==History== <br />
<br /> <center>{{redacted}}</center> <!-- Okiku was born in the spring, on a cold rainy night, after her twin Tamamin. The two were identical, and the moment they were placed next to each other the began holding hands. That is how Tamamin and Okiku would grow: Hand in hand. At the age of two, before they even really knew their parents, the two were sold off to Hemji house. This is because their parents were regrettably poor. Though the family who "adopted" them promised they would be raised as two beloved daughters, this was not the case. They were raised as servants, and though day to day treatment was not entirely unfair, they would be beaten should they make any mistakes. Their primary care taker was the maid, Ai. She was clumsy and young but took good care of the twins. She would help them with their day to day tasks and watch over them so that they would not get in trouble. <br />
The girls didn't receive much time to play, but it was Tamamin who came up with the idea of a game that later make up the majority of their favorite memories. They pretended they were in a fantasy land, that they had been captured by an evil pirate who locked them up in the small cellar they called their room. When ever they did chance the time outside, usually when Ai was washing the clothing, they would run through the small forest located near the mason and would pretend they had escaped, only to be captured again. They called themselves the "ghosts" of the mason. <br />
Their happy lives came to and end when there was to be a large celebration. The girls were tasked with setting the tables and Tamamin dropped a priceless plate, in front of the Lord and Lady's only son. He cornered the girls and told them that he would tell the Lord about the plate if Tamamin did not agree to marry him. The young girl , reluctantly , agreed out of fear. Overwhelmed, Okiku pushed him away from Tamamin, forcing him to fall into a vase which shattered and badly wounded him. As a result, she was thrown down a well and left to drown.--> <br /><br />
Okiku, who had been thrown in a well, was rescued by a passing circus. She had no memory of how or why she was in the well, only that she'd been forcibly pushed into it. Her memory loss was the result of a head injury , and multiple cases of loss of consciousness. She was remedied by a doctor who was also a tight rope walker for the circus. The Elezen's name was Francis, and he was the reason Okiku was alive. He bargained with the owner of the Circus to allow Okiku to stay, and in order to keep her around long her, taught her the art of tight rope and slack line walking. Ki adapted well to the former and often performed with Francis on stage. He became an older brother to her, and she a sister to him. Okiku was very obviously talented, and became a true member of the circus quite quickly. Despite her memory loss she adapted quite well, and was quick to make friends with her kindness and loving, adorable nature. Her first friend in the circus was Relinina Stow, and the two would eventually develop a strange affection for each other akin to love. Ki never could recall her past, and something deep in the back of her mind told her it was best not to. However, in the midst of one of her performances a small flash back came to her, and she fell from the tight rope, to the floor below. This resulted in an injury that, had it not been for Francis, would have prevented her from ever walking properly again. Francis was a genius, however, whose talents were wasted in a circus. He developed a device that, when places in and around Okiku's spine, would allow her to bend normally again, and eve walk the ropes. His hopes were that the device could eventually be surgically removed and Ki could walk with out it's help. This would take time. After this fall, Okiku would often have nightmare about the memory, though she never told any one this. When Ki was 14, her circus traveled to Eorzea, coming to rest outside of Gridania. Their plan had been to stay for a couple months, but it was during these months that the Calamity would occur, resulting in the end of the circus. Okiku managed to find Francis and stay by his side. The two kept to traveling and performing when they needed money. It was during these travels that Okiku met Sami, and the two quickly became friends. However, shortly after Francis became ill, and died swiftly with no apparent reason. Thus Okiku was left all alone, she stuck close to Sami' side and the two made a home for each other in Camp Drybone. From here time moved slowly. Okiku took up the art of lace work, which she became quite proficient at. <br /><br />
<br />
The girls' lives continued for several years with out incident. As Ki grew older she began to frequent the streets of Ishgard, and started performing more , while Sami took delving further into her research. The two however kept in contestant contact. It was in Ishgard, that Okiku met an interesting Miqo'te by the name of [[Ainle Goldpaw]], who, after a short discussion with her, invited her to join the 81st Foreign Levy of the Maelstrom. She accepted his offer, and brought Sami along with her to meet them formally and officially join them. Though a newcomer to their ranks, Okiku hopes to achieve much with them and it is here that her story begins.<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
Okiku is very gentle and extremely formal. That being said, it's hard to catch her with out a smile on her face. The simplest of things make her smile, a butterfly on a flower, the sea breeze, a certain Miqo'te and her damn ghosts. She reasonably polite and seems very unbiased about most things, the things she is heated on bring a colorful range of emotions to her often calm features. To many close to her she may seem quite innocent, though this is really because she dose not know how to handle flirtatiousness. Ki is still quite young at heart, having no memories she really only see's herself as a ten year old sometimes. This leads to her taking a childish stance on thing's she really cares about. She often feel's disconnected from others, her biggest fear being that she will never matter to any one, and as a result she give's of an aura (no pun intended) of loneliness. She love's making friends and meeting new people but she has a tough time letting people in. Despite all this, she's always happy and hardly ever let's thing's get her down. She's by no means stand offish, and occasionally, when comfortable, may crack a joke or be flirty. <br />
The darker sides of Ki's personality are only seen under the right circumstances or by the right people. Her fear of being alone, of never being important to those she cares so much about, of all ways being in the back ground. Her insecurities, she hates her scales, she's small and fear's shell always be seen as a child. And most of all, the weight she bares from the death of her loved ones, her never ending pain from the blame she feel's for their death's. <br />
Yet, for those few people who do see these sides of her, might also see her light, and the thing's that make her beautiful. Her smile, she's always smiling, for those around her and for herself. Her strength and loyalty to those she loves. The gentleness of her voice, and how much she genuinely care's about those around her.<br />
<br />
==Relationships==<br />

<center> <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font>'''.:[[Sami Molkoh]]:.''' </center><br />
Ki's first friend after the Calamity , Sami and Ki met each other while both in a time of need and quickly hit it off. The two shared a fire like personality and were drawn to each other because of this. Over time Ki began to understand her feelings for Sami were more than that of feelings of friendship, and she found herself falling for the Miqo'te. However out of respect for her friend who obviously did not share the feelings, she quickly locked them away were the eventually diminished into a small flame but never truly disappeared. Now the two find themselves as close as two friend can get, trusting their lives to each other. <br /><br />

<br />
<center> <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> <font style="color:#000000;" size="5">†</font>'''.:Francis Tomsonford:.'''</center><br />
The Elezen who saved Okiku from the well quickly became a brother like figure and parent at the same time. As both a performer and doctor of the circus she would eventually perform at, he was the one who healed her injuries, and brought her to love tight rope walking so much. 10 years older than her, Francis brought wisdom to Okiku's life. He introduced her to painting, and tinkering along side her many other hobbies. Though she never told him, Francis became the person Okiku would perform for time after time on stage. After a fall from the ropes that would have been the end of Shiki's career, he placed a small mechanism that would allow her to bend her back properly again. He believed that, in due time, he would be able to remove the device and she would no longer need it. However , he fell ill shortly after the Calamity, and 12 year old Okiku could do nothing but watch her dearest friend wither away and die. <br /><br />
<br />
<br />
<center> <font style="color:#F02311;" size="3">♥</font> <font style="color:#000000;" size="5">†</font>'''.: Relinina Stow:.'''</center><br />
The hyuran performer was captivated by Okiku the moment she was pulled from the well, being the one to first find Okiku in it. Five years older than Okiku, Relinina was careful to admit her affection for Okiku. However, Okiku, though young, found herself equality captivated by Relinia, and three years after meeting the two fell into a relationship. The two shared a short, whirl wind romance that never should have happened, and ended with Relinia's death in the Calamity. Despite the fact their relationship was riddled with flaws, Okiku still thinks fondly of Relinia, but understands that it would have never worked. <br /><br />

<center>The Seeker would be her reason for joining the 81st, and her first friend amongst them. As a result, Ki tend's to look up to Ainle. His will power and loyalty inspire her to help the 81st as best she can and then some. Though Ki is still quite new to them, she hopes to become even closer of friends with the Miqo'te.((Sami fix the black hearts for the love of god!))</center><br />

<center> <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font>'''.:[[Senelle Silverlight]]:.''' </center><br />
The Elezen perplexes Ki to no end. While the Au Ra has slowluy begun to see her as a mother like figure, she also seems to put Ki in embarrassing spots. In know was dose Okiku resent Senelle for this and on a goodnight you might catch Ki admitting that she enjoy's the woman's banter and seemingly endless wisdom.<br />
<br />
<br />
<center> <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font>'''.:[[Lynn'wo Vahnal]]:.''' </center><br />
Okiku met the Keeper at a dance hosted by their shared company. Lynn's flirtatious and mischievous attitude has both perplexed the Au Ra and peeked her interest in him. She find's him to be absolutely charming, yet this brings her to be cautious of him as well as she not used to such behavior. None the less, she trusts him and dose not mind his flirting.<br />

==Other Notes==<br />
===Religion=== <br />
Ki has never really been religious due to the fact she was never exposed to it until late in life. She dose believe in an after life but worships no deity. None the less she respects the religions of others. <br />
<br />
===Quirks===<br />
*Ki has a fascination with dancing, seeing as how she's performer. That being said, dancing is her weak point in her performance abilities. When feeling down, she could often be seen dancing alone, sometimes to no music, in an entirely clumsy and uncoordinated way. More often than not she bumps into things while doing this, she bruises quite easily. <br /><br />
*While not the most talented singer in all the realm, Ki enjoys humming to herself from time to time and is quite good at it. She can be found doing this while cooking/tinkering/bathing and dose not mind others listening to her. She often likes to make up languages while she sings, believing it makes her sound better. <br /><br />
*When bored, Okiku is likely to burst into dance. It's best not to question it. <br /><br />
*She likes to paint rainbows on her wrists and ankles. Again, it best left unquestioned. <br />
<br />
==Notable Quotes==<br />
*"War only exists because there is always some one to fight."<br />
*"I've seen men's passions destroy them, I've watched them become some one else in the name of something they love. I will not fall like them."<br />
*"Tikki, transorme mwah!"<br />
*"For it is her that I've run the lines of insanity for, and I shall do so again if need be." <br />
*"It is selfish to die for some one else."<br />
<br />
<br />
===Rumours===<br />
Okiku has no real or threatening rumors floating around her. She's quite careful and performs under the stage name "The Lonely Ghost." <br />
<br />
===Known Haunts===<br />
You might have run into or otherwise know Ki from:<br />
<br />
* Ishgard<br />
* The Beaches in Mist<br />
* The Golden Saucer (When she dose perform, it's usually here)<br />
* Camp Drybone<br />
<br />
===OOC Inspirations===<br />
Ki is based off of the old Japanese folk tale , Bancho Sarayashiki, a story about a girl thrown down a well because she refused to marry the lord of the manor she was a servant at. This Okiku died and became a ghost and was tormented in the afterlife. Thus, I wrote MY Okiku to be the Okiku who lived. The Okiku who, despite her past, moves on from such things and makes something of herself. Ki should be happy, find some one to love, and do what SHE want to do, not what other's think she should.<br />

It was in Ishgard, that Okiku met an interesting Miqo'te by the name of [[Ainle Goldpaw]], who, after a short discussion with her, invited her to join the 81st Foreign Levy of the Maelstrom. She accepted his offer, and brought Sami along with her to meet them formally and officially join them. Though a newcomer to their ranks, Okiku hopes to achieve much with them and it is here that her story begins.<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
Okiku is very gentle and extremely formal. That being said, it's hard to catch her with out a smile on her face. The simplest of things make her smile, a butterfly on a flower, the sea breeze, a certain Miqo'te and her damn ghosts. She reasonably polite and seems very unbiased about most things, the things she is heated on bring a colorful range of emotions to her often calm features. To many close to her she may seem quite innocent, though this is really because she dose not know how to handle flirtatiousness. Ki is still quite young at heart, having no memories she really only see's herself as a ten year old sometimes. This leads to her taking a childish stance on thing's she really cares about. She often feel's disconnected from others, her biggest fear being that she will never matter to any one, and as a result she give's of an aura (no pun intended) of loneliness. She love's making friends and meeting new people but she has a tough time letting people in. Despite all this, she's always happy and hardly ever let's thing's get her down. She's by no means stand offish, and occasionally, when comfortable, may crack a joke or be flirty. <br />
The darker sides of Ki's personality are only seen under the right circumstances or by the right people. Her fear of being alone, of never being important to those she cares so much about, of all ways being in the back ground. Her insecurities, she hates her scales, she's small and fear's shell always be seen as a child. And most of all, the weight she bares from the death of her loved ones, her never ending pain from the blame she feel's for their death's. <br />
Yet, for those few people who do see these sides of her, might also see her light, and the thing's that make her beautiful. Her smile, she's always smiling, for those around her and for herself. Her strength and loyalty to those she loves. The gentleness of her voice, and how much she genuinely care's about those around her.<br />

==Other Notes==<br />
===Religion=== <br />
Ki has never really been religious due to the fact she was never exposed to it until late in life. She dose believe in an after life but worships no deity. None the less she respects the religions of others. <br />
<br />
===Quirks===<br />
*Ki has a fascination with dancing, seeing as how she's performer. That being said, dancing is her weak point in her performance abilities. When feeling down, she could often be seen dancing alone, sometimes to no music, in an entirely clumsy and uncoordinated way. More often than not she bumps into things while doing this, she bruises quite easily. <br /><br />
*While not the most talented singer in all the realm, Ki enjoys humming to herself from time to time and is quite good at it. She can be found doing this while cooking/tinkering/bathing and dose not mind others listening to her. She often likes to make up languages while she sings, believing it makes her sound better. <br /><br />
*When bored, Okiku is likely to burst into dance. It's best not to question it. <br /><br />
*She likes to paint rainbows on her wrists and ankles. Again, it best left unquestioned. <br />
<br />
==Notable Quotes==<br />
*"War only exists because there is always some one to fight."<br />
*"I've seen men's passions destroy them, I've watched them become some one else in the name of something they love. I will not fall like them."<br />
*"Tikki, transorme mwah!"<br />
*"For it is her that I've run the lines of insanity for, and I shall do so again if need be." <br />
<br />
<br />
===Rumours===<br />
Okiku has no real or threatening rumors floating around her. She's quite careful and performs under the stage name "The Lonely Ghost." <br />
<br />
===Known Haunts===<br />
You might have run into or otherwise know Ki from:<br />
<br />
* Ishgard<br />
* The Beaches in Mist<br />
* The Golden Saucer (When she dose perform, it's usually here)<br />
* Camp Drybone<br />
<br />
===OOC Inspirations===<br />
Ki is based off of the old Japanese folk tale , Bancho Sarayashiki, a story about a girl thrown down a well because she refused to marry the lord of the manor she was a servant at. This Okiku died and became a ghost and was tormented in the afterlife. Thus, I wrote MY Okiku to be the Okiku who lived. The Okiku who, despite her past, moves on from such things and makes something of herself. Ki should be happy, find some one to love, and do what SHE want to do, not what other's think she should. <br />

