Snake Eater

Snake Eater, real name Shiloh pyr Gaudium, is a Hyur who resides in Eorzea and a Warrior of Light. She hails from Garlemald and is a member of their military. 
She was assigned to be Doug Bibcage's partner (or more specifically his 'counter-balance') and the duo act together as Garnet Security. 
== History (PRE ARR) ==
Shiloh Gaudium was born into a civilian family in Garlemald in 1557. The daughter of a Garlean father and Eorzean mother, Shiloh lacked the signature eye that the people of Garlemald brandished proudly. This would cause her to be considered something of black sheep throughout her youth, the odd one out left to themselves. An outside. Because of this, Shiloh would often try to find humor and happiness through the littlest of things she could. From animals to simply saying things in funny ways, anything that could even slightly be considered silly was enough to make her laugh.
Once old enough to, Shiloh enlisted into the IIIrd Imperial Legion. There she was trained in combat, showing surprising skill wielding swords and firearms. Despite this, Shiloh’s silly demeanor resulted in her catching ire from most of the higher ranked members of the legion, resulting in the continuation of her ostracization. It was only after meeting (and somehow bounding with) an officer from the Ist Legion that Shiloh finally began to be allowed to join the Garlean social fold.
With Shiloh finally welcome in the IIIrd Legion, her skills in combat finally began garnering attention, even that of the IIIrd Leigon’s own legatus, Vergilla van Corculum. This would happen almost just days before the Seventh Umbral Calamity. After the calamity, Shiloh was summoned to a meeting with Vergilla and was assigned as the IIIrd Legion’s Tesserarius, granting her the title of pyr. Shiloh now had the responsibility of maintaining communication between Vergilla and the rest of the Legion. Alongside that however, she was given the task to infiltrate the Black Shroud and locate the one who defeated the XIVth’s legatus. As such, she was given the codename Snake Eater. Shiloh departed from Garlemald and ventured to Eorzea, ready to commence her mission.

Arriving at Ul’dah in Thanalan, Shiloh’s first task was to reach the Black Shroud. She would immediately become sidetracked, however, by the beauty of the countryside. It was so beautiful, Shiloh would completely forget about her mission for a while. 
As she wandered aimlessly, she was contracted to serve as ORCA Agent Doug Bibcage's partner and the pair formed Garnet Security with the intent of stopping the summoning of Primals. This goal lead to the duo accidentally and coincidentally working in tandem with the Scions of the Seventh Dawn frequently.
After a bit of time with Doug, Snake somehow found herself on a boat to Kugane along with Fumimi Fumi. The two traveled together across the Ruby Sea and explored Othard as Fumimi sought to aid in liberating Doma, though Snake herself was oblivious to Fumimi's purpose. After the liberation of Doma, Fumimi and Snake returned to Ala Mhigo where they temporarily parted ways. During this time, Snake (accidentally) revealed her true name, her Garlean allegiance and her mission to hunt down the Warrior of Light to Fumimi through a series of letters. Despite this, Fumimi never confronted or questioned Snake, even after they reunited in Ala Mhigo. Though Fumimi would continue on her mission, Snake would once again go off on her own.
Sometime after the liberation of Ala Mhigo, Snake heard of "something spooky" in a trench in Mor Dhona and told Fumimi of it through a letter. This "something spooky" ended up being a beacon that transported her to the First.

Snake arrived in the First and wandered for quite some time, eventually winding up in Kholusia. As time is convoluted between Shards, the amount of time she was away from the Source may seem small, but in reality....
== Personality ==
Snake Eater is perhaps the only being in existence with an intellect lesser than that of Doug Bibcage. She is more often than not oblivious to the circumstances and importance of nearly all situations and her failure to see such things makes Doug act as the rational one. 
Snake speaks almost entirely using early to late 2000's dialect and incorporates early internet and "scene" terms and speech patterns into her everyday speech. 
Snake Eater is a true optimist, so far so that some may even say she's delusionally optimistic. 
Despite everything listed above, Snake Eater has proven to be apt at learning and practicing a multitude of different jobs as she is currently a practicing Monk, White Mage, Thaumaturge, Archer and Lancer, though shows the greatest proficiency as a Machinist and Paladin.
