#imami dataq

Remember kids: A good friend calls you on your bad decisions, like haircuts. A great one never lets you forget them.

Something, something, Lyse hugging Alisaie super tight while wearing that outfit might have become a core memory, something, something...

With the Kojin's Blessing, Imami discovers that she likes being underwater when she's overwhelmed or needs to think. Some thoughts shouldn't be processed alone, however.

Such as the abuse taken as a Garlean conscript.

That could have gone better, G'raha...

I guess it is a Jump puzzle...

There aren't many better ways to end a day, honestly...

(A few more for fun!)

here's your answer: yes, they would. falling in love with you feels like falling for your childhood best friend. it's warm, cozy, just feels so natural. it feels right. you're someone who knows how to make people feel comfortable around you; soft spoken, sweet, gentle, such a caring soul. it's hard not to like you. even though i don't really know you, somehow i feel like i have a weak spot for you already; you remind me so much of one of those plaid blankets, the ones you would wrap around your shoulders on a rainy day, and of the tepid sunlight that creeps through the curtains in the early morning.

I think Vahloh would get quite the smile if he was told this. It's also pretty fitting, particularly as of Dawntrail, as he's far more in tune with himself. Thus, he's more relaxed and naturally friendly. It helps when one has had the time and support to move on from the various horrible life experiences that come with being a WoL.

Imami Dataq

here's your answer: yes, they would. i feel like people would fall in love with your mind, first- your imagination, your creativity, your words. it's like you paint a pretty scenery whenever you open your mouth- gold, pinks, reds, purples, everyone drowns in them but it's such a sweet sensation that they don't really mind being breathless. you're charming, you really are, and you're an inspiration for anyone who looks up to you. perhaps your soul belongs in a museum, among works of art such as yourself. a single question comes to my mind: who wouldn't fall for you? with you i associate old love letters, the ones sprayed with perfume, and long, train rides.

This fits, but also doesn't? She has a wonderful mind, sure, but it's not very obvious. She's pretty quiet, got a lotta trauma. She is definitely a wonderful partner, and very creative, you just have to get to that point with her. Thankfully, she does get that love and patience in the end.

"Cirina?"

munch, munch

"Sadu?!"

"You do seem to be enjoying yourself, Cirina..."

Theeeeeere really wasn't one for my boy. See, ol' Vahloh here was not originally intended to be my WoL. I ask that you cast your mind back, to a time before the unlimited free trial that included the award-winning Heavensward expansion...

Stormblood was on the horizon, and I was told to try this Final Fantasy game. So, I downloaded the benchmark, and made my future WoL... Imami!

I had it all figured out. I chose Imami because I liked how it rolled off of the tongue, and Dataq because I liked the idea of a wanderer with a found home to come from a tribe of wanderers. Simple, clean, nice.

But, I had to see if I would actually like the game first, and the trial back then didn't have Au Ra. So, I decided to make a catboy. "Because everybody will be playing catgirls, obviously, so a catboy will be fairly unique!" I was a silly soul, looking back. But, I wanted to be decently authentic, and looked up Miqo'te naming conventions. I chose to make him Vahloh of the 'Ir' tribe, because it sounded like Valor, and just threw in the last name of Kiba because I didn't like the idea of either Tia or Nuhn. To justify it, I came up with some headcanon that he encountered some refugee family that said 'Kiba' around him, and he latched on when traveling to Ul'dah.

I didn't realize until about... Titan that I got my naming conventions mixed up. But by then, it was far too late. I had grown attached, Imami had become a secondary character, and Vahloh'ir became the WoL. I could have renamed him, sure, but I really liked his name. So, I fleshed him out a bit. I had his real name be R'vahloh Tia, made him a mix of Moon Keeper and Sun Seeker, and had him take his father's "Ir" when he left the tribe without considering the consequences because he was an impulsive 18 year old.

Thanks for the ask, Mysterious Anon!

Also I'm gonna just post young Vahloh-folks:
