The Madam

Umi Sabadachi

Hooks

"Everybody has a price, what's yours?"

Silent footsteps enter a room accompanied by a pair of jade orbs that sweep the room. A flicker of her eyes as an acknowledgment of your presence, if you were lucky there would be a subtle curl in the corners of her lips as a greeting. A stance poised and proper, a smile sweet as honey, and a voice smooth as silk if she spared you the thought. Suddenly eyes like a viper, they were cold and calculating as if measuring your worth, and as soon as they appeared, a pleasant and soft expression replaced the daggers in her eyes. Perhaps you were mistaken?

Information Broker

Everybody has their skeletons in the closet, but often times Umi is able to bring those bones to see the light of day. She goes by many names, the most prominent alias being Madam East. Acting as a central node within a web of whispers in the dark, few things escape her knowledge. Should you need a lead on a matter of your own, expect to bargain with an item of equal or greater value.

Art of the Deal

Traveling to and from Eorzea and the Far East, Umi makes frequent business trips to secure multiple trade opportunities. She is a master manipulator who tends to get her way one way or another. The greatest trait for any merchant is walking away with a deal where both parties are satisfied with the results.

Antisocial Butterfly

In the few brief respites she enjoys out of her cell of an office, Umi frequents higher class establishments to enjoy a drink and possibly some good company. Business has her frequent gatherings like balls or parties. Preferring to be a tree in a forest or face in a crowd, she is social, yet not overtly friendly. Should you put your best foot forward, she may consider sparing you a few words.

The Price is Right

The weight of a life is fleeting in Hydaelyn. The value of each life is rarely equal. People die and people grieve, and her checkered past is one that buries bodies more often than not. Gil can only achieve so much, who deserves to die, who deserves to live? Should the situation call for it, she is not adverse to playing god.

History

Gil can buy it all,
It can even fill the sea
Oh, but how empty

Childhood

A girl was born in the Sui-no-Sato where she lost her parents when she was seven from the Garlean occupation in the Far East. The others of the clan saw her as an outcast and a catalyst for conflict with the Garleans. Feeling unwelcome and alone she spent most of her time with the Blue Kojin where she would flee to frequently instead of an empty home. At the age of ten, she created her own self-imposed exile; she disassociated herself from the Sui-no-Sato and discarded her own birth name. She eventually took on the name Umi.

Adolscence

Without a roof or family to fill it she took for Kugane. Roaming the streets of the Kugane Dori or the Rakuza District, she often had a knack for trouble as a street urchin. A life of theft is what kept her band of sworn brothers, sister, and herself full. Gorging herself on familial bonds and Gil to fill the void in her heart, Beatings became uncommon or rare realizing she had a penchant for the art of theft. The abundance of gil and treasures began to increase alongside her hubris. Eventually she stole from a Garlean treasurey which resulted in her execution.

Adulthood

Granted the rare choice of serving her execution or conscription into Garlean service, she chose the latter. After years of training and deployments alongside Shinobi turncoats, she donned the mantle of an Imperial Shadow. Infiltration, espionage, and reconnaissance became a daily occurrence when stomping out the flames of rebellion in Othard. Her efforts were exemplary in dismantling the resistance; until she suddenly deserted. Hiding beneath the waves in Tamamizu she took on an honest trade as a merchant acting as an emissary or representative for the Blue Kojin's Ruby Sea Exports. Having expanded into the Eorzean market she acts as the head of the branch. Commonly referred to as Madam of the estate.
