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 because of 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 did that day. She has little memory of her past, except the significance of the feather earring that dangles from her left ear. The people of Gridania found Emadra before the creatures of the forest got to her, and had set her through the purification rights to "protect" her against the greenwrath.

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 witnissing 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 kicked it open, finding a secret stash to her father's old alcohol recipe, and lots of it, filled in mason jars; which now she saves for special people, or friends, and let's them drink it. She mostly does this 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 grew 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 randomly soon after.

• Emadra spent much time in Ul'dah, struggling for food and water due to running out of gil for feed for her chocobos. She once had to beg for water; but her chocobo, River, learned to hunt just to find her food at one point which struck her inspiration to teach chocobos 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. (age 13)

        She would go back in between her traveling to polish her skills. (13-15) 

• 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 "Gunfox". The ruthless leader, a woman by the name of "Mirabelle", saved Emadra from drowning after a brawl with someone in the Limsa docks, seeing a bit of herself in Emadra. She took her out to sea, making it a difficult awakening for Ema -- as they also left her chocobos behind; so ultimately they had to go back to get them. After many hard weeks, she grew used to the pirates and their ways, as they did enjoy landing on islands for hunting treasure, allowing her chocobos to still stretch their legs(though her precious "River" could swim already). She developed as a young woman here, as she was well welcomed after showing the pirates that she was a champion drinker. She soon made friends with the lot of them after showing her drinking skills, training skills and more. She even trained more in healing magic due to a new friend she made aboard the ship. Though her journey ended in what seemed like a bell, was five years later... she parted Mirabelle and the other's, a hug to her mage friend, and each crew member a mason jar filled with alcohol - even decorated with rope bows and each a small trinket she would carve from broken barrel pieces.

        She wouldn't cry - this wouldn't be the last time she would see them. (age 16-21)

• She has been all over, even Doma some people say; but she doesn't talk much about it unless she is asked... or extremely drunk. (Which is highly improbable.)

• 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 chocobo 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.(age 17-23)

• Emadra found herself in Coerthas during a mission with comrades, but when on her own, she happened upon a reptile-like baby she took to her stable and took in as her own. So far it is believed to be a dragon-drake hybrid of sorts, as it grew too fast to have been a full blooded dragon. It flies, and breathes lightning. Female, name is unknown. (27-Current)

UPDATED: • Nilix is now a full grown chocobo. His feathers have finally all come in, and have turned into a deep, vibrant adamantoise green. But he is not finished with his training, still having many years ahead to catch up to either of his parents. (28-Current)

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.

Emadra and the Green Wrath

Now, after many years of research, Emadra decided to search for the deep dark secrets behind the Green Wrath.

It destroyed her life, killed her family and friends, and that's all she cares about. She wants to find out what caused all of this chaos in her life, and plans on getting rid of it, no matter what it takes...

After many more moons of her continued research, Emadra has found her family was known to practice beastmastery; a skill thought to have been lost to Eorzea. She continues to study more and more these days, and has harnessed many new skills.

UPDATE

Emadra has recently found that her tribe was attacked by the elementals due to them hunting too often, and without permission. In an illustrated book of her tribe's she has found, it demonstrates how they taught their canine companions to hunt, resulting in over-killing. Emadra continues to help the people of the shroud, she has grown stronger and has started to change somehow
