'''Pyha'to Polaali''' is a miqo'te ranger, bounty hunter and mercenary. Beneath his relatively calm and easy-going demeanor lurks a bitter resentment. His loyalty towards his sister is absolute – as the last remaining connection that he has to his past, he is determined to protect her with his life.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Appearance & Personality</div>===
:
Pyha'to is a young man who has seen more than someone his age should have. Though he maintains a normally calm and easy-going demeanor, it isn't hard to tell that his gaze his haunted by memories of his past. Neither tall nor short, he stands as an average example of his species, and his athletic build hints at someone who spends much of his time on the practice field. He walks with precision and confidence, though without any sign of arrogance.

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

Pyha'to and his sister, Sumari, were both born and raised in the secret underground enclave of the Dusk Dancers. The Dusk Dancers was a group of rogues that operated independently of any of the larger thieves guilds based out of the three major Eorzean city-states. Their existence was tolerated due to their altruistic nature – their mission was to help anyone who came to them with problems which were too complicated to be handled by members of any local authorities.

Their mother and father had an open relationship with each other. When Pyha'to and Sumari were just babies, they were introduced to their half-sister, L'anya Kharja, who was the result of their father falling for a Seeker woman who was part of a more traditional Seeker tribe. L'tarra Khoran had to keep her visits to their group a secret, and her daughter was named in a traditional Seeker fashion, as she had to maintain the ruse that the baby's father was L'kharja Nunh, a man with influence within her tribe. Though visits were less than frequent, Pyha'to and Sumari accepted L'anya as their sibling and, as they grew older, the three played together whenever L'tarra brought little L'anya to visit.

The caverns their group inhabited were located within the Shroud. They were an expansive network of tunnels, and were crisscrossed with underground streams and waterfalls. For two young children, these proved irresistible to explore. Pyha'to and Sumari (along with any of the other Dusk Dancer children who wished to tag along, or L'anya if she was currently visiting) had their own series of adventures within those tunnels – they held off hordes of monsters, saved countless princesses (and princes, at Sumari's insistence), their adventure limited only by the scope of their imaginations.

When he was old enough, Pyha'to began learning skills which would be useful to the group. He spent much time in the outdoors with the group's hunters and trackers. He loved the outdoors, loved the wilderness. He learned how to read signs from sets of tracks, how to stalk prey, and how to set up useful traps. Once he was big enough to wield a weapon, he found himself gravitating towards the longspear as his weapon of choice, though he also received training in a number of different weapons, and was also trained in a variety of unarmed fighting techniques.

L'anya often watched him train, though her mother was reluctant to let her join in. Pyha'to argued that she should learn how to defend herself. With L'tarra watching, he showed L'anya the basics. He was only a novice himself, but L'tarra quickly realized how valuable such instruction was. She asked if Pyha'to could convince his father to teach her daughter as well. Hanji'a had been reluctant to provide training, since he didn't want to endanger L'anya if L'kharja Nunh discovered her skills and found out where she had learned them. However, in the end Pyha'to convinced his father that L'anya would only be safer if she knew how to fight, and soon L'anya started practicing with the group's young trainees whenever she came to visit.

In the end, L'kharja Nunh eventually did discover the true origins of his “daughter”. While L'anya mostly appeared to be a Seeker, there were hints at her half-breed heritage. L'kharja had spies watching L'tarra and despite her caution, her meetings with the Dusk Dancers were discovered. L'kharja was out for revenge. For years he had been made to look like a fool. He hired a band of assassins and, accompanying them to the Dusk Dancer enclave, he began murdering any that he believed were implicit in this deception. They swept through the caverns, murdering men and women alike, slaughtering children.

Hanji'a and Pyha were each slain by the vindictive nunh, though not before urging their children to flee. They stole through the caverns, hounded by L'kharja and his assassins. Just before they reached the surface, it became obvious that they were going to be overtaken. Pyha'to urged Sumari and L'anya onwards, then turned to buy them some time.

Sumari turned to stay but, when she saw L'anya do the same, she was left with little choice but to flee with her younger sister. Pyha'to fought bravely and, while he possessed a fierce warrior spirit, he was still just a novice and no match for a band of trained assassins. Still, he was able to occupy them long enough while his sisters slipped away.

During the fight, Pyha'to was knocked off a rickety wooden bridge that spanned a gap in the canyon. He was knocked unconscious and left for dead by the assassins. When he finally awoke, he was being cared for by Sumari. It was then that she told him the sad truth – though she'd done her best to keep L'anya safe, they had gotten separated in the forest. By the time she'd managed to evade her own pursuers and had gone back to search for her sister, she came across L'kharja Nunh. He was bleeding, mortally wounded. When she had confronted him, he held up his bloody weapon and sneered. L'anya was dead. Sumari was about to attack, to end the man's life, when she heard the assassins closing in once again. She had no choice but to turn and flee. At least L'kharja was in no condition to go after her.

Sumari helped Pyha'to out of the chasm. While Pyha'to wanted to go back and bury the bodies, Sumari reasoned that they couldn't return so soon after the attack – it would surely be under some sort of watch. The pair left their home behind and traveled to the nearby city-state of Gridania.

After he had recovered, Pyha'to became obsessed with revenge. He strove constantly to better himself, working on his skills and honing his abilities. To earn enough coin to get by, both he and his sister became bounty hunters – tracking down escaped criminals and wanted targets, and returning them to whomever was funding the contract. This line of work enabled him to create a network of informants, which he has steadily been using to gather information on L'kharja Nunh and his allies.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Developments</div>===
:
: ● Has recently learned through his contacts that his half-sister, L'anya, may still be alive.

: ● Pyha'to and his sister followed the movements of L'kharja's men, and recently discovered them converging on an area in Mist. Pyha'to found L'anya there but, when he confronted her, she fled -- likely assuming that he was working with some form of local law enforcement. He tailed her to the company headquarters of the Light Crusaders, and arrived just in time for L'kharja's men to ambush L'anya. Pyha'to and several of the Light Crusader members rushed to her aid, but were unable to prevent them from abducting her.

: ● The culmination of many months of effort and planning enabled Pye and his allies to track down where L'kharja had taken L'anya. In the time since Pyha'to had known L'kharja, the man had grown in power and influence. He was now a high ranking cultist, working for a primal cult known as the Eyes of Zzahg'ghazz -- a group who intend to summon their insect god, the 'Singing Lord of Shadows' to Eorzea. They were based in a volcano lair about a day's travel by airship off the coast of Limsa Lominsa. Pye and his allies infiltrated the stronghold via a special aetheryte they'd gained access to, while a fleet sent by the Maelstrom engaged the cultists in a frontal assault. They managed to find L'anya, who had been brainwashed and turned into a magitek-augmented assassin, and subdued her. They fought against L'kharja as well, but before they could land the killing blow, he managed to escape.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Sumari Polaali]] : Pyha'to's twin sister. The two have been practically inseparable since birth, and they have a deep connection. She supplies the ranger with the gadgets and traps that he brings out into the field. He would do anything to protect her, up to and including dying for her.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Tikka Swift]] : He once knew her as L'anya Kharja and believed her to be dead. But he since discovered that she was very much alive, and merely had amnesia. Unfortunately, by the time he discovered her, she was abducted by L'kharja Nunh, experimented on, and turned into a brainwashed magitek assassin. With his newfound friends from the Radical Dreamers, he launched an assault on the cultists' island and freed her. Now that she's back in his life, as with Sumari, he would do anything to protect her.

: <font style="color:#F02311;" size="3">♥</font> [[Glow N'amownoc]] : The subject of one of the first bounty contracts that he and his sister accepted. This contract was also their first significant failure. However, while they failed to capture this elusive target, their target -- unintentionally or not -- led them to stumble across an underground slave trafficking ring that they were subsequently able to put a stop to. The bounty for capturing the criminals worked out to be more than Glow's was worth. As there is no longer a bounty on this individual that has been posted by anyone that he would care to work for, Pyha'to was willing to let her go with no hard feelings. He encountered her again recently, and a series of casual flings gradually grew into more. They are now in a relationship in an official capacity, although both consider it an open ordeal.

: <font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font> [[Valkhiss Lasher]] : He is the mage that created the portal that enabled L'Kharja Nunh's men to abduct his sister, L'anya. With the aid of one of Valkhiss's angry ex girlfriends, Pye and Sumari were able to track Valkhiss down. Due to the elusive nature of their prey, they needed to disable him quickly. To this end, Pye convinced Sumari to use an untested device that she had created, to aid in his capture. The device worked, but arguably too well. It overloaded Valkhiss's central nervous system, rendered him unconscious, but then wiped his long term memories. When he awoke, he had no memory of who he was, and his interrogation yielded nothing that could help them in finding L'anya. Pye doesn't trust Lasher, not as far as he can throw the man. But his sister has convinced him that they need him alive. For the time being, Pye has left his care in Sumari's hands, because he knows that if he gets too close, bad things will happen.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Garnet Rayn]] : Pyha'to met this enigmantic woman from Garlemond while he was battling a cultist near Highbridge. The cultist had gotten advantage over him and was about to knock him into the abyss, when Garnet came to his aid and saved his life. The two spent the night together, and Pye felt an immediate sort of attraction to her -- an attraction that continued even after learning of her true heritage. Garnet wound up pregnant with his child and, while neither of them had any real intention of pursuing a romantic relationship with one another, they have remained friends.

'''Tikka Swift''', sometimes known as "Tabitha Emberfury", sometimes known as "Princess", sometimes known as "Hey, you, stop burning things!" is a miqo'te thief and street rat who has no current permanent place of residence. During the day, she can often be found on the streets of Ul'dah, performing elaborate feats of stage magic and acrobatics in order to draw crowds of marks to make for easy pickpocketing. At night, she plies her trade across the rooftops of the city, testing her lockpicking, safecracking, and trapfinding skills out in the homes of various unsuspecting noblemen. It has recently been discovered that her birth name is L'anya Kharja. Given that she's also learned that L'Kharja Nunh is not only NOT her real father, but he's the one who murdered her family, Tikka has decided that her *real* birth name is L'anya Polaali. Recently, she has married Gen Quickpaw and has appended her name with his last name, now calling herself L'anya Polaali Quickpaw.

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

Tikka is an acrobat and it shows through her build. While not overly strong, she is extremely agile and dextrous. She has a small frame and is very light, but uses that to her advantage, both to throw people off guard and to throw herself around. Her hair is a mix of red and white, though the white highlights are a natural coloration rather than a dye job. Her eyes are perhaps her most striking feature, a vivid green that often shimmer with energy and youthful exuberance. Although the young thief appears to be a Seeker, a clue to her hybrid heritage is in her slightly elongated canines -- which are far more pronounced than a Seeker's should be.

A hedonist at heart, Tikka lives a wild and crazy lifestyle. She acts on impulse, and does what she feels like doing at any given time, without any heed to potential consequences. She enjoys being random, a trait that often convinces people that she's actually at least partially insane. Plus she is generally high on sugar cubes, and that contributes significantly to her hyperactivity.

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

Tikka's mother was part of the Viper ( L ) tribe, and was one consort of many for one of the tribe's nunh's. She got pregnant by a Keeper rogue that she had fallen in love with. Since things would be bad if anyone ever found out the truth, she did her best to trick the nunh into thinking that the baby was his. Fortunately, Tikka was born with mostly Seeker features, save for her elongated canines and heightened sense of nightvision. She continued her relationship with the Keeper, and often brought Tikka to meet her real father in secret.

When she was old enough, her father started teaching her rogue skills, and she hung out with him and his group. It was because of this continued interaction that the nunh of her tribe eventually found out about the truth. He tried to have Tikka and her mother killed, but Tikka's father and his band of rogues swooped in to pull them out of danger. However, the insult would not stand, and the nunh gathered up men of his own. They pursued the band and, during the battle, Tikka's parents (along with most of the rogues) were killed.

But before they died, they urged Tikka to escape. The young rogue ran for her life, but the nunh soon caught up to her. They fought, and he beat her to within an inch of her life. But before he could land the final blow, she struck him with a knife just below the heart. His own blow proved a glancing one, but it bounced her head off a rock and Tikka went unconscious. Leaving her dying, the nunh retreated to seek medical aid -- he couldn't tell anyone the truth of what had happened, for fear of what would happen to his status if it became known that he was nearly killed by not only a female, but a female child.

Soon afterwards, Tikka was discovered by a traveling band of mercenaries -- Louis, Reis, and Shin. The trio of adventurers took her in and nursed her back to health. But after she had recovered, Tikka recalled nothing of her former life. The adventurers invited her to join them. Since she couldn't remember her name, they helped her think of one. Louis started to train her to defend herself, but when he did so, he soon discovered that she had several innate talents related to thievery. He called her 'Swift', because she was innately fast on her feet and quick fingered. Her role within the group determined, she set off with the trio in search of adventure.

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

: ● Had her heart broken in a relationship with Sparrow. Until she met him, Tikka had never loved anyone before, at least not as far as she could remember. She'd been with a lot of guys, and had certainly felt attraction. But she'd never even considered becoming exclusive with someone. That's why it was so much harder for her when it turned out that he was in love with someone else. This relationship has had a huge impact on Tikka. She has withdrawn, choosing to distance herself even further from people emotionally. She has also found comfort in the bottle, deciding that being drunk all the time keeps her mind from wandering back to the comfort she'd found in his arms.

: ● During a beach party, Tikka was refusing to go into the water to join the rest of her friends due to her fear of sharks. Instead, she stubbornly camped out on the beach and built herself a sand castle. After awhile the others managed to coax her out to join them. For unknown reasons, the sand castle animated and became a sort of miniature sand golem. From that moment, it started following her around like it was somehow connected to her. She cannot currently figure out a way to rid herself of this construct. She has tried smashing it, slicing it into pieces, dropping it from high altitude, burning it, and having mages throw magic at it. It has thus far managed to reconstruct itself each time. She has since named it 'Sandcastle' and treats it like an annoying pet. Her theory is that someone who doesn't like her placed some sort of a curse on her. Currently, in order to give herself a few moments of freedom from it, she has taken to bursting it apart into tiny pieces, putting the pieces into separate containers, filling them with water, and sealing them. Each time, Sandcastle has somehow managed to escape, reform, and locate her again. How long this process takes seems to vary from a few hours to a few days.

: ● Tikka was hired to help rig some fights run by her friends Yorric, Ari, and Gen. They figured that with her charisma and her enthusiasm she would have no trouble whipping up crowds into a frenzy, causing them to bet on their fighters, who would then throw the match. It's became a profitable arrangement for all parties involved. Plus Tikka had gotten lots of pretty gems and sugar cubes out of the deal.

: ● She kept a secret stash of her belongings and stolen goods at her room at the Quicksand. Recently, her room exploded and a group of unknown assailants attacked her and Yorric. There were no survivors amongst the assailants, and there were no identifying marks that might indicate their origin. The explosion was confined mostly to her room, with just a bit of damage to surrounding rooms. The wall in which her window was placed was pretty much blown wide open. Until she's able to secure a new base of operations, Tikka's current status is mobile, and she's relying on her set of emergency caches scattered throughout the major cities. Update: Her friend Cookie (Vanilla Wayfarer) offered to share her room with Tikka, thus solving her housing situation.

: ● Tikka, Glow, Gen, Yorric, and Ari perpetrated an intricately planned heist and stole millions of gil worth of artwork from an art auction in Ul'dah. They are currently sitting on this now hidden stash, preparing to sell it later.

: ● Armed assailants working for L'kharja Nunh tracked Tikka down to the headquarters of the Light Crusaders. They managed to render her unconscious and, despite the valiant efforts of her friends and company members, she was abducted and taken away to an unknown location. Tikka's half-brother, Pyha'to, and half-sister, Sumari, had been tracking L'kharja's men and wound up locating her just before she was kidnapped -- Tikka hadn't recognized either of them, and had fled from Pyha'to when he confronted her. Tikka's real name was revealed to be L'anya Kharja.

: ● Tikka spent many months in captivity. She was held by a group of cultists known as the Eyes of Zzahg'ghazz. They were a primal cult, based in a volcano lair about a day and a half's travel by airship from the shores of Limsa Lominsa. They were gathering crystals, intending to summon their insect god, the "Singing Lord of Shadows". Tikka was indoctrinated through the use of a special serum. She was given various magitek augments, and turned into a brainwashed assassin for the cult. She had her baby while in captivity, and L'kharja cruelly named it 'L'tarra', after Tikka's mother. He fully intended to raise L'tarra to worship Zzahg'ghazz as well. But thanks to the timely intervention of Tikka's friends and allies, and her brother and sister, Tikka was rescued from the cult and given an antidote to the indoctrination serum that had claimed her. While she had no memory of her time spent with the cultists, she catches glimpses in nightmares. Her baby was rescued from the clutches of the cultists as well. When she was introduced to her child by the father, Gen, Tikka dropped the L from the baby's name, and decided to call her Tarra Swiftpaw.

: ● Tikka is now a part of the group 'Might and Magitek'. While she occasionally runs missions with the group, her main focus is on her revival of the "Dusk Dancers", which she views as a separate faction within a faction. This group is an homage to the one that her parents helped found -- a group of benevolent rogues. Her vision for the Dusk Dancers is more a group of benevolent sky pirates, and her attention has been specifically focused on monitoring the routes of Garlean treasure ships.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Ninja Lou]] : One of the members of the adventuring band who first discovered her and nursed her back to health. Louis has been a brother figure and a friend to her, and has helped her regain her fighting skills. Although she respects him and loves him like she would a real brother, she often enjoys helping herself to his coin purse, and challenging herself to see what else she can take without him noticing.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Shin Lightbringer]] : Another of the adventuring trio who saved her. Shin was a good friend to Tikka, until a night of indiscretion turned things awkward. Shin mistook their night of fun for something more, and was ashamed of himself. He disappeared, and she hasn't seen him since. Although she worries about him, she also feels that he overreacted.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Reis Ravenhart]] : Louis's wife, Reis has been a big sister figure to Tikka. While she tends to poke fun at Louis and generally makes him the butt of her jokes, Reis is the one that she respects the most. Lately Tikka has been training with a variety of different weapons under her tutelage, in order to enhance her versatility.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Glow N'amownoc]] : Although Tikka doesn't know Glow's true name, referring to her only by the nickname "Blueberry", she has become fast friends with the Keeper from the day they first met. Blueberry is another thief, and an often partner in crime. Tikka likes her a great deal, and often responds to the alias "Princess" that Blueberry has given her.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Vanilla Wayfarer]] : Vanilla aka "Cookie" is currently one of the few people who knows the real person behind the mask. She has become a person that Tikka can confide in, and Tikka views the Seeker as a close friend.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Haru Hattori]] : For a brief time, Tikka was head of security in the KHFNNDB (Keep Haru From Not Not Dying Brigade). Although she knows little about the lalafell, she knows that Haru is a member of the guard and isn't one in whom to confide her more illicit activities. Nevertheless, Haru has a great sense of humor, and Tikka has had plenty of fun playing around with her in the Quicksand.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Rhoe'a Lihzeh]] : While not truly an item, Tikka has spent more than one night with this dark skinned Keeper. She considers him a friend, and sometimes more than that, though she doubts it could ever develop into anything serious.

: <font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">♥</font> [[Gen Quickpaw]] : The love of her life and her soulmate, Tikka first met Gen during a drunken night at the Quicksand, with what both of them thought was going to be a one night stand. They wound up becoming fast friends and, after much drama and heartache, the pair have finally made it official and tied the knot. She's had three children with him, her daughters Tarra, Sumi, and Rana. It's her plan to have eight children total, so they still have a ways to go.

: <font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">♥</font> [[Kiipa Nulstat]] : Doctor of Might and Magitek, Kiipa has delivered two out of Tikka's three babies. Kiipa became involved in a relationship with Gen, one which Tikka encouraged. Today, Kiipa is another one of Gen's mates, and a sister-wife to Tikka. Tikka loves Kiipa and loves Kiipa's children, and treats them like her own.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Aurus Faith]] : This innocent young Keeper is another friend of Tikka's that went from platonic to "friends with benefits". Her room at the inn was a mess, and so when she found out that Aurus was a general laborer, she enlisted his services as what amounted to basically her live-in maid. She pays him a fair wage, calls him her "Swabbie", and lets him stay in her room -- which she hardly ever occupies. Though the times when she *is* around, she has nothing against sharing her bed.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Rashaka Larola]] : This older lalafell quickly became a father figure of sorts to Tikka. He was the first that she confided in about her dual identity, and she holds a certain affection for him.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">●</font> [[Lynn'wo Vahnal]] : Lynn'wo "Sparrow" Vahnal was the first man that Tikka had ever truly loved. The pair had hit it off immediately. They were an impressive comedy duo, and partners in crime. They often talked about investing in a ship together to sail the world, one that they would name 'Ted'. She took off her mask for him, let him see her real self both physically and emotionally. He reciprocated by tearing out her heart and leaving her for another woman, leaving Tikka crestfallen and defeated. When her mask went back on, she vowed that she would never leave herself that vulnerable again. While she is still upset over the whole issue, she has decided that if Sparrow sends her rogue related work, she'd be more than happy to accept it. After all, emotion has no place in business. Even after their break, she had feelings for him for a long time. Things have cooled now, though, and Tikka has moved on with her life.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Misha Jinhri]] : The woman that Sparrow left her for, Misha tried apologizing to Tikka for the whole fiasco. At first, Tikka viewed the apology as a veiled attempt to gloat over her victory and, despite the woman's offer of friendship, decided she wanted to have nothing further to do with her. She blamed her for Sparrow leaving her more than she blamed Sparrow himself, perhaps blinded by the feelings she had for him. Her anger towards Misha has long since passed now, however. And after spending time with Misha, she realized that this was someone that she could be friends with. Tikka has recently started hosting weekly bow training sessions for Misha, to help her friend hone her own abilities.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Yorric Lesh]] : Tikka's latest business associate. She doesn't know much about this man other than he seems to know how to run a good scam. She has recently agreed to help him with a shady arrangement, and he won serious points with her when he provided advance payment in the form of sparkly gems and sugar cubes. And as everyone knows, TikkaPoints(tm) are one of the most valuable commodities in all of Eorzea.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Reza'li Kaahn]] : She hooked up with this Keeper for what she'd intended to be a one night stand. However, her interest was piqued when he not only drew sketches of her, but he had a proclivity towards burning things. And Tikka likes fire.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">●</font> [[Flynt Knoltros]] : Tikka met this miqo'te only a couple of occasions, but he was fun enough to converse with. On their first meeting, she'd convinced him to leave the Quicksands with her. He believed he was being led into an ambush, so he secretly contacted a friend of his to shadow their progress. When Tikka found out that he thought she was setting him up to rob him, she was both amused and disappointed -- she was sure she projected a less shadier image than that.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Arianne Soren]] : Tikka has grown a lot more fond of Ari in a short amount of time. While she still doesn't know a whole lot about her, she enjoys Ari's attitude, the way she's nicknamed Tikka "Squirrel", and she feels a genuine sort of affection for the woman. She views her as someone that she can confide in.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[C'sanhsa Tia]] : She met this miqo'te in one of the rare times when she had her mask off in the Quicksand. Fresh from her breakup with Sparrow, and needing an excuse to abandon a really bad conversation with a rude hyur, she went up and butted into C'sanhsa's conversation with Jihan Rowe. Neither minded, and they helped to console her. Then her miniature sand golem appeared and started stomping around, and captured the group's interest.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Jihan Rowe]] : This miqo'te was with C'sanhsa when Tikka came up and butted into their conversation. He took particular interest in Sandcastle, and attempted to posit some theories as to how such a thing could have come to be. Tikka still remains convinced that the golem comes as part of an elaborate curse placed upon her by the bugs. She IS getting too close, after all.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Star Flicker]] : Flick was once Gen's girlfriend, and is the mother of Gen's son, Shiro. Things have been rough between Tikka and Flick, with Flick often blaming Tikka for Gen not remaining faithful to her. Tikka has tried to be her friend, and hopes that one day Shiro will be allowed to play with his siblings, Tarra and Sumi.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Anton Borneheld]] : One of the first friends that Tikka made during her nightly carousing at the Quicksand, although he disappeared for a long period of time. When he returned again, she almost didn't recognize him, and almost certainly forgot his name. But they became reacquainted again at the grand ball in Ul'dah, where he made a habit of trying to follow her on her insane leaps off of the balconies. Tikka enjoys playing off of Anton's banter, and loves the way that his wit seems to stack with hers. She sees him as a potential partner in crime.

'''Tikka Swift''', sometimes known as "Tabitha Emberfury", sometimes known as "Princess", sometimes known as "Hey, you, stop burning things!" is a miqo'te thief and street rat who has no current permanent place of residence. During the day, she can often be found on the streets of Ul'dah, performing elaborate feats of stage magic and acrobatics in order to draw crowds of marks to make for easy pickpocketing. At night, she plies her trade across the rooftops of the city, testing her lockpicking, safecracking, and trapfinding skills out in the homes of various unsuspecting noblemen. It has recently been discovered that her birth name is L'anya Kharja. Given that she's also learned that L'Kharja Nunh is not only NOT her real father, but he's the one who murdered her family, Tikka has decided that her *real* birth name is L'anya Polaali. Recently, she has married Gen Quickpaw and has appended her name with his last name, now calling herself L'anya Polaali Quickpaw.

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

Tikka is an acrobat and it shows through her build. While not overly strong, she is extremely agile and dextrous. She has a small frame and is very light, but uses that to her advantage, both to throw people off guard and to throw herself around. Her hair is a mix of red and white, though the white highlights are a natural coloration rather than a dye job. Her eyes are perhaps her most striking feature, a vivid green that often shimmer with energy and youthful exuberance. Although the young thief appears to be a Seeker, a clue to her hybrid heritage is in her slightly elongated canines -- which are far more pronounced than a Seeker's should be.

A hedonist at heart, Tikka lives a wild and crazy lifestyle. She acts on impulse, and does what she feels like doing at any given time, without any heed to potential consequences. She enjoys being random, a trait that often convinces people that she's actually at least partially insane. Plus she is generally high on sugar cubes, and that contributes significantly to her hyperactivity.

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

Tikka's mother was part of the Viper ( L ) tribe, and was one consort of many for one of the tribe's nunh's. She got pregnant by a Keeper rogue that she had fallen in love with. Since things would be bad if anyone ever found out the truth, she did her best to trick the nunh into thinking that the baby was his. Fortunately, Tikka was born with mostly Seeker features, save for her elongated canines and heightened sense of nightvision. She continued her relationship with the Keeper, and often brought Tikka to meet her real father in secret.

When she was old enough, her father started teaching her rogue skills, and she hung out with him and his group. It was because of this continued interaction that the nunh of her tribe eventually found out about the truth. He tried to have Tikka and her mother killed, but Tikka's father and his band of rogues swooped in to pull them out of danger. However, the insult would not stand, and the nunh gathered up men of his own. They pursued the band and, during the battle, Tikka's parents (along with most of the rogues) were killed.

But before they died, they urged Tikka to escape. The young rogue ran for her life, but the nunh soon caught up to her. They fought, and he beat her to within an inch of her life. But before he could land the final blow, she struck him with a knife just below the heart. His own blow proved a glancing one, but it bounced her head off a rock and Tikka went unconscious. Leaving her dying, the nunh retreated to seek medical aid -- he couldn't tell anyone the truth of what had happened, for fear of what would happen to his status if it became known that he was nearly killed by not only a female, but a female child.

Soon afterwards, Tikka was discovered by a traveling band of mercenaries -- Louis, Reis, and Shin. The trio of adventurers took her in and nursed her back to health. But after she had recovered, Tikka recalled nothing of her former life. The adventurers invited her to join them. Since she couldn't remember her name, they helped her think of one. Louis started to train her to defend herself, but when he did so, he soon discovered that she had several innate talents related to thievery. He called her 'Swift', because she was innately fast on her feet and quick fingered. Her role within the group determined, she set off with the trio in search of adventure.

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

: ● Had her heart broken in a relationship with Sparrow. Until she met him, Tikka had never loved anyone before, at least not as far as she could remember. She'd been with a lot of guys, and had certainly felt attraction. But she'd never even considered becoming exclusive with someone. That's why it was so much harder for her when it turned out that he was in love with someone else. This relationship has had a huge impact on Tikka. She has withdrawn, choosing to distance herself even further from people emotionally. She has also found comfort in the bottle, deciding that being drunk all the time keeps her mind from wandering back to the comfort she'd found in his arms.

: ● During a beach party, Tikka was refusing to go into the water to join the rest of her friends due to her fear of sharks. Instead, she stubbornly camped out on the beach and built herself a sand castle. After awhile the others managed to coax her out to join them. For unknown reasons, the sand castle animated and became a sort of miniature sand golem. From that moment, it started following her around like it was somehow connected to her. She cannot currently figure out a way to rid herself of this construct. She has tried smashing it, slicing it into pieces, dropping it from high altitude, burning it, and having mages throw magic at it. It has thus far managed to reconstruct itself each time. She has since named it 'Sandcastle' and treats it like an annoying pet. Her theory is that someone who doesn't like her placed some sort of a curse on her. Currently, in order to give herself a few moments of freedom from it, she has taken to bursting it apart into tiny pieces, putting the pieces into separate containers, filling them with water, and sealing them. Each time, Sandcastle has somehow managed to escape, reform, and locate her again. How long this process takes seems to vary from a few hours to a few days.

: ● Tikka was hired to help rig some fights run by her friends Yorric, Ari, and Gen. They figured that with her charisma and her enthusiasm she would have no trouble whipping up crowds into a frenzy, causing them to bet on their fighters, who would then throw the match. It's became a profitable arrangement for all parties involved. Plus Tikka had gotten lots of pretty gems and sugar cubes out of the deal.

: ● She kept a secret stash of her belongings and stolen goods at her room at the Quicksand. Recently, her room exploded and a group of unknown assailants attacked her and Yorric. There were no survivors amongst the assailants, and there were no identifying marks that might indicate their origin. The explosion was confined mostly to her room, with just a bit of damage to surrounding rooms. The wall in which her window was placed was pretty much blown wide open. Until she's able to secure a new base of operations, Tikka's current status is mobile, and she's relying on her set of emergency caches scattered throughout the major cities. Update: Her friend Cookie (Vanilla Wayfarer) offered to share her room with Tikka, thus solving her housing situation.

: ● Tikka, Glow, Gen, Yorric, and Ari perpetrated an intricately planned heist and stole millions of gil worth of artwork from an art auction in Ul'dah. They are currently sitting on this now hidden stash, preparing to sell it later.

: ● Armed assailants working for L'kharja Nunh tracked Tikka down to the headquarters of the Light Crusaders. They managed to render her unconscious and, despite the valiant efforts of her friends and company members, she was abducted and taken away to an unknown location. Tikka's half-brother, Pyha'to, and half-sister, Sumari, had been tracking L'kharja's men and wound up locating her just before she was kidnapped -- Tikka hadn't recognized either of them, and had fled from Pyha'to when he confronted her. Tikka's real name was revealed to be L'anya Kharja.

: ● Tikka spent many months in captivity. She was held by a group of cultists known as the Eyes of Zzahg'ghazz. They were a primal cult, based in a volcano lair about a day and a half's travel by airship from the shores of Limsa Lominsa. They were gathering crystals, intending to summon their insect god, the "Singing Lord of Shadows". Tikka was indoctrinated through the use of a special serum. She was given various magitek augments, and turned into a brainwashed assassin for the cult. She had her baby while in captivity, and L'kharja cruelly named it 'L'tarra', after Tikka's mother. He fully intended to raise L'tarra to worship Zzahg'ghazz as well. But thanks to the timely intervention of Tikka's friends and allies, and her brother and sister, Tikka was rescued from the cult and given an antidote to the indoctrination serum that had claimed her. While she had no memory of her time spent with the cultists, she catches glimpses in nightmares. Her baby was rescued from the clutches of the cultists as well. When she was introduced to her child by the father, Gen, Tikka dropped the L from the baby's name, and decided to call her Tarra Swiftpaw.

: ● Tikka is now a part of the group 'Might and Magitek'. While she occasionally runs missions with the group, her main focus is on her revival of the "Dusk Dancers", which she views as a separate faction within a faction. This group is an homage to the one that her parents helped found -- a group of benevolent rogues. Her vision for the Dusk Dancers is more a group of benevolent sky pirates, and her attention has been specifically focused on monitoring the routes of Garlean treasure ships.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Ninja Lou]] : One of the members of the adventuring band who first discovered her and nursed her back to health. Louis has been a brother figure and a friend to her, and has helped her regain her fighting skills. Although she respects him and loves him like she would a real brother, she often enjoys helping herself to his coin purse, and challenging herself to see what else she can take without him noticing.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Shin Lightbringer]] : Another of the adventuring trio who saved her. Shin was a good friend to Tikka, until a night of indiscretion turned things awkward. Shin mistook their night of fun for something more, and was ashamed of himself. He disappeared, and she hasn't seen him since. Although she worries about him, she also feels that he overreacted.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Reis Ravenhart]] : Louis's wife, Reis has been a big sister figure to Tikka. While she tends to poke fun at Louis and generally makes him the butt of her jokes, Reis is the one that she respects the most. Lately Tikka has been training with a variety of different weapons under her tutelage, in order to enhance her versatility.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Glow N'amownoc]] : Although Tikka doesn't know Glow's true name, referring to her only by the nickname "Blueberry", she has become fast friends with the Keeper from the day they first met. Blueberry is another thief, and an often partner in crime. Tikka likes her a great deal, and often responds to the alias "Princess" that Blueberry has given her.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Vanilla Wayfarer]] : Vanilla aka "Cookie" is currently one of the few people who knows the real person behind the mask. She has become a person that Tikka can confide in, and Tikka views the Seeker as a close friend.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Haru Hattori]] : For a brief time, Tikka was head of security in the KHFNNDB (Keep Haru From Not Not Dying Brigade). Although she knows little about the lalafell, she knows that Haru is a member of the guard and isn't one in whom to confide her more illicit activities. Nevertheless, Haru has a great sense of humor, and Tikka has had plenty of fun playing around with her in the Quicksand.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Rhoe'a Lihzeh]] : While not truly an item, Tikka has spent more than one night with this dark skinned Keeper. She considers him a friend, and sometimes more than that, though she doubts it could ever develop into anything serious.

: <font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">♥</font> [[Gen Quickpaw]] : The love of her life and her soulmate, Tikka first met Gen during a drunken night at the Quicksand, with what both of them thought was going to be a one night stand. They wound up becoming fast friends and, after much drama and heartache, the pair have finally made it official and tied the knot. She's had three children with him, her daughters Tarra, Sumi, and Rana. It's her plan to have eight children total, so they still have a ways to go.

: <font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">♥</font> [[Kiipa Nulstat]] : Doctor of Might and Magitek, Kiipa has delivered two out of Tikka's three babies. Kiipa became involved in a relationship with Gen, one which Tikka encouraged. Today, Kiipa is another one of Gen's mates, and a sister-wife to Tikka. Tikka loves Kiipa and loves Kiipa's children, and treats them like her own.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Aurus Faith]] : This innocent young Keeper is another friend of Tikka's that went from platonic to "friends with benefits". Her room at the inn was a mess, and so when she found out that Aurus was a general laborer, she enlisted his services as what amounted to basically her live-in maid. She pays him a fair wage, calls him her "Swabbie", and lets him stay in her room -- which she hardly ever occupies. Though the times when she *is* around, she has nothing against sharing her bed.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Rashaka Larola]] : This older lalafell quickly became a father figure of sorts to Tikka. He was the first that she confided in about her dual identity, and she holds a certain affection for him.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">●</font> [[Lynn'wo Vahnal]] : Lynn'wo "Sparrow" Vahnal was the first man that Tikka had ever truly loved. The pair had hit it off immediately. They were an impressive comedy duo, and partners in crime. They often talked about investing in a ship together to sail the world, one that they would name 'Ted'. She took off her mask for him, let him see her real self both physically and emotionally. He reciprocated by tearing out her heart and leaving her for another woman, leaving Tikka crestfallen and defeated. When her mask went back on, she vowed that she would never leave herself that vulnerable again. While she is still upset over the whole issue, she has decided that if Sparrow sends her rogue related work, she'd be more than happy to accept it. After all, emotion has no place in business. Even after their break, she had feelings for him for a long time. Things have cooled now, though, and Tikka has moved on with her life.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Misha Jinhri]] : The woman that Sparrow left her for, Misha tried apologizing to Tikka for the whole fiasco. At first, Tikka viewed the apology as a veiled attempt to gloat over her victory and, despite the woman's offer of friendship, decided she wanted to have nothing further to do with her. She blamed her for Sparrow leaving her more than she blamed Sparrow himself, perhaps blinded by the feelings she had for him. Her anger towards Misha has long since passed now, however. And after spending time with Misha, she realized that this was someone that she could be friends with. Tikka has recently started hosting weekly bow training sessions for Misha, to help her friend hone her own abilities.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Yorric Lesh]] : Tikka's latest business associate. She doesn't know much about this man other than he seems to know how to run a good scam. She has recently agreed to help him with a shady arrangement, and he won serious points with her when he provided advance payment in the form of sparkly gems and sugar cubes. And as everyone knows, TikkaPoints(tm) are one of the most valuable commodities in all of Eorzea.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Reza'li Kaahn]] : She hooked up with this Keeper for what she'd intended to be a one night stand. However, her interest was piqued when he not only drew sketches of her, but he had a proclivity towards burning things. And Tikka likes fire.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">●</font> [[Flynt Knoltros]] : Tikka met this miqo'te only a couple of occasions, but he was fun enough to converse with. On their first meeting, she'd convinced him to leave the Quicksands with her. He believed he was being led into an ambush, so he secretly contacted a friend of his to shadow their progress. When Tikka found out that he thought she was setting him up to rob him, she was both amused and disappointed -- she was sure she projected a less shadier image than that.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Arianne Soren]] : Tikka has grown a lot more fond of Ari in a short amount of time. While she still doesn't know a whole lot about her, she enjoys Ari's attitude, the way she's nicknamed Tikka "Squirrel", and she feels a genuine sort of affection for the woman. She views her as someone that she can confide in.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[C'sanhsa Tia]] : She met this miqo'te in one of the rare times when she had her mask off in the Quicksand. Fresh from her breakup with Sparrow, and needing an excuse to abandon a really bad conversation with a rude hyur, she went up and butted into C'sanhsa's conversation with Jihan Rowe. Neither minded, and they helped to console her. Then her miniature sand golem appeared and started stomping around, and captured the group's interest.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Jihan Rowe]] : This miqo'te was with C'sanhsa when Tikka came up and butted into their conversation. He took particular interest in Sandcastle, and attempted to posit some theories as to how such a thing could have come to be. Tikka still remains convinced that the golem comes as part of an elaborate curse placed upon her by the bugs. She IS getting too close, after all.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Star Flicker]] : Flick was once Gen's girlfriend, and is the mother of Gen's son, Shiro. Things have been rough between Tikka and Flick, with Flick often blaming Tikka for Gen not remaining faithful to her. Tikka has tried to be her friend, and hopes that one day Shiro will be allowed to play with his siblings, Tarra and Sumi.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Anton Borneheld]] : One of the first friends that Tikka made during her nightly carousing at the Quicksand, although he disappeared for a long period of time. When he returned again, she almost didn't recognize him, and almost certainly forgot his name. But they became reacquainted again at the grand ball in Ul'dah, where he made a habit of trying to follow her on her insane leaps off of the balconies. Tikka enjoys playing off of Anton's banter, and loves the way that his wit seems to stack with hers. She sees him as a potential partner in crime.

'''Chakha Tumet''' is an au ra mercenary and dark knight who hails from the Tumet tribe in Othard. She channels her inner darkness to fuel her magic, and to enhance her strikes with otherwise mundane weapons. She travels with her constant companion, the chocobo Ajirai. While most would underestimate the bird, they would do so at their own folly. Ajirai is fiercely loyal to Chakha, and has been trained as a vicious fighter. The pair often work in concert to take down tough opponents.

:

She is small even by her own race's standards. And for a martial combatant, her physique seems as though it would work against her. But Chakha uses this to her advantage, drawing people into underestimating her, before bolstering her abilities with the dark energy at her command.

Chakha prefers solitude, and when she is not working or tending to her weapons, she is often off meditating somewhere by herself. When in social settings, she does her best to remain polite. She speaks with a thick accent

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

She hails from the Tumet tribe. Her coming of age trial consisted of her being tied to a tree while the tribe packed up and left. She was always a survivor, and always had that tenacious inner drive. It was during her trial, though, that she first started getting in touch with her inner darkness.

Chakha found that she could channel her emotions into powerful magical effects. She wasn't the first dark knight that her tribe had ever seen, so she was quickly assigned a master and took to her training with a quiet eagerness. Her master taught her the dangers of succumbing too heavily to the darkness within. It had to be tempered, and so she learned meditation, to center herself and to keep her inner powers focused until they needed to be unleashed.

Soon, she was called before the elders. One of them had had a vision. She was to leave the tribe and locate an artifact of immense power. This artifact would help to punish the Garlean oppressors, and it would lead the Tumet tribe to greatness. The details she received of the artifact were sparse. But she was to find one with long slender ears and broken faith. This man would be the one to guide her to what she sought.

She took to wandering. Not long after she first left, she came across a group of bandits harassing and torturing a chocobo that they'd captured. Chakha drove the men away, and freed the captive chocobo. It took an immediate liking to her. She named it Ajirai, after one of her brothers who had died in a war with another tribe. The name proved fitting, as Ajirai soon demonstrated a warrior's spirit. Chakha started training him, teaching him to fight. And over the years, the pair became a force to be reckoned with.

Her travels took her to the lands of Ishgard. There, she came across an Ishgardian priest of Menphina who had been exiled from his order and needed to escape his homeland. He hired Chakha to protect him, and when she asked him, he claimed to be able to help her find the relic she was searching for. Chakha took the contract, and the pair made for the border to Mor Dhona.

Along the way, they were ambushed by Ishgardians. Chakha told Endrest to flee, and then cast a bolt of energy higher up the mountain to bring down a mound of ice. This triggered a chain reaction that led to an avalanche. Chakha and Endrest were separated -- she managed to take shelter in a network of tunnels that went deeper into the mountain. She pressed forward, and soon found her way to the other side.

She met up with Endrest again a short time after, when she was invited to join a group called the Radical Dreamers. As he still owed her for her assistance, he vowed to continue helping her to find her relic.

'''Chakha Tumet''' is an au ra mercenary and dark knight who hails from the Tumet tribe in Othard. She channels her inner darkness to fuel her magic, and to enhance her strikes with otherwise mundane weapons. She travels with her constant companion, the chocobo Ajirai. While most would underestimate the bird, they would do so at their own folly. Ajirai is fiercely loyal to Chakha, and has been trained as a vicious fighter. The pair often work in concert to take down tough opponents.

:

She is small even by her own race's standards. And for a martial combatant, her physique seems as though it would work against her. But Chakha uses this to her advantage, drawing people into underestimating her, before bolstering her abilities with the dark energy at her command.

Chakha prefers solitude, and when she is not working or tending to her weapons, she is often off meditating somewhere by herself. When in social settings, she does her best to remain polite. She speaks with a thick accent

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

She hails from the Tumet tribe. Her coming of age trial consisted of her being tied to a tree while the tribe packed up and left. She was always a survivor, and always had that tenacious inner drive. It was during her trial, though, that she first started getting in touch with her inner darkness.

Chakha found that she could channel her emotions into powerful magical effects. She wasn't the first dark knight that her tribe had ever seen, so she was quickly assigned a master and took to her training with a quiet eagerness. Her master taught her the dangers of succumbing too heavily to the darkness within. It had to be tempered, and so she learned meditation, to center herself and to keep her inner powers focused until they needed to be unleashed.

Soon, she was called before the elders. One of them had had a vision. She was to leave the tribe and locate an artifact of immense power. This artifact would help to punish the Garlean oppressors, and it would lead the Tumet tribe to greatness. The details she received of the artifact were sparse. But she was to find one with long slender ears and broken faith. This man would be the one to guide her to what she sought.

She took to wandering. Not long after she first left, she came across a group of bandits harassing and torturing a chocobo that they'd captured. Chakha drove the men away, and freed the captive chocobo. It took an immediate liking to her. She named it Ajirai, after one of her brothers who had died in a war with another tribe. The name proved fitting, as Ajirai soon demonstrated a warrior's spirit. Chakha started training him, teaching him to fight. And over the years, the pair became a force to be reckoned with.

Her travels took her to the lands of Ishgard. There, she came across an Ishgardian priest of Menphina who had been exiled from his order and needed to escape his homeland. He hired Chakha to protect him, and when she asked him, he claimed to be able to help her find the relic she was searching for. Chakha took the contract, and the pair made for the border to Mor Dhona.

Along the way, they were ambushed by Ishgardians. Chakha told Endrest to flee, and then cast a bolt of energy higher up the mountain to bring down a mound of ice. This triggered a chain reaction that led to an avalanche. Chakha and Endrest were separated -- she managed to take shelter in a network of tunnels that went deeper into the mountain.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Appearance & Personality</div>===
:
Sumari is a bright young woman with a positive outlook on life despite what she has experienced in the past. Her silver hair is kept in dreads, and her blue eyes shine with an inner light of intelligence. She is petite in build and, while not out of shape by any means, she has the physical build of someone who lets magic (or her brother) handle most of the heavy lifting. She loves intelligent conversation, but has no patience for boring people. She has a wild imagination, and often gets lost in her own stories and fabrications.

