Early life/Pre-Calamity

For the majority of her life in the East, Nanama had lived her childhood within the port town Kugane, that is on the island chain of Hingashi-- a Far Eastern nation with a strict isolationist policy, under the Shogunate. Being a Xaela, it is apparent that she was originally from a tribe that is, or had, resided at the Azim Steppe, along with the other tribes. Rumor has it, that her mother had lost her to the wilds of Doma or to the Imperials who had occupied the region. But, fortunately, a male Roegadyn brought the defenseless, lost Xaela over to the islands and away to somewhere safer, raising her like his very own daughter.

Post-Calamity

After the start of the Calamity in the West in Eorzea, Nanama was still in Hingashi, under the care and guidance of her adoptive Roegadyn father, Abarklin. By the time the catastrophic event made it's place in Eorzean history, she was on her way to turning fourteen(14). As she grew more, and slowly learned more about Hingan customs, she began to question herself. Over time, Nanama had the impression that she didn't exactly belong in Kugane. This was never vocally expressed by Nanama herself, but her surrogate father ensured her, home is what people make of it and she has a place in it, as much as anyone else.It was after turning into a girl of seventeen(17) summers, Nanama finds herself nursing the man, who had fallen ill. The sickness being so severe, conventional medicines and treatments barely showed any effect to help ease his state. As time went on without a cure, Nanama needed to take the initiative. With the concern for money, she looked into many jobs that could be available for someone of her age. The tasks she took mostly consisted of her providing services to the town's inhabitants or foreigners, or simply cleaning up a shop. Opening up to people for the sake of looking after her caregiver was a challenge, as she found him to be the only person she could fully open up to. She rarely, if ever, socialized with any other people her age, because she had a solitary lifestyle and stuck by Abarklin's side all the time. Despite doing everything in her power to make it certain Abarklin gets better, his health began to continuously wane. He would now spend the rest of his time resting either on a couch or in bed, and when he does use the energy to move it's to try getting his strength, but his efforts would be fruitless. While in bed, he would be read books by Nanama, and in turn he would share stories with her about his life and family. There was one part of his stories that trigger a spark of interest in her; his own father was once a detective, and he had a strong admiration for the man, as well as his occupation.During one of their talks after a long day, her father gives her the truth of her origins. He states that she did, in fact, originate from a Xaela tribe, known as the Kha. The Kha are the tribe of Xaela, who live on the fringes of the Xaela lands, actively seeking contact with people not of Auri culture. They introduce the many aspects of the other cultures they discover into their own, and are more open-minded about the outside world, unlike most of the others. The tales of a missing child of the Kha, had been passed around for sometime, thus giving her surrogate the inkling feeling she is from said tribe. Although he considers the possibility of Nanama being one of them, he couldn't bring himself to return her to her rightful parents, should they still be alive. For years, he had been overcome with severe loneliness. Unlike Nanama, he did manage to accumulate a variety of friends in his past, but soon the relations slowly drifted apart, leaving him to be on his own. Once Nanama came into his life, he finally found someone who could stay by his side again, and who could give him a brand new purpose, which is being a father. Even though Nanama now has knowledge of her true origins, as well as some closure, her love for her father outshined and exceeded her want to meet her tribe.After many moons, heartfelt talks, and loving good nights, the man who brought her up ended up deceased the next morning. However, his death wasn't reported until the following day, as Nanama desired to be alone with his body and mourn as much as she wanted. Sooner or later, she was now on her own, and had Abarklin's ashes kept. After turning eighteen(18), Nanama desired to honor Abarklin, by donning his dad's detective cap and actively going out to become a investigator. Her very first case started within Kugane, and during it, she had trouble being taken seriously. But soon she succeeded, rightfully earning her a metaphorical pat on the back from the Sekiseigumi. Later on, near the end of the Dragonsong War in Eorzea's Ishgard, Nanama ventures away from home and travels overseas to the West, to see if she can use her inquisitiveness for the sole purpose of bringing justice. Over time, she had solved other cases in Eorzea, and her reputation slowly grew.Currently, Nanama is twenty-three(23) years old, and had long honored Abarklin's memory. She became a adventurer, and a mother to three half-bred children.

"Prelude in Violet" Begins - (9/18/18)

Bandits & Beatles (Provolone Arc) - 7th Sun of the 6th Umbral Moon (12/7/18)

During the Starlight Celebration, Nanama had arrived to Ul'dah. After a couple of days sticking around the city-state, she overheard three people discussing a missing person. One of them, Nikolas Quinn, happened to be the adoptive father of the person of interest. He said his daughter, Marolyn, had been taken away by her violent caretaker and is most likely in danger. Nanama volunteered to conduct a search for the girl, alongside a Raen named Ganon Shosen, who temporarily became partners with Nanama.After not getting anywhere with inquires, Nanama got approached by a general of Ishgard named Vanitas Law, who tended to stick around Ul'dah near or at the Quicksand. Nanama told him the case she's on and the Dragoon offers to help by being her eyes. She accepted the help, and not long after, Vanitas managed to locate Marolyn Quinn, including her caretaker, in the streets of Ul'dah. It turned out Marolyn and her caretaker Lyn, are a Keeper and Xaela, and they are actually the victims. Nanama soon got introduced to a 'hunter for hire' named Lederic Haragin, who was actually a member of the 'Eorzean Bureau of Intervention'. Nanama is told by the group that what Nikolas said was a ruse, and he's not only a cheese entrepreneur, but also secretly a leader of a giant slave trade that has spanned across Eorzea for many years. Nanama offered her help to take down Nikolas (AKA Mr. Provolone). She got acquainted with Lederic, Marolyn, and Lyn, as well as Precis Transvaal (who is now named Perceval Greystone and becomes Nanama's future lover) and Mikha Namaliyo (who leaves the group later on and is viewed as a sister by Nanama).The group's plan to take down Nikolas' slave operation went on for several months, with both successes and blunders. Nanama learned more about herself during the case, both good and bad. The Provolone case became Nanama's first real taste of reality and made her realize that some things, no matter how cruel, must be done for the greater good. During the long road to stop Nikolas and the other slavers, she was traumatized, somber, treated with apathy for any mistakes, and was jaded. The experience had nearly costed her her life, as well as her humanity. It costed the life of one of Lederic's associates from the bureau, and nearly Lederic himself.

"Requiem for Heroes" Begins - (1/8/19)

Defeated a Griffin in Coerthas - 26th Sun of the 1st Umbral Moon (2/26/19)

In a effort to improve her combat skills and be tougher, Nanama had set out to Coerthas' western highlands for several days on her own; enduring the harsh weather and the snowy wasteland's numerous wildlife and creatures. During her stay, she had encountered a Griffin that came from the Sea of Clouds, and successfully managed to put it down after it turned hostile towards her. An unexpected turn on events, but it gives Nanama some confidence in her abilities.

Nanama begins Swordsman Training - 2nd Sun of the 3rd Astral Moon (5/2/19)

The dangers in the Provolone case have gotten more and more dangerous, and thus the time called to be more prepared. Nanama decided to take on learning more than just knowing how to fire a gun, and turns her sights on the art of the samurai. This will be the start of her path to adding a larger variety of weapons and skills to her arsenal in the future.

Sincerely, Your Shadow (Oktai Arc) - 25th Sun of the 3rd Umbral Moon (6/25/19)

Eventually, it is revealed that Nanama's biological father, Oktai Kha, had shadowed her during her time spent in Eorzea. He had anonymously mailed her money, kept tabs on almost every person she had connections with, and has saved her life by being active behind the scenes. For example, the griffin Nanama had thought she defeated on her own, was truthfully dealt with mostly by Oktai from the shadows, with his ninjitsu and weaponry. Also, she was saved from dying from gun wounds by Mangle Gorgon, because Oktai tipped civilians of her predicament. The situation further escalated when he breaks into Nanama's office to steal Abarklin's ashes.

