Izayoi is a Raen Au Ra, shrouded in much mystery, originally hailing from the Ruby Sea. In her youth, Izayoi studied rigorously in preparation of leaving home and following in the footsteps of an ancestor of hers, applying analytical aetherological techniques and cryptography to the most obscure of aetherial phenomena, and where necessary, counter them. Although she colloquially refers to her specialisation as Curses, she openly professes the myriad causes for strange phenomena which are also within her purview.

She has lived many of her recent years travelling the world, as an almost anonymous figure aiding people with their troubles in exchange for coin to live by and the pride of the achievement. Recently however, she has fallen for a Viera named Mielikki Metsäläinen, marking a change in priorities and a greater willingness to engage in ordinary life.

== Apperance ==
Izayoi is a small Au Ra with thin, rounded horns that face backwards slowly siphoning into a rounded tip just before the back of her head. She has hair bleached blonde with vivid red roots at the top of her head. She chooses to style her hair with a central braid that starts at each horn and comes across the top of her head. She has reddish-brown eyes with pink-ish magenta limbral rings. She has a soft pale skin tone, with yellow undertones. She usually styles herself in eastern garb or studious attire, often choosing to accent it with gold dye. Her scales lay neatly at the edge of her face, with two diagonal scales coming from the top of her head to meet between her eyebrows. She has a slim but strong stature, while not at the peak of fitness, she remains strong and agile for her work.

== History ==
=== Early Life ===
Izayoi was born to a family of priests in the underwater hamlet of Sui-no-Sato. Though raised with the intentions of leading her to a life as a shrine priestess, Izayoi’s curiosity led to her to discovering journals and advanced treatises on aetherology and cryptography from a very young age, all penned by her late great grandmother, Kannon Ryoko-sha. Reading these exploits inspired the young Izayoi to study the methods and theories which assisted her ancestor in secret, knowing well that these were the writings of an outsider and a pariah.
=== Leaving Sui no Sato ===
Upon reaching 18 summers, Izayoi was well versed in aetherology theories and knowledge of ciphers, which she used to great effect in hiding her own studies, beyond those as a priestess. She left home abruptly, making use of the Blessing of the Kojin to brave the oceans until eventually arriving in Kugane. From there, she learned just how small her world had been, and quickly adapted to her newfound life and surroundings, adopting the pseudonym “Ryoko-sha” used by her great grandmother before her. At this time, she gained work through her only real skills of worth; her extensive knowledge of aetherology, and her analytical deductions of the frequent objects and maladies which she encountered beyond what she’d read of. Eventually, her work caught the attention of the Onishishu of the olde of Onokoro, wherein Izayoi was given an ultimatum; cease her activities, or put her skills to use for them in acquiring and locking away dangerous artefacts on their behalf. Given little choice, and even less reason to refuse, Izayoi took this new addition to her employment in stride, doing her work for individuals and the Onishishu both around Hingashi and Yanxia, and eventually further beyond, such as Nagxia and Thavnair, despite imperial occupation of Doma and Nagxia. Having travelled the world for 5 years, Izayoi’s departure from home coincided with Dalamud’s fall upon Eorzea. As such, she was never able to gaze upon the lesser moon’s red glow, despite it being her namesake.

== Personality & Motivations ==
While initially following the exploits of her great-grandmother’s journals, Izayoi’s close encounters with beings with perspectives close to immortal, Izayoi is driven by a desire to accomplish great deeds, in an effort to establish her own capabilities, and through those, prove the potential and greatness of even flawed mortal people. While she derives some satisfaction from the gratitude of those she assists, this is overshadowed by her ego; another impossible problem solved, another challenge overcome. Mia’s company has done much to temper this attitude however, as Izayoi has begun to consider her worthiness of Mia’s affections with her past mentality.

Gansetseg is a 30 year old Xaela, warrior. They were born in proximity to the Dawn Throne in the Azim Steppe to unknown parents and was taken in and raised by the Oronir tribe. Currently she finds herself tending to the maintenance of weaponry and armour aboard the Khartsgai airship, where she currently takes residence.

== Appearance ==
Gansetseg is a small but burly Xaela woman with dark skin and dark, greyish-blue hair. Her eyes are a bright red, framed with bright red limbal rings.
The scales along her cheeks and chin are fairly extensive, the former displaying a slight star-shaped spread. Her horns curl forwards and inwards, framing her face, and are decorated with small silver bands.

