for him to help him stay safe on adventures. Bennett named each gun after the friend that made them, and keeps each gun in hidden pockets near his ankles. The rounds are almost always rubber.

Aside from that, Bennett carries around several bags, which hold fireworks, teleport crystals, and random potpourri from his adventures.

== [[File:serpentright.png|left|]]<div style="padding:10px 15px; background:#2C3539; font-size:20px; color:#ffffff">'''Magic Powers'''</div> ==

Bennett's family have always been naturally gifted with the use of aether. Before coming to Eorzea, Bennett had never bothered with it. Now, he uses it almost every day to help him get by.

War has broken out in Ala Mhigo, and most of Heartwood has left to fight. [[Rath Alarone|Rath]] forbade Bennett to go and fight in Ala Mhigo, so the boy decided to follow his parents to the distant shores of Othard. In the diverse city of Kugane, Bennett's already gotten himself into multiple levels of trouble with the local gangs, made a [[Kalahira Nira|new friend]], and found old enemies, the Eldritch Collective. Adventures await in all directions, and Bennett's ready to take them all on.

The times are changing quickly for Heartwood, as most of the company prepares for the coming war against Garlemald. [[Mordry Relen | Mordry's]] past caught up to her, and the rest of the company helped to battle against the Oracle and her insane fanatics, putting an end to her odd crusade. In the downtime after defeating this threat, Bennett has gone on a string of adventures, such as meeting the street gangsters[[Rana Kotsu]], [[Kentaro Fujiabashi]], [[Hat Sneko]], and [[Tyrone Johnson]] of the Pearl Lane Families, going out and discovering the fabled Black Bazaar, plundering ancient ruins of Amdapoor, and practicing his new spells. After winning a Magitek Reaper from a raffle by [[Thiji Higuri | A weird and rich Dunesfolk]], Benett made the mistake of letting his friend [[L'nela Varya]] use it. She proceeded to blow a hole in the lawn, nearly hitting the Alarone house. [[Rath Alarone | Rath]] proceeded to cut the reaper into fourths, and now Bennett is grounded. Now he focuses on trying to make it up to his adoptive parents for his mistake in judgement.
 
Three months before the fall of Oracle, Heartwood had a series of odd events transpire. Starting with a new recruit, [[L'nela Varya]] losing her mind and thinking that she's a coeurl for about a month, meeting a mute Xaela with an axe named [[Kachiaru Seimei]], and then with [[Vektis Sol|Vektis]] nearly driving [[Mordry Relen | Mordry]] to suicide. Bennett's been doing his best to keep himself and his friends sane throughout these turbulent times. All the same, he's built many new mammets, and is now practicing on learning fencing.

:● '''[[Dandri Cooper]]''' – Bennett's younger brother. Originally, the two were going to explore Eorzea together, but Dandri was taken home to Thavnair before joining the Conjurer's guild fully. Now that he's a part of the Alarone family, he has returned to his lessons in the Conjurer's guild, and he opts to stay there in Gridannia. Bennett goes to visit him at least once a week. 
:● '''[[Sakeru Wakeru]]''' – Bennett's best friend. Despite his odd past, Sakeru has calmed down a lot. He makes many morbid jokes to cope for what he'd done in the past. Bennett thinks that Sakeru's jokes are both funny and scary at the same time. 
:● '''[[Kaiya Ailbhe]]''' – The head doctor at Heartwood. She has taught Bennett most of what he knows about healing people, as well as all he knows about fixing wounds without use of aether. Bennett regards her as one of the smartest people in Heartwood. 
:● '''[[Vektis Sol]]''' – The Bestest. Bennett sees Vektis like an older brother, and believes that what he sees in Vektis is what Dandri sees in him as an older brother. Regardless, Vektis is one of the coolest guys Bennett has met in Eorzea, and is undoubtedly the bestest. 
:● '''[[Tynos Riller]]''' – The Single Mage. Bennett's first encounter with Tynos was during a sparring match against him. He was defeated in an instant. Bennett regards Tynos as one of the most powerful members of Heartwood, and is usually called on by him to pull pranks on others.
:● '''[[Nyscera Alarone]]''' – Adoptive Ninja Mom. Bennett sees Nyscera as one of Heartwood's nicest members, as well as an extremely patient teacher. Nyscera was also the first Heartwood member that Bennett ever met.
:● '''[[E'kari Sol]]''' – Martial Arts Alchemist! The two trained under Nyscera to learn how to fight more effectively, and her ability to mix conjury with pugilism is extremely formidable. During a prank gone awry, Bennett found himself in E'kari's body. Needless to say, the two became one of soul.
:● '''[[Arylisse Dayhelm]]''' – Sakeru's adoptive mother. Arylisse used to work at Heartwood as a doctor of sorts, and was one of the first White Mages that he'd met in Eorzea. At the time, he didn't know that White Magic was forbidden. Regardless of rule-breaking, Bennett see's Ary as one of the kindest people he'd ever met, and still tries to visit her often at her new job.
:● '''[[Conrad Godsbane]]''' – The Angriest Ala Mhigan Samurai. Conrad is a huge guy who did a lot of fighting in his time, and Bennett sees him as a hero of the past. Knowing how strong Conrad is, Bennett finds it to be a good idea to practice sneaking around him. After all, if he can hide from the Ala Mhigan meat mountain, he can hide from anyone!

:● '''[[Zana Amaro]]''' – A thief turned mechanic who works at Heartwood. [[Kaiya Ailbhe|Kaiya]] brought her into the company, seems to have taught her a lot as well. Zana's also really fun to be around, and teaches Bennett about the thieves' code. While Bennett has no intention of becoming a true thief, he finds the code honorable, and sticks by it.

:● '''[[Cioccolato Stella]]''' -About a year ago, Bennett ran into Cioccolato on a beach. As he was unable to pronounce her first name, he mostly just called her "Stella". Cio was a good friend to him and a fantastic nurse for the rest of Heartwood. While she may be a little bit pervy, she's a fantastic person to be around, and Bennett finds it hard to imagine life without her.

:● '''[[E'yami Amane]]''' -E'kari's twin sister. She's super protective about anything she cares about, and will definitely throw dark-looking aether blasts at things that mess with her. Bennett sees E'yami as a kind of older sister. Fun to pull pranks on and with, and really dependable in a pinch.

:● '''[[Xihvi'ir Valathri]]''' -The harp guy. While Bennett was spending most of his time training under Nyscera and Rath, Xih joined Heartwood. Xih gets along well with Heartwood's members, and has been nicknamed "Firefly" by E'yami. Bennett really enjoys the music that Firefly plays on his harp.

:● '''[[Mordry Relen]]''' - The crazy one. Mordry is one of the more interesting people Bennett's met, and she drives him crazy to no end. As Mordry is two people in one body, Bennett was highly confused by the inconsistency in her actions. In one moment she could be as carefree as a young girl, but in the next be as cold-hearted as an upset Conrad. The carefree half is known as Moralee, and the coldhearted half is known as Mora. Bennett respects both halves, even though the Moralee half never stops picking him up.

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#2C3539;font-size:14px;color:#FFFFFF;">Friends and Allies</div>===
 
:● '''[[Saruna Verselo]]''' – This guy had intervened to help Kett get her books back, and threatened to cut off Bennett's hand for them. However, he's also helped Bennett escape [[Jebei Dotharl]] once. Bennett doesn't really know what to think about this odd man.
:● '''[[Tyo'li Tayuun]]''' – The Collective guy. Bennett was first hired by [[Enkhjargal Dalamiq]] to protect Tyo from harm, but no harm came to him during that time. Bennett held on to the special linkpearl he was given, and eventually wound up delivering things to the Black Vault. Tyo was one of the only members of the Eldritch collective who have not either tried to eat him or outright kill him whenever he sneaks into the Vault. Ever since he left the Collective, Bennett has never seen him again.
 
:● '''[[Enkhjargal Dalamiq]]''' – The serious guy. Along with [[Nyscera Alarone]], Enkh was one of the first Heartwood members that Bennett had ever met. Enkh used to work for Heartwood, but eventually left to join with [[Camille Everardi]]. While Enkh was still in Heartwood, Bennett didn't get to speak with him much. However, Enkh did offer Bennett a job once to protect [[Tyo'li Tayuun]]. At some point, Bennett intends to revisit Enkh and show him some of the cool stuff he finds on adventures.

:● '''[[Narumi Kotokaze]]''' – The Scalper. She can't really tell how old a lalafell is, but she sure can kick hard. As far as Bennett knows, this Au Ra is [[Skyfwyb Aergankawyn | Captain Aergankawyn]]'s girlfriend. She's called a bounty hunter, so that's pretty cool.

:● '''[[Kalahira Nira]]''' – The Hybrid. She is one of the nicest people Bennett has ever met, and finds it insane how she manages to stay this happy despite all that has happened to her. Bennett finds this apparent happiness and outgoing nature inspirational to those who have faced the worst things in the world.

:● '''[[Susumono Nonomono]]''' – The Jester. Despite that he doesn't actually tell that many jokes, Bennett made fast friends with this lalafellin alchemist through mutual friends and odd adventures. Susumono seems to look out for Bennett whenever he goes about getting into trouble.

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#2C3539; font-size:14px; color:#FFFFFF">Enemies & Rivals</div>===

:● '''[[C'tadhara Kett]]''' - The crazy slasher. Bennett first learned of Kett while investigating slashings that occured in Pearl Lane in Ul'dah. To prevent her from hurting more people, Bennett resolved to steal her summoning books. Kett still wants them back.

:● '''[[Skyfwyb Aergankawyn]]''' - A pirate. Skyf is rude and crude, but Kota seems to like her. As much as Bennett distrusts pirates, this one has to at least be okay.

<div>
=== '''♦ General''' ===
<hr>
 
Born Benagori Gamagori, Bennett left home with his little brother in Thavnair to become an adventurer in Eorzea. In an effort to prevent his loved ones from tracking him down out of worry, he took on the name of Bennett Cooper while he's in Eorzea. Whenever he's not working in the clinic for Heartwood Ventures, Bennett's out looking for treasures or ruins to mess around in. Bennett has lived the exciting life of an adventurer that he was looking for, having seen more of the world that even some adults have, despite still only being a child. He's found great discoveries and great loss, and still believes there's much more of the world to see.
<div>
 
 




==='''♦ Appearance''' ===
<hr>
 
Bennett stands at a puny 2 fulms and 7 ilms, weighing only about 48 ponz. He has rather long black hair, and is usually smiling. 
Bennett wears a short-sleeved black leather coat with a long-sleeved dalamud red undershirt underneath. The coat has a fluorescent flower ribbon around each shoulder, and the word "Destroyer" is embroidered on the back of the coat in Hingan. Around his neck is a carved drake scale, a trophy from a monster he and his friends slew. 
No matter what, Bennett is ''always'' wearing his red headband. He believes it brings him good luck.
<div>
 
 



=== '''♦ Behaviour''' ===
<hr>
 
Bennett is extremely immature and is prone to pull pranks. 
Due to his age and trusting nature, Bennett is rather naïve. 
Bennett can be heedless of danger, and will try to save people that he thinks are in trouble. This has been both good and bad, as he has unwittingly caused disasters doing this. 
Most of the pranks that Bennett pulls will blow up in his face. Figuratively and literally. 
<div>
 
 

==[[File:serpentleft.png|left|]] <div style="padding:10px 15px; background:#2C3539; font-size:20px; color:#ffffff">'''Combat'''</div> ==
Bennett has been adventuring for three years, and has tried out many different styles of fighting. He was always best at swordplay, but found himself casting spells very, very often. He has finally set a preference for himself to simply use both swordplay and magic, and so he fights using a saber and a crystal medium.

Sensing growth in his younger brother, Bennett has given his healing stick to them so that they can improve further in Conjury as he did. Bennett now uses a crystal medium to cast his spells.

*Saber: Bennett had a customized saber made for him. It's outer edge is palladium, but has a mythril core.

*Crystal Medium: The Oracle had been trying to create a crystal to contain massive amounts of aether so that she could summon a primal. Bennett wondered if he could get a crystal of his own that could hold vast seas of aether so that he could cast spells from it. After about a week of research and material-gathering, Bennett had his very own version of the Oracle's crystal. It really comes in handy for spellcasting.

*Diplomacy: Through all of his adventures and misadventures, Bennett managed to worry [[Nakhu Dazkar]]. To help keep him safe, she made a very small hand tazer for the boy. Bennett keeps Diplomacy hidden inside his right glove, and may use it if he feels overly threatened in a given situation. Almost poetically, Bennett will try talking his way out of a given situation, but if a change of tactic is required, he'll just fall back on Diplomacy.

*Cat and Lizard: [[Zana Amaro|Two]] [[Nakhu Dazkar|friends]] of Bennett have made guns for him to help him stay safe on adventures. Bennett named each gun after the friend that made them, and keeps each gun in hidden pockets near his ankles. The rounds are almost always rubber.

Aside from that, Bennett carries around several bags, which hold fireworks, teleport crystals, and random potpourri from his adventures.

== [[File:serpentright.png|left|]]<div style="padding:10px 15px; background:#2C3539; font-size:20px; color:#ffffff">'''Magic Powers'''</div> ==

Bennett's family have always been naturally gifted with the use of aether. Before coming to Eorzea, Bennett had never bothered with it. Now, he uses it almost every day to help him get by.
*Bennett is able to cast first and second-level spells by using a magic crystal as a spell focus.. 
*Bennett has learned how to conjure weapons from aether and use them in battle.

War has broken out in Ala Mhigo, and most of Heartwood has left to fight. [[Rath Alarone|Rath]] forbade Bennett to go and fight in Ala Mhigo, so the boy decided to follow his parents to the distant shores of Othard. In the diverse city of Kugane, Bennett's already gotten himself into multiple levels of trouble with the local gangs, made a [[Kalahira Nira|new friend]], and found old enemies, the Eldritch Collective. Adventures await in all directions, and Bennett's ready to take them all on.

The times are changing quickly for Heartwood, as most of the company prepares for the coming war against Garlemald. [[Mordry Relen | Mordry's]] past caught up to her, and the rest of the company helped to battle against the Oracle and her insane fanatics, putting an end to her odd crusade. In the downtime after defeating this threat, Bennett has gone on a string of adventures, such as meeting the street gangsters[[Rana Kotsu]], [[Kentaro Fujiabashi]], [[Hat Sneko]], and [[Tyrone Johnson]] of the Pearl Lane Families, going out and discovering the fabled Black Bazaar, plundering ancient ruins of Amdapoor, and practicing his new spells. After winning a Magitek Reaper from a raffle by [[Thiji Higuri | A weird and rich Dunesfolk]], Benett made the mistake of letting his friend [[L'nela Varya]] use it. She proceeded to blow a hole in the lawn, nearly hitting the Alarone house. [[Rath Alarone | Rath]] proceeded to cut the reaper into fourths, and now Bennett is grounded. Now he focuses on trying to make it up to his adoptive parents for his mistake in judgement.
 
Three months before the fall of Oracle, Heartwood had a series of odd events transpire. Starting with a new recruit, [[L'nela Varya]] losing her mind and thinking that she's a coeurl for about a month, meeting a mute Xaela with an axe named [[Kachiaru Seimei]], and then with [[Vektis Sol|Vektis]] nearly driving [[Mordry Relen | Mordry]] to suicide. Bennett's been doing his best to keep himself and his friends sane throughout these turbulent times. All the same, he's built many new mammets, and is now practicing on learning fencing.

:● '''[[Vektis Sol]]''' – The Bestest. Bennett sees Vektis like an older brother, and believes that what he sees in Vektis is what Dandri sees in him as an older brother. Regardless, Vektis is one of the coolest guys Bennett has met in Eorzea, and is undoubtedly the bestest. 
:● '''[[Tynos Riller]]''' – The Single Mage. Bennett's first encounter with Tynos was during a sparring match against him. He was defeated in an instant. Bennett regards Tynos as one of the most powerful members of Heartwood, and is usually called on by him to pull pranks on others.
:● '''[[Nyscera Alarone]]''' – Adoptive Ninja Mom. Bennett sees Nyscera as one of Heartwood's nicest members, as well as an extremely patient teacher. Nyscera was also the first Heartwood member that Bennett ever met.
:● '''[[E'kari Sol]]''' – Martial Arts Alchemist! The two trained under Nyscera to learn how to fight more effectively, and her ability to mix conjury with pugilism is extremely formidable. During a prank gone awry, Bennett found himself in E'kari's body. Needless to say, the two became one of soul.
:● '''[[Arylisse Dayhelm]]''' – Sakeru's adoptive mother. Arylisse used to work at Heartwood as a doctor of sorts, and was one of the first White Mages that he'd met in Eorzea. At the time, he didn't know that White Magic was forbidden. Regardless of rule-breaking, Bennett see's Ary as one of the kindest people he'd ever met, and still tries to visit her often at her new job.
:● '''[[Conrad Godsbane]]''' – The Angriest Ala Mhigan Samurai. Conrad is a huge guy who did a lot of fighting in his time, and Bennett sees him as a hero of the past. Knowing how strong Conrad is, Bennett finds it to be a good idea to practice sneaking around him. After all, if he can hide from the Ala Mhigan meat mountain, he can hide from anyone!

:● '''[[Zana Amaro]]''' – A thief turned mechanic who works at Heartwood. [[Kaiya Ailbhe|Kaiya]] brought her into the company, seems to have taught her a lot as well. Zana's also really fun to be around, and teaches Bennett about the thieves' code. While Bennett has no intention of becoming a true thief, he finds the code honorable, and sticks by it.

:● '''[[Cioccolato Stella]]''' -About a year ago, Bennett ran into Cioccolato on a beach. As he was unable to pronounce her first name, he mostly just called her "Stella". Cio was a good friend to him and a fantastic nurse for the rest of Heartwood. While she may be a little bit pervy, she's a fantastic person to be around, and Bennett finds it hard to imagine life without her.

:● '''[[E'yami Amane]]''' -E'kari's twin sister. She's super protective about anything she cares about, and will definitely throw dark-looking aether blasts at things that mess with her. Bennett sees E'yami as a kind of older sister. Fun to pull pranks on and with, and really dependable in a pinch.

:● '''[[Xihvi'ir Valathri]]''' -The harp guy. While Bennett was spending most of his time training under Nyscera and Rath, Xih joined Heartwood. Xih gets along well with Heartwood's members, and has been nicknamed "Firefly" by E'yami. Bennett really enjoys the music that Firefly plays on his harp.

:● '''[[Mordry Relen]]''' - The crazy one. Mordry is one of the more interesting people Bennett's met, and she drives him crazy to no end. As Mordry is two people in one body, Bennett was highly confused by the inconsistency in her actions. In one moment she could be as carefree as a young girl, but in the next be as cold-hearted as an upset Conrad. The carefree half is known as Moralee, and the coldhearted half is known as Mora. Bennett respects both halves, even though the Moralee half never stops picking him up.

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#2C3539;font-size:14px;color:#FFFFFF;">Friends and Allies</div>===
 
:● '''[[Saruna Verselo]]''' – This guy had intervened to help Kett get her books back, and threatened to cut off Bennett's hand for them. However, he's also helped Bennett escape [[Jebei Dotharl]] once. Bennett doesn't really know what to think about this odd man.
:● '''[[Tyo'li Tayuun]]''' – The Collective guy. Bennett was first hired by [[Enkhjargal Dalamiq]] to protect Tyo from harm, but no harm came to him during that time. Bennett held on to the special linkpearl he was given, and eventually wound up delivering things to the Black Vault. Tyo was one of the only members of the Eldritch collective who have not either tried to eat him or outright kill him whenever he sneaks into the Vault. Ever since he left the Collective, Bennett has never seen him again.
 
:● '''[[Enkhjargal Dalamiq]]''' – The serious guy. Along with [[Nyscera Alarone]], Enkh was one of the first Heartwood members that Bennett had ever met. Enkh used to work for Heartwood, but eventually left to join with [[Camille Everardi]]. While Enkh was still in Heartwood, Bennett didn't get to speak with him much. However, Enkh did offer Bennett a job once to protect [[Tyo'li Tayuun]]. At some point, Bennett intends to revisit Enkh and show him some of the cool stuff he finds on adventures.

:● '''[[Narumi Kotokaze]]''' – The Scalper. She can't really tell how old a lalafell is, but she sure can kick hard. As far as Bennett knows, this Au Ra is [[Skyfwyb Aergankawyn | Captain Aergankawyn]]'s girlfriend. She's called a bounty hunter, so that's pretty cool.

:● '''[[Kalahira Nira]]''' – The Hybrid. She is one of the nicest people Bennett has ever met, and finds it insane how she manages to stay this happy despite all that has happened to her. Bennett finds this apparent happiness and outgoing nature inspirational to those who have faced the worst things in the world.

:● '''[[Susumono Nonomono]]''' – The Jester. Despite that he doesn't actually tell that many jokes, Bennett made fast friends with this lalafellin alchemist through mutual friends and odd adventures. Susumono seems to look out for Bennett whenever he goes about getting into trouble.

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#2C3539; font-size:14px; color:#FFFFFF">Enemies & Rivals</div>===

:● '''[[C'tadhara Kett]]''' - The crazy slasher. Bennett first learned of Kett while investigating slashings that occured in Pearl Lane in Ul'dah. To prevent her from hurting more people, Bennett resolved to steal her summoning books. Kett still wants them back.

:● '''[[Skyfwyb Aergankawyn]]''' - A pirate. Skyf is rude and crude, but Kota seems to like her. As much as Bennett distrusts pirates, this one has to at least be okay.

</div>
=== '''♦ General''' ===
<hr>
 
: (This page is a work in progress!) Skyf is pretty much the epitome of "The Big Angry Pirate." She is usually seen walking around with a very obvious resting bitch face. If one was to talk to her, depending on her mood, she would either be cocky and teasing or just plain bitchy and angry. Obviously her mood is based on her day like anyone else. Skyf was in command of three ships but since her arrival to Eorzea, she only has two left. She has a fairly large crew and is the Captain of all two of them, though now they belong to the Maelstrom. (Don't worry, I made it so this is not OP is many different ways. No need to be alarmed.) She's also psychotic. Just a heads up. Also, her main ship is called The Jade's Demise. <div>
 



=== '''♦ Appearance''' ===
<hr>
 

: "Fuck off." Skyf is usually seen wearing all black with some color in either her weapon(s). She usually wears some type of long coat with big gloves and high boots. Skyf is almost NEVER seen without her bandanna on. She also has to wear Maelstrom colours from time to time.

: Skyf is pretty built. She has very obvious muscles all around her body, though can be hidden decently well if she is clothed. <div>
 



=== '''♦ Behaviour''' ===
<hr>
 
: As stated previously, Skyf is the "The Big Angry Pirate." Cocky and loud when she's in a good mood, and bitchy when she is ANY other mood. She's not really one to back down from a fight if challenged but will only agree to it if she thinks it will be worth it in some type of way... or if you piss her off really badly. Skyf's rude in the way where if she sees someone she likes the look of, she will see them as mostly a piece of meat and she will try to test them for being "Pillow Material." What is "Pillow Material" you ask? Gonna have to find that out for yourself IC if you wanna know!

<div>
=== '''♦ General''' ===
<hr>
 
: (This page has recently undergone a major rework! Check it out if you want to know what has changed!)
: This overly polite and apologetic medicine-woman can often be found scuttling about making deliveries for her shop. Due to her diligent work, E'kari's Alchemist Alley has become one of the Alchemist Guild's favored subsidiaries and is frequently called upon to do business as a representative of their organization. <div>
 



=== '''♦ Appearance''' ===
<hr>
 

: E'kari is a Seeker/Keeper half-breed who carries some physical traits from her mother and father. Her eyes are narrow slit-pupils, skin pale but capable of bronzing in the sun like a Seeker; though her fur is fluffy and tail is long like a Keeper.

: This miqo'te has a snow-print mane--white with undertones if black and grey--with pale blue eyes and bangle-stripes that frame her face.

: In true mage form--E'kari can usually be found in little to no armor, even when going into battle. It slows her down in preforming martial arts and also disrupts her casting to wear anything too heavy. Instead she prefers comfortable robes or her labcoat. <div>
 



=== '''♦ History ''' ===
<hr>
 
: The parentage of E'yami and E'kari is a taboo matter. One that the Nunh of the Eft ordered upon the strictest of penalty, never to be spoken of. While their mother--E'yari--was a Seeker and one of the designated breeding females to the Nunh; their father--Sagu'a--was actually a roving Keeper who had long since left behind a subservient life with his maternal-family in the Shroud to be a traveling poet, minstrel and anthropologist. The two Miqo'te met when Sagu'a and his scholarly lalafell companion, Anabel Nack, sought a place to rest during their travels. The tribe apprehensively took the researchers in as temporary guests. In that time Sagu'a and E'yari began a secret relationship.

:When it came to light that the two had been together Sagu'a was put to death, and his body unceremoniously left to rot in the heat of the desert just outside of their territory.

: In a double blow, not only was E'yari stricken with grief, but she also discovered she was pregnant. Due to a combination of her melancholy of her lost love, the despair at what her life would be at the whims of her Nunh and complications during the birthing process--E'yari died shortly after her second kit was delivered. The last words she managed to speak before slipping away were the names of her children. Both Doman, in honor of their father who fancied the culture. Yami, meaning dark, and Hikari meaning light--though the midwives were unfamiliar with the tongue, mistaking it simply for /E/kari.

: Upon the twins' birth into the Eft--as per tradition--the clan made a ceremonial offering of their namesake to Azeyma that would determine their role in the tribe. When the flesh was melted from the bones,their appointed wise-woman had determined E'kari was to be the next shaman while E'yami's bones were an augury that she was preordained to be a great warrior.

: The Nunh was pleased by the news and demanded celebration, but found that the females of the tribe were not nearly as thrilled. Many believed that the pale-faced kits with hair of black and white were cursed; killing their mother with ill-omen. Nack took this opportunity to offer her services in raising her friends' children and providing them with education.

:The lalafell's silver tongue managed to coerce the Nunh to allow this arrangement--given he had few other options. The three were put up in a yurt close to the Nunh's own home to keep an eye on the foreigner.

: In the years that proceeded their youth, the twins were given a proper education by the professor--in between being stolen away to be taught their duties to the Eft. While Yami practiced fighting the other tribal youths, Kari was introduced to herbal medicine, burial rites and how to divinate the future with the practice of bone reading.

: Despite the twins' diligent efforts to hone their skills and fulfill thier tribal roles, they sorely lacked any sort of companionship from the other children of the Eft--having learned from their mother's to be wary of the pale-faced Seekers. Because of this, Nack took it upon herself to try and teach the girls the basic art of carbuncle summoning and passed her own Topaz and Emerald gems down to each of them.

: Demure and plagued with anxiety, E'kari was given Nicholas--Nack's Emerald carbuncle--as a therapy animal; while E'yami received Whackara--a Topaz companion who had enough spunk and energy to keep up with her. Both arcanist-pets has served the Professor faithfully since her own youth and passed without incident into the hands of their new masters.

: As the twins neared their teenage years, an odd habit of E'kari's came to light. She could often be found speaking to the streams, winds and rock-faces in the territory which the tribe found very suspicious. Some of the more superstitious members of the tribe were convinced the was speaking to the dead; the Nunh believed this was some gift from the Warden, proving his right to rule was divine.

: Knowing better than to believe any of that, Nack speculated that this was a hereditary trait, passed down from Sagu'a, who was a Hearer. Once more the professor went to the Nunh and convinced him that he should allow her to take the twins to train abroad in Gridania that they might return more powerful and capable of serving him. He agreed to the idea and within a fortnight Nack brought the girls to the Shroud.

: Once in Gridania, E'kari joined the Conjurer's Guild as a student while E'yami sought training in both lance and bow.

: Though eager to make new friends the Seeker found this was easier said than done. The high populous of Hyur and Elezen looked condescendingly upon the tribal girls. It was not out of the ordinary for the more crude classmates to inquire if her parents were cousins. This trouble fitting in was compounded by the fact she didn't seem to learn at the same rate as everyone else. E'kari would often focus on small details of things, so much so that she could not intake an entire lesson. A classroom setting did her little credit, but during her free moments she would visit the Everschade and commune with the Elementals.

: On one such visit, a strong wind blew a small branch down from the great tree; which, E'kari took and mended with magic that it might be used as a crook.

: Due to her natural affinity for the forest and her difficulty with conventional methods of learning she was taken as a personal apprentice to Master E-Sumi-Yan, a patient Padjal who specialized in the guidance of Hearers. Discovering the trick seemed to be hands-on learning, he took every opportunity to have the Seeker accompany him while he worked. E'kari improved quickly under his tutelage, able to stand as a conjurer in her own right.

: Near the end of the girl's time abroad, the Seventh Umbral Calamity struck. With her guild called to act as medics on the field, the twins soon found themselves on the heels of disaster for the duration of the event. E'kari and her classmates followed the guildmasters into the chaos, assisting those who had been wounded or fallen. E'yami acted as E'kari's personal guard as she preformed field surgeries and magical healing. The two witnessed death up close on more than one occasion, finding themselves changed by the end of it all.

: After all was said and done, the girls' respective masters deemed them both students no longer. And while this was a sweet taste, it was also made bitter by the memories of carnage that now haunted them both.

: The twins returned to their desert territory as heroines who represented their tribe with valor and courage. The Nunh held festivities long into the night.It seemed as though they'd finally been accepted, but neither seemed particularly content with staying within the territory any more--not after all they had been through. Together E'yami and E'kari traveled to the Shrine of the Warden, offering an Eft in a pyre for guidance. When the flesh had melted from the bones, Azeyma's will bid they must go--for they had more to do out in the world. E'kari shared this edict with their people and with heavy hearts, they left again to find and fulfill their duties elsewhere until the time the Warden calls for them to return.

=== '''♦ Behavior ''' ===

 

: E'kari has a hard time learning in a conventional sense often requires an exceedingly patient teacher in order to have any real success. However once she does learn something--or is preforming a task she excels in--she is hard-pressed to be outshined.

: While still generally being good natured and apologetic, in combat E'kari is capable of being a formidable opponent. Being a conjurer she will often take the role of a healer, but her connection to the Elementals has also allowed to take a unique approach to martial arts. The Seeker will often harden a stone skin over her hands and feet while delivering blows, or using gales of wind to enhance her movement speed. She has named her self-made fighting style, "The Golem Step" which emphasizes momentum and fluidity. (Much of her techniques in form are inspired by real world Zui Quan)

: Despite her obvious shortcomings, E'kari is a very hopeful person and goes into every situation with optimism for success, even if she has failed at the task a hundred times before. Sometimes it's the hundred and first try that brings success.

: ● '''[[E'yami Amane]]''' - E'kari's protective fraternal twin sister, older by 7 minutes. E'yami has always been a strong source of strength, comfort and adventure as the two have grown. Though she has a very tomboyish and wears tough outer shell, E'kari knows that her sister is actually very caring and sensitive--always putting the needs of others before herself; and that is what makes her E'kari's hero.

: 💑 '''[[Vektis Sol]]''' - E'kari's boisterous, free-spirited and loveable husband. When they first met she admired his self confidence--often shyly observing him kicking down doors to shout his own name at people. There are few in the world who can raise E'kari's spirits like Vektis can. The two became close friends and then a couple shortly there after. Though many people see his behavior as a nuisance, E'kari celebrates her husband's off-beat mannerisms--unless of course they prove to be dangerous. She loves him to the end of the world and back. The two are married and have two young children together. "Yes, you have been informed correctly. Vektis is, indeed, the bestest." - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[E'kira Sol]]''' - The young daughter of Vektis and E'kari, making her a mixed breed Keeper/Seeker. Regardless of whatever situation she's in, E'kira tends to maintain a positive attitude. While Kira can be uncomfortably blunt as well as a bit bossy, she also has a fair mind and good natured heart. She cares immensely about her friends and is always striving to make more. This kitten has two dreams: to be a Dragoon and a Gryphon tamer.

: ● '''[[Maxwell Sol]]''' - Born to the Eft tribe--to the name E'rhaja Tia--and orphaned after his sire was defeated and overthrown by another male. E'kari picked up the kitten; she felt a kinship with him for their similar origins. Upon his arrival at Heartwood to the Sol family he was renamed by Vektis and E'kari so he might grow up feeling like he belonged. E’kari does not plan to inform him of his true parentage until he reaches adulthood. Now seven summers old, Max is shy, polite and thoughtful. Especially fond of tinkering with small shiny objects and collecting beads, rocks and shells. He has an exceptionally bright mind for a boy his age, though is often roped into his younger sister’s schemes.

: ● '''[[Nicholas Nack - Carbuncle]]''' - The ever-present summoned companion of E'kari. This carbuncle has been with E'kari throughout the Seeker's entire life as a sort of therapy animal, helping to keep her anxiety in check. With a gem layered with complex geometries: Anabel Nack made it so he and his sister creation--Whackara--could form memories; and with that, personalities. Nick is generally gentle and quiet, with a keen ability to sense people's emotional needs. As such, he tends to gravitate to people whom he suspects need comfort. Nick is aware of his own artificial intellegence and often grapples with his place in the world, as well as the loneliness that comes from his own existence. "Ploo!"

: ● '''[[Anabel Nack]]''' - Author, scientist, surgeon and parent. This quirky and frightening alchemist is the adopted mother of E'yami and E'kari. Nanabel Nabel by birth, she almost always goes by her pen-name "A.B. 'Nack'". Though her child rearing methods were always questionable at best, the most indisputable fact of it all is that Nack loves both of her girls very much. She is not above employing dark methods to ensure this mad-scientist keeps her loved ones safe. This lalafell's haunting laughter was picked up by E'kari as she was growing up. "Kuhuhuh....."

: ● '''[[Conrad Steelsong]]''' - This initially frighteningly large Ala Mhigan is actually the godparent of E'kari and Vektis' young daughter, E'kira. The four of them, as well as No'Ulla Khilik, all take up residence in the same house in the Mist. Conrad has obviously weathered the storm of many conflicts that have hardened his exterior. Despite his gruff demeanor, E'kari finds him to be a wonderful person and the closest thing to a father she's ever known.

: ● '''[[No'Ulla Khilik]]''' - The Ala Mhigan-weaver wife of Conrad Steelsong. She has recently returned from apprenticing in Ishgard to live with the Solsong household. E'kari finds her to be a skilled craftswoman and never tires of hearing about Ulla's special technique of Spell-Weaving. Ulla is a welcome addition to the family--E'kari just hopes that Vektis doesn't scare their new friend off with nonsensical antics.

: ● '''[[Nyscera Alarone]]''' - This mistress of shadowy death is a close friend of the twins' adopted mother. She is considered an aunt to E'kari and E'yami. Early on in E'kari stay at Heartwood, the dragon-riding assassin took E'kari, Bennett and Snowy in as pupils for physical and mental training. While it was grueling and at times crushing, E'kari owes her martial arts ability solely to these lessons. Nyscera taught E'kari the value of teamwork and also her how to be unphased by negative elements in her life.

: ● '''[[Rath Alarone]]''' - Nyscera's aloof husband--and by proxy--the twins' uncle. This applesauce-loving dark knight is the one that hired E'kari to work as the company alchemist--in no small part to do with the potent pain killers she was able to make for him after a fight that nearly ended in his death. He always seems have a joke lined up, even in the most bleak of situations.

: ● '''[[Bennett Cooper]]''' - E'kari's teammate and--since his adoption by Rath and Nyscera Alarone--cousin of sorts. E'kari sees Bennett as the shining future of their free company. While he makes mistakes and has a ways to go before he can truly master any of his arsenal of weapons, E'kari firmly believes this young boy is going to do great things. Could young Master Bennett be a something more than the average fighter...? "Cooper is Super..!" - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[E'vehlke Sohj]]''' - The maternal cousin of E'kari and E'yami. Vehlke is a fearless warrior with a strange accent. As she is a full blood Seeker of the Eft tribe, E'vehlke shares a striking resemblance to the twins' deceased mother.

: ● '''[[Sokhatai Borlaaq]]''' - This huntress is the wife of E'vehlke Sohj. She has a very specific way of talking. E'kari onced picked her brain about adventure and Au'Ra culture. She finds her delightful!

: ● '''[[Reina Sol]]''' - E'kari's half Keeper half Raen sister-in-law. She is the first person from Heartwood that the twins ever met, quickly taking the girls under her wing and giving them a place to stay. It was because of Reina that E'kari met Vektis. E'kari admires Reina as a strong and together person.

: ● '''[[Snowy Sol]]''' - E'kari's full miqo'te sister-in-law. Even before the two were related by marriage, E'kari has had a definite soft spot for this girl-genius in her heart. The two worked together in the clinic for some time, rather closely. In one occasion the two preformed life saving surgery on Vektis. E'kari's only qualm is that she fears this teen might be too relaxed about the dangerous world around her at times--but maybe that's just the anxiety talking.

: ● '''[[Xihvi'ir Valathri]]''' - Xihvi'ir, or 'Ashy' as the others have taken to calling him, is a kindly harp-player that has come into the service of Heartwood. Though E'kari doesn't know of his personal dealings in any intricate regard--other than his past as a gambler--she knows she can trust his character, as he is well loved by Nick. The Keeper has always loaned a helping hand to the company whenever a need arose, for that E'kari finds herself very grateful to her new friend. Though she doesn't know it yet, the two share an unexpected bond in blood.

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#4d0000; font-size:14px; color:#FFFFFF">Friends </div><div style="border:0px solid; padding:8px"> ===

: ● '''[[Sakeru Wakeru]]''' – This unsuspecting looking delivery boy has a dark past under the surface. A time ago, Sakeru divulged a portion of his history to E'kari and a few others. Oddly enough, she ended up trusting him more after learning he was a trained assassin. She was quite sad to see him leave for a time, but was much overjoyed at his return. Wherever this lalafell goes two things are a certain: death and dinner. "Did I leave the oven on..?" - Sakeru Wakeru

: ● '''[[Tustin Lafell]]''' - The first moment E'kari saw this lalafell he was being arrested on the free company lawn for the attempted armed robbery. Later when he returned to make his peace with Heartwood the two met and over time became close companions. Tustin's street-savvy, wild and hot-headed demeanor contrasts E'kari's bookish, nervous, awkwardness in a very positive way. This Dunesfolk left Heartwood some time ago to make something of himself out in the world. Since then he has begun studying medicine. He remains, to this day, one of E'kari's most treasured and beloved friends. "I'm not cute! I'm manly as hell!" - Tustin Lafell

: ● '''[[Tynos Riller]]''' - This towering black mage initially greatly frightened E'kari upon their first meeting. Perhaps it was his scar, his serious expression or his sheer size--regardless, she now knows him as a very kind-hearted and family oriented leader. He sacrifices much of himself to keep Heartwood's members safe--and frankly--works too hard. It would be a shock to find him away from the clinic for longer than a month. It's safe to say, E'kari's pharmacy has a special 'Tynos Budget' for the small fortune it takes to keep this misfortune prone Elezen on his feet. "My goodness..! Hurt again, Master Tynos...?" - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[Cioccolato Stella]]''' - Cioccolato, or Lady Cio as E'kari calls her, works as a nurse and aspiring doctor for Heartwood. This charming and kind healer can often be seen sporting pastel colors and traveling around in the company of her Demon Brick, Cenere, which is a close friend of Max. E'kari has always been very fond of this miqo'te since her arrival and is one of the few she trusts to care for Kira and Max in her absence.

: ● '''[[Kaiya Ailbhe]]''' - The librarian, chief of medicine and over-all brains of Heartwood. E'kari admires the patience of this woman but also feels horribly guilty that the actions of her free company have driven Kaiya to take up smoking. Occasionally E'kari will bring Kaiya cinnamon sticks en masse as an attempt to give her something roughly cigarette shaped to hold and suck on. It is unknown if Doctor Ailhbe actually enjoys these or if she is merely humoring E'kari. Hopefully at the very least she is not being driven to smoke those as well...

: ● '''[[Zana Amaro]]''' - An aloof gunslinger and self proclaimed alley-cat. Despite being told not to, E'kari still insists on respectfully referring to this miqo'te as Lady Zana. When this woman is armed and in a foul mood . . . heaven help her target. E'kari has seen Zana rip a man's arm clean off. However Zana does also have a soft side. When E'kari was gravely injured in an attempt on her life, Zana stationed herself in the clinic to watch over her.

: ● '''[[Narumi Kotokaze]]''' - More commonly referred to as "Kota". E'kari met this Maelstrom affiliated bounty hunter on the road when she was set upon by highwaymen--which Kota easily dispatched. Since then the Raen has been promoted to first lieutenant of the Storm-guard and assigned to work as the handler of the former pirate Skyfwyb. The officer comissions her medicine from E'kari's "Alchemist's Alley".

:● '''[[Skyfwyb Aergankawyn]]''' - E'kari was not fond of this woman in the start. The monsterous Seawolf had committed crimes against Heartwood on numerous occasions. E'kari was glad to hear of her sting and arrest by the Maelstrom. In the time that has followed, however, the curt and belligerent captain seems to have changed her ways to some extent. E'kari now views her slightly more favorably after having witnessed Skyfwyb's capacity to care genuinely for another person. It was also by the aid of this former pirate that the Solsong household was able to cross the sea to the east. As it stands now they are friends.

: ● '''[[Moralee Relen]]''' - Known to E'kari as "Mordry". This Au'Ra woman is rather complex for many reasons. Regardless E'kari cares greatly about Moralee and Mora in equal measure--although Mordry's "Moralee-half" is more familiar to her. Some time ago Mordry required E'kari's help with a somewhat risky task. This evoked the ire of her usually perpetually cheerful husband. Vektis has yet to forgive Mordry to this day, which fills the Seeker with guilt and remorse. However, because of that mission, E'kari learned how to brew a special and ancient potion she dubbed, "The Draught of the Dreamwalker".

: ● '''[[Neville Synch]]''' - This good natured marksman is the mate of Zana Amaro and the best friend of E'yami Amane. Over the period she has known him, this man has done a lot for E'kari's family which she could never repay. Though she does not know him too well personally she trusts him fully regardless. She always gets a chuckle out of the banter between Neville and Vektis.

: ● '''[[Vahn Quietfury]]''' - A sweet little boy with a curious connection to an elder dragon. E'kari first met the half lalafell on a caravan mission that was attacked. In the absence of his own mother, the Seeker would often look after Vahn when his father was away. One day when Vahn was playing with some of the other boys in the company yard he exhibited dangerous abilities. He and his father were sent away for the potential danger they posed. E'kari still loves Vahn like a son.

: ● '''[[Brandon Stormstrider]]''' - The Hyur father of Vahn Quietfury. E'kari met Brandon a short time after Vahn. The two became close friends, as the miqo'te was one of the few Heartwood members Brandon trusted. She would often do simple favors for the father and son to make their lives easier such as cleaning or bringing home pineapples. Upon their leaving to a new safehaven the Seeker found herself deeply saddend, however Brandon still sneaks over to the company on occasion. Brandon has placed E'kari under the protection of his men known only as "The Rogues".

: ● '''[[Enkhjargal Dalamiq]]''' - This stoic summoner is actually E'kari's master. He took her under his wing when she first arrived to Heartwood and had to terrorize her into being able to use her magic for anything beyond healing. His methods worked and looking back, E'kari owes him all of the strength she possesses now. Beyond that, she thinks he is a wonderful person who has natural ability with children. Who knew!

: ● '''[[Camille Everardi]]''' - Camille is Enkhjargal Dalamiq's wife and a talented mage, among many other things. E'kari has seen Camille fight in more than one way in the past with spars. She found this woman to be a strong female rolemodel for her in the past when she was just learning to fight--and still looks up to her to this day. E'kari couldn't be happier that her master and friend found happiness in each other's company.

: ● '''[[Chokho Viqqoh]]''' - A fierce, fiery and loyal amnesiac-Keeper who recently joined Heartwood. Since her arrival, Chokho and E'kari have become fast friends; bonding over their shared love of martial arts and string instruments. Though the two differ greatly in temperament and personality they have a shared respect for one another.

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#4d0000;font-size:14px;color:#FFFFFF;">Acquaintances</div><div style="border:0px solid; padding:8px">===

: ● '''[[Dead Willow]]''' - This Gyr Abanian born Hellsguard was Vektis’ teacher while he studied Red Magic. While possessing the—not uncommon—steely gaze of a pit fighter, Willow has also expressed true care and kindness toward her apprentice and his family. E’kari has come to respect Willow a great deal, so much so that she’s offered the Roegadyn a teaching position at her school upon its completion. 

:● '''[[Nevrynn Alarone]]''' - While E'kari initially mistrusted the Seeker for his roguish persona and wanderlust, in resent months she has come to warm up to her sister's mate. Though she may not know him as well as she might like, he makes her sister happy. And the affection between the two are plain to see.

: ● '''[[Jake Jakkya]]''' - A red-lenses wearing void-mage who has spent a great deal of his life as a pit fighter. This spellsword is particularly close to E'kari's adopted mother, Nack, which makes him a brother of sorts. E'kari sorely wishes he would be less devil-may-care in demeanor at times, or at least care a bit more about his own life. She's always pleased when he pops up unharmed now and again. This former criminal has been blacklisted from Heartwood for his criminal debts to the Syndicate--though he has since paid them back in full, becoming an ally to the group.

: ● '''[[Ash Valken]]''' - The tall, brooding brother of Nyscera who has a strong dislike for Rath. E'kari met this former bandit spying on her a few times. Eventually the two had a sit-down conversation and became close--which was a new thing for the Au'Ra. E'kari taught Ash how to play a grasswhistle, fixed his broken hearing-aid and engaged in a playful spar. Somehow, in one way or another, most of their interactions end in awkward sexual-tension. The day Ash left Heartwood, E'kari gave him a necklace made from a strap of her doctor's bag to remember her by and encouraged him to follow his dreams.

: ● '''[[Akiyuki Okuma]]''' - The large, quiet, but overall pleasant husband of Cio who has joined Heartwood since his marriage to the plucky, pastel nursemaid. This reserved Au'Ra is a welcome addition to the family.

: ● '''[[Kenoni Eien’no]]''' - The betrothed of her friend Moralee. A stern and stoic acquaintance but never the less, E'kari admires his loyalty and commitment to Mordry. She hopes the two will have a wonderful life together with their child.

: ● '''[[J'edite Shedai]]''' - A fellow enthusiast of martial arts that spends most of her time roaming Thanalan seeking glory for the Jackal tribe. The two have had run-ins here and there as J'edite was on hunts and once sparred under the Sultan tree. The Seekers employ very different styles of their own making: while E'kari fights with her heavy handed "Golem Step" ideal for doing battle with armed and armored foes; J'edite uses fast kicks transitioning into fluid jabs in her "Fire Dancer" style that proves to be the bane of slower opponents. As it stands the two are friendly rivals.

: ● '''[[Alpon Adpon]]''' - The Pink Punisher! E'kari has met this "battle-chef" in passing more than once. The lalafell's skill in combat seems to rival his culinary prowess.

: ● '''[[Namaka Ebisu]]''' - A strange and sweet water-sprite who lives in a fountain. You want tree slugs? Because this is how you get tree slugs.

: ● '''[[Alistar Stormfist]]''' - Found by Heartwood on the road to Little Ala Mhigo, this former Garlean slave was near death and wearing a magitek collar. With no where else to go and no life to return to, this gentle giant returned with the caravan to the Heartwood Homestead.

: ● '''[[Lucinda Kovix]]''' - This kindly and capable, Ishgardian drifter met Doctor Sol as she was returning from conversing with the Everschade and her husband's chocobo ran off. Lucinda and E'kari worked together to catch the bird and got to talking about Lucy's need for work and also to find her missing brother. The Miqo'te has since come to stay at Heartwood which has overjoyed E'kari.

: ● '''[[L'nela Varya]]''' - A one-eyed woman who really enjoys taking a bite out of life! In all seriousness--L'nela is a chipper and quirky person. A little emotional at times, but rightfully so; as her recent years have been filled with trauma. Both physical and emotional. Careful, she likes to nibble!
 

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#4d0000;font-size:14px;color:#FFFFFF;">Disliked</div><div style="border:0px solid; padding:8px">===

:● '''[[Tharl Oom Khash - NPC]]''' - A being made of corruption who takes his name from his place of creation. While to most guardians of the Shroud he would be a natural enemy anyway--this thing has taken a special and terrible shine to tormenting E'kari and all of Heartwood. His track record of terrible deeds is staggering and body count ever on the rise. His most memorable in E'kari's mind were her children, Sagu'a and Cize. The vengeful mother aided in his demise by pummeling him with special stones--from Tynos and Kaiya--she formed into barbaric gauntlets.


:● '''[[The Pumpking - NPC]]''' - This strange and otherwordly being was initially just an unsettling presence that occasionally appeared in the Heartwood halls offering bargains for steep moral prices. It was not until this squash-headed man manipulated Tustin Lafell into a contract that he became E'kari's enemy. The Seeker used excessive force against the entitiy, beating him into a puddle of black ooze. He has since returned to haunt Heartwood, though has stifled a sum of E'kari's animosity toward him by fixing her carbuncle's shattered gem and helping finish off Khash for good.

== <div style="padding:10px 15px; background:#4d0000; font-size:20px; color:#ffffff">'''Character Trivia'''</div>==
 
:■ E'kari refers to people as 'master' or 'lady' because as a young newcomer to Gridania she was hazed by the local youths; who told her that it was how non-tribal people spoke to one another. Excited to make 'friends' the Seeker picked this up almost immediately. It was not until this was an ingrained habit that she learned it was all a ruse for E'kari to make a fool of herself every time she spoke.
:■ Despite the skill not coming up particularly often, E'kari is adept at Thavnarian belly-dancing. This and many similar styles of celebratory dance were used among she and her kin in their tribal lands; though this is actually not their people's only connection to the middle east. The dress style, use of Alchemy and herbal medicines, even their taste in food has been greatly influenced by trade with Thavnair, much like many others who reside in Thanalan.
:■ E'kari will often experience an inconsolable sense of dread when E'yami is in emotional distress or danger, even if they are far apart. This link between twins seems to go both ways.
:■ Due to E'kari's heavy aspection to Earth she is notoriously difficult to knock off her feet and has immense stamina; adversely, she is not as quick as she'd like to be and swimming in deep water takes a significant amount of energy.
:■ Though most are unaware--or attribute some of her mannerisms to merely being quirky--E'kari actually suffers from high functioning autism. Social queues tend to be her biggest hurdle, along with focusing on the big picture of tasks as opposed to minut details, and sorting out painful emotions.

<div>
=== '''♦ General''' ===
<hr>
 
: (This page has recently undergone a major rework! Check it out if you want to know what has changed!)
: This overly polite and apologetic medicine-woman can often be found scuttling about making deliveries for her shop. Due to her diligent work, E'kari's Alchemist Alley has become one of the Alchemist Guild's favored subsidiaries and is frequently called upon to do business as a representative of their organization. <div>
 



=== '''♦ Appearance''' ===
<hr>
 

: E'kari is a Seeker/Keeper half-breed who carries some physical traits from her mother and father. Her eyes are narrow slit-pupils, skin pale but capable of bronzing in the sun like a Seeker; though her fur is fluffy and tail is long like a Keeper.

: This miqo'te has a snow-print mane--white with undertones if black and grey--with pale blue eyes and bangle-stripes that frame her face.

: In true mage form--E'kari can usually be found in little to no armor, even when going into battle. It slows her down in preforming martial arts and also disrupts her casting to wear anything too heavy. Instead she prefers comfortable robes or her labcoat. <div>
 



=== '''♦ History ''' ===

: The parentage of E'yami and E'kari is a taboo matter. One that the Nunh of the Eft ordered upon the strictest of penalty, never to be spoken of. While their mother--E'yari--was a Seeker and one of the designated breeding females to the Nunh; their father--Sagu'a--was actually a roving Keeper who had long since left behind a subservient life with his maternal-family in the Shroud to be a traveling poet, minstrel and anthropologist. The two Miqo'te met when Sagu'a and his scholarly lalafell companion, Anabel Nack, sought a place to rest during their travels. The tribe apprehensively took the researchers in as temporary guests. In that time Sagu'a and E'yari began a secret relationship.

:When it came to light that the two had been together Sagu'a was put to death, and his body unceremoniously left to rot in the heat of the desert just outside of their territory.

: In a double blow, not only was E'yari stricken with grief, but she also discovered she was pregnant. Due to a combination of her melancholy of her lost love, the despair at what her life would be at the whims of her Nunh and complications during the birthing process--E'yari died shortly after her second kit was delivered. The last words she managed to speak before slipping away were the names of her children. Both Doman, in honor of their father who fancied the culture. Yami, meaning dark, and Hikari meaning light--though the midwives were unfamiliar with the tongue, mistaking it simply for /E/kari.

: Upon the twins' birth into the Eft--as per tradition--the clan made a ceremonial offering of their namesake to Azeyma that would determine their role in the tribe. When the flesh was melted from the bones,their appointed wise-woman had determined E'kari was to be the next shaman while E'yami's bones were an augury that she was preordained to be a great warrior.

: The Nunh was pleased by the news and demanded celebration, but found that the females of the tribe were not nearly as thrilled. Many believed that the pale-faced kits with hair of black and white were cursed; killing their mother with ill-omen. Nack took this opportunity to offer her services in raising her friends' children and providing them with education.

:The lalafell's silver tongue managed to coerce the Nunh to allow this arrangement--given he had few other options. The three were put up in a yurt close to the Nunh's own home to keep an eye on the foreigner.

: In the years that proceeded their youth, the twins were given a proper education by the professor--in between being stolen away to be taught their duties to the Eft. While Yami practiced fighting the other tribal youths, Kari was introduced to herbal medicine, burial rites and how to divinate the future with the practice of bone reading.

: Despite the twins' diligent efforts to hone their skills and fulfill thier tribal roles, they sorely lacked any sort of companionship from the other children of the Eft--having learned from their mother's to be wary of the pale-faced Seekers. Because of this, Nack took it upon herself to try and teach the girls the basic art of carbuncle summoning and passed her own Topaz and Emerald gems down to each of them.

: Demure and plagued with anxiety, E'kari was given Nicholas--Nack's Emerald carbuncle--as a therapy animal; while E'yami received Whackara--a Topaz companion who had enough spunk and energy to keep up with her. Both arcanist-pets has served the Professor faithfully since her own youth and passed without incident into the hands of their new masters.

: As the twins neared their teenage years, an odd habit of E'kari's came to light. She could often be found speaking to the streams, winds and rock-faces in the territory which the tribe found very suspicious. Some of the more superstitious members of the tribe were convinced the was speaking to the dead; the Nunh believed this was some gift from the Warden, proving his right to rule was divine.

: Knowing better than to believe any of that, Nack speculated that this was a hereditary trait, passed down from Sagu'a, who was a Hearer. Once more the professor went to the Nunh and convinced him that he should allow her to take the twins to train abroad in Gridania that they might return more powerful and capable of serving him. He agreed to the idea and within a fortnight Nack brought the girls to the Shroud.

: Once in Gridania, E'kari joined the Conjurer's Guild as a student while E'yami sought training in both lance and bow.

: Though eager to make new friends the Seeker found this was easier said than done. The high populous of Hyur and Elezen looked condescendingly upon the tribal girls. It was not out of the ordinary for the more crude classmates to inquire if her parents were cousins. This trouble fitting in was compounded by the fact she didn't seem to learn at the same rate as everyone else. E'kari would often focus on small details of things, so much so that she could not intake an entire lesson. A classroom setting did her little credit, but during her free moments she would visit the Everschade and commune with the Elementals.

: On one such visit, a strong wind blew a small branch down from the great tree; which, E'kari took and mended with magic that it might be used as a crook.

: Due to her natural affinity for the forest and her difficulty with conventional methods of learning she was taken as a personal apprentice to Master E-Sumi-Yan, a patient Padjal who specialized in the guidance of Hearers. Discovering the trick seemed to be hands-on learning, he took every opportunity to have the Seeker accompany him while he worked. E'kari improved quickly under his tutelage, able to stand as a conjurer in her own right.

: Near the end of the girl's time abroad, the Seventh Umbral Calamity struck. With her guild called to act as medics on the field, the twins soon found themselves on the heels of disaster for the duration of the event. E'kari and her classmates followed the guildmasters into the chaos, assisting those who had been wounded or fallen. E'yami acted as E'kari's personal guard as she preformed field surgeries and magical healing. The two witnessed death up close on more than one occasion, finding themselves changed by the end of it all.

: After all was said and done, the girls' respective masters deemed them both students no longer. And while this was a sweet taste, it was also made bitter by the memories of carnage that now haunted them both.

: The twins returned to their desert territory as heroines who represented their tribe with valor and courage. The Nunh held festivities long into the night.It seemed as though they'd finally been accepted, but neither seemed particularly content with staying within the territory any more--not after all they had been through. Together E'yami and E'kari traveled to the Shrine of the Warden, offering an Eft in a pyre for guidance. When the flesh had melted from the bones, Azeyma's will bid they must go--for they had more to do out in the world. E'kari shared this edict with their people and with heavy hearts, they left again to find and fulfill their duties elsewhere until the time the Warden calls for them to return.

=== '''♦ Behavior ''' ===

 

: E'kari has a hard time learning in a conventional sense often requires an exceedingly patient teacher in order to have any real success. However once she does learn something--or is preforming a task she excels in--she is hard-pressed to be outshined.

: While still generally being good natured and apologetic, in combat E'kari is capable of being a formidable opponent. Being a conjurer she will often take the role of a healer, but her connection to the Elementals has also allowed to take a unique approach to martial arts. The Seeker will often harden a stone skin over her hands and feet while delivering blows, or using gales of wind to enhance her movement speed. She has named her self-made fighting style, "The Golem Step" which emphasizes momentum and fluidity. (Much of her techniques in form are inspired by real world Zui Quan)

: Despite her obvious shortcomings, E'kari is a very hopeful person and goes into every situation with optimism for success, even if she has failed at the task a hundred times before. Sometimes it's the hundred and first try that brings success.

: ● '''[[E'yami Amane]]''' - E'kari's protective fraternal twin sister, older by 7 minutes. E'yami has always been a strong source of strength, comfort and adventure as the two have grown. Though she has a very tomboyish and wears tough outer shell, E'kari knows that her sister is actually very caring and sensitive--always putting the needs of others before herself; and that is what makes her E'kari's hero.

: 💑 '''[[Vektis Sol]]''' - E'kari's boisterous, free-spirited and loveable husband. When they first met she admired his self confidence--often shyly observing him kicking down doors to shout his own name at people. There are few in the world who can raise E'kari's spirits like Vektis can. The two became close friends and then a couple shortly there after. Though many people see his behavior as a nuisance, E'kari celebrates her husband's off-beat mannerisms--unless of course they prove to be dangerous. She loves him to the end of the world and back. The two are married and have two young children together. "Yes, you have been informed correctly. Vektis is, indeed, the bestest." - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[E'kira Sol]]''' - The young daughter of Vektis and E'kari, making her a mixed breed Keeper/Seeker. Regardless of whatever situation she's in, E'kira tends to maintain a positive attitude. While Kira can be uncomfortably blunt as well as a bit bossy, she also has a fair mind and good natured heart. She cares immensely about her friends and is always striving to make more. This kitten has two dreams: to be a Dragoon and a Gryphon tamer.

: ● '''[[Maxwell Sol]]''' - Born to the Eft tribe--to the name E'rhaja Tia--and orphaned after his sire was defeated and overthrown by another male. E'kari picked up the kitten; she felt a kinship with him for their similar origins. Upon his arrival at Heartwood to the Sol family he was renamed by Vektis and E'kari so he might grow up feeling like he belonged. E’kari does not plan to inform him of his true parentage until he reaches adulthood. Now seven summers old, Max is shy, polite and thoughtful. Especially fond of tinkering with small shiny objects and collecting beads, rocks and shells. He has an exceptionally bright mind for a boy his age, though is often roped into his younger sister’s schemes.

: ● '''[[Nicholas Nack - Carbuncle]]''' - The ever-present summoned companion of E'kari. This carbuncle has been with E'kari throughout the Seeker's entire life as a sort of therapy animal, helping to keep her anxiety in check. With a gem layered with complex geometries: Anabel Nack made it so he and his sister creation--Whackara--could form memories; and with that, personalities. Nick is generally gentle and quiet, with a keen ability to sense people's emotional needs. As such, he tends to gravitate to people whom he suspects need comfort. Nick is aware of his own artificial intellegence and often grapples with his place in the world, as well as the loneliness that comes from his own existence. "Ploo!"

: ● '''[[Anabel Nack]]''' - Author, scientist, surgeon and parent. This quirky and frightening alchemist is the adopted mother of E'yami and E'kari. Nanabel Nabel by birth, she almost always goes by her pen-name "A.B. 'Nack'". Though her child rearing methods were always questionable at best, the most indisputable fact of it all is that Nack loves both of her girls very much. She is not above employing dark methods to ensure this mad-scientist keeps her loved ones safe. This lalafell's haunting laughter was picked up by E'kari as she was growing up. "Kuhuhuh....."

: ● '''[[Conrad Steelsong]]''' - This initially frighteningly large Ala Mhigan is actually the godparent of E'kari and Vektis' young daughter, E'kira. The four of them, as well as No'Ulla Khilik, all take up residence in the same house in the Mist. Conrad has obviously weathered the storm of many conflicts that have hardened his exterior. Despite his gruff demeanor, E'kari finds him to be a wonderful person and the closest thing to a father she's ever known.

: ● '''[[No'Ulla Khilik]]''' - The Ala Mhigan-weaver wife of Conrad Steelsong. She has recently returned from apprenticing in Ishgard to live with the Solsong household. E'kari finds her to be a skilled craftswoman and never tires of hearing about Ulla's special technique of Spell-Weaving. Ulla is a welcome addition to the family--E'kari just hopes that Vektis doesn't scare their new friend off with nonsensical antics.

: ● '''[[Nyscera Alarone]]''' - This mistress of shadowy death is a close friend of the twins' adopted mother. She is considered an aunt to E'kari and E'yami. Early on in E'kari stay at Heartwood, the dragon-riding assassin took E'kari, Bennett and Snowy in as pupils for physical and mental training. While it was grueling and at times crushing, E'kari owes her martial arts ability solely to these lessons. Nyscera taught E'kari the value of teamwork and also her how to be unphased by negative elements in her life.

: ● '''[[Rath Alarone]]''' - Nyscera's aloof husband--and by proxy--the twins' uncle. This applesauce-loving dark knight is the one that hired E'kari to work as the company alchemist--in no small part to do with the potent pain killers she was able to make for him after a fight that nearly ended in his death. He always seems have a joke lined up, even in the most bleak of situations.

: ● '''[[Bennett Cooper]]''' - E'kari's teammate and--since his adoption by Rath and Nyscera Alarone--cousin of sorts. E'kari sees Bennett as the shining future of their free company. While he makes mistakes and has a ways to go before he can truly master any of his arsenal of weapons, E'kari firmly believes this young boy is going to do great things. Could young Master Bennett be a something more than the average fighter...? "Cooper is Super..!" - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[E'vehlke Sohj]]''' - The maternal cousin of E'kari and E'yami. Vehlke is a fearless warrior with a strange accent. As she is a full blood Seeker of the Eft tribe, E'vehlke shares a striking resemblance to the twins' deceased mother.

: ● '''[[Sokhatai Borlaaq]]''' - This huntress is the wife of E'vehlke Sohj. She has a very specific way of talking. E'kari onced picked her brain about adventure and Au'Ra culture. She finds her delightful!

: ● '''[[Reina Sol]]''' - E'kari's half Keeper half Raen sister-in-law. She is the first person from Heartwood that the twins ever met, quickly taking the girls under her wing and giving them a place to stay. It was because of Reina that E'kari met Vektis. E'kari admires Reina as a strong and together person.

: ● '''[[Snowy Sol]]''' - E'kari's full miqo'te sister-in-law. Even before the two were related by marriage, E'kari has had a definite soft spot for this girl-genius in her heart. The two worked together in the clinic for some time, rather closely. In one occasion the two preformed life saving surgery on Vektis. E'kari's only qualm is that she fears this teen might be too relaxed about the dangerous world around her at times--but maybe that's just the anxiety talking.

: ● '''[[Xihvi'ir Valathri]]''' - Xihvi'ir, or 'Ashy' as the others have taken to calling him, is a kindly harp-player that has come into the service of Heartwood. Though E'kari doesn't know of his personal dealings in any intricate regard--other than his past as a gambler--she knows she can trust his character, as he is well loved by Nick. The Keeper has always loaned a helping hand to the company whenever a need arose, for that E'kari finds herself very grateful to her new friend. Though she doesn't know it yet, the two share an unexpected bond in blood.

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#4d0000; font-size:14px; color:#FFFFFF">Friends </div><div style="border:0px solid; padding:8px"> ===

: ● '''[[Sakeru Wakeru]]''' – This unsuspecting looking delivery boy has a dark past under the surface. A time ago, Sakeru divulged a portion of his history to E'kari and a few others. Oddly enough, she ended up trusting him more after learning he was a trained assassin. She was quite sad to see him leave for a time, but was much overjoyed at his return. Wherever this lalafell goes two things are a certain: death and dinner. "Did I leave the oven on..?" - Sakeru Wakeru

: ● '''[[Tustin Lafell]]''' - The first moment E'kari saw this lalafell he was being arrested on the free company lawn for the attempted armed robbery. Later when he returned to make his peace with Heartwood the two met and over time became close companions. Tustin's street-savvy, wild and hot-headed demeanor contrasts E'kari's bookish, nervous, awkwardness in a very positive way. This Dunesfolk left Heartwood some time ago to make something of himself out in the world. Since then he has begun studying medicine. He remains, to this day, one of E'kari's most treasured and beloved friends. "I'm not cute! I'm manly as hell!" - Tustin Lafell

: ● '''[[Tynos Riller]]''' - This towering black mage initially greatly frightened E'kari upon their first meeting. Perhaps it was his scar, his serious expression or his sheer size--regardless, she now knows him as a very kind-hearted and family oriented leader. He sacrifices much of himself to keep Heartwood's members safe--and frankly--works too hard. It would be a shock to find him away from the clinic for longer than a month. It's safe to say, E'kari's pharmacy has a special 'Tynos Budget' for the small fortune it takes to keep this misfortune prone Elezen on his feet. "My goodness..! Hurt again, Master Tynos...?" - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[Cioccolato Stella]]''' - Cioccolato, or Lady Cio as E'kari calls her, works as a nurse and aspiring doctor for Heartwood. This charming and kind healer can often be seen sporting pastel colors and traveling around in the company of her Demon Brick, Cenere, which is a close friend of Max. E'kari has always been very fond of this miqo'te since her arrival and is one of the few she trusts to care for Kira and Max in her absence.

: ● '''[[Kaiya Ailbhe]]''' - The librarian, chief of medicine and over-all brains of Heartwood. E'kari admires the patience of this woman but also feels horribly guilty that the actions of her free company have driven Kaiya to take up smoking. Occasionally E'kari will bring Kaiya cinnamon sticks en masse as an attempt to give her something roughly cigarette shaped to hold and suck on. It is unknown if Doctor Ailhbe actually enjoys these or if she is merely humoring E'kari. Hopefully at the very least she is not being driven to smoke those as well...

: ● '''[[Zana Amaro]]''' - An aloof gunslinger and self proclaimed alley-cat. Despite being told not to, E'kari still insists on respectfully referring to this miqo'te as Lady Zana. When this woman is armed and in a foul mood . . . heaven help her target. E'kari has seen Zana rip a man's arm clean off. However Zana does also have a soft side. When E'kari was gravely injured in an attempt on her life, Zana stationed herself in the clinic to watch over her.

: ● '''[[Narumi Kotokaze]]''' - More commonly referred to as "Kota". E'kari met this Maelstrom affiliated bounty hunter on the road when she was set upon by highwaymen--which Kota easily dispatched. Since then the Raen has been promoted to first lieutenant of the Storm-guard and assigned to work as the handler of the former pirate Skyfwyb. The officer comissions her medicine from E'kari's "Alchemist's Alley".

:● '''[[Skyfwyb Aergankawyn]]''' - E'kari was not fond of this woman in the start. The monsterous Seawolf had committed crimes against Heartwood on numerous occasions. E'kari was glad to hear of her sting and arrest by the Maelstrom. In the time that has followed, however, the curt and belligerent captain seems to have changed her ways to some extent. E'kari now views her slightly more favorably after having witnessed Skyfwyb's capacity to care genuinely for another person. It was also by the aid of this former pirate that the Solsong household was able to cross the sea to the east. As it stands now they are friends.

: ● '''[[Moralee Relen]]''' - Known to E'kari as "Mordry". This Au'Ra woman is rather complex for many reasons. Regardless E'kari cares greatly about Moralee and Mora in equal measure--although Mordry's "Moralee-half" is more familiar to her. Some time ago Mordry required E'kari's help with a somewhat risky task. This evoked the ire of her usually perpetually cheerful husband. Vektis has yet to forgive Mordry to this day, which fills the Seeker with guilt and remorse. However, because of that mission, E'kari learned how to brew a special and ancient potion she dubbed, "The Draught of the Dreamwalker".

: ● '''[[Neville Synch]]''' - This good natured marksman is the mate of Zana Amaro and the best friend of E'yami Amane. Over the period she has known him, this man has done a lot for E'kari's family which she could never repay. Though she does not know him too well personally she trusts him fully regardless. She always gets a chuckle out of the banter between Neville and Vektis.

: ● '''[[Vahn Quietfury]]''' - A sweet little boy with a curious connection to an elder dragon. E'kari first met the half lalafell on a caravan mission that was attacked. In the absence of his own mother, the Seeker would often look after Vahn when his father was away. One day when Vahn was playing with some of the other boys in the company yard he exhibited dangerous abilities. He and his father were sent away for the potential danger they posed. E'kari still loves Vahn like a son.

: ● '''[[Brandon Stormstrider]]''' - The Hyur father of Vahn Quietfury. E'kari met Brandon a short time after Vahn. The two became close friends, as the miqo'te was one of the few Heartwood members Brandon trusted. She would often do simple favors for the father and son to make their lives easier such as cleaning or bringing home pineapples. Upon their leaving to a new safehaven the Seeker found herself deeply saddend, however Brandon still sneaks over to the company on occasion. Brandon has placed E'kari under the protection of his men known only as "The Rogues".

: ● '''[[Enkhjargal Dalamiq]]''' - This stoic summoner is actually E'kari's master. He took her under his wing when she first arrived to Heartwood and had to terrorize her into being able to use her magic for anything beyond healing. His methods worked and looking back, E'kari owes him all of the strength she possesses now. Beyond that, she thinks he is a wonderful person who has natural ability with children. Who knew!

: ● '''[[Camille Everardi]]''' - Camille is Enkhjargal Dalamiq's wife and a talented mage, among many other things. E'kari has seen Camille fight in more than one way in the past with spars. She found this woman to be a strong female rolemodel for her in the past when she was just learning to fight--and still looks up to her to this day. E'kari couldn't be happier that her master and friend found happiness in each other's company.

: ● '''[[Chokho Viqqoh]]''' - A fierce, fiery and loyal amnesiac-Keeper who recently joined Heartwood. Since her arrival, Chokho and E'kari have become fast friends; bonding over their shared love of martial arts and string instruments. Though the two differ greatly in temperament and personality they have a shared respect for one another.

: ● '''[[Dead Willow]]''' - This Gyr Abanian born Hellsguard was Vektis’ teacher while he studied Red Magic. While possessing the—not uncommon—gruff demeanor of a pit fighter, Willow has also expressed true care and kindness toward her apprentice and his family. E’kari has come to respect Willow a great deal, so much so that she’s offered the Roegadyn a teaching position at her school upon its completion. 

:● '''[[Nevrynn Alarone]]''' - While E'kari initially mistrusted the Seeker for his roguish persona and wanderlust, in resent months she has come to warm up to her sister's mate. Though she may not know him as well as she might like, he makes her sister happy. And the affection between the two are plain to see.

: ● '''[[Jake Jakkya]]''' - A red-lenses wearing void-mage who has spent a great deal of his life as a pit fighter. This spellsword is particularly close to E'kari's adopted mother, Nack, which makes him a brother of sorts. E'kari sorely wishes he would be less devil-may-care in demeanor at times, or at least care a bit more about his own life. She's always pleased when he pops up unharmed now and again. This former criminal has been blacklisted from Heartwood for his criminal debts to the Syndicate--though he has since paid them back in full, becoming an ally to the group.

: ● '''[[Ash Valken]]''' - The tall, brooding brother of Nyscera who has a strong dislike for Rath. E'kari met this former bandit spying on her a few times. Eventually the two had a sit-down conversation and became close--which was a new thing for the Au'Ra. E'kari taught Ash how to play a grasswhistle, fixed his broken hearing-aid and engaged in a playful spar. Somehow, in one way or another, most of their interactions end in awkward sexual-tension. The day Ash left Heartwood, E'kari gave him a necklace made from a strap of her doctor's bag to remember her by and encouraged him to follow his dreams.

: ● '''[[Akiyuki Okuma]]''' - The large, quiet, but overall pleasant husband of Cio who has joined Heartwood since his marriage to the plucky, pastel nursemaid. This reserved Au'Ra is a welcome addition to the family.

: ● '''[[Kenoni Eien’no]]''' - The betrothed of her friend Moralee. A stern and stoic acquaintance but never the less, E'kari admires his loyalty and commitment to Mordry. She hopes the two will have a wonderful life together with their child.

: ● '''[[J'edite Shedai]]''' - A fellow enthusiast of martial arts that spends most of her time roaming Thanalan seeking glory for the Jackal tribe. The two have had run-ins here and there as J'edite was on hunts and once sparred under the Sultan tree. The Seekers employ very different styles of their own making: while E'kari fights with her heavy handed "Golem Step" ideal for doing battle with armed and armored foes; J'edite uses fast kicks transitioning into fluid jabs in her "Fire Dancer" style that proves to be the bane of slower opponents. As it stands the two are friendly rivals.

: ● '''[[Alpon Adpon]]''' - The Pink Punisher! E'kari has met this "battle-chef" in passing more than once. The lalafell's skill in combat seems to rival his culinary prowess.

: ● '''[[Namaka Ebisu]]''' - A strange and sweet water-sprite who lives in a fountain. You want tree slugs? Because this is how you get tree slugs.

: ● '''[[Alistar Stormfist]]''' - Found by Heartwood on the road to Little Ala Mhigo, this former Garlean slave was near death and wearing a magitek collar. With no where else to go and no life to return to, this gentle giant returned with the caravan to the Heartwood Homestead.

: ● '''[[Lucinda Kovix]]''' - This kindly and capable, Ishgardian drifter met Doctor Sol as she was returning from conversing with the Everschade and her husband's chocobo ran off. Lucinda and E'kari worked together to catch the bird and got to talking about Lucy's need for work and also to find her missing brother. The Miqo'te has since come to stay at Heartwood which has overjoyed E'kari.

: ● '''[[L'nela Varya]]''' - A one-eyed woman who really enjoys taking a bite out of life! In all seriousness--L'nela is a chipper and quirky person. A little emotional at times, but rightfully so; as her recent years have been filled with trauma. Both physical and emotional. Careful, she likes to nibble!

:● '''[[Tharl Oom Khash - NPC]]''' - A being made of corruption who takes his name from his place of creation. While to most guardians of the Shroud he would be a natural enemy anyway--this thing has taken a special and terrible shine to tormenting E'kari and all of Heartwood. His track record of terrible deeds is staggering and body count ever on the rise. His most memorable in E'kari's mind were her children, Sagu'a and Cize. The vengeful mother aided in his demise by pummeling him with special stones--from Tynos and Kaiya--she formed into barbaric gauntlets.


:● '''[[The Pumpking - NPC]]''' - This strange and otherwordly being was initially just an unsettling presence that occasionally appeared in the Heartwood halls offering bargains for steep moral prices. It was not until this squash-headed man manipulated Tustin Lafell into a contract that he became E'kari's enemy. The Seeker used excessive force against the entitiy, beating him into a puddle of black ooze. He has since returned to haunt Heartwood, though has stifled a sum of E'kari's animosity toward him by fixing her carbuncle's shattered gem and helping finish off Khash for good.

== <div style="padding:10px 15px; background:#4d0000; font-size:20px; color:#ffffff">'''Character Trivia'''</div>==
 
:■ E'kari refers to people as 'master' or 'lady' because as a young newcomer to Gridania she was hazed by the local youths; who told her that it was how non-tribal people spoke to one another. Excited to make 'friends' the Seeker picked this up almost immediately. It was not until this was an ingrained habit that she learned it was all a ruse for E'kari to make a fool of herself every time she spoke.
:■ Despite the skill not coming up particularly often, E'kari is adept at Thavnarian belly-dancing. This and many similar styles of celebratory dance were used among she and her kin in their tribal lands; though this is actually not their people's only connection to the middle east. The dress style, use of Alchemy and herbal medicines, even their taste in food has been greatly influenced by trade with Thavnair, much like many others who reside in Thanalan.
:■ E'kari will often experience an inconsolable sense of dread when E'yami is in emotional distress or danger, even if they are far apart. This link between twins seems to go both ways.
:■ Due to E'kari's heavy aspection to Earth she is notoriously difficult to knock off her feet and has immense stamina; adversely, she is not as quick as she'd like to be and swimming in deep water takes a significant amount of energy.
:■ Though most are unaware--or attribute some of her mannerisms to merely being quirky--E'kari actually suffers from high functioning autism. Social queues tend to be her biggest hurdle, along with focusing on the big picture of tasks as opposed to minut details, and sorting out painful emotions.

<div>
=== '''♦ General''' ===
<hr>
 
: (This page has recently undergone a major rework! Check it out if you want to know what has changed!)
: This overly polite and apologetic medicine-woman can often be found scuttling about making deliveries for her shop. Due to her diligent work, E'kari's Alchemist Alley has become one of the Alchemist Guild's favored subsidiaries and is frequently called upon to do business as a representative of their organization. <div>
 



=== '''♦ Appearance''' ===
<hr>
 

: E'kari is a Seeker/Keeper half-breed who carries some physical traits from her mother and father. Her eyes are narrow slit-pupils, skin pale but capable of bronzing in the sun like a Seeker; though her fur is fluffy and tail is long like a Keeper.

: This miqo'te has a snow-print mane--white with undertones if black and grey--with pale blue eyes and bangle-stripes that frame her face.

: In true mage form--E'kari can usually be found in little to no armor, even when going into battle. It slows her down in preforming martial arts and also disrupts her casting to wear anything too heavy. Instead she prefers comfortable robes or her labcoat. <div>
 



=== '''♦ History ''' ===
<hr>
 
: The parentage of E'yami and E'kari is a taboo matter. One that the Nunh of the Eft ordered upon the strictest of penalty, never to be spoken of. While their mother--E'yari--was a Seeker and one of the designated breeding females to the Nunh; their father--Sagu'a--was actually a roving Keeper who had long since left behind a subservient life with his maternal-family in the Shroud to be a traveling poet, minstrel and anthropologist. The two Miqo'te met when Sagu'a and his scholarly lalafell companion, Anabel Nack, sought a place to rest during their travels. The tribe apprehensively took the researchers in as temporary guests. In that time Sagu'a and E'yari began a secret relationship.

:When it came to light that the two had been together Sagu'a was put to death, and his body unceremoniously left to rot in the heat of the desert just outside of their territory.

: In a double blow, not only was E'yari stricken with grief, but she also discovered she was pregnant. Due to a combination of her melancholy of her lost love, the despair at what her life would be at the whims of her Nunh and complications during the birthing process--E'yari died shortly after her second kit was delivered. The last words she managed to speak before slipping away were the names of her children. Both Doman, in honor of their father who fancied the culture. Yami, meaning dark, and Hikari meaning light--though the midwives were unfamiliar with the tongue, mistaking it simply for /E/kari.

: Upon the twins' birth into the Eft--as per tradition--the clan made a ceremonial offering of their namesake to Azeyma that would determine their role in the tribe. When the flesh was melted from the bones,their appointed wise-woman had determined E'kari was to be the next shaman while E'yami's bones were an augury that she was preordained to be a great warrior.

: The Nunh was pleased by the news and demanded celebration, but found that the females of the tribe were not nearly as thrilled. Many believed that the pale-faced kits with hair of black and white were cursed; killing their mother with ill-omen. Nack took this opportunity to offer her services in raising her friends' children and providing them with education.

:The lalafell's silver tongue managed to coerce the Nunh to allow this arrangement--given he had few other options. The three were put up in a yurt close to the Nunh's own home to keep an eye on the foreigner.

: In the years that proceeded their youth, the twins were given a proper education by the professor--in between being stolen away to be taught their duties to the Eft. While Yami practiced fighting the other tribal youths, Kari was introduced to herbal medicine, burial rites and how to divinate the future with the practice of bone reading.

: Despite the twins' diligent efforts to hone their skills and fulfill thier tribal roles, they sorely lacked any sort of companionship from the other children of the Eft--having learned from their mother's to be wary of the pale-faced Seekers. Because of this, Nack took it upon herself to try and teach the girls the basic art of carbuncle summoning and passed her own Topaz and Emerald gems down to each of them.

: Demure and plagued with anxiety, E'kari was given Nicholas--Nack's Emerald carbuncle--as a therapy animal; while E'yami received Whackara--a Topaz companion who had enough spunk and energy to keep up with her. Both arcanist-pets has served the Professor faithfully since her own youth and passed without incident into the hands of their new masters.

: As the twins neared their teenage years, an odd habit of E'kari's came to light. She could often be found speaking to the streams, winds and rock-faces in the territory which the tribe found very suspicious. Some of the more superstitious members of the tribe were convinced the was speaking to the dead; the Nunh believed this was some gift from the Warden, proving his right to rule was divine.

: Knowing better than to believe any of that, Nack speculated that this was a hereditary trait, passed down from Sagu'a, who was a Hearer. Once more the professor went to the Nunh and convinced him that he should allow her to take the twins to train abroad in Gridania that they might return more powerful and capable of serving him. He agreed to the idea and within a fortnight Nack brought the girls to the Shroud.

: Once in Gridania, E'kari joined the Conjurer's Guild as a student while E'yami sought training in both lance and bow.

: Though eager to make new friends the Seeker found this was easier said than done. The high populous of Hyur and Elezen looked condescendingly upon the tribal girls. It was not out of the ordinary for the more crude classmates to inquire if her parents were cousins. This trouble fitting in was compounded by the fact she didn't seem to learn at the same rate as everyone else. E'kari would often focus on small details of things, so much so that she could not intake an entire lesson. A classroom setting did her little credit, but during her free moments she would visit the Everschade and commune with the Elementals.

: On one such visit, a strong wind blew a small branch down from the great tree; which, E'kari took and mended with magic that it might be used as a crook.

: Due to her natural affinity for the forest and her difficulty with conventional methods of learning she was taken as a personal apprentice to Master E-Sumi-Yan, a patient Padjal who specialized in the guidance of Hearers. Discovering the trick seemed to be hands-on learning, he took every opportunity to have the Seeker accompany him while he worked. E'kari improved quickly under his tutelage, able to stand as a conjurer in her own right.

: Near the end of the girl's time abroad, the Seventh Umbral Calamity struck. With her guild called to act as medics on the field, the twins soon found themselves on the heels of disaster for the duration of the event. E'kari and her classmates followed the guildmasters into the chaos, assisting those who had been wounded or fallen. E'yami acted as E'kari's personal guard as she preformed field surgeries and magical healing. The two witnessed death up close on more than one occasion, finding themselves changed by the end of it all.

: After all was said and done, the girls' respective masters deemed them both students no longer. And while this was a sweet taste, it was also made bitter by the memories of carnage that now haunted them both.

: The twins returned to their desert territory as heroines who represented their tribe with valor and courage. The Nunh held festivities long into the night.It seemed as though they'd finally been accepted, but neither seemed particularly content with staying within the territory any more--not after all they had been through. Together E'yami and E'kari traveled to the Shrine of the Warden, offering an Eft in a pyre for guidance. When the flesh had melted from the bones, Azeyma's will bid they must go--for they had more to do out in the world. E'kari shared this edict with their people and with heavy hearts, they left again to find and fulfill their duties elsewhere until the time the Warden calls for them to return.

=== '''♦ Behavior ''' ===

 

: E'kari has a hard time learning in a conventional sense often requires an exceedingly patient teacher in order to have any real success. However once she does learn something--or is preforming a task she excels in--she is hard-pressed to be outshined.

: While still generally being good natured and apologetic, in combat E'kari is capable of being a formidable opponent. Being a conjurer she will often take the role of a healer, but her connection to the Elementals has also allowed to take a unique approach to martial arts. The Seeker will often harden a stone skin over her hands and feet while delivering blows, or using gales of wind to enhance her movement speed. She has named her self-made fighting style, "The Golem Step" which emphasizes momentum and fluidity. (Much of her techniques in form are inspired by real world Zui Quan)

: Despite her obvious shortcomings, E'kari is a very hopeful person and goes into every situation with optimism for success, even if she has failed at the task a hundred times before. Sometimes it's the hundred and first try that brings success.

: ● '''[[E'yami Amane]]''' - E'kari's protective fraternal twin sister, older by 7 minutes. E'yami has always been a strong source of strength, comfort and adventure as the two have grown. Though she has a very tomboyish and wears tough outer shell, E'kari knows that her sister is actually very caring and sensitive--always putting the needs of others before herself; and that is what makes her E'kari's hero.

: 💑 '''[[Vektis Sol]]''' - E'kari's boisterous, free-spirited and loveable husband. When they first met she admired his self confidence--often shyly observing him kicking down doors to shout his own name at people. There are few in the world who can raise E'kari's spirits like Vektis can. The two became close friends and then a couple shortly there after. Though many people see his behavior as a nuisance, E'kari celebrates her husband's off-beat mannerisms--unless of course they prove to be dangerous. She loves him to the end of the world and back. The two are married and have two young children together. "Yes, you have been informed correctly. Vektis is, indeed, the bestest." - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[E'kira Sol]]''' - The young daughter of Vektis and E'kari, making her a mixed breed Keeper/Seeker. Regardless of whatever situation she's in, E'kira tends to maintain a positive attitude. While Kira can be uncomfortably blunt as well as a bit bossy, she also has a fair mind and good natured heart. She cares immensely about her friends and is always striving to make more. This kitten has two dreams: to be a Dragoon and a Gryphon tamer.

: ● '''[[Maxwell Sol]]''' - Born to the Eft tribe--to the name E'rhaja Tia--and orphaned after his sire was defeated and overthrown by another male. E'kari picked up the kitten; she felt a kinship with him for their similar origins. Upon his arrival at Heartwood to the Sol family he was renamed by Vektis and E'kari so he might grow up feeling like he belonged. E’kari does not plan to inform him of his true parentage until he reaches adulthood. Now seven summers old, Max is shy, polite and thoughtful. Especially fond of tinkering with small shiny objects and collecting beads, rocks and shells. He has an exceptionally bright mind for a boy his age, though is often roped into his younger sister’s schemes.

: ● '''[[Nicholas Nack- Carbuncle]]''' - The ever-present summoned companion of E'kari. This carbuncle has been with E'kari throughout the Seeker's entire life as a sort of therapy animal, helping to keep her anxiety in check. With a gem layered with complex geometries: Anabel Nack made it so he and his sister creation--Whackara--could form memories; and with that, personalities. Nick is generally gentle and quiet, with a keen ability to sense people's emotional needs. As such, he tends to gravitate to people whom he suspects need comfort. Nick is aware of his own artificial intellegence and often grapples with his place in the world, as well as the loneliness that comes from his own existence. "Ploo!" - Nick

: ● '''[[Anabel Nack]]''' - Author, scientist, surgeon and parent. This quirky and frightening alchemist is the adopted mother of E'yami and E'kari. Nanabel Nabel by birth, she almost always goes by her pen-name "A.B. 'Nack'". Though her child rearing methods were always questionable at best, the most indisputable fact of it all is that Nack loves both of her girls very much. She is not above employing dark methods to ensure this mad-scientist keeps her loved ones safe. This lalafell's haunting laughter was picked up by E'kari as she was growing up. "Kuhuhuh....." - Anabel Nack

: ● '''[[Conrad Steelsong]]''' - This initially frighteningly large Ala Mhigan is actually the godparent of E'kari and Vektis' young daughter, E'kira. The four of them, as well as No'Ulla Khilik, all take up residence in the same house in the Mist. Conrad has obviously weathered the storm of many conflicts that have hardened his exterior. Despite his gruff demeanor, E'kari finds him to be a wonderful person and the closest thing to a father she's ever known.

: ● '''[[No'Ulla Khilik]]''' - The Ala Mhigan-weaver wife of Conrad Steelsong. She has recently returned from apprenticing in Ishgard to live with the Solsong household. E'kari finds her to be a skilled craftswoman and never tires of hearing about Ulla's special technique of Spell-Weaving. Ulla is a welcome addition to the family--E'kari just hopes that Vektis doesn't scare their new friend off with nonsensical antics.

: ● '''[[Nyscera Alarone]]''' - This mistress of shadowy death is a close friend of the twins' adopted mother. She is considered an aunt to E'kari and E'yami. Early on in E'kari stay at Heartwood, the dragon-riding assassin took E'kari, Bennett and Snowy in as pupils for physical and mental training. While it was grueling and at times crushing, E'kari owes her martial arts ability solely to these lessons. Nyscera taught E'kari the value of teamwork and also her how to be unphased by negative elements in her life.

: ● '''[[Rath Alarone]]''' - Nyscera's aloof husband--and by proxy--the twins' uncle. This applesauce-loving dark knight is the one that hired E'kari to work as the company alchemist--in no small part to do with the potent pain killers she was able to make for him after a fight that nearly ended in his death. He always seems have a joke lined up, even in the most bleak of situations.