After going through most of the trials set up by Oktai, Nanama got back Abarklin's ashes with the help of Pyrcel and Tae. However, Pyrcel was instructed to meet Oktai in Coerthas' western highlands, alone. Once the two meet, Oktai gives Pyrcel a explanation to the point of the trials, including what transpired when Nanama went missing as a baby. Back then, while Oktai was away from his tribe to travel around Othard, Nanama's mother (Chinua Kha) fell asleep during a ride back to the tribe through Doma, unaware of Nanama accidentally falling off and lost, before later being stumbled on by Abarklin. Once Oktai returned to the tribe and knew of his daughter's absence, he became depressed and angry. These feelings were more against himself, as he blamed himself for not being there with his family. His mate, both ashamed and taking Oktai's misery to be directed at her for losing their child, takes her own life the next day. This causes him to leave the Kha soon after. Decades pass, and Oktai finds Nanama, after hearing word of a Xaela detective around Gridania. He then dedicated his time, resources and skills to ensure her safety.After Pyrcel hears Oktai out, he is challenged by the Kha to fight, with the condition that if Pyrcel wins, he gets to stay with Nanama. Oktai also promises that if he himself loses, he'll turn himself in to the Brass Blades for theft and breaking into Nanama's office. The two battled atop The Watcher, a large cliff overlooking the highlands. The fight was bloody and exhausting, lasting for over half a hour. Eventually, Pyrcel is made victorious, with both him and Oktai barely conscious. Oktai keeps his promise and heads back to Ul'dah to be taken into custody.But, not for long...

"Shadowbringers" Begins - (7/2/19)

Bandits & Beatles (Provolone Arc End) - 16th Sun of the 4th Astral Moon (7/16/19)

Nanama and her group were able to track down Nikolas Quinn(AKA Provolone and father of Marolyn Quinn) in Coerthas' central highlands, after several months of dismantling his giant slave operation across the many regions of Eorzea. Once Nikolas was subdued and apprehended by the Ishgardians, most of the group went their seperate ways. For example, Lederic was in need of recovery, but mysteriously vanished, and Marolyn goes away to the steppe. Nanama spreads Abarklin's ashes in Kugane, with one final goodbye.A new chapter begins.

Hope for the Future (Aya Arc) - 7th Sun of the 4th Umbral Moon (8/7/19 )

A mysterious woman had made her appearance in Ul'dah, lost, confused, and in distress. Not only is the stranger new to the "city made of gold", but her appearance raises questions from any able to get a closer look. The woman, having clear traits of the Auri Xaela, has less scales than anyone of the race normally has.The girl's name is Aya, and her disorderly and tense behavior around people is due to her originating from the future. A time traveler. However, it is not yet certain if her home resides in the distant future of today, or in an alternate history. Another revelation is Aya is one of three offspring of Nanama Kha and Pyrcel, which explains her small number of scales. She did her best to hide the information around the younger version of her father, as well as other people Nanama is affiliated with, but an argument with him triggered an outburst, revealing her identity. Aya's reason for exisiting in the here and now, is the result of her being forced by one of her brothers into unknown Allagan Technology, to escape harm's way. The threat Aya faces in her time is currently unknown.After Aya explores present-day Eorzea for some time, Nanama soon learns of Aya's true identity, which makes her elated and throws away any previous suspicions the Xaela had on the half-breed. A few plans are thought of to help Aya return to her time, with each more complex than the last. One is a 'time machine' being developed and tested with Allagan tech from scratch, while another involves looking to the goblins of Idyllshire and finding a answer in none other, than the primal Alexander.It is decided that Aya would return to her time, with the method of using Alexander. As preparations are made, Aya in the meantime trains and grows closer to some of the people she once knew, including developing a interest in Jay (to Nanama and Pyrcel's dismay). Eventually, Aya gets confronted by Sami, who chooses to be anonymous. During the fight, Aya is aided by Pyrcel to drive her off, however Sami causes a cave in and escapes. After regaining their bearings, Aya and Pyrcel continue with their goal, with the man telling her he will get her home alone if he has to.

Nanama's Nameday - 14th Sun of the 4th Umbral Moon (8/14/19)

Nanama's nameday had arrived, and she had turned into a young woman of nineteen summers. While she hasn't really cared for this particular day, it has bothered her that this one was less than stellar at first. To help celebrate the occasion, a half-breed the Kha knows by the name Serenity had given her a cake--except it was decorated with the name of another. This annoys Nanama, and she returned to the East, where Pyrcel's apartment was. The man, aware of the woman's special day, presents her with a gift or two from him, as well as a appropriate cake to celebrate with. Nanama was both grateful and elated, and chose to pay him back in some fashion......The two had a long night together.

Nanama is Pregnant - 16th Sun of the 4th Umbral Moon (8/16/19)

Almost two weeks after her nameday, Nanama, including Pyrcel, were given the news by a friend of theirs named Aulex, who is not only a doctor but half-voidsent, that the blue-haired detective was pregnant with three children. He was able to tell from seeing multiple sources of aether within her. The couple were both utterly surprised by the news, with Pyrcel blacking out with a smile across his face. Their lives will never be the same again.

Nanama's Soul-Search (Journey Arc) - 6th Sun of the 5th Umbral Moon (10/6/19)

Nanama made the mistake of letting a raen friend of hers by the name Tae, get too close to her. She tells both her and Pyrcel that she loved them both equally, and wanted tension between the two to diminish by practicing polygamy. However, the man was not fond of the idea. In Tae's absence, Nanama and him argued for days; both becoming broken in the end. Sooner or later, Aulex lectures and scolds her, causing her to fall into a deeper depression and in tears. Pyrcel still offers to comfort her despite what happened, and Nanama agonizingly says that she should have went away on a trip right after the Provolone case, so their situation never happened. Eventually, Pyrcel talked to Nanama in her office about the decision to stay with him or not, including who would take their kids in the end. Both felt incredibly dead inside from the recent events. Nanama's guilt overwhelmed her, and she makes the choice to stay away from Pyrcel for a while, and go do what she wanted to do in the first place, which was going on a soul-search. She is given luck by Tae and Serenity, and goes out into the world alone, once again.

"Vows of Virtue, Deeds of Cruelty" Begins - (10/29/19)

Demi-Bahamut Discovered - 7th Sun of the 6th Astral Moon (11/7/19)

Nanama gets her hands on a peculiar grimoire during her journey in search of a answer for her relationship. Fueled by interest and curiosity, she keeps it with her. It appeared to be more powerful than the grimoire she had used for a while, and she intended on adding it to her arsenal if it meant the three kids within her are safer. What she did not expect, was the grimoire to possess equations that had the power to summon a likeness to the Great Wyrm of the Calamity itself, Bahamut. She mulled over the danger of keeping such a thing with her, and tried to think of the reason for her not being tempered by the beast. This went on for sometime, until Nanama felt slightly adjusted to how the summon worked: It was a force of nature, at the great cost of her aether, and could damage the development of her babies. It would have to be used when absolutely necessary and with no other choice. She didn't intend on telling anyone about it...

Nanama's Soul-Search (Journey Arc End) - 14th Sun of the 6th Astral Moon (11/14/19)

Over the course of a moon, Nanama travels across Aldenard and Othard, in search of a answer to her crisis, while trying to take care of herself for her kids. It didn't completely stop her from offering aid to people, whether they're common folk or beastmen. She still felt borderline depressed throughout the journey, but kept her face up as best as she could. Deep down, she still wanted to be with Pyrcel.After her soul-searching ended, the two came to the decision to give their relationship one more try, and attempt to mend the damage that was made.

