.

Yenh appears to be aloof and distant, as her appearance reflects on the entirety of herself. Her skin tone is fair and free of the slightest blemishes, suggesting a sheltered upbringing. Her eyebrows are tame, giving her expression an eternal sense of curiosity. Her eyes are contemplative and alert, always appearing calm and unmoved despite their striking, bright spring and cerulean glow; they possess a captivating effect as unsuspecting bystanders tend to stumble into her unique pools before hastily hurrying themselves away. Her hair however projects a surprising contrast to the comportment expected of her; thick, angled bangs that seem to bounce off the cheeks and wild layers that guard her nape. It holds a light blonde hue, with a sheen that parallels the Thanalan sun.

.

Yenh is pensive, phlegmatic, and often withdrawn. Her demeanor is usually quieted, affecting her appearance greatly, and she can be described as hard to approach. Having been raised in a highly reclusive environment, Yenh lacks the social tact that is commonly expected of others; as a result, she frequently leaves conversations discontinued or refuses to speak unless spoken to first. Yenh tends to come off as hostile and uncooperative, especially to strangers; it also doesn't help that she is cruelly straight-forward. Being a calculative person, she doesn't hesitate to exploit the notion that she may appear cute in order to elicit reactions or get her way. Furthermore, although she admires fair-play, Yenh wouldn't hesitate to bend any rules if she could gain an edge in some situations.

Beneath her cold guise however reveals a drastically different entity. Yenh is actually well-spoken and mature, genuinely kind and knowledgeable; at times she can also be a spectacularly impulsive character. Possessing an affinity for learning, knowledge, and new experiences, Yenh quickly becomes absorbed in the company of books and entertainment no matter how mundane, suggesting that she's easily amazed or impressed. Secretly a needy creature, Yenh is prone to feeling lonely and holds an unconscious desire for regular affirmation or companionship. Although she's normally aloof and cautious around strangers, among good friends Yenh is open, easily trusting, and gullible--a very exploitable detail. While slow to warm up, Yenh is eventually willing to dispel her defenses and past pretenses in order to become vulnerable with another.

