Once there was a female mortal named Ignacia who roamed freely in the vast forest near her home. Being naughty and causing trouble with others intrigued her, she was always acting bad, breaking the peace between everyone.

Aside from her personality, Ignacia had a beautiful, colorful mixture of hair and a red complexity to her face, like the colors of fire, that she dearly admired about herself.

I am not interested in that old life; I love keeping peace and tending nature,” as she remembered the old times.
