~ Born to the Azim Steppe's Qualli tribe, Koko's talent with music is almost as innate as her wanderlust.
Born to Khatun Temuge and his wife Chakha of the Qualli. Her father had recently achieved Khatun due to his inhuman ability to predict his opponent's movements and his overall prowess with a bow. Named Koko for her pretty blue hair.
When she was ten summers old, she witnessed a Midsummer meteor shower that left her with painful and infrequent visions into the past actions of others. Seems to have inherited her father's ability to predict her opponents.
Two years later, a small, one-sided skirmish with a hooded stranger left her with dreams of a bird singing in anguish in a land she's never seen before.
At fourteen she tries to convince her father to let her leave the steppe and explore the world. The promise of new songs and ways of fighting and hunting does not sway him.
At Seventeen, while trading for supplies in Reunion, a conversation with a stranger about lands across the sea caught her attention. Her and her father start butting heads.
At twenty, her father passed away. On his death bed he grants her permission to leaver the steppe during her 25th year, he gifts her his bow.
Her elder brother, Siban, takes his place as Khatun, after a week of combat between himself and other prospective leaders.
Witnesses the fall of Dalamud while out at night hunting. Afterwards, the pull to adventure grows drastically afterwards. She starts hearing please for help in her and seeing a beautiful large crystal in her dreams.
The singing from the anguished bird in her dreams get louder. Angrier even. Sometimes she wakes up with her ears ringing.
This continues until she reaches her 25th year, she leaves in the spring, using Gil earned by selling wares made in the Steppe to outsiders in Reunion to hitch rides on merchants vessels. Bremondt, a merchant heading into the Black Shroud, offers her a ride, she accepts after learning they have an archer's guild she can join.
~ Koko is a hardy, headstrong and inquisitive optimist who's accustomed to long days of travel and who believes that prophecies always hold meaning. She's emotive, and like most of the Qualli she attaches melodies to her words, and almost always talks with a sing-song tone. She's prideful, and has a stubborn streak. She doesn't take blows to her pride well.
~ However she is kind, and doesn't hold grudges, for too long anyway. She's a team player over all, empathetic and is a lot more sensitive than she lets on. She can be a bit of a romantic, but she also sees presenting her latest hunt as a romantic gesture. She can play a mean Morin Khuur.
