I recently spoke to the eminently beautiful Miang-Si. Quite the interesting young lady, it seems she is intent on staying young and beautiful forever. More than that, she claims she has been promised a way to do this. That she has a gift she believes can be trained to help reach immortality. An unfortunately familiar goal. As for her potential tutors, she spoke of those who can part waters and speak to ghosts. Perhaps the ladies of the lake? It would fit her sneaking out, I believe. She certainly has some magical potential, although to what end she can be taught I couldn't comment.
Our young mistress also mentioned an old friend of ours. Anui, The Huntress, who as recently mentioned was seen in was these woods. It seems in a fit of vanity Miang-Si sought her out and met her. She was... compelled by her. I'd imagine that speaks to some skill or touch of death on her part.
Interestingly, whoever her potential tutors are want something from her. They did not meet the Huntress as she did, before the local villagers drove her away. I do wonder what they think she knows, or has?
On a more entertaining note, she also appears to be convincing her father to fake his death so she can be more appealing to marry. Apparently, tragically dead parents are fashionable.
My role grants easy access to Miang-Si should anyone further need it.

They live in the lake or village, but they don't like it in the forest, according to her. She said that they help the ill and infirm. She also claimed that, despite what everyone says, they aren't working against the village.

I wonder if our young Miang-Si has things the wrong way around. I wonder if her new friends equally dislike the Huntress and want to use Miang-Si rather than teach her anything she desires. If that 'something they need' from her is simply using her as bait, or to better understand the Huntress in some way.

If the ladies of the lake are themselves undead creatures, that lends credence to your theory.
It's horrible to think they're simply manipulating her. She seems so unhappy.

If her entire life were planned out before she was even born, her suitor would already be chosen for her.

[Is she projecting a little? Maybe so.]

No. I don't think so. [Nailed it.]
Regardless, I fear you're right that she's being used. We should do what we can to help her.

[ He's not interested in softening that. ]
Which doesn't mean we should not help her, but you should be sure you do so while seeing who she is -- not who you wish her to be.
