Saran Goodswain, Archon and Scion of the Seventh Dawn, was a child of tragedy. Through blind luck (or perhaps divine intervention) she rose out of blood and snow to become one of Sharlayan's foremost experts on aetheric amplification.

Honey Relanah never wanted a life of adventure. Now known to the people of the Etheirys as the 'Warrior of Light,' she continues to play the role of reluctant hero, hoping that the time will soon come to pass the torch and live a simple life.

saran is, at her heart, an academic. she thrives on learning, researching, and sharing ideas with her peers. while confident in a leadership role, she finds collaboration more natural... that and she loves to talk. shar has a talent in engaging even the most introverted colleagues in conversation.what few realize is that shar's tendency toward activity and discussion is often driven by the desire to avoid introspection and personal reflection. the pain of her past lingers just beneath the surface, her bubbly and talkative exterior both a mask and a shield.

early life

Born on the southern reaches of the azim steppe, the first born child of atlan and davaa orl, sarantuya was born on a clear evening in the presence of a full moon. in honor of this, her name carries the meaning "bright moon." her family’s tribe was small but their community was a close one, nomadic by nature. while too young to understand what was happening at the time, saran traveled with her tribe out of their home continent of othard following the fall of doma to garlean occupation.memories of the journey west are blurred, but the first sight of the fertile lands of coerthas in northern eorzea is something saran will never forget. wide open fields of lush green grass, surrounded by beautiful snowcapped mountains. it was a new beginning, her people setting down roots and building a life in this new and strange place.life in their new home wasn’t meant to last, however, as the people of nearby ishgard were suspicious of these new, scaled wanderers on their lands. fearing the xaela and their dragon-like appearance were connected to their centuries old enemy, the ishgardians wiped the orl tribe out, saran and her younger cousin sidurgu the only survivors.

Found Family

following the slaughter of her family, saran and sidurgu were found and later separated, saran taken to the nearby sharlayan colony, alone and confused. it was there that she encountered evangeline and remy goodswain, an older couple doing geologic surveys for the forum. they had no children of their own and took her in, at first temporarily, but they developed a quick bond with the intelligent child and decided that saran should remain with them when they returned to their home in old sharlayan.it was quickly decided that saran would receive a full and thorough education, an experience which allowed the young girl to flourish. she took to learning like a fish to water and was among the top of her classes within her first years of study. her innate aetheric talents were obvious and she was given special training to foster her abilities, gaining the attention of the studium as she approached adulthood.as time past, saran grew to love her adoptive family and old sharlayan became 'home' to her. she never forgot her cousin, however, and always wondered where sidurgu might be and if he was safe.

archon

during her early teen years, saran first studied under louisoix leveilleur. he was impressed with her abilities and soon petitioned for her acceptance into the studium. there she focused her studies on aetheric amplification and manipulation. louisoix trained her himself in the sage arts and she had a natural aptitude toward healing and medicine.saran began a romance with long-time friend and fellow student of louisoix, thancred waters, during her early days at the studium. their romance was doomed from the start and quickly ended as thancred broke off the relationship. while heartbroken, saran found their friendship too important to abandon so they resolved to remain friends. it would be years before the pair would give their romance another chance.upon completion of her studies, saran was honored with the title of archon and became a member of the circle of knowing, a group founded by louisoix to intervene in the prophecy of the seventh umbral era. following louisoix's death and the formation of the scions of the seventh dawn, saran worked closely with her colleague y'shtola rhul in on the island of vylbrand, keeping a close eye on the primal threats to the city-state of limsa lominsa.

growing up with few friends and isolated from the wider world, honey is naturally soft spoken and tends to keep her thoughts to herself as a default. she internalizes her feelings as well, finding outward expressions of emotion very uncomfortable.she thinks rather literally and finds acts of subtly a challenge. honey chooses to lean on her friends in the scions when making big decisions as she feels very much like the role of "warrior of light" is something she is not well-suited for.

early life

Miah was raised in the South Shroud in a tightknit community. Before she reached maturity her skills attuning to the elemental energies around her were obvious and her mother became exceptionally protective of her for fear of her abilities reaching the ears of the Padjal in nearby Gridania.The result saw Miah never allowed to venture from home, often forced to remain inside with only books, music, and the elements to keep her company. This created a deep resentment toward her mother and strong desire to escape her home. She would often reach out to the trees and wind around her, communing with the elementals whose anger fueled her own.After years under the tight control of her mother, Miah eventually ran away with the help of her older sister, Masha, and the pair traveled together to Gridania. While told from a young age to fear the Padjal, perhaps out of bitterness, Miah immediately appealed to the Conjurer's Guild for entry and became a student of E-Sumi-Yan.It was then that Miah fully became 'Honey,' leaving her childhood behind and embracing a new future.

Scions of the seventh dawn

Honey had little interest in changing the world. She saw a future in Gridania; aiding the Conjurer's Guild, healing the sick, walking through the forest, filling her days with light and life. And, for a time, this was exactly what she did. She grew confident in her skills as a healer and made a home for herself at Stillglade Fane.But Fate, and the star, had a different plan for her. She knew nothing of the Primals, the great struggle between Zodiark and Hydaelyn, and looking back she likely wishes she'd never known. Meeting Scions Yda and Papalymo, just as her training under E-Sumi-Yan concluded, changed the course of her life and led her on an path she had no choice but to travel.Her early days as an adventurer were fraught. She didn't want to leave the Shroud behind but she also felt compelled to help those who could not help themselves. Day after day, mission after mission, Honey slowly became accustomed to life on the road. She leaned heavily on the Scions for guidance, growing particularly close to Tataru Taru, the Scion's receptionist and someone who never failed to make Honey laugh.

warrior of light

Following the attack on Castrum Meridianum and defeat of Gaius van Baelsar, Honey's role in the Scions was cemented and many looked to her at the Savior of Eorzea. While outwardly confident and accepting of this new position among the leaders and defenders of the city-states, internally Honey was frightened.Honey never wanted this. She missed her sisters, she wanted to go home. But that was selfish, wasn't it? Fate's pull to keep going, to walk this wanderer's path, kept her true to the expectations of those around her.In the months and years that followed, Honey experienced the highest of highs; lowest of lows; fell in love; felt the heights of grief... all in service to the Star. Her one great hope is that Fate's design will see her to rest one day, allowed to experience a simple life. But this hope is secret, a silence prayer she offers to the Twelve each night, knowing that it will likely never come true.
