N'yumi Nunh

A former tribal Nunh who moved to Ul'dah to start a new life, got wrapped up with the wrong sort of folks, and was left with a terrible curse.

She currently works as a manager for the Fiery Nut Tavern but still has a nasty habit of getting herself into trouble.

N'yumi was born a member of the Aldgoat tribe. From a young age she was trained in the ways of the axe by her elders and learned to fight and hunt for the tribe, soon earning a reputation as a fierce fighter and someone the tribe could rely on in combat. While on the surface Yumi seemed to have everything well in hand, she found herself struggling with her identity and the social norms thrust upon.

As she entered her twenties, her friends urged her to challenge one of the elder nunhs and take her place near the top of the tribe. She resisted at first, claiming she had other things on her mind or her role as a hunter was more important, but soon ran out of excuses. The pressures began to build and folks in her tribe began to question her sexuality, her virility, and her mental fortitude, so she issued her challenge and won.

Being recognized as a leader and a breeder, the young woman began to numb the pain and ignore her feelings by dipping into the carnal pleasures. Every night was a new woman and a new bottle of spirits. She drank and fucked her way through her twenties, hoping her feelings about her gender would be numbed and subside. "Was just a phase, every kid must have these thoughts." It wasn't though, and as she approached her thirties she knew she'd have to deal with it sooner or later.

It took one of her friends, a Tia of the tribe coming out to her, for it to finally click in her brain. She confessed she'd also questioned her gender and wished she'd have been born a woman. The two shared an evening and the next day came out together. At first it was simply awkward with the other tribes-folk but soon became hostile as Yumi was being worn down emotionally and physically.

Late one night the two trans women decided leave their miserable tribe behind and flee to Eorzea.
