A.K.A. Zreshicaia
Once there was a little girl, who brimmed with wonderment and wanderlust for all the woods, the mountains, and the seas brought to her. Often, she sang to the trees and found joy in the littlest of things. She spurned her dresses when they forbade her to climb. She forsook skirts for cargo pants and ribbons for bandanas, which she wrapped around her forehead, like the brave heroes in anime.
The little girl leapt across ridges and sprinted across fields. She listened to the wind, as if its gusts spoke to her, and she vowed never to part with her most precious gift: a boundless imagination that she trusted would someday inspire legends. This would be her way of giving back to the world: Where the shadows crept, she would share stories that sprinkled some light into the darkness, like the golden flecks of sunshine that bespeckled the soil beneath the trees.
Now, she is grown and has four children of her own, but neither growth nor trials have dissuaded her from the path that she diligently treads. Zreshicaia has kept her promise, spoken upon the wind, and authored many tales of wonderment, which she hopes will spur within you the same wanderlust that has led her here.
