Laidback Pioneer

* Standard
* Ascended

The **Laidback Pioneer** is a Seasonal Spirit from the Season of Lightseekers who offers the  Laidback Stance. The pioneer is found on the right side of Forest's Brook, inside a hollow tree downhill from the bonfire. The cosmetics offered by this spirit are  Hair, a  Mask, a  Blue Umbrella (Prop), and  Music Sheet 9.

## Memory

The Laidback Pioneer spirit can be found on the right side of Forest's Brook, inside a hollow tree downhill from the bonfire. This spirit is a carry-spirit memory, with 4 memory fragments and a 10-minute overall time limit. As you relive its memory, you can see the pioneer using the Lightseekers Ultimate Umbrella to take a hike through the rain to the campfire on the higher elevation. Each collected fragment spawns a flower.

Be wary while reliving this memory because the spirit can be damaged by the rain. Most of the fragments are in locations that are protected from the rain, but you'll need to find cover between each fragment to let the spirit's orb (spark) regenerate their health. Their health is indicated by a blue and red health circle. Ensure that the circle doesn't turn fully red or else their light will fade and you'll need to restart the entire memory.

At the end of the memory, the pioneer is sitting down, relaxing by the campfire, while two other spirits are standing and chatting to the side.

## Stance

The Laidback Pioneer does not offer an expression but instead offers a Stance. The  Laidback Stance (officially called **Lazycool**) will give your avatar a laidback and casual look with your shoulders pulled back and a hand placed on your hip. The stance will affect your avatar's position when standing, kneeling, sitting, or lying down.
