Lost Beginnings

Doku was originally born Deauveanne de Viefand, the only scion of House Viefand in Ishgard. Born to a world renowned goldsmith father and bard virtuoso mother, Doku wanted for nothing in her early childhood. However, due to greed and jealousy the happy family would not last. The young girl would lose her parents to poison and fire, with heretics spiriting her away the same night. Nothing would ever be the same again...and Doku would remember nothing except screams and flashes of white.

Precious Present

In present time, Doku is the proprietor of Poisoned Pestle and The Poison Grotto, as well as a professor at St. Endalim's Scholasticate...among other occupations. After being rescued by Temple Knights and becoming a ward of the Scholasticate, Doku studied in Ishgard for several years. This culminated in apprenticeships specializing in lutherie, archeterie, and alchemy. Initially, her apprentice years were spent abroad for the former two. However, a developed interest in local flora led to self-taught alchemy, soon leading her to seek formal training from a Sharlayan master. Doku now specializes in rare and experimental potions as well as runic inscriptions and enchantments, her expertise sought by many around the world. Things are certainly looking up these days...

Us, Ourself, and We

Due to unfortunate events, Doku fell ill which culminated in an aether explosion and a subsequent healing coma. While still largely herself, she has gained some new features and taken to referring to herself in plural--at least outside of Ishgard's prying eyes. Who exactly is "Edera"?

"It is odd for them to hear someone speak their name. After all, it was one long buried, deep in the recesses of Deau's memory. But Edera remembered. It had been Deau's biggest secret upon her capture from the heretics. Her own little rebellion. Before they broke her. And then Edera bloomed and protected it for both of them."
