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 • 27 • 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.
"Jade's a good friend. He just keeps kicking my doors." - Y


panthea eidola

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.
"Pan's the best. She helps keep my head on my shoulders and calm. She just looks at me weird a lot." -Y


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.
"Vivi's interesting. She always seems kind of stuck up until you talk about ghosts. Then she has a gun?" -Y


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.
"Cael's cute. He's always in a good mood which helps with the stressful times. We'd be lost without the guy." - Y


Lissa Blanchevent

head 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.
"I really like Lissa. Helps she's my friend's sister, but she is really easy to talk to. Definitely brings life to the bar." - Y


Sindryth Aestruna

bard • ?? • he/him • not interested


Sindryth works as a mercenary for hire as his primary trade. His demeanor is no
onsense 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.
"Before you ask.. it's not my fucking Name Day." - Y

Mythical Beings

thedis iscariot

Graphic Design • 24 • they/them • bisexual


An adventurer and archaeologist, Thedis spends much of their time
traveling to record the remnants of ancient civilisations and lend their aid
to those in need, be it through soumanotics, alchemy, or – a rare privilege –
their singing voice and violin.


house namazu

Basement Decorating & Support • he/him, yes yes

We don't know where he came from, or when he'll show up...
only that he does from time to time.
Head pat for good luck, just don't mind the hissing.