L I K E S ■ Miqo'te: Yenh loves Miqo'te, especially Keepers of the Moon. There was a time in her life where she regarded herself as a Miqo'te, and although she knows she isn't one, a Lalafell can dream. ■ Fishing: Started simply as a hobby to pass the time, fishing has done a lot for Yenh--especially keeping food in her stomach. Occasionally, she pursues ichthyological research when she has more time than she knows what to do with. ■ Coeurl Kitten: Yenh loves the coeurl kitten she's rescued while completing Scions assignments in Western La Noscea... though she fears the day it outgrows her in size. Until then, she's given her the name Tenori, a Far East word meaning "palmtop." ■ Faeries: After discovering the secrets of the Nymian civilization and their Scholars, Yenh has developed a great deal of affection towards the faeries she was bestowed, Shanpan (Eos) and Chapu (Selene). Though they do not speak to her, she cherishes the two as close companions.	D I S L I K E S ■ The Garlean Empire: As an invader of Eorzea, Yenh holds great contempt for the Garlean Empire. Wherever the empire's vanguards travel, they imprint a trail of destruction and desecration onto the beautiful land and its inhabitants. ■ Goblins: Similar to her hatred for the Garlean Empire, Yenh dislikes the nomadic Goblins for recklessly pilfering and polluting the lands they settle in. She's steadily come to convalesce her relationship with goblins from the time she's spent in Idyllshire though. ■ Alcohol: Yenh has a great dislike for alcohol and bitter drinks in general. Alcohol does awful things to Lalafells as they're not normally distilled with the tiny race in mind, and especially Yenh who becomes intoxicated just from wafting a tankard of weak Gridanian ale. ■ Egotistic individuals: Yenh does not get along well with prominent individuals that either boast great egos or easily draw crowds of people. As a self-kept person, Yenh prefers to associate with humble and quieter folk.	Q U I R K S ■ Grumbling: When something dissatisfying occurs, Yenh has a habit of grumbling to herself. This is not a quirk that she's aware of herself. ■ Poor Liar: When Yenh feels stressed or has to lie to a friend, she tends to quickly divert her eyes to the side and mumbles from the corner of her mouth. ■ Speech Quirk: Yenh has an inclination for ending her sentences with "... I suppose."
S T R E N G T H S ■ Thaumaturgy & Black Magicks: Yenh has a frightening capacity for destructive magicks, and seems to unconsciously slip into a cruel trance when invoking it. Often possessing a genuine desire to destroy her enemies, this rare disposition of hers is that of a natural-born killer with no remorse for life. After an unfortunate accident however, Yenh has decided to never wield destructive magicks again. ■ Curative Magicks & Technicks: On the other hand, Yenh also has a great talent for curative methods. Although she's well-learned in the arts of Nymian healing technicks and Padjali conjury, Yenh never calls upon conjury for unknown reasons.	W E A K N E S S E S ■ Physical Frailty: As a Lalafell, Yenh naturally has a physical disadvantage compared to the other races. She becomes fatigued very easily and can drag any group down if dungeoneering for extended periods of time. Despite Plainsfolk being known for their agility, Yenh's unique upbringing has dulled her physical abilities, a past circumstance which she condemns today. ■ Disciple of War ineptitude: Partly due to her frailty, Yenh is excessively inept with Disciple of War technicks; she can hardly wield a sword let alone guide her small fists to enemies. This is a matter of great distress for her.	M O T I V A T I O N S ■ Truth Seeker: Yenh has an intense ambition towards learning and knowledge-seeking. Growing up amongst the Moui, Yenh has always been denied certain books and travel with the intention of guarding her from her cruel past. After stumbling upon the harsh truth behind the circumstances of her birth however, instead of despairing, Yenh has used this knowledge as the driving impetus for learning arcanima and becoming an Arcanist; in order to be in a position of study. ■ Freebird: A strong motivation for Yenh is individualist as she simply values her own freedoms. As a person that aligns with true neutrality, Yenh tries to avoid being bound to an authority - being led on by the tutelage of anarchy, or the zeal of an idealist - unless it benefits her. If possible, Yenh would prefer to be an adventurer forever.

Background — Nonosu Nosu

.

Born in the latter Sixth Astral Era, a runt of a Lalafell girl was delivered in the Black Shroud by Moui healers to the Nosu tribe as 《Nonosu Nosu》. Although the infant was weak and likely unfit to take up arms in the future, the event was celebrated as a momentous miracle for the Nosu. Bearing a strong ancestral culture unlike many others living in Aldenard at the time, the revered elders of both the Moui clan and Nosu tribe sensed a strong spiritual providence emanating from the infant, a divine predestination that the newborn will be adept at the magickal arts. However, the Nosu bloodline has been traditionally weak when it came to magicks and there would be no master for Nonosu. Finally arriving to a painful decision, the magick-inept Nosu sought aid from the aether-blessed Moui to raise Nonosu in their stead to which they agreed to. As fate would have it, after parting ways with the Moui tribe, a great calamity befell the Nosu.

Prologue — The Nosu

.

Originally a massive and meek Plainsfolk tribe with a long-spanned history on the eastern shores of Vylbrand, the recently heightened threat of plundering pirates and hostile creatures revealed by the low tide of the Merlthor Strait compelled the tribe to flee to the mainland. Arriving in great migratory waves upon foreign shores, the Nosu soon realized the par inhospitable conditions of Aldenard and forced themselves to take up arms in order to better their survival. Becoming a nomadic tribe, their intinerant activities allowed them to come into contact with the myriad of clans and tribes of various races vying for the same resources. Although these contacts occasionally resulted in bloodshed, the innumerable amount of Nosu fighters often allowed them to emerge victorious in these conflicts, granting them a spurious reputation and reverence for their martial might. But with conflict also comes peace.

