Grand Company Allegiance || None
Employment || Ex-Mercenary, Huntress; Ex-employ of Varus Rosenthal
Marital Status || N/A
Alignment || Neutral Good || S'vokani's life was previously filled with hunting down Merchants, Adventurers, and Wood Wailers who dared travel into her path. Her notoriety for her cruelty and thievery knew no bounds, leaving her a fugitive in the eyes of the lawfuls. Spending much of her time recently outside of Gridania has led her to develop a more human idea of how her life should be led, rather than carrying on with the bestial charms of the Wilds. A sprouting relationship with S'datih and a mended relationship with her brother (along with the lack of Varus in her life,) stemmed her to make much better decisions for herself, laying low in the shadows until the trail on her would disappear. After disappearing for some time, she seems to have become much more open to social interaction, even attempting to break the barriers that her xenophobic tendencies put before her. She has since made acquaintances with many different faces, including those of the mysterious Au Ra!

♦ HER STORY
S'vokani and her brother S'ari grew up as the children of a Nunh's mistress; She was revered as beautiful amongst the clan, carrying very soft and motherly features. Despite their mother being a female, she was not responsible for hunting, instead spending her time teaching the infants of the clan about the world outside of the dunes; About Ul'dah's riches and Gridania's greenery, as well as the shimmering waters of Limsa Lominsa. It was this uniqueness and beauty that attracted their father, S'khei initially, and it came to blossom into a relationship that surpassed simply procreation: As a nunh, however, his duties were not neglected. Most of his time was spent with his favored Mistress S'hioma, and soon enough two beautiful children were born of their united feelings.
As children, both of their lives differed not from the life of the average infant; And as such, playing in the sand and throwing grubs and orobons at one another was commonplace. Around this time, the exposure of the Forest Zu clan occurred, exciting a few chance meetings that, S'khei had hoped, would be the union of the two clans. Their father had been foolish to expect such. As days passed, it became more and more apparent that the Desert Zu were being watched, however, by who was a completely different story. S'cadyr, head of the Forest Zu, had sent his brother S'lharum, to spy on their desert counterparts and pinpoint what exactly made their 'adversary' tick: What it would take to control and assimilate the clan into their way of thinking. They quickly surmised that this profound woman was the source of S'khei's affections...
And so they hatched a devastating plan.
S'lharum had challenged their father for his title; it was only in due time that S'hioma turned up missing. Stricken with panic, he and the clan searched aimlessly for her, but to no avail. It was only after S'cadyr's next meeting with the Nunh did he divulge the location of his mate: She was with the Forest Tribe, of course, but the details of her stay were far from enjoyable to hear, nor would he never hear it until the day of his death. The terms of her return were as such: Throw the fight, relinquish your status in the clan, and she would be free. The dawn of the fight rang in the final stab to S'khei: They had left S'hioma's corpse at the edge of the oasis, dirtied and bloodied beyond belief. From the looks of her, she was given no respite, and this image had been burned into S'vokani's mind: To shape who she was today.
Rather than fighting now that the terms had been broken, her father resolved himself to death, and as such the clan was handed over to S'lharum and the decomposition would begin. S'lharum ignored the needs of the people and made no effort to raise the young birthed from his seed. As such, many of the newborns died before they were even able to walk on their own. The stress upon the women had become nearly too much to deal with, and some of them fled whilst others ended their lives for the sake of not having to live with the memory of S'lharum's 'order.' No matured Tias to pad the damage done by S'lharum's negligence, but there was Hope.
♦ AFFILIATION
Varus Adelric Rosenthal || Quite possibly the most annoying figure in her life, the Magus known as Varus Rosenthal has been nothing but a harbinger of danger for S'vokani. Their first encounter was her fault entirely, having found him researching certain aspects of rock-faces in the Twelveswood. She couldn't help herself and attempted an attack upon him. In the end, she was coerced (if not threatened) into becoming one of the male's bodyguards: An occupation that entailed much more than just protecting him. She's just now found out that after a year of isolation, that Varus has disappeared, leaving virtually no reason for her presence in his estate. However...
Rukira Michaelis || Truth be told, these two have far from a friendship between one another. Their first meeting was an exchange of venomous words, and it'd become apparent to the Miqo'te that she (Rukira) had some very, very unrepressed jealousy issues and a need to get the stick out of her ass. After recent events, it seems as though Rukira has become more accepting of her presence amongst the ranks, and vice versa. Rukira and S'vokani's interactions since Varus' exodus have been bordering on friendly, the woman often giving advice and caring for S'vokani, whether she likes it or not.
S'datih Nunh || The only current man in her life that she can truly stand. S'datih is the only remaining member of the (Forest) subsect of the Zu clan, and therefore it's sole leader. Due to the ghosts of his past, he is far too weary of returning to the place where it all started, instead opting to wander. She finds this odd, and feels the need to pry into his life. She goes as far as to hunt in his 'territory,' and obstruct his alone time as much as possible. Deep down inside, however, she finds affections for him. She has sworn to herself one simple thing: She will never become a mistress to a Nunh, thus making her feelings for him complicated. Despite her conflicted feelings, the two work to have some sort of working relationship, despite the odds being against them.
S'ari Nunh || S'vokani's elder brother, the leader of her clan, and the only blind Miqo'te for miles. She finds nothing but contempt when it comes to him. Being the current leader of the dwindling (Desert) Zu clan, S'vokani has found her brother to be a failure of a leader. Rather than taking up other important responsibilities such as hunting (Which, while she understands that her 'sisters' will be much better at it than her blind brother would ever be, is something that is still of import to organize,) he spends all of his time procreating and trotting around with the trollops. She used to compare S'datih to her brother commonly, and it would cause quite a bit of animosity. Since their last meeting, the two have garnered a much more amiable view of one another: She's come to accept her brother's role out of respect, but otherwise still refuses to live by those rules.
S'tsunhe Tia || Acting representative of her Tribe, S'tsunhe is almost, quite literal, S'ari's right-hand man. The male is often away on trips to Ul'dah, finding and procuring ties for the tribe that will benefit them, as well as furthering his own personal agendas. Because of his mannerisms and lack of passion when he speaks, S'vokani truly can say that her relationship with the man is far from fruitful. She can't help but feel that her brother putting all of her trust into him could only turn out bad...
S'lharum Nunh || This man is by far S'vokani's worst nightmare. The Miqote who killed her father, he drove her clan to desolation and prided himself in his work; His cocky attitude and disregard for the lives of his own race, despite S'vokani's own quirks, have left her with nothing but ire for him. He has since come back to haunt her both in her dreams and in her consciousness: Forcing her to remember and relive her past just with the sound of his voice.

- "Keep on walkin'." || This woman gives you some weird vibes, and for some reason, she's always sneaking around. Sometimes you feel like you're being watched by her...
