Guide noticeThis page contains gameplay and story spoilers and may describe mature systems.

Overview

Lime is the 23-year-old shy mystic of the Spirit Element — a luminous light-green-haired maid who cleans the wizard's tower in the early morning hours, hoping to absorb magical knowledge through proximity to arcane artifacts. Trained by The Seer of Veiled Paths, a mysterious hermit who lived in the deep forest, Lime was raised to perceive auras, ley lines, and the spiritual residue left by every magic user. She speaks in whispers, fidgets constantly, hides behind her hair when overwhelmed, and her catchphrase is "The spirits whisper of..." — usually followed by trailing off shyly.

She received the most extensive personality overhaul of any maid in the dialogue update — her entire dialogue was rewritten to be much shier, full of *whispers*, *fidgets*, *soft voice*, *looks down*, *hides behind hair* stage directions. The contrast with loud Violet, blunt Mandarin, and bubbly Lychee is intentional — Lime is the gentle whisper inside the maid sisterhood.

Her recruitment is the reward for completing the Wizard Initiation Test at the wizard's tower with a passing score (17+ out of 25 maximum). She covers the 6 PM – 10 PM brothel cleaning shift — the fourth of five, the evening slot.

Where to Find Her

Pre-Recruitment: Wizard's Tower Interior

  • Hours: 5 AM – 10 AM, every day
  • She cleans the wizard's tower in the early morning, before Gandon arrives
  • This is where you build your relationship with her and take the Wizard Initiation Test

Post-Recruitment: Brothel Maids' Quarters

  • Hours: 6 PM – 10 PM, every day
  • Her permanent home and shift after joining the brothel
  • Covers the evening cleaning slot (fourth of the five maids — hands off from Lychee at 6 PM and to Rain at 10 PM)

How to Recruit Her — The Wizard Initiation Test

Lime's recruitment is gated behind the Wizard Initiation Test at the wizard's tower. Score 17+ to recruit her.

Trigger Conditions

  • Location: Wizard's Tower Interior
  • Required: Take and pass the Wizard Initiation Test (score 17+ out of 25)

How the Test Works

  • The test is administered at the wizard's tower — Gandon's domain
  • Final score determined by your performance during the test
  • Score 17–24: Lime recruited + 1 crystal awarded
  • Score 25 (perfect): Lime recruited + 3 crystals awarded

What Happens on Success

On a passing score (17+):

  1. store.maid_4_acquired = True — Lime is officially recruited as Maid #4
  2. acquire_maid(4) — Maids' Quarters level increases by 1
  3. +50 relationship points awarded to Lime immediately (she starts at strong Acknowledged stage right out of the gate)
  4. +1 crystal (or +3 for perfect score 25)
  5. Her schedule shifts to brothel evening shift (6 PM – 10 PM)

What Happens on Failure

Score below 17 — no Lime recruitment, no crystals, but the test is resettable and you can attempt again. Her pre-recruitment dialogue at the tower continues unchanged.

Why this is unique: Lime is the only maid recruited via a mini-game / test pass. There's no plot scenario, no relationship grind, no faction rep — pass the test, get the maid (and crystals as a bonus). The test itself is the entire courtship.

For the Wizard Initiation Test mechanics, scoring system, and strategies, see the wizard_initiation_test.md guide.

Pre-Recruitment Action — Magic Admiration

Before passing the test, Lime has one action available at the Wizard's Tower:

Talk

  • Location: Wizard's Tower Interior
  • Time: 5 AM – 10 AM
  • Cost: 15 min
  • Daily Limit: 20
  • Reward: +1 base relationship
  • Triggers special "magic_admiration" dialogue group — Lime nervously whispers about the magic users she's sensed (Gandon, Sashina, Aziza, Sabbath, Willow), the ley lines beneath the tower, the wards on the walls, her training with the Seer of Veiled Paths

Why use it: While you grind for the Wizard Initiation Test, you can build pre-recruitment relationship with Lime through daily Talks. Combined with her +50 starting relationship boost on recruitment, you can have her at solid Friend stage almost immediately when she joins the brothel.

