Barely of age when the Garlean invasion of Ilsabard began, Nahala soon found herself swept up in the fiery resistance against the invaders. Leading a small, elite force of adventurers - a group of young adults who had been dreaming of glory long before the invasion began - Nahala and her team used guerilla warfare to cripple invading pushes into their land, successfully hindering the invasion for a time.

The Horror of Abalathia's SkullShortly before the fall of Ala Mhigo, Nahala and her team of heroes fought one last battle in the mountain pass referred to as Abalathia's Skull. In this battle, the young warriors were surprised and overwhelmed by an imperial force, unlike anything they had seen. Their mission had been exposed and they were ambushed and decimated in one fell swoop, leaving only Nahala barely clinging to life as she managed to flee the scene.In a bittersweet turn of events, this survival by Nahala was what led to her gaining the epithet, The Phoenix of Ala Mhigo.

Current EventsNahala now works to revitalize the resistance movement, focusing on training the few recruits she does have and teaching them to both decimate imperial troops - and how to stay alive while they do so. When the Scions first came to Rhalgr's Reach, she was out in the field, helping settlements and training her closest team members into a force strong enough to start causing the Empire problems.

Much like Nahala, A'kala was young when the Garlean invasion began. A student of Red Magic at the time, she fought side-by-side with the famous Crimson Duelists, until a massacre ultimately all but obliterated the faction.She was thought dead by the former leader of the Duelists, X'rhun Tia, though she managed to cauterize her own wounds with magic and drag herself to the nearest village over a malm away.For a time, she laid low, eventually finding her way out of the country and into Eorzea, where she would briefly sell her blade as a mercenary. When heading for Ul'Dah did not work out, as the city quickly closed its doors to refugees, she found her way to what would eventually become Little Ala Mhigo.Ten years later, she decided that enough was enough, and started working in earnest with the Ala Mhigan Resistance, starting first with smuggling supplies across the border before eventually finding her way to Nahala Bloodstone, The Phoenix of Ala Mhigo. Together, they began gathering recruits, learning the movements and structure of the Empire, and now work to personally train their fighters in order to chip away at the hold of the occupation.

Her parents like to say that Rhaya was born to fight, that she came out of the womb ready to throw hands with the nearest midwife. She is feisty and passionate and that feeling of righteous indignance would turn her into one of the biggest supporters of the Ala Mhigan resistance.Originally trained as a monk, she found a lot of catharsis in the discipline of the fighting style. However, when she eventually came into contact with A'kala Aziha, the duelist saw promise in her.The balance and control required to truly master red magic is something that Rhaya ended up immediately taking to, and A'kala took her on as an apprentice almost immediately. She has been one of the fastest studies that A'kala has seen.

Only 9 years old when the Garlean occupation first began, T'koda's mother and father did everything they could to protect him from the Empire. This would ultimately not last long, as his father was killed and his mother fatally wounded by Garlean troops not long after the invasion began, leaving him orphaned and alone in the world.His mother, having been an orphan herself and raised by a Miqo'te tribe, managed to deliver him safely to the tribe's encampment, though she would not survive much beyond that. With her dying breaths, she pleaded with the tribe to take in her son and raise him as their own - something that her friends in the tribe agreed to without hesitation.Despite his physical difference from the tribe, he was well-loved and raised to be a powerful fighter. With an intelligent, strategically gifted mind, T'koda has been making waves in the Ala Mhigan resistance since before he even came of age. For his parents who he doesn't remember, and for the people who raised him as their own, he fights to see the land he loves free from the influence of the occupation.

The youngest child of a powerful warlord in Hingashi, Kirika grew up extremely sheltered from the world.Sickly from a young age, her father forbade her from learning the blade like every other family member after losing her mother to a similar illness when she was young. Instead, Kiri was trained in magic and raised to become a diplomat, learning languages and politics instead of war strategies like her brother.Despite this, Kirika desperately wanted to be a samurai, so much so that her older brother taught her the basics in secret when they were children.Five years post-Calamity in Eorzea, Kirika began to be plagued with strange, almost prophetic nightmares. Unnerved by this, the Nanami clan elders ultimately decided that she should embark on a quest into Eorzea to discover the cause of these strange dreams.Once in Ul'Dah, Kirika found herself struggling to maintain her studies in magic, ultimately leaving the Thaumaturgists' Guild and joining the Arcanists' Guild in Limsa Lominsa instead. She found that the arcanist ways were easier for her to pick up, at least until Musosai discovered her in Ul'Dah and decided to train her as his apprentice - a veritable dream come true that saw Kirika changing from a shy, nervous young woman into the Hero of Eorzea that she would become known as.

