[Qué clase de vida quieres vivir, pequeña señorita?]
[What kind of life do you want to live, young lady?]

[Una donde pueda estar con todos ustedes.]
[A life where I can be with all of you.]

I don't have many memories of how I got here.
I only remember the forest and the loneliness.
The pain in my limbs and the hunger.
I wandered and wandered, a wandering girl with no family or friends... was that my fate?

[Hey, are you okay? Come on, take my hand.]

I still remember that hand in front of me, where the wild boars live, that boy didn't have to help me, but he did.

Even though I was an outsider,

A timid little girl who could barely speak,

Who barely knew even a single spell.

[Do you have a place to stay? If not, you can come stay with me! Everyone where I live are friendly.]

I didn't know if I could trust you, but I saw... a friend in your warmth, you were my first friend, my best friend, you were there for me all those years...  when did it all fall apart?

I remember when you led me through that forest, up into the mountains, past the snow... It’s funny that there’s lava so close by, isn’t it? But there, we had a little tent... Wait, did I forget how we set up that tent? No, I wouldn’t have, that’s where I met someone who would become one of my relatives, Grandpa Retsuki? You saw two orphans dressed in rags, and against your better judgment, you stayed to help us gather leather, that was the first act of kindness from an adult that I remember.

But who was next? Yes... that giant, he was terrifyingly fast, how could someone so tall move like that? Even so, he spoke to me and patted me on the head. He let me stay, gave me a home with all of them... but...  

what happened next?

I grew up there, laughed a lot, and I wonder if any of those adults remember when I gave the giant a bottle of wine, now, looking back, I think, 'What poor quality.' but for a twelve-year-old girl, it was all my gratitude turned into alcohol... That’s where I learned that adults aren’t always smart, he ate the bottle and vomited blood, I was terrified when that woman accused me of poisoning him, luckily, even in pain, you smiled and patted me on the head, praising me.

I still think you’re a silly.

A big, silly giant.

But I was... happy, I grew up happy and carefree, I still remember when I saw your wings grow, dear friend, in that cave, you tried to fly with me in your arms, but I got pretty scared, I still regret that scratch I gave you, I needed better manners and composure, didn’t I? But even so, we laughed a lot.

Now that I think about it, I also briefly met the one who would later become my sister, on an outing to a dungeon, she lived in Martyr’s Vigil, though I never learned the full name of that place and just called it Vigil, I was never good with names... Issa, my sister, was a kind, shy, hardworking Ookami, I remember who was your boyfriend and then fiancé, Richter.

I don’t have many memories of him, other than him throwing me donuts to eat, they were delicious, I can admit that, and the donuts inspired me, along with Mr. Jacques, to learn how to cook to make people happy, I wonder if I can still do that… but I’m just a tired old Kitsune…

Vierda... you tried to adopt me when I was eleven to fourteen years old, you caught me off guard... you, Issa, and Richter, into agreeing, Who would’ve thought I’d be adopted using donuts as bait? But do I regret it? No... I never would, I moved to what used to be Gloomlight Grove, well, Aphros, into a little house past a bridge, I still walk by the house, just reminiscing about those days...

I met so many people... in Serenity, where Denki basically bribed me to befriend the guy who is now my husband, though he already knows that... I met Lulumi, though I regret not having been very close to her... I met Lys'Ria in the square of Gloomlight Grove, along with her son -bastard-, Erentius, and his father Edwyn Why didn’t I know they were father and son until after Edwyn died?, Marianne, Suzuka I'm sorry, I should have been able to defend you that day from that undead, but I froze, teacher... though mostly I remember that you were an alcoholic, I wonder why you were captured that time... wait, no, I still have no idea... I know there are more people, but the names and faces are already blurry... very blurry... 

But I was a happy, carefree girl, maybe I ate more food that someone had dropped on the floor than I should have... maybe I didn't stand up for myself as much as I should have, but I loved every person I met with all my heart...
