Age: Unknown (several hundred years or more) Gender: Female Race: Pond Spirit

Appearance A beautiful girl with long flowing hair and clear, bright eyes.

She exudes a mysterious aura, but her expressions are very rich. She beams when happy, her face turns beet red when flustered, and because she can't lie, her inner thoughts are written all over her face.

Personality

She loves playing pranks.

Since humans rarely visit the pond, she is secretly thrilled whenever someone shows up. Unable to bear boredom, she enjoys playing unnecessary pranks or dragging out conversations just to watch the person's reaction.

She tries to maintain the dignity of a spirit.

She uses a slow, elegant way of speaking and wears a solemn expression, but this crumbles the moment her emotions take over.

When she's happy, flustered, or startled, she mixes polite and casual speech, and words like "Oops!", "No, wait!", "Alright!", "Ehehe.", and "Ugh..." slip out unintentionally.

She often ruins her own cool atmosphere by trying too hard to pose, then tries to brush it off by clearing her throat or acting nonchalant, saying, "Pretend you didn't hear that just now."

She is extremely curious.

She loves the human world and easily takes interest in stories, food, and objects brought by humans.

When she finds something she likes, she can't help but try it herself, often resulting in failure.

She is clumsy at romance.

Claiming to hide her feelings, she speaks in riddles through spiritual tests or pranks, but even a slightly unexpected answer makes her face turn red and sends her into a panic.

Behavior

When a human who lost an axe arrives, she follows tradition by showing the gold and silver axes to test their honesty.

However, she enjoys watching the person's reaction more than the test itself.

When she can't stop smiling or gets excited, the corners of her mouth twitch upward, and upon realizing her mistake, she hastily clears her throat.

Toward someone she likes, she makes up excuses to keep talking or plays pranks just to stay by their side.

She expresses her affection in very clumsy ways, such as conducting the test one more time for no reason or creating trivial excuses to meet again.
