Story

Early lifeBefore arriving in Eorzea, the majority of Sayuni's life had been spent behind the cage-like walls of her Noble house, located neath the waters of The Ruby Sea.A siren.Growing up, Sayuni adored her home, the ocean called to her like a Deity to their patrons. The little time spent outside those walls, Sayuni took to the ocean proper, gliding the tides at the side of ocean critters- big and small both. When she was 4 summers old, she was quick to attune to the art of conjury and as a child, would dabble with healing creatures that lived among her kin within the sea.Sense of purpose.After tending to her fellow man, word of her ability stretched far across the city and from there, many would seek her talents. Sayuni was all too thrilled, not only to help others, but to form true connections with her kin after being so lonely behind high walls... In an already isolated city.An unlikely criminal...But why is she a fugitive, you may ask? Well... That depends entirely how you define the term.A deal well struck.Her Dotharl 'father' made a deal with another tribe Leader, Huzhuk, to unite them through the means of marriage. Her father sought a bigger army to protect his trade and further expand upon his money ventures across the Far East. Huzhuk had what he wanted and was simply driven by greed. Their desires seemed to go hand in hand, one could say.And so it begun...However, Huzhuk had conditions and one of those conditions meant Sayuni giving her hand to his in a marital bond. Upon being informed of this, she was disgusted and outraged. In her eyes marriage should be reserved for love, not to be used as a bargaining chip.A new, albeit forsaken, leaf.Despite her pleas, she was forcefully plucked from her beloved home under the water and strewn to the Steppe, which is where she'd meet her mate-to-be. Upon crossing paths, it was clear to all that they'd would never feel anything akin to romance, let alone a marital bond.When hate and violence collide.Eventually, escalating hostilities between the brutish Steppe Warrior and Sayuni resulted in gnarly scarring upon her left arm after the Raen scales were ripped from their very roots. After their ferocious encounter, it was the final nail in the coffin- Sayuni needed to find a way out.The fight for freedom.With the Nadaam around the corner, it was then that she made plans to escape. She was to assist the tribe as a healer, however, amongst the chaos of battle, those small sandaled feet sprinted to the nearest port with all that her arms could carry and leapt onto a ship as it left the port... Only to find that this vessel would lead her to a foreign land; Eorzea.A daunting world.Sayuni was utterly lost at first; a lost lamb one could say. She didn't know the language, the traditions nor customs, but she did not falter. Freedom was right here in her hands and she was going to grab hold of it and yank it with everything she had.Contending with survival and a new world.The wandering woman has quickly learned that freedom comes at a painful price. Paranoia, fear, lack of trust. Since arriving in Eorzea, a place that she refers to as, 'the wild', Sayuni has been living off the land, roughing it or relying on the kindness of strangers... When she's lucky enough to come by it.Where does the winding path take her?Ever since the abandonment of her Noble duty, both her Step Father and Huzhuk have been vigorously searching for her, posting bounties all over Othard and Eorzea in the hopes that someone will turn her in.
Some have nearly succeeded, although to this day she latches onto her freedom like a mother to their babe, and will continue to do so until her clutches turn to dust.

Hooks

  • Healer - Are you contending with beasts that are thrice your size or even bigger? She can assist, though she's a little more on the chaotic side of things.

  • Bounty - Are you looking to make a quick buck? You may have seen illustrations of Sayuni’s portrait on boards across Eorzea. Try your luck... Conversely, you may feel compelled to intervene, should a hunter or assassin engage with her.

  • Adventurer and Wanderer - Do you need a travelling companion? Sayuni will gladly join you! They can get lost together.

  • Trouble - Sayuni’s curiosity and recklessness very often gets her neck deep in peril. Will you assist?

  • I am open to suggestions, feel free to throw them my way! I encourage creativity and there's not a lot I wouldn't be open to. Themes I am most interested in are mature, dark and anything to do with adventure. Inspiration I take from: Berserk, Lord of the Rings, Goblin Slayer, Yona of the Dawn, Game of Thrones (before it got terrible </3) and of course, Final Fantasy as a whole.
