## Letter History

### Tier I

* Hello Papa,

I feel different from the others. I cannot stop hopping around the house. I am sorry that I broke some of your work utensils and furniture. I will fix them later.

* Hello Papa,

I am so happy that I was finally able to fix most of the things I broke. Even though I cannot stop hopping, I still managed it. Thank you for showing me how to use glue! I know you think it is unnecessary, but I am so happy that I can do it.

* Hello Papa,

I tried to fix and clean some of the rooms but I cannot do it. I want to help you achieve your goals before it is time for me to go. I know, Papa. I know what you did to the others. I know why you are doing all of this. And I am proud to be a part of it.

### Tier 2

* Hello Daddy,

There is a man in the village who is very interesting. He asked me some questions about my seal, but when I asked him to hop with me he acted surprised. He walked away with his nose in the air. Such a funny man!

* Hello Daddy,

I talked to the funny man again today. He wanted me to visit his temple. He invited me to be part of a show. He said when he called upon the Celestials that I would have to run away. I did what he asked, and I think he believed his performance.

* Hello Daddy,

The funny man talked to me again. He said that I am a monster, so that is why his magics made me run. When I told him that was just a performance, he seemed very angry. He has some power, Daddy, but not like you do. I am happy to be helping you with a greater work.

### Tier 3

* Hello Daddy,

I had a lot of fun today! There are some children in the village, who like to hop around like me. They play a game where they hop around boxes they draw on the ground. The game is such fun.

* Hello Daddy,

Today when I tried to play the hopping game with the village children they used a stone. When the stone is in the box you cannot jump in that box. But, I always hop the same distance, so I could not win that game. I need to practice more!

* Hello Daddy,

I practiced jumping today with my sister, but she just wanted to talk about what you are doing to us. She was very scared. But, I am not scared. I am not afraid to die. I am already dead! If my soul will help your work, I am happy.

## Death

She is always jumping from one place to another. Her movements irritated him and he could not wait to kill her. Now the moment has come. He stabs her to death and feels happiness at seeing her jumping stop.

## Personality

Jiangshi is constantly cheerful and helpful, often stating that she is glad when she is able to help someone or make up for a mistake she has made. She seems to love Faust very much, even stating that she is happy to serve the purpose he has for her after finding out that she is destined to die. She enjoys fun things and finds the villagers entertaining, especially one in particular who seems to show disdain toward her, though she seems to find his reactions amusing and refers to him as "the funny man."

## Relationship

Jiangshi seems to have many interactions with a man in the village, the Occult Leader, who shows negativity toward her and calls her a "monster." Despite his adverse reaction to her, Jiangshi seems to find him amusing and refuses to be offended by his insults and rejection.
