Mokhol was born on the eastern shores of Othard among the rest of the Haragin tribe. She has spent most of her life under the care and tutelage of her mother and father, learning skills from both so that she can become an invaluable member of her tribe. Her father, Suren, taught her how to fish and assist in the building of small boats and ships. Her mother, Mokhatai, taught her how to find and pick the proper herbs for healing and cooking, as well as how to swim in the great Ruby Sea. By her 12th summer, Mokhol had become her own person, taking trips with the adults of the tribe when they set out in search of resources and to trade with nearby tribes. By her 18th summer, Mokhol had grown into a beautiful and strong-willed woman. Unfortunately, her strong will did not sit well with many of the Haragini males and she went many summers without a single mating proposal. However, this did not cause her spirit to wane, instead she devoted her efforts towards helping the tribe prosper.
Everything in Mokhol’s life was going well until the day which would change her life forever. While on an expedition to collect herbs and ground fruits from the steppes, Mokhol and four of her kin we ambushed and imprisoned by several hyurs from Kugane. Over the course of 8 days, the Haragini were tied up and forced to hide under moldering pelts so they could be slipped past any guards or the overly curious. On the 6th day of their harrowing journey they were all thrown into the hold of a ship bound for Eorzea, along with about forty other captives. At least seven captives died on the way to Eorzean shores, four of those seven were Mokhol’s kin. Mokhol herself was mistaken for being dead and thrown overboard. The details here are vague, but it is obviously known that Mokhol survived and was brought back from the brink of death; no one knows by whom.
Since her arrival and eventual recovery in Eorzea, Mokhol has spent time wandering the landscape and learning the languages of the strange people there. For a time she found refuge with a tribe of Auri who taught her a great deal about the new world she walked. After some time, Mokhol decided it was time to head out on her own, search for her tribe, and seek out those who would pay for her skills. She found better when a former adversary of hers approached her with a proposition to begin a new way of life; a new path to fulfillment and success. Now she provides healing and protection for those in need while still searching for the means to find the way back to her tribe. For the first time since before the day she and her kin were taken, she feels hope again.
OVERALL APPEARANCE
Mokhol stands at 5 fulms, 2 ilms tall. She has a slight, but athletic form and moves with a cat-like grace but without exaggeration. Her bright, aquamarine eyes stand out amongst the rest of her features, giving her an intense look without having to make any facial expressions. She has long, silver-blue hair with black tips, and her complexion is a soft, ashen-blue hue. Her overall appearance is usually very unassuming, and she tends to wear conservative attire in different shades of blue. More often than not, she appears unarmed which only adds to the docile demeanor she often portrays. Her voice is soft and smoky, giving her an air of nobility; until her nervousness or aggression kick in.
MARKS, PIERCINGS & TATTOOS
Mokhol has no tattoos, but has several markings on her body. She is missing a scale from her chest which has been replaced with a metal and wood replica scale. She has the echo of a scar on her chest from fighting against a scythe-wielding opponent. There’s another scale missing from the center of the patch of scales across her upper back and neck. The only piercings she has are in her horns, and there are a few minor scars across her body, but that are usually covered.
PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE
In the beginning, Mokhol was more like to offer a little casual conversation before judging someone’s intentions or character. However, after spending considerable time in Eorzea and being subjected to the harsh world within it, she’s now more likely to give the cold shoulder over even a few words. She still has a very forgiving and gentle heart, but it’s often hidden by the mental coldness she displays through her actions and words. And, not much for being touched by strangers, she has been known to swing first and ask questions later. These days, her real self is concealed by a thick, barbed armor which prevents the goodness inside of her from being wounded as she had been in the past; only patience and a keen eye will ever recognize the ‘true self’ she hides within.
LIKES
The Sea – Since the moment she was born into it, Mokhol has loved the sea and anything that comes from it. While she understandably fears what terrors the sea holds, she has control of her fears and does not let them interfere with her desire to be a part of it.
Stories – A good tale is worth more than platinum in Mokhol’s view. She will sit and listen to tales short and long, often providing refreshments for the story teller. She enjoys adventurous tales, but tends to avoid the stories of everyday drudgery; the everyday struggles are meant for conversation, they do not make for good tales to pass on to others.
Exotic Food – Mokhol really enjoys the tastes and textures of exotic foods and drinks. Although she's most fond of seafood, she also enjoys just about any strange and unique dish someone could come up with.
DISLIKES
Chaos – Mokhol was raised simply and still hasn’t fully adjusted to the hustle and bustle of the Eorzean cities and trade-routes. Although she has been trained to focus and meditate, she is unable to function properly if there is too much chaos.
Slavers – Having nearly become a slave herself, Mokhol abhors slavery and slave-trading, regardless of race or purpose. She will happily hunt down and kill any slavers known to her. And, although she may not free any slaves herself, she harbors a silent interest in destroying future slave-trading.
Sahagin – It may seems strange, given her seafaring history, but Mok doesn't care much for any of the fish folk that wander the shores. She sees them as abominations and will not deal with them unless absolutely forced to do so.
KNOWLEDGES & HOBBIES
Gardening : Whether at the stronghold or her own home, Mokhol loves to cultivate plants and trees. She takes loving care of her garden and often sells the fruit of her labor to merchants and private customers. Most of this stems from what her mother taught her about herbs and ground fruits.
Swimming : Swimming is Mokhol’s all-time favorite activity. When she needs to wind down from the day, or cool off when her anger gets to be too much, she can often be found floating in the surf off some beach in La Noscea, or wading in the waters off the Mist.
Hunting : Whether chasing down rodents for their meat, or taking down an experienced foe, Mokhol enjoys the thrill of the hunt and will often bring back small trophies of her exploits. A few small trophies even adorn the walls of her private pub.

