==Appearance==
  
-While I am ERP friendly and Umi is a Courtesan, that is NOT the only aspect of her roleplay I wish to act out.
+
Dark skinned and of dark hair, Z'zhumii Umi can come off a little intimidating at times. Coming from the Sagoli desert in the south of Thanalan, Z'zhumii is used to dressing for the heat- wearing purdah veils or fanciful turbans often to block the sun's harsh rays.
 
 
To discourage people focusing on that one part of Umi, I charge actual gil for her services as listed in the A Courtesan section.
 
 
 
  
-I AM happy to RP Umi as a mistress to an established/married couple ONLY if both roleplayers consent to those actions OOCly.
+
Built for a life more of comfort than combat, Z'zhumii Umi is a cushy hour-glass figure; soft and supple where others are often hardened. Five foot one, she's average height for a miqo'te woman. Her bosom is full and round, and her hips are wide. ''Zaftig'' would be the best word to describe her. Her long, strong legs are often underestimated and her feet are dainty. No one could mistake her for a pleb. Z'zhumii's hands are free of callouses and scars, silky smooth to the touch and tipped with gold-painted nails. When she is on pilgrimage, or at a special occasion, Z'zhumii Umi paints her hands with gold in intricate designs.
  
Being sneaky behind your RP partner's back is not cool, and I reserve the right to close all contact with those who choose to do that.
+
Her long black hair, thick and glinting in the light, is bound back in a long braid that reaches just below her midsection. Often flowers or gem-encrusted broaches are set into the pleats, offering a unique look every day.
  
 +
Contrasting with her dark complexion, Z'zhumii's eyes are icy blue. Wide-set and regularly lined with black kohl, her frosty eyes are always adorned with gold dust at the outer corners. She is almost never seen without her face being made-up. Her nose, unlike many of her kind, straight and slightly hooks at the end. Her left nostril is almost always adorned with a golden stud; on special occasions, she wears a large golden ring with a chain connecting to an ear.
  
-If you wish to use one of the RP hooks I have listed below, or have one of your own, please message me! I am happy to make connections for both current roleplay and backstories.
+
Truly a woman of Ul'dah, her fashion sense is born of the Weaver's guild and is often on the cutting edge of the times. Billowing pants, pleated skirts, and dresses embroidered with scenes of her home-land are her favorites, and are usually paired with a plethora of jewels.
 
 
 
 
==Appearance==
 
Umi is an average height for a Sunseeker Miqo'te female, at five fulm one ilm.
 
Her figure is generally sleek and comfortable- minimal, yet still feminine curves. Her bosom, however, is ample and almost always framed with low cut tops and brass bangles.
 
Lightly bronzed, Umi maintains her tanned skin by sunbathing daily and has thus gathered a spattering of light freckles over her shoulders and back.
 
 
 
Z'zhumii's soft, platinum-blonde hair is kept swept up in a classically fashionable updo, the sides braided and left to dangle.
 
 
 
Umi's eyes, with the characteristic slit-irises of the Sunseeker tribe, are a charming periwinkle blue. Often lofted into a dreamy sort of look, Umi's eyelids are often powdered with a lovely cornflower blue color to better enhance her eyes.
 
Her soft, plush lips are painted a rich, deep coral colour, and both her finger and toenails are lacquered with shimmering pearl paint.
 
 
 
Z'zhumii Umi carries herself with the grace that her profession requires; her posture and gait are like that of a woman of wealth and nobility.
 
Almost every step she takes is accompanied by a myriad of tinkling bells, chiming bangles, and jingling coins.
 
  
 
==Personality==
 
==Personality==
Z'zhumii Umi is a self-made woman in the city of coin, and she takes great pride in that fact- even if some look down on her for her choice of work.
 
 
She is a sunny, cheerful young woman who enjoys playful banter and secduction of both the body and mind.
 
Despite the common perception of women in her profession, Z'zhumii is an intellectual and truly must be in order to be as successful as she is.
 
Studious in political and historical matters, as well as artistic endeavors, Umi tries to keep up on current events so that she may act as confidant and even counsel to her patrons.
 
  
Like many other Sunseeker Miqo'te, Umi is a devotee to Azeyma, the goddess of the sun.
+
While Z'zhumii Umi was born and raised in a wandering Sunseeker tribe, she has not held onto the ideals of her family group.
Pious to a fault, she regularly makes offerings to the goddess and will take pilgrimage to the Sanctum of the Twelve (considering Azeyma's proper temple is no longer a viable option) at least once a year.
+
She is not fond of the idea of Nunh/Tia dynamics, and did not fit in well with her tribe as she grew older.
  
==A Courtesan==
+
Clever and hungering for knowledge, Z'zhumii Umi is constantly collecting and reading tomes on various subjects. She can match a chirurgeon in a discussion on the body, and trade historical stories with scholars. It helps with her business greatly.
There are many misconceptions regarding Umi's work as a courtesan - that it is unclean, unsavory, and a form of slavery.
 
While slavery in the sex trade is common and tragic, courtesans and slaves are completely different in both nature and practice.
 
