<div>'''General''' Onuma is a miqo'te that lived on the outskirts of Gridania prior to the Calamity. She was one of a family of three that lived somewhere in the southern thickets of the Black Shroud, but since that time she is the only surviving member. Thinking she lost everything, she moved to the harsh desert region of Thanalan to try to start her life anew. When she arrived at Ul'dah, she had little but the clothing on her back, two throwing knives and a few mint currencies of gil on her person.

Nearly four cycles later, she is now making a fairly earned name for herself amongst the merchants and has been seen as a threat to competitors for her goods. Despite being renown for her efforts in the marketing business, she began to spread her goals elsewhere and took up arms against the guerrilla warfare executed by the Amal'jaa, and soon became a familiar face on the most traveled trade routes of Thanalan. In this span of time, she traveled everywhere to both learn and spread her capabilities. She now uses those learned skills to live comfortably.

She since moved on to other things, engaging her endeavors to be a free-reign Paladin, taught from the Sultansworn. Over the course of her time spent with her newly founded comrades, Onuma is beginning to understand what it means to be one, and what kind of path is carved for her now.

They have overcome immense trials to be where they are today. But they are one friend less. Since then, Onuma has undergone significant changes and trials over the many passing moons. She's had her ups and downs, the mindset and the heart shaken, and through this her willpower and spirit tested. Haunted by a history that plagues her, Onuma is seeking out a path to right what the past wronged.

<div>'''Appearance'''

Onuma stands tall for a miqo'te woman, a full five fulm, four ilm in height. Her stature is largely unimposing to the other races, but among her peers she could be considered intimidating for this trait, with a pair of large and expressive amber eyes that possess an intense stare. Scathed and burned from a great mission that could have spelled life or death for her and her comrades, the Keeper's dark hair is singed short; straw-like in texture. Several burns darken her already marked face, though with treatment they have begun to fade over time. Her arms suffer a similar effect, odd scrapes and deep cuts lining the flesh beneath treated burn wounds. On the base of her lion-like tail is a missing patch of fur, leaving a bald spot in its place. It's since been treated too, so it's not unusual to find that spot wrapped up. She prefers dark colors over vibrant ones, and for that matter is hardly seen without her armor or weapons nearby. On the rare occasion, though, she will attempt to dress up, often in two parts reluctance to not look like the laziness she feels.

<div style="padding:10px 15px; background:#000000;font-size:20px;color:#cfd6f7;">'''Behavior'''</div>

Onuma has come a long way from where she was. She is not as icy as she was before, and has warmed up to meeting others, dependent upon their initial impression on her. There are moments when she may seem distant or appears to be reflecting on a thought, but it doesn't happen as often as it used to, though sometimes it may be her trying to see a situation from all sides. Her ears and tail are the most visible indicator of how she may be feeling, however, as they become animated when she feels strongly about something.

:●💔'''[[Lotan'to Jiub]]''' - She let him go. Onuma broke away and it makes her want to shrivel up and die inside. Whether or not this was the right decision, she doesn't know, but it hurts. A lot. More than knowing she had to do it for herself than anything else. 
<div style="border:0px solid; padding:3px"></div>

:●❤'''[[Y'lyfriel Sikah]]''' - Tensions have been extremely high, and this fact did little to help the emerging wall that prevented Onuma from speaking with Lyfriel on terms that were not built upon stress and anger. The two had an argument that made Onuma question many things, though it also humbled her toward Lyfriel and her hidden pains. They have since spoken and their relationship remains stable, but the pinch will be there for sometime. Onuma deeply regrets that aftermath. 
<div style="border:0px solid; padding:3px"></div>

:●❤'''[[Rah'na Lihzeh]]''' - Onuma has not spoken with Rahn'a often of late, only really seeing him during their training sessions with Dawson. When she last saw him again it was during an ambush that brought the kit to his knees without his staff. The deathly sight she saw him as birthed a deep terror. She vows never to lose another sibling-figure again. 
<div style="border:0px solid; padding:3px"></div>

:●❤'''[[Ralamano Nulumano]]''' - After a harrowing and emotional evening Onuma realized that Ralamano and she are like as the same people with the same background and uprising -- to an extent. In roundabout ways it is almost as if they were living in each other's shoes, feeling the same pain the other was dealt. It was a moment that Onuma could spill the secret she was hiding and come clean, enough to look toward forgiveness. Onuma now expresses complete devotion toward this man; he is surely one she will blanket and shoulder for days to come.
<div style="border:0px solid; padding:3px"></div>

:●'''[[Sighard Albrecht]]''' - Onuma is saddened that Sighard continues to pursue her, hurting himself in the process. She is uncertain as to where things will go from here, but it makes her stomach clench and the stubborn, self-abusing behavior pinches her soul.

:●'''[[Dawson Colwell]]''' - Upon having a tremendous discussion between herself and Dawson, Onuma realizes that they are not so different. Even now, she feels like their wisdom and knowledge intertwine like vines on a vineyard. Onuma is uncertain as to how Dawson feels about her after her argument with Lyfriel, however, believing that she held some kind of bitterness inside. Whether or not that was true, Onuma knows he's only speaking from his mind and heart through the perception. She hopes to dispel this notion, and show that she wanted nothing more than to see that Lyfriel and Rhesh'ir did not go down in flames.
<div style="border:0px solid; padding:3px"></div>

:●'''[[O'vitah Nunh]]''' - Onuma met this scruffy looking male miqo'te in Limsa Lominsa. He was surprisingly calm, for a sunseeker, and it lended to Onuma a good vibe. Since that time, he has become more than just a mercenary looking for partnership and work; he's more akin to a roaming father. Onuma is thankful for his guiding presence; she's needed that more than ever right now. She worries about the older miqo'te's health of late.

:●'''[[Kodaro Ba'rococo]]''' - Onuma has not been around Kodaro much of late. Though it wouldn't look it, she seems to shy away from him if the conversation doesn't pertain to action or mission. She's since come back around to accepting his presence, though the progression has been slow.
<div style="border:0px solid; padding:3px"></div>

:●'''[[Solelle Frilaix]]''' - Onuma doesn't know what it is about Solelle but she is certain that it has to do with just how detached she is from the ways of ordinary elezen behavior. The miqo'te thinks fondly of her and enjoys her presence a great deal. It's not a common thing for Onuma to accept such a person, and Solelle just waltzed on through that barrier.
<div style="border:0px solid; padding:3px"></div>

:●'''[[Lahn Flaval]]'''- Lahn is a bit of a mystery to Onuma. Though Elezen herself, she acts nothing of the sort, just like Solelle. But unlike Solelle, Lahn is very much a timid sort, despite her friendly nature. Still, she's more intelligent and clever than Onuma could even begin to fathom, and Onuma appreciates that about her.

:●'''[[Rhysaufort Celestaux]]''' - Onuma met this elezen boy on a day when he just waltzed on in to the home without greeting himself first. Though this behavior made her distrusting of him at first, the Keeper warmed up to him incredibly fast. While he may not have the combat readiness that others possess, she finds his intuitive nature and resourcefulness a refreshing addition. He also kept her sane during her first real climb. 
<div style="border:0px solid; padding:3px"></div>

:●'''[[Stahl Shepherd]]''' - Onuma hasn't known Stahl for very long but, watching his expertise with blade wielding and his willingness to follow directions makes him a staunch ally. She decided to reward him with one of her prized blades for this reason.

:●'''[[Ehrinn Thorn]]''' - Onuma met this hyur during a training session. She had seen her before, but they truly didn't get to speak until then. The girl has a keen eye for archery -- something Onuma lacks. Adding to this, Onuma has further come to understand Thorn, and admires the inner strength and resolve she carries. Onuma has also come to learn a thing or two from her.

:●'''[[Oriel Durand]]''' - Onuma has spoken with Oriel more than once, and now that she has, she kind of likes him. A bit quirky, but he certainly enjoys his rocks. And Onuma has to admit she does too, if for different reasons. The two connected over this fairly well, or so she believes. Thanks, rocks of Eorzea!
<div style="border:0px solid; padding:3px"></div>

:●'''[[Vesna Novaar]]''' - Onuma is uncertain as to how to begin bringing the Vesna she knew back, as the new Vesna Novaar certainly unnerves her -- to an extent. Her devotion to her friendship with Onuma, the strange power sleeping within her; all of it makes her question it all the more. Still, to say she didn't like having her around would be a lie. 
<div style="border:0px solid; padding:3px"></div>

:●'''[[Rhesh'ir Zhwan]]''' - Onuma is uncertain as to how things are between her and Rhesh'ir of late. He is friendly, but she is certain there's been some hard feelings ever since she and Lyfriel had an argument. What worries her more is his distance from her and the rest of the company. She can only hope that once these passing events are over, that he comes out more.
<div style="border:0px solid; padding:3px"></div>

:●'''[[U'dahsh'a Nunh]]''' - Onuma now knows a thing or two more about Dahsh'a. She's become a little more receptive to him and speaks with him more when he comes to her. She's warmed up to him more, though she hopes to see this improve as the days pass on. 
<div style="border:0px solid; padding:3px"></div>

:●'''[[Tahla'li Tayuun]]''' - Onuma can see why his relationship with Lyfriel would struggle; though, at the same time, Onuma can also tell where it all started too. She can only hope that things will look up from here -- after something has been settled between him and Rhesh'ir. 
<div style="border:0px solid; padding:3px"></div>

:●'''[[X'linwh Tia]]''' - (Deceased) Onuma has overcome the initial shock that Lin's brutal end shook her to the core with. But now, she struggles to let the past sleep undisturbed. If there was something she could do - anything, for that matter - she would have done so. And he might have lived to see another day. His last moments haunt her to this day, in her sleep.
<div style="border:0px solid; padding:3px"></div>

:●'''[[Rinha'li Dhavha]]''' - Onuma feels as though she misjudged Rinha'li's character. Knowing of his history and what has caused him to feel and behave the way he does, Onuma senses a great deal of understanding and kinsmanship with the boy, even if he may not. She hopes to lend her hand to him now, should he accept it, and overcome the low way of living that he experiences now.
<div style="border:0px solid; padding:3px"></div>

:●'''[[Leo Arkwright]]''' - Onuma likes Leo's personality, even if he can be a little tiring with his doubts and stubborn disagreements. And he likes to play dirty in combat, which isn't always a bad thing. Still, it's going to take him a while to build her trust completely; she's not entirely sure whose side he's on, at times.
<div style="border:0px solid; padding:3px"></div>

:●'''[[Bram Uldthyr]]'''- Bram is a strange one. He appears to lack combat aptitude, but she can't deny his wit and knowledge. Especially over ashkin and soulkin, among other things. Considered a ghost hunter of sorts, Onuma is still yet to consider what to make of this hyur. He has his observations and they can be particularly acute.
<div style="border:0px solid; padding:3px"></div>

:●'''[[Noor Falmah]]''' - Onuma doesn't know too much about Noor. She finds her skills as a medic curious, and she would like to see more of it. But she wields the power of conjury well, almost on a level like Dawson. She feels a sort of kinsmanship due to Noor's origins, living on farmland, but other than that she'll have to hear more from her to really understand her.

:●'''[[Lynn'e Sparrow]]''' - Onuma has ceased to be terribly angry with Sparrow, though to say she was warm with him would be reaching a bit far. His behavior and actions from here can only tell her if it's worth talking to him on a serious level again; though, it did surprise her that he bestowed trust to her should he have issues amidst the group. And she has noticed he was supportive of her in their last investigation. Maybe he ain't so bad after all.

:●'''[[Seda'li Tayuun]]''' - Onuma doesn't really know Seda'li all too well. He made himself look like a gargantuan arse when he first met the free company, but since then he's relented. He's extremely close toward Tahla'li, though why for she won't ask. She'll take the safe assumption over family. While Onuma is not against his presence, she doesn't have the most welcoming atmosphere to him. But she is willing to speak to him, and he has made steps to form a bridge, so she respects that.

=== <div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#990000;font-size:14px;color:#FFFFFF;"><center>Enemies & Other Characters</center></div> ===

:●'''[[Arky Mosuke]]''' - Onuma met Arky two moons ago, where they ended up in a small scuffle over misunderstandings. Now that they have spoken again, Onuma believes it was just that; misunderstandings. She's come to measure him with newly-gained respect, and fast-gained was their friendship. She's taken to speaking with him when they have a chance, lately.
<div style="border:0px solid; padding:3px"></div>

:●'''[[Totoko Toko]]''' - Onuma hasn't seen this lalafell since she asked her to accompany the group to Coerthas. She still has fond thoughts of this woman, but there's a worrisome feeling gnawing at her gut that something has happened, or that she was led elsewhere. Regardless, she hopes that wherever Totoko is, that she remains safe. 
<div style="border:0px solid; padding:3px"></div>

:●'''[[Sizha'to Chalahko]]''' - Onuma hasn't known the male Keeper for very long, though she met him through X'linwh and found him decidedly pleasant. About Lin's age, she discovered, but he and the Sunseeker are malms apart in personality. She finds him a curiosity, despite. He's an intelligent sort, and though Gridanian, she feels as though there is a connection between them, small as it might be for the moment. The two ran into each other once, but it was at a bad time. Sadly, she's not seen him since.
<div style="border:0px solid; padding:3px"></div>

:●'''[[Rahn Lihzeh]]''' - Rahn'a's mother. When they first encountered her, she appeared little different than the bloodthirsty Siroccovi warriors. Underneath the guise, however, was someone who was no less a person than Onuma and the group. She respects her a great deal.

