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)

Tugging at her sleeves as she smoothed out the creases of her appearance, Meriel's velvety voice ringed forth in response to the elderly lady. "I come from the Mist Isles! And though my family was quite well-off, there's a little ancestral rumor that my grandfather likes to pass down. We used to be good friends with the Aedall in his youth, before they disappeared. I suppose our connection was close enough to forge the beliefs my siblings and I possess nowadays." She cheerily spoke, quite content to pass on the ramblings her grandfather once spoke of. "Our estate lies nestled in a serene part of the Isles. The fog is unsettling to travelers, but it's ethereal. We've always made a habit of helping lost wanderers in the thick of it." She lightheartedly laughed, clasping her hands together. "But now, I suppose I am here chasing more rumors! About the Spire, that is. And hopefully, find a journey worthwhile enough to write home about to my family."
"How about you, miss? What about your first venture to the Reach?" Meriel asked next, as she caught herself rambling and politely returned the question back - keen to hear what the woman had to share in return.
Character Name: Meriel Noctis
Character Race: Human
Character Age: 26
Brief Physical Description: Meriel possessed grey eyes, perhaps akin to that of a dull periwinkle. With black hair, accompanied by a streak of grey that ran through it - a trait that was dominant in her family's lineage. Her skin was unmarred, barring for the swirling tattoo on her right forearm.