Nanama goes to the First - 21st Sun of the 6th Astral Moon (11/21/19)

When Nanama is told by Rahlera about the sightings of a sin eater being around, she was puzzled and her curiosity got the better of her. She took time to gain info on where exactly the sin eater came from, and learns that it was from the First; a alternate star both similar, but different. Preparations and precautions got made, with Nanama finding out a way to enter this new plane of existence. Apparently, there was a very small tear in the Stream, which was created when the Warrior of Light had first traveled to the First. A gateway for the woman to use. Only the issues would be many attempts to try teleporting to the First, and being able to return to the Source. Nanama succeeds in entering the newly discovered star, and arrives in Norvrandt's Lakeland. The trip sends her in the walls of Laxan Loft, a castle filled with nothing but hostile Elven knights impossible to reason with. She makes it out, safely sneaking past them, and sees another Crystal Tower in the distance. Once she makes it there finally, she looks around with interest and worry, hoping she can find help to send her back home. When the tour of the large settlement's done and it's aetheryte is attuned with, she tries sending herself back to Eorzea by teleport, and was successful. It would be a long time, before she makes another trip there again.

Nanama learns about Engineering - 12th Sun of the 6th Umbral Moon (12/12/2019)

A Cry for Help - 20th to 25th Sun of the 6th Umbral Moon (12/20/19 - 12/25/19)

During the Starlight Celebration, Nanama is contacted by an old friend in the Twin Adder about a tragedy that had occured. A death within the Lily Hills apartments had been reported earlier that day. To her surprise and misfortune, the victim was someone she had known about before, in a past case a few months earlier: Nao Heizu, a veteran adventurer who was missing once and later found, was now found dead inside his apartment. With the assistance of a doctor, Ruri Ashdale, she travels to the Black Shroud to investigate. During their time at the crime scene, the two were not able to see the body of Nao, but were left to their own devices, gathering evidence. A still filled tub of contaminated bathwater, liquor bottles in a messy bedroom, and a note in said room, sheds more light on what happened. Nao Heizu, wrought with depression and loneliness, took his own life by drowning. An autopsy of the body, and a testimony from Nao's best friend Ani, were needed to fully come to the supposed conclusion.Nanama manages to get her hands on some investigation files, around the body's condition and the evidence found around the apartment. There was speculation from Rahlera, that Nao was murdered and there was a cover-up made by the Adder themselves, including the files having been tampered with. Nanama thought it was very unllikely, but didn't completely rule out the possibility. The discussion about the case ends with a plan to retrieve Nao's undiscovered linkpearl from his apartment, and get in contact with anyone else the man had associated himself with, for suspects of a potential murder case. Both the body and Ani, needed to be found.Nanama found the linkpearl in Nao's place, but none of his contacts ended up being suspects. Sooner or later, Ani is found by Ruri, and she tells where she was and what she had done at the time of Nao's death. Just like her friend, she was also a monk who was training around Gyr Abania and Rhalgr's Reach. The last time she saw Nao, he wasn't in a healthy state of mind due to the sense of loneliness, as well as failed relationship months prior. Ani tried lifting his spirits for the holidays, but nothing was working. She left him to give him time to himself for a while, believing he'd be fine. After a couple of failed calls to him days later, she gets inside his locked apartment to discover Nao, dead in the bathtub, to her horror and heartbreak. The doctor and Seeker have a heart-to-heart, and Ani says she'd go speak to Nanama about everything.The next day, Nanama and Ani meet up and discuss the case. The Miqo'te retells was shared with Ruri, and Nanama says she was able to take a look at Nao's corpse, which was under the attention of the Twin Adder. She confirmed that Nao did in fact take his own life, and no one was responsible for man's unfortunate demise. At the moment, the case was closed. Nanama gives Ruri her thanks with the investigation through mail. Meanwhile, Ani plans to put Nao to rest by having him buried, and finally comes to terms with the painful reality. She says to herself she will keep her best friend close to her heart and will focus on who he was in life, instead of what led to his death and the guilt of not being there for him more.She loved him, and he loved her. As long as Ani lives, so too will a small part of Nao.

Hope for the Future (Aya Arc End) - 12th Sun of the 1st Astral Moon (1/12/20)

Aya takes up training with the guidance of Rahlera Dortharl, a woman having been close with Nanama and was the young halfbreed's teacher in her own timeline. Aya was not able to fully comprehend using her Darkside to serve as her ally, at first. Out of grief for those she lost and the want to see her allies again after being trapped in history, Aya finally managed bring out her shadow, and her pain and sorrow had become a manifestation for all to bear witness to. Perhaps, she is now strong enough to combat the forces who were deadly enough to warrant the woman being unknowingly thrown back in time for her protection. She thanks her old instructor and continues on with her last task: going home.

Nanama Births Triplets (Yiselle, Ardoux, and Halmric) - 9th Sun of the 1st Umbral Moon (2/9/20)

"Echoes of a Fallen Star" Begins - (2/18/20)

Nanama Becomes a Adventurer - 14th Sun of the 2nd Astral Moon (3/14/20)

After having an argument with a drunk Pyrcel moons before on how she manages her detective work, Nanama becomes discouraged and loses the drive to continue it. She puts the occupation of a private investigator to rest. The Xaela tries looking around for weeks and moons for anything the skills she accumulated would be suitable for. Her searching stops when it dawned on her that she tended to get into combat and wander the land a lot. Adventurers have traveled across Eorzea to fulfill tasks. Thus, Nanama had made the choice to seek employment from the Quicksand as an adventurer herself.A better career path?

"She of a Thousand Summers" (Auspice Arc) - 23rd Sun of the 3rd Astral Moon (5/23/20)

Pyrcel, Nanama's husband, shares with her the odd reporting of a pack of wolves in the Black Shroud that have been forced to flee from something, rather than taking it down as a pack usually does. Wanting to look into it, as well as work alongside Pyrcel during one of his tasks as a Wood Wailer, she goes to the Central Shroud with him to track down the wolf pack. The rainy weather made it difficult, however the two were able to find where the wolves could have used as shelter; that being a large cave filled with Spriggans--Spriggans that have been disemboweled and killed prior to the pair discovering them. Once inside the cave, Nanama and Pyrc discover a large, sleeping, orange and blue wolf. The creature was something that was really out of place in both the Black Shroud and Aldenard as a whole. They exit the cave while not rousing the wolf, and Pyrcel reports to the Wailers of their findings. Sooner or later, the two come to the conclusion that the wolf must have originated elsewhere, and they began their search for answers in tomes and scrolls of Hingan folklore.Nanama's interest in the wolf piques when she is given a scroll by Pyrcel to translate, that was taken from Dravania in the depths of the Gubal library. It's title was "She Whomst Awanders Forests, Pacing With Unquenchable Fury". The seal of the scroll is broken and it is ready to be read. It's contents were in ancient Hingan, and fortunately the Xaela was able to understand most of it.The scroll tells of a tale as followed: A wolf pup was raised among the company of mountain spirits, and who inherited the role of protector. A female spirit raised to guard and lead the upright folk, and take justice into the hands of tooth and claw, and did so for nearly five hundreds years. Eventually, however, those corrupt of soul grew tired of their "benevolent spirit", and ransacked their shrine in the dead of night. Five hundred years later, the volcano that those nearby villages depended on rumbled. They lived on the mineral rich soil and sold rare ores, and their betrayal of the spirit long ago brought it into boiling anger when it reached its millennium. Lava and fire spilled over, wiping out hundreds in waves of magma. Innocents and debaucherers alike. Eventually, the beast was calmed by a roaming samurai, and the volcano returned to its calm state. The name of the mentioned wolf was "Yano", or "She of a Thousand Summers".Sometime afterwards, Nanama and Pyrc planned to confront the wolf once more, with the help of Vesp'r Atel, a Dancer and former Garlean officer, and Ryden Swann, a tinkerer and Knight of the Ashen Oathsworn. They all set out along with the Wood Wailers, carrying offerings to appease the spirit. Once the Wailers are in position of the Spriggan cave, the group enters it and confront Yano, who speaks to them all in ancient Hingan. Ryden had to be translated by Vesp'r, the words the spirit was saying. After giving their offerings and trying to come to an understanding with Yano, she gives them her explanation of why she was in the Central Shroud in the first place; she was ultimately driven from her land, and needs assistance in order to get back. Nanama tells her that she wants to help, and as Yano shows surprise at the offer she accepts it. When all is said and done, the group was close to leaving, however Yano tells Nanama to stay, with Pyrc wanting to stick around. Vesp'r and Ryden then leave the cave. Soon afterwards, the three head deeper into the cave, and Pyrcel is attacked and mauled by Yano. He was unfortunate enough to be a instrument for a test for Nanama. The Xaela progressively got more angered as she struggled to find it within herself to attack the wolf after having grown sympathetic to her plight. Nanama was able to retaliate and knock down the giant wolf, who tells her that eventually a trial will come to bring out the "fire" inside of the adventurer. Nanama helps the injured Pyrcel outside to get him medical assistance. Afterwards, Nanama tries finding ways to give herself a edge over Yano.