:●'''[[L'mila Lania]]''' - Onuma met this young miqo'te at the same time she met Tyago. Though vastly uncultured and unlearned of the world, Onuma doesn't believe her to be completely helpless. There is a way to teach when there's a will to learn, after all, and so far Mila has not shown her otherwise. Onuma had a small reunion with Mila one day when she was brought to Arky's home. But things went awry between Mila and Arky, and that was not a situation that the paladin wanted to step into. Perhaps after things blow over... 
<div style="border:0px solid; padding:3px"></div>

:●'''[[Kalulu Morusu (NPC)]]''' - Onuma's maidservant. She's a lalafell with a whiplash tongue and has no ends to her wit and banter. She's lived in Ul'dah all her life, but while some may think that unfortunate, Onuma fast discovered Kalulu had no end of lessons to teach. She utilizes them on a daily basis, and it's astounding just how much she can pass for a noblewoman. Needless to say, though, the mi'qote would be lying if she said she didn't prefer her to stay where she can keep an eye on her. 
<div style="border:0px solid; padding:3px"></div>

:●'''[[Mutton (NPC)]]''' - Onuma's other retainer. He's a big, burly Hellsguard that takes it upon himself to be the 'guard' of the family when they're within a City-state, usually employing himself as a handy escort if not to be an available hand. Onuma grew fond of him the moment he opened his mouth. He can be grumpy, and he can certainly be mouthy, but no one could say he wasn't passionate about his duties; especially when he gets to enjoy his dreams as a cook, having been a student at the Bismarck. Of course, his mouth has sometimes gotten him into trouble, too. 
<div style="border:0px solid; padding:3px"></div>

:●'''[[Ansgar Broadhaft]]''' - One of Onuma's very first friends. They met when she was out traveling on the fields, away from Ul'dah. She was completely quiet at the time, consumed in her thoughts. This made it easy for Ansgar to perceive it as him being the problem, but she was quick to assure him as the proverbial ice melted and the two of them began a quiet friendship. They were content to walk silently and connect through body language, but when it came to civilization, he was the more talkative of the two. She hasn't seen the man since the incident that left him with one ruined eye. 
<div style="border:0px solid; padding:3px"></div>

:●'''[[Surilian Blu]]''' - Onuma came to accept Suri around the same time that the girl decided to detach herself from the family and left them behind. While she expresses no unrelenting feelings over this, Onuma can't help but wonder what sparked her to abandon those that came to care for her and seek shelter elsewhere. 
<div style="border:0px solid; padding:3px"></div>

:●'''[[S'aerdha Tia]]''' - S'aerdha is a person of mixed feelings to Onuma. The two have rarely spoken, but while initially distrusting of him, she did come to learn his logic and way of thinking by far similar to her own. But unlike her, he plays the role of the proverbial thorn far more strongly than she ever could. She does want to eventually know more about him, as he has been one of the only allies to the free company thus far. For this she is thankful.
<div style="border:0px solid; padding:3px"></div>

:●'''[[Alex Castell]]''' - Onuma has not seen Alex for many moons. Wherever she is, Onuma spares only a few minutes to think about her and wonder over her whereabouts.
<div style="border:0px solid; padding:3px"></div>

:●'''[[C'aehli Ira]]''' - Onuma has not seen C'aehli ever since things went downhill in Coerthas. Vesna's lack of any memory over the woman who hired her has left her questioning what has happened between the two of them. 
<div style="border:0px solid; padding:3px"></div>

:●'''[[Keroa Mosuke]]''' - Onuma met this Keeper female while attending a grand ball in Ul'dah. She found her something of an anomaly, if only because she seemed to enjoy teasing Onuma and Arky over something that Onuma views as sacred. But she opened up more once the three of them could talk elsewhere, and it's been revealed that she harbors a great deal of care toward Arky and his condition. The one day she saw her again in Limsa, Onuma learned a great deal more about Keroa than she felt was comfortable. It's something she's kept in the back of her mind since.
<div style="border:0px solid; padding:3px"></div>

:●'''[[Mijisaa Qisaa]]''' - Onuma has conflicted feelings over Mijisaa. She wants to like the woman, but since the happenings in Coerthas, the miqo'te felt there was a great disconnect between events, and this stirred an ever greater question whirling inside Onuma; could she have, in conscience, truly not have cared for the outcome of her hired help?

:■ "Her pop and kid died shortly after hell rained from the sky. Coincidentally, so did a party of four Wood Wailers. Of course, no one knows what happened that day, but sometimes I wonder when I see her in the city. Who knows; there's still a missing man out there." '''-Gridanian Resident'''

:■ "Aye. I heard o' her. Don't know what much I can tell ye, but I think she's somethin' to hide. No one stays quiet fer that long and don't have a tale to share." '''-Wandering Adventurer'''

"She is the greatest! She's smart, and pretty and I bet she holds alot more secrets then I do. I will grow up to be just like her and one day I'm so going to ask about those secrets. But for now I'll just hide over here and watch her." '''-Surilian Blu'''

"Her? She's a sorry excuse of a blade maiden. But then again I can see talent there. And her clothing colors are all so wrong. Waste I say! Tragic waste. But I suppose it could be worse. But then again we have something in common...I can smell it." '''-Liana Blu'''

"Onuma? I can't quite confirm it, but I've heard musings that her mercenary work has the makings of myth. She and Lotan'to even assaulted a Garlean garrison alone, if the rumors ring true." '''-Kodaro Ba'rococo'''

"She sounds a leader, looks a leader. She and her lover. I don't know how she fell in with this troupe, but I feel safe with my back to her, at least. Again, my expectations are shaken, in what to expect from a Moonkeeper. Also, she wears a warrior's armor; I am not eager to fall in her ill favor." '''-Solelle
Frilaix'''

"Onuma's still our work horse, but a lot has weighed her down lately. I'm afraid she'll crack under the pressure. If she let us help her with her burdens, she might see some relief." '''-Dawson Colwell'''

"Since Y'adebh was taken from me, I'd not thought to have a family, again. Not like that. Onuma has proven to be a sister born apart from me, and I shall do all in my power to honour this sentiment. Knowing I've someone I might confide in....certain, such a circumstance as our meeting must be significant." '''-Y'lyfriel Sikah'''

"First impression? She's a Warrior, through and through. Now, though? I'm not so sure that's all there is to her. Time will tell, I guess." '''-Alex Castell'''

"Oh, Onuma. She always tries to project a rough exterior, and she certainly has a potent bite to her words. But you should see her when she thinks she's alone; always playing with those little clockwork toys I make her. She's surrounded by the pets I find for her. I know her better than anyone, even herself. Hehe." '''-Lotan'to Jiub'''

"Onuma? Hmm.. She may seem scary, but she's really not! She's a nice, kind person under all her lack of smiles! She's really, REALLY sweet! You just gotta give'r a chance!" '''-Rah'na Lihzeh'''

"Tha' poor girl's go' a lot on'r mind. She's a young'n though, n' far be it from me t'tell her what t'do with'r life. She's strong though... N'she'll make it through, m'sure." '''-O'vitah Nunh'''

"The two times I met her, it was always pleasant. I wouldn't mind talking to her again, honestly. Maybe over coffee or tea or whatever she likes to drink. Maybe she can even give me a pointer or two with using a sword." '''-Sizha'to Chalahko'''

"She's got talons, I swear. She took her gloves off one day and I saw them - she even had a nail file that she used to sharpen them!" '''-Lynn'wo Vahnal'''

<div>'''General''' Onuma is a miqo'te that lived on the outskirts of Gridania prior to the Calamity. She was one of a family of three that lived somewhere in the southern thickets of the Black Shroud, but since that time she is the only surviving member. Thinking she lost everything, she moved to the harsh desert region of Thanalan to try to start her life anew. When she arrived at Ul'dah, she had little but the clothing on her back, two throwing knives and a few mint currencies of gil on her person.

Nearly four cycles later, she is now making a fairly earned name for herself amongst the merchants and has been seen as a threat to competitors for her goods. Despite being renown for her efforts in the marketing business, she began to spread her goals elsewhere and took up arms against the guerrilla warfare executed by the Amal'jaa, and soon became a familiar face on the most traveled trade routes of Thanalan. In this span of time, she traveled everywhere to both learn and spread her capabilities. She now uses those learned skills to live comfortably.

She since moved on to other things, engaging her endeavors to be a free-reign Paladin, taught from the Sultansworn. Over the course of her time spent with her newly founded comrades, Onuma is beginning to understand what it means to be one, and what kind of path is carved for her now.

They have overcome immense trials to be where they are today. But they are one friend less. Since then, Onuma has undergone significant changes and trials over the many passing moons. She's had her ups and downs, the mindset and the heart shaken, and through this her willpower and spirit tested. Haunted by a history that plagues her, Onuma is seeking out a path to right what the past wronged.

<div>'''Appearance'''

Onuma stands tall for a miqo'te woman, a full five fulm, four ilm in height. Her stature is largely unimposing to the other races, but among her peers she could be considered intimidating for this trait, with a pair of large and expressive amber eyes that possess an intense stare. Scathed and burned from a great mission that could have spelled life or death for her and her comrades, the Keeper's dark hair is singed short; straw-like in texture. Several burns darken her already marked face, though with treatment they have begun to fade over time. Her arms suffer a similar effect, odd scrapes and deep cuts lining the flesh beneath treated burn wounds. On the base of her lion-like tail is a missing patch of fur, leaving a bald spot in its place. It's since been treated too, so it's not unusual to find that spot wrapped up. She prefers dark colors over vibrant ones, and for that matter is hardly seen without her armor or weapons nearby. On the rare occasion, though, she will attempt to dress up, often in two parts reluctance to not look like the laziness she feels.

<div style="padding:10px 15px; background:#000000;font-size:20px;color:#cfd6f7;">'''Behavior'''</div>

Onuma has come a long way from where she was. She is not as icy as she was before, and has warmed up to meeting others, dependent upon their initial impression on her. There are moments when she may seem distant or appears to be reflecting on a thought, but it doesn't happen as often as it used to, though sometimes it may be her trying to see a situation from all sides. Her ears and tail are the most visible indicator of how she may be feeling, however, as they become animated when she feels strongly about something.

:●💔'''[[Lotan'to Jiub]]''' - She let him go. Onuma broke away and it makes her want to shrivel up and die inside. Whether or not this was the right decision, she doesn't know, but it hurts. A lot. More than knowing she had to do it for herself than anything else. 
<div style="border:0px solid; padding:3px"></div>

:●❤'''[[Y'lyfriel Sikah]]''' - Tensions have been extremely high, and this fact did little to help the emerging wall that prevented Onuma from speaking with Lyfriel on terms that were not built upon stress and anger. The two had an argument that made Onuma question many things, though it also humbled her toward Lyfriel and her hidden pains. They have since spoken and their relationship remains stable, but the pinch will be there for sometime. Onuma deeply regrets that aftermath. 
<div style="border:0px solid; padding:3px"></div>

:●❤'''[[Rah'na Lihzeh]]''' - Onuma has not spoken with Rahn'a often of late, only really seeing him during their training sessions with Dawson. When she last saw him again it was during an ambush that brought the kit to his knees without his staff. The deathly sight she saw him as birthed a deep terror. She vows never to lose another sibling-figure again. 
<div style="border:0px solid; padding:3px"></div>

:●❤'''[[Ralamano Nulumano]]''' - After a harrowing and emotional evening Onuma realized that Ralamano and she are like as the same people with the same background and uprising -- to an extent. In roundabout ways it is almost as if they were living in each other's shoes, feeling the same pain the other was dealt. It was a moment that Onuma could spill the secret she was hiding and come clean, enough to look toward forgiveness. Onuma now expresses complete devotion toward this man; he is surely one she will blanket and shoulder for days to come.
<div style="border:0px solid; padding:3px"></div>

:●'''[[Sighard Albrecht]]''' - Onuma is saddened that Sighard continues to pursue her, hurting himself in the process. She is uncertain as to where things will go from here, but it makes her stomach clench and the stubborn, self-abusing behavior pinches her soul.

:●'''[[Dawson Colwell]]''' - Upon having a tremendous discussion between herself and Dawson, Onuma realizes that they are not so different. Even now, she feels like their wisdom and knowledge intertwine like vines on a vineyard. Onuma is uncertain as to how Dawson feels about her after her argument with Lyfriel, however, believing that she held some kind of bitterness inside. Whether or not that was true, Onuma knows he's only speaking from his mind and heart through the perception. She hopes to dispel this notion, and show that she wanted nothing more than to see that Lyfriel and Rhesh'ir did not go down in flames.
<div style="border:0px solid; padding:3px"></div>

:●'''[[O'vitah Nunh]]''' - Onuma met this scruffy looking male miqo'te in Limsa Lominsa. He was surprisingly calm, for a sunseeker, and it lended to Onuma a good vibe. Since that time, he has become more than just a mercenary looking for partnership and work; he's more akin to a roaming father. Onuma is thankful for his guiding presence; she's needed that more than ever right now. She worries about the older miqo'te's health of late.