: ● '''[[Bennett Cooper]]''' - E'kari's teammate and--since his adoption by Rath and Nyscera Alarone--cousin of sorts. E'kari sees Bennett as the shining future of their free company. While he makes mistakes and has a ways to go before he can truly master any of his arsenal of weapons, E'kari firmly believes this young boy is going to do great things. Could young Master Bennett be a something more than the average fighter...? "Cooper is Super..!" - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[E'vehlke Sohj]]''' - The maternal cousin of E'kari and E'yami. Vehlke is a fearless warrior with a strange accent. As she is a full blood Seeker of the Eft tribe, E'vehlke shares a striking resemblance to the twins' deceased mother.

: ● '''[[Sokhatai Borlaaq]]''' - This huntress is the wife of E'vehlke Sohj. She has a very specific way of talking. E'kari onced picked her brain about adventure and Au'Ra culture. She finds her delightful!

: ● '''[[Reina Sol]]''' - E'kari's half Keeper half Raen sister-in-law. She is the first person from Heartwood that the twins ever met, quickly taking the girls under her wing and giving them a place to stay. It was because of Reina that E'kari met Vektis. E'kari admires Reina as a strong and together person.

: ● '''[[Snowy Sol]]''' - E'kari's full miqo'te sister-in-law. Even before the two were related by marriage, E'kari has had a definite soft spot for this girl-genius in her heart. The two worked together in the clinic for some time, rather closely. In one occasion the two preformed life saving surgery on Vektis. E'kari's only qualm is that she fears this teen might be too relaxed about the dangerous world around her at times--but maybe that's just the anxiety talking.

: ● '''[[Xihvi'ir Valathri]]''' - Xihvi'ir, or 'Ashy' as the others have taken to calling him, is a kindly harp-player that has come into the service of Heartwood. Though E'kari doesn't know of his personal dealings in any intricate regard--other than his past as a gambler--she knows she can trust his character, as he is well loved by Nick. The Keeper has always loaned a helping hand to the company whenever a need arose, for that E'kari finds herself very grateful to her new friend. Though she doesn't know it yet, the two share an unexpected bond in blood.

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#4d0000; font-size:14px; color:#FFFFFF">Friends </div><div style="border:0px solid; padding:8px"> ===

: ● '''[[Sakeru Wakeru]]''' – This unsuspecting looking delivery boy has a dark past under the surface. A time ago, Sakeru divulged a portion of his history to E'kari and a few others. Oddly enough, she ended up trusting him more after learning he was a trained assassin. She was quite sad to see him leave for a time, but was much overjoyed at his return. Wherever this lalafell goes two things are a certain: death and dinner. "Did I leave the oven on..?" - Sakeru Wakeru

: ● '''[[Tustin Lafell]]''' - The first moment E'kari saw this lalafell he was being arrested on the free company lawn for the attempted armed robbery. Later when he returned to make his peace with Heartwood the two met and over time became close companions. Tustin's street-savvy, wild and hot-headed demeanor contrasts E'kari's bookish, nervous, awkwardness in a very positive way. This Dunesfolk left Heartwood some time ago to make something of himself out in the world. Since then he has begun studying medicine. He remains, to this day, one of E'kari's most treasured and beloved friends. "I'm not cute! I'm manly as hell!" - Tustin Lafell

: ● '''[[Tynos Riller]]''' - This towering black mage initially greatly frightened E'kari upon their first meeting. Perhaps it was his scar, his serious expression or his sheer size--regardless, she now knows him as a very kind-hearted and family oriented leader. He sacrifices much of himself to keep Heartwood's members safe--and frankly--works too hard. It would be a shock to find him away from the clinic for longer than a month. It's safe to say, E'kari's pharmacy has a special 'Tynos Budget' for the small fortune it takes to keep this misfortune prone Elezen on his feet. "My goodness..! Hurt again, Master Tynos...?" - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[Cioccolato Stella]]''' - Cioccolato, or Lady Cio as E'kari calls her, works as a nurse and aspiring doctor for Heartwood. This charming and kind healer can often be seen sporting pastel colors and traveling around in the company of her Demon Brick, Cenere, which is a close friend of Max. E'kari has always been very fond of this miqo'te since her arrival and is one of the few she trusts to care for Kira and Max in her absence.

: ● '''[[Kaiya Ailbhe]]''' - The librarian, chief of medicine and over-all brains of Heartwood. E'kari admires the patience of this woman but also feels horribly guilty that the actions of her free company have driven Kaiya to take up smoking. Occasionally E'kari will bring Kaiya cinnamon sticks en masse as an attempt to give her something roughly cigarette shaped to hold and suck on. It is unknown if Doctor Ailhbe actually enjoys these or if she is merely humoring E'kari. Hopefully at the very least she is not being driven to smoke those as well...

: ● '''[[Zana Amaro]]''' - An aloof gunslinger and self proclaimed alley-cat. Despite being told not to, E'kari still insists on respectfully referring to this miqo'te as Lady Zana. When this woman is armed and in a foul mood . . . heaven help her target. E'kari has seen Zana rip a man's arm clean off. However Zana does also have a soft side. When E'kari was gravely injured in an attempt on her life, Zana stationed herself in the clinic to watch over her.

: ● '''[[Narumi Kotokaze]]''' - More commonly referred to as "Kota". E'kari met this Maelstrom affiliated bounty hunter on the road when she was set upon by highwaymen--which Kota easily dispatched. Since then the Raen has been promoted to first lieutenant of the Storm-guard and assigned to work as the handler of the former pirate Skyfwyb. The officer comissions her medicine from E'kari's "Alchemist's Alley".

:● '''[[Skyfwyb Aergankawyn]]''' - E'kari was not fond of this woman in the start. The monsterous Seawolf had committed crimes against Heartwood on numerous occasions. E'kari was glad to hear of her sting and arrest by the Maelstrom. In the time that has followed, however, the curt and belligerent captain seems to have changed her ways to some extent. E'kari now views her slightly more favorably after having witnessed Skyfwyb's capacity to care genuinely for another person. It was also by the aid of this former pirate that the Solsong household was able to cross the sea to the east. As it stands now they are friends.

: ● '''[[Moralee Relen]]''' - Known to E'kari as "Mordry". This Au'Ra woman is rather complex for many reasons. Regardless E'kari cares greatly about Moralee and Mora in equal measure--although Mordry's "Moralee-half" is more familiar to her. Some time ago Mordry required E'kari's help with a somewhat risky task. This evoked the ire of her usually perpetually cheerful husband. Vektis has yet to forgive Mordry to this day, which fills the Seeker with guilt and remorse. However, because of that mission, E'kari learned how to brew a special and ancient potion she dubbed, "The Draught of the Dreamwalker".

: ● '''[[Neville Synch]]''' - This good natured marksman is the mate of Zana Amaro and the best friend of E'yami Amane. Over the period she has known him, this man has done a lot for E'kari's family which she could never repay. Though she does not know him too well personally she trusts him fully regardless. She always gets a chuckle out of the banter between Neville and Vektis.

: ● '''[[Vahn Quietfury]]''' - A sweet little boy with a curious connection to an elder dragon. E'kari first met the half lalafell on a caravan mission that was attacked. In the absence of his own mother, the Seeker would often look after Vahn when his father was away. One day when Vahn was playing with some of the other boys in the company yard he exhibited dangerous abilities. He and his father were sent away for the potential danger they posed. E'kari still loves Vahn like a son.

: ● '''[[Brandon Stormstrider]]''' - The Hyur father of Vahn Quietfury. E'kari met Brandon a short time after Vahn. The two became close friends, as the miqo'te was one of the few Heartwood members Brandon trusted. She would often do simple favors for the father and son to make their lives easier such as cleaning or bringing home pineapples. Upon their leaving to a new safehaven the Seeker found herself deeply saddend, however Brandon still sneaks over to the company on occasion. Brandon has placed E'kari under the protection of his men known only as "The Rogues".

: ● '''[[Enkhjargal Dalamiq]]''' - This stoic summoner is actually E'kari's master. He took her under his wing when she first arrived to Heartwood and had to terrorize her into being able to use her magic for anything beyond healing. His methods worked and looking back, E'kari owes him all of the strength she possesses now. Beyond that, she thinks he is a wonderful person who has natural ability with children. Who knew!

: ● '''[[Camille Everardi]]''' - Camille is Enkhjargal Dalamiq's wife and a talented mage, among many other things. E'kari has seen Camille fight in more than one way in the past with spars. She found this woman to be a strong female rolemodel for her in the past when she was just learning to fight--and still looks up to her to this day. E'kari couldn't be happier that her master and friend found happiness in each other's company.

: ● '''[[Chokho Viqqoh]]''' - A fierce, fiery and loyal amnesiac-Keeper who recently joined Heartwood. Since her arrival, Chokho and E'kari have become fast friends; bonding over their shared love of martial arts and string instruments. Though the two differ greatly in temperament and personality they have a shared respect for one another.

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#4d0000;font-size:14px;color:#FFFFFF;">Acquaintances</div><div style="border:0px solid; padding:8px">===

: ● '''[[Dead Willow]]''' - This Gyr Abanian born Hellsguard was Vektis’ teacher while he studied Red Magic. While possessing the—not uncommon—gruff demeanor of a pit fighter, Willow has also expressed true care and kindness toward her apprentice and his family. E’kari has come to respect Willow a great deal, so much so that she’s offered the Roegadyn a teaching position at her school upon its completion. 

:● '''[[Nevrynn Alarone]]''' - While E'kari initially mistrusted the Seeker for his roguish persona and wanderlust, in resent months she has come to warm up to her sister's mate. Though she may not know him as well as she might like, he makes her sister happy. And the affection between the two are plain to see.

: ● '''[[Jake Jakkya]]''' - A red-lenses wearing void-mage who has spent a great deal of his life as a pit fighter. This spellsword is particularly close to E'kari's adopted mother, Nack, which makes him a brother of sorts. E'kari sorely wishes he would be less devil-may-care in demeanor at times, or at least care a bit more about his own life. She's always pleased when he pops up unharmed now and again. This former criminal has been blacklisted from Heartwood for his criminal debts to the Syndicate--though he has since paid them back in full, becoming an ally to the group.

: ● '''[[Ash Valken]]''' - The tall, brooding brother of Nyscera who has a strong dislike for Rath. E'kari met this former bandit spying on her a few times. Eventually the two had a sit-down conversation and became close--which was a new thing for the Au'Ra. E'kari taught Ash how to play a grasswhistle, fixed his broken hearing-aid and engaged in a playful spar. Somehow, in one way or another, most of their interactions end in awkward sexual-tension. The day Ash left Heartwood, E'kari gave him a necklace made from a strap of her doctor's bag to remember her by and encouraged him to follow his dreams.

: ● '''[[Akiyuki Okuma]]''' - The large, quiet, but overall pleasant husband of Cio who has joined Heartwood since his marriage to the plucky, pastel nursemaid. This reserved Au'Ra is a welcome addition to the family.

: ● '''[[Kenoni Eien’no]]''' - The betrothed of her friend Moralee. A stern and stoic acquaintance but never the less, E'kari admires his loyalty and commitment to Mordry. She hopes the two will have a wonderful life together with their child.

: ● '''[[J'edite Shedai]]''' - A fellow enthusiast of martial arts that spends most of her time roaming Thanalan seeking glory for the Jackal tribe. The two have had run-ins here and there as J'edite was on hunts and once sparred under the Sultan tree. The Seekers employ very different styles of their own making: while E'kari fights with her heavy handed "Golem Step" ideal for doing battle with armed and armored foes; J'edite uses fast kicks transitioning into fluid jabs in her "Fire Dancer" style that proves to be the bane of slower opponents. As it stands the two are friendly rivals.

: ● '''[[Alpon Adpon]]''' - The Pink Punisher! E'kari has met this "battle-chef" in passing more than once. The lalafell's skill in combat seems to rival his culinary prowess.

: ● '''[[Namaka Ebisu]]''' - A strange and sweet water-sprite who lives in a fountain. You want tree slugs? Because this is how you get tree slugs.

: ● '''[[Alistar Stormfist]]''' - Found by Heartwood on the road to Little Ala Mhigo, this former Garlean slave was near death and wearing a magitek collar. With no where else to go and no life to return to, this gentle giant returned with the caravan to the Heartwood Homestead.

: ● '''[[Lucinda Kovix]]''' - This kindly and capable, Ishgardian drifter met Doctor Sol as she was returning from conversing with the Everschade and her husband's chocobo ran off. Lucinda and E'kari worked together to catch the bird and got to talking about Lucy's need for work and also to find her missing brother. The Miqo'te has since come to stay at Heartwood which has overjoyed E'kari.

: ● '''[[L'nela Varya]]''' - A one-eyed woman who really enjoys taking a bite out of life! In all seriousness--L'nela is a chipper and quirky person. A little emotional at times, but rightfully so; as her recent years have been filled with trauma. Both physical and emotional. Careful, she likes to nibble!
 

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#4d0000;font-size:14px;color:#FFFFFF;">Disliked</div><div style="border:0px solid; padding:8px">===

:● '''[[Tharl Oom Khash - NPC]]''' - A being made of corruption who takes his name from his place of creation. While to most guardians of the Shroud he would be a natural enemy anyway--this thing has taken a special and terrible shine to tormenting E'kari and all of Heartwood. His track record of terrible deeds is staggering and body count ever on the rise. His most memorable in E'kari's mind were her children, Sagu'a and Cize. The vengeful mother aided in his demise by pummeling him with special stones--from Tynos and Kaiya--she formed into barbaric gauntlets.


:● '''[[The Pumpking - NPC]]''' - This strange and otherwordly being was initially just an unsettling presence that occasionally appeared in the Heartwood halls offering bargains for steep moral prices. It was not until this squash-headed man manipulated Tustin Lafell into a contract that he became E'kari's enemy. The Seeker used excessive force against the entitiy, beating him into a puddle of black ooze. He has since returned to haunt Heartwood, though has stifled a sum of E'kari's animosity toward him by fixing her carbuncle's shattered gem and helping finish off Khash for good.

== <div style="padding:10px 15px; background:#4d0000; font-size:20px; color:#ffffff">'''Character Trivia'''</div>==
 
:■ E'kari refers to people as 'master' or 'lady' because as a young newcomer to Gridania she was hazed by the local youths; who told her that it was how non-tribal people spoke to one another. Excited to make 'friends' the Seeker picked this up almost immediately. It was not until this was an ingrained habit that she learned it was all a ruse for E'kari to make a fool of herself every time she spoke.
:■ Despite the skill not coming up particularly often, E'kari is adept at Thavnarian belly-dancing. This and many similar styles of celebratory dance were used among she and her kin in their tribal lands; though this is actually not their people's only connection to the middle east. The dress style, use of Alchemy and herbal medicines, even their taste in food has been greatly influenced by trade with Thavnair, much like many others who reside in Thanalan.
:■ E'kari will often experience an inconsolable sense of dread when E'yami is in emotional distress or danger, even if they are far apart. This link between twins seems to go both ways.
:■ Due to E'kari's heavy aspection to Earth she is notoriously difficult to knock off her feet and has immense stamina; adversely, she is not as quick as she'd like to be and swimming in deep water takes a significant amount of energy.
:■ Though most are unaware--or attribute some of her mannerisms to merely being quirky--E'kari actually suffers from high functioning autism. Social queues tend to be her biggest hurdle, along with focusing on the big picture of tasks as opposed to minut details, and sorting out painful emotions.

<div>
=== '''♦ General''' ===
<hr>
 
: (This page has recently undergone a major rework! Check it out if you want to know what has changed!)
: This overly polite and apologetic medicine-woman can often be found scuttling about making deliveries for her shop. Due to her diligent work, E'kari's Alchemist Alley has become one of the Alchemist Guild's favored subsidiaries and is frequently called upon to do business as a representative of their organization. <div>
 



=== '''♦ Appearance''' ===
<hr>
 

: E'kari is a Seeker/Keeper half-breed who carries some physical traits from her mother and father. Her eyes are narrow slit-pupils, skin pale but capable of bronzing in the sun like a Seeker; though her fur is fluffy and tail is long like a Keeper.

: This miqo'te has a snow-print mane--white with undertones if black and grey--with pale blue eyes and bangle-stripes that frame her face.

: In true mage form--E'kari can usually be found in little to no armor, even when going into battle. It slows her down in preforming martial arts and also disrupts her casting to wear anything too heavy. Instead she prefers comfortable robes or her labcoat. <div>
 



=== '''♦ History ''' ===
<hr>
 
: The parentage of E'yami and E'kari is a taboo matter. One that the Nunh of the Eft ordered upon the strictest of penalty, never to be spoken of. While their mother--E'yari--was a Seeker and one of the designated breeding females to the Nunh; their father--Sagu'a--was actually a roving Keeper who had long since left behind a subservient life with his maternal-family in the Shroud to be a traveling poet, minstrel and anthropologist. The two Miqo'te met when Sagu'a and his scholarly lalafell companion, Anabel Nack, sought a place to rest during their travels. The tribe apprehensively took the researchers in as temporary guests. In that time Sagu'a and E'yari began a secret relationship.

:When it came to light that the two had been together Sagu'a was put to death, and his body unceremoniously left to rot in the heat of the desert just outside of their territory.

: In a double blow, not only was E'yari stricken with grief, but she also discovered she was pregnant. Due to a combination of her melancholy of her lost love, the despair at what her life would be at the whims of her Nunh and complications during the birthing process--E'yari died shortly after her second kit was delivered. The last words she managed to speak before slipping away were the names of her children. Both Doman, in honor of their father who fancied the culture. Yami, meaning dark, and Hikari meaning light--though the midwives were unfamiliar with the tongue, mistaking it simply for /E/kari.

: Upon the twins' birth into the Eft--as per tradition--the clan made a ceremonial offering of their namesake to Azeyma that would determine their role in the tribe. When the flesh was melted from the bones,their appointed wise-woman had determined E'kari was to be the next shaman while E'yami's bones were an augury that she was preordained to be a great warrior.

: The Nunh was pleased by the news and demanded celebration, but found that the females of the tribe were not nearly as thrilled. Many believed that the pale-faced kits with hair of black and white were cursed; killing their mother with ill-omen. Nack took this opportunity to offer her services in raising her friends' children and providing them with education.

:The lalafell's silver tongue managed to coerce the Nunh to allow this arrangement--given he had few other options. The three were put up in a yurt close to the Nunh's own home to keep an eye on the foreigner.

: In the years that proceeded their youth, the twins were given a proper education by the professor--in between being stolen away to be taught their duties to the Eft. While Yami practiced fighting the other tribal youths, Kari was introduced to herbal medicine, burial rites and how to divinate the future with the practice of bone reading.

: Despite the twins' diligent efforts to hone their skills and fulfill thier tribal roles, they sorely lacked any sort of companionship from the other children of the Eft--having learned from their mother's to be wary of the pale-faced Seekers. Because of this, Nack took it upon herself to try and teach the girls the basic art of carbuncle summoning and passed her own Topaz and Emerald gems down to each of them.

: Demure and plagued with anxiety, E'kari was given Nicholas--Nack's Emerald carbuncle--as a therapy animal; while E'yami received Whackara--a Topaz companion who had enough spunk and energy to keep up with her. Both arcanist-pets has served the Professor faithfully since her own youth and passed without incident into the hands of their new masters.

: As the twins neared their teenage years, an odd habit of E'kari's came to light. She could often be found speaking to the streams, winds and rock-faces in the territory which the tribe found very suspicious. Some of the more superstitious members of the tribe were convinced the was speaking to the dead; the Nunh believed this was some gift from the Warden, proving his right to rule was divine.

: Knowing better than to believe any of that, Nack speculated that this was a hereditary trait, passed down from Sagu'a, who was a Hearer. Once more the professor went to the Nunh and convinced him that he should allow her to take the twins to train abroad in Gridania that they might return more powerful and capable of serving him. He agreed to the idea and within a fortnight Nack brought the girls to the Shroud.

: Once in Gridania, E'kari joined the Conjurer's Guild as a student while E'yami sought training in both lance and bow.

: Though eager to make new friends the Seeker found this was easier said than done. The high populous of Hyur and Elezen looked condescendingly upon the tribal girls. It was not out of the ordinary for the more crude classmates to inquire if her parents were cousins. This trouble fitting in was compounded by the fact she didn't seem to learn at the same rate as everyone else. E'kari would often focus on small details of things, so much so that she could not intake an entire lesson. A classroom setting did her little credit, but during her free moments she would visit the Everschade and commune with the Elementals.

: On one such visit, a strong wind blew a small branch down from the great tree; which, E'kari took and mended with magic that it might be used as a crook.

: Due to her natural affinity for the forest and her difficulty with conventional methods of learning she was taken as a personal apprentice to Master E-Sumi-Yan, a patient Padjal who specialized in the guidance of Hearers. Discovering the trick seemed to be hands-on learning, he took every opportunity to have the Seeker accompany him while he worked. E'kari improved quickly under his tutelage, able to stand as a conjurer in her own right.

: Near the end of the girl's time abroad, the Seventh Umbral Calamity struck. With her guild called to act as medics on the field, the twins soon found themselves on the heels of disaster for the duration of the event. E'kari and her classmates followed the guildmasters into the chaos, assisting those who had been wounded or fallen. E'yami acted as E'kari's personal guard as she preformed field surgeries and magical healing. The two witnessed death up close on more than one occasion, finding themselves changed by the end of it all.

: After all was said and done, the girls' respective masters deemed them both students no longer. And while this was a sweet taste, it was also made bitter by the memories of carnage that now haunted them both.

: The twins returned to their desert territory as heroines who represented their tribe with valor and courage. The Nunh held festivities long into the night.It seemed as though they'd finally been accepted, but neither seemed particularly content with staying within the territory any more--not after all they had been through. Together E'yami and E'kari traveled to the Shrine of the Warden, offering an Eft in a pyre for guidance. When the flesh had melted from the bones, Azeyma's will bid they must go--for they had more to do out in the world. E'kari shared this edict with their people and with heavy hearts, they left again to find and fulfill their duties elsewhere until the time the Warden calls for them to return.

=== '''♦ Behavior ''' ===

 

: E'kari has a hard time learning in a conventional sense often requires an exceedingly patient teacher in order to have any real success. However once she does learn something--or is preforming a task she excels in--she is hard-pressed to be outshined.

: While still generally being good natured and apologetic, in combat E'kari is capable of being a formidable opponent. Being a conjurer she will often take the role of a healer, but her connection to the Elementals has also allowed to take a unique approach to martial arts. The Seeker will often harden a stone skin over her hands and feet while delivering blows, or using gales of wind to enhance her movement speed. She has named her self-made fighting style, "The Golem Step" which emphasizes momentum and fluidity. (Much of her techniques in form are inspired by real world Zui Quan)

: Despite her obvious shortcomings, E'kari is a very hopeful person and goes into every situation with optimism for success, even if she has failed at the task a hundred times before. Sometimes it's the hundred and first try that brings success.

: ● '''[[E'yami Amane]]''' - E'kari's protective fraternal twin sister, older by 7 minutes. E'yami has always been a strong source of strength, comfort and adventure as the two have grown. Though she has a very tomboyish and wears tough outer shell, E'kari knows that her sister is actually very caring and sensitive--always putting the needs of others before herself; and that is what makes her E'kari's hero.

: 💑 '''[[Vektis Sol]]''' - E'kari's boisterous, free-spirited and loveable husband. When they first met she admired his self confidence--often shyly observing him kicking down doors to shout his own name at people. There are few in the world who can raise E'kari's spirits like Vektis can. The two became close friends and then a couple shortly there after. Though many people see his behavior as a nuisance, E'kari celebrates her husband's off-beat mannerisms--unless of course they prove to be dangerous. She loves him to the end of the world and back. The two are married and have two young children together. "Yes, you have been informed correctly. Vektis is, indeed, the bestest." - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[E'kira Sol]]''' - The young daughter of Vektis and E'kari, making her a mixed breed Keeper/Seeker. Regardless of whatever situation she's in, E'kira tends to maintain a positive attitude. While Kira can be uncomfortably blunt as well as a bit bossy, she also has an exceptionally fair mind and good natured heart. She cares immensely about her friends and is always striving to make more. This kitten has two dreams: to be a Dragoon and a Gryphon tamer.

: ● '''[[Maxwell Sol]]''' - Born to the Eft tribe--to the name E'rhaja Tia--and orphaned after his sire was defeated and overthrown by another male. E'kari picked up the kitten; she felt a kinship with him for their similar origins. Upon his arrival at Heartwood to the Sol family he was renamed by Vektis and E'kari so he might grow up feeling like he belonged. Now three cycles old, Max is shy, polite and thoughtful. Especially fond of tinkering with small shiny objects and collecting beads, rocks and shells. He has an exceptionally bright mind for a boy his age.

: ● '''[[Nicholas Nack- NPC]]''' - The ever-present summoned companion of E'kari. This carbuncle has been with E'kari throughout the Seeker's entire life as a sort of therapy animal, helping to keep her anxiety in check. With a gem layered with complex geometries: Anabel Nack made it so he and his sister creation--Whackara--could form memories; and with that, personalities. Nick is generally gentle and quiet, with a keen ability to sense people's emotional needs. As such, he tends to gravitate to people whom he suspects need comfort. Nick is aware of his own artificial intellegence and often grapples with his place in the world, as well as the loneliness that comes from his own existence. "Ploo!" - Nick

: ● '''[[Anabel Nack]]''' - Author, scientist, surgeon and parent. This quirky and frightening alchemist is the adopted mother of E'yami and E'kari. Nanabel Nabel by birth, she almost always goes by her pen-name "A.B. 'Nack'". Though her child rearing methods were always questionable at best, the most indisputable fact of it all is that Nack loves both of her girls very much. She is not above employing dark methods to ensure this mad-scientist keeps her loved ones safe. This lalafell's haunting laughter was picked up by E'kari as she was growing up. "Kuhuhuh....." - Anabel Nack

: ● '''[[Conrad Steelsong]]''' - This initially frighteningly large Ala Mhigan is actually the godparent of E'kari and Vektis' young daughter, E'kira. The four of them, as well as No'Ulla Khilik, all take up residence in the same house in the Mist. Conrad has obviously weathered the storm of many conflicts that have hardened his exterior. Despite his gruff demeanor, E'kari finds him to be a wonderful person and the closest thing to a father she's ever known.

: ● '''[[No'Ulla Khilik]]''' - The Ala Mhigan-weaver wife of Conrad Steelsong. She has recently returned from apprenticing in Ishgard to live with the Solsong household. E'kari finds her to be a skilled craftswoman and never tires of hearing about Ulla's special technique of Spell-Weaving. Ulla is a welcome addition to the family--E'kari just hopes that Vektis doesn't scare their new friend off with nonsensical antics.

: ● '''[[Nyscera Alarone]]''' - This mistress of shadowy death is a close friend of the twins' adopted mother. She is considered an aunt to E'kari and E'yami. Early on in E'kari stay at Heartwood, the dragon-riding assassin took E'kari, Bennett and Snowy in as pupils for physical and mental training. While it was grueling and at times crushing, E'kari owes her martial arts ability solely to these lessons. Nyscera taught E'kari the value of teamwork and also her how to be unphased by negative elements in her life.

: ● '''[[Rath Alarone]]''' - Nyscera's aloof husband--and by proxy--the twins' uncle. This applesauce-loving dark knight is the one that hired E'kari to work as the company alchemist--in no small part to do with the potent pain killers she was able to make for him after a fight that nearly ended in his death. He always seems have a joke lined up, even in the most bleak of situations.

: ● '''[[Bennett Cooper]]''' - E'kari's teammate and--since his adoption by Rath and Nyscera Alarone--cousin of sorts. E'kari sees Bennett as the shining future of their free company. While he makes mistakes and has a ways to go before he can truly master any of his arsenal of weapons, E'kari firmly believes this young boy is going to do great things. Could young Master Bennett be a something more than the average fighter...? "Cooper is Super..!" - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[E'vehlke Sohj]]''' - The maternal cousin of E'kari and E'yami. Vehlke is a fearless warrior with a strange accent. As she is a full blood Seeker of the Eft tribe, E'vehlke shares a striking resemblance to the twins' deceased mother.

: ● '''[[Sokhatai Borlaaq]]''' - This huntress is the wife of E'vehlke Sohj. She has a very specific way of talking. E'kari onced picked her brain about adventure and Au'Ra culture. She finds her delightful!

: ● '''[[Reina Sol]]''' - E'kari's half Keeper half Raen sister-in-law. She is the first person from Heartwood that the twins ever met, quickly taking the girls under her wing and giving them a place to stay. It was because of Reina that E'kari met Vektis. E'kari admires Reina as a strong and together person.

: ● '''[[Snowy Sol]]''' - E'kari's full miqo'te sister-in-law. Even before the two were related by marriage, E'kari has had a definite soft spot for this girl-genius in her heart. The two worked together in the clinic for some time, rather closely. In one occasion the two preformed life saving surgery on Vektis. E'kari's only qualm is that she fears this teen might be too relaxed about the dangerous world around her at times--but maybe that's just the anxiety talking.

: ● '''[[Xihvi'ir Valathri]]''' - Xihvi'ir, or 'Ashy' as the others have taken to calling him, is a kindly harp-player that has come into the service of Heartwood. Though E'kari doesn't know of his personal dealings in any intricate regard--other than his past as a gambler--she knows she can trust his character, as he is well loved by Nick. The Keeper has always loaned a helping hand to the company whenever a need arose, for that E'kari finds herself very grateful to her new friend. Though she doesn't know it yet, the two share an unexpected bond in blood.

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#4d0000; font-size:14px; color:#FFFFFF">Friends </div><div style="border:0px solid; padding:8px"> ===

: ● '''[[Sakeru Wakeru]]''' – This unsuspecting looking delivery boy has a dark past under the surface. A time ago, Sakeru divulged a portion of his history to E'kari and a few others. Oddly enough, she ended up trusting him more after learning he was a trained assassin. She was quite sad to see him leave for a time, but was much overjoyed at his return. Wherever this lalafell goes two things are a certain: death and dinner. "Did I leave the oven on..?" - Sakeru Wakeru

: ● '''[[Tustin Lafell]]''' - The first moment E'kari saw this lalafell he was being arrested on the free company lawn for the attempted armed robbery. Later when he returned to make his peace with Heartwood the two met and over time became close companions. Tustin's street-savvy, wild and hot-headed demeanor contrasts E'kari's bookish, nervous, awkwardness in a very positive way. This Dunesfolk left Heartwood some time ago to make something of himself out in the world. Since then he has begun studying medicine. He remains, to this day, one of E'kari's most treasured and beloved friends. "I'm not cute! I'm manly as hell!" - Tustin Lafell

: ● '''[[Tynos Riller]]''' - This towering black mage initially greatly frightened E'kari upon their first meeting. Perhaps it was his scar, his serious expression or his sheer size--regardless, she now knows him as a very kind-hearted and family oriented leader. He sacrifices much of himself to keep Heartwood's members safe--and frankly--works too hard. It would be a shock to find him away from the clinic for longer than a month. It's safe to say, E'kari's pharmacy has a special 'Tynos Budget' for the small fortune it takes to keep this misfortune prone Elezen on his feet. "My goodness..! Hurt again, Master Tynos...?" - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[Cioccolato Stella]]''' - Cioccolato, or Lady Cio as E'kari calls her, works as a nurse and aspiring doctor for Heartwood. This charming and kind healer can often be seen sporting pastel colors and traveling around in the company of her Demon Brick, Cenere, which is a close friend of Max. E'kari has always been very fond of this miqo'te since her arrival and is one of the few she trusts to care for Kira and Max in her absence.

: ● '''[[Kaiya Ailbhe]]''' - The librarian, chief of medicine and over-all brains of Heartwood. E'kari admires the patience of this woman but also feels horribly guilty that the actions of her free company have driven Kaiya to take up smoking. Occasionally E'kari will bring Kaiya cinnamon sticks en masse as an attempt to give her something roughly cigarette shaped to hold and suck on. It is unknown if Doctor Ailhbe actually enjoys these or if she is merely humoring E'kari. Hopefully at the very least she is not being driven to smoke those as well...

: ● '''[[Zana Amaro]]''' - An aloof gunslinger and self proclaimed alley-cat. Despite being told not to, E'kari still insists on respectfully referring to this miqo'te as Lady Zana. When this woman is armed and in a foul mood . . . heaven help her target. E'kari has seen Zana rip a man's arm clean off. However Zana does also have a soft side. When E'kari was gravely injured in an attempt on her life, Zana stationed herself in the clinic to watch over her.

: ● '''[[Narumi Kotokaze]]''' - More commonly referred to as "Kota". E'kari met this Maelstrom affiliated bounty hunter on the road when she was set upon by highwaymen--which Kota easily dispatched. Since then the Raen has been promoted to first lieutenant of the Storm-guard and assigned to work as the handler of the former pirate Skyfwyb. The officer comissions her medicine from E'kari's "Alchemist's Alley".

:● '''[[Skyfwyb Aergankawyn]]''' - E'kari was not fond of this woman in the start. The monsterous Seawolf had committed crimes against Heartwood on numerous occasions. E'kari was glad to hear of her sting and arrest by the Maelstrom. In the time that has followed, however, the curt and belligerent captain seems to have changed her ways to some extent. E'kari now views her slightly more favorably after having witnessed Skyfwyb's capacity to care genuinely for another person. It was also by the aid of this former pirate that the Solsong household was able to cross the sea to the east. As it stands now they are friends.

: ● '''[[Moralee Relen]]''' - Known to E'kari as "Mordry". This Au'Ra woman is rather complex for many reasons. Regardless E'kari cares greatly about Moralee and Mora in equal measure--although Mordry's "Moralee-half" is more familiar to her. Some time ago Mordry required E'kari's help with a somewhat risky task. This evoked the ire of her usually perpetually cheerful husband. Vektis has yet to forgive Mordry to this day, which fills the Seeker with guilt and remorse. However, because of that mission, E'kari learned how to brew a special and ancient potion she dubbed, "The Draught of the Dreamwalker".

: ● '''[[Neville Synch]]''' - This good natured marksman is the mate of Zana Amaro and the best friend of E'yami Amane. Over the period she has known him, this man has done a lot for E'kari's family which she could never repay. Though she does not know him too well personally she trusts him fully regardless. She always gets a chuckle out of the banter between Neville and Vektis.

: ● '''[[Vahn Quietfury]]''' - A sweet little boy with a curious connection to an elder dragon. E'kari first met the half lalafell on a caravan mission that was attacked. In the absence of his own mother, the Seeker would often look after Vahn when his father was away. One day when Vahn was playing with some of the other boys in the company yard he exhibited dangerous abilities. He and his father were sent away for the potential danger they posed. E'kari still loves Vahn like a son.

: ● '''[[Brandon Stormstrider]]''' - The Hyur father of Vahn Quietfury. E'kari met Brandon a short time after Vahn. The two became close friends, as the miqo'te was one of the few Heartwood members Brandon trusted. She would often do simple favors for the father and son to make their lives easier such as cleaning or bringing home pineapples. Upon their leaving to a new safehaven the Seeker found herself deeply saddend, however Brandon still sneaks over to the company on occasion. Brandon has placed E'kari under the protection of his men known only as "The Rogues".

: ● '''[[Enkhjargal Dalamiq]]''' - This stoic summoner is actually E'kari's master. He took her under his wing when she first arrived to Heartwood and had to terrorize her into being able to use her magic for anything beyond healing. His methods worked and looking back, E'kari owes him all of the strength she possesses now. Beyond that, she thinks he is a wonderful person who has natural ability with children. Who knew!

: ● '''[[Camille Everardi]]''' - Camille is Enkhjargal Dalamiq's wife and a talented mage, among many other things. E'kari has seen Camille fight in more than one way in the past with spars. She found this woman to be a strong female rolemodel for her in the past when she was just learning to fight--and still looks up to her to this day. E'kari couldn't be happier that her master and friend found happiness in each other's company.

: ● '''[[Chokho Viqqoh]]''' - A fierce, fiery and loyal amnesiac-Keeper who recently joined Heartwood. Since her arrival, Chokho and E'kari have become fast friends; bonding over their shared love of martial arts and string instruments. Though the two differ greatly in temperament and personality they have a shared respect for one another.

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#4d0000;font-size:14px;color:#FFFFFF;">Acquaintances</div><div style="border:0px solid; padding:8px">===

: ● '''[[Dead Willow]]''' - This Gyr Abanian born Hellsguard was Vektis’ teacher while he studied Red Magic. While possessing the—not uncommon—gruff demeanor of a pit fighter, Willow has also expressed true care and kindness toward her apprentice and his family. E’kari has come to respect Willow a great deal, so much so that she’s offered the Roegadyn a teaching position at her school upon its completion. 

:● '''[[Nevrynn Alarone]]''' - While E'kari initially mistrusted the Seeker for his roguish persona and wanderlust, in resent months she has come to warm up to her sister's mate. Though she may not know him as well as she might like, he makes her sister happy. And the affection between the two are plain to see.

: ● '''[[Jake Jakkya]]''' - A red-lenses wearing void-mage who has spent a great deal of his life as a pit fighter. This spellsword is particularly close to E'kari's adopted mother, Nack, which makes him a brother of sorts. E'kari sorely wishes he would be less devil-may-care in demeanor at times, or at least care a bit more about his own life. She's always pleased when he pops up unharmed now and again. This former criminal has been blacklisted from Heartwood for his criminal debts to the Syndicate--though he has since paid them back in full, becoming an ally to the group.

: ● '''[[Ash Valken]]''' - The tall, brooding brother of Nyscera who has a strong dislike for Rath. E'kari met this former bandit spying on her a few times. Eventually the two had a sit-down conversation and became close--which was a new thing for the Au'Ra. E'kari taught Ash how to play a grasswhistle, fixed his broken hearing-aid and engaged in a playful spar. Somehow, in one way or another, most of their interactions end in awkward sexual-tension. The day Ash left Heartwood, E'kari gave him a necklace made from a strap of her doctor's bag to remember her by and encouraged him to follow his dreams.

: ● '''[[Akiyuki Okuma]]''' - The large, quiet, but overall pleasant husband of Cio who has joined Heartwood since his marriage to the plucky, pastel nursemaid. This reserved Au'Ra is a welcome addition to the family.

: ● '''[[Kenoni Eien’no]]''' - The betrothed of her friend Moralee. A stern and stoic acquaintance but never the less, E'kari admires his loyalty and commitment to Mordry. She hopes the two will have a wonderful life together with their child.

: ● '''[[J'edite Shedai]]''' - A fellow enthusiast of martial arts that spends most of her time roaming Thanalan seeking glory for the Jackal tribe. The two have had run-ins here and there as J'edite was on hunts and once sparred under the Sultan tree. The Seekers employ very different styles of their own making: while E'kari fights with her heavy handed "Golem Step" ideal for doing battle with armed and armored foes; J'edite uses fast kicks transitioning into fluid jabs in her "Fire Dancer" style that proves to be the bane of slower opponents. As it stands the two are friendly rivals.

: ● '''[[Alpon Adpon]]''' - The Pink Punisher! E'kari has met this "battle-chef" in passing more than once. The lalafell's skill in combat seems to rival his culinary prowess.

: ● '''[[Namaka Ebisu]]''' - A strange and sweet water-sprite who lives in a fountain. You want tree slugs? Because this is how you get tree slugs.

: ● '''[[Alistar Stormfist]]''' - Found by Heartwood on the road to Little Ala Mhigo, this former Garlean slave was near death and wearing a magitek collar. With no where else to go and no life to return to, this gentle giant returned with the caravan to the Heartwood Homestead.

: ● '''[[Lucinda Kovix]]''' - This kindly and capable, Ishgardian drifter met Doctor Sol as she was returning from conversing with the Everschade and her husband's chocobo ran off. Lucinda and E'kari worked together to catch the bird and got to talking about Lucy's need for work and also to find her missing brother. The Miqo'te has since come to stay at Heartwood which has overjoyed E'kari.

: ● '''[[L'nela Varya]]''' - A one-eyed woman who really enjoys taking a bite out of life! In all seriousness--L'nela is a chipper and quirky person. A little emotional at times, but rightfully so; as her recent years have been filled with trauma. Both physical and emotional. Careful, she likes to nibble!
 

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#4d0000;font-size:14px;color:#FFFFFF;">Disliked</div><div style="border:0px solid; padding:8px">===

:● '''[[Tharl Oom Khash - NPC]]''' - A being made of corruption who takes his name from his place of creation. While to most guardians of the Shroud he would be a natural enemy anyway--this thing has taken a special and terrible shine to tormenting E'kari and all of Heartwood. His track record of terrible deeds is staggering and body count ever on the rise. His most memorable in E'kari's mind were her children, Sagu'a and Cize. The vengeful mother aided in his demise by pummeling him with special stones--from Tynos and Kaiya--she formed into barbaric gauntlets.


:● '''[[The Pumpking - NPC]]''' - This strange and otherwordly being was initially just an unsettling presence that occasionally appeared in the Heartwood halls offering bargains for steep moral prices. It was not until this squash-headed man manipulated Tustin Lafell into a contract that he became E'kari's enemy. The Seeker used excessive force against the entitiy, beating him into a puddle of black ooze. He has since returned to haunt Heartwood, though has stifled a sum of E'kari's animosity toward him by fixing her carbuncle's shattered gem and helping finish off Khash for good.

== <div style="padding:10px 15px; background:#4d0000; font-size:20px; color:#ffffff">'''Character Trivia'''</div>==
 
:■ E'kari refers to people as 'master' or 'lady' because as a young newcomer to Gridania she was hazed by the local youths; who told her that it was how non-tribal people spoke to one another. Excited to make 'friends' the Seeker picked this up almost immediately. It was not until this was an ingrained habit that she learned it was all a ruse for E'kari to make a fool of herself every time she spoke.
:■ Despite the skill not coming up particularly often, E'kari is adept at Thavnarian belly-dancing. This and many similar styles of celebratory dance were used among she and her kin in their tribal lands; though this is actually not their people's only connection to the middle east. The dress style, use of Alchemy and herbal medicines, even their taste in food has been greatly influenced by trade with Thavnair, much like many others who reside in Thanalan.
:■ E'kari will often experience an inconsolable sense of dread when E'yami is in emotional distress or danger, even if they are far apart. This link between twins seems to go both ways.
:■ Due to E'kari's heavy aspection to Earth she is notoriously difficult to knock off her feet and has immense stamina; adversely, she is not as quick as she'd like to be and swimming in deep water takes a significant amount of energy.
:■ Though most are unaware--or attribute some of her mannerisms to merely being quirky--E'kari actually suffers from high functioning autism. Social queues tend to be her biggest hurdle, along with focusing on the big picture of tasks as opposed to minut details, and sorting out painful emotions.

<div>
=== '''♦ General''' ===
<hr>
 
: Conrad Steelsong is a man who has lived and breathed war his entire life. Born and raised in the once proud and mighty city-state of Ala Mhigo, he knew only of his nation's rich and powerful heritage - and the lust to conquer any and all who dare show weakness. The ideals set upon him by his family and homeland shaped the man who he would eventually become. A stubborn, prideful bull of a man who showed little mercy and asked for none in return.

: As the years went by this raging fire began to dwindle; only to be replaced by a tempered wisdom that sought to better the world around him - rather than make it submit. Conrad walked away from his war path to live a life of relative peace within any hall who would take him - eventually finding stock in Heartwood Ventures; which he currently leads. There he labors to this day; using his skills to forge new heroes to walk the path of glory as he once did. Until the inevitable day comes when the call goes out to take back what was and always will be his home. <div>
 



=== '''♦ Appearance''' ===
<hr>
 
: ((WIP)) <div>
 



=== '''♦ Behaviour''' ===
<hr>
 
: Conrad's behavior typically remains constant. In his youth he was aggressive, possessive, and prideful to the point of self destruction. In his current, later years he has calmed substantially. He is incredibly stubborn and foul-mouthed, and still aggressive enough to warrant refraining from provocation. Though his ends are usually for the greater good - even if the people he cares for don't see it right away. He's considered the old dad of Heartwood - a title he absolutely despises.

: 💑 '''[[No'ulla Khilik]]''' - If there is one soul on Hydaelyn who is capable of putting up with Conrad to his fullest - it would be No'ulla. She has a heart as solid and steadfast as her hardworking hands. An artisan at heart, she is the only one for the Ala Mhigan - a pairing that would seem odd to an outside eye.

: ● '''[[Archemides Fontaine]]''' - Archemides is Conrad's oldest and most cherished friend - despite being young enough to be considered his son. They've been through countless adventures together, and even more arm wrestling contests. Fairly certain neither of them are allowed back at Buscarron's - and they wouldn't have it any other way.

: ● '''[[Vektis Sol]]''' - Vektis has formed a strange bond with the Ala Mhigan. When they first met he absolutely could not stand the Miqo'te, but over time he's seen just how big his heart is for those he cares for. He has always seen potential in the annoying brat, and though he would never -ever- say it out loud; he considers Vektis to be one of his best friends.

: ● '''[[E'kari Sol]]''' - Conrad has grown quite close to E'kari since his goddaughter, E'kira, was born. She is currently his student, and has managed to become a wonderful and close friend over the many suns they've known each other. The Miqo'te keeps Vektis grounded, and for that she has his eternal gratitude.

: ● '''[[Nyscera Alarone]]''' - Nyscera has not only become a wonderful friend and ally to Conrad; but also his teacher. She was the first who willingly brought him under her wing and taught him the basics of the Samurai way. She will always be a cherished friend to him, despite him not understand why she married Rath.

: ● '''[[Rath Alarone]]''' - Rath and Conrad have gone back awhile; to a time where he once called him "Twinkle Toes" and "Noodle Arms". Like Vektis, Conrad couldn't really stand Rath until he eventually grew on him - and now he considers him a good friend, if not a bit childish for his age.

: ● '''[[Namaka Ebisu]]''' - Conrad holds a special kind of relationship with the little blue Miqo'te. She is like a sister to him, always able to make him smile and laugh no matter the circumstance. They have been through a lot together, and though time and distance may keep them apart - he never forgets about her.

: ● '''[[Tynos Riller]]''' - If you ask Conrad about Tynos, he'll always laugh and recount the story of when he first interviewed the lanky, nerdy Elezen. Since then he's grown to respect the black mage as time goes on, though he'll always see him as a quirky book-worm who buries himself in too much paperwork.

: ● '''[[Bennett Cooper]]''' - The Ala Mhigan saw Bennett as a kid who had potential to be something great. He took a liking to him for his plucky attitude and willingness to learn no matter what. Though he still considers the lalafell to be naive to a fault, and groans every time he ends up in trouble.

: ● '''[[Osrick Garanthian]]''' - Osrick, like Archemides, is a blood brother to Conrad. They share a similar interest in fighting and always bettering themselves - as well as having a good time when it calls for it. They've since grown apart over the years, but their bond will never be broken.

: ● '''[[Sakeru Wakeru]]''' – Sakeru was always considered an enigma to Conrad. He never could pin him down and figure out his motives. Which made him hesitant to trust the lalafell. Plus he seems to have an obsession with stoves.

: ● '''[[Kaiya Ailbhe]]''' - Kaiya and Conrad have a more professional working relationship within Heartwood. Though he will always appreciate the doctor's skills in keeping his friends alive - and having a good rapport with his wife, [[No'ulla Khilik]].

: ● '''[[Reina Sol]]''' - Vektis' half sister who Conrad has a decent working relationship with.

: ● '''[[Solid Sequoia]]''' - Conrad and Solid have a bit of history that unfortunately became stunted when the Ala Mhigan's ex-lover came back into the picture. Since then, they still occasionally contact each other.

: ● '''[[Yurei Saionji]]''' - Conrad has only recently known the Doman shrine maiden, but he has come to admire her knowledge and peaceful aura. He plans to regularly attend her shrine; to learn more of the Doman culture and practicing various meditation techniques.

<div>
=== '''♦ General''' ===
<hr>
 
: (This page has recently undergone a major rework! Check it out if you want to know what has changed!)
: This overly polite and apologetic medicine-woman can often be found scuttling about making deliveries for her shop. Due to her diligent work, E'kari's Alchemist Alley has become one of the Alchemist Guild's favored subsidiaries and is frequently called upon to do business as a representative of their organization. <div>
 



=== '''♦ Appearance''' ===
<hr>
 

: E'kari is a Seeker/Keeper half-breed who carries some physical traits from her mother and father. Her eyes are narrow slit-pupils, skin pale but capable of bronzing in the sun like a Seeker; though her fur is fluffy and tail is long like a Keeper.

: This miqo'te has a snow-print mane--white with undertones if black and grey--with pale blue eyes and bangle-stripes that frame her face.

: In true mage form--E'kari can usually be found in little to no armor, even when going into battle. It slows her down in preforming martial arts and also disrupts her casting to wear anything too heavy. Instead she prefers comfortable robes or her labcoat. <div>
 



=== '''♦ History ''' ===
<hr>
 
: The parentage of E'yami and E'kari is a taboo matter. One that the Nunh of the Eft ordered upon the strictest of penalty, never to be spoken of. While their mother--E'yari--was a Seeker and one of the designated breeding females to the Nunh; their father--Sagu'a--was actually a roving Keeper who had long since left behind a subservient life with his maternal-family in the Shroud to be a traveling poet, minstrel and anthropologist. The two Miqo'te met when Sagu'a and his scholarly lalafell companion, Anabel Nack, sought a place to rest during their travels. The tribe apprehensively took the researchers in as temporary guests. In that time Sagu'a and E'yari began a secret relationship.

:When it came to light that the two had been together Sagu'a was put to death, and his body unceremoniously left to rot in the heat of the desert just outside of their territory.

: In a double blow, not only was E'yari stricken with grief, but she also discovered she was pregnant. Due to a combination of her melancholy of her lost love, the despair at what her life would be at the whims of her Nunh and complications during the birthing process--E'yari died shortly after her second kit was delivered. The last words she managed to speak before slipping away were the names of her children. Both Doman, in honor of their father who fancied the culture. Yami, meaning dark, and Hikari meaning light--though the midwives were unfamiliar with the tongue, mistaking it simply for /E/kari.

: Upon the twins' birth into the Eft--as per tradition--the clan made a ceremonial offering of their namesake to Azeyma that would determine their role in the tribe. When the flesh was melted from the bones,their appointed wise-woman had determined E'kari was to be the next shaman while E'yami's bones were an augury that she was preordained to be a great warrior.

: The Nunh was pleased by the news and demanded celebration, but found that the females of the tribe were not nearly as thrilled. Many believed that the pale-faced kits with hair of black and white were cursed; killing their mother with ill-omen. Nack took this opportunity to offer her services in raising her friends' children and providing them with education.

:The lalafell's silver tongue managed to coerce the Nunh to allow this arrangement--given he had few other options. The three were put up in a yurt close to the Nunh's own home to keep an eye on the foreigner.

: In the years that proceeded their youth, the twins were given a proper education by the professor--in between being stolen away to be taught their duties to the Eft. While Yami practiced fighting the other tribal youths, Kari was introduced to herbal medicine, burial rites and how to divinate the future with the practice of bone reading.

: Despite the twins' diligent efforts to hone their skills and fulfill thier tribal roles, they sorely lacked any sort of companionship from the other children of the Eft--having learned from their mother's to be wary of the pale-faced Seekers. Because of this, Nack took it upon herself to try and teach the girls the basic art of carbuncle summoning and passed her own Topaz and Emerald gems down to each of them.

: Demure and plagued with anxiety, E'kari was given Nicholas--Nack's Emerald carbuncle--as a therapy animal; while E'yami received Whackara--a Topaz companion who had enough spunk and energy to keep up with her. Both arcanist-pets has served the Professor faithfully since her own youth and passed without incident into the hands of their new masters.

: As the twins neared their teenage years, an odd habit of E'kari's came to light. She could often be found speaking to the streams, winds and rock-faces in the territory which the tribe found very suspicious. Some of the more superstitious members of the tribe were convinced the was speaking to the dead; the Nunh believed this was some gift from the Warden, proving his right to rule was divine.

: Knowing better than to believe any of that, Nack speculated that this was a hereditary trait, passed down from Sagu'a, who was a Hearer. Once more the professor went to the Nunh and convinced him that he should allow her to take the twins to train abroad in Gridania that they might return more powerful and capable of serving him. He agreed to the idea and within a fortnight Nack brought the girls to the Shroud.

: Once in Gridania, E'kari joined the Conjurer's Guild as a student while E'yami sought training in both lance and bow.

: Though eager to make new friends the Seeker found this was easier said than done. The high populous of Hyur and Elezen looked condescendingly upon the tribal girls. It was not out of the ordinary for the more crude classmates to inquire if her parents were cousins. This trouble fitting in was compounded by the fact she didn't seem to learn at the same rate as everyone else. E'kari would often focus on small details of things, so much so that she could not intake an entire lesson. A classroom setting did her little credit, but during her free moments she would visit the Everschade and commune with the Elementals.

: On one such visit, a strong wind blew a small branch down from the great tree; which, E'kari took and mended with magic that it might be used as a crook.

: Due to her natural affinity for the forest and her difficulty with conventional methods of learning she was taken as a personal apprentice to Master E-Sumi-Yan, a patient Padjal who specialized in the guidance of Hearers. Discovering the trick seemed to be hands-on learning, he took every opportunity to have the Seeker accompany him while he worked. E'kari improved quickly under his tutelage, able to stand as a conjurer in her own right.

: Near the end of the girl's time abroad, the Seventh Umbral Calamity struck. With her guild called to act as medics on the field, the twins soon found themselves on the heels of disaster for the duration of the event. E'kari and her classmates followed the guildmasters into the chaos, assisting those who had been wounded or fallen. E'yami acted as E'kari's personal guard as she preformed field surgeries and magical healing. The two witnessed death up close on more than one occasion, finding themselves changed by the end of it all.

: After all was said and done, the girls' respective masters deemed them both students no longer. And while this was a sweet taste, it was also made bitter by the memories of carnage that now haunted them both.

: The twins returned to their desert territory as heroines who represented their tribe with valor and courage. The Nunh held festivities long into the night.It seemed as though they'd finally been accepted, but neither seemed particularly content with staying within the territory any more--not after all they had been through. Together E'yami and E'kari traveled to the Shrine of the Warden, offering an Eft in a pyre for guidance. When the flesh had melted from the bones, Azeyma's will bid they must go--for they had more to do out in the world. E'kari shared this edict with their people and with heavy hearts, they left again to find and fulfill their duties elsewhere until the time the Warden calls for them to return.

=== '''♦ Behavior ''' ===

 

: E'kari has a hard time learning in a conventional sense often requires an exceedingly patient teacher in order to have any real success. However once she does learn something--or is preforming a task she excels in--she is hard-pressed to be outshined.

: While still generally being good natured and apologetic, in combat E'kari is capable of being a formidable opponent. Being a conjurer she will often take the role of a healer, but her connection to the Elementals has also allowed to take a unique approach to martial arts. The Seeker will often harden a stone skin over her hands and feet while delivering blows, or using gales of wind to enhance her movement speed. She has named her self-made fighting style, "The Golem Step" which emphasizes momentum and fluidity. (Much of her techniques in form are inspired by real world Zui Quan)

: Despite her obvious shortcomings, E'kari is a very hopeful person and goes into every situation with optimism for success, even if she has failed at the task a hundred times before. Sometimes it's the hundred and first try that brings success.

: ● '''[[E'yami Amane]]''' - E'kari's protective fraternal twin sister, older by 7 minutes. E'yami has always been a strong source of strength, comfort and adventure as the two have grown. Though she has a very tomboyish and wears tough outer shell, E'kari knows that her sister is actually very caring and sensitive--always putting the needs of others before herself; and that is what makes her E'kari's hero.

: 💑 '''[[Vektis Sol]]''' - E'kari's boisterous, free-spirited and loveable husband. When they first met she admired his self confidence--often shyly observing him kicking down doors to shout his own name at people. There are few in the world who can raise E'kari's spirits like Vektis can. The two became close friends and then a couple shortly there after. Though many people see his behavior as a nuisance, E'kari celebrates her husband's off-beat mannerisms--unless of course they prove to be dangerous. She loves him to the end of the world and back. The two are married and have two young children together. "Yes, you have been informed correctly. Vektis is, indeed, the bestest." - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[E'kira Sol]]''' - The infant daughter of Vektis and E'kari, also commonly referred to as Kira. This tiny mixed breed of Keeper and Seeker has been though much hardship in her short life. E'kira is the sole survivor of a litter of three, making Vektis and E'kari very protective of her. Regardless of whatever situation she's in, E'kira tends to cry very little. Recently she'd begun learning to walk and talk. Already she has shown the propensity to always be making noise of some sort, just like her father.

: ● '''[[Maxwell Sol]]''' - Born to the Eft tribe--to the name E'rhaja Tia--and orphaned after his sire was defeated and overthrown by another male. E'kari picked up the kitten; she felt a kinship with him for their similar origins. Upon his arrival at Heartwood to the Sol family he was renamed by Vektis and E'kari so he might grow up feeling like he belonged. Now three cycles old, Max is shy, polite and thoughtful. Especially fond of tinkering with small shiny objects and collecting beads, rocks and shells. He has an exceptionally bright mind for a boy his age.

: ● '''[[Nicholas Nack- NPC]]''' - The ever-present summoned companion of E'kari. This carbuncle has been with E'kari throughout the Seeker's entire life as a sort of therapy animal, helping to keep her anxiety in check. With a gem layered with complex geometries: Anabel Nack made it so he and his sister creation--Whackara--could form memories; and with that, personalities. Nick is generally gentle and quiet, with a keen ability to sense people's emotional needs. As such, he tends to gravitate to people whom he suspects need comfort. Nick is aware of his own artificial intellegence and often grapples with his place in the world, as well as the loneliness that comes from his own existence. "Ploo!" - Nick

: ● '''[[Anabel Nack]]''' - Author, scientist, surgeon and parent. This quirky and frightening alchemist is the adopted mother of E'yami and E'kari. Nanabel Nabel by birth, she almost always goes by her pen-name "A.B. 'Nack'". Though her child rearing methods were always questionable at best, the most indisputable fact of it all is that Nack loves both of her girls very much. She is not above employing dark methods to ensure this mad-scientist keeps her loved ones safe. This lalafell's haunting laughter was picked up by E'kari as she was growing up. "Kuhuhuh....." - Anabel Nack

: ● '''[[Conrad Steelsong]]''' - This initially frighteningly large Ala Mhigan is actually the godparent of E'kari and Vektis' young daughter, E'kira. The four of them, as well as No'Ulla Khilik, all take up residence in the same house in the Mist. Conrad has obviously weathered the storm of many conflicts that have hardened his exterior. Despite his gruff demeanor, E'kari finds him to be a wonderful person and the closest thing to a father she's ever known.

: ● '''[[No'Ulla Khilik]]''' - The Ala Mhigan-weaver wife of Conrad Steelsong. She has recently returned from apprenticing in Ishgard to live with the Solsong household. E'kari finds her to be a skilled craftswoman and never tires of hearing about Ulla's special technique of Spell-Weaving. Ulla is a welcome addition to the family--E'kari just hopes that Vektis doesn't scare their new friend off with nonsensical antics.

: ● '''[[Nyscera Alarone]]''' - This mistress of shadowy death is a close friend of the twins' adopted mother. She is considered an aunt to E'kari and E'yami. Early on in E'kari stay at Heartwood, the dragon-riding assassin took E'kari, Bennett and Snowy in as pupils for physical and mental training. While it was grueling and at times crushing, E'kari owes her martial arts ability solely to these lessons. Nyscera taught E'kari the value of teamwork and also her how to be unphased by negative elements in her life.

: ● '''[[Rath Alarone]]''' - Nyscera's aloof husband--and by proxy--the twins' uncle. This applesauce-loving dark knight is the one that hired E'kari to work as the company alchemist--in no small part to do with the potent pain killers she was able to make for him after a fight that nearly ended in his death. He always seems have a joke lined up, even in the most bleak of situations.

: ● '''[[Bennett Cooper]]''' - E'kari's teammate and--since his adoption by Rath and Nyscera Alarone--cousin of sorts. E'kari sees Bennett as the shining future of their free company. While he makes mistakes and has a ways to go before he can truly master any of his arsenal of weapons, E'kari firmly believes this young boy is going to do great things. Could young Master Bennett be a something more than the average fighter...? "Cooper is Super..!" - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[E'vehlke Sohj]]''' - The maternal cousin of E'kari and E'yami. Vehlke is a fearless warrior with a strange accent. As she is a full blood Seeker of the Eft tribe, E'vehlke shares a striking resemblance to the twins' deceased mother.

: ● '''[[Sokhatai Borlaaq]]''' - This huntress is the wife of E'vehlke Sohj. She has a very specific way of talking. E'kari onced picked her brain about adventure and Au'Ra culture. She finds her delightful!

: ● '''[[Reina Sol]]''' - E'kari's half Keeper half Raen sister-in-law. She is the first person from Heartwood that the twins ever met, quickly taking the girls under her wing and giving them a place to stay. It was because of Reina that E'kari met Vektis. E'kari admires Reina as a strong and together person.

: ● '''[[Snowy Sol]]''' - E'kari's full miqo'te sister-in-law. Even before the two were related by marriage, E'kari has had a definite soft spot for this girl-genius in her heart. The two worked together in the clinic for some time, rather closely. In one occasion the two preformed life saving surgery on Vektis. E'kari's only qualm is that she fears this teen might be too relaxed about the dangerous world around her at times--but maybe that's just the anxiety talking.

: ● '''[[Xihvi'ir Valathri]]''' - Xihvi'ir, or 'Ashy' as the others have taken to calling him, is a kindly harp-player that has come into the service of Heartwood. Though E'kari doesn't know of his personal dealings in any intricate regard--other than his past as a gambler--she knows she can trust his character, as he is well loved by Nick. The Keeper has always loaned a helping hand to the company whenever a need arose, for that E'kari finds herself very grateful to her new friend. Though she doesn't know it yet, the two share an unexpected bond in blood.

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#4d0000; font-size:14px; color:#FFFFFF">Friends </div><div style="border:0px solid; padding:8px"> ===

: ● '''[[Sakeru Wakeru]]''' – This unsuspecting looking delivery boy has a dark past under the surface. A time ago, Sakeru divulged a portion of his history to E'kari and a few others. Oddly enough, she ended up trusting him more after learning he was a trained assassin. She was quite sad to see him leave for a time, but was much overjoyed at his return. Wherever this lalafell goes two things are a certain: death and dinner. "Did I leave the oven on..?" - Sakeru Wakeru

: ● '''[[Tustin Lafell]]''' - The first moment E'kari saw this lalafell he was being arrested on the free company lawn for the attempted armed robbery. Later when he returned to make his peace with Heartwood the two met and over time became close companions. Tustin's street-savvy, wild and hot-headed demeanor contrasts E'kari's bookish, nervous, awkwardness in a very positive way. This Dunesfolk left Heartwood some time ago to make something of himself out in the world. Since then he has begun studying medicine. He remains, to this day, one of E'kari's most treasured and beloved friends. "I'm not cute! I'm manly as hell!" - Tustin Lafell

: ● '''[[Tynos Riller]]''' - This towering black mage initially greatly frightened E'kari upon their first meeting. Perhaps it was his scar, his serious expression or his sheer size--regardless, she now knows him as a very kind-hearted and family oriented leader. He sacrifices much of himself to keep Heartwood's members safe--and frankly--works too hard. It would be a shock to find him away from the clinic for longer than a month. It's safe to say, E'kari's pharmacy has a special 'Tynos Budget' for the small fortune it takes to keep this misfortune prone Elezen on his feet. "My goodness..! Hurt again, Master Tynos...?" - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[Cioccolato Stella]]''' - Cioccolato, or Lady Cio as E'kari calls her, works as a nurse and aspiring doctor for Heartwood. This charming and kind healer can often be seen sporting pastel colors and traveling around in the company of her Demon Brick, Cenere, which is a close friend of Max. E'kari has always been very fond of this miqo'te since her arrival and is one of the few she trusts to care for Kira and Max in her absence.

: ● '''[[Kaiya Ailbhe]]''' - The librarian, chief of medicine and over-all brains of Heartwood. E'kari admires the patience of this woman but also feels horribly guilty that the actions of her free company have driven Kaiya to take up smoking. Occasionally E'kari will bring Kaiya cinnamon sticks en masse as an attempt to give her something roughly cigarette shaped to hold and suck on. It is unknown if Doctor Ailhbe actually enjoys these or if she is merely humoring E'kari. Hopefully at the very least she is not being driven to smoke those as well...

: ● '''[[Zana Amaro]]''' - An aloof gunslinger and self proclaimed alley-cat. Despite being told not to, E'kari still insists on respectfully referring to this miqo'te as Lady Zana. When this woman is armed and in a foul mood . . . heaven help her target. E'kari has seen Zana rip a man's arm clean off. However Zana does also have a soft side. When E'kari was gravely injured in an attempt on her life, Zana stationed herself in the clinic to watch over her.

: ● '''[[Narumi Kotokaze]]''' - More commonly referred to as "Kota". E'kari met this Maelstrom affiliated bounty hunter on the road when she was set upon by highwaymen--which Kota easily dispatched. Since then the Raen has been promoted to first lieutenant of the Storm-guard and assigned to work as the handler of the former pirate Skyfwyb. The officer comissions her medicine from E'kari's "Alchemist's Alley".

:● '''[[Skyfwyb Aergankawyn]]''' - E'kari was not fond of this woman in the start. The monsterous Seawolf had committed crimes against Heartwood on numerous occasions. E'kari was glad to hear of her sting and arrest by the Maelstrom. In the time that has followed, however, the curt and belligerent captain seems to have changed her ways to some extent. E'kari now views her slightly more favorably after having witnessed Skyfwyb's capacity to care genuinely for another person. It was also by the aid of this former pirate that the Solsong household was able to cross the sea to the east. As it stands now they are friends.

: ● '''[[Moralee Relen]]''' - Known to E'kari as "Mordry". This Au'Ra woman is rather complex for many reasons. Regardless E'kari cares greatly about Moralee and Mora in equal measure--although Mordry's "Moralee-half" is more familiar to her. Some time ago Mordry required E'kari's help with a somewhat risky task. This evoked the ire of her usually perpetually cheerful husband. Vektis has yet to forgive Mordry to this day, which fills the Seeker with guilt and remorse. However, because of that mission, E'kari learned how to brew a special and ancient potion she dubbed, "The Draught of the Dreamwalker".

: ● '''[[Neville Synch]]''' - This good natured marksman is the mate of Zana Amaro and the best friend of E'yami Amane. Over the period she has known him, this man has done a lot for E'kari's family which she could never repay. Though she does not know him too well personally she trusts him fully regardless. She always gets a chuckle out of the banter between Neville and Vektis.

: ● '''[[Vahn Quietfury]]''' - A sweet little boy with a curious connection to an elder dragon. E'kari first met the half lalafell on a caravan mission that was attacked. In the absence of his own mother, the Seeker would often look after Vahn when his father was away. One day when Vahn was playing with some of the other boys in the company yard he exhibited dangerous abilities. He and his father were sent away for the potential danger they posed. E'kari still loves Vahn like a son.

: ● '''[[Brandon Stormstrider]]''' - The Hyur father of Vahn Quietfury. E'kari met Brandon a short time after Vahn. The two became close friends, as the miqo'te was one of the few Heartwood members Brandon trusted. She would often do simple favors for the father and son to make their lives easier such as cleaning or bringing home pineapples. Upon their leaving to a new safehaven the Seeker found herself deeply saddend, however Brandon still sneaks over to the company on occasion. Brandon has placed E'kari under the protection of his men known only as "The Rogues".

: ● '''[[Enkhjargal Dalamiq]]''' - This stoic summoner is actually E'kari's master. He took her under his wing when she first arrived to Heartwood and had to terrorize her into being able to use her magic for anything beyond healing. His methods worked and looking back, E'kari owes him all of the strength she possesses now. Beyond that, she thinks he is a wonderful person who has natural ability with children. Who knew!

: ● '''[[Camille Everardi]]''' - Camille is Enkhjargal Dalamiq's wife and a talented mage, among many other things. E'kari has seen Camille fight in more than one way in the past with spars. She found this woman to be a strong female rolemodel for her in the past when she was just learning to fight--and still looks up to her to this day. E'kari couldn't be happier that her master and friend found happiness in each other's company.

: ● '''[[Chokho Viqqoh]]''' - A fierce, fiery and loyal amnesiac-Keeper who recently joined Heartwood. Since her arrival, Chokho and E'kari have become fast friends; bonding over their shared love of martial arts and string instruments. Though the two differ greatly in temperament and personality they have a shared respect for one another.

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#4d0000;font-size:14px;color:#FFFFFF;">Acquaintances</div><div style="border:0px solid; padding:8px">===

: ● '''[[Dead Willow]]''' - This Gyr Abanian born Hellsguard was Vektis’ teacher while he studied Red Magic. While possessing the—not uncommon—gruff demeanor of a pit fighter, Willow has also expressed true care and kindness toward her apprentice and his family. E’kari has come to respect Willow a great deal, so much so that she’s offered the Roegadyn a teaching position at her school upon its completion. 

:● '''[[Nevrynn Alarone]]''' - While E'kari initially mistrusted the Seeker for his roguish persona and wanderlust, in resent months she has come to warm up to her sister's mate. Though she may not know him as well as she might like, he makes her sister happy. And the affection between the two are plain to see.

: ● '''[[Jake Jakkya]]''' - A red-lenses wearing void-mage who has spent a great deal of his life as a pit fighter. This spellsword is particularly close to E'kari's adopted mother, Nack, which makes him a brother of sorts. E'kari sorely wishes he would be less devil-may-care in demeanor at times, or at least care a bit more about his own life. She's always pleased when he pops up unharmed now and again. This former criminal has been blacklisted from Heartwood for his criminal debts to the Syndicate--though he has since paid them back in full, becoming an ally to the group.

: ● '''[[Ash Valken]]''' - The tall, brooding brother of Nyscera who has a strong dislike for Rath. E'kari met this former bandit spying on her a few times. Eventually the two had a sit-down conversation and became close--which was a new thing for the Au'Ra. E'kari taught Ash how to play a grasswhistle, fixed his broken hearing-aid and engaged in a playful spar. Somehow, in one way or another, most of their interactions end in awkward sexual-tension. The day Ash left Heartwood, E'kari gave him a necklace made from a strap of her doctor's bag to remember her by and encouraged him to follow his dreams.

: ● '''[[Akiyuki Okuma]]''' - The large, quiet, but overall pleasant husband of Cio who has joined Heartwood since his marriage to the plucky, pastel nursemaid. This reserved Au'Ra is a welcome addition to the family.

: ● '''[[Kenoni Eien’no]]''' - The betrothed of her friend Moralee. A stern and stoic acquaintance but never the less, E'kari admires his loyalty and commitment to Mordry. She hopes the two will have a wonderful life together with their child.

: ● '''[[J'edite Shedai]]''' - A fellow enthusiast of martial arts that spends most of her time roaming Thanalan seeking glory for the Jackal tribe. The two have had run-ins here and there as J'edite was on hunts and once sparred under the Sultan tree. The Seekers employ very different styles of their own making: while E'kari fights with her heavy handed "Golem Step" ideal for doing battle with armed and armored foes; J'edite uses fast kicks transitioning into fluid jabs in her "Fire Dancer" style that proves to be the bane of slower opponents. As it stands the two are friendly rivals.

: ● '''[[Alpon Adpon]]''' - The Pink Punisher! E'kari has met this "battle-chef" in passing more than once. The lalafell's skill in combat seems to rival his culinary prowess.

: ● '''[[Namaka Ebisu]]''' - A strange and sweet water-sprite who lives in a fountain. You want tree slugs? Because this is how you get tree slugs.

: ● '''[[Alistar Stormfist]]''' - Found by Heartwood on the road to Little Ala Mhigo, this former Garlean slave was near death and wearing a magitek collar. With no where else to go and no life to return to, this gentle giant returned with the caravan to the Heartwood Homestead.

: ● '''[[Lucinda Kovix]]''' - This kindly and capable, Ishgardian drifter met Doctor Sol as she was returning from conversing with the Everschade and her husband's chocobo ran off. Lucinda and E'kari worked together to catch the bird and got to talking about Lucy's need for work and also to find her missing brother. The Miqo'te has since come to stay at Heartwood which has overjoyed E'kari.

: ● '''[[L'nela Varya]]''' - A one-eyed woman who really enjoys taking a bite out of life! In all seriousness--L'nela is a chipper and quirky person. A little emotional at times, but rightfully so; as her recent years have been filled with trauma. Both physical and emotional. Careful, she likes to nibble!
 

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#4d0000;font-size:14px;color:#FFFFFF;">Disliked</div><div style="border:0px solid; padding:8px">===

:● '''[[Tharl Oom Khash - NPC]]''' - A being made of corruption who takes his name from his place of creation. While to most guardians of the Shroud he would be a natural enemy anyway--this thing has taken a special and terrible shine to tormenting E'kari and all of Heartwood. His track record of terrible deeds is staggering and body count ever on the rise. His most memorable in E'kari's mind were her children, Sagu'a and Cize. The vengeful mother aided in his demise by pummeling him with special stones--from Tynos and Kaiya--she formed into barbaric gauntlets.


:● '''[[The Pumpking - NPC]]''' - This strange and otherwordly being was initially just an unsettling presence that occasionally appeared in the Heartwood halls offering bargains for steep moral prices. It was not until this squash-headed man manipulated Tustin Lafell into a contract that he became E'kari's enemy. The Seeker used excessive force against the entitiy, beating him into a puddle of black ooze. He has since returned to haunt Heartwood, though has stifled a sum of E'kari's animosity toward him by fixing her carbuncle's shattered gem and helping finish off Khash for good.

== <div style="padding:10px 15px; background:#4d0000; font-size:20px; color:#ffffff">'''Character Trivia'''</div>==
 
:■ E'kari refers to people as 'master' or 'lady' because as a young newcomer to Gridania she was hazed by the local youths; who told her that it was how non-tribal people spoke to one another. Excited to make 'friends' the Seeker picked this up almost immediately. It was not until this was an ingrained habit that she learned it was all a ruse for E'kari to make a fool of herself every time she spoke.
:■ Despite the skill not coming up particularly often, E'kari is adept at Thavnarian belly-dancing. This and many similar styles of celebratory dance were used among she and her kin in their tribal lands; though this is actually not their people's only connection to the middle east. The dress style, use of Alchemy and herbal medicines, even their taste in food has been greatly influenced by trade with Thavnair, much like many others who reside in Thanalan.
:■ E'kari will often experience an inconsolable sense of dread when E'yami is in emotional distress or danger, even if they are far apart. This link between twins seems to go both ways.
:■ Due to E'kari's heavy aspection to Earth she is notoriously difficult to knock off her feet and has immense stamina; adversely, she is not as quick as she'd like to be and swimming in deep water takes a significant amount of energy.
:■ Though most are unaware--or attribute some of her mannerisms to merely being quirky--E'kari actually suffers from high functioning autism. Social queues tend to be her biggest hurdle, along with focusing on the big picture of tasks as opposed to minut details, and sorting out painful emotions.

<div>
=== '''♦ General''' ===
<hr>
 
: (This page has recently undergone a major rework! Check it out if you want to know what has changed!)
: This overly polite and apologetic medicine-woman can often be found scuttling about making deliveries for her shop. Due to her diligent work, E'kari's Alchemist Alley has become one of the Alchemist Guild's favored subsidiaries and is frequently called upon to do business as a representative of their organization. <div>
 



=== '''♦ Appearance''' ===
<hr>
 

: E'kari is a Seeker/Keeper half-breed who carries some physical traits from her mother and father. Her eyes are narrow slit-pupils, skin pale but capable of bronzing in the sun like a Seeker; though her fur is fluffy and tail is long like a Keeper.

: This miqo'te has a snow-print mane--white with undertones if black and grey--with pale blue eyes and bangle-stripes that frame her face.

: In true mage form--E'kari can usually be found in little to no armor, even when going into battle. It slows her down in preforming martial arts and also disrupts her casting to wear anything too heavy. Instead she prefers comfortable robes or her labcoat. <div>
 



=== '''♦ History ''' ===
<hr>
 
: The parentage of E'yami and E'kari is a taboo matter. One that the Nunh of the Eft ordered upon the strictest of penalty, never to be spoken of. While their mother--E'yari--was a Seeker and one of the designated breeding females to the Nunh; their father--Sagu'a--was actually a roving Keeper who had long since left behind a subservient life with his maternal-family in the Shroud to be a traveling poet, minstrel and anthropologist. The two Miqo'te met when Sagu'a and his scholarly lalafell companion, Anabel Nack, sought a place to rest during their travels. The tribe apprehensively took the researchers in as temporary guests. In that time Sagu'a and E'yari began a secret relationship.

:When it came to light that the two had been together Sagu'a was put to death, and his body unceremoniously left to rot in the heat of the desert just outside of their territory.

: In a double blow, not only was E'yari stricken with grief, but she also discovered she was pregnant. Due to a combination of her melancholy of her lost love, the despair at what her life would be at the whims of her Nunh and complications during the birthing process--E'yari died shortly after her second kit was delivered. The last words she managed to speak before slipping away were the names of her children. Both Doman, in honor of their father who fancied the culture. Yami, meaning dark, and Hikari meaning light--though the midwives were unfamiliar with the tongue, mistaking it simply for /E/kari.

: Upon the twins' birth into the Eft--as per tradition--the clan made a ceremonial offering of their namesake to Azeyma that would determine their role in the tribe. When the flesh was melted from the bones,their appointed wise-woman had determined E'kari was to be the next shaman while E'yami's bones were an augury that she was preordained to be a great warrior.

: The Nunh was pleased by the news and demanded celebration, but found that the females of the tribe were not nearly as thrilled. Many believed that the pale-faced kits with hair of black and white were cursed; killing their mother with ill-omen. Nack took this opportunity to offer her services in raising her friends' children and providing them with education.

:The lalafell's silver tongue managed to coerce the Nunh to allow this arrangement--given he had few other options. The three were put up in a yurt close to the Nunh's own home to keep an eye on the foreigner.

: In the years that proceeded their youth, the twins were given a proper education by the professor--in between being stolen away to be taught their duties to the Eft. While Yami practiced fighting the other tribal youths, Kari was introduced to herbal medicine, burial rites and how to divinate the future with the practice of bone reading.

: Despite the twins' diligent efforts to hone their skills and fulfill thier tribal roles, they sorely lacked any sort of companionship from the other children of the Eft--having learned from their mother's to be wary of the pale-faced Seekers. Because of this, Nack took it upon herself to try and teach the girls the basic art of carbuncle summoning and passed her own Topaz and Emerald gems down to each of them.

: Demure and plagued with anxiety, E'kari was given Nicholas--Nack's Emerald carbuncle--as a therapy animal; while E'yami received Whackara--a Topaz companion who had enough spunk and energy to keep up with her. Both arcanist-pets has served the Professor faithfully since her own youth and passed without incident into the hands of their new masters.

: As the twins neared their teenage years, an odd habit of E'kari's came to light. She could often be found speaking to the streams, winds and rock-faces in the territory which the tribe found very suspicious. Some of the more superstitious members of the tribe were convinced the was speaking to the dead; the Nunh believed this was some gift from the Warden, proving his right to rule was divine.

: Knowing better than to believe any of that, Nack speculated that this was a hereditary trait, passed down from Sagu'a, who was a Hearer. Once more the professor went to the Nunh and convinced him that he should allow her to take the twins to train abroad in Gridania that they might return more powerful and capable of serving him. He agreed to the idea and within a fortnight Nack brought the girls to the Shroud.

: Once in Gridania, E'kari joined the Conjurer's Guild as a student while E'yami sought training in both lance and bow.

: Though eager to make new friends the Seeker found this was easier said than done. The high populous of Hyur and Elezen looked condescendingly upon the tribal girls. It was not out of the ordinary for the more crude classmates to inquire if her parents were cousins. This trouble fitting in was compounded by the fact she didn't seem to learn at the same rate as everyone else. E'kari would often focus on small details of things, so much so that she could not intake an entire lesson. A classroom setting did her little credit, but during her free moments she would visit the Everschade and commune with the Elementals.

: On one such visit, a strong wind blew a small branch down from the great tree; which, E'kari took and mended with magic that it might be used as a crook.

: Due to her natural affinity for the forest and her difficulty with conventional methods of learning she was taken as a personal apprentice to Master E-Sumi-Yan, a patient Padjal who specialized in the guidance of Hearers. Discovering the trick seemed to be hands-on learning, he took every opportunity to have the Seeker accompany him while he worked. E'kari improved quickly under his tutelage, able to stand as a conjurer in her own right.

: Near the end of the girl's time abroad, the Seventh Umbral Calamity struck. With her guild called to act as medics on the field, the twins soon found themselves on the heels of disaster for the duration of the event. E'kari and her classmates followed the guildmasters into the chaos, assisting those who had been wounded or fallen. E'yami acted as E'kari's personal guard as she preformed field surgeries and magical healing. The two witnessed death up close on more than one occasion, finding themselves changed by the end of it all.

: After all was said and done, the girls' respective masters deemed them both students no longer. And while this was a sweet taste, it was also made bitter by the memories of carnage that now haunted them both.

: The twins returned to their desert territory as heroines who represented their tribe with valor and courage. The Nunh held festivities long into the night.It seemed as though they'd finally been accepted, but neither seemed particularly content with staying within the territory any more--not after all they had been through. Together E'yami and E'kari traveled to the Shrine of the Warden, offering an Eft in a pyre for guidance. When the flesh had melted from the bones, Azeyma's will bid they must go--for they had more to do out in the world. E'kari shared this edict with their people and with heavy hearts, they left again to find and fulfill their duties elsewhere until the time the Warden calls for them to return.

=== '''♦ Behavior ''' ===

 

: E'kari has a hard time learning in a conventional sense often requires an exceedingly patient teacher in order to have any real success. However once she does learn something--or is preforming a task she excels in--she is hard-pressed to be outshined.

: While still generally being good natured and apologetic, in combat E'kari is capable of being a formidable opponent. Being a conjurer she will often take the role of a healer, but her connection to the Elementals has also allowed to take a unique approach to martial arts. The Seeker will often harden a stone skin over her hands and feet while delivering blows, or using gales of wind to enhance her movement speed. She has named her self-made fighting style, "The Golem Step" which emphasizes momentum and fluidity. (Much of her techniques in form are inspired by real world Zui Quan)

: Despite her obvious shortcomings, E'kari is a very hopeful person and goes into every situation with optimism for success, even if she has failed at the task a hundred times before. Sometimes it's the hundred and first try that brings success.

: ● '''[[E'yami Amane]]''' - E'kari's protective fraternal twin sister, older by 7 minutes. E'yami has always been a strong source of strength, comfort and adventure as the two have grown. Though she has a very tomboyish and wears tough outer shell, E'kari knows that her sister is actually very caring and sensitive--always putting the needs of others before herself; and that is what makes her E'kari's hero.

: 💑 '''[[Vektis Sol]]''' - E'kari's boisterous, free-spirited and loveable husband. When they first met she admired his self confidence--often shyly observing him kicking down doors to shout his own name at people. There are few in the world who can raise E'kari's spirits like Vektis can. The two became close friends and then a couple shortly there after. Though many people see his behavior as a nuisance, E'kari celebrates her husband's off-beat mannerisms--unless of course they prove to be dangerous. She loves him to the end of the world and back. The two are married and have two young children together. "Yes, you have been informed correctly. Vektis is, indeed, the bestest." - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[E'kira Sol]]''' - The infant daughter of Vektis and E'kari, also commonly referred to as Kira. This tiny mixed breed of Keeper and Seeker has been though much hardship in her short life. E'kira is the sole survivor of a litter of three, making Vektis and E'kari very protective of her. Regardless of whatever situation she's in, E'kira tends to cry very little. Recently she'd begun learning to walk and talk. Already she has shown the propensity to always be making noise of some sort, just like her father.

: ● '''[[Maxwell Sol]]''' - Born to the Eft tribe--to the name E'rhaja Tia--and orphaned after his sire was defeated and overthrown by another male. E'kari picked up the kitten; she felt a kinship with him for their similar origins. Upon his arrival at Heartwood to the Sol family he was renamed by Vektis and E'kari so he might grow up feeling like he belonged. Now three cycles old, Max is shy, polite and thoughtful. Especially fond of tinkering with small shiny objects and collecting beads, rocks and shells. He has an exceptionally bright mind for a boy his age.

: ● '''[[Nicholas Nack- NPC]]''' - The ever-present summoned companion of E'kari. This carbuncle has been with E'kari throughout the Seeker's entire life as a sort of therapy animal, helping to keep her anxiety in check. With a gem layered with complex geometries: Anabel Nack made it so he and his sister creation--Whackara--could form memories; and with that, personalities. Nick is generally gentle and quiet, with a keen ability to sense people's emotional needs. As such, he tends to gravitate to people whom he suspects need comfort. Nick is aware of his own artificial intellegence and often grapples with his place in the world, as well as the loneliness that comes from his own existence. "Ploo!" - Nick

: ● '''[[Anabel Nack]]''' - Author, scientist, surgeon and parent. This quirky and frightening alchemist is the adopted mother of E'yami and E'kari. Nanabel Nabel by birth, she almost always goes by her pen-name "A.B. 'Nack'". Though her child rearing methods were always questionable at best, the most indisputable fact of it all is that Nack loves both of her girls very much. She is not above employing dark methods to ensure this mad-scientist keeps her loved ones safe. This lalafell's haunting laughter was picked up by E'kari as she was growing up. "Kuhuhuh....." - Anabel Nack

: ● '''[[Conrad Steelsong]]''' - This initially frighteningly large Ala Mhigan is actually the godparent of E'kari and Vektis' young daughter, E'kira. The four of them, as well as No'Ulla Khilik, all take up residence in the same house in the Mist. Conrad has obviously weathered the storm of many conflicts that have hardened his exterior. Despite his gruff demeanor, E'kari finds him to be a wonderful person and the closest thing to a father she's ever known.

: ● '''[[No'Ulla Khilik]]''' - The Ala Mhigan-weaver wife of Conrad Steelsong. She has recently returned from apprenticing in Ishgard to live with the Solsong household. E'kari finds her to be a skilled craftswoman and never tires of hearing about Ulla's special technique of Spell-Weaving. Ulla is a welcome addition to the family--E'kari just hopes that Vektis doesn't scare their new friend off with nonsensical antics.

: ● '''[[Nyscera Alarone]]''' - This mistress of shadowy death is a close friend of the twins' adopted mother. She is considered an aunt to E'kari and E'yami. Early on in E'kari stay at Heartwood, the dragon-riding assassin took E'kari, Bennett and Snowy in as pupils for physical and mental training. While it was grueling and at times crushing, E'kari owes her martial arts ability solely to these lessons. Nyscera taught E'kari the value of teamwork and also her how to be unphased by negative elements in her life.

: ● '''[[Rath Alarone]]''' - Nyscera's aloof husband--and by proxy--the twins' uncle. This applesauce-loving dark knight is the one that hired E'kari to work as the company alchemist--in no small part to do with the potent pain killers she was able to make for him after a fight that nearly ended in his death. He always seems have a joke lined up, even in the most bleak of situations.

: ● '''[[Bennett Cooper]]''' - E'kari's teammate and--since his adoption by Rath and Nyscera Alarone--cousin of sorts. E'kari sees Bennett as the shining future of their free company. While he makes mistakes and has a ways to go before he can truly master any of his arsenal of weapons, E'kari firmly believes this young boy is going to do great things. Could young Master Bennett be a something more than the average fighter...? "Cooper is Super..!" - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[E'vehlke Sohj]]''' - The maternal cousin of E'kari and E'yami. Vehlke is a fearless warrior with a strange accent. As she is a full blood Seeker of the Eft tribe, E'vehlke shares a striking resemblance to the twins' deceased mother.

: ● '''[[Sokhatai Borlaaq]]''' - This huntress is the wife of E'vehlke Sohj. She has a very specific way of talking. E'kari onced picked her brain about adventure and Au'Ra culture. She finds her delightful!

: ● '''[[Reina Sol]]''' - E'kari's half Keeper half Raen sister-in-law. She is the first person from Heartwood that the twins ever met, quickly taking the girls under her wing and giving them a place to stay. It was because of Reina that E'kari met Vektis. E'kari admires Reina as a strong and together person.

: ● '''[[Snowy Sol]]''' - E'kari's full miqo'te sister-in-law. Even before the two were related by marriage, E'kari has had a definite soft spot for this girl-genius in her heart. The two worked together in the clinic for some time, rather closely. In one occasion the two preformed life saving surgery on Vektis. E'kari's only qualm is that she fears this teen might be too relaxed about the dangerous world around her at times--but maybe that's just the anxiety talking.

: ● '''[[Xihvi'ir Valathri]]''' - Xihvi'ir, or 'Ashy' as the others have taken to calling him, is a kindly harp-player that has come into the service of Heartwood. Though E'kari doesn't know of his personal dealings in any intricate regard--other than his past as a gambler--she knows she can trust his character, as he is well loved by Nick. The Keeper has always loaned a helping hand to the company whenever a need arose, for that E'kari finds herself very grateful to her new friend. Though she doesn't know it yet, the two share an unexpected bond in blood.

