Appearance

Crawa is a bit short for her kind, slight and lacking in physical strength. She has green eyes and long, pale blond hair, which she keeps braided and out of the way. She appears clean and neat under almost every circumstance, except perhaps while gardening. She often wears green, her favoured colour, and a distinctive silver bracelet etched with Nophica's symbol. She also wears white ear clasps of the same design as those of her fiance.

Personality

Crawa has a relatively cautious, pacifist outlook on the world, though when the rare circumstance permits she can certainly be a force to reckon with. She has a deep sense of responsibility and propriety, along with a strong desire to protect others (whether they want it or not). As a result, she worries frequently and can be a bit of a nag at times, perhaps even bordering on 'control freak'. However, this sense also leads her to be a loyal friend and a formidable foe to those would would wish to harm anyone in her acquaintance. She enjoys gardening, peace, and quiet. She dislikes recklessness and disorganization, putting her frequently at odds with her chaotic traveling companion and childhood friend, Garaf.

Background

Crawa was born in 1550 at Randirim Temple, a small shrine to Nophica deep in the eastern reaches of the Twelveswood. She was betrothed soon after birth to Duran Mithranc, a young boy whose relatively wealthy Gridanian family was a major supporter of the temple, financially and otherwise. She rarely saw her parents, who spent most of the year away from their daughter, but who always returned to the temple for her nameday. When she was six, a mysterious duskwight child appeared on the temple's doorstep, in dire need of aid. Crawa's parents entrusted him to her care before leaving. They never returned, however, and Crawa and Garaf grew up together under the care of her grandfather and of Esslar, an elderly lalafell caretaker.

Upon reaching adulthood, Crawa refused to marry Duran until the mystery of her parents' disappearance was solved. Instead, she departed the temple with Garaf, embarking on a quest to find out what had happened to them. Their travels took them to the three major cities of Eorzea, and finally saw them crash-landing a stolen airship into the middle of nowhere in the Sharlayan mountains. By the time they made their way back to the Twelveswood, Dalamud was low in the sky. Crawa and Garaf reconnected with Duran, now a Wood Wailer officer, and fought together in the Battle of Carteneau.

Crawa and a mortally-wounded Duran were thrown into the future together, having become separated from Garaf. She wandered the wilderness, disoriented, until a chance meeting with Eva Zelorius near the Church of Saint Adama Landama brought her back to civilization and to her loved ones.
