Nanagi Nagi
[edit]
Nanagi Nagi was born on the 14th Moon of the 4th Umbral Moon. She grew up in the great city of Ul’dah. Her parents, like everyone else, wanted fortune; they wanted to ensure their only child would have a successful life. Sadly, they could never make enough gil to have the wealthy life they dreamed of. Because of this, Nanagi has always wanted gil, and no matter how much she has in her pocket, it’s never enough for her. Although she is good at the jeweler trade, she is most certainly not good enough to get rich off of it. She came up with the idea that if someone was so desperate for help, they would have to pay for it. Seeing this to be the best way to make gil, she decided to live a mercenary life. Places where she will most likely be: Since Nanagi is from Ul'dah, she spends most of her time there. You can often find her in the markets, and in the Quicksand. If she isn't there then she is most likely spending a week or two in Ishgard. She has recently started training in the art of Astrology and in order to keep up with her studies, she must take trips to Ishgard. Due to the fact that she has no home there, and it can get rather expensive to rent out an inn room, she must plan her trips wisely. When she isn't in Ishgard, she will continue her studying in other places. Although she is not a fan of Limsa Lominsa, she will go there if a job requires her to do so. Thoughts about Current state of Ul'dah: She doesn't agree with the current Syndicate in Ul'dah, she believes that the current members will doom Ul'dah. She wishes to see change, and she hopes that better people who aren't just looking after themselves will be able to join the Syndicate and make a change
Nanagi's eyes share the heterochromia trait her father had. Her right eye is a deep forest green, and from a distance, it could be mistaken for black. As for her left eye, it's as pitch black as the void. She has the same hair color her mother had, a beautiful violet with lavender highlights. From a distance, her highlights could been mistaken for white highlights. Her hair is thicker, styled into ringlet curls that frame her face nicely. Although she lived in the desert all of her life, Nanagi is a bit paler than other Dunesfolk. This is likely because she spent most of her time in the shade, and hated being out in the sun for too long. She has rather prominent freckles below her eyes and on her cheekbones. Her ears are pointed, and are not too long, but not too short; about average. Her voice is soft and sounds more like a 16-year-old Midlander's. When she is angry, her soft-toned voice sounds more like a “normal-toned” Miqo’te woman.
Scars/Markings
Nanagi spent most of her youth staying hidden as well as training. As a result, she never had much social interaction with others, and she cannot seem to hold a conversation for very long when one is started with her. Due to this, she also isn't very likely to try and start up a conversation. She's a bit quiet, but she wishes she had the guts to be more talkative and extroverted. Talking to people isn't as easy as killing Amalj'aa, after all! On the chance someone starts up a conversation, she'll slowly begin to open up. As she begins to know and understand them better, she'll open up more. Her quiet demeanor is left behind, and she will talk a bit more. Once they're really friends, her quiet and somewhat shy demeanor is left behind, and she will talk to them more often on her own will. She doesn't become afraid to start a conversation or tell a little more about herself. On the contrary, her personality when dealing with mercenary work is almost the complete opposite. She acts as proper and professional as she can, so that she will leave a better impression and be more likely to be hired. First impressions are everything with Nanagi - if someone leaves a bad one on her, it's unlikely her opinion of them will change. If she leaves a bad one, it could mean a loss of money - something she doesn't appreciate.

