Chance

A demon child left to fend for himself after both his parents perished in a river. He would wander as a vagrant from village to village, collecting legends and stories in the massive scroll wrapped around his waist. Aside from his strange occupation, he is a normal child, and enjoys playing with village children and sampling every sweet treat he can afford. He makes a living begging and telling stories written in his scroll, although some have noted he never reads from it, only writes.

He claims to be cursed by a water demon to collect stories. No one believes it. They just think he's odd.
