Nitowikwe is a non-playable character in Final Fantasy XIV. She is the driver of the Xak Tural Railing and the Wawlika's wife.
History
After an earthquake damaged the tracks, train service was suspended. While Shenza explained the situation to the passengers, Erenville and the Warrior of Light volunteered to help with the repairs. Shenza happily introduced them to Nitowikwe and the other members of the Xak Tural Railing.[1]
The volunteers accompanied Wawlika to the village of Mehwahhetsoan in search of wood to repair the tracks. Since they received more wood than expected, Wawlika prepared a cargo rroneek and called on Shenza and Zawpya to assist. While Erenville and the Warrior of Light waited, the repairs were finally completed, and the train was able to depart for Yyasulani. Upon arriving at Yyasulani Station, Nitowikwe watched as passengers disembarked safely, including Namikka. On the return journey to Shaaloani, Nitowikwe heard a thunderous noise coming from the direction of the station she had just left, but when she looked back, all she could see was a dark dome covering the entire region.[2]
The companions of the Xak Tural Railing arrived to investigate and were relieved to find that both Shenza and the locomotive were safe. Using a telescope to observe the dome, they spotted a massive fortress-like structure stretching along its edge, with soldiers moving in and out. Upon returning to Sheshenewezi Springs, they encountered the Warrior of Light and their allies discussing how best to infiltrate the dome. Shenza reported the possible entry point she had seen, and Wuk Lamat proposed a direct assault on the site.
Wawlika supported Wuk Lamat's plan, adding that since the fortress sat atop the tracks, they could use the train to destroy it. Shenza initially refused to sacrifice the locomotive. However, after hearing words from Zawpya and Nitowikwe—who argued that some things were more important than the train and that it could be rebuilt later—Shenza agreed to the plan. Nitowikwe volunteered to pilot the train.[3]
After everyone worked tirelessly, Shenza announced that the "Dawnblazer" was complete. As planned, the fuel-laden locomotive sped toward the fortress at full force. Moments before impact, Nitowikwe and everyone aboard leapt from the train. The collision triggered a massive explosion, breaching the stronghold and opening a path for the Warrior of Light's party to enter the dome. Nitowikwe watched as they stormed the fortress, before making her way back to Shaaloani alone.[4]
