A small pale—woman? it's hard to tell—wanders through the marketplace. They're wearing dark blue jeans and black sandals, a blue Sailor Moon T-shirt and a copper-and-malachite pendant; their strawberry blonde hair is tied back in a low ponytail, though some strands have escaped the deep green ribbon, and copper-wrapped lapis stones hang from their ears.
They spot the rainbowy reflection of the quartz point first, then hear the bard's call. Tentatively, they approach her.
"Hi," they say when she turns to look. "Do you—can you help me figure out a dream I keep having?"
Perhaps the bard has second sight enough to see, echoing this stranger, a Greek woman of the same age, barefoot and garbed in a linen peplos dyed a deep green and pinned with copper brooches, with ribbon the same green binding up her dark hair.
[Thanks for this—that's actually more characterization I've gotten written down on this story since I thought of it in January! I think what I'm hoping for from Jewel's cards is some story direction. I have the premise clear, I just don't know what to do with it! And the character hasn't got as far as asking the actual question, to be clear, it just feels more in-character to wait for Jewel's answer, or something?]