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

Sumari and her brother, Pyha'to, were both born and raised in the secret underground enclave of the Dusk Dancers. The Dusk Dancers was a group of rogues that operated independently of any of the larger thieves guilds based out of the three major Eorzean city-states. Their existence was tolerated due to their altruistic nature – their mission was to help anyone who came to them with problems which were too complicated to be handled by members of any local authorities.

Their mother and father had an open relationship with each other. When Sumari and Pyha'to were just babies, they were introduced to their half-sister, L'anya Kharja, who was the result of their father falling for a Seeker woman who was part of a more traditional Seeker tribe. L'tarra Khoran had to keep her visits to their group a secret, and her daughter was named in a traditional Seeker fashion, as she had to maintain the ruse that the baby's father was L'kharja Nunh, a man with influence within her tribe. Though visits were less than frequent, Sumari and Pyha'to accepted L'anya as their sibling and, as they grew older, the three played together whenever L'tarra brought little L'anya to visit.

Magical talent was seemingly absent in their family's bloodline on both sides of the family. Pyha'to and L'anya likewise showed no sign of mystical affinity, and everyone was certain that all three children would continue the family legacy. However, Sumari manifested her gifts at an early age, much to the surprise of everyone. Not only did she have a magical gift, but she had quite a strong innate talent. She was always accidentally setting something on fire, much to the delight of her half-sister, L'anya.

While her brother honed his martial skills on the practice fields, Sumari was instead inducted into the small cloister of mages that the Dusk Dancers kept in their enclave. She soon learned to direct and shape her magical energies, and discovered that she had a special affinity for destruction. Sumari also discovered that she enjoyed learning how things worked. In her spare time she often worked with the Dusk Dancer Engineering Corps, and helped to take things apart and put them back together again.

But her happy life within the enclave was soon to change. L'kharja Nunh soon discovered that L'tarra had been deceiving him about L'anya's origins. When he learned about the Dusk Dancers, and that L'anya's true father was one of their lieutenants, he couldn't let the insult stand. Accompanied by a group of assassins, he swept through the enclave, bringing murder and destruction in his wake.
Hanji'a and Pyha fought to keep their children safe, but they were each slain by L'kharja. Sumari and Pyha'to managed to escape, with L'anya in tow, but with the assassins right on their heels. As they neared the surface and it was clear that they were about to be overtaken, Pyha'to turned and stood fast, ready to buy Sumari and L'anya time to escape. Sumari refused to abandon her twin at first, but when she saw that L'anya wouldn't flee without her, she was left with no choice but to leave.

They fled into the forest, but Pyha'to's sacrifice hadn't given them much breathing room. They could hear the assassins closing in. The ground gave way beneath L'anya's feet and she tumbled down a steep embankment. Sumari couldn't catch her in time, and knew that if she went after her, they would both be overtaken. She stopped long enough to spot the assassins, sent a torrent of flame towards them, then took off in another direction in the hopes of leading them away from her half-sister.

The gambit worked and the assassins followed her through the forest. After an extended game of cat and mouse, she finally managed to evade her pursuers. She returned to search for L'anya but, as she closed in on where she'd last spotted her, she came across the mortally wounded form of L'kharja Nunh making his way through the forest. She confronted him, and he presented her with his bloody weapon, told her that he'd just killed her sister. Rage built up inside her and she was about to incinerate the vindictive nunh, when she heard his men approaching. Left with little choice, she fled back into the forest.
After some time had passed, she stealthily returned to the caves to search for survivors. Her parents were dead, as was everyone she had ever known. Sumari was about to give in to despair when, as she crossed a bridge leading towards the cavern's exit, she heard the muffled sounds of labored breathing coming from below. Sumari climbed down into the chasm beneath the bridge, and she discovered that Pyha'to was severely wounded, but still alive.

She managed to rig up a harness and help Pyha'to out of the chasm. He suggested that they return to bury the bodies, but Sumari reasoned that L'kharja likely had men stationed to watch the enclave, and there was no way that they could remove that many bodies without drawing attention to themselves. They fled to the city-state of Gridania, and she looked after her twin while he recovered from his wounds.
Once he was well again, they decided they needed a plan. They had very little coin to their name, which meant they needed to figure out a way to earn more. Sumari spotted a notice on a nearby board which listed escaped criminals in the area. With her brother's tracking skills and martial prowess and her own mystical talent, she reasoned that it would be an easy thing to track some of them down.
They became bounty hunters, a career which wound up making them some useful contacts. Although their past was behind them, Sumari and Pyha'to vowed to find L'kharja Nunh and bring him to justice – one way or the other.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Pyha'to Polaali]] : Sumari's twin brother. She shares a deep connection with him, and he is entirely too protective of her. As her last living family member (that she is aware of), the feeling is definitely mutual.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Tikka Swift]] : Known to her as L'anya, Sumari and her brother recently discovered that she was alive. However, before they were able to reunite with their half-sister, L'anya was abducted by L'kharja Nunh's men. Sumari and her brother worked alongside L'anya's various friends and allies to assault the cultists' island lair and rescue her.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Vanilla Wayfarer]] : Sumari met Vanilla shortly after L'anya's abduction. L'anya was one of Vanilla's best friends and the abduction hit her particularly hard, and she told Sumari that she felt weak and helpless. Sumari could identify with Vanilla's feelings, as she had gone through the same thing when she believed that L'kharja Nunh murdered her sister. She now feels a certain sense of responsibility towards the girl.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Arianne Soren]] : While looking for L'anya, Sumari showed Arianne a picture of her while at the Quicksand in Ul'dah. Arianne knew L'anya as Tikka Swift, but she feigned ignorance as she didn't know who Sumari was, and assumed that if someone was looking for Tikka, it was bad. Sumari has since learned that Arianne is a member of the Light Crusaders. She doesn't blame Arianne for her deception, but she does believe that if the woman had been more up front with her from the start, there is a chance that it may have prevented L'anya's kidnapping.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">●</font> [[Glow N'amownoc]] : The subject of one of the first bounty contracts that she and her brother accepted. This contract was also their first significant failure. However, while they failed to capture this elusive target, their target -- unintentionally or not -- led them to stumble across an underground slave trafficking ring that they were subsequently able to put a stop to. The bounty for capturing the criminals worked out to be more than Glow's was worth. As there is no longer a bounty on this individual that has been posted by anyone that she would care to work for, Sumari's feelings towards her are neutral.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Gen Quickpaw]] : Sumari met Gen once or twice after her sister's abduction, but she didn't really get to know him after she worked with him while investigating certain aspects of her sister's abduction. After a night of heavy drinking and a night of equally heavy passion, she's discovered that she gets along fairly well the with rogue.

: <font style="color:#F02311;" size="3">♥</font> [[Valkhiss Lasher]] : He was the mage responsible for creating the portal that enabled L'kharja Nunh's men to abduct her sister, L'anya. Sumari and Pyha'to tracked him down with the help of one of Valkhiss's angry ex girlfriends. They sought to capture him and needed to take their quarry down quickly due to the elusive nature of their prey. As such, Pye convinced Sumari to take an untested gadget into the field. The device worked, but it worked too well. It overloaded Lasher's nervous system and wiped his long term memory. When he came to, he was a different person. Although she didn't trust him at first, her time spent guarding him as caused Sumari to realize that the man Valkhiss is now is not the one that he once was. Her trust eventually grew into something more, and she now considers him someone that she cares for deeply. He has since used his magic to help Sumari and her allies rescue L'anya from the clutches of the cultists that abducted her. He has since vanished without a trance, and without any clues to his whereabouts. Sumari is only just now beginning to come to terms with the realization that he is gone.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Ashlee Quinn]] : Sumari met the hyuran girl shortly after the Dreamers moved into their new estate. Ashlee saw Sumari as a source of knowledge, a role that Sumari was happy to fill. She has since taken Ashlee under her wing as her apprentice, and has been teaching her facets of both magic and science. In return, Ashlee assists her around the lab and helps with her experiments.

: <font style="color:#F02311;" size="3">♥</font> [[Anton Borneheld]] : A hyuran man who was a friend of L'anya's, who joined the Radical Dreamers after reconnecting with her. He since took a position as company chef and martial arts trainer. Since Sumari often tends to neglect her body's nutritional needs due to being absorbed in her work, Anton took it upon himself to take care of her. She has since found herself becoming attached to him -- he treats her nice, and provides a source of comfort when she's lonely. In the wake of Valkhiss's disappearance, she's felt lonely often. They have recently decided that they are dating.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Appearance & Personality</div>===
:
Sumari is a bright young woman with a positive outlook on life despite what she has experienced in the past. Her silver hair is kept in dreads, and her blue eyes shine with an inner light of intelligence. She is petite in build and, while not out of shape by any means, she has the physical build of someone who lets magic (or her brother) handle most of the heavy lifting. She loves intelligent conversation, but has no patience for boring people. She has a wild imagination, and often gets lost in her own stories and fabrications.

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

Sumari and her brother, Pyha'to, were both born and raised in the secret underground enclave of the Dusk Dancers. The Dusk Dancers was a group of rogues that operated independently of any of the larger thieves guilds based out of the three major Eorzean city-states. Their existence was tolerated due to their altruistic nature – their mission was to help anyone who came to them with problems which were too complicated to be handled by members of any local authorities.

Their mother and father had an open relationship with each other. When Sumari and Pyha'to were just babies, they were introduced to their half-sister, L'anya Kharja, who was the result of their father falling for a Seeker woman who was part of a more traditional Seeker tribe. L'tarra Khoran had to keep her visits to their group a secret, and her daughter was named in a traditional Seeker fashion, as she had to maintain the ruse that the baby's father was L'kharja Nunh, a man with influence within her tribe. Though visits were less than frequent, Sumari and Pyha'to accepted L'anya as their sibling and, as they grew older, the three played together whenever L'tarra brought little L'anya to visit.

Magical talent was seemingly absent in their family's bloodline on both sides of the family. Pyha'to and L'anya likewise showed no sign of mystical affinity, and everyone was certain that all three children would continue the family legacy. However, Sumari manifested her gifts at an early age, much to the surprise of everyone. Not only did she have a magical gift, but she had quite a strong innate talent. She was always accidentally setting something on fire, much to the delight of her half-sister, L'anya.

While her brother honed his martial skills on the practice fields, Sumari was instead inducted into the small cloister of mages that the Dusk Dancers kept in their enclave. She soon learned to direct and shape her magical energies, and discovered that she had a special affinity for destruction. Sumari also discovered that she enjoyed learning how things worked. In her spare time she often worked with the Dusk Dancer Engineering Corps, and helped to take things apart and put them back together again.

But her happy life within the enclave was soon to change. L'kharja Nunh soon discovered that L'tarra had been deceiving him about L'anya's origins. When he learned about the Dusk Dancers, and that L'anya's true father was one of their lieutenants, he couldn't let the insult stand. Accompanied by a group of assassins, he swept through the enclave, bringing murder and destruction in his wake.
Hanji'a and Pyha fought to keep their children safe, but they were each slain by L'kharja. Sumari and Pyha'to managed to escape, with L'anya in tow, but with the assassins right on their heels. As they neared the surface and it was clear that they were about to be overtaken, Pyha'to turned and stood fast, ready to buy Sumari and L'anya time to escape. Sumari refused to abandon her twin at first, but when she saw that L'anya wouldn't flee without her, she was left with no choice but to leave.

They fled into the forest, but Pyha'to's sacrifice hadn't given them much breathing room. They could hear the assassins closing in. The ground gave way beneath L'anya's feet and she tumbled down a steep embankment. Sumari couldn't catch her in time, and knew that if she went after her, they would both be overtaken. She stopped long enough to spot the assassins, sent a torrent of flame towards them, then took off in another direction in the hopes of leading them away from her half-sister.

The gambit worked and the assassins followed her through the forest. After an extended game of cat and mouse, she finally managed to evade her pursuers. She returned to search for L'anya but, as she closed in on where she'd last spotted her, she came across the mortally wounded form of L'kharja Nunh making his way through the forest. She confronted him, and he presented her with his bloody weapon, told her that he'd just killed her sister. Rage built up inside her and she was about to incinerate the vindictive nunh, when she heard his men approaching. Left with little choice, she fled back into the forest.
After some time had passed, she stealthily returned to the caves to search for survivors. Her parents were dead, as was everyone she had ever known. Sumari was about to give in to despair when, as she crossed a bridge leading towards the cavern's exit, she heard the muffled sounds of labored breathing coming from below. Sumari climbed down into the chasm beneath the bridge, and she discovered that Pyha'to was severely wounded, but still alive.

They became bounty hunters, a career which wound up making them some useful contacts. Although their past was behind them, Sumari and Pyha'to vowed to find L'kharja Nunh and bring him to justice – one way or the other.

Sumari could identify with Vanilla's feelings, as she had gone through the same thing when she believed that L'kharja Nunh murdered her sister. She now feels a certain sense of responsibility towards the girl.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Arianne Soren]] : While looking for L'anya, Sumari showed Arianne a picture of her while at the Quicksand in Ul'dah. Arianne knew L'anya as Tikka Swift, but she feigned ignorance as she didn't know who Sumari was, and assumed that if someone was looking for Tikka, it was bad. Sumari has since learned that Arianne is a member of the Light Crusaders. She doesn't blame Arianne for her deception, but she does believe that if the woman had been more up front with her from the start, there is a chance that it may have prevented L'anya's kidnapping.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">●</font> [[Glow N'amownoc]] : The subject of one of the first bounty contracts that she and her brother accepted. This contract was also their first significant failure. However, while they failed to capture this elusive target, their target -- unintentionally or not -- led them to stumble across an underground slave trafficking ring that they were subsequently able to put a stop to. The bounty for capturing the criminals worked out to be more than Glow's was worth. As there is no longer a bounty on this individual that has been posted by anyone that she would care to work for, Sumari's feelings towards her are neutral.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Gen Quickpaw]] : Sumari met Gen once or twice after her sister's abduction, but she didn't really get to know him after she worked with him while investigating certain aspects of her sister's abduction. After a night of heavy drinking and a night of equally heavy passion, she's discovered that she gets along fairly well the with rogue.

: <font style="color:#F02311;" size="3">♥</font> [[Valkhiss Lasher]] : He was the mage responsible for creating the portal that enabled L'kharja Nunh's men to abduct her sister, L'anya. Sumari and Pyha'to tracked him down with the help of one of Valkhiss's angry ex girlfriends. They sought to capture him and needed to take their quarry down quickly due to the elusive nature of their prey. As such, Pye convinced Sumari to take an untested gadget into the field. The device worked, but it worked too well. It overloaded Lasher's nervous system and wiped his long term memory. When he came to, he was a different person. Although she didn't trust him at first, her time spent guarding him as caused Sumari to realize that the man Valkhiss is now is not the one that he once was. Her trust eventually grew into something more, and she now considers him someone that she cares for deeply. He has since used his magic to help Sumari and her allies rescue L'anya from the clutches of the cultists that abducted her. He has since vanished without a trance, and without any clues to his whereabouts. Sumari is only just now beginning to come to terms with the realization that he is gone.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Ashlee Quinn]] : Sumari met the hyuran girl shortly after the Dreamers moved into their new estate. Ashlee saw Sumari as a source of knowledge, a role that Sumari was happy to fill. She has since taken Ashlee under her wing as her apprentice, and has been teaching her facets of both magic and science. In return, Ashlee assists her around the lab and helps with her experiments.

: <font style="color:#F02311;" size="3">♥</font> [[Anton Borneheld]] : A hyuran man who was a friend of L'anya's, who joined the Radical Dreamers after reconnecting with her. He since took a position as company chef and martial arts trainer. Since Sumari often tends to neglect her body's nutritional needs due to being absorbed in her work, Anton took it upon himself to take care of her. She has since found herself becoming attached to him -- he treats her nice, and provides a source of comfort when she's lonely. In the wake of Valkhiss's disappearance, she's felt lonely often. They have recently decided that they are dating.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Appearance & Personality</div>===
:
Pyha'to is a young man who has seen more than someone his age should have. Though he maintains a normally calm and easy-going demeanor, it isn't hard to tell that his gaze his haunted by memories of his past. Neither tall nor short, he stands as an average example of his species, and his athletic build hints at someone who spends much of his time on the practice field. He walks with precision and confidence, though without any sign of arrogance.

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

Pyha'to and his sister, Sumari, were both born and raised in the secret underground enclave of the Dusk Dancers. The Dusk Dancers was a group of rogues that operated independently of any of the larger thieves guilds based out of the three major Eorzean city-states. Their existence was tolerated due to their altruistic nature – their mission was to help anyone who came to them with problems which were too complicated to be handled by members of any local authorities.

Their mother and father had an open relationship with each other. When Pyha'to and Sumari were just babies, they were introduced to their half-sister, L'anya Kharja, who was the result of their father falling for a Seeker woman who was part of a more traditional Seeker tribe. L'tarra Khoran had to keep her visits to their group a secret, and her daughter was named in a traditional Seeker fashion, as she had to maintain the ruse that the baby's father was L'kharja Nunh, a man with influence within her tribe. Though visits were less than frequent, Pyha'to and Sumari accepted L'anya as their sibling and, as they grew older, the three played together whenever L'tarra brought little L'anya to visit.

The caverns their group inhabited were located within the Shroud. They were an expansive network of tunnels, and were crisscrossed with underground streams and waterfalls. For two young children, these proved irresistible to explore. Pyha'to and Sumari (along with any of the other Dusk Dancer children who wished to tag along, or L'anya if she was currently visiting) had their own series of adventures within those tunnels – they held off hordes of monsters, saved countless princesses (and princes, at Sumari's insistence), their adventure limited only by the scope of their imaginations.

When he was old enough, Pyha'to began learning skills which would be useful to the group. He spent much time in the outdoors with the group's hunters and trackers. He loved the outdoors, loved the wilderness. He learned how to read signs from sets of tracks, how to stalk prey, and how to set up useful traps. Once he was big enough to wield a weapon, he found himself gravitating towards the longspear as his weapon of choice, though he also received training in a number of different weapons, and was also trained in a variety of unarmed fighting techniques.

L'anya often watched him train, though her mother was reluctant to let her join in. Pyha'to argued that she should learn how to defend herself. With L'tarra watching, he showed L'anya the basics. He was only a novice himself, but L'tarra quickly realized how valuable such instruction was. She asked if Pyha'to could convince his father to teach her daughter as well. Hanji'a had been reluctant to provide training, since he didn't want to endanger L'anya if L'kharja Nunh discovered her skills and found out where she had learned them. However, in the end Pyha'to convinced his father that L'anya would only be safer if she knew how to fight, and soon L'anya started practicing with the group's young trainees whenever she came to visit.

In the end, L'kharja Nunh eventually did discover the true origins of his “daughter”. While L'anya mostly appeared to be a Seeker, there were hints at her half-breed heritage. L'kharja had spies watching L'tarra and despite her caution, her meetings with the Dusk Dancers were discovered. L'kharja was out for revenge. For years he had been made to look like a fool. He hired a band of assassins and, accompanying them to the Dusk Dancer enclave, he began murdering any that he believed were implicit in this deception. They swept through the caverns, murdering men and women alike, slaughtering children.

Hanji'a and Pyha were each slain by the vindictive nunh, though not before urging their children to flee. They stole through the caverns, hounded by L'kharja and his assassins. Just before they reached the surface, it became obvious that they were going to be overtaken. Pyha'to urged Sumari and L'anya onwards, then turned to buy them some time.

Sumari turned to stay but, when she saw L'anya do the same, she was left with little choice but to flee with her younger sister. Pyha'to fought bravely and, while he possessed a fierce warrior spirit, he was still just a novice and no match for a band of trained assassins. Still, he was able to occupy them long enough while his sisters slipped away.

During the fight, Pyha'to was knocked off a rickety wooden bridge that spanned a gap in the canyon. He was knocked unconscious and left for dead by the assassins. When he finally awoke, he was being cared for by Sumari. It was then that she told him the sad truth – though she'd done her best to keep L'anya safe, they had gotten separated in the forest. By the time she'd managed to evade her own pursuers and had gone back to search for her sister, she came across L'kharja Nunh. He was bleeding, mortally wounded. When she had confronted him, he held up his bloody weapon and sneered. L'anya was dead. Sumari was about to attack, to end the man's life, when she heard the assassins closing in once again. She had no choice but to turn and flee. At least L'kharja was in no condition to go after her.

Sumari helped Pyha'to out of the chasm. While Pyha'to wanted to go back and bury the bodies, Sumari reasoned that they couldn't return so soon after the attack – it would surely be under some sort of watch. The pair left their home behind and traveled to the nearby city-state of Gridania.

After he had recovered, Pyha'to became obsessed with revenge. He strove constantly to better himself, working on his skills and honing his abilities. To earn enough coin to get by, both he and his sister became bounty hunters – tracking down escaped criminals and wanted targets, and returning them to whomever was funding the contract. This line of work enabled him to create a network of informants, which he has steadily been using to gather information on L'kharja Nunh and his allies.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Developments</div>===
:
: ● Has recently learned through his contacts that his half-sister, L'anya, may still be alive.

: ● Pyha'to and his sister followed the movements of L'kharja's men, and recently discovered them converging on an area in Mist. Pyha'to found L'anya there but, when he confronted her, she fled -- likely assuming that he was working with some form of local law enforcement. He tailed her to the company headquarters of the Light Crusaders, and arrived just in time for L'kharja's men to ambush L'anya. Pyha'to and several of the Light Crusader members rushed to her aid, but were unable to prevent them from abducting her.

: ● The culmination of many months of effort and planning enabled Pye and his allies to track down where L'kharja had taken L'anya. In the time since Pyha'to had known L'kharja, the man had grown in power and influence. He was now a high ranking cultist, working for a primal cult known as the Eyes of Zzahg'ghazz -- a group who intend to summon their insect god, the 'Singing Lord of Shadows' to Eorzea. They were based in a volcano lair about a day's travel by airship off the coast of Limsa Lominsa. Pye and his allies infiltrated the stronghold via a special aetheryte they'd gained access to, while a fleet sent by the Maelstrom engaged the cultists in a frontal assault. They managed to find L'anya, who had been brainwashed and turned into a magitek-augmented assassin, and subdued her. They fought against L'kharja as well, but before they could land the killing blow, he managed to escape.

With his newfound friends from the Radical Dreamers, he launched an assault on the cultists' island and freed her.

The bounty for capturing the criminals worked out to be more than Glow's was worth. As there is no longer a bounty on this individual that has been posted by anyone that he would care to work for, Pyha'to was willing to let her go with no hard feelings.

To this end, Pye convinced Sumari to use an untested device that she had created, to aid in his capture. The device worked, but arguably too well. It overloaded Valkhiss's central nervous system, rendered him unconscious, but then wiped his long term memories. When he awoke, he had no memory of who he was, and his interrogation yielded nothing that could help them in finding L'anya. Pye doesn't trust Lasher, not as far as he can throw the man. But his sister has convinced him that they need him alive. For the time being, Pye has left his care in Sumari's hands, because he knows that if he gets too close, bad things will happen.

The cultist had gotten advantage over him and was about to knock him into the abyss, when Garnet came to his aid and saved his life. The two spent the night together, and Pye felt an immediate sort of attraction to her -- an attraction that continued even after learning of her true heritage. Garnet wound up pregnant with his child and, while neither of them had any real intention of pursuing a romantic relationship with one another, they have remained friends.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Appearance & Personality</div>===
:
Pyha'to is a young man who has seen more than someone his age should have. Though he maintains a normally calm and easy-going demeanor, it isn't hard to tell that his gaze his haunted by memories of his past. Neither tall nor short, he stands as an average example of his species, and his athletic build hints at someone who spends much of his time on the practice field. He walks with precision and confidence, though without any sign of arrogance.

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

Pyha'to and his sister, Sumari, were both born and raised in the secret underground enclave of the Dusk Dancers. The Dusk Dancers was a group of rogues that operated independently of any of the larger thieves guilds based out of the three major Eorzean city-states. Their existence was tolerated due to their altruistic nature – their mission was to help anyone who came to them with problems which were too complicated to be handled by members of any local authorities.

Their mother and father had an open relationship with each other. When Pyha'to and Sumari were just babies, they were introduced to their half-sister, L'anya Kharja, who was the result of their father falling for a Seeker woman who was part of a more traditional Seeker tribe. L'tarra Khoran had to keep her visits to their group a secret, and her daughter was named in a traditional Seeker fashion, as she had to maintain the ruse that the baby's father was L'kharja Nunh, a man with influence within her tribe. Though visits were less than frequent, Pyha'to and Sumari accepted L'anya as their sibling and, as they grew older, the three played together whenever L'tarra brought little L'anya to visit.

The caverns their group inhabited were located within the Shroud. They were an expansive network of tunnels, and were crisscrossed with underground streams and waterfalls. For two young children, these proved irresistible to explore. Pyha'to and Sumari (along with any of the other Dusk Dancer children who wished to tag along, or L'anya if she was currently visiting) had their own series of adventures within those tunnels – they held off hordes of monsters, saved countless princesses (and princes, at Sumari's insistence), their adventure limited only by the scope of their imaginations.

When he was old enough, Pyha'to began learning skills which would be useful to the group. He spent much time in the outdoors with the group's hunters and trackers. He loved the outdoors, loved the wilderness. He learned how to read signs from sets of tracks, how to stalk prey, and how to set up useful traps. Once he was big enough to wield a weapon, he found himself gravitating towards the longspear as his weapon of choice, though he also received training in a number of different weapons, and was also trained in a variety of unarmed fighting techniques.

L'anya often watched him train, though her mother was reluctant to let her join in. Pyha'to argued that she should learn how to defend herself. With L'tarra watching, he showed L'anya the basics. He was only a novice himself, but L'tarra quickly realized how valuable such instruction was. She asked if Pyha'to could convince his father to teach her daughter as well. Hanji'a had been reluctant to provide training, since he didn't want to endanger L'anya if L'kharja Nunh discovered her skills and found out where she had learned them. However, in the end Pyha'to convinced his father that L'anya would only be safer if she knew how to fight, and soon L'anya started practicing with the group's young trainees whenever she came to visit.

In the end, L'kharja Nunh eventually did discover the true origins of his “daughter”. While L'anya mostly appeared to be a Seeker, there were hints at her half-breed heritage. L'kharja had spies watching L'tarra and despite her caution, her meetings with the Dusk Dancers were discovered. L'kharja was out for revenge. For years he had been made to look like a fool. He hired a band of assassins and, accompanying them to the Dusk Dancer enclave, he began murdering any that he believed were implicit in this deception. They swept through the caverns, murdering men and women alike, slaughtering children.

Hanji'a and Pyha were each slain by the vindictive nunh, though not before urging their children to flee. They stole through the caverns, hounded by L'kharja and his assassins. Just before they reached the surface, it became obvious that they were going to be overtaken. Pyha'to urged Sumari and L'anya onwards, then turned to buy them some time.

Sumari turned to stay but, when she saw L'anya do the same, she was left with little choice but to flee with her younger sister. Pyha'to fought bravely and, while he possessed a fierce warrior spirit, he was still just a novice and no match for a band of trained assassins. Still, he was able to occupy them long enough while his sisters slipped away.

During the fight, Pyha'to was knocked off a rickety wooden bridge that spanned a gap in the canyon. He was knocked unconscious and left for dead by the assassins. When he finally awoke, he was being cared for by Sumari. It was then that she told him the sad truth – though she'd done her best to keep L'anya safe, they had gotten separated in the forest. By the time she'd managed to evade her own pursuers and had gone back to search for her sister, she came across L'kharja Nunh. He was bleeding, mortally wounded. When she had confronted him, he held up his bloody weapon and sneered. L'anya was dead. Sumari was about to attack, to end the man's life, when she heard the assassins closing in once again. She had no choice but to turn and flee. At least L'kharja was in no condition to go after her.

Sumari helped Pyha'to out of the chasm. While Pyha'to wanted to go back and bury the bodies, Sumari reasoned that they couldn't return so soon after the attack – it would surely be under some sort of watch. The pair left their home behind and traveled to the nearby city-state of Gridania.

After he had recovered, Pyha'to became obsessed with revenge. He strove constantly to better himself, working on his skills and honing his abilities. To earn enough coin to get by, both he and his sister became bounty hunters – tracking down escaped criminals and wanted targets, and returning them to whomever was funding the contract. This line of work enabled him to create a network of informants, which he has steadily been using to gather information on L'kharja Nunh and his allies.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Developments</div>===
:
: ● Has recently learned through his contacts that his half-sister, L'anya, may still be alive.

: ● Pyha'to and his sister followed the movements of L'kharja's men, and recently discovered them converging on an area in Mist. Pyha'to found L'anya there but, when he confronted her, she fled -- likely assuming that he was working with some form of local law enforcement. He tailed her to the company headquarters of the Light Crusaders, and arrived just in time for L'kharja's men to ambush L'anya. Pyha'to and several of the Light Crusader members rushed to her aid, but were unable to prevent them from abducting her.

: ● The culmination of many months of effort and planning enabled Pye and his allies to track down where L'kharja had taken L'anya. In the time since Pyha'to had known L'kharja, the man had grown in power and influence. He was now a high ranking cultist, working for a primal cult known as the Eyes of Zzahg'ghazz -- a group who intend to summon their insect god, the 'Singing Lord of Shadows' to Eorzea. They were based in a volcano lair about a day's travel by airship off the coast of Limsa Lominsa. Pye and his allies infiltrated the stronghold via a special aetheryte they'd gained access to, while a fleet sent by the Maelstrom engaged the cultists in a frontal assault. They managed to find L'anya, who had been brainwashed and turned into a magitek-augmented assassin, and subdued her. They fought against L'kharja as well, but before they could land the killing blow, he managed to escape.

The bounty for capturing the criminals worked out to be more than Glow's was worth. As there is no longer a bounty on this individual that has been posted by anyone that he would care to work for, Pyha'to was willing to let her go with no hard feelings.

To this end, Pye convinced Sumari to use an untested device that she had created, to aid in his capture. The device worked, but arguably too well. It overloaded Valkhiss's central nervous system, rendered him unconscious, but then wiped his long term memories. When he awoke, he had no memory of who he was, and his interrogation yielded nothing that could help them in finding L'anya. Pye doesn't trust Lasher, not as far as he can throw the man. But his sister has convinced him that they need him alive. For the time being, Pye has left his care in Sumari's hands, because he knows that if he gets too close, bad things will happen.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Garnet Rayn]] : Pyha'to met this enigmantic woman from Garlemond while he was battling a cultist near Highbridge. The cultist had gotten advantage over him and was about to knock him into the abyss, when Garnet came to his aid and saved his life. The two spent the night together, and Pye felt an immediate sort of attraction to her -- an attraction that continued even after learning of her true heritage. Garnet wound up pregnant with his child and, while neither of them had any real intention of pursuing a romantic relationship with one another, they have remained friends.

'''Tikka Swift''', sometimes known as "Tabitha Emberfury", sometimes known as "Princess", sometimes known as "Hey, you, stop burning things!" is a miqo'te thief and street rat who has no current permanent place of residence. During the day, she can often be found on the streets of Ul'dah, performing elaborate feats of stage magic and acrobatics in order to draw crowds of marks to make for easy pickpocketing. At night, she plies her trade across the rooftops of the city, testing her lockpicking, safecracking, and trapfinding skills out in the homes of various unsuspecting noblemen. It has recently been discovered that her birth name is L'anya Kharja. Given that she's also learned that L'Kharja Nunh is not only NOT her real father, but he's the one who murdered her family, Tikka has decided that her *real* birth name is L'anya Polaali. Recently, she has married Gen Quickpaw and has appended her name with his last name, now calling herself L'anya Polaali Quickpaw.

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

Tikka is an acrobat and it shows through her build. While not overly strong, she is extremely agile and dextrous. She has a small frame and is very light, but uses that to her advantage, both to throw people off guard and to throw herself around. Her hair is a mix of red and white, though the white highlights are a natural coloration rather than a dye job. Her eyes are perhaps her most striking feature, a vivid green that often shimmer with energy and youthful exuberance. Although the young thief appears to be a Seeker, a clue to her hybrid heritage is in her slightly elongated canines -- which are far more pronounced than a Seeker's should be.

A hedonist at heart, Tikka lives a wild and crazy lifestyle. She acts on impulse, and does what she feels like doing at any given time, without any heed to potential consequences. She enjoys being random, a trait that often convinces people that she's actually at least partially insane. Plus she is generally high on sugar cubes, and that contributes significantly to her hyperactivity.

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

Tikka's mother was part of the Viper ( L ) tribe, and was one consort of many for one of the tribe's nunh's. She got pregnant by a Keeper rogue that she had fallen in love with. Since things would be bad if anyone ever found out the truth, she did her best to trick the nunh into thinking that the baby was his. Fortunately, Tikka was born with mostly Seeker features, save for her elongated canines and heightened sense of nightvision. She continued her relationship with the Keeper, and often brought Tikka to meet her real father in secret.

When she was old enough, her father started teaching her rogue skills, and she hung out with him and his group. It was because of this continued interaction that the nunh of her tribe eventually found out about the truth. He tried to have Tikka and her mother killed, but Tikka's father and his band of rogues swooped in to pull them out of danger. However, the insult would not stand, and the nunh gathered up men of his own. They pursued the band and, during the battle, Tikka's parents (along with most of the rogues) were killed.

But before they died, they urged Tikka to escape. The young rogue ran for her life, but the nunh soon caught up to her. They fought, and he beat her to within an inch of her life. But before he could land the final blow, she struck him with a knife just below the heart. His own blow proved a glancing one, but it bounced her head off a rock and Tikka went unconscious. Leaving her dying, the nunh retreated to seek medical aid -- he couldn't tell anyone the truth of what had happened, for fear of what would happen to his status if it became known that he was nearly killed by not only a female, but a female child.

Soon afterwards, Tikka was discovered by a traveling band of mercenaries -- Louis, Reis, and Shin. The trio of adventurers took her in and nursed her back to health. But after she had recovered, Tikka recalled nothing of her former life. The adventurers invited her to join them. Since she couldn't remember her name, they helped her think of one. Louis started to train her to defend herself, but when he did so, he soon discovered that she had several innate talents related to thievery. He called her 'Swift', because she was innately fast on her feet and quick fingered. Her role within the group determined, she set off with the trio in search of adventure.

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

: ● Had her heart broken in a relationship with Sparrow. Until she met him, Tikka had never loved anyone before, at least not as far as she could remember. She'd been with a lot of guys, and had certainly felt attraction. But she'd never even considered becoming exclusive with someone. That's why it was so much harder for her when it turned out that he was in love with someone else. This relationship has had a huge impact on Tikka. She has withdrawn, choosing to distance herself even further from people emotionally. She has also found comfort in the bottle, deciding that being drunk all the time keeps her mind from wandering back to the comfort she'd found in his arms.

: ● During a beach party, Tikka was refusing to go into the water to join the rest of her friends due to her fear of sharks. Instead, she stubbornly camped out on the beach and built herself a sand castle. After awhile the others managed to coax her out to join them. For unknown reasons, the sand castle animated and became a sort of miniature sand golem. From that moment, it started following her around like it was somehow connected to her. She cannot currently figure out a way to rid herself of this construct. She has tried smashing it, slicing it into pieces, dropping it from high altitude, burning it, and having mages throw magic at it. It has thus far managed to reconstruct itself each time. She has since named it 'Sandcastle' and treats it like an annoying pet. Her theory is that someone who doesn't like her placed some sort of a curse on her. Currently, in order to give herself a few moments of freedom from it, she has taken to bursting it apart into tiny pieces, putting the pieces into separate containers, filling them with water, and sealing them. Each time, Sandcastle has somehow managed to escape, reform, and locate her again. How long this process takes seems to vary from a few hours to a few days.

: ● Tikka has recently been hired to help rig some fights run by her friends Yorric, Ari, and Gen. They figured that with her charisma and her enthusiasm she would have no trouble whipping up crowds into a frenzy, causing them to bet on their fighters, who would then throw the match. It's become a profitable arrangement for all parties involved. Plus Tikka has gotten lots of pretty gems and sugar cubes out of the deal.

: ● She kept a secret stash of her belongings and stolen goods at her room at the Quicksand. Recently, her room exploded and a group of unknown assailants attacked her and Yorric. There were no survivors amongst the assailants, and there were no identifying marks that might indicate their origin. The explosion was confined mostly to her room, with just a bit of damage to surrounding rooms. The wall in which her window was placed was pretty much blown wide open. Until she's able to secure a new base of operations, Tikka's current status is mobile, and she's relying on her set of emergency caches scattered throughout the major cities. Update: Her friend Cookie (Vanilla Wayfarer) offered to share her room with Tikka, thus solving her housing situation.

: ● Tikka, Glow, Gen, Yorric, and Ari perpetrated an intricately planned heist and stole millions of gil worth of artwork from an art auction in Ul'dah. They are currently sitting on this now hidden stash, preparing to sell it later.

: ● Armed assailants working for L'kharja Nunh tracked Tikka down to the headquarters of the Light Crusaders. They managed to render her unconscious and, despite the valiant efforts of her friends and company members, she was abducted and taken away to an unknown location. Tikka's half-brother, Pyha'to, and half-sister, Sumari, had been tracking L'kharja's men and wound up locating her just before she was kidnapped -- Tikka hadn't recognized either of them, and had fled from Pyha'to when he confronted her. Tikka's real name was revealed to be L'anya Kharja.

: ● Tikka spent many months in captivity. She was held by a group of cultists known as the Eyes of Zzahg'ghazz. They were a primal cult, based in a volcano lair about a day and a half's travel by airship from the shores of Limsa Lominsa. They were gathering crystals, intending to summon their insect god, the "Singing Lord of Shadows". Tikka was indoctrinated through the use of a special serum. She was given various magitek augments, and turned into a brainwashed assassin for the cult. She had her baby while in captivity, and L'kharja cruelly named it 'L'tarra', after Tikka's mother. He fully intended to raise L'tarra to worship Zzahg'ghazz as well. But thanks to the timely intervention of Tikka's friends and allies, and her brother and sister, Tikka was rescued from the cult and given an antidote to the indoctrination serum that had claimed her. While she had no memory of her time spent with the cultists, she catches glimpses in nightmares. Her baby was rescued from the clutches of the cultists as well. When she was introduced to her child by the father, Gen, Tikka dropped the L from the baby's name, and decided to call her Tarra Swiftpaw.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Ninja Lou]] : One of the members of the adventuring band who first discovered her and nursed her back to health. Louis has been a brother figure and a friend to her, and has helped her regain her fighting skills. Although she respects him and loves him like she would a real brother, she often enjoys helping herself to his coin purse, and challenging herself to see what else she can take without him noticing.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Shin Lightbringer]] : Another of the adventuring trio who saved her. Shin was a good friend to Tikka, until a night of indiscretion turned things awkward. Shin mistook their night of fun for something more, and was ashamed of himself. He disappeared, and she hasn't seen him since. Although she worries about him, she also feels that he overreacted.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Reis Ravenhart]] : Louis's wife, Reis has been a big sister figure to Tikka. While she tends to poke fun at Louis and generally makes him the butt of her jokes, Reis is the one that she respects the most. Lately Tikka has been training with a variety of different weapons under her tutelage, in order to enhance her versatility.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Glow N'amownoc]] : Although Tikka doesn't know Glow's true name, referring to her only by the nickname "Blueberry", she has become fast friends with the Keeper from the day they first met. Blueberry is another thief, and an often partner in crime. Tikka likes her a great deal, and often responds to the alias "Princess" that Blueberry has given her.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Vanilla Wayfarer]] : Vanilla aka "Cookie" is currently one of the few people who knows the real person behind the mask. She has become a person that Tikka can confide in, and Tikka views the Seeker as a close friend.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Haru Hattori]] : For a brief time, Tikka was head of security in the KHFNNDB (Keep Haru From Not Not Dying Brigade). Although she knows little about the lalafell, she knows that Haru is a member of the guard and isn't one in whom to confide her more illicit activities. Nevertheless, Haru has a great sense of humor, and Tikka has had plenty of fun playing around with her in the Quicksand.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Rhoe'a Lihzeh]] : While not truly an item, Tikka has spent more than one night with this dark skinned Keeper. She considers him a friend, and sometimes more than that, though she doubts it could ever develop into anything serious.

: <font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">♥</font> [[Gen Quickpaw]] : The love of her life and her soulmate, Tikka first met Gen during a drunken night at the Quicksand, with what both of them thought was going to be a one night stand. They wound up becoming fast friends and, after much drama and heartache, the pair have finally made it official and tied the knot. She's had three children with him, her daughters Tarra, Sumi, and Rana. It's her plan to have eight children total, so they still have a ways to go.

: <font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">♥</font> [[Kiipa Nulstat]] : Doctor of Might and Magitek, Kiipa has delivered two out of Tikka's three babies. Kiipa is involved in a relationship with Gen, a relationship that Tikka only encourages. If only because she enjoys snuggling up with Kiipa on the nights when she sleeps over.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Aurus Faith]] : This innocent young Keeper is another friend of Tikka's that went from platonic to "friends with benefits". Her room at the inn was a mess, and so when she found out that Aurus was a general laborer, she enlisted his services as what amounted to basically her live-in maid. She pays him a fair wage, calls him her "Swabbie", and lets him stay in her room -- which she hardly ever occupies. Though the times when she *is* around, she has nothing against sharing her bed.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Rashaka Larola]] : This older lalafell quickly became a father figure of sorts to Tikka. He was the first that she confided in about her dual identity, and she holds a certain affection for him.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">●</font> [[Lynn'wo Vahnal]] : Lynn'wo "Sparrow" Vahnal was the first man that Tikka had ever truly loved. The pair had hit it off immediately. They were an impressive comedy duo, and partners in crime. They often talked about investing in a ship together to sail the world, one that they would name 'Ted'. She took off her mask for him, let him see her real self both physically and emotionally. He reciprocated by tearing out her heart and leaving her for another woman, leaving Tikka crestfallen and defeated. When her mask went back on, she vowed that she would never leave herself that vulnerable again. While she is still upset over the whole issue, she has decided that if Sparrow sends her rogue related work, she'd be more than happy to accept it. After all, emotion has no place in business. Even after their break, she had feelings for him for a long time. Things have cooled now, though, and Tikka has moved on with her life.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Misha Jinhri]] : The woman that Sparrow left her for, Misha tried apologizing to Tikka for the whole fiasco. At first, Tikka viewed the apology as a veiled attempt to gloat over her victory and, despite the woman's offer of friendship, decided she wanted to have nothing further to do with her. She blamed her for Sparrow leaving her more than she blamed Sparrow himself, perhaps blinded by the feelings she had for him. Her anger towards Misha has long since passed now, however. And after spending time with Misha, she realized that this was someone that she could be friends with. Tikka has recently started hosting weekly bow training sessions for Misha, to help her friend hone her own abilities.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Yorric Lesh]] : Tikka's latest business associate. She doesn't know much about this man other than he seems to know how to run a good scam. She has recently agreed to help him with a shady arrangement, and he won serious points with her when he provided advance payment in the form of sparkly gems and sugar cubes. And as everyone knows, TikkaPoints(tm) are one of the most valuable commodities in all of Eorzea.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Reza'li Kaahn]] : She hooked up with this Keeper for what she'd intended to be a one night stand. However, her interest was piqued when he not only drew sketches of her, but he had a proclivity towards burning things. And Tikka likes fire.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">●</font> [[Flynt Knoltros]] : Tikka met this miqo'te only a couple of occasions, but he was fun enough to converse with. On their first meeting, she'd convinced him to leave the Quicksands with her. He believed he was being led into an ambush, so he secretly contacted a friend of his to shadow their progress. When Tikka found out that he thought she was setting him up to rob him, she was both amused and disappointed -- she was sure she projected a less shadier image than that.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Arianne Soren]] : Tikka has grown a lot more fond of Ari in a short amount of time. While she still doesn't know a whole lot about her, she enjoys Ari's attitude, the way she's nicknamed Tikka "Squirrel", and she feels a genuine sort of affection for the woman. She views her as someone that she can confide in.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[C'sanhsa Tia]] : She met this miqo'te in one of the rare times when she had her mask off in the Quicksand. Fresh from her breakup with Sparrow, and needing an excuse to abandon a really bad conversation with a rude hyur, she went up and butted into C'sanhsa's conversation with Jihan Rowe. Neither minded, and they helped to console her. Then her miniature sand golem appeared and started stomping around, and captured the group's interest.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Jihan Rowe]] : This miqo'te was with C'sanhsa when Tikka came up and butted into their conversation. He took particular interest in Sandcastle, and attempted to posit some theories as to how such a thing could have come to be. Tikka still remains convinced that the golem comes as part of an elaborate curse placed upon her by the bugs. She IS getting too close, after all.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Star Flicker]] : Flick was once Gen's girlfriend, and is the mother of Gen's son, Shio. Things have been rough between Tikka and Flick, with Flick often blaming Tikka for Gen not remaining faithful to her. Tikka has tried to be her friend, and hopes that one day Shio will be allowed to play with his siblings, Tarra and Sumi.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Anton Borneheld]] : One of the first friends that Tikka made during her nightly carousing at the Quicksand, although he disappeared for a long period of time. When he returned again, she almost didn't recognize him, and almost certainly forgot his name. But they became reacquainted again at the grand ball in Ul'dah, where he made a habit of trying to follow her on her insane leaps off of the balconies. Tikka enjoys playing off of Anton's banter, and loves the way that his wit seems to stack with hers. She sees him as a potential partner in crime.

