About Zyneste Daiku

The daughter of Andoran farmers, Zyneste was a shy but curious girl, seeking answers and meaning in life. From an early age she was also a handy hunter, unusually adept with the bow.

One day when joining her parents on a trade trip to Absalom she caught the eye of a visiting diplomat from Tian Xia named Juro. The two fell deeply in love, both sharing a passion for wisdom and seeking the path to enlightenment. With reluctant permission from her parents who knew the young girl would always be restless at home, the two returned to Juro's homeland far to the East of the Inner Sea to be married.

After a few short, happy years, however, Juro fell tragically ill. Despite Zyneste's best efforts she could not return him to health, and her young husband passed away in his prime.

Zyneste, distraught and alone, decided to continue her search for enlightenment and spiritual perfection. Entering a secluded tian monastery she devoted herself to the teachings of Irori (the God of Perfection) and to meditation on life. The one thing that helped her stay centred and serene, was an object from her childhood, the bow. Practicing for countless hours as a form of meditiation, her and her weapon have almost become one.

Deciding at last to return to her homeland she found that her parents too were no longer alive, so instead she has joined the Pathfinders in an attempt to bring meaning to her life and to continue her quest for perfection.
