A large scarf around her head and shoulders, covering her head and face from any that would see her. A blackened basket of a very well made design and a bit of yellow material along the handle to fasten to to her wrist. There was not much in said basket. A loaf of bread, some carrots, dried meat and two pears. Enough for one on this travel, depending on the destination.
The road veered off in two separate ways, the left an the right. The appearance - at first - looked to be the same and yet she knew one road took her into the mountains, where she was heading, and the other into a village. Where she did not wish to go. A township meant people, and that meant many other things. Mostly, things this one did not want to worry about.
A silent sigh left her lips and she tried to recall the directions her mother had given her. She knew there would be no way to remember the words if she thought on them for too long, so best to sit aside from the road and rest a while.
That was when things became a little strange...
The clearing she sat in was not far from the road. Atop a little hill, visible from the road if she did not cover herself in the shade of a tree so it would be difficult. Shoes off to her side and scarf uncovering her locks of mocha brown and kisses of red and gold. Yet the eyes. Heterochromia. One was a true green and the other a mysterious purple. There was no noise about her, which was what scared her more than the actual roar or a bear.
It must have smelled the food she carried with her and came to eat. She heard the animal before she saw it. but she gathered her things and ran. Her legs carried her further up the hill, away from the sound of the bear and deeper into the woods. Juniper, oak tree, oak tree. This one kept a tally of what she passed so when she needed to return it would be easy find her way back.
Only when she burst thorough another clearing, closer to water and tripped over the legs of what she thought was a very handsome man did she stop. She was forced to, but she did and tumbled to the ground without so much as a sound from her throat.
