Basic Info

Chika Ito (pronounced Chi-ca E-toe) comes from a very strict tribe, that consists of three families. The Ito tribe expands through nine generations, and are rather known for their wild way of living separated from society, and how they are savages when in battles. Unlike most Keepers of the Moon, and Miqo'tes in general, the tribe lived near Ul'dah for quite sometime before locating back to the South Shroud. Chika hardly lives in her home on the tribe's piece of land, where all the tribe members mostly live. Instead she now lives outside of Red Rooster Stead with her lover, and children. She has become the matriarch of her tribe, but still travels a lot outside of their grounds. Instead she makes a trip there several times a week to check on things.

Appearance

●Voice - Yoruichi Shihoin Zanpakuto from 'BLEACH' (English Dubbed)
●Height - 5 fulms 9 ilms
●Weight - 130 ponz

●Hair color - Ebony with claret highlights
●Eye color - Deep wine hues
●Skin color - Light Caramel

Reflecting the untamed personality she exerts in her daily life, her appearance seems to mirror it. On endless toned, but lithe limbs, the woman stands at five fulms and nine ilms, the maximum height of a Miqo'te female. Proportional with her lithe physique, and agile height, she comes in at one hundred thirty ponz. Certainly she is not made outright for hand to hand combat, but lingering in a defined feminine body a muscular system exists strength. Hidden potential to do devastating damage. One may easily assume that the woman has no actual muscle mass, do not let your eyes play tricks on you. From the age of five she was trained in hand to hand combat, that pairs wonderfully with her teachings of an archer, for if she ever finds herself disarmed she may quickly strike, and defend herself accordingly. Hailing from well kept genetics Chika is not classified as unattractive. Curves are voluptuous, carved delicately out of the stature of the woman, and her hip beautiful and generous as well as full from bearing children. Each dip, and detail, is tender never giving way to the predator that lurks within. The heated flesh that covers her body is stained a delicious, and rather tantalizing, caramel hue. Succulent mountains of tenderness adorn the Miqo'te's chest, and her bust is considerably large for her race. With the sea of caramel flesh, warm and soft, along with delicate womanly curves with her gorgoues features, the woman holds an inviting appearance. Once before her hair was long. Gossamer threads stained the darkest shade of auburn. Running wild throughout the claret strands are highlights consisting of ebony hues. After passing her family's test at the age of sixteen she has cut her hair short, and has kept it that way since. Often it is pushed up, and back, with a few strands of velvet escaping the hold and cradling her exotic features. Now she has dyed her hair ebony with claret highlights. Out of everything, though, the most prominent feature on Chika are her eyes. Pools of enchanting shades of wine red, coating each iris with their vibrant colors.

On the outside she may appear to be an attractive woman, but this is not the case for beneath the clothes she conceals herself in (almost constantly) there are imperfections. Scars line her back from the cruelty of men. While they are not raised knotted mountains of scar tissue, the are fairly smooth and noticeable due to their pigment. While most of her flesh is a enchanting caramel shade the scars that are scattered about her back are a medium cream color. These marks were formed from whips.

Scars

●Petite scars on her finger tips from sewing.
●Old faint scars on her back. They're not raised, and are a lighter shade of caramel compared to the rest of her skin.
●A scar beneath her jawline where her mandible merges into her throat. She obtained this from a spar with Vy a few years ago.
●8/24/2013 - Fresh whip lashes on her back. There are only four, and are scabbing over, but the skin around them is still red and inflamed with irritation.
●On her lower right abdomen, close to the right ovary, is a small mass of scar tissue inflicted in battle which she overthrew Vy from her position of power.
●12/15/2013 - Chika was in Limsa shopping with her fiancee, now missing, Arli. The pair had split up to do holiday shopping, so she was alone. While she was browsing through a fabric stall an old, and abusive, client she use to 'tend' to back in the brothel approached her. He tried convincing her to sleep with him, and when she said no he grabbed hold of her. Chika struck out violently to protect herself, and in the backlash from him, the flesh over her left eye took damage. Now there is a visible scar there.

●Faint, small scars litter her knuckles on both hands. When Arli went missing Chika took out her sudden aggression in objects around her house.

