  Fun Facts! (Spoilers)!

  Just because she doesn't have her book, doesn't mean that she's without a weapon. The Bi Fang tattoo on her side was done with enchanted ink and can be reactivated by coming in contact with another aetherial catalyst. If one were to get close enough to take a good look at her the lines of her tattoo, Hingan characters can be made out in the form of spells, hidden beneath a blackout layer.

• Backstory Excerpt

  Hananashi was raised in a small fishing village in Hingashi by her mother, originally from Kugane, who feared that the port's denizens would reject her family and her daughter. After an unexpected reunion with her father, as he prepared to leave, she stowed away with him onto a Confederacy ship and thus began her life at sea. The captain didn't take well to the fact that she was a stow away, but since he had taken on her father as part of his crew, Hana became part of the cabin crew. Once they'd arrived in Eorzea, her father bargained with with friends and family to take her in, which never lasted long since she could never understand what was expected of her due to the language barrier, always making her way back to a port and ultimately out to sea.
  Spending just under a decade this way, her travels landed her in the arms of the Sahagin's Bane. With this crew, she was taught the arcana by a senior member, eventually picking up alchemy as well. While docked in Radz-at-Han in Thavnair, she came across an unknown smokable substance in a seclusive, back alley pub. It left her disoriented for days, her crew having given up search for her and left port. Thanks to her alchemy skill, she was able to produce a similar concoction, and with her partner and lover, discreetly sold the substance. A sudden turn of events left them split up, and Hana imprisoned charged with illegal distribution of a deadly product. Thavnair law wasn't kind to drug manufacturers or dealers, and sentenced the woman to death.
  While awaiting execution, the jail was attacked by sea to free a different group of prisoners. Never the less, Hana escaped with them. The ship sailed to La Noscea where the Admiral and her Maelstrom lay in wait, blowing apart the ship and sinking the crew. Injured and half drowned, the miqo'te drifted to Southern Aldenard where she was nursed back to health by the people of Vesper Bay. After a year of recovery, she found promising business in the black market, discovering a profit and love for artifacts. With the help of a friend she purchased part of a vineyard in Vylbrand, mixing the wine with an extract taken from morbol vines, and coined the wine "Morbol Vine Wine". Though illegal, due to the toxicity of morbols, she managed to find a niche in the black market that eventually made it's way to Ul'dah's elitests over the years. The gil was used to purchase a shop in the Shroud, "Thaliak's Obscura". Shortly after she was hired on with the company, The Warden's Flame, though due unrest within their ranks, she regrettably left. Not long after, Atmus, the captain of the Deus Airship Privateers offered a place for her with his crew.
  During the excitement of moving, officers of the Twin Adders found the miqo'te, who was still wanted by the law of Thavnair, and she was forced to move the shop, finding temporary sanctuary within Hingashi at Shirogane. Proposing new business, Atmus offered a partnership to manufacture and distribute ale and her wine, to which she accepted. Both her wine and the Deus ale are stocked in the lounge of Thaliak's Obscura, often taking orders for various companies around Shirogane and Eorzea, as well as private clients.
  Having stopped production on Morbol Vine Wine due to personal reasons, Hana moved out of the Deus Privateer company home, making her place of residence in Shirogane. Due to this, her time in Eorzea is often brief and mostly centralized in Vylbrand where she still has ownership of part of vineyard.
