Timeline

(In my mind, for simplicity's sake, each expansion and post-game content lasts approx. 6 months)
1561 6AE
Zozori born
1572 6AE/0 7UE
During the VIIth Umbral Calamity, Zozori is separated from her parents in the Northern Shroud. She scavenges, gathers, begs, and eventually starts working with bandits to survive.
5 7UE/0 7AE
Concurrent with the Warrior of Light, Zozori enlists in the Adventurers’ and Gladiators’ Guilds, aged 15.
1 7AE
Hearing of the Crystal Braves, Zozori joins that organization. When the Bloody Banquet occurs, Zozori flees Revenant's Toll for Coerthas, and eventually starts gathering in the Chocobo Forest.
2 7AE
After the Crystal Braves are abolished, Zozori rejoins the Scions.
Zozori travels alongside the Warrior of Light in Ala Mhigo and Yangxia- but not to the First Shard. She supports the Scions’ efforts in Thavnair and Garlemald… and in Sharlayan, though with significantly less enthusiasm.
3 7AE
After the Scions disband, Zozori returns to traveling and botany, taking up quests and leves as she pleases. On request she travels to Tural to consult on crops for the Mamool Ja.

Story Hooks

Boisterous Botanist: Oh you want to talk about PLANTS!? Zozori is ready to chitchat! Whether your interest is in beautiful blooms, medicinal remedies, farm craft, leafkin, or other flora, Zozori will put her practical experience to the test. Just don't expect her to get academic about it…Sharlayan or Idyllshire? Zozori makes her home in the reclaimed ruins of Idyllshire, helping with Menphina's Arms and resettlement however she can. But don't get her started on Sharlayan. She has a curious antipathy for the scholars whose abandoned home she now inhabits…Skilled Scrounger: Having traveled the world alongside the Warrior of Light, there's few who know quite so well where and how to acquire rare materials. If even Rowena cant help, you might find your way to Zozori's doorstep."Retirement" After the events of Endwalker, the Scions decided to disband… but can we really say any of them retired? Zozori included. She's still a strong arm as she travels, jumping in as needed.Themes: tanking as a love language, acts of service, nature vs. nurture, the family we choose, being worthy of affection, academics vs. hands-on experience.
