❝ Though born in the underwater village of Sui-no-Sato as Mana Shiori, she would not remain in the village for more than three summers. Word of a foreign vessel being spotted came in from the Kojin, warning their au ra friends to exercise caution, as rumors of valuable artifacts going missing spread as well. What should have been a simple outing to gather fish for the village turned disastrous, however, as the 'merchants' came upon Hiroko and Mana. In a bid to save herself, she offered up her daughter, claiming herself to be too frail and having naught else of value. To her relief, it worked, and she was free to flee to the village, while her daughter was taken back to Eorzea.Though not the only au ra prisoner on the ship, most of the cargo was stolen artifacts from around Othard, and none obtained legally. The journey was long, and when finally they made landfall, the various 'goods,' people included, were separated and sent off to different places for auction. Mana herself ended up with a wealthy Ul'Dahn merchant, Bragi Anfeald. While too small to handle most duties on her own, one of Bragi's other servants, an older miqo'te woman, was responsible for teaching Aria her duties until she could do them on her own, cautioning her to stay in line as best she can. A hostile man, Bragi frequently took his anger out on the au ra, though being careful not to leave any lasting marks or signs of the abuse, as he was always fond of showing off the foreign goods he'd obtained to his friends, and a single scratch or visible scar would ruin their worth. What was the point in owning something visibly damaged?She would remain his slave for 13 summers before she would finally escape. It wasn't planned by any means, simply a mishap. In a fit of rage at a new arrival of merchandise having been misplaced before a business deal later that day, Bragi's hands wrapped around Mana's throat as he slammed her against a bookshelf, blaming her it.

On instinct, she grasped for a small flower vase as she struggled, she managed to smash it across his face and stagger him. His grip loosened, Mana was able to break free and run. She did not know where to go, only that she could not remain in Thanalan; nowhere was safe so long as Bragi remained there. No city or settlement or could be trusted; who was to say any person who saw her would not treat her the same?Spurred on by adrenaline alone, her legs carried her all the way across the desert and into the South Shroud, where she finally collapsed and was found by some Wood Wailers on duty nearby. Noting her injuries and the weakened state she was in, she was taken to the Druthers, the best place she could receive care and shelter from the dangers of the forest. Buscarron didn't ask questions, only seeing a girl in need of help, and gladly took her in. As she recovered, she learned a great deal from the man. He taught her kindness and compassion for others, regardless of their differences, and taught her how to use a lance to defend those in need when she showed a desire to defend those in need. He was also the one to help her come up with a new name, wanting her to have a fresh start and to not feel shackled by her past.Aria Terpsichore, for the delight and love she showed for the music of the bards that would stop by and entertain all present, happy to dance with them and share in their joy.Two years following Carteneau and the Calamity, Buscarron suggested Aria travel to Gridania proper and register with the adventurer's guild, seeing in her the desire to help her fellow man, and though she was hesitant to leave the only family she had known, she knew this was her calling. She would become and adventurer and wield her lance to protect those who could not protect themselves.

❝ Born to a wealthy merchant couple in Ul'dah, Bragi is no stranger to the seedier side of deals and going-ons in the city-state. He is a frequent client of the black market, often purchasing stolen and smuggled goods from all over the star. He has countless stolen royal heirlooms and priceless relics in his collection and makes a point to keep them on display for friends and clients who visit as a show of his wealth. The rarer and from farther away it is, the better. His favorite of his 'goods' that he's obtained was the au ra girl he'd purchased to do his bidding, as au ra were an incredibly rare sight in Eorzea. Of course, he keeps his black market dealings a secret from all, letting others believe he is a well-traveled and well connected man.Short-tempered and hostile, Bragi frequently took his anger out on her, though he was always careful to never leave lasting marks where they could not be easily covered. Why spend the money on something rare just to shatter it's worth? Not to mention any damage had the chance of spoiling the reputation he so carefully crafted to hide his dealings in the underground.He is still furious over the day she escaped, having smashed a flower vase into his face, leaving him with a prominent scar on his face in the process. Though he has not seen her since that day, and is unaware of her new name, he is determined to pay her back for her transgressions should they ever cross paths again. Bragi doesn't like losing what belongs to him, after all.
