Quiet, slightly serious and soft spoken you'll often see her with a thoughtful if not tired look on her face nowadays. More often than not quietly observing those around her before speaking if at all. She tries to be polite, refined to a degree and pleasant to any that approach her. Her more lively aspects revealed depending on approach and comfort with those around her. But overall she is quick to try and be hospitable, helpful and supporting if she can be. This combined with how easily she can react to some things seem to make for some interesting times.
Tsuya was born into a wealthy, & well-connected merchant class family somewhere in a Yanxian mountain village, though whether she'd mention more beyond being from a mountain village is up for debate. Hers being an older family means her roots extend far, garden tended by her own and those sworn to service. Possibly having sworn in even yokai along the way or some may gossip. Her earliest days she recalls were under the forces of Garlean rule and thus her parents bared much of the burden while trying to raise their daughter. She'd gain a younger sibling along the way but she was to be the clear heir to the family's line and fortune. This'd mean a good education, etiquette, healing training, magic training and the beginnings of what some may know as Geomancy. Though she probably still needs a tutor & the suitor offers would eventually reasonably trickle in. All this fortune even amidst the harshest of times while doing her best to be of service to those she could. It was never entirely enough, some even thinking what she managed to do was still simply a rich girl trying to earn good marks. The young Raen's words convinced some, others entirely dismissed them. Her childhood friend trying to convince her to not let it all get to her. When the fighting ended, she emerged..seemingly fine.Around the age of 19 she'd decidedly try to travel, it'd have been probably half a year after the liberation. The goal being to learn but also acquire more resources for helping to rebuild alongside the Doman Enclave. And in recent years her family has started entering the court proper, much to Tsuya's dismay at times. Offers of marriage far more common, more hassle to squirm out of.[More found ICly.]
RP Hooks

In addition to the hooks below I am open to other ideas if you think of them! I will also likely be adding onto the list as she develops and I learn more. Please note that for first encounters & possibly even future ones she will not go to venues as I am shy, but am possibly open once I've rped with someone enough.Feel free to send a dm on discord or tell if you spot her in-game!
≻ Magic, Healing or Both: ≺ Tsuya has been trained in both magic and traditional healing. More recently she's also started trained aethersight. Regardless if you're needs healing or a potion that could be a hook. Or perhaps she or her family helped you in the past.≻ Alchemist: ≺ In tandem with her healing she's an alchemist. Not a master, and she'll never claim to be but she sells her wares and can try to make something upon request depending.≻ Raen: ≺ Given her appearance & accent she's very likely from the East. Still a strange sight to some. A familiar face to those from a similar background perhaps. If you know the Kanamori name this possible connection can be discussed, given they have a clinic in Yanxia/Doma & another smaller one in Hingashi and Kugane.≻ Travel Buddy: ≺ Looking for a healer to travel with you? Maybe looking to escort a less combat-inclined person? Just want someone to tag along on trips? Tsuya might fit the bill.
≻ Need a Horn? ≺ A stranger can often be a decent listener or person to talk with. Assumedly you're likely to never meet them again..but a one off can turn into more?≻ Work or Servant: ≺ Either you're one looking for work, perhaps sworn to her personally or through her parents or something similar. For work she'll likely offer simple tasks, maybe fighting beasts. Depends really.≻ Shop Owner: ≺ She's put up fliers for her shop & clinic. If she can give aide she will certainly try or research the methods for your character.≻ Teacher: ≺ She would like to be trained in Geomancy and Omnyouji skills. Or at the very least tips and tricks to keep herself alive..≻ Yokai: ≺ She might be willing to chat with them. Depends.≻ Various Connections: ≺ Connection from the past, be it a childhood friend, a servant, etc. Or perhaps someone wishing to contact her for her family's recent rising in court. This will need to be talked out of course.
Relationships
Her personal thoughts on those she has met. They are vague but true to her feelings, these usually get added after the second meeting. Those crossed out she has sadly lost contact with but recalls..

OOC Info

Hello there & thank you for reading Tsuya's carrd! With any luck maybe she can help your character out or they'd make good friends. She has yet to go through Dawntrail though I'm up to date with the story. (Updated as of 8/13/25)
❀ Mirror/Para poster. I try to post 3 or 4 sentences at least. I'd ask for the same if possible. The more you give the more I am likely to though I know not every post can be the same length. Sometimes short and sweet work best!❀ I will do both in-game and discord. Discord is for convenience and if I can't get into the game for whatever reason or wish to rp but don't feel like logging in or finishing a scene.❀ I do most themes save gore(some medical gore is fine), perma death, combat between player characters & severe mutilation. Combat between characters I will consider once I get to know you enough. For dark themes it depends on what exactly might be done/engaged with. If unsure please ask.❀ Romance, flirting and similar is just fine. I just ask for it to make sense and if mine blushes or something don't assume. Tsuya will act as makes sense, engage if it works but if something doesn't work out like you hoped, well you were warned. She's a slow burn on both romance & her backstory. Organic chemistry, and I won't guarantee anything. If you have questions, feel free to ask!❀ Shy and anxious I might seem reserved at first but shall open up and reach out more in time. Usually only do group rp if they come to me for some reason and as for venues I am really only comfortable if my character is an employee there. To those whom are the same or similar, I don't bite for the most part. I try to be chill.❀ If you see her around anywhere and are curious, send a tell! I'll try to respond as quickly as possible.❀ Moon codes can be exchanged. But you gotta ask or I might if we end up seeming like we'll rp long term. I will not force folks if they don't want to or rather this isn't needed to rp with me.
