Sohalia
Sohalia dug merrily, finding that she enjoyed the physical labor in its simplicity. It was hard but honest work, and it didn't take long before sweat appeared on her forehead, trickling down the sides of her face to drip onto the ground below. It wasn't long, however, before her shovel hit something hard and unforgiving, and she frowned at the gravel as she uncovered it with her shovel. That simply wouldn't do at all! She needed dirt for her sapling, not rocks!
For a moment, the young woman considered simply replacing the dirt and trying a new spot, but she suspected that much of her chosen area would have the same problem. So instead, she leaned on her shovel, biting her lip in thought. How could she most efficiently remove the rocks?
Leaning down, she removed as many of the larger rocks as she could by hand, leaving her with the finer layer of gravel to be removed. This she regarded with a scowl. Her shovel was ineffective at breaking through the little rocks, and she wasn't sure what the other tools available to her were, much less which would be most effective. Therefore, she shrugged to herself and got on her hands and knees, and began to pull out the gravel by hand.
