Jel Omiata

Jel is from the well-known artisan family Omiata. As expected of the town's tailor, he shows his impeccable style.As the town tailor, Jel has a keen eye for fashion and a penchant for design. He is pensive, thoughtful and tends to fall into melancholy and take long evening walks. He is polite and can be a bit snooty. Despite Jel's mastery of the artisan craft, a subtle undercurrent of insecurity flows beneath the surface. The weight of carrying forward the illustrious Omiata family name often rests heavily on his shoulders. Doubts about whether he can live up to the legacy linger, creating a tapestry of self-doubt that contrasts sharply with the elegance of his designs.

In search of a fresh canvas to paint his aspirations, Jel finds himself in Kilima Town, Palia. Here, amidst a new horizon, he senses an opportunity to liberate himself from the shadows of expectations. In this quaint village, Jel envisions weaving a narrative of his own, one where he can truly shine as a designer and leave an indelible mark.

His journey takes an unexpected turn when a captivating figure emerges on the horizon – a purple-skinned elf from the Majiri, a species that brings an exotic allure to Kilima Town. Entranced by the unique beauty and grace of this newcomer, Jel's insecurities momentarily fade away. The human becomes both an intriguing muse and a source of inspiration, offering a fresh perspective that revitalizes his creative spirit.

As Jel and the Majiri elf's paths intertwine, a new chapter unfolds in the tapestry of his life. The unfamiliar becomes a source of fascination, pushing Jel to explore uncharted design territories and infuse his creations with a fusion of Majiri elegance and human charm. In this newfound connection, Jel not only discovers a muse but also a chance to redefine his narrative, casting aside the doubts that once held him back, and embracing the vibrant colors of a promising future in Kilima Town.

"I knew I wanted to be part of the Omiata line, trace the same footsteps as my mother and sisters, but I would only be worthy if I could contribute my own voice."

"Please stay with me just a moment longer if you can. I do fear where my thoughts might go if I linger here alone too long..."

"I'm presently ruminating on the darkness of the soul." "You're so happy all the time, you wouldn't know anything about that would you?" "Oh, how naive you are my muse."

"There's nothing more serious in high society than a ruined party. The rich have so little else to worry about after all."

I should have warned Sifuu so she didn’t spoil it for you. I wanted to be the one to tell you that I want you to have a part of me that you can carry with you.

Jel: I made my pin out of the nacre of a green pearl. It represents me since I may not be the bright white pearl everyone thinks they’re looking for, but I can shine just as brightly. And the shells represent you…because I first started to see what a wonderful person you are when you brought me those shells for my buttons. I know it was just a little thing, but that small act of kindness showed me how thoughtful you are, and that’s a rarer quality than you think. When I first made this pin as a boy, I vividly pictured the face of the person I might give it to. …Needless to say, I didn’t exactly picture the person I intend to give this to now. But that’s the thing about life, isn’t it? It always catches us by surprise. I hope this gift is a pleasant one."
