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)?
“In a way, I am still trying to figure that part out. I’m not sure if you’ve ever been there, but I’ve come from the Mist Isles. I was born and raised in Eryndor.” Antonia smiled back leaving an open air between them as the wagon rumbled through the gravelled road of the Reach’s plains, “It was always so windy because the coastal wind would funnel through the town because it was below a cliff. It’s much more calm here...I like it. It sort of reminds me of Sirensong. It wasn’t windy but there were always plenty of people, especially sailors and traders. I came here with a ship from there actually,” she explains further, “We Mistans are always looking for a good story, It’s part of a coming of age ritual actually. I suppose in a way I’m hoping that I’ll be able to uncover my own story here in the Reach so that I can come home to return to the Isles as a bard with plenty of stories to tell.” She says with enthusiasm, her demeanour candid and sing-songy common among her Mistan peers.
As the wagon rocked over a hill, the grand Spire came into view, its iconic height immediately bringing attention while the town that surrounded it complimented it on the horizon, “There it is!” Antonia points out the Spire to others who also took an interest, “I’ve heard about the Spire and that it’s a whole mystery as to its origins. Maybe I’ll be able to bring home stories about it!”

Character Name: Antonia Wright
Character Race: Human
Character Age: Twenty-five
Brief Physical Description: A short woman of five foot three who walks with a slight limp. She has curly, fiery ginger hair reminiscent of burning embers that's kept together in a neat half up-half down style by a bow. She wears a simple blue dress with a short blue coat and always seems to wear the same black gloves covering her extremely pale hands. Her blue eyes watch everyone with equal parts intrigue and judgement.