Nanama Returns to the First - 30th Sun of the 2nd Astral Moon (5/30/20)

As Nanama continues with her career as a more experienced adventurer, the day-to-day life in Eorzea had become more of a drag. Pondering in the guild on what more can be done, her thoughts take her back to the otherworldly experienced she had nearly over six moons prior--that time when she first traveled to a alternate star, the First. It has been a long time since she had attuned to the Crystarium's aetheryte. Maybe, it was time to pay a second visit, and see what was going on there. Her attention on the auspice in the Shroud will be put on the side for now. She prepares herself in search of excitement, and after chatting with her acquaintence Jakha Kha, she teleports to the First. Once she arrives in familiar territory, she is relieved to see not much has really changed, although the woman had taken note of there being less people occupying the Crystarium than the first time she arrived.Nanama's search for something new takes her to Kholusia, where she hopes to get info on any current events occuring or have occured in the region. She stops by Gatetown outside Eulmore, taking in the disheveled state of the settlement. After asking for directions, she eventually makes her way through the Gates of Glory below Eulmore, and while she explored further she stopped to help aid a man searching for his missing manservant, and a woman who was desperately looking for her treasured family heirlooms. Nanama finishes helping the two, and continues through Eulmore to learn about the city itself, as well as what was currently going on. She is told things will be different than they used to be--that there will be a change in bureaucracy, which could succeed what was led by a certain Vautrhy in the past. Nanama grows more curious on what Eulmore was like beforehand. While the blue-haired adventurer sticks around the city, she speaks with more on the state of affairs, gathering information on Vauthry, sin eaters, the deeds from the Warrior of Darkness and the oddity known as "meol".

Nanama & Pyrcel Get Married- 11th Sun of the 2nd Umbral Moon (6/11/20)

Nanama becomes a "Packmother" - 25th Sun of the 2nd Umbral Moon (6/25/20)

During Nanama's Trial against Yano, she had managed to become blessed by the Auspice wolf; giving the Xaela heightened senses like hearing, smell and sight, increased strength, and sharper carnivorous teeth. Along with these advantages, Nanama is given lupine ears, which will only become more visible as her desire for combat festers. She has been gvien the title of Packmother, whether she likes it, or not.

Nanama Loses Yano's Blessing - 10th Sun of the 4th Umbral Moon (8/10/20)

Having her relationships be impacted by the passion for fighting from the Auspice's blessing, and her efforts to properly master it through training becoming fruitless, Nanama decides to get rid of it, and no longer hold the name of "Packmother".

"Reflections in Crystal" Begins (8/11/20)

Nanama Moves into Shirogane - 25th Sun of the 5th Astral Moon (9/25/20)

Eorzea can be a cruel and outlandish mistress, and it was there that the young Xaela had a place of her own to call home. But as time went on, she would miss the Far East more and more, and homesickness was only getting stronger. Moving out of Mist, Nanama travels back to Hingashi with her mameshiba to find another residence, and after a long search, she finds a suitable apartment in Shirogane. Not long after settling in, the matter involving Pyrcel's levin injuries was yet to be solved, and the safety of their children needed to be ensured. To avoid them being harmed by levin, Pyrcel requests Nanama to take the kids to her place, away from him. There was a bit of worry, having to care for them while continuing with her occupation as a adventurer, but a solution soon comes in the form of a namazu, who acts as a baby-sitter during Nanama's temporary ventures out into the world.What could possibly go wrong?

"She of a Thousand Summers" (Auspice Arc End) - 27th Sun of the 5th Astral Moon (9/27/20)

Unfortunately, the power of Yano's blessing was too much for her to handle, as it caused Nanama to experience a occurring desire to fight, to the point of dealing near fatal injuries to any and all that combat her--a tendency that makes her a threat and a abomination in the eyes of those she cared for. Having enough of the negative impact it has on her relationships, and giving up on trying to master it, Nanama returns to Yano in order to rid the Auspice's blessing for good. The deed is done, and no more does the woman have to endure the toll it takes on her mind. It would be a long time before Nanama sees Yano again. One day, while being concerned on personal matters with Pyrcel, she is informed by him that Yano had effectively given up on waiting for aid, and had took it upon herself to take down the other auspice who had drove her from her home. The reports told of the results of a deadly battle, which resulted in the deaths of the enemy Auspice, and three bear cubs, that could have been the entity's children. Regrettably, Yano had fallen in battle, too. The news heavily brought Nanama grief and guilt, who blamed herself for not being able to assist the powerful wolf as often as she should have. Yano needed help, and Nanama couldn't even give her that, but throw away a blessing that could have benefited them in what was to come. She had failed the Auspice.Nanama tries to locate Yano's body to try giving her a burial, despite Pyrcel insisting her to let it go and move past it. With Nanama being stubborn, she takes any opportunity she has when out in the East, to find any info or traces of Yano, no matter how unlikely the success of the search is...

"Futures Rewritten" Begins (12/8/20)

Nanama Wanders - 20th of the 1st Astral Moon to 29th of the 1st Umbral Moon (1/20 - 2/29/21)

After separating from her husband and having been overcome with depression, the former detective eventually finds it in herself to set out into Hydaelyn once more, but takes the path of a lone wanderer. Her feet carries her where the wind blows, hoping to find any semblance of purpose for herself or silver lining, all while offering aid to whoever is in need of it, dispatching dangerous creatures and keeping a lookout for more sightings of the peculiar towers inexplicably appearing all over Hydaelyn from the West to the East.Nanama eventually puts her wandering to rest for a while when a friend of hers seeks refuge, without any other place to stay.

"Death Unto Dawn" Begins (4/12/21)

Nanama assists Eorzean Alliance/Scions of the Seventh Dawn - 19th Sun of the 2nd Umbral Moon (4/19/21)

After hearing of the chaotic battle taking place in the sweeping plains of Paglth'an, home of the nomadic Amalj'aa, the blue cap-wearing Xaela had pondered about what she could do to help with the tower issue that is plaguing not only Eorzea, but the Far East as well. Second guesses and doubts get put aside, and she comes to the decision to use her investigative experience, in order to track down the group who have been responsibie for safeguarding the peace of Eorzea: The Scions of the Seventh Dawn.Nanama succeeds in finding the elusive group after some time, and briefly informs her role as a scout, to keep track of the activity near the other towers dotted across the land, while being cautious of tempering. Nanama believes her place alongside the Scions will only be a temporary opportunity to make herself more useful, and a chance to help make a difference (even if small) for the sake of her friends and family.

