Gogojo has features that are entirely typical of a Seeker, from her slitted eyes to her short tail with a darker tuft at the end. Her life in the harsh desert sun has imparted on her a tan complexion and light, sand-colored hair, and her eyes themselves bear the very color of the sun. The only feature that stands out is the ragged, raised scar running along her right cheek. Standing at five fulms and one ilm, Gogojo is of average height for a miqo’te, and years of dedication to training with daggers have blessed her with a well-muscled but lean frame. It is rare that she is seen without a thin layer of dust covering her and her clothing, especially her face where smudges of oil are commonly found, even if only faint. A few minor, faint scars litter her body, namely on her knees and arms, but beyond that she has no other identifying marks or even any tattoos. Typically the only adornment she wears are two gold rings in each ear, and the only makeup worn is the kohl lining her eyes and the some sort of dark stain used on her lips. Her style of dress can best be described as “unrefined”. She wears what is practical for her work and the climate, which often means shorts, a sleeveless top, boots, and a bandana and goggles to protect her face in the event of a sandstorm. The miqo’te is certainly not the best at cleaning up per se—while she enjoys picking out more formal, feminine attire whenever such occasions arise, she is absolutely terrible at it and often has to have someone else pick it out for her lest she choose the frilliest, brightest dress available.

From a young age Gogo was trained in the use of daggers, and to this day it is daggers she continues to favor. The miqo’te is swift on her feet and practical in her movements, only using showier techniques to distract long enough to deal her blows. While she is notoriously bad about jumping into a fight without first assessing the situation properly, she is relatively skilled at thinking on her feet and sizing up her opponent in the heat of battle. Though she has speed on her side, strength is another story entirely. Gogojo is relatively weak and could never hope to overpower an opponent. Should they manage to get in a strong blow, she’s most assuredly out of the fight. Her usual strategy in dealing with stronger opponents is to avoid being hit at any and all costs while squeezing in smaller but more frequent blows of her own. Gogo is also relatively decent in hand-to-hand combat, though her level of skill in this field certainly doesn’t reach the same heights as her skill with daggers. While she isn’t afraid to get into an occasional brawl, she doesn’t actively seek them out either. Insult her loved ones however, and you can certainly bet she’ll throw some punches without so much as a warning.

When her family was still alive and their merchant caravan still whole, Gogojo worked first and foremost as a traveling engineer and repairman, repurposing Garlean technology and repairing the guns and machinery of her clients. She currently employs herself full-time as a dagger-for-hire, both to sate her need for amalj’aa blood as well as to save money to replace the equipment she lost when the beastmen successfully raided her family’s caravan years back. Ultimately her dream would be to work for The Garlond Ironworks or even just as an engineer employed by the Ul’dahn government, but Gogojo sees her inability to read or write as an obstacle to this. She had little access to books as a kid and all of her education was practical and vocationally-based rather than formal. While she is not entirely illiterate, deciphering even a sentence takes her a not-insignificant amount of time, and she is aware that learning the finer points of her work will require a better handle on the skill. Because of this, one of her current hobbies includes actively working to learn how to read and write. She also keeps to some sort of fitness routine, even if it is only a few basic strength exercises and a quick run first thing in the morning. Her routine is more involved when not actively out fulfilling mercenary work, and always includes some practice with her daggers to keep herself from getting rusty with them.

(Currently only in the form of key details about her past—eventually I might write up a more detailed history. Maybe. Maybe not. We’ll see. :o)
