Biography

Childhood

Born to two former adventurers, T'hakuya Takegawa and Shirae Kozakura, T'rhaki was brought up in a warm and cosy house in the Mist. He was a curious and lively child with a love for exploring and would spend his days playing on the sandy shores and windy meadows of Lower La Noscea accompanied by his mother's carbuncle, Maru. Growing up amongst adventurers, he was regaled with fantastic stories by his parents and their friends of forests, deserts, and giant monsters across the sea, and he dreamed of one day embarking on his own adventures to see these places himself. As he grew older, T'rhaki's parents began teaching him the basics of both martial and magical combat and his mother took charge of most of his schooling. He was taught the history of Eorzea and his days playing in La Noscea were also spent learning about the various flora and fauna that lived there. Occasionally, his parents would be called to handle troubles in far off lands and he'd temporarily live with his parents' friends, looking forward to his parents' return.

Teenage

As he grew older, T'rhaki began spending his days helping his mother at Mealvaan's Gate, picking up bits and pieces of magic theory and application as she explained her research to him. Other days, he'd accompany his father, learning how to wield an axe at the Coral Tower. Under the careful eye of both his parents, he also learnt how to wield a sword but it was the bow that called to him most. He began hunting game with a friend of his parents' in order to improve his skill and sold the surplus meats, furs, and other materials to merchants in Limsa Lominsa, earning himself a name at the markets for being a competent and respectable hunter. T'rhaki soon became a well-known face around the Fisherman's Bottom where he'd often trade meat for fish and chat with the fishermen. After a while he was dragged into joining Wawalago's Pullers because of his work ethic and also because he showed great interest in it, always asking questions about fishing whenever he was down there. The fishermen thought he should experience it himself so they slapped a pole in his hand along with a box of bait and under the guidance of the guildmaster, he was sent off to catch his first fish. He immediately loved it and quickly added fish to his list of things to sell whenever he was in Limsa Lominsa.
