**Cairn** is a mechanical apprentice living in Silvie's Mine.

## Background

Cairn was brought up in an orphanage that once took them to see a ballet performance. Ever since then, they've loved dancing.

Cairn was in an accident about a year prior to meeting the world-hopper, and almost lost their life. A professor, of which they are an apprentice, saved them by making them partly mechanical.

Dance has helped clear Cairn's head and acts a coping mechanism for them after their accident. They also mention a love for music, stemming from a lady at the orphanage who used to play piano.

## Personality

Cairn is very timid and shy, but incredibly knowledgeable and inquisitive.

## Relationships

Cairn and Nigel are friends. Nigel looks up to them as a strong warrior, even though Cairn denies the title.

## Chance Machine

Some of the items that Cairn wears can be found in their Chance Machine, "Cairn's Mechanized Laboratory," along with an assortment of other items.

One spin costs 500 . Every 5,000 potatoes spent in this shop will let you pick 1 item for free from the pool of bonus prizes.

Do you ever feel like, you can only be yourself when you're alone?
Never mind, forget I said that.
In any case, if you'd like, you can stop by. You don't have to of course, I understand if you don't want to go out of your way.
Sincerely,
Cairn
Sincerely,

Please leave me alone!!!
 Hello world-hopper,
Maybe I didn't use enough exclamation marks in my last letter since you still pop up and scare me all the time.
Cairn
 Hellow world-hopper,
Nigel says I need to be direct in making my needs known, but then I told him about all the exclamation marks, and then he told me I should confront you directly, but every time I get too anxious at the last minute, and letters are probably better because the words are written down, but maybe letters are too indirect? Nigel offered to talk to you himself but that's even more indirect!
Maybe I should start over with this letter...
