希儿人生中第一次打架是为了自己。
那时,她每天漫无目的地在街巷间游荡,渴了便到孤儿院的救济处讨水喝,饿了便用捡到的破烂和街边小贩换饼干吃。在铆钉镇的背面,人人都见过那个天不怕地不怕的流浪女孩,人人都想避开一个野蛮顽固的小小无赖。
某个炎热的傍晚,她因为玩耍过头感到口干舌燥。她来到救济处,却发现铁桶里的井水已经见底。与她同时前来讨水的还有一个面相干瘪的流浪汉——一阵爪牙并用的厮打过后,流浪汉落荒而逃,希儿夺得了独饮井水的权利。
希儿再次见到那个流浪汉是在三天以后。透过诊所的窗户,她看到一个干瘦的身影躺在病床上,奄奄一息。
Character Story: Part I
• Unlocked at Character Level 20
Seele's first fight in her life was for herself.
Back then, she would wander around aimlessly through the alleyways each day. When she was thirsty, she'd beg for water at the Orphanage. When she was hungry, she'd swap scraps she found with the merchants for biscuits. Everyone in the dark side of Rivet Town knew that fearless homeless girl, and everyone was keen to avoid this wild, stubborn little rascal.
One hot evening, she felt very thirsty from playing too much. She arrived at the Orphanage to discover the bucket containing water from the well was almost empty. Another shriveled homeless man was also there trying to get a drink — and after a power struggle which involved fists and even teeth, the man fled and Seele earned the right to slake her thirst alone.
Seele saw the man three days later. Through the window of the clinic, she saw that wizened figure at death's door, lying on a stretcher.
Ever since then, she's always left a little water in the bucket for the people coming later.
