## Quotes

	+ "An ichimegasa made from river reeds harvested by exactly 7 Twiggles—no more, no less! THEN, the reeds need to be dried in the sun for exactly 23 days, until finally being woven into a hat in under 19 hours, in a single, nonstop session!! THAT kind of hat is the only one worth wearing!"
	+ "I'll tell you when you're older, sweetie."
	+ "Ah! Rendered speechless by the mere concept of hats!! I've been there, my friend--I've been there!"

* *"Sigh... there were a few precocious youngsters across the valley who I was teaching about hats. Just when it felt like I finally getting through to "the youth of today", everything was dashed to pieces! Including the bridge!!"*

	+ "Oh, OF COURSE you don’t know—you don’t have an awe-inspiring, encyclopedic knowledge of Ogasa culture, traditions, and hat-facts like I do. YES, you should be EXCITED."
	+ "Oh, OF COURSE you don’t know—you don’t have an awe-inspiring, encyclopedic knowledge of Ogasa culture, traditions, and hat-facts like I do. NO, you shouldn't be SCARED."
* "That feeling in the air… means it’s finally TEA TIME."
	+ "Ugh, do I have to explain EVERYTHING? ANYONE who knows ANYTHING about Ogasa Village knows that this is the time of year that is best for brewing Bellshadow Tea. You know, Ogasa’s SIGNATURE drink?"
* "Do NOT tell me you’ve never tried it… you’ll break my heart…"
	+ "OH, what’s the point of having all this incredible knowledge if I do not selflessly SHARE it in moments like this? You MUST try this tea. NO ARGUMENTS—consider it a free history lesson from an incredibly generous historian."
* "At once, you must gather for me a Fall Sprig, some Crisp Water, and a Crimson Herb. Yes, of COURSE I have the ingredients memorized—what part of “ENCYCLOPEDIC KNOWLEDGE” did you not understand?!?! Go, quickly!!"
* "Find ALL THREE ingredients. Must I lecture you on the specific reasons each ingredient is IMPORTANT?? Because I WILL if I have to—and my lectures have been described as “terrifyingly detailed!”"
	+ "You SURE?! Then let’s begin with the FALL SPRIG, which gives the tea an earthy texture, is excellent for GUT HEALTH, promotes SHINY FUR, and is suspected to WARD OFF up to 12 DIFFERENT VARIETIES of MISCHIEVOUS SPIRITS."
	+ "HAD ENOUGH TRIVIA?! I’m just getting STARTED!"
	+ "Ohoho! Then let me tell you about CRISP WATER. Not warm, no cold, but CRISP. The conditions of the atmosphere give Lakeroot’s water a slight surface tension ONLY at this time of year!?"
	+ "And guess what?! THAT TENSION MAKES THE TEA INCREDIBLY ENERGIZING TO DRINK!!!"
	+ "REALLY?! You think you can handle even MORE TRIVIA? You GOT IT!! You wanna know something about Crimson Herbs??"
	+ "They grow WAAAAY faster in the presence of MUSIC, OK?!!?! BUT NOT IF THE MELODY IS TOO MELANCHOLY or CLICHE!!! HOW’S THAT FOR TRIVIA?!?"
* "Aww man, and I was just getting started…"
* "Oh, all right. I’ll admit I was sort of getting excited for a big, long lecture..."
* "EXCELLENT, that's everything I need. You know, I think your hard work gathering ingredients has earned an INCREDIBLE reward—the greatest gift I can think of—something that makes me EXCITED even to just THINK about—A FUN FACT!!!"
* "Did you know the name "Bellshadow Tea" comes from the Bluebell flower you see on the Ogasa flag? Such flowers once held immense cultural importance to us—even more than our HATS!"
* "But unlike our hats, Bluebell flowers became susceptible to infection went extinct, but this tea is quite close to the flavor of Bluebell flower tea-- almost like its SHADOW! Hence, "Bellshadow Tea!""
	+ "...Ok, fine, you can have a real reward too. SIGH. When will everyone learn that knowledge is the real treasure..."
* "I’ll be sure to alert you when the tea’s ready. In case you’re curious, the EXACT temperature of the first EVER cup of homemade Bellshadow Tea was—"
* "Oh, dear, there I go again with the trivia. I’d better focus on my brewing. (whispers) *it was 94.5 degrees.*"

## Trivia

* In one of her lines in Seasonal Tea, "Bluebell flowers became susceptible to infection went extinct" is missing the word "and" between infection and went. The word "was" is also missing from between "I" and "finally" in one of her lines from Building Bridges.
* Though her age has not been confirmed, some of her dialogue implies she is at least middle-age.
