Personality
As’miya is quite a disorganised Miqo’te at heart, she’s naturally a bit messy without realising it. She has been taught how to organise documents and archiving them in a particular way: but she tends to ‘go with the flow’ and do such trivial matters in her own way, which isn’t always the best way. But she always does try her hardest, she is very hard-working once she gets focused on something she is passionate about.
She is in-between introverted and extroverted, it depends on how well she knows the person she converses with. Miya worries easily, gets nervous and this causes her to have anxieties because she assumes the worst at times. She tends to blame herself if things go wrong even if she didn’t directly cause the problem at hand.
If she knows the person well, she tends to be more calmed and relaxed around them. But if Miya isn’t familiar with people, she can be very tense and will ramble out random crap about herself without meaning to as a sign of her uneasiness.
Miyu can be very reckless and chaotic at times emotionally. She is impatient, easy-agreeable and a bit of a follower. She is quite gullible, this leads her to get into trouble and make mistakes without realising the consequences until further down the line. She can be outspoken in the sense that she often blurts out things mid-conversation without thinking things through, this has got her in trouble quite a few times.
She is trying to teach herself to bite her tongue and keep her honest opinion out of her everyday affairs so she doesn’t misbehave, but it isn’t as easy for her as she would like it to be. This leaves her to be very pessimistic and always assuming the worst before anything has even happened. She sees the world of Eorzea in a naive, child-like way. Although, she is beginning to meet people who are allowing her to see the world in a different way.
Miya is open-minded, she will try to help those who she encounters in the best way possible. She doesn’t like to upset people, and her curiosity of the world does make her ask questions which may come across as dumb and stupid to others. She isn’t as cultured as she could be, but she does understand what’s wrong and right in life.
Sometimes she is easily swayed but she generally goes with her gut feeling on things before she does them (if she hasn’t already rushed into a situation like she does usually). Miya is very faithful and loyal to those who help her, it may take her a while to realise that someone is going out of their way to help her, she comes across as a bit ignorant when you first meet her.
She trusts people too easily and this has led to her getting hurt in the past. But you’ll always see a smile on her face as she tries to hide her true feelings, but she is easily read. She really needs to let her hair down and allow herself to enjoy the finer things in life.
Personality
Miya is a rather short Miqo'te, despite her short stature her body sports exquisite curves, particularly in her chest. She has a large bust for her figure, and this is a problem when it comes to purchasing clothes as her body doesn't have a definitive size. She hates the fact that she is so small, and wishes regularly that she was taller as a lot of people tease her about her height.
Miya’s natural hair was a dirty blonde colour like other members of the Wyvern tribe, for many years it was long and curly. But recently, her friend Raven got sick of her clothes and wanting to change Miya’s look: Raven cut her long locks off and her new hairstyle looks quite messy. Although, this upset Miya at first - she eventually grew to love her new hairstyle. She has light eyes: one blue and one pink, which is a common characteristic amongst members of the tribe
She takes care of her appearance and constantly practises new makeup styles to enhance her assets. A lot of people notice how beautiful her eyes are and her face is, but she doesn’t have much confidence in her looks so she tends to experiment with makeup. She has the Wyvern tribal tattoos across her face and is covered head-to-toe with aether infused glowing tattoos after her mother had them put on her shortly after birth.
Miya has a small scar on her left hand: between her thumb and forefinger, it is a 2-3 cm and sits on the carpal bones and covers the knuckle of the forefinger slightly too. She electrocuted herself after casting a thunder spell but couldn’t control or channel it properly. The magic backfired onto her, she blacked out and is now left with a permanent reminder not to get too overconfident in her abilities.
Biography
1542-1561
Childhood
- Ban was born high in the mountains of the northern Garlean territory on a cold, winter morning. Although his biological father was absent from his life it had little influence on Bancroft as Nagra, the miqo'te woman who married his biological mother, stepped in to take up the mantle of father and provider. As a child, Ban proved himself as a menace to both his parents and the clan. He was stubborn and adventurous, often disobeying directions in favor of doing something more entertaining such as climbing trees to ambush the other children in the village.
- Eventually, the growing sense of wanderlust became overpowering. At the age of six, Ban decided to venture out on his own. As strange and unusual as it seemed to outsiders, it was generally accepted that the young men of the clan would desire to depart in favor of a more nomadic lifestyle. Ban's own departure was met with little resistance. He did not make it far, as a few days later an elezen man manage to catch him after Ban broke into his home. As it turned out, the elezen was Nichiel Ta'ea, who eventually became the father of Deirdre Ta'ea. Given Nichiel's own troubled past he instantly connected with the energetic youth and decided to take him on as an adopted son and apprentice, tempering the wild energy into something more productive. Ban eagerly took learning Nichiel's craft, working diligently day in and day out.
- Nearly a year later, Deirdre was born and Ban quickly fell into the role of brother and protector for the baby. Despite having an outlet for his abundant energy, Ban's wanderlust soon began to grow stronger once more as the days passed.
Teenage
- The peace was not to last. In 1555 the family was thrown into disarray when Nichiel's second child was stillborn. Unable to pull Nichiel from his grief, Ban took to looking after Deirdre. In the following years, Nichiel began to groom Ban for the day he would eventually take over the business. This involved learning tricks of the trade and meeting with Nichiel's own trading partners. It was during this time that the young Ban met a Highlander named Cade, the son of a merchant Nichiel often dealt with. The two grew closer but the Highlander became even closer to Deirdre. Although Ban greatly disapproved of this budding relationship and had no problems of voicing his opinions, he did not actively interfere or try to keep them apart.
- Ban and Deirdre had already become distant and in 1558 their relationship was strained even more as Ban took a more involved interest in his work, frequently taking week long trips to other cities and villages to sell his own wares, gaining gil and a reputation as a swordsmith. The last time Ban saw his family alive was in the winter of 1561, after being gone a month he returned to find the village burnt to the ground. Nichiel was amongst the dead but Deirdre and her mother were missing.
1561 - 1577
- Fueled by desperation Bancroft began to search for the whereabouts of his missing sister. The trail led him to a large city that was a few days away, much to his dismay the trail soon turned cold. Ban reluctantly remained in the city as he searched high and low for Deirdre. It was not until a few months of endless searching did Ban finally begin to lose hope. He packed what little he had and left the city to continue his search through the Garlean Empire.
- During his travels, Ban often took any job he may find in exchange for food and a place to sleep. He found himself repairing weapons, farming equipment, and doing any heavy lifting that was in demand; he was not above declining the few times when someone invited him into their bed either. It was a place to sleep and he was always gone by morning, never lingering for more than a month in any one place.
1577 - Present
