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.

owner/founder • 27 • he/him
Yuuta is a well rounded man 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
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.
Oleani Restrictica
reception • 27 • she/her
meow, and stuff.
Caelum'sae Nhaesin
waiter • 28 • he/him
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
head barista • 25 • she/her
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.
Sindryth Aestruna
bard • ?? • he/him
Sindryth works as a mercenary for hire as his primary trade. His demeanor is 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.
