Everybody's problem! Kitani is loud, energetic, and not often in trouble. A party girl emitting absolute gremlin energy. And though she often attempts to hide her emotions from others, she's not as good at it as she likes to think she is.
Events in her past kept her from allowing any relationship deeper than acquaintances. And she spent many years working aboard ships, avoiding staying in one place (or even with one crew) for very long. Keeping herself busy, and often surround by others, she made sure she had no time or reason to feel lonely. Working aboard ships was busy enough, but there were always new people to meet, new places to see, and new drinking games to compete in.
Now-a-days, she resides with her long-suffering partner, Olly. It's the longest she's ever stayed in one place, and the closest she's ever been with one person. Life sure has changed for Kitani, and it can feel a little overwhelming for her at times. Luckily, there's still plenty of parties that need attending where she can blow-off steam... and poor Olly gets dragged along to most of them.
Notes:
MSQ screenshots are OOC.
I just can't resist a pretty picture, but as she's not an actual WoL, she hasn't gone through the WoL's journey herself.
Kitani's nameday is 27th Sun of the 2nd Umbral Moon. Which translates to 27th April, which... I can't remember why I picked this. I was sure it was a cat related holiday, but all I can find is Free Feral Cat Spay Day. 🤣
EDIT:
This is how bad my memory issues are: I totally forgot when answering this, that she's a twin, and I didn't choose her nameday at all. Her nameday matches her twin brother Fionn's, which his player chose.
I should count myself lucky that I remember she's twin, and thus don't edit her nameday, every time I move her to different character slot, at least.

Prompt 2 : Horizon
Title : Everyday's An Adventure
Summary : It not like Kit to be up before Olly, but today is an exciting day - they're finally leaving for Tural!
[Read below, or over on AO3]
Kit emerges from the bathroom, hair still wet after her shower, and toothbrush still in her mouth as she’s not done brushing, as she frowns at Olly, still sound asleep. She gives him a gentle but firm shake. Nothing. Sighing, she returns to the bathroom. It's not every day you'll see her up and about before him, and even though they have plenty of time before they have to be anywhere, Kit was like a kid at Starlight Celebration. She'd hardly slept due to her excitement, and now that the sun was just about up, she'd decided they should be up too.
After finishing with her teeth, she returns to Olly's bedside, shaking him with both hands this time. He groans a little, and she groans back at him in frustration as she shakes him again. Today, they were off to new horizons! Somewhere even Kit hasn’t been: The New World, Tural!
"Lets gooo!" She insists, climbing onto the bed and straddling him just so she can shake him more vigorously.
Olly yawns, trying to turn over only to realize she's preventing him from doing so. He peeks at her with one eye open, surprised to see her already dressed, and then tries to drift back to sleep.
"Geddup!" Kit bounces, droplets from her hair showering down on him. "Geddup! Geddup! Geddup!"
"Geddoff!" He eventually replies.
"No!"
"Well, then I won't be going anywhere."
"Ollyyy!!" She groans at him, shaking him again.
"I can't go anywhere with you sitting on me, can I?" He teases, stretching before yawning once more and opening his eyes finally.
Kit hops off, grabbing the bed sheet and attempting to pull it off him.
"Are you even packed yet?" Olly asks as he sits up and swings his legs over the edge of the bed.
"I travel light!" Kit replies proudly. "Everything I need fits right in here." She taps a small bag strapped to her thigh, grinning widely.
Olly sighs. He knew it'd be down to him to back an actual travel bag - and luckily, he'd already done it. All that was left to do was throw in a toothbrush, hairbrush, and the likes of things he had yet to use this morning. But before he can even get his mental checklist in order, Kit's yanking at one of his arms to hurry him up. Best to just go with it. Mostly.
As he stands, and she begins ushering him towards to the bathroom, he plays at being more asleep than he really is, pretending to be confused as to which way he should be going until she gets behind him and starts pushing him forward - which of course, he resists somewhat, forcing Kit to put more effort into this than she really needs to. Until he jolts forward just enough that the force behind her pushing almost knocks her off her feet. And with a quick turn and a kiss to her forward, Olly disappears into the bathroom, leaving Kit a little stunned as a blush creeps onto her cheeks.
They've been together a good while now, but Olly still manages to catch her off-guard. It took Kit a long time to really settle into things, and even though her anxieties around relationships may never truly fizzle-out, she's reached a stage of contentment with Olly that she never thought possible.
Her ears turn to the sound of the shower as it interrupts her thoughts, and she notices the steam coming from the bathroom. Olly had left the door ajar. Her pupils dilate as the temptation calls to her.
No. She shakes her head. She’s fully dressed and ready to g-
Oh, who is she trying to kid!? Of course that mischievous grin sets-in as she not-so-sneakily makes her way into the bathroom, flinging her clothes out the door, and tackling Olly in the shower.
Does your wol/oc know / retain any survival skills, or would they not last a day out on their own? If so, did they have a past experience that made them this way?
Oh totally! When not working aboard ships, Kitani usually lived outdoors. Aside from periodically renting a room when outdoor bathing wasn't cutting-it, or after a night out of many drinks when it was just safer to do so, she'd only stay at inns during winter. So she's well versed in survival.
Kitani "chose" to remain homeless as a way to always keep moving. Staying in one place too long scared her, due to certain horrific events of her past. Being outdoors also meant she'd always have to have her wits about her, so she'd never be caught off-guard again.
#wolqotd Which City State, regardless of Expansion does your Wol/OC like the food from, and what is their favorite kind of dish?
Kitani's not overly fussy when it comes to food. Her favourites are grilled fish, and nearly anything with bacon involved. I think she probably prefers Limsa food, as there's a lot of different fish to grill. And it's the home of the Culinarians' Guild.
I think she's really like a lot of the meat dishes over in Tural too. Maybe one day she'll get a chance to visit?
Question of the Day!what does your WoL/OC smell like?
At the start of the day, probably apples or cherries (depending which body spray she chooses). But often that gets mixed with vegetation as the goes go on, as she's never shy of getting dirty (and she's an active tree climber).
Other scents she likes to wear are pineapple, coconut, watermelon, sweet orange, lemongrass, and rhubarb and custard. She especially likes to wear pineapple when she's out clubbing.
