== Character ==

=== General ===

'''C'kayah Polaali''' (''Ka-kai-yah Poh-lah-lee'') - aka '''C'kayah Tia''' (''Ka-kai-yah Tea-ah'') - is an active, vigorous Seeker of the Sun living in the city-state of Ul'dah. Urbanized, compared to many of the Coeurl tribe, he typifies the sort of energetic Seeker who leaves to [[Coeurl Tribe|Hunt the World]] and decides that it's pretty nice out there. While he grew up in a traditional Coeurl Sunseeker sept, he has recently adopted his maternal grandmother's surname of Polaali. Very distinctly not a hero, he walks that grey area between mere decadence and villainy.

'''Note: C'kayah does not have the Echo, nor is a part of the Scions. He has no information on anything relating to the events portrayed in the game.'''

=== Appearance ===

<blockquote>
"I am tall for a Miqo'te, and I have always been blessed with swift feet and an athletic build. My coarse brown hair is unruly, like my father's. I used to keep it braided, but I spend the time now to keep it styled. My eyebrows, which are fine, I get from my mother, as I do my eyes. I have fangs, a legacy from my maternal grandmother, a Keeper of the Moon. While I do not dress like a tribal Couerl - I am too fond of stylish urban Miqo'te fashion - my mannerisms sometimes give away my affiliations."
</blockquote>

=== Behavior ===

Despite his tribal background, C'kayah has adapted to civilized society like a fish to water. He is curious, energetic, and adventurous, with the sort of overweening fondness for the trappings of civilization that sometimes develops in civilized barbarians. While he likes to portray himself as a the same carefree Miqo that he's always been, living through the Calamity has affected him, making him more aware that ignoring a threat does not make that threat go away. He doesn't tell anyone, but the last five years have seen him apply himself to study (of healing, of history, and of politics) with a diligence that is quite unlike him. This wider understanding, paired with his natural charisma, has led him to develop an organized crime cartel whose influence is beginning to be felt throughout Thanalan.

== Combat ==

=== General ===

Originally trained in his tribe as a hunter, he has continued to hone his skills, becoming an accomplished tracker and archer. While he picked up the sword during the Calamity, he considered himself only knowledgable enough to get himself into trouble. Since his disastrous encounter with Thunder, he's applied himself to the study of swordsmanship with an uncharacteristic drive. His overall philosophy of combat is that it is best to engage an enemy in a way that he knows they have been defeated before they are even aware that they are in combat.

<blockquote>
"If I am in a fair fight, then I have done something terribly, terribly wrong."
</blockquote>

== Tendencies ==

<blockquote>
"Likes/Dislikes: I like to roam, and I like to return. I like good food, fine wine, witty conversation with intelligent people, beautiful women (oh? Did you think that a Tia, by not breeding, has no knowledge of women?), and comfortable living. I like subtle and thought-provoking poetry and philosophy. Dislikes? I am not fond of Elezen, or at least those Elezen who maintain that the rest of us are merely invaders in their world. I dislike limitations. I dislike foolish behavior, maudlin sentimentality and boredom. Most of all, though, I like power and I dislike an empty purse."

=== Family ===

<blockquote>
"My parents are C'xin Nunh and C'issapa Oya. My father is very conservative, holding to the "eternal ways of of Coeurl Tribe". My mother... is something of a free spirit. They said that she has Keeper blood in her, which I suppose means that I have it as well. My own wandering feet I have certainly inherited from her. Other relatives? You know how it is in a Seeker tribe, especially one such as the Coeurls. I have many relatives, many siblings by my father, yet none (that I know of) by my mother. Some I got along with very well, and we exchange letters to this day, though I have not seen any of my siblings since I left to Hunt the World, twelve years ago."
</blockquote>

::<font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> '''C'xin Nunh:''' C'kayah's father. C'xin is extremely conservative, and expects C'kayah to uphold the traditions of the tribe. Often distant with his children, C'xin nevertheless takes an active interest in their lives.
::<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> '''C'issapa Oya:''' C'kayah's mother. C'issapa is an extremely free-spirited and free-thinking woman whose sharp canines and large eyes betray a mixed ancestry. C'issapa reveres Menphina, and it is from her that C'kayah developed his own devotion to the diety. C'kayah and C'issapa have always been extremely close.
::<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font><font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> '''The rest:''' As is common with Seeker tribes, C'kayah has many brothers and sisters.

=== Other Relationships ===

<blockquote>
"I suppose my natural disposition is to make fresh acquaintances, and to break with them so readily, although always for a good reason, and never through mere fickleness."
</blockquote>

::<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Alyeis Daimeiris]]:''' A mysterious Keeper with an extralegal background who has been seen in his company from time to time. Considering both of their pasts, there is some speculation that they may be working together towards nefarious ends.
::<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Ari'za Tyanu]]:''' A young Seeker who C'kayah took on as a member of Tylwyth Narah and a student in the darker aspects of criminal activities, their relationship immediately grew complicated when she discovered she was with child. Her rough past left her with little ability to trust others, but C'kayah's willingness to commit to aiding the woman led to a fragile trust between her and him. While the two are attracted to one another, though her views of Seeker relationships prevent them from acting on this. After the birth of her twin daughters, he found himself spending a great deal of time with the children until the appearance of an old enemy of hers convinced her that the safest course of action for her and her children would be to go into hiding.
::<font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Aya Foxheart]]:''' C'kayah met this attractive Hyur when he passed through Fallgourd Float. The two immediately bonded over drink and flirty conversation. They saw little of one another for some months after that, until she relocated to Ul'dah and began to work in the Quicksand as a barmaid, when they renewed their friendship. They share similar outlooks, both having rejected the future their childhood was preparing them for in favor of living their lives as they want to. While it is clear that both are attracted to each other, he values her primarily as a friend and will do anything to help her, should she be in need.
::<font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Dennthota Ahtahrmwyn]]:''' A Roegadyn bandit going by the street name of Thunder and leader of a gang who viciously attacked C'kayah outside the Royal Ball in Ul'dah. While C'kayah originally orchestrated a manhunt for the bandit, her elusiveness has led him to abandon the search. He has taken to wearing a sword in case the bandit strikes again.
::<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Erik Mynhier]]:''' C'kayah met Erik through Siha, who the big Hyur adopted as a sister. Erik is everything C'kayah is not: tall, noble and virtuous. Despite all of that, C'kayah found himself enjoying the big Hyur's company, possibly due to Erik's loyalty towards Siha. As time passed, however, he began to be aware that all was not well with the Hyur. A strong sense of duty compounded by a devotion to dying a heroic death made him wary, distancing himself from the man. His fears proved well-founded when Erik was killed in what, to C'kayah, were completely avoidable circumstances. After heroic measures by Siha, he was returned to life. Since his death and return, however, he has heard rumors of troubling behavior.
::<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Friederike Visconti]]:''' A Miqo'te bartender from the Laughing Lady, his friendship with the woman has grown from their early acquaintance to it's current solid form. When the Lady folded, he brought her into Tylwyth Narah to act as an assistant to Kenthy.
::<font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Kage Kiryuu]]:''' C'kayah met this Lalafell while trying to reverse the effects of Natalie's tempering. The pair bonded over their shared interest in helping her, and have since become fast friends. Kage's ascension to the ranks of the Sultansworn pleased him, though lately he's begun to wonder if the realities of the position are good for the Lalafell's innocent spirit. Kage made up the fourth member of the Cat tribe before it's dissolution. Kage and Natalie's creation of a new tribe with Kage as Nunh mere days after the dissolution of the Cat tribe has soured C'kayah's feelings for the Lalafell, moreso after Kage's mysterious transformation into a Miqo'te. However, a recent meeting between the two has somehow convinced C'kayah to act as a mentor to Kage, helping the man come to terms with his new identity. The transformation proved temporary, however, and with his return to Lalafellin form, Kage has disappeared.
::<font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Kanaria Galanodel]]:''' Osric Melkire's Hyur lover. C'kayah helped her to save Askier Mergrey during his ill-fated attempt to attack Ul'dah under pressure from the Garleans. As a reward, she brought him news that Osric had been tasked with C'kayah's death. Rationally he doesn't blame her for the dissolution of his tribe, but feelings often do not have a basis in rationality.