25th Sun of the 2nd Astral Moon (3/25/21)

"I don't know why it has taken me this long to get a journal to document my thoughts, but better late than never, I suppose... Perhaps, this is the outlet I need to let things out, instead of always having to venture out, wandering aimlessly with no direction while so busy with my thoughts they eat away at me..."

27th Sun of the 2nd Astral Moon (3/27/21)

"I'm relieved to hear from Ani after all this time. I haven't been up north near Rhalgr's Reach or Ala Mhigo much, but I'm sure it's as hetic there as it is anywhere else thanks to these damn towers popping up,,, Even though she has the Echo, I trust she has more common sense than Rahlera did, to not go out and take a closer look... If it isn't her having her memory lost too, it'll be her death or tempering... She said there's a rumor about a cure for said tempering. As much as I want to believe that wholeheartedly, it is after all, a rumor. But, should it be true, then this changes everything.""I'll have to look into this sooner or later."

28th Sun of the 2nd Astral Moon (3/28/21)

*"Part of me wishes that I had just locked myself in my apartment, boarded up my door, upgraded my security system and stayed in my damn bed... I couldn't even pay my usual respects to Darius at the Church of Saint Adama Ladama, let alone contend with adventuring business without my linkpearl being bombarded with calls from Serenity, bugging me with questions about my talk with Lystra suns ago, what I was doing and where I was! It does not help that I gave my answer to Lystra as best as I could--it feels like I'd have to repeat myself once more..." *"As if getting sidetracked so far out of Thanalan into the Black Shroud to end up finding and pulling someone's remains out of a dead boar wasn't stressful enough, I was ultimately tracked by the two. I swear, I will make sure any tracker Serenity puts on me is destroyed without a single trace. Not only did I have to listen to her callous disregard for the loss of a Wood Wailer's life, I also had to listen to her self-proclamation as a leader. She isn't one. She is not, nor ever was, fit to handle that position. She lacks the self-awareness and charisma, she can be impulsive, she rarely if ever displayed strategical thinking, thinks always in the short term, and doesn't always take what people say into consideration. Drayconivous is the leader of the operations and even though he can be just as clueless, I can tolerate the man as a commander more than I could her. In hindsight, I probably should have just answered my linkpearl and all of this would have been avoided, but I was having enough. What we are dealing with requires caution, but that doesn't mean we can't completely trust one another to handle our own endeavors, not related to her family. Lystra was paid to be a bodyguard, but I never asked to be looked after this much.""On the brightside, I have managed to do my own investigating into these rumors for the cure of tempering. Limsa Lominsa seemed to have had a breakthrough recently. I remain skeptical of this. I'll need more evidence somehow, but that'll come when it comes. I should talk to Oktai about the kids. I mean, dad..."

31st Sun of the 2nd Astral Moon (3/31/21)

"Training is still showing decent results, but I should start branching out, looking for different methods. Beating up striking dummies one after another is slowly losing its appeal."

3rd Sun of the 2nd Umbral Moon (4/3/21)

"Paid another visit to Abarklin's spot earlier. While taking my time around Kugane, I've watched the Sekiseigumi more often than I thought... then I thought about what I plan to do for the future. I certainly am not being a Adventurer for the rest of my life, that's for certain, and I'd feel more comfortable getting nto a new profession that is closer to home. Maybe, when this war is over, I will probably join the Sekiseigumi, and hopefully live a less dangerous life, for the kids.""Speaking of the kids, they've become more vocal as of late, including using their legs more. It's cute... watching them come up to use my legs for leverage. I should teach some more words and help them exercise their legs."

7th Sun of the 2nd Umbral Moon (4/7/21)

"Whenever I really look at Mame, I can't help reminiscing when I first found him Or when he first found me, more specifically. That little pup is still with me, after everything. And now he's older and bigger. I think I kept him around before in case I found whoever he belonged to. Well, he's with me, until the end. He's helped moments of sorrow and pain dissipate just a little bit. Halmric, Yiselle and Ardoux will likely become dog people like me. Should something happen to me, I want the four of them to stick together."

12th Sun of the 2nd Umbral Moon (4/12/21)

"I am almost tempted to give the Gabriel α a new coat of paint..."

14th Sun of the 2nd Umbral Moon (4/14/21)

"I knew it was only a matter of time--the Eorzean Alliance have decided to take action involving these towers. From what I heard, there was a huge battle over in Southern Thanalan, where one of the towers are, in the plains called Paglth'an. I never knew there wasn't anything else out there in that large dusty wasteland past Forgotten Springs, besides sand, rock and the Amalj'aa. Apparently, this battle also involved dragons, and whatever the large flying beast Ani told me was last seen in Ala Mhigo once before. I can only imagine how chaotic it must have been. Not only that, there hasn't been much, if any, reports of any members of the Alliance having been tempered during the fight, and speaking of tempering; there is now rumors of a cure as I was also told by Ani before. Should this actually be true, then this changes everything... Did I lose Rahlera, too, for nothing? If only she had waited a little longer before going; she would have fought with the Alliance, and possibly, the Warrior of Light...""The Amalj'aa are now allies of the Alliance, and we may not have to worry about them for sometime until something happens to mess it all up."

16th Sun of the 2nd Umbral Moon (4/16/21)

"I've done some thinking ever since hearing of the battle at Paglth'an. Ever since I first knew about the towers appearing, I've wanted to investigate them. But, the threat of tempering was always a concern. I had to rely on either others with the Echo, or Ari, who, as a android, was immune to tempering altogether and could act as a scout. However, with the Eorzean Alliance, as well as others without the Echo having made a effort to combat the influence of the towers, that means that I could possibly contribute more. I know the risks. I know the dangers. The other beast tribes won't make things easier. But these towers are a sign; a sign of impending chaos that threatens not only the world, but my children's future... My friend's futures. I thought long, and I thought hard about it for hours to the point I got tired and a almost had a damn migraine because of it. It was conflicting, because I'd be putting myself into more danger, and should something happen to me, my kids will grow up without their mother... Deep down, I want to help so much. To give my life more of a purpose outside of just being a detective barely worth her salt. If getting more involved with the towers, meant a increased chance of there being normalcy again, even if me helping makes only a tiny difference, I would take it. I'll start by doing some digging, and looking into the Scions of the Seventh Dawn. I've known little about them, but they have had importance from what I've heard in the past.""I'm going to try finding them, and once I do, I'll see if I can offer them assistance with my past detective work and adventuring expertise. If not, there's always another way. This is for my children."

19th Sun of the 2nd Umbral Moon (4/19/21)

"It's done -- I had found them. This woman, Tataru, mentioned to me of the group's somewhat dwindled numbers. She was kind. I don't see many Lalafell often, and the sight of her was like a whiff of fresh air, honestly. I told her about what I've done, what I had to do to track them down and how I could possibly help them out, and by extension the Eorzean Alliance, as well as showing her my map of the other towers I've managed to come across during my time of wandering a while back. One of the Scions have scouts keeping an eye out for anything of note. We agreed that I can assist with being a scout, too, and that meant I wouldn't really be around Revenant's Toll very often. Even less often, as I have a family and other matters to attend to on the side. It's something."

21st Sun of the 2nd Umbral Moon (4/21/21)

"I've talked more with Samuel about him getting his own apartment and not having to hunker down at my place all the time. I'd be lying if I said I won't miss his company--Samuel has been great during his stay; helping with cooking and having fun with the kids. I don't recall ever having any issue with him. Which makes it hard for me to see him finally go one day. I look back at the times when I saw him, and didn't really think much about him. There didn't seem to be much incentive for us to talk. until I offered him my hospitality from the Yakuza that is. Deep down, I do want Samuel to stay with me... The place would feel less lively without him around. Even sleeping alone would feel odd. Our dates were very pleasant... He said that his departure did not mean our friendship will fall apart. I decided to trust him on that.""I might actually like him... but I just don't feel ready to commit to more relationships. Not yet. I still have things to sort out. This war, the Scions--there's so much going on."