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#4d0000; font-size:14px; color:#FFFFFF">Friends </div><div style="border:0px solid; padding:8px"> ===

: ● '''[[Sakeru Wakeru]]''' – This unsuspecting looking delivery boy has a dark past under the surface. A time ago, Sakeru divulged a portion of his history to E'kari and a few others. Oddly enough, she ended up trusting him more after learning he was a trained assassin. She was quite sad to see him leave for a time, but was much overjoyed at his return. Wherever this lalafell goes two things are a certain: death and dinner. "Did I leave the oven on..?" - Sakeru Wakeru

: ● '''[[Tustin Lafell]]''' - The first moment E'kari saw this lalafell he was being arrested on the free company lawn for the attempted armed robbery. Later when he returned to make his peace with Heartwood the two met and over time became close companions. Tustin's street-savvy, wild and hot-headed demeanor contrasts E'kari's bookish, nervous, awkwardness in a very positive way. This Dunesfolk left Heartwood some time ago to make something of himself out in the world. Since then he has begun studying medicine. He remains, to this day, one of E'kari's most treasured and beloved friends. "I'm not cute! I'm manly as hell!" - Tustin Lafell

: ● '''[[Tynos Riller]]''' - This towering black mage initially greatly frightened E'kari upon their first meeting. Perhaps it was his scar, his serious expression or his sheer size--regardless, she now knows him as a very kind-hearted and family oriented leader. He sacrifices much of himself to keep Heartwood's members safe--and frankly--works too hard. It would be a shock to find him away from the clinic for longer than a month. It's safe to say, E'kari's pharmacy has a special 'Tynos Budget' for the small fortune it takes to keep this misfortune prone Elezen on his feet. "My goodness..! Hurt again, Master Tynos...?" - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[Cioccolato Stella]]''' - Cioccolato, or Lady Cio as E'kari calls her, works as a nurse and aspiring doctor for Heartwood. This charming and kind healer can often be seen sporting pastel colors and traveling around in the company of her Demon Brick, Cenere, which is a close friend of Max. E'kari has always been very fond of this miqo'te since her arrival and is one of the few she trusts to care for Kira and Max in her absence.

: ● '''[[Kaiya Ailbhe]]''' - The librarian, chief of medicine and over-all brains of Heartwood. E'kari admires the patience of this woman but also feels horribly guilty that the actions of her free company have driven Kaiya to take up smoking. Occasionally E'kari will bring Kaiya cinnamon sticks en masse as an attempt to give her something roughly cigarette shaped to hold and suck on. It is unknown if Doctor Ailhbe actually enjoys these or if she is merely humoring E'kari. Hopefully at the very least she is not being driven to smoke those as well...

: ● '''[[Zana Amaro]]''' - An aloof gunslinger and self proclaimed alley-cat. Despite being told not to, E'kari still insists on respectfully referring to this miqo'te as Lady Zana. When this woman is armed and in a foul mood . . . heaven help her target. E'kari has seen Zana rip a man's arm clean off. However Zana does also have a soft side. When E'kari was gravely injured in an attempt on her life, Zana stationed herself in the clinic to watch over her.

: ● '''[[Narumi Kotokaze]]''' - More commonly referred to as "Kota". E'kari met this Maelstrom affiliated bounty hunter on the road when she was set upon by highwaymen--which Kota easily dispatched. Since then the Raen has been promoted to first lieutenant of the Storm-guard and assigned to work as the handler of the former pirate Skyfwyb. The officer comissions her medicine from E'kari's "Alchemist's Alley".

:● '''[[Skyfwyb Aergankawyn]]''' - E'kari was not fond of this woman in the start. The monsterous Seawolf had committed crimes against Heartwood on numerous occasions. E'kari was glad to hear of her sting and arrest by the Maelstrom. In the time that has followed, however, the curt and belligerent captain seems to have changed her ways to some extent. E'kari now views her slightly more favorably after having witnessed Skyfwyb's capacity to care genuinely for another person. It was also by the aid of this former pirate that the Solsong household was able to cross the sea to the east. As it stands now they are friends.

: ● '''[[Moralee Relen]]''' - Known to E'kari as "Mordry". This Au'Ra woman is rather complex for many reasons. Regardless E'kari cares greatly about Moralee and Mora in equal measure--although Mordry's "Moralee-half" is more familiar to her. Some time ago Mordry required E'kari's help with a somewhat risky task. This evoked the ire of her usually perpetually cheerful husband. Vektis has yet to forgive Mordry to this day, which fills the Seeker with guilt and remorse. However, because of that mission, E'kari learned how to brew a special and ancient potion she dubbed, "The Draught of the Dreamwalker".

: ● '''[[Neville Synch]]''' - This good natured marksman is the mate of Zana Amaro and the best friend of E'yami Amane. Over the period she has known him, this man has done a lot for E'kari's family which she could never repay. Though she does not know him too well personally she trusts him fully regardless. She always gets a chuckle out of the banter between Neville and Vektis.

: ● '''[[Vahn Quietfury]]''' - A sweet little boy with a curious connection to an elder dragon. E'kari first met the half lalafell on a caravan mission that was attacked. In the absence of his own mother, the Seeker would often look after Vahn when his father was away. One day when Vahn was playing with some of the other boys in the company yard he exhibited dangerous abilities. He and his father were sent away for the potential danger they posed. E'kari still loves Vahn like a son.

: ● '''[[Brandon Stormstrider]]''' - The Hyur father of Vahn Quietfury. E'kari met Brandon a short time after Vahn. The two became close friends, as the miqo'te was one of the few Heartwood members Brandon trusted. She would often do simple favors for the father and son to make their lives easier such as cleaning or bringing home pineapples. Upon their leaving to a new safehaven the Seeker found herself deeply saddend, however Brandon still sneaks over to the company on occasion. Brandon has placed E'kari under the protection of his men known only as "The Rogues".

: ● '''[[Enkhjargal Dalamiq]]''' - This stoic summoner is actually E'kari's master. He took her under his wing when she first arrived to Heartwood and had to terrorize her into being able to use her magic for anything beyond healing. His methods worked and looking back, E'kari owes him all of the strength she possesses now. Beyond that, she thinks he is a wonderful person who has natural ability with children. Who knew!

: ● '''[[Camille Everardi]]''' - Camille is Enkhjargal Dalamiq's wife and a talented mage, among many other things. E'kari has seen Camille fight in more than one way in the past with spars. She found this woman to be a strong female rolemodel for her in the past when she was just learning to fight--and still looks up to her to this day. E'kari couldn't be happier that her master and friend found happiness in each other's company.

: ● '''[[Chokho Viqqoh]]''' - A fierce, fiery and loyal amnesiac-Keeper who recently joined Heartwood. Since her arrival, Chokho and E'kari have become fast friends; bonding over their shared love of martial arts and string instruments. Though the two differ greatly in temperament and personality they have a shared respect for one another.

: ● '''[[Narumi Kotokaze]]''' - More commonly referred to as "Kota". E'kari met this Maelstrom affiliated bounty hunter on the road when she was set upon by highwaymen--which Kota easily dispatched. Since then the Raen has been promoted to first lieutenant of the Storm-guard and assigned to work as the handler of the former pirate Skyfwyb. The officer comissions her medicine from E'kari's "Alchemist's Alley". 

:● '''[[Nevrynn Alarone]]''' - While E'kari initially mistrusted the Seeker for his roguish persona and wanderlust, in resent months she has come to warm up to her sister's mate. Though she may not know him as well as she might like, he makes her sister happy. And the affection between the two are plain to see.

: ● '''[[Jake Jakkya]]''' - A red-lenses wearing void-mage who has spent a great deal of his life as a pit fighter. This spellsword is particularly close to E'kari's adopted mother, Nack, which makes him a brother of sorts. E'kari sorely wishes he would be less devil-may-care in demeanor at times, or at least care a bit more about his own life. She's always pleased when he pops up unharmed now and again. This former criminal has been blacklisted from Heartwood for his criminal debts to the Syndicate--though he has since paid them back in full, becoming an ally to the group.

: ● '''[[Ash Valken]]''' - The tall, brooding brother of Nyscera who has a strong dislike for Rath. E'kari met this former bandit spying on her a few times. Eventually the two had a sit-down conversation and became close--which was a new thing for the Au'Ra. E'kari taught Ash how to play a grasswhistle, fixed his broken hearing-aid and engaged in a playful spar. Somehow, in one way or another, most of their interactions end in awkward sexual-tension. The day Ash left Heartwood, E'kari gave him a necklace made from a strap of her doctor's bag to remember her by and encouraged him to follow his dreams.

: ● '''[[Akiyuki Okuma]]''' - The large, quiet, but overall pleasant husband of Cio who has joined Heartwood since his marriage to the plucky, pastel nursemaid. This reserved Au'Ra is a welcome addition to the family.

: ● '''[[Kenoni Eien’no]]''' - The betrothed of her friend Moralee. A stern and stoic acquaintance but never the less, E'kari admires his loyalty and commitment to Mordry. She hopes the two will have a wonderful life together with their child.

: ● '''[[J'edite Shedai]]''' - A fellow enthusiast of martial arts that spends most of her time roaming Thanalan seeking glory for the Jackal tribe. The two have had run-ins here and there as J'edite was on hunts and once sparred under the Sultan tree. The Seekers employ very different styles of their own making: while E'kari fights with her heavy handed "Golem Step" ideal for doing battle with armed and armored foes; J'edite uses fast kicks transitioning into fluid jabs in her "Fire Dancer" style that proves to be the bane of slower opponents. As it stands the two are friendly rivals.

: ● '''[[Alpon Adpon]]''' - The Pink Punisher! E'kari has met this "battle-chef" in passing more than once. The lalafell's skill in combat seems to rival his culinary prowess.

: ● '''[[Namaka Ebisu]]''' - A strange and sweet water-sprite who lives in a fountain. You want tree slugs? Because this is how you get tree slugs.

: ● '''[[Alistar Stormfist]]''' - Found by Heartwood on the road to Little Ala Mhigo, this former Garlean slave was near death and wearing a magitek collar. With no where else to go and no life to return to, this gentle giant returned with the caravan to the Heartwood Homestead.

: ● '''[[Lucinda Kovix]]''' - This kindly and capable, Ishgardian drifter met Doctor Sol as she was returning from conversing with the Everschade and her husband's chocobo ran off. Lucinda and E'kari worked together to catch the bird and got to talking about Lucy's need for work and also to find her missing brother. The Miqo'te has since come to stay at Heartwood which has overjoyed E'kari.

: ● '''[[L'nela Varya]]''' - A one-eyed woman who really enjoys taking a bite out of life! In all seriousness--L'nela is a chipper and quirky person. A little emotional at times, but rightfully so; as her recent years have been filled with trauma. Both physical and emotional. Careful, she likes to nibble!
 

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#4d0000;font-size:14px;color:#FFFFFF;">Disliked</div><div style="border:0px solid; padding:8px">===

:● '''[[Tharl Oom Khash - NPC]]''' - A being made of corruption who takes his name from his place of creation. While to most guardians of the Shroud he would be a natural enemy anyway--this thing has taken a special and terrible shine to tormenting E'kari and all of Heartwood. His track record of terrible deeds is staggering and body count ever on the rise. His most memorable in E'kari's mind were her children, Sagu'a and Cize. The vengeful mother aided in his demise by pummeling him with special stones--from Tynos and Kaiya--she formed into barbaric gauntlets.


:● '''[[The Pumpking - NPC]]''' - This strange and otherwordly being was initially just an unsettling presence that occasionally appeared in the Heartwood halls offering bargains for steep moral prices. It was not until this squash-headed man manipulated Tustin Lafell into a contract that he became E'kari's enemy. The Seeker used excessive force against the entitiy, beating him into a puddle of black ooze. He has since returned to haunt Heartwood, though has stifled a sum of E'kari's animosity toward him by fixing her carbuncle's shattered gem and helping finish off Khash for good.

:■ "She's a caring mother, and a good friend. Still a little strange, though." - [[Conrad Steelsong]]

== <div style="padding:10px 15px; background:#4d0000; font-size:20px; color:#ffffff">'''Character Trivia'''</div>==
 
:■ E'kari refers to people as 'master' or 'lady' because as a young newcomer to Gridania she was hazed by the local youths; who told her that it was how non-tribal people spoke to one another. Excited to make 'friends' the Seeker picked this up almost immediately. It was not until this was an ingrained habit that she learned it was all a ruse for E'kari to make a fool of herself every time she spoke.
:■ Despite the skill not coming up particularly often, E'kari is adept at Thavnarian belly-dancing. This and many similar styles of celebratory dance were used among she and her kin in their tribal lands; though this is actually not their people's only connection to the middle east. The dress style, use of Alchemy and herbal medicines, even their taste in food has been greatly influenced by trade with Thavnair, much like many others who reside in Thanalan.
:■ E'kari will often experience an inconsolable sense of dread when E'yami is in emotional distress or danger, even if they are far apart. This link between twins seems to go both ways.
:■ Due to E'kari's heavy aspection to Earth she is notoriously difficult to knock off her feet and has immense stamina; adversely, she is not as quick as she'd like to be and swimming in deep water takes a significant amount of energy.
:■ Though most are unaware--or attribute some of her mannerisms to merely being quirky--E'kari actually suffers from high functioning autism. Social queues tend to be her biggest hurdle, along with focusing on the big picture of tasks as opposed to minut details, and sorting out painful emotions.

<div>
=== '''♦ General''' ===
<hr>
 
: (This page has recently undergone a major rework! Check it out if you want to know what has changed!)
: This overly polite and apologetic medicine-woman can often be found scuttling about making deliveries for her shop. Due to her diligent work, E'kari's Alchemist Alley has become one of the Alchemist Guild's favored subsidiaries and is frequently called upon to do business as a representative of their organization. <div>
 



=== '''♦ Appearance''' ===
<hr>
 

: E'kari is a Seeker/Keeper half-breed who carries some physical traits from her mother and father. Her eyes are narrow slit-pupils, skin pale but capable of bronzing in the sun like a Seeker; though her fur is fluffy and tail is long like a Keeper.

: This miqo'te has a snow-print mane--white with undertones if black and grey--with pale blue eyes and bangle-stripes that frame her face.

: In true mage form--E'kari can usually be found in little to no armor, even when going into battle. It slows her down in preforming martial arts and also disrupts her casting to wear anything too heavy. Instead she prefers comfortable robes or her labcoat. <div>
 



=== '''♦ History ''' ===
<hr>
 
: The parentage of E'yami and E'kari is a taboo matter. One that the Nunh of the Eft ordered upon the strictest of penalty, never to be spoken of. While their mother--E'yari--was a Seeker and one of the designated breeding females to the Nunh; their father--Sagu'a--was actually a roving Keeper who had long since left behind a subservient life with his maternal-family in the Shroud to be a traveling poet, minstrel and anthropologist. The two Miqo'te met when Sagu'a and his scholarly lalafell companion, Anabel Nack, sought a place to rest during their travels. The tribe apprehensively took the researchers in as temporary guests. In that time Sagu'a and E'yari began a secret relationship.

:When it came to light that the two had been together Sagu'a was put to death, and his body unceremoniously left to rot in the heat of the desert just outside of their territory.

: In a double blow, not only was E'yari stricken with grief, but she also discovered she was pregnant. Due to a combination of her melancholy of her lost love, the despair at what her life would be at the whims of her Nunh and complications during the birthing process--E'yari died shortly after her second kit was delivered. The last words she managed to speak before slipping away were the names of her children. Both Doman, in honor of their father who fancied the culture. Yami, meaning dark, and Hikari meaning light--though the midwives were unfamiliar with the tongue, mistaking it simply for /E/kari.

: Upon the twins' birth into the Eft--as per tradition--the clan made a ceremonial offering of their namesake to Azeyma that would determine their role in the tribe. When the flesh was melted from the bones,their appointed wise-woman had determined E'kari was to be the next shaman while E'yami's bones were an augury that she was preordained to be a great warrior.

: The Nunh was pleased by the news and demanded celebration, but found that the females of the tribe were not nearly as thrilled. Many believed that the pale-faced kits with hair of black and white were cursed; killing their mother with ill-omen. Nack took this opportunity to offer her services in raising her friends' children and providing them with education.

:The lalafell's silver tongue managed to coerce the Nunh to allow this arrangement--given he had few other options. The three were put up in a yurt close to the Nunh's own home to keep an eye on the foreigner.

: In the years that proceeded their youth, the twins were given a proper education by the professor--in between being stolen away to be taught their duties to the Eft. While Yami practiced fighting the other tribal youths, Kari was introduced to herbal medicine, burial rites and how to divinate the future with the practice of bone reading.

: Despite the twins' diligent efforts to hone their skills and fulfill thier tribal roles, they sorely lacked any sort of companionship from the other children of the Eft--having learned from their mother's to be wary of the pale-faced Seekers. Because of this, Nack took it upon herself to try and teach the girls the basic art of carbuncle summoning and passed her own Topaz and Emerald gems down to each of them.

: Demure and plagued with anxiety, E'kari was given Nicholas--Nack's Emerald carbuncle--as a therapy animal; while E'yami received Whackara--a Topaz companion who had enough spunk and energy to keep up with her. Both arcanist-pets has served the Professor faithfully since her own youth and passed without incident into the hands of their new masters.

: As the twins neared their teenage years, an odd habit of E'kari's came to light. She could often be found speaking to the streams, winds and rock-faces in the territory which the tribe found very suspicious. Some of the more superstitious members of the tribe were convinced the was speaking to the dead; the Nunh believed this was some gift from the Warden, proving his right to rule was divine.

: Knowing better than to believe any of that, Nack speculated that this was a hereditary trait, passed down from Sagu'a, who was a Hearer. Once more the professor went to the Nunh and convinced him that he should allow her to take the twins to train abroad in Gridania that they might return more powerful and capable of serving him. He agreed to the idea and within a fortnight Nack brought the girls to the Shroud.

: Once in Gridania, E'kari joined the Conjurer's Guild as a student while E'yami sought training in both lance and bow.

: Though eager to make new friends the Seeker found this was easier said than done. The high populous of Hyur and Elezen looked condescendingly upon the tribal girls. It was not out of the ordinary for the more crude classmates to inquire if her parents were cousins. This trouble fitting in was compounded by the fact she didn't seem to learn at the same rate as everyone else. E'kari would often focus on small details of things, so much so that she could not intake an entire lesson. A classroom setting did her little credit, but during her free moments she would visit the Everschade and commune with the Elementals.

: On one such visit, a strong wind blew a small branch down from the great tree; which, E'kari took and mended with magic that it might be used as a crook.

: Due to her natural affinity for the forest and her difficulty with conventional methods of learning she was taken as a personal apprentice to Master E-Sumi-Yan, a patient Padjal who specialized in the guidance of Hearers. Discovering the trick seemed to be hands-on learning, he took every opportunity to have the Seeker accompany him while he worked. E'kari improved quickly under his tutelage, able to stand as a conjurer in her own right.

: Near the end of the girl's time abroad, the Seventh Umbral Calamity struck. With her guild called to act as medics on the field, the twins soon found themselves on the heels of disaster for the duration of the event. E'kari and her classmates followed the guildmasters into the chaos, assisting those who had been wounded or fallen. E'yami acted as E'kari's personal guard as she preformed field surgeries and magical healing. The two witnessed death up close on more than one occasion, finding themselves changed by the end of it all.

: After all was said and done, the girls' respective masters deemed them both students no longer. And while this was a sweet taste, it was also made bitter by the memories of carnage that now haunted them both.

: The twins returned to their desert territory as heroines who represented their tribe with valor and courage. The Nunh held festivities long into the night.It seemed as though they'd finally been accepted, but neither seemed particularly content with staying within the territory any more--not after all they had been through. Together E'yami and E'kari traveled to the Shrine of the Warden, offering an Eft in a pyre for guidance. When the flesh had melted from the bones, Azeyma's will bid they must go--for they had more to do out in the world. E'kari shared this edict with their people and with heavy hearts, they left again to find and fulfill their duties elsewhere until the time the Warden calls for them to return.

=== '''♦ Behavior ''' ===

 

: E'kari has a hard time learning in a conventional sense often requires an exceedingly patient teacher in order to have any real success. However once she does learn something--or is preforming a task she excels in--she is hard-pressed to be outshined.

: While still generally being good natured and apologetic, in combat E'kari is capable of being a formidable opponent. Being a conjurer she will often take the role of a healer, but her connection to the Elementals has also allowed to take a unique approach to martial arts. The Seeker will often harden a stone skin over her hands and feet while delivering blows, or using gales of wind to enhance her movement speed. She has named her self-made fighting style, "The Golem Step" which emphasizes momentum and fluidity. (Much of her techniques in form are inspired by real world Zui Quan)

: Despite her obvious shortcomings, E'kari is a very hopeful person and goes into every situation with optimism for success, even if she has failed at the task a hundred times before. Sometimes it's the hundred and first try that brings success.

: ● '''[[E'yami Amane]]''' - E'kari's protective fraternal twin sister, older by 7 minutes. E'yami has always been a strong source of strength, comfort and adventure as the two have grown. Though she has a very tomboyish and wears tough outer shell, E'kari knows that her sister is actually very caring and sensitive--always putting the needs of others before herself; and that is what makes her E'kari's hero.

: 💑 '''[[Vektis Sol]]''' - E'kari's boisterous, free-spirited and loveable husband. When they first met she admired his self confidence--often shyly observing him kicking down doors to shout his own name at people. There are few in the world who can raise E'kari's spirits like Vektis can. The two became close friends and then a couple shortly there after. Though many people see his behavior as a nuisance, E'kari celebrates her husband's off-beat mannerisms--unless of course they prove to be dangerous. She loves him to the end of the world and back. The two are married and have two young children together. "Yes, you have been informed correctly. Vektis is, indeed, the bestest." - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[E'kira Sol]]''' - The infant daughter of Vektis and E'kari, also commonly referred to as Kira. This tiny mixed breed of Keeper and Seeker has been though much hardship in her short life. E'kira is the sole survivor of a litter of three, making Vektis and E'kari very protective of her. Regardless of whatever situation she's in, E'kira tends to cry very little. Recently she'd begun learning to walk and talk. Already she has shown the propensity to always be making noise of some sort, just like her father.

: ● '''[[Maxwell Sol]]''' - Born to the Eft tribe--to the name E'rhaja Tia--and orphaned after his sire was defeated and overthrown by another male. E'kari picked up the kitten; she felt a kinship with him for their similar origins. Upon his arrival at Heartwood to the Sol family he was renamed by Vektis and E'kari so he might grow up feeling like he belonged. Now three cycles old, Max is shy, polite and thoughtful. Especially fond of tinkering with small shiny objects and collecting beads, rocks and shells. He has an exceptionally bright mind for a boy his age.

: ● '''[[Nicholas Nack- NPC]]''' - The ever-present summoned companion of E'kari. This carbuncle has been with E'kari throughout the Seeker's entire life as a sort of therapy animal, helping to keep her anxiety in check. With a gem layered with complex geometries: Anabel Nack made it so he and his sister creation--Whackara--could form memories; and with that, personalities. Nick is generally gentle and quiet, with a keen ability to sense people's emotional needs. As such, he tends to gravitate to people whom he suspects need comfort. Nick is aware of his own artificial intellegence and often grapples with his place in the world, as well as the loneliness that comes from his own existence. "Ploo!" - Nick

: ● '''[[Anabel Nack]]''' - Author, scientist, surgeon and parent. This quirky and frightening alchemist is the adopted mother of E'yami and E'kari. Nanabel Nabel by birth, she almost always goes by her pen-name "A.B. 'Nack'". Though her child rearing methods were always questionable at best, the most indisputable fact of it all is that Nack loves both of her girls very much. She is not above employing dark methods to ensure this mad-scientist keeps her loved ones safe. This lalafell's haunting laughter was picked up by E'kari as she was growing up. "Kuhuhuh....." - Anabel Nack

: ● '''[[Conrad Steelsong]]''' - This initially frighteningly large Ala Mhigan is actually the godparent of E'kari and Vektis' young daughter, E'kira. The four of them, as well as No'Ulla Khilik, all take up residence in the same house in the Mist. Conrad has obviously weathered the storm of many conflicts that have hardened his exterior. Despite his gruff demeanor, E'kari finds him to be a wonderful person and the closest thing to a father she's ever known.

: ● '''[[No'Ulla Khilik]]''' - The Ala Mhigan-weaver wife of Conrad Steelsong. She has recently returned from apprenticing in Ishgard to live with the Solsong household. E'kari finds her to be a skilled craftswoman and never tires of hearing about Ulla's special technique of Spell-Weaving. Ulla is a welcome addition to the family--E'kari just hopes that Vektis doesn't scare their new friend off with nonsensical antics.

: ● '''[[Nyscera Alarone]]''' - This mistress of shadowy death is a close friend of the twins' adopted mother. She is considered an aunt to E'kari and E'yami. Early on in E'kari stay at Heartwood, the dragon-riding assassin took E'kari, Bennett and Snowy in as pupils for physical and mental training. While it was grueling and at times crushing, E'kari owes her martial arts ability solely to these lessons. Nyscera taught E'kari the value of teamwork and also her how to be unphased by negative elements in her life.

: ● '''[[Rath Alarone]]''' - Nyscera's aloof husband--and by proxy--the twins' uncle. This applesauce-loving dark knight is the one that hired E'kari to work as the company alchemist--in no small part to do with the potent pain killers she was able to make for him after a fight that nearly ended in his death. He always seems have a joke lined up, even in the most bleak of situations.

: ● '''[[Bennett Cooper]]''' - E'kari's teammate and--since his adoption by Rath and Nyscera Alarone--cousin of sorts. E'kari sees Bennett as the shining future of their free company. While he makes mistakes and has a ways to go before he can truly master any of his arsenal of weapons, E'kari firmly believes this young boy is going to do great things. Could young Master Bennett be a something more than the average fighter...? "Cooper is Super..!" - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[E'vehlke Sohj]]''' - The maternal cousin of E'kari and E'yami. Vehlke is a fearless warrior with a strange accent. As she is a full blood Seeker of the Eft tribe, E'vehlke shares a striking resemblance to the twins' deceased mother.

: ● '''[[Sokhatai Borlaaq]]''' - This huntress is the wife of E'vehlke Sohj. She has a very specific way of talking. E'kari onced picked her brain about adventure and Au'Ra culture. She finds her delightful!

: ● '''[[Reina Sol]]''' - E'kari's half Keeper half Raen sister-in-law. She is the first person from Heartwood that the twins ever met, quickly taking the girls under her wing and giving them a place to stay. It was because of Reina that E'kari met Vektis. E'kari admires Reina as a strong and together person.

: ● '''[[Snowy Sol]]''' - E'kari's full miqo'te sister-in-law. Even before the two were related by marriage, E'kari has had a definite soft spot for this girl-genius in her heart. The two worked together in the clinic for some time, rather closely. In one occasion the two preformed life saving surgery on Vektis. E'kari's only qualm is that she fears this teen might be too relaxed about the dangerous world around her at times--but maybe that's just the anxiety talking.

: ● '''[[Xihvi'ir Valathri]]''' - Xihvi'ir, or 'Ashy' as the others have taken to calling him, is a kindly harp-player that has come into the service of Heartwood. Though E'kari doesn't know of his personal dealings in any intricate regard--other than his past as a gambler--she knows she can trust his character, as he is well loved by Nick. The Keeper has always loaned a helping hand to the company whenever a need arose, for that E'kari finds herself very grateful to her new friend. Though she doesn't know it yet, the two share an unexpected bond in blood.

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#4d0000; font-size:14px; color:#FFFFFF">Friends </div><div style="border:0px solid; padding:8px"> ===

: ● '''[[Sakeru Wakeru]]''' – This unsuspecting looking delivery boy has a dark past under the surface. A time ago, Sakeru divulged a portion of his history to E'kari and a few others. Oddly enough, she ended up trusting him more after learning he was a trained assassin. She was quite sad to see him leave for a time, but was much overjoyed at his return. Wherever this lalafell goes two things are a certain: death and dinner. "Did I leave the oven on..?" - Sakeru Wakeru

: ● '''[[Tustin Lafell]]''' - The first moment E'kari saw this lalafell he was being arrested on the free company lawn for the attempted armed robbery. Later when he returned to make his peace with Heartwood the two met and over time became close companions. Tustin's street-savvy, wild and hot-headed demeanor contrasts E'kari's bookish, nervous, awkwardness in a very positive way. This Dunesfolk left Heartwood some time ago to make something of himself out in the world. Since then he has begun studying medicine. He remains, to this day, one of E'kari's most treasured and beloved friends. "I'm not cute! I'm manly as hell!" - Tustin Lafell

: ● '''[[Tynos Riller]]''' - This towering black mage initially greatly frightened E'kari upon their first meeting. Perhaps it was his scar, his serious expression or his sheer size--regardless, she now knows him as a very kind-hearted and family oriented leader. He sacrifices much of himself to keep Heartwood's members safe--and frankly--works too hard. It would be a shock to find him away from the clinic for longer than a month. It's safe to say, E'kari's pharmacy has a special 'Tynos Budget' for the small fortune it takes to keep this misfortune prone Elezen on his feet. "My goodness..! Hurt again, Master Tynos...?" - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[Cioccolato Stella]]''' - Cioccolato, or Lady Cio as E'kari calls her, works as a nurse and aspiring doctor for Heartwood. This charming and kind healer can often be seen sporting pastel colors and traveling around in the company of her Demon Brick, Cenere, which is a close friend of Max. E'kari has always been very fond of this miqo'te since her arrival and is one of the few she trusts to care for Kira and Max in her absence.

: ● '''[[Kaiya Ailbhe]]''' - The librarian, chief of medicine and over-all brains of Heartwood. E'kari admires the patience of this woman but also feels horribly guilty that the actions of her free company have driven Kaiya to take up smoking. Occasionally E'kari will bring Kaiya cinnamon sticks en masse as an attempt to give her something roughly cigarette shaped to hold and suck on. It is unknown if Doctor Ailhbe actually enjoys these or if she is merely humoring E'kari. Hopefully at the very least she is not being driven to smoke those as well...

: ● '''[[Zana Amaro]]''' - An aloof gunslinger and self proclaimed alley-cat. Despite being told not to, E'kari still insists on respectfully referring to this miqo'te as Lady Zana. When this woman is armed and in a foul mood . . . heaven help her target. E'kari has seen Zana rip a man's arm clean off. However Zana does also have a soft side. When E'kari was gravely injured in an attempt on her life, Zana stationed herself in the clinic to watch over her.

:● '''[[Skyfwyb Aergankawyn]]''' - E'kari was not fond of this woman in the start. The monsterous Seawolf had committed crimes against Heartwood on numerous occasions. E'kari was glad to hear of her sting and arrest by the Maelstrom. In the time that has followed, however, the curt and belligerent captain seems to have changed her ways to some extent. E'kari now views her slightly more favorably after having witnessed Skyfwyb's capacity to care genuinely for another person. It was also by the aid of this former pirate that the Solsong household was able to cross the sea to the east. As it stands now they are friends.

: ● '''[[Moralee Relen]]''' - Known to E'kari as "Mordry". This Au'Ra woman is rather complex for many reasons. Regardless E'kari cares greatly about Moralee and Mora in equal measure--although Mordry's "Moralee-half" is more familiar to her. Some time ago Mordry required E'kari's help with a somewhat risky task. This evoked the ire of her usually perpetually cheerful husband. Vektis has yet to forgive Mordry to this day, which fills the Seeker with guilt and remorse. However, because of that mission, E'kari learned how to brew a special and ancient potion she dubbed, "The Draught of the Dreamwalker".

: ● '''[[Neville Synch]]''' - This good natured marksman is the mate of Zana Amaro and the best friend of E'yami Amane. Over the period she has known him, this man has done a lot for E'kari's family which she could never repay. Though she does not know him too well personally she trusts him fully regardless. She always gets a chuckle out of the banter between Neville and Vektis.

: ● '''[[Vahn Quietfury]]''' - A sweet little boy with a curious connection to an elder dragon. E'kari first met the half lalafell on a caravan mission that was attacked. In the absence of his own mother, the Seeker would often look after Vahn when his father was away. One day when Vahn was playing with some of the other boys in the company yard he exhibited dangerous abilities. He and his father were sent away for the potential danger they posed. E'kari still loves Vahn like a son.

: ● '''[[Brandon Stormstrider]]''' - The Hyur father of Vahn Quietfury. E'kari met Brandon a short time after Vahn. The two became close friends, as the miqo'te was one of the few Heartwood members Brandon trusted. She would often do simple favors for the father and son to make their lives easier such as cleaning or bringing home pineapples. Upon their leaving to a new safehaven the Seeker found herself deeply saddend, however Brandon still sneaks over to the company on occasion. Brandon has placed E'kari under the protection of his men known only as "The Rogues".

: ● '''[[Enkhjargal Dalamiq]]''' - This stoic summoner is actually E'kari's master. He took her under his wing when she first arrived to Heartwood and had to terrorize her into being able to use her magic for anything beyond healing. His methods worked and looking back, E'kari owes him all of the strength she possesses now. Beyond that, she thinks he is a wonderful person who has natural ability with children. Who knew!

: ● '''[[Camille Everardi]]''' - Camille is Enkhjargal Dalamiq's wife and a talented mage, among many other things. E'kari has seen Camille fight in more than one way in the past with spars. She found this woman to be a strong female rolemodel for her in the past when she was just learning to fight--and still looks up to her to this day. E'kari couldn't be happier that her master and friend found happiness in each other's company.

: ● '''[[Chokho Viqqoh]]''' - A fierce, fiery and loyal amnesiac-Keeper who recently joined Heartwood. Since her arrival, Chokho and E'kari have become fast friends; bonding over their shared love of martial arts and string instruments. Though the two differ greatly in temperament and personality they have a shared respect for one another.

: ● '''[[Narumi Kotokaze]]''' - More commonly referred to as "Kota". E'kari met this Maelstrom affiliated bounty hunter on the road when she was set upon by highwaymen--which Kota easily dispatched. Since then the Raen has been promoted to first lieutenant of the Storm-guard and assigned to work as the handler of the former pirate Skyfwyb. The officer comissions her medicine from E'kari's "Alchemist's Alley". 

:● '''[[Nevrynn Alarone]]''' - While E'kari initially mistrusted the Seeker for his roguish persona and wanderlust, in resent months she has come to warm up to her sister's mate. Though she may not know him as well as she might like, he makes her sister happy. And the affection between the two are plain to see.

: ● '''[[Jake Jakkya]]''' - A red-lenses wearing void-mage who has spent a great deal of his life as a pit fighter. This spellsword is particularly close to E'kari's adopted mother, Nack, which makes him a brother of sorts. E'kari sorely wishes he would be less devil-may-care in demeanor at times, or at least care a bit more about his own life. She's always pleased when he pops up unharmed now and again. This former criminal has been blacklisted from Heartwood for his criminal debts to the Syndicate--though he has since paid them back in full, becoming an ally to the group.

: ● '''[[Ash Valken]]''' - The tall, brooding brother of Nyscera who has a strong dislike for Rath. E'kari met this former bandit spying on her a few times. Eventually the two had a sit-down conversation and became close--which was a new thing for the Au'Ra. E'kari taught Ash how to play a grasswhistle, fixed his broken hearing-aid and engaged in a playful spar. Somehow, in one way or another, most of their interactions end in awkward sexual-tension. The day Ash left Heartwood, E'kari gave him a necklace made from a strap of her doctor's bag to remember her by and encouraged him to follow his dreams.

: ● '''[[Akiyuki Okuma]]''' - The large, quiet, but overall pleasant husband of Cio who has joined Heartwood since his marriage to the plucky, pastel nursemaid. This reserved Au'Ra is a welcome addition to the family.

: ● '''[[Kenoni Eien’no]]''' - The betrothed of her friend Moralee. A stern and stoic acquaintance but never the less, E'kari admires his loyalty and commitment to Mordry. She hopes the two will have a wonderful life together with their child.

: ● '''[[J'edite Shedai]]''' - A fellow enthusiast of martial arts that spends most of her time roaming Thanalan seeking glory for the Jackal tribe. The two have had run-ins here and there as J'edite was on hunts and once sparred under the Sultan tree. The Seekers employ very different styles of their own making: while E'kari fights with her heavy handed "Golem Step" ideal for doing battle with armed and armored foes; J'edite uses fast kicks transitioning into fluid jabs in her "Fire Dancer" style that proves to be the bane of slower opponents. As it stands the two are friendly rivals.

: ● '''[[Alpon Adpon]]''' - The Pink Punisher! E'kari has met this "battle-chef" in passing more than once. The lalafell's skill in combat seems to rival his culinary prowess.

: ● '''[[Namaka Ebisu]]''' - A strange and sweet water-sprite who lives in a fountain. You want tree slugs? Because this is how you get tree slugs.

: ● '''[[Alistar Stormfist]]''' - Found by Heartwood on the road to Little Ala Mhigo, this former Garlean slave was near death and wearing a magitek collar. With no where else to go and no life to return to, this gentle giant returned with the caravan to the Heartwood Homestead.

: ● '''[[Lucinda Kovix]]''' - This kindly and capable, Ishgardian drifter met Doctor Sol as she was returning from conversing with the Everschade and her husband's chocobo ran off. Lucinda and E'kari worked together to catch the bird and got to talking about Lucy's need for work and also to find her missing brother. The Miqo'te has since come to stay at Heartwood which has overjoyed E'kari.

: ● '''[[L'nela Varya]]''' - A one-eyed woman who really enjoys taking a bite out of life! In all seriousness--L'nela is a chipper and quirky person. A little emotional at times, but rightfully so; as her recent years have been filled with trauma. Both physical and emotional. Careful, she likes to nibble!

:● '''[[Tharl Oom Khash - NPC]]''' - A being made of corruption who takes his name from his place of creation. While to most guardians of the Shroud he would be a natural enemy anyway--this thing has taken a special and terrible shine to tormenting E'kari and all of Heartwood. His track record of terrible deeds is staggering and body count ever on the rise. His most memorable in E'kari's mind were her children, Sagu'a and Cize. The vengeful mother aided in his demise by pummeling him with special stones--from Tynos and Kaiya--she formed into barbaric gauntlets.


:● '''[[The Pumpking - NPC]]''' - This strange and otherwordly being was initially just an unsettling presence that occasionally appeared in the Heartwood halls offering bargains for steep moral prices. It was not until this squash-headed man manipulated Tustin Lafell into a contract that he became E'kari's enemy. The Seeker used excessive force against the entitiy, beating him into a puddle of black ooze. He has since returned to haunt Heartwood, though has stifled a sum of E'kari's animosity toward him by fixing her carbuncle's shattered gem and helping finish off Khash for good.

== <div style="padding:10px 15px; background:#4d0000; font-size:20px; color:#ffffff">'''Character Trivia'''</div>==
 
:■ E'kari refers to people as 'master' or 'lady' because as a young newcomer to Gridania she was hazed by the local youths; who told her that it was how non-tribal people spoke to one another. Excited to make 'friends' the Seeker picked this up almost immediately. It was not until this was an ingrained habit that she learned it was all a ruse for E'kari to make a fool of herself every time she spoke.
:■ Despite the skill not coming up particularly often, E'kari is adept at Thavnarian belly-dancing. This and many similar styles of celebratory dance were used among she and her kin in their tribal lands; though this is actually not their people's only connection to the middle east. The dress style, use of Alchemy and herbal medicines, even their taste in food has been greatly influenced by trade with Thavnair, much like many others who reside in Thanalan.
:■ E'kari will often experience an inconsolable sense of dread when E'yami is in emotional distress or danger, even if they are far apart. This link between twins seems to go both ways.
:■ Due to E'kari's heavy aspection to Earth she is notoriously difficult to knock off her feet and has immense stamina; adversely, she is not as quick as she'd like to be and swimming in deep water takes a significant amount of energy.
:■ Though most are unaware--or attribute some of her mannerisms to merely being quirky--E'kari actually suffers from high functioning autism. Social queues tend to be her biggest hurdle, along with focusing on the big picture of tasks as opposed to minut details, and sorting out painful emotions.

<div>
=== '''♦ General''' ===
<hr>
 
: (This page has recently undergone a major rework! Check it out if you want to know what has changed!)
: This overly polite and apologetic medicine-woman can often be found scuttling about making deliveries for her shop. Due to her diligent work, E'kari's Alchemist Alley has become one of the Alchemist Guild's favored subsidiaries and is frequently called upon to do business as a representative of their organization. <div>
 



=== '''♦ Appearance''' ===
<hr>
 

: E'kari is a Seeker/Keeper half-breed who carries some physical traits from her mother and father. Her eyes are narrow slit-pupils, skin pale but capable of bronzing in the sun like a Seeker; though her fur is fluffy and tail is long like a Keeper.

: This miqo'te has a snow-print mane--white with undertones if black and grey--with pale blue eyes and bangle-stripes that frame her face.

: In true mage form--E'kari can usually be found in little to no armor, even when going into battle. It slows her down in preforming martial arts and also disrupts her casting to wear anything too heavy. Instead she prefers comfortable robes or her labcoat. <div>
 



=== '''♦ History ''' ===
<hr>
 
: The parentage of E'yami and E'kari is a taboo matter. One that the Nunh of the Eft ordered upon the strictest of penalty, never to be spoken of. While their mother--E'yari--was a Seeker and one of the designated breeding females to the Nunh; their father--Sagu'a--was actually a roving Keeper who had long since left behind a subservient life with his maternal-family in the Shroud to be a traveling poet, minstrel and anthropologist. The two Miqo'te met when Sagu'a and his scholarly lalafell companion, Anabel Nack, sought a place to rest during their travels. The tribe apprehensively took the researchers in as temporary guests. In that time Sagu'a and E'yari began a secret relationship.

:When it came to light that the two had been together Sagu'a was put to death, and his body unceremoniously left to rot in the heat of the desert just outside of their territory.

: In a double blow, not only was E'yari stricken with grief, but she also discovered she was pregnant. Due to a combination of her melancholy of her lost love, the despair at what her life would be at the whims of her Nunh and complications during the birthing process--E'yari died shortly after her second kit was delivered. The last words she managed to speak before slipping away were the names of her children. Both Doman, in honor of their father who fancied the culture. Yami, meaning dark, and Hikari meaning light--though the midwives were unfamiliar with the tongue, mistaking it simply for /E/kari.

: Upon the twins' birth into the Eft--as per tradition--the clan made a ceremonial offering of their namesake to Azeyma that would determine their role in the tribe. When the flesh was melted from the bones,their appointed wise-woman had determined E'kari was to be the next shaman while E'yami's bones were an augury that she was preordained to be a great warrior.

: The Nunh was pleased by the news and demanded celebration, but found that the females of the tribe were not nearly as thrilled. Many believed that the pale-faced kits with hair of black and white were cursed; killing their mother with ill-omen. Nack took this opportunity to offer her services in raising her friends' children and providing them with education.

:The lalafell's silver tongue managed to coerce the Nunh to allow this arrangement--given he had few other options. The three were put up in a yurt close to the Nunh's own home to keep an eye on the foreigner.

: In the years that proceeded their youth, the twins were given a proper education by the professor--in between being stolen away to be taught their duties to the Eft. While Yami practiced fighting the other tribal youths, Kari was introduced to herbal medicine, burial rites and how to divinate the future with the practice of bone reading.

: Despite the twins' diligent efforts to hone their skills and fulfill thier tribal roles, they sorely lacked any sort of companionship from the other children of the Eft--having learned from their mother's to be wary of the pale-faced Seekers. Because of this, Nack took it upon herself to try and teach the girls the basic art of carbuncle summoning and passed her own Topaz and Emerald gems down to each of them.

: Demure and plagued with anxiety, E'kari was given Nicholas--Nack's Emerald carbuncle--as a therapy animal; while E'yami received Whackara--a Topaz companion who had enough spunk and energy to keep up with her. Both arcanist-pets has served the Professor faithfully since her own youth and passed without incident into the hands of their new masters.

: As the twins neared their teenage years, an odd habit of E'kari's came to light. She could often be found speaking to the streams, winds and rock-faces in the territory which the tribe found very suspicious. Some of the more superstitious members of the tribe were convinced the was speaking to the dead; the Nunh believed this was some gift from the Warden, proving his right to rule was divine.

: Knowing better than to believe any of that, Nack speculated that this was a hereditary trait, passed down from Sagu'a, who was a Hearer. Once more the professor went to the Nunh and convinced him that he should allow her to take the twins to train abroad in Gridania that they might return more powerful and capable of serving him. He agreed to the idea and within a fortnight Nack brought the girls to the Shroud.

: Once in Gridania, E'kari joined the Conjurer's Guild as a student while E'yami sought training in both lance and bow.

: Though eager to make new friends the Seeker found this was easier said than done. The high populous of Hyur and Elezen looked condescendingly upon the tribal girls. It was not out of the ordinary for the more crude classmates to inquire if her parents were cousins. This trouble fitting in was compounded by the fact she didn't seem to learn at the same rate as everyone else. E'kari would often focus on small details of things, so much so that she could not intake an entire lesson. A classroom setting did her little credit, but during her free moments she would visit the Everschade and commune with the Elementals.

: On one such visit, a strong wind blew a small branch down from the great tree; which, E'kari took and mended with magic that it might be used as a crook.

: Due to her natural affinity for the forest and her difficulty with conventional methods of learning she was taken as a personal apprentice to Master E-Sumi-Yan, a patient Padjal who specialized in the guidance of Hearers. Discovering the trick seemed to be hands-on learning, he took every opportunity to have the Seeker accompany him while he worked. E'kari improved quickly under his tutelage, able to stand as a conjurer in her own right.

: Near the end of the girl's time abroad, the Seventh Umbral Calamity struck. With her guild called to act as medics on the field, the twins soon found themselves on the heels of disaster for the duration of the event. E'kari and her classmates followed the guildmasters into the chaos, assisting those who had been wounded or fallen. E'yami acted as E'kari's personal guard as she preformed field surgeries and magical healing. The two witnessed death up close on more than one occasion, finding themselves changed by the end of it all.

: After all was said and done, the girls' respective masters deemed them both students no longer. And while this was a sweet taste, it was also made bitter by the memories of carnage that now haunted them both.

: The twins returned to their desert territory as heroines who represented their tribe with valor and courage. The Nunh held festivities long into the night.It seemed as though they'd finally been accepted, but neither seemed particularly content with staying within the territory any more--not after all they had been through. Together E'yami and E'kari traveled to the Shrine of the Warden, offering an Eft in a pyre for guidance. When the flesh had melted from the bones, Azeyma's will bid they must go--for they had more to do out in the world. E'kari shared this edict with their people and with heavy hearts, they left again to find and fulfill their duties elsewhere until the time the Warden calls for them to return.

=== '''♦ Behavior ''' ===

 

: E'kari has a hard time learning in a conventional sense often requires an exceedingly patient teacher in order to have any real success. However once she does learn something--or is preforming a task she excels in--she is hard-pressed to be outshined.

: While still generally being good natured and apologetic, in combat E'kari is capable of being a formidable opponent. Being a conjurer she will often take the role of a healer, but her connection to the Elementals has also allowed to take a unique approach to martial arts. The Seeker will often harden a stone skin over her hands and feet while delivering blows, or using gales of wind to enhance her movement speed. She has named her self-made fighting style, "The Golem Step" which emphasizes momentum and fluidity. (Much of her techniques in form are inspired by real world Zui Quan)

: Despite her obvious shortcomings, E'kari is a very hopeful person and goes into every situation with optimism for success, even if she has failed at the task a hundred times before. Sometimes it's the hundred and first try that brings success.

: ● '''[[E'yami Amane]]''' - E'kari's protective fraternal twin sister, older by 7 minutes. E'yami has always been a strong source of strength, comfort and adventure as the two have grown. Though she has a very tomboyish and wears tough outer shell, E'kari knows that her sister is actually very caring and sensitive--always putting the needs of others before herself; and that is what makes her E'kari's hero.

: 💑 '''[[Vektis Sol]]''' - E'kari's boisterous, free-spirited and loveable husband. When they first met she admired his self confidence--often shyly observing him kicking down doors to shout his own name at people. There are few in the world who can raise E'kari's spirits like Vektis can. The two became close friends and then a couple shortly there after. Though many people see his behavior as a nuisance, E'kari celebrates her husband's off-beat mannerisms--unless of course they prove to be dangerous. She loves him to the end of the world and back. The two are married and have two young children together. "Yes, you have been informed correctly. Vektis is, indeed, the bestest." - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[E'kira Sol]]''' - The infant daughter of Vektis and E'kari, also commonly referred to as Kira. This tiny mixed breed of Keeper and Seeker has been though much hardship in her short life. E'kira is the sole survivor of a litter of three, making Vektis and E'kari very protective of her. Regardless of whatever situation she's in, E'kira tends to cry very little. Recently she'd begun learning to walk and talk. Already she has shown the propensity to always be making noise of some sort, just like her father.

: ● '''[[Maxwell Sol]]''' - Born to the Eft tribe--to the name E'rhaja Tia--and orphaned after his sire was defeated and overthrown by another male. E'kari picked up the kitten; she felt a kinship with him for their similar origins. Upon his arrival at Heartwood to the Sol family he was renamed by Vektis and E'kari so he might grow up feeling like he belonged. Now three cycles old, Max is shy, polite and thoughtful. Especially fond of tinkering with small shiny objects and collecting beads, rocks and shells. He has an exceptionally bright mind for a boy his age.

: ● '''[[Nicholas Nack- NPC]]''' - The ever-present summoned companion of E'kari. This carbuncle has been with E'kari throughout the Seeker's entire life as a sort of therapy animal, helping to keep her anxiety in check. With a gem layered with complex geometries: Anabel Nack made it so he and his sister creation--Whackara--could form memories; and with that, personalities. Nick is generally gentle and quiet, with a keen ability to sense people's emotional needs. As such, he tends to gravitate to people whom he suspects need comfort. Nick is aware of his own artificial intellegence and often grapples with his place in the world, as well as the loneliness that comes from his own existence. "Ploo!" - Nick

: ● '''[[Anabel Nack]]''' - Author, scientist, surgeon and parent. This quirky and frightening alchemist is the adopted mother of E'yami and E'kari. Nanabel Nabel by birth, she almost always goes by her pen-name "A.B. 'Nack'". Though her child rearing methods were always questionable at best, the most indisputable fact of it all is that Nack loves both of her girls very much. She is not above employing dark methods to ensure this mad-scientist keeps her loved ones safe. This lalafell's haunting laughter was picked up by E'kari as she was growing up. "Kuhuhuh....." - Anabel Nack

: ● '''[[Conrad Steelsong]]''' - This initially frighteningly large Ala Mhigan is actually the godparent of E'kari and Vektis' young daughter, E'kira. The four of them, as well as No'Ulla Khilik, all take up residence in the same house in the Mist. Conrad has obviously weathered the storm of many conflicts that have hardened his exterior. Despite his gruff demeanor, E'kari finds him to be a wonderful person and the closest thing to a father she's ever known.

: ● '''[[No'Ulla Khilik]]''' - The Ala Mhigan-weaver wife of Conrad Steelsong. She has recently returned from apprenticing in Ishgard to live with the Solsong household. E'kari finds her to be a skilled craftswoman and never tires of hearing about Ulla's special technique of Spell-Weaving. Ulla is a welcome addition to the family--E'kari just hopes that Vektis doesn't scare their new friend off with nonsensical antics.

: ● '''[[Nyscera Alarone]]''' - This mistress of shadowy death is a close friend of the twins' adopted mother. She is considered an aunt to E'kari and E'yami. Early on in E'kari stay at Heartwood, the dragon-riding assassin took E'kari, Bennett and Snowy in as pupils for physical and mental training. While it was grueling and at times crushing, E'kari owes her martial arts ability solely to these lessons. Nyscera taught E'kari the value of teamwork and also her how to be unphased by negative elements in her life.

: ● '''[[Rath Alarone]]''' - Nyscera's aloof husband--and by proxy--the twins' uncle. This applesauce-loving dark knight is the one that hired E'kari to work as the company alchemist--in no small part to do with the potent pain killers she was able to make for him after a fight that nearly ended in his death. He always seems have a joke lined up, even in the most bleak of situations.

: ● '''[[Bennett Cooper]]''' - E'kari's teammate and--since his adoption by Rath and Nyscera Alarone--cousin of sorts. E'kari sees Bennett as the shining future of their free company. While he makes mistakes and has a ways to go before he can truly master any of his arsenal of weapons, E'kari firmly believes this young boy is going to do great things. Could young Master Bennett be a something more than the average fighter...? "Cooper is Super..!" - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[E'vehlke Sohj]]''' - The maternal cousin of E'kari and E'yami. Vehlke is a fearless warrior with a strange accent. As she is a full blood Seeker of the Eft tribe, E'vehlke shares a striking resemblance to the twins' deceased mother.

: ● '''[[Sokhatai Borlaaq]]''' - This huntress is the wife of E'vehlke Sohj. She has a very specific way of talking. E'kari onced picked her brain about adventure and Au'Ra culture. She finds her delightful!

: ● '''[[Reina Sol]]''' - E'kari's half Keeper half Raen sister-in-law. She is the first person from Heartwood that the twins ever met, quickly taking the girls under her wing and giving them a place to stay. It was because of Reina that E'kari met Vektis. E'kari admires Reina as a strong and together person.

: ● '''[[Snowy Sol]]''' - E'kari's full miqo'te sister-in-law. Even before the two were related by marriage, E'kari has had a definite soft spot for this girl-genius in her heart. The two worked together in the clinic for some time, rather closely. In one occasion the two preformed life saving surgery on Vektis. E'kari's only qualm is that she fears this teen might be too relaxed about the dangerous world around her at times--but maybe that's just the anxiety talking.

: ● '''[[Xihvi'ir Valathri]]''' - Xihvi'ir, or 'Ashy' as the others have taken to calling him, is a kindly harp-player that has come into the service of Heartwood. Though E'kari doesn't know of his personal dealings in any intricate regard--other than his past as a gambler--she knows she can trust his character, as he is well loved by Nick. The Keeper has always loaned a helping hand to the company whenever a need arose, for that E'kari finds herself very grateful to her new friend. Though she doesn't know it yet, the two share an unexpected bond in blood.

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#4d0000; font-size:14px; color:#FFFFFF">Friends </div><div style="border:0px solid; padding:8px"> ===

: ● '''[[Sakeru Wakeru]]''' – This unsuspecting looking delivery boy has a dark past under the surface. A time ago, Sakeru divulged a portion of his history to E'kari and a few others. Oddly enough, she ended up trusting him more after learning he was a trained assassin. She was quite sad to see him leave for a time, but was much overjoyed at his return. Wherever this lalafell goes two things are a certain: death and dinner. "Did I leave the oven on..?" - Sakeru Wakeru

: ● '''[[Tustin Lafell]]''' - The first moment E'kari saw this lalafell he was being arrested on the free company lawn for the attempted armed robbery. Later when he returned to make his peace with Heartwood the two met and over time became close companions. Tustin's street-savvy, wild and hot-headed demeanor contrasts E'kari's bookish, nervous, awkwardness in a very positive way. This Dunesfolk left Heartwood some time ago to make something of himself out in the world. Since then he has begun studying medicine. He remains, to this day, one of E'kari's most treasured and beloved friends. "I'm not cute! I'm manly as hell!" - Tustin Lafell

: ● '''[[Tynos Riller]]''' - This towering black mage initially greatly frightened E'kari upon their first meeting. Perhaps it was his scar, his serious expression or his sheer size--regardless, she now knows him as a very kind-hearted and family oriented leader. He sacrifices much of himself to keep Heartwood's members safe--and frankly--works too hard. It would be a shock to find him away from the clinic for longer than a month. It's safe to say, E'kari's pharmacy has a special 'Tynos Budget' for the small fortune it takes to keep this misfortune prone Elezen on his feet. "My goodness..! Hurt again, Master Tynos...?" - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[Cioccolato Stella]]''' - Cioccolato, or Lady Cio as E'kari calls her, works as a nurse and aspiring doctor for Heartwood. This charming and kind healer can often be seen sporting pastel colors and traveling around in the company of her Demon Brick, Cenere, which is a close friend of Max. E'kari has always been very fond of this miqo'te since her arrival and is one of the few she trusts to care for Kira and Max in her absence.

: ● '''[[Kaiya Ailbhe]]''' - The librarian, chief of medicine and over-all brains of Heartwood. E'kari admires the patience of this woman but also feels horribly guilty that the actions of her free company have driven Kaiya to take up smoking. Occasionally E'kari will bring Kaiya cinnamon sticks en masse as an attempt to give her something roughly cigarette shaped to hold and suck on. It is unknown if Doctor Ailhbe actually enjoys these or if she is merely humoring E'kari. Hopefully at the very least she is not being driven to smoke those as well...

: ● '''[[Zana Amaro]]''' - An aloof gunslinger and self proclaimed alley-cat. Despite being told not to, E'kari still insists on respectfully referring to this miqo'te as Lady Zana. When this woman is armed and in a foul mood . . . heaven help her target. E'kari has seen Zana rip a man's arm clean off. However Zana does also have a soft side. When E'kari was gravely injured in an attempt on her life, Zana stationed herself in the clinic to watch over her.

: ● '''[[Moralee Relen]]''' - Known to E'kari as "Mordry". This Au'Ra woman is rather complex for many reasons. Regardless E'kari cares greatly about Moralee and Mora in equal measure--although Mordry's "Moralee-half" is more familiar to her. Some time ago Mordry required E'kari's help with a somewhat risky task. This evoked the ire of her usually perpetually cheerful husband. Vektis has yet to forgive Mordry to this day, which fills the Seeker with guilt and remorse. However, because of that mission, E'kari learned how to brew a special and ancient potion she dubbed, "The Draught of the Dreamwalker".

: ● '''[[Neville Synch]]''' - This good natured marksman is the mate of Zana Amaro and the best friend of E'yami Amane. Over the period she has known him, this man has done a lot for E'kari's family which she could never repay. Though she does not know him too well personally she trusts him fully regardless. She always gets a chuckle out of the banter between Neville and Vektis.

: ● '''[[Vahn Quietfury]]''' - A sweet little boy with a curious connection to an elder dragon. E'kari first met the half lalafell on a caravan mission that was attacked. In the absence of his own mother, the Seeker would often look after Vahn when his father was away. One day when Vahn was playing with some of the other boys in the company yard he exhibited dangerous abilities. He and his father were sent away for the potential danger they posed. E'kari still loves Vahn like a son.

: ● '''[[Brandon Stormstrider]]''' - The Hyur father of Vahn Quietfury. E'kari met Brandon a short time after Vahn. The two became close friends, as the miqo'te was one of the few Heartwood members Brandon trusted. She would often do simple favors for the father and son to make their lives easier such as cleaning or bringing home pineapples. Upon their leaving to a new safehaven the Seeker found herself deeply saddend, however Brandon still sneaks over to the company on occasion. Brandon has placed E'kari under the protection of his men known only as "The Rogues".

: ● '''[[Enkhjargal Dalamiq]]''' - This stoic summoner is actually E'kari's master. He took her under his wing when she first arrived to Heartwood and had to terrorize her into being able to use her magic for anything beyond healing. His methods worked and looking back, E'kari owes him all of the strength she possesses now. Beyond that, she thinks he is a wonderful person who has natural ability with children. Who knew!

: ● '''[[Camille Everardi]]''' - Camille is Enkhjargal Dalamiq's wife and a talented mage, among many other things. E'kari has seen Camille fight in more than one way in the past with spars. She found this woman to be a strong female rolemodel for her in the past when she was just learning to fight--and still looks up to her to this day. E'kari couldn't be happier that her master and friend found happiness in each other's company.

: ● '''[[Chokho Viqqoh]]''' - A fierce, fiery and loyal amnesiac-Keeper who recently joined Heartwood. Since her arrival, Chokho and E'kari have become fast friends; bonding over their shared love of martial arts and string instruments. Though the two differ greatly in temperament and personality they have a shared respect for one another.

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#4d0000;font-size:14px;color:#FFFFFF;">Acquaintances</div><div style="border:0px solid; padding:8px">===

: ● '''[[Narumi Kotokaze]]''' - More commonly referred to as "Kota". E'kari met this Maelstrom affiliated bounty hunter on the road when she was set upon by highwaymen--which Kota easily dispatched. Since then the Raen has been promoted to first lieutenant of the Storm-guard and assigned to work as the handler of the former pirate Skyfwyb. The officer comissions her medicine from E'kari's "Alchemist's Alley". 

:● '''[[Nevrynn Alarone]]''' - While E'kari initially mistrusted the Seeker for his roguish persona and wanderlust, in resent months she has come to warm up to her sister's mate. Though she may not know him as well as she might like, he makes her sister happy. And the affection between the two are plain to see.

: ● '''[[Jake Jakkya]]''' - A red-lenses wearing void-mage who has spent a great deal of his life as a pit fighter. This spellsword is particularly close to E'kari's adopted mother, Nack, which makes him a brother of sorts. E'kari sorely wishes he would be less devil-may-care in demeanor at times, or at least care a bit more about his own life. She's always pleased when he pops up unharmed now and again. This former criminal has been blacklisted from Heartwood for his criminal debts to the Syndicate--though he has since paid them back in full, becoming an ally to the group.

: ● '''[[Ash Valken]]''' - The tall, brooding brother of Nyscera who has a strong dislike for Rath. E'kari met this former bandit spying on her a few times. Eventually the two had a sit-down conversation and became close--which was a new thing for the Au'Ra. E'kari taught Ash how to play a grasswhistle, fixed his broken hearing-aid and engaged in a playful spar. Somehow, in one way or another, most of their interactions end in awkward sexual-tension. The day Ash left Heartwood, E'kari gave him a necklace made from a strap of her doctor's bag to remember her by and encouraged him to follow his dreams.

: ● '''[[Akiyuki Okuma]]''' - The large, quiet, but overall pleasant husband of Cio who has joined Heartwood since his marriage to the plucky, pastel nursemaid. This reserved Au'Ra is a welcome addition to the family.

: ● '''[[Kenoni Eien’no]]''' - The betrothed of her friend Moralee. A stern and stoic acquaintance but never the less, E'kari admires his loyalty and commitment to Mordry. She hopes the two will have a wonderful life together with their child.

: ● '''[[J'edite Shedai]]''' - A fellow enthusiast of martial arts that spends most of her time roaming Thanalan seeking glory for the Jackal tribe. The two have had run-ins here and there as J'edite was on hunts and once sparred under the Sultan tree. The Seekers employ very different styles of their own making: while E'kari fights with her heavy handed "Golem Step" ideal for doing battle with armed and armored foes; J'edite uses fast kicks transitioning into fluid jabs in her "Fire Dancer" style that proves to be the bane of slower opponents. As it stands the two are friendly rivals.

: ● '''[[Alpon Adpon]]''' - The Pink Punisher! E'kari has met this "battle-chef" in passing more than once. The lalafell's skill in combat seems to rival his culinary prowess.

: ● '''[[Namaka Ebisu]]''' - A strange and sweet water-sprite who lives in a fountain. You want tree slugs? Because this is how you get tree slugs.

: ● '''[[Alistar Stormfist]]''' - Found by Heartwood on the road to Little Ala Mhigo, this former Garlean slave was near death and wearing a magitek collar. With no where else to go and no life to return to, this gentle giant returned with the caravan to the Heartwood Homestead.

: ● '''[[Lucinda Kovix]]''' - This kindly and capable, Ishgardian drifter met Doctor Sol as she was returning from conversing with the Everschade and her husband's chocobo ran off. Lucinda and E'kari worked together to catch the bird and got to talking about Lucy's need for work and also to find her missing brother. The Miqo'te has since come to stay at Heartwood which has overjoyed E'kari.

: ● '''[[L'nela Varya]]''' - A one-eyed woman who really enjoys taking a bite out of life! In all seriousness--L'nela is a chipper and quirky person. A little emotional at times, but rightfully so; as her recent years have been filled with trauma. Both physical and emotional. Careful, she likes to nibble!
 

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#4d0000;font-size:14px;color:#FFFFFF;">Disliked</div><div style="border:0px solid; padding:8px">===

:● '''[[Tharl Oom Khash - NPC]]''' - A being made of corruption who takes his name from his place of creation. While to most guardians of the Shroud he would be a natural enemy anyway--this thing has taken a special and terrible shine to tormenting E'kari and all of Heartwood. His track record of terrible deeds is staggering and body count ever on the rise. His most memorable in E'kari's mind were her children, Sagu'a and Cize. The vengeful mother aided in his demise by pummeling him with special stones--from Tynos and Kaiya--she formed into barbaric gauntlets.


:● '''[[The Pumpking - NPC]]''' - This strange and otherwordly being was initially just an unsettling presence that occasionally appeared in the Heartwood halls offering bargains for steep moral prices. It was not until this squash-headed man manipulated Tustin Lafell into a contract that he became E'kari's enemy. The Seeker used excessive force against the entitiy, beating him into a puddle of black ooze. He has since returned to haunt Heartwood, though has stifled a sum of E'kari's animosity toward him by fixing her carbuncle's shattered gem and helping finish off Khash for good.

== <div style="padding:10px 15px; background:#4d0000; font-size:20px; color:#ffffff">'''Character Trivia'''</div>==
 
:■ E'kari refers to people as 'master' or 'lady' because as a young newcomer to Gridania she was hazed by the local youths; who told her that it was how non-tribal people spoke to one another. Excited to make 'friends' the Seeker picked this up almost immediately. It was not until this was an ingrained habit that she learned it was all a ruse for E'kari to make a fool of herself every time she spoke.
:■ Despite the skill not coming up particularly often, E'kari is adept at Thavnarian belly-dancing. This and many similar styles of celebratory dance were used among she and her kin in their tribal lands; though this is actually not their people's only connection to the middle east. The dress style, use of Alchemy and herbal medicines, even their taste in food has been greatly influenced by trade with Thavnair, much like many others who reside in Thanalan.
:■ E'kari will often experience an inconsolable sense of dread when E'yami is in emotional distress or danger, even if they are far apart. This link between twins seems to go both ways.
:■ Due to E'kari's heavy aspection to Earth she is notoriously difficult to knock off her feet and has immense stamina; adversely, she is not as quick as she'd like to be and swimming in deep water takes a significant amount of energy.
:■ Though most are unaware--or attribute some of her mannerisms to merely being quirky--E'kari actually suffers from high functioning autism. Social queues tend to be her biggest hurdle, along with focusing on the big picture of tasks as opposed to minut details, and sorting out painful emotions.

<div>
=== '''♦ General''' ===
<hr>
 
: (This page has recently undergone a major rework! Check it out if you want to know what has changed!)
: This overly polite and apologetic medicine-woman can often be found scuttling about making deliveries for her shop. Due to her diligent work, E'kari's Alchemist Alley has become one of the Alchemist Guild's favored subsidiaries and is frequently called upon to do business as a representative of their organization. <div>
 



=== '''♦ Appearance''' ===
<hr>
 

: E'kari is a Seeker/Keeper half-breed who carries some physical traits from her mother and father. Her eyes are narrow slit-pupils, skin pale but capable of bronzing in the sun like a Seeker; though her fur is fluffy and tail is long like a Keeper.

: This miqo'te has a snow-print mane--white with undertones if black and grey--with pale blue eyes and bangle-stripes that frame her face.

: In true mage form--E'kari can usually be found in little to no armor, even when going into battle. It slows her down in preforming martial arts and also disrupts her casting to wear anything too heavy. Instead she prefers comfortable robes or her labcoat. <div>
 



=== '''♦ History ''' ===
<hr>
 
: The parentage of E'yami and E'kari is a taboo matter. One that the Nunh of the Eft ordered upon the strictest of penalty, never to be spoken of. While their mother--E'yari--was a Seeker and one of the designated breeding females to the Nunh; their father--Sagu'a--was actually a roving Keeper who had long since left behind a subservient life with his maternal-family in the Shroud to be a traveling poet, minstrel and anthropologist. The two Miqo'te met when Sagu'a and his scholarly lalafell companion, Anabel Nack, sought a place to rest during their travels. The tribe apprehensively took the researchers in as temporary guests. In that time Sagu'a and E'yari began a secret relationship.

:When it came to light that the two had been together Sagu'a was put to death, and his body unceremoniously left to rot in the heat of the desert just outside of their territory.

: In a double blow, not only was E'yari stricken with grief, but she also discovered she was pregnant. Due to a combination of her melancholy of her lost love, the despair at what her life would be at the whims of her Nunh and complications during the birthing process--E'yari died shortly after her second kit was delivered. The last words she managed to speak before slipping away were the names of her children. Both Doman, in honor of their father who fancied the culture. Yami, meaning dark, and Hikari meaning light--though the midwives were unfamiliar with the tongue, mistaking it simply for /E/kari.

: Upon the twins' birth into the Eft--as per tradition--the clan made a ceremonial offering of their namesake to Azeyma that would determine their role in the tribe. When the flesh was melted from the bones,their appointed wise-woman had determined E'kari was to be the next shaman while E'yami's bones were an augury that she was preordained to be a great warrior.

: The Nunh was pleased by the news and demanded celebration, but found that the females of the tribe were not nearly as thrilled. Many believed that the pale-faced kits with hair of black and white were cursed; killing their mother with ill-omen. Nack took this opportunity to offer her services in raising her friends' children and providing them with education.

:The lalafell's silver tongue managed to coerce the Nunh to allow this arrangement--given he had few other options. The three were put up in a yurt close to the Nunh's own home to keep an eye on the foreigner.

: In the years that proceeded their youth, the twins were given a proper education by the professor--in between being stolen away to be taught their duties to the Eft. While Yami practiced fighting the other tribal youths, Kari was introduced to herbal medicine, burial rites and how to divinate the future with the practice of bone reading.

: Despite the twins' diligent efforts to hone their skills and fulfill thier tribal roles, they sorely lacked any sort of companionship from the other children of the Eft--having learned from their mother's to be wary of the pale-faced Seekers. Because of this, Nack took it upon herself to try and teach the girls the basic art of carbuncle summoning and passed her own Topaz and Emerald gems down to each of them.

: Demure and plagued with anxiety, E'kari was given Nicholas--Nack's Emerald carbuncle--as a therapy animal; while E'yami received Whackara--a Topaz companion who had enough spunk and energy to keep up with her. Both arcanist-pets has served the Professor faithfully since her own youth and passed without incident into the hands of their new masters.

: As the twins neared their teenage years, an odd habit of E'kari's came to light. She could often be found speaking to the streams, winds and rock-faces in the territory which the tribe found very suspicious. Some of the more superstitious members of the tribe were convinced the was speaking to the dead; the Nunh believed this was some gift from the Warden, proving his right to rule was divine.

: Knowing better than to believe any of that, Nack speculated that this was a hereditary trait, passed down from Sagu'a, who was a Hearer. Once more the professor went to the Nunh and convinced him that he should allow her to take the twins to train abroad in Gridania that they might return more powerful and capable of serving him. He agreed to the idea and within a fortnight Nack brought the girls to the Shroud.

: Once in Gridania, E'kari joined the Conjurer's Guild as a student while E'yami sought training in both lance and bow.

: Though eager to make new friends the Seeker found this was easier said than done. The high populous of Hyur and Elezen looked condescendingly upon the tribal girls. It was not out of the ordinary for the more crude classmates to inquire if her parents were cousins. This trouble fitting in was compounded by the fact she didn't seem to learn at the same rate as everyone else. E'kari would often focus on small details of things, so much so that she could not intake an entire lesson. A classroom setting did her little credit, but during her free moments she would visit the Everschade and commune with the Elementals.

: On one such visit, a strong wind blew a small branch down from the great tree; which, E'kari took and mended with magic that it might be used as a crook.

: Due to her natural affinity for the forest and her difficulty with conventional methods of learning she was taken as a personal apprentice to Master E-Sumi-Yan, a patient Padjal who specialized in the guidance of Hearers. Discovering the trick seemed to be hands-on learning, he took every opportunity to have the Seeker accompany him while he worked. E'kari improved quickly under his tutelage, able to stand as a conjurer in her own right.

: Near the end of the girl's time abroad, the Seventh Umbral Calamity struck. With her guild called to act as medics on the field, the twins soon found themselves on the heels of disaster for the duration of the event. E'kari and her classmates followed the guildmasters into the chaos, assisting those who had been wounded or fallen. E'yami acted as E'kari's personal guard as she preformed field surgeries and magical healing. The two witnessed death up close on more than one occasion, finding themselves changed by the end of it all.

: After all was said and done, the girls' respective masters deemed them both students no longer. And while this was a sweet taste, it was also made bitter by the memories of carnage that now haunted them both.

: The twins returned to their desert territory as heroines who represented their tribe with valor and courage. The Nunh held festivities long into the night.It seemed as though they'd finally been accepted, but neither seemed particularly content with staying within the territory any more--not after all they had been through. Together E'yami and E'kari traveled to the Shrine of the Warden, offering an Eft in a pyre for guidance. When the flesh had melted from the bones, Azeyma's will bid they must go--for they had more to do out in the world. E'kari shared this edict with their people and with heavy hearts, they left again to find and fulfill their duties elsewhere until the time the Warden calls for them to return.

=== '''♦ Behavior ''' ===

 

: E'kari has a hard time learning in a conventional sense often requires an exceedingly patient teacher in order to have any real success. However once she does learn something--or is preforming a task she excels in--she is hard-pressed to be outshined.

: While still generally being good natured and apologetic, in combat E'kari is capable of being a formidable opponent. Being a conjurer she will often take the role of a healer, but her connection to the Elementals has also allowed to take a unique approach to martial arts. The Seeker will often harden a stone skin over her hands and feet while delivering blows, or using gales of wind to enhance her movement speed. She has named her self-made fighting style, "The Golem Step" which emphasizes momentum and fluidity. (Much of her techniques in form are inspired by real world Zui Quan)

: Despite her obvious shortcomings, E'kari is a very hopeful person and goes into every situation with optimism for success, even if she has failed at the task a hundred times before. Sometimes it's the hundred and first try that brings success.

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#4d0000; font-size:14px; color:#FFFFFF">Family </div><div style="border:0px solid; padding:8px"> ===

: ● '''[[E'yami Amane]]''' - E'kari's protective fraternal twin sister, older by 7 minutes. E'yami has always been a strong source of strength, comfort and adventure as the two have grown. Though she has a very tomboyish and wears tough outer shell, E'kari knows that her sister is actually very caring and sensitive--always putting the needs of others before herself; and that is what makes her E'kari's hero.

: 💑 '''[[Vektis Sol]]''' - E'kari's boisterous, free-spirited and loveable husband. When they first met she admired his self confidence--often shyly observing him kicking down doors to shout his own name at people. There are few in the world who can raise E'kari's spirits like Vektis can. The two became close friends and then a couple shortly there after. Though many people see his behavior as a nuisance, E'kari celebrates her husband's off-beat mannerisms--unless of course they prove to be dangerous. She loves him to the end of the world and back. The two are married and have two young children together. "Yes, you have been informed correctly. Vektis is, indeed, the bestest." - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[E'kira Sol]]''' - The infant daughter of Vektis and E'kari, also commonly referred to as Kira. This tiny mixed breed of Keeper and Seeker has been though much hardship in her short life. E'kira is the sole survivor of a litter of three, making Vektis and E'kari very protective of her. Regardless of whatever situation she's in, E'kira tends to cry very little. Recently she'd begun learning to walk and talk. Already she has shown the propensity to always be making noise of some sort, just like her father.

: ● '''[[Maxwell Sol]]''' - Born to the Eft tribe--to the name E'rhaja Tia--and orphaned after his sire was defeated and overthrown by another male. E'kari picked up the kitten; she felt a kinship with him for their similar origins. Upon his arrival at Heartwood to the Sol family he was renamed by Vektis and E'kari so he might grow up feeling like he belonged. Now three cycles old, Max is shy, polite and thoughtful. Especially fond of tinkering with small shiny objects and collecting beads, rocks and shells. He has an exceptionally bright mind for a boy his age.

: ● '''[[Nicholas Nack- NPC]]''' - The ever-present summoned companion of E'kari. This carbuncle has been with E'kari throughout the Seeker's entire life as a sort of therapy animal, helping to keep her anxiety in check. With a gem layered with complex geometries: Anabel Nack made it so he and his sister creation--Whackara--could form memories; and with that, personalities. Nick is generally gentle and quiet, with a keen ability to sense people's emotional needs. As such, he tends to gravitate to people whom he suspects need comfort. Nick is aware of his own artificial intellegence and often grapples with his place in the world, as well as the loneliness that comes from his own existence. "Ploo!" - Nick

: ● '''[[Anabel Nack]]''' - Author, scientist, surgeon and parent. This quirky and frightening alchemist is the adopted mother of E'yami and E'kari. Nanabel Nabel by birth, she almost always goes by her pen-name "A.B. 'Nack'". Though her child rearing methods were always questionable at best, the most indisputable fact of it all is that Nack loves both of her girls very much. She is not above employing dark methods to ensure this mad-scientist keeps her loved ones safe. This lalafell's haunting laughter was picked up by E'kari as she was growing up. "Kuhuhuh....." - Anabel Nack

: ● '''[[Conrad Steelsong]]''' - This initially frighteningly large Ala Mhigan is actually the godparent of E'kari and Vektis' young daughter, E'kira. The four of them, as well as No'Ulla Khilik, all take up residence in the same house in the Mist. Conrad has obviously weathered the storm of many conflicts that have hardened his exterior. Despite his gruff demeanor, E'kari finds him to be a wonderful person and the closest thing to a father she's ever known.

: ● '''[[No'Ulla Khilik]]''' - The Ala Mhigan-weaver wife of Conrad Steelsong. She has recently returned from apprenticing in Ishgard to live with the Solsong household. E'kari finds her to be a skilled craftswoman and never tires of hearing about Ulla's special technique of Spell-Weaving. Ulla is a welcome addition to the family--E'kari just hopes that Vektis doesn't scare their new friend off with nonsensical antics.

: ● '''[[Nyscera Alarone]]''' - This mistress of shadowy death is a close friend of the twins' adopted mother. She is considered an aunt to E'kari and E'yami. Early on in E'kari stay at Heartwood, the dragon-riding assassin took E'kari, Bennett and Snowy in as pupils for physical and mental training. While it was grueling and at times crushing, E'kari owes her martial arts ability solely to these lessons. Nyscera taught E'kari the value of teamwork and also her how to be unphased by negative elements in her life.

: ● '''[[Rath Alarone]]''' - Nyscera's aloof husband--and by proxy--the twins' uncle. This applesauce-loving dark knight is the one that hired E'kari to work as the company alchemist--in no small part to do with the potent pain killers she was able to make for him after a fight that nearly ended in his death. He always seems have a joke lined up, even in the most bleak of situations.

: ● '''[[Bennett Cooper]]''' - E'kari's teammate and--since his adoption by Rath and Nyscera Alarone--cousin of sorts. E'kari sees Bennett as the shining future of their free company. While he makes mistakes and has a ways to go before he can truly master any of his arsenal of weapons, E'kari firmly believes this young boy is going to do great things. Could young Master Bennett be a something more than the average fighter...? "Cooper is Super..!" - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[E'vehlke Sohj]]''' - The maternal cousin of E'kari and E'yami. Vehlke is a fearless warrior with a strange accent. As she is a full blood Seeker of the Eft tribe, E'vehlke shares a striking resemblance to the twins' deceased mother.

: ● '''[[Sokhatai Borlaaq]]''' - This huntress is the wife of E'vehlke Sohj. She has a very specific way of talking. E'kari onced picked her brain about adventure and Au'Ra culture. She finds her delightful!

: ● '''[[Reina Sol]]''' - E'kari's half Keeper half Raen sister-in-law. She is the first person from Heartwood that the twins ever met, quickly taking the girls under her wing and giving them a place to stay. It was because of Reina that E'kari met Vektis. E'kari admires Reina as a strong and together person.

: ● '''[[Snowy Sol]]''' - E'kari's full miqo'te sister-in-law. Even before the two were related by marriage, E'kari has had a definite soft spot for this girl-genius in her heart. The two worked together in the clinic for some time, rather closely. In one occasion the two preformed life saving surgery on Vektis. E'kari's only qualm is that she fears this teen might be too relaxed about the dangerous world around her at times--but maybe that's just the anxiety talking.

: ● '''[[Xihvi'ir Valathri]]''' - Xihvi'ir, or 'Ashy' as the others have taken to calling him, is a kindly harp-player that has come into the service of Heartwood. Though E'kari doesn't know of his personal dealings in any intricate regard--other than his past as a gambler--she knows she can trust his character, as he is well loved by Nick. The Keeper has always loaned a helping hand to the company whenever a need arose, for that E'kari finds herself very grateful to her new friend. Though she doesn't know it yet, the two share an unexpected bond in blood.

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#4d0000; font-size:14px; color:#FFFFFF">Friends </div><div style="border:0px solid; padding:8px"> ===

: ● '''[[Sakeru Wakeru]]''' – This unsuspecting looking delivery boy has a dark past under the surface. A time ago, Sakeru divulged a portion of his history to E'kari and a few others. Oddly enough, she ended up trusting him more after learning he was a trained assassin. She was quite sad to see him leave for a time, but was much overjoyed at his return. Wherever this lalafell goes two things are a certain: death and dinner. "Did I leave the oven on..?" - Sakeru Wakeru

: ● '''[[Tustin Lafell]]''' - The first moment E'kari saw this lalafell he was being arrested on the free company lawn for the attempted armed robbery. Later when he returned to make his peace with Heartwood the two met and over time became close companions. Tustin's street-savvy, wild and hot-headed demeanor contrasts E'kari's bookish, nervous, awkwardness in a very positive way. This Dunesfolk left Heartwood some time ago to make something of himself out in the world. Since then he has begun studying medicine. He remains, to this day, one of E'kari's most treasured and beloved friends. "I'm not cute! I'm manly as hell!" - Tustin Lafell

: ● '''[[Tynos Riller]]''' - This towering black mage initially greatly frightened E'kari upon their first meeting. Perhaps it was his scar, his serious expression or his sheer size--regardless, she now knows him as a very kind-hearted and family oriented leader. He sacrifices much of himself to keep Heartwood's members safe--and frankly--works too hard. It would be a shock to find him away from the clinic for longer than a month. It's safe to say, E'kari's pharmacy has a special 'Tynos Budget' for the small fortune it takes to keep this misfortune prone Elezen on his feet. "My goodness..! Hurt again, Master Tynos...?" - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[Cioccolato Stella]]''' - Cioccolato, or Lady Cio as E'kari calls her, works as a nurse and aspiring doctor for Heartwood. This charming and kind healer can often be seen sporting pastel colors and traveling around in the company of her Demon Brick, Cenere, which is a close friend of Max. E'kari has always been very fond of this miqo'te since her arrival and is one of the few she trusts to care for Kira and Max in her absence.

: ● '''[[Kaiya Ailbhe]]''' - The librarian, chief of medicine and over-all brains of Heartwood. E'kari admires the patience of this woman but also feels horribly guilty that the actions of her free company have driven Kaiya to take up smoking. Occasionally E'kari will bring Kaiya cinnamon sticks en masse as an attempt to give her something roughly cigarette shaped to hold and suck on. It is unknown if Doctor Ailhbe actually enjoys these or if she is merely humoring E'kari. Hopefully at the very least she is not being driven to smoke those as well...

: ● '''[[Zana Amaro]]''' - An aloof gunslinger and self proclaimed alley-cat. Despite being told not to, E'kari still insists on respectfully referring to this miqo'te as Lady Zana. When this woman is armed and in a foul mood . . . heaven help her target. E'kari has seen Zana rip a man's arm clean off. However Zana does also have a soft side. When E'kari was gravely injured in an attempt on her life, Zana stationed herself in the clinic to watch over her.

: ● '''[[Moralee Relen]]''' - Known to E'kari as "Mordry". This Au'Ra woman is rather complex for many reasons. Regardless E'kari cares greatly about Moralee and Mora in equal measure--although Mordry's "Moralee-half" is more familiar to her. Some time ago Mordry required E'kari's help with a somewhat risky task. This evoked the ire of her usually perpetually cheerful husband. Vektis has yet to forgive Mordry to this day, which fills the Seeker with guilt and remorse. However, because of that mission, E'kari learned how to brew a special and ancient potion she dubbed, "The Draught of the Dreamwalker".

: ● '''[[Neville Synch]]''' - This good natured marksman is the mate of Zana Amaro and the best friend of E'yami Amane. Over the period she has known him, this man has done a lot for E'kari's family which she could never repay. Though she does not know him too well personally she trusts him fully regardless. She always gets a chuckle out of the banter between Neville and Vektis.

: ● '''[[Vahn Quietfury]]''' - A sweet little boy with a curious connection to an elder dragon. E'kari first met the half lalafell on a caravan mission that was attacked. In the absence of his own mother, the Seeker would often look after Vahn when his father was away. One day when Vahn was playing with some of the other boys in the company yard he exhibited dangerous abilities. He and his father were sent away for the potential danger they posed. E'kari still loves Vahn like a son.

: ● '''[[Brandon Stormstrider]]''' - The Hyur father of Vahn Quietfury. E'kari met Brandon a short time after Vahn. The two became close friends, as the miqo'te was one of the few Heartwood members Brandon trusted. She would often do simple favors for the father and son to make their lives easier such as cleaning or bringing home pineapples. Upon their leaving to a new safehaven the Seeker found herself deeply saddend, however Brandon still sneaks over to the company on occasion. Brandon has placed E'kari under the protection of his men known only as "The Rogues".

: ● '''[[Enkhjargal Dalamiq]]''' - This stoic summoner is actually E'kari's master. He took her under his wing when she first arrived to Heartwood and had to terrorize her into being able to use her magic for anything beyond healing. His methods worked and looking back, E'kari owes him all of the strength she possesses now. Beyond that, she thinks he is a wonderful person who has natural ability with children. Who knew!

: ● '''[[Camille Everardi]]''' - Camille is Enkhjargal Dalamiq's wife and a talented mage, among many other things. E'kari has seen Camille fight in more than one way in the past with spars. She found this woman to be a strong female rolemodel for her in the past when she was just learning to fight--and still looks up to her to this day. E'kari couldn't be happier that her master and friend found happiness in each other's company.

: ● '''[[Chokho Viqqoh]]''' - A fierce, fiery and loyal amnesiac-Keeper who recently joined Heartwood. Since her arrival, Chokho and E'kari have become fast friends; bonding over their shared love of martial arts and string instruments. Though the two differ greatly in temperament and personality they have a shared respect for one another.

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#4d0000;font-size:14px;color:#FFFFFF;">Acquaintances</div><div style="border:0px solid; padding:8px">===

: ● '''[[Narumi Kotokaze]]''' - More commonly referred to as "Kota". E'kari met this Maelstrom affiliated bounty hunter on the road when she was set upon by highwaymen--which Kota easily dispatched. Since then the Raen has been promoted to first lieutenant of the Storm-guard and assigned to work as the handler of the former pirate Skyfwyb. The officer comissions her medicine from E'kari's "Alchemist's Alley". 

:● '''[[Nevrynn Alarone]]''' - While E'kari initially mistrusted the Seeker for his roguish persona and wanderlust, in resent months she has come to warm up to her sister's mate. Though she may not know him as well as she might like, he makes her sister happy. And the affection between the two are plain to see.

: ● '''[[Jake Jakkya]]''' - A red-lenses wearing void-mage who has spent a great deal of his life as a pit fighter. This spellsword is particularly close to E'kari's adopted mother, Nack, which makes him a brother of sorts. E'kari sorely wishes he would be less devil-may-care in demeanor at times, or at least care a bit more about his own life. She's always pleased when he pops up unharmed now and again. This former criminal has been blacklisted from Heartwood for his criminal debts to the Syndicate--though he has since paid them back in full, becoming an ally to the group.

: ● '''[[Ash Valken]]''' - The tall, brooding brother of Nyscera who has a strong dislike for Rath. E'kari met this former bandit spying on her a few times. Eventually the two had a sit-down conversation and became close--which was a new thing for the Au'Ra. E'kari taught Ash how to play a grasswhistle, fixed his broken hearing-aid and engaged in a playful spar. Somehow, in one way or another, most of their interactions end in awkward sexual-tension. The day Ash left Heartwood, E'kari gave him a necklace made from a strap of her doctor's bag to remember her by and encouraged him to follow his dreams.

: ● '''[[Akiyuki Okuma]]''' - The large, quiet, but overall pleasant husband of Cio who has joined Heartwood since his marriage to the plucky, pastel nursemaid. This reserved Au'Ra is a welcome addition to the family.

: ● '''[[Kenoni Eien’no]]''' - The betrothed of her friend Moralee. A stern and stoic acquaintance but never the less, E'kari admires his loyalty and commitment to Mordry. She hopes the two will have a wonderful life together with their child.

: ● '''[[J'edite Shedai]]''' - A fellow enthusiast of martial arts that spends most of her time roaming Thanalan seeking glory for the Jackal tribe. The two have had run-ins here and there as J'edite was on hunts and once sparred under the Sultan tree. The Seekers employ very different styles of their own making: while E'kari fights with her heavy handed "Golem Step" ideal for doing battle with armed and armored foes; J'edite uses fast kicks transitioning into fluid jabs in her "Fire Dancer" style that proves to be the bane of slower opponents. As it stands the two are friendly rivals.

: ● '''[[Alpon Adpon]]''' - The Pink Punisher! E'kari has met this "battle-chef" in passing more than once. The lalafell's skill in combat seems to rival his culinary prowess.

: ● '''[[Namaka Ebisu]]''' - A strange and sweet water-sprite who lives in a fountain. You want tree slugs? Because this is how you get tree slugs.

: ● '''[[Alistar Stormfist]]''' - Found by Heartwood on the road to Little Ala Mhigo, this former Garlean slave was near death and wearing a magitek collar. With no where else to go and no life to return to, this gentle giant returned with the caravan to the Heartwood Homestead.

: ● '''[[Lucinda Kovix]]''' - This kindly and capable, Ishgardian drifter met Doctor Sol as she was returning from conversing with the Everschade and her husband's chocobo ran off. Lucinda and E'kari worked together to catch the bird and got to talking about Lucy's need for work and also to find her missing brother. The Miqo'te has since come to stay at Heartwood which has overjoyed E'kari.

: ● '''[[L'nela Varya]]''' - A one-eyed woman who really enjoys taking a bite out of life! In all seriousness--L'nela is a chipper and quirky person. A little emotional at times, but rightfully so; as her recent years have been filled with trauma. Both physical and emotional. Careful, she likes to nibble!
 

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#4d0000;font-size:14px;color:#FFFFFF;">Disliked</div><div style="border:0px solid; padding:8px">===

:● '''[[Tharl Oom Khash - NPC]]''' - A being made of corruption who takes his name from his place of creation. While to most guardians of the Shroud he would be a natural enemy anyway--this thing has taken a special and terrible shine to tormenting E'kari and all of Heartwood. His track record of terrible deeds is staggering and body count ever on the rise. His most memorable in E'kari's mind were her children, Sagu'a and Cize. The vengeful mother aided in his demise by pummeling him with special stones--from Tynos and Kaiya--she formed into barbaric gauntlets.


