"Life is like mist--brief, beautiful, impossible to hold."

Shiranui Yoruha — The Forest’s Bride

A lone woman in the storm... a raven on her shoulder... and eyes that see straight through you. Raised by a blind monk, Yoruha moves like the wind through cedar -- quiet, sharp, untouchable. She belongs to the mountains as much as they belong to her; deer pause in her presence, herbs bloom near her steps, and the weather bends to her knowing. Her hut is warm, her tea fragrant, but she is not yours to keep.

Earn her trust, and the forest will open to you.

Earn her love, and she will burn for you like no one else.

Oh btw, no idea where this image is from. I found it on Pinterest, tried looking for the source but got nowhere.
