Etymology

Kireina - Translated means: "beautiful" or "lovely".

Ryori - Derived from the word ryouri which translates into: "cooking," "cuisine," or "culinary."

History

When Kireina was a young child, her parents fled their home city of Doma in order to escape the conquest of the Garlean Empire. With an army rapidly approaching, there was no time to gather riches or possessions. They were forced to leave their family fortune behind taking only what was needed to make the long journey. Once wealthy nobles, the Yutaka family had now been reduced to mere commoners. Gridania was too humble and meager for their lifestyle and they no longer had the means to live in a wealthy city such as Ul'dah, so Limsa Lominsa seemed like the most logical place to seek refuge and make a new start.

Kireina's father was able to provide for them by learning the ways of a Fisherman. Her mother, never having to cook a day in her life, eventually became a pretty decent Culinarian. Considering their new professions and status in society, they changed their family surname to "Ryori." Young Kireina developed a fine appreciation for food and often assisted her Mum by gathering ingredients for her signature dishes. Given her father's line of work, she grew up mostly surrounded by filthy pirates and dirty scoundrels. Yet, as descendants of the Dawn Father, her parents always encouraged her to remain true to her divine heritage. Despite their modest lifestyle, they still managed to ingrain a sense of nobility into their daughter.

Kireina spent most of her educational years studying many disciplines of magic. Having witnessed firsthand the mass devastation and horror wrought upon her homeland by Magitek, she developed a strong desire to use the power of Aether to help heal and protect rather than destroy. Given her kind and gentle disposition, she also gained a love of nature and all it's creatures.

Personality

Kireina is just as lovely and beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside. Her mind is as bright as the glow from her piercing eyes. Your first impression of her might be that she is shy or self-absorbed (depending on the day, you'd be very lucky if you get little more than a smile or nod), however, that is not the case. Truth be told, she is just highly focused on helping other people, accomplishing her goals, and gaining all the knowledge and skills that she can. She is a spiritual person who's views may be considered "old-fashioned" by some, but her compassionate nature prevents her from looking down on those who might believe or act differently. She prefers to surround herself with positive influences who would lift her up rather than bring her down.

Career Goals

An ambitious young lass, Kireina promised herself at an early age that one day she would grow up to become an Adventurer and find a way to provide a better life for her family. While her ultimate aspiration is to become a White Mage, she loves learning and hopes to one-day master all of the trades. She is currently studying Arcanism and is working towards becoming a Summoner.
