[edit]
  NameHer name speaks for itself that she is a Plainsfolk [[2]] with an Ul'dahn origin, being that her name is a mixture of Plainsfolk and Dunesfolk [[3]] naming. Both of her parents have thematic names, so they decided to continue that legacy with Lulu's name having an abundance of letter L's. Her name bares the meaning of a protected treasure, a self-fulfilling prophecy that in a way started her story.
AppearanceLulu's hair is ginger, a very distinct feature of hers, as well as her green eyes. Her left eye is of brighter color and she can't see with it since some recent events. She also has a heart shaped scar on her right cheek. Her hair is currently shorter than it used to be, but she's determined to grow it out again. She usually wears light clothing because her light body doesn't support heavy armor. Her favorite color is dalamud red, so she will usually wear something red and white. Her left eye is usually covered with an eyepatch, but when she's in company she likes and trusts, she will take it off.
What follows is a recollection of Lulu's past, from her birth up until this point in her story.
Her parents wanted more from life than spending it in La Noscea, so at her father's behest, they set off on a ship, leaving that life behind them. Lulu was conceived on her parents journey from La Noscea to Ul'dah, making her a traveller from her earliest moments. She was born in Ul'dah on the 23rd Sun of 6th Astral Moon in the year 1563 of the 6th Astral Era, which makes her current age 15 years old. Lulu and her parents spent their first few years in Ul'dah staying with her mother's relatives. Soon they managed to find a place of their own, near the Gate of Thal, where they moved when Lulu was 2 years old.
As Lulu was growing up, the relationship between her parents was deteriorating. Linala, her mother, yearned for what Lumo promised her, but he seemed complacent. The promise of adventure became a memory, and then just a dream, as he worked on his craft more and more, leaving little time for him to focus on his family. He barely noticed when Lina left one night and got in some trouble with the law, ending up noticed by a upstart Sultansworn, which later led to a series of events that ended with her being thrown in jail. Because of that, Lulu barely remembers her, and was mostly raised by a overprotective father. Living with her fatherAfter he lost his wife to a legal battle, and after she was sent to jail, Lumo focused more on his daughter, treating his wife as a cautionary tale. As a result, he became overprotective, and by doing so, forcing Lulu to seek out thrills as she could, secretly, just like her mother. It all started by sneaking around Ul'dah, getting to know the city. Soon, Lulu made an abundance of friends, and was well known around the markets. But as she grew older, knowing just the city wasn't enough. Lulu became increasingly interested in the world outside the city.
The ever increasing threat of the Garlean Empire loomed above Eorzea, which made Lumo afraid for his daughter. Before the battle at Carteneau, the gates of Ul'dah closed. As the moon Dalamud was being plucked from the heavens, Lumo prayed that they survive. The gods did hear his and prayers of many Eorzeans. But in that fated moment, when Bahamut broke out of his prison, Lulu was in the middle of another exploration. She decided to visit the Thaumaturges guild, but when she entered the place, she came face to face with a Voidsent. A mad Thaumaturge decided to summon a Voidsent as one of his final acts. As Lulu walked in, the Voidsent, wounded and weak, grabbed the girl and with it's final strength managed to plant a part of itself inside her, a so called Voidseed. The Voidseed stayed dormant until one fateful day when Lulu was suddenly pulled into the Void.
The Calamity came and passed. Lulu and her father were lucky enough to survive and Lumo decided that he will protect his daughter more. She had a strict curfew, and was not allowed to go to some of the seedy areas of the city. As far as her father was concerned, she was allowed at the markets and inside the Gate of Thal. But Lulu would soon slip through and go to the Quicksand, where she became friends and a favorite of Momodi. When Lumo found out that Lulu has been in the Quicksand, he started berating her and Momodi. But Momodi, being a tough Lalafell, put her foot down and also put some sense into the old fool. Lulu turned 14 by then, and by gods, she should have some freedom. Her father just nodded, but made Momodi promise her that she would keep an eye on her as much as she could. Lulu finally had some more freedom. From that day on, she would spent almost every day in the Quicksand, talking to adventurers and learning what it's like to be one. Her wish to one day join their ranks grew stronger. Then came the Hulu incident. One evening, when the Quicksand was full, and Lulu was sitting on the stairs, because there was nowhere else to sit, a big Roegadyn named Ember Sun tripped on her while drunk and carrying more drinks to his table. Lulu wasn't hurt, luckily, but the Roegadyn spilled the drinks and flipped a table as he fell. The table in question was, unfortunately, where a Sultansworn was sitting and relaxing after a long day's work. After some finger pointing, the Sultansworn named Lalalo Hululo accused Lulu of intentionally tripping Ember Sun for her own amusement. What followed after was a chase through Ul'dah, and Lulu hiding in the Gold Square. From that day on, the Sultansworn was on the lookout for the girl, and any time he would see her, he would chase after her. This all continued until Lulu snuck out of Ul'dah and started a series of events that lead to Hulu getting his just dessert.
