Foxa was born in Gridania as an only child. Her parents would work as hunters out in the Shroud, bringing back pelts, meat and whatever else they could find along the way to sell to merchants. She grew up traveling from place to place, as her parents continued to hunt to make a living. At the age of ten, her father left to wander, leaving her mother to continue raising her. Around this time, Foxa's mother taught her how to wield a bow, Although it would take her some time to become skilled at Archery. Along the way she'd learn some tricks about botany, to help with the gathering of plants and herbs within the Shroud.

When she came of age, Foxa left the care of her mother for a life of adventure and exploration. She would travel throughout the vast forests of the Black Shroud, slaying wild beasts and doing battle with bandits and poachers!

It was an experimental time for Foxa; training with a multitude of arms with no master to instruct her. She would eventually take favor to lances, swords, and daggers, though she would never master them due to the burden it would be to lug the extra weapons around.

After a few years of a vagabond's life, Foxa decided that it was time to commit to something more than herself. She would make her way to Ul'dah in search for allies. After a couple of weeks of searching, she found enough people to make a team of adventurers, which cost her most of her gil.

Foxa and her team traveled all over Thanalan; battling bandits, hunting dangerous monsters, and helping out the folk who needed it. Over time, she gained profit from doing this work and funneled it back to her team for expansion, equipment, and training. From this, the Azure Flames would be born: an adventuring Free Company seeking to aid those in need and to slay any dangers that they were able to handle.
