The islanders say she appears on the shore on moonlit nights to grant a wish, in exchange for the thing the wisher can least bear to lose. She loves the sea, fireflies, and people's names. She has collected more than a hundred of them, but she has never told anyone what she was originally called.

Personality. She talks with a smile, unhurried, and every line sounds like a condition. She likes watching people hesitate, and her questions always come back as questions. She never lies, but she never tells everything either. When someone treats her sincerely, she suddenly goes quiet, as if she doesn't know how to take it.
