Friends
- ● E'yami Amane - E'kari's protective fraternal twin sister, older by 7 minutes. E'yami has always been a strong source of strength, comfort and adventure as the two have grown. Though she has a very tomboyish and tough outer shell, E'kari knows that her sister is actually very caring and sensitive--always putting the needs of others before herself; and that is what makes her E'kari's hero.
- 💑 Vektis Sol - E'kari's boisterous, free-spirited and loveable husband. When they first met she admired his self confidence--often shyly observing him kicking down doors to shout his own name at people. There are few in the world who can raise E'kari's spirits like Vektis can. The two became close friends and then a couple shortly there after. Though many people see his behavior as a nuisance, E'kari celebrates her husband's off-beat mannerisms--unless of course they prove to be dangerous. She loves him to the end of the world and back. The two are married and have a child together. "Yes, you have been informed correctly. Vektis is, indeed, the bestest." - E'kari Sol
- ● E'kira Sol - The infant daughter of Vektis and E'kari, also commonly referred to as Kira. This tiny mixed breed of Keeper and Seeker has been though much hardship in her short life. E'kira is the sole survivor of a litter of three, making Vektis and E'kari very protective of her. Regardless of whatever situation she's in, E'kira tends to cry very little. With all the love that surrounds this kitten, E'kari believes her child has a bright future. Recently Vektis went to the Dalamiq household and arranged potential betrothal for Kira with Enkh and Camille's future offspring. Wait---what?!
- ● Nicholas - NPC - The ever-present summoned companion of E'kari. This carbuncle has been with E'kari throughout the Seeker's entire life as a sort of therapy animal, helping to keep her anxiety in check. With a gem layered with complex geometries: Anabel Nack made it so he and his sister creation--Whackara--could form memories; and with that, personalities. Nick is generally gentle and quiet, with a keen ability to sense people's emotional needs. As such, he tends to gravitate to people whom he suspects need comfort. Nick is aware of his own artificial intellegence and often grapples with his place in the world, as well as the loneliness that comes from his own existence. "Ploo!" - Nicholas Nack
- ● Max - NPC - This little creature was picked up by E'kari some time ago when she was ordered by her master at the time, Zarilin Feathermoon, to extract a hundred imp wings. Upon snatching this infant imp out of the sky the Seeker felt remorse. Rejected by his kind after he was rereleased he has since become E'kari's companion and a member of the Sol family. He travels safely among the masses often using glamour or doll bodies as disguises.
- ● Anabel Nack - Author, scientist, surgeon and parent. This quirky and frightening alchemist is the adopted mother of E'yami and E'kari. Nanabel Nabel by birth, she almost always goes by her pen-name "A.B. 'Nack'". Though her child rearing methods were always questionable at best, the most indisputable fact of it all is that Nack loves both of her girls very much. She is not above employing dark methods to ensure this mad-scientist keeps her loved ones safe. This lalafell's haunting laughter was picked up by E'kari as she was growing up. "Kuhuhuh....." - Anabel Nack
- ● Reina Sol - E'kari's half Keeper half Raen sister-in-law. She is the first person from Heartwood that the twins ever met, quickly taking the girls under her wing and giving them a place to stay. It was because of Reina that E'kari met Vektis. E'kari admires Reina as a strong and together person.
- ● Snowy Sol - E'kari's full miqo'te sister-in-law. Even before the two were related by marriage, E'kari has had a definite soft spot for this girl-genius in her heart. The two worked together in the clinic for some time, rather closely. In one occasion the two preformed life saving surgery on Vektis. E'kari's only qualm is that she fears this teen might be too relaxed about the dangerous world around her at times--but maybe that's just the anxiety talking.
- ● Nyscera Alarone - This mistress of shadowy death is a close friend of the twins' adopted mother. She is considered an aunt to E'kari and E'yami. Early on in E'kari stay at Heartwood, the dragon-riding assassin took E'kari, Bennett and Snowy in as pupils for physical and mental training. While it was grueling and at times crushing, E'kari owes her martial arts ability solely to these lessons. Nyscera taught E'kari the value of teamwork and also her how to be unphased by negative elements in her life.
