A long time ago, a very long time ago.....maybe even a decade and a half ago...I played a game known as Final Fantasy XI: Online. There was one character that I was able to get to level 32, but after that? I quit the entire game, because I was tired of the requirement that you NEED to be in a party in order to get anywhere. I guess it is to be expected, as it was a Final Fantasy Game, and that's one thing that games like Final Fantasy run on. HOWEVER, just because I quit the game, that doesn't mean that my character could not exist otherwise....

This is Kew Slaslen, a mithra based on the MMORPG of Final Fantasy XI: Online. Kew even had a bit of a backstory: Kew, her sister, and her parents were a traveling group that entertained the people who came to their events. However, during a trip through one of the coastal areas of the map, they were ambushed by monsters, and Kew was separated from her sister, while the parents died in trying to protect the two young mithra. Kew managed to escape to one of the capitals of the world, and she was able to live on. Her sister never showed up, but Kew had a feeling that she was alive and doing well, and she began to return to traveling, hoping to find her sister and find out what happened with her side of things.

Kew was a Ranger, so she is much more skilled with bows and arrows, allowing her to attack from ranged distances. In her own story, separated from FFXI canon, she had honed in on her skills as a Ranger and became a super bow expert. She also had a dagger that she would keep on her to help her when no arrows were available. Kew is quick, accurate, agile, but her biggest weaknesses were in strength and magic. Both her physical defense and offense are not as good as her accuracy and flexibility.