==History== <br />
<br /> <center>{{redacted}}</center> <!-- Okiku was born in the spring, on a cold rainy night, after her twin Tamamin. The two were identical, and the moment they were placed next to each other the began holding hands. That is how Tamamin and Okiku would grow: Hand in hand. At the age of two, before they even really knew their parents, the two were sold off to Hemji house. This is because their parents were regrettably poor. Though the family who "adopted" them promised they would be raised as two beloved daughters, this was not the case. They were raised as servants, and though day to day treatment was not entirely unfair, they would be beaten should they make any mistakes. Their primary care taker was the maid, Ai. She was clumsy and young but took good care of the twins. She would help them with their day to day tasks and watch over them so that they would not get in trouble. <br />
The girls didn't receive much time to play, but it was Tamamin who came up with the idea of a game that later make up the majority of their favorite memories. They pretended they were in a fantasy land, that they had been captured by an evil pirate who locked them up in the small cellar they called their room. When ever they did chance the time outside, usually when Ai was washing the clothing, they would run through the small forest located near the mason and would pretend they had escaped, only to be captured again. They called themselves the "ghosts" of the mason. <br />
Their happy lives came to and end when there was to be a large celebration. The girls were tasked with setting the tables and Tamamin dropped a priceless plate, in front of the Lord and Lady's only son. He cornered the girls and told them that he would tell the Lord about the plate if Tamamin did not agree to marry him. The young girl , reluctantly , agreed out of fear. Overwhelmed, Okiku pushed him away from Tamamin, forcing him to fall into a vase which shattered and badly wounded him. As a result, she was thrown down a well and left to drown.--> <br /><br />
Okiku, who had been thrown in a well, was rescued by a passing circus. She had no memory of how or why she was in the well, only that she'd been forcibly pushed into it. Her memory loss was the result of a head injury , and multiple cases of loss of consciousness. She was remedied by a doctor who was also a tight rope walker for the circus. The Elezen's name was Francis, and he was the reason Okiku was alive. He bargained with the owner of the Circus to allow Okiku to stay, and in order to keep her around long her, taught her the art of tight rope and slack line walking. Ki adapted well to the former and often performed with Francis on stage. He became an older brother to her, and she a sister to him. Okiku was very obviously talented, and became a true member of the circus quite quickly. Despite her memory loss she adapted quite well, and was quick to make friends with her kindness and loving, adorable nature. Her first friend in the circus was Relinina Stow, and the two would eventually develop a strange affection for each other akin to love. Ki never could recall her past, and something deep in the back of her mind told her it was best not to. However, in the midst of one of her performances a small flash back came to her, and she fell from the tight rope, to the floor below. This resulted in an injury that, had it not been for Francis, would have prevented her from ever walking properly again. Francis was a genius, however, whose talents were wasted in a circus. He developed a device that, when places in and around Okiku's spine, would allow her to bend normally again, and eve walk the ropes. His hopes were that the device could eventually be surgically removed and Ki could walk with out it's help. This would take time. After this fall, Okiku would often have nightmare about the memory, though she never told any one this. When Ki was 14, her circus traveled to Eorzea, coming to rest outside of Gridania. Their plan had been to stay for a couple months, but it was during these months that the Calamity would occur, resulting in the end of the circus. Okiku managed to find Francis and stay by his side. The two kept to traveling and performing when they needed money. It was during these travels that Okiku met Sami, and the two quickly became friends. However, shortly after Francis became ill, and died swiftly with no apparent reason. Thus Okiku was left all alone, she stuck close to Sami' side and the two made a home for each other in Camp Drybone. From here time moved slowly. Okiku took up the art of lace work, which she became quite proficient at. <br /><br />
<br />
The girls' lives continued for several years with out incident. As Ki grew older she began to frequent the streets of Ishgard, and started performing more , while Sami took delving further into her research. The two however kept in contestant contact. It was in Ishgard, that Okiku met an interesting Miqo'te by the name of [[Ainle Goldpaw]], who, after a short discussion with her, invited her to join the 81st Foreign Levy of the Maelstrom. She accepted his offer, and brought Sami along with her to meet them formally and officially join them. Though a newcomer to their ranks, Okiku hopes to achieve much with them and it is here that her story begins.<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
Okiku is very gentle and extremely formal. That being said, it's hard to catch her with out a smile on her face. The simplest of things make her smile, a butterfly on a flower, the sea breeze, a certain Miqo'te and her damn ghosts.

==Other Notes==<br />
===Religion=== <br />
Ki has never really been religious due to the fact she was never exposed to it until late in life. She dose believe in an after life but worships no deity. None the less she respects the religions of others. <br />
<br />
===Quirks===<br />
*Ki has a fascination with dancing, seeing as how she's performer. That being said, dancing is her weak point in her performance abilities. When feeling down, she could often be seen dancing alone, sometimes to no music, in an entirely clumsy and uncoordinated way. More often than not she bumps into things while doing this, she bruises quite easily. <br /><br />
*While not the most talented singer in all the realm, Ki enjoys humming to herself from time to time and is quite good at it. She can be found doing this while cooking/tinkering/bathing and dose not mind others listening to her. She often likes to make up languages while she sings, believing it makes her sound better. <br /><br />
*When bored, Okiku is likely to burst into dance. It's best not to question it. <br /><br />
*She likes to paint rainbows on her wrists and ankles. Again, it best left unquestioned. <br />
<br />
==Notable Quotes==<br />
*"War only exists because there is always some one to fight."<br />
*"I've seen men's passions destroy them, I've watched them become some one else in the name of something they love. I will not fall like them."<br />
*"Tikki, transorme mwah!"<br />
*"For it is her that I've run the lines of insanity for, and I shall do so again if need be." <br />
<br />
<br />
===Rumours===<br />
Okiku has no real or threatening rumors floating around her. She's quite careful and performs under the stage name "The Lonely Ghost." <br />
<br />
===Known Haunts===<br />
You might have run into or otherwise know Ki from:<br />
<br />
* Ishgard<br />
* The Beaches in Mist<br />
* The Golden Saucer (When she dose perform, it's usually here)<br />
* Camp Drybone<br />
<br />
===OOC Inspirations===<br />
Ki is based off of the old Japanese folk tale , Bancho Sarayashiki, a story about a girl thrown down a well because she refused to marry the lord of the manor she was a servant at. This Okiku died and became a ghost and was tormented in the afterlife. Thus, I wrote MY Okiku to be the Okiku who lived. The Okiku who, despite her past, moves on from such things and makes something of herself. Ki should be happy, find some one to love, and do what SHE want to do, not what other's think she should. <br />

==History== <br />
<br /> <center>{{redacted}}</center> <!-- Okiku was born in the spring, on a cold rainy night, after her twin Tamamin. The two were identical, and the moment they were placed next to each other the began holding hands. That is how Tamamin and Okiku would grow: Hand in hand. At the age of two, before they even really knew their parents, the two were sold off to Hemji house. This is because their parents were regrettably poor. Though the family who "adopted" them promised they would be raised as two beloved daughters, this was not the case. They were raised as servants, and though day to day treatment was not entirely unfair, they would be beaten should they make any mistakes. Their primary care taker was the maid, Ai. She was clumsy and young but took good care of the twins. She would help them with their day to day tasks and watch over them so that they would not get in trouble. <br />
The girls didn't receive much time to play, but it was Tamamin who came up with the idea of a game that later make up the majority of their favorite memories. They pretended they were in a fantasy land, that they had been captured by an evil pirate who locked them up in the small cellar they called their room. When ever they did chance the time outside, usually when Ai was washing the clothing, they would run through the small forest located near the mason and would pretend they had escaped, only to be captured again. They called themselves the "ghosts" of the mason. <br />
Their happy lives came to and end when there was to be a large celebration. The girls were tasked with setting the tables and Tamamin dropped a priceless plate, in front of the Lord and Lady's only son. He cornered the girls and told them that he would tell the Lord about the plate if Tamamin did not agree to marry him. The young girl , reluctantly , agreed out of fear. Overwhelmed, Okiku pushed him away from Tamamin, forcing him to fall into a vase which shattered and badly wounded him. As a result, she was thrown down a well and left to drown.--> <br /><br />
Okiku, who had been thrown in a well, was rescued by a passing circus. She had no memory of how or why she was in the well, only that she'd been forcibly pushed into it. Her memory loss was the result of a head injury , and multiple cases of loss of consciousness. She was remedied by a doctor who was also a tight rope walker for the circus. The Elezen's name was Francis, and he was the reason Okiku was alive. He bargained with the owner of the Circus to allow Okiku to stay, and in order to keep her around long her, taught her the art of tight rope and slack line walking. Ki adapted well to the former and often performed with Francis on stage. He became an older brother to her, and she a sister to him. Okiku was very obviously talented, and became a true member of the circus quite quickly. Despite her memory loss she adapted quite well, and was quick to make friends with her kindness and loving, adorable nature. Her first friend in the circus was Relinina Stow, and the two would eventually develop a strange affection for each other akin to love. Ki never could recall her past, and something deep in the back of her mind told her it was best not to. However, in the midst of one of her performances a small flash back came to her, and she fell from the tight rope, to the floor below. This resulted in an injury that, had it not been for Francis, would have prevented her from ever walking properly again. Francis was a genius, however, whose talents were wasted in a circus. He developed a device that, when places in and around Okiku's spine, would allow her to bend normally again, and eve walk the ropes. His hopes were that the device could eventually be surgically removed and Ki could walk with out it's help. This would take time. After this fall, Okiku would often have nightmare about the memory, though she never told any one this. When Ki was 14, her circus traveled to Eorzea, coming to rest outside of Gridania. Their plan had been to stay for a couple months, but it was during these months that the Calamity would occur, resulting in the end of the circus. Okiku managed to find Francis and stay by his side. The two kept to traveling and performing when they needed money. It was during these travels that Okiku met Sami, and the two quickly became friends. However, shortly after Francis became ill, and died swiftly with no apparent reason. Thus Okiku was left all alone, she stuck close to Sami' side and the two made a home for each other in Camp Drybone. From here time moved slowly. Okiku took up the art of lace work, which she became quite proficient at. <br /><br />
<br />
The girls' lives continued for several years with out incident. As Ki grew older she began to frequent the streets of Ishgard, and started performing more , while Sami took delving further into her research. The two however kept in contestant contact. It was in Ishgard, that Okiku met an interesting Miqo'te by the name of [[Ainle Goldpaw]], who, after a short discussion with her, invited her to join the 81st Foreign Levy of the Maelstrom. She accepted his offer, and brought Sami along with her to meet them formally and officially join them. Though a newcomer to their ranks, Okiku hopes to achieve much with them and it is here that her story begins.<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
Okiku is very gentle and extremely formal. That being said, it's hard to catch her with out a smile on her face. The simplest of things make her smile, a butterfly on a flower, the sea breeze, a certain Miqo'te and her damn ghosts. She reasonably polite and seems very unbiased about most things, the things she is heated on bring a colorful range of emotions to her often calm features. To many close to her she may seem quite innocent, though this is really because she dose not know how to handle flirtatiousness. Ki is still quite young at heart, having no memories she really only see's herself as a ten year old sometimes. This leads to her taking a childish stance on thing's she really cares about. She often feel's disconnected from others, her biggest fear being that she will never matter to any one, and as a result she give's of an aura (no pun intended) of loneliness. She love's making friends and meeting new people but she has a tough time letting people in. Despite all this, she's always happy and hardly ever let's thing's get her down. She's by no means stand offish, and occasionally, when comfortable, may crack a joke or be flirty. <br />
The darker sides of Ki's personality are only seen under the right circumstances or by the right people. Her fear of being alone, of never being important to those she cares so much about, of all ways being in the back ground. Her insecurities, she hates her scales, she's small and fear's shell always be seen as a child. And most of all, the weight she bares from the death of her loved ones, her never ending pain from the blame she feel's for their death's. <br />
Yet, for those few people who do see these sides of her, might also see her light, and the thing's that make her beautiful. Her smile, she's always smiling, for those around her and for herself. Her strength and loyalty to those she loves. The gentleness of her voice, and how much she genuinely care's about those around her.<br />
<br />

<center> <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font>'''.:[[Sami Molkoh]]:.''' </center><br />
Ki's first friend after the Calamity , Sami and Ki met each other while both in a time of need and quickly hit it off. The two shared a fire like personality and were drawn to each other because of this. Over time Ki began to understand her feelings for Sami were more than that of feelings of friendship, and she found herself falling for the Miqo'te. However out of respect for her friend who obviously did not share the feelings, she quickly locked them away were the eventually diminished into a small flame but never truly disappeared. Now the two find themselves as close as two friend can get, trusting their lives to each other. <br /><br />
<br />
<br />
<center> <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> <font style="color:#000000;" size="5">†</font>'''.:Francis Tomsonford:.'''</center><br />
The Elezen who saved Okiku from the well quickly became a brother like figure and parent at the same time. As both a performer and doctor of the circus she would eventually perform at, he was the one who healed her injuries, and brought her to love tight rope walking so much. 10 years older than her, Francis brought wisdom to Okiku's life. He introduced her to painting, and tinkering along side her many other hobbies. Though she never told him, Francis became the person Okiku would perform for time after time on stage. After a fall from the ropes that would have been the end of Shiki's career, he placed a small mechanism that would allow her to bend her back properly again. He believed that, in due time, he would be able to remove the device and she would no longer need it. However , he fell ill shortly after the Calamity, and 12 year old Okiku could do nothing but watch her dearest friend wither away and die. <br /><br />
<br />
<br />
<center> <font style="color:#F02311;" size="3">♥</font> <font style="color:#000000;" size="5">†</font>'''.: Relinina Stow:.'''</center><br />
The hyuran performer was captivated by Okiku the moment she was pulled from the well, being the one to first find Okiku in it. Five years older than Okiku, Relinina was careful to admit her affection for Okiku. However, Okiku, though young, found herself equality captivated by Relinia, and three years after meeting the two fell into a relationship. The two shared a short, whirl wind romance that never should have happened, and ended with Relinia's death in the Calamity. Despite the fact their relationship was riddled with flaws, Okiku still thinks fondly of Relinia, but understands that it would have never worked. <br /><br />

* Ishgard<br />
* The Beaches in Mist<br />
* The Golden Saucer (When she dose perform, it's usually here)<br />

<br />
===OOC Inspirations===<br />
Ki is based off of the old Japanese folk tale , Bancho Sarayashiki, a story about a girl thrown down a well because she refused to marry the lord of the manor she was a servant at. This Okiku died and became a ghost and was tormented in the afterlife. Thus, I wrote MY Okiku to be the Okiku who lived. The Okiku who, despite her past, moves on from such things and makes something of herself. Ki should be happy, find some one to love, and do what SHE want to do, not what other's think she should. <br />

