| | Alicia deals with most of her problems with humor. She's socially anxious, cynical, and obsessive, which she tends to laugh off with sarcasm and ridiculous comments. Despite this, she's stubborn to her core and borders on arrogant. She's convinced she knows better until proven otherwise. While she is quick to listen, she's also quick to dismiss advice or information she can't agree with. | | Alicia deals with most of her problems with humor.

| | + | |
| | + | Alicia was born the fifth of eight children. Her parents soared to the heights of middle-management with the Amajina & Sons Mineral Concern which instilled in them a deep loyalty to the company. As such, every one of their children has worked for the company at some point or another and many continue to do so to this day. Alicia began as most did: a miner. She was awful at it simply because she made no real effort at the job and found it boring, repetitive, and beneath her. With all of the spare time she had not doing her job, she began to notice numerous inefficiencies and outright dangerous situations that were easily fixed. These changes, and her father's influence, were enough to not get her fired. She briefly headed an experimental project to apply Arcanism to quicken the mining process. This allowed her to spend a good year with the Arcanist Guild, where she learned that this was a terrible and dangerous idea as well as the first evidence she had a disease, disorder, or <i>something</i> that prevented her from properly using aether. Upon returning from the Guild, she began spending her evenings reading up on ways to further improve production and began to stumble upon ideas for new alloys for their tracks and carts that the company still use to this day. This is what caused higher ups to notice her. She soon found herself in the Research and Development department and an armful of promises that began to fall away the moment she signed her new contract. Her desire to work on bigger and better things clashed strongly with the company's desires, despite their initial promises. Tempers flared and Alicia found herself defacing millions of gil worth of company property and making off with all of her research that she could manage. |
| | + | |
| | + | |
| | + | Having thought not a step further than she'd taken, she found herself wandering with her meager savings. She wound up in Limsa Lominsa looking for job leads. Finding a paper detailing the 81st's recent fight against Leviathan, she was impressed. This was a big deal, and she imagined such a company would only do more and need more assistance doing it. She tracked down their leader, Rhesh'ir, and convinced him she needed her help which required surprisingly little convincing. This was fortunate, as she otherwise did a terrible job at the impromptu job interview that actually interrupted his fishing. |
| | + | |
| | + | |
| | + | Alicia was correct and the company did go on to do more and larger contracts. These contracts began to result in routine injuries and near-death experiences that dug a pit of guilt out in her stomach. She began flirting with different martial disciplines at this point, and continues to do so, having still not pinpointed a discipline that she can both perform and that speaks to her. |

It was during a time that she had a near-death experience that they really began to talk, and over time had gotten to know each other. It came as a surprise then when he asked for her hand in courtship. It came as an even bigger surprise (to many) that she accepted. There has been scarcely a time Onuma has not enjoyed being within Khairen's company, and often has to stop herself from looking overly affectionate in the eyes of the public. But recently, things went downhill when she tried to take it a step further, and the attempt was met with (what she perceives as) rejection. Ashamed and embarrassed over her behavior, Onuma was deeply hurt and has chosen to keep to herself. She is uncertain about his feelings toward her, now.

What little true confidence in herself she has began with him. |

Most of their interaction came between her instructions over his newfound abilities as a paladin but, beyond that, they've shared a quiet bond that won't be easily broken like in the past. However, Lyfriel's death crushed not only Onuma, but Rhesh'ir as well. Seeing his pain only worsens hers, and with only himself to parent Riel'a, Onuma has already vowed to watch him closely, and tend to his and his child's care. </span></span>

Onuma now expresses complete devotion toward this man; he is surely one she will blanket and shoulder for days to come. His physical condition has left her worried about how he will be able to handle being in the field in the future, and how that affects him emotionally, but she continues to have faith that he will press on.

His return and stay has since put her at ease and as such she watches him like a hawk to ensure he remains within their reach. Given the time that was needed for the two to mend over the situation, his growth as a mender, and as a person, their relationship is renewed and Onuma does all that she can to protect what she values and sees as her family. Lyfriel's death has awakened a fresh pain in Onuma, causing her to seek out ways to protect her family and watch over them. Fen'rin is one she will keep close as much as she can. | + | :<span style="font-size: medium; text-align: -webkit-center;"><font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font><span style="font-size:small;">'''[[Keaira Twinning]]''' - Alicia has had no run-ins with the woman outside of combat-related incidents, but she has been impressed by the woman's intelligence she's displayed in battle.

