Mari Mononoke

Name: Mari Mononoke

Race: Miqo’te Seeker of the Sun

Nationality: Gridanian

Background: As a young teenager Mari’s parents who were renowned battle mages were caught up while fighting in the calamity, leaving a young kitten behind awaiting her parents return from the battlefield. A sprightly, kind keeper of the moon took it upon herself to raise Mari at her home in Gridania after learning the fate of her family as she had no tribe of her own. Mari is eternally grateful for the kindness of her new mother:

“She has always protected me. I wish to become a strong conjurer that I may protect her and possess the power to extinguish any enemies that may bring harm to the ones I love”.

Mari’s love of nature and her drive to protect others shaped her ambition to become a powerful white mage, to do this she sets out on a journey from her home town of Gridania to seek the conjurer’s guild to give her some guidance and teaching along her path.

Appearance: Mari has both hair and eyes that are varying shades of grey, her mother would say that her eyes show the balance within her; the calm flowing water side that cures her injured allies and the passionate fire that flourishes within to take up the frontline and fight for what she believes.

Mari can be seen to wear pale grey war paint on her cheeks to show great respect for the keepers of the moon that shaped her childhood.

Personality: As a sunseeker raised by keepers of the moon from a very young impressionable age, her traits are more in line with the keepers of the moon than the seekers of the sun despite outward appearances. Being raised in a very small tribe means that Mari can be fairly shy around large groups of people but is not cold, she has a very positive and warm nature always wanting to help her allies both in and out of the battlefield.
