Yayonzo Poponzo is a skilled lalafellan archer, born and raised within the confines of the Black Shroud. His proficiency with a bow led him to become a coveted archer under the Twin Adder, until he chose to step down following the events of the Dragonsong War. Since then, Yayonzo has branched off to become a personal courier, making his living by delivering high priority packages and letters in a timely manner.

After establishing himself as a reliable courier, Yayonzo sought to expand his influence and started his own company, headquartered in his homeland. Taking inspiration from the Shroud, the archer dubbed the company "the Rosewood Coterie," which is informally known as the Rosewood Post to those who employ their services.

Biography

Yayonzo was born within the limits of the Black Shroud, unlike his parents. He doesn't know much of their plight before he was born, but multiple hints over the years have led him to believe that they put everything they had into moving from Ul'Dah to Gridania. The reason for this is still unknown, though Yayonzo suspects that they preferred to raise a child in the green, lush scenery of the Shroud as opposed to the dingy, refugee-ridden streets of Ul'Dah.

As soon as he was old enough to wield a bow, Yayonzo's pure talent with the weapon shined through and made him a popular figure in Gridania. He enrolled at the Archer's Guild as soon as he was allowed, and his innate proficiency with the weapon quickly caught the eye of the Twin Adder. In their eyes, a talented marksman such as Yayonzo would be a devastating force to have positioned on their front lines. As his skills continued to develop, Yayonzo's parents were frequently visited by various high-ranking Serpents, who offered unknown compensation for their promise to keep their son interested in archery. They obliged, and continued to push Yayonzo toward his inevitable future as a member of the Twin Adder.

Relationships

♥ Romantic Interest, ♥ Sexual Interest, ♥ Platonic Love, ♦ Good Standing, ● Neutral Standing, ↓ Poor Standing

Romantic Interest

♥ TBD - Yayonzo is no stranger to romantic relationships, though he has yet to find a true significant other.

Good Standing

♦ Quill - Quill is Yayonzo's sassy chocobo that was gifted to him at a young age, mostly as a means to coerce him into joining the ranks of the Twin Adder, later on in life. Quill has been his closest companion ever since, and she never lets him forget it. Sometimes she'll tease him by stealing his hat and chucking it off to the side, an act of dominance that reminds the archer of who's really in control.

♦ Emma Vikhrov - A long-time "drinking buddy" of Yayonzo's albeit partially against his will. Emma, who has somewhat of a fascination with the tiny archer, frequently orders packaged to the Drowning Wench just to sit the lalafell down for a drink and a chat. Generally, these conversations see the sassy sellsword poking fun at Yayonzo over his shorter stature, and lack of control over his chocobo. Eventually, Yayonzo would invite her to join his newly formed company of couriers as the second-in-command, as he'd grown to respect her approach to combat and skills with a sword. Even though she constantly berates him in a playful manner, the archer can't help but consider Emma Vikhrov a close friend of sorts.

♦ Rerena Rena - Yayonzo came to know Rerena from an assignment they had both been ordered to take on by their respective guilds. They immediately began to respect one another, as the sight of another Gridanian lalafell was too rare to take for granted. During the assignment, the two worked together to fight off a rogue group of bandits that had set out to obtain a parcel that the lalafell were told to deliver. After a few skirmishes, the duo came out victorious, and came away from the assignment with a new friend.

Neutral Standing

● Elyn Merielle - A conjurer that joined the Rosewood Coterie early on in its formation. While she has an undeniable enthusiasm for traveling and giving the job her all, Yayonzo can't help but feel like Elyn is one to lie through her teeth without an issue. Something's off about her, but he can't quite put a finger on what it is, exactly.

Poor Standing