'''Tikka Swift''', sometimes known as "Tabitha Emberfury", sometimes known as "Princess", sometimes known as "Hey, you, stop burning things!" is a miqo'te thief and street rat who has no current permanent place of residence. During the day, she can often be found on the streets of Ul'dah, performing elaborate feats of stage magic and acrobatics in order to draw crowds of marks to make for easy pickpocketing. At night, she plies her trade across the rooftops of the city, testing her lockpicking, safecracking, and trapfinding skills out in the homes of various unsuspecting noblemen. It has recently been discovered that her birth name is L'anya Kharja. Given that she's also learned that L'Kharja Nunh is not only NOT her real father, but he's the one who murdered her family, Tikka has decided that her *real* birth name is L'anya Polaali. Recently, she has married Gen Quickpaw and has appended her name with his last name, now calling herself L'anya Polaali Quickpaw.

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

Tikka is an acrobat and it shows through her build. While not overly strong, she is extremely agile and dextrous. She has a small frame and is very light, but uses that to her advantage, both to throw people off guard and to throw herself around. Her hair is a mix of red and white, though the white highlights are a natural coloration rather than a dye job. Her eyes are perhaps her most striking feature, a vivid green that often shimmer with energy and youthful exuberance. Although the young thief appears to be a Seeker, a clue to her hybrid heritage is in her slightly elongated canines -- which are far more pronounced than a Seeker's should be.

A hedonist at heart, Tikka lives a wild and crazy lifestyle. She acts on impulse, and does what she feels like doing at any given time, without any heed to potential consequences. She enjoys being random, a trait that often convinces people that she's actually at least partially insane. Plus she is generally high on sugar cubes, and that contributes significantly to her hyperactivity.

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

Tikka's mother was part of the Viper ( L ) tribe, and was one consort of many for one of the tribe's nunh's. She got pregnant by a Keeper rogue that she had fallen in love with. Since things would be bad if anyone ever found out the truth, she did her best to trick the nunh into thinking that the baby was his. Fortunately, Tikka was born with mostly Seeker features, save for her elongated canines and heightened sense of nightvision. She continued her relationship with the Keeper, and often brought Tikka to meet her real father in secret.

When she was old enough, her father started teaching her rogue skills, and she hung out with him and his group. It was because of this continued interaction that the nunh of her tribe eventually found out about the truth. He tried to have Tikka and her mother killed, but Tikka's father and his band of rogues swooped in to pull them out of danger. However, the insult would not stand, and the nunh gathered up men of his own. They pursued the band and, during the battle, Tikka's parents (along with most of the rogues) were killed.

But before they died, they urged Tikka to escape. The young rogue ran for her life, but the nunh soon caught up to her. They fought, and he beat her to within an inch of her life. But before he could land the final blow, she struck him with a knife just below the heart. His own blow proved a glancing one, but it bounced her head off a rock and Tikka went unconscious. Leaving her dying, the nunh retreated to seek medical aid -- he couldn't tell anyone the truth of what had happened, for fear of what would happen to his status if it became known that he was nearly killed by not only a female, but a female child.

Soon afterwards, Tikka was discovered by a traveling band of mercenaries -- Louis, Reis, and Shin. The trio of adventurers took her in and nursed her back to health. But after she had recovered, Tikka recalled nothing of her former life. The adventurers invited her to join them. Since she couldn't remember her name, they helped her think of one. Louis started to train her to defend herself, but when he did so, he soon discovered that she had several innate talents related to thievery. He called her 'Swift', because she was innately fast on her feet and quick fingered. Her role within the group determined, she set off with the trio in search of adventure.

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

: ● Had her heart broken in a relationship with Sparrow. Until she met him, Tikka had never loved anyone before, at least not as far as she could remember. She'd been with a lot of guys, and had certainly felt attraction. But she'd never even considered becoming exclusive with someone. That's why it was so much harder for her when it turned out that he was in love with someone else. This relationship has had a huge impact on Tikka. She has withdrawn, choosing to distance herself even further from people emotionally. She has also found comfort in the bottle, deciding that being drunk all the time keeps her mind from wandering back to the comfort she'd found in his arms.

: ● During a beach party, Tikka was refusing to go into the water to join the rest of her friends due to her fear of sharks. Instead, she stubbornly camped out on the beach and built herself a sand castle. After awhile the others managed to coax her out to join them. For unknown reasons, the sand castle animated and became a sort of miniature sand golem. From that moment, it started following her around like it was somehow connected to her. She cannot currently figure out a way to rid herself of this construct. She has tried smashing it, slicing it into pieces, dropping it from high altitude, burning it, and having mages throw magic at it. It has thus far managed to reconstruct itself each time. She has since named it 'Sandcastle' and treats it like an annoying pet. Her theory is that someone who doesn't like her placed some sort of a curse on her. Currently, in order to give herself a few moments of freedom from it, she has taken to bursting it apart into tiny pieces, putting the pieces into separate containers, filling them with water, and sealing them. Each time, Sandcastle has somehow managed to escape, reform, and locate her again. How long this process takes seems to vary from a few hours to a few days.

: ● Tikka has recently been hired to help rig some fights run by her friends Yorric, Ari, and Gen. They figured that with her charisma and her enthusiasm she would have no trouble whipping up crowds into a frenzy, causing them to bet on their fighters, who would then throw the match. It's become a profitable arrangement for all parties involved. Plus Tikka has gotten lots of pretty gems and sugar cubes out of the deal.

: ● She kept a secret stash of her belongings and stolen goods at her room at the Quicksand. Recently, her room exploded and a group of unknown assailants attacked her and Yorric. There were no survivors amongst the assailants, and there were no identifying marks that might indicate their origin. The explosion was confined mostly to her room, with just a bit of damage to surrounding rooms. The wall in which her window was placed was pretty much blown wide open. Until she's able to secure a new base of operations, Tikka's current status is mobile, and she's relying on her set of emergency caches scattered throughout the major cities. Update: Her friend Cookie (Vanilla Wayfarer) offered to share her room with Tikka, thus solving her housing situation.

: ● Tikka, Glow, Gen, Yorric, and Ari perpetrated an intricately planned heist and stole millions of gil worth of artwork from an art auction in Ul'dah. They are currently sitting on this now hidden stash, preparing to sell it later.

: ● Armed assailants working for L'kharja Nunh tracked Tikka down to the headquarters of the Light Crusaders. They managed to render her unconscious and, despite the valiant efforts of her friends and company members, she was abducted and taken away to an unknown location. Tikka's half-brother, Pyha'to, and half-sister, Sumari, had been tracking L'kharja's men and wound up locating her just before she was kidnapped -- Tikka hadn't recognized either of them, and had fled from Pyha'to when he confronted her. Tikka's real name was revealed to be L'anya Kharja.

: ● Tikka spent many months in captivity. She was held by a group of cultists known as the Eyes of Zzahg'ghazz. They were a primal cult, based in a volcano lair about a day and a half's travel by airship from the shores of Limsa Lominsa. They were gathering crystals, intending to summon their insect god, the "Singing Lord of Shadows". Tikka was indoctrinated through the use of a special serum. She was given various magitek augments, and turned into a brainwashed assassin for the cult. She had her baby while in captivity, and L'kharja cruelly named it 'L'tarra', after Tikka's mother. He fully intended to raise L'tarra to worship Zzahg'ghazz as well. But thanks to the timely intervention of Tikka's friends and allies, and her brother and sister, Tikka was rescued from the cult and given an antidote to the indoctrination serum that had claimed her. While she had no memory of her time spent with the cultists, she catches glimpses in nightmares. Her baby was rescued from the clutches of the cultists as well. When she was introduced to her child by the father, Gen, Tikka dropped the L from the baby's name, and decided to call her Tarra Swiftpaw.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Ninja Lou]] : One of the members of the adventuring band who first discovered her and nursed her back to health. Louis has been a brother figure and a friend to her, and has helped her regain her fighting skills. Although she respects him and loves him like she would a real brother, she often enjoys helping herself to his coin purse, and challenging herself to see what else she can take without him noticing.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Shin Lightbringer]] : Another of the adventuring trio who saved her. Shin was a good friend to Tikka, until a night of indiscretion turned things awkward. Shin mistook their night of fun for something more, and was ashamed of himself. He disappeared, and she hasn't seen him since. Although she worries about him, she also feels that he overreacted.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Reis Ravenhart]] : Louis's wife, Reis has been a big sister figure to Tikka. While she tends to poke fun at Louis and generally makes him the butt of her jokes, Reis is the one that she respects the most. Lately Tikka has been training with a variety of different weapons under her tutelage, in order to enhance her versatility.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Glow N'amownoc]] : Although Tikka doesn't know Glow's true name, referring to her only by the nickname "Blueberry", she has become fast friends with the Keeper from the day they first met. Blueberry is another thief, and an often partner in crime. Tikka likes her a great deal, and often responds to the alias "Princess" that Blueberry has given her.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Vanilla Wayfarer]] : Vanilla aka "Cookie" is currently one of the few people who knows the real person behind the mask. She has become a person that Tikka can confide in, and Tikka views the Seeker as a close friend.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Haru Hattori]] : For a brief time, Tikka was head of security in the KHFNNDB (Keep Haru From Not Not Dying Brigade). Although she knows little about the lalafell, she knows that Haru is a member of the guard and isn't one in whom to confide her more illicit activities. Nevertheless, Haru has a great sense of humor, and Tikka has had plenty of fun playing around with her in the Quicksand.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Rhoe'a Lihzeh]] : While not truly an item, Tikka has spent more than one night with this dark skinned Keeper. She considers him a friend, and sometimes more than that, though she doubts it could ever develop into anything serious.

: <font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">♥</font> [[Gen Quickpaw]] : The love of her life and her soulmate, Tikka first met Gen during a drunken night at the Quicksand, with what both of them thought was going to be a one night stand. They wound up becoming fast friends and, after much drama and heartache, the pair have finally made it official and tied the knot. She's had three children with him, her daughters Tarra, Sumi, and Rana. It's her plan to have eight children total, so they still have a ways to go.

: <font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">♥</font> [[Kiipa Nulstat]] : Doctor of Might and Magitek, Kiipa has delivered two out of Tikka's three babies. Kiipa is involved in a relationship with Gen, a relationship that Tikka only encourages. If only because she enjoys snuggling up with Kiipa on the nights when she sleeps over.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Aurus Faith]] : This innocent young Keeper is another friend of Tikka's that went from platonic to "friends with benefits". Her room at the inn was a mess, and so when she found out that Aurus was a general laborer, she enlisted his services as what amounted to basically her live-in maid. She pays him a fair wage, calls him her "Swabbie", and lets him stay in her room -- which she hardly ever occupies. Though the times when she *is* around, she has nothing against sharing her bed.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Rashaka Larola]] : This older lalafell quickly became a father figure of sorts to Tikka. He was the first that she confided in about her dual identity, and she holds a certain affection for him.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">●</font> [[Lynn'wo Vahnal]] : Lynn'wo "Sparrow" Vahnal was the first man that Tikka had ever truly loved. The pair had hit it off immediately. They were an impressive comedy duo, and partners in crime. They often talked about investing in a ship together to sail the world, one that they would name 'Ted'. She took off her mask for him, let him see her real self both physically and emotionally. He reciprocated by tearing out her heart and leaving her for another woman, leaving Tikka crestfallen and defeated. When her mask went back on, she vowed that she would never leave herself that vulnerable again. While she is still upset over the whole issue, she has decided that if Sparrow sends her rogue related work, she'd be more than happy to accept it. After all, emotion has no place in business. Even after their break, she had feelings for him for a long time. Things have cooled now, though, and Tikka has moved on with her life.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Misha Jinhri]] : The woman that Sparrow left her for, Misha tried apologizing to Tikka for the whole fiasco. At first, Tikka viewed the apology as a veiled attempt to gloat over her victory and, despite the woman's offer of friendship, decided she wanted to have nothing further to do with her. She blamed her for Sparrow leaving her more than she blamed Sparrow himself, perhaps blinded by the feelings she had for him. Her anger towards Misha has long since passed now, however. And after spending time with Misha, she realized that this was someone that she could be friends with. Tikka has recently started hosting weekly bow training sessions for Misha, to help her friend hone her own abilities.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Yorric Lesh]] : Tikka's latest business associate. She doesn't know much about this man other than he seems to know how to run a good scam. She has recently agreed to help him with a shady arrangement, and he won serious points with her when he provided advance payment in the form of sparkly gems and sugar cubes. And as everyone knows, TikkaPoints(tm) are one of the most valuable commodities in all of Eorzea.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Reza'li Kaahn]] : She hooked up with this Keeper for what she'd intended to be a one night stand. However, her interest was piqued when he not only drew sketches of her, but he had a proclivity towards burning things. And Tikka likes fire.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">●</font> [[Flynt Knoltros]] : Tikka met this miqo'te only a couple of occasions, but he was fun enough to converse with. On their first meeting, she'd convinced him to leave the Quicksands with her. He believed he was being led into an ambush, so he secretly contacted a friend of his to shadow their progress. When Tikka found out that he thought she was setting him up to rob him, she was both amused and disappointed -- she was sure she projected a less shadier image than that.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Arianne Soren]] : Tikka has grown a lot more fond of Ari in a short amount of time. While she still doesn't know a whole lot about her, she enjoys Ari's attitude, the way she's nicknamed Tikka "Squirrel", and she feels a genuine sort of affection for the woman. She views her as someone that she can confide in.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[C'sanhsa Tia]] : She met this miqo'te in one of the rare times when she had her mask off in the Quicksand. Fresh from her breakup with Sparrow, and needing an excuse to abandon a really bad conversation with a rude hyur, she went up and butted into C'sanhsa's conversation with Jihan Rowe. Neither minded, and they helped to console her. Then her miniature sand golem appeared and started stomping around, and captured the group's interest.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Jihan Rowe]] : This miqo'te was with C'sanhsa when Tikka came up and butted into their conversation. He took particular interest in Sandcastle, and attempted to posit some theories as to how such a thing could have come to be. Tikka still remains convinced that the golem comes as part of an elaborate curse placed upon her by the bugs. She IS getting too close, after all.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Star Flicker]] : Flick was once Gen's girlfriend, and is the mother of Gen's son, Shio. Things have been rough between Tikka and Flick, with Flick often blaming Tikka for Gen not remaining faithful to her. Tikka has tried to be her friend, and hopes that one day Shio will be allowed to play with his siblings, Tarra and Sumi.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Anton Borneheld]] : One of the first friends that Tikka made during her nightly carousing at the Quicksand, although he disappeared for a long period of time. When he returned again, she almost didn't recognize him, and almost certainly forgot his name. But they became reacquainted again at the grand ball in Ul'dah, where he made a habit of trying to follow her on her insane leaps off of the balconies. Tikka enjoys playing off of Anton's banter, and loves the way that his wit seems to stack with hers. She sees him as a potential partner in crime.

'''Tikka Swift''', sometimes known as "Tabitha Emberfury", sometimes known as "Princess", sometimes known as "Hey, you, stop burning things!" is a miqo'te thief and street rat who has no current permanent place of residence. During the day, she can often be found on the streets of Ul'dah, performing elaborate feats of stage magic and acrobatics in order to draw crowds of marks to make for easy pickpocketing. At night, she plies her trade across the rooftops of the city, testing her lockpicking, safecracking, and trapfinding skills out in the homes of various unsuspecting noblemen. It has recently been discovered that her birth name is L'anya Kharja. Given that she's also learned that L'Kharja Nunh is not only NOT her real father, but he's the one who murdered her family, Tikka has decided that her *real* birth name is L'anya Polaali. Recently, she has married Gen Quickpaw and has appended her name with his last name, now calling herself L'anya Polaali Quickpaw.

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

Tikka is an acrobat and it shows through her build. While not overly strong, she is extremely agile and dextrous. She has a small frame and is very light, but uses that to her advantage, both to throw people off guard and to throw herself around. Her hair is a mix of red and white, though the white highlights are a natural coloration rather than a dye job. Her eyes are perhaps her most striking feature, a vivid green that often shimmer with energy and youthful exuberance. Although the young thief appears to be a Seeker, a clue to her hybrid heritage is in her slightly elongated canines -- which are far more pronounced than a Seeker's should be.

A hedonist at heart, Tikka lives a wild and crazy lifestyle. She acts on impulse, and does what she feels like doing at any given time, without any heed to potential consequences. She enjoys being random, a trait that often convinces people that she's actually at least partially insane. Plus she is generally high on sugar cubes, and that contributes significantly to her hyperactivity.

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

Tikka's mother was part of the Viper ( L ) tribe, and was one consort of many for one of the tribe's nunh's. She got pregnant by a Keeper rogue that she had fallen in love with. Since things would be bad if anyone ever found out the truth, she did her best to trick the nunh into thinking that the baby was his. Fortunately, Tikka was born with mostly Seeker features, save for her elongated canines and heightened sense of nightvision. She continued her relationship with the Keeper, and often brought Tikka to meet her real father in secret.

When she was old enough, her father started teaching her rogue skills, and she hung out with him and his group. It was because of this continued interaction that the nunh of her tribe eventually found out about the truth. He tried to have Tikka and her mother killed, but Tikka's father and his band of rogues swooped in to pull them out of danger. However, the insult would not stand, and the nunh gathered up men of his own. They pursued the band and, during the battle, Tikka's parents (along with most of the rogues) were killed.

But before they died, they urged Tikka to escape. The young rogue ran for her life, but the nunh soon caught up to her. They fought, and he beat her to within an inch of her life. But before he could land the final blow, she struck him with a knife just below the heart. His own blow proved a glancing one, but it bounced her head off a rock and Tikka went unconscious. Leaving her dying, the nunh retreated to seek medical aid -- he couldn't tell anyone the truth of what had happened, for fear of what would happen to his status if it became known that he was nearly killed by not only a female, but a female child.

Soon afterwards, Tikka was discovered by a traveling band of mercenaries -- Louis, Reis, and Shin. The trio of adventurers took her in and nursed her back to health. But after she had recovered, Tikka recalled nothing of her former life. The adventurers invited her to join them. Since she couldn't remember her name, they helped her think of one. Louis started to train her to defend herself, but when he did so, he soon discovered that she had several innate talents related to thievery. He called her 'Swift', because she was innately fast on her feet and quick fingered. Her role within the group determined, she set off with the trio in search of adventure.

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

: ● Had her heart broken in a relationship with Sparrow. Until she met him, Tikka had never loved anyone before, at least not as far as she could remember. She'd been with a lot of guys, and had certainly felt attraction. But she'd never even considered becoming exclusive with someone. That's why it was so much harder for her when it turned out that he was in love with someone else. This relationship has had a huge impact on Tikka. She has withdrawn, choosing to distance herself even further from people emotionally. She has also found comfort in the bottle, deciding that being drunk all the time keeps her mind from wandering back to the comfort she'd found in his arms.

: ● During a beach party, Tikka was refusing to go into the water to join the rest of her friends due to her fear of sharks. Instead, she stubbornly camped out on the beach and built herself a sand castle. After awhile the others managed to coax her out to join them. For unknown reasons, the sand castle animated and became a sort of miniature sand golem. From that moment, it started following her around like it was somehow connected to her. She cannot currently figure out a way to rid herself of this construct. She has tried smashing it, slicing it into pieces, dropping it from high altitude, burning it, and having mages throw magic at it. It has thus far managed to reconstruct itself each time. She has since named it 'Sandcastle' and treats it like an annoying pet. Her theory is that someone who doesn't like her placed some sort of a curse on her. Currently, in order to give herself a few moments of freedom from it, she has taken to bursting it apart into tiny pieces, putting the pieces into separate containers, filling them with water, and sealing them. Each time, Sandcastle has somehow managed to escape, reform, and locate her again. How long this process takes seems to vary from a few hours to a few days.

: ● Tikka has recently been hired to help rig some fights run by her friends Yorric, Ari, and Gen. They figured that with her charisma and her enthusiasm she would have no trouble whipping up crowds into a frenzy, causing them to bet on their fighters, who would then throw the match. It's become a profitable arrangement for all parties involved. Plus Tikka has gotten lots of pretty gems and sugar cubes out of the deal.

: ● She kept a secret stash of her belongings and stolen goods at her room at the Quicksand. Recently, her room exploded and a group of unknown assailants attacked her and Yorric. There were no survivors amongst the assailants, and there were no identifying marks that might indicate their origin. The explosion was confined mostly to her room, with just a bit of damage to surrounding rooms. The wall in which her window was placed was pretty much blown wide open. Until she's able to secure a new base of operations, Tikka's current status is mobile, and she's relying on her set of emergency caches scattered throughout the major cities. Update: Her friend Cookie (Vanilla Wayfarer) offered to share her room with Tikka, thus solving her housing situation.

: ● Tikka, Glow, Gen, Yorric, and Ari perpetrated an intricately planned heist and stole millions of gil worth of artwork from an art auction in Ul'dah. They are currently sitting on this now hidden stash, preparing to sell it later.

: ● Armed assailants working for L'kharja Nunh tracked Tikka down to the headquarters of the Light Crusaders. They managed to render her unconscious and, despite the valiant efforts of her friends and company members, she was abducted and taken away to an unknown location. Tikka's half-brother, Pyha'to, and half-sister, Sumari, had been tracking L'kharja's men and wound up locating her just before she was kidnapped -- Tikka hadn't recognized either of them, and had fled from Pyha'to when he confronted her. Tikka's real name was revealed to be L'anya Kharja.

: ● Tikka spent many months in captivity. She was held by a group of cultists known as the Eyes of Zzahg'ghazz. They were a primal cult, based in a volcano lair about a day and a half's travel by airship from the shores of Limsa Lominsa. They were gathering crystals, intending to summon their insect god, the "Singing Lord of Shadows". Tikka was indoctrinated through the use of a special serum. She was given various magitek augments, and turned into a brainwashed assassin for the cult. She had her baby while in captivity, and L'kharja cruelly named it 'L'tarra', after Tikka's mother. He fully intended to raise L'tarra to worship Zzahg'ghazz as well. But thanks to the timely intervention of Tikka's friends and allies, and her brother and sister, Tikka was rescued from the cult and given an antidote to the indoctrination serum that had claimed her. While she had no memory of her time spent with the cultists, she catches glimpses in nightmares. Her baby was rescued from the clutches of the cultists as well. When she was introduced to her child by the father, Gen, Tikka dropped the L from the baby's name, and decided to call her Tarra Swiftpaw.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Ninja Lou]] : One of the members of the adventuring band who first discovered her and nursed her back to health. Louis has been a brother figure and a friend to her, and has helped her regain her fighting skills. Although she respects him and loves him like she would a real brother, she often enjoys helping herself to his coin purse, and challenging herself to see what else she can take without him noticing.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Shin Lightbringer]] : Another of the adventuring trio who saved her. Shin was a good friend to Tikka, until a night of indiscretion turned things awkward. Shin mistook their night of fun for something more, and was ashamed of himself. He disappeared, and she hasn't seen him since. Although she worries about him, she also feels that he overreacted.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Reis Ravenhart]] : Louis's wife, Reis has been a big sister figure to Tikka. While she tends to poke fun at Louis and generally makes him the butt of her jokes, Reis is the one that she respects the most. Lately Tikka has been training with a variety of different weapons under her tutelage, in order to enhance her versatility.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Glow N'amownoc]] : Although Tikka doesn't know Glow's true name, referring to her only by the nickname "Blueberry", she has become fast friends with the Keeper from the day they first met. Blueberry is another thief, and an often partner in crime. Tikka likes her a great deal, and often responds to the alias "Princess" that Blueberry has given her.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Vanilla Wayfarer]] : Vanilla aka "Cookie" is currently one of the few people who knows the real person behind the mask. She has become a person that Tikka can confide in, and Tikka views the Seeker as a close friend.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Haru Hattori]] : For a brief time, Tikka was head of security in the KHFNNDB (Keep Haru From Not Not Dying Brigade). Although she knows little about the lalafell, she knows that Haru is a member of the guard and isn't one in whom to confide her more illicit activities. Nevertheless, Haru has a great sense of humor, and Tikka has had plenty of fun playing around with her in the Quicksand.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Rhoe'a Lihzeh]] : While not truly an item, Tikka has spent more than one night with this dark skinned Keeper. She considers him a friend, and sometimes more than that, though she doubts it could ever develop into anything serious.

: <font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">♥</font> [[Gen Quickpaw]] : The love of her life and her soulmate, Tikka first met Gen during a drunken night at the Quicksand, with what both of them thought was going to be a one night stand. They wound up becoming fast friends and, after much drama and heartache, the pair have finally made it official and tied the knot. She's had three children with him, her daughters Tarra, Sumi, and Rana. It's her plan to have eight children total, so they still have a ways to go.

: <font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">♥</font> [[Kiipa Nulstat]] : Doctor of Might and Magitek, Kiipa has delivered two out of Tikka's three babies. Kiipa is involved in a relationship with Gen, a relationship that Tikka only encourages. If only because she enjoys snuggling up with Kiipa on the nights when she sleeps over.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Aurus Faith]] : This innocent young Keeper is another friend of Tikka's that went from platonic to "friends with benefits". Her room at the inn was a mess, and so when she found out that Aurus was a general laborer, she enlisted his services as what amounted to basically her live-in maid. She pays him a fair wage, calls him her "Swabbie", and lets him stay in her room -- which she hardly ever occupies. Though the times when she *is* around, she has nothing against sharing her bed.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Rashaka Larola]] : This older lalafell quickly became a father figure of sorts to Tikka. He was the first that she confided in about her dual identity, and she holds a certain affection for him.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">●</font> [[Lynn'wo Vahnal]] : Lynn'wo "Sparrow" Vahnal was the first man that Tikka had ever truly loved. The pair had hit it off immediately. They were an impressive comedy duo, and partners in crime. They often talked about investing in a ship together to sail the world, one that they would name 'Ted'. She took off her mask for him, let him see her real self both physically and emotionally. He reciprocated by tearing out her heart and leaving her for another woman, leaving Tikka crestfallen and defeated. When her mask went back on, she vowed that she would never leave herself that vulnerable again. While she is still upset over the whole issue, she has decided that if Sparrow sends her rogue related work, she'd be more than happy to accept it. After all, emotion has no place in business. Even after their break, she had feelings for him for a long time. Things have cooled now, though, and Tikka has moved on with her life.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Misha Jinhri]] : The woman that Sparrow left her for, Misha tried apologizing to Tikka for the whole fiasco. At first, Tikka viewed the apology as a veiled attempt to gloat over her victory and, despite the woman's offer of friendship, decided she wanted to have nothing further to do with her. She blamed her for Sparrow leaving her more than she blamed Sparrow himself, perhaps blinded by the feelings she had for him. Her anger towards Misha has long since passed now, however. And after spending time with Misha, she realized that this was someone that she could be friends with. Tikka has recently started hosting weekly bow training sessions for Misha, to help her friend hone her own abilities.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Yorric Lesh]] : Tikka's latest business associate. She doesn't know much about this man other than he seems to know how to run a good scam. She has recently agreed to help him with a shady arrangement, and he won serious points with her when he provided advance payment in the form of sparkly gems and sugar cubes. And as everyone knows, TikkaPoints(tm) are one of the most valuable commodities in all of Eorzea.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Reza'li Kaahn]] : She hooked up with this Keeper for what she'd intended to be a one night stand. However, her interest was piqued when he not only drew sketches of her, but he had a proclivity towards burning things. And Tikka likes fire.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">●</font> [[Flynt Knoltros]] : Tikka met this miqo'te only a couple of occasions, but he was fun enough to converse with. On their first meeting, she'd convinced him to leave the Quicksands with her. He believed he was being led into an ambush, so he secretly contacted a friend of his to shadow their progress. When Tikka found out that he thought she was setting him up to rob him, she was both amused and disappointed -- she was sure she projected a less shadier image than that.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Arianne Soren]] : Tikka has grown a lot more fond of Ari in a short amount of time. While she still doesn't know a whole lot about her, she enjoys Ari's attitude, the way she's nicknamed Tikka "Squirrel", and she feels a genuine sort of affection for the woman. She views her as someone that she can confide in.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[C'sanhsa Tia]] : She met this miqo'te in one of the rare times when she had her mask off in the Quicksand. Fresh from her breakup with Sparrow, and needing an excuse to abandon a really bad conversation with a rude hyur, she went up and butted into C'sanhsa's conversation with Jihan Rowe. Neither minded, and they helped to console her. Then her miniature sand golem appeared and started stomping around, and captured the group's interest.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Jihan Rowe]] : This miqo'te was with C'sanhsa when Tikka came up and butted into their conversation. He took particular interest in Sandcastle, and attempted to posit some theories as to how such a thing could have come to be. Tikka still remains convinced that the golem comes as part of an elaborate curse placed upon her by the bugs. She IS getting too close, after all.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Star Flicker]] : Flick was once Gen's girlfriend, and is the mother of Gen's son, Shio. Things have been rough between Tikka and Flick, with Flick often blaming Tikka for Gen not remaining faithful to her. Tikka has tried to be her friend, and hopes that one day Shio will be allowed to play with his siblings, Tarra and Sumi.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Anton Borneheld]] : One of the first friends that Tikka made during her nightly carousing at the Quicksand, although he disappeared for a long period of time. When he returned again, she almost didn't recognize him, and almost certainly forgot his name. But they became reacquainted again at the grand ball in Ul'dah, where he made a habit of trying to follow her on her insane leaps off of the balconies. Tikka enjoys playing off of Anton's banter, and loves the way that his wit seems to stack with hers. She sees him as a potential partner in crime.

'''Tikka Swift''', sometimes known as "Tabitha Emberfury", sometimes known as "Princess", sometimes known as "Hey, you, stop burning things!" is a miqo'te thief and street rat who has no current permanent place of residence. During the day, she can often be found on the streets of Ul'dah, performing elaborate feats of stage magic and acrobatics in order to draw crowds of marks to make for easy pickpocketing. At night, she plies her trade across the rooftops of the city, testing her lockpicking, safecracking, and trapfinding skills out in the homes of various unsuspecting noblemen. It has recently been discovered that her birth name is L'anya Kharja. Given that she's also learned that L'Kharja Nunh is not only NOT her real father, but he's the one who murdered her family, Tikka has decided that her *real* birth name is L'anya Polaali. Recently, she has married Gen Quickpaw and has appended her name with his last name, now calling herself L'anya Polaali Quickpaw.

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

Tikka is an acrobat and it shows through her build. While not overly strong, she is extremely agile and dextrous. She has a small frame and is very light, but uses that to her advantage, both to throw people off guard and to throw herself around. Her hair is a mix of red and white, though the white highlights are a natural coloration rather than a dye job. Her eyes are perhaps her most striking feature, a vivid green that often shimmer with energy and youthful exuberance. Although the young thief appears to be a Seeker, a clue to her hybrid heritage is in her slightly elongated canines -- which are far more pronounced than a Seeker's should be.

A hedonist at heart, Tikka lives a wild and crazy lifestyle. She acts on impulse, and does what she feels like doing at any given time, without any heed to potential consequences. She enjoys being random, a trait that often convinces people that she's actually at least partially insane. Plus she is generally high on sugar cubes, and that contributes significantly to her hyperactivity.

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

Tikka's mother was part of the Viper ( L ) tribe, and was one consort of many for one of the tribe's nunh's. She got pregnant by a Keeper rogue that she had fallen in love with. Since things would be bad if anyone ever found out the truth, she did her best to trick the nunh into thinking that the baby was his. Fortunately, Tikka was born with mostly Seeker features, save for her elongated canines and heightened sense of nightvision. She continued her relationship with the Keeper, and often brought Tikka to meet her real father in secret.

When she was old enough, her father started teaching her rogue skills, and she hung out with him and his group. It was because of this continued interaction that the nunh of her tribe eventually found out about the truth. He tried to have Tikka and her mother killed, but Tikka's father and his band of rogues swooped in to pull them out of danger. However, the insult would not stand, and the nunh gathered up men of his own. They pursued the band and, during the battle, Tikka's parents (along with most of the rogues) were killed.

But before they died, they urged Tikka to escape. The young rogue ran for her life, but the nunh soon caught up to her. They fought, and he beat her to within an inch of her life. But before he could land the final blow, she struck him with a knife just below the heart. His own blow proved a glancing one, but it bounced her head off a rock and Tikka went unconscious. Leaving her dying, the nunh retreated to seek medical aid -- he couldn't tell anyone the truth of what had happened, for fear of what would happen to his status if it became known that he was nearly killed by not only a female, but a female child.

Soon afterwards, Tikka was discovered by a traveling band of mercenaries -- Louis, Reis, and Shin. The trio of adventurers took her in and nursed her back to health. But after she had recovered, Tikka recalled nothing of her former life. The adventurers invited her to join them. Since she couldn't remember her name, they helped her think of one. Louis started to train her to defend herself, but when he did so, he soon discovered that she had several innate talents related to thievery. He called her 'Swift', because she was innately fast on her feet and quick fingered. Her role within the group determined, she set off with the trio in search of adventure.

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

: ● Had her heart broken in a relationship with Sparrow. Until she met him, Tikka had never loved anyone before, at least not as far as she could remember. She'd been with a lot of guys, and had certainly felt attraction. But she'd never even considered becoming exclusive with someone. That's why it was so much harder for her when it turned out that he was in love with someone else. This relationship has had a huge impact on Tikka. She has withdrawn, choosing to distance herself even further from people emotionally. She has also found comfort in the bottle, deciding that being drunk all the time keeps her mind from wandering back to the comfort she'd found in his arms.

: ● During a beach party, Tikka was refusing to go into the water to join the rest of her friends due to her fear of sharks. Instead, she stubbornly camped out on the beach and built herself a sand castle. After awhile the others managed to coax her out to join them. For unknown reasons, the sand castle animated and became a sort of miniature sand golem. From that moment, it started following her around like it was somehow connected to her. She cannot currently figure out a way to rid herself of this construct. She has tried smashing it, slicing it into pieces, dropping it from high altitude, burning it, and having mages throw magic at it. It has thus far managed to reconstruct itself each time. She has since named it 'Sandcastle' and treats it like an annoying pet. Her theory is that someone who doesn't like her placed some sort of a curse on her. Currently, in order to give herself a few moments of freedom from it, she has taken to bursting it apart into tiny pieces, putting the pieces into separate containers, filling them with water, and sealing them. Each time, Sandcastle has somehow managed to escape, reform, and locate her again. How long this process takes seems to vary from a few hours to a few days.

: ● Tikka has recently been hired to help rig some fights run by her friends Yorric, Ari, and Gen. They figured that with her charisma and her enthusiasm she would have no trouble whipping up crowds into a frenzy, causing them to bet on their fighters, who would then throw the match. It's become a profitable arrangement for all parties involved. Plus Tikka has gotten lots of pretty gems and sugar cubes out of the deal.

: ● She kept a secret stash of her belongings and stolen goods at her room at the Quicksand. Recently, her room exploded and a group of unknown assailants attacked her and Yorric. There were no survivors amongst the assailants, and there were no identifying marks that might indicate their origin. The explosion was confined mostly to her room, with just a bit of damage to surrounding rooms. The wall in which her window was placed was pretty much blown wide open. Until she's able to secure a new base of operations, Tikka's current status is mobile, and she's relying on her set of emergency caches scattered throughout the major cities. Update: Her friend Cookie (Vanilla Wayfarer) offered to share her room with Tikka, thus solving her housing situation.

: ● Tikka, Glow, Gen, Yorric, and Ari perpetrated an intricately planned heist and stole millions of gil worth of artwork from an art auction in Ul'dah. They are currently sitting on this now hidden stash, preparing to sell it later.

: ● Armed assailants working for L'kharja Nunh tracked Tikka down to the headquarters of the Light Crusaders. They managed to render her unconscious and, despite the valiant efforts of her friends and company members, she was abducted and taken away to an unknown location. Tikka's half-brother, Pyha'to, and half-sister, Sumari, had been tracking L'kharja's men and wound up locating her just before she was kidnapped -- Tikka hadn't recognized either of them, and had fled from Pyha'to when he confronted her. Tikka's real name was revealed to be L'anya Kharja.

: ● Tikka spent many months in captivity. She was held by a group of cultists known as the Eyes of Zzahg'ghazz. They were a primal cult, based in a volcano lair about a day and a half's travel by airship from the shores of Limsa Lominsa. They were gathering crystals, intending to summon their insect god, the "Singing Lord of Shadows". Tikka was indoctrinated through the use of a special serum. She was given various magitek augments, and turned into a brainwashed assassin for the cult. She had her baby while in captivity, and L'kharja cruelly named it 'L'tarra', after Tikka's mother. He fully intended to raise L'tarra to worship Zzahg'ghazz as well. But thanks to the timely intervention of Tikka's friends and allies, and her brother and sister, Tikka was rescued from the cult and given an antidote to the indoctrination serum that had claimed her. While she had no memory of her time spent with the cultists, she catches glimpses in nightmares. Her baby was rescued from the clutches of the cultists as well. When she was introduced to her child by the father, Gen, Tikka dropped the L from the baby's name, and decided to call her Tarra Swiftpaw.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Ninja Lou]] : One of the members of the adventuring band who first discovered her and nursed her back to health. Louis has been a brother figure and a friend to her, and has helped her regain her fighting skills. Although she respects him and loves him like she would a real brother, she often enjoys helping herself to his coin purse, and challenging herself to see what else she can take without him noticing.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Shin Lightbringer]] : Another of the adventuring trio who saved her. Shin was a good friend to Tikka, until a night of indiscretion turned things awkward. Shin mistook their night of fun for something more, and was ashamed of himself. He disappeared, and she hasn't seen him since. Although she worries about him, she also feels that he overreacted.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Reis Ravenhart]] : Louis's wife, Reis has been a big sister figure to Tikka. While she tends to poke fun at Louis and generally makes him the butt of her jokes, Reis is the one that she respects the most. Lately Tikka has been training with a variety of different weapons under her tutelage, in order to enhance her versatility.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Glow N'amownoc]] : Although Tikka doesn't know Glow's true name, referring to her only by the nickname "Blueberry", she has become fast friends with the Keeper from the day they first met. Blueberry is another thief, and an often partner in crime. Tikka likes her a great deal, and often responds to the alias "Princess" that Blueberry has given her.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Vanilla Wayfarer]] : Vanilla aka "Cookie" is currently one of the few people who knows the real person behind the mask. She has become a person that Tikka can confide in, and Tikka views the Seeker as a close friend.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Haru Hattori]] : For a brief time, Tikka was head of security in the KHFNNDB (Keep Haru From Not Not Dying Brigade). Although she knows little about the lalafell, she knows that Haru is a member of the guard and isn't one in whom to confide her more illicit activities. Nevertheless, Haru has a great sense of humor, and Tikka has had plenty of fun playing around with her in the Quicksand.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Rhoe'a Lihzeh]] : While not truly an item, Tikka has spent more than one night with this dark skinned Keeper. She considers him a friend, and sometimes more than that, though she doubts it could ever develop into anything serious.

: <font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">♥</font> [[Gen Quickpaw]] : The love of her life and her soulmate, Tikka first met Gen during a drunken night at the Quicksand, with what both of them thought was going to be a one night stand. They wound up becoming fast friends and, after much drama and heartache, the pair have finally made it official and tied the knot. She's had three children with him, her daughters Tarra, Sumi, and Rana. It's her plan to have eight children total, so they still have a ways to go.

: <font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">♥</font> [[Kiipa Nulstat]] : Doctor of Might and Magitek, Kiipa has delivered two out of Tikka's three babies. Kiipa is involved in a relationship with Gen, a relationship that Tikka only encourages. If only because she enjoys snuggling up with Kiipa on the nights when she sleeps over.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Aurus Faith]] : This innocent young Keeper is another friend of Tikka's that went from platonic to "friends with benefits". Her room at the inn was a mess, and so when she found out that Aurus was a general laborer, she enlisted his services as what amounted to basically her live-in maid. She pays him a fair wage, calls him her "Swabbie", and lets him stay in her room -- which she hardly ever occupies. Though the times when she *is* around, she has nothing against sharing her bed.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Rashaka Larola]] : This older lalafell quickly became a father figure of sorts to Tikka. He was the first that she confided in about her dual identity, and she holds a certain affection for him.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">●</font> [[Lynn'wo Vahnal]] : Lynn'wo "Sparrow" Vahnal was the first man that Tikka had ever truly loved. The pair had hit it off immediately. They were an impressive comedy duo, and partners in crime. They often talked about investing in a ship together to sail the world, one that they would name 'Ted'. She took off her mask for him, let him see her real self both physically and emotionally. He reciprocated by tearing out her heart and leaving her for another woman, leaving Tikka crestfallen and defeated. When her mask went back on, she vowed that she would never leave herself that vulnerable again. While she is still upset over the whole issue, she has decided that if Sparrow sends her rogue related work, she'd be more than happy to accept it. After all, emotion has no place in business. Even after their break, she had feelings for him for a long time. Things have cooled now, though, and Tikka has moved on with her life.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Misha Jinhri]] : The woman that Sparrow left her for, Misha tried apologizing to Tikka for the whole fiasco. At first, Tikka viewed the apology as a veiled attempt to gloat over her victory and, despite the woman's offer of friendship, decided she wanted to have nothing further to do with her. She blamed her for Sparrow leaving her more than she blamed Sparrow himself, perhaps blinded by the feelings she had for him. Her anger towards Misha has long since passed now, however. And after spending time with Misha, she realized that this was someone that she could be friends with. Tikka has recently started hosting weekly bow training sessions for Misha, to help her friend hone her own abilities.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Yorric Lesh]] : Tikka's latest business associate. She doesn't know much about this man other than he seems to know how to run a good scam. She has recently agreed to help him with a shady arrangement, and he won serious points with her when he provided advance payment in the form of sparkly gems and sugar cubes. And as everyone knows, TikkaPoints(tm) are one of the most valuable commodities in all of Eorzea.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Reza'li Kaahn]] : She hooked up with this Keeper for what she'd intended to be a one night stand. However, her interest was piqued when he not only drew sketches of her, but he had a proclivity towards burning things. And Tikka likes fire.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">●</font> [[Flynt Knoltros]] : Tikka met this miqo'te only a couple of occasions, but he was fun enough to converse with. On their first meeting, she'd convinced him to leave the Quicksands with her. He believed he was being led into an ambush, so he secretly contacted a friend of his to shadow their progress. When Tikka found out that he thought she was setting him up to rob him, she was both amused and disappointed -- she was sure she projected a less shadier image than that.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Arianne Soren]] : Tikka has grown a lot more fond of Ari in a short amount of time. While she still doesn't know a whole lot about her, she enjoys Ari's attitude, the way she's nicknamed Tikka "Squirrel", and she feels a genuine sort of affection for the woman. She views her as someone that she can confide in.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[C'sanhsa Tia]] : She met this miqo'te in one of the rare times when she had her mask off in the Quicksand. Fresh from her breakup with Sparrow, and needing an excuse to abandon a really bad conversation with a rude hyur, she went up and butted into C'sanhsa's conversation with Jihan Rowe. Neither minded, and they helped to console her. Then her miniature sand golem appeared and started stomping around, and captured the group's interest.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Jihan Rowe]] : This miqo'te was with C'sanhsa when Tikka came up and butted into their conversation. He took particular interest in Sandcastle, and attempted to posit some theories as to how such a thing could have come to be. Tikka still remains convinced that the golem comes as part of an elaborate curse placed upon her by the bugs. She IS getting too close, after all.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Star Flicker]] : Flick was once Gen's girlfriend, and is the mother of Gen's son, Shio. Things have been rough between Tikka and Flick, with Flick often blaming Tikka for Gen not remaining faithful to her. Tikka has tried to be her friend, and hopes that one day Shio will be allowed to play with his siblings, Tarra and Sumi.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Anton Borneheld]] : One of the first friends that Tikka made during her nightly carousing at the Quicksand, although he disappeared for a long period of time. When he returned again, she almost didn't recognize him, and almost certainly forgot his name. But they became reacquainted again at the grand ball in Ul'dah, where he made a habit of trying to follow her on her insane leaps off of the balconies. Tikka enjoys playing off of Anton's banter, and loves the way that his wit seems to stack with hers. She sees him as a potential partner in crime.

'''Tikka Swift''', sometimes known as "Tabitha Emberfury", sometimes known as "Princess", sometimes known as "Hey, you, stop burning things!" is a miqo'te thief and street rat who has no current permanent place of residence. During the day, she can often be found on the streets of Ul'dah, performing elaborate feats of stage magic and acrobatics in order to draw crowds of marks to make for easy pickpocketing. At night, she plies her trade across the rooftops of the city, testing her lockpicking, safecracking, and trapfinding skills out in the homes of various unsuspecting noblemen. It has recently been discovered that her birth name is L'anya Kharja. Given that she's also learned that L'Kharja Nunh is not only NOT her real father, but he's the one who murdered her family, Tikka has decided that her *real* birth name is L'anya Polaali.

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

Tikka is an acrobat and it shows through her build. While not overly strong, she is extremely agile and dextrous. She has a small frame and is very light, but uses that to her advantage, both to throw people off guard and to throw herself around. Her hair is a mix of red and white, though the white highlights are a natural coloration rather than a dye job. Her eyes are perhaps her most striking feature, a vivid green that often shimmer with energy and youthful exuberance. Although the young thief appears to be a Seeker, a clue to her hybrid heritage is in her slightly elongated canines -- which are far more pronounced than a Seeker's should be.

