Character

General

Rinette Molkoh was born in The Black Shroud to The Ochu clan. They were a small, nomadic Keeper of the Moon clan that consisted of the Molkoh family and the Nelhah family. At a young age Rinette was mentored by a strong huntress until the Calamity struck and scattered her entire clan. There was no news of their death and so she held onto the hope that they might still be alive. She keeps to her clans traditions and wanders The Black Shroud only leaving it when she has need of supplies that can only be found in other regions of Eorzea.

Appearance

Height: 5 fulms 3 ilms. Rinette is quite tall for a miqo'te female but still short when near other races.

Weight: 110 pons. Average for her height and body type.

Body Type: Rinette is petite and has a pear shaped body with wide hips, a small round bottom, and an ample amount of breast. She is not overly muscular but toned due to her training as a huntress.

Face: Her face is diamond shaped with high cheekbones and a pointed chin. Wide heterochromic eyes are surrounded by long dark lashes with a beauty mark below her left eye. A small button nose with a narrow bridge sits above wide full lips that hide her sharp elongated canines. Her eye brows are thin and arched giving her a slight look of surprise if her bangs aren't covering them.

Hair: Thin honey-wheat hair flows to her shoulders which makes her stand out from other Keepers who usually have dark hair. Her hair is tucked into her hat most of the time with blunt bangs left out. When she does take her hat off she has long hair that tends to be unkempt or braided.

Tail: A bushy, long tail the same fair color as her hair wiggles behind her constantly. When in a particularly foul mood it will flick sharply back and forth. If she is concentrating it will sway slowly. Rinette doesn't care for people touching her tail (or ears), it is a quick way to get her into a bad mood.

Clothes: Rinette like to keep things simple, especially while hunting, she can normally be found in thigh high boots with metal worked into it for protection, leather gloves, and a wide rimmed hat adorned with feathers to protect her sensitive eyes in the day light. Her choice of leg wear and shirts changes often, when hunting she wears simple leather leggings and a leather miqo'te top without sleeves for mobility. If just around camp she can be found in a simple skirt.

Personality

Attitude: Rinette is good-natured, quick to smile, and easily approachable but likes to be alone with her thoughts on occasion. While she is extroverted enough to strike up conversations with anyone it will likely consist of small talk topics until she gets to know them better. The quickest way to get her to open up and engage enthusiastically in conversation is to bring up music or to regale her with

tales of adventure. Once Rinette considers someone her friend she is fiercely loyal and will stay by their side no matter what.

Hyur: Rinette finds most Hyur personable and is quite comfortable with their company.

Miqo'te: She gets along with any moon-keeper she meets, it's another story with sun-seekers. She thinks they are misguided in how they run their society and doesn't understand the concept of a 'nuhn'.

Lalafell: She won't admit it but she is uncomfortable around the short people and finds them too child-like to take seriously.

Roegadyn: She is easily intimidated by either gender of Roegadyn but is impressed by their strength.

Elezen: She thinks they are all incredibly intelligent and fears looking like a fool in front of them.

Quirks: Almost always wears a large brimmed hat to keep the sun out of her light-sensitive eyes.

Alignment: Neutral Good

Sexuality: Straight

Combat

General

Rinette trained with a clan huntress for eight years and learned generations worth of archery and tracking knowledge. When the Calamity hit she didn't pursue any further training feeling that her skills were advanced enough and that no one could live up to her mentor. A self made short bow is her preferred weapon of choice and she rarely parts with it. If she were caught flat-footed she would resort to unarmed melee combat which is not her strong suit. If she were to seek a mentor it would be to further her melee skills. As a last resort she would use her skinning knife as an offensive weapon, she keeps one on her person whenever she can.

Weapons

Bows: Expert. Skilled at firing on the move and multiple arrows simultaneously.

Unarmed: Novice. Not skilled in any particular unarmed style.

Daggers: Adept. Hunting knife used to field dress kills.

Relations ♥ Romantic Interest    ♥ Platonic Love     ● Good Standing     ● Poor Standing ● Tobias Nightbringer: A charming male hyur she met at Apkallu Falls in Old Gridania who played violin for her for hours. He promised to teach her to read music notes so they could play a duet together but sadly he has disappeared. ● Xydane Vale: A handsome male hyur that ran into Rinette in the Central Shroud while being chased by a vodoriga, they promptly dispatched the voidsent together.

Clan

If any of this is wrong lore wise please correct me. This is an extremely rough outline for her clan. I used the format from this forum.

Name: The Ochu Clan

Families: Molkoh and Nelhah

Location: Nomadic, stays within the Black Shroud

Sexual Mores:

Outsiders - Males that prove themselves (through a trial of sorts) are allowed in the clan for a short period of time to breed with at least one female from each family.

Breeding - Males of the clan are expected to be with two females from the opposite family.

Matriarchs - The matriarch changes families.

Child Rearing - Children are raised together by the whole clan.

Coming of Age - Coming of Age trial begins at age 16. Once finished they are considered adults and matched with a partner to breed with.

First young girls are chosen by an elder huntress and are taken under their wing to test the limits of their knowledge. Then they are sent out to complete various tasks of their teachers choosing.
