BIOGRAPHY:
YESHA MORI IS A HALF-MIQO'TE AND HALF-HYUR ADVENTURER BORN IN THE FAR EAST AND RAISED IN THE ARID CLIMES OF EASTERN THANALAN. HER FATHER WAS A KEEPER OF THE MOON MIQO'TE, SENT TO DOMA BEFORE THE GARLEAN OCCUPATION AS AN EMISSARY OF THE EAST ALDENARD TRADING COMPANY. HIS MISSION WAS SIMPLE — EXCHANGE PELTS AND HORNS FROM EORZEA FOR THE RARE SILKS, SPICES, AND CRAFTED WARES OF THE FAR EAST, HOPING TO RETURN TO UL’DAH WITH GOODS THAT WOULD FETCH A SMALL FORTUNE.
BUT TRADE WAS NOT THE ONLY THING HE FOUND IN DOMA. AMID THE BUSTLE OF LOCALS, MERCHANTS, AND DIPLOMATS, HE MET A HYURAN WOMAN, AND IN THE TIME THEY SPENT TOGETHER, LOVE EVENTUALLY TOOK ROOT. THEIR UNION BROUGHT FORTH TWIN DAUGHTERS— YESHA AND YAVANNA — BUT THE JOY WAS SHORT-LIVED, QUICKLY SHADOWED BY TRAGEDY. WEAKENED BY CHILDBIRTH, THEIR MOTHER DIED ON THE BIRTHING BED, LEAVING HER NEWBORN DAUGHTERS IN THE ARMS OF A GRIEVING FATHER. TO HONOR HER, HE GAVE THE TWINS THE NAMES SHE CHOSE, ALONG WITH HER DOMAN SURNAME, A PERMANENT TIE TO THE LAND OF THEIR BIRTH.
ALL AROUND THEM, THE WORLD WAS SHIFTING. THE GARLEAN EMPIRE’S SHADOW LOOMED EVER CLOSER; A FIST CLOSING IN AROUND DOMA, AND SENSING THE INEVITABLE DANGER, THEIR FATHER MADE THE PAINFUL CHOICE TO TAKE HIS DAUGHTERS AND FLEE THE FAR EAST, BRINGING THEM TO THE RELATIVE SAFETY OF EASTERN THANALAN. THERE, THEY WERE RAISED AMONG A KEEPER CLAN, A MATRIARCHAL COMMUNITY OF MIQO'TES THAT, WHILE NOT UNKIND, NEVER FULLY EMBRACED THE HALF-HYURAN TWINS. THEY WERE ANOMALIES— ACKNOWLEDGED, BUT ALWAYS WITH A QUIET WARINESS, THEIR HERITAGE WHISPERED ABOUT BEHIND THEIR BACKS.
THEIR FATHER, RESTLESS AND BOUND TO THE PATH OF A MERCHANT AND THE WANDERING WAYS OF A MALE MIQO'TE, SOON LEFT AGAIN IN PURSUIT OF HIS VENTURES. THIS TIME, HE DID NOT RETURN. WHETHER HE WAS LOST TO WAR, THE ELEMENTS, OR HIS OWN AMBITIONS, NONE COULD SAY.
AT EIGHT YEARS OLD, YAVANNA FELL ILL, AFFLICTED BY A WASTING SICKNESS THAT GRADUALLY WEAKENED HER, FOR WHICH THERE IS NO CURE. YESHA BECAME HER SISTER’S PRIMARY GUARDIAN AND CARETAKER, TENDING TO HER THROUGH EVERY FEVERED NIGHT, HUNTING WITH THE CLAN TO ENSURE THEY HAD ENOUGH TO EAT. THE YEARS WERE LONG, FILLED WITH QUIET STRUGGLE, UNTIL AT LAST, YAVANNA SUCCUMBED TO HER ILLNESS. SHE PASSED WHEN YESHA WAS TWENTY-ONE.
WITH HER SISTER GONE AND NOTHING ANCHORING HER TO THE CLAN, YESHA CHOSE THE ONLY PATH THAT MADE SENSE — SHE LEFT AND PURSUED THE LIFE OF AN ADVENTURER. SHE MOVED FROM PLACE TO PLACE, TAKING WHATEVER WORK SHE COULD FIND, LINGERING JUST LONG ENOUGH TO EARN HER KEEP BEFORE MOVING ON AGAIN. TOWNS AND SETTLEMENTS BLURRED TOGETHER, BECAME MERE WAYPOINTS IN A LIFE SPENT IN PERPETUAL MOTION.
EVENTUALLY, HER TRAVELS LED HER TO NEW GRIDANIA. THERE, IN THE HEART OF THE TWELVESWOOD, FATE UNEXPECTEDLY INTERVENED. WHAT HAD ONCE BEEN THE QUIET PATH OF A LONE TRAVELER BECAME SOMETHING GREATER, AS SHE STEPPED ONTO THE ROAD DESTINED FOR THE CHOSEN OF HYDAELYN.
