Orphaned at fourteen when monsters destroyed her village, Pastel travels with a band of adventurers as their writer and mapper. She crafts detailed charts and illustrations of towns, rivers, mountains, and other landscapes they traverse.

Leading the group with intelligence and honesty, Pastel earns deep respect from her companions: a young swordsman, a bandit chieftain’s son, a descendant of scholars, a large gentle soul, a baby dragon, and an infant elf sorcerer.

Their adventures span treasure hunts, riddle-solving, missing-person searches, and unforeseen quests. One pivotal mission investigates a white dragon jewel found by a companion’s father and its connection to a matching jewel carried by their baby dragon—a clue to the dragon’s origins. Pastel’s orphaned past and ongoing journey with this group shape her experiences across their shared exploits.
