Nanono Nano
Child born in the desert sands, refined in mountains cold and far eastern lands.
Who is Nanono?
Born to the daughter of a well-known figure in Ul'dah, Nanono is a best described as a little lady, despite her illegitimacy. She's travelled all over the star, from the far reaches of the Far East to places like Old Sharlayan and Ilsabard, and likes to collect cultural objects. Nanono is also a conjurer, though some might suspect this isn't her true job...
Her past, however, isn't as colorful or even really all the interesting at first glance- Nanono is an illegitimate child, and was thus raised far from Ul'dah on Vylbrand, in Cedarwood. She lived a life as a farm child, taken care of by the nanny who spirited her away from her spiteful family. She longed to enter Limsa Lominsa, but out of fear that she may be discovered, her nanny kept her away from the city until she reached eighteen summers, and was then allowed to make her own way in the world, travelling to Gridania.
Nanono entered Gridania to pursue magic, seeing it as a means of educating herself. She proved a solid magical prowess and a fierce determination to improve herself, one that eventually translated into a stand-off against an invading Ixali troop, protecting the Everschade with all her might. No one entirely knows what happened that day, but she was found surrounded by knocked out Ixali, still standing until she was given the prompt command to be at ease. At that moment, she collapsed, her duty complete like one who had come before her, in that very ravine...
One can usually find Nanono on Pearl Lane, talking with her friends and making new ones- despite her jovialness when she finds someone to talk to, she's not good at approaching people randomly if she doesn't know them already. She's a rather sweet girl, but can say some of the most brazen or bold things sometimes. Like a farm child, she has no filter, but she does have manners. She does, however, seem to know who to be polite to... and who she feels the need to gossip warn about. If you need to know about someone, Nano just might know them too... if you have good intentions, that is.

"You want to know more about me?"
If you're looking for a steady and adorable healer, Nanono is skilled in conjury and "conjury", and is willing to help out, ic and ooc.
Nanono has also taken on a gunblade as a secondary weapon, mostly for fun. She can often be seen wielding in Grindstone- maybe a fight is in order to test her skills, or she can talk your ear off about how she learned it.
Some might notice Nanono's collection of clothes, if they see her over a period of time. How does one girl afford all of that? And how does she manage to style it all? Or store it?!
Nanono has a very interesting eye color- pure, golden eyes are rare in Lalafell and tend to speak of a very specific heritage... who could she be related to? Perhaps those who work with the Syndicate will know at a glance.
Those who work with conjury in the Twelveswood may know Nanono's true job, far away from Ul'dah's nonstop drama. She definitely has a different demeanor dealing with it, much more serious. In fact...
... If you're injured, you better watch out- Nanono has a bad habit of jumping in to heal people, even if it has caused some incidents in the past, like throwing up. But even if her hapless patient is trying to push her away, Nanono gets serious when it comes to her job, and good luck trying to stop her.
Nanono has a tendency to take in 'strays', whether it's the injured bird she finds in the Shroud, the limping cat in Limsa, or the poor, stuttering boys in Ul'dah who catch her eye and grab her heart in a vice grip.
Perhaps a person had a passing meeting with Nanono when she visited the Far East or Old Sharlayan- though her memory is poor, Nanono tends to quickly remember things when brought up.
...Or maybe a Garlean refugee remembers when Nanono healed them on the battlefield, caring not which side or origin her hapless patient had.
OOC Info
Hello! I'm MsMaiko on pretty much every platform, I got terminal FFXIV brainrot in the fall of 2021. I blame that one Lalafell video and a lack of social skills at college.
(this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCUvx2BExZI&ab_channel=ROUROU)I wouldn't call myself a particularly experienced rper, I have issues starting rp so I'm always open for walk ups, I find it a bit easier than tells sometimes- I prefer spontaneity. I frequent Balmung's Pearl Lane and Gold Court.I play Nanono Nano as an adult, and I would prefer to be treated as one both ICly and OOCly. If you treat Lalafell like children, and believe they cannot have romantic interests, engage in adult scenarios, or make endless mean-spirited jokes about them, you are not obligated to interact with me or my character. I am a 21 year old adult. Do not treat me as a child either.
