About Emadra:

Appearance

Emadra stands tall for a female Miqo'te, and she is built a little more curvy than most. Her tail is a bit short, with slightly longer fur at the tip. Her claws on her hands and feet are always in great condition, sharp and shining. Just from a glimpse most people wouldn't suspect she was a well known Chocobo breeder and raiser.

Her eyes are bright golden amber in color, with long lashes to frame them. Her hair is typically a natural red-auburn color, It is of medium length, pulled into a pony tail with bangs to frame her round, curvy face. Her face appears to have green tones under her eyes, revealing tiny vines inside the color.

Emadra has an accent that seems Gridanian in nature, but an odd drawl accompanies it.

History

No one knows about Emadra's true past. She tends to keep the past in the past, no matter the situation.

Emadra was raised in a small village in the heart of the Black Shroud that no longer exists because of defilement within the town that enraged the greenwrath, just making it another part of the forest. She was young when her town was destroyed, and since then she has been away from her family; not knowing whether they live or if they met the same fate as many others did that day. She has little memory of her past, except the significance of the feather earring that dangles from her left ear. The people of Gridania found Emadra before the creatures of the forest got to her, and had set her through the purification rights to "protect" her against the greenwrath.

Emadra went back to the location of her old village in later years, only to find that it was still dead in the area from all of the fire. No grass, no trees, no anything. She found a steel door of some sort in the ground, and kicked it open, finding a secret stash to her father's old alcohol recipe, and lots of it, filled in mason jars; which now she saves for special people, or friends, and let's them drink it. She mostly does this for fun, giggling at how drunk everyone gets from just a few sips.

It has been quite a few years since then, and Emadra has been training to become a grand healer for the Gridanians even after surviving The Calamity, and hopes to one day be the greatest chocobo rancher there is.

• • UPDATED **

Though she finally had taken on a rather large ranch, and stored many peoples' mounts and even pets in her stables, she has suddenly got rid of all of her workers, and has given the peoples' companions back - only to keep a select few. She has all but disappeared to everyone she once knew and loved. Finding her was not hard, however, as she continues to take care of the ranch and stable alone. Occasionally checking up on the greens she grew herself.

Perhaps this is what she's been doing with her time?

A Travelling Miqo'te's history:

Some bullet points of Emadra's history as a travelling Chocobo Rancher.

• She spent five years on the ocean, sailing on a ship big enough for her and the two chocobos she had at the time, it was named "Gunfox". The ruthless leader, a woman by the name of "Mirabelle", saved Emadra from drowning after a brawl with someone in the Limsa docks, seeing a bit of the Gunfox herself in Emadra. She took her out to sea, making it a difficult awakening for Ema -- as they also left her chocobos behind; so ultimately they had to go back to get them. After many hard weeks, she grew used to the pirates and their ways, as they did enjoy landing on islands for hunting treasure, allowing her chocobos to still stretch their legs(though her precious "River" could swim already). She developed as a young woman here, as she was well welcomed after showing the pirates that she was a champion drinker. She soon made friends with the lot of them after showing her drinking skills, training skills and more. She even learned more about white magic due to a new friend Ema made aboard the ship. Though her journey ended in what seemed like a bell, was five years later... she parted Mirabelle and the other's, a hug to her white mage friend, and each a mason jar filled with her secret recipe - even decorated with rope bows and each a small trinket she would carve from broken barrels and the like. Each special in their own ways.

        She wouldn't cry - this wouldn't be the last time she would see them. (age 16-21)

• She left for many moons to search for her now burnt down village inside the Black Shroud, which lead her to disappear randomly soon after.

• Emadra spent much time in Ul'dah, struggling for food and water due to running out of gil for feed for her chocobos. She once had to beg for water; but her chocobo, River, learned to hunt just to find her food at one point which struck her inspiration to teach chocobos how to battle and heal, though she had lost her strength for magic, she found a way to her village and camped there for four moons, relearning some of the things her memory had lost.. then becoming closer to the Shroud's creatures and delving deeper into her ancestor's books that survived the fires. (age 13)

        She would go back in between her traveling to polish her skills. (13-15) 

• She has been all over, even Doma some people say; but she doesn't talk much about it unless she is asked... or extremely drunk. (Which is highly improbable.)

• As Emadra got older, she saved enough gil to start buying more chocobos. Though she only started with one more... it's name was Wither, an almost black dark green colored male. She mated River with him, an egg which hatched and became Emadra's now primary chocobo, Nilix. Many don't know about Wither, there are rumors that he is running wild in the Shroud. Said to be one of the strongest chocobo anyone's ever seen. She found him in a blackmarket, being held to the ground with chains, yet he fought against them for bells. Some say he was so abused, it made him wilder and he never listened to anyone until she came along; making it easy to negotiate with the cruel hunter selling him. Some say Wither is infected with the same Green Wrath as Emadra. . .

        Though Nilix is still young, he has the perfect mix of speed and strength thanks to River and Wither's genes,
        making him the best battle companion Emadra has bred yet.

Personality

Emadra is extremely spunky, and mostly a sweetheart; very optimistic. Though she's mostly goofy and happy, she can be very serious when it's needed, and can actually be quite a good leader in rough situations. She is very forgetful, yet has much insight on life and much advice to give if asked for it. She is always up for helping other's in need.

Emadra and the Green Wrath

Now, after many years of research, Emadra decided to search for the deep dark secrets behind the Green Wrath.

It destroyed her life, killed her family and friends, and that's all she cares about. She wants to find out what caused all of this chaos in her life, and plans on getting rid of it, no matter what it takes...

After many more moons of her continued research, Emadra has found her family was known to practice beastmastery and shapeshifting; powers thought to have been lost to Eorzea. She continues to study more and more these days, and has harnessed many new skills and spells. Many of the spells she has learned, however, use much of her energy and can only be used in a pinch, as she has not mastered them yet.

        She is now known as a Green Mage. (white mage, beastmaster, and apprentice of earth-like magic)

Explaination of Emadra's Green Magic

Not many people have gotten to see her skills, and even fewer have gotten to see the spells that she has learned from her tribe's books.

• She makes training companions and wild animals simple, but only keeps her two dogs and chocobo close for battle. • She can bring roots and vines from the trees, and create ramps or ladders for her companions. Highly useful in strategic battles. • She can create her own prosthetic for broken bones, or even help heal nerve damage with thread-like vines - though insertion of the vines still requires surgery of opening the body to see the wound. (Emadra refuses to do this 98% of the time.) • If she hasn't used too much energy already, she can call upon the closest herds of animals to her during battle. • The more of her energy she uses, the more the green wrath becomes visible in her body; usually her hands start it out by turning green, then her hair or her eyes turn a milky white. She is learning how to end it early enough to where she is only blind for one sun.

        If she is taken by the wrath too much, her
        body goes through a nasty transformation -- 
        Thorns grow from her body and whipping vines
        slash everything around her violently.
        Usually ending in a cocoon of thorns
        or in a pool of her own blood.
