Manmi Avagnar is an Au Ra of the now extinct Avagnar clan from the Azim Steppe of Orthard.
After years under the Adarkim clan, Manmi defected in the night, finding her way to Gridania after a journey that began as a stowaway on a Doman ship. Now fervently studying the art of conjury, Manmi is committed to spending the rest of her life learning what it means to live in peace.

Hobbies

  • Botany

As she spends a great deal of time in Gridania, Manmi has taken great interest in the nearby plant life. Her experience as a nomad in Orthard has given her extensive survivalist skills.

  • Cooking

Manmi appreciates any activity that makes use of her restless hands, and finds great satisfaction in cooking meals with ingredients she collects.

Appearance

Hair/Fur: Black
Skin: Ashen Blue
Eyes: Yellow (Left), White (Right)
Height: 4 ft. 7 in.
Weight: 90 Ponz
Build: Slim, bordering on frail

Manmi has downcast eyes, one of which always seems to be covered one way or another. The dark circles under her eyes are silent verification that she spends many a night awake, for reasons unknown.
Since defecting, Manmi has kept her hair short out of convenience and a hope that a change in appearance would make her less recognizable. As of late it has grown out slightly.
Manmi carries herself with a poised if not rigid demeanor, hoping her staunch posture gives her an air of dignity. She gets easily flustered, apparent by the rush of blood to her face.

Personality

  • Alignment

    Chaotic Good
  • Motivation

    Manmi hopes for two things- to master the art of conjury, and to seek out any other Au Ra belonging to her lost clan.
  • Disposition

    Demure, at times cold. Becomes enthusiastic at the discovery of new things.
  • Outlook

    "Do not seek forgiveness, for it will not ease the burden. It weighs as it should." Manmi wants not for a return to her old life, but to create a new, more compassionate one with her experiences.
  • Positive personality traits

    Studious, Empathetic, Watchful, and an Idealist (though some would use the term Hopeless Romantic)
  • Negative personality traits

    Impulsive, Stubborn, Naive
  • Miscellaneous quirks

    Manmi likes to collect odd (and often ugly) trinkets, as she finds them amusing. When idle, she is prone to fidgeting with her hands.

Biography

Manmi was but a child when the Avagnar were absorbed by the Adarkim. Not understanding the blood spilled around her, she fought hard to be recognized as useful to the Adarkim despite her small stature. It was only when she was 8 years of age did her parents divulge the full details of the conflict to stop her from going to battle for her subjugators. Learning of her true clan name, Manmi became indignant, refusing to follow the orders she previously obliged and telling the other clan children of her real origins. When word got to the adults of Manmi's actions, she would soon learn the price of her stubborn pride.
Begging for their daughter's life to be spared, Manmi's parents gave their lives as retribution for her recalcitrant behavior, and in their passing subjected her to years of forced obedience to the Adarkim. After the slaughter, Manmi was severely beaten, only being allowed to rejoin the clan on two conditions: she had to survive her injuries and make her way back to the clan as they traveled, and never speaking of the Avagnar again. Through her budding knowledge of conjuring, Manmi was able to ease her wounds; knowing that traveling the steppe alone would lead to certain death, she decided to return to the Adarkim. While never again daring to brandish her name to those around her, she kept in her heart a seed of sorrow for the consequences of her actions and a seed of hatred for the conflict between clans and the violence it caused. It was in this time she began to look past simple conjuring to more advanced studies, seeking to provide succor rather than struggle. Knowing her growing affinty towards a peaceful way of life was conflicting with her intense desire for revenge, Manmi secretly wished for an end to her suffering and mental turmoil.
Years later, Manmi looked up at the stars as her clan slept. Upon the thought of spending the rest of her life locked in ceaseless conflict with rival clans, she made the rash decision to slip out in the dark of night, wandering for days before coming upon Doma. It was from the Doman docks she made her way to the city-state of Gridania, hearing of the conjurer's guild housed there. She hopes one day to master the use of light magic and use it for good, forgoing the ways of her predecessors.

Romantic Interest

Troifort Ceauteceaux - After a long day toiling under the Thanalanian sun to fulfill a request for Gridania's botany guild, Manmi retired to the Quicksand for much-needed rest. While sitting alone, she was approached by an Elezen man clad in heavy armor, bearing a scar on his right eye. Though wary of the stranger's friendly and affectionate manner, they quickly became close. She admires him for his strength, which reminds her of home and brings her comfort. She takes solace in finding another outsider to these strange lands.
