Shiori niv Kaipo

Childhood 101-116 AB
When Shiori was a child, she lived with her parents in a small farming village. There she grew up until she moved away at the age of 15.

Life with Parents 101-116 AB
Shiori's parents were farmers, and Shiori learned at a young age that hard work paid off with a good harvest. Shiori was "helping" her parents in the fields by the age of six, and when she was eight, she knew how to cook, plow, seed, and all the other necessary jobs needed for the survival of the crops and the family.

When Shiori was just ten, she could already take care of the small shack that was her family's home. Sadly though, disaster struck when Shiori's parents died of fatal wounds inflicted by countryside bandits.

Moving away 116 AB
Saddened and distraught by what happened to her family, Shiori deemed it safest to move away from her home village and live somewhere a little more guarded.

Makoto and Sakurai Tempo 116-124 AB
After their meeting, Shiori and Makoto started to enjoy each other's company. Makoto rented a home in Sakurai Tempo. However, it was very messy and full of spices and sandy robes.

Makoto's Return from Kafas 118 AB
One day, Makoto came home after a long journey from a distant city he called "the city of fortune," With his return, he also brought barrels of spice and other exotic goods. Makoto told Shiori all about his experiences and how he joined their religion, The Lost Gods. Makoto was so impressed that he even talked to the mayor of the city, Ameri Susanda.

Seeing how passionate Makoto was about this city, Shiori told him to take her there sometime. She also read the religious books he brought back and started associating the gods with the ones she was taught about when she was with her parents.

Marriage and moving to Kai 124 AB
After about a month of hard work, Makoto saved enough money to buy a small home in a city called Kawatoumi. Makoto happily announced this to Shiori, who thought they would go their separate ways. However, her dreams came true when Makoto asked if she wanted to come with him and get married.

Visiting Kafas Niv Jaseda
For their honeymoon and before they bought a home, Makoto had booked passage on a ship headed for the port of Kafas niv Jaseda. When they arrived, Shiori was stunned at the bustling markets, busy canals, and the amount of spice everywhere. As promised, Makoto took her to the city's Lost Gods temple, where she officially joined the faith. After that, she ran into a brown-haired girl around her age.

Meeting Kyoko Susanda 125 AB
The girl stopped and introduced herself as Kyoko Susanda, the city's mayor.

Shiori asked Makoto, "Didn't you tell me that the mayor was named Ameri?"

Kyoko responded, "Ameri just recently retired and is going to be sailing to the small village of Starfallen soon. Due to this, I have been appointed as the new mayor for the time being."

After this, the newlyweds stay touring the city for a few more months and talking to locals.

Buying a home in Kawatoumi 126 AB
Once the couple had finished their trip in Kafas, they took a ship to the city of Kawatoumi. Here they decided to settle down and live. From the wealth acquired after selling spice, Makoto and Shiori decided to switch to a simpler life and settle down and have a family.

Banished from farming 132 AB

Of course, nothing good came of this and a scary accident occurred where Sayori slipped and fell. She landed on her face and the sickle she held sliced open her forearm. Shiori rushed her to the local clinic and got her wrapped up. This resulted in Sayori being banned from "farming" until she grew up.

Crystals 138 AB
On Sayori's 11th birthday. Shiori and Makoto decided to give her jewelry made from stunning purple crystals they bought in Najer. She loved the crystals on the jewelry and decided to experiment with them. After mixing the crystals with the enderdust she stole from Kyoká she decided she should dive into the water wearing these new greenish crystals.

Disaster
As soon as Sayori submerged herself in the salty ocean, she started to feel something pulling her down. Purple and greenish-blue light began to escape the crystals. Suddenly there was a cracking sound, and a whirlpool snatched her and dragged her deep down. Starting to black out, she panicked, desperately trying to swim back up but failing to do so. As the light faded from her sight, she closed her eyes and awaited the pain that would come.
