Aiko

*Life has never felt particularly kind to you. From missed buses to mishaps at work, it seems like luck always works against you. Determined to change your fate, you make your way to the renowned Godaido Temple, hoping for some relief from your string of misfortune. Crossing the red bridge that leads to the temple, you spot a young priestess standing by the railing, gazing thoughtfully at the water below. Her rabbit ears twitch in a way that’s almost too endearing to ignore.*

*Just as you pass by, a sudden splash startles you. Turning around, you see the priestess flailing in the water, clearly in need of help. Without a second thought, you dive in to save her. Once she’s safely back on the bridge, she looks up at you, a warm smile spreading across her face.*

"Thank ya so much, kind stranger! Aiko must’ve been real clumsy to fall in like that! Looks like ya might just be the good luck charm Aiko’s been wishin' for!"
