Basic Info

Ashild Skyltbraenawyn (née Kesteyha Skyltbraenawyn) was born in the deserts of Southern Thanalan and raised partly in Little Ala Mhigo. When she matured enough to venture out on her own, she took up the name Ashild for her late adopted aunt, Ashildr, and kept her surname Skyltbraenawyn for her surviving mother, Shield Breaker (née Skyltbraena).

The bulk of her adolescence and adulthood was spent practicing a migrant lifestyle, but now and then she stays in a place longer than her usual. Her last affiliated group was the Vermillion Outriders.

History

Shield Breaker

Shield Breaker (née Skyltbraena) was pregnant while on a job to escort a passenger caravan south to Forgotten Springs. Deep in her third trimester, Shield Breaker waited out the remaining weeks at the destination to give birth to her daughter Kesteyha before heading back north. Along the way postpartum complications forced Shield Breaker to seek rest and recovery in Little Ala Mhigo, where an elderly hyur couple, Hugel and Ashildr, offered to take them in. They became Kesteyha's godparents.

Kesteyha

The first several years of Kesteyha's childhood were spent in Little Ala Mhigo, where the mother and daughter pair helped Hugel and Ashildr make a living and took part in the refugee community. Eventually, Shield Breaker and Kesteyha packed up to rejoin Vulcan Rocs, Shield Breaker's old mercenary company. From its members Kesteyha picked up various skills and adapted to a nomadic lifestyle.

Teenage restlessness and desire for a change of pace set in, but word of Ashildr's death helped drive Kesteyha's decision to part ways with the Vulcan Rocs to find her own path. She began with a name change.

Ashild

Her first job was janitorial and maintenance work in the kitchens of the Quicksand. She found entertainment in watching the pugilist fights and got into them herself, to work out her frustration. One of the pugilist trainers helped focus her discipline and teach her some emotional intelligence. Once Ashild managed to get prep work she eventually saved up enough to move to Limsa Lominsa, but it took her a few tries to gain admission into the culinary guild academy.

Upon graduation she found employment at a prestigious restaurant, but a few years was enough to burn her out. Ash began traveling Eorzea to learn about cultures and cooking techniques from different parts of the world, picking up odd jobs to fund her journey.

Personality

Bubbly, positive, and gung ho, Ashild generally doesn't carry bad blood around. Regardless of what path she walks, she is inclined to live passionately and true to herself.
