In many ways, Risha Viras has experienced both. Leaving Golmore Jungle and entering civilization has brought the numerous highs and lows that come with being an outsider who steps into a completely foreign world. Yet she despite any regrets? She would not change a thing.
Her curiosity is what fuels her forward as a relic hunter and explorer. Allowing her to see new cultures, make new connections… and generally get into all manner of mischief.
Currently, after a few years of misguided attempts to assimilate into Eorzean culture (or her misunderstanding of it), she's struck out on a new path. Exploring the “New World” while working to find a new path. Recognizing that she's no longer the wild jungle girl, but she's not an Eorzean “street kid” either.
While she figures that out?
She's working on enjoying life again (and consuming countless tacos).
