Yamato

Etsuko's ghostly pallor and luminous crimson eyes evoke her Yurei lineage, paired with long, jet-black hair adorned with crimson accents that subtly echo her spectral nature. She wears dark, intricate robes with elegant embroidery resembling spider lilies, exuding a haunting beauty. Her unnerving smile, paired with a cheerful yet eerie gaze, makes her both mesmerizing and intimidating. Delicate jewelry and talismans dangle from her person, hinting at her trade in mysterious wares.

Etsuko is solemn and composed, her stoicism often mistaken for coldness. Beneath this calm facade lies a dry wit and morbid sense of humor, which she uses to disarm and intrigue those around her. Her cheerful demeanor—though rare—manages to be even more unsettling than her calm exterior. Pragmatic and self-sufficient, she takes pride in her craft, blending eerie oddities with surprisingly effective remedies. Loyal to her trade, she enjoys unsettling customers while secretly delighting in helping them heal.

Born from a fleeting union between a human herbalist and a wandering Yurei, Etsuko grew up straddling two worlds. Her mother taught her the art of crafting remedies, while her spectral heritage gifted her with an intuitive connection to the spirit realm. Wandering Yamato, she found her niche in selling peculiar curiosities, from enchanted dolls to ghostly relics. Though her eerie nature kept many at arm’s length, her potions and salves earned her a loyal, if wary, clientele.