Weapon(s):Nanagi's primary weapon is her staff. What stands out the most about this staff is the fragments of a purple shard dangling from the tip. Nanagi is very protective of this staff and will do anything to keep it with her. If, for some reason, she loses the staff, she refuses to just buy or make a new one. Her secondary weapon is her Star Globe. With Nanagi now having more experience, she is seen with her star globe a bit more often now. Combat Style:Through her teen years and even now, Nanagi has done everything she can to be the best thermaturge she can be. She puts a lot of focus one one spell so it becomes a devastating blow. She does this to make up for the fact that she can't fight up close. If someone gets too close to her, she can only hope that she can push them back with her spells and/or bring them to their knees. She does her best to ensure she has a battle strategy planned; look for any weaknesses, openings, and look around the environment. She often uses the environment to her advantage. If there is nearby wood and her enemy is just close enough to it, she'll set the wood on fire instead, getting her enemies caught in it. Once the damage has been done, she does her best to take out the fire with a few blizzard spells. Because she has spent almost all of her time making her magic stronger, her physical capabilities are poor. She can't lift things that are heavier than her for even a short period of time. Because her physical capabilities are poor, she is considered to be frail. She can't take but so many hits before going down; however, she is quite stubborn so she tends to get right back up and fight when it is probably better for her to stay down or flee. She has recently been undergoing to teachings of Astrology. She by no means a master, for she is just now understanding how that art of astrology works. The only time she uses her power outside of her training is if she doesn't have her staff, or giving a demonstration. Birth and Early Life:Nanagi Nagi was born and raised in the great city of Ul’dah. She was the only child to Teteshi Teshi and Momokofo Tatakofo. Her parents, like everyone else, wanted to make a fortune; they wanted wealth. When she wasn't playing with her parents various materials, she would often watch them work. She thought it was fastening to watch them polish rings, and inspect gemstones with the big magnifying glass. She would often help her parents with small things like arranging the jewelry that was on display to look pretty, organizing the materials, and other similar tasks. Her parents were worried about her education, so they decided that during certain times of the day, one of them would take a break from working and give their daughter 2 hour lessons a day. When Nanagi wasn't receiving these lessons, and if she wasn't assisting her parents, she would often teach herself. She was fascinated by what knowledge was in books. If Nanagi wasn't assisting her parents and didn't feel the need to teach herself, she would explore all the parts of Ul’dah, staying out of sight. She never liked being center of attention; she was shy, and so she would explore and try to stay unnoticed. She would spend most of her time hiding in the Thaumaturge guild, for she thought it was the most beautiful and amazing thing she had ever seen. Once the moon rose, Nanagi would return home, and mimic what she saw at the guild; she did this every day until she was 14. Her Teen Years:At age 14 her parents took her to the Thaumaturge guild, and asked if they would evaluate her. Her parents wanted her to go on to do great things, and they saw this as her opportunity. After several hours of training and testing, the guild master saw potential in the young Lalafell, and decided to have her join the the guild. Nanagi would spend the next 4 years going to the guild everyday to train, and become better than she was the day before. Even though she was exposed to many people, she didn't talk to a lot of the apprentices there. The only time she talked to them is if the current assignment required her to, or if she had a question. Other than that, she kept to herself. Even with her now studying at the guild, she still kept up with her lessons from her parents and assisting them with their trade. It was almost surprising that someone at her age did so much, but talked very little. She became a bit well known for being quiet, but a great helper and learner. Once she turned 18, she was given her final test. It took her 2 days to complete, but she passed. She was proud that she was able to master the art, and impress her parents. It was after she finished the test that she decided to use her power to help others; however, she felt as though if someone was really that desperate for help, and couldn't solve the problem on their own, they needed to pay. With this in mind, she thought the life of a mercenary would suit her best. She started off small, accepting jobs that required her to hunt down some creatures, delivering packages, and making sure caravans made it to their destination safety. From there, she would begin to take bigger jobs, one's that presented a challenge, ones that would help hone her skills while making gil. The event that turned her life upside down:A year later, one night while she was in Western Thanalan, she had received news of a caravan being attacked by Amalj'aa. The people who happened to be with the caravan were her parents. She left Western Thanalan immediately to investigate the scene. The caravan was destroyed, her father's dead body laid on top of small box of rings. Her mother's body was nowhere to be found. The only thing the Flames could find were Amalj'aa tracks, and the looks of something being dragged. When they followed these tracks, the tracks suddenly vanished. It was almost as if they levitated in the air and flew the rest of the way. When they returned to the crime scene, Nanagi had spotted the beautiful circlet her mother would always wear, partially buried in the sand. She took it from the sand, and place it around her head. A memento.
She hates the Amalj'aa with a burning passion. She swore to the Twelve that she would hunt down every Amalj'aa in sight, leaving none behind. It was this that made her into an excellent Amalj'aa hunter.
