| circumstances of birth |
|---|
| a'sora tia was born secretly to a'nuloh tia and a'lantaa lhuwa. he is currently unaware of his birth parents' names as his father perished in the calamity, and his mother died protecting toddler sora in a caravan accident. he was discovered by a traveling keeper named yaimil tyaka and her two children, yaimil'a and orumhi. all sora could remember was his own name, so he was never given the keeper name, yaimil'to. |
| adult life |
|---|
| a'sora grew increasingly withdrawn as he grew into his 20s. many bad experiences left him adverse to human contact, becoming easily agitated, if not outright violent when approached. sora has found that by wearing skirts, dresses, and other clothes typically considered "cute," as a means of expressing himself, and in the past few months he has mellowed out considerably. |
| growing up |
|---|
| being a seeker in a keeper clan, it was hard fitting in. as he grew older, he took to filing down his incisors to give them the appearance of fangs. he loved his family, though, and eventually became a wood wailer to protect them, thinking he could change the organization from the inside out. instead, he became increasingly jaded, which lead to him leaving gridania entirely and moving to ishgard and later limsa lominsa. |
| finding his clan |
|---|
| one day, at the drowning wench, a'sora was taking a break from his normal duties, and was helping baderon out in the tavern proper. suddenly, the bar was full of an entire cadre of antelopes, fresh off one of the fleet's ships. it's the first time he's ever met another of his birth clan, and he's immensely overwhelmed. but through trials and tribulations, and more egging-on than he's ever dealt with in his life, he's made himself a place in this family, and has found meaning in life working with his hands as a shipwright aboard the exodus. |
