Biography

Although she was born into a family of hunters, Rizu never showed any aptitude for the craft herself and was often left behind in the care of the botanist's guild during their long expeditions.Wiling away the hours in sunlit fields, she developed a natural curiosity for agriculture and often sat in the grass asking questions of the local botanists and drawing crude renderings of the plants that so fascinated her.Rizu grew to be a fixture of the guild, her questions often rewarded with bits of fresh fruit, vegetables, and herbs snuck into her satchel by guild members with a soft spot for the young miqo'te.Her insatiable curiosity went on to inspire Fufucha, the local guild master, to write her a personal letter of recommendation to the culinarian's guild in La Noscea where she would find her calling as an adult, and later meet her wife.She now lives in Shirogane with her wife, Breezy Callyn, and dreams of opening a restaurant of her own.

The Meowfia

It all started innocently enough. On a leisurely stroll through Kugane Rizu and her wife, Breezy Callyn, came across an unusual sight; a fat round calico was wedged between two fence boards. Moved by the creature's plight Rizu begged her wife to help her free him.They moved on, almost forgetting about the cat until they received a mysterious letter in the mail sometime during the following weeks. The unmarked parcel contained a single sheet of parchment, apologizing for burdening them with the feline's rescue, and inviting them to become caretaker's of their estate in exchange for looking after him in their absence. Unable to refuse such a generous offer, they moved into the house immediately and began restoring the house, making small repairs as needed to the space. It seemed the original owner had become too elderly to look after the property, and the neighbors who were looking after the cat had moved away, leaving no one to supervise him in their absence.Every so often another letter would appear, containing a simple errand and a set of instructions. Rizu didn't think much of it, content to help out any way she could in looking after their new home. At first she was worried about some of the locations she brought him to, empty warehouses, foggy shipping ports late in the evening. She comforted herself with the idea that perhaps whoever the animal was visiting kept unusual hours, or was too elderly to make house calls themselves. The rather rotund creature was in immaculate condition, so she was proud to continue driving him to what she assumed were veterinary and grooming appointments. Being trusted to look after his condition filled her with a certain sense of pride. Over time the requests became more frequent and she was entrusted with greater responsibilities. Despite their unusual circumstances she still hasn't quite put the pieces of this unique arrangement together, but perhaps someday she will.