2nd Sun of the 6th Umbral Moon (12/2/21)

"Eight moons... Eight moons since I've written anything in this. A lot has really happened since... yet, at the same time, not much has changed. Ever since mess at the Carteneau Flats, I had taken it upon myself to make more frequent scouts not too close to at least a few of the towers around Eorzea. So far, I don't think they've done anything else major, besides tempering the unfortunate and keeping some of the Telophoroi within close proximity. It'll be a matter of time, before that Ascian bastard does something to make things worse for all of us, and I've been readying myself.""However... I've learned to try taking it easy more and more with each and every passing moon. Stressing so much over whether or not tomorrow would be my last day on Hydaelyn, every day wasn't going to do me much good, and it hasn't...Jakha and Aulric were right long ago.""Moons ago, when I met Aulric through that anonymous contact, I wasn't really sure what to expect from the man. I don't think I really cared too much. I only saw our meeting to be a formality. He'd help with a matter, and after that, the both of us would just go our separate ways and worry about our own business. No matter how many times I try to wrap my head around the answer, it doesn't come to me. Or maybe, I don't want to acknowledge it. I know his repeated visits and appearances were because he liked me, non-platonically, but.. I still don't find myself anything special. Well... He stuck around for this long. I haven't told him to go away much, if at all, since our meeting. It has to say something... It's hard admitting, but he has made my life these last moons, a little more bearable. He suffers with me through Serenity's antics like I always have, and as a result, I haven't been as... unorganized as I used to. But, our time wasn't without hardships, of course... I wish I could go back and erase what I did to Lystra. It was wrong to... betray her. Even if the woman tells me to 'move on' and 'get over it', I won't. I respected her too much to just sweep what happened under the rug. But, me shagging while she was away, showed how little I did respect her... The same disgusting trap that ruined my marriage: wanting my cake, and eating it. I hope they all survive what's to happen. I hope these kids survive.""I already long made up my course of action should the time comes I must aid the Scions more frequently. Should things go south in Eorzea or anywhere else, I have to at least help out. That doesn't mean I'll just ignore my kids. They'll be safe, and I'll be damned if something happens to them... I don't know if there's much to live for if I fail as a parent... Aulric and the others have gottent the feeling the end is fast approaching. I get the feeling too. Especially with this 'dream' I had when I was knocked out... If that dark crystal really was Zodiark as Serenity said, then... what does that mean for me? As long as I don't experience these visions of the past, then the possibility of me just having the Echo is unlikely... Thinking about this is pissing me off.""I'm scared, Abarklin. I still miss you."

Nanama Kha is an strong-willed, inquisitive and kind-hearted young woman who tends to mostly become guarded with her emotions. Her passion to inquire came as a result of her adoptive Roegadyn father's shared history involving his own father, who in life was a detective in the Far East. After her caregiver's passing, Nanama took it upon herself to follow in the footsteps of his parent. This honorable action gives her a sense of purpose, a way to pay tribute, and the desire to aid others. When investigating, she tries putting on a serious demeanor. Due to instances in the past when her younger appearance didn't allow her to be taken seriously, she wears orderly attire and adopts a professional attitude to let others know she is devoted.Even though Nanama is serious about her occupation as a private investigator/inspector, she is more than capable showing her warm side. She tends to go out of her own way to offer her generosity and kindness to individuals, be it handing them a sum of gil or a gift, or being a person willing to give wanted attention. Her good-natured behavior can be seen as admirable to some, and a weakness to othersA fault she still struggles with, is not having enough strength to properly control or convey her true feelings to people who she grows some form of connection with. Due to her solitary life in Kugane and growing up with little to no interactions with those of or near her age, she has trouble emotionally opening up. People she associates with use this as a way to playfully tease, or flirt with her, which subjects Nanama to a vulnerable, flustered and distracted state. This issue had became more prominent during her investigation to sabotage a slave operation around Eorzea, as her closeness with some allies reveal this embarrassed side. These new experiences of emotional attachment to people can hinder her from making good calls of judgement and potentially put her or others in danger. She is also highly vulnerable to self-doubt and self-punishment when she feels whatever misfortune or unfairness happens to someone else. This can lead to her falling into a state of depression for days, while lowering her self-esteem to dangerous levels.Nanama tends to push herself to try to be the best she can be for the sake of clarity, however, it can negatively effect her mental health. She puts on a strong, no-nonsense attitude to show people she is capable in any given situation and to appear as someone worth being relied on. While it works with most people, it's a rare occurrence when someone can see through the mask she puts on. A mask that can chip and crack, revealing the self-loathing and depressed woman underneath.But, after putting her detective work to rest and having a family of her own, Nanama is somewhat more vulgar, as well as being confident and snarky. Instead of keeping principles and ideals dear, she now keeps the people close to her more dear. If she thinks the situation calls for it, Nanama won't hesitate in taking a life to ensure the safety of those close to her.Over the course of time, she retains her professionalism even when she isn't actively doing any form of investigative work. Her sometimes snarky behavior still remains, while having a nurturing air around her when it comes to her children.

Mameshiba/"Mame"

The mameshiba is a newborn miniature Far Eastern canine that Nanama had came across, during her first few months as a budding detective in Eorzea. The pup had became a wanderer around the Shroud, but eventually took to following Nanama's every lead through most of her cases. The origin of "Mame" is still unknown to her, however, she had grown fond of the canine over the course of her time in Eorzea. She decided to keep it around as her companion.

To'zi Dzoli

To'zi is a skittish, exhausted, and timid Xaela scholar, who Nanama met within the first few days of being in Ul'dah for the first time. Their last interaction was of the scholar telling Nanama about the Palace of the Dead. For over a year, To'zi's whereabouts are unknown. Nanama gets a pit in her stomach over the thought of the woman being dead while she herself is none the wiser, but she still deeply hopes for any sign of To'zi no matter how unlikely they will come...

Ganon Shosen

A pacifistic male Raen who traveled to Eorzea as an envoy of Othard. Nanama met him during her first time in Ul'dah, when she volunteered to look into a investigation involving a runaway Miqo'te, Marolyn Quinn. They both accepted the job, and thus became partners. Over time, as her investigation progressed, she found herself to be in potential danger, and sought Ganon for help. For a while, she used his company's abode as a safehouse, until she eventually got her own office. Nanama feels to be close to Ganon, and admires his generosity. On the surface, she calls him 'friend' or 'partner', but underneath, she looks at him as a big brother, or even a father figure.

Marolyn Quinn

Marolyn is a Miqo'te Keeper, who is the adoptive daughter of Nikolas Quinn(aka Mr. Provolone), the man who gave the offer of looking for her to Nanama and Ganon. She was able to meet Nanama, by Vanitas noting the inspector of her whereabouts in the streets of Ul'dah. After a misunderstanding about the case, Nanama and Marolyn become allies. While working with Marolyn to oppose her father's business, Nanama doesn't feel as close to her as she does with the others within their group. They work together, however shared words between them are few and far between. Her stance on Marolyn is between a friend, and a acquaintance.

Lynette Sakumi

A Xaela who is the caretaker of Marolyn, and seeks to take down her father, with Nanama's assistance. Nanama met her right after having located Marolyn in Ul'dah. Her barbed personality had made the inspector keep her distance somewhat, but soon she eventually got used to it. As time went, Nanama considered Lyn as a friend, however complications during the case for Nikolas Quinn harmed their acquaintanceship. Eventually, Lyn did apologize to Nanama, and even though she accepted it, it didn't change her new desire to not be too emotionally attached to Lyn and most of the group.

