-=== Pre-MSQ === 
 Born to the tribe of Tumet, Nomin was only referred to as 'okhin' or 'khüükhed' -- an indicator of a female child who bore no name. Like those before her, as is tradition of the Tumet, Nomin was tied to a sacred dawn pine and was made to free herself in order to prove herself worthy of the tribe and of a name. Over the course of several bells, Nomin eventually freed herself through the use of a crudely fashioned copper decoration that adorned her gutal. After freeing herself, she resolved to free those who had given up on the trial, something within her telling her that it was simply the right thing to do. Born to the tribe of Tumet, Nomin was only referred to as 'okhin' or 'khüükhed' -- an indicator of a female child who bore no name.

 Fresh off from her voyage from Kugane to Limsa Lominsa, Nomin's first priority was getting to know the lay of the land and its people. In Limsa Lominsa, she found many interesting things, though one that stood out to her above all: an advertisement within the Hawkers' Alley that spoke of learning the skills and art of carpentry at the Carpenters' Guild in Gridania. With this new goal of learning carpentry and working with wood to build new things, Nomin prepared for a trip to Gridania. During this trip, she became acquainted with two young elezen twins named Alphinaud and Alisaie. Fresh off from her voyage from Kugane to Limsa Lominsa, Nomin's first priority was getting to know the lay of the land and its people.

With this new goal of learning carpentry and working with wood to build new things, Nomin prepared for a trip to Gridania. During this trip, she became acquainted with two young elezen twins named Alphinaud and Alisaie.
  
 Though the twins spoke little to her, Nomin found herself making sure that they were at least well taken care of and watched over -- a certain protectiveness arising due to seeing how young they looked, and the fact that they were venturing alone. They went their separate ways, however, once they finally crossed the border of Thanalan and arrived in Gridania. As Nomin explored Gridania and was directed toward the Carline Canopy, she was often confused for an Adventurer. This seemed to have been in part due to the fact that she openly carried her weapons around with her and was very clearly not native to the land. Though the twins spoke little to her, Nomin found herself making sure that they were at least well taken care of and watched over -- a certain protectiveness arising due to seeing how young they looked, and the fact that they were venturing alone.

-Before Nomin could register with the Carpenters' Guild, she was urged to first register with one of either the Lancers', Conjurers', or Archers' Guilds by Mother Miounne. Nomin did as she was asked, opting for the Lancers' Guild and becoming acquainted with the guild master, Ywain Deepwell.+Before Nomin could register with the Carpenters' Guild, she was urged to first register with one of either the Lancers', Conjurers', or Archers' Guilds by Mother Miounne. Nomin did as she was asked, opting for the Lancers' Guild and becoming acquainted with the guild master, Ywain Deepwell. Though Nomin disagreed with some of the views on a surface level that Ywain posited, Nomin challenged his statements, earning what seemed to be a modicum of respect upon these first impressions of one another. So started her continued training in honing her art with the lance as she progressed and did a number of menial tasks about Gridania and the Black Shroud before Miounne gave her permission to seek out the Disciple of Hand and Land guilds within the city.
  
 +With Nomin's many deeds and merits that earned her the attention of Elder Seedseer Kan-E-Senna, she became an envoy of Gridania and was set to embark on a trip to the other city-states in order to bring Kan-E-Senna's letters to Merlwyb Boefhiswyn and Raubahn Aldynn. This allowed Nomin the chance to see more of Eorzea and what it had to offer in terms of people, cultures, and food -- which was all appreciated as much as seeing new vistas for herself. When she eventually returned to Gridania, Nomin made the acquaintance of a scholarly miqo'to who said she was from the island nation of Sharlayan, Lorha Keipah.

-=== Estinien Varlineau === +=== Family === 
 +<WRAP 100%> 
 +<tabbox Estinien Varlineau>
 Though romantically together and later married, both Nomin and Estinien had a very rocky start to what their relationship is now. Originally, Nomin had reluctantly agreed to help find and bring back Estinien more as a favor to Ywain and his positive relationship with Alberic more than as a favor to Ishgard and Alberic himself. Their initial meeting had not gone as planned, especially with Estinien giving Nomin barely any time to interject nor have a say within their brief encounter before the Eye of Nidhogg that he possessed reacted to her presence and caused him to leave just as quickly as he appeared. Though romantically together and later married, both Nomin and Estinien had a very rocky start to what their relationship is now.