With their travels heading east, the Nosu became particularly fixated with the Black Shroud, a massive forest region surrounding Gridania. However, for their greed and ignorance they paid dearly; as outsiders that foraged whatever they could find, the "woodwrath" of the Twelveswood elementals came upon the tribe harshly in the form of natural disasters and destructive inimical encounters. It wasn't until the Nosu stumbled upon (and eagerly befriended) the Moui, a peaceful Keeper of the Moon clan dedicated to the Twelveswood's preservation, that the forest would relent its attacks. Already holding interests in the bountiful resources of the Black Shroud and grateful to the clan's discipline in curative conjury, the Moui and Nosu met under the watchful gaze of the Wood Wailers and established a non-aggression pact, an unlikely union between Miqo'te and Lalafell for their mutual benefit. For nearly three decades, the two factions would end up frequently communing for both trading and healing.

However, the great martial existence of the Nosu tribe would rouse the vengeance of the various tribes they've defeated over the years. After leaving the Shroud's sanctity with uplifted spirits, the Nosu were ambushed by a coalition force comprised of six tribes which vastly outnumbered even the massive militant force of the Nosu. Though defeat was nigh but guaranteed, the warriors of the tribe mustered every ounce of their strength and bravely fought at their prime despite the impossible situation presented before them; the tribe itself simultaneously made an effort to preserve their bloodline by sending their civilians in every corner of the realm. On that single day twenty years ago, the Nosu tribe ceased to exist; their able-bodied members killed in action and its citizens dispersed across Eorzea. Although such a callous atrocity occurred along central White Maiden, an area which every State holds jurisdiction in, the barbarous event was stifled as yet another regular conflict between tribes for the sake of maintaining public order in the wake of steadier invasions by the Garlean Empire. But the Moui do not forget.

Background (cont.) >ROUGH< — Yenh Moui

.

NEEDS REFINEMENT -> Knowing the fate of the Nosu tribe, the Moui took it upon themselves to permanently adopt Yenh. Raising a Lalafell in a KotM setting was difficult though, so the clan made it a rule to pretend that Nonosu was a Keeper Miqo'te to prevent her from feeling unwelcome or worrying; they also renamed her to Yenh Moui. Growing up, Yenh did repeatedly feel a lot of unrest however. As she grew up alongside other KotM children, she increasingly became more insecure as they gradually grew much taller than her and their Miqo'te features more pronounced.

<NEEDS MORE HERE> <CHILDHOOD & CONJURY TRAINING>

The "providence" that the adults of the clan were so interested in was more of a curse than a blessing to Yenh. Because she was just a Lalafell, her body couldn't handle the aether that used her as a conduit. It would always explode outwards and could produce devastating results depending on what element the aether was attuned to. There was also the odd side-effect of feeling the pain of whoever she healed using conjury. Because of all that, the clan forbade her from using conjury when she turned 10 because it affected her health too much as well. Losing her purpose in a clan of conjurers, she began to stay at home more with her mother as the rest of the clan would eventually treat her more distantly besides the children. Already knowing she was different than the other Keepers though, Yenh developed a major complex about herself and started to form an unapproachable shell around her.

For the next 4 years, Yenh obediently did whatever she was asked to do: menial tasks around the enclosure or otherwise. Though a normal child wouldn't typically worry about expectations, as someone that once had great things expected of her, she kind of just drifted around. She didn't understand why as well, but she was not allowed access to certain places in the camp that contained knowledge of the world outside the forest. It wasn't until the Calamity hit when she was 14, an event that really shook the Twelveswood and left Yenh dazed and frightened about what was going on, that destiny really spun for her. When the rumbling finally stopped and the forest, that was normally bustling with activity, lay silent, a Woodwailer carrying a missive urgently requested the Moui's immediate aid in healing the casualties from the Battle of Carteneau arrived at their doorstep.