==History== <br />
<br /> <center>{{redacted}}</center> <!-- Okiku was born in the spring, on a cold rainy night, after her twin Tamamin. The two were identical, and the moment they were placed next to each other the began holding hands. That is how Tamamin and Okiku would grow: Hand in hand. At the age of two, before they even really knew their parents, the two were sold off to Hemji house. This is because their parents were regrettably poor. Though the family who "adopted" them promised they would be raised as two beloved daughters, this was not the case. They were raised as servants, and though day to day treatment was not entirely unfair, they would be beaten should they make any mistakes. Their primary care taker was the maid, Ai. She was clumsy and young but took good care of the twins. She would help them with their day to day tasks and watch over them so that they would not get in trouble. <br />
The girls didn't receive much time to play, but it was Tamamin who came up with the idea of a game that later make up the majority of their favorite memories. They pretended they were in a fantasy land, that they had been captured by an evil pirate who locked them up in the small cellar they called their room. When ever they did chance the time outside, usually when Ai was washing the clothing, they would run through the small forest located near the mason and would pretend they had escaped, only to be captured again. They called themselves the "ghosts" of the mason. <br />
Their happy lives came to and end when there was to be a large celebration. The girls were tasked with setting the tables and Tamamin dropped a priceless plate, in front of the Lord and Lady's only son. He cornered the girls and told them that he would tell the Lord about the plate if Tamamin did not agree to marry him. The young girl , reluctantly , agreed out of fear. Overwhelmed, Okiku pushed him away from Tamamin, forcing him to fall into a vase which shattered and badly wounded him. As a result, she was thrown down a well and left to drown.--> <br /><br />
Okiku, who had been thrown in a well, was rescued by a passing circus. She had no memory of how or why she was in the well, only that she'd been forcibly pushed into it. Her memory loss was the result of a head injury , and multiple cases of loss of consciousness. She was remedied by a doctor who was also a tight rope walker for the circus. The Elezen's name was Francis, and he was the reason Okiku was alive. He bargained with the owner of the Circus to allow Okiku to stay, and in order to keep her around long her, taught her the art of tight rope and slack line walking. Ki adapted well to the former and often performed with Francis on stage. He became an older brother to her, and she a sister to him. Okiku was very obviously talented, and became a true member of the circus quite quickly. Despite her memory loss she adapted quite well, and was quick to make friends with her kindness and loving, adorable nature. Her first friend in the circus was Relinina Stow, and the two would eventually develop a strange affection for each other akin to love. Ki never could recall her past, and something deep in the back of her mind told her it was best not to. However, in the midst of one of her performances a small flash back came to her, and she fell from the tight rope, to the floor below. This resulted in an injury that, had it not been for Francis, would have prevented her from ever walking properly again. Francis was a genius, however, whose talents were wasted in a circus. He developed a device that, when places in and around Okiku's spine, would allow her to bend normally again, and eve walk the ropes. His hopes were that the device could eventually be surgically removed and Ki could walk with out it's help. This would take time. After this fall, Okiku would often have nightmare about the memory, though she never told any one this. When Ki was 14, her circus traveled to Eorzea, coming to rest outside of Gridania. Their plan had been to stay for a couple months, but it was during these months that the Calamity would occur, resulting in the end of the circus. Okiku managed to find Francis and stay by his side. The two kept to traveling and performing when they needed money. It was during these travels that Okiku met Sami, and the two quickly became friends. However, shortly after Francis became ill, and died swiftly with no apparent reason. Thus Okiku was left all alone, she stuck close to Sami' side and the two made a home for each other in Camp Drybone. From here time moved slowly. Okiku took up the art of lace work, which she became quite proficient at. <br /><br />
<br />
The girls' lives continued for several years with out incident. As Ki grew older she began to frequent the streets of Ishgard, and started performing more , while Sami took delving further into her research. The two however kept in contestant contact. It was in Ishgard, that Okiku met an interesting Miqo'te by the name of [[Ainle Goldpaw]], who, after a short discussion with her, invited her to join the 81st Foreign Levy of the Maelstrom. She accepted his offer, and brought Sami along with her to meet them formally and officially join them. Though a newcomer to their ranks, Okiku hopes to achieve much with them and it is here that her story begins.<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
Okiku is very gentle and extremely formal. That being said, it's hard to catch her with out a smile on her face. The simplest of things make her smile, a butterfly on a flower, the sea breeze, a certain Miqo'te and her damn ghosts. She reasonably polite and seems very unbiased about most things, the things she is heated on bring a colorful range of emotions to her often calm features. To many close to her she may seem quite innocent, though this is really because she dose not know how to handle flirtatiousness. Ki is still quite young at heart, having no memories she really only see's herself as a ten year old sometimes. This leads to her taking a childish stance on thing's she really cares about. She often feel's disconnected from others, her biggest fear being that she will never matter to any one, and as a result she give's of an aura (no pun intended) of loneliness. She love's making friends and meeting new people but she has a tough time letting people in. Despite all this, she's always happy and hardly ever let's thing's get her down. She's by no means stand offish, and occasionally, when comfortable, may crack a joke or be flirty. <br />
The darker sides of Ki's personality are only seen under the right circumstances or by the right people. Her fear of being alone, of never being important to those she cares so much about, of all ways being in the back ground. Her insecurities, she hates her scales, she's small and fear's shell always be seen as a child. And most of all, the weight she bares from the death of her loved ones, her never ending pain from the blame she feel's for their death's. <br />
Yet, for those few people who do see these sides of her, might also see her light, and the thing's that make her beautiful. Her smile, she's always smiling, for those around her and for herself. Her strength and loyalty to those she loves. The gentleness of her voice, and how much she genuinely care's about those around her.<br />
<br />

<center> <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font>'''.:[[Sami Molkoh]]:.''' </center><br />
Ki's first friend after the Calamity , Sami and Ki met each other while both in a time of need and quickly hit it off. The two shared a fire like personality and were drawn to each other because of this. Over time Ki began to understand her feelings for Sami were more than that of feelings of friendship, and she found herself falling for the Miqo'te. However out of respect for her friend who obviously did not share the feelings, she quickly locked them away were the eventually diminished into a small flame but never truly disappeared. Now the two find themselves as close as two friend can get, trusting their lives to each other. <br /><br />

<br />
<center> <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> <font style="color:#000000;" size="5">†</font>'''.:Francis Tomsonford:.'''</center><br />
The Elezen who saved Okiku from the well quickly became a brother like figure and parent at the same time. As both a performer and doctor of the circus she would eventually perform at, he was the one who healed her injuries, and brought her to love tight rope walking so much. 10 years older than her, Francis brought wisdom to Okiku's life. He introduced her to painting, and tinkering along side her many other hobbies. Though she never told him, Francis became the person Okiku would perform for time after time on stage. After a fall from the ropes that would have been the end of Shiki's career, he placed a small mechanism that would allow her to bend her back properly again. He believed that, in due time, he would be able to remove the device and she would no longer need it. However , he fell ill shortly after the Calamity, and 12 year old Okiku could do nothing but watch her dearest friend wither away and die. <br /><br />

<br />
<center> <font style="color:#F02311;" size="3">♥</font> <font style="color:#000000;" size="5">†</font>'''.: Relinina Stow:.'''</center><br />
The hyuran performer was captivated by Okiku the moment she was pulled from the well, being the one to first find Okiku in it. Five years older than Okiku, Relinina was careful to admit her affection for Okiku. However, Okiku, though young, found herself equality captivated by Relinia, and three years after meeting the two fell into a relationship. The two shared a short, whirl wind romance that never should have happened, and ended with Relinia's death in the Calamity. Despite the fact their relationship was riddled with flaws, Okiku still thinks fondly of Relinia, but understands that it would have never worked. <br /><br />

==Other Notes==<br />
===Religion=== <br />
Ki has never really been religious due to the fact she was never exposed to it until late in life. She dose believe in an after life but worships no deity. None the less she respects the religions of others. <br />
<br />
===Quirks===<br />
*Ki has a fascination with dancing, seeing as how she's performer. That being said, dancing is her weak point in her performance abilities. When feeling down, she could often be seen dancing alone, sometimes to no music, in an entirely clumsy and uncoordinated way. More often than not she bumps into things while doing this, she bruises quite easily. <br /><br />
*While not the most talented singer in all the realm, Ki enjoys humming to herself from time to time and is quite good at it. She can be found doing this while cooking/tinkering/bathing and dose not mind others listening to her. She often likes to make up languages while she sings, believing it makes her sound better. <br /><br />
*When bored, Okiku is likely to burst into dance. It's best not to question it. <br /><br />
*She likes to paint rainbows on her wrists and ankles. Again, it best left unquestioned. <br />
<br />
==Notable Quotes==<br />
*"War only exists because there is always some one to fight."<br />
*"I've seen men's passions destroy them, I've watched them become some one else in the name of something they love. I will not fall like them."<br />
*"Tikki, transorme mwah!"<br />
*"For it is her that I've run the lines of insanity for, and I shall do so again if need be." <br />
<br />
<br />
===Rumours===<br />
Okiku has no real or threatening rumors floating around her. She's quite careful and performs under the stage name "The Lonely Ghost." <br />
<br />
===Known Haunts===<br />
You might have run into or otherwise know Ki from:<br />
<br />
* Ishgard<br />
* The Beaches in Mist<br />
* The Golden Saucer (When she dose perform, it's usually here)<br />
* Camp Drybone<br />
<br />
===OOC Inspirations===<br />
Ki is based off of the old Japanese folk tale , Bancho Sarayashiki, a story about a girl thrown down a well because she refused to marry the lord of the manor she was a servant at. This Okiku died and became a ghost and was tormented in the afterlife. Thus, I wrote MY Okiku to be the Okiku who lived. The Okiku who, despite her past, moves on from such things and makes something of herself. Ki should be happy, find some one to love, and do what SHE want to do, not what other's think she should. <br />

He bargained with the owner of the Circus to allow Okiku to stay, and in order to keep her around long her, taught her the art of tight rope and slack line walking.

Their plan had been to stay for a couple months, but it was during these months that the Calamity would occur, resulting in the end of the circus. Okiku managed to find Francis and stay by his side. The two kept to traveling and performing when they needed money. It was during these travels that Okiku met Sami, and the two quickly became friends. However, shortly after Francis became ill, and died swiftly with no apparent reason. Thus Okiku was left all alone, she stuck close to Sami' side and the two made a home for each other in Camp Drybone. From here time moved slowly. Okiku took up the art of lace work, which she became quite proficient at. <br /><br />
<br />
The girls' lives continued for several years with out incident. As Ki grew older she began to frequent the streets of Ishgard, and started performing more , while Sami took delving further into her research. The two however kept in contestant contact. It was in Ishgard, that Okiku met an interesting Miqo'te by the name of [[Ainle Goldpaw]], who, after a short discussion with her, invited her to join the 81st Foreign Levy of the Maelstrom. She accepted his offer, and brought Sami along with her to meet them formally and officially join them. Though a newcomer to their ranks, Okiku hopes to achieve much with them and it is here that her story begins.<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
Despite Okiku's rough past, Ki grew up happy and loving. She developed a very mother like a nurturing personality. She would be the first to attempt to cheer some one up should she find them sad. She is witty and playful,and surprisingly,unpredictable. She loves delicate things like flowers , dresses and make up, but enjoys darker-viewed things like snakes, spiders, and leather clothing. Ki is a light hearted and happy individual. She enjoys making witty comments, thrives in friendly competition and enjoys the company of cats above all else. She tends to laugh at jokes for longer than others, and if she finds them funny enough, will remember them at some random moment and laugh again. She often comes of as anxious or shy , but once she warms up to people she can be a great friend. She is most comfortable around her close friend Sami, and at these times she can be seen making many puns and occasionally an innuendo or two. In her spare time she might be seen attempting and old trick, singing, or drawing as those are her favorite hobbies. Though she comes off as girly she's not afraid to get her hands dirty. In fact her hand's are not delicate, and upon closer inspection bear many scars. Though she might not show it, and would never admit to it, Ki is self conscious of her appearance, but mainly her scales. Having no memory of growing up around other Au Ra, her scales were always pointed out as foreign. Despite the fact a few have complimented them, she would prefer not to show them, and often attempts to hide them, except when performing were she has little choice but to reveal them.Ki has a lonely air about her, even when surrounded by people. It is as though a piece of her is missing. She is by no means depressed or unhappy, but she has never felt whole. She's taken to playing classical music when she feels especially lonely.<br />

==Other Notes==<br />
===Religion=== <br />
Ki has never really been religious due to the fact she was never exposed to it until late in life. She dose believe in an after life but worships no deity. None the less she respects the religions of others. <br />
<br />
===Quirks===<br />
*Ki has a fascination with dancing, seeing as how she's performer. That being said, dancing is her weak point in her performance abilities. When feeling down, she could often be seen dancing alone, sometimes to no music, in an entirely clumsy and uncoordinated way. More often than not she bumps into things while doing this, she bruises quite easily. <br /><br />
*While not the most talented singer in all the realm, Ki enjoys humming to herself from time to time and is quite good at it. She can be found doing this while cooking/tinkering/bathing and dose not mind others listening to her. She often likes to make up languages while she sings, believing it makes her sound better. <br /><br />
*When bored, Okiku is likely to burst into dance. It's best not to question it. <br /><br />
*She likes to paint rainbows on her wrists and ankles. Again, it best left unquestioned. <br />
<br />
==Notable Quotes==<br />
*"War only exists because there is always some one to fight."<br />
*"I've seen men's passions destroy them, I've watched them become some one else in the name of something they love. I will not fall like them."<br />
*"Tikki, transorme mwah!"<br />
*"For it is her that I've run the lines of insanity for, and I shall do so again if need be." <br />
<br />
<br />
===Rumours===<br />
Okiku has no real or threatening rumors floating around her. She's quite careful and performs under the stage name "The Lonely Ghost." <br />
<br />
===Known Haunts===<br />
You might have run into or otherwise know Ki from:<br />
<br />
* Ishgard<br />
* The Beaches in Mist<br />
* The Golden Saucer (When she dose perform, it's usually here)<br />
* Camp Drybone<br />
<br />
===OOC Inspirations===<br />
Ki is based off of the old Japanese folk tale , Bancho Sarayashiki, a story about a girl thrown down a well because she refused to marry the lord of the manor she was a servant at. This Okiku died and became a ghost and was tormented in the afterlife. Thus, I wrote MY Okiku to be the Okiku who lived. The Okiku who, despite her past, moves on from such things and makes something of herself. Ki should be happy, find some one to love, and do what SHE want to do, not what other's think she should. <br />

==History== <br />
<br /> <center>{{redacted}}</center> <!-- Okiku was born in the spring, on a cold rainy night, after her twin Tamamin. The two were identical, and the moment they were placed next to each other the began holding hands. That is how Tamamin and Okiku would grow: Hand in hand. At the age of two, before they even really knew their parents, the two were sold off to Hemji house. This is because their parents were regrettably poor. Though the family who "adopted" them promised they would be raised as two beloved daughters, this was not the case. They were raised as servants, and though day to day treatment was not entirely unfair, they would be beaten should they make any mistakes. Their primary care taker was the maid, Ai. She was clumsy and young but took good care of the twins. She would help them with their day to day tasks and watch over them so that they would not get in trouble. <br />
The girls didn't receive much time to play, but it was Tamamin who came up with the idea of a game that later make up the majority of their favorite memories. They pretended they were in a fantasy land, that they had been captured by an evil pirate who locked them up in the small cellar they called their room. When ever they did chance the time outside, usually when Ai was washing the clothing, they would run through the small forest located near the mason and would pretend they had escaped, only to be captured again. They called themselves the "ghosts" of the mason. <br />
Their happy lives came to and end when there was to be a large celebration. The girls were tasked with setting the tables and Tamamin dropped a priceless plate, in front of the Lord and Lady's only son. He cornered the girls and told them that he would tell the Lord about the plate if Tamamin did not agree to marry him. The young girl , reluctantly , agreed out of fear. Overwhelmed, Okiku pushed him away from Tamamin, forcing him to fall into a vase which shattered and badly wounded him. As a result, she was thrown down a well and left to drown.--> <br /><br />
Okiku, who had been thrown in a well, was rescued by a passing circus. She had no memory of how or why she was in the well, only that she'd been forcibly pushed into it. Her memory loss was the result of a head injury , and multiple cases of loss of consciousness. She was remedied by a doctor who was also a tight rope walker for the circus. The Elezen's name was Francis, and he was the reason Okiku was alive. He bargained with the owner of the Circus to allow Okiku to stay, and in order to keep her around long her, taught her the art of tight rope and slack line walking. Ki adapted well to the former and often performed with Francis on stage. He became an older brother to her, and she a sister to him. Okiku was very obviously talented, and became a true member of the circus quite quickly. Despite her memory loss she adapted quite well, and was quick to make friends with her kindness and loving, adorable nature. Her first friend in the circus was Relinina Stow, and the two would eventually develop a strange affection for each other akin to love. Ki never could recall her past, and something deep in the back of her mind told her it was best not to. However, in the midst of one of her performances a small flash back came to her, and she fell from the tight rope, to the floor below. This resulted in an injury that, had it not been for Francis, would have prevented her from ever walking properly again. Francis was a genius, however, whose talents were wasted in a circus. He developed a device that, when places in and around Okiku's spine, would allow her to bend normally again, and eve walk the ropes. His hopes were that the device could eventually be surgically removed and Ki could walk with out it's help. This would take time. After this fall, Okiku would often have nightmare about the memory, though she never told any one this. When Ki was 14, her circus traveled to Eorzea, coming to rest outside of Gridania. Their plan had been to stay for a couple months, but it was during these months that the Calamity would occur, resulting in the end of the circus. Okiku managed to find Francis and stay by his side. The two kept to traveling and performing when they needed money. It was during these travels that Okiku met Sami, and the two quickly became friends. However, shortly after Francis became ill, and died swiftly with no apparent reason. Thus Okiku was left all alone, she stuck close to Sami' side and the two made a home for each other in Camp Drybone. From here time moved slowly. Okiku took up the art of lace work, which she became quite proficient at. <br /><br />
<br />
The girls' lives continued for several years with out incident. As Ki grew older she began to frequent the streets of Ishgard, and started performing more , while Sami took delving further into her research. The two however kept in contestant contact. It was in Ishgard, that Okiku met an interesting Miqo'te by the name of [[Ainle Goldpaw]], who, after a short discussion with her, invited her to join the 81st Foreign Levy of the Maelstrom. She accepted his offer, and brought Sami along with her to meet them formally and officially join them. Though a newcomer to their ranks, Okiku hopes to achieve much with them and it is here that her story begins.<br />

