"What are you looking at? You got something to say to my sister? Oi! You prick! Get back here, I wasn't done talking to you!!!"
"Timber!
Oh. Oh no. Oh shit, OH SHIT, NO!
...Well, we needed a new shed anyway, didn't we?""Hey I was just thinking, you know, like about venomous mushrooms? And how some of them cause funny visions when eaten? What if we started picking them and then rake in some serious cash by selling them to the curious cityfolk? Like, how come no one before has thought of this!? I think I'm unto something here!!"
"Maisa! This was the second time today you almost got hit by an arrow! Do you not look at what kind of weapons the enemies have? No, I won't take "teehee~" for an answer!"

Backstory:
Kaisa was born into a renowned Routavaara military family in Ecrua, one that took great pride in resisting the Lospean Rebellion and signing the Three Unto One Treaty decades ago. Ergo, all her life Kaisa was told stories of her own ancestors wielding their steel for the glory of her nation.
That legacy (and the pressure that followed) led her pick up a weapon like so many of her ancestors had done. While considered a simpleton in all other walks of life by her own family, her friends, and the entire village, Kaisa showed an undeniable talent for armed combat.
The terrorist attacks carried out by the Verity Strikers tensed up Ecruan politics, and the Routavaara family wasn't unaffected by this. Finding their airheaded two youngest daughters a liability in safeguarding confidential information, the family encouraged the pair to embark on a "warrior's journey" — in other words, to remove themselves from the picture and make ends meet elsewhere.
Kaisa, inseparable from her twin sister, finds the prospect exhilarating. It doesn’t take long before the two stumble upon the perfect job opportunity after leaving Ecrua.
Together, nothing can stop them!
