美和

Miwa Liu

💮
Born to servitude, bound by silence, and exchanged like coin — Miwa spent her youth in the steam and shadows of Doma Castle’s lower washrooms, scrubbing linen and stitching silk in silence. Once a servant, then a possession, now the unfit inheritor of a traitor’s ruined estate, she walks a path no one ever prepared her for — not just to survive, but to belong.The past may have written her beginning — but she holds the pen now. If you’re curious... perhaps you’ll be part of the pages she writes next.

💮Personality

Miwa may appear the picture of a yamato nadeshiko — soft-spoken, delicate, and beautiful in that quiet, traditional way — but the image is a mask she was never meant to wear. The small Xaela moves with grace because she was taught to, not because it comes naturally. She tries to be proper, quiet, and still — but the more anxious she becomes, the more that practiced composure begins to slip.She doesn’t speak unless spoken to. She sometimes bows too low, or holds the gesture too long, and often seems to brace for a punishment that never comes. Miwa doesn’t quite know what she wants — not yet — but she watches the sky like it might answer. Rain, grass, moonlight… the world beyond stone walls is still new to her.She is timid, polite, and deeply uncertain — but somewhere inside, a quiet spark flickers. And lately, when no one’s watching… she dares to shield it from the wind.

💮Stats.

Name: Miwa Himaa
Age: Estimated to be around 20
Height: 4'9.5"
Weight: 78 ponz
Skin color: Pale, porcelain-like skin, much like a doll.
Iris Color: Violet irises with iridescent lavender limbal rings.
Hair color: Black with a deep plum hue.
Birthplace: Doma
Preferences: Monogamous if it comes up, straight.
Features: Thin and willowy from a life of deprivation, with the kind of fragile beauty one handles carefully. Her skin is flawless, her scales well-tended — every detail polished with quiet diligence. There’s a softness to her form that hints at a body still healing, still learning what it means to thrive.
Places she's been: Miwa lived deep within the washroom halls of Doma Castle, rarely allowed beyond their steam-soaked walls. After being sold to a Garlean sympathizer, she became mistress of a manor she’d never seen the outside of. To this day, she’s never stepped beyond the capital.
Magical Affinity: Gentle conjury and budding geomancy, practiced with quiet care and growing wonder.
Official Role / Title: Now titled Lady of the estate — a position she was never meant to hold. She works to manage household affairs with the help of retainers, but remains woefully unprepared.
Hobbies: Miwa has a quiet passion for simple crafts — weaving silk, fine embroidery, and delicate tailoring bring her comfort. Lately, she’s taken to gardening with tender enthusiasm; though still new to it, she shows a natural touch. More than anything, she cherishes doing these things outdoors, beneath sun or moonlight. And when she’s able to, she bakes mooncakes — small, sweet and savory, and full of love.
Something Miwa truly enjoys: Before her marriage, Miwa had never been taught to read. Now that she’s being schooled by the staff, she delights in studying — especially books on healing, plants, and the natural world.
A couple personality traits: Reserved, timid, bashful, skittish, thoughtful, deeply curious.
Faults: Socially stunted from a life of servitude, Miwa struggles with decision-making and asserting herself. She’s unsure of her worth and relies heavily on external guidance — but she’s beginning to test her voice in small, uncertain ways.
Something they dislike: Crowds, greasy or oily foods, people too close to her face — and the thought of traveling to unfamiliar places.
Short term goal: To speak to someone — not as a servant, not as a lady — but simply and freely, without feeling like she’s failing at both.
Long term goal: To read over 100 novels, and one day walk into the market to purchase books for herself.

💮A little History

💮

No one knows whether Miwa was born into Doman servitude or brought there as a babe. What is known is that she spent her childhood hidden deep within the washroom halls beneath Doma Castle — a place reserved for the overlooked: the wounded, the unwanted, the women no longer useful… and the daughters not yet old enough to be taken — the sons too young for labor.There, under the eye of the scullery’s madam, Miwa was taught to mend silks, weave tapestries, mix dyes, and stitch the finery of those who would never know her name. It was a place both overlooked and protected — safe only in that it kept her from worse.When Doma fell, the madam fled with the girls under her care — saving who she could, scattering the rest. Miwa was sold, handed off under the guise of marriage to a Garlean sympathizer: an aging, feeble man hated by his own people and barely tolerated by the Empire. Kept as an amusing pet, he took out his shame and cruelty on those beneath him — including Miwa.He lived only a short while longer. Miwa remained — technically untouched, but far from unharmed.She was left in the manor that had been his: young, confused, and wholly unprepared. A household, its lands, and retainers that weren’t hers to command — and a title she hadn’t earned. The Domans despised the house and everything it represented. That hatred turned easily to her: a servant-turned-lady, and worse still, a Xaela. Unclean. A savage. A symbol of everything they loathed.Now called Lady of the estate, Miwa survives beneath the weight of expectation and memory. Her retainers steady her when she falters — but even they cannot shield her forever. She walks the halls of her prison-turned-home not with confidence, but with quiet persistence, unsure if she belongs… but trying all the same.The story she lived was never hers to write.

