Character

General

A somewhat awkward Xaela, hailing from large caves in the Steppe. Pepper is a blacksmith, having learned her trade from her Lalafell mother, who was accepted into the tribe thanks to her own smithing abilities. She also had a twin brother, a warrior of their tribe that seeks to bring their group away from their older, archaic ways. Unfortunately, her tribe was very set in them, leaving her at a disadvantage upon fleeing to Eorzia.

As a child, Pepper was often teased due to her somewhat awkward Eorzian name, but never really took it to heart. She joined her mother in making most of the armor and weapons for their village, honing her craft as a master smith while gaining some proficiency in other languages.

Pepper's tribe was nomadic, often moving to new homes after raids from other Xaela tribes. Many of her friends owed their lives to her creations, inspiring her to only work harder on improving. Her brother was slain in battle and her mother insisted she take his place in the defense of their tribe. Still grieving the loss of her twin, Pepper fled the battlefield.

She remained in hiding for a year, making her way across the Steppe until she acquired an airship ticket to Eorzia, eventually ending up in Ul'dah. Pepper made fast friends with many of the refugees outside of the capital, trading her skill with hammer and anvil for food and shelter.

After a few weeks she was picked up by a Miquo'te named A'rec, who took her home on a whim. What she didn't know was the woman had brought her there as a gift for her wife to be, and after a stressful evening the two agreed to let her stay with them in exchange for cooking and cleaning their estate. Pepper accepted their offer, but still remains a young woman far from anything she used to call home, with hardly any understanding of Eorzian culture or customs.

Appearance

Pepper is a very small and mousy Au Ra, with short ebony locks that spike over the left side of her face, highlighting her overly bright emerald eyes. Her skin tone is abit darker,then most of the cave dealing types leaving her looking slightly tanned from her time outside gathering materials for her smiting ventures. She is often found wearing popper looking clothing, pretty much anything she can mangle together with what little money she has.

Behavior

Cheerful and friendly most of the time, though does often times experiences lack of faith issues, causing her to be rather shy at many large events or in meeting new people. She is ever curious about the new land she lives in and will even stray into danger places to see what is there how what people are up to if for no other reason then she simply wishes to learn and observes the goings on of the world. Pepper often when nervous will speak a more broken form of Eorzian, or start struggling with words, if she doesn't quite understand them. even with this she tries to stay friendly and kind to everyone she encounters.

Likes

Dislikes
