Character
Pflaume Wineblood, pronounced Flaum, is a young runaway from a small hamlet deep within Ala Mhigo. Under the cloak of a heavy sandstorm, Pflaume fled from her hometown to find a new life in La Noscea.
Appearance
Pflaume is rather short for a Highlander. Her hair is black streaked with purple highlights. She always keeps it pulled back into a ponytail and braid or pulled under a bandanna. Her most distinctive marking is the purple marking across the bridge of her nose.
She tends to wear leather or woven clothing, though she's rather taken to outfits which look like dresses. She has a particular fondness for boots and goggles and anything purple.
Personality
At first glance, Pflaume appears to be a happy teenager with a positive outlook on life. Her motto is "no matter what happened in the past, the future will always be better." She strives to make strong friendships and values them above all else. She is thankful to find good people, though at times, she feels she is undeserving of such friendships. She uses stupid humor to lighten situations, sometimes inappropriately. She is genuinely sweet and generous, willing to help people out in their time of need.
As Pflaume has received close to little education, she doesn't know anything about books and can't read very well. As a lancer, that hardly matters as she does more stabbing than reading. She comes across as somewhat dumb though she has enough knowledge on how to survive and count her money. She is not very clever or witty, often saying stupid things which come across as just plain dumb or humorous.
Underneath all the layers of humor and happiness lies a rather sad girl. She'd lived a life of forced labor and loyalty, enduring the abrasive words of Imperial soldiers and her own father. She spent most of her time dreaming of exploring Aldenard and doodling pictures of chocobos and cactuars on her bedroom walls. She does everything to put that past behind her and pretend it never existed, but sometimes it just eats at her. She rarely lets anyone see the pain she carries in her heart, preferring her happier persona. If she acts happy, then those around her will be happy too. And if they're happy, she's happy.
Being from Ala Mhigo, some of her tendencies come off as a bit violent and even aggressive in battle. She has no hesitation to run straight into battle and has recently taken up the axe along side her lance work. Pflaume has no talent in magical arts.
Family
Pflaume comes from a long line of wine makers. Her family had become rather well known in the area, though outside Ala Mhigo, most have probably never heard of The Drunken Sabotender.
The winery specialized in making wine out of local fruits, including apples and plums. To use such unusual sources, the family invented and maintained its own specialized technology to create and refine the wine. The winery itself is built into a hillside. The family also created specialized storing tanks within the hillside to properly age the wine to perfection.

History
Pflaume was born into Garlean-occupied Ala Mhigo two years after the Garlean take-over into a family well known for their wine-making. She was born the same year as the battle with the dragons in Mor Dhona, leaving the Empire mostly preoccupied with battle then recovery.
Her hometown hamlet seemed relatively peaceful, given Ala Mhigo's rather recent bloody history. When Plfaume was 7, the Empire began forcibly recruiting anyone capable of fighting to their ranks. The battle with the dragons had effectively thinned out the Empire's numbers. The Amalj'aa's summoning of Ifrit had struck a bit of a nerve, and the Empire began amassing forces by the dozens. Many of the families had members drafted, including her own. Her mother was drafted as part a lancer, and her older brother as an archer. Her father was passed over, given that he supplied the armies with wine. He quickly complied, showing favor for the Empire.
Working to help her father in the winery, Pflaume quickly grew to despise the Empire. The soldiers made excessive demands and her father always quickly complied. She held no ill will towards her father but instead against the Empire. She hid the hatred deep within her heart, masking her actions and emotions with a peppy, cheerful persona. She had to be polite and mind her manners around them, after all, lest she lose her head.
Seventh Umbral Era
When Pflaume was 10, the soldiers began to move en masse towards the fateful Battle of Carteneau. The fall of Dalamud struck fear in most of the hamlet's population, and many of the older members volunteered to help out the Empire in some way. Her father suddenly turned angry, perhaps out of fear, lashing out at Pflaume verbally to work harder and do her part. For Ala Mhigan pride, he said. For the Empire.
After 5 years, Pflaume had enough, and she fled. One night, under the cloak of a heavy sandstorm, she wrapped herself in a thick cloak and stole a lance from her father's armory. Using the sandstorm as a cover, she traversed the edges of a canyon, avoiding the nearby outposts and the somewhat watchful eyes of Imperials. She traveled most of the night and the next day until she finally began seeing a change in scenery.
She hitchhiked part of the way south, traversing between several different and foreign climates until she got to the docks of Vesper Bay. There she stowed away on a ship bound for Limsa, preparing to start a new life on the island nation.
