Av'yana Maimhov
Miqo'te ♀ / Keeper of the Moon
Background
Av'yana, Yana to her family and Avy to most friends, is the youngest daughter of a tailor and a merchant from Ul'dah. As a child, she often stayed with her mother at the shop and had few friends aside from the children of her family's many clients.Her family's business was thriving well until the Calamity hit, and while the Maimhovs were luckily unharmed, the years of decreased imports from other major cities began to take its toll on their income. When their finances hit rock bottom, Av'yana decided she wanted to help by getting her parents out of deals with opportunistic merchants and gathering the raw materials herself.Convincing her parents to let her leave on her own was the young Miqo'te's greatest challenge. For a while, she was asked to stay close by, at least until she learned how to hunt. A fateful encounter with a robbery victim in Central Thanalan eventually led her to her mentor, Agnes Arctura, and the group of adventurers who would eventually teach her to fend for herself in the wild.Av'yana eventually left Ul'dah for the lush forests of the Black Shroud and, much like the other Keeper population in the area, showed great skill with the bow. She familiarized herself quickly with the terrain in the area, and was sending her own handcrafted velveteen back to Ul'dah in no time.
Personality
Av'yana is a pacifist who will try to avoid conflict as much as she possibly can. She tries to be polite and can be a little soft spoken at first, but underneath the quiet facade is a young lady who only wants to make a friend. Those who manage to get past Av'yana's timid demeanor will find that, when she's comfortable, she can be quite chatty and adventurous.While clothcraft is her greatest love, she also loves to learn new things from others and will gravitate towards those who are passionate for what they do. When in the company of somebody who can keep talking about what they love, Av'yana will often find herself just listening to them speak and will sometimes need a reminder to chime in, especially in group settings.
Hooks
Av'yana is a skilled seamstress and tailor, and loves to build strong working relations with her clientele. If you need a garment made, she'll be glad to make it for you. Expect to meet a few times throughout the process to make sure every seam fits right!
Though this Miqo'te hates the battlefield, she has a harder time saying no to someone in need. Invite Av'yana to your party if you want a grumpy but skilled archer on your side; A nice dessert after combat will serve as payment enough.
Av'yana eats out a lot! If you work at or own a restaurant, she may come in as a customer. She will also fawn over anyone who can cook a decent meal, since she can't cook to save a life.
Haunts
Av'yana lives in the Lavender Beds and spends a lot of time at home in her workshop. She also frequents a cafe in her neighborhood, where her good friend Terrans works as a waiter. She will also often be found at the Archer's Guild in Gridania for training.
The Maimhov parents still live in Ul'dah, and Av'yana will often stay in her studio in the Goblet when visiting. She will also host clients here for fittings and other important meetings.
Av'yana's sister, Sami, works in a restaurant in Wineport. Sometimes, Av'yana will visit to deliver ingredients harvested from the forests of the Black Shroud.
Most of Av'yana's clients come from Ishgard, where she is currently setting up a small boutique and meeting area for her clients' convenience.
Manari Kaisuri
Au Ra ♀ / Raen
Background
Manari, or Mana, as most people call her, is a Raen hailing from a small, rural village in Doma. Mere weeks after she was born, her mother was taken from the village to serve the Garlean Empire, prompting her father to take the infant and escape. A long boat ride brought them to the region of Thanalan. They would eventually find a camp outside of Ul'dah where the pair would settle well into Mana's adolescence.The move from Doma to Thanalan was a painful one, and from a young age, Mana was taught to have a strong sense of culture despite being so far from their home. When she was left to play with the Ul'dahn merchants' children, it would be her ties to the Far East that piqued her new friends' interest. Sometimes, when they had the ingredients for it, they would try and recreate the Doman desserts that her father made at home.Growing up, Mana had always had a strong appreciation for the arts, partaking in song and dance whenever she had the opportunity. Shortly after her best friend Av'yana left for the Black Shroud, Mana would find herself signing up to join a traveling dance troupe who had stopped at their camp in Thanalan. She found herself separated from her father for a few years before eventually reuniting in Doma. It was there that her father revealed that the Imperial forces had vacated the village, and that he had returned in hopes of finding her mother.Mana now spends her time learning dance in an academy in Kugane, hoping to hone the craft and eventually teach it herself. Whenever possible, she will travel to Eorzea to visit her childhood friends, and she will always have something from Doma to share with them when she does.

Her father has since returned to their old home in Doma despite Mana's offers for him to stay with her. Mana will visit multiple times a week to have meals with him, and will often take walks in the surrounding area.
When traveling to Eorzea, Mana will usually arrive first in Limsa Lominsa. She often rents an inn there and can spend quite a bit of time shopping at the city's markets.
