Scavenger Gr'a

Uncouth Critter

"So you're telling me a shrimp fried this rice?"

Gr'a is a predictable miqo'te. He shows up, he eats all the food, says something nobody wants to hear, and leaves.Gr'a would fancy himself a critter of very distinguished tastes... if garbage could be considered as much. This miqo'te finds things worthy of his fascination in the oddest places and squirrels them away in clever stashes all over Eorzea. Everyday refuse is never overlooked by this scrappy, trash-digging scavenger.When he's not keeping his sights peeled for things lost and discarded by those lacking a "discerning eye," Gr'a will usually set out in search of a tasty snack. He will resort to any means necessary to fill his belly, and he's quite persuasive about it too.
