I. Getting to Know You(r New Character)
A. Brushing Up on the Lore

[To step inside the Grand Library, she's immediately reminded of two idiots who'd have enjoyed this trip far more than her. Picking up a book isn't something she'd typically do on her own, but she doesn't have much of a choice here. This isn't a situation where she already knows what she needs to. While she already has a few ideas about the person who's role she's filling, thanks to the addition of what feels like seven tons of hair, what she knows doesn't tell her much.

Too bad extra height wasn't a part of the deal. Even someone small like her doesn't trust that ladder.

Luckily she's not the only one who's come here recently. So she's going to take a deep breath and then turn around, looking for the nearest person that's come here looking for a book, like her.
]

...excuse me. Could you get that book for me, pretty please?

[She's doing her best.]

II. Halloween Festival
B. Wild Jack o'Lanterns

[The town is in chaos in several different aspects. It doesn't take long to learn that the decorations should be viewed with caution. But that's when they're just being annoying. When they start spewing fire, seeds and pumpkin guts among other things, even Edna can't just sit back and ignore it.Least of all the giant pumpkin golems.]

My umbrella would be really useful right about now.

[Ah, yes. A salty hero. Oh well. Nothing that can be done about that right now. With an over-exaggerated sigh, she raises her voice.]

Hey. You. With the rotting head.

[Well, at least she still has her witty battle commentary.]

Watch where you step.

[Ah... it's foot is on her hair, which just barely trails on the floor. With a fiesty yank, she pulls it back and-- sets the golem off balance rather easily. Everyone nearby should probably hurry out of the way if you want to avoid being potentially splattered with flying pumpkin, when it hits the ground-- or worse, having it fall on you.]

IV.Exploring the Index
A. House Hunting

[Where was this thing taking her? The tracking feature was nice enough, but it wasn't very well done. She realized that quickly enough when it brought her straight to the edge of a large lake, which it pointed right through. Her face instantly soured.]

You know I can't swim, right.

[It's not a question, really.

Although... she's not quite herself anymore. Maybe she can swim-- but is that really something she should try? She certainly doesn't feel any less uneasy about the water standing here. But it's a really long way around and there's no telling what else she may have to go through if she diverts her path.
]

If I die, this is all your fault.

[Wait, she's going in?!?

...well touching the water doesn't make her want to die. But--

She did learn a few things. The key being-- She still can't swim. This has to be a record for quickest and stupidest Aspect death. Unless maybe you want to help a sputtering, long-haired "princess" out?
]

D. Shopping Around

...they're all like this, aren't they?

[Edna is girly. She happens to like her dress from home very much. But the dresses of a princess are very different from the cute and easily managed dress she's accustomed to. It doesn't stop her from trying one or two on. Neither are terrible but--]

If it was fifteen inches shorter I could deal with this.

[Is she going to have to learn to sew?]
