What did your character do before MSQ?

So, the topic here is what did your WoL do before the start of the main quest?
What was their occupation? Favorite foods? Were they sweet on anyone?
What npc are they currently infatuated with? Do you ship yourself with any NPCs?

Anything to help lay some foundation down for who YOUR character is and who you see them as is what this thread is for!

My WoL was the adopted daughter of an Ul'dahn chocobo rancher.

Peddler/smuggler/resistance supplier in Ala Mhigo.

He was a soldier in the XIVth Legion, and had been for over 2 decades. He left shortly before Dalamud fell, and had been a mercenary/adventurer for those 5 years before the MSQ started.

baking , my character have a bad sweet tooth so she decided to start baking instead of buying those low quality sweets of the mb , also doing alchemy and planting with her namazu friends in a little cabin in the forest away from people .

He was just another resident of the Black Shroud. His parents had been Wood Wailers so he learned the lance and bow from them as both Physical Education (aka wear the kid out so he'll sleep) and for use in hunting. Not long after joining the Lancer's Guild he got caught up in Events and the rest is history.
