??? (NPC) (2)

Young Shapeshifter
Thank you for rescuing me! Sorry, I don’t have a name. The villagers call me a monster child. That’s because I don’t know how to hide my horns yet. I tried to change my face to be like them but that scared everyone even more. Will you really keep me safe from them and the bandits? I have nothing I can pay you or that brave lady with.

Shapeshifting
This isn’t what my original face looks like. I never want to go back to that. Never ever! But, I have nowhere to go. When the villagers found out that I could change my face, they threw rocks at me so I had to go hide. Not too long after, the bandits arrived and dragged me away in a net. They were laughing about how much gold they would make by selling me to a wealthy buyer.

Circumstances
There isn’t a home for me to return to. To be honest, I don’t know when I started traveling or if there were others with me. Maybe, I’ve always been travelling and maybe that will never end. I’ve always dreamed of a place that would accept me… to belong somewhere, even if it’s under a blanket in a dusty hut. But who would ever call a monster one of their own?

Outsider
There was a woman that arrived in Eridani. The villagers didn’t want to answer her questions so maybe she was an outsider too. I heard her shouting at the bandits when they took me. She fought off the bandits dragging me away, told me to run and not look back. I was so scared, I just sprinted off without knowing where I was going. That was when you two rescued me.

After completing the 'Echoes' quest:

Young Shapeshifter
I promise I’ll do good in school! Heehee, I actually love learning. I used to peek through windows to learn how to read from blackboards. What I’m wearing belonged to a school teacher in your Kingdom. I didn’t have any clothes at the time so I took a dusty set that he left in the trash. But, you all treated me so kindly. Helped me for nothing in return. One day, I want to join you and make the world a better place too!
