""We're just kids! We aren't supposed to be heros." Thats what I used to tell myself. I guess thats when I stopped being a survivor and became a warrior instead."
―Yura Kha

Yura Kha is a young Au Ra Xaela Dragoon hailing from Ishgard. Yura was raised and by her single father, as her mother left when she was still a young child. Despite pleas from her friend and family, Yura allowed her curiosity to get the better of her, and elected to leave Ishgard in search of her mother. She was eventually taken in by the Scions of the Seventh Dawn. She is well meaning and dedicated, but young and very aggressive.

Profile

Appearance

Yura is a very short young woman, standing at only 4'8". Despite her short stature, the 17 year old can come off as very angry, and has a somewhat striking appearance due to her resting face looking so angry. She has extremely pale skin, set off especially by the dark scales that litter her body. Her horns are fairly straight and of a decent size. Her tail is very long, thin, spiked, and pointed. She is physically fit, and has more of a pear shaped body. She is generally seen wearing lighter suits of armor, but enjoys being in lighter linens when she can be.

Personality

Integrous - Dilligent - Compassionate - Observant - Blunt - Naieve - Touchy

Yura generally comes off as abrasive and callous. She tends to act in an extremely aggressive manner, and is usually the first one to throw a punch. However, despite appearing as an individual with no concern for others, Yura has a genuinely good heart about her. She grew into a hardened individual in order to survive the world around her after the loss of her mother and her choice to leave her home. In reality, Yura cares a great deal for the people around her, especially those close to her, and would never hesitate to put herself in danger in order to protect another. She is extremely determined individual and is diligent in all her duties, even if she really doesn't want to preform them. She is also extremely observant, being able to tune into the feelings of others and the environment around her. Perhaps one of the things that sticks out most about Yura is her integrity and dedication. Despite every challenge she has faced, Yura has never strayed from her chosen path, and has never fallen prey to possession or temptation. .

Story

Early Life

The only daughter of a Dragoon of Ishgaurd, Yura was a beloved child, despite her unfortunate circumstances. Yura was born to a loving father and many family friends, but never knew her mother, who had left home on a mssion while the girl as young and never returned. Yura had to grow up at a young age, as her father, while loving and doting on the girl, was often busy. She tasked herself with taking care of daily household chores, all while keeping up with her training. Thankfully, Yura was not always alone, as she had many family friend who had come to know the girl through her mother, a final gift of sorts, before her disappearance. She grew close to the twins Alphinaud and Alisaie in her childhood during visits with her father's family, but lost touch with them after they attended the Studium. Yura's most trusted friend came in the form of a young Elezen some ten years her senior, Vetelle. The daughter of dignitaries in Ishgaurd, and former associates of Yura's mother, Vetelle bonded quickly with the younger girl, and acted as a maternal figure in her life. Despite being grateful for all she had, Yura was still curious of the fate of her real mother, and her curiosity would not be sated until she found out what happened. So, leaving home with all the knowledge of combat her father had given her, and the knowledge gifted to her by Vetelle, Yura left home at the young age of 14 on her own personal quest to find her mother. Yura eventually ended up in Gridania, having come with intent to search for clues of her mother, while also taking the opportunity to join the lancer's guild to further her training.

It was evident from her first moments in the lancers guild that Yura was a degree of a prodigy, able to quickly and easily master even the most complicated maneuvers despite her young age. This raw talent soon caught the attention of the guildmaster, Ywain, who continued to monitor the girl’s progress. She was quick with her lance, but also quick to snap, and he feared the combination of the two, even for such a young girl. This fear was only forwarded when a mysterious lancer had come along to challenge the guild in a rather violent fashion. Yura had been returning from the middle of one of her missions when she encountered him in the guild hall, attempting to challenge the master. The lancer quickly turned on Yura, despite the Master’s pleas of her being but a novice and a secret concern that she may too retaliate in a way that would only end badly, but was surprised when, after Yura having stood her ground, both relented, the lancer choosing to withdraw. (WiP)

Yura’s life only continued to change, as one night she was faced with an enigmatic starshower. She was confuised at first, but brushed it off. It was not until she began to speak of others of it the following day did she realize there was something very wrong. None had seen it. Yura was confused, and her confusion was only furthered by the headaches and visions she began to have. She sought answers for her ailment, doing what studying she could before close near giving up. that was, at least until she had yet another dream, a vision. She saw people, chaos, and then a place. thanalan. She had never seen it, but she knew it. she knew where it was, she knew where she had to go to find answers. Yura began her travels towards Thanalan, seeking whatever knowledge of her afflictions she could find there. Eventually, she was led to the steps of the Waking sands, home of the Scions of the Seventh Dawn.

She wasn't sure who they were, or what good they could do her. Yet, something felt... right. She sought answers from them, regardless. Her instinct proved true, as the Scions described Yura's ailment as the Echo, and offered Yura a place in their ranks. Yura was skeptical at first about the idea. It all seemed superstitious to her, plus committing herself to these people would have prevented her from freely searching for her mother, wouldn't it? However, it only took one simple thing for Yura to be convinced to join: The opportunity to learn more about her mother. It is through the Scions that Yura was able to learn more about her mother and her mother's shared ability in using the Echo.