:●'''[[Kodaro Ba'rococo]]''' - Onuma has not been around Kodaro much of late. Though it wouldn't look it, she seems to shy away from him if the conversation doesn't pertain to action or mission. She's since come back around to accepting his presence, though the progression has been slow.
<div style="border:0px solid; padding:3px"></div>

:●'''[[Solelle Frilaix]]''' - Onuma doesn't know what it is about Solelle but she is certain that it has to do with just how detached she is from the ways of ordinary elezen behavior. The miqo'te thinks fondly of her and enjoys her presence a great deal. It's not a common thing for Onuma to accept such a person, and Solelle just waltzed on through that barrier.
<div style="border:0px solid; padding:3px"></div>

:●'''[[Lahn Flaval]]'''- Lahn is a bit of a mystery to Onuma. Though Elezen herself, she acts nothing of the sort, just like Solelle. But unlike Solelle, Lahn is very much a timid sort, despite her friendly nature. Still, she's more intelligent and clever than Onuma could even begin to fathom, and Onuma appreciates that about her.

:●'''[[Rhysaufort Celestaux]]''' - Onuma met this elezen boy on a day when he just waltzed on in to the home without greeting himself first. Though this behavior made her distrusting of him at first, the Keeper warmed up to him incredibly fast. While he may not have the combat readiness that others possess, she finds his intuitive nature and resourcefulness a refreshing addition. He also kept her sane during her first real climb. 
<div style="border:0px solid; padding:3px"></div>

:●'''[[Stahl Shepherd]]''' - Onuma hasn't known Stahl for very long but, watching his expertise with blade wielding and his willingness to follow directions makes him a staunch ally. She decided to reward him with one of her prized blades for this reason.

:●'''[[Ehrinn Thorn]]''' - Onuma met this hyur during a training session. She had seen her before, but they truly didn't get to speak until then. The girl has a keen eye for archery -- something Onuma lacks. Adding to this, Onuma has further come to understand Thorn, and admires the inner strength and resolve she carries. Onuma has also come to learn a thing or two from her.

:●'''[[Oriel Durand]]''' - Onuma has spoken with Oriel more than once, and now that she has, she kind of likes him. A bit quirky, but he certainly enjoys his rocks. And Onuma has to admit she does too, if for different reasons. The two connected over this fairly well, or so she believes. Thanks, rocks of Eorzea!
<div style="border:0px solid; padding:3px"></div>

:●'''[[Vesna Novaar]]''' - Onuma is uncertain as to how to begin bringing the Vesna she knew back, as the new Vesna Novaar certainly unnerves her -- to an extent. Her devotion to her friendship with Onuma, the strange power sleeping within her; all of it makes her question it all the more. Still, to say she didn't like having her around would be a lie. 
<div style="border:0px solid; padding:3px"></div>

:●'''[[Rhesh'ir Zhwan]]''' - Onuma is uncertain as to how things are between her and Rhesh'ir of late. He is friendly, but she is certain there's been some hard feelings ever since she and Lyfriel had an argument. What worries her more is his distance from her and the rest of the company. She can only hope that once these passing events are over, that he comes out more.
<div style="border:0px solid; padding:3px"></div>

:●'''[[U'dahsh'a Nunh]]''' - Onuma now knows a thing or two more about Dahsh'a. She's become a little more receptive to him and speaks with him more when he comes to her. She's warmed up to him more, though she hopes to see this improve as the days pass on. 
<div style="border:0px solid; padding:3px"></div>

:●'''[[Tahla'li Tayuun]]''' - Onuma can see why his relationship with Lyfriel would struggle; though, at the same time, Onuma can also tell where it all started too. She can only hope that things will look up from here -- after something has been settled between him and Rhesh'ir. 
<div style="border:0px solid; padding:3px"></div>

:●'''[[X'linwh Tia]]''' - (Deceased) Onuma has overcome the initial shock that Lin's brutal end shook her to the core with. But now, she struggles to let the past sleep undisturbed. If there was something she could do - anything, for that matter - she would have done so. And he might have lived to see another day. His last moments haunt her to this day, in her sleep.
<div style="border:0px solid; padding:3px"></div>

:●'''[[Rinha'li Dhavha]]''' - Onuma feels as though she misjudged Rinha'li's character. Knowing of his history and what has caused him to feel and behave the way he does, Onuma senses a great deal of understanding and kinsmanship with the boy, even if he may not. She hopes to lend her hand to him now, should he accept it, and overcome the low way of living that he experiences now.
<div style="border:0px solid; padding:3px"></div>

:●'''[[Leo Arkwright]]''' - Onuma likes Leo's personality, even if he can be a little tiring with his doubts and stubborn disagreements. And he likes to play dirty in combat, which isn't always a bad thing. Still, it's going to take him a while to build her trust completely; she's not entirely sure whose side he's on, at times.
<div style="border:0px solid; padding:3px"></div>

:●'''[[Bram Uldthyr]]'''- Bram is a strange one. He appears to lack combat aptitude, but she can't deny his wit and knowledge. Especially over ashkin and soulkin, among other things. Considered a ghost hunter of sorts, Onuma is still yet to consider what to make of this hyur. He has his observations and they can be particularly acute.
<div style="border:0px solid; padding:3px"></div>

:●'''[[Noor Falmah]]''' - Onuma doesn't know too much about Noor. She finds her skills as a medic curious, and she would like to see more of it. But she wields the power of conjury well, almost on a level like Dawson. She feels a sort of kinsmanship due to Noor's origins, living on farmland, but other than that she'll have to hear more from her to really understand her.

:●'''[[Lynn'e Sparrow]]''' - Onuma has ceased to be terribly angry with Sparrow, though to say she was warm with him would be reaching a bit far. His behavior and actions from here can only tell her if it's worth talking to him on a serious level again; though, it did surprise her that he bestowed trust to her should he have issues amidst the group. And she has noticed he was supportive of her in their last investigation. Maybe he ain't so bad after all.

:●'''[[Seda'li Tayuun]]''' - Onuma doesn't really know Seda'li all too well. He made himself look like a gargantuan arse when he first met the free company, but since then he's relented. He's extremely close toward Tahla'li, though why for she won't ask. She'll take the safe assumption over family. While Onuma is not against his presence, she doesn't have the most welcoming atmosphere to him. But she is willing to speak to him, and he has made steps to form a bridge, so she respects that.

=== <div style="padding:10px 35px; background:#990000;font-size:14px;color:#FFFFFF;"><center>Enemies & Other Characters</center></div> ===

:●'''[[Arky Mosuke]]''' - Onuma met Arky two moons ago, where they ended up in a small scuffle over misunderstandings. Now that they have spoken again, Onuma believes it was just that; misunderstandings. She's come to measure him with newly-gained respect, and fast-gained was their friendship. She's taken to speaking with him when they have a chance, lately.
<div style="border:0px solid; padding:3px"></div>

:●'''[[Totoko Toko]]''' - Onuma hasn't seen this lalafell since she asked her to accompany the group to Coerthas. She still has fond thoughts of this woman, but there's a worrisome feeling gnawing at her gut that something has happened, or that she was led elsewhere. Regardless, she hopes that wherever Totoko is, that she remains safe. 
<div style="border:0px solid; padding:3px"></div>

:●'''[[Sizha'to Chalahko]]''' - Onuma hasn't known the male Keeper for very long, though she met him through X'linwh and found him decidedly pleasant. About Lin's age, she discovered, but he and the Sunseeker are malms apart in personality. She finds him a curiosity, despite. He's an intelligent sort, and though Gridanian, she feels as though there is a connection between them, small as it might be for the moment. The two ran into each other once, but it was at a bad time. Sadly, she's not seen him since.
<div style="border:0px solid; padding:3px"></div>

:●'''[[Rahn Lihzeh]]''' - Rahn'a's mother. When they first encountered her, she appeared little different than the bloodthirsty Siroccovi warriors. Underneath the guise, however, was someone who was no less a person than Onuma and the group. She respects her a great deal.

:●'''[[L'mila Lania]]''' - Onuma met this young miqo'te at the same time she met Tyago. Though vastly uncultured and unlearned of the world, Onuma doesn't believe her to be completely helpless. There is a way to teach when there's a will to learn, after all, and so far Mila has not shown her otherwise. Onuma had a small reunion with Mila one day when she was brought to Arky's home. But things went awry between Mila and Arky, and that was not a situation that the paladin wanted to step into. Perhaps after things blow over... 
<div style="border:0px solid; padding:3px"></div>

:●'''[[Kalulu Morusu (NPC)]]''' - Onuma's maidservant. She's a lalafell with a whiplash tongue and has no ends to her wit and banter. She's lived in Ul'dah all her life, but while some may think that unfortunate, Onuma fast discovered Kalulu had no end of lessons to teach. She utilizes them on a daily basis, and it's astounding just how much she can pass for a noblewoman. Needless to say, though, the mi'qote would be lying if she said she didn't prefer her to stay where she can keep an eye on her. 
<div style="border:0px solid; padding:3px"></div>

:●'''[[Mutton (NPC)]]''' - Onuma's other retainer. He's a big, burly Hellsguard that takes it upon himself to be the 'guard' of the family when they're within a City-state, usually employing himself as a handy escort if not to be an available hand. Onuma grew fond of him the moment he opened his mouth. He can be grumpy, and he can certainly be mouthy, but no one could say he wasn't passionate about his duties; especially when he gets to enjoy his dreams as a cook, having been a student at the Bismarck. Of course, his mouth has sometimes gotten him into trouble, too. 
<div style="border:0px solid; padding:3px"></div>

:●'''[[Ansgar Broadhaft]]''' - One of Onuma's very first friends. They met when she was out traveling on the fields, away from Ul'dah. She was completely quiet at the time, consumed in her thoughts. This made it easy for Ansgar to perceive it as him being the problem, but she was quick to assure him as the proverbial ice melted and the two of them began a quiet friendship. They were content to walk silently and connect through body language, but when it came to civilization, he was the more talkative of the two. She hasn't seen the man since the incident that left him with one ruined eye. 
<div style="border:0px solid; padding:3px"></div>

:●'''[[Surilian Blu]]''' - Onuma came to accept Suri around the same time that the girl decided to detach herself from the family and left them behind. While she expresses no unrelenting feelings over this, Onuma can't help but wonder what sparked her to abandon those that came to care for her and seek shelter elsewhere. 
<div style="border:0px solid; padding:3px"></div>

:●'''[[S'aerdha Tia]]''' - S'aerdha is a person of mixed feelings to Onuma. The two have rarely spoken, but while initially distrusting of him, she did come to learn his logic and way of thinking by far similar to her own. But unlike her, he plays the role of the proverbial thorn far more strongly than she ever could. She does want to eventually know more about him, as he has been one of the only allies to the free company thus far. For this she is thankful.
<div style="border:0px solid; padding:3px"></div>

:●'''[[Alex Castell]]''' - Onuma has not seen Alex for many moons. Wherever she is, Onuma spares only a few minutes to think about her and wonder over her whereabouts.
<div style="border:0px solid; padding:3px"></div>

:●'''[[C'aehli Ira]]''' - Onuma has not seen C'aehli ever since things went downhill in Coerthas. Vesna's lack of any memory over the woman who hired her has left her questioning what has happened between the two of them. 
<div style="border:0px solid; padding:3px"></div>

:●'''[[Keroa Mosuke]]''' - Onuma met this Keeper female while attending a grand ball in Ul'dah. She found her something of an anomaly, if only because she seemed to enjoy teasing Onuma and Arky over something that Onuma views as sacred. But she opened up more once the three of them could talk elsewhere, and it's been revealed that she harbors a great deal of care toward Arky and his condition. The one day she saw her again in Limsa, Onuma learned a great deal more about Keroa than she felt was comfortable. It's something she's kept in the back of her mind since.
<div style="border:0px solid; padding:3px"></div>

:●'''[[Mijisaa Qisaa]]''' - Onuma has conflicted feelings over Mijisaa. She wants to like the woman, but since the happenings in Coerthas, the miqo'te felt there was a great disconnect between events, and this stirred an ever greater question whirling inside Onuma; could she have, in conscience, truly not have cared for the outcome of her hired help?