The Ito Tribe

The Ito Tribe is a clan consisting of three family tribes brought together, which is rare among the Keepers of the Moon. The family's are; Ito, Skyla, Verve. Everyone in the Skyla, and Verve, family clans were brought into the Ito tribe by marriage (or mating) to a member of the Ito family. Expanding through nine generations the Ito family has withstood the test of time. They are not your typical Keeper of the Moon tribe, or clan. Not only because of the number of other family units that have merged with the Ito tribe, but also due to the fact their methods they carry on throughout life. Much like Seeker society, these Keepers have a strict code, and value on how they do things. Often it makes others believe that this family is taboo.
This tribe lives rather far off of the grid from civilization. Far before the Calamity the tribe cut ties with cities, and villages, severing the need to depend on others to live. The Ito tribe become fully self-sufficient, and has remained that way for at least six generations. Over fifty-percent of their land is dedicated to growing food, and raising live stock. The children are raised knowing the basics of cooking, weaving, and leather working so they can craft clothes, and be able to make materials for their portable homes with ease.

Structure

A ranking system was implemented in the tribe long ago to create order, and to avoid chaos. Below is the basic structure. These are some of the ranks, more will be added over time.
Matriarch; the woman who leads the tribe
Heir; typically the first born daughter to the matriarch, but it can be someone of her choosing as long as they are part Ito
Scion; children of the matriarch that are not picked to become the heir, but they hold some sway of power in the tribe
The Council; this is a special rank consisted of the oldest, and wisest, members of the tribe. They are there to help create laws for the tribe, and to take some of the weight of ruling alone off of the matriarch's shoulders. Their word is highly revered, for children are raised to respect their elders
Sentries; these are people of the tribe hand picked by the matriarch to stay in the tree tops, and patrol the boundaries of the tribal grounds. It is their job to keep unauthorized persons out, as well as alert the tribe to any potential threats
Warriors; a warrior is someone who shows promise when it comes to fighting. They are loyal, devoted members to the tribe, and its matriarch, and will do anything to protect the tribe's members
Hunters; hunters are the people in charge of going out into the wilderness, and bringing home the wild game for the tribe. During the winter months when crops have a harder time growing, and they don't want to dip into the live stock population to feed the entire tribe, hunters are often sent out to comb the Shrouds, and even Thanalan, to kill prey and cart it back home. In the spring, and summer, months they often do not need to go out
Botanists; these are the gatherers. They not only go out to gather fruits, vegetables, and other vegetation (like spices, and herbs) but they are also the farmers of the tribe. During the spring, and summer, months they tend to the orchards and farmlands on the tribal grounds. Colder months are spent venturing out to warmer places to retrieve food
Member; merely a member of the tribe who doesn't have a job

Classes & Training

What is unique about the family, and has gained them a secure foothold in continuing throughout the ages, is their way of fighting. In battles those born within this tribe fight for survival, and are incredibly vicious. There is no fear of death, no fear of killing another, and no fear of blood spilling for it is natural to them. Ito members are brutal, and often they are considered savages when locked in a brawl. From the moment a youngster can walk, whether male or female, they are taught fighting. For the first five years of training they must learn the arts, and walk the incessant path of the Pugilist. So from the age of four (or five in some cases) to ten an Ito is trained daily, and rather harshly, the way of a Pugilist. It is so that if they are ever disarmed they will still have a chance of survival. Also during this period time is taken to show the youths the basics of being an apothecary so that way they may tend to their wounds after battle. Upon reaching their tenth birthday they may finally pick their destined class. For males they mostly pick becoming Gladiator, Marauder, or Lancer. Females typically delve into the world of magic, or archery. For eight years (age 10-18) they are put through more extensive training on a daily basis. In the mornings they continue their leanings of being a Pugilist, and then in the evenings they study, and work on their chosen course. Finally at the age of eighteen, what this tribe considers the threshold of adulthood, they are given a test (see Xuízo Week for more information).

