'''Smallstax''' is a young goblin (woe beget anyone who suggests otherwise) who was welcomed into the Idyllshire gobbieflock not long after being found unconscious on the shores of the Thaliak River. They were given the name "Smallstax" by the goblins, although every one of them will swear up and down the name has nothing to do with their diminutive stature.

The daughter of a Roegadyn adventurer and a Miqo'te hunter, Mara grew up at Camp Bronze Lake before setting off on her own with her faithful carbuncle in tow. Her happy-go-lucky attitude hides beneath it a quiet anger that manifests itself in wild magic, and her so-far fruitless search for her runaway mother has only served to fuel the flames of her ire.

Her rather Hyuran name derives from the fact that the leader of the first party of adventurers she traveled with couldn't remember her "weird cat name," and so started calling her Mara, after his own little sister.
 
 
 
==History==
 
Mara Mercer (née O'qoia Shurza) was born and raised in Camp Bronze Lake, where her father, O'Shurza Tia, made a living selling the skins of local creatures he'd hunted. Her mother, a Roegadyn adventurer of some renown, enjoyed an on-again-off-again relationship with O'shurza whenever she visited the camp. Her last visit came in the final weeks of her pregnancy with Mara--her arrival was a surprise, the announcement of her pregnancy even more so, although her sudden departure soon after the birth of her daughter was the most surprising of all.
 
 
 
The phrase "it takes a village to raise a child" had never been more true for anyone than the inhabitants of Camp Bronze Lake as Mara terrorized the small settlement in her early years. She was constantly underfoot, running small errands, playing pranks, and begging adventurers for stories of a Roegadyn woman whose name she didn't yet know. As she grew, she began making herself useful around the camp, using her larger-than-the-average-miqo'te build to help merchants carry their stock--she ''tried'' helping her father hunt, but proved woefully unskilled with both bow and sword. A gift of an old tome from a shopkeeper she often worked with, however, helped her discover her innate skill with magic, and soon a small, emerald carbuncle became quite a common sight following on Mara's heels.
 
 
 
Eventually, the wanderlust that had been growing in Mara for years erupted into a desire to follow in her mother's footsteps. She left the camp she'd known all her life and headed to Limsa Lominsa in hopes of becoming a proper adventurer--and, she secretly hoped, of some day meeting the mother that had abandoned her.
 
 
 
 
==Personality==
 
==Personality==
To strangers and friends alike, Mara puts on a cheerful, go-getter attitude. While this attitude is genuine, it also helps her hide her anger and frustration she feels towards herself for a number of things. She pushes herself to extremes fairly often, and more than once has nearly gotten herself killed because of it--but she's yet to learn her lesson.

However, fellow goblins and Idyllshire residents, as well as those adventurers who have helped their home, are (usually) given much fairer deals.

Due to her mixed heritage, Mara has both Hellsguard and Seeker of the Sun characteristics. She's taller than the average miqo'te and rather lanky; she has a black mark on the end of her nose, giving her an especially cat-like look; her ears are rounded at the tips, and her tail is long and very fluffy. It's not uncommon to see her covered in dirt and bruises.

Smallstax is a young goblin (woe beget anyone who suggests otherwise) who was welcomed into the Idyllshire gobbieflock not long after being found unconscious on the shores of the Thaliak River. They were given the name "Smallstax" by the goblins, although every one of them will swear up and down the name has nothing to do with their diminutive stature.

Basic Info

Although Smallstax has hazy, undefinable memories of their life before Idyllshire, their earliest memory that's clear enough to actually be considered a memory is waking up in a tent in the ruins of Idyllshire three years ago. They vowed to help the goblins in their efforts to rebuild the settlement to repay their kindness, but as their malleable personality and speech patterns came more and more to resemble those of the gobbies, they were eventually given a mask specifically designed for their small size and a proper goblin name.
Since then, Smallstax has been a common fixture among the citizens of Idyllshire, although lately they've been venturing further and further from the growing city, inspired to travel by the tales told by adventurers passing through.

Personality

Smallstax presents themselves as a young individual who is easily entertained and a sucker for stories, their round face and childish appearance furthering to cement this unassuming facade for most people. Although usually genuinely kind and helpful, if a little scatterbrained, especially to visitors in Idyllshire, Smallstax uses their "innocent" looks to their advantage--while not outright thieving, they have been known to swindle visiting merchants and adventurers out of considerably more gil than whatever junk they're hawking is worth. However, fellow goblins and Idyllshire residents, as well as those adventurers who have helped their home, are (usually) given much fairer deals.

Appearance

Standing at a full 2 fulms, Smallstax is about average size for a goblin. Their round face and chubby body are just baby fat, Smallstax insists, and definitely not a common Lalafellin trait. Although usually hidden by their goblin hat, Smallstax's hair is light brown, skin tanned from the sun, and eyes dark enough that the difference between iris and pupil is hard to see.
