"My background? Why do you want to know? What is your background?"

Biography

Una's origin story is quite fascinating. Found by a group of inquisitive Lalafells outside of Ul'dah as a baby, she was wrapped in a torn and weathered blanket with her name inscribed inside. Clutching the cloth together was a Dalmascan-style earring. Without hesitation, this small family of Lalafells welcomed Una into their fold, raising her as one of their own, embracing her as a Lesrekta.Growing up amidst the bustling streets of Ul'Dah, Una acquired a taste for gil and a knack for streetwise schemes. She also honed her skills in black magic, encouraged by her family's affiliation with the Thaumaturgy guild. However, recognizing the potential dangers of unbridled magic, she underwent rigorous schooling to master its control, enduring scars as reminders of her learning journey.Una's journey took a tragic turn during her schooling when a devastating accident resulted in the unintended death of her first love. Overwhelmed by grief and guilt, Una fled from her home, haunted by the memory of the incident. Seeking solace and purpose, she embarked on a path of a bounty hunter, using her newly gained powerful magic to fend off threats and evade her past.This traumatic event became a catalyst for Una's transformation, driving her to seek redemption and forge a new identity amidst the uncertainty of her circumstances. As she navigated the challenges of her newfound profession, she grappled with her inner demons, haunted by the consequences of her actions.Despite the weight of her past, Una's determination and resilience propelled her forward, shaping her into the formidable bounty hunter known throughout Eorzea. Each encounter tested her strength and resolve, but through it all, she remained steadfast in her pursuit of redemption and a chance at a brighter future.Una's tumultuous journey took another heartbreaking turn when she found love anew, only to endure a similar tragedy as before. The loss of her second lover shattered her, granting her even more potent magic but leaving her consumed by grief and plagued by instability in her aether. Physically weakened and emotionally fragile, Una returned home to Ul'Dah, bearing the weight of her failures as a burden upon her shoulders.Cast aside by her adoptive parents and considered a disgrace, Una found refuge in the shadows of the city's back alleys. It was there, amidst her solitude and despair, that she discovered an unexpected passion for weaving and sewing. Channeling her overwhelming aether into her craft, Una found fleeting moments of solace and tranquility, as if the rhythmic motions of her needle offered respite from her inner turmoil.As she honed her skills, Una's creations became imbued with a mysterious power, rumored to bring good fortune in love to those who wore them. Word of her talents spread like wildfire, first throughout Ul'Dah and then beyond, across oceans and continents. Una's reputation as a master weaver and matchmaker grew, her garments becoming sought-after treasures for those seeking love and companionship.Despite the acclaim her work received and the joy it brought to others, Una found the rumor of her creations' matchmaking abilities to be a bitter pill to swallow. Each whispered tale served as a painful reminder of her past failures and the tragic consequences of her unchecked powers. Swearing off love and harboring a deep resentment towards the constant reminders of her own suffering, Una grappled with the paradox of her craft bringing happiness to others while denying her own heart the same solace.Nevertheless, Una persisted in her craft, finding solace in the rhythmic motions of her needle and the creation of intricate designs. Despite the turmoil that raged within her, she poured her heart and soul into her work, offering a glimmer of hope to those who sought it, even as she herself remains ensnared in the shadows of her past.

Scars

While first starting out her journey in mastering the black magics that would ruin her. She as everyone does, encountered a bad attempt with a spell. Una always excelled in fire magic, so she thought summoning a rather potent and controlled explosion would be easy in theory. Plus the bet with a fellow student didn't allow her to second guess her decision. This poor planning would wind up giving her scars on the tips of her fingertips. What she assumed to be a right of passage. She wore these with pride despite the growing fear on her professor's faces. Una noticed only one side effect, some of her fingers couldn't feel the texture of items anymore.Her next scar would come onto her upper arm and elbow. A foolish attempt on her part to free her first love from their ice prison of death. Una finally felt shame with this scar, often hiding it with a ribbon or sleeves. She will show it if the need arises but will never smile at it. Una's mobility seemed restrained with this scar. While she could still stretch her arm fully, it came with a few grunts and pained expressions. Not like she cared, Una thought this was a curse of not being able to save him. A sign of her weakness.Una's final scar would come across her upper back and trickle down her right side to her lower back. This being the main cause to all of her pain. Another attempt to save one she loved while in a battle. They shouldn't have gone in alone. It wasn't part of the plan. Amidst her rage and desperate pleas to wake them she released all of the aether in her at once. She would awake with her scars on her body and begin a long journey just to speak again or smile.Una is unable to hide most of these scars despite her attempts if attempts are made. She lives with the constant reminder of her failures and feels their sting at every chance they can get to remind her.

