Baja, Sword Witch

I dunno. Just venting. Will probably delete this.

at the cusp of adulthood Baja began to experience aetheric phenomena that made her life a living hell - random imbalances in aether causing outbursts of elemental chaos and drawing the attentions of fiends and other vile beings. This culminated in a voidsent attack on her village that resulted in the death of both Raelona and Papa Achtfrusk, among others. In her grief and agony, Baja fled, believing that Brave Crocus, and the village, thought her a curse

When she was a teenager, it also became obvious that, whatever her biological origins, she had borderline supernatural physical capabilities. Barely into adulthood, still gangly and awkward, and she could lift more than 4 farmhands, outrun a chocobo, or climb a 100ft vertical cliff-side without getting winded. Baja learned fighting from a retired pirate bosun who'd settled in their community, Papa Achtfrusk, and became the sort of de-facto village protector, a role of no small significance for a provincial town in the wake of the Calamity.

I've been working on re-inventing Baja, and I've finally started zeroing in on her character and story. I decided I wanted to do a full replay of MSQ, and do the photo-journal thing. *** Journey's Beginning: Meet Baja! Sundyrgeim "Baja" Bozkasch began her adventures in the South of Vylbrand, in the shadow of Limsa Lominsa. She was raised by adoptive parents from infancy, a pair of married roegadyn botanists Raelona Berkituwyn and Brave Crocus. The two women were always evasive with their daughter's origins. They would only say that her biological mother was Brave's sister, thus making her half-roegadyn by birth, and her father was a hrothgar from far away. They gave her her father's surname, despite insisting he was dead, for reasons unknown. Sundyrgeim was the name they gave her, a sea wolf name, but when she was barely a few years old a childhood friend called her Baja, a diminutive nickname of Dunefolk origin: "The Lower Down One" or more essentially, "Tiny." The name stuck.