:● '''[[The Pumpking - NPC]]''' - This strange and otherwordly being was initially just an unsettling presence that occasionally appeared in the Heartwood halls offering bargains for steep moral prices. It was not until this squash-headed man manipulated Tustin Lafell into a contract that he became E'kari's enemy. The Seeker used excessive force against the entitiy, beating him into a puddle of black ooze. He has since returned to haunt Heartwood, though has stifled a sum of E'kari's animosity toward him by fixing her carbuncle's shattered gem and helping finish off Khash for good.

:● '''[[Skyfwyb Aergankawyn]]''' - E'kari was not fond of this woman from the start. The monsterous Seawolf had committed crimes against Heartwood on numerous occasions. E'kari was glad to hear of her sting and arrest by the Maelstrom. In the time that has followed, however, the curt and belligerent captain seems to have changed her ways to some extent. E'kari now views her slightly more favorably after having witnessed Skyfwyb's capacity to care genuinely for another person. It was also by the aid of this former pirate that the Solsong household was able to cross the sea to the east. As it stands now they are allies.

:■ "She's a caring mother, and a good friend. Still a little strange, though." - [[Conrad Steelsong]]

== <div style="padding:10px 15px; background:#4d0000; font-size:20px; color:#ffffff">'''Character Trivia'''</div>==
 
:■ E'kari refers to people as 'master' or 'lady' because as a young newcomer to Gridania she was hazed by the local youths; who told her that it was how non-tribal people spoke to one another. Excited to make 'friends' the Seeker picked this up almost immediately. It was not until this was an ingrained habit that she learned it was all a ruse for E'kari to make a fool of herself every time she spoke.
:■ Despite the skill not coming up particularly often, E'kari is adept at Thavnarian belly-dancing. This and many similar styles of celebratory dance were used among she and her kin in their tribal lands; though this is actually not their people's only connection to the middle east. The dress style, use of Alchemy and herbal medicines, even their taste in food has been greatly influenced by trade with Thavnair, much like many others who reside in Thanalan.
:■ E'kari will often experience an inconsolable sense of dread when E'yami is in emotional distress or danger, even if they are far apart. This link between twins seems to go both ways.
:■ Due to E'kari's heavy aspection to Earth she is notoriously difficult to knock off her feet and has immense stamina; adversely, she is not as quick as she'd like to be and swimming in deep water takes a significant amount of energy.
:■ Though most are unaware--or attribute some of her mannerisms to merely being quirky--E'kari actually suffers from high functioning autism. Social queues tend to be her biggest hurdle, along with focusing on the big picture of tasks as opposed to minut details, and sorting out painful emotions.

<div>
=== '''♦ General''' ===
<hr>
 
: (This page has recently undergone a major rework! Check it out if you want to know what has changed!)
: This overly polite and apologetic medicine-woman can often be found scuttling about making deliveries for her shop. Due to her diligent work, E'kari's Alchemist Alley has become one of the Alchemist Guild's favored subsidiaries and is frequently called upon to do business as a representative of their organization. <div>
 



=== '''♦ Appearance''' ===
<hr>
 

: E'kari is a Seeker/Keeper half-breed who carries some physical traits from her mother and father. Her eyes are narrow slit-pupils, skin pale but capable of bronzing in the sun like a Seeker; though her fur is fluffy and tail is long like a Keeper.

: This miqo'te has a snow-print mane--white with undertones if black and grey--with pale blue eyes and bangle-stripes that frame her face.

: In true mage form--E'kari can usually be found in little to no armor, even when going into battle. It slows her down in preforming martial arts and also disrupts her casting to wear anything too heavy. Instead she prefers comfortable robes or her labcoat. <div>
 



=== '''♦ History ''' ===
<hr>
 
: The parentage of E'yami and E'kari is a taboo matter. One that the Nunh of the Eft ordered upon the strictest of penalty, never to be spoken of. While their mother--E'yari--was a Seeker and one of the designated breeding females to the Nunh; their father--Sagu'a--was actually a roving Keeper who had long since left behind a subservient life with his maternal-family in the Shroud to be a traveling poet, minstrel and anthropologist. The two Miqo'te met when Sagu'a and his scholarly lalafell companion, Anabel Nack, sought a place to rest during their travels. The tribe apprehensively took the researchers in as temporary guests. In that time Sagu'a and E'yari began a secret relationship.

:When it came to light that the two had been together Sagu'a was put to death, and his body unceremoniously left to rot in the heat of the desert just outside of their territory.

: In a double blow, not only was E'yari stricken with grief, but she also discovered she was pregnant. Due to a combination of her melancholy of her lost love, the despair at what her life would be at the whims of her Nunh and complications during the birthing process--E'yari died shortly after her second kit was delivered. The last words she managed to speak before slipping away were the names of her children. Both Doman, in honor of their father who fancied the culture. Yami, meaning dark, and Hikari meaning light--though the midwives were unfamiliar with the tongue, mistaking it simply for /E/kari.

: Upon the twins' birth into the Eft--as per tradition--the clan made a ceremonial offering of their namesake to Azeyma that would determine their role in the tribe. When the flesh was melted from the bones,their appointed wise-woman had determined E'kari was to be the next shaman while E'yami's bones were an augury that she was preordained to be a great warrior.

: The Nunh was pleased by the news and demanded celebration, but found that the females of the tribe were not nearly as thrilled. Many believed that the pale-faced kits with hair of black and white were cursed; killing their mother with ill-omen. Nack took this opportunity to offer her services in raising her friends' children and providing them with education.

:The lalafell's silver tongue managed to coerce the Nunh to allow this arrangement--given he had few other options. The three were put up in a yurt close to the Nunh's own home to keep an eye on the foreigner.

: In the years that proceeded their youth, the twins were given a proper education by the professor--in between being stolen away to be taught their duties to the Eft. While Yami practiced fighting the other tribal youths, Kari was introduced to herbal medicine, burial rites and how to divinate the future with the practice of bone reading.

: Despite the twins' diligent efforts to hone their skills and fulfill thier tribal roles, they sorely lacked any sort of companionship from the other children of the Eft--having learned from their mother's to be wary of the pale-faced Seekers. Because of this, Nack took it upon herself to try and teach the girls the basic art of carbuncle summoning and passed her own Topaz and Emerald gems down to each of them.

: Demure and plagued with anxiety, E'kari was given Nicholas--Nack's Emerald carbuncle--as a therapy animal; while E'yami received Whackara--a Topaz companion who had enough spunk and energy to keep up with her. Both arcanist-pets has served the Professor faithfully since her own youth and passed without incident into the hands of their new masters.

: As the twins neared their teenage years, an odd habit of E'kari's came to light. She could often be found speaking to the streams, winds and rock-faces in the territory which the tribe found very suspicious. Some of the more superstitious members of the tribe were convinced the was speaking to the dead; the Nunh believed this was some gift from the Warden, proving his right to rule was divine.

: Knowing better than to believe any of that, Nack speculated that this was a hereditary trait, passed down from Sagu'a, who was a Hearer. Once more the professor went to the Nunh and convinced him that he should allow her to take the twins to train abroad in Gridania that they might return more powerful and capable of serving him. He agreed to the idea and within a fortnight Nack brought the girls to the Shroud.

: Once in Gridania, E'kari joined the Conjurer's Guild as a student while E'yami sought training in both lance and bow.

: Though eager to make new friends the Seeker found this was easier said than done. The high populous of Hyur and Elezen looked condescendingly upon the tribal girls. It was not out of the ordinary for the more crude classmates to inquire if her parents were cousins. This trouble fitting in was compounded by the fact she didn't seem to learn at the same rate as everyone else. E'kari would often focus on small details of things, so much so that she could not intake an entire lesson. A classroom setting did her little credit, but during her free moments she would visit the Everschade and commune with the Elementals.

: On one such visit, a strong wind blew a small branch down from the great tree; which, E'kari took and mended with magic that it might be used as a crook.

: Due to her natural affinity for the forest and her difficulty with conventional methods of learning she was taken as a personal apprentice to Master E-Sumi-Yan, a patient Padjal who specialized in the guidance of Hearers. Discovering the trick seemed to be hands-on learning, he took every opportunity to have the Seeker accompany him while he worked. E'kari improved quickly under his tutelage, able to stand as a conjurer in her own right.

: Near the end of the girl's time abroad, the Seventh Umbral Calamity struck. With her guild called to act as medics on the field, the twins soon found themselves on the heels of disaster for the duration of the event. E'kari and her classmates followed the guildmasters into the chaos, assisting those who had been wounded or fallen. E'yami acted as E'kari's personal guard as she preformed field surgeries and magical healing. The two witnessed death up close on more than one occasion, finding themselves changed by the end of it all.

: After all was said and done, the girls' respective masters deemed them both students no longer. And while this was a sweet taste, it was also made bitter by the memories of carnage that now haunted them both.

: The twins returned to their desert territory as heroines who represented their tribe with valor and courage. The Nunh held festivities long into the night.It seemed as though they'd finally been accepted, but neither seemed particularly content with staying within the territory any more--not after all they had been through. Together E'yami and E'kari traveled to the Shrine of the Warden, offering an Eft in a pyre for guidance. When the flesh had melted from the bones, Azeyma's will bid they must go--for they had more to do out in the world. E'kari shared this edict with their people and with heavy hearts, they left again to find and fulfill their duties elsewhere until the time the Warden calls for them to return.

=== '''♦ Behavior ''' ===

 

: E'kari has a hard time learning in a conventional sense often requires an exceedingly patient teacher in order to have any real success. However once she does learn something--or is preforming a task she excels in--she is hard-pressed to be outshined.

: While still generally being good natured and apologetic, in combat E'kari is capable of being a formidable opponent. Being a conjurer she will often take the role of a healer, but her connection to the Elementals has also allowed to take a unique approach to martial arts. The Seeker will often harden a stone skin over her hands and feet while delivering blows, or using gales of wind to enhance her movement speed. She has named her self-made fighting style, "The Golem Step" which emphasizes momentum and fluidity. (Much of her techniques in form are inspired by real world Zui Quan)

: Despite her obvious shortcomings, E'kari is a very hopeful person and goes into every situation with optimism for success, even if she has failed at the task a hundred times before. Sometimes it's the hundred and first try that brings success.

: ● '''[[E'yami Amane]]''' - E'kari's protective fraternal twin sister, older by 7 minutes. E'yami has always been a strong source of strength, comfort and adventure as the two have grown. Though she has a very tomboyish and wears tough outer shell, E'kari knows that her sister is actually very caring and sensitive--always putting the needs of others before herself; and that is what makes her E'kari's hero.

: 💑 '''[[Vektis Sol]]''' - E'kari's boisterous, free-spirited and loveable husband. When they first met she admired his self confidence--often shyly observing him kicking down doors to shout his own name at people. There are few in the world who can raise E'kari's spirits like Vektis can. The two became close friends and then a couple shortly there after. Though many people see his behavior as a nuisance, E'kari celebrates her husband's off-beat mannerisms--unless of course they prove to be dangerous. She loves him to the end of the world and back. The two are married and have two young children together. "Yes, you have been informed correctly. Vektis is, indeed, the bestest." - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[E'kira Sol]]''' - The infant daughter of Vektis and E'kari, also commonly referred to as Kira. This tiny mixed breed of Keeper and Seeker has been though much hardship in her short life. E'kira is the sole survivor of a litter of three, making Vektis and E'kari very protective of her. Regardless of whatever situation she's in, E'kira tends to cry very little. Recently she'd begun learning to walk and talk. Already she has shown the propensity to always be making noise of some sort, just like her father.

: ● '''[[Maxwell Sol]]''' - Born to the Eft tribe--to the name E'rhaja Tia--and orphaned after his sire was defeated and overthrown by another male. E'kari picked up the kitten; she felt a kinship with him for their similar origins. Upon his arrival at Heartwood to the Sol family he was renamed by Vektis and E'kari so he might grow up feeling like he belonged. Now three cycles old, Max is shy, polite and thoughtful. Especially fond of tinkering with small shiny objects and collecting beads, rocks and shells. He has an exceptionally bright mind for a boy his age.

: ● '''[[Nicholas Nack- NPC]]''' - The ever-present summoned companion of E'kari. This carbuncle has been with E'kari throughout the Seeker's entire life as a sort of therapy animal, helping to keep her anxiety in check. With a gem layered with complex geometries: Anabel Nack made it so he and his sister creation--Whackara--could form memories; and with that, personalities. Nick is generally gentle and quiet, with a keen ability to sense people's emotional needs. As such, he tends to gravitate to people whom he suspects need comfort. Nick is aware of his own artificial intellegence and often grapples with his place in the world, as well as the loneliness that comes from his own existence. "Ploo!" - Nick

: ● '''[[Anabel Nack]]''' - Author, scientist, surgeon and parent. This quirky and frightening alchemist is the adopted mother of E'yami and E'kari. Nanabel Nabel by birth, she almost always goes by her pen-name "A.B. 'Nack'". Though her child rearing methods were always questionable at best, the most indisputable fact of it all is that Nack loves both of her girls very much. She is not above employing dark methods to ensure this mad-scientist keeps her loved ones safe. This lalafell's haunting laughter was picked up by E'kari as she was growing up. "Kuhuhuh....." - Anabel Nack

: ● '''[[Conrad Steelsong]]''' - This initially frighteningly large Ala Mhigan is actually the godparent of E'kari and Vektis' young daughter, E'kira. The four of them, as well as No'Ulla Khilik, all take up residence in the same house in the Mist. Conrad has obviously weathered the storm of many conflicts that have hardened his exterior. Despite his gruff demeanor, E'kari finds him to be a wonderful person and the closest thing to a father she's ever known.

: ● '''[[No'Ulla Khilik]]''' - The Ala Mhigan-weaver wife of Conrad Steelsong. She has recently returned from apprenticing in Ishgard to live with the Solsong household. E'kari finds her to be a skilled craftswoman and never tires of hearing about Ulla's special technique of Spell-Weaving. Ulla is a welcome addition to the family--E'kari just hopes that Vektis doesn't scare their new friend off with nonsensical antics.

: ● '''[[Nyscera Alarone]]''' - This mistress of shadowy death is a close friend of the twins' adopted mother. She is considered an aunt to E'kari and E'yami. Early on in E'kari stay at Heartwood, the dragon-riding assassin took E'kari, Bennett and Snowy in as pupils for physical and mental training. While it was grueling and at times crushing, E'kari owes her martial arts ability solely to these lessons. Nyscera taught E'kari the value of teamwork and also her how to be unphased by negative elements in her life.

: ● '''[[Rath Alarone]]''' - Nyscera's aloof husband--and by proxy--the twins' uncle. This applesauce-loving dark knight is the one that hired E'kari to work as the company alchemist--in no small part to do with the potent pain killers she was able to make for him after a fight that nearly ended in his death. He always seems have a joke lined up, even in the most bleak of situations.

: ● '''[[Bennett Cooper]]''' - E'kari's teammate and--since his adoption by Rath and Nyscera Alarone--cousin of sorts. E'kari sees Bennett as the shining future of their free company. While he makes mistakes and has a ways to go before he can truly master any of his arsenal of weapons, E'kari firmly believes this young boy is going to do great things. Could young Master Bennett be a something more than the average fighter...? "Cooper is Super..!" - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[E'vehlke Sohj]]''' - The maternal cousin of E'kari and E'yami. Vehlke is a fearless warrior with a strange accent. As she is a full blood Seeker of the Eft tribe, E'vehlke shares a striking resemblance to the twins' deceased mother.

: ● '''[[Sokhatai Borlaaq]]''' - This huntress is the wife of E'vehlke Sohj. She has a very specific way of talking. E'kari onced picked her brain about adventure and Au'Ra culture. She finds her delightful!

: ● '''[[Reina Sol]]''' - E'kari's half Keeper half Raen sister-in-law. She is the first person from Heartwood that the twins ever met, quickly taking the girls under her wing and giving them a place to stay. It was because of Reina that E'kari met Vektis. E'kari admires Reina as a strong and together person.

: ● '''[[Snowy Sol]]''' - E'kari's full miqo'te sister-in-law. Even before the two were related by marriage, E'kari has had a definite soft spot for this girl-genius in her heart. The two worked together in the clinic for some time, rather closely. In one occasion the two preformed life saving surgery on Vektis. E'kari's only qualm is that she fears this teen might be too relaxed about the dangerous world around her at times--but maybe that's just the anxiety talking.

: ● '''[[Xihvi'ir Valathri]]''' - Xihvi'ir, or 'Ashy' as the others have taken to calling him, is a kindly harp-player that has come into the service of Heartwood. Though E'kari doesn't know of his personal dealings in any intricate regard--other than his past as a gambler--she knows she can trust his character, as he is well loved by Nick. The Keeper has always loaned a helping hand to the company whenever a need arose, for that E'kari finds herself very grateful to her new friend. Though she doesn't know it yet, the two share an unexpected bond in blood.

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#4d0000; font-size:14px; color:#FFFFFF">Friends </div><div style="border:0px solid; padding:8px"> ===

: ● '''[[Sakeru Wakeru]]''' – This unsuspecting looking delivery boy has a dark past under the surface. A time ago, Sakeru divulged a portion of his history to E'kari and a few others. Oddly enough, she ended up trusting him more after learning he was a trained assassin. She was quite sad to see him leave for a time, but was much overjoyed at his return. Wherever this lalafell goes two things are a certain: death and dinner. "Did I leave the oven on..?" - Sakeru Wakeru

: ● '''[[Tustin Lafell]]''' - The first moment E'kari saw this lalafell he was being arrested on the free company lawn for the attempted armed robbery. Later when he returned to make his peace with Heartwood the two met and over time became close companions. Tustin's street-savvy, wild and hot-headed demeanor contrasts E'kari's bookish, nervous, awkwardness in a very positive way. This Dunesfolk left Heartwood some time ago to make something of himself out in the world. Since then he has begun studying medicine. He remains, to this day, one of E'kari's most treasured and beloved friends. "I'm not cute! I'm manly as hell!" - Tustin Lafell

: ● '''[[Tynos Riller]]''' - This towering black mage initially greatly frightened E'kari upon their first meeting. Perhaps it was his scar, his serious expression or his sheer size--regardless, she now knows him as a very kind-hearted and family oriented leader. He sacrifices much of himself to keep Heartwood's members safe--and frankly--works too hard. It would be a shock to find him away from the clinic for longer than a month. It's safe to say, E'kari's pharmacy has a special 'Tynos Budget' for the small fortune it takes to keep this misfortune prone Elezen on his feet. "My goodness..! Hurt again, Master Tynos...?" - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[Cioccolato Stella]]''' - Cioccolato, or Lady Cio as E'kari calls her, works as a nurse and aspiring doctor for Heartwood. This charming and kind healer can often be seen sporting pastel colors and traveling around in the company of her Demon Brick, Cenere, which is a close friend of Max. E'kari has always been very fond of this miqo'te since her arrival and is one of the few she trusts to care for Kira and Max in her absence.

: ● '''[[Kaiya Ailbhe]]''' - The librarian, chief of medicine and over-all brains of Heartwood. E'kari admires the patience of this woman but also feels horribly guilty that the actions of her free company have driven Kaiya to take up smoking. Occasionally E'kari will bring Kaiya cinnamon sticks en masse as an attempt to give her something roughly cigarette shaped to hold and suck on. It is unknown if Doctor Ailhbe actually enjoys these or if she is merely humoring E'kari. Hopefully at the very least she is not being driven to smoke those as well...

: ● '''[[Zana Amaro]]''' - An aloof gunslinger and self proclaimed alley-cat. Despite being told not to, E'kari still insists on respectfully referring to this miqo'te as Lady Zana. When this woman is armed and in a foul mood . . . heaven help her target. E'kari has seen Zana rip a man's arm clean off. However Zana does also have a soft side. When E'kari was gravely injured in an attempt on her life, Zana stationed herself in the clinic to watch over her.

: ● '''[[Moralee Relen]]''' - Known to E'kari as "Mordry". This Au'Ra woman is rather complex for many reasons. Regardless E'kari cares greatly about Moralee and Mora in equal measure--although Mordry's "Moralee-half" is more familiar to her. Some time ago Mordry required E'kari's help with a somewhat risky task. This evoked the ire of her usually perpetually cheerful husband. Vektis has yet to forgive Mordry to this day, which fills the Seeker with guilt and remorse. However, because of that mission, E'kari learned how to brew a special and ancient potion she dubbed, "The Draught of the Dreamwalker".

: ● '''[[Neville Synch]]''' - This good natured marksman is the mate of Zana Amaro and the best friend of E'yami Amane. Over the period she has known him, this man has done a lot for E'kari's family which she could never repay. Though she does not know him too well personally she trusts him fully regardless. She always gets a chuckle out of the banter between Neville and Vektis.

: ● '''[[Vahn Quietfury]]''' - A sweet little boy with a curious connection to an elder dragon. E'kari first met the half lalafell on a caravan mission that was attacked. In the absence of his own mother, the Seeker would often look after Vahn when his father was away. One day when Vahn was playing with some of the other boys in the company yard he exhibited dangerous abilities. He and his father were sent away for the potential danger they posed. E'kari still loves Vahn like a son.

: ● '''[[Brandon Stormstrider]]''' - The Hyur father of Vahn Quietfury. E'kari met Brandon a short time after Vahn. The two became close friends, as the miqo'te was one of the few Heartwood members Brandon trusted. She would often do simple favors for the father and son to make their lives easier such as cleaning or bringing home pineapples. Upon their leaving to a new safehaven the Seeker found herself deeply saddend, however Brandon still sneaks over to the company on occasion. Brandon has placed E'kari under the protection of his men known only as "The Rogues".

: ● '''[[Enkhjargal Dalamiq]]''' - This stoic summoner is actually E'kari's master. He took her under his wing when she first arrived to Heartwood and had to terrorize her into being able to use her magic for anything beyond healing. His methods worked and looking back, E'kari owes him all of the strength she possesses now. Beyond that, she thinks he is a wonderful person who has natural ability with children. Who knew!

: ● '''[[Camille Everardi]]''' - Camille is Enkhjargal Dalamiq's wife and a talented mage, among many other things. E'kari has seen Camille fight in more than one way in the past with spars. She found this woman to be a strong female rolemodel for her in the past when she was just learning to fight--and still looks up to her to this day. E'kari couldn't be happier that her master and friend found happiness in each other's company.

: ● '''[[Chokho Viqqoh]]''' - A fierce, fiery and loyal amnesiac-Keeper who recently joined Heartwood. Since her arrival, Chokho and E'kari have become fast friends; bonding over their shared love of martial arts and string instruments. Though the two differ greatly in temperament and personality they have a shared respect for one another.

: ● '''[[Narumi Kotokaze]]''' - More commonly referred to as "Kota". E'kari met this Maelstrom affiliated bounty hunter on the road when she was set upon by highwaymen--which Kota easily dispatched. Since then the Raen has been promoted to first lieutenant of the Storm-guard and assigned to work as the handler of the former pirate Skyfwyb. The officer comissions her medicine from E'kari's "Alchemist's Alley". 

:● '''[[Nevrynn Alarone]]''' - While E'kari initially mistrusted the Seeker for his roguish persona and wanderlust, in resent months she has come to warm up to her sister's mate. Though she may not know him as well as she might like, he makes her sister happy. And the affection between the two are plain to see.

: ● '''[[Jake Jakkya]]''' - A red-lenses wearing void-mage who has spent a great deal of his life as a pit fighter. This spellsword is particularly close to E'kari's adopted mother, Nack, which makes him a brother of sorts. E'kari sorely wishes he would be less devil-may-care in demeanor at times, or at least care a bit more about his own life. She's always pleased when he pops up unharmed now and again. This former criminal has been blacklisted from Heartwood for his criminal debts to the Syndicate--though he has since paid them back in full, becoming an ally to the group.

: ● '''[[Ash Valken]]''' - The tall, brooding brother of Nyscera who has a strong dislike for Rath. E'kari met this former bandit spying on her a few times. Eventually the two had a sit-down conversation and became close--which was a new thing for the Au'Ra. E'kari taught Ash how to play a grasswhistle, fixed his broken hearing-aid and engaged in a playful spar. Somehow, in one way or another, most of their interactions end in awkward sexual-tension. The day Ash left Heartwood, E'kari gave him a necklace made from a strap of her doctor's bag to remember her by and encouraged him to follow his dreams.

: ● '''[[Akiyuki Okuma]]''' - The large, quiet, but overall pleasant husband of Cio who has joined Heartwood since his marriage to the plucky, pastel nursemaid. This reserved Au'Ra is a welcome addition to the family.

: ● '''[[Kenoni Eien’no]]''' - The betrothed of her friend Moralee. A stern and stoic acquaintance but never the less, E'kari admires his loyalty and commitment to Mordry. She hopes the two will have a wonderful life together with their child.

: ● '''[[J'edite Shedai]]''' - A fellow enthusiast of martial arts that spends most of her time roaming Thanalan seeking glory for the Jackal tribe. The two have had run-ins here and there as J'edite was on hunts and once sparred under the Sultan tree. The Seekers employ very different styles of their own making: while E'kari fights with her heavy handed "Golem Step" ideal for doing battle with armed and armored foes; J'edite uses fast kicks transitioning into fluid jabs in her "Fire Dancer" style that proves to be the bane of slower opponents. As it stands the two are friendly rivals.

: ● '''[[Alpon Adpon]]''' - The Pink Punisher! E'kari has met this "battle-chef" in passing more than once. The lalafell's skill in combat seems to rival his culinary prowess.

: ● '''[[Namaka Ebisu]]''' - A strange and sweet water-sprite who lives in a fountain. You want tree slugs? Because this is how you get tree slugs.

: ● '''[[Alistar Stormfist]]''' - Found by Heartwood on the road to Little Ala Mhigo, this former Garlean slave was near death and wearing a magitek collar. With no where else to go and no life to return to, this gentle giant returned with the caravan to the Heartwood Homestead.

: ● '''[[Lucinda Kovix]]''' - This kindly and capable, Ishgardian drifter met Doctor Sol as she was returning from conversing with the Everschade and her husband's chocobo ran off. Lucinda and E'kari worked together to catch the bird and got to talking about Lucy's need for work and also to find her missing brother. The Miqo'te has since come to stay at Heartwood which has overjoyed E'kari.

: ● '''[[L'nela Varya]]''' - A one-eyed woman who really enjoys taking a bite out of life! In all seriousness--L'nela is a chipper and quirky person. A little emotional at times, but rightfully so; as her recent years have been filled with trauma. Both physical and emotional. Careful, she likes to nibble!
 

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#4d0000;font-size:14px;color:#FFFFFF;">Disliked</div><div style="border:0px solid; padding:8px">===

:● '''[[Tharl Oom Khash - NPC]]''' - A being made of corruption who takes his name from his place of creation. While to most guardians of the Shroud he would be a natural enemy anyway--this thing has taken a special and terrible shine to tormenting E'kari and all of Heartwood. His track record of terrible deeds is staggering and body count ever on the rise. His most memorable in E'kari's mind were her children, Sagu'a and Cize. The vengeful mother aided in his demise by pummeling him with special stones--from Tynos and Kaiya--she formed into barbaric gauntlets.


:● '''[[The Pumpking - NPC]]''' - This strange and otherwordly being was initially just an unsettling presence that occasionally appeared in the Heartwood halls offering bargains for steep moral prices. It was not until this squash-headed man manipulated Tustin Lafell into a contract that he became E'kari's enemy. The Seeker used excessive force against the entitiy, beating him into a puddle of black ooze. He has since returned to haunt Heartwood, though has stifled a sum of E'kari's animosity toward him by fixing her carbuncle's shattered gem and helping finish off Khash for good.

:● '''[[Skyfwyb Aergankawyn]]''' - E'kari was not fond of this woman from the start. The monsterous Seawolf had committed crimes against Heartwood on numerous occasions. E'kari was glad to hear of her sting and arrest by the Maelstrom. In the time that has followed, however, the curt and belligerent captain seems to have changed her ways to some extent. E'kari now views her slightly more favorably after having witnessed Skyfwyb's capacity to care genuinely for another person. It was also by the aid of this former pirate that the Solsong household was able to cross the sea to the east. As it stands now they are allies.

== <div style="padding:10px 15px; background:#4d0000; font-size:20px; color:#ffffff">'''Character Trivia'''</div>==
 
:■ E'kari refers to people as 'master' or 'lady' because as a young newcomer to Gridania she was hazed by the local youths; who told her that it was how non-tribal people spoke to one another. Excited to make 'friends' the Seeker picked this up almost immediately. It was not until this was an ingrained habit that she learned it was all a ruse for E'kari to make a fool of herself every time she spoke.
:■ Despite the skill not coming up particularly often, E'kari is adept at Thavnarian belly-dancing. This and many similar styles of celebratory dance were used among she and her kin in their tribal lands; though this is actually not their people's only connection to the middle east. The dress style, use of Alchemy and herbal medicines, even their taste in food has been greatly influenced by trade with Thavnair, much like many others who reside in Thanalan.
:■ E'kari will often experience an inconsolable sense of dread when E'yami is in emotional distress or danger, even if they are far apart. This link between twins seems to go both ways.
:■ Due to E'kari's heavy aspection to Earth she is notoriously difficult to knock off her feet and has immense stamina; adversely, she is not as quick as she'd like to be and swimming in deep water takes a significant amount of energy.
:■ Though most are unaware--or attribute some of her mannerisms to merely being quirky--E'kari actually suffers from high functioning autism. Social queues tend to be her biggest hurdle, along with focusing on the big picture of tasks as opposed to minut details, and sorting out painful emotions.

<div>
=== '''♦ General''' ===
<hr>
 
: (This page is a work in progress!)
: A refugee that has risen swiftly through the ranks of the Malestrom; first, as a courier and commissioned bounty hunter, officer, then a lieutenant overseeing a privateer ship. Since arriving in Eorzea she has known nothing but the navy, and plans to serve them for the rest of her days. Because of the difficulty many sailors had with pronouncing her name, First Lieutenant Kotokaze goes instead by Kota. <div>
 



=== '''♦ Appearance''' ===
<hr>
 

: This Raen is incredibly small built, and while this causes most people to underestimate her--Narumi uses this to her every advantage. If you see glowing pink limbal rings eyeing you from the shadows, it's likely already too late.

: Kota has wild red hair that she often pulls back into a braid when she's working, though it still barely contains it.

: Across her belly, Narumi bears a grizzly scar from where she took Skyfwyb's axe during a brawl the two had.

: Having grown up poor and in the company of sailors for the past 7 cycles, Kota is not one for owning many 'outfits'. She prefers tight leather when she's after a mark--as it does not hinder her sneaking--but when she's on deck or representing her Grand Company she will always don her pristine officer's jacket with pride and dignity. <div>
 



=== '''♦ History ''' ===
<hr>
 
: Kota's immediate family lived on the outskirts of occupied Yanxia. Her mother was a woman of finery so her father had to make sure he could go to town and get her the silks and sake she liked so much. Her father was a simple hunter and the best he could ever do was get game meat, furs and leather to sell. But he did his best and taught Narumi and her older brother how to hunt as well.

: As her brother was a full 10 years older than her, eventually the job of hunting and overseeing the hunting fell to the siblings. On their trips her brother had no shortage of stories about scary Xaela that cannibalized their own young if they were born weak and slept with animals in caves. Meanwhile in town, her grandfather and grandmother would sell their wares in the marketplace.

: One day when Kota's grandparents were in the city her grandfather bumped into a soldier. When he attempted to explain that he hadn't meant any trouble they mistook the 70 year old man's cane for a weapon and beat him to death in the street to assert dominance. When Kota's father and grandmother went to reclaim his body there was hardly a bone what wasn't broken. One horn was shattered to pieces and another hung loosely from his bloody corpse. All his valuables had even been picked from him. Including all the money they'd made all day for that market visit.

: Kota's father bowed and scraped and thanked the Garlean soldiers for "allowing him" to reclaim the dead mound that was once his father, and left the city. It was that day Kota's father decided their money would no longer be spent on fine silks and drink. He would fund the construction of a ship in secret and get his family as far way from this horrible place as he could. Kota, her older brother and her father hunted like mad for the few years that followed and eventually got a small vessel of their own. As her father required deck hands, he conscripted his 20 year old son and 10 year old daughter to learn the basics of sailing with him.

: When Kota was 12 years of age, they finally went. There was a blessing in sailing a ship so small. They were able to pass through Garlean occupied waters and the territories of pirates unnoticed. Kota's family as hopeful. Until something terrible happened. Distantly the moon seemed to grow sickly--the sky turned red and rough waters hit them like even the most practiced sailor had never seen before.

: Kota's mother screamed above the harsh winds and waves for her to retreat below the deck with her and her grandmother. Brave, foolish and never caring for her own safety; the tiny 12 year old rushed onto the deck with her father and brother to try and keep the ship sailing true, but as she did so a bolt of lightning crashed down onto their mast.

: She couldn't remember if it was the shock of the bolt, the force of the wind, or the wet deck that caused it, but Narumi was thrown overboard, hitting her head on the side of the ship as she twisted in the waves. The next waking memory she had was laying in a warm dry bed surrounded by men in red coats. They all spoke in confusion and mild panic over the child in odd dialect of Eorzean that she could barely understand, but a tall man with dark skin that sat the nearest to her was kind and reassuring, putting his oversized jacket over her shoulders.

: The Highlander navel officer spent the rest of their long voyage to Limsa taking care of their new guest when he wasn't busy. In the meantime the men taught the girl important things: how to swear, how to spit, how to sail and--occasionally, behind the back of their commanding officer--how to drink. But never so much the kid would be sloshed.

: With no where else to go once they reached port, Kota was offered a simple job as a courier for the Highlander's messages and such, which he paid her an unreasonable sum for. He also offered her his bunk at the barracks while he was away.

: Kota became well known as the Maelstrom's helper and errand girl for the next few years. Much beloved by the older folks and tolerated by the younger ones at the behest of her highlander guardian, whom she would wait for by the docks every day he was gone at sea. But on one voyage he never came back. Nor did the rest of his crew.
: The Raen continued to go to the dock every day past when they were due to come home and found herself disappointed for some time. Eventually another ship visited the waters they'd been in and found the wreckage of their ship filled with holes. They'd been killed by a Seawolf Slaver and his crew.

: Upon hearing the news Kota slipped into a dark place. She began drinking heavily when she could and starting fights in the Wench. One day she made the bold choice to steal a pirate bounty from the Maelstrom's wanted board.

: Narumi wasn't a strong person by any means, but she was quick and sly and hard to notice. This would be her advantage. The Raen managed to stow away in a barrel on a pirate ship and busted out when she'd been transported on board. Once there and alone she busted out and found she was in a storage room. Beside her was a small purple... thing. She'd never seen a creature like him before but he was clearly being kept for illegal trade. Kota picked the lock and strapped the baby behemoth onto her back. And went to confront her mark.

: She was able to catch him alone, knock him out, and drag him from the ship. Albeit awkwardly. With the mission completed she was ecstatic to receive not only pay but praise for bringing him alive to face justice. Kota and her new companion Goru began to work two jobs, courier and bounty hunter.

: The Raen continued this trend until she was about 16 when something changed her. She was on a job to find a man who was wanted for potential dealings with the pirate who'd killed her Highlander guardian. She couldn't pass this up in a million years. Kota was able to track him to where he'd made port and went to "rest" for the night. When she snuck into his room through the window she was appalled to find the man fornicating with a girl at least three years younger than herself who was branded with the sigil of the Seawolf Slaver who'd sunk The True Journey.

: The shrill sounds of the little girl's crying caused something in the Raen's mind to snap, and before she even had time to place a calculated shot she kept from the window onto his back and stabbed a paralyzing arrow just to the left of his spine and snapped it off so the head remained stuck there. She threw the now helpless man onto the floor beside the bed where the girl still lay. She couldn't kill, but he needed to suffer. The Raen took her hunting knife from her side; and in her rage, began to saw off the flesh from the top of his head.

: It was simple. She was good at this. It was like skinning an animal like was her job in her homeland. The man screamed at the top of his lungs until he foamed at the mouth and passed out from pain. Kota only came to when the little girl beside her called out in between sobs, "Stop it!"

: Narumi looked down at her trembling, bloody and hair covered hands. In that moment she was the monster. The Au Ra threw a sack full of money at the girl and gave her the assailant's shirt off the nightstand, demanding she flee to one of the Maelstrom's headquarters in any of the nearby towns.

: After bringing the man to justice he was questioned about his involvement with the pirate slaver and promptly hung thereafter. Kota tanned the scalp to leather and kept it in a chest as a reminder of her own savagery.

: She had decided that that would be the legacy of her justice; and before she would finally meet the killer of her guardian, she would fill that chest with the scalps of pirates and wicked men full along the way.

=== '''♦ Behavior ''' ===

 

: Kota is a very difficult person to get along with. She's blunt, loud, drinks too much, speaks Eorzean in a horrible dialect and isn't above punching someone in the face if she thinks they've earned it. Thus is the plight of children brought up by sailors. But she's also fiercely loyal,just and empathetic. Bound by her honor, Kota will never turn away from a person in need of her.

: Every now and again, Narumi becomes incredibly homesick. She alleviates this by drinking Sake and playing her shamisen.

: 💑 '''[[Skyfwyb Aergankawyn]]''' - Skyf was originally one of Kota's bounties that she was to bring in, but because of her size, power and difficult base to infiltrate, she had little luck taking her quickly. This was compounded by the fact that the pirate almost never went ashore anywhere aside from her cove. The Au'ra would hit the cove with constant guerilla-style attacks every chance she got. Eventually, Skyf just got used to having the Raen around with the two of them fighting all the time. Through a series of odd circumstances, the two became romantically involved--albeit secretly. When one of the ships in Skyf's fleet was sunk and she was arrested for piracy she was given a choice: become a privateer or hang. Putting pride aside for the sake of her lover, the Roe lowered the black flag for a red one--now the two fight for the same side and even occupy the same vessel.

: ● '''[[J'edite Shedai]]''' - Jet comes from the desert. A place that, as a Doman sailor, Kota doesn't understand very well. The two met in the Drowning Wench where they got into a drinking contest that spanned several bells. Kota loved hearing about Jet's monster hunting, while the Seeker was thrilled to learn about pirate hunting. Narumi may have drunkenly promised the use of Skyf's ship to J'edite should she ever need to fight sea monsters. Hopefully that doesn't make her too mad.

: ● '''[[E'kari Sol]]''' – Narumi met this Seeker while she was running a caravan through Costa and was attacked by highwaymen. Too nice for her own good, E'kari didn't even seem to be aware the men were trying to rob her. Kota dashed in and fought back the group, choking out their leader. When all was said and done, the Raen accompanied the Seeker the rest of the way to her destination. Since then Kota has always gone to "The Alchemist's Alley" for her and her stationed vessel's medical needs. 

: ● '''[[Kaiya Ailbhe]]''' - This Keeper was responsible for the tactical operation that got Skyf arrested. Unfortunately, as the bounty hunter that had spent the most time observing, Kota was called upon to take part in this attack as well. Though the circumstances of their meeting were poor, Kota looks upon the tactician with respect. After all, generally the Maelstrom and the Arcanist's Guild have a very positive working relationship.

: ● '''[[Nyscera Alarone]]''' - Nyscera was the first Xaela that Narumi had ever gotten to know personally. And while she was apprehensive at first, it didn't take long to find that she was not a cannibal like her brother's stories always promised. Kota has begun learning to hone close range combat from this seasoned ninja.

: ● '''[[Bennett Cooper]]''' - The adopted son of Nyscera. He seems to be a pretty skilled fighter for himself with a varied array of skills and interests. A while back Bennett's mother was killed by Skyf. Kota deeply regrets not being able to stop her, and bears a scar from the attempt.

: ● '''[[Zazkiny Zinky]]''' - Small, fiery and a little rude, Kota sees a lot of her self in this lalafell. Narumi has offered to take Zinky along with her as an apprentice bounty hunter to show her legal ways she can use her flame aspected aether to help people. Maybe one day Zinky will join the Maelstrom?

:● '''[[Zirnwilf Keltmerlsyn]]''' - Captain of The Wailing Siren and the man who sunk The True Journey naval ship. His trade is in raiding, plunder but mostly in the capture and trade of slaves. He favors miqo'te or au'ra women, which he brands with the sigil of his flag and traffics. Despite his reputation being grand, he's incredibly hard to track down; especially because no enemy that has encountered his ship has gone unsunk. Kota has her eyes on bringing him in for the murder of Captain Armstrong. What the Raen doesn't realize is that her own actions have not gone unnoticed.

<div>
=== '''♦ General''' ===
<hr>
 
: (When Vektis says he is the Dragoon of Whitebrim, it means he is the Knights Dragoon, swore to protect Whitebrim which is under the protection of Durendaire, so essentially he has sworn himself to Durendaire.)
: A young, energetic miqo'te who is dedicated to protecting who he loves, and spreading joy. You will almost NEVER see this cat angry, scared, or sad! While he may have a silly, fun, crazy side, he also has a serious one. The reason why Vektis can use ice aether, is because his aether is ice aspected. He was also trained a little in thaumaturgy as a child. <div>
 



=== '''♦ Appearance''' ===
<hr>
 

:"Vektis is the bestest!" Vektis usually wears the same thing. All the time. Everyday. He wears a Wine Red coat, with baggy pants and boots. Sometimes he wears light armor when he spars or goes to the Grindstone, and he almost never wears his Dragoon armor.

:Vektis is pretty toned all around his body, but nothing like raging muscles or anything like that. <div>
 



=== '''♦ Behaviour''' ===
<hr>
 
: Vektis is a very energetic, lovable, happy-go-lucky miqo'te who will probably hug you whether you want one or not, no matter who you are. He is always quick to try and help someone if they ask for it, especially if he likes that said person. While Vektis has a very silly side to him, he can be serious when he needs to be. He always tries to put others before himself, even more so if he loves that said person.

: 💑 '''[[E'kari Sol]]''' - Vektis has never loved anyone more in his life. Vektis sees E’kari as the light of his life, and would sacrifice anything for her. Vektis first met E’kari when she showed up at Heartwood with her sister, E’yami Amane. When he first saw her, he thought she was cute, nice, and smart. Soon after, they began to see each other. Vektis and E'kari are happily married.

: ● '''[[E'kira Sol]]''' - E'kira Sol is Vektis' daughter. He loves E'kira and E'kari more than himself and will do anything to protect them. Vektis loves to interact with E'kira as if he was talking to any other person, never using anything like 'baby talk'.

: ● '''[[Chip Wayman]]''' - Chip Wayman is one of Vektis’ favorite people. Ever. He came to realize quickly that Chip is probably his best friend,ever since he first met him. They easily bounce off each other in conversation, and rival each others strength. Sadly, Vektis has not seen one of his best friends in a while.

: ● '''[[Aekira Swyfte]]''' - Vektis looks at Aekira in a way where one would be able to poke fun at each other while still maintaining a good friendship. Every time he sees Aekira, he HAS to make fun of the fact that the man looks great in heels. He first met Aekira at his first Grindstone, where Aekira got angry at Vektis for constantly yelling, just like how most people usually meet Vektis!

: ● '''[[E'vehlke Sohj]]''' - When Vektis first came to Heartwood, E'vehlke saw him as perverted idiot. Now, they are good friends, and she even gave him permission to call her 'Vehlke.'

: ● '''[[Rath Alarone]]''' - Vektis and Rath became good friends quickly, probably because they both like to screw around from time to time. Rath hired Vektis as his personal liaison before Vektis became an Executive, and Vektis thinks highly of Rath because of it.

: ● '''[[Nyscera Alarone]]''' - Nyscera was one of the first people Vektis met when he came to Heartwood, next to Harvest and Sokhatai. Even though Vektis can piss Nyscera off to no end, they're still good friends.

: ● '''[[Tynos Riller]]''' - Vektis and Tynos are good friends. It is evident in the way where they can take jabs at each other all the time, wherever they are, and still maintain their friendship. Vektis looks up to Tynos, and will listen to most advice from him.

: ● '''[[Conrad Steelsong]]''' - Vektis always liked Conrad, ever since he got a coffee mug thrown at him and then slammed down into a desk! He always, and still does, see Conrad as one of the strongest people he knows. They became good friends, even if Conrad doesn't want to admit it. They have had a few adventures together, epic and comedic all at the same time.

: ● '''[[Bennett Cooper]]''' - Vektis sees Cooper as his little brother. He wants to shape Cooper to be like himself when he is older, hence why Vektis teaches him the 'Rules of Vektis' and the "Secret Rules of Vektis.' Cooper is the heir to the title of "The Bestest"

: ● '''[[Sakeru Wakeru]]''' - Like Cooper, Vektis also sees Sakeru as his younger brother, though...not exactly in the same way... While Vektis loves Sakeru, Vektis still thinks that the lalafell can be mischievous and instigating.

: ● '''[[Solemn Olive]]''' - Vektis first met Olive when he was doing a small delivery job for Heartwood before he was even a liaison. They met in the Drowning Wench, and right as they met, they helped out someone who was having an issue in the Wench with a curse. They now see each other as good friends.

: ● '''[[Reina Sol]]''' - Reina is Vektis' younger half-sister, and they find comfort in each other when they need it. Vektis is protective of his sister, even if he never shows it. He wants her to be happy, and he wants her to have a comfortable life, and will do anything to try and provide that for her.

: ● '''[[Noa Lanbatal]]''' - Vektis first met Noa when he was taking a glace at her behind in the Wench, while he was out on a shopping trip with Enkh, Reina and E've. They came to talking, and whenever Vektis sees Noa now, he is always sure to wave to her. Noa helped Vektis out with a decently big issue, and Vektis sees Noa as a good person because of it.

: ● '''[[Enkhjargal Dalamiq]]''' - Right away, as soon as Vektis met Enkh, he loved him to death. He wanted to be best friends with Enkh, and wanted to be apart of what he did, all the time. Enkh, on the other hand, did not share the same opinion. He thought that Vektis was an annoying, lying, perverted catboy, who was as good-for-nothing. Now, Enkh tolerates Vektis, and they have become friends over time.

: ● '''[[Harvest Krayk]]''' - Harvest was one of Vetkis' first and only friends when Vektis came to Heartwood. He called Vektis 'Harem' because of the way Vektis acted, and they were such good friends that Vektis cried when Harvest left Heartwood. He is still good friends with Harvest and always will be.

: ● '''[[Idriel Tuskglade]]''' - Idriel is Vektis' guardian, and he almost sees her as a mother. She took care of him when he was younger, and still does now. Vektis goes to Idriel for advice when he needs it, even if she is a little ball of anger.

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#4d0000;font-size:14px;color:#FFFFFF;">Acquaintances</div><div style="border:0px solid; padding:8px">===

: ● '''[[A'ki Woods]]''' – Vektis and A'ki were mates before E'kari came along, but A'ki left for a long time without telling Vektis where she went, so Vektis grew apart from her in the time that she was gone. When she did show up again, Vektis broke things off with her because he didn't feel the same connection with her as he once did. 

: ● '''[[Camille Everardi]]''' - While Vektis sees Enkh as his good friend, he sees Camille as a good acquaintance. He enjoys her company, and likes speaking with her.

: ● '''[[Solid Sequoia]]''' - Ever since Vektis met Solid through E've at the runestone, Vektis has liked her. He maaaay or may not have annoyed the ever living hell out of her with all his bad ice puns, but...that shouldn't be that big a deal, right...?

: ● '''[[Namaka Ebisu]]''' - Vektis first met Nama when he was just talking with Conrad in his Heartwood House when the friendly Water Sprite just kind of...came out of the tub and said hi. She was nice to Vektis right off the bat, so Vektis did the same thing right back at her! It wasn't very hard to like Nama in Vektis' eyes.

: ● '''[[Xihvi'ir Valathri]]''' Ashy, as everyone in Heartwood calls him is a nice enough guy. Thats pretty much about all you need to be on this list, so here he is! Vektis likes when he plays the harp. Yup.

 

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#4d0000;font-size:14px;color:#FFFFFF;">Disliked</div><div style="border:0px solid; padding:8px">===

:● '''[[Brandon Stormstrider]]''' - For multiple reasons, Vektis has come to dislike Brandon and has become cautious of his whole family.

:● '''[[Moralee Relen]]''' - Moralee time and time again has proved to Vektis that she is nothing but danger to the people he loves most. He has told her to stay away from his daughter for good. Vektis used to be friends with this individual but it is VERY rare that Vektis will see her as anything but a disease ever again.

<div>
=== '''♦ General''' ===
<hr>
 
: (This page has recently undergone a major rework! Check it out if you want to know what has changed!)
: This overly polite and apologetic medicine-woman can often be found scuttling about making deliveries for her shop. Due to her diligent work, E'kari's Alchemist Alley has become one of the Alchemist Guild's favored subsidiaries and is frequently called upon to do business as a representative of their organization. <div>
 



=== '''♦ Appearance''' ===
<hr>
 

: E'kari is a Seeker/Keeper half-breed who carries some physical traits from her mother and father. Her eyes are narrow slit-pupils, skin pale but capable of bronzing in the sun like a Seeker; though her fur is fluffy and tail is long like a Keeper.

: This miqo'te has a snow-print mane--white with undertones if black and grey--with pale blue eyes and bangle-stripes that frame her face.

: In true mage form--E'kari can usually be found in little to no armor, even when going into battle. It slows her down in preforming martial arts and also disrupts her casting to wear anything too heavy. Instead she prefers comfortable robes or her labcoat. <div>
 



=== '''♦ History ''' ===
<hr>
 
: The parentage of E'yami and E'kari is a taboo matter. One that the Nunh of the Eft ordered upon the strictest of penalty, never to be spoken of. While their mother--E'yari--was a Seeker and one of the designated breeding females to the Nunh; their father--Sagu'a--was actually a roving Keeper who had long since left behind a subservient life with his maternal-family in the Shroud to be a traveling poet, minstrel and anthropologist. The two Miqo'te met when Sagu'a and his scholarly lalafell companion, Anabel Nack, sought a place to rest during their travels. The tribe apprehensively took the researchers in as temporary guests. In that time Sagu'a and E'yari began a secret relationship.

:When it came to light that the two had been together Sagu'a was put to death, and his body unceremoniously left to rot in the heat of the desert just outside of their territory.

: In a double blow, not only was E'yari stricken with grief, but she also discovered she was pregnant. Due to a combination of her melancholy of her lost love, the despair at what her life would be at the whims of her Nunh and complications during the birthing process--E'yari died shortly after her second kit was delivered. The last words she managed to speak before slipping away were the names of her children. Both Doman, in honor of their father who fancied the culture. Yami, meaning dark, and Hikari meaning light--though the midwives were unfamiliar with the tongue, mistaking it simply for /E/kari.

: Upon the twins' birth into the Eft--as per tradition--the clan made a ceremonial offering of their namesake to Azeyma that would determine their role in the tribe. When the flesh was melted from the bones,their appointed wise-woman had determined E'kari was to be the next shaman while E'yami's bones were an augury that she was preordained to be a great warrior.

: The Nunh was pleased by the news and demanded celebration, but found that the females of the tribe were not nearly as thrilled. Many believed that the pale-faced kits with hair of black and white were cursed; killing their mother with ill-omen. Nack took this opportunity to offer her services in raising her friends' children and providing them with education.

:The lalafell's silver tongue managed to coerce the Nunh to allow this arrangement--given he had few other options. The three were put up in a yurt close to the Nunh's own home to keep an eye on the foreigner.

: In the years that proceeded their youth, the twins were given a proper education by the professor--in between being stolen away to be taught their duties to the Eft. While Yami practiced fighting the other tribal youths, Kari was introduced to herbal medicine, burial rites and how to divinate the future with the practice of bone reading.

: Despite the twins' diligent efforts to hone their skills and fulfill thier tribal roles, they sorely lacked any sort of companionship from the other children of the Eft--having learned from their mother's to be wary of the pale-faced Seekers. Because of this, Nack took it upon herself to try and teach the girls the basic art of carbuncle summoning and passed her own Topaz and Emerald gems down to each of them.

: Demure and plagued with anxiety, E'kari was given Nicholas--Nack's Emerald carbuncle--as a therapy animal; while E'yami received Whackara--a Topaz companion who had enough spunk and energy to keep up with her. Both arcanist-pets has served the Professor faithfully since her own youth and passed without incident into the hands of their new masters.

: As the twins neared their teenage years, an odd habit of E'kari's came to light. She could often be found speaking to the streams, winds and rock-faces in the territory which the tribe found very suspicious. Some of the more superstitious members of the tribe were convinced the was speaking to the dead; the Nunh believed this was some gift from the Warden, proving his right to rule was divine.

: Knowing better than to believe any of that, Nack speculated that this was a hereditary trait, passed down from Sagu'a, who was a Hearer. Once more the professor went to the Nunh and convinced him that he should allow her to take the twins to train abroad in Gridania that they might return more powerful and capable of serving him. He agreed to the idea and within a fortnight Nack brought the girls to the Shroud.

: Once in Gridania, E'kari joined the Conjurer's Guild as a student while E'yami sought training in both lance and bow.

: Though eager to make new friends the Seeker found this was easier said than done. The high populous of Hyur and Elezen looked condescendingly upon the tribal girls. It was not out of the ordinary for the more crude classmates to inquire if her parents were cousins. This trouble fitting in was compounded by the fact she didn't seem to learn at the same rate as everyone else. E'kari would often focus on small details of things, so much so that she could not intake an entire lesson. A classroom setting did her little credit, but during her free moments she would visit the Everschade and commune with the Elementals.

: On one such visit, a strong wind blew a small branch down from the great tree; which, E'kari took and mended with magic that it might be used as a crook.

: Due to her natural affinity for the forest and her difficulty with conventional methods of learning she was taken as a personal apprentice to Master E-Sumi-Yan, a patient Padjal who specialized in the guidance of Hearers. Discovering the trick seemed to be hands-on learning, he took every opportunity to have the Seeker accompany him while he worked. E'kari improved quickly under his tutelage, able to stand as a conjurer in her own right.

: Near the end of the girl's time abroad, the Seventh Umbral Calamity struck. With her guild called to act as medics on the field, the twins soon found themselves on the heels of disaster for the duration of the event. E'kari and her classmates followed the guildmasters into the chaos, assisting those who had been wounded or fallen. E'yami acted as E'kari's personal guard as she preformed field surgeries and magical healing. The two witnessed death up close on more than one occasion, finding themselves changed by the end of it all.

: After all was said and done, the girls' respective masters deemed them both students no longer. And while this was a sweet taste, it was also made bitter by the memories of carnage that now haunted them both.

: The twins returned to their desert territory as heroines who represented their tribe with valor and courage. The Nunh held festivities long into the night.It seemed as though they'd finally been accepted, but neither seemed particularly content with staying within the territory any more--not after all they had been through. Together E'yami and E'kari traveled to the Shrine of the Warden, offering an Eft in a pyre for guidance. When the flesh had melted from the bones, Azeyma's will bid they must go--for they had more to do out in the world. E'kari shared this edict with their people and with heavy hearts, they left again to find and fulfill their duties elsewhere until the time the Warden calls for them to return.

=== '''♦ Behavior ''' ===

 

: E'kari has a hard time learning in a conventional sense often requires an exceedingly patient teacher in order to have any real success. However once she does learn something--or is preforming a task she excels in--she is hard-pressed to be outshined.

: While still generally being good natured and apologetic, in combat E'kari is capable of being a formidable opponent. Being a conjurer she will often take the role of a healer, but her connection to the Elementals has also allowed to take a unique approach to martial arts. The Seeker will often harden a stone skin over her hands and feet while delivering blows, or using gales of wind to enhance her movement speed. She has named her self-made fighting style, "The Golem Step" which emphasizes momentum and fluidity. (Much of her techniques in form are inspired by real world Zui Quan)

: Despite her obvious shortcomings, E'kari is a very hopeful person and goes into every situation with optimism for success, even if she has failed at the task a hundred times before. Sometimes it's the hundred and first try that brings success.

: ● '''[[E'yami Amane]]''' - E'kari's protective fraternal twin sister, older by 7 minutes. E'yami has always been a strong source of strength, comfort and adventure as the two have grown. Though she has a very tomboyish and wears tough outer shell, E'kari knows that her sister is actually very caring and sensitive--always putting the needs of others before herself; and that is what makes her E'kari's hero.

: 💑 '''[[Vektis Sol]]''' - E'kari's boisterous, free-spirited and loveable husband. When they first met she admired his self confidence--often shyly observing him kicking down doors to shout his own name at people. There are few in the world who can raise E'kari's spirits like Vektis can. The two became close friends and then a couple shortly there after. Though many people see his behavior as a nuisance, E'kari celebrates her husband's off-beat mannerisms--unless of course they prove to be dangerous. She loves him to the end of the world and back. The two are married and have two young children together. "Yes, you have been informed correctly. Vektis is, indeed, the bestest." - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[E'kira Sol]]''' - The infant daughter of Vektis and E'kari, also commonly referred to as Kira. This tiny mixed breed of Keeper and Seeker has been though much hardship in her short life. E'kira is the sole survivor of a litter of three, making Vektis and E'kari very protective of her. Regardless of whatever situation she's in, E'kira tends to cry very little. Recently she'd begun learning to walk and talk. Already she has shown the propensity to always be making noise of some sort, just like her father.

: ● '''[[Maxwell Sol]]''' - Born to the Eft tribe--to the name E'rhaja Tia--and orphaned after his sire was defeated and overthrown by another male. E'kari picked up the kitten; she felt a kinship with him for their similar origins. Upon his arrival at Heartwood to the Sol family he was renamed by Vektis and E'kari so he might grow up feeling like he belonged. Now three cycles old, Max is shy, polite and thoughtful. Especially fond of tinkering with small shiny objects and collecting beads, rocks and shells. He has an exceptionally bright mind for a boy his age.

: ● '''[[Nicholas Nack- NPC]]''' - The ever-present summoned companion of E'kari. This carbuncle has been with E'kari throughout the Seeker's entire life as a sort of therapy animal, helping to keep her anxiety in check. With a gem layered with complex geometries: Anabel Nack made it so he and his sister creation--Whackara--could form memories; and with that, personalities. Nick is generally gentle and quiet, with a keen ability to sense people's emotional needs. As such, he tends to gravitate to people whom he suspects need comfort. Nick is aware of his own artificial intellegence and often grapples with his place in the world, as well as the loneliness that comes from his own existence. "Ploo!" - Nick

: ● '''[[Anabel Nack]]''' - Author, scientist, surgeon and parent. This quirky and frightening alchemist is the adopted mother of E'yami and E'kari. Nanabel Nabel by birth, she almost always goes by her pen-name "A.B. 'Nack'". Though her child rearing methods were always questionable at best, the most indisputable fact of it all is that Nack loves both of her girls very much. She is not above employing dark methods to ensure this mad-scientist keeps her loved ones safe. This lalafell's haunting laughter was picked up by E'kari as she was growing up. "Kuhuhuh....." - Anabel Nack

: ● '''[[Conrad Steelsong]]''' - This initially frighteningly large Ala Mhigan is actually the godparent of E'kari and Vektis' young daughter, E'kira. The four of them, as well as No'Ulla Khilik, all take up residence in the same house in the Mist. Conrad has obviously weathered the storm of many conflicts that have hardened his exterior. Despite his gruff demeanor, E'kari finds him to be a wonderful person and the closest thing to a father she's ever known.

: ● '''[[No'Ulla Khilik]]''' - The Ala Mhigan-weaver wife of Conrad Steelsong. She has recently returned from apprenticing in Ishgard to live with the Solsong household. E'kari finds her to be a skilled craftswoman and never tires of hearing about Ulla's special technique of Spell-Weaving. Ulla is a welcome addition to the family--E'kari just hopes that Vektis doesn't scare their new friend off with nonsensical antics.

: ● '''[[Nyscera Alarone]]''' - This mistress of shadowy death is a close friend of the twins' adopted mother. She is considered an aunt to E'kari and E'yami. Early on in E'kari stay at Heartwood, the dragon-riding assassin took E'kari, Bennett and Snowy in as pupils for physical and mental training. While it was grueling and at times crushing, E'kari owes her martial arts ability solely to these lessons. Nyscera taught E'kari the value of teamwork and also her how to be unphased by negative elements in her life.

: ● '''[[Rath Alarone]]''' - Nyscera's aloof husband--and by proxy--the twins' uncle. This applesauce-loving dark knight is the one that hired E'kari to work as the company alchemist--in no small part to do with the potent pain killers she was able to make for him after a fight that nearly ended in his death. He always seems have a joke lined up, even in the most bleak of situations.

: ● '''[[Bennett Cooper]]''' - E'kari's teammate and--since his adoption by Rath and Nyscera Alarone--cousin of sorts. E'kari sees Bennett as the shining future of their free company. While he makes mistakes and has a ways to go before he can truly master any of his arsenal of weapons, E'kari firmly believes this young boy is going to do great things. Could young Master Bennett be a something more than the average fighter...? "Cooper is Super..!" - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[E'vehlke Sohj]]''' - The maternal cousin of E'kari and E'yami. Vehlke is a fearless warrior with a strange accent. As she is a full blood Seeker of the Eft tribe, E'vehlke shares a striking resemblance to the twins' deceased mother.

: ● '''[[Sokhatai Borlaaq]]''' - This huntress is the wife of E'vehlke Sohj. She has a very specific way of talking. E'kari onced picked her brain about adventure and Au'Ra culture. She finds her delightful!

: ● '''[[Reina Sol]]''' - E'kari's half Keeper half Raen sister-in-law. She is the first person from Heartwood that the twins ever met, quickly taking the girls under her wing and giving them a place to stay. It was because of Reina that E'kari met Vektis. E'kari admires Reina as a strong and together person.

: ● '''[[Snowy Sol]]''' - E'kari's full miqo'te sister-in-law. Even before the two were related by marriage, E'kari has had a definite soft spot for this girl-genius in her heart. The two worked together in the clinic for some time, rather closely. In one occasion the two preformed life saving surgery on Vektis. E'kari's only qualm is that she fears this teen might be too relaxed about the dangerous world around her at times--but maybe that's just the anxiety talking.

: ● '''[[Xihvi'ir Valathri]]''' - Xihvi'ir, or 'Ashy' as the others have taken to calling him, is a kindly harp-player that has come into the service of Heartwood. Though E'kari doesn't know of his personal dealings in any intricate regard--other than his past as a gambler--she knows she can trust his character, as he is well loved by Nick. The Keeper has always loaned a helping hand to the company whenever a need arose, for that E'kari finds herself very grateful to her new friend. Though she doesn't know it yet, the two share an unexpected bond in blood.

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#4d0000; font-size:14px; color:#FFFFFF">Friends </div><div style="border:0px solid; padding:8px"> ===

: ● '''[[Sakeru Wakeru]]''' – This unsuspecting looking delivery boy has a dark past under the surface. A time ago, Sakeru divulged a portion of his history to E'kari and a few others. Oddly enough, she ended up trusting him more after learning he was a trained assassin. She was quite sad to see him leave but remembers him fondly. Wherever this lalafell goes two things are a certain: death and dinner. "Did I leave the oven on..?" - Sakeru Wakeru

: ● '''[[Tustin Lafell]]''' - The first moment E'kari saw this lalafell he was being arrested on the free company lawn for the attempted armed robbery. Later when he returned to make his peace with Heartwood the two met and over time became close companions. Tustin's street-savvy, wild and hot-headed demeanor contrasts E'kari's bookish, nervous, awkwardness in a very positive way. This Dunesfolk left Heartwood some time ago to make something of himself out in the world. Since then he has begun studying medicine. He remains, to this day, one of E'kari's most treasured and beloved friends. "I'm not cute! I'm manly as hell!" - Tustin Lafell

: ● '''[[Tynos Riller]]''' - This towering black mage initially greatly frightened E'kari upon their first meeting. Perhaps it was his scar, his serious expression or his sheer size--regardless, she now knows him as a very kind-hearted and family oriented leader. He sacrifices much of himself to keep Heartwood's members safe--and frankly--works too hard. It would be a shock to find him away from the clinic for longer than a month. It's safe to say, E'kari's pharmacy has a special 'Tynos Budget' for the small fortune it takes to keep this misfortune prone Elezen on his feet. "My goodness..! Hurt again, Master Tynos...?" - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[Cioccolato Stella]]''' - Cioccolato, or Lady Cio as E'kari calls her, works as a nurse and aspiring doctor for Heartwood. This charming and kind healer can often be seen sporting pastel colors and traveling around in the company of her Demon Brick, Cenere, which is a close friend of Max. E'kari has always been very fond of this miqo'te since her arrival and is one of the few she trusts to care for Kira and Max in her absence.

: ● '''[[Kaiya Ailbhe]]''' - The librarian, chief of medicine and over-all brains of Heartwood. E'kari admires the patience of this woman but also feels horribly guilty that the actions of her free company have driven Kaiya to take up smoking. Occasionally E'kari will bring Kaiya cinnamon sticks en masse as an attempt to give her something roughly cigarette shaped to hold and suck on. It is unknown if Doctor Ailhbe actually enjoys these or if she is merely humoring E'kari. Hopefully at the very least she is not being driven to smoke those as well...

: ● '''[[Zana Amaro]]''' - An aloof gunslinger and self proclaimed alley-cat. Despite being told not to, E'kari still insists on respectfully referring to this miqo'te as Lady Zana. When this woman is armed and in a foul mood . . . heaven help her target. E'kari has seen Zana rip a man's arm clean off. However Zana does also have a soft side. When E'kari was gravely injured in an attempt on her life, Zana stationed herself in the clinic to watch over her.

: ● '''[[Moralee Relen]]''' - Known to E'kari as "Mordry". This Au'Ra woman is rather complex for many reasons. Regardless E'kari cares greatly about Moralee and Mora in equal measure--although Mordry's "Moralee-half" is more familiar to her. Some time ago Mordry required E'kari's help with a somewhat risky task. This evoked the ire of her usually perpetually cheerful husband. Vektis has yet to forgive Mordry to this day, which fills the Seeker with guilt and remorse. However, because of that mission, E'kari learned how to brew a special and ancient potion she dubbed, "The Draught of the Dreamwalker".

: ● '''[[Neville Synch]]''' - This good natured marksman is the mate of Zana Amaro and the best friend of E'yami Amane. Over the period she has known him, this man has done a lot for E'kari's family which she could never repay. Though she does not know him too well personally she trusts him fully regardless. She always gets a chuckle out of the banter between Neville and Vektis.

: ● '''[[Vahn Quietfury]]''' - A sweet little boy with a curious connection to an elder dragon. E'kari first met the half lalafell on a caravan mission that was attacked. In the absence of his own mother, the Seeker would often look after Vahn when his father was away. One day when Vahn was playing with some of the other boys in the company yard he exhibited dangerous abilities. He and his father were sent away for the potential danger they posed. E'kari still loves Vahn like a son.

: ● '''[[Brandon Stormstrider]]''' - The Hyur father of Vahn Quietfury. E'kari met Brandon a short time after Vahn. The two became close friends, as the miqo'te was one of the few Heartwood members Brandon trusted. She would often do simple favors for the father and son to make their lives easier such as cleaning or bringing home pineapples. Upon their leaving to a new safehaven the Seeker found herself deeply saddend, however Brandon still sneaks over to the company on occasion. Brandon has placed E'kari under the protection of his men known only as "The Rogues".

: ● '''[[Enkhjargal Dalamiq]]''' - This stoic summoner is actually E'kari's master. He took her under his wing when she first arrived to Heartwood and had to terrorize her into being able to use her magic for anything beyond healing. His methods worked and looking back, E'kari owes him all of the strength she possesses now. Beyond that, she thinks he is a wonderful person who has natural ability with children. Who knew!

: ● '''[[Camille Everardi]]''' - Camille is Enkhjargal Dalamiq's wife and a talented mage, among many other things. E'kari has seen Camille fight in more than one way in the past with spars. She found this woman to be a strong female rolemodel for her in the past when she was just learning to fight--and still looks up to her to this day. E'kari couldn't be happier that her master and friend found happiness in each other's company.

: ● '''[[Chokho Viqqoh]]''' - A fierce, fiery and loyal amnesiac-Keeper who recently joined Heartwood. Since her arrival, Chokho and E'kari have become fast friends; bonding over their shared love of martial arts and string instruments. Though the two differ greatly in temperament and personality they have a shared respect for one another.

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#4d0000;font-size:14px;color:#FFFFFF;">Acquaintances</div><div style="border:0px solid; padding:8px">===

: ● '''[[Narumi Kotokaze]]''' - More commonly referred to as "Kota". E'kari met this Maelstrom affiliated bounty hunter on the road when she was set upon by highwaymen--which Kota easily dispatched. Since then the Raen has been promoted to first lieutenant of the Storm-guard and assigned to work as the handler of the former pirate Skyfwyb. The officer comissions her medicine from E'kari's "Alchemist's Alley". 

:● '''[[Nevrynn Alarone]]''' - While E'kari initially mistrusted the Seeker for his roguish persona and wanderlust, in resent months she has come to warm up to her sister's mate. Though she may not know him as well as she might like, he makes her sister happy. And the affection between the two are plain to see.

: ● '''[[Jake Jakkya]]''' - A red-lenses wearing void-mage who has spent a great deal of his life as a pit fighter. This spellsword is particularly close to E'kari's adopted mother, Nack, which makes him a brother of sorts. E'kari sorely wishes he would be less devil-may-care in demeanor at times, or at least care a bit more about his own life. She's always pleased when he pops up unharmed now and again. This former criminal has been blacklisted from Heartwood for his criminal debts to the Syndicate--though he has since paid them back in full, becoming an ally to the group.

: ● '''[[Ash Valken]]''' - The tall, brooding brother of Nyscera who has a strong dislike for Rath. E'kari met this former bandit spying on her a few times. Eventually the two had a sit-down conversation and became close--which was a new thing for the Au'Ra. E'kari taught Ash how to play a grasswhistle, fixed his broken hearing-aid and engaged in a playful spar. Somehow, in one way or another, most of their interactions end in awkward sexual-tension. The day Ash left Heartwood, E'kari gave him a necklace made from a strap of her doctor's bag to remember her by and encouraged him to follow his dreams.

: ● '''[[Akiyuki Okuma]]''' - The large, quiet, but overall pleasant husband of Cio who has joined Heartwood since his marriage to the plucky, pastel nursemaid. This reserved Au'Ra is a welcome addition to the family.

: ● '''[[Kenoni Eien’no]]''' - The betrothed of her friend Moralee. A stern and stoic acquaintance but never the less, E'kari admires his loyalty and commitment to Mordry. She hopes the two will have a wonderful life together with their child.

: ● '''[[J'edite Shedai]]''' - A fellow enthusiast of martial arts that spends most of her time roaming Thanalan seeking glory for the Jackal tribe. The two have had run-ins here and there as J'edite was on hunts and once sparred under the Sultan tree. The Seekers employ very different styles of their own making: while E'kari fights with her heavy handed "Golem Step" ideal for doing battle with armed and armored foes; J'edite uses fast kicks transitioning into fluid jabs in her "Fire Dancer" style that proves to be the bane of slower opponents. As it stands the two are friendly rivals.

: ● '''[[Alpon Adpon]]''' - The Pink Punisher! E'kari has met this "battle-chef" in passing more than once. The lalafell's skill in combat seems to rival his culinary prowess.

: ● '''[[Namaka Ebisu]]''' - A strange and sweet water-sprite who lives in a fountain. You want tree slugs? Because this is how you get tree slugs.

: ● '''[[Alistar Stormfist]]''' - Found by Heartwood on the road to Little Ala Mhigo, this former Garlean slave was near death and wearing a magitek collar. With no where else to go and no life to return to, this gentle giant returned with the caravan to the Heartwood Homestead.

: ● '''[[Lucinda Kovix]]''' - This kindly and capable, Ishgardian drifter met Doctor Sol as she was returning from conversing with the Everschade and her husband's chocobo ran off. Lucinda and E'kari worked together to catch the bird and got to talking about Lucy's need for work and also to find her missing brother. The Miqo'te has since come to stay at Heartwood which has overjoyed E'kari.

: ● '''[[L'nela Varya]]''' - A one-eyed woman who really enjoys taking a bite out of life! In all seriousness--L'nela is a chipper and quirky person. A little emotional at times, but rightfully so; as her recent years have been filled with trauma. Both physical and emotional. Careful, she likes to nibble!
 

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#4d0000;font-size:14px;color:#FFFFFF;">Disliked</div><div style="border:0px solid; padding:8px">===

:● '''[[Tharl Oom Khash - NPC]]''' - A being made of corruption who takes his name from his place of creation. While to most guardians of the Shroud he would be a natural enemy anyway--this thing has taken a special and terrible shine to tormenting E'kari and all of Heartwood. His track record of terrible deeds is staggering and body count ever on the rise. His most memorable in E'kari's mind were her children, Sagu'a and Cize. The vengeful mother aided in his demise by pummeling him with special stones--from Tynos and Kaiya--she formed into barbaric gauntlets.


:● '''[[The Pumpking - NPC]]''' - This strange and otherwordly being was initially just an unsettling presence that occasionally appeared in the Heartwood halls offering bargains for steep moral prices. It was not until this squash-headed man manipulated Tustin Lafell into a contract that he became E'kari's enemy. The Seeker used excessive force against the entitiy, beating him into a puddle of black ooze. He has since returned to haunt Heartwood, though has stifled a sum of E'kari's animosity toward him by fixing her carbuncle's shattered gem and helping finish off Khash for good.

:● '''[[Skyfwyb Aergankawyn]]''' - E'kari was not fond of this woman from the start. The monsterous Seawolf had committed crimes against Heartwood on numerous occasions. E'kari was glad to hear of her sting and arrest by the Maelstrom. In the time that has followed, however, the curt and belligerent captain seems to have changed her ways to some extent. E'kari now views her slightly more favorably after having witnessed Skyfwyb's capacity to care genuinely for another person. It was also by the aid of this former pirate that the Solsong household was able to cross the sea to the east. As it stands now they are allies.

== <div style="padding:10px 15px; background:#4d0000; font-size:20px; color:#ffffff">'''Character Trivia'''</div>==
 
:■ E'kari refers to people as 'master' or 'lady' because as a young newcomer to Gridania she was hazed by the local youths; who told her that it was how non-tribal people spoke to one another. Excited to make 'friends' the Seeker picked this up almost immediately. It was not until this was an ingrained habit that she learned it was all a ruse for E'kari to make a fool of herself every time she spoke.
:■ Despite the skill not coming up particularly often, E'kari is adept at Thavnarian belly-dancing. This and many similar styles of celebratory dance were used among she and her kin in their tribal lands; though this is actually not their people's only connection to the middle east. The dress style, use of Alchemy and herbal medicines, even their taste in food has been greatly influenced by trade with Thavnair, much like many others who reside in Thanalan.
:■ E'kari will often experience an inconsolable sense of dread when E'yami is in emotional distress or danger, even if they are far apart. This link between twins seems to go both ways.
:■ Due to E'kari's heavy aspection to Earth she is notoriously difficult to knock off her feet and has immense stamina; adversely, she is not as quick as she'd like to be and swimming in deep water takes a significant amount of energy.
:■ Though most are unaware--or attribute some of her mannerisms to merely being quirky--E'kari actually suffers from high functioning autism. Social queues tend to be her biggest hurdle, along with focusing on the big picture of tasks as opposed to minut details, and sorting out painful emotions.

<div>
=== '''♦ General''' ===
<hr>
 
: (This page is a work in progress!)
: A refugee that has risen swiftly through the ranks of the Malestrom; first, as a courier and commissioned bounty hunter, officer, then a lieutenant overseeing a privateer ship. Since arriving in Eorzea she has known nothing but the navy, and plans to serve them for the rest of her days. Because of the difficulty many sailors had with pronouncing her name, First Lieutenant Kotokaze goes instead by Kota. <div>
 



=== '''♦ Appearance''' ===
<hr>
 

: This Raen is incredibly small built, and while this causes most people to underestimate her--Narumi uses this to her every advantage. If you see glowing pink limbal rings eyeing you from the shadows, it's likely already too late.

: Kota has wild red hair that she often pulls back into a braid when she's working, though it still barely contains it.

: Across her belly, Narumi bears a grizzly scar from where she took Skyfwyb's axe during a brawl the two had.

: Having grown up poor and in the company of sailors for the past 7 cycles, Kota is not one for owning many 'outfits'. She prefers tight leather when she's after a mark--as it does not hinder her sneaking--but when she's on deck or representing her Grand Company she will always don her pristine officer's jacket with pride and dignity. <div>
 



=== '''♦ History ''' ===
<hr>
 
: Kota's immediate family were a Raen clan that lived on the outskirts of occupied Doma. Her mother was a woman of finery so her father had to make sure he could go to town and get her the silks and sake she liked so much. Her father was a simple hunter and the best he could ever do was get game meat, furs and leather to sell. But he did his best and taught Narumi and her older brother how to hunt as well.

: As her brother was a full 10 years older than her, eventually the job of hunting and overseeing the hunting fell to the siblings. On their trips her brother had no shortage of stories about scary Xaela that cannibalized their own young if they were born weak and slept with animals in caves. Meanwhile in town, her grandfather and grandmother would sell their wares in the marketplace.

: One day when Kota's grandparents were in the city her grandfather bumped into a soldier. When he attempted to explain that he hadn't meant any trouble they mistook the 70 year old man's cane for a weapon and beat him to death in the street to assert dominance. When Kota's father and grandmother went to reclaim his body there was hardly a bone what wasn't broken. One horn was shattered to pieces and another hung loosely from his bloody corpse. All his valuables had even been picked from him. Including all the money they'd made all day for that market visit.

: Kota's father bowed and scraped and thanked the Garlean soldiers for "allowing him" to reclaim the dead mound that was once his father, and left the city. It was that day Kota's father decided their money would no longer be spent on fine silks and drink. He would fund the construction of a ship in secret and get his family as far way from this horrible place as he could. Kota, her older brother and her father hunted like mad for the few years that followed and eventually got a small vessel of their own. As her father required deck hands, he conscripted his 20 year old son and 10 year old daughter to learn the basics of sailing with him.

: When Kota was 12 years of age, they finally went. There was a blessing in sailing a ship so small. They were able to pass through Garlean occupied waters and the territories of pirates unnoticed. Kota's family as hopeful. Until something terrible happened. Distantly the moon seemed to grow sickly--the sky turned red and rough waters hit them like even the most practiced sailor had never seen before.

: Kota's mother screamed above the harsh winds and waves for her to retreat below the deck with her and her grandmother. Brave, foolish and never caring for her own safety; the tiny 12 year old rushed onto the deck with her father and brother to try and keep the ship sailing true, but as she did so a bolt of lightning crashed down onto their mast.

: She couldn't remember if it was the shock of the bolt, the force of the wind, or the wet deck that caused it, but Narumi was thrown overboard, hitting her head on the side of the ship as she twisted in the waves. The next waking memory she had was laying in a warm dry bed surrounded by men in red coats. They all spoke in confusion and mild panic over the child in odd dialect of Eorzean that she could barely understand, but a tall man with dark skin that sat the nearest to her was kind and reassuring, putting his oversized jacket over her shoulders.

: The Highlander navel officer spent the rest of their long voyage to Limsa taking care of their new guest when he wasn't busy. In the meantime the men taught the girl important things: how to swear, how to spit, how to sail and--occasionally, behind the back of their commanding officer--how to drink. But never so much the kid would be sloshed.

: With no where else to go once they reached port, Kota was offered a simple job as a courier for the Highlander's messages and such, which he paid her an unreasonable sum for. He also offered her his bunk at the barracks while he was away.

: Kota became well known as the Maelstrom's helper and errand girl for the next few years. Much beloved by the older folks and tolerated by the younger ones at the behest of her highlander guardian, whom she would wait for by the docks every day he was gone at sea. But on one voyage he never came back. Nor did the rest of his crew.
: The Raen continued to go to the dock every day past when they were due to come home and found herself disappointed for some time. Eventually another ship visited the waters they'd been in and found the wreckage of their ship filled with holes. They'd been killed by a Seawolf Slaver and his crew.

: Upon hearing the news Kota slipped into a dark place. She began drinking heavily when she could and starting fights in the Wench. One day she made the bold choice to steal a pirate bounty from the Maelstrom's wanted board.

: Narumi wasn't a strong person by any means, but she was quick and sly and hard to notice. This would be her advantage. The Raen managed to stow away in a barrel on a pirate ship and busted out when she'd been transported on board. Once there and alone she busted out and found she was in a storage room. Beside her was a small purple... thing. She'd never seen a creature like him before but he was clearly being kept for illegal trade. Kota picked the lock and strapped the baby behemoth onto her back. And went to confront her mark.

: She was able to catch him alone, knock him out, and drag him from the ship. Albeit awkwardly. With the mission completed she was ecstatic to receive not only pay but praise for bringing him alive to face justice. Kota and her new companion Goru began to work two jobs, courier and bounty hunter.

: The Raen continued this trend until she was about 16 when something changed her. She was on a job to find a man who was wanted for potential dealings with the pirate who'd killed her Highlander guardian. She couldn't pass this up in a million years. Kota was able to track him to where he'd made port and went to "rest" for the night. When she snuck into his room through the window she was appalled to find the man fornicating with a girl at least three years younger than herself who was branded with the sigil of the Seawolf Slaver who'd sunk The True Journey.

: The shrill sounds of the little girl's crying caused something in the Raen's mind to snap, and before she even had time to place a calculated shot she kept from the window onto his back and stabbed a paralyzing arrow just to the left of his spine and snapped it off so the head remained stuck there. She threw the now helpless man onto the floor beside the bed where the girl still lay. She couldn't kill, but he needed to suffer. The Raen took her hunting knife from her side; and in her rage, began to saw off the flesh from the top of his head.

: It was simple. She was good at this. It was like skinning an animal like was her job in her homeland. The man screamed at the top of his lungs until he foamed at the mouth and passed out from pain. Kota only came to when the little girl beside her called out in between sobs, "Stop it!"

: Narumi looked down at her trembling, bloody and hair covered hands. In that moment she was the monster. The Au Ra threw a sack full of money at the girl and gave her the assailant's shirt off the nightstand, demanding she flee to one of the Maelstrom's headquarters in any of the nearby towns.

: After bringing the man to justice he was questioned about his involvement with the pirate slaver and promptly hung thereafter. Kota tanned the scalp to leather and kept it in a chest as a reminder of her own savagery.

: She had decided that that would be the legacy of her justice; and before she would finally meet the killer of her guardian, she would fill that chest with the scalps of pirates and wicked men full along the way.

=== '''♦ Behavior ''' ===

 

: Kota is a very difficult person to get along with. She's blunt, loud, drinks too much, speaks Eorzean in a horrible dialect and isn't above punching someone in the face if she thinks they've earned it. Thus is the plight of children brought up by sailors. But she's also fiercely loyal,just and empathetic. Bound by her honor, Kota will never turn away from a person in need of her.

: Every now and again, Narumi becomes incredibly homesick. She alleviates this by drinking Sake and playing her shamisen.

: 💑 '''[[Skyfwyb Aergankawyn]]''' - Skyf was originally one of Kota's bounties that she was to bring in, but because of her size, power and difficult base to infiltrate, she had little luck taking her quickly. This was compounded by the fact that the pirate almost never went ashore anywhere aside from her cove. The Au'ra would hit the cove with constant guerilla-style attacks every chance she got. Eventually, Skyf just got used to having the Raen around with the two of them fighting all the time. Through a series of odd circumstances, the two became romantically involved--albeit secretly. When one of the ships in Skyf's fleet was sunk and she was arrested for piracy she was given a choice: become a privateer or hang. Putting pride aside for the sake of her lover, the Roe lowered the black flag for a red one--now the two fight for the same side and even occupy the same vessel.

: ● '''[[J'edite Shedai]]''' - Jet comes from the desert. A place that, as a Doman sailor, Kota doesn't understand very well. The two met in the Drowning Wench where they got into a drinking contest that spanned several bells. Kota loved hearing about Jet's monster hunting, while the Seeker was thrilled to learn about pirate hunting. Narumi may have drunkenly promised the use of Skyf's ship to J'edite should she ever need to fight sea monsters. Hopefully that doesn't make her too mad.

: ● '''[[E'kari Sol]]''' – Narumi met this Seeker while she was running a caravan through Costa and was attacked by highwaymen. Too nice for her own good, E'kari didn't even seem to be aware the men were trying to rob her. Kota dashed in and fought back the group, choking out their leader. When all was said and done, the Raen accompanied the Seeker the rest of the way to her destination. Since then Kota has always gone to "The Alchemist's Alley" for her and her stationed vessel's medical needs. 

: ● '''[[Kaiya Ailbhe]]''' - This Keeper was responsible for the tactical operation that got Skyf arrested. Unfortunately, as the bounty hunter that had spent the most time observing, Kota was called upon to take part in this attack as well. Though the circumstances of their meeting were poor, Kota looks upon the tactician with respect. After all, generally the Maelstrom and the Arcanist's Guild have a very positive working relationship.

: ● '''[[Nyscera Alarone]]''' - Nyscera was the first Xaela that Narumi had ever gotten to know personally. And while she was apprehensive at first, it didn't take long to find that she was not a cannibal like her brother's stories always promised. Kota has begun learning to hone close range combat from this seasoned ninja.

: ● '''[[Bennett Cooper]]''' - The adopted son of Nyscera. He seems to be a pretty skilled fighter for himself with a varied array of skills and interests. A while back Bennett's mother was killed by Skyf. Kota deeply regrets not being able to stop her, and bears a scar from the attempt.

: ● '''[[Zazkiny Zinky]]''' - Small, fiery and a little rude, Kota sees a lot of her self in this lalafell. Narumi has offered to take Zinky along with her as an apprentice bounty hunter to show her legal ways she can use her flame aspected aether to help people. Maybe one day Zinky will join the Maelstrom?

:● '''[[Zirnwilf Keltmerlsyn]]''' - Captain of The Wailing Siren and the man who sunk The True Journey naval ship. His trade is in raiding, plunder but mostly in the capture and trade of slaves. He favors miqo'te or au'ra women, which he brands with the sigil of his flag and traffics. Despite his reputation being grand, he's incredibly hard to track down; especially because no enemy that has encountered his ship has gone unsunk. Kota has her eyes on bringing him in for the murder of Captain Armstrong. What the Raen doesn't realize is that her own actions have not gone unnoticed.

=== '''♦ General''' ===
<hr>
 
: (This page is a work in progress!) Skyf is pretty much the epitome of "The Big Angry Pirate." She is usually seen walking around with a very obvious resting bitch face. If one was to talk to her, depending on her mood, she would either be cocky and teasing or just plain bitchy and angry. Obviously her mood is based on her day like anyone else. Skyf was in command of three ships but since her arrival to Eorzea, she only has two left. She has a fairly large crew and is the Captain of all two of them, though now they belong to the Maelstrom. (Don't worry, I made it so this is not OP is many different ways. No need to be alarmed.) She's also psychotic. Just a heads up. <div>
 



=== '''♦ Appearance''' ===
<hr>
 

: "Fuck off." Skyf is usually seen wearing all black with some color in either her weapon(s). She usually wears some type of long coat with big gloves and high boots. Skyf is almost NEVER seen without her bandanna on. She also has to wear Maelstrom colours from time to time.

: Skyf is pretty built. She has very obvious muscles all around her body, though can be hidden decently well if she is clothed. <div>
 



=== '''♦ Behaviour''' ===
<hr>
 
: As stated previously, Skyf is the "The Big Angry Pirate." Cocky and loud when she's in a good mood, and bitchy when she is ANY other mood. She's not really one to back down from a fight if challenged but will only agree to it if she thinks it will be worth it in some type of way... or if you piss her off really badly. Skyf's rude in the way where if she sees someone she likes the look of, she will see them as mostly a piece of meat and she will try to test them for being "Pillow Material." What is "Pillow Material" you ask? Gonna have to find that out for yourself IC if you wanna know!

<hr>
 
: (When Vektis says he is the Dragoon of Whitebrim, it means he is the Knights Dragoon, swore to protect Whitebrim which is under the protection of Durendaire, so essentially he has sworn himself to Durendaire.)
: A young, energetic miqo'te who is dedicated to protecting who he loves, and spreading joy. You will almost NEVER see this cat angry, scared, or sad! While he may have a silly, fun, crazy side, he also has a serious one. The reason why Vektis can use ice aether, is because his aether is ice aspected. He was also trained a little in thaumaturgy as a child. <div>
 



=== '''♦ Appearance''' ===
<hr>
 

:"Vektis is the bestest!" Vektis usually wears the same thing. All the time. Everyday. He wears a Wine Red coat, with baggy pants and boots. Sometimes he wears light armor when he spars or goes to the Grindstone, and he almost never wears his Dragoon armor.

:Vektis is pretty toned all around his body, but nothing like raging muscles or anything like that. <div>
 



=== '''♦ Behaviour''' ===
<hr>
 
: Vektis is a very energetic, lovable, happy-go-lucky miqo'te who will probably hug you whether you want one or not, no matter who you are. He is always quick to try and help someone if they ask for it, especially if he likes that said person. While Vektis has a very silly side to him, he can be serious when he needs to be. He always tries to put others before himself, even more so if he loves that said person.

: 💑 '''[[E'kari Sol]]''' - Vektis has never loved anyone more in his life. Vektis sees E’kari as the light of his life, and would sacrifice anything for her. Vektis first met E’kari when she showed up at Heartwood with her sister, E’yami Amane. When he first saw her, he thought she was cute, nice, and smart. Soon after, they began to see each other. Vektis and E'kari are happily married.

: ● '''[[E'kira Sol]]''' - E'kira Sol is Vektis' daughter. He loves E'kira and E'kari more than himself and will do anything to protect them. Vektis loves to interact with E'kira as if he was talking to any other person, never using anything like 'baby talk'.

