Personality:
Mist is an outgoing and helpful person, willing to help anyone, be they friends, strangers, or monsters. It's Mist who offers her own farm to Raguna the day he comes to Kardia, giving him not only the farmland, but also the house, some tools, and seeds to start him off, as well as offering advice whenever the occasion comes up. This helpfulness applies even when she doesn't necessarily have anything to give; when Raguna later finds her in Trampoli Village, she yet again offers him a house and land, despite not owning either. (Luckily the actual owner is alright with it.) You can see her kindness extending to monsters as well, asking Raguna to help send them back to their home, and cheerfully allowing a duck to nest in her garden (Rune Factory is a world where everything from dragons to livestock is considered a potentially dangerous monster).

Helpfulness aside, Mist is also considered strange by everyone who mentions her, a fact which may quickly be understood simply through speaking with her yourself. She has a spontaneous personality, acting on her thoughts no matter how random they may be, and often taking things seriously which other people wouldn't. The best example of this may be the premise for Frontier: after living her entire life in Kardia, one night she hears a voice in her dreams which seems to be asking for help. She disappears from town the next day, without a word to anyone, and moves permanently into Trampoli Village, with the idea that she may be able to find and aid the source of the voice there. Other strange moments include seriously mentioning a dream she had about chicks and their troubles with seniority, or saying "So you've come at last!" for no particular reason when Raguna shows up. She's something of an airhead as well, often leaving after an explanation only to come back with something she'd forgotten, whether that be a trivial comment about the rain, or the present of a useful spellbook. She offers to give Raguna an empty bottle at one point, only to admit she's forgotten where she put it, and lets him search her house for it.

Mist is actually a very intelligent person, despite her airheaded attitude. Aside from offering detailed farming advice, and being frightfully good at getting what she wants from people (like getting a free house in Trampoli), she is also knowledgeable in the workings of her world (where monsters come from, how magic works, etc), and follows Raguna to the bottom of every dungeon he visits in an effort to solve the mystery of what's going on. Likewise, she knows perfectly well her own lack of fighting ability, instead offering advice to Raguna where she can. Sadly, knowing herself doesn't mean she has particularly good social skills, and she often voices out loud the things nobody else in the room is willing to say (such as Zavier having been totally uselessly unhelpful in Toros Cave, or Melody's lava ruins bathhouse being an incredibly bad idea). These things are said without any malice though; she's simply stating facts, and tends to shrug off any resentment she gets from it. She's also totally oblivious to Zavier's very obvious crush on her, a fact which genuinely surprises Raguna. Mist can be kind of casually manipulative too, always giving turnip seeds to Raguna, and hinting at how presents (such as turnips) can raise people's affection towards you. She tends to pull people into her pace, making it difficult for Raguna to argue when she invites him to move to Trampoli, and leaving Rosetta - who grew up with her - to just shake her head and not bother questioning whatever she happens to do or say. Whatever she does though, she always means well, and aside from the occasional joke, her words are always genuine.

In all, Mist is a girl who cares deeply about the land and people around her, willing to go through monster-infested areas in order to find the answers to their problems, and kind enough to offer everything but the clothes on her back to someone else in need. She honestly worries about the monster infestations around Kardia, both for the sake of the people as well as the monsters themselves; actually, it can be assumed she may have some nature-related powers of her own, considering her kind attitude toward monsters (she never once mentions them as a danger, and even comments that Raguns must feel really safe with them watching over him in the caves), and her ability to get through even the most dangerous dungeons without a scratch (a fact Raguna gives up questioning after she shows up in the third or fourth cave).

Roleplay Sample:
It was strange. She'd had vivid dreams before, sure, but never ones quite like this - not that she thought it was a dream, but at the moment it was hard to consider any other options, aside from possibly having found herself in the land of the monsters themselves. She was battered and bruised for reasons she didn't quite understand, and the doctor hadn't been particularly helpful in that respect. The area was unfamiliar as well, not just as a place she'd never been to, but...well, the architecture was unfamiliar, for one thing. And the hospital had been kind of unnerving.

...Maybe she really was in the First Forest. There was a forest just outside of town, after all, and she'd seen a few strange-looking people--maybe they were monsters? Though they didn't look anything like the ones she was used to. But of course, there was one easy way to find out the answer to that question, wasn't there?

Mist wandered aimlessly around town, looking at everything around her with an overwhelming curiosity. The people as well fell under her curious gaze, and eventually she approached an interesting-looking stranger, waving to get his attention.

A cheerful smile, a friendly voice...

"Excuse me sir, but are you a monster?"

...and kind of a strange question.