Andromeda, Hythlodaeus, and Hades were friends long before Andromeda and Hades ever ended up on the Convocation. In their youth, they traveled together, learning and meeting people and getting into things together.Andromeda took the seat of Azem from Venat first - something she was so excited about when it happened. She was both a strong fighter and wickedly smart, a scholar with an interest in the undiscovered and the unknowns of the universe. She had a special interest in the stars and was one of the few scholars to know of the celestial aether and dynamis.Venat told Azem before the Final Days happened about what had occurred in Elpis - about the piece of her soul that came and warned her about the end of the world. It was because of this that Azem eventually left the convocation - and it was also because of this that she eventually told Hythlodaeus everything, sobbing in a heap on the floor one night. As her boyfriend, he was concerned, but he promised that they would get through this together, even though they both knew that this wasn't true.Her information about the future was what spurred him to give himself to Zodiark. She tried to talk him out of it, but she knew he was right when he told her that she would need him someday.The last conversation she ever had with Emet-Selch was a fight about Hythlodaeus - about why she didn't stop him and why wouldn't she just tell him because Emet knew she was holding something back and just tell me for the love of all that is good in this world. She couldn't, though, and eventually the world was sundered and she was gone.When the Ascians ruined the Thirteenth reflection, the shard of her soul on that star could not return to the cycle of reincarnation. It ended up back in the aetherial sea, where she ended up watching over her other pieces and also watching over Emet-Selch and Hythlodaeus. Sometimes she visited Emet in dreams, and was there when they both eventually found their way back to the aetherial sea, finally reunited after thousands and thousands of years.

As the eldest son of a warlord, Kazuya was raised to become the next head of the Nanami clan. His father is an esteemed admiral, their family known as the House of the Seven Seas, and thus Kazuya will someday take on the title himself.He was five years old when his mother gave birth to his baby sister, Kirika, and from the first moment he laid eyes on her, he was wrapped around her little finger. Protective and affectionate, he and his sister had a good relationship growing up, one that continues into adulthood.When Kirika was told to leave Hingashi for Eorzea due to seemingly prophetic dreams that she was having, Kazuya was the only member of the clan to protest. He yelled and argued and fought with the elders, but ultimately was unable to stop them from sending her away.Due to luck or happenstance or perhaps fate, a few weeks later he began experiencing similar dreams, such that he was spurred into following her to Eorzea, intent on tracking her down and protecting her.Needless to say, he was shocked when he found out that his little sister, small and terrified as she was when he last saw her, had become some sort god-killer of myth. He is proud to call her his sister though, and joins her team sometime shortly after A Realm Reborn.

C'firah grew up on the streets of Limsa Lominsa, an orphan fighting other street urchins for scraps of food and shelter. At age 10, she became the leader of a small band of children who helped each other survive, becoming something of a nuisance to the authorities of the city.Because of this, she had to learn to fight from a young age, though her preferred way of earning money aside from pick-pocketing was to busk by the docks. As she grew, she gained a small following of fans, her singing by the docks becoming so well-known that she became a sort of tourist attraction for the city.Her Echo abilities were something that were almost always a part of her, allowing her to sense her opponents' moves before they happen and allowing her to anticipate and counter every move. It was this ability which eventually brought her into contact with the Scions of the Seventh Dawn, which she joined only for the convenience of having well-connected acquaintances.She serves as one of the Scion contacts that keeps an ear to the ground, as she makes it her job to be up on the gossip and well-connected among the little people of Eorzea.She joined Kirika's travels in A Realm Reborn to help gather information, eventually becoming known as one of the Warriors of Light alongside Kirika.

Vanja grew up in the forests of Othard, living a relatively normal life until he reached adulthood. Always a curious child, he was constantly looking to learn new things and finding new things to read when he could. Sheltered though they were from the Imperial influence in the forests of the country, the threat remained in the back of everyone's minds, giving way to Vanja forming a special interest in aetheric research.Vanja left the forest at around age 24, shortly before the Calamity, coming to Eorzea in hopes of traveling to Sharlayan to take up study. While the Calamity would put a stop to this pretty quickly, they found their way to the Scions of the Seventh Dawn a few years later, and joined Y'shtola in her studies of the state of Eorzea's aether.After discovering that he had the gift of the Echo, he began to pour himself even more into his studies. As the primals became more of a problem, he joined Kirika in her quest to stop them and the encroaching Garlean forces.He has joined Cid Garlond's Ironworks, and his latest and most exciting invention are arrows with aetheric disruptors on the end of them.

Like many Duskwight, Indra is secretive about her past. She is loathe to speak of what it was that brought her away from her homeland, and is vague when answering questions of where exactly she came from. What she has shared is that there is nothing left for her in the place she left - the future is ahead of her, not behind.She came to Gridania 10 years ago, starving and weak but determined to make a new home for herself in the Twelveswood. She sought out the Seedseers and the Conjurer's Guild, eager to build on a connection to the elementals that she had apparently always had. Gifted with a blessing of magic far beyond what many had seen, she became a powerful mage quickly, soaring through her training until she was gifted the title of White Mage, despite being not of the Twelveswood originally.She was one of the healers working for the Adventurer's Guild when Vanja made their way to the city-state, and they struck up a fast friendship. She joined the Scions when Vanja did, offering up her healing powers as well as her connection to nature to help the Scions.As it turned out, the 'gift' she possessed was actually the Echo, something that a few of her other fellows had. She and those who also had the gift joined Kirika in the battle against Gaius van Baelsar, and she has stuck with Kirika and the Scions ever since.She had a brief crush on a certain Inspector Briardien at one point, but he didn't seem to even really notice her - something she seemed resigned to as they parted ways once more in Ishgard. Her self-esteem is far from what you might consider 'good', though since traveling to Gyr Abania and meeting a member of the resistance who seemed to take a shine to her, she's feeling... a bit better.