: ● '''[[Chip Wayman]]''' - Chip Wayman is one of Vektis’ favorite people. Ever. He came to realize quickly that Chip is probably his best friend,ever since he first met him. They easily bounce off each other in conversation, and rival each others strength. Sadly, Vektis has not seen one of his best friends in a while.

: ● '''[[Aekira Swyfte]]''' - Vektis looks at Aekira in a way where one would be able to poke fun at each other while still maintaining a good friendship. Every time he sees Aekira, he HAS to make fun of the fact that the man looks great in heels. He first met Aekira at his first Grindstone, where Aekira got angry at Vektis for constantly yelling, just like how most people usually meet Vektis!

: ● '''[[E'vehlke Sohj]]''' - When Vektis first came to Heartwood, E'vehlke saw him as perverted idiot. Now, they are good friends, and she even gave him permission to call her 'Vehlke.'

: ● '''[[Rath Alarone]]''' - Vektis and Rath became good friends quickly, probably because they both like to screw around from time to time. Rath hired Vektis as his personal liaison before Vektis became an Executive, and Vektis thinks highly of Rath because of it.

: ● '''[[Nyscera Alarone]]''' - Nyscera was one of the first people Vektis met when he came to Heartwood, next to Harvest and Sokhatai. Even though Vektis can piss Nyscera off to no end, they're still good friends.

: ● '''[[Tynos Riller]]''' - Vektis and Tynos are good friends. It is evident in the way where they can take jabs at each other all the time, wherever they are, and still maintain their friendship. Vektis looks up to Tynos, and will listen to most advice from him.

: ● '''[[Conrad Steelsong]]''' - Vektis always liked Conrad, ever since he got a coffee mug thrown at him and then slammed down into a desk! He always, and still does, see Conrad as one of the strongest people he knows. They became good friends, even if Conrad doesn't want to admit it. They have had a few adventures together, epic and comedic all at the same time.

: ● '''[[Bennett Cooper]]''' - Vektis sees Cooper as his little brother. He wants to shape Cooper to be like himself when he is older, hence why Vektis teaches him the 'Rules of Vektis' and the "Secret Rules of Vektis.' Cooper is the heir to the title of "The Bestest"

: ● '''[[Sakeru Wakeru]]''' - Like Cooper, Vektis also sees Sakeru as his younger brother, though...not exactly in the same way... While Vektis loves Sakeru, Vektis still thinks that the lalafell can be mischievous and instigating.

: ● '''[[Solemn Olive]]''' - Vektis first met Olive when he was doing a small delivery job for Heartwood before he was even a liaison. They met in the Drowning Wench, and right as they met, they helped out someone who was having an issue in the Wench with a curse. They now see each other as good friends.

: ● '''[[Reina Sol]]''' - Reina is Vektis' younger half-sister, and they find comfort in each other when they need it. Vektis is protective of his sister, even if he never shows it. He wants her to be happy, and he wants her to have a comfortable life, and will do anything to try and provide that for her.

: ● '''[[Noa Lanbatal]]''' - Vektis first met Noa when he was taking a glace at her behind in the Wench, while he was out on a shopping trip with Enkh, Reina and E've. They came to talking, and whenever Vektis sees Noa now, he is always sure to wave to her. Noa helped Vektis out with a decently big issue, and Vektis sees Noa as a good person because of it.

: ● '''[[Enkhjargal Dalamiq]]''' - Right away, as soon as Vektis met Enkh, he loved him to death. He wanted to be best friends with Enkh, and wanted to be apart of what he did, all the time. Enkh, on the other hand, did not share the same opinion. He thought that Vektis was an annoying, lying, perverted catboy, who was as good-for-nothing. Now, Enkh tolerates Vektis, and they have become friends over time.

: ● '''[[Harvest Krayk]]''' - Harvest was one of Vetkis' first and only friends when Vektis came to Heartwood. He called Vektis 'Harem' because of the way Vektis acted, and they were such good friends that Vektis cried when Harvest left Heartwood. He is still good friends with Harvest and always will be.

: ● '''[[Idriel Tuskglade]]''' - Idriel is Vektis' guardian, and he almost sees her as a mother. She took care of him when he was younger, and still does now. Vektis goes to Idriel for advice when he needs it, even if she is a little ball of anger.

: ● '''[[A'ki Woods]]''' – Vektis and A'ki were mates before E'kari came along, but A'ki left for a long time without telling Vektis where she went, so Vektis grew apart from her in the time that she was gone. When she did show up again, Vektis broke things off with her because he didn't feel the same connection with her as he once did.

=== '''♦ General''' ===
<hr>
 
: (When Vektis says he is the Dragoon of Whitebrim, it means he is the Knights Dragoon, swore to protect Whitebrim which is under the protection of Durendaire, so essentially he has sworn himself to Durendaire.)
: A young, energetic miqo'te who is dedicated to protecting who he loves, and spreading joy. You will almost NEVER see this cat angry, scared, or sad! While he may have a silly, fun, crazy side, he also has a serious one. The reason why Vektis can use ice aether, is because his aether is ice aspected. He was also trained a little in thaumaturgy as a child. <div>
 



=== '''♦ Appearance''' ===
<hr>
 

:"Vektis is the bestest!" Vektis usually wears the same thing. All the time. Everyday. He wears a Wine Red coat, with baggy pants and boots. Sometimes he wears light armor when he spars or goes to the Grindstone, and he almost never wears his Dragoon armor.

:Vektis is pretty toned all around his body, but nothing like raging muscles or anything like that. <div>
 



=== '''♦ Behaviour''' ===
<hr>
 
: Vektis is a very energetic, lovable, happy-go-lucky miqo'te who will probably hug you whether you want one or not, no matter who you are. He is always quick to try and help someone if they ask for it, especially if he likes that said person. While Vektis has a very silly side to him, he can be serious when he needs to be. He always tries to put others before himself, even more so if he loves that said person.

: 💑 '''[[E'kari Sol]]''' - Vektis has never loved anyone more in his life. Vektis sees E’kari as the light of his life, and would sacrifice anything for her. Vektis first met E’kari when she showed up at Heartwood with her sister, E’yami Amane. When he first saw her, he thought she was cute, nice, and smart. Soon after, they began to see each other. Vektis and E'kari are happily married.

: ● '''[[E'kira Sol]]''' - E'kira Sol is Vektis' daughter. He loves E'kira and E'kari more than himself and will do anything to protect them. Vektis loves to interact with E'kira as if he was talking to any other person, never using anything like 'baby talk'.

: ● '''[[Chip Wayman]]''' - Chip Wayman is one of Vektis’ favorite people. Ever. He came to realize quickly that Chip is probably his best friend,ever since he first met him. They easily bounce off each other in conversation, and rival each others strength. Sadly, Vektis has not seen one of his best friends in a while.

: ● '''[[Aekira Swyfte]]''' - Vektis looks at Aekira in a way where one would be able to poke fun at each other while still maintaining a good friendship. Every time he sees Aekira, he HAS to make fun of the fact that the man looks great in heels. He first met Aekira at his first Grindstone, where Aekira got angry at Vektis for constantly yelling, just like how most people usually meet Vektis!

: ● '''[[E'vehlke Sohj]]''' - When Vektis first came to Heartwood, E'vehlke saw him as perverted idiot. Now, they are good friends, and she even gave him permission to call her 'Vehlke.'

: ● '''[[Rath Alarone]]''' - Vektis and Rath became good friends quickly, probably because they both like to screw around from time to time. Rath hired Vektis as his personal liaison before Vektis became an Executive, and Vektis thinks highly of Rath because of it.

: ● '''[[Nyscera Alarone]]''' - Nyscera was one of the first people Vektis met when he came to Heartwood, next to Harvest and Sokhatai. Even though Vektis can piss Nyscera off to no end, they're still good friends.

: ● '''[[Tynos Riller]]''' - Vektis and Tynos are good friends. It is evident in the way where they can take jabs at each other all the time, wherever they are, and still maintain their friendship. Vektis looks up to Tynos, and will listen to most advice from him.

: ● '''[[Conrad Steelsong]]''' - Vektis always liked Conrad, ever since he got a coffee mug thrown at him and then slammed down into a desk! He always, and still does, see Conrad as one of the strongest people he knows. They became good friends, even if Conrad doesn't want to admit it. They have had a few adventures together, epic and comedic all at the same time.

: ● '''[[Bennett Cooper]]''' - Vektis sees Cooper as his little brother. He wants to shape Cooper to be like himself when he is older, hence why Vektis teaches him the 'Rules of Vektis' and the "Secret Rules of Vektis.' Cooper is the heir to the title of "The Bestest"

: ● '''[[Sakeru Wakeru]]''' - Like Cooper, Vektis also sees Sakeru as his younger brother, though...not exactly in the same way... While Vektis loves Sakeru, Vektis still thinks that the lalafell can be mischievous and instigating.

: ● '''[[Solemn Olive]]''' - Vektis first met Olive when he was doing a small delivery job for Heartwood before he was even a liaison. They met in the Drowning Wench, and right as they met, they helped out someone who was having an issue in the Wench with a curse. They now see each other as good friends.

: ● '''[[Reina Sol]]''' - Reina is Vektis' younger half-sister, and they find comfort in each other when they need it. Vektis is protective of his sister, even if he never shows it. He wants her to be happy, and he wants her to have a comfortable life, and will do anything to try and provide that for her.

: ● '''[[Noa Lanbatal]]''' - Vektis first met Noa when he was taking a glace at her behind in the Wench, while he was out on a shopping trip with Enkh, Reina and E've. They came to talking, and whenever Vektis sees Noa now, he is always sure to wave to her. Noa helped Vektis out with a decently big issue, and Vektis sees Noa as a good person because of it.

: ● '''[[Enkhjargal Dalamiq]]''' - Right away, as soon as Vektis met Enkh, he loved him to death. He wanted to be best friends with Enkh, and wanted to be apart of what he did, all the time. Enkh, on the other hand, did not share the same opinion. He thought that Vektis was an annoying, lying, perverted catboy, who was as good-for-nothing. Now, Enkh tolerates Vektis, and they have become friends over time.

: ● '''[[Harvest Krayk]]''' - Harvest was one of Vetkis' first and only friends when Vektis came to Heartwood. He called Vektis 'Harem' because of the way Vektis acted, and they were such good friends that Vektis cried when Harvest left Heartwood. He is still good friends with Harvest and always will be.

: ● '''[[Idriel Tuskglade]]''' - Idriel is Vektis' guardian, and he almost sees her as a mother. She took care of him when he was younger, and still does now. Vektis goes to Idriel for advice when he needs it, even if she is a little ball of anger.

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#4d0000;font-size:14px;color:#FFFFFF;">Acquaintances</div><div style="border:0px solid; padding:8px">===

: ● '''[[A'ki Woods]]''' – Vektis and A'ki were mates before E'kari came along, but A'ki left for a long time without telling Vektis where she went, so Vektis grew apart from her in the time that she was gone. When she did show up again, Vektis broke things off with her because he didn't feel the same connection with her as he once did. 

: ● '''[[Camille Everardi]]''' - While Vektis sees Enkh as his good friend, he sees Camille as a good acquaintance. He enjoys her company, and likes speaking with her.

: ● '''[[Solid Sequoia]]''' - Ever since Vektis met Solid through E've at the runestone, Vektis has liked her. He maaaay or may not have annoyed the ever living hell out of her with all his bad ice puns, but...that shouldn't be that big a deal, right...?

: ● '''[[Namaka Ebisu]]''' - Vektis first met Nama when he was just talking with Conrad in his Heartwood House when the friendly Water Sprite just kind of...came out of the tub and said hi. She was nice to Vektis right off the bat, so Vektis did the same thing right back at her! It wasn't very hard to like Nama in Vektis' eyes.

: ● '''[[Xihvi'ir Valathri]]''' Ashy, as everyone in Heartwood calls him is a nice enough guy. Thats pretty much about all you need to be on this list, so here he is! Vektis likes when he plays the harp. Yup.

Vektis used to be friends with this individual but it is VERY rare that Vektis will see her as anything but a disease ever again.

<div>
=== '''♦ General''' ===
<hr>
 
: (This page has recently undergone a major rework! Check it out if you want to know what has changed!)
: This overly polite and apologetic medicine-woman can often be found scuttling about making deliveries for her shop. Due to her diligent work, E'kari's Alchemist Alley has become one of the Alchemist Guild's favored subsidiaries and is frequently called upon to do business as a representative of their organization. <div>
 



=== '''♦ Appearance''' ===
<hr>
 

: E'kari is a Seeker/Keeper half-breed who carries some physical traits from her mother and father. Her eyes are narrow slit-pupils, skin pale but capable of bronzing in the sun like a Seeker; though her fur is fluffy and tail is long like a Keeper.

: This miqo'te has a snow-print mane--white with undertones if black and grey--with pale blue eyes and bangle-stripes that frame her face.

: In true mage form--E'kari can usually be found in little to no armor, even when going into battle. It slows her down in preforming martial arts and also disrupts her casting to wear anything too heavy. Instead she prefers comfortable robes or her labcoat. <div>
 



=== '''♦ History ''' ===
<hr>
 
: The parentage of E'yami and E'kari is a taboo matter. One that the Nunh of the Eft ordered upon the strictest of penalty, never to be spoken of. While their mother--E'yari--was a Seeker and one of the designated breeding females to the Nunh; their father--Sagu'a--was actually a roving Keeper who had long since left behind a subservient life with his maternal-family in the Shroud to be a traveling poet, minstrel and anthropologist. The two Miqo'te met when Sagu'a and his scholarly lalafell companion, Anabel Nack, sought a place to rest during their travels. The tribe apprehensively took the researchers in as temporary guests. In that time Sagu'a and E'yari began a secret relationship.

:When it came to light that the two had been together Sagu'a was put to death, and his body unceremoniously left to rot in the heat of the desert just outside of their territory.

: In a double blow, not only was E'yari stricken with grief, but she also discovered she was pregnant. Due to a combination of her melancholy of her lost love, the despair at what her life would be at the whims of her Nunh and complications during the birthing process--E'yari died shortly after her second kit was delivered. The last words she managed to speak before slipping away were the names of her children. Both Doman, in honor of their father who fancied the culture. Yami, meaning dark, and Hikari meaning light--though the midwives were unfamiliar with the tongue, mistaking it simply for /E/kari.

: Upon the twins' birth into the Eft--as per tradition--the clan made a ceremonial offering of their namesake to Azeyma that would determine their role in the tribe. When the flesh was melted from the bones,their appointed wise-woman had determined E'kari was to be the next shaman while E'yami's bones were an augury that she was preordained to be a great warrior.

: The Nunh was pleased by the news and demanded celebration, but found that the females of the tribe were not nearly as thrilled. Many believed that the pale-faced kits with hair of black and white were cursed; killing their mother with ill-omen. Nack took this opportunity to offer her services in raising her friends' children and providing them with education.

:The lalafell's silver tongue managed to coerce the Nunh to allow this arrangement--given he had few other options. The three were put up in a yurt close to the Nunh's own home to keep an eye on the foreigner.

: In the years that proceeded their youth, the twins were given a proper education by the professor--in between being stolen away to be taught their duties to the Eft. While Yami practiced fighting the other tribal youths, Kari was introduced to herbal medicine, burial rites and how to divinate the future with the practice of bone reading.

: Despite the twins' diligent efforts to hone their skills and fulfill thier tribal roles, they sorely lacked any sort of companionship from the other children of the Eft--having learned from their mother's to be wary of the pale-faced Seekers. Because of this, Nack took it upon herself to try and teach the girls the basic art of carbuncle summoning and passed her own Topaz and Emerald gems down to each of them.

: Demure and plagued with anxiety, E'kari was given Nicholas--Nack's Emerald carbuncle--as a therapy animal; while E'yami received Whackara--a Topaz companion who had enough spunk and energy to keep up with her. Both arcanist-pets has served the Professor faithfully since her own youth and passed without incident into the hands of their new masters.

: As the twins neared their teenage years, an odd habit of E'kari's came to light. She could often be found speaking to the streams, winds and rock-faces in the territory which the tribe found very suspicious. Some of the more superstitious members of the tribe were convinced the was speaking to the dead; the Nunh believed this was some gift from the Warden, proving his right to rule was divine.

: Knowing better than to believe any of that, Nack speculated that this was a hereditary trait, passed down from Sagu'a, who was a Hearer. Once more the professor went to the Nunh and convinced him that he should allow her to take the twins to train abroad in Gridania that they might return more powerful and capable of serving him. He agreed to the idea and within a fortnight Nack brought the girls to the Shroud.

: Once in Gridania, E'kari joined the Conjurer's Guild as a student while E'yami sought training in both lance and bow.

: Though eager to make new friends the Seeker found this was easier said than done. The high populous of Hyur and Elezen looked condescendingly upon the tribal girls. It was not out of the ordinary for the more crude classmates to inquire if her parents were cousins. This trouble fitting in was compounded by the fact she didn't seem to learn at the same rate as everyone else. E'kari would often focus on small details of things, so much so that she could not intake an entire lesson. A classroom setting did her little credit, but during her free moments she would visit the Everschade and commune with the Elementals.

: On one such visit, a strong wind blew a small branch down from the great tree; which, E'kari took and mended with magic that it might be used as a crook.

: Due to her natural affinity for the forest and her difficulty with conventional methods of learning she was taken as a personal apprentice to Master E-Sumi-Yan, a patient Padjal who specialized in the guidance of Hearers. Discovering the trick seemed to be hands-on learning, he took every opportunity to have the Seeker accompany him while he worked. E'kari improved quickly under his tutelage, able to stand as a conjurer in her own right.

: Near the end of the girl's time abroad, the Seventh Umbral Calamity struck. With her guild called to act as medics on the field, the twins soon found themselves on the heels of disaster for the duration of the event. E'kari and her classmates followed the guildmasters into the chaos, assisting those who had been wounded or fallen. E'yami acted as E'kari's personal guard as she preformed field surgeries and magical healing. The two witnessed death up close on more than one occasion, finding themselves changed by the end of it all.

: After all was said and done, the girls' respective masters deemed them both students no longer. And while this was a sweet taste, it was also made bitter by the memories of carnage that now haunted them both.

: The twins returned to their desert territory as heroines who represented their tribe with valor and courage. The Nunh held festivities long into the night.It seemed as though they'd finally been accepted, but neither seemed particularly content with staying within the territory any more--not after all they had been through. Together E'yami and E'kari traveled to the Shrine of the Warden, offering an Eft in a pyre for guidance. When the flesh had melted from the bones, Azeyma's will bid they must go--for they had more to do out in the world. E'kari shared this edict with their people and with heavy hearts, they left again to find and fulfill their duties elsewhere until the time the Warden calls for them to return.

=== '''♦ Behavior ''' ===

 

: E'kari has a hard time learning in a conventional sense often requires an exceedingly patient teacher in order to have any real success. However once she does learn something--or is preforming a task she excels in--she is hard-pressed to be outshined.

: While still generally being good natured and apologetic, in combat E'kari is capable of being a formidable opponent. Being a conjurer she will often take the role of a healer, but her connection to the Elementals has also allowed to take a unique approach to martial arts. The Seeker will often harden a stone skin over her hands and feet while delivering blows, or using gales of wind to enhance her movement speed. She has named her self-made fighting style, "The Golem Step" which emphasizes momentum and fluidity. (Much of her techniques in form are inspired by real world Zui Quan)

: Despite her obvious shortcomings, E'kari is a very hopeful person and goes into every situation with optimism for success, even if she has failed at the task a hundred times before. Sometimes it's the hundred and first try that brings success.

: ● '''[[E'yami Amane]]''' - E'kari's protective fraternal twin sister, older by 7 minutes. E'yami has always been a strong source of strength, comfort and adventure as the two have grown. Though she has a very tomboyish and wears tough outer shell, E'kari knows that her sister is actually very caring and sensitive--always putting the needs of others before herself; and that is what makes her E'kari's hero.

: 💑 '''[[Vektis Sol]]''' - E'kari's boisterous, free-spirited and loveable husband. When they first met she admired his self confidence--often shyly observing him kicking down doors to shout his own name at people. There are few in the world who can raise E'kari's spirits like Vektis can. The two became close friends and then a couple shortly there after. Though many people see his behavior as a nuisance, E'kari celebrates her husband's off-beat mannerisms--unless of course they prove to be dangerous. She loves him to the end of the world and back. The two are married and have two young children together. "Yes, you have been informed correctly. Vektis is, indeed, the bestest." - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[E'kira Sol]]''' - The infant daughter of Vektis and E'kari, also commonly referred to as Kira. This tiny mixed breed of Keeper and Seeker has been though much hardship in her short life. E'kira is the sole survivor of a litter of three, making Vektis and E'kari very protective of her. Regardless of whatever situation she's in, E'kira tends to cry very little. Recently she'd begun learning to walk and talk. Already she has shown the propensity to always be making noise of some sort, just like her father.

: ● '''[[Maxwell Sol]]''' - Born to the Eft tribe--to the name E'rhaja Tia--and orphaned after his sire was defeated and overthrown by another male. E'kari picked up the kitten; she felt a kinship with him for their similar origins. Upon his arrival at Heartwood to the Sol family he was renamed by Vektis and E'kari so he might grow up feeling like he belonged. Now three cycles old, Max is shy, polite and thoughtful. Especially fond of tinkering with small shiny objects and collecting beads, rocks and shells. He has an exceptionally bright mind for a boy his age.

: ● '''[[Nicholas Nack- NPC]]''' - The ever-present summoned companion of E'kari. This carbuncle has been with E'kari throughout the Seeker's entire life as a sort of therapy animal, helping to keep her anxiety in check. With a gem layered with complex geometries: Anabel Nack made it so he and his sister creation--Whackara--could form memories; and with that, personalities. Nick is generally gentle and quiet, with a keen ability to sense people's emotional needs. As such, he tends to gravitate to people whom he suspects need comfort. Nick is aware of his own artificial intellegence and often grapples with his place in the world, as well as the loneliness that comes from his own existence. "Ploo!" - Nick

: ● '''[[Anabel Nack]]''' - Author, scientist, surgeon and parent. This quirky and frightening alchemist is the adopted mother of E'yami and E'kari. Nanabel Nabel by birth, she almost always goes by her pen-name "A.B. 'Nack'". Though her child rearing methods were always questionable at best, the most indisputable fact of it all is that Nack loves both of her girls very much. She is not above employing dark methods to ensure this mad-scientist keeps her loved ones safe. This lalafell's haunting laughter was picked up by E'kari as she was growing up. "Kuhuhuh....." - Anabel Nack

: ● '''[[Conrad Steelsong]]''' - This initially frighteningly large Ala Mhigan is actually the godparent of E'kari and Vektis' young daughter, E'kira. The four of them, as well as No'Ulla Khilik, all take up residence in the same house in the Mist. Conrad has obviously weathered the storm of many conflicts that have hardened his exterior. Despite his gruff demeanor, E'kari finds him to be a wonderful person and the closest thing to a father she's ever known.

: ● '''[[No'Ulla Khilik]]''' - The Ala Mhigan-weaver wife of Conrad Steelsong. She has recently returned from apprenticing in Ishgard to live with the Solsong household. E'kari finds her to be a skilled craftswoman and never tires of hearing about Ulla's special technique of Spell-Weaving. Ulla is a welcome addition to the family--E'kari just hopes that Vektis doesn't scare their new friend off with nonsensical antics.

: ● '''[[Nyscera Alarone]]''' - This mistress of shadowy death is a close friend of the twins' adopted mother. She is considered an aunt to E'kari and E'yami. Early on in E'kari stay at Heartwood, the dragon-riding assassin took E'kari, Bennett and Snowy in as pupils for physical and mental training. While it was grueling and at times crushing, E'kari owes her martial arts ability solely to these lessons. Nyscera taught E'kari the value of teamwork and also her how to be unphased by negative elements in her life.

: ● '''[[Rath Alarone]]''' - Nyscera's aloof husband--and by proxy--the twins' uncle. This applesauce-loving dark knight is the one that hired E'kari to work as the company alchemist--in no small part to do with the potent pain killers she was able to make for him after a fight that nearly ended in his death. He always seems have a joke lined up, even in the most bleak of situations.

: ● '''[[Bennett Cooper]]''' - E'kari's teammate and--since his adoption by Rath and Nyscera Alarone--cousin of sorts. E'kari sees Bennett as the shining future of their free company. While he makes mistakes and has a ways to go before he can truly master any of his arsenal of weapons, E'kari firmly believes this young boy is going to do great things. Could young Master Bennett be a something more than the average fighter...? "Cooper is Super..!" - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[E'vehlke Sohj]]''' - The maternal cousin of E'kari and E'yami. Vehlke is a fearless warrior with a strange accent. As she is a full blood Seeker of the Eft tribe, E'vehlke shares a striking resemblance to the twins' deceased mother.

: ● '''[[Sokhatai Borlaaq]]''' - This huntress is the wife of E'vehlke Sohj. She has a very specific way of talking. E'kari onced picked her brain about adventure and Au'Ra culture. She finds her delightful!

: ● '''[[Reina Sol]]''' - E'kari's half Keeper half Raen sister-in-law. She is the first person from Heartwood that the twins ever met, quickly taking the girls under her wing and giving them a place to stay. It was because of Reina that E'kari met Vektis. E'kari admires Reina as a strong and together person.

: ● '''[[Snowy Sol]]''' - E'kari's full miqo'te sister-in-law. Even before the two were related by marriage, E'kari has had a definite soft spot for this girl-genius in her heart. The two worked together in the clinic for some time, rather closely. In one occasion the two preformed life saving surgery on Vektis. E'kari's only qualm is that she fears this teen might be too relaxed about the dangerous world around her at times--but maybe that's just the anxiety talking.

: ● '''[[Xihvi'ir Valathri]]''' - Xihvi'ir, or 'Ashy' as the others have taken to calling him, is a kindly harp-player that has come into the service of Heartwood. Though E'kari doesn't know of his personal dealings in any intricate regard--other than his past as a gambler--she knows she can trust his character, as he is well loved by Nick. The Keeper has always loaned a helping hand to the company whenever a need arose, for that E'kari finds herself very grateful to her new friend. Though she doesn't know it yet, the two share an unexpected bond in blood.

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#4d0000; font-size:14px; color:#FFFFFF">Friends </div><div style="border:0px solid; padding:8px"> ===

: ● '''[[Sakeru Wakeru]]''' – This unsuspecting looking delivery boy has a dark past under the surface. A time ago, Sakeru divulged a portion of his history to E'kari and a few others. Oddly enough, she ended up trusting him more after learning he was a trained assassin. She was quite sad to see him leave but remembers him fondly. Wherever this lalafell goes two things are a certain: death and dinner. "Did I leave the oven on..?" - Sakeru Wakeru

: ● '''[[Tustin Lafell]]''' - The first moment E'kari saw this lalafell he was being arrested on the free company lawn for the attempted armed robbery. Later when he returned to make his peace with Heartwood the two met and over time became close companions. Tustin's street-savvy, wild and hot-headed demeanor contrasts E'kari's bookish, nervous, awkwardness in a very positive way. This Dunesfolk left Heartwood some time ago to make something of himself out in the world. Since then he has begun studying medicine. He remains, to this day, one of E'kari's most treasured and beloved friends. "I'm not cute! I'm manly as hell!" - Tustin Lafell

: ● '''[[Tynos Riller]]''' - This towering black mage initially greatly frightened E'kari upon their first meeting. Perhaps it was his scar, his serious expression or his sheer size--regardless, she now knows him as a very kind-hearted and family oriented leader. He sacrifices much of himself to keep Heartwood's members safe--and frankly--works too hard. It would be a shock to find him away from the clinic for longer than a month. It's safe to say, E'kari's pharmacy has a special 'Tynos Budget' for the small fortune it takes to keep this misfortune prone Elezen on his feet. "My goodness..! Hurt again, Master Tynos...?" - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[Cioccolato Stella]]''' - Cioccolato, or Lady Cio as E'kari calls her, works as a nurse and aspiring doctor for Heartwood. This charming and kind healer can often be seen sporting pastel colors and traveling around in the company of her Demon Brick, Cenere, which is a close friend of Max. E'kari has always been very fond of this miqo'te since her arrival and is one of the few she trusts to care for Kira and Max in her absence.

: ● '''[[Kaiya Ailbhe]]''' - The librarian, chief of medicine and over-all brains of Heartwood. E'kari admires the patience of this woman but also feels horribly guilty that the actions of her free company have driven Kaiya to take up smoking. Occasionally E'kari will bring Kaiya cinnamon sticks en masse as an attempt to give her something roughly cigarette shaped to hold and suck on. It is unknown if Doctor Ailhbe actually enjoys these or if she is merely humoring E'kari. Hopefully at the very least she is not being driven to smoke those as well...

: ● '''[[Zana Amaro]]''' - An aloof gunslinger and self proclaimed alley-cat. Despite being told not to, E'kari still insists on respectfully referring to this miqo'te as Lady Zana. When this woman is armed and in a foul mood . . . heaven help her target. E'kari has seen Zana rip a man's arm clean off. However Zana does also have a soft side. When E'kari was gravely injured in an attempt on her life, Zana stationed herself in the clinic to watch over her.

: ● '''[[Moralee Relen]]''' - Known to E'kari as "Mordry". This Au'Ra woman is rather complex for many reasons. Regardless E'kari cares greatly about Moralee and Mora in equal measure--although Mordry's "Moralee-half" is more familiar to her. Some time ago Mordry required E'kari's help with a somewhat risky task. This evoked the ire of her usually perpetually cheerful husband. Vektis has yet to forgive Mordry to this day, which fills the Seeker with guilt and remorse. However, because of that mission, E'kari learned how to brew a special and ancient potion she dubbed, "The Draught of the Dreamwalker".

: ● '''[[Neville Synch]]''' - This good natured marksman is the mate of Zana Amaro and the best friend of E'yami Amane. Over the period she has known him, this man has done a lot for E'kari's family which she could never repay. Though she does not know him too well personally she trusts him fully regardless. She always gets a chuckle out of the banter between Neville and Vektis.

: ● '''[[Vahn Quietfury]]''' - A sweet little boy with a curious connection to an elder dragon. E'kari first met the half lalafell on a caravan mission that was attacked. In the absence of his own mother, the Seeker would often look after Vahn when his father was away. One day when Vahn was playing with some of the other boys in the company yard he exhibited dangerous abilities. He and his father were sent away for the potential danger they posed. E'kari still loves Vahn like a son.

: ● '''[[Brandon Stormstrider]]''' - The Hyur father of Vahn Quietfury. E'kari met Brandon a short time after Vahn. The two became close friends, as the miqo'te was one of the few Heartwood members Brandon trusted. She would often do simple favors for the father and son to make their lives easier such as cleaning or bringing home pineapples. Upon their leaving to a new safehaven the Seeker found herself deeply saddend, however Brandon still sneaks over to the company on occasion. Brandon has placed E'kari under the protection of his men known only as "The Rogues".

: ● '''[[Enkhjargal Dalamiq]]''' - This stoic summoner is actually E'kari's master. He took her under his wing when she first arrived to Heartwood and had to terrorize her into being able to use her magic for anything beyond healing. His methods worked and looking back, E'kari owes him all of the strength she possesses now. Beyond that, she thinks he is a wonderful person who has natural ability with children. Who knew!

: ● '''[[Camille Everardi]]''' - Camille is Enkhjargal Dalamiq's wife and a talented mage, among many other things. E'kari has seen Camille fight in more than one way in the past with spars. She found this woman to be a strong female rolemodel for her in the past when she was just learning to fight--and still looks up to her to this day. E'kari couldn't be happier that her master and friend found happiness in each other's company.

: ● '''[[Chokho Viqqoh]]''' - A fierce, fiery and loyal amnesiac-Keeper who recently joined Heartwood. Since her arrival, Chokho and E'kari have become fast friends; bonding over their shared love of martial arts and string instruments. Though the two differ greatly in temperament and personality they have a shared respect for one another.

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#4d0000;font-size:14px;color:#FFFFFF;">Acquaintances</div><div style="border:0px solid; padding:8px">===

: ● '''[[Narumi Kotokaze]]''' - More commonly referred to as "Kota". E'kari met this Maelstrom affiliated bounty hunter on the road when she was set upon by highwaymen--which Kota easily dispatched. Since then the Raen has been promoted to first lieutenant of the Storm-guard and assigned to work as the handler of the former pirate Skyfwyb. The officer comissions her medicine from E'kari's "Alchemist's Alley". 

:● '''[[Nevrynn Alarone]]''' - While E'kari initially mistrusted the Seeker for his roguish persona and wanderlust, in resent months she has come to warm up to her sister's mate. Though she may not know him as well as she might like, he makes her sister happy. And the affection between the two are plain to see.

: ● '''[[Jake Jakkya]]''' - A red-lenses wearing void-mage who has spent a great deal of his life as a pit fighter. This spellsword is particularly close to E'kari's adopted mother, Nack, which makes him a brother of sorts. E'kari sorely wishes he would be less devil-may-care in demeanor at times, or at least care a bit more about his own life. She's always pleased when he pops up unharmed now and again. This former criminal has been blacklisted from Heartwood for his criminal debts to the Syndicate--though he has since paid them back in full, becoming an ally to the group.

: ● '''[[Ash Valken]]''' - The tall, brooding brother of Nyscera who has a strong dislike for Rath. E'kari met this former bandit spying on her a few times. Eventually the two had a sit-down conversation and became close--which was a new thing for the Au'Ra. E'kari taught Ash how to play a grasswhistle, fixed his broken hearing-aid and engaged in a playful spar. Somehow, in one way or another, most of their interactions end in awkward sexual-tension. The day Ash left Heartwood, E'kari gave him a necklace made from a strap of her doctor's bag to remember her by and encouraged him to follow his dreams.

: ● '''[[Akiyuki Okuma]]''' - The large, quiet, but overall pleasant husband of Cio who has joined Heartwood since his marriage to the plucky, pastel nursemaid. This reserved Au'Ra is a welcome addition to the family.

: ● '''[[Kenoni Eien’no]]''' - The betrothed of her friend Moralee. A stern and stoic acquaintance but never the less, E'kari admires his loyalty and commitment to Mordry. She hopes the two will have a wonderful life together with their child.

: ● '''[[J'edite Shedai]]''' - A fellow enthusiast of martial arts that spends most of her time roaming Thanalan seeking glory for the Jackal tribe. The two have had run-ins here and there as J'edite was on hunts and once sparred under the Sultan tree. The Seekers employ very different styles of their own making: while E'kari fights with her heavy handed "Golem Step" ideal for doing battle with armed and armored foes; J'edite uses fast kicks transitioning into fluid jabs in her "Fire Dancer" style that proves to be the bane of slower opponents. As it stands the two are friendly rivals.

: ● '''[[Alpon Adpon]]''' - The Pink Punisher! E'kari has met this "battle-chef" in passing more than once. The lalafell's skill in combat seems to rival his culinary prowess.

: ● '''[[Namaka Ebisu]]''' - A strange and sweet water-sprite who lives in a fountain. You want tree slugs? Because this is how you get tree slugs.

: ● '''[[Alistar Stormfist]]''' - Found by Heartwood on the road to Little Ala Mhigo, this former Garlean slave was near death and wearing a magitek collar. With no where else to go and no life to return to, this gentle giant returned with the caravan to the Heartwood Homestead.

: ● '''[[Lucinda Kovix]]''' - This kindly and capable, Ishgardian drifter met Doctor Sol as she was returning from conversing with the Everschade and her husband's chocobo ran off. Lucinda and E'kari worked together to catch the bird and got to talking about Lucy's need for work and also to find her missing brother. The Miqo'te has since come to stay at Heartwood which has overjoyed E'kari.

: ● '''[[L'nela Varya]]''' - A one-eyed woman who really enjoys taking a bite out of life! In all seriousness--L'nela is a chipper and quirky person. A little emotional at times, but rightfully so; as her recent years have been filled with trauma. Both physical and emotional. Careful, she likes to nibble!
 

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#4d0000;font-size:14px;color:#FFFFFF;">Disliked</div><div style="border:0px solid; padding:8px">===

:● '''[[Tharl Oom Khash - NPC]]''' - A being made of corruption who takes his name from his place of creation. While to most guardians of the Shroud he would be a natural enemy anyway--this thing has taken a special and terrible shine to tormenting E'kari and all of Heartwood. His track record of terrible deeds is staggering and body count ever on the rise. His most memorable in E'kari's mind were her children, Sagu'a and Cize. The vengeful mother aided in his demise by pummeling him with special stones--from Tynos and Kaiya--she formed into barbaric gauntlets.


:● '''[[The Pumpking - NPC]]''' - This strange and otherwordly being was initially just an unsettling presence that occasionally appeared in the Heartwood halls offering bargains for steep moral prices. It was not until this squash-headed man manipulated Tustin Lafell into a contract that he became E'kari's enemy. The Seeker used excessive force against the entitiy, beating him into a puddle of black ooze. He has since returned to haunt Heartwood, though has stifled a sum of E'kari's animosity toward him by fixing her carbuncle's shattered gem and helping finish off Khash for good.

:● '''[[Skyfwyb Aergankawyn]]''' - E'kari was not fond of this woman from the start. The monsterous Seawolf had committed crimes against Heartwood on numerous occasions. E'kari was glad to hear of her sting and arrest by the Maelstrom. In the time that has followed, however, the curt and belligerent captain seems to have changed her ways to some extent. E'kari now views her slightly more favorably after having witnessed Skyfwyb's capacity to care genuinely for another person. It was also by the aid of this former pirate that the Solsong household was able to cross the sea to the east. As it stands now they are allies.

== <div style="padding:10px 15px; background:#4d0000; font-size:20px; color:#ffffff">'''Character Trivia'''</div>==
 
:■ E'kari refers to people as 'master' or 'lady' because as a young newcomer to Gridania she was hazed by the local youths told that it was how non-tribal people spoke to one another. Excited to make 'friends' the Seeker picked this up almost immediately. It was not until this was an ingrained habit that she learned it was all a ruse for E'kari to make a fool of herself every time she spoke.
:■ Despite the skill not coming up particularly often, E'kari is adept at Thavnarian belly-dancing. This and many similar styles of celebratory dance were used among she and her kin in their tribal lands; though this is actually not their people's only connection to the middle east. The dress style, use of Alchemy and herbal medicines, even their taste in food has been greatly influenced by trade with Thavnair, much like many others who reside in Thanalan.
:■ E'kari will often experience an inconsolable sense of dread when E'yami is in emotional distress or danger, even if they are far apart. This link between twins seems to go both ways.
:■ Due to E'kari's heavy aspection to Earth she is notoriously difficult to knock off her feet and has immense stamina; adversely, she is not as quick as she'd like to be and swimming in deep water takes a significant amount of energy.
:■ Though most are unaware--or attribute some of her mannerisms to merely being quirky--E'kari actually suffers from high functioning autism. Social queues tend to be her biggest hurdle, along with focusing on the big picture of tasks as opposed to minut details, and sorting out painful emotions.

<div>
=== '''♦ General''' ===
<hr>
 
: (This page has recently undergone a major rework! Check it out if you want to know what has changed!)
: This overly polite and apologetic medicine-woman can often be found scuttling about making deliveries for her shop. Due to her diligent work, E'kari's Alchemist Alley has become one of the Alchemist Guild's favored subsidiaries and is frequently called upon to do business as a representative of their organization. <div>
 



=== '''♦ Appearance''' ===
<hr>
 

: E'kari is a Seeker/Keeper half-breed who carries some physical traits from her mother and father. Her eyes are narrow slit-pupils, skin pale but capable of bronzing in the sun like a Seeker; though her fur is fluffy and tail is long like a Keeper.

: This miqo'te has a snow-print mane--white with undertones if black and grey--with pale blue eyes and bangle-stripes that frame her face.

: In true mage form--E'kari can usually be found in little to no armor, even when going into battle. It slows her down in preforming martial arts and also disrupts her casting to wear anything too heavy. Instead she prefers comfortable robes or her labcoat. <div>
 



=== '''♦ History ''' ===
<hr>
 
: The parentage of E'yami and E'kari is a taboo matter. One that the Nunh of the Eft ordered upon the strictest of penalty, never to be spoken of. While their mother--E'yari--was a Seeker and one of the designated breeding females to the Nunh; their father--Sagu'a--was actually a roving Keeper who had long since left behind a subservient life with his maternal-family in the Shroud to be a traveling poet, minstrel and anthropologist. The two Miqo'te met when Sagu'a and his scholarly lalafell companion, Anabel Nack, sought a place to rest during their travels. The tribe apprehensively took the researchers in as temporary guests. In that time Sagu'a and E'yari began a secret relationship.

:When it came to light that the two had been together Sagu'a was put to death, and his body unceremoniously left to rot in the heat of the desert just outside of their territory.

: In a double blow, not only was E'yari stricken with grief, but she also discovered she was pregnant. Due to a combination of her melancholy of her lost love, the despair at what her life would be at the whims of her Nunh and complications during the birthing process--E'yari died shortly after her second kit was delivered. The last words she managed to speak before slipping away were the names of her children. Both Doman, in honor of their father who fancied the culture. Yami, meaning dark, and Hikari meaning light--though the midwives were unfamiliar with the tongue, mistaking it simply for /E/kari.

: Upon the twins' birth into the Eft--as per tradition--the clan made a ceremonial offering of their namesake to Azeyma that would determine their role in the tribe. When the flesh was melted from the bones,their appointed wise-woman had determined E'kari was to be the next shaman while E'yami's bones were an augury that she was preordained to be a great warrior.

: The Nunh was pleased by the news and demanded celebration, but found that the females of the tribe were not nearly as thrilled. Many believed that the pale-faced kits with hair of black and white were cursed; killing their mother with ill-omen. Nack took this opportunity to offer her services in raising her friends' children and providing them with education.

:The lalafell's silver tongue managed to coerce the Nunh to allow this arrangement--given he had few other options. The three were put up in a yurt close to the Nunh's own home to keep an eye on the foreigner.

: In the years that proceeded their youth, the twins were given a proper education by the professor--in between being stolen away to be taught their duties to the Eft. While Yami practiced fighting the other tribal youths, Kari was introduced to herbal medicine, burial rites and how to divinate the future with the practice of bone reading.

: Despite the twins' diligent efforts to hone their skills and fulfill thier tribal roles, they sorely lacked any sort of companionship from the other children of the Eft--having learned from their mother's to be wary of the pale-faced Seekers. Because of this, Nack took it upon herself to try and teach the girls the basic art of carbuncle summoning and passed her own Topaz and Emerald gems down to each of them.

: Demure and plagued with anxiety, E'kari was given Nicholas--Nack's Emerald carbuncle--as a therapy animal; while E'yami received Whackara--a Topaz companion who had enough spunk and energy to keep up with her. Both arcanist-pets has served the Professor faithfully since her own youth and passed without incident into the hands of their new masters.

: As the twins neared their teenage years, an odd habit of E'kari's came to light. She could often be found speaking to the streams, winds and rock-faces in the territory which the tribe found very suspicious. Some of the more superstitious members of the tribe were convinced the was speaking to the dead; the Nunh believed this was some gift from the Warden, proving his right to rule was divine.

: Knowing better than to believe any of that, Nack speculated that this was a hereditary trait, passed down from Sagu'a, who was a Hearer. Once more the professor went to the Nunh and convinced him that he should allow her to take the twins to train abroad in Gridania that they might return more powerful and capable of serving him. He agreed to the idea and within a fortnight Nack brought the girls to the Shroud.

: Once in Gridania, E'kari joined the Conjurer's Guild as a student while E'yami sought training in both lance and bow.

: Though eager to make new friends the Seeker found this was easier said than done. The high populous of Hyur and Elezen looked condescendingly upon the tribal girls. It was not out of the ordinary for the more crude classmates to inquire if her parents were cousins. This trouble fitting in was compounded by the fact she didn't seem to learn at the same rate as everyone else. E'kari would often focus on small details of things, so much so that she could not intake an entire lesson. A classroom setting did her little credit, but during her free moments she would visit the Everschade and commune with the Elementals.

: On one such visit, a strong wind blew a small branch down from the great tree; which, E'kari took and mended with magic that it might be used as a crook.

: Due to her natural affinity for the forest and her difficulty with conventional methods of learning she was taken as a personal apprentice to Master E-Sumi-Yan, a patient Padjal who specialized in the guidance of Hearers. Discovering the trick seemed to be hands-on learning, he took every opportunity to have the Seeker accompany him while he worked. E'kari improved quickly under his tutelage, able to stand as a conjurer in her own right.

: Near the end of the girl's time abroad, the Seventh Umbral Calamity struck. With her guild called to act as medics on the field, the twins soon found themselves on the heels of disaster for the duration of the event. E'kari and her classmates followed the guildmasters into the chaos, assisting those who had been wounded or fallen. E'yami acted as E'kari's personal guard as she preformed field surgeries and magical healing. The two witnessed death up close on more than one occasion, finding themselves changed by the end of it all.

: After all was said and done, the girls' respective masters deemed them both students no longer. And while this was a sweet taste, it was also made bitter by the memories of carnage that now haunted them both.

: The twins returned to their desert territory as heroines who represented their tribe with valor and courage. The Nunh held festivities long into the night.It seemed as though they'd finally been accepted, but neither seemed particularly content with staying within the territory any more--not after all they had been through. Together E'yami and E'kari traveled to the Shrine of the Warden, offering an Eft in a pyre for guidance. When the flesh had melted from the bones, Azeyma's will bid they must go--for they had more to do out in the world. E'kari shared this edict with their people and with heavy hearts, they left again to find and fulfill their duties elsewhere until the time the Warden calls for them to return.

=== '''♦ Behavior ''' ===

 

: E'kari has a hard time learning in a conventional sense often requires an exceedingly patient teacher in order to have any real success. However once she does learn something--or is preforming a task she excels in--she is hard-pressed to be outshined.

: While still generally being good natured and apologetic, in combat E'kari is capable of being a formidable opponent. Being a conjurer she will often take the role of a healer, but her connection to the Elementals has also allowed to take a unique approach to martial arts. The Seeker will often harden a stone skin over her hands and feet while delivering blows, or using gales of wind to enhance her movement speed. She has named her self-made fighting style, "The Golem Step" which emphasizes momentum and fluidity. (Much of her techniques in form are inspired by real world Zui Quan)

: Despite her obvious shortcomings, E'kari is a very hopeful person and goes into every situation with optimism for success, even if she has failed at the task a hundred times before. Sometimes it's the hundred and first try that brings success.

: ● '''[[E'yami Amane]]''' - E'kari's protective fraternal twin sister, older by 7 minutes. E'yami has always been a strong source of strength, comfort and adventure as the two have grown. Though she has a very tomboyish and wears tough outer shell, E'kari knows that her sister is actually very caring and sensitive--always putting the needs of others before herself; and that is what makes her E'kari's hero.

: 💑 '''[[Vektis Sol]]''' - E'kari's boisterous, free-spirited and loveable husband. When they first met she admired his self confidence--often shyly observing him kicking down doors to shout his own name at people. There are few in the world who can raise E'kari's spirits like Vektis can. The two became close friends and then a couple shortly there after. Though many people see his behavior as a nuisance, E'kari celebrates her husband's off-beat mannerisms--unless of course they prove to be dangerous. She loves him to the end of the world and back. The two are married and have two young children together. "Yes, you have been informed correctly. Vektis is, indeed, the bestest." - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[E'kira Sol]]''' - The infant daughter of Vektis and E'kari, also commonly referred to as Kira. This tiny mixed breed of Keeper and Seeker has been though much hardship in her short life. E'kira is the sole survivor of a litter of three, making Vektis and E'kari very protective of her. Regardless of whatever situation she's in, E'kira tends to cry very little. Recently she'd begun learning to walk and talk. Already she has shown the propensity to always be making noise of some sort, just like her father.

: ● '''[[Maxwell Sol]]''' - Born to the Eft tribe--to the name E'rhaja Tia--and orphaned after his sire was defeated and overthrown by another male. E'kari picked up the kitten; she felt a kinship with him for their similar origins. Upon his arrival at Heartwood to the Sol family he was renamed by Vektis and E'kari so he might grow up feeling like he belonged. Now three cycles old, Max is shy, polite and thoughtful. Especially fond of tinkering with small shiny objects and collecting beads, rocks and shells. He has an exceptionally bright mind for a boy his age.

: ● '''[[Nicholas Nack- NPC]]''' - The ever-present summoned companion of E'kari. This carbuncle has been with E'kari throughout the Seeker's entire life as a sort of therapy animal, helping to keep her anxiety in check. With a gem layered with complex geometries: Anabel Nack made it so he and his sister creation--Whackara--could form memories; and with that, personalities. Nick is generally gentle and quiet, with a keen ability to sense people's emotional needs. As such, he tends to gravitate to people whom he suspects need comfort. Nick is aware of his own artificial intellegence and often grapples with his place in the world, as well as the loneliness that comes from his own existence. "Ploo!" - Nick

: ● '''[[Anabel Nack]]''' - Author, scientist, surgeon and parent. This quirky and frightening alchemist is the adopted mother of E'yami and E'kari. Nanabel Nabel by birth, she almost always goes by her pen-name "A.B. 'Nack'". Though her child rearing methods were always questionable at best, the most indisputable fact of it all is that Nack loves both of her girls very much. She is not above employing dark methods to ensure this mad-scientist keeps her loved ones safe. This lalafell's haunting laughter was picked up by E'kari as she was growing up. "Kuhuhuh....." - Anabel Nack

: ● '''[[Conrad Steelsong]]''' - This initially frighteningly large Ala Mhigan is actually the godparent of E'kari and Vektis' young daughter, E'kira. The four of them, as well as No'Ulla Khilik, all take up residence in the same house in the Mist. Conrad has obviously weathered the storm of many conflicts that have hardened his exterior. Despite his gruff demeanor, E'kari finds him to be a wonderful person and the closest thing to a father she's ever known.

: ● '''[[No'Ulla Khilik]]''' - The Ala Mhigan-weaver wife of Conrad Steelsong. She has recently returned from apprenticing in Ishgard to live with the Solsong household. E'kari finds her to be a skilled craftswoman and never tires of hearing about Ulla's special technique of Spell-Weaving. Ulla is a welcome addition to the family--E'kari just hopes that Vektis doesn't scare their new friend off with nonsensical antics.

: ● '''[[Nyscera Alarone]]''' - This mistress of shadowy death is a close friend of the twins' adopted mother. She is considered an aunt to E'kari and E'yami. Early on in E'kari stay at Heartwood, the dragon-riding assassin took E'kari, Bennett and Snowy in as pupils for physical and mental training. While it was grueling and at times crushing, E'kari owes her martial arts ability solely to these lessons. Nyscera taught E'kari the value of teamwork and also her how to be unphased by negative elements in her life.

: ● '''[[Rath Alarone]]''' - Nyscera's aloof husband--and by proxy--the twins' uncle. This applesauce-loving dark knight is the one that hired E'kari to work as the company alchemist--in no small part to do with the potent pain killers she was able to make for him after a fight that nearly ended in his death. He always seems have a joke lined up, even in the most bleak of situations.

: ● '''[[Bennett Cooper]]''' - E'kari's teammate and--since his adoption by Rath and Nyscera Alarone--cousin of sorts. E'kari sees Bennett as the shining future of their free company. While he makes mistakes and has a ways to go before he can truly master any of his arsenal of weapons, E'kari firmly believes this young boy is going to do great things. Could young Master Bennett be a something more than the average fighter...? "Cooper is Super..!" - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[E'vehlke Sohj]]''' - The maternal cousin of E'kari and E'yami. Vehlke is a fearless warrior with a strange accent. As she is a full blood Seeker of the Eft tribe, E'vehlke shares a striking resemblance to the twins' deceased mother.

: ● '''[[Sokhatai Borlaaq]]''' - This huntress is the wife of E'vehlke Sohj. She has a very specific way of talking. E'kari onced picked her brain about adventure and Au'Ra culture. She finds her delightful!

: ● '''[[Reina Sol]]''' - E'kari's half Keeper half Raen sister-in-law. She is the first person from Heartwood that the twins ever met, quickly taking the girls under her wing and giving them a place to stay. It was because of Reina that E'kari met Vektis. E'kari admires Reina as a strong and together person.

: ● '''[[Snowy Sol]]''' - E'kari's full miqo'te sister-in-law. Even before the two were related by marriage, E'kari has had a definite soft spot for this girl-genius in her heart. The two worked together in the clinic for some time, rather closely. In one occasion the two preformed life saving surgery on Vektis. E'kari's only qualm is that she fears this teen might be too relaxed about the dangerous world around her at times--but maybe that's just the anxiety talking.

: ● '''[[Xihvi'ir Valathri]]''' - Xihvi'ir, or 'Ashy' as the others have taken to calling him, is a kindly harp-player that has come into the service of Heartwood. Though E'kari doesn't know of his personal dealings in any intricate regard--other than his past as a gambler--she knows she can trust his character, as he is well loved by Nick. The Keeper has always loaned a helping hand to the company whenever a need arose, for that E'kari finds herself very grateful to her new friend. Though she doesn't know it yet, the two share an unexpected bond in blood.

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#4d0000; font-size:14px; color:#FFFFFF">Friends </div><div style="border:0px solid; padding:8px"> ===

: ● '''[[Sakeru Wakeru]]''' – This unsuspecting looking delivery boy has a dark past under the surface. A time ago, Sakeru divulged a portion of his history to E'kari and a few others. Oddly enough, she ended up trusting him more after learning he was a trained assassin. She was quite sad to see him leave but remembers him fondly. Wherever this lalafell goes two things are a certain: death and dinner. "Did I leave the oven on..?" - Sakeru Wakeru

: ● '''[[Tustin Lafell]]''' - The first moment E'kari saw this lalafell he was being arrested on the free company lawn for the attempted armed robbery. Later when he returned to make his peace with Heartwood the two met and over time became close companions. Tustin's street-savvy, wild and hot-headed demeanor contrasts E'kari's bookish, nervous, awkwardness in a very positive way. This Dunesfolk left Heartwood some time ago to make something of himself out in the world. Since then he has begun studying medicine. He remains, to this day, one of E'kari's most treasured and beloved friends. "I'm not cute! I'm manly as hell!" - Tustin Lafell

: ● '''[[Tynos Riller]]''' - This towering black mage initially greatly frightened E'kari upon their first meeting. Perhaps it was his scar, his serious expression or his sheer size--regardless, she now knows him as a very kind-hearted and family oriented leader. He sacrifices much of himself to keep Heartwood's members safe--and frankly--works too hard. It would be a shock to find him away from the clinic for longer than a month. It's safe to say, E'kari's pharmacy has a special 'Tynos Budget' for the small fortune it takes to keep this misfortune prone Elezen on his feet. "My goodness..! Hurt again, Master Tynos...?" - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[Cioccolato Stella]]''' - Cioccolato, or Lady Cio as E'kari calls her, works as a nurse and aspiring doctor for Heartwood. This charming and kind healer can often be seen sporting pastel colors and traveling around in the company of her Demon Brick, Cenere, which is a close friend of Max. E'kari has always been very fond of this miqo'te since her arrival and is one of the few she trusts to care for Kira and Max in her absence.

: ● '''[[Kaiya Ailbhe]]''' - The librarian, chief of medicine and over-all brains of Heartwood. E'kari admires the patience of this woman but also feels horribly guilty that the actions of her free company have driven Kaiya to take up smoking. Occasionally E'kari will bring Kaiya cinnamon sticks en masse as an attempt to give her something roughly cigarette shaped to hold and suck on. It is unknown if Doctor Ailhbe actually enjoys these or if she is merely humoring E'kari. Hopefully at the very least she is not being driven to smoke those as well...

: ● '''[[Zana Amaro]]''' - An aloof gunslinger and self proclaimed alley-cat. Despite being told not to, E'kari still insists on respectfully referring to this miqo'te as Lady Zana. When this woman is armed and in a foul mood . . . heaven help her target. E'kari has seen Zana rip a man's arm clean off. However Zana does also have a soft side. When E'kari was gravely injured in an attempt on her life, Zana stationed herself in the clinic to watch over her.

: ● '''[[Moralee Relen]]''' - Known to E'kari as "Mordry". This Au'Ra woman is rather complex for many reasons. Regardless E'kari cares greatly about Moralee and Mora in equal measure--although Mordry's "Moralee-half" is more familiar to her. Some time ago Mordry required E'kari's help with a somewhat risky task. This evoked the ire of her usually perpetually cheerful husband. Vektis has yet to forgive Mordry to this day, which fills the Seeker with guilt and remorse. However, because of that mission, E'kari learned how to brew a special and ancient potion she dubbed, "The Draught of the Dreamwalker".

: ● '''[[Neville Synch]]''' - This good natured marksman is the mate of Zana Amaro and the best friend of E'yami Amane. Over the period she has known him, this man has done a lot for E'kari's family which she could never repay. Though she does not know him too well personally she trusts him fully regardless. She always gets a chuckle out of the banter between Neville and Vektis.

: ● '''[[Vahn Quietfury]]''' - A sweet little boy with a curious connection to an elder dragon. E'kari first met the half lalafell on a caravan mission that was attacked. In the absence of his own mother, the Seeker would often look after Vahn when his father was away. One day when Vahn was playing with some of the other boys in the company yard he exhibited dangerous abilities. He and his father were sent away for the potential danger they posed. E'kari still loves Vahn like a son.

: ● '''[[Brandon Stormstrider]]''' - The Hyur father of Vahn Quietfury. E'kari met Brandon a short time after Vahn. The two became close friends, as the miqo'te was one of the few Heartwood members Brandon trusted. She would often do simple favors for the father and son to make their lives easier such as cleaning or bringing home pineapples. Upon their leaving to a new safehaven the Seeker found herself deeply saddend, however Brandon still sneaks over to the company on occasion. Brandon has placed E'kari under the protection of his men known only as "The Rogues".

: ● '''[[Enkhjargal Dalamiq]]''' - This stoic summoner is actually E'kari's master. He took her under his wing when she first arrived to Heartwood and had to terrorize her into being able to use her magic for anything beyond healing. His methods worked and looking back, E'kari owes him all of the strength she possesses now. Beyond that, she thinks he is a wonderful person who has natural ability with children. Who knew!

: ● '''[[Camille Everardi]]''' - Camille is Enkhjargal Dalamiq's wife and a talented mage, among many other things. E'kari has seen Camille fight in more than one way in the past with spars. She found this woman to be a strong female rolemodel for her in the past when she was just learning to fight--and still looks up to her to this day. E'kari couldn't be happier that her master and friend found happiness in each other's company.

: ● '''[[Chokho Viqqoh]]''' - A fierce, fiery and loyal amnesiac-Keeper who recently joined Heartwood. Since her arrival, Chokho and E'kari have become fast friends; bonding over their shared love of martial arts and string instruments. Though the two differ greatly in temperament and personality they have a shared respect for one another.

: ● '''[[Narumi Kotokaze]]''' - More commonly referred to as "Kota". E'kari met this Maelstrom affiliated bounty hunter on the road when she was set upon by highwaymen--which Kota easily dispatched. Since then the Raen has been promoted to first lieutenant of the Storm-guard and assigned to work as the handler of the former pirate Skyfwyb. The officer comissions her medicine from E'kari's "Alchemist's Alley". 

:● '''[[Nevrynn Alarone]]''' - While E'kari initially mistrusted the Seeker for his roguish persona and wanderlust, in resent months she has come to warm up to her sister's mate. Though she may not know him as well as she might like, he makes her sister happy. And the affection between the two are plain to see.

: ● '''[[Jake Jakkya]]''' - A red-lenses wearing void-mage who has spent a great deal of his life as a pit fighter. This spellsword is particularly close to E'kari's adopted mother, Nack, which makes him a brother of sorts. E'kari sorely wishes he would be less devil-may-care in demeanor at times, or at least care a bit more about his own life. She's always pleased when he pops up unharmed now and again. This former criminal has been blacklisted from Heartwood for his criminal debts to the Syndicate--though he has since paid them back in full, becoming an ally to the group.

: ● '''[[Ash Valken]]''' - The tall, brooding brother of Nyscera who has a strong dislike for Rath. E'kari met this former bandit spying on her a few times. Eventually the two had a sit-down conversation and became close--which was a new thing for the Au'Ra. E'kari taught Ash how to play a grasswhistle, fixed his broken hearing-aid and engaged in a playful spar. Somehow, in one way or another, most of their interactions end in awkward sexual-tension. The day Ash left Heartwood, E'kari gave him a necklace made from a strap of her doctor's bag to remember her by and encouraged him to follow his dreams.

: ● '''[[Akiyuki Okuma]]''' - The large, quiet, but overall pleasant husband of Cio who has joined Heartwood since his marriage to the plucky, pastel nursemaid. This reserved Au'Ra is a welcome addition to the family.

: ● '''[[Kenoni Eien’no]]''' - The betrothed of her friend Moralee. A stern and stoic acquaintance but never the less, E'kari admires his loyalty and commitment to Mordry. She hopes the two will have a wonderful life together with their child.

: ● '''[[J'edite Shedai]]''' - A fellow enthusiast of martial arts that spends most of her time roaming Thanalan seeking glory for the Jackal tribe. The two have had run-ins here and there as J'edite was on hunts and once sparred under the Sultan tree. The Seekers employ very different styles of their own making: while E'kari fights with her heavy handed "Golem Step" ideal for doing battle with armed and armored foes; J'edite uses fast kicks transitioning into fluid jabs in her "Fire Dancer" style that proves to be the bane of slower opponents. As it stands the two are friendly rivals.

: ● '''[[Alpon Adpon]]''' - The Pink Punisher! E'kari has met this "battle-chef" in passing more than once. The lalafell's skill in combat seems to rival his culinary prowess.

: ● '''[[Namaka Ebisu]]''' - A strange and sweet water-sprite who lives in a fountain. You want tree slugs? Because this is how you get tree slugs.

: ● '''[[Alistar Stormfist]]''' - Found by Heartwood on the road to Little Ala Mhigo, this former Garlean slave was near death and wearing a magitek collar. With no where else to go and no life to return to, this gentle giant returned with the caravan to the Heartwood Homestead.

: ● '''[[Lucinda Kovix]]''' - This kindly and capable, Ishgardian drifter met Doctor Sol as she was returning from conversing with the Everschade and her husband's chocobo ran off. Lucinda and E'kari worked together to catch the bird and got to talking about Lucy's need for work and also to find her missing brother. The Miqo'te has since come to stay at Heartwood which has overjoyed E'kari.

: ● '''[[L'nela Varya]]''' - A one-eyed woman who really enjoys taking a bite out of life! In all seriousness--L'nela is a chipper and quirky person. A little emotional at times, but rightfully so; as her recent years have been filled with trauma. Both physical and emotional. Careful, she likes to nibble!
 

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#4d0000;font-size:14px;color:#FFFFFF;">Disliked</div><div style="border:0px solid; padding:8px">===

:● '''[[Tharl Oom Khash - NPC]]''' - A being made of corruption who takes his name from his place of creation. While to most guardians of the Shroud he would be a natural enemy anyway--this thing has taken a special and terrible shine to tormenting E'kari and all of Heartwood. His track record of terrible deeds is staggering and body count ever on the rise. His most memorable in E'kari's mind were her children, Sagu'a and Cize. The vengeful mother aided in his demise by pummeling him with special stones--from Tynos and Kaiya--she formed into barbaric gauntlets.


:● '''[[The Pumpking - NPC]]''' - This strange and otherwordly being was initially just an unsettling presence that occasionally appeared in the Heartwood halls offering bargains for steep moral prices. It was not until this squash-headed man manipulated Tustin Lafell into a contract that he became E'kari's enemy. The Seeker used excessive force against the entitiy, beating him into a puddle of black ooze. He has since returned to haunt Heartwood, though has stifled a sum of E'kari's animosity toward him by fixing her carbuncle's shattered gem and helping finish off Khash for good.

:● '''[[Skyfwyb Aergankawyn]]''' - E'kari was not fond of this woman from the start. The monsterous Seawolf had committed crimes against Heartwood on numerous occasions. E'kari was glad to hear of her sting and arrest by the Maelstrom. In the time that has followed, however, the curt and belligerent captain seems to have changed her ways to some extent. E'kari now views her slightly more favorably after having witnessed Skyfwyb's capacity to care genuinely for another person. It was also by the aid of this former pirate that the Solsong household was able to cross the sea to the east. As it stands now they are allies.

== <div style="padding:10px 15px; background:#4d0000; font-size:20px; color:#ffffff">'''Character Trivia'''</div>==
 
:■ E'kari refers to people as 'master' or 'lady' because as a young newcomer to Gridania she was hazed by the local youths told that it was how non-tribal people spoke to one another. Excited to make 'friends' the Seeker picked this up almost immediately. It was not until this was an ingrained habit that she learned it was all a ruse for E'kari to make a fool of herself every time she spoke.
:■ Despite the skill not coming up particularly often, E'kari is adept at Thavnarian belly-dancing. This and many similar styles of celebratory dance were used among she and her kin in their tribal lands; though this is actually not their people's only connection to the middle east. The dress style, use of Alchemy and herbal medicines, even their taste in food has been greatly influenced by trade with Thavnair, much like many others who reside in Thanalan.
:■ E'kari will often experience an inconsolable sense of dread when E'yami is in emotional distress or danger, even if they are far apart. This link between twins seems to go both ways.
:■ Due to E'kari's heavy aspection to Earth she is notoriously difficult to knock off her feet and has immense stamina; adversely, she is not as quick as she'd like to be and swimming in deep water takes a significant amount of energy.
:■ Though most are unaware--or attribute some of her mannerisms to merely being quirky--E'kari actually suffers from high functioning autism. Social queues tend to be her biggest hurdle, along with focusing on the big picture of tasks as opposed to minuet details, and sorting out painful emotions.

<div>
=== '''♦ General''' ===
<hr>
 
: (This page has recently undergone a major rework! Check it out if you want to know what has changed!)
: This overly polite and apologetic medicine-woman can often be found scuttling about making deliveries for her shop. Due to her diligent work, E'kari's Alchemist Alley has become one of the Alchemist Guild's favored subsidiaries and is frequently called upon to do business as a representative of their organization. <div>
 



=== '''♦ Appearance''' ===
<hr>
 

: E'kari is a Seeker/Keeper half-breed who carries some physical traits from her mother and father. Her eyes are narrow slit-pupils, skin pale but capable of bronzing in the sun like a Seeker; though her fur is fluffy and tail is long like a Keeper.

: This miqo'te has a snow-print mane--white with undertones if black and grey--with pale blue eyes and bangle-stripes that frame her face.

: In true mage form--E'kari can usually be found in little to no armor, even when going into battle. It slows her down in preforming martial arts and also disrupts her casting to wear anything too heavy. Instead she prefers comfortable robes or her labcoat. <div>
 



=== '''♦ History ''' ===
<hr>
 
: The parentage of E'yami and E'kari is a taboo matter. One that the Nunh of the Eft ordered upon the strictest of penalty, never to be spoken of. While their mother--E'yari--was a Seeker and one of the designated breeding females to the Nunh; their father--Sagu'a--was actually a roving Keeper who had long since left behind a subservient life with his maternal-family in the Shroud to be a traveling poet, minstrel and anthropologist. The two Miqo'te met when Sagu'a and his scholarly lalafell companion, Anabel Nack, sought a place to rest during their travels. The tribe apprehensively took the researchers in as temporary guests. In that time Sagu'a and E'yari began a secret relationship.

:When it came to light that the two had been together Sagu'a was put to death, and his body unceremoniously left to rot in the heat of the desert just outside of their territory.

: In a double blow, not only was E'yari stricken with grief, but she also discovered she was pregnant. Due to a combination of her melancholy of her lost love, the despair at what her life would be at the whims of her Nunh and complications during the birthing process--E'yari died shortly after her second kit was delivered. The last words she managed to speak before slipping away were the names of her children. Both Doman, in honor of their father who fancied the culture. Yami, meaning dark, and Hikari meaning light--though the midwives were unfamiliar with the tongue, mistaking it simply for /E/kari.

: Upon the twins' birth into the Eft--as per tradition--the clan made a ceremonial offering of their namesake to Azeyma that would determine their role in the tribe. When the flesh was melted from the bones,their appointed wise-woman had determined E'kari was to be the next shaman while E'yami's bones were an augury that she was preordained to be a great warrior.

: The Nunh was pleased by the news and demanded celebration, but found that the females of the tribe were not nearly as thrilled. Many believed that the pale-faced kits with hair of black and white were cursed; killing their mother with ill-omen. Nack took this opportunity to offer her services in raising her friends' children and providing them with education.

:The lalafell's silver tongue managed to coerce the Nunh to allow this arrangement--given he had few other options. The three were put up in a yurt close to the Nunh's own home to keep an eye on the foreigner.

: In the years that proceeded their youth, the twins were given a proper education by the professor--in between being stolen away to be taught their duties to the Eft. While Yami practiced fighting the other tribal youths, Kari was introduced to herbal medicine, burial rites and how to divinate the future with the practice of bone reading.

: Despite the twins' diligent efforts to hone their skills and fulfill thier tribal roles, they sorely lacked any sort of companionship from the other children of the Eft--having learned from their mother's to be wary of the pale-faced Seekers. Because of this, Nack took it upon herself to try and teach the girls the basic art of carbuncle summoning and passed her own Topaz and Emerald gems down to each of them.

: Demure and plagued with anxiety, E'kari was given Nicholas--Nack's Emerald carbuncle--as a therapy animal; while E'yami received Whackara--a Topaz companion who had enough spunk and energy to keep up with her. Both arcanist-pets has served the Professor faithfully since her own youth and passed without incident into the hands of their new masters.

: As the twins neared their teenage years, an odd habit of E'kari's came to light. She could often be found speaking to the streams, winds and rock-faces in the territory which the tribe found very suspicious. Some of the more superstitious members of the tribe were convinced the was speaking to the dead; the Nunh believed this was some gift from the Warden, proving his right to rule was divine.

: Knowing better than to believe any of that, Nack speculated that this was a hereditary trait, passed down from Sagu'a, who was a Hearer. Once more the professor went to the Nunh and convinced him that he should allow her to take the twins to train abroad in Gridania that they might return more powerful and capable of serving him. He agreed to the idea and within a fortnight Nack brought the girls to the Shroud.

: Once in Gridania, E'kari joined the Conjurer's Guild as a student while E'yami sought training in both lance and bow.

: Though eager to make new friends the Seeker found this was easier said than done. The high populous of Hyur and Elezen looked condescendingly upon the tribal girls. It was not out of the ordinary for the more crude classmates to inquire if her parents were cousins. This trouble fitting in was compounded by the fact she didn't seem to learn at the same rate as everyone else. E'kari would often focus on small details of things, so much so that she could not intake an entire lesson. A classroom setting did her little credit, but during her free moments she would visit the Everschade and commune with the Elementals.

: On one such visit, a strong wind blew a small branch down from the great tree; which, E'kari took and mended with magic that it might be used as a crook.

: Due to her natural affinity for the forest and her difficulty with conventional methods of learning she was taken as a personal apprentice to Master E-Sumi-Yan, a patient Padjal who specialized in the guidance of Hearers. Discovering the trick seemed to be hands-on learning, he took every opportunity to have the Seeker accompany him while he worked. E'kari improved quickly under his tutelage, able to stand as a conjurer in her own right.

: Near the end of the girl's time abroad, the Seventh Umbral Calamity struck. With her guild called to act as medics on the field, the twins soon found themselves on the heels of disaster for the duration of the event. E'kari and her classmates followed the guildmasters into the chaos, assisting those who had been wounded or fallen. E'yami acted as E'kari's personal guard as she preformed field surgeries and magical healing. The two witnessed death up close on more than one occasion, finding themselves changed by the end of it all.

: After all was said and done, the girls' respective masters deemed them both students no longer. And while this was a sweet taste, it was also made bitter by the memories of carnage that now haunted them both.

: The twins returned to their desert territory as heroines who represented their tribe with valor and courage. The Nunh held festivities long into the night.It seemed as though they'd finally been accepted, but neither seemed particularly content with staying within the territory any more--not after all they had been through. Together E'yami and E'kari traveled to the Shrine of the Warden, offering an Eft in a pyre for guidance. When the flesh had melted from the bones, Azeyma's will bid they must go--for they had more to do out in the world. E'kari shared this edict with their people and with heavy hearts, they left again to find and fulfill their duties elsewhere until the time the Warden calls for them to return.

=== '''♦ Behavior ''' ===

 

: E'kari has a hard time learning in a conventional sense often requires an exceedingly patient teacher in order to have any real success. However once she does learn something--or is preforming a task she excels in--she is hard-pressed to be outshined.

: While still generally being good natured and apologetic, in combat E'kari is capable of being a formidable opponent. Being a conjurer she will often take the role of a healer, but her connection to the Elementals has also allowed to take a unique approach to martial arts. The Seeker will often harden a stone skin over her hands and feet while delivering blows, or using gales of wind to enhance her movement speed. She has named her self-made fighting style, "The Golem Step" which emphasizes momentum and fluidity. (Much of her techniques in form are inspired by real world Zui Quan)

: Despite her obvious shortcomings, E'kari is a very hopeful person and goes into every situation with optimism for success, even if she has failed at the task a hundred times before. Sometimes it's the hundred and first try that brings success.

: ● '''[[E'yami Amane]]''' - E'kari's protective fraternal twin sister, older by 7 minutes. E'yami has always been a strong source of strength, comfort and adventure as the two have grown. Though she has a very tomboyish and wears tough outer shell, E'kari knows that her sister is actually very caring and sensitive--always putting the needs of others before herself; and that is what makes her E'kari's hero.

: 💑 '''[[Vektis Sol]]''' - E'kari's boisterous, free-spirited and loveable husband. When they first met she admired his self confidence--often shyly observing him kicking down doors to shout his own name at people. There are few in the world who can raise E'kari's spirits like Vektis can. The two became close friends and then a couple shortly there after. Though many people see his behavior as a nuisance, E'kari celebrates her husband's off-beat mannerisms--unless of course they prove to be dangerous. She loves him to the end of the world and back. The two are married and have two young children together. "Yes, you have been informed correctly. Vektis is, indeed, the bestest." - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[E'kira Sol]]''' - The infant daughter of Vektis and E'kari, also commonly referred to as Kira. This tiny mixed breed of Keeper and Seeker has been though much hardship in her short life. E'kira is the sole survivor of a litter of three, making Vektis and E'kari very protective of her. Regardless of whatever situation she's in, E'kira tends to cry very little. Recently she'd begun learning to walk and talk. Already she has shown the propensity to always be making noise of some sort, just like her father.

: ● '''[[Maxwell Sol]]''' - Born to the Eft tribe--to the name E'rhaja Tia--and orphaned after his sire was defeated and overthrown by another male. E'kari picked up the kitten; she felt a kinship with him for their similar origins. Upon his arrival at Heartwood to the Sol family he was renamed by Vektis and E'kari so he might grow up feeling like he belonged. Now three cycles old, Max is shy, polite and thoughtful. Especially fond of tinkering with small shiny objects and collecting beads, rocks and shells. He has an exceptionally bright mind for a boy his age.

: ● '''[[Nicholas Nack- NPC]]''' - The ever-present summoned companion of E'kari. This carbuncle has been with E'kari throughout the Seeker's entire life as a sort of therapy animal, helping to keep her anxiety in check. With a gem layered with complex geometries: Anabel Nack made it so he and his sister creation--Whackara--could form memories; and with that, personalities. Nick is generally gentle and quiet, with a keen ability to sense people's emotional needs. As such, he tends to gravitate to people whom he suspects need comfort. Nick is aware of his own artificial intellegence and often grapples with his place in the world, as well as the loneliness that comes from his own existence. "Ploo!" - Nick

: ● '''[[Anabel Nack]]''' - Author, scientist, surgeon and parent. This quirky and frightening alchemist is the adopted mother of E'yami and E'kari. Nanabel Nabel by birth, she almost always goes by her pen-name "A.B. 'Nack'". Though her child rearing methods were always questionable at best, the most indisputable fact of it all is that Nack loves both of her girls very much. She is not above employing dark methods to ensure this mad-scientist keeps her loved ones safe. This lalafell's haunting laughter was picked up by E'kari as she was growing up. "Kuhuhuh....." - Anabel Nack

: ● '''[[Conrad Steelsong]]''' - This initially frighteningly large Ala Mhigan is actually the godparent of E'kari and Vektis' young daughter, E'kira. The four of them, as well as No'Ulla Khilik, all take up residence in the same house in the Mist. Conrad has obviously weathered the storm of many conflicts that have hardened his exterior. Despite his gruff demeanor, E'kari finds him to be a wonderful person and the closest thing to a father she's ever known.

: ● '''[[No'Ulla Khilik]]''' - The Ala Mhigan-weaver wife of Conrad Steelsong. She has recently returned from apprenticing in Ishgard to live with the Solsong household. E'kari finds her to be a skilled craftswoman and never tires of hearing about Ulla's special technique of Spell-Weaving. Ulla is a welcome addition to the family--E'kari just hopes that Vektis doesn't scare their new friend off with nonsensical antics.

: ● '''[[Nyscera Alarone]]''' - This mistress of shadowy death is a close friend of the twins' adopted mother. She is considered an aunt to E'kari and E'yami. Early on in E'kari stay at Heartwood, the dragon-riding assassin took E'kari, Bennett and Snowy in as pupils for physical and mental training. While it was grueling and at times crushing, E'kari owes her martial arts ability solely to these lessons. Nyscera taught E'kari the value of teamwork and also her how to be unphased by negative elements in her life.

: ● '''[[Rath Alarone]]''' - Nyscera's aloof husband--and by proxy--the twins' uncle. This applesauce-loving dark knight is the one that hired E'kari to work as the company alchemist--in no small part to do with the potent pain killers she was able to make for him after a fight that nearly ended in his death. He always seems have a joke lined up, even in the most bleak of situations.

: ● '''[[Bennett Cooper]]''' - E'kari's teammate and--since his adoption by Rath and Nyscera Alarone--cousin of sorts. E'kari sees Bennett as the shining future of their free company. While he makes mistakes and has a ways to go before he can truly master any of his arsenal of weapons, E'kari firmly believes this young boy is going to do great things. Could young Master Bennett be a something more than the average fighter...? "Cooper is Super..!" - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[E'vehlke Sohj]]''' - The maternal cousin of E'kari and E'yami. Vehlke is a fearless warrior with a strange accent. As she is a full blood Seeker of the Eft tribe, E'vehlke shares a striking resemblance to the twins' deceased mother.

: ● '''[[Sokhatai Borlaaq]]''' - This huntress is the wife of E'vehlke Sohj. She has a very specific way of talking. E'kari onced picked her brain about adventure and Au'Ra culture. She finds her delightful!

: ● '''[[Reina Sol]]''' - E'kari's half Keeper half Raen sister-in-law. She is the first person from Heartwood that the twins ever met, quickly taking the girls under her wing and giving them a place to stay. It was because of Reina that E'kari met Vektis. E'kari admires Reina as a strong and together person.

: ● '''[[Snowy Sol]]''' - E'kari's full miqo'te sister-in-law. Even before the two were related by marriage, E'kari has had a definite soft spot for this girl-genius in her heart. The two worked together in the clinic for some time, rather closely. In one occasion the two preformed life saving surgery on Vektis. E'kari's only qualm is that she fears this teen might be too relaxed about the dangerous world around her at times--but maybe that's just the anxiety talking.

: ● '''[[Xihvi'ir Valathri]]''' - Xihvi'ir, or 'Ashy' as the others have taken to calling him, is a kindly harp-player that has come into the service of Heartwood. Though E'kari doesn't know of his personal dealings in any intricate regard--other than his past as a gambler--she knows she can trust his character, as he is well loved by Nick. The Keeper has always loaned a helping hand to the company whenever a need arose, for that E'kari finds herself very grateful to her new friend. Though she doesn't know it yet, the two share an unexpected bond in blood.

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#4d0000; font-size:14px; color:#FFFFFF">Friends </div><div style="border:0px solid; padding:8px"> ===

: ● '''[[Sakeru Wakeru]]''' – This unsuspecting looking delivery boy has a dark past under the surface. A time ago, Sakeru divulged a portion of his history to E'kari and a few others. Oddly enough, she ended up trusting him more after learning he was a trained assassin. She was quite sad to see him leave but remembers him fondly. Wherever this lalafell goes two things are a certain: death and dinner. "Did I leave the oven on..?" - Sakeru Wakeru

: ● '''[[Tustin Lafell]]''' - The first moment E'kari saw this lalafell he was being arrested on the free company lawn for the attempted armed robbery. Later when he returned to make his peace with Heartwood the two met and over time became close companions. Tustin's street-savvy, wild and hot-headed demeanor contrasts E'kari's bookish, nervous, awkwardness in a very positive way. This Dunesfolk left Heartwood some time ago to make something of himself out in the world. Since then he has begun studying medicine. He remains, to this day, one of E'kari's most treasured and beloved friends. "I'm not cute! I'm manly as hell!" - Tustin Lafell

: ● '''[[Tynos Riller]]''' - This towering black mage initially greatly frightened E'kari upon their first meeting. Perhaps it was his scar, his serious expression or his sheer size--regardless, she now knows him as a very kind-hearted and family oriented leader. He sacrifices much of himself to keep Heartwood's members safe--and frankly--works too hard. It would be a shock to find him away from the clinic for longer than a month. It's safe to say, E'kari's pharmacy has a special 'Tynos Budget' for the small fortune it takes to keep this misfortune prone Elezen on his feet. "My goodness..! Hurt again, Master Tynos...?" - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[Cioccolato Stella]]''' - Cioccolato, or Lady Cio as E'kari calls her, works as a nurse and aspiring doctor for Heartwood. This charming and kind healer can often be seen sporting pastel colors and traveling around in the company of her Demon Brick, Cenere, which is a close friend of Max. E'kari has always been very fond of this miqo'te since her arrival and is one of the few she trusts to care for Kira and Max in her absence.

: ● '''[[Kaiya Ailbhe]]''' - The librarian, chief of medicine and over-all brains of Heartwood. E'kari admires the patience of this woman but also feels horribly guilty that the actions of her free company have driven Kaiya to take up smoking. Occasionally E'kari will bring Kaiya cinnamon sticks en masse as an attempt to give her something roughly cigarette shaped to hold and suck on. It is unknown if Doctor Ailhbe actually enjoys these or if she is merely humoring E'kari. Hopefully at the very least she is not being driven to smoke those as well...

: ● '''[[Zana Amaro]]''' - An aloof gunslinger and self proclaimed alley-cat. Despite being told not to, E'kari still insists on respectfully referring to this miqo'te as Lady Zana. When this woman is armed and in a foul mood . . . heaven help her target. E'kari has seen Zana rip a man's arm clean off. However Zana does also have a soft side. When E'kari was gravely injured in an attempt on her life, Zana stationed herself in the clinic to watch over her.

: ● '''[[Moralee Relen]]''' - Known to E'kari as "Mordry". This Au'Ra woman is rather complex for many reasons. Regardless E'kari cares greatly about Moralee and Mora in equal measure--although Mordry's "Moralee-half" is more familiar to her. Some time ago Mordry required E'kari's help with a somewhat risky task. This evoked the ire of her usually perpetually cheerful husband. Vektis has yet to forgive Mordry to this day, which fills the Seeker with guilt and remorse. However, because of that mission, E'kari learned how to brew a special and ancient potion she dubbed, "The Draught of the Dreamwalker".

: ● '''[[Neville Synch]]''' - This good natured marksman is the mate of Zana Amaro and the best friend of E'yami Amane. Over the period she has known him, this man has done a lot for E'kari's family which she could never repay. Though she does not know him too well personally she trusts him fully regardless. She always gets a chuckle out of the banter between Neville and Vektis.

: ● '''[[Vahn Quietfury]]''' - A sweet little boy with a curious connection to an elder dragon. E'kari first met the half lalafell on a caravan mission that was attacked. In the absence of his own mother, the Seeker would often look after Vahn when his father was away. One day when Vahn was playing with some of the other boys in the company yard he exhibited dangerous abilities. He and his father were sent away for the potential danger they posed. E'kari still loves Vahn like a son.

: ● '''[[Brandon Stormstrider]]''' - The Hyur father of Vahn Quietfury. E'kari met Brandon a short time after Vahn. The two became close friends, as the miqo'te was one of the few Heartwood members Brandon trusted. She would often do simple favors for the father and son to make their lives easier such as cleaning or bringing home pineapples. Upon their leaving to a new safehaven the Seeker found herself deeply saddend, however Brandon still sneaks over to the company on occasion. Brandon has placed E'kari under the protection of his men known only as "The Rogues".

: ● '''[[Enkhjargal Dalamiq]]''' - This stoic summoner is actually E'kari's master. He took her under his wing when she first arrived to Heartwood and had to terrorize her into being able to use her magic for anything beyond healing. His methods worked and looking back, E'kari owes him all of the strength she possesses now. Beyond that, she thinks he is a wonderful person who has natural ability with children. Who knew!

: ● '''[[Camille Everardi]]''' - Camille is Enkhjargal Dalamiq's wife and a talented mage, among many other things. E'kari has seen Camille fight in more than one way in the past with spars. She found this woman to be a strong female rolemodel for her in the past when she was just learning to fight--and still looks up to her to this day. E'kari couldn't be happier that her master and friend found happiness in each other's company.

: ● '''[[Chokho Viqqoh]]''' - A fierce, fiery and loyal amnesiac-Keeper who recently joined Heartwood. Since her arrival, Chokho and E'kari have become fast friends; bonding over their shared love of martial arts and string instruments. Though the two differ greatly in temperament and personality they have a shared respect for one another.

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#4d0000;font-size:14px;color:#FFFFFF;">Acquaintances</div><div style="border:0px solid; padding:8px">===

: ● '''[[Narumi Kotokaze]]''' - More commonly referred to as "Kota". E'kari met this Maelstrom affiliated bounty hunter on the road when she was set upon by highwaymen--which Kota easily dispatched. Since then the Raen has been promoted to first lieutenant of the Storm-guard and assigned to work as the handler of the former pirate Skyfwyb. The officer comissions her medicine from E'kari's "Alchemist's Alley". 

:● '''[[Nevrynn Alarone]]''' - While E'kari initially mistrusted the Seeker for his roguish persona and wanderlust, in resent months she has come to warm up to her sister's mate. Though she may not know him as well as she might like, he makes her sister happy. And the affection between the two are plain to see.

: ● '''[[Jake Jakkya]]''' - A red-lenses wearing void-mage who has spent a great deal of his life as a pit fighter. This spellsword is particularly close to E'kari's adopted mother, Nack, which makes him a brother of sorts. E'kari sorely wishes he would be less devil-may-care in demeanor at times, or at least care a bit more about his own life. She's always pleased when he pops up unharmed now and again. This former criminal has been blacklisted from Heartwood for his criminal debts to the Syndicate--though he has since paid them back in full, becoming an ally to the group.

: ● '''[[Ash Valken]]''' - The tall, brooding brother of Nyscera who has a strong dislike for Rath. E'kari met this former bandit spying on her a few times. Eventually the two had a sit-down conversation and became close--which was a new thing for the Au'Ra. E'kari taught Ash how to play a grasswhistle, fixed his broken hearing-aid and engaged in a playful spar. Somehow, in one way or another, most of their interactions end in awkward sexual-tension. The day Ash left Heartwood, E'kari gave him a necklace made from a strap of her doctor's bag to remember her by and encouraged him to follow his dreams.

: ● '''[[Akiyuki Okuma]]''' - The large, quiet, but overall pleasant husband of Cio who has joined Heartwood since his marriage to the plucky, pastel nursemaid. This reserved Au'Ra is a welcome addition to the family.

: ● '''[[Kenoni Eien’no]]''' - The betrothed of her friend Moralee. A stern and stoic acquaintance but never the less, E'kari admires his loyalty and commitment to Mordry. She hopes the two will have a wonderful life together with their child.

: ● '''[[J'edite Shedai]]''' - A fellow enthusiast of martial arts that spends most of her time roaming Thanalan seeking glory for the Jackal tribe. The two have had run-ins here and there as J'edite was on hunts and once sparred under the Sultan tree. The Seekers employ very different styles of their own making: while E'kari fights with her heavy handed "Golem Step" ideal for doing battle with armed and armored foes; J'edite uses fast kicks transitioning into fluid jabs in her "Fire Dancer" style that proves to be the bane of slower opponents. As it stands the two are friendly rivals.

: ● '''[[Alpon Adpon]]''' - The Pink Punisher! E'kari has met this "battle-chef" in passing more than once. The lalafell's skill in combat seems to rival his culinary prowess.

: ● '''[[Namaka Ebisu]]''' - A strange and sweet water-sprite who lives in a fountain. You want tree slugs? Because this is how you get tree slugs.

: ● '''[[Alistar Stormfist]]''' - Found by Heartwood on the road to Little Ala Mhigo, this former Garlean slave was near death and wearing a magitek collar. With no where else to go and no life to return to, this gentle giant returned with the caravan to the Heartwood Homestead.

: ● '''[[Lucinda Kovix]]''' - This kindly and capable, Ishgardian drifter met Doctor Sol as she was returning from conversing with the Everschade and her husband's chocobo ran off. Lucinda and E'kari worked together to catch the bird and got to talking about Lucy's need for work and also to find her missing brother. The Miqo'te has since come to stay at Heartwood which has overjoyed E'kari.

: ● '''[[L'nela Varya]]''' - A one-eyed woman who really enjoys taking a bite out of life! In all seriousness--L'nela is a chipper and quirky person. A little emotional at times, but rightfully so; as her recent years have been filled with trauma. Both physical and emotional. Careful, she likes to nibble!
 

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#4d0000;font-size:14px;color:#FFFFFF;">Disliked</div><div style="border:0px solid; padding:8px">===

:● '''[[Tharl Oom Khash - NPC]]''' - A being made of corruption who takes his name from his place of creation. While to most guardians of the Shroud he would be a natural enemy anyway--this thing has taken a special and terrible shine to tormenting E'kari and all of Heartwood. His track record of terrible deeds is staggering and body count ever on the rise. His most memorable in E'kari's mind were her children, Sagu'a and Cize. The vengeful mother aided in his demise by pummeling him with special stones--from Tynos and Kaiya--she formed into barbaric gauntlets.


