Niome Mizune

Niome Mizune welcomes you to The Carbuncle Cafe - a place to curl up with a good book, a cute carbuncle friend, and an even better bit of food!

The owner is a lively and upbeat Keeper of the Moon Miqo'te named Niome - she opened this cafe last year and business has been doing well!

Since the opening of the cafe, she has added to the friendly critters that roam around the tables and steal all the pets and pats from her customers:

Emi, a bratty Emerald Carbuncle, summoned by Niome during a training mission in Limsa Lominsa, it seemed all the summon could do was hunt down yummy smelling food and lay on its back sleeping... Certainly no fighter, Niome is left with a very lazy and spoiled pet.

Sprinkle, a small whittret that Niome purchased from a merchant passing through Kugane one afternoon. As soon as her eyes met Sprinkle's she knew that it was a bond meant to last beyond life and death. Sprinkle is still a little skittish, but likes to curl up around Niome's neck. Niome has been working on building a complex shelving and tube contraption around the walls of the cafe for Sprinkle to run around and play.

Cafe Owner Niome

The adopted daughter/apprentice to a premier spice merchant with business dealings in Limsa Lominsa, Thavnair, and Hingashi. After spending most of her young life in Thavnair, Niome began to train in the martial techniques of Dancers. After a brief journey of self-reflection when she attempted to find more about her origins at age 20 - though she was unable to find any details about her past, she did pick up Arcanism after seeing a Carbuncle running along the pier and falling in love with them. To help pay her bills while journeying in Eorzea, she apprenticed at The Bismarck where she utilized her expertise in using spices to her advantage. After being unable to locate any clues for 3 summers, Niome returned to Thavnair with a desire to start working on a cafe. She opened the Carbuncle Cafe in Kugane in her 23rd summer with the earnings from her time at the Bismarck.

Warrior of Light Niome

A similar start to life as in her Cafe!Nio verse, Niome felt a pull to travel to Eorzea in the year 0 of the Seventh Umbral Era. She had just turned 18. After the events of The Calamity, her adopted merchant father asked her to go check on the status of his prominent business partners in Limsa Lominsa. While journeying from Thavnair to Sharlayan, Niome experienced many hallucinations of a voice calling out to her. One night upon the deck of the ship, just to the West of Limsa Lominsa, still en route to Sharlayan, Niome looked up and saw a light blue glow in the moon. Something about it seemed far different than she had ever seen, but it had a warm comfort. After this time, Niome had been a patron of the goddess Menphina.

Lethe - Ancient Azem Niome

  • Goddess of the River Lethe in the Underworld - souls of the dead would cleanse their memories in her waters and forget their memories of their earthly life

  • Weapon of Choice: Silver & Blue Chakrams

  • Weak Soul Sight (misty haze when concentrating hard on person)

  • Specializes in Water & Light Creation Magic

  • Best Friend Trio: Hades, Hythlodaeus, Lethe

Ascian Azem - Lethe

Lethe managed to be one of the few Ancients who was able to break out of the cracks created when Venat sundered Etheirys, when she awoke she looked and only Lahabrea and Elidibus had managed to make it through with her. Her clawed gloves tried to rip at whatever she could, tearing through the aetherial sea as she floated - screaming for Hades.

Losing Hythlodaeus to the summoning of Zodiark was a hard loss for her, but knowing that she had also lost Hades... she was inconsolable. Looking for any sort of answer, any ties to him and the past she lost, she eagerly followed the machinations of Elidibus.

Her love over the years had turned to a raging obsession. She barely bothered to pay much attention to the new sundered beings that populated these shards - spending her time just toying with them. She acted like a small child with a dollhouse, playing pretend love with various people over the eons before utterly destroying them and their lives. She was an agent of chaos - sewing discord anywhere she went.

However, she had never expected to come face to face with the famed Warrior of Light on the First... His soul glowed such a brilliant color... it was warm and made her heart flutter oddly - something long forgotten.... Was it an effect of the light?

