Once upon a time... before most of Eorzea's people knew of Tural, sailed a crew on a large ship named Celina. The crew got caught in a storm that raged and swirled them around off course to The Indigo Deep. They found salvation and warm welcomes in a honey-toned city of Tuliyollal. The ships captain Anto, who had made a small fortune plundering passing boats, was taken with the culture, sounds, lights, and most of all it's women. He was drawn to a lovely Shetona he has seen quite often roaming the streets with a basket in the crook of her arm. After a week of staying in the area and watching her as the ship was slowly repaired, she took the basket from her gently and let her arm loop through his to escort her wherever it was she was going. The pirate captain was smitten with the soft brunette Shetona, Ximena.
Soon the two were inseparable for the duration of his stay, learning she was a local baker and her mysterious basket just held flour, fruits, and sugar. Months that were meant to be weeks passed and Ximena found herself Anto's child growing inside her. As a seasoned father already this was nothing new for Anto, he tried to persuade her to leave with him back to Limsa to be cared for and looked after only for his offers to be met with rejection. Ximena would not uproot herself and remove her unborn babe from its rightful place by her side.

Anto begrudgingly accepted this and left for the seas once again. For some reason this soured his rosy look at his lover and he only cared for the being growing inside her now. Once a month he'd sail back to Tural to visit and check on Ximena and provide if she wanted for anything, but she always refused his help.
Magnolia was born on a bright starry night, her father was elated for another girl. Ximena apologized for her gender only for Anto to retort "Who needs another boy? Don't you think i'm proof of that?" Lifting his newest girl in the air as his little princess. Spoiled she'd be not just buy her father but her extended family of neighbors and friends of Ximena.
Magnolia grew up running around in the grassy yards and wooden steps of Tuliyollal and watching the horizon of the sea for her father's ship who she could never see often enough.As she grew she relishing every visit her father made with her five sisters, At her twelfth nameday Anto made a request of her mother, to let Magnolia come aboard and learn how to sail and the culture and mannerisms of other lands, how it could benefit her and make her into a well-rounded adult and to give her hand away to someone who could provide well beyond his own means to make Magnolia's life even richer than Anto ever could. Like last time, Ximena refused, breaking Magnolia's heart and sending her into a spiral of pleading and crying for two nights straight. On the last day of Anto's visit, the child pleaded with her sisters and together they planned to put the smaller-than-usual Shetona into a cargo box, the five girls carefully carrying it aboard.

Once she was found out, her tears were overflowing, wishing to only stay with her family on the seas. This melted Anto's heart and let the girl stay for a few days which turned into weeks. They sent word back to Ximena that Magnolia had stowed away and was safe and going home soon after she had her fill of the waves, which seemed to never come. With some coaxing Anto managed to talk the pre-teen into going back home to be with her mother, she was met with a cold welcome. Both ladies obviously hurt, Anto offered a to take Magnolia back to Limsa to live with her sisters, Ximena only nodded and spoke very little. Magnolia boarded the ship and would only come back to Tural a few times a year to visit friends and say a quick greet to her mother.
Though her life remains moreso in Eorzea, Tural still has a special place in her heart that could never be filled by any other place. Her sealegs, however, are strong and has learned to be quite the formidable sword-dancer from her sisters. Anto spoils her perhaps a bit more than his others, showing a bit of favoritism, and held a promise to himself to find a suitor for Magnolia as soon as he felt she was grown enough to take a husband, he'd find her the right one to marry and take care of her till the end of her days, and perhaps a bit self-serving as the man who he would choose to be the one would be rich in either coin, strength, or influence. But the Shetona had other ideas, seeing what an arranged marriage did to her other sister made her fear it, loathe it, deny it outright. Her heart would not be bought.

▍ ❝   HOOK ONE • FAMILY
Have you run into one of her sisters before and recognize the infamous last name of the youngest daughter? Perhaps you have worked under her eldest sister or even infatuated with one of her other siblings? Maybe you have you seen the brunette Shetona in her mothers panaderia making bread in the times she's spent in Tuliyollal visiting her birthplace?

▍ ❝   HOOK TWO • SUITORS
Turning down proposal after proposal from her father's never-ending line of men trying to win her over at a glance, maybe you were once one and was subjected to Magnolia's rejection at face value. Perhaps another chance meeting would let her get to know you more, maybe hear her offer of an apology and explain her situation and feelings. One the other side of that coin, perhaps she's been very taken with you and could give romance a chance between the two of you, a curious thing at heart, she'd want to know all about you and learn all your favorite things in life.

▍ ❝   HOOK THREE • THE SISTER
One sister in particular has gone missing, trails and whispers lead to Coerthas. Tales of a dark-haired Miqo'te taking up a greatsword and to help rebuild the city of Ishgard. But these are only tales she's heard, who knows if they are real, but maybe someone has heard or seen her and can offer that information to Magnolia to find her sister.

▍ ❝   HOOK FOUR • PIRATES
With her deep connection to many pirate lines of Limsa Lominsa, you may have had a run in with her father's crew or part of an allied crew. Maybe its the other side of the coin with a secret foe or sent by a rival to harm her to send a message to her father. Her crew is also rambunctious and leave some sort of damage behind, either in pride or possessions, they've known to also face off with other ship crews be it sea or sky pirates.

▍ ❝   HOOK FIVE • BONDED
Marriage is upon her with alliances and a large dowry on the mind of her father. Wealth and safety is to be guaranteed for the daughters under his care and would extend to his girl's husband, is your family interested in forming a bond for their son against his own will? They may find comradery together and with their heads together, they could escape this fate altogether.

▍ ❝   HOOK SIX • AETHER
It seems Magnolia has been blessed with an abundance of aether, sadly for her though she cannot seem to harness it in any shape or form. Those with even a tinge of aethersense will feel a sense of attraction to her for the magical bounty she possesses. Though still dangerous as some wish to covet and drain her of the energy in any possible way that seems to flow so plentiful within her.

▍ ❝   HOOK SEVEN • PISTOLS
Struck with the curse of unable to gather her aether into something physical, Magnolia has had to look into other means of self-defense and weaponry. Already trained in the shortsword, but not well enough to her liking, her ears have caught a bit of rumor that there's a group called the Machinists in Ishgard that have taken up arms with pistols. Though some aether is helpful with such skills, maybe she can finally be able to convert it through bullets? She'll be needing someone who has a large amount of knowledge of pistols to introduce her to the weapon.

▍ ❝   HOOK EIGHT • LOST HOUSE
On her father's side her blood is old nobility. But wanting to lead his own life away from the religious scheming and houses bickering with one another, her father took his small fortune and left Ishgard for La Noscea. She knows not of what has become of the rest of the members of his line, or if there are any left. Recently she spoke to someone in the clergy, a crooked Halonic priest who took advantage of her beauty and threatened her with imprisonment fro the crimes of her father. She is very wary of any Halone followers.
