About

about us

Yuuta's passion of the culinary arts gave his found family nourishment and warmth for over eight years. He desired to express his love of cooking and food to others in need of that same warmth, so he began The Dark Forest to answer that need. Planting the seed of his generosity in the Lavender Beds, The Dark Forest offers a mysterious and alluring atmosphere to those outside its doors, only to find the comfort and love nestled in every dish and beverage the menu has to offer.Here within the café is a warm and welcoming slice of paradise enveloped in a cozy umbral shroud of mystery.

staff

yuuta eidola

owner/founder • 26 • he/him • demisexual

Born in the Azim Steppe but raised in Ishgard,
Yuuta is a well rounded Xaela who is not afraid to get his hands dirty.
Protective over his friends and family, he aims to keep any
who enter the café safe and comfortable more than anything else.
A man of secrets, not willing to share a bit of his past, you'll
most likely hear his catch phrase:
"You're asking too many questions."

jade light

co-owner/door kicker • 30 • he/him • pansexual

Born in Coerthas this overly-hyper, overly-friendly Miqo'te has been best friends with
Yuuta for years. (Probably why he has a job in the first place!)
His life turned around for the better but he's never shy to being a menace to
those he cares for.

panthea camoa

head waitress • 29 • she/her • pansexual

The Shroud’s very own Witch in the woods. Born and raised among the lush vegetation,
Panthea has seen and experienced many of life’s joys and heartaches.
She was asked to join the ranks and she couldn’t tell her favorite Ishgardian Xaela no!
(More time to torture the poor man? She wouldn’t dream of giving that up.)
Confident in most everything she does, she will ensure your visit isn’t one to easily forget.

nox bulric

head barista • 27 • she/her • pansexual

Growing up in Gridania has its advantages, learning to wield magic
early on even against her fathers wishes, Nox is now a skilled healer and magic user.
She is caring, selfless and will do anything to make you laugh.
Just... don't touch her ears or tail...
you might get into a situation you don't want to be in.

Vivienne Castillon

reception • 24 • she/her • demisexual

Vivienne appeared in the city of Ul'dah one day, her thick
Ishgardian accent unmistakable. Those without the Echo may have difficulty
understanding her at times, causing her some confusion.
Still, she appears to have quite the adaptive spirit.

FreyjaTeraldani

reception/flex • 6.5k • she/her • demisexual

A curious little (usually) Aura who is very clearly hiding something, and she's
not hiding the fact that she's basically blind.
Phoenix is a very curious, kind, caring and loving soul who grew up, or so she says,
in Sharlayan for 30 years. She earned her Archon marks before finding herself in
all sorts of trouble on her adventures through Eorzea. Wanna know more about her?
Get to know her (or at least buy a girl dinner) first!

Caelum'sae Nhaesin

waiter • 28 • he/him • homosexual

The youngest of 4 boys, and the youngest of a set of twins, Caelum is the
more outgoing and energetic of the group. There's nothing he loves more
than warm drinks, trading stories, and meeting new friends.

Lissa Blanchevent

barista • 25 • she/her • homosexual

Born in the ashen streets of Ishgard, Lissa became a talented Dragoon in service
to the Holy See, inspired by tales of The Azure Dragoon. Cheerful, bubbly, and lover
of all things sweet, Lissa works hard to give smiles to those who need it.

S'davi Kitanni

tarot reader/flex • 22 • she/her • demisexual

From Maelstrom medic to philanthropist to philosopher, S'davi is always
chasing the joy in life, leading a somewhat nomadic life. She's wise beyond her years,
but still young at heart. The café has become a home away from home for her,
and she'll want to show you why.

Sindryth Aestruna

bard • ?? • he/him • not interested

Sindryth works as a mercenary for hire as his primary trade.
His demeanor is no nonsense and blunt to the point of extreme frankness,
which can be considered rude (or hilarious). He loves music and
moonlights as a bard and DJ at numerous places around Eorzea in hopes that he can
eventually leave mercenary life behind for a safer profession
doing something he loves.

Mythical Beings

thedis iscariot

Graphic Design • 24 • they/them • bisexual

their singing voice and violin.