His trials have opened her eyes to many things. It warmed her heart when Dawson confessed that he was beginning to have a change of heart about Lotan'to. However, while she is happy to be considered a sister to this man, Onuma didn't appear to wholly approve of his relationship with Fen'rin. Since witnessing the progress of his and Fen'rin's relationship, Onuma has taken a step back, choosing not to intervene. Onuma and Dawson shared a profound sense of loss upon witnessing Lyfriel's brutal death, and now she strives for the two of them, as godmother and godfather, to assist Rhesh'ir and care for Riel'a in Lyfriel's absence. </span></span>

She at first had made the assumption that a lot of Twinning's interest lay in Rhesh'ir, which (admittedly) gave Onuma some initial and due caution, but that wariness melted away the more they began to talk. Since their friendship bloomed, Twinning has shown Onuma an insight over life that she otherwise shares the sentiment of. Onuma does not hesitate to call Keaira her friend and, more often than not of late, she confides in her. Onuma considers the circumstances and struggles they had gone through, and what the damage that pain left in their lives. In Keaira There's a dimly lit fire that threatens to blow out if but a strong wind can snuff it out, but Onuma refuses and has vowed not to let that happen.

Always a bit of a troublemaker, she has known Ferai to be both a handful and a warm-hearted person beneath the rough edges of his outer exterior. When Onuma left Ul'dah, she didn't hear from the two nearly as much. What a surprise it was when Ferai turned up on the 81st's doorstep, many moons down the path. Since then, Onuma has seen to caring for Ferai like a surrogate parent, before and after his change from a young woman to a male. Recent events have forced this role upon her, with O'lyenna's assassination. While Onuma still has trouble using the proper term for Ferai, she loves him no less. Saving him from the brink of death and helping him to achieve his freedom brought some sense of relief in her.

However, while that responsibility has shifted to another's care, the woman was surprised by Vesna's return of affections and adoration. Being able to see Vesna as a friend, and not as a servant, has put Onuma at ease. Being reminded that all was not lost made her feel all the better. She has not seen Vesna for some odd moons, and hopes that wherever she is, her friend is okay. </span></span>

She thought him the quiet and reserved sort, something she could relate to heavily. The two share a love for the path of the paladin, and through him she finds a bond that isn't easily broken. His support for her has only strengthened her, and in a way, he reminds her of Lin. She has not seen him in some time, but given their busy schedules, she thinks fondly of him and wishes him well.

From the moment they met, Onuma realized this young miqo'te had a big heart. That openness can be a double-edged blade, as has been proven in the past. She has not spoken with E'liah in sometime, but if she is given to understand the situation, that E'liah is now a young woman does not deter the Keeper. It is a welcome surprise. She still sees E'liah as a younger sibling-figure.

No amount of shaking off would pull her free of that, and as their relationship has grown just a little bigger, Onuma finds herself looking after the lalafellin girl like she would her own child. The brilliant smithy continues to interest the crafty side of her -- she has performed in ways that even Onuma has not considered of own her accord. Truly, she is both a mystery and soft-hearted angel.

She is incredibly emotional, and yet can be instantaneously intimidating in the same turn. Seeing the results of this explosive anger just once was enough to convince the Keeper that they should not earn her ire. Perhaps she'll learn more about where this hidden energy fueled by pain comes from.

Sometimes it really is just the simple things.

Like Twinning, Onuma can see through his rough exterior, and despite his attitude toward her, she can tell he exposes a genuine sense of care with the people he chose to accompany. Even if he keeps them at an arm's reach. If there's one thing she can admit about him, it's that he knows how to carve his way through their foes without hesitation.

While she couldn't understand her overly joyful nature, it didn't take long for Onuma to soften up to Mizuki, and it only made her more caring and thankful for her nature when Onuma nearly succumbed to a poison that was left to fester and eat away at her, having succumbed to an ambush out at the highlands. Onuma is ever thankful for Mizuki's help, always sharing what food she has, noticing how scrawny and underfed the poor girl looks. Mizuki brings out a protective side of Onuma that she shows few others.

And she often believes that Thorn is one of the 81st's best assets. Resourceful, cunning, and ruthless; it's a much needed balance.

It's given her a healthy reminder not to judge based on preconceptions. Now she tries to get along, even if that is by way of her harmlessly teasing him.

What she does know is that Seda'li and her do not talk nearly enough, and hopes that can be remedied at some point in time. His disagreements with Rhesh'ir leave her concerned about his and Ferai's wellbeing in the future.

She views the young woman as both witty and lofty, and perhaps because of that the two of them mesh well. She can tell that Alicia is still green when it comes to adventuring life, but her willingness to follow the 81st and grow with them impresses Onuma.

