When Baisha went into labor, Chavi reluctantly lied and convinced the others it would be a dangerous delivery so Baisha needed to be alone as she feared the baby may appear slightly phenotypically different due to, what she saw as, hideous foreign deformities of her granddaughter's lover. Baisha was strong and Yuel was born without much trouble. She named her Yuelji. Overtime, it grew apparent that Yuel partially inherited Renault’s pointed ears so Baisha and Chavi worked to create headpieces and fabrics to cover them from the rest of the tribe under the cloak of fashion. Yuel was raised through childhood to never remove her headpieces in public. <br> | When Baisha went into labor, Chavi reluctantly lied and convinced the others it would be a dangerous delivery so Baisha needed to be alone as she feared the baby may appear slightly phenotypically different due to, what she saw as, hideous foreign deformities of her granddaughter's lover.

She grew up taught by shamans to manipulate the earth around her. She learned how to dance, sing, write traditional poetry, interpret dreams, create medicines and poisons, meditate, etc. Baisha had a powerful personality and as a result Yuel was unsurprisingly obedient in her youth. | She grew up taught by shamans to manipulate the earth around her.

The journey across the sea and subsequently through Eorzea, opened Yuel’s eyes to various cultures and sceneries which inspired her and transformed her life. Once they hit Coerthas, Renault used his lingering power to pull some strings and provide a demure but cozy home for them in Coerthas while he attempted to reestablish himself in Ishgard at all costs. New identities were created for them and their names were changed to be regionally appropriate. Yuelji was changed to Yuel and Baisha was switched to Baiyenne, which she found distasteful. Vulpaine was created and chosen as their surname. For the time being, Yuel and Baisha were not to enter Ishgard as to not expose Renault. He returned as a war hero to the delight of his wife, Arette, who had turned radically to the Orthodox church of Ishgard, and to the contempt of his then young adult son, Yvain.

Two people in particular did not believe a word and they were his son and his rambunctious mother, Myrtane. Myrtane had established herself as a classical actress, prolific dancer, and diva of her time. Much like her son, she was wed out of duty and not love, but that never stopped her from entertaining suitors and admirers. She knew Renault and forced the truth out of him to be kept as their secret. His son Yvain, on the other hand, was merely suspicious of his father after he abandoned him. Yvain, being fed up with the aristocracy and inhumanity within Ishgard, built a split identity and considered himself a dark knight to protect the people. He hid his cause well from his devout to the church mother. Renault, however, knew nothing of what was occurring with his wife or son as he spent most of his time with Baisha and Yuel in Coerthas. | Two people in particular did not believe a word and they were his son and his rambunctious mother, Myrtane.

Myrtane was delighted to make acquaintance with them. She was thrilled to see one of Yuel’s eyes resembled hers. Stunned by Baisha’s beauty and ferocity and curious about Yuel’s underlying obscurity, Myrtane swore to them that she would see to it that they were safe to roam Ishgard and surrounding areas as they pleased. Yuel found her grandmother to be mystically impressive and spent as much time as she could with her. Over time, Myrtane declared Yuel her protégé in dance and theatre. Yuel combined traditional dancing techniques from Yanxia with Myrtane’s classical training, and even added her own elements of contemporary dance. <br> | Myrtane was delighted to make acquaintance with them.

The injustices within Ishgard were not lost on Yuel and she attempted to aid those who were disparaged by the system in any way she could. With her hopeful adolescent mind, she developed the idea that setting up dance classes in the Brume would help increase morale and give individuals an outlet for their anger and grief. She would collect food from a local bakery and offer it to anyone who joined her class. Seizing the opportunity of a free meal, the classes were full of people stretching and jumping around accordingly. | The injustices within Ishgard were not lost on Yuel and she attempted to aid those who were disparaged by the system in any way she could.

Yuel Vulpaine Vigilante Tragedienne About
Mostly resembling her mother in both stature and cultural identity, Yuel possesses slender features with a strong jaw and wide, upturned eyes. As is the tradition of her maternal family from the Yanxian highlands, her lightly freckled cheeks are adorned with faint gold tattoos. Despite her lack of interest in excelling at physical combat, Yuel gives into her vanity and keeps her body lean and toned. She focuses most of her muscle training on her core and legs for the semblance of agility. Scars & Markings: She has few, if any, noticeable scars. All acquired from her love of heights and overzealous acrobatics. Most are shallow and can be spotted painted along her shins and ankles. She is hesitant to show these to others, though she admires those with scars. Voice: Yuel possesses her mother’s resonant sing-song voice but with a deeper, sharp flow in her intonation. She has a subtle regionally Yanxian accent and dialect, but hyper-corrects it when meeting new people. Her tone is typically reserved and calculated until she is comfortable. Clothing: Her manner of dress is overstated and formal, but never apparently so. Every piece she wears holds a deep meaning to her and she spends a great deal of time and attention on her style. One will often catch her in deep reds or greenish-blues accompanied by golden accents. Customarily, she conceals a dagger under her clothing for personal protection, though, she isn't particularly adept in using it. Recently, she has been fortunate enough to travel to various cities across Hydaelyn and has adopted an extensive collection of fabrics and garments. Her wardrobe grows so rapidly, she is plagued by the paradox of storing such a considerable collection. She cannot find it in her heart to let go of any of her garments, leaving her guilty of hoarding apparel and accessories from her travels.
Accompaniment ¡Beware of upcoming wordiness!
Yuel has amassed several skills as well as certain ineptitudes throughout her life (( ♠ Leave an ask here or in-game mail for requests)):
Under the moniker, Neige D'or, Yuel utilizes a persona full of pageantry and brazen theatrics to guide those closer to their personal fashion enlightenment. Less glamorously, though only slightly, she also offers the service of styling a disguise for those who need to shield their identity. Styling a client, whether for entertainment or delinquency, involves listening to personal stories and backgrounds in order to withdraw the cornerstone of their essence and apply it to an ensemble best suited to them or their cause. She finds what she needs in the subtext of their tales, rather than the substance, using a technique she learned from her cultural psychology professor in Ishgard.
Greatly influenced by her grandmother and past tragedienne, Myrtane, Yuel is currently undergoing training in theatre arts, specializing in tragic or melodramatic roles; A stark contrast to her imperturbable demeanor. She finds the art of storytelling through performance deeply rewarding and adores sharing it with others. Recently, despite her unfavorable history with it, Yuel picked up dancing again as a hobby and a way to clear her mind meditatively. She often practices in harsh weather conditions and rough environments to improve her self-discipline. Dance is sacred to her and she takes it seriously, sometimes teaching others if they are interested in training with her. She believes in order for it to be authentic, the dance must be truthful and empowering. Her training involves extensive self-reflection.
She is capable of utilizing special tonics that may bring out the truth in others (usually alcohol, but she never tells her clients this). Additionally, she attempts to create ritual balms akin to the ones the elders of her late maternal family would make that had variable results. On occasion, the balms would place her target in a trance, throw them into a vivid dream/vision, or merely intoxicate them. ♠ She carries out such pursuits in complete secrecy and asks that her clients use a code name for themselves and for her. She meets in one of two obscure locations of her choice in either Ishgard or Kugane. Though, she is inclined to dramaturgy and selects scenic heights and extravagant costumes to conduct her business at the expense of security.
She had a dainty ornamented bow specially crafted for her by a dear friend which inspired her return to the field. She makes up for her physical ineptitude with her perception and discerning nature, though she is easily blindsided by those more experienced.
Some of these rumors are untrue, speculation, or are greatly exaggerated. Feel free to add your own rumors under the Player Character category!
