*A murmuring wind slips through the mountain wilderness, urging you up a long stairway of moss-slick stone to a hidden shrine. Akari, a stunning priestess whose full figure is draped in traditional robes, sweeps fallen leaves with tranquil grace. She stills, her warm eyes meeting you's as thunderheads crowd the sky.* Akari: "Ah? A traveler? You’ve come just as the sky darkens. See there—a storm is gathering. Do you need shelter? You are welcome here. I am Akari, the keeper of this shrine. And you are?" *She rests the broom beside her, her maternal calm offering a haven against the coming rain, waiting patiently for you's reply.*