Despite her small frame (standing shy of 5 fulms), she is well-built and muscular, with a proportionally long and rounded tail for her size. She adorns herself with fur pelts and wool-like clothes made from the sheared fur of Golden Fleeces, usually accompanying some manner of lacquered breastplate.

== History ==
=== Early Life ===
Gansetseg was born to unknown Xaela parents in the Azim Steppe. Alerted by the presence of a nearby falling star, the seemingly-abandoned infant was discovered by Oronir scouts, and given the name Gansetseg (Steel Flower) from the shape of the nearby impact crater of the small, ferrous meteorite.

Raised as one of their own, Gansetseg showed skill with arms and an eagerness to prove herself despite her runtish build; growing up to not only excel with many weapons, but also rigorously honing her physique. At this time, she also developed an affinity with horses, which would further translate to Yols when she came of age.

=== Teenage Years ===
At age 17, Gansetseg participated in the rite of Bardaam's Mettle; to prove herself worthy of representing the Oronir tribe as a combatant in the Nadaam later that year. Overcoming the Trials set to her, Gansetseg recieved a vision during one of the trials, in which the statue representing the great spirit Bardam commanded, "Be not afraid of falling stars". At this time, Gansetseg witnessed a confusing vision of a sky aflame; and though shaken from the harrowing image, awoke to a newfound sense of openness and clarity. In the process of proving herself before Bardam and the watchful gaze of the people of the Steppe, she befriended a Yol, the directionally-challenged [NAME].

Shortly after demonstrating her mettle, Gansetseg discovered an affinity for manipulating fire aether, which she would incorporate into her fighting style, as well as physical augmentation; both seemingly derived from her great pride as a member of the Oronir tribe.

During the following Nadaam, she met and faced off against [[Hanako Inazuma]], who fought at the behest of the Mol at the time. This would become the first of a few clashes on that ceremonial battlefields over the years, with Gansetseg fighting for the Oronir, and Hanako's allegiances changing, with the two fighting alongside each other at least once.

=== Arriving in Eorzea ===
During the events of Shadowbringers, Gansetseg ventures to Eorzea, hearing tales of this land of bounty following its swift recovery after Calamity. She attempts to commandeer a vessel alongside her Yol; and while her violent attempts were unsuccessful, a mutual respect was met with the captain. Her troubles at sea did not end there, however; as the ship was struck by storm shy of Vylbrand; separating Gansetseg and her Yol from the ship and its crew, and more temporarily, Gansetseg and her Yol itself.

Gansetseg washed up on the beaches of The Mists, in the same ward as Her Embrace. During this time, Gansetseg took shelter in Her Embrace, while struggling with Eorzean customs and behaviour, and eventusally reuniting with her Yol. At this time, she was largely unaware that she was effectively speaking Eorzean, indicating that she possesses the ability known as The Echo.

Prior to the events of The Final Days, Gansetseg was summoned by Magnai, Khatun of the Oronir, to do battle on behalf of the warriors of the Azim Steppe as part of the Ilsebard contingent. During this time, she did battle not only with Tempered soldiers and Imperial remnants, but also with some of Mal Adamus' creations.

=== Following the Final Days ===
During a Nadaam, Gansetseg encouraged a young man of the Oronir to join in with the battle. The ceremony ended with an unprecedented no contest, leading to all deaths therein bereft of honour and purpose. Shouldering the blame for this teenager's participation in the bout, Gansetseg's relations within the Oronir became strained due to her feelings of guilt; culminating in self destructive behaviours, abandonment by her Yol, and eventual banishment from the tribe.

Subsequently, left without purpose or a place to belong, she was taken in by [[Saikhan Khartsgai| Saikhan]] and her tribe, the airship-borne Khartsgai tribe.

Following her rejection by the Oronir tribe, Gansetseg's ability to invoke fire magic and enhance herself aetherially has been stunted.

== Combat Discipline ==
=== Warmaster ===
Combining practice between bladed weapons and their scabbards, shields, spears and bows, Gansetseg has achieved a sense of unity between mundane disciplines of war; learning to make the best use of each of her weapons in a given situation, and to quickly ascertain the advantages and probable flaws of a weapon she hasn't seen before. Formerly, she further enhanced her strikes through aetherially enhancing her considerable trained strength, or through manifesting something similar to the Astral Fire state of Thaumaturges.