Lederic Haragin

Lederic is a grim and straightforward Xaela of the Haragin tribe, who's a 'hunter for hire' working with Lynette, Marolyn, and the rest of their group to oppose Nikolas Quinn. Nanama meets him after finding Marolyn, thanks to Vanitas, and meeting Lynette. Their introductions were tense, with Lederic demanding knowledge of Nanama's allegiance, thinking she was sent by Nikolas Quinn to find Marolyn and exterminate Lynette. After the situation's given an explanation to Nanama, she then joins his group. Nanama's feelings on Lederic are conflicted. Despite Lederic's serious, no-nonsense attitude towards everyone he associates with, as well as his somewhat disregard for her integrity, mental health and desire for truth and justice, she sees him as a competent leader. To her, he is a flawed individual plagued by demons and in need of help. She tries assuring him that she, along with their allies, are his friends, but attempts of getting him to open up are met with dismissals. She hoped to help him more, once their current business is resolved, but has given up on the idea.

Sindorel Felclar

Sindorel is a Hyur who centers himself in Ul'dah, and holds the profession of a academic researcher, as well as a mage. Nanama's first introduction to Sindorel happened, at the beginning of an investigation led by Lederic, that was connected to her current case. Nanama has'nt had many personal interactions with Sindorel, but the multiple occurrences when they worked with each other in their group, makes her see him as somewhat apathetic, but caring when he wants to be. To her, he was a friend and a invaluable ally.

Ruri Ashdale

Ruri is a doctor from Sui-no-sato in the Far East, and spends her days providing medical care to any who require it after being presumed dead for many months after meeting Nanama. She is aethersighted, and her levin aspected aether presence is massive. She is Pyrcel's 'shield-sister', which is akin to the late Ardest Tempest being Pyrcel's 'shield-brother'. Nanama gets along well with the doctor, and she holds her in high regard for her skills in the medical field, including her intellect. She welcomes her as another potential aunt for her children.Nanama does not get to hear from or see Ruri much.

Lady Beralda

Lady Beralda, or Beralda of the Valkyries, is a fiery winged warrior closely associated with Pyrcel. She deems to have saved the man in a previous life, and despite having no recollection of his past, believes it. Nanama met Beralda in the Quicksand when she tried defusing a intense argument between her and another patron.Nanama is fond of Beralda, but still currently feels guilt over accidentally taking Pyrcel away from the warrior woman. They don't often see one another, however, Nanama remains on good terms with her.

Moritoto Tanbolo

A Lalafell who is a veteran of the Sultansworn—the personal guard of the sultan, Nanamo Ul Namo—in Ul'dah. Nanama had met Moritoto in the Quicksand after she had finsished one of her many patrols in the city for trouble. Their relationship is more of allies cooperating to help bring justice, as well as friends. She admires Moritoto for his calm and relaxed attitude and his dedication to his occupation. Nanama tends to be vulnerable to the man's compliments and flirting, such as being referred to as 'doll', and does her best to not show embarrassment. She also sees the Lalafell as someone capable of helping relieve her mind of the stress and hardships faced as a detective, by handing occasional advice and support, to which she deeply appreciates.

Hiroro Palafell

Hiroro is a proud lalafellin member of the Brass Blades in Ul'dah. Cool-headed, loyal, and fair personality is a admiration to some. Nanama met Hiroro in Ul'dah, while he was accompanying a citizen who was a newcomer to the city-state. He found her profession as a private eye to be beneficial and they both engaged in a small partnership.

L'aera Tia

A young and androgynous Miqo'te who is tough and hardened, despite his appearance. He tends to stick around M'leo, who sees him as family and the boy regularly occupies Ul'dah. Even though she doesn't see him much, Nanama is comfortable around him personally and takes him seriously. She first met L'aera in the Quicksand, at the end of one of her past patrols.

Jakha Kha

Jakha is an eloquent and aloof man, and the very first member of the Kha tribe Nanama met within the first few moons of being around Ul'dah. The two have not had many opportunities to have conversations, and the most notable thing about him she has known from memory is his occupation as a information broker for the Flames, and there being word about him as a playboy. Nanama tends to find his bluntness and verbose nature to be slightly endearing. She recently gets to see Jakha more often, and can't help having nostalgia for a time when things were better and simpler. However, she becomes weary of him because of his history.

Oktai Kha (Father)

The biological father of Nanama. The man who who had gone for decades without his long lost daughter. After losing both her and his mate, Chinua, he spent his years training in the art of the shinobi around Doma, before sailing over to Eorzea to find a purpose, where he soon discovers Nanama's whereabouts and dedicated the next few years shadowing her. That came to a end when he was found out by Sami, and then made Nanama go through his trials in order for her to retrieve Abarklin's ashes. He was defeated by Pyrcel, and with his defeat, he turned himself in to the authorities in Ul'dah, but bought his way out later on after he had an epiphany. Now having his freedom, he gave up on looking after Nanama, thinking she can look out for herself and doesn't exactly see him as a father, to his sadness deep down. Currently, he works as a bodyguard for hire with his own gunblade. The two don't often see each other, as they both have important matters that distract one from reaching out to the other. Nonetheless, he gives her his best wishes.
Nanama rarely thinks about Oktai, but wonders if she would have grown as a person faster, under his parenting...

Aya Greystone (Alternate-Daughter)

Aya au Esprite-Vif de Durendaire Tertiarie Vassal of House Durendaire, or Aya Greystone, is the half-bred offspring of Nanama and Perceval, but from another branch of history in another timeline. Long before arriving in present day Hydaelyn, Aya grew up with two brothers under their parents, but unfortunately had to deal with tragedy as children when Nanama passed away due to illness resulting from too much stress. The kids grew up with their father, with their grandmother giving occasional care, until they were able to stand as on their own as adults. Her brothers found their own paths: the older one ran a decent bar with his girlfriend, while the youngest took the occupation of inspector - an investigator like his mother.Aya herself is a dark knight, and gained her abilities from the tutelage of Rahlera, of her time. Her predicament of being stuck in her current parent's time, was a result of her bar-keeping brother abruptly sending her into a piece of unknown technology that was on par with the Allagans. Aya and others were on a mission to prevent a company of mercs from using this technology for nefarious ends. The opposition was far too skilled, and with no choice, Aya became a time-traveler. She currently is close to returning to her own time, now that she is confident in tipping the scales of battle in her favor.Aya and Nanama haven't talked with one another often, but there is a bond between them. Aya respects Nanama , and wishes things had been different, and Nanama sees Aya as a endless possibility, regarding her own children.

Ani Rea

A tomboy Keeper who is training in the path of the monk, and was best friends with Nao Heizu. She had lived in Limsa Lominsa with adoptive parents who were great warriors, and left home at eighteen summers to see the world and become strong herself. Ani and Nanama met in the office, after the Keeper heard of the detective while Nao was missing, after their struggle with Imperials in Coerthas and moons prior to Nao's suicide. During the time he was alive, Ani had harbored deep feelings for the Raen while on adventures. Ani currently tries moving on, while holding Nao's memory in her heart and continuing her training to be the best monk she can be. After Nao's resurrection and permanent goodbye, Ani possesses the Echo.Ani and Nanama don't see or hear from each other much, but the Keeper appreciates the Xaela for all the help given.

