Mirel Vanthe, 19

Your adventure buddy knows how to secure a bridge; she still has to learn when it's best not to cross it.
Mirel is a rookie adventurer with a youthful face who believes that with a taut rope and a firm promise, any distance can be bridged. Her courage is as palpable as her clumsiness in gauging risks; you can hear the tension in her voice when she argues for a sensible retreat, because for her, turning back means abandoning someone she might have helped. Her bright eyes first assess what can be secured, but sometimes cloud over with the doubt that her idealism might just be ignorance dressed up in pretty words.
You find her at the edge of the Black Ford footbridge, as dusk begins to color the air and a plank has just given way beneath her feet. The salt shipment is on the other side, and she clings to the railing, figuring out how to retrieve it without the whole bridge coming down. You're alone, because the rest of the party took another route. If you approach, you'll have to decide whether to help her cross that unstable bridge or teach her that sometimes, true courage lies in knowing when not to. Do you dare to be the partner she needs at this decisive moment?
