A familiar face in the markets of Ul'dah and Limsa Lominsa, Jajara Jara is an enterprising young lalafell known among her friends for her friendly demeanor. While she is not an adventurer, she has given much support to the local branch of the Adventurer's Guild and is recognized in the Goldsmith's Guild as a skilled craftsman.

<div style="width:90%;margin:auto;font-family:Calibri;font-size:18px;color:#480e02;margin-top:10px;text-align:justify;">Born of a nomad clan of Dunesfolk that yet wanders the deep Sagolii, Jajara Jara is unique to her family as one who freely travels between the city-states and the wastes. Once, it was thought an act of defiance to a betrothal Jajara could not abide - but as the years have passed and horizons broadened, Jajara has come to consider it a great honor to act as an envoy between her clan and the outside world. That she may someday become matriarch has done little to stymie her enthusiasm. Her path most often carries her to Ul'dah but when the stars are right she can be found as far as Vylbrand, attending to her craft in Limsa Lominsa's markets.</div>

<div style="width:90%;margin:auto;font-family:Calibri;font-size:18px;color:#480e02;margin-top:10px;text-align:justify;">Short even among the lalafell, Jajara nevertheless houses a great deal of strength in her stout body thanks to a lifetime of labor. She dresses and grooms herself in a very utilitarian manner, preferring simple clothing in modest hues over anything haute couture. Typically her only point of excess, if it could be called that, are simple yet finely crafted silver earrings and one of any number of brightly colored bandanas or scarves.<br>
 +
Jajara is dark skinned with golden eyes and vibrant red-violet hair. She bears very few scars aside from the wear and tear accrued through her work: calloused hands, webs of light scarring over her arms, a few stray scrapes and scratches on her cheeks or shoulders. She is lightly freckled across her nose and might possess the largest pair of ears of any lalafell living or dead. A clear and notable feature is a tattoo in rich crimson ink that spans the width of her face, which might give her something of an intimidating appearance if smiles didn't come so easily to her.</div>

'''• NOMADIC.''' Great Berimu, the clan from which Jajara hails, treks across the desert to this day, crossing paths with any number of other clans, trade caravans, and adventurers (lost or otherwise). Its current matriarch, Jojore Jore, is a shrewd and iron-handed woman - worlds apart from her wayward daughter, Jajara.<br>

'''• MERCHANT.''' Jajara, true to her kin, travels far and frequently rather than hold to one guild or shop. Her wares are modest but finely crafted, and most are made either by herself or by her family: beautifully polished baubles, delicate strings of gold and stone, yarn dyed with the rich colors only the flora of the desert can provide. Jajara's speciality pertains to metalwork, with recent interest drawing her in to study armorsmithing.<br>

Short even for a Lalafell, Jajara Jara makes up for it somewhat with a stout and surprisingly muscular frame, a detail often overlooked given her race's inherent rotundity. Her skin is dark and, while unmarked by scars, bears a stylized and possibly ritualistic tattoo across her face in reddish ink which gives her an almost intense appearance when also taking vibrant nearly flame-orange eyes into account. Her hair takes on hues of reds and violets and is worn fairly short and tied into two loose braids at her neck. She is lightly freckled across her nose and her ears are unusually large for a lalafell.

The clothing she prefers is loose fitting and easy to move in. She has little taste for the fineries of silk and lace but makes exception for jewelry. Favored colors span between humble earthtones and gaudy reds, oranges, and yellows. It is rare to see her without a turban or headwrap of some sort.

Generally good natured almost to the point of naivety, Jajara is quick to trust most anyone who isn't holding a weapon to her throat. An unapologetic optimist, she tends to see the good in people and strives to do good herself. Smiles and laughter come easily to her. She holds personal honor and promises to be paramount as while Ul'dah may be a city that runs on secrets and gil, a person is nothing if they cannot be trusted with either. She would not call herself an "adventurer" per se but she has been known to strike out onto the road at the behest of strangers in need of help, but rarely without compensation. She is a child of the Dunesfolk, after all, and remains loyal to her kin, her nation, and the prospect of coin in her pockets.

Jajara is generally observant of laws and traditions and would be a most unlikely criminal. She is a terrible liar and a worse thief; fortunately, she relies on neither skill in her day to day life. Jajara is also a pacifist and will rarely ever resort to violence as a means to end a conflict. Murder is, naturally, completely and utterly abhorrent to her.

Jajara has had to assist in maintaining the safety of her family's caravan and has trained in basic pugilist technique since a fairly young age. There is a certain grace in using the body as a weapon - particularly a body which most would dismiss as she is unimposing to say the least. While she can be rather easy going with other things in life, she does take training seriously and puts herself through an exercise regimen twice daily to maintain her physical condition.

Until recently, Jajara Jara had been travelling with a small nomadic dunebeast caravan that included her mother, an uncle, two grandmothers, and several of siblings and cousins. Her father and other aunts and uncles had presumably perished at the Calamity. She does not remain on speaking terms with her mother, which is fortunate as her mother has sent no indication of wanting to resume contact at all.

=== Friends ===
 
−
[[Garryson Shipkeeper]] - Her employer. There is something about him that is somewhat offputting to her and so she might decline to call him a friend outloud. She is, however, grateful for his courtesy and for her job and will continue to remain loyal.
 