Rituals

This is what makes the Ito tribe taboo. They are not like other Keeper clans, and below are some of the main reasons. Rituals play a pivotal role within the tribe's dynamics, and its future. Below are several rituals that take place.
Courting - The Ito tribe has learned a lot from the Seekers of the Sun, and often mimic the courting ritual. First the suitor (preferably male, but a female can court another female) must present the woman with a token of his affection. This can be anything. From jewelry, to hand made carvings. This token should be made out of durable material so it can withstand the test of time. It symbolizes the person doing the courting has ever lasting love for the woman. Once the suitor has provided a token of his (or her) affection they must do battle with the woman they so wish to wed. This battle is unlike most. It is not meant to cause injury, but to be a graceful dance involving weapons between the suitor, and the one being courted. Fighting to the heavy drums, and other instruments, the fighting dance is elegant and a sight to behold.
Claiming/mating - There are several steps in the ritual that a couple must complete in order to be fully mated, and bound to one another for life. Below at the steps.
■Public ritual: After the exchange of the wedding vows the matriarch takes a blessed dagger. The groom offers out his (or her) left hand, and the bride offers her right. With the dagger an incision is made in the palm that the groom and bride hold out. Ensuring that some blood escapes from these shallow gashes the matriarch then instructs the bride and groom to join said hands, and press the cuts together. Once this is complete the matriarch then ties a rope around their hands and wrists, symbolizing the eternal link between the newly weds. Sharing blood is the Ito way of sharing everything with your life long partner from your souls, to your blood.
■Private ritual: After the wedding feast, and the two are considered newly weds, the couple is whisked away to a private place within The Black Shroud. Here the Ito tribe has a small cozy cottage. Fully furnished the newly weds spend their honeymoon here, and complete the rest of the ritual. Their first step, after unpacking, is to run a hot bubble bath. Guided by the candlelight in the room the groom and the bride must bathe each other. This symbolizes them washing away their lover's sins, and past romances and sexual interactions with others. It allows their lover to become pure again. After the bath the couple is expected to consummate their marriage. During this two marks are given by biting. One on the neck to show the public that they are claimed, and all of their being is given to their spouse. Another is placed on the inside of the right thigh to signify that they claim their mate's body as their own, and no other may bring any sexual pleasure or gratification to their mate.
Xuízo Week - Xuízo (meaning judgement) Week is the week that the test occurs. This test determines whether or not a youth crosses the threshold to adulthood (in the tribe's eyes), whether the youth gets the ability to breed, and if the youth may leave the tribal grounds to find work in the cities. Not just those things, but it also helps establish a youth's status in the tribal ranks. In this test they are expected to fight against the matriarch in that present time. One week of each season (Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter) is dedicated to Xuízo Day. It happens every season so when a youth reaches their eighteenth name-day they may take part in the test. Every day, for seven days, the youths that have reached the eighteenth mark of their life span will be tested. Usually only three youths are tested each day. Originally it was known as Xuízo Day, but as the tribe's numbers expanded they eventually increased it to a week so that all the youths may have the chance to take the test. Also so the matriarch isn't so overloaded. During this test real weapons are used, and often there are injuries. Hardly does it result in casualties. Everyone is expected to watch this ritual, and the parents of the youths being tested must not interfere no matter how wounded their child is.
Coming of age - Technically when a youth reaches puberty they are considered coming into age. Not here within the Ito Tribe. No, the coming of age ritual takes place on Xuízo Week. That is only if the youth passes the test. Should a youth pass the night they succeed, and are the victor in their match against the matriarch, they must first bathe the battle from their body in a tub full of salt water. This water is pure spring water with salt just added to it. The salt is blessed by the elders of the tribe, but what makes this a feat of strength is often the youths have sustained injuries from their test, and these wounds are very fresh for the bath takes place directly after the battle. No youth may cry, or whimper, during this bath no matter how painful the salt is in their wounds. Them enduring anguish is the first step past the threshold. Once their bath is complete the youth is blindfolded, clothed only in undergarments, and taken to a random spot in the desert lands surrounding Ul'dah. Dropped off with no resources at their disposal, and no shoes or protective clothing, they must find their way home. This is honestly the turning point in the coming of age trial. They are given the choice when their blindfold is removed. They may either go to Ul'dah, and shed their birth name, and leave the tribe (in which they are forever banished). Or said youth may make the journey home, and claim their spot in the tribe. Should the youth choose to come home upon their arrival they are dressed in ceremonial robes. Each robe is custom made for each youth starting from their birth, and expanding through their life. The test, among other notable events like their birth and the such, are weaved into the silk fabric of their robe. Finally a feast is held in their honor, and at the end of the dinner the matriarch gives the youth a chalice with an inch of ancient wine in it. Drinking the liquid finalizes that they have passed all trials in order to be considered an adult, in order to get a rank, and in order to breed.

