(original) world & history:
Pre-ARR
Athala grew up in one of the many poor labourers districts of the city of Ala Mhigo with her mother Eir. Athala's childhood was cut short at the age of five when Eir came down with a wasting disease resulting in Atha becoming one of the many orphans that filled the streets of the Ala Mhigan Quarter. Athala spent most of her childhood stealing and pickpocketing to get by as the grip of the Garlean Empire on Ala Mhigo tightened and resources become more scarce. This changed when Athala was sixteen when she finally managed to buy a place on one of the many smuggling runs through Baelsar's Wall and into the City-State of Gridania. As the group sneak past the wall during the chaos of the Calamity, they encounter a Garlean patrol, Athala kills some of the soldiers in the following fight and makes her way to Limsa Lominsa. Stopping at an inn en-route to Vylbrand and the City of Pirates she had an altercation with a male patron, beating him into the ground when he came onto her before leaving.
ARR and Heavensward
In the years since the Calamity, Athala found room and training with Limsa's Marauder's Guild running errands for the Guild in lieu of payment. the Guild Leader, noticing Atha's skill and rather explosive personality puts her forward to receive training in the art of the Warrior to stretch her skill and to help her control her temper in a more constructive manner. Being in possession of a Warrior Soul Stone allows Athala to venture further afield from Limsa Lominsa. One such errand takes Athala to The Holy See of Ishgard where she is wholly unprepared for the frigid weather of the north. Her lack of anything even approaching insulation catches the attention of the same man she encountered in the inn all those years ago, though it quickly becomes clear from his reactions to her that Aragibal does not remember their less than pleasant encounter. Unable to get rid of him, Atha and Ara begin to journey together. During their time in the north Atha eventually comes into the possession of Fenrir's whistle which allows her to summon the territorial ice wolf from the aether as a mount, this partnership leads to Atha and Ara discovering a pair of recently orphaned Miqo'te kittens in the Dravanian Hinterlands and the pair adopting the children.
Atha spends a number of months struggling to adjust to living in close proximity to Ara but eventually starts to open up to Ara and the two begin a relationship and they move in together. Living with Ara and the kittens helps Atha to start overcoming habits that she had developed as a street urchin, such as her hoarding tendencies and her defensive relationship with food and she starts to learn how to read and write from Ara alongside the kittens

Athala accompanies Aragibal and the kittens to Othard and finally gets to meet Ara's tribe once they've made it to the Azim Steppe. Atha struggled with living in such close proximity with strangers despite Ara vouching for them and her jealousy when she watches Ara interact with his sister and parents, something she has not been able to do since she was tiny. This is partially offset by watching Ara confront Magnai during the Naadam, until that point Ara had felt almost too perfect and his display of anger at Magnai makes Ara seem more real and Atha finds her walls lower further for the Au Ra. Atha finds herself softening further as the pair and the kittens remain with the Kha tribe who treat her as one of the family without seeming to want anything in return.
When Doma gains independence from Garlemald Ara and Atha settle down in Shirogane with the kittens and live quietly together until Monx arrives seeking Ara's assistance with taking down Kefka and Omega. Atha and Monx start to argue. Atha's fear for Ara feeding into her anger until she lashes out and fatally wounds Monx with her axe. Monx eventually gets raised but the incident causes Ara and Atha to split. Atha remains with the kittens and finally has to confront her inability to process her emotions in ways that don't result in anger. Once Ara returns to their house, Atha resolves to confront and overcome her emotional processing issues.
Shadowbringers
Atha and Ara continued on adventuring around caring for the kittens and during their time in Shirogane Atha starts taking instruction in the Samurai arts to learn how to centre herself and her emotions. Eventually, Ara and Atha receive a missive from the Warriors of Light and the Scions of the Seventh Dawn calling for their aid on the First. Knowing that they will have to journey to Mor Dona in order to get to the First, Ara and Atha plan to leave the kittens with Sioban and pack for a long journey ahead.
(CRAU) background: N/A
Abilities:
Atha's main focus is on her skills as a Warrior and has built up a fairly decent level of skill as a Samurai. She also retains her skills at pickpocketing from her youth and when pressed can utilise the basics of knife-fighting.
Outside of battle, Atha has skills as a shrewd haggler and has taken up a hobby as amateur fisher since coming to live in places where water and aquatic life are far more abundant than in Ala Mhigo. She is also a passably good weaver, a skill initially taught to her by her mother and one she has been teaching the kittens recently and as a result, Atha has started to develop a bit of an interest in fashion.
Personality:
Atha has struggled with her anger since she was young. Her upbringing, or lack of it to be more specific, stunted Atha's emotional development and so she struggles with how to deal with her emotions, often choosing the easy route in the past and defaulting to anger. Since entering a stable relationship Atha has been able to mature in a safe and supportive environment and so she is less prone to anger these days even if she is still somewhat less mature than others her age, something that can be clearly seen in how defensive she becomes over her relative lack of skill and experience in areas like reading and writing. Athala is inherently suspicious of those she doesn't know and it takes a very long time to earn her trust but once she does develop bonds of trust with someone she comes to care for them very deeply and becomes very protective of them.
Athala places her family before anything and will not hesitate to act if she feels like Ara or the kittens are threatened. She sometimes struggles with her fear of losing her family and being left alone once again, though this is something she is working on since the incident with Monx alongside her anger management. Atha puts on a tough exterior in front of others but in privacy is very soft with her family and loves to dote on the kittens.
She works very hard to avoid talking about her past but Atha is obvious in her distaste and disgust for both Garleans and Ala Mhigo which tends to highlight the fact that Atha doesn't mince words and seems to have very little issue telling people exactly what she thinks of them. Needless to say, censoring her language around the kittens was certainly a struggle at first.
Inventory:
This coat paired with a black tanktop, black trousers and black combat boots
This set of armour but paired with these vambraces
The lefthand outfit for Ara because he can't be trusted to pack his own casual clothes
The Warrior and Samurai job stones and their related weapons
A linkpearl
225,000 gil

A bone whistle that summons Fenrir from the Aether to act as a mount
A folded up piece of paper with a crudely drawn depiction of Ara (labelled Dad), Atha (labelled Mum) and two tiny Miqo'te holding their hands. There is a large crayon heart in one corner and a large smiling sun in the picture's sky
A small book containing a multitude of press flowers with a couple of letters also wedged in there for good measure
A couple of marine green glass beads
A silver band on her right ring finger
Which of the following would they most like to have in abundance: limitless good luck, the freedom to act without restraint, the ability to teach and to learn, or for everyone to just relax?
Limitless good luck
