His unwillingness to readily join combat, when necessary, can sometimes be off-putting, and his pessimistic behavior can grate on Onuma's nerves. It's a delicate balance; cowardice would be too harsh a stamp, and so she continues to believe he is simply more wary than the norm. | ||

Character
Onuma is a miqo'te that lived on the outskirts of Gridania prior to the Calamity. She was one of a family of three that lived somewhere in the southern thickets of the Black Shroud, but since that time she is the only surviving member. Thinking she lost everything, she moved to the harsh desert region of Thanalan to try to start her life anew. When she arrived at Ul'dah, she had little but the clothing on her back, two throwing knives and a few mint currencies of gil on her person.
Nearly four cycles later, she is now making a fairly earned name for herself amongst the merchants and has been seen as a threat to competitors for her goods. Despite being renown for her efforts in the marketing business, she began to spread her goals elsewhere and took up arms against the guerrilla warfare executed by the Amal'jaa, and soon became a familiar face on the most traveled trade routes of Thanalan. In this span of time, she traveled everywhere to both learn and spread her capabilities. She now uses those learned skills to live comfortably.
She has since moved on to other things, engaging her endeavors to be a free-reign Paladin from the Sultansworn. She has yet to feel she has reached that status in full, but given her time with her newly founded friends she believes she will learn what it is she is missing.
So far, they have overcome immense trials to be where they are today. But they are one friend less, and while that impact has been weighing heavy on their minds, Onuma has begun to learn a lot about what it means to be a true paladin in the wake of this event, and what she has come to expect in the future.
Appearance
Onuma stands tall for a miqo'te woman, a full five fulm, four ilm in height. Her stature is largely unimposing to the other races, but among her peers she could be considered intimidating for this trait. Her black hair is roughly chopped by the nape of her neck and often mussed, owing to her the appearance of a woman who is more concerned about finishing her work than looking fashionable and pretty. She has a pair of large, expressive amber eyes that seem to play a large role in firing up her ghostly white face. Her lion-like tail is long and thick; it is often an indicative measure in which, much like her ragged ears, it expresses her feelings strongest when animated.
She prefers dark colors over vibrant ones, and for that matter is hardly seen without her armor or weapons nearby. On the rare occasion, though, she will attempt to dress up, often in two parts reluctance to not look like the laziness she feels.
On a social level, given the direction a conversation takes, she may display a sense of trust. Onuma can be agreeable if not respectful and, provided the opportunity, will at least attempt to connect a bridge of understanding between herself and another person. On the other hand, she is guarded about a great many things and, if provoked, has a tendency for bullheaded acts that can easily lead to an unhealthy amount of confrontation.
She isn't well known for having a great control over her emotions and this may lead her to project an icy, reticent attitude or, at her worst, talk with her blade instead.
While Onuma has an understanding of the aether, she has yet to tap into her connection with it further than her ability to mend wounds and balancing the elements. She is far better at picking up how to learn weaponry, and above all else has honed in on her ability to wield a blade. More or less, she trusts herself more when in the arms of a sharp object and something to block projectiles with over a focus.

- ■ "That girl is trouble with the Wood Wailers." - Gridanian Villager
- ■"Oh! Onuma! Smart lass; would love to know where she even got a hint of her bargaining knowledge. Money's a hard thing to come by these days. She learned well." - Ul'dahn Civilian
- ■ "Watch out for that one; a strong fighter and her words bite even harder if ye don't watch yer tongue. She's fiercer than a couerl." - Bloodsands Participant
- ■ "I never got to thank her after she intervened those monstrous Amal'jaa, ransacking my caravan and threatening to steal my poor chocobos!" -Foreign Merchant
- ■ "I heard she was responsible for the Roost losing a window." - Gridanian Resident
- ■ "A kid was hurt by her idiocy, throwing weapons in the dead of night in the Roost. Found embedded in a tree, it was! Fool girl." - Gridanian Wood Wailer
- ■ "She made it up to Second-Lieutenant, but she doesn't look very proud of herself. Like she's scared. Who'd be afraid of that?" -Flame Private
- ■ "Her father own plantation. Traded with us once. Then never again." -Unnamed Tribal Keeper
- ■ "Her friend came back one night, lookin' like a bleedin' maimed corpse. Not sure what happened to 'em, what havin' not seen 'em since he lost his eye, but people 'round here be whisperin' about her. Say she did it." - Passing Adventurer in Gridania
- ■ "Her pop and kid died shortly after hell rained from the sky. Coincidentally, so did a party of four Wood Wailers. Of course, no one knows what happened that day, but sometimes I wonder when I see her in the city. Who knows; there's still a missing man out there." Gridanian Resident
"She is the greatest! She's smart, and pretty and I bet she holds alot more secrets then I do. I will grow up to be just like her and one day I'm so going to ask about those secrets. But for now I'll just hide over here and watch her." -Surilian Blu
"Her? She's a sorry excuse of a blade maiden. But then again I can see talent there. And her clothing colors are all so wrong. Waste I say! Tragic waste. But I suppose it could be worse. But then again we have something in common...I can smell it." -Liana Blu
"No one gets it done like Onuma. Her fervor is part of what makes her such a valuable friend and ally. She's all work and no play, though, and often, it shows." -Dawson Colwell
"Onuma? I can't quite confirm it, but I've heard musings that her mercenary work has the makings of myth. She and Lotan'to even assaulted a Garlean garrison alone, if the rumors ring true." -Kodaro Ba'rococo
"She sounds a leader, looks a leader. She and her lover. I don't know how she fell in with this troupe, but I feel safe with my back to her, at least. Again, my expectations are shaken, in what to expect from a Moonkeeper. Also, she wears a warrior's armor; I am not eager to fall in her ill favor." -Solelle Frilaix
"Since Y'adebh was taken from me, I'd not thought to have a family, again. Not like that. Onuma has proven to be a sister born apart from me, and I shall do all in my power to honour this sentiment. Knowing I've someone I might confide in....certain, such a circumstance as our meeting must be significant." -Y'lyfriel Sikah
"First impression? She's a Warrior, through and through. Now, though? I'm not so sure that's all there is to her. Time will tell, I guess." -Alex Castell