Festivals

Blessing of the new born - Celebrating life is something the clan prides itself on, for new life is refreshing much like the rain, and the moon along with the night. When a female is expecting a child it is a time for not just celebrations, but for preparing. When a woman goes into labor the family starts to gather at the home of the expecting parents, or expecting mother. Once the child is born a blessing ceremony is preformed when the moon is at its highest point in the heavens. This is when they begin to send prayers to Menphina asking her to guide, and watch over the new born throughout their life. While this is happening the elders of the tribe prepare a bath for the new born. The water is from the snow of the tallest point of the tallest summit. Snow is melted down before adding it to the bath. From here it is not warmed up any further, but actually cooled down. A white mage blesses several medicinal herbs, and herbs that are thought of to give strength and fortune, before placing it in the water. That is when the white mage blesses the water as well. From extra herbs a thick sap substance is made. The oldest elder then takes the new born, and dunks the baby beneath the cold water. Withdrawing the infant from the waters the sap is spread onto their forehead. The Ito tribe believes that this will help seal their prayers to Menphina, and that she will proceed to bless the baby throughout his or her life.
Feast of the new year - When the new year comes around the family clan gathers at the tribe's homestead to celebrate, and yes attendance is mandatory. The morning of the eve before the new year reigns in men and woman alike begin to prepare a large feast. Children are exempt from this, and any youth that is in training gets to take this day, and the day of the new year, off. Other than the blessing of a new born this is the biggest gathering the tribe sees all year. Elders sit around with each other to tell their tales, and life experience to youngsters, while the working hands hunt and gather food to provide for the feast. Meanwhile a group of men go into the woods, and cut several trees down for the bonfire that is lit as darkness sets. This feast is suppose to be fun so there are a lot of games for everyone to partake in. When the sun sets the fire is lit, and the food is served, and everyone sits down to eat a hearty meal while enjoying the great company of family.
Death - Yes death is very much cause for celebration in this tribe for death doesn't represent an impending end, but rather a chance for their loved ones to soar to the sky and be enveloped in the Moon goddess's arms. Mourning, and crying, is a shameful act to be seen, and may only be done in private. In public one must keep themselves composed, and be joyful that the deceased family member can go meet Menphina. Cheerful music is played, and yet again another time where food is presented, and the youths can take a day off from training.

