Sehyu Tetsun
(Say-You Tet-Soon)
Backstory
In the shadowy alleys of a bustling city, where the whispers of fate intertwined with the cacophony of urban life, a young miqo'te named Sehyu carved out her existence. The locals, with a mix of pity and disdain, dubbed her a "street rat" – an irony not lost on the girl whose fur stood on end at the mere sight of a rodent's tail.Orphaned and alone, Sehyu's family was a patchwork quilt of kindred spirits, fellow castaways in life's tumultuous sea. These bonds, forged in the crucible of shared hardship, became the bedrock of her world. Perhaps it was this very void that drove her endless quest for new "besties," each friendship a stitch in the tapestry of the family she yearned to create.Sehyu's childhood was a gauntlet of survival, each day a battle against the elements and emptiness. Nights were a restless waltz with the cold, hard ground beneath the indifferent stars. Her stomach often sang a mournful song of hunger, and a persistent ache of loneliness nestled deep within her chest. Yet, against all odds, her spirit remained unbroken, a flickering flame that refused to be extinguished by the harsh winds of circumstance.
Without the guiding hand of parents, Sehyu occasionally found herself entangled with the wrong crowd. These self-proclaimed "masterminds" saw in her sweet, earnest eyes an opportunity to mold a perfect accomplice. But fate, it seemed, had other plans for the young miqo'te. Her attempts at delinquency were nothing short of comical – a reluctant rebel whose heart was simply too pure for a life of crime.In one memorable escapade, Sehyu's conscience got the better of her after pilfering a mere loaf of bread. Teary-eyed and trembling, she marched herself to the city guards, dramatically begging to be locked away for her heinous crime. The bewildered officers, more amused than angry, responded with a flurry of head pats and gentle admonishments about choosing better company.Yet it was in the warm glow of tavern hearths that Sehyu truly came alive. There, amidst the clinking of mugs and the hum of conversation, she would perch on a stool, ears twitching with excitement as she absorbed every word from weather-worn adventurers. Tales of epic battles against Primals, daring rescues of imprisoned royalty, and triumphs of good over evil set her imagination ablaze. In those moments, her eyes sparkled brighter than any treasure hoard, reflecting the adventures she longed to call her own.As childhood gave way to the first blush of adulthood, Sehyu's yearning for adventure grew from a whisper to a roar. The stories that once seemed like far-off fantasies now beckoned her with siren song's intensity. Could she, a former street urchin, truly carve her name into the annals of history? The thought both thrilled and terrified her.With trembling paws and a heart full of hope, Sehyu knew that the time had come to pen the first chapter of her own legend. The comfort of familiar streets now felt like shackles, and the unknown beyond the city walls called out with promises of glory and self-discovery.Taking a deep breath, she stepped forward, ready to transform from a spectator of great tales into their protagonist. For Sehyu, the greatest adventure of all was about to begin – the journey to find her place in a world as vast and wondrous as her dreams.

RP Hooks:
Branching Out - The orphan has spent nearly her entire life within the streets of Limsa Lominsa. Hearing all the wondrous tales of the world outside has caused something within the little Miqo'te to stir. Are the tales told within the taverns true? Perhaps one day she can find out herself, with a companions of her own to guide her out of her cage.A Lost Miqo'te -Sehyu's sense of direction is... limited. A simple skip to the inn often ends up with her lost in some back alley with a group of vagrants, or accidentally encroaching on private property. If you see her, maybe you can give her a guiding hand? Or perhaps she falls pray to whatever scheme has it's sights upon her.Down in The Dumps - Feeling sad? Having a bad day? Lonely? Passed on drunken on the tavern floor? Not to worry, when in need Sehyu will feel obligated to give you a pick me up! Strangers or not, everyone deserves someone who can look out for them when they are at their lowest.Broke and Homeless - Busking on the streets, showing off her dance skills isn't as lucrative as before. Those new dancers are so pretty, and those skimpy clothes, and big... Ah! She needs to find some work or she'll go hungry, perhaps you have a job for a spunky Miqo'te?Naive is her Middle Name- Such as that one time she joined a cult. They were all so inviting and kind... until the bloody dagger came out. Or when she lost all of her hard owned Gil trying to win the teddy bear at the carnival. The game wasn't rigged, she just didn't have the talent. Someone should put a leash on her, she always seems to run into some kind of trouble.The Young Apprentice- Spending most her time reading every novel and adventure story she could get her hand on (and the occasionally smutty romance novel), she dreams of being a adventurer. She may be a bit incompetent out in the wilds, but everyone starts somewhere! She would love to become a companion who can teach her the ways of adventuring.Blank Slate - In the end Sehyu has little experience outside of her comfort zone, yet is ever learning and looking to try new things. She can be pretty easily convinced into most situations if presented well.
OOC Info:
Im quite busy with class and dance, so my time in FFXIV varies wildly from day to day, week to week basis. If I vanish that is likely the reason, or I have been kidnapped!
