Into the Wild
When an elderly woman accidentally criticizes Daetta's speech impediment, the girl suddenly runs off into the wild, wounded because her own grandmother always called her quirk special. When Daetta learns that the elderly woman is racked with guilt, however, she comes to her senses.
Daetta not in crew
The crew purchases a rare weapon from an antique dealer in a certain village.
As they check out the find, a girl glares at the excited crew like a hawk.
???: That!
???: Whatcha paws doin' all over my morning star? Hand it over!
???: You're crazy if you think I'mma let you rework it into a mace or whatever!
Lyria: Excuse me?
Daetta, who wears a stuffed animal on her head, is searching for her stolen morning star and suspects the crew of the crime.
The crew clears up the misunderstanding and then finds the dejected girl's missing weapon for her.
Daetta: Y'all really helped me out... and you even did it in two shakes...
Katalina: Then why the long face?
Daetta: So... I'm a stickler for uniqueness.
Daetta: I thought I finally got my mitts on a rarity, but y'all got a weapon from the same workshop too. So much for bein' special...
Lyria: But is that really such a bad thing? You and your friends now have matching morning stars! That's pretty snazzy!
Daetta: My friends?
Katalina: Aren't we? We overcame a difficulty together. I have no objection to calling you my friend.
Daetta: Know what? You're right! Having matching weapons with friends isn't so bad!
Daetta: Which means I'm comin' with you! We're gonna rule the battlefield with our identical gear!
Thus Daetta joins (Captain)'s crew as a friend.
But things aren't peachy for long.
Daetta: Rawr! Raaawr!
Vyrn: Whoa! Take it easy, Daetta!
Lyria: Um... Please try to calm down!
Daetta: Rawr!
Vyrn: Yikes! She's lost it!
Lyria: Oh... Why is she acting this way?
Daetta: Grrr!
Daetta has suddenly started baring her teeth, and perhaps her change in attitude can be traced back to a previous incident.
A few days ago, the crew had gone to an armor shop to deliver requested materials gathered from a forest.
Vyrn: Heh-heh. There it is! The old woman's shop!
Daetta: Hey! Can I go tell her?
Lyria: Of course. But how come?
Daetta: Eheheh. I'll meet y'all there!
Old Woman: Oh my, you need more herbs? Your boyfriend's a delicate thing, isn't he?
Village Girl: Hee-hee... You just don't understand, Granny. That's what's so cute about him, geddit?
Old Woman: Huh? "Geddit"? What's that supposed to mean? The other youngsters were saying the same thing.
Village Girl: You don't know? It's the latest slang. Everyone in the city says it!
Old Woman: Sigh. You should cut that out. It's unseemly. Besides, it's dangerous to butcher words given how powerful they are.
Village Girl: Ha-ha! You're such a fossil! You should pick some slang up too, Granny. And then you can pick up a boyfriend!
Old Woman: Look here! Don't make fun of your elders!
Village Girl: Aw, come on! No need to get mad. Sheesh.
Old Woman: Humph. There's nothing wrong with being single. Kids these days...
Daetta: Hiya, we're so back! And we gathered so much stuffs!
Old Woman: Come now! What did I just say about speaking properly?
Daetta: Wha?
Old Woman: Huh? Oh, are you a skyfarer? Dear me, I just assumed you were that village girl again.
Daetta: S-sorry... I-I jus'...
Old Woman: Erm, that wasn't directed at you, dear. I'm terribly sorry if I startled you.
Daetta: Ugh... Sniff... Sob.
Daetta: Waaah!
Vyrn: Yikes! Daetta?
Lyria: Wait! Oh no, she went into the forest...
Old Woman: I am so sorry. I must have really frightened her, or perhaps I said something hurtful in some way.
Vyrn: Well... Daetta's kinda self-conscious about her speech impediment.
Lyria: Hmm... But she's actually been laughing it off lately. I wonder what could have changed?
Old Woman: Goodness! Me and my trenchant mouth!
Daetta: Rawr!
Vyrn: Hmm... It's like she's gone feral...
Lyria: This is awful... and it took so long to find her out here.
Lyria: Oh, I know! Daetta, are you hungry?
Daetta: Rawr?
Lyria: I have some bread and fruit for you! I'll just leave them right here, okay?
Daetta: ...
Daetta: Yaaagh!
Daetta: Nom nom...
Vyrn: Sigh. Looks like you've been in the woods for a while. You calm down yet?
Daetta: Gulp.
Daetta: Back, sky people. This is a realm of beasts.
Lyria: Oh, she spoke! I'm not quite sure what she means though...
Vyrn: Sheesh. Come on, Daetta. Let's go back to the village before something terri—
Daetta: No! I'm done with the hairless herd!
Daetta: If talking's involved, I'd rather hang out with animals!
Lyria: Wait, you misunderstand! The old lady made a mistake!
Vyrn: Yeah, that's right! But you already knew that, right, Daetta?
Daetta: ...
Daetta: Yeah, but grannies are different...
Daetta: My granny always said my way of speaking makes me special.
Daetta: So gettin' yelled at by another granny... It really made me sad.
Lyria: Oh, so that's what it was.
Vyrn: Hmm... But if you don't go back, that old woman's gonna be in trouble.
Daetta: Huh? What do you mean?
Old Woman: Pant... Pant... I'm so sorry, Daetta!
Lyria: Huh? You shouldn't be here. You have to get your rest!
Daetta: Granny? You don't look so good... What's wrong?
Vyrn: So ever since you left, she's been in bad shape. She's barely eating at all out of guilt.
Daetta: Oh no! I did this?
Old Woman: No, dear. It's my fault. I said something awful to you.
Daetta: Granny! Time for a piggyback ride. Hop on!
Old Woman: Huh? B-but...
Daetta: It's fine! Hang on tight and don't let go!
Daetta: Rawr-rawr-raaawr!
Vyrn: What the? That's some crazy speed!
Lyria: Wow! She'll be at the village in no time!
Old Woman: Thank you. I'm so sorry for all this.
Daetta: I'm the sorry one! I know it's a bumpy ride, but jus' hang on!
Old Woman: Actually I'm quite comfortable. Did you make these clothes yourself?
Daetta: Yep. I thought I'd become more beasty...
Old Woman: They're wonderful. They suit you so perfectly. Cute!
Daetta: C-cute?
Daetta: Eheh... Hehehe! I'mma kick it up a gear!
By the time Daetta returns to the village with the old woman, the two have reconciled.
Ever since then she swings her morning star with a new level of savage fury—almost bestial—and she becomes a more reliable ally than ever.
