General Information
Born to the Qalli tribe. A tribe known as the 'Songbirds of the Steppe', Khuulan was raised up and groomed to become someone's bride. This, was because of a marriage between her mother, an Oronir, and her father. It was thought that she would be groomed to become the bridge of an Oronir, however as fate would have it the circumstances changed. She was sent away on a quest, on a journey west of self discovery.
Eventually, she returned to the tribe which had changed since she left. Now the daughter of a Khan (a princess equivalently) she had more autonomy to choose her partner. So she takes to being a caged bird no longer and instead flutters free about where ever the wind or her mood takes her. Thus, it is why she is see often in Eorzea, seeking people who she knew during her travels to reunite with them once again.
Males are so foolish, but females are even more so.

Hair & Eyes
Her hair is a deep red with splashes of lighter colors of red and orange within. Khuulan's eyes are a combination of two greens. Her iris is an emerald green with jade limbals, which almost seem to glow at times.
Physique & Markings
Short and Petite of a woman. Khuulan however, is very muscular for her size, her belly barely showing the lines of abdominal muscles. She has somewhat narrow hips but a well trimmed figure, giving the impression she keeps herself in shape. Additionally, that her movements express being light in the foot and perhaps a dancer. If one could see her belly, they would notice a long scar along her lower belly, below the belly button from a bladed wound. It is ghostly faint, but upon close inspection it is noticeable. There are additionally, small pale scars along her shoulders and her forearms, suggesting she has done combat many times. Most notably is her tail. She moves it actively, and the length for her size is longer than most Xaela. The tail itself is narrow with spikes on the end, but muscular and strong.
Hygiene & Attire
Like most from the Steppe, she is used to not having to bathe for long periods of time. However, during her stay in Kugane she learned to enjoy bathing. Generally, she does not smell like any perfume but rather has her natural scent (which given her diet, she smells a mixture of sweet milk and honey). Her hair is well cared for, though tends to curl as it becomes longer. She generally wears less revealing attire when in social situations dealing with her tribe. Otherwise, she generally wears something comfortable to the region. She is frankly, a clean freak and dislikes wearing dirty things.
Personality
Psychological Profile
Depth is the best word for Khuulan. Childish at times, but at other times wise beyond her years. A young woman who had to learn to grow up early, but never got to experience the wonders of youth entirely. She is unabashedly biased, even bigoted at times. However the childish side comes out when she is playful, or even more so when she is genuinely excited about something--her accent slipping when speaking Eorzean. She is a willful woman and gives the impression of agreeableness. She is by no means a naive and innocent young woman. She has killed several times before, and when the heat turns up in a situation, she is decisive and even ruthless at times.
Voice
Clear and strong. On the occasion, it can become airy depending on where she is singing. Khuulan's vocal range is within Mezzo-soprano (References: CoCo Lee / Enya are her lower tones, higher would hit Casey Williams). She has a vocal range, timbre, and clarity as Shimamura Yuu . She has a notable accent from her native tongue, but speaks proper if not at times dated speech style. When she is dead serious, she stays to a lower range (Annie Leonhardt from AoT), but when excited her voice raises in pitch to Menjou Hare (Guilty Crown). When she speaks Eorzean, she sounds more like: Brina Palencia.
Philosophy & Mannerisms
A woman who seeks to find her way in the world, be it in love or in fighting. Until recently, she lacked agency in her life and proper direction she had choice over, instead resigned to her fate. She is a willful woman and stubborn. Conservative in how she shows affection to lovers and tied to tradition. However, she will break with tradition if it means to grow in a direction she chooses (taking agency.) Her mood often can be observed by how her tail moves about. It is a terrible tell of her's as she is proficient in deception. Unlike many Xaela highly tied to compunctions of honor, Khuulan will obey them if she is to agree to it. If there are no 'rules' declared, she ignores traditions and will make use of whatever advantage she can. She lives by her own honor.

Non-Combat Abilities
Yol Call: With her voice alone, Khuulan is able to call for her Yol. She has such a mastery with her voice, or the Yol is so highly trained, that it no longer requires a whistle to guide it's actions. However, the Yol whistle is needed when her Yol is afar. (In Character)
Viscous Song of Mockery: On use; Sharp tongue and sharp wit, Khuulan taps into her bardic song through her voice passively to cause damage to the phyche, which either can be used to: Intimidate, Cajole, or Goad an opponent. This is a trick with her song, and is one that can disorient and unbalance, though strong willed individuals can resist. (roll vs roll, defender losing gains -100 to any 3 rolls vs. Khuulan of Khuulan's chosing.) (Mostly a vs. NPC, but if allowed can be used vs. Player Characters.) These rolls are non-combat only rolls.
Perfect Pitch: Passive ability; Khuulan always can strike the proper note in a song due to the many years of singing as a Qalli and the training as a bard. This affords her to always sing in whichever chord or note she can sing within her range, unless her voice is damaged or intentionally failing. (Passive +300 to performing: Singing)
Animal Empathy: Passive ability; Due to the many years upon the steppe and in the presence of animals, Khuulan has a pacifying aura about her and can befriend neutral and friendly creatures. To calm hostile creatures, Roll vs Roll (Or DC decided by storyteller).
Fast-Track: Active ability; As a hunter on the Steppes for many years, Khuulan had learned basic survival, including advanced levels of tracking. She did it so often growing up, she gained a keen eye for detail. For spotting tracks (either forensic evidence, or simply footprints/animal prints) passive +200 to her rolls. However, because of the focus, she might lose situational awareness (-200 to all rolls).
Combat Abilities
Mosquito's Bite: Activated ability; Learning to draw a weapon quickly, Khuulan can do so in the blink of an eye and attack in the same instance. Concealed weapons gain in the first attack with them a +200 to hit. This can only happen once per combat action. Once the knives are visible, they can be tracked. The knife however, is not seen but felt in the following turn after the first defense.
Two Weapon Fighting: Passive Ability; Due to her size, Khuulan has learned to fight using not just a primary weapon, but also a secondary. When wielding two weapons (One light, one normal sized, or both light) she can perform a Florentine action to increase her defense at the expense of offense and vice versa. This can only happen in increments of 50 to a maximum of + or - 300. (-300 to defense for attack and vice versa), the penalties carry over into the next roll until the amounts changed in the following turn.
Acrobatic Fighting: Passive Ability; Due to her many years of dance and acrobatics, she incorporates it into her fighting style. This affords her greater movement and astounding acrobatic feats. Thus, she suffers no penalties for using the bow or any large weapon (two handed or otherwise) in close range.
OOC Note
Willing to work with any system. The above is outlined as more so within the rolling system in FF14. However, if the character can be adapted properly I am willing to try almost anything.



