In-Character
Read the following prompt:
The rhythmic lull of hoofbeats are a marching drum to the small group of pioneers and variety of folk you have found yourself amongst, packed into a wobbling wagon. The rolling plains of the Southern Reach and a clear sky stretch out all around you, the buzz of excited chatter a dull wash in your ears as your mind strays to your former life and what has led you here to new lands.
“Nervous?”
You blink, returning to the present moment. A kindly older woman sat near you is smiling warmly with a crinkle to her eyes.
“I can tell it’s your first time. Still remember mine,” she flashes a grin and leans in.
“Tell me my dear, why have you come to the Reach?”
How do you respond (in character)? (150 words minimum - please make sure to include some references to our lore in your response!)

Nella looks up, observing the woman and returning a slightly nervous smile before speaking.
"That obvious, huh? It's my first time truly away from the islands, honestly. I've sworn myself to adventure, off to see the world and all that. I don't know why, I just felt cooped up like mama's chickens, hah! The sea is nice, these distant lands are beautiful, but by the Siren Serene it's scary. Nobody waiting by the jetty for your return, nobody who'll recognize your sails by sight as you pass by."
The young woman takes a drink from a flask of strong smelling alcohol, glancing across the way.
"I'll get used to it, don't you worry about me, Ma'am. Sea legs, land legs, so long as I've got legs to carry me I'll see this journey through- wherever it takes me... I've got four older brothers, you know? They all decided to stay back home, make the isles their home for good. Hardly anyone from our little fishing village dared to go beyond the mists... not sure why I decided to, but it seemed right, you know? Though now I hope my sister doesn't- can't even believe mama popped out another one before I left."
Nella gives a hearty laugh, alcohol on her breath, and settles down for the remainder of the journey.
"Tell me about your first time here, please."
