Mor Dhonan Reprise - 1557-1562 6AE

She arrived to Mor Dhona by way of the frigid Coerthan Highlands -- whose Ishgardian nobility refused to hear her plea for refuge -- battered and bruised with a bum left shoulder but refusing the aid of Adventure Guild settlers. For a long while she existed on the outskirts and only approached to trade scavenged magitek for food. This desire for proper independence flourished into a strong love of botany and home cooking -- influenced, in part, by her past life . . .The one thing she couldn't make, however, was booze and she was becoming particularly fond of the stuff served by Revenant's Lounge, a bar in a large tent in Camp Revenant's Toll that wouldn't survive past the Cataclysm. Here she could be seen, often as she is seen today, recording a variety of plants into a small, leatherbound book; occasionally finding kinship in those seeking advice on foraging in the exotic lands around Silvertear Lake -- the seeds brought from near and far by Midgardsormr's brood made for an extremely diverse, and unstable, ecosystem.One day, whilst on her many walks about Silvertear Lake, the Garleans once more launched an incursion into Eorzea that Peach Gobbler, proving uncannily familiar with their tactics and gear, repulsed on the ground whilst dragons, called upon by Midgardsormr, fought in the skies. Eventually the dirigible Agrius was raining hellfire on the city itself and, despite their best efforts, required immediate evacuation. When Midgardsormr was rammed by the ship and exploded in a flash of cerulean light, many by the lake vanished in an instant -- turned to mere shadows by the raw force of it.Peach Gobbler, however was spared.

Gridanian Getaway - 1562 6AE-2 7UE

She is no dragon cultist by Ishgardian standards, but she attributes the emergency teleportation as an act of divine protection by Midgardsormr, or at least one of his countless brood. Either way, she found herself in Gridania with a now busted hip, broken sword, and a small journal -- replete with botanical diagrams of plants now extinct . . .Gridania was engulfed in an era of isolation, even by their standards, and were reluctant to accept anyone into their safe haven, much less her, but petitions came from the waves of refugees she did manage to escort to allow her refugee status. She would be enlisted into the Twin Adders, as many were in this time, and fight in defense of The Black Shroud if Garlemald continued its advances east.Fighting again really wasn't on the table, she was essentially a reservist who'd be called upon for some quartermaster position in an emergency, so she still had to find something to do and make money while doing it -- the Botanist's Guild was a natural fit. It was there she met Fufucha Fucha, a companion whom she treasures to this very day, and Grapple Pie -- the two adopting their punny stage names around this time.In the time between Silvertear and now, Louisoix of the Circle of Knowing would begin preaching by the waterfall, speaking on the gods and bringing tales of heroism from across Eorzea. What was most enticing, Peach Gobbler found, were the surprisingly personal stories he would share; he found heroism in the smallest act and saw reverance of the gods as a poweful glue that stuck even the disparate Eorzean city-states together -- a glue that would one day reform the [Alliance Name] and protect them all . . .. . . at Carteneau, the fighting was understandably intense. Everyone essentially acted as a massive distraction for Echo bound warriord to storm the White Raven and halt the approach of Dalamud. As history tells this failure would haunt the star for generations to come.

La Noscean Revolutionary - 2 7UE-12 7UE

She couldn't stay in Gridania. She had learned too much of how they function and served alongside too many dedicated and kind folk to accept the [Ruling Caste]'s isolation and xenophobia -- it reminded her all too much of her homeland. As such, she kissed her life goodbye and hopped on an airship headed west, hoping to land in La Noscea and make a real difference.Partnered with Grapple Pie and combining their vastly different backgrounds, they found the Limsa Lominsa Crafter's Union and manage to cut down a slice of La Noscean pie by working with non-pirates and peoples once deemed Beastfolk by the city-states.The Feast . . .Soft Retirement.Idyllshire.Tural Dealings.
