Mim

With the use of the the magical light of Mim’s first leaves, the player guides Mim to dispel Rypoi, spirits that lurk in the darkness. But, the player also helps by hiding mim from the hidden dangers, the Scarlet Roots, that are drawn to the light. Therefore, the player needs to balance their usage of light from the power of the first leaf as they dive deeper in The Undergrove.

The player to understand that the character is not strong. Even though she has her fears, we want Mim to learn to cope with the harsher environment ahead of her.

It is alright to be afraid.
