Appearance & Personality

Two things are immediately noticeable about Kiku: she is tall for a female Au Ra, about 5'4" with fair skin, and she is quite thin, possibly from malnutrition. She has long golden-brown hair that is mussed and tied loosely at the nape of her neck, and long bangs that sweep over her her forehead and partially obscure her green eyes. Ivory-colored horns protrude from either side of her head and point downward. Her expressive, oval face is pretty - with high cheekbones, hollow cheeks, and a small upturned nose. She wears traditional Auri garb, a dark teal dress with a loose skirt and dark scales sewn into the fabric around her shoulders. The dress has seen better days, and while it appears clean, there's more than a few hastily mended tears, and the hem is quite tattered. She always seems to have a bandage wrapped around her left bicep.

Those who get to know Kiku will find that she is shy at first with strangers, though she'll warm up quickly. She values trust above all else, though it can be hard to get her to bring down the walls she's constructed long enough to get her to trust another person. With her friends she is lively, joking, and full of life. To strangers and acquaintances she can is very suspicious and much more reserved. Her compassion will often times get her into trouble. While she is cautious and prudent most of the time, when she sees another person suffering her discretion often goes out the window. Though she has always been very curious, consuming knowledge both from books and other people, her recent life as a refugee has given her a very different perspective on life, and has made her question many of her morals and principles in a very short time.

Biography

Childhood

Kiku grew up in a small village in a secluded valley about a day's travel from Doma. She spent much of her childhood either reading or playing outdoors with her older brother. Her father was a scribe and bookbinder. Kiku would spend her nights reading until the sun came up, a lamp hidden under her sheets, pouring over a book to learn as much as she could before it was sold or shipped out. She favored adventurous stories in her younger years, but picked up more practical subjects as she aged, her interests drawing her to the study of the Aether, and of chemistry. During the day she would tag along with her brother, doing anything from playing games like hide and seek, to rock climbing or playing pranks on the local residents.

Teenage

Kiku's early teenage years passed as they should have, carefree and plagued only by those typical to a young girl. Boys, friends, fads, fashion and culture trends, teenage angst and drama. She kept up with her studies, her father always pushing her to learn something new. As her brother quickly outgrew her, she had to push herself hard to be faster and stronger to try and keep up with him. He taught her to ride, and it was a common activity for the pair. More often than not she would come home with torn clothing, bruises, and scraped knees from the adventures they would get into.

Present

Kiku just recently arrived from Othard. Her ship came into Vesper Bay, like many others before it, where she used the last of her money to catch a ferry to Limsa Lominsa. She is living the life of a displaced refugee. With little money and no stable employment or place to call home, she is drifting, taking odd jobs where she can find them, and trying to keep her head above water.

Miscellaneous

((I'm new to RP in Final Fantasy, though I have been roleplaying in MMOs for years. I've played EQ2, GW2, and The Secret World primarily. I'm very friendly OOC, so feel free to send me a /tell or walk up for RP any time! I like all types of RP, but I tend to gravitate toward more mature, serious, dark and gritty plots. Of course silly, fun, and casual RP is fun at times too.))
