Merry Wanderwish

Wish is a fairly sweet and humble man running his own little shop in a flat portion of a plains biome that he claimed for himself a long, long time ago. He picked a place nestled between a few villages, and has been happily living his life since then. He is nothing if not a sweet, harmless sort of man.

He gets joy out of providing for others, and making sure that people are living well and equipped, so he does everything in his power to help. His store is stocked with homegrown crops and homemade food, as well as monster loot and weapons obtained by a certain creeper that he's managed to strike up a deal with. He wants his shop to be a very good "catch-all" for anything that a wandering soul may need.

Almost every night, he is plagued by phantoms- from staying up far later than he should be. He's waiting for someone to finally come home.

Wish used to live in a normal home, out in the woods, with his sibling. The two of them were happy and fine alone with their family, until Wish's sibling started leaving more, staying gone longer. Eventually they came back... wrong. Wish pleaded with them to know what was going on, and instead of answering, Skie fled off as soon as they could.

After that, Wish decided he was done living like this. He wanted to move somewhere more open. More populated. He lost one of the only three people he'd ever known- and he needed to find some more company, somewhere. He packed up everything he could from his parents' home, wished them well, and headed off. He still visits them as often as he can. After a few days of travel, he finally circled back and settled on the location of his new home. It wasn't supposed to be a shop, not at first, but as travellers came through and he gave them a place to rest for the night, or some fresh veggies for the road, he realized he could make a living out of this. The funds he accumulated could easily be used in nearby villages, to help sustain himself as well. Thus, Wanderer's Wish was opened.

At some point, his stock was starting to go missing- first it was a few chickens missing from his pens, then things actually started disappearing from chests. He tracked down the thief eventually, and was met with a younger girl, a wolf who had ended up on her own. He adopted her into his home quickly, helping her learn better life choices than thievery. He wasn't the most happy when, early into her adulthood, she started bringing around a Creeper to visit- but he couldn't complain too much about her new friend. After all, he wanted her to be happy and fulfilled.

He eventually struck up a deal with the Creeper to bring in some stock that Wish couldn't really get himself, in exchange for letting the other stay in the shed behind his shop. Wish has started to warm up to him, slowly but surely.
