Be it delving into a new profession, opening up a merchant stall, learning painting, or anything under the sun: she will put her all into it.

History
Born in Ul'dah, Chachamu had been used to picking up odd work since very young. Her mother, a conjurer chirugeon, made just barely enough gil to support the both of them. During the long hours her mother was away, Chachamu was constantly working selling flowers or doodles to any travelers and merchants on the Sapphire Avenue Exchange that would give her their time. With the little gil she'd gained, she'd often buy gifts for her mother after a long night at the clinic. As she grew a bit older, merchants at the exchange would end up hiring her for any small work they needed, be it gathering herbs, delivering receipts and orders, or eventually even travelling with them around Thanalan to help load carriages and be a conversation partner.She also learned conjury from her mother from a young age. She'd use her talents to help the merchants of Thanalan and eventually joining the Adventurer's Guild at 15 years old. After a few years of taking on leves with members of the guild, helping her mother at the clinic, and continuing to take on odd jobs, she would travel to Gridania to both further her knowledge of conjury and learn other trades.
seventh umbral calamity
At 19, she had found herself serving as a chirugeon's assistant at the far edge of Carteneau during the Battle of Carteneau. She witnessed Bahamut arise from the shell of Dalamud firsthand. Most of the day is a blur to Chachamu, but the sight of the elder primal is seared into her mind. Afterwards, she made way back to Ul'dah as soon as possible to find her mother. The city was in ruins. She would learn that her mother was killed while directing hurt citizens to the clinic after the buildings began crumbling onto the street. For the next five years, she would travel across Eorzea to help her and her people rebuild. This would lead her to take on all sorts of trades in order to help anyone where she could.However, instead of having a straightforward philanthropic path, she found herself helping all sorts of types. From combat medic to tavern greeter, to brothel barmaid, to gardener, to covert assassin — her desires to help others were gradually less motivated by benevolence and more so by cold, hard gil.
present day
These days Chachamu is still an adventurer, though she seems to take things much less seriously after the rebuilding efforts have bore fruit. Her main focus now is to make coin, have fun, and enjoy the scenery. These days she runs a Chocobo Carriage Taxi service and has recently transformed her home into a cafe.
Trivia
Guardian deity is Nald'thal, overseer of transactions and the underworld and god of commerce.
The cane she uses for conjury was given to her by her mother before the Battle of Carteneau. It was her mother's most reliable cane.
Many small scars litter her body as remnants of her reckless early training and adventuring.
While her specialty is conjury and healing, she is somewhat proficient in most major weaponskills due to a mixture of learning from fellow adventurers and the many guilds in Eorzea.
Has attempted to join every major martial guild that she could find, from thaumaturgy to the machinist's. There was sometimes begging and bribing involved.
Always broke because she is constantly spending on without much thought. Often pays for other people's stuff as well on a whim, even if it costs most of what she has. "Gil exists to be spent!"
Recently turned her home into a nap cafe and started up a chocobo carriage taxi business.
Taken up painting and drawing as a hobby in recent years. Has begun selling portraits to people on the street.
About
23 | no preferred pronouns
Hi, I'm Chamu! I've been playing FFXIV on and off since 2013 and I'm a White Mage main! I'm pretty new to FFXIV RP and haven't done RPed proper since ARR, so please bear with my very janky writing. I look forward to learning!Outside of FFXIV, I'm a recent drawing and illustration grad that does commissions and occasionally streams on Twitch. I'm also big on D&D and am playing two campaigns right now! Feel free to message me about the game, art, D&D, or anything on Discord! (Chamu#0001)
OOC
I generally prefer RPing in-game with Discord being used for multi-paragraph RP.
The thoughts and views of my characters are not always reflective of me as the player. OOC and IC are separate and should be treated as such.
I am most experienced in and comfortable with casual and slice of life RP, but am open to trying out combat, dark drama, mystery, and other types of RP!
No ERP. We can talk about potential sexual relationships between characters, but I am not interested in writing erotic scenarios in detail.