A hedonist at heart, Tikka lives a wild and crazy lifestyle. She acts on impulse, and does what she feels like doing at any given time, without any heed to potential consequences. She enjoys being random, a trait that often convinces people that she's actually at least partially insane. Plus she is generally high on sugar cubes, and that contributes significantly to her hyperactivity.

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

Tikka's mother was part of the Viper ( L ) tribe, and was one consort of many for one of the tribe's nunh's. She got pregnant by a Keeper rogue that she had fallen in love with. Since things would be bad if anyone ever found out the truth, she did her best to trick the nunh into thinking that the baby was his. Fortunately, Tikka was born with mostly Seeker features, save for her elongated canines and heightened sense of nightvision. She continued her relationship with the Keeper, and often brought Tikka to meet her real father in secret.

When she was old enough, her father started teaching her rogue skills, and she hung out with him and his group. It was because of this continued interaction that the nunh of her tribe eventually found out about the truth. He tried to have Tikka and her mother killed, but Tikka's father and his band of rogues swooped in to pull them out of danger. However, the insult would not stand, and the nunh gathered up men of his own. They pursued the band and, during the battle, Tikka's parents (along with most of the rogues) were killed.

But before they died, they urged Tikka to escape. The young rogue ran for her life, but the nunh soon caught up to her. They fought, and he beat her to within an inch of her life. But before he could land the final blow, she struck him with a knife just below the heart. His own blow proved a glancing one, but it bounced her head off a rock and Tikka went unconscious. Leaving her dying, the nunh retreated to seek medical aid -- he couldn't tell anyone the truth of what had happened, for fear of what would happen to his status if it became known that he was nearly killed by not only a female, but a female child.

Soon afterwards, Tikka was discovered by a traveling band of mercenaries -- Louis, Reis, and Shin. The trio of adventurers took her in and nursed her back to health. But after she had recovered, Tikka recalled nothing of her former life. The adventurers invited her to join them. Since she couldn't remember her name, they helped her think of one. Louis started to train her to defend herself, but when he did so, he soon discovered that she had several innate talents related to thievery. He called her 'Swift', because she was innately fast on her feet and quick fingered. Her role within the group determined, she set off with the trio in search of adventure.

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

: ● Had her heart broken in a relationship with Sparrow. Until she met him, Tikka had never loved anyone before, at least not as far as she could remember. She'd been with a lot of guys, and had certainly felt attraction. But she'd never even considered becoming exclusive with someone. That's why it was so much harder for her when it turned out that he was in love with someone else. This relationship has had a huge impact on Tikka. She has withdrawn, choosing to distance herself even further from people emotionally. She has also found comfort in the bottle, deciding that being drunk all the time keeps her mind from wandering back to the comfort she'd found in his arms.

: ● During a beach party, Tikka was refusing to go into the water to join the rest of her friends due to her fear of sharks. Instead, she stubbornly camped out on the beach and built herself a sand castle. After awhile the others managed to coax her out to join them. For unknown reasons, the sand castle animated and became a sort of miniature sand golem. From that moment, it started following her around like it was somehow connected to her. She cannot currently figure out a way to rid herself of this construct. She has tried smashing it, slicing it into pieces, dropping it from high altitude, burning it, and having mages throw magic at it. It has thus far managed to reconstruct itself each time. She has since named it 'Sandcastle' and treats it like an annoying pet. Her theory is that someone who doesn't like her placed some sort of a curse on her. Currently, in order to give herself a few moments of freedom from it, she has taken to bursting it apart into tiny pieces, putting the pieces into separate containers, filling them with water, and sealing them. Each time, Sandcastle has somehow managed to escape, reform, and locate her again. How long this process takes seems to vary from a few hours to a few days.

: ● Tikka has recently been hired to help rig some fights run by her friends Yorric, Ari, and Gen. They figured that with her charisma and her enthusiasm she would have no trouble whipping up crowds into a frenzy, causing them to bet on their fighters, who would then throw the match. It's become a profitable arrangement for all parties involved. Plus Tikka has gotten lots of pretty gems and sugar cubes out of the deal.

: ● She kept a secret stash of her belongings and stolen goods at her room at the Quicksand. Recently, her room exploded and a group of unknown assailants attacked her and Yorric. There were no survivors amongst the assailants, and there were no identifying marks that might indicate their origin. The explosion was confined mostly to her room, with just a bit of damage to surrounding rooms. The wall in which her window was placed was pretty much blown wide open. Until she's able to secure a new base of operations, Tikka's current status is mobile, and she's relying on her set of emergency caches scattered throughout the major cities. Update: Her friend Cookie (Vanilla Wayfarer) offered to share her room with Tikka, thus solving her housing situation.

: ● Tikka, Glow, Gen, Yorric, and Ari perpetrated an intricately planned heist and stole millions of gil worth of artwork from an art auction in Ul'dah. They are currently sitting on this now hidden stash, preparing to sell it later.

: ● Armed assailants working for L'kharja Nunh tracked Tikka down to the headquarters of the Light Crusaders. They managed to render her unconscious and, despite the valiant efforts of her friends and company members, she was abducted and taken away to an unknown location. Tikka's half-brother, Pyha'to, and half-sister, Sumari, had been tracking L'kharja's men and wound up locating her just before she was kidnapped -- Tikka hadn't recognized either of them, and had fled from Pyha'to when he confronted her. Tikka's real name was revealed to be L'anya Kharja.

: ● Tikka spent many months in captivity. She was held by a group of cultists known as the Eyes of Zzahg'ghazz. They were a primal cult, based in a volcano lair about a day and a half's travel by airship from the shores of Limsa Lominsa. They were gathering crystals, intending to summon their insect god, the "Singing Lord of Shadows". Tikka was indoctrinated through the use of a special serum. She was given various magitek augments, and turned into a brainwashed assassin for the cult. She had her baby while in captivity, and L'kharja cruelly named it 'L'tarra', after Tikka's mother. He fully intended to raise L'tarra to worship Zzahg'ghazz as well. But thanks to the timely intervention of Tikka's friends and allies, and her brother and sister, Tikka was rescued from the cult and given an antidote to the indoctrination serum that had claimed her. While she had no memory of her time spent with the cultists, she catches glimpses in nightmares. Her baby was rescued from the clutches of the cultists as well. When she was introduced to her child by the father, Gen, Tikka dropped the L from the baby's name, and decided to call her Tarra Swiftpaw.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Ninja Lou]] : One of the members of the adventuring band who first discovered her and nursed her back to health. Louis has been a brother figure and a friend to her, and has helped her regain her fighting skills. Although she respects him and loves him like she would a real brother, she often enjoys helping herself to his coin purse, and challenging herself to see what else she can take without him noticing.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Shin Lightbringer]] : Another of the adventuring trio who saved her. Shin was a good friend to Tikka, until a night of indiscretion turned things awkward. Shin mistook their night of fun for something more, and was ashamed of himself. He disappeared, and she hasn't seen him since. Although she worries about him, she also feels that he overreacted.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Reis Ravenhart]] : Louis's wife, Reis has been a big sister figure to Tikka. While she tends to poke fun at Louis and generally makes him the butt of her jokes, Reis is the one that she respects the most. Lately Tikka has been training with a variety of different weapons under her tutelage, in order to enhance her versatility.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Glow N'amownoc]] : Although Tikka doesn't know Glow's true name, referring to her only by the nickname "Blueberry", she has become fast friends with the Keeper from the day they first met. Blueberry is another thief, and an often partner in crime. Tikka likes her a great deal, and often responds to the alias "Princess" that Blueberry has given her.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Vanilla Wayfarer]] : Vanilla aka "Cookie" is currently one of the few people who knows the real person behind the mask. She has become a person that Tikka can confide in, and Tikka views the Seeker as a close friend.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Haru Hattori]] : For a brief time, Tikka was head of security in the KHFNNDB (Keep Haru From Not Not Dying Brigade). Although she knows little about the lalafell, she knows that Haru is a member of the guard and isn't one in whom to confide her more illicit activities. Nevertheless, Haru has a great sense of humor, and Tikka has had plenty of fun playing around with her in the Quicksand.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Rhoe'a Lihzeh]] : While not truly an item, Tikka has spent more than one night with this dark skinned Keeper. She considers him a friend, and sometimes more than that, though she doubts it could ever develop into anything serious.

: <font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">♥</font> [[Gen Quickpaw]] : Gen is her friend, and usually nothing more than that. However, when the alcohol starts flowing and things start getting a bit crazy, she has wound up in his bed at least once. She admires the Seeker for his quick wit and humor, and is still determined to beat him in a rooftop race. Her feelings towards him have continued to flourish. And now that things have been worked out with Flick, she feels like she can be more open with him about her love.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Aurus Faith]] : This innocent young Keeper is another friend of Tikka's that went from platonic to "friends with benefits". Her room at the inn was a mess, and so when she found out that Aurus was a general laborer, she enlisted his services as what amounted to basically her live-in maid. She pays him a fair wage, calls him her "Swabbie", and lets him stay in her room -- which she hardly ever occupies. Though the times when she *is* around, she has nothing against sharing her bed.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Rashaka Larola]] : This older lalafell quickly became a father figure of sorts to Tikka. He was the first that she confided in about her dual identity, and she holds a certain affection for him.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">●</font> [[Lynn'wo Vahnal]] : Lynn'wo "Sparrow" Vahnal was the first man that Tikka had ever truly loved. The pair had hit it off immediately. They were an impressive comedy duo, and partners in crime. They often talked about investing in a ship together to sail the world, one that they would name 'Ted'. She took off her mask for him, let him see her real self both physically and emotionally. He reciprocated by tearing out her heart and leaving her for another woman, leaving Tikka crestfallen and defeated. When her mask went back on, she vowed that she would never leave herself that vulnerable again. While she is still upset over the whole issue, she has decided that if Sparrow sends her rogue related work, she'd be more than happy to accept it. After all, emotion has no place in business. Even after their break, she had feelings for him for a long time. Things have cooled now, though, and Tikka has moved on with her life.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Misha Jinhri]] : The woman that Sparrow left her for, Misha tried apologizing to Tikka for the whole fiasco. At first, Tikka viewed the apology as a veiled attempt to gloat over her victory and, despite the woman's offer of friendship, decided she wanted to have nothing further to do with her. She blamed her for Sparrow leaving her more than she blamed Sparrow himself, perhaps blinded by the feelings she had for him. Her anger towards Misha has long since passed now, however. And after spending time with Misha, she realized that this was someone that she could be friends with. Tikka has recently started hosting weekly bow training sessions for Misha, to help her friend hone her own abilities.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Yorric Lesh]] : Tikka's latest business associate. She doesn't know much about this man other than he seems to know how to run a good scam. She has recently agreed to help him with a shady arrangement, and he won serious points with her when he provided advance payment in the form of sparkly gems and sugar cubes. And as everyone knows, TikkaPoints(tm) are one of the most valuable commodities in all of Eorzea.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Reza'li Kaahn]] : She hooked up with this Keeper for what she'd intended to be a one night stand. However, her interest was piqued when he not only drew sketches of her, but he had a proclivity towards burning things. And Tikka likes fire.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">●</font> [[Flynt Knoltros]] : Tikka met this miqo'te only a couple of occasions, but he was fun enough to converse with. On their first meeting, she'd convinced him to leave the Quicksands with her. He believed he was being led into an ambush, so he secretly contacted a friend of his to shadow their progress. When Tikka found out that he thought she was setting him up to rob him, she was both amused and disappointed -- she was sure she projected a less shadier image than that.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Arianne Soren]] : Tikka has grown a lot more fond of Ari in a short amount of time. While she still doesn't know a whole lot about her, she enjoys Ari's attitude, the way she's nicknamed Tikka "Squirrel", and she feels a genuine sort of affection for the woman. She views her as someone that she can confide in.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[C'sanhsa Tia]] : She met this miqo'te in one of the rare times when she had her mask off in the Quicksand. Fresh from her breakup with Sparrow, and needing an excuse to abandon a really bad conversation with a rude hyur, she went up and butted into C'sanhsa's conversation with Jihan Rowe. Neither minded, and they helped to console her. Then her miniature sand golem appeared and started stomping around, and captured the group's interest.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Jihan Rowe]] : This miqo'te was with C'sanhsa when Tikka came up and butted into their conversation. He took particular interest in Sandcastle, and attempted to posit some theories as to how such a thing could have come to be. Tikka still remains convinced that the golem comes as part of an elaborate curse placed upon her by the bugs. She IS getting too close, after all.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Star Flicker]] : Flick is Gen's girlfriend, and Tikka respects that. She hasn't spent much time getting to know her, but from the few times that they've interacted she's liked her. Lately she's overheard her saying some very unflattering things about her, but can't entirely blame her. After all, she was sleeping with her boyfriend for awhile, under the impression that they had an open relationship. At one point, Flick tried to literally murder her with a sword. But since that time, things have improved and they've been far more civil to each other. There's even been talk of letting their children play together.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Erik Ketch]] : Tikka only recently met this hyur, but he has a habit of surprising her with delectable pastries. He would have remained just another face around the company house to her, but he scored big points when he stuck up for her when a Gridanian investigator appeared and started listing charges against her. Since she had nowhere to stay since her room at the Quicksand exploded, he graciously set up a cot for her in his room in the free company house, and gave her full access to his quarters.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Anton Borneheld]] : One of the first friends that Tikka made during her nightly carousing at the Quicksand, although he disappeared for a long period of time. When he returned again, she almost didn't recognize him, and almost certainly forgot his name. But they became reacquainted again at the grand ball in Ul'dah, where he made a habit of trying to follow her on her insane leaps off of the balconies. Tikka enjoys playing off of Anton's banter, and loves the way that his wit seems to stack with hers. She sees him as a potential partner in crime.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Appearance & Personality</div>===
:
Pyha'to is a young man who has seen more than someone his age should have. Though he maintains a normally calm and easy-going demeanor, it isn't hard to tell that his gaze his haunted by memories of his past. Neither tall nor short, he stands as an average example of his species, and his athletic build hints at someone who spends much of his time on the practice field. He walks with precision and confidence, though without any sign of arrogance.

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

Pyha'to and his sister, Sumari, were both born and raised in the secret underground enclave of the Dusk Dancers. The Dusk Dancers was a group of rogues that operated independently of any of the larger thieves guilds based out of the three major Eorzean city-states. Their existence was tolerated due to their altruistic nature – their mission was to help anyone who came to them with problems which were too complicated to be handled by members of any local authorities.

Their mother and father had an open relationship with each other. When Pyha'to and Sumari were just babies, they were introduced to their half-sister, L'anya Kharja, who was the result of their father falling for a Seeker woman who was part of a more traditional Seeker tribe. L'tarra Khoran had to keep her visits to their group a secret, and her daughter was named in a traditional Seeker fashion, as she had to maintain the ruse that the baby's father was L'kharja Nunh, a man with influence within her tribe. Though visits were less than frequent, Pyha'to and Sumari accepted L'anya as their sibling and, as they grew older, the three played together whenever L'tarra brought little L'anya to visit.

The caverns their group inhabited were located within the Shroud. They were an expansive network of tunnels, and were crisscrossed with underground streams and waterfalls. For two young children, these proved irresistible to explore. Pyha'to and Sumari (along with any of the other Dusk Dancer children who wished to tag along, or L'anya if she was currently visiting) had their own series of adventures within those tunnels – they held off hordes of monsters, saved countless princesses (and princes, at Sumari's insistence), their adventure limited only by the scope of their imaginations.

When he was old enough, Pyha'to began learning skills which would be useful to the group. He spent much time in the outdoors with the group's hunters and trackers. He loved the outdoors, loved the wilderness. He learned how to read signs from sets of tracks, how to stalk prey, and how to set up useful traps. Once he was big enough to wield a weapon, he found himself gravitating towards the longspear as his weapon of choice, though he also received training in a number of different weapons, and was also trained in a variety of unarmed fighting techniques.

L'anya often watched him train, though her mother was reluctant to let her join in. Pyha'to argued that she should learn how to defend herself. With L'tarra watching, he showed L'anya the basics. He was only a novice himself, but L'tarra quickly realized how valuable such instruction was. She asked if Pyha'to could convince his father to teach her daughter as well. Hanji'a had been reluctant to provide training, since he didn't want to endanger L'anya if L'kharja Nunh discovered her skills and found out where she had learned them. However, in the end Pyha'to convinced his father that L'anya would only be safer if she knew how to fight, and soon L'anya started practicing with the group's young trainees whenever she came to visit.

In the end, L'kharja Nunh eventually did discover the true origins of his “daughter”. While L'anya mostly appeared to be a Seeker, there were hints at her half-breed heritage. L'kharja had spies watching L'tarra and despite her caution, her meetings with the Dusk Dancers were discovered. L'kharja was out for revenge. For years he had been made to look like a fool. He hired a band of assassins and, accompanying them to the Dusk Dancer enclave, he began murdering any that he believed were implicit in this deception. They swept through the caverns, murdering men and women alike, slaughtering children.

Hanji'a and Pyha were each slain by the vindictive nunh, though not before urging their children to flee. They stole through the caverns, hounded by L'kharja and his assassins. Just before they reached the surface, it became obvious that they were going to be overtaken. Pyha'to urged Sumari and L'anya onwards, then turned to buy them some time.

Sumari turned to stay but, when she saw L'anya do the same, she was left with little choice but to flee with her younger sister. Pyha'to fought bravely and, while he possessed a fierce warrior spirit, he was still just a novice and no match for a band of trained assassins. Still, he was able to occupy them long enough while his sisters slipped away.

During the fight, Pyha'to was knocked off a rickety wooden bridge that spanned a gap in the canyon. He was knocked unconscious and left for dead by the assassins. When he finally awoke, he was being cared for by Sumari. It was then that she told him the sad truth – though she'd done her best to keep L'anya safe, they had gotten separated in the forest. By the time she'd managed to evade her own pursuers and had gone back to search for her sister, she came across L'kharja Nunh. He was bleeding, mortally wounded. When she had confronted him, he held up his bloody weapon and sneered. L'anya was dead. Sumari was about to attack, to end the man's life, when she heard the assassins closing in once again. She had no choice but to turn and flee. At least L'kharja was in no condition to go after her.

Sumari helped Pyha'to out of the chasm. While Pyha'to wanted to go back and bury the bodies, Sumari reasoned that they couldn't return so soon after the attack – it would surely be under some sort of watch. The pair left their home behind and traveled to the nearby city-state of Gridania.

After he had recovered, Pyha'to became obsessed with revenge. He strove constantly to better himself, working on his skills and honing his abilities. To earn enough coin to get by, both he and his sister became bounty hunters – tracking down escaped criminals and wanted targets, and returning them to whomever was funding the contract. This line of work enabled him to create a network of informants, which he has steadily been using to gather information on L'kharja Nunh and his allies.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Developments</div>===
:
: ● Has recently learned through his contacts that his half-sister, L'anya, may still be alive.

: ● Pyha'to and his sister followed the movements of L'kharja's men, and recently discovered them converging on an area in Mist. Pyha'to found L'anya there but, when he confronted her, she fled -- likely assuming that he was working with some form of local law enforcement. He tailed her to the company headquarters of the Light Crusaders, and arrived just in time for L'kharja's men to ambush L'anya. Pyha'to and several of the Light Crusader members rushed to her aid, but were unable to prevent them from abducting her.

: ● The culmination of many months of effort and planning enabled Pye and his allies to track down where L'kharja had taken L'anya. In the time since Pyha'to had known L'kharja, the man had grown in power and influence. He was now a high ranking cultist, working for a primal cult known as the Eyes of Zzahg'ghazz -- a group who intend to summon their insect god, the 'Singing Lord of Shadows' to Eorzea. They were based in a volcano lair about a day's travel by airship off the coast of Limsa Lominsa. Pye and his allies infiltrated the stronghold via a special aetheryte they'd gained access to, while a fleet sent by the Maelstrom engaged the cultists in a frontal assault. They managed to find L'anya, who had been brainwashed and turned into a magitek-augmented assassin, and subdued her. They fought against L'kharja as well, but before they could land the killing blow, he managed to escape.

As there is no longer a bounty on this individual that has been posted by anyone that he would care to work for, Pyha'to was willing to let her go with no hard feelings.

With the aid of one of Valkhiss's angry ex girlfriends, Pye and Sumari were able to track Valkhiss down. Due to the elusive nature of their prey, they needed to disable him quickly. To this end, Pye convinced Sumari to use an untested device that she had created, to aid in his capture. The device worked, but arguably too well. It overloaded Valkhiss's central nervous system, rendered him unconscious, but then wiped his long term memories. When he awoke, he had no memory of who he was, and his interrogation yielded nothing that could help them in finding L'anya. Pye doesn't trust Lasher, not as far as he can throw the man. But his sister has convinced him that they need him alive. For the time being, Pye has left his care in Sumari's hands, because he knows that if he gets too close, bad things will happen.

The cultist had gotten advantage over him and was about to knock him into the abyss, when Garnet came to his aid and saved his life. The two spent the night together, and Pye felt an immediate sort of attraction to her -- an attraction that continued even after learning of her true heritage. Garnet wound up pregnant with his child and, while neither of them had any real intention of pursuing a romantic relationship with one another, they have remained friends.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Appearance & Personality</div>===
:
Sumari is a bright young woman with a positive outlook on life despite what she has experienced in the past. Her silver hair is kept in dreads, and her blue eyes shine with an inner light of intelligence. She is petite in build and, while not out of shape by any means, she has the physical build of someone who lets magic (or her brother) handle most of the heavy lifting. She loves intelligent conversation, but has no patience for boring people. She has a wild imagination, and often gets lost in her own stories and fabrications.

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

Sumari and her brother, Pyha'to, were both born and raised in the secret underground enclave of the Dusk Dancers. The Dusk Dancers was a group of rogues that operated independently of any of the larger thieves guilds based out of the three major Eorzean city-states. Their existence was tolerated due to their altruistic nature – their mission was to help anyone who came to them with problems which were too complicated to be handled by members of any local authorities.

Their mother and father had an open relationship with each other. When Sumari and Pyha'to were just babies, they were introduced to their half-sister, L'anya Kharja, who was the result of their father falling for a Seeker woman who was part of a more traditional Seeker tribe. L'tarra Khoran had to keep her visits to their group a secret, and her daughter was named in a traditional Seeker fashion, as she had to maintain the ruse that the baby's father was L'kharja Nunh, a man with influence within her tribe. Though visits were less than frequent, Sumari and Pyha'to accepted L'anya as their sibling and, as they grew older, the three played together whenever L'tarra brought little L'anya to visit.

Magical talent was seemingly absent in their family's bloodline on both sides of the family. Pyha'to and L'anya likewise showed no sign of mystical affinity, and everyone was certain that all three children would continue the family legacy. However, Sumari manifested her gifts at an early age, much to the surprise of everyone. Not only did she have a magical gift, but she had quite a strong innate talent. She was always accidentally setting something on fire, much to the delight of her half-sister, L'anya.

While her brother honed his martial skills on the practice fields, Sumari was instead inducted into the small cloister of mages that the Dusk Dancers kept in their enclave. She soon learned to direct and shape her magical energies, and discovered that she had a special affinity for destruction. Sumari also discovered that she enjoyed learning how things worked. In her spare time she often worked with the Dusk Dancer Engineering Corps, and helped to take things apart and put them back together again.

But her happy life within the enclave was soon to change. L'kharja Nunh soon discovered that L'tarra had been deceiving him about L'anya's origins. When he learned about the Dusk Dancers, and that L'anya's true father was one of their lieutenants, he couldn't let the insult stand. Accompanied by a group of assassins, he swept through the enclave, bringing murder and destruction in his wake.
Hanji'a and Pyha fought to keep their children safe, but they were each slain by L'kharja. Sumari and Pyha'to managed to escape, with L'anya in tow, but with the assassins right on their heels. As they neared the surface and it was clear that they were about to be overtaken, Pyha'to turned and stood fast, ready to buy Sumari and L'anya time to escape. Sumari refused to abandon her twin at first, but when she saw that L'anya wouldn't flee without her, she was left with no choice but to leave.

They fled into the forest, but Pyha'to's sacrifice hadn't given them much breathing room. They could hear the assassins closing in. The ground gave way beneath L'anya's feet and she tumbled down a steep embankment. Sumari couldn't catch her in time, and knew that if she went after her, they would both be overtaken. She stopped long enough to spot the assassins, sent a torrent of flame towards them, then took off in another direction in the hopes of leading them away from her half-sister.

The gambit worked and the assassins followed her through the forest. After an extended game of cat and mouse, she finally managed to evade her pursuers. She returned to search for L'anya but, as she closed in on where she'd last spotted her, she came across the mortally wounded form of L'kharja Nunh making his way through the forest. She confronted him, and he presented her with his bloody weapon, told her that he'd just killed her sister. Rage built up inside her and she was about to incinerate the vindictive nunh, when she heard his men approaching. Left with little choice, she fled back into the forest.
After some time had passed, she stealthily returned to the caves to search for survivors. Her parents were dead, as was everyone she had ever known. Sumari was about to give in to despair when, as she crossed a bridge leading towards the cavern's exit, she heard the muffled sounds of labored breathing coming from below. Sumari climbed down into the chasm beneath the bridge, and she discovered that Pyha'to was severely wounded, but still alive.

She managed to rig up a harness and help Pyha'to out of the chasm. He suggested that they return to bury the bodies, but Sumari reasoned that L'kharja likely had men stationed to watch the enclave, and there was no way that they could remove that many bodies without drawing attention to themselves. They fled to the city-state of Gridania, and she looked after her twin while he recovered from his wounds.
Once he was well again, they decided they needed a plan. They had very little coin to their name, which meant they needed to figure out a way to earn more. Sumari spotted a notice on a nearby board which listed escaped criminals in the area. With her brother's tracking skills and martial prowess and her own mystical talent, she reasoned that it would be an easy thing to track some of them down.
They became bounty hunters, a career which wound up making them some useful contacts. Although their past was behind them, Sumari and Pyha'to vowed to find L'kharja Nunh and bring him to justice – one way or the other.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Developments</div>===
:
● Has recently discovered that her half-sister, L'anya, may still be alive.

● With the aid of a large group of friends and allies, and several months of planning, L'anya has been rescued and retrieved from the cultist stronghold where she was being held.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Pyha'to Polaali]] : Sumari's twin brother. She shares a deep connection with him, and he is entirely too protective of her. As her last living family member (that she is aware of), the feeling is definitely mutual.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Tikka Swift]] : Known to her as L'anya, Sumari and her brother have recently discovered that she is alive. However, before they were able to reunite with their half-sister, L'anya was abducted by L'kharja Nunh's men. Sumari and her brother are now working alongside L'anya's various friends to try and get her back.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Vanilla Wayfarer]] : Sumari met Vanilla shortly after L'anya's abduction. L'anya was one of Vanilla's best friends and the abduction hit her particularly hard, and she told Sumari that she felt weak and helpless. Sumari could identify with Vanilla's feelings, as she had gone through the same thing when she believed that L'kharja Nunh murdered her sister. She now feels a certain sense of responsibility towards the girl.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Arianne Soren]] : While looking for L'anya, Sumari showed Arianne a picture of her while at the Quicksand in Ul'dah. Arianne knew L'anya as Tikka Swift, but she feigned ignorance as she didn't know who Sumari was, and assumed that if someone was looking for Tikka, it was bad. Sumari has since learned that Arianne is a member of the Light Crusaders. She doesn't blame Arianne for her deception, but she does believe that if the woman had been more up front with her from the start, there is a chance that it may have prevented L'anya's kidnapping.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">●</font> [[Glow N'amownoc]] : The subject of one of the first bounty contracts that she and her brother accepted. This contract was also their first significant failure. However, while they failed to capture this elusive target, their target -- unintentionally or not -- led them to stumble across an underground slave trafficking ring that they were subsequently able to put a stop to. The bounty for capturing the criminals worked out to be more than Glow's was worth. As there is no longer a bounty on this individual that has been posted by anyone that she would care to work for, Sumari's feelings towards her are neutral.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Gen Quickpaw]] : Sumari met Gen once or twice after her sister's abduction, but she didn't really get to know him after she worked with him while investigating certain aspects of her sister's abduction. After a night of heavy drinking and a night of equally heavy passion, she's discovered that she gets along fairly well the with rogue.

: <font style="color:#F02311;" size="3">♥</font> [[Valkhiss Lasher]] : He was the mage responsible for creating the portal that enabled L'kharja Nunh's men to abduct her sister, L'anya. Sumari and Pyha'to tracked him down with the help of one of Valkhiss's angry ex girlfriends. They sought to capture him and needed to take their quarry down quickly due to the elusive nature of their prey. As such, Pye convinced Sumari to take an untested gadget into the field. The device worked, but it worked too well. It overloaded Lasher's nervous system and wiped his long term memory. When he came to, he was a different person. Although she didn't trust him at first, her time spent guarding him as caused Sumari to realize that the man Valkhiss is now is not the one that he once was. Her trust eventually grew into something more, and she now considers him someone that she cares for deeply. He has since used his magic to help Sumari and her allies rescue L'anya from the clutches of the cultists that abducted her.

'''Tikka Swift''', sometimes known as "Tabitha Emberfury", sometimes known as "Princess", sometimes known as "Hey, you, stop burning things!" is a miqo'te thief and street rat who has no current permanent place of residence. During the day, she can often be found on the streets of Ul'dah, performing elaborate feats of stage magic and acrobatics in order to draw crowds of marks to make for easy pickpocketing. At night, she plies her trade across the rooftops of the city, testing her lockpicking, safecracking, and trapfinding skills out in the homes of various unsuspecting noblemen. It has recently been discovered that her birth name is L'anya Kharja. Given that she's also learned that L'Kharja Nunh is not only NOT her real father, but he's the one who murdered her family, Tikka has decided that her *real* birth name is L'anya Polaali.

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

Tikka is an acrobat and it shows through her build. While not overly strong, she is extremely agile and dextrous. She has a small frame and is very light, but uses that to her advantage, both to throw people off guard and to throw herself around. Her hair is a mix of red and white, though the white highlights are a natural coloration rather than a dye job. Her eyes are perhaps her most striking feature, a vivid green that often shimmer with energy and youthful exuberance. Although the young thief appears to be a Seeker, a clue to her hybrid heritage is in her slightly elongated canines -- which are far more pronounced than a Seeker's should be.

A hedonist at heart, Tikka lives a wild and crazy lifestyle. She acts on impulse, and does what she feels like doing at any given time, without any heed to potential consequences. She enjoys being random, a trait that often convinces people that she's actually at least partially insane. Plus she is generally high on sugar cubes, and that contributes significantly to her hyperactivity.

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

Tikka's mother was part of the Viper ( L ) tribe, and was one consort of many for one of the tribe's nunh's. She got pregnant by a Keeper rogue that she had fallen in love with. Since things would be bad if anyone ever found out the truth, she did her best to trick the nunh into thinking that the baby was his. Fortunately, Tikka was born with mostly Seeker features, save for her elongated canines and heightened sense of nightvision. She continued her relationship with the Keeper, and often brought Tikka to meet her real father in secret.

When she was old enough, her father started teaching her rogue skills, and she hung out with him and his group. It was because of this continued interaction that the nunh of her tribe eventually found out about the truth. He tried to have Tikka and her mother killed, but Tikka's father and his band of rogues swooped in to pull them out of danger. However, the insult would not stand, and the nunh gathered up men of his own. They pursued the band and, during the battle, Tikka's parents (along with most of the rogues) were killed.

But before they died, they urged Tikka to escape. The young rogue ran for her life, but the nunh soon caught up to her. They fought, and he beat her to within an inch of her life. But before he could land the final blow, she struck him with a knife just below the heart. His own blow proved a glancing one, but it bounced her head off a rock and Tikka went unconscious. Leaving her dying, the nunh retreated to seek medical aid -- he couldn't tell anyone the truth of what had happened, for fear of what would happen to his status if it became known that he was nearly killed by not only a female, but a female child.

Soon afterwards, Tikka was discovered by a traveling band of mercenaries -- Louis, Reis, and Shin. The trio of adventurers took her in and nursed her back to health. But after she had recovered, Tikka recalled nothing of her former life. The adventurers invited her to join them. Since she couldn't remember her name, they helped her think of one. Louis started to train her to defend herself, but when he did so, he soon discovered that she had several innate talents related to thievery. He called her 'Swift', because she was innately fast on her feet and quick fingered. Her role within the group determined, she set off with the trio in search of adventure.

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

: ● Had her heart broken in a relationship with Sparrow. Until she met him, Tikka had never loved anyone before, at least not as far as she could remember. She'd been with a lot of guys, and had certainly felt attraction. But she'd never even considered becoming exclusive with someone. That's why it was so much harder for her when it turned out that he was in love with someone else. This relationship has had a huge impact on Tikka. She has withdrawn, choosing to distance herself even further from people emotionally. She has also found comfort in the bottle, deciding that being drunk all the time keeps her mind from wandering back to the comfort she'd found in his arms.

: ● During a beach party, Tikka was refusing to go into the water to join the rest of her friends due to her fear of sharks. Instead, she stubbornly camped out on the beach and built herself a sand castle. After awhile the others managed to coax her out to join them. For unknown reasons, the sand castle animated and became a sort of miniature sand golem. From that moment, it started following her around like it was somehow connected to her. She cannot currently figure out a way to rid herself of this construct. She has tried smashing it, slicing it into pieces, dropping it from high altitude, burning it, and having mages throw magic at it. It has thus far managed to reconstruct itself each time. She has since named it 'Sandcastle' and treats it like an annoying pet. Her theory is that someone who doesn't like her placed some sort of a curse on her. Currently, in order to give herself a few moments of freedom from it, she has taken to bursting it apart into tiny pieces, putting the pieces into separate containers, filling them with water, and sealing them. Each time, Sandcastle has somehow managed to escape, reform, and locate her again. How long this process takes seems to vary from a few hours to a few days.

: ● Tikka has recently been hired to help rig some fights run by her friends Yorric, Ari, and Gen. They figured that with her charisma and her enthusiasm she would have no trouble whipping up crowds into a frenzy, causing them to bet on their fighters, who would then throw the match. It's become a profitable arrangement for all parties involved. Plus Tikka has gotten lots of pretty gems and sugar cubes out of the deal.

: ● She kept a secret stash of her belongings and stolen goods at her room at the Quicksand. Recently, her room exploded and a group of unknown assailants attacked her and Yorric. There were no survivors amongst the assailants, and there were no identifying marks that might indicate their origin. The explosion was confined mostly to her room, with just a bit of damage to surrounding rooms. The wall in which her window was placed was pretty much blown wide open. Until she's able to secure a new base of operations, Tikka's current status is mobile, and she's relying on her set of emergency caches scattered throughout the major cities. Update: Her friend Cookie (Vanilla Wayfarer) offered to share her room with Tikka, thus solving her housing situation.

: ● Tikka, Glow, Gen, Yorric, and Ari perpetrated an intricately planned heist and stole millions of gil worth of artwork from an art auction in Ul'dah. They are currently sitting on this now hidden stash, preparing to sell it later.

: ● Armed assailants working for L'kharja Nunh tracked Tikka down to the headquarters of the Light Crusaders. They managed to render her unconscious and, despite the valiant efforts of her friends and company members, she was abducted and taken away to an unknown location. Tikka's half-brother, Pyha'to, and half-sister, Sumari, had been tracking L'kharja's men and wound up locating her just before she was kidnapped -- Tikka hadn't recognized either of them, and had fled from Pyha'to when he confronted her. Tikka's real name was revealed to be L'anya Kharja.

: ● Tikka spent many months in captivity. She was held by a group of cultists known as the Eyes of Zzahg'ghazz. They were a primal cult, based in a volcano lair about a day and a half's travel by airship from the shores of Limsa Lominsa. They were gathering crystals, intending to summon their insect god, the "Singing Lord of Shadows". Tikka was indoctrinated through the use of a special serum. She was given various magitek augments, and turned into a brainwashed assassin for the cult. She had her baby while in captivity, and L'kharja cruelly named it 'L'tarra', after Tikka's mother. He fully intended to raise L'tarra to worship Zzahg'ghazz as well. But thanks to the timely intervention of Tikka's friends and allies, and her brother and sister, Tikka was rescued from the cult and given an antidote to the indoctrination serum that had claimed her. While she had no memory of her time spent with the cultists, she catches glimpses in nightmares. Her baby was rescued from the clutches of the cultists as well. When she was introduced to her child by the father, Gen, Tikka dropped the L from the baby's name, and decided to call her Tarra Swiftpaw.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Ninja Lou]] : One of the members of the adventuring band who first discovered her and nursed her back to health. Louis has been a brother figure and a friend to her, and has helped her regain her fighting skills. Although she respects him and loves him like she would a real brother, she often enjoys helping herself to his coin purse, and challenging herself to see what else she can take without him noticing.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Shin Lightbringer]] : Another of the adventuring trio who saved her. Shin was a good friend to Tikka, until a night of indiscretion turned things awkward. Shin mistook their night of fun for something more, and was ashamed of himself. He disappeared, and she hasn't seen him since. Although she worries about him, she also feels that he overreacted.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Reis Ravenhart]] : Louis's wife, Reis has been a big sister figure to Tikka. While she tends to poke fun at Louis and generally makes him the butt of her jokes, Reis is the one that she respects the most. Lately Tikka has been training with a variety of different weapons under her tutelage, in order to enhance her versatility.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Glow N'amownoc]] : Although Tikka doesn't know Glow's true name, referring to her only by the nickname "Blueberry", she has become fast friends with the Keeper from the day they first met. Blueberry is another thief, and an often partner in crime. Tikka likes her a great deal, and often responds to the alias "Princess" that Blueberry has given her.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Vanilla Wayfarer]] : Vanilla aka "Cookie" is currently one of the few people who knows the real person behind the mask. She has become a person that Tikka can confide in, and Tikka views the Seeker as a close friend.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Haru Hattori]] : For a brief time, Tikka was head of security in the KHFNNDB (Keep Haru From Not Not Dying Brigade). Although she knows little about the lalafell, she knows that Haru is a member of the guard and isn't one in whom to confide her more illicit activities. Nevertheless, Haru has a great sense of humor, and Tikka has had plenty of fun playing around with her in the Quicksand.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Rhoe'a Lihzeh]] : While not truly an item, Tikka has spent more than one night with this dark skinned Keeper. She considers him a friend, and sometimes more than that, though she doubts it could ever develop into anything serious.

: <font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">♥</font> [[Gen Quickpaw]] : Gen is her friend, and usually nothing more than that. However, when the alcohol starts flowing and things start getting a bit crazy, she has wound up in his bed at least once. She admires the Seeker for his quick wit and humor, and is still determined to beat him in a rooftop race. Her feelings towards him have continued to flourish. And now that things have been worked out with Flick, she feels like she can be more open with him about her love.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Aurus Faith]] : This innocent young Keeper is another friend of Tikka's that went from platonic to "friends with benefits". Her room at the inn was a mess, and so when she found out that Aurus was a general laborer, she enlisted his services as what amounted to basically her live-in maid. She pays him a fair wage, calls him her "Swabbie", and lets him stay in her room -- which she hardly ever occupies. Though the times when she *is* around, she has nothing against sharing her bed.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Rashaka Larola]] : This older lalafell quickly became a father figure of sorts to Tikka. He was the first that she confided in about her dual identity, and she holds a certain affection for him.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">●</font> [[Lynn'wo Vahnal]] : Lynn'wo "Sparrow" Vahnal was the first man that Tikka had ever truly loved. The pair had hit it off immediately. They were an impressive comedy duo, and partners in crime. They often talked about investing in a ship together to sail the world, one that they would name 'Ted'. She took off her mask for him, let him see her real self both physically and emotionally. He reciprocated by tearing out her heart and leaving her for another woman, leaving Tikka crestfallen and defeated. When her mask went back on, she vowed that she would never leave herself that vulnerable again. While she is still upset over the whole issue, she has decided that if Sparrow sends her rogue related work, she'd be more than happy to accept it. After all, emotion has no place in business. Even after their break, she had feelings for him for a long time. Things have cooled now, though, and Tikka has moved on with her life.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Misha Jinhri]] : The woman that Sparrow left her for, Misha tried apologizing to Tikka for the whole fiasco. At first, Tikka viewed the apology as a veiled attempt to gloat over her victory and, despite the woman's offer of friendship, decided she wanted to have nothing further to do with her. She blamed her for Sparrow leaving her more than she blamed Sparrow himself, perhaps blinded by the feelings she had for him. Her anger towards Misha has long since passed now, however. And after spending time with Misha, she realized that this was someone that she could be friends with. Tikka has recently started hosting weekly bow training sessions for Misha, to help her friend hone her own abilities.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Yorric Lesh]] : Tikka's latest business associate. She doesn't know much about this man other than he seems to know how to run a good scam. She has recently agreed to help him with a shady arrangement, and he won serious points with her when he provided advance payment in the form of sparkly gems and sugar cubes. And as everyone knows, TikkaPoints(tm) are one of the most valuable commodities in all of Eorzea.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Reza'li Kaahn]] : She hooked up with this Keeper for what she'd intended to be a one night stand. However, her interest was piqued when he not only drew sketches of her, but he had a proclivity towards burning things. And Tikka likes fire.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">●</font> [[Flynt Knoltros]] : Tikka met this miqo'te only a couple of occasions, but he was fun enough to converse with. On their first meeting, she'd convinced him to leave the Quicksands with her. He believed he was being led into an ambush, so he secretly contacted a friend of his to shadow their progress. When Tikka found out that he thought she was setting him up to rob him, she was both amused and disappointed -- she was sure she projected a less shadier image than that.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Arianne Soren]] : Tikka has grown a lot more fond of Ari in a short amount of time. While she still doesn't know a whole lot about her, she enjoys Ari's attitude, the way she's nicknamed Tikka "Squirrel", and she feels a genuine sort of affection for the woman. She views her as someone that she can confide in.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[C'sanhsa Tia]] : She met this miqo'te in one of the rare times when she had her mask off in the Quicksand. Fresh from her breakup with Sparrow, and needing an excuse to abandon a really bad conversation with a rude hyur, she went up and butted into C'sanhsa's conversation with Jihan Rowe. Neither minded, and they helped to console her. Then her miniature sand golem appeared and started stomping around, and captured the group's interest.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Jihan Rowe]] : This miqo'te was with C'sanhsa when Tikka came up and butted into their conversation. He took particular interest in Sandcastle, and attempted to posit some theories as to how such a thing could have come to be. Tikka still remains convinced that the golem comes as part of an elaborate curse placed upon her by the bugs. She IS getting too close, after all.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Star Flicker]] : Flick is Gen's girlfriend, and Tikka respects that. She hasn't spent much time getting to know her, but from the few times that they've interacted she's liked her. Lately she's overheard her saying some very unflattering things about her, but can't entirely blame her. After all, she was sleeping with her boyfriend for awhile, under the impression that they had an open relationship. At one point, Flick tried to literally murder her with a sword. But since that time, things have improved and they've been far more civil to each other. There's even been talk of letting their children play together.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Erik Ketch]] : Tikka only recently met this hyur, but he has a habit of surprising her with delectable pastries. He would have remained just another face around the company house to her, but he scored big points when he stuck up for her when a Gridanian investigator appeared and started listing charges against her. Since she had nowhere to stay since her room at the Quicksand exploded, he graciously set up a cot for her in his room in the free company house, and gave her full access to his quarters.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Anton Borneheld]] : One of the first friends that Tikka made during her nightly carousing at the Quicksand, although he disappeared for a long period of time. When he returned again, she almost didn't recognize him, and almost certainly forgot his name. But they became reacquainted again at the grand ball in Ul'dah, where he made a habit of trying to follow her on her insane leaps off of the balconies. Tikka enjoys playing off of Anton's banter, and loves the way that his wit seems to stack with hers. She sees him as a potential partner in crime.

(A WIP... Until I stop being lazy and finish my Wiki page. ;-;)

Fairly new to the city of Ul’dah (August, 2014), Misha has already started to settle in and explore what opportunities await for her there. As well as trying to stay out of ‘too’ much trouble.

===Face and Hair===

One of the first things people would notice right away about Misha is her bright orange and unruly hair. The only thing keeping it somewhat tamed is a simple hairband. Her hair looks clean and healthy, along with no apparent tangles, but it is very thick and wild, similar to a lion's mane. Rarely she will attempt to battle against the beast of hair and use as much styling gel as she can to put it in an elegant hairstyle. However, this usually doesn't last long, and the monster of strands manages to rage once more.

For years she kept her hair very short and dyed it burgundy for a reason she keeps secret. However, after a few months upon her arrival to Ul'dah, she stopped dying it and let it begin to grow out.

Misha's face isn't anything terribly remarkable. It's slightly rounded, giving her a slightly playful and youthful look. Her almond-shaped eyes are large and intense, with irises that are bright emerald green in color. Being a Seeker, her pupils are slitted, only making the color of her eyes more vibrant. Thick black lashes outline her eyes, and perched not too high above them are small and thin eyebrows.

A small, upturned nose rests right above her plump lips, which are often either smiling of giving a sly grin.

The only distinct feature left about her are the tiger-like markings (or face paint/tattoos) that cover a good portion of her face. They're not not too dark in color, but still rather noticeable. These only add to the overall wild and fierce appearance of her, though the rounded face detracts a bit from that.