Line 64: Line 95:
 With Alphinaud's help, he and Nomin pried the Eyes of Nidhogg from Estinien's person, earning scars along their hands and arms to show for it. As the three of them were made to recover, Estinien more than the other two, the steps to building a bridge of friendship between he and Nomin started with a simple expression of desire: "I hope we can become friends, Estinien. For Alphinaud's sake at the very least." With Alphinaud's help, he and Nomin pried the Eyes of Nidhogg from Estinien's person, earning scars along their hands and arms to show for it.

For Alphinaud's sake at the very least."
  
-=== Cyrielle Varlineau ===+Nomin was under the impression that she would never cross paths with Estinien again when she heard that he had escaped the care of the infirmary and its chirurgeons, and she was fine with that for the most part. During her venture back to the Azim Steppe with Orn Khai in tow, however, is when Nomin met with Estinien once more. This was something that surprised Nomin -- what surprised her more was how much more at ease he was, and how much easier it was to speak with him. During the time they were together after freeing Faunehm, Nomin and Estinien got to speak more at length with one another, effectively burying the hatchet that had remained between them.
  
-Also given the name 'Bayarmaa' as homage to Nomin's adoptive elder sister, Cyrielle is technically Nomin and Estinien's eldest as the first of the twins who were born.+They would not meet again until the battle at Ghimlyt Dark. Having spied a fallen Nomin, Estinien fended off what would have been a fatal blow from the visage of Zenos. Once Zenos departed, Estinien plucked Nomin from the battlefield, getting her to safety. In her delirium, she vaguely made out being carried by Estinien and having a discussion with her. Most of her memories were muddy, and she mostly remembers waking up in Ishgard under Aymeric's care. This is where she was told by Aymeric that Estinien was indeed the one who demanded her safety, and her memories started to solidify the events of the aftermath.
  
-=== Fleurette Varlineau ===+Left to contemplate this and her own feelings regarding the matter, Nomin did her best to brush it off. Only when Nomin was whisked away to the First did she dwell on the events further, thoughts of Estinien and her being with him plaguing her mind during her downtime. Having done her best to prevent these thoughts from interfering with her duty on the First, it was when she returned to the Source that Nomin felt her heart flutter when she saw Estinien once more. She was glad that she could see him again, having realized that he was perhaps one of the only people who could see and understand her -- what experiences she went through and had shape her. Following their reunion in Mor Dhona, the friendship that Nomin and Estinien nurtured began to slowly blossom into something a little deeper.
  
-Also given the name 'Chotan' as homage to one of Nomin's first friends on the Steppe, Fleurette is Nomin and Estinien's second born of the twins.+By the time preparation for traveling out to the edge of the universe had been set in motion, the night that Estinien approached Nomin the night before their voyage was the night that Nomin stopped him from leaving. Deciding that she could not allow him to slip through her fingers after realizing that she had fallen in love with him, Nomin confessed all her feelings to him. Though met with the question on if she was sure if she wanted to spend her life with him, Nomin declared 'yes,' sealing the start of their romantic relationship with one another.

-=== Bayarmaa of Sagahl ===+<tabbox Bayarmaa of Sagahl> 
 +One of the first people that Nomin attached to when she was brought into the Sagahl, Nomin enjoyed having an older sister figure in her life. Bayarmaa was also all too happy to have Nomin as a part of their family, and went out of her way to help teach Nomin a number of things to help get her prepared for her eventual growth into adulthood. Bayarmaa taught Nomin the overall ways of the Sagahl, informing her and showing her how the Sagahl cared for the land so that the land may provide its bounty for them in return. 
 + 
 +<tabbox Esenaij of Sagahl> 
 +Esenaij was the Sagahli merchant that Nomin first ran into when she entered into Reunion. Having been made to sit and wait at the stall with the promise of Azim strawberries to snack upon, Esenaij initially waited for Tumeti parents to come claim their child. However, with the mention of the Tumeti trial and Nomin's adamant insistence that she was there alone, Esenaij eventually relented. He resolved to bring Nomin somewhere safe where she could be cared for. This place was the Sagahl Iloh and within the ger where he and his sister, Bayarmaa, resided.
