The types of jobs they pick up (roughly in descending order of skill and preference) are gathering & foraging, cooking/baking, farming/gardening, animal care, cleaning & misc tasks, construction/repair, tree felling & mining**.  Non-violent, they do not hunt, fight, or fish; they will forage for shellfish like oysters, clams, and mussels.  At most they will attempt to defend themselves.  They are open to discuss other types of work.  They tend not to take on jobs for more than 2 or 3 days at a time, as they start becoming antsy doing one thing for too long.  If they are helping someone with a job that takes 2 or 3 days, they may ask about staying over at that person’s abode for the duration.<br/><br/>A true sensualist, Quoi often slips into a reverie when their senses are engaged; watching a sublime sunrise, taking in the scent wafting from a bruised mint leaf, the soft sponginess of moss beneath their bare feet, the soft susurration of a breeze through leaves, enjoying the salty tang of a lover’s sweat.<br/><br/>They are becoming well-known in the valley for the delicious tea blends they create from items they’ve foraged as well as the savory veggie pastries and fresh fruit tarts they bake.<br/><br/>Qoui’s home is a<div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">small cabin</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://i.imgur.com/KdVa0qh.png)</div></div>located due east of the town’s museum, looking out onto the shoreline from just inside the tree line. It had been sitting abandoned and dilapidated for several years before Quoi arrived, and when they discovered it, they were told they could claim it if they fixed it up.  Over the course of several months, they worked on it by themselves and bartered with others for work beyond their capabilities. Now it is a cozy single room structure with a second floor storage area. It does have electricity, that Quoi tries to use as little as possible.  They don’t have a TV, but they do have a radio.<br/><br/><strong>Favorite Thing?: </strong>being outdoors<br/><strong>Least Favorite Thing?: </strong>feeling constrained<br/><strong>Hobbies: </strong>baking, creating tea blends, exploring the valley, dancing, socializing, participating in celebrations, sky/stargazing, sitting on their porch with a nice cup of tea during rainstorms<br/><strong>Cat or Dog?: </strong>dog (but none at the moment)<br/><br/><strong>Misc Notes</strong><br/>*Quoi doesn’t like to subscribe to any particular label but most folks view them as non-binary or genderfluid, and Quoi is fine with that as those labels come ‘close enough’.  Although they/them pronouns are preferred, Quoi doesn’t mind if referred to by he/him or she/her pronouns.<br/><br/>**While they are proficient at lumberjacking and okay at mining, they don’t particularly enjoy those tasks, especially for more than a day.<br/><br/>Sequoia is their chosen name.  They generally only share that information with people they become close to, and to date they haven’t shared their given name with anyone in the valley.<br/><br/>Fascinated by liminal places and events; shorelines, tree lines, dawn, twilight, transitions of seasons, etc.<br/><br/>Primarily a vegetarian, Quoi does eat shellfish and occasionally fish.  They rarely drink alcohol, preferring water, tea, juices, and cider.  They will enjoy a cup or two of hard cider occasionally, especially when socializing or during celebrations.<br/><br/><strong>Link to Player Ons and Offs: </strong>Quoi is open to anything lighthearted that feels good.  (feel free to ask)  Doesn’t like being restrained.<br/><br/>Quoi’s sexual attraction doesn’t derive from things like gender identity, biology, body shape, age (above 18), etc.  Their attraction grows from mutual connection and desire.  So they are open to sexual relationships with any person they grow close to, if that desire is reciprocated. They don’t want to be restrained to a single relationship, so if something becomes serious, their partner(s) would have to be comfortable with a mutually open or poly type relationship.<br/>
