[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, along with her friend Chichamu Chamu. They decided to visit the Thaumaturges guild, but when they entered the place, they came face to face with a Voidsent. A mad thaumaturge decided to summon a Voidsent as one of his final acts. As Lulu and Chamu walked in, the Voidsent, wounded and weak, attacked Chamu, then grabbed Lulu and with it's final strength managed to plant a part of itself inside her, a so called Voidseed. Chamu died in the attack, but Lulu was left alive. 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 built 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.
PreludeLife 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. The Hooded StrangerAfter settling in with E.R.A., Lulu developed a relationship with a Lalafell named Nunupu Nupu. The two used to be sort of rivals, because Nunu was Penny's ex girlfriend, as Lulu was now as well. Realising that they have much in common, they started by being friends, but eventually became more. At that time, the E.R.A. estate started being watched by a hooded figure, and several members of the household started receiving mysterious letters. The letters contained riddles about a location. Lulu, Nunu, Reiko, Rei Wakeflame and Nicole Desborough also received letters with packages containing hempen hats. As they gathered, Videra Svenay joined them in chasing the sender of letters, deeming that they need protection. After decyphering the letters, they were led into the Red Labyrinth, where they met a hooded stranger. The cave also contained several summoning circles, and a lightning aspected barrier around the shrine to Nald. They were told that the hooded stranger used to be a powerful thaumaturge who initially started the summoning spell that Lulu accidentally completed in the events of the Night of Ahrimen. They were also told that Scally is back and that he now possesses the Voidseed, which is actually an egg containing a Voidqueen. A creature that can spawn an army of Voidsent. And if that happens, Scally would be in control of it. After agreeing that Scally needs to be stopped, they were sent into Ishgard in search of an ancient tome containing powerful knowledge that can help them remove the wards in place around Scally's hideout. The truth about the tome's real location revealed that it has been deemed to dangerous and moved north, towards Dravanian Hinterlands, into the Great Gubal Library. The Goblin TroubleThey continued from Ishgard, and into Dravania. There they encountered a goblin named Knowsix who warned them about what he described were cultists. What was the most worrying part was that the cultists had Ahrimans with them. The party rightfully concluded that this has something to do with the whole ordeal because the goblin said the cultists were headed the same way Lulu and the others were. Unfortunately, the cultists were now blocking the way into the Dravanian Hinterlands. Luckily, Knowsix knew a secret way in, but he would only show them the way if they helped him get a hat that was meant for his daughter back. After sneaking into a dragon occupied cave, the party retrieved the hat and were then showed the way into the Hinterlands. The Voidsent LibraryThe green lands, or Dravanian Hinterlands, were a new home to some, while the others returned after getting ready for the continuation of the journey. The Great Gubal Library was on the horizon, but so was danger. After meeting up just outside Idyllshire, and Nicky showing off her newly appropriated goblin magitech armor named Gob, they met up with Knowsix. He told them that they needed to be careful, that the cultists he saw proceeded towards the Library and will probably wait for them there. The group decided to split up. Videra flew on her chocobo to scout ahead, while the rest continued on foot through Idyllshire and around to the Library. After evading the wildebeests on their way, they came to a bridge that leads up to the Library. There they heard sounds of battle coming from the Library. They obviously weren't alone, and these sounds were worrying. After scouting ahead, Videra and Rei saw two Ishgardian Elezen, members of the Holy See, batling four cultists. There were also slumbering Voidsent nearby, but they weren't moving. After figuring out that they'll need to help the Elezen in order to get inside the Library, they rushed to their aid. They found out that the Elezen were here to guard the Saint Endalim Tome, which was what they were looking for. The tome, deemed to be too dangerous to be kept in Ishgard, was sent to the Hinterlands to be studied by the Sharlayans long ago. But when the Sharlayans left, they left the tome and the Holy See sent two to guard it until they could decide what to do with it. The two Elezen; Deston Denomme and Isolde Amiot; were the ones who were sent. Deston was a veteran in the battle against the forces of evil, and Isolde was a powerful mage and a healer. But Deston was injured in the battle against the cultists, leaving Isolde to battle them now and try to heal Deston at the same time. An agreement was made. The group helps defeat the cultists, and the two would allow them to use the tome, but only once. After deciding that only four could enter the Library, leaving two behind to battle, they entered. Lulu, Nunu, Videra and Rei entered the Library, while Nicky and Reiko stayed behind, fighting the cultists and buying time for the Library group. Once inside the Library, they started their search, only to be met by a lot of wild life and voidsent inside. After defeating a lot of enemies, the group made it to the last room, where they found the tome. It was guarded by a living, breathing, walking and punching... giant book like enemy. At this point, after fighting several animated writing tools, they weren't surprised. It was a hard battle, but they succeeded in the end. Though, some were injured. Once they got the book, they were met with flying... brooms. A short conversation revealed that the brooms were here to clean the place after being ordered to do so by their master and maker Matoya. A witch that lives nearby. The brooms even had names: Sticklefritz, Twiggy, Cleansweep, Dusty, Crooky, Besomy and their leader, Mrs. Broomster. Seeing that some are injured, they offered to help and get them to Matoya, promising that she can heal them. Exiting the Library, the group helped end the battle outside. Reiko was badly injured, so was Nicky. The Elezen were