Backstory
Khachi was born the only daughter of the chieftain of a small, nomadic Xaela tribe in Doma. With her mother having passed away shortly after birth, her father was left as the only one to care for her as she grew up. Although he had been hoping for a son to take over as chieftain, Khachi's father loved and cared for her just the same. From a young age, he trained Khachi in the way of the lance- just as he would have done if she had been born male. A large part of her everyday life during her younger years was the hours spent training with her father.
Her father's methods with a lance were strange when compared to any normal lancer. Khachi couldn't quite put her finger on it- only that something was different.
Although Khachi's father tried his best to please the people of his tribe, a large number of those under him detested the kind and gentle way in which he dealt with other tribes. When at all possible, he preferred to deal peacefully with Raen settlements and fellow Xaela tribes. Of course, the latter wasn't always possible, and bloodshed did occur. On the night of Khachi's 14th birthday- shortly after dinner, her father started to have intermittent surges of pain shoot through his body. Eventually, it went from being a phasing pain to a constant one- with the tribe's shaman unable to figure out exactly what was causing it as the man writhed in pain on his bed. It took only a few hours before, right in front of Khachi's eyes, her father passed away in one of the most painful ways possible. His last words, audible to all those watching his demise, were; "I want Khachi to take over."
The death of her father hit Khachi hard. He was the only person she had any connection to in the entire tribe ... And he was gone. There was no sleep for Khachi that night, or the following night. Eventually, sick of sitting in her bed, unable to sleep, Khachi donned her armor and wielded her father's spear to train. It was the only thing she knew would take her mind to a distant place, away from what had occurred two nights prior. And it worked, somewhat. Barely an hour into her session, however, Khachi found herself being approached by three of the tribe's most powerful lancers- their weapons drawn.
"As if we would let you take over as Chieftain."
It all clicked. Her father's death, the tribe's gradually building hostility toward him ... She knew exactly what happened. And yet, Khachi could do nothing but run. The teenage Auri disappeared into the forest as fast as her legs could take her- abandoning all her possessions, and the only place she could call home.
Eorzea
Khachi spent months on her own, betrayed by her tribe, and slandered as a criminal that poisoned her father's food in order to take his place as chieftain. Every Xaela tribe was out to kill her and claim the bounty on her head. With Doma no longer safe, Khachi was left with a choice. Eorzea or Garlemald? Although Doma was rather sheltered, even she knew which choice was the right one.
With nothing but her father's lance and a rusty suit of chainmail armor to her name, Khachi boarded a Hyur-run trade ship bound for Limsa Lominsa- paying for her fare by providing security and grunt work for the crew. She spent the first few months after her arrival doing odd jobs- clearing pests from a farm, providing security for caravans, and so on. Eventually, she made her way to Ul'dah, where she enlisted in the Immortal Flames for a more reliable source of work.
The Calamity
Like many others, Khachi offered her lance to the Eorzean Alliance during the Battle of Carteneau- the largest, and most bloody battle she had ever experienced in her life. When Dalamud split open, revealing the Elder Primal; Bahamut, she did something that she had promised to never do since fleeing her tribe in Doma; run. It was the choice to flee, away from the flames, away from her comrades, and away from the battlefield that spared Khachi her life.
Current
Alongside her work with the Immortal Flames, Khachi has taken on the role of an adventurer- exploring, taking the odd contract for some extra coin, and traveling around Eorzea when she isn't needed at the Hall of Flames.
Appearance
Khachi is a relatively short, lightly-built Xaela Au Ra with dark purple hair that, when down, trails down to her lower back. She often wears it in a ponytail. Though her equipment changes from time-to-time, she often wears a chainmail cuirass with goatskin gloves and boots, and a pair of cotton trousers underneath. She carries her father's lance with her at all times.
Personality
Khachi is a rather silent and independent girl. She will not speak unless she absolutely has to, refuses to rely on the support of anybody, and carries a constantly irritated and annoyed attitude about her. Despite her exterior attitude, however, Khachi is still a teenaged girl on the inside- one that is still trying to cope with the loss of her father and the betrayal of her tribe. What it would take for her to lower her proverbial shield and express that side of her, however, is unknown.
Although it doesn't show, Khachi has a slight indirect suicide complex. A part of her wants to die, however, she refuses to do it herself or simply throw her life away. Fleeing from Dalamud remains one of her biggest regrets.
Khachi has a strong ambition to become a dragoon, and both highly respects and admires all dragoons. Upon meeting a knighted dragoon in person, she can get a bit flustered- wanting to appear her best and affirm her strong desire to become a dragoon herself.
Combat
General
Khachi is highly skilled in the use of lances, spears, and other types of polearms- both from a mounted position on a Chocobo, and on foot- with the latter being her specialty. She invokes a unique fighting style taught to her by her father, which combines traditional lancer techniques with those of a lost Au Ra tribe. Alongside her lance skills, Khachi is moderately skilled in the use of shortswords, longswords, daggers, and battleaxes.