:● '''[[The Pumpking - NPC]]''' - This strange and otherwordly being was initially just an unsettling presence that occasionally appeared in the Heartwood halls offering bargains for steep moral prices. It was not until this squash-headed man manipulated Tustin Lafell into a contract that he became E'kari's enemy. The Seeker used excessive force against the entitiy, beating him into a puddle of black ooze. He has since returned to haunt Heartwood, though has stifled a sum of E'kari's animosity toward him by fixing her carbuncle's shattered gem and helping finish off Khash for good.

:● '''[[Skyfwyb Aergankawyn]]''' - E'kari was not fond of this woman from the start. The monsterous Seawolf had committed crimes against Heartwood on numerous occasions. E'kari was glad to hear of her sting and arrest by the Maelstrom. In the time that has followed, however, the curt and belligerent captain seems to have changed her ways to some extent. E'kari now views her slightly more favorably after having witnessed Skyfwyb's capacity to care genuinely for another person. It was also by the aid of this former pirate that the Solsong household was able to cross the sea to the east. As it stands now they are allies.

== <div style="padding:10px 15px; background:#4d0000; font-size:20px; color:#ffffff">'''Character Trivia'''</div>==
 
:■ E'kari refers to people as 'master' or 'lady' because as a young newcomer to Gridania she was hazed by the local youths told that it was how non-tribal people spoke to one another. Excited to make 'friends' the Seeker picked this up almost immediately. It was not until this was an ingrained habit that she learned it was all a ruse for E'kari to make a fool of herself every time she spoke.
:■ Despite the skill not coming up particularly often, E'kari is adept at Thavnarian belly-dancing. This and many similar styles of celebratory dance were used among she and her kin in their tribal lands; though this is actually not their people's only connection to the middle east. The dress style, use of Alchemy and herbal medicines, even their taste in food has been greatly influenced by trade with Thavnaire, much like many others who reside in Thanalan.
:■ Due to E'kari's heavy aspection to Earth she is notoriously difficult to knock off her feet and has immense stamina; adversely, she is not as quick as she'd like to be and swimming in deep water takes a significant amount of energy.
:■ Though most are unaware--or attribute some of her mannerisms to merely being quirky--E'kari actually suffers from high functioning autism. Social queues tend to be her biggest hurdle, along with focusing on the big picture of tasks as opposed to minuet details, and sorting out painful emotions.

<div>
=== '''♦ General''' ===
<hr>
 
: (This page has recently undergone a major rework! Check it out if you want to know what has changed!)
: This overly polite and apologetic medicine-woman can often be found scuttling about making deliveries for her shop. Due to her diligent work, E'kari's Alchemist Alley has become one of the Alchemist Guild's favored subsidiaries and is frequently called upon to do business as a representative of their organization. <div>
 



=== '''♦ Appearance''' ===
<hr>
 

: E'kari is a Seeker/Keeper half-breed who carries some physical traits from her mother and father. Her eyes are narrow slit-pupils, skin pale but capable of bronzing in the sun like a Seeker; though her fur is fluffy and tail is long like a Keeper.

: This miqo'te has a snow-print mane--white with undertones if black and grey--with pale blue eyes and bangle-stripes that frame her face.

: In true mage form--E'kari can usually be found in little to no armor, even when going into battle. It slows her down in preforming martial arts and also disrupts her casting to wear anything too heavy. Instead she prefers comfortable robes or her labcoat. <div>
 



=== '''♦ History ''' ===
<hr>
 
: The parentage of E'yami and E'kari is a taboo matter. One that the Nunh of the Eft ordered upon the strictest of penalty, never to be spoken of. While their mother--E'yari--was a Seeker and one of the designated breeding females to the Nunh; their father--Sagu'a--was actually a roving Keeper who had long since left behind a subservient life with his maternal-family in the Shroud to be a traveling poet, minstrel and anthropologist. The two Miqo'te met when Sagu'a and his scholarly lalafell companion, Anabel Nack, sought a place to rest during their travels. The tribe apprehensively took the researchers in as temporary guests. In that time Sagu'a and E'yari began a secret relationship.

:When it came to light that the two had been together Sagu'a was put to death, and his body unceremoniously left to rot in the heat of the desert just outside of their territory.

: In a double blow, not only was E'yari stricken with grief, but she also discovered she was pregnant. Due to a combination of her melancholy of her lost love, the despair at what her life would be at the whims of her Nunh and complications during the birthing process--E'yari died shortly after her second kit was delivered. The last words she managed to speak before slipping away were the names of her children. Both Doman, in honor of their father who fancied the culture. Yami, meaning dark, and Hikari meaning light--though the midwives were unfamiliar with the tongue, mistaking it simply for /E/kari.

: Upon the twins' birth into the Eft--as per tradition--the clan made a ceremonial offering of their namesake to Azeyma that would determine their role in the tribe. When the flesh was melted from the bones,their appointed wise-woman had determined E'kari was to be the next shaman while E'yami's bones were an augury that she was preordained to be a great warrior.

: The Nunh was pleased by the news and demanded celebration, but found that the females of the tribe were not nearly as thrilled. Many believed that the pale-faced kits with hair of black and white were cursed; killing their mother with ill-omen. Nack took this opportunity to offer her services in raising her friends' children and providing them with education.

:The lalafell's silver tongue managed to coerce the Nunh to allow this arrangement--given he had few other options. The three were put up in a yurt close to the Nunh's own home to keep an eye on the foreigner.

: In the years that proceeded their youth, the twins were given a proper education by the professor--in between being stolen away to be taught their duties to the Eft. While Yami practiced fighting the other tribal youths, Kari was introduced to herbal medicine, burial rites and how to divinate the future with the practice of bone reading.

: Despite the twins' diligent efforts to hone their skills and fulfill thier tribal roles, they sorely lacked any sort of companionship from the other children of the Eft--having learned from their mother's to be wary of the pale-faced Seekers. Because of this, Nack took it upon herself to try and teach the girls the basic art of carbuncle summoning and passed her own Topaz and Emerald gems down to each of them.

: Demure and plagued with anxiety, E'kari was given Nicholas--Nack's Emerald carbuncle--as a therapy animal; while E'yami received Whackara--a Topaz companion who had enough spunk and energy to keep up with her. Both arcanist-pets has served the Professor faithfully since her own youth and passed without incident into the hands of their new masters.

: As the twins neared their teenage years, an odd habit of E'kari's came to light. She could often be found speaking to the streams, winds and rock-faces in the territory which the tribe found very suspicious. Some of the more superstitious members of the tribe were convinced the was speaking to the dead; the Nunh believed this was some gift from the Warden, proving his right to rule was divine.

: Knowing better than to believe any of that, Nack speculated that this was a hereditary trait, passed down from Sagu'a, who was a Hearer. Once more the professor went to the Nunh and convinced him that he should allow her to take the twins to train abroad in Gridania that they might return more powerful and capable of serving him. He agreed to the idea and within a fortnight Nack brought the girls to the Shroud.

: Once in Gridania, E'kari joined the Conjurer's Guild as a student while E'yami sought training in both lance and bow.

: Though eager to make new friends the Seeker found this was easier said than done. The high populous of Hyur and Elezen looked condescendingly upon the tribal girls. It was not out of the ordinary for the more crude classmates to inquire if her parents were cousins. This trouble fitting in was compounded by the fact she didn't seem to learn at the same rate as everyone else. E'kari would often focus on small details of things, so much so that she could not intake an entire lesson. A classroom setting did her little credit, but during her free moments she would visit the Everschade and commune with the Elementals.

: On one such visit, a strong wind blew a small branch down from the great tree; which, E'kari took and mended with magic that it might be used as a crook.

: Due to her natural affinity for the forest and her difficulty with conventional methods of learning she was taken as a personal apprentice to Master E-Sumi-Yan, a patient Padjal who specialized in the guidance of Hearers. Discovering the trick seemed to be hands-on learning, he took every opportunity to have the Seeker accompany him while he worked. E'kari improved quickly under his tutelage, able to stand as a conjurer in her own right.

: Near the end of the girl's time abroad, the Seventh Umbral Calamity struck. With her guild called to act as medics on the field, the twins soon found themselves on the heels of disaster for the duration of the event. E'kari and her classmates followed the guildmasters into the chaos, assisting those who had been wounded or fallen. E'yami acted as E'kari's personal guard as she preformed field surgeries and magical healing. The two witnessed death up close on more than one occasion, finding themselves changed by the end of it all.

: After all was said and done, the girls' respective masters deemed them both students no longer. And while this was a sweet taste, it was also made bitter by the memories of carnage that now haunted them both.

: The twins returned to their desert territory as heroines who represented their tribe with valor and courage. The Nunh held festivities long into the night.It seemed as though they'd finally been accepted, but neither seemed particularly content with staying within the territory any more--not after all they had been through. Together E'yami and E'kari traveled to the Shrine of the Warden, offering an Eft in a pyre for guidance. When the flesh had melted from the bones, Azeyma's will bid they must go--for they had more to do out in the world. E'kari shared this edict with their people and with heavy hearts, they left again to find and fulfill their duties elsewhere until the time the Warden calls for them to return.

=== '''♦ Behavior ''' ===

 

: E'kari has a hard time learning in a conventional sense often requires an exceedingly patient teacher in order to have any real success. However once she does learn something--or is preforming a task she excels in--she is hard-pressed to be outshined.

: While still generally being good natured and apologetic, in combat E'kari is capable of being a formidable opponent. Being a conjurer she will often take the role of a healer, but her connection to the Elementals has also allowed to take a unique approach to martial arts. The Seeker will often harden a stone skin over her hands and feet while delivering blows, or using gales of wind to enhance her movement speed. She has named her self-made fighting style, "The Golem Step" which emphasizes momentum and fluidity. (Much of her techniques in form are inspired by real world Zui Quan)

: Despite her obvious shortcomings, E'kari is a very hopeful person and goes into every situation with optimism for success, even if she has failed at the task a hundred times before. Sometimes it's the hundred and first try that brings success.

: ● '''[[E'yami Amane]]''' - E'kari's protective fraternal twin sister, older by 7 minutes. E'yami has always been a strong source of strength, comfort and adventure as the two have grown. Though she has a very tomboyish and wears tough outer shell, E'kari knows that her sister is actually very caring and sensitive--always putting the needs of others before herself; and that is what makes her E'kari's hero.

: 💑 '''[[Vektis Sol]]''' - E'kari's boisterous, free-spirited and loveable husband. When they first met she admired his self confidence--often shyly observing him kicking down doors to shout his own name at people. There are few in the world who can raise E'kari's spirits like Vektis can. The two became close friends and then a couple shortly there after. Though many people see his behavior as a nuisance, E'kari celebrates her husband's off-beat mannerisms--unless of course they prove to be dangerous. She loves him to the end of the world and back. The two are married and have two young children together. "Yes, you have been informed correctly. Vektis is, indeed, the bestest." - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[E'kira Sol]]''' - The infant daughter of Vektis and E'kari, also commonly referred to as Kira. This tiny mixed breed of Keeper and Seeker has been though much hardship in her short life. E'kira is the sole survivor of a litter of three, making Vektis and E'kari very protective of her. Regardless of whatever situation she's in, E'kira tends to cry very little. Recently she'd begun learning to walk and talk. Already she has shown the propensity to always be making noise of some sort, just like her father.

: ● '''[[Maxwell Sol]]''' - Born to the Eft tribe--to the name E'rhaja Tia--and orphaned after his sire was defeated and overthrown by another male. E'kari picked up the kitten; she felt a kinship with him for their similar origins. Upon his arrival at Heartwood to the Sol family he was renamed by Vektis and E'kari so he might grow up feeling like he belonged. Now three cycles old, Max is shy, polite and thoughtful. Especially fond of tinkering with small shiny objects and collecting beads, rocks and shells. He has an exceptionally bright mind for a boy his age.

: ● '''[[Nicholas Nack- NPC]]''' - The ever-present summoned companion of E'kari. This carbuncle has been with E'kari throughout the Seeker's entire life as a sort of therapy animal, helping to keep her anxiety in check. With a gem layered with complex geometries: Anabel Nack made it so he and his sister creation--Whackara--could form memories; and with that, personalities. Nick is generally gentle and quiet, with a keen ability to sense people's emotional needs. As such, he tends to gravitate to people whom he suspects need comfort. Nick is aware of his own artificial intellegence and often grapples with his place in the world, as well as the loneliness that comes from his own existence. "Ploo!" - Nick

: ● '''[[Anabel Nack]]''' - Author, scientist, surgeon and parent. This quirky and frightening alchemist is the adopted mother of E'yami and E'kari. Nanabel Nabel by birth, she almost always goes by her pen-name "A.B. 'Nack'". Though her child rearing methods were always questionable at best, the most indisputable fact of it all is that Nack loves both of her girls very much. She is not above employing dark methods to ensure this mad-scientist keeps her loved ones safe. This lalafell's haunting laughter was picked up by E'kari as she was growing up. "Kuhuhuh....." - Anabel Nack

: ● '''[[Conrad Steelsong]]''' - This initially frighteningly large Ala Mhigan is actually the godparent of E'kari and Vektis' young daughter, E'kira. The four of them, as well as No'Ulla Khilik, all take up residence in the same house in the Mist. Conrad has obviously weathered the storm of many conflicts that have hardened his exterior. Despite his gruff demeanor, E'kari finds him to be a wonderful person and the closest thing to a father she's ever known.

: ● '''[[No'Ulla Khilik]]''' - The Ala Mhigan-weaver wife of Conrad Steelsong. She has recently returned from apprenticing in Ishgard to live with the Solsong household. E'kari finds her to be a skilled craftswoman and never tires of hearing about Ulla's special technique of Spell-Weaving. Ulla is a welcome addition to the family--E'kari just hopes that Vektis doesn't scare their new friend off with nonsensical antics.

: ● '''[[Nyscera Alarone]]''' - This mistress of shadowy death is a close friend of the twins' adopted mother. She is considered an aunt to E'kari and E'yami. Early on in E'kari stay at Heartwood, the dragon-riding assassin took E'kari, Bennett and Snowy in as pupils for physical and mental training. While it was grueling and at times crushing, E'kari owes her martial arts ability solely to these lessons. Nyscera taught E'kari the value of teamwork and also her how to be unphased by negative elements in her life.

: ● '''[[Rath Alarone]]''' - Nyscera's aloof husband--and by proxy--the twins' uncle. This applesauce-loving dark knight is the one that hired E'kari to work as the company alchemist--in no small part to do with the potent pain killers she was able to make for him after a fight that nearly ended in his death. He always seems have a joke lined up, even in the most bleak of situations.

: ● '''[[Bennett Cooper]]''' - E'kari's teammate and--since his adoption by Rath and Nyscera Alarone--cousin of sorts. E'kari sees Bennett as the shining future of their free company. While he makes mistakes and has a ways to go before he can truly master any of his arsenal of weapons, E'kari firmly believes this young boy is going to do great things. Could young Master Bennett be a something more than the average fighter...? "Cooper is Super..!" - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[E'vehlke Sohj]]''' - The maternal cousin of E'kari and E'yami. Vehlke is a fearless warrior with a strange accent. As she is a full blood Seeker of the Eft tribe, E'vehlke shares a striking resemblance to the twins' deceased mother.

: ● '''[[Sokhatai Borlaaq]]''' - This huntress is the wife of E'vehlke Sohj. She has a very specific way of talking. E'kari onced picked her brain about adventure and Au'Ra culture. She finds her delightful!

: ● '''[[Reina Sol]]''' - E'kari's half Keeper half Raen sister-in-law. She is the first person from Heartwood that the twins ever met, quickly taking the girls under her wing and giving them a place to stay. It was because of Reina that E'kari met Vektis. E'kari admires Reina as a strong and together person.

: ● '''[[Snowy Sol]]''' - E'kari's full miqo'te sister-in-law. Even before the two were related by marriage, E'kari has had a definite soft spot for this girl-genius in her heart. The two worked together in the clinic for some time, rather closely. In one occasion the two preformed life saving surgery on Vektis. E'kari's only qualm is that she fears this teen might be too relaxed about the dangerous world around her at times--but maybe that's just the anxiety talking.

: ● '''[[Xihvi'ir Valathri]]''' - Xihvi'ir, or 'Ashy' as the others have taken to calling him, is a kindly harp-player that has come into the service of Heartwood. Though E'kari doesn't know of his personal dealings in any intricate regard--other than his past as a gambler--she knows she can trust his character, as he is well loved by Nick. The Keeper has always loaned a helping hand to the company whenever a need arose, for that E'kari finds herself very grateful to her new friend. Though she doesn't know it yet, the two share an unexpected bond in blood.

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#4d0000; font-size:14px; color:#FFFFFF">Friends </div><div style="border:0px solid; padding:8px"> ===

: ● '''[[Sakeru Wakeru]]''' – This unsuspecting looking delivery boy has a dark past under the surface. A time ago, Sakeru divulged a portion of his history to E'kari and a few others. Oddly enough, she ended up trusting him more after learning he was a trained assassin. She was quite sad to see him leave but remembers him fondly. Wherever this lalafell goes two things are a certain: death and dinner. "Did I leave the oven on..?" - Sakeru Wakeru

: ● '''[[Tustin Lafell]]''' - The first moment E'kari saw this lalafell he was being arrested on the free company lawn for the attempted armed robbery. Later when he returned to make his peace with Heartwood the two met and over time became close companions. Tustin's street-savvy, wild and hot-headed demeanor contrasts E'kari's bookish, nervous, awkwardness in a very positive way. This Dunesfolk left Heartwood some time ago to make something of himself out in the world. Since then he has begun studying medicine. He remains, to this day, one of E'kari's most treasured and beloved friends. "I'm not cute! I'm manly as hell!" - Tustin Lafell

: ● '''[[Tynos Riller]]''' - This towering black mage initially greatly frightened E'kari upon their first meeting. Perhaps it was his scar, his serious expression or his sheer size--regardless, she now knows him as a very kind-hearted and family oriented leader. He sacrifices much of himself to keep Heartwood's members safe--and frankly--works too hard. It would be a shock to find him away from the clinic for longer than a month. It's safe to say, E'kari's pharmacy has a special 'Tynos Budget' for the small fortune it takes to keep this misfortune prone Elezen on his feet. "My goodness..! Hurt again, Master Tynos...?" - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[Cioccolato Stella]]''' - Cioccolato, or Lady Cio as E'kari calls her, works as a nurse and aspiring doctor for Heartwood. This charming and kind healer can often be seen sporting pastel colors and traveling around in the company of her Demon Brick, Cenere, which is a close friend of Max. E'kari has always been very fond of this miqo'te since her arrival and is one of the few she trusts to care for Kira and Max in her absence.

: ● '''[[Kaiya Ailbhe]]''' - The librarian, chief of medicine and over-all brains of Heartwood. E'kari admires the patience of this woman but also feels horribly guilty that the actions of her free company have driven Kaiya to take up smoking. Occasionally E'kari will bring Kaiya cinnamon sticks en masse as an attempt to give her something roughly cigarette shaped to hold and suck on. It is unknown if Doctor Ailhbe actually enjoys these or if she is merely humoring E'kari. Hopefully at the very least she is not being driven to smoke those as well...

: ● '''[[Zana Amaro]]''' - An aloof gunslinger and self proclaimed alley-cat. Despite being told not to, E'kari still insists on respectfully referring to this miqo'te as Lady Zana. When this woman is armed and in a foul mood . . . heaven help her target. E'kari has seen Zana rip a man's arm clean off. However Zana does also have a soft side. When E'kari was gravely injured in an attempt on her life, Zana stationed herself in the clinic to watch over her.

: ● '''[[Moralee Relen]]''' - Known to E'kari as "Mordry". This Au'Ra woman is rather complex for many reasons. Regardless E'kari cares greatly about Moralee and Mora in equal measure--although Mordry's "Moralee-half" is more familiar to her. Some time ago Mordry required E'kari's help with a somewhat risky task. This evoked the ire of her usually perpetually cheerful husband. Vektis has yet to forgive Mordry to this day, which fills the Seeker with guilt and remorse. However, because of that mission, E'kari learned how to brew a special and ancient potion she dubbed, "The Draught of the Dreamwalker".

: ● '''[[Neville Synch]]''' - This good natured marksman is the mate of Zana Amaro and the best friend of E'yami Amane. Over the period she has known him, this man has done a lot for E'kari's family which she could never repay. Though she does not know him too well personally she trusts him fully regardless. She always gets a chuckle out of the banter between Neville and Vektis.

: ● '''[[Vahn Quietfury]]''' - A sweet little boy with a curious connection to an elder dragon. E'kari first met the half lalafell on a caravan mission that was attacked. In the absence of his own mother, the Seeker would often look after Vahn when his father was away. One day when Vahn was playing with some of the other boys in the company yard he exhibited dangerous abilities. He and his father were sent away for the potential danger they posed. E'kari still loves Vahn like a son.

: ● '''[[Brandon Stormstrider]]''' - The Hyur father of Vahn Quietfury. E'kari met Brandon a short time after Vahn. The two became close friends, as the miqo'te was one of the few Heartwood members Brandon trusted. She would often do simple favors for the father and son to make their lives easier such as cleaning or bringing home pineapples. Upon their leaving to a new safehaven the Seeker found herself deeply saddend, however Brandon still sneaks over to the company on occasion. Brandon has placed E'kari under the protection of his men known only as "The Rogues".

: ● '''[[Enkhjargal Dalamiq]]''' - This stoic summoner is actually E'kari's master. He took her under his wing when she first arrived to Heartwood and had to terrorize her into being able to use her magic for anything beyond healing. His methods worked and looking back, E'kari owes him all of the strength she possesses now. Beyond that, she thinks he is a wonderful person who has natural ability with children. Who knew!

: ● '''[[Camille Everardi]]''' - Camille is Enkhjargal Dalamiq's wife and a talented mage, among many other things. E'kari has seen Camille fight in more than one way in the past with spars. She found this woman to be a strong female rolemodel for her in the past when she was just learning to fight--and still looks up to her to this day. E'kari couldn't be happier that her master and friend found happiness in each other's company.

: ● '''[[Chokho Viqqoh]]''' - A fierce, fiery and loyal amnesiac-Keeper who recently joined Heartwood. Since her arrival, Chokho and E'kari have become fast friends; bonding over their shared love of martial arts and string instruments. Though the two differ greatly in temperament and personality they have a shared respect for one another.

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#4d0000;font-size:14px;color:#FFFFFF;">Acquaintances</div><div style="border:0px solid; padding:8px">===

: ● '''[[Narumi Kotokaze]]''' - More commonly referred to as "Kota". E'kari met this Maelstrom affiliated bounty hunter on the road when she was set upon by highwaymen--which Kota easily dispatched. Since then the Raen has been promoted to first lieutenant of the Storm-guard and assigned to work as the handler of the former pirate Skyfwyb. The officer comissions her medicine from E'kari's "Alchemist's Alley". 

:● '''[[Nevrynn Alarone]]''' - While E'kari initially mistrusted the Seeker for his roguish persona and wanderlust, in resent months she has come to warm up to her sister's mate. Though she may not know him as well as she might like, he makes her sister happy. And the affection between the two are plain to see.

: ● '''[[Jake Jakkya]]''' - A red-lenses wearing void-mage who has spent a great deal of his life as a pit fighter. This spellsword is particularly close to E'kari's adopted mother, Nack, which makes him a brother of sorts. E'kari sorely wishes he would be less devil-may-care in demeanor at times, or at least care a bit more about his own life. She's always pleased when he pops up unharmed now and again. This former criminal has been blacklisted from Heartwood for his criminal debts to the Syndicate--though he has since paid them back in full, becoming an ally to the group.

: ● '''[[Ash Valken]]''' - The tall, brooding brother of Nyscera who has a strong dislike for Rath. E'kari met this former bandit spying on her a few times. Eventually the two had a sit-down conversation and became close--which was a new thing for the Au'Ra. E'kari taught Ash how to play a grasswhistle, fixed his broken hearing-aid and engaged in a playful spar. Somehow, in one way or another, most of their interactions end in awkward sexual-tension. The day Ash left Heartwood, E'kari gave him a necklace made from a strap of her doctor's bag to remember her by and encouraged him to follow his dreams.

: ● '''[[Akiyuki Okuma]]''' - The large, quiet, but overall pleasant husband of Cio who has joined Heartwood since his marriage to the plucky, pastel nursemaid. This reserved Au'Ra is a welcome addition to the family.

: ● '''[[Kenoni Eien’no]]''' - The betrothed of her friend Moralee. A stern and stoic acquaintance but never the less, E'kari admires his loyalty and commitment to Mordry. She hopes the two will have a wonderful life together with their child.

: ● '''[[J'edite Shedai]]''' - A fellow enthusiast of martial arts that spends most of her time roaming Thanalan seeking glory for the Jackal tribe. The two have had run-ins here and there as J'edite was on hunts and once sparred under the Sultan tree. The Seekers employ very different styles of their own making: while E'kari fights with her heavy handed "Golem Step" ideal for doing battle with armed and armored foes; J'edite uses fast kicks transitioning into fluid jabs in her "Fire Dancer" style that proves to be the bane of slower opponents. As it stands the two are friendly rivals.

: ● '''[[Alpon Adpon]]''' - The Pink Punisher! E'kari has met this "battle-chef" in passing more than once. The lalafell's skill in combat seems to rival his culinary prowess.

: ● '''[[Namaka Ebisu]]''' - A strange and sweet water-sprite who lives in a fountain. You want tree slugs? Because this is how you get tree slugs.

: ● '''[[Alistar Stormfist]]''' - Found by Heartwood on the road to Little Ala Mhigo, this former Garlean slave was near death and wearing a magitek collar. With no where else to go and no life to return to, this gentle giant returned with the caravan to the Heartwood Homestead.

: ● '''[[Lucinda Kovix]]''' - This kindly and capable, Ishgardian drifter met Doctor Sol as she was returning from conversing with the Everschade and her husband's chocobo ran off. Lucinda and E'kari worked together to catch the bird and got to talking about Lucy's need for work and also to find her missing brother. The Miqo'te has since come to stay at Heartwood which has overjoyed E'kari.

: ● '''[[L'nela Varya]]''' - A one-eyed woman who really enjoys taking a bite out of life! In all seriousness--L'nela is a chipper and quirky person. A little emotional at times, but rightfully so; as her recent years have been filled with trauma. Both physical and emotional. Careful, she likes to nibble!
 

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#4d0000;font-size:14px;color:#FFFFFF;">Disliked</div><div style="border:0px solid; padding:8px">===

:● '''[[Tharl Oom Khash - NPC]]''' - A being made of corruption who takes his name from his place of creation. While to most guardians of the Shroud he would be a natural enemy anyway--this thing has taken a special and terrible shine to tormenting E'kari and all of Heartwood. His track record of terrible deeds is staggering and body count ever on the rise. His most memorable in E'kari's mind were her children, Sagu'a and Cize. The vengeful mother aided in his demise by pummeling him with special stones--from Tynos and Kaiya--she formed into barbaric gauntlets.


:● '''[[The Pumpking - NPC]]''' - This strange and otherwordly being was initially just an unsettling presence that occasionally appeared in the Heartwood halls offering bargains for steep moral prices. It was not until this squash-headed man manipulated Tustin Lafell into a contract that he became E'kari's enemy. The Seeker used excessive force against the entitiy, beating him into a puddle of black ooze. He has since returned to haunt Heartwood, though has stifled a sum of E'kari's animosity toward him by fixing her carbuncle's shattered gem and helping finish off Khash for good.

:● '''[[Skyfwyb Aergankawyn]]''' - E'kari was not fond of this woman from the start. The monsterous Seawolf had committed crimes against Heartwood on numerous occasions. E'kari was glad to hear of her sting and arrest by the Maelstrom. In the time that has followed, however, the curt and belligerent captain seems to have changed her ways to some extent. E'kari now views her slightly more favorably after having witnessed Skyfwyb's capacity to care genuinely for another person. It was also by the aid of this former pirate that the Solsong household was able to cross the sea to the east. As it stands now they are allies.

== <div style="padding:10px 15px; background:#4d0000; font-size:20px; color:#ffffff">'''Character Trivia'''</div>==
 
:■ E'kari refers to people as 'master' or 'lady' because as a young newcomer to Gridania she was hazed by the local youths told that it was how non-tribal people spoke to one another. Excited to make 'friends' the Seeker picked this up almost immediately. It was not until this was an ingrained habit that she learned it was all a ruse for E'kari to make a fool of herself every time she spoke.
:■ Despite the skill not coming up particularly often, E'kari is adept at Thavnarian belly-dancing. This and many similar styles of celebratory dance were used among she and her kin in their tribal lands; though this is actually not their people's only connection to the middle east. The dress style, use of Alchemy and herbal medicines, even their taste in food has been greatly influenced by trade with Thavnaire, much like many others who reside in Thanalan.
:■ Due to E'kari's heavy aspection to Earth she is notoriously difficult to knock off her feet and has immense stamina; adversely, she is not as quick as she'd like to be and swimming in deep water takes a significant amount of energy.
:■ Though most are unaware--or attribute some of her mannerisms to merely being quirky--E'kari actually suffers from high functioning autism. Social queues tend to be her biggest hurdle, along with focusing on the big picture of tasks as opposed to minuet details, and sorting out painful emotions.

<div>
=== '''♦ General''' ===
<hr>
 
: (This page has recently undergone a major rework! Check it out if you want to know what has changed!)
: This overly polite and apologetic medicine-woman can often be found scuttling about making deliveries for her shop. Due to her diligent work, E'kari's Alchemist Alley has become one of the Alchemist Guild's favored subsidiaries and is frequently called upon to do business as a representative of their organization. <div>
 



=== '''♦ Appearance''' ===
<hr>
 

: E'kari is a Seeker/Keeper half-breed who carries some physical traits from her mother and father. Her eyes are narrow slit-pupils, skin pale but capable of bronzing in the sun like a Seeker; though her fur is fluffy and tail is long like a Keeper.

: This miqo'te has a snow-print mane--white with undertones if black and grey--with pale blue eyes and bangle-stripes that frame her face.

: In true mage form--E'kari can usually be found in little to no armor, even when going into battle. It slows her down in preforming martial arts and also disrupts her casting to wear anything too heavy. Instead she prefers comfortable robes or her labcoat. <div>
 



=== '''♦ History ''' ===
<hr>
 
: The parentage of E'yami and E'kari is a taboo matter. One that the Nunh of the Eft ordered upon the strictest of penalty, never to be spoken of. While their mother--E'yari--was a Seeker and one of the designated breeding females to the Nunh; their father--Sagu'a--was actually a roving Keeper who had long since left behind a subservient life with his maternal-family in the Shroud to be a traveling poet, minstrel and anthropologist. The two Miqo'te met when Sagu'a and his scholarly lalafell companion, Anabel Nack, sought a place to rest during their travels. The tribe apprehensively took the researchers in as temporary guests. In that time Sagu'a and E'yari began a secret relationship.

:When it came to light that the two had been together Sagu'a was put to death, and his body unceremoniously left to rot in the heat of the desert just outside of their territory.

: In a double blow, not only was E'yari stricken with grief, but she also discovered she was pregnant. Due to a combination of her melancholy of her lost love, the despair at what her life would be at the whims of her Nunh and complications during the birthing process--E'yari died shortly after her second kit was delivered. The last words she managed to speak before slipping away were the names of her children. Both Doman, in honor of their father who fancied the culture. Yami, meaning dark, and Hikari meaning light--though the midwives were unfamiliar with the tongue, mistaking it simply for /E/kari.

: Upon the twins' birth into the Eft--as per tradition--the clan made a ceremonial offering of their namesake to Azeyma that would determine their role in the tribe. When the flesh was melted from the bones,their appointed wise-woman had determined E'kari was to be the next shaman while E'yami's bones were an augury that she was preordained to be a great warrior.

: The Nunh was pleased by the news and demanded celebration, but found that the females of the tribe were not nearly as thrilled. Many believed that the pale-faced kits with hair of black and white were cursed; killing their mother with ill-omen. Nack took this opportunity to offer her services in raising her friends' children and providing them with education.

:The lalafell's silver tongue managed to coerce the Nunh to allow this arrangement--given he had few other options. The three were put up in a yurt close to the Nunh's own home to keep an eye on the foreigner.

: In the years that proceeded their youth, the twins were given a proper education by the professor--in between being stolen away to be taught their duties to the Eft. While Yami practiced fighting the other tribal youths, Kari was introduced to herbal medicine, burial rites and how to divinate the future with the practice of bone reading.

: Despite the twins' diligent efforts to hone their skills and fulfill thier tribal roles, they sorely lacked any sort of companionship from the other children of the Eft--having learned from their mother's to be wary of the pale-faced Seekers. Because of this, Nack took it upon herself to try and teach the girls the basic art of carbuncle summoning and passed her own Topaz and Emerald gems down to each of them.

: Demure and plagued with anxiety, E'kari was given Nicholas--Nack's Emerald carbuncle--as a therapy animal; while E'yami received Whackara--a Topaz companion who had enough spunk and energy to keep up with her. Both arcanist-pets has served the Professor faithfully since her own youth and passed without incident into the hands of their new masters.

: As the twins neared their teenage years, an odd habit of E'kari's came to light. She could often be found speaking to the streams, winds and rock-faces in the territory which the tribe found very suspicious. Some of the more superstitious members of the tribe were convinced the was speaking to the dead; the Nunh believed this was some gift from the Warden, proving his right to rule was divine.

: Knowing better than to believe any of that, Nack speculated that this was a hereditary trait, passed down from Sagu'a, who was a Hearer. Once more the professor went to the Nunh and convinced him that he should allow her to take the twins to train abroad in Gridania that they might return more powerful and capable of serving him. He agreed to the idea and within a fortnight Nack brought the girls to the Shroud.

: Once in Gridania, E'kari joined the Conjurer's Guild as a student while E'yami sought training in both lance and bow.

: Though eager to make new friends the Seeker found this was easier said than done. The high populous of Hyur and Elezen looked condescendingly upon the tribal girls. It was not out of the ordinary for the more crude classmates to inquire if her parents were cousins. This trouble fitting in was compounded by the fact she didn't seem to learn at the same rate as everyone else. E'kari would often focus on small details of things, so much so that she could not intake an entire lesson. A classroom setting did her little credit, but during her free moments she would visit the Everschade and commune with the Elementals.

: On one such visit, a strong wind blew a small branch down from the great tree; which, E'kari took and mended with magic that it might be used as a crook.

: Due to her natural affinity for the forest and her difficulty with conventional methods of learning she was taken as a personal apprentice to Master E-Sumi-Yan, a patient Padjal who specialized in the guidance of Hearers. Discovering the trick seemed to be hands-on learning, he took every opportunity to have the Seeker accompany him while he worked. E'kari improved quickly under his tutelage, able to stand as a conjurer in her own right.

: Near the end of the girl's time abroad, the Seventh Umbral Calamity struck. With her guild called to act as medics on the field, the twins soon found themselves on the heels of disaster for the duration of the event. E'kari and her classmates followed the guildmasters into the chaos, assisting those who had been wounded or fallen. E'yami acted as E'kari's personal guard as she preformed field surgeries and magical healing. The two witnessed death up close on more than one occasion, finding themselves changed by the end of it all.

: After all was said and done, the girls' respective masters deemed them both students no longer. And while this was a sweet taste, it was also made bitter by the memories of carnage that now haunted them both.

: The twins returned to their desert territory as heroines who represented their tribe with valor and courage. The Nunh held festivities long into the night.It seemed as though they'd finally been accepted, but neither seemed particularly content with staying within the territory any more--not after all they had been through. Together E'yami and E'kari traveled to the Shrine of the Warden, offering an Eft in a pyre for guidance. When the flesh had melted from the bones, Azeyma's will bid they must go--for they had more to do out in the world. E'kari shared this edict with their people and with heavy hearts, they left again to find and fulfill their duties elsewhere until the time the Warden calls for them to return.

=== '''♦ Behavior ''' ===

 

: E'kari has a hard time learning in a conventional sense often requires an exceedingly patient teacher in order to have any real success. However once she does learn something--or is preforming a task she excels in--she is hard-pressed to be outshined.

: While still generally being good natured and apologetic, in combat E'kari is capable of being a formidable opponent. Being a conjurer she will often take the role of a healer, but her connection to the Elementals has also allowed to take a unique approach to martial arts. The Seeker will often harden a stone skin over her hands and feet while delivering blows, or using gales of wind to enhance her movement speed. She has named her self-made fighting style, "The Golem Step" which emphasizes momentum and fluidity. (Much of her techniques in form are inspired by real world Zui Quan)

: Despite her obvious shortcomings, E'kari is a very hopeful person and goes into every situation with optimism for success, even if she has failed at the task a hundred times before. Sometimes it's the hundred and first try that brings success.

: ● '''[[E'yami Amane]]''' - E'kari's protective fraternal twin sister, older by 7 minutes. E'yami has always been a strong source of strength, comfort and adventure as the two have grown. Though she has a very tomboyish and wears tough outer shell, E'kari knows that her sister is actually very caring and sensitive--always putting the needs of others before herself; and that is what makes her E'kari's hero.

: 💑 '''[[Vektis Sol]]''' - E'kari's boisterous, free-spirited and loveable husband. When they first met she admired his self confidence--often shyly observing him kicking down doors to shout his own name at people. There are few in the world who can raise E'kari's spirits like Vektis can. The two became close friends and then a couple shortly there after. Though many people see his behavior as a nuisance, E'kari celebrates her husband's off-beat mannerisms--unless of course they prove to be dangerous. She loves him to the end of the world and back. The two are married and have two young children together. "Yes, you have been informed correctly. Vektis is, indeed, the bestest." - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[E'kira Sol]]''' - The infant daughter of Vektis and E'kari, also commonly referred to as Kira. This tiny mixed breed of Keeper and Seeker has been though much hardship in her short life. E'kira is the sole survivor of a litter of three, making Vektis and E'kari very protective of her. Regardless of whatever situation she's in, E'kira tends to cry very little. Recently she'd begun learning to walk and talk. Already she has shown the propensity to always be making noise of some sort, just like her father.

: ● '''[[Maxwell Sol]]''' - Born to the Eft tribe--to the name E'rhaja Tia--and orphaned after his sire was defeated and overthrown by another male. E'kari picked up the kitten; she felt a kinship with him for their similar origins. Upon his arrival at Heartwood to the Sol family he was renamed by Vektis and E'kari so he might grow up feeling like he belonged. Now three cycles old, Max is shy, polite and thoughtful. Especially fond of tinkering with small shiny objects and collecting beads, rocks and shells. He has an exceptionally bright mind for a boy his age.

: ● '''[[Nicholas Nack- NPC]]''' - The ever-present summoned companion of E'kari. This carbuncle has been with E'kari throughout the Seeker's entire life as a sort of therapy animal, helping to keep her anxiety in check. With a gem layered with complex geometries: Anabel Nack made it so he and his sister creation--Whackara--could form memories; and with that, personalities. Nick is generally gentle and quiet, with a keen ability to sense people's emotional needs. As such, he tends to gravitate to people whom he suspects need comfort. Nick is aware of his own artificial intellegence and often grapples with his place in the world, as well as the loneliness that comes from his own existence. "Ploo!" - Nick

: ● '''[[Anabel Nack]]''' - Author, scientist, surgeon and parent. This quirky and frightening alchemist is the adopted mother of E'yami and E'kari. Nanabel Nabel by birth, she almost always goes by her pen-name "A.B. 'Nack'". Though her child rearing methods were always questionable at best, the most indisputable fact of it all is that Nack loves both of her girls very much. She is not above employing dark methods to ensure this mad-scientist keeps her loved ones safe. This lalafell's haunting laughter was picked up by E'kari as she was growing up. "Kuhuhuh....." - Anabel Nack

: ● '''[[Conrad Steelsong]]''' - This initially frighteningly large Ala Mhigan is actually the godparent of E'kari and Vektis' young daughter, E'kira. The four of them, as well as No'Ulla Khilik, all take up residence in the same house in the Mist. Conrad has obviously weathered the storm of many conflicts that have hardened his exterior. Despite his gruff demeanor, E'kari finds him to be a wonderful person and the closest thing to a father she's ever known.

: ● '''[[No'Ulla Khilik]]''' - The Ala Mhigan-weaver wife of Conrad Steelsong. She has recently returned from apprenticing in Ishgard to live with the Solsong household. E'kari finds her to be a skilled craftswoman and never tires of hearing about Ulla's special technique of Spell-Weaving. Ulla is a welcome addition to the family--E'kari just hopes that Vektis doesn't scare their new friend off with nonsensical antics.

: ● '''[[Nyscera Alarone]]''' - This mistress of shadowy death is a close friend of the twins' adopted mother. She is considered an aunt to E'kari and E'yami. Early on in E'kari stay at Heartwood, the dragon-riding assassin took E'kari, Bennett and Snowy in as pupils for physical and mental training. While it was grueling and at times crushing, E'kari owes her martial arts ability solely to these lessons. Nyscera taught E'kari the value of teamwork and also her how to be unphased by negative elements in her life.

: ● '''[[Rath Alarone]]''' - Nyscera's aloof husband--and by proxy--the twins' uncle. This applesauce-loving dark knight is the one that hired E'kari to work as the company alchemist--in no small part to do with the potent pain killers she was able to make for him after a fight that nearly ended in his death. He always seems have a joke lined up, even in the most bleak of situations.

: ● '''[[Bennett Cooper]]''' - E'kari's teammate and--since his adoption by Rath and Nyscera Alarone--cousin of sorts. E'kari sees Bennett as the shining future of their free company. While he makes mistakes and has a ways to go before he can truly master any of his arsenal of weapons, E'kari firmly believes this young boy is going to do great things. Could young Master Bennett be a something more than the average fighter...? "Cooper is Super..!" - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[E'vehlke Sohj]]''' - The maternal cousin of E'kari and E'yami. Vehlke is a fearless warrior with a strange accent. As she is a full blood Seeker of the Eft tribe, E'vehlke shares a striking resemblance to the twins' deceased mother.

: ● '''[[Sokhatai Borlaaq]]''' - This huntress is the wife of E'vehlke Sohj. She has a very specific way of talking. E'kari onced picked her brain about adventure and Au'Ra culture. She finds her delightful!

: ● '''[[Reina Sol]]''' - E'kari's half Keeper half Raen sister-in-law. She is the first person from Heartwood that the twins ever met, quickly taking the girls under her wing and giving them a place to stay. It was because of Reina that E'kari met Vektis. E'kari admires Reina as a strong and together person.

: ● '''[[Snowy Sol]]''' - E'kari's full miqo'te sister-in-law. Even before the two were related by marriage, E'kari has had a definite soft spot for this girl-genius in her heart. The two worked together in the clinic for some time, rather closely. In one occasion the two preformed life saving surgery on Vektis. E'kari's only qualm is that she fears this teen might be too relaxed about the dangerous world around her at times--but maybe that's just the anxiety talking.

: ● '''[[Xihvi'ir Valathri]]''' - Xihvi'ir, or 'Ashy' as the others have taken to calling him, is a kindly harp-player that has come into the service of Heartwood. Though E'kari doesn't know of his personal dealings in any intricate regard--other than his past as a gambler--she knows she can trust his character, as he is well loved by Nick. The Keeper has always loaned a helping hand to the company whenever a need arose, for that E'kari finds herself very grateful to her new friend. Though she doesn't know it yet, the two share an unexpected bond in blood.

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#4d0000; font-size:14px; color:#FFFFFF">Friends </div><div style="border:0px solid; padding:8px"> ===

: ● '''[[Sakeru Wakeru]]''' – This unsuspecting looking delivery boy has a dark past under the surface. A time ago, Sakeru divulged a portion of his history to E'kari and a few others. Oddly enough, she ended up trusting him more after learning he was a trained assassin. She was quite sad to see him leave but remembers him fondly. Wherever this lalafell goes two things are a certain: death and dinner. "Did I leave the oven on..?" - Sakeru Wakeru

: ● '''[[Tustin Lafell]]''' - The first moment E'kari saw this lalafell he was being arrested on the free company lawn for the attempted armed robbery. Later when he returned to make his peace with Heartwood the two met and over time became close companions. Tustin's street-savvy, wild and hot-headed demeanor contrasts E'kari's bookish, nervous, awkwardness in a very positive way. This Dunesfolk left Heartwood some time ago to make something of himself out in the world. Since then he has begun studying medicine. He remains, to this day, one of E'kari's most treasured and beloved friends. "I'm not cute! I'm manly as hell!" - Tustin Lafell

: ● '''[[Tynos Riller]]''' - This towering black mage initially greatly frightened E'kari upon their first meeting. Perhaps it was his scar, his serious expression or his sheer size--regardless, she now knows him as a very kind-hearted and family oriented leader. He sacrifices much of himself to keep Heartwood's members safe--and frankly--works too hard. It would be a shock to find him away from the clinic for longer than a month. It's safe to say, E'kari's pharmacy has a special 'Tynos Budget' for the small fortune it takes to keep this misfortune prone Elezen on his feet. "My goodness..! Hurt again, Master Tynos...?" - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[Cioccolato Stella]]''' - Cioccolato, or Lady Cio as E'kari calls her, works as a nurse and aspiring doctor for Heartwood. This charming and kind healer can often be seen sporting pastel colors and traveling around in the company of her Demon Brick, Cenere, which is a close friend of Max. E'kari has always been very fond of this miqo'te since her arrival and is one of the few she trusts to care for Kira and Max in her absence.

: ● '''[[Kaiya Ailbhe]]''' - The librarian, chief of medicine and over-all brains of Heartwood. E'kari admires the patience of this woman but also feels horribly guilty that the actions of her free company have driven Kaiya to take up smoking. Occasionally E'kari will bring Kaiya cinnamon sticks en masse as an attempt to give her something roughly cigarette shaped to hold and suck on. It is unknown if Doctor Ailhbe actually enjoys these or if she is merely humoring E'kari. Hopefully at the very least she is not being driven to smoke those as well...

: ● '''[[Zana Amaro]]''' - An aloof gunslinger and self proclaimed alley-cat. Despite being told not to, E'kari still insists on respectfully referring to this miqo'te as Lady Zana. When this woman is armed and in a foul mood . . . heaven help her target. E'kari has seen Zana rip a man's arm clean off. However Zana does also have a soft side. When E'kari was gravely injured in an attempt on her life, Zana stationed herself in the clinic to watch over her.

: ● '''[[Moralee Relen]]''' - Known to E'kari as "Mordry". This Au'Ra woman is rather complex for many reasons. Regardless E'kari cares greatly about Moralee and Mora in equal measure--although Mordry's "Moralee-half" is more familiar to her. Some time ago Mordry required E'kari's help with a somewhat risky task. This evoked the ire of her usually perpetually cheerful husband. Vektis has yet to forgive Mordry to this day, which fills the Seeker with guilt and remorse. However, because of that mission, E'kari learned how to brew a special and ancient potion she dubbed, "The Draught of the Dreamwalker".

: ● '''[[Neville Synch]]''' - This good natured marksman is the mate of Zana Amaro and the best friend of E'yami Amane. Over the period she has known him, this man has done a lot for E'kari's family which she could never repay. Though she does not know him too well personally she trusts him fully regardless. She always gets a chuckle out of the banter between Neville and Vektis.

: ● '''[[Vahn Quietfury]]''' - A sweet little boy with a curious connection to an elder dragon. E'kari first met the half lalafell on a caravan mission that was attacked. In the absence of his own mother, the Seeker would often look after Vahn when his father was away. One day when Vahn was playing with some of the other boys in the company yard he exhibited dangerous abilities. He and his father were sent away for the potential danger they posed. E'kari still loves Vahn like a son.

: ● '''[[Brandon Stormstrider]]''' - The Hyur father of Vahn Quietfury. E'kari met Brandon a short time after Vahn. The two became close friends, as the miqo'te was one of the few Heartwood members Brandon trusted. She would often do simple favors for the father and son to make their lives easier such as cleaning or bringing home pineapples. Upon their leaving to a new safehaven the Seeker found herself deeply saddend, however Brandon still sneaks over to the company on occasion. Brandon has placed E'kari under the protection of his men known only as "The Rogues".

: ● '''[[Enkhjargal Dalamiq]]''' - This stoic summoner is actually E'kari's master. He took her under his wing when she first arrived to Heartwood and had to terrorize her into being able to use her magic for anything beyond healing. His methods worked and looking back, E'kari owes him all of the strength she possesses now. Beyond that, she thinks he is a wonderful person who has natural ability with children. Who knew!

: ● '''[[Camille Everardi]]''' - Camille is Enkhjargal Dalamiq's wife and a talented mage, among many other things. E'kari has seen Camille fight in more than one way in the past with spars. She found this woman to be a strong female rolemodel for her in the past when she was just learning to fight--and still looks up to her to this day. E'kari couldn't be happier that her master and friend found happiness in each other's company.

: ● '''[[Chokho Viqqoh]]''' - A fierce, fiery and loyal amnesiac-Keeper who recently joined Heartwood. Since her arrival, Chokho and E'kari have become fast friends; bonding over their shared love of martial arts and string instruments. Though the two differ greatly in temperament and personality they have a shared respect for one another.

: ● '''[[Narumi Kotokaze]]''' - More commonly referred to as "Kota". E'kari met this Maelstrom affiliated bounty hunter on the road when she was set upon by highwaymen--which Kota easily dispatched. Since then the Raen has been promoted to first lieutenant of the Storm-guard and assigned to work as the handler of the former pirate Skyfwyb. The officer comissions her medicine from E'kari's "Alchemist's Alley". 

:● '''[[Nevrynn Alarone]]''' - While E'kari initially mistrusted the Seeker for his roguish persona and wanderlust, in resent months she has come to warm up to her sister's mate. Though she may not know him as well as she might like, he makes her sister happy. And the affection between the two are plain to see.

: ● '''[[Jake Jakkya]]''' - A red-lenses wearing void-mage who has spent a great deal of his life as a pit fighter. This spellsword is particularly close to E'kari's adopted mother, Nack, which makes him a brother of sorts. E'kari sorely wishes he would be less devil-may-care in demeanor at times, or at least care a bit more about his own life. She's always pleased when he pops up unharmed now and again. This former criminal has been blacklisted from Heartwood for his criminal debts to the Syndicate--though he has since paid them back in full, becoming an ally to the group.

: ● '''[[Ash Valken]]''' - The tall, brooding brother of Nyscera who has a strong dislike for Rath. E'kari met this former bandit spying on her a few times. Eventually the two had a sit-down conversation and became close--which was a new thing for the Au'Ra. E'kari taught Ash how to play a grasswhistle, fixed his broken hearing-aid and engaged in a playful spar. Somehow, in one way or another, most of their interactions end in awkward sexual-tension. The day Ash left Heartwood, E'kari gave him a necklace made from a strap of her doctor's bag to remember her by and encouraged him to follow his dreams.

: ● '''[[Akiyuki Okuma]]''' - The large, quiet, but overall pleasant husband of Cio who has joined Heartwood since his marriage to the plucky, pastel nursemaid. This reserved Au'Ra is a welcome addition to the family.

: ● '''[[Kenoni Eien’no]]''' - The betrothed of her friend Moralee. A stern and stoic acquaintance but never the less, E'kari admires his loyalty and commitment to Mordry. She hopes the two will have a wonderful life together with their child.

: ● '''[[J'edite Shedai]]''' - A fellow enthusiast of martial arts that spends most of her time roaming Thanalan seeking glory for the Jackal tribe. The two have had run-ins here and there as J'edite was on hunts and once sparred under the Sultan tree. The Seekers employ very different styles of their own making: while E'kari fights with her heavy handed "Golem Step" ideal for doing battle with armed and armored foes; J'edite uses fast kicks transitioning into fluid jabs in her "Fire Dancer" style that proves to be the bane of slower opponents. As it stands the two are friendly rivals.

: ● '''[[Alpon Adpon]]''' - The Pink Punisher! E'kari has met this "battle-chef" in passing more than once. The lalafell's skill in combat seems to rival his culinary prowess.

: ● '''[[Namaka Ebisu]]''' - A strange and sweet water-sprite who lives in a fountain. You want tree slugs? Because this is how you get tree slugs.

: ● '''[[Alistar Stormfist]]''' - Found by Heartwood on the road to Little Ala Mhigo, this former Garlean slave was near death and wearing a magitek collar. With no where else to go and no life to return to, this gentle giant returned with the caravan to the Heartwood Homestead.

: ● '''[[Lucinda Kovix]]''' - This kindly and capable, Ishgardian drifter met Doctor Sol as she was returning from conversing with the Everschade and her husband's chocobo ran off. Lucinda and E'kari worked together to catch the bird and got to talking about Lucy's need for work and also to find her missing brother. The Miqo'te has since come to stay at Heartwood which has overjoyed E'kari.

: ● '''[[L'nela Varya]]''' - A one-eyed woman who really enjoys taking a bite out of life! In all seriousness--L'nela is a chipper and quirky person. A little emotional at times, but rightfully so; as her recent years have been filled with trauma. Both physical and emotional. Careful, she likes to nibble!
 

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#4d0000;font-size:14px;color:#FFFFFF;">Disliked</div><div style="border:0px solid; padding:8px">===

:● '''[[Tharl Oom Khash - NPC]]''' - A being made of corruption who takes his name from his place of creation. While to most guardians of the Shroud he would be a natural enemy anyway--this thing has taken a special and terrible shine to tormenting E'kari and all of Heartwood. His track record of terrible deeds is staggering and body count ever on the rise. His most memorable in E'kari's mind were her children, Sagu'a and Cize. The vengeful mother aided in his demise by pummeling him with special stones--from Tynos and Kaiya--she formed into barbaric gauntlets.


:● '''[[The Pumpking - NPC]]''' - This strange and otherwordly being was initially just an unsettling presence that occasionally appeared in the Heartwood halls offering bargains for steep moral prices. It was not until this squash-headed man manipulated Tustin Lafell into a contract that he became E'kari's enemy. The Seeker used excessive force against the entitiy, beating him into a puddle of black ooze. He has since returned to haunt Heartwood, though has stifled a sum of E'kari's animosity toward him by fixing her carbuncle's shattered gem and helping finish off Khash for good.

:● '''[[Skyfwyb Aergankawyn]]''' - E'kari was not fond of this woman from the start. The monsterous Seawolf had committed crimes against Heartwood on numerous occasions. E'kari was glad to hear of her sting and arrest by the Maelstrom. In the time that has followed, however, the curt and belligerent captain seems to have changed her ways to some extent. E'kari now views her slightly more favorably after having witnessed Skyfwyb's capacity to care genuinely for another person. It was also by the aid of this former pirate that the Solsong household was able to cross the sea to the east. As it stands now they are allies.

== <div style="padding:10px 15px; background:#4d0000; font-size:20px; color:#ffffff">'''Character Trivia'''</div>==
 
:■ E'kari refers to people as 'master' or 'lady' because as a young newcomer to Gridania she was hazed by the local youths told that it was how non-tribal people spoke to one another. Excited to make 'friends' the Seeker picked this up almost immediately. It was not until this was an ingrained habit that she learned it was all a ruse for E'kari to make a fool of herself every time she spoke.
:■ Despite the skill not coming up particularly often, E'kari is adept at Thavnarian belly-dancing. This and many similar styles of celebratory dance were used among she and her kin in their tribal lands; though this is actually not their people's only connection to the middle east. The dress style, use of Alchemy and herbal medicines, even their taste in food has been greatly influenced by trade with Thavnaire, much like many others who reside in Thanalan.
:■ Due to E'kari's heavy aspection to Earth she is notoriously difficult to knock off her feet and has immense stamina; adversely, she is not as quick as she'd like to be and swimming in deep water takes a significant amount of energy.
:■ Though most are unaware--or attribute some of her mannerisms to merely being quirky--E'kari actually suffers from high functioning autism. Social queues tend to be her biggest hurdle, along with focusing on the big picture of tasks as opposed to minuet details, and sorting out painful emotions.

<div>
=== '''♦ General''' ===
<hr>
 
: (This page has recently undergone a major rework! Check it out if you want to know what has changed!)
: This overly polite and apologetic medicine-woman can often be found scuttling about making deliveries for her shop. Due to her diligent work, E'kari's Alchemist Alley has become one of the Alchemist Guild's favored subsidiaries and is frequently called upon to do business as a representative of their organization. <div>
 



=== '''♦ Appearance''' ===
<hr>
 

: E'kari is a Seeker/Keeper half-breed who carries some physical traits from her mother and father. Her eyes are narrow slit-pupils, skin pale but capable of bronzing in the sun like a Seeker; though her fur is fluffy and tail is long like a Keeper.

: This miqo'te has a snow-print mane--white with undertones if black and grey--with pale blue eyes and bangle-stripes that frame her face.

: In true mage form--E'kari can usually be found in little to no armor, even when going into battle. It slows her down in preforming martial arts and also disrupts her casting to wear anything too heavy. Instead she prefers comfortable robes or her labcoat. <div>
 



=== '''♦ History ''' ===
<hr>
 
: The parentage of E'yami and E'kari is a taboo matter. One that the Nunh of the Eft ordered upon the strictest of penalty, never to be spoken of. While their mother--E'yari--was a Seeker and one of the designated breeding females to the Nunh; their father--Sagu'a--was actually a roving Keeper who had long since left behind a subservient life with his maternal-family in the Shroud to be a traveling poet, minstrel and anthropologist. The two Miqo'te met when Sagu'a and his scholarly lalafell companion, Anabel Nack, sought a place to rest during their travels. The tribe apprehensively took the researchers in as temporary guests. In that time Sagu'a and E'yari began a secret relationship.

:When it came to light that the two had been together Sagu'a was put to death, and his body unceremoniously left to rot in the heat of the desert just outside of their territory.

: In a double blow, not only was E'yari stricken with grief, but she also discovered she was pregnant. Due to a combination of her melancholy of her lost love, the despair at what her life would be at the whims of her Nunh and complications during the birthing process--E'yari died shortly after her second kit was delivered. The last words she managed to speak before slipping away were the names of her children. Both Doman, in honor of their father who fancied the culture. Yami, meaning dark, and Hikari meaning light--though the midwives were unfamiliar with the tongue, mistaking it simply for /E/kari.

: Upon the twins' birth into the Eft--as per tradition--the clan made a ceremonial offering of their namesake to Azeyma that would determine their role in the tribe. When the flesh was melted from the bones,their appointed wise-woman had determined E'kari was to be the next shaman while E'yami's bones were an augury that she was preordained to be a great warrior.

: The Nunh was pleased by the news and demanded celebration, but found that the females of the tribe were not nearly as thrilled. Many believed that the pale-faced kits with hair of black and white were cursed; killing their mother with ill-omen. Nack took this opportunity to offer her services in raising her friends' children and providing them with education.

:The lalafell's silver tongue managed to coerce the Nunh to allow this arrangement--given he had few other options. The three were put up in a yurt close to the Nunh's own home to keep an eye on the foreigner.

: In the years that proceeded their youth, the twins were given a proper education by the professor--in between being stolen away to be taught their duties to the Eft. While Yami practiced fighting the other tribal youths, Kari was introduced to herbal medicine, burial rites and how to divinate the future with the practice of bone reading.

: Despite the twins' diligent efforts to hone their skills and fulfill thier tribal roles, they sorely lacked any sort of companionship from the other children of the Eft--having learned from their mother's to be wary of the pale-faced Seekers. Because of this, Nack took it upon herself to try and teach the girls the basic art of carbuncle summoning and passed her own Topaz and Emerald gems down to each of them.

: Demure and plagued with anxiety, E'kari was given Nicholas--Nack's Emerald carbuncle--as a therapy animal; while E'yami received Whackara--a Topaz companion who had enough spunk and energy to keep up with her. Both arcanist-pets has served the Professor faithfully since her own youth and passed without incident into the hands of their new masters.

: As the twins neared their teenage years, an odd habit of E'kari's came to light. She could often be found speaking to the streams, winds and rock-faces in the territory which the tribe found very suspicious. Some of the more superstitious members of the tribe were convinced the was speaking to the dead; the Nunh believed this was some gift from the Warden, proving his right to rule was divine.

: Knowing better than to believe any of that, Nack speculated that this was a hereditary trait, passed down from Sagu'a, who was a Hearer. Once more the professor went to the Nunh and convinced him that he should allow her to take the twins to train abroad in Gridania that they might return more powerful and capable of serving him. He agreed to the idea and within a fortnight Nack brought the girls to the Shroud.

: Once in Gridania, E'kari joined the Conjurer's Guild as a student while E'yami sought training in both lance and bow.

: Though eager to make new friends the Seeker found this was easier said than done. The high populous of Hyur and Elezen looked condescendingly upon the tribal girls. It was not out of the ordinary for the more crude classmates to inquire if her parents were cousins. This trouble fitting in was compounded by the fact she didn't seem to learn at the same rate as everyone else. E'kari would often focus on small details of things, so much so that she could not intake an entire lesson. A classroom setting did her little credit, but during her free moments she would visit the Everschade and commune with the Elementals.

: On one such visit, a strong wind blew a small branch down from the great tree; which, E'kari took and mended with magic that it might be used as a crook.

: Due to her natural affinity for the forest and her difficulty with conventional methods of learning she was taken as a personal apprentice to Master E-Sumi-Yan, a patient Padjal who specialized in the guidance of Hearers. Discovering the trick seemed to be hands-on learning, he took every opportunity to have the Seeker accompany him while he worked. E'kari improved quickly under his tutelage, able to stand as a conjurer in her own right.

: Near the end of the girl's time abroad, the Seventh Umbral Calamity struck. With her guild called to act as medics on the field, the twins soon found themselves on the heels of disaster for the duration of the event. E'kari and her classmates followed the guildmasters into the chaos, assisting those who had been wounded or fallen. E'yami acted as E'kari's personal guard as she preformed field surgeries and magical healing. The two witnessed death up close on more than one occasion, finding themselves changed by the end of it all.

: After all was said and done, the girls' respective masters deemed them both students no longer. And while this was a sweet taste, it was also made bitter by the memories of carnage that now haunted them both.

: The twins returned to their desert territory as heroines who represented their tribe with valor and courage. The Nunh held festivities long into the night.It seemed as though they'd finally been accepted, but neither seemed particularly content with staying within the territory any more--not after all they had been through. Together E'yami and E'kari traveled to the Shrine of the Warden, offering an Eft in a pyre for guidance. When the flesh had melted from the bones, Azeyma's will bid they must go--for they had more to do out in the world. E'kari shared this edict with their people and with heavy hearts, they left again to find and fulfill their duties elsewhere until the time the Warden calls for them to return.

=== '''♦ Behavior ''' ===

 

: E'kari has a hard time learning in a conventional sense often requires an exceedingly patient teacher in order to have any real success. However once she does learn something--or is preforming a task she excels in--she is hard-pressed to be outshined.

: While still generally being good natured and apologetic, in combat E'kari is capable of being a formidable opponent. Being a conjurer she will often take the role of a healer, but her connection to the Elementals has also allowed to take a unique approach to martial arts. The Seeker will often harden a stone skin over her hands and feet while delivering blows, or using gales of wind to enhance her movement speed. She has named her self-made fighting style, "The Golem Step" which emphasizes momentum and fluidity. (Much of her techniques in form are inspired by real world Zui Quan)

: Despite her obvious shortcomings, E'kari is a very hopeful person and goes into every situation with optimism for success, even if she has failed at the task a hundred times before. Sometimes it's the hundred and first try that brings success.

: ● '''[[E'yami Amane]]''' - E'kari's protective fraternal twin sister, older by 7 minutes. E'yami has always been a strong source of strength, comfort and adventure as the two have grown. Though she has a very tomboyish and wears tough outer shell, E'kari knows that her sister is actually very caring and sensitive--always putting the needs of others before herself; and that is what makes her E'kari's hero.

: 💑 '''[[Vektis Sol]]''' - E'kari's boisterous, free-spirited and loveable husband. When they first met she admired his self confidence--often shyly observing him kicking down doors to shout his own name at people. There are few in the world who can raise E'kari's spirits like Vektis can. The two became close friends and then a couple shortly there after. Though many people see his behavior as a nuisance, E'kari celebrates her husband's off-beat mannerisms--unless of course they prove to be dangerous. She loves him to the end of the world and back. The two are married and have two young children together. "Yes, you have been informed correctly. Vektis is, indeed, the bestest." - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[E'kira Sol]]''' - The infant daughter of Vektis and E'kari, also commonly referred to as Kira. This tiny mixed breed of Keeper and Seeker has been though much hardship in her short life. E'kira is the sole survivor of a litter of three, making Vektis and E'kari very protective of her. Regardless of whatever situation she's in, E'kira tends to cry very little. Recently she'd begun learning to walk and talk. Already she has shown the propensity to always be making noise of some sort, just like her father.

: ● '''[[Maxwell Sol]]''' - Born to the Eft tribe--to the name E'rhaja Tia--and orphaned after his sire was defeated and overthrown by another male. E'kari picked up the kitten; she felt a kinship with him for their similar origins. Upon his arrival at Heartwood to the Sol family he was renamed by Vektis and E'kari so he might grow up feeling like he belonged. Now three cycles old, Max is shy, polite and thoughtful. Especially fond of tinkering with small shiny objects and collecting beads, rocks and shells. He has an exceptionally bright mind for a boy his age.

: ● '''[[Nicholas Nack- NPC]]''' - The ever-present summoned companion of E'kari. This carbuncle has been with E'kari throughout the Seeker's entire life as a sort of therapy animal, helping to keep her anxiety in check. With a gem layered with complex geometries: Anabel Nack made it so he and his sister creation--Whackara--could form memories; and with that, personalities. Nick is generally gentle and quiet, with a keen ability to sense people's emotional needs. As such, he tends to gravitate to people whom he suspects need comfort. Nick is aware of his own artificial intellegence and often grapples with his place in the world, as well as the loneliness that comes from his own existence. "Ploo!" - Nick

: ● '''[[Anabel Nack]]''' - Author, scientist, surgeon and parent. This quirky and frightening alchemist is the adopted mother of E'yami and E'kari. Nanabel Nabel by birth, she almost always goes by her pen-name "A.B. 'Nack'". Though her child rearing methods were always questionable at best, the most indisputable fact of it all is that Nack loves both of her girls very much. She is not above employing dark methods to ensure this mad-scientist keeps her loved ones safe. This lalafell's haunting laughter was picked up by E'kari as she was growing up. "Kuhuhuh....." - Anabel Nack

: ● '''[[Conrad Steelsong]]''' - This initially frighteningly large Ala Mhigan is actually the godparent of E'kari and Vektis' young daughter, E'kira. The four of them, as well as No'Ulla Khilik, all take up residence in the same house in the Mist. Conrad has obviously weathered the storm of many conflicts that have hardened his exterior. Despite his gruff demeanor, E'kari finds him to be a wonderful person and the closest thing to a father she's ever known.

: ● '''[[No'Ulla Khilik]]''' - The Ala Mhigan-weaver wife of Conrad Steelsong. She has recently returned from apprenticing in Ishgard to live with the Solsong household. E'kari finds her to be a skilled craftswoman and never tires of hearing about Ulla's special technique of Spell-Weaving. Ulla is a welcome addition to the family--E'kari just hopes that Vektis doesn't scare their new friend off with nonsensical antics.

: ● '''[[Nyscera Alarone]]''' - This mistress of shadowy death is a close friend of the twins' adopted mother. She is considered an aunt to E'kari and E'yami. Early on in E'kari stay at Heartwood, the dragon-riding assassin took E'kari, Bennett and Snowy in as pupils for physical and mental training. While it was grueling and at times crushing, E'kari owes her martial arts ability solely to these lessons. Nyscera taught E'kari the value of teamwork and also her how to be unphased by negative elements in her life.

: ● '''[[Rath Alarone]]''' - Nyscera's aloof husband--and by proxy--the twins' uncle. This applesauce-loving dark knight is the one that hired E'kari to work as the company alchemist--in no small part to do with the potent pain killers she was able to make for him after a fight that nearly ended in his death. He always seems have a joke lined up, even in the most bleak of situations.

: ● '''[[Bennett Cooper]]''' - E'kari's teammate and--since his adoption by Rath and Nyscera Alarone--cousin of sorts. E'kari sees Bennett as the shining future of their free company. While he makes mistakes and has a ways to go before he can truly master any of his arsenal of weapons, E'kari firmly believes this young boy is going to do great things. Could young Master Bennett be a something more than the average fighter...? "Cooper is Super..!" - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[E'vehlke Sohj]]''' - The maternal cousin of E'kari and E'yami. Vehlke is a fearless warrior with a strange accent. As she is a full blood Seeker of the Eft tribe, E'vehlke shares a striking resemblance to the twins' deceased mother.

: ● '''[[Sokhatai Borlaaq]]''' - This huntress is the wife of E'vehlke Sohj. She has a very specific way of talking. E'kari onced picked her brain about adventure and Au'Ra culture. She finds her delightful!

: ● '''[[Reina Sol]]''' - E'kari's half Keeper half Raen sister-in-law. She is the first person from Heartwood that the twins ever met, quickly taking the girls under her wing and giving them a place to stay. It was because of Reina that E'kari met Vektis. E'kari admires Reina as a strong and together person.

: ● '''[[Snowy Sol]]''' - E'kari's full miqo'te sister-in-law. Even before the two were related by marriage, E'kari has had a definite soft spot for this girl-genius in her heart. The two worked together in the clinic for some time, rather closely. In one occasion the two preformed life saving surgery on Vektis. E'kari's only qualm is that she fears this teen might be too relaxed about the dangerous world around her at times--but maybe that's just the anxiety talking.

: ● '''[[Xihvi'ir Valathri]]''' - Xihvi'ir, or 'Ashy' as the others have taken to calling him, is a kindly harp-player that has come into the service of Heartwood. Though E'kari doesn't know of his personal dealings in any intricate regard--other than his past as a gambler--she knows she can trust his character, as he is well loved by Nick. The Keeper has always loaned a helping hand to the company whenever a need arose, for that E'kari finds herself very grateful to her new friend. Though she doesn't know it yet, the two share an unexpected bond in blood.

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#4d0000; font-size:14px; color:#FFFFFF">Friends </div><div style="border:0px solid; padding:8px"> ===

: ● '''[[Sakeru Wakeru]]''' – This unsuspecting looking delivery boy has a dark past under the surface. A time ago, Sakeru divulged a portion of his history to E'kari and a few others. Oddly enough, she ended up trusting him more after learning he was a trained assassin. She was quite sad to see him leave but remembers him fondly. Wherever this lalafell goes two things are a certain: death and dinner. "Did I leave the oven on..?" - Sakeru Wakeru

: ● '''[[Tustin Lafell]]''' - The first moment E'kari saw this lalafell he was being arrested on the free company lawn for the attempted armed robbery. Later when he returned to make his peace with Heartwood the two met and over time became close companions. Tustin's street-savvy, wild and hot-headed demeanor contrasts E'kari's bookish, nervous, awkwardness in a very positive way. This Dunesfolk left Heartwood some time ago to make something of himself out in the world. Since then he has begun studying medicine. He remains, to this day, one of E'kari's most treasured and beloved friends. "I'm not cute! I'm manly as hell!" - Tustin Lafell

: ● '''[[Tynos Riller]]''' - This towering black mage initially greatly frightened E'kari upon their first meeting. Perhaps it was his scar, his serious expression or his sheer size--regardless, she now knows him as a very kind-hearted and family oriented leader. He sacrifices much of himself to keep Heartwood's members safe--and frankly--works too hard. It would be a shock to find him away from the clinic for longer than a month. It's safe to say, E'kari's pharmacy has a special 'Tynos Budget' for the small fortune it takes to keep this misfortune prone Elezen on his feet. "My goodness..! Hurt again, Master Tynos...?" - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[Cioccolato Stella]]''' - Cioccolato, or Lady Cio as E'kari calls her, works as a nurse and aspiring doctor for Heartwood. This charming and kind healer can often be seen sporting pastel colors and traveling around in the company of her Demon Brick, Cenere, which is a close friend of Max. E'kari has always been very fond of this miqo'te since her arrival and is one of the few she trusts to care for Kira and Max in her absence.

: ● '''[[Kaiya Ailbhe]]''' - The librarian, chief of medicine and over-all brains of Heartwood. E'kari admires the patience of this woman but also feels horribly guilty that the actions of her free company have driven Kaiya to take up smoking. Occasionally E'kari will bring Kaiya cinnamon sticks en masse as an attempt to give her something roughly cigarette shaped to hold and suck on. It is unknown if Doctor Ailhbe actually enjoys these or if she is merely humoring E'kari. Hopefully at the very least she is not being driven to smoke those as well...

: ● '''[[Zana Amaro]]''' - An aloof gunslinger and self proclaimed alley-cat. Despite being told not to, E'kari still insists on respectfully referring to this miqo'te as Lady Zana. When this woman is armed and in a foul mood . . . heaven help her target. E'kari has seen Zana rip a man's arm clean off. However Zana does also have a soft side. When E'kari was gravely injured in an attempt on her life, Zana stationed herself in the clinic to watch over her.

: ● '''[[Moralee Relen]]''' - Known to E'kari as "Mordry". This Au'Ra woman is rather complex for many reasons. Regardless E'kari cares greatly about Moralee and Mora in equal measure--although Mordry's "Moralee-half" is more familiar to her. Some time ago Mordry required E'kari's help with a somewhat risky task. This evoked the ire of her usually perpetually cheerful husband. Vektis has yet to forgive Mordry to this day, which fills the Seeker with guilt and remorse. However, because of that mission, E'kari learned how to brew a special and ancient potion she dubbed, "The Draught of the Dreamwalker".

: ● '''[[Neville Synch]]''' - This good natured marksman is the mate of Zana Amaro and the best friend of E'yami Amane. Over the period she has known him, this man has done a lot for E'kari's family which she could never repay. Though she does not know him too well personally she trusts him fully regardless. She always gets a chuckle out of the banter between Neville and Vektis.

: ● '''[[Vahn Quietfury]]''' - A sweet little boy with a curious connection to an elder dragon. E'kari first met the half lalafell on a caravan mission that was attacked. In the absence of his own mother, the Seeker would often look after Vahn when his father was away. One day when Vahn was playing with some of the other boys in the company yard he exhibited dangerous abilities. He and his father were sent away for the potential danger they posed. E'kari still loves Vahn like a son.

: ● '''[[Brandon Stormstrider]]''' - The Hyur father of Vahn Quietfury. E'kari met Brandon a short time after Vahn. The two became close friends, as the miqo'te was one of the few Heartwood members Brandon trusted. She would often do simple favors for the father and son to make their lives easier such as cleaning or bringing home pineapples. Upon their leaving to a new safehaven the Seeker found herself deeply saddend, however Brandon still sneaks over to the company on occasion. Brandon has placed E'kari under the protection of his men known only as "The Rogues".

: ● '''[[Enkhjargal Dalamiq]]''' - This stoic summoner is actually E'kari's master. He took her under his wing when she first arrived to Heartwood and had to terrorize her into being able to use her magic for anything beyond healing. His methods worked and looking back, E'kari owes him all of the strength she possesses now. Beyond that, she thinks he is a wonderful person who has natural ability with children. Who knew!

: ● '''[[Camille Everardi]]''' - Camille is Enkhjargal Dalamiq's wife and a talented mage, among many other things. E'kari has seen Camille fight in more than one way in the past with spars. She found this woman to be a strong female rolemodel for her in the past when she was just learning to fight--and still looks up to her to this day. E'kari couldn't be happier that her master and friend found happiness in each other's company.

: ● '''[[Chokho Viqqoh]]''' - A fierce, fiery and loyal amnesiac-Keeper who recently joined Heartwood. Since her arrival, Chokho and E'kari have become fast friends; bonding over their shared love of martial arts and string instruments. Though the two differ greatly in temperament and personality they have a shared respect for one another.

: ● '''[[Narumi Kotokaze]]''' - More commonly referred to as "Kota". E'kari met this Maelstrom affiliated bounty hunter on the road when she was set upon by highwaymen--which Kota easily dispatched. Since then the Raen has been promoted to first lieutenant of the Storm-guard and assigned to work as the handler of the former pirate Skyfwyb. The officer comissions her medicine from E'kari's "Alchemist's Alley". 

:● '''[[Nevrynn Alarone]]''' - While E'kari initially mistrusted the Seeker for his roguish persona and wanderlust, in resent months she has come to warm up to her sister's mate. Though she may not know him as well as she might like, he makes her sister happy. And the affection between the two are plain to see.

: ● '''[[Jake Jakkya]]''' - A red-lenses wearing void-mage who has spent a great deal of his life as a pit fighter. This spellsword is particularly close to E'kari's adopted mother, Nack, which makes him a brother of sorts. E'kari sorely wishes he would be less devil-may-care in demeanor at times, or at least care a bit more about his own life. She's always pleased when he pops up unharmed now and again. This former criminal has been blacklisted from Heartwood for his criminal debts to the Syndicate--though he has since paid them back in full, becoming an ally to the group.

: ● '''[[Ash Valken]]''' - The tall, brooding brother of Nyscera who has a strong dislike for Rath. E'kari met this former bandit spying on her a few times. Eventually the two had a sit-down conversation and became close--which was a new thing for the Au'Ra. E'kari taught Ash how to play a grasswhistle, fixed his broken hearing-aid and engaged in a playful spar. Somehow, in one way or another, most of their interactions end in awkward sexual-tension. The day Ash left Heartwood, E'kari gave him a necklace made from a strap of her doctor's bag to remember her by and encouraged him to follow his dreams.

: ● '''[[Akiyuki Okuma]]''' - The large, quiet, but overall pleasant husband of Cio who has joined Heartwood since his marriage to the plucky, pastel nursemaid. This reserved Au'Ra is a welcome addition to the family.

: ● '''[[Kenoni Eien’no]]''' - The betrothed of her friend Moralee. A stern and stoic acquaintance but never the less, E'kari admires his loyalty and commitment to Mordry. She hopes the two will have a wonderful life together with their child.

: ● '''[[J'edite Shedai]]''' - A fellow enthusiast of martial arts that spends most of her time roaming Thanalan seeking glory for the Jackal tribe. The two have had run-ins here and there as J'edite was on hunts and once sparred under the Sultan tree. The Seekers employ very different styles of their own making: while E'kari fights with her heavy handed "Golem Step" ideal for doing battle with armed and armored foes; J'edite uses fast kicks transitioning into fluid jabs in her "Fire Dancer" style that proves to be the bane of slower opponents. As it stands the two are friendly rivals.

: ● '''[[Alpon Adpon]]''' - The Pink Punisher! E'kari has met this "battle-chef" in passing more than once. The lalafell's skill in combat seems to rival his culinary prowess.

: ● '''[[Namaka Ebisu]]''' - A strange and sweet water-sprite who lives in a fountain. You want tree slugs? Because this is how you get tree slugs.

: ● '''[[Alistar Stormfist]]''' - Found by Heartwood on the road to Little Ala Mhigo, this former Garlean slave was near death and wearing a magitek collar. With no where else to go and no life to return to, this gentle giant returned with the caravan to the Heartwood Homestead.

: ● '''[[Lucinda Kovix]]''' - This kindly and capable, Ishgardian drifter met Doctor Sol as she was returning from conversing with the Everschade and her husband's chocobo ran off. Lucinda and E'kari worked together to catch the bird and got to talking about Lucy's need for work and also to find her missing brother. The Miqo'te has since come to stay at Heartwood which has overjoyed E'kari.

: ● '''[[L'nela Varya]]''' - A one-eyed woman who really enjoys taking a bite out of life! In all seriousness--L'nela is a chipper and quirky person. A little emotional at times, but rightfully so; as her recent years have been filled with trauma. Both physical and emotional. Careful, she likes to nibble!
 

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#4d0000;font-size:14px;color:#FFFFFF;">Disliked</div><div style="border:0px solid; padding:8px">===

:● '''[[Tharl Oom Khash - NPC]]''' - A being made of corruption who takes his name from his place of creation. While to most guardians of the Shroud he would be a natural enemy anyway--this thing has taken a special and terrible shine to tormenting E'kari and all of Heartwood. His track record of terrible deeds is staggering and body count ever on the rise. His most memorable in E'kari's mind were her children, Sagu'a and Cize. The vengeful mother aided in his demise by pummeling him with special stones--from Tynos and Kaiya--she formed into barbaric gauntlets.


:● '''[[The Pumpking - NPC]]''' - This strange and otherwordly being was initially just an unsettling presence that occasionally appeared in the Heartwood halls offering bargains for steep moral prices. It was not until this squash-headed man manipulated Tustin Lafell into a contract that he became E'kari's enemy. The Seeker used excessive force against the entitiy, beating him into a puddle of black ooze. He has since returned to haunt Heartwood, though has stifled a sum of E'kari's animosity toward him by fixing her carbuncle's shattered gem and helping finish off Khash for good.

:● '''[[Skyfwyb Aergankawyn]]''' - E'kari was not fond of this woman from the start. The monsterous Seawolf had committed crimes against Heartwood on numerous occasions. E'kari was glad to hear of her sting and arrest by the Maelstrom. In the time that has followed, however, the curt and belligerent captain seems to have changed her ways to some extent. E'kari now views her slightly more favorably after having witnessed Skyfwyb's capacity to care genuinely for another person. It was also by the aid of this former pirate that the Solsong household was able to cross the sea to the east. As it stands now they are allies.

== <div style="padding:10px 15px; background:#4d0000; font-size:20px; color:#ffffff">'''Character Trivia'''</div>==
 
:■ E'kari refers to people as 'master' or 'lady' because as a young newcomer to Gridania she was hazed by the local youths told that it was how non-tribal people spoke to one another. Excited to make 'friends' the Seeker picked this up almost immediately. It was not until this was an ingrained habit that she learned it was all a ruse for E'kari to make a fool of herself every time she spoke.
:■ Despite the skill not coming up particularly often, E'kari is adept at Thavnarian belly-dancing. This and many similar styles of celebratory dance were used among she and her kin in their tribal lands; though this is actually not their people's only connection to the middle east. The dress style, use of Alchemy and herbal medicines, even their taste in food has been greatly influenced by trade with Thavnaire, much like many others who reside in Thanalan.
:■ Due to E'kari's heavy aspection to Earth she is notoriously difficult to knock off her feet and has immense stamina; adversely, she is not as quick as she'd like to be and swimming in deep water takes a significant amount of energy.
:■ Though most are unaware--or attribute some of her mannerisms to merely being quirky--E'kari actually suffers from high functioning autism. Social queues tend to be her biggest hurdle, along with focusing on the big picture of tasks as opposed to minuet details, and sorting out painful emotions.

<div>
=== '''♦ General''' ===
<hr>
 
: (This page has recently undergone a major rework! Check it out if you want to know what has changed!)
: This overly polite and apologetic medicine-woman can often be found scuttling about making deliveries for her shop. Due to her diligent work, E'kari's Alchemist Alley has become one of the Alchemist Guild's favored subsidiaries and is frequently called upon to do business as a representative of their organization. <div>
 



=== '''♦ Appearance''' ===
<hr>
 

: E'kari is a Seeker/Keeper half-breed who carries some physical traits from her mother and father. Her eyes are narrow slit-pupils, skin pale but capable of bronzing in the sun like a Seeker; though her fur is fluffy and tail is long like a Keeper.

: This miqo'te has a snow-print mane--white with undertones if black and grey--with pale blue eyes and bangle-stripes that frame her face.

: In true mage form--E'kari can usually be found in little to no armor, even when going into battle. It slows her down in preforming martial arts and also disrupts her casting to wear anything too heavy. Instead she prefers comfortable robes or her labcoat. <div>
 



=== '''♦ History ''' ===
<hr>
 
: The parentage of E'yami and E'kari is a taboo matter. One that the Nunh of the Eft ordered upon the strictest of penalty, never to be spoken of. While their mother--E'yari--was a Seeker and one of the designated breeding females to the Nunh; their father--Sagu'a--was actually a roving Keeper who had long since left behind a subservient life with his maternal-family in the Shroud to be a traveling poet, minstrel and anthropologist. The two Miqo'te met when Sagu'a and his scholarly lalafell companion, Anabel Nack, sought a place to rest during their travels. The tribe apprehensively took the researchers in as temporary guests. In that time Sagu'a and E'yari began a secret relationship.

:When it came to light that the two had been together Sagu'a was put to death, and his body unceremoniously left to rot in the heat of the desert just outside of their territory.

: In a double blow, not only was E'yari stricken with grief, but she also discovered she was pregnant. Due to a combination of her melancholy of her lost love, the despair at what her life would be at the whims of her Nunh and complications during the birthing process--E'yari died shortly after her second kit was delivered. The last words she managed to speak before slipping away were the names of her children. Both Doman, in honor of their father who fancied the culture. Yami, meaning dark, and Hikari meaning light--though the midwives were unfamiliar with the tongue, mistaking it simply for /E/kari.

: Upon the twins' birth into the Eft--as per tradition--the clan made a ceremonial offering of their namesake to Azeyma that would determine their role in the tribe. When the flesh was melted from the bones,their appointed wise-woman had determined E'kari was to be the next shaman while E'yami's bones were an augury that she was preordained to be a great warrior.

: The Nunh was pleased by the news and demanded celebration, but found that the females of the tribe were not nearly as thrilled. Many believed that the pale-faced kits with hair of black and white were cursed; killing their mother with ill-omen. Nack took this opportunity to offer her services in raising her friends' children and providing them with education.

:The lalafell's silver tongue managed to coerce the Nunh to allow this arrangement--given he had few other options. The three were put up in a yurt close to the Nunh's own home to keep an eye on the foreigner.

: In the years that proceeded their youth, the twins were given a proper education by the professor--in between being stolen away to be taught their duties to the Eft. While Yami practiced fighting the other tribal youths, Kari was introduced to herbal medicine, burial rites and how to divinate the future with the practice of bone reading.

: Despite the twins' diligent efforts to hone their skills and fulfill thier tribal roles, they sorely lacked any sort of companionship from the other children of the Eft--having learned from their mother's to be wary of the pale-faced Seekers. Because of this, Nack took it upon herself to try and teach the girls the basic art of carbuncle summoning and passed her own Topaz and Emerald gems down to each of them.

: Demure and plagued with anxiety, E'kari was given Nicholas--Nack's Emerald carbuncle--as a therapy animal; while E'yami received Whackara--a Topaz companion who had enough spunk and energy to keep up with her. Both arcanist-pets has served the Professor faithfully since her own youth and passed without incident into the hands of their new masters.

: As the twins neared their teenage years, an odd habit of E'kari's came to light. She could often be found speaking to the streams, winds and rock-faces in the territory which the tribe found very suspicious. Some of the more superstitious members of the tribe were convinced the was speaking to the dead; the Nunh believed this was some gift from the Warden, proving his right to rule was divine.

: Knowing better than to believe any of that, Nack speculated that this was a hereditary trait, passed down from Sagu'a, who was a Hearer. Once more the professor went to the Nunh and convinced him that he should allow her to take the twins to train abroad in Gridania that they might return more powerful and capable of serving him. He agreed to the idea and within a fortnight Nack brought the girls to the Shroud.

: Once in Gridania, E'kari joined the Conjurer's Guild as a student while E'yami sought training in both lance and bow.

: Though eager to make new friends the Seeker found this was easier said than done. The high populous of Hyur and Elezen looked condescendingly upon the tribal girls. It was not out of the ordinary for the more crude classmates to inquire if her parents were cousins. This trouble fitting in was compounded by the fact she didn't seem to learn at the same rate as everyone else. E'kari would often focus on small details of things, so much so that she could not intake an entire lesson. A classroom setting did her little credit, but during her free moments she would visit the Everschade and commune with the Elementals.

: On one such visit, a strong wind blew a small branch down from the great tree; which, E'kari took and mended with magic that it might be used as a crook.

: Due to her natural affinity for the forest and her difficulty with conventional methods of learning she was taken as a personal apprentice to Master E-Sumi-Yan, a patient Padjal who specialized in the guidance of Hearers. Discovering the trick seemed to be hands-on learning, he took every opportunity to have the Seeker accompany him while he worked. E'kari improved quickly under his tutelage, able to stand as a conjurer in her own right.

: Near the end of the girl's time abroad, the Seventh Umbral Calamity struck. With her guild called to act as medics on the field, the twins soon found themselves on the heels of disaster for the duration of the event. E'kari and her classmates followed the guildmasters into the chaos, assisting those who had been wounded or fallen. E'yami acted as E'kari's personal guard as she preformed field surgeries and magical healing. The two witnessed death up close on more than one occasion, finding themselves changed by the end of it all.

: After all was said and done, the girls' respective masters deemed them both students no longer. And while this was a sweet taste, it was also made bitter by the memories of carnage that now haunted them both.

: The twins returned to their desert territory as heroines who represented their tribe with valor and courage. The Nunh held festivities long into the night.It seemed as though they'd finally been accepted, but neither seemed particularly content with staying within the territory any more--not after all they had been through. Together E'yami and E'kari traveled to the Shrine of the Warden, offering an Eft in a pyre for guidance. When the flesh had melted from the bones, Azeyma's will bid they must go--for they had more to do out in the world. E'kari shared this edict with their people and with heavy hearts, they left again to find and fulfill their duties elsewhere until the time the Warden calls for them to return.

=== '''♦ Behavior ''' ===

 

: E'kari has a hard time learning in a conventional sense often requires an exceedingly patient teacher in order to have any real success. However once she does learn something--or is preforming a task she excels in--she is hard-pressed to be outshined.

: While still generally being good natured and apologetic, in combat E'kari is capable of being a formidable opponent. Being a conjurer she will often take the role of a healer, but her connection to the Elementals has also allowed to take a unique approach to martial arts. The Seeker will often harden a stone skin over her hands and feet while delivering blows, or using gales of wind to enhance her movement speed. She has named her self-made fighting style, "The Golem Step" which emphasizes momentum and fluidity. (Much of her techniques in form are inspired by real world Zui Quan)

: Despite her obvious shortcomings, E'kari is a very hopeful person and goes into every situation with optimism for success, even if she has failed at the task a hundred times before. Sometimes it's the hundred and first try that brings success.

