The Windfall Ghost Figurine - Mie

Awarded Entity Number - ADK1207-TWM

Chosen 7th of September, in the Year of Quiet Hauntings.

Placed into the New World.

There are old orchards where fallen fruit is never gathered after dusk.

The first windfalls of autumn are said to mark the point at which the orchard begins keeping its own account. Fruit found beneath the trees before morning may be taken. Fruit heard falling after dark is best left where it lies.

The Guild records the Windfall Ghosts as appearing shortly after the first fruit drops, most often between the outer rows where the grass has grown long. They are rarely seen arriving. By morning they are simply there, standing among the fallen apples as though they have been counting them.

Whether they guard the orchard, claim its offerings, or merely wait for something else to arrive has never been established.

Mie was first recorded near the edge of the orchard after a night of strong wind, where several fallen apples had gathered beneath the boughs though no broken branch could be found. By morning she was standing among them, as if keeping account of what had been lost.

She is most often associated with the first heavy drop of the season: the fruit that strikes the ground before autumn has properly declared itself. Where Mie appears, the orchard is said to have begun its reckoning.

Mie the ghost figurine stands at 8 cm in height.