::<font style="color:#F02311;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> '''[[L'kenthi Rarahn]]:''' A Sunseeker with a mysterious past who C'kayah has been seen conversing with lately. Their relationship is complex, with Kenthy's acidic nature hiding sincere feelings for her. For his part, C'kayah highly values her judgement, and has made her his lieutenant within Tylwyth Narah. While those close to them have seen hints of the deeper feelings that run between them, neither share the details of their relationship with strangers.
::<font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Kiht Jakkya]]:''' Vice Matriarch to the Morbolvine clan and associate of an underworld figure C'kayah has dealt with in the past. Their relationship is colored by suspicion and doubt. While they recently overcame their past antagonism, bonding over shared regard for the clan, it was not long before renewed conflict soured their relationship.
::<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Liana Blu]]:''' C'kayah met Liana as she was burying the remnants of a Roegadyn that had attacked Suri. Moved by his concern for Suri, she was convinced to let him help them to escape Ul'dahn justice. Thal to Suri's Nald, C'kayah has nothing but admiration for her. He once harbored hopes of something more, but she rebuked him. After Suri's departure, they briefly pursued an odd relationship - not friends, not lovers, but something else. As the months have gone on, he's seen Liana less and less. After her near-mortal injury and rebirth, he renewed his friendship with the Keeper.
::<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font>'''[[Lilithium Altair]]:''' An alchemist to whom he supplied contraband materials, something sparked between C'kayah and this Hyur. When they met, both were nursing freshly broken hearts, and they tried to balance their mutual attraction with some degree of caution, circling one another like a pair of gladiators in the moment before the attack. They soon both admitted that their attraction was real, and began to spend a great deal of time together, developing a complex and unconventional open relationship which consumed them for a time.
::<font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Natalie Mcbeef]]:''' A dedicated Sultansworn Paladin who subjected him to an in-depth investigation. Over the course of it, the pair were surprised at the feelings they developed for each other. Despite the misgivings of their friends and associates, the pair decided to pursue a relationship that blossomed into an extremely strong partnership. Over the months they grew closer, eventually attempting to create an urban Miqo'te tribe in Ul'dah. This ended with a vicious fight seemingly caused by the strain of trying to deal with two different groups that wanted C'kayah dead. The news that she formed a new tribe, with Kage Kiryuu as Nunh mere days afterwards has transformed his love for her into a burning hate that has only gradually subsided. Her sudden death has left him extremely conflicted when it comes to her.
::<font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Miah Polaali]]:''' Matriarch of the Morbolvine clan. A distant relative of C'kayah's, he has dealt with the Morbolvines for years as a smuggler. Recently renewing his relationship with the clan, he discovered their old Matriarch dead and Miah in her place. He's aware of Miah's driving ambition to turns the clan into something more: a Power in the underworld. While he is interested in helping them take this place, he has repeatedly run afoul of the mercurial Keeper and doubts her ability to achieve her ambitions. Recent events have led to what seems to be unreconcilable hostility between them.
::<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font><font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Osric Melkire]]:''' A usually-mased Immortal Flame with whom C'kayah worked to stop Askier Mergrey's plans for detonating a ceruleum bomb in Ul'dah. While the two are sometimes antagonistic, it is clear that C'kayah holds a grudging respect for the man, considering him a beacon of honorable behavior in an otherwise unrecoverably corrupt organization. At the same time, Osric's staged hunt of C'kayah was a catalyst for the dissolution of his tribe, and he still holds an active dislike for the man for that.
::<font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Rinh'li Nelhah]]:''' Another Morbolvine and associate of Dennthota's, the hostility of this Keeper to C'kayah isimmediately clear to any who see them together. For his part, C'kayah delights in baiting the stuttering, angry man.
::<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Rinh'sae Nelhah]]:''' Brother to Rinh'li, Rinh'sae and C'kayah have gradually warmed up to one another. Rinh'sae has done work for him, and his competent and loyal nature have sparked a strong regard for the Keeper in C'kayah.