:■ "Her pop and kid died shortly after hell rained from the sky. Coincidentally, so did a party of four Wood Wailers. Of course, no one knows what happened that day, but sometimes I wonder when I see her in the city. Who knows; there's still a missing man out there." '''-Gridanian Resident'''

:■ "Aye. I heard o' her. Don't know what much I can tell ye, but I think she's somethin' to hide. No one stays quiet fer that long and don't have a tale to share." '''-Wandering Adventurer'''

"She is the greatest! She's smart, and pretty and I bet she holds alot more secrets then I do. I will grow up to be just like her and one day I'm so going to ask about those secrets. But for now I'll just hide over here and watch her." '''-Surilian Blu'''

"Her? She's a sorry excuse of a blade maiden. But then again I can see talent there. And her clothing colors are all so wrong. Waste I say! Tragic waste. But I suppose it could be worse. But then again we have something in common...I can smell it." '''-Liana Blu'''

"Onuma? I can't quite confirm it, but I've heard musings that her mercenary work has the makings of myth. She and Lotan'to even assaulted a Garlean garrison alone, if the rumors ring true." '''-Kodaro Ba'rococo'''

"She sounds a leader, looks a leader. She and her lover. I don't know how she fell in with this troupe, but I feel safe with my back to her, at least. Again, my expectations are shaken, in what to expect from a Moonkeeper. Also, she wears a warrior's armor; I am not eager to fall in her ill favor." '''-Solelle
Frilaix'''

"Onuma's still our work horse, but a lot has weighed her down lately. I'm afraid she'll crack under the pressure. If she let us help her with her burdens, she might see some relief." '''-Dawson Colwell'''

"Since Y'adebh was taken from me, I'd not thought to have a family, again. Not like that. Onuma has proven to be a sister born apart from me, and I shall do all in my power to honour this sentiment. Knowing I've someone I might confide in....certain, such a circumstance as our meeting must be significant." '''-Y'lyfriel Sikah'''

"First impression? She's a Warrior, through and through. Now, though? I'm not so sure that's all there is to her. Time will tell, I guess." '''-Alex Castell'''

"Oh, Onuma. She always tries to project a rough exterior, and she certainly has a potent bite to her words. But you should see her when she thinks she's alone; always playing with those little clockwork toys I make her. She's surrounded by the pets I find for her. I know her better than anyone, even herself. Hehe." '''-Lotan'to Jiub'''

"Onuma? Hmm.. She may seem scary, but she's really not! She's a nice, kind person under all her lack of smiles! She's really, REALLY sweet! You just gotta give'r a chance!" '''-Rah'na Lihzeh'''

"Tha' poor girl's go' a lot on'r mind. She's a young'n though, n' far be it from me t'tell her what t'do with'r life. She's strong though... N'she'll make it through, m'sure." '''-O'vitah Nunh'''

"The two times I met her, it was always pleasant. I wouldn't mind talking to her again, honestly. Maybe over coffee or tea or whatever she likes to drink. Maybe she can even give me a pointer or two with using a sword." '''-Sizha'to Chalahko'''

"She's got talons, I swear. She took her gloves off one day and I saw them - she even had a nail file that she used to sharpen them!" '''-Lynn'wo Vahnal'''

==x. General==

Mylene is a traveling independent fisher, who makes small coin from selling her catches to merchants across the three city-states, as well as from picking up fishing jobs from the levemete at the adventurers' guild branches. She is considered to be new to the trade itself, but has been fishing all her life during her past travels with her father.

Soon after the beginning of her journey, Mylene was recruited into an Order of adventurers called The Tomial Order. A free company with a goal to assist with the rebuilding efforts of the encampment in Mor Dhona by taking up a wide variety of freelance jobs. Over time, Mylene has come to see the members of the order as family, and will always make every effort to not only contribute to the order's goals, but also to be a loving and loyal friend to its members.

==x. Appearance==

For a Hyur Midlander female, Mylene is as plain as they come. She has lightly tanned skin, olive-green eyes, and somewhat unkempt brown hair that falls to her shoulders.

Her body is not built for combat, but despite her frail looking build, she has developed some upper-body strength from carrying equipment on the road during her lifetime, as well as from the occasional use of her bow.

She is on the shorter side of the height spectrum; growing up on the road forced her and her father to be content with whatever food was available for them on that sun, even if it wasn't very nutritious. If a little more coin were available on their hands after a job, they'd manage to acquire some food from the markets at whatever city-state they were near.

==x. Past==

Mylene grew up as a porter, and for lack of a better word, a ‘lackey’, for a traveling sellsword father named August Wharf (also known as “That Nutter” to a couple of Gridania’s merchants). She often recalls memories of chasing after him as he left her behind, laughing at how slow she was, while he excitedly embarked on a new job to obtain stolen goods or save a lost child. She carried their goods and equipment, took care of all the errands and despite her reluctance towards violence, she was occasionally forced to use her bow alongside her only friend whom she called ‘Father’.

Even with his appearance as a naive, goofy and irresponsible man, August was a very clever and perceptive individual. His wit, combined with his skill with arms, had made almost no quest impossible to him. Yet, looking back, Mylene realized that her father never took on any jobs that endangered them too much; probably because she was traveling with him. Whether or not this was one of the things kept his reputation under the radar is a fact that remains to be seen.

Mylene and her father were never able to stay at one location for a long enough time to make any acquaintances other than their temporary ‘Yorzeans in Distress!’, as August called them. The only familiar faces were the merchants whom they stocked their equipment from. It was running for job after job, traveling between Gridania, Ul'dah, Limsa Lominsa, and camping anywhere in between when need be. They were a family who were always alone, together.

But, as Mylene grew older, she began to feel disdain for the way her father always kept them on edge. Despite his cheerful attitude towards her, the way he had always pushed for her to use arms had made her resistant instead of inspired. Eventually, she decided to abandon the bow her father taught her to use... completely. Day after day, that had proven to be difficult; the conflict between the necessity of survival skills and her pacifist morals had created a constant point of argument between her and her father. In some way, Mylene's refusal to fight was her own, weak way of rebelling, embodying her condescension towards the lifestyle her father chose for them.

Nevertheless, Mylene’s simple life on the road with her father, with all its difficulties, taught her valuable life lessons of patience, kindness, and honesty.

==x. August Wharf==

===Life===
[RPer's Note: Mylene does not know any of the following. Despite her nagging, her father always kept the story of his past, and her origin, vague.]

<spoiler>
August Wharf, like many young boys his age, dreamed of nothing more than earning the right to the title of Dragoon. Someday he would join epic battles, fighting the dragons under the blessings of the Holy See's Knighthood. He was but a simple Hyur, his father was an errand boy for one of the Hyurian officers at Dragonhead. He was a nobody, in the eyes of the Elezen noble houses, but by Halone, he will one day be celebrated, as one of Ishgard's heroes.

Yet the dream never came. He wrote, visited, begged every messenger and watchman he could find, for a name-drop, an opportunity, anything that could help him apply to the ranks, only to be ignored or rejected. He felt deserted, forsaken by Halone. The anger was driving him insane. He saw others, less capable, less worthy, join the knighthood. Yet he was not about to forsake Ishgard. He was not like the others; he was no traitor.

On a dreadful, snowy night, a man came to him, commending him for his passion and loyalty. He said that he knew of the young boy's situation. "Fear not," he told him. "There is still a way for you, to become a hero for Ishgard".

---

Seven years had passed since that night. He was surprised he had lasted this long. His recruiter came to congratulate him, another successful job. The Faces of Mercy were pleased. He had acquired a taste for blood since he joined, and had lost count of the lives he took. August was celebrated alright, though not in the way he expected to be, growing up.

"I hope that the Gridanian woman was to your liking? A fine reward, I must say." The older man snorted, as he tossed a bag of coin at August's feet.

"Keep it up." He said as he turned away to leave. August looked down at the bag. He kicked it angrily and it hit the leg of one of the chairs, slightly moving it.

---

A couple of more years had passed, he was fed up. He was going to leave the Faces of Mercy, and he wasn't going to get killed. His second 'Faces' contact now owed August his life, and was going to help him escape. August is to be reported dead, and then it would all be over.

---

He went looking for her, the Gridanian woman.. What was he going to do? Beg for her forgiveness? He didn't know, but all he wanted to feel was atonement for what he did to her. As if atoning for that single act could erase all that he'd done.. He knew he sure didn't deserve it.

---

Perhaps Halone enjoyed mocking him.

The conjurer stared at the distressed man, vacantly. "Was she family? You are quite late.."

He had halfway bought his hand up to his eyes when he saw the small child. The resemblance struck him. His eyes widened, looking back at the conjurer.. "What is her name..?"

"Mylene. Like her mother's."

</spoiler>
===Death===
<spoiler>
It was nearing Mylene's 18th when it happened. Her father had sent her off to nearby Gridania to run errands and restock on supplies. This life took its toll on the girl, he knew, and it wasn't because of all of his practical jokes. She was naive and gentle and she wouldn't have known how to protect herself if he hadn't pushed her to learn how to use his bow. Nonetheless, they were both content, considering the circumstances. After all, they managed to survive the Calamity, together. Every day was a new adventure, and slowly she was coming into her own.

It was later that day when he felt a familiar, uneasy feeling.. He realized that he was being watched. Calling out, his eyes widened as his former recruiter stepped out from behind the bushes.

---

In a hurry, Mylene bid farewell to the Elezen man and ran through the Blue Badger Gate as she carried the bag of newly mended armor on her back. Reaching their camp only to find her father lying down, a single dagger pierced deeply into his chest.
</spoiler>
==x. Present==

===The Beginning of the Journey===

After her father's death, Mylene spent some time living a quaint life in the La Noscean countryside with the gil her father had made over the last few jobs he'd taken. Soon enough, though, the money would run out and she would have to figure out a plan for how to support herself for the rest of her life. She decided to make use of her fishing skill and made her way to Limsa Lominsa to register herself at the adventurers' guild there in order to be able to receive fish requests from the levemetes at any of the guild's branches. With that in order, she took an airship to Gridania to settle a small debt her father had left with a merchant, before continuing to Ul'dah, where all of those whom look to make a living go.

===Making Friends, and Self-Discovery===

Mylene was terrified upon her arrival in Ul'dah. Highly sensitive and quiet, she would show social anxiety traits when she'd meet someone new due to the fact that her father was always the ice-breaker (in an often embarrassing way) when they ran into people. She was used to being accompanied and protected by him and was not accustomed to socializing with strangers any further than making brief exchanges with merchants. With a promise of a meeting from one, she waited at the local tavern, the Quicksand, where a Keeper of the Moon would ask to share her table. Little known to her, that the Miqo'te would eventually come to be the first of many friends she'd make along the way, and one of the very few individuals she'd give her life to protect.

A few suns after her arrival in Ul'dah, she was pulled in to a conversation by a Miqo'te with a Lominsan accent, and a cheerful female Lalafell, whom introduced themselves as members of The Tomial Order. Inspired by their passion, and with a strong desire to see new places around Eorzea, she decides to join them despite her then-reclusive nature. During her earlier days at the order, she would often feel like she was lacking, and unable to contribute, due to being the only non-fighter among the adventurers. Eventually, she would form strong bonds with the Order's members, and would experience incidents, both good and bad, that she would have never been able to experience, otherwise. She now resides with them at the Order's newly obtained quarters at the Mist residential district.

===A New Sense of Purpose===

Constantly watching her friends get injured or attacked, and knowing that she could do nothing to help them due to her inability to engage in combat, had a profound effect upon Mylene. She realized that, if she had not been so stubborn about her extreme pacifism, she might have been able to help them avoid harm. And that, if she took up the bow once more, she would be able to help them in the future. Was that not what her father might have been trying to teach her all along, that the world is harsh and that she would need to be able to defend herself, and her loved ones, against it?

Mylene reached out to Raikemi Maira; a member of The Tomial Order whose skill and mind she had always admired from a distance. Raikemi would soon become an important figure in Mylene's life; providing her with Archery lessons, advice, and moral support; not only as a mentor, but as a friend.

Though she is set on her new goal, Mylene would not yet abandon her fishing rod. She now continues to balance her fishing trade and her archery lessons, as she experiences more adventures with her friends. Yet, she is no heroine by any stretch of the imagination; as she still finds herself nervous about dealing with combat, and will only reach for her bow under extreme circumstances.

==x. Behavior/Personality==

As Ul'dah is the crossroads in the desert, Mylene found herself meeting with plenty of people, many of them far outside of her previous limits of comfort, which had been safely defined by her father. With this flurry of acquaintances, and the myriad situations they brought with them, she has steeled herself to develop a backbone, and the ability to actually hold a conversation with them, even going as far as being able to display her passion or displeasure when she needs to express them, even if that display leans towards timidness, still. This is a major improvement from the extremely anxious and silent demeanor she displayed when she started her journey alone.

She hates the feeling of being labeled as useless. This stems from the judgement she used to receive when expressing her distaste for combat. She gets a lot of drive from the feeling of being trusted and the feeling of taking care of someone else whom she is close to. Thus, companionship and loyalty are very important to her. She strives to help out those she cares for, and is usually devastated when her offer to help is rejected, whether directly or indirectly.

Mylene can be passive at times. Her anxious nature often makes her turn away from pursuing the things she wants if she feels that pursuing them will create some sort of conflict of interest with those around her. She also suffers from a lot of self-doubt, as well as the tendency to internalize things too much, causing herself and others some misunderstandings.

Sometimes, without realizing, she will rub her left wrist when she is nervous.

Fah'ren Tolesa

==General==

A male Miqo'te with a passion for all things mechanical. Fah'ren is an engineer by trade, as well as a soldier. Having served with the Immortal Flames for a few years, he sought out a place that was less restrictive in its actions than a military order. He found this in the Tomial Order.

==Appearance==

Fah'ren stands taller than most male miqo'tes. He has fair skin and blonde swept back hair. His eyes are a light blue with large pupils akin to that of Keepers. He is usually seen with some sort of eyewear due to slightly poor vision.

==Past==

Fah'ren was born as F'ren Tayuun, in Ul'Dah. His Father was a Seeker Blacksmith and his mother was a Keeper weaver, discontent with the social structures of their kin. At the young age of 6, he lost them both after bandits raided their caravan. For 4 years of his childhood F’ren took to the streets of Ul'Dah and lived out a meager existence as an urchin and pickpocket.

At the age of 10, he was caught trying to steal from A Lalafell inventor by the name of Rolesa Tolesa. Rolesa was not without mercy, knowing that time in prison would break the boy. He took the young F'ren in as an indentured servant, rather than letting the guards deal with him..

F'ren's life with Rolesa began as a rocky one. But F'ren did not want to return to a life on the streets alone. Rolesa had given him a new chance and new opportunities. So he endured the first year of indentured servitude. As the first year progressed, Rolesa began to see growing potential in the boy, the boy showed an affinity for mechanical things. After this realization, Rolesa began to treat F'ren with more respect. Eventually their relationship blossomed, Rolesa eventually treating the young F’ren as if he were his own son.

