Appearance and Personality

She's soft of personality and extremely polite to those she doesn't know. She keeps to herself, never giving away information unless it's of the utmost importance. Though she has a hard time expressing herself it can be said that she tries her best to be a good friend, swinging from pointed respect to heavy-handed doting. If you're able to get past her rigid facade she can be curt and even snarky at times, occasionally making dark jokes at the expense of herself and sometimes others.

History

WIP but heres a bulleted list until i get it together
- her parents fall in love super young and want to marry against their families' will (star-crossed lover style)
- they run away from their posh lives as wealthy ul'dahns and quickly find that life can be Hard(tm)
- things get worse after they have their first kid (mimiri miri) and it pushes them over the poverty line. Even with(especially because) a new-born child neither family will take them back in.
- worse still, they have a second kid (yuyue yue). Hahameji can't take the struggle any longer and disappears into the night.
- Trying to support two children with no income proves impossible and the small family is forced to move to Pearl Lane. Even still Momori's family won't take them in, though her sister wants to desperately.
- a travelling merchant (aldis stormslayer) befriends momori and shows the family kindness by giving them extra foods and other goods.
- He and momori grow closer, eventually dating. The family moves to his home in Gridania.
- The two marry. Both children begin a formal education, and work with Aldis doing botany. Yuyue takes much better to plant care than Mimiri
- Aldis brings home an orphan child from Ul'dah (nanari/naririr nari) and she becomes a weolcome part of their family.
- Aldis takes Yuyue on a routine harvest out in the shroud, tho momori thinks she's too young to be in the wilderness. Yue wanders off and catches the attention of a roaming beast. Though Aldis finds her and diverts its attention he's wounded in the process, and in the chaos Yue takes his botany axe and lays a fatal blow on the beast. His wound bleeds out quickly and he passes away.
- Yuyue flees deeper into the shroud where she hopes to hide while deciding what to do. While in hiding Raylenn zoltar comes across her and they become friends. When a search party finds the two children they say their goodbyes and Yue returns home
-Deeply unsettled by the loss of her step-father and the constant reminders of his loss yue sets out to limsa to learn the way of the axe at the marauders guild.

Rumours Not all rumours are necessarily true. ◢ Common Rumours (Easily overheard) ■ "Aldis' girl? Yeah, she skipped town a while back. Comes home occasionally to see to her mum, though. Sweet girl, that one." - Veteran Botanist ■ "Her and her kind don't belong here. If you'd asked me a few years ago i woulda said to chase 'em out without a second thought, but they've worked hard, made a good place for themselves." - Gridanian ■ "Ah, she passes through here quite a bit on her way to the Marauders Guild. And she's always trying to chat people up about axes. Different styles, different craftsman's marks! Don't bring it up, she'll chew your ear off about it!!" - Drowning Wench Waitress ◢ Moderate Rumours (Moderately difficult to overhear) ■ "Her dad? Aldis? Don't give me none of that 'real dad' shite, Aldis was the best father this side of Eorzea! Get lost if you aren't gonna buy anything!" - Ul'dahn Merchant ■ "I've heard murmurs that she's trying to bargain with the sylphs. I don't think that's much of a smart idea, but who am I to judge." - Bentbranch Caretaker ■ "I heard she got scolded by some highly-skilled botanists for over-harvesting, but she said something about specifically being sent out by the guild. I don't know, some kind of miscommunication, I guess" - Gridanian farmer ■ "They say her axe is as sharp as her wit but if you ask me she's looked pretty empty-headed the times i seen her. Then again I'd say most Dunesfolk look vacant, it's in the eyes." - Wary Marauder ◢ Rare Rumours (Very difficult or rarely overheard) ■ "There's whispers that they're trying to pull her back into the family. Something about political ties with Hahameji's line coming into vogue." - Ul'dahn noblelady ■ "Tatayen had better be careful, the younger sister might be as volatile as as the elder." - Ul'dahn maidservant ■ "Maybe if they hadn't driven Momori out so mercilessly, then there wouldn't be such bad blood. It's a shame such well-born children had to live their childhoods on Pearl Lane." - Lelemi Lemi (Aunt to Yuyue Yue, elder sister to Momori Mori) ◢ PC Rumours (Have you heard something about Yuyue?) ■ ■ ■ ■ ■