- ● Rath Alarone - Nyscera's aloof husband--and by proxy--the twins' uncle. This applesauce-loving dark knight is the one that hired E'kari to work as the company alchemist--in no small part to do with the potent pain killers she was able to make for him after a fight that nearly ended in his death. He always seems have a joke lined up, even in the most bleak of situations.
- ● Bennett Cooper - E'kari's teammate and--since his adoption by Rath and Nyscera Alarone--cousin of sorts. E'kari sees Bennett as the shining future of their free company. While he makes mistakes and has a ways to go before he can truly master any of his arsenal of weapons, E'kari firmly believes this young boy is going to do great things. Could young Master Bennett be a something more than the average fighter...? "Cooper is Super..!" - E'kari Sol
- ● Conrad Godsbane - This initially frighteningly large Ala Mhigan is actally the godfather of E'kari and Vektis' young daughter, E'kira. The four of them, as well as Argent Sage, all take up residence in the same house in the Mist. Conrad has obviously weathered the storm of many conflicts that have hardened his exterior. Despite his gruff demeanor, E'kari finds him to be a wonderful person.
- ● Argent Sage - This skilled and no-nonsense medic is the wife of Conrad. While the Ala Mhigan drill sergeant may strike fear into the hearts of many, E'kari has the sneaking suspicion that this Roe may actually be the tougher of the pair. With luck and no small measure of hard work, E'kari hopes to become at least half the woman Argent is. This sentiment is not merely limited to stature. She blushes deeply when called "Mee-maw".
- ● Tustin Lafell - The first moment E'kari saw this lalafell he was being arrested on the free company lawn for the attempted armed robbery. Later when he returned to make his peace with Heartwood the two met and over time became close companions. Tustin's street-savvy, wild and hot-headed demeanor contrasts E'kari's bookish, nervous, awkwardness in a very positive way. This Dunesfolk left Heartwood some time ago to make something of himself out in the world. Since then he has begun studying medicine. He remains, to this day, one of E'kari's most treasured and beloved friends.
- ● Tynos Riller - This towering black mage initially greatly frightened E'kari upon their first meeting. Perhaps it was his scar, his serious expression or his sheer size--regardless, she now knows him as a very kind-hearted and family oriented leader. He sacrifices much of himself to keep Heartwood's members safe--and frankly--works too hard. It would be a shock to find him away from the clinic for longer than a month. It's safe to say, E'kari's pharmacy has a special 'Tynos Budget' for the small fortune it takes to keep this misfortune prone Elezen on his feet. "My goodness..! Hurt again, Master Tynos...?" - E'kari Sol
- ● Cioccolato Stella - Cioccolato, or Lady Cio as E'kari calls her, works as a maid and nanny in the Sol-Godsbane household. This charming and kind healer can often be seen sporting pastel colors and traveling around in the company of her Demon Brick, Cenere, which is a close friend of Max. E'kari has always been very fond of this miqo'te since her arrival and is one of the few she trusts to care for Kira and Max in her absence.
- ● Kaiya Ailbhe - The librarian, chief of medicine and over-all brains of Heartwood. E'kari admires the patience of this woman but also feels horribly guilty that the actions of her free company have driven Kaiya to take up smoking. Occasionally E'kari will bring Kaiya cinnamon sticks en masse as an attempt to give her something roughly cigarette shaped to hold and suck on. It is unknown if Doctor Ailhbe actually enjoys these or if she is merely humoring E'kari. Hopefully at the very least she is not being driven to smoke those as well...
- ● Zana Amaro - An aloof gunslinger and self proclaimed alley-cat. Despite being told not to, E'kari still insists on respectfully referring to this miqo'te as Lady Zana. When this woman is armed and in a foul mood . . . heaven help her target. E'kari has seen Zana rip a man's arm clean off. However Zana does also have a soft side. When E'kari was gravely injured in an attempt on her life, Zana stationed herself in the clinic to watch over her.
- ● Moralee Relen - Known to E'kari as "Mordry". This Au'Ra woman is rather complex for many reasons. Regardless E'kari cares greatly about Moralee and Mora in equal measure--although Mordry's "Moralee-half" is more familiar to her. Some time ago Mordry required E'kari's help with a somewhat risky task. This evoked the ire of her usually perpetually cheerful husband. Vektis has yet to forgive Mordry to this day, which fills the Seeker with guilt and remorse. However, because of that mission, E'kari learned how to brew a special and ancient potion she dubbed, "The Draught of the Dreamwalker".
