The Pale Fox of the North
Y'narah Unox, born into a family of skilled carpenters in the frigid lands of Coerthas, led a life markedly different from the privileged nobility of Ishgard.. Her formative years were spent amidst the warmth of her family's workshop, where the constant hum of woodworking tools and the scent of freshly cut timber became the backdrop of her childhood.. Her pale skin and distinctive white hair made her stand out from her family, but her exceptional skill with her hands marked her early development in craftsmanship..
Despite her deep connection to woodworking, Y'narah felt an enduring sense of restlessness, a desire to seek a higher purpose beyond the confines of sawdust and shavings.. This longing for a new direction led her to the Foundation of Ishgard, where she began studying under a respected doctor known for their compassion and skill.. The elderly healer recognized Y'narah’s potential and took her on as an apprentice, imparting knowledge that bridged the gap between practical craftsmanship and the art of healing.. Her meticulous nature and manual dexterity made her an ideal pupil for learning surgical techniques, and she eagerly absorbed the lessons of medicine..
As Y'narah’s skills as a healer evolved, she became a notable figure in the medical community, distinguished by her unique appearance and her unwavering commitment to patient care.. To maintain a degree of anonymity and focus on her work, she frequently wore a cowl to conceal her white hair and a long coat to hide her tail, ensuring that her distinctive features did not detract from her professional demeanor..
At the age of 27, Y'narah sought to expand her expertise further by delving into aetherial magic, specifically as an apprentice Conjurer.. This study was intended to complement her surgical skills with the ancient art of aetherial healing.. However, due to unforeseen personal circumstances, Y'narah had to cut her studies short before she could advance significantly in the field of aetheric manipulation.. As a result, her skills in this area remained at the apprentice level, and she never progressed beyond this rank..
Despite this setback, Y'narah continued to build on her strengths as a healer..
By age 33, she had established herself as a formidable medical consultant, known for her ability to address a wide range of injuries and illnesses with a blend of surgical precision and basic aetherial knowledge.. Her dedication to her patients and her adaptability in handling various medical challenges solidified her reputation as a highly capable and respected figure in her field..
Now, Y’narah has taken her expertise eastward, to serve Kiba-Kai.. Despite the unfamiliar surroundings, she approaches her new responsibilities with the same cold, calculating efficiency she’s known for.. And though her work has shifted from the hospitals of Ishgard to the heart of a burgeoning syndicate, her exacting standards have not diminished in the slightest..
