The Balamb Train

All Aboard the Balamb Train!

Granola Brekkie
Our bartender is a Galbadian resident who has strong opinions about breakfast.
Reserved, stoic bunboi. Doesn't talk too much.
Nana Purpleheart
Our artist-in-residence hails from Esthar City. After graduating from Balamb Garden, Nana decided to pursue her passion of riding on locomotives for the rest of her life. Also, she does art.
A self-proclaimed innocent person with a cute demeanor.
She is a cross-dressing beauty as a Black Mage (or so she says), but this time around, she is not hiding the fact that she is a beauty, and is enjoying the bartending work wholeheartedly. She may love herself, but she also loves the people around her. Combining narcissism and philanthropy, the powerful magician of FFXIV has a truly interesting set of values.
She also converts her beautiful voice to attack, and gloriously shoots out pheromones to her FC members.So how does a singing voice cause damage, you ask? Tetora still has yet to realize the cruel truth.
Do you want to surprise a friend or treat your FC to a special day aboard the Balamb Train?
