Ylaziel Thel Al'Qamar

Background:

Ylaziel Thel Al’Qamar was born to a Raen mother and a Duskwight father. Her father, a samurai of lowborn wanderer and Akiko, daughter of a royal guard clan. Their relationship was not approved by many but they fought against the odds. Akiko married Yukikatsu due time and as the years passed the man proved himself and joined the royal guard on his lover’s side. Their love came into fruition in the form of a small girl. Unfortunately for them, a commission for an important business trip called that meant years abroad, so they set sail to the West, but pirates raided their ship…A Thavnairian noble bought the young half blood girl from the pirates, the small thing who merely seen a summer before she became a slave. She was a curiousity the noble couldn’t give up. A Raen with pearlescent scales and elezen ears. Her young years spent as a maid being shown no compassion or mercy. A few summers past she tripped on a wrinkled carpet and poured wine on an important guest, punished by nine lashes of a whip on her bare back. After she passed out, she was tossed into a cell, left for dead. Hassan, an assassin commissioned to kill the nobles, found the dying young girl after he finished his task, then took her to his hideout. After nursing her back to health he raised her as his own.The little girl was taking on daily tasks such us cleaning and cooking but later he introduced her to the ways of the assassin, shaping her into a swift, silent and agile weapon. The small half blood proved to be full of promise, her mentor was willing to involve her in advanced masteries, such as poison and immunity to them. He gave the little girl small doses of poison, forcing her system to build up immunity and giving her another weapon she can use, an arsenal of deadly brew. Next to her daily chores, she was forced to learn about treating wounds, as it was rare, but still occurring that Hassan came back injured, the only one to rely on as little as he wanted to, the young ashen girl.She kept his bandages fresh, made sure the wounds would be cleaned and treated properly, and feeding him with nutritious meals, assuring he would be back on his feet in no time… Though her mentor was a stubborn one, leading to arguments between the two, once exploding in one of the sparring exercises. Her mentor threw a dagger at her to avoid, but she just stood there, cold, unmoving, with piercing eyes, the blade cutting her hair and leaving a scar under her left eye. She was worried about the only parent figure she had in her life, and the injuries he accumulated over the years left marks on her mentor, making him slower, quicker to be out of breath as the years passed, though he refused to acknowledge them…Yla grew into a strong, talented young woman under Hassan’s care, becoming skilled in the wielding of various weaponry, stealth, acrobatics, the art of maps and observation, she was ready to take on her first mission.What ended in a horrible failure…The source of information was corrupt and they were lured into a trap, paying a great price… Her master saved her life again but cost him his own and died days later from the injuries he suffered. Ylaziel blames herself for his death to this day.The young woman has sworn vengeance and tracked down everyone connected to the betrayal that caused Hassan’s death, but soon she had to flee to Eorzea, taking up mercenary work and starting a new life with more trials, scars and adventures to become the woman she is today…

What a spy or an investigator would find about her:

-She usually hides her features (either or) as mixed races are looked down upon by the common folk.-Showed up in the Immortal Flames’ archives about 10 summers ago.-Visited the Quicksand for Leves pretty often, so has an adventurer status, though she hasn’t done any leves for them in the last 6 summers.-She has a good reputation as a dependable bodyguard/mercenary/scout for hire in all 3 city states, though not famous.-She has been in Aleport for a few months once (about 4 summers ago), found injured in an alleyway by a Yellow jacket, her case was recorded but the investigation never led anywhere and she never talked about the assailant (since the person was her assassination target and she killed him despite the injuries she suffered. He was a slave trader, still wanted after, most likely because his crew covered up his death and replaced him, who knows?) The Maelstrom have a log of her injuries: Several broken ribs, fractured wrist, concussion, serious blunt trauma to her lower abdomen so if she would ever want children the chance of miscarriage is extremely high.-She is known in Ul'dah among the poor, the refugees and the homeless folk on the streets, helping them where she can in return they supply her with information.-She migh be known in a few taverns in the Shroud cause of a babbly merchant she saved once in a Coeurlclaw attack, taking an arrow for him (that’s the scar under her collarbone above her heart) and he was pretty enamored by the act. She was guarding his caravan en route to Gridania.-She has no criminal record in Eorzea, though if a spymaster/investigator reaches that far, she is wanted in Thavnair, a pretty high bounty on her head because she massacred a bunch of nobles and informants.