As the years passed, F'ren's skills as an engineer were honed under the watchful eye of Rolesa. The two still had their differences, Rolesa always sticking to his Calculations, and F'ren retorting that calculations need practical application. This difference, yielded surprising results at times for projects the two took on from clients. These results as well, caught the eye of the Grand companies.

Just before his 18th nameday the Flames propositioned them both with positions of being specialists amongst their ranks. Rolesa Rejected the idea of letting his skills benefit one company, while F'ren saw the benefits of being in the Employ of the Flames. F'ren accepted the offer, despite the disappointment of Rolesa.

In the year after, F'ren advanced his career with the Flames. Rolesa, on the other hand, decided that it was time to start a journey, to learn from other places across Hydaelyn. The Day Rolesa left was not one of contempt amongst the two. That day, they had both shared their ultimate thoughts on one another, A Love and respect akin to that of Father and Son. F'ren that day decided to take on the first name his father would constantly mispronounce, Fah'ren, as well as the last name of the man who he held so much respect for, Tolesa.

==Present==

The Flames had opened up a door the many new possibilities for Fah'ren at first. They had given him Combat training, a steady flow of work, and an equal amount of coin. But as he advanced in rank, his freedom began to dwindle. With Higher rank came more jobs, more responsibilities. His knack for engineering made him the "Go-To" guy for many issues concerning equipment maintenance and logistics. In 6 years he had advanced to that of Chief Flame Sergeant due to his performance. Recently he decided that it was enough. His freedom nearly diminished, he has sought out refuge within The Tomial Order. But now one more thing has come up from the Flames, they are offering a commission with a copious amount of benefits and coin.

==Behavior/Personality==

When working, Fah'ren comes off as a very objectivistic and commanding person, always doing what he can to get the job done, without sacrificing the safety of others. He's one to make calculations but knows that calculations mean nothing without practical application, something he was always at odds with Rolesa with.

His working behavior contrasts with his social behavior. He is usually quiet and polite, sometimes overly apologetic. Around women he comes across as very shy, usually stumbling and stuttering over words.

==x. General==

Mylene is a traveling independent fisher, who makes small coin from selling her catches to merchants across the three city-states, as well as from picking up fishing jobs from the levemete at the adventurers' guild branches. She is considered to be new to the trade itself, but has been fishing all her life during her past travels with her father.

Soon after the beginning of her journey, Mylene was recruited into an Order of adventurers called The Tomial Order. A free company with a goal to assist with the rebuilding efforts of the city of Mor Dhona by taking up a wide variety of freelance jobs. Over time, Mylene has come to see the members of the order as family, and will always make every effort to not only contribute to the order's goals, but also to be a loving and loyal friend to its members.

==x. Appearance==

For a Hyur Midlander female, Mylene is as plain as they come. She has lightly tanned skin, olive-green eyes and somewhat unkempt brown hair that falls to her shoulders.

Her body is not built for combat, but despite her frail looking build, she has developed some upper-body strength from carrying equipment on the road during her lifetime, as well as from the occasional use of her bow.

She is on the shorter side of the height spectrum; growing up on the road forced her and her father to be content with whatever food was available for them on that sun, even if it wasn't very nutritious. If a little more coin were available on their hands after a job, they'd manage to acquire some food from the markets at whatever city-state they were near.

==x. Past==

Mylene grew up as a porter, and for lack of a better word, a ‘lackey’, for a traveling sellsword father named August Wharf (also known as “That Nutter” to a couple of Gridania’s merchants). She often recalls memories of chasing after him as he left her behind, laughing at how slow she was, while he excitedly embarked on a new job to obtain stolen goods or save a lost child. She carried their goods and equipment, took care of all the errands and despite her reluctance towards violence, she was occasionally forced to use her bow alongside her only friend whom she called ‘Father’.

Even with his appearance as a naive, goofy and irresponsible man, August was a very clever and perceptive individual. His wit, combined with his skill with arms, had made almost no quest impossible to him. Yet, looking back, Mylene realized that her father never took on any jobs that endangered them too much; probably because she was traveling with him. Whether or not this was one of the things kept his reputation under the radar is a fact that remains to be seen.

Mylene and her father were never able to stay at one location for a long enough time to make any acquaintances other than their temporary ‘Yorzeans in Distress!’, as August called them. The only familiar faces were the merchants whom they stocked their equipment from. It was running for job after job, traveling between Gridania, Ul'dah, Limsa Lominsa, and camping anywhere in between when need be. They were a family who were always alone, together.

But, as Mylene grew older, she began to feel disdain for the way her father always kept them on edge. Despite his cheerful attitude towards her, the way he had always pushed for her to use arms had made her resistant instead of inspired. Eventually, she decided to abandon the bow her father taught her to use... completely. Day after day, that had proven to be difficult; the conflict between the necessity of survival skills and her pacifist morals had created a constant point of argument between her and her father. In some way, Mylene's refusal to fight was her own, weak way of rebelling, embodying her condescension towards the lifestyle her father chose for them.

Nevertheless, Mylene’s simple life on the road with her father, with all its difficulties, taught her valuable life lessons of patience, kindness, and honesty.

August Wharf, like many young boys his age, dreamed of nothing more than earning the right to the title of Dragoon. Someday he would join epic battles, fighting the dragons under the blessings of the Holy See's Knighthood. He was but a simple Hyur, his father was an errand boy for one of the Hyurian officers at Dragonhead. He was a nobody, in the eyes of the Elezen noble houses, but by Halone, he will one day be celebrated, as one of Ishgard's heroes.

Yet the dream never came. He wrote, visited, begged every messenger and watchman he could find, for a name-drop, an opportunity, anything that could help him apply to the ranks, only to be ignored or rejected. He felt deserted, forsaken by Halone. The anger was driving him insane. He saw others, less capable, less worthy, join the knighthood. Yet he was not about to forsake Ishgard. He was not like the others; he was no traitor.

On a dreadful, snowy night, a man came to him, commending him for his passion and loyalty. He said that he knew of the young boy's situation. "Fear not," he told him. "There is still a way for you, to become a hero for Ishgard".

---

Seven years had passed since that night. He was surprised he had lasted this long. His recruiter came to congratulate him, another successful job. The Faces of Mercy were pleased. He had acquired a taste for blood since he joined, and had lost count of the lives he took. August was celebrated alright, though not in the way he expected to be, growing up.

"I hope that the Gridanian woman was to your liking? A fine reward, I must say." The older man snorted, as he tossed a bag of coin at August's feet.

"Keep it up." He said as he turned away to leave. August looked down at the bag. He kicked it angrily and it hit the leg of one of the chairs, slightly moving it.

---

A couple of more years had passed, he was fed up. He was going to leave the Faces of Mercy, and he wasn't going to get killed. His second 'Faces' contact now owed August his life, and was going to help him escape. August is to be reported dead, and then it would all be over.

---

He went looking for her, the Gridanian woman.. What was he going to do? Beg for her forgiveness? He didn't know, but all he wanted to feel was atonement for what he did to her. As if atoning for that single act could erase all that he'd done.. He knew he sure didn't deserve it.

---

Perhaps Halone enjoyed mocking him.

The conjurer stared at the distressed man, vacantly. "Was she family? You are quite late.."

He had halfway bought his hand up to his eyes when he saw the small child. The resemblance struck him. His eyes widened, looking back at the conjurer.. "What is her name..?"

"Mylene. Like her mother's."

</spoiler>

===Death===
<spoiler>
It was nearing Mylene's 18th when it happened. Her father had sent her off to nearby Gridania to run errands and restock on supplies. This life took its toll on the girl, he knew, and it wasn't because of all of his practical jokes. She was naive and gentle and she wouldn't have known how to protect herself if he hadn't pushed her to learn how to use his bow. Nonetheless, they were both content, considering the circumstances. After all, they managed to survive the Calamity, together. Every day was a new adventure, and slowly she was coming into her own.

It was later that day when he felt a familiar, uneasy feeling.. He realized that he was being watched. Calling out, his eyes widened as his former recruiter stepped out from behind the bushes.

---

In a hurry, Mylene bid farewell to the Elezen man and ran through the Blue Badger Gate as she carried the bag of newly mended armor on her back. Reaching their camp only to find her father lying down, a single dagger pierced deeply into his chest.

==x. Present==

===The Beginning of the Journey===

After her father's death, Mylene spent some time living a quaint life in the La Noscean countryside with the gil her father had made over the last few jobs he'd taken. Soon enough, though, the money would run out and she would have to figure out a plan for how to support herself for the rest of her life. She decided to make use of her fishing skill and made her way to Limsa Lominsa to register herself at the adventurers' guild there in order to be able to receive fish requests from the levemetes at any of the guild's branches. With that in order, she took an airship to Gridania to settle a small debt her father had left with a merchant, before continuing to Ul'dah, where all of those whom look to make a living go.

===Making Friends, and Self-Discovery===

Mylene was terrified upon her arrival in Ul'dah. Highly sensitive and quiet, she would show social anxiety traits when she'd meet someone new due to the fact that her father was always the ice-breaker (in an often embarrassing way) when they ran into people. She was used to being accompanied and protected by him and was not accustomed to socializing with strangers any further than making brief exchanges with merchants. With a promise of a meeting from one, she waited at the local tavern, the Quicksand, where a Keeper of the Moon would ask to share her table. Little known to her, that the Miqo'te would eventually come to be the first of many friends she'd make along the way, and one of the very few individuals she'd give her life to protect.

A few suns after her arrival in Ul'dah, she was pulled in to a conversation by a Miqo'te with a Lominsan accent, and a cheerful female Lalafell, whom introduced themselves as members of The Tomial Order. Inspired by their passion, and with a strong desire to see new places around Eorzea, she decides to join them despite her then-reclusive nature. During her earlier days at the order, she would often feel like she was lacking, and unable to contribute, due to being the only non-fighter among the adventurers. Eventually, she would form strong bonds with the Order's members, and would experience incidents, both good and bad, that she would have never been able to experience, otherwise. She now resides with them at the Order's newly obtained quarters at the Mist residential district.

===A New Sense of Purpose===

Constantly watching her friends get injured or attacked, and knowing that she could do nothing to help them due to her inability to engage in combat, had a profound effect upon Mylene. She realized that, if she had not been so stubborn about her extreme pacifism, she might have been able to help them avoid harm. And that, if she took up the bow once more, she would be able to help them in the future. Was that not what her father might have been trying to teach her all along, that the world is harsh and that she would need to be able to defend herself, and her loved ones, against it?

Mylene reached out to Raikemi Maira; a member of The Tomial Order whose skill and mind she had always admired from a distance. Raikemi would soon become an important figure in Mylene's life; providing her with Archery lessons, advice, and moral support, not only as a mentor, but as a friend.

Though she is set on her new goal, Mylene would not yet abandon her fishing rod. She now continues to balance her fishing trade and her archery lessons, as she experiences more adventures with her comrades, and friends. Yet, she is no heroine by any stretch of the imagination; as she still finds herself nervous about dealing with combat, and will only reach for her bow under extreme circumstances.

==x. Behavior/Personality==

As Ul'dah is the crossroads in the desert, Mylene found herself meeting with plenty of people, many of them far outside of her previous limits of comfort, which had been safely defined by her father. With this flurry of acquaintances, and the myriad situations they brought with them, she has steeled herself to develop a backbone, and the ability to actually hold a conversation with them, even going as far as being able to display her passion or displeasure when she needs to express them, even if that display leans towards timidness, still. This is a major improvement from the extremely anxious and silent demeanor she displayed when she started her journey alone.

She hates the feeling of being labeled as useless. This stems from the judgement she used to receive when expressing her distaste for combat. She gets a lot of drive from the feeling of being trusted and the feeling of taking care of someone else whom she is close to. Thus, Companionship and loyalty are very important to her. She strives to help out those she cares for, and is usually devastated when her offer to help is rejected, whether directly or indirectly.

Mylene can be passive at times. Her anxious nature often makes her turn away from pursuing the things she wants, if she feels that pursuing them will create some sort of conflict of interest with those around her. She also suffers from a lot of self-doubt, as well as the tendency to internalize things too much, causing herself and others some misunderstandings.

Sometimes, without realizing, she will rub her left wrist when she is nervous.

==x. Relationships==
[Constantly Updated.]

* [[Kahn'a Od'hilkas]] - Kahn'a was the first person Mylene had gained a friendship with since she'd started traveling by herself. He's the one who'd introduced Mylene to tea-drinking on their first meeting, when he introduced himself as a leather-worker. He later revealed to her that he is a member of the Immortal Flames ranks. He likes to toy with Mylene's head from time to time. She used to feel that he looks at her with a bit too much pity. A kind friend, he has become someone she trusts, although she sometimes finds it difficult to tell him everything, fearing his disappointment.

* [[Shido Itsuka]] - Shido is the leader of The Tomial Order, the company which Mylene is a newly recruited member of. He is gentle with Mylene and respects her lifestyle choices. She sees his genuineness and believes him when he says that he considers her family. She looks at him as a very dear older brother and would do anything to be his support and help him search for the person from his past that he's looking for.

* [[Hitari Senjougahara]] and [[Yonene Yone]] - A charismatic Hyur and a friendly Lalafell. Two of the female members of The Tomial Order. They have both made Mylene feel comfortable and welcome upon her joining the company. Mylene feels safe around them and is at her most talkative when the three of them are spending time together. She hopes that she'll be able to go fishing with them frequently.

