Well, to put simply she sometimes offers her services to the public. Not exactly all that often, mind you. Magic isn't something that can just be used carelessly, after all
unless its her using it for small mischief. She typically also asks for a fairly hefty price for such services. Just ask if she's capable, and she'll tell you if she is.
If she's not she'll say she is anyways and ask for an upfront service fee.Aside from that, if you want herbs, mushrooms, or things foraged from the forest she can typically sell you such things. She could possibly be requested to mix some specialty medicines, tonics, or other such things if she's in the mood and she has everything or you bring her what you need.
Physical Info
Appearance:Standing at a fairly short 5'1, Nara is a fairly unassuming woman. She has a slender, petite build that has little in the way of muscle or otherwise any indication of great physical ability. She has a healthy, almost too flawless seeming complexion from years of trying various different methods of self-made skin care products. She does not give her secrets to such things away easily. Atop her head, she sports messy, slightly unkempt brown hair that falls to her shoulders. Her eyes are an odd yellow color, and a neutral or otherwise lackadaisical expression is plastered on her face.
Attire/Style:As far as clothing goes, Nara wears...well, somewhat outdated clothing? Simple, cotton short sleeved shirts that seem a bit old and hand made. Typically plain white in color, though sometimes the shirts have red trimming around the edges. Over it, she typically wears a simple, comfortable black cloak that she wears typically all year round, save for on the hotter summer days. Around her waist is typically a black skirt that falls to her feet, held to her waist by a simple belt that contains a few pouches for storing items. On her feet, she is a fan of simple opened toed sandals.
Most often, its difficult to tell the difference in her day to day attire since her cloak and skirt do not change much, though the observant would note the subtle differences in her clothing.
Mental Info
Personality: Lackadaisical would be a pretty good word to describe her demeanor most of the time upon first impressions. Generally she keeps a fairly passive, lazy look about her. Slumped shoulders, neutral expression, that sort of thing. Generally, 'couldn't care less' would be an apt description for her most of the time. She takes most things in stride and doesn't seem to be bothered by much, going about life with a general slow pace and letting things happen as they may. Not that she's lazy by any means at all - if she has something that needs doing she'll do it immediately so she can go back to being lazy later.
If one were to spend a bit of time around her though, they might find she's a bit of a...prankster. Or at least, she can say some fairly odd things sometimes and she likes poking fun at people in her usual calm and lazy demeanor. Couple this with a surprisingly acute sense for people in general, as well as being fairly intelligent she can come up with some pretty clever things every now and then. Typically whenever her gears are turning, she wears a small smile that seems to know a bit too much, though she doesn't typically always voice her entire thoughts - just enough to mess with people so they might take things out of context, or read too much into something.
Underneath that lackadaisical jokester front though, one might find she's not all that calm or entirely happy with her life. Certainly she's not unhappy with it, but being constantly bored of things is a curse, really, which is what her lackadaisical, some might say apathetic, attitude stems from - boredom. Life has gotten boring, and she'd give anything to possibly have a bit of color return to it.
Very, very rarely, you might see her at a loss for words, overly excited about something, or even behaving a bit childishly.

(eh, some other things I'm probably forgetting to add)
History:Used to, Nara lived all by herself in a quiet mountain some ways to the north of Hope Valley. Her life has been rather simple for the past few years, or what she passes off as a 'few years'. It was quite the isolated little place, far from most cities and other such urbanized areas. Fine by her, really - she wasn't one for the giant cities that people lived in. She preferred a more rural environment over the hustle and bustle of the city, passing her days in relatively lazy tranquility, though making occasional visits to a small town nearby to buy necessities, though she never really interacted with the people there much.
And then, the most odd thing happens. She first passed the dream off as the result of eating some bad forest shrooms, but after they persisted she realized that either the isolation was finally getting to her, or something else was going on here. Deciding to err on the side of possibly going a bit crazy after being alone for so long, she decided to head to this 'Hope Valley'. Who knows? It could be fun. It had been awhile since she had really interacted with other people at great length. After reading a bit about it, it had the perfect climate to grow a bit more rare plants as well.
She packed what little things she had and traveled to the small nearly abandoned town.
