verecho
Series name: Final Fantasy XIV
Canon notes: Canon point is directly after patch 4.2: Rise of a New Sun. Asahi has been seen off and there's very little left to do but wait.
Species: Miqo'te. Cat-like species of the five main races, Danya is of the diurnal subspecies: Seekers of the Sun. Their eyes are slitted like a cat's, but their teeth are humanlike in exchange. These miqo'te are excellent hunters and gather together in tribes around their Nunhs (breeder males). All other males are Tias and fight to be Nunhs while the women are the badass hunters. Basically lions. They're lions. It's awesome.
History: Raised near the island city-state of Limsa Lominsa, O'danya was a respected hunter of her tribe. As she grew and heard stories of adventurers and their endless opportunities, she left her tribe to pursue a more varied lifestyle. Although she would go on to influence the fate of the realm until a moon literally crashed on the planet and spat out a dragon, these are not the adventures she's specifically known for. That was another time, and those deeds are shadows cast under a blinding sun. No one in the world remembers the people who helped them survive such a giant Calamity or even what they looked like aside from silhouettes backed against a light, and thus were dubbed Warriors of Light.
aka Danya is a legacy character from 1.0 (IC only), and she remembers nothing of her life before appearing in the Black Shroud and finding her way aboard a coach toward Gridania. There she met Alichi'ra Drakkha, another miqo'te with whom she hit it off, and once again began the climb to recognition thanks to skill with a bow and go getter attitude.
Plot summaries of the game can be found here, here and here so far. Danya's nuanced circumstances are as follows:
• Eternally Bonded to Alichi'ra Drakkha in a hilariously platonic life connection. They're as close to soulmates as one can get without adding a single iota of romantic tension.
• Became an accomplished scholar (as in, a healing spellcaster specializing in battle tactics) once a warrior by the name Alka Zolka recognized her farsightedness and gave her a pair of glasses, allowing her to overcome her aversion to more intellectual tasks.
• Learned the trades of weaving, leatherworking, goldsmithing, carpentry, culinarianism and botany, and took them to frankly ridiculous heights. It's no exaggeration to say she's a master of those crafts and highly regarded within those circles.
• Discovered the art of red magic and took to it like a fish to water. It's become her primary means of combat since, although she keeps up on her scholarly pursuits and practices her dark knight capabilities regularly to stay well-rounded. May or may not enjoy waving a katana around from time to time.
• more when it's not 3.30AM
Personality: perfectionist with a severe martyr complex
Abilities: HOLD MY BEER
Augment skillset: Security!
Sample: TDM for... a different game counts, right?????
NOTE: Just making sure to acknowledge the conversation held over PM and all the nuances discussed within.
