General Information
Maya is an exile of Doman parentage, and a mercenary in the foreign western continent of Eorzea. Her family is on good terms with several Xaela tribes, though this has earned her some derision from her fellow white-scaled sisters in the past. Raised in Hingashi, she learned the art of the spear like generations of her family before her, and can wield a lance of her own with competence - but not with great skill. She found out while rather young that her real talents lie in palaces and at high-society parties, attracting dignitaries and prying open their secrets in the back rooms of statecraft. Thus, to achieve her dream and take back her familial estate in Northern Doma, she'll need a little bit of help. Currently, her hopes for that help lie in the technological scraps of the long-dead Empire of Allag.

Family Origins
Though living in Kugane, the Kotetsu family’s roots lie across the Ruby Sea in the once-proud nation of Doma. In the country’s northern reaches, their estate’s roots reach back generations as an outpost established to keep watch over the Azim Steppe.
The name they were given, as a warrior family, reflects this origin: “ 甲鉄 Koutetsu; Eorzean Romanization Kotetsu” means “Iron-armored,” with the implication that their estate (among many others) would be part of an “iron wall” to protect the country against any incursion by the wild Xaela tribes. However, the location was undeniably a backwater - and, as decades passed with no major actions on either side, the Kotetsu clan and some tribes of their black-horned northern neighbors ended up in a much more symbiotic - even friendly - relationship instead.
Life in the north is hard, and so the farmers and tenants of the Kotetsu estate were always pleased when they were able to supplement their diet with animal meat bought from the Xaela nomads. On the other side of the equation, the tribes were able to get from the Kotetsu a number of Doman goods they would have had difficulty acquiring otherwise.
The ties between the Kotetsu and the Xaela thus run deep, with the Raen family having more knowledge than average about the other side of the Au Ra. This hasn’t come free, however - many of their Raen fellows from the more southern reaches of Yangxia have looked at them in derision because of their good standing with the “barbarian” north, even insinuating that their horns looked a little bit darker than they did a few generations ago.
