>What do we know of Marisa's personal life?

>She has something of a reputation as a ladykiller, although you're not sure how much is truth and how much is rumor; you wouldn't be at all surprised if Marisa herself had helped embellish this reputation a little. You know nothing about her family, although you get the impression she doesn't stay in touch with them; she's originally from somewhere near Val Razua, and moved to Braston a few years back when she decided to join the Seekers. To the best of your knowledge, she doesn't travel back there much. You also don't know of any close friends, although she's presumptively friendly with nearly everyone. She does tend to be on the go almost constantly, always chasing after some new goal or other; it's possible she hasn't really had much chance to put down roots, and maybe wouldn't even want to.

>"A cat?" Somewhat aggravatingly, Marisa seems to find this hilarious. "Oh, Naz..." she says between snickers. "Just the right youkai for the job, eh?"

>"Beating up some thieves over a stolen package," she replies. "But like I said, don't worry about it. You'll hit pay dirt some day, no doubt in my mind. You've got talent, Naz."

>She's generally a pretty decent-hearted person towards most people, but you've often gotten the impression that she likes you more than most. At least, she seems to have taken it upon herself to be a sort of 'big sister' figure. For better or worse.

>You take the object from Marisa, and immediately feel something hard and thin running the length of the bundle as you grasp it, like a metal... rod? You unwrap the rest of the cloth, Marisa grinning at you intently the whole time. It's a pair of dowsing rods, long and l-shaped, with stylized markers of the cardinal directions formed from the metal at each end. The good ones.
>"Surprise!" Marisa says. "I know you had your eye on those. Consider it a graduation present."

>You tentatively thank Marisa, while inwardly cheering. This is one of the best presents anyone's, well, ever given you. The cool metal feels so satisfying just to hold, knowing they're actually yours now.

>Marisa's grin wavers just a moment before you grin yourself and thank her in earnest.
>"Glad you like them," she says, then gives your hair a little muss with her hand. "Welcome to the Seekers, kid."

>"Does that place ever have news coming from it?" She scrunches up her face. "Can't say I've heard anything recently. Well, the Prismrivers are giving a concert out there sometime this week. Day after tomorrow, maybe? Eh, Not sure." She waves her hand dismissively. "They wanted to be thorough, I guess. Probably the most excitement that end of the island's likely to see for another year or so."