RELATIONS These include people from Balmung and Gilgamesh ♥ Lover ♥ Desired ♥ Platonic Love ♥ Ex lover ● Close friend ● Friend ● Neutral ● Enemy ◢ Family (Coming soon) ♥● T'urnessa Ito : As mentioned in Towering Falcon's section, T'urnessa was introduced to Chika by Towering Falcon. Nessa had never been with a woman before so Chika spent the gil to hire her for an evening. There were sparks instantly. The next day Chika returned, and happened upon T'urnessa as she was reading in Falcon's room. They spent hours talking about books, and romance. Along with how Nessa should never give up hope in finding true love. A day, or so later, they went to Forgotten Springs and had a mini-date where they both shared the confession that they were starting to develop emotional attachments of romance to one another. This is how they entered a secret relationship. That weekend Chika whisked T'urnessa away to a cabin at Hidden Falls. This helped strengthen their love for one another. Their last night there Chika told Nessa she can come live with her when Nessa decided to leave TF's business. Later the next week T'urness ended up leaving Towering's business for good, and ended up on Chika's door step. Since then things have gone splendidly! The two are hardly ever apart from each other, and she has even adopted Chika's previous children on as her own. Chika took a fantasia, and the two have sired a child together. Recently they wed in a private ceremony on the Ito tribal grounds. Mrs Chika and T'urnessa Ito consider one another life mates. Meaning in their minds, and hearts, they are bound to each other for this life time and eternity. T'urnessa is not only Chika's life mate, and wife, but her greatest friend as well. ◢ Clan mates ● An'zero Tia : These two really haven't spent any time together, and Chika only has come across this Tia on several occasions, but the man seems to be a good father to his adopted daughter Nanapo. Chika had once thought he could be a possible friend, but due to recent interactions with the Tia he has begun to work on his nerves with his lack of tact, and hos easily he shrugs off the Aurora clan. ● Tenha'a Rendha : Tenha'a is a man who is very free spirited, and has a light heart. Their interactions, while few and far between, end up making her smile and laugh. He tends to pick on Chika a lot, teasing her about her secret love for penis, but it never seems to get on her nerves when he does this. A lot of it is because this man is her good friend, T'shina's, mate. ● T'shina Vashka : T'shina had stumbled upon Chika when the mocha Keeper was playing the violin in Thanalan. She is actually one of the few that actually ever heard the matriarch play music. From then the two stumbled upon each other in Bentbranch, where Shina has asked if Chika would like to assist Free Wing Society, and her, on a mission into Haukke Manor. Their friendship has been through some trials. Including when Chika attacked Toff she had lost the respect of T'shina, and Miss. Vashka was greatly disappointed in her. Since then Chika has been working on restoring the respect Shina once had. Most of the time they spend together is spent talking about their lives, and the happenings in them. Sometimes Chika even offers advice. When T'shina left Free Wing Society Chika was quick to follow due to the fact her loyalty is to this woman. While they do not fully trust each other, Chika has placed some trust in this Seeker. She likes to consider T'shina a close friend. ● Toff Vaughnn : This friendship is a very odd one. Toff, and Chika, met at the Quicksand when Chika was watching over Ado. Things started off great. They talked a lot, and came to know one another through conversations about their pasts. Over time he made his desires known for her. At that time she was with Ai, and had no desire to leave her mate. Toff had crossed a line with her when he was at the springs at Camp Bronze Lake by not only saying Senah was dead and Chika needed to get the hell over it, and by kissing her. Chika told Ai, and Ai confronted Toff about it. Toff severely wounded Chika's mate, and had it not been for Chika'to, Ai would have died. Pissed, and hurt at Toff, Chika attacked him in the Ruby Road Exchange. For some time the two avoided each other like the plague, but made amends after time passed. Chika never truly got over what he did to Ai. Neither of them have talked to each other lately, and Chika wonders if they should still be friends. ● U'zhan Tia : A hybrid Miqo'te, half Seeker and half Keeper, that became friends easily with Chika. They often engaged each other in conversations about genetics, and how cruel their own kind can be when it comes to half breeds. They have been spending a considerably amount of time together as of late, and it is something the mocha Keeper has enjoyed. Sonja, and Calista, have taken a shrine to the hybrid. His company is always welcomed. ◢ Friends ♥● Adokenai Kodomo : Ado is Lilithium's adopted son. Outside if Haukke Manor is where the two first encountered each other. He is a five year old Lalafel boy, and has touched her motherly instincts to protect and take care of him when his mother isn't around. She has done this several times, even tricked him into drinking apple juice when he dislikes healthy food. Since leaving the Free Wing Society Chika has found out how much she misses the kid's antics. ♥● Ai Shira : During Chika's darkest days, when she was on death's door step, she tried committing suicide. Ai had