==Other Notes==<br />
===Religion=== <br />
Ki has never really been religious due to the fact she was never exposed to it until late in life. She dose believe in an after life but worships no deity. None the less she respects the religions of others. <br />
<br />
===Quirks===<br />
*Ki has a fascination with dancing, seeing as how she's performer. That being said, dancing is her weak point in her performance abilities. When feeling down, she could often be seen dancing alone, sometimes to no music, in an entirely clumsy and uncoordinated way. More often than not she bumps into things while doing this, she bruises quite easily. <br /><br />
*While not the most talented singer in all the realm, Ki enjoys humming to herself from time to time and is quite good at it. She can be found doing this while cooking/tinkering/bathing and dose not mind others listening to her. She often likes to make up languages while she sings, believing it makes her sound better. <br /><br />
*When bored, Okiku is likely to burst into dance. It's best not to question it. <br /><br />
*She likes to paint rainbows on her wrists and ankles. Again, it best left unquestioned. <br />
<br />
==Notable Quotes==<br />
*"War only exists because there is always some one to fight."<br />
*"I've seen men's passions destroy them, I've watched them become some one else in the name of something they love. I will not fall like them."<br />
*"Tikki, transorme mwah!"<br />
*"For it is her that I've run the lines of insanity for, and I shall do so again if need be." <br />
<br />
<br />
===Rumours===<br />
Okiku has no real or threatening rumors floating around her. She's quite careful and performs under the stage name "The Lonely Ghost." <br />
<br />
===Known Haunts===<br />
You might have run into or otherwise know Ki from:<br />
<br />
* Ishgard<br />
* The Beaches in Mist<br />
* The Golden Saucer (When she dose perform, it's usually here)<br />
* Camp Drybone<br />
<br />
===OOC Inspirations===<br />
Ki is based off of the old Japanese folk tale , Bancho Sarayashiki, a story about a girl thrown down a well because she refused to marry the lord of the manor she was a servant at. This Okiku died and became a ghost and was tormented in the afterlife. Thus, I wrote MY Okiku to be the Okiku who lived. The Okiku who, despite her past, moves on from such things and makes something of herself. Ki should be happy, find some one to love, and do what SHE want to do, not what other's think she should. <br />
<br />
==References==<br />
Go read Bancho Sarayashiki .<br />

<br />
==History==<br />
<center>'''<big>Past</big>'''</center><br /><br />
<br />
Sami - whose real name is S'amie Malkoh - had a relatively straightforward past until she reached the age of ten, at which point she met the travelling scholars Aya Numi and Agian. Unfamiliar with the land, the silver-haired woman asked Sami's aid in navigating it, and the two grew relatively close over the course of the following year. <br /><br />
<br />
At the point of Aya's departure, Sami begged to come along, and Aya agreed to give her a trial, much to Agian's annoyance. Thus began the travels of the three across the land of Eorzea, where Sami was more than happy to help Aya in her studies, despite not knowing the full extent of just what she was researching. Aya helped Sami to train in the art of conjury, which the young Miqo'te found a love for very quickly. Impressed by the young Miqo'te's aptitude for the art, Aya gifted Sami with a silky green scarf that had been accentuated by a smooth green jewel. This scarf seemed to greatly help Sami's skills, so she wore it with pride in their travels. <br /><br />
<br />
They picked up another Miqo'te not long after (by the name of W'khael Tia), who Sami immediately became good friends with. Despite being from another clan, Khael and Sami had a surprising amount in common, especially when it came to training, learning, and mercilessly pestering Agian. The four - three, with the begrudging Agian - became a rather close-knit group over the next few years... or so Sami thought. <br /><br />
<br />
Just barely prior to the Calamity, Sami felt a disturbance in the surrounding nature, and followed it to where she witnessed something that she has never revealed to another soul. Newly terrified, the 18-year-old Miqo'te ran, and hid in the vastness of the Thanalan desert, doing her best to avoid being found by the Amal'jaa, the animals, and most importantly, her own 'friends'. As she ran, though, she very soon became aware of something looming in the sky: Dalamud, as it made its fateful fall. <br /><br />
<br />
Dazed, confused, and injured, Sami made no attempts to find her group in the following days, assuming them all to be dead. She instead holed up in a cavern, using conjury to heal her wounds slowly and as well as she could. Thanks to the power of the scarf that Aya had once given her - the only thing about the young woman that Sami now trusted - she was able to heal herself completely, with perhaps only a few small scars to show for her troubles. <br /><br />
<br />
After healing her own wounds, Sami very quickly realized that she couldn't live in the cave alone for much longer, especially with such little available food and water. Wandering out every night, she eventually found her way back to Camp Drybone, where she came across somebody who she had found a friend in not too long past: Okiku Sarayashiki. The young Au Ra, having just lost a close friend, was more than happy to have the company, and the two set up in Camp Drybone, where Sami offered her conjury services to those passing through so that she may continue her research without the aid of her previous group. Okiku, at the age of 14, mistook the name 'S'amie Malkoh' to be the easier 'Sami Molkoh', and would always spell it as such, leading the Miqo'te herself to begin using the nickname as her real name. <br /><br />
<br />
The two lived in Drybone for years, until 19-year-old Okiku finally was able to get back into Ishgard again, where she now regularly travels. Occasionally, Sami will come with her on these trips, but never for more than a few days at a Time. Otherwise, she'll stay at Drybone on her own, where she continues her research to this day, on arcanima, Eorzea, and a much more unexpected topic... <br /><br />
<br />
<center><big>'''Present'''</big></center><br /><br />
Recently, Sami and Okiku have joined the Maelstrom's 81st Levy. Sami, after settling in, has started lending her conjury abilities to the group in what ways she can. <br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
Sami is a very peppy, well-spoken Miqo'te with a penchant for conjury, though one wouldn't know it by looking at her. She's often very friendly to anybody - anybody - who she meets, though a bit of careful attention would reveal that she's not so quick to trust anybody.<br /><br />
<br />
Sami has a great love for knowledge and, specifically, the summoning of carbuncles; she's likely to spend more Time talking to an arcanist's pet than the actual person. In fact, animals typically garner her interest very quickly, as does any part of nature itself.<br /><br />
<br />
Despite her happy-go-lucky nature, Sami isn't interested only in the power of friendship and love; if you were to bring up something regarding the dark arts, she'd be completely rapt, though it's obvious that she herself has no wish to dabble in such arts.<br /><br />
<br />
Because of her neve rending search for knowledge, though, she's quick to disregard danger, so watch out; following her anywhere will often end in some sort of encounter, or at the very least, a few annoyed squirrels.<br />

With the former only barely recovered from injuries and the latter having lost a friend during Dalamud's Fall, they formed a quick friendship, and both ran to recover in the nearby Camp Drybone. Over the next five years, the two have aided each other in their own endeavors. Currently, Okiku travels back and forth between Camp Drybone and Ishgard, where she has decided to settle her primary residence. Sami will come with her on occasion, but only very rarely. <br />
<br /><br />

The two quickly became good friends - or at least, Sami thought so - as Sami helped Aya to better understand the layout of the land. Not long after this, Sami tagged along on Aya's adventures, following her all over Eorzea... until an unforseen circumstance led to the young Miqo'te fleeing her friend in fear. Since then, Sami has not heard one word from the silver-haired young woman, and despite feigning sadness at the loss of such a friend, one could very easily catch the glimmer of relief in Sami's eyes if they were to ask about the woman's disappearance. <br />
<br /><br />
*<font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> '''(PC) W'khael Tia:''' Khael joined Aya Numi's travelling research group not very long after Sami did. As he was the exact same age as her - and, not to mention, also a Miqo'te - the two became uncannily good friends. Khael was very protective of the young girl, especially around anything that he deemed dangerous, and he was more than happy to assist her conjury training with his own personal training. Bearing the same eyes and russet fur as Sami, the two could easily have been mistaken for siblings, had they not been from different tribes. When he was lost during the Calamity, he was the only one over whom Sami legitimately cried. <br />
<br /><br />
*<font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font> '''(Non-PC) Agian:''' A thaumaturge of unknown power, Agian's past is just as much a mystery as Aya's. Bearing a strikingly similar color of silver hair to the woman, however, Sami had always assumed the two to be related. Agian always seemed to be bothered by Sami's presence, though he tolerated her... until Aya accepted her into the group. He then treated her as though she wasn't really there, though her innocence did seem to break through to him on one or two occasions, as he would occasionally step in to correct her conjury forms. His whereabouts and status are, as with Aya and W'khael, unknown, and he is assumed to be deceased. ((And before you ask, yes, his name stems from the mistyping of the word 'again', but we're going to ignore that.)) <br />
==Characteristics==<br />

** '''Nameday''': Unknown <br />

** '''Sexuality''': Unknown<br />
* '''Alignment''': Lawful Good<br />

* '''Eyes''': Silvery blue<br />
* '''Skin''': Light tan; despite residing dominantly in Thanalan, she is indoors 99% of the Time. <br />

<br />
===Likes===<br />
* Animals <br />
* Nature <br />
* Knowledge <br />
* Friendly people <br />
* Arcanima <br />
* Honesty, above all else <br />
<br />
===Dislikes===<br />
* Dishonesty <br />
* People who talk down to her <br />
* Anyone/thing that hurts nature <br />
* Overly strict commands/rules <br />
* Those who indulge in the Darkness <br />
* Yarzons, oh gods why do those exist <br />
<br />
===Strengths===<br />
* Her conjury<br />

<br />
===Weaknesses===<br />
* Her dislike of anything ''too'' strict<br />

* Her innocent demeanor; she is not overly naive, but her hope that all people have good in them can easily lead her into dangerous situations<br />
<br />
<br />
==Other Notes==<br />
===Religion===<br />
Sami is not very religious herself, though a few questions would reveal that she very much believes in the existence of gods, as well as good and evil. She has no main patron deity who she prays to above all else, though Okiku's travels around Ishgard have left her referencing Halone more often than the other gods. <br />
===Quirks===<br />
* If you have a pet, arcanima or otherwise, she'll probably greet it before she greets you. <br />
* She gets annoyed if somebody blatantly disregards nature, so watch out if you smash into something (She'll probably easily borrow a certain character's line of 'Don't step on the flowers!'). <br />
* Despite being mainly a conjurer, if you were to offer information about any sort of dark art, expect her to become immediately interested. She herself wouldn't dabble in such arts, but will lap up any information given on it. <br />
<br />
===Known Haunts===<br />
You might have run into or otherwise know Sami from:<br />
<br />
* The Coffer and Coffin<br />
* Anywhere around Drybone (both the Camp and the area) <br />
* Ul'dah, and particularly The Quicksand (what better place to find new stories?) <br />

==OOC Notes==<br />
I play on Balmung as Sami Molkoh (an accidental typo that I'm too lazy to change, so I worked it into her storyline), and am on quite often. If you ever want to roleplay for any reason - perhaps you have some dark knowledge that you're dying to share, or you just need another friend - feel free to message me! <br />
As it stands, Sami is not currently looking for a relationship (but we'll see what happens, now that she's rping with more people!) and I don't ERP with her, so apologies for that. But if it's for anything else, message me any Time at all!</div>Ki-chanhttps://wiki.ffxiv-roleplayers.com/index.php?title=Sami_Molkoh&diff=168096Sami Molkoh2016-04-04T11:14:22Z<p>Ki-chan: MEANIE</p>

His whereabouts and status are, as with Aya and W'khael, unknown, and he is assumed to be deceased. ((And before you ask, yes, his name stems from the mistyping of the word 'again', but we're going to ignore that.)) <br />

==OOC Notes==<br />
I play on Balmung as Sami Molkoh (an accidental typo that I'm too lazy to change, so I worked it into her storyline), and am on quite often. If you ever want to roleplay for any reason - perhaps you have some dark knowledge that you're dying to share, or you just need another friend - feel free to message me! <br />
As it stands, Sami is not currently looking for a relationship (but we'll see what happens, now that she's rping with more people!) and I don't ERP with her, so apologies for that. But if it's for anything else, message me any Time at all!</div>Ki-chanhttps://wiki.ffxiv-roleplayers.com/index.php?title=Sami_Molkoh&diff=168095Sami Molkoh2016-04-04T11:13:35Z<p>Ki-chan: FUCK YOU</p>

IM TIRED AS FUCKING HELL. ''''<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<center>'''<big>Past</big>'''</center><br /><br />
<br />
Sami - whose real name is S'amie Malkoh - had a relatively straightforward past until she reached the age of ten, at which point she met the travelling scholars Aya Numi and Agian. Unfamiliar with the land, the silver-haired woman asked Sami's aid in navigating it, and the two grew relatively close over the course of the following year. <br /><br />
<br />
At the point of Aya's departure, Sami begged to come along, and Aya agreed to give her a trial, much to Agian's annoyance. Thus began the travels of the three across the land of Eorzea, where Sami was more than happy to help Aya in her studies, despite not knowing the full extent of just what she was researching. Aya helped Sami to train in the art of conjury, which the young Miqo'te found a love for very quickly. Impressed by the young Miqo'te's aptitude for the art, Aya gifted Sami with a silky green scarf that had been accentuated by a smooth green jewel. This scarf seemed to greatly help Sami's skills, so she wore it with pride in their travels. <br /><br />
<br />
They picked up another Miqo'te not long after (by the name of W'khael Tia), who Sami immediately became good friends with. Despite being from another clan, Khael and Sami had a surprising amount in common, especially when it came to training, learning, and mercilessly pestering Agian. The four - three, with the begrudging Agian - became a rather close-knit group over the next few years... or so Sami thought. <br /><br />
<br />
Just barely prior to the Calamity, Sami felt a disturbance in the surrounding nature, and followed it to where she witnessed something that she has never revealed to another soul. Newly terrified, the 18-year-old Miqo'te ran, and hid in the vastness of the Thanalan desert, doing her best to avoid being found by the Amal'jaa, the animals, and most importantly, her own 'friends'. As she ran, though, she very soon became aware of something looming in the sky: Dalamud, as it made its fateful fall. <br /><br />
<br />
Dazed, confused, and injured, Sami made no attempts to find her group in the following days, assuming them all to be dead. She instead holed up in a cavern, using conjury to heal her wounds slowly and as well as she could. Thanks to the power of the scarf that Aya had once given her - the only thing about the young woman that Sami now trusted - she was able to heal herself completely, with perhaps only a few small scars to show for her troubles. <br /><br />
<br />
After healing her own wounds, Sami very quickly realized that she couldn't live in the cave alone for much longer, especially with such little available food and water. Wandering out every night, she eventually found her way back to Camp Drybone, where she came across somebody who she had found a friend in not too long past: Okiku Sarayashiki. The young Au Ra, having just lost a close friend, was more than happy to have the company, and the two set up in Camp Drybone, where Sami offered her conjury services to those passing through so that she may continue her research without the aid of her previous group. Okiku, at the age of 14, mistook the name 'S'amie Malkoh' to be the easier 'Sami Molkoh', and would always spell it as such, leading the Miqo'te herself to begin using the nickname as her real name. <br /><br />
<br />
The two lived in Drybone for years, until 19-year-old Okiku finally was able to get back into Ishgard again, where she now regularly travels. Occasionally, Sami will come with her on these trips, but never for more than a few days at a Time. Otherwise, she'll stay at Drybone on her own, where she continues her research to this day, on arcanima, Eorzea, and a much more unexpected topic... <br /><br />
<br />
<center><big>'''Present'''</big></center><br /><br />
Recently, Sami and Okiku have joined the Maelstrom's 81st Levy. Sami, after settling in, has started lending her conjury abilities to the group in what ways she can. <br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
Sami is a very peppy, well-spoken Miqo'te with a penchant for conjury, though one wouldn't know it by looking at her. She's often very friendly to anybody - anybody - who she meets, though a bit of careful attention would reveal that she's not so quick to trust anybody.<br /><br />
<br />
Sami has a great love for knowledge and, specifically, the summoning of carbuncles; she's likely to spend more Time talking to an arcanist's pet than the actual person. In fact, animals typically garner her interest very quickly, as does any part of nature itself.<br /><br />
<br />
Despite her happy-go-lucky nature, Sami isn't interested only in the power of friendship and love; if you were to bring up something regarding the dark arts, she'd be completely rapt, though it's obvious that she herself has no wish to dabble in such arts.<br /><br />
<br />
Because of her neve rending search for knowledge, though, she's quick to disregard danger, so watch out; following her anywhere will often end in some sort of encounter, or at the very least, a few annoyed squirrels.<br />

