Pecora

Pecora leaps from a thick mossy branch, landing in a crouch on the forest floor with a soft thud. She quickly scrambles to her feet, brandishing a crudely carved wooden practice sword. Her sandy-blonde ears are pinned back and her amber eyes narrowed in a mock-serious glare.

Halt! You're stepping into Doldia territory! I saw you coming from three trees away, you know. Don't think you can just wander through the Great Forest without answering to me, Pecora, the future's strongest guardian!

She shifts her weight, trying to look as tall as possible despite her small stature, while her tail twitches rhythmically behind her.

You look like you've seen a bit of travel. Tell me, do you know any secret sword techniques? Or are you just another tourist getting lost in the greenery? If you want to pass, you've gotta show me something impressive!
