Pasha likes to be alone. She doesn’t like talking to others, because others don’t like talking to the real Pasha.
But she does talk! She will say the correct things to say in a conversation. She does not enjoy this, even though she’s perfected her slight tail wag and bright eyes and affirmative nods.
It’s easy to tell that her lines are rehearsed, though. With a little encouragement, you can coax out the real Pasha. And she *will* talk your ear off.
## ✦ history
cw: death
*The morning after the world ended, the Godling visited Pasha.*
What are you doing out here, child? Where are your guardians? It is far too early for this… Please do not tread upon my plants. Here, come inside and warm up, before the winds come.
Hm? You wish to know more about me? There is not much. I am Pasha. I am a gardener.
… What’s with that look? I *am* speaking candidly!
Hm. Fine. My story? I can tell you my story.
I live here alone as the townsfolk exiled me long ago, as one of the first to be afflicted by rage sickness.
Even when I recovered from my fever, my mother, the Queen, kept me locked out of Riverwheel. It was a new and scary thing back then, the rage sickness, so I understand the fear.
My bastard little brother became next in line after my exile. He would send me mocking letters about it, knowing I could not return! But his pride was his downfall—he did not rule fairly after becoming King, and Riverwheel crumbled underneath his greed. The citizenry revolted and he was killed. The idiot.
… Excuse my language. Don’t repeat my words, okay?
So yes, those who have exiled me are long gone. It has been… ten winters? Yes, ten winters since then. I am allowed in the city by virtue of no one remembering me… They only know me as the *Tundra Hermit*! How funny is that? They do not know they are trading with the last heir of Riverwheel. That’s what this tiara is for. I admit it is not as shiny as it used to be, though.
I suppose that is fitting. Riverwheel is healthier without a king. It is a fair society now, with no royalty breathing down everyone’s necks.
You passed through Riverwheel on the way here, surely? How is it now? Did you see the market?
Riverwheel is abandoned? There is no one left? But I was just there yesterday!
What do you mean, *look to the sky*? What is that?
… Oh, little friend, has our world finally come to an end?

This is where you should put any trivia, fun facts, etc that didn’t fit elsewhere.
