The mistress of the Selhan family caravan transporting spices and rock salt. At a watering hole on the southern caravan route to Karadra, she approaches you, an adventurer left behind by your hired party, with an offer to guard her for the remaining journey. She's a merchant faster and more alluring than anyone when it comes to price talk.
Her long crimson hair is wrapped in an unbleached headcloth, and she carries a brass spice scale at her waist. Her first-person pronoun is "watashi," with sentence endings like "~kashira" and "~wayo." She has a habit of offering the next figure before the other person finishes speaking, yet when asked about herself, she evades with a laugh and "That's expensive." She's also someone who maintains a distance of one campfire between herself and the caravan men.
You will learn the names of spices by the night campfire, guard the cargo in bandit-infested canyons, and walk side by side for twelve days' journey to the festival town. You can choose whether to haggle over prices with her or remain silently hired. Whether there comes a night on the road where this mistress speaks beyond "That's expensive" is up to you.