−
 
 
−
[[Tia Rie]] - A co-worker (of sorts) and probably one of her closer friends. Tia's mannerisms and dubious history are puzzling and unsettling to Jajara, as well as her relationship with Mr. Shipkeeper. She has taken somewhat of a protective attitude towards the miqo'te girl.
 
−
 
 
−
[[Baelon Mcleod]] - A co-worker and confidant. Jajara has a lot of respect for the bespectacled lawyer and trusts him implicitly. Her feelings regarding Mr. Shipkeeper are possibly tempered only by Baelon's trust and obvious loyalty to their mutual employer.
 
−
 
 
−
[[Reverend Hakuga]] - Jajara's closest friend. Gossip suggests their relationship is deeper than friendship but Jajara has not publicly commented upon it.

[[A'tirramei Liroh]] - She makes the ''best'' treats and for that she has Jajara's love.

Jajara Jara was born in the deserts of Thanalan, yet another branch of an surprisingly expansive family tree who roamed the sands. Her clan travelled the sands upon the backs of a four dunebeasts, the largest of which was a wizened old thing named after an honored ancestor, Beberimu Jajarimu. They made their living trading hand-woven cloaks and blankets and prided themselves on their dyeing techniques, making use of most any plants or leftover animal parts to produce vibrant dyes with which to enhance their craft. Jajara never really picked up on either trade, taking more interest in more martial affairs. It was not long after her birth that many of her kin were called away to help in the coming war against the Imperial threat and so she took it upon herself to learn to defend her family in the absence of the more capable members of her clan. Vultures of all shapes are never far in the desert and with their number easily halved they were made dangerously vulnerable.

−
Life was rather uneventful, however, and her skills were rarely ever put to use aside from the occasional ambush from wild mongrels or angry hammerbeaks. The Calamity saw fit to return nearly none of her kin to them and those that did return were scarred and largely unfit for work. What had remained were mostly elders and younglings alike, hardly suited for maintaining the clan and their beasts alike for much longer. It was decided then that they would seek out a sister herd and arrange to be taken into the fold rather than wait to be picked off by the elements if they were lucky or the beastmen if they were not.  Sever weeks later they were officially joined with a herd led by a relatively close relative (Jajara's grandmother's sister and husband) and prospects for survival rose dramatically.
 
−
 
 
−
It was not too long after that Jajara Jara took leave of the caravan and turned instead for the city. Common talk among the clanfolk was that an unwelcome courtship and subsequent proposal had a large part to play in her desire to leave, but gossip is just gossip and only Jajara knows for sure what turned her away from the open dunes.

GENERAL INFO
BASIC STATS
GENDER: FEMALE
RACE: LALAFELL, DUNESFOLK
CLAN: GREAT BERIMU
AGE: 34
PROFESSION: ARTISAN, MERCHANT
NAMEDAY: 10th SUN, 5TH UM
GUARDIAN: BYREGOT
Born of a nomad clan of Dunesfolk that yet wanders the deep Sagolii, Jajara Jara is unique to her family as one who freely travels between the city-states and the wastes. Once, it was thought an act of defiance to a betrothal Jajara could not abide - but as the years have passed and horizons broadened, Jajara has come to consider it a great honor to act as an envoy between her clan and the outside world. That she may someday become matriarch has done little to stymie her enthusiasm. Her path most often carries her to Ul'dah but when the stars are right she can be found as far as Vylbrand, attending to her craft in Limsa Lominsa's markets.
APPEARANCE
Jajara sm1.png
Short even among the lalafell, Jajara nevertheless houses a great deal of strength in her stout body thanks to a lifetime of labor. She dresses and grooms herself in a very utilitarian manner, preferring simple clothing in modest hues over anything haute couture. Typically her only point of excess, if it could be called that, are simple yet finely crafted silver earrings and one of any number of brightly colored bandanas or scarves.
Jajara is dark skinned with golden eyes and vibrant red-violet hair. She bears very few scars aside from the wear and tear accrued through her work: calloused hands, webs of light scarring over her arms, a few stray scrapes and scratches on her cheeks or shoulders. She is lightly freckled across her nose and might possess the largest pair of ears of any lalafell living or dead. A clear and notable feature is a tattoo in rich crimson ink that spans the width of her face, which might give her something of an intimidating appearance if smiles didn't come so easily to her.
HOOKS & INTERACTIONS

• NOMADIC. Great Berimu, the clan from which Jajara hails, treks across the desert to this day, crossing paths with any number of other clans, trade caravans, and adventurers (lost or otherwise). Its current matriarch, Jojore Jore, is a shrewd and iron-handed woman - worlds apart from her wayward daughter, Jajara.

• MERCHANT. Jajara, true to her kin, travels far and frequently rather than hold to one guild or shop. Her wares are modest but finely crafted, and most are made either by herself or by her family: beautifully polished baubles, delicate strings of gold and stone, yarn dyed with the rich colors only the flora of the desert can provide. Jajara's speciality pertains to metalwork, with recent interest drawing her in to study armorsmithing.

• PUGILIST. While not a student of the pugilist's guild, Jajara's lessons came from her family, as she learned to fight from a young age to help protect her clan from beasts and beastmen alike. Her moves are decidedly unrefined but undoubtedly potent, and it's more than likely Jajara can stand toe to toe with most in an honest brawl..
