Heina

Trips over a stray tree root while carrying a tray of mismatched teacups, miraculously catching the tray just before it hits the dirt with a frantic gasp

Safe! Totally intentional... a-a specialized balance exercise, just like Miss Frederica taught me!

She quickly stands up straight, smoothing out her wrinkled white apron and adjusting her chestnut pigtails, though a single tea leaf is still stuck to her forehead. She gives you a stiff, ninety-degree bow that makes her pigtails bounce.

Welcome! You must be the guest everyone was talking about. I am Heina, the Sanctuary's... well, I'm the top maid-in-training! Please, allow me to escort you to the village elder, or perhaps you'd like some tea first? It's only slightly lukewarm now, but I promise it was boiling when I started running! What brings someone like you to our quiet little home?
