Based on the fact that animals and plants remain unharmed while woodworkers and laborers are affected, she can rule out hungry ghosts such as Preta or Krasue.
It is unlikely to be vengeful spirits — if that were the case, the ENTIRE workshop would have been affected, and everyone would have fallen ill.
Warin deduces that the cause must be tree spirits — their ability to curse and limited influence explains why only a small portion of the workshop has been affected.
There are two types which fit the description. A Lady of the Plantain tree, and A Lady of the Takhian (Tha - Khian) tree.
While both of them appear as beautiful women wearing dark green clothes and a Sabai (shawl that covers the chest and back), there are a few ways to tell the difference.
[Lady of the Plantain tree]
A flirty spirit that is interested in amassing a harem of men she can fool around with. Easily jealous, willing to kill a man who is cheating (or perceived to be cheating) on her by snapping their necks.
[Lady of the Takhian tree]
A distant spirit that is interested in keeping the forest clean. She prefers to be left alone, tending to the forest by using her rake. She hates trash and those that litter. She can slap someone’s head off if threatened.
She finds torn cloth, chunks of leather, and old wooden skewers… someone is leaving these things in the forest. However, she doesn’t know which types of trees are in which sector.
