History

No one knows about Emadra's true past. She tends to keep the past in the past, no matter the situation.

Emadra was raised in a small village in the heart of the Black Shroud that no longer exists due to defilement within the town that enraged the greenwrath, just making it another part of the forest. She was young when her town was destroyed, and since then she has been away from her family; not knowing whether they live or if they met the same fate as many others that day. She has little memory of her past, except the significance of the Behemoth earring that dangles from her left ear. The people of Gridania found Emadra somehow untouched by the wrath, and had set her through the purification rights to "protect" her against it.

Though this seemed to be only temporary, as Emadra developed strange powers overtime that caused horrific accidents, or strange physical changes. People were afraid of her after witnessing some of these incidents, such as thorn covered vines raising from the ground and whipping towards them, so eventually she secluded herself in the forest. Of course over the years she practiced these spells, whether it lead to her getting hurt or not...

Emadra went back to the location of her old village in later years, only to find that it was still dead in the area from all of the fire. No grass, no trees, no anything. She found a steel door of some sort in the ground, and managed to pry it open, finding a secret stash to her father's old alcohol recipe, and lots of it, filled in mason jars. Now she saves it for special occassions, mostly doing so for fun, giggling at how drunk everyone gets from just a few sips.

It has been quite a few years since then, and Emadra has been training to become a grand healer for the Gridanians even after surviving The Calamity, and hopes to one day be the greatest chocobo rancher there is.

Though she finally had taken on a rather large ranch, and stored many peoples' mounts and even pets in her stables, she has suddenly got rid of all of her workers, and has given the peoples' companions back - only to keep a select few. She has all but disappeared to everyone she once knew and loved. Finding her was not hard, however, as she continues to take care of the ranch and stable alone. Occasionally checking up on the greens she's been growing herself.

Travelling history

Some bullet points of Emadra's history as a travelling Chocobo Rancher.

• She left for many moons to search for her now burnt down village inside the Black Shroud, which lead her to disappear. Garlean's hunted her down in later years, hoping they could harness her strange powers and use it for themselves. Though she had gotten caught, their leader was arrogant; setting up his tubes and machinery, hooking her up to them deep in the Shroud where her friends knew to search for her.

• Emadra spent much time outside Ul'dah, struggling for food and water to feed herself and her chocobos. She had become a beggar. Her chocobo, River, learned to hunt just to find food, striking Emadra's inspiration to teach them how to battle and heal. Though she had lost her strength for magic, she found a way to her village and camped there for four moons, relearning some of the things her memory had lost.. then becoming closer to the Shroud's creatures and delving deeper into her ancestor's books that survived the fires.

        She would go back in between her traveling to polish her skills, finding a rather large book she keeps locked away. 

• She spent five years on the ocean, sailing on a ship big enough for her and the two chocobos she had at the time, it was named "The Gunfox". The ruthless leader, a woman by the name of "Mirabelle", saved Emadra from drowning after a brawl with someone in the Limsa docks. She saw a bit of herself in Emadra. Taking her out to sea, making it a difficult awakening for Emadra -- as they left her chocobos behind; ultimately leading to them turning back to pick them up. After many hard weeks, she grew used to the pirates and their ways. They enjoyed landing on islands for hunting treasure, Allowing her chocobos to stretch their legs. She developed as a young woman here, as she was well welcomed after showing the pirates that she was a champion at drinking. She soon made friends with the lot of them after demonstrating the various skills she had to offer. She even trained more in healing magic due to a new friend she made aboard the ship, who helped her find that she had a knack for speaking to the elementals. Though her journey ended in what seemed like a bell, was five years later... she parted Mirabelle and the other's, a hug to Mirabelle, as if leaving a mother figure, and each crew member a mason jar filled with alcohol.

• As Emadra got older, she saved enough gil to start buying more chocobos. Though she only started with one more... it's name was Wither, an almost black dark green colored male. She mated River with him, an egg which hatched and became Emadra's now primary chocobo, Nilix. Many don't know about Wither, there are rumors that he is running wild in the Shroud. Said to be one of the strongest chocobos anyone's ever seen. She found him in a blackmarket, being held to the ground with chains, yet he fought against them for bells. Some say he was so abused, it made him wilder and he never listened to anyone until she came along; making it easy to negotiate with the cruel hunter selling him. Some say Wither is infected with the same Green Wrath as Emadra.

        Though Nilix is still young, he has the perfect mix of speed and strength thanks to River and Wither's genes,
        making him the best battle chocobo Emadra has bred yet.

• Emadra found herself in Coerthas during a mission with comrades, but when on her own, she happened upon a grounded dragon, defending itself from hippocerfs. She watched from afar for a moment, 'til she realized it was going to die if she didn't step in; it was already gravely wounded. She fought the hippocerfs away. The dragon was aggressive towards her at first, but followed her as she had just about given up on taming it. It's wings were torn, a leg broken and it's hide torn.. it knew it wasn't going to survive without her. Soon they made for a close bond after she took it to her stables and brought it back to it's full strength.

• Nilix is now a full grown chocobo. His feathers have finally all come in, and have turned into a deep, adamantoise green. But he is not finished with his training, still having many years ahead to catch up to either of his parents. =

Personality

Now that Emadra has grown older, and more mature, her words have become fewer. She's still herself, sweet and optimistic, but her spunky side takes a bit to flourish now. She's extraordinarily honest, and though she is very forgetful, she has much insight on life.