History
.
Disclaimer: First and foremost, this is all OOC information to people who have not spoken to Khuulan and had her lay her past out to them. With exception only to those who frequented the Steppes and were keyed in on maidens to be wed off and politics upon the Steppe. With the events happening before Stormblood, this would mostly pertain only to Xaela characters and a few Raen part of the Malaguld tribe. If you think your character would know of her circumstances, please send a tell for permission. If you wanted to tie your character's story with mine, also please send me a tell for permission so we can make it work ICly.
Sixth Astral Era
Childhood
Born to Agasiletai and Toranaga Qalli, Khuulan lived a relatively sheltered life. Originally thought to be a boy given Agasiletai's eating habbits and the blessings of the Udugan. However, this was not to be. Khuulan was born prematurely, and throughout her early life as an adolescent suffered from sickness. Part of this contributed to stunting her growth, along with having a poor appetite until she hit puberty. She lived in a family with two older brothers, and eventually a younger brother after her mother died in childbirth.

Much of her early life was learning to survive upon the Steppe. For many years growing up she never learned how to properly sing until the age of six. At seven she was taught how to shoot a bow. At eight she began learning skills such as fishing, hunting, trapping, and horse back riding. When she turned nine years of age she started to help with her youngest brother in care taking. At eleven, her father remarried and she gained two more older brothers of similar ages to her blood brothers.

Her step mother, Esenaji, was especially strict with the whimsical Khuulan. They noticed her knack in handling children and animals. Khuulan was then informed she would be groomed to become someone's bride when she turned twelve and was to be married to an older Xaela warrior when she turned of the reasonable age to bare children.

However, this would be only the start to a series of unfortunate events to come...

Seventh Umbral Era
Adulthood
Not long after she turned the age of 13, the first of her suitors died. Chadugan Dotharl, or who was known as 'The Widower' for his many marriages and his wives ending up dead in one way or another.

"I have seen her wander about the Quicksand just looking to strike up conversation. Rather popular I suppose." — Quicksand Employee.
◢ Uncommon Rumors - A little more difficult to hear. Use sparingly or ask first!
"I've heard she was cold cocked for assaulting a miqo'te man before. Violent woman. Sexist too." — Bystander.
"She used to perform at Akias...or Saika? Whichever it was called. What an attention whore." — Former patron of Saika.
◢ Rare Rumors - Very rarely overheard. Please ask before using!
"I hear that girl resembles a notorious woman upon the Steppes. Thought to be a 'black widow' if you understand me. I pity any man who tries to wed her." — Random Xaela.
"Supposedly, she gives 'favor' to whomever she considers worthy of it. Rather fickle if you ask me. What does 'favor' even mean? Is she a prostitute?" — Eavesdropper.

RP Limits
I like to consider myself a flexible player who is willing to commit to a number of different types of scenes and role-play scenarios, but even I have my limits. If something is on the play list, assume it means yes, as long as it's within the context of the current play or ongoing plot. No's are typically a hard no, and it means don't ask.
I will play Almost anything. I have a lot of green lights. However I prefer to communicate as to what someone wants to do. I separate ooc from ic, unless someone intentionally is an jerk oocly to me or goes out of their way to do ridiculous stuff. Generally I go where the roleplay goes. There are however exceptions.
Ask about Darker elements: Torture, assault, kidnapping, imprisonment, etc. There might be stuff I am unaware of, so welcome to ask if you're not sure.
I won't play Maiming, dismemberment, killing my character. I plan to play the character for a while.
RP Hooks
While the below is by no means comprehensive, it's a kind of spring board for walk-up RP. Longer plots that are meant to run for more than a few quick RP's, please feel free to send me a tell so we can work out a good reason for our characters to get to know one another. I'm always looking for RP, unless I'm actively spamming PvE content.

Player Information
Player Note
There is a lot of information on this character wiki, but it is by no means completely comprehensive. There are chunks of backstory that are left intentionally vague so that details can be later added as developed through creative writing or in role-play revelation. Feel free to use Common or Uncommon rumors freely, if you want to use a Rare Rumor as a plot hook or to spark RP, I would ask that you send me a tell first, to make certain it's alright.
