Pr is the first child in her family and she just had her little sister
when she was in the 1st grade of junior High School.
Pr spent her childhood with her grandparents. Her mother worked for a
factory, while her father worked as a farmer Pr spent her time at home
by watching and listening to songs collection in VCD player bought by
her mother until she perfectly memorized the songs. Unfortunately, Pr
did not have any peer surround her house so he never spent her time
playing together with another child around the environment where she
lived. Her grandparents used to invite her to join them to go to the
rice field. Pr closed to her grandfather who was a reog shaman. Pr used
to ask her grandfather to join doing the sacred ceremony for reog in a
cemetery. Her grandfather agreed to go with her in consequence she had
to keep silent during the ceremony, and if she talked to much during the
ceremony her grandfather will ask her to go home. Pr’s parents used to
invite Pr to see reog performance, as her father, mother, and
grandfather involved in that performance. During her childhood, Pr used
to see s little supernatural creature like dwarfs at night. Her ability
improved, until she was in elementary school. She could see a
supernatural creature, even in the afternoon. Pr used to tell her
grandfather or mother what she could see. Both of them paid attention to
her story, then by giving comment and explaining, what the creature
actually is and tell her what she had to do when she saw those
creatures.
