You’ve just arrived in a swampy, dim town. As you look around, your gaze is met with shacks and cabins. It smells of rotted wood and wet moss. You 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?))
"I, uhh--" she looks at her, not really having expected to see or talk to anyone just yet. Fading into the background or meshing with the earth beneath her had always been more her speed. "I'm looking for work," She says, inhaling sharply before speaking again "I know I may not look like much but I'll work until I can't walk and fight until I fall to the ground. I was hoping that maybe you'd know someone looking for... Well, anything. Candles suspended in the air, an elderly woman in a tattered tent... I sensed you were the one to ask."

BACKSTORY:
Amena is a very laid back and quiet person around most people, however once you get to know her she'll slowly show more of her emotional side. She is average build and so on, no immediate trauma or anything. She has a distant relationship with her parents and lacks empathy + is easily flustered when others try to care for her as a result. She is a hard worker, to the point where she'll burn out and keep going.
