Numei is small in stature, standing tall at only 4'7. Her frame is petite though she has some muscle from forge work. Her fox ears and tail are both quite large and match the white of her hair. Her left eye is usually seen shut or covered by an eyepatch, though is not damaged but instead hiding a two iris eye. Her hair is thick and long, normally past her butt; it grows ridiculously fast and often. Numei has a magitek prosthesis of her own design on her right leg, extending from mid thigh and down. Her left hand is always bandaged from fingertip to elbow.
Scars & Markings: At the center of her forehead is what seems to be a scar reaching from almost the hairline to the center of her brows. There is a long slashed scar across her nose extending on both cheeks. There is scarring across her neck from obvious, jagged attempts at cuts one on either side. There is a myriad of scars all over her body, the most prominent being the one on her left side, large and starburst shape. Another scar sits at the center of her chest that seems to match the one on her forehead. She has red eye markings that swoop along the corner and just under her eyes.
Clothing: Her forms of dress are usually outfits suited for the forge, sometimes yukata or other outfits from Hingashi. It's difficult to keep actual pants on her.
Numei has a brash, no-nonsense attitude and very little patience. She has very much the sensibility of "shoot first and maybe ask a question later" which has gotten her into more than enough scuffles with other people. There are times where Numei is often quiet and reserved, simply observing those around her.

Minato was Numei's adoptive father. He cared for her with the aid of his assistant Khan Qestir since she was three cycles, ripped from the Azim Steppe. Minato was heavily involved with the Doman Resistance, funding much of his own money and time into the cause. Minato kept mostly to himself, was stern yet soft when it came to Numei. He met his untimely end nearly two cycles ago.
Khan is a large Xaela of the Qestir tribe that has been in Numei's life since she was adopted by Minato Ito. Given his tribe's rules, Khan never spoke. Instead he would get by through facial expressions and by bending the rules enough to write down a thought. Numei kept closer to Khan, given the pair were the only two static Xaela in Kugane, she felt a closer kinship to the man. Upon orders from Minato, Khan had arrived to Eorzean shores first and upon learning of Minato's untimely demise, hired pirates to find Numei who had been lost at sea and have her brought to a shop he had purchased. It was there that Khan aided Numei in rebuilding her life and directing her towards better deals in trade and information. Khan keeps his distance, though there is an obvious look behind the large Xaela's eyes that none can decipher.
Arelian Atiyeh came into Numei's life first as her apprentice. They had met through shady dealings and upon learning Numei's skill, Arelian had made a request to learn under her. It hardly came to fruition. The pair were separated for a few months until Arelian suddenly returned missing an arm. It was then on that the older man would continue to come around simply for Numei's company. Through a unexpected, intoxicated one night-stand, the pair came together and eventually formed a relationship. Numei and Arelian had been together for a year before they finally decided to part ways from each other.
Martin Freepaw is one of the few most important people that Numei holds near and dear to her heart. Although she knows Martin can hold their own very, very well if they need to, Numei would still kill any who would dare to bring Martin any sort of harm. She's given them the nickname "hana" or "flower" as Martin is always adorned in them, can grow them at will and smells exactly like one. There is no romantic relationship between Numei and Martin, but they do hold a very dear skinship.
Numei met Cyrus Durant through the likes of Kirisame Akiudo and his company. She sees Cyrus as a friend along with his wife but doesn't really outwardly say it, especially after he took a direct punch in the nose from her and didn't bat an eye when he finally woke up. Numei often hangs around the couple.
Numei met Iieha first and treats her as sort of a little sister of sorts despite their age difference. She appreciates that Iieha can eat just as much as her and the pair often get into shenanigans with each other, much to the chagrin of the Compagnie and Cyrus.
Ryusei and Numei came to blows upon their first meeting. Ryu had stood all too close to Numei and she didn't appreciate it one bit. However the pair's attitude is so alike, shouting ensued and eventually the fight was taken outside of Ul'dah's gates. Neither won, but ended with a sort of unspoken agreement there would be another fight in the future. Although Ryusei left an annoying taste in her mouth so to speak, she quietly can't wait to fight him again.
