im assuming this is out of character, yeah? also so sorry for how late this is we never got the notification.

Claire is a fankid oc (Mr. Qi being her father, obviously). we originally really wanted to include her in an arc, but the plot was kinda messy and we didn't like how she fit into the narrative, so we scrapped it.

we also had a more important overall thread planned, the farmer's introduction (still planned, but we're sick so it's taking a while. and we lost the original file with some of the panels so... may take a bit), so that also contributed to it getting cut.

we may still incorporate her in some way in the future (unlikely), but the arc we planned is scrapped and likely never happening. it didn't really add anything to the narrative either, which i don't believe is necessarily a bad thing in every case, but we weren't happy with the concept anymore.

also, congrats on coming off anon? unless our ask box changed and only allows public asks now?

anyways, that's Claire. she's the other purple haired girl in the post about if Qi has his eyes on any of the other villagers.
