| | | | |
| − | 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> |

| − | (( This page is LONG overdue for some major editing due to RP developments. Not everything currently written is entirely accurate! So please pardon the mess while things are sorted out. '''Last updated: 03/29/14!''' ))
| + | '''• 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> |
| | | | |
| − | === Appearance ===
| + | '''• 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..</div> |

| − | 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. Her hands, if anyone were to take good notice of them, are rough and worn, calloused and lined with small scars.

| − | | |
| − | 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.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Personality & Philosophy ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | 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.
| |
| − | | |
| − | While she does not necessarily practice any sort of fervent worship of the Twelve, she and her family have traditionally honored both Oschon the Wanderer and Byregot the Builder above all else.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Combat ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Jajara grew up learning bits and pieces of basic pugilist techniques from the men in her family and, in her youth, served to help protect the caravan from wild beasts and the occasional bandit. There is a certain grace, she believes, in using the body as a weapon - particularly a body which most would dismiss as unimposing to say the least. Her style tends to focus on dehabilitation rather than outright offense, her strikes aimed for joints and nerves to cripple or slow targets down. Most weapons are clumsy in her hands so she prefers a good pair of cesti if she is ever called to battle.
| |
| − | | |
| − | However, Jajara does not relish in combat. Her arrival in Ul'dah saw her putting in a brief stint in the Coliseum to earn some gil, and she has on occasion ventured out to perform small tasks for the Adventurer's Guild. Pacifistic as she is, she still takes some pride in her abilities and puts herself through an exercise regimen twice daily to maintain it. Even without being an active combatant, the physical demands of her work necessitates such measures.

| − | === Other === | |
| − | | |
| − | ::*Jajara could easily be considered somewhat dim by many more worldly people. She has never stepped foot into a school house nor academy or even a library in her life. What she knows was shared to her by her family and the others who roamed the sands. She knows her letters, some basic maths, and the Gods... but of politics, borders, geography, and even world history she is largely ignorant. | |
| − | ::*Her favorite foods are oranges and chocolate. | |
| − | ::*Her name can be found posted on the [http://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/showthread.php?tid=4645| Adventurer's Guild Pen Pal's Club roster].
| |
| − | ::*Jajara rarely, if ever, keeps living pets for fear that she might have to eat them should she ever fall down on her luck. A Demonic Brick follows her around most of the time and so far Jajara has not yet had to feed it. It was named Mortarmer by a very clever friend. | |
| − | ::*It is for the above reason that her Chocobo is named "Dinner" though she usually keeps her stabled with the Immortal Flames where she is able to be fed adequately.
| |
| − | ::*Getting lost in her work comes very easily to her and so Jajara might inadvertently go for long lengths of time without rest or food.

| |
| − | | |
| − | Before coming to Ul'dah, Jajara Jara travelled with a dunebeast clan headed called Great Berimu after the largest of the beasts, over whom her mother holds dominion. Reclusive even for nomadic Dunesfolk, they have been content to wander the deepest reaches of the Sagolii, only venturing out as far as the Forgotten Springs once every few moons to trade and resupply. As such, they have remained largely disinterested in the happenings of the world and have shunned most outsiders, particularly those of other races. They have long abided by their own laws and traditions in spite of the changing world around them.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The coming of the Battle of Cartenaeu saw much of their number decimated. Among those lost were Jajara's father, several aunts and uncles, and a sister. Lacking the numbers and strength to survive for long, as the Calamity left Great Berimu with mostly the too-old or too-young, an arrangement was made to merge their clan with a relative's for the benefit of both.
| |
| − | | |
| − | While Jajara usually shies away from speaking explicitly of her family members, there are a few names that have come up from time to time.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ::*'''Jojore Jore''' - Her mother and the de facto leader of her clan. Jajara has rarely spared a kind word about the woman, seeming to become quite aggravated whenever she comes up in conversation. | |
| − | | |
| − | ::*'''Auntie Boro''' - Her aunt (mother's side) to whom Jajara looked up to and still speaks fondly of. She is a kindly woman who tended to Jojore's children as much as she did her own, often playing the "good guy" to their mother's coldness. | |
| − | | |
| − | ::*'''Sasasori Kokosori''' - Her baby brother and perhaps the one sibling to whom she is closest. (( Details pending! )) | |
| − | | |
| − | ::*'''Koporo Aporo''' - One of her elder brothers. (( Details pending! )) | |
| − | | |
| − | ::*'''Jajaraji Nanaraji''' - One of her many cousins. He and Jajara were recently reunited in Ul'dah after several mishaps being sent about Eorzea in search of her. Though he had been instructed to bring Jajara back to Great Berimu, Jajaraji is far more interested in pursuing his studies now that he has the resources of the free cities at his fingertips. | |

Their relationship has changed dramatically since they first met, where a ne'er-do-well mercenary with what seemed to her a death wish opened up to her and became something nobler. It has been rocky and it has been trying at times, but they have come out of it stronger and bonded closer than ever. There is no one alive to whom Jajara owes greater loyalty and trust. Recently, she's gone with him into the heart of the Sagolii to meet her family.

An awkward initial meeting sparked what would become a strong and lasting friendship, with the two of them going back and forth to provide support and advice to one another on matters of work, life, and love. There was a time where Jajara nearly destroyed their friendship, and another when Edgar confessed feelings she could not reciprocate... yet despite their troubles, he will always be her only miqo'te brother. | + | File:Jajara_sammish.png|by [http://mmmsammishes.tumblr.com/ Sammish] |

There's a sadness to the woman that Jajara suspects goes beyond worries of the mentor she often spoke of, but it is easily eclipsed by the strength of her heart. Rumors of corruption in Ul'dah are not lost upon her, but Jajara knows that Roen is at least one person that she can trust. | + | </gallery> |

She met the man by way of his lovely boots, as he humored her and suffered her inquisitiveness with gentle words and the occasional smile. Jajara is fascinated by the scarred Highlander and his obvious skill with weaponry, as well as the quiet wisdom he had imparted to her during some of the roughest days of her life. She often teases the man for never writing but it is easily forgiven, for she knows he is a good man with challenges of his own. Currently, she is seeking his advice on matters of building or procuring a mobile forge of some fashion.

The first - a miqo'te man who had worked closely with her and XI:7 in general - was very near and dear to her heart, loved and trusted as she would one of her blood. His death has proven to be very difficult for her to accept and still she mourns him despite being uncertain how to do so. His "replacement" as he so coldly put it was initially met with distrust and almost outright hostility but she has come to trust him as well. She has not seen this Highlander in many moons and suspects the worst. (( Character MIA. ))

Looked like some kind of wedding ring, real old fashioned thing that wasn't even worth the spit to shine it. Tell truth, I only gave her the gil cause she looked like hell."
| |
| − | ::*"I got a pot of gil thanks to her. Nobody wanted to bet against Lance Goodpunch - no one but me! But when she knocked him out not once, not twice, but ''three'' times - WHAP! POW! - ohhh, my heart was ''singing''! Thank the lady for me, would you?"
| |
| − | ::*"That gold-eyed girl? Yeah, she comes through pretty often. A miner, isn't she? Now and again, though, she'll just ride up to the top of a dune and just... stand there. Stand and stare. Sometimes after a while she'll ride out, and sometimes she'll just come right back and leave. No idea why, though.

| − | 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.