===Body===

On the shorter side, she stands at five fulms and three ilms (five feet and three inches), being a slightly lower than average height for her gender and race.

Misha is not a fragile or dainty lady. Her curvaceous figure is lean and toned, being a bit more "pear shaped" with wide hips and long, strong looking legs. Her upper body is more slim, less muscle in her arms, but overall she does look very fit.

Having lived in the desert all her life, her skin is sunkissed and tan, and has small scars across her form - though nothing too noticeable or severe, along with hands that are somewhat calloused. Her tail is a bit on the longer side for a Seeker, thick but with short fur. It's often seen swishing about when moving, helping with balance and coordination.

'''Good Traits:'''
Outgoing, Friendly, Confident, Optimistic, Clever, Tenacious

'''Neutral Traits:'''
Very Curious, Short Attention Span, Goofy

'''Bad Traits:'''
Short Temper, Opinionated, Nosy, Loud, Stubborn

Misha is a very personable and outgoing young woman, a social butterfly. She is almost always friendly, unless someone decides to taunt or insult her, then her short temper may cause her to snap at someone. Although she tries to be kind, she also is very blunt and straightforward, which tends to make her be or seem opinionated and/or rude with certain remarks or situations. But she does mean well.

Some may call her a trouble maker, but she corrects this term and instead says she's a trouble finder. This is usually because she is a very curious (and sometimes nosy) individual. This usually ends up with her being in the wrong place at the wrong time, and more often than not has her dealing with all sorts of trouble. Good thing she also claims to be talented at getting out of trouble as well. Which has worked for her well!... So far.

This feisty woman seems to almost always be bursting with energy, and is often seen on her feet and being active in one way or another. Most of the time she's seen either socializing, working, or off fighting. She loves a good spar, and often tries to challenge herself in fighting competitions, saying she enjoys meeting new people, improving her skills, and always looking for a way to make some extra gil.

Although she works a lot and tries to find ways to make gil, she is not a greedy person. She has plenty of morals she stands by, and is often offering or seeking ways to help others. Whenever a situation presents itself, she does her best to do the right thing. Even if she makes a mistake, she tries her best to make up for it, even if that means swallowing her pride and apologizing.

She seems to take some offense when others treat her as if she were weak or try to act as if she were below them. She often hides any insecurities she has, which is why she may appear to be smiling and happy all the time, not wanting anyone else to see her in a vulnerable state.

WIP

(Just a short blurb to clear some things up, retconned some things, will get to some other history later) Since her arrival to Ul'dah, Misha has been in two relationships that have since split apart, both with Seeker Tias. She remains friends with both them to this day. She has never been Eternally Bonded, though was proposed to by the last Tia. They realized they had some differences and mutually split apart. She's currently in a relationship with a Midlander, Anton, which is a new and different for her, but she's enjoying her time with him and the two seemed to click immediately.

'''Tikka Swift''', sometimes known as "Tabitha Emberfury", sometimes known as "Princess", sometimes known as "Hey, you, stop burning things!" is a miqo'te thief and street rat who has no current permanent place of residence. During the day, she can often be found on the streets of Ul'dah, performing elaborate feats of stage magic and acrobatics in order to draw crowds of marks to make for easy pickpocketing. At night, she plies her trade across the rooftops of the city, testing her lockpicking, safecracking, and trapfinding skills out in the homes of various unsuspecting noblemen. It has recently been discovered that her birth name is L'anya Kharja. Given that she's also learned that L'Kharja Nunh is not only NOT her real father, but he's the one who murdered her family, Tikka has decided that her *real* birth name is L'anya Polaali.

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

Tikka is an acrobat and it shows through her build. While not overly strong, she is extremely agile and dextrous. She has a small frame and is very light, but uses that to her advantage, both to throw people off guard and to throw herself around. Her hair is a mix of red and white, though the white highlights are a natural coloration rather than a dye job. Her eyes are perhaps her most striking feature, a vivid green that often shimmer with energy and youthful exuberance. Although the young thief appears to be a Seeker, a clue to her hybrid heritage is in her slightly elongated canines -- which are far more pronounced than a Seeker's should be.

A hedonist at heart, Tikka lives a wild and crazy lifestyle. She acts on impulse, and does what she feels like doing at any given time, without any heed to potential consequences. She enjoys being random, a trait that often convinces people that she's actually at least partially insane. Plus she is generally high on sugar cubes, and that contributes significantly to her hyperactivity.

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

Tikka's mother was part of the Viper ( L ) tribe, and was one consort of many for one of the tribe's nunh's. She got pregnant by a Keeper rogue that she had fallen in love with. Since things would be bad if anyone ever found out the truth, she did her best to trick the nunh into thinking that the baby was his. Fortunately, Tikka was born with mostly Seeker features, save for her elongated canines and heightened sense of nightvision. She continued her relationship with the Keeper, and often brought Tikka to meet her real father in secret.

When she was old enough, her father started teaching her rogue skills, and she hung out with him and his group. It was because of this continued interaction that the nunh of her tribe eventually found out about the truth. He tried to have Tikka and her mother killed, but Tikka's father and his band of rogues swooped in to pull them out of danger. However, the insult would not stand, and the nunh gathered up men of his own. They pursued the band and, during the battle, Tikka's parents (along with most of the rogues) were killed.

But before they died, they urged Tikka to escape. The young rogue ran for her life, but the nunh soon caught up to her. They fought, and he beat her to within an inch of her life. But before he could land the final blow, she struck him with a knife just below the heart. His own blow proved a glancing one, but it bounced her head off a rock and Tikka went unconscious. Leaving her dying, the nunh retreated to seek medical aid -- he couldn't tell anyone the truth of what had happened, for fear of what would happen to his status if it became known that he was nearly killed by not only a female, but a female child.

Soon afterwards, Tikka was discovered by a traveling band of mercenaries -- Louis, Reis, and Shin. The trio of adventurers took her in and nursed her back to health. But after she had recovered, Tikka recalled nothing of her former life. The adventurers invited her to join them. Since she couldn't remember her name, they helped her think of one. Louis started to train her to defend herself, but when he did so, he soon discovered that she had several innate talents related to thievery. He called her 'Swift', because she was innately fast on her feet and quick fingered. Her role within the group determined, she set off with the trio in search of adventure.

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

: ● Had her heart broken in a relationship with Sparrow. Until she met him, Tikka had never loved anyone before, at least not as far as she could remember. She'd been with a lot of guys, and had certainly felt attraction. But she'd never even considered becoming exclusive with someone. That's why it was so much harder for her when it turned out that he was in love with someone else. This relationship has had a huge impact on Tikka. She has withdrawn, choosing to distance herself even further from people emotionally. She has also found comfort in the bottle, deciding that being drunk all the time keeps her mind from wandering back to the comfort she'd found in his arms.

: ● During a beach party, Tikka was refusing to go into the water to join the rest of her friends due to her fear of sharks. Instead, she stubbornly camped out on the beach and built herself a sand castle. After awhile the others managed to coax her out to join them. For unknown reasons, the sand castle animated and became a sort of miniature sand golem. From that moment, it started following her around like it was somehow connected to her. She cannot currently figure out a way to rid herself of this construct. She has tried smashing it, slicing it into pieces, dropping it from high altitude, burning it, and having mages throw magic at it. It has thus far managed to reconstruct itself each time. She has since named it 'Sandcastle' and treats it like an annoying pet. Her theory is that someone who doesn't like her placed some sort of a curse on her. Currently, in order to give herself a few moments of freedom from it, she has taken to bursting it apart into tiny pieces, putting the pieces into separate containers, filling them with water, and sealing them. Each time, Sandcastle has somehow managed to escape, reform, and locate her again. How long this process takes seems to vary from a few hours to a few days.

: ● Tikka has recently been hired to help rig some fights run by her friends Yorric, Ari, and Gen. They figured that with her charisma and her enthusiasm she would have no trouble whipping up crowds into a frenzy, causing them to bet on their fighters, who would then throw the match. It's become a profitable arrangement for all parties involved. Plus Tikka has gotten lots of pretty gems and sugar cubes out of the deal.

: ● She kept a secret stash of her belongings and stolen goods at her room at the Quicksand. Recently, her room exploded and a group of unknown assailants attacked her and Yorric. There were no survivors amongst the assailants, and there were no identifying marks that might indicate their origin. The explosion was confined mostly to her room, with just a bit of damage to surrounding rooms. The wall in which her window was placed was pretty much blown wide open. Until she's able to secure a new base of operations, Tikka's current status is mobile, and she's relying on her set of emergency caches scattered throughout the major cities. Update: Her friend Cookie (Vanilla Wayfarer) offered to share her room with Tikka, thus solving her housing situation.

: ● Tikka, Glow, Gen, Yorric, and Ari perpetrated an intricately planned heist and stole millions of gil worth of artwork from an art auction in Ul'dah. They are currently sitting on this now hidden stash, preparing to sell it later.

: ● Armed assailants working for L'kharja Nunh tracked Tikka down to the headquarters of the Light Crusaders. They managed to render her unconscious and, despite the valiant efforts of her friends and company members, she was abducted and taken away to an unknown location. Tikka's half-brother, Pyha'to, and half-sister, Sumari, had been tracking L'kharja's men and wound up locating her just before she was kidnapped -- Tikka hadn't recognized either of them, and had fled from Pyha'to when he confronted her. Tikka's real name was revealed to be L'anya Kharja.

: ● Tikka spent many months in captivity. She was held by a group of cultists known as the Eyes of Zzahg'ghazz. They were a primal cult, based in a volcano lair about a day and a half's travel by airship from the shores of Limsa Lominsa. They were gathering crystals, intending to summon their insect god, the "Singing Lord of Shadows". Tikka was indoctrinated through the use of a special serum. She was given various magitek augments, and turned into a brainwashed assassin for the cult. She had her baby while in captivity, and L'kharja cruelly named it 'L'tarra', after Tikka's mother. He fully intended to raise L'tarra to worship Zzahg'ghazz as well. But thanks to the timely intervention of Tikka's friends and allies, and her brother and sister, Tikka was rescued from the cult and given an antidote to the indoctrination serum that had claimed her. While she had no memory of her time spent with the cultists, she catches glimpses in nightmares. Her baby was rescued from the clutches of the cultists as well. When she was introduced to her child by the father, Gen, Tikka dropped the L from the baby's name, and decided to call her Tarra Swiftpaw.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Ninja Lou]] : One of the members of the adventuring band who first discovered her and nursed her back to health. Louis has been a brother figure and a friend to her, and has helped her regain her fighting skills. Although she respects him and loves him like she would a real brother, she often enjoys helping herself to his coin purse, and challenging herself to see what else she can take without him noticing.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Shin Lightbringer]] : Another of the adventuring trio who saved her. Shin was a good friend to Tikka, until a night of indiscretion turned things awkward. Shin mistook their night of fun for something more, and was ashamed of himself. He disappeared, and she hasn't seen him since. Although she worries about him, she also feels that he overreacted.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Reis Ravenhart]] : Louis's wife, Reis has been a big sister figure to Tikka. While she tends to poke fun at Louis and generally makes him the butt of her jokes, Reis is the one that she respects the most. Lately Tikka has been training with a variety of different weapons under her tutelage, in order to enhance her versatility.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Glow N'amownoc]] : Although Tikka doesn't know Glow's true name, referring to her only by the nickname "Blueberry", she has become fast friends with the Keeper from the day they first met. Blueberry is another thief, and an often partner in crime. Tikka likes her a great deal, and often responds to the alias "Princess" that Blueberry has given her.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Vanilla Wayfarer]] : Vanilla aka "Cookie" is currently one of the few people who knows the real person behind the mask. She has become a person that Tikka can confide in, and Tikka views the Seeker as a close friend.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Haru Hattori]] : For a brief time, Tikka was head of security in the KHFNNDB (Keep Haru From Not Not Dying Brigade). Although she knows little about the lalafell, she knows that Haru is a member of the guard and isn't one in whom to confide her more illicit activities. Nevertheless, Haru has a great sense of humor, and Tikka has had plenty of fun playing around with her in the Quicksand.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Rhoe'a Lihzeh]] : While not truly an item, Tikka has spent more than one night with this dark skinned Keeper. She considers him a friend, and sometimes more than that, though she doubts it could ever develop into anything serious.

: <font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">♥</font> [[Gen Quickpaw]] : Gen is her friend, and usually nothing more than that. However, when the alcohol starts flowing and things start getting a bit crazy, she has wound up in his bed at least once. She admires the Seeker for his quick wit and humor, and is still determined to beat him in a rooftop race. Her feelings towards him have continued to flourish. And now that things have been worked out with Flick, she feels like she can be more open with him about her love.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Aurus Faith]] : This innocent young Keeper is another friend of Tikka's that went from platonic to "friends with benefits". Her room at the inn was a mess, and so when she found out that Aurus was a general laborer, she enlisted his services as what amounted to basically her live-in maid. She pays him a fair wage, calls him her "Swabbie", and lets him stay in her room -- which she hardly ever occupies. Though the times when she *is* around, she has nothing against sharing her bed.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Rashaka Larola]] : This older lalafell quickly became a father figure of sorts to Tikka. He was the first that she confided in about her dual identity, and she holds a certain affection for him.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">●</font> [[Lynn'wo Vahnal]] : Lynn'wo "Sparrow" Vahnal was the first man that Tikka had ever truly loved. The pair had hit it off immediately. They were an impressive comedy duo, and partners in crime. They often talked about investing in a ship together to sail the world, one that they would name 'Ted'. She took off her mask for him, let him see her real self both physically and emotionally. He reciprocated by tearing out her heart and leaving her for another woman, leaving Tikka crestfallen and defeated. When her mask went back on, she vowed that she would never leave herself that vulnerable again. While she is still upset over the whole issue, she has decided that if Sparrow sends her rogue related work, she'd be more than happy to accept it. After all, emotion has no place in business. Even after their break, she had feelings for him for a long time. Things have cooled now, though, and Tikka has moved on with her life.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Misha Jinhri]] : The woman that Sparrow left her for, Misha tried apologizing to Tikka for the whole fiasco. At first, Tikka viewed the apology as a veiled attempt to gloat over her victory and, despite the woman's offer of friendship, decided she wanted to have nothing further to do with her. She blamed her for Sparrow leaving her more than she blamed Sparrow himself, perhaps blinded by the feelings she had for him. Her anger towards Misha has long since passed now, however. And after spending time with Misha, she realized that this was someone that she could be friends with.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Yorric Lesh]] : Tikka's latest business associate. She doesn't know much about this man other than he seems to know how to run a good scam. She has recently agreed to help him with a shady arrangement, and he won serious points with her when he provided advance payment in the form of sparkly gems and sugar cubes. And as everyone knows, TikkaPoints(tm) are one of the most valuable commodities in all of Eorzea.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Reza'li Kaahn]] : She hooked up with this Keeper for what she'd intended to be a one night stand. However, her interest was piqued when he not only drew sketches of her, but he had a proclivity towards burning things. And Tikka likes fire.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">●</font> [[Flynt Knoltros]] : Tikka met this miqo'te only a couple of occasions, but he was fun enough to converse with. On their first meeting, she'd convinced him to leave the Quicksands with her. He believed he was being led into an ambush, so he secretly contacted a friend of his to shadow their progress. When Tikka found out that he thought she was setting him up to rob him, she was both amused and disappointed -- she was sure she projected a less shadier image than that.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Arianne Soren]] : Tikka has grown a lot more fond of Ari in a short amount of time. While she still doesn't know a whole lot about her, she enjoys Ari's attitude, the way she's nicknamed Tikka "Squirrel", and she feels a genuine sort of affection for the woman. She views her as someone that she can confide in.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[C'sanhsa Tia]] : She met this miqo'te in one of the rare times when she had her mask off in the Quicksand. Fresh from her breakup with Sparrow, and needing an excuse to abandon a really bad conversation with a rude hyur, she went up and butted into C'sanhsa's conversation with Jihan Rowe. Neither minded, and they helped to console her. Then her miniature sand golem appeared and started stomping around, and captured the group's interest.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Jihan Rowe]] : This miqo'te was with C'sanhsa when Tikka came up and butted into their conversation. He took particular interest in Sandcastle, and attempted to posit some theories as to how such a thing could have come to be. Tikka still remains convinced that the golem comes as part of an elaborate curse placed upon her by the bugs. She IS getting too close, after all.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Star Flicker]] : Flick is Gen's girlfriend, and Tikka respects that. She hasn't spent much time getting to know her, but from the few times that they've interacted she's liked her. Lately she's overheard her saying some very unflattering things about her, but can't entirely blame her. After all, she was sleeping with her boyfriend for awhile, under the impression that they had an open relationship. At one point, Flick tried to literally murder her with a sword. But since that time, things have improved and they've been far more civil to each other. There's even been talk of letting their children play together.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Erik Ketch]] : Tikka only recently met this hyur, but he has a habit of surprising her with delectable pastries. He would have remained just another face around the company house to her, but he scored big points when he stuck up for her when a Gridanian investigator appeared and started listing charges against her. Since she had nowhere to stay since her room at the Quicksand exploded, he graciously set up a cot for her in his room in the free company house, and gave her full access to his quarters.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Anton Borneheld]] : One of the first friends that Tikka made during her nightly carousing at the Quicksand, although he disappeared for a long period of time. When he returned again, she almost didn't recognize him, and almost certainly forgot his name. But they became reacquainted again at the grand ball in Ul'dah, where he made a habit of trying to follow her on her insane leaps off of the balconies. Tikka enjoys playing off of Anton's banter, and loves the way that his wit seems to stack with hers. She sees him as a potential partner in crime.

'''Tikka Swift''', sometimes known as "Tabitha Emberfury", sometimes known as "Princess", sometimes known as "Hey, you, stop burning things!" is a miqo'te thief and street rat who has no current permanent place of residence. During the day, she can often be found on the streets of Ul'dah, performing elaborate feats of stage magic and acrobatics in order to draw crowds of marks to make for easy pickpocketing. At night, she plies her trade across the rooftops of the city, testing her lockpicking, safecracking, and trapfinding skills out in the homes of various unsuspecting noblemen. It has recently been discovered that her birth name is L'anya Kharja. Given that she's also learned that L'Kharja Nunh is not only NOT her real father, but he's the one who murdered her family, Tikka has decided that her *real* birth name is L'anya Polaali.

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

Tikka is an acrobat and it shows through her build. While not overly strong, she is extremely agile and dextrous. She has a small frame and is very light, but uses that to her advantage, both to throw people off guard and to throw herself around. Her hair is a mix of red and white, though the white highlights are a natural coloration rather than a dye job. Her eyes are perhaps her most striking feature, a vivid green that often shimmer with energy and youthful exuberance. Although the young thief appears to be a Seeker, a clue to her hybrid heritage is in her slightly elongated canines -- which are far more pronounced than a Seeker's should be.

A hedonist at heart, Tikka lives a wild and crazy lifestyle. She acts on impulse, and does what she feels like doing at any given time, without any heed to potential consequences. She enjoys being random, a trait that often convinces people that she's actually at least partially insane. Plus she is generally high on sugar cubes, and that contributes significantly to her hyperactivity.

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

Tikka's mother was part of the Viper ( L ) tribe, and was one consort of many for one of the tribe's nunh's. She got pregnant by a Keeper rogue that she had fallen in love with. Since things would be bad if anyone ever found out the truth, she did her best to trick the nunh into thinking that the baby was his. Fortunately, Tikka was born with mostly Seeker features, save for her elongated canines and heightened sense of nightvision. She continued her relationship with the Keeper, and often brought Tikka to meet her real father in secret.

When she was old enough, her father started teaching her rogue skills, and she hung out with him and his group. It was because of this continued interaction that the nunh of her tribe eventually found out about the truth. He tried to have Tikka and her mother killed, but Tikka's father and his band of rogues swooped in to pull them out of danger. However, the insult would not stand, and the nunh gathered up men of his own. They pursued the band and, during the battle, Tikka's parents (along with most of the rogues) were killed.

But before they died, they urged Tikka to escape. The young rogue ran for her life, but the nunh soon caught up to her. They fought, and he beat her to within an inch of her life. But before he could land the final blow, she struck him with a knife just below the heart. His own blow proved a glancing one, but it bounced her head off a rock and Tikka went unconscious. Leaving her dying, the nunh retreated to seek medical aid -- he couldn't tell anyone the truth of what had happened, for fear of what would happen to his status if it became known that he was nearly killed by not only a female, but a female child.

Soon afterwards, Tikka was discovered by a traveling band of mercenaries -- Louis, Reis, and Shin. The trio of adventurers took her in and nursed her back to health. But after she had recovered, Tikka recalled nothing of her former life. The adventurers invited her to join them. Since she couldn't remember her name, they helped her think of one. Louis started to train her to defend herself, but when he did so, he soon discovered that she had several innate talents related to thievery. He called her 'Swift', because she was innately fast on her feet and quick fingered. Her role within the group determined, she set off with the trio in search of adventure.

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

: ● Had her heart broken in a relationship with Sparrow. Until she met him, Tikka had never loved anyone before, at least not as far as she could remember. She'd been with a lot of guys, and had certainly felt attraction. But she'd never even considered becoming exclusive with someone. That's why it was so much harder for her when it turned out that he was in love with someone else. This relationship has had a huge impact on Tikka. She has withdrawn, choosing to distance herself even further from people emotionally. She has also found comfort in the bottle, deciding that being drunk all the time keeps her mind from wandering back to the comfort she'd found in his arms.

: ● During a beach party, Tikka was refusing to go into the water to join the rest of her friends due to her fear of sharks. Instead, she stubbornly camped out on the beach and built herself a sand castle. After awhile the others managed to coax her out to join them. For unknown reasons, the sand castle animated and became a sort of miniature sand golem. From that moment, it started following her around like it was somehow connected to her. She cannot currently figure out a way to rid herself of this construct. She has tried smashing it, slicing it into pieces, dropping it from high altitude, burning it, and having mages throw magic at it. It has thus far managed to reconstruct itself each time. She has since named it 'Sandcastle' and treats it like an annoying pet. Her theory is that someone who doesn't like her placed some sort of a curse on her. Currently, in order to give herself a few moments of freedom from it, she has taken to bursting it apart into tiny pieces, putting the pieces into separate containers, filling them with water, and sealing them. Each time, Sandcastle has somehow managed to escape, reform, and locate her again. How long this process takes seems to vary from a few hours to a few days.

: ● Tikka has recently been hired to help rig some fights run by her friends Yorric, Ari, and Gen. They figured that with her charisma and her enthusiasm she would have no trouble whipping up crowds into a frenzy, causing them to bet on their fighters, who would then throw the match. It's become a profitable arrangement for all parties involved. Plus Tikka has gotten lots of pretty gems and sugar cubes out of the deal.

: ● She kept a secret stash of her belongings and stolen goods at her room at the Quicksand. Recently, her room exploded and a group of unknown assailants attacked her and Yorric. There were no survivors amongst the assailants, and there were no identifying marks that might indicate their origin. The explosion was confined mostly to her room, with just a bit of damage to surrounding rooms. The wall in which her window was placed was pretty much blown wide open. Until she's able to secure a new base of operations, Tikka's current status is mobile, and she's relying on her set of emergency caches scattered throughout the major cities. Update: Her friend Cookie (Vanilla Wayfarer) offered to share her room with Tikka, thus solving her housing situation.

: ● Tikka, Glow, Gen, Yorric, and Ari perpetrated an intricately planned heist and stole millions of gil worth of artwork from an art auction in Ul'dah. They are currently sitting on this now hidden stash, preparing to sell it later.

: ● Armed assailants working for L'kharja Nunh tracked Tikka down to the headquarters of the Light Crusaders. They managed to render her unconscious and, despite the valiant efforts of her friends and company members, she was abducted and taken away to an unknown location. Tikka's half-brother, Pyha'to, and half-sister, Sumari, had been tracking L'kharja's men and wound up locating her just before she was kidnapped -- Tikka hadn't recognized either of them, and had fled from Pyha'to when he confronted her. Tikka's real name was revealed to be L'anya Kharja.

: ● Tikka spent many months in captivity. She was held by a group of cultists known as the Eyes of Zzahg'ghazz. They were a primal cult, based in a volcano lair about a day and a half's travel by airship from the shores of Limsa Lominsa. They were gathering crystals, intending to summon their insect god, the "Singing Lord of Shadows". Tikka was indoctrinated through the use of a special serum. She was given various magitek augments, and turned into a brainwashed assassin for the cult. She had her baby while in captivity, and L'kharja cruelly named it 'L'tarra', after Tikka's mother. He fully intended to raise L'tarra to worship Zzahg'ghazz as well. But thanks to the timely intervention of Tikka's friends and allies, and her brother and sister, Tikka was rescued from the cult and given an antidote to the indoctrination serum that had claimed her. While she had no memory of her time spent with the cultists, she catches glimpses in nightmares. Her baby was rescued from the clutches of the cultists as well. When she was introduced to her child by the father, Gen, Tikka dropped the L from the baby's name, and decided to call her Tarra Swiftpaw.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Ninja Lou]] : One of the members of the adventuring band who first discovered her and nursed her back to health. Louis has been a brother figure and a friend to her, and has helped her regain her fighting skills. Although she respects him and loves him like she would a real brother, she often enjoys helping herself to his coin purse, and challenging herself to see what else she can take without him noticing.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Shin Lightbringer]] : Another of the adventuring trio who saved her. Shin was a good friend to Tikka, until a night of indiscretion turned things awkward. Shin mistook their night of fun for something more, and was ashamed of himself. He disappeared, and she hasn't seen him since. Although she worries about him, she also feels that he overreacted.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Reis Ravenhart]] : Louis's wife, Reis has been a big sister figure to Tikka. While she tends to poke fun at Louis and generally makes him the butt of her jokes, Reis is the one that she respects the most. Lately Tikka has been training with a variety of different weapons under her tutelage, in order to enhance her versatility.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Glow N'amownoc]] : Although Tikka doesn't know Glow's true name, referring to her only by the nickname "Blueberry", she has become fast friends with the Keeper from the day they first met. Blueberry is another thief, and an often partner in crime. Tikka likes her a great deal, and often responds to the alias "Princess" that Blueberry has given her.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Vanilla Wayfarer]] : Vanilla aka "Cookie" is currently one of the few people who knows the real person behind the mask. She has become a person that Tikka can confide in, and Tikka views the Seeker as a close friend.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Haru Hattori]] : For a brief time, Tikka was head of security in the KHFNNDB (Keep Haru From Not Not Dying Brigade). Although she knows little about the lalafell, she knows that Haru is a member of the guard and isn't one in whom to confide her more illicit activities. Nevertheless, Haru has a great sense of humor, and Tikka has had plenty of fun playing around with her in the Quicksand.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Rhoe'a Lihzeh]] : While not truly an item, Tikka has spent more than one night with this dark skinned Keeper. She considers him a friend, and sometimes more than that, though she doubts it could ever develop into anything serious.

: <font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">♥</font> [[Gen Quickpaw]] : Gen is her friend, and usually nothing more than that. However, when the alcohol starts flowing and things start getting a bit crazy, she has wound up in his bed at least once. She admires the Seeker for his quick wit and humor, and is still determined to beat him in a rooftop race. She has grown significantly closer to him, and views him with a definite sort of affection. This has left her feeling conflicted, since she knows that he is in love with another.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Aurus Faith]] : This innocent young Keeper is another friend of Tikka's that went from platonic to "friends with benefits". Her room at the inn was a mess, and so when she found out that Aurus was a general laborer, she enlisted his services as what amounted to basically her live-in maid. She pays him a fair wage, calls him her "Swabbie", and lets him stay in her room -- which she hardly ever occupies. Though the times when she *is* around, she has nothing against sharing her bed.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Rashaka Larola]] : This older lalafell quickly became a father figure of sorts to Tikka. He was the first that she confided in about her dual identity, and she holds a certain affection for him.

: <font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">♥</font> [[Lynn'wo Vahnal]] : Lynn'wo "Sparrow" Vahnal was the first man that Tikka had ever truly loved. The pair had hit it off immediately. They were an impressive comedy duo, and partners in crime. They often talked about investing in a ship together to sail the world, one that they would name 'Ted'. She took off her mask for him, let him see her real self both physically and emotionally. He reciprocated by tearing out her heart and leaving her for another woman, leaving Tikka crestfallen and defeated. When her mask went back on, she vowed that she would never leave herself that vulnerable again. While she is still upset over the whole issue, she has decided that if Sparrow sends her rogue related work, she'd be more than happy to accept it. After all, emotion has no place in business. Although she still has feelings for him, she does her best to remain emotionally distant when he is around.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">●</font> [[Misha Jinhri]] : The woman that Sparrow left her for, Misha tried apologizing to Tikka for the whole fiasco. Tikka viewed the apology as a veiled attempt to gloat over her victory and, despite the woman's offer of friendship, decided she wanted to have nothing further to do with her. She blames her for Sparrow leaving her more than she blames Sparrow himself, perhaps blinded by the feelings she had for him. Recently however, her anger towards Misha seems to have subsided, as she's proven capable of interaction with her in public settings.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Yorric Lesh]] : Tikka's latest business associate. She doesn't know much about this man other than he seems to know how to run a good scam. She has recently agreed to help him with a shady arrangement, and he won serious points with her when he provided advance payment in the form of sparkly gems and sugar cubes. And as everyone knows, TikkaPoints(tm) are one of the most valuable commodities in all of Eorzea.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Reza'li Kaahn]] : She hooked up with this Keeper for what she'd intended to be a one night stand. However, her interest was piqued when he not only drew sketches of her, but he had a proclivity towards burning things. And Tikka likes fire.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">●</font> [[Flynt Knoltros]] : Tikka met this miqo'te only a couple of occasions, but he was fun enough to converse with. On their first meeting, she'd convinced him to leave the Quicksands with her. He believed he was being led into an ambush, so he secretly contacted a friend of his to shadow their progress. When Tikka found out that he thought she was setting him up to rob him, she was both amused and disappointed -- she was sure she projected a less shadier image than that.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Arianne Soren]] : Tikka has grown a lot more fond of Ari in a short amount of time. While she still doesn't know a whole lot about her, she enjoys Ari's attitude, the way she's nicknamed Tikka "Squirrel", and she feels a genuine sort of affection for the woman. She views her as someone that she can confide in.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[C'sanhsa Tia]] : She met this miqo'te in one of the rare times when she had her mask off in the Quicksand. Fresh from her breakup with Sparrow, and needing an excuse to abandon a really bad conversation with a rude hyur, she went up and butted into C'sanhsa's conversation with Jihan Rowe. Neither minded, and they helped to console her. Then her miniature sand golem appeared and started stomping around, and captured the group's interest.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Jihan Rowe]] : This miqo'te was with C'sanhsa when Tikka came up and butted into their conversation. He took particular interest in Sandcastle, and attempted to posit some theories as to how such a thing could have come to be. Tikka still remains convinced that the golem comes as part of an elaborate curse placed upon her by the bugs. She IS getting too close, after all.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">●</font> [[Star Flicker]] : Flick is Gen's girlfriend, and Tikka respects that. She hasn't spent much time getting to know her, but from the few times that they've interacted she's liked her. Lately she's overheard her saying some very unflattering things about her, but can't entirely blame her. After all, she was sleeping with her boyfriend for awhile, under the impression that they had an open relationship. Although recently, the fact that Flick literally tried to murder her with a sword has soured Tikka's opinion towards her somewhat.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Erik Ketch]] : Tikka only recently met this hyur, but he has a habit of surprising her with delectable pastries. He would have remained just another face around the company house to her, but he scored big points when he stuck up for her when a Gridanian investigator appeared and started listing charges against her. Since she had nowhere to stay since her room at the Quicksand exploded, he graciously set up a cot for her in his room in the free company house, and gave her full access to his quarters.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Anton Borneheld]] : One of the first friends that Tikka made during her nightly carousing at the Quicksand, although he disappeared for a long period of time. When he returned again, she almost didn't recognize him, and almost certainly forgot his name. But they became reacquainted again at the grand ball in Ul'dah, where he made a habit of trying to follow her on her insane leaps off of the balconies. Tikka enjoys playing off of Anton's banter, and loves the way that his wit seems to stack with hers. She sees him as a potential partner in crime.

'''Tikka Swift''', sometimes known as "Tabitha Emberfury", sometimes known as "Princess", sometimes known as "Hey, you, stop burning things!" is a miqo'te thief and street rat who has no current permanent place of residence. During the day, she can often be found on the streets of Ul'dah, performing elaborate feats of stage magic and acrobatics in order to draw crowds of marks to make for easy pickpocketing. At night, she plies her trade across the rooftops of the city, testing her lockpicking, safecracking, and trapfinding skills out in the homes of various unsuspecting noblemen. It has recently been discovered that her birth name is L'anya Kharja. Given that she's also learned that L'Kharja Nunh is not only NOT her real father, but he's the one who murdered her family, Tikka has decided that her *real* birth name is L'anya Polaali.

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

Tikka is an acrobat and it shows through her build. While not overly strong, she is extremely agile and dextrous. She has a small frame and is very light, but uses that to her advantage, both to throw people off guard and to throw herself around. Her hair is a mix of red and white, though the white highlights are a natural coloration rather than a dye job. Her eyes are perhaps her most striking feature, a vivid green that often shimmer with energy and youthful exuberance. Although the young thief appears to be a Seeker, a clue to her hybrid heritage is in her slightly elongated canines -- which are far more pronounced than a Seeker's should be.

A hedonist at heart, Tikka lives a wild and crazy lifestyle. She acts on impulse, and does what she feels like doing at any given time, without any heed to potential consequences. She enjoys being random, a trait that often convinces people that she's actually at least partially insane. Plus she is generally high on sugar cubes, and that contributes significantly to her hyperactivity.

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

Tikka's mother was part of the Viper ( L ) tribe, and was one consort of many for one of the tribe's nunh's. She got pregnant by a Keeper rogue that she had fallen in love with. Since things would be bad if anyone ever found out the truth, she did her best to trick the nunh into thinking that the baby was his. Fortunately, Tikka was born with mostly Seeker features, save for her elongated canines and heightened sense of nightvision. She continued her relationship with the Keeper, and often brought Tikka to meet her real father in secret.

When she was old enough, her father started teaching her rogue skills, and she hung out with him and his group. It was because of this continued interaction that the nunh of her tribe eventually found out about the truth. He tried to have Tikka and her mother killed, but Tikka's father and his band of rogues swooped in to pull them out of danger. However, the insult would not stand, and the nunh gathered up men of his own. They pursued the band and, during the battle, Tikka's parents (along with most of the rogues) were killed.

But before they died, they urged Tikka to escape. The young rogue ran for her life, but the nunh soon caught up to her. They fought, and he beat her to within an inch of her life. But before he could land the final blow, she struck him with a knife just below the heart. His own blow proved a glancing one, but it bounced her head off a rock and Tikka went unconscious. Leaving her dying, the nunh retreated to seek medical aid -- he couldn't tell anyone the truth of what had happened, for fear of what would happen to his status if it became known that he was nearly killed by not only a female, but a female child.

Soon afterwards, Tikka was discovered by a traveling band of mercenaries -- Louis, Reis, and Shin. The trio of adventurers took her in and nursed her back to health. But after she had recovered, Tikka recalled nothing of her former life. The adventurers invited her to join them. Since she couldn't remember her name, they helped her think of one. Louis started to train her to defend herself, but when he did so, he soon discovered that she had several innate talents related to thievery. He called her 'Swift', because she was innately fast on her feet and quick fingered. Her role within the group determined, she set off with the trio in search of adventure.

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

: ● Had her heart broken in a relationship with Sparrow. Until she met him, Tikka had never loved anyone before, at least not as far as she could remember. She'd been with a lot of guys, and had certainly felt attraction. But she'd never even considered becoming exclusive with someone. That's why it was so much harder for her when it turned out that he was in love with someone else. This relationship has had a huge impact on Tikka. She has withdrawn, choosing to distance herself even further from people emotionally. She has also found comfort in the bottle, deciding that being drunk all the time keeps her mind from wandering back to the comfort she'd found in his arms.

: ● During a beach party, Tikka was refusing to go into the water to join the rest of her friends due to her fear of sharks. Instead, she stubbornly camped out on the beach and built herself a sand castle. After awhile the others managed to coax her out to join them. For unknown reasons, the sand castle animated and became a sort of miniature sand golem. From that moment, it started following her around like it was somehow connected to her. She cannot currently figure out a way to rid herself of this construct. She has tried smashing it, slicing it into pieces, dropping it from high altitude, burning it, and having mages throw magic at it. It has thus far managed to reconstruct itself each time. She has since named it 'Sandcastle' and treats it like an annoying pet. Her theory is that someone who doesn't like her placed some sort of a curse on her. Currently, in order to give herself a few moments of freedom from it, she has taken to bursting it apart into tiny pieces, putting the pieces into separate containers, filling them with water, and sealing them. Each time, Sandcastle has somehow managed to escape, reform, and locate her again. How long this process takes seems to vary from a few hours to a few days.

: ● Tikka has recently been hired to help rig some fights run by her friends Yorric, Ari, and Gen. They figured that with her charisma and her enthusiasm she would have no trouble whipping up crowds into a frenzy, causing them to bet on their fighters, who would then throw the match. It's become a profitable arrangement for all parties involved. Plus Tikka has gotten lots of pretty gems and sugar cubes out of the deal.

: ● She kept a secret stash of her belongings and stolen goods at her room at the Quicksand. Recently, her room exploded and a group of unknown assailants attacked her and Yorric. There were no survivors amongst the assailants, and there were no identifying marks that might indicate their origin. The explosion was confined mostly to her room, with just a bit of damage to surrounding rooms. The wall in which her window was placed was pretty much blown wide open. Until she's able to secure a new base of operations, Tikka's current status is mobile, and she's relying on her set of emergency caches scattered throughout the major cities. Update: Her friend Cookie (Vanilla Wayfarer) offered to share her room with Tikka, thus solving her housing situation.

: ● Tikka, Glow, Gen, Yorric, and Ari perpetrated an intricately planned heist and stole millions of gil worth of artwork from an art auction in Ul'dah. They are currently sitting on this now hidden stash, preparing to sell it later.

: ● Armed assailants working for L'kharja Nunh tracked Tikka down to the headquarters of the Light Crusaders. They managed to render her unconscious and, despite the valiant efforts of her friends and company members, she was abducted and taken away to an unknown location. Tikka's half-brother, Pyha'to, and half-sister, Sumari, had been tracking L'kharja's men and wound up locating her just before she was kidnapped -- Tikka hadn't recognized either of them, and had fled from Pyha'to when he confronted her. Tikka's real name was revealed to be L'anya Kharja.

: ● Tikka spent many months in captivity. She was held by a group of cultists known as the Eyes of Zzahg'ghazz. They were a primal cult, based in a volcano lair about a day and a half's travel by airship from the shores of Limsa Lominsa. They were gathering crystals, intending to summon their insect god, the "Singing Lord of Shadows". Tikka was indoctrinated through the use of a special serum. She was given various magitek augments, and turned into a brainwashed assassin for the cult. She had her baby while in captivity, and L'kharja cruelly named it 'L'tarra', after Tikka's mother. He fully intended to raise L'tarra to worship Zzahg'ghazz as well. But thanks to the timely intervention of Tikka's friends and allies, and her brother and sister, Tikka was rescued from the cult and given an antidote to the indoctrination serum that had claimed her. While she had no memory of her time spent with the cultists, she catches glimpses in nightmares. Her baby was rescued from the clutches of the cultists as well. When she was introduced to her child by the father, Gen, Tikka dropped the L from the baby's name, and decided to call her Tarra Swiftpaw.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Ninja Lou]] : One of the members of the adventuring band who first discovered her and nursed her back to health. Louis has been a brother figure and a friend to her, and has helped her regain her fighting skills. Although she respects him and loves him like she would a real brother, she often enjoys helping herself to his coin purse, and challenging herself to see what else she can take without him noticing.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Shin Lightbringer]] : Another of the adventuring trio who saved her. Shin was a good friend to Tikka, until a night of indiscretion turned things awkward. Shin mistook their night of fun for something more, and was ashamed of himself. He disappeared, and she hasn't seen him since. Although she worries about him, she also feels that he overreacted.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Reis Ravenhart]] : Louis's wife, Reis has been a big sister figure to Tikka. While she tends to poke fun at Louis and generally makes him the butt of her jokes, Reis is the one that she respects the most. Lately Tikka has been training with a variety of different weapons under her tutelage, in order to enhance her versatility.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Glow N'amownoc]] : Although Tikka doesn't know Glow's true name, referring to her only by the nickname "Blueberry", she has become fast friends with the Keeper from the day they first met. Blueberry is another thief, and an often partner in crime. Tikka likes her a great deal, and often responds to the alias "Princess" that Blueberry has given her.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Vanilla Wayfarer]] : Vanilla aka "Cookie" is currently one of the few people who knows the real person behind the mask. She has become a person that Tikka can confide in, and Tikka views the Seeker as a close friend.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Haru Hattori]] : For a brief time, Tikka was head of security in the KHFNNDB (Keep Haru From Not Not Dying Brigade). Although she knows little about the lalafell, she knows that Haru is a member of the guard and isn't one in whom to confide her more illicit activities. Nevertheless, Haru has a great sense of humor, and Tikka has had plenty of fun playing around with her in the Quicksand.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Rhoe'a Lihzeh]] : While not truly an item, Tikka has spent more than one night with this dark skinned Keeper. She considers him a friend, and sometimes more than that, though she doubts it could ever develop into anything serious.

: <font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">♥</font> [[Gen Quickpaw]] : Gen is her friend, and usually nothing more than that. However, when the alcohol starts flowing and things start getting a bit crazy, she has wound up in his bed at least once. She admires the Seeker for his quick wit and humor, and is still determined to beat him in a rooftop race. She has grown significantly closer to him, and views him with a definite sort of affection. This has left her feeling conflicted, since she knows that he is in love with another.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Aurus Faith]] : This innocent young Keeper is another friend of Tikka's that went from platonic to "friends with benefits". Her room at the inn was a mess, and so when she found out that Aurus was a general laborer, she enlisted his services as what amounted to basically her live-in maid. She pays him a fair wage, calls him her "Swabbie", and lets him stay in her room -- which she hardly ever occupies. Though the times when she *is* around, she has nothing against sharing her bed.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Rashaka Larola]] : This older lalafell quickly became a father figure of sorts to Tikka. He was the first that she confided in about her dual identity, and she holds a certain affection for him.

: <font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">♥</font> [[Lynn'wo Vahnal]] : Lynn'wo "Sparrow" Vahnal was the first man that Tikka had ever truly loved. The pair had hit it off immediately. They were an impressive comedy duo, and partners in crime. They often talked about investing in a ship together to sail the world, one that they would name 'Ted'. She took off her mask for him, let him see her real self both physically and emotionally. He reciprocated by tearing out her heart and leaving her for another woman, leaving Tikka crestfallen and defeated. When her mask went back on, she vowed that she would never leave herself that vulnerable again. While she is still upset over the whole issue, she has decided that if Sparrow sends her rogue related work, she'd be more than happy to accept it. After all, emotion has no place in business. Although she still has feelings for him, she does her best to remain emotionally distant when he is around.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">●</font> [[Misha Jinhri]] : The woman that Sparrow left her for, Misha tried apologizing to Tikka for the whole fiasco. Tikka viewed the apology as a veiled attempt to gloat over her victory and, despite the woman's offer of friendship, decided she wanted to have nothing further to do with her. She blames her for Sparrow leaving her more than she blames Sparrow himself, perhaps blinded by the feelings she had for him. Recently however, her anger towards Misha seems to have subsided, as she's proven capable of interaction with her in public settings.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Yorric Lesh]] : Tikka's latest business associate. She doesn't know much about this man other than he seems to know how to run a good scam. She has recently agreed to help him with a shady arrangement, and he won serious points with her when he provided advance payment in the form of sparkly gems and sugar cubes. And as everyone knows, TikkaPoints(tm) are one of the most valuable commodities in all of Eorzea.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Reza'li Kaahn]] : She hooked up with this Keeper for what she'd intended to be a one night stand. However, her interest was piqued when he not only drew sketches of her, but he had a proclivity towards burning things. And Tikka likes fire.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">●</font> [[Flynt Knoltros]] : Tikka met this miqo'te only a couple of occasions, but he was fun enough to converse with. On their first meeting, she'd convinced him to leave the Quicksands with her. He believed he was being led into an ambush, so he secretly contacted a friend of his to shadow their progress. When Tikka found out that he thought she was setting him up to rob him, she was both amused and disappointed -- she was sure she projected a less shadier image than that.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Arianne Soren]] : Tikka has grown a lot more fond of Ari in a short amount of time. While she still doesn't know a whole lot about her, she enjoys Ari's attitude, the way she's nicknamed Tikka "Squirrel", and she feels a genuine sort of affection for the woman. She views her as someone that she can confide in.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[C'sanhsa Tia]] : She met this miqo'te in one of the rare times when she had her mask off in the Quicksand. Fresh from her breakup with Sparrow, and needing an excuse to abandon a really bad conversation with a rude hyur, she went up and butted into C'sanhsa's conversation with Jihan Rowe. Neither minded, and they helped to console her. Then her miniature sand golem appeared and started stomping around, and captured the group's interest.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Jihan Rowe]] : This miqo'te was with C'sanhsa when Tikka came up and butted into their conversation. He took particular interest in Sandcastle, and attempted to posit some theories as to how such a thing could have come to be. Tikka still remains convinced that the golem comes as part of an elaborate curse placed upon her by the bugs. She IS getting too close, after all.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">●</font> [[Star Flicker]] : Flick is Gen's girlfriend, and Tikka respects that. She hasn't spent much time getting to know her, but from the few times that they've interacted she's liked her. Lately she's overheard her saying some very unflattering things about her, but can't entirely blame her. After all, she was sleeping with her boyfriend for awhile, under the impression that they had an open relationship. Although recently, the fact that Flick literally tried to murder her with a sword has soured Tikka's opinion towards her somewhat.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Erik Ketch]] : Tikka only recently met this hyur, but he has a habit of surprising her with delectable pastries. He would have remained just another face around the company house to her, but he scored big points when he stuck up for her when a Gridanian investigator appeared and started listing charges against her. Since she had nowhere to stay since her room at the Quicksand exploded, he graciously set up a cot for her in his room in the free company house, and gave her full access to his quarters.
</tr></table>

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Anton Borneheld]] : One of the first friends that Tikka made during her nightly carousing at the Quicksand, although he disappeared for a long period of time. When he returned again, she almost didn't recognize him, and almost certainly forgot his name. But they became reacquainted again at the grand ball in Ul'dah, where he made a habit of trying to follow her on her insane leaps off of the balconies. Tikka enjoys playing off of Anton's banter, and loves the way that his wit seems to stack with hers. She sees him as a potential partner in crime.

