Background
- Rava Viera
- Young(ish)
- Professional Botanist, Crafter, and Time Waster
At First Glance
Babbit may often appear reserved and quiet, but her mind is a constant chaotic whirlwind of ideas. Inquisitive and idealistic, she's always willing to help, and once she sets her mind on something, more often than not - and for better or worse - she sees it through. So watch out.The mischevious and sometimes perplexing Viera may often be seen with blue hair, though her natural color is a light brown.Her absent-mindedness can also often lead to her asking questions with obvious answers, or missing the forest for the trees...
History
Babbit remembers little of her early childhood, and if you were to ask her, she'd probably tell you, "Don't worry about it!"What we do know: Her parents left the Golmore Jungle years before she was born, for reasons she never had the opportunity to find out. For some time, they lived in a trade outpost near the port city of Valnain. But when it became clear the Garleans intended to invade, Babbit was sent, along with a few others, to become a refugee in the Thavnairian city of Radz-at-Han.In her time there, she developed a passion for dancing and performing, as well as trade. She carried these talents with her to Eorzea, where she eventually found herself a resident of Gridania and, somehow, member of the local Botanist Guild.While she never lived in the jungle with her sisters, she feels a constant longing to return home.
Hooks
Coffee Shop Viera - Babbit loves to venue hop, and enjoys flower shops and calm atmospheres. She also runs a library cafe of her own called Caps & Classics (currently under refurbishment), which also serves as the office of The Babbler, her one-Viera tabloid covering the strange stories and people she finds throughout Eorzea.
Remember to Forget - Babbit hardly remembers her time in Dalmasca under Garlean rule, but recalls just enough that she'll become particularly aloof if any conversation turns to politics or discussions of her old homeland.
Wanderer - For most of her time in Eorzea, Babbit's been a wanderer, traveling from place to place and never staying for too long. While she's recently settled down, the desire to keep exploring has never left her.
