Having been raised in a traditional Keepers of the Moon household as the first born son, Kyu'a lived his life according to the Keeper expectations. Being one of the only males, his duty was to ensure the survival of his kind; living partially as a traveler to visit others miqo'te to sire children, due to the forbidden practice of interracial breeding.
Though soon he grew tired of it, feeling used and having the knowledge of his female counterparts settle down with Hyurs, among other races without consequence. Weighed down by the guilt of his selfishness, Kyu'a continued to grin and bear it. Though it wasn't until he encountered a Hyur on one of his trips, did the young miqo'te finally gather the courage to forsake his former obligation as a Keeper (albeit to his mother's and sisters' harsh disapproval). Overwhelmed with the experience of imprinting for the first time, Kyu'a took up the magic arts and traveled to Limsa Limsona to find her.
