Kerajinn, King of the Monkeys

A figure of legend in the mythology of the people of Kaletan.
From the Middle Kingdom:
She pretended she was Kerajinn a character from legend and often portrayed in theatre productions when the actors came to her village. Kerajinn would always be the most agile actor, dressed in white, with a monkey mask and golden bells on his wrists and ankles.
She was on an adventure, pursued by Setanju and his evil minions, but using her wile and cunning to lose her enemies in the vast wild forested mountains. Aster the farmer’s daughter was clumsy and blundering, but Aster the monkey-god (or goddess, she hadn’t fully made up her mind about that, perhaps she could be called Kerajinna?) moved through the trees like a ghost, never seen and never heard, but there, watching and waiting. It made it all so much easier, not to be Aster, but someone else, someone stronger. If it was all just a game, then nothing could hurt her, and somehow this helped her survive and come to terms with the dangers all around her.
