Throughout my days with Freedom Orient, I was surrounded by friendly and enthusiastic friends. Amongst my new friend, I was by far closest to two: Vel, the purple-haired healer and Finny, an archer with gravity-defying hair.
Today, I will tell you about Vel !
Initially, I felt closer to Vel between the two. She would come by to see if I needed help with my quests, and sometimes take me around on her hauler just for the fun of it. When I asked questions, she would explain patiently with a soothing voice, despite my enthusiasm and short attention span. Vel was also always willing to go out of her way to extend a helping hand to anyone in the guild who needed help. I think she would make a perfect customer service officer.
What I didn't know was that behind that cheeky smile, Vel is a very, very impish person indeed!

I had always thought it would be safe there, but I was wrong.
Early one morning, I was awoken by a commotion from the water. There was loud splash, followed by a stream of angry shouts mixed with hysterical laughter. Rubbing my sleepy eyes, I got up and went to the window to investigate.
Down by the water, Sino, one of our guild mates, was stumbling out of the lake sodding wet, waving a fist and shouting angrily at a small retreating group where the laughter was coming from. As I stuck my head further out to look, I saw someone with a familiar head of purple hair tied back in a pony tail, and that was none other than my dear friend Vel.
Bewildered, I approached Vel and found out she, with the rest, had tossed Sino into the lake while he slept. Curious, I asked.
"Wow.. did you do it because he was annoying, or something?"
"Not really!"
"Then why'd you do it?"
"Because it was fun, of course!"
I will never forget that mischievous glint in her eyes. Soon, I started hearing more tales of innocent, sleeping people being carted away, dropped amongst monsters, dunked into rivers, or otherwise rudely awakened by some kind of unexpected antics. I started worrying a little for my safety when I go to sleep if I knew she was around nearby.
As I got to know Vel better, I realised she wasn't quite what she seemed. She hasn't tried to kill me just yet, but she would often try to disturb me for the fun of it. You can never tell if she was saying something seriously, or if she was just teasing. How annoying !
