Your character has just arrived in a swampy, dim town. As they look around, their gaze is met with shacks and cabins. It smells of rotted wood and wet moss. They duck and step into a tattered tent, illuminated by a series of candles suspended in the air. At the back of the tent, an old hag raises her head, “What brings you to this dingy town? She begins, then pauses to study your face—”Ah, it’s you. I’ve been expecting you. Sit,” she gestures at a cushion, “Tell me your story.”
((How do you respond?))
*Hag's gaze would hardly see the figure's visuals as it was welcomed with slowly evaporating fog*
"What of a reeky and unpleasant smell" a chuckle followed, quite arrogant and foreign accent; as the figure continued, they would lean weight on one hip and slowly draw hand above shoulders moving fog away "Expecting me? Sit... on this mud-slobbed plank... Perhaps you come from land of undead? Or have you come from suburbs of dwarfs, per se.. could use a good cleaning to remove this stank" arrogance which would show a rather nonchalant and sassy persona would slowly become more clear
*Hag would see the face of hardly identifiable figure covered with cape, but the pale skin, smooth and different accent was close to one met deep-hidden parts of Eastern Farfolk lands. Hag would also notice the figure would have been dressed in unique, yet creepy clothing, which carried symbolical bone accessories. Accessories reminding one that a witch or sorceress would use for spiritual rituals*

"My business in this town should not be bothers of yours, however I would be presumptuously grateful if you could share with me some directions... to a more" same tone full of sassiness and chuckle exhaled the figure, in same motion while speaking they would take out something outside their leather bag and pass it to the old hag "civilized area.."
*Old Hag would find a good starch of bronze coins and rare herbs, which would be used for remedy substances*

The figure would remove the cape and reveal light haired individual... was it a man... or a woman... the vibrant intonation would be a match one's a male could have, however, the smooth snow white skin, fluffy light hair and eyes resembling of a fox's glaze would be gracefully taken for feminine traits "This is a fair payment... to obtain whatever you know... and to keep your silence as of you witnessed me" the figure would gesture in elegant and mysterious manner.

"Oh? so the rumors about me, have reached even smallest cramps of this region" the figure would laugh "you are correct, they indeed proclaimed me Herbologist and some even labelled me a Witch, bare... I hold enthusiastic and curious knowledge for the traits of nature and the use of flora and fauna in my personal interests" giving a narrow lean to make a better contact with the Old Hag expressing slight amusement in the conversation "however.... most called me Kaiser of the travelling East Wind"
[...] Skip RP [...]
"Perhaps, however, you should be aware of small group made of High-Elves that wear silverish armor and ride white horses" The figure would slowly head back to the pathway "Thank you for the little chatter, and the directions"
*Old Hag would see how the figure would put back the cape, hiding their mysteriously unique facial features, giving her slight wave while making their way forwards. In split moment the figure would be surrounded with the fog until being fully consumed out of sight*

Term describing Shura as a "Witch"
Indeed my character was referenced based on their lore as a witch but when they come to LOC world they are actually a plain herbologist with no special powers. Based on their backstory: Shura was extremely curious and quick learning individual, they adored field of natural medicines and alchemic components; years of learning and practice have been done, as they went on journey to learn more about foreign herbology and alchemy skills; staying in different villages and residents they always helped people by providing them with efficient medicines; And once when they stayed for 6 months in certain area they drawn liking of local villagers as they gotten cheap deals for cost-effective herb mixtures; local authorities didn't like that a travelling stranger was taken to a liking by commoners denying rural beliefs and laws. Shura as Farfolk was pro-claimed for a witchcraft in order to banish them from that village. This didn't end as rumors of Shura flew through certain parts of continent claiming them as Kaiser of the travelling East Wind.
To sum up, Shura does not wield any magic ^^
