History
Ni was born and raised on a farm in far Southern Thanalan and her parents, Nononi Noni and Jojonari Babanari, are very old fashioned and content with the quiet life on their farm. Ni is the only child her parents were able to have after many years of married life, some say this is a result of a curse but any mention of this is quickly quietened by her parents.
Being the only child, and somewhat frail at birth and onwards, led to Ni having a very sheltered upbringing, days often spent on the farm or in her room just reading and dancing. Her parents often giving her gifts of story books from trades with travelling merchants, she has developed many of her ideologies from these story books, believing the best of people and hoping to one day meet fairy tale type characters, such as knights, princesses, and even dragons.
As she has a weak constitution, Ni has little physical training with only some experience in helping her father perform a few tasks out on the farm. She also has little skill in preparing her own meals as her mother does not allow Ni to be in the kitchen long, as Ni can be quite accident prone. Her love of dance saw her indulging in it privately, in case it was met with disapproval from her parents.
Having been arranged to marry a young merchant that frequented the area, Ni was upset to find out her parents and her husband-to-be expected her to continue to live a quiet, obedient life on the farm. In rebellion, she packed clothes and a few story books and ran away, striking out for Ul’dah.

Other Notes
Upon meeting someone, will refer to them as Mister/Miss/Sir/etc., whichever is most relevant.
Pacifist and has not had to defend herself yet.
She has recently obtained a blank tome, which she will record all her experiences with people and out in the world. She writes not for an audience so much but for herself and anyone who wishes to know about her and the things she has come across. She carries it with her everywhere in an adequately sized satchel that has been enchanted to be fire and water proof.
Having spent most of her childhood reading on her own, sometimes her vernacular may change from regular “spoken” to a more literary sounding speech.

There are a few inspirations for the creation of Ni, the two most prominent examples being Twoflower from Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels and Vash the Stampede from Trigun. These inspirations are mostly seen in Ni's personality rather than appearance.
