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 since moved on to other things, engaging her endeavors to be a free-reign Paladin, taught from the Sultansworn. Over the course of her time spent with her newly founded comrades, Onuma is beginning to understand what it means to be one, and what kind of path is carved for her now.
They have overcome immense trials to be where they are today. But they are one friend less. Since then, Onuma has undergone significant changes and trials over the many passing moons. She's had her ups and downs, the mindset and the heart shaken, and through this her willpower and spirit tested. Haunted by a history that plagues her, Onuma is seeking out a path to right what the past wronged.
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, with a pair of large and expressive amber eyes that possess an intense stare. Scathed and burned from a great mission that could have spelled life or death for her and her comrades, the Keeper's dark hair is singed short; straw-like in texture. Several burns darken her already marked face, though with treatment they have begun to fade over time. Her arms suffer a similar effect, odd scrapes and deep cuts lining the flesh beneath treated burn wounds. On the base of her lion-like tail is a missing patch of fur, leaving a bald spot in its place. It's since been treated too, so it's not unusual to find that spot wrapped up.
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.
Activities and events have led Onuma to showing her true nature under distress. She hides her emotions beneath her eyes and she travels in silence, most of the time. Her ragged ears and her tail are strong indicators of how she may be feeling at a given time, however, as they tend to move and swivel a lot when animated by powerful emotions.
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.
Lately she's made more use out of her throwing knives.

- ■ "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
- ■ "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
- ■ "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
- ■ "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
- ■ "Aye. I heard o' her. Don't know what much I can tell ye, but I think she's somethin' to hide. No one stays quiet fer that long and don't have a tale to share." -Wandering Adventurer
"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
"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
"Onuma's still our work horse, but a lot has weighed her down lately. I'm afraid she'll crack under the pressure. If she let us help her with her burdens, she might see some relief." -Dawson Colwell
"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
"Oh, Onuma. She always tries to project a rough exterior, and she certainly has a potent bite to her words. But you should see her when she thinks she's alone; always playing with those little clockwork toys I make her. She's surrounded by the pets I find for her. I know her better than anyone, even herself. Hehe." -Lotan'to Jiub
"Onuma? Hmm.. She may seem scary, but she's really not! She's a nice, kind person under all her lack of smiles! She's really, REALLY sweet! You just gotta give'r a chance!" -Rah'na Lihzeh
"Tha' poor girl's go' a lot on'r mind. She's a young'n though, n' far be it from me t'tell her what t'do with'r life. She's strong though... N'she'll make it through, m'sure." -O'vitah Nunh
"The two times I met her, it was always pleasant. I wouldn't mind talking to her again, honestly. Maybe over coffee or tea or whatever she likes to drink. Maybe she can even give me a pointer or two with using a sword." -Sizha'to Chalahko
