It'd actually be something of a stretch to say that Toraal came from the mountains. In truth, her origins are unknown even to her, as she was adopted into the Angura Tribe along with her sister, Soqara. Although Raen by blood, the two were given Xaela names and raised with Xaela traditions, and so did the story of Toraal Angura begin.

Opposite though they were in personalities and interests, the two sisters still managed to get along. Soqara, who was known to be an unruly and steely youth, trained tooth and nail to become a warrior, who would then brave Bardam's Mettle. In the meanwhile, the hearty and easygoing Toraal made frequent trips to the little fishing village of Isari, where she discovered a passion for fishing and sailing. At the end of their days, Toraal and Soqara would share about their discoveries in their respective interests while teaching their skills to each other.

One day would come when the sisters and their family were attacked by members of a hostile tribe. The Angura were smaller in number, and though the odds were against their favor that day, Soqara stayed back to fight against the Xaela who had encroached upon their camp. Toraal wanted to flee to safety with their family, but couldn't leave her sister behind. The two sisters ended up fighting side by side, and though they didn't survive unscathed, they managed to escape death that fateful day.

The sisters were opened to a new perspective on life after the onslaught. Soqara sought to train more rigorously so that one day, she could fight more readily to protect the tribe, and even retaliate against the one that had attacked them. Unable to convince Soqara otherwise, Toraal wished for a less vengeful way of life, enjoying fighting only for the purposes of hunting or sparring. It was then that the two sisters would split paths.

The journey into the Azim Steppe was the first chapter of Toraal's new life as an adventurer. She thought it best to hone her survival and combat skills before making a trip across the sea, so she trained with different tribes, as well as different individuals, and began making friends along the way. When she finally sailed to Eorzea, it was the farthest Toraal had ever traveled from home, and with her, she carried a dream of catching all of the different types of fish in Hydaelyn.

As her path continues towards becoming a master angler, Toraal has met incredible people with whom she has become cherished friends. She currently resides in Limsa Lominsa where she spends most of her time fishing or working at her pride and joy, The Boathouse Bistro. As each day passes, the Au Ra looks forward to meeting more people and experiencing new waters, but there are times when she can't help but wonder about how her sister is faring, and if she made a mistake in becoming an adventuring fisher, instead of being a protector for the tribe that took her in.
