General Information

Appearance

Strawberry blonde hair with creamy, alabaster skin, A'mida makes a striking first impression. Bright green eyes peer around her with a clever spark, a small mischievous smile often curling lush lips. She is never without a piece of fine jewelry, or several, and her clothing is of very good make, though her hair often tied high and out of her face, hinting at more practicality than not. Delicate fingers and small hands seem deft and nimble, used to subtle work.

History

Early Childhood

Mida was born to the Antelope Tribe of Western Thanalan; the first child of her mother Yara, and fifth daughter of A'khudo Nunh. Her early life was pleasant enough, and typical of most tribal Seeker of the Sun Miqo'te. She began to learn how to hunt at an early age, and when her sister, Nima, was born the two were nearly inseparable. At age six, however, their mother decided to leave the tribe in pursuit of something better for her daughters, taking A'mida and A'nima, to start a new life in Ul'dah.

City Life

The first years in the big city were the roughest for the small family. Money was hard to come by, and the streets dangerous to anyone unprepared. A'mida's mother made ends meet by selling simple bone and feather jewelry, with which both she and her sister helped to make and sell, and Mida found she had a talent for the delicate work, and quite enjoyed creating and designing the jewelry for her mother's customers.

She was soon instilled with a deep work ethic, and much to her mother's slight worry, an insatiable love for gil, all the while practicing her techniques for the craft, and while in her early years she simply helped her mother make small little kitsch necklaces and earrings, when she'd made enough money, the small Miqo'te bought a bit of gold wire, painstakingly cutting and bending it to make her very first gold bracelet.

From then on, A'mida was determined to one day become a member of the Goldsmith's Guild, and to have a shop of her own, one that would be frequented by only the richest of Ul'dah. And with much insisting, Mida's mother was able to buy a very small shop near the Sapphire Avenue Exchange. A'mida for her part, helped her mother with all she could, along with her sister; Running the front of the store, making and designing the jewelry, and keeping the books, but with whatever free time she could eek out she would work on creating the piece that would allow her entrance into Goldsmith's Guild.