Specifically forbidding Yenh from going, she was instructed to stay at the camp with her mother. Being the curious Lalafell she is however, she disobeys the command out of curiosity of what emergency would require the presence of the entire clan. Being itty bitty, she manages to conceal herself among the light luggage of the caravan, but is discovered half-way through to Gridania. Unable to spare any more time to bring her back, the Moui reluctantly brings her along, praying that Yenh doesn't discover more than she is supposed to. When they arrive however, their prayers are not met. Although Lalafell are rare among the Twin Adders, Dunesfolk comprise a decent chunk of the Immortal Flames, and Plainsfolk fill up the bulk of the Maelstrom's ranks; surprisingly, all three Grand Companies manage to slip away to Gridania.

Yenh was immediately reaffirmed about the suspicions she held for herself. It was obvious all along: She wasn't simply different as a Keeper of the Moon, but she wasn't a Keeper at all. The clan, witnessing Yenh's shocking revelation commanded her to stay on the caravan, but she runs away; no one pursues her. Among both lightly injured and fatally wounded in the Maelstrom camp, she hesitantly takes a small wand out of a hidden pocket in her robes and wields it once more. Seeing the number of casualties that haven't been tended to yet, she decides to at least try to numb the pain of those suffering the most. Drifting in and out of consciousness from the acute pains she was experiencing herself as a result of her conjury, she managed to identify herself as a Plainsfolk by comparing her features to the Lalafells around her. She would eventually collapse from the crippling pain, but held an unfamous feat for stabilizing the conditions of a few critical patients that day. With their duty complete, the Moui and Yenh return to their camp where she lay in a coma for a full week.

With the Twelveswood declared by the Elder Seedseer to be seriously damaged now, the magick reserves of the Moui tribe were severely weakened, especially after the strenuous emergency treatments in Gridania. With the rest of the clan unable to treat Yenh, the only member that stayed behind, her foster mother, jumped at the opportunity to heal her daughter. After a full week of being in a coma, Yenh would eventually recover, though her mother and the rest of the clan were still drained. Having fully relied on absorbing aether from the Twelveswood, the Moui tribe would eventually fall from grace as a reputed clan. On top of that, Yenh was incredibly distrustful now of the Moui tribe. Making a full recovery, she demanded a full explanation from the elders of the tribe; Yenh has never been witnessed raising her voice so much before. Although the elders initially dodged her questions, they eventually relented and told Yenh great stories about the Nosu tribe and the circumstances behind her birth.

Not so much in disbelief as she expected, Yenh stormed out furiously and returned to her mother, demanding more answers from her even though she was on a sickbed. Unable to fully get a grasp of why her own /foster/ mother would lie to her of all people. Even though her previous interactions with her mother were kind and almost sisterly, she was now cold and indifferent. Yenh remains aloof and bitter throughout the years.

Without anymore reason to restrict knowledge from Yenh, she was allowed to do as she pleased. Already holding a natural affinity towards learning and knowledge-gathering in order to satisfy her curiosity, Yenh found contentment in traveling across the Twelveswood to read lengthy books in solitude or listen to mundane entertainment by travelling bards. At the age of 16, Yenh discovered a tome regarding the practices of thaumaturgy and learned quickly. It wasn't until she decided to practice that she realized her mistake. Upon invoking fire-aspected aether to gather into her palm, it suddenly swelled to an unstable size and burst violently, nearly burning down the entire village and leaving a child with, thankfully, non-severe and treatable burns. After that incident, Yenh stifled her curiosities in the other disciplines, realizing that her aether control was drastically worse than it was two years ago and would continue to get worse.

NEEDS REFINEMENT -> So years past and Yenh remains idle. She would eventually stumble upon arcanima and be surprised to discover that the techniques and magickal practices of arcanima doesn't commune with natural aether, but instead unaspected aether. With this in mind, Yenh believes she can actually control these techniques.