* [[A'rytiss Edar]] - Mylene wishes she could see more of him. He is extremely polite and kind to her, they both have a lot in common and they're both Tea nerds!

* [[Mykaul Valeroyant]] - After their first meeting, Mylene could feel nothing but guilt. It was because of how he stood up for her when [[Gus Pumpkinweed]] made her nervous that Mykaul got into trouble with his employer, and with Kahn'a. Since then, every time she ran into him, he had helped her in some way. She feels a lot of gratitude towards him and wishes she could return his favors one day. She is anxious about his relationship with Kahn'a; they have both become dear to her and seeing them conflicted makes her heart feel heavy.

* [[Gus Pumpkinweed]] - Mylene doesn't know what to think of Gus. She looks at his bluntness with a mixture of distress, irritation and admiration. Despite his picking on her, he has begun to grow on her, and is actually looking forward to trying more his pumpkin goods after having a few samples!

* [[Tirisse Sunsinger]] - A strong and honorable female Duskwight Elezen. She came up to Mylene while she was bickering with [[Zaiaku Kurai]], and helped her stand up for herself. Mylene didn't have any females to look up to while she was growing up, but she likes to think that the admiration she feels towards Tirisse is the closest thing to that.

* [[Zaiaku Kurai]] - Mylene is constantly offended by the way this fellow Hyurian seems to be chasing females, especially her closest friend, [[Charlotte Tiln]]. She is constantly bickering with him about it. Though she feels bad for him as she sees him being constantly attacked by others, and deep down hopes that he's a good person whom she can be friends with. She eventually decides to cut him some slack and having him around Charlotte doesn't bother her as much anymore.

* [[Charlotte Tiln]] - Mylene shares a special bond with Charlotte, a Keeper of the Moon from Ishgard. She would not have met her had Kahn'a (being a Flames officer) not noticed Charlotte looking lost on the streets of Ul'dah. In order to aid her and her brother on their quest of searching for the Elezen, nicknamed "Rattlesnake", whom has killed their parents, Mylene recruits Charlotte to join The Tomial Order. They have since become inseparable, and are the closest things to sisters they have both ever had. However, the aftermath of the failed mission to find the elezen has put some tension on their friendship.

* [[Siegfried Tiln]] - Charlotte's older brother. Psychotic, violent and unpredictable, Siegfried had been a source of fear for Mylene ever since she first came into contact with him through his sister. His obsession with her has forcibly advanced their relationship into a complicated one. After the failed mission of finding the elezen whom has killed his parents, Siegfried took off and vanished, without any words of farewell, and has yet to return. Mylene spent several suns, searching and waiting for him by the Ul'dah Aetheryte, before giving up on his return. Her emotional state towards him fluctuates between confusion, longing, and resentment, as she feels abandoned after investing so much in trying to help him.

==x. General==

Mylene is a traveling independent fisher, who makes small coin from selling her catches to merchants across the three city-states, as well as from picking up fishing jobs from the levemete at the adventurers' guild branches. She is considered to be new to the trade itself, but has been fishing all her life during her past travels with her father.

Soon after the beginning of her journey, Mylene was recruited into an Order of adventurers called The Tomial Order. A free company with a goal to assist with the rebuilding efforts of the city of Mor Dhona by taking up a wide variety of freelance jobs. Over time, Mylene has come to see the members of the order as family, and will always make every effort to not only contribute to the order's goals, but also to be a loving and loyal friend to its members.

==x. Appearance==

For a Hyur Midlander female, Mylene is as plain as they come. She has lightly tanned skin, olive-green eyes and somewhat unkempt brown hair that falls to her shoulders.

Her body is not built for combat, but despite her frail looking build, she has developed some upper-body strength from carrying equipment on the road during her lifetime, as well as from the occasional use of her bow.

She is on the shorter side of the height spectrum; growing up on the road forced her and her father to be content with whatever food was available for them on that sun, even if it wasn't very nutritious. If a little more coin were available on their hands after a job, they'd manage to acquire some food from the markets at whatever city-state they were near.

==x. Past==

Mylene grew up as a porter, and for lack of a better word, a ‘lackey’, for a traveling sellsword father named August Wharf (also known as “That Nutter” to a couple of Gridania’s merchants). She often recalls memories of chasing after him as he left her behind, laughing at how slow she was, while he excitedly embarked on a new job to obtain stolen goods or save a lost child. She carried their goods and equipment, took care of all the errands and despite her reluctance towards violence, she was occasionally forced to use her bow alongside her only friend whom she called ‘Father’.

Even with his appearance as a naive, goofy and irresponsible man, August was a very clever and perceptive individual. His wit, combined with his skill with arms, had made almost no quest impossible to him. Yet, looking back, Mylene realized that her father never took on any jobs that endangered them too much; probably because she was traveling with him. Whether or not this was one of the things kept his reputation under the radar is a fact that remains to be seen.

Mylene and her father were never able to stay at one location for a long enough time to make any acquaintances other than their temporary ‘Yorzeans in Distress!’, as August called them. The only familiar faces were the merchants whom they stocked their equipment from. It was running for job after job, traveling between Gridania, Ul'dah, Limsa Lominsa, and camping anywhere in between when need be. They were a family who were always alone, together.

But, as Mylene grew older, she began to feel disdain for the way her father always kept them on edge. Despite his cheerful attitude towards her, the way he had always pushed for her to use arms had made her resistant instead of inspired. Eventually, she decided to abandon the bow her father taught her to use... completely. Day after day, that had proven to be difficult; the conflict between the necessity of survival skills and her pacifist morals had created a constant point of argument between her and her father. In some way, Mylene's refusal to fight was her own, weak way of rebelling, embodying her condescension towards the lifestyle her father chose for them.

Nevertheless, Mylene’s simple life on the road with her father, with all its difficulties, taught her valuable life lessons of patience, kindness, and honesty.

==x. August Wharf: Life==

[RPer's Note: Mylene does not know any of the following. Despite her nagging, her father always kept the story of his past, and her origin, vague.]

<spoiler>
August Wharf, like many young boys his age, dreamed of nothing more than earning the right to the title of Dragoon.

He felt deserted, forsaken by Halone. The anger was driving him insane. He saw others, less capable, less worthy, join the knighthood. Yet he was not about to forsake Ishgard. He was not like the others; he was no traitor.

On a dreadful, snowy night, a man came to him, commending him for his passion and loyalty. He said that he knew of the young boy's situation. "Fear not," he told him. "There is still a way for you, to become a hero for Ishgard".

Soon enough, though, the money would run out and she would have to figure out a plan for how to support herself for the rest of her life.

With that in order, she took an airship to Gridania to settle a small debt her father had left with a merchant, before continuing to Ul'dah, where all of those whom look to make a living go.

==x. Behavior/Personality==

Highly sensitive and quiet, Mylene shows some social anxiety traits when she meets someone new due to the fact that her father was always the ice-breaker (in an often embarrassing way) when they ran into people. Once she has had a heart-to-heart, or gotten close enough to a person, she starts to become attached and puts it upon herself to do anything for them. She generally enjoys a more relaxed one-on-one conversation with those who will listen to her soft-spoken thoughts.

She hates the feeling of being labeled as useless. This stems from the judgement she receives when expressing her distaste for combat and fighting. She gets a lot of drive from the feeling of being trusted and the feeling of taking care of someone else whom she is close to. Companionship and loyalty are very important to her. She secretly hopes that in the future she’ll be able to accompany a traveling Eorzean whom she will share a bond of trust with, as she did growing up.

Mylene can be passive at times. Her anxious nature often makes her turn away from pursuing the things she wants, if she feels that pursuing them will create some sort of conflict of interest with those around her.

After her father's death, Mylene thought that she would be able to completely abandon the bow for good. Though day after day, this proves to be more difficult; she feels conflicted between the necessity of survival skills and her pacifist morals. In some way, Mylene's refusal to fight was her own, weak way of rebelling, embodying her condescension towards the lifestyle her father chose for them.

Sometimes, without realizing, she will rub her left wrist when she is nervous.

==x. Tidbits and Facts==

- Fishing is something that finds extremely soothing. The movement and sounds of water landscapes always send her daydreaming. It was one of the few things she could do for fun as a child. She did not have any toys, as there is no room for anything that is not absolutely necessary when you are on the road.

- She would always look forward to any visit to Limsa Lominsa or its surrounding areas. In contrast, she feels weary when she’s on her way to, or inside Ul'dah. She often feels that its people are cold and intimidating.

- Due to her previous lifestyle, Mylene doesn't have much experience with love. She is neither flirtatious, witty, nor striking; traits that many Eorzean males would find attractive in women. Because of her shyness, she will never attempt to pursue someone she finds attractive, and will probably go to her grave with her feelings without anyone ever realizing that she ever had them.

- After her father's death, Mylene spent some time living near Moraby Bay, trying to figure out a plan for herself and how she'll support herself for the rest of her life.

- Mylene describing her first day of being a solo traveler: "I had just begun traveling by myself. I was staying somewhere near Moraby Bay for a while, but I had to.. return, to Gridania, to pay off some dept to a merchant, before I began my journey. So, that was my first stop.
I didn't have many things with me then.. Not even my fishing rod.. I was simply going there to pay the debt and stock up.. As I was nearing the Blue Badger Gate, I stepped into some mud, and in the attempt of wiping it off my boots, I got both my boots and gloves dirty!
So, I removed them, and I sat them aside me for a split moment, then a thief came out of nowhere and simply snatched them! I had to run through the gate, barefoot! I'd made my way to the inn, and stood there barefoot as I waited for a room.. A female noticed me, and asked me what the matter was.. I was so embarrassed that I lied and told her I was waiting for someone! But, as she pressed me with more questions, I told her the truth. She was agitated.. She said that she had been a marauder assigned to guard the gate at the time of my arrival... She kept apologizing, then ran off to report it.. and that was the last I saw of her, until she contacted me moons later, requesting to present my statement about this case, to the Marauders' Guild."

[Constantly Updated.]

* [[Kahn'a Od'hilkas]] - Kahn'a was the first person Mylene had gained a friendship with since she'd started traveling by herself. He's the one who'd introduced Mylene to tea-drinking on their first meeting, when he introduced himself as a leather-worker. He later revealed to her that he is a member of the Immortal Flames ranks. He likes to toy with Mylene's head from time to time. She used to feel that he looks at her with a bit too much pity. A kind friend, he has become someone she trusts, although she sometimes finds it difficult to tell him everything, fearing his disappointment.

* [[Shido Itsuka]] - Shido is the leader of The Tomial Order, the company which Mylene is a newly recruited member of. He is gentle with Mylene and respects her lifestyle choices. She sees his genuineness and believes him when he says that he considers her family. She looks at him as a very dear older brother and would do anything to be his support and help him search for the person from his past that he's looking for.

* [[Hitari Senjougahara]] and [[Yonene Yone]] - A charismatic Hyur and a friendly Lalafell. Two of the female members of The Tomial Order. They have both made Mylene feel comfortable and welcome upon her joining the company. Mylene feels safe around them and is at her most talkative when the three of them are spending time together. She hopes that she'll be able to go fishing with them frequently.

* [[A'rytiss Edar]] - Mylene wishes she could see more of him. He is extremely polite and kind to her, they both have a lot in common and they're both Tea nerds!

* [[Mykaul Valeroyant]] - After their first meeting, Mylene could feel nothing but guilt. It was because of how he stood up for her when [[Gus Pumpkinweed]] made her nervous that Mykaul got into trouble with his employer, and with Kahn'a. Since then, every time she ran into him, he had helped her in some way. She feels a lot of gratitude towards him and wishes she could return his favors one day. She is anxious about his relationship with Kahn'a; they have both become dear to her and seeing them conflicted makes her heart feel heavy.

* [[Gus Pumpkinweed]] - Mylene doesn't know what to think of Gus. She looks at his bluntness with a mixture of distress, irritation and admiration. Despite his picking on her, he has begun to grow on her, and is actually looking forward to trying more his pumpkin goods after having a few samples!

* [[Tirisse Sunsinger]] - A strong and honorable female Duskwight Elezen. She came up to Mylene while she was bickering with [[Zaiaku Kurai]], and helped her stand up for herself. Mylene didn't have any females to look up to while she was growing up, but she likes to think that the admiration she feels towards Tirisse is the closest thing to that.

* [[Zaiaku Kurai]] - Mylene is constantly offended by the way this fellow Hyurian seems to be chasing females, especially her closest friend, [[Charlotte Tiln]]. She is constantly bickering with him about it. Though she feels bad for him as she sees him being constantly attacked by others, and deep down hopes that he's a good person whom she can be friends with. She eventually decides to cut him some slack and having him around Charlotte doesn't bother her as much anymore.

* [[Charlotte Tiln]] - Mylene shares a special bond with Charlotte, a Keeper of the Moon from Ishgard. She would not have met her had Kahn'a (being a Flames officer) not noticed Charlotte looking lost on the streets of Ul'dah. In order to aid her and her brother on their quest of searching for the Elezen, nicknamed "Rattlesnake", whom has killed their parents, Mylene recruits Charlotte to join The Tomial Order. They have since become inseparable, and are the closest things to sisters they have both ever had. However, the aftermath of the failed mission to find the elezen has put some tension on their friendship.

