I've got a villager who looks identical to Palanke. She, too, dislikes running, although she seems uncommitted on snakes. She has just turned 14 and has started work as a scientist. She soon became an adept and is on course to become a master before she's 18. As a child she spent a lot of the time "running around" in slow motion as well!
