Eke Tumet is Madda's Au Ra. She's Xaela.Â
Her story and such comes from the Tumet tribe's custom to tie their kids to a tree when they're old enough and travel wherever. If any kids manage to return, they get a name and a formal invitation to the tribe. Eke is not one of those people.Â
Eke did succeed in getting off the tree, but after that, because of being mostly sheltered by her mother, she was unable to find her way back and ended up wandering and living off the land. Living the life of a wanderer, she eventually met up with another Raen tribe (there's one that accepts and prefers it's new arrivals to be foreigners IIRC) and grew up there before hopping on a ship to Eorzea to escape the further persecution of the Empire.Â
Upon getting a ride to Thanlahn, Eke bummed around a bit before catching eye of the dancers in Ul'Dah. While most of them did have a rather seedy underside, she found the fluid motion of their moves and such interesting and strangely obsessive. With what little Gil she had, she continually purchased lessons while living in poor housing. Currently, she resides in the capital, currently trying to make endsmeet while also fueling her hobby of dancing.
