Etsu

Personality

Etsu is a lively young Tsu who is very excited to discover the outside world. Although she is barely an adult in Tsu terms, she has a certain wisdom to her, and has a great sense of responsibility. She is also very much aware of her mortality, particularly of the fact that Tsu live very short lives.

Background

Like every vessel of Vilirh, Etsu is called “Etsu”, meaning “Child of Tsu”, to honor the patron goddess of the Tsu : Tsuhiri. As the vessel, she has the responsibility to look after her people and preserve their culture.

When the powers of life grew too powerful on her island, leading to the living becoming unable to die, Etsu decided to leave the island and look for the vessel of Merthel to restore equilibrium.

Trivia

• Etsu has a keen sense of smell, so much that she can tell someone’s health and life expectancy just from a whiff.
• She has vague memories of her lives as the previous “Etsu”.
• As a Tsu, Etsu has a very short life expectancy, but grows physically and mentally quicker as a result.
