A few of the remaining crew claimed they were taking their dues as they took the ship over along with her assets, using both guile, experience and the weakness of mourning to their favor. It left Mana with little gil to her name and no home to seek shelter, essentially leaving her to the mercy of the docks and street life of Limsa Lominsa. </p> |

Eventually a courtesan took notice of the young woman's potential beneath the grime and rags. The chance encounter opened doors to a new life as primarily an exotic dancer for several locales. Several years passed as Mana made her life as a seaside dancer and with the territory came dangers, forced expectations and a darker chapter that she often attempts to forget. Often caught under the thumb of mercenaries and loan sharks, Mana did her best to follow the flow of her life. On a few occasions she also extended a hand to help others attempting to hide from both the law and lawless along with smuggling goods now and again.</p> |

Mana Mizu The Ocean Lily Contents[edit]
Personality
Appearance A subtle sway of her hips and gentle footsteps usually accompany Mana's gait to give an impression of quiet grace. The years spent dancing, traveling and watching over her shoulder have led to such a habitual walk with her petite build. Even though her height is on the short end of the spectrum for her race, her small frame aids in providing the illusion of long, slender legs. She is by no means physically built or even hinting at an ounce of strength, but her persistent walks and past professions have created a faintly toned, healthy build with special emphasis to her abdomen and rear.
Delving into more colorful details, Mana is relatively pale with a hint of sun-kissed skin from both a combination of an outdoors life and stubborn pigmentation. Her scales and clear, Au Ra markings are a vanilla white as is common to the Raen although she often adorns some of her features in silver jewelry, especially along her tail and horns. Mirroring the color of her eyes but in a lighter shade, Mana's hair is a skylit blue with streaks of snowy white tresses intermingling in a few locks or towards the end of some strands.
Clothing & Accessories Her attire changes depending on her travels and what goals she may have in mind day to day. If she had her desires fulfilled, nearly everything she wore would be well-made and tailored, yet she is not made of gil and cannot afford such consistent luxuries. Unused to the dry heat of Ul'dah, Mana dresses a little sparsely in shorts or skirts, although she favors leather shoes or boots despite anything else in such attire. In a more comfortable setting, she gravitates towards robes or dresses, especially enjoying the silks and styles of Doma- feeling as if she touches upon some of her heritage which was lost to her. Most consistent of any style, Mana enjoys jewelry when it can be afforded or acquired and takes great care to maintain and keep such items. It is not uncommon to see her with specially-crafted silver to form rings along her tail or tiny dangling chains. Rarely does she acquire ornate gems for such jewelry due to their prices, but a few special pieces are kept guarded.
