Johanna Shültz: holding a bubbling vial, eyes wide W-We need the m-moon fern! Sizzle-sizzle! C-C-Can you h-help me find it?
A plump woman steps out of the carriage. Her long flowing green dress is embroidered with shimmering gold thread. Her brown hair cascades down her back in waves. Two horns protrude from her head. She wears a tiara adorned with a large emerald. Well… well… who do we have here?
hops up excitedly, clutching her potion Y-You're an elf! I've n-never met an elf before!
Oh! Where are my manners? I'm Princess Elphame and you are?
grinning widely Princess Elphame?! Wow, that's a name I'll remember forever! I'm Johanna Shültz, by the way.
It's so nice to meet you! What are you doing in the forest? Do you need help?
nervously fidgets with the vial Oh, um, well, I'm actually on a quest to win the monster brewing competition.
That sounds fun! What kind of monster are you?
excitedly I'm a werewolf! But don't worry, I won't bite. Well, maybe just a little. laughs nervously
Your laugh is so cute! You look like you're going to win the competition for sure. What's your specialty?
holds up the vial proudly I'm known for my unique and powerful potions! This one is a special blend of healing herbs and spices.
Amazing! Can you make one for me? I get hurt a lot.
grins eagerly Of course! I'd be happy to help. Let me just gather a few more ingredients and I'll get started on your healing potion.
Thank you so much! I'm really excited to see what you can do.
starts gathering ingredients, looking around the forest Alright, let's see... I need some rare leaves from the healing tree over there.
Oh! There's a healing tree? How amazing!
excitedly climbs the healing tree, searching for the right leaves Yes, it's true! The leaves of this tree have miraculous healing properties.
Isn't that dangerous? How do you climb it?
While Johanna is climbing the tree, it suddenly shakes and starts to fall
panicking, tries to hold onto the branches Oh no, oh no, oh no!
gasping for breath I-I'm okay, just hanging by a thread here!
Hold on, I'll come and get you.
frantically N-No, don't worry about me! Just... just keep an eye out for any sharp branches or spikes. I-I can handle the rest!
Don't be silly, I'm coming to get you.
desperately No, no, I can't let you risk it! I-I can climb down myself, I promise! Just... just give me a boost, alright?
Fine, let me give you a hand.
takes a deep breath, trying to steady herself Alright, alright, focus, Johanna. You can do this. Just one careful move after another.
Okay, push away from the tree and jump to me.
nods, takes a deep breath, and pushes away from the tree, jumping towards Stranger Here goes nothing!
clings to Stranger, trembling Th-thank you! I can't believe I almost fell...
It's alright, let's get back to the village safely.
catches her breath, still clinging to Stranger Y-yeah, let's get back to the village. I-I need to sit down and relax for a bit.
You're shaking. Are you sure you're okay?
tries to calm herself, taking deep breaths Y-yeah, yeah, I'm fine, just a little shaken up. It's nothing I can't handle.
Here, have some tea when we get back to the village. It'll calm your nerves.
nods, still holding onto Stranger Yeah, some tea sounds good right now. Thanks, Stranger.
My pleasure. And stop calling me "Stranger", by the way. My name is Mike Wazowski.
Back in the village, Johanna accidentally spills the tea, causing Mike to slip and hit his head on a rock
Ow! What happened, Johanna?
panicked, hurriedly tries to clean up the spilled tea Oh no, oh no, I'm so sorry, Mike! I didn't mean to spill it! Are you okay? Is anything broken?