One early morning, after she did her chores, Lulu was tempted to go to the Gate of the Sultana. There she noticed that the Brass Blades were suspiciously absent. Maybe taking a morning leak, but she didn't care, this was her chance. She dreamed of one day exiting Ul'dah and seeing the world, and this was the day that could happen. She snuck through the gate and entered Western Thanalan. From there she found her way to the Goblet, a small hamlet build for adventurers. She knew that here she can find some proper adventure stories, maybe even an adventure of her own. She ended up at a big house that was bustling with activity, and saw some peculiar characters arguing. She decided to just watch, but then a nearby wall caught her attention. A man was lying on it, resting. He looked asleep or even... dead. Lulu proded him, but he didn't react. Soon, she was certain that the man was dead... until the man spoke. She jumped and almost fell off of the fence, but held her balance in the end. She found out that the man is a member of a company, a Kindred. Lulu became interested in this Kindred and asked a lot of questions. After getting some vague answers, she decided to enter the house. Her first impressions were written in her journal which she started keeping on that day. The Kindred was a bustling and active company. They dealt with providing various services. From securing caravans to providing foods and drinks to visitors, the company had it all. Lulu was in awe. Up until that point she thought that adventurers just travel the world and slay monsters for gil. In the Kindred she met a Lalafell named Peneli Zuneli, or as everyone called him - Penny. The two hit it off almost immediately, and soon became friends, and then later even lovers. She was soon interviewed by a warden named Vijara Windaar, a Miqo'te Keeper who was extremely mysterious and soon proved to also be dangerous. After the interview, Lulu was accepted into the company, and was the youngest member. She told her father that she joined a aether learning guild in Ul'dah, not revealing the truth of the company.
As time went by, Lulu started slowly training. At first she tried with a scepter. She could create ice spells and a Lalafell named Kokomi, or Koko for short, told her she has great potential. But, unfortunately, one short incident involving a fire spell that bounced off of the target and lit a Miqo'te's tail on fire, made her give up on magic for a while. She later tried to train with a spear, and Penny would teach her how to thrust and use it to kill animals. Lulu didn't like it much and soon told him that she would like to try something else. That was also the time when Lumo found out about Lulu and Penny, who have gotten really close and started holding hands. He insisted that, if she really needs to train with anything, that it be something range. That is when a Miqo'te named Bexy Amalaryssia approached her and offered to teach her how to use a bow and arrow. Lulu picked it up fairly quickly and loved it. Everyone soon knew that she was a natural archer. Her first adventure consisted of walking all the way to Gridania, where she and Penny made promises to each other to never part. Unfortunately, a year after that, due to certain events, they had to part. Penny soon left for Coerthas, where he was training under the wing of an Elezen named Mathieux Norremitore, in order to become a proper lancer. Lulu and Penny shared their first kiss on the battlements of Camp Dragonhead. Unfortunately, his regiment was soon attacked by a horde of aevis and Penny went missing. The Night of AhrimenA short episode happened while Penny was away and before Lulu found out about him missing. It was almost the time of All Saints Wake, and the stories of ghosts started to get prominent. Lulu was helping out at the Kindred bar when she found a poem hidden under the kitchen sink.
