Basic Info
Miah'a has some basic archery and very basic culinary skill, along with knowledge of how to survive in the forest. He is short, standing at only 5'2" and weighing what you'd expect of a young male who has lived off the land for his entire life. His hair is a deep blue, growing in lighter from the black hair he was born with (as evidenced by the black hair at tips of his ears, hair and tail). His skin is an ashy gray, suited for hiding among the foliage during nightly hunts. His cheeks and nose are painted with bright pigment that he keeps in a small sack on his person at all times. Not only is it his way of showing piety to Menphina but it is a way to feel close to the family he left behind. The pigment matches his light blue-green eyes and is mostly water-proof, though scrubbing while bathing removes it completely. He is in the habit of re-applying when he feels it has begun to fade. His bow was carved by his eldest sister Qhas with a string made of sinew hunted by his second sister Rhaq. While it has seen better days (he has been using it for many summers) he is sad to see it unused, and will likely keep it as a treasure for the rest of his days.
When traveling the Black Shroud he does his best to avoid Wood Wailers, sometimes taking the long way around or sneaking over fences to avoid confrontation. Miah'a is also uneasy around Chocobos, due to a lack of exposure to them before beginning his journey.
History
Miah'a is the eldest and only son of his family. Along with his two sisters and mother he lived among the trees on the outskirts of the Black Shroud for most of his life. His father is assumed dead, though his mother doesn't speak much of him and his sisters dare not tell him anything about it in fear of bringing her sorrow. Miah'a is indisputably the baby of the family, both in actual age and in treatment by his sisters. The two girls loved to spoil him and teased him often. They would take on the heavier portion of the hunting and usage of game, and when they did allow Miah'a to do it himself they would often coach him from nearby. Though this would frustrate Miah'a he lets his sisters do as they pleased, as he loved them too much to fight. His family survived by hunting for what they needed. Unlike the poachers of the Coeurlclaws they took only what they needed from the forest and nothing more. As a child his mother would often speak of her love for family and her desire for her children to have children of their own. During his tenth summer his mother arranged a coupling with the daughter of another wandering tribe, to be carried out when the two were of age.
Unknown to his mother, Miah'a has no interest in females. Because of his upbringing he feared bringing this to light and so he fled before meeting his to-be mate. Though his heart aches for love of his sisters and mother, his fear of disappointing them or being cast out far outweigh the dangers of setting out on his own. He's now found himself in Gridania, a place he knows neither his mother nor sisters would dare travel (it isn't hard for a Wood Wailer to mistake you for just another poacher, a fact his mother has had the spear wound to prove) and a place he hopes to make a new home.
Miah'a spends most of his time in Gridania, where he puts his archery skills to use as an adventurer for hire. Not long after he began his journey did he meet his friend Dianthus Itsaul, a fellow Miqo'te who was raised by Hyuran parents. The two shared a table at the Carline Canopy and became fast friends and perhaps something more.
After visiting Limsa Lominsa for the first time, Miah'a has taken up the culinary arts. Determined to do more with his food than simply roasting it over a fire, he's been slowly but steadily improving his skills. He send Dianthus gifts of the food he's cooked, eager for his approval and to do what he can for the young man that has done so much for him in the short time they've known each other.
Personality
Timid and likely to run from most confrontation, Miah'a always tries to be polite and friendly. While he enjoys the company of others he finds himself nervous in the larger crowds found in Gridania. He may seem absent minded at times, as he tries to adjust his nocturnal schedule to better suit living with his new Diurnal neighbors. Afraid of the stigma attached to it, he isn't likely to announce his sexual orientation to new company.