* [[Siegfried Tiln]] - Charlotte's older brother. Psychotic, violent and unpredictable, Siegfried had been a source of fear for Mylene ever since she first came into contact with him through his sister. His obsession with her has forcibly advanced their relationship into a complicated one. After the failed mission of finding the elezen whom has killed his parents, Siegfried took off and vanished, without any words of farewell, and has yet to return. Mylene spent several suns, searching and waiting for him by the Ul'dah Aetheryte, before giving up on his return. Her emotional state towards him fluctuates between confusion, longing, and resentment, as she feels abandoned after investing so much in trying to help him.

 <div style="text-align:justify;">

===x. General===

Mylene is a traveling independent fisher, who makes small coin from selling her catches to merchants across the three city-states, as well as from picking up fishing jobs from the levemete at the adventurers' guild branches. She is considered to be new to the trade itself, but has been fishing all her life during her past travels with her father.

Soon after the beginning of her journey, Mylene was recruited into an Order of adventurers called The Tomial Order. A free company with a goal to assist with the rebuilding efforts of the city of Mor Dhona by taking up a wide variety of freelance jobs. Over time, Mylene has come to see the members of the order as family, and will always make every effort to not only contribute to the order's goals, but also to be a loving and loyal friend to its members.

===x. Appearance===

For a Hyur Midlander female, Mylene is as plain as they come. She has lightly tanned skin, olive-green eyes and somewhat unkempt brown hair that falls to her shoulders.

Her body is not built for combat, but despite her frail looking build, she has developed some upper-body strength from carrying equipment on the road during her lifetime, as well as from the occasional use of her bow.

She is on the shorter side of the height spectrum; growing up on the road forced her and her father to be content with whatever food was available for them on that sun, even if it wasn't very nutritious. If a little more coin were available on their hands after a job, they'd manage to acquire some food from the markets at whatever city-state they were near.

===x. Past===

Mylene grew up as a porter, and for lack of a better word, a ‘lackey’, for a traveling sellsword father named August Wharf (also known as “That Nutter” to a couple of Gridania’s merchants). She often recalls memories of chasing after him as he left her behind, laughing at how slow she was, while he excitedly embarked on a new job to obtain stolen goods or save a lost child. She carried their goods and equipment, took care of all the errands and despite her reluctance towards violence, she was occasionally forced to use her bow alongside her only friend whom she called ‘Father’.

Even with his appearance as a naive, goofy and irresponsible man, August was a very clever and perceptive individual. His wit, combined with his skill with arms, had made almost no quest impossible to him. Yet, looking back, Mylene realized that her father never took on any jobs that endangered them too much; probably because she was traveling with him. Whether or not this was one of the things kept his reputation under the radar is a fact that remains to be seen.

Mylene and her father were never able to stay at one location for a long enough time to make any acquaintances other than their temporary ‘Yorzeans in Distress!’, as August called them. The only familiar faces were the merchants whom they stocked their equipment from. It was running for job after job, traveling between Gridania, Ul'dah, Limsa Lominsa, and camping anywhere in between when need be. They were a family who were always alone, together.

But, as Mylene grew older, she began to feel disdain for the way her father always kept them on edge. Despite his cheerful attitude towards her, the way he had always pushed for her to use arms had made her resistant instead of inspired. Eventually, she decided to abandon the bow her father taught her to use... completely. Day after day, that had proven to be difficult; the conflict between the necessity of survival skills and her pacifist morals had created a constant point of argument between her and her father. In some way, Mylene's refusal to fight was her own, weak way of rebelling, embodying her condescension towards the lifestyle her father chose for them.

Nevertheless, Mylene’s simple life on the road with her father, with all its difficulties, taught her valuable life lessons of patience, kindness, and honesty.

===x. August Wharf: Life===

[RPer's Note: Mylene does not know any of the following. Despite her nagging, her father always kept the story of his past, and her origin, vague.]

<spoiler>
August Wharf, like many young boys his age, dreamed of nothing more than earning the right to the title of Dragoon. Someday he would join epic battles, fighting the dragons under the blessings of the Holy See's Knighthood. He was but a simple Hyur, his father was an errand boy for one of the Hyurian officers at Dragonhead. He was a nobody, in the eyes of the Elezen noble houses, but by Halone, he will one day be celebrated, as one of Ishgard's heroes.

Yet the dream never came. He wrote, visited, begged every messenger and watchman he could find, for a name-drop, an opportunity, anything that could help him apply to the ranks, only to be ignored or rejected. He felt deserted, forsaken by Halone. The anger was driving him insane. He saw others, less capable, less worthy, join the knighthood. Yet he was not about to forsake Ishgard. He was not like the others; he was no traitor.

On a dreadful, snowy night, a man came to him, commending him for his passion and loyalty. He said that he knew of the young boy's situation. "Fear not," he told him. "There is still a way for you, to become a hero for Ishgard".

---

Seven years had passed since that night. He was surprised he had lasted this long. His recruiter came to congratulate him, another successful job. The Faces of Mercy were pleased. He had acquired a taste for blood since he joined, and had lost count of the lives he took. August was celebrated alright, though not in the way he expected to be, growing up.

"I hope that the Gridanian woman was to your liking? A fine reward, I must say." The older man snorted, as he tossed a bag of coin at August's feet.

"Keep it up." He said as he turned away to leave. August looked down at the bag. He kicked it angrily and it hit the leg of one of the chairs, slightly moving it.

---

A couple of more years had passed, he was fed up. He was going to leave the Faces of Mercy, and he wasn't going to get killed. His second 'Faces' contact now owed August his life, and was going to help him escape. August is to be reported dead, and then it would all be over.

---

He went looking for her, the Gridanian woman.. What was he going to do? Beg for her forgiveness? He didn't know, but all he wanted to feel was atonement for what he did to her. As if atoning for that single act could erase all that he'd done.. He knew he sure didn't deserve it.

---

Perhaps Halone enjoyed mocking him.

The conjurer stared at the distressed man, vacantly. "Was she family? You are quite late.."

He had halfway bought his hand up to his eyes when he saw the small child. The resemblance struck him. His eyes widened, looking back at the conjurer.. "What is her name..?"

"Mylene. Like her mother's."

</spoiler>

===x. August Wharf: Death===
<spoiler>
It was nearing Mylene's 18th when it happened. Her father had sent her off to nearby Gridania to run errands and restock on supplies. This life took its toll on the girl, he knew, and it wasn't because of all of his practical jokes. She was naive and gentle and she wouldn't have known how to protect herself if he hadn't pushed her to learn how to use his bow. Nonetheless, they were both content, considering the circumstances. After all, they managed to survive the Calamity, together. Every day was a new adventure, and slowly she was coming into her own.

It was later that day when he felt a familiar, uneasy feeling.. He realized that he was being watched. Calling out, his eyes widened as his former recruiter stepped out from behind the bushes.

---

In a hurry, Mylene bid farewell to the Elezen man and ran through the Blue Badger Gate as she carried the bag of newly mended armor on her back. Reaching their camp only to find her father lying down, a single dagger pierced deeply into his chest.
</spoiler>

===x. Present===
[work in progress]

===x. Behavior/Personality===

Highly sensitive and quiet, Mylene shows some social anxiety traits when she meets someone new due to the fact that her father was always the ice-breaker (in an often embarrassing way) when they ran into people. Once she has had a heart-to-heart, or gotten close enough to a person, she starts to become attached and puts it upon herself to do anything for them. She generally enjoys a more relaxed one-on-one conversation with those who will listen to her soft-spoken thoughts.

She hates the feeling of being labeled as useless. This stems from the judgement she receives when expressing her distaste for combat and fighting. She gets a lot of drive from the feeling of being trusted and the feeling of taking care of someone else whom she is close to. Companionship and loyalty are very important to her. She secretly hopes that in the future she’ll be able to accompany a traveling Eorzean whom she will share a bond of trust with, as she did growing up.

Mylene can be passive at times. Her anxious nature often makes her turn away from pursuing the things she wants, if she feels that pursuing them will create some sort of conflict of interest with those around her.

After her father's death, Mylene thought that she would be able to completely abandon the bow for good. Though day after day, this proves to be more difficult; she feels conflicted between the necessity of survival skills and her pacifist morals. In some way, Mylene's refusal to fight was her own, weak way of rebelling, embodying her condescension towards the lifestyle her father chose for them.

Sometimes, without realizing, she will rub her left wrist when she is nervous.

===x. Tidbits and Facts===

- Fishing is something that finds extremely soothing. The movement and sounds of water landscapes always send her daydreaming. It was one of the few things she could do for fun as a child. She did not have any toys, as there is no room for anything that is not absolutely necessary when you are on the road.

- She would always look forward to any visit to Limsa Lominsa or its surrounding areas. In contrast, she feels weary when she’s on her way to, or inside Ul'dah. She often feels that its people are cold and intimidating.

- Due to her previous lifestyle, Mylene doesn't have much experience with love. She is neither flirtatious, witty, nor striking; traits that many Eorzean males would find attractive in women. Because of her shyness, she will never attempt to pursue someone she finds attractive, and will probably go to her grave with her feelings without anyone ever realizing that she ever had them.

- After her father's death, Mylene spent some time living near Moraby Bay, trying to figure out a plan for herself and how she'll support herself for the rest of her life.

- Mylene describing her first day of being a solo traveler: "I had just begun traveling by myself. I was staying somewhere near Moraby Bay for a while, but I had to.. return, to Gridania, to pay off some dept to a merchant, before I began my journey. So, that was my first stop.
I didn't have many things with me then.. Not even my fishing rod.. I was simply going there to pay the debt and stock up.. As I was nearing the Blue Badger Gate, I stepped into some mud, and in the attempt of wiping it off my boots, I got both my boots and gloves dirty!
So, I removed them, and I sat them aside me for a split moment, then a thief came out of nowhere and simply snatched them! I had to run through the gate, barefoot! I'd made my way to the inn, and stood there barefoot as I waited for a room.. A female noticed me, and asked me what the matter was.. I was so embarrassed that I lied and told her I was waiting for someone! But, as she pressed me with more questions, I told her the truth. She was agitated.. She said that she had been a marauder assigned to guard the gate at the time of my arrival... She kept apologizing, then ran off to report it.. and that was the last I saw of her, until she contacted me moons later, requesting to present my statement about this case, to the Marauders' Guild."

He went looking for her, the Gridanian woman.. What was he going to do? Beg for her forgiveness? He didn't know, but all he wanted to feel was atonement for what he did to her. As if atoning for that single act could erase all that he'd done.. He knew he sure didn't deserve it.

---

Perhaps Halone enjoyed mocking him.

The conjurer stared at the distressed man, vacantly. "Was she family? You are quite late.."

He had halfway bought his hand up to his eyes when he saw the small child. The resemblance struck him. His eyes widened, looking back at the conjurer.. "What is her name..?"

"Mylene. Like her mother's."

===x. August Wharf: Death===
<spoiler>
It was nearing Mylene's 18th when it happened. Her father had sent her off to nearby Gridania to run errands and restock on supplies. This life took its toll on the girl, he knew, and it wasn't because of all of his practical jokes. She was naive and gentle and she wouldn't have known how to protect herself if he hadn't pushed her to learn how to use his bow. Nonetheless, they were both content, considering the circumstances. After all, they managed to survive the Calamity, together. Every day was a new adventure, and slowly she was coming into her own.

It was later that day when he felt a familiar, uneasy feeling.. He realized that he was being watched. Calling out, his eyes widened as his former recruiter stepped out from behind the bushes.

---

In a hurry, Mylene bid farewell to the Elezen man and ran through the Blue Badger Gate as she carried the bag of newly mended armor on her back. Reaching their camp only to find her father lying down, a single dagger pierced deeply into his chest.
</spoiler>

===x. Present===
[work in progress]

===x. Behavior/Personality===

Highly sensitive and quiet, Mylene shows some social anxiety traits when she meets someone new due to the fact that her father was always the ice-breaker (in an often embarrassing way) when they ran into people. Once she has had a heart-to-heart, or gotten close enough to a person, she starts to become attached and puts it upon herself to do anything for them. She generally enjoys a more relaxed one-on-one conversation with those who will listen to her soft-spoken thoughts.

She hates the feeling of being labeled as useless. This stems from the judgement she receives when expressing her distaste for combat and fighting. She gets a lot of drive from the feeling of being trusted and the feeling of taking care of someone else whom she is close to. Companionship and loyalty are very important to her. She secretly hopes that in the future she’ll be able to accompany a traveling Eorzean whom she will share a bond of trust with, as she did growing up.

Mylene can be passive at times. Her anxious nature often makes her turn away from pursuing the things she wants, if she feels that pursuing them will create some sort of conflict of interest with those around her.

After her father's death, Mylene thought that she would be able to completely abandon the bow for good. Though day after day, this proves to be more difficult; she feels conflicted between the necessity of survival skills and her pacifist morals. In some way, Mylene's refusal to fight was her own, weak way of rebelling, embodying her condescension towards the lifestyle her father chose for them.

Sometimes, without realizing, she will rub her left wrist when she is nervous.

===x. Tidbits and Facts===

- Fishing is something that finds extremely soothing. The movement and sounds of water landscapes always send her daydreaming. It was one of the few things she could do for fun as a child. She did not have any toys, as there is no room for anything that is not absolutely necessary when you are on the road.

- She would always look forward to any visit to Limsa Lominsa or its surrounding areas. In contrast, she feels weary when she’s on her way to, or inside Ul'dah. She often feels that its people are cold and intimidating.