::<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Roswyn Valhuri]]:''' A young Keeper woman who C'kayah's known for years, though they only re-established contact with one another within the past year. For a time, their feelings for one another were all-consuming and clear to anyone who saw them together. The violence of their attraction threw them together and spun them apart until at last C'kayah began to avoid her, though he continued to watch after her from afar. After his first encounters with Lolorito's assassins, he contacted her for aid and found that she'd changed radically from the ambitious girl he'd known into a smart, capable woman. He was surprised at this change, but more surprised that their feelings for one another remained just as strong, though tempered by his belief that neither could be what the other desired. Despite this, his feelings for her continued to grow, until one disastrous night soon after the dissolution of the Cat tribe. Her simultaneous revelation that she had become the mate of another and her insistence on his presence in her life - in his mind as a sort of Tia - left him shattered and for a time he refused to see her. They have since attempted to reconcile, but fate seems to desire to keep the pair apart. After an emergency pulled him away from her, she broke off contact with him. He's since realized that their relationship is healthy for neither of them, and has resigned himself to not seeing her. Distance has allowed his feelings to settle, and he returned to his old practice of keeping an eye on her from the shadows, ready to use his resources to ensure her safety.
::<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Siha Xinkei]]:''' A scrappy little Keeper girl who was rejected by her family, Siha has managed to touch a genuine spot of compassion in his decadent heart. News of Erik's illness shocked her, causing her to dedicate herself to finding some way to save her brother. After his death and rebirth, she pulled away, spending more and more time in the pursuit of dark studies with cruel associates for a time before recently coming back into his life. He discovered that the innocent girl he knew is now a capable and intelligent woman. Her confession of her feelings for him left him thoughtful for the future for a time, though she vanished again soon after that, leaving him wondering where she is and what she's doing.
::<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> '''[[User:S'rahvi Khai|S'rahvi Khai]]:''' An extremely attractive Seeker C'kayah met through Natalie. While their relationship was originally based on mutual attraction, they've since become close friends. Rahvi's abilities as an alchemist have proved very valuable to C'kayah.
::<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Shifu Karambit]]:''' An intense Keeper woman, new to Ul'dah, who had been seen in Natalie and C'kayah's company quite a bit before his departure from their tribe.
::<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Surilian Blu]]:''' A young Keeper who's somehow managed to kindle extremely strong (and completely unexpected) feelings in him. A characteristically ham-handed declaration of those feelings drove her away, much to his despair. His attempts to patch things up in the aftermath failed miserably, as neither Miqo'te were able to overcome their awkward inability to really communicate. As the months have passed, his feelings for her have not declined. Recently, following an attack by the bandit Thunder, C'kayah learned that Suri risked her life in an attempt to exact vengeance, suffering capture and torture at the hands of the bandit, though he also learned that Suri had worked briefly with her, promising to deliver C'kayah to Thunder in exchange for the death of Natalie - a deal Suri broke within minutes. The pair have since admitted their feelings for one another, though in the typically dysfunctional manner they exhibit with one another. Suri's decision to become [[Artorias Mason|Artorias Mason's]] mate spurred a resolve in him to stand by her and support her relationship with the Hyur. His love for her remains, but he tries to keep it buried inside. Recent events led them to fight, and he no longer sees her.
::<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Tana Firesong]]:''' C'kayah encountered this odd Miqo'te lancer when she attacked him for his supposed crimes against the general public. Escaping with the help of Natalie, the pair eventually worked past their differences and became friends. While guarding him, she earned the ire of the Morbolvines after a duel went bad, resulting in her departure to the mountains. Despite this, he continues to defend her and hopes that she is well.
::<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> '''[[Torken Queb]]:''' A tall Hyur sellsword who C'kayah has hired in the past for jobs. Forceful and direct almost to a fault, Torken has proved valuable in situations where discretion isn't called for.
::<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> '''[[V'lanya Mei]]:''' A beautiful and witty Keeper that C'kayah struck up a conversation with. Her wit reminds him of Roswyn, though her nature is far darker.

