Short History

Life seems to happen around Zha'li... and that suits him just fine.

Youngest son of his small tribe's matron, Zha'li has lived a life of little expectation and uncomplicated routine. Highly sensitive to the voices of the Elementals, he was often left alone and without much tribal duty, wandering the Shroud as the wind seemed to guide him. He did grow to be quite the adept fisher, pulling fish from the streams and lakes within the wood for his family.

Through his wandering he also befriended a young sylph, rare as it was to find one who was curious enough about a young 'Walking One' to come out to play. The two weren't inseparable, but they became good friends, spending time together whenever Zha'li's wanderings drew him that way.

When the Calamity hit Zha'li, like everyone else, had his life and routine shaken. Though his tribe came through the disaster with few severe wounds or casualties, the sheer destruction left Zha'li shaken, the pain the Elementals felt still ringing in his ears. He stayed with his tribe while they healed, following them as they became even more reclusive.

Once satisfied his kin were safe, Zha'li left to wander once again, this time not restricting himself to the Shroud. He needed to escape the pain of the forest, willing to serve as the eyes and ears of the Elementals elsewhere. Upon leaving he also caught sight of his sylph friend, now purple in hue and in service to a primal.

Though travel has eased his heart, Zha'li still seeks more to take his mind off the troubles of his home.

Personality

Personality: Seeming relatively easy going compared to the brooding stereotype of the Keepers of the Moon, Zha'li is amiable to most conversation. He's one who would rather listen than speak, out of habit and a residual insecurity when dealing with those of other races. Kind at heart, Zha'li has an easy laugh for those who engage in jokes or light hearted banter, and patience around all manner of eccentric personalities. He is difficult to anger, though by no means impossible to disturb. Hurts and annoyances are kept close inside.

There is a certain distance Zha'li feels around others, even those of his tribe. Though he is not overwhelmed by the thoughts and emotions he feels from the elementals, he's ever aware and listening for them. As a result of this, at times he may seem preoccupied, or even disinterested in the conversations of those around him. Still, for those who do earn his trust and attention, Zha'li is a loyal companion who can be depended upon. Possessed of an ever curious mind that seems to be bottomless when it comes to new lands and tales to explore, he's almost always willing to go on an adventure, even if the safety of such a venture is dubious.

Likes: Cool weather Clear, starlit nights Listening to stories The scent of the Shroud after the rain

Dislikes: Hot sunny days Opo Opos Sandstorms

Favorites: Chocobos Fishing Exploring

Goals

• Zha'li would love to some day become a chocobo breeder, though his instincts urge him not to settle into that just yet. It is an ever alluring prospect.
• Zha'li has become quite the fishercat, and wonders if there are even greater catches yet to find.

Relationships & Affiliations

'none yet, but please contact me if you'd like to set up a bond of some sort!

Quirks

• Zha'li has been sensitive to the voices of the elementals all of his life, and has a tendency to listen for them over those right in front of him at times.

OOC Information

A lot of inspiration for Zha'li's abilities come from Sylphie and her mother of the Conjurer quest line (though hardly so tragic). Had he been raised in Gridania and given formal conjury training, he likely would have been recommended to become a Hearer.

I'm a girl irl, so if the gender mismatch bothers you I'm sorry.

Classes: Conjurer, Fisher, will likely dabble with all at some point

Jobs: White Mage
