Basic Info
X'Yuhan Rhiki is a friendly (by some standards), loudmouthed, scatterbrained Miqo'te who lives and dies by the road beneath her feet and the weight of whatever blade is in her hands. Only recently having recalled her real name, she'd been under an assumed name made from whole-cloth and dog-Elezen for a fair few years and is likely still renowned under that name for her strength, bravery, and unwillingness to ever be restrained in her wanderings. Having an unhealthy number of run-ins with the law of each city-state, her name is likely known to most as one said amidst exhausted sighs, after the word 'halt', or in a cheer over the strewn bits of a slain beast or reincarnated Primal.
History
X'Rhiki Nunh - Yuhan's father - and his mate lived in Garlemald under Garlean rule. Rhiki didn't much care for being largely ignored by the Emperor, nor was he particularly copacetic with their warlike tendencies. He'd taken his protests underground, becoming a covert revolutionary against them, along with a small band of other trained fighters exhausted with Garlemald's present rule.
Sadly, Rhiki and his revolutionaries were found out and his battle-brothers were all captured and killed for treason, although Rhiki himself managed to escape. Determined to free his brothers - or at least avenge their deaths - he swore to put steel to the necks of the Garlean army, and sent his mate and his unborn daughter off to escape in secret.
He died fighting the Garleans, but not without taking a notable amount with him. Though it was barely a dent in the army, it was a remarkable feat for one Miqo'te with one weapon and no help.
Her mother escaped via a secret chain of escorts and caravans smuggling refugees out of Garlemald, and during her escape gave birth to Yuhan. The young girl and her mother managed to reach the shore before being found out by the Garleans. Taking after her father, Yuhan managed to go undetected by the Garleans and was successfully smuggled offshore and to Eorzea - to Limsa Lominsa.
And so for many years, she didn't even know her own name. Calling herself "Chat D'Fleur" after meeting the U tribe of Thanalan and enjoying the sound of Gridania's Elezen names, she trained for years under the Marauder's guild, wishing death on the Garleans without ever really knowing why.
Since then, she's been through quite a lot in her life as an adventurer. Daily battles keep her busy, and she's been the point-man for many an expedition into some unknown and gods-forsaken cavern and come out with another story and some half-dozen more scars. With every fight a victory, and with every victory she spends another few hours at a bar consuming beer by the gallon and hauling some attractive fellow off for a night he won't forget. Then she wakes up the next day, fresh and ready to do it all again. Beastman, Garlean, Primal or worse, Yuhan has stared down death a hundred times and punched the robed reaper to the floor every time - and she's full meaning to continue doing this until she can't anymore.
Personality
Yuhan is an incorrigible flirt, an energetic idiot, and a passionate lover to war and battle. Having more scars on her body than hairs on her head, Yuhan's home is equal parts in another fellow's bed, on the road, and on a bloodstained battlefield. Wanting more than anything to bring about the unalienable right of freedom to everyone she can, she despises any who would bully others or deny any other living being its right to do as it pleases. Yuhan, by and large, is a woman who wants the simpler things in life, and takes what she wants without much regard for anyone else's say.
Affiliations
Yuhan has made enemies of lawmakers and enforcers, most particularly the Syndicate of Monetarists of Ul'dah who despise her for subverting their legal tangles to bring about her own version of what's right where she can -- often with liberal application of violence. This has her a very wanted woman in Ul'dah.
Consequently, Yuhan is a friend to all who find themselves oppressed by their countries or governments, most notably the poor of any nation.
Garleans are Yuhan's greatest foe, and as such she's made a point of bringing the fear of the Twelve into their hearts upon the sound of her name. Her success in this is questionable, as they've yet to cease their machinations despite her efforts, but she likes to believe she's got them on the run.
Other Notes
Yuhan's left eye was lost in a battle which she refuses to discuss. Recently, she's found some time, funds, and experts to craft a glass eye in its place - although it's slightly off-color.
Yuhan's axe - which she coyly calls "Rhiki" - is supposedly guided by the soul of her dead father, and is sworn to break binds and shatter chains of bondage, to bring liberation to the downtrod or underprivileged.
Yuhan has taken to weaving in her off-time, and is quite talented in that field.