== History/Timeline ==

=== 1548-1565 Childhood/adolescence ===

C'kayah was born into a sept of the Coeurl Tribe in the deserts around Ul'dah, C'kayah (like many Seekers) both loved the security of his enormous extended family and chafed at the restrictions imposed by them. Coeurl tribe children typically join a ''ton'' at adolescence, leaning to fill an adult's role with the tribe. With his love of wandering, he chose the Hunter's ton, learning the skills of tracking and shooting and enjoying the freedom that tramping through the wilderness provided. On his seventeenth name-day, he left his sept to [[Coeurl Tribe|Hunt the World]], a Coeurl "travelling ritual".

=== 1565-1572 The carefree life ===

Initially upon leaving his tribe, Ul'dah drew him in, as it draws in so many. When he first arrived he had no money, so life was hard for him. His skills were ill-suited toward gaining a living within the city, so he found himself earning his way through mercenary work, caravan-guarding and the like. Along the way he developed his rudimentary Couerl medical talents, becoming a decent frontier medic. Ul'dah is a decadent place, and he took to this decadence wholeheartedly, especially after attracting the notice of A'rela Nereh, a wealthy silver merchant. Twice his age and a notorious consumer of attractive young Miqo'te, he briefly became her lover while she, in turn, taught him to appreciate the comforts of civilization as well as the importance of connections, though he did not appreciate ''that'' lesson until years later. Back on his own when her attentions wandered, he began to supplement his income by smuggling and theft and soon grew wealthy enough to enjoy life in Ul'dah. All good things must come to an end, however, and he was chased out of that city in his eighteenth year.

Over the next few years, he made his way across the world, spending most of his time around Limsa Lominsa and Gridania. Like Ul'dah, these places combined plentiful opportunities for acquiring money with a wealth of pleasures on which to spend it. By this time he had developed a grab bag of competencies, allowing him to get by while avoiding the tedium of a full-time occupation: smuggling, petty theft (though never more than his victims could afford), fixing (in the sense of ''arranging'' matters), and even the occasional legitimate job. In Gridania he met his first real love, a young thief who called herself S'aitei Koei - an obvious pseudonym. Another Ul'dan refuge, S'aitei was an escaped slave with the lash scars on her back to prove the cruelty of that institution to him. Settling in the Shroud, they made the forest their home, living from the proceeds of C'kayah's smuggling. Their intense and unconventional affair lasted nearly three years, consuming them until they could no longer sustain it, like coal burned to ash. They remained close friends afterwards, and much of his apparent arrested adolescence and inveterate womanizing could be considered his heart yearning to return to those three devastating years.

=== 1572/0-Present Calamity ===

C'kayah did not take the Garlean threat seriously at first, considering such politics to be inconsequential to him. As the clouds of war gathered, however, he began to see how he may be affected. Like many around Gridania, he learned to handle a sword in anticipation of a Garlean invasion of the city proper, though he moved to the city when the Gridanians set out for Cartaneau.

Like all who survived the Calamity, the devastation wrought by Bahamut and the red moon shocked him, giving him the full measure of the Garlean threat. He awaited the end with the other Gridanians, and when it did not come, he lent his aid as a medic to the streams of refugees and survivors. The event opened his eyes to the larger concerns of the world.

S'aitei disappeared during this time, and he presumes she died in the calamity. He nurtures a slow-burning hatred of the Garleans as a result of her loss.

In the aftermath of the Calamity, he gradually returned to his old ways. Smuggling and ''fixing'', in his mind, were good ways to both help those who lacked what they needed while also giving him the money he desired. He has recently managed to placate the Ul'dahn Syndicate and was allowed to return to that city, where he began to give up his wandering life. Gathering a number of talented criminals, he began to contract out their services as the Nald'Thal's Hand Social Club. Once the Club reached a significant size and level of power, he left it in the hands of his old lieutenant, a Seeker woman named [[Emelie Annel]], to pursue other opportunities. The Club operated for a time out of [http://laughinglady.enjin.com/| The Laughing Lady], a tavern known for its underworld ties, before shutting down recently.

His time at the head of the NHSC opened his eyes to the larger political landscape of the Ul'dahn underworld, and he went from observing it to trying to manipulate it. In the time since his departure from the NHSC, he has concentrated on building ties with ever more criminal organizations. Students of the Ul'dahn underworld sometimes speculate that he's engaged in a long-term manipulation of the underworld, with the ultimate goal of placing him on the Syndicate.

With his mate [[Natalie Mcbeef]], he created the [[Cat Tribe]], an urban Miqo'te tribe roughly based off of [[Coeurl Tribe]] customs. [[Kage Kiryuu]] and [[Shifu Karambit]] were more recent additions. However, recent allegations that he was behind an attack on the family home of [[Lolorito]], the head of the East Aldenard Trading Company and member of the Syndicate, have led him to leave his tribe and mates, fleeing Ul'dah. The added strain of a second party seeking his life sparked a vicious fight that resulted in his abandonment by both Natalie and Kage, leaving him alone to face his foes.

