[Introduction] "She's so golden-souled, she's so number nine, she's incredible math..."
One moment, the hallway outside the Mansion kitchen is empty. The next moment, there is a small, slender girl in a plain white minidress, kneeling on the tiles, bare arms loose at her sides. Blood shows on the back collar of her dress, but she is otherwise unmarked.
Then she emits a gasp, her hand going to the back of her head. Lifting her head and holding her hand before her eyes, she stares at her fingers, as if xpecting to find something there. But nothing mars her fingertips. She gazes on them, confused, then looks up, staring about her. She blinks, not recognizing her surroundings, but she does not cry out in fear or disorientation. Nor just yet.
"This is not the Litehouse," she says, stating something that is a fact to her, but a puzzling one, a cause for relief yet a source for concern. She rises to her feet, looking about her, taking in her surroundings, concerned now. "What is this place?" she says, taking a step to the side, looking about her, her shoulders tensing a bit, almost the way an agitated bird might flare its wings, ready to fly.

Arriving from the moment after her orison reaches its final end: She'll be puzzled, even a bit apprehensive at first, but she's fairly adaptable and her curiosity will get the better of her quickly. Don't hesitate to punt all kinds of folks to her: normal people. Odd people. Beings who don't look like people: she's quiet but accommodating.
