Yingmei flinched and shrunk away from Akitsugu, clutching her hoe tightly, prepared to deliver a swift beating to this brute if he so much as dared to try or do anything. A moment of silence passed as Yingmei would process what this stranger had said.

"Eh? You're...not a bandit? Or divine karmic wrath here to punish me...?" Yingmei relaxed slightly, her grip loosening on her hoe as she'd look Akitsugu up and down. He was definitely human. Not some sort of spooky creature...and she didn't feel like he was some divine servant here to drag her to the afterlife for her dereliction and failure of duty. It seemed she would live another day.

"I-i've been traveling awhile myself and I got lost in that swamp and I'm just a little on edge. T-that is to say yes I'm a traveler." She would take a few deep breaths, shoulders slumping slightly as she'd finally let go of the death grip she had on her farming implement. "Sorry about that...U-uhm...Y-yingmei. M-my name that is. Yingmei. So you...aren't from this village either? H-hm..." Maybe this place was cursed? Was it was drawing people into it to drag them into the depths of the underworld? No, no, she was being silly. There was no way that was possible. Definitely not. "Eheh, I guess, uhm, that means we're both new here? I thought I saw other people around when I was on my way in, especially that uhm, loud display from above...are you with them?"

She wasn't sure what to make of this. Two travelers arriving in a rundown village was a coincidence. Any more was just a little odd, and not in the good way.

"Geeeh..." Amidst the trees and muddy, muggy water of the swamp, something was moving and making a sound vaguely similar to that of perhaps, a croaking frog. A ghost? A specter? A ravenous monster? Or the pained, mildly frightened cries of a pure maiden that had somehow gotten lost amidst the swamps? "Oh...mmngh...ooh, I hope I can find...something soon-" Something nearby splashed in a pool of swampy water. She froze on the spot, eyes darting around before a relieved sigh left her mouth. "-or maybe I shouldn't find anything at all yes that seems better..."

Her pace quickened. It was probably nothing. Definitely not some scary witch or a monster that wanted a quick snack, definitely not. Such things did not exist, and that definitely wasn't her just trying to convince herself of that fact. Ugh, she really should have continued on with that merchant that she was traveling with. He could have at least warned her that a swamp was in that direction! She'd have went around it! Or gave up on this entire idea entirely of traveling. She could find a nice farm somewhere else! Settle down! Become famous for her potatoes or something!

She tripped and stumbled on a gnarled, twisted tree root.

"Weeeh...O-okay Mei...you can do this. The swamp can't go on forever. Trees are friends and water is good for crops...it can't hurt you..." She held her hoe firmly in her hands as she walked. Well, about as firmly as a frightened child might cling to the arm of their mother. The head of the hoe rested against her shoulder while the haft would drag lightly along the muddy, damp ground. "I-I can just...bonk...anything that comes after me. Definitely...Nothing is as scary as the cemetery back home..."

A branch snapped above, something splashing into the water behind her seconds later.

A shriek echoed through the swamp.

---

"Ugh, finalyyyy...civilization..." She was tired. She was hungry. The hem of her dress was lightly dirty with mud from where she had tripped and fell, her boots were also covered in swamp mud and water, and she was never getting the taste of that swampy water out of her mouth. After having a very close encounter with being eaten by some unseen monster, the swamp hadn't lasted much longer, giving way to rolling fields and hills that she was more than happy to travel through. She was even more happy when she had seen what looked like a village from the top of a hill. She however, still could not shake the swamp from her mind. "Uugh, I probably look like some scary swamp monster...maybe I should just...go back...become one with the swamp...that's where I belong...become swamp farmer witch..."

She lightly slapped the sides of her face and took a deep breath. She couldn't think like that. Her travels had been good for the past year. Alone, too! A little more wouldn't be any worse then when she started.

The gods had seemed fit to bless her with fortune, too. A village! Or at least, something that resembled it. It looked a bit run down, but she could see people here -

Oh. What if they were bandits or specters the gods sent to punish her for running away?

Her grip clenched on her hoe again. S-she could purify them just like last time, too! No, the chances of them being bad were low! They didn't look like the rough sorts that would be! And ghosts looked much scarier...well, unless they were just trying to lure her into a false sense of security...? Maybe she should just get close enough to see, first. Sneak a little closer and see what was going on about. Yes, that seemed like a good idea. So, bravely, Yingmei would approach the village, taking the first step past the village's boundaries, walking quietly through the rundown looking buildings.

Was it just a rundown village? She was certain she saw other people here, but at the same time, this place seemed like it had been abandoned for a long time or at least like the population was dwindling. The soil seemed good from a glance, though, and the more she walked and looked around the more she felt comfortable. A weight, lifted off her shoulders and heart. Like she could breathe easier. Like she didn't have to keep running....