And lo, we have the wild Anton, back from his self-searching, soul-finding adventure into the wilds of Eorzea. He's learned his way around an axe quite well, and they seem to be his favorite tool of mass destruction, instruction, or corruption. He ran to escape a life of debt, to come back for a world of fabulous new friends, potential lovers, and enemies alike! ...Now he just needs a place to live.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Appearance & Personality</div>===
: Commonly seen wearing the lightly armored clothing that he so adores. So chosen because of his particular fighting style, he only ever gets into heavier armor when he absolutely has to. The wilds taught him one thing: To survive, you have to keep moving. With this in mind, he wears armored gauntlets and boots, with odd-looking armor plating partially covering his leggings and torso. He generally, also, doesn't wear a helmet.

Loyal to a fault, Anton tends to stick near where his friends are at. When he can't find them, not only does he get a little anxious, he tends to retreat into his mind, spacing out until absolutely necessary. This made it a bit hard for him when he first made his appearance back with 'humanity'--He wasn't used to the world anymore, only to the way of the wilds. Truly, he did meet the occasional traveler out there, but it wasn't enough to keep him from being just a little strange upon his return.

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

====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Childhood</div>====

:Unknown at present.

====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Teenage</div>====

:Unknown at present. Assumed lifestyle of street rat and gambler, probable thief?

====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Wilds</div>====

:For lack of a better term, Anton was an incredibly unlucky person. His ability at gambling was terrible, and he accrued so much debt that it had come to a head--His life, or his money. Being that he had no money, and he didn't particularly want his life to be over... He left. For fear of getting his friends hurt, he said nothing--They couldn't be used as bargaining chips if they didn't know. Just like that, he was gone. His first destination was to Limsa Lominsa, posing as a gladiator mercenary. He had minimal skill with a sword and shield, but figured he could get away with it readily enough, especially if he wore a helmet all the time to hide his identity. No such luck, and within a month he was out of there after a single bit of information from one of the bar patrons, where he'd been frequenting.

To Costa Del Sol, he ran! They'd been looking for mercs there, right? He could get a job there, easy as that. But no. Not hiring. With that, he fled further inland, right into the wilds. For a while, he stumbled on his own--Barely able to make due. He refused to speak with any traveler, for fear of being found, but eventually it had come to the point that he was on death's doorstep. A roegadyn by the name of 'Mentor' found him, and helped him back to health, teaching him how to survive properly--At this point, he was far enough into the wilds, that it was amazing there was someone else around.

Mentor was a man who liked to learn. In return for any knowledge he'd gleaned from a traveler, he gave something back--Usually another form of knowledge. Anton had very little to teach Mentor, but even his meager sword-and-board skills were something the big man could learn from. As thanks, the roe took his time teaching Anton how to live in the wilds--What was edible, what wasn't. Where he could find help without going back to civilization, and how to handle the basic predators--A point that he was surprised about, though, was that Anton had yet to run into any of the wildlife, though probably due to him being like unto death at the time.

They parted ways, and Anton made his way to one of these sources of non-civilization help. The man he met was all too happy for a visitor, and though he never gave a name, taught Anton what is now his most valuable skill: How to use an axe.

====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Present</div>====

:A member of the.. Radical Dreamers. Yes. Bunch o' crazy folks. On his return to civilization, he did nothing but wait around at the Quicksand in Ul'dah. Surprisingly, on one such day, he managed to find a friend of his, one [[Tikka Swift]]. In between sprints off into who-knows-where, he managed to get out of her the idea that she was part of a company, and that he should join. So, that's... That's what he does now. Be it jumping off balconies to deliver food, axing questions to who knows how many people, or being pelted with tear gas for no reason other than looking like a bandit, he was a part of this crazy band of misfits.

'''Pyha'to Polaali''' is a miqo'te bounty hunter and mercenary. Beneath his relatively calm and easy-going demeanor lurks a bitter resentment. His loyalty towards his sister is absolute – as the last remaining connection that he has to his past, he is determined to protect her with his life.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Appearance & Personality</div>===
:
Pyha'to is a young man who has seen more than someone his age should have. Though he maintains a normally calm and easy-going demeanor, it isn't hard to tell that his gaze his haunted by memories of his past. Neither tall nor short, he stands as an average example of his species, and his athletic build hints at someone who spends much of his time on the practice field. He walks with precision and confidence, though without any sign of arrogance.

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

Pyha'to and his sister, Sumari, were both born and raised in the secret underground enclave of the Dusk Dancers. The Dusk Dancers was a group of rogues that operated independently of any of the larger thieves guilds based out of the three major Eorzean city-states. Their existence was tolerated due to their altruistic nature – their mission was to help anyone who came to them with problems which were too complicated to be handled by members of any local authorities.

Their mother and father had an open relationship with each other. When Pyha'to and Sumari were just babies, they were introduced to their half-sister, L'anya Kharja, who was the result of their father falling for a Seeker woman who was part of a more traditional Seeker tribe. L'tarra Khoran had to keep her visits to their group a secret, and her daughter was named in a traditional Seeker fashion, as she had to maintain the ruse that the baby's father was L'kharja Nunh, a man with influence within her tribe. Though visits were less than frequent, Pyha'to and Sumari accepted L'anya as their sibling and, as they grew older, the three played together whenever L'tarra brought little L'anya to visit.

The caverns their group inhabited were located within the Shroud. They were an expansive network of tunnels, and were crisscrossed with underground streams and waterfalls. For two young children, these proved irresistible to explore. Pyha'to and Sumari (along with any of the other Dusk Dancer children who wished to tag along, or L'anya if she was currently visiting) had their own series of adventures within those tunnels – they held off hordes of monsters, saved countless princesses (and princes, at Sumari's insistence), their adventure limited only by the scope of their imaginations.

When he was old enough, Pyha'to began learning skills which would be useful to the group. He spent much time in the outdoors with the group's hunters and trackers. He loved the outdoors, loved the wilderness. He learned how to read signs from sets of tracks, how to stalk prey, and how to set up useful traps. Once he was big enough to wield a weapon, he found himself gravitating towards the longspear as his weapon of choice, though he also received training in a number of different weapons, and was also trained in a variety of unarmed fighting techniques.

L'anya often watched him train, though her mother was reluctant to let her join in. Pyha'to argued that she should learn how to defend herself. With L'tarra watching, he showed L'anya the basics. He was only a novice himself, but L'tarra quickly realized how valuable such instruction was. She asked if Pyha'to could convince his father to teach her daughter as well. Hanji'a had been reluctant to provide training, since he didn't want to endanger L'anya if L'kharja Nunh discovered her skills and found out where she had learned them. However, in the end Pyha'to convinced his father that L'anya would only be safer if she knew how to fight, and soon L'anya started practicing with the group's young trainees whenever she came to visit.

In the end, L'kharja Nunh eventually did discover the true origins of his “daughter”. While L'anya mostly appeared to be a Seeker, there were hints at her half-breed heritage. L'kharja had spies watching L'tarra and despite her caution, her meetings with the Dusk Dancers were discovered. L'kharja was out for revenge. For years he had been made to look like a fool. He hired a band of assassins and, accompanying them to the Dusk Dancer enclave, he began murdering any that he believed were implicit in this deception. They swept through the caverns, murdering men and women alike, slaughtering children.

Hanji'a and Pyha were each slain by the vindictive nunh, though not before urging their children to flee. They stole through the caverns, hounded by L'kharja and his assassins. Just before they reached the surface, it became obvious that they were going to be overtaken. Pyha'to urged Sumari and L'anya onwards, then turned to buy them some time.

Sumari turned to stay but, when she saw L'anya do the same, she was left with little choice but to flee with her younger sister. Pyha'to fought bravely and, while he possessed a fierce warrior spirit, he was still just a novice and no match for a band of trained assassins. Still, he was able to occupy them long enough while his sisters slipped away.

During the fight, Pyha'to was knocked off a rickety wooden bridge that spanned a gap in the canyon. He was knocked unconscious and left for dead by the assassins. When he finally awoke, he was being cared for by Sumari. It was then that she told him the sad truth – though she'd done her best to keep L'anya safe, they had gotten separated in the forest. By the time she'd managed to evade her own pursuers and had gone back to search for her sister, she came across L'kharja Nunh. He was bleeding, mortally wounded. When she had confronted him, he held up his bloody weapon and sneered. L'anya was dead. Sumari was about to attack, to end the man's life, when she heard the assassins closing in once again. She had no choice but to turn and flee. At least L'kharja was in no condition to go after her.

Sumari helped Pyha'to out of the chasm. While Pyha'to wanted to go back and bury the bodies, Sumari reasoned that they couldn't return so soon after the attack – it would surely be under some sort of watch. The pair left their home behind and traveled to the nearby city-state of Gridania.

After he had recovered, Pyha'to became obsessed with revenge. He strove constantly to better himself, working on his skills and honing his abilities. To earn enough coin to get by, both he and his sister became bounty hunters – tracking down escaped criminals and wanted targets, and returning them to whomever was funding the contract. This line of work enabled him to create a network of informants, which he has steadily been using to gather information on L'kharja Nunh and his allies.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Developments</div>===
:
: ● Has recently learned through his contacts that his half-sister, L'anya, may still be alive.

: ● Pyha'to and his sister followed the movements of L'kharja's men, and recently discovered them converging on an area in Mist. Pyha'to found L'anya there but, when he confronted her, she fled -- likely assuming that he was working with some form of local law enforcement. He tailed her to the company headquarters of the Light Crusaders, and arrived just in time for L'kharja's men to ambush L'anya. Pyha'to and several of the Light Crusader members rushed to her aid, but were unable to prevent them from abducting her.

: ● The culmination of many months of effort and planning enabled Pye and his allies to track down where L'kharja had taken L'anya. In the time since Pyha'to had known L'kharja, the man had grown in power and influence. He was now a high ranking cultist, working for a primal cult known as the Eyes of Zzahg'ghazz -- a group who intend to summon their insect god, the 'Singing Lord of Shadows' to Eorzea. They were based in a volcano lair about a day's travel by airship off the coast of Limsa Lominsa. Pye and his allies infiltrated the stronghold via a special aetheryte they'd gained access to, while a fleet sent by the Maelstrom engaged the cultists in a frontal assault. They managed to find L'anya, who had been brainwashed and turned into a magitek-augmented assassin, and subdued her. They fought against L'kharja as well, but before they could land the killing blow, he managed to escape.

This contract was also their first significant failure. However, while they failed to capture this elusive target, their target -- unintentionally or not -- led them to stumble across an underground slave trafficking ring that they were subsequently able to put a stop to. The bounty for capturing the criminals worked out to be more than Glow's was worth. As there is no longer a bounty on this individual that has been posted by anyone that he would care to work for, Pyha'to was willing to let her go with no hard feelings. He encountered her again recently, and a series of casual flings gradually grew into more. They are now in a relationship in an official capacity, although both consider it an open ordeal.

To this end, Pye convinced Sumari to use an untested device that she had created, to aid in his capture. The device worked, but arguably too well. It overloaded Valkhiss's central nervous system, rendered him unconscious, but then wiped his long term memories. When he awoke, he had no memory of who he was, and his interrogation yielded nothing that could help them in finding L'anya. Pye doesn't trust Lasher, not as far as he can throw the man. But his sister has convinced him that they need him alive. For the time being, Pye has left his care in Sumari's hands, because he knows that if he gets too close, bad things will happen.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Garnet Rayn]] : Pyha'to met this enigmantic woman from Garlemond while he was battling a cultist near Highbridge. The cultist had gotten advantage over him and was about to knock him into the abyss, when Garnet came to his aid and saved his life. The two spent the night together, and Pye felt an immediate sort of attraction to her -- an attraction that continued even after learning of her true heritage. Garnet wound up pregnant with his child and, while neither of them had any real intention of pursuing a romantic relationship with one another, they have remained friends.

'''Tikka Swift''', sometimes known as "Tabitha Emberfury", sometimes known as "Princess", sometimes known as "Hey, you, stop burning things!" is a miqo'te thief and street rat who has no current permanent place of residence. During the day, she can often be found on the streets of Ul'dah, performing elaborate feats of stage magic and acrobatics in order to draw crowds of marks to make for easy pickpocketing. At night, she plies her trade across the rooftops of the city, testing her lockpicking, safecracking, and trapfinding skills out in the homes of various unsuspecting noblemen. It has recently been discovered that her birth name is L'anya Kharja. Given that she's also learned that L'Kharja Nunh is not only NOT her real father, but he's the one who murdered her family, Tikka has decided that her *real* birth name is L'anya Polaali.

:

Tikka is an acrobat and it shows through her build. While not overly strong, she is extremely agile and dextrous. She has a small frame and is very light, but uses that to her advantage, both to throw people off guard and to throw herself around. Her hair is a mix of red and white, though the white highlights are a natural coloration rather than a dye job. Her eyes are perhaps her most striking feature, a vivid green that often shimmer with energy and youthful exuberance. Although the young thief appears to be a Seeker, a clue to her hybrid heritage is in her slightly elongated canines -- which are far more pronounced than a Seeker's should be.

A hedonist at heart, Tikka lives a wild and crazy lifestyle. She acts on impulse, and does what she feels like doing at any given time, without any heed to potential consequences. She enjoys being random, a trait that often convinces people that she's actually at least partially insane. Plus she is generally high on sugar cubes, and that contributes significantly to her hyperactivity.

Tikka's mother was part of the Viper ( L ) tribe, and was one consort of many for one of the tribe's nunh's. She got pregnant by a Keeper rogue that she had fallen in love with. Since things would be bad if anyone ever found out the truth, she did her best to trick the nunh into thinking that the baby was his. Fortunately, Tikka was born with mostly Seeker features, save for her elongated canines and heightened sense of nightvision. She continued her relationship with the Keeper, and often brought Tikka to meet her real father in secret.

When she was old enough, her father started teaching her rogue skills, and she hung out with him and his group. It was because of this continued interaction that the nunh of her tribe eventually found out about the truth. He tried to have Tikka and her mother killed, but Tikka's father and his band of rogues swooped in to pull them out of danger. However, the insult would not stand, and the nunh gathered up men of his own. They pursued the band and, during the battle, Tikka's parents (along with most of the rogues) were killed.

But before they died, they urged Tikka to escape. The young rogue ran for her life, but the nunh soon caught up to her. They fought, and he beat her to within an inch of her life. But before he could land the final blow, she struck him with a knife just below the heart. His own blow proved a glancing one, but it bounced her head off a rock and Tikka went unconscious. Leaving her dying, the nunh retreated to seek medical aid -- he couldn't tell anyone the truth of what had happened, for fear of what would happen to his status if it became known that he was nearly killed by not only a female, but a female child.

Soon afterwards, Tikka was discovered by a traveling band of mercenaries -- Louis, Reis, and Shin. The trio of adventurers took her in and nursed her back to health. But after she had recovered, Tikka recalled nothing of her former life. The adventurers invited her to join them. Since she couldn't remember her name, they helped her think of one. Louis started to train her to defend herself, but when he did so, he soon discovered that she had several innate talents related to thievery. He called her 'Swift', because she was innately fast on her feet and quick fingered. Her role within the group determined, she set off with the trio in search of adventure.

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

: ● Had her heart broken in a relationship with Sparrow. Until she met him, Tikka had never loved anyone before, at least not as far as she could remember. She'd been with a lot of guys, and had certainly felt attraction. But she'd never even considered becoming exclusive with someone. That's why it was so much harder for her when it turned out that he was in love with someone else. This relationship has had a huge impact on Tikka. She has withdrawn, choosing to distance herself even further from people emotionally. She has also found comfort in the bottle, deciding that being drunk all the time keeps her mind from wandering back to the comfort she'd found in his arms.

: ● During a beach party, Tikka was refusing to go into the water to join the rest of her friends due to her fear of sharks. Instead, she stubbornly camped out on the beach and built herself a sand castle. After awhile the others managed to coax her out to join them. For unknown reasons, the sand castle animated and became a sort of miniature sand golem. From that moment, it started following her around like it was somehow connected to her. She cannot currently figure out a way to rid herself of this construct. She has tried smashing it, slicing it into pieces, dropping it from high altitude, burning it, and having mages throw magic at it. It has thus far managed to reconstruct itself each time. She has since named it 'Sandcastle' and treats it like an annoying pet. Her theory is that someone who doesn't like her placed some sort of a curse on her. Currently, in order to give herself a few moments of freedom from it, she has taken to bursting it apart into tiny pieces, putting the pieces into separate containers, filling them with water, and sealing them. Each time, Sandcastle has somehow managed to escape, reform, and locate her again. How long this process takes seems to vary from a few hours to a few days.

: ● Tikka has recently been hired to help rig some fights run by her friends Yorric, Ari, and Gen. They figured that with her charisma and her enthusiasm she would have no trouble whipping up crowds into a frenzy, causing them to bet on their fighters, who would then throw the match. It's become a profitable arrangement for all parties involved. Plus Tikka has gotten lots of pretty gems and sugar cubes out of the deal.

: ● She kept a secret stash of her belongings and stolen goods at her room at the Quicksand. Recently, her room exploded and a group of unknown assailants attacked her and Yorric. There were no survivors amongst the assailants, and there were no identifying marks that might indicate their origin. The explosion was confined mostly to her room, with just a bit of damage to surrounding rooms. The wall in which her window was placed was pretty much blown wide open. Until she's able to secure a new base of operations, Tikka's current status is mobile, and she's relying on her set of emergency caches scattered throughout the major cities. Update: Her friend Cookie (Vanilla Wayfarer) offered to share her room with Tikka, thus solving her housing situation.

: ● Tikka, Glow, Gen, Yorric, and Ari perpetrated an intricately planned heist and stole millions of gil worth of artwork from an art auction in Ul'dah. They are currently sitting on this now hidden stash, preparing to sell it later.

: ● Armed assailants working for L'kharja Nunh tracked Tikka down to the headquarters of the Light Crusaders. They managed to render her unconscious and, despite the valiant efforts of her friends and company members, she was abducted and taken away to an unknown location. Tikka's half-brother, Pyha'to, and half-sister, Sumari, had been tracking L'kharja's men and wound up locating her just before she was kidnapped -- Tikka hadn't recognized either of them, and had fled from Pyha'to when he confronted her. Tikka's real name was revealed to be L'anya Kharja.

: ● Tikka spent many months in captivity. She was held by a group of cultists known as the Eyes of Zzahg'ghazz. They were a primal cult, based in a volcano lair about a day and a half's travel by airship from the shores of Limsa Lominsa. They were gathering crystals, intending to summon their insect god, the "Singing Lord of Shadows". Tikka was indoctrinated through the use of a special serum. She was given various magitek augments, and turned into a brainwashed assassin for the cult. She had her baby while in captivity, and L'kharja cruelly named it 'L'tarra', after Tikka's mother. He fully intended to raise L'tarra to worship Zzahg'ghazz as well. But thanks to the timely intervention of Tikka's friends and allies, and her brother and sister, Tikka was rescued from the cult and given an antidote to the indoctrination serum that had claimed her. While she had no memory of her time spent with the cultists, she catches glimpses in nightmares. Her baby was rescued from the clutches of the cultists as well. When she was introduced to her child by the father, Gen, Tikka dropped the L from the baby's name, and decided to call her Tarra Swiftpaw.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Ninja Lou]] : One of the members of the adventuring band who first discovered her and nursed her back to health. Louis has been a brother figure and a friend to her, and has helped her regain her fighting skills. Although she respects him and loves him like she would a real brother, she often enjoys helping herself to his coin purse, and challenging herself to see what else she can take without him noticing.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Shin Lightbringer]] : Another of the adventuring trio who saved her. Shin was a good friend to Tikka, until a night of indiscretion turned things awkward. Shin mistook their night of fun for something more, and was ashamed of himself. He disappeared, and she hasn't seen him since. Although she worries about him, she also feels that he overreacted.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Reis Ravenhart]] : Louis's wife, Reis has been a big sister figure to Tikka. While she tends to poke fun at Louis and generally makes him the butt of her jokes, Reis is the one that she respects the most. Lately Tikka has been training with a variety of different weapons under her tutelage, in order to enhance her versatility.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Glow N'amownoc]] : Although Tikka doesn't know Glow's true name, referring to her only by the nickname "Blueberry", she has become fast friends with the Keeper from the day they first met. Blueberry is another thief, and an often partner in crime. Tikka likes her a great deal, and often responds to the alias "Princess" that Blueberry has given her.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Vanilla Wayfarer]] : Vanilla aka "Cookie" is currently one of the few people who knows the real person behind the mask. She has become a person that Tikka can confide in, and Tikka views the Seeker as a close friend.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Haru Hattori]] : For a brief time, Tikka was head of security in the KHFNNDB (Keep Haru From Not Not Dying Brigade). Although she knows little about the lalafell, she knows that Haru is a member of the guard and isn't one in whom to confide her more illicit activities. Nevertheless, Haru has a great sense of humor, and Tikka has had plenty of fun playing around with her in the Quicksand.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Rhoe'a Lihzeh]] : While not truly an item, Tikka has spent more than one night with this dark skinned Keeper. She considers him a friend, and sometimes more than that, though she doubts it could ever develop into anything serious.

: <font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">♥</font> [[Gen Quickpaw]] : Gen is her friend, and usually nothing more than that. However, when the alcohol starts flowing and things start getting a bit crazy, she has wound up in his bed at least once. She admires the Seeker for his quick wit and humor, and is still determined to beat him in a rooftop race. She has grown significantly closer to him, and views him with a definite sort of affection. This has left her feeling conflicted, since she knows that he is in love with another.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Aurus Faith]] : This innocent young Keeper is another friend of Tikka's that went from platonic to "friends with benefits". Her room at the inn was a mess, and so when she found out that Aurus was a general laborer, she enlisted his services as what amounted to basically her live-in maid. She pays him a fair wage, calls him her "Swabbie", and lets him stay in her room -- which she hardly ever occupies. Though the times when she *is* around, she has nothing against sharing her bed.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Rashaka Larola]] : This older lalafell quickly became a father figure of sorts to Tikka. He was the first that she confided in about her dual identity, and she holds a certain affection for him.

: <font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">♥</font> [[Lynn'wo Vahnal]] : Lynn'wo "Sparrow" Vahnal was the first man that Tikka had ever truly loved. The pair had hit it off immediately. They were an impressive comedy duo, and partners in crime. They often talked about investing in a ship together to sail the world, one that they would name 'Ted'. She took off her mask for him, let him see her real self both physically and emotionally. He reciprocated by tearing out her heart and leaving her for another woman, leaving Tikka crestfallen and defeated. When her mask went back on, she vowed that she would never leave herself that vulnerable again. While she is still upset over the whole issue, she has decided that if Sparrow sends her rogue related work, she'd be more than happy to accept it. After all, emotion has no place in business. Although she still has feelings for him, she does her best to remain emotionally distant when he is around.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">●</font> [[Misha Jinhri]] : The woman that Sparrow left her for, Misha tried apologizing to Tikka for the whole fiasco. Tikka viewed the apology as a veiled attempt to gloat over her victory and, despite the woman's offer of friendship, decided she wanted to have nothing further to do with her. She blames her for Sparrow leaving her more than she blames Sparrow himself, perhaps blinded by the feelings she had for him. Recently however, her anger towards Misha seems to have subsided, as she's proven capable of interaction with her in public settings.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Yorric Lesh]] : Tikka's latest business associate. She doesn't know much about this man other than he seems to know how to run a good scam. She has recently agreed to help him with a shady arrangement, and he won serious points with her when he provided advance payment in the form of sparkly gems and sugar cubes. And as everyone knows, TikkaPoints(tm) are one of the most valuable commodities in all of Eorzea.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Reza'li Kaahn]] : She hooked up with this Keeper for what she'd intended to be a one night stand. However, her interest was piqued when he not only drew sketches of her, but he had a proclivity towards burning things. And Tikka likes fire.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">●</font> [[Flynt Knoltros]] : Tikka met this miqo'te only a couple of occasions, but he was fun enough to converse with. On their first meeting, she'd convinced him to leave the Quicksands with her. He believed he was being led into an ambush, so he secretly contacted a friend of his to shadow their progress. When Tikka found out that he thought she was setting him up to rob him, she was both amused and disappointed -- she was sure she projected a less shadier image than that.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Arianne Soren]] : Tikka has grown a lot more fond of Ari in a short amount of time. While she still doesn't know a whole lot about her, she enjoys Ari's attitude, the way she's nicknamed Tikka "Squirrel", and she feels a genuine sort of affection for the woman. She views her as someone that she can confide in.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[C'sanhsa Tia]] : She met this miqo'te in one of the rare times when she had her mask off in the Quicksand. Fresh from her breakup with Sparrow, and needing an excuse to abandon a really bad conversation with a rude hyur, she went up and butted into C'sanhsa's conversation with Jihan Rowe. Neither minded, and they helped to console her. Then her miniature sand golem appeared and started stomping around, and captured the group's interest.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Jihan Rowe]] : This miqo'te was with C'sanhsa when Tikka came up and butted into their conversation. He took particular interest in Sandcastle, and attempted to posit some theories as to how such a thing could have come to be. Tikka still remains convinced that the golem comes as part of an elaborate curse placed upon her by the bugs. She IS getting too close, after all.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">●</font> [[Star Flicker]] : Flick is Gen's girlfriend, and Tikka respects that. She hasn't spent much time getting to know her, but from the few times that they've interacted she's liked her. Lately she's overheard her saying some very unflattering things about her, but can't entirely blame her. After all, she was sleeping with her boyfriend for awhile, under the impression that they had an open relationship. Although recently, the fact that Flick literally tried to murder her with a sword has soured Tikka's opinion towards her somewhat.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Erik Ketch]] : Tikka only recently met this hyur, but he has a habit of surprising her with delectable pastries. He would have remained just another face around the company house to her, but he scored big points when he stuck up for her when a Gridanian investigator appeared and started listing charges against her. Since she had nowhere to stay since her room at the Quicksand exploded, he graciously set up a cot for her in his room in the free company house, and gave her full access to his quarters.

:
Garnet is a small, tan hyur woman with light blue hair that's been faded by the sun and deep green eyes. She's a bit curvy despite her height. Unknown to most, under her bangs she hides a Garlean 3rd eye which she inherited from her father.

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

====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Childhood</div>====

:
Garnet was just a baby when her and her father were killed in a conflict between Garlean forces and local rebels. Her mother, a conjurer, had previously in her life raised 2 other people, her brother and her love (Garnet's father). Unable to live with the loss, she gave her life to give Garnet back hers. Just under a year old, Garnet was taken in by her maternal uncle, Obsidian. Obby, as Garnet affectionately called him, was the captain of an air ship. Just a shipping vessel, they spent most of their time safely out of the local conflicts and in the sky. Garnet was raised by her uncle and his crew. They were all very protective of her; it was like living with an army of fathers. They always told her to stay away from men, taught her to fight and protect herself while making sure she had useful skills. She found as a young child that she enjoyed the warmth of the engine room and so she spent most of her time there. She learned out to maintain, upgrade and rework an airship and it's parts. Not only was it a great talent for her but it would come to save her in the future.

====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Teenage</div>====

:
When Garnet was 14 her uncle got his hands on a magitek bit. He wasn't sure what to do with it but it was still operational and dangerous so he dismantled it as best he could and let it sit. Unbeknownst to Obsidian, Garnet began to sneak into his work area and toy with the bit. After only a few months, Garnet had reassembled the bit into a working state but she had de-weaponized it. She had it so that the bit would follow her around. Her uncle, so impressed, let her keep it and encouraged her to play with and learn more about magitek. She could tell that her was scared by it all a little but she didn't know why until the night her uncle sent her away. Word had spread of her ingenuity and skill with re-purposing magitek and she had become a target, not just by Garlean forces but by rebels as well. To protect her from it all, Obsidian sent Garnet away to Eorzea. In a land of adventurers and refugees, he figured she could take care of herself enough to blend in. He told her before she left about her parents. It was the first time he'd ever talked about them. Obsidian told her that her father was a magitek engineer and her mother a conjurer. The two had met, fallen in love and died in conflict. He worried her talent would draw her to conflict as well and so, before she left, he had her promise to put her safety first. She promised him. Not long after Garnet left, Obsidian's ship was shot out of the sky by Garlean forces. There were no survives.

====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Adult</div>====

:

====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Present</div>====
:
Still rather new to Eorzea, Garnet has been learning about lots of new things and meeting all kinds of people. Though she's very shy, Garnet feels like there's a bright future for herself here.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Appearance & Personality</div>===
:
Sumari is a bright young woman with a positive outlook on life despite what she has experienced in the past. Her silver hair is kept in dreads, and her blue eyes shine with an inner light of intelligence. She is petite in build and, while not out of shape by any means, she has the physical build of someone who lets magic (or her brother) handle most of the heavy lifting. She loves intelligent conversation, but has no patience for boring people. She has a wild imagination, and often gets lost in her own stories and fabrications.

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

Sumari and her brother, Pyha'to, were both born and raised in the secret underground enclave of the Dusk Dancers. The Dusk Dancers was a group of rogues that operated independently of any of the larger thieves guilds based out of the three major Eorzean city-states. Their existence was tolerated due to their altruistic nature – their mission was to help anyone who came to them with problems which were too complicated to be handled by members of any local authorities.

Their mother and father had an open relationship with each other. When Sumari and Pyha'to were just babies, they were introduced to their half-sister, L'anya Kharja, who was the result of their father falling for a Seeker woman who was part of a more traditional Seeker tribe. L'tarra Khoran had to keep her visits to their group a secret, and her daughter was named in a traditional Seeker fashion, as she had to maintain the ruse that the baby's father was L'kharja Nunh, a man with influence within her tribe. Though visits were less than frequent, Sumari and Pyha'to accepted L'anya as their sibling and, as they grew older, the three played together whenever L'tarra brought little L'anya to visit.

Magical talent was seemingly absent in their family's bloodline on both sides of the family. Pyha'to and L'anya likewise showed no sign of mystical affinity, and everyone was certain that all three children would continue the family legacy. However, Sumari manifested her gifts at an early age, much to the surprise of everyone. Not only did she have a magical gift, but she had quite a strong innate talent. She was always accidentally setting something on fire, much to the delight of her half-sister, L'anya.

While her brother honed his martial skills on the practice fields, Sumari was instead inducted into the small cloister of mages that the Dusk Dancers kept in their enclave. She soon learned to direct and shape her magical energies, and discovered that she had a special affinity for destruction. Sumari also discovered that she enjoyed learning how things worked. In her spare time she often worked with the Dusk Dancer Engineering Corps, and helped to take things apart and put them back together again.

But her happy life within the enclave was soon to change. L'kharja Nunh soon discovered that L'tarra had been deceiving him about L'anya's origins. When he learned about the Dusk Dancers, and that L'anya's true father was one of their lieutenants, he couldn't let the insult stand. Accompanied by a group of assassins, he swept through the enclave, bringing murder and destruction in his wake.
Hanji'a and Pyha fought to keep their children safe, but they were each slain by L'kharja. Sumari and Pyha'to managed to escape, with L'anya in tow, but with the assassins right on their heels. As they neared the surface and it was clear that they were about to be overtaken, Pyha'to turned and stood fast, ready to buy Sumari and L'anya time to escape. Sumari refused to abandon her twin at first, but when she saw that L'anya wouldn't flee without her, she was left with no choice but to leave.

They fled into the forest, but Pyha'to's sacrifice hadn't given them much breathing room. They could hear the assassins closing in. The ground gave way beneath L'anya's feet and she tumbled down a steep embankment. Sumari couldn't catch her in time, and knew that if she went after her, they would both be overtaken. She stopped long enough to spot the assassins, sent a torrent of flame towards them, then took off in another direction in the hopes of leading them away from her half-sister.

The gambit worked and the assassins followed her through the forest. After an extended game of cat and mouse, she finally managed to evade her pursuers. She returned to search for L'anya but, as she closed in on where she'd last spotted her, she came across the mortally wounded form of L'kharja Nunh making his way through the forest. She confronted him, and he presented her with his bloody weapon, told her that he'd just killed her sister. Rage built up inside her and she was about to incinerate the vindictive nunh, when she heard his men approaching. Left with little choice, she fled back into the forest.
After some time had passed, she stealthily returned to the caves to search for survivors. Her parents were dead, as was everyone she had ever known. Sumari was about to give in to despair when, as she crossed a bridge leading towards the cavern's exit, she heard the muffled sounds of labored breathing coming from below. Sumari climbed down into the chasm beneath the bridge, and she discovered that Pyha'to was severely wounded, but still alive.

She managed to rig up a harness and help Pyha'to out of the chasm. He suggested that they return to bury the bodies, but Sumari reasoned that L'kharja likely had men stationed to watch the enclave, and there was no way that they could remove that many bodies without drawing attention to themselves. They fled to the city-state of Gridania, and she looked after her twin while he recovered from his wounds.
Once he was well again, they decided they needed a plan. They had very little coin to their name, which meant they needed to figure out a way to earn more. Sumari spotted a notice on a nearby board which listed escaped criminals in the area. With her brother's tracking skills and martial prowess and her own mystical talent, she reasoned that it would be an easy thing to track some of them down.
They became bounty hunters, a career which wound up making them some useful contacts. Although their past was behind them, Sumari and Pyha'to vowed to find L'kharja Nunh and bring him to justice – one way or the other.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Pyha'to Polaali]] : Sumari's twin brother. She shares a deep connection with him, and he is entirely too protective of her. As her last living family member (that she is aware of), the feeling is definitely mutual.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Tikka Swift]] : Known to her as L'anya, Sumari and her brother have recently discovered that she is alive. However, before they were able to reunite with their half-sister, L'anya was abducted by L'kharja Nunh's men. Sumari and her brother are now working alongside L'anya's various friends to try and get her back.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Vanilla Wayfarer]] : Sumari met Vanilla shortly after L'anya's abduction. L'anya was one of Vanilla's best friends and the abduction hit her particularly hard, and she told Sumari that she felt weak and helpless. Sumari could identify with Vanilla's feelings, as she had gone through the same thing when she believed that L'kharja Nunh murdered her sister. She now feels a certain sense of responsibility towards the girl.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Arianne Soren]] : While looking for L'anya, Sumari showed Arianne a picture of her while at the Quicksand in Ul'dah. Arianne knew L'anya as Tikka Swift, but she feigned ignorance as she didn't know who Sumari was, and assumed that if someone was looking for Tikka, it was bad. Sumari has since learned that Arianne is a member of the Light Crusaders. She doesn't blame Arianne for her deception, but she does believe that if the woman had been more up front with her from the start, there is a chance that it may have prevented L'anya's kidnapping.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">●</font> [[Glow N'amownoc]] : The subject of one of the first bounty contracts that she and her brother accepted. This contract was also their first significant failure. However, while they failed to capture this elusive target, their target -- unintentionally or not -- led them to stumble across an underground slave trafficking ring that they were subsequently able to put a stop to. The bounty for capturing the criminals worked out to be more than Glow's was worth. As there is no longer a bounty on this individual that has been posted by anyone that she would care to work for, Sumari's feelings towards her are neutral.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Gen Quickpaw]] : Sumari met Gen once or twice after her sister's abduction, but she didn't really get to know him after she worked with him while investigating certain aspects of her sister's abduction. After a night of heavy drinking and a night of equally heavy passion, she's discovered that she gets along fairly well the with rogue.

: <font style="color:#F02311;" size="3">♥</font> [[Valkhiss Lasher]] : He was the mage responsible for creating the portal that enabled L'kharja Nunh's men to abduct her sister, L'anya. Sumari and Pyha'to tracked him down with the help of one of Valkhiss's angry ex girlfriends. They sought to capture him and needed to take their quarry down quickly due to the elusive nature of their prey. As such, Pye convinced Sumari to take an untested gadget into the field. The device worked, but it worked too well. It overloaded Lasher's nervous system and wiped his long term memory. When he came to, he was a different person. Although she didn't trust him at first, her time spent guarding him as caused Sumari to realize that the man Valkhiss is now is not the one that he once was. Her trust eventually grew into something more, and she now considers him someone that she cares for deeply. He has since used his magic to help Sumari and her allies rescue L'anya from the clutches of the cultists that abducted her.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Appearance & Personality</div>===
:
Pyha'to is a young man who has seen more than someone his age should have. Though he maintains a normally calm and easy-going demeanor, it isn't hard to tell that his gaze his haunted by memories of his past. Neither tall nor short, he stands as an average example of his species, and his athletic build hints at someone who spends much of his time on the practice field. He walks with precision and confidence, though without any sign of arrogance.

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

Pyha'to and his sister, Sumari, were both born and raised in the secret underground enclave of the Dusk Dancers. The Dusk Dancers was a group of rogues that operated independently of any of the larger thieves guilds based out of the three major Eorzean city-states. Their existence was tolerated due to their altruistic nature – their mission was to help anyone who came to them with problems which were too complicated to be handled by members of any local authorities.

Their mother and father had an open relationship with each other. When Pyha'to and Sumari were just babies, they were introduced to their half-sister, L'anya Kharja, who was the result of their father falling for a Seeker woman who was part of a more traditional Seeker tribe. L'tarra Khoran had to keep her visits to their group a secret, and her daughter was named in a traditional Seeker fashion, as she had to maintain the ruse that the baby's father was L'kharja Nunh, a man with influence within her tribe. Though visits were less than frequent, Pyha'to and Sumari accepted L'anya as their sibling and, as they grew older, the three played together whenever L'tarra brought little L'anya to visit.

The caverns their group inhabited were located within the Shroud. They were an expansive network of tunnels, and were crisscrossed with underground streams and waterfalls. For two young children, these proved irresistible to explore. Pyha'to and Sumari (along with any of the other Dusk Dancer children who wished to tag along, or L'anya if she was currently visiting) had their own series of adventures within those tunnels – they held off hordes of monsters, saved countless princesses (and princes, at Sumari's insistence), their adventure limited only by the scope of their imaginations.

When he was old enough, Pyha'to began learning skills which would be useful to the group. He spent much time in the outdoors with the group's hunters and trackers. He loved the outdoors, loved the wilderness. He learned how to read signs from sets of tracks, how to stalk prey, and how to set up useful traps. Once he was big enough to wield a weapon, he found himself gravitating towards the longspear as his weapon of choice, though he also received training in a number of different weapons, and was also trained in a variety of unarmed fighting techniques.

L'anya often watched him train, though her mother was reluctant to let her join in. Pyha'to argued that she should learn how to defend herself. With L'tarra watching, he showed L'anya the basics. He was only a novice himself, but L'tarra quickly realized how valuable such instruction was. She asked if Pyha'to could convince his father to teach her daughter as well. Hanji'a had been reluctant to provide training, since he didn't want to endanger L'anya if L'kharja Nunh discovered her skills and found out where she had learned them. However, in the end Pyha'to convinced his father that L'anya would only be safer if she knew how to fight, and soon L'anya started practicing with the group's young trainees whenever she came to visit.

In the end, L'kharja Nunh eventually did discover the true origins of his “daughter”. While L'anya mostly appeared to be a Seeker, there were hints at her half-breed heritage. L'kharja had spies watching L'tarra and despite her caution, her meetings with the Dusk Dancers were discovered. L'kharja was out for revenge. For years he had been made to look like a fool. He hired a band of assassins and, accompanying them to the Dusk Dancer enclave, he began murdering any that he believed were implicit in this deception. They swept through the caverns, murdering men and women alike, slaughtering children.

Hanji'a and Pyha were each slain by the vindictive nunh, though not before urging their children to flee. They stole through the caverns, hounded by L'kharja and his assassins. Just before they reached the surface, it became obvious that they were going to be overtaken. Pyha'to urged Sumari and L'anya onwards, then turned to buy them some time.

Sumari turned to stay but, when she saw L'anya do the same, she was left with little choice but to flee with her younger sister. Pyha'to fought bravely and, while he possessed a fierce warrior spirit, he was still just a novice and no match for a band of trained assassins. Still, he was able to occupy them long enough while his sisters slipped away.

During the fight, Pyha'to was knocked off a rickety wooden bridge that spanned a gap in the canyon. He was knocked unconscious and left for dead by the assassins. When he finally awoke, he was being cared for by Sumari. It was then that she told him the sad truth – though she'd done her best to keep L'anya safe, they had gotten separated in the forest. By the time she'd managed to evade her own pursuers and had gone back to search for her sister, she came across L'kharja Nunh. He was bleeding, mortally wounded. When she had confronted him, he held up his bloody weapon and sneered. L'anya was dead. Sumari was about to attack, to end the man's life, when she heard the assassins closing in once again. She had no choice but to turn and flee. At least L'kharja was in no condition to go after her.

Sumari helped Pyha'to out of the chasm. While Pyha'to wanted to go back and bury the bodies, Sumari reasoned that they couldn't return so soon after the attack – it would surely be under some sort of watch. The pair left their home behind and traveled to the nearby city-state of Gridania.

After he had recovered, Pyha'to became obsessed with revenge. He strove constantly to better himself, working on his skills and honing his abilities. To earn enough coin to get by, both he and his sister became bounty hunters – tracking down escaped criminals and wanted targets, and returning them to whomever was funding the contract. This line of work enabled him to create a network of informants, which he has steadily been using to gather information on L'kharja Nunh and his allies.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Developments</div>===
:
: ● Has recently learned through his contacts that his half-sister, L'anya, may still be alive.

: ● Pyha'to and his sister followed the movements of L'kharja's men, and recently discovered them converging on an area in Mist. Pyha'to found L'anya there but, when he confronted her, she fled -- likely assuming that he was working with some form of local law enforcement. He tailed her to the company headquarters of the Light Crusaders, and arrived just in time for L'kharja's men to ambush L'anya. Pyha'to and several of the Light Crusader members rushed to her aid, but were unable to prevent them from abducting her.

: ● The culmination of many months of effort and planning enabled Pye and his allies to track down where L'kharja had taken L'anya. In the time since Pyha'to had known L'kharja, the man had grown in power and influence. He was now a high ranking cultist, working for a primal cult known as the Eyes of Zzahg'ghazz -- a group who intend to summon their insect god, the 'Singing Lord of Shadows' to Eorzea. They were based in a volcano lair about a day's travel by airship off the coast of Limsa Lominsa. Pye and his allies infiltrated the stronghold via a special aetheryte they'd gained access to, while a fleet sent by the Maelstrom engaged the cultists in a frontal assault. They managed to find L'anya, who had been brainwashed and turned into a magitek-augmented assassin, and subdued her. They fought against L'kharja as well, but before they could land the killing blow, he managed to escape.

She supplies the ranger with the gadgets and traps that he brings out into the field. He would do anything to protect her, up to and including dying for her.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Tikka Swift]] : While he knows her as L'anya Kharja and believes her to be dead, she is very much alive. He has heard rumors of someone matching her description, yet has thus far discovered no evidence to back up those sightings.

: <font style="color:#F02311;" size="3">♥</font> [[Glow N'amownoc]] : The subject of one of the first bounty contracts that he and his sister accepted. This contract was also their first significant failure. However, while they failed to capture this elusive target, their target -- unintentionally or not -- led them to stumble across an underground slave trafficking ring that they were subsequently able to put a stop to. The bounty for capturing the criminals worked out to be more than Glow's was worth. As there is no longer a bounty on this individual that has been posted by anyone that he would care to work for, Pyha'to was willing to let her go with no hard feelings. He encountered her again recently, and a series of casual flings gradually grew into more. They are now in a relationship in an official capacity, although both consider it an open ordeal.

With the aid of one of Valkhiss's angry ex girlfriends, Pye and Sumari were able to track Valkhiss down. Due to the elusive nature of their prey, they needed to disable him quickly. To this end, Pye convinced Sumari to use an untested device that she had created, to aid in his capture. The device worked, but arguably too well. It overloaded Valkhiss's central nervous system, rendered him unconscious, but then wiped his long term memories. When he awoke, he had no memory of who he was, and his interrogation yielded nothing that could help them in finding L'anya. Pye doesn't trust Lasher, not as far as he can throw the man. But his sister has convinced him that they need him alive. For the time being, Pye has left his care in Sumari's hands, because he knows that if he gets too close, bad things will happen.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Garnet Rayn]] : Pyha'to met this enigmantic woman from Garlemond while he was battling a cultist near Highbridge. The cultist had gotten advantage over him and was about to knock him into the abyss, when Garnet came to his aid and saved his life. The two spent the night together, and Pye felt an immediate sort of attraction to her -- an attraction that continued even after learning of her true heritage.

