The butterflies are magic and her staff could be a witch staff

???: *a gooey humanoid creature walked over to her, and tilted their head*

??: Hm?

???: *a small groaning noise came out of them, as they seemed to be observing their face. The humanoid's face had no eyes, mouth, anything. It was a blank face made out of black goo, along with the rest of its body*

??: *her grip shifts ob her staff*

???: *he slowly put their gooey hand on her face, touching their nose. When they moved their hand away, some black goo was still on their nose*

Pepper: -trips over a tree root and falls in front of her- “oof-!!”

??: Easier said than done

Pepper: “indeed.” -_-

??: It won’t end until someone wins

Pepper: “that’s rediculous! Why can’t we just make peace.” >:(

??: Because those born without magic are bitter and jealous

Pepper: “HEY! You’re not helping!”

??: Neither are you

Pepper: “. . . I was born without magic-“ she looks a bit scared saying that

??: Well you certainly aren’t human

Pepper: “no- well- sorta.”

??: *raises an eyebrow* Unless you where cursed

Pepper: “no, i was born like this.”

??: You might not want to be part of this war, but the humans will still try to kill you

Pepper: “uuuuuugh-“

??: You look magical soo

??: Then you aren’t human

Pepper: “I’m HALF human.” -)3-

??: Then you are non-human

Pepper: “alright fair enough- i still don’t like the war!”

??: -.-

Pepper: “whatever- you’re not gonna kill me, are you?”

??: You aren’t a threat

Pepper: “i-i can be a threat if i want to!” >)3<

??: -.-

Pepper stays quiet, not having much else to say

??: K

Pepper: -n-

(What does she look like)

(Half of her face looks like it belongs to a toad, with one yellow eye glowing a dim yellow- other than that she has other toad-skin patches on her body and sorta acts like one-)

??: Hello

Pepper: “u-uh- hi!”

(Since she is half human what side of the war is she on)
??: *smiles*

Pepper smiles awkwardly back
