Who is Z'zhumii Umi?

===Appearance and Personality===

Umi, as she prefers to be called, is a very typical looking Miqo'te woman.

Her skin is a lovely light-bronze thanks to sunbathing so often, her shoulders spattered with light freckles but free of the scars that so many adventurers end up wearing. Not living the life of some daring adventurer, Umi's figure is more comfortable and soft than muscular or lithe, but at the same time not quite curvy. Z'zhumii's hair, while naturally a sandy-blonde colour, is bleached constantly to a near platinum colour with the use of lemon juice and Thanalan's sunlight. Her eyes, with the narrow pupils the Sunseekers are famous for, are a bright and shining blue- her eyeshadow is the same colour. On her forehead, just between her brows, Umi wears a red gem bindi as a symbol of her devotion to the Sun Goddess.

Personality wise, the girl is full of sunshine. Always attempting to see the good in times of strife, Umi is prone to smile and try to cheer up those around her- in these troubles times, with war and primals on everyone's minds, Umi tries to be a beacon of light.

The young woman is also incredibly pious. Her daily routine involves waking before sunrise, buying flowers at the market, then going out to watch the dawn and pray to the goddess Azeyma. She'll spend hours in the sunlight, prostrate and murmuring her words to the goddess and sun alike feverishly. On occasion, once or twice a year, Umi makes pilgrimage to the Sanctum of the Twelve and delivers offerings collected in the time between.

She's not terribly fond of Keeper of the Moon Miqo'te.

===Ul'Dah Dancer and Companion for Hire===

Like many other Miqo'te women, Umi was enraptured by the freedom that seemed to come to the dancing girls of Ul'dah. Being able to express herself through dance, to twirl in the sunlight, and to earn money from it was almost a dream come true- and the money isn't bad, either. While the money is good by itself, enough to get by and buy a few small luxuries, Umi was introduced to the life of "companions for hire" by a fellow dancer and took to it with gusto.

She now travels from Ul'dah to the surrounding, prosperous towns of Thanalan to dance (which serves as advertisement as well as coin) and attract wealthy clientele.

Her rates aren't cheap- going for as much as 2,000gil a night, sifting out rabble and refugees from her client list.

She hopes that, one day, she can find a single lifetime patron of great wealth.

She does not take Lalafel or Roegadyn clients, for hopefully obvious reasons.