”Julia is my sister; not by blood, but by fate. I adore her and will give of myself to keep her safe. We met when I joined the free company she’s a part of. It feels so long ago. She is such a gentle soul with so much to offer this world, I wish nothing but happiness and love for her throughout her days. And that she’s able to continue cooking until the Dusk Mother calls her away. If you ever get the chance, try her cooking…she’s amazing!”
“Khal and I have a history; we were once meant to marry. Unfortunately, events took a strange turn and that day never came. I harbor no ill-will towards Khal, quite the opposite; I wish him as much joy as the stars can provide. He is a great and powerful Qerel, deserving of any number of titles used by the greatest hunters. Though he may not speak much, when he does, it’s good to listen. He is no simple brute. There’s more beneath his looming gaze, if you’re patient enough to see it.”
”Odgerel, like Julia, is my sister by fate. We met the same way Julia and I met, through the same free company. She’s very clever and even-tempered, and even disturbingly calm now and then. We don’t talk much these days, but we’re there for each other when needed or requested; and, I’d kill whomever she desired to have erased from this world.”
”Ongaku is vexing. He spends a good deal of time searching for the bottom of a bottle. Now usually I’d say someone like that is drowning their sorrows, but in his case, he doesn’t really care for anyone, so I’m not sure why he drinks as he does. At least he can still fight just fine while drunk, he’s proven that much. A stoic, fighting drunkard…Eorzea is full of surprises.”
UPDATE: “Ongaku and I are...umm...together now. It's a strangely unexpected thing, and I guess one wouldn't have known it to look at us and how we reacted to one another, but here we are...and I'm happy. Moreso than I think I've ever been."
UPDATE: “Ongaku and I are, by some miracle of fate, now bound to one another through the Ceremony of Eternal Bonding. I couldn’t be happier!”
“Tilidi is a good soul and has an innocence I haven’t seen since I was back home with my tribe. He can be spirited one moment and aloof the next, making him a little unpredictable, but not in an unpleasant way. He has the potential to become one of the greatest healers, and I hope to be there on the day he is properly awarded for his skills.”

◢ Common Rumors - Easily overheard. Use these freely!
■ " Mokhol? The Haragini? Yeah, I’ve seen her around the city, but her looks have changed considerably since she first arrived. Don’t look nothing like she used to. Well, except her scales, but those always stay the same, don’t they? Never talked to her myself, but I hear she’s got a temper these days. I’ll just keep my distance if it’s all the same to you. " ~ Renald, Hyur patron of The Drunken Wench
■ " I haven’t seen much of her lately. She used to swing by often to trade with the merchants, but not anymore. I don’t think we’ve seen her around here in about a month or so. We’re concerned, of course. She’d come through here with a smile and a spring in her step; always cheered up the downtrodden. Maybe someday she’ll come back. " ~ Hatsuo, Raen, Independent Trader, Gridania

Bad luck be fall’n on those get near ‘er, males ‘o ‘er own kind, mostly. ‘Eard one fell dead at ‘er feet, ‘nother went fell crazy, an ‘nother jus’ up and disappear’d. " ~ R’qepi, shifty Miqo’te