*<font style="color:#33ff22;" size="3">●</font> '''(PC) [[Okiku Sarayashiki]]:''' After the Calamity, Sami soon ran into the young Au Ra, Okiku. With the former only barely recovered from injuries and the latter having lost a friend during Dalamud's Fall, they formed a quick friendship, and both ran to recover in the nearby Camp Drybone. Over the next five years, the two have aided each other in their own endeavors. Currently, Okiku travels back and forth between Camp Drybone and Ishgard, where she has decided to settle her primary residence. Sami will come with her on occasion, but only very rarely. <br />
<br /><br />
*<font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font> '''(PC) [[Aya Numi]]:''' At the age of 10, Sami first met the magenta-eyed scholar Aya Numi. The two quickly became good friends - or at least, Sami thought so - as Sami helped Aya to better understand the layout of the land. Not long after this, Sami tagged along on Aya's adventures, following her all over Eorzea... until an unforseen circumstance led to the young Miqo'te fleeing her friend in fear. Since then, Sami has not heard one word from the silver-haired young woman, and despite feigning sadness at the loss of such a friend, one could very easily catch the glimmer of relief in Sami's eyes if they were to ask about the woman's disappearance. <br />
<br /><br />
*<font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> '''(PC) W'khael Tia:''' Khael joined Aya Numi's travelling research group not very long after Sami did. As he was the exact same age as her - and, not to mention, also a Miqo'te - the two became uncannily good friends. Khael was very protective of the young girl, especially around anything that he deemed dangerous, and he was more than happy to assist her conjury training with his own personal training. Bearing the same eyes and russet fur as Sami, the two could easily have been mistaken for siblings, had they not been from different tribes. When he was lost during the Calamity, he was the only one over whom Sami legitimately cried. <br />
<br /><br />
*<font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font> '''(Non-PC) Agian:''' A thaumaturge of unknown power, Agian's past is just as much a mystery as Aya's. Bearing a strikingly similar color of silver hair to the woman, however, Sami had always assumed the two to be related. Agian always seemed to be bothered by Sami's presence, though he tolerated her... until Aya accepted her into the group. He then treated her as though she wasn't really there, though her innocence did seem to break through to him on one or two occasions, as he would occasionally step in to correct her conjury forms. His whereabouts and status are, as with Aya and W'khael, unknown, and he is assumed to be deceased. ((And before you ask, yes, his name stems from the mistyping of the word 'again', but we're going to ignore that.)) <br />

==History== <br />
<br /> <center>{{redacted}}</center> <!-- Okiku was born in the spring, on a cold rainy night, after her twin Tamamin. The two were identical, and the moment they were placed next to each other the began holding hands. That is how Tamamin and Okiku would grow: Hand in hand. At the age of two, before they even really knew their parents, the two were sold off to Hemji house. This is because their parents were regrettably poor. Though the family who "adopted" them promised they would be raised as two beloved daughters, this was not the case. They were raised as servants, and though day to day treatment was not entirely unfair, they would be beaten should they make any mistakes. Their primary care taker was the maid, Ai. She was clumsy and young but took good care of the twins. She would help them with their day to day tasks and watch over them so that they would not get in trouble. <br />
The girls didn't receive much time to play, but it was Tamamin who came up with the idea of a game that later make up the majority of their favorite memories. They pretended they were in a fantasy land, that they had been captured by an evil pirate who locked them up in the small cellar they called their room. When ever they did chance the time outside, usually when Ai was washing the clothing, they would run through the small forest located near the mason and would pretend they had escaped, only to be captured again. They called themselves the "ghosts" of the mason. <br />
Their happy lives came to and end when there was to be a large celebration. The girls were tasked with setting the tables and Tamamin dropped a priceless plate, in front of the Lord and Lady's only son. He cornered the girls and told them that he would tell the Lord about the plate if Tamamin did not agree to marry him. The young girl , reluctantly , agreed out of fear. Overwhelmed, Okiku pushed him away from Tamamin, forcing him to fall into a vase which shattered and badly wounded him. As a result, she was thrown down a well and left to drown.--> <br /><br />
Okiku, who had been thrown in a well, was rescued by a passing circus. She had no memory of how or why she was in the well, only that she'd been forcibly pushed into it. Her memory loss was the result of a head injury , and multiple cases of loss of consciousness. She was remedied by a doctor who was also a tight rope walker for the circus. The Elezen's name was Francis, and he was the reason Okiku was alive. He bargained with the owner of the Circus to allow Okiku to stay, and in order to keep her around long her, taught her the art of tight rope and slack line walking. Ki adapted well to the former and often performed with Francis on stage. He became an older brother to her, and she a sister to him. Okiku was very obviously talented, and became a true member of the circus quite quickly. Despite her memory loss she adapted quite well, and was quick to make friends with her kindness and loving, adorable nature. Her first friend in the circus was Relinina Stow, and the two would eventually develop a strange affection for each other akin to love. Ki never could recall her past, and something deep in the back of her mind told her it was best not to. However, in the midst of one of her performances a small flash back came to her, and she fell from the tight rope, to the floor below. This resulted in an injury that, had it not been for Francis, would have prevented her from ever walking properly again. Francis was a genius, however, whose talents were wasted in a circus. He developed a device that, when places in and around Okiku's spine, would allow her to bend normally again, and eve walk the ropes. His hopes were that the device could eventually be surgically removed and Ki could walk with out it's help. This would take time. After this fall, Okiku would often have nightmare about the memory, though she never told any one this. When Ki was 14, her circus traveled to Eorzea, coming to rest outside of Gridania. Their plan had been to stay for a couple months, but it was during these months that the Calamity would occur, resulting in the end of the circus. Okiku managed to find Francis and stay by his side. The two kept to traveling and performing when they needed money. It was during these travels that Okiku met Sami, and the two quickly became friends. However, shortly after Francis became ill, and died swiftly with no apparent reason. Thus Okiku was left all alone, she stuck close to Sami' side and the two made a home for each other in Camp Drybone. From here time moved slowly. Okiku took up the art of lace work, which she became quite proficient at. <br /><br />
<br />
The girls' lives continued for several years with out incident. As Ki grew older she began to frequent the streets of Ishgard, and started performing more , while Sami took delving further into her research. The two however kept in contestant contact. It was in Ishgard, that Okiku met an interesting Miqo'te by the name of [[Ainle Goldpaw]], who, after a short discussion with her, invited her to join the 81st Foreign Levy of the Maelstrom. She accepted his offer, and brought Sami along with her to meet them formally and officially join them. Though a newcomer to their ranks, Okiku hopes to achieve much with them and it is here that her story begins.<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
Despite Okiku's rough past, Ki grew up happy and loving. She developed a very mother like a nurturing personality. She would be the first to attempt to cheer some one up should she find them sad. She is witty and playful,and surprisingly,unpredictable. She loves delicate things like flowers , dresses and make up, but enjoys darker-viewed things like snakes, spiders, and leather clothing. Ki is a light hearted and happy individual. She enjoys making witty comments, thrives in friendly competition and enjoys the company of cats above all else. She tends to laugh at jokes for longer than others, and if she finds them funny enough, will remember them at some random moment and laugh again. She often comes of as anxious or shy , but once she warms up to people she can be a great friend. She is most comfortable around her close friend Sami, and at these times she can be seen making many puns and occasionally an innuendo or two. In her spare time she might be seen attempting and old trick, singing, or drawing as those are her favorite hobbies. Though she comes off as girly she's not afraid to get her hands dirty. In fact her hand's are not delicate, and upon closer inspection bear many scars. Though she might not show it, and would never admit to it, Ki is self conscious of her appearance, but mainly her scales. Having no memory of growing up around other Au Ra, her scales were always pointed out as foreign. Despite the fact a few have complimented them, she would prefer not to show them, and often attempts to hide them, except when performing were she has little choice but to reveal them.<br />
<br />

Ki's first friend after the Calamity , Sami and Ki met each other while both in a time of need and quickly hit it off. The two shared a fire like personality and were drawn to each other because of this. Over time Ki began to understand her feelings for Sami were more than that of feelings of friendship, and she found herself falling for the Miqo'te. However out of respect for her friend who obviously did not share the feelings, she quickly locked them away were the eventually diminished into a small flame but never truly disappeared. Now the two find themselves as close as two friend can get, trusting their lives to each other. <br /><br />

<br />
<center> <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> <font style="color:#000000;" size="5">†</font>'''.:Francis Tomsonford:.'''</center><br />
The Elezen who saved Okiku from the well quickly became a brother like figure and parent at the same time. As both a performer and doctor of the circus she would eventually perform at, he was the one who healed her injuries, and brought her to love tight rope walking so much. 10 years older than her, Francis brought wisdom to Okiku's life. He introduced her to painting, and tinkering along side her many other hobbies. Though she never told him, Francis became the person Okiku would perform for time after time on stage. After a fall from the ropes that would have been the end of Shiki's career, he placed a small mechanism that would allow her to bend her back properly again. He believed that, in due time, he would be able to remove the device and she would no longer need it. However , he fell ill shortly after the Calamity, and 12 year old Okiku could do nothing but watch her dearest friend wither away and die. <br /><br />
<br />
<br />
<center> <font style="color:#F02311;" size="3">♥</font> <font style="color:#000000;" size="5">†</font>'''.: Relinina Stow:.'''</center><br />
The hyuran performer was captivated by Okiku the moment she was pulled from the well, being the one to first find Okiku in it. Five years older than Okiku, Relinina was careful to admit her affection for Okiku. However, Okiku, though young, found herself equality captivated by Relinia, and three years after meeting the two fell into a relationship. The two shared a short, whirl wind romance that never should have happened, and ended with Relinia's death in the Calamity. Despite the fact their relationship was riddled with flaws, Okiku still thinks fondly of Relinia, but understands that it would have never worked. <br /><br />

==Other Notes==<br />

Ki has never really been religious due to the fact she was never exposed to it until late in life. She dose believe in an after life but worships no deity. None the less she respects the religions of others. <br />
<br />
===Quirks===<br />
*Ki has a fascination with dancing, seeing as how she's performer. That being said, dancing is her weak point in her performance abilities. When feeling down, she could often be seen dancing alone, sometimes to no music, in an entirely clumsy and uncoordinated way. More often than not she bumps into things while doing this, she bruises quite easily. <br /><br />
*While not the most talented singer in all the realm, Ki enjoys humming to herself from time to time and is quite good at it. She can be found doing this while cooking/tinkering/bathing and dose not mind others listening to her. She often likes to make up languages while she sings, believing it makes her sound better. <br /><br />
*When bored, Okiku is likely to burst into dance. It's best not to question it. <br /><br />
*She likes to paint rainbows on her wrists and ankles. Again, it best left unquestioned. <br />
<br />

<br />
* Ishgard<br />
* The Beaches in Mist<br />

<br />
===OOC Inspirations===<br />
Ki is based off of the old Japanese folk tale , Bancho Sarayashiki, a story about a girl thrown down a well because she refused to marry the lord of the manor she was a servant at. This Okiku died and became a ghost and was tormented in the afterlife. Thus, I wrote MY Okiku to be the Okiku who lived. The Okiku who, despite her past, moves on from such things and makes something of herself. Ki should be happy, find some one to love, and do what SHE want to do, not what other's think she should. <br />

