   ^{_{I.   background......Anca was a name spoken with equal parts awe and dread in Yak T'el, but to Q'inti, she was always grandma. The woman had decimated scores of Mamool Ja during the tribal war over resources, leaving her name forever entwined with brutal legends of merciless conquest. Q'inti’s mother, Ch'usiqa, was no fighter, so when the young Xbr'aal began to mature, it was clear she'd been gifted Anca's fierce aptitude for combat.......At the tender age of 6, Q'inti was dispatched into the mountains to begin her Viper training. She returned 6 years later as a near-master of the art and for the next few years, traversed Tulliyoal tending to Tural Vidraal. Q'inti's distinctive appearance—a near mirror of Anca's, earned the woman both wary admiration and hostile reproach from Mamool Ja and Xbr'aal alike.......Eventually, the burden of Anca's legacy grew too heavy to carry in her travels, so Q'inti returned home to aid her retired father, Mach’aqway, in the family craft. Fletching was a welcome distraction, but Yak T'el, still haunted by the scars of war and the lingering memory of her grandmother’s deeds, offered Q'inti no true solace.......At 18, she set sail for Eorzea, and ultimately choose to settle in Ul'dah. It was there that Q'inti began to find a measure of inner peace, but it didn't mean an escape from her thoughts. Q'inti keeps herself occupied with the family craft of fletching arrows. She accepts mercenary jobs in her travels peddling her wares, constantly in fear that her grandmother's taste for violence will someday rear its head and begin a relentless thirst for blood.}}

⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻


   ^{_{I.   background......14 days after Corinne's delivery, her mother attempted their escape. Colette hid a knapsack filled with the barest of necessities underneath a floorboard in the basement. Silas was never supposed to find it, but a deer carcass he brought home broke free from his grasp and knocked it loose. Cori's father felt that conflict resolved itself easier after a few tankards of ale, so the confrontation occurred shorty after the sun set in The Shroud. Colette wanted to take Corinne with her, but on that night, the imminent threat of death would not allow it.......Silas took Cori with him when doing everything. Their father wanted Corinne to remain visible at all times, except during the late hours of the night, where Silas would only look upon them in total darkness. He'd often remark Cori looked far too much like their mother, a woman he often lamented Corinne took from him in childbirth.......Cori was left without a choice to leave their father's gaze at 16. Over time his physical threats had escalated to near-death encounters. The young Hyur stabbed Silas in the knee one night, incapacitating him long enough to flee. The attack left Silas with a permanent limp.......After settling in Limsa Lominsa and finding work as a barmaid, Corinne found refuge in the arms of a man just like their father—a high ranking Maelstrom officer by the name of Ephraim. The relationship lasted 10 years, ending when Cori escaped him within an inch of their life.......Corinne currently resides in Ishgard, devoting their time to a small but successful career as a shoe craftsman.¹}}

⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻


   ^{_{I.   background......Peronelle was born after 20 excruciatingly long hours of labor, with her mother, Lucinette, passing shortly afterwards. Romanant promised his late wife that their only daughter would grow up surrounded by love and tradition.......Her cradle rested in the corner of the family brewery, and Roman would rock her with his foot while pouring mash into the still. By the time Nelle could walk, she was helping her father clean barrels, and before long, learning to brew herself. Romanant taught her about the intricacies of making alcohol, embedding the rituals and customs of their family craft into every lesson, just as his parents had done with him.......When Nelle was 15, Roman succumbed to a quiet battle with cancer—a struggle he had hidden from his daughter to protect her from worry. Among his belongings was a worn leather journal filled with recipes and notes on brewing techniques. In the margins, he wrote messages for her—words of encouragement, advice for life, and reminders of how proud Nelle made him.......Left to fend for herself, Nelle stayed in their secluded home deep in The Shroud, living off the land and picking up where her father left off. She fermented meads and liquors; brewed ales, all to barter with the community for produce, tools, clothing, and other necessities.......Nelle's heart aches to explore the world her father spoke of beyond The Shroud, eager to step beyond the shadow of trees to see it for herself.}}

⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻


   ^{_{I.   background......Left at the edge of the Golmore Jungle as a kit, Salomé was taken in by the Viera of a tribe she never truly felt a part of. They trained her in combat and survival; taught her of the old ways and traditions, but always kept her at an arm's length. Her distaste for battle was met with disappointment by the rest of the group, which only lead to ostracization, and in turn, punishment. She was put to work butchering animals after hunts.......The greatest solace offered to Salomé came in the form of a friend and first love, Red. His striking eye color became his namesake and was ever a source of comfort. Unspoken feelings blossomed between the two Viera after they reached maturity, however their closeness waned in the years following Red's preparations to fulfill his role as a Wood Warden.......Red's eventual return came with tragedy—the news of corruption spreading throughout the jungle, and the passing of several Wardens in an attempt to contain it. Sal discovered Red was its source soon after his return. The parts of Red that were left pleaded for Salomé to end his suffering.......Unable to stay with the tribe after honoring his request, Salomé left for the city of Dalmasca. There, she discovered she was pregnant. She travelled to Eorzea in search of answers after each subsequently failed attempt at honoring her love's final request. The process left the Viera permanently marked from the unnatural influence forced to grow within her body.......Now, Salomé lives her life as a simple butcher, traveling from city to city and searching for distractions to leave her past behind.}}

⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻


   ^{_{I.   background......Dominic and Aida reared Yara as if she was a gift from the sea itself. Her parents fashioned a mobile out of spare ship scraps, dangling lures from ropes tied with complex knots. They heard her sighs like the whispers of sails catching a gust of wind; her cries like a boat's mast creaking and straining against a gale, threatening to snap. They saw her little hands like oars, reaching out to navigate the world.......Aida taught her how to carve and shape with every tool under the sun, and Dominic showed her how everything functioned to form a seafaring vessel. When not building or repairing ships for the people of La Noscea, they spent their time on the water. Summers passed, each filled with love and laughter shared by the Halyards.......At the age of 10, Yara's parents were approached by a pirate crew known as The Phantom Marauders, who forced them to sail as the group's personal shipwrights. Her parents left without an opportunity to say goodbye, with little more than a promise that they'd take Yara ocean fishing that weekend.......She spent the next few years jumping between unsavory crews in search for them. Yara's travels took her far beyond Eorzea, hopping from ship to ship all across the old and new world. Unable to find any information concerning their whereabouts and sick of carrying on the tradition of her parent's ghosts, Yara returned to Limsa and took up fishing with her parent's promise ever in her mind.}}
