Although he is still young, Sanori wears the weight of his struggles in life in his eyes. Untrusting of others, there are very few who manage to worm their way into his guarded heart. For those he considers on a 'friend' level, he is fiercely loyal and protective.
As one might expect with a lalafell, Sanori is a shady little shit. He spends his time within Eorzea and Doma's underbellies, silently collecting information on criminal activity, social gossip, or anything of general interest, intent on selling the info to anyone willing to pay his prices.
He has a fixation on food in general, but can easily be won over with a large cup of boba tea, a delicious bowl of noodles, or a plate of tempura or dumplings.
To date, only 4 individuals know of his half-Garlean heritage, as he keeps it highly under wraps. The Dunesfolk gem on his forehead covers his fully formed, functional Third Eye.
He is particularly skilled in summoning, making his own aetheric inks and creating his own grimoires.
Relationships
Aurora "Rory" Stellina
Rory is Sanori's closest companion, and one of the few he will use the word 'friend' to describe their relationship. She was one of the first and only to show him genuine kindness and understanding, growing their friendship by being a constant inconvenient thorn in his side (as she does.)
The two can often be seen grabbing boba tea and snacks while walking around the major city states together.
L'Oreal de Garnier
L'Oreal is possibly the only person Sanori has willingly admitted the darker part of his heritage to. Though his closeness with L'Ore was initially unwanted, originally feeling like the owner of a large, stupid dog, Sanori is grateful for the cheerful company that L'Oreal provides.
Lio Blackblade
Meeting Lio through Rory, the two had a minor scuffle, with Lio thinking Sanori was stalking his girlfriend. After a decent hit to the forehead, Lio discovered Sanori's secret when his gem fell off. He has kept his secret ever since.
Sanori appreciates Lio's calm, quiet personality, the two of them often people watch when they spend time together. They also share similar traumas relating to Garlemald.
Eru Blackblade
Sanori knows Eru as a proxy to his partners, Lio and Rory, and while the two are not as close, Sanori respects Eru's fiery, protective spirit, despite his struggles in life.
Sanori keeps watch on Eru's estranged family, making note of anything worth mentioning, should Eru's father choose to cause trouble.
History
**Content warning: sexual assault, child abuse and neglect, abortion.
Born in Yanxia during the Garlean occupation of Doma, Sanori is the son of a Doman Dunesfolk lalafell and a Garlean solider. His conception was neither planned nor desired, as his mother did not even know the name or face of the man who assaulted her. She carried her child to term due only to lack of safe options for abortion.
Sanori was given minimal care until around age 5, when his mother's mental health finally declined to the point where she refused to care for him any longer. He learned to fend for himself, for the most part, often locked out of their small hut and left to the elements at night.
Members of the village also treated him poorly, viewing him as more of a deformed monster due to his Third Eye, rather than a child in need of help.

Around age 14, his mother passed away of an illness, though the nature of said illness was never told to him. Rather than seek help for her, he left her to waste away in bed, viewing it as a means of revenge for his mistreatment.
He left for Kugane the day after she died, mentioning her death in passing to some villagers as he headed towards his destination. What became of her body, he never went back to find out. He feels no remorse for her death.
He had stolen his grandfather's forehead gem from his mother's belongings before leaving, as a means to cover the Eye on his forehead.

Quickly becoming street smart in Kugane, he learned of how informants within the black market did their business. Finding that he had a knack for learning people's secrets, he made his living through his newfound trade, easily eavesdropping on sensitive conversations of all sorts, learning who to approach to sell the information to.
Often times, clients would commission him to go undercover as a spy and gather intel, being able to easily do so due to a potent, concentrated form of Fantasia put into pill forms that were designed for him by an Alchemist friend of his.He learned the art of summoning by himself, doing extensive research on the subject, and doing much experimentation with his own formulas, geometries, and spells. He creates his own grimoires woith unique summons.

New to the game and not particularly good at games in general ᵖˡᵉᵃˢᵉ ᵈᵒⁿ'ᵗ ᵐᵃᵏᵉ ᶠᵘⁿ ᵒᶠ ʰᵒʷ ᵇᵃᵈˡʸ ᶦ ᵖˡᵃʸ
I LOVE meeting and chatting with new people. My DMs are open on Twitter!
Sanori is a side character, but I am quickly developing more of his lore.
I will never be using Sanori for ERP, please do not ask.
Collabs for GPOSEs and scenes are open to friends; please send me a DM to inquire!
Don't yuck my yum: I do enjoy darker themes and 'problematic' characters ᶜᵒᵘᵍʰ ᴱᵐᵉᵗ⁻ˢᵉˡᶜʰ often; if I'm posting about something that you don't care for, please feel free to ignore my posts, mute, or unfollow! No hard feelings.
I do not like to RP in game, I prefer on discord, especially so I can look back to reference our characters' RP history if needed. I will give you my discord handle if I feel we are a good RP match.
RPs are not necessarily within Sanori's canon
I do spend a lot of time online, but I am an adult with a job, RPs may take awhile and I will not always be available, sorry! :C
NO RP WITH MINORS (18+ ONLY)
Misc. Relationships
Rory
Rory is Sanori's closest companion, and one of the few he will use the word 'friend' to describe their relationship. She was one of the first and only to show him genuine kindness and understanding, growing their friendship by being a constant inconvenient thorn in his side (as she does.)Sanori was the one to teach Rory the art of summoning, which she picked up on surprisingly quickly.The two can often be seen grabbing boba tea and snacks while walking around the major city states together.History:
He stumbled across her in Ul'dah one day, noticing she was unaware of the men following her, intent on kidnapping her. After pulling her away to safety, he recognized her as a low-level celebrity in Eorzea.
Hoping for some type of monetary reward, he did some research and did some digging, finding out that her stalkers were still intent on kidnapping her, due to her connection to certain organizations within the realm (her FC being one of the largest, her connections with Scion-adjacent and Warrior-of-Light adjacent persons).
Becoming enamored of her charming personality, he ended up taking on a protective role with her, often having to bail her out of bad situations.

Upon visiting her in Albel's apartment, Rory noticed him casing the place, gathering general information based off of things like pictures on the wall, things laying about, etc. When she believed her new, questionable acquaintance might use any information gathered to hurt her loved ones, Rory did something she had never done before: using her Siren Song on Sanori to put a spell on him, making him swear to never use any information in a manner that would get her family hurt, or worse. Having no choice but to agree and not realizing what had happened to him, to this day, the spell remains. (Though, he would never do that to someone Rory cares about now.)
She eventually told him what she had done, and although he was angry, he forgave her, on the condition that the spell be broken, if she ever finds a way to do so.