Post-Recruitment Actions (Brothel Maids' Quarters)

Once recruited, Lime's action set is the standard maid kit:

Action Time Stage Daily Limit Points
Talk 15 min Stranger+ 30 +2 base
Spiritual Awareness (One-Time) 30 min Known + Comm 45+ — +10 + +1 Mystic permanent
Maid Service (H2H) 30 min Intimate 3 +15 base

Talk

The workhorse daily action. Triggers Lime's three-type dialogue system (general banter / other maids not found / other maids found). Her dialogue covers: divination practice, spiritual energy reading, magical practitioner analysis, cryptic mystical wisdom, and her growing comfort serving the brothel.

Spiritual Awareness (One-Time)

The only permanent stat-boost action in her kit. Requires Known stage and Communication 45+. Reward: +1 Mystic permanent, +10 relationship.

"*soft voice* My Seer taught me... Spirit Element connects all things... *fidgets* When you quiet your mind and truly listen, you can feel the threads binding everything together. Past, present, future... all one tapestry. *looks up nervously* ...awareness itself is magic."

Maid Service (H2H, Intimate Stage)

Her intimate H2H conversation, available at Intimate stage with daily limit 3. Marks the lm_h_1 extras gallery entry.

Relationship Point Values

Action Base Points
Talk (Wizard's Tower — pre-recruitment) +1
Talk (Brothel — post-recruitment) +2
Spiritual Awareness (one-time) +10 + +1 Mystic
Maid Service H2H +15
Wizard Test recruitment reward +50 starting points

Bonus Math (Exact Calculation Order)

The relationship point formula runs in this order:

  1. Start with base points from the action
  2. +1 per favorite stat met (Intelligence 45, Mystic 40, Perception 35 — up to +3)
  3. × 2 if the player has Divination skill (her special/favorite skill)
  4. +1 if player owns the "1 Ring" key item
  5. +1 if Cologne buff is active
  6. +1 if Buffer Optimization level is active
  7. +1 chance roll based on Attractiveness (capped at 50%, or 60% with Ornate Locket)

Worked example: Maid Service H2H (base 15), all 3 favorite stats met, Divination learned: (15 + 3) × 2 = 36 points per H2H — at daily limit 3, that's +108/day base.

Min-max insight: The +50 starting relationship boost on recruitment is unique to Lime. Combined with daily Talk grinding (+2 × 30/day) and the Mystic skill doubling, she progresses through stages noticeably faster than any other maid post-recruitment.

Voice & Personality Highlights

Lime's dialogue is completely unique among the five maids — built around shy whispering and mystical fragments:

  • Universal stage directions: *whispers*, *fidgets*, *soft voice*, *barely audible*, *looks down*, *hides behind hair*, *nervous*, *blushes*, *trails off*
  • Speech pattern: Sentences trail off mid-thought. "The spirits whisper about someone special... someone who will... *blushes and stops talking*"
  • Seer of Veiled Paths references: "My Seer taught me Spirit Element connects all things..."
  • Element philosophy: Spirit = mystical awareness, unseen energies, intuitive connection. "True cleanliness is... both physical and spiritual..."
  • Magical practitioner analysis: She reads aural signatures of every spell-user in the realm — Gandon (precise scholarly), Sashina (time-magic ripples), Aziza (half-elf balance), Sabbath (chaotic wild magic), Willow (golden restoration threads she doesn't know about)
  • Prophecy hints (counts on fingers nervously): "*fidgets* The prophecy mentioned five... but I've only found... *counts on fingers nervously* ...not everyone yet..."
  • Self-aware about being shy: "*soft anxious voice* The others are all so confident... I'm trying to be braver... *looks up nervously* ...Spirit is important too, right?"

Sister Dynamics (post other maids acquired)

  • Violet: "Her aura burns so bright... such creative energy... but she's very loud..." *fidgets nervously*
  • Mandarin: "I sense powerful protective spirits around her... she makes me feel safe but also nervous..."
  • Lychee: "Her energy is so... cheerful and pink... sometimes it's overwhelming..." *hides behind hair*
  • Rain: "Her analytical mind creates fascinating logical patterns... I sense kinship in our observations..." — Rain is the sister Lime feels closest to

The Player Realization

"*barely audible* Destiny brought me here... I think... the spirits kept pointing this way... *blushes* ...to you..."

Lime is the maid who most explicitly suspects the player is The Prismatic Master, sensing cosmic energy around them. But she's too shy to ever say it directly.

