The Doll House

Early LifeBorn a princess of the Far East, she was once known among the steppe as one of the revered clan daughters—royalty in all but proclamation. Her parents, seeing the shadow of Garlean conquest creeping ever closer, made the choice to abandon their thrones and titles for the sake of their family’s survival. Rather than rule from a battlefield, they chose exile—seeking sanctuary within protected lands where Garlean steel could not so easily reach.Their journey ended in Kugane, a city of trade and quiet watchfulness. The leaders of the Far East knew well who they were, and though no announcements were ever made, oaths of protection were sworn in silence. From that moment on, the family understood that their lives would be lived in the open—but never truly seen.Her father, once a ruler and warrior, turned his blade toward instruction, teaching the art of the samurai within Kugane’s disciplined halls. Her mother, a woman once steeped in magic and courtly duty, chose a gentler path, laying her spellcraft aside in favor of the hearth. Together, they resolved to preserve the traditional cuisine of the steppe and the surrounding Far Eastern lands, believing culture to be just as vital to survival as steel or sorcery.When her father eventually retired, the family opened a small café at the edge of the Kugane markets. There, in a quiet corner away from politics and pageantry, they served dishes rooted in memory and homeland. Refugees and travelers from across the Far East found comfort in their food, and word spread quickly. The café flourished—not loudly, but steadily—while its owners watched the shifting tides of the world from the sidelines, rulers in silence rather than name.It was during these years that she learned the truth of her birth in full—the weight of her title, and the future that awaited her. The matter of her betrothal was kept secret from the public, spoken of only within the family. Her parents had once arranged for her to wed the leader of the Oronir clan. Though she held a fondness for him, she refused the union, believing such a marriage unwise—not born of love, nor suited to the future she knew she must one day claim.For her parents’ ambitions had never truly faded. In time, they intend to reclaim their places as the rightful rulers of the Far East—Hingashi, Doma, Dalmasca, Nagxia, and beyond. She understands this truth better than anyone. When that day comes, the burden of unity will fall to her.She lives now between worlds: a quiet presence in Kugane’s markets, and the future sovereign of an entire continent—watching, waiting, and preparing for the moment when she will no longer stand in the shadows.Personality and Back roundShe finds that being with people and interacting with others keeps her busy enough not to think about any of that. She has had few relationships in her past but those she has had are very strong and bonded. Her finding these friends and relationships has lead to a overwhelming happiness in her and she strives to do that for everyone else. She finds that being out and about usually is the best way to keep her mind active.Middle LifeThe family reclaimed dominion over the Far East only a few years before the war’s end. Her father, seizing what had always been his by right, restored their bloodline to the throne and returned their name to power. With that restoration came scrutiny—every step the princess took was watched, every word weighed. Admirers and enemies alike fixed their gaze upon her, some eager to curry favor, others nursing old resentments that had festered during her family’s absence.For her safety, she was placed under strict protective orders. When she ventured beyond the palace walls, she did so encircled by guards, her freedom traded for vigilance, her youth overshadowed by duty.Their first dealings with Ishgard proved no less fraught. The Dragonsong War had only just ended, and though peace had been declared, prejudice lingered like ash in the air. To many Ishgardian nobles, the Au Ra were still dragon-folk—creatures to be feared rather than understood. The princess bore the brunt of those suspicions: whispered slurs behind gloved hands, cold stares in gilded halls, alliances offered with reluctance rather than trust.Yet time, perseverance, and shared resolve began to erode those barriers. Through diplomacy and quiet strength, the family proved themselves not as monsters of legend, but as equals—sovereigns bound by honor, and allies forged in the fragile hope of a world finally learning how to heal.

The Adarkim, the biggest tribe in the Steppe. The Qalli which are the song birds of the steppe and use music and singing to communicate. The Torgud , which choose to not wear clothing and embellish themselves in body paint and jewelry. Each tribe plays into her life and will come out with talking to her.