Following his tribe's betrayal, he began to focus on restoring his network of underworld contacts and engineering a return to power, all while under pressure from Lolorito's assassins and bounty hunters. He immediately faced an additional complication when the rogue Flame [[Osric Melkire]] fingered him for an assassination attempt. He managed to turn this to his advantage, staging his own death to remove the threat from Lolorito and let him figure a permanent solution to the problem. This came in the form of a shadowy deal with a little-known Shroud-based underworld figure, who somehow managed to convince the Syndicate figure that C'kayah wasn't behind the attack. At the same time, his relationship with [[Roswyn Valhuri]] changed for the worse, leaving him shattered and easy prey for a clan of Keepers, the [[http://morbolvines.enjin.com/ Morbolvine Clan]], who were associated with the bandit Thunder. Their unfamiliarity with keeping prisoners led to his easy scape

It was about this time that he encountered [[Kenthy Pennyfeather]], an acidic and abrasive Sunseeker. The two developed an unlikely friendship, leading to their work in the Sea Wolf crime syndicate [[http://tylwyth-narah.enjin.com/ Tylwyth Narah]]. Soon after this he sold alchemical reagents to [[Lilithium Altair]], a charismatic Hyur. He was immediately attracted to her, and pursued her aggressively. Nursing a freshly broken heart herself, she held him at arms length, though their mutual attraction prevented her from turning him away completely. Over time the pair grew close, finally admitting their love together and falling into a complex relationship which consumed them for some time before shattering, the pair parting for reasons neither are willing to discuss. At the same time, his relationship with Kenthy grew more and more solid, and the pair are now quite devoted to each other and to the success of Tylwyth Narah.

As Tylwyth Narah grew, the ruins of his relationship with Natalie led to an uneasy alliance between him and a number of renegade Sultansworn. Tasked with helping their attempts at leashing [[Osric Melkire]] and the Red Wings, he was given an extremely valuable Syndicate charter to establish a business in Thanalan. This led to the creation of the Guiding Hand Trade Consortium, an import/export trade concern which deals primarily in compact valuables. As the GHTC grew in wealth, he seemingly abandoned his criminal pursuits in favor of legitimate business, something he loudly maintains is true. Despite this, Tylwyth Narah continues to grow with C'kayah and Kenthy at the head.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Appearance & Personality</div>===

'''Hair:''' Dusty Gold<br>
'''Eyes:''' Gold & Green<br>
'''Height:''' 4 feet 9 inches<br>
'''Weight:''' 125 lbs.<br>
'''Body Type:''' Thicker than most Miq'ote women with very pronounced curves, wide hips, and a large bust. While she was previously a bit heavier in times of plenty, the recent time of hardship has seen her thin out rather visibily. She still retains her curvaceous figure however.<br>
'''Clothing Preference:''' White or light cotton cloth. She prefers to wear as little as possible most of the time to keep cool.

'''Dedicated:''' If there was a single word to describe K'luha, it would be dedicated. When she sets her mind to an ideal or a task, she tries to fulfill it with every breath and movement. She is dedicated to a fault, ignoring her own health, desires, and mental state in order to fulfill her duty. The thing she is most dedicated to is her people of the tribe. She makes grueling trips, frequently exhausts all her aether and then some, handles the slimy merchants of Ul'dah all for their sake, and attempts to never utter a single complaint about it. Her dedication almost lead her to forsaken even her own daughter, although she is not completely unreasonable in her dedication to the tribe and thus was able to see reason. <br><br>
'''Compassionate:''' K'luha is indeed a mother, and thus she strives to have empathy and compassion. Although this trait is rather strained when it comes to having compassion for outsiders, it shines very clearly within her own tribe. She feels deeply her family's injuries, and seeks to heal them wherever she can. Her compassion for her people goes hand in hand with her intense dedication. <br><br>
'''Hot-Headed:''' K'luha is infamous for being quick to anger, and can often get in trouble for it. Perhaps her most regrettable incident was a fight with her sister that ended with her sister's exile from the tribe. A single negative word about her daughter is the quickest way to spark K'luha's anger, as K'ailia means the world to her. Threats again her people also are a quick way to ignite a furious Miq'ote. With K'luha's anger is also a quickness to violence, although this mostly applies only to outsiders.

