After several attempts at creating the character, scrapping ideas, salvaging ideas and scrapping again. Like a Kantana that's been folded several times I've refined the story a lot from what I started out with. Without getting too into the details I'll answer the questions.Â
Raen or Xaela?
Raen
-What were they doing before they came to Eorzea?
Born a Garlean bastard child, later conscripted into military. Failed to carry out an order to kill civilians, runs from the military in fear of being court martial. Flees to motherland Doma, and she sought refuge by taking on a new name and becoming a shrine maiden. Learns to become a shinobi under the guidance of the head priest who also happened to be an elderly ninja (Won't elaborate more on this). Later flees with the rest of the refugees led by Yugiri.Â
-How did they come to Eorzea?
On a ship from Doma.Â
-Where do they fit in now?
ICly she looks after the refugees and orphans separated from their parents when they fled from Doma. When she has free time she wanders into cities and acts as a adventurer/traveler to learn more about the country they've settled into and gather intel. Her public image is that of a curious foreigner who wishes to learn more about the different culture, customs, their political hierarchy and relations with other nations, on the other hand she's a former Garlean soldier and trained Shinobi who excels in information gathering and assassination. Latter of which I'm still developing more, usually chances are you'll only see the former if you come across her ICly.