- ● Jake Jakkya - A red-lenses wearing void-mage who has spent a great deal of his life as a pit fighter. This spellsword is particularly close to E'kari's adopted mother, Nack, which makes him a brother of sorts. E'kari sorely wishes he would be less devil-may-care in demeanor at times, or at least care a bit more about his own life. She's always pleased when he pops up unharmed now and again. This former criminal has been blacklisted from Heartwood for his criminal debts to the Syndicate--though he has since paid them back in full, becoming an ally to the group.
- ● Ash Valken - The tall, brooding brother of Nyscera who has a strong dislike for Rath. E'kari met this former bandit spying on her a few times. Eventually the two had a sit-down conversation and became friends--which was a new thing for the Au'Ra. E'kari taught Ash how to play a grasswhistle, fixed his broken hearing-aid and engaged in a playful spar. Somehow, in one way or another, most of their interactions end in awkward sexual-tension. The day Ash left Heartwood, E'kari gave him a necklace made from a strap of her doctor's bag to remember her by and encouraged him to follow his dreams.
- ● Neville Synch - This good natured marksman is the mate of Zana Amaro and the best friend of E'yami Amane. Over the period she has known him, this man has done a lot for E'kari's family which she could never repay. Though she does not know him too well personally she trusts him fully regardless. She always gets a chuckle out of the banter between Neville and Vektis.
- ● Vahn Quietfury - A sweet little boy with a curious connection to an elder dragon. E'kari first met the half lalafell on a caravan mission that was attacked. In the absence of his own mother, the Seeker would often look after Vahn when his father was away. One day when Vahn was playing with some of the other boys in the company yard he exhibited dangerous abilities. He and his father were sent away for the potential danger they posed. E'kari still loves Vahn like a son.
- ● Brandon Stormstrider - The Hyur father of Vahn Quietfury. E'kari met Brandon a short time after Vahn. The two became close friends, as the miqo'te was one of the few Heartwood members Brandon trusted. She would often do simple favors for the father and son to make their lives easier such as cleaning or bringing home pineapples. Upon their leaving to a new safehaven the Seeker found herself deeply saddend, however Brandon still sneaks over to the company on occasion. Brandon has placed E'kari under the protection of his men known only as "The Rogues".
- ● Enkhjargal Dalamiq - This stoic summoner is actually E'kari's master. He took her under his wing when she first arrived to Heartwood and had to terrorize her into being able to use her magic for anything beyond healing. His methods worked and looking back, E'kari owes him all of the strength she possesses now. Beyond that, she thinks he is a wonderful person who has natural ability with children. Who knew!
- ● Camille Everardi - Camille is Enkhjargal Dalamiq's wife and a talented mage, among many other things. E'kari has seen Camille fight in more than one way in the past with spars. She found this woman to be a strong female rolemodel for her in the past when she was just learning to fight--and still looks up to her to this day. E'kari couldn't be happier that her master and friend found happiness in each other's company.
- ● Xihvi'ir Valathri - Xihvi'ir, or 'Ashy' as the others have taken to calling him, is a kindly harp-player that has come into the service of Heartwood. Though E'kari doesn't know of his personal dealings in any intricate regard--other than his past as a gambler--she knows she can trust his character, as he is well loved by Nick. The Keeper has always loaned a helping hand to the company whenever a need arose, for that E'kari finds herself very grateful to her new friend.
- ● Alistar Stormfist - Found by Heartwood on the road to Little Ala Mhigo, this former Garlean slave was near death and wearing a magitek collar. With no where else to go and no life to return to, this gentle giant returned with the caravan to the Heartwood Homestead.
- ● Lucinda Kovix - This kindly and capable, Ishgardian drifter met Doctor Sol as she was returning from conversing with the Everschade and her husband's chocobo ran off. Lucinda and E'kari worked together to catch the bird and got to talking about Lucy's need for work and also to find her missing brother. The Miqo'te has since come to stay at Heartwood which has overjoyed E'kari.