Cross-Maid & Cross-Character Plot Integration

Lime has the most cross-character integration of any maid because of her mystical sensitivity:

  • Lime + Lychee Elements (cross-maid plot, Acquaintance+ both)
  • Lime + Rain Analysis (cross-maid plot, Acquaintance+ both — Rain is the sister she connects with most)
  • Lime + Mandarin Protection (cross-maid plot, Acquaintance+ both)
  • Lime Meets Blinky (cross-character plot in the Arcane Room, Lime Acquaintance+)
  • Lime + Lychee Elemental Sisters (Friend+ both)
  • Maids Compete Bedroom (Friend+ Mandarin/Lychee/Lime, Master Bedroom)
  • Whispers of Six (Close Friend+ all five maids — hints at the sixth Void Maid concept)

Her dialogue references magic users throughout the realm — Gandon, Sashina, Aziza, Sabbath, Willow, the court wizard, dungeon practitioners — creating natural narrative bridges to those characters' arcs.

Phase 1: Pre-Recruitment (Wizard's Tower)

    • Lime Meets Blinky (Acquaintance+ Lime, in Arcane Room)

Phase 6: Intimate (Maid Service Unlocks)

  • Maid Service H2H unlocks at Intimate stage (+15 base, daily 3)
  • Continue daily Talk

  • The all-maids EXP bonus stacks across the entire team — Lime becomes the team multiplier

Equipment — Lime's Signature Item

Lime's Burning Passion (Epic Tier)

  • Source: Kupie Love Training achievement
  • Maid: Lime only
  • Effects: +20% EXP all maids, +10% Cleaning all maids, +25% EXP (Lime herself)
  • The strongest team multiplier of all five epic items
  • Equip on Lime to give the entire maid team simultaneous +20% EXP and +10% cleaning
  • Pursue this Kupie achievement first if you're trying to power-level your maid team
  • Slot 1 (L1+): Cleaning Manual Vol. 1 ($400, +10% EXP) for fast leveling; replace with Lime's Burning Passion at L4
  • Slot 2 (L4+): Mastery Guidebook (+35% Maid EXP, 5 crystals at Sylwithe's Hollow) — stacks with Burning Passion for ridiculous EXP gain

Tips & Optimal Play

  • The Wizard Initiation Test is the gate — pass with score 17+ to recruit her, score 25 for the +3 crystal bonus.
  • +50 starting relationship is unique to Lime — recruitment alone gets her to Acknowledged. Daily Talk pushes her through stages faster than any other maid.
  • Daily Talk in the pre-recruitment phase counts — visit the Wizard's Tower 5-10 AM while you study/grind for the Initiation Test, building rapport early.
  • Spiritual Awareness gives free +1 Mystic permanent — Comm 45 gate. Don't miss it; Mystic 40 is also her favorite stat.
  • Divination skill doubles all her points — keep it learned. Thematically perfect for Spirit Element.
  • Her favorite stats are scholarly (Intelligence 45, Mystic 40, Perception 35) — fit a Wizard Initiation Test build naturally. If you've been training for the test, you've been pushing the right stats.
  • Lime's Burning Passion is the team-EXP multiplier — most synergistic of the 5 epic items because the effect spreads to all maids. Pursue Kupie Love Training for it.
  • Her shy personality is canon, not a bug — the dialogue overhaul made her dramatically shier than other maids. Players who expect chatty maid banter sometimes find her quiet content. Lean into the whispered mystical tone.
  • She's the most "lore-aware" maid — her dialogue references the prophecy, the other Elemental Maidens, and (counts on fingers) which ones she's met. She's the one who most explicitly believes you might be The Prismatic Master.
  • Lime + Rain is the sister bond that develops fastest — they're the introverts of the maid team. Acquaintance+ with both unlocks the Lime + Rain Analysis plot.
  • Whispers of Six at Close Friend+ all five is the capstone plot — hints at a future sixth Void Maid concept. Worth pushing all five to Close Friend+ to see it.
  • All 6 images are interchangeable — like all maids, her appearance doesn't change with stage. The transformation is in dialogue (slightly more confident over time, but still mostly whispering).
  • No animations, no dates — her content is pure dialogue and the H2H. The romance is the relationship grind plus the prophecy reveal.

Her recruitment via the Wizard Initiation Test makes her the only maid recruited through a mini-game.