saved her from doing close. This half Hyur, half Elezen, woman had nursed Chika back to health. She even moved in with Chika and began helping to take care of the kids. The horrors of almost dying several times drew Chika closer to Ai. When Alvaro, Chika's father, failed to kill his daughter he tricked Ai into taking a fantasia potion changing Miss. Shira into a man. Even after this the two remained a couple, but after three months of no intimacy, Chika felt a large strain being taken on the relationship. After making love Chika inquired if Ai would ever change back into a woman, and he declined. The two got into an argument, and Chika threw the no intimacy in his face, before running out of the house. Upon returning Ai was gone. Recently Chika found out her ex-lover committed suicide. ♥● Alexia Juste : A Midlander woman whom Chika grew incredibly close to after Alexia stopped Chika from attempting murder on someone. Over the course of their friendship, and talks, Chika started to fall in love with Miss. Juste. It turned into a large crush, in which Chika announced while drunk. They've been through troubling times, including Chika nearly dying and Alexia going to Coerthas, but it never seemed to really effect their friendship. After Chika's near death experience Alexia grew rather standoffish, and the two almost got into a physical altercation. After that they never saw each other again, and the love and friendship that once was there withered away. ● Arismont Chassebel : This man is an acquired taste, in her opinion. He can be brash, sometimes rude with his crude humor, and knows what buttons to push to piss Chika off. He had been involved in a relationship with an old friend of hers, and ended up crushing the girl's heart by abandoning her with no goodbye. It left them off in a rather bad spot, and she finds her friendship waning with him. ♥● Arli Rabntah : This female Keeper of the Moon had met Chika when the mocha matriarch was pregnant with Calista. The two hit it off very well, and she was there when Chika gave birth. Chika had given Arli a home, and shared her family with her. Over the course of months the two became very close, and even were engaged. A week before their wedding Arli disappeared in the middle of the night. Giving no warning, and leaving no note. Since then all the feelings she one held for this woman have long died. Love turned to rather vicious loathing. ● Aya Foxheart : T'shina Vashka introduced these two when Chika first came to Ul'dah. Aya is a sweet, and sometimes naive, woman who is a waitress at the Quick Sand. They easily hit it off, and Chika finds it hard to not smile when Aya is around. This Midlander woman happens to be very kind, and has a comforting aura around her. ● Azeiox Nelles : An Elezen man who was dear to Ai. He acted as a protector to the mocha Keeper, but since Ai's death the two have avoided each other all together. Recently they ran into each other during All Saint's Wake, and they discussed their personal issues with what has happened in the past. It's a good start on the road to recovering, and salvaging, a possible friendship but there is a lot of work to be had. ♥● C'artimeo Nunh : It was not friendship at first sight. Oh no, Chika actually tried murdering him for C'artimeo had stolen the antelope she'd be preying on for hours. They were like oil, and water, for the longest time. He was trying to get into her pants, and viewed her as a conquest. She thought of him as an arrogant prick. Time passed, and with much wearing down, C'artimeo convinced her to become his lover. While out with her by a lakeside, his wives and children were murdered by a Tia. He burned down his home, and the remains of his old life, and so Chika took him into her tribe as her first breeding male. Over the course of their time together she became pregnant with his child. When her father poisoned her with dark magic it was at war with her natural aether. In the process of it the fetus became collateral damage, and her body aborted the pregnancy. To this day it still haunts her. After the miscarriage things were never the same. She could no longer look at him, nor love him. Ending their relationship she asked him to leave, and hasn't seen him since. ♥● Chompy : An adorable little raptor that belongs to her good friend, Zurine Ekaitz. He is the mascot for the free company Envisage of Night. He quickly melted Chika's heart, and often she'd bring him grilled dodo to snack on. What made her adore him even further was his bond with her baby daughter, Calista. She misses him everyday. ● Ember Flamestrike : Her friendship with this woman is a very strange one. Ember is a scientist. Therefor finds no harm in experimenting on live subjects, such as people. It has always rubbed Chika the wrong way, and she hasn't always agreed with Ember's methods. When she was dying, Ember was the one who found out first, and she came to Chika's aid. To the point Ember risked her life a multitude of times, even offered her home to the matriarch of the Ito tribe. The two have shared in heart to heart moments, but neither will actually admit it. Her sister, Xaio Ito, gave her recent news that Ember has passed away. Something that tears Chika apart for she still has debts to repay to the Roe woman. ♥● Enja Niuhali : Enja, and Chika, used to be great friends! Chika use to call Enja her paler twin for the two share several facial attributes that are the same. Their friendship started off with Enja coming to 