Acquaintances
- ● Sakeru Wakeru – This unsuspecting looking delivery boy has a dark past under the surface. A time ago, Sakeru divulged a portion of his history to E'kari and a few others. Oddly enough, she ended up trusting him more after learning he was a trained assassin. She was quite sad to see him leave but remembers him fondly. Wherever this lalafell goes two things are a certain: death and dinner.
- ● Narumi Kotokaze - More commonly referred to as "Kota". E'kari met this Maelstrom affiliated bounty hunter on the road when she was set upon by highwaymen--which Kota easily dispatched. Since then the Raen has been promoted to first lieutenant of the Storm-guard and assigned to work as the handler of the former pirate Skyfwyb. The officer comissions her medicine from E'kari's "Alchemist's Alley".
- ● Akiyuki Okuma - The large, quiet, but overall pleasant husband of Cio who has joined Heartwood since his marriage to the plucky, pastel nursemaid. This reserved Au'Ra is a welcome addition to the family.
- ● Kenoni Eien’no - The betrothed of her friend Moralee. A stern and stoic acquaintance but never the less, E'kari admires his loyalty and commitment to Modry. She hopes the two will have a wonderful life together with their child.
- ● J'edite Shedai - A fellow enthusiast of martial arts that spends most of her time roaming Thanalan seeking glory for the Jackal tribe. The two have had run-ins here and there as J'edite was on hunts and once sparred under the Sultan tree. The Seekers employ very different styles of their own making: while E'kari fights with her heavy handed "Golem Step" ideal for doing battle with armed and armored foes; J'edite uses fast kicks transitioning into fluid jabs in her "Fire Dancer" style that proves to be the bane of slower opponents. As it stands the two are friendly rivals.
- ● Alpon Adpon - The Pink Punisher! E'kari has met this "battle-chef" in passing more than once. The lalafell's skill in combat seems to rival his culinary prowess.
- ● Namaka Ebisu - A strange and sweet water-sprite who lives in a fountain. You want tree slugs? Because this is how you get tree slugs.
- ● E'vehlke Sohj - A Seeker with a strange accent and a somehow familiar face. Unbeknownst to either party--these two are blood relatives.
- ● Sokhatai Borlaaq - This huntress is the wife of E'vehlke Sohj. She has a very specific way of talking. E'kari onced picked her brain about adventure and Au'Ra culture. She finds her delightful!
Disliked
- ● Tharl Oom Khash - NPC - A being made of corruption who takes his name from his place of creation. While to most guardians of the Shroud he would be a natural enemy anyway--this thing has taken a special and terrible shine to tormenting E'kari and all of Heartwood. His track record of terrible deeds is staggering and body count ever on the rise. His most memorable in E'kari's mind were her children, Sagu'a and Cize. The vengeful mother aided in his demise by pummeling him with special stones--from Tynos and Kaiya--she formed into barbaric gauntlets.
- ● The Pumpking - NPC - This strange and otherwordly being was initially just an unsettling presence that occasionally appeared in the Heartwood halls offering bargains for steep moral prices. It was not until this squash-headed man manipulated Tustin Lafell into a contract that he became E'kari's enemy. The Seeker used excessive force against the entitiy, beating him into a puddle of black ooze. He has since returned to haunt Heartwood, though has stifled a sum of E'kari's animosity toward him by fixing her carbuncle's shattered gem and helping finish off Khash for good.
- ● Skyfwyb Aergankawyn - E'kari was not fond of this woman from the start. Their first meeting was a negotiation for, the captured; Cioccolato Stella. Since then the dastardly pirate queen has murdered the mother of her beloved friend Bennett Cooper. E'kari was glad to hear of her sting and arrest by the Maelstrom. The Seeker is currently unaware of the demon-pirate's romantic involvement with Officer Kotokaze. If she did she would be very unhappy about it.
- ● Nevrynn Alarone - This poor relationship may have more to do with E'kari than the red-haired ninja, in all honesty. Nevrynn is the off and on boyfriend of E'kari's twin sister, E'yami. In the few times they've met he has been very relaxed, casual and trickster-like, which only pushed E'kari's buttons. In the end, most of the animosity mostly comes from the Seeker being an overprotective of E'yami's feelings.