: ● '''[[E'yami Amane]]''' - E'kari's protective fraternal twin sister, older by 7 minutes. E'yami has always been a strong source of strength, comfort and adventure as the two have grown. Though she has a very tomboyish and wears tough outer shell, E'kari knows that her sister is actually very caring and sensitive--always putting the needs of others before herself; and that is what makes her E'kari's hero.

: 💑 '''[[Vektis Sol]]''' - E'kari's boisterous, free-spirited and loveable husband. When they first met she admired his self confidence--often shyly observing him kicking down doors to shout his own name at people. There are few in the world who can raise E'kari's spirits like Vektis can. The two became close friends and then a couple shortly there after. Though many people see his behavior as a nuisance, E'kari celebrates her husband's off-beat mannerisms--unless of course they prove to be dangerous. She loves him to the end of the world and back. The two are married and have two young children together. "Yes, you have been informed correctly. Vektis is, indeed, the bestest." - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[E'kira Sol]]''' - The infant daughter of Vektis and E'kari, also commonly referred to as Kira. This tiny mixed breed of Keeper and Seeker has been though much hardship in her short life. E'kira is the sole survivor of a litter of three, making Vektis and E'kari very protective of her. Regardless of whatever situation she's in, E'kira tends to cry very little. Recently she'd begun learning to walk and talk. Already she has shown the propensity to always be making noise of some sort, just like her father.

: ● '''[[Maxwell Sol]]''' - Born to the Eft tribe--to the name E'rhaja Tia--and orphaned after his sire was defeated and overthrown by another male. E'kari picked up the kitten; she felt a kinship with him for their similar origins. Upon his arrival at Heartwood to the Sol family he was renamed by Vektis and E'kari so he might grow up feeling like he belonged. Now three cycles old, Max is shy, polite and thoughtful. Especially fond of tinkering with small shiny objects and collecting beads, rocks and shells. He has an exceptionally bright mind for a boy his age.

: ● '''[[Nicholas Nack- NPC]]''' - The ever-present summoned companion of E'kari. This carbuncle has been with E'kari throughout the Seeker's entire life as a sort of therapy animal, helping to keep her anxiety in check. With a gem layered with complex geometries: Anabel Nack made it so he and his sister creation--Whackara--could form memories; and with that, personalities. Nick is generally gentle and quiet, with a keen ability to sense people's emotional needs. As such, he tends to gravitate to people whom he suspects need comfort. Nick is aware of his own artificial intellegence and often grapples with his place in the world, as well as the loneliness that comes from his own existence. "Ploo!" - Nick

: ● '''[[Anabel Nack]]''' - Author, scientist, surgeon and parent. This quirky and frightening alchemist is the adopted mother of E'yami and E'kari. Nanabel Nabel by birth, she almost always goes by her pen-name "A.B. 'Nack'". Though her child rearing methods were always questionable at best, the most indisputable fact of it all is that Nack loves both of her girls very much. She is not above employing dark methods to ensure this mad-scientist keeps her loved ones safe. This lalafell's haunting laughter was picked up by E'kari as she was growing up. "Kuhuhuh....." - Anabel Nack

: ● '''[[Conrad Steelsong]]''' - This initially frighteningly large Ala Mhigan is actually the godparent of E'kari and Vektis' young daughter, E'kira. The four of them, as well as No'Ulla Khilik, all take up residence in the same house in the Mist. Conrad has obviously weathered the storm of many conflicts that have hardened his exterior. Despite his gruff demeanor, E'kari finds him to be a wonderful person and the closest thing to a father she's ever known.

: ● '''[[No'Ulla Khilik]]''' - The Ala Mhigan-weaver wife of Conrad Steelsong. She has recently returned from apprenticing in Ishgard to live with the Solsong household. E'kari finds her to be a skilled craftswoman and never tires of hearing about Ulla's special technique of Spell-Weaving. Ulla is a welcome addition to the family--E'kari just hopes that Vektis doesn't scare their new friend off with nonsensical antics.

: ● '''[[Nyscera Alarone]]''' - This mistress of shadowy death is a close friend of the twins' adopted mother. She is considered an aunt to E'kari and E'yami. Early on in E'kari stay at Heartwood, the dragon-riding assassin took E'kari, Bennett and Snowy in as pupils for physical and mental training. While it was grueling and at times crushing, E'kari owes her martial arts ability solely to these lessons. Nyscera taught E'kari the value of teamwork and also her how to be unphased by negative elements in her life.

: ● '''[[Rath Alarone]]''' - Nyscera's aloof husband--and by proxy--the twins' uncle. This applesauce-loving dark knight is the one that hired E'kari to work as the company alchemist--in no small part to do with the potent pain killers she was able to make for him after a fight that nearly ended in his death. He always seems have a joke lined up, even in the most bleak of situations.

: ● '''[[Bennett Cooper]]''' - E'kari's teammate and--since his adoption by Rath and Nyscera Alarone--cousin of sorts. E'kari sees Bennett as the shining future of their free company. While he makes mistakes and has a ways to go before he can truly master any of his arsenal of weapons, E'kari firmly believes this young boy is going to do great things. Could young Master Bennett be a something more than the average fighter...? "Cooper is Super..!" - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[E'vehlke Sohj]]''' - The maternal cousin of E'kari and E'yami. Vehlke is a fearless warrior with a strange accent. As she is a full blood Seeker of the Eft tribe, E'vehlke shares a striking resemblance to the twins' deceased mother.

: ● '''[[Sokhatai Borlaaq]]''' - This huntress is the wife of E'vehlke Sohj. She has a very specific way of talking. E'kari onced picked her brain about adventure and Au'Ra culture. She finds her delightful!

: ● '''[[Reina Sol]]''' - E'kari's half Keeper half Raen sister-in-law. She is the first person from Heartwood that the twins ever met, quickly taking the girls under her wing and giving them a place to stay. It was because of Reina that E'kari met Vektis. E'kari admires Reina as a strong and together person.

: ● '''[[Snowy Sol]]''' - E'kari's full miqo'te sister-in-law. Even before the two were related by marriage, E'kari has had a definite soft spot for this girl-genius in her heart. The two worked together in the clinic for some time, rather closely. In one occasion the two preformed life saving surgery on Vektis. E'kari's only qualm is that she fears this teen might be too relaxed about the dangerous world around her at times--but maybe that's just the anxiety talking.

: ● '''[[Xihvi'ir Valathri]]''' - Xihvi'ir, or 'Ashy' as the others have taken to calling him, is a kindly harp-player that has come into the service of Heartwood. Though E'kari doesn't know of his personal dealings in any intricate regard--other than his past as a gambler--she knows she can trust his character, as he is well loved by Nick. The Keeper has always loaned a helping hand to the company whenever a need arose, for that E'kari finds herself very grateful to her new friend. Though she doesn't know it yet, the two share an unexpected bond in blood.

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#4d0000; font-size:14px; color:#FFFFFF">Friends </div><div style="border:0px solid; padding:8px"> ===

: ● '''[[Sakeru Wakeru]]''' – This unsuspecting looking delivery boy has a dark past under the surface. A time ago, Sakeru divulged a portion of his history to E'kari and a few others. Oddly enough, she ended up trusting him more after learning he was a trained assassin. She was quite sad to see him leave but remembers him fondly. Wherever this lalafell goes two things are a certain: death and dinner. "Did I leave the oven on..?" - Sakeru Wakeru

: ● '''[[Tustin Lafell]]''' - The first moment E'kari saw this lalafell he was being arrested on the free company lawn for the attempted armed robbery. Later when he returned to make his peace with Heartwood the two met and over time became close companions. Tustin's street-savvy, wild and hot-headed demeanor contrasts E'kari's bookish, nervous, awkwardness in a very positive way. This Dunesfolk left Heartwood some time ago to make something of himself out in the world. Since then he has begun studying medicine. He remains, to this day, one of E'kari's most treasured and beloved friends. "I'm not cute! I'm manly as hell!" - Tustin Lafell

: ● '''[[Tynos Riller]]''' - This towering black mage initially greatly frightened E'kari upon their first meeting. Perhaps it was his scar, his serious expression or his sheer size--regardless, she now knows him as a very kind-hearted and family oriented leader. He sacrifices much of himself to keep Heartwood's members safe--and frankly--works too hard. It would be a shock to find him away from the clinic for longer than a month. It's safe to say, E'kari's pharmacy has a special 'Tynos Budget' for the small fortune it takes to keep this misfortune prone Elezen on his feet. "My goodness..! Hurt again, Master Tynos...?" - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[Cioccolato Stella]]''' - Cioccolato, or Lady Cio as E'kari calls her, works as a nurse and aspiring doctor for Heartwood. This charming and kind healer can often be seen sporting pastel colors and traveling around in the company of her Demon Brick, Cenere, which is a close friend of Max. E'kari has always been very fond of this miqo'te since her arrival and is one of the few she trusts to care for Kira and Max in her absence.

: ● '''[[Kaiya Ailbhe]]''' - The librarian, chief of medicine and over-all brains of Heartwood. E'kari admires the patience of this woman but also feels horribly guilty that the actions of her free company have driven Kaiya to take up smoking. Occasionally E'kari will bring Kaiya cinnamon sticks en masse as an attempt to give her something roughly cigarette shaped to hold and suck on. It is unknown if Doctor Ailhbe actually enjoys these or if she is merely humoring E'kari. Hopefully at the very least she is not being driven to smoke those as well...

: ● '''[[Zana Amaro]]''' - An aloof gunslinger and self proclaimed alley-cat. Despite being told not to, E'kari still insists on respectfully referring to this miqo'te as Lady Zana. When this woman is armed and in a foul mood . . . heaven help her target. E'kari has seen Zana rip a man's arm clean off. However Zana does also have a soft side. When E'kari was gravely injured in an attempt on her life, Zana stationed herself in the clinic to watch over her.

: ● '''[[Moralee Relen]]''' - Known to E'kari as "Mordry". This Au'Ra woman is rather complex for many reasons. Regardless E'kari cares greatly about Moralee and Mora in equal measure--although Mordry's "Moralee-half" is more familiar to her. Some time ago Mordry required E'kari's help with a somewhat risky task. This evoked the ire of her usually perpetually cheerful husband. Vektis has yet to forgive Mordry to this day, which fills the Seeker with guilt and remorse. However, because of that mission, E'kari learned how to brew a special and ancient potion she dubbed, "The Draught of the Dreamwalker".

: ● '''[[Neville Synch]]''' - This good natured marksman is the mate of Zana Amaro and the best friend of E'yami Amane. Over the period she has known him, this man has done a lot for E'kari's family which she could never repay. Though she does not know him too well personally she trusts him fully regardless. She always gets a chuckle out of the banter between Neville and Vektis.

: ● '''[[Vahn Quietfury]]''' - A sweet little boy with a curious connection to an elder dragon. E'kari first met the half lalafell on a caravan mission that was attacked. In the absence of his own mother, the Seeker would often look after Vahn when his father was away. One day when Vahn was playing with some of the other boys in the company yard he exhibited dangerous abilities. He and his father were sent away for the potential danger they posed. E'kari still loves Vahn like a son.

: ● '''[[Brandon Stormstrider]]''' - The Hyur father of Vahn Quietfury. E'kari met Brandon a short time after Vahn. The two became close friends, as the miqo'te was one of the few Heartwood members Brandon trusted. She would often do simple favors for the father and son to make their lives easier such as cleaning or bringing home pineapples. Upon their leaving to a new safehaven the Seeker found herself deeply saddend, however Brandon still sneaks over to the company on occasion. Brandon has placed E'kari under the protection of his men known only as "The Rogues".

: ● '''[[Enkhjargal Dalamiq]]''' - This stoic summoner is actually E'kari's master. He took her under his wing when she first arrived to Heartwood and had to terrorize her into being able to use her magic for anything beyond healing. His methods worked and looking back, E'kari owes him all of the strength she possesses now. Beyond that, she thinks he is a wonderful person who has natural ability with children. Who knew!

: ● '''[[Camille Everardi]]''' - Camille is Enkhjargal Dalamiq's wife and a talented mage, among many other things. E'kari has seen Camille fight in more than one way in the past with spars. She found this woman to be a strong female rolemodel for her in the past when she was just learning to fight--and still looks up to her to this day. E'kari couldn't be happier that her master and friend found happiness in each other's company.

: ● '''[[Chokho Viqqoh]]''' - A fierce, fiery and loyal amnesiac-Keeper who recently joined Heartwood. Since her arrival, Chokho and E'kari have become fast friends; bonding over their shared love of martial arts and string instruments. Though the two differ greatly in temperament and personality they have a shared respect for one another.

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#4d0000;font-size:14px;color:#FFFFFF;">Acquaintances</div><div style="border:0px solid; padding:8px">===

: ● '''[[Narumi Kotokaze]]''' - More commonly referred to as "Kota". E'kari met this Maelstrom affiliated bounty hunter on the road when she was set upon by highwaymen--which Kota easily dispatched. Since then the Raen has been promoted to first lieutenant of the Storm-guard and assigned to work as the handler of the former pirate Skyfwyb. The officer comissions her medicine from E'kari's "Alchemist's Alley". 

:● '''[[Nevrynn Alarone]]''' - While E'kari initially mistrusted the Seeker for his roguish persona and wanderlust, in resent months she has come to warm up to her sister's mate. Though she may not know him as well as she might like, he makes her sister happy. And the affection between the two are plain to see.

: ● '''[[Jake Jakkya]]''' - A red-lenses wearing void-mage who has spent a great deal of his life as a pit fighter. This spellsword is particularly close to E'kari's adopted mother, Nack, which makes him a brother of sorts. E'kari sorely wishes he would be less devil-may-care in demeanor at times, or at least care a bit more about his own life. She's always pleased when he pops up unharmed now and again. This former criminal has been blacklisted from Heartwood for his criminal debts to the Syndicate--though he has since paid them back in full, becoming an ally to the group.

: ● '''[[Ash Valken]]''' - The tall, brooding brother of Nyscera who has a strong dislike for Rath. E'kari met this former bandit spying on her a few times. Eventually the two had a sit-down conversation and became close--which was a new thing for the Au'Ra. E'kari taught Ash how to play a grasswhistle, fixed his broken hearing-aid and engaged in a playful spar. Somehow, in one way or another, most of their interactions end in awkward sexual-tension. The day Ash left Heartwood, E'kari gave him a necklace made from a strap of her doctor's bag to remember her by and encouraged him to follow his dreams.

: ● '''[[Akiyuki Okuma]]''' - The large, quiet, but overall pleasant husband of Cio who has joined Heartwood since his marriage to the plucky, pastel nursemaid. This reserved Au'Ra is a welcome addition to the family.

: ● '''[[Kenoni Eien’no]]''' - The betrothed of her friend Moralee. A stern and stoic acquaintance but never the less, E'kari admires his loyalty and commitment to Mordry. She hopes the two will have a wonderful life together with their child.

: ● '''[[J'edite Shedai]]''' - A fellow enthusiast of martial arts that spends most of her time roaming Thanalan seeking glory for the Jackal tribe. The two have had run-ins here and there as J'edite was on hunts and once sparred under the Sultan tree. The Seekers employ very different styles of their own making: while E'kari fights with her heavy handed "Golem Step" ideal for doing battle with armed and armored foes; J'edite uses fast kicks transitioning into fluid jabs in her "Fire Dancer" style that proves to be the bane of slower opponents. As it stands the two are friendly rivals.

: ● '''[[Alpon Adpon]]''' - The Pink Punisher! E'kari has met this "battle-chef" in passing more than once. The lalafell's skill in combat seems to rival his culinary prowess.

: ● '''[[Namaka Ebisu]]''' - A strange and sweet water-sprite who lives in a fountain. You want tree slugs? Because this is how you get tree slugs.

: ● '''[[Alistar Stormfist]]''' - Found by Heartwood on the road to Little Ala Mhigo, this former Garlean slave was near death and wearing a magitek collar. With no where else to go and no life to return to, this gentle giant returned with the caravan to the Heartwood Homestead.

: ● '''[[Lucinda Kovix]]''' - This kindly and capable, Ishgardian drifter met Doctor Sol as she was returning from conversing with the Everschade and her husband's chocobo ran off. Lucinda and E'kari worked together to catch the bird and got to talking about Lucy's need for work and also to find her missing brother. The Miqo'te has since come to stay at Heartwood which has overjoyed E'kari.

: ● '''[[L'nela Varya]]''' - A one-eyed woman who really enjoys taking a bite out of life! In all seriousness--L'nela is a chipper and quirky person. A little emotional at times, but rightfully so; as her recent years have been filled with trauma. Both physical and emotional. Careful, she likes to nibble!
 

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#4d0000;font-size:14px;color:#FFFFFF;">Disliked</div><div style="border:0px solid; padding:8px">===

:● '''[[Tharl Oom Khash - NPC]]''' - A being made of corruption who takes his name from his place of creation. While to most guardians of the Shroud he would be a natural enemy anyway--this thing has taken a special and terrible shine to tormenting E'kari and all of Heartwood. His track record of terrible deeds is staggering and body count ever on the rise. His most memorable in E'kari's mind were her children, Sagu'a and Cize. The vengeful mother aided in his demise by pummeling him with special stones--from Tynos and Kaiya--she formed into barbaric gauntlets.


:● '''[[The Pumpking - NPC]]''' - This strange and otherwordly being was initially just an unsettling presence that occasionally appeared in the Heartwood halls offering bargains for steep moral prices. It was not until this squash-headed man manipulated Tustin Lafell into a contract that he became E'kari's enemy. The Seeker used excessive force against the entitiy, beating him into a puddle of black ooze. He has since returned to haunt Heartwood, though has stifled a sum of E'kari's animosity toward him by fixing her carbuncle's shattered gem and helping finish off Khash for good.

:● '''[[Skyfwyb Aergankawyn]]''' - E'kari was not fond of this woman from the start. The monsterous Seawolf had committed crimes against Heartwood on numerous occasions. E'kari was glad to hear of her sting and arrest by the Maelstrom. In the time that has followed, however, the curt and belligerent captain seems to have changed her ways to some extent. E'kari now views her slightly more favorably after having witnessed Skyfwyb's capacity to care genuinely for another person. It was also by the aid of this former pirate that the Solsong household was able to cross the sea to the east. As it stands now they are allies.

== <div style="padding:10px 15px; background:#4d0000; font-size:20px; color:#ffffff">'''Character Trivia'''</div>==
 
:■ E'kari refers to people as 'master' or 'lady' because as a young newcomer to Gridania she was hazed by the local youths told that it was how non-tribal people spoke to one another. Excited to make 'friends' the Seeker picked this up almost immediately. It was not until this was an ingrained habit that she learned it was all a ruse for E'kari to make a fool of herself every time she spoke.
:■ Despite the skill not coming up particularly often, E'kari is adept at Thavnarian belly-dancing. This and many similar styles of celebratory dance were used among she and her kin in their tribal lands; though this is actually not their people's only connection to the middle east. The dress style, use of Alchemy and herbal medicines, even their taste in food has been greatly influenced by trade with Thavnaire, much like many others who reside in Thanalan.
:■ Due to E'kari's heavy aspection to Earth she is notoriously difficult to knock off her feet and has immense stamina; adversely, she is not as quick as she'd like to be and swimming in deep water takes a significant amount of energy.
:■ Though most are unaware--or attribute some of her mannerisms to merely being quirky--E'kari actually suffers from high functioning autism. Social queues tend to be her biggest hurdle, along with focusing on the big picture of tasks as opposed to minuet details, and sorting out painful emotions.

<div>
=== '''♦ General''' ===
<hr>
 
: (This page has recently undergone a major rework! Check it out if you want to know what has changed!)
: This overly polite and apologetic medicine-woman can often be found scuttling about making deliveries for her shop. Due to her diligent work, E'kari's Alchemist Alley has become one of the Alchemist Guild's favored subsidiaries and is frequently called upon to do business in Little Ala Mhigo as a representative of their organization. <div>
 



=== '''♦ Appearance''' ===
<hr>
 

: E'kari is a Seeker/Keeper half-breed who carries some physical traits from her mother and father. Her eyes are narrow slit-pupils, skin pale but capable of bronzing in the sun like a Seeker; though her fur is fluffy and tail is long like a Keeper.

: This miqo'te has a snow-print mane--white with undertones if black and grey--with pale blue eyes and bangle-stripes that frame her face.

: In true mage form--E'kari can usually be found in little to no armor, even when going into battle. It slows her down in preforming martial arts and also disrupts her casting to wear anything too heavy. Instead she prefers comfortable robes or her labcoat. <div>
 



=== '''♦ History ''' ===
<hr>
 
: The parentage of E'yami and E'kari is a taboo matter. One that the Nunh of the Eft ordered upon the strictest of penalty, never to be spoken of. While their mother--E'yari--was a Seeker and one of the designated breeding females to the Nunh; their father--Sagu'a--was actually a roving Keeper who had long since left behind a subservient life with his maternal-family in the Shroud to be a traveling poet, minstrel and anthropologist. The two Miqo'te met when Sagu'a and his scholarly lalafell companion, Anabel Nack, sought a place to rest during their travels. The tribe apprehensively took the researchers in as temporary guests. In that time Sagu'a and E'yari began a secret relationship.

:When it came to light that the two had been together Sagu'a was put to death, and his body unceremoniously left to rot in the heat of the desert just outside of their territory.

: In a double blow, not only was E'yari stricken with grief, but she also discovered she was pregnant. Due to a combination of her melancholy of her lost love, the despair at what her life would be at the whims of her Nunh and complications during the birthing process--E'yari died shortly after her second kit was delivered. The last words she managed to speak before slipping away were the names of her children. Both Doman, in honor of their father who fancied the culture. Yami, meaning dark, and Hikari meaning light--though the midwives were unfamiliar with the tongue, mistaking it simply for /E/kari.

: Upon the twins' birth into the Eft--as per tradition--the clan made a ceremonial offering of their namesake to Azeyma that would determine their role in the tribe. When the flesh was melted from the bones,their appointed wise-woman had determined E'kari was to be the next shaman while E'yami's bones were an augury that she was preordained to be a great warrior.

: The Nunh was pleased by the news and demanded celebration, but found that the females of the tribe were not nearly as thrilled. Many believed that the pale-faced kits with hair of black and white were cursed; killing their mother with ill-omen. Nack took this opportunity to offer her services in raising her friends' children and providing them with education.

:The lalafell's silver tongue managed to coerce the Nunh to allow this arrangement--given he had few other options. The three were put up in a yurt close to the Nunh's own home to keep an eye on the foreigner.

: In the years that proceeded their youth, the twins were given a proper education by the professor--in between being stolen away to be taught their duties to the Eft. While Yami practiced fighting the other tribal youths, Kari was introduced to herbal medicine, burial rites and how to divinate the future with the practice of bone reading.

: Despite the twins' diligent efforts to hone their skills and fulfill thier tribal roles, they sorely lacked any sort of companionship from the other children of the Eft--having learned from their mother's to be wary of the pale-faced Seekers. Because of this, Nack took it upon herself to try and teach the girls the basic art of carbuncle summoning and passed her own Topaz and Emerald gems down to each of them.

: Demure and plagued with anxiety, E'kari was given Nicholas--Nack's Emerald carbuncle--as a therapy animal; while E'yami received Whackara--a Topaz companion who had enough spunk and energy to keep up with her. Both arcanist-pets has served the Professor faithfully since her own youth and passed without incident into the hands of their new masters.

: As the twins neared their teenage years, an odd habit of E'kari's came to light. She could often be found speaking to the streams, winds and rock-faces in the territory which the tribe found very suspicious. Some of the more superstitious members of the tribe were convinced the was speaking to the dead; the Nunh believed this was some gift from the Warden, proving his right to rule was divine.

: Knowing better than to believe any of that, Nack speculated that this was a hereditary trait, passed down from Sagu'a, who was a Hearer. Once more the professor went to the Nunh and convinced him that he should allow her to take the twins to train abroad in Gridania that they might return more powerful and capable of serving him. He agreed to the idea and within a fortnight Nack brought the girls to the Shroud.

: Once in Gridania, E'kari joined the Conjurer's Guild as a student while E'yami sought training in both lance and bow.

: Though eager to make new friends the Seeker found this was easier said than done. The high populous of Hyur and Elezen looked condescendingly upon the tribal girls. It was not out of the ordinary for the more crude classmates to inquire if her parents were cousins. This trouble fitting in was compounded by the fact she didn't seem to learn at the same rate as everyone else. E'kari would often focus on small details of things, so much so that she could not intake an entire lesson. A classroom setting did her little credit, but during her free moments she would visit the Everschade and commune with the Elementals.

: On one such visit, a strong wind blew a small branch down from the great tree; which, E'kari took and mended with magic that it might be used as a crook.

: Due to her natural affinity for the forest and her difficulty with conventional methods of learning she was taken as a personal apprentice to Master E-Sumi-Yan, a patient Padjal who specialized in the guidance of Hearers. Discovering the trick seemed to be hands-on learning, he took every opportunity to have the Seeker accompany him while he worked. E'kari improved quickly under his tutelage, able to stand as a conjurer in her own right.

: Near the end of the girl's time abroad, the Seventh Umbral Calamity struck. With her guild called to act as medics on the field, the twins soon found themselves on the heels of disaster for the duration of the event. E'kari and her classmates followed the guildmasters into the chaos, assisting those who had been wounded or fallen. E'yami acted as E'kari's personal guard as she preformed field surgeries and magical healing. The two witnessed death up close on more than one occasion, finding themselves changed by the end of it all.

: After all was said and done, the girls' respective masters deemed them both students no longer. And while this was a sweet taste, it was also made bitter by the memories of carnage that now haunted them both.

: The twins returned to their desert territory as heroines who represented their tribe with valor and courage. The Nunh held festivities long into the night.It seemed as though they'd finally been accepted, but neither seemed particularly content with staying within the territory any more--not after all they had been through. Together E'yami and E'kari traveled to the Shrine of the Warden, offering an Eft in a pyre for guidance. When the flesh had melted from the bones, Azeyma's will bid they must go--for they had more to do out in the world. E'kari shared this edict with their people and with heavy hearts, they left again to find and fulfill their duties elsewhere until the time the Warden calls for them to return.

: E'kari has a hard time learning in a conventional sense often requires an exceedingly patient teacher in order to have any real success. However once she does learn something--or is preforming a task she excels in--she is hard-pressed to be outshined.

: While still generally being good natured and apologetic, in combat E'kari is capable of being a formidable opponent. Being a conjurer she will often take the role of a healer, but her connection to the Elementals has also allowed to take a unique approach to martial arts. The Seeker will often harden a stone skin over her hands and feet while delivering blows, or using gales of wind to enhance her movement speed. She has named her self-made fighting style, "The Golem Step" which emphasizes momentum and fluidity. (Much of her techniques in form are inspired by real world Zui Quan)

: Despite her obvious shortcomings, E'kari is a very hopeful person and goes into every situation with optimism for success, even if she has failed at the task a hundred times before. Sometimes it's the hundred and first try that brings success.

: ● '''[[E'yami Amane]]''' - E'kari's protective fraternal twin sister, older by 7 minutes. E'yami has always been a strong source of strength, comfort and adventure as the two have grown. Though she has a very tomboyish and wears tough outer shell, E'kari knows that her sister is actually very caring and sensitive--always putting the needs of others before herself; and that is what makes her E'kari's hero.

: 💑 '''[[Vektis Sol]]''' - E'kari's boisterous, free-spirited and loveable husband. When they first met she admired his self confidence--often shyly observing him kicking down doors to shout his own name at people. There are few in the world who can raise E'kari's spirits like Vektis can. The two became close friends and then a couple shortly there after. Though many people see his behavior as a nuisance, E'kari celebrates her husband's off-beat mannerisms--unless of course they prove to be dangerous. She loves him to the end of the world and back. The two are married and have two young children together. "Yes, you have been informed correctly. Vektis is, indeed, the bestest." - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[E'kira Sol]]''' - The infant daughter of Vektis and E'kari, also commonly referred to as Kira. This tiny mixed breed of Keeper and Seeker has been though much hardship in her short life. E'kira is the sole survivor of a litter of three, making Vektis and E'kari very protective of her. Regardless of whatever situation she's in, E'kira tends to cry very little. Recently she'd begun learning to walk and talk. Already she has shown the propensity to always be making noise of some sort, just like her father.

: ● '''[[Maxwell Sol]]''' - Born to the Eft tribe--to the name E'rhaja Tia--and orphaned after his sire was defeated and overthrown by another male. E'kari picked up the kitten; she felt a kinship with him for their similar origins. Upon his arrival at Heartwood to the Sol family he was renamed by Vektis and E'kari so he might grow up feeling like he belonged. Now three cycles old, Max is shy, polite and thoughtful. Especially fond of tinkering with small shiny objects and collecting beads, rocks and shells. He has an exceptionally bright mind for a boy his age.

: ● '''[[Nicholas Nack- NPC]]''' - The ever-present summoned companion of E'kari. This carbuncle has been with E'kari throughout the Seeker's entire life as a sort of therapy animal, helping to keep her anxiety in check. With a gem layered with complex geometries: Anabel Nack made it so he and his sister creation--Whackara--could form memories; and with that, personalities. Nick is generally gentle and quiet, with a keen ability to sense people's emotional needs. As such, he tends to gravitate to people whom he suspects need comfort. Nick is aware of his own artificial intellegence and often grapples with his place in the world, as well as the loneliness that comes from his own existence. "Ploo!" - Nick

: ● '''[[Anabel Nack]]''' - Author, scientist, surgeon and parent. This quirky and frightening alchemist is the adopted mother of E'yami and E'kari. Nanabel Nabel by birth, she almost always goes by her pen-name "A.B. 'Nack'". Though her child rearing methods were always questionable at best, the most indisputable fact of it all is that Nack loves both of her girls very much. She is not above employing dark methods to ensure this mad-scientist keeps her loved ones safe. This lalafell's haunting laughter was picked up by E'kari as she was growing up. "Kuhuhuh....." - Anabel Nack

: ● '''[[Conrad Steelsong]]''' - This initially frighteningly large Ala Mhigan is actually the godparent of E'kari and Vektis' young daughter, E'kira. The four of them, as well as No'Ulla Khilik, all take up residence in the same house in the Mist. Conrad has obviously weathered the storm of many conflicts that have hardened his exterior. Despite his gruff demeanor, E'kari finds him to be a wonderful person and the closest thing to a father she's ever known.

: ● '''[[No'Ulla Khilik]]''' - The Ala Mhigan-weaver wife of Conrad Steelsong. She has recently returned from apprenticing in Ishgard to live with the Solsong household. E'kari finds her to be a skilled craftswoman and never tires of hearing about Ulla's special technique of Spell-Weaving. Ulla is a welcome addition to the family--E'kari just hopes that Vektis doesn't scare their new friend off with nonsensical antics.

: ● '''[[Nyscera Alarone]]''' - This mistress of shadowy death is a close friend of the twins' adopted mother. She is considered an aunt to E'kari and E'yami. Early on in E'kari stay at Heartwood, the dragon-riding assassin took E'kari, Bennett and Snowy in as pupils for physical and mental training. While it was grueling and at times crushing, E'kari owes her martial arts ability solely to these lessons. Nyscera taught E'kari the value of teamwork and also her how to be unphased by negative elements in her life.

: ● '''[[Rath Alarone]]''' - Nyscera's aloof husband--and by proxy--the twins' uncle. This applesauce-loving dark knight is the one that hired E'kari to work as the company alchemist--in no small part to do with the potent pain killers she was able to make for him after a fight that nearly ended in his death. He always seems have a joke lined up, even in the most bleak of situations.

: ● '''[[Bennett Cooper]]''' - E'kari's teammate and--since his adoption by Rath and Nyscera Alarone--cousin of sorts. E'kari sees Bennett as the shining future of their free company. While he makes mistakes and has a ways to go before he can truly master any of his arsenal of weapons, E'kari firmly believes this young boy is going to do great things. Could young Master Bennett be a something more than the average fighter...? "Cooper is Super..!" - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[E'vehlke Sohj]]''' - The maternal cousin of E'kari and E'yami. Vehlke is a fearless warrior with a strange accent. As she is a full blood Seeker of the Eft tribe, E'vehlke shares a striking resemblance to the twins' deceased mother.

: ● '''[[Sokhatai Borlaaq]]''' - This huntress is the wife of E'vehlke Sohj. She has a very specific way of talking. E'kari onced picked her brain about adventure and Au'Ra culture. She finds her delightful!

: ● '''[[Reina Sol]]''' - E'kari's half Keeper half Raen sister-in-law. She is the first person from Heartwood that the twins ever met, quickly taking the girls under her wing and giving them a place to stay. It was because of Reina that E'kari met Vektis. E'kari admires Reina as a strong and together person.

: ● '''[[Snowy Sol]]''' - E'kari's full miqo'te sister-in-law. Even before the two were related by marriage, E'kari has had a definite soft spot for this girl-genius in her heart. The two worked together in the clinic for some time, rather closely. In one occasion the two preformed life saving surgery on Vektis. E'kari's only qualm is that she fears this teen might be too relaxed about the dangerous world around her at times--but maybe that's just the anxiety talking.

: ● '''[[Xihvi'ir Valathri]]''' - Xihvi'ir, or 'Ashy' as the others have taken to calling him, is a kindly harp-player that has come into the service of Heartwood. Though E'kari doesn't know of his personal dealings in any intricate regard--other than his past as a gambler--she knows she can trust his character, as he is well loved by Nick. The Keeper has always loaned a helping hand to the company whenever a need arose, for that E'kari finds herself very grateful to her new friend. Though she doesn't know it yet, the two share an unexpected bond in blood.

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#4d0000; font-size:14px; color:#FFFFFF">Friends </div><div style="border:0px solid; padding:8px"> ===

: ● '''[[Sakeru Wakeru]]''' – This unsuspecting looking delivery boy has a dark past under the surface. A time ago, Sakeru divulged a portion of his history to E'kari and a few others. Oddly enough, she ended up trusting him more after learning he was a trained assassin. She was quite sad to see him leave but remembers him fondly. Wherever this lalafell goes two things are a certain: death and dinner. "Did I leave the oven on..?" - Sakeru Wakeru

: ● '''[[Tustin Lafell]]''' - The first moment E'kari saw this lalafell he was being arrested on the free company lawn for the attempted armed robbery. Later when he returned to make his peace with Heartwood the two met and over time became close companions. Tustin's street-savvy, wild and hot-headed demeanor contrasts E'kari's bookish, nervous, awkwardness in a very positive way. This Dunesfolk left Heartwood some time ago to make something of himself out in the world. Since then he has begun studying medicine. He remains, to this day, one of E'kari's most treasured and beloved friends. "I'm not cute! I'm manly as hell!" - Tustin Lafell

: ● '''[[Tynos Riller]]''' - This towering black mage initially greatly frightened E'kari upon their first meeting. Perhaps it was his scar, his serious expression or his sheer size--regardless, she now knows him as a very kind-hearted and family oriented leader. He sacrifices much of himself to keep Heartwood's members safe--and frankly--works too hard. It would be a shock to find him away from the clinic for longer than a month. It's safe to say, E'kari's pharmacy has a special 'Tynos Budget' for the small fortune it takes to keep this misfortune prone Elezen on his feet. "My goodness..! Hurt again, Master Tynos...?" - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[Cioccolato Stella]]''' - Cioccolato, or Lady Cio as E'kari calls her, works as a nurse and aspiring doctor for Heartwood. This charming and kind healer can often be seen sporting pastel colors and traveling around in the company of her Demon Brick, Cenere, which is a close friend of Max. E'kari has always been very fond of this miqo'te since her arrival and is one of the few she trusts to care for Kira and Max in her absence.

: ● '''[[Kaiya Ailbhe]]''' - The librarian, chief of medicine and over-all brains of Heartwood. E'kari admires the patience of this woman but also feels horribly guilty that the actions of her free company have driven Kaiya to take up smoking. Occasionally E'kari will bring Kaiya cinnamon sticks en masse as an attempt to give her something roughly cigarette shaped to hold and suck on. It is unknown if Doctor Ailhbe actually enjoys these or if she is merely humoring E'kari. Hopefully at the very least she is not being driven to smoke those as well...

: ● '''[[Zana Amaro]]''' - An aloof gunslinger and self proclaimed alley-cat. Despite being told not to, E'kari still insists on respectfully referring to this miqo'te as Lady Zana. When this woman is armed and in a foul mood . . . heaven help her target. E'kari has seen Zana rip a man's arm clean off. However Zana does also have a soft side. When E'kari was gravely injured in an attempt on her life, Zana stationed herself in the clinic to watch over her.

: ● '''[[Moralee Relen]]''' - Known to E'kari as "Mordry". This Au'Ra woman is rather complex for many reasons. Regardless E'kari cares greatly about Moralee and Mora in equal measure--although Mordry's "Moralee-half" is more familiar to her. Some time ago Mordry required E'kari's help with a somewhat risky task. This evoked the ire of her usually perpetually cheerful husband. Vektis has yet to forgive Mordry to this day, which fills the Seeker with guilt and remorse. However, because of that mission, E'kari learned how to brew a special and ancient potion she dubbed, "The Draught of the Dreamwalker".

: ● '''[[Neville Synch]]''' - This good natured marksman is the mate of Zana Amaro and the best friend of E'yami Amane. Over the period she has known him, this man has done a lot for E'kari's family which she could never repay. Though she does not know him too well personally she trusts him fully regardless. She always gets a chuckle out of the banter between Neville and Vektis.

: ● '''[[Vahn Quietfury]]''' - A sweet little boy with a curious connection to an elder dragon. E'kari first met the half lalafell on a caravan mission that was attacked. In the absence of his own mother, the Seeker would often look after Vahn when his father was away. One day when Vahn was playing with some of the other boys in the company yard he exhibited dangerous abilities. He and his father were sent away for the potential danger they posed. E'kari still loves Vahn like a son.

: ● '''[[Brandon Stormstrider]]''' - The Hyur father of Vahn Quietfury. E'kari met Brandon a short time after Vahn. The two became close friends, as the miqo'te was one of the few Heartwood members Brandon trusted. She would often do simple favors for the father and son to make their lives easier such as cleaning or bringing home pineapples. Upon their leaving to a new safehaven the Seeker found herself deeply saddend, however Brandon still sneaks over to the company on occasion. Brandon has placed E'kari under the protection of his men known only as "The Rogues".

: ● '''[[Enkhjargal Dalamiq]]''' - This stoic summoner is actually E'kari's master. He took her under his wing when she first arrived to Heartwood and had to terrorize her into being able to use her magic for anything beyond healing. His methods worked and looking back, E'kari owes him all of the strength she possesses now. Beyond that, she thinks he is a wonderful person who has natural ability with children. Who knew!

: ● '''[[Camille Everardi]]''' - Camille is Enkhjargal Dalamiq's wife and a talented mage, among many other things. E'kari has seen Camille fight in more than one way in the past with spars. She found this woman to be a strong female rolemodel for her in the past when she was just learning to fight--and still looks up to her to this day. E'kari couldn't be happier that her master and friend found happiness in each other's company.

: ● '''[[Chokho Viqqoh]]''' - A fierce, fiery and loyal amnesiac-Keeper who recently joined Heartwood. Since her arrival, Chokho and E'kari have become fast friends; bonding over their shared love of martial arts and string instruments. Though the two differ greatly in temperament and personality they have a shared respect for one another.

: ● '''[[Narumi Kotokaze]]''' - More commonly referred to as "Kota". E'kari met this Maelstrom affiliated bounty hunter on the road when she was set upon by highwaymen--which Kota easily dispatched. Since then the Raen has been promoted to first lieutenant of the Storm-guard and assigned to work as the handler of the former pirate Skyfwyb. The officer comissions her medicine from E'kari's "Alchemist's Alley". 

:● '''[[Nevrynn Alarone]]''' - While E'kari initially mistrusted the Seeker for his roguish persona and wanderlust, in resent months she has come to warm up to her sister's mate. Though she may not know him as well as she might like, he makes her sister happy. And the affection between the two are plain to see.

: ● '''[[Jake Jakkya]]''' - A red-lenses wearing void-mage who has spent a great deal of his life as a pit fighter. This spellsword is particularly close to E'kari's adopted mother, Nack, which makes him a brother of sorts. E'kari sorely wishes he would be less devil-may-care in demeanor at times, or at least care a bit more about his own life. She's always pleased when he pops up unharmed now and again. This former criminal has been blacklisted from Heartwood for his criminal debts to the Syndicate--though he has since paid them back in full, becoming an ally to the group.

: ● '''[[Ash Valken]]''' - The tall, brooding brother of Nyscera who has a strong dislike for Rath. E'kari met this former bandit spying on her a few times. Eventually the two had a sit-down conversation and became close--which was a new thing for the Au'Ra. E'kari taught Ash how to play a grasswhistle, fixed his broken hearing-aid and engaged in a playful spar. Somehow, in one way or another, most of their interactions end in awkward sexual-tension. The day Ash left Heartwood, E'kari gave him a necklace made from a strap of her doctor's bag to remember her by and encouraged him to follow his dreams.

: ● '''[[Akiyuki Okuma]]''' - The large, quiet, but overall pleasant husband of Cio who has joined Heartwood since his marriage to the plucky, pastel nursemaid. This reserved Au'Ra is a welcome addition to the family.

: ● '''[[Kenoni Eien’no]]''' - The betrothed of her friend Moralee. A stern and stoic acquaintance but never the less, E'kari admires his loyalty and commitment to Mordry. She hopes the two will have a wonderful life together with their child.

: ● '''[[J'edite Shedai]]''' - A fellow enthusiast of martial arts that spends most of her time roaming Thanalan seeking glory for the Jackal tribe. The two have had run-ins here and there as J'edite was on hunts and once sparred under the Sultan tree. The Seekers employ very different styles of their own making: while E'kari fights with her heavy handed "Golem Step" ideal for doing battle with armed and armored foes; J'edite uses fast kicks transitioning into fluid jabs in her "Fire Dancer" style that proves to be the bane of slower opponents. As it stands the two are friendly rivals.

: ● '''[[Alpon Adpon]]''' - The Pink Punisher! E'kari has met this "battle-chef" in passing more than once. The lalafell's skill in combat seems to rival his culinary prowess.

: ● '''[[Namaka Ebisu]]''' - A strange and sweet water-sprite who lives in a fountain. You want tree slugs? Because this is how you get tree slugs.

: ● '''[[Alistar Stormfist]]''' - Found by Heartwood on the road to Little Ala Mhigo, this former Garlean slave was near death and wearing a magitek collar. With no where else to go and no life to return to, this gentle giant returned with the caravan to the Heartwood Homestead.

: ● '''[[Lucinda Kovix]]''' - This kindly and capable, Ishgardian drifter met Doctor Sol as she was returning from conversing with the Everschade and her husband's chocobo ran off. Lucinda and E'kari worked together to catch the bird and got to talking about Lucy's need for work and also to find her missing brother. The Miqo'te has since come to stay at Heartwood which has overjoyed E'kari.

: ● '''[[L'nela Varya]]''' - A one-eyed woman who really enjoys taking a bite out of life! In all seriousness--L'nela is a chipper and quirky person. A little emotional at times, but rightfully so; as her recent years have been filled with trauma. Both physical and emotional. Careful, she likes to nibble!
 

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#4d0000;font-size:14px;color:#FFFFFF;">Disliked</div><div style="border:0px solid; padding:8px">===

:● '''[[Tharl Oom Khash - NPC]]''' - A being made of corruption who takes his name from his place of creation. While to most guardians of the Shroud he would be a natural enemy anyway--this thing has taken a special and terrible shine to tormenting E'kari and all of Heartwood. His track record of terrible deeds is staggering and body count ever on the rise. His most memorable in E'kari's mind were her children, Sagu'a and Cize. The vengeful mother aided in his demise by pummeling him with special stones--from Tynos and Kaiya--she formed into barbaric gauntlets.


:● '''[[The Pumpking - NPC]]''' - This strange and otherwordly being was initially just an unsettling presence that occasionally appeared in the Heartwood halls offering bargains for steep moral prices. It was not until this squash-headed man manipulated Tustin Lafell into a contract that he became E'kari's enemy. The Seeker used excessive force against the entitiy, beating him into a puddle of black ooze. He has since returned to haunt Heartwood, though has stifled a sum of E'kari's animosity toward him by fixing her carbuncle's shattered gem and helping finish off Khash for good.

:● '''[[Skyfwyb Aergankawyn]]''' - E'kari was not fond of this woman from the start. The monsterous Seawolf had committed crimes against Heartwood on numerous occasions. E'kari was glad to hear of her sting and arrest by the Maelstrom. In the time that has followed, however, the curt and belligerent captain seems to have changed her ways to some extent. E'kari now views her slightly more favorably after having witnessed Skyfwyb's capacity to care genuinely for another person. It was also by the aid of this former pirate that the Solsong household was able to cross the sea to the east. As it stands now they are allies.

== <div style="padding:10px 15px; background:#4d0000; font-size:20px; color:#ffffff">'''Character Trivia'''</div>==
 
:■ E'kari refers to people as 'master' or 'lady' because as a young newcomer to Gridania she was hazed by the local youths told that it was how non-tribal people spoke to one another. Excited to make 'friends' the Seeker picked this up almost immediately. It was not until this was an ingrained habit that she learned it was all a ruse for E'kari to make a fool of herself every time she spoke.
:■ Despite the skill not coming up particularly often, E'kari is adept at Thavnarian belly-dancing. This and many similar styles of celebratory dance were used among she and her kin in their tribal lands; though this is actually not their people's only connection to the middle east. The dress style, use of Alchemy and herbal medicines, even their taste in food has been greatly influenced by trade with Thavnaire, much like many others who reside in Thanalan.
:■ Due to E'kari's heavy aspection to Earth she is notoriously difficult to knock off her feet and has immense stamina; adversely, she is not as quick as she'd like to be and swimming in deep water takes a significant amount of energy.
:■ Though most are unaware--or attribute some of her mannerisms to merely being quirky--E'kari actually suffers from high functioning autism. Social queues tend to be her biggest hurdle, along with focusing on the big picture of tasks as opposed to minuet details, and sorting out painful emotions.

<div>
=== '''♦ General''' ===
<hr>
 
: (This page has recently undergone a major rework! Check it out if you want to know what has changed!)
: This overly polite and apologetic medicine-woman can often be found scuttling about making deliveries for her shop. Due to her diligent work, E'kari's Alchemist Alley has become one of the Alchemist Guild's favored subsidiaries and is frequently called upon to do business in Little Ala Mhigo as a representative of their organization. <div>
 



=== '''♦ Appearance''' ===
<hr>
 

: E'kari is a Seeker/Keeper half-breed who carries some physical traits from her mother and father. Her eyes are narrow slit-pupils, skin pale but capable of bronzing in the sun like a Seeker; though her fur is fluffy and tail is long like a Keeper.

: This miqo'te has a snow-print mane--white with undertones if black and grey--with pale blue eyes and bangle-stripes that frame her face.

: In true mage form--E'kari can usually be found in little to no armor, even when going into battle. It slows her down in preforming martial arts and also disrupts her casting to wear anything too heavy. Instead she prefers comfortable robes or her labcoat. <div>
 



=== '''♦ History ''' ===
<hr>
 
: The parentage of E'yami and E'kari is a taboo matter. One that the Nunh of the Eft ordered upon the strictest of penalty, never to be spoken of. While their mother--E'yari--was a Seeker and one of the designated breeding females to the Nunh; their father--Sagu'a--was actually a roving Keeper who had long since left behind a subservient life with his maternal-family in the Shroud to be a traveling poet, minstrel and anthropologist. The two Miqo'te met when Sagu'a and his scholarly lalafell companion, Anabel Nack, sought a place to rest during their travels. The tribe apprehensively took the researchers in as temporary guests. In that time Sagu'a and E'yari began a secret relationship.

:When it came to light that the two had been together Sagu'a was put to death, and his body unceremoniously left to rot in the heat of the desert just outside of their territory.

: In a double blow, not only was E'yari stricken with grief, but she also discovered she was pregnant. Due to a combination of her melancholy of her lost love, the despair at what her life would be at the whims of her Nunh and complications during the birthing process--E'yari died shortly after her second kit was delivered. The last words she managed to speak before slipping away were the names of her children. Both Doman, in honor of their father who fancied the culture. Yami, meaning dark, and Hikari meaning light--though the midwives were unfamiliar with the tongue, mistaking it simply for /E/kari.

: Upon the twins' birth into the Eft--as per tradition--the clan made a ceremonial offering of their namesake to Azeyma that would determine their role in the tribe. When the flesh was melted from the bones,their appointed wise-woman had determined E'kari was to be the next shaman while E'yami's bones were an augury that she was preordained to be a great warrior.

: The Nunh was pleased by the news and demanded celebration, but found that the females of the tribe were not nearly as thrilled. Many believed that the pale-faced kits with hair of black and white were cursed; killing their mother with ill-omen. Nack took this opportunity to offer her services in raising her friends' children and providing them with education.

:The lalafell's silver tongue managed to coerce the Nunh to allow this arrangement--given he had few other options. The three were put up in a yurt close to the Nunh's own home to keep an eye on the foreigner.

: In the years that proceeded their youth, the twins were given a proper education by the professor--in between being stolen away to be taught their duties to the Eft. While Yami practiced fighting the other tribal youths, Kari was introduced to herbal medicine, burial rites and how to divinate the future with the practice of bone reading.

: Despite the twins' diligent efforts to hone their skills and fulfill thier tribal roles, they sorely lacked any sort of companionship from the other children of the Eft--having learned from their mother's to be wary of the pale-faced Seekers. Because of this, Nack took it upon herself to try and teach the girls the basic art of carbuncle summoning and passed her own Topaz and Emerald gems down to each of them.

: Demure and plagued with anxiety, E'kari was given Nicholas--Nack's Emerald carbuncle--as a therapy animal; while E'yami received Whackara--a Topaz companion who had enough spunk and energy to keep up with her. Both arcanist-pets has served the Professor faithfully since her own youth and passed without incident into the hands of their new masters.

: As the twins neared their teenage years, an odd habit of E'kari's came to light. She could often be found speaking to the streams, winds and rock-faces in the territory which the tribe found very suspicious. Some of the more superstitious members of the tribe were convinced the was speaking to the dead; the Nunh believed this was some gift from the Warden, proving his right to rule was divine.

: Knowing better than to believe any of that, Nack speculated that this was a hereditary trait, passed down from Sagu'a, who was a Hearer. Once more the professor went to the Nunh and convinced him that he should allow her to take the twins to train abroad in Gridania that they might return more powerful and capable of serving him. He agreed to the idea and within a fortnight Nack brought the girls to the Shroud.

: Once in Gridania, E'kari joined the Conjurer's Guild as a student while E'yami sought training in both lance and bow.

: Though eager to make new friends the Seeker found this was easier said than done. The high populous of Hyur and Elezen looked condescendingly upon the tribal girls. It was not out of the ordinary for the more crude classmates to inquire if her parents were cousins. This trouble fitting in was compounded by the fact she didn't seem to learn at the same rate as everyone else. E'kari would often focus on small details of things, so much so that she could not intake an entire lesson. A classroom setting did her little credit, but during her free moments she would visit the Everschade and commune with the Elementals.

: On one such visit, a strong wind blew a small branch down from the great tree; which, E'kari took and mended with magic that it might be used as a crook.

: Due to her natural affinity for the forest and her difficulty with conventional methods of learning she was taken as a personal apprentice to Master E-Sumi-Yan, a patient Padjal who specialized in the guidance of Hearers. Discovering the trick seemed to be hands-on learning, he took every opportunity to have the Seeker accompany him while he worked. E'kari improved quickly under his tutelage, able to stand as a conjurer in her own right.

: Near the end of the girl's time abroad, the Seventh Umbral Calamity struck. With her guild called to act as medics on the field, the twins soon found themselves on the heels of disaster for the duration of the event. E'kari and her classmates followed the guildmasters into the chaos, assisting those who had been wounded or fallen. E'yami acted as E'kari's personal guard as she preformed field surgeries and magical healing. The two witnessed death up close on more than one occasion, finding themselves changed by the end of it all.

: After all was said and done, the girls' respective masters deemed them both students no longer. And while this was a sweet taste, it was also made bitter by the memories of carnage that now haunted them both.

: The twins returned to their desert territory as heroines who represented their tribe with valor and courage. The Nunh held festivities long into the night.It seemed as though they'd finally been accepted, but neither seemed particularly content with staying within the territory any more--not after all they had been through. Together E'yami and E'kari traveled to the Shrine of the Warden, offering an Eft in a pyre for guidance. When the flesh had melted from the bones, Azeyma's will bid they must go--for they had more to do out in the world. E'kari shared this edict with their people and with heavy hearts, they left again to find and fulfill their duties elsewhere until the time the Warden calls for them to return.

=== '''♦ Behavior ''' ===

 

: E'kari has a hard time learning in a conventional sense often requires an exceedingly patient teacher in order to have any real success. However once she does learn something--or is preforming a task she excels in--she is hard-pressed to be outshined.

: While still generally being good natured and apologetic, in combat E'kari is capable of being a formidable opponent. Being a conjurer she will often take the role of a healer, but her connection to the Elementals has also allowed to take a unique approach to martial arts. The Seeker will often harden a stone skin over her hands and feet while delivering blows, or using gales of wind to enhance her movement speed. She has named her self-made fighting style, "The Golem Step" which emphasizes momentum and fluidity. (Much of her techniques in form are inspired by real world Zui Quan)

: Despite her obvious shortcomings, E'kari is a very hopeful person and goes into every situation with optimism for success, even if she has failed at the task a hundred times before. Sometimes it's the hundred and first try that brings success.

: ● '''[[E'yami Amane]]''' - E'kari's protective fraternal twin sister, older by 7 minutes. E'yami has always been a strong source of strength, comfort and adventure as the two have grown. Though she has a very tomboyish and wears tough outer shell, E'kari knows that her sister is actually very caring and sensitive--always putting the needs of others before herself; and that is what makes her E'kari's hero.

: 💑 '''[[Vektis Sol]]''' - E'kari's boisterous, free-spirited and loveable husband. When they first met she admired his self confidence--often shyly observing him kicking down doors to shout his own name at people. There are few in the world who can raise E'kari's spirits like Vektis can. The two became close friends and then a couple shortly there after. Though many people see his behavior as a nuisance, E'kari celebrates her husband's off-beat mannerisms--unless of course they prove to be dangerous. She loves him to the end of the world and back. The two are married and have two young children together. "Yes, you have been informed correctly. Vektis is, indeed, the bestest." - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[E'kira Sol]]''' - The infant daughter of Vektis and E'kari, also commonly referred to as Kira. This tiny mixed breed of Keeper and Seeker has been though much hardship in her short life. E'kira is the sole survivor of a litter of three, making Vektis and E'kari very protective of her. Regardless of whatever situation she's in, E'kira tends to cry very little. Recently she'd begun learning to walk and talk. Already she has shown the propensity to always be making noise of some sort, just like her father.

: ● '''[[Maxwell Sol]]''' - Born to the Eft tribe--to the name E'rhaja Tia--and orphaned after his sire was defeated and overthrown by another male. E'kari picked up the kitten; she felt a kinship with him for their similar origins. Upon his arrival at Heartwood to the Sol family he was renamed by Vektis and E'kari so he might grow up feeling like he belonged. Now three cycles old, Max is shy, polite and thoughtful. Especially fond of tinkering with small shiny objects and collecting beads, rocks and shells. He has an exceptionally bright mind for a boy his age.

: ● '''[[Nicholas Nack- NPC]]''' - The ever-present summoned companion of E'kari. This carbuncle has been with E'kari throughout the Seeker's entire life as a sort of therapy animal, helping to keep her anxiety in check. With a gem layered with complex geometries: Anabel Nack made it so he and his sister creation--Whackara--could form memories; and with that, personalities. Nick is generally gentle and quiet, with a keen ability to sense people's emotional needs. As such, he tends to gravitate to people whom he suspects need comfort. Nick is aware of his own artificial intellegence and often grapples with his place in the world, as well as the loneliness that comes from his own existence. "Ploo!" - Nick

: ● '''[[Anabel Nack]]''' - Author, scientist, surgeon and parent. This quirky and frightening alchemist is the adopted mother of E'yami and E'kari. Nanabel Nabel by birth, she almost always goes by her pen-name "A.B. 'Nack'". Though her child rearing methods were always questionable at best, the most indisputable fact of it all is that Nack loves both of her girls very much. She is not above employing dark methods to ensure this mad-scientist keeps her loved ones safe. This lalafell's haunting laughter was picked up by E'kari as she was growing up. "Kuhuhuh....." - Anabel Nack

: ● '''[[Conrad Steelsong]]''' - This initially frighteningly large Ala Mhigan is actually the godparent of E'kari and Vektis' young daughter, E'kira. The four of them, as well as No'Ulla Khilik, all take up residence in the same house in the Mist. Conrad has obviously weathered the storm of many conflicts that have hardened his exterior. Despite his gruff demeanor, E'kari finds him to be a wonderful person and the closest thing to a father she's ever known.

: ● '''[[No'Ulla Khilik]]''' - The Ala Mhigan-weaver wife of Conrad Steelsong. She has recently returned from apprenticing in Ishgard to live with the Solsong household. E'kari finds her to be a skilled craftswoman and never tires of hearing about Ulla's special technique of Spell-Weaving. Ulla is a welcome addition to the family--E'kari just hopes that Vektis doesn't scare their new friend off with nonsensical antics.

: ● '''[[Nyscera Alarone]]''' - This mistress of shadowy death is a close friend of the twins' adopted mother. She is considered an aunt to E'kari and E'yami. Early on in E'kari stay at Heartwood, the dragon-riding assassin took E'kari, Bennett and Snowy in as pupils for physical and mental training. While it was grueling and at times crushing, E'kari owes her martial arts ability solely to these lessons. Nyscera taught E'kari the value of teamwork and also her how to be unphased by negative elements in her life.

: ● '''[[Rath Alarone]]''' - Nyscera's aloof husband--and by proxy--the twins' uncle. This applesauce-loving dark knight is the one that hired E'kari to work as the company alchemist--in no small part to do with the potent pain killers she was able to make for him after a fight that nearly ended in his death. He always seems have a joke lined up, even in the most bleak of situations.

: ● '''[[Bennett Cooper]]''' - E'kari's teammate and--since his adoption by Rath and Nyscera Alarone--cousin of sorts. E'kari sees Bennett as the shining future of their free company. While he makes mistakes and has a ways to go before he can truly master any of his arsenal of weapons, E'kari firmly believes this young boy is going to do great things. Could young Master Bennett be a something more than the average fighter...? "Cooper is Super..!" - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[E'vehlke Sohj]]''' - The maternal cousin of E'kari and E'yami. Vehlke is a fearless warrior with a strange accent. As she is a full blood Seeker of the Eft tribe, E'vehlke shares a striking resemblance to the twins' deceased mother.

: ● '''[[Sokhatai Borlaaq]]''' - This huntress is the wife of E'vehlke Sohj. She has a very specific way of talking. E'kari onced picked her brain about adventure and Au'Ra culture. She finds her delightful!

: ● '''[[Reina Sol]]''' - E'kari's half Keeper half Raen sister-in-law. She is the first person from Heartwood that the twins ever met, quickly taking the girls under her wing and giving them a place to stay. It was because of Reina that E'kari met Vektis. E'kari admires Reina as a strong and together person.

: ● '''[[Snowy Sol]]''' - E'kari's full miqo'te sister-in-law. Even before the two were related by marriage, E'kari has had a definite soft spot for this girl-genius in her heart. The two worked together in the clinic for some time, rather closely. In one occasion the two preformed life saving surgery on Vektis. E'kari's only qualm is that she fears this teen might be too relaxed about the dangerous world around her at times--but maybe that's just the anxiety talking.

: ● '''[[Xihvi'ir Valathri]]''' - Xihvi'ir, or 'Ashy' as the others have taken to calling him, is a kindly harp-player that has come into the service of Heartwood. Though E'kari doesn't know of his personal dealings in any intricate regard--other than his past as a gambler--she knows she can trust his character, as he is well loved by Nick. The Keeper has always loaned a helping hand to the company whenever a need arose, for that E'kari finds herself very grateful to her new friend. Though she doesn't know it yet, the two share an unexpected bond in blood.

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#4d0000; font-size:14px; color:#FFFFFF">Friends </div><div style="border:0px solid; padding:8px"> ===

: ● '''[[Sakeru Wakeru]]''' – This unsuspecting looking delivery boy has a dark past under the surface. A time ago, Sakeru divulged a portion of his history to E'kari and a few others. Oddly enough, she ended up trusting him more after learning he was a trained assassin. She was quite sad to see him leave but remembers him fondly. Wherever this lalafell goes two things are a certain: death and dinner. "Did I leave the oven on..?" - Sakeru Wakeru

: ● '''[[Tustin Lafell]]''' - The first moment E'kari saw this lalafell he was being arrested on the free company lawn for the attempted armed robbery. Later when he returned to make his peace with Heartwood the two met and over time became close companions. Tustin's street-savvy, wild and hot-headed demeanor contrasts E'kari's bookish, nervous, awkwardness in a very positive way. This Dunesfolk left Heartwood some time ago to make something of himself out in the world. Since then he has begun studying medicine. He remains, to this day, one of E'kari's most treasured and beloved friends. "I'm not cute! I'm manly as hell!" - Tustin Lafell

: ● '''[[Tynos Riller]]''' - This towering black mage initially greatly frightened E'kari upon their first meeting. Perhaps it was his scar, his serious expression or his sheer size--regardless, she now knows him as a very kind-hearted and family oriented leader. He sacrifices much of himself to keep Heartwood's members safe--and frankly--works too hard. It would be a shock to find him away from the clinic for longer than a month. It's safe to say, E'kari's pharmacy has a special 'Tynos Budget' for the small fortune it takes to keep this misfortune prone Elezen on his feet. "My goodness..! Hurt again, Master Tynos...?" - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[Cioccolato Stella]]''' - Cioccolato, or Lady Cio as E'kari calls her, works as a nurse and aspiring doctor for Heartwood. This charming and kind healer can often be seen sporting pastel colors and traveling around in the company of her Demon Brick, Cenere, which is a close friend of Max. E'kari has always been very fond of this miqo'te since her arrival and is one of the few she trusts to care for Kira and Max in her absence.

: ● '''[[Kaiya Ailbhe]]''' - The librarian, chief of medicine and over-all brains of Heartwood. E'kari admires the patience of this woman but also feels horribly guilty that the actions of her free company have driven Kaiya to take up smoking. Occasionally E'kari will bring Kaiya cinnamon sticks en masse as an attempt to give her something roughly cigarette shaped to hold and suck on. It is unknown if Doctor Ailhbe actually enjoys these or if she is merely humoring E'kari. Hopefully at the very least she is not being driven to smoke those as well...

: ● '''[[Zana Amaro]]''' - An aloof gunslinger and self proclaimed alley-cat. Despite being told not to, E'kari still insists on respectfully referring to this miqo'te as Lady Zana. When this woman is armed and in a foul mood . . . heaven help her target. E'kari has seen Zana rip a man's arm clean off. However Zana does also have a soft side. When E'kari was gravely injured in an attempt on her life, Zana stationed herself in the clinic to watch over her.

: ● '''[[Moralee Relen]]''' - Known to E'kari as "Mordry". This Au'Ra woman is rather complex for many reasons. Regardless E'kari cares greatly about Moralee and Mora in equal measure--although Mordry's "Moralee-half" is more familiar to her. Some time ago Mordry required E'kari's help with a somewhat risky task. This evoked the ire of her usually perpetually cheerful husband. Vektis has yet to forgive Mordry to this day, which fills the Seeker with guilt and remorse. However, because of that mission, E'kari learned how to brew a special and ancient potion she dubbed, "The Draught of the Dreamwalker".

: ● '''[[Neville Synch]]''' - This good natured marksman is the mate of Zana Amaro and the best friend of E'yami Amane. Over the period she has known him, this man has done a lot for E'kari's family which she could never repay. Though she does not know him too well personally she trusts him fully regardless. She always gets a chuckle out of the banter between Neville and Vektis.

: ● '''[[Vahn Quietfury]]''' - A sweet little boy with a curious connection to an elder dragon. E'kari first met the half lalafell on a caravan mission that was attacked. In the absence of his own mother, the Seeker would often look after Vahn when his father was away. One day when Vahn was playing with some of the other boys in the company yard he exhibited dangerous abilities. He and his father were sent away for the potential danger they posed. E'kari still loves Vahn like a son.

: ● '''[[Brandon Stormstrider]]''' - The Hyur father of Vahn Quietfury. E'kari met Brandon a short time after Vahn. The two became close friends, as the miqo'te was one of the few Heartwood members Brandon trusted. She would often do simple favors for the father and son to make their lives easier such as cleaning or bringing home pineapples. Upon their leaving to a new safehaven the Seeker found herself deeply saddend, however Brandon still sneaks over to the company on occasion. Brandon has placed E'kari under the protection of his men known only as "The Rogues".

: ● '''[[Enkhjargal Dalamiq]]''' - This stoic summoner is actually E'kari's master. He took her under his wing when she first arrived to Heartwood and had to terrorize her into being able to use her magic for anything beyond healing. His methods worked and looking back, E'kari owes him all of the strength she possesses now. Beyond that, she thinks he is a wonderful person who has natural ability with children. Who knew!

: ● '''[[Camille Everardi]]''' - Camille is Enkhjargal Dalamiq's wife and a talented mage, among many other things. E'kari has seen Camille fight in more than one way in the past with spars. She found this woman to be a strong female rolemodel for her in the past when she was just learning to fight--and still looks up to her to this day. E'kari couldn't be happier that her master and friend found happiness in each other's company.

: ● '''[[Chokho Viqqoh]]''' - A fierce, fiery and loyal amnesiac-Keeper who recently joined Heartwood. Since her arrival, Chokho and E'kari have become fast friends; bonding over their shared love of martial arts and string instruments. Though the two differ greatly in temperament and personality they have a shared respect for one another.

: ● '''[[Narumi Kotokaze]]''' - More commonly referred to as "Kota". E'kari met this Maelstrom affiliated bounty hunter on the road when she was set upon by highwaymen--which Kota easily dispatched. Since then the Raen has been promoted to first lieutenant of the Storm-guard and assigned to work as the handler of the former pirate Skyfwyb. The officer comissions her medicine from E'kari's "Alchemist's Alley". 

:● '''[[Nevrynn Alarone]]''' - While E'kari initially mistrusted the Seeker for his roguish persona and wanderlust, in resent months she has come to warm up to her sister's mate. Though she may not know him as well as she might like, he makes her sister happy. And the affection between the two are plain to see.

: ● '''[[Jake Jakkya]]''' - A red-lenses wearing void-mage who has spent a great deal of his life as a pit fighter. This spellsword is particularly close to E'kari's adopted mother, Nack, which makes him a brother of sorts. E'kari sorely wishes he would be less devil-may-care in demeanor at times, or at least care a bit more about his own life. She's always pleased when he pops up unharmed now and again. This former criminal has been blacklisted from Heartwood for his criminal debts to the Syndicate--though he has since paid them back in full, becoming an ally to the group.

: ● '''[[Ash Valken]]''' - The tall, brooding brother of Nyscera who has a strong dislike for Rath. E'kari met this former bandit spying on her a few times. Eventually the two had a sit-down conversation and became close--which was a new thing for the Au'Ra. E'kari taught Ash how to play a grasswhistle, fixed his broken hearing-aid and engaged in a playful spar. Somehow, in one way or another, most of their interactions end in awkward sexual-tension. The day Ash left Heartwood, E'kari gave him a necklace made from a strap of her doctor's bag to remember her by and encouraged him to follow his dreams.

: ● '''[[Akiyuki Okuma]]''' - The large, quiet, but overall pleasant husband of Cio who has joined Heartwood since his marriage to the plucky, pastel nursemaid. This reserved Au'Ra is a welcome addition to the family.

: ● '''[[Kenoni Eien’no]]''' - The betrothed of her friend Moralee. A stern and stoic acquaintance but never the less, E'kari admires his loyalty and commitment to Mordry. She hopes the two will have a wonderful life together with their child.

: ● '''[[J'edite Shedai]]''' - A fellow enthusiast of martial arts that spends most of her time roaming Thanalan seeking glory for the Jackal tribe. The two have had run-ins here and there as J'edite was on hunts and once sparred under the Sultan tree. The Seekers employ very different styles of their own making: while E'kari fights with her heavy handed "Golem Step" ideal for doing battle with armed and armored foes; J'edite uses fast kicks transitioning into fluid jabs in her "Fire Dancer" style that proves to be the bane of slower opponents. As it stands the two are friendly rivals.

: ● '''[[Alpon Adpon]]''' - The Pink Punisher! E'kari has met this "battle-chef" in passing more than once. The lalafell's skill in combat seems to rival his culinary prowess.

: ● '''[[Namaka Ebisu]]''' - A strange and sweet water-sprite who lives in a fountain. You want tree slugs? Because this is how you get tree slugs.

: ● '''[[Alistar Stormfist]]''' - Found by Heartwood on the road to Little Ala Mhigo, this former Garlean slave was near death and wearing a magitek collar. With no where else to go and no life to return to, this gentle giant returned with the caravan to the Heartwood Homestead.

: ● '''[[Lucinda Kovix]]''' - This kindly and capable, Ishgardian drifter met Doctor Sol as she was returning from conversing with the Everschade and her husband's chocobo ran off. Lucinda and E'kari worked together to catch the bird and got to talking about Lucy's need for work and also to find her missing brother. The Miqo'te has since come to stay at Heartwood which has overjoyed E'kari.

: ● '''[[L'nela Varya]]''' - A one-eyed woman who really enjoys taking a bite out of life! In all seriousness--L'nela is a chipper and quirky person. A little emotional at times, but rightfully so; as her recent years have been filled with trauma. Both physical and emotional. Careful, she likes to nibble!
 

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#4d0000;font-size:14px;color:#FFFFFF;">Disliked</div><div style="border:0px solid; padding:8px">===

:● '''[[Tharl Oom Khash - NPC]]''' - A being made of corruption who takes his name from his place of creation. While to most guardians of the Shroud he would be a natural enemy anyway--this thing has taken a special and terrible shine to tormenting E'kari and all of Heartwood. His track record of terrible deeds is staggering and body count ever on the rise. His most memorable in E'kari's mind were her children, Sagu'a and Cize. The vengeful mother aided in his demise by pummeling him with special stones--from Tynos and Kaiya--she formed into barbaric gauntlets.


:● '''[[The Pumpking - NPC]]''' - This strange and otherwordly being was initially just an unsettling presence that occasionally appeared in the Heartwood halls offering bargains for steep moral prices. It was not until this squash-headed man manipulated Tustin Lafell into a contract that he became E'kari's enemy. The Seeker used excessive force against the entitiy, beating him into a puddle of black ooze. He has since returned to haunt Heartwood, though has stifled a sum of E'kari's animosity toward him by fixing her carbuncle's shattered gem and helping finish off Khash for good.

:● '''[[Skyfwyb Aergankawyn]]''' - E'kari was not fond of this woman from the start. The monsterous Seawolf had committed crimes against Heartwood on numerous occasions. E'kari was glad to hear of her sting and arrest by the Maelstrom. In the time that has followed, however, the curt and belligerent captain seems to have changed her ways to some extent. E'kari now views her slightly more favorably after having witnessed Skyfwyb's capacity to care genuinely for another person. It was also by the aid of this former pirate that the Solsong household was able to cross the sea to the east. As it stands now they are allies.

== <div style="padding:10px 15px; background:#4d0000; font-size:20px; color:#ffffff">'''Character Trivia'''</div>==
 
:■ E'kari refers to people as 'master' or 'lady' because as a young newcomer to Gridania she was hazed by the local youths told that it was how non-tribal people spoke to one another. Excited to make 'friends' the Seeker picked this up almost immediately. It was not until this was an ingrained habit that she learned it was all a ruse for E'kari to make a fool of herself every time she spoke.
:■ Despite the skill not coming up particularly often, E'kari is adept at Thavnarian belly-dancing. This and many similar styles of celebratory dance were used among she and her kin in their tribal lands; though this is actually not their people's only connection to the middle east. The dress style, use of Alchemy and herbal medicines, even their taste in food has been greatly influenced by trade with Thavnaire, much like many others who reside in Thanalan.
:■ Due to E'kari's heavy aspection to Earth she is notoriously difficult to knock off her feet and has immense stamina; adversely, she is not as quick as she'd like to be and swimming in deep water takes a significant amount of energy.
:■ Though most are unaware--or attribute some of her mannerisms to merely being quirky--E'kari actually suffers from high functioning autism. Social queues tend to be her biggest hurdle, along with focusing on the big picture of tasks as opposed to minuet details, and sorting out painful emotions.

<div>
=== '''♦ General''' ===
<hr>
 
: (This page has recently undergone a major rework! Check it out if you want to know what has changed!)
: This overly polite and apologetic medicine-woman can often be found scuttling about making deliveries for her shop. Due to her diligent work, E'kari's Alchemist Alley has become one of the Alchemist Guild's favored subsidiaries and is frequently called upon to do business in Little Ala Mhigo as a representative of their organization. <div>
 



=== '''♦ Appearance''' ===
<hr>
 

: E'kari is a Seeker/Keeper half-breed who carries some physical traits from her mother and father. Her eyes are narrow slit-pupils, skin pale but capable of bronzing in the sun like a Seeker; though her fur is fluffy and tail is long like a Keeper.

: This miqo'te has a snow-print mane--white with undertones if black and grey--with pale blue eyes and bangle-stripes that frame her face.

: In true mage form--E'kari can usually be found in little to no armor, even when going into battle. It slows her down in preforming martial arts and also disrupts her casting to wear anything too heavy. Instead she prefers comfortable robes or her labcoat. <div>
 



=== '''♦ History ''' ===
<hr>
 
: The parentage of E'yami and E'kari is a taboo matter. One that the Nunh of the Eft ordered upon the strictest of penalty, never to be spoken of. While their mother--E'yari--was a Seeker and one of the designated breeding females to the Nunh; their father--Sagu'a--was actually a roving Keeper who had long since left behind a subservient life with his maternal-family in the Shroud to be a traveling poet, minstrel and anthropologist. The two Miqo'te met when Sagu'a and his scholarly lalafell companion, Anabel Nack, sought a place to rest during their travels. The tribe apprehensively took the researchers in as temporary guests. In that time Sagu'a and E'yari began a secret relationship.

:When it came to light that the two had been together Sagu'a was put to death, and his body unceremoniously left to rot in the heat of the desert just outside of their territory.

: In a double blow, not only was E'yari stricken with grief, but she also discovered she was pregnant. Due to a combination of her melancholy of her lost love, the despair at what her life would be at the whims of her Nunh and complications during the birthing process--E'yari died shortly after her second kit was delivered. The last words she managed to speak before slipping away were the names of her children. Both Doman, in honor of their father who fancied the culture. Yami, meaning dark, and Hikari meaning light--though the midwives were unfamiliar with the tongue, mistaking it simply for /E/kari.

: Upon the twins' birth into the Eft--as per tradition--the clan made a ceremonial offering of their namesake to Azeyma that would determine their role in the tribe. When the flesh was melted from the bones,their appointed wise-woman had determined E'kari was to be the next shaman while E'yami's bones were an augury that she was preordained to be a great warrior.

: The Nunh was pleased by the news and demanded celebration, but found that the females of the tribe were not nearly as thrilled. Many believed that the pale-faced kits with hair of black and white were cursed; killing their mother with ill-omen. Nack took this opportunity to offer her services in raising her friends' children and providing them with education.

:The lalafell's silver tongue managed to coerce the Nunh to allow this arrangement--given he had few other options. The three were put up in a yurt close to the Nunh's own home to keep an eye on the foreigner.

: In the years that proceeded their youth, the twins were given a proper education by the professor--in between being stolen away to be taught their duties to the Eft. While Yami practiced fighting the other tribal youths, Kari was introduced to herbal medicine, burial rites and how to divinate the future with the practice of bone reading.

: Despite the twins' diligent efforts to hone their skills and fulfill thier tribal roles, they sorely lacked any sort of companionship from the other children of the Eft--having learned from their mother's to be wary of the pale-faced Seekers. Because of this, Nack took it upon herself to try and teach the girls the basic art of carbuncle summoning and passed her own Topaz and Emerald gems down to each of them.

: Demure and plagued with anxiety, E'kari was given Nicholas--Nack's Emerald carbuncle--as a therapy animal; while E'yami received Whackara--a Topaz companion who had enough spunk and energy to keep up with her. Both arcanist-pets has served the Professor faithfully since her own youth and passed without incident into the hands of their new masters.

: As the twins neared their teenage years, an odd habit of E'kari's came to light. She could often be found speaking to the streams, winds and rock-faces in the territory which the tribe found very suspicious. Some of the more superstitious members of the tribe were convinced the was speaking to the dead; the Nunh believed this was some gift from the Warden, proving his right to rule was divine.

: Knowing better than to believe any of that, Nack speculated that this was a hereditary trait, passed down from Sagu'a, who was a Hearer. Once more the professor went to the Nunh and convinced him that he should allow her to take the twins to train abroad in Gridania that they might return more powerful and capable of serving him. He agreed to the idea and within a fortnight Nack brought the girls to the Shroud.

: Once in Gridania, E'kari joined the Conjurer's Guild as a student while E'yami sought training in both lance and bow.

: Though eager to make new friends the Seeker found this was easier said than done. The high populous of Hyur and Elezen looked condescendingly upon the tribal girls. It was not out of the ordinary for the more crude classmates to inquire if her parents were cousins. This trouble fitting in was compounded by the fact she didn't seem to learn at the same rate as everyone else. E'kari would often focus on small details of things, so much so that she could not intake an entire lesson. A classroom setting did her little credit, but during her free moments she would visit the Everschade and commune with the Elementals.

: On one such visit, a strong wind blew a small branch down from the great tree; which, E'kari took and mended with magic that it might be used as a crook.

: Due to her natural affinity for the forest and her difficulty with conventional methods of learning she was taken as a personal apprentice to Master E-Sumi-Yan, a patient Padjal who specialized in the guidance of Hearers. Discovering the trick seemed to be hands-on learning, he took every opportunity to have the Seeker accompany him while he worked. E'kari improved quickly under his tutelage, able to stand as a conjurer in her own right.

: Near the end of the girl's time abroad, the Seventh Umbral Calamity struck. With her guild called to act as medics on the field, the twins soon found themselves on the heels of disaster for the duration of the event. E'kari and her classmates followed the guildmasters into the chaos, assisting those who had been wounded or fallen. E'yami acted as E'kari's personal guard as she preformed field surgeries and magical healing. The two witnessed death up close on more than one occasion, finding themselves changed by the end of it all.

: After all was said and done, the girls' respective masters deemed them both students no longer. And while this was a sweet taste, it was also made bitter by the memories of carnage that now haunted them both.

: The twins returned to their desert territory as heroines who represented their tribe with valor and courage. The Nunh held festivities long into the night.It seemed as though they'd finally been accepted, but neither seemed particularly content with staying within the territory any more--not after all they had been through. Together E'yami and E'kari traveled to the Shrine of the Warden, offering an Eft in a pyre for guidance. When the flesh had melted from the bones, Azeyma's will bid they must go--for they had more to do out in the world. E'kari shared this edict with their people and with heavy hearts, they left again to find and fulfill their duties elsewhere until the time the Warden calls for them to return.

=== '''♦ Behavior ''' ===

 

: E'kari has a hard time learning in a conventional sense often requires an exceedingly patient teacher in order to have any real success. However once she does learn something--or is preforming a task she excels in--she is hard-pressed to be outshined.

: While still generally being good natured and apologetic, in combat E'kari is capable of being a formidable opponent. Being a conjurer she will often take the role of a healer, but her connection to the Elementals has also allowed to take a unique approach to martial arts. The Seeker will often harden a stone skin over her hands and feet while delivering blows, or using gales of wind to enhance her movement speed. She has named her self-made fighting style, "The Golem Step" which emphasizes momentum and fluidity. (Much of her techniques in form are inspired by real world Zui Quan)

: Despite her obvious shortcomings, E'kari is a very hopeful person and goes into every situation with optimism for success, even if she has failed at the task a hundred times before. Sometimes it's the hundred and first try that brings success.

: ● '''[[E'yami Amane]]''' - E'kari's protective fraternal twin sister, older by 7 minutes. E'yami has always been a strong source of strength, comfort and adventure as the two have grown. Though she has a very tomboyish and wears tough outer shell, E'kari knows that her sister is actually very caring and sensitive--always putting the needs of others before herself; and that is what makes her E'kari's hero.

: 💑 '''[[Vektis Sol]]''' - E'kari's boisterous, free-spirited and loveable husband. When they first met she admired his self confidence--often shyly observing him kicking down doors to shout his own name at people. There are few in the world who can raise E'kari's spirits like Vektis can. The two became close friends and then a couple shortly there after. Though many people see his behavior as a nuisance, E'kari celebrates her husband's off-beat mannerisms--unless of course they prove to be dangerous. She loves him to the end of the world and back. The two are married and have two young children together. "Yes, you have been informed correctly. Vektis is, indeed, the bestest." - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[E'kira Sol]]''' - The infant daughter of Vektis and E'kari, also commonly referred to as Kira. This tiny mixed breed of Keeper and Seeker has been though much hardship in her short life. E'kira is the sole survivor of a litter of three, making Vektis and E'kari very protective of her. Regardless of whatever situation she's in, E'kira tends to cry very little. Recently she'd begun learning to walk and talk. Already she has shown the propensity to always be making noise of some sort, just like her father.

: ● '''[[Maxwell Sol]]''' - Born to the Eft tribe--to the name E'rhaja Tia--and orphaned after his sire was defeated and overthrown by another male. E'kari picked up the kitten; she felt a kinship with him for their similar origins. Upon his arrival at Heartwood to the Sol family he was renamed by Vektis and E'kari so he might grow up feeling like he belonged. Now three cycles old, Max is shy, polite and thoughtful. Especially fond of tinkering with small shiny objects and collecting beads, rocks and shells. He has an exceptionally bright mind for a boy his age.

: ● '''[[Nicholas Nack- NPC]]''' - The ever-present summoned companion of E'kari. This carbuncle has been with E'kari throughout the Seeker's entire life as a sort of therapy animal, helping to keep her anxiety in check. With a gem layered with complex geometries: Anabel Nack made it so he and his sister creation--Whackara--could form memories; and with that, personalities. Nick is generally gentle and quiet, with a keen ability to sense people's emotional needs. As such, he tends to gravitate to people whom he suspects need comfort. Nick is aware of his own artificial intellegence and often grapples with his place in the world, as well as the loneliness that comes from his own existence. "Ploo!" - Nick

: ● '''[[Anabel Nack]]''' - Author, scientist, surgeon and parent. This quirky and frightening alchemist is the adopted mother of E'yami and E'kari. Nanabel Nabel by birth, she almost always goes by her pen-name "A.B. 'Nack'". Though her child rearing methods were always questionable at best, the most indisputable fact of it all is that Nack loves both of her girls very much. She is not above employing dark methods to ensure this mad-scientist keeps her loved ones safe. This lalafell's haunting laughter was picked up by E'kari as she was growing up. "Kuhuhuh....." - Anabel Nack

: ● '''[[Conrad Steelsong]]''' - This initially frighteningly large Ala Mhigan is actually the godparent of E'kari and Vektis' young daughter, E'kira. The four of them, as well as No'Ulla Khilik, all take up residence in the same house in the Mist. Conrad has obviously weathered the storm of many conflicts that have hardened his exterior. Despite his gruff demeanor, E'kari finds him to be a wonderful person and the closest thing to a father she's ever known.

: ● '''[[No'Ulla Khilik]]''' - The Ala Mhigan-weaver wife of Conrad Steelsong. She has recently returned from apprenticing in Ishgard to live with the Solsong household. E'kari finds her to be a skilled craftswoman and never tires of hearing about Ulla's special technique of Spell-Weaving. Ulla is a welcome addition to the family--E'kari just hopes that Vektis doesn't scare their new friend off with nonsensical antics.

: ● '''[[Nyscera Alarone]]''' - This mistress of shadowy death is a close friend of the twins' adopted mother. She is considered an aunt to E'kari and E'yami. Early on in E'kari stay at Heartwood, the dragon-riding assassin took E'kari, Bennett and Snowy in as pupils for physical and mental training. While it was grueling and at times crushing, E'kari owes her martial arts ability solely to these lessons. Nyscera taught E'kari the value of teamwork and also her how to be unphased by negative elements in her life.

: ● '''[[Rath Alarone]]''' - Nyscera's aloof husband--and by proxy--the twins' uncle. This applesauce-loving dark knight is the one that hired E'kari to work as the company alchemist--in no small part to do with the potent pain killers she was able to make for him after a fight that nearly ended in his death. He always seems have a joke lined up, even in the most bleak of situations.

: ● '''[[Bennett Cooper]]''' - E'kari's teammate and--since his adoption by Rath and Nyscera Alarone--cousin of sorts. E'kari sees Bennett as the shining future of their free company. While he makes mistakes and has a ways to go before he can truly master any of his arsenal of weapons, E'kari firmly believes this young boy is going to do great things. Could young Master Bennett be a something more than the average fighter...? "Cooper is Super..!" - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[E'vehlke Sohj]]''' - The maternal cousin of E'kari and E'yami. Vehlke is a fearless warrior with a strange accent. As she is a full blood Seeker of the Eft tribe, E'vehlke shares a striking resemblance to the twins' deceased mother.

: ● '''[[Sokhatai Borlaaq]]''' - This huntress is the wife of E'vehlke Sohj. She has a very specific way of talking. E'kari onced picked her brain about adventure and Au'Ra culture. She finds her delightful!

: ● '''[[Reina Sol]]''' - E'kari's half Keeper half Raen sister-in-law. She is the first person from Heartwood that the twins ever met, quickly taking the girls under her wing and giving them a place to stay. It was because of Reina that E'kari met Vektis. E'kari admires Reina as a strong and together person.

: ● '''[[Snowy Sol]]''' - E'kari's full miqo'te sister-in-law. Even before the two were related by marriage, E'kari has had a definite soft spot for this girl-genius in her heart. The two worked together in the clinic for some time, rather closely. In one occasion the two preformed life saving surgery on Vektis. E'kari's only qualm is that she fears this teen might be too relaxed about the dangerous world around her at times--but maybe that's just the anxiety talking.

: ● '''[[Xihvi'ir Valathri]]''' - Xihvi'ir, or 'Ashy' as the others have taken to calling him, is a kindly harp-player that has come into the service of Heartwood. Though E'kari doesn't know of his personal dealings in any intricate regard--other than his past as a gambler--she knows she can trust his character, as he is well loved by Nick. The Keeper has always loaned a helping hand to the company whenever a need arose, for that E'kari finds herself very grateful to her new friend. Though she doesn't know it yet, the two share an unexpected bond in blood.

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#4d0000; font-size:14px; color:#FFFFFF">Friends </div><div style="border:0px solid; padding:8px"> ===

: ● '''[[Sakeru Wakeru]]''' – This unsuspecting looking delivery boy has a dark past under the surface. A time ago, Sakeru divulged a portion of his history to E'kari and a few others. Oddly enough, she ended up trusting him more after learning he was a trained assassin. She was quite sad to see him leave but remembers him fondly. Wherever this lalafell goes two things are a certain: death and dinner. "Did I leave the oven on..?" - Sakeru Wakeru

: ● '''[[Tustin Lafell]]''' - The first moment E'kari saw this lalafell he was being arrested on the free company lawn for the attempted armed robbery. Later when he returned to make his peace with Heartwood the two met and over time became close companions. Tustin's street-savvy, wild and hot-headed demeanor contrasts E'kari's bookish, nervous, awkwardness in a very positive way. This Dunesfolk left Heartwood some time ago to make something of himself out in the world. Since then he has begun studying medicine. He remains, to this day, one of E'kari's most treasured and beloved friends. "I'm not cute! I'm manly as hell!" - Tustin Lafell

: ● '''[[Tynos Riller]]''' - This towering black mage initially greatly frightened E'kari upon their first meeting. Perhaps it was his scar, his serious expression or his sheer size--regardless, she now knows him as a very kind-hearted and family oriented leader. He sacrifices much of himself to keep Heartwood's members safe--and frankly--works too hard. It would be a shock to find him away from the clinic for longer than a month. It's safe to say, E'kari's pharmacy has a special 'Tynos Budget' for the small fortune it takes to keep this misfortune prone Elezen on his feet. "My goodness..! Hurt again, Master Tynos...?" - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[Cioccolato Stella]]''' - Cioccolato, or Lady Cio as E'kari calls her, works as a nurse and aspiring doctor for Heartwood. This charming and kind healer can often be seen sporting pastel colors and traveling around in the company of her Demon Brick, Cenere, which is a close friend of Max. E'kari has always been very fond of this miqo'te since her arrival and is one of the few she trusts to care for Kira and Max in her absence.

: ● '''[[Kaiya Ailbhe]]''' - The librarian, chief of medicine and over-all brains of Heartwood. E'kari admires the patience of this woman but also feels horribly guilty that the actions of her free company have driven Kaiya to take up smoking. Occasionally E'kari will bring Kaiya cinnamon sticks en masse as an attempt to give her something roughly cigarette shaped to hold and suck on. It is unknown if Doctor Ailhbe actually enjoys these or if she is merely humoring E'kari. Hopefully at the very least she is not being driven to smoke those as well...

: ● '''[[Zana Amaro]]''' - An aloof gunslinger and self proclaimed alley-cat. Despite being told not to, E'kari still insists on respectfully referring to this miqo'te as Lady Zana. When this woman is armed and in a foul mood . . . heaven help her target. E'kari has seen Zana rip a man's arm clean off. However Zana does also have a soft side. When E'kari was gravely injured in an attempt on her life, Zana stationed herself in the clinic to watch over her.

