#ffxiv Alunsina Lore #23: Alunsina didn’t reveal Yugiri’s secret to the Scions. Instead, she approached her in private as a child from the East. Alunsina was aware of what happened to Doma and so vowed to help Yugiri and her people. #gpose #ffxivss #vanillagpose

After Alphinaud left, Alunsina gave Yugiri a proper greeting as one does from Kugane.

She assured Yugiri that her secret as an Au Ra is safe with her, at least until Yugiri decides to shed her disguise.

She knew Doma was under Garlean rule ever since she was a child. It made her happy that Yugiri and the others were able to escape. She vowed to help them in any way she can.

Fantastic Escapism || FFXIV: Dawntrail spoilers abound! @fanescape18.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

#ffxiv Alunsina Lore #22: In this universe, the Au Ri are very rare in the West. So, she understood the strange looks she received. She also understood why Yugiri covered herself when she first arrived. #gpose #ffxivss #vanillagpose

Alphinaud tasked Alunsina to keep Yugiri and two of her people company. Though Alphinaud questioned Yugiri's choice of clothes, Alunsina knew very well why.

She remembered the stares and whispers that surrounded her when she first arrived in Limsa Lominsa. It didn't help that those from Ishgard looked at her with fear and anger thinking she's dragon kin.

Only until she had proven her mettle did it change. The looks and gossip were lessened but were never truly gone.

#ffxiv Alunsina Lore #21: It was also this time that Alunsina encountered the Red Mage X’rhun Tia. And so, she learned her 3rd canon job: Red Mage. #gpose #ffxivss #vanillagpose

#ffxiv Alunsina Lore #20: Aside from visions and emotions that weren't her own, she also found skills quite easy to master, as if she was just remembering forgotten arts. Such was the case when she became a Ninja and then a Dancer, her 2nd canon job. #gpose #ffxivss #vanillagpose

Alunsina danced the steps she was taught by Troupe Falsiam.

#ffxiv Alunsina Lore #19: A sudden deep grief rose inside her as she looked out the horizon. The scene was beautiful but… wrong. Something is gone. Tears rolled down her cheeks and she couldn't understand why. What was it?! What was missing?! #gpose #ffxivss #vanillagpose

Fantastic Escapism || FFXIV: Dawntrail spoilers abound! @fanescape18.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

#ffxiv Alunsina Lore #18: Alunsina started with the Arcanists’ Guild to peruse their tomes and find a clue but she found none. Crestfallen, she walked around Limsa Lominsa until she saw the horizon of The Indigo Deep where a feeling made her stop. #gpose #ffxivss #vanillagpose

Alunsina walked around to clear her head. She found no clues from the tomes at the Arcanists' guild. Minfilia explained the Echo to her yes but what she had been experiencing was more than seeing someone else's past; it felt more like remembering a lost memory along with the feelings attached to them. But it wasn't her memories, or was it?

She looked at the horizon of The Indigo Deep in hopes of clearing her head but a sudden hit of nostalgia and... grief... surprised her.

Fantastic Escapism || FFXIV: Dawntrail spoilers abound! @fanescape18.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

#ffxiv Alunsina Lore #17: She learned more about the Echo through Minfilia but it didn’t answer the dreams and the wisps of memories that weren't her own. Y’shtola and Urianger didn’t have the answers either but they promised to help her. #gpose #ffxivss #vanillagpose

Alunsina finally met the Scions of the Seventh Dawn.

Alunsina was relieved. Finally, there was progress towards her goal, to understand why she could suddenly see the past of others.

Urianger was introduced. Perhaps, he could help her regarding the memories that weren't caused by the Echo, memories that felt like it was connected to her.

Fantastic Escapism || FFXIV: Dawntrail spoilers abound! @fanescape18.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

#ffxiv Alunsina Lore #16: Alunsina’s journey didn’t stray much from the MSQ at first. The only difference was she sought the Scions and when she was found by Y’shtola, she felt relief and asked questions about her condition. #gpose #ffxivss #vanillagpose

Y'shtola didn't give all the information to her but, finally something that could be a clue to her "gift" was enough to feel relieved.

As soon as the word "Scion" was uttered in relation to Y'shtola, Alunsina did not let the opportunity to meet them slip from her grasp.

#ffxiv Alunsina Lore #12: 4 more years have passed until a curious tourist from Eorzea gave her a tip: look for the Scions. Luckily, a ship was to leave in a day from Kugane straight towards Limsa Lominza and she was offered a place as a traveller. #gpose #ffxivss #vanillagpose

Alunsina was surprised by the sudden offer.

Alunsina asked around for clues on her condition.

No matter how much she researched or how many people she asked, there were no clues in sight. Alunsina felt disheartened.

#ffxiv Alunsina Lore #9: Alunsina would wake up in tears. She would feel a deep yearning for something or someone she never knew. She would know details from one’s past after suffering a headache. She would remember memories that weren’t hers. #gpose #ffxivss #vanillagpose

Not only did she have a nightmare, she also felt a migraine.

All she could do was silently cry to not wake her mother. Little did she know, Hiraya knew of her predicament.
