Michishio Sakanoue
[edit]
Michishio Sakanoue is the 23 year old assistant to and fiancée of the commander of Yōsai’s militia, Garren Alder. Though she wields no actual authority, she has shown herself adept at helping manage the militia's affairs while being discreet enough to stay largely behind the scenes. Despite her weak, easily forgotten presence, Michishio is hardworking and efficient when it comes to business. Having been in Eorzea less than two summers, she still has a moderate Doman accent and a smattering of cultural misunderstandings.
Near penniless upon arrival to Eorzea, Michishio registered herself as an adventurer in Gridania to take up a spear and complete the odd leve to earn her keep. Not given to violence by nature, adventuring swiftly fell to the wayside when she secured a job at the Argentate cafe, serving tea and refreshments in exchange for a modest stipend and a place to stay. When the Argentate evolved into a bar and lounge, she easily made the transition to serving stiffer drinks. All the while, she made quiet inquiries about a friend of the family and with the help of a few acquaintences, was successful in locating him.
At Michishio's suggestion, Garren resigned from his guard post at Revenant's Toll to sign a militia contract with the Aureate Ward, a company loosely associated with the Argentate by merit of also being under the umbrella of enigmatic investor Luther Aldric. Soon thereafter, she made the acquaintence of Yahata Ryuga, lord of the Ryuga family and head of the Gekokujo, a small clan of warriors ousted from its home in Doma and sworn to fight Garlean encroachment wherever it surfaced. Many visits and several moons later, Michishio had become a personal friend of Yahata and his younger sister Nalani as well as a common sight in the Ryuga household. Unfortunately, this was not to last. Yahata disappeared one day amidst allegations of cowardice and philandering, while the Gekokujo swiftly restuctured under the auspices of the newly ascendant house Okamura. Though remaining on friendly terms with the Gekokujo, Michishio began to distance herself, afraid of being drawn into political machinations she ill understood. With the Argentate closing its doors due to a change in management of the Aureate Ward, Michisio's work ethic had won her enough favor to be retained as a Hingan translator for business documentation. She spent a number of quiet moons being occasionally spotted in various quiet places around Ward headquarters with her head buried in a stack of documents and an ever present cup of tea and quill near at hand. Even this did not last however, and when the Aureate Ward shifted its focus from auctioneering, curio collecting, and business ventures to the acquisition of dangerous artifacts and the hunting of voidsent, the quiet Doman found herself assigned as personal assistant to her friend Garren, freshly promoted to lieutenant of the militia.

Aspects That Stand Out:
Michishio is a quiet, modest Raen who speaks relatively little of herself, or indeed at all. Though not at all unfriendly, her unswerving adherence to polite, formal manners and indirect nature make drawing her out a matter of time and patience both. It's often difficult to determine quite what she's thinking, as her steady of composure and flawless decorum rarely betray anything more than the faintest hints of interest, amusement, or uncertainty. Nevertheless, she is an adept conversationalist, even if reluctant to engage of her own initiative.