'''Tikka Swift''', sometimes known as "Tabitha Emberfury", sometimes known as "Princess", sometimes known as "Hey, you, stop burning things!" is a miqo'te thief and street rat who has no current permanent place of residence. During the day, she can often be found on the streets of Ul'dah, performing elaborate feats of stage magic and acrobatics in order to draw crowds of marks to make for easy pickpocketing. At night, she plies her trade across the rooftops of the city, testing her lockpicking, safecracking, and trapfinding skills out in the homes of various unsuspecting noblemen. It has recently been discovered that her birth name is L'anya Kharja.

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

Tikka is an acrobat and it shows through her build. While not overly strong, she is extremely agile and dextrous. She has a small frame and is very light, but uses that to her advantage, both to throw people off guard and to throw herself around. Her hair is a mix of red and white, though the white highlights are a natural coloration rather than a dye job. Her eyes are perhaps her most striking feature, a vivid green that often shimmer with energy and youthful exuberance. Although the young thief appears to be a Seeker, a clue to her hybrid heritage is in her slightly elongated canines -- which are far more pronounced than a Seeker's should be.

A hedonist at heart, Tikka lives a wild and crazy lifestyle. She acts on impulse, and does what she feels like doing at any given time, without any heed to potential consequences. She enjoys being random, a trait that often convinces people that she's actually at least partially insane. Plus she is generally high on sugar cubes, and that contributes significantly to her hyperactivity.

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

Tikka's mother was part of the Viper ( L ) tribe, and was one consort of many for one of the tribe's nunh's. She got pregnant by a Keeper rogue that she had fallen in love with. Since things would be bad if anyone ever found out the truth, she did her best to trick the nunh into thinking that the baby was his. Fortunately, Tikka was born with mostly Seeker features, save for her elongated canines and heightened sense of nightvision. She continued her relationship with the Keeper, and often brought Tikka to meet her real father in secret.

When she was old enough, her father started teaching her rogue skills, and she hung out with him and his group. It was because of this continued interaction that the nunh of her tribe eventually found out about the truth. He tried to have Tikka and her mother killed, but Tikka's father and his band of rogues swooped in to pull them out of danger. However, the insult would not stand, and the nunh gathered up men of his own. They pursued the band and, during the battle, Tikka's parents (along with most of the rogues) were killed.

But before they died, they urged Tikka to escape. The young rogue ran for her life, but the nunh soon caught up to her. They fought, and he beat her to within an inch of her life. But before he could land the final blow, she struck him with a knife just below the heart. His own blow proved a glancing one, but it bounced her head off a rock and Tikka went unconscious. Leaving her dying, the nunh retreated to seek medical aid -- he couldn't tell anyone the truth of what had happened, for fear of what would happen to his status if it became known that he was nearly killed by not only a female, but a female child.

Soon afterwards, Tikka was discovered by a traveling band of mercenaries -- Louis, Reis, and Shin. The trio of adventurers took her in and nursed her back to health. But after she had recovered, Tikka recalled nothing of her former life. The adventurers invited her to join them. Since she couldn't remember her name, they helped her think of one. Louis started to train her to defend herself, but when he did so, he soon discovered that she had several innate talents related to thievery. He called her 'Swift', because she was innately fast on her feet and quick fingered. Her role within the group determined, she set off with the trio in search of adventure.

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

: ● Had her heart broken in a relationship with Sparrow. Until she met him, Tikka had never loved anyone before, at least not as far as she could remember. She'd been with a lot of guys, and had certainly felt attraction. But she'd never even considered becoming exclusive with someone. That's why it was so much harder for her when it turned out that he was in love with someone else. This relationship has had a huge impact on Tikka. She has withdrawn, choosing to distance herself even further from people emotionally. She has also found comfort in the bottle, deciding that being drunk all the time keeps her mind from wandering back to the comfort she'd found in his arms.

: ● During a beach party, Tikka was refusing to go into the water to join the rest of her friends due to her fear of sharks. Instead, she stubbornly camped out on the beach and built herself a sand castle. After awhile the others managed to coax her out to join them. For unknown reasons, the sand castle animated and became a sort of miniature sand golem. From that moment, it started following her around like it was somehow connected to her. She cannot currently figure out a way to rid herself of this construct. She has tried smashing it, slicing it into pieces, dropping it from high altitude, burning it, and having mages throw magic at it. It has thus far managed to reconstruct itself each time. She has since named it 'Sandcastle' and treats it like an annoying pet. Her theory is that someone who doesn't like her placed some sort of a curse on her. Currently, in order to give herself a few moments of freedom from it, she has taken to bursting it apart into tiny pieces, putting the pieces into separate containers, filling them with water, and sealing them. Each time, Sandcastle has somehow managed to escape, reform, and locate her again. How long this process takes seems to vary from a few hours to a few days.

: ● Tikka has recently been hired to help rig some fights run by her friends Yorric, Ari, and Gen. They figured that with her charisma and her enthusiasm she would have no trouble whipping up crowds into a frenzy, causing them to bet on their fighters, who would then throw the match. It's become a profitable arrangement for all parties involved. Plus Tikka has gotten lots of pretty gems and sugar cubes out of the deal.

: ● She kept a secret stash of her belongings and stolen goods at her room at the Quicksand. Recently, her room exploded and a group of unknown assailants attacked her and Yorric. There were no survivors amongst the assailants, and there were no identifying marks that might indicate their origin. The explosion was confined mostly to her room, with just a bit of damage to surrounding rooms. The wall in which her window was placed was pretty much blown wide open. Until she's able to secure a new base of operations, Tikka's current status is mobile, and she's relying on her set of emergency caches scattered throughout the major cities. Update: Her friend Cookie (Vanilla Wayfarer) offered to share her room with Tikka, thus solving her housing situation.

: ● Tikka, Glow, Gen, Yorric, and Ari perpetrated an intricately planned heist and stole millions of gil worth of artwork from an art auction in Ul'dah. They are currently sitting on this now hidden stash, preparing to sell it later.

: ● Armed assailants working for L'kharja Nunh tracked Tikka down to the headquarters of the Light Crusaders. They managed to render her unconscious and, despite the valiant efforts of her friends and company members, she was abducted and taken away to an unknown location. Tikka's half-brother, Pyha'to, and half-sister, Sumari, had been tracking L'kharja's men and wound up locating her just before she was kidnapped -- Tikka hadn't recognized either of them, and had fled from Pyha'to when he confronted her. Tikka's real name was revealed to be L'anya Kharja.

: ● Tikka spent many months in captivity. She was held by a group of cultists known as the Eyes of Zzahg'ghazz. They were a primal cult, based in a volcano lair about a day and a half's travel by airship from the shores of Limsa Lominsa. They were gathering crystals, intending to summon their insect god, the "Singing Lord of Shadows". Tikka was indoctrinated through the use of a special serum. She was given various magitek augments, and turned into a brainwashed assassin for the cult. She had her baby while in captivity, and L'kharja cruelly named it 'L'tarra', after Tikka's mother. He fully intended to raise L'tarra to worship Zzahg'ghazz as well. But thanks to the timely intervention of Tikka's friends and allies, and her brother and sister, Tikka was rescued from the cult and given an antidote to the indoctrination serum that had claimed her. While she had no memory of her time spent with the cultists, she catches glimpses in nightmares. Her baby was rescued from the clutches of the cultists as well. When she was introduced to her child by the father, Gen, Tikka dropped the L from the baby's name, and decided to call her Tarra Swiftpaw.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Ninja Lou]] : One of the members of the adventuring band who first discovered her and nursed her back to health. Louis has been a brother figure and a friend to her, and has helped her regain her fighting skills. Although she respects him and loves him like she would a real brother, she often enjoys helping herself to his coin purse, and challenging herself to see what else she can take without him noticing.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Shin Lightbringer]] : Another of the adventuring trio who saved her. Shin was a good friend to Tikka, until a night of indiscretion turned things awkward. Shin mistook their night of fun for something more, and was ashamed of himself. He disappeared, and she hasn't seen him since. Although she worries about him, she also feels that he overreacted.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Reis Ravenhart]] : Louis's wife, Reis has been a big sister figure to Tikka. While she tends to poke fun at Louis and generally makes him the butt of her jokes, Reis is the one that she respects the most. Lately Tikka has been training with a variety of different weapons under her tutelage, in order to enhance her versatility.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Glow N'amownoc]] : Although Tikka doesn't know Glow's true name, referring to her only by the nickname "Blueberry", she has become fast friends with the Keeper from the day they first met. Blueberry is another thief, and an often partner in crime. Tikka likes her a great deal, and often responds to the alias "Princess" that Blueberry has given her.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Vanilla Wayfarer]] : Vanilla aka "Cookie" is currently one of the few people who knows the real person behind the mask. She has become a person that Tikka can confide in, and Tikka views the Seeker as a close friend.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Haru Hattori]] : For a brief time, Tikka was head of security in the KHFNNDB (Keep Haru From Not Not Dying Brigade). Although she knows little about the lalafell, she knows that Haru is a member of the guard and isn't one in whom to confide her more illicit activities. Nevertheless, Haru has a great sense of humor, and Tikka has had plenty of fun playing around with her in the Quicksand.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Rhoe'a Lihzeh]] : While not truly an item, Tikka has spent more than one night with this dark skinned Keeper. She considers him a friend, and sometimes more than that, though she doubts it could ever develop into anything serious.

: <font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">♥</font> [[Gen Quickpaw]] : Gen is her friend, and usually nothing more than that. However, when the alcohol starts flowing and things start getting a bit crazy, she has wound up in his bed at least once. She admires the Seeker for his quick wit and humor, and is still determined to beat him in a rooftop race. She has grown significantly closer to him, and views him with a definite sort of affection. This has left her feeling conflicted, since she knows that he is in love with another.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Aurus Faith]] : This innocent young Keeper is another friend of Tikka's that went from platonic to "friends with benefits". Her room at the inn was a mess, and so when she found out that Aurus was a general laborer, she enlisted his services as what amounted to basically her live-in maid. She pays him a fair wage, calls him her "Swabbie", and lets him stay in her room -- which she hardly ever occupies. Though the times when she *is* around, she has nothing against sharing her bed.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Rashaka Larola]] : This older lalafell quickly became a father figure of sorts to Tikka. He was the first that she confided in about her dual identity, and she holds a certain affection for him.

: <font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">♥</font> [[Lynn'wo Vahnal]] : Lynn'wo "Sparrow" Vahnal was the first man that Tikka had ever truly loved. The pair had hit it off immediately. They were an impressive comedy duo, and partners in crime. They often talked about investing in a ship together to sail the world, one that they would name 'Ted'. She took off her mask for him, let him see her real self both physically and emotionally. He reciprocated by tearing out her heart and leaving her for another woman, leaving Tikka crestfallen and defeated. When her mask went back on, she vowed that she would never leave herself that vulnerable again. While she is still upset over the whole issue, she has decided that if Sparrow sends her rogue related work, she'd be more than happy to accept it. After all, emotion has no place in business. Although she still has feelings for him, she does her best to remain emotionally distant when he is around.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">●</font> [[Misha Jinhri]] : The woman that Sparrow left her for, Misha tried apologizing to Tikka for the whole fiasco. Tikka viewed the apology as a veiled attempt to gloat over her victory and, despite the woman's offer of friendship, decided she wanted to have nothing further to do with her. She blames her for Sparrow leaving her more than she blames Sparrow himself, perhaps blinded by the feelings she had for him. Recently however, her anger towards Misha seems to have subsided, as she's proven capable of interaction with her in public settings.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Yorric Lesh]] : Tikka's latest business associate. She doesn't know much about this man other than he seems to know how to run a good scam. She has recently agreed to help him with a shady arrangement, and he won serious points with her when he provided advance payment in the form of sparkly gems and sugar cubes. And as everyone knows, TikkaPoints(tm) are one of the most valuable commodities in all of Eorzea.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Reza'li Kaahn]] : She hooked up with this Keeper for what she'd intended to be a one night stand. However, her interest was piqued when he not only drew sketches of her, but he had a proclivity towards burning things. And Tikka likes fire.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">●</font> [[Flynt Knoltros]] : Tikka met this miqo'te only a couple of occasions, but he was fun enough to converse with. On their first meeting, she'd convinced him to leave the Quicksands with her. He believed he was being led into an ambush, so he secretly contacted a friend of his to shadow their progress. When Tikka found out that he thought she was setting him up to rob him, she was both amused and disappointed -- she was sure she projected a less shadier image than that.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Arianne Soren]] : Tikka has grown a lot more fond of Ari in a short amount of time. While she still doesn't know a whole lot about her, she enjoys Ari's attitude, the way she's nicknamed Tikka "Squirrel", and she feels a genuine sort of affection for the woman. She views her as someone that she can confide in.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[C'sanhsa Tia]] : She met this miqo'te in one of the rare times when she had her mask off in the Quicksand. Fresh from her breakup with Sparrow, and needing an excuse to abandon a really bad conversation with a rude hyur, she went up and butted into C'sanhsa's conversation with Jihan Rowe. Neither minded, and they helped to console her. Then her miniature sand golem appeared and started stomping around, and captured the group's interest.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Jihan Rowe]] : This miqo'te was with C'sanhsa when Tikka came up and butted into their conversation. He took particular interest in Sandcastle, and attempted to posit some theories as to how such a thing could have come to be. Tikka still remains convinced that the golem comes as part of an elaborate curse placed upon her by the bugs. She IS getting too close, after all.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">●</font> [[Star Flicker]] : Flick is Gen's girlfriend, and Tikka respects that. She hasn't spent much time getting to know her, but from the few times that they've interacted she's liked her. Lately she's overheard her saying some very unflattering things about her, but can't entirely blame her. After all, she was sleeping with her boyfriend for awhile, under the impression that they had an open relationship. Although recently, the fact that Flick literally tried to murder her with a sword has soured Tikka's opinion towards her somewhat.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Erik Ketch]] : Tikka only recently met this hyur, but he has a habit of surprising her with delectable pastries. He would have remained just another face around the company house to her, but he scored big points when he stuck up for her when a Gridanian investigator appeared and started listing charges against her. Since she had nowhere to stay since her room at the Quicksand exploded, he graciously set up a cot for her in his room in the free company house, and gave her full access to his quarters.

'''Tikka Swift''', sometimes known as "Tabitha Emberfury", sometimes known as "Princess", sometimes known as "Hey, you, stop burning things!" is a miqo'te thief and street rat who has no current permanent place of residence. During the day, she can often be found on the streets of Ul'dah, performing elaborate feats of stage magic and acrobatics in order to draw crowds of marks to make for easy pickpocketing. At night, she plies her trade across the rooftops of the city, testing her lockpicking, safecracking, and trapfinding skills out in the homes of various unsuspecting noblemen. It has recently been discovered that her birth name is L'anya Kharja.

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

Tikka is an acrobat and it shows through her build. While not overly strong, she is extremely agile and dextrous. She has a small frame and is very light, but uses that to her advantage, both to throw people off guard and to throw herself around. Her hair is a mix of red and white, though the white highlights are a natural coloration rather than a dye job. Her eyes are perhaps her most striking feature, a vivid green that often shimmer with energy and youthful exuberance. Although the young thief appears to be a Seeker, a clue to her hybrid heritage is in her slightly elongated canines -- which are far more pronounced than a Seeker's should be.

A hedonist at heart, Tikka lives a wild and crazy lifestyle. She acts on impulse, and does what she feels like doing at any given time, without any heed to potential consequences. She enjoys being random, a trait that often convinces people that she's actually at least partially insane. Plus she is generally high on sugar cubes, and that contributes significantly to her hyperactivity.

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

Tikka's mother was part of the Viper ( L ) tribe, and was one consort of many for one of the tribe's nunh's. She got pregnant by a Keeper rogue that she had fallen in love with. Since things would be bad if anyone ever found out the truth, she did her best to trick the nunh into thinking that the baby was his. Fortunately, Tikka was born with mostly Seeker features, save for her elongated canines and heightened sense of nightvision. She continued her relationship with the Keeper, and often brought Tikka to meet her real father in secret.

When she was old enough, her father started teaching her rogue skills, and she hung out with him and his group. It was because of this continued interaction that the nunh of her tribe eventually found out about the truth. He tried to have Tikka and her mother killed, but Tikka's father and his band of rogues swooped in to pull them out of danger. However, the insult would not stand, and the nunh gathered up men of his own. They pursued the band and, during the battle, Tikka's parents (along with most of the rogues) were killed.

But before they died, they urged Tikka to escape. The young rogue ran for her life, but the nunh soon caught up to her. They fought, and he beat her to within an inch of her life. But before he could land the final blow, she struck him with a knife just below the heart. His own blow proved a glancing one, but it bounced her head off a rock and Tikka went unconscious. Leaving her dying, the nunh retreated to seek medical aid -- he couldn't tell anyone the truth of what had happened, for fear of what would happen to his status if it became known that he was nearly killed by not only a female, but a female child.

Soon afterwards, Tikka was discovered by a traveling band of mercenaries -- Louis, Reis, and Shin. The trio of adventurers took her in and nursed her back to health. But after she had recovered, Tikka recalled nothing of her former life. The adventurers invited her to join them. Since she couldn't remember her name, they helped her think of one. Louis started to train her to defend herself, but when he did so, he soon discovered that she had several innate talents related to thievery. He called her 'Swift', because she was innately fast on her feet and quick fingered. Her role within the group determined, she set off with the trio in search of adventure.

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

: ● Had her heart broken in a relationship with Sparrow. Until she met him, Tikka had never loved anyone before, at least not as far as she could remember. She'd been with a lot of guys, and had certainly felt attraction. But she'd never even considered becoming exclusive with someone. That's why it was so much harder for her when it turned out that he was in love with someone else. This relationship has had a huge impact on Tikka. She has withdrawn, choosing to distance herself even further from people emotionally. She has also found comfort in the bottle, deciding that being drunk all the time keeps her mind from wandering back to the comfort she'd found in his arms.

: ● During a beach party, Tikka was refusing to go into the water to join the rest of her friends due to her fear of sharks. Instead, she stubbornly camped out on the beach and built herself a sand castle. After awhile the others managed to coax her out to join them. For unknown reasons, the sand castle animated and became a sort of miniature sand golem. From that moment, it started following her around like it was somehow connected to her. She cannot currently figure out a way to rid herself of this construct. She has tried smashing it, slicing it into pieces, dropping it from high altitude, burning it, and having mages throw magic at it. It has thus far managed to reconstruct itself each time. She has since named it 'Sandcastle' and treats it like an annoying pet. Her theory is that someone who doesn't like her placed some sort of a curse on her. Currently, in order to give herself a few moments of freedom from it, she has taken to bursting it apart into tiny pieces, putting the pieces into separate containers, filling them with water, and sealing them. Each time, Sandcastle has somehow managed to escape, reform, and locate her again. How long this process takes seems to vary from a few hours to a few days.

: ● Tikka has recently been hired to help rig some fights run by her friends Yorric, Ari, and Gen. They figured that with her charisma and her enthusiasm she would have no trouble whipping up crowds into a frenzy, causing them to bet on their fighters, who would then throw the match. It's become a profitable arrangement for all parties involved. Plus Tikka has gotten lots of pretty gems and sugar cubes out of the deal.

: ● She kept a secret stash of her belongings and stolen goods at her room at the Quicksand. Recently, her room exploded and a group of unknown assailants attacked her and Yorric. There were no survivors amongst the assailants, and there were no identifying marks that might indicate their origin. The explosion was confined mostly to her room, with just a bit of damage to surrounding rooms. The wall in which her window was placed was pretty much blown wide open. Until she's able to secure a new base of operations, Tikka's current status is mobile, and she's relying on her set of emergency caches scattered throughout the major cities. Update: Her friend Cookie (Vanilla Wayfarer) offered to share her room with Tikka, thus solving her housing situation.

: ● Tikka, Glow, Gen, Yorric, and Ari perpetrated an intricately planned heist and stole millions of gil worth of artwork from an art auction in Ul'dah. They are currently sitting on this now hidden stash, preparing to sell it later.

: ● Armed assailants working for L'kharja Nunh tracked Tikka down to the headquarters of the Light Crusaders. They managed to render her unconscious and, despite the valiant efforts of her friends and company members, she was abducted and taken away to an unknown location. Tikka's half-brother, Pyha'to, and half-sister, Sumari, had been tracking L'kharja's men and wound up locating her just before she was kidnapped -- Tikka hadn't recognized either of them, and had fled from Pyha'to when he confronted her. Tikka's real name was revealed to be L'anya Kharja.

: ● Tikka spent many months in captivity. She was held by a group of cultists known as the Eyes of Zzahg'ghazz. They were a primal cult, based in a volcano lair about a day and a half's travel by airship from the shores of Limsa Lominsa. They were gathering crystals, intending to summon their insect god, the "Singing Lord of Shadows". Tikka was indoctrinated through the use of a special serum. She was given various magitek augments, and turned into a brainwashed assassin for the cult. She had her baby while in captivity, and L'kharja cruelly named it 'L'tarra', after Tikka's mother. He fully intended to raise L'tarra to worship Zzahg'ghazz as well. But thanks to the timely intervention of Tikka's friends and allies, and her brother and sister, Tikka was rescued from the cult and given an antidote to the indoctrination serum that had claimed her. While she had no memory of her time spent with the cultists, she catches glimpses in nightmares. Her baby was rescued from the clutches of the cultists as well. When she was introduced to her child by the father, Gen, Tikka dropped the L from the baby's name, and decided to call her Tarra Swiftpaw.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Reis Ravenhart]] : Louis's wife, Reis has been a big sister figure to Tikka. While she tends to poke fun at Louis and generally makes him the butt of her jokes, Reis is the one that she respects the most. Lately Tikka has been training with a variety of different weapons under her tutelage, in order to enhance her versatility.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Glow N'amownoc]] : Although Tikka doesn't know Glow's true name, referring to her only by the nickname "Blueberry", she has become fast friends with the Keeper from the day they first met. Blueberry is another thief, and an often partner in crime. Tikka likes her a great deal, and often responds to the alias "Princess" that Blueberry has given her.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Vanilla Wayfarer]] : Vanilla aka "Cookie" is currently one of the few people who knows the real person behind the mask. She has become a person that Tikka can confide in, and Tikka views the Seeker as a close friend.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Haru Hattori]] : For a brief time, Tikka was head of security in the KHFNNDB (Keep Haru From Not Not Dying Brigade). Although she knows little about the lalafell, she knows that Haru is a member of the guard and isn't one in whom to confide her more illicit activities. Nevertheless, Haru has a great sense of humor, and Tikka has had plenty of fun playing around with her in the Quicksand.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Rhoe'a Lihzeh]] : While not truly an item, Tikka has spent more than one night with this dark skinned Keeper. She considers him a friend, and sometimes more than that, though she doubts it could ever develop into anything serious.

: <font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">♥</font> [[Gen Quickpaw]] : Gen is her friend, and usually nothing more than that. However, when the alcohol starts flowing and things start getting a bit crazy, she has wound up in his bed at least once. She admires the Seeker for his quick wit and humor, and is still determined to beat him in a rooftop race. She has grown significantly closer to him, and views him with a definite sort of affection. This has left her feeling conflicted, since she knows that he is in love with another.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Aurus Faith]] : This innocent young Keeper is another friend of Tikka's that went from platonic to "friends with benefits". Her room at the inn was a mess, and so when she found out that Aurus was a general laborer, she enlisted his services as what amounted to basically her live-in maid. She pays him a fair wage, calls him her "Swabbie", and lets him stay in her room -- which she hardly ever occupies. Though the times when she *is* around, she has nothing against sharing her bed.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Rashaka Larola]] : This older lalafell quickly became a father figure of sorts to Tikka. He was the first that she confided in about her dual identity, and she holds a certain affection for him.

: <font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">♥</font> [[Lynn'wo Vahnal]] : Lynn'wo "Sparrow" Vahnal was the first man that Tikka had ever truly loved. The pair had hit it off immediately. They were an impressive comedy duo, and partners in crime. They often talked about investing in a ship together to sail the world, one that they would name 'Ted'. She took off her mask for him, let him see her real self both physically and emotionally. He reciprocated by tearing out her heart and leaving her for another woman, leaving Tikka crestfallen and defeated. When her mask went back on, she vowed that she would never leave herself that vulnerable again. While she is still upset over the whole issue, she has decided that if Sparrow sends her rogue related work, she'd be more than happy to accept it. After all, emotion has no place in business. Although she still has feelings for him, she does her best to remain emotionally distant when he is around.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">●</font> [[Misha Jinhri]] : The woman that Sparrow left her for, Misha tried apologizing to Tikka for the whole fiasco. Tikka viewed the apology as a veiled attempt to gloat over her victory and, despite the woman's offer of friendship, decided she wanted to have nothing further to do with her. She blames her for Sparrow leaving her more than she blames Sparrow himself, perhaps blinded by the feelings she had for him. Recently however, her anger towards Misha seems to have subsided, as she's proven capable of interaction with her in public settings.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Yorric Lesh]] : Tikka's latest business associate. She doesn't know much about this man other than he seems to know how to run a good scam. She has recently agreed to help him with a shady arrangement, and he won serious points with her when he provided advance payment in the form of sparkly gems and sugar cubes. And as everyone knows, TikkaPoints(tm) are one of the most valuable commodities in all of Eorzea.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Reza'li Kaahn]] : She hooked up with this Keeper for what she'd intended to be a one night stand. However, her interest was piqued when he not only drew sketches of her, but he had a proclivity towards burning things. And Tikka likes fire.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">●</font> [[Flynt Knoltros]] : Tikka met this miqo'te only a couple of occasions, but he was fun enough to converse with. On their first meeting, she'd convinced him to leave the Quicksands with her. He believed he was being led into an ambush, so he secretly contacted a friend of his to shadow their progress. When Tikka found out that he thought she was setting him up to rob him, she was both amused and disappointed -- she was sure she projected a less shadier image than that.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Arianne Soren]] : Tikka has grown a lot more fond of Ari in a short amount of time. While she still doesn't know a whole lot about her, she enjoys Ari's attitude, the way she's nicknamed Tikka "Squirrel", and she feels a genuine sort of affection for the woman. She views her as someone that she can confide in.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[C'sanhsa Tia]] : She met this miqo'te in one of the rare times when she had her mask off in the Quicksand. Fresh from her breakup with Sparrow, and needing an excuse to abandon a really bad conversation with a rude hyur, she went up and butted into C'sanhsa's conversation with Jihan Rowe. Neither minded, and they helped to console her. Then her miniature sand golem appeared and started stomping around, and captured the group's interest.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Jihan Rowe]] : This miqo'te was with C'sanhsa when Tikka came up and butted into their conversation. He took particular interest in Sandcastle, and attempted to posit some theories as to how such a thing could have come to be. Tikka still remains convinced that the golem comes as part of an elaborate curse placed upon her by the bugs. She IS getting too close, after all.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">●</font> [[Star Flicker]] : Flick is Gen's girlfriend, and Tikka respects that. She hasn't spent much time getting to know her, but from the few times that they've interacted she's liked her. Lately she's overheard her saying some very unflattering things about her, but can't entirely blame her. After all, she was sleeping with her boyfriend for awhile, under the impression that they had an open relationship. Although recently, the fact that Flick literally tried to murder her with a sword has soured Tikka's opinion towards her somewhat.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Erik Ketch]] : Tikka only recently met this hyur, but he has a habit of surprising her with delectable pastries. He would have remained just another face around the company house to her, but he scored big points when he stuck up for her when a Gridanian investigator appeared and started listing charges against her. Since she had nowhere to stay since her room at the Quicksand exploded, he graciously set up a cot for her in his room in the free company house, and gave her full access to his quarters.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Appearance & Personality</div>===
:
Pyha'to is a young man who has seen more than someone his age should have. Though he maintains a normally calm and easy-going demeanor, it isn't hard to tell that his gaze his haunted by memories of his past. Neither tall nor short, he stands as an average example of his species, and his athletic build hints at someone who spends much of his time on the practice field. He walks with precision and confidence, though without any sign of arrogance.

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

Pyha'to and his sister, Sumari, were both born and raised in the secret underground enclave of the Dusk Dancers. The Dusk Dancers was a group of rogues that operated independently of any of the larger thieves guilds based out of the three major Eorzean city-states. Their existence was tolerated due to their altruistic nature – their mission was to help anyone who came to them with problems which were too complicated to be handled by members of any local authorities.

Their mother and father had an open relationship with each other. When Pyha'to and Sumari were just babies, they were introduced to their half-sister, L'anya Kharja, who was the result of their father falling for a Seeker woman who was part of a more traditional Seeker tribe. L'tarra Khoran had to keep her visits to their group a secret, and her daughter was named in a traditional Seeker fashion, as she had to maintain the ruse that the baby's father was L'kharja Nunh, a man with influence within her tribe. Though visits were less than frequent, Pyha'to and Sumari accepted L'anya as their sibling and, as they grew older, the three played together whenever L'tarra brought little L'anya to visit.

The caverns their group inhabited were located within the Shroud. They were an expansive network of tunnels, and were crisscrossed with underground streams and waterfalls. For two young children, these proved irresistible to explore. Pyha'to and Sumari (along with any of the other Dusk Dancer children who wished to tag along, or L'anya if she was currently visiting) had their own series of adventures within those tunnels – they held off hordes of monsters, saved countless princesses (and princes, at Sumari's insistence), their adventure limited only by the scope of their imaginations.

When he was old enough, Pyha'to began learning skills which would be useful to the group. He spent much time in the outdoors with the group's hunters and trackers. He loved the outdoors, loved the wilderness. He learned how to read signs from sets of tracks, how to stalk prey, and how to set up useful traps. Once he was big enough to wield a weapon, he found himself gravitating towards the longspear as his weapon of choice, though he also received training in a number of different weapons, and was also trained in a variety of unarmed fighting techniques.

L'anya often watched him train, though her mother was reluctant to let her join in. Pyha'to argued that she should learn how to defend herself. With L'tarra watching, he showed L'anya the basics. He was only a novice himself, but L'tarra quickly realized how valuable such instruction was. She asked if Pyha'to could convince his father to teach her daughter as well. Hanji'a had been reluctant to provide training, since he didn't want to endanger L'anya if L'kharja Nunh discovered her skills and found out where she had learned them. However, in the end Pyha'to convinced his father that L'anya would only be safer if she knew how to fight, and soon L'anya started practicing with the group's young trainees whenever she came to visit.

In the end, L'kharja Nunh eventually did discover the true origins of his “daughter”. While L'anya mostly appeared to be a Seeker, there were hints at her half-breed heritage. L'kharja had spies watching L'tarra and despite her caution, her meetings with the Dusk Dancers were discovered. L'kharja was out for revenge. For years he had been made to look like a fool. He hired a band of assassins and, accompanying them to the Dusk Dancer enclave, he began murdering any that he believed were implicit in this deception. They swept through the caverns, murdering men and women alike, slaughtering children.

Hanji'a and Pyha were each slain by the vindictive nunh, though not before urging their children to flee. They stole through the caverns, hounded by L'kharja and his assassins. Just before they reached the surface, it became obvious that they were going to be overtaken. Pyha'to urged Sumari and L'anya onwards, then turned to buy them some time.

Sumari turned to stay but, when she saw L'anya do the same, she was left with little choice but to flee with her younger sister. Pyha'to fought bravely and, while he possessed a fierce warrior spirit, he was still just a novice and no match for a band of trained assassins. Still, he was able to occupy them long enough while his sisters slipped away.

During the fight, Pyha'to was knocked off a rickety wooden bridge that spanned a gap in the canyon. He was knocked unconscious and left for dead by the assassins. When he finally awoke, he was being cared for by Sumari. It was then that she told him the sad truth – though she'd done her best to keep L'anya safe, they had gotten separated in the forest. By the time she'd managed to evade her own pursuers and had gone back to search for her sister, she came across L'kharja Nunh. He was bleeding, mortally wounded. When she had confronted him, he held up his bloody weapon and sneered. L'anya was dead. Sumari was about to attack, to end the man's life, when she heard the assassins closing in once again. She had no choice but to turn and flee. At least L'kharja was in no condition to go after her.

Sumari helped Pyha'to out of the chasm. While Pyha'to wanted to go back and bury the bodies, Sumari reasoned that they couldn't return so soon after the attack – it would surely be under some sort of watch. The pair left their home behind and traveled to the nearby city-state of Gridania.

After he had recovered, Pyha'to became obsessed with revenge. He strove constantly to better himself, working on his skills and honing his abilities. To earn enough coin to get by, both he and his sister became bounty hunters – tracking down escaped criminals and wanted targets, and returning them to whomever was funding the contract. This line of work enabled him to create a network of informants, which he has steadily been using to gather information on L'kharja Nunh and his allies.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Developments</div>===
:
: ● Has recently learned through his contacts that his half-sister, L'anya, may still be alive.

: ● Pyha'to and his sister followed the movements of L'kharja's men, and recently discovered them converging on an area in Mist. Pyha'to found L'anya there but, when he confronted her, she fled -- likely assuming that he was working with some form of local law enforcement. He tailed her to the company headquarters of the Light Crusaders, and arrived just in time for L'kharja's men to ambush L'anya. Pyha'to and several of the Light Crusader members rushed to her aid, but were unable to prevent them from abducting her.

: ● The culmination of many months of effort and planning enabled Pye and his allies to track down where L'kharja had taken L'anya. In the time since Pyha'to had known L'kharja, the man had grown in power and influence. He was now a high ranking cultist, working for a primal cult known as the Eyes of Zzahg'ghazz -- a group who intend to summon their insect god, the 'Singing Lord of Shadows' to Eorzea. They were based in a volcano lair about a day's travel by airship off the coast of Limsa Lominsa. Pye and his allies infiltrated the stronghold via a special aetheryte they'd gained access to, while a fleet sent by the Maelstrom engaged the cultists in a frontal assault. They managed to find L'anya, who had been brainwashed and turned into a magitek-augmented assassin, and subdued her. They fought against L'kharja as well, but before they could land the killing blow, he managed to escape.

She supplies the ranger with the gadgets and traps that he brings out into the field. He would do anything to protect her, up to and including dying for her.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Tikka Swift]] : While he knows her as L'anya Kharja and believes her to be dead, she is very much alive. He has heard rumors of someone matching her description, yet has thus far discovered no evidence to back up those sightings.

: <font style="color:#F02311;" size="3">♥</font> [[Glow N'amownoc]] : The subject of one of the first bounty contracts that he and his sister accepted. This contract was also their first significant failure. However, while they failed to capture this elusive target, their target -- unintentionally or not -- led them to stumble across an underground slave trafficking ring that they were subsequently able to put a stop to. The bounty for capturing the criminals worked out to be more than Glow's was worth. As there is no longer a bounty on this individual that has been posted by anyone that he would care to work for, Pyha'to was willing to let her go with no hard feelings. He encountered her again recently, and a series of casual flings gradually grew into more. They are now in a relationship in an official capacity, although both consider it an open ordeal.

: <font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font> [[Valkhiss Lasher]] : He is the mage that created the portal that enabled L'Kharja Nunh's men to abduct his sister, L'anya. With the aid of one of Valkhiss's angry ex girlfriends, Pye and Sumari were able to track Valkhiss down. Due to the elusive nature of their prey, they needed to disable him quickly. To this end, Pye convinced Sumari to use an untested device that she had created, to aid in his capture. The device worked, but arguably too well. It overloaded Valkhiss's central nervous system, rendered him unconscious, but then wiped his long term memories. When he awoke, he had no memory of who he was, and his interrogation yielded nothing that could help them in finding L'anya. Pye doesn't trust Lasher, not as far as he can throw the man. But his sister has convinced him that they need him alive. For the time being, Pye has left his care in Sumari's hands, because he knows that if he gets too close, bad things will happen.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Garnet Rayn]] : Pyha'to met this enigmantic woman from Garlemond while he was battling a cultist near Highbridge. The cultist had gotten advantage over him and was about to knock him into the abyss, when Garnet came to his aid and saved his life. The two spent the night together, and Pye felt an immediate sort of attraction to her -- an attraction that continued even after learning of her true heritage.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Appearance & Personality</div>===
:
Pyha'to is a young man who has seen more than someone his age should have. Though he maintains a normally calm and easy-going demeanor, it isn't hard to tell that his gaze his haunted by memories of his past. Neither tall nor short, he stands as an average example of his species, and his athletic build hints at someone who spends much of his time on the practice field. He walks with precision and confidence, though without any sign of arrogance.

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

Pyha'to and his sister, Sumari, were both born and raised in the secret underground enclave of the Dusk Dancers. The Dusk Dancers was a group of rogues that operated independently of any of the larger thieves guilds based out of the three major Eorzean city-states. Their existence was tolerated due to their altruistic nature – their mission was to help anyone who came to them with problems which were too complicated to be handled by members of any local authorities.

Their mother and father had an open relationship with each other. When Pyha'to and Sumari were just babies, they were introduced to their half-sister, L'anya Kharja, who was the result of their father falling for a Seeker woman who was part of a more traditional Seeker tribe. L'tarra Khoran had to keep her visits to their group a secret, and her daughter was named in a traditional Seeker fashion, as she had to maintain the ruse that the baby's father was L'kharja Nunh, a man with influence within her tribe. Though visits were less than frequent, Pyha'to and Sumari accepted L'anya as their sibling and, as they grew older, the three played together whenever L'tarra brought little L'anya to visit.

The caverns their group inhabited were located within the Shroud. They were an expansive network of tunnels, and were crisscrossed with underground streams and waterfalls. For two young children, these proved irresistible to explore. Pyha'to and Sumari (along with any of the other Dusk Dancer children who wished to tag along, or L'anya if she was currently visiting) had their own series of adventures within those tunnels – they held off hordes of monsters, saved countless princesses (and princes, at Sumari's insistence), their adventure limited only by the scope of their imaginations.

When he was old enough, Pyha'to began learning skills which would be useful to the group. He spent much time in the outdoors with the group's hunters and trackers. He loved the outdoors, loved the wilderness. He learned how to read signs from sets of tracks, how to stalk prey, and how to set up useful traps. Once he was big enough to wield a weapon, he found himself gravitating towards the longspear as his weapon of choice, though he also received training in a number of different weapons, and was also trained in a variety of unarmed fighting techniques.

L'anya often watched him train, though her mother was reluctant to let her join in. Pyha'to argued that she should learn how to defend herself. With L'tarra watching, he showed L'anya the basics. He was only a novice himself, but L'tarra quickly realized how valuable such instruction was. She asked if Pyha'to could convince his father to teach her daughter as well. Hanji'a had been reluctant to provide training, since he didn't want to endanger L'anya if L'kharja Nunh discovered her skills and found out where she had learned them. However, in the end Pyha'to convinced his father that L'anya would only be safer if she knew how to fight, and soon L'anya started practicing with the group's young trainees whenever she came to visit.

In the end, L'kharja Nunh eventually did discover the true origins of his “daughter”. While L'anya mostly appeared to be a Seeker, there were hints at her half-breed heritage. L'kharja had spies watching L'tarra and despite her caution, her meetings with the Dusk Dancers were discovered. L'kharja was out for revenge. For years he had been made to look like a fool. He hired a band of assassins and, accompanying them to the Dusk Dancer enclave, he began murdering any that he believed were implicit in this deception. They swept through the caverns, murdering men and women alike, slaughtering children.

Hanji'a and Pyha were each slain by the vindictive nunh, though not before urging their children to flee. They stole through the caverns, hounded by L'kharja and his assassins. Just before they reached the surface, it became obvious that they were going to be overtaken. Pyha'to urged Sumari and L'anya onwards, then turned to buy them some time.

Sumari turned to stay but, when she saw L'anya do the same, she was left with little choice but to flee with her younger sister. Pyha'to fought bravely and, while he possessed a fierce warrior spirit, he was still just a novice and no match for a band of trained assassins. Still, he was able to occupy them long enough while his sisters slipped away.

During the fight, Pyha'to was knocked off a rickety wooden bridge that spanned a gap in the canyon. He was knocked unconscious and left for dead by the assassins. When he finally awoke, he was being cared for by Sumari. It was then that she told him the sad truth – though she'd done her best to keep L'anya safe, they had gotten separated in the forest. By the time she'd managed to evade her own pursuers and had gone back to search for her sister, she came across L'kharja Nunh. He was bleeding, mortally wounded. When she had confronted him, he held up his bloody weapon and sneered. L'anya was dead. Sumari was about to attack, to end the man's life, when she heard the assassins closing in once again. She had no choice but to turn and flee. At least L'kharja was in no condition to go after her.

Sumari helped Pyha'to out of the chasm. While Pyha'to wanted to go back and bury the bodies, Sumari reasoned that they couldn't return so soon after the attack – it would surely be under some sort of watch. The pair left their home behind and traveled to the nearby city-state of Gridania.

After he had recovered, Pyha'to became obsessed with revenge. He strove constantly to better himself, working on his skills and honing his abilities. To earn enough coin to get by, both he and his sister became bounty hunters – tracking down escaped criminals and wanted targets, and returning them to whomever was funding the contract. This line of work enabled him to create a network of informants, which he has steadily been using to gather information on L'kharja Nunh and his allies.

Pyha'to and several of the Light Crusader members rushed to her aid, but were unable to prevent them from abducting her.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Sumari Polaali]] : Pyha'to's twin sister. The two have been practically inseparable since birth, and they have a deep connection. She supplies the ranger with the gadgets and traps that he brings out into the field. He would do anything to protect her, up to and including dying for her.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Tikka Swift]] : While he knows her as L'anya Kharja and believes her to be dead, she is very much alive. He has heard rumors of someone matching her description, yet has thus far discovered no evidence to back up those sightings.

: <font style="color:#F02311;" size="3">♥</font> [[Glow N'amownoc]] : The subject of one of the first bounty contracts that he and his sister accepted. This contract was also their first significant failure. However, while they failed to capture this elusive target, their target -- unintentionally or not -- led them to stumble across an underground slave trafficking ring that they were subsequently able to put a stop to. The bounty for capturing the criminals worked out to be more than Glow's was worth. As there is no longer a bounty on this individual that has been posted by anyone that he would care to work for, Pyha'to was willing to let her go with no hard feelings. He encountered her again recently, and a series of casual flings gradually grew into more. They are now in a relationship in an official capacity, although both consider it an open ordeal.

: <font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font> [[Valkhiss Lasher]] : He is the mage that created the portal that enabled L'Kharja Nunh's men to abduct his sister, L'anya. With the aid of one of Valkhiss's angry ex girlfriends, Pye and Sumari were able to track Valkhiss down. Due to the elusive nature of their prey, they needed to disable him quickly. To this end, Pye convinced Sumari to use an untested device that she had created, to aid in his capture. The device worked, but arguably too well. It overloaded Valkhiss's central nervous system, rendered him unconscious, but then wiped his long term memories. When he awoke, he had no memory of who he was, and his interrogation yielded nothing that could help them in finding L'anya. Pye doesn't trust Lasher, not as far as he can throw the man. But his sister has convinced him that they need him alive. For the time being, Pye has left his care in Sumari's hands, because he knows that if he gets too close, bad things will happen.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Garnet Rayn]] : Pyha'to met this enigmantic woman from Garlemond while he was battling a cultist near Highbridge. The cultist had gotten advantage over him and was about to knock him into the abyss, when Garnet came to his aid and saved his life. The two spent the night together, and Pye felt an immediate sort of attraction to her -- an attraction that continued even after learning of her true heritage.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Sumari Polaali]] : Pyha'to's twin sister. The two have been practically inseparable since birth, and they have a deep connection. She supplies the ranger with the gadgets and traps that he brings out into the field. He would do anything to protect her, up to and including dying for her.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Tikka Swift]] : While he knows her as L'anya Kharja and believes her to be dead, she is very much alive. He has heard rumors of someone matching her description, yet has thus far discovered no evidence to back up those sightings.

: <font style="color:#F02311;" size="3">♥</font> [[Glow N'amownoc]] : The subject of one of the first bounty contracts that he and his sister accepted. This contract was also their first significant failure. However, while they failed to capture this elusive target, their target -- unintentionally or not -- led them to stumble across an underground slave trafficking ring that they were subsequently able to put a stop to. The bounty for capturing the criminals worked out to be more than Glow's was worth. As there is no longer a bounty on this individual that has been posted by anyone that he would care to work for, Pyha'to was willing to let her go with no hard feelings. He encountered her again recently, and a series of casual flings gradually grew into more. They are now in a relationship in an official capacity, although both consider it an open ordeal.

