Fjora Swiftmane
« Dawnbringer »

She/her · Rava Viera · Dragoon
48 years old (as of patch 6.5)Echo:
· Past/memory sight
· ability to understand languages
· greater aether reserve

Now called the Warrior of Light, Fjora originally hailed from Northern Golmore. She left her village in pursuit of something greater than living a sequestered life with rigid roles, eventually landing in the port city of Valnain. Clan Swiftmane took her in as a bodyguard for hire, and put her on assignments to protect traveling merchants, a task that suited her free spirit well.One day she was hired by none other than Cora's parents, then married and without child. She was travelling with them when their caravan was moored in Sakazuki during a particularly tempestuous storm, and there she met the newly born boy, linking their lives together forevermore.When the Arceneaux's covert work for the Resistance earned them the wrath of the Garleans, the Swiftmane Clan was caught in the crossfire and their house torched down. Her echo woke up amidst the fiery rubble of her home, a blessing amidst tragedy. The surviving Clan members scattered to the four winds, not wanting to deal with the increased Garlean scrutiny. Fjora, with burn scars and rage in her heart, spent the next seven years fighting Garlean occupation under Fran's watchful eye, until the Witch of Dalmasca routed her unit and summarily executed them.Vowing to avenge yet another loss, she followed Livia to Eorzea and eventually found her revenge, finding friends and family along the way, helping heal the wounds that had been scorched into her very soul. On her journey to liberate Doma, Fjora was reunited with Cora in the RUby Sea and the two had been nigh inseparable since then.She is an Uhlan, a heavy-infantry lancer whose skill is now augmented by her Dragoon training. Her echo lets her conserve far more aether than was common, and this enables her to perform combat feats beyond the norm.Currently she is married to Haurchefant, and they are going to Tural on a honeymoon.

He/him · Wildwood Elezen · bard
25 years old (as of patch 6.5)Echo:
· past/memory sight
· ability to project emotions
· ability to hear animal thoughts through touch

Born amidst a summer storm in the Ruby Sea to antique merchant parents, Cora had lived his life travelling the breadth of Othard, a fact that even now contributed to him feeling adrift with no permanent home to speak of.Fjora had always been a presence in his life, for more often than not she would accompany them across the continent on business trips. He much preferred her company over sitting prim and proper in trade meetings and so he had ever looked up to her as a guardian.After his parents' involvement with Anti-Garlean Resistance was uncovered and they were subsequently murdered, a fourteen year old Cora hid in Doma for a time with his governess Kotone until a loyalist found them. Kotone was subsequently handed in to the Garleans, while Cora had a far worse fate planned for him. This plan to traffick him in Kugane's black market, however, was foiled when the Ruby Sea unleashed its storm upon their ship and a wounded Cora was rescued by a sea snake auspice, called forth by his newly-awakened Echo. She deposited him safely on a beach whereupon he was found by none other than Tansui.For the next decade he stayed with the Confederacy, until he was reunited with Fjora when she called for aid to deal with the primal Susanoo. They had a tearful reunion in Onokoro, and in the wake of Doman liberation, Rasho released him from his oath.Cora is a skilled archer and a bard besides. His weapon of choice is a giant Hingan bow and his magic-imbued Sanshin.His great love is Seiryu of the Four Lords. They met under a fraught circumstance, before the ward of Koryu started to falter. The encounter was made infinitely more intense by Cora's second puberty. It left them both with scars, and an inexplicable feeling of yearning that neither of them were ready for. As penance, Seiryu left him his protection, and any ship Cora boards shall never sink in a storm. They eventually worked through their guilt and emotions, and decided to be a couple.
