Name: Mika
Species: Sun-Venia
Home: Dining District of the Neutral Zone. She owns a cozy tea-house there.
Virtue Alignment: True Neutral
Personality: Optimistic, pleasant, and does things at her own pace. She's also a pacifist and something of a pushover. She's not very reliable if you're looking for someone to have your back but her humble and breezy nature makes her easy to talk to and have a cup of tea with. She tries her best to avoid causing any trouble even if trouble always finds her.
History: The timid and courteous owner of a small tea house. Although she has a very unassuming and mousy air about her, in reality, Mika was a legendary Sun-Venia who fought in the war against Devoras 55 years ago before the treaty took place. Her original name was "Amatsu-Mikaboshi", the August Star of Heaven, a well-known name in the Venia community and even amongst some Devoras. After a war operation that took a wrong turn, she lost several of her comrades and wordlessly left the military, wandering the slums of the Neutral Zone as a mercenary for years. It was only in the past year or so that she met Nazaire and through his resources, she started her life as a humble tea shop owner.
Other: She only serves three items on her teahouse menu: Tea, assorted tea cakes, and hot water. Tea is complimentary with an order of the tea cakes but water costs money. Others are not sure if this is a genius business practice or a very poor one (most likely the latter). While during the day, the tea house is well... a tea house, at night it becomes a fighting ring for warriors to gather (although against Mika's wishes). The tea house also provides two punch cards: one for cups of tea purchased in order to get a free tea cake, and the other for number of fights won in order to fight the legendary Amatsu-Mikaboshi. The latter was a business strategy implemented by Nazaire though not necessarily a strategy agreed upon by Mika.