Though this behavior made her distrusting of him at first, the Keeper warmed up to him incredibly fast. While he may not have the combat readiness that others possess, she finds his intuitive nature and resourcefulness a refreshing addition. He also kept her sane during her first real climb. </span></span> | + | :<span style="font-size: medium; text-align: -webkit-center;"><font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font><span style="font-size:small;">'''[[Rhesh'ir Zhwan]]''' - Her boss. Whom she likes well enough, although she hasn't seen him in quite some time. He was supposed to teach her the bow at one point in time, but this never really got off of the ground. She was upset about this for a while until she realized how little she actually does for the Free Company and that she's still getting paid. She found it in her heart to forgive.</span></span> |

She adores the older man, more than she cares to admit. He has been nothing but a welcome person and she is happy to assist him with his clinic however she can. Despite having to depart for a while, Onuma wants to be able to see him again at the earliest opportunity. His kind nature draws her to him. With Lotan'to's death, it may be just one of many places to distract herself.

They spoke for quite some time, got to know each other a little here and there. Some of the subjects Onuma had to share perhaps disturbed the woman, but overall the experience was nothing short of pleasant. It's been some time since she saw Mylene but, if she had the opportunity to meet with her again, she would in a heartbeat.

He tends to be spotty, she's noticed, as they do not have terribly strong ties. However, she does respect him a great deal, and has come to understand him more beneath the almost paranoid nature he exhibits. She can tell he's a powerful swordsman, and so she sees him as a peer. A fellow guardian, as it were.

About Lin's age, she discovered, but he and the Sunseeker are malms apart in personality. She finds him a curiosity, despite. He's an intelligent sort, and though Gridanian, she feels as though there is a connection between them, small as it might be for the moment. The two ran into each other once, but it was at a bad time. Sadly, she's not seen him since.</span></span>

She's a lalafell with a whiplash tongue and has no ends to her wit and banter. She's lived in Ul'dah all her life, but while some may think that unfortunate, Onuma fast discovered Kalulu had no end of lessons to teach. She utilizes them on a daily basis, and it's astounding just how much she can pass for a noblewoman. Needless to say, though, the mi'qote would be lying if she said she didn't prefer her to stay where she can keep an eye on her. </span></span>

He's a big, burly Hellsguard that takes it upon himself to be the 'guard' of the family when they're within a City-state, usually employing himself as a handy escort if not to be an available hand. Onuma grew fond of him the moment he opened his mouth. He can be grumpy, and he can certainly be mouthy, but no one could say he wasn't passionate about his duties; especially when he gets to enjoy his dreams as a cook, having been a student at the Bismarck. Of course, his mouth has sometimes gotten him into trouble, too. </span></span>

She saw her as a potentially problematic addition to the 81st, due to her colored perceptions. When Onuma was at her weakest, though, Trisselle showed her there was a compassionate person beneath the icy exterior. Owing to misunderstandings, Onuma now feels like she should try to learn more about this magister.

The two have rarely spoken, but while initially distrusting of him, she did come to learn his logic and way of thinking by far similar to her own. But unlike her, he plays the role of the proverbial thorn far more strongly than she ever could. She does want to eventually know more about him, as he has been one of the only allies to the free company thus far. For this she is thankful.

Some important event caused their tribe to split, but Onuma was too young to remember at the time. When her and her family boarded a ship to make voyage to Eorzea, a terrible and raging storm put them in perilous danger. Onuma believes she was swallowed by the sea. She has not seen her since then.

He was a plantation farmer, and so placid that he could have been considered a pacifist. After the loss of Onu, Ank'a was forced to raise their children on his own. Ank'a's cruel death was a point of contention for Onuma and the Wood Wailers of Gridania early on in their life on Eorzea, causing her to have aggression toward them and resentment to the poachers they hunted. She firmly believes he was in the wrong place and at the wrong time. Onuma looks on him fondly and talks about him plenty, though it's clear she misses him. It is through him that she will continue to care for his plantations and protect the home they made for themselves.

Jhi had a strong attachment to Onuma, and was afraid of seeing her go anywhere without her being in her sights. It was this familial love that often made others question whether Onuma was her mother or sister, but Onuma would proudly claim that she'd act as both. Like their father, Jhi's death had a direct influence in how she perceived many of the Gridanians and the poachers they vehemently despised. Jhi was an unfortunate victim, caught in the crossfires.

Like Lotan'to and X'linwh, Lyfriel's grisly death cut into Onuma like a burning knife, opening up new wounds and festering old ones. Devastation and anguish has been left in the wake of her passing, and much like dealing with the loss of her own sister by blood, Onuma feels all the more alone without her. </span></span>
