Aaya the Fiddler Fox

[nijibug]

The Mystery of Adalance opened its doors to everyone. In return, it offered nothing more than what one could give to oneself. And therefore Aaya was already a genius when she first stepped into its halls.

Aaya is a musical child prodigy. She was raised by her mother and grandmother, and they traveled along the frontier of the Water realm as migrant workers. An applecart, a rainy day, and an accidental encounter found Aaya's family a new home and new opportunities. Aaya is rarely seen without her trusty fishing pole and gourd-shaped vielle. She goes on a quest to find Eirendi because the older girl promised that they would meet again.