- Due to her previous lifestyle, Mylene doesn't have much experience with love. She is neither flirtatious, witty, nor striking; traits that many Eorzean males would find attractive in women. Because of her shyness, she will never attempt to pursue someone she finds attractive, and will probably go to her grave with her feelings without anyone ever realizing that she ever had them.

- After her father's death, Mylene spent some time living near Moraby Bay, trying to figure out a plan for herself and how she'll support herself for the rest of her life.

- Mylene describing her first day of being a solo traveler: "I had just begun traveling by myself. I was staying somewhere near Moraby Bay for a while, but I had to.. return, to Gridania, to pay off some dept to a merchant, before I began my journey. So, that was my first stop.
I didn't have many things with me then.. Not even my fishing rod.. I was simply going there to pay the debt and stock up.. As I was nearing the Blue Badger Gate, I stepped into some mud, and in the attempt of wiping it off my boots, I got both my boots and gloves dirty!
So, I removed them, and I sat them aside me for a split moment, then a thief came out of nowhere and simply snatched them! I had to run through the gate, barefoot! I'd made my way to the inn, and stood there barefoot as I waited for a room.. A female noticed me, and asked me what the matter was.. I was so embarrassed that I lied and told her I was waiting for someone! But, as she pressed me with more questions, I told her the truth. She was agitated.. She said that she had been a marauder assigned to guard the gate at the time of my arrival... She kept apologizing, then ran off to report it.. and that was the last I saw of her, until she contacted me moons later, requesting to present my statement about this case, to the Marauders' Guild."

===x. Table of Traits===

[[File:Mylene Traits.JPG]]

===x. Relationships===
[Constantly Updated.]

* [[Kahn'a Od'hilkas]] - Kahn'a was the first person Mylene had gained a friendship with since she'd started traveling by herself. He's the one who'd introduced Mylene to tea-drinking on their first meeting, when he introduced himself as a leather-worker. He later revealed to her that he is a member of the Immortal Flames ranks. He likes to toy with Mylene's head from time to time. She used to feel that he looks at her with a bit too much pity. A kind friend, he has become someone she trusts, although she sometimes finds it difficult to tell him everything, fearing his disappointment.

* [[Shido Itsuka]] - Shido is the leader of The Tomial Order, the company which Mylene is a newly recruited member of. He is gentle with Mylene and respects her lifestyle choices. She sees his genuineness and believes him when he says that he considers her family. She looks at him as a very dear older brother and would do anything to be his support and help him search for the person from his past that he's looking for.

* [[Hitari Senjougahara]] and [[Yonene Yone]] - A charismatic Hyur and a friendly Lalafell. Two of the female members of The Tomial Order. They have both made Mylene feel comfortable and welcome upon her joining the company. Mylene feels safe around them and is at her most talkative when the three of them are spending time together. She hopes that she'll be able to go fishing with them frequently.

* [[A'rytiss Edar]] - Mylene wishes she could see more of him. He is extremely polite and kind to her, they both have a lot in common and they're both Tea nerds!

* [[Mykaul Valeroyant]] - After their first meeting, Mylene could feel nothing but guilt. It was because of how he stood up for her when [[Gus Pumpkinweed]] made her nervous that Mykaul got into trouble with his employer, and with Kahn'a. Since then, every time she ran into him, he had helped her in some way. She feels a lot of gratitude towards him and wishes she could return his favors one day. She is anxious about his relationship with Kahn'a; they have both become dear to her and seeing them conflicted makes her heart feel heavy.

* [[Gus Pumpkinweed]] - Mylene doesn't know what to think of Gus. She looks at his bluntness with a mixture of distress, irritation and admiration. Despite his picking on her, he has begun to grow on her, and is actually looking forward to trying more his pumpkin goods after having a few samples!

* [[Tirisse Sunsinger]] - A strong and honorable female Duskwight Elezen. She came up to Mylene while she was bickering with [[Zaiaku Kurai]], and helped her stand up for herself. Mylene didn't have any females to look up to while she was growing up, but she likes to think that the admiration she feels towards Tirisse is the closest thing to that.

* [[Zaiaku Kurai]] - Mylene is constantly offended by the way this fellow Hyurian seems to be chasing females, especially her closest friend, [[Charlotte Tiln]]. She is constantly bickering with him about it. Though she feels bad for him as she sees him being constantly attacked by others, and deep down hopes that he's a good person whom she can be friends with. She eventually decides to cut him some slack and having him around Charlotte doesn't bother her as much anymore.

* [[Charlotte Tiln]] - Mylene shares a special bond with Charlotte, a Keeper of the Moon from Ishgard. She would not have met her had Kahn'a (being a Flames officer) not noticed Charlotte looking lost on the streets of Ul'dah. In order to aid her and her brother on their quest of searching for the Elezen, nicknamed "Rattlesnake", whom has killed their parents, Mylene recruits Charlotte to join The Tomial Order. They have since become inseparable, and are the closest things to sisters they have both ever had. However, the aftermath of the failed mission to find the elezen has put some tension on their friendship.

* [[Siegfried Tiln]] - Charlotte's older brother. Psychotic, violent and unpredictable, Siegfried had been a source of fear for Mylene ever since she first came into contact with him through his sister. His obsession with her has forcibly advanced their relationship into a complicated one. After the failed mission of finding the elezen whom has killed his parents, Siegfried took off and vanished, without any words of farewell, and has yet to return. Mylene spent several suns, searching and waiting for him by the Ul'dah Aetheryte, before giving up on his return. Her emotional state towards him fluctuates between confusion, longing, and resentment, as she feels abandoned after investing so much in trying to help him.

===x. Rumors===

[Feel free to add rumors. ^^]
* "A sweet little bird, this one. Mylene goes all out for friends, to the point where she would disregard her own comfort if it meant she could provide help. Don't you dare lay your dirty mitts on her, because I'll be coming for you." - [[Kahn'a Od'hilkas]]

 <div style="text-align:justify;">

===x. General===

Mylene is a traveling independent fisher, who makes small coin from selling her catches to merchants across the three city-states, as well as from picking up fishing jobs from the levemete at the adventurers' guild branches. She is considered to be new to the trade itself, but has been fishing all her life during her past travels with her father.

Soon after the beginning of her journey, Mylene was recruited into an Order of adventurers called The Tomial Order. A free company with a goal to assist with the rebuilding efforts of the city of Mor Dhona by taking up a wide variety of freelance jobs. Over time, Mylene has come to see the members of the order as family, and will always make every effort to not only contribute to the order's goals, but also to be a loving and loyal friend to its members.

===x. Appearance===

For a Hyur Midlander female, Mylene is as plain as they come. She has lightly tanned skin, olive-green eyes and somewhat unkempt brown hair that falls to her shoulders.

Her body is not built for combat, but despite her frail looking build, she has developed some upper-body strength from carrying equipment on the road during her lifetime, as well as from the occasional use of her bow.

She is on the shorter side of the height spectrum; growing up on the road forced her and her father to be content with whatever food was available for them on that sun, even if it wasn't very nutritious. If a little more coin were available on their hands after a job, they'd manage to acquire some food from the markets at whatever city-state they were near.

===x. Past===

Mylene grew up as a porter, and for lack of a better word, a ‘lackey’, for a traveling sellsword father named August Wharf (also known as “That Nutter” to a couple of Gridania’s merchants). She often recalls memories of chasing after him as he left her behind, laughing at how slow she was, while he excitedly embarked on a new job to obtain stolen goods or save a lost child. She carried their goods and equipment, took care of all the errands and despite her reluctance towards violence, she was occasionally forced to use her bow alongside her only friend whom she called ‘Father’.

Even with his appearance as a naive, goofy and irresponsible man, August was a very clever and perceptive individual. His wit, combined with his skill with arms, had made almost no quest impossible to him. Yet, looking back, Mylene realized that her father never took on any jobs that endangered them too much; probably because she was traveling with him. Whether or not this was one of the things kept his reputation under the radar is a fact that remains to be seen.

Mylene and her father were never able to stay at one location for a long enough time to make any acquaintances other than their temporary ‘Yorzeans in Distress!’, as August called them. The only familiar faces were the merchants whom they stocked their equipment from. It was running for job after job, traveling between Gridania, Ul'dah, Limsa Lominsa, and camping anywhere in between when need be. They were a family who were always alone, together.

It wasn't perfect, but Mylene’s simple life on the road with her father taught her valuable life lessons of patience, kindness and honesty.

===x. August Wharf: Life===

[RPer's Note: Mylene does not know any of the following. Despite her nagging, her father always kept the story of his past, and her origin, vague.]

<spoiler>
August Wharf, like many young boys his age, dreamed of nothing more than earning the right to the title of Dragoon. Someday he would join epic battles, fighting the dragons under the blessings of the Holy See's Knighthood. He was but a simple Hyur, his father was an errand boy for one of the Hyurian officers at Dragonhead. He was a nobody, in the eyes of the Elezen noble houses, but by Halone, he will one day be celebrated, as one of Ishgard's heroes.

Yet the dream never came. He wrote, visited, begged every messenger and watchman he could find, for a name-drop, an opportunity, anything that could help him apply to the ranks, only to be ignored or rejected. He felt deserted, forsaken by Halone. The anger was driving him insane. He saw others, less capable, less worthy, join the knighthood. Yet he was not about to forsake Ishgard. He was not like the others; he was no traitor.

On a dreadful, snowy night, a man came to him, commending him for his passion and loyalty. He said that he knew of the young boy's situation. "Fear not," he told him. "There is still a way for you, to become a hero for Ishgard".

---

Seven years had passed since that night. He was surprised he had lasted this long. His recruiter came to congratulate him, another successful job. The Faces of Mercy were pleased. He had acquired a taste for blood since he joined, and had lost count of the lives he took. August was celebrated alright, though not in the way he expected to be, growing up.

"I hope that the Gridanian woman was to your liking? A fine reward, I must say." The older man snorted, as he tossed a bag of coin at August's feet.

"Keep it up." He said as he turned away to leave. August looked down at the bag. He kicked it angrily and it hit the leg of one of the chairs, slightly moving it.

---

A couple of more years had passed, he was fed up. He was going to leave the Faces of Mercy, and he wasn't going to get killed. His second 'Faces' contact now owed August his life, and was going to help him escape. August is to be reported dead, and then it would all be over.

---

He went looking for her, the Gridanian woman.. What was he going to do? Beg for her forgiveness? He didn't know, but all he wanted to feel was atonement for what he did to her. As if atoning for that single act could erase all that he'd done.. He knew he sure didn't deserve it.

---

Perhaps Halone enjoyed mocking him.

The conjurer stared at the distressed man, vacantly. "Was she family? You are quite late.."

He had halfway bought his hand up to his eyes when he saw the small child. The resemblance struck him. His eyes widened, looking back at the conjurer.. "What is her name..?"

"Mylene. Like her mother's."

===x. August Wharf: Death===
<spoiler>

</spoiler>

===x. Present===

For the first time in her life, Mylene is now all alone. She was used to being accompanied and protected by her father and therefore she now feels pressure to live up to him and survive on her own. Yet, she is no heroine by any stretch of the imagination; she is nervous about dealing with conflict and will only reach for her bow under extreme circumstances.

She has recently come across a company named The Tomial Order. Inspired by its members' passion, she decides to join them despite her reclusive nature. She has a strong desire to see new places in Eorzea that she never got to see with her father.

===x. Behavior/Personality===

Highly sensitive and quiet, Mylene shows some social anxiety traits when she meets someone new due to the fact that her father was always the ice-breaker (in an often embarrassing way) when they ran into people. Once she has had a heart-to-heart, or gotten close enough to a person, she starts to become attached and puts it upon herself to do anything for them. She generally enjoys a more relaxed one-on-one conversation with those who will listen to her soft-spoken thoughts.

She hates the feeling of being labeled as useless. This stems from the judgement she receives when expressing her distaste for combat and fighting. She gets a lot of drive from the feeling of being trusted and the feeling of taking care of someone else whom she is close to. Companionship and loyalty are very important to her. She secretly hopes that in the future she’ll be able to accompany a traveling Eorzean whom she will share a bond of trust with, as she did growing up.

Mylene can be passive at times. Her anxious nature often makes her turn away from pursuing the things she wants, if she feels that pursuing them will create some sort of conflict of interest with those around her.

After her father's death, Mylene thought that she would be able to completely abandon the bow for good. Though day after day, this proves to be more difficult; she feels conflicted between the necessity of survival skills and her pacifist morals. In some way, Mylene's refusal to fight was her own, weak way of rebelling, embodying her condescension towards the lifestyle her father chose for them.

Sometimes, without realizing, she will rub her left wrist when she is nervous.

===x. Tidbits and Facts===

- Fishing is something that finds extremely soothing. The movement and sounds of water landscapes always send her daydreaming. It was one of the few things she could do for fun as a child. She did not have any toys, as there is no room for anything that is not absolutely necessary when you are on the road.

- She would always look forward to any visit to Limsa Lominsa or its surrounding areas. In contrast, she feels weary when she’s on her way to, or inside Ul'dah. She often feels that its people are cold and intimidating.

- Due to her previous lifestyle, Mylene doesn't have much experience with love. She is neither flirtatious, witty, nor striking; traits that many Eorzean males would find attractive in women. Because of her shyness, she will never attempt to pursue someone she finds attractive, and will probably go to her grave with her feelings without anyone ever realizing that she ever had them.

- After her father's death, Mylene spent some time living near Moraby Bay, trying to figure out a plan for herself and how she'll support herself for the rest of her life.