'Sew Beautiful' for a new shirt. From there their friendship blossomed, and once upon a time the two were actually intimate, but it lasted briefly. When Chika was dying Enja had been informed about it, but did not act like the others did. Finding out this bit of information Chika became deeply hurt by her good friend's refusal to help. This has lead to a great rift forming between the two, making the mocha Keeper avoid the pale Seeker. ♥● Ennara Calian : Chika met this lovely lady when the woman approached her, and made an inquiry about Sew Beautiful, and getting an outfit made by Chika. There were instant sparks between them, leading to intimacy. They encountered each other numerous times since that day, even spent one evening talking about their pasts and what they hoped for the future. Ennara explained to Chika she wouldn't be interested in anything romantic with the matriarch if she was in a relationship. So Chika left Ai. After doing so Ennara told Chika she was going to Coerthas, which didn't sit well with Mrs. Ito. They got into an argument, and Chika stormed off. Their friendship was on rocky terms since, and for a time they fell out of contact. Which lead both to believe neither were interested in getting romantically involved with each other. After a period of silence the two actually sat down, and spoke to one another. Chika gave Ennara a personal link pearl, and she left under the impression that things were fixed. However it has been several months since she heard anything from Miss. Cailan, and she wonders if the woman is okay. ● Graive Elune : Mentioning that name around Chika makes the Keeper's blood boil. Graive is much like Ember in the field of science. Lack of emotions, and empathy, and the desire to pick things apart. That isn't what bothers Mrs. Ito. One day Chika's sister, Nadya, had informed the mocha woman that Graive had expressed desire to kill her because she had formed a romantic relationship with Graive's assistant. This made the Keeper furious. To the point that Chika attempted to assassinate Miss. Elune, but was stopped by Alexia Juste. Hate still lingers in her veins for this woman. ● Hirokuli Zerokuli : A Lalafel that quickly won Chika's friendship. They had met when Chika first joined Envisage of Night, and swiftly became friends. He has a good heart, and makes her laugh a lot. He is one of the very few people she actually can trust. ● Kagewoe Erasus : Kagewoe, and her, never really use to bother each other. They'd mostly just give one another a chin jut, or a mere 'hello'. Over the course of several hardships their friends faced in Envisage of Night the two began to work together. When Chika was falling ill she confided in the Hyur man. He had actually been there to save her from dying. While no one else, but Ai, could get close he did. He actually slapped the ancient artifact around her throat. His determination, and honesty, is something Chika admires. This is another person she can trust. ♥● Kheda'ya Zahre : Kheda happened upon Rosa San, the brothel that Chika was employed at. During her time there the two had a sexual interaction, him hiring her for an evening. From this encounter the two parented Chika'a and Chika'to. With Vy in charge, at that time, she took the boys away. It took Chika five years to come in contact with Kheda'ya again, and when they met up she informed him that he has fraternal twin sons. He's been slightly involved in their lives, but made no attempts to be a family with Chika and the boys. Kheda, and Chika, have never really been close and never will be. A fact Chika doesn't mind in the slightest. ● Liandri Mei : Chika doesn't often hate people, or make enemies, so it is surprising when someone actually makes that list. This Miqo'te has given her good reason to be an enemy. Their first meeting was brief, but no malice formed of it. Through talks with U'zhan, Chika learned of how Liandri claims to love the hybrid Miqo man, but on the side she sleeps with a Hyur male. In Chika's mind that isn't right. You don't claim to love someone, and sleep with them, only to be laying in the arms of another. It made her feel unease around Miss. Mei. What was the final nail in the coffin was at Rock's beach party. When U'zhan was bid on, and won by T'shina, Miss. Mei had threatened to skin him while standing next to Chika before telling Dante that he was back in her bed again. Joking, or not, Mrs. Ito took this incredibly serious, and should any harm fall on U'zhan by this woman's hand T'shina and Chika agreed to have a race to see who can punish Liandri Mei first. ● Licia Kline : Leader of Envisage of Night she had many interactions with Chika. They grew close over time, and a long time ago Mrs. Ito use to call Miss. Kline her friend. Licia actually told Chika, and Senah, that they were both pregnant. Licia once had Chika's admiration, and trust, and it strengthened more over enduring hardships together. However, after Licia saved Chika, things went down hill. A Lalafel, that informed the company of why Chika was dying, sacrificed her life. Instead of taking measures to try to save the girl Licia, and others, allowed her to perish. This did not sit well with Kagewoe, Ai, and Chika (when she found out). So it caused a rift in the company. Instead of repairing it, like a leader should, Licia allowed the rift to widen. Chika, along with several others, ended up leaving the company due to it. And so their friendship, and trust, ended. ● Lilithium Altair : After