Among her peers Shiro is often seen as a natural born charmer - quick to return a quip while indulging flirty and playful banter.It's never a dull moment with Shiro as she'll almost always entertain any company and adventure that she might encounter.

Humble Beginnings

Shiro was born in Kugane and adopted by two Hyur merchants from the Far East who fostered her into their care. Her early years were spent helping out and understanding the trade of crafting and importing Junmaishu (rice wine) from Koshu to Eorzea's numerous ports.

descent into darkness

Frequent visits to and from Eorzea's great Continents during her early youth inspired her to venture on her own when she finally came of age. Driven to better herself in combat, she eventually took temporary residence in Ul'dah while studying the Dark Arts and Thaumaturgy. She then completed her Black Mage studies and pursued other worldly interests thereafter.

Honor and Glory

As a Miqo'te Seeker Shiro has always possessed a multitude of traits from her own race ranging from; wiry strength, agility and excellent stamina. However, her years of rigorous training in the Dark Arts had left her somewhat depleted in regards to her physical caliber. She returned to Kugane and took up the way of the katana alongside Master Musosai, a notorious samurai in Othard, up until his untimely passing.

Trick of the Trade

In between jobs Shiro often returns to her hometown in Koshu polishing and refining the junmai-shu trade she had learned from both her late foster parents. She values her position as an artisan and curates every hand-crafted bottle hoping that it would capture the very essence of the Far East. Shiro delivers and supplies her spirits to a majority of establishments in Kugane from the Shiokaze Hostelry to Sanjo's Red lamps.She has recently taken an interest in other spirits and has even taken jobs as a bartender at several locales. Her favorite spirit of choice is whiskey from the Far East.

Journey of a thousand yalms

As a merchant and fellow trader Shiro often spends a majority of her time out in the open seas sailing and traversing across Eorzea's Three Great Continents.One of her greatest feats to date is successfully mounting and grooming a rare dragon-kin species in the Azim Steppe, the Rathalos. Shiro is quite proud of this achievement and often prefers traveling alongside him especially when venturing uncharted or otherwise dangerous territories.

In the dark of night

During Shiro's journey she briefly crossed paths with Noctis, the mysterious man in black coined by Kipih, who was being investigated by the reporter for the Raven.Together they joined forces and braved through perturbed daemons from his world which had trespassed into Eorzea.

OOC

My availability varies day to day due to real life obligations. I reside in the PST time zone and am fairly new to RP, but have had a fair amount of experience with writing scenes.IC and OOC are not interchangeable for me.My personal RP preference is a minimum of at least a paragraph, but I'm more than happy to match what is given. All pov roles must be third person.Any messages and inquiries would be preferred through discord or tells in-game first.Mature themes may be explored, but with ample story or character familiarity prior.

Discipline and Dominance

(All characters participating must be 21+)

During her time in Ul'dah Shiro often passed her time venturing out into the city-state where she met a variety of people from every corner of Eorzea. She eventually crossed paths with a conjurer, Magdalena, who served at a nearby convent not too far from The Quicksand. Eager for knowledge regarding the teachings and books of Ul'dah's diety Nald'thal, she spent many hours in her company and tutelage of their religion.While studying the Dark Arts and residing in the bustling city-state, Shiro was later exposed to its corruption and political disputes within itself. She learned that under Magdalena's immaculate facade lurked something darker than she imagined. After all, everyone had to make their coin one way or another.She discovered that Magdalena was a Dominant who worked in one of Ul'dah's pleasure seeking establishments. Curious, the younger miqo'te had wondered why she had taken up such a profession. Her answer wasn't as as simple as she thought it'd be and so Magdalena showed her why.Shiro underwent private training starting from the very core of Magdalena's practice which involved exercising discipline and maintaining control within any given scene. In time she learned proper use of the profession's tools and a myriad of skills varying from the whip to intermediate levels of bondage.