Schooling

Una's schooling at the local thaumaturgy academy was a defining chapter in her life, shaped by both her remarkable abilities and the weight of her personal experiences. From a young age, she was immersed in the arcane arts, her adopted family's influence ensuring she started her education ahead of her peers. Despite her tender years, Una displayed an astonishing aptitude for magic, excelling in her studies with a natural ease that earned her praise and admiration from teachers and classmates alike. Her rapid mastery of techniques and spells became a source of pride for her family and a testament to her dedication and intellect. Yet, beneath the surface of her academic success lay a growing sense of unease, as Una grappled with the inherent dangers and responsibilities that came with wielding such power. This dichotomy between her brilliance in the classroom and the shadows of her past experiences would shape Una's journey as she ventured into the wider world beyond the confines of the academy.

Bounty Hunting

Una's transition into the world of bounty hunting wasn't just about survival—it was about mastering the art of the hunt. Drawing on her innate intelligence and streetwise cunning, Una honed her skills in tracking and outsmarting her targets with a finesse that set her apart from her peers. Rather than relying solely on brute force, Una became adept at luring her quarry into traps, using guile and deception to lead them unsuspectingly back to justice. Whether it was through cleverly laid snares or carefully orchestrated ruses, Una's methods often left her marks bewildered and outmaneuvered. Her ability to manipulate the terrain to her advantage, combined with her uncanny knack for reading her targets' intentions, made her a formidable adversary in the wilderness. And as she continued to refine her techniques, Una's reputation as a master tracker and trickster only grew, cementing her status as one of the most sought-after bounty hunters in the realm.

Heartbreak

Una's heart has been thrown through the ringer many a time. She keeps falling for those who clearly only want her for one thing. Sex. Because of this, she often refuses one night stands.Una despite helping many meet their soulmates, seems almost allergic to the idea of finding her own soulmate. Perhaps this is due to her watching her first love die horrifically, perhaps its due to the many bounty hunters who would leave her alone in the morning, perhaps it was the cold and dizzy nights spent at clubs only to be left even lonelier in the morning. Or simply perhaps she has lost hope in love for herself. Una does not know if her heart will ever find love. Nor does she know if love is even meant for her.

una's love magic

Perhaps it was by a cruel joke from her god that Una is able to use her aether to infuse whatever she crafts with love. This ability once found out has caused her to be nothing more than a spectacle to be held by those of noble titles, each rushing to have her craft their next outfit for their own selfish demands.However Una seems to be her main critique, constantly informing people that love magick is simply impossible, using her time in the thaumaturgy guild to enforce her opinions.Yet, even she has trouble explaining just why each person who comes to her looking for love and a clothing piece just so happens to find their soulmate. Perhaps her grief for her own life has crafted a new power of magick? Or perhaps it is just her own desire to find love infusing itself into the stitches, giving them power.Una can only think of it as a cruel joke or some divine punishment for her existing when she should probably have just died along with her birth parents.

Current Day

Una is a familiar sight in Ul'dah, often engrossed in the bustling trade of cloth and other materials essential for her next creative endeavor. Whether bartering with fellow artisans or seeking out specific items, she navigates the marketplace with practiced ease, her focus unwavering on her passion for crafting.However, Una's presence extends beyond the walls of Ul'dah, reluctantly venturing into Ishgard due to the majority of her clientele originating from there. Despite her reluctance, she acknowledges the necessity of maintaining connections in the city, albeit begrudgingly.Her days are consumed by the meticulous artistry of stitching and crafting, a labor of love that brings her both solace and purpose. Yet amidst her creative pursuits, Una finds companionship in her best friend Cellica. Together, they co-own two charming cafes where patrons can indulge in savory delights and warm camaraderie.As night falls, Una and Cellica's entrepreneurial spirit takes a different turn as they oversee an underground club. Here, amidst dimly lit halls and pulsating music, true warriors find their moment to shine, showcasing their skills and reveling in the camaraderie of fellow adventurers.Despite her seemingly solitary pursuits, Una's life is rich with the tales of others. With a keen ear and insatiable curiosity, she frequents taverns and bars, drawn to the tales of mercenaries and guards eager to share their adventures. Each story becomes fuel for Una's own dreams, inspiring her creative visions and igniting her imagination as she weaves together the threads of her own narrative.