healing themselves. The brooms offered to fly them to Matoya now, since Reiko and Nicky were both in a really bad shape. Meeting Matoya was a pleasure. She showed compassion and her expertise by healing them, and giving advice. One more step towards confronting Scally was taken. With the tome in hand, the group decided to lick their wounds and get ready for the battle that loomed on the horizon. The VoidseedThe party gathered in the ERA estate to prepare for their final confrontation with Scally. With the book in hand, all they needed now is to get the spell that takes the barrier down. But, since nobody could decypher it, they decided to reach out to the hooded stranger. The party, now comprising of one new addition, Rosik, headed towards Southern Thanalan. There they met with the hooded stranger, who revealed the spell to them. Still suspicious of his true intentions, the party did accept his help, but decided not to turn their backs at him. He left them alone, for now, and just told them that they should probably bring the hats they received with them into the battle. After reaching the manor in the Shroud, they noticed a big bubble barrier around it. Rei used the spell from the tome and after some resistance from the inside of the bubble, the barrier was taken down. Once the party reached the gate, they were in for a gruesome sight. The ground was littered with bones and void pitch. There were several Ahriman minions patrolling the grounds, and above them was a series of tubes all leading towards the manor. On the front of the manor, on the wall just above the balcony was a cocoon, and the tubes led to them. Upon closer inspection, it was revealed that the tubes were made out of human intestines, quite possibly from the willing sacrifices of cultists. Up on the balcony, a giant Ahriman lay, a few tubes leading into it's mouth. The party attacked. After a long and bloody battle in which Nicky was set on fire by Videra and blown up by her own bombs, causing Rei and Milly to use their once in a lifetime opportunity to revive someone, the giant Ahriman revealed itself. It was Scally. And he was angry. Now more powerful than ever, Scally attacked the group, injuring several of them. But Lulu, Nunu and Reiko worked together and in the end defeated him, taking his eye out. Only... at that point, the cocoon burts open, revealing a void queen. It was the former Voidseed, now fully grown. She tried to escape into the Void to start making an army, but was stopped by Reiko, who casted a lightning spell towards the portal, closing it. The Voidseed, now pissed off, summoned some voidsent to give her a chance to escape, but was stopped by the trio and eventually defeated when they all put their attacks together into a single super attack, blowing her up from the inside. With the eye of ahriman in hand, the party retreated to Gridania to be healed, before they return to the hooded stranger one last time. But as they were leaving, they didn't notice that there was a slight twitch and shallow breathing coming from... Scally's body. The Red EyeOnce healed, the group came back to Goblet to finally rest. Scally was defeated, Voidseed gone, all that was needed now was to return the eye to the hooded stranger. At this time, Bexy and Max returned from their vacation, and finding out that some of the company members got hurt in an adventure, gotten curious. Bexy especially wanted to see the eye. Knowing that an artifact such as that, the eye of an ahriman, could be very powerful, Bexy decided to play it safe, and not let the stranger have it. The stranger grew impatient and sent out another letter, telling them to come to him, to bring the eye. Bexy took charge now and ordered everyone to gear up and took them to the stranger, leaving the eye in a safebox back in Goblet. They came to the cave once more, meeting a familiar sight of the stranger at the statue. Still hiding behind the barrier, still waiting. Once there, they asked him what he needed the eye for. The stranger told him that it belongs to him and that he needs it to be complete again. After a conversation in which he told them that he was a part of a secret thaumaturge order called Red Eye Order, and that he was assigned to summon a voidsent in Thanalan when Dalamud was falling, but failed because he was killed by a Garlean explosive device in the cave, Bexy knew that he shouldn't be trusted. A secret order is already not a good sign. A secret thaumaturge order... double so. The stranger grew impatient once more and asked them for the eye. Bexy refused. The conversation took a turn and the stranger revealed his true intention. He wanted to summon more voidsent with the eye and control them. And he wasn't stopping now. He found out where the eye is and trapped the group in the cave, then teleported to Goblet. The party managed to free themselves and tried to teleport, but no luck. The aether in the place was being drained by the barrier. Luckily, they were followed by the most uncommon ally. Matoya's brooms. The brooms recognized the trouble they were in and offered to help by flying them back to Goblet, where they faced the stranger one final time. Just as he reached the company house. The battle commenced and he summoned a horde of undead. Luckily, the party fend them off and then focused on the stranger. At that point, another ally came into the battle. The Elezen duo - Deston and Isolde. They came to Goblet in search of their tome and happened upon the battle. With their forces combined, the stranger was finally defeated. Sighing with relief, party thanked the gods it's over. Some got injured, but Isolde managed to heal them. But there was one more spectator of the whole thing. A strange, hooded Lalafell, watching in the distance. He was noticed at the end of the battle, just as he was about to leave, and was immediately confronted. The Lalafell revealed that he's not confrontational and that he was just intrigued by the whole ordeal. He also warned them about the eye artifact, that it may be prudent to destroy it. After asking who he was, he said he was just a thaumaturge, but commendated them on their achievement and said that the Red Eye Order is fairly pleased that the Hooded Stranger is defeated. After being ordered by Bexy to leave in peace, he did, while the rest of the party retreated to the house. But the warning lingered. The eye was now in the possession of the company and... the Red Eye Order was watching. -to be continued-