being without a company for a few weeks Chika was introduced to Miss. Altair by T'shina. A bond of friendship, and respect, was forged. On several missions the two were paired together, and outside of work they spent some time with one another. Chika came to like Lilithium, but a divide was created. Chika's loyalty is to T'shina, for she is the one who brought her to Free Wing Society in the first place. When T'shina left, after Lilithium picked C'kayah over her friendship with Miss. Vashka and her mate, Chika followed. She holds no ill intent, or malice, against Miss. Altair, but harbors no real desire to be friends either unless the Hyur approaches her about it. ♥● Nanapo : A little Lalafel child she adores greatly. The girl has a rather nasty habit of getting in trouble, but Chika is there to offer help and guidance to the young girl. She feels protective over her like she does with Ado. There isn't anything Chika wouldn't do to help, and protect, Nana. ♥● Nymira Valeroyont : Nym is a great friend, and one of Chika's best! Mrs. Ito respects, trusts, and loves Nymira. Many times has this woman proven her friendship to Chika. Even taking Chika in when the Keeper was recovering from her near death experience, and taking care of her. They haven't spent much time together since Chika left Free Wing Society, and this is something she regrets greatly for she misses Miss. Valeroyont every day. ♥● Senah Lyehga : Senah, and Chika, have known each other since they were young children. The Lyehga family were allied with the Ito tribe when Vy was in power. During political meetings between the families, Senah would be brought to the Ito lands. So what would the two do? Naturally play like all children do! Wrestling, sparing, chasing each other around. Endless hours of fun. As they grew older Chika developed feelings for Senah. When they became teenagers Senah stopped coming on the meetings, and it took many years for them to see each other again. Yet when they did the two became even closer. Eventually dating. At the Bismark Senah proposed to Chika, expressing her desire for family, and love. Happily Chika accepted. Senah is the reason why Chika killed Vy. Before the two wed Chika took a fantasia potion to change her anatomy, and genetic coding. She is the sire to Sierra, the daughter Senah was pregnant with and gave birth to. The fantasia backfired, and Chika became pregnant with Calista. Shortly after Calista's birth Senah, and Chika, were in Coerthas. An Aevis attacked, and a pregnant Senah was foolish and rushed to defend Chika. In doing so she toppled over a cliff with the dragon, and was presumed dead for six months. Only recently she came back into Chika's life, wishing to return to what they once had, but by that time Mrs. Ito had moved on. They don't speak much anymore. Senah picks Calista up for weekends every now and again, and drops off Sierra in exchange. Other than that the two have little to no contact for the pain, and their past, make being around each other rather difficult. ● Timari Corala : A bond of family was forged with this Keeper, and Chika. Timari is rather shy, withdrawn, and wounded from her abusive past. This brought out Chika's protective motherly instincts, and she often took care of Timari. When Ember vanished Timari was left alone, and so Chika opened her home to Miss. Corala. In exchange Timari cooked, cleaned, and tended to Chika's children for her. However after she received a letter from Miss. Flamestrkike about their relationship ending, Timari disappeared and hasn't been seen or heard from since. Chika is concerned for her old friend's safety, but figures she'll come around when and if she wants to. The absence has put a strain on the friendship, and so Chika is neutral with the woman now. ● Towering Falcon : She is a lady Roe, and owner of a prostitute business that is based out of Ul'dah. Chika had been suffering from depression, and she had felt unwanted and undesired. Ado introduced the two entirely on accident. Chika likes to think of TF as a friend. Towering asked some 'personal' questions which lead them both back to the Lavender Beds. Here is where Chika hired Lucy Honeypot for a night. Afterward Falcon, and Chika, encountered each other many times. Speaking of possible business with one another. TF even offered Chika a job. She is also how T'urnessa, and Chika, met one another. When Nessa was new, and had never been with a woman, Towering offered her to Chika for fifty thousand gil. To this day Chika will say spending that much was well worth it. For out of this meeting came a glorious, and adorable, relationship with Nessa. Chika is under the impression TF is pissed that Nessa left the business because of Chika. She hasn't had the courage to seek out the Roe yet. ● Zurine Ekaitz : Chika misses Zurine a lot. Over the course of time the two became good friends with one another. Chika often sought out comfort in Zurine's company, and she hoped the blue woman felt the same way. When Chika was in need of saving Zurine was there. When Chika became an alcoholic Zurine helped get her back on track after Mrs. Ito's miscarriage. Zurine is one of the reasons why Chika regrets leaving Envisage of Night, and she wonders if they'll ever see each other again. Either or Zurine will always be a close friend in Chika's mind. Out of character note : After several role plays with your character you will be added to the relationships list. Don't be offended if you aren't up here.