Yura was informed that her Mother had once been a Garlean agent, but fled the Empire after having come to discover her abilities with the Echo and fearing what would become of her. Weary and broken, Her mother surely should have died, but was saved by Yura's father. The two eventually fell in love, but Yura's mother was still fearful of her past. She never told her husband of her origins. Not long after Yura was born, her mother began to start fearing for her child's safety, never knowing when her past might have caught up with her. So once again, Yura's mother left. After leaving, Yura's mother eventually made her way to the now members of the Scions of the Seventh Dawn, the first people she had ever truely come clean with about her origins. She was welcomed amoung them, but didn't remain for long. Her past had finally begun to catch up with her, and Yura's mother was forced to return to the Garlean empire in order to protect the ones she cared for.

Final Fantasy XIV

After her recruitment, Yura spent a great deal of time in Camp Dragonhead, generally aiming to monitor any disturbances in the Highlands, watching for any supposed Imperial and Ascian activity. She was hesitant to have been in a position so close to Ishgard, but it was believed her position there would have made any possible contact a bit easier.

Dragoon start bs

However, Yura was called away from Dragonhead by Alphinaud after the attack on the Waking Sands. She joins him in seeking aid from the amnesiac Cid, and it there introduced to the Warrior of Light From there.

Yura accompanies the others in order to try and locate Cid's Airship due to her familiarity with Coerthas. after the Enterprise had been located, Yura elected to accompany the party to the Stone Vigilm offering what assistance that she could. after escaping from Lahabrea and Isgebind on the Enterprise, Yura elected to leave the party as they proceeded to the Howling Eye, claiming to have personal business. It was then that Yura met with long time associates J'thaqe and Fofofara, two men who had assisted Yura upon her arrival in Eorzea so long ago. Having run into trouble with some less than savory bandits, Yura was more than happy to assit in dispatching and retrieveing some stolen goods and supplies taken from local settlements. Yura once again reunites with Alphinaud, Cid, and the Warrior of Light in the Waking Sands, learning of the Ultima Weapon. She offers her assistance to the Warrior of light for whatever they may need, though a bit hesitantly so at first, still struggling with her place in the scions..

Yura assists the others in investigating Castrum Centri as the party heads to the Highlands. When it is confirmed that two Imperial Prisoners escaped an Imperial airship which had made an emergency landing. She assists in locating Biggs and Wedge, being familiar with the area. After both men had been safely recovered, Yura remained behind in the highlands for a time on her own business. Having been called back by Ser Alberic, the man who had trained Yura for some time during her station in the highlands and whom she had been assisting in tracking down a Rogue Dragoon by the name of Estinien who had stolen the Eye, a priceless Ishgarding relic, Yura was informed that Estinien has wished to initiate contact with Yura and Alberic. A name familiar to Yura, she was happy to set out to discover Estinien's intents, having once respected the man endlessly in her youth and known him as an aquaintence through Vetelle and Aymeric. He explained why he had stolen the eye, attempting to spare Ishgard from the wrath of the wyrm Nidhogg upon his return. Estinien explains his beliefs that Yura was to be chosen as the second Azure Dragoon and she was meant to assit him in slaying the ancient dragon, despite her young age, also appealing to her desire to protect her home. Yura denied any possibilities of any "great destiny" lying before her such as a title of Azure dragoon, but promised to consider his statements.

Yura continued her training for a while, attempting to think on what was said by Estinien while also being sent on final trials by Alberic. After hearing Alberic's tales of his own failure to defeat Nidhogg Yura is reaffirmed in her course of action. Estinien sends word that Nidhogg is about to make a move and requests a rendezvous at Steel Vigil. There, he turned his spear towards his former master, and revealed that the Eye told him the truth of Ser Alberic's actions twenty years ago, and that he kept the loss of the Eye from the archbishop. Denouncing him as a coward, Estinien declared his intent to slay Alberic and then take out the Great Wyrm himself. As Ser Alberic earned that his emotions leave him dangerously vulnerable to the dragon's influence, Yura was forced to take up arms in his defense. After a vicious battle, Yura had finally come to nearly defeat Estinien, however, the voice of Nidhogg began to offer power. As Estinient reached out to receive it, Yura was suddenly consumed in light, having awakened the power of the first Azure Dragoon, which manifested in the original Drachen Mail of the first Azure Dragoon. A blinding flash occured before he and the wyrmking's aura vanished.

After this incident, Yura had a hard time continuing to deny her own potential, as it was clear that she was special in some way. It had come to reafirm her, in a way, having felt like nothing more than a burden for a long time. With Nidhogg's aura fading and the dragons quieting down, Ser Alberic hopes that Estinien is still out there.

Having finished settling her own business, Yura rejoined the others in preperation for breaking into Castrum Centri, feeling a bit more reassured of her place within the Scions. Yura acts as a distractive force as the WoL manages to break the remaining captive Scions free. She managed to rendevue just in time to come to see that Thancred had become posessed by Lahabrea, and managed to flea alongside her cohorts. After consorting with the Alliance leaders, Yura assisits in Operation Archon, being part of the team that managed to take down Nero, Livia, and Rihtahtyn alongside the WoL. Eventually, she also assists in taking down Gaius himself alongside the ever feared Ultima weapon, as well as Lahabrea. After the Garleans and the Ascian had been successfully been driven back, Yura is among the many to happily witness A mutual respect among the Grand Companies, and whitness the coming of the Seventh Astral Age.

Yura arrived with the Warrior of Light, Alphinaud and Tataru in Ishgard, but very hesitantly so. She was welcomed by Count Edmont de Fortemps along with the others, but refused to linger long.

She accompanied the Warrior and observed their trial by combat, relieved to see everyone come out safe. (WiP)
