Andromeda ‘Rommie’ Laruzedah nee Dulaque’s tale is a story of rags to riches. Starting as an orphan and petty thief in the Brume, she developed potent skills assessing what a person values and how to exploit those values. When she eventually left Ishgard, Rommie took all the skills of a con artist and dexterity of a thief and combined them into a career of courtesany. And she was truly gifted at that work.
As the Madame and owner of Thavnair-styled pillowhouse The Bandee Pakshee, Rommie has used the influence and prestige she’s generated to advocate for sex workers worldwide. But she also sees the role of a pillowhouse as more than a brothel -- it ought to be a holistic provider of pleasure and comfort. That ranges from comfort food to massage to sex for hire.
Rommie had no family of blood, to her knowledge, so she became a proponent of found families. First as a member of the Ishgardian street gang the Brume Rats and over time at her places of work beyond the Steps of Faith as well. So ingrained is the found family philosophy that when Rommie married her life’s great love Rheya Tayuun, they decided to start their own new ‘clan’, Laruzedah. Literally, Laruzedah is a combination of Ishgardian and Meracydian Miqo’te words to create ‘Daughters of the Street’, the most appropriate name two orphans could come up with.
Rommie is the owner of the Free Company Bandee Pakshee on Balmung.
