Long post
The past: in summary.
The Steppe:
Mizuki was born on the Azim Steppe to the Arulaq tribe. She's the oldest of four. As per their tribes traditions, the eldest of the family would become a reaper to protect their tribe and guide their spirits when they died. Mizuki didn't want this. She skipped her training to explore the Steppe. Which got her into a lot of trouble.
She has a chance meeting with a dragon that spurs her desire to learn magick.
Eventually she is forced to partner with a great spirit (voidsent) and that year on her thirteenth summer. She takes part in the Nadaam and the influx of loud shouts/screams, fighting, sent Mizuki into a melt down and she unleashes a powerful spell that silences the Steppe and claims victory for her tribe: the only time they would.
An argument occurred with her father and he told her to get out. She is picked up by chance by Camélia a great sage who took her under her wing.
She meets Y'shtola during her 13-14th year (need to figure out how old she was during the Calamity) She is then taken to Sharlayan during the panic of the summoning of Bahamut.
The Sharlayan Years: 14/15? - 20/21? <due to change
Mizuki spends all of her years studying. She's very quiet and withdrawn during this time. Mizuki takes an interest in botany during a trip to Labyrinthos. Which links to her learning alchemy. If she couldn't learn the healing craft of her master, perhaps this would be just as good! She could help people this way. (it didn't help)
She joined the Studium choir, in hopes it would make Camélia proud.
Mizuki works herself into the ground: a lot. She is at the top of her classes and publishes several theses. One Camélia hates the most is: about how Mandragora can help keep the land healthy (will think of a good title)
another was: the origin of magick.
The early years of adventuring/ARR
Mizuki teams up with Cyneweard and Ghyslain two wildwood Elezen. They sought treasure and status. Mizuki was fresh out of Sharlayan and they thought having a renowned scholar of Sharlayan would help them. It did not. A few months in Cyneweard dies in a dungeon.
Mizuki gives up adventuring for now. Goes to Ul'dah and further studies at the thaumaturge guild and picks up Blue Magick which helps earn her some extra gil. She makes a name for herself within the guilds and a few years past she finds herself being swept up into the Scion business. Y'shtola is overjoyed to see her again.

Stubborn to a fault, this one. But then again, his guiding quote has always been
Remember you can't save everyone
Remember you have to try
It's why he started adventuring.
It's why he became a Dark Knight.
It's why he pushed ever onwards even if it felt like his feet would fail him at any moment.
Anyway, hi, I'm emotional about 7.5. Is anyone at all surprised? xD
I made a small 3 song playlist about it as well, enjoy.
(Fun fact, the second song is what I imagine Ki'to's singing voice to sound like)
Edit, because I'm thinking about the playlist, and I wanted to mention why the first song's in there. Because every time I hear it I think of this video, and that is the exact feeling I wanted to convey with it. Camaraderie in the face of adversity.
A gpose/landscape taken for @tearlunars' birthday. Copied Factory isn't my favorite of the three Nier raids, but it sure looks the prettiest.
Your prompt post actually reminded me that Drakengard exists in the Nier timeline. I don't know much about Nier, but the first Drakengard back in the 2000s changed my teenage brain chemistry ever so slightly. So while I wanted to show the splendor of Copied Factory's environment, I also wanted to include a piece of Angelus and her wisdom.
Happy birthday, Sophie. I hope today is a very happy one. I hope you'll have many happier days ahead, too.
