background

At first glance, one may see Dane as a boring and ordinary woman. She'd prefer it that way, actually. As owner of La Ondina Aquarium and officer of the free company, Flourish, she has secured herself a good life surrounded by friends and her found family.

She'd rather you forget the fact that she's a semi-retired Fisher, though she's secretly grown fond of her various nicknames (and song verses written about her). But, that's the consequence of traveling the world under The Fisherman's Guild's payroll and owning an aquarium.

Dane's quick to mention she's adopted when prodded about family, but won't say why. As an infant, her birth parents left her in Gridania and she was raised, albeit poorly, by her adoptive family. She will mention, however, that she spent her entire childhood in the Shroud and surrounded herself with the books she's read, the trees she's climbed, and that miqo'te woman who soon became her best friend...

Outside of professional affairs, Dane enjoys performing, dancing, staying active, and reading. It was through finding her voice that she much preferred dancing and primarily focused on that aspect of performing. She continues to learn new styles, her favorites being various ballroom dancing such as the Eorzean-equivalents of the Viennese waltz and the Argentine tango. Though it provides enough exercise for most people, she also enjoys yoga to stay flexible and going on morning runs.