==History== <br />
<br /> <center>{{redacted}}</center> <!-- Okiku was born in the spring, on a cold rainy night, after her twin Tamamin. The two were identical, and the moment they were placed next to each other the began holding hands. That is how Tamamin and Okiku would grow: Hand in hand. At the age of two, before they even really knew their parents, the two were sold off to Hemji house. This is because their parents were regrettably poor. Though the family who "adopted" them promised they would be raised as two beloved daughters, this was not the case. They were raised as servants, and though day to day treatment was not entirely unfair, they would be beaten should they make any mistakes. Their primary care taker was the maid, Ai. She was clumsy and young but took good care of the twins. She would help them with their day to day tasks and watch over them so that they would not get in trouble. <br />
The girls didn't receive much time to play, but it was Tamamin who came up with the idea of a game that later make up the majority of their favorite memories. They pretended they were in a fantasy land, that they had been captured by an evil pirate who locked them up in the small cellar they called their room. When ever they did chance the time outside, usually when Ai was washing the clothing, they would run through the small forest located near the mason and would pretend they had escaped, only to be captured again. They called themselves the "ghosts" of the mason. <br />
Their happy lives came to and end when there was to be a large celebration. The girls were tasked with setting the tables and Tamamin dropped a priceless plate, in front of the Lord and Lady's only son. He cornered the girls and told them that he would tell the Lord about the plate if Tamamin did not agree to marry him. The young girl , reluctantly , agreed out of fear. Overwhelmed, Okiku pushed him away from Tamamin, forcing him to fall into a vase which shattered and badly wounded him. As a result, she was thrown down a well and left to drown.--> <br /><br />
Okiku, who had been thrown in a well, was rescued by a passing circus. She had no memory of how or why she was in the well, only that she'd been forcibly pushed into it. Her memory loss was the result of a head injury , and multiple cases of loss of consciousness. She was remedied by a doctor who was also a tight rope walker for the circus. The Elezen's name was Francis, and he was the reason Okiku was alive. He bargained with the owner of the Circus to allow Okiku to stay, and in order to keep her around long her, taught her the art of tight rope and slack line walking. Ki adapted well to the former and often performed with Francis on stage. He became an older brother to her, and she a sister to him. Okiku was very obviously talented, and became a true member of the circus quite quickly. Despite her memory loss she adapted quite well, and was quick to make friends with her kindness and loving, adorable nature. Her first friend in the circus was Relinina Stow, and the two would eventually develop a strange affection for each other akin to love. Ki never could recall her past, and something deep in the back of her mind told her it was best not to. However, in the midst of one of her performances a small flash back came to her, and she fell from the tight rope, to the floor below. This resulted in an injury that, had it not been for Francis, would have prevented her from ever walking properly again. Francis was a genius, however, whose talents were wasted in a circus. He developed a device that, when places in and around Okiku's spine, would allow her to bend normally again, and eve walk the ropes. His hopes were that the device could eventually be surgically removed and Ki could walk with out it's help. This would take time. After this fall, Okiku would often have nightmare about the memory, though she never told any one this. When Ki was 14, her circus traveled to Eorzea, coming to rest outside of Gridania. Their plan had been to stay for a couple months, but it was during these months that the Calamity would occur, resulting in the end of the circus. Okiku managed to find Francis and stay by his side. The two kept to traveling and performing when they needed money. It was during these travels that Okiku met Sami, and the two quickly became friends. However, shortly after Francis became ill, and died swiftly with no apparent reason. Thus Okiku was left all alone, she stuck close to Sami' side and the two made a home for each other in Camp Drybone. From here time moved slowly. Okiku took up the art of lace work, which she became quite proficient at. <br /><br />
<br />
The girls' lives continued for several years with out incident. As Ki grew older she began to frequent the streets of Ishgard, and started performing more , while Sami took delving further into her research. The two however kept in contestant contact. It was in Ishgard, that Okiku met an interesting Miqo'te by the name of [[Ainle Goldpaw]], who, after a short discussion with her, invited her to join the 81st Foreign Levy of the Maelstrom. She accepted his offer, and brought Sami along with her to meet them formally and officially join them. Though a newcomer to their ranks, Okiku hopes to achieve much with them and it is here that her story begins.<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
Despite Okiku's rough past, Ki grew up happy and loving. She developed a very mother like a nurturing personality. She would be the first to attempt to cheer some one up should she find them sad. She is witty and playful,and surprisingly,unpredictable. She loves delicate things like flowers , dresses and make up, but enjoys darker-viewed things like snakes, spiders, and leather clothing. Ki is a light hearted and happy individual. She enjoys making witty comments, thrives in friendly competition and enjoys the company of cats above all else. She tends to laugh at jokes for longer than others, and if she finds them funny enough, will remember them at some random moment and laugh again. She often comes of as anxious or shy , but once she warms up to people she can be a great friend. She is most comfortable around her close friend Sami, and at these times she can be seen making many puns and occasionally an innuendo or two. In her spare time she might be seen attempting and old trick, singing, or drawing as those are her favorite hobbies. Though she comes off as girly she's not afraid to get her hands dirty. In fact her hand's are not delicate, and upon closer inspection bear many scars. Though she might not show it, and would never admit to it, Ki is self conscious of her appearance, but mainly her scales. Having no memory of growing up around other Au Ra, her scales were always pointed out as foreign. Despite the fact a few have complimented them, she would prefer not to show them, and often attempts to hide them, except when performing were she has little choice but to reveal them.<br />
<br />
==Relationships==<br />
<center> <font style="color:#F02311;" size="3">♥</font> Romantic Interest <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> Sexual Desire <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> Platonic Love <font style="color:#33ff22;" size="3">●</font> Good Standing <font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font> Neutral Standing <font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font> Poor Standing <font style="color:#000000;" size="5">†</font> Deceased </center><br /><br />
<center> <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font>'''.:[[Sami Molkoh]]:.''' </center><br />
Ki's first friend after the Calamity , Sami and Ki met each other while both in a time of need and quickly hit it off. The two shared a fire like personality and were drawn to each other because of this. Over time Ki began to understand her feelings for Sami were more than that of feelings of friendship, and she found herself falling for the Miqo'te. However out of respect for her friend who obviously did not share the feelings, she quickly locked them away were the eventually diminished into a small flame but never truly disappeared. Now the two find themselves as close as two friend can get, trusting their lives to each other. <br /><br />
<br />
<br />
<center> <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> <font style="color:#000000;" size="5">†</font>'''.:Francis Tomsonford:.'''</center><br />
The Elezen who saved Okiku from the well quickly became a brother like figure and parent at the same time. As both a performer and doctor of the circus she would eventually perform at, he was the one who healed her injuries, and brought her to love tight rope walking so much. 10 years older than her, Francis brought wisdom to Okiku's life. He introduced her to painting, and tinkering along side her many other hobbies. Though she never told him, Francis became the person Okiku would perform for time after time on stage. After a fall from the ropes that would have been the end of Shiki's career, he placed a small mechanism that would allow her to bend her back properly again. He believed that, in due time, he would be able to remove the device and she would no longer need it. However , he fell ill shortly after the Calamity, and 12 year old Okiku could do nothing but watch her dearest friend wither away and die. <br /><br />
<br />
<br />
<center> <font style="color:#F02311;" size="3">♥</font> <font style="color:#000000;" size="5">†</font>'''.: Relinina Stow:.'''</center><br />
The hyuran performer was captivated by Okiku the moment she was pulled from the well, being the one to first find Okiku in it. Five years older than Okiku, Relinina was careful to admit her affection for Okiku. However, Okiku, though young, found herself equality captivated by Relinia, and three years after meeting the two fell into a relationship. The two shared a short, whirl wind romance that never should have happened, and ended with Relinia's death in the Calamity. Despite the fact their relationship was riddled with flaws, Okiku still thinks fondly of Relinia, but understands that it would have never worked. <br /><br />

==History== <br />
<br /> <center>{{redacted}}</center> <!-- Okiku was born in the spring, on a cold rainy night, after her twin Tamamin. The two were identical, and the moment they were placed next to each other the began holding hands. That is how Tamamin and Okiku would grow: Hand in hand. At the age of two, before they even really knew their parents, the two were sold off to Hemji house. This is because their parents were regrettably poor. Though the family who "adopted" them promised they would be raised as two beloved daughters, this was not the case. They were raised as servants, and though day to day treatment was not entirely unfair, they would be beaten should they make any mistakes. Their primary care taker was the maid, Ai. She was clumsy and young but took good care of the twins. She would help them with their day to day tasks and watch over them so that they would not get in trouble. <br />
The girls didn't receive much time to play, but it was Tamamin who came up with the idea of a game that later make up the majority of their favorite memories. They pretended they were in a fantasy land, that they had been captured by an evil pirate who locked them up in the small cellar they called their room. When ever they did chance the time outside, usually when Ai was washing the clothing, they would run through the small forest located near the mason and would pretend they had escaped, only to be captured again. They called themselves the "ghosts" of the mason. <br />
Their happy lives came to and end when there was to be a large celebration. The girls were tasked with setting the tables and Tamamin dropped a priceless plate, in front of the Lord and Lady's only son. He cornered the girls and told them that he would tell the Lord about the plate if Tamamin did not agree to marry him. The young girl , reluctantly , agreed out of fear. Overwhelmed, Okiku pushed him away from Tamamin, forcing him to fall into a vase which shattered and badly wounded him. As a result, she was thrown down a well and left to drown.--> <br /><br />
Okiku, who had been thrown in a well, was rescued by a passing circus. She had no memory of how or why she was in the well, only that she'd been forcibly pushed into it. Her memory loss was the result of a head injury , and multiple cases of loss of consciousness. She was remedied by a doctor who was also a tight rope walker for the circus. The Elezen's name was Francis, and he was the reason Okiku was alive. He bargained with the owner of the Circus to allow Okiku to stay, and in order to keep her around long her, taught her the art of tight rope and slack line walking. Ki adapted well to the former and often performed with Francis on stage. He became an older brother to her, and she a sister to him. Okiku was very obviously talented, and became a true member of the circus quite quickly. Despite her memory loss she adapted quite well, and was quick to make friends with her kindness and loving, adorable nature. Her first friend in the circus was Relinina Stow, and the two would eventually develop a strange affection for each other akin to love. Ki never could recall her past, and something deep in the back of her mind told her it was best not to. However, in the midst of one of her performances a small flash back came to her, and she fell from the tight rope, to the floor below. This resulted in an injury that, had it not been for Francis, would have prevented her from ever walking properly again. Francis was a genius, however, whose talents were wasted in a circus. He developed a device that, when places in and around Okiku's spine, would allow her to bend normally again, and eve walk the ropes. His hopes were that the device could eventually be surgically removed and Ki could walk with out it's help. This would take time. After this fall, Okiku would often have nightmare about the memory, though she never told any one this. When Ki was 14, her circus traveled to Eorzea, coming to rest outside of Gridania. Their plan had been to stay for a couple months, but it was during these months that the Calamity would occur, resulting in the end of the circus. Okiku managed to find Francis and stay by his side. The two kept to traveling and performing when they needed money. It was during these travels that Okiku met Sami, and the two quickly became friends. However, shortly after Francis became ill, and died swiftly with no apparent reason. Thus Okiku was left all alone, she stuck close to Sami' side and the two made a home for each other in Camp Drybone. From here time moved slowly. Okiku took up the art of lace work, which she became quite proficient at. <br /><br />
<br />
The girls' lives continued for several years with out incident. As Ki grew older she began to frequent the streets of Ishgard, and started performing more , while Sami took delving further into her research. The two however kept in contestant contact. It was in Ishgard, that Okiku met an interesting Miqo'te by the name of [[Ainle Goldpaw]], who, after a short discussion with her, invited her to join the 81st Foreign Levy of the Maelstrom. She accepted his offer, and brought Sami along with her to meet them formally and officially join them. Though a newcomer to their ranks, Okiku hopes to achieve much with them and it is here that her story begins.<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
Despite Okiku's rough past, Ki grew up happy and loving. She developed a very mother like a nurturing personality. She would be the first to attempt to cheer some one up should she find them sad. She is witty and playful,and surprisingly,unpredictable. She loves delicate things like flowers , dresses and make up, but enjoys darker-viewed things like snakes, spiders, and leather clothing. Ki is a light hearted and happy individual. She enjoys making witty comments, thrives in friendly competition and enjoys the company of cats above all else. She tends to laugh at jokes for longer than others, and if she finds them funny enough, will remember them at some random moment and laugh again. She often comes of as anxious or shy , but once she warms up to people she can be a great friend. She is most comfortable around her close friend Sami, and at these times she can be seen making many puns and occasionally an innuendo or two. In her spare time she might be seen attempting and old trick, singing, or drawing as those are her favorite hobbies. Though she comes off as girly she's not afraid to get her hands dirty. In fact her hand's are not delicate, and upon closer inspection bear many scars. Though she might not show it, and would never admit to it, Ki is self conscious of her appearance, but mainly her scales. Having no memory of growing up around other Au Ra, her scales were always pointed out as foreign. Despite the fact a few have complimented them, she would prefer not to show them, and often attempts to hide them, except when performing were she has little choice but to reveal them.<br />

Ki's first friend after the Calamity , Sami and Ki met each other while both in a time of need and quickly hit it off. The two shared a fire like personality and were drawn to each other because of this. Over time Ki began to understand her feelings for Sami were more than that of feelings of friendship, and she found herself falling for the Miqo'te. However out of respect for her friend who obviously did not share the feelings, she quickly locked them away were the eventually diminished into a small flame but never truly disappeared.

The Elezen who saved Okiku from the well quickly became a brother like figure and parent at the same time. As both a performer and doctor of the circus she would eventually perform at, he was the one who healed her injuries, and brought her to love tight rope walking so much. 10 years older than her, Francis brought wisdom to Okiku's life. He introduced her to painting, and tinkering along side her many other hobbies. Though she never told him, Francis became the person Okiku would perform for time after time on stage. After a fall from the ropes that would have been the end of Shiki's career, he placed a small mechanism that would allow her to bend her back properly again. He believed that, in due time, he would be able to remove the device and she would no longer need it. However , he fell ill shortly after the Calamity, and 12 year old Okiku could do nothing but watch her dearest friend wither away and die. <br /><br />

The hyuran performer was captivated by Okiku the moment she was pulled from the well, being the one to first find Okiku in it. Five years older than Okiku, Relinina was careful to admit her affection for Okiku. However, Okiku, though young, found herself equality captivated by Relinia, and three years after meeting the two fell into a relationship. The two shared a short, whirl wind romance that never should have happened, and ended with Relinia's death in the Calamity. Despite the fact their relationship was riddled with flaws, Okiku still thinks fondly of Relinia, but understands that it would have never worked. <br /><br />

==Other Notes==<br />
===Religion=== <br />
Ki has never really been religious due to the fact she was never exposed to it until late in life. She dose believe in an after life but worships no deity. None the less she respects the religions of others. <br />
<br />
===Quirks===<br />
*Ki has a fascination with dancing, seeing as how she's performer. That being said, dancing is her weak point in her performance abilities. When feeling down, she could often be seen dancing alone, sometimes to no music, in an entirely clumsy and uncoordinated way. More often than not she bumps into things while doing this, she bruises quite easily. <br /><br />
*While not the most talented singer in all the realm, Ki enjoys humming to herself from time to time and is quite good at it. She can be found doing this while cooking/tinkering/bathing and dose not mind others listening to her. She often likes to make up languages while she sings, believing it makes her sound better. <br /><br />
*When bored, Okiku is likely to burst into dance. It's best not to question it. <br /><br />
*She likes to paint rainbows on her wrists and ankles. Again, it best left unquestioned. <br />
<br />
==Notable Quotes==<br />
*"War only exists because there is always some one to fight."<br />
*"I've seen men's passions destroy them, I've watched them become some one else in the name of something they love. I will not fall like them."<br />
*"Tikki, transorme mwah!"<br />
*"For it is her that I've run the lines of insanity for, and I shall do so again if need be." <br />
<br />
<br />
===Rumours===<br />
Okiku has no real or threatening rumors floating around her. She's quite careful and performs under the stage name "The Lonely Ghost." <br />
<br />
===Known Haunts===<br />
You might have run into or otherwise know Ki from:<br />
<br />
* Ishgard<br />
* The Beaches in Mist<br />
* The Golden Saucer (When she dose perform, it's usually here)<br />
* Camp Drybone<br />
<br />
===OOC Inspirations===<br />
Ki is based off of the old Japanese folk tale , Bancho Sarayashiki, a story about a girl thrown down a well because she refused to marry the lord of the manor she was a servant at. This Okiku died and became a ghost and was tormented in the afterlife. Thus, I wrote MY Okiku to be the Okiku who lived. The Okiku who, despite her past, moves on from such things and makes something of herself. Ki should be happy, find some one to love, and do what SHE want to do, not what other's think she should. <br />

The Elezen who saved Okiku from the well quickly became a brother like figure and parent at the same time. As both a performer and doctor of the circus she would eventually perform at, he was the one who healed her injuries, and brought her to love tight rope walking so much. 10 years older than her, Francis brought wisdom to Okiku's life. He introduced her to painting, and tinkering along side her many other hobbies. Though she never told him, Francis became the person Okiku would perform for time after time on stage. After a fall from the ropes that would have been the end of Shiki's career, he placed a small mechanism that would allow her to bend her back properly again. He believed that, in due time, he would be able to remove the device and she would no longer need it.

