Chi's ancestors hailed from the Steppes, leading her to frequently journey and immerse herself in her ancestors tribe's culture despite she herself not being native of there...This is the lie she tells everyone.

At war with herself, throwing her life away for a conflict she was never truly part of.When she learned during one of her travels to the Steppes that the Xaela Tribes were aiding in the Doman Liberation, she immediately threw herself into the fray — perhaps hoping she wouldn’t return.

Following Doma's Liberation, the Xaela felt the urge to leave everything behind.Armed solely of her old katana and a handful of gil, Chi'yo set out to travel. She journeyed through Othard, Hingashi, Eorzea, Thavnair and even Garlemald - her former enemies.During her traverls, the Xaela quickly learned that her charms are just as lethal as her katana...Day after day, it became harder and harder for her to resist the allure of that lifestyle oh-so-different from the one she had known back home...A lifestyle of crime, secrecy, danger and deception.

A Xaela warrior of the Steppes, thrown into a chaotic Kugane. Raised in nobility and made a samurai, just to leave everything behind and start anew...

F r a c t u r e d..P a s t

There was a time when this Xaela fought a daily war within her own mind. A terrible mistake made in her childhood had triggered a ripple of unfortunate events, consequences she was never able to move on from.During a critical mission assigned by her former place of employment, Chi'yo struck a deal: she sacrificed her childhood memories to ensure its success. Her trauma erased, her superiors satisfied — all for the best, or so she believed when she offered herself.It really didn’t take long for the consequences of that critical decision to reveal themselves;Why does her biological mother hate her? Where is her father? Does she have siblings? Why was she hiding her past? Why does she hates Matangas!?Her memories lost, her past fractured. With no way to ever find answers to those questions, Chi'yo transitioned from a daily war against herself, to a hollow silence she'll never be able to fill.

Never was she one to miss her old life, but to be branded as a 'Dishonored Samurai' by the Sekiseigumi themselves? That did rub her the wrong way.

To an outsider, seeing someone as small as her being such a ruthless fighter is always a shock — but as a Dotharl, this runs through her veins.Though she began her training as a Samurai only after leaving the Steppe, Chi'yo quickly realized she was a natural with the katana.Her exceptional control over aether manipulation enhanced her already impressive skill, but her true potential only emerged when an old co-worker of hers revealed to her something.Something that fully changed the way she fought — forever.

S t e a l t h..A n d..C h a r m

Small, fast, agile, lightfooted — and able to talk herself out of any situation, even when caught red-handed. She was born to live in the shadows.

A ruthless fighter when needed, but brute force is not always the answer.A blade in the dark is often all it takes to get the job done. But should that fail? She’s more than happy to finish off things the loud way.A deadly combo.

Her aether, attuned to ice? Her entire life she went without knowing — until she was made aware.For many days she gave little thought to it, but the ever-growing dangers threatening her and those she cared for drove her to expand her arsenal.
With guidance from an old co-worker and former sensei, Chi'yo began to walk this newfound path.Days, weeks, and months passed as she fully dedicated herself to mastering a completely new fighting style — one she could truly call her own.
.......No miqo'te were harmed!

M u d r a s.

Chi'yo never fully mastered them, but during her training with her sensei, she picked up a few techniques she still uses to this day — mostly as defensive tools.

If this Au Ra devotes herself to a cause or a person, it's practically impossible to shake her off.She’ll do anything in her power to protect those she cares for — even if it means putting herself in harm’s way.

B i p o l a r

While usually very kind, cordial and friendly, Chi'yo tends to snap very easily. Tread with care.

B l o o d ...L u s t

To the surprise of absolutely no one, a lifetime of fighting left this Xaela just a little bloodthirsty.While she never hurts innocent people unless her hand is forced, when said hand is forced... she doesn't stop until her blade finds a home in someone’s torso.This lizard is stab-happy.
...

I n t e r r o g a t i o n

You do not want to be locked in a room with her as your interrogator.

T r a v e l e r

Chi'yo is a seasoned traveler, and while she is not traveling as much today, it would have not be uncommon to spot her resting at inns dotted across different major cities during her traveler's days.
...

S w o r d ...F i g h t s

Chi'yo will never turn down a fair fight, granted that the situation allows it.

C r i m e

Chi'yo could not resist the allure of the underworld for too long. Wherever she went traveling, the chances she did something unlawful are pretty high...

A z i m ...S t e p p e

Despite her lies, she is native of the Steppes. A Xaela of the Steppe can recognize her, a Dhotarl even more so. How much they'd know, can be arranged.

D o m a n...L i b e r a t i o n

Chi'yo took part of the Doman Liberation effort and fought with Xaela tribe during the assault at Doma Castle. If your character took part of the Doman Liberation in any capacity (or side), he or she may have seen and even fought alongside (or against) her.
