Shinobu character study going great Haha

One of Shinobu’s first memories was a worm coiling around her fingers.  Her parents always scolded her when they found her out digging in the dirt and mud, picking at the grubs and worms she found. They scrubbed the dirt from beneath her stubby fingernails, and lamented having such a strange little girl. Kanae had never dug around in the dirt and brought worms in for them. Granted, most of the complaining was said with obvious fondness, as they found Shinobu’s oddities amusing, if not mildly exasperating at times. But they never really seemed to understand why she found slimy, squirming things to be so interesting.  Shinobu remembered… She remembered digging in a plot of dirt, the plot of dirt that would become her eventual favorite in the yard. A myriad of dead leaves and foliage collected there, the flat stones were easily turned over. Insects and frogs and lizards were easily found. Shinobu dug her tiny fingers into the dirt, and pulled out a writhing worm. It twisted around her pinkie, and she smiled as she watched it.  She remembered thinking the life of a worm must be a very simple one. She did not know why she thought that, considering she could have only been about four or five years old. What responsibilities did a child that age have? Not many. She might as well have been a worm herself.
