Basic OOC Info

-Please feel free to message me here or in game for RP! I am usually too shy/busying myself with leveling classes.

I am very happy to field questions regarding my character concept, so if you have them- ask them! ^^

~While I'm flattered that many people have asked, Z'zhumii Umi neither needs nor wants a personal bodyguard at this time~

Appearance

Average height for a Sunseeker Miqo'te, Z'zhumii Umi has left several of her racial traits behind with the life she has chosen to live. Instead of the hunt-driven life of her youth and the body that comes with it, Umi has grown slightly zaftig in shape; a large bosom and a pair of hips to match, they meet at a slightly pinched middle.

Her skin is a wonderfully rich bronze colour, tanned by both genetics and daily sunbathing. While not exactly scar free, it is generally smooth with light freckling around her shoulders, back, and chest areas.

Z'zhumii is not a natural blonde. Born with brown hair, she has since taken to bleaching both the hair on her head and tail with lemon juice and concoctions made by the alchemist's guild. To prevent an frizzing and breakage, Z'zhumii uses natural oils to condition her hair- the fragrance of olives and sweet smelling flowers coming from such treatments.

Her wide eyes, with the typical slit-pupil of her people, are corn-flower blue in colour and are almost always lined in kohl and brushed with coloured dust according to the season. Her lips, in turn, are almost always stained with a dark lip paint, as lighter colours clash with her dark skin.

Always up to date on fashion, Z'zhumii Umi can be seen wearing the latest and most expensive outfits fresh from the Weaver's guild- from flouncing gowns of silk and gauze, to tight suit-style jackets rimmed with lace.

Personality

While Z'zhumii Umi was raised in the tribal life-style, she has long since removed herself from the Nuhn/Tia/Huntress dynamic she was raised on. Far too independent and stubborn, Umi never liked the idea of having a leader to dictate action for her.

Umi, despite what people may think due to her profession, is both asexual and aromantic. While finding she has no sexual desire for anyone she meets, nor the desire for a romantic partner, Z'zhumii Umi found the life of a Courtesan lucrative and easy to get the hang of; when you don't face the risk of falling in love with a client, business comes a lot more naturally.

Pious in her worship of Azeyma, Z'zhumii both wears many bangles and jewels based around her patron Goddess (including a sun-styled bindi) and attends the Sanctum of the Twelve at least twice a year in pilgrimage.

Courtesan

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 prostitutes keep safe.

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. 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.

Her many talents are often what is called called into play for her appointments, be she hired to dance at a party or talk politics and give advice, instead of just intimate relations. She has repeat customers that simply wish to have someone to confide in and talk to, and she is happy listen.

She charges big gil for her company;

75k gil plus tips to appear and perform at a function.

100k gil for an appearance as a guest's date at parties.

150k gil for a night of talk, laughter, and intimate moments. Catering included.

200k gil flat rate plus an extra 50k gil per day to be whisked away for a vacation.

She hopes to open up a Sagoli-styled business for both a classy bar and safe rent-room brothel to keep fellow workers safe from exploitation and hostile situations. Donations are welcome.
