but I'll have you know I'm full on Moon Kitten awesome...

Hahah, that one threw me...a mooncat with a warm color palette! No need to do any editing if nothing quite fits, since we all gotta do our own thing. But, it's nice to run into someone with a similar original name.

I sort of stumbled into the name "Mahri" -- I wanted something with that vowel sound, and by chance happened upon the name Sulaiman al-Mahri, who was a 15th century Arab Navigator. I rolled with that, and naturally, Llymlaen was the logical choice for a patron, and this character here has a bit of an Arabic look about her, so.

Not a super-elaborate backstory, but she's a bit older than your average FF character (she'd have to be like, the experienced Sazh or Auron type), has a few kids who are being raised collectively in her home village, which seems about right for suncat customs. She has extraordinary admiration for her father and a great deal of pride in where she comes from. However, she'll just as gladly go by "Anzu", her given name. The S' is the tribal honorific (though there's a bit of wordplay with the tribal name and her given name...but only noticeable by nerds for Mesopotamian mythology).

Likes: Science, maps, tea, hard liquor, heavy things, good people.
Hates: Awkward social expectations, people who don't practice what they preach, excessively loud things, being touched in the belly without warning (caution, will bite, twitchy cat)

it's the eyes that would give away my elaborate rouse, one look and you'd notice they are as round as a full moon :3

My characters name comes from her original FFXIV 1.0 name (with he secret addition of a middle name :3): Aluendalee (Maria) Kor, which I then shortened to Aluena Marie, add a little Miqo'te flare and bam: Aluena Mahri

but to note my characters name would be a good Seeker of the Sun name as well: A'luena Mahri <-- done :3
