Summary

Hatsukiku and her sister, Hanatsuma, came from a small town in Doma, where their father worked with the town's guard, using a polearm to help defend the people, and their mother worked with a few of the other women as healers and medics. Hatsukiku was later trained and worked with the healers and medics in town, handling mending mixing of medicines, while her sister trained under the seamstresses and leather-workers in town. As soon as trouble reached their small town, their parents secured passage for Hatsukiku and Hanatsuma to flee to Eorzea during the uprising against the Garlean forces. Being both Doman refugees, and Au Ra Raen, their arrival in Eorzea, was met with some hardships. Hatsukiku has been recovering and adjusting to Eorzea as best she can, working to improve her skills in conjury and the different healing trades a country foreign to her has to offer.
