Now, her name is spoken with quiet reverence among traders and mercenaries alike—Noctra Vey, the Bat of the Leatherworker’s Guild, whose hands craft more than just leather, but relics of the untamed wilds, woven with history and purpose.

Every stitch, every reinforced plate, every piece of dyed leather carried the spirit of her people, a reminder that even in the ever-shifting tides of time, the echo of the night would endure.

Her clan had long since scattered, their traditions fading into obscurity, their way of life fading as the world around them changed. Noctra sought to preserve their legacy—not just in memory, but in her craft.

She roamed the lands, seeking the finest materials to shape into masterpieces, her workshop ever-changing as she followed the scent of adventure. But beneath her artisan’s ambition lay a deeper purpose.

As time passed, Noctra found herself drawn to the adventurer’s life, not for fame or fortune, but for the exotic hides and rare materials she could procure firsthand. From the slick hide of an eft to the pelt of a coeurl, each piece told a story.

Though the Gridanians regarded her bat-like features with curiosity or suspicion, her undeniable skill earned her a place among them. She wove her own heritage into her work, creating light yet durable armors designed for those who moved unseen in the night.

At 20, she set out for Gridania, drawn by the city’s famed artisans eager to refine her skills under master craftsmen. There, she apprenticed under a grizzled leatherworker who had once outfitted Wood Wailers and adventurers alike.

While others skinned for survival, she worked the leather with deft hands, shaping it into fine garments, armor, and accessories with an artisan’s touch. Her craft grew alongside her wanderlust, and soon, the wilds could no longer contain her ambition.

Growing up, Noctra embraced the dark as her ally. She navigated the dense, moonlit forests with ease, her keen ears catching the subtlest rustle of prey. But rather than hunting for food, her fascination lay in what came after—the transformation of hide into something new.

Unlike her kin, whose feline ancestry was apparent, Noctra was born with membranous ears, velvety like those of a bat, and a heightened sense of sound. Her people believed she was a gift from Menphina, the Lover—blessed with an affinity for the night and the quiet whispers of the wind.

Noctra Vey was born beneath the vast, starlit sky of the Dravanian Forelands, her first cries swallowed by the hush of the night. A child of the shadows, she belonged to a small, reclusive Miqo’te clan whose lineage bore traits reminiscent of the nocturnal hunters of the wilds.

She dreams of one day finding others like her, hoping to uncover the truth behind her polar bear-like lineage and the circumstances of her birth. Kali is a figure of strength, solitude, and icy resolve—a guardian of the cold, forged in frost and tempered by her unyielding love for the wilderness.

Her affinity for cold magic allows her to call upon the frigid winds to bolster her attacks or shield herself and others from harm. Kali now roams the Coerthan wilderness and beyond, seeking to preserve the beauty and balance of the frozen lands she calls home.

Her laughter, rare as it is, sounds like the rumble of distant thunder, warm and grounding amidst the cold. In addition to her martial prowess, Kali is an exceptional survivalist. She can hunt, fish, and craft from the land with remarkable skill, often using her talents to provide for those in need.

She has a soft spot for those who struggle to find their place, as she once did, and believes in the power of resilience against all odds. Despite her gruff demeanor, Kali has a playful side that comes out when she’s surrounded by those she trusts.

Despite her cold exterior and solitary tendencies, those who earned her trust found a steadfast and loyal ally. Kali is deeply connected to the teachings of Halone, though she views the Fury not as a deity of war but as a goddess of strength and perseverance.

As Coerthas became a battlefield in the Dragonsong War, Kali’s sense of duty expanded beyond her adoptive family. She ventured into Ishgard, where she used her knowledge of the wilderness to assist travelers, refugees, and soldiers lost in the snow.

Her polar bear traits granted her strength beyond her size, and her deep connection to the frigid lands made her an adept tracker and guardian. She became well-known among the hunters for her ability to traverse the most treacherous frozen terrain and fend off predators that threatened her clan.

Kali’s affinity for the cold became apparent early on—while others wrapped themselves in layers to stave off frostbite, she often ventured out with little more than light coverings, her thick fur insulating her from the bitter chill.
Kali grew into a fierce protector of the wilderness.

Though she was clearly not one of them, they took her in, believing her survival in such harsh conditions to be a blessing from the goddess Halone. The hunters raised her as one of their own, teaching her the ways of tracking, survival, and coexistence with nature.

Her eyes shimmer like frost-kissed steel, a reflection of her bond to the frozen wilds she calls home. As an infant, she was discovered by a wandering tribe of hunters who lived off the unforgiving land.

Born amidst the icy peaks of Coerthas, Kali Ayisi grew up far removed from traditional Miqo'te clans. Her unique lineage granted her polar bear-like traits—snow-white fur, thick and resilient to the biting cold, and rounded ears that curled slightly at the tips for warmth.