A humanoid automaton sent to present times from a event called the Eighth Umbral Calamity, and created by Garlond Ironworks of that timeline, whose descendants made it a mission to save the past by utilizing the Crystal Tower with knowledge obtained by Cid nan Garlond on Omega's Inter-dimensional travel, Alexander's time travel and data from the World of Darkness. An unknown engineer of Ironworks acts as her supervisor along with Cid, only occassionally. "Ari", as she is referred to, was given the task of setting out to see the world and gain more knowledge, where her artificial intelligence evolves and she gains sentience. With people's help, she is given upgrades and installations to make her feel more alive. Ari helps others as much as she can, all the while trying to prevent herself, a piece of advanced magiteknology, from falling into Imperial hands to be used against Eorzea.Nanama doesn't know much about Ari, besides the knowledge of her being a android. Nanama takes a neutral stance and neither approves or disapproves the idea of a machine being able to think and feel as she does, but finds the android's capabilities to be impressive. She also can't help seeing a striking similarity in facial appearance between Ari, and the deceased Caroline Vesper...

Ninifa Nifa

A Lalafellin courier for hire, who is a Gunbreaker and in possession of Hydaelyn's gift, the Echo--another bearer who Nanama manages to meet in the eastern region of Thanalan, when Highbridge was under attack and in danger of being overrun by the Qiqirn. The two were able to help the Brass Blades drive them off successfully. After being in the right place at the right time, Ninifa is assisted by Nanama as a escort all the way through the Shroud, to Gridania as the primary destination, and during the trek, they got to know each other. Especially Ninifa, as her Echo gave her a look into a specific investigation in Nanama's past. After the courier makes it to Gridania, she and Nanama become acquaintances and later friends.Nanama respects Ninifa's skills with the Gunblade, as she herself is not new to the functionality of the weapon and knew how to wield it. Even though she knows Ninifa can handle herself, Nanama offers help for whenever it is needed. She doesn't really know Ninifa has the Echo, but has some suspicions.

Vesp'r Atel

A calm and collected Viera who was once a former Garlean officer under the Empire for a time, has taken on the skills of a Dancer and is proficient in the art of Kreigstanz. Nanama was introduced to the woman by Serenity, and over time the two got to know one another, as well as bearing witness to each other's capabilities in combat. Eventually, Nanama gets to be seen as a sister to Vesp'r, and their bond got stronger, but not without conflicting ideologies getting in the way.

Hungry Bear

A Roegadyn whose both a exceptional fighter in the Pits, and a 'fist for hire'. Nanama first met the man in the middle of Pearl Lane within the walls of Ul'dah, during one of her rare patrols. After a spar, at a time when Nanama's blessing from the Auspice wolf, Yano, was in the process of being controlled, the two had hit it off as acquaintances before becoming more close with one another.

Gyoei

Gyoei is one of the Namazu that have taken residence in the razed Yuzuka Manor in Yanxia, and who Nanama met during her soul-searching days. He often acts as her baby-sitter for her children in Shirogane, whenever she has to tend to adventuring.

The Gone, but not Forgotten

People Nanama has known and/or befriended, whose tales have unfortunately ended...

Caroline Vesper

A seventeen year old midlander who was a experienced arcanist, and whom Nanama met near the end of her second year in Eorzea. She was a young adventurer who had a inferiority complex, on top of being sarcastic and a little cynical. Nanama met Caroline in Limsa Lominsa, when the detective used to occupy that city-state more frequently in the past. A grimoire of Caroline's was stolen by thieves, but then escalated into a run-in with the Kobold beast tribe. After aiding Caroline, both her and Nanama were on good terms.They rarely saw one another, but they still kept contact with each other for small talk, until the young girl met her demise at the hands of Garlean forces.

Darius Johnson

Darius was a Ala Mhigan agent of the Eorzean Bureau of Intervention. The same group Lederic Haragin is/was also a member of around the time of the Provolone case. She and the rest of Lederic's group had met Darius in Southern Thanalan, where they were going after a lead for Nikolas Quinn's location. However, Darius ultimately got there before the group, and wiped out the slavers in the targeted area, including the lead himself. Darius was then taken into captivity for interrogation.The group planned to let Darius go free, but Mikha prematurely killed him as he was still bound. Later on, a funeral was held for him, and Nanama got to say her peace.

Ardent Tempest

Ardent was a giant, heavily armored Roegadyn who was usually affiliated with Pyrcel as his 'brother'. Nanama met Ardent when she was in trouble after a attempted rescue of Mikha, which ultimately failed due to a misunderstanding. She trusted Pyrcel on Ardent's good intentions and welcomed him as a ally.During Nanama's soul-search, she was told by Pyrcel about Ardent's fate, which had occured many months prior. The news had hit her hard, and she couldn't help grieving...

Nao Heizu

Nao was a androgynous veteran adventurer who had been around nearly every corner of Eorzea for years. He opposed the Garlean Empire at every turn, but was not blind to the prejudice the defected and misplaced had to go through. He was always one to look after others, rather than himself. For almost a year once, he and his adventurer group split up to find their own paths, but later on got back together because of his desire to make things work again. He ended going missing after combating Imperials hunting down Garlean defectors, but eventually showed back up while Nanama was tasked to help search for him. Sometime afterwards, he had a relationship with a boy named Ziah, but it didn't last long. Months later, Nao was found dead in his apartment by his best friend, Ani. His body was submerged under the water of his bathtub, and Nanama's investigation revealed high levels of toxicity in his systems from alcohol. He drank so he could have a easier time taking his own life, but not without writing a note to Ani, telling how sorry he was for bringing her sadness. His break-up with Ziah had taken it's toll emotionally and mentally.Nanama had closed the case on Nao's death, and takes his passing as a lesson to look after herself as much as she will others. She never met him face-to-face, but she respected his deeds. One day, Nao is discovered alive again due to necromancy and is able to contain his sense of self, however his aether slowly drains as time goes on. Eventually, Nao makes peace with himself and gives a proper farewell to his friends.

Lyrics:
The wind blows hard in December
Our last fight, do you remember?
Counting the days, since we left
You and I, slipping awayThe Days gone by when you loved me
No way, the way you now treat me
Pouring wine into my glass
Looking back to where we were?There's no direction for us
Here it comes the endless fightShow us light, for now
Show a sign for where we can go
Into the cave with no guiding light
Do you know...?
Where is the goal?
Don't just follow
We can try, because we're living now
It's bitter, so many sorrows
But we can swallow
It's gonna be our hardest timesEvery time I ask the smallest thing
You get mad or just ignore
I don't want to hear (Every time I)
How long we've been here (Ask the smallest thing)
There's no chance for fear (You get mad)
It's uncontrollable (Or just ignore)All things gone from left to right (Let's get started again)
And this world is changing fast (Do not tire yourself)
It's so hard to find an answer for itself (We'll get back the life for ourselves today)
Can we find the key to life? (Let's get started again)
I don't want to be a part (Do not scare yourself)
There's a spaceship we can ride (We can take this ride)
Now it's time to ride (For ourselves today)Let's get started again
Do not tire yourself
We'll get back the life for ourselves today
Let's get started again (Can we find the key to life?)
Do not scare yourself (I don't want to be a part)
We can take this ride for ourselves (There's a spaceship we can ride, Now it's time to ride)

to those days of me
in my mind roam around

I feel a pain from
time to time. Forget.
But I don't sure
forever.
I can't without you.
It is fact of mine?
So I don't sometimes
happens like that
see into dream those
days of me. Escape.
Wipe out I Can't it. My "Last Judgement"mou ni do to modora nai

Nanama was first created around September in 2018. I hadn't gone on her much, and most of my time was spent on my previous main alt account on the Famfrit server. I originally made her on Balmung, but then decided to transfer her to Gilgamesh for some godforsaken reason, and then got her sent to Mateus, where she still is to this day, until I decide to switch her over to another RP server. I'm not at all new to RPing. I do see myself as a expert, and have helped newbies by telling them the do's and don't's while RPing, as well as send them to a link where a video can better explain things than I can.Here are some other facts about me and Nanama that may or may not be known to the people I RP with, my friends, or some stranger that just got curious about my carrd:
