Y'vera was born and raised outside of Aleport in La Noscea. Born to two miqo'te parents that lived in a small, cozy home on a farm, Y'vera was raised predominantly by her mother in the ways of living with nature. Alchemy, Herbalism, and an education full of nature were practically drilled into her head as a girl. The oldest of two children, she wanted to grow up to be a good example for her younger sister. She did her basic and primary schooling in a small school house in Aleport. As a result she grew up around pirates, sailors, and farmers.
When she turned 18, Y'vera put most of the gil she'd earned while working on the farm to good work and left to go to Ul'dah. There she became a student of the alchemist's guild and the thaumaturge's guild. Y'vera split her time between both, learning magic and alchemy while she stayed in a small shared apartment with a friend of hers.
Once her education with the guilds was completed, Y'vera became an independent alchemist. Her work kept her primarily in the refugee camps outside of the city walls, helping the sick and needy from all over that came to hopefully seek a better life in Ul'dah. It was there she met a friend of hers that eventually helped lead her into the next chapter of her life. Before Y'vera knew it, she was packing up her things and moving into an estate in Ishgard to keep an eye on a nobleman who was involved in shady dealings.
With that said, Y'vera eventually got sucked into the shady lifestyle of the nobleman whose House primarily dealt in voidsent. Not only did Y'vera partake in the hunting of voidsent, but she learned how to study and learn about them as well. The occult had become a regular part of her life at that point. Her experience and studies in thaumaturgy came in handy there, where she excelled and eventually worked her way up to becoming Head Alchemist and Steward of the House. Y'vera engaged in politicking throughout Ishgard, making allies and rivals during her short stint as Steward.