====<div style="padding:0px 20px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">1544-1560</div>====

=====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Childhood (1544-1556)</div>=====
Born in 1544 on 16th Astral Moon deep within the Sagolii, K'luha was one of four children born to K'thajon Jhani. She is the eldest daughter, and second born. K'yhaega Tia is her eldest brother by two years, and K'thrup Tia is her younger brother by a single year. Her younger sister is K'makanee, younger by two years. Born into the Hipparion Tribe, K'luha lived with her family in isolation from the rest of the world. She was always a grumpy, but excitable child. K'luha spent much of her time getting in trouble with her brothers and sister. They often slipped away from the watchful eye of the Nunh and their family to explore the desert. She was eager to learn to hunt with a bow and lance, but her mother always insisted she learn the art of the weaving and leatherworking. It was with much disdain at first that she learned to work fabric and bent it to her will and need. K'thajon, her mother, often left the tribe to take their excess wears to trade at outposts and sometimes, all the way to Ul'dah. K'luha was always fascinated by her mother's trips to the outside world and the amazing things she brought back. When K'luha turned twelve, her mother finally brought her along on a journey to Ul'dah and taught her about the cities. The vastness of people and the strange alien races fascinated the young girl, and it made her wonder what else could be out in the wild world.

=====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Teenage</div>=====
After her first excursion to Ul'dah, K'luha began to accompany her mother out more and more often. She became more rebellious as well. When she was fourteen, she accompanied her mother to Ul'dah and then stole away from her, hiding on a carriage bound for Gridania. She found herself in a wondrous forest world. K'luha was surprisingly resourceful, and managed to sneak her way back to Ul'dah and then back to the tribe some weeks later. Her mother was furious, but relieved she was still alive. This would only be the first time that K'luha began to steal away into the cities, exploring Eorzea with some small pieces at a time. The second time she stole away to Limsa Lominsa to see the sea and floating city of Nym. She was punished harshly on her return. K'luha found herself torn, wanting to explore the world and yet wanting to remain with her family. She argued with her mother and siblings and the elders, and when they would not see her way, she packed her things and stole away on a chocobo. She did not make it far before a certain K'yohko Tia stopped her. He walked with her to the nearest outpost, never trying to convince her to come back but once.

: [[K'ailia Yohko]] : K'luha's second daughter to K'yohko Nuhn. She was born very small and weak, and K'luha constantly worried over her daughter and tried to protect her. As she has grown, she'd proven more and more worrisome. A series of events lead K'ailia to be exiled from the tribe, a source of endless heartache for K'luha. Her standing with her daughter is one of many emotions. She will always love and care for her daughter, but she is weary about seeing her and disobeying her tribe's law.

After a fight with K'luha broke out over K'ailia's behavior at a young age, K'manakee was banished from the tribe. It was unknown she was with child at the time. K'manakee raised Tahj in the Shroud, and when the Calamity killed it was K'ailia who found out about Tahj's exsistance in an orphange. K'luha and K'ile picked up their young niece and brought her into the tribe. K'luha loves her niece dearly, but finds her of guild and pain as well. She is guilty that she deprived her sister and Tahj of the life they should have had with family, and also shame that her sister had seemingly raised Tahj so much better than she had raised K'ailia.

: [[K'yohko Nunh]] : K'luha chosen nuhnwith whom she has mothered two children. The first died without a name two moths after it was born, and the second is K'ailia. While she respects K'yohko as the tribe's nuhn, she has never felt particularly strongly about his place. Their relationship is rocky at best. She is most agitated by his stoic and unemotional nature, or perhaps it is by his inability to comprehend and show emotion readily.

: <font style="color:#F02311;" size="3">♥</font> [[K'ile Tia]] : Somewhere along the way, K'luha somehow feel for the Tia she frequently butted heads with. She finds him charming and infuriating at the same time. After declaring he loved her, K'luha readily gave her support to him in a bid to take K'yohko's place as Nunh. Although K'luha is unsure about his ability to win, she decided she would mate with him even if he lost.

: <font style="color:#F02311;" size="3">♥</font> [[Ventus Zeruel]] : K'ailia's old Headmaster from her time at the Ul'dah Garden. Although K'luha has threatened to kill him in increasingly violent ways, their more recent meetings have been far more kind. She finds him intriguing in a way those in her family could never be. She has long since stopped holding him responsible for leading her daughter astray.