: <font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font> [[Valkhiss Lasher]] : He is the mage that created the portal that enabled L'Kharja Nunh's men to abduct his sister, L'anya. With the aid of one of Valkhiss's angry ex girlfriends, Pye and Sumari were able to track Valkhiss down. Due to the elusive nature of their prey, they needed to disable him quickly. To this end, Pye convinced Sumari to use an untested device that she had created, to aid in his capture. The device worked, but arguably too well. It overloaded Valkhiss's central nervous system, rendered him unconscious, but then wiped his long term memories. When he awoke, he had no memory of who he was, and his interrogation yielded nothing that could help them in finding L'anya. Pye doesn't trust Lasher, not as far as he can throw the man. But his sister has convinced him that they need him alive. For the time being, Pye has left his care in Sumari's hands, because he knows that if he gets too close, bad things will happen.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Garnet Rayn]] : Pyha'to met this enigmantic woman from Garlemond while he was battling a cultist near Highbridge. The cultist had gotten advantage over him and was about to knock him into the abyss, when Garnet came to his aid and saved his life. The two spent the night together, and Pye felt an immediate sort of attraction to her -- an attraction that continued even after learning of her true heritage.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Appearance & Personality</div>===
:
Sumari is a bright young woman with a positive outlook on life despite what she has experienced in the past. Her silver hair is kept in dreads, and her blue eyes shine with an inner light of intelligence. She is petite in build and, while not out of shape by any means, she has the physical build of someone who lets magic (or her brother) handle most of the heavy lifting. She loves intelligent conversation, but has no patience for boring people. She has a wild imagination, and often gets lost in her own stories and fabrications.

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

Sumari and her brother, Pyha'to, were both born and raised in the secret underground enclave of the Dusk Dancers. The Dusk Dancers was a group of rogues that operated independently of any of the larger thieves guilds based out of the three major Eorzean city-states. Their existence was tolerated due to their altruistic nature – their mission was to help anyone who came to them with problems which were too complicated to be handled by members of any local authorities.

Their mother and father had an open relationship with each other. When Sumari and Pyha'to were just babies, they were introduced to their half-sister, L'anya Kharja, who was the result of their father falling for a Seeker woman who was part of a more traditional Seeker tribe. L'tarra Khoran had to keep her visits to their group a secret, and her daughter was named in a traditional Seeker fashion, as she had to maintain the ruse that the baby's father was L'kharja Nunh, a man with influence within her tribe. Though visits were less than frequent, Sumari and Pyha'to accepted L'anya as their sibling and, as they grew older, the three played together whenever L'tarra brought little L'anya to visit.

Magical talent was seemingly absent in their family's bloodline on both sides of the family. Pyha'to and L'anya likewise showed no sign of mystical affinity, and everyone was certain that all three children would continue the family legacy. However, Sumari manifested her gifts at an early age, much to the surprise of everyone. Not only did she have a magical gift, but she had quite a strong innate talent. She was always accidentally setting something on fire, much to the delight of her half-sister, L'anya.

While her brother honed his martial skills on the practice fields, Sumari was instead inducted into the small cloister of mages that the Dusk Dancers kept in their enclave. She soon learned to direct and shape her magical energies, and discovered that she had a special affinity for destruction. Sumari also discovered that she enjoyed learning how things worked. In her spare time she often worked with the Dusk Dancer Engineering Corps, and helped to take things apart and put them back together again.

But her happy life within the enclave was soon to change. L'kharja Nunh soon discovered that L'tarra had been deceiving him about L'anya's origins. When he learned about the Dusk Dancers, and that L'anya's true father was one of their lieutenants, he couldn't let the insult stand. Accompanied by a group of assassins, he swept through the enclave, bringing murder and destruction in his wake.
Hanji'a and Pyha fought to keep their children safe, but they were each slain by L'kharja. Sumari and Pyha'to managed to escape, with L'anya in tow, but with the assassins right on their heels. As they neared the surface and it was clear that they were about to be overtaken, Pyha'to turned and stood fast, ready to buy Sumari and L'anya time to escape. Sumari refused to abandon her twin at first, but when she saw that L'anya wouldn't flee without her, she was left with no choice but to leave.

They fled into the forest, but Pyha'to's sacrifice hadn't given them much breathing room. They could hear the assassins closing in. The ground gave way beneath L'anya's feet and she tumbled down a steep embankment. Sumari couldn't catch her in time, and knew that if she went after her, they would both be overtaken. She stopped long enough to spot the assassins, sent a torrent of flame towards them, then took off in another direction in the hopes of leading them away from her half-sister.

The gambit worked and the assassins followed her through the forest. After an extended game of cat and mouse, she finally managed to evade her pursuers. She returned to search for L'anya but, as she closed in on where she'd last spotted her, she came across the mortally wounded form of L'kharja Nunh making his way through the forest. She confronted him, and he presented her with his bloody weapon, told her that he'd just killed her sister. Rage built up inside her and she was about to incinerate the vindictive nunh, when she heard his men approaching. Left with little choice, she fled back into the forest.
After some time had passed, she stealthily returned to the caves to search for survivors. Her parents were dead, as was everyone she had ever known. Sumari was about to give in to despair when, as she crossed a bridge leading towards the cavern's exit, she heard the muffled sounds of labored breathing coming from below. Sumari climbed down into the chasm beneath the bridge, and she discovered that Pyha'to was severely wounded, but still alive.

She managed to rig up a harness and help Pyha'to out of the chasm. He suggested that they return to bury the bodies, but Sumari reasoned that L'kharja likely had men stationed to watch the enclave, and there was no way that they could remove that many bodies without drawing attention to themselves. They fled to the city-state of Gridania, and she looked after her twin while he recovered from his wounds.
Once he was well again, they decided they needed a plan. They had very little coin to their name, which meant they needed to figure out a way to earn more. Sumari spotted a notice on a nearby board which listed escaped criminals in the area. With her brother's tracking skills and martial prowess and her own mystical talent, she reasoned that it would be an easy thing to track some of them down.
They became bounty hunters, a career which wound up making them some useful contacts. Although their past was behind them, Sumari and Pyha'to vowed to find L'kharja Nunh and bring him to justice – one way or the other.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Pyha'to Polaali]] : Sumari's twin brother. She shares a deep connection with him, and he is entirely too protective of her. As her last living family member (that she is aware of), the feeling is definitely mutual.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Tikka Swift]] : Known to her as L'anya, Sumari and her brother have recently discovered that she is alive. However, before they were able to reunite with their half-sister, L'anya was abducted by L'kharja Nunh's men. Sumari and her brother are now working alongside L'anya's various friends to try and get her back.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Vanilla Wayfarer]] : Sumari met Vanilla shortly after L'anya's abduction. L'anya was one of Vanilla's best friends and the abduction hit her particularly hard, and she told Sumari that she felt weak and helpless. Sumari could identify with Vanilla's feelings, as she had gone through the same thing when she believed that L'kharja Nunh murdered her sister. She now feels a certain sense of responsibility towards the girl.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Arianne Soren]] : While looking for L'anya, Sumari showed Arianne a picture of her while at the Quicksand in Ul'dah. Arianne knew L'anya as Tikka Swift, but she feigned ignorance as she didn't know who Sumari was, and assumed that if someone was looking for Tikka, it was bad. Sumari has since learned that Arianne is a member of the Light Crusaders. She doesn't blame Arianne for her deception, but she does believe that if the woman had been more up front with her from the start, there is a chance that it may have prevented L'anya's kidnapping.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">●</font> [[Glow N'amownoc]] : The subject of one of the first bounty contracts that she and her brother accepted. This contract was also their first significant failure. However, while they failed to capture this elusive target, their target -- unintentionally or not -- led them to stumble across an underground slave trafficking ring that they were subsequently able to put a stop to. The bounty for capturing the criminals worked out to be more than Glow's was worth. As there is no longer a bounty on this individual that has been posted by anyone that she would care to work for, Sumari's feelings towards her are neutral.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Gen Quickpaw]] : Sumari met Gen once or twice after her sister's abduction, but she didn't really get to know him after she worked with him while investigating certain aspects of her sister's abduction. After a night of heavy drinking and a night of equally heavy passion, she's discovered that she gets along fairly well the with rogue.

: <font style="color:#F02311;" size="3">♥</font> [[Valkhiss Lasher]] : He was the mage responsible for creating the portal that enabled L'kharja Nunh's men to abduct her sister, L'anya. Sumari and Pyha'to tracked him down with the help of one of Valkhiss's angry ex girlfriends. They sought to capture him and needed to take their quarry down quickly due to the elusive nature of their prey. As such, Pye convinced Sumari to take an untested gadget into the field. The device worked, but it worked too well. It overloaded Lasher's nervous system and wiped his long term memory. When he came to, he was a different person. Although she didn't trust him at first, her time spent guarding him as caused Sumari to realize that the man Valkhiss is now is not the one that he once was. Her trust eventually grew into something more, and she now considers him someone that she cares for deeply. He has since used his magic to help Sumari and her allies rescue L'anya from the clutches of the cultists that abducted her.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Appearance & Personality</div>===
:
Sumari is a bright young woman with a positive outlook on life despite what she has experienced in the past. Her silver hair is kept in dreads, and her blue eyes shine with an inner light of intelligence. She is petite in build and, while not out of shape by any means, she has the physical build of someone who lets magic (or her brother) handle most of the heavy lifting. She loves intelligent conversation, but has no patience for boring people. She has a wild imagination, and often gets lost in her own stories and fabrications.

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

Sumari and her brother, Pyha'to, were both born and raised in the secret underground enclave of the Dusk Dancers. The Dusk Dancers was a group of rogues that operated independently of any of the larger thieves guilds based out of the three major Eorzean city-states. Their existence was tolerated due to their altruistic nature – their mission was to help anyone who came to them with problems which were too complicated to be handled by members of any local authorities.

Their mother and father had an open relationship with each other. When Sumari and Pyha'to were just babies, they were introduced to their half-sister, L'anya Kharja, who was the result of their father falling for a Seeker woman who was part of a more traditional Seeker tribe. L'tarra Khoran had to keep her visits to their group a secret, and her daughter was named in a traditional Seeker fashion, as she had to maintain the ruse that the baby's father was L'kharja Nunh, a man with influence within her tribe. Though visits were less than frequent, Sumari and Pyha'to accepted L'anya as their sibling and, as they grew older, the three played together whenever L'tarra brought little L'anya to visit.

Magical talent was seemingly absent in their family's bloodline on both sides of the family. Pyha'to and L'anya likewise showed no sign of mystical affinity, and everyone was certain that all three children would continue the family legacy. However, Sumari manifested her gifts at an early age, much to the surprise of everyone. Not only did she have a magical gift, but she had quite a strong innate talent. She was always accidentally setting something on fire, much to the delight of her half-sister, L'anya.

While her brother honed his martial skills on the practice fields, Sumari was instead inducted into the small cloister of mages that the Dusk Dancers kept in their enclave. She soon learned to direct and shape her magical energies, and discovered that she had a special affinity for destruction. Sumari also discovered that she enjoyed learning how things worked. In her spare time she often worked with the Dusk Dancer Engineering Corps, and helped to take things apart and put them back together again.

But her happy life within the enclave was soon to change. L'kharja Nunh soon discovered that L'tarra had been deceiving him about L'anya's origins. When he learned about the Dusk Dancers, and that L'anya's true father was one of their lieutenants, he couldn't let the insult stand. Accompanied by a group of assassins, he swept through the enclave, bringing murder and destruction in his wake.
Hanji'a and Pyha fought to keep their children safe, but they were each slain by L'kharja. Sumari and Pyha'to managed to escape, with L'anya in tow, but with the assassins right on their heels. As they neared the surface and it was clear that they were about to be overtaken, Pyha'to turned and stood fast, ready to buy Sumari and L'anya time to escape. Sumari refused to abandon her twin at first, but when she saw that L'anya wouldn't flee without her, she was left with no choice but to leave.

They fled into the forest, but Pyha'to's sacrifice hadn't given them much breathing room. They could hear the assassins closing in. The ground gave way beneath L'anya's feet and she tumbled down a steep embankment. Sumari couldn't catch her in time, and knew that if she went after her, they would both be overtaken. She stopped long enough to spot the assassins, sent a torrent of flame towards them, then took off in another direction in the hopes of leading them away from her half-sister.

The gambit worked and the assassins followed her through the forest. After an extended game of cat and mouse, she finally managed to evade her pursuers. She returned to search for L'anya but, as she closed in on where she'd last spotted her, she came across the mortally wounded form of L'kharja Nunh making his way through the forest. She confronted him, and he presented her with his bloody weapon, told her that he'd just killed her sister. Rage built up inside her and she was about to incinerate the vindictive nunh, when she heard his men approaching. Left with little choice, she fled back into the forest.
After some time had passed, she stealthily returned to the caves to search for survivors. Her parents were dead, as was everyone she had ever known. Sumari was about to give in to despair when, as she crossed a bridge leading towards the cavern's exit, she heard the muffled sounds of labored breathing coming from below. Sumari climbed down into the chasm beneath the bridge, and she discovered that Pyha'to was severely wounded, but still alive.

She managed to rig up a harness and help Pyha'to out of the chasm. He suggested that they return to bury the bodies, but Sumari reasoned that L'kharja likely had men stationed to watch the enclave, and there was no way that they could remove that many bodies without drawing attention to themselves. They fled to the city-state of Gridania, and she looked after her twin while he recovered from his wounds.
Once he was well again, they decided they needed a plan. They had very little coin to their name, which meant they needed to figure out a way to earn more. Sumari spotted a notice on a nearby board which listed escaped criminals in the area. With her brother's tracking skills and martial prowess and her own mystical talent, she reasoned that it would be an easy thing to track some of them down.
They became bounty hunters, a career which wound up making them some useful contacts. Although their past was behind them, Sumari and Pyha'to vowed to find L'kharja Nunh and bring him to justice – one way or the other.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Pyha'to Polaali]] : Sumari's twin brother. She shares a deep connection with him, and he is entirely too protective of her. As her last living family member (that she is aware of), the feeling is definitely mutual.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Tikka Swift]] : Known to her as L'anya, Sumari and her brother have recently discovered that she is alive. However, before they were able to reunite with their half-sister, L'anya was abducted by L'kharja Nunh's men. Sumari and her brother are now working alongside L'anya's various friends to try and get her back.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Vanilla Wayfarer]] : Sumari met Vanilla shortly after L'anya's abduction. L'anya was one of Vanilla's best friends and the abduction hit her particularly hard, and she told Sumari that she felt weak and helpless. Sumari could identify with Vanilla's feelings, as she had gone through the same thing when she believed that L'kharja Nunh murdered her sister. She now feels a certain sense of responsibility towards the girl.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Arianne Soren]] : While looking for L'anya, Sumari showed Arianne a picture of her while at the Quicksand in Ul'dah. Arianne knew L'anya as Tikka Swift, but she feigned ignorance as she didn't know who Sumari was, and assumed that if someone was looking for Tikka, it was bad. Sumari has since learned that Arianne is a member of the Light Crusaders. She doesn't blame Arianne for her deception, but she does believe that if the woman had been more up front with her from the start, there is a chance that it may have prevented L'anya's kidnapping.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">●</font> [[Glow N'amownoc]] : The subject of one of the first bounty contracts that she and her brother accepted. This contract was also their first significant failure. However, while they failed to capture this elusive target, their target -- unintentionally or not -- led them to stumble across an underground slave trafficking ring that they were subsequently able to put a stop to. The bounty for capturing the criminals worked out to be more than Glow's was worth. As there is no longer a bounty on this individual that has been posted by anyone that she would care to work for, Sumari's feelings towards her are neutral.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Gen Quickpaw]] : Sumari met Gen once or twice after her sister's abduction, but she didn't really get to know him after she worked with him while investigating certain aspects of her sister's abduction. After a night of heavy drinking and a night of equally heavy passion, she's discovered that she gets along fairly well the with rogue.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Valkhiss Lasher]] : He was the mage responsible for creating the portal that enabled L'kharja Nunh's men to abduct her sister, L'anya. Sumari and Pyha'to tracked him down with the help of one of Valkhiss's angry ex girlfriends. They sought to capture him and needed to take their quarry down quickly due to the elusive nature of their prey. As such, Pye convinced Sumari to take an untested gadget into the field. The device worked, but it worked too well. It overloaded Lasher's nervous system and wiped his long term memory. When he came to, he was a different person. Although she didn't trust him at first, her time spent guarding him as caused Sumari to realize that the man Valkhiss is now is not the one that he once was. She even feels a sort of attraction to him, both mentally and physically.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Appearance & Personality</div>===
:
The young red-haired mage has a bookish quality, and an air of naivety hanging about her. She is not often without a smile on her lips, and a certain look of awe shimmering in emerald green eyes. Years of spending most of her time reading books has left her physically lacking, but she has still managed to retain a slim figure from healthy living.

She is as friendly as she is naive. Ashlee tends to assume that everyone is a good person, and this trait often comes back to bite her. Don't mistake her innocence for stupidity, however; Ashlee is highly intelligent, and a student of both magic and science. She tends to treat most everything as an experiment of some sort or other, and enjoys testing her hypotheses in each given situation.

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

Ashlee lost her parents to the war with the Garlean Empire, several years ago. She was taken in by her grandfather, who raised her as he would his own daughter. Her grandfather was once a powerful black mage, but he retired from adventuring shortly after the death of Ashlee's parents. During the Calamity, he kept her locked up tight, his estate protected by layers of magical barriers. Even after the Calamity had ended, Ashlee was not allowed to leave. She was told to focus on her studies, which she obediently adhered to. With nothing to entertain her but mountains of books and the friends that she could summon for herself, she lived a fairly lonely life.

She longed for the adventure that she found in books. Playing in the mansion halls, she often pretended that she was raiding long forgotten tombs, or battling alongside powerful heroes as they turned aside the tide of evil. Her grandfather soon realized that he couldn't keep Ashlee locked up forever. Not only was it unfair to her, it wouldn't have been what her parents would have wanted for her. Besides, he reasoned – there was only so much magic that she could learn from books. Reluctantly, he lowered the barriers and let her go out into the world to explore.

Unknown to Ashlee, her grandfather arranged a bodyguard for her through one of his old adventurer contacts. A man named Scirin Windblade was to be her protector, though as part of his contract he was forbidden from letting Ashlee know his true purpose – he was to approach her as a friend, and simply maintain that facade. Fortunately, Ashlee was all about making new friends, and was too inexperienced with the way of the world to question anything.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Appearance & Personality</div>===
:
The young red-haired mage has a bookish quality, and an air of naivety hanging about her. She is not often without a smile on her lips, and a certain look of awe shimmering in emerald green eyes. Years of spending most of her time reading books has left her physically lacking, but she has still managed to retain a slim figure from healthy living.

She is as friendly as she is naive. Ashlee tends to assume that everyone is a good person, and this trait often comes back to bite her. Don't mistake her innocence for stupidity, however; Ashlee is highly intelligent, and a student of both magic and science. She tends to treat most everything as an experiment of some sort or other, and enjoys testing her hypotheses in each given situation.

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

Ashlee lost her parents to the war with the Garlean Empire, several years ago. She was taken in by her grandfather, who raised her as he would his own daughter. Her grandfather was once a powerful black mage, but he retired from adventuring shortly after the death of Ashlee's parents. During the Calamity, he kept her locked up tight, his estate protected by layers of magical barriers. Even after the Calamity had ended, Ashlee was not allowed to leave. She was told to focus on her studies, which she obediently adhered to. With nothing to entertain her but mountains of books and the friends that she could summon for herself, she lived a fairly lonely life.

She longed for the adventure that she found in books. Playing in the mansion halls, she often pretended that she was raiding long forgotten tombs, or battling alongside powerful heroes as they turned aside the tide of evil. Her grandfather soon realized that he couldn't keep Ashlee locked up forever. Not only was it unfair to her, it wouldn't have been what her parents would have wanted for her. Besides, he reasoned – there was only so much magic that she could learn from books. Reluctantly, he lowered the barriers and let her go out into the world to explore.

Unknown to Ashlee, her grandfather arranged a bodyguard for her through one of his old adventurer contacts. A man named Scirin Windblade was to be her protector, though as part of his contract he was forbidden from letting Ashlee know his true purpose – he was to approach her as a friend, and simply maintain that facade. Fortunately, Ashlee was all about making new friends, and was too inexperienced with the way of the world to question anything.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Appearance & Personality</div>===
:
Sometimes Ori looks a little too delicate to wear the armor or wield the weapons that she carries. Yet her physique is well toned from hours of training, and her short blonde hair drifts down to often partially conceal one pristine blue eye. She bears a healthy tan, the sign of one who spends a great deal of her time outdoors. Her features are fair, yet she often wears a neutral expression. Her gaze feels sullen and haunted. It isn't difficult to tell that this is someone still coping with the sins of her past.

While she might not be the friendliest or the most sociable of people, she has her social graces. She is never rude to people who do not deserve it; most of the times she is professional and polite. Ori is often soft spoken, a trait that some people misconstrue as shyness.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Biography</div>===
:
Orianna was first mate aboard a ship called the Crimson Cutter. During a raid on a merchant vessel, Ori crossed blades with a paladin who had booked passage aboard the ship. He was captured, beaten and locked in the brig and Ori was congratulated for her part in his apprehension. She wasn't sure why, but she felt guilty. The man had simply been in the wrong place at the wrong time.

She visited him occasionally, and he kept trying to convince her to see that what she and her fellow band of pirates were doing was wrong. Soon, the Captain decided the paladin had outlived his usefulness and ordered him executed. The Captain had seen how Ori had been visiting the paladin and how her visits had been affecting her, so he ordered her to carry out the sentence. She decided she couldn't carry out that order, and refused. The captain gave her several chances to obey. Finally, when she wouldn't do it, he raised his blade against her. She would be made an example.

The paladin flung himself into the path of the blade, taking the attack that was meant for her. Ori was stunned by his sacrifice, but managed to use the man's last dying action to make a daring escape over the side of the ship. She plunged into the ocean, and the captain and crew assumed she died in a watery grave. Ori eventually washed up on the shore near a village, and a family of peaceful fishermen took her in. Still coming to grips what had happened, despite the family's kindness, she shut them out and remained emotionally distant. One day, brigands came to raid the village. At first Ori stood by and did nothing. But then the brigands threatened the family that took her in, and she was finally spurred into action. She drew the blade that had washed up with her, and dispatched the raiders.

The village was grateful for her aid and offered her a home, to stay with them. At first she accepted and considered settling down into a more peaceful life. But some of the brigands survived, and they had friends. More came to the village and attacked. Ori realized that as long as she was there, the villagers wouldn't be safe. She left during the night and set out on her own, to wander and find her place in the world.

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

: ● While on the road, Ori encountered a group of bandits accosting and robbing a merchant caravan. Though outnumbered, she could not stand idly by. She gave them a chance to surrender and, when they did not, she attacked. Although skilled with the blade, numbers were weighed heavily against her. But as the bandits were beginning to get the upper hand, a young warrior by the name of Shin Lightbringer leapt into the fray. His efforts renewed her own vigor, and the two fought side by side. Unfortunately, before the final bandit fell, Shin was grievously wounded. Strapping the young man to her chocobo, Ori took him somewhere safe and nursed him back to health.

: ● Orianna recently accepted a junior officer posting as midshipman aboard the airship, the "Reckless Endeavor".

The merchant lowered his price and, afterwards as they were walking away, the two bonded over discussing various types of weaponry. During the discussion, Reis mentioned that they were looking for a missing member of their group, a man fitting Shin's description.

Orianna was first mate aboard a ship called the Crimson Cutter. During a raid on a merchant vessel, Ori crossed blades with a paladin who had booked passage aboard the ship. He was captured, beaten and locked in the brig and Ori was congratulated for her part in his apprehension. She wasn't sure why, but she felt guilty. The man had simply been in the wrong place at the wrong time.

She visited him occasionally, and he kept trying to convince her to see that what she and her fellow band of pirates were doing was wrong. Soon, the Captain decided the paladin had outlived his usefulness and ordered him executed. The Captain had seen how Ori had been visiting the paladin and how her visits had been affecting her, so he ordered her to carry out the sentence. She decided she couldn't carry out that order, and refused. The captain gave her several chances to obey. Finally, when she wouldn't do it, he raised his blade against her. She would be made an example.

The paladin flung himself into the path of the blade, taking the attack that was meant for her. Ori was stunned by his sacrifice, but managed to use the man's last dying action to make a daring escape over the side of the ship. She plunged into the ocean, and the captain and crew assumed she died in a watery grave. Ori eventually washed up on the shore near a village, and a family of peaceful fishermen took her in. Still coming to grips what had happened, despite the family's kindness, she shut them out and remained emotionally distant. One day, brigands came to raid the village. At first Ori stood by and did nothing. But then the brigands threatened the family that took her in, and she was finally spurred into action. She drew the blade that had washed up with her, and dispatched the raiders.

The village was grateful for her aid and offered her a home, to stay with them. At first she accepted and considered settling down into a more peaceful life. But some of the brigands survived, and they had friends. More came to the village and attacked. Ori realized that as long as she was there, the villagers wouldn't be safe. She left during the night and set out on her own, to wander and find her place in the world.

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

: ● While on the road, Ori encountered a group of bandits accosting and robbing a merchant caravan. Though outnumbered, she could not stand idly by. She gave them a chance to surrender and, when they did not, she attacked. Although skilled with the blade, numbers were weighed heavily against her. But as the bandits were beginning to get the upper hand, a young warrior by the name of Shin Lightbringer leapt into the fray. His efforts renewed her own vigor, and the two fought side by side. Unfortunately, before the final bandit fell, Shin was grievously wounded. Strapping the young man to her chocobo, Ori took him somewhere safe and nursed him back to health.

: ● Orianna recently accepted a junior officer posting as midshipman aboard the airship, the "Reckless Endeavor".

:
Sometimes Ori looks a little too delicate to wear the armor or wield the weapons that she carries. Yet her physique is well toned from hours of training, and her short blonde hair drifts down to often partially conceal one pristine blue eye. She bears a healthy tan, the sign of one who spends a great deal of her time outdoors. Her features are fair, yet she often wears a neutral expression. Her gaze feels sullen and haunted. It isn't difficult to tell that this is someone still coping with the sins of her past.

While she might not be the friendliest or the most sociable of people, she has her social graces. She is never rude to people who do not deserve it; most of the times she is professional and polite. Ori is often soft spoken, a trait that some people misconstrue as shyness.

She plunged into the ocean, and the captain and crew assumed she died in a watery grave. Ori eventually washed up on the shore near a village, and a family of peaceful fishermen took her in. Still coming to grips what had happened, despite the family's kindness, she shut them out and remained emotionally distant. One day, brigands came to raid the village. At first Ori stood by and did nothing. But then the brigands threatened the family that took her in, and she was finally spurred into action. She drew the blade that had washed up with her, and dispatched the raiders.

The village was grateful for her aid and offered her a home, to stay with them. At first she accepted and considered settling down into a more peaceful life. But some of the brigands survived, and they had friends. More came to the village and attacked. Ori realized that as long as she was there, the villagers wouldn't be safe. She left during the night and set out on her own, to wander and find her place in the world.

She gave them a chance to surrender and, when they did not, she attacked. Although skilled with the blade, numbers were weighed heavily against her. But as the bandits were beginning to get the upper hand, a young warrior by the name of Shin Lightbringer leapt into the fray. His efforts renewed her own vigor, and the two fought side by side. Unfortunately, before the final bandit fell, Shin was grievously wounded. Strapping the young man to her chocobo, Ori took him somewhere safe and nursed him back to health.

:
Sometimes Ori looks a little too delicate to wear the armor or wield the weapons that she carries. Yet her physique is well toned from hours of training, and her short blonde hair drifts down to often partially conceal one pristine blue eye. She bears a healthy tan, the sign of one who spends a great deal of her time outdoors. Her features are fair, yet she often wears a neutral expression. Her gaze feels sullen and haunted. It isn't difficult to tell that this is someone still coping with the sins of her past.

While she might not be the friendliest or the most sociable of people, she has her social graces. She is never rude to people who do not deserve it; most of the times she is professional and polite. Ori is often soft spoken, a trait that some people misconstrue as shyness.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Biography</div>===
:
Orianna was first mate aboard a ship called the Crimson Cutter. During a raid on a merchant vessel, Ori crossed blades with a paladin who had booked passage aboard the ship. He was captured, beaten and locked in the brig and Ori was congratulated for her part in his apprehension. She wasn't sure why, but she felt guilty. The man had simply been in the wrong place at the wrong time.

She visited him occasionally, and he kept trying to convince her to see that what she and her fellow band of pirates were doing was wrong. Soon, the Captain decided the paladin had outlived his usefulness and ordered him executed. The Captain had seen how Ori had been visiting the paladin and how her visits had been affecting her, so he ordered her to carry out the sentence. She decided she couldn't carry out that order, and refused. The captain gave her several chances to obey. Finally, when she wouldn't do it, he raised his blade against her. She would be made an example.

The paladin flung himself into the path of the blade, taking the attack that was meant for her. Ori was stunned by his sacrifice, but managed to use the man's last dying action to make a daring escape over the side of the ship. She plunged into the ocean, and the captain and crew assumed she died in a watery grave. Ori eventually washed up on the shore near a village, and a family of peaceful fishermen took her in.

:
Sometimes Ori looks a little too delicate to wear the armor or wield the weapons that she carries. Yet her physique is well toned from hours of training, and her short blonde hair drifts down to often partially conceal one pristine blue eye. She bears a healthy tan, the sign of one who spends a great deal of her time outdoors. Her features are fair, yet she often wears a neutral expression. Her gaze feels sullen and haunted. It isn't difficult to tell that this is someone still coping with the sins of her past.

While she might not be the friendliest or the most sociable of people, she has her social graces. She is never rude to people who do not deserve it; most of the times she is professional and polite. Ori is often soft spoken, a trait that some people misconstrue as shyness.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Biography</div>===
:
Orianne was first mate aboard a ship called the Crimson Cutter. During a raid on a merchant vessel, Ori crossed blades with a paladin who had booked passage aboard the ship. He was captured, beaten and locked in the brig and Ori was congratulated for her part in his apprehension. She wasn't sure why, but she felt guilty. The man had simply been in the wrong place at the wrong time.

She visited him occasionally, and he kept trying to convince her to see that what she and her fellow band of pirates were doing was wrong. Soon, the Captain decided the paladin had outlived his usefulness and ordered him executed. The Captain had seen how Ori had been visiting the paladin and how her visits had been affecting her, so he ordered her to carry out the sentence. She decided she couldn't carry out that order, and refused. The captain gave her several chances to obey. Finally, when she wouldn't do it, he raised his blade against her. She would be made an example.

The paladin flung himself into the path of the blade, taking the attack that was meant for her. Ori was stunned by his sacrifice, but managed to use the man's last dying action to make a daring escape over the side of the ship. She plunged into the ocean, and the captain and crew assumed she died in a watery grave. Ori eventually washed up on the shore near a village, and a family of peaceful fishermen took her in. Still coming to grips what had happened, despite the family's kindness, she shut them out and remained emotionally distant. One day, brigands came to raid the village. At first Ori stood by and did nothing. But then the brigands threatened the family that took her in, and she was finally spurred into action. She drew the blade that had washed up with her, and dispatched the raiders.

The village was grateful for her aid and offered her a home, to stay with them. At first she accepted and considered settling down into a more peaceful life. But some of the brigands survived, and they had friends. More came to the village and attacked. Ori realized that as long as she was there, the villagers wouldn't be safe. She left during the night and set out on her own, to wander and find her place in the world.

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

: ● While on the road, Ori encountered a group of bandits accosting and robbing a merchant caravan. Though outnumbered, she could not stand idly by. She gave them a chance to surrender and, when they did not, she attacked. Although skilled with the blade, numbers were weighed heavily against her. But as the bandits were beginning to get the upper hand, a young warrior by the name of Shin Lightbringer leapt into the fray. His efforts renewed her own vigor, and the two fought side by side. Unfortunately, before the final bandit fell, Shin was grievously wounded. Strapping the young man to her chocobo, Ori took him somewhere safe and nursed him back to health.

The merchant lowered his price and, afterwards as they were walking away, the two bonded over discussing various types of weaponry. During the discussion, Reis mentioned that they were looking for a missing member of their group, a man fitting Shin's description.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Appearance & Personality</div>===
:
Pyha'to is a young man who has seen more than someone his age should have. Though he maintains a normally calm and easy-going demeanor, it isn't hard to tell that his gaze his haunted by memories of his past. Neither tall nor short, he stands as an average example of his species, and his athletic build hints at someone who spends much of his time on the practice field. He walks with precision and confidence, though without any sign of arrogance.

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

Pyha'to and his sister, Sumari, were both born and raised in the secret underground enclave of the Dusk Dancers. The Dusk Dancers was a group of rogues that operated independently of any of the larger thieves guilds based out of the three major Eorzean city-states. Their existence was tolerated due to their altruistic nature – their mission was to help anyone who came to them with problems which were too complicated to be handled by members of any local authorities.

Their mother and father had an open relationship with each other. When Pyha'to and Sumari were just babies, they were introduced to their half-sister, L'anya Kharja, who was the result of their father falling for a Seeker woman who was part of a more traditional Seeker tribe. L'tarra Khoran had to keep her visits to their group a secret, and her daughter was named in a traditional Seeker fashion, as she had to maintain the ruse that the baby's father was L'kharja Nunh, a man with influence within her tribe. Though visits were less than frequent, Pyha'to and Sumari accepted L'anya as their sibling and, as they grew older, the three played together whenever L'tarra brought little L'anya to visit.

The caverns their group inhabited were located within the Shroud. They were an expansive network of tunnels, and were crisscrossed with underground streams and waterfalls. For two young children, these proved irresistible to explore. Pyha'to and Sumari (along with any of the other Dusk Dancer children who wished to tag along, or L'anya if she was currently visiting) had their own series of adventures within those tunnels – they held off hordes of monsters, saved countless princesses (and princes, at Sumari's insistence), their adventure limited only by the scope of their imaginations.

When he was old enough, Pyha'to began learning skills which would be useful to the group. He spent much time in the outdoors with the group's hunters and trackers. He loved the outdoors, loved the wilderness. He learned how to read signs from sets of tracks, how to stalk prey, and how to set up useful traps. Once he was big enough to wield a weapon, he found himself gravitating towards the longspear as his weapon of choice, though he also received training in a number of different weapons, and was also trained in a variety of unarmed fighting techniques.

L'anya often watched him train, though her mother was reluctant to let her join in. Pyha'to argued that she should learn how to defend herself. With L'tarra watching, he showed L'anya the basics. He was only a novice himself, but L'tarra quickly realized how valuable such instruction was. She asked if Pyha'to could convince his father to teach her daughter as well. Hanji'a had been reluctant to provide training, since he didn't want to endanger L'anya if L'kharja Nunh discovered her skills and found out where she had learned them. However, in the end Pyha'to convinced his father that L'anya would only be safer if she knew how to fight, and soon L'anya started practicing with the group's young trainees whenever she came to visit.

In the end, L'kharja Nunh eventually did discover the true origins of his “daughter”. While L'anya mostly appeared to be a Seeker, there were hints at her half-breed heritage. L'kharja had spies watching L'tarra and despite her caution, her meetings with the Dusk Dancers were discovered. L'kharja was out for revenge. For years he had been made to look like a fool. He hired a band of assassins and, accompanying them to the Dusk Dancer enclave, he began murdering any that he believed were implicit in this deception. They swept through the caverns, murdering men and women alike, slaughtering children.

Hanji'a and Pyha were each slain by the vindictive nunh, though not before urging their children to flee. They stole through the caverns, hounded by L'kharja and his assassins. Just before they reached the surface, it became obvious that they were going to be overtaken. Pyha'to urged Sumari and L'anya onwards, then turned to buy them some time.

Sumari turned to stay but, when she saw L'anya do the same, she was left with little choice but to flee with her younger sister. Pyha'to fought bravely and, while he possessed a fierce warrior spirit, he was still just a novice and no match for a band of trained assassins. Still, he was able to occupy them long enough while his sisters slipped away.

During the fight, Pyha'to was knocked off a rickety wooden bridge that spanned a gap in the canyon. He was knocked unconscious and left for dead by the assassins. When he finally awoke, he was being cared for by Sumari. It was then that she told him the sad truth – though she'd done her best to keep L'anya safe, they had gotten separated in the forest. By the time she'd managed to evade her own pursuers and had gone back to search for her sister, she came across L'kharja Nunh. He was bleeding, mortally wounded. When she had confronted him, he held up his bloody weapon and sneered. L'anya was dead. Sumari was about to attack, to end the man's life, when she heard the assassins closing in once again. She had no choice but to turn and flee. At least L'kharja was in no condition to go after her.

Sumari helped Pyha'to out of the chasm. While Pyha'to wanted to go back and bury the bodies, Sumari reasoned that they couldn't return so soon after the attack – it would surely be under some sort of watch. The pair left their home behind and traveled to the nearby city-state of Gridania.

After he had recovered, Pyha'to became obsessed with revenge. He strove constantly to better himself, working on his skills and honing his abilities. To earn enough coin to get by, both he and his sister became bounty hunters – tracking down escaped criminals and wanted targets, and returning them to whomever was funding the contract. This line of work enabled him to create a network of informants, which he has steadily been using to gather information on L'kharja Nunh and his allies.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Developments</div>===
:
: ● Has recently learned through his contacts that his half-sister, L'anya, may still be alive.

: ● Pyha'to and his sister followed the movements of L'kharja's men, and recently discovered them converging on an area in Mist. Pyha'to found L'anya there but, when he confronted her, she fled -- likely assuming that he was working with some form of local law enforcement. He tailed her to the company headquarters of the Light Crusaders, and arrived just in time for L'kharja's men to ambush L'anya. Pyha'to and several of the Light Crusader members rushed to her aid, but were unable to prevent them from abducting her.

The bounty for capturing the criminals worked out to be more than Glow's was worth.

To this end, Pye convinced Sumari to use an untested device that she had created, to aid in his capture. The device worked, but arguably too well. It overloaded Valkhiss's central nervous system, rendered him unconscious, but then wiped his long term memories. When he awoke, he had no memory of who he was, and his interrogation yielded nothing that could help them in finding L'anya. Pye doesn't trust Lasher, not as far as he can throw the man. But his sister has convinced him that they need him alive. For the time being, Pye has left his care in Sumari's hands, because he knows that if he gets too close, bad things will happen.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Appearance & Personality</div>===
:
Sumari is a bright young woman with a positive outlook on life despite what she has experienced in the past. Her silver hair is kept in dreads, and her blue eyes shine with an inner light of intelligence. She is petite in build and, while not out of shape by any means, she has the physical build of someone who lets magic (or her brother) handle most of the heavy lifting. She loves intelligent conversation, but has no patience for boring people. She has a wild imagination, and often gets lost in her own stories and fabrications.

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

Sumari and her brother, Pyha'to, were both born and raised in the secret underground enclave of the Dusk Dancers. The Dusk Dancers was a group of rogues that operated independently of any of the larger thieves guilds based out of the three major Eorzean city-states. Their existence was tolerated due to their altruistic nature – their mission was to help anyone who came to them with problems which were too complicated to be handled by members of any local authorities.

Their mother and father had an open relationship with each other. When Sumari and Pyha'to were just babies, they were introduced to their half-sister, L'anya Kharja, who was the result of their father falling for a Seeker woman who was part of a more traditional Seeker tribe. L'tarra Khoran had to keep her visits to their group a secret, and her daughter was named in a traditional Seeker fashion, as she had to maintain the ruse that the baby's father was L'kharja Nunh, a man with influence within her tribe. Though visits were less than frequent, Sumari and Pyha'to accepted L'anya as their sibling and, as they grew older, the three played together whenever L'tarra brought little L'anya to visit.

Magical talent was seemingly absent in their family's bloodline on both sides of the family. Pyha'to and L'anya likewise showed no sign of mystical affinity, and everyone was certain that all three children would continue the family legacy. However, Sumari manifested her gifts at an early age, much to the surprise of everyone. Not only did she have a magical gift, but she had quite a strong innate talent. She was always accidentally setting something on fire, much to the delight of her half-sister, L'anya.

While her brother honed his martial skills on the practice fields, Sumari was instead inducted into the small cloister of mages that the Dusk Dancers kept in their enclave. She soon learned to direct and shape her magical energies, and discovered that she had a special affinity for destruction. Sumari also discovered that she enjoyed learning how things worked. In her spare time she often worked with the Dusk Dancer Engineering Corps, and helped to take things apart and put them back together again.

But her happy life within the enclave was soon to change. L'kharja Nunh soon discovered that L'tarra had been deceiving him about L'anya's origins. When he learned about the Dusk Dancers, and that L'anya's true father was one of their lieutenants, he couldn't let the insult stand. Accompanied by a group of assassins, he swept through the enclave, bringing murder and destruction in his wake.
Hanji'a and Pyha fought to keep their children safe, but they were each slain by L'kharja. Sumari and Pyha'to managed to escape, with L'anya in tow, but with the assassins right on their heels. As they neared the surface and it was clear that they were about to be overtaken, Pyha'to turned and stood fast, ready to buy Sumari and L'anya time to escape. Sumari refused to abandon her twin at first, but when she saw that L'anya wouldn't flee without her, she was left with no choice but to leave.

They fled into the forest, but Pyha'to's sacrifice hadn't given them much breathing room. They could hear the assassins closing in. The ground gave way beneath L'anya's feet and she tumbled down a steep embankment. Sumari couldn't catch her in time, and knew that if she went after her, they would both be overtaken. She stopped long enough to spot the assassins, sent a torrent of flame towards them, then took off in another direction in the hopes of leading them away from her half-sister.

The gambit worked and the assassins followed her through the forest. After an extended game of cat and mouse, she finally managed to evade her pursuers. She returned to search for L'anya but, as she closed in on where she'd last spotted her, she came across the mortally wounded form of L'kharja Nunh making his way through the forest. She confronted him, and he presented her with his bloody weapon, told her that he'd just killed her sister. Rage built up inside her and she was about to incinerate the vindictive nunh, when she heard his men approaching. Left with little choice, she fled back into the forest.
After some time had passed, she stealthily returned to the caves to search for survivors. Her parents were dead, as was everyone she had ever known. Sumari was about to give in to despair when, as she crossed a bridge leading towards the cavern's exit, she heard the muffled sounds of labored breathing coming from below. Sumari climbed down into the chasm beneath the bridge, and she discovered that Pyha'to was severely wounded, but still alive.

She managed to rig up a harness and help Pyha'to out of the chasm. He suggested that they return to bury the bodies, but Sumari reasoned that L'kharja likely had men stationed to watch the enclave, and there was no way that they could remove that many bodies without drawing attention to themselves. They fled to the city-state of Gridania, and she looked after her twin while he recovered from his wounds.
Once he was well again, they decided they needed a plan. They had very little coin to their name, which meant they needed to figure out a way to earn more. Sumari spotted a notice on a nearby board which listed escaped criminals in the area. With her brother's tracking skills and martial prowess and her own mystical talent, she reasoned that it would be an easy thing to track some of them down.
They became bounty hunters, a career which wound up making them some useful contacts. Although their past was behind them, Sumari and Pyha'to vowed to find L'kharja Nunh and bring him to justice – one way or the other.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Pyha'to Polaali]] : Sumari's twin brother. She shares a deep connection with him, and he is entirely too protective of her. As her last living family member (that she is aware of), the feeling is definitely mutual.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Tikka Swift]] : Known to her as L'anya, Sumari and her brother have recently discovered that she is alive. However, before they were able to reunite with their half-sister, L'anya was abducted by L'kharja Nunh's men. Sumari and her brother are now working alongside L'anya's various friends to try and get her back.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Vanilla Wayfarer]] : Sumari met Vanilla shortly after L'anya's abduction. L'anya was one of Vanilla's best friends and the abduction hit her particularly hard, and she told Sumari that she felt weak and helpless. Sumari could identify with Vanilla's feelings, as she had gone through the same thing when she believed that L'kharja Nunh murdered her sister. She now feels a certain sense of responsibility towards the girl.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Arianne Soren]] : While looking for L'anya, Sumari showed Arianne a picture of her while at the Quicksand in Ul'dah. Arianne knew L'anya as Tikka Swift, but she feigned ignorance as she didn't know who Sumari was, and assumed that if someone was looking for Tikka, it was bad. Sumari has since learned that Arianne is a member of the Light Crusaders. She doesn't blame Arianne for her deception, but she does believe that if the woman had been more up front with her from the start, there is a chance that it may have prevented L'anya's kidnapping.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">●</font> [[Glow N'amownoc]] : The subject of one of the first bounty contracts that she and her brother accepted. This contract was also their first significant failure. However, while they failed to capture this elusive target, their target -- unintentionally or not -- led them to stumble across an underground slave trafficking ring that they were subsequently able to put a stop to. The bounty for capturing the criminals worked out to be more than Glow's was worth. As there is no longer a bounty on this individual that has been posted by anyone that she would care to work for, Sumari's feelings towards her are neutral.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Gen Quickpaw]] : Sumari met Gen once or twice after her sister's abduction, but she didn't really get to know him after she worked with him while investigating certain aspects of her sister's abduction. After a night of heavy drinking and a night of equally heavy passion, she's discovered that she gets along fairly well the with rogue.

: <font style="color:#000000;" size="3">♥</font> [[Valkhiss Lasher]] : He was the mage responsible for creating the portal that enabled L'kharja Nunh's men to abduct her sister, L'anya. Sumari and Pyha'to tracked him down with the help of one of Valkhiss's angry ex girlfriends. They sought to capture him and needed to take their quarry down quickly due to the elusive nature of their prey. As such, Pye convinced Sumari to take an untested gadget into the field. The device worked, but it worked too well. It overloaded Lasher's nervous system and wiped his long term memory. When he came to, he was a different person. Although she didn't trust him at first, her time spent guarding him as caused Sumari to realize that the man Valkhiss is now is not the one that he once was. She even feels a sort of attraction to him, both mentally and physically.
