My name. It's not lore-accurate. And that's why my Kaniku is the way she is. I'm originally from the Siren world because Balmung has its legendary crowding issues and I still wanted to play. One day... the clouds part. The angels sang. Chocobos kweh.
Balmung was open.
I was smart enough to save a character design I liked, but not enough to have thought out a name beforehand. So knowing how Tarutaru and Lalafell names use Japanese morae:
Pa-Pa-Sha-N
Na-Na-Mo
I just string together some kana and come up with Kaniku Kuni. Then I later find out this isn't lore-accurate.
So okay. She's from Doma. But... There aren't many, if any NPC Lalafell from Doma. What now? Well, Lalafell were from the South Seas and traveled to new lands. There we go! Her grandfather came to Doma before it was locked down by the Garleans. All's good.
But wait! Why didn't she go to Mor Dhona with the rest of the Domans?
T-that's a very good question! There are a lot of Lalafell in Ul'dah. There aren't (as far as I'm aware of) in Doma. So naturally she stuck around to learn more about her heritage. But one doesn't just stay in Ul'dah, right? Well, this explains why she was part of the Immortal Flames.
For want of a world a name was lost. For want of a name a background was lost. For want of a background, a beautiful character was made.