So caught up in her thoughts, she did not hear the sound of Yasunami's footsteps nearby as she'd round the corner of a building, nearly and almost running into the larger man by the time she even realized there was someone else there.

"HAEH!?" She'd shout, stumbling away from Akitsugu. "Swamp water and mud not delicious rice!"

Her words failed her slightly as she'd attempt proclaim to taste like swamp water and mud, not delicious rice.

A New Day; Cozy Fantasy Village Life

Farmer Gal

Name: Yingmei Okudaira
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Race: Human

Appearance:

Height: 5'4 (162.56cm)
Eye Color: Green
Hair Color: Green

Description:
Yingmei is someone with somewhat shorter stature and of similar presence. So little, perhaps that she could be mistaken for a ghost despite being dressed in dark greens and clearly wearing garb of a foreign land. Typically she wears a fairly formal looking dress and comfortable looking shoes. She mostly is well kept and has a neat appearance, save for her somewhat constantly worried expression as though she's about to be jumped by something.

Personality:
Mei, is an absolute mess. Her talents in agriculture and supposed spiritual matters aside, she is a complete scaredy cat that finds it difficult to speak up in situations. Still, she's extremely passionate about her craft and despite her timidness she displays a surprising amount of courage about most things and tries not to let her unreasonable amount of dread and believing the fact that she is indeed, cursed, stop her from trying to do good.

For the most part she's friendly, and tries to get along well with others.

Just don't harm a plant in her vicinity or you shall receive divine wrath from her watering can. She can be surprisingly spunky and confident when it comes to such things she cares about such as plants, agriculture, and the nature of the human soul and gods and spirits.

Quirks:
List one or more peculiar traits or habits of your character.
- Attributes bad things to being cursed and bad luck, or alternatively, the wrath of an angry god.
- Has a habit of randomly handing out good luck charms to people to prevent them from befalling a terrible fate.
- Collects bugs, because they're 'cute'.
- Might go off on a philosophical tangent.

Brief History:
Mei hails from a mountainous country far to the east of the hamlet. A place that is quite isolated from the rest of the world with deep valleys, mountains that would take days or weeks to traverse. Her town was a little place situated right at the base of a large mountain. One where supposedly the god that the people worshipped lived. A god of agriculture and rain. A god that blessed the village with purifying rain and an abundance of crops, so long as they performed festivals and rites in its name.

This, was once upon a time the life Mei was born into. The daughter of the previous priestess and a traveler who happened settle down there. She was expected to take over as the caretaker and duties of caring for the shrine, conducting rites and handling spiritual affairs to ensure the crops were abundant and the weather was pleasant. Unfortunately, a series of mishaps and generally things not going well such as a famine followed by a drought quickly soured peoples opinions towards her.

They began to speak as though she was 'cursed' or at least, unfit for the role. She too, began to believe this slightly when she began to feel as though she needed to leave, or at least she no longer belonged here. Perhaps it was her being a coward. Perhaps she truly did feel the writing was on the wall.

But she ran away, one night, taking only a handful of seeds and essentials with her.

She ran, and ran, and ran, across the continent for nearly a year and eventually, where she found a small, rundown Hamlet. For some reason, it made her feel safe.

-- Skills/Spells, Stats & Items ---

Occupation: Farmer

Social Status: Priestess

Skills:
- Farming (Expert): A skilled farmer and understands many agricultural principles such as crop rotation, soil health, and most basic things and the tools of the trade.

- Botany (Adept): A good farmer needs to understand and be able to identify plants and crops that could be useful for growing or that may be edible or have other uses beyond consumption. She at least, has a fairly decent knowledge of plants.

- Athletics (Novice): A summation of skills relating to cardio and physical exertion. A good farmer, needs good stamina and physical ability. Mei, is a hundred percent lacking in that area. Yes, she is probably a bit better than most commoners that don't have such an ability but she definitely needs improvement to run a good farm.

Equipment:
- Copper Watering can
- Copper Hoe
- Simple backpack
- Rice Seeds
- Potato Seeds
- Camellia Seeds (for tea)
- Wheat Seeds

Spells:
Spells? She doesn't know any spells...at least, not ones of any respectable nature.
- Purify (Novice): Creates a small area around herself that briefly banishes low level evil spirits or at least harms them in some way. She doesn't know if it actually works, but it makes her feel better whenever she uses it. It definitely isn't just an old spell her mom gave her to make her less afraid of spooky scary things.

Yep

I didn't really want her to have magic, at least to start with. Any fighting/magic she does will will definitely need to be learned.