==Other Notes==<br />
===Religion=== <br />
Ki has never really been religious due to the fact she was never exposed to it until late in life. She dose believe in an after life but worships no deity. None the less she respects the religions of others. <br />
<br />
===Quirks===<br />
*Ki has a fascination with dancing, seeing as how she's performer. That being said, dancing is her weak point in her performance abilities. When feeling down, she could often be seen dancing alone, sometimes to no music, in an entirely clumsy and uncoordinated way. More often than not she bumps into things while doing this, she bruises quite easily. <br /><br />
*While not the most talented singer in all the realm, Ki enjoys humming to herself from time to time and is quite good at it. She can be found doing this while cooking/tinkering/bathing and dose not mind others listening to her. She often likes to make up languages while she sings, believing it makes her sound better. <br /><br />
*When bored, Okiku is likely to burst into dance. It's best not to question it. <br /><br />
*She likes to paint rainbows on her wrists and ankles. Again, it best left unquestioned. <br />
<br />
==Notable Quotes==<br />
*"War only exists because there is always some one to fight."<br />
*"I've seen men's passions destroy them, I've watched them become some one else in the name of something they love. I will not fall like them."<br />
*"Tikki, transorme mwah!"<br />
*"For it is her that I've run the lines of insanity for, and I shall do so again if need be." <br />
<br />
<br />
===Rumours===<br />
Okiku has no real or threatening rumors floating around her. She's quite careful and performs under the stage name "The Lonely Ghost." <br />
<br />
===Known Haunts===<br />
You might have run into or otherwise know Ki from:<br />
<br />
* Ishgard<br />
* The Beaches in Mist<br />
* The Golden Saucer (When she dose perform, it's usually here)<br />
* Camp Drybone<br />
<br />
===OOC Inspirations===<br />
Ki is based off of the old Japanese folk tale , Bancho Sarayashiki, a story about a girl thrown down a well because she refused to marry the lord of the manor she was a servant at. This Okiku died and became a ghost and was tormented in the afterlife. Thus, I wrote MY Okiku to be the Okiku who lived. The Okiku who, despite her past, moves on from such things and makes something of herself. Ki should be happy, find some one to love, and do what SHE want to do, not what other's think she should. <br />

==History== <br />
<br /> <center>{{redacted}}</center> <!-- Okiku was born in the spring, on a cold rainy night, after her twin Tamamin. The two were identical, and the moment they were placed next to each other the began holding hands. That is how Tamamin and Okiku would grow: Hand in hand. At the age of two, before they even really knew their parents, the two were sold off to Hemji house. This is because their parents were regrettably poor. Though the family who "adopted" them promised they would be raised as two beloved daughters, this was not the case. They were raised as servants, and though day to day treatment was not entirely unfair, they would be beaten should they make any mistakes. Their primary care taker was the maid, Ai. She was clumsy and young but took good care of the twins. She would help them with their day to day tasks and watch over them so that they would not get in trouble. <br />
The girls didn't receive much time to play, but it was Tamamin who came up with the idea of a game that later make up the majority of their favorite memories. They pretended they were in a fantasy land, that they had been captured by an evil pirate who locked them up in the small cellar they called their room. When ever they did chance the time outside, usually when Ai was washing the clothing, they would run through the small forest located near the mason and would pretend they had escaped, only to be captured again. They called themselves the "ghosts" of the mason. <br />
Their happy lives came to and end when there was to be a large celebration. The girls were tasked with setting the tables and Tamamin dropped a priceless plate, in front of the Lord and Lady's only son. He cornered the girls and told them that he would tell the Lord about the plate if Tamamin did not agree to marry him. The young girl , reluctantly , agreed out of fear. Overwhelmed, Okiku pushed him away from Tamamin, forcing him to fall into a vase which shattered and badly wounded him. As a result, she was thrown down a well and left to drown.--> <br /><br />
Okiku, who had been thrown in a well, was rescued by a passing circus. She had no memory of how or why she was in the well, only that she'd been forcibly pushed into it. Her memory loss was the result of a head injury , and multiple cases of loss of consciousness. She was remedied by a doctor who was also a tight rope walker for the circus. The Elezen's name was Francis, and he was the reason Okiku was alive. He bargained with the owner of the Circus to allow Okiku to stay, and in order to keep her around long her, taught her the art of tight rope and slack line walking. Ki adapted well to the former and often performed with Francis on stage. He became an older brother to her, and she a sister to him. Okiku was very obviously talented, and became a true member of the circus quite quickly. Despite her memory loss she adapted quite well, and was quick to make friends with her kindness and loving, adorable nature. Her first friend in the circus was Relinina Stow, and the two would eventually develop a strange affection for each other akin to love. Ki never could recall her past, and something deep in the back of her mind told her it was best not to. However, in the midst of one of her performances a small flash back came to her, and she fell from the tight rope, to the floor below. This resulted in an injury that, had it not been for Francis, would have prevented her from ever walking properly again. Francis was a genius, however, whose talents were wasted in a circus. He developed a device that, when places in and around Okiku's spine, would allow her to bend normally again, and eve walk the ropes. His hopes were that the device could eventually be surgically removed and Ki could walk with out it's help. This would take time. After this fall, Okiku would often have nightmare about the memory, though she never told any one this. When Ki was 14, her circus traveled to Eorzea, coming to rest outside of Gridania. Their plan had been to stay for a couple months, but it was during these months that the Calamity would occur, resulting in the end of the circus. Okiku managed to find Francis and stay by his side. The two kept to traveling and performing when they needed money. It was during these travels that Okiku met Sami, and the two quickly became friends. However, shortly after Francis became ill, and died swiftly with no apparent reason. Thus Okiku was left all alone, she stuck close to Sami' side and the two made a home for each other in Camp Drybone. From here time moved slowly. Okiku took up the art of lace work, which she became quite proficient at. <br /><br />
<br />
The girls' lives continued for several years with out incident. As Ki grew older she began to frequent the streets of Ishgard, and started performing more , while Sami took delving further into her research. The two however kept in contestant contact. It was in Ishgard, that Okiku met an interesting Miqo'te by the name of [[Ainle Goldpaw]], who, after a short discussion with her, invited her to join the 81st Foreign Levy of the Maelstrom. She accepted his offer, and brought Sami along with her to meet them formally and officially join them. Though a newcomer to their ranks, Okiku hopes to achieve much with them and it is here that her story begins.<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
Despite Okiku's rough past, Ki grew up happy and loving. She developed a very mother like a nurturing personality. She would be the first to attempt to cheer some one up should she find them sad. She is witty and playful,and surprisingly,unpredictable. She loves delicate things like flowers , dresses and make up, but enjoys darker-viewed things like snakes, spiders, and leather clothing. Ki is a light hearted and happy individual. She enjoys making witty comments, thrives in friendly competition and enjoys the company of cats above all else. She tends to laugh at jokes for longer than others, and if she finds them funny enough, will remember them at some random moment and laugh again. She often comes of as anxious or shy , but once she warms up to people she can be a great friend. She is most comfortable around her close friend Sami, and at these times she can be seen making many puns and occasionally an innuendo or two. In her spare time she might be seen attempting and old trick, singing, or drawing as those are her favorite hobbies. Though she comes off as girly she's not afraid to get her hands dirty. In fact her hand's are not delicate, and upon closer inspection bear many scars. Though she might not show it, and would never admit to it, Ki is self conscious of her appearance, but mainly her scales. Having no memory of growing up around other Au Ra, her scales were always pointed out as foreign. Despite the fact a few have complimented them, she would prefer not to show them, and often attempts to hide them, except when performing were she has little choice but to reveal them.<br />

Ki has never really been religious due to the fact she was never exposed to it until late in life. She dose believe in an after life but worships no deity. None the less she respects the religions of others. <br />
<br />
===Quirks===<br />
*Ki has a fascination with dancing, seeing as how she's performer. That being said, dancing is her weak point in her performance abilities. When feeling down, she could often be seen dancing alone, sometimes to no music, in an entirely clumsy and uncoordinated way. More often than not she bumps into things while doing this, she bruises quite easily. <br /><br />
*While not the most talented singer in all the realm, Ki enjoys humming to herself from time to time and is quite good at it. She can be found doing this while cooking/tinkering/bathing and dose not mind others listening to her. She often likes to make up languages while she sings, believing it makes her sound better. <br /><br />
*When bored, Okiku is likely to burst into dance. It's best not to question it. <br /><br />
*She likes to paint rainbows on her wrists and ankles. Again, it best left unquestioned. <br />
<br />
==Notable Quotes==<br />
*"War only exists because there is always some one to fight."<br />
*"I've seen men's passions destroy them, I've watched them become some one else in the name of something they love. I will not fall like them."<br />
*"Tikki, transorme mwah!"<br />
*"For it is her that I've run the lines of insanity for, and I shall do so again if need be." <br />
<br />
<br />
===Rumours===<br />
Okiku has no real or threatening rumors floating around her. She's quite careful and performs under the stage name "The Lonely Ghost." <br />
<br />
===Known Haunts===<br />
You might have run into or otherwise know Ki from:<br />
<br />
* Ishgard<br />
* The Beaches in Mist<br />
* The Golden Saucer (When she dose perform, it's usually here)<br />
* Camp Drybone<br />
<br />
===OOC Inspirations===<br />
Ki is based off of the old Japanese folk tale , Bancho Sarayashiki, a story about a girl thrown down a well because she refused to marry the lord of the manor she was a servant at. This Okiku died and became a ghost and was tormented in the afterlife. Thus, I wrote MY Okiku to be the Okiku who lived. The Okiku who, despite her past, moves on from such things and makes something of herself. Ki should be happy, find some one to love, and do what SHE want to do, not what other's think she should. <br />

==History== <br />
<br /> <center>{{redacted}}</center> <!-- Okiku was born in the spring, on a cold rainy night, after her twin Tamamin. The two were identical, and the moment they were placed next to each other the began holding hands. That is how Tamamin and Okiku would grow: Hand in hand. At the age of two, before they even really knew their parents, the two were sold off to Hemji house. This is because their parents were regrettably poor. Though the family who "adopted" them promised they would be raised as two beloved daughters, this was not the case. They were raised as servants, and though day to day treatment was not entirely unfair, they would be beaten should they make any mistakes. Their primary care taker was the maid, Ai. She was clumsy and young but took good care of the twins. She would help them with their day to day tasks and watch over them so that they would not get in trouble. <br />
The girls didn't receive much time to play, but it was Tamamin who came up with the idea of a game that later make up the majority of their favorite memories. They pretended they were in a fantasy land, that they had been captured by an evil pirate who locked them up in the small cellar they called their room. When ever they did chance the time outside, usually when Ai was washing the clothing, they would run through the small forest located near the mason and would pretend they had escaped, only to be captured again. They called themselves the "ghosts" of the mason. <br />
Their happy lives came to and end when there was to be a large celebration. The girls were tasked with setting the tables and Tamamin dropped a priceless plate, in front of the Lord and Lady's only son. He cornered the girls and told them that he would tell the Lord about the plate if Tamamin did not agree to marry him. The young girl , reluctantly , agreed out of fear. Overwhelmed, Okiku pushed him away from Tamamin, forcing him to fall into a vase which shattered and badly wounded him. As a result, she was thrown down a well and left to drown.--> <br /><br />
Okiku, who had been thrown in a well, was rescued by a passing circus. She had no memory of how or why she was in the well, only that she'd been forcibly pushed into it. Her memory loss was the result of a head injury , and multiple cases of loss of consciousness. She was remedied by a doctor who was also a tight rope walker for the circus. The Elezen's name was Francis, and he was the reason Okiku was alive. He bargained with the owner of the Circus to allow Okiku to stay, and in order to keep her around long her, taught her the art of tight rope and slack line walking. Ki adapted well to the former and often performed with Francis on stage. He became an older brother to her, and she a sister to him. Okiku was very obviously talented, and became a true member of the circus quite quickly. Despite her memory loss she adapted quite well, and was quick to make friends with her kindness and loving, adorable nature. Her first friend in the circus was Relinina Stow, and the two would eventually develop a strange affection for each other akin to love. Ki never could recall her past, and something deep in the back of her mind told her it was best not to. However, in the midst of one of her performances a small flash back came to her, and she fell from the tight rope, to the floor below. This resulted in an injury that, had it not been for Francis, would have prevented her from ever walking properly again. Francis was a genius, however, whose talents were wasted in a circus. He developed a device that, when places in and around Okiku's spine, would allow her to bend normally again, and eve walk the ropes. His hopes were that the device could eventually be surgically removed and Ki could walk with out it's help. This would take time. After this fall, Okiku would often have nightmare about the memory, though she never told any one this. When Ki was 14, her circus traveled to Eorzea, coming to rest outside of Gridania. Their plan had been to stay for a couple months, but it was during these months that the Calamity would occur, resulting in the end of the circus. Okiku managed to find Francis and stay by his side. The two kept to traveling and performing when they needed money. It was during these travels that Okiku met Sami, and the two quickly became friends. However, shortly after Francis became ill, and died swiftly with no apparent reason. Thus Okiku was left all alone, she stuck close to Sami' side and the two made a home for each other in Camp Drybone. From here time moved slowly. Okiku took up the art of lace work, which she became quite proficient at. <br /><br />
<br />
The girls' lives continued for several years with out incident. As Ki grew older she began to frequent the streets of Ishgard, and started performing more , while Sami took delving further into her research. The two however kept in contestant contact. It was in Ishgard, that Okiku met an interesting Miqo'te by the name of [[Ainle Goldpaw]], who, after a short discussion with her, invited her to join the 81st Foreign Levy of the Maelstrom. She accepted his offer, and brought Sami along with her to meet them formally and officially join them. Though a newcomer to their ranks, Okiku hopes to achieve much with them and it is here that her story begins.<br />
<br />
==Personality==<br />
Despite Okiku's rough past, Ki grew up happy and loving. She developed a very mother like a nurturing personality. She would be the first to attempt to cheer some one up should she find them sad. She is witty and playful,and surprisingly,unpredictable. She loves delicate things like flowers , dresses and make up, but enjoys darker-viewed things like snakes, spiders, and leather clothing. Ki is a light hearted and happy individual. She enjoys making witty comments, thrives in friendly competition and enjoys the company of cats above all else. She tends to laugh at jokes for longer than others, and if she finds them funny enough, will remember them at some random moment and laugh again. She often comes of as anxious or shy , but once she warms up to people she can be a great friend. She is most comfortable around her close friend Sami, and at these times she can be seen making many puns and occasionally an innuendo or two. In her spare time she might be seen attempting and old trick, singing, or drawing as those are her favorite hobbies. Though she comes off as girly she's not afraid to get her hands dirty. In fact her hand's are not delicate, and upon closer inspection bear many scars. Though she might not show it, and would never admit to it, Ki is self conscious of her appearance, but mainly her scales. Having no memory of growing up around other Au Ra, her scales were always pointed out as foreign. Despite the fact a few have complimented them, she would prefer not to show them, and often attempts to hide them, except when performing were she has little choice but to reveal them. <br />

Ki's first friend after the Calamity , Sami and Ki met each other while both in a time of need and quickly hit it off. The two shared a fire like personality and were drawn to each other because of this. Over time Ki began to understand her feelings for Sami were more than that of feelings of friendship, and she found herself falling for the Miqo'te. However out of respect for her friend who obviously did not share the feelings, she quickly locked them away were the eventually diminished into a small flame but never truly disappeared. Now the two find themselves as close as two friend can get, trusting their lives to each other. <br /><br />

The Elezen who saved Okiku from the well quickly became a brother like figure and parent at the same time. As both a performer and doctor of the circus she would eventually perform at, he was the one who healed her injuries, and brought her to love tight rope walking so much. 10 years older than her, Francis brought wisdom to Okiku's life. He introduced her to painting, and tinkering along side her many other hobbies. Though she never told him, Francis became the person Okiku would perform for time after time on stage. After a fall from the ropes that would have been the end of Shiki's career, he placed a small mechanism that would allow her to bend her back properly again. He believed that, in due time, he would be able to remove the device and she would no longer need it. However , he fell ill shortly after the Calamity, and 12 year old Okiku could do nothing but watch her dearest friend wither away and die. <br /><br />

The hyuran performer was captivated by Okiku the moment she was pulled from the well, being the one to first find Okiku in it. Five years older than Okiku, Relinina was careful to admit her affection for Okiku. However, Okiku, though young, found herself equality captivated by Relinia, and three years after meeting the two fell into a relationship. The two shared a short, whirl wind romance that never should have happened, and ended with Relinia's death in the Calamity. Despite the fact their relationship was riddled with flaws, Okiku still thinks fondly of Relinia, but understands that it would have never worked. <br /><br />

He introduced her to painting, and tinkering along side her many other hobbies. Though she never told him, Francis became the person Okiku would perform for time after time on stage. After a fall from the ropes that would have been the end of Shiki's career, he placed a small mechanism that would allow her to bend her back properly again. He believed that, in due time, he would be able to remove the device and she would no longer need it. However , he fell ill shortly after the Calamity, and 12 year old Okiku could do nothing but watch her dearest friend wither away and die. <br /><br />

