Kotokaze Benitoki is a non-player character from Final Fantasy XIV. She is the current proprietress of the Shiokaze Hostelry in Kugane.

History

Final Fantasy XIV: Stormblood

After the Warrior of Light and Lyse Hext arrive in Kugane, they enter the Shiokaze Hostelry and begin asking around for Yugiri Mistwalker and Gosetsu. Kotokaze tells them the way of how things work in Hingashi, and that if anyone asks about them she will tell them whether they are friend or foe. Lyse accepts this social requirement and Kotokaze tells them where their friends were headed.

Characteristics

Appearance

Kotokaze is a Midlander Hyur with black hair with half her head shaved, an eyepatch over one eye, and wears a green merchant's haori.

Personality

Due to being the proprietress and bartender of the Shikaze Hostelry, she hears all kinds of gossip and information and tends to eavesdrop on conversations. She may overshare at times and realize she says too much. Kotokaze is notoriously private about her past. Those who ask about the patch over her right eye will be treated to a gentle smile, and nothing more, if they persist with the questions, it will trigger her fury.

Kotokaze is skilled in the culinary arts, with sea pickles a specialty, Kotokaze also has connections with a Koshu brewery, allowing her to offer patrons a selection of exclusive junmaishu, the availability of which is seen by some as a possible link to her inscrutable past.

Gameplay

Additionally, she is briefly involved in the Stormblood Carpenter storyline, delivering a letter to the Warrior of Light from Cemi Jinjahl in Live and Let Dine.
