Appearance & Personality

In-game-model is not accurate for how the character actually looks (game limitations). For a more accurate reference, you may go here (SFW).

Despite standing at a tall height (5'9") for a Miqo'te, Nalukai isn’t immediately visible as an outlier of her race. Her usual manner of dress tends to smooth out her edges and veil her physique. Upon closer inspection, however, one may notice that the sleeves of whatever she wears tend to cling to her upper arms and broad shoulders.
Squared palms with relatively short fingers sport a plethora of callouses, scars, and marks. Each wrist is encircled by a black leather bracer, held in place by what look to be steel snaps. The make of the bracers match a similar band around her neck.
The woman’s eyes hold thin, slitted pupils that stand out in contrast against the pale, steely blue-gray of her irises. The brows above them are, more often than not, furrowed. Evidence of this being the norm is already appearing in a faint crease between them. High cheek bones and a strong jaw and chin drop her out of the ‘pretty’ category by most standards. Those features, along with the scar over her nose and along the curve of her left cheek may, in fact, place her more in the ‘handsome for a woman’ bracket.
One of the many hallmarks of her race, Nalukai’s furred ears are sharply pointed; longer, hooked tufts sprout from the ends to curve upward and inward. They spring up from a curtain of straight, currant purple hair. Her angled bangs favor sweeping to the right side of her face and act as stage curtain to the show of many brow quirks. Past shoulder length, her hair is usually worn in a loose tail at the base of her skull; rarely is it worn down.
The other notable feature of a Miqo'te, namely her tail, is long and thickly furred, and holds the same bold purple coloring of her hair. As expressive as her face, her tail can be spotted ticking in a multitude of ways on any given occasion.
Her manner of dress greatly depends on where she is, or what activities she’s up to. It’s not uncommon to see her in a set of fierce, lightly plated leather armor with a black axe looming over a shoulder.
In terms of demeanor, it can be said that Nalukai is much like the sea she loves and calls home. On great days, she is a part of the background, quiet and restful. On not great days, when her expression is grim or hard, it may be best to stick to tamer, well-charted waters. On very not-great-days, it’s most definitely wiser to stay inland.

Rumor Mill

Some of these rumors are untrue or are greatly exaggerated. Please feel free to add your own rumors under PC!

◢ Common Rumors (Easily overheard)
"That's no Seeker, I can tell you that much. Any miqo'te that pale with those teeth has to be a mix." - Sun Seeker Miqo'te woman in Ul'dah
"You should've seen her face when the bird she bet on lost. I was worried she was going to start a fight in the stands then and there!" - Concerned bystander at the Gold Saucer
"If I hadn't seen it with my own two eyes, I wouldn't have believed it either. Sure, she's plenty sturdy for a miqo'te, but not even someone her size would stand a chance against a roegadyn - especially not that brute of a Hellsguard. But, sure enough, I spotted them trading blows outside the Tailfeather settlement not long ago. I almost went to find someone to stop them, but then they started laughing.." - Confused Elezen in the Dravanian Forelands


◢ Moderate Rumors (Moderately difficult to overhear)
"Yer lookin' for someone t'do what? Well.. I don' 'ave that kind o'sway, but I know someone that does - know of 'em, at least. Y'find a woman by th'name o'Manoa. I don' think there's a corner left in Eorzea she doesn' 'ave someone in that c'n 'andle yer.. problem." - Overheard in the Drowning Wench, Limsa Lominsa


◢ Rare Rumors (Very difficult or rarely overheard)
"Come t'think of it, someone lookin' a lot like 'er used to dock at Moraby fair frequently - back b'fore Dalamud came down. 'Ad a fine ship, from what I remember. Got on decently wit' th'locals, an' a bit more'n decent wit' this Sea Wolf captain that used t'berth there, too.." - Some Oldtimer at Moraby Drydocks


◢ PC Rumors (Rumors from the character's of other players)
"The most dangerous mistake you could ever make in dealing with her is allowing that accent to fool you into thinking she isn't smart. Underestimate her like that and you will end up gutted or poor. Maybe both." - Titus Artorius
"Careful crossin' that pirate lest ya end up with a broken jaw and a bruised pride. She needs to stop hidin' duck aphrodisiac on her person though, makin' me look like a bad pet owner." - Neeka
