“A flower blossoming even in the dead of winter”
Hillaru Duloc
A Veena Viera from the Skatay Range mountains, Hillaru left their unfulfilling life behind in search of adventure and purpose in Eorzea. They took up a position as a Paladin in the Temple Knights of Ishgard but retired the post after the dramatic events of the Dragonsong War left them disillusioned. While leaving Ishgard, they happened upon Renwin Duloc who was being attacked by a monster. Hillaru saved Renwin, and they began adventuring together. The two fell in love and married.
And so their story begins...

Interest: Culinary
Hillaru quickly became the go-to cook in their mercenary companies, owing to the care they took in preparing each meal as tastily, and efficiently, as possible.
They kept the temple stocked with freshly made donuts, which quickly became a favorite treat amongst the clergy and congregation.
Hillaru owns their own bakery called "Bunwife's Bakery", open daily between mercenary jobs.

Originally trained in salve-making as a kit, Hillaru has honed their healing craft to include medicinals and alchemy. Working as a battlefield medic taught them first aid and wound management.
They can use prayer and ritual to create healing foods.
Recently, they've learned how to heal using aether.
Interest: Combat
After leaving their traditional life behind in the Skatay mountains, they honed their martial skills over the centuries through mercenary work, adventuring, and enlisting as a Paladin in the Temple Knights of Ishgard during the Dragonsong War.

They'd love to meet more spar partners, and enjoy teaching and learning combat from others.
