[edit]
"You need to decide what you want for yourself, my little lost leaf." - Twi's mistress, Lady Ito. Twi's premise is simple: she was born into the Tumet tribe, but she failed her sacred tree ceremony during her 10th summer. It was the Kahkol tribe who found her and cut her free. As one can imagine she has a severe inferiority complex about this, and sometimes wonders if she even deserves to be a Xaela because of her weakness. Her mistress doesn't refer to Twi as a little leaf fondly: she does it purely to remind Twi that up until now she has lived her life only as others have told her to. Like a leaf carried wherever the wind deigns it to go. But she isn't all doom and gloom! Despite her general insecurity over her heritage, she is proud to bear the name the Kahkol tribe gave her. She was inspired by their generosity, their understanding, and their mercy. How they viewed the world was very different from the Tumet, and her time spent with them made her question everything she had been raised to believe (primarily when it came to pride and prejudice. Book pun not intended!). So she became a very hard worker in an attempt to pay them back for giving her a second chance at life, which included running errands for the traders at Reunion. Twi was only with the Kahkol for four years. There was a merchant couple from Kugane that would frequent Reunion. They were incredibly interested in the cloths and patterns used in Steppe fabrics, and upon seeing that Twi had an interest and a knack for making such materials, the couple requested that Twi return home with them as an apprentice. Twi would then spend nine years (ages 14-23) living in Kugane. She learned how to read, write, and how to balance ledgers along with her sewing. Once or twice a year she would return to Reunion to trade on behalf of her masters and keep up with the changes in the Xaela's craft. However with each passing visit Twi's anxiety only grew: every year she seemed more and more removed from her people and her culture. Which played into her fears of not deserving to be a Xaela at all. This fear came to a head when one of her more recent trips unveiled that the Buduga tribe had decimated the Kahkol's home, which lead to their near extinction. While Twi is grateful that she was spared, it was a hard news to accept nonetheless. She no longer had a home waiting for her in the Azim Steppe if she ever wanted to return. It was the final nail in the coffin which lead Twi to believe she had no place with the Xaela. You can imagine her complete and utter shock when she came to Eorzea then! She sailed to Eorzea to study foreign trade on behalf of Mr. and Mrs. Ito, only to realize that there was a plethora of Xaela to be found. And with them came the customs of the Steppe. In general, there are two primary character arcs that I have in mind for Twi that will dictate her actions and general character growth. They are:
This section will be a bit sparse while I still look into glamour styles for Twi. However in general she prefers outfits that are easy to move in. Clean and simple with bright colors are always her favorite go-to's. Though if she can snuggle into a warm poncho she'll gladly do so. It makes her feel more safe and nostalgic.
Aspects That Stand Out:
Twi is a soft spoken and polite young lady. Her time with the Kahkol and with Lady Ito made her question (and eventually reject) the prejudice and pride the Tumet had originally instilled in her. Because of this she's a very open-minded person. She knows how horrible it feels to be judged and feel helpless, and so she strives to help others when she can. That being said: Twi faces intense anxiety that makes it incredibly difficult for her to make friends. At public events and gatherings you'll often find her wandering towards the food tables or a comfy corner by herself. She would rather people watch than force herself onto others. She's also not used to physical affection: there wasn't much to be found in the Steppe, and Hingashi culture is rather reserved when it comes to PDA. So as much as she'd love to hug and cuddle, she freezes in place at the thought of it.
