Quirks
- Superstitious: Samilen is extremely superstitious when it comes to the field of botany or the forests around Gridania, so much that it dictates the sorts of tasks he'll take for the botanists' guild on certain days.
- Selectively Mute: Except in very specific situations, Samilen only communicates through handspeak (sign language). He carries a notebook around to write in for those who don't understand him.
- Number Aversion: He can't explain it all that well, but Samilen severely dislikes certain numbers to include the number four and most multipliers of it (8, 12, 16, etc).
- Stimming: When nervous, Samilen likes to self-stim. He tends to comb his fingers through his hair and play with the fur on his tail, though when greatly disturbed it can reach something akin to self harm--he starts pulling at his own hair and fur unless distracted or someone else stops him.

Early Life
Childhood
Samilen Jawantal was born to a small family in Limsa Lominsa and is the eldest child of three. He has two younger sisters, N'mahzi (21) and N'agici (18), and all three were born to father N'obuli Tia (Miqo'te) and mothers Sami (Miqo'te) and Lenphi (Hyur).
Sami and Lenphi were born, grew in and married within the city-state of Gridania, but later moved to Limsa Lominsa in search of prosperous jobs, as both of them were skilled carpenters and Limsa was then with a sore need for their skills in the growing demand for ships.
The two of them met N'obuli, a local fisherman and well-known womanizer at the time. Over the course of several years he managed to win the hearts of both Sami and Lenphi–or at least, that’s in his own recounts of the history. Regardless of the truth behind their story of romance, the two women eventually took to his charms and settled down together within the seaside city-state.
Several months after the three of them married officially, their first son was born: Samilen. He was named after both of his mothers as part of Sami’s values, and quickly proved himself to be quite the handful. Until he was a young teenager, Samilen got into trouble very often around the docks of Limsa: stealing fish, playing pranks, getting into fights with other kids. There seemed to be no end to the chaos he could get himself into (many likened to say that he took after his father, N'obuli).
Adolescence
Several years after N'mahzi was born, Samilen found his calling in archery and botany, two skill sets that were not at all common in Limsa nor its surrounding areas.
Though his parents had reservations about allowing Samilen to take up a skill that may lead him into the growing skirmishes against the Garlean Empire, as many other parents were for their not-yet-adult children, they allowed him to move back to Gridania to learn archery and botany while under the care of extended family.
He took to both skills very quickly and soon became well-known across others of his age for his quickness, dexterity and extraordinary aim with a bow, but also his curiosity and enthusiasm in learning the art botany and later carpentry.
On the eve of his 16th nameday, Samilen joined the ranks of Order of the Twin Adders as an initiate. Though there was much discrimination against Miqo'te, especially Keepers, Samilen did his best to prove his worth both as an archer and a person while under the mentorship of NIjoh'a Jesyho, a man who would help guide the young Jawantal through many a hardship and periods of growth.
He honed skills both physical and emotional, though nothing could have prepared him for what happened on the year of his 20th nameday: The Great Calamity. Samilen was one of many young fighters who were tasked with defending Eorzea from the Garlean Empire on the Carteneau Flats on that fateful day--and one of few who were left alive to speak of the horrors he had encountered.
But speak of them he never did, as Samilen quickly found himself troubled by the emotional turmoil the battle had wrought upon him. The loss of friends and allies, the visions of pain and suffering--the memories follow the man wherever he goes, leaving it difficult for him to build relationships with people or to even speak aloud.
Recent Times
Though still dealing with the trauma of five years past, Samilen is still very much a productive member of the Gridanian homeland--he can often be found working hard within the botanists' or carpenters' guild, hoping that one day he'll be able to lay to rest the ghosts of loved ones that continue to haunt him.
Samilen is no longer officially a member of the Twin Adders--after The Great Calamity, he resigned to live the rest of his life in a manner far more peaceful than that of a soldier. Despite this, he still is recognized prominently among the members who knew and fought beside him, and is regularly welcomed to train up-and-coming archers when the extra help is needed.
In recent days, Samilen is most likely to be found within Gridania or its surrounding forests, often tasked by one of the guilds he is prominently a member of, such as the botanists' or carpenters' guild.