The hyuran performer was captivated by Okiku the moment she was pulled from the well, being the one to first find Okiku in it. Five years older than Okiku, Relinina was careful to admit her affection for Okiku. However, Okiku, though young, found herself equality captivated by Relinia, and three years after meeting the two fell into a relationship. The two shared a short, whirl wind romance that never should have happened, and ended with Relinia's death in the Calamity. Despite the fact their relationship was riddled with flaws, Okiku still thinks fondly of Relinia, but understands that it would have never worked. <br /><br />

===OOC Inspirations===<br />
Ki is based off of the old Japanese folk tale , Bancho Sarayashiki, a story about a girl thrown down a well because she refused to marry the lord of the manor she was a servant at. This Okiku died and became a ghost and was tormented in the afterlife. Thus, I wrote MY Okiku to be the Okiku who lived. The Okiku who, despite her past, moves on from such things and makes something of herself. Ki should be happy, find some one to love, and do what SHE want to do, not what other's think she should. <br />

==History== <br />
<br /> <center>{{redacted}}</center> <!-- Born in Doma, Okiku's life began in a small shack , in the dead of night. Her parents were poor and had little money to care for her so they chose to sell her to a wealthy family as a servant. Despite the fact the family had promised to care for Okiku, they did no such thing and she was treated like a slave. Meals were scarce and she would be beaten by the family if she did not obey orders. The young lord, 10 years older than Okiku, started taking interest in her, one of an unhealthy origin. Okiku caught on to this quickly and became very afraid of him. At one point, he tried to grab Okiku, but she screamed and pushed him away. As a result 10 year old Okiku, who had known no love or kindness, but developed it any way, was thrown into a well and left to drown. She hit her head on her way down, and struggled to maintain consciousness, treading water and struggling to breathe, Okiku was forced to press into the sides of the well, forming a sort of bridge to keep herself up. She remained in the well for several hours like this before her legs become to weak to hold her up and she fell back into the water. About ready to give up, she herd a shout from above her. Upon seeing the face of an unknown girl, she finally lost consciousness. --> <br /><br />
Okiku, who had been thrown in a well, was rescued by a passing circus. She had no memory of how or why she was in the well, only that she'd been forcibly pushed into it. Her memory loss was the result of a head injury , and multiple cases of loss of consciousness. She was remedied by a doctor who was also a tight rope walker for the circus. The Elezen's name was Francis, and he was the reason Okiku was alive. He bargained with the owner of the Circus to allow Okiku to stay, and in order to keep her around long her, taught her the art of tight rope and slack line walking. Ki adapted well to the former and often performed with Francis on stage. He became an older brother to her, and she a sister to him. Okiku was very obviously talented, and became a true member of the circus quite quickly. Despite her memory loss she adapted quite well, and was quick to make friends with her kindness and loving, adorable nature. Her first friend in the circus was Relinina Stow, and the two would eventually develop a strange affection for each other akin to love. Ki never could recall her past, and something deep in the back of her mind told her it was best not to. However, in the midst of one of her performances a small flash back came to her, and she fell from the tight rope, to the floor below. This resulted in an injury that, had it not been for Francis, would have prevented her from ever walking properly again. Francis was a genius, however, whose talents were wasted in a circus. He developed a device that, when places in and around Okiku's spine, would allow her to bend normally again, and eve walk the ropes. His hopes were that the device could eventually be surgically removed and Ki could walk with out it's help. This would take time. After this fall, Okiku would often have nightmare about the memory, though she never told any one this. When Ki was 14, her circus traveled to Eorzea, coming to rest outside of Gridania. Their plan had been to stay for a couple months, but it was during these months that the Calamity would occur, resulting in the end of the circus. Okiku managed to find Francis and stay by his side. The two kept to traveling and performing when they needed money. It was during these travels that Okiku met Sami, and the two quickly became friends. However, shortly after Francis became ill, and died swiftly with no apparent reason. Thus Okiku was left all alone, she stuck close to Sami' side and the two made a home for each other in Camp Drybone. From here time moved slowly. Okiku took up the art of lace work, which she became quite proficient at. <br /><br />
<br />
The girls' lives continued for several years with out incident. As Ki grew older she began to frequent the streets of Ishgard, and started performing more , while Sami took delving further into her research. The two however kept in contestant contact. It was in Ishgard, that Okiku met an interesting Miqo'te by the name of [[Ainle Goldpaw]], who, after a short discussion with her, invited her to join the 81st Foreign Levy of the Maelstrom. She accepted his offer, and brought Sami along with her to meet them formally and officially join them. Though a newcomer to their ranks, Okiku hopes to achieve much with them and it is here that her story begins. <br />
==Personality==<br />
Despite Okiku's rough past, Ki grew up happy and loving. She developed a very mother like a nurturing personality. She would be the first to attempt to cheer some one up should she find them sad. She is witty and playful,and surprisingly,unpredictable. She loves delicate things like flowers , dresses and make up, but enjoys darker-viewed things like snakes, spiders, and leather clothing. Ki is a light hearted and happy individual. She enjoys making witty comments, thrives in friendly competition and enjoys the company of cats above all else. She tends to laugh at jokes for longer than others, and if she finds them funny enough, will remember them at some random moment and laugh again. She often comes of as anxious or shy , but once she warms up to people she can be a great friend. She is most comfortable around her close friend Sami, and at these times she can be seen making many puns and occasionally an innuendo or two. In her spare time she might be seen attempting and old trick, singing, or drawing as those are her favorite hobbies. Though she comes off as girly she's not afraid to get her hands dirty. In fact her hand's are not delicate, and upon closer inspection bear many scars. Though she might not show it, and would never admit to it, Ki is self conscious of her appearance, but mainly her scales. Having no memory of growing up around other Au Ra, her scales were always pointed out as foreign. Despite the fact a few have complimented them, she would prefer not to show them, and often attempts to hide them, except when performing were she has little choice but to reveal them. <br />

Ki's first friend after the Calamity , Sami and Ki met each other while both in a time of need and quickly hit it off. The two shared a fire like personality and were drawn to each other because of this. Over time Ki began to understand her feelings for Sami were more than that of feelings of friendship, and she found herself falling for the Miqo'te. However out of respect for her friend who obviously did not share the feelings, she quickly locked them away were the eventually diminished into a small flame but never truly disappeared. Now the two find themselves as close as two friend can get, trusting their lives to each other. <br /><br />

===OOC Inspirations===<br />
Ki is based off of the old Japanese folk tale , Bancho Sarayashiki, a story about a girl thrown down a well because she refused to marry the lord of the manor she was a servant at. This Okiku died and became a ghost and was tormented in the afterlife. Thus, I wrote MY Okiku to be the Okiku who lived. The Okiku who, despite her past, moves on from such things and makes something of herself. Ki should be happy, find some one to love, and do what SHE want to do, not what other's think she should. <br />

==History==<br />
Born in Doma, Okiku's life began in a small shack , in the dead of night. Her parents were poor and had little money to care for her so they chose to sell her to a wealthy family as a servant. Despite the fact the family had promised to care for Okiku, they did no such thing and she was treated like a slave. Meals were scarce and she would be beaten by the family if she did not obey orders. The young lord, 10 years older than Okiku, started taking interest in her, one of an unhealthy origin. Okiku caught on to this quickly and became very afraid of him. At one point, he tried to grab Okiku, but she screamed and pushed him away. As a result 10 year old Okiku, who had known no love or kindness, but developed it any way, was thrown into a well and left to drown. She hit her head on her way down, and struggled to maintain consciousness, treading water and struggling to breathe, Okiku was forced to press into the sides of the well, forming a sort of bridge to keep herself up. She remained in the well for several hours like this before her legs become to weak to hold her up and she fell back into the water. About ready to give up, she herd a shout from above her. Upon seeing the face of an unknown girl, she finally lost consciousness. <br /><br />
<br />
Okiku, who had been thrown in a well, was rescued by a passing circus. She had no memory of how or why she was in the well, only that she'd been forcibly pushed into it. Her memory loss was the result of a head injury , and multiple cases of loss of consciousness. She was remedied by a doctor who was also a tight rope walker for the circus. The Elezen's name was Francis, and he was the reason Okiku was alive. He bargained with the owner of the Circus to allow Okiku to stay, and in order to keep her around long her, taught her the art of tight rope and slack line walking. Ki adapted well to the former and often performed with Francis on stage. He became an older brother to her, and she a sister to him. Okiku was very obviously talented, and became a true member of the circus quite quickly. Despite her memory loss she adapted quite well, and was quick to make friends with her kindness and loving, adorable nature. Her first friend in the circus was Relinina Stow, and the two would eventually develop a strange affection for each other akin to love. Ki never could recall her past, and something deep in the back of her mind told her it was best not to. However, in the midst of one of her performances a small flash back came to her, and she fell from the tight rope, to the floor below. This resulted in an injury that, had it not been for Francis, would have prevented her from ever walking properly again. Francis was a genius, however, whose talents were wasted in a circus. He developed a device that, when places in and around Okiku's spine, would allow her to bend normally again, and eve walk the ropes. His hopes were that the device could eventually be surgically removed and Ki could walk with out it's help. This would take time. After this fall, Okiku would often have nightmare about the memory, though she never told any one this. When Ki was 14, her circus traveled to Eorzea, coming to rest outside of Gridania. Their plan had been to stay for a couple months, but it was during these months that the Calamity would occur, resulting in the end of the circus. Okiku managed to find Francis and stay by his side. The two kept to traveling and performing when they needed money. It was during these travels that Okiku met Sami, and the two quickly became friends. However, shortly after Francis became ill, and died swiftly with no apparent reason. Thus Okiku was left all alone, she stuck close to Sami' side and the two made a home for each other in Camp Drybone. From here time moved slowly. Okiku took up the art of lace work, which she became quite proficient at. <br /><br />
<br />
The girls' lives continued for several years with out incident. As Ki grew older she began to frequent the streets of Ishgard, and started performing more , while Sami took delving further into her research. The two however kept in contestant contact. It was in Ishgard, that Okiku met an interesting Miqo'te by the name of Ainle Goldpaw, who, after a short discussion with her, invited her to join the 81st Foreign Levy of the Maelstrom. She accepted his offer, and brought Sami along with her to meet them formally and officially join them. Though a newcomer to their ranks, Okiku hopes to achieve much with them and it is here that her story begins. <br />
==Personality==<br />
Despite Okiku's rough past, Ki grew up happy and loving. She developed a very mother like a nurturing personality. She would be the first to attempt to cheer some one up should she find them sad. She is witty and playful,and surprisingly,unpredictable. She loves delicate things like flowers , dresses and make up, but enjoys darker-viewed things like snakes, spiders, and leather clothing. Ki is a light hearted and happy individual. She enjoys making witty comments, thrives in friendly competition and enjoys the company of cats above all else. She tends to laugh at jokes for longer than others, and if she finds them funny enough, will remember them at some random moment and laugh again. She often comes of as anxious or shy , but once she warms up to people she can be a great friend. She is most comfortable around her close friend Sami, and at these times she can be seen making many puns and occasionally an innuendo or two. In her spare time she might be seen attempting and old trick, singing, or drawing as those are her favorite hobbies. Though she comes off as girly she's not afraid to get her hands dirty. In fact her hand's are not delicate, and upon closer inspection bear many scars. Though she might not show it, and would never admit to it, Ki is self conscious of her appearance, but mainly her scales. Having no memory of growing up around other Au Ra, her scales were always pointed out as foreign. Despite the fact a few have complimented them, she would prefer not to show them, and often attempts to hide them, except when performing were she has little choice but to reveal them. <br />

Having no memory of growing up around other Au Ra, her scales were always pointed out as foreign. Despite the fact a few have complimented them, she would prefer not to show them, and often attempts to hide them, except when performing were she has little choice but to reveal them. <br />
<br />
==Relationships ==<br />
.:Sami Molkoh:.<br />
Ki's first friend after the Calamity , Sami and Ki met each other while both in a time of need and quickly hit it off. The two shared a fire like personality and were drawn to each other because of this. Over time Ki began to understand her feelings for Sami were more than that of feelings of friendship, and she found herself falling for the Miqo'te. However out of respect for her friend who obviously did not share the feelings, she quickly locked them away were the eventually diminished into a small flame but never truly disappeared. Now the two find themselves as close as two friend can get, trusting their lives to each other. <br />
<br />
.:Francis Tomsonford (Deceased):.<br />
The Elezen who saved Okiku from the well quickly became a brother like figure and parent at the same time. As both a performer and doctor of the circus she would eventually perform at, he was the one who healed her injuries, and brought her to love tight rope walking so much. 10 years older than her, Francis brought wisdom to Okiku's life. He introduced her to painting, and tinkering along side her many other hobbies. Though she never told him, Francis became the person Okiku would perform for time after time on stage. After a fall from the ropes that would have been the end of Shiki's career, he placed a small mechanism that would allow her to bend her back properly again. He believed that, in due time, he would be able to remove the device and she would no longer need it. However , he fell ill shortly after the Calamity, and 12 year old Okiku could do nothing but watch her dearest friend wither away and die. <br />
<br />
.: Relinina Stow (Deceased):.<br />
The hyuran performer was captivated by Okiku the moment she was pulled from the well, being the one to first find Okiku in it. Five years older than Okiku, Relinina was careful to admit her affection for Okiku. However, Okiku, though young, found herself equality captivated by Relinia, and three years after meeting the two fell into a relationship. The two shared a short, whirl wind romance that never should have happened, and ended with Relinia's death in the Calamity. Despite the fact their relationship was riddled with flaws, Okiku still thinks fondly of Relinia, but understands that it would have never worked. <br />

==Other Notes==<br />
===Religion=== <br />
Ki has never really been religious due to the fact she was never exposed to it until late in life. She dose believe in an after life but worships no deity. None the less she respects the religions of others. <br />
<br />
===Quirks===<br />
Ki has a fascination with dancing, seeing as how she's performer. That being said, dancing is her weak point in her performance abilities. When feeling down, she could often be seen dancing alone, sometimes to no music, in an entirely clumsy and uncoordinated way. More often than not she bumps into things while doing this, she bruises quite easily. <br />
While not the most talented singer in all the realm, Ki enjoys humming to herself from time to time and is quite good at it. She can be found doing this while cooking/tinkering/bathing and dose not mind others listening to her. She often likes to make up languages while she sings, believing it makes her sound better. <br />
When bored, Okiku is likely to burst into dance. It's best not to question it. <br />
She likes to paint rainbows on her wrists and ankles. Again, it best left unquestioned. <br />
<br />
==Notable Quotes==<br />
"War only exists because there is always some one to fight."<br />
"I've seen men's passions destroy them, I've watched them become some one else in the name of something they love. I will not fall like them."<br />
"Tiki, transorme mwah!"<br />
"For it is her that I've run the lines of insanity for, and I shall do so again if need be." <br />
<br />
<br />
===Rumours===<br />
Okiku has no real or threatening rumors floating around her. She's quite careful and performs under the stage name "The Lonely Ghost." <br />
<br />
===Known Haunts===<br />
You might have run into or otherwise know Ki from:<br />
<br />
* Ishgard<br />
* The Beaches in Mist<br />
* The Golden Saucer (When she dose perform, it's usually here)<br />

<br />
===OOC Inspirations===<br />
Ki is based off of the old Japanese folk tale , Bancho Sarayashiki, a story about a girl thrown down a well because she refused to marry the lord of the manor she was a servant at. This Okiku died and became a ghost and was tormented in the afterlife. Thus, I was MY Okiku to be the Okiku who lived. The Okiku who despite her past moves on from such things and makes something of herself. Ki should be happy, find some one to love, and do what SHE want to do, not what other's think she should. <br />
