Character
General
Born to a traditional Keeper of the Moon mother, and non-traditional Keeper of the Moon father, her views are slightly conflicting. Kit loves being in the wilderness exploring, but also enjoys the peace of city life. In terms of religion she tends to lean more toward her father’s non-traditional faith, choosing Azeyma as her patron saint in her father’s footsteps, though she respects all of The Twelve. Kit favors the use of magic over physical attacks when dealing with combat. After she gets to know a place her sense of direction improves tremendously, though when travelling in an unfamiliar location a map can’t help her find her way out of an open crate. When not exploring, Kit prefers to relax at home in Limsa Lominsa, slowly learning the culinary trade, reading from her father’s book collection, and taking odd jobs offered around the city.
Appearance
Hair: Dark hair with brown highlights. Eyes: Medium brown eyes. Body: Short with a petit frame. Fit, but not muscular. Skintone: Light skin with very faint tint. Markings: White marks on cheeks and temples, faintly visible against light skin.
Personality
Kit is generally a kind-hearted, passive and difficult to anger miqo’te. Slightly socially awkward, though she loves making new friends. Having inherited her father’s curiosity, she is eager to help friends explore and has been known to get turned around easily. She is quick to trust, but slow to forgive. She is very spiteful and holds grudges against those who cross her. Her thirst for knowledge has proved fruitful and she is generally seen as intelligent and being able to problem solve quickly.
Combat
General
Kit prefers to avoid combat situations whenever possible, opting to instead use reasoning and discussion to solve problems. However, she was trained as an arcanist by her father and is learning how to control primal egis as a new summoner. She is skilled with her magic and arcanum, and can hold her own when necessary.

Family
Mother: Youko Shoku
Youko Shoku was a conjurer living in the Dravanian Forelands who travelled between hunting camps, being employed as a healer and guide. She is a fairly traditional “Keeper of the Moon”, or at least was, until she fell in love with Kaido’a Epocan and chose to return with him to Limsa Lominsa to start her own family in the safety of a more permanent settlement, having witnessed firsthand the dangers of living in a wild environment.
Father: Kaido’a Epocan
Kaido’a Epocan is a “Keeper of the Moon” who was born and raised in Limsa Lominsa. Though they share the last name, he is very distantly related to Rubh Epocan who shares similar employment in the Arcanist Guild. He is an aspiring scholar, though most of what he has learned he has taught himself from books, some of which he acquired through adventuring. He met his wife, Youko Shoku, while recovering from an injury he received while attempting to explore The Great Gubal Library. Because of his curiosity and lack of constraints to tradition, he chose the patron deity Azeyma, the goddess of inquiry.
Brother: Youko’a Shoku
Oldest son of Youko Shoku and Kaido’a Epocan, Youko’a Shoku was born and raised in Limsa Lominsa. Following in the footsteps of his mother, Youko’a Shoku left the safety of Limsa Lominsa after coming of age to work as a healer for the hunting camps in the Dravanian Forelands. His family worries for him, though he was trained in conjury by his mother who felt that his healing abilities would be sufficient in his travels.
Sister: Nogi Shoku
While the family was always close, Nogi Shoku always felt like the black sheep of the family. With her father being an arcanist and mother being a conjurer, she did grow up with skills in magic though her true calling was being a Disciple of War. She left home at a fairly young age to practice with the Gladiator’s Guild in Ul’dah. There she had made many Highlander friends, whom influenced her decision to choose Rhalgr as her patron deity. After becoming a proficient gladiator, she decided to return to Limsa Lominsa to train with the Marauder’s Guild to broaden her horizons. She maintains close ties with her friends in Ul’dah and is still a member of the Immortal Flames.
Friends
Nogi Shoku: While sisters, Nogi and Kit are also good friends, often accompanying each other on travels. With Nogi being primarily a Disciple of War, and Kit being primarily a Desciple of Magic, the two make a great pair while exploring. Nogi is Kit’s confidant and is generally the first to know anything going on in Kit’s life.

History/Timeline
Kit was born and raised in Limsa Lominsa, with her household being primarily supported by her father who works in the Arcanist Guild. From a young age, she idolized her father and followed in his footsteps to train as an arcanist. She inherited his curiosity however, and found herself getting into quite a bit of mischief as a youngster. Being at home with her mother, who worked as an in-home healer, most days also gave her time to pick up some of her mother’s conjury skills.
When she was still a youngster, her older brother left the family home to return to the Dravanian Forelands, where he currently resides as a healer for travelling hunting groups. Not long after, her sister Nogi also left the family home to practice at the Gladiator’s Guild, much to the dismay of her parents.
After coming of age, Kit decided to visit her sister in Ul’dah and picked up a sword in the Gladiators Guild. While not nearly as proficient in weapons fighting as Nogi, she picked up a few useful skills and managed to convince Nogi to return home to Limsa Lominsa because she was dearly missed, using the Marauder’s Guild to entice her into possibly learning some new melee skills.
Currently Kit still lives in Limsa Lominsa, though she is much more willing to travel than in the past. She has become a proficient arcanist, and started learning the art of summoning primal egis in place of the typical carbuncle on her road to becoming a summoner.
