"Tradition is important. But it's not the only important thing. Kindness, empathy, love - this world and the living, breathing people in it - they matter more."
- Giott, Crystarium, Heavensward

Born, as K'ali Kocat to a small offshoot branch of the Hipparion Tribe in the nation of Corvos, Kali had a childhood formed of high expectations.At the time of her birth, it was seen as an auspicious omen that her hair was of two different colors. And so, she was named after her grandmother, the tribe's Elder Lorekeeper, and raised to follow in her footsteps. Upon her grandmother's death, her ashes were made into a crystal earring that Kali never removes, and she carries the history of her tribe, and her grandmother's legacy, in her heart.Trained in the ancient tradition of the bardic arts to pass down histories to future generations, she developed great respect for the past and what we can learn from it - believing that it's more important to fail and learn from our mistakes than to never try at all.While K'ali has a great respect for tradition she, like many of the younger generation, doesn't feel beholden to many of the old ways of the tribe, especially those related to the heart. She instead believes that love is love, that love is not a finite resource, and given the right connections with partners, is open to multiple romantic relationships with both males and females of any race.

Skills: In her studies, she was also trained in the tribe's sacred ritual fire dances, as well as foraging, crafting, and the shamanistic rites; (these skills would one day evolve into applicable jobs used throughout the rest of Eorzea, including Bard, Dancer, Conjurer, and Omni-crafter / gatherer.)
