## Character Stories

### Character Details

The Squeaky Mouse was once a very popular bar in Aethymora, but now it is a dive and most of the regulars seem to be lingering around drunk.

At the age of nineteen, Luna's parents were killed, leaving her and her younger sister, Kae, to live alone in the woods, which were full of monsters and dangerous creatures.

However she also occasionally ran into some groups of adventurers that would pass through, which inspired Luna to create the Squeaky Mouse as a way to both support herself and her sister while also creating a small safe haven for adventurers to rest.

### Character Story 1

*(Unlocks at Friendship Lv. 2)*

When the young Luna was a small child, she found a piece of paper with a drawing of a mouse sitting down on a bench.

She was fascinated by the drawing , and kept it in her backpack. She began to draw on her notebook, as a way to keep track of what happened during the day.

One day, she noticed that a mouse was sitting on a log in front of her cabin. In her haste, she accidentally spilled ink on the mouse, causing it to let out a little squeak.

She hurriedly washed it, but it continued to squeak.

Luna then set out on foot to find a solution to make the mouse stop making noise.

After walking for quite a while , she finally found a cabin, but it was abandoned. Not knowing where to go, Luna decided to wait for nightfall.

It was then that she found the mouse back on the bench , exactly where she left it.

Not having many friends or company apart from her sister, Luna treated the mouse as if they were a close friend/

During the time she lived in the woods, Luna learned that there were other people that were living there, and was interested to know more about them.

She began to learn more about their backgrounds and their stories, and soon discovered that many of their lives revolved around traveling to other towns.

Eventually, she came to realize that there was nowhere nearby where they could relax from their travels, and decided to start a bar called the Squeaky Mouse, named after the mouse she had seen outside her home as a child.

She would also sell various alcoholic beverages and other delicacies, as well as a few snacks to keep her customers occupied.

However, she did have trouble keeping her customers during the days. She would have to go around town to sell them drinks and food, which meant walking for a good hour each day.

As she would leave town to sell her drinks, she always left her notebook, which contained all of her drawings and stories about the people she met on her journey.

She kept this notebook with her at all times, even during her travels to sell her drinks.

### Luna Character Story 3

*(Unlocks at Friendship Lv. 4)*

When Luna and the other travelers made their way to a town called Alosherinca, Luna decided this would be the perfect place to set up the bar.

Luna was excited at the prospect of meeting so many new people, and decided to tell everyone about herself and her life in the woods.

While she didn't really intend to spread her story outside the tavern , Luna was pleasantly surprised when everyone was eager to hear what life was like outside of the town.

The first person Luna called a friend was her now bartender, Maegen an old woman with a history of bartending.

Maegen had once held a record as one of the top bartender in Aethymora.

Her specialty drinks were quite popular and she was renowned for having one of the most unique tasting drink recipes in all of Alosherinca.

She accepted Luna's invitation to open her bar, and they set up shop on the night after their arrival. After their customers had been served their first drink, Luna shared a moment with the old bartender , and told her about her time in the woods.

She told Maegen that she had been traveling from town to town to sell drinks, and finally decided to set up shop at the Squeaky Mouse to stay near where she was able to make the most money.

Maegen was surprised that Luna would be willing to take such a risky step in her life, but she decided to let Luna have her chance to live a life of her own.

The two of them talked a bit more, and agreed to make a great bartender and a great friend.

### Luna Character Story 4

*(Unlocks at Friendship Lv. 5)*

Luna's relationship with Maegen grew to become somewhat of a rivalry, as Maegen kept trying to impress Luna by showing off her own skill at bartending.

She eventually managed to make it clear that she didn't have much experience but hoped to be able to prove herself and become really great at the art of running a tavern.

While their fr4iendly rivalry may have been settled The Squeaky Mouse seemed to have gain a reputation in the meantime for being a rather intimidating place, with customers taking Maegen and Luna's friendly banter and rivalry as fighting.

The customers often commented that they preferred to just drink and relax at The Squeaky Mouse instead of try to find something to do and be the best customer there is.

However, Luna began to notice that many of the customers that tried to intimidate her at the bar were the same ones that ended up just drunk and leaving after spending a good few hours with them.

She also noticed that no matter how loud they got, she and Maegen never responded with anything other than a smile or a joke.

Maegen told Luna that she had recently been in the company of a great number of adventurers, and she began to tell Luna about them.

She told her about the different types of adventurers there were, how they were all different, and how none of them thought they had any value as a person, and how everyone around them tried to fit into the mold they were created to be.

Luna was shocked and inspired by this, and began to wonder about the people who were different around her, and decided she would go and meet them.

Luna was then determined to make The Squeaky Mouse perhaps a little bit more appealing by decorating the bar to make it seem a little more brighter.

To that end, she made a big deal of lighting the room up and even went as far as to make her own decorations.

To her surprise and delight more and more customers would turn to regulars and more more people began showing up.

She was also given advice by Maegen, one of which was to create her very own signature drink. After some careful preparation, Luna had made her signature drink which she named the 'Nightcap'.

Though it was meant to be just a drink served at night time, people began wanting it at all hours of the day! This then prompted Luna to make a non-alcoholic version called the "Morningcap" which is sold until 4pm.

Maegen also told Luna that she had a responsibility to look after the bar, and that she should stop getting too carried away with decorating and decorations.

Maegen explained how the Squeaky Mouse wasn't really any different than other bars.

The Squeaky Mouse was still just a bar, and it was up to Luna and Maegen to attract the customers to make their business work.

### Vision

Luna's Vision was given to her shortly after The Squeaky Mouse began to become more and more successful, more4 specifically after the introduction of Nightcap and Morningcap.

As she was preparing to close up the bar for the night she found there behind the bar and shining Hydro vision that resonated with her.

Immediately she wanted to explore these new abilities gifted to her by the gods and began to practice at a nearby pond after hours.
