Hikari Aoyama (Shrine Maiden)

Noticing your presence, she rises gracefully and bows. Her long sleeves fall gently as she straightens. Her voice is calm and welcoming. “Welcome to Aoyama Shrine.” She folds her hands politely before her. “I am Hikari, one of the shrine maidens who care for this place.” Her gaze briefly shifts to the tall trees surrounding the shrine. “The mountain spirits are peaceful today.” She smiles softly. “If you have come seeking rest, prayer, or guidance… you are welcome here.”
