History(Full Story)
Though she doesn't remember much of her childhood, she vaguely remembers being in the desert and then suddenly leaving her home with the small family she had. After some time the family found a place to call home, they were in Oakwood near Camp Bronze Lake. Her sister, Syra Thorne, and Hikari as children and preteens would swim in the lake and hunt during the day since their father was either out doing work in Limsa for the Maelstrom or finding ways to make large amounts of coin so he could stay home longer with his family and spend more time with them. It was a happy life, they got away from all the refugee camps, had a nice home near the water, and had a great life. That all changed in one day.
Hikari and Syra we're out doing what they did most days, losing track of time after they traveled from Aleport to visit thier aunt after hunting in the area near by, they rushed home to see no lights were on, an unusual sight since their parents enjoyed the night. Upon the door there was a bloodied note, at the sight of this the sisters rushed in, to find their father sitting in a chair in the corner, throat slit. They ran to their parents room yelling for their mother, and heard muffled screams. They opened the door knives at hand to see their mother being attacked by three men, one of the men with an evil smile turned towards them and said "You have two choices, you can die with your parents now. Or i will give you both scars and you both can run and never speak of what you saw and who you saw. Make your choice." Their mother told them to take the second choice, and go to their aunt's home. The girls listened to their mother and the man gave them each a scar under their eyes. The two sisters ran back to Aleport, the aunt welcoming them.
She asked what happened to them, they said they could not tell pointing to the scars under their eyes. Aunt Styrnlona nodded understandingly and asked the whereabouts of the girls parents. The girls informed her of their passing. She hugged the two girls and gave the two girls safe haven for the coming years. Upon the sisters turning 15, Styrnlona's Husband asked jokingly if the girls wanted to work on the ship instead of always hunting. Hikari and Syra jumped with joy and said "Of course, we thought you'd never ask." He stepped back in shock but took them along on one of the runs and had the crew show them what was the requirements of working on the Lunar. They did it all proudly, their uncle watching over them was proud and glad he asked them. Over the next three years, the sisters worked hard on the ship and worked their way up to Sergeants on the ship. The entire crew was proud of them and their uncle was smiling from ear to ear the day they were recognized by Admiral Merlwyb Bloefhiswyn herself. She asked thier uncle if offering them officer positions in the Maelstrom was something they would like, he said "I would presume they would be honored." She asked the girls and they we're respectfully gave a storm salute and said "Yes mam. We would be honored." In the first year and a half of their service, they went from being storm sergeants to Storm Lieutenants. Upon reaching this rank, their uncle gave them a present, he named them captains of the Lunar the same day they attained the rank of Lieutenant of the Maelstrom.
A few years later, they were entrusted with an important contract of retrieving some particular stolen goods from a smaller Maelstrom trade ship by some pirates. They searched the sea around Vy’lbrand for a couple of days and say an eerie ship. They decided to approach it and saw the described goods. Getting as close to the ship as they could, they took a pirates approach and ordered them to surrender the goods or go down with the ship they were standing on. Three familiar figures standing on the aft of the ship ordered the crew to attack. The Lunar crew beat them to the punch and pressed the attack first. The fight lasted hours, finally coming down to the three captains of the pirate crew with Hikari her sister and the Lunar crew circling around them. The sisters wanting a fair fight threw a dagger into the weakest of the three men’s throat, and ordered the crew to go back to the ship. It was a short stand-off but the sisters were victorious. After being impaled by Syra’s sword, one of the men came back up from the ground. “Remember me girls?” pointing to their scars after taking the bandanna from his face, “I’m the one who gave you those scars. I knew we would meet again, this time with you two having the upper hand. Now this time you won’t have a choice. One of you is going to die.” Hikari being the older sister stepped forward gesturing to kill her, Syrah knew to not question it as they had talked about it before. “Now, I am going to kill you but to inflict the ultimate torture to remember for the rest of your time on Eorzea, I will place both of your soul anther in her body.” And with no hesitation, it happens instantly, he stabs Hikari with the sword that impaled him moments ago and in a bright white flash, Syra’s body is tossed back to the Lunar. Crew members lift her up and ask “Captain Hikari, are you ok?” realizing that moment what he did was turn her into a deception. To her she looks like herself with Hikari’s eye color, but to everyone else she looks like Hikari. A short time passes, and she no longer goes by the name Hikari Thorne, instead she changes it to Hikari LeBlanc, since she is a deception to others.