  
Umi chose her profession- it was not foisted upon her and she was not put into shackles, figuratively or literally, and is quite happy with all the work entailed.
+
Very proud, and perhaps a fair bit vain, Z'zhumii holds herself in high regard. She would never dare to throw a tantrum or harass anyone who might insult her, but she might never speak to such a person again, and perhaps attempt to ruin them socially through rumor and wit.
  
Always wanting to keep up to date on the latest news, dances, and musical compositions, Umi spends much of her day seeking tutelage on current events and fashionable pastimes, never wanting to seem out of date.
+
Z'zhumii is a pious woman as well.
 +
Taking pilgrimage to the Sanctum of the Twelve at least twice a year, Z'zhumii also practices in private with a small altar and various sacred rites.
 +
Much of her income, when not dedicated to her lifestyle and standard of living, goes towards her worship of the sun goddess.
 +
She wears a red bindi at all times in honor of Azeyma.
  
Her clothing and jewelry choices, on the contrary, blatantly ignore the current and ever changing fashions that rise and fall in Ul'dah.
+
Z'zhumii is flirtatious and coy, especially with customers, but she holds a secret; She is actually asexual and aromantic.
Instead, Umi prefers classical and timeless clothing that she knows will not suddenly go out of style a week after it had been introduced.
+
She harbors no lust for anyone, and does not yearn for romantic love. Platonic is the farthest she can feel for others, and that suits her just fine.
All of her wardrobe is finely crafted and made of some of the best fabrics and bangles available.
 
  
The services of a courtesan are many.
+
==Courtesan==
Sex is a part of it, yes, but that is not always the case and not all of her work.
 
Umi attends parties and dances at the whims of her patrons as a sort of “paid guest”, intended to keep the atmosphere lively with music, witty banter, dancing, and light flirtation.
 
She is skilled in the harp and harpsichord, the lute and flute, as well as formal and informal dancing.
 
Her work also demands that she keep on top of political intrigue- both to avoid a possibly disastrous partnership as well as share juicy gossip with powerful clients.
 
  
Should a time come that Z'zhumii finds a particularly wealthy, needy, and most of all devoted patron, she is like to become an official mistress and cut her services down to the more public appropriate.
+
Z'zhumii Umi is a courtesan.
 +
She is not ashamed to be a sexworker- on the contrary Z'zhumii works hard to both educate others on her profession, as well as help her fellow courtesan and lesser escorts keep safe.
  
For private bookings, Umi goes for at least 25,000gil a night.
 
Gifts of gil, clothing, jewelry, or objects are not included in her fee.
 
  
==History==
+
While Z'zhumii Umi was born a tribal Sunseeker, she managed to crawl her way up the ranks of Ul'dahs social sphere with education and primal wit.
Z'zhumii Umi, obviously, comes from one Sunseeker Ziz tribe.
+
Having studied dance, music, singing, politics, history, military fare, and courtly manners, Z'zhumii now sits comfortably as an Ul'dahn favorite with a few very rich patrons.
 +
She has a library full of books on various subjects which she loves to share, and is happy to bring some along for appointments who wish to learn something new.
  
She was raised in the typical tribal manner in the Sangoli desert, with one presiding Nunh, a few Tia, and many strong women.
 
While life was comfortable to a degree, Umi was not fond of having a breeding male 'chosen' for her.
 
  
She learned from an early age, due to the mistakes of her mother, that while one Nunh might favor and lavish you with gifts, his replacement might disregard you entirely.
+
While not a natural at the talents she now has, Z'zhumii Umi is a skilled artisan of various catagories.
Umi wanted to be in some control of who she could be with and what she could get out of them.
+
She can play the harpsichord, harp, and drums.
 +
Umi performs as well, noted for her sultry Sagoli-styled dances, but can also dance to more modern, courtly fashions.
 +
Her skills are not just for titillation, either; Umi is a learned woman who can talk politics and history with those interested, and is often hired not as a carnal companion, but as an adviser and confidant.
  
At age sixteen, Z'zhumii Umi traveled with a small trade caravan from her people to Ul'dah and upon seeing the sparkling city and some of the street dancing Miqo'te girls, parted from her tribe to join them.
 
There was a sense of freedom witht these women that she had never seen before- she earned her own money, she got to do what she wanted with said money, and most importantly she could be with whomever she chose to be with.
 
  
A few years of dancing earned Umi enough to take steps to a higher calling- hiring a tutor so that she could become educated in more worldly things than desert survival, buying her way into the balls of the noble class to make precious contacts, and finally rented a high end loft in the Goblet.
+
With an eye for business, Umi has intentions of opening up her own high-class bar.
She became a courtesan.
+
Investors and staff are already being sought out.

Basic OOC Info

This character is based off of a mix of Arabic and Indian cultural history as well as historical courtesans (Tawaif).

The player of this character is a sexworker who studies sexwork in history- Any whorephobic, sexist comments or behavior on an OOC basis will result with an addition to my blacklist.

This character is now retired and currently does not exist.

Appearance

Dark skinned and of dark hair, Z'zhumii Umi can come off a little intimidating at times. Coming from the Sagoli desert in the south of Thanalan, Z'zhumii is used to dressing for the heat- wearing purdah veils or fanciful turbans often to block the sun's harsh rays.

Courtesan