More to come!

Used the Lavabod before changing to the Krauter body, this body shape is no longer cannon. But the screenshots are pretty so I'd wanted to keep them. Enjoy, but if you're an artist know this body is not longer her cannon shape.

Current WIP

Screenshots of the home in question here. Please know it's a work in progress and currently unfinished. Meant to resemble a Chinese-style palace of a concubine.

❖ Arranged Possibilities
Without a husband or heir, Miwa cannot retain her estate. Whether it’s political necessity, predatory interest, or unexpected affection — a match must be made. But is she a bride… or a bargaining chip?❖ Tethered by Kindness
Miwa’s fragility draws the eye — but what begins as protection can quickly become possession. Those who linger too long may find themselves entangled in something softer… or far more dangerous.❖ A Quiet Magic
She’s begun to learn the healing arts — gentle conjury and budding geomancy — with slow, reverent care. But magic is rarely quiet for long. And her affinity may draw attention she isn't ready for.❖ Student of the World
Rain on her skin. Dirt under her nails. Pages full of plants and spells. Miwa is learning everything — slowly, hungrily, tenderly. She listens to stories like they’re priceless. Others traveled tales, healing lessons, names of trees — all of it captivates her.❖ A Name Worth Taking
There’s still wealth tied to her late husband’s name — and Miwa has inherited all of it. Some see opportunity. Some see inheritance. Others simply see a girl who shouldn’t be allowed to keep what isn’t rightfully hers.❖ A Living Reminder
She was once property — tied to a traitor, a house of cruelty, and a history soaked in blood. Those who suffered under her husband may see Miwa as his last remaining sin. Some want her punished. Some want her used. Some want her to serve as justice in his place.

💮

❖ A Story Yet to Be Written
Not every tale begins with a hook. Miwa’s life holds quiet spaces — places where something new can take root. Her story was built with paths in mind, but none are set in stone. If you bring a new thread to weave, she will bend. What comes next can be ours to decide.

Rumors:

Rumors

❖The Doll of Doma
They say she was bought and beaten, then dressed in silks like nothing happened. Some claim she still flinches at shadows — others say she’s the most dangerous thing left in that cursed estate.❖Unfit Lady
A slave turned noble? A Xaela, no less? She’s nothing but a placeholder — a pretty face who can’t read law, manage trade, or hold her own title. Not without a man to do it for her.❖Widow of a Traitor
Her husband was a Garlean lapdog — humiliated by the Empire, loathed by the Domans, and vile to everyone beneath him. She may have survived him, but she’ll never be free of his shadow.❖Wealth Beneath the Manor
Whispers say she sneaks off into the ruins beneath the estate. Some swear she’s found something hidden down there — stolen treasures, forbidden magic, or worse. No one knows the truth… but too many are curious.

OOC Info

Hello there! I've been roleplaying for nearly two decades — from tabletop campaigns to various games, and in FFXIV since Heavensward. I’ve always had a love for creative writing and am excited to see where the story might take us!Miwa is written with three narrative paths in mind — one grim, one bittersweet, and one that leans toward quiet independence. Each offers a different tone, and I’m happy to collaborate on what fits your character and our story best.I prefer in-game RP, but I’m open to writing via Discord in certain cases — such as scenes set in places that can’t be easily portrayed in-game, those involving a significant number of NPCs, or GM’d plotline events. In game presence is necessary though.While this character may be off the table for certain story types, feel free to reach out with ideas — I’m always open to plotting with other characters!

ERP Notice:
I don't mind erotic role-play so long as it makes sense. I don't wish to do so just for the sake of it, it's not fun for me. I also require that you are over the age of 21 years of age, and will ask for confirmation before going further.

Crimes info and writing preferences:
I do not speak about Mare, mods or anything against ToS in game directly. No matter what chat it's in. Please ask for my Discord if you wish to broach that topic. Yes, I do use mods. Not many, save maybe clothing or hair that in game items wouldn't represent well for my character.I am not interested in writing with male Viera. This is a personal preference, and non-negotiable. Same with not wanting to broach more modern themes, including Solution 9 or the likes. It is your choice to enjoy the game in your own way, and I'll not step in the way of that. Please don't trample over my wishes because yours differ. I also do not wish to do NSFW writing with females, Miqo'te or Lalafell. Outside of real life, I choose to keep my characters hetero/monogamous. No poly or open relationships. And last but not least, overly modded characters that don't look to be a part of this game or world, to include disproportionate characters. I prefer realism.
