Basic Info

Hachi Ten'ahn (hAH-chEE ~ ten-AHn) is a Keeper of the Moon female who is best known for her two toned hair and insatiable curiosity. She currently resides in Limsa Lominsa working as an errand runner in the lower decks of the city. She is never short on energy or words, which can make her a real handful. However, despite the energy Hachi demands of those who cross her path, she is a fiercely loyal companion to the bitter end.

History

Hachi is a member of a small Keeper tribe originally from the north eastern part of the continent. The first years of her life were relatively peaceful, living amongst her sisters and brothers in the comfort of a rich forest that surrounded a deep river. It was when the Garlean Empire made a large push to expand into the city-states that her tribe's home and way of life was threatened. It was only a matter of a few short years before their forest home was overcome by the empire and they were forced to flee.

Her family was able to secure passage aboard an airship that would fly them safely to the distant Limsa Lominsa, where many of their cousins had begun a new life years ago. However, in route, the airship encountered a severe tempest. The ship crashed into the channel below that separated Limsa Lominsa from the main continent. Miraculously, Hachi survived and drifted upon a piece of the wooden wreckage until she was spotted and pulled from the water by a young Hyur named Grey. Grey's family housed Hachi while waiting to see if any survivors stepped forward to claim her. None did.

Days turned to weeks which turned to months, and then years. Hachi remained with Grey's family, working with young Grey doing odd small jobs at the docks of the nautical city's port. While Hachi had come to enjoy her life in Limsa Lominsa, all was not well. Though Grey's mother was kind and gentle, his father was not. Heated arguments between Grey and his father would quickly escalate, though Hachi was always ushered away by Grey's mother. On one occasion, however, Hachi witnessed Grey's father strike Grey. Hachi, who had formed a close bond with the hyur, did not hesitate to jump to Grey's defense. She attacked Grey's father, though was easily pushed aside and in the fray was injured. Enraged, Grey overpowered his father and sent him packing. Ever since, Hachi has helped Grey to care for his mother as if she was her own.

Hachi was content to continue living day to day life in Limsa Lominsa when she encountered a curious Seeker of the Sun who claimed to own a ship...
