Character
She was born in a small village out in the Sagoli desert of Thanalan with her brother and mother, A old knight of Ishguard lived in the village and would tell her tails is he did chores for her an she did them happy she was often sound making a rocket at night by making her own training around with target dummies for her home made arrows and smacking them with her wooden sword and a from beam she claimed was a spear. Living a life in the sands wan't easy for her kin but she lived along side Hyur, Elezen and other Miqo'te, often times her village was over looked by the invading war having no reason to be attacked and travelers of all kinds would come there to simply look for work or sell there wares. Tana and her brother would spend the days searching the sands for treasure to dig up or monsters to hunt when they where only the age of 8, It was normally a bomb shell or some merchant forgotten junk but as they got older there finds became more and more rare and impounding from the days of small works and a broken Drake hide to a full dead drake for the village to enjoy a night of meat and a old chest full of old jewels they could sell for water and clothes.
But then the day struck that the world was destroyed, Bahamut returned from his moon prison as Tana and her brother watched from a far off cliff, the world and her village burnt away in ash that night. The following day her brother had vanished leaving the camp she had made in her village ruins soon she herself left gathering all of her made weapons and a set of leather armor she had made from drake hide at the age of 17 her life started anew. She headed for Ul'dah and for a while she was only street rabble, stealing coin and robbing vendors for food an coin she then got enough money to buy a real Spear and Sword after only three months in the city she demanded to be let into the Immortal flames days on days of her yelling at the recruiters telling her she had no reason to join due to her being well known as a crook by the guards of the City the flames turned her down. For days she waited just outside never moving and before finally Raubahn Aldynn told her to pick up her blade and to challenge him in the arena, the two fought for not very long Tana being a unskilled and self trained warrior she lacked the skill Raubahn had and the duel ended when she was smocked to one side of the arena but Raubahn told her to head to the flames and get dressed of a patrol upon asking why she showed her a small sword cut on his arm, she had struck him and that was all he wanted for her show of skill.
A year had passed as she was in the City and the word was still recovering Tana's skills as a fighter had grown with her Sword and spear though she has gained the ire of Flames recruits seeing as she enjoyed solo patrol and was more brash and reckless in her attacks, Once she had her night off she over her a few flames talking about her as she scuffled being a box to hear she over herd them talking of her skill and how they wished ill on the miqo'te and wanted her just to be off with the clans in The Shroud so they would no longer be dealing with her. Taking this to heart Tana soon left the City state with tears in her eyes ad her bag on her back she left for The Shroud, long was her journey but she quickly made a name in the woodlands defeating bandits and poachers in the woods and as well being the most fish loving Miqo'te out there she arrived in the City-state, the first thing on her list was to be recruited by a local Lancer master a old Elezen when fancied the bars and women alike then his own guild after a she begged and bowed before the master as well as a close encounter of the rump kind he agreed to train her and train he did for the next four years. After she was well adjusted to Gridania she knew she had to take on a job and her Master agreed and told her of the Twin adders as they would be perfect for both her training and her duty. As the years past Tana grew stronger in mind and body the Elezens training was harsh on her body but Tana did not fancy herself makeup and frilly dresses as most girls her age instead she focused on her body making her stronger faster and the best fighter she could be but her Master grew weaker an older with age and before she knew it he was on his death bed he had become a father to Tana one she had never known before and he saw her the same way as a daughter, before his final breaths he told her of the Dragoons and that he "long left the war" in the north but they could make her stronger with a Lance then he ever could and that she must seek them out to finish her training, Tana agreed an just in the final moments watched as the life left his eyes and he peacefully passed on with his one and only daughter.
After a night of sobbing she had laid her masters body to ash and spread him among the trees watering them with her still flowing tears all before she packed her things and was never seen for a long time going to the North.