However, when her Warrior brought his blade to bear against her, his essence was clear - he was the one she had looked for for so long. And so she fell apart, unable to raise a hand against the man who she had waited for for generations...

Would he show her mercy? Or rid the world of such darkness and chaos?

Niome Mizune

Niome was born somewhere in La Noscea about 23 years ago. Her mother was unable to care for her, being so young and having just lost her mate. The Keeper of the Moon Miqo'te mother did her best to care for Niome for as many years as she could, but when Niome was about 4 she snuck the child onto a merchant vessel and told her to wait for her. The mother left with tears in her eyes as the ship pulled out of port.

Niome was found a few hours later, swaying with the rhythm of the ocean. The shipmates who found her brought her to the merchant who owned the vessel, an older Au Ra man named Mizuki Mizune. He took pity on the girl after hearing her story and took her under his wing. The ship headed to Thavnair, where Niome would be adopted into the merchant's family who had moved there seeking fortune in spices.

The Mizune family was rather small - despite owning quite a successful mercantile empire for spice trade between the Far East and Eorzea, Mizuki Mizune and his wife, Hazuki, were never able to have children of their own because of Hazuki's weak health. Their initial journey to Thavnair had been in search of the help of the alchemists to try to heal Hazuki, but alas it would be a lifelong illness with consistent need for treatment by the alchemists... During her childhood spent exploring Thavnair, Niome chanced upon a teacher of dance - quickly fascinated by the woman's grace and poise. It was when the woman defended her from an oncoming attack from the beast Iravati - dashing and dancing around the creature so quickly that she was easily able to bring the beast down - that Niome begged the woman to teach her. Starting at age 11, Niome began trainings with her dance instructor - a beautiful Raen woman with intricately curled horns and wavy fiery hair that burned with the midday sun.

When Niome was 15 she started to learn the merchant business. Mizuki believed it would be good for his adopted daughter to learn the art of the trade. Niome and her adoptive father made many long voyages between Limsa Lominsa, Thavnair, and Kugane. She had a natural knack for adjusting to the rhythm of the waves. While in Limsa, Niome would spend her time outside of her lessons getting to know the townsfolk. It was during this exploration that she found herself at the Bismarck. Enticed by the smell of spices, she wandered into the kitchen. When they tried to chase her out, it was her father Mizuki who introduced her to the guild leader, explaining that she had a vast knowledge of spices and her skills in the culinary arts were admirable and full of promise. This intrigued the guildmaster, who offered Niome an apprenticeship if her father would cut him a deal on spices. Mizuki begrudgingly agreed and Niome began her training in the kitchens, with the hope of her father and mother to be able to be independent.

During her free time, Niome did whatever Limsa had to offer. She trained as a rogue, as a marauder, and as an arcanist, but she was best as an arcanist. Because of her background helping do books for the merchant business, arcane magics and theories came easily to her. The first time she was able to summon a Carbuncle was a day of immense celebration - though, the creature was less than obedient and had a bad attitude.

After about 8 years working and living on and off in Limsa Lominsa and training at the Bismarck, Niome heard news from a passing merchant who worked with her father that her mother had fallen even more ill. She quickly demanded passage on the next ship to Thavnair, rushing home to be by her mother's side. As Niome tore into the relatively spacious house, she darted toward the comfortable bedroom. Her mother lay upon the many pillows, blankets, silks, and soft plush toys - all gifts from her father's travels or (more recently) Niome's travels and work in Limsa Lominsa. Her mother's passing was peaceful thanks to the medication that the alchemists gave her, but it did not lessen the pain and sadness that her absence created. At first, Niome wished to stay with her father to help him with the business, but he insisted that the business kept him busy - gave him his drive. He wished for Niome to forge her own path - one that her mother and him would be proud of...

After 10 years working in the Bismarck and learning all she could, Niome returned to Kugane. Her father gave her a small allowance and told her to use her entrepreneurial skills to make a name for herself. It was with this knowledge Nio set out to create her Carbuncle Cafe, putting her knowledge of spices and cooking to use!