: ● '''[[Moralee Relen]]''' - Known to E'kari as "Mordry". This Au'Ra woman is rather complex for many reasons. Regardless E'kari cares greatly about Moralee and Mora in equal measure--although Mordry's "Moralee-half" is more familiar to her. Some time ago Mordry required E'kari's help with a somewhat risky task. This evoked the ire of her usually perpetually cheerful husband. Vektis has yet to forgive Mordry to this day, which fills the Seeker with guilt and remorse. However, because of that mission, E'kari learned how to brew a special and ancient potion she dubbed, "The Draught of the Dreamwalker".

: ● '''[[Neville Synch]]''' - This good natured marksman is the mate of Zana Amaro and the best friend of E'yami Amane. Over the period she has known him, this man has done a lot for E'kari's family which she could never repay. Though she does not know him too well personally she trusts him fully regardless. She always gets a chuckle out of the banter between Neville and Vektis.

: ● '''[[Vahn Quietfury]]''' - A sweet little boy with a curious connection to an elder dragon. E'kari first met the half lalafell on a caravan mission that was attacked. In the absence of his own mother, the Seeker would often look after Vahn when his father was away. One day when Vahn was playing with some of the other boys in the company yard he exhibited dangerous abilities. He and his father were sent away for the potential danger they posed. E'kari still loves Vahn like a son.

: ● '''[[Brandon Stormstrider]]''' - The Hyur father of Vahn Quietfury. E'kari met Brandon a short time after Vahn. The two became close friends, as the miqo'te was one of the few Heartwood members Brandon trusted. She would often do simple favors for the father and son to make their lives easier such as cleaning or bringing home pineapples. Upon their leaving to a new safehaven the Seeker found herself deeply saddend, however Brandon still sneaks over to the company on occasion. Brandon has placed E'kari under the protection of his men known only as "The Rogues".

: ● '''[[Enkhjargal Dalamiq]]''' - This stoic summoner is actually E'kari's master. He took her under his wing when she first arrived to Heartwood and had to terrorize her into being able to use her magic for anything beyond healing. His methods worked and looking back, E'kari owes him all of the strength she possesses now. Beyond that, she thinks he is a wonderful person who has natural ability with children. Who knew!

: ● '''[[Camille Everardi]]''' - Camille is Enkhjargal Dalamiq's wife and a talented mage, among many other things. E'kari has seen Camille fight in more than one way in the past with spars. She found this woman to be a strong female rolemodel for her in the past when she was just learning to fight--and still looks up to her to this day. E'kari couldn't be happier that her master and friend found happiness in each other's company.

: ● '''[[Chokho Viqqoh]]''' - A fierce, fiery and loyal amnesiac-Keeper who recently joined Heartwood. Since her arrival, Chokho and E'kari have become fast friends; bonding over their shared love of martial arts and string instruments. Though the two differ greatly in temperament and personality they have a shared respect for one another.

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#4d0000;font-size:14px;color:#FFFFFF;">Acquaintances</div><div style="border:0px solid; padding:8px">===

: ● '''[[Narumi Kotokaze]]''' - More commonly referred to as "Kota". E'kari met this Maelstrom affiliated bounty hunter on the road when she was set upon by highwaymen--which Kota easily dispatched. Since then the Raen has been promoted to first lieutenant of the Storm-guard and assigned to work as the handler of the former pirate Skyfwyb. The officer comissions her medicine from E'kari's "Alchemist's Alley". 

:● '''[[Nevrynn Alarone]]''' - While E'kari initially mistrusted the Seeker for his roguish persona and wanderlust, in resent months she has come to warm up to her sister's mate. Though she may not know him as well as she might like, he makes her sister happy. And the affection between the two are plain to see.

: ● '''[[Jake Jakkya]]''' - A red-lenses wearing void-mage who has spent a great deal of his life as a pit fighter. This spellsword is particularly close to E'kari's adopted mother, Nack, which makes him a brother of sorts. E'kari sorely wishes he would be less devil-may-care in demeanor at times, or at least care a bit more about his own life. She's always pleased when he pops up unharmed now and again. This former criminal has been blacklisted from Heartwood for his criminal debts to the Syndicate--though he has since paid them back in full, becoming an ally to the group.

: ● '''[[Ash Valken]]''' - The tall, brooding brother of Nyscera who has a strong dislike for Rath. E'kari met this former bandit spying on her a few times. Eventually the two had a sit-down conversation and became close--which was a new thing for the Au'Ra. E'kari taught Ash how to play a grasswhistle, fixed his broken hearing-aid and engaged in a playful spar. Somehow, in one way or another, most of their interactions end in awkward sexual-tension. The day Ash left Heartwood, E'kari gave him a necklace made from a strap of her doctor's bag to remember her by and encouraged him to follow his dreams.

: ● '''[[Akiyuki Okuma]]''' - The large, quiet, but overall pleasant husband of Cio who has joined Heartwood since his marriage to the plucky, pastel nursemaid. This reserved Au'Ra is a welcome addition to the family.

: ● '''[[Kenoni Eien’no]]''' - The betrothed of her friend Moralee. A stern and stoic acquaintance but never the less, E'kari admires his loyalty and commitment to Mordry. She hopes the two will have a wonderful life together with their child.

: ● '''[[J'edite Shedai]]''' - A fellow enthusiast of martial arts that spends most of her time roaming Thanalan seeking glory for the Jackal tribe. The two have had run-ins here and there as J'edite was on hunts and once sparred under the Sultan tree. The Seekers employ very different styles of their own making: while E'kari fights with her heavy handed "Golem Step" ideal for doing battle with armed and armored foes; J'edite uses fast kicks transitioning into fluid jabs in her "Fire Dancer" style that proves to be the bane of slower opponents. As it stands the two are friendly rivals.

: ● '''[[Alpon Adpon]]''' - The Pink Punisher! E'kari has met this "battle-chef" in passing more than once. The lalafell's skill in combat seems to rival his culinary prowess.

: ● '''[[Namaka Ebisu]]''' - A strange and sweet water-sprite who lives in a fountain. You want tree slugs? Because this is how you get tree slugs.

: ● '''[[Alistar Stormfist]]''' - Found by Heartwood on the road to Little Ala Mhigo, this former Garlean slave was near death and wearing a magitek collar. With no where else to go and no life to return to, this gentle giant returned with the caravan to the Heartwood Homestead.

: ● '''[[Lucinda Kovix]]''' - This kindly and capable, Ishgardian drifter met Doctor Sol as she was returning from conversing with the Everschade and her husband's chocobo ran off. Lucinda and E'kari worked together to catch the bird and got to talking about Lucy's need for work and also to find her missing brother. The Miqo'te has since come to stay at Heartwood which has overjoyed E'kari.

: ● '''[[L'nela Varya]]''' - A one-eyed woman who really enjoys taking a bite out of life! In all seriousness--L'nela is a chipper and quirky person. A little emotional at times, but rightfully so; as her recent years have been filled with trauma. Both physical and emotional. Careful, she likes to nibble!
 

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#4d0000;font-size:14px;color:#FFFFFF;">Disliked</div><div style="border:0px solid; padding:8px">===

:● '''[[Tharl Oom Khash - NPC]]''' - A being made of corruption who takes his name from his place of creation. While to most guardians of the Shroud he would be a natural enemy anyway--this thing has taken a special and terrible shine to tormenting E'kari and all of Heartwood. His track record of terrible deeds is staggering and body count ever on the rise. His most memorable in E'kari's mind were her children, Sagu'a and Cize. The vengeful mother aided in his demise by pummeling him with special stones--from Tynos and Kaiya--she formed into barbaric gauntlets.


:● '''[[The Pumpking - NPC]]''' - This strange and otherwordly being was initially just an unsettling presence that occasionally appeared in the Heartwood halls offering bargains for steep moral prices. It was not until this squash-headed man manipulated Tustin Lafell into a contract that he became E'kari's enemy. The Seeker used excessive force against the entitiy, beating him into a puddle of black ooze. He has since returned to haunt Heartwood, though has stifled a sum of E'kari's animosity toward him by fixing her carbuncle's shattered gem and helping finish off Khash for good.

:● '''[[Skyfwyb Aergankawyn]]''' - E'kari was not fond of this woman from the start. The monsterous Seawolf had committed crimes against Heartwood on numerous occasions. E'kari was glad to hear of her sting and arrest by the Maelstrom. In the time that has followed, however, the curt and belligerent captain seems to have changed her ways to some extent. E'kari now views her slightly more favorably after having witnessed Skyfwyb's capacity to care genuinely for another person. It was also by the aid of this former pirate that the Solsong household was able to cross the sea to the east. As it stands now they are allies.

== <div style="padding:10px 15px; background:#4d0000; font-size:20px; color:#ffffff">'''Character Trivia'''</div>==
 
:■ E'kari refers to people as 'master' or 'lady' because as a young newcomer to Gridania she was hazed by the local youths told that it was how non-tribal people spoke to one another. Excited to make 'friends' the Seeker picked this up almost immediately. It was not until this was an ingrained habit that she learned it was all a ruse for E'kari to make a fool of herself every time she spoke.
:■ Despite the skill not coming up particularly often, E'kari is adept at Thavnarian belly-dancing. This and many similar styles of celebratory dance were used among she and her kin in their tribal lands; though this is actually not their people's only connection to the middle east. The dress style, use of Alchemy and herbal medicines, even their taste in food has been greatly influenced by trade with Thavnaire, much like many others who reside in Thanalan.
:■ Due to E'kari's heavy aspection to Earth she is notoriously difficult to knock off her feet and has immense stamina; adversely, she is not as quick as she'd like to be and swimming in deep water takes a significant amount of energy.
:■ Though most are unaware--or attribute some of her mannerisms to merely being quirky--E'kari actually suffers from high functioning autism. Social queues tend to be her biggest hurdle, along with focusing on the big picture of tasks as opposed to minuet details, and sorting out painful emotions.

<div>
=== '''♦ General''' ===
<hr>
 
: (This page has recently undergone a major rework! Check it out if you want to know what has changed!)
: This overly polite and apologetic medicine-woman can often be found scuttling about making deliveries for her shop. Due to her diligent work, E'kari's Alchemist Alley has become one of the Alchemist Guild's favored subsidiaries and is frequently called upon to do business in Little Ala Mhigo as a representative of their organization. <div>
 



=== '''♦ Appearance''' ===
<hr>
 

: E'kari is a Seeker/Keeper half-breed who carries some physical traits from her mother and father. Her eyes are narrow slit-pupils, skin pale but capable of bronzing in the sun like a Seeker; though her fur is fluffy and tail is long like a Keeper.

: This miqo'te has a snow-print mane--white with undertones if black and grey--with pale blue eyes and bangle-stripes that frame her face.

: In true mage form--E'kari can usually be found in little to no armor, even when going into battle. It slows her down in preforming martial arts and also disrupts her casting to wear anything too heavy. Instead she prefers comfortable robes or her labcoat. <div>
 



=== '''♦ History ''' ===
<hr>
 
: The parentage of E'yami and E'kari is a taboo matter. One that the Nunh of the Eft ordered upon the strictest of penalty, never to be spoken of. While their mother--E'yari--was a Seeker and one of the designated breeding females to the Nunh; their father--Sagu'a--was actually a roving Keeper who had long since left behind a subservient life with his maternal-family in the Shroud to be a traveling poet, minstrel and anthropologist. The two Miqo'te met when Sagu'a and his scholarly lalafell companion, Anabel Nack, sought a place to rest during their travels. The tribe apprehensively took the researchers in as temporary guests. In that time Sagu'a and E'yari began a secret relationship.

:When it came to light that the two had been together Sagu'a was put to death, and his body unceremoniously left to rot in the heat of the desert just outside of their territory.

: In a double blow, not only was E'yari stricken with grief, but she also discovered she was pregnant. Due to a combination of her melancholy of her lost love, the despair at what her life would be at the whims of her Nunh and complications during the birthing process--E'yari died shortly after her second kit was delivered. The last words she managed to speak before slipping away were the names of her children. Both Doman, in honor of their father who fancied the culture. Yami, meaning dark, and Hikari meaning light--though the midwives were unfamiliar with the tongue, mistaking it simply for /E/kari.

: Upon the twins' birth into the Eft--as per tradition--the clan made a ceremonial offering of their namesake to Azeyma that would determine their role in the tribe. When the flesh was melted from the bones,their appointed wise-woman had determined E'kari was to be the next shaman while E'yami's bones were an augury that she was preordained to be a great warrior.

: The Nunh was pleased by the news and demanded celebration, but found that the females of the tribe were not nearly as thrilled. Many believed that the pale-faced kits with hair of black and white were cursed; killing their mother with ill-omen. Nack took this opportunity to offer her services in raising her friends' children and providing them with education.

:The lalafell's silver tongue managed to coerce the Nunh to allow this arrangement--given he had few other options. The three were put up in a yurt close to the Nunh's own home to keep an eye on the foreigner.

: In the years that proceeded their youth, the twins were given a proper education by the professor--in between being stolen away to be taught their duties to the Eft. While Yami practiced fighting the other tribal youths, Kari was introduced to herbal medicine, burial rites and how to divinate the future with the practice of bone reading.

: Despite the twins' diligent efforts to hone their skills and fulfill thier tribal roles, they sorely lacked any sort of companionship from the other children of the Eft--having learned from their mother's to be wary of the pale-faced Seekers. Because of this, Nack took it upon herself to try and teach the girls the basic art of carbuncle summoning and passed her own Topaz and Emerald gems down to each of them.

: Demure and plagued with anxiety, E'kari was given Nicholas--Nack's Emerald carbuncle--as a therapy animal; while E'yami received Whackara--a Topaz companion who had enough spunk and energy to keep up with her. Both arcanist-pets has served the Professor faithfully since her own youth and passed without incident into the hands of their new masters.

: As the twins neared their teenage years, an odd habit of E'kari's came to light. She could often be found speaking to the streams, winds and rock-faces in the territory which the tribe found very suspicious. Some of the more superstitious members of the tribe were convinced the was speaking to the dead; the Nunh believed this was some gift from the Warden, proving his right to rule was divine.

: Knowing better than to believe any of that, Nack speculated that this was a hereditary trait, passed down from Sagu'a, who was a Hearer. Once more the professor went to the Nunh and convinced him that he should allow her to take the twins to train abroad in Gridania that they might return more powerful and capable of serving him. He agreed to the idea and within a fortnight Nack brought the girls to the Shroud.

: Once in Gridania, E'kari joined the Conjurer's Guild as a student while E'yami sought training in both lance and bow.

: Though eager to make new friends the Seeker found this was easier said than done. The high populous of Hyur and Elezen looked condescendingly upon the tribal girls. It was not out of the ordinary for the more crude classmates to inquire if her parents were cousins. This trouble fitting in was compounded by the fact she didn't seem to learn at the same rate as everyone else. E'kari would often focus on small details of things, so much so that she could not intake an entire lesson. A classroom setting did her little credit, but during her free moments she would visit the Everschade and commune with the Elementals.

: On one such visit, a strong wind blew a small branch down from the great tree; which, E'kari took and mended with magic that it might be used as a crook.

: Due to her natural affinity for the forest and her difficulty with conventional methods of learning she was taken as a personal apprentice to Master E-Sumi-Yan, a patient Padjal who specialized in the guidance of Hearers. Discovering the trick seemed to be hands-on learning, he took every opportunity to have the Seeker accompany him while he worked. E'kari improved quickly under his tutelage, able to stand as a conjurer in her own right.

: Near the end of the girl's time abroad, the Seventh Umbral Calamity struck. With her guild called to act as medics on the field, the twins soon found themselves on the heels of disaster for the duration of the event. E'kari and her classmates followed the guildmasters into the chaos, assisting those who had been wounded or fallen. E'yami acted as E'kari's personal guard as she preformed field surgeries and magical healing. The two witnessed death up close on more than one occasion, finding themselves changed by the end of it all.

: After all was said and done, the girls' respective masters deemed them both students no longer. And while this was a sweet taste, it was also made bitter by the memories of carnage that now haunted them both.

: The twins returned to their desert territory as heroines who represented their tribe with valor and courage. The Nunh held festivities long into the night.It seemed as though they'd finally been accepted, but neither seemed particularly content with staying within the territory any more--not after all they had been through. Together E'yami and E'kari traveled to the Shrine of the Warden, offering an Eft in a pyre for guidance. When the flesh had melted from the bones, Azeyma's will bid they must go--for they had more to do out in the world. E'kari shared this edict with their people and with heavy hearts, they left again to find and fulfill their duties elsewhere until the time the Warden calls for them to return.

=== '''♦ Behavior ''' ===

 

: E'kari has a hard time learning in a conventional sense often requires an exceedingly patient teacher in order to have any real success. However once she does learn something--or is preforming a task she excels in--she is hard-pressed to be outshined.

: While still generally being good natured and apologetic, in combat E'kari is capable of being a formidable opponent. Being a conjurer she will often take the role of a healer, but her connection to the Elementals has also allowed to take a unique approach to martial arts. The Seeker will often harden a stone skin over her hands and feet while delivering blows, or using gales of wind to enhance her movement speed. She has named her self-made fighting style, "The Golem Step" which emphasizes momentum and fluidity. (Much of her techniques in form are inspired by real world Zui Quan)

: Despite her obvious shortcomings, E'kari is a very hopeful person and goes into every situation with optimism for success, even if she has failed at the task a hundred times before. Sometimes it's the hundred and first try that brings success.

: ● '''[[E'yami Amane]]''' - E'kari's protective fraternal twin sister, older by 7 minutes. E'yami has always been a strong source of strength, comfort and adventure as the two have grown. Though she has a very tomboyish and wears tough outer shell, E'kari knows that her sister is actually very caring and sensitive--always putting the needs of others before herself; and that is what makes her E'kari's hero.

: 💑 '''[[Vektis Sol]]''' - E'kari's boisterous, free-spirited and loveable husband. When they first met she admired his self confidence--often shyly observing him kicking down doors to shout his own name at people. There are few in the world who can raise E'kari's spirits like Vektis can. The two became close friends and then a couple shortly there after. Though many people see his behavior as a nuisance, E'kari celebrates her husband's off-beat mannerisms--unless of course they prove to be dangerous. She loves him to the end of the world and back. The two are married and have two young children together. "Yes, you have been informed correctly. Vektis is, indeed, the bestest." - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[E'kira Sol]]''' - The infant daughter of Vektis and E'kari, also commonly referred to as Kira. This tiny mixed breed of Keeper and Seeker has been though much hardship in her short life. E'kira is the sole survivor of a litter of three, making Vektis and E'kari very protective of her. Regardless of whatever situation she's in, E'kira tends to cry very little. Recently she'd begun learning to walk and talk. Already she has shown the propensity to always be making noise of some sort, just like her father.

: ● '''[[Maxwell Sol]]''' - Born to the Eft tribe--to the name E'rhaja Tia--and orphaned after his sire was defeated and overthrown by another male. E'kari picked up the kitten; she felt a kinship with him for their similar origins. Upon his arrival at Heartwood to the Sol family he was renamed by Vektis and E'kari so he might grow up feeling like he belonged. Now three cycles old, Max is shy, polite and thoughtful. Especially fond of tinkering with small shiny objects and collecting beads, rocks and shells. He has an exceptionally bright mind for a boy his age.

: ● '''[[Nicholas Nack- NPC]]''' - The ever-present summoned companion of E'kari. This carbuncle has been with E'kari throughout the Seeker's entire life as a sort of therapy animal, helping to keep her anxiety in check. With a gem layered with complex geometries: Anabel Nack made it so he and his sister creation--Whackara--could form memories; and with that, personalities. Nick is generally gentle and quiet, with a keen ability to sense people's emotional needs. As such, he tends to gravitate to people whom he suspects need comfort. Nick is aware of his own artificial intellegence and often grapples with his place in the world, as well as the loneliness that comes from his own existence. "Ploo!" - Nick

: ● '''[[Anabel Nack]]''' - Author, scientist, surgeon and parent. This quirky and frightening alchemist is the adopted mother of E'yami and E'kari. Nanabel Nabel by birth, she almost always goes by her pen-name "A.B. 'Nack'". Though her child rearing methods were always questionable at best, the most indisputable fact of it all is that Nack loves both of her girls very much. She is not above employing dark methods to ensure this mad-scientist keeps her loved ones safe. This lalafell's haunting laughter was picked up by E'kari as she was growing up. "Kuhuhuh....." - Anabel Nack

: ● '''[[Conrad Steelsong]]''' - This initially frighteningly large Ala Mhigan is actually the godparent of E'kari and Vektis' young daughter, E'kira. The four of them, as well as No'Ulla Khilik, all take up residence in the same house in the Mist. Conrad has obviously weathered the storm of many conflicts that have hardened his exterior. Despite his gruff demeanor, E'kari finds him to be a wonderful person and the closest thing to a father she's ever known.

: ● '''[[No'Ulla Khilik]]''' - The Ala Mhigan-weaver wife of Conrad Steelsong. She has recently returned from apprenticing in Ishgard to live with the Solsong household. E'kari finds her to be a skilled craftswoman and never tires of hearing about Ulla's special technique of Spell-Weaving. Ulla is a welcome addition to the family--E'kari just hopes that Vektis doesn't scare their new friend off with nonsensical antics.

: ● '''[[Nyscera Alarone]]''' - This mistress of shadowy death is a close friend of the twins' adopted mother. She is considered an aunt to E'kari and E'yami. Early on in E'kari stay at Heartwood, the dragon-riding assassin took E'kari, Bennett and Snowy in as pupils for physical and mental training. While it was grueling and at times crushing, E'kari owes her martial arts ability solely to these lessons. Nyscera taught E'kari the value of teamwork and also her how to be unphased by negative elements in her life.

: ● '''[[Rath Alarone]]''' - Nyscera's aloof husband--and by proxy--the twins' uncle. This applesauce-loving dark knight is the one that hired E'kari to work as the company alchemist--in no small part to do with the potent pain killers she was able to make for him after a fight that nearly ended in his death. He always seems have a joke lined up, even in the most bleak of situations.

: ● '''[[Bennett Cooper]]''' - E'kari's teammate and--since his adoption by Rath and Nyscera Alarone--cousin of sorts. E'kari sees Bennett as the shining future of their free company. While he makes mistakes and has a ways to go before he can truly master any of his arsenal of weapons, E'kari firmly believes this young boy is going to do great things. Could young Master Bennett be a something more than the average fighter...? "Cooper is Super..!" - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[E'vehlke Sohj]]''' - The maternal cousin of E'kari and E'yami. Vehlke is a fearless warrior with a strange accent. As she is a full blood Seeker of the Eft tribe, E'vehlke shares a striking resemblance to the twins' deceased mother.

: ● '''[[Sokhatai Borlaaq]]''' - This huntress is the wife of E'vehlke Sohj. She has a very specific way of talking. E'kari onced picked her brain about adventure and Au'Ra culture. She finds her delightful!

: ● '''[[Reina Sol]]''' - E'kari's half Keeper half Raen sister-in-law. She is the first person from Heartwood that the twins ever met, quickly taking the girls under her wing and giving them a place to stay. It was because of Reina that E'kari met Vektis. E'kari admires Reina as a strong and together person.

: ● '''[[Snowy Sol]]''' - E'kari's full miqo'te sister-in-law. Even before the two were related by marriage, E'kari has had a definite soft spot for this girl-genius in her heart. The two worked together in the clinic for some time, rather closely. In one occasion the two preformed life saving surgery on Vektis. E'kari's only qualm is that she fears this teen might be too relaxed about the dangerous world around her at times--but maybe that's just the anxiety talking.

: ● '''[[Xihvi'ir Valathri]]''' - Xihvi'ir, or 'Ashy' as the others have taken to calling him, is a kindly harp-player that has come into the service of Heartwood. Though E'kari doesn't know of his personal dealings in any intricate regard--other than his past as a gambler--she knows she can trust his character, as he is well loved by Nick. The Keeper has always loaned a helping hand to the company whenever a need arose, for that E'kari finds herself very grateful to her new friend. Though she doesn't know it yet, the two share an unexpected bond in blood.

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#4d0000; font-size:14px; color:#FFFFFF">Friends </div><div style="border:0px solid; padding:8px"> ===

: ● '''[[Sakeru Wakeru]]''' – This unsuspecting looking delivery boy has a dark past under the surface. A time ago, Sakeru divulged a portion of his history to E'kari and a few others. Oddly enough, she ended up trusting him more after learning he was a trained assassin. She was quite sad to see him leave but remembers him fondly. Wherever this lalafell goes two things are a certain: death and dinner. "Did I leave the oven on..?" - Sakeru Wakeru

: ● '''[[Tustin Lafell]]''' - The first moment E'kari saw this lalafell he was being arrested on the free company lawn for the attempted armed robbery. Later when he returned to make his peace with Heartwood the two met and over time became close companions. Tustin's street-savvy, wild and hot-headed demeanor contrasts E'kari's bookish, nervous, awkwardness in a very positive way. This Dunesfolk left Heartwood some time ago to make something of himself out in the world. Since then he has begun studying medicine. He remains, to this day, one of E'kari's most treasured and beloved friends. "I'm not cute! I'm manly as hell!" - Tustin Lafell

: ● '''[[Tynos Riller]]''' - This towering black mage initially greatly frightened E'kari upon their first meeting. Perhaps it was his scar, his serious expression or his sheer size--regardless, she now knows him as a very kind-hearted and family oriented leader. He sacrifices much of himself to keep Heartwood's members safe--and frankly--works too hard. It would be a shock to find him away from the clinic for longer than a month. It's safe to say, E'kari's pharmacy has a special 'Tynos Budget' for the small fortune it takes to keep this misfortune prone Elezen on his feet. "My goodness..! Hurt again, Master Tynos...?" - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[Cioccolato Stella]]''' - Cioccolato, or Lady Cio as E'kari calls her, works as a maid and nanny in the Sol-Godsbane household. This charming and kind healer can often be seen sporting pastel colors and traveling around in the company of her Demon Brick, Cenere, which is a close friend of Max. E'kari has always been very fond of this miqo'te since her arrival and is one of the few she trusts to care for Kira and Max in her absence.

: ● '''[[Kaiya Ailbhe]]''' - The librarian, chief of medicine and over-all brains of Heartwood. E'kari admires the patience of this woman but also feels horribly guilty that the actions of her free company have driven Kaiya to take up smoking. Occasionally E'kari will bring Kaiya cinnamon sticks en masse as an attempt to give her something roughly cigarette shaped to hold and suck on. It is unknown if Doctor Ailhbe actually enjoys these or if she is merely humoring E'kari. Hopefully at the very least she is not being driven to smoke those as well...

: ● '''[[Zana Amaro]]''' - An aloof gunslinger and self proclaimed alley-cat. Despite being told not to, E'kari still insists on respectfully referring to this miqo'te as Lady Zana. When this woman is armed and in a foul mood . . . heaven help her target. E'kari has seen Zana rip a man's arm clean off. However Zana does also have a soft side. When E'kari was gravely injured in an attempt on her life, Zana stationed herself in the clinic to watch over her.

: ● '''[[Moralee Relen]]''' - Known to E'kari as "Mordry". This Au'Ra woman is rather complex for many reasons. Regardless E'kari cares greatly about Moralee and Mora in equal measure--although Mordry's "Moralee-half" is more familiar to her. Some time ago Mordry required E'kari's help with a somewhat risky task. This evoked the ire of her usually perpetually cheerful husband. Vektis has yet to forgive Mordry to this day, which fills the Seeker with guilt and remorse. However, because of that mission, E'kari learned how to brew a special and ancient potion she dubbed, "The Draught of the Dreamwalker".

: ● '''[[Neville Synch]]''' - This good natured marksman is the mate of Zana Amaro and the best friend of E'yami Amane. Over the period she has known him, this man has done a lot for E'kari's family which she could never repay. Though she does not know him too well personally she trusts him fully regardless. She always gets a chuckle out of the banter between Neville and Vektis.

: ● '''[[Vahn Quietfury]]''' - A sweet little boy with a curious connection to an elder dragon. E'kari first met the half lalafell on a caravan mission that was attacked. In the absence of his own mother, the Seeker would often look after Vahn when his father was away. One day when Vahn was playing with some of the other boys in the company yard he exhibited dangerous abilities. He and his father were sent away for the potential danger they posed. E'kari still loves Vahn like a son.

: ● '''[[Brandon Stormstrider]]''' - The Hyur father of Vahn Quietfury. E'kari met Brandon a short time after Vahn. The two became close friends, as the miqo'te was one of the few Heartwood members Brandon trusted. She would often do simple favors for the father and son to make their lives easier such as cleaning or bringing home pineapples. Upon their leaving to a new safehaven the Seeker found herself deeply saddend, however Brandon still sneaks over to the company on occasion. Brandon has placed E'kari under the protection of his men known only as "The Rogues".

: ● '''[[Enkhjargal Dalamiq]]''' - This stoic summoner is actually E'kari's master. He took her under his wing when she first arrived to Heartwood and had to terrorize her into being able to use her magic for anything beyond healing. His methods worked and looking back, E'kari owes him all of the strength she possesses now. Beyond that, she thinks he is a wonderful person who has natural ability with children. Who knew!

: ● '''[[Camille Everardi]]''' - Camille is Enkhjargal Dalamiq's wife and a talented mage, among many other things. E'kari has seen Camille fight in more than one way in the past with spars. She found this woman to be a strong female rolemodel for her in the past when she was just learning to fight--and still looks up to her to this day. E'kari couldn't be happier that her master and friend found happiness in each other's company.

: ● '''[[Chokho Viqqoh]]''' - A fierce, fiery and loyal amnesiac-Keeper who recently joined Heartwood. Since her arrival, Chokho and E'kari have become fast friends; bonding over their shared love of martial arts and string instruments. Though the two differ greatly in temperament and personality they have a shared respect for one another.

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#4d0000;font-size:14px;color:#FFFFFF;">Acquaintances</div><div style="border:0px solid; padding:8px">===

: ● '''[[Narumi Kotokaze]]''' - More commonly referred to as "Kota". E'kari met this Maelstrom affiliated bounty hunter on the road when she was set upon by highwaymen--which Kota easily dispatched. Since then the Raen has been promoted to first lieutenant of the Storm-guard and assigned to work as the handler of the former pirate Skyfwyb. The officer comissions her medicine from E'kari's "Alchemist's Alley". 

:● '''[[Nevrynn Alarone]]''' - While E'kari initially mistrusted the Seeker for his roguish persona and wanderlust, in resent months she has come to warm up to her sister's mate. Though she may not know him as well as she might like, he makes her sister happy. And the affection between the two are plain to see.

: ● '''[[Jake Jakkya]]''' - A red-lenses wearing void-mage who has spent a great deal of his life as a pit fighter. This spellsword is particularly close to E'kari's adopted mother, Nack, which makes him a brother of sorts. E'kari sorely wishes he would be less devil-may-care in demeanor at times, or at least care a bit more about his own life. She's always pleased when he pops up unharmed now and again. This former criminal has been blacklisted from Heartwood for his criminal debts to the Syndicate--though he has since paid them back in full, becoming an ally to the group.

: ● '''[[Ash Valken]]''' - The tall, brooding brother of Nyscera who has a strong dislike for Rath. E'kari met this former bandit spying on her a few times. Eventually the two had a sit-down conversation and became close--which was a new thing for the Au'Ra. E'kari taught Ash how to play a grasswhistle, fixed his broken hearing-aid and engaged in a playful spar. Somehow, in one way or another, most of their interactions end in awkward sexual-tension. The day Ash left Heartwood, E'kari gave him a necklace made from a strap of her doctor's bag to remember her by and encouraged him to follow his dreams.

: ● '''[[Akiyuki Okuma]]''' - The large, quiet, but overall pleasant husband of Cio who has joined Heartwood since his marriage to the plucky, pastel nursemaid. This reserved Au'Ra is a welcome addition to the family.

: ● '''[[Kenoni Eien’no]]''' - The betrothed of her friend Moralee. A stern and stoic acquaintance but never the less, E'kari admires his loyalty and commitment to Mordry. She hopes the two will have a wonderful life together with their child.

: ● '''[[J'edite Shedai]]''' - A fellow enthusiast of martial arts that spends most of her time roaming Thanalan seeking glory for the Jackal tribe. The two have had run-ins here and there as J'edite was on hunts and once sparred under the Sultan tree. The Seekers employ very different styles of their own making: while E'kari fights with her heavy handed "Golem Step" ideal for doing battle with armed and armored foes; J'edite uses fast kicks transitioning into fluid jabs in her "Fire Dancer" style that proves to be the bane of slower opponents. As it stands the two are friendly rivals.

: ● '''[[Alpon Adpon]]''' - The Pink Punisher! E'kari has met this "battle-chef" in passing more than once. The lalafell's skill in combat seems to rival his culinary prowess.

: ● '''[[Namaka Ebisu]]''' - A strange and sweet water-sprite who lives in a fountain. You want tree slugs? Because this is how you get tree slugs.

: ● '''[[Alistar Stormfist]]''' - Found by Heartwood on the road to Little Ala Mhigo, this former Garlean slave was near death and wearing a magitek collar. With no where else to go and no life to return to, this gentle giant returned with the caravan to the Heartwood Homestead.

: ● '''[[Lucinda Kovix]]''' - This kindly and capable, Ishgardian drifter met Doctor Sol as she was returning from conversing with the Everschade and her husband's chocobo ran off. Lucinda and E'kari worked together to catch the bird and got to talking about Lucy's need for work and also to find her missing brother. The Miqo'te has since come to stay at Heartwood which has overjoyed E'kari.

: ● '''[[L'nela Varya]]''' - A one-eyed woman who really enjoys taking a bite out of life! In all seriousness--L'nela is a chipper and quirky person. A little emotional at times, but rightfully so; as her recent years have been filled with trauma. Both physical and emotional. Careful, she likes to nibble!
 

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#4d0000;font-size:14px;color:#FFFFFF;">Disliked</div><div style="border:0px solid; padding:8px">===

:● '''[[Tharl Oom Khash - NPC]]''' - A being made of corruption who takes his name from his place of creation. While to most guardians of the Shroud he would be a natural enemy anyway--this thing has taken a special and terrible shine to tormenting E'kari and all of Heartwood. His track record of terrible deeds is staggering and body count ever on the rise. His most memorable in E'kari's mind were her children, Sagu'a and Cize. The vengeful mother aided in his demise by pummeling him with special stones--from Tynos and Kaiya--she formed into barbaric gauntlets.


:● '''[[The Pumpking - NPC]]''' - This strange and otherwordly being was initially just an unsettling presence that occasionally appeared in the Heartwood halls offering bargains for steep moral prices. It was not until this squash-headed man manipulated Tustin Lafell into a contract that he became E'kari's enemy. The Seeker used excessive force against the entitiy, beating him into a puddle of black ooze. He has since returned to haunt Heartwood, though has stifled a sum of E'kari's animosity toward him by fixing her carbuncle's shattered gem and helping finish off Khash for good.

:● '''[[Skyfwyb Aergankawyn]]''' - E'kari was not fond of this woman from the start. The monsterous Seawolf had committed crimes against Heartwood on numerous occasions. E'kari was glad to hear of her sting and arrest by the Maelstrom. In the time that has followed, however, the curt and belligerent captain seems to have changed her ways to some extent. E'kari now views her slightly more favorably after having witnessed Skyfwyb's capacity to care genuinely for another person. It was also by the aid of this former pirate that the Solsong household was able to cross the sea to the east. As it stands now they are allies.

== <div style="padding:10px 15px; background:#4d0000; font-size:20px; color:#ffffff">'''Character Trivia'''</div>==
 
:■ E'kari refers to people as 'master' or 'lady' because as a young newcomer to Gridania she was hazed by the local youths told that it was how non-tribal people spoke to one another. Excited to make 'friends' the Seeker picked this up almost immediately. It was not until this was an ingrained habit that she learned it was all a ruse for E'kari to make a fool of herself every time she spoke.
:■ Despite the skill not coming up particularly often, E'kari is adept at Thavnarian belly-dancing. This and many similar styles of celebratory dance were used among she and her kin in their tribal lands; though this is actually not their people's only connection to the middle east. The dress style, use of Alchemy and herbal medicines, even their taste in food has been greatly influenced by trade with Thavnaire, much like many others who reside in Thanalan.
:■ Due to E'kari's heavy aspection to Earth she is notoriously difficult to knock off her feet and has immense stamina; adversely, she is not as quick as she'd like to be and swimming in deep water takes a significant amount of energy.
:■ Though most are unaware--or attribute some of her mannerisms to merely being quirky--E'kari actually suffers from high functioning autism. Social queues tend to be her biggest hurdle, along with focusing on the big picture of tasks as opposed to minuet details, and sorting out painful emotions.

<div>
=== '''♦ General''' ===
<hr>
 
: (This page has recently undergone a major rework! Check it out if you want to know what has changed!)
: This overly polite and apologetic medicine-woman can often be found scuttling about making deliveries for her shop. Due to her diligent work, E'kari's Alchemist Alley has become one of the Alchemist Guild's favored subsidiaries and is frequently called upon to do business in Little Ala Mhigo as a representative of their organization. <div>
 



=== '''♦ Appearance''' ===
<hr>
 

: E'kari is a Seeker/Keeper half-breed who carries some physical traits from her mother and father. Her eyes are narrow slit-pupils, skin pale but capable of bronzing in the sun like a Seeker; though her fur is fluffy and tail is long like a Keeper.

: This miqo'te has a snow-print mane--white with undertones if black and grey--with pale blue eyes and bangle-stripes that frame her face.

: In true mage form--E'kari can usually be found in little to no armor, even when going into battle. It slows her down in preforming martial arts and also disrupts her casting to wear anything too heavy. Instead she prefers comfortable robes or her labcoat. <div>
 



=== '''♦ History ''' ===
<hr>
 
: The parentage of E'yami and E'kari is a taboo matter. One that the Nunh of the Eft ordered upon the strictest of penalty, never to be spoken of. While their mother--E'yari--was a Seeker and one of the designated breeding females to the Nunh; their father--Sagu'a--was actually a roving Keeper who had long since left behind a subservient life with his maternal-family in the Shroud to be a traveling poet, minstrel and anthropologist. The two Miqo'te met when Sagu'a and his scholarly lalafell companion, Anabel Nack, sought a place to rest during their travels. The tribe apprehensively took the researchers in as temporary guests. In that time Sagu'a and E'yari began a secret relationship.

:When it came to light that the two had been together Sagu'a was put to death, and his body unceremoniously left to rot in the heat of the desert just outside of their territory.

: In a double blow, not only was E'yari stricken with grief, but she also discovered she was pregnant. Due to a combination of her melancholy of her lost love, the despair at what her life would be at the whims of her Nunh and complications during the birthing process--E'yari died shortly after her second kit was delivered. The last words she managed to speak before slipping away were the names of her children. Both Doman, in honor of their father who fancied the culture. Yami, meaning dark, and Hikari meaning light--though the midwives were unfamiliar with the tongue, mistaking it simply for /E/kari.

: Upon the twins' birth into the Eft--as per tradition--the clan made a ceremonial offering of their namesake to Azeyma that would determine their role in the tribe. When the flesh was melted from the bones,their appointed wise-woman had determined E'kari was to be the next shaman while E'yami's bones were an augury that she was preordained to be a great warrior.

: The Nunh was pleased by the news and demanded celebration, but found that the females of the tribe were not nearly as thrilled. Many believed that the pale-faced kits with hair of black and white were cursed; killing their mother with ill-omen. Nack took this opportunity to offer her services in raising her friends' children and providing them with education.

:The lalafell's silver tongue managed to coerce the Nunh to allow this arrangement--given he had few other options. The three were put up in a yurt close to the Nunh's own home to keep an eye on the foreigner.

: In the years that proceeded their youth, the twins were given a proper education by the professor--in between being stolen away to be taught their duties to the Eft. While Yami practiced fighting the other tribal youths, Kari was introduced to herbal medicine, burial rites and how to divinate the future with the practice of bone reading.

: Despite the twins' diligent efforts to hone their skills and fulfill thier tribal roles, they sorely lacked any sort of companionship from the other children of the Eft--having learned from their mother's to be wary of the pale-faced Seekers. Because of this, Nack took it upon herself to try and teach the girls the basic art of carbuncle summoning and passed her own Topaz and Emerald gems down to each of them.

: Demure and plagued with anxiety, E'kari was given Nicholas--Nack's Emerald carbuncle--as a therapy animal; while E'yami received Whackara--a Topaz companion who had enough spunk and energy to keep up with her. Both arcanist-pets has served the Professor faithfully since her own youth and passed without incident into the hands of their new masters.

: As the twins neared their teenage years, an odd habit of E'kari's came to light. She could often be found speaking to the streams, winds and rock-faces in the territory which the tribe found very suspicious. Some of the more superstitious members of the tribe were convinced the was speaking to the dead; the Nunh believed this was some gift from the Warden, proving his right to rule was divine.

: Knowing better than to believe any of that, Nack speculated that this was a hereditary trait, passed down from Sagu'a, who was a Hearer. Once more the professor went to the Nunh and convinced him that he should allow her to take the twins to train abroad in Gridania that they might return more powerful and capable of serving him. He agreed to the idea and within a fortnight Nack brought the girls to the Shroud.

: Once in Gridania, E'kari joined the Conjurer's Guild as a student while E'yami sought training in both lance and bow.

: Though eager to make new friends the Seeker found this was easier said than done. The high populous of Hyur and Elezen looked condescendingly upon the tribal girls. It was not out of the ordinary for the more crude classmates to inquire if her parents were cousins. This trouble fitting in was compounded by the fact she didn't seem to learn at the same rate as everyone else. E'kari would often focus on small details of things, so much so that she could not intake an entire lesson. A classroom setting did her little credit, but during her free moments she would visit the Everschade and commune with the Elementals.

: On one such visit, a strong wind blew a small branch down from the great tree; which, E'kari took and mended with magic that it might be used as a crook.

: Due to her natural affinity for the forest and her difficulty with conventional methods of learning she was taken as a personal apprentice to Master E-Sumi-Yan, a patient Padjal who specialized in the guidance of Hearers. Discovering the trick seemed to be hands-on learning, he took every opportunity to have the Seeker accompany him while he worked. E'kari improved quickly under his tutelage, able to stand as a conjurer in her own right.

: Near the end of the girl's time abroad, the Seventh Umbral Calamity struck. With her guild called to act as medics on the field, the twins soon found themselves on the heels of disaster for the duration of the event. E'kari and her classmates followed the guildmasters into the chaos, assisting those who had been wounded or fallen. E'yami acted as E'kari's personal guard as she preformed field surgeries and magical healing. The two witnessed death up close on more than one occasion, finding themselves changed by the end of it all.

: After all was said and done, the girls' respective masters deemed them both students no longer. And while this was a sweet taste, it was also made bitter by the memories of carnage that now haunted them both.

: The twins returned to their desert territory as heroines who represented their tribe with valor and courage. The Nunh held festivities long into the night.It seemed as though they'd finally been accepted, but neither seemed particularly content with staying within the territory any more--not after all they had been through. Together E'yami and E'kari traveled to the Shrine of the Warden, offering an Eft in a pyre for guidance. When the flesh had melted from the bones, Azeyma's will bid they must go--for they had more to do out in the world. E'kari shared this edict with their people and with heavy hearts, they left again to find and fulfill their duties elsewhere until the time the Warden calls for them to return.

=== '''♦ Behavior ''' ===

 

: E'kari has a hard time learning in a conventional sense often requires an exceedingly patient teacher in order to have any real success. However once she does learn something--or is preforming a task she excels in--she is hard-pressed to be outshined.

: While still generally being good natured and apologetic, in combat E'kari is capable of being a formidable opponent. Being a conjurer she will often take the role of a healer, but her connection to the Elementals has also allowed to take a unique approach to martial arts. The Seeker will often harden a stone skin over her hands and feet while delivering blows, or using gales of wind to enhance her movement speed. She has named her self-made fighting style, "The Golem Step" which emphasizes momentum and fluidity. (Much of her techniques in form are inspired by real world Zui Quan)

: Despite her obvious shortcomings, E'kari is a very hopeful person and goes into every situation with optimism for success, even if she has failed at the task a hundred times before. Sometimes it's the hundred and first try that brings success.

: ● '''[[E'yami Amane]]''' - E'kari's protective fraternal twin sister, older by 7 minutes. E'yami has always been a strong source of strength, comfort and adventure as the two have grown. Though she has a very tomboyish and wears tough outer shell, E'kari knows that her sister is actually very caring and sensitive--always putting the needs of others before herself; and that is what makes her E'kari's hero.

: 💑 '''[[Vektis Sol]]''' - E'kari's boisterous, free-spirited and loveable husband. When they first met she admired his self confidence--often shyly observing him kicking down doors to shout his own name at people. There are few in the world who can raise E'kari's spirits like Vektis can. The two became close friends and then a couple shortly there after. Though many people see his behavior as a nuisance, E'kari celebrates her husband's off-beat mannerisms--unless of course they prove to be dangerous. She loves him to the end of the world and back. The two are married and have two young children together. "Yes, you have been informed correctly. Vektis is, indeed, the bestest." - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[E'kira Sol]]''' - The infant daughter of Vektis and E'kari, also commonly referred to as Kira. This tiny mixed breed of Keeper and Seeker has been though much hardship in her short life. E'kira is the sole survivor of a litter of three, making Vektis and E'kari very protective of her. Regardless of whatever situation she's in, E'kira tends to cry very little. Recently she'd begun learning to walk and talk. Already she has shown the propensity to always be making noise of some sort, just like her father.

: ● '''[[Maxwell Sol]]''' - Born to the Eft tribe--to the name E'rhaja Tia--and orphaned after his sire was defeated and overthrown by another male. E'kari picked up the kitten; she felt a kinship with him for their similar origins. Upon his arrival at Heartwood to the Sol family he was renamed by Vektis and E'kari so he might grow up feeling like he belonged. Now three cycles old, Max is shy, polite and thoughtful. Especially fond of tinkering with small shiny objects and collecting beads, rocks and shells. He has an exceptionally bright mind for a boy his age.

: ● '''[[Nicholas Nack- NPC]]''' - The ever-present summoned companion of E'kari. This carbuncle has been with E'kari throughout the Seeker's entire life as a sort of therapy animal, helping to keep her anxiety in check. With a gem layered with complex geometries: Anabel Nack made it so he and his sister creation--Whackara--could form memories; and with that, personalities. Nick is generally gentle and quiet, with a keen ability to sense people's emotional needs. As such, he tends to gravitate to people whom he suspects need comfort. Nick is aware of his own artificial intellegence and often grapples with his place in the world, as well as the loneliness that comes from his own existence. "Ploo!" - Nick

: ● '''[[Anabel Nack]]''' - Author, scientist, surgeon and parent. This quirky and frightening alchemist is the adopted mother of E'yami and E'kari. Nanabel Nabel by birth, she almost always goes by her pen-name "A.B. 'Nack'". Though her child rearing methods were always questionable at best, the most indisputable fact of it all is that Nack loves both of her girls very much. She is not above employing dark methods to ensure this mad-scientist keeps her loved ones safe. This lalafell's haunting laughter was picked up by E'kari as she was growing up. "Kuhuhuh....." - Anabel Nack

: ● '''[[Conrad Steelsong]]''' - This initially frighteningly large Ala Mhigan is actually the godparent of E'kari and Vektis' young daughter, E'kira. The four of them, as well as No'Ulla Khilik, all take up residence in the same house in the Mist. Conrad has obviously weathered the storm of many conflicts that have hardened his exterior. Despite his gruff demeanor, E'kari finds him to be a wonderful person and the closest thing to a father she's ever known.

: ● '''[[No'Ulla Khilik]]''' - The Ala Mhigan-weaver wife of Conrad Steelsong. She has recently returned from apprenticing in Ishgard to live with the Solsong household. E'kari finds her to be a skilled craftswoman and never tires of hearing about Ulla's special technique of Spell-Weaving. Ulla is a welcome addition to the family--E'kari just hopes that Vektis doesn't scare their new friend off with nonsensical antics.

: ● '''[[Nyscera Alarone]]''' - This mistress of shadowy death is a close friend of the twins' adopted mother. She is considered an aunt to E'kari and E'yami. Early on in E'kari stay at Heartwood, the dragon-riding assassin took E'kari, Bennett and Snowy in as pupils for physical and mental training. While it was grueling and at times crushing, E'kari owes her martial arts ability solely to these lessons. Nyscera taught E'kari the value of teamwork and also her how to be unphased by negative elements in her life.

: ● '''[[Rath Alarone]]''' - Nyscera's aloof husband--and by proxy--the twins' uncle. This applesauce-loving dark knight is the one that hired E'kari to work as the company alchemist--in no small part to do with the potent pain killers she was able to make for him after a fight that nearly ended in his death. He always seems have a joke lined up, even in the most bleak of situations.

: ● '''[[Bennett Cooper]]''' - E'kari's teammate and--since his adoption by Rath and Nyscera Alarone--cousin of sorts. E'kari sees Bennett as the shining future of their free company. While he makes mistakes and has a ways to go before he can truly master any of his arsenal of weapons, E'kari firmly believes this young boy is going to do great things. Could young Master Bennett be a something more than the average fighter...? "Cooper is Super..!" - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[E'vehlke Sohj]]''' - The maternal cousin of E'kari and E'yami. Vehlke is a fearless warrior with a strange accent. As she is a full blood Seeker of the Eft tribe, E'vehlke shares a striking resemblance to the twins' mother.

: ● '''[[Sokhatai Borlaaq]]''' - This huntress is the wife of E'vehlke Sohj. She has a very specific way of talking. E'kari onced picked her brain about adventure and Au'Ra culture. She finds her delightful!

: ● '''[[Reina Sol]]''' - E'kari's half Keeper half Raen sister-in-law. She is the first person from Heartwood that the twins ever met, quickly taking the girls under her wing and giving them a place to stay. It was because of Reina that E'kari met Vektis. E'kari admires Reina as a strong and together person.

: ● '''[[Snowy Sol]]''' - E'kari's full miqo'te sister-in-law. Even before the two were related by marriage, E'kari has had a definite soft spot for this girl-genius in her heart. The two worked together in the clinic for some time, rather closely. In one occasion the two preformed life saving surgery on Vektis. E'kari's only qualm is that she fears this teen might be too relaxed about the dangerous world around her at times--but maybe that's just the anxiety talking.

: ● '''[[Xihvi'ir Valathri]]''' - Xihvi'ir, or 'Ashy' as the others have taken to calling him, is a kindly harp-player that has come into the service of Heartwood. Though E'kari doesn't know of his personal dealings in any intricate regard--other than his past as a gambler--she knows she can trust his character, as he is well loved by Nick. The Keeper has always loaned a helping hand to the company whenever a need arose, for that E'kari finds herself very grateful to her new friend. Though she doesn't know it yet, the two share an unexpected bond in blood.

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#4d0000; font-size:14px; color:#FFFFFF">Friends </div><div style="border:0px solid; padding:8px"> ===

: ● '''[[Sakeru Wakeru]]''' – This unsuspecting looking delivery boy has a dark past under the surface. A time ago, Sakeru divulged a portion of his history to E'kari and a few others. Oddly enough, she ended up trusting him more after learning he was a trained assassin. She was quite sad to see him leave but remembers him fondly. Wherever this lalafell goes two things are a certain: death and dinner. "Did I leave the oven on..?" - Sakeru Wakeru

: ● '''[[Tustin Lafell]]''' - The first moment E'kari saw this lalafell he was being arrested on the free company lawn for the attempted armed robbery. Later when he returned to make his peace with Heartwood the two met and over time became close companions. Tustin's street-savvy, wild and hot-headed demeanor contrasts E'kari's bookish, nervous, awkwardness in a very positive way. This Dunesfolk left Heartwood some time ago to make something of himself out in the world. Since then he has begun studying medicine. He remains, to this day, one of E'kari's most treasured and beloved friends. "I'm not cute! I'm manly as hell!" - Tustin Lafell

: ● '''[[Tynos Riller]]''' - This towering black mage initially greatly frightened E'kari upon their first meeting. Perhaps it was his scar, his serious expression or his sheer size--regardless, she now knows him as a very kind-hearted and family oriented leader. He sacrifices much of himself to keep Heartwood's members safe--and frankly--works too hard. It would be a shock to find him away from the clinic for longer than a month. It's safe to say, E'kari's pharmacy has a special 'Tynos Budget' for the small fortune it takes to keep this misfortune prone Elezen on his feet. "My goodness..! Hurt again, Master Tynos...?" - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[Cioccolato Stella]]''' - Cioccolato, or Lady Cio as E'kari calls her, works as a maid and nanny in the Sol-Godsbane household. This charming and kind healer can often be seen sporting pastel colors and traveling around in the company of her Demon Brick, Cenere, which is a close friend of Max. E'kari has always been very fond of this miqo'te since her arrival and is one of the few she trusts to care for Kira and Max in her absence.

: ● '''[[Kaiya Ailbhe]]''' - The librarian, chief of medicine and over-all brains of Heartwood. E'kari admires the patience of this woman but also feels horribly guilty that the actions of her free company have driven Kaiya to take up smoking. Occasionally E'kari will bring Kaiya cinnamon sticks en masse as an attempt to give her something roughly cigarette shaped to hold and suck on. It is unknown if Doctor Ailhbe actually enjoys these or if she is merely humoring E'kari. Hopefully at the very least she is not being driven to smoke those as well...

: ● '''[[Zana Amaro]]''' - An aloof gunslinger and self proclaimed alley-cat. Despite being told not to, E'kari still insists on respectfully referring to this miqo'te as Lady Zana. When this woman is armed and in a foul mood . . . heaven help her target. E'kari has seen Zana rip a man's arm clean off. However Zana does also have a soft side. When E'kari was gravely injured in an attempt on her life, Zana stationed herself in the clinic to watch over her.

: ● '''[[Moralee Relen]]''' - Known to E'kari as "Mordry". This Au'Ra woman is rather complex for many reasons. Regardless E'kari cares greatly about Moralee and Mora in equal measure--although Mordry's "Moralee-half" is more familiar to her. Some time ago Mordry required E'kari's help with a somewhat risky task. This evoked the ire of her usually perpetually cheerful husband. Vektis has yet to forgive Mordry to this day, which fills the Seeker with guilt and remorse. However, because of that mission, E'kari learned how to brew a special and ancient potion she dubbed, "The Draught of the Dreamwalker".

: ● '''[[Neville Synch]]''' - This good natured marksman is the mate of Zana Amaro and the best friend of E'yami Amane. Over the period she has known him, this man has done a lot for E'kari's family which she could never repay. Though she does not know him too well personally she trusts him fully regardless. She always gets a chuckle out of the banter between Neville and Vektis.

: ● '''[[Vahn Quietfury]]''' - A sweet little boy with a curious connection to an elder dragon. E'kari first met the half lalafell on a caravan mission that was attacked. In the absence of his own mother, the Seeker would often look after Vahn when his father was away. One day when Vahn was playing with some of the other boys in the company yard he exhibited dangerous abilities. He and his father were sent away for the potential danger they posed. E'kari still loves Vahn like a son.

: ● '''[[Brandon Stormstrider]]''' - The Hyur father of Vahn Quietfury. E'kari met Brandon a short time after Vahn. The two became close friends, as the miqo'te was one of the few Heartwood members Brandon trusted. She would often do simple favors for the father and son to make their lives easier such as cleaning or bringing home pineapples. Upon their leaving to a new safehaven the Seeker found herself deeply saddend, however Brandon still sneaks over to the company on occasion. Brandon has placed E'kari under the protection of his men known only as "The Rogues".

: ● '''[[Enkhjargal Dalamiq]]''' - This stoic summoner is actually E'kari's master. He took her under his wing when she first arrived to Heartwood and had to terrorize her into being able to use her magic for anything beyond healing. His methods worked and looking back, E'kari owes him all of the strength she possesses now. Beyond that, she thinks he is a wonderful person who has natural ability with children. Who knew!

: ● '''[[Camille Everardi]]''' - Camille is Enkhjargal Dalamiq's wife and a talented mage, among many other things. E'kari has seen Camille fight in more than one way in the past with spars. She found this woman to be a strong female rolemodel for her in the past when she was just learning to fight--and still looks up to her to this day. E'kari couldn't be happier that her master and friend found happiness in each other's company.

: ● '''[[Chokho Viqqoh]]''' - A fierce, fiery and loyal amnesiac-Keeper who recently joined Heartwood. Since her arrival, Chokho and E'kari have become fast friends; bonding over their shared love of martial arts and string instruments. Though the two differ greatly in temperament and personality they have a shared respect for one another.

: ● '''[[Narumi Kotokaze]]''' - More commonly referred to as "Kota". E'kari met this Maelstrom affiliated bounty hunter on the road when she was set upon by highwaymen--which Kota easily dispatched. Since then the Raen has been promoted to first lieutenant of the Storm-guard and assigned to work as the handler of the former pirate Skyfwyb. The officer comissions her medicine from E'kari's "Alchemist's Alley". 

:● '''[[Nevrynn Alarone]]''' - While E'kari initially mistrusted the Seeker for his roguish persona and wanderlust, in resent months she has come to warm up to her sister's mate. Though she may not know him as well as she might like, he makes her sister happy. And the affection between the two are plain to see.

: ● '''[[Jake Jakkya]]''' - A red-lenses wearing void-mage who has spent a great deal of his life as a pit fighter. This spellsword is particularly close to E'kari's adopted mother, Nack, which makes him a brother of sorts. E'kari sorely wishes he would be less devil-may-care in demeanor at times, or at least care a bit more about his own life. She's always pleased when he pops up unharmed now and again. This former criminal has been blacklisted from Heartwood for his criminal debts to the Syndicate--though he has since paid them back in full, becoming an ally to the group.

: ● '''[[Ash Valken]]''' - The tall, brooding brother of Nyscera who has a strong dislike for Rath. E'kari met this former bandit spying on her a few times. Eventually the two had a sit-down conversation and became close--which was a new thing for the Au'Ra. E'kari taught Ash how to play a grasswhistle, fixed his broken hearing-aid and engaged in a playful spar. Somehow, in one way or another, most of their interactions end in awkward sexual-tension. The day Ash left Heartwood, E'kari gave him a necklace made from a strap of her doctor's bag to remember her by and encouraged him to follow his dreams.

: ● '''[[Akiyuki Okuma]]''' - The large, quiet, but overall pleasant husband of Cio who has joined Heartwood since his marriage to the plucky, pastel nursemaid. This reserved Au'Ra is a welcome addition to the family.

: ● '''[[Kenoni Eien’no]]''' - The betrothed of her friend Moralee. A stern and stoic acquaintance but never the less, E'kari admires his loyalty and commitment to Mordry. She hopes the two will have a wonderful life together with their child.

: ● '''[[J'edite Shedai]]''' - A fellow enthusiast of martial arts that spends most of her time roaming Thanalan seeking glory for the Jackal tribe. The two have had run-ins here and there as J'edite was on hunts and once sparred under the Sultan tree. The Seekers employ very different styles of their own making: while E'kari fights with her heavy handed "Golem Step" ideal for doing battle with armed and armored foes; J'edite uses fast kicks transitioning into fluid jabs in her "Fire Dancer" style that proves to be the bane of slower opponents. As it stands the two are friendly rivals.

: ● '''[[Alpon Adpon]]''' - The Pink Punisher! E'kari has met this "battle-chef" in passing more than once. The lalafell's skill in combat seems to rival his culinary prowess.

: ● '''[[Namaka Ebisu]]''' - A strange and sweet water-sprite who lives in a fountain. You want tree slugs? Because this is how you get tree slugs.

: ● '''[[Alistar Stormfist]]''' - Found by Heartwood on the road to Little Ala Mhigo, this former Garlean slave was near death and wearing a magitek collar. With no where else to go and no life to return to, this gentle giant returned with the caravan to the Heartwood Homestead.

: ● '''[[Lucinda Kovix]]''' - This kindly and capable, Ishgardian drifter met Doctor Sol as she was returning from conversing with the Everschade and her husband's chocobo ran off. Lucinda and E'kari worked together to catch the bird and got to talking about Lucy's need for work and also to find her missing brother. The Miqo'te has since come to stay at Heartwood which has overjoyed E'kari.

: ● '''[[L'nela Varya]]''' - A one-eyed woman who really enjoys taking a bite out of life! In all seriousness--L'nela is a chipper and quirky person. A little emotional at times, but rightfully so; as her recent years have been filled with trauma. Both physical and emotional. Careful, she likes to nibble!
 

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#4d0000;font-size:14px;color:#FFFFFF;">Disliked</div><div style="border:0px solid; padding:8px">===

:● '''[[Tharl Oom Khash - NPC]]''' - A being made of corruption who takes his name from his place of creation. While to most guardians of the Shroud he would be a natural enemy anyway--this thing has taken a special and terrible shine to tormenting E'kari and all of Heartwood. His track record of terrible deeds is staggering and body count ever on the rise. His most memorable in E'kari's mind were her children, Sagu'a and Cize. The vengeful mother aided in his demise by pummeling him with special stones--from Tynos and Kaiya--she formed into barbaric gauntlets.


:● '''[[The Pumpking - NPC]]''' - This strange and otherwordly being was initially just an unsettling presence that occasionally appeared in the Heartwood halls offering bargains for steep moral prices. It was not until this squash-headed man manipulated Tustin Lafell into a contract that he became E'kari's enemy. The Seeker used excessive force against the entitiy, beating him into a puddle of black ooze. He has since returned to haunt Heartwood, though has stifled a sum of E'kari's animosity toward him by fixing her carbuncle's shattered gem and helping finish off Khash for good.

:● '''[[Skyfwyb Aergankawyn]]''' - E'kari was not fond of this woman from the start. The monsterous Seawolf had committed crimes against Heartwood on numerous occasions. E'kari was glad to hear of her sting and arrest by the Maelstrom. In the time that has followed, however, the curt and belligerent captain seems to have changed her ways to some extent. E'kari now views her slightly more favorably after having witnessed Skyfwyb's capacity to care genuinely for another person. It was also by the aid of this former pirate that the Solsong household was able to cross the sea to the east. As it stands now they are allies.

:■ E'kari refers to people as 'master' or 'lady' because as a young newcomer to Gridania she was hazed by the local youths told that it was how non-tribal people spoke to one another. Excited to make 'friends' the Seeker picked this up almost immediately. It was not until this was an ingrained habit that she learned it was all a ruse for E'kari to make a fool of herself every time she spoke.
:■ Despite the skill not coming up particularly often, E'kari is adept at Thavnarian belly-dancing. This and many similar styles of celebratory dance were used among she and her kin in their tribal lands; though this is actually not their people's only connection to the middle east. The dress style, use of Alchemy and herbal medicines, even their taste in food has been greatly influenced by trade with Thavnaire, much like many others who reside in Thanalan.
:■ Due to E'kari's heavy aspection to Earth she is notoriously difficult to knock off her feet and has immense stamina; adversely, she is not as quick as she'd like to be and swimming in deep water takes a significant amount of energy.
:■ Though most are unaware--or attribute some of her mannerisms to merely being quirky--E'kari actually suffers from high functioning autism. Social queues tend to be her biggest hurdle, along with focusing on the big picture of tasks as opposed to minuet details, and sorting out painful emotions.

<div>
=== '''♦ General''' ===
<hr>
 
: (This page has recently undergone a major rework! Check it out if you want to know what has changed!)
: This overly polite and apologetic medicine-woman can often be found scuttling about making deliveries for her shop. Due to her diligent work, E'kari's Alchemist Alley has become one of the Alchemist Guild's favored subsidiaries and is frequently called upon to do business in Little Ala Mhigo as a representative of their organization. <div>
 



=== '''♦ Appearance''' ===
<hr>
 

: E'kari is a Seeker/Keeper half-breed who carries some physical traits from her mother and father. Her eyes are narrow slit-pupils, skin pale but capable of bronzing in the sun like a Seeker; though her fur is fluffy and tail is long like a Keeper.

: This miqo'te has a snow-print mane--white with undertones if black and grey--with pale blue eyes and bangle-stripes that frame her face.

: In true mage form--E'kari can usually be found in little to no armor, even when going into battle. It slows her down in preforming martial arts and also disrupts her casting to wear anything too heavy. Instead she prefers comfortable robes or her labcoat. <div>
 



=== '''♦ History ''' ===
<hr>
 
: The parentage of E'yami and E'kari is a taboo matter. One that the Nuhn of the Eft ordered upon the strictest of penalty, never to be spoken of. While their mother--E'yari--was a Seeker and one of the designated breeding females to the Nuhn; their father--Sagu'a--was actually a roving Keeper who had long since left behind a subservient life with his maternal-family in the Shroud to be a traveling poet, minstrel and anthropologist. The two Miqo'te met when Sagu'a and his scholarly lalafell companion, Anabel Nack, sought a place to rest during their travels. The tribe apprehensively took the researchers in as temporary guests. In that time Sagu'a and E'yari began a secret relationship.

:When it came to light that the two had been together Sagu'a was put to death, and his body unceremoniously left to rot in the heat of the desert just outside of their territory.

: In a double blow, not only was E'yari stricken with grief, but she also discovered she was pregnant. Due to a combination of her melancholy of her lost love, the despair at what her life would be at the whims of her Nunh and complications during the birthing process--E'yari died shortly after her second kit was delivered. The last words she managed to speak before slipping away were the names of her children. Both Doman, in honor of their father who fancied the culture. Yami, meaning dark, and Hikari meaning light--though the midwives were unfamiliar with the tongue, mistaking it simply for /E/kari.

: Upon the twins' birth into the Eft--as per tradition--the clan made a ceremonial offering of their namesake to Azeyma that would determine their role in the tribe. When the flesh was melted from the bones,their appointed wise-woman had determined E'kari was to be the next shaman while E'yami's bones were an augury that she was preordained to be a great warrior.

: The Nunh was pleased by the news and demanded celebration, but found that the females of the tribe were not nearly as thrilled. Many believed that the pale-faced kits with hair of black and white were cursed; killing their mother with ill-omen. Nack took this opportunity to offer her services in raising her friends' children and providing them with education.

:The lalafell's silver tongue managed to coerce the Nunh to allow this arrangement--given he had few other options. The three were put up in a yurt close to the Nunh's own home to keep an eye on the foreigner.

: In the years that proceeded their youth, the twins were given a proper education by the professor--in between being stolen away to be taught their duties to the Eft. While Yami practiced fighting the other tribal youths, Kari was introduced to herbal medicine, burial rites and how to divinate the future with the practice of bone reading.

: Despite the twins' diligent efforts to hone their skills and fulfill thier tribal roles, they sorely lacked any sort of companionship from the other children of the Eft--having learned from their mother's to be wary of the pale-faced Seekers. Because of this, Nack took it upon herself to try and teach the girls the basic art of carbuncle summoning and passed her own Topaz and Emerald gems down to each of them.

: Demure and plagued with anxiety, E'kari was given Nicholas--Nack's Emerald carbuncle--as a therapy animal; while E'yami received Whackara--a Topaz companion who had enough spunk and energy to keep up with her. Both arcanist-pets has served the Professor faithfully since her own youth and passed without incident into the hands of their new masters.

: As the twins neared their teenage years, an odd habit of E'kari's came to light. She could often be found speaking to the streams, winds and rock-faces in the territory which the tribe found very suspicious. Some of the more superstitious members of the tribe were convinced the was speaking to the dead; the Nunh believed this was some gift from the Warden, proving his right to rule was divine.

: Knowing better than to believe any of that, Nack speculated that this was a hereditary trait, passed down from Sagu'a, who was a Hearer. Once more the professor went to the Nunh and convinced him that he should allow her to take the twins to train abroad in Gridania that they might return more powerful and capable of serving him. He agreed to the idea and within a fortnight Nack brought the girls to the Shroud.

: Once in Gridania, E'kari joined the Conjurer's Guild as a student while E'yami sought training in both lance and bow.

: Though eager to make new friends the Seeker found this was easier said than done. The high populous of Hyur and Elezen looked condescendingly upon the tribal girls. It was not out of the ordinary for the more crude classmates to inquire if her parents were cousins. This trouble fitting in was compounded by the fact she didn't seem to learn at the same rate as everyone else. E'kari would often focus on small details of things, so much so that she could not intake an entire lesson. A classroom setting did her little credit, but during her free moments she would visit the Everschade and commune with the Elementals.

: On one such visit, a strong wind blew a small branch down from the great tree; which, E'kari took and mended with magic that it might be used as a crook.

: Due to her natural affinity for the forest and her difficulty with conventional methods of learning she was taken as a personal apprentice to Master E-Sumi-Yan, a patient Padjal who specialized in the guidance of Hearers. Discovering the trick seemed to be hands-on learning, he took every opportunity to have the Seeker accompany him while he worked. E'kari improved quickly under his tutelage, able to stand as a conjurer in her own right.

: Near the end of the girl's time abroad, the Seventh Umbral Calamity struck. With her guild called to act as medics on the field, the twins soon found themselves on the heels of disaster for the duration of the event. E'kari and her classmates followed the guildmasters into the chaos, assisting those who had been wounded or fallen. E'yami acted as E'kari's personal guard as she preformed field surgeries and magical healing. The two witnessed death up close on more than one occasion, finding themselves changed by the end of it all.

: After all was said and done, the girls' respective masters deemed them both students no longer. And while this was a sweet taste, it was also made bitter by the memories of carnage that now haunted them both.

: The twins returned to their desert territory as heroines who represented their tribe with valor and courage. The Nunh held festivities long into the night.It seemed as though they'd finally been accepted, but neither seemed particularly content with staying within the territory any more--not after all they had been through. Together E'yami and E'kari traveled to the Shrine of the Warden, offering an Eft in a pyre for guidance. When the flesh had melted from the bones, Azeyma's will bid they must go--for they had more to do out in the world. E'kari shared this edict with their people and with heavy hearts, they left again to find and fulfill their duties elsewhere until the time the Warden calls for them to return.

=== '''♦ Behavior ''' ===

 

: E'kari has a hard time learning in a conventional sense often requires an exceedingly patient teacher in order to have any real success. However once she does learn something--or is preforming a task she excels in--she is hard-pressed to be outshined.

: While still generally being good natured and apologetic, in combat E'kari is capable of being a formidable opponent. Being a conjurer she will often take the role of a healer, but her connection to the Elementals has also allowed to take a unique approach to martial arts. The Seeker will often harden a stone skin over her hands and feet while delivering blows, or using gales of wind to enhance her movement speed. She has named her self-made fighting style, "The Golem Step" which emphasizes momentum and fluidity. (Much of her techniques in form are inspired by real world Zui Quan)

: Despite her obvious shortcomings, E'kari is a very hopeful person and goes into every situation with optimism for success, even if she has failed at the task a hundred times before. Sometimes it's the hundred and first try that brings success.

: ● '''[[E'yami Amane]]''' - E'kari's protective fraternal twin sister, older by 7 minutes. E'yami has always been a strong source of strength, comfort and adventure as the two have grown. Though she has a very tomboyish and wears tough outer shell, E'kari knows that her sister is actually very caring and sensitive--always putting the needs of others before herself; and that is what makes her E'kari's hero.

: 💑 '''[[Vektis Sol]]''' - E'kari's boisterous, free-spirited and loveable husband. When they first met she admired his self confidence--often shyly observing him kicking down doors to shout his own name at people. There are few in the world who can raise E'kari's spirits like Vektis can. The two became close friends and then a couple shortly there after. Though many people see his behavior as a nuisance, E'kari celebrates her husband's off-beat mannerisms--unless of course they prove to be dangerous. She loves him to the end of the world and back. The two are married and have two young children together. "Yes, you have been informed correctly. Vektis is, indeed, the bestest." - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[E'kira Sol]]''' - The infant daughter of Vektis and E'kari, also commonly referred to as Kira. This tiny mixed breed of Keeper and Seeker has been though much hardship in her short life. E'kira is the sole survivor of a litter of three, making Vektis and E'kari very protective of her. Regardless of whatever situation she's in, E'kira tends to cry very little. Recently she'd begun learning to walk and talk. Already she has shown the propensity to always be making noise of some sort, just like her father.

: ● '''[[Maxwell Sol]]''' - Born to the Eft tribe--to the name E'rhaja Tia--and orphaned after his sire was defeated and overthrown by another male. E'kari picked up the kitten; she felt a kinship with him for their similar origins. Upon his arrival at Heartwood to the Sol family he was renamed by Vektis and E'kari so he might grow up feeling like he belonged. Now three cycles old, Max is shy, polite and thoughtful. Especially fond of tinkering with small shiny objects and collecting beads, rocks and shells. He has an exceptionally bright mind for a boy his age.

: ● '''[[Nicholas Nack- NPC]]''' - The ever-present summoned companion of E'kari. This carbuncle has been with E'kari throughout the Seeker's entire life as a sort of therapy animal, helping to keep her anxiety in check. With a gem layered with complex geometries: Anabel Nack made it so he and his sister creation--Whackara--could form memories; and with that, personalities. Nick is generally gentle and quiet, with a keen ability to sense people's emotional needs. As such, he tends to gravitate to people whom he suspects need comfort. Nick is aware of his own artificial intellegence and often grapples with his place in the world, as well as the loneliness that comes from his own existence. "Ploo!" - Nick

: ● '''[[Anabel Nack]]''' - Author, scientist, surgeon and parent. This quirky and frightening alchemist is the adopted mother of E'yami and E'kari. Nanabel Nabel by birth, she almost always goes by her pen-name "A.B. 'Nack'". Though her child rearing methods were always questionable at best, the most indisputable fact of it all is that Nack loves both of her girls very much. She is not above employing dark methods to ensure this mad-scientist keeps her loved ones safe. This lalafell's haunting laughter was picked up by E'kari as she was growing up. "Kuhuhuh....." - Anabel Nack

: ● '''[[Conrad Steelsong]]''' - This initially frighteningly large Ala Mhigan is actually the godparent of E'kari and Vektis' young daughter, E'kira. The four of them, as well as No'Ulla Khilik, all take up residence in the same house in the Mist. Conrad has obviously weathered the storm of many conflicts that have hardened his exterior. Despite his gruff demeanor, E'kari finds him to be a wonderful person and the closest thing to a father she's ever known.

: ● '''[[No'Ulla Khilik]]''' - The Ala Mhigan-weaver wife of Conrad Steelsong. She has recently returned from apprenticing in Ishgard to live with the Solsong household. E'kari finds her to be a skilled craftswoman and never tires of hearing about Ulla's special technique of Spell-Weaving. Ulla is a welcome addition to the family--E'kari just hopes that Vektis doesn't scare their new friend off with nonsensical antics.

: ● '''[[Nyscera Alarone]]''' - This mistress of shadowy death is a close friend of the twins' adopted mother. She is considered an aunt to E'kari and E'yami. Early on in E'kari stay at Heartwood, the dragon-riding assassin took E'kari, Bennett and Snowy in as pupils for physical and mental training. While it was grueling and at times crushing, E'kari owes her martial arts ability solely to these lessons. Nyscera taught E'kari the value of teamwork and also her how to be unphased by negative elements in her life.

: ● '''[[Rath Alarone]]''' - Nyscera's aloof husband--and by proxy--the twins' uncle. This applesauce-loving dark knight is the one that hired E'kari to work as the company alchemist--in no small part to do with the potent pain killers she was able to make for him after a fight that nearly ended in his death. He always seems have a joke lined up, even in the most bleak of situations.

: ● '''[[Bennett Cooper]]''' - E'kari's teammate and--since his adoption by Rath and Nyscera Alarone--cousin of sorts. E'kari sees Bennett as the shining future of their free company. While he makes mistakes and has a ways to go before he can truly master any of his arsenal of weapons, E'kari firmly believes this young boy is going to do great things. Could young Master Bennett be a something more than the average fighter...? "Cooper is Super..!" - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[E'vehlke Sohj]]''' - The maternal cousin of E'kari and E'yami. Vehlke is a fearless warrior with a strange accent. As she is a full blood Seeker of the Eft tribe, E'vehlke shares a striking resemblance to the twins' mother.

: ● '''[[Sokhatai Borlaaq]]''' - This huntress is the wife of E'vehlke Sohj. She has a very specific way of talking. E'kari onced picked her brain about adventure and Au'Ra culture. She finds her delightful!

: ● '''[[Reina Sol]]''' - E'kari's half Keeper half Raen sister-in-law. She is the first person from Heartwood that the twins ever met, quickly taking the girls under her wing and giving them a place to stay. It was because of Reina that E'kari met Vektis. E'kari admires Reina as a strong and together person.

: ● '''[[Snowy Sol]]''' - E'kari's full miqo'te sister-in-law. Even before the two were related by marriage, E'kari has had a definite soft spot for this girl-genius in her heart. The two worked together in the clinic for some time, rather closely. In one occasion the two preformed life saving surgery on Vektis. E'kari's only qualm is that she fears this teen might be too relaxed about the dangerous world around her at times--but maybe that's just the anxiety talking.

: ● '''[[Xihvi'ir Valathri]]''' - Xihvi'ir, or 'Ashy' as the others have taken to calling him, is a kindly harp-player that has come into the service of Heartwood. Though E'kari doesn't know of his personal dealings in any intricate regard--other than his past as a gambler--she knows she can trust his character, as he is well loved by Nick. The Keeper has always loaned a helping hand to the company whenever a need arose, for that E'kari finds herself very grateful to her new friend. Though she doesn't know it yet, the two share an unexpected bond in blood.

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#4d0000; font-size:14px; color:#FFFFFF">Friends </div><div style="border:0px solid; padding:8px"> ===

: ● '''[[Sakeru Wakeru]]''' – This unsuspecting looking delivery boy has a dark past under the surface. A time ago, Sakeru divulged a portion of his history to E'kari and a few others. Oddly enough, she ended up trusting him more after learning he was a trained assassin. She was quite sad to see him leave but remembers him fondly. Wherever this lalafell goes two things are a certain: death and dinner. "Did I leave the oven on..?" - Sakeru Wakeru

: ● '''[[Tustin Lafell]]''' - The first moment E'kari saw this lalafell he was being arrested on the free company lawn for the attempted armed robbery. Later when he returned to make his peace with Heartwood the two met and over time became close companions. Tustin's street-savvy, wild and hot-headed demeanor contrasts E'kari's bookish, nervous, awkwardness in a very positive way. This Dunesfolk left Heartwood some time ago to make something of himself out in the world. Since then he has begun studying medicine. He remains, to this day, one of E'kari's most treasured and beloved friends. "I'm not cute! I'm manly as hell!" - Tustin Lafell

: ● '''[[Tynos Riller]]''' - This towering black mage initially greatly frightened E'kari upon their first meeting. Perhaps it was his scar, his serious expression or his sheer size--regardless, she now knows him as a very kind-hearted and family oriented leader. He sacrifices much of himself to keep Heartwood's members safe--and frankly--works too hard. It would be a shock to find him away from the clinic for longer than a month. It's safe to say, E'kari's pharmacy has a special 'Tynos Budget' for the small fortune it takes to keep this misfortune prone Elezen on his feet. "My goodness..! Hurt again, Master Tynos...?" - E'kari Sol

: ● '''[[Cioccolato Stella]]''' - Cioccolato, or Lady Cio as E'kari calls her, works as a maid and nanny in the Sol-Godsbane household. This charming and kind healer can often be seen sporting pastel colors and traveling around in the company of her Demon Brick, Cenere, which is a close friend of Max. E'kari has always been very fond of this miqo'te since her arrival and is one of the few she trusts to care for Kira and Max in her absence.

: ● '''[[Kaiya Ailbhe]]''' - The librarian, chief of medicine and over-all brains of Heartwood. E'kari admires the patience of this woman but also feels horribly guilty that the actions of her free company have driven Kaiya to take up smoking. Occasionally E'kari will bring Kaiya cinnamon sticks en masse as an attempt to give her something roughly cigarette shaped to hold and suck on. It is unknown if Doctor Ailhbe actually enjoys these or if she is merely humoring E'kari. Hopefully at the very least she is not being driven to smoke those as well...

: ● '''[[Zana Amaro]]''' - An aloof gunslinger and self proclaimed alley-cat. Despite being told not to, E'kari still insists on respectfully referring to this miqo'te as Lady Zana. When this woman is armed and in a foul mood . . . heaven help her target. E'kari has seen Zana rip a man's arm clean off. However Zana does also have a soft side. When E'kari was gravely injured in an attempt on her life, Zana stationed herself in the clinic to watch over her.

: ● '''[[Moralee Relen]]''' - Known to E'kari as "Mordry". This Au'Ra woman is rather complex for many reasons. Regardless E'kari cares greatly about Moralee and Mora in equal measure--although Mordry's "Moralee-half" is more familiar to her. Some time ago Mordry required E'kari's help with a somewhat risky task. This evoked the ire of her usually perpetually cheerful husband. Vektis has yet to forgive Mordry to this day, which fills the Seeker with guilt and remorse. However, because of that mission, E'kari learned how to brew a special and ancient potion she dubbed, "The Draught of the Dreamwalker".

: ● '''[[Neville Synch]]''' - This good natured marksman is the mate of Zana Amaro and the best friend of E'yami Amane. Over the period she has known him, this man has done a lot for E'kari's family which she could never repay. Though she does not know him too well personally she trusts him fully regardless. She always gets a chuckle out of the banter between Neville and Vektis.

: ● '''[[Vahn Quietfury]]''' - A sweet little boy with a curious connection to an elder dragon. E'kari first met the half lalafell on a caravan mission that was attacked. In the absence of his own mother, the Seeker would often look after Vahn when his father was away. One day when Vahn was playing with some of the other boys in the company yard he exhibited dangerous abilities. He and his father were sent away for the potential danger they posed. E'kari still loves Vahn like a son.

: ● '''[[Brandon Stormstrider]]''' - The Hyur father of Vahn Quietfury. E'kari met Brandon a short time after Vahn. The two became close friends, as the miqo'te was one of the few Heartwood members Brandon trusted. She would often do simple favors for the father and son to make their lives easier such as cleaning or bringing home pineapples. Upon their leaving to a new safehaven the Seeker found herself deeply saddend, however Brandon still sneaks over to the company on occasion. Brandon has placed E'kari under the protection of his men known only as "The Rogues".

: ● '''[[Enkhjargal Dalamiq]]''' - This stoic summoner is actually E'kari's master. He took her under his wing when she first arrived to Heartwood and had to terrorize her into being able to use her magic for anything beyond healing. His methods worked and looking back, E'kari owes him all of the strength she possesses now. Beyond that, she thinks he is a wonderful person who has natural ability with children. Who knew!

: ● '''[[Camille Everardi]]''' - Camille is Enkhjargal Dalamiq's wife and a talented mage, among many other things. E'kari has seen Camille fight in more than one way in the past with spars. She found this woman to be a strong female rolemodel for her in the past when she was just learning to fight--and still looks up to her to this day. E'kari couldn't be happier that her master and friend found happiness in each other's company.

: ● '''[[Chokho Viqqoh]]''' - A fierce, fiery and loyal amnesiac-Keeper who recently joined Heartwood. Since her arrival, Chokho and E'kari have become fast friends; bonding over their shared love of martial arts and string instruments. Though the two differ greatly in temperament and personality they have a shared respect for one another.

: ● '''[[Narumi Kotokaze]]''' - More commonly referred to as "Kota". E'kari met this Maelstrom affiliated bounty hunter on the road when she was set upon by highwaymen--which Kota easily dispatched. Since then the Raen has been promoted to first lieutenant of the Storm-guard and assigned to work as the handler of the former pirate Skyfwyb. The officer comissions her medicine from E'kari's "Alchemist's Alley". 

:● '''[[Nevrynn Alarone]]''' - While E'kari initially mistrusted the Seeker for his roguish persona and wanderlust, in resent months she has come to warm up to her sister's mate. Though she may not know him as well as she might like, he makes her sister happy. And the affection between the two are plain to see.

: ● '''[[Jake Jakkya]]''' - A red-lenses wearing void-mage who has spent a great deal of his life as a pit fighter. This spellsword is particularly close to E'kari's adopted mother, Nack, which makes him a brother of sorts. E'kari sorely wishes he would be less devil-may-care in demeanor at times, or at least care a bit more about his own life. She's always pleased when he pops up unharmed now and again. This former criminal has been blacklisted from Heartwood for his criminal debts to the Syndicate--though he has since paid them back in full, becoming an ally to the group.

: ● '''[[Ash Valken]]''' - The tall, brooding brother of Nyscera who has a strong dislike for Rath. E'kari met this former bandit spying on her a few times. Eventually the two had a sit-down conversation and became close--which was a new thing for the Au'Ra. E'kari taught Ash how to play a grasswhistle, fixed his broken hearing-aid and engaged in a playful spar. Somehow, in one way or another, most of their interactions end in awkward sexual-tension. The day Ash left Heartwood, E'kari gave him a necklace made from a strap of her doctor's bag to remember her by and encouraged him to follow his dreams.

: ● '''[[Akiyuki Okuma]]''' - The large, quiet, but overall pleasant husband of Cio who has joined Heartwood since his marriage to the plucky, pastel nursemaid. This reserved Au'Ra is a welcome addition to the family.

: ● '''[[Kenoni Eien’no]]''' - The betrothed of her friend Moralee. A stern and stoic acquaintance but never the less, E'kari admires his loyalty and commitment to Mordry. She hopes the two will have a wonderful life together with their child.

: ● '''[[J'edite Shedai]]''' - A fellow enthusiast of martial arts that spends most of her time roaming Thanalan seeking glory for the Jackal tribe. The two have had run-ins here and there as J'edite was on hunts and once sparred under the Sultan tree. The Seekers employ very different styles of their own making: while E'kari fights with her heavy handed "Golem Step" ideal for doing battle with armed and armored foes; J'edite uses fast kicks transitioning into fluid jabs in her "Fire Dancer" style that proves to be the bane of slower opponents. As it stands the two are friendly rivals.

: ● '''[[Alpon Adpon]]''' - The Pink Punisher! E'kari has met this "battle-chef" in passing more than once. The lalafell's skill in combat seems to rival his culinary prowess.

: ● '''[[Namaka Ebisu]]''' - A strange and sweet water-sprite who lives in a fountain. You want tree slugs? Because this is how you get tree slugs.

: ● '''[[Alistar Stormfist]]''' - Found by Heartwood on the road to Little Ala Mhigo, this former Garlean slave was near death and wearing a magitek collar. With no where else to go and no life to return to, this gentle giant returned with the caravan to the Heartwood Homestead.

: ● '''[[Lucinda Kovix]]''' - This kindly and capable, Ishgardian drifter met Doctor Sol as she was returning from conversing with the Everschade and her husband's chocobo ran off. Lucinda and E'kari worked together to catch the bird and got to talking about Lucy's need for work and also to find her missing brother. The Miqo'te has since come to stay at Heartwood which has overjoyed E'kari.

: ● '''[[L'nela Varya]]''' - A one-eyed woman who really enjoys taking a bite out of life! In all seriousness--L'nela is a chipper and quirky person. A little emotional at times, but rightfully so; as her recent years have been filled with trauma. Both physical and emotional. Careful, she likes to nibble!
 

===<div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#4d0000;font-size:14px;color:#FFFFFF;">Disliked</div><div style="border:0px solid; padding:8px">===

:● '''[[Tharl Oom Khash - NPC]]''' - A being made of corruption who takes his name from his place of creation. While to most guardians of the Shroud he would be a natural enemy anyway--this thing has taken a special and terrible shine to tormenting E'kari and all of Heartwood. His track record of terrible deeds is staggering and body count ever on the rise. His most memorable in E'kari's mind were her children, Sagu'a and Cize. The vengeful mother aided in his demise by pummeling him with special stones--from Tynos and Kaiya--she formed into barbaric gauntlets.


:● '''[[The Pumpking - NPC]]''' - This strange and otherwordly being was initially just an unsettling presence that occasionally appeared in the Heartwood halls offering bargains for steep moral prices. It was not until this squash-headed man manipulated Tustin Lafell into a contract that he became E'kari's enemy. The Seeker used excessive force against the entitiy, beating him into a puddle of black ooze. He has since returned to haunt Heartwood, though has stifled a sum of E'kari's animosity toward him by fixing her carbuncle's shattered gem and helping finish off Khash for good.

:● '''[[Skyfwyb Aergankawyn]]''' - E'kari was not fond of this woman from the start. The monsterous Seawolf had committed crimes against Heartwood on numerous occasions. E'kari was glad to hear of her sting and arrest by the Maelstrom. In the time that has followed, however, the curt and belligerent captain seems to have changed her ways to some extent. E'kari now views her slightly more favorably after having witnessed Skyfwyb's capacity to care genuinely for another person. It was also by the aid of this former pirate that the Solsong household was able to cross the sea to the east. As it stands now they are allies.

== <div style="padding:10px 15px; background:#4d0000; font-size:20px; color:#ffffff">'''Character Trivia'''</div>==
 
:■ E'kari refers to people as 'master' or 'lady' because as a young newcomer to Gridania she was hazed by the local youths told that it was how non-tribal people spoke to one another. Excited to make 'friends' the Seeker picked this up almost immediately. It was not until this was an ingrained habit that she learned it was all a ruse for E'kari to make a fool of herself every time she spoke.
:■ Despite the skill not coming up particularly often, E'kari is adept at Thavnarian belly-dancing. This and many similar styles of celebratory dance were used among she and her kin in their tribal lands; though this is actually not their people's only connection to the middle east. The dress style, use of Alchemy and herbal medicines, even their taste in food has been greatly influenced by trade with Thavnaire, much like many others who reside in Thanalan.
:■ Due to E'kari's heavy aspection to Earth she is notoriously difficult to knock off her feet and has immense stamina; adversely, she is not as quick as she'd like to be and swimming in deep water takes a significant amount of energy.
:■ Though most are unaware--or attribute some of her mannerisms to merely being quirky--E'kari actually suffers from high functioning autism. Social queues tend to be her biggest hurdle, along with focusing on the big picture of tasks as opposed to minuet details, and sorting out painful emotions.
