Mimihi originally was a simple alchemist with unorthodox ideas trying to convince people to dispatch more alchemists to the field in the case where conjurers are unavailable (since, tbh, people with conjurer affinity aren't exactly wide spread). Just after seeing what happened in Ul'dah five years ago and how awful it was that she didn't really have the strength to do anything outside of the city like actual adventurers and such, she just kinda worked hard to change that in herself. Creating small things like quick salves, poison bombs, paralysis traps, flash grenades and other sorts of things that can be deployed in combat from a someone working as support.

I don't really RP due to being on a non-RP server and I know a lot of this bends canon, but I keep it in my mind as true to my character's story haha. She's a bit of a fire cracker.

And yes I realize my potate had a sex change bc I prefer the male lalafell emotes, but she'll always be Mimihi Mihi, the very tiny and aggressive potion slinging alchemist with a passion for... "cooking". But honestly if I could bring this little story to life without being shunned by FFXIV's RP community I so would.
Why would you get shunned for that?

I'm just your friendly neighborhood catgirl who always seems to be in the wrong place at the right time. It's not really a roleplay thing, it's more a transgirl thing of living a virtual life that I can't really live for reasons I don't care to embellish on. What little backstory I put into Staribbon is that she was an orphan in Kugane who doesn't know who her parents are. She did odd jobs around the city, laundry, stocking shelves, hawking wares, pretty much whatever she could do for a bit of coin. She took up arcanum and was a natural at it, eventually she bought a ticket to Limsa to hone her craft and suddenly found an amazing gift for being in the wrong place at the right time. In all fairness she'd rather not be the savior of the world and is more than a bit snarky about it, but it keeps her cute clothes and pastries and she's never want for a place to sleep.

I guess her lifestyle hasn't changed much. XD
