Meet the Staff

Ritz Rose

Age: 44 | Race: Viera, Jynn Clan | Pronouns: He/Him
Occupation(s): Mercenary, Host, and Venue Owner/Worker
Cafe Role: Owner and Bartender"My name is Ritsija, but most folk know me by Ritz. I am originally from the mountains of the Skatay Range, before I chose to move to Eorzea and begin pursuing my dreams of collecting stories and knowledge from across the entire star.When not running the cafe, I take work on the side as a freelance mercenary, with a specialty in fighting, hunting, or gathering. Though generally, if the coin is good enough, I'll take on whatever else may be requested. If not working, then I can be found somewhere comfortable beneath the sun or stars, with a book or fishing rod in hand.I'm told I can be shy at first, but I feel I do open up rather easily with conversation - where I often prefer to listen to stories rather than tell my own. Though I am always happy to share stories of my own adventures to anyone willing to listen and lend an ear or two."

I was born in and grew up around Limsa Lominsa, but have since travelled far and wide in pursuit of knowledge and adventure.I do my best to split my time evenly between Adventuring, studying and lectures in Sharlayan, as well as overseeing my Free Company. In my upbeat hours, I adventure, I sightsee, and I help wherever I can - In my downtempo hours, I read, study, and perhaps occasionally pen a tale or two of my own.I'm very open and always more than willing to talk with anyone from any walk of life. Consider me one of the Rose Garden's many books - I have stories to share and blank pages for more."

At my home, I maintain a Tarot parlor where I provide readings for those who inquire insight into both the major and the mundane. When given downtime, I prefer to spend my hours with either a good book or crafters tools in hand.It can take me some time to put voice to my thoughts, but I am always happy to converse with new people. And if you just need someone to listen, I’m all ears."

Being a newcomer on this side of the world; the more I travel, the more I learn. On my journeys, I'm accompanied by my furry friend, Otto. He's a bit of a troublemaker, but we've known each other for almost as long as I've been here.For work, I clean houses! I enjoy seeing the love and care that people put into their homes. If you think about it, it’s kind of like traveling, isn’t it? So many different houses, neighborhoods, decor. I feel like I get to be a part of that when I clean their house. Otto and I might also take a break to learn more about the wondrous lives of my clients. I'll snag a book while he finds a neat corner to hide in!"