The poem was odd and seemed to appear out of nowhere. Lulu soon gathered several people to help her decypher it. Reiko Takahashi, Konini Koni and Yuyuki Yuki all eventually agreed to help her. Their adventure eventually lead them to a cave in Southern Thanalan where Lulu accidentally finished an old lingering spell by placing the needed pickatrix into it's place, and summoned forth a voidsent. Fortunately, Reiko reacted in time and zapped the portal, thus hitting the ahriman in it, making it weaker. This in the end caused the ahriman to lose a lot of it's body size and even though it did come through to the overworld, it was weakened and the girls trapped it. They didn't kill it because they didn't know how to, so they took it with them. They even named it Scally. The ahriman was soon taken over by a friendly mage Miqo'te who decided to study the creature. The adventure seemed to end there, but as the All Saints Wake approached, Scally returned in the form of a hat. Lulu's hat to be exact, the hat she received as a gift from her father. After few de-threading threats issued by Bexy, Scally warned them about the coming All Saints Wake, calling it the Night of Ahrimen, and that his summon was just a part of a greater plan to conquer the overworld. When the said night came, the Kindred was ready. The Goblet was attacked by several voidsent, who started killing unsuspecting merchants and even some adventurers. But their rampage was stopped when all the adventurers banded together and fought them off. Though the threat was eliminated, Scally seemed to remain in the hat. Only... it wasn't Scally anymore. What remained were only jumbled memories of a mage who tried to summon a voidsent during the Calamity, but failed when the cave collapsed on him, not finishing the spell. Somehow, the spirit of the mage and the voidsent which was summoned joined into one and now when Scally was banished back into the Void, only the memories of the mage remained, his spirit wandering aimlessly between life and eternal embrace of death. They returned the spirit inside the hat to it's final resting place. Rescuing Penny and leaving the KindredAfter launching a rescue mission, Penny was returned to her, but he wasn't the same. And neither was Lulu, really. Just before the rescue mission, an aether bomb went off inside the Kindred Estate, and Lulu got aether poisoning. She was cured at the time, but it started a bomb inside her, slowly awakening the Voidseed which laid dormant for years. After some events that included targeting some of the members of the Kindred, and the death of Vijara Windaar, Lulu and Penny decided to leave the company. Lulu somehow managed to assure her father that she will be fine and protected while with Penny, and they moved to La Noscea, then settled in the Mist for a while. There they lived together and tried to also have some adventures.
Life was great until one day when Lulu was suddenly pulled into the Void. She found herself surrounded with Voidsent and in a pool of blood. She didn't know how she got there, but she was faced with a big Ahriman. Due to having some experience with facing Ahrimen, she managed to stand her ground. But luckily was saved when Koko managed to project her own avatar into the void and wisp her out of there. But in the process, she managed to capture one voidsent... Scally. He was there and seemed somehow linked to Lulu being pulled in. When they got back into the Overworld, Scally was made Koko's slave. Even though the Ahriman seemed to struggle against it at first, in the end he complied. But that day woke the Voidseed inside Lulu, and her magical potential started growing immensely. It soon became apparent that any time Lulu would get emotional, the aether around her would react to it, be it in the form of fire or ice magic. This in the end led to her becoming wary of contact because she didn't know how the aether around her would react. It all came down to one pivotal moment when in a skirmish, her father, who decided to take up the mantle of an adventurer to appease his daughter, was stabbed and died. When Lulu saw his body, the aether around her reacted in a form of a blizzard. She was only soothed after Koko reached inside her mind and calmed her down. But unfortunately, this made Lulu afraid that she might hurt Penny one day, so she told him that they can't be together anymore for at least a while. Koko, who she now trusted was the only person that can help her, lead her north. To Ishgard. On their journey, they were joined by Nananomi Nomi, and the trio's first stop was Ishgard, after which they moved further, towards Sharlayan. But on their way, they learned the truth about the Voidseed, as one night while camping in the Dravanian Forelands, Scally returned to the camp and started a ritual that would open a portal to the Void. In one moment, Lulu was being pulled into it again, while the Voidseed completely awoke inside her. Koko at that time used blood magic to exorcise the Voidsent. Even though Lulu was saved, she was scarred for life at that moment. As the Voidseed exited her body, it overwhelmed her with aether, making her blind in one eye and turning her heart shaped tattoo into a heart shaped scar. Her hair caught slightly on fire as Scally was holding onto it while dragging her into the portal. Luckily, Nomi jumped in to help and cut her pigtails off, thus releasing her from Scally's deadly grip. This event marked the end of Lulu's journey into Sharlayan and Koko, seeing that she has no more use for the girl, sent her home. After a few days of journey, she entered Thanalan and headed straight to the Goblet, where she collapsed in front of the entrance and was then carried into the E.R.A. Estate. She was treated for her injuries there and soon offered the opportunity to join them.
