Gaan Iriq

Backstory
Gaan was born to the Borlaaq tribe on The Steppe. Due to The Borlaaq tribe consisting of only female Xaelas he was handed over to the Iriq tribe which is where all male Xaela born to the Borlaaq tribe would go, without any exceptions. Because of that the Iriq tribe heavily depended on the Borlaaq tribe to keep theirs from going extinct or being wiped out by bigger and stronger tribes. Members of the Iriq tribe were usually raised and trained from a very young age to protect and fight for the safety of the Borlaaqs during the Naadam. Gaan as a child was very timid and shy and preferred helping out with chores rather than wanting to practice fighting and playing pretend war with the other Au Ra children.
Instead of becoming a prodigy in combat like the rest he ended up sneaking into one of the tents where the kitchen was located in order to avoid the harsh treatment from those in charge of training. This resulted in Gaan befriending one of the tribe elders. A Xaela named Bujir who was usually the one in charge of preparing food for the tribe. Bujir taught him everything from hunting to cooking and baking and even helped Gaan hide in order to keep avoiding training. Bujir ended up being the closest thing to a parental figure Gaan would have.

After their first Naadam went horribly wrong and Bujir accepted the tribe's punishment in Gaan's stead Gaan could only run away from the place he once called home. Having lost someone that he considered a father and the shame of being called a coward by his peers rather than accept the punishment for failing the Naadam he decided to get as far away as possible. Which eventually landed him in Eorzea.
